Speech: Harawira - Ngati Whatua Ki Orakei Settlement
Press Release
Ngati Whatua Ki Orakei Settlement: Third Reading Speech
Hone Harawira
MANA Leader and Member of Parliament for Te Tai Tokerau
Thursday 15 November 2012
E te Mema Paremata o Takaparawha, ki a koe e Joe, tena koe, koe anoki e Grant, hakoa kei hea koe e noho ana, tena hoki ra, koutou ano e oku whanaunga i haere tawhiti mai i Orakei, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
Today is a very special day for Ngati Whatua ki Orakei, today is your day, and while I am happy to speak off the cuff whenever I am out in public, today I refer to my notes because I want to enter into the parliamentary record just a few of the many special memories I will always have of Bastion Point.
And Joe said I had to
start with the Orakei Maori Action Committee – JOE, GRANT,
ROGER, MIKE, COLIN – who ran the biggest ever Maori land
occupation in recent history and had the truly unenviable
task of trying to hold together the wildly divergent and
often demented ravings of Albanian-aligned Communists and
Trotskyist Socialists, and Stalinist hardliners and Mao Tse
Tung fanatics, and Christians and atheists, and vegans and
vegetarians, and guys straight out of jail and kids straight
out of school, and housewives and farmers, and Maoris
who'd never done anything like this before and Pakehas
who'd never worked with Maoris before, and our brothers
and sisters of the Pacific, and Aboriginals and Native
Americans, and musicians and lawyers, and singers and
actors, and labourers and doctors – such was the
ever-changing family of Bastion Point,
And behind the scenes PATU and RENE and RACHEL who made sure the Action Committee did what they told them to do,
Old man EDDIE HAWKE who quietly made sure all the real work got done while the chiefs were pontificating and the young bloods were preening,
AUNTY PIUPIU, AUNTY HOPE and all the kuia who kept us safe,
SHARON, KATARAINA, MEI-MERI, BETTY SIO & LINDA TANOA'I, the girls from AGGS who'd come straight to the Point in their school uniforms,
JOANNIE and a life ended all too soon,
JOHN DENVER coming up to jam with the locals and all the other bands who gave us joy,
Getting blasted every night by WILLIE WILSON, the little man with the big voice (I was gonna say big mouth but he'd probably hear about it and come bash me) Willie Wilson - a hard-line communist back in the day who's now a preacher for the lord,
And while I'm talkin' about preachers, TOM HERANGI the pistol packin' preacher from Tainui,
And MATT TARAWA, the singing Mormon who liked to belt out My Way, but his way, and was always draggin' his poor kids up on stage to sing and help raise money for the occupation,
One of the women coming out of the toilets one night and shining a spotlight on the cops who were trying to crawl into the camp and screaming at them to "F OFF" and everyone watching these silly policemen scatter down the hill like rabbits, tripping over themselves in the dark, and being hounded by raucous laughter from all the men, and dire predictions from all the women,
That image of AMA RAUHIHI up on the watchtower with Rangitoto in the background,
AUSSIE BOB and his pushbike generator,
DAVID WILLIAMS and his incredibly boring legal dissertations,
DIANE PRINCE, winner of the Bastion Point porridge competition,
DILWORTH, SAM, REX and the rest of the RAT PATROL for their hilarious night time antics, guarding the Point and teasing the cops,
TAME ITI, TITEWHAI HARAWIRA, SYD JACKSON, BETTY WILLIAMS, DUNN MIHAKA, EVA RICKARD – teachers you couldn't help but learn from … and teachers you didn't dare disagree with,
And TIM SHADBOLT … what a guy – the man with a million dollar smile and a million different stories, gallantly defending his niece one dark night, and being handed a blade and challenged to fight for his life and her honour, TIM will be forever grateful to ZENA TAMANUI for stepping in and slapping down her blood-thirsty relations from the north,
And KINGI TANGIRA from Karetu, a true bender of reality with so many stories about his life, that if you added them all together, he would have had to have been 127 years old,
And ZENA and the rest of WHAKAHOU of course, the effervescent, witty and intelligent young Polynesians from Otara, quick with a smile and quicker with a song,
JIMMY O'DEA, the stubborn Irishman from Kupe St with an accent and a commitment to justice that have refused to bend over the years,
SONNY WARU and his 'tempestuous winds of circumstance'
MERATA MITA and her "Day 507" doco,
DOC (never knew what his real name was) and his little mutt Bastion,
ROGER FOWLER up on the roof of the whare telling everyone to stay calm and Bastion running around behind him yappin' his head off,
Marching into town for our court cases with ALEC and having to tell everyone to "get off the footpath, we march on the road!"
Listening to BEN DALTON blister the courtroom with a heavy, heavy korero in Maori, and laughing at the judge demanding a translation, from a shocked and shaking and red-faced translator, who simply could not bring herself to give the true translation and simply stammered "I … I think he's pleading not guilty your honour"
HONE KAA for driving his congregation crazy when he used to let us come and stay at Tatai Hono while the court cases were on,
Jamming up the courthouse with hundreds of defendants, and hundreds more supporters, and driving the courts mad with our chanting, and our singing, and our hakaz, and forcing them to throw most of the charges out,
And standing on the picket outside Mt Eden jail to see our brother have to come out because his snoring was driving the whole remand wing mental.
Ngati Whatua ki Orakei, koutou kua tae mai i tēnei ra – you have done so much in such a very short time for so many, and today you carry the hopes and dreams not only for your mokopuna, but for the tens of thousands of urban Maori, who look to you for a lead in how to act in Tamaki Makaurau.
On behalf of those who were privileged to be there in support of your stand, on behalf of a generation who were seeking a place in a crazy world, on behalf of the 222 who got arrested on May 25th 1978, and those like Hilda and Sharon who got arrested again and again in support of the kaupapa - I say thank you.
It was through your actions in occupying Bastion Point, the stand you took in reclaiming that place we later came to know as Takaparawha and then Takaparawhau, the commitment you made to win back your land, and the heavy, heavy losses that you sustained and that nobody else will ever feel as deeply as those of you who call Orakei home – it is from all of that that we drew strength, and energy, and knowledge, and courage, to carry the fight for land rights, to other places in Aotearoa, and to other lands throughout the world.
BASTION POINT was a haven in the heart of Polynesia's largest city and our classroom in Maori Politics 101;
And who can forget Shadbolt and his wonderful poem …
You who spend 5 minutes voting every 3 years and call it democracy,
Have you got 5 minutes to spare, to hear the story of our home …
It's called AROHANUI"
Dismantled out at Wiri, trucked to the Point by staunch unionists, and rebuilt as a whare of real warmth and shelter, with all her humble little dwellings around her, a marae that lived and breathed 24 hours a day and sometimes more, AROHANUI saw the birth of some, sheltered the pain and joy of many, and provided a final resting place for Joanne.
AND YOU - e te whanau o Ngati Whatua ki Orakei - you gave us a chance to learn and to teach, to challenge and to be challenged, to cop flak and to come back for more, to sing together and to cry together, and today you have come to this house to reclaim a very, very small part of your history.
Ngati Whatua ki Orakei – today, in honour of those who have passed on, and those of you who are left to carry on the struggle, today we thank you, today we honour you, and today we wish you strength for the many years to come.
We are
the people of the land,
Through troubled times we will stand,
The sun will shine through cloudy skies
And brighten our pathway as we unite for our land

London: Cameron Diaz has said that girls should not be called pretty, as by saying this the idea that the most important thing for them is to look good is being reinforced on them.
Cameron Diaz. Pic/Santa Banta
The 41-year-old actress said that there are very super-sweet girls on the set of film 'Annie' who keep telling her that she is pretty, her hair and clothes are so pretty, the Daily Star reported.
The 'There's Something About Mary' star said that it's sweet but it worries her that the girls are being conditioned to value themselves and judge each other by the way they look.
She added that she prefers asking the girls about their school and favourite subject, instead of telling them how cute they look.

Egypt files criminal charges against Americans for promoting democracy. Syria intensifies its brutal offensive against its own citizens. And a unity agreement between rival Palestinian factions threatens to shut the door on relations with Israel for the foreseeable future.
One year after uprisings in the Arab world inspired a mix of awe and fear, it's not a pretty picture.
The situation in post-Mubarak Egypt poses the greatest immediate challenge to the United States and Israel. The pro-democracy forces that launched their revolution on Facebook have lost out to the military, which, in turn, is under pressure from the Islamist parties that have triumphed in parliamentary elections.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which spawned Hamas and other extremist movements in the region, in concert with a party representing the religiously hard-line Salafis, won some 70 percent of the seats in the Egyptian parliament.
The detention and intended prosecution of the Americans, including the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, and other foreign nationals working for pro-democracy groups, is particularly ironic. It raises many questions about the military leaders' intentions to cede control, as well as their intentions regarding future relations with the United States and Israel.
Members of Congress are rightly questioning whether U.S. aid to Egypt — about $1.5 billion each year — should continue under the current situation.
At the same time, the aid, first instituted in the aftermath of the Egyptian-Israel peace treaty, has served as leverage for U.S. influence, and, by extension, an important tool in maintaining the "cold peace" which has existed between Israel and Egypt for more than 30 years.
In Syria, however, U.S. influence has long been negligible, and relations with Israel are strained. There's much less room for maneuvering, so the United States is left doing what it can: pushing for movement in the U.N. Security Council and taking a back seat to Arab League efforts to oust Bashar al-Assad.
As for the deal between the rival Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, it could still unravel, with Hamas leaders in Gaza apparently irked by their man in exile brokering a unity government headed by Mahmoud Abbas in advance of new elections.
The Palestinians were among the first to go to the polls among their Arab brethren, and we all know how that turned out. Instead of opting for peace and prosperity, they chose rejectionism and terrorism in the name of Hamas.
Now, the fears that Israel and its supporters expressed — and were vilified for — when the so-called Arab Spring erupted across the region last year are more than justified. As Israel prepares to face possible renewed aggression, let's do what we must to help the Arabs make smarter choices in the future.

Common sense is no match for gun lobby | April 15, Sue Carlton column
Bill protects responsible firearm owners
Sue Carlton and I usually see eye to eye on issues. However, I must differ with her on legislation to allow open carry of firearms in Florida.
As one who has carried a concealed weapon for over 30 years, I am in favor of this bill. I do not carry a gun on a whim; I carry because I cannot always have a police officer handy.
In order to carry legally, I applied for a permit, was fingerprinted, underwent a federal background check and attended a firearms training course. The FBI and the state of Florida have verified that I am a responsible individual and not a danger to the public. I practice regularly and am a devout follower of the five rules of firearm safety.
Unfortunately, even given all of the above, should I inadvertently allow someone to see my holstered weapon, I risk a confrontation with the police, arrest, fines, possible confiscation of my weapon and loss of my permit to carry.
Senate Bill 234 allows me to avoid the "inadvertent exposure" problems and even carry openly should I choose to. I probably will not, as I don't necessarily want to broadcast the fact I am carrying a firearm. But the bill does ensure that anyone legally carrying will no longer risk being penalized should someone see and take exception to his or her having a firearm on their person.
Let me remind you of a quote by Robert A. Heinlein from his novel Beyond This Horizon: "An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."

Parents say bullying led to fight | April 15
Help available on bullying
The father in this article states that he and his family were aware of his son's bullying for six months but claims it would have been fruitless to contact school officials or police because they would have done nothing about it. So, in essence, he found it in his son's best interest to have him involve himself in physical violence.
Parents have a duty to protect their children, undoubtedly, but they also have a responsibility to react rationally and take the necessary steps; violence is not one of them.
A law enacted in 2008 by Florida lawmakers, called the Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up for All Students Act, is named after a Cape Coral teenager who was bullied for two years without reprieve and committed suicide in 2005. The act "prohibits bullying and harassment of any student or employees of a K-12 public educational institution." The act mandates that school districts implement policies addressing bullying prevention and reporting of bullying acts. It calls for investigation, counseling, notification of parents/family members, resolution and other policies.
The family in this article, instead of reacting violently, should have used those six months to talk with school officials, contact police, or even reach out to advocacy groups for help and advice.

Obama moves to shape fiscal future | April 14
Campaign speech
President Barack Obama's budget speech wasn't really a budget speech at all — it was a campaign speech against the Republicans and an appeal to his liberal base. All he did was insult Rep. Paul Ryan and his budget while Ryan sat in the front row after Obama invited him. What a classy guy our president is.
All Obama and the Democrats want is class warfare and to raise taxes on "millionaires and billionaires" — you know, those hard-working small business owners who make more than $200,000 a year.
We have a spending problem in this country, not a revenue problem. Let's cut our spending first and see where it goes from there.

House okays GOP spending plan | April 16
Young votes against seniors
Take note, seniors: Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Fla., just voted for the repeal of Medicare while extending trillions of dollars in tax breaks to millionaires. The bill forces seniors to purchase private insurance using a voucher that does not increase with the increase in medical costs.
I thought the Republicans were against government intrusion. Common sense says that when you add an extra layer, the costs should increase.
Young has been a congressman from one of the most senior districts of the country for more than 40 years. It is time for his constituents to finally see him for what he is: the true champion of the insurance companies, defense contractors and lobbyists.

School results in: Add fundamentals April 11, editorial
Don't forget magnet schools
There is no denying the appeal of fundamental schools for many parents. However, applications to many magnet programs are at an all-time high as well.
I am a teacher at Jamerson Elementary School in St. Petersburg, as well as a proud Jamerson parent, and I can tell you that attendance at our open houses, as well as the number of applications we received, far surpassed our expectations. Parents want more fundamental and magnet schools.
The article states that "fundamentals are really just schools with a seriousness of purpose and without discipline problems." I believe the same could be said for many magnet programs. Jamerson most definitely has a seriousness of purpose. In addition, the magnet compact that every Jamerson student and parent has to sign ensures that discipline problems are dealt with swiftly, fairly and are taken seriously.

Calls for help
Every 15 minutes, someone in the United States commits suicide. Last year, 155 people in Hillsborough County and 191 in Pinellas County died at their own hands. To those suffering from depression, the world becomes a nightmare from which the only escape is death.
At the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, we have received over 755 suicide calls in the last six months. Yet funds for crisis lines and psychiatric services are continually being cut. Anyone could be the next victim of a society that may be losing its sense of priorities.
Antoinette Cillo, Tampa
School buses
Too many empty buses
With money tight, we are spending a fortune buying, insuring, maintaining and providing dispatchers and drivers for our school buses.
I live near two large public schools and see buses come and go each school day. The problem is most seats are empty because students are picked up by friends and relatives who jam the roads near the school in every direction.
Could not we develop a more efficient busing system? We do not need nearly empty buses running to and fro.

FDIC QuarterlySubscribe
The FDIC Quarterly provides a comprehensive summary of the most current financial results for the banking industry, along with feature articles. These articles range from timely analysis of economic and banking trends at the national and regional level that may affect the risk exposure of FDIC-insured institutions to research on issues affecting the banking system and the development of regulatory policy. The FDIC Quarterly brings together data and analysis that were previously available through three retired publications -- the FDIC Outlook, the FDIC Banking Review, and the FYI: An Update on Emerging Issues in Banking. Past issues of these publications are archived under their original publication names.
FDIC Quarterly 2015 Volume 9, Number 4- PDF (2,564KB) (PDF Help)
Quarterly Banking Profile: Third Quarter 2015
FDIC-insured institutions reported aggregate net income of $40.4 billion in the third quarter of 2015, up $1.9 billion (5.1 percent) from a year earlier. The increase in earnings was mainly attributable to a $3.2 billion decline in noninterest expenses, as itemized litigation expenses at large banks were $2.7 billion lower than a year ago. Of the 6,270 insured institutions reporting third quarter financial results, more than half (58.9 percent) reported year-over-year growth in quarterly earnings. The proportion of banks that were unprofitable during the third quarter fell to 5 percent, down from 6.6 percent a year earlier and the lowest since the first quarter of 2005.
Community Bank Performance
Community banks—which represent 93 percent of insured institutions—reported net income of $5.2 billion in the third quarter, up $363.4 million (7.5 percent) from one year earlier. The increase was driven by higher net interest income and noninterest income, and lower provision expense. The 12-month growth rate in loan balances at community banks was 8.5 percent, almost twice the rate of noncommunity banks. Asset quality indicators continued to improve, and community banks accounted for 44 percent of small loans to businesses.
Insurance Fund Indicators
Insured deposits increased by 1.1 percent in the third quarter of 2015. The DIF reserve ratio rose to 1.09 percent on September 30, 2015, up from 1.06 percent at June 30, 2015, and 0.88 percent at September 30, 2014. One FDIC-insured institution failed during the quarter.
Featured Article:
Financial Performance and Management Structure of Small, Closely Held Banks - PDF (PDF Help)
Closely held banks may face operational challenges in raising external capital and recruiting future managers, especially in rural areas. At the same time, closely held banks may have certain operational advantages, including the ability to focus on long-term goals and to minimize principal-agent problems that may arise from the separation of ownership and operational control. This paper compares the performance of closely and widely held banks as identified in a survey of FDIC bank examiners and finds that closely held banks do not appear, on net, to be underperforming widely held banks in recent years. Closely held banks where the day-to-day manager is a member of the ownership group seem to outperform banks with a hired manager. The survey of bank examiners in three FDIC supervisory Regions was used to identify the ownership and management structure of more than 1,350 community banks. The survey results suggest that almost 75 percent of community banks in these Regions can be regarded as closely held, typically on the basis of family or community ties.

text: Meet AIU Provost & Chief Academic Officer Dr. Manzer Posted April 13, 2015 by Christina Schiel in College Faculty and Staff Tags: College Faculty and Staff, AIU It was at Dr. Robert Manzer's first teaching job that a lightbulb turned on and he discovered his career path."Within the first week on the job, my perspective shifted, and I realized I wanted to change the model of higher education," he said. Two things affected his view: First, seeing that for so many students – especially first-generation college students – college was their big opportunity to advance professionally, and second, seeing that colleges could do a much better job preparing them for that advancement by being more intentional about their success. "I remember seeing parents dropping their children off to start college, and thinking about how much they had invested in their children's success, and I felt badly that we weren't as focused as we could have been on helping their children move forward in the world."Since that eye-opening experience, Dr. Manzer has made it his goal through a variety of roles in educational leadership to evolve that higher-education model to make it more student focused. Today, he serves as AIU's provost and chief academic officer, where he views his role through the lens of that dedication to students.He got his feet wet at the University of Dallas as a professor of political science, but the feeling that he could have a larger impact drove him to seek a leadership role, and five years later, he earned the position of associate dean. The next step on his career ladder was becoming associate vice president of academic affairs at Nebraska Wesleyan University (NWU), and it was there that he began making his mark. At NWU, Dr. Manzer developed the state's largest concurrent enrollment program, designed to afford high school students the opportunity to enroll in college courses, with 30 high schools. He also embraced his passion for political philosophy, creating a Washington D.C.-based Capitol Hill internship program with a 10-school consortium, with the goal of giving students real-world, first-hand experience before graduation. "Washington D.C. runs on interns," he said. " It's great for students to have these experiences. ... They're indispensable in preparing students to move forward in the world."Dr. Manzer experienced this firsthand in his own career: He interned with Congressman John McCain, who was completing his first term in the House of Representatives at the time. "I was a bit green back then. You have these points of view, and then you learn they're based on limited experiences. I learned a lot." Replicating these types of experiential learning programs in the online environment in some way is one thing he's exploring in his role as provost and chief academic officer.He's held many leadership roles over the years, including serving as chief operating officer for the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations and regional vice president of Synergis Education, Inc. In his educational leadership roles, Dr. Manzer also has experience developing new degree and non-degree programs—all to benefit students with a forward focus. "The key is getting students ready for the next step after college."His main advice on how students can find success is simple in theory but not always in practice. "The No. 1 thing is to become reflective—thoughtful—about what you're doing. Be able to give an account of who you are and what you've done in relation to where you want to go," he said.Dr. Manzer has experience helping students with this concept of reflection in working to prepare them to compete for nationally competitive scholarships like the Rhodes Scholarships. He would advise them that their personal and educational accounts needed to be so powerful that the panel would think, "If we don't give this person a scholarship, the world will suffer."Continually reflecting on your path, he believes, holds the key to success. "Internalize your education. Don't keep it at arms' length—get the most out of it," he said.But above all, earn your degree. "In today's economy, a college degree is a necessity. Not having a degree really limits you in terms of career prospects," he says. "Everyone faces challenges and decisions that alter their paths, but earning a degree is important."These thoughtful pieces of advice seem to carry more weight as Dr. Manzer's own educational journey didn't start out on such an auspicious note: Shortly before he was scheduled to graduate high school, he dropped out. He was doing well in school, he said, but lacked the focus and understanding to follow through on finishing.Yet he wasn't away from school for long before he decided to finish what he started and earn his high school diploma. He then moved on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Carleton College in Minnesota and his Master and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago. "I went from a high school drop-out to a Ph.D. I took it one step at a time," he said. "It's the nature of how people move through the world. You make progress, get to a different place, and see what happens."Today, Dr. Manzer enjoys the opportunity to evaluate and remold the higher education model at AIU. "I have the opportunity at AIU to tweak and change the model to be more about helping students succeed," he said. "Getting an education can not only open doors; it can prepare you to walk through them."Dr. Manzer was awarded the 2004 President's Award for Outstanding Administration by the Adult and Continuing Education Association of Nebraska and has authored articles in leading political science journals, including American Political Science Review and American Journal of Political Science.Ready to learn more?

I am a person who like helping others but I realize that when my back is against the wall no one reach out to help me. I am back twenty four thousand in my mortgage and this happen because I lost my job, my aunt die in november 2011 and she had no children no insurance and no one to bury her. I step up and took the responsibility and not knowing that I would fall behind in mortgage payments. I tried on serveral times to asked the company to carry the area to the back of the mortgage, but all I got from them that is impossible to do so that I have to come up with the full area. This is hard for me no one to talk too.

Peanut Butter Cups
As I type my daughter is a few months into her third year. As is often the case with parents I put nothing else on this planet before her. She is everything. Every parent wants to protect their children from as many bad things as possible in this world. To that end we often turn to professionals for advice on when it is OK to do certain things. Take peanuts for example. The prevailing medical wisdom says that if nobody in your family has a history of allergies then you should wait until your child turns one year old before exposing them to peanuts. If you have a history of allergies you should wait until the child is at least three. Because neither my wife nor I have any known allergies we treated the arrival of our daughter's first taste of peanut butter with an unusual amount of excitement. Well, I did. Peanuts, peanut butter in particular, are a big deal to me. I find peanut butter delicious and combining chocolate with peanut butter is next-level stuff. The peanut butter cup is a triumph of taste and I am sure that achieving nirvana involves peanut butter at some point.
A few days after my daughter's first birthday my wife and I decided to give her a peanut butter cracker. We had waited the required amount of time recommended by the pediatrician and it was time for her to learn about another wonderful part of being alive. About 9 or 10 hours later when we left the emergency room we knew that peanuts and my beloved peanut butter would no longer be welcome in our home. After taking a bite of a peanut butter cracker our daughter had gone into anaphylactic shock.
In the two years since that scary day we have learned from allergists that she is allergic to several different types of nuts; peanuts, cashews, almonds, the list goes on. They also told us that she is not likely to outgrow the allergy as some children seem to do. C'mon. Really? Seriously? Cashews are better than peanuts!!! My daughter is never going to get to eat warm cashews. That's criminal.
And she will also never enjoy a peanut butter cup…
Imagine a life without peanut butter cups. Barring advances in medicine my daughter is faced with that reality. It's not something she was able to decide for herself, of course. How and why she is allergic to peanuts is a question I doubt she will ever have answered. But that's life and we all know about the fairness it lacks.
All of this peanut pondering started the other night when I saw a commercial for Reese's peanut butter cups. It was a reminder of my daughter's situation and, as is so often the case, I found myself translating that situation into issues facing the reptile community. Peanut butter cups have been denied to my daughter by circumstances that were beyond her control. But what about snakes? What is her future with reptiles?
Just last week she told me that she wanted to go "snakey finding with [me]" and that she would "help me find Kaa." Kaa, for those of you who were never young, is the snake from Jungle Book. Reptile-loving dad's out there will immediately recognize the coolness of such a shared moment with your child. Her statement created interesting emotions for me. At three, my daughter is beginning to develop an appreciation for reptiles. She is at the very beginning of a life which promises the opportunity to one day allow her to own the pet of her own choosing. I like the idea that she will one day include reptiles as part of her life but I respect her right to decide not to. What's more important to me than her choice of pet is her choice to have a pet. It is a decision that will be hers to make. But more and more each day I fear that my daughter is at the beginning of a life where people will eventually take that right away from her. As her father I can't let that happen.
My need to fight for my daughter's right to have the choice to one day be a responsible pet owner got me thinking about the "grassroots" efforts of the reptile community to fight all of this proposed legislation. Over the past few years there have seen several different pieces of proposed legislation, some federal and some state. One delegate in the House of Representatives described the grassroots response of the reptile community to HR 669 as a "buzz saw", meaning we got their attention and our voice was loudly heard. Through each piece of proposed legislation (the federal one's in particular) the community has become more aware and more organized. But are we also losing some steam? For my daughter's sake, I hope not. Each time the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) launches its next assault we see our email in-boxes and the Internet forums light up with calls to action. Each time we are told "now is the time to act" and "this is the biggest threat the reptile community has ever faced". We are asked to band together once again and call Senators and House delegates, to write letter and send emails. Unfortunately, the battle cry, "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more", will not invoke a reaction forever.
How many times can we go to the well and conjure a concerted reaction from the reptile community? How long before we lose interest in the fight? There is a finite number of times that people are going to be willing to get involved. Most of us are, after all, just pet owners. You just want to share your life with an animal that brings you joy. Being a pet owner isn't supposed to require you to be a political activist. But more and more each day that is the way things seem to be heading. The assault on the rights of pet owners of all types is unrelenting, multi-faceted and hidden under the veil of false animal love. Nobody is going to fight for the rights of pet owners except pet owners. We can't afford to lose sight of that.
We have all been thrown curves in life. My daughter picked the short straw when it comes to being allergic to a long list of nuts. The burden our family has to bear is that we must spend the rest of our lives being vigilant, doing everything we can to avoid accidental exposure to peanuts. That job wasn't clearly defined in the job description of being a parent. I guess it falls into the category called "other duties as assigned" that we so often see in today's job descriptions. And so it also goes for pet owners; our decision to own a pet means we are accepting a responsibility to also fight for that right for ourselves and for our children.
Dig deep, snake lover. Dig deep. The fight is never going to end …until the day YOU stop fighting.
Colin Weaver
Dude thank you yet again. I am gonna post this everywhere.
A bit gloomy, but very well written, Colin.
Great articel. We share 2 things in common. I too am the father of a daughter with a severe peanut allergy that did not express it until 5 years of age when a teacher had them making crackers with apple slices and peanut butter. Life has changed ever since. THe poor kid misses out on so much at birthday parties and such. No peanuts, no foods made with peanut oil, no foods made in plants whre peanuts may be used and on and on.
Second, we love our pets. In fact we bred dogs. It is not well known but most if not all towns put limits on the number of dogs you can own ( most at around 5) . It took us nearly two years to find a property location where we would not be hampered by this law. I can understand the concern in implementing such a law, however, the end result is usually more restrictive on the few who will ever have a desire or need to own more than 5 dogs than it is beneficial to those who would be helped in limiting the ownership of all to such a level. I too fear the government's further intrusion into lifestyle choices we make, such as animal ownership, and whether my child, an avid dog lover, will be able to continue our endeavors with dogs when she is an adult.

An assisted suicide group has filed a motion to dismiss felony charges Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom brought against it and its members for the May 30, 2007, suicide of an Apple Valley woman.
If the court does not dismiss the charges against Final Exit Network and its members, an appellate court review has been requested, which could lead to a change of Minnesota's assisted suicide laws.
Doreen Nan (Gunderson) Dunn, 57, suffered intense chronic pain and depression when she killed herself using a helium hood, according to Backstrom and Robert Rivas, attorney for Final Exit Network, an organization Dunn had joined before she took her life using its recommended method.
In May, a Dakota County grand jury indicted Final Exit Network and four of its volunteers for allegedly violating Minnesota laws against assisting, aiding, advising or encouraging Dunn's suicide, allowing Backstrom to file felony charges of assisting/aiding abetting another to commit suicide.
Backstrom also charged members with interference with a death scene, gross misdemeanors that Rivas did not challenge in the motion.
Charged were Thomas "Ted" Goodwin, former president of Final Exit Network; Roberta Massey, a Final Exit "case coordinator;" Jerry Dincin, then-Final Exit Network president; and the organization's medical director Dr. Lawrence Egbert.
Rivas argued in his motion to dismiss the assisted suicide charges, on the basis of unconstitutionality because they violate the First Amendment right to free speech by regulating the content of speech.
He cited laws in other states that prohibit assisting in a suicide, but do not include "advising" and "encouraging," which Rivas said are beyond Minnesota's police powers.
Rivas stated Final Exit Network "Exit Guides" do not advise anyone in favor of suicide or assist in the suicide, but provide people with information of how to "die peacefully and with certainty if they decide to do so."
Backstrom refused comment on Rivas' motion, but has said in the past that Minnesota law prohibits anyone from aiding another person in committing suicide, and doing so is a felony.
"Final Exit Network claims laws of this nature are unconstitutional," Backstrom has said. "However, the laws enacted by the Minnesota Legislature are presumed to be constitutional until such time as the appellate courts of our state rule otherwise."
Final Exit Network's website states it is the only organization in the country that will help individuals who are not terminally ill, and calls it a basic human right for a person to end their life when they suffer from fatal, irreversible illness or intractable pain and have no hope of recovery.
In his motion, Rivas argued that 37 states criminalize aiding or assisting in suicide because the preservation of human life is "a compelling state interest," wording that does not violate the Constitution, but he called Minnesota's law "irrational" and overly broad because makes it a crime to "advise" or "encourage" suicide.
He suggested that Minnesota's law be changed to reflect that of other states like Arizona, which he said states a person commits manslaughter by intentionally aiding another to commit suicide.
"FEN's volunteers were once charged with this crime in Arizona and made no First Amendment facial challenge to the Arizona law," Rivas wrote.
In Georgia this year, the Supreme Court declared its statute unconstitutional after Final Exit Network challenged their law that prevented advertising assisted suicide services.
The law was changed to ban assisting in a suicide, specifying "the act of physically helping or physically providing the means" for a suicide.
"Minnesota's law in this case cannot pass a First Amendment smell test," Rivas said. "Because it creates a whole category of crime that is made a crime even in the absence of any sanctionable 'conduct' at all, and because it involves a ban on the expression of a specific viewpoint that Minnesota seeks to suppress."
Backstrom has until Dec. 4 to file a response to the FEN motion.

According to a report from Mexico, published in the Jewish. Daily Bulletin, the Mexican newspaper La Prensa attacked Jascha Heifetz editorially for refusing to permit his concert to be broadcast over the radio. La Prensa, which was recently described by the Mexican anti-Semitic Fascists as a "Judaizing" journal, ridiculed Heifetz's explanation that his contract with his managers forbids the broadcasting of his concerts. The "pro-Jewish" La Prensa writes:
"We believe that the Hebrew's need for favorable publicity to counteract the unfavorable publicity received since the crucifixion of the supreme chief of Christianity was amplified by a traditional adherence to pecuniary contracts. Shylock demanding his pound of flesh is no less than Heifetz refusing to scrape gut in front of a Mexican microphone."
Only a journal published and edited by ignorant bigots can stoop to such venomous stupidity. If this is characteristic of what Mexican pro-Jewish newspapers write, we may easily imagine what the Nazified Fascists there say about the Jews. La Prensa, however, seems such an enthusiastic admirer of Heifetz's art that, according to its own peculiar reasoning, it would be willing to forgive the crucifixion if only Jascha Heifetz were to permit his concert to be broadcast. Jascha's violation of his contract with his managers would give the Hebrews the "favorable publicity" needed "to counteract the unfavorable publicity received since the crucifixion of the supreme chief of Christianity." Jascha's refusal to appear before a Mexican microphone is likened to "Shylock demanding his pound of flesh." The "pro-Jewish" Mexican organ goes back to the Roman crucifixion and to Shakespeare's misconstrued Shylock in order to attack the Jews.
Anti-Semites have always resorted to reviving long-exploded myths and old legends. But this is the first time, as far as I know, that the crucifixion and the Shylock fable have been used in connection with a Jewish violinist.
Mexico needs a great deal of "favorable publicity" in the eyes of the world. Newspapers like La Prensa, descending to such vile and stupid tactics, are surely not representative of the liberty-loving Mexican people. They are furnishing plenty of "unfavorable publicity" for Mexico.
Some time ago the Nazi press published a letter from Knut Hamsun, the famous Norwegian novelist and Noble Prize winner, according to which Mr. Hamsun had endorsed the anti-Jewish policy of the Hitler regime, justifying the persecution of the Jews on the ground that they belonged to an "inferior race." Hamsun has never been known as an outspoken friend of the Jews, and yet it seemed incredible that he would identify himself with the absurd and spurious race theory of the Nazis.
Now we learn that Knut Hamsun did write a letter to a young German Jew whom he had helped to release from a concentration camp, but that instead of referring to the Jewish people as an inferior race, he extolled their superiority. The Nazi press falsified Hamsun's letter.
He wrote to the young Jew, in part, as follows:
"As a Jew you belong to a race that is dominant in every cultural domain in every land. In science, art, literature, commerce, industry—in all these the Jews hold a high rank. This is denied by no one, as far as I know….
"It is a misfortune that the Jews have no great land of their own. Palestine cannot hold them all, and in all the five parts of the world it seems impossible for them to find a territory which would be large enough for them….
"The Jews who are powerful in politics and finance should not rest until a new great Jewish land is found."
To the Nazis this letter is sufficient proof of Hamsun's approval of their racial discrimination against the Jews. They could not, however, admit to their own people that Hamsun emphasized the superiority of the Jewish race, so they distorted it to suit their own purposes.

Vendor unveils USB Serial-ATA dongle
Hook big, fast drives up to your USB port
Posted in Personal Tech, 5th October 2006 10:07 GMT
Japanese storage specialist Novac has figured out an easy way to connect eSATA drives to PCs without a suitable port: a USB-connected adaptor dongle.
The manufacturer even suggests hooking up four 3.5in SATA drives to the NV-US2020, as the dongle's dubbed, via a hub. That would make for one heck of a USB Flash drive.
The unit will ship with cables for SATA and eSATA drives, and supports both 1.5Gbps and 3Gbps versions of the spec - both rather higher than USB 2.0's 480Mbps maximum data transfer rate. It's due to ship next week for ¥3,980 ($34/£18/€27). More Japanese-language details here. ®

A week ago Curran said there was "mutual interest" in having the player back for a third season in New York. Today he said that hasn't necessarily changed, but you have to wonder what it means that the two sides haven't reached an agreement in time for the start of camp.
Here's one educated guess: the Rangers don't have any cap space. And until they figure out what they're going to do with their NHL roster or make a trade, that's not going to change.
"I would have hoped that we could have got something done since it's opening tomorrow, but nothing's been done yet," Curran said. "At this point we've been asked to be patient, which is what we've been doing. As long as Brendan's intent is to come back and play with the Rangers, we have no choice but to sit back and be patient."
Curran emphasized that Shanahan has other options at his disposal. Anaheim, Montreal, Philadelphia, and New Jersey have all been mentioned in media reports as possibilities.
"All I got to do is pick up the phone and call someone back if I'm told it's not possible for him to be a Ranger," Curran said.
For what it's worth, Curran and Glen Sather never spoke today. I guess Sather's a stickler for that "no cell phone on the golf course" rule…

Detailed Description:
Fixed-partial dentures fabricated of zircon-oxide ceramics were introduced in dentistry some time ago. However, the survival rate of all-ceramic extended (up to 47mm) fixed-partial dentures is unknown.
The hypothesis was that long FDPs fabricated of zirkon-oxide withstand masticatory forces in the posterior and anterior regio of the jaw.

Technical Abstract: To determine the clinical signs, nature of lesions, and comparison to natural bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and experimental scrapie in cattle, calves were inoculated intracerebrally with brain suspension from mule deer naturally affected with CWD. Between 24 and 27 months post inoculation, 3 animals became recumbent and were euthanized. Gross necropsies revealed emaciation in 2 animals and presence of a large chroni pulmonary abscess in the third one. Brains were examined for protease- resistant prion protein (PrPres) by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, and for scrapie associated fibrils (SAF) by negative stain electronmicroscopy. Microscopic lesions in the brain were subtle in 2 animals and absent in the third case. However, all 3 animals were positive for PrPres by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, and SAF were detected in 2 of the animals. A non-inoculated control animal euthanized during the esame time-period did not have PrPres in its brain. These are preliminary observations from a currently in-progress experiment. Three years after the CWD challenge, the 10 remaining inoculated cattle are alive and apparently healthy. These preliminary findings demonstrate that diagnostic techniques currently used for BSE surveillance would also detect CWD in cattle should it occur naturally.

Authorities in New York say a $150,000 Salvador Dali painting that was stolen from a New York City gallery last week has been mailed back in perfect condition.
The painting, a 1949 piece titled "Cartel de Don Juan Tenirio," was lifted June 20th, when a brazen thief snatched the work of art right off a wall of the Venus Over Manhattan art gallery, dropped it into a shopping bag and calmly strolled unnoticed out the building's front door.
Though the thief's image was captured by surveillance cameras as he exited the gallery, police had no leads on his whereabouts as of Friday (June 29), NBC reports.
Inspection service spokeswoman Donna Harris told The New York Post the gallery received an email earlier this week that said the painting had been sent back. A tracking number was included.
"Cartel on its way back to you already," the email read.
On Friday, the NYPD said that the painting was found in a box at Kennedy Airport, addressed to the gallery and bore a phony return address from Europe.
The Venus Over Manhattan art gallery then confirmed the authenticity of the Dali painting, adding that it was returned in remarkable condition.
While it remains unknown why the art thief sent the $150,000 Salvador Dali painting back to the gallery, experts speculate that the publicity surrounding the theft had complicated efforts to sell the piece on the black market.
Video footage showing images of the art thief can be viewed below. Individuals with information on the man's identity are asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

New Automobile Program Launched At Stanford University
It's not often that you hear about established higher institutions offering studies related to the automobile, but Stanford University is doing just that by launching an automotive program entitled "Revs."
The program is said to be a multi-disciplinary one, combining the university's high tech Silicon Valley reputation with a cultural analysis of the car in television, film and literature, as well as discussing various aspects of automobiles during classes and in research.
Directed by Clifford Nass; Stanford's professor of communication; the program began on April 7 with a special symposium dubbed "Celebrating the Automobile," a day long event that focused on a specific vehicle, in this case a legendary Bentley 4 1/4-litre, once owned by wealthy British textile heir and amateur racer; Edward Ramsden-Hall.
The symposium included a gathering of noted academics, engineers, car collectors, archaeologists, vehicle designers and racing drivers who examined and discussed the car based on their various fields of expertise.
"Our primary goal for the Revs Program at Stanford is to create a vital and much-deserved intellectual community around the car as technological and aesthetic artifact and cultural symbol," said Professor Nass.

Author's Note: Hey all! Just letting you know that if you're interested I have some associated fan art on my DeivantArt acct. The link is in my profile.
Enjoy Volume 2! :)
Volume 2
The Underground
The car rumbled on through the forests, breaking up what would have been a pleasant, silent morning. I gazed through a partly open window, letting the wind of the ride rush over my face and through my hair. Green and trees were all that I saw for miles on end. Where I was? I had no idea. All I knew was that this was going to be my new assignment.
We passed trainers on the side of the road who each in turn stopped to glance at us and let us pass before continuing. And for the first time in a very long time I wished I could be one of them. To have that freedom to come and go as I pleased.
I tugged at my black gloves, brushing Persian fur from my uniform that insisted on sticking to me. We pulled up into an old, dirt driveway and stoped just outside of what looked to be a holiday cabin of sorts.
Stepping from the car, I squinted in the morning sunlight and pulled my black hat down over my eyes. All black with the exception of a red R on my chest, it was obvious who I represented. Not so obvious who I really was to those of my rank, however.
But that was what he had wanted.
The Boss.
He wanted me to start again from the bottom. For me to see how hard it was to prove myself in this organisation.
My name is Kair Yu. Not my real name, but the one that I chose for myself. And I was just about to learn the hard way, how to win back my father's approval….
A small gaggle of rockets was waiting for us in the cabin, including a woman who I immediately recognised from the HR department. She looked impatient as she tapped a finger on an orange envelope, no doubt meant for me.
"Finally! You're here," she let out an exasperated huff.
I took at seat at the kitchen table in front of her, looking this way and that.
"Wherever 'here' happens to be," I muttered.
Ignoring my response, she slid the envelope over to me which I eagerly opened, hoping for it to shed some light on the situation. I read from the orders written in Giovanni's own handwriting, only to stop suddenly.
"I'm being assigned a partner?"
Wendy from HR nodded, her green hair bouncing in front of her face, her grin menacing. "I guess daddy feels the need for someone to keep an eye on you after your last endeavour," she snickered like I was the butt of a joke I hadn't gotten yet. "Good luck!"
She pulled herself to her feet and walked out followed by her friends.
I sat alone in the cabin, bringing up the file of the person I was being assigned to, then cursed. This had to be a joke…
The careful knock at the door confirmed that indeed, it wasn't. She stood in the doorway, tall and elegant. Long magenta hair and eyes of determination, she entered and for moments nighter of us uttered a word.
"Jessie," I finally said.
"Kair," she nodded.
"So what happened to James?" I sat back on our cabin couch which I found we were sharing as our base of operations.
Jessie followed suit, gently crossing her legs, and tugged at her skirt. The normally firey Rocket was the quietest I had ever seen her.
"We got assigned new partners," she said sullenly and I was sure she was just about to burst into tears.
"That sucks." I nodded.
She just looked at me, toying with a ringlet of her hair. "So what is our new assignment?"
I grabbed the envelope and handed it to her. "We're infiltrating Team Aqua. It seems that they've gotten their hands on something that is of much interest to the Boss."
"So, we're going under cover?"
"Yup. I found our new uniforms in one of the bedrooms-."
She was on her feet before I even got to finish my sentence. Storming into the nearest bedroom, I needed wait only a few minutes before hearing her ear-splitting scream.
"He can't be serious!" Jessie burst from the bedroom, holding up one of the uniforms, a glare of disgust blatant on her face. "These… things…. will make us look like we just escaped from prison!"
Blue pants with a black and white striped t-shirt and a blue bandana bearing the Team Aqua logo- it was obvious not much thought had gone into the process.
Regardless, Jessie looked determined. Quickly grabbing her duffle bag, she rummaged through it before finding a small box. I watched with intrigue as she pulled a pair of scissors from the box and proceeded to dissect the pants.
"What are you doing?" I demanded.
"Giving this piece of crap uniform some Jessie flair!" she retaliated, whipping a needle and thread from her box, "and giving this stupid Team Aqua a lesson in style."

Is Andrew Wylie Just Lazy?
2 comments:
- Suzi McGowen said...
Wylie said it the exclusive contract was for two years.
What I want to know is if more authors are deciding not to send their books to Wylie, (on the theory that publishers are mad at him).
Or, are more authors thinking about sending them to Wylie, because who wouldn't want an agent known as "the Jackel" on your side? :)
- Andrew Zack said...
Thanks for that piece of information, of which I was not aware.
As for question one, only Wylie can answer it. As for question two, I don't think he has ever wanted for submissions. Will this get him more? I suspect it might.
