Injustice on Our Plates: Immigrant Women in the U.S. Food Industry
SPLC researchers interviewed approximately 150 women who are either currently undocumented or have spent time in the U.S. as undocumented immigrants. The women all have worked in the U.S. food industry in Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, New York or North Carolina. A few have now obtained legal status. The interviews took place from January through March of 2010. Researchers also interviewed a number of advocates who work with immigrant women and farmworkers.
The interviews were conducted almost exclusively in Spanish, and recordings were transcribed and translated into English. The women were first asked questions from a standard survey and then, based on their answers, asked by a researcher to elaborate on their experiences.
In most cases, the women quoted in this report are identified by their first name only, to protect their identities. In other cases, in which the subject did not want to be identified in any way, a fictional first name is used. Those names appear with an asterisk.

Facts About Immigrant Women Working in the U.S. Food Industry
Undocumented women are among the most vulnerable workers in our society today. They fill the lowest paying jobs in our economy and provided the backbreaking labor that helps bring food to our tables. Yet they are routinely cheated out of wages and subjected to an array of other abuses in the workplace. They are generally powerless to enforce their rights or protect themselves. The following are facts from the SPLC report Injustice on Our Plates.
Undocumented Immigrants
- There are an estimated 4.1 million undocumented women in the U.S. today. In addition, 4 million U.S.-born children — citizens by birthright — live in a household with at least one undocumented parent.1
- Undocumented women typically earn minimum wage or less, get no sick or vacation days, and receive no health insurance.
- Legalizing undocumented workers would raise the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.5 trillion over a decade. On the other hand, if the government were to deport all 10.8 million undocumented immigrants living on U.S. soil, our economy would decline by $2.6 trillion over a decade, not including the massive cost of such an endeavor.2
- Each year, undocumented immigrants contribute as much as $1.5 billion to the Medicare system and $7 billion to the Social Security system, even though they will never be able to collect benefits upon retirement.3
- There are an estimated 3 million migrant and seasonal farmworkers employed in the United States.4 The federal government estimates that 60 percent of farmworkers are undocumented immigrants; farmworker advocates say the percentage is far higher.
- The National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) published by the Department of Labor reports that about 22% of the farmworker population is female. Thus, there are an estimated 630,000 women engaged in farm work in the United States.5
- The average personal income of female crop workers is $11,250, compared to $16,250 for male crop workers.6
- A mere 8 percent of farmworkers report being covered by employer-provided health insurance, a rate that dropped to 5 percent for farmworkers who are employed seasonally and not year-round.7
- According to the U.S. Department of Labor, farmworkers suffer from higher rates of toxic chemical injuries and skin disorders than any other workers in the country.8 The children of migrant farmworkers, also, have higher rates of pesticide exposure than the general public.9
- Each year, there are an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 cases of physician-diagnosed pesticide poisoning among U.S. farmworkers, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.10
- Farmworkers are not covered by workers' compensation laws in many states. They are not entitled to overtime pay under federal law. On smaller farms and in short harvest seasons, they are not entitled to the federal minimum wage.11 They are excluded from many state health and safety laws.12
- Because of special exemptions for agriculture, children as young as 10 may work in the fields. Also, many states exempt farmworker children from compulsory education laws.
Poultry Workers
- Almost a quarter of the workers who butcher and process meat, poultry and fish are undocumented.13
- At least half of the 250,00014 laborers in 174 of the major U.S. chicken factories are Latino and more than half are women.15
- Working in a chicken factory is one of the most dangerous occupations in America. Line workers endure a frigid and wet work environment, without adequate bathroom breaks, while being exposed to numerous hazards handling chicken on hangers that whiz by a rate of hundreds per minute. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has not enacted any regulation to limit the speed at which poultry and meat processing lines operate — despite the appallingly high rates of injury directly attributable to the line speed. In the decade ending in 2008, 100 poultry workers died in the U.S., and 300,000 were injured, many suffering the loss of a limb or debilitating repetitive motion injuries.16
- The U.S. Department of Labor surveyed 51 poultry processing plants and found 100% had violated labor laws by not paying employees for all hours worked. Also, one-third took impermissible deductions from workers' pay.17
Sexual Abuse On the Job
- In a recent study of 150 women of Mexican descent working in the fields in California's Central Valley, 80% said they had experienced sexual harassment.18 That compares to roughly half of all women in the U.S. workforce who say they have experienced at least one incident.
- While investigating the sexual harassment of California farmworker women in the mid-1990s, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that "hundreds, if not thousands, of women had to have sex with supervisors to get or keep jobs and/or put up with a constant barrage of grabbing and touching and propositions for sex by supervisors."19
- A 1989 article in Florida indicates that sexual harassment against farmworker women was so pervasive that women referred to the fields as the "green motel."20 Similarly, the EEOC reports that women in California refer to the fields as "fil de calzon," or the fields of panties, because sexual harassment is so widespread.21
- Due to the many obstacles that confront farmworker women — including fear, shame, lack of information about their rights, lack of available resources to help them, poverty, cultural and/or social pressures, language access and, for some, their status as undocumented immigrants — few farmworker women ever come forward to seek justice for the sexual harassment and assault that they have suffered.22
- In interviews for this report, virtually all women reported that sexual violence in the workplace is a serious problem.

The term "self-deportation" has found its way into the GOP presidential primary race, with candidate Mitt Romney outlining a vague immigration platform which includes "self-deportation," or the idea that unauthorized immigrants will voluntarily choose to leave the U.S. if life here is made unbearable enough. While "self-deportation" may be a new idea to some, those who monitor immigration policy understand that it is code for "attrition through enforcement" - a plan pursued by extremist immigration-control organizations in Congress and state houses across the nation.
One of the nation's highest honors today was presented to pioneering entrepreneur and publisher John H. Johnson who was commemorated on this year's Black Heritage Forever Stamp by the United States Postal Service.
Johnson, the founder of Johnson Publishing Company of Chicago, which publishes Ebony and Jet magazines, is the 35th honoree in the Black Heritage stamp series. The Postal Service has recognized the achievements of prominent African Americans through the Black Heritage series since 1978. Past honorees have included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall, and Barbara Jordan.
"Of course, it's not enough for us to increase student aid… States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down." - President Barack Obama - State of the Union, January 24, 2012
In his State of the Union address, President Obama laid out a blueprint for an economy that's built to last – an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values. As an important part of keeping the American promise alive, the President called for a comprehensive approach to tackling rising college costs. In today's global economy, a college education is no longer just a privilege for some, but rather a prerequisite for all. To reach a national goal of leading the world with the highest share of college graduates by 2020, we must make college more affordable.

Guardian Exploration Inc. ("Guardian") (TSX VENTURE:GX) is pleased to announce a successful re-entry of its Kotcho Lake, B.C. well at B-100-E/94-P-3. The existing wellbore was capable of producing 350 mcf per day with increasing volumes of water. A re-entry and whipstock of the well encountered the Slave Point Reef 13m structurally higher than the original well and tested at rates up to 42 e3m3/day (1.5 MMcf/d) water free.
Guardian holds a 15% royalty interest before payout, convertible to a 50% working interest after or upon payout.
Guardian's joint venture partner is a private U.S. oil and gas company, who assumed the entire cost of this operation resulting in a 100% participating interest share of the well.
It is anticipated that this well will be on stream imminently pending production facility upgrades at area facilities.
Guardian also maintains full ownership of a 100,000 acre parcel in Montana, which has current production from the Cutbank Tesoro Oil Unit.
Guardian Exploration Inc. is an Alberta-based oil and natural gas company. Guardian is engaged in the exploration for, and the acquisition, development and production of natural gas and crude oil with emphasis on the shallow to mid-depth hydrocarbon prone zones of the western Canadian sedimentary basin in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia.
The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions herein are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
Certain statements contained in this document are "forward-looking statements". The projections, estimates and beliefs contained in such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements. Guardian believes the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable; however Guardian cannot provide any assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.

• Bradbury United Methodist Church, Kingston, will have a special veterans celebration during the 11 a.m. service. Veterans will be honored; Col. Mike Charles will be the guest speaker. Special music is planned. A lunch will be served after the program. The church is at 3506 Buttermilk Road West. Call the church office at 376-2990 for details.
The city of Harriman will have a 2011 Memorial Day parade on May 28.
The event will honor all military veterans who have served to protect U.S. It will extend the gratitude to all emergency service workers who have paid the ultimate price while protecting United States citizens.
The parade will begin near Harriman High School on Roane Street, and extend to Harriman Riverfront Park along the banks of the Emory River.
In case of rain, the parade will be postponed until May 29.
A Roane County man died after his car crashed on Tuesday.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Timothy A. Bailes was traveling on Hwy. 61 in a 1994 Saturn.
Bailes, 59, of Harriman, veered off the roadway and struck a tree in the afternoon wreck, the fatality report said.
Tuesday's accident, which was near Mount Pisgah Baptist Church, was the first traffic fatality to occur in Roane County this year.
The TVA Outreach Center on Kentucky Street in Kingston will close next month.
TVA opened the center in January 2009 to give residents a place to report concerns about the fly ash catastrophe at the Kingston Fossil Plant.
"The outreach center staff has served more than 1,700 families and has received hundreds of inquiries," TVA said in an e-mail to the Roane County Community Advisory Group.
However, from October 2010 through Monday, TVA said, 17 calls or visits were made to the center. Six of those were unrelated to the disaster cleanup.
With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd take my column in a different direction this week.
Thanks for sharing, Donna.
Dirt, grit, sweat, heat — and showers in short supply. That was the recipe for lasting romance for one Roane County couple.
It was August 1978 and still in the early days of Roane State Community College and its annual Southwestern field trip.
The old Rogers Southeastern Lubricants building on Gallaher Road in Kingston caught fire Wednesday night. Flames could be seen from Interstate 40. Kingston Fire Department Chief Willie Gordon said the cause of the fire was still unknown Thursday morning.
"The renter had stated that they had some electrical problems that they reported to the owner of the building," he said.
The blaze was reported to E-911 dispatch around 8:20 p.m. Multiple crews responded.
Unusually cold weather continues to swell customers heating bills this winter.
While it seems February is turning milder, people are just getting the heating costs for January, which continued the December trend of biting cold winds and below-average lows.
"Generally, we saw many bills that came out in January for December usage double the amount for the same period last year or for the month preceding. That was to be expected based on the unusually cold weather in December," said Harriman Utility Board manager Chuck Flora.
Rockwood officials are considering whether to amend the city's take-home police vehicle policy for some out-of-county officers.
After much debate, a committee was formed to bring back a recommendation.
"The city has a policy that allows employees in an emergency position to drive their vehicles home if they live inside the 5th Civil District," Mayor James Watts said at a recent meeting.
The change is being considered because of a K-9 officer living in Morgan County.
The Rockwood Tigers picked up a big District 3-A victory Tuesday night as Paul Kamikawa's squad travelled to Greenback and knocked off the Cherokees, 56-47.
The news wasn't as good for the Lady Tigers, however, as Greenback picked up a 44-43 victory.
Tuesday's results also leave the District 3-A standings in a bit of a mess.
The Lady Tigers are currently second in the standings with one game left on their schedule. A victory over Midway Friday would secure the Lady Tigers at least a second place tie for Rockwood in the final district standings.

<img src="/sites/imore.com/files/images/stories/2009/06/antenna_pointingtoward_pokhara.jpg" alt="antenna_pointingtoward_pokhara" title="antenna_pointingtoward_pokhara" width="300" height="318" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9565" /
Boy Genius is reporting that AT&T MMS seems to be down for some users in some states, and what's more:
a quick call to AT&T's customer care line revealed that there is a known latency issue with MMS in all states with no estimated time of repair.
So how about it? Are you experiencing any delays in sending or receiving MMS? Any outages? Either way, let us know where you are, and how long you've been having the problem.

AT&T MMS Network Outage Already?
@fastlane….shut your hole!!!
I updated to the new carrier file this morning and I have not yet been able to successfully send or receive MMS...I am in South Jersey.
@JSuch - oh well, life goes on.
It's all good in Phoenix,AZ!!!
How ironic. I'm in southern New Hampshire. I got a text message this afternoon from AT&T that MMS is now available for iPhone users (it's actually been activated for about 4 days for me already).
My son who has Verizon sent me an MMS. I didn't get it (at least not yet- who knows what the delay is). I sent him one and he got it immediately.
Nothing yet, get the red exclamation when sending, received 2 with the old "click here and use log-in and password" to see your MMS. Then I received one that just had the file name. All of these from iPhones. When i tried to send one from my wife's LG, it took forever to send and I never saw it.
Wichita, KS
I have sent to Verizon and received from Verizon customers, no problems at all in Bowie, Maryland.
iPhone to iPhone seems okay (takes up to 10 or 15min+ sometimes) though my g/f hasn't received a pic from me yet (she's using a Razr). Another friend who's on AT&T with a basic Nokia flip never received anything either.
My sister has an iPhone as well and she never received one of my MMS messages last night.
Overall, I would say it's terrible right now... I'll give it time. I'm located about an hour north of Philly.
Working in Philadelphia area.
Northeastern PA. is looking good now.
Tested to Verizon, AT&T non-iPhones and Sprint. Sent video, text and video, voice memos and pictures. All sent and received without significant delay. (under 5 minutes.)
I do have an issue with receiving GIFs...the sound comes as a separate attachment. Is this normal?
in central Florida and can send to anyone fine, but have yet to receive from another carrier..
slow in Kansas City. We duct tape our towers together here in the midwest. :)
-- Patrickhttp://zooboingreview.blogspot.com/
Has never worked yet. Oregon
@ Matt
Everything working fine in Lafayette, LA. Sent one about two hours ago to another iphone. both worked fine.
@JSuch Don't feed the troll. :)
Nothing happening in northern Mass..can't or recieve...AT&T needs to step up!!!! C'Mon Son!!!
Seems to be working fine in clearwater, fl
On Long Island. Have been able to send without a problem. What was interesting is that I have only been able to receive MMS from Verizon users who have a Curve. My sister has the Tour and has been trying to send me pics since yesterday without any luck. Waiting on a MMS message from my sister in law who has an Omnia.
Running smooth in South Texas. No problems at all.
Works perfect in Miami, FL.
Only delay was AT&T notifying me via text about 20 mins ago that MMS was now available for iPhone. Umm... Can you say "a day late" AT&T???
@fastlane Shut your piehole! Sending and receiving mms fine Mission,Tx!
Network speeds fine!
I have a jb iphone, did the early release of carrier 5.0 and everything works fine, does anyone know if i should get the carrier update 5.5? Is there any difference?
Northeast Ohio here, and MMS is working fine! Been working since wednesday of this week! w00t!!!
AT&T sucks so bad, I think I'm going to cancel tomorrow. What do you think, you had 2 and half years to get this ready. And they still can't get it to work,, not working here, in long island new York
had no problems in NY since its been released sends and recieves fast for me
Working great for me in Tampa Bay area of Florida. Takes approximately eight seconds to send a photo. Receives quickly. Got a text from AT&T at noon today explaining the new service and how to update my iPhone LOL. Had it up and running Friday afternoon..
in Northern California we are having no luck. We wait how many months and pay overpriced rates and what do they do? The Fuc! it up way to go ATT. Come on, you think they would get it rite the first time. On top of it they want to charge us even more to tether. Let me bend over for you AT&T.
Well if AT&T was like Apple they might give people affected by the delays some sort of compensation. Wait it's AT&T, they are just out to take your money.
Worked great at RDU airport in North Carolina. Also working well here in Los Angeles.
I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but I just want to say I don't think AT&T is as bad as people make it out to be. I've honestly never had a problem with AT&T, and I've been all over the country with them since they were Cingular.
Seems like the majority say no problem i think boy genius is just trying to run up his post count
I've been crying for it. I don't really need it. One more thing. F^^^^k fastlane.
Instead of throwing obscenities at you, I'm just going to point out the irony of the excerpt of the post that you quoted earlier.
They asked if people were having problems, which leads to a yes/no response. They didn't say that only people with MMS problems should post, only you did. Further, they said to let them know "either way." So you're wrong on all counts.
In Cincinnati, OH. MMS works about 50% of the time.
Of course it doesn't work in Michigan, or at least in my area of michigan! No MMS, no 3g. If the iPhone wasn't so awesome I would dump att yesterday!
Works fine n northern jersey :D
Fifteen minutes outside Philly in South Jersey and it's never worked. All I get is red ! repeatedly. I called AT&T and they fooled around for 40 minutes before telling me it was a network outage and was going to take a few days. I will continue to investigate as my brother and SIL live ten minutes away and their MMS works fine. This random outage thing is ridiculous.
For everyone experiencing red ! When trying to send mms. Try resetting your network settings. Go into settings>general>network>reset network settings. I did that and it's worked for me since.
when i first tried it on friday it took 6 or 7 tries to get the first pic to send. since then, no problems. receiving mms was never a problem. got one from a friends t-mo blackberry within seconds of it being sent.
MMS is good in Bham Alabama. Visual voicemail notification not working though.
iPhone to iPhone works good but when sending to BB on tmobile sprint and even AT&T it does not work. @Fastlane SHUT YOU HOLE
I can't even get mms here in Michigan because they didn't release it here until the 26th so I have to wait till tommarow to get it as I have no pc right now. I tried to get it on the 25th and AT&T tolde it was a problem with my phone but then I got a text Saturday telling me that it was just now avalible
I finally got it to work! I called AT&T twice to get it resolved. For those who still are having problems, call AT&T, ask for Tech Support and have them look at your provider and network settings. The woman who helped me made some adjustments, had me reset ny iPhone network settings and now it's working beautifully.
Ok so just spoke to At&t about not being able to send or recieve mms from phones other than the iphone and they said and i quote
"Sir at the moment we are aware of this issue and we are working towards a resolution. We do not have an exact date as to when it will be resolved but when it is you will recieve a text message"
I guess they figured that if they allow us to be able to send from iphone to iphone it will buy them some time to get their s**t together.
I have been able to send & receive MMS between our iPhones and with my work Verizon BB Storm. Someimes a delay but they have all gone through fine.
@fastlane That mms of your genitals was too small so they probably sent it back to Uranus!
No MMS over 3G network here. I discovered by accident that my MMS does work over Edge network, but not on 3G network. I was out in the boonies yesterday and just for grins, I tried to send an MMS to my daughter who has AT&T Iphone and only lives 5 miles away. While in the boonies, I noticed that Edge was my only connection and to my surprise, the message went through and she got it on the 3G network in my local area. To verify this, as I got closer to home, and I started getting 3G service, I tried to send again, and no luck. So I forced Edge service by turning 3G off in the settings and I was again able to send. I've been to the Apple store and showed them the problem and of course, the "Genius" I was assigned never owned an Iphone and could only offer to replace my phone at $200 since I'm out of warranty or continue to deal with AT&T's Tech Support . I;ve searched the net for anyone complaining of a similar problem, but have been unsuccessful, so I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem. My last resort is to call AT&T again from another phone so they can try to trouble shoot while I'm on the phone. This has been a slight issue since I don't have a land line at home and to timing between when my wife and I are home at the same time. AT&T has been documenting my issue but they really need for me to call from another line. All hardware issues fall on Apple and since I didn't shell out $70 for Apple Care, it may cost me more to get MMS, something I'm not so sure is worth it since I've gotten along just fine without it for over a year. Anyone still having MMS issues, try to send over edge only by forcing 3G off in the settings. I'd be curious to know if others have this issue. Did I mention that I restored to "New Iphone" and updated to 3.1 and IPCC 5.5 and without any other apps installed, MMS Still didn't work over 3G network? 3G in my area has been great for data and voice so I know this isn't the problem and I suspect hardware.
I can send and recieve with other iPhones fine, however, if anyone with a different kind of phone or carrier tries to send I don't get anything. I live in northeastern pennsylvania. This has actually caused me grief now one of those cell phone moments were it is something important and you don't respond so your an ahole. I hate AT&T sometimes.
Live in Oahu Hawaii. Haven't got a single pic from anyone. Have yet to try the other iPhone friends though. Still BS.
Can send but can't receive from any carrier other than at&t
I receive a red exclamation on my iPhone when sending MMS. It worked briefly a couple days ago, but consistently fails now with the red exclamation. I live in Claremont, CA.
When MMS became available for AT&T it worked perfectly. Now like 2 or 3 weeks later I can no longer recieve MMS messages especially from Verizon customers. This is BS! I live in Chicago. THey better fix this crap!
Its been crazy delayed in Seattle, up to 15 hour delays. sux during phone sex.
Dammit! MMS went out last night on Halloween. I'm in suburb of Chicago. Hope they resolve soon... I'm an MMS addict now :)
Well, I think mines been acting pretty shitty for a while now, especially noticeable when sending to my friend that has Verizon, I was sent a pic from them yesterday at 3pm and I did not receive it until 8am today.. That is ridiculous.. I have had problems with them not getting mine at all or in a reasonable amount of time as well but not as bad as it has been for me to receive one.. We waited forever to get MMS cause of this network updating and now its shit..
I live in St Pete, FL and spend a lot of time in Wisconsin...but no matter where I am, I cannot send or receive mms msgs to Verizon Wireless phones!!! Works fine with T-mobile. Most my friends and all my family have Verizon and this issue is really annoying me!!!!
Any news on how to resolve this issue?
Yeah I had it for about a month. I left on vacation for a week and when I Came back i couldn't send one. I don't live in a 3g zone does that have anything to do with it? I live in northern kentucky. there are multiple cities in my area with 3g tho. It it hopeless until my city gets 3g?
no service in Lake Placid, NY all day!
I am in Michigan. i just started having issues sending mms videos and receiving mms videos from verizon people. This has happened ever since I was in Chicago and cant fix it. When I get a video it says one or more of message componets have been deleted by mm adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal. I have tried everything to fix this. Has this happened to anyone before and do u know how to fix it? It is just with mms videos!Thanks,Kim
I'm in St, Louis and i just got my iPhone for xmas and i just downloaded the new software for the iPhone and downloaded the MMS update and i still cant send a MMS it says message failure and then you try again and it still says message failure. I have tried everything that everyone says to do like restoring your phone and everything like that but it still doesent work. im thinking the network is down and they are fixing it

Prop 8 Protest Held In San Jose
Publication Date:May 27, 2009
Source:ABC 7 News
Author:Lisa Amin
Professor Jane Schacter is interviewed for an ABC 7 News segment about the California Supreme Court ruling affirming the constitutionality of Proposition 8:
"I would predict in some number of years Prop 8 is going to get reversed," said Stanford law Professor Jane Schacter. Professor Schacter is the author of Sexual Orientation and the Law. She says the best way to reverse Prop 8 now is through a state ballot measure.
"The other way for it to change, and I wouldn't look for this any time soon, would be if the U.S. Supreme Court ever decides as a matter of federal constitutional law that every state must respect same-sex marriage, There's no sign that's going to happen anytime soon," said Schacter.

Her story is so amazing that, later, when she met with Mr. Troper (a well-known writer and author on Jewish history) in her home, he listened to her story and felt that he had just wasted his time with a nice lady who was obviously out of her mind.

David Vitter may not have made as much of a splash in terms of publicity as Ted Cruz, but in his own way he has been as much of a thorn in the side of President Obama and Senate Democrats as any other conservative Republican. Vitter is best known to many in the country for his role in a prostitution scandal that he survived thanks to the loose morals that have always prevailed in Louisiana politics. But in recent months his crusade against allowing members of Congress to be exempt from ObamaCare has endeared him to the GOP core and driven Democrats straight up the wall. Vitter has so far been largely frustrated in his efforts, but he is undeterred and is still seeking a vote on an amendment seeking to expose whether members are putting their staffs on the ObamaCare exchanges. But Vitter's insistence on getting that vote and his willingness to use his power to withhold consent on another unrelated bill may be doing a huge favor for the president.
As Politico reports, unless Vitter gives in on these two points, the delays caused by his holds will mean that the Defense Authorization bill won't be voted on until sometime in December. That helps the administration since a delay on that vote would mean there will be no toughened sanctions on Iran passed until after the next meeting of the P5+1 group where Secretary of State John Kerry will try again to strike a deal with Tehran that will loosen the restrictions on doing business with the Islamist state. As such, the embattled Kerry is hoping Vitter will hang tough and give him the room he needs—and which many senators would rightly wish to deny him—to pursue engagement with the ayatollahs.
Momentum is building for more sanctions as Democrats like Pennsylvania's Bob Casey are joining with Republicans on the Banking Committee to push for more sanctions. Yet Vitter's holds, though he has stuck to them for a good cause, will ensure that Kerry gets the delay on more action against Iran that he has been calling for. Kerry alienated senators with remarks in which he vented his spleen against Israel and urged them to ignore Israeli concerns and intelligence about how his deal would do nothing to stop Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon. With bipartisan disgust about the administration's rush to engage again with Iran, it's growing increasingly likely that any vote on sanctions would be positive. But if Vitter does not relent, the Iranians will be spared further inconvenience until after they get an all-too-eager Kerry back at the negotiating table.
Vitter, who is as stalwart a supporter of Israel as he is a foe of ObamaCare, should get his vote on congressional hypocrisy. But either way he should do whatever he can to make sure Congress puts Kerry on notice that he is not free to pursue his policy of appeasement with impunity.

Distinguished Scholars 2012: Ashley Keadle, Science
GEORGE WEST - Ashley Keadle has never been shy about asking questions, especially when it comes to the world around her.
"I've always been the one to ask what's this? Or that? I've always asked a lot of questions," she said, laughing.
A standout in science class, she was one of a select few asked to attend a prestigious workshop that allowed her to hear lectures from scientists on topics such as stem cell research.
The workshop only further fueled her desire to learn more.
Because of her ability to excel inside the classroom, she was chosen as a winner of the 2012 Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished Scholars in the Science category.
Ashley is ranked second out of 86 in her graduating class at George West High School, where she maintains a 102.6 grade average. When she crosses the stage at graduation during the spring she will do so with 36 college credit hours accumulated.
Ashley plans to attend Texas A&M University, where she will major in biomedical science. She hopes to qualify for a special program that will allow her to take part in a dual admission program that will make it easier for her to attend medical school.
Teacher Glenda Locke, who nominated Ashley for this year's scholarship, describes her as a driven student and active participant who often asks the most thought-provoking questions.
Ashley often is a step ahead, Locke said.
Ashley doesn't shy away from assignments that might make others cringe. Last year she had the opportunity to dissect the eye of a cow and was fascinated at how the inside looked as though it was made of fiberglass.
"I know it's odd, but it was fun. It's interesting how the body works," she said. "I like figuring out where everything is and which animals are really similar to the human body."
Ashely's long-term goal is to become an obstetrician. She could see herself opening her own clinic in a smaller community such as Beeville, she said.
Whatever she does, she just wants to know that she is helping people.

Standing by Those Who Serve and Their Families
This week, the President announced his plan to responsibly draw down the number of troops in Afghanistan. After a long decade, the men and women of our armed forces – many of whom have served multiple tours of duty overseas – will soon begin to come home for good. They have worked hard, served bravely, and sacrificed much. I know because I was honored to serve alongside them. But we have not endured these challenges alone. Every time our troops are called to action, so too are their families. From day one of this conflict, America's military families have been steadfast in service and support for their loved ones and their country. We owe it to these families to be just as steadfast now in our service and support for them.
The war in Afghanistan is just beginning to wind down, but the challenges faced by our military families will remain. And whether these challenges are related to employment, education, wellness, or any of a range of other issues, this Administration and this country will stand by our military families and support them. This is not a commitment that can be met solely within the confines of the White House. It will require the efforts of all of us – from every community, every sector of industry, and every walk of life – working together to make sure that the service of these brave families is not forgotten, and they do not face obstacles alone. At JoiningForces.gov, you'll find lots of ways to get involved. You can find service opportunities in your area, send a message of support to military families, or tell us your own story of service.
Part of bringing our troops home responsibly is standing by those who serve. We must enlist those who have defended America abroad in the effort to build America at home – by giving our troops and their families the care, benefits, and opportunity that they deserve.
LTC Jason Dempsey is a White House fellow in the Office of the First Lady. He served in Afghanistan from 2009-2010, and will deploy again in 2012.

Ragbirds fly to Finn'sWritten by Vincent D. Scebbi | | firstname.lastname@example.com
From her teenage days of listening to Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and Sting, worldly instruments have been a major influence in Erin Zindle's music career.
"My love for world music started around then, as a teenager. I started writing songs around then and as I've grown over the years, these sounds I'm so emerged in and in love with have kind of found their own way into my songs and my writing in one way or another," she said.
Zindle is the frontwoman, fiddler, banjo and mandolin player of the Ann Arbor based Ragbirds, who are set to play its 8:30 p.m. gig at Mickey Finn's April 21.
The Ragbirds are defined by its website as a fusion of folk rock with some danceable beats along with Zindle's Celtic style fiddle playing.
"[The audience] can expect to see a diverse range of music but there is also a common thread throughout, which mostly has to do with my vocal and violin parts," Zindle said. "One may be a tango and the next is an African drum piece and the next is Latin. It keeps people interested and it's a lot of fun for us."
While studying her family's roots and culture, Zindle learned more about Celtic music, another influence. Aside from its typical song list, the Ragbirds bring styles such as Latin dance and African drum pieces. Each member plays a drum and Zindle said it helps establish communication between the band mates during the set.
"The music is polyrhythmic and you have a whole bunch of people listening to each other really well to make the piece make sense," she said. "It's a good thing to learn. I found out the players change over the years, but every time we get a new player we teach them the African drum pieces and it's just a good way to rehearse and tighten up as a band."
Aside from Zindle, the Ragbirds is comprised of guitarist T.J. Zindle, brother of the frontwoman, Brian Crist on bass, Loren Kranz on drumset and Erin Zindle's husband Randall Moore as a general percussionist.
The married couple met prior to the formation of the Ragbirds while traveling in similar musical circles. Moore was a guest performer in Zindle's former band. When that group split, the duo played in a few different bands together as well as street performing in Ann Arbor.
"As we were dating we would perform in the street for tips in downtown Ann Arbor and get enough money for cocktails later in the night," Moore said. "We definitely bonded over music."
The band name, coined by Zindle, comes from an unexplainable childhood fascination with birds.
The band is raising funds for its fourth studio album, with help through the Kickstarter program. Kickstarter is the world's largest fundraising project for artists ranging from literature to fine arts to performing musicians.
Moore said the artist sets a fundraising goal and fans, friends and family are able to make pledges to help fund the project.
"We used Kickstarter as a way to get our fans involved in the recording process and it also helped raise money to help us because we're an independent band and we're recording solely on our own is a very expensive process," he said. "Instead of going into debt over it, we decided to use Kickstarter."
The Ragbirds' goal of $10,000 was met recently and as of April 19, more than $13,000 has been raised, according to the band's website.
Moore said they were able to raise money quickly through an incentive program ranging from autographed albums to merchandise and the largest incentive being a private performance by the Ragbirds.
"We're really blessed by the amount of supporters," Moore said.

Software assists in response to fires
CORPUS CHRISTI - An influx of new technology at the Flour Bluff volunteer fire department is revolutionizing how the station's firefighters train and respond to fires, officials said.
About three weeks ago the Nueces County Emergency Services District No. 2, commonly known as the volunteer fire department, received a set of laptop computers for the station's vehicles that provide a direct link to dispatch, said Chief Dale Scott.
The computers, dubbed mobile data terminals, give firefighters a two-way link with dispatch without using a radio. They also allow the volunteers to access information about incoming calls, such as neighborhood maps, locations of fire hydrants and a real-time map of most fire, police and Nueces County Sheriff's Department units in the area.
"We've gotten pretty state of the art for a volunteer fire department," Scott said. "The (in-truck) terminals make us quicker all around."
Instead of requiring continual voice contact with a dispatcher, a firefighter can send with the push of a button messages such as a unit is responding to a call or has arrived onscene. The computers also give the fastest route to a fire and are able to show private property boundaries and label where on a block an address is.
In the station, firefighters already are benefiting from new computers that give them training flexibility, Scott said. The department received about a month ago three computers outfitted with training software that allows volunteer firefighters to study required classes.
The new training computers and software are a noticeable transition from the old way of training volunteers -- classroom instruction taught once a week, Scott said. Now firefighters learn at their own pace and can access the software throughout the week.
Introductory and basic firefighter certification, which used to take months or years, now can be completed in a fraction of the time depending on how often the volunteer trains.
"It was a lot harder to get anybody advanced," said Mike Richenberg, the volunteer department's deputy chief. "We found ourselves teaching (recruits) the same class over and over again because of an influx of new volunteers."
J.P. Hominick, a captain with the department, said the new technologies have been a blessing.
"It used to take minutes to leave the station when a call came in to find the place we're going on a map," Hominick said. "Now all we have to do is go out there."
Hominick, who also coordinates training, said he thinks the new training computers will bring in more volunteers because it's easier to get started learning the basics.
The Flour Bluff volunteer fire department has 23 volunteer and two paid firefighters, Scott said.
