"Coal on a Roll" - in depth from onearth.orgPermalink +
Thu, Sep 01, 2011, 3:46 pm // John Servais
A longish article, but with good information for us here in Whatcom County. As we face the looming reality of the Cherry Point Coal Terminal, we would do well to learn what the forces are that are imposing this on us. And let us not fool ourselves on two issues: It is a coal port and the fix is in. None of this 'general cargo terminal' lie and none of this make-believe that the government agencies still need to approve the permits. The fix is in - from the governor to our two U.S. senators to the agencies they control - all of them.
But still, we can learn, and this article is good for looking at the larger picture. George Black traveled to the places and interviewed people and did some research. www.onearth.org is a website of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. It is based in New York. Funny they can have a guy do more traveling in our Washington state than any of our journalists. But then they don't have pressure from local advertisers.

That's not the route a Bellingham bound train wiould take, any in depth map would show the correct route to Cherry Point, I'm positive even Warren would tell you that free information.
John Servais // Sat, Sep 03, 2011, 1:36 pm
That is the map used in the article - and that is why it is used to illustrate this short review and link to the article. That should be plain enough.
I was in Missoula this summer and saw the coal trains pass through on their way to Roberts Bank - per the route on this map. The rail through Missoula is leased by BNSF. There are probably more routes that are used. I hope to be posting more on this soon.
Regardless, I still think the coal trains for Cherry Point will come across Canada, cross over at Sumas and ride on new tracks to Custer. Lynden will be blindsided. See my March 25 article.

Despite your apparent capitulation to the "looming reality of the Cherry Point Coal Terminal" because "the fix is in", others here in our green county beg to differ. No doubt George III believed in the "looming reality" of his victory over an army of hemp-clothed colonial volunteers, as did the CIA in the continuing usefulness of its asset in North Africa, Colonel Ghaddaffi. To quote Robbie Burns: "The best laid plans of mice and men oft gang aglay".
The traitors who run our national economy for their own benefit and that of foreign rivals, with whom they are in league (Goldman Sachs on Chairman Mao's payroll - and our own local unions corrupted by the same greedy moral degenerates!), are few in number and easily identifiable. Thanks to the increasing concentration of wealth and power that globalization engenders, the economic elite is both richer and smaller in number. Soon enough they will feel the wrath of the American middle class that they continue to sell out to Communist Chinese interests.
John Servais // Tue, Sep 06, 2011, 12:18 pm
David - nowhere did I capitulate. Funny how you read that in. The fix is in - and we do need to learn much more about this. Right now we are thrashing blindly about in anger - and that will not do us any good.
Dan Pike reversing himself for pure political reasons and saying he is against the project is a blind lashing out. If reelected, he will probably forget his opposition the day after the election - as he did for most of his promises 4 years ago. And, his lashing out at the coal trains is just dumb as trains go where they want. He worked on transportation policies for the state before being elected and he well knows the emptiness of his ranting against trains.
The one person doing the most is Bob Ferris of Re-Sources. He is combining opposition with education. He should be supported by all. But we have lots of people and organizations that want to be seen as political heros and will try to take the spotlight - with vague and meaningless rants.
We need to learn more. Our elected officials can ask questions - but so far they have not. When I ask them as individuals why not - they say that the railroads, SSA, the regulators, our governor, our two senators, and Goldman Sachs do not have to give answers. Well, to me, that is no reason for not asking the questions.
If we as a county wide community actually try to learn what is planned and to seek to stop it if it is onerous, then we could do it. But we seem to not have the leaders who will seek the answers for us. You or I can post questions and they will never be answered. But if county council members ask and repeatedly ask questions in this election season, then some answers might come forward.
Right now we know little of what we might object to. And that is the way the powers want to keep it. First we need to learn. Then we can decide whether or not to oppose. Right now, the fix is in - and we peasants are not expected to know how to do anything meaningful about it. Hard truth, but the truth.
David Camp // Wed, Sep 07, 2011, 6:50 am
I admit to having read a certain fatalistic acceptance of the fix that's in in your post. Glad you've not given up hope. This Coal project is of global scope - the SSA-Cherry Point project is a small component of many comprising it. And its proponents have so far done a good job of keeping opposition fragmented and local. And of co-opting local worthies to divide and conquer, exploiting the social divisions carefully maintained by the money elite: "conservative" v. "librul"; county v. B'ham; green v. jobs. (It seems to me that we have an elite that maintains power by a combination of racketeering and brainwashing and dominionist ideology - putting up hired hand "leaders" to maintain the illusion of democracy. e.g. our Empty Suit of an Emperor.).
And they use deception as a matter of habit. Consider the BS statement "the trains will come through B'ham anyway and the coal will be shipped through Canadian ports". True only for the very small capacity at ROberts Bank (Tswawassen, BC) - even if its planned expansion goes through, it will be for only a small fraction of the capacity proposed for Cherry Point. So yes coal trains will come through town- only not 40 per day, but rather only 10 or so (compared to the current 4).
I'm looking forward to the candidates' responses to this question in the October edition of Whatcom Watch.
John Servais // Wed, Sep 07, 2011, 9:39 am
I agree with you, David.
Except for waiting for possible answers in the October Whatcom Watch. That is how we lose - by going with the routine practices of Democracy.
Instead, we need many of our elected officials and candidates to publicly ask the hard questions now - and keep asking them. We need to put Senators Murray and Cantwell on the spot. We need to put the Governor on the spot. We need even those candidates who think this coal port is a good idea to ask hard questions.
But we won't see that. The fix is in. We will see knowingly empty rhetoric and excuses. And a few years from now we will listen to these same people say they would have been against this coal port if only they had known. It is how it works. We need some real leadership in our community. So far, I do not see any individual willing to take up that vacant position. Kremen and Pike have certainly never gone near such a position. Will Linville or Louws? Will Tony or Barry or Seth or Christie?

Jeff Vanderbeek takes over sole ownership of Devils; Refinancing of team debt completed
The Devils' financial situation has been straightened out and its transfer of ownership shares completed.
Devils chairman Jeff Vanderbeek has completed the 18-month process of refinancing the team's debt and buying out his partners, making him the sole owner of the team.
Vanderbeek takes over the 47 percent share of Brick City Hockey LLC, which was headed by Michael Gilfillan and Ray Chambers, and the six percent owned by Peter Simon.
The NHL's Board of Governors voted via fax about two weeks ago to approve Vanderbeek as sole owner of the Devils.
In a statement announcing the deal today, Vanderbeek acknowledged the fans' frustration with the ongoing owners' lockout, but also that he believes this is a big day for the organization going forward -- when the league resumes play.
"Today's announcement is good news for Devils fans though I fully recognize fans' frustration with the work stoppage," Vanderbeek said. "Our future is now secure and we can be confident of continued on-ice success. Our team has gone to the Stanley Cup Final five times in the last 17 years and following the most recent run to the Stanley Cup Final last year, we are excited about our future -- for Jersey's team and Prudential Center, home to the 2013 NHL Draft.
"I am grateful to Mike Gilfillan and Brick City Hockey for our former partnership. Together we shared a passion that led to the building of the Prudential Center – truly a shining jewel of a facility and in my view one of the best arenas in the entire world. The Rock is a great legacy for which we will always be proud."
Gilfillan, the president of Brick City Hockey LLC, issued a statement on the transfer of ownership shares.
"Brick City's involvement with the Devils was to make professional sports a catalyst for economic development in downtown Newark, along with staging events for concerts and family shows, and to complement performances in the nearby New Jersey Performing Arts Center," Gilfillan said. "Brick City feels we have accomplished that goal, with Jeff as our partner.
"Our goal to stimulate and facilitate that growth has been achieved, and is obvious to everyone, given how much development has occurred near the Prudential Center and the Performing Arts Center, from what is underway, and is to come."
Financial details of the ownership transfer were not available due to a confidentiality agreement. Brick City Hockey LLC had stopped funding the team more than a year ago, so Vanderbeek was already the Devils' sole financer. Vanderbeek's new title is Chairman of the New Jersey Devils and New Jersey Devils Arena Entertainment LLC. "Managing partner" has been dropped from his title because he has no partners.
Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello maintained throughout that the ownership situation and team debt were not impacting how he conducted his business. Still, he was pleased to have it settled.
"Jeff has worked very hard on this and I'm very happy for him to get it behind him," Lamoriello said. "I wasn't involved in the process, but it's good for him and brings stability to the organization."
With CIT group working as the lead arranger, Vanderbeek has been working for roughly a year and a half with the team's creditors to refinance a debt of about $78 million. With the team's long run to the Stanley Cup Finals last June, the success of Prudential Center in booking big act concerts such as The Who and The Rolling Stones, in combination with record-low interest rates, the Devils have already been able to pay down a significant portion of their debt.
While working through the refinancing and ownership transfer, the team received an advance of league distributions in January, 2012. That was money the team would have normally received at the end of the season, but several teams apply for and receive the advance.
A news release announcing the deal states, "The organization believes that its successful refinancing during a work stoppage demonstrates the strength of the Devils franchise and the Prudential Center, enabling it to continue to execute on its business plan."
Vanderbeek is now the sole owner of the team, but a source said he might seek to bring in other partners at a later date.
The 2013 NHL Entry Draft is scheduled for June 28 and 29 at Prudential Center. If there is a 2012-13, the draft would be moved back -- likely into July -- to accommodate a later end to the season and Stanley Cup Finals caused by the lockout.

EarthLink sues spam and identity theft rings
EarthLink said it has filed suit against two unsolicited commercial e-mail rings with operations in the US and Canada.
This Article Covers
Risk management
EarthLink has filed suit against two unsolicited commercial e-mail rings with operations in the US and Canada.
The ISP is suing to recover an estimated $5m (£3.2m) in lost employee productivity and internet bandwidth which, it claimed, was spent managing more than 250 million e-mail messages sent from e-mail addresses on its network, according to Pete Wellborn, legal counsel for EarthLink.

The suit targets two separate spam concerns. The first is believed to be behind a variety of spam campaigns including pitches for "herbal Viagra", pornography and online dating services.
The ring used about a dozen phone numbers to connect to more than 100 dial-up EarthLink accounts paid for with fake customer names and addresses. Those accounts were used to send the spam messages.
A second ring in Vancouver used around six different phone numbers to connect to EarthLink accounts as part of a massive "phisher" scheme to trick unsuspecting internet users into passing on sensitive information, such as account passwords and credit card numbers.
Phisher schemes use web pages designed to look like legitimate websites, such as Amazon.com and PayPal.com, in complicated ruses to capture account information from customers of those sites.
Among other things, the Vancouver spammers used stolen EarthLink accounts to send e-mail messages to America Online members posing as the company to obtain account information such as user name, password and credit card information, according to EarthLink spokeswoman Carla Shaw.
The suits are important not just because of the problem of spam, but because both spam rings have links to the larger problem of identity theft.
"These are criminals who have been trying to steal user information," Shaw said.
In addition, the Alabama spam ring appeared to use a variety of sophisticated technology to conduct their business, Wellborn said.
The spammers have a software-based automatic login system that immediately attempts to reconnect the spammers to EarthLink's network once an active connection fails.
They are also using dynamically hosted websites that appear on the internet only as long as the spammers are logged in, then disappear once they have logged off, he said.
The transitory nature of the spammers operation is making it especially hard to attach names to EarthLink's case, Wellborn said.
The suit is just the latest in a wave of legal actions brought by prominent ISPs and online suppliers against spammers and unscrupulous online marketers.
Amazon.com said that it was filing suit against 11 online marketers, claiming that they misappropriated its name in e-mail solicitations.
In May, EarthLink won a $16m judgment against a New York man who allegedly sent more than 825 million spam messages through the ISP's network.
This latest cases involve technologically sophisticated gangs of spammers, Wellborn said.
By filing suit against the as-yet unnamed spammers, EarthLink hopes to use subpoenas of ISPs, mailbox rental companies and domain registrars to track down the true identity of the spammers.

NEWARK - Officials heard from hundreds of angry Newark parents at a town hall meeting Tuesday night over the "One Newark" plan to reorganize the state-controlled district.
Several students stepped up to the microphone during the meeting and told lawmakers they don't know where they will be going to school when class starts Thursday. One said she was rejected from nearly all her enrollment choices.
Many students say they don't feel safe crossing Newark to get to school.
READ MORE: Education Stories
Parents and students are confused about navigating charter schools, and in many cases they were told they could not enroll at certain public schools.
"I registered on the first day of their enrollment," one parent said. "I did everything right. I went through every procedure which they told me to do."
The One Newark plan is reorganizing Newark schools through closing and consolidation, while also relying on more charters. It also led to long lines and waits for enrollment.
"Our systems were overwhelmed and as a result you saw way too much confusion and lack of clarity. We definitely acknowledge that and deeply apologize," says Superintendent Cami Anderson.
Anderson says extra staff and time were added to help students enroll. She has also said only one in four seats in Newark schools was considered "desirable" so many parents applied for the same schools.
A local Newark parents group has threatened to boycott the first day of school.
Anderson says her goal is to improve all the schools, and that many problems with enrollment were there before the One Newark plan.

Make that 53-for-53 for the year and 63 in a row dating back to last season.
"If I miss one I miss one. I'm bound to miss one eventually," Wood said after the game. "That's the way I'm pretty much looking at it."
Asked if he's ever had a longer streak, he said, "Not in games. Just shooting around with gym teachers and stuff like that I've made I think it was like 200 and something.
"My dad always told me you shouldn't miss free throws, they're wide open, no one's guarding you."
Teammate C.J. Leslie just shakes his head.
"Scott's a very good free throw shooter," he said. "If you look at me (during Wood's attempts), I don't even try to go in for the rebound when he shoots that. I've got so much faith in him and that free throw shot, it's probably ridiculous.
"I know he's going to make it whenever he gets up there. He's a very good free throw shooter."
Talking about seeing Wood make shot after shot in practice, Leslie said, "He often … I mean, we shoot 20 in a row and it's nothing new if he goes 20-for-20, so..."

It is highly recommended for you to take the WagonsLit sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor for the authentic experience riding along the Nile River all night long. The train stations, in both cities, are easy to navigate, though we found few English speaking workers.
It was approx. $90usd roundtrip in a first class sleeper (in Nov. 03) and lasted almost 9 hours. You need to buy your ticket at least one day in advance of travel. Make sure you're in the correct line for the proper tickets you need. We had our English speaking taxi driver come inside the train station with us to help make the purchase.
The beds were comfortable, the room was private (for two people), it had a mirror, sink and small spot to hang items. We were served dinner and breakfast, each quite adequate.
The train itself can be a little noisy on the tracks, I slept with earplugs once I was ready to sleep and no longer view the sites outside our window.
There's a smoking car for gathering, and well, smoking, and you should feel completely safe with the guard stationed at the end of each car carrying a machine gun. Yikes!
Even though it is dark outside, many of the small towns the train slowly passed through had lights and we could see neighborhoods; quite, calm and beautiful in the moonlight.
It's a wonderful experience for the traveler in all of us. Go to Egypt, visit the pyramids, the bazaars, the temples, take a train ride and eat dinner on the Nile. You won't be disappointed in the least! :)
* there's a night sleepers train abela aegypt, from ramses II railway station to direction aswan. take a stop at luxor railway station, about 15 minutes walking from luxor temple. nice service and couchette, with ticket usd53/pax/one way. departures: 08.30 pm, arrival: 05.05 am
reservation at ramses II cairo or several travel agents or directly to the sleeping cars service.
* an another option which is also comfy, takes nefertiti class. per room contain of 6 seats without couchette. ticket price LE65/pax/one way.
From Luxor you can take the train to Aswan or to (or in the direction of) Cairo.
To Aswan is a ride of three/four hours. We reserved for the early morning train in a second class airco wagon. They served tea and sandwiches.
Departure times and fares change, so check at the station.
We took the overnight train from Cairo to Aswan, which takes 16 hours. The 1st class service provides very wide swivel seating and plenty of leg room, so we saved ourselves a significant sum over tickets for the "sleeper" service. I tied my shoe laces to my luggage, but casual survey of the other passengers showed little to be worried about--families and businessmen who could care less about our luggage. The tracks were in good repair and the train wasted little time in moving between stations.
Luxor is roughly half-way between Cairo and Aswan, so we returned north from Aswan by way of local vans that make quick work of the short run visits to temples at Esna and Idfu along the way. And, on the trip from Luxor back to Cairo, all train tickets for 1st class were sold out, so we purchased 2nd class seats. As it turned out, 2nd class was somewhat more entertaining in terms of conversations with fellow passengers, and the seats while a bit more confining than 1st were really quite adequate for the shorter run. The great thing about train travel is that if the seat makes the bottom sore, a passenger can get up and walk around to ease the discomfort.
The Luxor Train station is a long walk through the center of Luxor from the waterfront hotel area, but is still close enough for backpackers or even those like ourselves who pull wheeled luggage.
Travelling to and from Luxor is easily done by train and most foreigners by pass any bus because the journeys are usually long. Luxors train station is located in the center of the town. Abela Egypt Sleeping Train (237 2015 or www.sleepingtrains.com) leave at 830pm and 930pm daily arriving in Cairo at 545am and 645am the next morning. The cost is around $53 US which must be paid in Euros or US dollars. The other train that foreigners take is the 981 departing at 915am , train 1903 departing at 915pm and train 997 departing at 1110pm. The trip takes about 10 hours and student discounts are available. Foreigners are permitted to take the 3 daily services to Aswan (train 996 leaves at 715am) (train 1902 leaves at 930am) and 980 leaves at 5pm all taking around 3 hours. All three trains to Aswan stop at Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo.
We took a train from Cairo down to Aswan then from Luxor back to Cairo... It was a '1st class' train cabin that we were in and was actually not too bad. The seats were like business class in an aeroplane but the toilet was definitely not the nicest. ;) The train ride down to Aswan took around 16 hours because of an accident on the track (it's usually about 12 hours) but it was fun to look out the window during the daylight hours and see some of the countryside. From Luxor to Cairo it was about a 9 hour trip...
Inside of Luxor Train Station are two different ticket booths - one for locals and the sleeping train booth for foreigners. If you're coming inside the station, it will be on your left with a "Sleeping Train" sign posted on the wall next to it.
You must use either Euros or American Dollars to buy the ticket. They do not take Visa. If you don't have either, across the street from the station (and slightly to the right) is a money-exchange office.
One-way ticket cost from Luxor to Cairo: $53. Your platform (most likely) will be the one you first encounter upon entering the station. You shouldn't have to go underground to cross over to the other side platform. There are only two platforms total.
On the Abela sleeping train, you will be served dinner that is basically airplane food (buy drinks separately) and breakfast that is just a variety of different breads (coffee and tea included here).
You can have drinks sent to your cabin, or you can purchase from the club car. A bottle of wine is 65LE, Stella beers are 14LE.
To get the beds down, contact one of the workers; they have to use a special key.
The overnight train to Cairo arrives around 7am.
I took train from Aswan to Luxor. There are only 3 official trains, 06:00, 18:00, and 20:00 for foreigners. However, the tourist office told me in Luxor that I could take any other trains to Luxor if I brough the ticket on the train. This information was confirmed by another VTer to be wrong and she could not even get through the ticket conductor at the train before she board on the train. To avoid this potential trouble, I took the 06:00 train (1st class 26 EGP May 2006) to Luxor. The 1st class is very comfortable (see pic).
If you are coming from Cario, you can take one of those foreigners cleeper. See this page for details:
Train from Cairo
Take the First Class train. This is just as quick (approx. 10hrs) as the Sleeper Train and a lot cheaper (EGP60 oneway). Buy your ticket at least a day in advance if you can. The guy at the ticket window takes his time and doesn't care if you're in a hurry to catch the train... The 1st Cls train has comfy, reclinable seats that can even be swiveled to sit opposite each other (e.g. if you're a group of 4). Bring a sweater or cardigan; the aircon can make it quite chilly.
If you take the overnight train from Cairo to Luxor and are travelling independantly, be aware that the train arrives in Luxor very early in the morning before the town has woken up.
There will be taxis waiting at the train station for the early morning train, so you should be fine moving on - but remember to haggle withthe taxi driver on the price before you get into his car.
Make sure yuo know what you want to do at 6am before anybody is around and don't expect your hotel to be able to let you check-in this early - my hotel did but it took a little bit of a financial gratuity to ease the early morning check-in which was worth every penny just for a couple of hours sleep in a bed and a shower.
The best way to visit Luxor from Cairo is to take the overnight sleeper train. The trains leave Cairo at night and get to Luxor in the early morning. They also leave Luxor at night and arrive back in Cairo in the morning as well. The carriages are very comfortable and clean and the price includes a dinner and breakfast. The cost is $60 one way in a shared double cabin or $80 for a single cabin. There is a website that has the prices and routes available but they do not respond to emails so I was unable to reserve through the site. I had to go to the Giza train station (not Ramses Station) there is a trailer office next to the station that sells the tickets. They only accept U.S. dollars so be prepared for that. The sleeping trains are the best and most reliable option for tourists. The local trains are cheaper but they are sitting trains with no beds and food options, additionally much of the time they don't allow tourist on those trains. The train I took left Cairo at 9:00 and got to Luxor at 6:10 and then the return train left on roughly the same schedule. Check the website for the most current schedules.
From Luxor you can take the train to the south to Aswan or to the north into the direction of Cairo.
To Aswan is a ride of three/four hours.
We reserved for the early morning train in a second class airco wagon. In the train they served tea and sandwiches. Departure times and fares change, so check at the station.

Here's what Previous Tour Participants had to say….

We'll send you copies of these letters, and you can phone the writers themselves and get their opinions firsthand.)

"I traveled with Apostolos Greek Tours for the 2004 Athens Classic Marathon. It was an outstanding experience, one I will never forget. I liked the fact that our hotel was not in downtown Athens. It provided us the opportunity to take in the beach and gorgeous views. Our location, combined with a well-planned itinerary and EXCELLENT guides, allowed us to see a lot of the Attica region."
Jean, Palmer, Alaska
"What an awesome experience!!! Thank you so much to Paul, Jill, Jeff Galloway, the Arthritis Foundation and all the supporters there for this trip of a lifetime."
Cindy, Atlanta, Georgia
"I heartily recommend utilizing Apostolos Greek Tours for the marathon and for the wonderful presentation of Greek history by knowledgeable and caring people."
Lillian, Anchorage, Alaska
"I am so very glad you took care of all the arrangements and tours. I know first hand how hard it is to plan events, organize tours, banquets, and still keep a smile on your face. It was a top-notch tour and it was a fair price. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The race was great too!"
Gretchen, Ketchikan, Alaska
"Thank you so much for the care that you took in arranging the support for us during the marathon and showing us Greek hospitality and the sights. We really enjoyed our trip and appreciate the part that you both played in making it so successful for both of us."
Eileen & Ron, Canada
"The Apostolos Team was awesome! You all did great work and it was appreciated."
Jean, Alaska
"I have told so many people about my wonderful experience with your tour. I really had a great time."
"…There are not enough good words to say about the job Paul and his crew did to make the trip enjoyable in every way. I remember reading those testimonial letters in his first mailing before signing up for the tour and thinking to myself "These letters have to be hokey. There isn't anyone this good." WELL—I was wrong. Paul is the best we've ever encountered and we've traveled a lot…."
Chip and Sally Akridge
Oxford, Maryland
"Your attention to detail, follow-through and sincere concern for our many needs made for a relaxed, stress-free trip….We can't stop raving to our family, friends and fellow runners what a fabulous tour you put together!"
Steve and Joanne Johnson
Alexandria, Virginia
"Paul, I want you to know that, because of your efforts and attention to the smallest of details, your 11 day tour was one of the highlights of my life…."
Lois Calhoun
Huntington Beach, California
"I would like to commend Paul Samaras for the excellent work he did. He was friendly, courteous and helpful to everyone at all times. Paul would be a great addition to any diplomatic corp."
Lee L. Hinnant
Coral Gables, Florida
"I want to thank you for the great hospitality you gave us…. This is something that will be with me forever."
Glenn and Janice Greenberg
Rockford, Illinois
"Apostolos Greek Tours provided much more than I expected…. I think the feeling of support I had is something which is hard to put in writing. This was most important. I look forward to going on another Apostolos Greek Tour…."
Joe Cowell
Woodland Park, Colorado
"We wanted to especially thank you for all the effort you put forth to make the tour special for everyone involved. I know that can be quite a challenge when you are working with such a diverse group of individuals, but you truly did an extraordinary job…"
Mike and Joni Scholtz
Monmouth, Oregon
"I have never met anyone so dedicated to ensuring that a great time was had by all!"
Cathie and Bert Del Valle
Miami, Florida
"I would like to let you know how pleased we were with the Athens Tour and the way you handled arrangements. It was SUPER !! I cannot think of anything that was left out…If you ever plan another Marathon please let us know. I would go on it without reservations. Thanks for a memorable trip!"
Phyllis Sherrill
"Just a quick note to say thanks for such an amazing experience during the 2000 marathon. We have just arrived back in NZ. Words do not adequately describe our appreciation for the immense effort you and your team put in to make our trip to Greece & the marathon such an experience. You took all the hassle out of the pre race preparation and allowed us to relax before the event. By providing professional running staff, you made quite a challenging marathon(with that damned hill) much easier, but most importantly highlighted all the problems we were likely to face and provided on the day help. We had been building for this event for 6 years. Your tour turned a dream into the greatest time of our running career."
Thanks very much
Graham & Nicola Brown

These are fabulous!! As good or better than any gluten-containing muffins I've made. I just love that these are completely grain free. Thanks for a delicious recipe!!!
We loved these. I did add a little xanthum, and a little lemon oil extract. Yummy.
I love these and bake them on a regular basis. The one change I made was to use coconut sugar rather than agave nectar. I've also made an orange version as well. Thanks!

Born to War is a series of paintings of American women killed in Iraq. The combination of the increasing role of women in the American military and the blurring of lines between combat and non-combat roles in Iraq have made this the first war in which female US soldiers have died in direct combat. The focus on a smaller number of women provides a more approachable view of casualties than more general sites like Iraq Body Count and raises some interesting questions about the role of women in the US military.

Art Fights Back — an exhibit of poster art at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa — displays images dedicated to the memory of September 11 and support of the Unites States and its troops. Seems like a typical thing to do around war time, right?
Take a close look at the actual poster design. Don't they seem rather non-American in their artistic style? In fact, they recall an era of poster design for a dramatically different context than what was typically thought of as U.S. patriotism.

Since the establishment of the ACPRA in 2009, Dr Al Qahtani and his colleagues have been diligently documenting and reporting cases of human rights violations in the Kingdom, with a particular focus on the thousands of cases of arbitrary detentions. ACPRA has, inter alia, helped families of people arbitrarily detained in filling complaints before the Board of Grievances, the administrative jurisdiction competent to consider complaints against the state. In order to raise awareness on this issue of arbitrary detention, ACPRA also contributed to numerous Alkarama submissions to the UN Special Procedures, namely the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. On 2 May 2012, this Working Group, in its Opinion No. 8/2012, noted "with concern a consistent pattern of arbitrary arrest and detention in Saudi Arabia."
Cooperation with the UN human rights mechanisms is protected by Human Rights Council Resolution 12/2, in which the Council "urges Governments to prevent and refrain from all acts of intimidation or reprisal against those who (...) submit or have submitted communications under procedures established by human rights instruments (...)." In Resolution 18/118, the Council further encouraged the observers of the Human Rights Council to "address the issue of cooperation of individuals and groups with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights in the general debate under agenda item 5.".
Today, the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS) delivered an oral statement to the Human Rights Council at its 20th session to express its deep concern regarding Dr Al Qahtani's situation and the campaign of reprisals targeting Human Rights Defenders in Saudi Arabia. They further called on the Presidency of the Council to engage in a dialogue with the Saudi delegation regarding Dr Al Qahtani's situation in order to ensure that the charges against him and other Human Rights Defenders be dropped.
The video of the statement can be viewed here.
Summons for interrogation, travel bans, appearance before Saudi courts, fabricated charges... all these measures of reprisal have been used in a coordinated campaign since last Spring to silence ACPRA's human rights activists.
