Abandoned Railroad Ride - Carrizo Gorge to Goat Canyon Trestle on KLRs (Hi Rez Pics!)
NOTE: While this is an awesome ride, please do it at your own risk if you want to go. The RR tracks are owned by SD MTS and it is illegal and posted that you run the risk of arrest or fine if caught. There were many people hiking and biking on the trip, but I have no idea what the consequences would be if caught. Please just understand the risk involved!
So this last weekend my brother (FadingFastSD) and I decided we finally wanted to tackle explore Corrizo Gorge - the mostly abandoned railroad line outside of San Diego that includes the "tallest and widest wooden railroad trestle in the United States". After reading about this thing on various hiking and mountain biking websites, we decided we wanted to be the first people to ride motorcycles on this thing. And as far as I can tell...we were!
Before I get into the trip, and tons of pictures of the ride, some awesome history on this Railroad. To quote various historical sources about the RR and the trestle:
"The Goat Canyon Trestle is perhaps the signature piece of engineering on the "impossible" railroad that stretches from San Diego to Yuma. It was built in 1932 after an earthquake destroyed one of the seventeen (17) tunnels that were constructed along the track between 1907 and 1919. Rather than proceed through the same mountain that had the remnants of the previous collapsed tunnel, the railroad engineers elected to bridge Goat Canyon; and the results are the trestle that remains to this day."
More info HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
Anyway, this seemed like a run that most people typically hike and/or mountain bike into. I was able to find fairly decent directions to the general area we wanted to head, and pinpointed coordinates from google maps. If anyone is in or near San Diego, basically you take the 8 freeway east of San Diego to the Jacumba exit (the only one with a gas station and subway for miles). Exit Jacumba and go back west on the dirt road parrallel to the freeway. 1 mile or so in it will curve north, under the freeway, and end at the DeAnza nudist resort (more on this later).
Google Maps Location Here.
EDIT: Go to my brother's website to get a detailed run down on directions and GPS locations in order to get here:
Now, we were super stoked about doing this ride, as we had read quite a bit about the history of the RR and the region, and there is a ton of cool stuff to explore out there. Of course, we wished the king of Adventure, our good friend The Filthy Nomad (Parepin) was still in town to do this with us...but the deep Parepin sized impression permanently existing in my couch cushions tells me he'll be back. So just the two of us (FadingFastSD) and I set out from San Diego on Sunday morning on KLR 650s. We planned on doing this ride with just the two of us, but in retrospect, we wouldn't have been able to do any of it without what happened next. We pulled off the freeway to gas up before we hit the dirt, and when walking in to the gas station, come across two newer KLR's fully loaded out in adventure gear for obviously a more substantial trip. Of course we end up bullshitting with the two guys, who end up being brothers, and inmates (Didn't get their names on the forum though). They were down from the LA area on a camping trip and just riding around. They had planned to do some riding along the border that day, but after telling them where they were heading, they were immediately down to come with us! Miguel, Rey - we couldn't have done it without you! AND we made two new friends who I can see some serious riding going on with in the future!
So the four of us take off down the dirt road to see what we can find. Now if you check Google Maps, you'll see the dirt road curves up parallel to the train tracks, but there is no easy way to get up to the trail I had read existed that ran along the tracks. Knowing that the RR is now pretty much defunct (They do occasionally run a maintenance car on it, or the rare locomotive) and seeing the condition of the tracks, we found the only way to get started on this journey was to get our bikes up on the tracks. This is where I can't believe our fortune that we had run into two other guys as crazy as we were. With loaded out bikes, there is no way Evan and I would have been able to lift our bikes over the tracks with just the two of us. But with all four, we made it happen no problem. What I had initially thought was a trail running along the tracks turned out to be a tiny dirt path big enough for just a mountain bike at most places. We realized that the only way we were going to make this ride was to do it ON the tracks. From the looks of things, tons of rust, debris, condition of the wood, the tracks were obviously not used, so we decided what the hell let's do it. We got all 4 bikes on the tracks and headed up on an EXTREMELY bumpy ride. Less than a mile in, we came to the first interesting thing on the trip...
Parked on this siding were a row of split-level passenger cars. 5 of them I believe. It was pretty awesome to see, just 5 minutes in to the trip and already some cool stuff to explore! The cars had obviously been abandoned for some time. Windows were broken out, glass was everywhere, and some of the most amazing graffiti art I've ever seen decorated the side of the cars.
We started walking through them to explore, and made some pretty interesting discoveries.
First of all, there was one passenger remaining on the train. She was sitting in her sit, waiting for her stop that will probably never come…
Poor girl just looked so lonely…so Evan gave her a hug
We later found her box (pun intended) outside on the ground. Apparently she's a "Jenna – 3 Hole Doll" model. In remarkably good condition too taking into account the rough terrain, jagged metal, and relentless sun surrounding her. . .
We continued exploring the cars, and made our way up to the drivers area. This is where we made a second interesting discovery:
Either the driver of this train had parked it here while high as shit, or we stumbled across someone's secret stash spot. Regardless, the bowl was cashed so we put it back in its hiding spot and continued the adventure!
At this point near these first train cars, we encountered a few groups of hikers. One group had about 10 people, and another smaller group followed shortly after. They were all cool, but like everyone else we ran into – very surprised that we were taking motorcycles on this journey. I've done a lot of research online and I can't find anyone else who has taken even a dirt bike on this trip. Just hiking and the occasional mountain biking (See the Miles Todd crash for more information on mtn biking this trail).
Once we had explored all there is to that first siding, we were stuck figuring out way over the first real obstacle. There is a ~30 yard long bridge that crosses a dry riverbed just north of that siding. (also just north of the nudist resort). Some of the supports and pilings for this bridge are in horrible shape, and it was also actually missing a few of the ties that go across it. Since it's about 20 feet up in the air, we were reluctant to try and ride across it. With no guard rails an d being in the middle of nowhere, we weren't exactly stoked to ride across this thing on loaded bikes.
While we were figuring out a possible way through the riverbed, we heard a bike start up and were surprised to see Rey just jump on his bike and go for it. This guy had some serious balls! He made it across fine, and we ended up carefully getting the other bikes across. It was at this point during the deliberation of how to tackle this, that we encountered another set of visitors.
Warning: Naked Dude
I gotta say, that guy had bigger balls than me! Literally, because I saw them, and figuratively, because you gotta be pretty tough to walk around a ton of rusting steel with your hang dang swinging like a wind chime in a hurricane...
Anyway, we all made it across, and headed on down the tracks to come across the first of 11 tunnels.
We hit a few more switches in the tracks which we developed a pretty quick and efficient way to lift our loaded bikes over the tracks. The tracks continued, winding around the mountainside over some of the most beautiful and rugged terrain that CA has to offer. I couldn't' believe someone thought it would be a good idea to build a railroad back here!
We crossed multiple bridges, mos of which had rails and were in fairly good condition. We didn't encounter any others that had the ties in such bad shape as that first bridge, and were able to just ride straight over these others. A few more miles in, we came accross the second awesome discovery of the trip. On the next large siding we passed, we come around a corner to find another set of passenger cars just sitting there rusting away! It was so awesome seeing these things, like we discovered a part of history just rusting away in the middle of the desert. These one's weren't that old, and had markings from a Montreal Canada railway, but it was still cool just to look through all this stuff!
We stopped here for a while to rest and eat some lunch, and talked with another group of hikers that passed by. They said they had left around 9am that morning, and were just headed back around 2pm when we saw them. The hike is about 8 miles in off the freeway, but on pretty rugged terrain for hiking.
Then we finally saddled up and headed on. The hikers told us we were about another 4 miles from our destination - Goat Canyon Trestle. This is where we started hitting the majority of the tunnels. This was one of the coolest parts of the ride. Riding your bike through these tunnels looked like you were literally riding through a mine shaft, they were all blown straight through the side of the mountain. It was an unbelievable experience.
Another 4 or so miles up the tracks, we go through a super long tunnel which curves along the mountain. We come out of the curve to see an amazing sight - the trestle. It was seriously a beautiful picture. This massive wood structure curving around the mountain right out of the black mouth of a dark tunnel. Really cool experience to ride this. We ripped out of the tunnel and just tore straight across the trestle, without even stopping to check the ties. They were all in good shape and we made it across and parked to do some exploring. Just the size of this thing, and knowing it was built in the 1930's was unbelievable.
There was a ballast car sitting on a siding here, with a water tanker up on the hill above it. I'd read that this was placed there in case of any fires on the wood structure. In the hill across from it, you could see the original tunnel that used to go through the mountain. It was damaged in an earth quake and later rock slides took it out for good.
The tracks continued to the biggest tunnel, and one was blasted straight out of solid rock. This was a pretty amazing sight to walk through.
A little farther up the tracks were some other UP boxcars that had been derailed and fallen off the tracks. I think these might have been used in a movie, as I know there was other debris from old cars from a movie they filmed in the 30's.
Around this time it was getting late, 5pm, so we decided to turn and head back so we weren't stuck getting over that first bridge after dark. We made pretty good time heading back, since we knew the tricks to getting over tracks, and just about had it down to a science. We passed a couple of guys mountain biking in, who said they were going in to camp for the night. We did pass a couple of clearings, one that had a fire ring made from rocks that someone set up. There were definitely some good spots to camp. Hell you could even sleep comfortably in some of those train cars! The guys on bikes were surprised to see us, and said they come often but have never seen anyone on motorcycles attempt this!
We made it back to the gas station by dark, and exchanged all our contact information, having found a good group to do some future rides with!
Overall, this was probably the best and most exciting ride I've done in Southern California. There's still a lot to explore out in the deserts surrounding San Diego that we plan on checking out. I would recommend this ride to anyone, but it's definitely easier on a lighter and less loaded bike. I'm going to come back with my street plated CRF 450x and can make pretty short work of it I'm sure. My one caution is that no one is really sure of the legality of this, and it is posted in some areas that its trespassing. We didn't see any authority or anyone who cared we were back here, but I did happen to find some videos on youtube where they recently (March 2014) ran a maintenance truck on the line. Their website says that it is still patrolled by RR Police, and they will arrest/fine anyone caught. I have no idea the accuracy of that, but just be warned that it could be dangerous to be out here. Don't let that stop you, just please be careful!
I posted the links to the full album, and lots of links with more information up near the top.

ah my bro beat me to an ADV RR. Here is a blog post I wrote on our Motorbike Mondays website, a Podcast about motorcycle building and maintenance.
It was an epic ride, I really recommend to anybody in San Diego or even SoCal area.

Awesome ride and awesome RR.
It's amazing that they just push that old stock out into the desert and let it rust away instead of scrapping it, and some of it is a long way from home.

One thing I just thought of....that smokestash in the driver/control area of the car could be a TFN calling card. I've heard The Nomad is high so often, he just leaves pipes at key locations in order to maintain the buzz during difficult journeys.

Awesome trip and pics!!
Not sure why I clicked on this thread, but I'm very glad I did. I was very surprised to see the rail cars with the red stripes. Those are old METRA cars from the Chicago area. I commuted on that line to Chicago for several years. Good chance I even road on one of those cars I can tell you from first hand experience that they are NOT comfortable to sleep on...

Evan - incredible stuff. I've seen the big trestle on rides but never knew you could ride it and see all that.
On the list - thx!

some info
Its worth noting that railway is NOT abandoned, and is actually undergoing rehab to begin hauling freight. Bad things could happen if you enter a tunnel not knowing this.
The railway is owned by the Pacific Imperial Railway
They are under legal obligation to rehab the rail lines and begin hauling freight to mexico. Their lease requires they embark on a multi-million dollar construction project. You can see on that tressel that most of the railing woodwork and cables are fairly new.
The cars left there are being stored for various movie companies and are not scrap.
While very cool, this thread could easily lead to some pretty dangerous situations in the near future without this info, so I thought I'd mention it.
Starting this year there should be regular construction traffic working on the bridges. The goal is apparently to have freight trains running to and from Tijuana by end of 2015

Too cool. Have seen other reports of locals visiting that area but not like that. And on KLRs no less!
Great write up.

Urban Decay
Great report!
I have dreams about places like this - I grew up in south and later central Florida - first exploring urban and suburban decay on my bicycle and then later on my motorcycle (I road countless miles of RR tracks north of Orlando). Your RR brought back memories and conjured visions of the future (through my hooligan goggles )

|Local 4-H students take part in Career Camp

Experiences enocuntered in youth can significantly shape the career path we choose as adults. A group of young adults entering 8th and 9th grades, including some from Millbrook, were recently exposed to a variety of career options through the 4-H Career Camp program. Elmore and Montgomery County 4-H youth enjoyed a four day "Career Camp" tour designed to spur their imaginations about what careers they could begin working on in a few short years.
Students from Millbrook's Kidz Journey program joined their peers for a busy week. On Monday, the group visited the Montgomery County Sheriff's crime lab; WLWI radio station, and Southern Homes and Gardens. Next was a two-day trip to Mobile where students learned about the shrimping industry, sports careers at the Bay Bears stadium, Maritime industry careers, and the Alabama Department of Transportation's Mobile tunnels jobs. On Thursday, it was a trip to Auburn where students visited the University's Fisheries department, Meats lab, and Equine facility.
"There are a wide variety of careers of which many students are unaware" said Katrina Mitchell, Elmore County Extension Coordinator. "The purpose of the week was to enable youth to begin envisioning their future careers and whether that means college or other specific skills training."
The Rural Alabama Initiative (RAI), one of the programs sponsors, provides small grants across Alabama to fund a range of locally defined community projects.
"Leaders in every city and county already have good ideas for improving their community and local economy," states Joe Sumners, Director of ECDI at Auburn University, which administers RAI. "What they often lack are the financial resources to get started. RAI is designed to provide seed money to help support good ideas and projects for development as defined by local leaders."
Sumners believes Elmore County's 4-H Career Camp is a perfect example of a locally designed program with local benefits. It exposes local youth to a wide range of careers in Alabama and informs youth of the skills and education needed to pursue them. Simultaneously, it aids workforce development by focusing the next generation of workers on emerging careers in Alabama.
The program was sponsored by grants from Rural Alabama Initiative and the Gulf Coast Rural Conservation & Development Council along with sponsorships from Alabama Power Company, Elmore County District Judge Maura Culberson, and State Representative Greg Wren.

Consigned by the son of the Canadian player who swiped it after the game1936 Berlin Olympics Gold Medal Game Used Basketball. It was going to be a tough pill to swallow. For the first time in Olympic history, the game of basketball--a game invented by a Canadian!--would be contested as a medal sport, and the nation of Canada wouldn't participate. A Canadian champion had already been determined, a group of unknown hardcourt enthusiasts just across the border from Detroit called the Windsor Alumni, but the crushing grip of the Great Depression had left the athletes to fend for themselves. The government could offer no subsidy for travel to Berlin. But team founder Gordon Fuller was not one to take defeat lightly, reaching out to various business in the hopes of gaining sponsorship. In quick order, the Alumni were renamed the Windsor Ford V-8's, and passage to Berlin was provided by the Ford Motor Company.
Among these intrepid tourists was their team captain, a young player named Jimmy Stewart whose wife Mary accompanied him upon the eight-day Atlantic crossing on the Duchess of Bedford steamship. As the Olympic tournament progressed under the watchful eye of Adolf Hitler, the Canadians did the sport's founder proud, defeating Brazil, Poland, Switzerland, Uruguay and Latvia to set up a Final against their neighbors to the south. On a rain-soaked outdoor court, this unassuming leather sphere was presented for tip-off, and the battle against the United States began.
In the damp and dreary setting, it quickly became apparent that dribbling was a lost cause, the growing puddles deadening any attempted bounce of the ball. Thus the advantage swung to the American side, their greater height giving them superiority through the air. By the time the final whistle blew, the Canadian dreams had turned from Gold to Silver, the losing side of a nineteen to eight result. As the American side splashed through its celebration, the defeated captain Stewart snatched up the game ball and hustled it over to his young bride, instructing her to tuck it beneath the blanket that sheltered her against the cold. And from that day forward this ball has remained the only one from an American Gold Medal-winning basketball game that is not in American hands.
Perhaps one patriotic countryman will remedy this situation on February 23, as Heritage proudly presents the historic 1936 Gold Medal basketball to the collecting world for the first time. Similar in design and weight to a modern volleyball, this seminal artifact bears a "Berg" manufacturer's stamping on one hemisphere, and the hyphenated word "Basket-Ball" directly opposite. At the northern pole, an opening about the size of a quarter permits entry to the deflated bladder within. The ball nonetheless retains a reasonably spherical shape.
Beyond a notarized letter of provenance from the son of the Canadian team captain, the ball is further documented by a number of magazine and newspaper articles (photocopies supplied) recounting the tale and picturing the younger Stewart posing with it, as well as period images of his father with the Canadian team. Notarized letter of provenance from Jimmy Stewart, Jr. Periodical documentation as noted.

The San Fransisco 49ers are not inclined to pursue CB Darrelle Revis at this time according to ESPN's Chris Mortenson. This contradicts much of the talk from Wednesday – and this offseason – that suggested San Francisco would be the eventual landing spot for Revis. San Francisco worked out a trade of Alex Smith with Kansas City on Wednesday. That transaction and others have given the 49ers a whopping 15 draft picks in the upcoming draft. The consensus among many is that the 49ers will make finding a top corner their number one priority. Revis is considered the best corner in the league but his return from an ACL tear brings risks with it. There is still plenty of time before April's draft so it is hard to completely rule San Francisco out.

Those that received final approval were three from the five that attracted bidders during the last offer
Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing S.C, Hamaressa Edible Oil S..C and Bekelcha Transport S.C are all switching over to private ownership, following the final approval, by the Privatisation & Public Enterprises Supervising Agency (PPESA), of the offers made for them.
Only three of the five public enterprises that attracted bidders during the financial opening passed the technical evaluation and got the final approval of the Agency.
From the 11 enterprises offered for sale by the PPESA on February 10, 2014, only five attracted bidders. These included the three whose transfer was approved on Friday, March 29, 2014, in addition to Kombolcha Textile S.C. and Caustic Soda S.C.
The Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing S.C will go to Medi Tech Ethiopia Plc, which offered 436.6 million Br - exceeding competing bids from Sachem Import & Export Plc, Bak Byte Industrial Plc, Beker General Business Plc and Horn Investment Plc, whose offers ranged from 236 million to 351 million Br.
Tikur Abay Transport S.C's offer of 325.9 million Br for the purchase of Bekelcha Transport S.C was also approved. Ethio Asian Industries Plc has bought Hamaressa Edible Oil S.C for 50.5 million Br.
The rejected offers included a one million dollar bid from Metel Mohammed Enterprise Tanzania Ltd for Kobmolcha Textile SC, and Complay Industrial Plc's one million dollar offer for Caustic Soda S.C.
In May 2012, MCC Imports Enterprise offered 14.8 million Br to acquire this factory. This offer was approved by the board of the Agency, but the buyer suddenly discovered all the debts the company had owed, which, if it paid, as the PPESA expected, would lift its payment up to 123 million Br.
The documents at the company indicated that the factory not only had unpaid loans, but also income tax, withholding tax and Value Added Tax (VAT), which it should have transferred to the Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority (ERCA) but did not.
After that, the Agency floated tender for the privatisation of Caustic Soda three times, without being able to attract any bidder. When Caustic Soda was offered for privatisation for the fourth time in the last tender.
The enterprises that failed to attract any bidders were - the Ethiopian Minerals Development S.C, Bahir Dar Textile S.C, Weyra Transport S.C, Artistic Printing Enterprise, Agricultural Mechanisation Service Enterprise and Transport Construction Design S.C, auctioned for the fourth round of 2013/14 fiscal year.
Kombolcha Textile S.C was also auctioned with those companies.

The Portland Water Bureau provides several water quality reports to the public:
2015 Drinking Water Quality Report
Annual water quality report is made available to all customers each June. Contains results of detected regulated contaminants from calendar year 2014. Also has useful information about Portland's water system.
Also available in:
Chinese Russian Spanish Vietnamese
Past Drinking Water Quality Reports are available online.
Recent water quality analyses
Three times a year the Water Bureau produces the Triannual report with current water quality results.
Bull Run Source Water Assessment
As required by the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Source Water Assessment identifies the potential contaminants of concern in the Bull Run water supply.
Watershed Control Program Report for Water Year 2014
As required by the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Watershed Control Program Report Identifies current activities affecting water quality, and projections of future impacts or activities in the watershed.
Water Quality of Bull Run Compared to Groundwater
As of Thursday June 11, the Portland Water Bureau is supplementing Bull Run water with approximately 8% groundwater from the Columbia South Shore Well Field.
Beginning Thursday, June 11, the Portland Water Bureau will begin using its groundwater wells in the Columbia South Shore Well Field to ensure adequate supplies of water to its customers while work on supply conduits from Bull Run is being completed. As part of system improvements, maintenance work is being conducted on the Water Bureau's three supply conduits. Work to strengthen the interties between the conduits will soon begin on the last and largest conduit. This scheduled maintenance coincides with an increase in water demand. As a result, groundwater from the Columbia South Shore Well field will be used to continue supplying clean, safe and constant drinking water to customers. The groundwater system is estimated to contribute approximately 8% of supply for up to four weeks during the scheduled improvement work. While the work is being performed, the bureau will take the opportunity to perform its annual maintenance operation of the groundwater system, replacing the maintenance run scheduled for next month. Depending on location, it will take between one and eight days for groundwater to move through the distribution system and reach customers. For more information about Portland's drinking water quality, call the Water Line at 503-823-7525.

Amazon Announces Job Cuts, Narrower Q4 loss
Internet retail giant Amazon.com posted a reduced quarterly loss today, just beating Wall Street estimates, but said it would cut 15 percent of its workforce, 1,300 employees, and take a restructuring charge of more than $150 million.
Amazon, which sells everything from books to electronics to hardware at its online store, said it would cut 1,300 jobs, closing a distribution center in McDonough, Georgia, and its customer service center in Seattle. It also said it would operate its Seattle distribution center only seasonally.
The company statement gave no immediate reason for the restructuring, but analysts had expected the move because of continued losses by the company, which is under pressure from investors to turn a profit, and because of a disappointing holiday sales season.
For the three months ended Dec. 31, its pro forma net loss was $90.4 million, or 25 cents a share, compared with $184.9 million, or 55 cents, a year earlier. Wall Street analysts tracked by First Call/Thomson Financial had expected Amazon to lose 26 cents a share.
Amazon shares closed at $18-15/16, down $1-3/16, or 5.9 percent, on Nasdaq before the announcement.
Amazon said quarterly revenues of $972 million were up 44 percent from $676 million a year earlier. That was more than the company's recent forecast of $960 million.
Earlier this month, Amazon said it had slashed its year-end inventory balance by 20 percent to less than $175 million. Analysts have said the 5-year-old company is relatively inexperienced at stocking the right mix of goods.
Analysts viewed the holiday quarter as a crucial time for Amazon to prove its growth first, profits later strategy could work. The company has expanded beyond its core books business into music, software, hardware and even lawn furniture.
Higher Medical Costs Hurt Aetna
Aetna, the largest U.S. health insurer, said today fourth-quarter earnings from continuing operations fell 65 percent percent, as higher medical costs cut into profits.
Hartford, Conn.-based Aetna, which has about 19 million health-care members in the United States, said fourth-quarter earnings from continuing operations dropped to $28.7 million, or 20 cents a share, following the recent divestiture of its financial services and international segments. That compares with operating earnings of $81 million, or 55 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.
The latest quarter's results beat analysts' consensus forecast of 16 cents, according to First Call/Thomson Financial. First Call said the forecast excluded Aetna's financial services and international businesses, as well as securities gains and losses.
Aetna's medical loss ratio — a crucial industry measurement that compares medical costs such as paying doctors and hospitals against revenues — in its commercial health maintenance organization, or HMO, business rose to 87.2 percent in the quarter. The company's total revenues fell about one percent to $6.6 billion.
Aetna's stock has underperformed the Standard & Poor's Health Care Managed Care index by more than 55 percent in the past year.

Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham has repeatedly attacked and mocked the undocumented immigrants known as the "Dream 9," who in July staged a protest at the U.S.-Mexico border to highlight what they feel are unjust immigration laws. Ingraham has accused the activists of not respecting the laws of the United States, saying that "when you come into our home and make it your home, then you've got to follow the rules."
But far from respecting her nation's laws, Ingraham has hypocritically advocated for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, even going so far as to seemingly agree that shutting down the government over the law wouldn't be the end of world.
Discussing the Dream 9 movement in an interview with undocumented activist Cesar Vargas on Fox News, Ingraham criticized the activists for "flout[ing] the law" and mocked their protest as a "stunt" that was "disrespecting our laws." When Vargas explained that the activists are trying to show that their home's immigration laws are "outdated" and that the immigration system is "broken," Ingraham attacked them as opportunists intent on taking advantage of the Obama administration's deferred action program.
She also told Vargas that if the Dream 9 really consider the United States their home, then they should "respect" their home's law, adding: "When I go into someone else's home, I try to follow their rules. So when you come into our home and make it your home, then you've got to follow the rules."
But contrary to Ingraham's accusations, the Dream 9 have broken no immigration laws with their protest. As she herself admitted, all were brought into the country as children. They did not willingly come into the country illegally.
As the Los Angeles Times further explained, the Dream 9 are a group of undocumented immigrants who "staged an unconventional and risky protest last month at the U.S.-Mexico border to spotlight the thousands of people deported under the Obama administration."
The Wall Street Journal's news section has repeatedly parroted the Republican narrative on border security without pointing out that enforcement, not only along the border but in most areas of immigration law, is greater than ever. This uncritical coverage has allowed congressional Republicans to set the terms of the debate on immigration reform even though the Journal's editorial page has charged that these "border security first" arguments amount to obstructionism.
In an August 4 article highlighting an immigration reform proposal that Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) is reportedly working on, the Journal gave weight to Goodlatte's statement that "[n]o illegal immigrant would gain legal status before efforts were in place to secure the border with Mexico," and Rep. Cory Gardner's (R-CO) argument that "he didn't want to consider" a plan that included a path to citizenship "until the issue of border security had been resolved."
The article did not explain the facts of border enforcement, much less point out that the Republican narrative on the matter "has become a ruse to kill reform." That's the way the Journal described "the real story" behind Republicans "once again demanding more enforcement as the price of their support" in a June 19 editorial titled, "The Border Security Ruse."
In a May 2 editorial that offered a "border security reality check," the Journal mocked the "porous border" argument and noted that "[c]ontrary to Republican claims that President Obama has turned a blind eye to illegal aliens, the official data indicate the opposite." It continued:
One lesson is that we can continue to militarize the border, but at some point it becomes overkill. The Republicans who claim we must "secure the border first" ignore the progress already made because their real goal isn't border security. It is to use border security as an excuse to kill immigration reform.
The editorial went on to cite relevant data to show that fewer immigrants will come illegally if you "[g]ive people more legal ways to enter and exit America."
A July 9 editorial asking whether the GOP would prove to be a "party of opportunity or closed borders," added: "Too often Americans hear the shrillest anti-immigration Republicans whose only argument is 'secure the border,' as if that is a sensible policy for the 21st century. House Speaker John Boehner's job is to make sure those voices don't carry the day."
Right-wing media are using a new government report showing that there are a million visitors in the United States who have overstayed their visas to argue that the news will negatively impact immigration reform. However, what these media outlets are missing is that passing a comprehensive immigration bill, like the one that recently cleared the Senate, would largely fix the problem of such overstays as the bill mandates the implementation of a biometric entry-exit data system.
On July 30, the Government Accountability Office released a study reporting that as of June 2013, more than one million visitors in the United States have overstayed their visas -- thus the term overstays. GAO defines an overstay as a "nonimmigrant who is legally admitted to the United States for an authorized period but remains in the country illegally after that period expired without obtaining an extension of stay or a change of status or meeting other specific conditions, such as claiming asylum."
In a segment highlighting the report, Fox News host Heather Nauert claimed that the "news could hurt the debate over that sweeping immigration bill that we've heard so much about."
A July 30 Washington Times article similarly asserted that "the report could hurt immigration deal" and falsely claimed that the Senate immigration bill "waters down" requirements for a biometric system. The Times wrote that the bill "say[s] only that there must be a biographic-based system, which means using a photo, and that it be limited to air and sea ports."
While the number of immigrants who overstay their visas has reportedly sharply declined in the last decade, passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill would greatly alleviate the problem. According to a February 2013 study, overstays declined by 73 percent between 2000 and 2009, thanks to enhanced security measures by DHS in the years following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The immigration bill that passed the Senate on June 27 mandates the implementation of an exit system that will monitor when foreigners leave the country. It also mandates establishing a mandatory biometric exit data system that would require that all foreigners be fingerprinted when exiting the country." The system would have to be implemented at the 10 United States airports that support the highest volume of international air travel" within two years of the bill's passage. Such a system would then be expanded to 30 airports and major sea and land entry and exit points within six years.
A fact sheet of the bill by Sen. Bob Corker's (R-TN) office stated that the "underlying bill improves the identification of overstays through a fully implemented entry/exit system," and that Corker's amendment "goes a step further by mandating the initiation of removal proceedings for at least 90% of visa overstays - holding DHS accountable for failing to enforce the law and targeting an issue that is at the core of a policy of de facto amnesty."
According to an analysis of the bill as passed by the Senate, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill would not only reduce the flow of illegal immigration, it would also greatly impact overstays. CBO concluded that the security measures in the bill would cut illegal immigration and overstays by "between one-third and one-half compared with the projected net inflow under current law."
CBS' Face the Nation reinforced conservative arguments that the Senate immigration bill doesn't strenghten the border, but ignored the Congressional Budget Office report's finding that the Senate bill could cut illegal immigration in half as a result of the bill's border surge amendment.
Fox News used a dishonest graph to distort the Obama administration's record on border enforcement and claim that the border is less secure. Fox's chart painted a misleading picture of Southwest border apprehensions by using an arbitrary time period and an improper scale -- even as illegal border crossings under President Obama are at historic lows.
In several segments on Fox News, correspondent William La Jeunesse highlighted the graph to claim that the Southwest border "is actually less secure," pointing to what he called the "double-digit surge" in border apprehensions from 2011 to 2013 to make his point:
La Jeunesse reported that the numbers for October-April 2013 were released exclusively to Fox News from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
In a report on Happening Now, La Jeunesse touted the graph and highlighted the fact that apprehensions of Central American nationals have risen 13 percent -- leading him to claim that by this standard more people are getting into the United States illegally.
La Jeunesse gave a similar report on Your World using the same graph.
However, the graph La Jeunesse used suffers from several misleading characteristics. First, it depicts an arbitrary time period: October through April, though we're only a few days into the month, for the years 2011 to 2013 -- which takes into account only half of Obama's first term. Moreover, the graph has a skewed scale -- making the 27,000 jump from 2011 to 2013 seem more dramatic than it actually is.
Fox News hosts speculated that uniforms made in Mexico for the U.S. Border Patrol could end up in the wrong hands and ultimately fuel situations similar to those in Afghanistan -- where Taliban fighters wearing Afghan security or coalition uniforms have launched attacks on U.S. soldiers. In fact, no such attack related to Border Patrol uniforms has yet to be reported. Moreover, these uniforms have been manufactured in Mexican factories by an American company for nearly a decade.
In six different instances over two hours, Fox & Friends hosts suggested that Mexicans would be able to use the uniforms to cross the border illegally without notice. Though Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham acknowledged that factories in Mexico manufacture a host of uniforms for American companies, she went on to say of the Border Patrol uniforms:
INGRAHAM: If they're made down there, presumably they could be stolen down there. And we know what happens in insider attacks in Afghanistan where we've lost incredible men who have donated and served this country so proudly.
But as a June 2004 Washington Times report explained, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) contract allowed VF Solutions, an American company now known as VF Imagewear, to subcontract its work to Mexico, Canada and the Dominican Republic:
The new uniforms were supplied through a contract with VF Solutions of Nashville, Tenn., which agreed to produce 30,000 shirts and pants for CBP agents and inspectors for the 2003-04 fiscal year that began Oct. 1. But the contract allows the company to subcontract its work to other facilities in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Dominican Republic.
During their significant coverage of his stand against the Obama administration's drone policy, the media have failed to examine Republican Sen. Rand Paul's support for surveillance drones in border states. Now that Paul has come out in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, media outlets have an opportunity to highlight this dichotomy -- especially in light of the fact that his immigration framework requires that drones be used to target immigrants.
In a February 11 Washington Times op-ed announcing his support for immigration reform, Paul wrote:
As a matter of both national security and immigration policy, though, it is absolutely essential that we both secure our border and modernize our visa system so we know who comes and who goes on travel, student and other temporary visas. It is vital all other reforms be conditioned on this goal being met.
Border security, including drones, satellite and physical barriers, vigilant deportation of criminals and increased patrols would begin immediately and would be assessed at the end of one year by an investigator general from the Government Accountability Office.
During an interview on Sean Hannity's radio show, Paul similarly stated that border enforcement should include "a combination of a lot of things," such as satellite imagery and drones. He then went on to dismiss his earlier stance against drones, adding that "for border security, you can use drones for surveillance. That's protecting our country." Hannity did not question Paul over the disconnect between these positions.
Similarly, media have largely ignored Paul's comments calling for drones to target immigrants, even though his stance is not new.

Fox News contributor Monica Crowley attacked an immigration reform proposal by claiming the federal government has failed to protect the U.S.-Mexico border. However, recent reports show that undocumented migration from Mexico has come to a halt, and border security is at an all-time high.
After a bipartisan group of senators announced a proposal to overhaul the U.S. immigration system that will focus on -- among other initiatives -- border security and opening a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently in the country, Crowley blasted the federal government for failing to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, causing states like Arizona to take matters of border security into their own hands. Crowley said drastic measures are needed because "the federal government either has not or will not enforce [the U.S.-Mexico] border."
However, Crowley's suggestion that current border security is not capable of enforcing our laws is wrong. An April 2012 report by the Pew Hispanic Center explained that net migration flow from Mexico to the U.S. has been reduced to zero and may be headed in the other direction:
After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants--most of whom came illegally--the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped and may have reversed, according to a new analysis of government data from both countries by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center.
Among the causes for lower undocumented immigration, the report points to heightened border enforcement, increased amount of deportations, and the growing danger of illegal border crossings.
On The O'Reilly Factor, guest host Laura Ingraham discussed the June 25 Supreme Court ruling striking down several parts of Arizona's immigration law. While talking to Chuck Rocha of the American Worker Latino Project, Ingraham used phony statistics to smear immigrants as criminals and fearmongered about an immigrant invasion that isn't happening.
While talking to Rocha, Ingraham implied immigrants commit more crimes than native-born Americans, citing anecdotes about crimes committed by undocumented immigrants and concluding with the dubious claim that "13 or 12 people a day" "are killed under DUIs by illegals":
INGRAHAM: A lot of these people just say, you know, look, my kids' school has crowded classrooms. Our health care costs are still ballooning. We just had this case just a few months ago in Chicago -- this guy wasn't deported. He ended up running over a 66-year-old insurance salesman -- 66-year-old man dead because this illegal immigrant was not reported to ICE, and he was never deported. We have people killed all over this country. Girls raped, little baby girls raped in Escondido, horrible story over the last six months. What do you say to those families?
ROCHA: I say to those families that you are talking about just a small portion of the immigrants who are here.
INGRAHAM: Doesn't feel small to the mother whose daughter was raped by an illegal immigrant, does it?
ROCHA: That's right. That person should be deported and should be dealt with by every extent of the law.
ROCHA: Let's be clear that we have 12 million immigrants that are in this nation. There's going to be a small portion of that just like a small portion who are here legally, who were born here --
INGRAHAM: Right, but the point is, they were born here. And crime is crime. But when people weren't supposed to be here in the first place, that crime would have never been committed. Isn't that the case?
ROCHA: That is the case to a certain extent.
INGRAHAM: No. To a -- that is the case. Is it not?
ROCHA: No, no. No, it's not the case. We have a broken system.
INGRAHAM: So the people -- the 13 or 12 people a day who are killed under DUIs by illegals -- those people would be alive if our immigration laws were enforced.
This would be indeed be shocking if true, since it would mean that almost half of DUI fatalities in the United States were caused by undocumented immigrants, who make up an estimated 4 percent of the population.
From the May 21 edition of Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight:
Loading the player reg...
This Wednesday the U.S. Supreme Court will decide if portions of Arizona's controversial immigration enforcement law, Senate Bill 1070, are inconsistent with federal law and therefore must be struck down. Fox has taken this opportunity to push misleading talking points about Arizona's immigration enforcement law and to continue to fearmonger about crime in Arizona.
Fox News' Fox & Friends made considerable contributions to the field of conservative of misinformation throughout 2011. The efforts of co-hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, and Brian Kilmeade -- as well as their rotating cast of fill-in hosts and Curvy Couch guests -- have made Fox & Friends the top misinformer on Fox News in 2011.

Casa Delia is part of a group of 10 apartments, built in traditional Italian style, which cling to the hillside. The apartment is extremely spacious, especially for 2 people (as we were). Some of the fixtures & fittings (e.g. bathroom) are slightly old and worn, and a few of the window shutters did not open fully, but aside from that , everything else was in good functioning order and the place is very clean. The terrace is very large with fantastic views over Atrani and the sea. Because of its orientation the terrace gets the sun from around 11-4pm. There is a barbeque which was great when we wanted to cook for ourselves. The gardens/landscaping is beautiful with fruit trees & flowers; the pool area is clean (if the pool is rather cold!) and quite often we found we were the only ones at the pool. The walk form Atrani (400 steps) is good for burning off the calories! (would not be so good with a pram though).
Sadly Atrani had just been hit by a terrible mudslide ... mehr

Pull the plug on Balboa Park committee
Letters to the editor for Feb. 26, 2014: Centennial committee; Sgt. Peralta; judge's race; e-cigs; splitting California; transgender law; medical coding; military uniform in court
One element of a fair trial is an impartial judge and jury. That which irrelevantly portrays one litigant as somehow "better" (i.e., patriotic, heroic, etc.) gives that litigant an unfair advantage over the other.
It is the judge's duty to provide a fair arena for the legal battle, and his order against wearing the uniform seems clearly in furtherance of this duty. If the issue is maintaining impartiality, it makes no difference whether the soldier is or is not intentionally seeking an advantage, and so the judge's order should not be understood as critical of the soldier.
This is not the same situation as a uniformed police officer testifying, as long as that officer is testifying about something that occurred in the performance of his duties. If instead that police officer was in litigation, say, with a neighbor about a disputed fence, it would be wrong for a judge to allow the officer to appear in court in uniform over the objection of the other party.

"Pigs are Haram!" Undercover Police Confronted on May Day
This past May Day, autonomous/anarchist people of color held a contingent of about 75 people within the Sin Fronteras' Immigrant Solidarity march. Although the contingent had a clear non-reformist and unapologetic stance about immigration, they spent the day in solidarity with those struggling against unjust labor and immigration policies.
The mood of the march was joyous and celebratory. During the march, two Muslim anarchists spotted large men who seemed out of place and were paying too much attention to the group. One cop was snapping photos of the Muslims within the contingent. Demonstrating proper Addab (Islamic etiquette), the Muslim anarchists confronted the men who were clearly undercover police, stopped them from taking photos, and with the support of the rest of the autonomous/anarchist contingent sent them on their way with chants of "Pigs Out!" and "Pigs are Haraam!" Embarrassed and exposed, the two undercover officers slipped away through the crowds watching the spectacle.
Comments (Hide Comments)
a multiracial person can be ticked off at these black and other minority cops doing their fascist deeds. a multiracial can also be offended by black athletes homophobia. these black and minority cops do not like multiracials. they always do the deeds of their ''white'' overseers. a multiracial who risked life for all people, only to find these black and minority cops doing this. it will cause people to speak to people more about what police state is doing.
I am a little puzzled by some activists being referred to as '' Muslim Anarchists ''. Yeah Anarchists certainly be of Muslim descent but are you saying they're practicing Muslims ?
If so that certainly seems to be a BIG contradiction !

Most of the identified C. pseudotuberculosis exoproteins were predicted by the SurfG+ program as having an extracytoplasmic localization. The proteins identified in the exoproteomes of each C. pseudotuberculosis strain were analyzed by SurfG+ and attributed a probable final sub-cellular localization. Proteins classified as having a cytoplasmic localization were further analyzed with the SecretomeP tool for prediction of non-classical (leaderless) secretion. Besides, literature evidence for exportation by non-classical pathways was also used to re-classify the cytoplasmic proteins (see text for details). SE = secreted; PSE = potentially surface exposed; C = cytoplasmic; M = membrane; NCS = non-classically secreted.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
Heat ghee in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden brown (do not turn), 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add onion, garlic, and ginger to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is very soft and golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Add tomato paste, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and cardamom and cook, stirring often, until tomato paste is beginning to darken, about 4 minutes.
Add chicken, broth, tomato purée, and cream to pot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, skimming occasionally, until chicken is almost falling off the bone and liquid is slightly thickened, 1 1/2–2 hours.
Add potatoes to pot and cook, partially covered, until potatoes are fork-tender, chicken is falling off the bone, and liquid is thick enough to coat a spoon, 30–45 minutes. Remove skin and bones from chicken, if desired, and return meat to pot; season stew with salt and pepper.
Divide stew among bowls, top with yogurt and mint, and serve with naan, flatbread, or rice.
DO AHEAD: Stew can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

According to the Heat Vision blog, Mike Finch and Alex Litvak, who wrote the script for the "Predators" reboot, will write the "Masters of the Universe" script for Columbia.
"Masters of the Universe" featured He-Man, Skeletor and other highly muscled sword-and-sorcery characters in the land of Eternia. Warner Bros. departed from the project after being unable to come to agreement with Mattel on the direction of the property, according to Heat Vision.
According to a 2009 MovieTickets.com poll, He-Man was the most desirable 1980s animated property to be re-made into a film.
