Skip to comments."No More Deaths" Volunteer Workshop Reveals Tactics to Assist Illegal Immigrants
Posted on 07/30/2004 6:32:12 PM PDT by JackelopeBreeder
No More Deaths, a volunteer coalition composed of advocacy groups whose work is to support illegal immigrants with water and medical aid, recently held a meeting in Bisbee to train volunteers in dealing with both law enforcement and illegal border crossers they refer to as "guests".
The primary speaker for the workshop was Margo Cowan, who has defended undocumented people for 35 years. Cowan was indicted in 1972 by the Nixon Administration on 52 counts of aiding and abetting illegal aliens; the charges were dropped by former President Jimmy Carter. Cowan currently serves as legal counsel to Rep. Raul Grijalva.
Lupe Castillo and Kat Rodriguez of Derechos Humanos were also in attendance to educate the 30 volunteers, many of whom traveled from out of state to attend the training meeting. Derechos Humanos openly states that their goal is to open the borders and abolish the Border Patrol.
The stated purpose of No More Deaths (No Mas Muertes) is to provide humanitarian aid for undocumented migrants; to prevent their deaths in the desert, and to do so in a non-violent way, while not cooperating with Border Patrol. As one participant said, "It's not my job to call Border Patrol-why should I interfere with their destiny?"
No More Deaths members, in cooperation with church groups, provide food and water for immigrants being detained by Border Patrol, and also in the "field" working out of mobile RV aid stations set up in Arivaca and Douglas, Arizona.
Cowan stated that for every immigrant death reported by authorities, there are 10 more that go unreported. There are no statistical facts from U.S. local, state or federal data or Mexican consulates to verify whether the statement is true. Cowan and others at the meeting routinely referred to illegal aliens as "our children." Cowan said it is important to set up aid stations in Cochise County because the Tucson Border Patrol sector is now focusing attention on the most active crossing points. Because Border Patrol estimates 5 (illegal aliens) come through for every one caught, Cowan is concerned for the safety of the 5 million "friends," as she refers to illegal immigrants, who have illegally entered the United States.
She said the rate of recidivism (those who've crossed, been caught, and re-crossed) is so low as to be described as "statistically insignificant" by the Border Patrol. And, although the Border Patrol claims that they have caught more felons, Cowan stated that is just a label that can be applied to undocumented aliens depending upon how many times they've been apprehended while crossing the border. Since October 1, 2003, the start of their fiscal year, Border Patrol reports that as of July 15, agents have apprehended 8,283 convicted felons attempting to cross back into the United States after being deported. If Border Patrol is catching only one in five, that means that up to 20,000 convicted criminals could have entered the country in that same period.
Cowan boasted that with 2 to 3 million "guests" coming through every year, the U.S. Attorney can't prosecute every one, so they decide to go after the coyotes. As a result of rapes, robberies and other abuses at the hands of smugglers, groups of undocumented migrants are less likely to rely on coyotes to guide them across the border. Often a group of "guests" will appoint a person (who has crossed and been caught) to be their leader, and each person will give him $50 or so for taking the responsibility as the guide if the group is caught.
Cowan told the group of new volunteers that they cannot aid or abet aliens in furtherance of their illegal status in the U.S. How they get away with bending but not breaking the law, is under much scrutiny by Border Patrol and other federal law enforcement agencies who are beginning to keep an eye on the groups who provide aid to illegal aliens. Cowan says ignorance is the key. "All you have to do, the most important thing is, to not ask if they are illegal or where they are from!" Cowan says if they are in the United States, then if volunteers don't ask, they can assume they are helping citizens. Many of their aid stations are only a few hundred feet from the border fence. The same is true of water stations set up on BLM land by the Tucson based Humane Borders group.
No More Deaths volunteers, can, and will transport possible illegal aliens to receive medical help. Cowan's strategy, "You can ask them questions to see how they are feeling, and observe their condition. There is a list of approved doctors and nurses that a volunteer can call to get an OK to take the migrant, for a medical evaluation." Cowan said as long as you have permission from one of the doctors or registered nurses in the "friends network" then you can legally transport them. The group claims to have a list of such doctors that volunteers can call to get permission to transport the "guests".
A volunteer suggested putting magnetized Samaritan signs with a red cross on the cars when approaching undocumented migrants or when transporting them, so that everyone will know their mission is a medically necessary or humanitarian effort. Another volunteer said that doctors he had worked with in the organization had said that if a person is crossing the desert in the summer, regardless of whether or not they look sick, they all need medical help. If anyone in the "friends network" were stopped by Border Patrol, while transporting aliens in their cars, volunteers were instructed to identify themselves as being with No More Deaths, since there is "an umbrella of political protection" associated with the group. And they should also say that they were taking the aliens for a medical evaluation in Tucson at St. Mary's Hospital or for respite at South Side Presbyterian Church (home of Humane Borders).
According to Cowan, "we are transparent," so there is no attempt to conceal undocumented migrants by making them lie down in the back seat or hide in the trunk. Someone asked, "Is it legal to take them home with you, like if you need to pick up the list of doctors and nurses you need to take them to?" Cowan said, "Yes, but you must take them there," (to medical help).
"If you meet a group and some are in distress, and others are not, you cannot transport those who are OK," Cowan answered. "We encourage people who want to (transport those who are OK) to do that, on their own, but we don't want to get in trouble, so we don't do that as a group, under the name No More Deaths," Cowan warned the volunteers.
Another question that arose was if a "friend" doctor recommended a 48-hour respite, could the volunteer take the aliens home, let them take a shower, and then let them use the phone at the end of that period of time? Cowan said that although a church designated as a respite center was preferable, it was all right to do this, but if the alien calls out on your home phone, you want to make sure your ID is blocked, as you do not want coyotes knowing your number.
Kat Rodriguez asked, "How do they get from your home to the bus, or other transportation (if you are not allowed to transport them)?" Others also wanted to know if it was legal to give them some money for their trip.
Cowan responded: "Almost everyone coming over has family here who will come and pick them up. Public transportation is just too dangerous." Other volunteers were still puzzled and asked further about how to aid aliens in resuming their journey after a medically recommended respite. Then Cowan added, "This is just what No More Deaths recommends legally; other friends do other pieces." No More Deaths official policy is "We can't do this piece-other people do this piece, just in case there are some government spies here. It's important for us to do everything to keep the criminal enterprise part away from our humanitarian efforts," Cowan explained. The volunteers smiled and laughed.
Later Cowan added that most volunteers in the group might know someone who would "do the other piece" but there is no organized group to perform transportation functions for the "guests". Cowan warned the volunteers that if they are detained for any reason by law enforcement while transporting an alien, the case must be turned over to the state's attorney, whose decision it will be either to dismiss it or to prosecute.
The group debated if it was legal to give "guests" a map, so that they knew where they were and how to get to where they were going.
Cowan said that it was a legal gray area; and "we are concerned that people may misinterpret them (the maps) and they won't be helpful."
Others in the group shared stories about Border Patrol agents who did not want them to give water or food to alien detainees in the field, and they were assured that it is perfectly legal to give them the "Know Your Rights" card, and to share food and water with them. Cowan said those agents who are resistant to No More Deaths volunteers' help are: "young agents, scared to death, based on lack of knowledge, substantively and culturally, of whom they are dealing with."
Kat Rodriguez said, "God forbid you feed a felon."
The group discussed the necessity of getting a written commitment from local law enforcement (cities, county sheriffs) to not enforce immigration law, since only the Department of Homeland Security has the authority to inquire into a person's legal status in this country.
As far as the Border Patrol is concerned, they have no authority over you while you are on private property, and that includes churches that may be used for respites.
One of the speakers claimed that there were no kitchens in the detention facilities, and sometimes people there said they had not been fed for 48 hours. She wanted to know if the group cared to organize an effort to bring a mobile kitchen to the incarceration facility to feed the "guests".
Toward the end of the meeting, Lupe Castillo, a volunteer coordinator added, "Let's not get so wrapped up in humanitarian aid that we forget our principle effort is in changing border and immigration policy."
The primary speaker for the workshop was Margo Cowan, who has defended undocumented people for 35 years. Cowan was indicted in 1972 by the Nixon Administration on 52 counts of aiding and abetting illegal aliens; the charges were dropped by former President Jimmy Carter. Cowan currently serves as legal counsel to Rep. Raul Grijalva.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over??
And again and again and again and again....
Of course he doesn't have to prove anything --- and his numbers are absurd.
Even the hardest working are CRIMINAL INVADERS!
In paragraph 7:
1."the rate of recidivism ... is so low as to be ... statistically insignificant"
2."felons... is just a label that can be applied ...depending upon how many times they've been apprehended..."
3."..as of July 15, agents have apprehended 8,283 convicted felons attempting to cross..."
So...when they use the word "felon" they don't mean a criminal, they just mean someone who has tried more than once. The rate of apprehended crossers who try again is insgnificant, yet they have caught 8,283 of them in the last 15 days.
Do these things all go together?
You're on the right track with your thoughts, but your reading of the article is a little skewed.
When they say 'felons', they really do mean felons and they're not talking about the 'felony' of trying to reenter the US.
When the article says 'as of July 15', that is the period from the beginning of the fiscal year - 1 October '03 - until 7/15.
1. The coyotes openly brag that all of their customers eventually make it across if they don't give up. Get caught on Monday; make it on Tuesday.
2. The first apprehension is a misdemeanor; all subsequent apprehensions are felonies. The felonies mutiply with the lifestyle. If a US citizen engaged in document fraud, welfare fraud, tax evasion, etc., I don't think Uncle Suck would pass it off as a minor social faux pas.
3. That should read ."..as of July 15, agents have apprehended 8,283 (violent, previously deported) convicted felons attempting to cross (again and carry on with their normal behavior pattern...)"
OK, I see a bit. I read "as of" and interpreted it to mean "since". I understand that error.
It still seems to me as if our compassionate dimwit is saying that the BP attaches the title "felon" to repeat crossers in an attempt to discount the seriousness of the label, then quotes BP stats describing over 8000 of these people. Eight thousand doesn't seem like a neglegible figure, even with my better undestanding of the time frame.
I'm not going to aid and abet but I will not let a fellow human being die when I can prevent it. I do call the Border Patrol when I come across one .
I know --- but when I drive by and see these old people who I know are from Mexico out working in the fields in 100 plus temperature --- and then see how some of the legals are very lazy and never did work but get all kinds of taxpayer money --- I think I'd trade some around --- deport the welfare legals and let the harder working illegals stay in their place.
It irks me because it seems any one --- even someone already on government assistance of some form themselves, can bring over their relatives who have no ability to work and let the taxpayers provide for them --- yet the INS detention center here had some 75 year old guy who was extremely distraught about finding himself behind bars, he had only come to work because his family was desperate. He didn't see how taking a lowly job could be a crime and he had never been in jail in his whole life.
Not that what he did was right --- but I'd trade him for that lazier bunch we also see that happens to be here legally.
Numbers are wild and wonderful. The BP nabbed about 905,000 here on the border last year. They guesstimate they caught maybe one in five, so it might be that 3.6 million made it across safely. But then again, most of that 905,000 tried again and made it, too. So what is the true number?
Praise Allah and pass the guacamole.
A felon is someone who committed a felony crime --- and there are many felons coming over the border --- it's actually a misdemeanor at most to have just been found on the wrong side of the border.
The border patrol is very lenient actually on Mexicans. If they encounter one here illegally --- as long as the illegal doesn't claim US citizenship, present stolen or fake documents, they can choose "voluntary departure" which doesn't go on their record. They can do the voluntary departure over and over and over --- as long as they don't misrepresent their citizenship or were found committing another crime, that's all they get. The only thing they might have to lie about is having a job.
I understand but they should revolt from their slime
ball leaders.
I know what you mean -- and I'd bet a healthy sum that the evil "vigilante gangs" here in Cochise County have already rescued more illegals than these goofballs ever will. The only difference is we always turn them over to the Border Patrol.
IIRC, the label more appropriately fits persons in Cowan's business who aid and abet Illegaliens....
I lost track of which article we were discussing!
This is the one about the workshop held in Bisbee to teach people how to help the illegals survive, but the real goal of the group is to circumvent our national borders.
With that in mind, I don't place a whole lot of credence in the validity of the workshop leader's rhetoric, especially where it helps her cause and hurts ours.
A very real conundrum we all face is how we deal with this issue on both micro and macro levels....and those levels in between.
Like you, I would never allow an individual to die in the desert. On the other hand, I'd like to see the border sealed from Matamoras to San Diego, with just the International Ports of Entry left open.
In between, I have a friend living on a smuggling trail who lives in fear due to the hundreds of illegals parading through her front and back yard at all hours of the night.
I'm not going to aid and abet but I will not let a fellow human being die when I can prevent it. I do call the Border Patrol when I come across one .
IMHO, this is the right way to handle our problem.
Out of curiousity...do you live here with us? Or are you on a different stretch of the border?
This Cowan clown is playing with fire. Pretending that he doesn't know what's going on when he's well aware that he's aiding illegal aliens isn't going to cut it when he has his butt hauled before a judge
Exactly --- I'll be the first one to admit that all illegals are not exactly the same, some are more benign than others, some are extremely dangerous. And it's easy to pity --- but pity is a bad emotion because it doesn't always lead to the most effective approach. At some point all this non-stop massive immigration cannot just keep going on --- the saturation point has already been reached --- and at that point they need to stop leaving and start fixing up their own country. Fixing up Mexico would be the most beneficial for the most people --- and it's not getting fixed with all it's citizens packing up and flooding over the border.
She's long overdue...

My tagline is a personal gift from Don Raul de Aztlan himself. I believe he's still vice president of my fan club.
"Praise Allah and pass the guacamole."
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Somehow it should be easy enough to lojack their vehihicles or even better, set up a sting to LOOK LIKE these law breakers.
BTW someone should report this lawyer to the bar. You can't be a licensed lawyer and law breaker, they get picky about that.
Sorry, guys; too much exposure to this white-washed traitor activity makes me light-headed.
We were the world's remaining superpower until Bill Clinton and the free traders helped China get up to speed. China and every other country I know of (outside of Islam-contaminated Europe) has a shoot-first policy regarding invaders. America is a laughing stock because it refuses to safeguard it's own sovereignty. Even worse, the international community has come to regard us as Mexico's personal prison-bitch for reasons we citizens remain unprivy to. Our better diplomats are expected to go out and promote freedom and democracy while the government they represent has pissed those principles away for the sake of short-term profit pirates.
NOW the butcher has come for the bill while those responsible have left us all alone on the stoop to meet him. It's not enough that we tolerate lowered wages, higher taxation and cultural contamination. Now we can expect the senseless hatred of terrorism to further degrade our existance so the gated ones can eak out that last nickel of lucre. With them there's never enough. When did they get the reigns of our national policy?
Yeah, I'm wrapped a little too tight. Regarding the wonders of God's creation does give me hope that the worst mankind can do will never amount to squat in His scheme of things. Thanks.
How very nice and Christian of you!
Damn you to the hell you deserve!
Would you care to explain to my daughter why people who "hable espanol" means an unsafe area?
Care to tell my child why it is vital that she learns Spanish, instead of the language of her natural ancestors?
Care to tell me why I have to put up and pay for the rejected citizens of a foreign country, instead of carefully monitoring a real revolution on our border?
How very Christian of you, to make it my problem, and not yours.
I'm always wrapped too tight anymore.
A bunch of us down here are trying our best to arrange felony charges against this bunch. I would love to see them bulldozed by the full weight of Title 8, US Code. Some people just naturally look better wearing orange.
"Austin City No-Limits is brought to you by NAFTA: The Third World is just outside your door. And the Ford Foundation: Betraying your ancestors' legacy and sacrifices since 1964."
I live in New Mexico and our farms are often a highway for illegals.
Would you care to explain your extreme anger and hatred? You sound rabid. Have you had your shots or do I need to go in for treatments. You sound like a Dimocrat. If you have a solution then propose one. I don't and neither does our government. The military has been tried, contrary to what you hear. Until Mexico is as prosperous as the US they will come.
In what way? You are the first the say anything of the sort. Did they use a platoon and then say "It's not working." and then pull them off?
I want this stopped and people like you are abetting criminals whose unintended goal (for the most part, although I know that for some it is their intended goal) is the destruction of the U.S.
And, I agee with Sarasmom that I don't like the hispanic culture in any way. It's a culture of mostly scum.
Also, I would not help them in any way.
"You sound like a Dimocrat. If you have a solution then propose one. I don't and neither does our government. The military has been tried, contrary to what you hear. Until Mexico is as prosperous as the US they will come."
actually you are the one talking like a demoncrat. We give up, we cannot do it. Ohh, it is so unfair that they have less than us. Until we make as little as they do and have no more jobs then all will be fair and right and then they will stop coming.
That's what ranchers here are experiencing...but the word of that is only reaching our Representatives very slowly. and the national press even more slowly.
This has taken upwards of five years in our case with Congressman Kolbe, R-AZ.
Also, I would not help them in any way.
Those are very vitriolic statements to make and I'm wondering if you are really as cold hearted as that. There are quite a few Hispanic FReepers who would take exception to your comments. My new daughter-in-law and her military veteran Hispanic (from Spain) father and grandfather would likely kick your butt for making those comments.
There are some hispanics, like the bozo who ran a red light and totalled my son's car, for whom I wouldn't give you a plug nickle. But this is the kind of thing you experience on an individual basis...you don't apply your dislike of individuals to an entire ethnicity, and you don't disparage FReepers who face these life and death situations on a regular basis. That's not what we're about.
I would NOT help in ANY way. I said it again.
pick them up and send them back to mexico
I listened to it on ABP website, it was the most laughable and classic example of government new speak, tail chasing, zero action non-policy sellout I have EVER had the nauseating experience to have suffered through. IF the interviewer had asked Hutchinson if the sun would rise in the east, Hutchen would have begun to drone on about
"implementing joint policy and continuing to hold the high standards of safety within multi-juristional layers of responsibility to insure the effective enforcement of interior enforcement activities that can't be seen by visible means but involve fugitive operations enforcement efforts that are important rolls to play but he can't confirm any statistics being cited or reviewed in regards to economic migrates but by golly they enforce the immigration policy of this country and we can expect to see multi-agencie enforcement activity by visible means really really soon!"
It is a shame the guy can't enforce the immigration LAWS of this country . . . . .
In the meantime I suggest working a little overtime and spending it at the local G-Show.
Thank you for your post. And you're right, it is a shame. The money flow must go on.
While I am pretty much in agreement with you, I disagree with using the word "hispanic" to describe this particular "culture". To me, the word "hispanic" is a generic buzzword that the government uses as some catch-all description of anyone from a Spanish speaking country.
The illegals from Mexico that I live around could best be described as Mexico's version of a Jerry Springer guest. I prefer to refer to them as white trash of color.
I just wish there was some way to stop them and make the apologists see that by accomodating them they are making the situation worse. Allowing them to break many laws, regardless of their intentions, creates a sense of entitlement that is getting harder and harder to break. Also, allowing someone to be a criminal does not engender self-respect and it certainly doesn't make me look at them in a respectful light.

Falling Creek Camp lands on the pages of Time magazine
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 at 10:39 p.m.
Yates Pharr was surprised and flattered when he learned his summer boys camp was going to be featured in Time magazine.
At a glance
n More information can be found at www.fallingcreek.com.
To read the Time magazine article, go to: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1647452,00.
Falling Creek Camp was featured in the Aug. 6 edition of Time in an article about boys growing up in today's society.
"Once we found out the intent of the article, it was great to be part of the good news," Pharr said. "We were happy that Time magazine found us."
In the article "The Boys Are All Right," Time writer David Von Drehle investigates whether recent reports that boys are lagging behind their female counterparts in achievement and self-confidence are true or myths.
The story covers nine magazine pages and features a dozen photos of the camp and campers.
Pharr said Time could have picked any of the camps in Western North Carolina and he is honored his was chosen.
"It was very refreshing too that the reporter wanted to stay here at the camp for research so he could get the feel of the camp," Pharr said.
Since the magazine hit the stands, Pharr said he has been excited for the boys and staff that were included in the prominent magazine.
"We are a traditional summer camp for boys," Pharr said. "We provide a camp and space (more than 400 acres) that gives the boys the ability to grow physically, spiritually and socially."
Falling Creek Camp was founded in 1969 by Jim Miller as an independent Christian camp for boys and the brother camp of Camp Greystone also in Tuxedo, according to Falling Creek Camp's Web site.
In the fall of 1989, Falling Creek was purchased by Chuck and Jean McGrady and co-director Donnie Bain successfully operated the camp for 16 years.
In 2005, Pharr, a 12-year Falling Creek camper and counselor, and his wife Marisa purchased the camp.
Chuck McGrady, also a member of the Henderson County Board of Commissioners, remains active at camp as Director Emeritus.
Pharr said Falling Creek Camp is surrounded by hundreds of acres of privately owned lush forest and beautiful wilderness.
We embrace traditional Christian values, Falling Creek welcomes all campers and strives to nurture spiritual growth in a relaxed setting, Pharr said. We encourage development in these areas by providing sound leadership and a variety of enriching experiences. We believe boys need a place where they can just be boys; to play and explore away from modern technology. Campers range in age from 6 to 16.

Solid & Striped Swimwear strives for elegant simplicity: swimsuits and trunks that are sleek, preppy solutions to the problem of what to wear to the beach this summer. Solid & Striped was founded in 2012 by Isaac Ross, whose fruitless hunt for timeless, understated swim trunks led to the invention of his brand, following the realization that it was almost impossible to find the type of classic men's swimwear he desired. So he designed trunks like The Classic and The Junior, streamlined solutions to a swimwear problem. A collaboration with Morgan Curtis led to a women's swimwear collection in 2013; it's just as classically-inclined as the men's set, with bikinis and swimsuits that will be as stylish in 2033 as they are today.

Jack Osbourne Refuses to Blame Hollywood for Drink and Drug Problems
Ozzy Osbourne's once-wayward son Jack Osbourne refuses to blame the Hollywood party scene for his own battles with drink and drugs, insisting he found it harder to stay sober in the U.K. The wild Tinseltown lifestyle has been held responsible for the drink and drug demons of a string of stars including Osbourne, his sister Kelly Osbourne and Lindsay Lohan - all of whom have undergone rehab to kick addictions.
But the rock heir and reality TV star insists there's a bigger drinking problem in his native Britain. Osbourne says, "I actually think it's harder to avoid drinking in England. There's such a drinking culture, it's like, 'Oh it's lunchtime, let's go to the pub.' It's not like that in America."
After a stint in rehab in California for addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs, the 24 year old has been sober for seven years. He adds, "I've never had a plan, I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing and hopefully not drink. I don't ever want to come back to rehab again."

Reconstructionist Confucianism: Rethinking Morality after the West / Edition 1by Ruiping Fan
Pub. Date: 12/23/2009
Publisher: Springer Netherlands

Contrasting with conventional Neo-Confucian attempts to recast the Confucian heritage in light of modern Western values, this book offers a Reconstructionist Confucian project to reclaim Confucian resources to meet contemporary moral and public policy challenges. Ruiping Fan argues that popular accounts of human goods and social justice within the dominant individualist culture of the West are too insubstantial to direct a life of virtue and a proper structure of society. Instead, he demonstrates that the moral insights of Confucian thought are precisely those needed to fill the moral vacuum developing in post-communist China and to address similar problems in the West. The book has a depth of reflection on the Confucian tradition through a comparative philosophical strategy and a breadth of contemporary issues addressed unrivaled by any other work on these topics. It is the first in English to explore not only the endeavor to revive Confucianism in contemporary China, but also brings such an endeavor to bear upon the important ethical, social, and political difficulties being faced in 21st century China. The book should be of interest to any philosopher working in application of traditional Chinese philosophy to contemporary issues as well as any reader interested in comparative cultural and ethical studies.
FAN Ruiping's courageous book addresses the question of what should replace communism in China. He defends a Confucian morality that sharply contrasts with liberal individualism and draws implications for concrete issues like morality in business and health-care reform. The book is both provocative and plausible, and it is a must-read for anybody concerned about China's future. And perhaps it will inspire liberals to question their own commitments.-Daniel A. Bell, Tsinghua University This is an important volume in contemporary philosophical thought, deeply and creatively rooted in Confucian scholarship. It is the only major attempt in English to capture Confucian thought that does not distort that thought through background Western philosophical assumptions and commitments. Fan's work will have an enduring impact. In a world in which no one can ignore contemporary Chinese thought, this volume is essential reading.-Nicholas Capaldi, Loyola University New Orleans

Ah well. Thanks Hadel for the good wishes. Today (March 19th, St. Joseph in the WR) is a holiday in my father's home country. It is certainly interesting how St. Joseph acquired such a following and devotion in the West.

The MP for Finchley and Golders Green has lent his support to The Times Series' Give us Some Juice campaign.
Mike Freer MP said: "I'm delighted to lend my support to the juice bar and I wish them great success in their fundraising."
Money has been rolling in since we launched the campaign to help Barnet Mencap's Drink it Juice Bar raise £5,000 to avoid closure at the end of the year.
The bar at Finchley Youth Theatre in High Road, East Finchley, is run by people with learning disabilities who learn how to make and sell healthy shakes, as well as gain qualifications in customer services, health and safety and first aid.
Barnet Mencap received a corporate grant from Barnet Council to set up the juice bar last July, but the funding ran out in December.
Since then Barnet Mencap has been running the juice bar from the income it generates.
To make a donation to the Give us Some Juice campaign go to www.justgiving.com/drinkitjuicebar
If anyone has any fundraising ideas please email Natalie O'Neill email@example.com

Display caption
This formal group portrait is a record of the dynastic union, through marriage, of the financially powerful Du Cane and Boehm families, both of Huguenot (exiled French Protestant) descent. Standing at the centre is Richard Du Cane, flanked by his family, including the couple whose marriage in 1735 united the two families: his daughter Jane and Charles Boehm. The portrait is among Hamilton's most ambitious compositions and shows why contemporaries regarded him as a serious rival to William Hogarth.

Re: US Bank Corporate Card
They can't "make" you get one, but they can let you go (unless you have a contract that states otherwise) for failure to adhere to company policies. (or just because they don't like the colour of the socks you wear.)
Another thing to keep in mind, is that this company probably has many employees who have gotten the card, AND bought a house afterwards. They may wonder if you're trying to hide something.

Franco-American Collection
The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a $10,477 Common Heritage Grant to the Franco-American Collection, located at USM's Lewiston-Auburn College. The focus of the grant will be a one-day digitization event targeted at preserving cultural heritage materials related to military experiences - at war and on the home front - of members of Maine's Franco-American population, the state's largest ethnic group. The grant will also support a speaker series addressing the history of Franco-American military service. The theme of military service will help the public explore questions of identity and loyalty, which attended Maine's Franco-American population from its early days.
Janet Roberts is the new Coordinator for the Franco-American Collection at USM's Lewiston-Auburn College.
Listen to the interview online, as well as interviews with the US organizers of the World Acadian Congress and mezzo soprano Mélanie Saucier of Fort Kent.
The Collection's catalog is online! It is now possible to search the Collection at the item level for the first time. Visitors to the site, powered by the Past Perfect museum software, can choose to browse items in the Collection, bring up random records, or research the Collection's holdings through powerful search tools. Over 1500 records were added to the catalog for its initial launch, and more are being added on a regular basis. This is just a fraction of the many thousands of items in the Collection, but it allows researchers to access the Collection's holdings in unprecedented detail.
The Semaine de la Francophonie ("Week of the Francophone Community") is an annual celebration of French-speaking cultures around the world. March 20th is the international day of the Francophonie.
The Collection's 2014 Spring lecture series, coordinated with USM faculty, links the Franco-American past and present. Events in the series examine Franco-American politics, labor history, and gender roles, as well as Franco-Somali relations in the 21st century. The series is made possible by the University of Maine System's Diversity Committee.
The Pejepscot Historical Society, based in Brunwick, has announced two speaker series for winter/spring 2014: an evening lecture series on the theme of the French-Canadians who immigrated to the Brunswick area and elsewhere in Maine in the nineteenth century and a noontime "brown bag" series on a variety of local history topics.
Collection Coordinator James Myall will be offering HUM 460 at the University of Southern Maine. The course is designed to allow distance learners across New England to participate by examining Franco-Americans in their local environment.
The Franco-American Collection will be hosting three authors at USM LAC as part of a winter book discussion series. Each session will include readings by the authors, discussion of their creative process, and time for questions from the audience.
The Collection is collaborating with Museum L/A on concurrent exhibits honoring the area's veterans.
July Hours
The Collection will be open the first three weeks of July on Tues., Wed., and Thurs. from 10 until 4. It will be closed for vacation the last week of July. The Collection will re-open on August 1 with its regular Mon.-Thurs. schedule.
Call 207-753-6545 or email email@example.com if you wish to arrange some other time to visit.

Good luck
So what has happened is that any lender that allows scores under 640 has very specific guidelines on what type of customer they will approve in that range. One thing that is a must is that the applicant have an acceptable and verifiable rent history for the past 1-2 years. And the rent they have been paying needs to be comparable to the proposed mortgage payment for the house they would like to purchase.
Applicants in that range also will probably have to put 5% down instead of the FHA minimum of 3.5%, and I have seen most lenders that allow those scores not allow gifts.
So if you are a homebuyer want to be it is imperative that you figure out what you need to do to plan for the home purchase. It may take a year or two but definitely worth the end result.
Good Luck!

Can you pull it up to 620? The difference in the 2 may be better rate or less paperwork and hassle.
Some other things to know: always use a Realtor. It doesn't cost you anything and can save you thousands of dollars and tons of time.
Always get an inspection (about $350). I don't care if it's brand new. I had a client refuse one on an old house and he didn't have an a/c unit when he moved in. It cost him $2500.
Termite inspection is usually paid by the seller, but not always. Most all lenders require it be done prior to closing.
A Survey (about $300 to $400) tells you where the property lines are. Ask the seller to provide you one. The lender doesn't always require one. My neighbor had to take down her $4000 fence because she had it built on someone else's property.
Buy closer to the end of the year. Doing so means the difference in paying 6 months of property taxes now or 2 months in December.
Slower months in sales occur after school is in session so you have more negotiation power.
Good hunting!
Seriously, the ball is in your court. Lenders are reaching out to help. Now you have to take the next step and actually contact one on them.
Good luck!

After years without a new Chris Carter series, fans of the X-Files creator can look forward to not one, but two in the near future.
In addition to the upcoming Amazon series The After, Carter is also working with Walking Dead producer Gale Anne Hurd to adapt Annie Jacobson's Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base. Shortened to the more manageable Area 51, the project takes a modern look at the famous military base associated with extraterrestrials. While Hurd was first attached in 2011, AMC is finally moving forward with the project.
That news was among a flurry of programming announcements that included the addition of Sons of Anarchy veteran Dave Erickson as a co-writer and executive producer of the cable channel's Walking Dead spinoff, the renewal of Kevin Smith's Comic Book Men, a series order for a TV version of his podcast Hollywood Babble-On with co-host Ralph Garman, and the development of a collecting-based docuseries featuring CBM regular guest star Rob Bruce.
AMC will also move forward with the adaptation of Mary Doria Russell's Jesuits-meet-aliens sci-fi novel The Sparrow and an untitled reality series in which Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan takes the reins of indie wrestling outfit Resistance Pro.

The Czech right-wing Civic Democrats (ODS) party on Wednesday proposed parliament speaker Miroslava Nemcova for the post of prime minister following the resignation of Petr Necas amid a graft scandal.
If approved by coalition partners, President Milos Zeman and the parliament, Nemcova, 60, will become the first woman heading the Czech government in history.
"The ODS considers Miroslava Nemcova an experienced politician with a relevant moral and political credit... a person who is able to represent our country abroad," acting ODS chairman Martin Kuba told reporters.
"I have been through four parliamentary elections in 15 years and I have won support from both ODS members who nominated me and from voters," added Nemcova.
Zeman said he would hold talks with party leaders on the new prime minister from Friday to Monday and comment on the choice only after the talks.
But he added on Wednesday that "the president is here to name a new prime minister fast."
Necas, heading the faltering coalition government since July 2010, stepped down on Sunday over a bribery and spying scandal involving his top aide and alleged lover.
His ODS has said it will choose a candidate to lead a government built around the current three-party coalition also comprising the right-wing TOP 09 and centrist LIDEM parties until the next regular elections in May 2014.
Miroslav Kalousek, outgoing finance minister and vice-chairman of the TOP 09 party, said Nemcova was "an excellent personal nomination."
"I will be honoured to sit in the government with her," he said, adding however Nemcova would be hard to replace as head of parliament.
Josef Mlejnek, a political analyst at Charles University in Prague, told AFP Nemcova would be "rather something like an interim prime minister heading a sort of a caretaker government... as her position within her party is not too strong."
The graft scandal that toppled Necas erupted last Thursday when 400 policemen raided the cabinet office, defence ministry, private villas and a bank in a dramatic swoop that turned up large stashes of illicit cash and gold.
Jana Nagyova, Necas's chief of staff and alleged lover, was arrested during the raid and charged with bribery and complicity in the abuse of power.
Seven other senior figures including military intelligence heads and former lawmakers were also charged with corruption and abuse of power.
Dubbed "Mr. Clean" for his high-profile anti-corruption drive, Necas was forced to resign on Monday.
If the ODS candidate is not approved, the country would likely face early elections which the left-wing Social Democrats would win according to opinion polls, sweeping the ODS and their allies out of power.
An EU member of 10.5 million people, the Czech Republic has been plagued by corruption since it emerged as an independent state after its 1993 split with Slovakia -- a legacy of four decades of totalitarian communist rule.
Last year, corruption watchdog Transparency International ranked the Czech Republic worse than Costa Rica and Rwanda.

Partially Overlapping Limited Anterior and Posterior Instrumentation for Adult Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Scoliosis: A Description of Novel Spinal Instrumentation, "The Hybrid Technique"

Progressive and/or painful adult spinal deformity in the thoracolumbar and lumbar spine is sometimes treated surgically by long posterior fusions from the thoracic spine down to the pelvis, especially where there is a major thoracic curve component. Recent advances in anterior spinal instrumentation and spinal surgery technique have demonstrated the improved corrective ability offered by anterior stabilization systems, and the added benefit of limiting the number of vertebral fusion levels required for control of the deformity. The "hybrid technique" is a novel use of anterior instrumentation that applies limited anterior instrumentation down to the low lumbar spine (rods and screws), and partially overlapping short-segment posterior instrumentation to the sacrum (pedicle screws and rods). These constructs avoid posterior thoracic instrumentation and fusions, and avoid extension of posterior instrumentation to the pelvis. In the first 10 patients treated using this technique, thoracolumbar and lumbar major curve correction has averaged 71 and 82% in the immediate postoperative period (n = 7), respectively, and 59 and 68% at 2-year follow-up, respectively. The technique is an appealing and attractive alternative for treatment of thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis in the adult population, and avoids the requirement for applying spinal fixation to the thoracic spine and the pelvis.

Hi, I just got wordpress running on my mac with MAMP. But I seem to miss some functionality: the 'screen options' and 'help' are not responding, if I press the 'select file' button to add media nothing happens, and widget area's are not expanding, nor are the widgets draggable.
On my live site things work fine, but I have the feeling I'm missing some js or other functionality here. Searched the forums, but no luck. Anyone any ideas? My wp installation is fresh and empty without plugins or posts.

In a careful study published last week, Socioeconomic position and the risk of brain tumour: a Swedish national population-based cohort study, the authors examined the association between the socio-economic status of men and women in Sweden with diagnosis of brain tumours over 18 years. One of the main findings is shown below.
I've had a lot of publicity over the last few days, but none of it was welcome. It arose from the story below from the Daily Telegraph of June 6 with the headline "Britons are having less sex, and Game of Thrones could be to blame, says Cambridge professor"
Remember all those autism stories over the last few weeks? You don't? There's a reason for that.
Yesterday the Chief Medical Officer announced new guidelines for alcohol consumption. The Summary says,
The proposed guidelines and the expert group report that underpins them, have been developed on the basis of the following principles:
On Thursday November 19th the printed version of the Guardian had the headline "Experts dispute Hunt's claim on weekend hospital treatment" [online version here]. But it was not only Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt who gave a misleading statement – the Guardian also made a serious error about statistics.
The way that risks are 'framed' can make a big impression on their apparent magnitude. The controversy following the recent report by NICE on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provides a fine example.
Surgeons are increasingly subject to statistical monitoring, and named results may be made publicly available. But consider a surgeon in a low-risk specialty who has had a successful and blameless career, until a combination of circumstances, possibly beyond their control, contribute to a single patient dying. They then find they are officially labeled as an 'outlier' and subject to formal investigation, all because of a purely statistical criterion. Is this fair?
I like doing live interviews for radio or TV – it's exciting and they can't edit what you say. The programme is almost inevitably running late, so last Saturday morning when I did an interview for Radio 4's Today I remembered my media training and had prepared carefully to get my points over before they cut me off.
There has been much wailing and gnashing of blogs since the dismal performance of the pre-election polls last week. These had confidently and consistently predicted a rough tie in vote-share between Labour and Conservative, but when the votes were counted the Conservatives had a 6.5% lead.
Today the Daily Telegraph featured the powerful headline "Just three alcoholic drinks a day can cause liver cancer, warns new study" , based on a press release from the World Cancer Research Fund headed "Three alcoholic drinks a day can cause liver cancer, new research finds".

Though we know Vladimir Nabokov as a brilliant novelist, his first love was poetry. This landmark collection brings together the best of his verse, including many pieces that have never before appeared in English.
These poems span the whole of Nabokov's career, from the newly discovered "Music," written in 1914, to the short, playful "To VEra," composed in 1974. Many are newly translated by Dmitri Nabokov, including "The University Poem," a sparkling novel in verse modeled on Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin "that constitutes a significant new addition to Nabokov's oeuvre. Included too are such poems as "Lilith," an early work which broaches the taboo theme revisited nearly forty years later in "Lolita," and "An Evening of Russian Poetry," a masterpiece in which Nabokov movingly mourns his lost language in the guise of a versified lecture on Russian delivered to college girls. The subjects range from the Russian Revolution to the American refrigerator, taking in on the way motel rooms, butterflies, ice-skating, love, desire, exile, loneliness, language, and poetry itself; and the poet whirls swiftly between the brilliantly painted facets of his genius, wearing masks that are, by turns, tender, demonic, sincere, self-parodying, shamanic, visionary, and ingeniously domestic.
About the Author
One of the twentieth century s master prose stylists, Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg in 1899. He studied French and Russian literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, then lived in Berlin and Paris, where he launched a brilliant literary career. In 1940 he moved to the United States, and achieved renown as a novelist, poet, critic and translator. He taught literature at Wellesley, Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard. In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977.
Nabokov is an opera singer.

i look for solution to get the unique values of an attribute of a vector layer. what is the best way in python qgis to get the unique values of one distinct attribute? I work with qgis 1.8.0.
Python's sets are handy for finding unique values. For example:
Try something like this (pyqgis 1.8):
Pyqgis 2.0:
QGIS provides a simple API to get this information. You need to get the index of the field in question and then query the layer for unique values.
