3.2 Irving's activities for the DVU, 1981 - 1987
3.2.1.After the SRP was banned in 1952, RWE had fallen into disarray until in the early 1960s a new collective organisation, the NPD, was formed. The NPD had appointed a moderate leader, Friedrich Thielen, so as to appeal more to national conservatives, although the cadre itself was in fact far more right-wing. Subsequently in state elections they made relative gains (in the mid 1960s up to 9.8 % of the votes). However in 1969 they failed to take any seats in the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament. After this defeat the NPD faltered despite a change of leadership.30
3.2.2.As a result of the NPD's defeat in 1969 the DVU was formed in 1971, with the aim of gathering together the splinter group's alienated from the NPD and in anattempt to galvinize a fragmented RWE. The DVU thus constituted a collecting tank for the remnants of the NPD, particularly the so-called 'ewig Gestrigen', the national conservatives and old Nazis who partially or fully still identified with the ideals, ideas, and even practices of NS. Thus this organization led by Dr. Gerhard Frey had within it far right-wingers, and since the 1980s has been considered to constitute the hardcore of old RWE in Germany
3.2.3.The DVU's effectiveness lay in organizing their members through subscription to Frey's newspapers, especially the German National Newspaper [Die Deutsche Nationalzeitung - DNZ] which by 1980 had 10,000 subscribers. Another effective organizational instrument was their annual rally, normally in Passau.
3.2.4.In 1986 the DVU and NPD formulated a common election strategy and put forth a joint list for the Bavarian state election and the federal election in 1987. It then became known as the DVU - Liste D [List Germany]. The OPC described this list as having an anti-constitutional goal because the organizations concerned and Dr. Gerhard Frey's magazines were considered RWE. According to the office, Frey, through his publications, incited anti-Semitism and hatred against foreigners, distorted historical truths about NS, glorified the leading persons of the NS-system, and defamed the present day representatives of democratic parties. In their opinion the party merely paid lip service to its declared belief in democracy and in the constitutional and free democratic basis of the Federal German ['freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung'] for tactical reasons. 31
3.2.5.This should be matched against Irving's statement that the DVU is a long standing democratic party. Neither the OPC nor academic social-science research would accept this opinion. The DVU as well Dr. Gerhard Frey's DNZ has for decades been declared RWE (or radical right wing) by the OPC. 32 As early as 1971 the OPC stated in a report that Dr. Gerhard Frey's DNZ had maintained a leading position in radical right-wing journalism. For example the 1985 VSB of Lower Saxony outlined the party platform and its profile as 'Hatred against foreigners, anti-Semitism, playing down of the national socialist terror regime and disparagement of democratic institutions and persons.'33
3.2.6.The contents of the DNZ can be described as a 'secondary anti-Semitism', designed to address the 'ewig Gestrigen' mind-set.34 For instance Jewish representatives are held responsible not only for the widespread stories about alleged atrocities committed against the Jews, but also for the fact that the Germans have to continually pay a financial, moral, and political price for the Holocaust.35 This variant of anti-Semitism is often fused with the 'old' one.
3.2.7.So-called revisionism was also identified by the OPC as playing a strategic part in DVU propaganda. Long before the debate on the 'Auschwitz-lie' was intensified by the Leuchter Report, Frey tactically relativised or even denied major NS crimes. As early as 1977 the radical revisionist Arthur Butz, who denied the existence of gas chambers in his denialist classic 'The hoax of the 20th Century' was presented with the DNZ honorary award for political victims of persecution.36 The book was also serialized in the DNZ in the same year. In 1979 the book was officially labelled as one that invoked racial hatred and played down the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
3.2.8.Finally Frey partially co-operated with more militant and extremist fringes of the RWE scene, groups whom in public he criticises for tactical reasons, namely the NPD and even RWE terrorists. 37 For example Frey co-operated with the terrorists of the Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann, whom he used as body guards at DVU rallies in 1977. Roland Tabbert, who co-ordinated the DVU's 1987 election campaign, was later president of the anti-Semitic Anti-Zionist Action [Anti-Zionist Action - AZA] within the neo-Nazi movement. Members of the militant neo-Nazi Free German Workers' Party [Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiter Partei - FAP, banned in 1995] were present at the DVU annual meeting in Munich in 1986. Violent rightwing attacks against foreigners were also executed by DVU members.
3.2.9.Irving's 'soft' revisionist themes of the 1980s (Winston Churchill as a warmonger, 100,000 to 250,000 dead in Dresden, the debunking of the 'myth' of Erwin Rommel as a hero of the resistance against Hitler, the stylising of Rudolf Hess as a martyr for freedom etc.38 ) were all themes which exercised the German public mind, but in particular found a resonance in national-conservative and RWE circles. This corresponded with the DVU's political attempts to relativise the crimes of NS, particularly the question of Germany's war guilt and the Holocaust, and overlapped with the DVU's latent anti-Semitism. In short Irving was an important spokesman for the DVU to win over to their party.
3.2.10.Irving was first informed that he would be welcome to address DVU meetings in 1981, and by 1982 had managed to win Irving's services as a star speaker for the DVU.39 In that year Irving spoke for the DVU in 10 German cities on 'the unatoned Holocaust - the expulsion of the Germans' ['Der ungesühnte Holocaust - die Vertreibung der Deutschen'].40 On 9 May 1982 Irving received the DNZ's European Freedom Prize ['Europäischen Freiheitspreises der Deutschen National Zeitung'].41 By the end of 1982 the DVU had apparently paid Irving somewhere in the region of DM 100,000 for his speeches and 'services' ['Verdienste'].42 A model of blocks of 10 speeches, initially at a fee of DM 2,000 per speech, later reduced to DM 1,500, was to continue until 1987.43
3.2.11.Irving later wrote that he 'always spoke as an historian, never as a politician' to the DVU.44 Although in the strictest sense Irving spoke on 'historical' topics, the very platform he spoke on (DVU meetings and rallies) gave them an explicitly political character. Added to this is the convolution between the attractions of Irving and his topics to old RWEs and that these same people constituted the bedrock of DVU support. The topics Irving was requested to talk on were both historically and politically tendentious, in the sense stated by the OPC when they talked of the DVU's playing down of the crimes of National Socialism.
3.2.12.For instance Frey wrote to Irving on 23 July 1983, giving him precise instructions for his forthcoming lectures.
... we agreed during our phone-call yesterday, that you should tackle the topic of the guilt of aerial terror in your September lecture series. You might perhaps take the occasion in the various towns to briefly go into the corresponding attacks. Regarding the topic as a whole there is a general interest everywhere in who began when and where with aerial terror and in what way? Which related planning occurred from what reasons and under what conditions when and where? What aerial attacks were allowed for in international law and which break international law? How are the three main accusations against the Germans since then [World War II], namely Warsaw, Rotterdam and Coventry, to be judged? [...] Why were attacks preferred on working-class areas to attacks on exclusive residential districts? What was the German answer and how did it correspond to the bombardments of allied planes in terms of the number of bombs dropped, the intensity of detonation, the loss of housing and the death rate? How are the Allied bombardments of 1945 to be classified, for example Dresden, when the war had long been decided? How many deaths did the Allied attacks on concentration camps and ships with concentration camp prisoners cause? Perhaps the lecture should finish with an examination of the Nuremberg trial and Rudolf Hess. [...] Please leave Hitler and the Jews unmentioned.45
3.2.13.As well as orchestrating the contents of Irving's speeches, Frey carefully controlled their timing in order for the DVU to maximum political impact from them. In 1982 an American drama series entitled 'Holocaust' was to be repeated on German television. The first showing in 1979 had been watched by millions of Germans and despite the controversy surrounding it is considered as representing a mile-stone in German public consciousness about the Holocaust.46 With respect to Irving's forthcoming lectures Frey wrote to Irving,
I suggest the next series of lectures begin on Friday 12 November [1982] and end on Sunday 21 November (10 meetings) on the same conditions. A theme worth considering could be "Who bears responsibility for the unatoned holocaust of the expulsion?" [i.e. of the Germans from former Reich territories which fell to eastern Europe]. I hope we will formulate this more succinctly and impressively. In the enclosed copy you'll find the dates for the repeat of the Hollywood-Holocaust soap on "German" television. During these days you will speak, at a different time, about the expulsion holocaust and provide the true historical accompanying music to the horror slush. Please again leave Hitler and the Jews out completely.47
3.2.14.Irving's speaking tour of 1982 was indeed titled 'The unatoned Holocaust - the expulsion of the Germans' ['Der ungesühnte Holocaust - die Vertreibung der Deutschen'] and was a political attempt to counter-act the TV-series 'Holocaust'.48
3.2.15.Irving's DVU sponsored speaking-tours coincided with carefully contrived publicity-campaigns in the DNZ. His latest speeches and books were heralded and marketed by Frey's publishing concerns. Irving also played an important part in the DVU's veneration of former Nazi heroes. For instance on 9 January 1983 Irving delivered a memorial speech ['Gedenkrede'] on the death of Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel.49
3.2.16.As of 1987 Frey also invited Irving to contribute articles to the DNZ although Irving had long fed Frey with documents he felt might interest him, the DVU, or the readers of the DNZ.50 For instance in 1984 Irving offered Frey and the National News [National Zeitung] photos taken in the immediate aftermath of the ' "freeing"' [' "Befreiung"' - Irving's quotation marks] of Dachau concentration camp, purporting to show executed camp guards. If the photos were to be used Irving hoped he would receive his usual commission ['Verwendungsgebühr'].51 In 1984 Irving was asked by Frey if he had anything 'exonerating' ['Entlastendes'] in the case of the notorious Klaus Barbie, and if so to send it to Barbie's daughter.52
3.2.17.In 1984 Irving was requested on Frey's behalf to investigate certain names in the Berlin Document Centre for their backgrounds and activities during the Third Reich. He was offered DM 2,000 for the work plus costs and was to pass the documents on to the DVU.53 The list of over 100 names included many prominent left-wing and liberal personalities in Germany such as Rudolf Augstein, Joseph Beuys, Heinrich Böll, Marion Gräfin von Dönhoff, Günter Grass, Eugen Kogon, Erich Kuby and Harry Ristock.54 Frey wrote to Irving that the DVU themselves were not in a position to do the work because the 'incriminated person' ['Belastete'] would have to be mad ['verrückt'] to allow them access to their files.55 Irving duly wrote to the Berlin Document Centre claiming that he was researching the names as part of his work on Reich Marshall Hermann Göring.56 The Director Daniel P. Simon politely told Irving that '...you should know that Mr. Frey, who is not authorized to receive information from our files, has on several occasions in the past tried to obtain information from the BDC.'57
3.2.18.In his reply Irving made clear that his activities for Frey and the DVU were political.
It is true that I am familiar with Dr Gerhard Frey. He is a strange character, his own enemy sometimes, but one of the few people on the Right putting his money where his mouth is in the fight against the Far Left. That is why I place my oratory at his disposal. It helps to keep the Right Wing in the fringe, I hope.58
3.2.19.It would seem that the list was declined by the Berlin Document Centre, but alone Irving's attempt to undertake such work for Frey speaks for the political nature of Irving's relations to the DVU.59
3.2.20.The case became public in 1988 surrounding a scandal about documents being purloined from the Centre. In the course of the discussion Irving himself admitted the details of his political work for the DVU in 1984.60 In 1989 Irving tried to re-approach the Centre for research materials, and was reminded of his statements to the media and informed that passing materials on to 'someone whom you knew had been refused access to the BDC...with the prospect of receiving money' constituted 'a grave misuse of the privilege of access to the BDC.'61 As he recorded in his dairy 5 July 1989: '...writing long letters..., and to the Berlin Document Centre, apologizing for my 1984 lapse (Dr Frey asked me to "research" there for him). I don't think it will work.'62
3.2.20. More importantly perhaps, and interestingly for Irving's later fortunes in Germany, Irving consistently acted as a pawn in the DVU's strategy of using 'the court-room as political forum' ['Der Gerichtssaal als Forum der Politik'].63 Until 1988 there seems to have been little danger that Irving would in any way damage the DVU by questioning the reality of Holocaust as such. Nevertheless Frey made it repeatedly clear to Irving that he was on no account to even talk about Hitler or the Jews, particularly for benefit of the DVU's media image.64 This included Irving's pet thesis at the time that Hitler had not ordered or even known of the Holocaust.65
3.2.21.It is clear that the strategy related to the limits the law in Germany sets on denialist statements, and the DVU's good democratic image. On 29 April 1983, Frey wrote to Irving that
...during the forthcoming lecture series I ask you strictly to observe that we should give even the malicious no chance whatsoever to unpunishably accuse us of any glorification of Hitler or the NS era, let alone justification of the persecution of the Jews.... On no account do we want the vanished NS, the dead Hitler, and as always leave out everything which directly or indirectly touches on the Jews.66
3.2.21. In discussing his forthcoming lecture series on the Nuremberg trial Frey wrote to Irving in 1985.
At the same time I am presuming that you will steer completely clear of Hitler and the Jews, because both topics could only be our ruin. Even if you say something absolutely accurate about the two topics it will be turned around, misinterpreted, and in the end must even serve for bans and other prosecutions. The more objective your presentation, the more unassailable.67
3.2.22.The DVU's strategy was thus a tactical and preventative one, strictly avoiding all possible excuses for incurring adverse publicity or the unwelcome attentions of the authorities. From 1981 to 1987 Irving, who at the time can be considered a 'soft' revisionist, would seem to have no trouble conforming to Frey's requests. If such publicity nevertheless surfaced then the DVU's practiced legal machinery was brought to bear. In the mid 1980s the DVU and Irving mounted a number of successful legal attacks, serving injunctions on newspapers and organisations who suggested that Irving in any way denied the Holocaust or was a supporter of the so-called '6 million lie'.
3.2.23.Although Irving himself had had connections with German right-wing radical organizations since the 1970s, he was only mentioned for the first time in the OPC's 1982 report.
The British writer David Irving (44),who spoke in 5 series of lectures in numerous German cities was the most frequent speaker at DVU rallies including on the "Nuremberg Trials - Justice or Arbitrary Law", the "Truth about the Morgenthau Plan" or "The Guilt of the Holocaust of Aerial Terror".68
3.2.24.The Schleswig-Holstein VSB noted his speeches in 1982 and commented that as a speaker for the DVU Irving was keeping company with the old Nazis like Otto-Ernst Remer and Hans-Ulrich Rudel.69 The 1982 Baden-Württemberg VSB stressed that Irving had been a speaker at DVU meetings 'for quite some time'.70
3.2.24. In 1983, Irving's speech at the Munich rally honouring the RWE and former Wehrmacht Colonel, Hans-Ulrich Rudel was noted.71 He was identified as one of the DVU's 'principal speakers' apart from Frey himself.72
3.2.25.In 1984 Irving's speech to the DVU rally on 10 March 1984 was noted, when Irving spoke on 'Freedom for Rudolf Hess'. He had stated that Hess was lured to Great Britain and tortured there.73 His June 1984 tour was likewise noted. He spoke at the annual DVU rally in Passau on the 4 August 1984 about 'The martyrdom (ordeal) of Rudolf Hess and its true background' and was also noted as accusing Winston Churchill of having executed an underhand warmongering policy.74
3.2.261985 was the first year in which some of the VSBs described Irving as a 'right-wing extremist publicist'75 or as a 'right-wing extremist historian'.76 Irving was noted as having spoken at several DVU rallies.77 These lectures dealt with Rudolf Hess, the question of war guilt, the Nuremberg Trial, and the Nazi leadership.78 He lectured several times in southern Germany on the topic 'The 8th of May: Should the Germans pay forever?' Importantly the OPC noted that Irving 'questioned the extent of the extermination of the Jews.'79
3.2.27.In June 1985 he was given the 'Hans-Ulrich-Rudel-Award', donated by Gerhard Frey.80 The award was officially presented to Irving for his servicower Saxony noted that 'Irving in his speeches and writings plays down the unjust system of the Third Reich. He supports the opinion that Hitler neither ordered the extermination of the Jews nor did he know anything about it. Irving tries hard to improve the reputations of former leading Nazi politicians.'81 In November 1985 he again lectured several times in Bavaria on the Nuremberg Trial. 'He proclaimed the Nuremberg War Tribunal to be a sham in which evidence was falsified and manipulated, testimonies bought and confessions acquired through torture.'82
3.2.28.On the 19 January 1986 Irving spoke at a DVU rally honouring the former fighter pilot Colonel Walter Dahl. Irving described the deceased as the 'perfect German soldier'.83 He participated in additional DVU meetings dealing with the issues of Rudolf Hess and the 'depriving of the German people of its rights'.84
3.2.29.In 1987 Irving remained a frequent DVU speaker.85 He spoke at the annual DVU rally in Passau in August 1987 on 'The secrecy of the martyrdom of Rudolf Hess'.86
3.2.30.Thus in the 1980s Irving was a leading speaker in what is described as the tradition of 'old' RWE represented by the DVU. This old RWE line of thought included playing down the crimes of the NS period, questioning the extent of the extermination of the Jews, questioning German war guilt, denouncing the Nuremberg Trial as a sham, praising military and political personnel who actively identified with the Nazi system (like Dahl, Rudel, or Hess), and an aggressive rhetoric against the Allies. Irving pandered to a barely disguised fascination with the 'heroes' of the Nazi regime amongst the adherents of old RWE, particularly with his praise for the alleged martyrdom of the deputy 'Führer' Rudolf Hess, and would imply a certain fascination his own part.87 Most importantly he himself had been labelled a right-wing extremist by the German constitutional authorities.

30. Martun Mußgnug became the party's leader after 1969. A decade later, with Gunter Deckert at the helm, the NPD had moved to a more aggresive and extreme position. Gunther Deckert was later to become a preferred contact for Irving(see below)

32. For a long time there was no clear definition of how radical is differentiated from right-wing extremism. Radical was often used to describe a person or asn organization as on the fringes of a democratic system, but not beyond. Since 1974 the OPC has defined right-wing extremism as it is stated above. Althought there are still debates on the definition of right-wing estremism, the majority of researchers refer to this concept.

Welche diesbezüglichen Planungen entstanden aus welchen Gründen und unter welchen Gegebenheiten wann und wo? Welche Luftangriffe sind völkerrechtlich zulässig, welche verstoßen gegen das Völkerrecht? Wie sind die drei Hauptvorwürfe gegen die deutsche Seitem nämlich Warschau, Rotterdam und Coventry zu bewerten?[...] Warum wurden Angriffe auf Arbeiterviertel solchen auf Villengegenden vorgezogen? Wie fiel die deutsche Antwort aus und in welchem Verhältnis stand sie auch im Hinblick auf die abgeworfenen Bombenzahl, Sprengwirkung, Wohnungsverluste und Totenziffer im Vergleich zu den Bombardierungen durch alliierte Flugzeuge? Wie sind die alliierten Bombenangriffe des Jahres 1945, etwa Dresden, einzustufen, als der Krieg längst entschieden war? Wievele Todesopfer hatten alliierte Angriffe auf Konzentrationslager und auf Schiffe mit KZ-Häftlingen mit sich gebracht?

Milpitas City Council voted 4-1 Jan. 15, with Councilwoman Carmen Montano dissenting, to approve 80 new single-family homes at 31 S. Milpitas Blvd., adjacent to Union Pacific Railroad lines and immediately west of Union and Wells Fargo banks.
The council's approval paves the way for developer Braddock & Logan of Danville to demolish vacant commercial buildings at the site and construct two-story homes on 11.3 acres with associated streets, sidewalks and trail improvement, and 360 parking spaces.
The project will also feature a 15,000-square-foot park with a tot lot and a bocce ball court. The property, off Topaz Street, is located within the city's Town Center District. Project homes will range from 2,300 to 2,700 square feet and be built in Mediterranean architectural styles with two-car garages, reports state.
Overall, a varied 6-foot to 8-foot masonry wall will surround the property line and act as a sound wall to reduce noise created by passing freight trains and the future Bay Area Rapid Transit line on the western edge of the property. In addition, a lit pedestrian trail, to be constructed on the Wrigley Creek levee, will be located beyond the wall and property line near the eastern side of the tracks. The trail is proposed to lead toward Beresford Square Shopping Center to the north of the housing project and cross under the Calaveras Overpass, reports state.
The new housing project will be included as part of a 50-acre swath of land south of Calaveras Boulevard to Los Coches Street that was rezoned to allow for future mixed-use redevelopment.
In 2010, the council voted unanimously to adopt a new land use designation and rezoning of properties from highway services, industrial park, manufacturing, warehousing and heavy industrial to mixed uses under the city's Town Center District.
Known as the Los Coches rezone project, the council's action allows for the flexibility in redeveloping about 26 property sites in the area to attract new tenants.
The site is located south of Calaveras Boulevard to Los Coches Street and bounded by Interstate 680 on the east and the railroad right-of-way to the west.
Last week, some like Councilwoman Debbie Giordano favored the latest project in the new mixed-use district.
"To me it just makes good planning sense," Giordano said.
But others like Montano said the new housing project's surrounding sound wall gave a negative impression and that future job opportunities for the parcel in question would leave the city.
"I just think it's too much like a fortress and I hope we preserve our light industrial sites," Montano said.
The developer disagreed.
"The goal is not to try to build a walled community," Andy Byde, a Braddock & Logan representative, said.
Byde added the project "mimics" housing built to the north of Beresford Square Shopping Center, which is also close to the railroad.
But residents such as Robert Marini believed the housing project would strain the Milpitas Unified School District, increase traffic and impact city services such as utilities. He further asserted police and fire personnel would also be hard pressed to help those who lived at this development.
"Because there's limited access to the property," Marini said.
Resident Rob Means said he worried about potential flooding issues due to future sea level rises affecting this low-lying property. He also noted the site would be too far about two miles away from the future Milpitas BART Station near Great Mall and could not be easily walked to by residents.
But the rest of the council like Mayor Jose Esteves said the project conformed to the new area and that it was upscale.
"It looks like something that will be needed in Milpitas," Esteves said, adding the 80 homes would not add significantly to the number of new students in the school district. "It's not a big scale kind of an effort. It's more of a plus than a minus as far as I'm concerned."
Prior to the vote to approve the project, Esteves asked the developer whether his company had made monetary contributions to council members in the past.
Byde replied his company had not contributed monies to the council.
Later, Esteves said he planned to bring forward a policy item for council review to require developers with new projects before the city to disclose whether they contributed to council members' election campaigns.

In neighbouring Kenya, partnering with the New Life Home Trust, the MCF pledges support to an orphanage in the coastal town of Lamu where children from 1 month to 3 years old, many of whom have lost either one or both parents to HIV/AIDS, or have simply been abandoned, can find safe refuge and the only semblance of family they have ever known.

12:32 p.m. Now that phone and Internet service has been restored in the Ruch area, investigators are working to track down the thieves responsible for the interruption, the Jackson County Sheriff's Department reported.
The sheriff's department said in a news release today that someone cut and removed 30 feet of copper-filled cable in the area of Highway 238 and Cady Road in the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 20. Estimated cost of the cable and repairs is $4,500.
Investigators ask anyone who saw anything suspicious or has information about the theft to call the Jackson County Sheriff's Department tip line at 541-774-8333. The investigation is ongoing.
9:55 a.m. CenturyLink telephone and high-speed Internet services in Ruch were restored early this morning after an outage believed to have been caused by copper cable thieves on Wednesday, the company reported.The company estimated about 500 customers in the Ruch area outside Jacksonville were affected.
The missing cable was taken from utility poles, a CenturyLink spokeswoman said.
The company asked anyone who sees people working on telephone wires without typical safety equipment such as orange vests and hard hats or without flaggers or company vehicles to call 911.
Oregon state law requires anyone transporting metal to have a certificate detailing where the metal was obtained or risk a fine of up to $1,250 or 30 days in jail.

The third time likely won't be the charm for a bill that would allow voters registered as independent to participate in Kentucky's primary elections.
14th District Sen. Jimmy Higdon, R-Lebanon, has filed the bill in Frankfort yet again. But he says, although support is growing, it likely won't be considered by the House.
"I filed it in the House two years ago and nothing happened," Higdon said. "I filed it in the Senate last year and we passed it, but it died in a House committee."

Photograph by Bert Hoferichter, All Canada Photos
By late September, the hardwood forests surrounding the Agawa Canyon light up with the crimson and gold of autumn. These identical glowing vistas were among wilderness scenes captured in the early 20th century by what would become known as the Group of Seven, the legendary school of Canadian artists whose landscape paintings helped foster appreciation for Canada's vast, untamed lands. Group member Lawren Harris even had a boxcar specially outfitted for fall painting expeditions along the Algoma Central Railway (ACR) line. Today, the landscapes remain remote—but not inaccessible. The artists' impressionistic canvas images can be viewed for real from the comfort of one of North America's most popular train rides.
When to Go: The canyon is open year-round. However, fall is the best time to revisit the sites that inspired the Group of Seven. Leaves usually change color late September through early October. Ice climbing the 575-foot-high granite canyon walls is a growing adventure sport—for experienced ice climbers only.
How to Get Around: The convenient, popular way to see the canyon is by the Agawa Canyon Tour Train. Departing daily from the city of Sault Ste. Marie, the train travels 114 miles into Ontario wilderness. It features large viewing windows, GPS-triggered tour narration, and various dining options. It stops for 90 minutes in Canyon Park, allowing passengers to explore several easy walking trails, nearby waterfalls, and a 250-foot-high lookout 372 steps above the canyon. The train departs Sault Ste. Marie at 8 a.m. and returns around 6 p.m.
The full-service Agawa Canyon Snow Train showcases frozen waterfalls and snow-covered granite cliffs from the warmth of a boxcar. The more adventurous can either pack their own canoe on Algoma Central Railway's no-frills passenger line that runs three times a week all year or book a guided, weekend canoe trip.
"That's the same way the Group of Seven would have gone up to paint the fall colors," says freelance writer and adventure guide Conor Mihell. "It's [Class 2] white water that you can navigate in a canoe—not over-the-top but still challenging enough that you can have fun."
Where to Stay: Book packages with your train journey—including Algoma Country fishing and wilderness lodges like the secluded Errington's Wilderness Island Resort (on a lake island in Chapleau Wildlife Game Preserve) and Loch Island Lodge (with simple cabins and packages that include breakfast and dinner rounded out with homemade bread and desserts). From Sault Ste. Marie, it's a scenic, 30-minute drive north to Bellevue Valley Lodge, which features two bed-and-breakfast suites in the main lodge, a separate chalet that sleeps up to 15, and a traditional sauna. Lodge trails access 2,000 acres of forest hiking, biking, and snowshoeing.
What to Eat or Drink: On the tour train, dining runs throughout the day, serving hot and cold lunches, picnic boxes, tea, and cocktails. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis except for breakfast, based on coach number. A canteen also operates in Canyon Park.
What to Buy: A souvenir car, open upon arrival in Canyon Park until a half-hour before departure, sells train memorabilia and Canadiana, such as Ontario-made maple leaf pins and jewelry, collectible spoons, and assorted Agawa Canyon T-shirts and sweatshirts.
What to Read Before You Go: Award-winning Northern Light: The Enduring Mystery of Tom Thomson and the Woman Who Loved Himby Roy MacGregor (Vintage Canada, 2011) examines the life, love, and mysterious death of one of the Group of Seven's most famous artists. To see the works of Thomson and his fellow painters, The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson (Firefly Books, 2011) includes 400 of their paintings and drawings with background essays.
Helpful Links: Agawa Canyon Tour Train, Sault Ste. Marie Tourism
Fun Fact: For $1,999 per couple, track the Group of Seven's sites on a four-night, backcountry canyon stay in the Canyon View Camp Car. The retrofitted Green Bay and Western caboose, equipped with galley kitchen, utensils, and linens, sleeps four and is parked on a track deep inside the Agawa Canyon wilderness park.

Houma tug company owner faces new charge
Published: Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 9:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
The president and owner of Houma-based Cenac Towing is charged with making false statements to the Federal Elections Commission in connection with illegal campaign contributions he made to Louisiana's two U.S. senators, authorities said.
Federal prosecutors in New Orleans charged Arlen "Benny" Cenac Jr., 57, of Houma, on Thursday.
Cenac gave cashier's checks that he purchased in the names of others to the campaigns of two Senate candidates between Feb. 16 and May 24 2008, court documents show. The contributions violated individual federal contribution limits of $2,300 for primaries and $4,600 for general election campaigns.
The bill of information, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court, does not name the candidates.
But Cenac and his tug and towboat company agreed to pay a $170,000 fine to the Federal Elections Commission in August for using corporate money to donate to the campaigns of U.S. Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and David Vitter, R-La.
According to the settlement, Cenac made $15,000 in contributions to Vitter's campaign in the names of others in February 2008, then $25,300 in contributions to Landrieu's campaign in the names of others in April 2008.
The initial complaint was filed by a watchdog group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which said the fine was the largest the FEC levied last year and the 34th largest in the agency's history.
If convicted of lying to federal investigators, Cenac faces up to five years in prison, a fine of $250,000 and three years of supervised probation.
The bill of information is merely a charge, and he has not been proven guilty, U. S. Attorney Boente said.
The FBI, Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office investigated the case.
Landrieu's office said earlier that her campaign was suspicious of the checks, which were numbered sequentially, and never accepted them, instead donating the money to the U.S. Treasury. Vitter's office told the New Orleans Times-Picayune Thursday that Cenac's campaign donations involved in the settlement had been donated to charity.
Cenac has a long history of philanthropy in Terrebonne and Lafourche, including an endowed chair established in his name at Nicholls State University.

Too bad Dr. Rick Cunningham's column Tuesday on ACL tears was published after Lindsey Vonn tore hers, because otherwise she would have known how to prevent ACL tears!
I wonder if her ski bindings were adjusted appropriately (one of the doctor's recommendations). If only Vonn's tech knew!
Of course, it could have been that Vonn didn't know how to land after a jump.
Is Cunningham's next column going to be "Prevent cancer: Eat more fruits and vegetables"?
I am not a doctor, and even I know that you can do everything right - diet, ski technique, equipment, proper strength training - and still tear a ligament.
You can decrease the chance of injury if you do everything right, but you can not prevent it. Don't make your past and future patients feel bad because now they think they could have prevented the injury.
Now, there is one way to prevent a tear of an ACL. It is not on Cunningham's list, and it is the only one that works: Don't go skiing, play soccer, ice skate or do anything physical.
Sit on the couch. Your ACL will be safe, and you will never get to meet Cunningham.

Members of Palo Alto's largest union are set to receive their first raise in six years.
On Monday, the Palo Alto City Council voted 8-0 with Councilwoman Gail Price absent to approve a two-year agreement with Service Employees International Union Local 521 that provides all 570 members with a 4.5 percent pay hike.
"It provides a very reasonable economic increase, the first since 2008 for the SEIU employees," Kathy Shen, the city's chief people officer, told the council.
In addition, the salaries of 320 workers in 89 job classifications identified as "under market" would be increased by 2 to 10 percent, according to a city staff report. Several positions would receive an additional adjustment to address recruitment and retention issues.
The agreement changes the formula for employer-paid medical costs. Instead of covering 90 percent of a worker's premium cost, the city would pay a fixed flat rate, according to the report.
"The contract should be thought of in the context of ongoing structural changes where the employees now pay their full pension cost and they pay 10 percent of their health care premiums," Shen said.
The union has already ratified the agreement, which covers the period from Dec. 1, 2013, to Dec. 1, 2015.
"I think that it's a very good settlement for the city and for our workers," Councilman Larry Klein said Monday. "We do have to keep in mind that our workers are essential to the services that we like."
Klein also seized the moment to reject an argument he has heard from some quarters that Palo Alto workers should get a job in another city if they don't believe they are being correctly compensated.
"These are people who work hard for the city and deserve to be paid appropriately," he said.
When fully implemented, the agreement is expected to cost the city an additional $7.6 million.

Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.
Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: texteditor , syntaxhighlight , console , code , source

This is traditionally a command=line application, so, yes, you would use it within the terminal, but, no, it definitely is not part of it. As a decent UNIX, OS X comes with VIM installed, so that's why it's already there. OS X also comes with other classics like emacs, perl, and a nice collection of the GNU tools (e.g. sed, awk, grep, etc.).
It's actually on version 7.0 now. How do we change that?
I wish wish wish this were Cocoa; the interface in its current incarnation is kind of clunky and weird. But hey, it is Vim. And I imagine that porting it to Cocoa would be a hellish ordeal.
Yepp, sorry for the confusion. It was one of the first apps I added while developing iusethis ;) (and in fact the app I used to write the code for iusethis as well)
I like these icons:
Yeah, it's charityware. there was an issue with editing that reset apps to default license. fixed now.
Vim is more than freeware, it's opensourced (i forget what license though)

The TV even has an option to "restart", but it restarts from that said point.
This makes me think that this is pms's fault.
Using 1.20.412 on linux.
Also, seeking is slow and doesn't always work fine (specially when trying to seek to the start).
Is there an easy way to seek to the start of the movie?
Is there a way to always play from the begining?

Vail official report: 2 inches.
Vail Daily field report: 0 inches new snow
Liftline status: Eagle Bahn and Chair 8 are empty.
Weather: Cold and crisp this morning, with-some high-haze in the air that's keeping the sun from fully-exposing itself. It's sure to burn off as the day goes on.
-Breakdown: Yesterday's "1 inch" did feel more like 2 or 3. While we said it felt like more than-1 due to how wet the snow was, in retrospect it felt like more because it actually was more. Vail gave their official report of one inch at 5 a.m., and more continued to fall after that leaving them to report 2 more inches this morning, since those 2 inches came down after that 5 a.m. report. But don't let that fool you, those 2 inches are not laying fresh on the slopes today, they've been packed and groomed down into the beautiful surface-enjoyed by Vail's first-chair crew-this morning.-Yesterday's fresh snow and today's-great groom-have coupled-to create a very nice skiing-surface. Get out there early to best enjoy it.
-Snowcast: NOAA is saying 30 percent chance rain/snow for Wednesday night and 50-percent chance for Thursday.

Sad to say, neither do I,....to each his own, I guess.
A tribal gathering featuring (Longboard) Jesus? Perhaps he can demonstrate his legendary water walking skills. Hmmm.
Sad to say but I haven't talked to the guy in years; mostly my fault. Interestingly, when last we spoke, he reminded me that when you meet The Buddha in the line up, give him the right of way.
That guy rips like a deity should.
Why do I feel like this reunion is just a ploy to preach or convert?
SI East Coast union (it cant be a reunion if we've never met) at the Belmar Pro in Jerz? Mid Sep! Count me in. I'll be the guy in surf trunks with a cool tee shirt on.
"It's the F*ckin Catalina Wine Mixer!"
Oh ministers and missionaries,
Praise be for your dedication to Jesus. However this is the 21st Century, in America, a first world supernation full of information.......
Everybody's has heard of God so you don't need to tell anybody aboot Him. Some folk don't take kindly to others' imposing their beliefs on them.
So who's going to step up and be the entertainment?

Author to discuss 'sexual politics of meat' at USC Upstate
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 4:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 4:40 p.m.
Religion scholar and feminist author Carol J. Adams will give a lecture titled "God-Talk, Compassion and the Sexual Politics of Meat" at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Sansbury Campus Life Center Ballroom at University of South Carolina Upstate.
Adams has written "The Sexual Politics of Meat," "Prayers for Animals" and hundreds of articles and will discuss "religious, moral and social dimensions of how humans and animals interact in the world," according to a written statement from the university.
Adams "demonstrates how questions of animal rights and food choice are important to feminist thought" and her lectures relate to an increased interest in human-animal studies at USC Upstate.
"There is real responsiveness and excitement nationwide and here at USC Upstate in exploring human-animal relationships from all sorts of perspectives. Ms. Adams' visit here is a part of this growing awareness of why animals and how we relate to them is so important today," Clif Flynn, chair of the Sociology, Criminal Justice and Women's Studies Department, is quoted in the statement.

LINDEN - FBI agents hand sifting soil that was pulled from an old Linden well in search of murder victims of killers Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog reported Monday reaching a depth of 40 feet.
Still, they have found no remains, FBI spokeswoman Gina Swankie said in a statement. Progress has been slow, with the agents and technical experts clearing from 5 to 7 feet each day.
Preparation work on the Flood Road well began Jan. 7, and hand digging began Jan. 17. Excavating the hard soil next to the old well with heavy equipment so that the team can hand dig the well has been a challenge, Swankie said.
This work comes one year after Shermantine, now on death row at San Quentin State Prison, led investigators to another well nearby where three women and a fetus were recovered.
Herzog committed suicide Jan. 17, 2012, after learning that Shermantine was helping investigators recover the murder victims near the two men's boyhood homes.

EAGLE, Colorado - The Greenspeed Project, Inc., organizers of the popular Breck Epic MTB Stage Race, has announce the launch of the inaugural Eagle Outside Festival. Scheduled for May 11-12 in Eagle, the event serves as a showcase for the community's extensive trail network and as a centerpiece for the town's destination tourism marketing effort.
"We've made a-commitment to increase the quality and quantity of our already substantial trail network," said Mayor Yuri Kostick, "We believe that Eagle offers some of the best riding in the Rockies, all-within an easy drive of the Front Range. The Eagle Outside Festival shines a spotlight on what we consider to be a perfect early season riding option for the Colorado mountain biking community."
Described as a "re-envisioning" of Eagle's former Get Out Expo, the new event incorporates many new elements for riders, runners and outdoor enthusiasts. First among them is the inaugural Firebird MTB Race and its counterpart, the women's only Firebird la Femme. Non-USAC sanctioned, the mountain bike events take place on Saturday and Sunday, respectively and collectively boast a $10,000 cash purse with equal payouts for men's and women's-fields.
The festival also features the first annual Rocky Mountain Bike and Outdoor Expo, a demo boasting some of the bike industry's leading brands. Santa Cruz, Pivot, Ibis, Felt, Niner, Specialized, Yeti, Ellsworth, Twenty Two Cycles, Orbea, Wilier, Ridley, BMC and more will be on hand with-their latest models. The free demo invites consumers to test ride their dream rigs all day long on Eagle's signature climbs and descents.
"With three great coffee shops, a very good brewery, some killer Mex, dining options galore and a full grip of trails leading riders from town into the back of beyond, Eagle is sort of an undiscovered secret," says event producer Mike McCormack, "The racing part is obvious, and we're thrilled to have the town's support in offering a sizable purse. The current dynamic as dictated by USA Cycling is universally unpopular - hopefully another great race without their sanction will prompt them to invest additional thought into their recent decision. Then again, maybe it won't."
"The demo is a direct extension of the success we've seen at events like Sea Otter, Interbike and Outerbike," McCormack said. "People love to try the bikes they've only seen reviewed online or in a magazine. Events like these are packed with smiling people. With the industry placing more and more resources into dealer relationship and support demo-type programs, we think we've come pretty close to the mark in terms of offering a great venue along with tremendous energy and critical mass, all during the important early season purchasing period. And besides - what better way to introduce riders to Eagle?"
The event will also offer a no-cost set of Strava Challenges. Riders can test themselves on some of Eagle's signature climbs and descents, trying to best the local hammers and rippers for digital bragging rights.
There's more than just biking, though. New for this year is the Mother of a Half-Marathon, a downhill road marathon that sees competitors finish in the heart of Eagle Ranch. In addition, there will be a 10K longboard push race, a "Chro-Moly Chef" competition, and a wide variety of Mother's Day activities including yoga, spa treatments, flower delivery, special meal offers from local dining spots and much, much more.
For more information on the Eagle Outside Festival, the Rocky Mountain Bike and Outdoor Expo or any of the events held throughout the weekend, visit eagleoutsidefestival.com.

Very nice improvement StreamHD,
The new code (SubJunk Build 59/60) made it possible by using the "trancode folder",
to select [no encoding] if the video file match the "supported = " lines.
This way MKV files with embedded subtitles like UTF-8 (native supported with my blu-ray HTS player),
can be streamed (no transcode / encode) without using, "skip transcode for following extensions",
"definitely disable subs" or "StreamExtensions = ". Awesome
Strange that a MKV with the subtitle format ASS (native supported with my Philips HTS player),
doesn't need the transcode folder [no encoding], to play without transcoding.
So a renderer that support MKV and DTS but no embedded suptitles, with ASS now needed the transcode folder.
Still i hope the code can be changed to stream MKV files without the use of the "trancode folder",
for MKV files with UTF-8 embedded suptitles.
Than i don't need the transcode folder anymore for my blu-ray HTS player.

PARKERSBURG - Area children got a chance Sunday to see what kinds of arts were available locally during the Parkersburg Art Center's annual May Day Arts Celebration.
Over 200 kids came to the art center in downtown Parkersburg with their parents and got to try out a variety of art-making activities including handicrafts, necklace making, painting, working with clay, drumming, face painting, movement, dance and more, said Jessie Siefert, education coordinator at the center.
"This is our May Day event," she said. "It is our free community arts day. Today we have about 10 make-and-take arts projects.

"It is our way of celebrating the arts and welcoming everyone from the community."
Kids could come and make something at a number of the stations or participate in a number of activities during Sunday's program. Parents could watch from the side or join in with their kids and share the experience.
"It really is for anyone," Siefert said.
Samantha Harris, of Parkersburg, brought her two children to see what was available and the kinds of activities they could do. She had brought her youngest son before to a number of events that have been held throughout the year at the center, the Arty Party programs.
"He has really liked coming to the art center," she said of 6-year-old Quade. "He fell in love with the place."
Harris was standing with her 10-year-old daughter Emma who was making an owl out of cardboard tubing. Emma has been in Guild Builders at the Parkersburg Actors Guild for awhile and this was her first time at the May Day event at the art center.
"This was her opportunity to come down and try some stuff and see what she thinks of it," Harris said.
Emma Harris said she was having a good time.
"It was fun," she said. "I liked the arts and the live animals."
Samantha Harris said the event was very accommodating for everyone.
"It is very kid friendly and family oriented," she said. "It was very welcoming."
Her children especially had a good time.
"They loved being able to be creative and express themselves," she said.
Meredith Woodburn, of Parkersburg, brought her two daughters, Addison and Peyton, to the event to see what was available. The girls got to experience a wide variety of things from working with clay to painting to playing on a drum and more. The art center has the resources and instructors to do a program like this," she said.
"It is something to let the kids experience it," Woodburn said. "I think it is good because it is not something they normally get to do at home."
Juanita Salazar, 7 of Lubeck, was one of the participants in the painting station where kids got to work with brushes, paints and more.
"You get to make your own design and do it however you want," she said.
Megan Dolly, of Mineral Wells, brought her 4-year-old son Owen to Sunday's May Day. They saw the event advertised and thought it would be something he would enjoy.
"It is wonderful," she said. "It has been a lot of fun."
Owen was involved in a lot of activities, but seemed to enjoy making a necklace the most.
"That took a lot of time and he was very particular about all the beads he wanted to put on there," she said. "He had a lot of fun doing that.
"He has a blast. He loves doing stuff like this, making things and crafting all the time. I thought this would be something he would really like to do."
Local musician Mary Mary Gonot conducted the drumming demonstration and said the kids had been enthusiastic all day.
"As soon as they see a drum and a cymbal and they know they can make all the noise they want, they can't wait," she said. "They love to sit down and love to play with it."
Gonot was teaching the participants about each drum she had, how they made different sounds and how kids could make their own percussion sounds with everyday things.
"There are a lot of different things I bring to them and they bring to me," she said. "With their enthusiasm, I love to share it with them."
Sunday's event was a chance for kids to be social and experience art through different mediums, Siefert said.
"I hope we further their love of art and hope they come back and take advantage of what we have to offer here at the art center," she said.

Here is confirmation of what should be obvious: Alzhieimer's disease is not only costly, it costs more than heart disease or cancer.
I worry that we'll just look away.
The Democratic-led Minnesota House and Senate are proposing $150 million in cuts to heath and human services. For nursing homes, costs go up but reimbursement goes down. Who will suffer? Not just the employees, who haven't had a raise in years, but the residents are going to feel the impact of lower staffing levels and lower morale amongst staff.
Sadly, I think we are entering grim times in eldercare, particularly for those who are going to enter eldercare instutitions. There is no will whatsoever, even in areas you would usually find the will, to take care of those in need. None. The "all government is evil" mantra has so hynotized politicians (and many citizens) that anybody who brings up the actual pain caused by cuts in services is ignored in the name of fiscal belt-tightening. The tight-wads have won. I don't buy that they are simply looking at fiscal reality. These people who look down at the ground as soon as you bring up human suffering use fiscal matters as an excuse for human coldness, which is what really gives them joy: The opportunity to be cold and mean and have it seem noble and necessary. Some people live for that.
The belt-tightening will fall hardest on those who don't have voice to protest. Alzheimer's patients have no voice. They will suffer most. Other nursing home patients are next. Then come those who work in nursing homes, who have no organization and are generally on the edge of poverty themselves.
Is it a radical notion that people who do the hard work in a nursing home should be paid well enough to have no problem buying a car, buying a home and taking an occasional vacation? That's the way it was thirty years ago! But no more.
