LEW (1,642 a.) adjoined the parish boundary on
the west, north, and north-east, Aston's fields in
the south-east, Bampton's fields in the south,
and Highmoor brook in the south-west. All
those boundaries, mostly established before the
later 18th century, are discussed above. (fn. 30)
Abingdon Lane, an ancient route leading
south-eastwards towards Thames crossings at
Shifford and Newbridge, ran along the township's northern edge, and until inclosure c. 1821
continued across Lew heath into Aston; (fn. 31) probably it was the 'old way' mentioned in 969. (fn. 32) A
stone causeway excavated on Elm Bank ditch
north of Hill View, evidently the stone 'bridge'
or 'ford' mentioned in 10th-century charters,
suggests an east-west route perhaps from Ducklington to Lew and thence to Bampton, which
presumably intersected Abingdon Lane, (fn. 33) and a
'highway' running north-eastwards from Abingdon Lane into Ducklington, probably south of
Barley Park wood, was mentioned in 1318. (fn. 34)
Another 10th-century 'way' ran probably northeastwards along Lew's south-western boundary,
and continued presumably across the later open
fields, connecting perhaps with the surviving
back lane on which Manor Farm stands, or with
a roughly parallel green lane which survived
until inclosure. (fn. 35) The Witney-Bampton road
through Lew village, presumably also ancient,
formerly met the Brize Norton road just north
of Bampton; it was superseded as the chief route
in 1771 by a turnpike running west of Lew
barrow from a tollgate on Lew's northern
boundary, which met the Brize Norton road near
another tollgate at Venn bridge. (fn. 36) That road was
abandoned at inclosure, when the turnpike was
rerouted through Lew village and a new section
to the Brize Norton road was built across former
open fields; the road was disturnpiked in 1874. (fn. 37)
Also at inclosure Abingdon Lane was replaced
by a new road to Yelford which left the Witney
road just north of Lew village, and a road
southwards to Bampton was established across
former open fields via later Mount Owen
Farm. (fn. 38) No carriers are known, but there was a
receiving office by the 1850s, at first in Church
(formerly Post Office) Farmhouse, and by 1921
in later Post Office Cottage north of the church.
It closed between 1939 and 1971. (fn. 39)
Cropmarks, including Bronze-Age ringditches, have been noted chiefly in the
south-west of the township near the Bampton
boundary. (fn. 40) A prominent round-barrow west of
the later hamlet is undated but probably early
Anglo-Saxon, (fn. 41) and a settlement named from it
existed presumably in 984 when Aethelred
granted land 'at the barrow' (aet Hlaewe) to his
'minister' Aelfwine. (fn. 42) Three villani and 3 bordarii
were recorded on two small estates in Lew in
1086, but much of the later township was included
in the royal manor of Bampton and was not
separately described. (fn. 43)
Up to 33 of the tenants and freeholders listed
in 1279 may have resided, and since others
may have been omitted (fn. 44) there were probably
between 30 and 40 households. At least 27
inhabitants were taxed in 1306, 30 in 1316, and
38 in 1327, but in 1377 poll tax was paid by only
25 inhabitants over 14, (fn. 45) suggesting that the effects
of 14th-century plague had been catastrophic.
The township may have suffered further from the
15th-century depopulation evident elsewhere in the
parish, (fn. 46) and no more than 14 inhabitants contributed to 16th-century subsidies; (fn. 47) only 34
male inhabitants were listed in 1642, and 22
houses were assessed for hearth tax in 1662, half
of them on only one or two hearths. (fn. 48) High
numbers of burials were recorded in 1728-30,
during the 1760s, and in 1790, but from the
1750s baptisms usually outnumbered burials (fn. 49)
and by 1801 there were 222 inhabitants and 36
houses. The population rose to 266, accommodated
in 46 houses, by 1821, but fell steadily thereafter
to only 92 in 1901, when 6 out of 34 surviving
houses were vacant. Despite a slight increase to
116 in 1921 it continued to fall during the 20th
century, and in 1991 was 59. (fn. 50)
Figure 9:
Lew c. 1812
The base and part of the shaft of an apparently
late medieval cross survive east of the Witney-Bampton road near the modern church, (fn. 51) on the
edge of what may formerly have been a small,
triangular green: (fn. 52) the surname 'at green' was
recorded in the 13th and 14th centuries, (fn. 53) and
cottages set back from the road still line its
probable eastern edge along what is now an
approach to Lew House. Early settlement may
not have been clearly nucleated, however. Freehold tenements c. ½ km. south of the hamlet on
the modern Bampton road, including University
Farm and neighbouring cottages, were established by the 17th century and possibly much
earlier, (fn. 54) and the medieval surname 'at well' may
indicate settlement south of University Farm
along the putative loth-century route across the
later open fields, though known cropmarks are
not medieval. (fn. 55) The site of Manor Farm was
occupied by the late 16th century and possibly
from the Middle Ages, (fn. 56) and by the 18th century
there were farmhouses along the southern edge
of the heath, some attached to the chief Bampton
manor and presumably long established. (fn. 57) Of
those, Lower Farm includes a datestone inscribed RIM 1675, perhaps for Robert Jeeves
(or Geeves) (d. 1703) and his wife Margery, (fn. 58)
and a neighbouring farmhouse formerly attached
to the same manor was demolished in the late
19th century. (fn. 59) Cottages built 'on the waste'
before 1700, perhaps including two said to have
no common rights in 1609, were presumably
those on Lew heath at Hill View or Hill Houses,
shown on a map of 1767, (fn. 60) and in the 19th
century the site seems to have included up to
8 or 9 separate labourers' dwellings. (fn. 61) Those
remaining were cleared in the 20th century, and
the existing house was newly built. (fn. 62)
A few farmhouses and cottages of 17th- and
18th-century origin, some of them fairly
substantial, reflect Lew's status as a small
agricultural community with some moderately
prosperous yeoman farmers. (fn. 63) Most are of
limestone rubble with stone-slated roofs,
though Thatched Cottage near University
Farm retains its thatch; both thatch (for agricultural buildings) and slate were mentioned
in the 18th century. (fn. 64) The most notable
building is Lew House, so called by 1909, (fn. 65) on
the east side of the putative green, a large
L-shaped building of several periods owned in
the late 18th century and earlier 19th by the
Arnatts, then the chief farming family in the
township; (fn. 66) it passed later to a succession of
farmers and landowners, among them H. B.
Arnaud, who sublet it, and from the 1930S the
Radclyffe family. (fn. 67) Two ranges of 17th-century
origin survive at the house's north-east corner,
of which one, formerly the main range, contains late 17th-century panelling. The
other, a cross wing which incorporates the
present main entrance, has been much altered but was probably at the parlour end. No
trace survives of an early service wing. In 1786
an additional block with a dressed stone gable,
perhaps housing a kitchen, was built alongside
the cross wing probably by Jonathan Arnatt
(d. 1799) and his wife Elizabeth, (fn. 68) and in 1909
the house was extensively remodelled by the
architect John Belcher: (fn. 69) a porch was added to
the entrance front, and some fenestration and
interior decoration were renewed, possibly including some panelling in the 17th-century
range. The long, irregular service wing, incorporating former outbuildings, has an attached
range of thatched kennels.
In the 19th and 20th centuries Lew, with its
falling population, experienced little new
building, and the only additions of note were
the church, built in 1841, and the Congregational chapel (later a school) near University
Farm, built c. 1840. (fn. 70) Mount Owen Farm, just
within the township boundary in the southeast and named reportedly after a vicar of
Bampton, was built in the 1830s after inclosure. (fn. 71) A single pair of council houses was built
opposite University Farm before 1960, and
isolated houses were built on the more easterly
Bampton road, but otherwise 20th-century development was confined to restoration and
extension of some older houses. (fn. 72) Water was
supplied by Witney R.D.C. by 1939, and electricity was available by the late 1950s. (fn. 73)
A fire in 1714 destroyed several houses, causing
losses valued at over £160. (fn. 74) A public house
licensed by 1754 was presumably the later
Chequers, so called by 1773 and sold in 1800 with
an associated blacksmith's shop, (fn. 75) but not mentioned later.
The surname 'at well' was recorded in the 13th
and 14th centuries, (fn. 76) but no medieval holy wells
are known. Wellhead furlong, recorded in 1746,
adjoined the township's southern boundary
south of University Farm, and a spring nearby
was noted in 1884; (fn. 77) both lay close to the putative
early medieval route across the later open
fields. (fn. 78)

The Albemarle GOP Headquarters hosted a crowd of more than 150 people to see Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham rally for Mitt Romney and the Republican ticket.
"If there were two people I could've met, other than Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan themselves, it would be these two. They're great Republican leaders. They're great leaders, period," Melissa Young, a Charlottesville resident, said.
And it's not only the people eligible to vote who know how important Virginia is in this election.
"This could be the state that selects our new president," 11-year-old Daniel Brown said. "It's important for young people to come to these things and see the energy and meet these really cool people,"
Graham and McCain explained the importance of the commonwealth in this election with only three days left.
"Virginia has the chance to turn it back to the way it should be.
Virginia has the chance to get our economy back on the road to
recovery. And to put a commander in chief in place that's not going to
let four people go eight hours without any help," Graham said.
"There is a way for Mitt Romney to win the presidency without Virginia
but I'll tell you, it would not be easy. We know how important Virginia
is," McCain said.
McCain was in Romney's position four years ago, and he says he remembers exactly what those last few days were like. But he says this time around, there's a lot more at stake.
"This election is probably in many ways more important than the one
that I lost. In my view, we cannot take four more years very easily of
this presidency and his policies. And the debt that they've laid on
our children and grandchildren," he said.
With the finish line quickly approaching, both campaigns have their
eye on the state of Virginia, as time ticks away until Tuesday.

DENVER (AP) - Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points and had a game-saving block at the buzzer, helping the Denver Nuggets hold on for a 98-96 win over a Los Angeles Lakers team playing without Kobe Bryant on Thursday night.
With time winding down, Anthony stuffed Derek Fisher's shot as Denver won its fourth straight.
The slumping Lakers gave Bryant the night off to rest a swollen right knee and an aching right index finger. Los Angeles has now dropped four of its last five games, but remains in control for the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The Lakers needs just one more win in their last four to wrap it up. Either that or a Denver loss.
J.R. Smith came off the bench to score 26 points, including five 3-pointers.

Learnin' The Blues Lyrics - Katie Melua
Review The Song (1)
The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson
In learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light
One after the other
Won't help you forget him
When you are losing your lover
You're only burning a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learnin' the blues
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're crying
But you cannot forget him,
Soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor
And wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' the blues

At first glance, it was an open-and-shut case. In 1998, Mississippi farmer Homan McFarling bought soybean seeds with genetic traits owned by Monsanto, then as now the world's dominant provider of genetically modified seeds -- and also the biggest herbicide maker.
Like all farmers who buy GM seeds, McFarling signed a contract obliging
him not to hold back any of the resulting harvest as seed for the next
year's planting. But McFarling saved his seeds anyway -- and Monsanto
busted him. Hot to protect its multibillion-dollar investment in
genetic modification, Monsanto set loose a cadre of rent-a-cops into
the farm belt in the late 1990s, in search of farmers who dared defy
its patent claims.
According to a comprehensive 2005 study
[PDF] by the Center For Food Safety, "Monsanto has an annual budget of
$10 million and a staff of 75 devoted solely to investigating and
prosecuting farmers." By the time of the study, the company had
launched 90 lawsuits involving 147 farmers and 39 small businesses, CFS
McFarling was one of Monsanto's first targets. The giant corporation
sent the full weight of the law crashing down on the farmer's head,
suing him and winning a judgment of $780,000 (he had originally bought
$24,000 in seeds, according to a
New York Times account from 2003.
Preventing people from saving seeds and freely propagating crops has
been tried before. In medieval times, merchants in the Levant strove
mightily to corner the coffee market by refusing to export raw coffee
beans that might be replanted. Their effort eventually failed, and
coffee now flourishes in Latin America, South Asia, and southern Africa.
But Monsanto has patent law on its side. Monsanto has established for
itself the right to claim ownership of genetic material -- a
revolutionary step in the history of property rights.
And McFarling trespassed on those rights. He signed a contract and then
reneged on it. Case closed. Early this month, the Supreme Court upheld
Monsanto's claim against McFarling (through the appeals process, the
fine has been whittled to $350,000). The seed giant's case was so
strong that the court made its ruling without comment.
Yet the logic behind Monsanto's claim, so airtight on its own terms, has serious implications for broader society.
Seminal Logic
Desire to plant Roundup-Ready soybeans -- engineered so that the plants
can withstand infinite doses of Monsanto's flagship herbicide -- is
what plunged McFarling into his legal mess.
Herbicide-tolerant soy roared through the farm belt like a prairie fire
in the 1990s. Introduced in 1995, it accounted for nearly 50 percent of
all soy by 1998, the year that McFarling made the seed order he will
rue for the rest of his life. Today, more than 90 percent of soy
planted in the United States is herbicide-tolerant -- and the great
bulk of it contains Monsanto's Roundup-Ready trait. Globally, 91
percent of genetically modified soy contains [PDF] Monsanto traits; the company's market share in the United States is likely even higher.
To understand how this product conquered the farm belt so rapidly, you
have to understand how large-scale commodity farmers make decisions.
Your neighbor tries a new product, and suddenly boasts weed-free fields
and yields that trump yours.
He reveals that he bought newfangled, high-dollar seeds -- and more
than made his money back with the higher yield. So you do the same.
Trouble is, everyone else does, too -- and the higher yields nationwide
lead to lower prices for soy, erasing any advantage of the new seeds.
Indeed, USDA figures show that soybean production surged after the
introduction of herbicide-tolerant varieties in 1995 -- and prices
dropped. Soy prices didn't recover in any meaningful way until the
great biofuel boom that started in 2006. All things being equal,
technologies that increase yield end up lowering prices -- erasing any
net gain for farmers.
Thus in their rush to adapt new technologies, farmers aren't working in
their own interest, but rather in the interests of big corporate buyers
like Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill -- and, of course, in the
interests of the companies that sell the new technologies, like
And once new technologies gain traction, they can be nearly impossible
to resist. If soybean prices are dropping because all farmers are
adopting a new technology, then holding out can seem insane. Say you're
trying to make a living growing soybeans, and you'd prefer not to use
GM seeds. By holding out, you get low prices and subpar yields -- a
disastrous combination.
Devil's Bargain
Even when prices are high -- as they are now, because of the biofuel
boom -- there's economic pressure to submit to GM seeds. Farmers know
that good times don't last forever; you have to "make hay while the sun
shines." To wring every penny out of the soy rally, you have to
maximize yield. And that means planting Roundup Ready soy -- and
dousing it with Roundup, Monsanto's flagship herbicide.
Thus farmers hardly enter into Monsanto's "technology agreements" under
completely free-market conditions. Their choice is essentially to
submit to Monsanto's terms, or live with lower yields.
Remember, 90 percent of U.S. soy -- our second-biggest crop -- is
genetically modified to be herbicide-resistant; and more than 90
percent of that contains traits owned by Monsanto. For corn, our
biggest crop, 60 percent is GM -- and nearly all of it contains
Monsanto genes.
Since the U.S. food system relies so heavily on these two crops,
essentially our entire food supply is genetically modified, to the
benefit of one company. Since the U.S. doesn't require companies to
label GM ingredients, it's impossible to know how much of the U.S. diet
contains genes owned by Monsanto. In a much-cited study from 2000,
the Grocery Manufacturers of America estimated that 70 percent of food
in the U.S. contains genetically modified traits. The proliferation of
GM seeds has only grown since.
Somehow, a single corporation has managed to use patent law to gain de
facto control of the nation's two biggest crops -- and managed to annul
the age-old right of seed-saving over a broad swath of farm country.
Monsanto may have airtight logic on its side for patent law, but it has
clearly run afoul of a much less-enforced branch of legal code:
antitrust law.
The time has come to bust up this giant seed trust.

It was Giles, Giles, Giles on the night at the British Fashion Awards where both Lily Allen and Thandie Newton chose to wear stunning pieces from the designer. "Considering we [Lily Allen] and I arrived in the same car, it would have been a real faux pas [otherwise] wouldn't it?" Giles asked Vogue UK presenter, Louise Roe. Both ladies looked stunning in their dresses, and who wouldn't want to especially at a fashion awards do?
Keep reading for more pics from the red carpet...

The Nebraska Cattlemen want to return the slogan "The Beef State" to some state license plates.
The group says all state plates carried the slogan from 1956 to 1965.
The Nebraska Cattlemen's communications director, Ashley Nunnenkamp, says 2013 is the organization's 125th anniversary year. So, she says, officials thought "it was a great time to release specialty plates to promote our state and our industry."
State rules say at least 500 applications for "The Beef State" plates must be submitted to the Nebraska Motor Vehicles Department before the new plates will be produced. Organization officials say that number shouldn't be a problem, given the organization's membership of 3,000 and the slogan's history.

Survivor Stories
Survivor Stories
My name is Michael J. Carlson, and I am a 49 year male bisexual currently incarcerated in Texas. My story is yet another Texas prison horror story of a rape that should never have happened, and the prevailing threat still in existence.
I was first brought back to Texas on February 19, 2005 for a parole revocation hearing, from Arizona, where I had been living on parole. That revocation hearing was held on March 7, 2005 at the Byrd Unit in Huntsville, Texas. After receiving all of the so-called "evidence", the hearing officer, Diane Corona, found I did not violate any condition of my parole, that I was to be reinstated and placed in a halfway house.
However, rather than sending me to a Pre-Release Prison, I was instead sent to the Bill Clements Unit, a maximum security prison in Amarillo, by TDCJ and Parole Division officials. I should never have been placed on that unit or even reincarcerated, because my parole was not revoked, nor had I been convicted of any new felony offense, which, once I had been previously granted parole and released from prison, I could only be reincarcerated for.
On March 23, 2005 the Parole Board officially reinstated my parole, but kept me at the Bill Clements Unit.
I had repeatedly warned Warden [name omitted] that my physical safety was in grave danger in the unit, that because I was on parole, I was extremely vulnerable and at risk of being raped. Warden [name omitted] admitted that I wasn't supposed to be on his unit, and kept contacting parole officials to find out what they were going to do. But took no steps to protect me.
I had attempted to file grievances over my being assigned to the Bill Clements Unit when my parole had not been revoked and I had not been convicted of a new felony offense, and stated in each grievance that by assigning me to the Bill Clements Unit, prison and parole officials were clearly placing my safety in jeopardy, and again emphasized I was at risk of being raped. However, each time my grievances were returned to me, saying my complaints weren't "grievable issues".
On or about April 10th (or 11th), 2005, I was raped at knifepoint by my cellmate, [name omitted]. Although I reported the rape and asked for protection, nothing was done, and I was kept in that cell. I tried to get medical attention, but the nurse on duty refused to see me. Over the next 2 days I was raped repeatedly by White. On April 21st, 2005 I was finally released and sent to the CSC Halfway House in Fort Worth.
When I arrived there on April 21st, 2005 I was extremely depressed and despondent, on the verge of community suicide. Not only was I struggling in trying to deal with the horror of having been raped at a maximum security prison I should never have been on, but I was also still having a difficult time in dealing with the murder of my beloved sister, who was murdered in Arizona on October 1, 2003. Her murder devastated me.
I was crying out for help, but no one, not even my parole officer, [name omitted], would help me. To make matters worse, friends of the inmate who raped me were also at the CSC Halfway House and had been threatening me. I was sinking deeper into my depression, and kept begging for help! But no one would listen. Finally, out of fear and desperation I walked away from that halfway house and hitchhiked back home to Tuscon, Arizona on May 12, 2005.
On July 14, 2005 I was subsequently arrested in Tuscon on the parole violation warrant, and returned to Huntsville, Texas on August 18, 2005. ... On September 6, 2005, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles revoked my parole, not even considering the living hell I was (and still am) going through when I left, and how all of my cries for help were ignored.
I have suffered the horror of being raped, a rape that should never have happened because I should never have been assigned to the Bill Clements Unit after having been found not guilty of any violation of my parole and being reinstated. TDCJ officials, Parole Division officials, and Warden [name omitted] are just as responsible for my being raped as [name omitted] is.
As for my parole revocation now, yes, it was "wrong" for me to leave the CSC Halfway House and return to Arizona; I should have gone ahead and committed suicide instead, as I had first intended on doing. But it was also wrong for TDCJ and Parole officials to expose me to the repeated rape I suffered at a maximum security prison which they sent me to and kept me at even though they well knew I wasn't supposed to be on it. And it was just as wrong for my parole officer to refuse to help me; had she given that help I was begging for, I would never have left.
Rape is an inhumane crime against humanity, a horror no one should ever suffer through! It leaves psychological scars beyond repair, and now the Parole Board revokes my parole?!!
And now that the Parole Board has in fact unjustly revoked my parole, disregarding the hell and torment I've been through, I'm again at risk of being raped again!
What in fact has happened to me, and continues to happen, is a crime against humanity. It is cruel and inhumane treatement and punishment beyond description! These crimes against humanity must be stopped, and the conditions in Texas' prisons that breed them! Their lax attitude about them, and the predatory prisoners don't fear being "punished" by prison officials.
I don't want to see another prisoner suffer the horrors I've been through. Rapes such as mine occur all too frequently in Texas' prisons, with officials doing nothing to curtail them or prevent them. (How many inmates have they prosecuted for rape in prison?)
Because of this and my desire that no other Texas prisoner should suffer as I have, I have written this for everyone to read. I don't have anybody, no family, nothing, in the free world, or anybody to help me, and of course no attorney will help me pro bono. So I'm all alone.
The sad truth about all of this is that no one cares about it, wants to hear about it, or about the living hell and torment I've been through! Thank you.

Network Rail - Track & Train Graduate Placement Scheme
The rail industry is seeking 50 more graduates to join its unique 18-month paid work placement scheme, Track & Train. Graduates are employed for three, six-month placements: one at Network Rail and two at either a passenger or freight operator or another company within the rail sector to gain a broad range of experience.
The scheme, funded by Network Rail and launched in January 2012, involves companies based across Britain providing local employment opportunities - i.e. those living in Glasgow, York or Manchester, for example, will be placed at companies in those areas. It has targeted young people who have graduated in the last two years but owing to the tough economic times have found themselves either unemployed or more likely under-employed in a non-graduate level role.

Obama Effect Highlights Racism in Cuba
New America Media, News Analysis, Louis E.V. Nevaer Posted: Dec 15, 2008
Editor's Note: Barack Obama's victory has made Cubans more willing to speak out against the institutional racism that exists half a century after Fidel Castro established a "color blind" egalitarian society.
MERIDA, Mexico As Cuba prepares to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power, U.S. Presidentelect Barack Obamas victory is raising disturbing questions about the institutional racism in the so-called egalitarian society, where racism is said to have disappeared along with capitalism.
Cuba, I am inclined to believe, is nervous about the impact that a black president in the White House could have upon its own black population, writes Carlos Moore, a black Cuban of Jamaican ancestry and author of Pichón: Race and Revolution in Castro's Cuba, in the Miami Herald.
Since the first days of the revolution, Fidel has been aware of the racism that permeated Cuban society. In the daily life of defense, loyalty, brotherhood, and shrewdness, Fidel wrote in January 1959, there has always been a Negro standing beside every white man.
Castro envisioned a color-blind society, an aspiration that dated back to the 19th century liberator Jose Martí who fought to end the vestiges of slavery as part of severing ties with Spain. But there was paradox in Castros declarations: Castro, the son of European immigrants from Galicia, Spain, was a white man who had overthrown the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, a light-skinned mulatto born to parents who were both of mixed race.
In the decades that followed, Castros vision of giving Cuban blacks equal opportunities was thwarted by the realities of race outside the island nation: Soviet and East European allies preferred white Cubans, and these were granted scholarships to study for advanced degrees throughout behind the Iron Curtain. The growing disparities between white Cubans and black Cubans remained a lingering problem throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
It was the official policy of the government to deny the existence of racism, arguing that Communist egalitarianism made discrimination based on race an impossibility, simply because it was incompatible with a socialist state. This was a polite fiction. As Alejandro De La Fuente wrote in his authoritative book, A Nation for All: Race, Inequality, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Cuba, (The University of North Carolina Press, 2000) the color of ones skin determines the life one leads in Communist Cuba.
(A) strong correlation between race, the regional distribution of the population, and the quality of the housing stock persisted through the 1980s, De La Fuente wrote. A traditional geography of race and poverty had not been dismantled, largely because of the governments failure to provide adequate housing to the entire population. No neighborhood was racially exclusivethis was true, for the most part, in pre-Revolutionary Cuba alsobut in the most dilapidated areas of the big cities, the proportion of blacks and mulattos was greater than that of whites.
This was considered slander against socialism. Castro shot back, and Cuban authorities offered statistical analysis to bolster their view, which revealed the lengths to which Havana was prepared to deceive others even as it deceived itself. Of Cubas population of 11.2 million people in 2002, officials declared, 65 percent were white, 10 percent were black, and 25 percent were mulatto. This racial breakdown matched exactly the breakdown of members of Cubas parliament: 65 percent white and 35 percent people of color.
The implication was as obvious as it was ridiculous: Cuba had achieved perfect racial representation between the people and their representatives. Europeans scoffed at such claims. In fact, most independent census reports of the Cuban nation puts the number of whites at anywhere from 20 to 35 percent; everyone else is black or mulatto.
The European Union recently dispatched anthropologists to study racism in Cuba. Their findings were shocking: Not only was racism alive and well in the workers paradise, but it was systemic and institutional. Blacks were systematically excluded from positions that involved coming in contact with foreign tourists (where they could earn tips in hard currencies), they were relegated to poor housing, complained of the longest waits for healthcare, were excluded from managerial positions, received the lowest remittances from relatives abroad, and were five times more likely to be imprisoned.
The report, Race and Inequality in Cuba Today, by Rodrigo Espina and Pablo Rodriguez Ruiz, published in the anthropological journal TEMAS in 2006, infuriated Cuban officials.
But the findings were irrefutable, and they reflected an acceleration of racism in the 1990s. The collapse of the Soviet Union only exacerbated the problem, particularly as Cuba now competed with Cancun and San Juan for European vacationers. As Democracy Now! reported in 2000, Cuban officials continued to exclude blacks from tourist-related industries.
When Maria Carrion of Democracy Now! interviewed a black Cuban identified only as Victor, he told her that the only jobs black Cubans have access to are in construction and cleaning. Blacks are randomly stopped on the street by police, he said, and are unable to denounce racism in Cuba for fear of going to prison for being anti-Communist.
This is why Cubans are dizzy with excitement at Obamas victory. I still feel my heart skip a beat, Victor Fowler, a black Cuban, told Spains El Pais newspaper last month. I listen to Barack Obama I look at my skin, I look at my childrens skin, I cry and I smile.
Obamas ascendancy has emboldened Cuban blacks in their criticism of the racism in Cuba. The bottom line is that racism is Cuba's most intractable problem, Carlos Moore wrote in the Miami Herald. Only an arrangement implying effective power sharing between the island's two dominant groups can prepare the ground for a reversal of Cuba's socio-racial conundrum. This would call for an entirely new institutional framework that includes the reinvigoration of civil society, the implementation of robust racial affirmative action policies in all spheres, the revival of independent cultural and social institutions, an independent media and free press and the existence of autonomous political movements, associations and parties.
In other words, when it comes to racial progress, blacks in Cuba complain that their nation resembles the United States circa 1963, the year before the Civil Rights Act was passed.
This was precisely the point that Esteban Morales Dominguez, an economist, political scientist and essayist made last year in his book, The Challenges of the Racial Problem in Cuba (Fundación Fernando Ortiz, 2007), which was promptly banned by authorities.
Yet there is rising anger among Cuban blacks who view Obamas victory as a sharp reminder of the racism that still exists in Cuba. In a country where few dare to post messages in public view that are not in support of the government, signs in windows have begun to appear that are startling: Si se puede, coño or Yes we can, with a Cuban twist Damn it.

Aubrey LaBrie, who writes of her own experience as an African-American tourist in Cuba, should find validation in knowing that American blacks who visit Cuba are shocked to see how differently they are treated from White American tourists. African-American anthropologist, L. Kaifa Roland, wrote about it in the peer-reviewed journal, TRANSFORMING ANTHROPOLOGY. In it, she writes: Walking into a hotel nightclub, the security guards would let the others pass without incident but step directly in my path, asking me where I was going. I quickly learned to look confused and to respond in my best American-accented English that I did not understand because I did not speak Spanish. The name of the article is "Tourism and the Negrificación of Cuban Identity" and it was published in TRANSFORMING ANTHROPOLOGY, October 2006, Vol. 14, No. 2, pp. 151-162. Racism in Cuba is finally being spoken about, and there is great anger: Half a century after the revolution, there is more division by race than before Castro.
Aubrey LaBrie on Dec 17, 2008 at 00:22:46 said:
I have admired the Cuban Revolution from afar since its inception. Accordingly I was excited at the prospect of visiting Cuba which I have done on two occasions during the past five years. I was impressed with what appeared to be governmental attempts to balance the equities among its population isofar as providing housing, education, medical treatment and other necessities as well as certain social amenities.
My big disappointment was a perception of lingering racial inequities. Admittedly my perception is sharpened by the fact that I am African American. The talk about mulatto and multi-racial is a smoke screen. Even Stevie Wonder could see that the majority of frontline jobs, e.g., airport employees, hotel clerks, etc. were held by Euro Cubans or those who approximate the features/ complection of Europeans (One light skinned Cuban told me about a straight hair test).
The owners of Casa Particularies which I exclusively patronized during one of my visits were in this class. I was rudely turned away from one such casa that had been recommended by a White American friend. Twice in the company of literally black African Cuban males, we were stopped by police and my male friends were asked for id's and interrogated.
Some of you may recall that the government recently relaxed restrictions on Cubans entering the big hotels; my experience was that the restrictions were imposed primarily against black Cubans who were virtually always checked at the entryway even if they were with us black tourists.
Likewise, a big disappointment was seeing the Martin Luther King Center in Havana staffed predominately by the aforementioned class of more Euro looking Cubans.
I have nothing against this group; it's just that the disparity is so glaring, particularly if you are from the Bay Area or make frequent visits to U.S. urban centers such as Atlanta where you are accustomed to seeing at least the frontline clerical/retail and lower management positions held largely by black persons.
I love the socialist agenda of the Cuban government and must give it props for good intentions but unfortunately am not able to join in with the apologists who seem to be blinded to or oblivious of the conspicious racial disparites which place the substantial population of black Cubans at the lower end of the social strata.

VERY VERY few have full access to education, health care,and/or food on the Island of Cuba. Notice how few have the good high ranking government jobs. Cuba is in shambles and falling apart, time for change.
Jose Villa on Dec 16, 2008 at 14:17:48 said:
The fact is that Cuba is composed of about 70% blacks or mulattos.However,of the Approx. 2,000,000 that have left the island,maybe five percent are black.Also,when you examine the Cuban hierarchy i.e. Raul,Fidel,Valdes,Ventura,etc.there is only one black,Almierda.Very few blacks have high political positions.Thats because the Castro brothers would have it no other way.

I have traveled to Cuba many times during the last eight years, and as a multi-racial native black american I am very sensitive of obvious racial disparities based on skin color. I have been all over Habana, Santiago de Cuba, and the surrounding villages, and it is clear to me that the color of one's skin seems to determine what jobs or profession that people are involved in, and the "light" and white looking Cubans seem to be favored. In addition I have been told by my "black" Cuban friends that racism does exist, but not has rampant as in the past. It also appears that the government is aware of this and is trying to change this left over vestige of Cuban society. In addition, I find it interesting that many Cubans and white europeon are of the opinion that if a person is of light skin, that person is a mulato, and this is not true because a true mulato is the offspring of a so-called pure black person and a so-called white person. All others light and dark skin are multi-racial or mixed people who can be considered black or white, depending on the lightness of their skin.
Dan Martinez on Dec 15, 2008 at 19:32:36 said:
Sounds like those posting here want to proclaim that the studies, published in peer reviewed journals, have no merit and are dismissive attempts to discredit Cuban progress. The truth is that there is significant institutional racism in Cuba today, being married to an Afro Cuban or anyone else's anecdotal evidence cannot erase professional studies by actual Cubans or the frustrations of those who live it. It's easy to live elsewhere bearing the fruits of capitalism and yet defend the Cuban model from a distance.
Carol R. Campbell on Dec 15, 2008 at 15:07:53 said:
I visited Cuba this spring, as an 'independent' traveler. I took close to 1000 photos, in both Havana and Cienfuego. I traveled by bus between cities, and spent a lot of time walking with my camera in both places. I stayed with local families [six different ones] in their houses and apartments, and shopped at the local stores and restaurants, using both the Cuban Peso, and the official tourist dollar.
The society I visited was a multi-ethnic mix, similar to Hawaii. Most people were a blend of the various races and cultures that make up the society as a whole. Looking at some of my photos, the only people I can easily identify as 'white' are the Europeans and Canadians.
I visited the Hotel Seville often, for breakfast and to use the internet. Most of the employees were the same blend as the people strolling on the Prado. I'd guess they were hired for their language skills rather then the color of their skin.
The easiest way to recognize a tourist was that they were white. I never mistook a local for one of the tourists, and I was seldom wrong. I was surprised that the one obvious black tourist I met was from New York City, and I visited with one girl from Japan.
When you live in a truly cosmopolitan city, you don't go around dissing the locals to the people who look like 100% Caucasians. You'll find yourself backpedaling when you discover that the fair-skinned blond woman has a Puerto Rican, Hawaiian, father and a family with more races and ethnic groups than most UN Committees.
FYI, If I saw the sign "Si Se Puede, Cono" I would assume they were referring to recovering from the 4 hurricanes, or perhaps, outlasting the US Embargo and freeing the Cuban Five...

Being married to an Afro-Cuban, and being an anthropologist who has visited Cuba many times, most recently to work with a Cuban Crew in rebuilding a school destroyed by the recent hurricanes, I do not come to the same conclusions as those anthropologist, Rodrigo Espina and Pablo Rodriguez Ruiz.
I am not saying that a correlation between skin color and political status as well as financial income does not exist, but that this is not a function of wide-spread racial discrimination within the government nor in the society in general. Personal motivation to contibute to the revolution as well as to one's own personal development seems to be more important as a factor here.
Most people who appear "white" are, in fact mulato; and many dark mulatos are more European in genetic background than they are African.
Many of the people working in the tourism industy and travelling to European countries to organize tours or in Cuba to guide tourists are in fact quite dark.
The attempt to discredit Cuba's progress in changing the status of former slaves and later plantation workers into full citizens with full access to education, health care and participation in the nation's political process is neglected in this one-sided article.

The Texas Nuns are Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration who left Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Hanceville, Alabama in the summer of 2008. Filled to capacity, and with a waiting list for women to enter, in 2007 it became very evident that God was calling us to found a new monastery in Texas. With the invitation of Archbishop Jose Gomez, the permission of Bishop Robert Baker, and the blessing and prayers of Mother Mary Angelica, we set off for our new home in San Antonio.
Following in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi and our own Mother Angelica, we seek to fulfill the prayer of the Church offered at every Benediction service: May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection at every moment in all the tabernacles of the world, now and until the end of time.

The trees wave gracefully
like angels in the wind.
Wisdom protruding from
every branch with a blossom
of good things to come.
Silent and strong they stand
ever ready to listen to
the lost soul whose storm
comes without mercy.
Like the bird it nestles up
high and safe, so it will
nestle you against its
warm embrace. Unbroken, unbeaten
Pride is the only thing
That keeps it going at times
Great losses have I endured

When you're a mom, you are busy. What did you do before you had kids anyway? We vaguely remember bubble baths, books, movies, and hanging out with friends.
Now that you are the leader of your personal 3-ring circus, taking care of yourself can get lost in the shuffle. But your kids need you to be at your best, and the only way you can do that IS to take care of yourself too. That includes getting your exercise in.
Although chasing after a toddler may seem like exercise, you still need some focused time working on yourself. But how do you fit exercise in?
