Printed below is the text from Cooperstown Board of Education President , Dr. David Borgstrom's address to students in grades 7-12 on Thursday, January 24, 2013.
Student Assembly Address, January 24, 2013
Times are changing. Our culture continues to evolve.
Some of you were first hand witnesses to the second inauguration of the first African-American President in our nation's history.
Locally, we have been through much in the last four years. CCS has made significant efforts to recognize change, diversity, cultural sensitivity, character and leadership.
There have been presentations from SUCO, an Anti-Defamation League Presentation "A World of Difference", Dignity for All Students, faculty development, a conversation Helen Sperling and her reflections as a Holocaust Survivor, the wonderful Habitudes presentation you just had, and many more to come.
It has troubled me for some time that we recognize the importance of this character education, make a commitment to it, and espouse a need for cultural sensitivity, while supporting a school nickname that is the antithesis of this philosophy. What would the Board ofEducation response be, if ever asked to justify our commitment to cultural sensitivity education and the nickname "Redskins?" If any of you came before the Board and asked this of us, I would have no reasonable response.
In April of 2001, Richard Mills, Commissioner of the New York State Education Department, informed school officials throughout New York State that the "use of Native American names, symbols, and mascots is such a significant issue that it is being looked at in other states, in professional sports, at the collegiate level, as well as at the local level in some New York school districts."
He called upon school officials to notify their communities of this issue by charging them - "We have an obligation to inform communities so that they might come to understand the pain, however unintentionally inflicted, these symbols cause." He asked school district administrators to lead their communities "in a discussion of the right path to take."
It was addressed in this community 11 years ago without any action taken. Cultures evolve and change, as must ours.
Recently, several students came forward to relate specific conversations with people unfamiliar with our school. When the issue of school mascot nickname came up, they felt uncomfortable and embarrassed about the issue.
I am convinced the time has come to make a change. We cannot continue on a path of recognizing the importance of diversity education, and cultural sensitivity and continue to be called the "Redskins."
This issue is a Board of Education responsibility. We cannot continue to turn our backs on this topic. This is NOT an administration responsibility. This is NOT a student body responsibility.
I have brought this forward to the Board of Education, as an issue we must address now. There is much on our plate already this spring with ever increasing fiscal concerns, but we can no longerignore this issue and put this off into the future for others to address.
Precedent is important, history is important, community ties are important, but in the context of today, they may have a different importance.
Research done in 2001 suggested the name "Redskins" dates to the mid 1920s. Some have suggested it relates to "Red" Bursey. It seems to predate his influence. If the name was a reference to native people, it was surely done to honor them. I respect that. Further, I recognize the history of the school and the emotional ties to the name "Redskins". The issue is not so much the origins of the name, who it may have honored, or the various visions and emotions it may stir up. What is at hand is how it reflects Cooperstown Central School culture and philosophy of education.
I have asked the CCS Student Council to help the Board come up with several alternative nicknames. With input from the student body, the Board of Education will then act, to make an appropriate change.
CCS Mascot Ballot
The following is a list of new mascot names proposed by the High School Student Council. Please rank your top three choices from 1 to 3, with 1 being your top choice. Note that you are only voting for a mascot name. School colors and the emblem/logo will remain the same.
Student Council will tally all votes from the school community and present their findings to the Board of Education.
You may write-in your own suggestion on the "other" line. If you feel that the current nickname of "Redskins" is appropriate, please indicate your choice on the write-in line. In each of these cases, please be sure to include them in your 1 to 3 ranking.
_______ Coyotes
_______ Deerslayers
_______ Hawkeyes
_______ Hawks
_______ Hunters
_______ Leatherstockings
_______ Pathfinders
_______ Pioneers
_______ Redhawks
_______ Wolves

A - Pours honey orange with a nice haze. Nice white head which quickly faded. Good lacing down the glass.
S - Orange, spice, a bit of sweetness and floral.
T - Slightly acidic at first then turns into sweetness (almost a little too sweet). Orange and spice quickly follow through. Once your tongue gets used to the sweetness, it becomes a little watery.
M - Light mouth feel with medium carbonation. Smooth and creamy. Very little detectable alcohol.
O - Very interesting beer. Maybe a touch too sweet, but overall a very nice drinkable beer. Good change of pace and will keep this in the fridge for the summer when it's hot outside.

Bottle marked 3/14/11 so it is a bit old.
Pours to a fine creamy white head that laces gently and easily down the glass. Classic whitish yellow hazy color. Aroma is wheat, coriander and muted orange. Flavor is a nice blend of tangy citrus and spicy coriander on the tip of the tongue with enough malt and wheat to balance. Mouthfeel is light, yet creamy and refreshing. Overall this version does not have the complexity of the Austin original but it has some redeeming qualities.

12 oz. bottle,
A: Pours a translucent yellow with a firm white head. Good retention leaving very nice lace.'
S: Oranges and pastry. Wheaty and flowery.
T: Classic unmalted wheat flavour with a fair bit more coriander than I got in the nose. Some orange throughout, well balanced, hint of hops.
M: Light to medium-bodied, crisp. Very creamy.
O: Quite a good wibier, glad I finally got to try the legendary Celis.

Poured from the bottle into a Hoegarden style glass.
Appearance is pretty decent. Head is tight bubbled with a real small bubbled foamy white head. Body is a typical cloudy lemon yellow and gray, but the head leaves some minimal lacing and a decent puck throughout drinking.
Nose is distinctly buttery with a small wheat chew fairly pleasant but sort of faulty.
Taste is chewy sweet with a sugar sense. Palate texture feels solid and fine, but grain and wheat angle seems a bit burried. Citrus angle seems strangely artificial if not totally non existent.
Overall a mild buttery but also overly sweet Witbier that is missing wheat backbone and a citrus angle.

A-pours a hazy straw/yellow color with a white head with good retention settles into a thin lace around the glass
S-lemon,spice(coriander?), hay, low to medium hop aroma
T-similar to the aroma, with lemon and spice but a really nice malt flavor as well. It's not heavy or overbearing but it definitely pronounced. It's almost like a nice creamy oat flavor.
M-light-medium bodied, good amount of carbonation
O-great brew. I really liked the creaminess and amount of flavors in this beer while still keeping the body light and refreshing. None of the flavors outpowered the other and instead had a nice transition between each.

Grabbed a 6 pack of this at One for the Road in Wexford, PA, a few weeks back...
This didn't last long, but I managed to save the final bottle for review. This 12 ounce bottle has no freshness date, alas. Nevertheless, into my lovely Tripel Karmeliet glass it goes!
A. Purty! Huge, 3 inch white head is quite foamy and dies quick, leaving tons of succulent looking white lace... could hardly ask for better. The beer itself is a mildly unfiltered dull, bubbly yellow.
S. Bold. Really reminds me of La Fin Du Monde, minus that Unibroue yeast... loads of wheat, lemon, coriander, crisp honey-apple sweetness and just a hint of pepper. Classic and tight, nothing wrong here at all. Maybe a touch too sharp? But that's quibbling.
F. Classic Witbier here - honestly one of the best I've had from any country. Starts off thin (refreshing) and crisp, but not too sharp - the wheat softens it I think. Then a rush of gentle, yet insistent sweetness, tempered by a good dose of lemon-orange spritz. It is important to note that this is not really sour per se, nor acidic, but it does have that citrus and lingering sour finish. Otherwise, a good amount of coriander is present here, and a green apple ester (no apple sweetness) along with just a smudge of sulfur. The whole experience is drastically refreshing.
M / O. The finish on Celis White is soft, with an extremely long, lingering lemon-esque note and some white bread dough. The carbonation is equally soft / light, I personally would prefer a bit more... but that said, one could hardly ask for a better Belgian-style summer beer. This is both to style and excellent, and right up there with Allagash White for contention as the best Belgian Wit I've had out of my home country. In fact I feel like I prefer this to Allagash... guess I'd better acquire some more and find out, huh?

A- Pretty nice orange color that has alot of the white clear haze color to it. The head shows a 2 finger head, but a little too cola like.
S- Smells nice. It reminds me more of a tripel than a witbier. The coriander smell is strong, and the orange zest aroma you'd look a little bit for is not there.
T- Tastes nice though. It's a light tasting witbier, the orange flavor is there now, and the coriander is also there, but they go well together.
M- Super light bodied, making this an easy drinker.
O- It's super light folks, Sessionable all day long in the summer. Enjoyed this brew. probably a little lower on the calories too.

Pours light yellow, lemonade is a good comparison. Doesn't have the white that I'm used to - this is more of just a yellowish beer. Head is white, and disappears nearly immediately. Nose is faint and full of citrus and wheat.
Taste is good, light in citrus, a nice balance of wheat. Pretty standard white beer, no Hoegaarden or Allagash, but not bad. Mouthfeel is light and easy to drink.

Poured from bottle into a Sam Adams glass.
A - Sort of a strange, watered-down lemonade color. A little sickly looking. A thick white head helps the appearance.
S - A nice floral scent.
T - Tastes like a Belgian, some definite wheat notes. Nice and light.
M - Good. Smooth and not much carbonation.
Summary - This was a nice surprise, picked it up in a custom six pack from World Market and wasn't real sure what to expect. It's a good Summer brew and interesting enough to drink w/o food. I may pick up a six pack.

I drank this from a pint glass...
The beer is white/ yellow with a fluffy white head. It smells of a musty fruity apple-ish aroma when wheat and orange. The taste is big on wheat, lemon, banana and clove, with a slight bubblegum aftertaste. The beer is light and refreshing, lots of soft carbonation and a dry finish. This is a solid wit, it's expected that it is similar to Hoegaarden, but there is a slight but pleasant twist.

Finger of foamy white head, which recedes, laces a bit. Lemon juice yellow body, clear.
Totally signature orange and coriander nose. Smells like a wit.
Taste is surprisingly spicy with a bunch of pepper. This is pretty much a really light saison with some wheat and a bit of orange.
Pretty smooth-- evenly textured. Not thick for being ostensibly wheaty; seems filtered.
Kind of interesting to try the proto-wit. I'm not a fan of the filtering, but it's impressively spicy.

This beer poured out as a decent looking hazy yellow cold. The head was foamy at first before it sunk into the glass. The lacing was decent. The smell of the beer was citrusy and yeasty. The taste of the beer was light, fruity and had a touch of spices in it. The mouthfeel wasn't too bad for this style. Overall it's not a bad attempt at making a Belgian White.

A - Hazy pale yellow with a thin white head that dissipates fairly quickly
S - Coriander leads the charge accompanied by a slightly bitter floral aroma and belgian funk
T - The belgian funk and coriander are present behind the expected wheat backbone
M - Light to medium bodied and very smooth
O - A great summer session beer

Pours a pale, whitish yellow with a thin white head. Some nice lacing.
Smells yeasty, fruity and citrusy maybe some coriander and spices.
Tastes like a typical witbier but with a slight sourness to it, which isn't bad. Pretty sugary and sweet with lots of orange, lemon and coriander.
Overall a good witbier but nothing amazing.

A - Pale straw yellow, thin white head that is gone in a flash.
S - Love the smell of this brew, citrus with a touch of yeastiness. Very refreshing.
T - Lemon and citrus, with some spice to it, probably coriander.
M - Thin, but very drinkable.
Overall this is a decent beer, definitely nothing I would turn down. A very accurate representation of a wit.

Quickly poured down the side of a half liter glass mug, the hazy straw-colored brew develops a bright white three-finger head which slowly recedes, leaving clumps of foam stuck to the sides. Plentiful carbonation keeps the head refreshed.
The aroma has hints of bitter orange with spicy notes of coriander and pepper.
On the tongue, citrus and spice are up front, with the wheat following in an envelope of muted hops. Good fizzion in the mouth, but the flavor falls off in the back of the palate, typical of many wheat beers. Mild acidity and peppery tang linger in the aftertaste.
Overall a decent rendition of the Belgian style for a pleasant summer refreshment.

And for the hat trick of the night…..meaning my third and final bottle of healing from my hockey game is Celis White from Michigan Brewing Company…..An authentic Belgian-style wheat beer. The color is a very cloudy (un-filtered) yellow with razor thin white head. The nose provides hints of spice, orange, and touch of clove. WOW….this might be the best Belgium beer I have ever tasted. Very subtle with the clove, spice and citrus….this isn't bad…..and coming from a guy that really isn't a fan of Belgium styles. The subtle taste helps to keep the mouthfeel at a nice level. I think I could survive a SESSION of this beer. Not too shabby!!!

A: Very pale straw color with a nice one-finger white foamy cap. Completely opaque.
S: Very big coriander, a total herbaceous scent. Almost smells like someone is cooking something in the kitchen.
T: I get some coriander up front with that tell-tale wheaty-ness and a sweetness on the finish.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
D: Highly drinkable.

Appearance is sunshine hazy yellow with abundant rocky white head that leaves excellent lacing as the beer is consumed.
The aroma is fruity, spicy with some grassiness overall a quite refreshing aroma
Taste is tame and mild. Sour, lemony citrus with a short, bitter aftertaste. Not unpleasant but not a show stopper. Refreshing on a hot day for sure.
Mouthfeell is light, and thin. Not bad for the style I suppose but it seems a bit too light.
Overall a good choice for a hot day and to pair with say some Thai food or Szechuan Chinese. Might be nice with Curry as well.

---- — SALEM — The State Liquor Commission wants a new, $5 million store on Route 28.
Plans call for replacing the existing store with one twice as large, if the Legislature approves funding.
A legislative committee is expected to recommend the House include funding for three new stores, including Salem, in the state's capital budget. The state has more than 75 liquor and wine outlets.
The budget likely won't be settled until late in the session, probably sometime in May or June.
Craig Bulkley, chief of administration, said it could be a couple of years before a new 20,000-square-foot store would open.
The schedule will depend on other factors, such as the bid process and priorities among state construction projects.
"We are looking at trying to build it on the same plot of land where the existing store is," Bulkley said.
The Salem store is located at 417 South Broadway, about a quarter mile from the Massachusetts border.
"It was originally built as a state police barracks. It was never intended to be a retail environment," Bulkley said. "That has kind of handicapped us over the years for the amount of sales we do in the store."
Salem ranked fourth among state stores for sales with $22 million in the fiscal year ending last June. The Hampton store on Interstate 95 was the top ranked store with $31.3 million in sales.
The Salem store is smaller than 10,000 square feet and has about 5,500 square feet of sales space. It is nearly 50 years old.
A liquor store recently built on Coliseum Avenue in Nashua is 20,000 square feet and has 12,000 to 14,000 square feet for sales.
"That is the largest in our system," Bulkley said. "The Salem store probably would be similar in architecture."
A larger store in Salem would let the commission increase inventory.
"We could have a much larger volume of wines, but spirits as well," he said.
A new store also would let the commission better serve licensees such as restaurants, he said.
The commission also has longterm plans to improve the Londonderry store on Route 102, though nothing is at the funding stage, Bulkley said.
"The commission is dedicated to improving our older locations through facelifts and expansion," Bulkley said.
He expects a proposal for Londonderry will emerge within two or three years.
"That is undersized for the population it serves," Bulkley said.

This story incorrectly said Wednesday's game between N.C. State and East Carolina was at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium at ECU. The game was played at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
GREENVILLE - There would be no late-game heroics for No. 25 N.C. State this time as East Carolina attacked early, then leaned on the right arm of Brett Mabry to take 7-0 win against a sleepy Wolfpack squad Wednesday in front of a season-high 4,214 fans at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Without star shortstop Trea Turner (.306, four home runs, 23 RBIs), who was serving a suspension as a result of his ejection during Mondays win against Clemson, the Wolfpack lumber took a slumber.
We just didnt play well tonight, coach Elliot Avent said. I dont know if coming back from Clemson at 4:30 in the morning on a Tuesday night after being there all day in the rain had something to do with it, but this is the most sluggish Ive seen our team play.
N.C. State freshman Andrew Knizner extended his hitting streak to eight games with a 2-for-4 performance, and junior Jake Armstrong added two hits in the loss.
Mabry (3-0), a senior, scattered five hits and struck out six in six innings to help ECU (20-13) snap a four-game skid against its instate rival.
Logan Jernigan (4-3), a junior from South Johnston, took the loss, yielding four earned runs.
Just a week ago, N.C. State (19-13) jumped out to a 3-0 lead then staved off a ninth-inning rally by the Pirates thanks to a diving catch by center fielder Jake Fincher with two outs and the bases loaded to preserve a 3-2 victory.
East Carolina wasted no time getting on the board in the rematch, using small-ball tactics to take a 4-0 lead by the end of the fourth inning before blowing the game open with a three-run rally in the seventh.
Drew Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two RBIs for the Pirates, and Zach Houchins, Dylan Brown, Ian Townsend and Hunter Allen each drove in a run.
A Townsend sacrifice fly in the first gave ECU some early momentum and a 1-0 advantage. The Pirates added another run in the second when Charlie Yorgen scored on a Jernigan wild pitch.
East Carolina doubled its lead in the fourth when Yorgen (1-2, 2R) reached home on an Allen sacrifice bunt before Brown smacked an RBI single to score Garrett Brooks.
The Pirates put the finishing touches on the Wolfpack in the seventh when Reynolds hit his first career triple to score Allen and Brooks, then scored on a Houchins single up the middle.
Both teams will be back in action on Friday as N.C. State will play at ACC rival Duke and the Pirates will hit the road to face Old Dominion.

Conducting a job search can be a bit of a confusing experience. If you have been looking for employment for weeks without an interview call, you're likely to be thinking, 'What could I be doing wrong'?
Sometimes, it's that you need to make a few small tweaks to your resume, and other times, you need to completely overhaul your job search. If you're not getting any callbacks, there's a good chance that you fall into the latter category. So what can you do about it?
1. Clean Up Your Resume
Since your resume, aside from your application, is generally the first thing a company sees, taking steps to clean it up is a great starting place. Look over your resume to ensure that there are no obvious errors like misspelled words, grammar or punctuation issues, or typos. Then make sure that your font sizes and types are uniform.
After that, it's good to make sure that you have created a fantastic headline/job target for your resume, along with a great career summary that highlights your best professional moments to date. Also, don't forget to use plenty of industry-geared keywords in your resume, and list all of your best qualities as close to the top of your resume (and within each section of the document) as possible.
2. Refocus Your Search
If you're not getting any interview calls, and you're certain that your resume is in good shape, you may need to refocus your search. Have you been applying for jobs with qualifications that are slightly out of your reach? Or have you been conducting searches that are simply too broad?
While you may not want to pass up any great opportunities that you run across, it's probably a good idea to narrow your search; then, also narrow your resume so that it helps you to define who you are as a professional and explains why you're qualified for one specific job, rather than 13 very different positions within your industry.
3. Build Your Web Professional Presence
If you don't already have a professional Web presence, now's the time to get one. Employers spend much of their time conducting preliminary background checks on job seekers by seeing just how much of a professional Web presence those candidates have. So take time to build yours by creating a LinkedIn profile and opening a Twitter account based under your name and profession (i.e., @JaneDoeAccountant), and even building an industry-based blog.
Also, be sure to adjust the privacy settings on your personal accounts so that employers can't readily gain access to not-so-professional information you may have on the Web. This way, employers can feel confident that inviting you in for an interview is a good idea.
There's something great about overhauling your job search. It allows you to fine-tune your resume and review your career aspirations. So if you're not getting the calls you want, it's good to consider this as an option.

Teenager Jess Burns who helps feed the hungry in Bournemouth wins award for work
2:00pm Friday 7th February 2014 in News By Alex Winter
A TEENAGER who helps feed the hungry in Bournemouth has won an award for her hard work.
Jess Burns has been given a Halifax Giving Extra Award for her work with local foodbank and soup kitchen, Hope for Food, which is based at Richmond Hill St Andrew's Church.
The charity, which opens twice a week, was set up by Jess and her mum Claire Matthews to help those in need living in the town.
The duo have seen numbers swell rapidly, with between 75 and 85 people visiting each night, and decided to open at Cotlands Road car park on Saturday evenings because of the interest.
Jess, who helps to cook and serve for those who attend, said: "I was really surprised that I had won the award, as I didn't know my mum had nominated me for it.
"It's a fantastic way to raise awareness of what Hope for Food does for homeless people in Bournemouth and how the community can get involved. If we can get more volunteers and donations, the charity can expand and help even more people."
The 17-year-old also fundraises for the organisation, and is currently trying to raise £5,000 so it can become a registered charity.
Mum Claire said: "Jess is a wonderful young lady who gives all that she can to Hope for Food.
"She goes out of her way to fundraise and collect donations – without donations, there is no Hope for Food. She is a star and I am incredibly proud of her."
More than 60 people living in the south have been awarded with vouchers for £250 through the bank.
Each of them will have a chance to become a regional winner and represent their area.

So How About A Governor Noise - '46 "H"?
My new '46 "H" has what sounds like a noisey bearing in the governor. I have searched and searched for anything on this topic and not found much of anything. I reckon that's a good sign that they hold up well. I haven't ordered the manual yet, and haven't pulled the side cover, just wondering if there's something that is common that I should be looking for. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Re: So How About A Governor Noise - '46 "H"?
never heard of a bad bearing in an H governor, but have know lots of water pumps to be noisy.

Re: So How About A Governor Noise - '46 "H"?
Not sure if the H is the same as the M , I recently went through ours , it was trashed, obviously the front and rear bearing were shot.
The rear bearing slides against the weights, there may be a metal to metal condition you can't see, is it oiling good?
PM me with any questions I have been through them. Will be glad to help in any way.

I don't have my books moved over here yet, but I think the H and M gov's. are the similar! I looked it up once but that was quite a while ago! thanks; sonny

At the end of March, the New York Yankees traded Sergio Mitre to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for Chris Dickerson. A few days ago, though, Mitre was designated for assignment by the Brewers due to a roster crunch, and it turns out the Yankees wanted him back. Tom Haudricourt:
#Brewers announce they have traded RHP Sergio Mitre to the Yankees for cash. Mitre was designated for assignment on Monday.
For the Brewers, it isn't much of a return, but for the Yankees, Mitre isn't much of a pitcher.
Mitre spent two seasons in New York as a swing man, posting a 5.03 ERA over 105-2/3 innings with a K/BB just over 2. With the Brewers this season, Mitre threw 33 innings over 22 games with a shiny 3.27 ERA, but behind that ERA were just 14 strikeouts to go with ten walks, so it's not like Mitre has been especially effective. Which, duh. If he had been especially effective, he wouldn't have been designated for assignment.
In New York, the 30-year-old righty is expected to pitch in middle relief. According to a quick Twitter search I just ran, Yankees fans are less than excited about the prospect, but then, if Mitre struggles, there's nothing to stop the Yankees from dumping him again. There's not a lot of risk.

I sometimes catch myself daydreaming about those years when I was a mere guppy. I have fond memories of piling into the family fishing boat - an old wooden scow - to head offshore for dolphin. That not-so-impressive vessel sported twin 30 hp Evinrudes; its steering featured the old cable-pulley system. But I didn't care. I thought it was the best boat in the world when we motored out from the old Kings Bay boat ramp in South Miami.
Though I was excited to finally be old enough to join my family for an offshore trip, I couldn't understand why we didn't fish the waters underneath us as we crossed Biscayne Bay. As a result, I must have uttered the "are we there yet?" phrase countless times to my patient father. He finally said, "We're going where the big fish live." Not knowing any differently, I accepted his response as gospel; I watched the mangrove shoreline disappear as we headed east.
Big Bones
"Sorry, Scott!" Capt. Dave Sutton interrupted my daydream, laughing. "I know you didn't want another bonefish, but I couldn't help myself."
His light-spin outfit doubled over; braided line streaked through the water at blistering speed. All I could do was look over at captain and fellow angler Rich Smith, watch him shrug his shoulders and snicker that this could be the biggest fish of the day.
But Sutton didn't need to apologize. Though we were targeting other species such as snook, redfish, tarpon and permit on the Biscayne Bay flats this mid-February day aboard Sutton's Maverick HPX, we didn't have to pass up another silver speedster. After all, the Biscayne bone has a storied reputation as being both big and elusive. On this short trip, we poled our way to three bonefish (8-, 9 1/2- and 11 1/2-pounders), all caught on shrimp.
Sutton had chosen to fish the bay's west side where the tide flows south from the shallow dark-bottom areas that absorb sun and warm the water - to the delight of the highly sought-after ghost of the flat.
Other Biscayne Bay captains agree, saying water temperature and depth help them locate winter bonefish. "I've caught bones with water temps in the low 60s," says Capt. Jorge Valverde. "Some people think the water temperature must be at least 68 to find fish. For me, some of my biggest fish have come in the cooler water."

I am new at this, but I see your name as the creator of the memorial for Harold H McBride Jr. (90086043). He was buried in Sparkman Hillcrest Memorial Park, in Dallas, TX in June 1993.

Officials are investigating the cause of a fire that engulfed an Avra Valley mobile home Thursday.
Patrick Calhoun with the Avra Valley Fire District said the trailer in the 29000 block of E. Pecan Road was used as office space and was vacant at the time of the incident.
Nine firefighters were able to quickly control the fire and prevent it from spreading to a nearby masonry-constructed bathroom facility that was starting to catch fire.
There were no reported injuries and damages were estimated around $50,000.
The cause was under investigation.

Video: Prison cut 'will save money'
Hull prison is to be reduced in size by around a quarter and hundreds of inmates moved to other jails as part of a cost-cutting review of prisons across the country. 282 prisoners out of the more than a thousand who are currently housed at the jail will be transferred elsewhere.
The moves should happen by April. Seven older jails are to be closed completely and there are plans for a so-called 'superprison' housing two thousand inmates elsewhere in the country. Prisons Minister, Jeremy Wright, spoke to Calendar earlier.

M. De Moor
I was born in Wayne, New Jersey and I've lived in the same house for my entire life. After playing on a state champion high school basketball team, I attended Montclair State University. In college, I received my Bachelors Degree in English, while taking mostly creative writing classes. Instead of focusing on a specific type of writing in college, I tried writing in every form that I could: poetry, screenwriting, sports writing, news writing, fiction and non-fiction. Since graduating from school, I have written like a madman. I started a blog in Ocotober of 2012 about the Houston Rockets (rocketsbeardbuzz.com), among many other creative projects. The highlight of the blog was receiving some feedback from Daryl Morey, who responded to a piece I had written about the post-championship Rockets via Twitter. In April, I started a blog on the Pittsburgh Pirates (thebuccobuzz.wordpress.com), but soon shifted my writing over to Bleacher Report after being accepted into their writers program. On Bleacher Report, I wrote mainly news articles for the in-season Pirates, while writing feature pieces of the Rockets. However, I was thrown off the site after writing an article about how Jeremy Lin wasn't a starting point guard on a championship caliber team. Bleacher Report deemed the piece too controversial, and suspended me right before the piece reached 12,000 hits, but continued to feature the piece on the top of the Rockets' page.Read More »

15 Things All Houston Rockets Fans Should Agree on About the Beard, Jeremy Lin, D12 and the Rest of the Boys in RedThe Houston Rockets are one of the NBA's top teams, with a bright future ahead of them. They will soon become one of the NBA's best franchises, with star power, a great front office, and a handful of great role players.
Houston Rockets Keep Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik, Acquire Backup Wing From Denver Nuggets for Aaron BrooksThe NBA trade deadline came and went, and the Houston Rockets stood pat. Kind of. Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik stay put and Aaron Brooks gets shipped to the Denver Nuggets for Jordan Hamilton.
Houston Rockets Extend Winning Streak to Seven, James Harden Proves the Value of a Cold-Blooded, Clutch ScorerThe Houston Rockets, playing without Patrick Beverley, stretched their season-high winning streak to seven games on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Without James Harden, the streak would have been over.
Houston Rockets Cool Phoenix Suns, Dwight Howard Dominates, Jeremy Lin Gets Crunch-Time MinutesDwight Howard dominated in the post against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 34 points and grabbing 14 rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to victory. Jeremy Lin, James Harden, Chandler Parsons and Terrence Jones also had big-time contributions.
Why the Houston Rockets Shouldn't Deal Jeremy Lin at the NBA Trade DeadlineThe Houston Rockets have had more than their fair share of injury problems this season. It takes time for such a young team to gel, and moving Lin would only hinder the team's progress.
Are the Houston Rockets Actually Better Without James Harden?The Houston Rockets are currently 6-2 without James Harden this season, with Jeremy Lin posting some of his best numbers with The Beard on the pine. Despite their modest success, Houston needs Harden healthy to get out of the first round.
The Houston Rockets Will Be More of a Threat Than the San Antonio Spurs Come Playoff TimeBoth the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets have struggled with injuries all season long, but, barring disaster, both squads are still playoff bound. Which team will be more of a threat in the Western Conference?
Houston Rockets: James Harden's Proving That He's the Best Shooting Guard in the NBA, Finally Hitting His StrideDespite a lack of media attention, James Harden has taken his game to a new level in 2014. Harden has led the Houston Rockets to an 8-2 record in the new year, and the subtle improvements he's made to his game have made all the difference.
NBA: Rajon Rondo for Jeremy Lin, Omer Asik and a 2014 First-Round Pick?Daryl Morey has been patiently waiting all season long. It's time for him to make the move that transforms the Houston Rockets into legitimate title contenders. Trading for a healthy Rajon Rondo would do just that.
What If the Houston Rockets Re-Signed Goran Dragic Instead of Signing Jeremy Lin in the Summer of 2012?Daryl Morey gutted the Rockets in the summer of 2012, and has since built them into a contender. However, was letting Goran Dragic walk in free agency a mistake that will haunt the franchise?
Houston Rockets: Was Jeremy Lin's Fourth-Quarter Benching Against the New York Knicks Warranted?Jeremy Lin sat out the final 15 minutes of Friday night's victory against the New York Knicks. The Houston Rockets pulled out the win late, as coach Kevin McHale chose to stick with Aaron Brooks over Lin in crunch time. Smart move or spiteful act?
Houston Rockets: James Harden's Lack of Defensive Intensity Becoming a Serious ProblemDespite the signing of Dwight Howard, the Houston Rockets are still a bottom-five defensive team. Their leader, James Harden, needs to take it upon himself to improve his individual defense, as well as the team's overall defensive intensity.Also published on:
Merry Christmas, Houston Rockets: Now Play Eight Games in 12 Days in the National SpotlightIn the next week and a half, the Houston Rockets will be heavily tested. Playing eight games in 12 days, Houston's opponents include the Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Dallas Mavericks.
Four Reasons the Houston Rockets Would Beat the Portland Trail Blazers in a Seven-Game SeriesDespite the Portland Trail Blazers beating the Houston Rockets on Thursday night, Jeremy Lin's health, Patrick Beverley's defense, Terrence Jones' improvement and James Harden's offensive dominance would lift Houston in a potential playoff matchup.
Houston Rockets: Quarter-Season Awards for Jeremy Lin, James Harden, and the Rest of the Boys in RedBetween a handful of great games by James Harden, a surprising improvement by Jeremy Lin, and a bunch of either disappointing or dominating team performances, the first quarter of the Houston Rockets season has been as advertised.
Houston Rockets: No Jeremy Lin, No Problem; No Chandler Parsons, No Chance for Fragile RocketsThe Rockets played two of their worst games of the season last week without their third star, Chandler Parsons. However, without their backup point guard Jeremy Lin, the team has barely missed a beat.
Why Dwight Howard's First Season With the Houston Rockets Hasn't Been a DisappointmentThe mercurial Dwight Howard has never been a stranger to controversy, but this season has been anything but controversial. Howard hasn't been a statistical monster, but he's an invaluable piece to an up-and-coming Houston Rockets team.
Houston Rockets Prove They Don't Need Jeremy Lin, Dwight Howard and James Harden to Pull Out a VictoryWith James Harden sitting out with a sore left foot, the Houston Rockets were still able to pull out a victory against the Memphis Grizzlies. After a lackluster first half, Houston's lesser-known players guided the team to victory in the fourth quarter.
During a Wild 24-Hour Period in the Sporting World, the Insignificance of Houston Rockets' Loss to Dallas Mavericks Is EvidentThe Houston Rockets dropped a close game to the Dallas Mavericks last night, as James Harden failed to lift his team to victory down the stretch. However, the Rockets loss means very little in the big picture.
Houston Rockets: With Omer Asik Playing a Lesser Role, James Harden Primed to Sneak Into MVP RaceThe Houston Rockets are 2-0 since Omer Asik requested a trade, and the team may be better without him. James Harden, a potential MVP candidate, could benefit from the benching more than anyone else on the team.
The Omer Asik Situation Is Getting Ugly for the Houston Rockets, Many Possible Trade Partners ExistAfter the Houston Rockets signed Dwight Howard in the summer of 2013, Omer Asik requested a trade. Four months later, the recently-bench big man wants out of Houston again. Daryl Morey will need to get creative when moving the big man.
Houston Rockets: Jeremy Lin Shows Off Improved Shooting Stroke, Harden-Less Rockets Fall to Philadelphia 76ersThe Houston Rockets were handed their fourth loss of the season Wednesday night, this time losing to the Philadelphia 76ers. Jeremy Lin went off for nine 3's, but in the fourth quarter, the offense cooled off and the Sixers stole the game late.
Houston Rockets: Jeremy Lin Scores 31, James Harden Spreads the Love, Terrence Jones in the HouseThe Houston Rockets were able to top the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night, led by Jeremy Lin, who scored 31 points. The Rockets gave heavy minutes to Terrence Jones, and were aided by the solid performances of Dwight Howard and James Harden.
Houston Rockets: Four Fixable Problems for James Harden, Kevin McHale and the GangThe Rockets have started out slowly, posting just a 4-3 record in their first seven games, but good times are certainly in the team's future. Several changes will need to be made for the team to reach their potential, but their problems are fixable.
Houston Rockets: James Harden and Dwight Howard Dominate, Los Angeles Lakers Next UpDwight Howard and James Harden combined for 62 points in Tuesday night's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, dominating late in the game. Next up for the Rockets are the bitter Los Angeles Lakers, who are out to prove they don't need D12.
Houston Rockets: Four Early-Season Concerns for James Harden, Dwight Howard and CompanyHouston has gotten out to a 3-1 start, but are coming off one of the worst defensive performances in franchise history against the Los Angeles Clippers Monday night. Houston is a work in progress, but they'll need to identify their problems to improve.
Jeremy Lin, Dwight Howard Impress in New-Look Houston Rockets Regular-Season DebutBoth Jeremy Lin and Dwight Howard brought their "A" games in the Houston Rockets regular season opener against the Charlotte Bobcats. With Patrick Beverley's injury, Lin will likely be the team's starter for the next couple of weeks.
Houston Rockets: Jeremy Lin's Benching Makes Team Better, and Gives Him a Chance at the Sixth Man of the Year AwardPatrick Beverley has "stolen" the Houston Rockets starting point guard job away from Jeremy Lin. Lin will now be the first guy off the Rockets' bench, which gives him a chance at the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.
Houston Rockets: To No One's Surprise, Jeremy Lin Has Failed to Distance Himself From Patrick Beverley in PreseasonWith Jeremy Lin's offensive ability being curbed by James Harden's ball-dominating, attacking style, Patrick Beverley is a better option to start for the Houston Rockets. Lin should be given the role of sixth man, which should suit his offensive game.
Intangibles Over Statistical Stardom: Houston Rockets' Chandler Parsons Over the Toronto Raptors' Rudy GayRudy Gay and Chandler Parsons are never going to be number-one or number-two options on championship-level squads. However, as third stars, I'd take Parsons' intangible-laden skill set over Gay's ability to score independently.
James Harden, Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard Could Be the Best 'Big Three' in the Western Conference This SeasonEntering this season, the Houston Rockets' James Harden, Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard look like they could be the best "Big Three" in the NBA. However, not everyone contender has a "Big Three" on their roster.Also published on:
How Daryl Morey Changed His Fate and the Fate of the Championship-Contending Houston RocketsA year ago, the Rockets were headed for the NBA's doldrums. Since then, James Harden has come to town, Parsons has emerged as a legitimate third star, and Houston signed some really jacked guy to play center. General Manager Daryl Morey is to thank.Also published on:
Why the Houston Rockets' James Harden Has a Chance at Winning the MVP AwardAfter a couple of seasons, the press national press seems to get a little restless when it comes to MVP voting. While LeBron James is certainly the best player in the league, the voters could be looking to give the award to a fresh face; James Harden.
Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Clippers: A Matchup James Harden and Chris Paul Should LoveThe Los Angeles Clippers made waves in the offseason by retaining their star guard, adjusting their wing positions, and getting a new coach. Houston made waves with bringing in Dwight Howard and strengthening their bench. Who's better this season?
Houston Rockets Vs. San Antonio Spurs: Talent Over Experience (Or the Other Way Around)The San Antonio Spurs were mere seconds away from winning their fifth title last season, but after a wild offseason, the Houston Rockets have a better chance at capturing a ring this season.
Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: A Glimpse into a Potential Playoff MatchupThe Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Houston Rockets last year in the first round of the 2013 NBA playoffs, but it's a whole new ball game this year.
Houston Rockets: A Look into the Career and Emergence of Patrick BeverleyBeverley played two years in Arkansas before heading over to the Ukraine for a season. He struggled to find his way onto an NBA roster before last season, but now he's in the running to become the starting point guard of the Rockets.
Houston Rockets: Comparing and Contrasting Chandler Parsons and Kawhi LeonardThere are a handful of young small forwards begging to break into the league's elite. Both Parsons and Leonard provide big-time production to their teams, and while they have their differences, they also have their similarities.
Houston Rockets: Why Jeremy Lin and Greivis Vasquez Are Relative Equals on the CourtJeremy Lin rose to prominence during a 25-game streak in the Big Apple that was dubbed "Linsanity." Last season, Greivis Vasquez quietly led the league in total assists. While they go about the game differently, the two provide a similar impact.
Why Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik Should Come Off the Bench for Houston RocketsWith Dwight Howard in town, Houston will look considerably different than they did last season. It's in their best interest to start Patrick Beverley and Terrence Jones at the 1 and 4 respectively, and bring Asik and Lin off the bench.
How Dwight Howard's Mouth Will Help James Harden and the Houston RocketsDwight Howard and James Harden had completely different seasons last year. Now, the two are united in Houston, and they will hopefully even each other out, on and off the court.
Eight Numbers that Will Improve Next Season for the Houston RocketsThe summer of 2013 has been good to the boys in red. With the acquisition of Dwight Howard and a handful of other moves, the team has improved in a myriad of ways. There's no doubt that the Rockets will raise a few of their weaker numbers from last year.
No Daydream Can Meet the MoonlightSome kind of twisted trip for the restless, searching, and lost.
Who Are the Best Second-Round Picks in Houston Rockets History?Scouting and drafting is a major part of success in the NBA. The Rockets haven't set the world on fire in the second round, but they did find three very strong players who all became (or are becoming) important parts to the franchise.
Toss Up: Houston Rockets Shooting Guard James Harden or Golden State Warriors Point Guard Stephen Curry?The 2009 NBA draft was filled with tremendous guard prospects. Stephen Curry and James Harden have emerged as the best of the bunch, with each player guiding their teams to the playoffs last season.
What Will the Houston Rockets Do With Jeremy Lin Next Season?Jeremy Lin's 2012-13 season was well short of spectacular. After signing Dwight Howard and adjusting their roster, Houston will be looking to get more out of their starting point guard next season.Also published on:
Ralph Sampson's Injury-Riddled Career Makes Him the Most Despised Houston Rocket EverRalph Sampson was the number one overall pick of the 1983 NBA Draft, and everyone thought he was the next big thing. After three great seasons with the Rockets, including an appearance in the '86 NBA Finals, Sampson's career took a disappointing turn.
Where Does Dwight Howard Rank Among the League's Top Centers?A few seasons ago, Dwight Howard was widely regarded as the league's best center. Despite last season in Los Angeles, Howard is still worthy of the same title, and he's backed up by his statistical output.
Step Aside, Kobe Bryant: Houston Rockets' James Harden Is the Best Shooting Guard in the NBATime catches up to everyone, and even Kobe Bryant isn't immune to that. With Harden's breakout year coupled with an aging Bryant, who is recovering from a ruptured achilles, Harden is now the best shooting guard in basketball.
After Disappointing 2012-13 Season, Terrance Jones Could Play Big Part in Houston Rockets' Future SuccessTerrance Jones suffered through his first NBA season, bouncing back and forth between Houston and Rio Grande Valley. With a void at power forward, a breakout year by the young lefty out of Kentucky could launch a promising NBA career.
Chandler Parsons' Improvement as Mid-Range Scorer Key for Houston Rockets' SuccessChandler Parsons can do a little bit of everything; he can play elite defense, make big shots, shoot the three with ease, and lead both vocally and by example. If he can add a mid-range jumper to his repertoire, he'll be an even bigger threat.
Houston Rockets' Center Omer Asik is Rightfully Available and WantedOmer Asik was an absolute stud last year for the Houston Rockets. He played the game the right way, and he served a major function as a rebounder and help defender. However, Howard needs space in the lane, and piece of mind in the locker room.
The Houston Rockets Are Contenders Unless Proven OtherwiseWith San Antonio aging, Oklahoma City losing Kevin Martin and dozens of other roster moves, the Western Conference could be ripe for the taking. The Houston Rockets finally have enough on the roster for them to make a run at the Western Conference crown.
The Signing of Dwight Howard Should Signal the Departure of Jeremy LinWith Dwight Howard signing with the Rockets, the team is not done making moves. While many of Jeremy Lin's problem areas were hidden last year by the Rockets' frenetic pace and overall defensive problems, those holes will be more gaping this season.

Amenities at Min-y-Mor abound. Enjoy the luxury of wandering to the beach with only a towel in your hand: four beach chairs and an umbrella will be set up for you on the beach and removed for you at the end of the day by our "beach butler" (this service may not be available on weekdays in late August, depending upon college-aged staffing).

activities and attractions in Bethany Beach Delaware
An early morning bike ride along the Town boardwalk to pick up donuts and a newspaper is the perfect start to a great day for those who rise early.
Parents with children will enjoy the modern, well-equipped playground (about four blocks walking distance from the house to the center of town) suitable for toddlers and elementary school children. Adjacent to the playground is a full-sized basketball court and sandy volleyball area, where teens and young adults can find "pick-up games" with others. Older children can safely walk to town by themselves for ice cream or boardwalk fries, or test their skills with a round of mini-golf or arcade games.
Two blocks away is a public library, with lending privileges for vacationers, frequent children's activities and a wide variety of books and videos which may be borrowed by the week. The favorite late morning and afternoon activity in Bethany Beach is lounging on the beach next to the ocean, with cool breezes and surf perfect for swimming or boogie-boarding. The beaches at the end of the street (1.5 blocks from the house) are guarded and surf fishing is permitted during early morning hours or in the evening. After dinner families often stroll together into the Town of Bethany for ice cream and nightly musical entertainment at the Bethany town boardwalk pavillion.
Bethany Beach is known as a quiet family town which "rolls up the sidewalk" before midnight; but outlet shopping malls, night spots, kayak rentals and bay tours, amusement parks and long commercialized boardwalks can be found a short drive north to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, or south to Ocean City, Maryland.

As Halloween approaches, all thoughts turn to sugar, and if you're like most people, you'll buy the kind of candy that you like to eat, if nothing more than to stave off boredom in between rings of the doorbell.
On which side of the fence do you fall? Are you enamored of the fruity varieties like Starburst or Skittles? Or are you in the chocolate camp — the M&Ms, the Snickers and the Milky Ways? Or, perhaps, are you that rare consumer of the circus peanut or candy corn, or some other much-derided Halloween candy that disappears during the rest of the year.
Maybe your tastes are more sophisticated, and you only enjoy candy from a high end shop. If so, let us know where you get your treats and which ones you can't live without.

The 40th anniversary of the assassination of George Jackson
by David Johnson
I cannot begin to talk about Comrade without discussing my experiences, as our lives were entwined – in part by choice and the other the result of the common racist and twisted circumstances that surround our lives. It was the same dynamics that were ripping apart the fabric of our society with the Watts riot, Detroit riot and Kent State then and continue to do so to this very day in a more subtle way.
No matter how the government chooses to characterize our movement, I hold that our response to the circumstances and conditions that we were subjected to was valid, and we had – and have – every right to rebel. And no matter what methodology or rationale that the more nonviolent elements of our society use attempting to explain it away does not change the fact that it happened the way it did. This brings me to the main theme, who is George Jackson
Most people know of Comrade through his writings, ideas, thought process, perspectives and analysis of revolutionary struggle. Very few have met him, and those who have know the depth of his commitment to revolution. That came through in his writings as well.
The world met Comrade as a member of the "Soledad Brothers," three Black prisoners who were accused of killing a prison guard in retaliation for the murder of three Black prisoners, whose deaths the local judicial system considered "justifiable homicide." W.L. Nolan, Cleveland Edwards and Alvin "Jug" Miller were shot on a prison exercise yard, shot by a guard during an altercation with racist prisoners.
The world met Comrade as a member of the "Soledad Brothers," three Black prisoners who were accused of killing a prison guard in retaliation for the murder of three Black prisoners.
No weapons were involved; it was a fist fight! A white prisoner was wounded also but not intentionally, his injuries were the result of a ricochet. So we can conclude as other prisoners did his being injured was accidental. Not so the shots that killed Nolan, Edwards and Miller.
In looking back, I could have been one of those prisoners gunned down on that yard. When I first arrived at Soledad in September of 1968 from Southern Reception Center at Chino, California, I was placed in O Wing. This was my introduction to Soledad Central, known as the "Gladiator School."
It was there that I first started learning about the race war that was going on, how the guards manipulate and facilitate the murder of Black prisoners. One of them who had been killed before my arrival I knew from my neighborhood; his name was Len Andrews. Another prisoner killed was known as "Dopey Dan"; his real name was Clarence Causley. He was a friend of the Comrade.
I remember another Black prisoner who died at the hands of prison guards; his name was Powell. Any one of those prisoners could have been me, simply because I was Black. I met Louie Lopez, a Mexican brother from LA. He was in the Adjustment Center on Aug. 21, 1971. We knew each other from YTS (Youth Treatment Services).
Once I was on the mainline and settled, I started getting in touch with my comrades. I met Kumasi, a brother from Slauson, who schooled me on Bunchy Carter, who was from Slauson, another revolutionary who emerged from the California prison system to lead the LA Black Panther Party. He used to recite a poem written by Bunchy titled "Black Mother." I knew Jug from the "Businessmen," an LA street gang, was there, as he left the reception center along with another brother I knew from my CYA (California Youth Authority) days, Chili from the "Gladiators," another LA street gang, two weeks before me.
We used to lift weights together and agreed that if I came to Soledad that they would look out for a spot for me on the weight pile. We knew each other from YTS, a California Youth Authority facility, so we had history.
It was on the weight pile where I first met Comrade George and Tony Gipson, and it changed my life. We would all meet on the weight pile after work call, do our workout and kick it. While at Soledad, I was brought into a collective of comrades, and Comrade was a part of that collective as well.
We started study groups and were introduced to the Comrade's martial arts fighting style. In every prison these collectives existed. They were an essential part of our defense against the racist attacks that Comrade so eloquently described in "Soledad Brother" and had himself been a victim of many times. As he points out, "I've been the victim of so many racist attacks I could never relax again."
Study group collectives were an essential part of our defense against the racist attacks that Comrade so eloquently described in "Soledad Brother" and had himself been a victim of many times. As he points out, "I've been the victim of so many racist attacks I could never relax again."
When I say I could have been one of those prisoners gunned down on that yard, what I mean by that is this: that tension was high at Soledad; it reached a boiling point in July of 1969. There was a riot and the prison was locked down.
We made the decision to move on the racists first instead of waiting to get moved on. Comrade felt that they would lock him up; however, it was something that had to be done and he understood that. I was placed in O Wing in a cell next to W.L. Nolen. He sent me a care package – tooth powder, envelope and some reading material – along with a note explaining to me about the yard that was going to open and what was going to happen when we all hit the yard.
The reason I wasn't there is they shipped me out to DVI, another prison in Tracy, California. There I met a comrade from San Francisco by the name of Waddell Lane and started to give him some of the knowledge that was given to me.
I was on the exercise yard in San Quentin's B Section when a comrade hollered to me out of the hospital window what happened in Soledad, pointing out to me that I knew the comrades.
I had just arrived at San Quentin a few days before the incident on the exercise yard went down, and I had a layover in Soledad on my way to San Quentin. While there, I asked about some of the comrades that I knew – Fleeta Drumgo, John Clu, Comrade and my former cell partner, Willie Thompson, a member of the Black Panther Party. (In the book "Seize The Time," he is the brother Big Willie.) All were still on the mainline.
It was at that time I was told that Jug was at San Quentin. Unbeknownst to them or me at the time, Jug was in O Wing. When I arrived at San Quentin, comrades told me Jug was transferred back to Soledad. I knew that was fucked up; when I heard that, I knew something wasn't right. We just got shipped out there for being involved in a race riot where some white racist had been stabbed. After the court ruling the murder of the Blacks by the guard was justified and later hearing about the guard being killed, I knew the war was on as did other comrades.
It was in San Quentin's B Section where I met Sundi (Willie Tate) and Bato (Luis Talamantez). None of us had any idea as to how intertwined our lives would become.
Comrade was an exceptional individual and driven by his passion for revolution. The immense amount of knowledge he had acquired prior to our meeting he had honed to be as sharp as a samurai sword. While in prison, he studied economics, history and philosophy, transforming himself into a political theoretician and strategist.
Comrade was an exceptional individual and driven by his passion for revolution. The immense amount of knowledge he had acquired prior to our meeting he had honed to be as sharp as a samurai sword. While in prison, he studied economics, history and philosophy, transforming himself into a political theoretician and strategist.
In his own words, he provides us with his methodology: "I met Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Engels and Mao when I entered prison and they redeemed me." Defining himself as a revolutionary, he became known as Comrade and was greeted in that manner. George was also influenced by the writings and conviction of Ho Chi Minh, as he identified with the "Dragon," a reference Ho made to people whose revolutionary mettle had been tempered by the brutality and hardship of imprisonment and their ability to build up society.
The complete Ho Chi Minh quote is: "People who come out of prison can build up the country. Misfortune is a test of people's fidelity. Those who protest injustice are people of true merit. When the prison doors are opened, the real dragon will fly out."
Another quote from Ho that was taken to heart by comrades and was sent to George by Ulysses McDaniel when the Soledad Brothers were transferred to San Quentin was this: "Advice to oneself : Without the cold and desolation of winter, there could not be the warmth and splendor of spring. Calamity has tempered and hardened me and turned my mind into steel." – "The Prison Diary of Ho Chi Minh"
"When the prison doors are opened, the real dragon will fly out." – Ho Chi Minh
During that time I would have to say those quotes reflected our sentiments exactly. I can unequivocally say that the Comrade had been tempered, and his example served to inspire and motivate prisoners to resist the brutality of a morbid and racist system. And we too went through a tempering and transformation process.
Through his writings and articles – which were circulated worldwide, in many languages – he earned the admiration and respect of progressive people everywhere who were involved in struggle to create a more socio-politically just world.
However, long before Comrade had published his books, he was recognized as a giant throughout the prison system for his courage, intellect, heart and indomitable spirit. George tells us that once you commit yourself to being a part of the transformation process, you will be subjected to the most reactionary violence the state can bring against you.

George tells us that once you commit yourself to being a part of the transformation process, you will be subjected to the most reactionary violence the state can bring against you.
George understood the importance of political consciousness and its role in the development of a prison movement and how that movement relates to other movements that are struggling for liberation. Other comrades did as well. George spoke of the Black guerrillas he met: Big Jake, Ulysses and Little John Gordon.
I mention theses comrades for a reason and that is this: George has been credited with founding/co-founding the Black Guerrilla Family (BGF). That is incorrect. The three comrades mentioned above were instrumental in the founding of that organization. It has its origin in San Quentin's Adjustment Center in 1970, in solidarity and support of George and the struggle that was being waged.
As George points out, "Now with the living conditions deteriorating, and with the sure knowledge that we are slated for destruction, we have been transformed into an implacable army of liberation." He goes on to say, "They have learned that resistance is actually possible."
Through his writings he became the strategist and tactician, and this was in line with the primary goal that had been established: the transformation of the criminal mentality to a revolutionary mentality. He did not waver from that objective, and he could see the fruits of his and other comrades' labor as he again points out: "They are now showing great interest in the thoughts of Mao Tse-Tung, Nkrumah, Lenin, Marx and the achievements of men like Che Guevara, Giap and Uncle Ho." His impact on the mentality of imprisoned humanity was worldwide, and he emerged as a spokesman for the oppressed and a voice of resistance.
The political thought of George Jackson
George was farsighted and that was manifested in "Blood in My Eye." His analysis of this country becoming a fascist state was on point in the sense that it was evolving into a more repressive entity. How you want to define it is up to you. George took fascism as his reference point. He also stated, "The final definition is still open, simply because it is still a developing movement."
Look at the multitude of laws that have been introduced to suppress any opposition to this government's actions. Torture has become an accepted practice. Be classified as an enemy combatant and you can be held without a trail indefinitely. And intellectuals still argue whether Amerika is a fascist country.
So the question is, "What is to be done?" George makes it clear to us: "Our purpose here is to understand the essence of this living, moving thing so that we will understand how to move against it." While we argue over the definition of the phenomenon – whether or not it is fascism per se – the practice and methodologies have definite parallels.
Take racism and apartheid, for example; different definitions to define similar phenomena. Both practices were state sponsored – Jim Crow laws, segregated academic institutions and usurping people's right to vote. Even today in the wake of Obama's election, there is a movement in several states to suppress and stifle the Black vote. I think we should reread "Blood in My Eye" – the section "After The Revolution Has Failed." These are the dangerous times George warned us about!
Was George a political prisoner?
The answer to that question is yes, not because of his activities prior to his coming to prison, but due to his evolution while in prison, his responses to racist attacks and inhumane treatment. As he points out, for his efforts he was in the crosshairs of the state.
Political prisoners exist as the result of the economic, political and social conflicts that occur in societies, and there are no societies which are without their share of conflicts, so it can be said every society will have political prisoners. America denies the fact that it has political prisoners, but we have witnessed the actions of COINTELPRO, the FBI's so-called "Counter Intelligence Program" initiated under J. Edgar Hoover, which was actually aimed at infiltrating, dividing and destroying all progressive movements in the U.S.
America denies the fact that it has political prisoners, but we have witnessed the actions of COINTELPRO, the FBI's so-called "Counter Intelligence Program" initiated under J. Edgar Hoover, which was actually aimed at infiltrating, dividing and destroying all progressive movements in the U.S.
It has resulted in the death and imprisonment of comrades who have resisted the evils of this system. Some of those who survived the murderous assaults live in exile. And we should never forget them and the sacrifices they made endeavoring to create a more equitable society.
George Jackson leaves us with a legacy of resistance, courage and brilliant insight. He was able to forge unity among prisoners in spite of the intense racism that permeated the prison system, which was reinforced by the guards. And that should not be forgotten.

I won`t mourn for anyone who supports:
Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn't object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives alike say I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.↓
"Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white"
I agree to be anti-white is to be exaclty anti-imperalist and anti-white supremacy
They only way the race problem would end world wide would be that every person of color of various nationalities for all to go back to their country of origin and means not only the Africans of the Diaspora leaving the the US for Africa but for the Euros to GET Out of Africa meaning all of the coroporations including the tourist.↓
