For his 23rd birthday Josh Morgan asked the community to give him one gift: the opportunity to give clean water to places without it. Two and a half years later, Josh is seeing the results from his campaign.
In 2011 Josh Morgan was inspired to give people clean water for his birthday after seeing Scott Harrison, the founder of 'Charity: Water' speak at the Catalyst leadership conference in Atlanta. Mogan said "I was moved as he spoke about how his life had been changed by meeting the need of clean water for people that were dying because of the things that they were drinking."
His original goal was to have 20 people give $23 in honor of his birthday. However –the campaign quickly took off. When his birthday arrived friends and family had given $1,000 to help give people clean water.
Over the past two years the Charity:Water organization has been sending updates to Morgan as well as his supporters. They have been showing the progress and delays of the project, and the Morgan project had many due to government regulations and construction delays.
On Friday, Josh Morgan got the 'proof' of his project in Ethiopia. Charity:Water sent Morgan and his supporters GPS coordinates, photos, and a google map of the finalized project.
The report says the "Komeshga 25 School" project will harvest rainwater and serve 383 people in Ethiopia. The report adds that "charity: water projects at schools like this one use clean water as a catalyst to improve the overall health of kids and the surrounding community. That means this school project includes not just a water source, but also latrines, hygiene training and a handwashing station."
For more information on the project you can visit Josh Morgan's project page. http://my.charitywater.org/joshis23

Calexico--Dozens of teachers, staff members and students rallied outside the Calexico Unified School District office demanding for a settlement over proposed budget cuts.
"There is no need for all this," Enrique Cervantes, president of Associated Calexico Teachers said. "They seem to think there is a need but in reality the facts show differently."
While all the rucket was going on, a representative for the Association of Calexico Teachers, a district official and a neutral party were inside the office discussing facts from both ends.
Cervantes said teachers are facing up to a $600 cut from their paychecks every month.
He said teachers are having to purchase classroom supplies while the district spends millions for questionable expenses.
They also said pre-schools in the district are also at risk of being shut down.
"How your school board is doing this at this time is beyond belief," Mikki Chicocki, secretary treasurer of Associated Calexico Teachers said. "They need to come together, they need to get it together and need to represent the folks who are working with the kids in this community."
In the district's defense, they recently sent out a letter to parents and community members stating they were disappointed teachers would choose to provide them with inaccurate, misleading and malicious information.
Officials from the Association of Calexico Teachers said they will go on strike if needed.

Giuliani's marriages
- March
- 7
Today Richard Land, head of public policy for the Southern Baptist Convention, criticized Rudy Giuliani's divorce from his second wife in an interview with The Associated Press.
"I mean, this is divorce on steroids," Land said. "To publicly humiliate your wife in that way, and your children. That's rough. I think that's going to be an awfully hard sell, even if he weren't pro-choice and pro-gun control."
The former mayor has been married three times. He married Judith Nathan in 2003 after a very messy split from Donna Hanover, so messy that he told Hanover he was leaving her through a press conference.
But evangelicals, if you listen to their leaders, should already be turning their backs on Giuliani. He's pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-gun control. Yet he still leads in some polls.
Religious leaders say his support will dwindle when Americans learn more about the man dubbed "America's mayor" after the Sept. 11 attacks. We'll see.
Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain comes to New York City tomorrow evening for an event billed as an exchange of ideas. And some evangelical leaders don't like him either.
Earlier this year, James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, said he wouldn't support McCain "under any circumstances."
On the other hand, last year, the senator delivered the commencement address at the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. He had famously declared Falwell and other Christian leaders "agents of intolerance" during the 2000 presidential campaign.

Pinellas detectives arrested 28-year-old Joshua Baker, a Lealman nurse's aid, after he inappropriately touched an elderly female patient at an assisted living facility.
Detectives say on Saturday, March 23rd, at approximately 4:00 p.m. Baker was observed by another nurse's aide on top of an elderly female patient as she lied naked on a bed.
According to detectives, Baker, who at the time had his pants down but underwear still on, immediately got off the female patient and made statements to the effect of "This isn't what it looks like" and "I don't want to go to jail".
These events were eventually reported to the ALF management and the Sheriff's Office. Patrol Deputies and Robbery/Homicide Detectives interviewed all parties involved in the matter, including the suspect, and developed enough probable cause to arrest Baker. He was charged with one count of Lewd and Lascivious Molestation of an Elderly/Disabled Person, a felony.
Detectives say Baker has since resigned from the ALF. He is reported to have only worked there for a few months.
At this time, detectives say, there does not appear to be any other victims.

Top-ranked recipe named "Roast Beef Tenderloin in a Dry Rub Crust"
Try this Roast Beef Tenderloin in a Dry Rub Crust recipe, or contribute your own. "Olive oil" and "Butter" are two tags used to describe Roast Beef Tenderloin in a Dry Rub Crust.
"Wow - we use a 3 lb tenderloin and reduced the rub by half. Used a meat thermometer to 135 and it was perfect med rare. The rub is very savory and next time I will prob use less specifically the salt. Wonderful. Thank you."- seasalles
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place an empty, heavy-bottomed roasting pan into the oven for 10 minutes. While it is heating, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, pepper and salt in a bowl. Rub this dry rub seasoning paste evenly over the beef tenderloin. After 10 minutes, remove the roasting pan from the oven, drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the pan, tilt to coat the bottom of the pan, and then add the seasoned fillet. Place in the 425 degree oven for 10 minutes. Turn the fillet over and return to the oven to sear the second side for an additional 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and cook until it reaches desired doneness using a meat thermometer (an internal temperature of 135 degrees for medium-rare) approximately 15 to 18 minutes additional cooking time. For the wine sauce: In a saucepan, combine wine, shallots, and salt and pepper. Reduce by half. Whisk in thyme and butter just to heat through. When the tenderloin has finished roasting, remove it from the oven and allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice the tenderloin into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on a platter. Spoon some wine sauce over the top. This recipe yields 8 to 10 portions.

Scientists claim to have developed a microwave technique which sterilizes food without cooking, helping to extend its shelf-life and minimize the use of preservatives. As well as keeping a loaf of bread fresh for 60 days, the method can be used to treat a range of foods including fresh turkey, herbs, fruit and vegetables. The average British family dumps food worth $680 every year, creating a vast mountain of rotting waste. A fifth of all food coming into the home is thrown away, mainly fruit, vegetables, dairy products and other perishables such as bread and meat… But a method developed by American firm MicroZap could extend its shelf-life by weeks." w/ photo

Please note: this course guide was created during a previous semester, and is no longer being actively maintained. For a list of current course guides, please see http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guides.
Use OskiCat to locate materials related to your topic, including books, government publications, and audio and video recordings, in the libraries of UC Berkeley. OskiCat will show you the location and availability of the items that we own.
Use Next Generation Melvyl to locate materials related to your topic located at other campuses in the UC system. Next Generation Melvyl also allows you to expand your search to libraries worldwide. Clicking on the REQUEST button in the detailed view of a catalog record prompt you to fill out a form to request the item through our Interlibrary Loan office.
Click on the image below to see a larger interactive version of the campus library map.
You can also view/download a PDF map of library locations. For library contact information and building addresses, visit our directory.
You can access UCB Library resources from off campus or via your laptop or other mobile device using one of two simple methods:
Proxy Server
After you make a one-time change in your web browser settings, the proxy server will ask you to log in with a CalNet ID or Library PIN when you click on the link to a licensed resource. See the setup instructions, FAQ, and Troubleshooting pages to configure your browser.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
After you install and run the VPN "client" software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.
The Library offers over 100 e-book and e-text collections in specific subject areas. E-books in collections marked * are also available through OskiCat and Melvyl. You can limit your search in OskiCat to "Available online," and in Melvyl to "Online resources."
Use these article selected databases to find information on your research topic. For the full list of Political Science Article databases, click here.
Once you've searched a database to find articles, you may need to use to link to a PDF or html file if the full text is not immediately available. Each database isa bit different, but a good rule of thumb is this: when you see the Uc-eLinks icon click on it to view your article access options, which can range from full text to a call number to an Interlibrary Loan request:
For more information, here's a tutorial on using UC-eLinks.
Have a citation? Use Citation Linker to go directly to the article.
Get immediate access to journal articles, books and other publications (or request them when they are not available) by entering a title and other citation information.
This is a partial listing of the government information databases provided by the Library. For a fuller list, please visit the Government Information pages.
These links will guide you to various sources for statistics and data. If you are interested in manipulating a dataset on your own, please visit the Doe Library's Data Lab in 189 Doe.
Here are some general news and newsmedia databases. For a full listing of the Library's news resources, check this list.
The Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) can provide you a wealth of information from foreign news sources. The U.S. State Department ran the FBIS to translate foreign language newspapers, wires, and broadcasts into English. FBIS only translated information relating to U.S. interests, and only distributed to the public a select amount of what was translated.
At UC Berkeley, we have 3 databases for locating FBIS documents:
FBIS Daily Reports (covers 1941-1996, and is full text--Click on the tab "Events" to find news on major world events)
World News Connection (covers 1996-2013, and is full-text, but is not being updated)
FBIS Electronic Index (covers 1975-1996 and is only citations-- though all will be in the FBIS Daily reports database above, use the instructions below for finding the documents "old school" style)Read more
Why use Google Books? Library catalogs (like OskiCat) don't search inside books; using a library catalog, you can search only information about the book (title, author, Library of Congress subject headings, etc.). Google Books will let you search inside books, which can be very useful for hard-to-find information. You can then use Google Books' Find in a Library link to locate the book in a UC Berkeley library, or search OskiCat to see if UC Berkeley owns the book.Try it now:
Google Scholar is an easy way to do interdisciplinary research, and with some settings changes can become even more useful. You need a Google account to use these features.
Do your search in Google Scholar. Look in the green toolbar for the envelope icon, and click it. New items will be sent to your email account as they are found by Google.
Open Scholar. Click on scholar preferences [next to the search box]. Under Library Links, enter the word Berkeley. Choose up to three database providers we subscribe to: Full Text@IngentaConnect; UC eLinks; and Read article via OCLC.
Do a Google Scholar search. Click on the "Cited by" link under a citation and select the "Search within articles citing..." checkbox.
One of the largest hurdles of using Google is the amount you must weed through. Some searches result in thousands of pages; who has time to go through all that? You dont need to. Did you know you can manipulate a regular Google search with a couple hacks to your search. Its true! Try these search "tricks" during your next google search.
You can also combine some of these search hacks, such as adding -site:nytimes.com to remove results from the New York Times website. More search tricks can be found here.
Research Advisory Service for Cal Undergraduates
Book a 30-minute appointment with a librarian who will help refine and focus research inquiries, identify useful online and print sources, and develop search strategies for humanities and social sciences topics.
Schedule, view, edit or cancel your appointment online (CalNetID required)
This service is for Cal undergraduates only. Graduate students and faculty should contact the library liaison to their department or program for specialized reference consultations.
Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!
It's always good to double check the formatting -- sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty, violating the Berkeley Campus Code of Student Conduct. The campus issues a guide to understanding plagiarism, which states:
|"Plagiarism means using another's work without giving credit. You must put others' words in quotation marks and cite your source(s). Citation must also be given when using others' ideas, even when those ideas are paraphrased into your own words."
Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic and student conduct rules and is punishable with a failing grade and possibly more severe action. For more information, consult the following UC Berkeley websites:

The GMA News has quoted NFA spokesman Rex Estoperez as saying that the plan includes the distribution of thousands of spoiled rice sacks.
There is no reason for rice prices to rise, Estoperez affirmed, adding that the rice NFA distributes is newly-milled from 2012 to 2013.
The agency has also beefed up its buffer stock after inter-governmental import contracts inked, he said.
The spokesman also affirmed around 22,500 tonnes of rice were shipped to the country in last December to increase the supply after a series of disasters hit the country in late 2013.
This is part of a contract to import 500,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam. The rest is expected to arrive in the country within the first quarter of this year.
He also assured that the agency will not release sub-standard rice.-VNA

Obama DOJ Defies Federal Judge
Monday, March 02, 2009 at 12:37 am
A heated confrontation is brewing between the Obama administration and the federal judiciary.
Late on Friday, the Justice Department's lawyers filed a brief with a federal district court in California challenging the court's power to carry out its own order. The government lawyers insisted that the court has no right to make available to the opposing lawyers in the case a classified document regarding the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program, even though the document is critical to the lawsuit, the lawyers can obtain the necessary top-secret security clearances, and the document would not be released publicly.
As TWI reported on Friday, the case of Al-Haramain v. Obama presents one of the first direct challenges by a victim of the Bush National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program against government officials. But the government has argued vigorously to have the case dismissed, invoking the so-called "state secrets privilege" to refuse to turn over information about the program, and has refused to provide the organization's lawyers use of a document that reportedly reveals that Al Haramain was one of the program's victims. Although U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker has repeatedly rejected the Justice Department's argument, DOJ lawyers filed an emergency appeal; on Friday afternoon, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected it.
So on Friday, in a move that Al-Haramain's lawyer called "mind-boggling", the Obama administration told the federal court, once again, that it did not have the authority to order the government to make the critical document in the case available to the organization's lawyers. The decision to reveal the document, wrote the government, "is committed to the discretion of the Executive Branch, and is not subject to judicial review."
Not only does that defy the court once again, but there's a catch: the court already has the document, which was filed months ago under seal. What's more, the lawyers for Al-Haramain have already seen it; it was inadvertently turned over to them back in 2004, when the government was busy trying to prove that Al-Haramain was funnelling money to terrorists. Weeks later, the government, realizing its mistake, sent FBI agents to the lawyers' offices to retrieve the document. But the cat was out of the bag: the lawyers had seen evidence that the foundation, and two of its lawyers, had been wiretapped. And that same document has already been filed, along with several other classified, sealed and secret filings, with the U.S. district court.
Realizing this, the Justice Department lawyers on Friday wrote: "If the Court intends to itself grant access to classified information directly to the plaintiffs' counsel, the Government requests that the Court again provide advance notice of any such order, as well as an ex parte, in camera description of the information it intends to disclose, to enable the Government to either make its own determination about whether counsel has a need to know, or to withdraw that information from submission to the Court and use in this case. If the Court rejects either action by the Government, the Government again requests that the Court stay proceedings while the Government considers whether to appeal any such order."
In other words, the government lawyers threatened to physically remove the document from the court files if the Judge insists that he has the right — as he already ruled he has — to allow Al-Haramain's lawyers to see it.
"It's a not-so-thinly veiled threat to send executive branch authorities (the FBI? the Army?) to Judge Walker's chambers to seize the classified material from his files!" wrote Jon Eisenberg, Al-Haramain's lawyer, in an e-mail on Saturday. "In my view, that would be an unprecedented violation of the constitutional separation of powers. I doubt anything like it has happened in the history of this country."
The stand-off centers on who has the power to decide whether classified information must be made available to someone outside of the government. The Justice Department insists that only the director of the relevant executive agency has that power; and in this case, the Director of the National Security Agency has decided that Al-Haramain and its lawyers should not be allowed to see the classified document, because they don't have a "need to know" the information it contains.
In fact, it's clear that in order for Al-Haramain to pursue its case against the government, its lawyers need at the very least the sealed document that indicates they were wiretapped. Indeed, it's the only known evidence that indicates that the Islamic charity was wiretapped without a warrant; without it, the organization and its lawyers don't have standing to sue the government.
That's not a concern of the Justice Department, however, which insisted on Friday: "the Court does not have independent power . . . to order the Government to grant counsel access to classified information when the Executive Branch has denied them such access."
The Obama administration "seems to be provoking a separation-of-powers confrontation with Judge Walker," said Eisenberg.
The government's latest move is just another in an increasingly aggressive set of tactics it's been using to defend broad executive power to conceal evidence of illegal activity by the Bush administration. In both this case and another case I wrote about earlier, Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, the Obama administration has invoked the "state secrets" privilege to argue that the subject matter of the lawsuits are themselves state secrets, and therefore that the cases must be dismissed.
Civil liberties advocates had hoped that the Obama administration would be more open about the workings of government – and particularly about the illegal activity that occurred in the name of fighting terrorism under the Bush administration. But they've been sorely disappointed. In national security cases, the Obama administration has aggressively used the "state secrets privilege" to insist that it can withhold classified evidence even if that's contrary to Congressional law.
"In the Bush administration, the state secrets doctrine was used to buttress the power of the president and make it difficult if not impossible to contest such issues as presidential authority to conduct warrantless wiretapping in the United States," Marc Rotenberg, Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center and an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University said last week. "We would think that when such disagreements occur, it's properly before the judiciary to resolve them. But the Bush administration asserted the state secrets doctrine for the purpose of making it effectively impossible for courts to review the matter," Rotenberg said. The significance of the Al Haramain case is "the apparent willingness of the Obama administration"s justice department to carry further that same argument in federal court. It is of great concern."
Another interesting piece of the government's filing on Friday – actually, its second filing, at 1:00 AM Eastern time – is that the government, which was supposed to report to the judge about which documents it will declassify, says that it won't declassify anything. While that's not a big surprise, the declassification report also says that its previous classified submission to the court contained an error – though it can't say what that error was, because it's classified. And, to support all this, the government filed four secret declarations by government officials — which no one but the judge is allowed to see.
"We've always suspected that the previous secret filings contained inaccuracies and maybe even outright lies, which is why we have been fighting so hard to see them," said Eisenberg. "Now it seems we might have been right. Maybe, now that Judge Walker may be about to let us see them, the Government is worried that we'll spot the lie, so they're trying to 'take it back.' This is extremely weird."
Contacted over the weekend, the Department of Justice declined to comment, saying the court filings speak for themselves. But David Golove, a professor at New York University School of Law and expert on executive power who's not involved in the case (and had not seen the latest court filings), said the Obama administration's latest brief may reflect simply the executive's usual reluctance to turn over classified information until it absolutely has to. If the government keeps appealing every action by the district court, he speculated, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals may finally give in and rule on whether the government has to comply with FISA, or whether it can continue to conceal evidence by invoking the state secrets privilege. Although Judge Walker ruled in al-Haramain's favor, no court of appeals has ever addressed the issue.
"When a court of appeals tells them they have to hand over the information, will they comply, or will they go to endless ends to prevent it from happening? I don't think we've reached that yet," said Golove. "It might be fair to view this as just a consquence of fact that they find themselves in the funny position of having to reveal classified information to people they don't want to before getting a higher court ruling on it," he added. Then again, he added: "That's at least one interpretation. We have good reason to be suspicious."

1. Transparency is a policy expressed by the President.
2. National Security is a defense to complying with the courts by the President.
3. Apparently now, deciding what evidence is relevant to an opponents case is now a policy of the Presidents department heads.
Take your choice vote for no. 1 or no. 2 & 3.
If you vote for 2&3 throw out no. 1, burn YOUR version of the Constitution and be prepared for a long national nightmare of the EXECUTIVE Branch of the Government being above the law.
What would be the point in winning the war on terror if we lose all our rights and become subjects to our President? If that is the case who won the war?
Talk is cheap Mr. President. In the dark all cats are gray.

States secrets act does not insure "domestic tranquility"
States secrets breed disdain towards the secret keepers. When a population realizes that its own government considers each and everyone of us the enemy, that population will refuse to cooperate. As much as the citizens are now doing. That what we call apathy, is also disdain, a refusal to cooperate. The fall of America will come from within and it has started through the State Secret act AKA CRIMINAL COVER UP.

If the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Obama administration would this likely be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court? If that's the case, how long would it take for the Supreme Court to rule on it? I'm thinking it would certainly be after Ruth Bader-Ginsburg–reportedly very ill with cancer–retires from the bench.
Following that line of thought, I wonder if a litmus test for the Obama Administration's first Supreme Court nominee (and of course this would never be openly acknowledged) would be that the nominee has to support the Obama Administration's assertion of the "state secrets privilege"? In other words, running down the clock to give the Obama Administration the opportunity to place a "ringer" on the Supreme Court in order to get a favorable ruling on this case.

"In other words, the government lawyers threatened to physically remove the document from the court files"
I'm not seeing those "other words," or any reasonable equivalent, in the Gov't's message. What it seems to me to be saying is that if the Court is inclined to grant plaintiffs access to the document (implicitly, on the theory that it would be unfair to allow the Gov't to claim state secrets based upon this document without letting the plaintiffs use it as well), then the Gov't will "withdraw" the document from submission (and use) in this case.
Now, attorneys "withdraw" previously filed documents from the Court on a regular basis, for a variety of reasons (see, e.g., Stanford's attorney, who withdrew all prior representations to the Court when he realized what a crook his client was). Such withdrawal does not, as a general rule, involve having people storm the Court and physically remove documents against the Court's will.
I think you're getting played by the plaintiffs' counsel. And I say that as someone who has no great affection for the whole state secrets doctrine; I'd like to see it sharply curtailed, if not totally eliminated.

HARD TO BELIEVE OBAMA IS Trying to conceal evidence of illegal activity by the Bush administration.
Obama's Justice Dept. should be prosecuting them.
Holder's/Obama's pronouncements on Torture, etc
Are To Be Seen As Just Political Posturing UNLESS
A Special Prosecutor
Is Appointed VERY SOON!
We understand what our politicians really stand for by how they act and do not act, Not Just By What They Say.
So IF Obama and Holder would rather We Believe that "THEY Really believe Torture is Illegal", the Only Way They Can Prove It To We The Voters,
IS TO APPOINT A Special Prosecutor.
Obama said,
"no one is above the law"
SO Congress must demand and the Justice Dept must appoint a Special Prosecutor with Subpoena Powers and the authority to indict all those officials found to have violated Federal Laws, Our Constitution or the Geneva Convention on Torture. The Statute of Limitations starts to run out in March. Prosecution will stop unnecessary wars and the damage to our economy caused by presidential lies and Abuse Of Power. Bush & Cheney confessed that they ordered torture. Very little additional investigation is needed.
Sen. Leahy & Rep. John Conyers' "blue ribbon commissions" will be nothing but a white wash and a burial for all time of the true facts.
We do not want a commission. We want them prosecuted.

I am so glad I found this series of articles about the state secrets privilege and the inane arguments being made by the Obama DOJ. I compliment the author — this is a very well-written piece.
I am confounded by the early moves of the Obama DOJ because it runs counter to everything I heard from Candidate Obama and from the Democratic Party in general.
In fact, there is legislation pending in Congress to revise the state secrets privilege (The State Secrets Protection Act) so that is cannot be used to wholesale dismiss cases based on secret affidavits. The privilege should only be used to object to certain pieces of evidence rather than cut off access to the Justice system.
I first learned about the issue when reading about the FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds and I commend readers interested in this subject to research her case.

We are seeing the fruits of the failure to impeach Cheney and Bush. The strongest argument for impeachment was to prevent the unconstitutional destruction by the Executive Branch of the balance of powers. The "imperial presidency" is very seductive and Obama has been seduced. We, the People, must continue to speak out against these incursions into the civil liberties of citizens and wrest back the Constitution.

The US Criminal Justice system is a Criminal Justice System. A system where a wealth theif lives in his 7 million penthouse while a poor man stealing some food gets 25 years to life (3 strikes you are out). . A Justice system where the criminals are turned into innocents and innocents are persecuted into criminals. The US Criminal Justice System is where you are considered innocent until you run out of money.
A capitalist justice where the rich buy a better justice system with nit picking details while the poor plea bargain.

Why not, as precedent recognizes, redact the portions of the document, but disclose only those parts relevant to the litigation? Inadvertent disclosures are admissible.
The government's position calls attention to the very thing it hopes to distract attention: Domestic surveillance of legal counsel, without warrants, in alleged breach of FISA requirements.

"Democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency." – President Obama January 2009
"We have to use technology to open up our democracy. It's no coincidence that one of the most secretive administrations in our history has favored special interests and pursued policies that could not stand up to the sunlight. As president, I'm going to change that." – Barack Obama
"The Bush Administration has been one of the most secretive, closed administrations in American history. Our nation's progress has been stifled by a system corrupted by millions of lobbying dollars contributed to political campaigns, the revolving door between government and industry, and privileged access to inside information-all of which have led to policies that favor the few against the public interest." – Barack Obama
"As a nation, we have to find the right balance between privacy and security, between executive authority to face threats and uncontrolled power. What protects us, and what distinguishes us, are the procedures we put in place to protect that balance, namely judicial warrants and congressional review. These aren't arbitrary ideas. These are the concrete safeguards that make sure that surveillance hasn't gone too far. That someone is watching the watchers." . – Barack Obama
Gee whiz, gosh, darn, and drat! King Obama's justice department has invoked the "state secrets" privilege. Who could have foreseen such treachery?
"Those who have been once intoxicated with power and have derived any kind of emolument from it can never willingly abandon it." — Edmund Burke
"Monarchy would not have continued so many ages in the world had it not been for the abuses it protects. It is the master of fraud which shelters all others (Thomas Paine, 1792)."
"For those looking for security, be forewarned that there's nothing more insecure than a political promise." — Harry Browne
"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty." — John Adams, 1772
"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both." — James Madison
The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." — Thomas Jefferson
In a Democracy, the people get the government they deserve – Alexis de Tocqueville
We deserve the government we get! Wake up people! Time is running out. Demand to know the truth now. Demand justice and accountability now. The truth shall set us free from corporate tyranny!

Then let Obama and Bush be wiretapped. What you failed to understand is that while the battle rages over correcting these horrible injustices, the victims of George Bush's bullyish administration is still under attack. Right under the Judges nose the victims of these unfounded accusations are still being cheated, violated, privacy grossly invaded, wiretappings persistently ongoing, bank accounts monitored mail seized and lives ruined and for no reason at all. In my case it was because I won a grievance against an uneducated supervisor that had vague connections to these political thugs. This supervisor was clearly in the wrong and because of pompous pride, I was turned over to this nightmare! They also install unsuspected cameras within apartments.

You know what they say on the Internet; post in haste, repent at leisure.
I just posted a counterpoint to Cats's post below showing some Islamic justice and its justification in the Koran; mine was a list of nasty "who to stone, and why" from the Bible. I posted it because it seemed Cats was sort of carrying on this argument over at Samizdata which started off about the elder brother of Charles I and ended up about Islam, via a thing about whether the current turmoil in the Islamic world is a parallel to the turmoil in Christendom during the Reformation. But then I thought it looked kind of pissy to have posted that here, like a spoiler to Cats's post which, having repented at leisure I guess it was to some extent, so I've just taken it down again and praised the Lord for having admin rights.
Still, I think the question that developed at Samizdata- can Islam reform?- is really quite an interesting one. I think most of us here at Cats probably agree that Islamic "justice" and much of the nature of Islamic society as it currently stands is not something we find very admirable, to put it mildly. The question therefore is, "can Islam become something more admirable?". That is, can you have a society which is muslim but also adopts western/enlightenment values?
Cats and various other posters say the answer to that is no. That is, that the nature of Islam is fixed by the Koran, which by being a clear and unambiguous set of rules which all Muslims must follow, fixes the society in stone, or traps it in amber, or some other such metaphor I'm struggling with right now. But I disagree. I think that the history of Judaism and Christianity; both brothers of Islam (well, Judaism is the father, or the mother) show that religions can change, and I do not think that Islam is actually any different. I think that buying into the idea that the current form of Islam is the only possible form plays into the hands of our opponents, the jihadis.
The extreme, violent, absolutist stylee of Islam is characterised by various Islamic sectors; Wahabbi, Deobandi and so on. But the particular Bin Laden form has a very clear pedigree, and a very recent one too. It is the form of Islam developed by the Muslim Brotherhood, a reactionary movement founded in 1928 by one Hassan Al Banana, with the intention, as with all fundamentalisms, of taking Islam back to some perceived "true, pure" root. The ideological basis though isn't down to Banna anywhere near so much as down to a sad little twerp called Sayyid Qutb, who developed in a series of books the basic ideas that now drive Al Quaida. The central belief espoused was that only pure sharia is proper Islam, and anything else is "jahiliyyah"; not really Muslim at all. This reactionary philosophy was a reaction against the fact that the muslim world was evolving to modernity, becoming slowly more liberal under western influence, even discussing such issues as feminism.
But if we as western non-muslims accept this view; that there is only one possible path a muslim can follow, and any muslim who strays from Qutb's purist sharia isn't following the religion properly; and this view is widely espoused among anti-jihadists in the west, who insist that Islam has this particular character engraved into it by the Koran; then we shoot ourselves in the foot. We help the Islamists- extremists who are determined to lock their fellow muslims into a mediaeval ideological straitjacket- to achieve their aims. We are saying to the young muslim, "if you are a real muslim, you should follow violent jihad and desire a global caliphate, and you should wear the burka" and so on, and slamming the door on the muslim who says, "I just want to get on quietly with my life and go to the mosque like you guys go to church". If we say that the only form of Islam is jihadism, can we blame them for saying, "oh well fair enough, jihadism it is then".
Is there another path open to Muslims? I think there is. I do not believe that any set of words is immutable, and that is especially true of religious texts. Christians and modern Jews routinely ignore various clearly stated rules in the Bible. The Book Of Acts tells Christians not to eat strangled animals, but most Christians enjoy a turkey or goose at Christmas. The Jews no longer stone disobedient children, even though the Torah is absolutely clear on the need for that, and Judaism just as much requires obedience to the Torah as Islam to the Koran; indeed the nature of Judaic Law and Sharia are effectively the same since Islam is just Judaism for Arabs. The difference is that modern Jews take a different personal attitude to extremist muslims, that is all.
So to declare that Islam is inherently all the violence and nastiness of the Koran is wrong both logically and strategically. Islam isn't going to go away. The hundreds of millions of believers aren't going to suddenly become atheists. If we in the non-muslim world say that the only possible Islam is the one espoused by Al Quaida, we become their enablers. And we really shouldn't want to be that.

Elephants in the classroom
On 11th May 2012 ElephantVoices had a Skype conference based on our Elephants in the Classroom: Meet ElephantVoices initiative. Joyce Poole met up with students from Boynton Middle School in Ithaca, New York. Teacher Corinne Morton was the one behind this educational meeting through cyberspace.
Corinne has written this summary from an online gathering Joyce enjoyed very much. Keep up the good work, Boynton Middle School!
I am a sixth grade science and humane education teacher at Boynton Middle School in Ithaca, New York. We are located in the heart of the fingerlakes and our school is about ten minutes from Cornell University. As an educator, my passion is exposing students to all sides of situations so that they may make informed decisions about how they spend their money and what they do or do not support.
I have always been interested and involved in elephant conservation and education, especially regarding life for these creatures in zoos and circuses. I often do curriculum work tied in with the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology and have exposed my students to the research being done on elephant communication. I love to think of myself as Global Educator and link my students to scientific events worldwide as well as locally. We had the pleasure of having Melissa Groo come in to our classes to do a presentation on her experiences with the Elephant Listening Project at Cornell and elephants in general. I had also exposed my students to ElephantVoices and the work Joyce Poole has done over the years in elephant research. I thought it would be a wonderful experience to have my students Skype with her after seeing it on the website.
The students were beyond excited and still talk about the experience they had skyping with Joyce! I had a total of 120 students come up with questions for her and those students were split into four class periods to Skype. I was able to let small groups of students take turns in front of the camera asking their questions while I projected Joyce on the large screen for all students to watch. It all worked wonderfully!
My students wrote some reflective pieces on their experience skyping with Joyce and below you'll find a few.
From the sixth graders ( age 11-12):
"I learned a lot and it made me want to do something and inform other people about elephant voices!" Imaan Gruel.
"I love the skype effect...I thought Joyce Poole was funny and at the same time it was enlightening." Dylan Davenport.
"It was the best ever science lesson. I love skyping with Joyce Poole." Brian Conuel.
"I learned a lot from the questions you answered and thought it was cool that you were across the world talking to us! Thank you". Danielle Hemly.
"It was cool to meet one of the leading elephant scientists in the world! It also made me want to boycott animal circuses." (Not signed)
"I am Max and I speak for the elephants! I am convinced that poaching and circuses are horrible." Max Milton.
"I really enjoyed skyping with you. You gave many facts and a few stories that made us laugh. Skype was a great way to talk with you. I want to spread the word about ElephantVoices." Andreas Lambrou.
"I know that elephants are important to the world." Mohammed Williams.
"Joyce Poole, you are awesome, I like that you help elephants." Tysheem Randall.
"I learned a lot skyping and it made me realize how awesome elephants are." Dylan Morse.
"I learned elephant circuses are not for elephants or for any other animals." Shayla Szeto.
"Thanks for everything... I have actually been to Africa...I got to see a lot of wild animals. Elephants and other animals belong in the wild." Mariya Mayu.
"It was a very informational experience. For example, I learned that elephant tusks extend far into their skulls." Ben Carver.
"Thank you for skyping, it was a wonderful experience. Elephants are a great subject to research and I bet it is very interesting to spend so much time with them. I hope we meet again." Adelaide Tracey.
"It was very cool talking to you!" Thea Clarkburg.

Ya know, someone mentioned a few months ago that there would be a baby boom as a result of this book. I laughed because it was funny...I had no idea it would end up being true!!
I haven't read the book/s and I don't intend to. I'm not a fan of erotic novels, I guess I'm just more visual when it comes to sex, lol.

i luv these posts! I am glad that its not a bashing one. I read the books and i loved them. I blushed and giggled and swooned through all three of them. I dont judge books by they literary accuracy but rather how they transform me into the story. My DH told me a few weeks ago that he had read they are predicting a 50 shades baby boom ... we both laughed. Last week we got a BFP after 11 years of trying, if this sticks I will totally consider Christian and Ana for baby names haha

text: The Oued El Kebir River in Algeria has its source in Blida-Atlas at 1,525 meters (5,000 feet) and ends some 60 kilometers (37 miles) later in the Mediterranean, close to Algiers. During a journey on foot along the river, director Abdenour Zahzah encounters mini-societies of people who give us a very different picture of Algeria. We meet a man who is worried about the Nestle factory, as it is only offering disadvantages to his village – from the razed playground to the increase in traffic. Another man is indignant about when they started having to pay for water back in 2007. Further down the river, someone is washing his van, while still another is wandering through a decrepit windmill that closed down in the dismal 1990s, when the area fell to terrorists and the first large-scale massacre took place. Downstream, people live among rats and garbage dumps, and homeless kids drink aftershave. "Don't broadcast these images abroad," one man calls from his bike. "The French will say, 'Look what happened to the Algerians.' But we are doing well."

NOTE: News like this is always difficult to report and the staff here at AmSnow extends our deepest condolences.
The motor sports industry lost KLIM's Snowmobile Promotions, Events and Sponsorship Manager, Nathan Lee Blaylock, 33, on August 12 after suffering injuries in a vehicle accident.
Blaylock of Idaho Falls, passed away at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, according to his obituary.
Nate was born on January 27, 1978 in Ogden, Utah, to Danny Levi Blaylock and Sharrie Diane Atkinson. He grew up in Washington Terrace, Utah. He graduated from Bonneville High School and attended Weber State University. He was an Eagle Scout. He served a full-time proselyting mission to Tampa, Florida from 1997 to 1999 for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He married Holly Marie Evans on October 26, 2004 in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They made their home in Idaho Falls where Nate worked as a Marketing-Promotions Manager at KLIM Company.
Nate was passionate about politics. He loved automobiles, dirt bikes and snowmobiling. He enjoyed photography, camping, and spending time outdoors. He was a Varsity Scout coach. Most of all, he loved spending time with his wife and children.
Survivors include his wife, Holly; sons, Parker, Joshua, Ethan and daughter, Grace. Also surviving are his parents, Danny and Sharrie Blaylock of Washington Terrace, UT; brothers, Jacob (Amy)Blaylock of Rexburg, Christopher Blaylock of Washington Terrace, UT; sisters, Jennifer (Richard) Jones of Roy, UT, Malinda (Jason) Pehrson of Logan, UT; and grandmother, Mary Atkinson of Roy, UT.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Emery Atkinson; and grandparents Angus and Vilate Blaylock.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at the Idaho Falls LDS Crestwood Ward, 1925 East 49th South with Bishop Sheldon Dance officiating. There will be no visitations. Burial will be in the Ammon Cemetery under the direction of Wood Funeral Home, 963 S. Ammon Rd.
Klim also issued this statement on their Facebook page. "On Friday August 12th, 2011, the motor sports community suffered a tragic loss with the passing of Nathan Blaylock, KLIM's Snowmobile Promotions, Events and Sponsorship Manager, from injuries suffered in a vehicle accident.
The entire KLIM family feels it's important to share the news of Nate's passing with the industry he was so passionately committed to. We feel honored to have worked with Nate, to have become his friend and to have had such a man of his caliber as a member of our family.
Everyone at KLIM would like to express our sincerest condolences to all of those who had the opportunity to work with and/or meet Nate. As you likely know, Nate was fearless in his dedication. His refusal to conceive a project as impossible, no matter how ambitious, led KLIM to some of its most-rewarding partnerships with both grassroots and global motor sports organizations.
KLIM, numerous land-use conservation, access activist and riding advocacy groups representing all sports and seasons, have all directly benefitted from Nate's pure creativity and simple hard work. But above all business, network and ingenuity, Nate was true family. And his contributions to making our world a better place to live and ride in are immense.
Please keep Nate, his wife Holly and their four children in your thoughts and prayers through this tragic time.
We will try our best to keep everyone up-to-date on services and ways to help as they come about.
-The Employees at KLIM"

As I write this message, I have to reflect on the weather. Hasn't it been unbelievable? I know some of our division members, depending on their locations, are having a very hard time with the weather. I do feel for you, but just remember what the calendar shows, it is Spring time. Don't worry, it is right around the corner. I live in a southern suburb of Denver and the snow comes and goes, the wind blows – sometimes pretty strong, the temperatures up and down but through it all the sun keeps shining. I love it. Right now some of my plants are starting to sprout looking for daylight. I just hope the frost stays away. I know I am just dreaming. But isn't that what hopes and dreams are all about.

THE women's rugby team from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC) have taken home the BUSA crown for the third year running.
After a tight game the UWIC squad managed to overcome Northumbria at Twickenham with a final score of 22-20. This is the fifth time that UWIC have won the BUSA women's rugby championship having lifted the trophy in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
The teams were neck-a-neck throughout the first half but it was Northumbria who were in the lead at half time. The second half was equally as tight but after an exhausting game it was UWIC who claimed the victory in the twelfth minute of injury time.
Chris Davey, Director of Rugby at UWIC, said: "Once again our women have shown that they are the dominant force in BUSA Women's Rugby. They are to be congratulated for their efforts against a very well organised and committed Northumbria team.
"The standard of this competition improves year on year. The girls have put in a great deal of effort this year along with their coaches Kylie Wilson, Alan Sheppard and conditioning coach Dai Watts, to ensure that it is UWIC women's rugby who are setting the standards in this competition, long may it continue."
