Scrap Trident Faslane Demo 30 Nov: A film by Laurie Irvine
30 November 2014 saw the biggest demonstration in a decade against Trident at Faslane where the UK's Trident nuclear submarines are based. This short film by Laurie Irvine gives a taste of the day.

Follow the Leader
Next week, the Scottish Labour party will choose a new leader: Jim Murphy, Sarah Boyack or Neil Findlay. The three candidates took part in an online hustings for Guardian readers today.
A reader asked this question: "As Scottish Labour policy is against Trident, will you as leader of Scottish Labour advocate the democratic will of Scottish Labour members on this issue, or will you insist on pushing the UK party policy on the Scottish party?"
Their answers were as follows:
Sarah Boyack
"I've made my views clear – I don't support the renewal of Trident. I'm proud of the work of the last Labour government to negotiate a reduction in nuclear warheads across the globe. Spending billions on acquiring a new weapons system would be going in the wrong direction.
We need to play our part by investing in our own UK defence and peacekeeping capabilities, supporting conflict resolution and using economic sanctions where appropriate."
Neil Findlay
"I'm against the UK having nuclear weapons – I want the Scottish Labour party to be campaigning for the UK to cancel Trident."
Jim Murphy
"I want a world free of nuclear weapons. There are two entirely legitimate views on what is the best way to achieve that – multilateralism or unilateralism. I'm not a unilateralist and want the UK to be part of negotiations to make the world nuclear-free.
I know that that is tougher at the moment when the likes of North Korea are trying to acquire nuclear weapons. But I don't believe in unilaterally stopping being a nuclear power. I'm pretty proud of all the work the previous Labour government did to reduce our warhead numbers."
So there you have it. If you're a Labour party member who is against renewing Trident in 2016, or a union member who has a vote in the leadership contest, it's clear, despite the obfuscating political flannel, that a vote for Jim Murphy is a vote for the continuation of nuclear weapons in Scotland.
Labour party members in Scotland who insisted they were just as opposed to nuclear weapons as we were during the indyref campaign now have a chance to do the right thing. The question is – will they?
We'll be watching the outcome with interest.
30 Nov 2014: Biggest demo at Faslane in a Decade
Today close on 1500 people gathered in the sun at Faslane naval base in the first of three protest events planned to call on the UK government to scrap the Trident nuclear weapons system.They travelled from as far afield as Assynt in the north, from Fort William, the Borders, and in large numbers from Glasgow, Edinburgh and the central belt.After walking along the site's northern perimeter they gathered at its north gate, filling the entry bell-mouth and the near side of the roadway. There they made a noise that could be heard in Westminster.
Penny Stone led the assemblage in singing Down by the Riverside (and study war no more), Bobby Nicolson performed his anti-Trident songs. Lisa Rigby revived the civil rights anthem Keep You Eyes on the Prize and poet Gerry Loose read poems with an anti Trident theme from his new book Fault Line while Scrap Trident's David Mackenzie read one of his own poems.
For many this was the first visit to the operational base of the UK's nuclear weapon submarines. The reaction of Murray Dickie from Stirling was typical. He said:
"Walking along the miles of razor wire-guarded perimeter fence you realise what a huge financial cost this place is – never mind the abomination of what's stored behind it. Great company, huge good spirits – awful contradiction with a nuclear arsenal just a few hundred metres away!"
People tied messages of their hopes for peace and disarmament all along the weld mesh perimeter fence. Three Samba Bands and the Protest in Harmony singing group contributed to the Carnival atmosphere.
Mainstream media coverage recognized the importance of this story. BBC reported that "Hundreds Protest Against Nuclear Weapons at Faslane" with a photo featuring Scottish CND's larger than life "Big Sandy" giant puppet. The Scotsman headline read: Carnival Atmosphere at Faslane Trident Protest." The Herald said "Nearly a thousand people gathered at Faslane." There was TV coverage by BBC Reporting Scotland which noted that "no arrests were made" and STV.
Scrap Trident is now planning a mass demonstration in Glasgow on Saturday the 28th of March and a blockade of Faslane on Monday 13th April in anticipation of the next general election. The next Westminster Parliament will determine whether to replace Trident at a cost of up to £100Bilion.
There are lots more photos on our Facebook page. If you have photos or know of more photos that we can add to the album please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com. And if you are thinking of joining us for the Big Blockade in April please drop us an email and keep checking back here for more information coming soon.
Well done everyone for a great day.
Green and Independent MSPs Say Scrap Trident
Stirling Uni Student Alasdair Ibbotson said:
First Minister Calls on UK to Not Replace Trident – MSPs Support Scrap Trident Protest
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and more than twenty MSPs today offered their support for the Scrap Trident demonstrators who will hold the largest protest in a decade at Faslane naval base on Sunday 30 November. [1]
Speaking in support of the demonstration First Minister Nicola Sturgeon urged "the UK Government to listen to these messages, to cancel their plans for the renewal of their nuclear weapons programme and to withdraw Trident nuclear weapons at the earliest opportunity."
The First Minister said: "My opposition to the possession of nuclear weapons and to the basing of Trident in Scotland is absolute and I offer my full support to the Scrap Trident Coalition. It is my goal, and the policy of the Scottish Government, to secure the withdrawal of nuclear weapons from Scotland and to support the pursuit of global nuclear disarmament. The Scottish Parliament voted to reaffirm its support for these goals on 6th August 2014.
"I agree strongly with the message of this demonstration and I offer the Scottish Government's support for a peaceful and lawful demonstration. Through such efforts, the public and civic society can demonstrate to the UK Government the democratic opposition that exists to the continued possession and threat of nuclear weapons.
"I urge the UK Government to listen to these messages, to cancel their plans for the renewal of their nuclear weapons programme and to withdraw Trident nuclear weapons at the earliest opportunity."
Twenty MSPs from the Scottish Greens, Labour, Independents and the Scottish National Party, including Michael Matheson MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Justice, on behalf of the First Minister, Patrick Harvie MSP, Co-Convenor of the Scottish Greens, and Neil Findlay MSP Scottish Labour Party stood with the Scrap Trident banner and activists at Scottish Parliament to show support for the Scrap Trident demonstration.
Patrick Harvie MSP (Scottish Greens) said: "Many people will share my deep disappointment that the referendum outcome has not allowed us to reject Trident in the way I would have liked. However, the anti-nuclear movement is one of longevity and determination, and the case in favour of Trident grows weaker all the time. We now have an opportunity in Scotland to make Trident one of the defining issues of the Westminster election."
Neil Findlay MSP (Labour) said: "The UK should not renew Trident. The cost of renewal would be better spent creating jobs, enabling our public services to pay a living wage to employees and building houses for rent. Trident is both morally and economically wrong".
Brian Larkin, Coordinator of the Edinburgh Peace and Justice Centre and one of the Scrap Trident organisers said "In 2016 the next Westminster government will decide whether to replace Trident and continue to deploy nuclear weapons for the next 50 years. But now, for the first time in a generation, with the surge of political engagement in Scotland, it seems possible that the replacement will not go ahead. A raft of anti-Trident Scottish MPs could hold the key to a nuclear free UK and even a nuclear free world. These Scrap Trident demonstrations are intended to ensure that the question of Trident replacement is firmly on the agenda."
According to Scrap Trident Coalition organisers the "Trident Still Has to Go Now" demonstration signals the beginning of a new phase in popular opposition to Trident in Scotland. Organisers say they expect more than 800 people to attend the demonstration, which will be the largest demonstration at Faslane in a decade. The Scrap Trident coalition has already announced a further demonstration in Glasgow 28 March and a blockade of Faslane 13 April 2015.
Partick Harvie MSP (Scottish Greens) said:
Join the Resistance and Scrap Trident!
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."
― Frederick Douglass
The mainstream media and professional politicians have long sought to define the limits of legitimate political protest. Those in power will always want us to play their game to their rules and when we don't they label us as unreasonable.
They will tell us that the matter is best left to the grey careeer politicians of the establishment – it is not.
They will tell us that the matter is complicated – it is not.
They will tell us that the matter is decided – it is not.
We have the right to protest weapons of mass destruction near our homes, towns and cities in the most effective ways we can find. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
We will not be constrained, we will not be sidelined, we will not be silenced.
We are not collaborators, we are not bystanders and we will not be victims – we are resistors. Our struggle may be difficult but doing nothing is not an option. Join us this Sunday, noon, at Faslane and become part of the resistance.
Cara Hilton MSP (Labour) supports Bairns Not Bombs
Cara Hilton, the MSP for Dunfermline,supports the Scrap Trident campaign. She told us:
It is hard to believe that at a time when children in the UK are going to school hungry, when pensioners can't afford to heat their homes and when the austerity agenda is resulting in cuts and challenges for our public services, welfare system and our NHS, that anyone could even contemplate spending billions on a weapons system that is largely irrelevant to the UK's defence needs and which undermines global efforts for a nuclear free world. We always hear that with less money around, we must face tough choices and so it's time for a public debate across the UK about whether investing billions in Trident is the best use of up to £100 billion of public money – or would we rather invest this is our schools, hospitals and fighting poverty?

Access "Avnet hands UK reins to Murphy"
This article is part of the July 2014 issue of MicroScope: July 2014
Avnet Technology Solutions continues to slot the pieces of its management team into place with Tony Madden being replaced as UK head for the distributor by long-serving staffer Miriam Murphy. Madden had been running the day-to-day operations of the UK since January, when Sukh Rayat was moved into a European role, and now will concentrate on his role as senior vice president, supplier business executive at Avnet Technology Solutions. Murphy has been with Avnet for 20 years and has recently been been busy overseeing the performance of the distributor in EMEA and will take up a post of senior vice president for the North region on 30 June, which includes the UK and Ireland. "This is a truly exciting time for the IT channel in terms of the market dynamics and evolution of technology.

Happily selling shoes at age 89
May be oldest of kind in Canada
Leonard Harris, 89, still drives to work downtown from his North End home three times a week. He turns 90 in October and figures he may be Canada's oldest shoe salesman.
He started working at Canadian Footwear when he was 73. Back then, he was a full-time employee. When he asked co-owner Brian Scharfstein for a job, he was told to come in on Saturdays and act as a greeter.
"They wanted me to put on a suit and be like one of those people at Walmart," Harris snorts. "I did it for two Saturdays and then said, 'Brian, I want a real job.' "
He was made a full-time "fitting specialist," working five days a week.
He cut back his hours in recent years, a reluctant concession to his age. His three adult children and some of his friends have asked why he doesn't just retire.
"I have no hobbies. I don't play bridge. I don't golf. I don't curl. And the dollars don't hurt, either."
He makes a little more than $13 an hour plus a two per cent commission if he hits a sales target. He says he averages about $1,000 a day in sales, down from his one-time average of $1,500 to $2,000. A much younger co-worker laughs that Harris's sales put his own to shame.
Harris feels at home at the shoe store, where he kibitzes with his co-workers and customers.
"I like the work. I like the people here. I think they like me. They haven't asked me to stop coming around."
He and his wife, Diane, recently celebrated their 50th anniversary.
He's been blessed with relatively good health. His vision is fine and his mind strong. Sixteen years ago, he had a quadruple bypass. About six years ago, he had surgery for a stomach aneurysm. Spondylosis in his spine causes him to hunch over when he walks. The slightly built octogenarian looks like a question mark as he shuffles through the store.
He has a bit of trouble with his breathing, he says. That slows him down. He goes to the Reh-Fit Centre three days a week, working the track with his walker.
Scharfstein calls Harris "an integral part of our business. He brings a lot of life."
Customers have mixed reactions to the elderly salesman, says the boss.
"We have those people who think he's the greatest, that it's wonderful he's still active and out," says Scharfstein. "There are people who will only come in when he's here. They want to help him carry boxes."
Not everyone's a fan.
"I've had really nasty phone calls and emails saying my wife and I are just awful that we make this poor old man work. We're not making him do anything! He loves being here."
Scharfstein recently had to tell Harris he can no longer work Saturdays.
"It's crazy-busy. Our staff keeps an eye on Leonard and they can't do that when we're so busy. We didn't want him up a ladder without anyone watching him."
The senior now uses the building elevator instead of taking the stairs to find the shoes customers request. His is a physical job in many ways. He bends over to measure a foot properly and then walks the store's various floors and backrooms to locate stock.
It's hard not to offer to give him a hand. Customers often do. "I tell them it's OK. It's my job. It's not their job."
Harris says he regrets his lack of formal education. "I didn't go to university. I remember in Grade 9 telling my mother I was done. I left for the big job that paid 10 cents an hour." He laughs.
Harris wasn't always a shoe salesman. He worked 50 years at Big 4 Sales and Stylerite. He began as a clerk and worked his way up to buyer. When owners Reuben Cristall and Max Gladstone sold the business, they negotiated a five-year, well-paying contract.
The new owner went bankrupt. Harris was in his 60s, but not ready to retire. He tried his hand in business, running a small North End department store. He kept busy and finally approached Scharfstein, who he'd known for years. A new career was born.
"I don't have any secrets," says Harris. "I like to work. I always have. I think we all want to feel useful."

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she has written for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business. She'll get around to them some day.
Lindor has received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She has earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and has been awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
She is married with four daughters. If her house was on fire and the kids and dog were safe, she'd grab her passport.

Lawsuit threatens to break new ground on the GPL and software licensing issues
GPLv2 is one of the most widely used FOSS licenses, if not the most. It is the license for some of the most important and commercially valuable FOSS projects, including the Linux kernel, whose contributors include such uncomfortable bedfellows as Oracle and Google, Intel and AMD, and Cisco and Huawei. If XimpleWare is right, and a license under GPLv2 offers no protection from the licensor's patents, Linux would be a landmine for these companies, and really for any company with fewer patents than IBM.
Even without an explicit patent grant, lawyers advising businesses on FOSS issues generally agree that GPLv2 protects licensees (at least those in compliance with the license terms) from patent suits by licensors. This is because the law provides for an implied license (or judicial estoppel) where a licensor's conduct leads the licensee to believe it will not be sued, or where fairness otherwise demands that the licensor should be prevented from suing. Because the GPL encourages licensees to copy, modify, and distribute the licensed software—all conduct that would infringe any patents on the software absent a license—licensees can reasonably expect that the software's producers won't sue them for doing those things. (Adam Pugh and Laura A. Majerus of Fenwick & West discuss GPLv2's implied patent license in greater detail in this paper.)

| A small note on window decorations If you have updated to the recently released GNOME development version, you may have noticed that some window decorations look slightly different. Of course it is quite normal for the theme to evolve with the rest of GNOME, but in this case the visual changes are actually the result of some bigger changes under the hood which deserve some more explanation. It is well-known that GTK+ gained support for client-side decorations a while ago – after all, most GNOME applications were quick in adopting custom titlebars, which have become one of the most distinguished patterns of GNOME 3 applications. However it is less well-known that client-side decorations may also be used for windows with no custom decorations, namely when using GDK's wayland backend. |

Transcript | Cat Habitat It is a privilege for the University to have a live mascot on campus. But this privilege has led to a stormy dispute between the Houston Animal Rights Team (HART) and the students who take care of the cougar. Shasta V, who turned eight this year, lives in a small cage on the lawn beside the E.Z. Cullen building. The students and spectators often see Shasta prowling around the cage gracefully, periodically stopping and surveying the campus around her. "She knows who's in charge," Cougar Guard Mike Bell said. Strong opposition to the cat living on campus comes from Sean Hawkins, founder of HART and a former UH student, who believes that keeping the cat in captivity is exploiting the animal. "Shasta has no business being on campus," said Hawkins. "A live, exotic animal has no place in an institution of higher education." This argument was opposed by the students who take good care of Shasta. Bell argues that setting Shasta free into the wild would endanger her life. She is used to people taking care of her and feeding her, and cannot hunt for food as she has lived in captivity all her life. The cat is not afraid of men, and she could fall prey to some human who could make a lot of money off her. To this Hawkins said that their motive is not to turn Shasta loose, but to find her a suitable home where she will not be "exploited" and where people can take care of her. Both the parties agree that the present conditions in which Shasta lives is definitely inadequate. The cage is very small and goes virtually unnoticed by a passerby. Funds pose a big problem in resolving this matter. Shasta's proposed new home would cost an estimated $125,000, said Adrianne Peck, Assistant to the Vice-President of Student Affairs. She said that only $14,000 had been collected so far; $111,000 has yet to be collected. Efforts to raise more funds included the Architecture students' "Buy- a-Brick," where students and organizations could purchase and decorate Cougar Guard members Christine Ellis and Mike Bell give Shasta exercise, as well as a chance to survey the campus. Photo by Richard Schmidt. their own $100-brick to Shasta's new home. "If students gave .40* a day, instead of buying a Snickers bar, our cat would have a better habitat," Students Association President Wendy Trachte said. People have criticized Shasta's current living condition, although it resembles her natural habitat, and her new home would mainly satisfy the human concern for the cat, said Paul Moore, Vice-President of Student Affairs. Hawkins, though, is not totally satisfied with the decision that Shasta will reside on campus. He argues that Shasta does not have a mate and that is mentally stressful for the cougar. Hawkins further added that Shasta, being a wild animal, could pose a risk to the Cougar Guards and the students if she became uncontrollable. Cougar Guard captain, Danny Barr, strongly disagreed. He said, "Shasta has never injured a spectator." The fact still remains that there has never been a single student or a spectator injured by a cougar since 1947, which was the first year that UH had a live mascot. Also Shasta does not require a mate as she was spayed when she was younger, Bell said. Hawkins, not totally convinced by the Cougar guards, said that he would like to see the animal off of campus. The Cougar guards, consider HARTs arguments totally ridiculous and still continue to take good care of Shasta and hope that she will move into her new home soon. — Sunil Thakkar Shasta V has lived on the UH campus for eight years — perhaps it's time for a change of scenery.

We're learning a bit more about who is – and isn't – going to be in President Barack Obama's second-term cabinet.
U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis (pictured) has submitted her resignation, CNN learned Wednesday. She said in a letter to colleagues that she discussed the matter with her family over the holidays in California has "decided to begin a new future."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, meanwhile, will remain in the cabinet for now, a White House official tells CNN. It's unclear how long Holder will stay into a second term, but the official said he and Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki are not expected to leave in the near future.
Obama's cabinet: Who's in, who's out?
President Barack Obama will nominate White House chief of staff Jack Lew to replace Timothy Geithner as treasury secretary, a source with knowledge of the nomination tells CNN.
The nomination is expected to be announced this week.
Obama's cabinet: Who's in, who's out?
A Republican and former U.S. Senator from Nebraska is expected to be nominated for secretary of defense, sources tell CNN.
The White House has told some senior members of Congress to expect President Obama to nominate Chuck Hagel as defense secretary, according to a knowledgeable source. Another source with knowledge of the nomination called it "locked down."
The timing is uncertain, but other sources have told CNN it could come early next week.

The appropriate reaction to the news that PepsiCo has reshuffled its senior marketing management—again—is laughter.
The number of recent reorganizations at the beverage and snack group is now beyond a joke. At least 26 senior marketing managers have left Pepsi since 2008, and that's not counting the managers who stay with the firm but are shuffled from one brand to another, from snacks to beverages.
And this reshuffling hurting sales, as Pepsi's own SEC disclosures show.
Pepsi seems to regard senior marketing talent as a commodity that can be interchangeably plugged and unplugged into its brands. This, of course, is complete nonsense: The soda and snack businesses are totally different. Even if they weren't, Pepsi right now could benefit from a period of simple stability, if only to stop itself making elementary errors such as its morbid new global can design. (That effort features deceased singer and suspected child molester Michael Jackson—the man whose hair was burned off by Pepsi on a 1984 commercial shoot—on new cans.)
Want proof? Look at PepsiCo's Q1 2012 results.
That decline is Pepsi and Diet Pepsi et al.—collapsing in the U.S., its heartland. If these reshuffles were working those numbers would look different.
Here, for the record, are the new names and titles, per Ad Age:
Confused? Of course you are. In this latest re-ordering, three of the six executives affected appear to be getting new titles even though they're basically working on the same business as before.
Pepsi's other recent missteps include:
Some numbers to go with the musical chairs.

Australian angle: Lee and Clark ready to add bite to attack
Tuesday 04 August 2009
Australia emerged from the Birmingham Test with heads held high and hope intact. Historians will look back at the scorecard and conclude that the match was easily saved.
It is rarely as calm as that in the dressing room where every ball is anxiously followed and players dare not move lest a wicket fall. Doubtless the visitors were counting every notch and every minute, at least in the morning as England pressed. Not that the hosts played their best game. Andrew Flintoff bowled too short, Jimmy Anderson was underused when it mattered and, in the modern fashion, third slip was left vacant at critical stages.
Over the years Australians have not been good at saving matches, or not since Ken "Slasher" MacKay retired anyhow. An Aussie once observed that "drawers are only good for bathing in". But here the incumbents put a high price on their wickets. No one pretends that these tourists are powerful but they are still alive and signs of improvement can be detected. Moreover Stuart Clark is fit and Brett Lee has declared himself available to play in Leeds. Not that Ricky Ponting will have a full pack at his disposal. Brad Haddin has a broken finger and his incisive batting will be missed.
Australia displayed the utmost resolution on the final day. Every batsman contributed something. Crucially, Shane Watson and Michael Hussey survived the opening hour. Seeking early wickets, a notably loquacious England attack beat the bat a few times but the overnighters were not cowed and replied with forthright strokes, a few misses and a couple of barbs. Here was the tit for tat for which Ashes crowds yearn, but were denied for the rest of the day as a dull pitch held sway.
Hussey has been in better form lately without producing the results. Here he unfurled a couple of corking cover drives. He was in his element – head down, defiant, his mission known, his game under control. Threading the ball through the covers, cutting crisply, he found a balance between defiance and adventure. Suddenly his bat had a meaty sound. The push to ditch him is premature. Bowlers are making him work harder for runs and he cannot expect to be as dominant. His career has been unusual in that his debut and peak occurred at the same time, to be followed a year later by a typically dry second season and alleged decline.
Shane Watson looked the part. In some respects his second effort was superior to his first. He had spent a long time in the field and the novelty of opening had worn off. Moreover the new ball bowling was more demanding. And still he looked solid and showed the courage expected from an opener. Watson deserves further opportunities. Now he must convert 50s into hundreds.
Michael Clarke, the most flowing of batsmen, and Marcus North, among the more durable, also held firm as England fell back. It was like watching a cheetah and a buffalo bat together. North's on-drive against Ravi Bopara was the shot of the match and he followed with two more ornate boundaries. Of course second innings runs are all very well but they seldom win matches. Until these batsmen put pressure on their opponents it is hard to see Australia taking a Test.
Even the bowlers hinted that better days may lie ahead. Mitchell Johnson swung a few deliveries and hit the bat handle a couple of times. Still, changes are needed. This quartet has not given England enough headaches in the first three matches so the selectors need to try someone else – Clark, and even Lee. They are not exactly novices. Certainly the visitors cannot afford to wait for the fifth Test. If England arrive at The Oval one up the pitch will be as docile as Donovan. On the other hand if the hosts need to win an outbreak of fusarium can be expected.

Does anyone have access to the book "Lee County, Virginia death register, 1853-1877" by E.M. Carpenter? What I am looking for is added detail about a curiosity I ran across while checking the 1860 Lee County Virginia mortality schedule. In the list of deaths (covering the latter half of 1859 and first half of 1860), two men on the same page are listed as having been murdered in September [1859] - they were Richard D. Crabtree, aged 32, and John A. Bell, aged 26. In my experience, one almost never runs into murders in the same month in the same locale without the deaths being connected somehow. So this mortality schedule report makes me wonder whether the county death register had anything more illuminating when it recorded the deaths of Mr. Crabtree and Mr. Bell?

Hi Dennis, While at the Fairhaven Cemetery in Santa Ana, CA, I took photos of the headstones for both Milton R Kellogg and Mae E Kellogg. We have some Kelloggs in our line, so thought we might be related. You can view the headstone and a photo of Milton Ray at http://tinyurl.com/yarqaw9 . Or, search findagrave.com for Fairhaven Cemetery in Orange County, CA and look for both Milton R and Mae E Kellogg. He is at Find A Grave Memorial# 29806778 and she is at Find A Grave Memorial# 49661559. Best regards, Craig |

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Tonight Piers Morgan sits down with Lenny Kravitz for the hour to talk about the love of his life, his parents and much more. Kravitz's parents split up because his dad had a long history of cheating. When his dad was getting ready to move out he walked up to Kravitz and "he said, 'You'll do it, too.' And he walked out," describes Kravitz.
His dad's words really stuck with him after his dad left and inevitably it did affect him. "There were times where I did not behave properly," he says. "But I did let him know that it was really detrimental." Tune in at 9pm ET/PT for the full interview.
-– » Follow Piers Morgan Tonight on Twitter
Love Lenny but his Mom didn't have the first network inter racial kiss. That honor goes to William Shatner and Michelle Nicholson Star Trek in the 60's. I also believe Adam West and Eartha Kitt smoothced in the 1966 Batman series.
Excellent interview. Its good to have connected with him; albeit, one-sided. He's a fantastic artist.
I love Lenny! !!! I have a daughter that is black and white just like Lenny (I'm black Dad is white). So it's great to have someone she loves in entertainment that she can relate to.
If you take the time and observe the offspring of mixed race marriages, you might just notice, as I do, that the result is something much better than the individuals that started the child. The time will arrive when there will be one race – the Human Race. Everybody will have the same skin tone, same hair type, etc. but there will still be tose that think they're the best thing that has ever happened to this world.
Black and White America... I can totally relate because I am. Growing up in the south was no joke. I am so looking forward to seeing Lenny in Lee Daniels next film about Dr King. . Recently, For My wedding gift ( November 19th) My husband and I flew to Munich, Germany on Tuesday for one day to attend Lenny's concert on the 22nd and back to Houston the next morning, Thanksgiving. Lenny was amazing/ sound. lights/ the dramatic vibe opening... amazing. He opened the concert with COME ON GET IT....so, I'm doing what Mr Kravitz said by coming to get the Signed Autographed Album as indicated on air :-))).....After that kind of dedication and support and traveling so far to support Lenny as an artist/ creative force....don't you think I deserve it??????.I am putting it out there in the universe. Ask/ Align and Receive. I appreciate you Lenny!!!!
Excellent interview including information on his life growing up as a biracial child...I'm writing a book about the reflections of multiracial people, called "Check One Box: Reflections on Race, Ethnicity, and Color", and I'd LOVE to feature him in it! As a radio host, I respect his talent, individuality, and musicianship...as a fellow human being, I appreciate his openness and transparency during your interview! JOB WELL DONE!
I think what his father said to him upon leaving was terribly sad, cowardly and damaging.
I love, love, love Lenny! Loved the interview! I am just a simple, middle-aged, wife and mother from central Iowa, but I think Lenny is smart and talented and just incredible. I am fascinated by his life story and I would treasure a signed copy of Black and White America, a terrific album which signifies that we are all the same, we need to be the same, we need to feel the love and show the love to everyone. Lenny, you are the best!!!! Please please please select me for a signed copy, I think you are terrific!!!!!!
great interview thank you
Loved hearing about how Lenny has evolved into a true natural man & l love his artistry. Black and white America means so much. From the beautiful diverse ethnicity of it's people to the not so beautiful, rigid, oppressive, and shameful way it's government treats the people that makes up it's very fabric. From Black to White, America has it all – but has a long way to go to reach it's potential in living up to it's motto – freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. God's people are blessed no matter what country they live in. Just love each other and all will be well.

Bangkok 'baby factory' includes twins from Aus woman's eggs
Relevant offers
A twin boy and girl who came from eggs donated by an Australian woman were among 21 babies documented in a Bangkok "baby factory" condominium in the Thai capital.
Thai authorities say the 21 babies were in addition to 15 fathered in Thailand by 24-year-old Japanese businessman Mitsutoki Shigeta through 11 Thai surrogate mothers.
Nine of the babies were taken from the condominium in the suburb of Lad Phrao almost two weeks ago amid a crackdown on surrogacy, and are being cared for in a Bangkok orphanage, their future uncertain.
Police have discovered that donor eggs used in in vitro fertilisation that produced the 21 babies came from Australia, the US, Sweden, China, Spain, Brazil, Malaysia and Israel. The babies were registered at the condominium from late 2013 to June 2014, according to records obtained by police.
Fairfax Media has obtained the names of the twins produced with donor eggs from Australia, whose whereabouts are not known. Police are investigating whether they have been taken to Australia. They were registered at the condominium in April.
Nine of the 21 babies came from eggs donated by a Spanish woman.
The revelations of Shigeta's activities have shocked many Thais and follow Fairfax Media breaking the news of the plight of Gammy, the critically unwell baby with Down syndrome who was left behind in Thailand by Australian David Farnell, a convicted child sex offender.
The story prompted Thailand's military rulers to shut down Thailand's commercial surrogacy industry, leaving an estimated 200 Australian couples facing bureaucratic hurdles and months of waiting to learn if they will be able to take their babies home.
Thai authorities have declared that biological parents must obtain a court order showing the birth mother grants parental authority to them before they can leave the country with the babies.
At least three Australian couples carrying their babies have been turned back from Bangkok airport in recent days.
Australia's ambassador in Bangkok, James Wise, is seeking an urgent meeting with the military regime to argue that the Australians entered into surrogacy agreements in good faith and transitional arrangements should be put in place to allow them to take their babies before the enacting of legislation that will outlaw surrogacy, except involving family members.
Thai police want to question Shigeta, who has left Thailand, over his motive for having fathered 15 babies, four of whom are believed to be in Cambodia where he holds a Cambodian passport and has business interests. Police say there is no evidence linking Shigeta to human trafficking.
They say an "adviser" to Shigeta has invited them to travel to Cambodia see how well four children there are being cared for.
Thai immigration officials have confirmed Shigeta travelled from Bangkok to Phnom Penh more than 40 times and on several occasions had taken babies with him.
Initially a lawyer and former drug squad policeman representing Shigeta said the Japanese businessman wanted the babies so they could take over his business when they grow up. But that lawyer no longer represents him.
Thai media have reported that Shigeta is believed to have fathered three more babies in India before commercial surrogacy was shut down there last year.
He wanted one clinic to provide facilities in the condominium so he could store his frozen sperm, according to Thai media reports.
One unconfirmed report in the Japan Times said Shigeta told staff of one fertility clinic in Bangkok he wanted to have 10 to 15 babies a year.
"The best thing I can do for the world is to leave the world many children," the report quoted Shigeta as saying.

Senator Pat Toomey - A Science Denier, Still
2 days ago
Thanks, Cara. Just recently a friend of mine in the political community brought to me an idea for a way that our local blogs (political, sports, pigeon-related, and general interest blogs) can all generate material support from among our readers for worthy causes on a much, much more regular basis -- causes that often will be closer to home. It's very exciting sounding. Look forward to an e-mail from somebody this week.

'One of our own'
When it comes to raising money from business, O'Brien connects with women execs; Romney draws from range of industry chiefs
Who's with Whom?
- Edward Mason
- Journal Staff
As Election Day fast approaches, Democrat Shannon O'Brien and Republican Mitt Romney, the two leading candidates for governor, have received a windfall of contributions from Massachusetts business leaders, who are funneling tens of thousands of dollars toward the campaigns in an effort to swing the tight race.
Women business executives, in particular, are coming to the aid of O'Brien. In addition to writing checks furiously for the current state treasurer, they are recruiting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to attend a stretch-run, Oct. 30 luncheon fund-raiser at the posh Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel.
Chiefs of Massachusetts' most prominent private equity, venture capital and consulting firms, as well as leaders of traditional businesses, meanwhile, have flocked to the side of Romney, supplementing the more than $3 million that the wealthy Belmont businessman loaned his campaign earlier this month.
Yet, as the money pours in, the flow has not drowned out nagging concerns about both candidates. For O'Brien, it's years spent on Beacon Hill. For Romney, it's the sense that he is rarely seen among local business executives.
Still, the last-minute push to raise money is going ahead full force, in particular in the O'Brien camp. Scheduled for Oct. 30 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, the Hillary Clinton fund-raiser was organized by a cadre of high-powered, female business executives, including Barbara Lee, the politically active ex-wife of buyout king Thomas H. Lee. Not surprisingly, O'Brien's attraction is a combination of gender and experience, her supporters say.
"This is the first time one of my own could be governor. That is really exciting," said Sheryl Marshall, managing partner of Axxon Capital LLC, a Boston venture firm that targets female entrepreneurs for investment.
"In many ways, a lot of businesswomen see a lot of themselves in Shannon," added Mary Anne Marsh, a consultant with Boston's Dewey Square Associates and an O'Brien supporter. "Like her, they've worked hard, moved up the ladder and have tried to make a difference. They clearly believe she's going to fight for them."
But O'Brien, the state treasurer, also has attracted some of the biggest names in the Boston business community, who have given as much as the legally imposed $500 annual limit on contributions to a single candidate.
In addition to the women expected to be in attendance at the Clinton fund-raiser � the second O'Brien fund-raiser featuring a Clinton (the other one being an Oct. 10 event with Bill Clinton) � bigwigs who have written checks for O'Brien include Amos Hostetter, former chairman and chief executive of Continental Cable; Justin Morreale, the Bingham McCutchen LLP attorney who oversaw the auction of the Boston Red Sox; Joseph Tucci, EMC Corp.'s chief executive; and Charles Glovsky of State Street Research & Management Co.
Her alliance with venture capitalist Christopher Gabrieli, the lieutenant governor candidate, has also netted private-equity players, such as David Fialkow, co-founder of General Catalyst.
In raising that money, O'Brien also is taking advantage of connections she has made to business interests during her four years as treasurer. "Shannon is not a stranger to the business community," said Larry Rasky, a longtime Democratic consultant.
Romney, too, enjoys the benefits of being a known quantity to business leaders here. He enjoys broad financial support in the private-equity community as well as the high-tech industry.
But he also has recently garnered money from the likes of Wayne Budd, executive vice president and counsel of John Hancock Financial Services Inc.; Richard DeWolfe, former real estate executive and current Boston University trustee; Gary DiCamillo, former head of Polaroid Corp. and now chief executive of TAC Worldwide Cos.; and Jeremy Jacobs, owner of the Boston Bruins and the FleetCenter.
Although Romney has been able to turn to such high-powered executives in recent weeks, the influx of cash may conceal a narrower support within the broader business community than commonly accepted, campaign observers say.
"Romney is only a known commodity in certain segments," noted Rasky. "He's not active in the traditional organizations," such as Associated Industries of Massachusetts and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
A Romney supporter, instrumental in persuading the former Olympics chief to speak before the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, said he's chided the campaign for not getting Romney before groups where he could get his message across. That could be a critical difference in a close race for a Republican in a predominantly Democratic state.
Also hurting Romney is the campaign's negative tone. "It's disappointing that there is very little discussion of issues," said Alan Macdonald, executive director of the Massachusetts Business Roundtable.
Although the negative campaign climate has been created by both candidates, it has made it difficult for Romney to increase his familiarity to voters, business leaders said. Yet it hasn't closed the contribution spigot, as finance executives continue to give to Romney and attorneys and female executives help finance O'Brien, said George Pillsbury, director of the Massachusetts Money and Politics Project.
Perhaps the hottest ticket in town is for the Oct. 30 fund-raiser featuring Sen. Clinton. The tickets, which sell for between $125 and $500, are moving fast.
Said Beth Boland, an attorney with Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky & Popeo PC, "This is the easiest sell."
