In 1991, when ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates & Producers) held the first of its annual tasting extravaganzas in San Francisco, there was little inkling of just how big an event it would become. All the original organizers knew is that Zinfandel – a cultivar singled out by California's winegrowing pioneers as far back as the 1850s – was in danger of becoming an under-appreciated grape, and they wanted to exhibit an unprecedented show of unity in support of this varietal wine, while offering consumers an opportunity to experience the best of them in one place. A smash-hit from the get-go,.. VIEW MORE »

Snapshots of Lodi's 2014 harvest: coming in fast and furious
The second week of September is usually when the California grape harvest is just getting started. This year, at this same time, many growers and vintners are saying that they are more than a third of the way through. Why the accelerated time table? Three things conspired to upset 2014's grape carts to some extent: • Spring bud break and flowering occurred two weeks (or more) ahead of normal, pushing up harvest dates accordingly. • Because grape vines respond to year-to-year variables, the larger than usual crop sizes of the two previous vintages (2012 and 2013) pre-ordained a more moderate..

Wine writers appreciate Lodi grown Zinfandel in unprecedented fashion
The Lodi Native project is making an impact on how the region is perceived from the outside This past week, two widely read and respected wine bloggers – Elaine Brown of Hawk Wakawaka Wine Reviews, and Fred Swan of norcalwine.com – shared thoughts on the unique qualities of Lodi AVA grown Zinfandel in a detailed fashion that can only be described as unprecedented. At least for wine professionals living and working outside the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

text: So I just found out I have a child on the way and I need a Family friendly 4 door car. Late last year I had A brand New short block MOD 850 (Stroker 5.0) built by Modular Mustang Racing A.K.A MMR (Modular Mustang Racing). GTR High Performance (GTRHiPo.com) installed the motor. The Motor and install was well over 7 grand including rebuilding the heads. So this is a BRAND NEW ENGINE. I have put about 6,000 miles on the set up and I have all the supporting paper work to give the new owner. The body has 116,000 miles on it. Also last year the rear end failed and I replaced I the parts with stronger better parts, 31 spline Eaton LSD Tom's 31 spline Axles and 3.90 gears. All parts installed by GTR High Performance...Again I have all the paper work to show when and what was done. I also have a indash TV installed and JLT true cold air intake. When I bought the car it had and still has sub frames, and X-pipe (not sure what brand) Super 44 flowmasters $9,000 OBO. Racing the car in the past I have lifted the front wheels on a 1.5 60 foot and run 12.6 at Fontana. The car is very fast and fun to drive For pics check my Garage...Also this is a 5 speed transmission and the clutch was replaced at the same time as the Motor was installed. The car is in SoCal. About 40 miles outside Los Angeles. The fastest way to get to me is by Email. [email protected]

Old Ugly BBQ Trailer Build!
I really wanted to get a trailer that could house all my BBQ cooking and competition stuff all in one place. I just didn't have the funds to go out and get one that was done. So I looked and looked craigslist ebay everywhere finally I found one that was in my price range. It was listed on ebay classifieds. It was just a few hours away so after a little email haggling. I got him down on his price.
I found a home built 1960's enclosed trailer. I loaded the wife and kids up and drove 3 hours away to "take a closer look". When I got up to it It was not the prettiest trailer I have ever seen but I could see what I wanted. I pointed out all the problems and talked him down another hundred…
There is not any dry wall in there! I am trying not to add weight till I have to add weight… It is 1/4″ coroplast or signboard. I got it at cost from a sign shop. It is plastic cardboard very easy to use and light. It cuts with a knife. I used a lot of it in model airplanes and so on.
This is what I have done so far.

|Jan 1st, 1970
|Info Hash:
In the year 2000, Theses & Dissertations Press started an ambitious series of scholarly books addressing various topics of the so-called Jewish 'Holocaust' of the WWII era. They all have a highly critical, if not skeptical attitude toward the commonly held views on this topic, and are usually referred to as "revisionist" in nature. These books are designed to have the power to both convince the common reader as well as academics in this field. The final goal is to eventually tip the academic scale, so that academia will start doing its duty: to demand and pursue public scrutiny of this most influential topic of all western societies. Because as long as academics don't do this, the media and politicians certainly will not do it either.
So far, the following books have appeared in this series (to learn more about them, click on the link):
Volume 1: Germar Rudolf (ed.), Dissecting the Holocaust. The Growing Critique of 'Truth' and 'Memory', 2nd., revised paperback edition
Dissecting the Holocaust applies state-of-the-art scientific technique and classic methods of detection to investigate the alleged murder of millions of Jews by Germans during World War II. In 22 contributions of each ca. 30 pages, the 17 authors dissect generally accepted paradigms of the 'Holocaust'. It reads as exciting as a crime novel. This is the intellectual adventure of the 21st century.
Volume 2: Germar Rudolf, The Rudolf Report. Expert Report on Chemical and Technical Aspects of the "Gas Chambers" of Auschwitz
The so-called Leuchter Report about the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz and Majdanek has been subject to massive, and partly justified, criticism. Rudolf wrote a thorough forensic study about the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz which irons out the deficiencies and discrepancies of the Leuchter Report. The Rudolf Report is the first English edition of this sensational scientific work.
Volume 3: Jürgen Graf, The Giant With Feet of Clay. Raul Hilberg and his Standard Work on the 'Holocaust'
Raul Hilberg's major work The Destruction of European Jewry is generally considered the standard work on the Holocaust. Jürgen Graf applies the methods of critical analysis to Hilberg's evidence and examines the results in the light of Revisionist historiography. The results of Graf's critical analysis are devastating for Hilberg.
Volume 4: Jürgen Graf, Carlo Mattogno, Concentration Camp Stutthof and its Function in National Socialist Jewish Policy
According to communist literature, the Stutthof camp was a 'makeshift' extermination camp within the framework of the so-called 'Final Solution of the Jewish Question' in 1944. Jürgen Graf and Carlo Mattogno have examined this view of Stutthof. Not only do the authors prove that the Stutthof camp did not serve as a 'makeshift' extermination camp...
Volume 5: Jürgen Graf, Carlo Mattogno, Concentration Camp Majdanek. A Historical and Technical Study
Common information available on the Madjanek camp is thoroughly discredited Polish Communists propaganda. With their exhaustive study, Mattogno and Graf expertly dissect and repudiate the myth of homicidal gas chambers at Majdanek. They also investigated the legendary mass executions of Jews in tank trenches ("Operation Harvest Festival" critically and prove them groundless.
Volume 6: Don Heddesheimer, The First Holocaust. Jewish Fund Raising Campaigns With Holocaust Claims During And After World War One
Supported with many publications, in particular from The New York Times, the author shows that between 1916 and the late 1920s, mainly American Jewish organizations were claiming that up to six million Jews(!) would suffer terribly in Eastern Europe and would face a holocaust if they did not receive massive aid.
Volume 7: Arthur R. Butz, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, third, revised and expanded edition
Professor A. R. Butz was the first (and so far the only) writer to treat the entire Holocaust complex from the Revisionist perspective, in a precise scientific manner. This book exhibits the overwhelming force of historical and logical arguments which Revisionism had accumulated by the middle of the 70s. This new edition comes with several supplements adding new information.
Volume 8: Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf, Treblinka. Extermination Camp or Transit Camp?
It is claimed that at Treblinka camp, between 700,000 and 3,000,000 Jews were murdered in 1942 and 1943. The weapons used were alleged to have been stationary and/or mobile gas chambers, poison gases of both fast acting and slow acting varieties, unslaked lime, superheated steam, electricity, diesel exhaust fumes... This thorough study exposes the Treblinka hoax.
Volume 9: Carlo Mattogno, Belzec in Propaganda, Testimonies, Archeological Research, and History
It is claimed that at Belzec camp, between 600,000 and 3,000,000 Jews were murdered in 1941 and 1942. The weapons used were alleged to have been diesel gas chambers; unslaked lime in trains; high voltage; vacuum chambers... The official image of Belzec is explained and thoroughly criticized. Forensic excavations were performed in the late 1990s in Belzec, the results of which are explained and critically reviewed.
Volume 10: Carlo Mattogno, Special Treatment in Auschwitz
According to official historiography, terms like "special treatment," or "special action," when occurring in German documents in the context of the "Holocaust", were camouflage words which really meant the killing of inmates.
By bringing numerous documents into their proper historical context, Carlo Mattogno shows that this interpretation is profoundly wrong...
Volume 11: Carlo Mattogno, The Bunkers of Auschwitz. Black Propaganda versus History
The so-called "Bunkers†at Auschwitz are claimed to have been the first homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz specifically erected for this purpose in early 1942. With help of the files of the Auschwitz construction office, this study shows that these "Bunkers†never existed, how the rumors of these alleged gas chambers evolved as black propaganda created by resistance groups within the camp, and how this propaganda was transformed into 'reality' by historians.
Volume 12: Ingrid Weckert, Jewish Emigration from the Third Reich
The emigration of Jews from the Third Reich is often depicted as some kind of secret action, as if Jews who wished to leave Germany had to sneak across the borders, leaving all their possessions and wealth behind. The truth is that the emigration was welcomed by the German authorities. German and Jewish authorities worked closely together. Weckert's booklet explains such legal determinations, thereby augmenting the traditionally received picture of Jews emigrating from Germany.
Volume 13: Carlo Mattogno, The Central Construction Office in Auschwitz
Based upon documents form Moscow archives, this study describes the history, organization, tasks, and procedures of the Central Construction Office of the Waffen-SS and Police Auschwitz. It provides a deep understanding of this office, which was responsible for the planning and construction of the Auschwitz camp complex.
Volume 14: Germar Rudolf (ed.), Auschwitz: Plain Facts. A Response to Jean-Claude Pressac
During the late 1980/early 1990s, late French scholar Jean-Claude Pressac published two books that where hailed as the ultimate refutation of revisionist arguments. This book exposes the massive flaws and incredible deficiencies of Pressac's unscientific work. With contribution by Germar Rudolf, Serge Thion, Robert Faurisson, and Carlo Mattogno.
Volume 15: Germar Rudolf, Lectures on the Holocaust. Controversial Issues Cross Examined
Since 1991, German scholar Germar Rudolf does researching, publishing, and lecturing on the Holocaust. This book offers the main arguments for being skeptic about the Holocaust in a very sensitive way. All arguments and counter-arguments are discussed in a virtual exchange with the reader. The best introduction to revisionism one can find.
Volume 16: Fred A. Leuchter, Robert Faurisson, Germar Rudolf, The Leuchter Reports. Critical Edition
Between 1988 and 1991, American expert on execution technologies Fred Leuchter wrote four expert reports addressing the question whether or not the Third Reich operated homicidal gas chambers. The first report on Auschwitz and Majdanek became world famous. This edition republishes all four reports, and accompanies the first one with critical notes and research updates.
Volume 17: Carlo Mattogno, Auschwitz: Open Air Incinerations
Due to a restricted capacity of the Auschwitz crematoria, hundreds of thousands of corpses of murdered victims are said to have been incinerated in fires lit in deep trenches in Auschwitz. This study investigates all the documentary, physical, and anecdotal evidence. Carlo Mattogno shows that the stories about these open air incinerations, although based on a kernel of truth, are vastly exaggerated, and their homicidal background is untrue.
Volume 18: Germar Rudolf, Carlo Mattogno, Auschwitz Lies. Legends, Lies, and Prejudices on the Holocaust
What do Prof. G. Wellers, Prof. J. Markiewicz, Prof. J. Roth, Dr. R. Green, Prof. J. Zimmerman, and Prof. M. Shermer have in common? They all tried to refute the scientific findings of Holocaust revisionism -- and they all failed. This volume discusses these and more authors and exposes their attempts at refutation as a mixture of scientific bungling and fraud.
Volume 20: Carlo Mattogno, Auschwitz: The First Gassing. Rumor and Reality
The first gassing of human beings in Auschwitz is claimed to have occurred on Sept. 3, 1941. The accounts reporting it are the archetypes for all later gassing accounts. This study exhibits the sources about this alleged event and analyzes them critically. It shows that these sources contradict each other in every essential point, rendering it impossible to extract a consistent story. Original wartime documents inflict a final blow to the tale of the first homicidal gassing.
Volume 21: Carlo Mattogno, Auschwitz: Crematorium I and the Alleged Homicidal Gassings
The morgue of crematorium I in the Auschwitz concentration camp is said to have been the first location where mass gassings of Jews occurred over an extended period of time. This study investigates all the documentary, physical, and anecdotal evidence. Carlo Mattogno shows that this morgue always was only what it was meant to be: a morgue.

In the unlikely event that you don't spend most of the year playing through the titles on Maximum PC's list of the " most anticipated PC games of 2013 " and have some time to spare for other, lesser gaming machines, at least make sure you spend it with a proper eighth-generation console — the "proper" is meant to exclude the Wii U — and not the ones that are about to turn eight. But where are the eighth-generation consoles, you might ask?
We are likely to find out more about one of them in about three weeks' time. Sony on Thursday released a video that teases a special Playstation event scheduled for February 20, 2013. The company published the video on the official Playstation blog under the heading "
See the Future
." According to reports, it has also
sent out emails inviting tech journalists to the event, which is simply called "Playstation Meeting 2013."
Obviously, all this has led to speculation that Sony is finally all set to unveil the Playstation 4 , reportedly codenamed Orbis, and we, too, can't come up with a better reason for why Sony is hosting this event.

When we breathe, air passes through our airways (the tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs) to get to our lungs. In someone with asthma, the airways are inflamed, which means that they swell and produce lots of thick mucus. The muscles surrounding the airways also tighten, which makes the already clogged airways even narrower. These narrow, swollen, and mucus-filled airways are obstructed - in other words, they don't let air through as easily as healthy airways. Obstructed airways can lead to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Policy Basics: The 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts
March 5, 2009
Note: This Policy Basics does not reflect tax changes made in the American Taxpayers Relief Act, or ATRA, passed in January 2013.
The biggest changes in tax policy enacted under President George W. Bush were the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, often referred to as the "Bush tax cuts" but formally named the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.
What Are Their Main Features?
The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts reduced the top four marginal income tax rates (see table), as well as the tax rate on capital gains and dividends. They also phased out the estate tax, repealing it entirely in 2010.
In addition, the tax cuts included three components often referred to as "middle-class" tax cuts, though many higher-income families benefit from them as well. One provision created a new bottom income tax rate of 10 percent for some of the income previously taxed at a 15 percent rate. Another provision increased the Child Tax Credit from $500 to $1,000 per child and made many low-income working families eligible for the credit. The third provision was "marriage penalty relief" -- a set of changes that reduced taxes for some married couples.
Nearly all of the tax cuts are scheduled to expire at the end of 2010.
How Much Do They Cost?
The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts added about $1.7 trillion to deficits between 2001 and 2008. Because they have been financed by borrowing -- which increases the national debt -- this figure includes the extra interest costs resulting from that additional debt.
This figure also includes the cost of "patching" the Alternative Minimum Tax to keep the tax from hitting millions of upper-middle-class households, a problem the tax cuts helped cause. (See Policy Basics: The Alternative Minimum Tax.)
Over the next decade (2009-2018), making the tax cuts permanent would cost $4.4 trillion, assuming that the tax cuts remain deficit-financed.
Whom Do They Benefit The Most?
A very large share of the value of the tax cuts flows to high-income taxpayers. In fact, the top 1 percent of households -- a group with incomes over $450,000 in 2008 -- would receive 31 percent of the tax cuts' benefits over the next ten years if the tax cuts were made permanent.

Mercury, the dualistic planet of communication, has two home signs: Gemini and Virgo. Its stay in one of them, Gemini, opens a door to clear seeing, objectivity and mental flexibility. Take in Mercury's breath of fresh Gemini air, and let curiosity teach your mind how to be young again.
Gemini is an air sign associated with cool detachment and reason. Air signs (Libra and Aquarius are the others) love to watch and comment, but don't like to get their hands dirty or their emotions overheated. With less interference from feelings, Mercury is able to do its job of collecting and passing along information quite well at this time.
Both Mercury and Gemini are into data, leaving philosophy, meaning and big picture concerns to others. This means that talk may come more easily for all of us now, even though real truth could be hard to find. This is a time when reality comes in more than one flavor. Facts, compelling as they might be, do not necessarily equal wisdom.
Diverse ideas are more common now, which could easily lead to distraction. Staying on track and prioritizing may require some extra attention.
Mercury in the sign of the Twins is common in the charts of songwriters such as Paul McCartney, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Joel, Brian Wilson and the Gemini formerly known as Prince. Gifted communicators among actors with this combination include Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep (the queen of accents), Rupert Everett, Dennis Hopper, Helen Hunt, Marilyn Monroe, Courtney Cox Arquette and Sandra Bernhard.
Athletic agility, particularly related to Mercury-ruled hands, is obvious for Joe Montana, Sugar Ray Leonard, Steffi Graf and Marvin Hagler. Basketballer Dennis Rodman is a Merc in Gemini whose mouth has frerquently gotten him into trouble.
Political talkers in this group include Newt Gingrich, Ross Perot, Henry Kissinger and Mario Cuomo�not a shy one among them. And, for some strange reason, Mercury in Gemini includes more than its fair share of murderous bad boys: John Hinkley, Mark David Chapman and Jeffrey Dahmer.
Fortunately, the soul is not bound by the symbol. The mystery of life is that given the same equipment, individuals will use it quite differently. The Dalai Lama, born with Mercury in Gemini, is a luminous reminder of the clarity and compassion that can be held within one human mind and heart.

Detention is Ineffective:
The current tactics of the Border Patrol are ineffective. The number of migrants crossing the border since 1993 has doubled.[2]
Unnecessary Mistreatment of Border Crossers and Migrant Deaths at the Border
One of the primary causes for increases in deaths and human smuggling involves the erection of border walls. The border walls do not discourage migrants from trying to cross the border. Migrants instead look for other paths hoping to avoid detection. The consequence is migrants choosing more remote and dangerous terrains like hot deserts in the warmer climate or freezing cold mountain paths during the winter. Studies show a direct link between the rerouting of migration and the increases in migrant deaths and human smuggling.[4]
Use of Bed Quotas:
Another main criticism of existing policy involves the government's use of the bed quota. Under current ICE regulations there is a required average of holding 34,000 detainees on a daily basis.

In November of 2008, the Border Network for Human Rights, the Border Action Network, and the U.S.-Mexico Border and Immigration Task Force published recommendations for policy along the US-Mexico border. The Task Force's recommendations included: [17]
(1) Enforce community security through focusing on dangerous criminals, traffickers, and exploiters rather than non-threatening immigrants;
(2) Implement policies that require agencies to be accountable to the communities in which they operate and improve procedures by offering better human rights training to officers, strengthening complaint procedures, and decreasing racial profiling;
(3) Overhaul complaint and oversight procedures;
(4) Halt the construction of the border wall, which is both not cost effective and ineffective at keeping individuals from crossing the border;
(5) Refrain from using federal and state laws and resources to pressure local agencies into immigration-enforcement roles;
(6) Not using the military to enforce civilian law.
In 2012, the Woodrow Wilson center compiled recommendations for strengthening US-Mexico border relations, which focused on the political and economic ties between the two countries. The recommendations included:[18]
(1) Create a Joint North American Production and Export Platform by negotiating trade agreements as a bloc and make border crossings more efficient;
(2) Support Mexico's judicial reform, by training public officials and targeting organized crime;
(3) Improve the American immigration system by focusing on the visa system;
(4) Promote regional economic integration;
(5) Develop an education exchange that increases Mexico's access to graduate education;
(6) Focus on energy cooperation in North America;
(7) Employ risk-management techniques at border ports;
On February 20, 2013, Ray Walsler, Ph.D. and Jessica Zuckerman wrote an issue brief for the Heritage Foundation, in which they suggested policy reforms regarding the U.S.-Mexico border enforcement program. Their policy suggestions included [19]:

In a heavily guarded 90 minutes experience they were granted access to meet and interview a number of detainees who had signed up to meet with the visitors. A regular statement of the detainees about what it had been like when they were caught by the Border Patrol was their being placed in rooms they referred to as "ice lockers." The air conditioning is kept at extremely cold levels, detainees are deprived of warm clothing and are fed one sandwich per day.

State Defiance of Federal Border Control
On April 23, 2010 the Governor of Arizona signed a law passed by the legislature that allowed police officers to demand proof of citizenship to a person they have reason to suspect is in violation of the law and in the country illegally. The law triggered a heated national debate over racial politics and immigration control. It was the culmination of an anti-illegal alien legislative campaign that had begun at the local level in towns like Hazelton, Pennsylvania. Communities seeing the rising numbers of incoming migrant laborers from Mexico and Central America were saying "enough!" and taking "immigration reform" into their own hands. Residents of Arizona divided along political and racial lines in favor of and opposition to SB 1070. Similar statutes were passed and justified as needing to oust "illegal aliens" in order to protect our borders against terrorism. SB 1070 invited criticism that it fostered racial profiling and xenophobia (bigotry toward foreigners) and discrimination against citizens and permanent residents who were non-white and spoke a different language or English with an accent. To civil rights activists the law appeared to directly target what the constitutional lawyers refer to as a "discrete and insular minority," those who simply are perceived as "illegal aliens" by their looks, or their speech, even if they are legal residents or naturalized citizens. It privileges those who fit another stereotype, that of "real Americans," i.e., persons who look Anglo/European, for whom English is the sole or primary language, etc. It is a law difficult to defend as an aid against terrorism; if anything the rhetoric of anti-terrorism has been conveniently conflated with historic racial/ethnic anti-immigrant hostility. In Arizona, the history of the white-brown racial tensions lurk in the background of such recently launched crazy projects as the $50 million border fence campaign.
In the context of the State of Arizon's long history of anti-Mexican attitude and persecution, SB 1070 appeared to be infused with old racialized resentments and a lashing out of white dominant power against its latino residents and citizens. Anger divided supporters and opponents alike. Was this nothing but an effort to hold on to power in the face of statistics projecting the rise of the Latino majority by the 21st century? As such the law, which has heavy support from white Arizonans, seemingly pacified the feelings of panic and sense of loss, that there are too many of these different, dangerous looking people invading their state. But the passage of this law raises another question, and that is what it does to federal-state relations, given that SB 1070 challenges the constitutional rule that immigration and border control is the business of the federal government not the states. Has the state of Arizona's bold legislative act resurrected historic constitutional battles in state-federal relations?
Challenging the Exclusive Federal Authority Over Immigration and Border Control
In the fall of 2005 a Republican controlled House of Representatives passed HR 4437 a proposed bill to enact one of the harshest immigration laws ever. Labeled the "Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act," the draconian measures in the bill were seen as an attack by immigrants all over the country as it would have charged any person illegally in the country as a felon. Opposition to HR 4437 triggered nationwide marches for immigrants' rights which essentially killed further action on HR 4437. By 2006 towns across America, beginning with Hazelton, Pennsylvania, began a wave of backlash legislative activity, passing ordinances labeled as immigration reform laws that made illegal providing harbor or residence to known illegal aliens, prohibiting the delivery of public services to non-citizens, and requiring police officers to check the citizenship status of persons they suspected were in the country illegally.
Historical Context for Enduring Conflict at the Southern Border
Underlying the all out war between Latin American immigrants and states like Arizona to keep out unwanted "aliens" is the complex history of the border. The Southern border/frontera is both real and imagined. There is the physical separation effected by natural or man made boundaries (e.g., the Rio Grande, the Mexican border wall), and there is the effect of the metaphorical border, a felt need by many Americans to view and treat their southern neighbors as socio-culturally different, separate and inferior, etc. The story of how the "brown" Southern border with Mexico came to be, especially as distinguished from the "white" border with Canada, is filled accounts of thievery by white settlers of Mexican-owned lands in the 19th century in an effort to get at what remained of the western frontier. Justified by the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, lands once owned by Mexico became what is today most of the Southwest following the war with Mexico, which ended in 1848. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo signed at the war's end, in theory guaranteed equality of civil rights to the conquered Mexicans, but instead initiated a long and enduring period of second class status and discrimination against Mexican-Americans. In the history of the southern border there are stories of genocide, state-sanctioned expropriation of wealth, land displacement, and terror against Mexicans. White settlers tried to ensure that what had been Mexico should be repopulated in ways guaranteed to maintain Anglo white political power. Mexicans were in the majority in places like Arizona; despite their numbers it was whites who maintained political power through the 1870s. The racial history of the Southwest includes rape and lynchings of Blacks, but also of Mexicans.
Bigotry and prejudice do not die easily in a culture's history. SB 1070 is a law embedded in Arizona's own particular border history with Mexico and Mexican-Americans and is steeped in a history of bitter racial tensions between Anglo whites or assimilated Mexicans who resent the presence of recent immigrants from Mexico. Yet another historic pattern is at work. SB 1070 revisits the injustices of the 1930s when thousands of Mexicans and their American children were deported or "repatriated" as a solution to the problems of the Great Depression. This turns SB 1070 into an example of recycled racist strategy to use a troubled economy as pretext to victimize the weakest and most hated social group in the state. Which is why SB 1070 and similar copycat laws and ordinances are being viewed as efforts to license outright racial discrimination and violence against Latina/os, while doing absolutely nothing to enhance border security.
Militarization of the Border as a Symbol of Racial Resentment
Against the unique racial history in Arizona and the antiterrorism rhetoric fueled so much by the past Bush administration, the situation today has turned the Mexican border into a site of racial conflict and politics. Non-whites who walk the border risk being viewed as potential alien terrorists. Mexican American citizens get treated with suspicion for their dark skin color. The rhetoric of anti-terrorism becomes a convenient tool for resurrecting ancient racial hostilities between Anglos and Mexicans that goes back the days before Arizona statehood. Post-9-11 immigration law and policy as now administered by the Department of Homeland Security has a larger budget for border enforcement. Spending increased and the number of border patrol officers doubled under President Bush. President Obama's first budget increased monies for national security. Recently Mr. Obama announced an order to deploy 1200 more national guard troops to the border, an act viewed as hostile by civil right activists and likely to fuel the border racial wars. By equating the border as a frontline defense against terrorism, the militarized border produces draconian security measures that produce aggressive patrolling and interrogation. Human rights activists, who point to the rising number of senseless migrant deaths at the border, rightly question the need for a militarized border that regularly causes loss of life and grave injury to migrant travelers. In the best case scenario the migrant might end up indefinitely jailed in an immigration detention center, but in the worst she risks death or serious injury from being shot at by a border vigilante or exposure to extreme weather conditions.
A Missing Perspective to the Militarized Border: Intersections of Trade Policy and Border Policing
The "border" of course, is more than a tall chain link fence and border cops in the desert. It is also a metaphor for divisions based on race and class that characterize life at the southern border. "The border" holds different meanings of freedom for different people – from a tourism escape, to shopping opportunities, from the source of nannies, maids and gardeners to the door to a business opportunity for an investor under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). For the migrant worker however, the border is closed, unwelcoming and dangerous. But it is also the symbol of hope for a job in a NAFTA factory in one of the hundreds of maquiladoras lining the border today. If no job is available the next step is to cross illegally, as the last act of hope to find work of any kind so as to put an end to a life of grinding poverty she faces at home.
It is ironic that so much of the legislative focus on the Mexican immigrant laborer today is a legacy of past efforts to strengthen the economic ties between the United States and Mexico. Some of this historic economic relationship is represented by the free trade policies that began in the sixties under the Border Industrialization Program (BIP) and continued with NAFTA which was signed by President Clinton in the early nineties. NAFTA sought to accelerate the economic integration of the United States and Mexico, as it sought to impose an artificial—but legally enforceable—separation of labor markets. While capital and commodities were free to cross borders, workers were not. The ideology of neoliberal economics held out the erroneous hope that increased investments by U.S. firms in Mexico would generate employment, reduce poverty, and remove the imperative for migration to the United States. NAFTA failed utterly as a strategy for job creation in Mexico. A perverse logic was at play, as highly competitive and profitable international firms entered the Mexican economy and destroyed smaller, less efficient industries. This, combined with cheap imports, had a devastating impact on the Mexican labor markets and triggered by the mid-nineties even larger waves of migration of farmers from the Mexican southern interior to the border in search of work.
The steady flow of migration, and efforts to criminalize the journey of a person looking for work is symptomatic of the economic interdependence that exists between Mexico and the United States. Today that relationship is even more complicated by the rising levels of violence between organized crime gangs and Mexican government agents as drug lords seek to control the trafficking entry points from Mexico into the U.S. As the media highlights only the violence at the border one is able to see SB 1070 as an act based on fear, as a grasping for comfort over what one cannot control, whether it is the senseless acts of violence of the hardened criminal or the terrorist zealot. It becomes easier to target the vulnerable Mexican who not only has no political power, but also shares physical traits, brown skin and dark hair, with persons from the Middle East. Together with fear and confusion the racial bigot can believe that within her local labor economy, or inside of a low rent apartment complex there is an unfolding plot, being orchestrated by people who look like Muslim U.S.-hating foreigners, to commit the next act of terrorism. The exaggerated fears, embodied in a law like SB 1070, have an inexplicable power to render the migrant from Mexico or Central America as a threat, as not quite human, as a thief of jobs, as deadly narcotraficantes, or as a Middle Eastern "terrorist" intent on raining destruction on the United States. The slippery slope of fear plus ignorance turns every brown skinned border crosser into a potential terrorist, a situation that evokes another painful chapter in American history – of the racial profiling and disenfranchisement of Japanese-Americans that occurred after the bombing at Pearl Harbor during World War II.
Unequal Economics, Unequal Justice
The foreign economic policy of the United States has consistently failed to acknowledge the centrality of Mexican immigrant labor for regional economic growth. "Free trade" agreements are touted as the solution but from a perspective that strictly looks at the annual reports of corporations, not at the pocketbooks or living conditions of the worker in the factories. The economic interdependence and the policies that look to free rather than "fair trade" between the two countries continues to perpetuate the vast inequalities between rich and poor. The economic frameworks and the attendant policies essentially guarantee the continued migration of people in need of work from the interior of Mexico or Central America in search of work or in search of a better life across the border. And as long as there is no change in the historic indispensability of cheap imported labor coming through Mexico to sustain the U.S. agricultural, construction and landscaping industries, to name just a few types of jobs held by undocumented workers, there will be migrants running across Arizona ranchers' lands who risk running into the rifle of a member of such vigilante groups as the Minuteman Project. Under these socio-economic conditions Arizonans who neither see nor comprehend the larger economic framework that dictates the continued flow of migrants trying to cross the border, will demand that their local and state governments do something about it with laws like SB 1070.
The cause for the increasing flow of migration should therefore not be isolated from the socio-economic developments that are tied up in the enforcement of NAFTA or the interests of U.S. corporations to use and abuse of the human and natural resources of Mexico. Arguably, the U.S. drive to achieve global economic dominance depends upon unequal economic relations and the more rational utilization of the labor and natural resources of less-developed economies. But contemporary trade policy consistently dictates that the only prospects for economic growth for the less wealthy nation is accepting the terms of trade set by the United States, which means terms that benefit American corporations who benefit directly from the exploitation of resources of a less wealthy country.
The constant flow of migrants is the most direct evidence of that skewed interdependent relationship where Mexico is made to need the U.S. multinational corporate investor, but under terms that never benefit the working classes of either country. As the corporation reorganizes operations and decides to outsource, it strips the American worker of a job on domestic soil. Meanwhile behind the Mexican migrant's story there is often a complex set of reasons why a family abandoned a farm, or why he was motivated to attempt an illegal crossing, circumstances that may have been the indirect consequence of business deals between the financial elite of both countries and that produced profitable economic results for the investors, and a few rich families, but not the working classes. On the one hand the nation wants secure borders, on the other it wants a healed economy, especially one that makes no room for migrant laborers. The truth is migrant labor is desired by so many U.S. industries that rely on cheap labor to create the comfortable lifestyle Americans also desire. That hated foreigner targeted by laws like SB 1070 is ironically welcomed for her ability to work for cheap wages and resented by the American consumer who benefits directly from that cheap labor. For a U.S. citizenry that does not comprehend the border as metaphor, as more than a physical reality and as a division based on racial and class attitudes, the lives of unauthorized immigrants are therefore insignificant. Arizonans may have reasons to be angry, but they should be angry at the supporters of "free trade" and all of the economic arrangements it entails that affect their own lives, not at Latinas/os whether undocumented or not.
The mandate of the Department of Homeland Security's Border Patrol is to protect U.S. citizens "from threats to the safety and security of our borders." For U.S officials the border continues to be one of the frontlines in the war against terrorism, even if the rhetoric has been watered down by the more progressive sounding Obama administration. This does not prevent states, however, just like Arizona, to continue to appropriate the term "terrorist" for their own political agendas, which, as a border state translates into an obsession over the presence of millions of undocumented migrants. Brown-skinned, "Middle Eastern–looking" males have been victimized by the unjustly harsh penalties and cruel measures of recent antiterrorist laws. Racism has converted antiterrorist legislation, purportedly enacted to protect the civilian population from future atrocities like those of September 11, into a license to disregard the civil and human rights of communities of color who are perceived as potentially sympathetic to the enemies of the United States. State or local laws like SB 1070, which flout federal authority on immigration matters perpetuate the idea that the non-white foreigner can be dehumanized and targeted because of their skin color, ethnicity or language.
From an historical perspective, Arizona's opposition to exclusive federal authority over immigration and border control also conjures up the history of state-federal conflict that emerged post Brown v. Board of Education, after the Supreme Court ordered Southern states to dismantle the system of de jure racial segregation of public schools. Governor Brewer's act of signing SB 1070, fully recognizing that it is the federal government and not states that sets policy on citizenship, immigration and border control, and relying on an argument of 10th Amendment reserved "states rights," resurrects the image of figures like Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus defying federal authority and invoking the doctrine of nullification to prevent attendance of black children in the all white Little Rock high school. Supporters of Arizona's SB1070 have in fact renewed the call of "states rights" to secure their own borders, to take charge on a matter where they see the federal government's authority as inadequate or incompetent.
The anti-immigrant legislative movement, whether local or statewide can also be seen as a movement to legislate racial anger. It is capable of fueling the sentiments of ignorant fear that lead to more outrageous actions, such as the hate crime by two white teenagers leading to the death of a Mexican immigrant in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, which was followed by a nullification of the charge to "misdemeanor assault" by an all white jury. This disturbing trend of allowing the spirit of "immigration reform" to encourage hate crimes, followed by cover-ups or obstructions of justice sympathetic to the perpetrators bear tragic and striking similarities to the state-federal conflicts seen in the civil rights movement.
Without a legal definition to the term "terrorist" it is a convenient term for branding outsiders and dissidents, for turning the suspected terrorist into a non-human, non-citizen, not worthy of concern whether they are entitled to invoke the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. But, to advocates for human rights, the policies that were justified by the past administration as part of an enduring "war on terror" is a war that targets dark-skinned Latinos and Latinas, whether citizens or not. Whether it is NAFTA–related activities in the targeted export-processing zones of large multinational corporations, or more militarized efforts to close off entry by the unwanted or potential terrorist, or indefensible state laws that allow for racial profiling of "illegal aliens," it is clear that current law and policy do not favor the human rights concerns of those who are affected, who have been turned into scapegoats, by official U.S. or state and local efforts to protect against antiterrorism or illegal immigration.

The following provides basic information for persons who have been arrested and detained on suspicion of a criminal offense or of being in violation of the immigration laws by being in this country and working without valid non-citizen work permits. Wherever possible there are links to relevant websites where more detailed and expert information for detainees may be found.
Step #1: Arrest for crime:
After being arrested, you will be transported to a jail. There, a Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent will likely ask you about your immigration status.
You may be placed into removal proceedings if there is a basis under the law to do so. A removal proceeding involves going before an immigration court judge where you explain the reasons for your being in the U.S. without proof of citizenship or legal residence documents (e.g., "green card").
- If you have been arrested on suspicion of having committed a criminal offence, and after serving your time in jail or prison, you will be transferred to a civil ICE/DHS facility. Before this, the DHS agent will first place a detainer on you.[1]
- if arrested by local police, you must be charged with a crime in court within 48 hours. [2]
- this time frame excludes weekends and holidays[3]
Tips during arrest:[4]
o Do not volunteer information to police – - ask for a lawyer!
o You have a right to NOT sign documents or statements.
o You have a right to make a phone call.
o All of your personal belongings will be registered. Ask for a receipt. Also, make sure your legal documents are processed as personal property.
o You will be given a Notice to Appear, which contains the charges against you.
o Know your A Number, which is your alien registration number.
Note that U.S. ICE/DHS immigration officials must take you into custody within 2 days of your jail or prison sentence. If they do not, ask your attorney to file a writ of habeas corpus with your state court, which demands your release.[5]
Step #2: Can I be released?
if charges are dropped OR you are granted and post bail OR if you win your criminal case, you must be released.[6]
- UNLESS a detainer has been placed on you. If a detainer has been placed on you, you can be held for another 48 hours.[7]
Step #3: What if I am not released?
if you are not released, you will be moved to a civil immigration detention center, local jail, or a military base while your immigration case is open.[8]
- you will be interviewed and assigned a deportation officer.[9]
Step #4: But how can I get out of jail?
- Ask for a bond[10]
o Bond is a payment you make to the government that ensures that you will attend all future hearings. Sometimes, in special circumstances, you can be released on your own recognizance (which means that you do not need to post any bond).[11]
- You will then have a bond hearing and an immigration hearing.[12]
- You can NOT get bond if you are subject to mandatory detention:[13]
o Mandatory detention is reserved for an immigrant who has been convicted of certain crimes (serious crimes involving firearms, drugs, or "crimes involving moral turpitude" such as theft and fraud), or aggravated felonies.[14]
o Whether or not you are subject to mandatory detention is a complex question – - you should consult with an immigration expert to determine whether mandatory detention applies to your case.[15]
o You are entitled to an individualized hearing in front of an Immigration Judge (under 8 U.S.C. 1226(c)). This is often called a "Joseph hearing". [16]
§ To win at this hearing, an individual must prove:[17]
· (1) they are a US citizen OR that
· (2) they were not convicted of the crime that the government claims they were as to be subject to mandatory detention;
OR that
· (3) the crime was not a crime involving moral turpitude or was not an aggravated felony; OR
· (4) that the only two crimes involving moral turpitude arose out of a single scheme.
o If you are not subject to mandatory detention, you are eligible for bond![18]
§ The government sets a bond amount.
§ If you cannot afford the bond, you have the right to request in writing from the immigration court for a bond re-determination hearing.[19]
§ Bond Hearing:
· When setting a bond amount, the judge looks at:[20]
o 1) Are you a flight risk? Will you come to future court dates if you are released?
o 2) Are you a danger to the community?
· To have a favorable outcome, present as much evidence as you can to show that you are not a flight risk and are not a danger to the community. You can do this by:[21]
o Having relatives come to your court dates
o Have letters of support from those who can not come to your court dates
o Present a lease or mortgage
o Present letters from employers or pay stubs
o Present marriage certificates or children's birth certificates
o Present records of your attendance in rehabilitation programs
o Present information, if applicable, that you have attended all past court dates
o Present educational and tax records
§ Bond Amount:
· The minimum bond allowed is $1,500; however, the judge may also release you on your own recognizance (release you without bond). [22]
· You may pay the bond in cash or through a bail bondsman, who will pay your bond but charge you a non-refundable fee and a percentage of your bond amount.[23]
§ Bond Appeal:
· If you disagree with the amount of bond set, you can file a bond appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals. You must complete and file the Notice of Appeal within 30 days of the judge's decision.[24]
· The government may also appeal the amount of bond set if it believes that the bond is set too low.[25]
Step #5: Notice to Appear
- A Notice to Appear (NTA) gives an individual the basis for why they should be removed from the U.S. This must be given to you within 72 hours of your detention.[26]
- The NTA has two sections: (1) the Allegations, which gives your name, the country you are from, the date and manner you entered the U.S., and the factual basis of the allegations; and (2) the Charges, which provides the sections of the law which permit your removal from the U.S.[27]
Step #6: Pleadings
- The judge will now ask you whether the information in the NTA is true, whether you admit that you are removable from the U.S., and whether you plan on applying for any form of relief from the removal.[28]
- The Government's Burden: The govt must prove that you are an alien.
o If you want to fight the case against you, do not admit to the allegations.[29]
- If any of the facts in the NTA are not true, deny the factual basis and ask the government to prove the charges.[30]

Query — Is the detention process currently in use essential to fulfilling the DHS's mission of protecting the nation's security?
The following study by the non-partisan group TRAC Immigration suggests a flawed nature to the detainers' focus:
It's not my story to tell
but it must be told
must be heard
and if it was really heard, don't you know,
the entire empire would crumble,
brought to its knees
your life would turn itself
inside out.
it's not my story to tell
but i find i'm standing in the story, holding it with bare hands
in these Levi
with this
Colombian Valentine rose
Power, Profit –
the Mexican government housing bows in honor of these gods,
the finger no longer
on the hand,
lost in a maquila "accident,"
a sacrifice to these gods,
no not our gods,
but the gods of the
the race to the bottom;
the union busting that
will ensure the lowest wage
most exploitative jobs,
the gods of pesticides
that will grow
the most beautifully flawless
roses, and destroy the life of an entire community–
the Father of these gods was, is, and forever will be
I could say things like
"maquiladora," "workers rights,"
"NAFTA," "globalization,"
but would any of that penetrate?
would it say the most important thing of all to say?
there is blood in my jeans.
the destruction of
is woven into the fabric
of our over-consumption,
of our cheap tricks.
it's not my story to tell
but the story becomes muddled,
becomes my story because i am eating it
buying it
giving it as a symbol of love
on Valentine's day.
It's not theoretical, don't you see–
here I am handing it to you
the petals stained red by the blood
of a poisoned worker
and perhaps the other most important thing
is to lay down our ideas of what's wrong and how to fix it,
our brains, pens,
our border wall,
and sit down to tacos
there is so much laughter
to be shared
and so many tears to cry

Juanita passed away in her home in Piedras Negras surrounded by loved ones, including her companion Federico "Lico" Marin, and friends on April 6, 2013. She had been struggling with complications from diabetes.
Juanita was born in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. From a young age and as a maquiladora worker she fought for workers' rights to human dignity and justice. She became active in the CFO as a neighborhood activist as well as on its Board of Directors. One of her significant contributions to the work of the CFO was helping to found the project on fair trade called Maquiladora Dignidad y Justicia.
Some of Juanita's spirit as a feminist advocate for working women is seen in the segments of the YouTube video World Class People (by M Bosquez) where she described an experience of sexual harassment and how she spoke up for her right to respect, a response that ultimately cost her her job. VIEW HERE
Simple of heart, kind, intelligent, compassionate and brilliant in her role as an educator of workers' rights under the federal law is how many will remember Juanita and grieve this tragic loss to the community of activist maquiladora workers at the border.

A song by American rapper Eminem featuring Rihanna, released as the second single from his seventh studio album, Recovery.< read all 1 reviews
I am not a fan of rap music at all. But this song gripped me from the start.
After watching the Video I think we are looking at the next Grammy Awards Winner.
Rihanna adds great strength to the video, it is about domestic violence and uncontrolled feelings. Eminem has a troubled background but so too has Rihanna and together they add strength to the subject matter.
At the same time the porduction value of the video is great, it is nothing short of a short story. Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan both have a strong presence on screen and convey the troubles of a torn relationship very well, I daresay it is among their best performance ever.
As for the lyrics, it could be argued that rap at is best is the strongest form of modern poetry. More so since it doesn't carry the song - that is Rihanna's line as is normal with rap music.
The sum of the whole is near perfect and I suspect that we are looking at the next Grammy Awards best Music Video Winner.

There are plenty of great performances from the concert, but this one by Elton John is one of the most memorable. Watch his performance of "Daniel," "I'm Still Standing" and "Candle in the Wind" (which he dedicated to Ryan White, who died the following day) below:
