8:00 pm
debate. >> are seeing the boston suspects should be treated as an enemy combatants. is that something you are looking at? >> he will not be treated as an enemy combatants. we will prosecute him through our civilian system. united states citizens cannot be tried in military commissions. it is important to remember that since 9/11 we had used the court system to convict hundreds of skirts, and has resulted in the detention of u.s. citizens and non-citizens for acts of terrorism committed around the world. this system has proven it can successfully handle a threat we face. there are a number of examples.
8:01 pm
the time square bomber, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. i abdulmutallab was sentenced to life in prison. has closeational who associations with al qaeda is not currently in this system. we have acquired by able intelligence from him to the process that is allowed in the system. so this is absolutely the right way to go and the appropriate way to go. and when it comes to united states citizens, it is against the law to try them in military commissions. >> does the president believe that there is a system in place to adequately target and deal with lone operators, those who may not be tied to some kind of larger extremist organization? >> you have heard the president and many others address the evolving threats that we have as a nation. as we have taken the fight to
8:02 pm
al qaeda and have met with significant progress in removing from the battlefield senior members of al qaeda central, we have seen other threats develop and emerge. and john brennan, the president, many others, the attorney general have spoken about those threats. i would not in any way characterize the suspects in this investigation in any way with regards to that question because that is something that is being determined by investigators and prosecutors. but there is no question that the threat remains. qaedaains from al central, even though it's been decimated. it remains from affiliates of al qaeda, as we've talked about -- aqap and the like. and it remains within the context of your question, self- radicalized actors, individual actors who pose a threat. inhave to remain vigilant the face of all those threats. and the president, of course,
8:03 pm
expects our various agencies within the national security apparatus to do just that. ani want to follow up on earlier question about whether or not the president feels like law enforcement, the fbi, adequately dealt with this issue back in 2011. during his briefings, has he been asking specific questions about what law enforcement knew and is he comfortable with the answers that he's getting? >> without getting into specifics of the meetings he has had, he has been thoroughly briefed and has asked a host of questions, as you would expect. and what i can tell you is that the fbi -- as the fbi itself has said -- thoroughly investigated the information that it had received in 2011. u.s.included checking government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with
8:04 pm
other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. and the fbi, as you know, interviewed tamerlan tsarnaev and family members and at the time did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign. as part of the overall investigation into these two individuals, into the bombings in boston and obviously the events later in watertown, there will be a whole picture i think put together to find out exactly what led to these bombings, the motivations that were behind them, any associations that may have existed if they did. process is part of the that's being undertaken now, now that these suspects -- one is obviously deceased and one is in custody -- there is a process underway to thoroughly investigate the whole matter. >> and as that picture is being painted and put together at this stage, is there any indication at all that, looking back on it now, there are some things that pointed to what
8:05 pm
happened? >> well, i would point you to the statement the fbi made and that i just repeated, which is, looking back on it now at this time, the fbi did thoroughly investigate this matter when it received information from a foreign government and went through the process that i just described. all of this obviously will be part of an investigation into an ongoing matter, and that is the investigation and prosecution of the suspect in custody. jon. >> jay, i've got two things. first, a quick follow on immigration. senator rand paul is saying at the very least that the process should be slowed down. we understand what happened in boston. and he wrote a letter saying, "why did the current system allow two individuals to immigrate to the united states from the chechen republic in russia, an area known as a hotbed of extremism, who then committed acts of terrorism? were there any safeguards? could this have been prevented?" my question: do you think rand paul has a point at
8:06 pm
all, that what happened in boston reflects something wrong with the current system of immigration that should cause us to slow down a little bit and figure it out? >> we believe that we need to move forward with comprehensive immigration reform for a whole host of reasons and the benefits that reform will provide to our country, to our economy, to our security. and we agree with those coauthors of the legislation in the senate who have made the point in recent days that enhancing our security is one of the reasons why we should press forward with comprehensive immigration reform. speculation about this particular matter is fine, but this is under investigation. the fact is that comprehensive immigration reform, as anybody who has looked into it and can attest, would enhance our security for all the reasons that i talked about at the top. >> okay. -- i'll ask about the faa graham says he
8:07 pm
disagrees with the
's decision not to prosecute the suspect as an enemy combat it. >> i understand we will have a moment of silence for the victims in boston. that is appropriate, and the president is right to lead that effort. quickly, to the families who have lost loved ones, to those breaks as a nation. to the people of boston, you make us proud by the courage you have shown. to the law enforcement officials and intelligence community, god bless you for your hard work and your bravery. iat brings me here today is have been informed that the
8:08 pm
has indicated this suspect in boston will not be treated as an enemy combatant. i strongly disagree with the
's decision to rule out the combatant status for the suspect at this time. i believe such a decision is premature. it is impossible for us to gather the evidence in just a few days to determine whether or not this individual should be held for questioning under the law of war. the decision by the
to try this individual in federal court is a sound decision. it is the right decision. aretary commission trials not available in cases like this. i wrote the 2009 military commission act. i have been a judge advocate for over 30 years, along with the help of many colleagues. we created a system for foreign terrorists.
8:09 pm
we purposely excluded american citizens. i have all the confidence in the world in article 3 courts at the federal level. they do a terrific job. i have confidence in our military commissions system. the decision by the
not to proceed in state court in massachusetts i think was the correct decision. the death penalty will be available at the federal level. this is clearly in my view a candidate for a case to be deemed an act of terrorism. here is my concern. as a lawyer for over 30 years, i strongly support the concept that no criminal defendant should ever be required to incriminate themselves why they are in custody. that is a long-held tradition in american jurisprudence, in a military and civilian setting. no criminal defendant should ever be required to incriminate themselves in a criminal case.
8:10 pm
every nation at war should have the ability to defend themselves by gathering intelligence. these are not mutually exclusive concepts. i believe our nation is at war. the enemy is radical islam, defined as taliban, al qaeda, and affiliated groups. thereestion i have, is any association between these two individuals and groups i just named to allow any combatant status? it is inappropriate ask questions of any defendant accused to elicit information to use against them in court. there is ample evidence here on the criminal side.
8:11 pm
a first-year law student could prosecute this case. what i am worried about is what does this individual know about future attacks or terrorist organizations that may be in our midst? we have the right to gather intelligence under the criminal system. we should not question someone without their lawyer present. along the law of armed conflicts, when you try to gather intelligence about future attacks, there's no requirement for a lawyer. it would disturb me greatly if this
is relying exclusively on the criminal justice system to gather intelligence. if we have to clear the questions that we're going to ask to gather intelligence, to the terror suspect's lawyer, it would greatly diminish our ability to control the process. the last thing i want to do is turn intelligence gathering over to the suspects and their lawyers. i hope the
will look long and hard at the evidence and keep on the table
8:12 pm
the ability to interrogate the suspect for the intelligence gathering purposes against attacks we may face. none of the evidence on the intel side can be used in a criminal court. we're not prosecuting a crime. we're trying to protect the nation. intelligence gathering is a national security endeavor. prosecuting someone in federal court is a criminal enterprise. over the coming days and weeks we will have discussions about how best to defend our nation. the best way we can defend america is to realize we are at war. we did not choose this war. we did not want this war. it has come to our shores twice. how can we defend ourselves against a vicious enemy who is recruiting american citizens to their cost in our own backyard? to fight the war within our values and our legal structure?
8:13 pm
we provide lawyers. al qaeda it does not. that makes us stronger, not weaker. we have the ability under the law of war to gather intelligence in a way to make sure that our country is safe from a future attacks. the ability to talk to individuals who may know about terrorist organizations plotting our future device is a long held concept. long-heldis a concept. i am asking this
to leave on the table the option if the evidence warrants to designate this individual as an enemy combatant. what do we know? we know these two individuals embraced radical islamic thought, that there is ample evidence this was an attack inspired by radical ideology. they were not trying to rob a bank in boston. they slaughtered innocent people because they view us, the united states, as a colonial
8:14 pm
power, a christian nation. at the muslim world can be friend. i have traveled out the world and have that many people throughout the world of the islamic faith in our great allies and great friends of america. unfortunately, there is a small minority who would kill every muslim, jewish, gentile, christian, person who disagrees with them. it is imperative we protect the homeland. the desire of this enemy is to strike us in our backyard. i do not wish america to be the battlefield, but it is. it is the choosing of our enemy to make our homeland the battlefield. all i ask is within our values and our legal system we retain the right to defend ourselves, withalues i embrace interrogation and under the law
8:15 pm
of order, not torture. i along with senator mccain spoke loudly during the bush years about interrogation techniques that i thought were out of bounds in terms of our law and who we are. but let me firmly say this. having been a military lawyer for 30 years, i know the difference between prosecuting crime and trying to prevent a future attack. the ability to have access to this suspect without a lawyer present to gather intelligence about a future attack is absolutely is central to our national security. if over time, the evidence suggests after a reasonable opportunity to make this decision this suspect is not fall into the statutory definition of an enemy combatants, i will accept that result. i think to rule that decision out now is premature and is
8:16 pm
unfair to those who are trying to protect us. i do not know how in the world we can make that decision by monday afternoon, given the recent nature of this attack. i will continue to work with the
to create laws allows us to create tools to defend ourselves against these enemies. on march 25, i wrote all our military lawyers, asking 15 questions. and if you can read those questions. i will not bore you. asked questions that applied to what happened today. i have seen this coming for a long time. i have taken the floor on multiple occasions of the united states senate to prepare our nation for the state. this day has finally arrived. the day when the evidence suggests that the teeth of the
8:17 pm
zero people, one an american citizen, the other in legal status, took up arms against our country. the evidence right now to me is ample and overwhelming to suggest that the attacks in boston were inspired by radical jihadists. i do not want to jeopardize any one bus ride to a fair trial. the defenders who will be assigned to this case should defend this young man. by doing so, they make us all safe. having said that, it is imperative that we have time with the suspect got to prove his guilt or innocence, there is absent -- ample evidence of that, but together intelligence as to what he may know about terrorist organizations that exist or others who may be planning to attack our country. i hope congress will look at
8:18 pm
this case and look at our laws and come to the conclusion that i have come to -- we are at war, we're going to be at war for a very long time coming and we have to have the tools to defend ourselves. one of those tools is the ability to question people about future attacks to gather intelligence for national security purposes without benefit of counsel. the information will never be used in a court of law against the suspect. it will be used to protect us. and the last thing in the world we should do in the times in which we live is to limit our ability to gather intelligence in the criminal justice system, because in essence you have in turn over the intelligence- gathering process to the queues and their lawyers. thank you very much. can still buy
8:19 pm
again. >> anyone who is on the terrorist watch list should not lose their second amendment right without the ability to challenge that determination. i think senator kennedy was on the terrorist watch list. there have been people, on the watch list. i do not want to make that the basis to take someone's second amendment rights of way, but what i would suggest is if you come up on the terrorist watch list you have the ability to say you are not a terrorist. that is the proper way. as to the enemy combat terrorism -- comtatant the government is required to prove that the person is an enemy combat it. no one is owithout due process. to governor -- government as
8:20 pm
prove this statutory elements of the crime charge. one system designed to bring justice, to bring justice to a cameral act, the other system is to protect us against future terrorist activity. they both in my view exist in harmony in our law. i would urge the
to use both systems. >> [indiscernible] i spoke 45 minutes last night with the associate director of the fbi. i think all of us are wondering if the russians told us about this guy being a radical islamist into does 11, how could we have missed it? according to the fbi, they said the report -- they took the report from the russians seriously. they interviewed the suspects themselves, the family members, and school officials. they put his name to the system and found no evidence of
8:21 pm
domestic violence. they sent a report to the russians and said, do you have any more? they never got a reply. he went to russia. how could we not know that? apparently, the misspelling of his name was such that he did not pop up in the system. did he intentionally misspelled tis name, or did the aerofloo just get it wrong? we do not know. let's assume the fbi made a diligent effort to make an investigation based on the russian information. ankly, they did. miss all we from 2012 the radical statements and activity this guy engaged in, the older brother, on the internet and youtube videos? the fbi which is telling me that some of the tools they need are not there. is this a question of the fbi
8:22 pm
not using the tools available to them or is this a question there are not enough tools and a toolbox? we need to learn that. i am worried about how misspelling affected that. >> [indiscernible] >> it is the second time. the underwear bomber was mirandize within 45 minutes. i do not care if you read them their rights. do not just shut down the intelligence test gathering -- intelligence-gathering process. the only way he cooperated was his family. he hadmes square bomber, pakistan-taliban ties. he was read his rights and never designated an enemy combatant. osama bin laden's son and law is in federal court -- the federal system today, was read his
8:23 pm
miranda rights. he has never been designated. can you imagine what a sum of bin laden's son in law can tell us about the terrorist organization put he was the spokesman after 9/11. there is a disturbing pattern of not gathering intelligence when that opportunity exists. they care very much. i have to go. we will go next door to answer any questions that you have about the act by and we are going to observe a moment of silence for the folks in boston. [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2013] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] >> stakeholders testified on capitol hill on the immigration bill. john mccain, chuck schumer, dick durbin, lindsey graham, robert
8:24 pm
menendez, marker rubio, jeff flake, and michael bennett are the architects of the legislation. >> about the problems with the program, and i am happy we will find a way with this improved program to make this work better. sometimes the alphabet soup of immigration programs and the endless rules can get confusing. can one of you explain what you see as the biggest problems which the program as is, and whether you think the bill addresses these problems? >> moore time is short so i will take off a few. the wage rates that are part of the program. will is strictly an at- program that provides no value for year-round workers is no use to the dairy industry at all, and i would say in administrative bureaucracy of
8:25 pm
the program, small with hoosiers do not have the ability to hire consultants to navigate their way through an application process. >> that is for sure. can someone explain why it is important to have the ag department oversee the guest worker program instead of the labor department? >> i will try that. a couple of different ways to answer that. there is a structure already in place for not only state-level usda offices, but there is a virtual usda presence in every county in america, every major agricultural county. these are officers that producers deal with bright -- quite often. there are people in this offices that are not only used to helping the producers, but help them navigate to the process. we believe producers will be quick to use that system that is
8:26 pm
well established out there today. >> i thought one of the most important parts was when you talk about the indirect benefits of the guest workers, the fact when they are here we have some kind of status that works, said they will buy things. sometimes they ship them back, whether motorcycles and washing machines, you name it. you mentioned the impact for rural areas. could you talk more about these indirect impacts you have seen in your communities? >> thank you. one of the best times i have is at the end of harvest we. a truck has its set route, and it is run by a travel service, and it is great because when i get a listing where it is going to go, the workers know before i do. motorcycles, weed
8:27 pm
whackers, walked -- washing machines, and it is shipped back because they tell us is cheaper for them to ship at home. paying $200somebody for a canoe and then paying $200 to send a ton. a lot of the money is spent locally as well. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. senator lee is next. please go ahead. >> thank you for joining us today. i have a couple of questions. i recognize the labor problems facing our agricultural industry are different from those in other industries and are important our nation's economy. the nature of agricultural work can deter the hardest-working americans. the long, sporadic hours,
8:28 pm
secluded work sites, nominal wages, and the back breaking physical labor contribute to a relative lack of interested and participation in these jobs by american-born workers. creating a sustainable guest worker bees that is the central for creating our farms and ranches that is why i introduced the dash act, to expand access to the h-2a for additional category of workers and employers. addressing problems for agricultural workers and lawyers must be any part of esa reform. i am glad that we are having this discussion this morning. i am wondering if i could start with the eastman. could you tell us a little bit -- sort of restate why you think the h-2a is insufficient, particularly as it relates to some of these industries like harry farming and sheep herding? >> i can't speak to sheep
8:29 pm
herding because i have not had direct access with sheep. as far as the dairy farming goes, it is impossible. we have two very farms who have have h- farms that do 2a, but they are there to repair things and to work inquiries that will be used as pasture. it is not related to milking cows, which is simply an everyday function, at these farms. in part, it is not available -- >> explain to us why it is not. >> because right now h-2a is limited to 10 months seasonal. if you are an employer -- that is limited to the employer. the employee can stay longer than that, but they have to transfer.
8:30 pm
so, one individual employer can only have h-2a workers on site for 10 months out of the year. >> what does not work for some of the areas? >> it is not based on a fiscal year -- you take apples, they come in, it is august, and they stay to pick, prune and packed -- they have to be gone by the end of may. >> in this bill, in your opinion, it addresses the problem? >> it fixes the problem because i think actually, mr. connor can speak to a better, the different types of -- >> mr. connor? >> it fixes the problem fundamentally by creating two different groups of the guestworker program. one would be the seasonal at will, which would be, i suppose, the most similar to the current h-2a program, but the other is a contract program where, again, you would have the ability to bring in year-round workers on a contract, as you noted, to
8:31 pm
perform those milking functions, feeding functions on the farm, those kind of things, as noted earlier, the cows don't stop producing milk. they produce 24/seven, every day of the year. >> that is the nice thing about cows, they are considerate in that regard. do you see this as a long-term fix, or something you have to tinker with every few years? >> no question, senator, we picture this as a long-term fix. this was fundamental to our coalition's efforts. we were not looking to come back and do this in a few years, because we know it is not going to happen. this has been a problem that has been developing really since the mid-1980s, and we believe that the combination of the loot card program for our trained existing workforce and the viable guestworker program both at will and contract administered by usda provides a long-term access to the workforce among the legal workforce that you are going to need to continue to produce the crops in the food for america.
8:32 pm
>> can you tell me how the caps were, on the number available? >> there is a cap on the visa workers. year one, set at 112,333. as you can note by some of the numbers, this was a product of a lot of negotiation and compromise by both sides in terms of setting the cap. another 112,000 would be year two and three the muscle by year three, the cap would be 337,000 workers. in no event cannot go above that years three and five, but then from year five onward, there would be no cap. the secretary of agriculture would be empowered then to set the cap based on the need of the number of guest workers in the country.
8:33 pm
>> that is why you see this as a long-term fix, because you are then allowing us to respond to changing economic circumstances through the department of agriculture question mark >> absolutely. agriculture? >> absolutely. >> i see my time has expired. thank you very much. >> senator franken? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i just want to take a moment to respond to those who say that immigration is such a complex problem that we can't address it with a comprehensive approach. i believe the complexity of this problem and the connectedness of the issues involved in immigration speaks to the need for a comprehensive -- for comprehensive reform. take, for example, border security. i know that border security is critical, and that is why i am very happy to see the strong provisions in this bill are in it.
8:34 pm
but if all you did was secured the border with a 10-foot wall, if there is still a market for undocumented labor, you would create this huge market for 11- foot ladders. so, you need to verify -- you need to be able to verify workers. mr. connor, mr. rodriguez, first of all i want to congratulate you on working with each other. mr. connor, one of the aspects on this bill is the delayed phase-in of the employment verification requirements. aquaculture employers are not required to participate in the e-verify -- agriculture employers are not required to participate in the e-verify program, five years after the passage of the bill.
8:35 pm
it will prove to be very important for farmers in minnesota. lots of our farmers run pretty small operations. it is going to take time for these programs to get up and running. can you, mr. connor, identify why this delayed implementation of e-verify it is important for agriculture? >> a great question, senator franken. i think the important aspects to the heart of the program. that is, we really are creating in many ways -- in some ways, almost three brand-new programs. the blue card program, and then you have the year-round contract part of the guestworker program, and then you have the at-will part of the guestworker program. we know there will be bumps and bruises along implementation. this ensures that for agricultural production, which
8:36 pm
is so important in terms of timeliness, seasonality, that there is going to be a maximum amount of time here before the ee verifies system is kicking and operational. so we can make sure that the three new apparatuses that are working, the caps are being sent in an adequate amount to provide the workers that we need. it gives time. remember, senator franken -- you know this, these are very businesses out there on our american farms and ranches, almost by any standard. more than anything else, we want to make sure these are small
8:37 pm
producers know the program, know what it takes to get the legal workforce here, before we get to enforcing this thing out on every single farm and ranch in america today. i think it is only fair. smallecially for these operations. we need to make sure that the e-verify program has an among the higher accuracy rate than it has now. i am worried that as we introduce millions of immigrants into the system, the error rates tend to get higher when you do that. and when you run a dairy operation and/or other small
8:38 pm
businesses, for that matter, that you don't have a huge hr department like you might at other businesses. and so, i think this is just a very important that we understand how this all fits together and we do it with our eyes wide open. for me, it is absolutely essential that we do it at one time because everything is so interrelated. i am very pleased what this is going to do for the dairy industry. half of all dairy cows in america are milked by immigrant labor. and i've called for this to be fixed for years and i am glad that senator feinstein and senator leahy made their efforts to do that.
8:39 pm
whatur mind, mr. connor, -- in addition to dairy -- and by the way, the chairman said cows are only going to milk you seasonably and they don't like it -- they do not know what they are saying. >> they do in vermont, maybe not minnesota. a i know the chairman is dead head, so no comment -- >> that will come back to haunt you.
8:40 pm
>> sorry, senator. >> at the senator finish his questions? >> i have no idea where it was. jeff, aside from dairy, what are the one or two most helpful aspects of this agreement? >> well, again, senator -- we have a problem in american agriculture today, reflected in the fact that so much of our work force is currently undocumented. for anything else that we have, recognize that the problem exist today. so, the status quo is intolerable. it is across all of the agricultural sector.
8:41 pm
the notion that you are going to give us the ability to actually have a legalized workforce that we know is legal, that we can verify that, farmers and ranchers are some of the most law-abiding people on this planet. they want to have access to those workers. they want them to be legal. and more than anything else, i think fundamentally this bill gives us that ability to be legal. it is huge. because the status quo, again, -- what are the alternatives? i challenge those to suggest that. the current system is broken. we've got to change it.
8:42 pm
>> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. >> i thank the chairman and i thank the witnesses. i just want to thank all of you and senator feinstein for working so hard to get an agreement here. we will work cap informed -- those of us working on the broader agreement, on the progress made and the hurdles you had to overcome, and it is not an easy task. congratulations for working together on this and getting this done. as i mentioned when we launched the broader bill last week, i grew up on a farm. working alongside migrant labor. i know the motivations that they have. i know how difficult it is. and i know that they were here to make a better life for themselves and their families, and for the life of me i have never been able to place all of those who come here across the border, undocumented, in sort of a criminal class. it has never rung true to me that way. and so, i want a solution here. farm work is tough work. i made it off the farm with almost all of my digits. it lost the end of one in an alfalfa field. but i can tell you -- i got them politics largely because of milking cows. you can't tell them, we are not going to milk you today. it does not work and i have tried. it does not work. but i appreciate what you have done here. mr. connor, i appreciate working with you when you were at the usda on other issues, and i appreciate the work you have done. let me just say, in your experience, i know you have been working on a solution for ag for years now. why is that so difficult and why is it important to have this as part of the broader bill and why is it easier as part of a
8:43 pm
comprehensive package or at least possible? i know you have been working on this. why has not -- hasn't it been possible to achieve on its on? >> senator, you are absolutely correct -- this is not a realization that has come about just in the last few months. we have known we've had a problem for a very, very long time. and we have worked with senator feinstein on solving just agricultural's problem for a very long time as well. i would just say that history suggests that that did not work, that the agricultural problem in and of itself probably was not going to produce successful legislation. so, being a part of this comprehensive effort -- again, our negotiations have been limited to just the agricultural piece, but we appreciate the fact that it is part of the broader package. there seems to be some momentum to get something done this year. because we have been talking and proposing solutions, and in some cases, even producing legislation or a very, very long time, because this has been a problem for a long time. we believe 2013 reflects what i
8:44 pm
have described to many as the best chance in a generation to stop talking about it and to finally fix it. >> can you just go on with that? if we failed to reach an agreement here and there is no agreement just with the subset of agriculture, what would the consequences be? how much of our industry do we stand to lose if we can't reach agreement here? >> well, the consequences are substantial, senator. some of those i put in my opening statement. but again, the status quo means
8:45 pm
that a large, large percentage of the american workforce -- doing nothing means a large percentage of the american workforce will continue to be undocumented workers. then, this is untenable to american producer out there, that somehow we cannot get him or her a legal workforce. we do have labor shortages in this country. and it is resulting in crops going unharvested. it is resulting in agricultural production. and i cited the case of the california study of tens of thousands of acres moving to another country. that pattern will continue if we don't fix this problem. >> in the remaining seconds -- some would argue if we don't have a foreign labor force, it simply means more jobs for americans. but how does the lack of a program like this affect u.s. jobs or american worker jobs? >> several have raised this point, and perhaps arturo has a comment, too. i know time is running out. this issue has been studied and looked at exhaustively. senator feinstein has been personally involved in a number
8:46 pm
of effort out there to demonstrate -- are we replacing u.s. jobs here? are there people who would do this but are just not paying enough or something is wrong and therefore we are turning to these foreign workers? it has been proven time and time again, study after study, several cited in my written testimony, that is not the case. they will not do this work. and without this workforce, again, food production will go off sees and crops will be left unharvested in the u.s. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i will note that the outset i regret i was not able to be here at the hearing on friday. i join my colleague senator -- joined my colleague senator cornyn in west, texas, visiting with the victims of that accident and i want to thank my colleagues in the millions of americans will have lifted up the citizens of west to have been suffering through that tragedy, both west, texas, and obviously boston have both in the past week had horrific tragedies, and all of us are lifting up those who lost their lives, their families and loved
8:47 pm
ones, and the many who are injured and suffering. so, i am grateful for the great many prayers for the citizens of west and their suffering. i want to thank each of the three of you for being here today or you're very able testimony and your hard work and commitment to immigration reform -- before your very able testimony. thei want to thank all members of the so-called gang of 8 who have worked very hard on this difficult issue to try to reach a solution to a very difficult problem. and so, i commend the efforts of the four democrats and four republicans who have worked very hard on this. i think there is in or miss agreement in this country that our immigration system right now is broken. i think that is bipartisan agreement. i think it is across the country. i think there are huge challenges.
8:48 pm
i think those challenges are particularly acute in the agricultural area. and i will note, for me, this is an issue that is not simply abstract. i am crowd, a son of an immigrant who came from cuba with nothing and to be a grandson of an echo cultural worker. i grandfather worked in the sugar canes on a plantation in cuba under very difficult circumstances. indeed, i would note -- and i would like to commend the senior senator from california for this very substantive report that she has put together. i think it is very well done. and i think it very effectively tells the story of how the current system is not working. indeed, i made the point of reading the section on taxes -- texas, and what is contained there very much is what i have heard from farmers and ranchers throughout the state. agriculture is critical to my state, as it is to her state,
8:49 pm
and i suspect the state of every member in this committee. i think all of us would like to see a bill that fixes the broken immigration system. and i would suggest -- and my view, the strategy that will be effective to pass a bill is to focus where there is a wide bipartisan agreement. that is how we will actually get a bill passed. and in my judgment, there are two broad areas where there it is bipartisan agreement right now. number one, i think there is bipartisan agreement that we've got to get serious about securing the border. that we need to increase manpower, that we need to increase technology, that we need to fix the problem. in a post 9/11 world i think it does not make sense we do not know the criminal history in the background of those coming in, and i think there is wide agreement that we should fix that, including the problem of visa overstays. i think there is likewise wide bipartisan agreement that we need to improve legal immigration, that we need to streamline it, that we need to reduce the bureaucracy, reduce the red tape, reduce the waiting periods.
8:50 pm
one of the things all three of the witnesses have talked about today are the difficulties h-2a h-2a of the existing h-2a system and having the system work. and one reason we see illegal immigration at the levels we do is because our legal immigration system is not working effectively. and i think we should all be champions of legal immigrants making the system work, and not just welcoming but celebrating illegal immigrants -- legal immigrants. i think if we are going to see an immigration reform bill pass, that should be the focus of the bill. billnk if instead the includes elements that are deeply divisive -- and i would note i do not think there is issue in this entire debate
8:51 pm
that is more divisive than a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally. in my view, any bill that insists upon that jeopardizes the likelihood of passing any immigration reform bill. so, it is my hope that passing a bipartisan bill addressing areas of common agreement -- securing the border, improving legal immigration and making sure we have workers who are here out of the shadows able to work legally, i hope that that reform legislation will not be held hostage to an issue that is deeply, deeply divisive, namely a pathway to citizenship. getmy view, that is how we something done, we focus on areas of agreement, not on areas of disagreement. and i hope that over the course of consideration, we will see some consensus come together to do exactly that.
8:52 pm
thank you. >> thank you, senator cruz. senator graham? >> i will pick up from where my friend from texas -- incentives. having dealt -- consensus. having dealt with this 50,005, i think think we are reaching consensus. the first consent of we reached is the current system is not working. if you are worried about amnesty, that is exactly what we have. we have 11 million people roaming around the with really no way to find out who they are under the current construct. senator cruz is right, if you are trying to access legal labor it is incredibly hard to do. the visas ran out, it is to come located. i think most americans believe the status quo will not work. they want the borders secured. there is consensus. very few people in this country who think border security is not a good thing. and visa control -- 40% of the people here illegally did not come across the border, they
8:53 pm
overstayed their visas. all the hijackers on 9/11 were visa overstays. if boston tells us anything, we need to be aware of who is living among us, whether nativeborn or come in on a visa and become a citizen. we can be threatened by our own people. so, there is a consensus about border security, a consensus the status quo should be be placed. i think there is a consensus about what senatorcruz said, a guest worker -- with this caveat. where senator sessions and i join forces. workert want a foreign commented country and take a take a job from a willing american worker. be only time i want you to able to hire somebody, mr. rodriguez, is when an american worker will not do the job after you advertise at a competitive wage. until you get the system kind of under control, we really don't know.
8:54 pm
why are there almost no nativeborn workers in agriculture? is it because the work is too hard and we have moved on as a people? is it because the wages are too low and most of them are your legal immigrants? we won't know until we get water out of chaos. i think the other thing people have come to rips with -- where senatorcruz and i disagreed -- the 11 million are not going to go away and most people are ok with a pathway to citizenship -- 70% -- if it is earned. if you don't cut in line in front of those who were patient waiting. if, as a condition for staying here, you have to go through a criminal background check, you have to pay a fine. if, as a condition of staying here to become a citizen, you have to learn the language. and hold a job. and we are talking about a 10- year minimum before you can even apply for a green card. and the conditions on the
8:55 pm
pathway to citizenship are you have to learn the language, you have to pay a fine for the crime he committed, you have to go to a criminal background check and keep a job. i think most americans would say that is a practical solution. and most americans like me do not want to deal with this 20 years from now. and my goal is to in this debate and get it right. we did not get it right in 1986. when it comes to the agricultural community, mr. connors, do you believe most people working in agriculture are noncitizens? re: illegal immigrants? >> senator graham, i believe statistics to verify that the numbers are somewhere between 60% to 70% of the agricultural workforce are undocumented. >> why is that? mr. rodriguez, do you agree with that?
8:56 pm
>> yes, sir. >> why is that? >> i think you pointed out some of the reasons. you set the current systems that are in place are not -- >> employers cannot get enough legal labor because there are limits on the visas and it is complicated and expensive. you agree with that? >> yes. >> everybody said yes. and it appears that meatpacking, poultry, agriculture, some of these more labor-intensive jobs, that it is hard to find labor in this country? do you agree with that? >> well, senator, let me just respond. i am not here representing the meatpacking industry but the six categories, if you will, of agricultural workers out there and there is no question i wholeheartedly agree with that payment, that you cannot get americans to do this work. >> here is the question. if you pay them $40 an hour, you probably could, but nobody would be left in american agriculture -- they would go to mexico. you have to find a way, in my view, to replace our agricultural workforce to 60%-
8:57 pm
70% your legal and everybody should be legal. no benefits our economy having a bunch of illegal workers in any part of the economy dominate from that part of our economy. what i think we have done in this bill we try to strike a balance, senator rubio and feinstein, in my view, have done a good job, to be placed the illegal workforce with a legal workforce good one last thought -- just indulge me for a second. this pathway to citizenship has three triggers. there has to be a border security strategy created by homeland security before the pathway to citizenship can be fully implemented. you have to have e-verify up and running. and you have to have enter and exit control visas before people can transition from temporary legal status to get a green card. i think those three triggers make sense. if this committee can make those triggers more effect if,
8:58 pm
if senator cornyn can help us on the exit visa system, count me in. securean find ways to the border better, count me in. at the end of the day, i want to make sure we not have a third wave. and getting the agriculture part right, 60%-70% workers in agriculture illegal, seems to be a good place to start. i would like to compliment the authors of this part of the bill, say you have done a good job in late -- let's make it better, if we can. >> thank you. that's it. i want to thank -- >> i know -- i have been whether chairman has been, as chairman of the committee and we have to move on. but i do want the record to show that we were hoping to have a second round, so we will submit our questions for answers in writing.
8:59 pm
>> i appreciate that. i am looking at the number of witnesses would have today. it is going to take some time. of course, we will have another panel tomorrow with the head of homeland security. i want to thank mr. rodriguez, mr. connor, ms. eastman, for being here. ach one of you have been very, very helpful in putting this together. created in 1979. >> on c-span tonight, first ladies and plans and image features mary todd lincoln, wife of abraham linco

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The simplest and most direct method is
WARNING: nohup, by default, sends output of the process to a text file. If you are not careful, that file can become dangerously large in some cases. Treat it like any other ever-growing log file.
Install screen. In the terminal type
If you are frequently starting a service like Jenkins that you want to have run in the background and not close when you end your session, you should consider implementing an init script for it. Look at the scripts in /etc/init.d/ for examples. These are short shell scripts that allow you to do things like
There is a great example script for the Hudson service, which functions very similarly to Jenkins (they are sibling forks of the same codebase) here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/HudsonUbuntuLinuxStartupScript
Use nohup
No Hang Up. Run a command immune to hangups, runs the given command with hangup signals ignored, so that the command can continue running in the background after you log out.ManPage

xperia active Vs Defy+
I am confused between these two phones. basically i am butter hands drop everything.. so going for one of these rugged android.. ur suggestions please
Roy, 04 Nov 2011It does not have a front facing camera.. dats for sure coz m using it...U r right dude. It does not hav front facing camera. I too am using this mobile.
I love this phone!
I really dont want a clumpsy big screen phone, 3.7" is max for me, maybe 4" if i can still operate it with one hand, but I thought 3" was too small.. Until I tested it.
Ive compared it to the Defy (Defy+ is the same phone as Defy but with a bigger battery and overclocked processor!) and while the Defy has a bigger screen which makes typing more comfortable, the screen is almost useless in sunlight and the rubber protectors on the sides breaks easily, the screen itself easily gets shattered and the whole plastic of it made me go... NAAAAhhhh (and i didnt even mention the painful motoblur experience).
The Xperia Active however is full body aluminium, fantastic screen, good camera and, to me most important, FANTASTIC AUDIO (the Digital Audio Converter is awesome!)!
Ive had this phone for 3 weeks now and everything just works as it should, and the battery life is not sub-par as they say in this review.
I recommend this phone to everyone!
Abid_jsr, 04 Nov 2011 Yes, this phone has front facing camera. Most probably it has light sensor and other feature ... moreDude it dont hav front facing camera. It has ambient light sensor, status led and proximity sensor. Thats all.
Yes, this phone has front facing camera. Most probably it has light sensor and other feature along with secondary camera. Just see the large photo of this phone on this site. You'll be able to front facing camera just on the top right side of the phone.
Spase, 27 Oct 2011My son just got his active today from expansys.com.au he's into surfing n body boarding, so h... morepositive it has front camera?! i'm interested in buying this phone...does the website deliver to the philippines?
it has dragontrail glass. its as tough as gorilla glass. and its not vulnerable to scratches or breaking.
A review of this smartphone would be very much appreciated. Even before its official launch, I have been checking this site for some previews and reviews. Now that it's officially available, many of us are really interested into reading an in-depth analysis, given that the unit has "special" features.
asianguy, 23 Oct 2011dragontrail glass isn't as good as gorilla glass. xperia active phone can easily get scratches... morei just dont get it! this glass was announced to be used after the first of this year 2011..name the phones on which this glass is used and make a comparison..using your personal opinion to judge a product you have no clue about is just obsurd..do you even know the compounds used in regular screen glass without googling it?
Tampoo, 29 Oct 2011Wow. It has just been a few hours that my love have given my present. An Active ! It looks f... moreare you shure about that front facing camera?!?
Wow. It has just been a few hours that my love have given my present. An Active !
It looks far more elegant than what I thought. The most amazing thing is that it's so light. The touchscreen is really sensitive and handy. Despite the 3-inch screen, but it seems quite sufficient in size. No front camera unfortunately, but the rare camera is perfect. Xperia Active employing the 1Ghz Processor is very smart and rosponds so fast.
No doubt that it will utterly satisfy your needs.

Recap of this past week: Monday morning we found out we're having a boy (!), Tuesday we found out my computer's hard drive might be broken (!), Wednesday we found out it was just the cable that goes to the hard drive (!) and today we found a fresh bin of organic fruits and vegetables delivered to our front door. That's life, isn't it, filled with surprises that delight us, discourage us and change our schedules sufficiently to remind us we're not in control, a theme I keep coming back to this year. Right now, I'm mostly feeling the blessing it is to get to see that I don't run the universe (or the way a day goes or even how happy and healthy this little guy inside me seems to be doing so far) as well as thankful for the miniature moments that surprise me in the midst of life, like a Wednesday warm enough to take off my jacket or the way nothing makes a girl feel richer than a table filled with fresh food to eat. The green bin came from the new-to-Nashville Green Bean Delivery … [Read more...]
Autumn Napa Cabbage Salad
The main reason I am posting this recipe is because the Napa cabbage we've been getting in our farm share lately has convinced me there is no prettier vegetable on earth. From those lacy leaves to that ombre green color, Napa cabbage is seriously stunning. I don't often pick up a vegetable simply because it looks nice---I mean, there was that one time---but if I were going to start doing it again, Napa would be the one. It's a star. And talking about Napa cabbage's beauty is worth talking about because, as far as lists go, Prettiest Vegetables is probably one of the only ones it'd make. I mean, when was the last time you ordered Napa cabbage at a restaurant? Received it on your plate when dining in the home of friends? Looked twice at it in the produce section and brought it home? What do you think about Napa cabbage, if you've tried it? Has it registered as something worth shouting about? The thing about Napa cabbage is, despite its curb appeal, it's still cabbage. Roughage. A colon … [Read more...]
Roasted Cabbage Wedges + Blogger Ideas for Using up Your CSA Vegetables
I keep wanting to write that joining a CSA is like having a child but, I'm 99% sure the only thing that would do is prove I'm not a parent. And probably make all of you who are parents hate me. So joining a CSA is not like having a child. It's just a responsibility—the kind where you have to be faithful to go get your pickups, at which point a bushel of freshly picked produce is placed in your hands, and then you're sent home to care for it and do something with it; and then, you hear about the creative and nurturing things everyone else who is part of a CSA is doing with their zucchini and kale and sweet potatoes, and you can't help but think about the bunches of basil sitting at the back of your fridge; and suddenly you're beginning new cookbooks not by reading the opening introductions but by turning passionately to the indexes and hunting for squash and Swiss chard and cabbage; and you don't even want to admit these things to anyone because then they will say, well, why did … [Read more...]
when perspectives change
[donotprint] If you had met me ten years ago, I would have told you I hated roller coasters, expressways, family vacations to Wisconsin and, with passion, every kind of dog, big or small. I didn't like the texture of tomatoes until I grew my own, just two years ago. I didn't like hot weather. And I didn't like several people I knew, mainly because I'd labeled them weird, or fake, or rude, or something else. Things change. In every example named above, when my perspectives changed, so did my opinion: An October weekend with some college friends taught me strapping myself into Batman and letting it turn me upside down wouldn't make me vomit---what's more, it would be fun; A year spent studying in Florida, hundreds of miles from my family and friends, would cure me of my fear of expressways, if only because they were the means to the white sandy beaches; Four years away from my family made me appreciate them, and their vacations, more; we got a tiny white peekapoo, who, by the … [Read more...]

Dear Friends of Take 2,
We just wrapped up our 10th summer at Take2. The campers and staff have much to be proud of: they worked hard, learned a lot and, most importantly, had a lot of fun along the way. Each camper celebrated so many successes, whether it was….
This summer's curriculum focused on:
- Week 1: "Thinking about Me" Labeling my own emotional experience and what strategies I can use to regulate myself when my feelings start to get out of control.
- Week 2: "Thinking about You"- How do I use the your "clues"… body language, tone of voice and facial expression to figure out what you are thinking and feeling?
- Week 3: "Thinking about Us"- How do my thoughts differ from yours? How does my behavior impact the thoughts you are having and how can we create good thoughts in one another so that you want to be with me and I want to be with you?
- Week 4: "Bringing it all Together"- The strategies and skills the campers acquired over the 3 weeks were put into action as we took several field trips and made gifts for one another.
The fun does not cease with the end of summer- social learning groups will continue throughout the year as kids continue to explore the secrets of friendship, tips for how to be flexible and how to set plans to accomplish their goals.
Check our website often to find camp updates, social learning groups and summer 2014 registration.
As always, we are so grateful for your support.

Albert Wendt
Albert Wendt ONZ CNZM (born 1939) is a Samoan poet and writer who also lives in New Zealand. Among his works is Leaves of the Banyan Tree (1979).
Albert Wendt was born in Apia, Samoa. Wendt is of German heritage through his great-grandfather from his patrilineal ancestry, which he reflected it in some of his poetry works.[fn 1][2] He studied at Ardmore Teacher's College and at the Victoria University of Wellington, graduating with an M.A. in History. His Master's thesis was about the Mau, Sāmoa's independence movement from colonialism during the early 1900s (decade). His thesis was entitled Guardians and Wards: A study of the origins, causes and the first two years of the Mau in Western Sāmoa.[3]
He returned in 1965 to Western Samoa, becoming headmaster of Samoa College. In 1974 he moved to Fiji, where he taught at the University of the South Pacific.
In 1977 Wendt returned home to set up the University of the South Pacific Center in Sāmoa. He worked closely with the literary journal Mana, and edited in 1975 collections of poems from Fiji, Western Samoa, the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), and the Solomon Islands.
Wendt's epic Leaves of the Banyan Tree (1979) won the 1980 New Zealand Book Awards. He was appointed to the first chair in Pacific literature at the University of the South Pacific in Suva. In 1988 he took up a professorship of Pacific studies at the University of Auckland. In 1999 Wendt was visiting Professor of Asian and Pacific Studies at the University of Hawaii. In 2001 he was made Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to literature. In the 2013 Queen's Birthday Honours he was appointed a member of the Order of New Zealand.[4]
Wendt is the subject of a documentary, The New Oceania, made in New Zealand by Point of View Productions. Directed by Shirley Horrocks, the film screened at the New Zealand International Film Festival and Hawaii International Film Festival in 2005, TVNZ 2006 and ABC Australia in 2007.[5]

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.
Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)
Contributed by: Zaady
The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.
A scatterbrain is one who never has an unspoken thought.
Thinking without constructive action becomes a disease.
Money is like an arm or a leg - use it or lose it.
All that money can do is buy us some one else's work in exchange for our own.
You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.
The object of living is work, experience, happiness.
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
People can have the Model T in any colour - so long as it's black.

how to set autoplay ?
how to set autoplay ?
I removed this option from the general settings as those are for all the instances of the player and the auto play should be set just to one of the instance in a page; if you want to set to auto play a specific player, you should add
class="{autoplay: true};" to the corresponding A element:
Karavan
I added that
Richard Clayderman - Night in white satin
but still does not start automatically
http://www.sibiu-trips.com this is the site...
The player appears in sidebar.
As I can see from the source of the page the player is showing exactly where the link to the audio file is, and that is correct.
You set a width to 1 so the player doesn't have space for the seeking bar and the title.
you should not set:

As the component get the parameter from the class attribute as a JSON object.
Anyway I made a major update (v. 0.2) that let you customize each player differently on the post page editor, adding also the autoplay property from there.
Thanks very much.
I set the volume to 2 but it's still loud. I would like be lower. how could I set the volum to a lower level?
You can set a lower volume going to the post editor where you place the audio file, select the link and open the customize button placed on the top of the editor toolbar. In the popup window you can set the volume manually on a scale from 1 to 10.

Workers' Compensation 101
no certificate
with CEU Certificate*
14Exams &
average time
have taken this course
Course Description
Since as far back as Ancient Greece and Rome, there has been a system in place in all civilized societies to compensate those individuals who have become injured or disabled due to a work-related accident. The laws and regulations governing what is known today as Workers' Compensation have changed dramatically over the last 1700 years.
This course will take a close look at the entire Workers' Compensation system, from the filing of an initial claim, to a detailed look on how to choose the right doctor and lawyer, how to represent yourself in the absence of a lawyer, and, most importantly, a detailed look into the specific federal, state, and private benefits that are available to people who have become injured in their workplace.
Filing a Workers' Compensation claim need not be a daunting task. Every worker must seek the advice of qualified professionals. This course will provide an understanding of the core concepts in a Workers' Compensation claim, as well as education on where to get further information.
Being injured in the workplace can mean a significant change in one's life, and it is important to ensure that one's rights – either those of an employee or an employer – are being fully protected.

Course Lessons
Lesson 1. The History of Workers' CompensationWorkers' Compensation regulation and laws appear today in virtually all industrialized nations although laws governing workers have changed dramatically throughout history, and the United States is certainly no exception.
Lesson 2. Workers' Compensation BenefitsDepending on the severity of your injury, and several other factors, you may be entitled to a wide range of benefits. This chapter will address each type of benefit in detail, explain how to obtain these benefits, and, if applicable, what rules and regula
Lesson 3. Filing a Workers' Compensation ClaimFiling a Workers' Compensation claim is often not an easy task, but it need not be a daunting task.
Lesson 4. Denial of Benefits and AppealsFor most of us, it is traumatic enough just to have an injury at work. But, experiencing a denial of benefits from your employer or your employer's insurance company can make the situation a great deal worse.
Lesson 5. Medical Treatment and Choosing a DoctorThis chapter will address how to choose the right doctor for your needs, and it will address the medical treatments that you are entitled to under Workers' Compensation insurance.
Lesson 6. Dealing with Attorneys and Legal FormsHaving an attorney working for you on a Workers' Compensation claim is not required, but it is certainly beneficial in many instances.
Lesson 7. Handling Your Own CaseAlthough this chapter will not be an all inclusive lesson on how to represent yourself in legal matters, it will give you an introduction to how the legal process works in a Workers' Compensation case in which you choose to be your own representative.
Lesson 8. Preparing for a Hearing, Mediation, and Other Litigation MattersThere is an enormous amount of material that must be reviewed during a Workers' Compensation case, and having an attorney to help you through the process of preparing for a hearing, mediation, and other matters concerning the law might prove to be essenti
Lesson 9. Financial ConsiderationsThis chapter will address answers to some commonly asked financial questions dealing with Workers' Compensation.
Lesson 10. Workers Compensation FraudWhether you are an employer, a worker, or an insurance agent, you need to be familiar with the subject of Workers' Compensation fraud.
Lesson 11. Social Security Disability Insurance and Workers' CompensationSince both the Social Security Administration and the Workers' Compensation system have a great deal of interaction, it is important to fully understand the rules and regulations of the Social Security program.
Lesson 12. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires a covered employer to grant medical leave to an employee under certain circumstances.
Lesson 13. Americans with Disabilities ActMany people who have become disabled as a result of a Workers' Compensation case will want to learn about their rights and protections under the law.

Have a question? Ask Oregon
Should we visit Crater Lake or the Painted Hills?
I've fielded quite a few difficult questions, but this might take the cake. My initial response is, "why not both?" If you have time for both, obviously it's a no-brainer. If not, there is no ultramarine blue that comes close to Crater Lake. I wish I was kidding when I say this but the first time I saw Crater Lake in person, I cried. Seriously. It is so beautiful. And it's history is so inte…

Dear Editor,
Page 1 of 1
Dear Editor: There is a double standard in Washington D.C. The double standard is that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said in a book that Obama is "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." If that is not racist, I do not know what is, and Reid's not having to step down from being Senate Majority Leader is a double standard when Sen. Lott lost his leadership post.
Dear Editor: Thank you for Amber's recent article on dual enrollment opportunities at Georgia Perimeter College.
Dear Editor: I emphatically agree with the previous opinions where disgust was shown for the manner in which our local elected officials are spending money. If our local Chamber of Commerce can't support itself, then why don't they just close their doors and go home like other businesses have to do? Why are they running to the city and county governments looking for a handout like a bunch of moochers? I also don't agree with money being spent on fancy houses for the Recreation Department, trails being paved and parks being built. A fraction of this money ...
Dear Editor: My sister had a minor traffic accident over the holidays and I happened to be in the area right when it happened and waited with her for a sheriff's car to arrive. When we called, we told the 911 operator that there were no injuries. A little while later two big Newton County Fire trucks arrived. Being a retired firefighter from another state, I struck up a conversation with one of the county guys. I was curious as to how the call was dispatched since we told 911 there were no injuries. The firefighter explained to me ...
Dear Editor: On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I wish to congratulate District Attorney W. Kendall Wynne Jr. on his appointment by Gov. Sonny Perdue as Superior Court Judge in the Alcovy Judicial Circuit, covering Newton and Walton counties.
Dear Editor: I am appalled at what I am hearing tonight on ABC News about the Muslim young man who attempted to blow up a Northwest Airlines plane. He bought his ticket on December 16, paying over $3,000 in cash for his ticket - red flag number one. He boarded the international flight with no luggage -red flag number two. This after his father turned him in as a militant Muslim - red flag number three. Our federal government is dysfunctional. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue...it has nothing to do with who is in the White House ...
Dear Editor: I am a newcomer to the Covington area, and I am baffled by the city and county funding the local Chamber of Commerce. It seems to me this action could constitute both unethical and unsound economic behavior. In Newton County, the chamber seems to be placed on some type of pedestal while in other parts of the country where I have lived, they are referred to as "the $3.35 an hour boys." It should be noted that at a recent job conference President Obama didn't even seem fit to invite the national chamber.
Dear Editor: On behalf of the Main Street Covington Board we wish to express our appreciation for everyone who made the 2009 Covington/Newton County Christmas Parade such an overwhelming success Dec. 5.
The Covington Lions Club, with assistance from the Oxford Lion's Club, did an outstanding job of facilitating the parade. From promoting the parade, to the long hours that went into creating the parade line up, managing the lineup, to organizing the judging and hosting the viewing stand in the downtown the club successfully managed every element of the parade. Special thanks to Ed Minge who has ...
Dear Editor: At the Dec. 15 meeting of the Newton County Board of Commissioners I voted no to an immediate allotment of $120,000 to the Chamber of Commerce. This prompted some people to question my absence from the presentation the chamber gave to the city and the county on Nov. 19. I would like to provide the people of the county with my perspective about this issue.
First, the Nov. 19 meeting at The Center for Preservation & Planning was not an announced or advertised "work session." Any official meeting involving government leaders that is sanctioned by the county has ...
Dear Editor: I just wanted to take a moment to express my outrage at your coverage of the Owenby family situation last week. I realize that once you call 911 that statements and facts that you share become "public record," but that does not mean that you should have embarrassed this poor young man (who obviously is having a mental crisis) with all of the details that you printed. This young man is not a celebrity, and has some rights to privacy. I was not sure if I was reading The Covington News or the National Enquirer?
Dear Editor: In regard to the letter to the editor published Dec. 16, I want all the citizens of Newton County to know that the Tax commissioner does not set the values on any motor vehicle. The valuations shown are values determined by the Revenue Commissioner of the State of Georgia, using a combination of fair market value and wholesale value. Values are arrived at by using a variety of market guides that are available. This information is on the Department of Revenue Web site at www.dor.ga.gov.
Dear Editor: I read with interest your series on Newton County district by district. As the writer traveled to the county's southern border, the FFA Camp was highlighted as one of the county's best kept secrets, and it is (The Covington News, Nov. 25).
I want to point out that three miles before you get there is yet another best kept secret, so secret it wasn't even mentioned. Just off Ga. Highway 36 on Scout Road is Bert Adams Scout Reservation. This beautiful 1,200-acre property has been serving the Boy Scouts of the Greater Atlanta Council ...
Dear Editor: This January will mark the 39th year of purchasing license plates and or decals for my personal vehicles. From 1970 until this week, I can honestly say that the value of any particular car or truck has never increased. I have bought tags in DeKalb, Rockdale, and for the past nine years, Newton. Not this year. Even though the millage rate is the same as last year, the ad valorem tax increased by $11.07, and thusly a cost increase for the 2010 decal. We stopped by the tag office today for an explanation. The lady on duty ...
Dear Editor: As co-chairs of Twilights at Chimney Park, we wanted to thank the Covington community for their support of Friends of Newton Parks' second Twilights event. Many individuals, organizations, and businesses contributed to this magical evening.
Thank you to Abigail Coggin of the Arts Association for planning music, Berry Christmas Tree Farm for the beautiful Christmas trees, Newton Electric Supply and Moseley Electric for new lighting features, Bonanza Productions for their generous donation and Summit Printing for posters and stickers.
Dear Editor: Illiteracy is widespread in our county and our country. I encourage you to read up on its many causes and its devastating effects. I am confident that if you had done this before publishing Commissioner Henderson's letter you would have made a better editorial decision.

The assistant secretary for tax policy at the U.S. Department of the Treasury revealed in a blog post July 2 that the administration will delay the Affordable Care Acts requirement that businesses with more than 50 employees provide health insurance by 2014 until 2015 after hearing concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively.
Mark J. Mazur wrote in the post that the one-year delay will allow for the simplification of reporting requirements and more time for businesses to adapt to changes. Formal guidelines will be published within the next week, he added.

"Warnemuende" Top 5 Page for this destination Warnemünde by Mariajoy
Warnemünde Travel Guide: 38 reviews and 108 photos
The Baltic Spa, Warnemuende was once just a little fishing community a few kilometers from Rostock. It has been a popular Health resort since the 1800's when the number of residents totalled 750. By the early 1900's the small town would host up to 2,000 visitors who came to swim and enjoy the healthy seaside air and vast stretches of golden sand. Warnemuende is also the place where the famous beach basket chair was invented!!
Nowadays visitors can take cruises, hire boats, and windsurf, to name a few of the popular activities. A visitor strolling through the town today can still see some of the remaining, pretty little fisherman's cottages and get glimpse of how life must have been before the 1900s.
Since 1873, Warnemuende has been the main port for ferry services to Scandinavia

Teepott actually means Tea Pot. It is from the "low" German dialect, which is in some ways similar to Dutch. Tasse (cup) and Kanne (also pot) are from the "high" German (school German).
Lovely page Maria. Thanks for the VT tour!
Can't imagine how cold it must have been when you visited. We visited on a summer day in July and the wind on the beach was fierce. Everyone was flying kites!!
Nice page with great pics :)
Very nice page ;-)
Interesting page about beach basket chair town. I see you liked strolling through the place. Neo-Gothic sometimes look even better then Old-Gothic. Ferry to Scandivia? May be I'll take it one day. Thanks Maria for sharing!
good proof here that Germany has some decent beaches indeed :))
Booo, windy indeed ! The lighthouse is adorable :-)) Oh, and ask Petra what "Backfisch" also means :-))
I see that you mist out on the Skybar ;-)))) Well it really did need a makeover! ...happy sunday for you as well :-D
I once (in GDR times) spent a night in the Hotel Neptune, on one of the top floors. It was my second most expensive hotel room thus far, and all night the wind howled in through the cracks. But it did have a sea view, I must admit.
