No One At The Helm
The fog descends quickly on the Cal-Sag, and the barges loom as ghosts.
It's not supposed to happen this way. The sixteen-mile Calumet-Saganashkee Channel, an industrial canal providing one of several links between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River system, is a narrow thread of murky water snaking through Chicago's Southside, and when dusk falls and the fog comes creeping, might as well be a smoke-filled gun barrel.
The tugboats are supposed to pull their monstrous loads to the side, lash up, and wait the conditions out. For the Cal-Sag is also a public waterway, and in the summertime, a popular lane for pleasure craft.
The barges are not lit. They move with utter stealth, as brooding, pacing, unstoppable giants. When fully loaded, they sit low enough in the water to reveal the running lights of the erstwhile tug at the rear of the convoy. When empty, the whole outfit is virtually invisible.
An advancing black wall, blended into the night.
Just before 11:00 PM on Friday, June 20, 2014, witnesses near the Worth boat launch heard screams piercing the thick soupy blanket of mist, followed by an awful crunch. Then silence.
The Coast Guard watch in Milwaukee soon received a call from a tug, UTV BILL ARNOLD, reporting a collision. Search and rescue crews were dispatched via boat and helicopter. The chopper proved effectively useless against the lingering fog.
An overturned and horribly mangled 19-foot inboard was eventually discovered. It had been nearing the launch when it collided with one of the BILL ARNOLD's six empty barges.
Dive teams from the nearby Palos Hills and Lockport Fire Departments, using side-scan sonar, began searching for its missing occupants. The Palos Hills and Worth Police Departments assisted from shore. The two departments quickly linked the wrecked vessel's identification to that of an unclaimed vehicle in the launch lot. Two other vehicles remained nearby.
Chicago resident and heavy metal musician Rob Rizza approached the launch with trepidation.
He'd been at a nearby bar, having passed on the opportunity to join a close friend for an evening on the water. Now, facing a solemn garrison of police barriers and flashing lights, cordoning off a mission fast shifting from rescue to grim recovery, he knew.
Because of the fog.
Two bodies were recovered from the Cal-Sag the next afternoon. A woman in her late thirties and a man in his early thirties. No life jackets. Drowned, with multiple blunt-force traumatic injuries. Likely they had been passengers.
The boat's owner, whose vehicle still waited in the launch lot, remained unaccounted for.
The Banner Streaming Full New Album
With The Banner's third full-length, "Greying," out today on Good Fight Music, all of the tracks are now available for streaming online. Give the album a listen below.
"Greying," The Banner's first new full-length in six years, sees the New Jersey band perfect its sound: churning, machine-like hardcore, soaked in darkness, at times veering fully into the goth/industrial realm. The track listing is as follows:
1. The Dying Of The Light 06:00
2. Circle Of Salt 02:23
3. Crippling Despair 02:31
4. Sunlight 05:23
5. Unbaptized 02:06
6. A Quiet Corner 02:28
7. Send Me Down 04:29
9. She Upon The Black Wolf 02:51
10. Bones To Dust 04:48
11. Sunset 04:57 More...
Crown The Empire Posts New Video

Crown The Empire - which includes vocalists Andy Leo and David Escamilla, guitarists Brandon Hoover and Bennett Vogelman, drummer Brent Taddie and bassist Hayden Tree - formed in Dallas, Texas in 2011, with early efforts leading to the November 2011 EP "Limitless." Then in March 2012 second vocalist Escamilla was added to the fold, solidifying the lineup as it currently exists, giving birth to the band's full-length debut, "The Fallout," released November 2012.
Over the past two years the band has toured both nationally and abroad and was also recently featured on the cover of Alternative Press' annual "Bands You Need To Know" issue. More...
Ion Dissonance Streaming New Track
Ion Dissonance has a new track online for streaming titled "Ill Will," which can be heard in the player below. The group also had this to say:
"The wait is finally over… We would like to thank you all for your patience and support. Nevertheless, here is Ion Dissonance's way of saying thank you.
"We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Dominic Grimard from 'The Last Felony' into the Ion Dissonance family. For those who know us well, you know that we have a nasty habit of recycling up guitarists to play bass for us. Dominic is no exception to this rule. The guy shreds, and we are happy to have him helping us out with bass duties. For those of you wondering, Yanic is still involved with the band and helping with the recording process. Unfortunate health issues have forced him to step aside for now. We wish him all the best and a prompt recovery.
"So without further delay, here is the first installment of our upcoming release. If you want to purchase the song, we have included the bandcamp link within the Youtube video. The Montreal and Toronto shows are on for this upcoming weekend. See you all there."
Progstone Posts New Video
Following the release of debut full-length album "Out From There" through Chamosound Records (Worry Blast), Swiss stoner/grunge/progressive conspiracy Progstone has unveiled a music video for the title track. Check it out below, courtesy of PureGrainAudio.com.
Call Of The Void Streaming "Cold Hands"
Call Of The Void has a new track online for streaming, available below, and the band comments on the song:
"Alright the time is here. Stream our new song 'Cold Hands' off our upcoming album 'Ageless' over Noisey. It means so much to us to know that you will hopefully dig these upcoming songs as much as we do. We finished 'Ageless' back in April and we have been waiting 8 months to get it out to the world. If you can do us a favor and stream the new song and share it with your friends that would be amazing."
The new album "Ageless" is also available for pre-order at this location. More...
Dwell To Release "Vermin And Ashes"
Hells Headbangers is proud to present the debut of a doom-death juggernaut whose name will surely be on everyone's tongues soon enough: Dwell's "Vermin and Ashes," set for international release on February 10th, 2015.
Set to be released on both CD and vinyl LP formats, Dwell's" Vermin and Ashes" compiles the band's demo debut as well as three new songs, making for a full-length release. Hells Headbangers also comments:
"Hailing from Denmark and boasting a membership with deep veteran status - including current members of Hells Headbangers death-commandosCerekloth - the five-piece Dwell create a tar-thick, ominously bubbling brew on Vermin and Ashes. Their sound is undoubtedly rooted firmly in classic death metal, but their heaving, lumbering thrust is equally grounded in ancient doom metal.
"Along with half-sorrowful/half-haunting lead lines, well-timed bouts of blasting speed, and the occasional dusting of mystical synth, Dwell'sVermin and Ashes encompasses all that its song titles suggest: among them, 'Vermin In My Arteries,' 'A Collapse Sublime,' 'Plunging Into Ash Tombs,' and the telltale 'Become the Void.'
"Moody yet never totally defeatist, it's a sound that's at once lost to the mists of time yet also surprisingly fresh, for Dwell have few compatriots mining this barren wasteland of doomed-decibel wreckage. Hear the beginning of greatness with Vermin and Ashes, and jump on the Dwell bandwagon before it's too late." More...
Mourning Mist Announces Album Release
Today, Forever Plagued Records announces February 9th, 2015 as the international release date for Mourning Mist's self-titled debut album.
Stepping a bit outside the boundaries of black metal, Forever Plagued has opened up a bit and was compelled by the dark nature of this otherwise-unknown band from Italy.
Fronted by a violin player named Ecnerual, Mourning Mist has a very avant-garde nature about it while still being nicely arranged with darker atmospheres. Lyrically dripping with misanthropic topics on mankind and its existence, those of us who enjoy black metal but are also into the darker side of music in general will find Mourning Mist to their liking. The new album's track listing is as follows:
1. The Flowing
2. Freefall
3. Rage
4. Torment
5. Rise and Decay
6. Lament More...

"It's an honor to have Bill Manspeaker on our new record, because Green Jellÿ paved the way for what Psychostick does. We met Bill several years back when we toured with Green Jellÿ and Nashville Pussy, and we became friends. He is a super fun and downright fascinating guy, and a little known fun fact: HE is the one that actually designed and created our bassist Moose's first set of stage antlers- he gave them to him as a gift on that tour!"
In additional news, Psychostick recently wrapped up tour dates with Downtown Brown, Fungonewrong, and Hed PE and will be announcing 2015 dates in the new year. More...

Ethereal Announces New Album
After signing to Candlelight Records this Summer, Ethereal is set to release "Opus Aethereum" in January. The label comments:
"For the past decade, the 'Beasts of UK Darkness' Ethereal have bombarded audiences with their own unique brand of symphonic black metal. With roots dating back to the early 2000's, Ethereal have established them as one of the most exciting acts in British black metal.
"Throughout their history Ethereal have undergone a steady process of evolution and refinement, returning to the stage in 2013 with their most accomplished line-up to date. This new incarnation of Ethereal has stormed stages across the UK, performing alongside legendary bands such as Gorgoroth and 1349, winning over fans both old and new with their energetic performances and gargantuan black metal sound."
Debut album "Opus Aethereum" is due out on January 26th, 2015 via Candlelight and was mixed by the Wieslawscy brothers at Hertz Studios, Poland.
Byzantine Announces New Album
If the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed... try, try again" was ever in doubt, it has never been proven more true than with West Virginia's heavy metal act Byzantine. In 2007, the band fulfilled a 3-album deal with Prosthetic Records, disbanding the day after "Oblivion Beckons" was released.
This career move stopped any momentum dead in its tracks. 5 years later, Byzantine reformed to release a self-titled 4th album on the band's own indie label (WV Snakepit).
Now, 14 years after its inception, Byzantine looks to push its underground cult status even further. 5th album, "To Release is To Resolve," is set for a March 3rd release. More...

Will The Faceless Be Rejoined By Former Vocalist?
The end of 2014 has proved extremely rough for The Faceless. First the group lost drummer Alex Rüdinger and bassist Evan Brewer. Shortly thereafter, vocalist Geoff Ficco quit as well, leaving founding member, guitarist and vocalist Michael Keene all by himself.
As the speculation begins on who's going to be performing with Keene on the two already booked shows this January in Dallas and Tampa, the band's label Sumerian Records seems to be teasing the return of former vocalist Derek "Demon Carcass" Rydquist.
While there is no evidence outside the tweet to suggest Rydquist will be welcomed back into the fold, it is at least worth noting he did rejoin the band onstage earlier in the year at the Austin, TX set during this year's edition of the "Summer Slaughter Tour". More...
Arch Enemy Posts Drum-Cam Video
Arch Enemy is streaming a new drum-cam live video with Daniel Erlandsson shredding through the song "As The Pages Burn".

States the band with a wink: "We did a rehearsal on the song Holy Roller, and someone filmed it. We did all we could to keep this off the internet, but apparently someone leaked it. We in Audrey Horne have no recollection of this incident, and therefore deny all actions in this film - but we also want to assure, that nobody were injured during this rehearsal - exept Ice Dale".
Check out the new clip below.
Gurt Re-Releases "Redwin" EP On Vinyl

Hollow Bones Premieres New Music Video
Previously known as Edenborn, New York outfit Hollow Bones is officially relaunching today with the release of a new music video for the "Drytooth" single, and Metalunderground.com is proud to be exclusively premiering the clip online.
"Drytooth" - a track about overcoming great loss - is taken off the upcoming "Lionheart" album, which is now written and will soon be recorded. The video can be seen below, and vocalist Patrick Anthony comments:
"The shooting of Drytooth was a great experience, albeit very tiring. We probably put on a full performance of the song about 40 times over the course of the day to ensure that we got all the footage we could need. Of course it was fun, and there was joking around, but it was also a lot of work.
"There were some very specific shots that we wanted to have in the video that incorporated design elements from cinematography, so there was a lot of discussion on how to get those shots. The guy who did the filming, Michael DeFilio, was great. He is based out of CT, which is where we shot the video, in an old abandoned Hummer dealership. I don't know how he went about getting permission for us to shoot there, but he did, haha. He REALLY worked his butt off for us, and I think it really comes through in the video.
"Thematically the song is very dark. I lost my brother in 2007, and the song is really about not being able to move past it. Carrying around the weight of not knowing whether it was an intentional death or not. It is about the hole in your life that someone can leave, regardless of how or why you have lost them. It is about watching someone you love suffer through tremendous depression, and being powerless to do anything.
"The song ends with my admission that I would have preferred to have taken his place. The song is about hopelessness, anger, frustration, guilt, and longing, and we hope that we have clearly conveyed those feelings, because I think everyone has, or will, lose someone dear to them. I think it is a very relatable subject." More...

Group living in now-closed motel given an extension
Mon, 01 Jul 2013 23:28:39 GMT —
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) - A group of people living at a Myrtle Beach motel who were supposed to be out Monday, now have more time to find a new place to live.
Monday afternoon, people staying at the Golden Sands Inn were still in their rooms despite being told on Friday they had less than three days to leave. For some their situation is dire because they said they've been paying rent to Mohamed Abdou, the man running the motel.
"I have no food right now, because I've been paying all my rent. I got three babies, nowhere to go, no money," explained Justin Ulven. "It's ridiculous. People should not have to deal with this."
"He took $280 from me last Friday morning before me and my girl, my fiance, goes out of town to work for the weekend," added Charles Rumsey.
Friday, the Horry County Sheriff's Office served Abdou a writ of ejection, also known as an eviction notice. The eviction comes from the property owner, and it essentially puts the group staying at the motel out as well.
Because foreign students and families were staying at the Golden Sands Inn long term, Sgt. Jeff Benton says they now have until July 12 at 9 a.m. to leave.
Another issue with the building is it's not up to code.
According to the Myrtle Beach Fire Marshal Bruce Arnel, a recent inspection showed several electrical, storage and structural issues. Those staying at the motel, say that's not all. "I've been living in cockroaches, like my building is infested with cockroaches. He does nothing to fix it. I had to wait a week to get a stove," said Ulven. "This place needs to be condemned."
According to Horry County records, the property taxes for that property were not paid last year.

|There is an anchor just to the left of the traverse, for those of you who are leading this beauty. You may mantel just left of the final piton if you wish, just step left after the mantel and the anchor is right below you.
By Ryan Curry
Oct 18, 2008
A cruddy anchor detracts from what is otherwise a beautiful route. As of 10/08 the anchor consisted of 3 or 4 pitons of questionable integrity equalized with an aging piece of webbing. I ended up climbing up Green Corner to the top and building a natural anchor.
I found other anchors in the area equally dubious (the Intertwine anchor, for example). Cro- Mag is a magnificent piece of climbing, though. A wee bit bold to the first bolt, then enjoyably pumpy climbing to a pin protected leftwards traverse that gets the heart rate up. Simply put: awesome.

Today this route taught me that I have NO idea how to climb anything bigger than a fingercrack, and yet the sport climber in me had no trouble with the start....
Would get 5.11-awesome at most other areas. Beware!
By S. Neoh

I fully agree!
I somehow got through the start 1st try only to be thoroughly spanked by the wide stuff higher up. PUMPY.

|I would strongly recommend building a natural anchor in the corner, about 10-15 feet above the large ledge. I have done this hundreds of times over the years, as you can put many bomber nuts, in the crack. The rope will hang better, over the hard start, as well.

|Climbed this today. Great route! The webbing on the 3 pin anchor has been cut/worn though (quicklink is still there). If you're going to be climbing this soon, I'd recommend bringing some extra webbing with you. I didn't have any and downclimbed to the left.

|Anchored in the right-facing corner, the start to Green Corner, which took #0.5-0.75, #2-4, #13 BD nut, and probably some smaller gear I didn't have. Allowed you to stand on the good ledge at the top of the traverse to belay. Then walked over and rappelled from a sling anchor I left at the top of Diagonal on the tree. Great fist jamming, amazing New England crack climb!

As economy dips, sports businesses sweat
Wake up and good morning. Nine days into the new year and concerns are on the rise about how the sports business -- from baseball to golf -- will be hit by a very rough economy. First up: Major League Baseball because spring training is just weeks away and the regular season begins in April.
Some interesting remarks came out of Alabama this week in a Montgomery Advertiser story in which Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane warned that, given the current national economic climate, baseball faces an uncertain financial year. He spoke in a town called Prattville and cited the local baseball team -- the Montgomery Biscuits, which is a minor league affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays -- as one of many with a "challenge" ahead this season. Said McLane:
"Baseball is going to be the first professional sport that is really going to see what impact the recession has because we don't start until April. When the NFL season started, that was before the recession really got going and they were selling their sponsorships and season tickets before there were problems."
In addition to sustaining season ticket sales, the effects of the economy can be seen in free-agent signings, McLane told his audience. While the New York Yankees have committed more than $420-million to three free agents this offseason, there are more than 120 free agents who haven't signed.
McLane also cited the Tampa Bay Rays, which had a great year from a team composed largely of home-grown (and cheap) talent. But eventually, these young stars will hit arbitration. "When you develop good players and they become arbitration-eligible, you either sign them to big salaries (or lose them)," McLane said. "That's what we've struggled with over the years with Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio, Lance Berkman as he came along, or Roy Oswalt."
Not that baseball is alone feeling the economic heat. The pro golf circuit also feels a squeeze. A Rex Hoggard story at golfchannel.com raises questions about sponsorship support from two historically key golf backers -- finance and autos, industries especially hurt by the recession. Of the Tour's 41 FedEx Cup events in 2008, 15 were either sponsored or presented by financial institutions. Five tournaments in 2008 were sponsored by auto manufacturers. Quoted in the story is Gerald Goodman, the tournament director of the Transitions Championship near Tampa:
"Any financial firm is backing off on any type of hospitality. They are examining every dime they are spending now and every tournament will feel that."
Goodman says sales of corporate tents at the Transitions are off between 20 percent and 50 percent. And The Sports Business Journal recently reported that spending on hospitality is off at 10 of the 14 first-quarter events this year.

First off, I have to admit that I originally listened to this song solely because of the science-based track name and my own nerdiness..but either way it's a great pop song from the Canadian group, Stars. The background vocals, multilayered synths, and catchy chorus make this a hit for me. It really reminds me of the 90's music I wasn't alive to hear. Stars' new album, The North, drops September 4.

"Fast Five" has left the competition in the dust with an $83.6 million debut to grab the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office.
Studio estimates released Sunday show Universal Pictures' fifth movie in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise was by far this year's biggest opening. Its debut was more than double the previous best of $39.2 million for "Rio."
"Fast Five" also set a record for best April debut ever, speeding past the $71 million haul of its predecessor, "Fast&Furious," two years ago.
The movie gave Hollywood a huge head-start on the summer season, which begins with next weekend's debut of the Paramount Pictures superhero saga "Thor."
"Fast Five" has added $81.4 million overseas to bring its worldwide total to $165 million.

Dawn Martirez was a beloved and dedicated pediatric cancer nurse who cared for terminally ill children all her life. Little did she know that her medical experience would prepare her for the care of her own children. After she and her husband, Emmanuel, had their daughter, Elle, she became pregnant again with twins Evan and Alec. Evan has an extremely rare genetic condition called 9P minus, and Alec has another uncommon genetic disorder known as Crouzon Syndrome. Even though the doctors warned of severe complications, Dawn refused to terminate the pregnancy. Both twins suffer from skeletal abnormalities that require extensive corrective facial and cranial surgeries, with Evan having physical handicaps and mental retardation, and Alec being profoundly hearing impaired. Dawn had to stop working as a nurse in order to take care of the twins full time. As the boys get older, the home's cramped narrow hallways, steep stairs, crumbling driveway and single, handicapped inaccessible bathroom are posing great problems for them and slowing their development. Now it's up to Ty and his designers to equip the Martirez's home to accommodate the twins' special needs.
Sam Malek has endured 29 surgeries for his cerebral palsy over the past 40 years, beating the odds so many times. In April of 2007, he took out a second mortgage on his home to purchase a small coffee shop that insists on their motto, "Helping Challenged People One Cup at a Time." At "More Than Coffee," Sam employs disabled individuals to help him in the shop and donates a portion of the profits to local charities. However the condition of the shop makes it hard for him and his employees to work, for its cramped space, termite infestation and lack of proper equipment hinder their potential. Ty and his designers will have to step up to the challenge of making over Sam Malek's shop while working on the Martirez home at the same time.
While Ty and the designers, local builder is Callier Thompson Shea Construction & Design, LLC, Consolidated Construction Group Inc and hundreds of volunteers and workers are rebuilding, the Martirez and Malek families will go on vacation to Disneyworld.

Ubisoft's new sandbox IP Watch Dogs depicts a world where being a tech nerd makes you a god, and where your power is limited only by your knowledge of hacking. The main character also carries a gun, though, because when push comes to shove you probably don't want to rely on throwing your iPhone at someone's face to knock them out.
The aforementioned protagonist is Aiden Pearce, a man of many layers (probably wise when you live in the Windy City) who is apparently part of an underground community of hackers who use their ability to manipulate the centralized citywide control network to exact vigilante justice on the no-good criminals (as opposed to the good criminals) of Chicago.
Watch Dogs is already solidly in the top 5 most pre-ordered games still to come in 2013, and to help further cement its place there Ubisoft has a released a brand new trailer that showcases some of the praise given by critics who previewed the game at E3 this year. It might have something to do with Grand Theft Auto V also vying for top place on the pre-orders list, but there seems to be more of an emphasis on the open-world driving aspects of Watch Dogs in this trailer as well.
A second video for Watch Dogs features a celebrity cameo by actress, comedian and host Aisha Tyler, but this one is slightly underwhelming. Not only is there a slight dissonance in seeing footage from Watch Dogs with such clunky graphics, after being spoiled by trailer upon trailer of eye-blistering next-gen quality, but the slapstick punchline also falls a little flat. Perhaps it's because we're missing the larger context, or perhaps this is some kind of inside joke known only to Tyler and people who work at Ubisoft. Having said that, Tyler's "personal details" are pretty amusing.
Don't take Ubisoft to task too harshly over this second trailer, however. Creative director Jonathan Morin has explained on Twitter (the comments have since been removed, but were recorded by NeoGAF) that it was actually released by accident and that the graphics aren't representative of the finished product. It sounds like someone let the office intern a little too close to the computers:
"Its simply someone who don't know the tech who check the wrong stuff… So no versions here… You know sometimes 100s of people working together causes communications issues lets just say that ;)… I see the game every day and I can tell you, this trailer is far from it…"
Another great trailer for Watch Dogs that's only slightly tempered by the accidental spillage of the second. If only Aiden Pearce could hack Ubisoft and somehow make them release the game several months early for us.
Watch Dogs releases November 19, 2013 for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U, and will also be available for the PS4 and Xbox One.

Academic Freedom & the Suppression of a Professor Who Teaches the Reality of Israeli Military Occupation
The suppression of students and faculty supportive of Palestinians and critical of Israeli occupation seems to have become more pronounced this month.
At Barnard College, a Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter went through the appropriate channels to obtain permission to hang a banner for Israeli Apartheid Week. The banner, which read "Stand for Justice, Stand for Palestine," was taken down by college administrators after groups pressured the college.
An SJP chapter at Northeastern University was suspended by the university's Center for Student Involvement for one year. Max Blumenthal reported for Mondoweiss that "SJP's February 24 distribution of notices across Northeastern campuses that mocked the sort of eviction notices slapped on Palestinian homes slated for Israeli demolition – an awareness-raising tactic increasing in popularity among SJP chapters nationwide," contributed to the decision to ban the chapter. (Subsequently, university police visited Muslim and Arab members of SJP and the university pursued "disciplinary sanctions" against students.)
There is a third case in Chicago, which has received less attention. It involves a part-time faculty member named Iymen Chehade, who teaches a course called "The Israeli/Palestine Conflict" at Columbia College Chicago, a college for arts and communication education.
Before proceeding, I must acknowledge that Columbia College Chicago is my alma mater. If I was still enrolled, I would be speaking out in support of Chehade and the students.
Chehade decided to screen 5 Broken Cameras to his class. It is a film by Emad Burnat, a Palestinian farmer and first-time filmmaker, and was the first Palestinian documentary to be nominated for an Oscar. It tells the story of Burnat's life, as he documents the brutality nonviolent protesters suffer at the hands of Israeli settlers and soldiers who protest a separation wall expanded in the village of Bil'in on the West Bank.
One student complained to the administration about the class after this screening. Administrators decided to meet with Chehade and tell him that he needed to be more balanced. A few days later, the college eliminated the class from the fall semester of 2014.
The Illinois Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) found the complaint from the student "trespassed on the academic freedom of a professor and should have been referred back to the instructor for resolution."
"Because a student objected to a film, Columbia College acted in a manner that strongly suggests a desire to suppress a narrative that deviates from the predominant accepted discourse on matters pertaining to the long-standing conflict between the State of Israel and the Palestinian population living in the West Bank and Gaza," AAUP Illinois declared.
A letter by AAUP Illinois to Dr. Louise Love, the vice president of academic affairs at the college, provides a glimpse into the pressure that can be brought to bear against instructors at American campuses or universities.
"On October 28, 2013 Professor Chehade was made aware of the undated student complaint in a meeting with Chairperson Corey. According to Professor Chehade, Chairperson Corey [of the Department of Humanities, History and Social Sciences] refused to reveal the identity of the student but at one point described the student as a 'she.'" Corey asked if Chehade was "balanced" in his teaching.
In another meeting, Love asked Chehade "if he presents the material in the class from a balanced perspective."
"These interrogatories between yourself as the senior academic officer of Columbia College, Chairperson Corey and a contingent part-time adjunct have a chilling effect on academic freedom," the chapter concluded. "The issue of 'balance' is frequently used to rein in a professor from critical thinking and new pathways of knowledge toward a consensus approach that is more acceptable to elite or mainstream opinion. Both you and Dr. Corey appeared to be taking sides in raising this issue and were unnecessarily questioning the pedagogical manner of Professor Chehade."
The unidentified student apparently agreed to serve as a kind of agent for the department and "report back to the chair at the end of the semester." AAUP Illinois considered this to be a further violation of Chehade's academic freedom" because "department chairs should not use students as scouts or monitors of a professor's performance."
Chehade was apparently offered a contract to teach two sections of the Israeli/Palestine Conflict course on October 28, 2013. It was scheduled and students had been registering. Therefore, as the college suggests, the removal of a section could not be the result of a "review" of enrollment. AAUP Illinois suggested "Columbia College was trying to limit additional student exposure to Professor Chehade's teaching of the Israel-Palestinian conflict."
Administrators even tried to hush him and smooth things over by offering him an opportunity to teach "Middle East History: To Muhammad." The only issue Chehade had is that this was "1,400 years removed from the Palestine conflict and the course was not Within his area of expertise." Chehade "honorably declined the course and surrendered approximately $4,600 that he would have received for teaching a second course."
A critical point on "balance" is made in the letter from AAUP Illinois. This should be the response to any college or university that suppresses the teaching of any professor like Chehade:
…Professor Chehade has the academic freedom protection to present material in his own name in a course and articulate opinions in class. Professors are not bean counters and need not pursue an ephemeral, sterile "balance" at the expense of "professing" and pursuing the art of teaching as a moral act. Specifically, Professor Chehade has the right to show the film, 5 Broken Cameras. His academic freedom gives him the right to introduce controversial course-related topics, and materials into his classroom. He need not insure that equal time in the name of balance is given on every topic brought into class. A course on slavery need not proffer arguments for and against the racist, dreaded institution. A course on gay rights or the history of genocide need not "balance" the number of arguments in favor of gay rights and in opposition to genocide with those that support discrimination against homosexuals and mass murder…
AAUP Illinois recommended that college administrators reassess the process for handling student complaints and also offer two sections of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict course in the fall semester of 2014.
"Student interest has been robust and given the public scrutiny surrounding this case will likely increase looking forward."
Appearing in a video segment produced by The Real News, Chehade explained, "This is a very popular course. It's a course that's garnered a lot of interest at Columbia College. We've had three sections of it at one time. There is a consistency as far as the high number of students in the class in all three sections when I had the three sections and all two sections when I had two sections."
Here is how Chehade addressed the issue of "balance":
DESVARIEUX: Iymen, you know, it's common to hear calls for a more balanced approach, especially when you discuss Israel and Palestine. Isn't this a fair demand in an academic setting, especially in regards to a subject of such important geopolitical significance and human rights?
CHEHADE: Well, when you take a look at the conflict itself, it is asymmetrical. It is–people like to present it as an issue that is between two equal opposing sides that are fighting over territory, but it is much more than that. It is actually one group of people who have the power that is derivative of a nation state, which includes a military, which includes funding from around the world, against a group of people who do not have civil rights and who are under occupation, which is illegal under international law–the building of settlements, the continued dispossession of the Palestinian people for decades now is–if you look at international law, these are facts. These are not opinions. These are not things that can be balanced, because they are fact. And so the presentation of these facts is what the issue is here.
This is the result of a dynamic happening in academic settings across the United States. Student chapters of Hillel, which seek to provide a community for Jewish students but also engage in efforts against those who are critical of Israel, launch what effectively become campus-wide defamation campaigns they would be incensed by if a similar campaign was carried out against a pro-Israel professor.
In fact, Chehade has been targeted by the Hillel student chapter at Columbia College.
"In the fall semester of 2011, eight students from three different sections of Chehade's course, some of them members of Hillel, signed a petition also making the charge of 'bias' against Chehade," according to Eric Ruder of SocialistWorker.org. "In a follow-up meeting between the students, Chehade and some Columbia College administrators, the students cited as examples of Chehade's bias that he referred to the West Bank and Gaza as the "Occupied Territories" (they preferred the term "Disputed Territories") and that he used the term 'ethnic cleansing' to describe how Israel drove some 750,000 Palestinians from their land and homes through violence, intimidation and terror."
Chehade's story is not unique to the times. As the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement escalates (and even wins victories), the pressure on professors to be "balanced" or censor what they teach about the conflict is likely to intensify. But it is particularly unsettling, as someone who graduated from Columbia College, to see administrators allow this to happen.
The college's mission, which I heard over and over again when I was enrolled, is "to educate students who will communicate creatively and shape the public's perceptions of issues and events and who will author the culture of their times." Administrators should not only encourage the screening of films like 5 Broken Cameras, which have the power to do just that, but also encourage campus screenings of this kind of art that has the power to generate provocative discussion.
Unfortunately, administrators forsook the school's mission and allowed one unidentified student's complaint to spur the suppression of a professor's class on one of the most significant subjects of our time.

After confusion, city will try new resident-alert system again
Last week, the Grand Junction Police Department's first attempt to use the new, automated Regional Communications System to alert residents didn't go so well.
This morning, the city will try it again.
The system was purchased last year for $115,990 from Everbridge along with a yearly service contract for $81,990. It contacted 50,000 residents by phone and e-mail about Xcel Energy flying a helicopter at low levels for inspection of high-pressure gas lines.
But more than 400 residents called 911 and Xcel confused and concerned about the message.
Public safety officials will try to do a better job of categorizing messages as emergencies or informational, said Paula Creasy, manager of the communications center.
The call recipients are people who registered with the Police Department to automatically receive emergency notifications and public safety messages.
During the first tryout, the system notified residents of an "emergency" and were then told to push No. 1 on their phone's keypad to learn more.
Many residents were disconnected, or they panicked and immediately called 911.
"It sounded like we've got an emergency going on. It was kind of scary," said Joanne Specht.
She received the call and thought it was a message from the hospital regarding a relative. She dropped the phone and rushed to see what was the matter.
"Who knows where my brain was, because I was so concerned," she said.
Specht was upset that the message was portrayed as a true emergency and not as a public notification. "To me an emergency is not a low-flying helicopter," she said.
"They need to somehow change the beginning of the recording."
Said Creasy, "There are two different message systems in place. We sent the emergency message. But we also want to use this for public communication. That is how this message should have gone out."
The communication's center will beef up its staff today and for future notifications to deal with possible calls, she said.
"And we have to provide training to staff," Creasy said.

Jags TE Lewis given five-year deal worth up to $38M
Published: August 5th, 2011 | Tags: Marcedes Lewis, Jacksonvill Jaguars
Veteran TE Marcedes Lewis received a five-year deal from the Jaguars worth $34 million in base salary and $38 million including incentives, according to a league source.
The deal includes $17 million guaranteed and is similar to the contract recently signed by Seahawks TE Zach Miller, though with the ability to earn more via incentives.
Lewis, who received the Jaguars' franchise tag this year, initially didn't report to training camp while he sought a long-term deal, but he showed up Monday. The former first-round draft pick had a breakout 2010 season, posting career highs in receptions (58), yards (700) and touchdowns (10).

According to data released by GfK ChartTrack, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's run at the top of the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart has been ended by Ubisoft's surprise Wii hit, Just Dance.
Just Dance debuted on the chart at No.100 seven weeks ago, but has been steadily rising ever since to become Ubisoft's first No.1 since Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 back in March 2008. The game saw a huge 114 per cent rise in sales week-on-week, enough to see it overtake Modern Warfare 2 and Wii Fit Plus.
Modern Warfare 2 actually has to settle for third place on the chart, beaten into second by the aforementioned Wii fitness title.
EA's Army of Two: The 40th Day is new at No.4, Wii Sports Resort slips to No.5, THQ's Darksiders climbs two places to No.6, Bayonetta slides to No.7 and FIFA 10 drops to No.8. Ubisoft takes ninth and tenth places with Avatar and Assassin's Creed II respectively.
New releases to look out for next week include Capcom's Dark Void and Resident Evil Archives: Zero. While the former is expected to chart higher, neither seems likely to shake up the chart's upper echelon.

From the Left Hand Corner: Times have changed
Congratulations to Janet Yellen! I don't know her and I didn't know of her until a week ago.
Ms. Yellen presents a likelihood of one strong, sensible move to keep a fairly aggressive Federal Reserve Board policy in place to alleviate the dragged out aspects of the recent recession.
I really like the fact that it is quite clear that she wasn't appointed because she is a woman. She was appointed because she was the logical choice, the most experienced, the best qualified and most ready to serve.
She served ably as second in command on the Federal Reserve Board. Yellen has unique and impressive credentials. She has earned and won a litany of professional awards and honors. But in the past, she likely would have been passed over, and a male appointed.
How different this is from the past century, or just the past decade or past years, in fact. Times have changed.
Just a decade or so ago, when phasing over from Duluth, I was in need of a local bank. I saw and was intrigued by a newspaper ad depicting the bank's personnel. All portrayed were women.
Since then, I remember a couple conferences with the man in charge, but 99 percent of my routine banking contacts have been with the capable/competent, friendly women working there.
What a far cry that was from the one and only Farmer's State Bank that existed in Pequot Lakes when I was a kid. Every man seeking a loan had to go through the gruff male bank owner. He inevitably opened the cross communication with, "How many cows you got?"
I have no way of knowing what salaries were paid back then, but I can make a good guess, based on the houses they lived in and the cars they drove. Other than for the banker and favored male underlings, salaries were low, lower and lowest, with the latter two slots for the female tellers — one who had been there forever, and my cousin, who was shortly out of high school. She was probably the smartest among the hardest working, and certainly along with the other female employee the most personable employee there. I don't know how she remembers it, but rather suspect the glass ceiling she encountered then was made of steel.
If I remember correctly, when I started law school there were two women in the upper grades and three in the freshman class. Only one of the women in our class survived until spring, and I believe she dropped out later. Now, I am advised that there are more female than male students in many, if not most, law schools.
In the 1950s, I was lucky enough to have a few lively conversations with the one and only female lawyer in this area, who exuded colorful competence. There was one female part-time practicing lawyer when I started in Duluth, and one other, who slowly and gradually broke through to judicial capacity.
During growing-up years in this area, I don't recall even hearing of, let alone encountering or being treated by, any female doctors.
In business, the rare exception of businesses headed by women almost always resulted from inheritance or widowhood. Whoever heard of a female pastor being called to their or a neighbor's church even 30 or 40 years ago?
Just last week, I made a very infrequent personal trip to visit my business bank in Duluth. I walked in the back door, through the whole office complex to the front teller section without seeing a single male employee, not even a "supervisor" type. Maybe males were hidden behind closed doors (board room, no doubt), out of their office, or non-existent.
My errand was delayed by a computer that first specifically denied any recording of a substantial deposit to a trust account from which I was attempting to make a timely disbursement. The computer denied that I had a bank account, questioned whether I had any account at that bank, and for a while it even contended my non-existence.
Thanks to a perplexed, but patient female teller, patient female supervisor and basic information from my female office employee, the dilemma was dealt with. Being of no help in solving the computer glitch, I impatiently wandered around the premises, bored to the point of looking at the traditional photograph on the main hall wall. What an amusing contrast! There was a big, formal photograph of a very big desk fronting a very big seated man. He was surrounded by a dozen employees of various age, weight and width, all stiffly suited and collared. All were male.
Times have changed.
After completing the transaction, I walked out the same back door and across the parking lot without observing another male.
Times have changed.
Back then, most intelligent, ambitious young women who did move on through post high school education earned, along with their degree, the grand choice of being a relative low-paid nurse or teacher, mostly at grade school level. When I started to represent teachers, they were just past contracts where men were paid at a higher level than women for the same exact teaching assignments.
"Men need more money because they had families to support." There were no female school administrators, not even at principal level.
It is too late to do anything to correct the huge inequality that existed back then. It is hard for those of our gender to comprehend.

Today's Headlines and Commentary
Today's Headlines and Commentary
A Pakistani parliamentary commission has demanded an end to U.S. drone attacks within the country's borders, reports USA Today, Dawn, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
At the Times, John Schwartz gives us an idea of what to expect in the military tribunal that will be hearing the case of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales over the deaths of Afghan civilians a little over a week ago. Bales is not subject to the Afghan criminal justice system based on a status of forces agreement between the U.S. and Afghan governments, Schwartz tells us.
Jack's got a lengthy article post over at Foreign Policy on drone strike policy. In the meantime, the nerds over at MIT are teaching drones how to read hand gestures.
Ellen Nakashima at the Post had this story yesterday on the injection of funding into cyberweapons development, totalling $500M over 5 years at DARPA.
Dozens have been killed in attacks taking place across Iraq as the Arab League summit taking place next week draws near. Alice Fordham and Aziz Alwan at the Post report, as does Jack Healy at the Times.
Karen Greenberg from Fordham Law's Center on National Security has this lengthy op-ed at the Huffington Post on the impact the war on terror has had on civil liberties:
[T]he legal gray zone Washington has, over the course of a decade, plunged us into -- and everything that goes with it, including punitive measures, attempts to bypass constitutional guarantees, the spread of secrecy and surveillance, a growing distrust of American citizens, and straightforward killing -- isn't something we will soon put behind us. The move away from the rights and liberties enshrined in the Constitution and the law is very clearly the way of the American future in our new age of enemies.
Josh Gerstein reports over at the Politico on U.S. interpretation of of Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, about which Senators Wyden and Udall wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder late last week. The provision gives the FBI the authority to:
make an application for an order requiring the production of any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution.
(2) An order under this subsection shall not disclose that it is issued for purposes of an investigation described in subsection (a).(d) No person shall disclose to any other person (other than those persons necessary to produce the tangible things under this section) that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has sought or obtained tangible things under this section.
Don't ever let people tell you that we're neglecting our veterans: a bipartisan bill introduced by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Representative Walter Jones (R-NC) will not only promote all military dogs to being considered "members" of the armed services (up from their previous classification as equipment), but it would also establish nonprofit organizations to pay for some or all of their health care costs in retirement.

At the 6th International Conference on Diversity in 2006, participants from Northern Ireland and Canada had the opportunity to meet and discuss parallels between Irish Travellers in Northern Ireland and First Nations People in Canada. First Nations community development workers from Canada subsequently travelled to Northern Ireland to facilitate a series of workshops with a range of Irish Traveller organisations and Irish Travellers themselves. This paper discusses the impact and potential of this exchange between indigenous marginalised groups. It begins with an overview of the Irish Traveller and First Nations populations in Northern Ireland and Canada, as well as various policy responses to them. The paper then highlights some of the discussions that have taken place during Sharing The Story project activities – many of which have centred on improving community development practices and influencing effective public policy in relation to Irish Travellers. The interaction between First Nations people and Travellers has also opened up valuable space to explore new approaches to achieving positive change for Irish Travellers. This paper argues that this type of dialogue presents a useful alternative to the highly polarised debate that often takes place about the assimilation or integration of Travellers.

Two rethink guilty pleas in case of animal cruelty
The Delta County couple facing 11 counts of animal cruelty will raise a challenge to the guilty plea they offered this spring to the original cruelty charge.
When Charles and Patricia Keune appear before Delta County Judge Sandra K. Miller next month, they will challenge the guilty plea they offered in March in connection with the death of a horse they owned.
Miller was unsurprised that the Keunes will question that guilty plea, said their attorney, T. Michael Holmes of Grand Junction.
The Keunes seemed unaware that 11 separate cruelty charges were pending against them at the time they pleaded guilty in the original case, Holmes said.
Under the original plea, the Keunes agreed to a deferred judgment and sentence in which they surrendered five horses and six head of cattle to authorities and were prohibited from owning any other livestock. The conviction would be voided if they avoided any run-ins with the law for two years.
Animal cruelty is a Class 1 misdemeanor that carries a possible two-year jail sentence.
The Keunes face one charge for each of the animals removed from their residence at 13244 Road 2900. The original charge related to an incident March 12 in which a renderer said Charles Keune called her to pick up a dead horse at his property.
The horse, however, wasn't dead, the renderer, April Wilson said, and in fact was alert and ate hay from her hand.
When Wilson advised Keune that the horse needed only food and water, Keune walked away from her, Wilson said.
Wilson was called a few hours late to pick up the horse, which by then had died, Wilson said.
