parallel tracks in fresh snow - a Reynard Male foxes are known as dogs or Reynards, females as vixens, and young as kits, pups or cubs. A group of foxes is a "skulk", "leash", "troop" or "earth". Please see the About section for the photograph which had sparked a lively discussion what animal had made these tracks. It was stated that foxes leave tracks in a single file and the double line of tracks had thrown most people off the scent.... My contribution to the discussion: "Yes, it looks as if it might be the same animal, traveling in both directions - if you look at the slant of the indentations of the two tracks..."

What do you call it when you're sexually attracted to men (I'm a girl), but you can also appreciate female beauty? I'm straight and would not want a woman as a sexual partner. However, it's not unusual when I see a beautiful woman to think "damn, she's smokin'" the same way I might think "wow, he's a hunk" when I see an attractive guy. I also realize I have the capacity for 'girl crushes'--usually when I find another women admirable, not even in a sexual way or anything. I might admire her for her skill, personality, or expertise, as well as her physical beauty. What's up with that?
I've been in a relationship with my current boyfriend for a year now, and we've been having sexual intercourse for around 8 months. Throughout this time, I have NEVER reached an orgasm through sex, but because I thought I was the weird abnormal one, and was afraid of how my boyfriend may react, I since have faked it every single time which we have had sex. Sex is alright, but I now just want to tell him. But how do I explain to him that this isn't his fault without him being hurt and upset? Please help me because I really don't know what to do!
My boyfriend and I hang out a lot at his house and every time we make out he lays me down and tries to get me to have sex but I'm not sure if I'm ready. I always stop him saying I have to leave. How do I know when I'm ready to have sex with him.
An extra toothbrush. Check! Enough underwear to go a month without doing wash. Oh yeah. A bedspread carefully coordinated to compliment your roommate's? Well, maybe not. In any case, your bags are packed, the family van is heaving under all the weight, and you can't wait to start a new, exciting phase of your life.
But along with all the material items you're bringing, don't forget to prepare for the emotional and interpersonal chances and challenges awaiting you.

MS man uses toothpick as paintbrush, creates beautiful art
Jones County, MS (WDAM) — Terry Bustin cannot read or write, but he can paint.
"Somehow I decided to try a toothpick, and I've been using it ever since," said Bustin.
He has been painting for over 40 years, and the themes of his paintings range from wildlife to Civil War era, to anything in his imagination, all using a toothpick.
"I just like drawing," said Bustin. "There's another one I'm going to start on after this one."
His sister-in-law, Karen, said he spends all day painting, sometimes even working through meals.
"I think he knows he's pretty good, but I don't think he realizes how good he is," she said.

Duluth can boast of something most cities could only dream of. The Duluth Lakewalk, or Boardwalk, as it's sometimes called, is the most picturesque trail in the city. It stretches over four miles along the shoreline of Lake Superior and the North Shore Scenic Railroad takes a few daily trips along the Lakewalk; part of the fun is waving to the passengers on board.
The scenic path begins at the Bayfront Park Pavilion, just to the west of the DECC (Duluth Entertainment Convention Center) on the water's edge. You will walk past the Great Lakes Aquarium, a fairly new attraction in the city of Duluth. The walk then takes you through the Canal Park area of Duluth, where you will find the famous Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge and the Lake Superior Marine Museum. Here, there are many retail stores, restaurants, ice cream shops and more. Many benches line the Lakewalk, and there are historic plaques explaining ship artifacts and other interesting spots along the waterfront.For example, there is a white band-shell shaped Vietnam Memorial (as you can see in the photo on the right) that stands as a reminder of the local heroes that have fallen in the Vietnam War. There is also a Korean Veteran's Memorial nearby, stating the names of residents who served in the Korean War.
On a lighter note, the next sight you come across is Fitger's Brewery Complex, an eclectic mix of restaurants, creative shops, bookstores and a four star hotel. It was once the largest brewery in the area, but was closed down in 1972; it was later renovated and reopened as the complex it is today in 1984. As you walk through it, you can still see reminders of days gone by, including copper beer vats for brewing, old brick walls, and even an old transport tunnel. Visiting Fitger's is a very enjoyable experience for the whole family.
After you pass Fitger's, you will see a stretch of shops above the Duluth Lakewalk, including the popular Portland Malt Shoppe. Once an old gas station, this serves up the richest malts in town. Ice cream cones and sundaes are also on the menu. Eventually you'll reach Leif Erikson Park, named after the early Viking explorer. It's a great place to sight-see and to just plain relax. Take the footbridge up from the park to get to Duluth's Rose Garden and you can view nearly 3000 rose bushes and thousands of other flowers and plants.
If you decide to walk the whole Duluth Lakewalk towards the east, you will find yourself walking underneath busy London Road and over to the Lakewalk Extension. It goes for about two more miles to 47th Avenue East. You will walk alongside the railroad tracks and come to Tischer Creek. One of the prettiest vistas is a breathtaking view overlooking the creek from atop an iron and wooden bridge. This portion winds through neighborhoods and finally ends up in Lakeside, one of Duluth's easternmost neighborhoods.
The Duluth Lakewalk provides such a unique opportunity to access so many different historical and entertainment attractions that Duluth has to offer. For this reason, it is extremely popular with tourists and locals alike. The many different beautiful views of Lake Superior and Duluth doesn't hurt either!

I would refer you to the following definition of noise in the Devil's Dictionary:
"A stench in the ear. The chief product and authenticating sign of civilization."
I am unfortunately reminded of this as a commuter of many decades on the London Underground.
I have used a noise measurement device to measure the tube (not rail) platform & carriage announcements and can confirm that they regularly exceed recommended pollution levels. The problem is not the unavoidable transit noises but the announcements, which are bellowed out at a volume responsible for my continuous tinnitus.
Could TFL Underground be persuaded be persuaded to lessen the savage volume of their announcements? This would allow TFL to continue in its evolution, which is another "chief product and authenticating sign of civilization."
If the author is referring to the US "Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010" this act states that "The sound shall be a continuous sound associated with a motor vehicle in operation" and sounds such as sirens, chimes, bells, a melody, etc. are not permitted. One section of the act suggests that recordings of sounds produced by internal combustion engines be used to create the pedestrian alert sound, as described in US Patent 7,979,147 B1 held by this writer.
Just in case you don't think it is a good idea to vent your anger by pressing on a keyboard and sounding mean, here is another one for you.

Shotguns have sold well in America. Tolerance is usually the custom. Many would think that patience and long-suffering will lead to the possible conversion of corporate dicks from money hungry greedy pigs to something resembling a human being. I doubt it is possible. The more we empower idiots the more idiots will do idiot things that bother us. I recommend buying into either Smith and Wesson, Colt or even that guy in Vegas that sells better AK-47's. Of course some of us idiodonios still will try forever to change the world by convincing our enemies that we are right. It doesn't matter that we never went to their superior colleges or high brow dinner parties. W3e just plain follow a special secret creedo. Don't lie, cheat or steal. Plus many other norms of ancient Greek Kingdoms that are implied in every football play we execute. The big game is now at my High School. Today the big game is going to be on the football pitch. Thursday it will be at the chess club. My own friends and local people are all that matter to me. Think Local, Gut Globals.
Verizon Corp as all in these days of the drak age of corps wants more money and less vrility and more dumb dudes. Read the stuff I found at the computer world site> Can you afford a 500 dollar an hour lawyer to get your connection to work right? If not just do what I do, hang out with the Copton gang members, they are far more interesting than your idiot TV or Interahabnet.
I worked for GTE for 6 years, surviving withing the corp implied high ethical standars and overlooking the excesses of our managers. To turn a big bad corp into an entitety which might benefit humanity is impossible. Best to just collect unemployment or welfare and stay away from the death system now in place.
IDG News Service - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in a historic vote Tuesday, approved network neutrality rules prohibiting broadband providers from blocking customer access to legal Web content, but many consumer groups decried the new regulations as weak and full of loopholes.
The new rules provide fewer protections for mobile broadband subscribers and may lead to a fractured Internet, critics said. The new rules, a compromise championed by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, would bar wireline-based broadband providers -- but not mobile broadband providers -- from "unreasonable discrimination" against Web traffic, prompting some consumer groups to call the rules "fake" net neutrality.
Genachowski's plan, approved after more than seven years of debate about whether net neutrality rules are needed, also contains several loopholes for broadband providers, critics said, including an exception for managed services separate from the public Internet.
But Genachowski defended the rules as "strong and balanced."

I love to jam The Who for free by linking my PC to my AIWA and ghetto blasting my "whitey" neighbors. They are all asleep and productive members of "Putting out the Light" as elucidated by Pink Floyd in The Wall. Blasting truth from a PC is better than riding through town on a horse and yelling "The British are comming". Ramp up the volume to the max, and play your favorite tune. Those who attempt to silence you are the enemies of freedom.

Hello everyone! I somehow lost track of time, but that's because I was wiki editing and working too much. It's all right since we can catch up together. After a whole of doing the tables for the Quick Picks: July 2013 Edition, Mushibugyo is a nice break. This blog is going to be short. I'm a little brain dead.
Let's hit up with a mix of summary and impressions. Oh, don't forget to hit up the Mushibugyo Discussion. I love to chat here or there. This series just needs a bit more love.
Episode 13 was a recap episode complete with fan service of three lovely ladies.
I don't know if we're going to see our self-conscious-about-her-breast-size news reporter. She disappeared. It wasn't a bad episode. It didn't give anything new, but it delivered sultry bath scenes. I love how they keep emphasizing how Insect Magistrate cannot stop thinking of Jinbei. Now, there are three girls who are in love with Jinbei. Jinbei is one clueless player. Regarding Hibachi, she doesn't show it, but her recap included Jinbei.
This episode had a lot of grisly scenes where an insect man named Sarutobi chowed down on the people of Edo. Meanwhile, Jinbei and the others got all powered up from training. It also showcases two minor characters who haven't had a lot of spotlight. The names escape me since I haven't done the wiki pages for this anime series enough. With his Fuji Hammer technique mastered, he just swatted every ninja fly into the ground. I love that part.
Where did Mugai go? It has been a while since I seen him.
In this episode, Jinbei's fan boy, Ieshige, reveals how much of a fan boy he is to Insect Magistrate. I love how the two got rowdy over Haru shoving her bazingas over Jinbei. Also, it reveals Jinbei's mother for the first time. It's quite amusing to see Jinbei's dad sharing how he got married after being reminded by Haru's boobs. Lots of boobage in this episode. Though, there was a bloody scene where an insectman who looked like one of those Sentai Rangers just smashed through a pile of corpse. Yeah, I just want to slap the staff for having fun with the violence.
Insect Magistrate, Ooka, and Jinbei are taking a lovely trip to Kishuu. It's strange yet amusing that Ooka, the smartest guy in Edo, doesn't realize that Insect Magistrate is in love with Jinbei. I just love how she reacts with Jinbei. Sorry guys and gals, I just find her cute and adorable than the rest of the female cast. Haru is sexy, but she is a flat character. Hibachi has spunk and a bit of tsundere in herself. I like tsunderes, too. Insect Magistrate blows Hibachi away.
For action, Jinbei's fight with that one Insect Man was awesome. It revealed that these insect men were once human. It makes sense how these guys can fight so well. The bad stuff about this episode was the whole right and wrong montage. It drag on a bit long.
I hope you guys and gals enjoy the rest of Mushibugyo. It is full of cliches and tropes such as damsel in distress. If you don't mind the cliches, the heavy fan service, and the heavy violence with censorship, this show is for you.
Meanwhile, I should add some news characters to the wiki project!

The Department of Computer Science at UNC-Chapel Hill hosts approximately 1,500 visitors each year for various outreach activities. Our main areas of outreach include demonstrations for group visits, enabling technology demonstrations, collaborative outreach, conferences & competitions.
Department Visits
School and Extracurricular Groups
As a part of the Department's outreach program, we invite high school and middle school students from across the state to visit and experience the exciting world of computer science. During this event, school and extracurricular groups get to participate in hands-on demonstrations, visit research labs to find out what computing is all about and talk with current students about why they chose Computer Science @ Carolina. Faculty will also be on hand to talk with students about what you can do with a CS degree and about the companies that employ our graduates.
The demonstrations are popular among students and are meant to encourage all who participate to take higher-level math courses in high school.
The Department's outreach places special emphasis on increasing the number of women in Computer Science. We partner with the Women and Mathematics (WAM) mentoring program which has brought more than 400 eighth-grade girls and their mentors to the Department to watch demos and also to discuss computer science with female faculty members and graduate students.
Our Fall 2014 Middle School/High School Open House will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2014 from 11a.m. – 2p.m.

Synaptic inhibition within the hippocampus dentate gyrus serves a 'low-pass filtering' function that protects against hyperexcitability that leads to temporal lobe seizures. Here we demonstrate that calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel accessory beta4 subunits serve as key regulators of intrinsic firing properties that contribute to the low-pass filtering function of dentate granule cells. Notably, a critical beta4 subunit function is to preclude BK channels from contributing to membrane repolarization and thereby broaden action potentials. Longer-duration action potentials secondarily recruit SK channels, leading to greater spike frequency adaptation and reduced firing rates. In contrast, granule cells from beta4 knockout mice show a gain-of-function for BK channels that sharpens action potentials and supports higher firing rates. Consistent with breakdown of the dentate filter, beta4 knockouts show distinctive seizures emanating from the temporal cortex, demonstrating a unique nonsynaptic mechanism for gate control of hippocampal synchronization leading to temporal lobe epilepsy.

Motor Trend's Head 2 Head: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 vs 1968 Porsche 911L!
Late 60′s Corvette-Porsche Rivalry on Video
Dateline: 2-10-15 – Motor Trend has taken the car magazine experience to a whole new level with their video productions. And having the videos up on YouTube is just too sweet. This video was published last August and somehow I missed it. What'a matchup: The 1967 427/435 Corvette Sting Ray Roadster vs the 1968 Porsche 911 L.
Both cars are period perfect. What the Corvette has in brute force and beautiful stereo-music booming from the factory side-pipes, the Porsche makes up for in better braking experience thanks to the 911's low weight and agility due to quicker steering. If you go strictly by the numbers, the Corvette slams the 911L. However, the driving experience isn't just about 0-60 and ¼-mile times.
Back in the day, the argument between the two camps was finesse and agility vs raw power, with both sides "sniffing" at one another. It was a ton of fun! Both cars deliver an exhilarating driving experience. In the end, our lucky dog host had to go with the Corvette for its sheer power and visceral entertainment.
Enjoy the video, it's a blast from the past!
I have to share this with you because the Marlboro Maroon Corvette in the motor Trend video is the dead ringer for the story I want to share. Continue reading
10-5-65 The Running Mako Shark II Was Shown To The Automotive Press – WOW!
October 5, 1966, the Running Mako Shark-II Debuts at the Paris Auto Show
Forty-Nine years ago today, October 5, 1965, the automotive press got to see the first, running Mako Shark-II show car at the Paris Auto Show in France. The non-running full-size model of the Mako Shark-II had been shown in April '65 at the New York Auto Show and was a knock-out. The response was so overwhelming, Chevrolet brass quickly decided to build a running prototype for the next phase of development.
As V.P. of Design, Bill Mitchell laid out what he wanted the next Corvette to be. See if you can follow this.
He wanted the following; "a narrow, slim, center section and coupe body, a tapered tail, an all-of-a-piece blending of the upper and lower portions of the body through the center (avoiding the look of a roof added to a body), and prominent wheels with their protective fenders distinctly separate from the main body, yet grafted organically to it."

Dave MacDonald Inducted Into National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame
Corvette Racing Legend, Dave MacDonald Inducted Into National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame
Dateline: 9-27-14 Auto racing legend Dave MacDonald was inducted into The National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame on August 28, 2014, in Bowling Green, Kentucky. MacDonald's induction took place 50 years after the extremely talented young driver was tragically killed in his rookie race at the 1964 Indy 500 that also claimed the life of driver Eddie Sachs. After the race, an investigation determined that there was, "No driver error."
MacDonald learned his driving skills in Southern California behind the wheel of several championship-winning first generation Corvettes. A gentle, quiet family man off the track, MacDonald was known as "The Master of Oversteer" and a fierce competitor. His driving skills were such that they attracted the attention of two other legends in auto racing of that time, Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov and Carroll Shelby. MacDonald drove prototype test cars for Duntov and was eventually hired by Shelby to drive Cobras professionally.
His induction into The National Corvette Museum's Hall of Fame was well deserved and more than a little overdue. Regardless, Dave MacDonald now has a prominent and permanent place in Corvette history.
I have written extensively about the life and times of Dave MacDonald and have had the pleasure of getting to know the MacDonald family. I have Dave MacDonald's younger brother Doug to thank. Many years ago I created a piece of line art for VETTE Magazine as a column filler "spot art" illustration. Later I included the illustration as an art print on my IllustratedCorvetteSeries.com website and mistakenly titled the print, "Dave MacDonald's 1961 Corvette Racer."

Corvette C1-C7 in Review…The Most Successful Car in Detroit History?
Illustrated Corvette Series No. 200 1953 – 2014 Corvette
"DETROIT'S ULTIMATE SUCCESS STORY?" by K Scott Teeters as originally published in Vette magazine
In the February 2014 issue of VETTE Magazine, I celebrated my 200th installment of The Illustrated Corvette Series with a look back at the entire history of the Corvette. The title of the column is, "DETROIT'S ULTIMATE SUCCESS STORY?" The Corvette has come a very long way from being a car that many inside GM wanted to kill off to becoming General Motors' flagship halo car.
While the article in VETTE only shows one Corvette from all seven generations of Corvettes, I wanted to do something extra special. So, I created the 1' x 3', "Seven Generations of Corvettes 1953-2014 Corvettes" art print, available through our Fine Art America store, HERE.
The print is available in a variety of sizes and can be custom framed right from the site.
Here is the story……..
2013 may be remembered as the most extraordinary year in Corvette history. Not only was 2013 the last year of the sixth generation Corvette, it was also the 60th anniversary of the first Corvette. The only way it could have been better was if the C7 have been released as a '13 model. Arguably, the C7 was the most anticipated Corvette ever seen. Continue reading

Vette Videos: Hail to the 1967 L71 427/435 Big-Block Corvette!!!
Dateline: 9.3.12
A video romp salute to one of the sweetest-sounding bad-boy Corvettes ever!
When you play the video, turn the sound WAY UP!
Okay, lets get this part out of the way first. True, true – a modern C6 Z06 or ZR1 Corvette can easily walk away from anything from the big-block days – HANDS DOWN! But as our pal Mike Beal once told us, the difference between modern Corvettes and the big-block Corvettes from the olden days is that the newer cars deliver "controlled horsepower." The old big-block Corvettes delivered "EXPLOSIVE horsepower." Not only that, but there was a guttural rumble that let even the uninitiated know that this was one bad-ass machine.
I intuitively understood this the very first time I ever encountered a 427/435 big-block. It was the summer of 1968, I was just 14 years old and a serious model car builder. In the town next to where I lived in Collingswood, New Jersey, there was (and still is) a small hobby shop called, Sattlers Trains & Hobbies. While their main business was HO gauge electric trains, they had a big selection of model car kits. Continue reading
August Auction Action – Watch RM Monterey and Mecum Monterey, Live!
Dateline: 8.15.12
A BIG weekend for Corvettes on the block!
It's turning out to be a very interesting weekend for Corvettes at the high-end car auctions, with two big-time events going off at about the same time and area. I checked the RM Auctions website and saw that they have updated their home page and added a "VIEW AUCTION LIVE" link at the top of their homepage. So, they made it easy for us. Auction action starts at 6:60 PM Pacific time (9:30 Eastern Time). If you click the page link before the scheduled start time, all you'll see is a black box where the streaming video will be. This won't change until the event starts. After the feed begins, look for the button to Fill Screen, kick back, and enjoy!
If you're mainly interested in the Owens-Corning 1968 L88 racer, the lot number is 141. The numbering begins with #101, a 1953 Hudson Hornet. So with 40 cars before the Owens-Corning car, it'll be a few hours before the old war horse Corvette comes thundering upon the stage.
But if you love old cars and racing machines, the auction is a treat. Not only do you get to see the numbers ring up, but before the bidding begins, they describe the car, show photos and videos, as well as letting you get a good look at the car on the turntable. Most of the cars at the RM event are really special and have been lovingly restored and cared for. The marque almost doesn't matter, they're just wonderful machines. Continue reading
Book Review: Corvette Sixty Years – by Randy Leffingwell
Dateline: 7.5.12
A Most Excellent Addition To Your Corvette Library
I've been collecting car magazines and car books since the mid-'60s. My library has gotten larger than I ever imagined. There's one book that I accidentally bought three times. I have four different versions of essentially the same book authored by Randy Leffingwell and published by Motorbooks. All four versions are very nice books, loaded with excellent images and well written prose by Leffingwell. But each time I bought the book online, I thought I was getting a different book because the covers and sizes are all different.
So, when I saw that Motorbooks was publishing "Corvette Sixty Years," I was holding out in hopes of a totally new book and not a shuffled around version of the previous "Corvette Fifty Years" with some updated C5 and C6 material. I was NOT disappointed! Leffingwell and MBI have delivered the goods! The book is, for me, a visual delight. You see, when you have as many books and magazines as I have, you've probably seem nearly all of the old vintage photos showing the design and development work on the Corvette. At least, that's what I thought!
1963 Corvette – The First Production Sting Ray
Dateline: 5.16.12
The Illustrated Corvette Series "First" continuities with a look back at the FIRST production Sting Ray.
A few years ago, someone created a series of Chevrolet billboards using classic, iconic images of some of the most popular Chevrolet cars. Naturally, there were several layouts featuring Corvettes. While this is a totally biased opinion, I think the above "The Original American Idol" is the best. Four words sum it up perfectly and the back end of the one and only, split-window coupe says a thousand words.
Our friend and VETTE Magazine founding editor, Marty Schorr, recently posted a review of the new 911 Porsche Carrera S at his CarGuyChronicles.com blog site. Writer, Howard Walker expounds on the fact that while the latest version of the classic 911 shares no hardware what-so-ever with the original and first '63 911, the spirit of the original 911 is still in tact. It's an amazing combination of the rear-engine layout and the fact that the car still "looks" like a 911, only bigger and much better. I have often wondered what today's Corvette would look like had Bill Mitchell never designed the game changing Mako Shark II. As I have written here in stories about Mitchell's Mako Corvettes, the Mako Shark II was so astonishing, it simply HAD TO BE the next Corvette. End of conversation! And, we've moved on from there.
So, buckle up and lets take a blast back to 1963 for a look-see at the first production Sting Ray! – Scott
I call the Corvette the "The American Automotive Horatio Alger Story." It's the ultimate automotive rags-to-riches story. You could also call it an automotive Cinderella story. While the C6 has taken more flack than it deserves, it's good to look back to the very beginning to get a really clear picture of how far the Corvette has come in 60 years. Today, new designs are market researched, but in the '50s, it was a seat-of-the-pants approach, driven by men with strong personalities. "Father" of the Corvette, Harley Earl, was the director of GM's "Art and Color Section." from 1927 to 1958. His successor, William L. Mitchell picked up the mantle and drove the Corvette where Earl never imagined.
The Sting Ray design began in '57 as the Q-Corvette concept and morphed into Mitchell's weekend warrior Stingray Racer. Mitchell wanted to go racing, and do some informal market research. By '59, the Corvette was due for a change and Mitchell had the design already worked out. Late in '59, Mitchell assigned stylist Larry Shinoda to make a full-size, clay coupe version the Stingray Racer. By April '60 Continue reading

Rally Seeks Action On Refugee Kids
by Jordi Gassó | Jul 23, 2014 7:01 am

Posted to: Immigrants
"Governor, no more excuses!"
The plea resonated throughout the parking lot of the former Gateway Community College Long Wharf campus. The phrase "not one more deportation" emblazoned a placard in Spanish. Another one read, in capital letters, "We didn't cross the border. The border crossed us."
Brandishing these posters and banners, over 50 immigration activists and community members convened at 60 Sargent Dr. Tuesday afternoon to protest Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's dismissal of a federal request to temporarily house up to 2,000 undocumented children from Central America.
The rally stressed the plight of these displaced minors, who have crossed the southern U.S. border often in flight from violence, and called for comprehensive action from Malloy to ensure their well-being in Connecticut. Activists also sought to put a human face on the issue: several Guatemalan children, most of whom crossed the border little over a month ago, spoke up during the event to share their stories of hardship and hopes for asylum.
Activists and community leaders took turns to address the gathering crowd. Alok Bhatt, of the Connecticut Immigrant Rights Alliance, read off a list of demands that included forming a statewide task force, enforcing the TRUST Act to curb deportations, and making state facilities available other than the old Southbury training school, the site the feds had sought to have Malloy open to 2,000 children. Malloy responded that the facility is too dangerous and an inappropriate place for warehousing people.
"The governor himself has admitted that there are smaller state facilities that are suitable for housing children," Bhatt said. Organizers held the rally outside the now empty former Gateway building to demonstrate that alternative sites exist. Bhatt told the Independent the rally was not meant to endorse that particular site, but to highlight the existence of unused locations across the state.
Kica Matos, director of immigrant rights & racial justice at the Center for Community Change, commended the efforts of Massachusetts, Vermont and New York — states, she said, that have "gone out of [their] way" to absorb the influx of undocumented children and find them housing.
"And has our governor responded favorably?" Matos asked.
"No!" the crowd chanted.
"Is that a shame?" she continued.
"Yes!" they responded.
Malloy: We're Working On It
Since Malloy's refusal last week to utilize the Southbury facility, and the backlash from immigration advocates, his administration has instructed the Department of Children and Families to provide assistance to those children with relatives in Connecticut. Rally organizers hope this rally will spur the governor into taking a more meaningful and lasting approach toward the current immigration crisis.
In a statement issued after the rally, Malloy reported that the DCF has so far placed 320 children with families in Connecticut, and that his administration is looking at the possibility of using the old Gateway site. He added: "However, I do not believe that the long-term detention of minors is the appropriate policy."
"I continue to work closely with the federal government on this important issue," Malloy reported. "Today, I participated in a conference call with the White House and the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. It appears that substantial progress has been made to diminish the need for housing children for extended periods in large scale institutional settings. For example, the facility at Nogales now houses 22 children, down from more than 1,000. Much of this work has been accomplished by pursuing the appropriate step of placing children as quickly as possible with relatives, a position that we have advocated for the past week."
But for John Lugo, of Unidad Latina en Acción, "the DCF move doesn't make any sense. We don't need the DCF if there are already families waiting," he said in an interview at the rally. "It's demagogy. Some kind of solution that is not a real solution."
As he talked to the crowd, Lugo (pictured at the top of the story) admonished elected officials at the local and federal level for "playing politics" and worrying more about elections than looking after young immigrants.
Guatemalans Speak Out
Lugo, Matos said, has been attempting to relocate about 30 undocumented Guatemalan mothers and children who have recently come to New Haven to reunite with their loved ones. Children such as Wendy, who spoke into the microphone and said she didn't want to be thinking every day about returning to the violence in her hometown. Antonia, who pleaded for compassion from the American government.
Or young Edwin (pictured), who said he wanted an opportunity to live in peace.
Then there was Lidia González, a mother carrying her toddler, who asked for a halt to deportations.
"I'm terrified of going back to my country," she said in Spanish.
Hazel Mencos Jiménez, 13, recounted in an interview how she left Guatemala to escape the menace of gangs and killings. Hazel, pictured, said she traveled all the way to Connecticut without a chaperone, passing through Mexico with little to no food or water.
"Whenever we made stops, drug dealers in our group would threaten to kidnap us, and other people in the group wouldn't let that happen," she said.
She was detained in San Antonio after crossing the border, and a month later she was reconnected in West Haven with her mother, whom she hadn't seen in eight years.
The horror of her story notwithstanding, Hazel was forthcoming and friendly at the rally. A lawyer is currently helping her to obtain asylum, she said.
For advocates such as Rosario Caicedo, harrowing journeys like Hazel's call attention to the humanitarian crisis driving the surge in young unaccompanied immigrants. Caicedo, pictured, volunteers with Unidad Latina, and was a social worker in New Haven for over 30 years.
"It takes enormous courage and desperation to cross a border," she said.
Mayors in New Haven and Bridgeport have already expressed interest in housing some of the 2,000 children. New Haven mayoral Chief of Staff Tomas Reyes said Tuesday afternoon that other cities have been brought into the conversation about presenting a plan to Malloy soon; he also said religious and other community groups have offered to help find homes for children. "We want to make sure it's humane," Reyes said. "We're not going to warehouse children."
To fail to respond in a meaningful way, Kica Matos said in an interview, would be a step backwards for the state.
"This decision doesn't align with the values of Connecticut residents," she said. "Malloy's position is also inconsistent with that of other state leaders."

As a conservative I don't really get what the issue is with either party balking on this. Our country was made because people left far away lands to make a better life here. Were some of them criminals? Of course, we are too worried about being safe these days. These are children ffs. Of course America should take them in.

Sagimore, you make a great point.
Additionally, many of the Europeans who came here came as children alone. Including my great-grandmother from Ireland and 9 years old. Never went to school, neer got a licence, went right to work in factories for rest of her life. Raised kids who fought in WWII, they had Baby Boomers and here I am today ...American as apple pie. This is how it works. This is how it always has worked.
But….it seems that one side of the debate doesn't want to know their history or look at this rationally or with compassion. They want to suggest that the children coming here are part of a scheme by Obama (see Ted Cruz, Rick Perry) or part of an Al Qaeda plot (see TX Rep. McCaul) or similar to the Nazi occupation of France, seriously (see Gohmert).
How can we move forward on anythings with 'leaders' like these? No republican would even hear your level-headed, straight-forward, honest approach to the situation.

Many issues:
1) Consistency; is it right if we have rules but only enforce them with certain people and not others?
2) Rules; should we have none?
3) Politicking; CT politicians are too eager to beg for federal funds that could very easily dry up, putting more burden on local taxpayers.
4) Sensibility; creating large scale orphanages is a Dickensian/Orwellian step backwards.
5) Gangs; if its true that many of these "orphans" are actually teenage males, it's very possible that they are involved with the gangs the media says the "orphans" are fleeing.
6) Reality; one commenter put it better than me; there are poor, desperate people all over the world and we can't be everything to everyone.

To ignore the racial element involved here is to ignore the issue completely. If America is a land of immigrants, all except the indigenous people who were already here, and the African people who were forcible brought here, why such much angst about taking "these people" coming here?
I'll tell you why. These people represent the further browning of America, that's why. The white, ruling, power elite in America see the hand-writing on the wall. They are losing their numerical majority status. And an influx of even more people of color is just one of the issues they fight so hard against as it may tend to quicken the pace at which this lost occurs.
How ironic, or more like oxymoronic, that those fighting so hard to "protect our borders" from hurting and distressed CHILDREN are the same people who claim they are trying to turn America back to the so-called Christian values of this country's founders. (Whatever happened to the Christian principle expressed in Luke 18:16?)
Interestingly enough, they are right. For, the values held dear by this country's founders permitted them to steal from and slaughter the Natives, enslave Africans, marginalize women, and set up a government that claimed liberty for all but allowed only a few to enjoy it.
Today's conservatives are attempting to conserve a form and function of government that operates best for a few wealthy white men while making most of us little more than pawns on their board. Their ability to do so, they fear, might diminish with their diminished numbers in relation to other racial groups. Now of course, there are too many people outside of that limited group who are willing to go along with them, as long as their individual desires are met. The large community, be damned!
But the goal remains.

I appreciate the dilemma created for so many people who both want to have a working immigration policy and yet recognize a human crisis at the border.
This influx of refugees from South America reminds me of the Jews who fled Nazi Germany only to be refused safe harbor by so many countries. As a result, most of them died in concentration camps.
When it comes to protecting human life, how can anything trump that?

Robn the majority of world the lives in Asia. Over 2.5 billion people live in China and India alone. When has there ever been a problem with Chinese emigration other then after the railroad was built? To throw around 7bn without actually qualitifying it is intellectually dishonest.

The relevance is that during our open door policy lasting until the 1920's (n/I a few very embarrassing moments such as the Chinese Exclusion Act) there were far fewer people in the world. It isn't just people from Central America who want to come here and we don't have room for everyone.

Dwightstreater, the germanic jews of the thirties were persecuted in a country that wanted them dead and or gone, these people have a country of their own.
If we let everyone here who comes from a bad country, what's the motivation to increase the living conditions in their land?
We have a city with a crumbling infrastructure and schools in new haven with a less then 50% graduation rate for black males, kids that are hungry, crack and heroin running rampant and still a large portion of our population un or underinsured.

Ellantonio is ignoring the threats to these children's lives that they have spoken about and that news reports confirm.
Sometimes we just have to stretch ourselves to meet the situation.
As for taking care of our own, start taxing the wealthy non-profits like Yale Corp. and the hospital, raise the income tax on the 1% and lower the real property tax everywhere and get rid of the nuisance taxes and life will improve for everyone.
Aren't you tired of subsidizing Yale????

read this
even the immigrants that came though ellis island had to go through a certain amount of bureaucracy.
I have stood by undocumented residents in their battle because I do have a family member or 2 that may have came here illegally back in the 1800's. I stood and spoke out for our city to be a sanctuary city. And I still stand by that.
I will share a story that stays in my heart . I worked at a circuit board factory many moons ago. (they relocated to Mexico) I worked with this women from Tibet. Her and her now husband fled their country and lived on the boarders of India. Every year there were 1000 spaces for people to come to America. Just 1000. They repeatedly applied till they were finally sent to some housing place in the Midwest. They made it after years of being in limbo
Here is another one I knew a women from Columbia who lived on the boarders of Canada she to was there waiting to be able to come into America legally she fled a horrible life.
My neighbor was living in poverty in Jamaica she to did it legally and 11 years later is now a US citizen.
Another friend came from Hati who was only 13 at the time found a way to come here legally and was able to one by one get her family here legally.
I know a young man from Ecuador who was able to come here legally because he to was fleeing some military thing that he was part of and was given a work visa.
point is we have a world of people… Middle east with bombs and all, Asia, Europe, Africa starvation. That are living is similar and even more desperate situations. Each of these places have a certain amount a people that can come here in any given year. What do we do?? really I am being serious. If we bend the rules for one we would need to do it for all.

Part 2
Do we have the resource to handle such an influx? We have homelessness climbing. No jobs. Food and energy prices going through the roof. Taxes climbing locally and nationally. I am not saying to send these mothers and children to their deaths. But the numbers are growing everyday… and how we handle this at this point in time will dictate how many more come…..100,000 500,000??? And again Many in the middle east want to come here, they are fleeing bombs right now. And the crap that is happening is Africa everyday. So do we take a few million in….can we handle it? Do we have the resources. These really are the hard questions that have to be asked.
99.9% of the time I am on the same page as you. And I get the doing what is right as humans. I like to think of myself a liberal most times. But I also think we have to be realistic. That is why this country is in a debate over this. If we say yes and take the people in holding right now…..will that open the door to millions? Can we handle that? I honestly do feel bad in my heart and in no way want to turn these people away. But we do it everyday to so many people around the world. That is why we have the laws set in place…because we can only do so much. L And yes we should be going after yale…but we both know that will never happen they have deep pockets. In the mean time you and I both see the children in this city that need and we do not have all the resources to help them.

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

*But only if they have a legal citizen relative already here
**If you don't have mad skillz offer basically only applies to whites
***I mean "real" white people, not that Mediterranean/Latin junk.
****"Also people will scream "Come here legally" to you despite the fact if it's post 1922 you have no legal way to come here and pretend their ancestors were somehow different from yours, because in their day they could show up with little money and broken English and be hated by a good deal of the native population but not be tainted with the "illegal" semantic"
