European aquaculture offers good quality products, respecting strict environmental health and consumer protection standards. The excellent quality of EU seafood should constitute a major competitive advantage for EU aquaculture. However, EU production is stagnating, in contrast with strong growth in other regions of the world.
In 2010, the value of EU aquaculture production was € 3.1 billion. 22% of the volume behind came from freshwater aquaculture. When we look at our total seafood consumption, 25% comes from EU fisheries, 10% from EU aquaculture and 65% from imports.
Each percentage point of current EU consumption produced internally through aquaculture would help create between 3,000 and 4,000 full-time jobs. Aquaculture represents a relatively small part of the EU economy but it has the potential to boost growth and jobs in EU coastal and inland areas. The numbers can be larger depending on how we could see the implications for processing jobs as well. For the Commission, aquaculture is one of the pillars of the EU's Blue Growth Strategy.
* * *
The proposal for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform and the accompanying financial proposal (EMFF) both aim to promote sustainable aquaculture. A new mechanism that we will introduce is the open method of coordination. This is a voluntary process for cooperation based on Strategic Guidelines and multiannual national strategic plans identifying common objectives and, where possible, indicators to measure progress towards these goals.
This meeting today is well timed. In the coming weeks the Commission will publish Strategic Guidelines for the promotion of aquaculture, defining what we see as the main challenges and priorities for the sector. The Guidelines will define general objectives and a strategic framework that will help national and local authorities work together to help aquaculture achieve its potential. Member States will be asked to prepare national aquaculture plans, taking into consideration the specific starting conditions, challenges and potential in each country. We will then help them coordinate their activities and exchange best practices and know-how.
We have identified four key challenges for aquaculture in the Guidelines. We need to reduce the administrative burden and uncertainties for aquaculture producers. We need to facilitate access to space and water. We need to increase the sector's competitiveness and we need to help ensuring a level playing field by exploiting EU aquaculture's competitive advantages. These objectives are relevant for all types of aquaculture. Today, we can focus in particular on how they affect EU freshwater aquaculture, and what role we see for the diversification of aquaculture sites.
Diversification – the theme you have chosen as the main focus for this meeting - represents a key opportunity to improve the competitiveness of freshwater aquaculture, and more needs to be done to realise this potential.
Many farms already exist where producers also diversify their activities with ecotourism, angling and other recreational services. Business diversification can represent significant opportunity for freshwater fish farmers, and we should help them to identify what is possible, and then to implement the best ideas.
Another key dimension is that extensive and semi-intensive freshwater aquaculture offers valuable landscape management and habitat conservation services that are beneficial for society and for the environment. Existing pond-based farms represent a good example of how an economic activity can meet the conservation needs of a habitat or species. We believe it is important that these services are recognised, and that corresponding extra costs or loss of income are adequately compensated.
The Commission's proposal for the new EMFF, which is now being negotiated with the European Parliament and the Council, foresees incentives for both forms of diversification. We propose that the fund should provide support for the development of complementary activities as a new form of income, as well as for aquaculture providing services in terms of environmental conservation and landscape management.
Across Europe, different economic activities compete for access to space and freshwater. Integrated spatial planning and water basin management can help meet the needs of aquaculture and minimise its impacts, and we encourage Member States to follow this approach. The environmental services offered by pond-based aquaculture should be adequately recognised in this context.
Two other objectives from our Guidelines are relevant to all kinds of aquaculture: reducing administrative burdens and ensuring a level playing field.
We hear horror studies of aquaculture producers waiting many years to obtain a licence. 2-3 years is perceived as somehow "normal". In some Member States it can be even longer. However, data reported in a European Parliament study suggest that the average licencing time for aquaculture farms in Norway used to be 12 months and has been reduced to 6 months with the introduction of a single contact point. If we want EU aquaculture to be a competitive and attractive sector, we need to improve this situation. We need to cut red tape while maintaining the existing high level of environmental and consumer protection.
In our consultations, stakeholders also highlighted the need to ensure a level playing field. European consumers are often willing to pay a premium for a product that is safe, high quality and sustainable. Today, these characteristics of EU aquaculture products are often not sufficiently known by consumers, and the general public is not always aware of the contribution to biodiversity and land management. Better information – including through new labelling provisions as proposed in the Common Market Organisation Regulation – can help extract more value from our aquaculture products; and there also needs to be better communication efforts to inform about the wider contribution of EU aquaculture to the economy and society as a whole.
The fragmentation and limited representation of the EU aquaculture sector – which is almost exclusively composed of SMEs - have always represented a challenge, in particular for traditional freshwater aquaculture. This issue is addressed in the proposed reform of the Common Market Organisation through the establishment of Producers Organisations.
The proposed Aquaculture Advisory Council will also help: we expect it to become the reference point for exchanging good practice and formulating recommendations that help EU and national policy makers to better address the needs of the industry, consumers, and citizens. We also hope that it will provide a useful platform for producers, consumers and environmental NGOs to work together productively.
* * *
In essence, we want to do everything we can to create a more favourable environment for freshwater aquaculture. The reformed CFP provides the legislative underpinning, and the next generation of partnership contracts with the Member States that will be in place from 2014 should give a further targeted financial boost.
On the basis of our future work with the Member States around their new national plans, we hope to help the relevant actors to identify concrete action already next year.
Our overall target is to bring about more sustainable growth and jobs in this sector, and as soon as possible.

We fear a massive cyber-attack. This is the only remotely valid reason for responding carefully, but inaction merely worsens the prospect of disasters to come. And the administration is doing precious little to improve our defenses in the meantime.
The more complex a socio-economic system becomes, the more vulnerable it is to any kind of attack. Our vast infrastructure offers countless target nodes, while our centralized systems for distributing everything from energy to foodstuffs rely on national networks and long-distance supply chains. An African village wouldn't suffer much from a cyber-attack; a Chinese town would feel it, but not severely. An American city would shut down.
Which means you can't play tit-for-tat and let the Chinese continue to escalate. You have to hit their military and intelligence computer networks with shocking force — demonstrating what we could do to their showcase cities, if they don't behave.
They have to be punished for their massive theft of our secrets and intellectual capital — as well as for the direct damage they do.

Evolution Hoax
The reason for the collapse of the Ottoman Empire is not that it was inflexible. People wanted to leave the Ottoman Empire because it became a fundamentalist society. Nobody would have wanted to leave had it been a society based on the moral values of the Qur'an; they would have lived together in joy and happiness. For example, had it said to the Bulgarians, "Speak with whom you like, do what you like, talk with Europe if you wish…" But why should they want to stay together once faith had gone? Of course they will want to depart. For one thing, their religion was different. No value was placed on Christians within that traditional conception of religion; they were even regarded as enemies. One fabricated hadith even says, "When you see a Christian walking on the road, make him walk along the edge of it."
«From Abu Hureyra, according to one account, Rasulullah (saas) supposed to have been heard to say:
— Do not greet Jews and Christians first (when you encounter them). If you encounter one on the road, force him to walk on the edge of it.»
This hadith was related by Müslim. (Buluğu'l Meram volume 4, CHAPTER ON CİHÂD, Part on Cizye and Hüdne, 1335/1125- [246])
They quote this as a hadith. Everyone then knew about this supposed hadith. There is no arguing with it. If a Christian knew about it, he would certainly not want to live in such a place and such a community. He would not want to be despised.
Therefore, people wanted to leave the Ottoman Empire because it had a fundamentalist nature. Had the system been based on the moral values of the Qur'an, why would anyone want to leave? They would live in joy and happiness. Of course people will be terrified to live in a society in which they can be killed off for failing to do their prayers. According to the four schools, someone who does not pray, who is an apostate, should be killed. Yet people can lose their faith, may Allah forbid. They can lose it for a week or 10 days and then get it back. If someone was a non-believer first, he can become a believer later. He can lose his faith again later, but then come back to it. Why should someone be killed for that? But nobody will want to live in a society with such a fundamentalist nature as that. They will not feel safe. They will not want to live in a terrifying system with such awful punishments. We must seek the real causes of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Nothing changed for people, they were left free. The Ottoman Empire did not interfere with anyone. Had it done so, those people would have left. But why should they leave such a system? Because the Ottomans had an overwhelming military strength. But then they fell behind in science and everything else. They banned printing presses, and this and that; unbelievable policies were brought in. And in such a climate, people feel the desire to live by themselves. And the idea of tribalism, racism began spreading in those times. It was imposed on people. A socialist, communist logic began to develop. Then the Ottoman Empire ended up like this. I must make a pamphlet out of it so people can understand. I must explain it all on the basis of the available documentation, insha'Allah, because it is an important subject. It is not enough to talk about it a few times.
Now if you go to the Southeast with the same thoughts of setting people free and say, "Do as you wish, make whatever propaganda you like, talk as you wish, you are free," then of course communism will follow. Communism will come and the area will break away. It will want to make you communist, as well. That will be the end result. But if you engaged in a powerful intellectual offensive, if you eradicate Darwinism and materialism, if you show them love and compassion, if you eliminate fundamentalism, if you eliminate some of the terrifying commands of the schools that are based on fundamentalism, then people will happily turn to Islam.
But if you say you are going to bury women in sand and stone them, and even insist the stones should not be too large, so they suffer more before they die, then that is a terrible thing. If you want to kill a woman, a young person, by throwing thousands of stones at her head, people will refuse to enter such a faith. That is a terrible thing to do. It is one of the awful ways of the pagans of putting people to death. Islam is based on love and affection. Forgiveness. Everyone will love Islam if those moral values are spread. Then everyone will want to live together with Muslims. (January 13th, 2013, A9 TV)2013-02-25 15:10:44

In the early days of summer, garden vegetables are still just a promise of things to come, so I always get a little infatuated with my herbs, which are raring to go. I'm always looking for ways to use the uncommon herbs I don't have as many recipes for, and a few years ago I was excited when my sister Sandee introduced me to Marinated Tomato Salad with Parsley and Marjoram Dressing. Of course, there are no tomatoes from the garden yet, but when I spotted this orzo salad with Marjoram Vinaigrette in the June 2003 issue of Bon Appetit, I hoped it might be another winner using marjoram, and it was!
I do think you could make this Whole Wheat Orzo Salad with Tomatoes, Kalamata Olives, Feta, and Herb Vinaigrette with basil or fresh oregano if you don't have marjoram, but if you have marjoram in your garden that needs to get out more often, give it a try!
Stir together gently and let the salad sit for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.
Stir the rest of the dressing into the cut cherry tomatoes and let it marinate too.
Whole Wheat Orzo Salad with Tomatoes, Kalamata Olives, Feta, and Herb Vinaigrette
(Makes 4-6 servings, adapted from Orzo, Feta, and Tomato salad with Marjoram Vinaigrette from Bon Appetit June 2003.)
1/2 lb. (1 1/4 cup) whole wheat orzo
1 tsp. lemon zest
2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 T + 2 tsp. finely chopped marjoram (or use basil or fresh oregano)
1/2 cup crumbled Feta
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, cut into fourths lengthwise
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Wash marjoram (or other herbs) and spin dry or dry with paper towels, then finely chop enough to make 1 T + 2 tsp. chopped herbs. Zest the skin of a lemon and measure 1 tsp. lemon zest. Mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard, whisk in the olive oil, then stir in 1 T chopped marjoram.
Put drained and cooled orzo into a medium-sized salad bowl. Add crumbled Feta, sliced green onions, and Kalamata olives, then add all but 2 T of the herb vinaigrette and gently stir the mixture together. Let sit at room temperature while you prep tomatoes.
Cut tomatoes in half, combine with the other 2 T of dressing, and let the combined salad and tomatoes marinate separately for 15-30 minutes. To serve, stir tomatoes with vinaigrette into the salad, add the 2 tsp. chopped marjoram, and gently combine. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper and serve immediately.

An engine issue meant the team had to switch to a 2011-spec powerplant and a lack of practice for driver Bill Sweedler meant the car had to start at the back of the grid. His team-mate Townsend Bell took the start, and he was catching his class rivals when the gearbox started to misbehave on Lap 22. After pitting for repairs it was Swedler's turn, but he too was dogged by a half-shift issue.
ALMS will take its yearly break for teams to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The next event will be the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix, July 6-7 at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut.
Bill Sweedler: "It was a tough weekend all round. We are really pleased with how far the car has come since Long Beach, but we need some development and laps under our belt before we go to Lime Rock in July. I was able to turn some solid laps in the race when we went back out. It was nice to feel the progress that has been made by the Lotus AJR team since we ran at Long Beach three weeks ago. The team is going to continue on the development path during the Le Mans break, do some testing and keep moving forward."

Texas Master Naturalist Program Seeks Applicants
Training Classes Offered Across the State January-March
Austin, Texas — Thirteen chapters of the Texas Master Naturalist program have announced training classes across the state starting January through March for volunteers who want to learn about and help conserve natural resources.
The Texas Master Naturalist program, now with 38 chapters, aims to develop a corps of well-informed citizen volunteers who can help educate their communities about the management of natural resources. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas Cooperative Extension co-sponsor the Texas Master Naturalist Program statewide.
The main qualification needed to become a certified Texas Master Naturalist is a desire to learn and play an active part in conservation. Volunteers receive about 40 hours of training from educators and specialists from places such as universities, agencies, nature centers and museums. Training topics include interpretation and management of natural resources, ecological concepts, eco-regions of Texas and natural systems management.
Volunteers are expected to give 40 hours of service a year in community education, demonstration and habitat enhancement projects. They are also expected to pursue a minimum of eight hours of advance training in areas of personal interest.

LYE Town's title hopes have been boosted by the return of top striker Ricky Anslow.
Anslow, who proved a huge hit since arriving at Lye from AFC Wulfrunians last season, had moved to Chasetown two weeks ago.
Despite damaging his ankle in pre-season training, which forced him to miss the first six weeks of the season, Anslow went on to score 25 goals in 20 appearances before his move away.
However, he will now returned to Town's attack and join the man who was brought in to replace him, former Wolves man James Spray.
Spray scored in only his second start for Lye as they beat Black Country Rangers 2-0 last Saturday.
Lye chairman Brian Blakemore has welcomed Anslows return after the forward decided the move to Chasetown wasn't right for him.
He said: "We are delighted to have Ricky back with us at Lye. There is no issue at all. He left with our blessing and we have welcomed him back.
"He will really give us a boost for the end of the season. With him and James now in the squad we are a lot stronger in that area and have some very good options."
Lye's home game against Wellington Amateurs on Tuesday night had to be abandoned after a visiting player suffered a double leg fracture.
Next up for Town is a trip to third placed Sporting Khalsa on Saturday. Top-of-the-table Lye will be looking to extend the current 10 point gap between them and Sporting in the West Midlands Premier League.
Blakemore added: "I think it will be a tough game. Sporting Khalsa are still a danger and are still in with a chance of winning the league."

Although at first earlier in my development i didn't even notice that much of the time. Other than from the poor direction. Once you recognize that feel it's easy to feel that.
Another kind of slip that holds me firmly in the half hitting domain is a slip where the disc flies in the direction of the arm pull but still slips out of the fingers before the disc has a chance of pivoting the full range from palm to palm ejection to full pivot around the thumb lock. That is the index finger and the thumb pinching the disc after the disc has forced the other fingers straight. This lack of disc pivot is what i call a micro slip. It is a step in the right direction from the nooby early release syndrome and one can throw distance lines in no wind with speed 13 discs at sea level to over 400'. Considering Blake wrote recently that he thinks that 450' is about the tops of half hitting with current discs it is easy to see why i'm in the half hit domain.
I first noticed micro slips from high speed camera footage of myself throwing. I still don't feel the lack of disc pivot as such. Rather it's the other way around. The rare times when i do get disc pivots they are easy to feel. Not having that feel tells that boo there i went again. Stopping the wrist may be another issue and i suck at that. I've been thinking that i may seriously need to drill stand still right pec a lot more with reach back far away from the body to close to the right pec elbow first throw. That maximizes my wrist snap speed the best and is automated. The best out of all the variations i've tried so far. YMMV. And this is just the best way i know there may be better forms out there.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] July 30, 2007 High Expectations for Upcoming Dove, Teal Seasons AUSTIN, Texas -- The outlook for September's early migratory bird hunting in Texas looks promising, according to wildlife biologists with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Dove and teal are expected to flourish as above-normal rainfall through the summer has yielded excellent range conditions throughout much of the state. "Above-average precipitation statewide has created ideal habitat conditions for doves," said Jay Roberson, TPWD dove program leader. "I expect above-average production this year and hunt success should be higher provided doves are not dispersed." Roberson explained that the abundant seed production, predominately sunflower and croton, will help recently fledged birds to rapidly put on weight. But, quality range conditions could also cause doves to disperse as food sources become readily available and make managed fields less attractive early in the season. Dove season in the North Zone is set for Sept. 1-Oct. 30, with a 15-bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves; the Central Zone runs Sept. 1-Oct. 30 and reopens Dec. 26-Jan. 4, with a 12-bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves; and the South Zone is set for Sept. 21-Nov. 11, reopening Dec. 26-Jan. 12 with a 12 bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves. Possession limit is twice the daily bag. The Special South Texas Whitewing Zone, which now encompasses land west of I-35 and south of U. S. Highway 90, is open to white-winged dove afternoon-only (noon to sunset) hunting the first two Saturdays and Sundays in September. The daily bag limit is 12 birds, not more than four (4) mourning doves and two (2) white-tipped doves. The early teal season runs Sept. 15-23 in the High Plains Mallard Management Unit and Sept. 15-30 in all other Texas counties. The daily bag limit for teal is four. "There is lots of rain and water on the coast and we're looking at the third highest population of bluewings on record heading this way, so it could be unbelievable," said Dave Morrison, TPWD's waterfowl program leader. "Greenwings are also at near record highs. But, with all the water we have, it could spread the birds out. Everybody is going to get some of the gravy." Both greenwing and bluewing teal numbers this year are about 50 percent above the long-term population averages, said Morrison. "The September teal season has the potential to be one of the best in the last several years," he added. Because hunting conditions are so good, TPWD anticipates a large turnout for the dove season opener in the North and Central Zones and is urging hunters to purchase their hunting license early to avoid last-minute delays. Licenses go on sale Aug. 15 and can be purchased at all TPWD law enforcement offices and from more than 1,200 retail outlets statewide. Hunters are also reminded a state migratory game bird stamp is required for doves, waterfowl and sandhill cranes and in addition, a Federal Duck Stamp is needed to hunt teal. Dove and teal hunters should take note they may only use "plugged" shotguns capable of holding no more than three shotshells and if you are hunting teal be sure to carry only approved nontoxic shotshells into the field as lead shot is prohibited. If you don't have a place to hunt, TPWD offers opportunities for both dove and teal on managed public lands and leased private land. For $48, the price of an Annual Public Hunting Permit from TPWD, hunters can access more than a million acres of public hunting lands, including 155 units covering more than 56,000 acres leased primarily for hunting dove and other small game. TPWD's public hunting program leased the land using money generated by permit sales. While public hunting lands can be found throughout the state, most of the dove and small game leases occur along the I-35 and I-10 corridors within easy driving distance of the major metropolitan areas. Some areas offer special hunting opportunity for youth. For the latest dove hunting conditions across Texas, check out TPWD's Weekly Migratory Game Bird Report on the Web starting in early September. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/ -30-

Nearly 72,000 Californians have had their mortgages reduced or forgiven under terms of a multi-state mortgage settlement with five major banks, according to a report Thursday from the state appointee monitoring the banks' compliance.
"California is faring very well under this deal," said Katherine Porter, the UC Irvine law professor who is serving as the state's monitor of the settlement with 48 state attorneys general.
About 41 percent of the relief so far has gone to Californians, she said.
"We think that's the result of two things -- a California commitment by three banks and the attorney general who made itclear how serious she was about enforcement of this deal. My office also worked really hard to educate borrowers," Porter said.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris held out for a special "California commitment" from three of the six banks -- Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America -- which is increasing the state's share.
The three banks committed to $12 billion in principal reductions and the appointment of a monitor. "The banks that participated in the California commitment are exceeding what they said they would do to help," pushing the expected total of all forms of relief to struggling home owners in the state to $20 billion, Porter said.
An additional 24,377 borrowers are "in progress" on mortgage reductions, and the total is expected to reach 100,000 before the settlement ends. Out of a total of $16.9 billion so far, $7.5 billion has been in first or second mortgage reductions or forgiveness, Porter said.
Other relief includes assistance on short sales and "cash for keys" to homeowners who want to leave their homes.
Six banks agreed to a $25 billion multi-state settlement of charges stemming from a "robo-signing" scandal involving improper foreclosures. They are Citibank, JP Morgan Chase/Washington Mutual, Bank of America/Countrywide, Wells Fargo/Wachovia, and Ally Financial

Home Depot expects to be busy this spring and is hiring 80,000 seasonal employees, 10,000 more than last year, to keep pace with the demand.
The hiring announcement by Home Depot follows a similar announcement by Lowe's two weeks earlier that it planned to hire 45,000 seasonal employees. The increased hiring levels suggest the nation's two largest home improvement retailers are optimistic about consumers demand amid a recovery in the housing market.
"Spring is always a special season for us, when we can offer employment opportunities for literally tens of thousands of Americans," said Tim Crow, EVP of human resources for Home Depot. "We find some of our best associates during our peak season, and many of them have built long, meaningful careers with us."
Home Depot operates 2,256 stores in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Two weeks earlier, Lowe's said it planned to hire approximately 45,000 seasonal employees as well as 9,000 permanent part-time employees at its 1,745 stores in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Seasonal employees typically work between 20 and 25 hours per week throughout the spring and summer when Home Depot and Lowe's stores are busiest with contractors and do-it-yourselfers are taking on indoor and outdoor projects. Many of the positions entail demanding, physical labor, but with the nation's unemployment rate stubbornly hovering around 8% both retailers are likely to have plenty of interest from job seekers.

The Legacy of Sacco and Vanzetti: Eighty Years AfterHistorians/History
T. S. Elliott once described April as the cruelest month. Perhaps he should have considered August. Recent weeks have witnessed observations marking the sixty-second anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yet, the eightieth anniversary of the executions of Sacco and Vanzetti on August 23, 1927 is drawing less attention. Of course, we are talking about the lives of two men as opposed to thousands. But just as with the atomic bomb, the deaths of Sacco and Vanzetti force us to confront challenging questions about the American past and future.
On April 15, 1920, the robbery of a shoe factory payroll in South Braintree, Massachusetts resulted in the murders of a paymaster and security guard. Massachusetts authorities charged Italian immigrants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti with the crime. In addition, to their status as immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti were followers of the Italian anarchist Luigi Galleani, who was suspected by the American government of involvement in the bombing of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer's home. Galleani was deported in June 1919, while Galleanist Andrea Salcedo died in May 1920 while in FBI custody. Thus, the Sacco and Vanzetti case must be understood within the context of the post World War I Red Scare.
Following the Bolshevik Revolution, there was widespread fear that revolutionary unrest would sweep across Europe and threaten the United States. This climate of fear was also an opportune time for the government to undermine leftist organizations such as the Socialist Party and Industrial Workers of the World, who enjoyed considerable support before the First World War. Citing threats to stability, the Justice Department instituted deportations and arrests of so-called radicals.
Allied with these fears of disorder and revolution were concerns regarding the rising tide of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe. Critics of the new immigration maintained that those entering the United States from nations such as Italy lacked an appreciation for Nordic democratic traditions and would drive wages down with their low standard of living. Typical of this attitude was a 1922 piece for the Saturday Evening Post by novelist Kenneth Roberts, complaining that it is demoralizing "when great numbers of men, accustomed all their lives to living on starvation rations, come to American and take jobs at low wages and then, in their determination to save money, crowd into wretched quarters and live in squalor and filth and darkness on the fraction of the money which an American workingmen must spend in order to live decently. Such a proceeding lowers the standard of living in America."
This is the milieu in which Sacco and Vanzetti were tried for murder. Although the two immigrants proclaimed their innocence, much of the case focused upon the anarchist and antiwar beliefs of the two defendants captured by presiding Judge Webster Thayer's reported comment that he was going "to fry those anarchist bastards." The evidence against Sacco and Vanzetti was flimsy at best, and many observers of the trial perceived the convictions as evidence of prejudice against anarchism and the new immigration. Appeals from intellectuals in the United States and around the world, as well as global protests by workers, failed to halt the executions.
On the fiftieth anniversary of their deaths, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, citing the prejudicial atmosphere in which the trial was conducted, signed legislation exonerating Sacco and Vanzetti. In the conclusion of his proclamation, Dukakis called upon the citizens of Massachusetts to "pause in their daily endeavors to reflect upon these tragic events, and draw from their historic lessons the resolve to prevent the forces of intolerance, fear, and hatred from ever again uniting to overcome the rationality, wisdom, and fairness to which our legal system aspires."
This proclamation, unfortunately, resonates all too well with the climate of intolerance in contemporary America as concerns about security are employed to justify opposition to immigration from Mexico. Fear of the immigrant other may now be cloaked under the guise of national security. We must protect our border in order to prevent another 9/11 terrorist attack. Immigration reform is now perceived as being soft on terrorism, even though there is no evidence of a terrorist attack emanating from Mexico. In fact, terrorist plots aimed at the United States have been uncovered in Canada, not Mexico. Yet, it is the Mexican, not the Canadian, who draws the ire of those supporting greater immigration restrictions. Anti-immigrant attitudes coupled with anti-radicalism promote an environment of xenophobia which cost Sacco and Vanzetti their lives and endanger our civil liberties today.
Folksinger Woody Guthrie recognized this connection, and in 1947 during the Second Red Scare he compiled a collection of eleven songs entitled Ballads of Sacco and Vanzetti. Recognizing that with his rural origins in Oklahoma and Texas, some might find Guthrie an odd choice to write the story of two Italian anarchists residing on the East Coast, Guthrie sought to build a union bridge between Oklahoma and Italy. Guthrie wrote a journal entry dedicated to Sacco and Vanzetti in which he stated, "You are Italian and I am from Oklahoma, but I have left out from Oklahoma to do some bigger jobs, just like you left your native house and home back in Italy." Guthrie perceived his migrants from Oklahoma as similar to the immigrants from Italy who were forced to leave their homes and seek a new promised land. Guthrie concluded, "I saw the same vision that you did and all of us dust bowl families saw your same vision. It is the one big union we all saw. It shines just as bright over your Italy as over the prairies and the flatlands of my dust bowl." As Peter La Chapelle suggests in his account of the "Okie" migration to Southern California, Guthrie's genius was to use the concept of refugee to "form a symbolic alliance" between migrants from the Southern Plains and immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe.
While Guthrie found the legacy of Sacco and Vanzetti relevant to the 1930s Dust Bowl migration as well as the post World War II Red Scare, filmmaker Peter Cooper's 2007 documentary Sacco and Vanzetti makes the argument for the case's contemporary relevance. The director maintains, "The case clearly has urgent lessons to offer American nearly eighty years after its tragic conclusion. As in the 'red scare' of Sacco and Vanzetti's time, present-day Americans have allowed fear and jingoism to erode our civil liberties, scapegoat immigrants, and compromise our judicial system." Thus, the filmmaker perceives disturbing parallels between the fates of Sacco and Vanzetti and contemporary issues regarding immigration restriction and limitations placed upon civil liberties in the wake the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In a recent piece for the Journal of American History, Lisa McGirr concludes that the story of Sacco and Vanzetti will continue to resonate with a global community frustrated by the gap between the rhetoric of the United States as a beacon for liberty and the reality of inequality and injustice in the land of the free and home of the brave. Eighty years ago Sacco and Vanzetti provided human faces for the persecution endured by so many faceless immigrants over the course of American history. To honor the legacy and sacrifice of Sacco and Vanzetti, let us rededicate ourselves to the promise of American life as a home for immigrants and as a model for freedom of expression. Perhaps August does not have to be the cruelest month.

I suppose it's too much these days to ask people to actually READ a book before they comment on it. Yet some things never change.
In 2007, as in 1927, people are still eager to condemn Sacco and Vanzetti based on personal politics rather than consider the evidence which I clearly laid out -- without comment on guilt or innocence -- in my book "Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, The Murders, and The Judgment of Mankind."
Why, I wonder, must kneejerk leftists shout "innocent," and kneejerk conservatives shout "guilty," both basing their hasty verdicts on single facts culled from single articles on the case publsihed in newspapers of their own political persuasion? Have we learned nothing from the case?

Serge Lelouche - 8/24/2007
Jason Blake Keuter - 8/24/2007
The judge in the Sacco and Vanzetti case was clearly a bigot and the judicial proceedings not legitimate, but the Sacco and Vanzetti case is used by the left as if it is somehow represntative of something, and in this post, it appears to be representative of a government exploiting a climate of fear in order to go after socialists. The presumption underlyinig this statement is that the government harbors an anti-socialist agenda (i.e. it's the tool of capitalists) and is lying in wait for the opportune time to pounce. The opportune time is when the masses are in the stir of some kind of irrational paranoia that operates against their own interests. Hence the climate of fear.
Thus, the people are irrational (drummed into this hysterical state by a government anxious to successfully implement its shameful handmaiden of industrialists agenda) while the government is entirely rational and manipulative.
But Sacco and Vanzetti cannot be taken to be representative of the immigrant experience, nor can the government be considered to be opportunistic. The socialists it was going after were entirelty hostile to the government; but what that really means is they were hostile to the people who elected it.
The real problem with this leftist tripe is its insistence that capitalism and democracy are incompatible. Socialism is an anti-democratic and anti-liberal doctrine that rejects anything other than a socialist outcome as a perversion of democracy.
As for the "faceless suffering immigrants", the dominant and overwhelmingly obvious reality of thier historical experience rest in the incredible gains they made socially, economically and culturally.
Oscar Chamberlain - 8/22/2007
Actually I gather that Sacco was clearly guilty but Vanzetti was probably innocent. In any event, a legal lynching is wrong, even if the defendants are guilty.
Despite that, your complaint is valid. This article should have addressed the question of guilt. As noted here that has been at the center of much of the recent examination of the case.
To not address the question of guilt invites a peremptory dismissal of the article. That's too bad, as the author raises some good points.
Serge Lelouche - 8/20/2007
Ron reminds of a lot of hs teachers, the bad kind anyway. He learned everything he needed to know in 1968, and he's hardly revised his lecture notes since (except to say how Abu Ghraib is just like Auschwitz). . .
C. Van Carter - 8/20/2007
Sacco was certainly guilty. Vanzetti may not have been, but in order to maintain solidarity with the cause, he and his fellow radicals chose not to take the steps necessary to clear him.
It's dishonest, or sheer ignorance, to refer to Luigi Galleani and his followers as a "so-called" radicals. They were radicals. Galleani, a Communist and anarchist, advocated the violent overthrow of the government, he published a bomb making manual. His followers were responsible for various bombings and a mass poisoning. His deportation was deserved.
As for Woody Guthrie, the connection he recognized was that the Comintern had made the Sacco and Vanzetti a cause célèbre.
Serge Lelouche - 8/19/2007
Wow, an entire article on this very interesting topic that fails to address any of the evidence that has come forward in the past few years! I know the author has a polemic to make about how America is baaaad, but how about some facts?
For those interested, both the NY Times and NPR had very interesting reassessments. Looks like the guys did it after all . .

Emancipation Proclamation
Lipscomb Academy Students First to See Emancipation Proclamation Exhibit
Lipscomb Academy seventh graders were the first group to see the original Emancipation Proclamation document as well as the original 13th Amendment document during the seven-day exhibit in Nashville, Tenn.
The proclamation and the 13th Amendment were on display at the Tennessee State Museum. This display was the only stop in the Southeast on the 150th Anniversary tour.
|7th graders at the Tennessee State Museum ready to view the original Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment
The exhibit opened Tuesday, February 12, the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The Civil War era document, signed by Lincoln in 1863, was viewed for only 72 hours over a seven-day period because exposure to light can be harmful to the fragile document.
Rita Cochrane, Lipscomb Academy Seventh Grade Social Studies Teacher, first learned about the opportunity when she received an email from the Tennessee Council for Social Studies saying the proclamation would be in Nashville for a limited amount of time and due to high demand to see the document, a lottery had been set up for people to be able to view it.
Cochrane immediately responded and entered Lipscomb Academy in the lottery to view the historical document and weeks later heard back that Lipscomb had been accepted.
In preparation for the field trip, the seventh graders took part in a special presentation about the proclamation the history behind it. The class was excited to be able to observe Black History Month in this very special way.
"I thought it was so important that our students understand the implication of what the Emancipation Proclamation meant to our nation; not just for one culture, but for all people," said Cochrane.
When the seventh grade class entered the Tennessee State Museum, they were told that of the 18,000 reservations, they were the first group to view the document in Nashville.
"At first it seemed like just an old piece of paper, but then you realize you wouldn't be here today without it and that makes a world of difference how you view it," said Lipscomb Academy seventh grader, Alexis Odom.

The U.S. Air Force is gathering information to help it decide if a very light jet (VLJ)–typically a jet with a maximum takeoff weight below 10,000 pounds–could replace its fleet of Raytheon T-1A Jayhawk trainers. The service conducted similar market research in 2006.
The USAF issued its latest request for information (RFI) for a VLJ to support its specialized undergraduate pilot training, multi-place training track last November. Industry responses were due in early January. One manufacturer, Eclipse Aerospace of Albuquerque, N.M., announced that it responded to the RFI with a proposal based on its new Eclipse 550, a development version of the Eclipse 500 VLJ.
The RFI provides a sketch of the potential replacement trainer. The aircraft should be certified to FAA Part 25 airworthiness standard and accommodate an instructor pilot and two students, one in a jump seat with a clear view of the flight instruments. An aft section accommodating up to four passenger seats is desired. The aircraft should be capable of multiple missions to include simulated air refueling and tolerate "normally expected student errors," such as hard landings. Among basic performance specifications are the capability to sustain 340 knots calibrated airspeed in moderate turbulence and to cruise at 41,000 feet. In a response to contractor questions, the service said that new aircraft are not mandatory and that used aircraft are "permissible."
Eclipse Aerospace said its Eclipse twinjet is 70 percent more fuel efficient and 70 percent less costly to support than the existing trainer. The company contends that the Eclipse would save the USAF $1 billion in operations and maintenance costs over 10 years. The model 550 is being built under the same type certificate as the current 500, but comes with an updated avionics suite and auto throttles. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the third quarter. The aircraft is being certified to the less stringent FAA Part 23 standards, but "all applications relative under Part 25 can be demonstrated by Eclipse," the company told AIN.
The Jayhawk, a military version of the Beechjet 400A, is a twin-engine trainer used by the USAF's Air Education and Training Command at air bases in Oklahoma, Mississippi and Texas to train student pilots to fly airlift and tanker aircraft. The service reports an inventory of 178 aircraft, with a mission-capable rate of about 80 percent at a given location. It trains about 700 students a year.

I've not worked on an Eclipse but I've roamed around one and I would think a Citation Mustang would be a better choice from a point of maintenance and reliablility. The Mustang's a proven plane with I think over 300 flying not to mention Cessna support is excellent.

Dear Uncle Sam,
Please go with a Cessna Citation. I have worked for Cessna Citation Service Center, and worked for a small Charter Part 135 outfit, and when it came to support, first class. It may cost just a little more, but you will be getting a better aircraft, better service from about 8 Service Centers, and less AOGs.

None of the VLJ aircraft (Eclipse, Cessna Mustang, Embraer Phenom) are certified to 14 CFR Part 25. If that certification standard is what the USAF wants, they will have to look at heavier metal.

Aerospace Guy,
You're correct–there are no Part 25 VLJs, and it would never be economical to certify a small jet to those standards. This was just a request for information, not a request for proposal. Eclipse told me that this was merely a "wish list" on the Air Force's part and that reality would set in after the RFIs are submitted. There are also several other things that the USAF asked for that no VLJ can, or ever will, be able to do. But at least it's a step in the right direction to cut defense costs in a way that doesn't harm military readiness.

Children's Health
Strange Behavior in Little Girl
There is a little girl who, since she was 3 or 4 months old, when she was in a car seat or in a shopping cart seat would grab her private parts and stretch her legs out like she was doing exercises. She would also get like a far off look on her face. The doctor has been asked if it could be like a slight case of some kind of Autism or something because I have heard children with Autism do repetitive things. Now she is 5 and does this sometimes when she`s sitting anywhere. I started wondering if it could be sexual. I worry eventually it could get embarising for her and have tried to tell her not to do it without drawing to much attention about it. Do you have any ideas? I don`t think she has been sexually molested or anything. Like I said she has been doing this since she was 3 or 4 months old.
Hello! I believe that what you are describing is sexual pleasure in this little girl, be it a full orgasm or simply pleasurable sensations associated with touch or pressure on her genitalia.
Many adults take it for granted that babies and young children do not have sexual feelings until puberty. All of the body parts, muscles and nerves needed for experiencing sexual pleasure are present at birth. Parents of little boys regularly see erections in their sons from infancy. There is no reason to think that little girls cannot also experience pleasure from clitoral touch for cleaning purposes or just the way diapers or clothing move over the genitalia. Because the clitoris is not as evident as a penis and it just doesn't seem right somehow to think of sexual feelings in babies and very young children, adults can become worried over what are normal experiences and feelings for all humans.
Thankfully you understand that these are normal feelings and do not wish to make the little girl feel badly about herself or her body and what feels good to her. Now at five years of age, you can talk with her about how she is feeling at those times and share with her that those good feelings are private feelings to enjoy in a private place such as her room. You can compliment her when she goes to her room and not make an issue of it if she forgets, but politely remind her that her room is where she should be.
There is a very interesting articcle from the journal Pediatrics from 2005 describing 12 children treated for seizures, a variety of GI problems, and movement disorders who ultimately were found simply to be self-stimulating themselves. They had received biopsies, electroencephalograms, MRI scans and other tests.
The self-stimulation that is more characterisitc of autism is whirling, rocking on the feet or while sitting, and head banging. If this little girl:
it is very unlikely she has very mild autism or anything seriously wrong with her at all.
- is developmentally normal for her age;
- plays well with other children instead of preferring to be alone;
- has fully understood, fluent speech for communication; and
- eats a variety of foodsIf you observe any problems in these areas, a good developmental evaluation should be sought from a child neurologist or a developmental and behavioral pediatric specialist. Both are most easily located at major children's medical centers.
Dixon and Stein identify the following signs as suggesting that there is a problem with masturbation:
1) It is compulsive and interferes with normal play and school activities.
2) It is done in public even though the child has been directed not to do so in public.
3) It is done in groups.
4) It is done with objects.
You have not mentioned anything like these issues, which is certainly positive.
I hope this information is helpful and very happy holidays!

OAKLAND -- A team of leading Oakland businessmen is seeking control of a soon-to-be vacated shipping terminal where they want the A's to build a waterfront baseball stadium.
While A's co-owner Lew Wolff once again Wednesday rejected a ballpark at Howard Terminal, just north of Jack London Square, the Oakland Waterfront Ballpark, LLC, is moving ahead to obtain permits and regulatory approval for a stadium on the 50-acre site in hopes that Wolff or a future team owner will build it.
The A's, who play in one of the oldest major league ballparks, are being forced to reconsider their stadium options in Oakland after being repeatedly stymied in their bid to move to San Jose. For the first time in nearly a decade, Wolff last month expressed some openness to building at the Coliseum complex in East Oakland. But he has repeatedly said the waterfront plan is not feasible.
Wolff met with Oakland officials Wednesday to learn more about a city proposal to transform the Coliseum complex into a sports and entertainment hub. He said via email before the meeting that he would not comment on the discussions.
The waterfront site is favored by business leaders who see it as a magnet for development around Jack London Square and the city center.
The five-member consortium, which includes Clorox CEO Don Knauss, Doug Boxer and former Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream CEO T. Gary Rogers, already commissioned artist renderings for a waterfront stadium. Last week, they formally asked the Port of Oakland to enter into exclusive negotiations with the goal of developing a ballpark and other amenities at the terminal.
The agreement would include an option period of two to three years during which the businessmen would work to obtain the necessary permits and perform an estimated $1 million environmental review of the site.
"Our primary goal has always been to keep the A's in Oakland," Boxer said in a prepared statement. "And, regardless of what occurs at the Coliseum site, our efforts at Howard Terminal are designed to ensure that there is an Oakland waterfront site ready to go for a new A's ballpark."
Wolff, who would have to pay to build the stadium, has countered that the waterfront site is too far from BART and would entail an expensive environmental cleanup -- a claim rejected by stadium proponents.
A stadium at the port also would require state regulators to find that there is no viable maritime use for the property. The port is studying three maritime proposals for the terminal, although one of them would be temporary and another would only take up a few acres.
Port spokesman Marilyn Sandifur said port executives are evaluating the proposals, but had no comment on them.
Mayor Jean Quan, who appointed all five members of the Port Commission, praised the consortium's push for a waterfront stadium and said it was up to Wolff to decide between that site and the Coliseum.
"My main goal is to keep the A's in Oakland," she said. "As long as they stay, I'm happy."

Daily vs weekly... Nobody ever meditated tomorrow!
The rotary engine of Buddhist progress is sila-samadhi-pañña or morality-meditation-wisdom. Meditation without morality is an uphill battle. Morality is much easier acquired with the help of meditation. Wisdom grows best from morality and meditation. If we cannot sit and meditate, we can work on morality and understanding.
Don't we generally overrate meditation and underrate morality? And wouldn't understanding Dependent Origination give meditation a power boost?

TAMMY STERN of Mill Valley triumphantly hoisted her bag of four gray "SF Giants World Series Champions 2012" T-shirts — one for each member of her family — as she left the Sports Authority store in Novato on Monday.
She drove 20 miles and spent $90 on Giants paraphernalia, and she wasn't the only one, by far. Marin sporting goods stores saw brisk business Monday morning and even Sunday night as Giants fans crowded the aisles, snapping up memorabilia to commemorate the World Series sweep.
"We opened at 7 a.m. today and there were people waiting outside. In just a few minutes there were about 80 people in the store," Jerral Agbayani, a team leader at the Sports Authority store in Novato's Vintage Oaks shopping center, said Monday. "On a normal Monday morning we would have maybe one or two people."
Tables at the store were piled high with the gray T-shirts. Additional items such as caps, hoodies, pins and pennants are expected to become available in a couple of days as manufacturers churn out the high-demand keepsakes.
Though 7 a.m. might seem early for shoppers, Sports Authority was actually mobbed Sunday night, immediately after the Giants defeated the Detroit Tigers in the fourth game of the World Series.
"We came in last night two minutes after the last out," said Lori Bailey of Novato. "My 13-year-old daughter Sarah was all, 'Let's go, Mom, let's go!' We were third in line. By the time I left there must have been 150 people here. We were all yelling, 'Yeah!' and high-fiving each other. We had our own parade."
While Sports Authority had goods on hand Sunday night, T&B Sports in San Rafael closed at 4 p.m. Sunday. One of T&B's owners, Jeff Brusati, drove to Hayward at 5 a.m. Monday and stood in line for two hours for T-shirts to sell when the store opened at 9 a.m.
His efforts were rewarded. "It's been terrific," said Anthony Brusati, who is Jeff's son and a team sales representative at the San Rafael T&B store. "It's absolutely a boon to sales."
At the San Rafael Big 5, "We had a rush between 9 and 10 a.m. and now it's starting to slow down a little," said Jesse Sanchez, the store's manager, around 11 a.m.
Kelly Gallagher of Point Reyes Station stopped by Sports Authority to pick up some Giants gear. A longtime fan, Gallagher said he remembered seeing Willie Mays and Willie McCovey play.
Tammy Stern, the fan who drove in from Mill Valley, said, "Our children went to school today wearing the 2010 champions' shirts. We can't wait to wear the 2012 shirts. This is very exciting for our family."

Norfolk's police and crime commissioner Stephen Bett takes up new role
PUBLISHED: 16:00 21 November 2012 | UPDATED: 10:23 22 November 2012
Norfolk's first police and crime commissioner has reiterated his election pledge that "public safety" will be his number one priority as he officially takes up the role.
Stephen Bett, former chairman of the police authority, tomorrow formally takes up the post after winning last week's landmark election.
Mr Bett, who resigned from the Conservative party in September to embark on an independent campaign, today signed a declaration of acceptance of office at the offices of the police authority, now the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, in Wymondham.
The historic act was witnessed by a number of distinguished guests including Norfolk's Lord Lieutenant Richard Jewson, chief constable Phil Gormley and Robin Chapman, chairman of the police authority which has now been abolished.
Mr Bett said: "Having opposed the introduction of PCCs, I decided that the best way to continue working towards a safer Norfolk was to stand as a candidate.
"I and my team ran a 'safety' campaign - keep Norfolk police safe from party politics; safe from privatisation for the sake of dogma - and safe for everyone who lives, works and visits our county. My number one priority will be public safety and I won't compromise on that."
Mr Jewson said: "Could I just congratulate Stephen on winning this election and being willing to take up this role."
"Norfolk it seems to me has been very well served by the police force for a very long time and we should be grateful for it."
He added: "No doubt this new direction will lead to some new challenges which will have to be overcome and I'm sure we all hope Stephen will overcome his private reservations about the need for this. I'm sure he will and I'm sure the continuity will be of good value to Norfolk."

The Santa Clara District Attorney's Office says it erroneously filed an arrest warrant for 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks after allegations that he hit a teammate on the head with a beer bottle.
Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu-Towery said Wednesday that the office is still investigating and will decide next week whether to bring charges. She said there is no outstanding arrest warrant.
Prosecutors sought the warrant last week to arrest Brooks on suspicion of committing felony assault with a deadly weapon. A judge signed it last Thursday, but the county district attorney's office asked to have it put on hold the next day, Santa Clara Superior Court spokesman Joe Macaluso said.
Police statements accompanying the warrant application allege Brooks hit Divens in the head with a beer bottle three times and then punched him in the face during an argument over whether Brooks was fit to drive, causing a 3-inch laceration to his forehead. The alleged incident occurred in front of Brooks' home early on June 8.
Investigators were told Brooks was intoxicated and had threatened to get a gun.
Although Divens wanted to press charges against Brooks at the time, he decided not to do so on June 13. It was explained in the documents that Divens changed his mind because the pair had resolved the situation and further legal action would have been "bad for both of their careers."
While Brooks is a key part of the Niners' 3-4 defense, Divens is a bottom-of-the-roster lineman.
The 49ers issued a statement about the alleged assault on Wednesday: "We are aware of the situation involving Ahmad Brooks. Out of respect for the legal process, the club will have no further comment at this time."
Brooks was a second-team All-Pro in San Francisco's elite linebacker corps last season, helping the team advance to Super Bowl XLVII. He has been with the team since 2008.
Before he was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2006 supplemental draft, Brooks was dismissed from the University of Virginia football program for multiple problems off the field. The Bengals cut Brooks before the 2008 season.
