Sister Mary Ellen DoughertyJuly 7, 2004
Testimony of Migration and Refugee Services United States Senate Sr. Mary Ellen Doughtery, SSD The movement of people across boundaries around the world is part of the collective human experience, but towards the end of the 20th century a new and disturbing issue related to the international migration of humans began to emerge: the trafficking of humans through the use of fraud, force, or coercion. Now, in the twenty-first century, the practice reaches every corner of the globe, from Asia and Africa to Europe and the Americas. The purveyors of this new international scourge--international traffickers and their accomplices--gain power and reap profits from their abuse and exploitation of those they traffic. This is not a problem which exists merely on far away shores and in less developed lands. It exists right here in the United States, where thousands of persons are trafficked each year for purposes of forced prostitution or forced labor. Trafficking in persons is a modern-day form of slavery, and it is the largest manifestation of slavery today. Catholic Social Teaching The Catholic bishops of the United States and the church community throughout the nation have placed combating human trafficking as a top priority in their public advocacy, educational outreach, and in providing service to trafficking victims. From the Catholic perspective, human trafficking represents a scourge on the earth which must be eradicated. It is indeed troubling that in the twenty-first century human beings are being sold into bondage as prostitutes, domestic workers, child laborers, and child soldiers. His Holiness Pope John Paul II, in a letter on the occasion of the International Conference on "21st Century Slavery--the Human Rights Dimension to Trafficking in Human Beings," stated that human trafficking "constitutes a shocking offense against human dignity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights. In particular, the sexual exploitation of women and children is a particularly repugnant aspect of this trade, and must be recognized as an intrinsic violation of human dignity and human rights." The Catholic bishops of the United States and Mexico have also spoken out on the issue, calling upon the governments of the United States and Mexico to work together to apprehend traffickers and destroy trafficking networks: "Both governments must vigilantly seek to end trafficking in human persons. Together, both governments should more effectively share information on trafficking operations and should engage in joint action to apprehend and prosecute traffickers." Bishop Thomas Wenski, Coadjutor Bishop of Orlando, Florida, and Chairman, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration, recently reaffirmed the commitment of the church to ending human trafficking: "The Catholic Church...in the United States stands ready to work with our government to end this scourge. We cannot rest until trafficking in human persons is eliminated from the globe." At least 700,000 persons annually are trafficked within or across international boundaries. They are forced or enticed mainly from less-developed countries and regions, such as India, the former Soviet Union, Central and South America, and throughout Africa. They traverse the globe, ending in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Israel, Australia, Japan, Canada, and the United States. It is estimated that as many as 17,000 human beings each year are trafficked into the United States. Women and children have been forced to work in prostitution and child pornography rings, while men, women, and children have been forced into different types of manual labor, without pay or protection. Victims of human trafficking are commonly linked by poverty and lack of opportunity. They are also connected by their desperation and urge to escape the double trap of privation and their perception of migration as an accessible escape route. Often they seek to escape life in a dreary village or oppressive slum, with the hope of finding opportunity and a brighter future in a more developed land. It is in these environments that human traffickers flourish, promising unsuspecting victims an opportunity to travel to a foreign land, at no immediate expense, for employment and housing. At the end of the journey, they find coercion, abuse, entrapment, and exploitation in a brothel, a massage parlor, an illicit factory, or an agricultural outpost. By the time they are rescued, if ever, they are shattered by physical, mental, and psychological abuse in the roles of prostitutes, domestic servants, or manual laborers. Many become ill with disease or become infected with HIV. Some lose their lives. The Church Response to Human Trafficking As I mentioned, Mr. Chairman, the Catholic Church has placed the elimination of trafficking as an important priority in the areas of public advocacy, public education, and services to trafficking victims. We are working to raise awareness within the Catholic community about the problem, including trainings to help diocesan staff identify and assist victims of trafficking. We have sponsored roundtables and fora on the subject and held public meetings on several occasions to educate the Catholic faithful and others on human trafficking. It is important to note, Mr. Chairman, that all of our training and education are directed toward one end: the best interest of the victims. Our education and training are intended to help people to identify victims when they see them, and to empower them to act on what they see. Part of this effort is driven by the Catholic Coalition Against Human Trafficking, which consists of about twenty Catholic organizations which convene quarterly and work together on advocacy and public outreach. The coalition was instrumental in influencing provisions of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and its successor, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2003. The Church and its service organizations, particularly Catholic Charities, also provide support services to both adult and child victims of trafficking, including health and mental health services, employment assistance, English-language training, counseling, housing and other material assistance. Through our service providers, we also provide case management services, social service assistance, and legal assistance, where appropriate. In our experience, Mr. Chairman, victims of trafficking need access to a continuum of services in order to attain self-sufficiency and restore mental and physical health. Trafficking victims also need, first and foremost, safety and security. Many are terrified of the traffickers who brought them to the United States and show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, among other mental health problems. Providing them with a secure, safe, and nurturing environment is crucial to ensuring their return to society as contributing members. In this vein, MRS/USCCB has developed a system for short-term emergency housing where victims can be safe until they are assigned to a non-governmental organization to provide them with the services they are entitled to as victims of trafficking. Our system of safe houses involves the commitment of individuals and communities, including religious communities, who open their doors when there is an emergency in their area or who network to ensure that victims receive housing and are protected. Mr. Chairman, let me add that faith-based organizations are uniquely positioned to identify and provide assistance to victims of human trafficking. First, faith-based organizations act from a theological and philosophical perspective. For example, the themes of Catholic social teaching--the protection of human dignity and human rights; the preferential option for the poor; the call to family and community; the rights of workers; solidarity and care for creation--all address evils inherent in human trafficking. These principles of justice are not unique to Catholicism but are manifest in most religions. Commitment to these principles gives the issue of human trafficking a sense of urgency to many faiths and religious communities. Second, many faith-based organizations have national and international partner agencies that enhance their capacity and reach. The Catholic Church is certainly no exception and plays a leading role in giving voice to the victims of trafficking. Through advocacy and material support, the Church utilizes her full reach, resources, and expertise - both domestically and internationally - to bring peace, justice, and hope to this vulnerable population. For example, the Catholic Church is present overseas, in the form of Catholic Relief Services and other Catholic overseas assistance organizations and the universal Church, as well as domestically, in the form of Catholic Charities, local dioceses, and parishes. We also have access to other service providers, such as religious congregations around the world. Finally, faith-based organizations have resources, in the form of human resources, in-kind donations, and other assets, which provide an important infrastructure which can assist in the fight against human trafficking. While we see the effort as a partnership with the U.S. government and other governments around the world, we would be performing this work regardless, particularly because of the moral gravity of the issue and the ongoing suffering of its victims. U.S. Government Response to the Plague of Human Trafficking Mr. Chairman, in 2000 the U.S. Congress passed landmark legislation, entitled the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, which provided the U.S. government the framework to respond to the plague of human trafficking in the United States. Just last year, you reauthorized the legislation and made major improvements to it, giving law enforcement authorities more tools to apprehend traffickers and giving trafficking victims, especially children, easier access to immigration benefits and services. Specifically, TVPA revamped U.S. law by making trafficking a crime against an individual, allowing the U.S. government to focus on victims of trafficking. The government now provides funding to assist victims and issues a T-visa, created under the law, to provide protection and permanence to victims. Reauthorization of TVPA allowed for minors to access the T-visa without being forced to testify in open court against their perpetrators and allowed for siblings of victims to come with their parents to the United States. We believe the T-visa and its protection is a major feature of U.S. law which permits victims to remain in the United States and not be sent back to potential traffickers in their home countries. Since the passage of TVPA in 2000, the Department of State, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services have made great strides in implementing the law. Because of their joint and individual efforts, general awareness about the reality of human trafficking has increased, more victims have been identified and referred for services, and more traffickers have been brought to justice. Your leadership, Mr. Chairman, and that of Congress will help improve these efforts even further in the years ahead. However, Mr. Chairman, improvements can be made in several areas, including the provision of a continuum of services to victims and in identifying and referring victims for care. We make the following recommendations for your consideration: 1. Funding for services should be increased and services should be made available to victims from the point they are rescued to the point they are self-sufficient and in good health. While the Congress has appropriated funds for services to trafficking victims through the Office of Refugee Resettlement of the Department of Health and Human Services (ORR/HHS) and the Department of Justice, there exist gaps in funding and services for victims which should be addressed. First, funding for services should be made more available once a victim is identified but before certification by HHS. This is a critical time in the care of a trafficking victim, who is usually traumatized, physically and mentally abused, and insecure. The funding which is available for pre-certification is inadequate to address the needs of an individual when the period between his or her identification and certification lasts many months. Care and placement should begin immediately upon the rescue of a victim. While both the Department of Justice's Office of Victims of Crime and HHS recognize this principle, the funding does not match the long-term care that the investigation mandates. While HHS funding for victims has been adequate given the low numbers of victims identified, it will not accommodate numbers that will surface if the HHS Rescue and Restore program is effective. When large numbers of victims are uncovered, no funded agency can respond without depleting its funding on one single case. We recommend a contingency fund that is both large enough and flexible enough to provide for large-scale emergency cases. Recent events on Long Island demonstrate the need for such a fund. Last week 69 Peruvians were rescued from captivity in Suffolk County, Long Island, by law enforcement authorities. They had been held in captivity for four years, forced to work 18 hour days and pay traffickers. Catholic Charities of the Rockville Centre diocese is now attempting to provide counseling, medical care, job placement, housing, and immigration assistance to the victims. Second, consideration should be given for the care of victims post-certification, at least until they have achieved self-sufficiency and good health. Currently, funding provides for initial screening, health-care, employment referral, and other services, but does not follow the victim beyond the initial stages of resettlement. This leaves these victims susceptible to traffickers and to desperation on the streets. We recommend that the subcommittee examine the continuum of care given to trafficking victims and work to fill the gaps which undermine the potential success of victims to lead happier and more fulfilling lives. 2. More avenues should be created for the referral of victims for certification and services. Although as many as 17,000 persons are trafficked into the United States each year, approximately 500 have been identified and certified since 2000. This is primarily because of the lack of awareness among the general public, community organizations and groups, and local law enforcement authorities, which should improve in the months and years ahead. It is also because there exist only certain avenues for referral, mainly by federal authorities who apprehend and prosecute traffickers and who rescue victims. The reauthorization of the TVPA in 2003 includes a provision which allows ORR/HHS to consider referrals by state and local law enforcement authorities of trafficking victims for certification. However, the language is vague, resulting in confusion as to how local and state law enforcement are involved in referral/certification decisions. We recommend that the exact authority of local and state law enforcement to refer victims for services be clarified and enforced. In addition, many state and local officials are unaware of this provision and of the certification process and services available to victims. Since state and local authorities often encounter trafficking rings and victims without recognizing them as such, more education should be provided by the federal government to state and local governments for this purpose. We applaud the initiatives of the Department of Justice to provide this education and encourage them to move expeditiously. 3. Federal agencies should better coordinate efforts, especially in the certification, protection, and care of victims. The creation of the State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons in the TVPA has helped focus the efforts of the U.S. government in the last several years. Among the initiatives undertaken by the Office include an interagency task force to coordinate efforts and initiatives to combat trafficking and the sponsorship of conferences and fora to educate the public and others about the issue. The Office also issues an annual Trafficking in Persons report, which identifies sending countries and holds them accountable for not addressing the issue in their countries. The Office also speaks for the U.S. government on trafficking issues, raising awareness domestically and abroad. Coordination between federal agencies, however, such as the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services, should be improved. For example, information on victims and prosecutions should be more readily shared between the agencies, and questions about implementation of the law should be jointly considered and addressed. For example, confusion and disagreement over the role of state and local law enforcement in referring trafficking victims continues, without a clear system to take advantage of this provision and encourage those officials to use it. Mr. Chairman, these suggestions and observations are given with the highest respect for the federal officials who are implementing this law and spearheading the U.S. response to this scourge. We must keep in mind that the issue of trafficking in human persons is an emerging issue which will take time to eradicate and that we must work together toward this goal. Child Trafficking Victims Mr. Chairman, MRS/USCCB has a special interest in the situation of children who are trafficking victims. As you know, children are particularly vulnerable to traffickers and are susceptible to their abuses. We must pay particular attention to child trafficking victims and ensure that they are protected and provided special care. Mr. Chairman, children are perhaps the most vulnerable group of victims of trafficking. While efforts to find and assist victims of trafficking have been pursued with commendable commitment over the last several years, we fear that children, as a group, have fallen through the cracks of these enforcement efforts. Since the enactment of TVPA, only 34 child victims have been identified within the United States and referred to trafficking victims assistance. However, knowledge of the nature of trafficking, the sexual exploitation of children, and statistics gathered by the State Department on child trafficking worldwide numbers leads one to conclude that many more children are being held involuntarily in trafficking situations in the United States than we have so far identified. Special attention needs to be given to identifying child victims of trafficking crimes. Those children who are discovered are in need of special protection. Most are unaccompanied, without a parent or guardian to care for them, and their immigration status may be in doubt. Currently, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) ably cares for trafficked and other unaccompanied children without a firm immigration status. Congress could assist ORR by resolving structural ambiguities created when care and placement of these children was transferred from the now defunct Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to ORR. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Sam Brownback have introduced S. 1129, the Unaccompanied Alien Child Protection Act of 2004, which would sensibly resolve these ambiguities and provide other needed reforms in the care and placement of these children, including ensuring that proactive steps are taken to protect such children from smugglers, traffickers, and unscrupulous attorneys who may be cooperating with such criminals. We commend the Senate Judiciary Committee for favorably reporting S. 1129 and urge the Senate and House of Representatives to pass it before the end of the 108th Congress. In early April, 2002, a local law enforcement agency conducted a raid on an organized crime syndicate involving illegal aliens engaged in prostitution in the U.S. Among those apprehended were four young girls from Mexico who had been lured to the U.S. with promises of marriage, but who instead were forced into prostitution and kept in virtual slavery. At the time of their apprehension by law enforcement personnel, the girls, ranging in ages from 14 to 16, had been in the U.S. and kept in slave-like conditions for two years. They were not allowed to leave the houses in which they were forced into prostitution, were often beaten, and were forbidden to even speak with each other. Soon after the raid, a call was made to ORR/HHS and to Migration and Refugee Services of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, requesting assistance in locating an appropriate child welfare environment in which to place the girls. Within a week, the girls were transferred to a state-licensed, residential program for unaccompanied minors which specializes in assisting children suffering from sexual abuse and is experienced in caring for children around the world. Since placement of the girls, reports are that their fears and trauma-induced nightmares are abating. The girls have since received T-visas and helped prosecute the men who trafficked them. The court convicted the traffickers and ordered them to give restitution of $135, 000 to the girls. They are receiving an education and two are living with family. Mr. Chairman, this is an example of how the system should work. Unfortunately, it does not always work in this manner because not enough child victims are able to access the system. The children identified and "determined eligible" for services in the United States to date are largely being served in specialized foster care programs which have long experience caring for refugee, asylee, and other unaccompanied foreign-born children. Immediate safety and long-term stability are the overwhelming needs of child trafficking victims, regardless of age, background, type of enslavement or any other characteristic. For some of the children to date, the referral and service system has worked well. However, a continuum of care in which the child experiences the most stability should become the norm for child referral victims. There are several different principles which should be invoked in any decision-making process regarding child victims: ? The "best interest of the child" standard should be used as the basis of all decision-making related to any child identified in any trafficking situation. In any question of age or "victimhood," the benefit of the doubt should go toward the greater care of the child. ? All children should receive immediate safe haven with a systematic plan for assessing the child's needs. ? Family reunification should be explored as a priority but with great care taken to assure that the claimants are genuine family members, do not have connection to traffickers, and are capable of providing safety for the child. ? Children should be placed in the least restrictive setting commensurate with their safety and emotional and physical needs. ? Children need assistance with legal obligations to assist prosecution and with immigration assistance to ensure that they remain in the United States, if that is in their best interest. ? All children should have a long-term plan for self-sufficiency. Despite best efforts, there exist gaps in the continuum of care for child trafficking victims, including initial identification by law enforcement of trafficked persons as children and victims, referral to ORR/HHS to be determined eligible for services, and possible "family reunification" with traffickers. These gaps can have major consequences for child trafficking victims. For example, when children are not identified as trafficking victims, they may be mistakenly identified as adults, detained and deported through the Department of Homeland Security detention system, placed in overburdened local child welfare systems with little security and planning, or released back to traffickers or their associates. When children are identified as trafficking victims but not referred to ORR/HHS for care, they can be placed in short-term shelters where they experience frequent moves, receive no orderly system of assessment and treatment, and have no long-term safety and security. In order to avoid these devastating consequences for children, we offer the following recommendations: ? Procedures should be developed for all federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel to refer immediately children in trafficking-like situations for assessment and age determination with benefit of the doubt going to the child; ? A system of immediate safe haven should be developed where a child is safe while being determined eligible, which includes immediate care and assessment of needs and a strategy to assess family for possible safe reunification; ? Determination of eligibility for child victims should be expedited; and ? Long-term care in a least restrictive setting should be arranged, with capacity for therapeutic intervention; assistance with legal obligations; plan for family reunification; or eventual self-sufficiency. ? A Child Welfare specialist should be appointed to oversee the child from rescue to self-sufficiency. Such an expert can act as a decision-maker for a traumatized child in a complex legal and child welfare system. The Catholic Church recognizes the special vulnerability of trafficked victims who are children and is ready to work with the federal government to develop and implement programs which address their needs. Mr. Chairman, the issue of trafficking in human persons is perhaps one of the most important human rights issue facing the world community today. The United States, and Congress, have taken significant steps in the past several years to address this problem. The historic passage of trafficking legislation in 2000 established the framework for the U.S. response and places the United States as a moral leader in the effort to eradicate the scourge of trafficking from the face of the earth. I am confident that, with better coordination and cooperation between all branches of government as well as all federal agencies, we can, as a nation, punish traffickers and provide appropriate care to victims. We also will, as a nation, influence other nations to step up their efforts to end this practice, so that vulnerable men, women, and children everywhere will not become victims of the worse side of humanity. Thank you for considering our views today. |

With Willis McGahee on injured reserve, running back Knowshon Moreno is active on gameday for the first time since Week 2.
In his prior games against Kansas City, Moreno has seen more success than against any other NFL team. In five matchups with the divisional foe, he has two games of more than 100 rushing yards, two games with two rushing touchdowns and in the fifth game he averaged 13 yards per carry before leaving the game with a knee injury that ended his season.
He has averaged 5.4 yards per carry against the Chiefs, more than 1.5 yards greater than his average against the rest of the league.
In 2010, Moreno set a career high at Kansas City with 161 rushing yards, a total that remains his highest single-game rushing performance.
The only two multiple-rushing touchdown days of his career were both against Kansas City.
Running back Lance Ball also looks to get more action today and follow up his most recent performance against the Chiefs. In November of 2011, he ran it a career high 30 times — twice his previous career high — and tallied a career-best 96 yards in the Broncos' 17-10 victory.

Nazareth has been chosen as a "testing ground" fot this intensive technological program. Its extension to other groups will depend upon the success of this test here at Nazareth. Should any disaster occur, the gi rls who are taking part in thjs project will assume a vital role. They will be qualified blood technicians, thereby able to assist doctors in their work. Doctor Brown, who is the head of the Civil Defense Program, was in charge of the Blood Program fot· the entire armed services during World War 11. His concern in this experiment stresses its importance. It is an honor bestowed upon Nazareth to be chosen for this experimental pr oject. The girls who ate being tra ined will be of immeasurable service to the community. J(ej/ectiQH Who were the two most influential men in the making of the present United States of America? No doubt we would all answer without hesitation, "George Washington ~nd Abraham Lincoln." These two great American prestdents held office during t he most crucial periods of our young democracy. One had the task of guiding a newly-born nation through its infancy. The other endeavored to save it from 1·uin through internal strife. Today, we are once again faced with a crisis-communism- a deadly virus attacking economic, social and political life. Perhaps the1·e is yet no epidemic of this disease, but we must all be prepat·ed to innoculate our country against such invasion. The only prevention is Faith in God. Patriotism, Charity, and Good Citizenship. We have in our present president a mao of wisdom. understanding, prudence and humility. If we, as good Americans, recognize out" duties, and bear the burdens of our government together, we need not fear any encroaching danger. As we have overcome past crises. so, with the help of God. we will overcome present difficu lties. Washington said in his First Inaugural Address, "Almighty God, we make om· earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large." This should be our praye1· not only as Americans but a~ Catholics. During this Lenten season let us pray also for our President, that he may have the fortitude and the understanding necessary for his task. "Let us have faith that right makes might: and in t.hat faith let us to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it .. . . Trusting to Him Who can 11:0 with mt'\. and remain with you, and be everywhere for v.ood. let us r.onfidently hope that all will yet be well." (Abraham Lincoln.)

So. in order to simplify mnt... ters somewhat f have decided in· stead, to leave behind a few gems of painfully acquired wisdom, realizing that no harm can come from it., for. as Thomas Moore said: ' 4Ask a woman'~ advice, and, whate'CJ' she advises.

Every p1·actice teacher could tell you that practice teaching is an experience worth the pl'eparation and enCJ·gy that must be put into it. And then1 of course, there's nothing like the thrill of seeing your authority enio•·ced when you look up from yout' desk to discover a boy obviously out of his seat talking to another boy.

'l'he•·efot·e, this is going to be an intellectual-type thing. l s hall attempt to analyze the average reader and devotee of science fiction. As I myself am in th is category, this s hould not be too difficult. F irst, then, taking myself as a model. the science fiction fan is intelligent, with an inquil"ing mind and a gentle sense o( hum .. or. (No comment, Edito1'. 'Whots writing this thing?) Secondly, the science fiction fan is never too busy to sit down and expound to the uninitiated on th• obvious meJ·its of the latest. science fiction adventur·e. (My friends will testify to this.} Thirdly, the science fiction fan belongs to a small throng of individuals who arc not. only voci ferous in their likes and dislikes on the science fiction s ide, but are ready, willing, and able to deba te-No! quarrel- with anyone who has the lack of sense to disagree with them. They ate not quite s u•·e what it is about the reading of science fiction that will tum the meekest intellectual into a raging extrovert willing to tear into anyone who can't see the ""why" of science fiction. ACTION: With or Without Russia This would indeed be a change in our foreign policy; and at. present s uch a change seemR very likely. The whole wodd knows only too well the imp01·tance of atomic weapons and the p9l't they could play in any futul'e wal·. It also know-s the value of atomic powe•· - its potential influence on ceonomic prosperity. In the policy which President Eisenhower lately p1·esented to the publ ic may be round the solution to this atomic question. Aceo•·ding to the Atomie Peace Plan of the p•·esidcnt, all fissionable material would be upooled" so that each nation could withdraw the amount needed for l'e .. sea•·ch. Although not explicitly s tated, theJ'e is also the implication that knowledge and ''knowhow'' wouJd also be made available to all. The secrecy under which the countries have been wol'king up till now has in n lal'ge measure hampered p•·og• ·ess. If this plan is put into effect, ntomic powe1· for peace could soon be a reality. But would Russia agree; and what is more important, would she abide by an agl'eement? Whether ot not the. answers to these questions are favorable, the~·e is nothing to prevent the freedom loving nations of the world from joining this prog1·am. F"or, even without Russia, th is would be an important step towa- rd peaee.. Wlth or without Russia, the U. S. mwst act. now! ARLENEKLEM Several well-known psychologists are not working on this s tudy. ( It really isn't too important). But, be that as it may, (trite?) the fact of the matter is (triter?) that the science fiction fan will take on a follower of the wHI-o'·the·wisp movie idol in any battle of enthusiasms. I am proud, no! honored, (tritest!) that my name is among those who have taken Ray Bradbury and H. G. Wells to theil· hearts and into their libraries. To get back to my first decla•·ation, the science fiction fan is most often quite intelligent, I might even say, very intelligent.

Jose Miguel García Fraile – one of our leaders in Spain
I've been a mountaineering guide and climbing instructor for the past 20 years. I was born and brought up in Alicante where I did 4 years of English Studies at the university. I've been climbing and exploring the mountains of our area since I was a teenager. At the age of 23 I moved from the city to the small village of Sella (560 people!) where we run part of our trips, and where I developed my interest in climbing, putting up many new routes and developing the climbing areas of this popular place. I went on to set up a tour company with my business partner, and for the past 10 years I've lead most of the Sierra Aitana treks for Exodus. The itinerary takes place literally in the background of my house!
I also work for local walking tourism development, by organising press trips and also way marking footpaths and sites of cultural interest for visitors. My business partner and I collaborate regularly with the university of Alicante on responsible and active tourism issues.
Away from the mountain scene, my personal hobbies include Latin jazz music; I particularly like Cuban music. I play conga drums in our local jazz band and with other Latin musicians in jam sessions.
I'm also involved in the social movement for the soberanía alimentaria (food sovereignty), which focuses on sustainable development and food security and encourages local food production. I am an activist member of the permanent committee of Alicante and also belong to the Valencian association for the protection of 'local seeds'. True to the principles of food sovereignty, I grow my own organic vegetables and try to live in an environmentally sound way.
Client Reviews:
'Our local guide Jose Miguel was hardworking, charming and courteous with a profound knowledge of and passion for his home area. His magical rucksack produced homegrown olives and many treats for hungry walkers to supplement the plentiful packed lunches. The little extras were great too - the Spa and local museum in Castells, the rock climbing or shopping trip on the free day and the local Spanish band on the final night with Jose on the drums!'
Paul McCormack
'Jose Miguel was an outstanding leader. He worked so hard to ensure that everyone enjoyed the week and was a mine of information about the area, where he lives, and which he so obviously loves. His approach, enthusiasm and knowledge was key to the holiday being so enjoyable. There were lots of thoughtful touches to the holiday - Jose brought us oranges from his garden, invited us to his home for coffee and to see the renovation work that he had carried out, arranged a guided tour of a village olive pressing factory and went to a lot of trouble to ensure that we were all able to do different things on the free day.'

Well, nobody's perfect. Try and work on this weak spot and, maybe someday, you'll learn to appreciate good software, too!
I am intrigued by topics like setting up e-mail servers, reading about cloud stuff like Office 365
Yeah, I know what it feels like. At this point you should try and take up more challenges like LaTeX and CVS.
I'm a good teacher and excel at explaining things as well.
Hmmmm... This changes things. I mean, it's fine with you being an n00b and all, but please don't transmit your insecurities to our kids! Think of the children!
I could buy all the land around a person's house and starve them to death since they couldn't leave.
Hmm... I don't think so. Planning law would require that the house has a road leading to the house, and the road is publicly owned.
You know, we have soap here in Europe as well...

First of all, no country criticized US of anything; Reporters Without Borders is an NGO. Also, the list is on their website without any real commentary on the rankings, just a few notes mainly on the top and bottom scorers (US ain't one of them).
Second, just because you seem to have absolutely no idea about how the rest of the world functions, let me fill you in: In Europe, suing people in general is considered a complete waste of time and money, not to mention suing somebody about his opinion, that is straight-out retarded.
Third, not only are the Netherlands 2nd in RWB's list, but it seems that they have the complete libertarian opinion-expressing package with its ups and downs.
So, feel free to express your opinion, but know that it's complete bullshit.
And I guess you have a clear and viable plan on what to to with the waste?
OK, I'll break it down for you.
However arbitrary the boycott may seem to you, there is some support behind it. Now, if someone decides to ignore it, but still chooses to use the classic interface, wouldn't you agree that they thus show support for Beta, although they don't like using it? They would not participate in the boycott, although they actually support its meaning and purpose (by choosing not to use Beta for posting). Thus the hypocrisy.
You are definitely not bound by any covenant. Feel free to post as much as you want the coming week. But if you really want to make a point, post your comments using the Beta interface.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
And I think you should buy a freaking dictionary.
Sorry for the Offtopic comment, but I thought I'd put this out there just before the anti-Beta boycott officially starts:
Whoever posts stories, comments, moderates or meta-moderates the coming week using the classic Slashdot interface is a hypocrite.
If you like the Beta or couldn't care less about it, then you should use it actively and prove by your participation that you accept it. I think we can be democratic about it and let the community choose. If the comment sections of the articles look alive and well by next Monday, this will mean that the community chose Beta. If AC comments are listening to the crickets, this will mean that the comments are by passer-bys and the actual community chose Classic.
Unfortunately, this seems to be what they teach in MBA programs these days. Everything needs to be periodically "refreshed" or "updated"; even if everything is going exactly how it should and you're #1 in your niche, there's this (horribly mistaken, IMO) impression that your product will magically get better if you change it.
Well they teach that for good reason. If you rest upon your laurels for a long time, then a startup will come from nowhere with a better product that you couldn't even dream of and your userbase will drop you like a sack of potatoes. Microsoft was owning the browser "market" until Mozilla came along, now Chrome is owning the mobile market. Yahoo! was the search engine of choice until Google made them completely irrelevant. Hotmail was looking pretty good too, until Gmail came along. The list goes on and on.
Now, the huge difference is that all of these products/services were beaten by someone/something that was significantly better. Change is important if you want to remain relevant; but MBA programs also teach that you should listen to your customers. Now, Dice is probably listening to the wrong demographic that, I would argue, has no idea how an internet forum should look like (Whitespace? Sure, why not?). Moreover, their implementation is so half-assed it hurts. Even Facebook has a larger information density than Beta: Although it's also a scrollfest, every post is contained and you can see the post, who liked it, and the first handful of comments together with a box for your own comment in one single page.
So don't watch the games.
If a supplier sets their price, it's up to the customer to evaluate if the product is worth the money. I dumped my television altogether a decade ago and don't miss it at all (I do pay the ridiculous german fee for my radios though, since I value listening to the radio). Sportsbars and friend's houses are better options for watching sports anyway.
That's the whole point. With Beta there can be no discussion.
Yes, he hast to throw a fit.
It is a fit against an internet that gets dumber every day; that promotes consumption against creativity. This is not the internet the old-school is used to. Sure commercialization of the web made it what it is, popular and all, but dumbing it down to extremes just makes it yet another worthless aspect of everyday life instead of a platform for communication and creativity.
Slashdot is one of the last popular resorts for people of this kind. Now, the problem is, maybe the Slashdot owners don't want to have techies on the site; they want the teens who know no better to click on the ads. That's just fine, but it will make a lot of people sad and will mark the end of an era. The fit is not really about what the site owners should do with their property, it is against the end of that era.
We are the Borg. You will be assimilated in the comments section.

By Harry Haun "Killer Joe" is another tale — another motel, in fact — predating Friedkin's theatre-going experience and bringing Letts to Manhattan audiences for the first time.
The 29th Street Rep got off the first shot at Killer Joe in 1994, busting its budget on blood bags which were liberally splattered all over the set. Four years later, a starrier revival sat down at the Soho Playhouse for an open-ended run; among the name-brand bodies that fell during its respectably long engagement were Scott Glenn, Amanda Plummer, Sarah Paulson, Lori Petty and, in their New York stage debuts, Michelle Williams and the aforementioned Michael Shannon.
Those last two would look right at home among the stellar cast now being assembled for the film version of Letts' Tony-winning "August: Osage County" (Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, Chris Cooper, et al). He has already turned in his screenplay and will leave the directing to John Wells of "ER" fame.
The Texas trailer trash in "Killer Joe" is less delusional and more frontal than the Oklahoma trailer trash in "Bug." Happiness is not remotely a thing called Joe here; rather, the title character is a Dallas police detective who moonlights as a murderer and has the ear of a young druggie wanting to kill off his mom for her insurance money and offering his sister for sexual sacrifice as a kind of retainer for the service.
25 Jul 2012
photo by Skip Bolen |
Longview's Matthew McConaughey has the title role, and Laredo's Thomas Haden Church plays the druggie's dimwitted dad. "The authenticity of the Texas actor and the Texas accent was really helpful," Letts conceded about that comfortable casting. Of late, McConaughey has been embracing his seedy side like the Holy Grail, and he seems to be taking a perverse pleasure in pulling out all stops for this assignment.
Age hasn't mellowed Friedkin's flair for unbridled violence. The man who once had a demonically possessed Linda Blair masturbate with a crucifix comes up with some unsavory business with a drumstick that could set KFC sales back a couple of years.
This return to form, in Letts' view, is just a man enjoying what comes naturally to him. "He's such a master with that camera. He's done this so long now, and, because he's 76 years old, he just doesn't have a lot of time for B.S. That's why, when he's on the set, he's all business. He doesn't keep a trailer on the set, for instance, because he said, 'What am I doing? Am I going to go lie down? I'm working. If I'm at work, I'm working. If not, I'm going to go home.' He keeps a real energy and enthusiasm on the set. He knows where the camera goes. He's going to give the actors one take, two at the most — and, as a result of that, everybody on the set is really cued up and attuned to what's going on because nobody wants to screw up. It seems to me that he has always been a very vital filmmaker. There's a lot of life in a William Friedkin movie."
"One take, two at the most" — really? Keeee-rect! "Michael Shannon used to ask for a third take, and Friedkin'd say, 'What? You got stock in Eastman Kodak?'
"There's a story that Caleb Deschanel told — he was [director of photography] on 'Killer Joe' — and he remembered a shot they did of a truck pulling up. You could see the reflection of the camera in the truck so Caleb said, 'We got to shoot that again,' but Billy said, 'No. We're moving on.' Caleb said, 'We have to shoot it again. You can see us and the camera crew in the side of the truck.' And Billy said to him, 'Caleb, don't you think movie audiences are sophisticated enough now to know that movies are shot with movie cameras?' And he moved on. Caleb said, 'Of course, he was right. By the time all the stuff gets edited down, if it's in the movie at all, you can't see it.'"

Sometimes all of our environmental problems make it feel like the world is the star of an eco-horror film.
People at 350.org must think so too, because they made two short but awesome videos dramatizing environmental issues like the Keystone XL pipeline and climate change disasters.
Both should be shared with wild abandon.
The first, Keystone Horror, really goes all-out eco-horror, complete with a creepy kid. It even features appearances from actors Ed Begley Jr., Amy Smart, Justin Chatwin, and Wendie Malick. Watch it below:
