Parrish park director Jay Callahan stated that following the festivities and celebration of the grand opening, the park's splash pad and facilities have seen an overwhelming number of reservations for private parties, as well as steady daily customer attendance.
"In the two-and-a-half weeks the park has been opened, we've had six rentals at $200 per event, with six more reservations booked for the coming weeks," Callahan said. "Our splash pad attendance has been 45-50 people per day.
Between concessions, rentals and admission, the splash pad has generated approximately $1,400 per week."
The council joined Callahan in expressing their thanks to the entire Parrish community for making the opening successful, as well as recognizing the efforts of James Brown.
"So many people played a key role in the grand opening, but James did an outstanding job not only during the event, but in the months leading up to it," Parrish Mayor Wayne Gross said. "He has given countless hours of his time to this town and has always been there when we need him."
In other action from the meeting:
•The council extended special recognition to District 5 Sen. Greg Reed for a recent donation of $500 to the Parrish Library and Resource Center. Together with the $500 donated by District 14 Rep. Richard Baughn in May, area legislators have given $1,000 to the town for use with the new library.
"Words simply can't express how much we appreciate what Greg and Richard have done for this town to make our library a special place for our children," Gross said. "They are both a great blessing for our community."
•Council member Jackie Shanklin gave an update into the paving of four roads in his district. Gross stated that the town will apply for additional funding for the paving of more roads in the community in the near future.
•The town's street department report was read.
•A motion to pay the town's bills passed unanimously.
Mayor Pro Tem Cedrick Ramsey and council member William Smith were absent from the meeting.

- Good food, a little priceyFrankDined on 8/29/2014The food and service was good. Went on a Friday night at 6pm, so fairly empty. Server was good and attentive. Food was good, but not quite 5 stars. Fried pita chips are good; but the warm onion dip was lacking flavor. One diner had the BBQ pork tenderloin with whipped sweet potatoes, which was very good. Another had the risotto special, also a good-sized piece or pork tenderloin. Good, but not great. Had the maple creme brulee. Not quite as smooth as we are used to. Also, the custard portion was very warm and would have tasted better cold. Understand it may get not as cold due to melting of the sugar for the glaze, but with the very thick glaze, it warmed up the custard too much for our taste.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quaint spot for casual diningBonnieVIPDined on 8/27/2014In downtown Duluth, charming area, easy to find, good food, nice wines and attentive serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great setting, heavy saucesOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/26/2014Setting is just cute. Old house sits on the village green. Dined outside on the lovely patio. I allowed my server to make recommendations for starter, entree and wine. Fried green tomatoes were crispy and delicious but a bit overwhelmed by a heavy balsamic sauce. Pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked and very tender. Topped with green apples and resting on a bed of mashed sweets and some fresh veggies - excellent preparation but again, overwhelmed by the pool of maple syrup under the potatoes that just made it overly sweet. Chocolate ganache tart appeared to be topped with table salt instead of shaved sea salt as the menu suggested. Wine recommendation was a home run, lots of great moderately priced bottles.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's been better, but still greatRunnerrollVIPDined on 8/26/2014I go to this restaurant often, and usually order the same thing, the salmon filet, which is awesome. This time however, the server, who was very nice, got the order wrong, I don't like cooked spinach, so I asked for something else, but I got the spinach. And I didn't remember the salmon having so much of the sauce on it, I should have had them put it on the side. Then they accidentally threw my friends leftovers away, after she asked for a to go container. They did replace it, but we felt odd asking them to. I will be back though, it's still a great place. Can't always be perfect.Special Features:
- loved it!kwilson1022Dined on 8/23/2014Fantastic restaurant located in a historic home in downtown Duluth. The food was excellent along with very friendly service. I would highly recommend Park Cafe. Be sure to make a reservation on weekend nights though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- perfect date night spot!annivesaryeatsDined on 8/22/2014my husband surprised me by taking me here. the atmosphere was quiet and candlelit. the restaurant is a quaint old home that is fixed up. lots of character to the surroundings. the food was outstanding - from the appetizer, to the salad, to the entree, to the dessert. well worth the trip! we'll definitely be back.Special Features:
- good not greateatupDined on 8/22/2014We have been here before and it was better. The trout dish was really on the oily side and too much bacon. Yup, it is possible to have too much bacon. The bacon overpowered the fish. The warm pita chips served with any of the dips are outrageous. The service here is always incredibly slow. Make sure you have 2 hours for dinner because it will take that long and that is not having dessert. Also, this is an old building and the AC doesn't work that great. We were HOT. I would go when it is cooler and sit on the porch. Also, the lunch looks more affordable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- really nice dinner.MarinaDined on 8/15/2014We had a really nice dinner. We sat outside which was beautiful except for the Mosquitos - the restaurant needs to spray cutter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StellarpotterynancyDined on 8/9/2014Lunches & Dinners are fantastic time after time. Noise level can be a bit high at time, but that is the nature of the restaurant - converted old home with high ceilings. But that has never caused us to regret our choice. Lovely outside dining as well on the wrap around porch. Quality of food and the service never disappoints. Fantastic wine list. Best if you don't have schedule to keep. The pace is wonderfully leisurely.Special Features:
- Dependable-Great Food and Wine LIstAtlantaGirlDined on 8/8/2014We can always count on getting great food at the Park Cafe and when you bring guests to a dinner spot you don't want to be embarrassed. You will never be embarrassed here. Generous portions and delectable food. Excellent wines but a less notable beer list. Service is great and the waitresses KNOW the dishes, what is in them and how they taste which is great when trying to get a good recommendation. My husband always judges a restaurant by this knowledge and the first thing he asks is - what are your 2 favorite entrees on the menu!! The staff here knows the food and has good recommendations! Thank you for another notable dining experienceSpecial Features:
- Leisurely Lunch with the LadiesPianoLadyDined on 8/8/2014Our group of 4 ladies enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch after shopping in the vicinity. Leisurely...don't be in a hurry, because the service is relaxed! The food was delicious, the outdoor seating had a nice breeze and our server was delightful! He had great recommendations which was necessary because the menu has many excellent choices. We will definitely return to the Park Cafe so we can sample something else on the menu. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. The fries are scrumptious, get the fries - don't be healthy and order fruit.Special Features:
- Choose another placeChelseaDined on 8/6/2014Made a reservation for 3. We were put on the hot patio with all the gnats. Had a 92 yr old in our group!!! Food is acceptable. Inside is very small, crowded, and LOUD. I won't be back unless I eat on the patio in ideal weather...like a perfect fall day.
- Shrimp & GritsOhRyanDined on 8/1/2014I and my friend both got the shrimp and grits... We were expecting creamy grits but instead the grit squares (?) were dry and not enjoyable. I recommend changing the menu to have "creamy" grits.....The shrimp had a bad fishy aftertaste too but didn't notice it til the last few shrimp. That's my only complaint! Good service! Love the atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Park CafebatmanjackDined on 7/30/2014Absolutely wonderful! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere is delightful. We were able to sit outside on the covered patio. The service was flawless. They also have an excellent wine selection. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion. The pricing is very reasonable. The downtown Duluth area is perfect for an after dinner stroll. Definitely a must!Special Features:
- Great, as alwaysGolphin13Dined on 7/30/2014We actually had to wait 10 minutes before the hostess even came to the front (uncharacteristic), but it was another great visit to this restaurant. Food was fantastic, it was a beautiful day to sit outside and look out over the Town Green.Special Features:
- Park Cafe in DuluthlovegoodfoodDined on 7/24/2014Great food, slow service, noise level through the roof. Do not recommend as place for a get to know you lunch. Very hard to hear your dining companions.Special Features:
- Restaurant Week reviewhungrycamelDined on 7/23/2014This was my first time at Park Cafe and I was seated promptly. The appetizer duck confit flatbread was very good but portion was small. The spinach salad appetizer was large in comparison to the flatbread so I would suggest talking to your server if you plan to share an appetizer. The pork tenderloin entree was perfectly prepared and just the right portion. The shrimp pasta was well prepared and delicious and was large enough to have some leftover. Make sure to check with server though since portion sizes do seem to vary here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/17/2014Charming spot in the park, great service and wonderful food. Very nice sitting outside, seemed a littel cramped inside but probably nice on a rainy winter day.

- Great food but service was SLOW...daddymacsgirlDined on 7/12/2014Park Cafe is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always hot and delicious! This evening the service was quite slow and it was almost a half hour before our appetizers arrived. They were worth the wait! As we were outside and it was 8:15pm when we got there (yes, we had reservations), it seemed odd that it took so long to get our food. It was at least 9:30pm before we actually ate our dinner, so next time we'll definitely come earlier!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- harveyDined on 7/11/2014the restaurant is not fancy but the food was very good .We had a great server, Jackie, and had an enjoyable evening The food is overpriced in my opinion e.g. $9.00 for small bowl of soup and $11.00 for fancy fried green tomatos Nevertheless our food was very good and we may return if we have another coupon or restaurant. com certificate

Nice place to celebrate any special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great evening outTarheelGirlDined on 6/20/2014This was our first visit and we completely enjoyed the evening. The food was creatve, fresh, upscale yet completely "comforting". The menu is not overwhelming, which made the whole decision making process easy, but if you are looking for a huge variety this is not the place for you. My husbands risotto was great and my chicken was cooked perfectly! The service was great. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We loved the character and charm of the restaurant. Our only suggestion for improvement is that the wood back chairs were a little uncomfortable. We may try the patio when we return, but we will definitely go back.Special Features:

I would not have ordered slaw as a side if I had known the sandwich came with a small salad - menu could be more detailed about what comes with the sandwiches. Service was good until time to pay and then was very slow. Many people are on their lunch hour so please be more cognoscente of that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lunch at Park CafeJetPilotDined on 5/22/2014Great place to eat lunch. Great menu. Jacqueline (sp?) and Carlos are great servers. I'll keep coming back and will bring my wife to dinner.Special Features:
- Very Lovely and Pricey RestaurantweknowfoodDined on 5/21/2014Having been here many times the food is consistently very good. The prices are a tad the high having recently spent $60+ at lunch for three people and we only just shared a few things. Forget the lunch combo (a cup of soup, a salad, and a half a sandwich for $10). The half a sandwich has literally one bite of the main ingredient (whether it's lamb, chicken, beef, etc.). The salad and soup is nice, though. It is definitely a foodie type of place. The outdoor patio is terrific in the spring or fall and the restaurant has a very intimate feel to it. The seasoned pita chips that are served with the dips are fabulous and addicting. The manager, Tiffany, aims to please, oversees the menu and she is a super chef herself so that is a good thing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local GemSteveDined on 5/17/2014Nice diverse menu. Outstanding, knowledgeable service. A little pricey, but for the atmosphere and quality, a great local buy and good special occasion location. Highly recommended.Special Features:

Carol Moseley Braun is a former (EMILY's List-supported) Senator from Illinois (1992-1998) and former U.S. ambassador to New Zealand (1999-2001).
Early life
Born in 1947, Carol Moseley was raised by a medical technician mother and a "socialist" father who worked as a guard in the Cook County Jail.
She was bused across Chicago to a segregated school and graduated from high school with honors.
While still in high school Carol Moseley staged a one-person sit-in at a restaurant that refused to serve her, succeeded in integrating an all-white beach and marched with Martin Luther King.[1]
Supporting John Lumpkin
In 1978, Braun was a leading member on the Committee to Elect Dr. John R. Lumpkin for the 7th Ward Alderman, Chicago.[2] John Lumpkin was the son of prominent Chicago Communist Party USA leaders Frank Lumpkin and Bea Lumpkin.
Illinois State politics
In 1978 Mosely Braun won election to the Illinois State Legislature.
Moseley Braun became legislative floor leader for then Illinois Congressman Harold Washington and sponsored bills[3]to reform education, to ban discrimination in housing and private clubs and to bar the State of Illinois from investing funds in Apartheid South Africa.
In 1987 Moseley Braun joined Harold Washington's multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and gender-balanced "Dream Ticket" to successfully run for the office of recorder of deeds. Washington died in office shortly after the election.
Committee in Support of Southern Africa
Committee in Support of Southern Africa was an anti-Apartheid group active in Chicago in the early 1980s.
Members of the committee included[4];
Charles Hayes, Rep. Carol Moseley Braun, Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Bob Simpson, Frank Rosen, Congressman Harold Washington, Harold Rogers, Rep. Monica Stewart, Jim Wright, Alderman Danny Davis, Alice Peurala, Lu Palmer, Milt Cohen, Timuel Black.
Salute to Harold Washington
On April 6, 1983, the Hyde Park Herald published an endorsement from the Hyde Park/Kenwood Citizens Committee of Democratic Party Chicago mayoral candidate Harold Washington. Signatories to the endorsement included Carol Moseley Braun.[5]
Communist Party connections
Harold Washington was involved in Communist Party USA front and had been elected as Chicago's mayor in 1983, by a communist/socialist led black/white "liberal"/Latino coalition.
Moseley-Braun was also close to the Communist Party USA.
In November 1979 she was a co-sponsor, with Congressmen Ron Dellums and John Conyers of the founding conference of the Communist Party-led U.S. Peace Council, an affiliate of the Soviet controlled World Peace Council.
As at March, 1982, the published list of U.S. Peace Council sponsors included:[6]
- Canon Frederick B. Williams, president, Council of Churches of Manhattan
- Alden Whitman
- Edith Villastrigo, director, Washington Office, WSP
- Jackie Vaughn, Michigan State Senator
- Fred Stover, U.S. Farmers Association
- Rev. Anthony M. Stevens Arroyo, director, CEMI, Pax Christi
- Dr. Robert J. Schwartz, chairman, New York SANE
- Jack Sangster, Fund for New Priorities in America
- Ruth Messinger, New York City Council
- Maryann Mahaffey, Erma Henderson and Clyde Cleveland, Detroit City Council members
- Dr. L. Charles Gray, vice president, Christian Peace Conference
- Donna Cooper, Washington D.C. Peace Center
- Rep. Carol Moseley Braun, Illinois
- Marjorie Boehm, president, U.S. section, WILPF
Carol Braun, of Chicago, was on a May 2, 1985 mailing list for Chicago Women for Racial and Economic Equality - a front for the Communist Party USA.[7]
In May 17th 1987 Moseley Braun helped sponsor, with Communist Party leaders Angela Davis and Herbert Aptheker, a benefit for elderly Chicago Party leaders Claude Lightfoot and Jack Kling.
On September 7, 1991, more than 300 people gathered at the St James methodist Church on Chicago's South side to remember the life of Communist Party USA national committee member, Claude Lightfoot. Speaker Carol Moseley Braun told of "having been enriched by a dinner converstion with her late father and Lightfoot, which gave her a deeper insight into the struggles of the unemployed in the 1930s."[8].
Party support
While serving as recorder of deeds Moseley-Braun decided to run for United States Senate in the 1992 election on the Democratic Party ticket.
Like her mentor, Harold Washington, Moseley-Braun was supported by the Communist Party USA.
Communist Party USA official Tim Wheeler wrotein Peoples Weekly World on Chicago Party chairman and Save Our Jobs (SOJ)committee leader, Frank Lumpkin and his role in the elections of Harold Washington, Charles Hayes and Carol Moseley Braun[9];
- Lumpkin also led SOJ into independent political action. They played an important role in the election of Harold Washington as mayor of Chicago, a historic victory over the most entrenched, reactionary political machine in the U.S. Bea (Lumpkin's wife) writes that "At that time, Washington and Lumpkin had a special relationship ... Washington seemed to draw strength from Lumpkin's participation. At meetings rallies, street encounters, whatever, Washington would call Frank over and say, 'When I see you, I know things are in good hands."
- SOJ was also an important factor in the election of Charles Hayes, African-American leader of the Meatcutters union, to take the Congressional seat vacated by Washington, and the election of Carol Moseley Braun, the first Black woman to serve in the U.S. Senate.
Supporting communist led steelworkers
The Wisconsin Steel Save Our Jobs Committee was active for 17 years, from 1980 to 1997. How was leader, and Communist Party USA member Frank Lumpkin able to keep SOJ together for so many years?
There were favorable factors that helped. First, Chicago is a union town; the United Steelworkers gave SOJ a home. The Wisconsin Steel workers also had the support of progressive public officials. These included Congressman, and later Mayor, Harold Washington; State Representative, and later U.S. Senator, Carol Moseley Braun; Congressman Gus Savage; State Senator Richard Newhouse; and State Representative Miriam Balanoff, followed by Clem Balanoff Consumer organizations such as Illinois Public Action, and later, Citizen Action of Illinois gave important support. The leftist labor monthly, Labor Today, and its editors Fred Gaboury and Scott Marshall, gave SOJ national coverage.[10]
Chicago school reform
An innovative school reform bill was announced March 18, 1985 by three Chicago legislators, Rep Carol Moseley Braun (D-25)Rep: Al Ronan (D-l2), and Sen. William Marovitz (D-3)' described the Urban School Improvement Act as "the single most important step we can take to solve the Chicago school crisis."
According to an article in the Communist Party USA paper, Daily World, by Mildred Williamson, under the proposed legislation, each local Chicago school must establish a School Improvement Council made up of equal numbers of parents and school staff. This council then develops a three-year plan for improving basic skills instruction, cutting dropout and truancy rates, and improving preparation for further education and for employment.
Schools with a developed plan will be given $100 per student to help them carry their plan out, and they decide how this additional money will be spent.
This bill as well as many other aspects of "building unity for struggle" to improve the schools was discussed at a conference of300 parents and community activists on Saturday, March 16. 1985, The three legislators were present, along with Mayor, Harold Washington, who gave the morning address.
The conference was called by Schoolwatch, a parent organization sponsored by Designs For Change, a Chicago-based research and children's advocacy group.
The Schoolwatch conference was held at Whitney Young High School on Chicago's West Side, The primary purpose of the conference was to acquaint parents with their rights in the Chicago Public School System, and prepare them "to struggle for much, needed improvements."
Dr. Donald Moore, executive director of Designs For Change, explained why they have strongly recommended this program.
"Independent evaluations show that it, has brought major improvements in California schools. Because of its success, the program has been extremely popular. Groups ranging from the California' Parent Teacher Association to California's American Federation of Teachers have lobbied for the program from the beginning and want it expanded".[11]
Committees of Correspondence support
In 1991, the Communist Party USA split, many Chicago Party members and other socialists joining forces to found a new organization, the Committees of Correspondence. One CoC and Democratic Socialists of America member Timuel Black, Professor (emeritus) City College of Chicago, was a long time friend and supporter Moseley-Braun.
One lifelong Communist Party member to join the CoC was the late Chicago activist[12] Hannah Cohen.
- Hannah was active in Chicago, in what became a lifetime of political and electoral activism. Throughout the new upsurge of the 60s, 70s and 80s, Hannah was an active participant. She was active in teachers union, peace and community groups in Chicago, and later in the international campaign that won the freedom for Angela Davis.
- Hannah became a community volunteer in the mayoral campaigns of Harold Washington, and was one of the key volunteers in the election campaign of Carol Moseley Braun, the first African American woman elected to the United States Senate.
Socialist support
Chicago was also home to an alliance of remnants of the Socialist Party USA and former Trotskyite and communist activists. This group held an annual dinner, to mark the the birthday of legendary U.S. socialists Norman Thomas and Eugene Debs.
Democratic Illinois State legislator Robert Mann was closely associated[13]with this group.
When Mann stood down in 1978, the socialists looked around[14]for a successor.
- When former Rep. Robert Mann, one of the House's most staunch veteran liberals, announced his retirement from the House, Braun was asked to consider running for his seat.
Carol Braun was then elected to the Illinois State Legislature, with socialist support.
Democratic Socialists of America
In 1982-3 the Chicago socialists involved in the annual Thomas-Debs Dinner joined with members of the New American Movement to form the Chicago branch of a new organization, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
DSA infiltrated the Chicago Democratic Party and was to play a role in electing Chicago's mayor, Harold Washington and in furthering the careers of Carol Moseley Braun and later Barack Obama.
In 1992 Carol Moseley-Braun was persuaded to run for the U.S. Senate.
One woman, Democratic Socialists of America member and long time Chicago Democratic Party activist, Sue Purrington played a role in Moseley Braun's decision.[15]
- The 34th Annual Dinner was held on May 1, 1992 at the Congress Hotel in Chicago. The Master of Ceremonies was Michael Lighty, who was then the Executive Director of DSA. Sue Purrington, the Executive Director of Chicago NOW, and Dr. Quentin Young, President of Physicians for a National Health Program, were the honorees. The featured speaker was Jose LaLuz, who was the National Education Director of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union.
Like Michael Lighty, Quentin Young and Jose LaLuz were also DSA members.
- Sue Purrington-We honor you as a career fighter for women's rights and equality...
- You were instrumental in persuading Carol Moseley Braun to start her campaign to become Senator from Illinois then you produced votes to back up your pledge of support.
Another DSA linked activist[16]associated with Carol Moseley-Braun was Milt Cohen.
- In 1982, Rep. Harold Washington issued a challenge to register 50,000 new voters in preparation for the coming mayoral election. Milt helped organize a grassroots movement which met the challenge by more than double. Later he chaired the Chicago Coalition for Voter Registration.
- Milt joined the 1983 Washington campaign full-time. He later said that hard-won victory was his greatest satisfaction. The Washington movement clearly reflected Milt's long-time priorities: anti-racism, political independence, and progressive multi-racial coalitions.
- A few months after his election, Washington issued a proclamation declaring Milton M. Cohen Day a day for Chicagoans to honor a man "who has dedicated his life to the unceasing struggle for the civil and economic rights of all people and has worked for 50 years in the cause of progressive change and reform politics in Chicago and a more democratic, humane and peaceful America and world." Mayor Washington noted that to honor Milt Cohen is to honor "thousands of rank-and-file activists who work day and night in the struggle for jobs, justice, and peace."
- Carol Moseley Braun's election to the Senate in 1992 was another landmark for Milt. He had helped recruit Braun for her first legislative race in 1978, and one of his last projects before leaving Chicago was soliciting DSA members to participate in the Braun campaign.
DSA campaigners
Chicago DSA put a big effort[17]into Carol Moseley Braun's successful 1992 Senate campaign, with Jeremy Karpatkin playing a significant role;
- Progressive forces in Illinois made history November 3 by electing Carol Moseley Braun as the first African-American woman to the U.S. Senate.
- Braun beat beat Republican millionaire Rich Williamson soundly, 57%-43%. Former DSA Youth Organizer Jeremy Karpatkin directed Braun's field operations. Chicago DSA contributed volunteers and money to Braun's campaign.
According to DSA's Democratic Left, July/August 1992, page 10;
- Chicago DSA members are working on the Carol Moseley Braun campaign for US Senate.
Heather Booth and Kgosi Matthews
During her 1992 Senate race Moseley Braun's campaign manager was former Rainbow Coalition activist Kgosi Matthews. Her political director was Heather Booth.[18]
Saul Mendelson's funeral
The Memorial Service for Chicago Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member Saul Mendelson was held on Sunday, March 29, 1998, at the First Unitarian Church, Chicago[19].
The service was MC'd by a retired colleague, Bob Clark. Carl Shier of DSA, spoke first and was followed by Saul's friend Deborah Meier, "a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient who is now starting a new school in Boston". Amy Isaacs, National Director of the Americans for Democratic Action, spoke of what "Saul had meant on foreign affairs to the ADA".
Other speakers included Communist Party USA aligned Senator Carol Moseley Braun, Alderman Toni Preckwinkle, State SenatorBarack Obama, Illinois House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and "a good friend from New York", Myra Russell.
The concluding remarks were made by an old friend, Harriet Lefley, a former Trotskyist with Saul Mendelson in the 1940s, who was then Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami Medical School.
Eulogies also came from Quinn Brisben, (Socialist Party USA presidential candidate 1976, 1992) and David McReynolds (Socialist Party USA presidential candidate 1980, 2000).
Both Brisben and McReynolds are also members of Democratic Socialists of America.
Cuban Humanitarian Trade Act
The Cuban Humanitarian Trade Act, a bill introduced in 1998, in the U.S. Congress, would ease some restrictions on trade with socialist Cuba, solidarity activists say.
The legislation would lift sanctions on sales and donations of food, medicines and medical supplies to Cuba.
While it falls far short of ending the illegal U.S. blockade, the legislation does meet an important Cuban requirement. It says that trade is an appropriate relationship between the two countries.
The 37-year U.S. blockade has meant great hardship for Cuba's 11 million people. President Fidel Castro said in July that "We contend that the economic blockade should be considered among the main war crimes committed against a people."
The Cuban Humanitarian Trade Act has 129 sponsors in the House and 25 in the Senate. It is supported by members of the Congressional Black and Latino Caucuses, including Sen. Carol Moseley Braun and Reps. Maxine Waters, Nydia Velasquez and Charles Rangel.
IFCO/Pastors for Peace, organizers of the U.S.-Cuba Friendshipment caravans, testified on behalf of the legislation in May.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Wheat Association, the Medical Devices Manufacturers and other business groups also testified in favor of easing the blockade.[20]
Supported by Council for a Livable World
The Council for a Livable World, founded in 1962 by long-time socialist activist and alleged Soviet agent, Leo Szilard, is a non-profit advocacy organization that seeks to "reduce the danger of nuclear weapons and increase national security", primarily through supporting progressive, congressional candidates who support their policies. The Council supported Carol Moseley Braun in her successful Senate run as candidate for Illinois.[21]
Borosage on Board
Institute for Policy Studies leader Robert Borosage has served as an issues adviser to several progressive political campaigns, including those of Senators Carol Moseley Braun, Barbara Boxer and Paul Wellstone. In 1988, he was Senior Issues Advisor to the presidential campaign of Reverend Jesse Jackson.[22]
2011 Chicago mayoralty bid
In November 2010, Moseley Braun announced she will be running in the Chicago mayoral election, 2011. The city's incumbent mayor, Richard M. Daley, will not be seeking re-election.
21st Century Democrats support
21st Century Democrats is a Political Action Committee that has stood for Progressive causes for over 20 years. Founded in 1986 by Institute for Policy Studies affiliate, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, Democratic Socialists of America affiliates, former Texas Agriculture Secretary Jim Hightower, and former Illinois Congressman Lane Evans. Its three main goals are to help elect progressive candidates, train young people about grassroots organizing, and lastly, to continue to support our elected officials after Election Day "through our comprehensive progressive network".
Long time Board chair was Democratic Socialists of America member Jim Scheibel, a former Mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The mission of 21st Century Democrats is to build a "farm team" of progressive populists who will be the future leaders of the Democratic Party.
- In each election cycle, we endorse a diverse array of candidates who exemplify our values and show unusual promise to advance our progressive goals. We invest in some of the most competitive races as well as in some of the most challenging – those in which the candidates are outstanding but the traditional Democratic supporters are most reticent. We back candidates in primaries as well as general election races, and we focus the bulk of our resources on electing challengers and protecting vulnerable incumbents.[23]
Moseley Braun was endorsed by 21st Century Democrats in the 199 election cycle, during unsuccessful US Senate run.[24]
In 2013, she served on the organizations Advisory Board.

The Oakland Raiders and safety Tyvon Branch agreed to a four-year deal just days before the Monday deadline to sign franchised players to long-term contract extensions. Jason LaCanfora of CBSSports.com reported the news on Saturday morning. The Raiders have yet to announce the deal.
As filed to @CBSSports.com, Raiders S Tyvon Branch agrees to 4 yr deal with team, getting off the franchise tag. Deal to be finalized today— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) July 14, 2012
The Raiders used the franchise tag on Branch this spring. He signed the tender on May 7, after initially stating that he would not. Under the franchise tag, Branch was due to make $6.2 million on a one-year deal.
NFL.com reported that Branch's new deal was worth $26.6 million, with $17.1 million guaranteed.
A fourth-round pick in 2008, Branch has developed into one of Oakland's top defensive players. He led the team with a total of 109 tackles and assists last season.

Apple kills off 15-inch MacBook Pro with optical drive, but 13-inch model remains
Ever since Apple announced its first Retina display MacBooks last year we've been expecting the death of the company's last-generation MacBook Pros. It appears that day has finally come, but there's a notable exception. Apple has largely axed its entire line of MacBook Pros with DVD drives, but one model does remain: the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is still available on Apple's website starting at $1,199. That's the same price it's sold for during the past year, and the model has identical specs — Apple hasn't given the old laptop Intel's latest Haswell processors.
Apple's decision to keep the outdated laptop on shelves while killing off the 15-inch model is an intriguing choice. Notably, Apple isn't even promoting the laptop on its website: the MacBook Pro product page only shows the new Retina models — you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and click "other models" to see the specifications for the older laptop. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with a DVD drive is well-known as a popular machine for high school students and incoming college freshmen, so it's possible Apple is keeping the model around for education users.
With the model lineup shuffle today, the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains the only Mac available today with an optical drive. Apple has committed to removing optical drives from all of its Macs over the years, but it's possible that the company realized some — particularly students — may still need a DVD drive. Either way, it's very difficult to recommend this laptop. It starts at $100 more than the fantastic 13-inch MacBook Air and it doesn't offer any appreciable performance increase. It's also only $100 less than the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, which is a far more modern and powerful laptop. In 2013 there's little reason for an optical drive in a Mac, but if you truly need one, you're better off buying an external accessory to handle the few times you'll need to use a disc.

When it comes to your health, your teeth are one of your most important assets. Proper oral hygiene can help them stay healthy, strong and free from cavities. Here are some of the top oral health-care tips that you can use to protect your smile:
Find a good dental office that offers a variety of services that suit your need. To do this use google or other search engines and simply find dental offices in your area. An example for my area I search, dentist Mississauga, and see which offices come up in the area and the reviews people have posted about and make the decision based on that.
Brush twice a day. Regular brushing is one of the most important things you can do to promote good oral health. Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles that won't damage or irritate your gums. Alternate between gentle circle motions and short up-and-down strokes to remove as much plaque as possible.
Consider investing in an electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes provide superior cleaning power when compared to manual toothbrushes. They vibrate a high rate of speed, which helps eliminate plaque in hard-to-reach places like between your teeth and along your gum line.
Don't brush right after eating acidic food. Naturally occurring acids found in foods such as oranges and tomatoes can weaken the enamel on your teeth, leaving it prone to damage if you brush too soon after eating. Try to allow 30 minutes to pass before brushing your teeth after an acidic meal. You may also want to consider chewing sugar free gum after meals. The gum promotes salivation, which can help wash away bacteria and balance the pH of your mouth.
Floss your teeth once a day. Flossing can help prevent cavities from forming between your teeth by removing plaque that your toothbrush can't reach. To floss, tear off a generous length of dental floss. Gently work it between the teeth by wiggling it back and forth. Avoid pulling up sharply to force it between the teeth as this can cause the floss to snap up into your gums. If you find flossing difficult, you may want to look into flossing aids such as dental picks or floss holders.
Visit your dentist twice a year. Biannual dental visits can help keep your teeth clean and catch any cavities while they are still small. It is far better to discover a cavity while it is small enough for a filling rather than waiting until it needs a full-blown root canal. Not only will regular visits help prevent unnecessary pain, but they can also save you money by limiting the number of high-cost dental procedures you need over the course of your life.
Good oral health-care is an important part of maintaining your overall health. By using these simple tips, you can keep your teeth healthy and cavity-free.Read More

Small improvement for Schumacher after 2nd surgery

Michael Schumacher (AP Photo/Itsuo Inouye, file)
GRENOBLE, France (AP) -- Doctors treating Michael Schumacher say the Formula 1 champion was showing surprising improvement that allowed a second surgery for head injuries he suffered during a ski accident, but cautioned that his brain still had extensive bruising.
Schumacher was skiing with his son when he fell and struck a rock Sunday in the French Alps.
"There are hematomes a little bit everywhere," said Dr. Emmanuel Gay, describing the extensive bruising throughout Schumacher's brain. But Gay said surgeons decided upon a second operation after Schumacher's unexpected, though small, improvement on Monday.
They offered no predictions Tuesday on whether or when they would bring him out of an induced coma, intended to relieve swelling.
"We cannot tell you any more on the future," said Gerard Saillant, a surgeon and friend of the family.
The German driver was skiing with his son Sunday morning in the French Alpine resort of Meribel when he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock. He was wearing a helmet, but doctors said it was not enough to prevent a serious brain injury.
Gerard Saillant, a trauma surgeon who operated on Schumacher when he broke his leg in a 1999 race crash, was at the hospital as a visitor. He told reporters that Schumacher's age -- he turns 45 on Jan. 3 -- and his fitness should work in his favor.
The neurology team at Grenoble University Hospital is recognized as among the best in France and the hospital, in a city that is the gateway to the French Alps, sees a large number of skiing accidents every year.
He also suffered serious neck and spine injuries after a motorcycling accident in February 2009 in Spain.
The area where Schumacher was skiing is part of a web of trails that slice down through a vast and, in parts, very steep snowfield. Although challenging, the snowfield is not extreme skiing. The runs are broad and neatly tended, and the ungroomed area in between, known as off-piste -- where the resort said Schumacher was found -- is free of trees.
The resort said Schumacher was conscious when first responders arrived, although agitated and in shock. But Payen said Monday that after the fall Schumacher was not in a "normal state of consciousness." He was not responding to questions and his limbs appeared to be moving involuntarily.
"The family is not doing very well obviously. They are shocked," said his manager Sabine Kehm, who added that the family still appreciated the outpouring of support.
As news of the accident spread, Formula One drivers and fans rushed to wish Schumacher a quick recovery.
"Like millions of Germans, the chancellor and members of the government were extremely dismayed when they heard about Michael Schumacher's serious skiing accident," German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said in Berlin.
Sebastian Vettel, for whom Schumacher was a boyhood idol, told German news agency dpa: "I am shocked and hope that he will get better as soon as possible."
Ferrari, which Schumacher raced for, expressed its concern in a statement.
"Everyone at Ferrari has been in a state of anxiety since hearing about Michael Schumacher's accident," it said, adding that company president, Luca di Montezemolo, and race team leader, Stefano Domenicali, were in contact with the family.
British former world champion Jenson Button said posted that his "thoughts are with Michael Schumacher at this tough time. ... Michael more than anyone has the strength to pull through this."
During his career, Schumacher won seven drivers' championships and 91 race wins. After initial success with the Benetton team, Schumacher moved to Ferrari and helped turn the Italian team into the sport's dominant force. After initially retiring in 2006, he made a comeback in 2010 and raced for three years with Mercedes.
DiLorenzo reported from Paris. Lori Hinnant in Paris, Geir Moulson in Berlin and AP Sports Writer John Leicester in Super-Besse, France, contributed to this report.

You're reviewing the situation,
But your comments are really quite absurd
You're reviewing the situation,
But you don't understand the written word,
You give your expert point of view,
When you have really not a clue,
You have nothing better to do,
Cos when you speak, mistake what's true,
And now I give you what is due,
'I don't think very much of you',
Perhaps you ought to think it out again!
You're reviewing the situation,
Do you even own a damned dictionary?
You're reviewing the situation,
You'd be better at playing Pictionary
Before you choose to criticise,
I really think it would be wise,
To help you out of your demise,
Consider one or two new buys,
Thesaurus which you should revise,
Before you poke me in the eyes,
To help you usefully summarise,
Your work is really not that great my mate!
You're reviewing the situation,
You didn't even know the word 'abhor',
You are reviewing the situation,
You thought I meant to use the word 'adore'
And you admitted this to me,
Agreed should look at dictionary,
But you were simply too lazy,
You failed me quite abysmally,
When marked me so miserably,
And now you show quite visibly,
You have a disability,
I think you need to educate yourself!
You're reviewing the situation,
Made me over-think how I must write,
You're reviewing the situation,
Your reviewing makes me reply in spite,
You have shown me your short sight
And shown need for black and white,
To avoid others ignorant might,
Enforcing me to be quite trite,
Which makes me a little uptight,
I like to get my wording right,
Already pretty tricky plight,
Please think before you sink with cyber-sting!
You're reviewing the situation,
If you don't like what you are seeing here,
You're reviewing the situation,
Maybe it's just best you disappear,
Please do not kick me up the rear,
Or sling at me an ice cold beer,
Or prod me with a rusty spear,
Or bully me with extra fear,
Compose more words to simply sear
I trust message is crystal clear,
If not, just move to next one dear,
I think you'd better think it out again!

You can save more energy by conservation than you produce for the same money
The speaker is saying that it is more economical to conserve energy than it is to produce it.
If you spend $100 on conserving energy, you will have more energy than you would if you spent $100 on producing energy.
Hope that helps.

Charles Barkley Critical of Jordan
Well, it looks like a far more experienced and knowledgable basketball mind than any of us has spoken, and the results are not good. The money quote: "I think the biggest problem has been I don't know if he has hired enough people around him who he will listen to. I don't think Michael has hired enough people around him who will disagree. I love Michael, but he just has not done a good job. Even though he is one of my great friends, I can't get on here and tell you he's done a great job. He has not done a great job, plain and simple." Further insights follow about Jordan's decision to draft Adam Morrison.

View Video of News Conference Introducing ODU's New Athletic Director
ODU President John R. Broderick introduced the University's new athletic director Camden Wood Selig in a news conference today. Click here to view video of the news conference.
Selig, the former athletic director at Western Kentucky University, was named the new director of athletics for Old Dominion University by President John R. Broderick on Feb. 19. He succeeds retiring athletic director Jim Jarrett.
A native of Norfolk, Selig (pronounced SEE-lig) has spent the past 11 years directing the Hilltopper program, which has won 65 Sun Belt Conference championships since 2000 and a national- record 19 crowns over the past two years. He was a key figure in garnering support for the WKU football program's move from NCAA Division I-AA to I-A in 2007, and he spearheaded more than $100 million in new construction and renovations of Hilltopper facilities.
"Our athletic program, under Jim Jarrett, has enjoyed incredible success over the last decades," noted Broderick "The appointment of Dr. Selig ensures that we will not only maintain that success, but also provide our program with the direction it needs to continue to grow and prosper. His experience as a strong fundraiser, along with his personnel and business leadership abilities and his background in sales and marketing, made him a solid choice for our search committee.
"I would like to thank the committee members for their time and effort in conducting a successful search that ultimately recommended Dr. Selig."
Selig's appointment concludes a several-months-long national process by the search committee, chaired by Vice President of Development Alonzo Brandon. Committee members included: President Emeritus and Board of Visitors Professor of Economics James V. Koch, Board of Visitors members Marc Jacobson and Barry Kornblau, Intercollegiate Foundation trustee Carlton Bennett, Vice President for Human Resources Glenda Humphreys, NCAA Faculty Representative Janis Sanchez-Hucles and Senior Associate Athletic Director Debbie White.
Prior to arriving at WKU, Selig spent 11 years at the University of Virginia, the last five as associate athletics director for external operations. He began his athletics career in 1985 at Virginia Commonwealth University as an assistant athletic director and director of ticket operations. A graduate of Norfolk Collegiate School, Selig grew up in Norfolk less than a half mile from the ODU campus.
"My family and I cannot wait to join the Old Dominion family and play an active role in the continual and rapid transformation of the university and ODU athletics," said Selig. "We sincerely thank President Broderick and the many members of the search committee for the confidence they have shown in me via this appointment."
Since his arrival on the WKU campus, the Hilltoppers have been a mainstay atop the Vic Bubas standings, which ranks the Sun Belt schools based on their finish in the conference's 19 sports. WKU has claimed four Bubas Cups (2002, 2003, 2006 and 2008) and finished no less than second over the last eight years. The Hilltoppers have also won more individual Sun Belt academic honors than any other league school over the last five years, and every men's and women's athletic team currently exceeds the NCAA-required 925 Academic Progress Rate.
Under Selig's leadership, the WKU athletic budget grew from $5.6 million in 1999-2000 to more than $18.5 million in 2009-10. He has directed fundraising projects that have resulted in a $5 million naming rights gift, eight endowed scholarships for women's basketball and four consecutive annual fund drives exceeding $1 million each. Private giving to athletics grew to more than $2 million per year during his tenure.
Capital projects for facilities under Selig's watch included a $50 million football stadium renovation and expansion, a $33 million renovation to the basketball arena, $3 million in baseball facility renovations, $2.5 million toward a track and field complex and the opening of a Student Athlete Success Center, featuring computer labs, breakout rooms and study areas for WKU student athletes.
"In recent years, while tracking ODU athletics from hundreds of miles away, I could literally feel the excitement and energy level surrounding it reach an entirely different plateau with the introduction of football," Selig said. "This heightened level of energy and support surrounding ODU athletics was very appealing to me personally and professionally. Coupled with the numerous nationally recognized men's and women's intercollegiate athletic programs, the future for ODU athletics is exceptionally vibrant. I look forward to building upon what Jim Jarrett and the thousands of successful coaches and student-athletes representing ODU over the decades have established as a rock-solid foundation for our future at ODU."
Selig is a current member of the NCAA Women's Basketball Committee and has served as chair for both the Sun Belt Conference Athletic Directors and the Men's Basketball Committees during his tenure at WKU. He earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Washington and Lee University, a master's in sports administration from Ohio University and a doctorate in education leadership from the University of Virginia.
Selig will receive a three-year contract with ODU, and an annual salary of $250,000, beginning June 10.
Selig and his wife, Ellen, have three children, Lex, 12, Nick, 10, and Julianna, 6.

Pelican Bay SHU representatives respond to CDCR's proposed gang management strategy
by Todd Ashker, Arturo Castellanos, Sitawa Jamaa (s/n R.N. Dewberry) and Antonio Guillen
1) Prisoners designated Security Threat Group Members (STG-1) – e.g., the majority of those presently in PBSP SHU Short Corridor – will not receive any meaningful, substantive change to their current indefinite isolation status. Our status quo will remain the same as it has been for the past 25 years. (See the proposal at page 7 under the definition of sanctioned "Criminal Gang Behavior," page 25 in the middle of the last paragraph, and page 36 at the second paragraph.) Remember, many of us have been held in the torturous conditions of isolative sensory deprivation for 25-plus years and counting.
2) The proposal requires STG-1 members to remain in SHU for a minimum of an additional one to four years, in spite of five to 25 years of zero serious rule violation offenses! This is NOT in accordance with our Core Demands Nos. 1-3 regarding realistic individual accountability and an end to long term isolation etc. (Reference our Core Demands online as well as the points in No. 1 above and the CDCR proposal on page 39 in the top paragraph.)
3) The proposal is typically full of CDCR Office of Correctional Safety (OCS) propaganda, such as references to the "worst of the worst" etc. – e.g., "CDCR manages arguably the most violent and sophisticated gang members and associates in the nation." (See the first paragraph on page 5 of the proposal.) The proposal implies that although CDCR's gang policies have been successful for the past 25 years, they recognize a need to change some things. (See the fourth paragraph on page 5.)
While CDCR's OCS staff may pat themselves on the back claiming their policies of torturous human rights violations for 25 years are a success, the facts prove otherwise – examples being the so called rehabilitated debriefers who simply went out and either got assaulted or formed new gangs – or both – all over CDCR sensitive needs yards (SNYs). (See the proposal at page 13, at STG-II, re SNY gangs.)
Also, don't forget to consider all the families of these successful debriefers who've had to relocate and live in fear of reprisal, based on the debriefers' self-serving actions. It's doubtful they'll agree with the CDCR-OCS view of success.
We will be presenting our counter-proposal soon. The struggle continues. Our resolve is solid and focused on our collective efforts to force real change of substance.
Send our brothers some love and light: Todd Ashker, C-58191, PBSP SHU, D1-119, P.O. Box 7500, Crescent City CA 95532, and Sitawa Jamaa (s/n R.N. Dewberry), C-35671, PBSP SHU, D1-117L, P.O. Box 7500, Crescent City CA 95532. Arturo Castellanos and Antonio Guillen are not allowed any mail; that's an issue that should be raised with CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate. This letter was transcribed by Kendra Castaneda.

Great article! I spent 10 years in California prisons on drug charges. Imagine during the 1960's when it was okay to experiment with drugs. If we had the same laws we do now with the drug war, half the current politicians we have now would be in prison. I wrote Underdog to show the public that tough on crime platforms only breed bigger criminals.↓
Hurrah! After all I got a website from where I be capable of
truly get valuable facts regarding my study and knowledge.↓

The Bread and Puppet Museum in Glover announces its thirty-ninth year with a festive open house on Sunday, June 8, from 2 to 5 p.m.
The official season runs from June 1 to November 1. The Northeast Kingdom Shape Note Singers will greet guests with traditional Sacred Harp songs near the outdoor clay bread oven, followed by the ceremonial waking up of the museum guard and opening of the museum door. On the second floor of the museum, poet and neighbor Burt Porter and Sophia Cannizzaro will fiddle and strum lively country tunes. Elsewhere on the grounds, guest artists from the area — Modern Times Theater, Clare Dolan, Geoff Goodhue and Ben Matchstick — will perform short pieces and music. Throughout the day, slices of sourdough rye bread with aioli will be served.
The second year of the Woodshed Gallery will kick off with an exhibit of paintings by Max Schumann. Mr. Schumann was one of the earliest converts to the theory of "cheap art," which emerged at Bread and Puppet in the early 1980s. The museum houses countless inanimate creatures of every ilk, and the new reading corner features over- and under-sized artists' books. In the museum store, visitors will find the 2015 calendar, and the cheap art bus, found across Route 122, will be crammed full of pictures and booklets by puppeteers.
The afternoon ends at 4 p.m. with a new work performed by the Bread and Puppet Theater Company in the Dirt Floor Theater. Following all events, there will be a community volunteer meeting in the backyard, open to all, to discuss this summer's events and volunteer opportunities.
Bread and Puppet also announces its Vermont tour in May of "Birdcatcher in Hell," a revival of the historic 1971 show created at Goddard College in Plainfield with members of the original cast.
The Bread and Puppet Museum is now open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., until November 1.
For more information about the event, the theater, museum, or upcoming tours, go to www.breadandpuppet.org, or call 525-3031. — from Bread and Puppet.

Each week throughout the season, PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush hooks up with a personality who has connections with the Packers and asks him five Packer-related questions. This week Dan connects with Packers legend Jerry Kramer.
1. Of all the shortcomings the Packers displayed in their first loss of the season last Sunday in Kansas City, which one concerns you the most?
Kramer: It would probably have to be the question marks on the offensive line. We are predominantly a passing team, and if we can't take care of our man Aaron Rodgers, we are in big trouble.
2. How much would it help getting OLT Chad Clifton back into the starting lineup?
Kramer: It would be just wonderful if he was ready to play. I don't know the status of his situation. He would sure fill the bill. You would like to see him get some time to work into shape and get ready for the playoffs. If he's not ready, that's worrisome.
3. How worried are you about the Bears possibly following in the Chiefs' footsteps?
Kramer: There's always that undefinable measure that the Chiefs showed. I think that probably 15 games out of 16, the Packers beat the Chiefs. But the hunger to win is so hard to judge. You don't think the Bears would want to do everything they could to beat the Packers? If this next game isn't the typical knock-down, drag-out fight these two teams always have, I'll walk to Lambeau and clean the stadium.
4. Will you be at the game on Christmas night?
Kramer: Actually, I'll be in good old Boise, absolutely glued to the tube. I just love Bears-Packers games! It's going to be another dogfight.
5. If the Packers win Sunday and clinch home-field advantage through the playoffs, would you rest Aaron Rodgers in Week 17?
Kramer: I don't like to disrupt things. I don't like the idea of sitting a guy and having him possibly not be sharp when he comes back. I didn't like sitting myself at all, and I kind of doubt that Aaron would want to sit. It will be interesting, though. It comes down to a personal decision for the management. What I have liked so much about this year's Packers is that time after time, they came away thinking they could have played every game a little bit better. I find that very encouraging. I wouldn't rest Aaron. If they get home field through the playoffs, he'll get a bye anyway.
