Tuesday, July 19, 2011
Wipro Infotech, the India, Middle East and Africa, IT Business unit of Wipro Ltd and a leading provider of IT and business transformation services, announced today that the Employees State Insurance Corporations (ESIC) insurance portal is up and running in full swing and available for use to all stakeholders.
ESIC is a statutory corporation under the Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India (GoI), and is the implementing agency of a pioneering, Social Security Scheme in India. The IT enablement project named Project Panchdeep was awarded to Wipro in 2009. This announcement is in the wake of a technical issue which had affected the functioning of the portal for the last couple of weeks.
Anand Sankaran, Senior Vice President and Business Head, India, Middle East and Africa, Wipro said: The technical problem is completely resolved now, and the system is back to normal performance. The problem occurred due to a unique technical issue with the application software. We leveraged our global technical resources to identify and resolve the issue in the shortest possible time. I believe, we have traversed a long and exciting journey since our association began with ESIC in early 2009. We are extremely proud to be a part of such a program which touches the lives of a big section of our society, and are absolutely committed to ensuring the success of this implementation.
Dr. C S Kedar, DG, ESIC said The portal was experiencing some technical problem because of which employers were having trouble accessing the application to generate their monthly contribution and register their employees. Wipro identified the problem and put in place a solution to resolve the issue. The application performance has since improved and the portal is up and running once again.
Undoubtedly the largest e-governance contract to date (in excess of Rs 1,000 crores), Project Panchdeep comprises five important components namely Pehchan, Milap, Pashan, Dhanwantri and Pragati. Project Pehchan includes all services related to identification, authentication and verification of Insured Persons (IPs) through the use of biometric cards. The other four components include Milap for all services related to provisioning network and bandwidth; Pashan for all services related to hardware for Data Centre, Disaster Recovery, desktops/PCs/Laptops and middleware ; Dhanwantri for all services related to hospitals and dispensaries and finally Pragati for all services related to Insurance and ERP modules.
Project Panchdeep provides online facilities to employers and insured people for registration, payment of premium and disbursement of cash benefits. It also automates medicare services to all insured people resulting in the creation of one of the largest medical records database in the world. The project includes other modules like HR, Finance and General Administration programs aimed at increasing the operational efficiency of ESIC. With this implementation, all ESIC stakeholders can avail anytime, anywhere healthcare services from across 2000+ ESIC locations spread across the country which have been networked as part of the project.

UNC Health Care to start asking for payments from uninsured
UNC Health Care, suffering from growing losses for uncompensated care, is going to start seeking co-payments from patients qualifying for charity care and requiring deposits from uninsured patients.
Under the new plan, which will go into effect April 20, the hospital system will request from those patients between $20 and $100 for services. Fees vary depending on the type of service and whether the patient is uninsured or qualifies for charity care. The payments will be required at the time of the patient's visit.
"We have a tidal wave of indigent patients coming to us these days as a result of the economic turmoil and rising unemployment rate in North Carolina," says CEO Bill Roper. "It's unsustainable. We can't continue in this mode for long."
Bizspace Spotlight
UNC Health Care is struggling to maintain revenue as it doles out care to those who are unable to pay. In 2004, the cost of the hospital system's uncompensated care totalled $140 million. This year, it is expected to surpass $270 million. Next year, the projection is for more than $300 million.
Uncompensated care includes charity care for those whose incomes are less than 250 percent of the federal poverty line, uncollected debt, and the difference between what Medicare reimburses the health system and what the procedures cost.
The hospital system has no estimates for how much the new policy will reduce its uncompensated care losses. Hospital spokeswoman Karen McCall says UNC will be monitoring the impact to make sure the plan is working.
Under the plan, non-emergency patients who say they cannot pay will be directed to one of the hospital system's financial counselors, who will evaluate patients' ability to pay. Federal law dictates that the hospital treat emergency cases regardless of ability to pay.
The counselors will look to see if the patients qualify for Medicaid, some other benefit – such as workers' compensation – or charity care. If they are deemed indigent and unable to pay, they will be provided free service, says Roper. If they are able to pay, they will be charged the deposit or copay.
"We believe forthrightly in asking people to pay for care if they are able to," Roper says. "I think the average North Carolinian will agree with that."
Those without insurance will be refunded part of their deposit should treatment cost less, though Roper says most treatments cost more than the deposits they are charging.
The policy applies only to UNC Hospitals and its affiliated physicians. Rex Healthcare is not included.
UNC Hospitals has received criticism in the past for its efforts to collect payment from patients. In 2007, UNC Hospitals was criticized for overly aggressive bill collection practices. In one instance, the hospital placed a $185,300 lien on a patient's home. Bowing to the criticism, the hospital dropped the lien and wrote off the debt.
Roper says the new plan is not as aggressive and keeps in line with the hospital's mission to provide care to all North Carolinians.

Video of Calif. police entering house, TASERing man criticized
Officers arrived at the home because of a domestic disturbance call, and wanted to confirm everyone was safe
By PoliceOne Staff
COTATI, Calif. — A video of a man and his wife refusing to let officers into their home after a domestic disturbance call has raised questions about whether the officers acted correctly when they entered and TASERed the man.
James Wood, 33, was arguing loudly with his wife when a neighbor apparently called 911, prompting police to arrive at his front door minutes later, according to CBS Bay Area.
Wood claimed that four officers appeared, each with their weapons drawn, demanding to come inside the home.
"I asked several times, 'What am I being accused of?'" Wood told news sources. "And when they didn't answer, I asked, 'do you have a search warrant?' And they said, 'No, we don't need one.' And I was like, 'you're not getting in here. I am not opening that door.'"
The video shows the officers force their way into the home and fire an ECD at Wood, causing his wife to shriek.
In a press release, Cotati Police said the officers' actions were justified because it was a call for domestic violence, and as such, the officers could not leave without making sure everyone inside the apartment was safe.
"To do so would be a neglect of duty," said the statement. "Due to the exigent circumstances, the officers were forced to kick the door open in order to enter the apartment. Constitutional law allows for officers to make entries under these types of circumstances without a warrant."
Wood was arrested and charged with obstructing an officer and false imprisonment, according to the article.

Lake Winnipeg declared threatened lake of year
A global environmental fund has put Lake Winnipeg on the map -- and that's a threat.
The Global Nature Fund has declared the world's 10th-largest fresh water lake the "threatened lake of the year" for 2013.
"Our lake is tremendously precious," said Vicki Burns, outreach co-ordinator for the Lake Winnipeg Foundation. "When it gets in this position, it raises huge red flags around the world."
Her group nominated Lake Winnipeg.
Environmental organizations have long decried the amount of phosphorus and nutrients flowing into Lake Winnipeg via sewage waste, agricultural chemicals and livestock manure. The materials have triggered the growth of potentially toxic blue-green algae blooms during the last decade.
The group that named Lake Winnipeg the world's most threatened is a non-profit group headquartered in Radolfzell, Germany. It was founded in 1998 with the objective of fostering the protection of nature, the environment and animals. Its Living Lakes project, which includes the Threatened Lake of the Year, is an official UN Decade Project for the years 2012 and 2013.
"It's extending now to a global scale," noted Alex Salki, a science advisory council chairman for the LWF. "And it's not like receiving an award. Definitely, it's a wake-up call."
In a news release, Global Nature Fund spokesman Udo Gattenlohner said that while Lake Winnipeg is well-known, its "dramatic environmental problems" are not. "Many people in Germany and throughout Europe believe environmental problems hardly occur in Canada," Gattenlohner said. "However, recent changes in Canadian policies seem to be eroding the protection particularly of vulnerable water ecosystems -- and it is disappointing because this does not really fit with our image of Canada."
Bob Sandford, chairman of the Canadian Partnership Initiative in support of the UN Water for Life Decade, said: "Lake Winnipeg has at last been identified internationally as one of the world's great fresh water disasters, just as many scientists predicted.
"Despite the efforts and good intentions of concerned Manitobans, Canada's international environmental reputation has been downgraded to below that of a developing nation."
Manitoba Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh noted the designation underlines the need for stakeholders -- governments, industry, agriculture and residents -- to band together in a basin-wide approach. "It's always good to be reminded our great lake is in peril," he said. "We need to take this to a new level."
Mackintosh cited recent provincial announcements, such as the $3.5-million partnership with Ducks Unlimited to protect the Delta Marsh and $600,000 for initiatives to restore the lake, along with plans to develop a Lake Winnipeg Basin Accord. "We still have nets full of fish and beaches full of people," Mackintosh added. "But we have to enhance our efforts to keep it that way."
The largest contributor to Lake Winnipeg phosphorous is from treated Winnipeg sewage dumped into the Red River. That will be reduced in four to six years when the city completes a $1.8-billion sewage-treatment overhaul.

No watering necessary with this book-page bouquet. For the beautiful, vibrant flowers in the bouquet, use a watercolor wash (mix watercolor paint with water) to paint cast-off pages from old novels.
To make your own flower bouquet, all you need is an old novel, watercolor, glue, and florist's wire. Cut petal shapes from the paper and crinkle to make them more pliable, then straighten.
To make a petal, pinch the bottom of the cutout piece to create a curved shape. Glue petals together one by one. Let dry. Roll back the edges to open the bloom.
To finish off the flower, insert florist's wire into the bottom of the bloom for a stem. Secure with glue. Finally, gather your bouquet for a beautiful finished product, perfect for a dinner table centerpiece.
Create conversation at the dinner table with this beautifully aged runner. A discarded book with soft, worn pages works best. Lay the pages flat on the floor in the length and width you'd like your runner. On the back, carefully tape the pages together. Use a crafts decorative-edge punch to create a border that suits your style.
Impress party guests with playful book-page pinwheels atop decorated cupcakes. Bend a pin at a 90-degree angle with needle-nose pliers. Cut a 4-inch square from a ready-to-recycle book page. Make a diagonal cut from each corner halfway to the center of the square. Roll every other corner to the center.
With the pin, poke a hole through all the layers at the center of the pinwheel. Add a drop of glue to the end of a hollow lollipop stick, and push the pin into the stick. Use a pinwheel to adorn any sweet treat.
Take a page from the great outdoors with this pretty flower-theme paper garland. Accordion-fold an aged book page. Fold in half and trim the ends into a curve. Repeat with a second page. Using string, tie the two folded pages together at the center, and glue the ends to form a circle.
A pearl sticker center adds a pretty touch. Create as many flowers as your garland requires. Thread a needle and string it through the tie on the back side of each flower. Add a dot of glue to keep the rosettes in place on the garland.
Repurpose a book with a beautiful cover, but damaged pages, into a frame for a favorite photo. Using a crafts knife, carefully cut a rectangle from the front of the book. To create a mat, cut a few inside pages into a rectangular hold that's a bit smaller than the cover hole. Secure the pages to the cover with glue. Then tape a photo in place. Be creative -- choose a fave photo that relates to the book title!

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This report formally transmits the attached briefing in response to section 343(a) of The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. No. 111-84). The Act requires the Comptroller General to provide a report on the sustainment strategy for the AV-8B Harrier aircraft and provide the results to the congressional defense committees no later than 180 days after the enactment of the Act. On April 26, 2010, we provided the briefing to your offices to satisfy the mandate.
Because the AV-8B Harrier aircraft sustainment strategy does not detail how the Navy will measure the execution of all the responsibilities of the organizations accountable for coordinating AV-8B maintenance events, the Single Process Owners; we are recommending that the Navy develop and implement metrics for evaluating the execution of all the stated Single Process Owners' responsibilities. A draft was sent to the Department of Defense and no comments were provided.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Navy has developed and implemented metrics to evaluate the execution of key responsibilities for Single Process Owners and incorporated them into the revised AV-8B Performance Based Agreement, which was signed on November 29, 2010. Specifically, turnaround time goals and workload hours with firm fixed price rate will be used to evaluate coordination of the maintenance workload. Also, the identification of common processes will be used to select the most efficient practices and to standardize on workload processes replicated at all Single Process Owner sites.
Recommendation: To properly evaluate the execution of all the Single Process Owners' stated responsibilities in coordinating the AV-8B PMI-2/3 workload, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Navy to develop and implement additional metrics for evaluating each of the Single Process Owners' stated responsibilities and incorporate these metrics in the AV-8B Performance Based Agreement.

LearnLiberty.org Launches!
Intellectual Takeout is excited to help announce that the Institute for Humane Studies has a great new website devoted to making classical liberal, educational content available to everyone.
From the "About Us":
Welcome to LearnLiberty.org, a resource for learning about the ideas of a free society. Our goal is to provide a starting point for conversations on important questions:
- What is the nature of man and society?
- What are the best ways to organize human society?
- What is the proper role for government?
We believe that the classical liberal or libertarian tradition can offer compelling answers to these questions. Classical liberal ideas have deep intellectual roots, cultivated by thinkers such as John Locke, Adam Smith, the American Founders, and more recent scholars such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. These scholars emphasize the importance of free markets, voluntary exchange, individual rights, and peace. For a brief introduction to classical liberalism, watch this talk by Dr. Nigel Ashford:
Classical liberal thinkers do not agree on everything, and the speakers on LearnLiberty.org are no exception. We believe exploring and discussing these ideas is so important precisely because we do not all agree. We hope you will join our conversation, and help advance the understanding of these important ideas.
Through LearnLiberty.org video, podcasts, and other content, college professors and public intellectuals provide a resource for understanding:
- Foundational principles and concepts drawn from disciplines such as economics, philosophy, history, political science, and law
- Contemporary issues and policy debates that impact individual liberty.
As you explore the site, we encourage you to offer feedback. This is a new, experimental project, so your comments will be critical in helping us to improve.
You can check out many more videos at LearnLiberty.org. It's fantastic! Also, to learn about the Institute for Humane Studies, click here.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
A favorite travel destination is the seaside small town—a place with salt air, beaches, shingled houses, and seafood on every menu. And a great way to get there is by car, making stops along the way.
In this course, photographer Mikkel Aaland travels to Mendocino, a classic seaside small town in Northern California, making stops in Mendocino's Anderson Valley and redwood forests along the way. The course details the gear and shooting strategies involved in capturing the personality of a small town and, just as important, its natural setting and the people who live there. Throughout the course, Mikkel emphasizes the importance of putting your own creative stamp on your travel photos through the use of simple props, friends, or family members.
Okay, so we've been here about three days now and done a lot, seen a lot. I've been up the coast photographed up at Fort Bragg, we've been to the Redwoods, we've been to the lighthouse. A little bit of exploring here in town, this is Mendocino. It's kind of the heart and the central area around here of only about 1,100 people. It's a small town. I guess it was founded back in the 19th century as a lumber town. But it's a, it's a really cute town.
It's like this, I can see why people live here and I can see why people come here. There're a couple things I can see right away, this town has that's unique. And, and the, the first thing you notice are these water towers that are everywhere. And I want to photograph them and, and there, this is definitely something that will make this town, the pictures of this town unique. And the other thing are these wonderful kind of wild, cultivated slash cultivated gardens that people have that I haven't really seen anything quite like it. It's a mixture of wild plants and cultivated plants.
And then there's the old Victorians that are sprinkled all throughout town. So I think I've kind of been here long enough to see that those are the main aspects of the town, besides of course the people, who are wonderful characters. But I'm going to stroll around, and just kind of, my eyes will probably stray to those three areas, the gardens, the water tower, and the houses. And I'm just going to take, take pictures. I have to, of course, pay attention to where the sun is, so I'm limited by, by where the sun is in position to the buildings.
But mostly, it's just going to be me strolling around taking pictures and following my eyes. So, let's go.

On July 3rd, there was a solidarity demonstration against repression in Mexico, organized outside the Mexican Consulate in Indianapolis, USA.
The text of the flyer distributed during the demonstration:
On June 16, 2015, the Anarchist Black Cross-Mexico, an anti-repression organization, released word describing an escalation of the harassment and surveillance they experience at the hands of the Mexican state.
This is just the latest clamp down doled out by the Mexican government:
– In September of 2014, 43 student rebels from a rural teachers college in Guerrero who were involved in educational protests were disappeared, likely by local law enforcement and crime syndicates. Demonstrations in response to the kidnappings have been met with continued violence by the police. Nearly a year later, only one of the bodies has been found.
– At the beginning of June 2015, a militant teacher, Juan Villegas Tenorio, was beaten to death by police during a protest. Two other teachers at the event were beaten by police but survived.
– An increasing number of revolutionaries are facing long prison sentences, including Abraham Cortes, who was recently sentenced to 5 years and 9 months. Other anarchist prisoners currently facing extreme prison sentences include Fernando Barcenas and Fernando Sotelo.
– A new hunger strike has been announced in the prisons around Mexico City. The primary demand in this hunger strike is the end of torture in the prisons.
– Since the beginning of June, protests have erupted across Mexico, including a demonstration by 6,000 teachers at the city center in Oaxaca. These protests call for a boycott of the elections: "To Vote Is To Lie."
With all this repressive violence, the Mexican state hopes to control popular rage, but it's only succeeding in spreading resistance. We are here at the Mexican consulate today to call attention to these struggles, and to express our solidarity with these diverse rebels, and others who suffer at the hands of the state. We hope this is a small step toward spreading these rebellions.
Down with every border and prison!
– in Spanish soon –
In the last few years, we have seen how the escalation of repression has intensified around the libertarian and anarchist movement through the strategies used here in Mexico City: Setting very high bond amounts, and applying the same package of charges, always aggravated, without giving much importance to the specific situation, but rather to what the State dictates. Persecution and finger-pointing in the media as a basic element of their set-up: Noting the names of groups of people or spaces (whether they exist or not), making up relationships that really don't exist, comparing everyone and everything from a vertical point of view, trying fit us into a schematic of leadership. Of course, this demonstrates a deep ignorance and/or contempt for anarchist ideas, which have nothing to do with this kind of hierarchical logic.
On the other hand, we have the government's efforts to qualify anarchism or "anarchic conduct" under the judicial classification of terrorism, applying severe charges and operating under maximum security parameters, only to withdraw the charges, with the argument that they lack sufficient evidence – but always leaving the open threat that "investigations continue." Nonsensical investigations, plagued with arbitrary references to groups and individuals that exist in very different spaces.
This is all paralleled by police monitoring and surveillance of certain individuals in an attempt to intimidate them, as well as provocations against certain autonomous spaces.
Framed by this strategy, and alongside many other comrades, groups, and collectives, the name of Cruz Negra Anarquista México [Anarchist Black Cross–Mexico] has come to stand out among the notes, "investigations" and political or police declarations.
We believe it is important to make it publicly known that in the past few weeks, individuals who seem to be part of the Mexico City police "investigation" have shown up outside of some of our houses and workplaces, threatening our neighbors and family members and arguing that they are doing security and surveillance work.
Beyond calling for an end to this persecution, we are making this public report as a wake-up call: We know that repression is intrinsic to the state that we have declared as our enemy. We know that its jails and its police are the foundation of its power and its domination. And we know that our work around anti-prison thinking, support, and accompaniment of imprisoned comrades is directly contradictory to this power and domination.
But we also know that SOLIDARITY BETWEEN ANARCHISTS IS NOT JUST WORDS ON PAPER!
In this context, we ask individuals, collectives, and affinity groups, the comrades we have worked with in the last few years, to be attentive, and to continue to provide the same solidarity that we have received up to this point.
Down with prison walls!
Freedom for everyone!
Anarchist Black Cross–Mexico
original in Spanish (June 16, 2015); in Greek
This year, Bloomington held a week of activities leading up to June 11th:
June 2: A benefit raised $350 for Eric King, an anarchist held captive in Kansas awaiting trial for an alleged incendiary attack on a Congressman's office.
June 6: An assembly was held to discuss prison projects and recent struggles of revolutionary prisoners and prison rebels.
June 8: A card and letter writing night for anarchist prisoners was held. A few letters were written and cards were signed for 20 anarchist prisoners in the United States.
June 9: The Pages to Prisoners Project held a 12-hour 'packathon' event where people responded to prisoners' letters and put together packages of books.
June 10: A film showing of Lucio, a documentary about anarchist counterfeiter Lucio Urtubia.
June 11: A microphone demonstration was held at the town square with a dozen comrades handing out literature and holding banners. A sound system played Sean Swain's 2015 June 11th statement, an interview with Michael Kimble, and interviews about June 11th and Sean's recent struggles. Banners included "Free Marius Mason and All Prisoners" and "Free the Anarchist Fighters" with the names of long-term anarchist prisoners in the United States (Amazon, Bill Dunne, Rebecca Rubin, Jeremy Hammond, Jennifer Gann, Andrew Mickel, Blackjack, Michael Kimble, Sean Swain, Casey Brezik, and Marius Mason) and one awaiting trial (Eric King).
In addition, a message was painted at a swimming spot, reading "For Marius J. Mason and all imprisoned comrades: Wish you were here."
These are all small gestures for our imprisoned comrades, gestures we hope can help break down the isolation imposed by prison. Raising funds, sending letters and books, and raising awareness about prisoners are all important. However, we must recognize them as parts of a polymorphous and combative struggle against prison society as a whole. The recent hunger strike of Greek anarchist and rebel prisoners, the successful hunger strike of Nikos Romanos, the refusal of Spanish anarchists to break beneath the weight of Operation Pandora and Operation Piñata, the wide array of attacks in solidarity with prisoners and against repression: these all offer glimpses of possibilities, of freedom and rebellion.
We send international greetings to Nataly, Juan, and Guillermo, anarchist prisoners in Chile who recently ended their hunger strike after 53 days; those facing repression in Operation Piñata and Operation Fenix; Chilean anarchist Tamara Sol, recently moved to a high security prison; Silvia, Billy, and Costa, facing charges yet again for an alleged plan to sabotage an IBM nanotechnology research center, for which they have already served years in prison; and Marco Camenisch, held captive since 1991. We also express our deepest rage at state murder of comrade Spyros Dravilas in Greece.
We will not forget that Bloomington was once home to Marius Mason and we will not cease to struggle for his freedom and the freedom of all prisoners.
Solidarity with all prison rebels!

Sometime during the third week of June, machines where once again sabotaged on Fennovoima's construction site in Hanhikivi, northern Ostrobothnia.
A digger and a bulldozer were caused some expensive damage, by destroying machinery cables. The individual(s) who made the action represent no network, group or organisation.
Solidarity with people resisting nuclear construction in Pyhäjoki and comrades struggling everywhere
Activists fighting against Fennovoima's nuclear power plant project expressed their warm greetings to anarchist and eco-prisoners as part of the international action day June 11th.
You are not alone
You are not forgotten
The passion for freedom is stronger than any prison!

In the State of Ohio
I, Sean Swain, being duly sworn according to law, hereby depose to state:
1. I am competent to testify to the facts related herein, to which I have direct knowledge.
2. I write this declaration for filing in a pending civil rights action, as it appears that defendant prison officials are going to great lengths, including the creation of crises, in order to prevent my personal appearance before the federal court, a personal appearance that would ultimately expose the false characterizations of me that defendant prison officials have fostered in my absence.
On My Writing
3. I am a writer. I have always been a writer. When asked in school what I wanted to be, my answer was that I wanted to be what I already was: A writer. I stuttered as a child and as a consequence of that, I became painfully shy and very quiet. I was terrified to speak, for fear of ridicule. It is not easy to be different as a child. But, I could write. I could communicate on paper without stuttering, and I found that I was as good at it as anyone else—better than most, in fact.
4. When I eventually outgrew my stutter, I was still a stutterer on the inside. I always felt somewhat alien, different, and my writing became a refuge of sorts.
5. In high school, I ended up on the school paper—by accident. Paul Rogers was the school newspaper's advisor, and he was also the owner of the local paper. Rogers was going to law school at the time to become a First Amendment lawyer. He became my mentor.
6. Paul Rogers taught that good journalism is "something to offend everyone." It was the duty of the writer to challenge conventional thinking, to push people out of their intellectual comfort zones. I remember a poster over the desk of the local paper's editor, featuring the faces of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Josef Stalin, and the Ayatollah K[h]omeini. At the top, it read, "THE EXPERTS AGREE…," and at the bottom: "…CENSORSHIP WORKS."
7. Paul Rogers instilled in me the principle that the writer serves a very important role in society. The writer does not keep those in power honest, but instead makes those in power act honestly. That is, everyone wielding power is intent on reducing the population to slavery and tyranny, and it is only the eternal vigilance of the writer, acting as a check on that tyranny, that keeps any population free. The writer works in defense of human liberty against tyranny.
8. This orientation informed how I viewed my place in the world. My identity as a writer is inextricably tied to this principle, and it matters not where I am located, whether inside a prison or out. I am a writer. I often attempt to explain this by telling people that I am not this way because I am a writer; I am a writer because I AM this way.
9. I have been imprisoned since 1991. I am not an inmate or an offender or a criminal or a prisoner. I am a writer, a writer who happens to be in prison. The fact of my imprisonment, for me, is a matter of geography; I am on one side of a fence rather than the other. This in no way impacts who I am or what I do.
10. Raul Rogers also insisted that I learn the First Amendment. It was his firm belief that a writer had a duty to know the legal limits of his craft. As a consequence, Paul Rogers forced me to take and pass tests related to the First Amendment that he himself took in law school. As a consequence, at the age of 16, I could describe all of the limits of free speech and the exceptions to free speech, and the standards of review for those exceptions.
11. Upon coming to prison, before writing anything for publication, I applied what I knew of the First Amendment to determine the limits of prisoner protected speech, and how prisoner speech protections differed from persons in the free world, particularly related to political speech in a public forum. Given my predisposition and inability to compromise on matters of principle, and given the fact that those in power never appreciate writers, I fully anticipated that I would earn the animosity of my captors. I expected this. As a consequence, I made a particular effort to be rule-abiding in every way possible. I did this not because I necessarily agree with the rules or with the regimen or with the larger program that the rules serve, but I did so in a concerted effort to deprive my captors of easy excuses to subject me to punishments and thereby encroach on my ability to communicate. In other words, knowing that prison officials would want to "stick it to me," I did not want to make the process of "sticking it to me" a justifiable one.
12. In school, teachers on several occasions wanted to accelerate me through to a higher grade. By the process proposed to my parents, I would have graduated at age 13. My mom refused to accelerate me, as school also involved social learning which is best done when children are with others of their same age. But, at any rate, by the testing conducted at that time, and by the testing conducted by the U.S. military later, I was told that my I.Q. is approximately 137. Also, every Minnesota Multi-Phasic Personality Inventory Test I have ever taken demonstrates that I am "normal" in all scales, indicating I do not suffer from any kind of psychological dysfunction. I apply my intellect and reason to being meticulous about abiding by all prison rules and malting sure my writing and other communication conforms to the strict standards of First Amendment protection. Again, I do this not because I appreciate or agree with my captors, but to deprive them of legitimate cause to "get me."
13. I do not conform to U.S. Supreme Court precedents related to prisoner speech because I believe the Supreme Court "got it right," or because I think those limits to be the appropriate limits of free speech. I do it because I am a writer, and writers write; and for me to continue writing, to continue speaking truth to power, to continue doing what I believe to be an important job that is a benefit to the social order, I cannot allow my captors, my adversaries, my enemies, the excuse to shut down my communications. So, it is in this light that my conformity to the First Amendment must be absolute at all times.
My Writing in Prison
14. In the 1990s, I wrote reports for Catholic Justice Fellowship which prompted the Ohio Catholic Conference to support parole reform legislation. I was Secretary of Catholic Justice Fellowship until it was forcibly disbanded by the ODRC [Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction] for its effective lobbying and outreach. I was a member of the Advisory Board for Citi[z]ens United for the Rehabilitation of Errants, and my writings appeared regularly in their newsletter, "Against All Odds." In 2002, I was personally honored by Rosa Parks, who nominated me for placement on the Wall of Tolerance for my peace work in prison.
15. While I was subject to irregular treatment, it was not until 2008 that prison officials directly targeted my writings and subjected me to disciplinary action explicitly for writing. In that instance, prison officials targeted my writings and attributed to me a passage that appears nowhere in my writings, alleging that this passage (that I did not write) equated with encouraging a work stoppage. The written work in question, FREEDOM, now appears online at seanswain.org.
16. Prison officials attempted to send me to supermaximum security for writing a passage that provably appears nowhere in my writings. I was subjected instead to irregular conditions in segregation for 70 days.
17. In 2009, when my writings went online at seanswain.org, I was irregularly placed on the prison "gang" list. Later, in 2012, prison officials subjected me to torture as punishment for my writing of an article that exposed the illegality of JPay policy. In their first story, prison officials admitted to targeting me for what amounts to protected speech until I retained counsel, at which time prison officials then un-admitted what they had already admitted. After torturing me, my captors sent me to Ohio's super-maximum security prison, alleging no less than six times that I was "violent," despite any reference to a single act of violence.
18. I contend that "torture" is violence.
19. After I went to the supermax, friends invited me to participate in The Final Straw radio show, where I provide a five-minute segment, weekly. Prison officials then blocked my phone communication and thereby blocked my participation in the radio show for 8 weeks. Afterward, prison officials attempted to justify this obstruction by claiming that I engaged in three (3) instances of misconduct, all of which provably never occurred, and none of which were in any way related to phone use, while my radio segments were.
20. Upon learning of a YouTube project that I planned, prison officials blocked my video visits. In a court hearing, prison officials alleged that I engaged in misconduct for which, in reality, I had never been so much as accused, and prison officials misrepresented the video visit feature in several determinative ways in order to get the court to affirm prison officials' ban on my video visits.
21. Beginning May 5, 2015, all of my outgoing communication was blocked. I was later accused of rule violations which are not supported by the facts presented in the conduct report. I was found guilty of a non-existent "threat" as justification to block all of my communications indefinitely.
22. I have experienced a pattern of prison officials falsely accusing me of non-existent "violence" and non-existent "threats" in order to justify blocking my communications. The speech that prison officials target de facto conforms to all U.S. Supreme Court conditions for First Amendment protections. As a consequence of these abuses, prison officials, now with the approval of the federal courts, abuse their authority to make me cease to exist as a social being beyond prison walls. I am, in a social sense, being forced out of existence. This is a kind of social assassination. As I am a writer, and as writers write, being forced to silence is, in essence, being forced out of existence. A writer who no longer writes, who can no longer transmit writings to others, is a non-being.
23. I am a writer. I do not know how to be anything else. Despite my meticulous adherence to all U.S. Supreme Court precedents regarding protected speech, I am silenced anyway. That silence appears to be permanent.
24. As prison officials' targeting of my writing is now partly justified by the targeting of my "ideology," I believe it is important for me to also address what my ideology is, in some detail, so that I may disspell the mischaracterizations put forward by prison official defendants.
My Ideology
25. My "ideology," or, more accurately, what prison officials perceive my "ideology" to be, has been the central crux of state agents' efforts to target and silence my communication. As point of fact, I do not believe that I possess an "ideology"—at least, not in the way an ideology is most commonly understood.
26. At one time, I possessed an "ideology." When, in the 1990s, when I was a self-identifying liberal democrat, or later, a socialist, I viewed the world through a specific prism of ideas, and I had the tendency of forcing the reality I viewed to conform to the ideas, rather than modifying my thinking to conform to the reality I faced. I then possessed an ideology, a prism of ideas that influenced how I understood the world.
27. I have since abandoned systems of "belief," or ideologies. I now accept as fact that which I cannot disprove. I approach questions of social and political organization in the same way I would approach other things of importance. I accept that gravity is true, for instance; and I accept that the earth is round rather than flat. I accept the earth revolves around the sun. These are truths I cannot disprove and I must accept them, however it is I may feel about those truths. So, I reveal in the subsections that follow, the "proofs" that I must accept because I cannot disprove them, regarding social and political organization.
28. All modern political ideologies make reference to "freedom." Most often, the "freedoms" that any given party present are merely a list of priorities to conflict with another party's priorities of freedoms. In contrast, I find it important to define what freedom is. I borrow the definition presented by Ward Churchill, that freedom is "the absence of external regulation." In the absence of external regulation, one is "free" to make one's own choices; there exists no "external" regulator to impose upon the individual. It stands to reason then, that where "external regulation" exists, there is an absence of freedom, and to the degree that external regulation occurs, there is less freedom.
29. I value freedom, the absence of external regulation. I seek freedom. Any compromise of freedom, any acceptance of "external regulation," results in a state that is not freedom, but a state of varying degrees of slavery.
30. Because freedom and external regulation are opposites, this can be expressed in a kind of graph. We can imagine an absolute point, "freedom, the absence of external regulation," and also an opposing point, "absolute external regulation, absence of freedom." These absolute points would then be connected by a line that represents the continuum between these two absolute states: 31. By this illustration, "freedom" and "external regulation" are opposites, opposing forces, and the interplay between these opposing forces is represented by the line connecting them. The more freedom and less external regulation, the closer one is to the absolute point of freedom; the less freedom and more external regulation one experiences, the closer one is to the absolute point on the opposite end of the spectrum.
32. This, to me, is not so much an "ideology" as it is a simple truism.
33. Having established this truism, the implications follow: That which "externally regulates" is an external regulator, a thing that regulates that is external to the individual being regulated. To regulate is to govern.
34. Most common, in human affairs, that which we understand as an external regulator we refer to as "government." It matters not who does the governing or how that authority to govern is established. It can be a shepherd who kills a giant with a slingshot or a peasant who pulls a sword from a rock; the son of an oil magnate appointed by his father's minions or a community activist promising change and hope. Whoever it is that runs it, and however it is that it operates, that thing that regulates us is called "government."
35. Revisiting the graph, we can substitute words. Freedom is "the absence of government," which is an external regulator; the opposite of freedom is "absolute government." To be regulated is to be governed, and to be free is to experience the absence of external regulation or government. Now, in view of this, we see that freedom and government are opposites, opposing forces. Where government exists, less freedom exists; where freedom exists, there is an absence of government.
36. That political philosophy that advocates for absolute freedom, the absence of external regulation or government, is most-often referred to as "anarchism." Only an anarchist, one who opposes the existence of government, occupies the absolute extreme, "freedom." On the opposite end of the spectrum, those who advocate for a complete absence of freedom, the transcendence of government, are called "fascists." That political construct where the State is central and all human freedoms are subsumed by the existence of the State is called "Fascism." All other political philosophies, composed of some compromise between the two forces of freedom and government, occupy the continuum between these two extreme points.
37. I accept this to be true, not because of how I feel about this information, but because I am unable to disprove it. I accept the truth of what I have presented here for the same reason I accept gravity, the shape of the earth, and its trajectory around the sun. Freedom and government are opposites. As I seek freedom, as an absolute, for myself and others, I am opposed to the existence of an external regulator, government. I occupy the extreme point, "freedom." Freedom, then, is my "ideology." The word "anarchist" is used by the slaves who occupy every point of non-freedom on the spectrum to describe me. More »
The night of June 14th, East street, an Eiffage utility vehicle went up in smoke. Because they are building prisons.

Claim of responsibility for the explosive attack on a Bci bank branch in the district of La Cisterna and the incendiary attack on a BancoEstado branch in downtown Santiago:
While an apparent calm prevails in the Chilean territories and a festive ambience fills the streets as a result of the football circus that alienates those who voluntarily succumb to stagnation, we decided to carry out a small destructive gesture so as to show are solidarity in action with our imprisoned comrades. We are not indifferent to the ghosting of Tamara Sol to the women's prisons of San Joaquin, nor do we forget the conditions under which our comrades are jailed; Juan Flores, Nataly Casanova, Enrique Guzmán, Javier Pino, Natalia Collado, Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar. We do not forget the long term subversive prisoners, nor do we forget the Mapuche political prisoners.
On Wednesday June 24th, at 00:30 in the night, we blew up the Bci bank branch located near the bus stop 22 of Gran Avenida, destroying the biggest part of the ATM stations. We also claim responsibility for the incendiary attack that burned the ATM stations of a BancoEstado branch at the junction of Matta Avenue and Chiloe, on June 13th.
May the flames and the uproar reach your cells!

Communique on the incendiary attack carried out against SEDESOL for a Black June
To peoples, barrios, and communities
You propose scorched earth
Ten days from the beginning of Black June the territories have been wrapped in a maelstrom of struggles and battles, burning barricades opening the path to self-determination and building autonomy.
Recalcitrant and warlike since the first hours of Black June, we launched an incendiary attack against the seat of the Federal Ministry of Social Development – SEDESOL – at about 4:40 AM in Jalapa, Veracruz.
The attack was as quick as it was effective, and it was reported that:
"The disaster destroyed the better part of the furniture, papers, office equipment, electrical installations, and digital networks."
In sum, the place more or less went to hell.
We left a slogan painted, "DOWN WITH CAPITALIST DEVELOPMENT (A) BLACK JUNE"
Now, why would we have destroyed SEDESOL with fire and rage?
Well, we have had stories waiting to be told for a while. First, they invented a sickness for us, one that they called "poverty", and they convinced us that we suffered from it – only to sell, give, and force us to ingest the "cure": The idea of development.
Development has meant nothing more than the continuous extermination of forms of life, species of flora and fauna, ways of living and organizing, thinking, loving, speaking, and celebrating.
How many languages, words, or forms have been strangled, asphyxiated by kilometers of concrete and cement? Or flattened with "mandatory, free, and public education", or "aid" programs? If these are nothing more than cruel and vile forms of counterinsurgency, it is because "public policy" is the name which governments give to their most deadly weapons: Those with which they have and continue to scar the countryside, depopulate territories.. They have displaced, marginalized, and intoxicated.
They have waged this kind of war against us for decades, because they knew beforehand that territories and ecosystems are formidable, strong when life flows through them, and that their inhabitants and defenders resist precisely because they are part of strong ecosystems, and would never submit if they were confronted head on.
They know that to construct their deadly mega-projects (be they subdivisions, ports, highways, hydroelectric dams, wind turbines, mines, or nuclear plants) they need to weaken the territories, imprison their waters, divide the land, run the rivers through pipes, spill cyanide from the mines and toxic fracking liquid into the earth to pollute the aquifers, such that – trapped and without the ability to support life – we would submit to the tyranny of society and money.
Essentially they have spent decades carrying out military maneuvers on our environment, setting loose a kind of total war that we and others call social war. We see social war as all of these conflicts (macro and micro) that are released in order to submit communities, families and groups to the blueprints and dynamics of Society: To the practices and values that have been put in place to constrain us, mutilate us, and suppress us.
We do not understand social war as that which we wage against the system (in the forms of and as a substitute for what fascists of the hammer and sickle insist on calling class war), but as a great offensive employing all types of resources: From public policy, with its "models for national education" to TV series, the internet, etc, with their bombardment of dynamics and stereotypes. In order for these to be reproduced permanently, social war does not try to strike at its enemy or force it to surrender, but to completely erase it, to eliminate any way of thinking or being that does not contribute to the usufruct of capital, of the World Bank, the IMF, and patriarchal logics, however they may be dressed.
In sum, development – whether it is capitalist, socialist, fascist, or Lopez-Obrador-ist, is nothing more than:
War against the native
Because we know that their crusades against hunger are wars – crusades, at the end of the day –
Because we know that selling a watershed to French, Brazilian, or Mexican corporations is a savage war against the livelihood of everyone and everything.
And if they want war, they'll have it.
And war is what they get. In this communique we also want to emphasize that, ten days in to this Black June, the smell of burned gunpowder, spilled gasoline, and the smoke rising from tires in burning barricades has marked diverse territories in what has been a historic month, where electoral boycotts in villages, neighborhoods, and communities were carried out in an atmosphere that resounded with incendiary attacks, sabotage, and detonations that did not wait, but filled the air with the sweet scent of insurrectionary breezes.
It is indubitable that something has begun, between the deployments and retreats, skirmishes, barricades or battles such as those in Huajuapan (perhaps the most intense we have seen in many years), Tixtla or Juchitán. On June 7, the Mexican State was confronted in many of our towns and territories; from the Chiapan highlands to the Purepecha plateau, passing through the valleys, plains, mountains, and beaches of Oaxaca to the rivers and brush of the Yaqui trenches were opened against the system of electoral democracy, dealing the blow that it should be dealt:
More and more savagely, landing punch after punch to its sides,
These have been heavy weeks, but we know that we can't discern an end to this – nor do we pretend that someday we might see it. Autonomy is not given with civic associations, nor is it begged for in negotiating committees, nor is it protected with human rights commissions. It must be fought for savagely – At Daggers Drawn – against the existing system, its defenders, and its false critics.
We will say it endlessly: The organizations defending "human rights" are a crucial part of the enemy. Before industrialization, Modernity consecrated its triumph with the universal declaration of human rights; at the moment of writing and reaching agreement on what are and are not "universal rights", they obliterated any possibility for constructing liberty and autonomy in their western nations with a few strokes of the pen.
All of this strengthens national institutions – that is, it is nothing more than asking the butcher to put down his crude, dull machete and take up a katana, with a brilliant edge that we ourselves have sharpened. But what's more, to resort to these instances and methods reproduces logic, modes of being, roles, and dynamics that do not just permit, but make possible the capitalist world war. This war is unleashed against us, as well as everything else, living or not, and is the same thing that scorches children in daycare centers and runs slave camps in OaxaCalifornia.
We don't want to be included in the national project, we don't want a larger, stronger Mexico, a winning and transparent Mexico in which corruption has ended. Fuck all that!
Countries are an invention of the 19th century, a deal brought about by an aristocracy unwilling to cede power and a thriving bourgeoisie that hoped to break through the barriers of the ancient regime. Democracy: The frankenstein that they came up with together, faced with the conclusion that "everything must change, so that everything can stay the same."
As such, Mexico is in turn a collection of systems, institutions, and discourses with which they wage social war.
All with their minutes counted, facing the development of Mexico, facing the development of capitalism, a development that takes place if and only if we reproduce the dynamics that the sons of their bastard fathers have put in place. These dynamics were established deliberately, so that – forced to choose between Chana or Juana – we construct our daily lives in their style. We forge our chains on a daily basis, such that you who read this shit are the chief jailer of your own prison, the prison which you have been weaving with your own life, and in the links that we make between our personal prisons, we together form prisons of flesh and bone – and also of concrete – where they have us submissive, trapped by our fears, tied by values that they have taught us since we were small, demanding more and more
Thus, we need to attack and injure, cause breakages, enlarge those that exist, interrupt the dynamics of daily life that we are submerged in – or that they hope to force us into – because much of their success consists in keeping us always racing this way and that, from this problem to that necessity, only opening spaces when they serve the logic imposed by the exercise of power.
It is because of what we have said above – and because it makes us very, very happy – that we came
We will not forgive. And no, we never forget.
A strong and very spirited hug to the compas in Cheran, Aquila, Ostula, Uripuchuaro and other Purepecha and Nahuatl villages in the regions of Michoacán, struggling for self-determination with dignity in their chests, arms at hand, and their traditions in mind.
To the Yaqui compas who proudly resist and persist.
To the comrades in San Quintín whose subversion has burst into the media, reminding us that you are there, working from sunrise to sunset bringing jitomates to the markets and strawberries to the donuts of the same pigs who strangle them. Many of us can't see a strawberry without thinking of you, comrades. May the armored vehicles you bashed in with rocks serve as an example for many.
To the comrades of Eloxochitlan, Huautla, Guixhiró, and all the corners of ungovernable Oaxaca, Magón's cradle and the godmother of insurrection, who have spent the last few days confronting the military, the feds, police, and other sons of bastard fathers who want to force us to govern and be governed.
To the Zapatista comrades of Bachajón and La Realidad, we wish we could stand shoulder to shoulder with you in this moment, but you already know that it's a hard thing, and they are bringing war to us here as well.
To the other comrades in the jungles and mountains in Chiapas, greetings from one masked face to another, for your great determination and delicious tobacco, this is a demonstration of anarchist solidarity.
To our anarchist comrades, we remind you that the libertarian struggle can't be done with red arms, to hell with their backstabbing, fuck the dialectic. We shit on their power and the forms they want to present it.
Solidarity with the prisoners of war Abraham Cortés, Fernando Bárcenas and Fernando Sotelo!!

Greece: Elias Karadouman released from prison, despite consecutive obstacles thrown in his way by state authorities in order to afflict him
Some days ago, the combative prisoner Elias Karadouman – participant in the Network of Imprisoned Fighters (DAK) – was faced with the threat of deportation.
After 10 years of incarceration in the Greek galleys, Karadouman was able to sign his prison release papers on May 18th, 2015. However, he was kept in Corfu prison until June 15th. That day, just minutes before attaining his freedom, he was arrested by State Security officers and taken to the Corfu police department on the grounds that the authorities had ordered his immediate deportation to Turkey, his country of birth. Imprisoned at the police station for days, he refused to undergo deportation proceedings – given that he grew up and still lives in Greece – and instead, he presented legal documents and court decisions that deem any attempt to deport him unlawful.
Elias Karadouman was finally released on June 24th and remains in Greece, where he can meet up with comrades from whom he was separated by prison walls for ten whole years.
Until the demolition of the last prison left standing.
Bristol Defendant Solidarity have published some important advice for activists travelling to/from the UK on our blog.
We have recently supported a number of people stopped and questioned at airports under "Schedule 7", many of whom did not know their rights. As such we would be grateful if you would share this with your members, and any contacts you have – especially international contacts – so that the information can become more widely known.
Police in the UK are allowed to question anyone entering/leaving the country about "terrorism" – without the right to silence. We have spoken to a number of anarchists who have been questioned under these powers, known as "Schedule 7". Because of a lack of information on the law, most of those stopped have given more information than they had to. This includes people from outside of the UK who have not even heard of "Schedule 7" before. For this reason, we strongly recommend any activists travelling to/from the UK read our briefing beforehand.
If you have been questioned under "Schedule 7", please contact the Network for Police Monitoring, so they can keep track of how the police are using this power. Email: info[at]netpol[dot]org
Using a simple weapon we decided to attack against the Banamex bank branch located at the junction of Sullivan Avenue and the inner-city motorway Circuito Interior, in the heart of the city. We stood right in front of their vigilance system: patrol cars that move around surveilling the avenue one after another, cameras observing us on every street, in every step… living-dead passersby who would trust the cops before any strange incident.
Sullivan Avenue is one of the traditional spots of street prostitution in Mexico City, not to forget of course that our target is located some blocks away from the premises of the Superior Court of Justice for cases of misdemeanors. All in all, this could make us believe that a meeting face to face with the enemy is impossible in a zone like this one, nevertheless with violent joy we experiment in the present the freedom that confronts the order of the status quo.
After the attack the police launched an operation that only managed to demonstrate their inefficacy and stupidity, since we escaped through the streets having the night as an accomplice.
Attacking a bank like Banamex, in the middle of Power's financial centre was carried out to incite all those in affinity (affinity groups, anarchist individualities), to prove that vigilance in NOT an obstacle – and that the means of attack can be cheap. Acts of sabotage can become really simple and easily reproducible.
They can fill every corner with cameras for all we care; we will attack them from the shadows of the night. Sooner or later the displays of all their temples will be smashed. We don't wait, we live in the present, and this act is neither the first nor the last in the struggle we have decided to wage against the imposition of Capital over our lives.
In the face of their surveillance measures, we project our networks of safety, complicity and care.
PS. The bank ended up burnt to a crisp, painting a black tone over the daily life of the city.

MLS Regular Season
Solignac on his form and frustrations
Match report: Sporting Kansas City 2, Colorado Rapids 0
Colorado Rapids slipped to a second successive road defeat when they went down 2-0 at Sporting KC on Saturday evening.
Pablo Mastroeni's side started brightly but they trailed to a sharp low finish from Krisztian Nemeth in the 32nd minute.
They tried to work their way into the game but, on 62 minutes, Sam Cronin turned a cross from Benny Feilhaber into his own net. There was no way back after that.
This game represented the halfway point of the MLS season and Rapids now have a record of 2-6-9.
#SKCvCOL | MLS Match Preview
Colorado Rapids continue their road trip at Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening - weather permitting!
The fixture at Sporting Park in mid-May was postponed because of lightning strikes and so, even though this game represents the midway point of the regular season, it is the first of three matches against Peter Vermes' side.
As Shane O'Neill pointed after the defeat at Orlando, ties are no longer good enough for the Rapids.They need victories to catapult them back into contention in the Western Conference.
Rapids Podcast: Shane O'Neill says wins not ties needed going forward
Central defender Shane O'Neill tells this week's Rapids Podcast that this Saturday's match at Sporting Kansas City is one they need to win following a 2-0 reversal at Orlando City SC on Wednesday night.
Mastroeni: 'Get behind in a place like this, it's not going to be easy'
Thoughts on the game:
"As we've done all season, we put ourselves in good positions really early in the game but we just can't finish. I think they were much brighter in the second half, more commitment in the second half from them. Disappointed in the way that we conducted ourselves in the second half."
On performance in the second half:
Match report: Orlando City SC 2, Colorado Rapids 0
Colorado Rapids fell to their second road defeat of the season when they went down 2-0 at Orlando City on Wednesday night.
After an even first half, the home side took control. In the 62nd minute, Cyle Larin turned in a low cross from Carlos Rivas at the far post. Three minutes later, Kaká doubled the advantage with a powerful shot into the far corner.
Rapids and Commerce City to host 20th annual 4thFest
The Colorado Rapids and Commerce City are proud to present the 20th Annual 4thFest celebration on Saturday, July 4 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, presented by Westerra Credit Union.
Ten things to know ahead of Orlando City SC vs. Colorado Rapids
1. Three players with Rapids connections are on the Orlando City roster. Midfielder Tony Cascio spent 2012 and 2013 in Colorado, before an injury-plagued season on loan at Houston Dynamo. He made 42 of his 48 MLS appearances with the Rapids.
Preview: Orlando City v Colorado Rapids
#COLvDAL | MLS Match Preview
Colorado Rapids look to return to MLS action with a bang.
After almost a fortnight out of the competition, Pablo Mastroeni's side have nine points at stake inside eight days. They travel to Orlando City and Sporting KC next week but, before that, entertain FC Dallas on Friday night.
If you throw in a couple of US Open Cup ties sandwiching the whole week, then the Rapids are in the meat of a busy and important time.

Very poor service. Got our order wrong four ways....in the same order! Plus, the premium quarter pounder is a joke.
Very poor service. Got our order wrong four ways....in the same order! Plus, the premium quarter pounder is a joke.
the food here used to be very good. Today, it seems like everything was similarly bland in flavor. I don't think I'll be back for a while.
Try the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Incredible!
The nice thing about a season pass is that you can visit over lunch if you're in the area...especially nice if your family is there!
Try the lunch chicken and gravy over rice....awesome!
Don't let the one negative review get you...the guy must have had a really bad trip. House of Sun is a great value...try the traditional menu for a really different meal!
On Mondays and Wednesdays, they run a special on Gyros. Getting the platter means lunch for right around FIVE BUCKS. :)
Drs. Schoettinger & Stanforth are great!
Try an Iceberg with Strawberry slushie and the blue ice cream! Daddy approved!
Try the burrito barzon! It's amazing!!!
Try some sushi! (unagi is my favorite)
Good food & a very friendly proprietor. What else do you need??
Awesome spicy basil noodles - try them!
