Announcement Of Nationally Coordinated Prisoner Workstoppage September 9, 2016
SEPTEMBER 9th NATIONAL ACTION TO END SLAVERY IN AMERICAN PRISONS
SEPTEMBER 9th NATIONAL ACTION TO END SLAVERY IN AMERICAN PRISONS
Israeli think-tank fellow Yossi Klein Halevi, writing recently in the Los Angeles Times would have American readers believe that the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement is "immoral" and threatens the peace of "the region's only intact society", while simultaneously boasting it can't touch Israel's health and global economic integration.
Yet his reasoning from "morals" rings hollow, and amounts to little more than the shilling of the professional apologist industry deployed on Israel's behalf throughout the Western media, in the never-ending defence of the oppressive status quo in Palestine.
Halevi excoriates BDS, disingenuously, for making the Jewish state "the world's most pressing problem" today, while extolling Israel's freedoms and national righteousness. Of course, his complaint manages to engage in both self-pitying and craven boosterism at the same time – a kind of perverse humble-brag.
No, Mr Halevi, Israel is not the world's greatest problem – rather, Israel is Palestine's great, existential, enduring problem for a people who have lived their whole lives under the constant, brutal and de-humanising occupation of this enlightened state.
Palestine's ordeal
Most of the world has been content to overlook Palestine's ordeal – fatigued by 68 years of this conflict, and understandably inured to the epic suffering of its people, who understand that their tragic condition can only hold its attention briefly.
The endless failed international "peace" efforts, the vicissitudes of negotiations, and periodic spasms of violence have become like the weather – always there.
This is precisely why the BDS movement has come to figure so prominently in Palestinian hopes – it side-steps the moribund "peace process" and banks on people-power as leverage against state and institutional power, applied against a responsive economy, such as Israel's.
In the view of Palestinians, the state of Israel has never possessed legitimacy, not by international standards, as it was founded on expulsion, land-theft and military occupation. The BDS movement approaches this abstract issue by offering practicable action for citizens in the West, while the official international community dithers away the decades, leaving Palestinians worse off than ever before.
That such leverage should be applied to Israel is entirely justified. After all, autocratic dictatorships with closed economies, lacking – in Halevi's celebratory words – "an independent judiciary, a free press, universal healthcare and religious freedom" are not typically responsive targets to protest campaigns for justice, like that of the BDS movement.
Citizens in America don't propose a boycott of North Korea – the US government does that for them, making it illegal to do business with that outlaw state: yes, the very same US government which blocks every effort by the United Nations and international courts to address the illegality of Israeli settlements, military occupation, collective punishment, economic enslavement, and wholesale destruction and murder of a captive population.
If America's obstruction of international law did not shield Israel from accountability, there would be no need for BDS.
Because Israel possesses all the institutions and advantages of civil society, then presumably its economy and citizens would therefore be responsive to an effective grassroots campaign of boycott and economic push-back.
And if the campaign were to succeed, this same society might be expected to search its collective soul over its choices – and challenge its government's policies.
This obvious point seems to have escaped Halevi, and others, who brand the movement as "immoral, because it perpetuates the lie that Israel is solely or even primarily to blame" for the Palestinian condition. Yet if we look around the room, who else is there?
Who attacks Palestinians' cities with warplanes and tanks, walls them in, isolates them from contact with the world, cuts off their electricity, destroys their infrastructure, takes their water, and builds on their land after evicting them?
Who puts their teenagers in jail, takes their farms, cuts down their olive trees? It isn't North Korea; it isn't Putin's Russia; it isn't a rapacious China. Israel is the author of the present Palestinian condition, as it has been for decades, with its American backers, and there isn't much point rehashing the failure of Camp David, or Oslo, or the Palestinian leadership since 1936, or 1948, or 1967.
BDS leaves that debate to "think-tank" intellectuals like Halevi and others. Justice for the Palestinians will not be achieved through debating societies.
BDS offers to its supporters a non-violent, crowd-sourced, material response to the intransigence of Israel and her rampant, continuing illegality. Israel's apologists would call the campaign "immoral", but the slander is laughably false.
BDS compels no one to join it; it constrains no one but by force of reason, and the logic of justice.
In Halevi's topsy-turvy morality, it is the BDS movement that sins against moral law, in persuading people, institutions and governments to vote with their wallets and their consciences on the rights of Palestinians – rather than Israel, which claims legitimacy to the world, even as it continues to build new settlements on Palestinian land, and subjugates its people to military occupation, dispossession and violence, in violation of international law.
The propagandists of Israeli power understand all too well that BDS is the first clear-eyed, internationalist movement of people – not governments, not Western "quartets", not the UN Security Council – to look at Palestine with fresh eyes and accurate information. It demands that until Israel ceases its occupation and oppression of millions of Palestinians, there cannot, and should not, be any "business as usual" with the regime.
If Israeli critics want to smear BDS as "bigoted" – a dog-whistle for "anti-Semitic" – because of its endorsement of the Palestinian Right of Return, let them address the historical truth: at least 800,000 Palestinians were expelled en masse, in the creation of the Israeli state – that number has since grown to 7,000,000 stateless refugees with another 4 million internally displaced within their own nation.
No effort has ever been made by official Israeli society to acknowledge and address this simple reality – that many elderly Palestinians living in UN camps, or Gaza City slums, or the West Bank, remember their homes in places such as Jaffa, Yibna, or the numerous towns and villages erased from the map.
It serves no use to deny this fact – perhaps a good starting point for intellectuals like Halevi would be in saying, yes, it is not too late to admit those rights and seek redress, together with the Palestinians.
BDS is brave enough to put the Right of Return up front, as a moral position; if Israel were ready to move forward, it could do the same. Who knows – perhaps good things could come from starting from the truth.
And what of Israel's boast of its progressive freedoms? They do not withstand scrutiny in the slightest – religious freedom, for example, is under clear attack for every Muslim who wishes to worship at al-Aqsa, or travel to Jerusalem, or leave Gaza and return again, with access routinely denied.
Through Israeli military travel bans on Palestinians, families are separated, unable to worship or observe religious rituals together, or attend the mosque of their choice.
Likewise, any progressive Reform Jew or Jewish American visiting will tell you that Orthodox Judaism does not welcome them, either – Israel's Rabbinate monopolises official control over the very legitimacy of being Jewish, and denies marriage rights to thousands of couples, even going so far as to jail couples marrying illegally, or rabbis conducting such ceremonies.
Under Orthodox cultural control in Jerusalem and elsewhere, women are subordinated literally to a "back of the bus" status, and segregated without access to full social freedom and the right to work.
As for an independent judiciary, Palestinians never see it, instead enduring the injustices of military courts and the state security apparatus leaving thousands of them including children as permanent political detainees denied the most fundamental rights, while its civil courts refuse jurisdiction over Palestinian complaints.
And Israel's "free press" leaves much to be desired. Halevi appears to be ignorant of the targeting of Palestinian journalists in recent years for arrest and prosecution in military courts under "incitement" laws; or the Israeli Defence Forces' censoring of social media in the Occupied Territories.
The absurd equivocation of Halevi and his colleagues in the "Love Israel" industry hits a shrill note, asking American readers to accept that the BDS movement "is itself a crime".
But free and open debate of the true status of Israeli occupation in Palestine, and the organising efforts to convince states, businesses and people to stop investing in Israel's bloody enterprise, is hardly criminal. In America, it is known as "the marketplace of ideas".
We are all free to argue for justice as we see it, and BDS has had more than a decade of mounting success because its arguments convince reasonable people of the truth – no one is buying any more the tired, old brand of "Israel, the Enlightened Democracy".
BDS is the brave and steady labour of people of conscience to move the stalled, bogus "peace process" forward by applying economic pressure, plain and simple.
The old narrative of a blameless Israel, fighting off Palestinian "terrorists", is a hard sell, and BDS will continue to build on its successes because Israel's defenders can no longer suppress the truth, or sweep it under some wishful fantasy of a benevolent, progressive Israel that doesn't exist, and never has.

Politics is the family at breakfast. Who is there and who is absent and why.
Who misses whom when the coffee is poured into the waiting cups. Can you, for example, afford your breakfast? Where are your children who have gone forever from these their usual chairs? Whom do you long for this morning? What rhythm is it that pushes you to hurry toward pleasures life has promised you, or to a confrontation you wish you could win just this once? Where are the children of this mother who, in her slightly crooked spectacles, sits knitting a pullover of dark blue wool for the absent one who does not write regularly? Where is your gentle chatter, your splendid isolation, your lack of need of the outside world for even a few moments? Where is your illusion laid bare by the newspaper lying on the cane chair at your side?
What small act of forgiveness are you training yourself to perform today? What reproach do you wish to utter? And what reproach do you wish erased? Who threatens your wonderful mistakes, staying up to spoil your night? Who ruins your sweet inconsequential things with the awe of his authority and his driver and his servants and his happy bodyguards? Who imported this small, shiny teaspoon from Taiwan? What giant ships ploughed the seas to bring you some trivial piece of primitive gadgetry from Stockholm? How did the flower merchants make their millions and build their fine houses from selling the bouquets carried by mothers and sisters to the graveyards that are always damp: raindrops, flowers, and tears. You question why even the silence in the graveyards is wet.
Politics is the number of coffee-cups on the table, it is the sudden presence of what you have forgotten, the memories you are afraid to look at too closely, though you look anyway. Staying away from politics is also politics. Politics is nothing and it is everything.
– Mourid Barghouti, "I Saw Ramallah"
Politics is broken hearts and mangled bodies and tears that don't make sense and no explanations and too many explanations that sound like bullshit. It is randomness and it is calculation. It is the collision of the transient anonymity and uncertainty in airport terminals – fleeting blurs of faces and forms, reunions and farewells and new beginnings, quests for adventure, for meaning, for escape – and the finality, the permanence, of devastation and shrapnel.
Politics is waiting for that phone call, the one that lets you know if you can breathe again. It is planning a funeral instead of your wedding day. It is the "what if?" of the pregnant widow, the guilt-ridden co-worker, and the many sleepless nights to follow. It is never reaching the son you sought to save. And it is what took him away from you in the first place.
Politics hides, shapeshifts, disguises itself, pushing Religion in front of the flashing cameras and microphones to be amplified, scrutinized, despised; to create fodder for talking heads and fearful minds and profitable wars that exact violence on distant bodies and scar landscapes, histories, civilizations. Politics speaks in Religion's tongue, dons Religion's garb, and knows that Religion's foreignness, Otherness, and nebulousness make it an easy scapegoat.
Politics holds press conferences and issues condemnations, all the while dropping bombs (and making money) and colonizing lands (and making money) and building prisons (and making money) and causing children to fear skies and seek solace in oceans. And politicswashes its hands of all of it.
Politics is the twelve year old who never made it to thirteen. The Skittles that were never eaten. The new job that was never started. Politics is also the indictment that was never made, the prison sentence never served; because politics sometimes confuses murder with self-defense.
Politics is downturned heads and broken backs that carry nations only to be told it wasn't enough. It will never be enough. You are not entitled to what you have built, to the soil underneath your fingernails.
Politics is mothers and their prayers and their bodies and their wombs and their madness and their magic and their fire and everything that tries to extinguish it.
Politics is the numbness that accompanies tragedy. The many words that mean nothing at all. The scales that measure the value of lives in airtime and social media posts and make our mourning conditional, qualified, apologetic.
Politics strips us bare, makes hollow our humanness. So thoroughly preoccupies us with trying to prove our worth and our dignity and our right to life, that we don't realize it was never meant to work for us.
Because politics is nothing. And it is everything.
"If you know about someone planning violence at the RNC or DNC but are afraid to tell FBI, contact me. I'll help. firstname.lastname@example.com" ~ Brandon Darby June 27, 2016
Surveillance and infiltration by law enforcement, agents, and private contractors are par for the course during events like The RNC, so here's a warning of two individuals who radicals, leftists, protesters, etc should stay far away from.
On June 23 2016, The Intercept reported that "law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have been knocking on the doors of activists and community organizers in Cleveland, Ohio, asking about their plans for the Republican National Convention in July." Those visited include Black Lives Matter activists, Food Not Bombs organizers planning to distribute food at the RNC, a 66-year-old retiree organizing a march to end poverty, and parents of a student involved in a 2015 protest of the acquittal of a Cleveland police officer charged with voluntary manslaughter.
With intimidation comes surveillance and entrapment. One strategy used by snitches is to joke about the use of violence or bait activists into discussing violence only to later aid law enforcement in entrapping them. In a courtroom, jokes, observations, or off-handed comments can appear as evidence that nonviolent activists were plotting acts of terrorism. Many anarchist prisoners were framed for "terrorist" acts when out-of-context statements were presented by the prosecution. As history shows, the FBI and law enforcement agencies go to great lengths to manufacture "terrorism" charges. In 2012, four Cleveland anarchists (Douglas L. Wright, 26; Brandon L. Baxter, 20; and Anthony Hayne, 35, Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S. Stafford, 23) were arrested by the FBI after a paid FBI informant/provocateur spent months guiding this "plot" and produced the explosives. SeeCleveland4Solidarity for more details on the case and info about how to support our entrapped comrades.
The links at the bottom provide information to help keep you safe, know your rights, and practice security culture.
Of immediate concern…
Protesters attending the RNC and any other political events must avoid notorious FBI Informant Brandon Darby and his close associate Cassandra Fairbanks. Given Ms. Fairbanks' long history of access to the activist community, her close association with Darby makes her a threat. Snitches like Darby love to prey on "friends" and/or exploit their networks.
Below are a handful of public statements made by Darby and Fairbanks in June of 2016.
"If you know about someone planning violence at the RNC or DNC but are afraid to tell FBI, contact me. I'll help. firstname.lastname@example.com" ~ Brandon Darby
"Informant Brandon Darby will be at the RNC. Be safe." — @cleresistrnc
"With many videographers. It will help identify your friends who commit crimes so they can be prosecuted." ~ Brandon Darby [in response to @cleresistrnc on Twitter]
"Unlike you, I'll be at the GOP protests without a mask- filming you and yours." ~Brandon Darby
"You misspelled 'honored to have worked with the FBI" ~ Brandon Darby in response to @chalkupydaytona calling him a snitch on Twitter.
"Anarchists. Stop jacking with me. Our dance didn't work out so well for you last time. I'm stronger now and your movement isn't. Leave me be." ~ Brandon Darby
Cassandra Fairbanks (@CassandraRules on Twitter) has publicly expressed her adoration of Darby and plans to spend a great deal of time at the RNC with him.
"Brandon Darby is a journalist/good person" ~ Cassandra Fairbanks (6/12/16)
"I'm sure I'll be hanging out with him at the RNC, so no need to alert anyone prior, you guys can just come say hi in person, it will be easy to do." ~Cassandra Fairbanks
"I'll be at a way cooler adult table (with Brandon and his friends). ~ Cassandra Fairbanks
"He's really a great person. People like to erase all the good he's done because of the Molotov thing…but I'm really happy I know him." ~ Cassandra Fairbanks.
"@JahbaHimself how insane y'all are acting has me adoring @brandondarbyeven more than I already did, which I didn't think was even possible" ~ Cassandra Fairbanks
"@Ergoat I don't owe you anything. @brandondarby is my friend." ~ Cassandra Fairbanks
"The apartment I got for Cleveland is within the confines of the RNC no protest zone it looks like lol" ~ Cassandra Fairbanks.
"If I was anti trump I would totally hang a banner from the window or something to protest the noprotest rule, but I'm not." ~ Cassandra Fairbanks.
Brandon Darby is a notorious FBI informant who, in 2008, directly facilitated the incarceration of two men through a diligent entrapment scheme at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. In September of 2008, the FBI arrested two men from Texas, Bradley Crowder and David McKay.
"According to the FBI's documents, Darby, posing as an activist, had been covertly gathering information for the FBI since at least February 2007, twelve months before he ever met Crowder or McKay or knew of any plans for the RNC. "As an older seasoned activist, Darby had a lot of sway over Crowder and McKay, making them susceptible to his often militant rhetoric," said Gabby Hicks, who was in St. Paul with Darby during the Convention. "He was always the one to suggest violence, when the rest of us clearly disagreed with those strategies." FBI documents make it clear that Darby did not restrict his informing to people he alleges were planning illegal activities. He also gathered information on numerous people who were engaged in lawful activism; including some who had no plans to attend the Republican Convention. "The wider net cast by Darby in his information gathering shows that he was part of an FBI campaign to suppress political dissent and activism," said Will Potter, an award-winning independent journalist. "By gathering information on law abiding activists and then defending his actions as stopping violence, Darby contributes to the public perception that political dissent is criminal, which has a chilling effect on free speech" (Austin Informant Working Group).
In addition to his work with the FBI at and before the 2008 RNC, Darby infiltrated Common Ground, a New Orleans grassroots response to Hurricane Katrina. While Common Ground was focusing on setting up a free medical clinic, cleaning and gutting homes, distributing clothes and personal hygiene products, organizing free legal services, planting gardens, and all sorts of other stuff to rebuild New Orleans, Darby was busy with often abusive and unrestrained sexual engagement with volunteers. It has been documented repeatedly that Darby's leadership role and actions led to systematic problems of sexual harassment and abuse at Common Ground. Darby's presence at Common Ground is an example of his infiltration and sabotage of a nonviolent grassroots group to serve the state. His sexual harassment directly contradicts Ms. Fairbanks history of protesting rape culture.
Obviously, Cassandra Fairbanks's close association with Darby makes her a threat to any leftist/anarchist/activist community. Ms. Fairbanks is somewhat uniquely positioned to assist Brandon Darby in his attempts to identify protesters at the RNC, as well as to attempt to match online accounts to users' real identities, should she continue to collaborate with him, which she claims she has every intention of doing.
Fairbanks has a long history of access to a national activist community, at one pointcontributed to the Twitter account @YourAnonCentral (she no longer does) and participated in many Anonymous Ops with shady anons like KYAnonymous and Commander X. In 2015, Fairbanks traveled to protest FBI informant Sabu speaking at a conference. She wore a "Fuck Sabu" shirt to show outrage at the snitch who entrapped Jeremy Hammond.
For years, Fairbanks has traveled the United States going to "Fuck The Police" protests, #BlackLivesMatter protests, Occupy Wall Street protests, Anonymous Million Mask March protests, Steubenville rape protests, and has extensively filmed and photographed protesters she then kept in contact with.
The backlog of anarchist/activist/anonymous contacts Ms. Fairbanks can now pass on to her good friend Darby, Breitbart, and law enforcement is staggering.
Ms. Fairbanks' entire career has apparently been embedding herself in radical leftist anarchist movements, which she suddenly claims she no longer cares about.
"No, I literally just don't care. None of you are my friends,@brandondarby is." ~ Cassandra Fairbanks
"I don't hang out with activists anyway." ~ Cassandra Fairbanks
Until recently, Fairbanks was an avid Bernie Sanders supporter but she's now thrown her support behind Donald Trump and will be attending the RNC as a Trump supporter and journalist andgood friend of Brandon Darby, who she adores. She currently writes for Sputnik News and recently wrote an article"Radicalized at Home: FBI Tried to Lure Orlando Shooter Into Terror Plot," for which Brandon Darby provided input.
Ms. Fairbanks now supports an American presidential candidate who cites Breitbart, a news outlet that gives NeoNazis a platform and employs a federal informant who acted as a agent provocateur. Ms. Fairbanks' support for a right-wing candidate is inconsistent and perplexing given her history as a protester tied to anarchist movements, Black Lives Matter, Anonymous and Occupy Wall Street, etc. Ms. Fairbanks' willing collaboration with a known FBI informant is most troubling, as it a) contradicts her support of Chelsea Manning, Jeremy Hammond, Black Lives Matter, and just about every social justice cause she has made a career and reputation supporting and b) betrays her former community and puts it at risk.
Fairbanks has for years belonged to a national network of anarchists, anti-police groups, citizen journalists who support protests, activists, Anonymous hacktivist protesters, Sanders supporters, and leftist protesters. Her collaboration with Darby, and her shift from an ACAB/FTP protester to an avid supporter of a right-wing candidate and good friend of an FBI informant is suspicious at face value.
Again, Ms. Fairbanks, who has numerous activist/leftist/anarchist/anonymous contacts, will be at the RNC in Cleveland, hanging out with her good friend Brandon Darby, as he films protesters with the intent to identify them to assist in their prosecution.
Ms. Fairbanks reportedly has already been identifying activists to Darby online.
Communicating with Ms. Fairbanks is dangerous. Splitting hairs between whether she is exercising her first Amendment right as a right-wing journalist or willingly collaborating with a snitch avoids responsibility for what she very clearly has already begun doing — not only adoring a snitch but assisting a snitch in identifying potential RNC protesters to have them prosecuted.
Since Darby has made his intentions to attend the RNC clear, numerous individuals have engaged @brandondarby on Twitter, and Darby is happy tokeep a log of any "threats" tweeted at him, including photographs of rat poison.
This is obvious baiting, as we know law enforcement monitors activists on Twitter. For example, documents obtained by The Intercept through a Freedom of Information Act request revealed The Department of Homeland Security's monitoring of Black Lives Matter activists' social media accounts .
Social networking posts have been used by prosecutors to call for harsher sentences on protesters, including those entrapped by law enforcement. One example is the state's use of Facebook messages in the Trial of the NATO 3. The NATO 3 (Brian Jacob Church, Brent Betterly and Jared Chase) were entrapped by undercover Chicago police officers and arrested in 2012, days before the Chicago NATO summit. They received felony convictions for possession of an incendiary device and misdemeanor mob. At the trial, the prosecution presented Facebook messages to prove terrorism and conspiracy to commit terrorism. See Kevin Gosztola's piece "'NATO 3' Trial: Prosecutors Present Facebook Messages With Little Evidence Related to Alleged Offenses"in The Dissenter.
Darby has been logging those who interact with him online, taking notes on those he deems "radical" and "anonymous," posting locations of those who oppose him and logging. The alliance between Fairbanks and Darby seems designed to agitate, intimidate leftist dissent and identify potential RNC protesters. Writing for Breitbart, Darby used Ms. Fairbanks' political video to label a Twitter user and Hillary Clinton supporter as "radical" and in contact with an account "claiming to be associated with the anonymous movement."
That Ms. Fairbanks has intimate knowledge of numerous individuals interacting with Darby online, individuals Darby deems "radical" and "dangerous" and refers to as future prisoners is alarming.
It's no secret that activists are spied on electronically and by undercover officers, private contractors, and informants. The state has long used agents to infiltrate political meetings and online spaces. Due to the often anonymous nature of online communications among activists, those in power go to great lengths to identify those voicing dissent online. Their use of agents to initiate conversations online cannot be overestimated. The FBI's physical/internet surveillance of hacktivist Jeremy Hammond is but one example.
Agents of the state work to destroy the lives of people who aren't necessarily anarchists or radicals, or contemplating violence, and there is no reason to include them in your online networks. Darby willingly worked for the FBI, and is already thoroughly unwelcome among anarchists, radicals, and activists. Though Ms. Fairbanks claims she is now simply a journalist, her history contradicts this, and regardless, her intentions do not matter. As a former activist with national contacts who is now collaborating with an agent of the state, she is a threat and should not be tolerated, just like any FBI employee, agent, informant, infiltrator, or cop who attempts to become friendly with radicals online or face to face.
Below is a statement from Jeremy Hammond, who Ms. Fairbanks has informed of her friendship with an FBI informant:
It's hard to believe Ms. Fairbanks defends a right-wing rat-bastard, but she quite clearly does.
Links below include more on Darby's history and some security culture info if you need it.

Inside the FBI Entrapment Strategy: An Analysishttp://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2012/05/29/inside-the-fbi-entrapment-strategy/
Although corrupt politicians and media worked extra hard to promote xenophobia and racism as the context through which to view the exit of Britain from the EU, the valid reasons for having exited will gradually emerge and will come as an awakening to reality by the Brits and the world.
Far from the repetitive diatribe leading the unthinking to see foreigners and migration of labour as causative of the ills workers face, and have been facing for decades, the sadly overlooked reality is far more daunting. The bankers and global elites have been aware of this issue for generations and have firmly detached themselves from any human concern essential to assisting workers and the economies of states in comprehending and working with a rapidly emerging reality… a reality in which, as the elite and bankers well know, the once needed and relied upon swarms of manufacturing labour are no longer needed.
As technologies advanced over the past 75 years, manufacturers realized increased productivity using fewer and fewer workers, diminished wage value, fewer hours and decreased benefits. Today, machines handle the larger share of production with labour providing minimal staff in programming, servicing of equipment and material handling. Even material handling is increasingly achieved mechanically.
Since the mid 1970's, job loss resulted in some retraining of workforce to serve the modernizing manufacturer. However, numerous corporations, rather than outlay capital to retool facilities for modern manufacturing techniques, decided it would be initially more cost effective to ship entire facilities to 3rd world countries and exploit not only very cheap labour but bask in the absence of humane and ecological standards existing in the once home nation. In comparison to loss, retraining was marginal and seldom afforded comparable wages. Inter-state migrations of labour occurred but soon the chase for same or similar work dissipated and service economies emerged. At the same time, factory stores.. those places where low wage workers could barely afford purchases to maintain some level of subsistence (a modern take on the once notorious "Company Store" where workers had no choice to go to purchase minimal provisions as their factory chits were only spendable within them), and employees increasingly in need of greater government aid due to pitifully low wages and short hours disallowing common benefits such as health care (in the US), sick days, leave, vacations, etc., emerged and created another conundrum… the forced denouement of the once abundant mom & pop businesses.
From this, emerged the great Ponzi economy that became so prominent and appearing prosperous. Kids were exiting colleges and heading straight to the financial arenas where they could con and otherwise scam whomever was ripe and willing. Politicians, such as Bill Clinton, were prominent architects of the Great Lie. These con artists promoted and passed into law some of the worst deregulation measures imaginable and gave free reign to the money lenders and very high stakes gamblers who perfected usury to such an extent they could make investors and borrowers feel that they were being done a grand service by allowing the manipulators to fleece them of percentages every few years. The Great Lie was the sense of security that could come from investing in things which did not actually exist. Mike Milken and Bernie Madoff are two prominent names in this era of con-artistry. Junk Bonds, non-existent investments existing on the 'take from Peter to payout to Paul" were their fortes. Too, the investment reality of the cyclical culling of tribute to the money lenders came in shorter cycles as the vaporous wealth grew at ever increasing degrees (corrections, recessions, market down-turns…)
Community colleges began tooling up the suckers with courses on how to buy and sell commodities, stocks, bonds and other "products" seen as the gold rush of the times. Risk taking was everywhere and students soon became investors and many soon became bankrupt has-beens as the teachers fleeced them a second and even a third time. The 1st time being the courses they taught and from there it was feed the suckers enough to give them a real investment bankroll, feed them an inside tip or two and then drive them to the front steps of the poor house.
Now, some of these hucksters worked small time with rube investors wanting to become players. Others, however, were deeply entrenched banksters with an eye on corporation buyouts and hostile takeovers where assets were sold for scrap and workers handed pink-slips. Still others realized they could scam other banks, cities and on to global market investments… and they did… bankrupting entire economies while buying more jets, boats, islands, high-rises etc for themselves… and, of course, greasing the wheels of all the useful tools in government who helped them along the way. Some were so bold as to even run for high office while others opted for appointments to the agencies of regulation that could internally be raped.
I've yet to mention the EU so now might be a good time. Part of a post war gambit to create a secure market in the emerging global economy, international con-artists proposed the European Union. The 1st steps in creating this "union" were the exercises of fear mongering along the lines of imagined external threats from Russia, China and anyone else who could easily be exploited as an existential enemy. Post war indebtedness of states to the banks who financed the "great wars". The aim, stated as a common desire to make wars future impossible, was a great sales pitch that required both indebtedness and fear to herd the states into acceptance of what was, in reality, a route for successful control of the European economy and peoples where Fascism had previously failed and the others, such as the Ottomans, had failed before them. The idea to form a United States of Europe was destined to fail from the start and treaty after treaty could not adequately respond to the various needs of each state and region. The only glue that continued to bind these distinctly different states (nations) was debt… as the debt became ever more centralized in the hands of secret banking cartels who, it would emerge, designed even more secret "commissions" to create the rules, regulations and laws governing the "union".
The opening of borders was not, in reality, a means to offer greater employment opportunity (loudly promoted even to this defining moment in the history of the EU). Recall that these banksters and industrialists had long foreseen the inevitable end of usefulness for the majority of the working class. The true purpose was homogenization and eventual de-culturization of the masses into an amorphous blob of drones beholden to the corporate nation, "EU". In time, the hope was that their allegiance would shift from their homelands to the new land called the "EU". This, it was thought (most incorrectly) would end centuries of nominal enclaves of ethnic and religious nationalism. Further homogenization, it is believed, would come from the massive redistribution of refugees exiting the Middle East and African war zones.
Far from putting an end to wars, the EU marched in support of more wars… just not within its own borders. The capturing of Middle Eastern/African nations.. or investment in the wars that would insure this… wars committed by the US and pseudo-EU member, UK, along with Middle East terrorist nations such as Israel and KSA… were desirable for economic expansion necessary to continue financing the schemes of the EU con-artists. And, importantly, war would provide jobs, as such, for thousands of otherwise useless drones (one problem with this is that some of these drones would join the "wrong" armies [by the EU perspective] and would, in some instances, return to the EU to enact punishment against it.
Hucksters come to the EU in droves as the income from wars grows. The market con-men begin selling junk.. and loads of it… to nations within the EU. Instability occurs and debt grows. Interest becomes impossible to cover and so phony structures set up, ostensibly, to alleviate this issue step in and offer even more irrational loans adding further debt and more interest. Austerity .. or the destruction of all socialist benefits to the masses… are required to end before these further debilitating loans can be applied. Planned destruction of national economies begins as a route to creation of the total EU economy controlled by a select few un-elected tyrants of industry and finance. Calls begin for a European Monetary Fund or Federal Treasury. Proof enough.
It is, then, a fact that right wing parties promoted the exit from EU through their political lenses fraught with racism and xenophobia. Those negative qualities did not, however, emanate from thin air. There has always been racism and xenophobia among the ignorant and selfish and their numbers historically rise and fall. It is a failure of educators to counter inherited and promoted negatives with clear explanations, truthful explanations, of reality and a despicable tool of politicians to promote and exploit this very undesirable inheritance. It is also a fact that such expressions have so very little to do with the realities of the EU and its exploitation of European nations for the benefit of the banksters and corporatists, who, by the way, have become so lofty in their sense of self that it is now beneath them to contribute a fair share towards their own creation. They exist, now, only to take.
Rather than take an honest appraisal of the imminent failure of the EU, the stakeholders and puppet media expectedly embark upon the blame game, pointing to the racists and xenophobes (who they were instrumental in arousing) and to Russia's Putin, who had virtually nothing to do with either the corruption or failure of the EU. It just sells the news to go this direction as opposed to helping the masses understand important realities.
While many voted to exit based upon media fed false perceptions artfully crafted by corrupt politicians, so did many vote to remain based upon equally false perceptions. The unfortunate outcome from this is that, while the right decision may have come from errant perception, getting through the consequences will be nigh impossible if some truth does not make its way to the surface and the UK fails to respond with feasible and prudent care for itself and its people.
One of the first steps should be a bold national decision to collect due taxes from corporations and elitists. There is enough out there to significantly help move the nation forward. An unencumbered national basic income and living wage should be established with all other social services factored in the amount of such income. Once accomplished, job sharing becomes a very real safeguard for the future and a healthy step toward alleviating false theft of jobs perceptions. Making a very real commitment toward ending the reliance on war economy also needs to happen. as does putting end to the allowing of financial hucksters to continue falsifying economies.
A very real outcome of such an effort is the setting of example for the rest of the EU which will, inevitably, collapse in the very near future.
ISM is looking for media interns to come and join us in Palestine. This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring journalists or media workers to engage directly with the Palestinian struggle and to utilise and enhance their existing skills to humanize the voice of the struggle by reporting on events ranging from anti-occupation demonstrations to house raising demolitions.
The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a Palestinian-led movement
committed to resisting the Israeli occupation in Palestine by using nonviolent,
direct-action methods and principles. Founded by a small group of primarily
Palestinian and Israeli activists in August 2001, ISM aims to support and strengthen
the Palestinian popular resistance by providing the Palestinian people with two
resources, international solidarity and an international voice.
You will be based in the West Bank, experienced and interested activists may be
placed in Gaza. Apart from gaining reporting and photography experience, you will
also be networking with existing media outlets and develop skills during media
meetings on reporting the occupation of Palestine. ISM is seeking a minimum 3
month commitment, and will provide accommodation during your stay.
ISM is a non-hierarchical solidarity movement. Consequently, you will not be
treated as a classical intern but rather as a fellow voluntary member of the activist
group. In this role you will establish contacts with local Palestinian and international media and help to define the ISM media strategy.
In order to apply please email email@example.com with the following information:
1. Please send in any relevant information about yourself and experience or
background you may have in reporting and journalism.
2. Express why you are applying for this voluntary internship and what you
hope to gain from it.
Did you know only 43 states allow write in candidate votes to actually be counted?
From a blogger friend of mine, Ms. JoAnn Chateau ….hipped me up on write in voting….
Just a bit of clarification on why write-in votes might not be counted: Write-in candidates must register with each state that allows write-in votes (about 43, and the deadline dates and requirements vary from state to state) Votes for aregistered write-in candidate are counted (barring election fraud).
Although a write-in candidate is not entitled to ballot placement, he or she may still be required to file paperwork in order to have his or her votes tallied (or to be eligible to serve should the candidate be elected). In 35 states, a write-in presidential candidate must file some paperwork in advance of an election. In seven states, write-in voting for presidential candidates is not permitted. The remaining…

The world, today, pays tribute to a man who, beyond being one of the greatest boxers and showmen of all times.. a man who brought the sport out of the dingy gyms and into the living rooms of millions.. was uniquely individual in standing up for himself and for his convictions, the oppressed and downtrodden, family and faith, love and compassion, for right and for rights and for the raising up of the human spirit through every thing he did and tried to do throughout his life.
Muhammed Ali was a cocky young man who conquered the world of Boxing by the age of 22. He began his career training from age 12. A vision and focus that was to propel him to become the World Heavyweight Champion against the formidable Sonny Liston in 1964. Ali became, at that time, the youngest Boxer to ever take that title from a reigning heavyweight champion. Floyd Patterson attained the title at age 21, however, the champ, Rocky Marciano, had already retired. Years later, Mike Tyson would take the tile at age 20.
Ali did not become Muhammed Ali until a few days after this epic bout. He was born, and initially boxed under, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. He and his younger brother, Rudy, were attracted to the "Black Muslims" when Ali was about age 18, much to the dissatisfaction of his father, Cassius Sr. Ali began studying Islam and became a faithful Muslim taking, initially, the name Cassius X (The name, Clay, being considered a "slave name") before formally announcing his membership with the Nation of Islam and his new name, Muhammed Ali.
I recall the excitement of that 1964 bout with Liston and how Ali instantly came to fame. Prior to this bout, he had some less than spectacular fights and controversial decisions. He was heavily defined as the underdog, both by media and the bookies, going into his bout with Liston. The cockiness he displayed prior would soon come to be a signature attraction where it was once the focus of disdain.
"Clay comes out to meet Liston and Liston starts to retreat, If Liston goes back an inch farther he'll end up in a ringside seat. Clay swings with a left, Clay swings with a right, Just look at young Cassius carry the fight. Liston keeps backing but there's not enough room, It's a matter of time until Clay lowers the boom. Then Clay lands with a right, what a beautiful swing, And the punch raised the bear clear out of the ring. Liston still rising and the ref wears a frown, But he can't start counting until Sonny comes down. Now Liston disappears from view, the crowd is getting frantic But our radar stations have picked him up somewhere over the Atlantic. Who on Earth thought, when they came to the fight, That they would witness the launching of a human satellite. Hence the crowd did not dream, when they laid down their money, That they would see a total eclipse of Sonny."
It had only been a few months earlier, in late November, when the world was struck by the assassination of President Kennedy. The depression which had settled upon so many after that moment in time began to lift somewhat as a nation turned its gaze toward the rise of Muhammed Ali. His youth and vitality, his passion and flare and even his cocky humour had an effect which brought hope out from hiding. At least, for some of us.
"People don't realize what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy, there was no one like him, the Beatles, and my man Elvis Presley. I was the Elvis of boxing."
It was a time of great frustration and anger over racial divides in the US. A mere 18 months post the Ali triumph, the US would see the devastation from the Watts Riots. For Ali, the realization of how quickly tides can turn came with the threats to cancel the boxing match because of Ali's association with Malcolm X and affiliation with the Nation of Islam (Malcolm had been removed from the Nation at that time but was Ali's chosen spiritual advisor. Malcolm agreed to distance himself from pre-publicity events but not the actual match.) … and then a few days post with announcement of his name change. The media were rabid in their attacks against the Nation, and against Ali. The level of vitriol from supremacists and a growing cadre of ignorant young followers was deafening. Ali, steadfast in the awareness of who he was and was becoming, used humour, wisdom and faith to respond. Without regard for the type of publicity it would bring, he responded to reporters with brashness and mocking humour, often catching them off guard, exposing their racism, and generally showing them up to be the fools that they were. Martin Luther King Jr. , displaying his own bias and misunderstanding, chastised Ali for his association with Malcolm and with the NOI, calling him the "champion of racial segregation".
"I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want."
Three years later, in 1967, Ali would again stand up for himself and his beliefs.. and at great cost to his career. Faced with the draft, Ali announced that he would refuse conscription as a conscientious objector to the illegal and racist war in Vietnam. Cheered on by those of us who, by that time, had begun our "radicalism" and joined anti-war movements.. and jeered by those who thought "patriotism" meant running off to kill people (who never harmed, nor intended harm to, any American) just because the government said so. Ali would be arrested, charged with evasion and stripped of his rightfully earned title. His appeals traveled all the way to the Supreme Court where his conviction was, in 1971, overturned. Still, the media attacked him and he was shunned by many opportunities which otherwise would have presented. He lost nearly four prime years of his career as a boxer yet remained focused and determined: enough that he would go on to win the title a second time in 1974 and again for an unprecedented 3rd time in 1978.
The road to return was not without more difficulties for Ali who remained in control of himself and his future in his chosen career. Claims of mob involvement in fixing fights and investigations by FBI and Senate committees as well having a ban placed on his boxing by one of two boxing commissions and the refusal of venues based either upon his association with NOI or his conscription refusal did not stop Ali. He came out on top again and again and showed the world that they could not beat him.
After a falling out with the NOI which was experiencing considerable inner turmoil, Ali converted to Sunni Muslim practice and took a break from boxing. Later, in 2005, Ali would begin practice in Sufism. It was 1975 and Ali had recently gone through a string of matches where he took considerable punches and a number of troubling injuries. Ali would come back again to win his 3rd crown but his health was showing signs of deterioration. His kidneys were damaged, gate and voice had begun to falter and a tremor had begun to show in his hands. He resisted calls to retire, loosing a manager in the process but announced retirement in 1997. It was short lived and he fought again in 1980 against Larry Holmes. The fight was stopped in the 11th round. Ali did not win. He fought one more time approximately a year later in a 10 round decision to Trevor Berbick.
Ali continued to remain active and outspoken. In 1984, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, said to have been caused by the many head punches he had taken over the years.Undaunted, he would become an ambassador, of sorts, traveling to Iraq, where he attempted to negotiate the release of prisoners in a meeting with Saddam Hussein, and Afghanistan among other countries and regions. He lit the torch for the 1996 Summer Olympics and was the flag bearer in the 2012 opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics. He would go on to meet and greet dignitaries from around the globe representing peace and human rights.
Some may recall an earlier "retirement" in 1974 when Ali traveled to the Middle East. Ever outspoken, Ali would, while in Beirut, proclaim, "the United States is the stronghold of Zionism and imperialism." Visiting two Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Ali would announce, "In my name and the name of all Muslims in America, I declare support for the Palestinian struggle to liberate their homeland and oust the Zionist invaders.
"Showing the ultimate in rebel spirit, in 1985, Ali traveled to Israel in an attempt to gain freedom for 100's of Lebanese and Palestinians captured during the occupation of a portion of Lebanon.
"I've made my share of mistakes along the way, but if I have changed even one life for the better, I haven't lived in vain."
Today, people in Palestine and throughout the Middle East are expressing their celebration of the life and works of Muhammed Ali… and mourning his passing.

"I don't give a shit about your dog. You pay us in full by the end of the day or report here with your clothes… home confinement is done. If you don't show… you're a fugitive."
With these words Katasha R. Artis, the dramatically under trained ex jock who serves as the Director of the GEO halfway house that I called home for some 10 weeks after being released from the Federal prison camp at Canaan, slammed the phone down; discussion done. As I had learned over the previous 10 weeks, that's the way Ms. Artis — a former WNBA player and junior college coach — runs the house; the way she deals with its staff and residents.

Fear and hatred bring the colonialists to suppress truth. At all cost, the lie that is Israel must be maintained… unless, like this passionate young lady, we rise up against the lie and let our voices be heard no matter what the initial consequence. She may have been removed from the competition but the takeaway is that her reach has been broadened as a result of this attempt to silence her.
Leanne Muhamad, a student at Wanstead High School who is British-Palestinian, won the "Speak out" challenge after giving this impressive performance to enthusiastic applause. But one day later, following complaints published on the blog of extremist anti-Palestinian activist Edgar Davidson, Leanne will no longer be sent through to the grand final of the public speaking competition. It seems that giving a personal account of the Nakba and a plea for end to discrimination against Palestinians is not acceptable in the UK in 2016. Once Leane's win was retracted, the video was removed from the Speak Out Challenge website and Youtube channel, but we have retrieved a copy below.
The Speak Out Challenge is described by its organisers thus: "In each one-day workshop, students take part in games and exercises to encourage them to think on their feet in a fun, interactive and safe environment. The day culminates in a "Speak Out" speech contest where students can speak…

wingbert replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand RapidsInteresting article: The Next Big Challenge for Small Downtowns An excerpt which isn't specifically about GR but hits close to home - "Civic centers, government hubs, tourism and entertainment districts, and educational and medical clusters are all great things; they're an important part of what makes downtowns tick. But commerce—true private sector commerce—is the beating heart of a downtown. Because economies are dynamic, cities can't simply rely on legacy employers to fill this role. They must always be creating new industries and new firms. After making great progress rebuilding the architectural, cultural, touristic, entertainment, and residential life of these downtowns, this is the next challenge for these smaller cities."
There were those that said the Arena wouldn't be a catalyst for revival in the Heartside either. They said it was going to be a big waste of money.
eh... my younger self would've probably lived there.
wingbert replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand RapidsThe much ballyhooed diverging diamond at Cascade Rd and 96 is still a congested mess. Because of course it is. The 5 stoplights in approximately a quarter mile stretch on Cascade road is one epic fail. Plus, the money spent on the diverging diamond would've been better spent extending the long on-ramp from Cascade onto WB 96. Take it all the way until it joins the third lane from Fulton to the 96/196 split.
When you have to resort to cursing you might just as well concede you've lost the argument.
If the old Heidi Christine's, Grand River Grocery and a bank branch are your definition of crappy and deserving of demolition then there's going to be plenty of work for Pitsch for years to come from Ada to Cascade to EGR. In reality, those buildings weren't so much unsalvageable as they were in the way of someone's vision. And for those keeping score at home, the occupancy of the strip mall has actually been solid for the last several years (Zeytin, Spoonlickers, Vitales, eye doctor, McDonalds) but your comment about restaurant of the week makes my point. Are you saying that a fancier looking building with higher rent is going to solve that issue in this downtown? The Mud Room did well for years in a "shoddy outbuilding on the perimeter of the strip mall". Now they are at Knapp's Corner. The Thornapple Grill building might've been a little old so hey, let's tear it down. We'll build an amphitheater on the river because the one between the Amway Grand and Devos Place downtown has been such a raging success. And no, I'm not fixated on the liquor store. The point is that the liquor store is emblematic of the fallacy at the core of this whole concept. The idea that you can fake your way into being a quaint boutique town. At the first opportunity in the new Ada, were art galleries and high-end clothiers fighting for that space? Now, you're already seeing the future of Ada with Cheri's ice cream shop. I fear it's just going to be a bunch of Amway family-owned boutiques operating at break-even (at best) opening to fill empty storefronts and give the appearance of vibrancy along with some service businesses (Dr. Norman, the eye doctor, the State Farm guy). And then, who is going to invest in a retail business when you know you will be competing with people who don't have to turn a profit? Like I said before, I hope I'm wrong.
Not to go too far off track but I drive through Ada nearly every day. It may fill up with all the fancy things you mention but the majority will fail. It will not become the next Rockford or Saugatuck. There is only one reason for all the changes and that is to create a Potemkin village to assist Amway in making an impression on visitors and helping them when they are recruiting people from other large CPG companies. For example, the Clever Ewe closed up and no fancy boutique or salon moved in. Instead, the eye doctor from the strip mall is moving there. Before it was the Clever Ewe, that location was an art gallery. And speaking of Ada Liquor, where was the boutique or salon clamoring for that location on the historic side of Thornapple when it became available? Instead, we got a liquor store. I certainly hope you are right and I am wrong.
Meh. Not sure where the "bunch" of crappy buildings were located. And sure, the strip mall wasn't a gem, but I'll reserve judgement for a few years. It will be interesting to see if chasing away longtime businesses from the downtown, building faux historic buildings, and raising rents will result in any actual growth/vibrancy in downtown Ada. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping it turns out OK, but when the newest addition is Ada Liquor... is that a good sign? What's next, a couple of vaping shops and a Boost Mobile?
Look how Hudsonville has become the sin city of the midwest since the blue laws were eliminated. The crime and alcohol-fueled criminal activity, not to mention the rampant whoring have ruined that town for the god-fearing folk who used to call it home.
wingbert replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand RapidsI swear, this obsession with brown and beige in Grand Rapids is starting to get depressing. Let's see some creativity.
Are you talking about the old original Ada or the new Disney-fied Ada brought to you by the good folks at Amway?
wingbert replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand RapidsPersonally, I still like a bit of the originality of some of the early designs better than this safe and homogenized look they settled on.
wingbert replied to GRGridGirl's topic in Grand RapidsI think it's a great spot for a Dollar General.
So the NOCO Provisions is looking pretty close to complete. Quite a transformation from the old Forest Hills Inn.

The amount of money Australians expect to hold in their super accounts upon retirement is falling, according to a survey, with Baby Boomers expecting to retire with only $309,077 on average.
According to the RaboDirect Financial Health Barometer, Baby Boomers in 2015 expected to retire with only $309,077, compared with 2014 when they expected their balance would be $452,310 upon retirement, and 2012 when they expected to retire with $514,798.
Expectations have also declined among Gen X and Y. The expected super balance among Gen Y has fallen 13 per cent from $514,798 in 2012 and eight per cent from $462,444 in 2012 for Gen X.
The research also revealed that respondents from the 2015 survey felt they needed less money to retire on compared with previous surveys.
"Our research shows that in 2012 Gen Y said they'd need $784,421 to retire on, but this figure fell 14 per cent in 2015. Gen X said they'd need $875,253 to retire on in 2012, but only $844,396 in 2015 – a drop of four per cent," said RaboDirect.
The figure also dropped for Baby Boomers who said they'd need $785,769 in 2015, down 13 per cent from 2012.
The research indicated that confidence in the financial advice process is also slipping.
"In 2015, 29 per cent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they trusted financial advice down from 40 per cent in 2014. The average score across the five years was 31 per cent," the survey said.
It also indicated the number of people making voluntary superannuation contributions fell between 2013 and 2015, particularly among Gen X and the Baby Boomer groups.
"In 2014, 33 per cent of Gen X and 27 per cent of Baby Boomers had made voluntary contributions: in 2015 these figures fell to 24 per cent and 21 per cent respectively," said the survey.

Correlations between various inbred lines and their single cross progeny consistently indicated that very little dominance is expressed in the inheritance of either oil or protein percentage of the corn kernel. Slight dominance of both high-oil and high-protein percentage was indicated.
Pollen germinated and tubes entered the style within 5 minutes after pollination of common oats, Avena sativa. The tube passed between cells of the conducting tissue near the center of style and into the ovary. The male generative nuclei were near the egg nucleus and polar nuclei within 30 minutes. Within 4 hours the male gamete had entered the egg. The fertilized egg was in prophase 13.5 hours after pollination and a two-celled proembryo was observed 19 hours after pollination.
More organic sulfur than inorganic sulfate was contained in the surface horizons of a Durham and Marlboro soil. In the lower horizons there was an accumulation of sulfate in both soils. On the Durham soil sulfur deficiencies were exhibited. by cotton and tobacco early in the growing season. Only cotton gave a response to additions of gypsum. Cotton and soybeans removed considerably more sulfur than tobacco or corn. Availability of soil sulfur was evaluated by use of yield of sulfur Curves
Oat yields were increased more than corn yields when residue from legumes grown in a 3-year rotation with these crops was returned to a reddish prairie soil in central Oklahoma. However, the average production of corn over a 24-year period was higher than the average production of oats. Although seasonal rainfall in this area is more favorable for oats than for corn, soil temperature is more favorable for rapid decomposition of organic matter when corn is growing rapidly than when oats is making its most rapid growth. Consequently, a higher soil fertility level is needed for the maximum production of oats than for corn under the climatic environment that prevails in this sub-humid region.
Sub-surface (drilled) placement of ammonium nitrogen produced better growth and yields of lowland rice than similar nitrogen applied on the soil surface (broadcast). Nitrogen content of rice plants and percentage recovery of the applied nitrogen also increased. Ammonium nitrogen drilled 2 to 4 inches into the soil, where reducing conditions developed 3 to 5 days after flooding, remained in the soil and was available to lowland rice. Surface nitrogen, applied by broadcast methods, did not promote the best growth of rice. Losses of surface applied nitrogen apparently occurred through processes of nitrification and subsequently denitrification.
The relative availability of Ca, Mg, K, P, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mo and B to corn was compared between two soils by ratios of the corn ear leaf composition and by ratios found for the extractable soil nutrients. The effect of added minor element sources on the ear leaf composition was studied in the field. Nutrient changes were statistically evaluated. Significant B — Ca, B — Mg, B — Mo and Zn — Mn relationships were found with the intensity dependent on the source. Minor element nutrients in the leaves were increased by adding soluble and moderately soluble sources when the available supply in the soil was low.
The application of ground limestone in every instance resulted in significant increases in the yields of corn and wheat. The yields of corn and wheat following soybeans were much lower than those following the other legumes. Lespedeza compared very favorably with the clovers. The yields in all cases tended to increase throughout the duration of the experiment. Except for a decrease on the plots on which soybeans were grown for hay, soil nitrogen was maintained at, or near, the original level.
White clover, grown without added sulfur, was reduced in yield on 3 Southeastern soils at the third cutting and on all 7 soils at the fifth cutting. A seventh cutting produced extremely sulfur-deficient clover which was lower in nitrogen content and had a wider S:N ratio than clover which received sulfur. Methionine and cystine were decreased in dry matter. The nutritive value of the protein in the sulfur-deficient clover was maintained in terms of methionine but cystine was reduced.
Substantial reduction of the variety-location interaction affecting genotypic progress resulted from proper subdivision of Iowa into subregions, following a procedure described herein. For example, optimum subdivision into four parts resulted in a reduction of 30%. Implications with respect to a breeding program were briefly discussed. The data involved 9 locations, 5 years and oat varieties previously selected for wide adaptability.
The undergraduate seminar in agronomy at the University of Maryland has been divided into two phases. One phase consists of individual presentations of current agronomic topics with liberal provisions for critical discussions and class analyses of the presentations. In the other portion of the seminar, career opportunities, including those associated with graduate work, have been discussed with representatives of industry, government, and the University.
Highest yields of birdsfoot trefoil were obtained when harvested at 1/10 bloom. Yields were lower when cut at 3 inches height as compared with 1 inch. Cutting at 1 inch height and 20 day intervals for 2 seasons reduced plant population.
The percent of protein and minerals declined with maturity but maintained relatively high levels at maturity. Notable exceptions occurred in the decline of P, K, and Ca with maturity.
F3 F4, BC S1, BC S2, and other populations which segregated for the characters branched raceme and vestigial flower were studied. Gene symbols A, Br, Ra, and Ra' were proposed for genes conditioning branched raceme. The symbols D, V. F, and F' were proposed for genes conditioning vestigial flower. A. Br. D, and V were assumed to be inherited in a tetrasomic manner with chromosome segregation. Ra and Ra' were assumed to behave as duplicate disomic genes as were F and F'
Increases in soil temperature accelerated rate of emergence, rate of growth, and promoted earliness in corn. Corn growth rates approximately followed the Van't Hoff law, the Q10° c. of that law being from 2.0 to 2.8 for the average temperature range tested, 60° to 80° F. Corn yields appeared to increase with increases in soil temperature up to a point and then decreased with further increases in soil temperature. The most favorable soil temperature at the 4-inch depth for corn growth in central Iowa appears to be about 75° F.
Susceptibility to stalk lodging was positively associated with ash, cellulose, potash, and silica but was not associated with susceptibility to Diplodia zeae or Gibberella zeae. Diplodia was negatively associated with ash, crude fiber, lignin, and cellulose but was positively associated with nitrogen. Gibberella was similarly associated except no relation with ash or lignin was found.
Effects of 0, 80, and 160 pounds nitrogen per acre on forage production and percentage crude protein of eight seeded grass species and varieties in a high altitude meadow near Pinedale, Wyoming were studied. Coinmon, Lincoln and Manchar bromegrass, orchardgrass, timothy, intermediate wheatgrass, meadow foxtail and Reed canarygrass were studied. Variations in species and variety response to nitrogen were noted. However, significant increases in forage production and percentage crude protein were obtained for all eight grasses.

For the fifth consecutive year, breast cancer survivors and advocates will band together to create Holiday House, a holiday-themed Designer Show House benefiting breast cancer awareness and research, which will run from October 25-November 18 at the historic limestone mansion at 2 East 63rd Street in Manhattan.
For the first time, this event will benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which was founded by Evelyn Lauder in 1993 and continues to be a leader in the fight against breast cancer. Acting Chairman of BCRF Leonard Lauder says of the support of BCRF this year. "My wife, Evelyn, with her wonderful eye for beauty, would have been delighted by this event. We look forward to a very successful show house which will fuel BCRF's ability to continue to fund the most promising research around the world."
Holiday House will feature original room and tabletop settings by renowned designers. There will be over 25 participating designers, including Eric Cohler, Campion Platt, Stephanie Odegard, Vicente Wolf and more.

Alexa Hampton will be Design Chair.
Alexa Hampton
Stephen Fanuka will be the Honorary Contractor and Sara Gore, host of Open House NYC will be the Honorary Chair for Opening Night. Participating companies include Baccarat, Hermès, Leviev, and Lladro. Traditional Home magazine is supporting the event for the third year as a media partner.
Many of those involved with Holiday House have a personal experience with breast cancer. Iris Dankner, founder of Holiday House, is a 15-year survivor who created the event to join her passion for interior design with her fight against this deadly disease. "When I realized that there were no major events in the interior design industry in New York City benefitting women's issues and yet so many accomplished women in the field, I was inspired to take on this project. I'm so proud of what we've accomplished in five years and that we are now contributing to such an important charity as BCRF."
On October 24th 2012, Holiday House's Opening Night Cocktail Celebration will be the kickoff to an array of many exciting events including: Author's Night hosted by Monacelli Press and Mother & Daughter Day, a panel discussion featuring female leaders in the interior design industry and events dedicated to young designers.
Moscow 57 will again bring an eclectic elegance to the house's courtyard café with a delicious menu featuring fresh baked goods, salads and sandwiches, a daily Russian Central Asian tea service and special nights featuring a worldly mix of live musical performances.
"We are not just creating a decorator show house but a celebratory experience for our visitors, a perfect pairing of style and fun to welcome in the holiday season while supporting BCRF's mission to achieve prevention and find a cure for breast cancer," says founder Iris Dankner.

Peace Pajamas and Patrick, the last three Sundays in August (August 13, 20, 27) from 5:00-7:00 PM. **Please note the date change.** We will gather for a meal, experience the Saint Patrick's Dinner Theater and then break into groups (children, youth and adults) to explore some of the stories of Abraham. All ages are invited and encouraged to attend, nursery will be available.
Let these Sunday evenings compliment Sunday mornings! Come back to St. Pat's (in your pajamas!) enjoy dinner, fellowship, Bible study and Compline. You will be home early and ready for the busy week ahead!
All three Sunday package (Family $75; Individuals $30). Single Sunday tickets (Family $30; Individual $10). ** Please register so we can prepare! Gluten free and vegetarian options are offered.
Tickets will be available in the Narthex (entrance to the church) on Sundays after the 10:30 a.m. liturgy.
**Please note: money should not be a barrier! Scholarships are joyously available. Contact Mother Julia for scholarship information.
Christian Formation for Children
Children are an important part of the St. Patrick's community.
Christian formation begins in our bright and newly painted nursery! Children through age four are welcomed at 8:45 a.m., giving parents time to get a cup of coffee before adult classes begin. The nursery is available through the 10:30a.m. service however all children are welcome in the sanctuary. We offer a Cry Room for those times when little ones need more space to move around. Contact Becky Beal for more information.
Christian Formation for School Age Children
The curriculum we have chosen is "Living the Good News" which is an Episcopal curriculum with lessons based on the Lectionary, usually the Gospel reading. The lessons and activities are appropriate to the maturity of the child. The Liturgy of the Word will then be familiar as it is read again during the service. When all members of the family have been exposed to the same lesson, a basis for further discussion during the week is established!
We are excited to have our Director of Music, Chad Watkins, develop the musical talents of our children.
Our Preschool, Kindergarten, first, and second graders will meet in room 4A, look for the Alleluia banner. They will have the lesson, activities, music and will be able to retell favorite stories using the Godly Play manipulatives. Plan to bring them from 9:00-10:15 a.m. for this lovely morning of sharing God's love.
Our third and fourth graders will meet in room 8, look for the Agape banner. They will use the "Living the Good News" curriculum which is based on the Lectionary and appropriate for their maturity level. This curriculum comes with activities which are engaging and thought provoking and will allow families to continue these discussions during the week.
Club 56 is for fifth and sixth graders as they prepare to move into our youth program. The teachers find fun 'field trips' around church as part of the lesson from Living the Good News. The curriculum uses the gospel reading for the day and the children explore scripture and relate it to everyday life.
We invite all children to join us from 9:00 – 10:15 a.m. for this fun and engaging learning process at St. Patrick's.
