Wine from the Nandi Hills in India
I had been meaning to try this wine for months, after seeing a number of Grover bottlings in the Portland area. I've even seen some tasting notes online but they largely scared me away. The only really positive thing I recall reading was about the white wine. So when I saw this bottling for about $6 in a local bargain bin, I couldn't resist entering the world of Indian wine. Never mind the label's boast of enology services from the internationally employed Michel Rolland. That doesn't suggest artisanal wine, but I can't be picky with wine from the tropics.
So how is the Grover Sauvignon Blanc? Pretty good, in fact better after a couple days open in the refridgerator. It's clearly a modern, clean wine, but with a piercing acidity that seemed disjointed at first, then turned more pleasing over a few nights. The wine smells more like chardonnay or pinot gris than sauvignon, but it has some varietal character with grass notes mixed into the tart citrus flavors.
I understand that the grapes are grown at 5000 ft outside of Bangalore, well south of the Tropic of Cancer. I imagine the altitude allows for cool nights. Wikipedia says there is eucaplytus in the area, but also coffee and what sounds like high humidity. Hmm. Who knows how they grow vinifera grapes in such conditions, but the results are pretty good.
This isn't earthmoving wine, but if you see it in the low teens or less, it's worth a try. If only to say you've had wine from the subcontinent.

Recycled Wine Reviews
Let's be clear about one thing. Matt Kramer is a terrific wine writer. We should only wish other writers (myself included) were half as good.
That said, no one's perfect.
Kramer might be best known these days for his long running column in the Wine Spectator magazine. That's not to discount his small catalog of well regarded wine books. He also writes a column that appears in our local newspaper, The Oregonian.
That weekly column usually has two or three terrific buys, mostly around $20 or less, each one picked for its value and distinction. For local producers, getting a review is good for selling at least a palate of wine (that's 56 twelve bottle cases). I highly recommend you check out his reviews if you don't already.
That said, after reading about a super cheap 2006 Spanish garnacha a few Sundays back, I search online for the column to remember the name of the co-op that produced the wine. Here's what I found:
This helps explain just why Castillo de Monséran Garnacha 2004 is so improbably good. The Cariñena district is recognized as a good spot for growing better-than-average grenache. And like so many other vineyard areas in
, these vines are old, which tends to lend character to the grapes. Spain
This is terrific, bursting-with-fruit grenache (the label, by the way, is marketsavvy: It declares both grenache and garnacha). It's silky red wine that slides down the gullet without a catch and is mercifully free of any oakiness.
Hmm. That sounded familiar. But this was Kramer's column in the
Searching further, I found the review I had seen in the Oregonian:
This helps explain just why Castillo de Monseran Garnacha 2006 is so improbably good. The Carinena district is recognized as a good spot for growing better-than-average grenache. And like so many other vineyard areas in
, the vines are old, which tends to lend character to grapes. Spain
This is pretty, bursting-with-fruit grenache plumped with the grapey/black cherry flavors that characterize this variety. It's a silky red wine that slides down without a catch and is mercifully free of any oakiness.
Now this is just a $7 large production wine from a Spanish cooperative. I'm sure the '04 wasn't much different than the '06.
But are we that short of writers that our newspapers just recycle content? I'd gladly write for the local rag if the regular guy is too busy to write something new. Don't people realize that, with the internet, you can't do this anymore without getting caught?
I do like how there are subtle differences between the "different" passages. I'm sure it's just editors doing their thing. But does "gullet" not resonate on the west coast? Can we not handle it? Does the local rag have something against accents in foreign words? There are many questions.
For what it's worth, I bought a bottle of this 2006 Castillo de Monseran Garnacha for $6.99 at a local market. And it's terrific. In a world where budget Spanish red wines have largely become candied, oaky, sweet, fruit punch wines, this wine actually has aroma. It tastes delicious, too. It's the best, cheapest red wine I've had in a while.
Too bad the Kramer review leaves such a bad taste. Better luck next time.

Wine Anxiety
Are you ever reluctant to buy a wine because of what the wine shop staff will think?
I know I am, and I'm not alone. In fact, I recently wanted to write about this situation, but initially decided not to when I thought maybe it was just me. You know, buck up, don't worry about what people think.
But it's not so simple. Just the other day, I was in a local wine shop talking to the proprietor and the subject came up. And the stories I heard made me think about the situation in a whole new way. The experience made me want to write about it again.
What originally brought all this on was a visit a few weeks back to another local wine shop that had two different wines from
Jamain makes nice if light, delicate wines from a lesser known Reuilly appellation. Only instead of bottle prices ranging from $14 to $20, here were cases of the 2005 Jamain Reuilly Pinot Gris Rosé for $5 and the 2002 Jamain Reuilly Les Pierres Plates for just $7.
Usually such startling discounts suggest damaged goods. Here was "old" rosé from a grape you're not "supposed" to make rosé from, and a five year old sauvignon blanc, albeit from a terrific vintage. But this wasn't some lowbrow shop. They wouldn't bring in wine that was damaged, right? Right, as it turned out in this case.
But I've worked in a fine wine shop that occasionally had wine for sale at bargain prices that wasn't very good. It happens. And if you think that you can just ask the staff for an honest opinion, even at a "good" shop, what could I say when a customer asked me for my opinion. Usually I hemmed and hawed, unsure of how honest I could be and completely uncomfortable about the whole thing. One time I was completely honest and I got in some trouble. I didn't work there long and the owners were probably fine with that.
Still, I asked a staff member who I know for his opinion on the Jamain wines, and though he was fairly positive, I could tell he was hesitant. He ended with the faint praise that the wines are priced "appropriately." Hmm, what does that really mean? Is that code for "don't buy it, it's only here to satisfy our cheap ass customers who can't tell Gallo from Maxim Grunhauser?"
I knew he couldn't be completely honest with me. His boss was right there. And he didn't want to rain on my parade if I was interested in the wines. These are delicate situations to be sure. But I know that it's common for wine shops all over to have wines that are sold with at least some amount contempt. Were these such wines?
Which brings me back to the conversation the other day with the proprietor, who had joked about his wife asking him, "what, another gruner veltliner?" when he came out of a store a while back after having to buy a last minute pinot noir on the way to a dinner party. He'd gone in for one bottle but felt the need to buy something else to keep the staff from snickering.
Now why would this matter? Surely we're above such adolescent behavior, right?
Wrong. The proprietor rolled into a few stories – and I have plenty of my own – of being in wine shops when a customer leaves with a bottle of, say, high priced California cabernet, only to have the wine geek staff, and even the shop owner, tear the customer to pieces for buying such awful wine. Let's not get into the rumors you'll hear about what supposed crap some famous winemaker adores, or how drunk he or she got toasted at one event or another.
The fact is, this happens a lot, maybe more than you think. And while we must rise above that fray, it can be tough in the moment to feel comfortable buying what you want to buy. Call it what you want, but that's the honest truth we all go through in any purchasing situation.
I appreciated the proprietor's take that it's bullshit for wine shop staff, and especially an owner, to participate in the somewhat public hazing of a customer. Who knew who else was listening, or if they knew the person or, at the least, might take the opportunity to tell a stranger what the shop really thinks of him.
Why's this important? Because it's at the heart of the weird feelings people have about some wine shops. That snobby sense of not belonging or not measuring up, when we're at most trying to satisfy an intellectual passion or at the least just trying to get some hooch to make the night a little more fun.
I'll be honest. I've passed up some things that I just couldn't, for whatever reason, bring myself to bring to the counter. And I've done as the proprietor and mixed in some coded wine in some weird attempt to display my alleged wine cred. I've quietly enjoyed compliments at some of my selections. And I imagine I've been the butt of some jokes about the "bargains" I like to purchase.
This time, of course, I bought one of each Jamain wine. The rosé wasn't so hot. Not tired or oxidized, just a bit tart and more phenolic than I remember. Maybe we shouldn't make rosé out of pinot gris after all (though secretly I want to try it myself…oops). Yet the blanc was delicious, more like a light, dry chenin than sauvignon with a waxy roundness that kept my interest over a few nights. This isn't a wine to cellar much longer, but I bought another and will enjoy it in the coming months.
In the end, yes, we should be resolute with the confidence to buy what we want to buy. But it doesn't always play out that way, and that's what interests me in the whole affair. What do you think? Ever been ashamed to buy a wine? Maybe next time, we'll be a little less reluctant to be who we are. And hopefully those who exchange our big bills for change will keep their oh-so-knowledgeable opinions to themselves. That includes you too, boss.

Hi guys, i'm just doing a video for another of my tracks and need to know the name of the tiny cottage on Saddell Bay - the one on the opposite end of the beach to the castle, as used on Macca's Mull Of Kintyre vid.
I checked the Landmark trust site and found this - but if this IS the one I mean, then it has recently been done up as it wasn't looking like that last year! Also if so, I'd like to know if Cul Na Shee is it's historic name - or a Trust addition?
So, if anyone knows name and/or any history, would be good to hear!

The comfort of timelessness
At the heart of the racing experience is a timelessness that is somehow comforting in the face of the continual change, crisis, strife and atrocity that are the threads of human history. The map of the world has been redrawn countless times during the roughly three centuries in which the modern thoroughbred has come to symbolize the definition of equine evolution. Through wars waged in the name of religion, ideology, imperialism and every conceivable form of grotesquely twisted zeal, the essence of racing the fruit of selective breeding remains hauntingly unchanged.
It is not that centuries of racing have produced no advances in technology, veterinary medicine, equipment and nutrition, but that all these have failed collectively to develop a horse significantly faster than those who raced a century ago. The best horse of the 20th Century was either Man o' War, who was born in 1917, or Secretariat, a foal of 1970.
The eleven horses capable of winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes at age three-- the Triple Crown, which is the sport's ultimate and most rare achievement -- emerged between the years 1919 and 1978. In a world steeped in violent confrontation the racing world remains one level of reality removed from the strife, plagues and travails of humankind and several levels removed even from the most acrimonious and consuming of conflicts.
Federico Tesio, the legendary breeder, owner and trainer of a legion of champion horses and two legends, Nearco and Ribot, observed that, during World War II, the horses at his Dormello Stud, in the north of Italy, became oblivious to the explosions of bombs that fell nearby. The sport was conducted in this country during World War II until shortages or manpower and materials brought on a moratorium at the beginning of 1943. Racing was conducted in Saigon through much of the war in Vietnam, was among the last of public events suspended in Baghdad, days before the invasion of Iraq, and the first to be resumed. In a place where many attach little value on human life, Iraqi grooms stayed with their horses during the rain of bombs.
The planet has seen the rise and fall of pagan, Christian and Muslim empires, fascism and communism, endured Caligula, Nero, Attila, Hitler, Stalin and Mao, Castro, Saddam Hussein, the Ku Klux Klan, skinheads, radical fundamentalist Islamofascists and reality television, two global conflicts, revolutions, including the one that resulted in the United States, countless civil wars, including our own, centuries of murder in the name of Jesus and Allah, put humans in outer space, suffered plagues and pandemics, disco, an array of recurring natural disasters, the Industrial Revolution, Prohibition, the information age and 9-11 – but a horse is a horse. If it is capable of running six furlongs in 68 seconds or ten furlongs in two minutes, you've got something to work with.
If the animal that is engaged in the central activity, the epicenter of a huge and diverse industry that embraces elements as incongruous as agriculture and gaming has not become appreciably faster in at least a century while the actual task has been affected profoundly only by the invention of the mechanical starting gate and the evolution of the American-style posture of riders, which moved the burden of weight from the back to a position over the withers and greatly diminished its impact on performance, the racing experience is profoundly different than it was when this was really the "Sport of Kings." -- PM

Update (9/1/11):
BRANDON — Schoolchildren in Brandon, Leicester, Whiting and Goshen, as well as in the rest of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union, got three extra days of summer vacation courtesy of Tropical Storm Irene.
After a flurry of meetings, officials from RNeSU and the town of Brandon on Tuesday decided to postpone the beginning of the school year until Tuesday, Sept. 6, in the wake of Sunday's epic flooding.
ADDISON COUNTY — Officials at the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) on Monday afternoon were continuing to work toward full recovery of the roadways around Addison County and Vermont that were flooded on Sunday as the remnants of Hurricane Irene swept through Vermont.
In Addison County the flooding appears to have been less severe than in other parts of the Vermont. According to Chris Cole, VTrans Director of Policy, Planning and Intermodal Development, the southern counties Bennington and Windham were hit especially hard.
ADDISON COUNTY — Driving rain and wind gusts exceeding 30 miles per hour toppled trees into telephone lines, cutting power to thousands of Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS) and Green Mountain Power (GMP) customers.
At about 10 a.m. Monday, CVPS was reporting 2,518 outages in Addison County and GMP was reporting 91. More than 55,000 customers lost power statewide, with officials warning it could be days before electricity was completely restored.
RIPTON/MIDDLEBURY — In a scene somewhat reminiscent of the flooding of August 2008, Route 125 from East Middlebury to Ripton experienced washouts in three locations as Tropical Storm Irene ripped through Addison County Sunday.
In one location, the Middlebury River took out a swath of guardrail, noted Ripton Selectman Richard Collitt.
"It's nothing as serious as 2008," Collitt said, harkening back to a brutal stretch of rain that erased several portions of Route 125 and took out entire sections of some local roads in Ripton, East Middlebury, Salisbury, Leicester, Goshen and Hancock.
BRISTOL — Bristol residents who use the municipal water system were told to boil their water Sunday after officials became aware that flooding may have contaminated a part of the system.
Bristol water users were told to boil their water for five minutes before consuming it until further notice. Officials hoped to rescind the order as early as Wednesday, but at press time the order was still in effect.
In the wake of Tropical Storm Irene, hundreds of local residents are still reeling from her damaging effects. To help us all better weather this storm, the Independent wants to know how you and your towns were impacted. What better way to share your experiences and stories than through a picture?
ADDISON COUNTY — Residents across Addison County and Brandon this morning are coping with the massive amount of water that the remnants of Hurricane Irene dumped on Vermont over the weekend.
State roads — including parts of Routes 7, 30, 22A, 116, 125 and 17 — were closed for a time on Sunday and into Monday, as well as local roads in many communities. In New Haven, the Nash Bridge on River Road was closed due to water being over the bridge, and a part of River Road in Bristol was also closed for a time.

Business growth and cost control driving corporate real estate strategies according to Jones Lang LaSalle's inaugural survey of Chinese corporations
SINGAPORE, 11 July 2012 – A new survey from Jones Lang LaSalle shows that Chinese firms are increasingly embedding corporate real estate (CRE) strategies into their businesses and embracing outsourcing, mirroring overseas trends in response to organic growth, M&A activity and cost pressures.
Key findings from the survey, 'The Dragon is Stirring':
• The most influential factors shaping CRE strategies in China are cost pressure (53%) and organic growth (47%)• 93% of firms expect to grow their real estate portfolio in China, and 15% of those also anticipate international expansion• Where present abroad, 13% have a foothold in South East Asia (16% targeting), 11% are in Australia and North America (13% and 19% targeting respectively) and 13% are targeting Europe• Future location decisions in China will be driven by business criteria (50%), incentives (42%) and costs (38%)• More than half (53%) are considering strategies that enable mobile working to increase productivity and improve workspace utilisation (50%) and to attract and retain talent (32%)• We will see a dramatic shift toward outsourcing – 70% are considering adopting a mix of in-house and outsourced CRE delivery within three years; a further 10% are considering fully outsourced delivery from none in 2011• CRE structures are gradually transforming – a quarter of firms surveyed have established a dedicated CRE department and more than half have a CRE strategy in place today
John Forrest, CEO of Corporate Solutions, Asia Pacific at Jones Lang LaSalle said: "Large Chinese corporations are recognising that strategic real estate management can positively impact their business productivity, from cost control to employee satisfaction and brand image. Domestic and overseas expansion plans are the most powerful drivers shaping CRE structures and strategies. Looking ahead we expect to see CRE play an increasingly pivotal role as more Chinese firms will have strategies in place, more will have dedicated CRE teams and the C-suite will engage further."

Philadelphia Eagles: A
So much of the focus of the Eagles' wide-9 defense is placed on the outside pass rushers. For this scheme to work effectively, however, the team needs penetrating interior defenders -- just like Fletcher Cox (above), the best pass-rushing defensive tackle in the draft, who could prove a steal at No. 12 overall. The Eagles landed arguably the draft's most explosive linebacker in Cal's Mychal Kendricks, the reigning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and an ideal wide-9 edge rusher in Marshall's Vinny Curry in the third round. I'm not as high on Arizona's Nick Foles as some, he has made quick decisions due to his experience in the spread offense, which could help him in the Eagles' scheme. Philadelphia found excellent value throughout the draft's third day, landing talented cover corner and return specialist Brandon Boykin in the fourth as well as reliable possession receiver Marvin McNutt and versatile offensive lineman Brandon Washington in the sixth. The team could be rewarded for their seventh-round gamble on highly touted prep running back Bryce Brown, who'll get a shot for playing time behind star LeSean McCoy. Considering how few holes the Eagles had entering this draft, they'll once again feature one of the most talented rosters in the NFL.

Seven Year Old Boy Sets Swimming Record

Original Title:
Arizona Boy Makes Swim from Alcatraz
Asked what the hardest part was about his record-breaking trek from Alcatraz to San Francisco's Aquatic Park, a 7-year-old boy from Arizona said, "The swimming."
Braxton Bilbrey made the 1.4-mile swim along with his coach, two other swimmers and a Coast Guard boat. He walked out of the water and onto the beach at 8:28 a.m. and became the youngest person ever to make the swim.
The second-grader from Glendale said he got the idea for the swim from a magazine article he read about a 9-year-old boy who was the youngest to make the swim.
Stacey Bilbrey originally wasn't sold on the idea of her son swimming from Alcatraz, but she accepted it once he proved he was dedicated to his goal.
"For a 7-year-old to be that motivated and stick with a goal that long is amazing," she said.
The boy trained for two hours a day, four times a week. He made training swims in Arizona and traveled to San Francisco Bay to practice. He has previously finished two short youth triathlons.

Minutes before the bombs blew up in Boston, Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him.
Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview.
Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff's legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee.
"He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, 'bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,'" Chris Bauman said Thursday in an interview.
Those words may help crack the mystery of who perpetrated one of the highest-profile acts of terror in the U.S. since the 2001 assault on New York City and the Washington area, one that killed three people and wounded scores.
While still in intensive care, Jeff Bauman gave the Federal Bureau of Investigation a description of the man he saw, his brother said. Bauman's information helped investigators narrow down whom to look for in hours of video of the attack, he said.
The FBI released video images of two men Thursday. Both men have on hooded sweatshirts under dark jackets; one is wearing a light-colored baseball cap turn backward on his head, while the other is wearing a dark baseball cap facing forward. Both are carrying large backpacks.
"I've had many times alone with him, and yes, he told me every single detail," Chris Bauman said.
Paul Bresson, a spokesman for the FBI in Washington, declined to comment on specific tips in the continuing investigation. Two FBI agents interviewed at the Boston office declined to confirm or deny the account.
On April 15, Remy Lawler, 25, was standing with Jeff Bauman, said her father, Arthur Lawler, of Amesbury, Mass. Shortly before the explosion, Remy, the roommate of Jeff's girlfriend, Erin Hurley, moved closer to the finish line, away from Bauman and another friend, to take better photographs.
She suffered a baseball-sized shrapnel wound.
Shortly after, Lawler called her mother's cell phone and left a message in which she cried "Mom! Mom!" Medics could be heard telling her, "You're going to be all right," her father said.
"She feels guilty about a lot of this — that she wasn't with her friends," Arthur Lawler said.
It would take hours before the Bauman family knew what had happened to Jeff. They learned about it the way much of the world did: the grisly image on television of their son being wheeled from the scene, his lower legs destroyed.
Erika Schneider, Bauman's sister, saw it first. "She called my mom, freaking out," Chris said. Chris was working at a McDonald's near their home in Concord, New Hampshire, when his mother called him.
"Chris, you have to sprint home," she said. "Something's happened."

Before Clifford Rankin �Pat� Crawford came to Kinston, he had already made his mark in the annals of Major League Baseball history.
Before Clifford Rankin �Pat� Crawford came to Kinston, he had already made his mark in the annals of Major League Baseball history.
The man lovingly known as �Captain Pat� impacted thousands of young lives in Kinston when he helped create the Kinston Recreation Department � now known as the Kinston/Lenoir County Parks and Recreation Department, which is recognized throughout North Carolina as one of the Tar Heel state�s best.
For his efforts of helping and molding youth in Kinston for decades, Crawford will be posthumously inducted into the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Hall�s new permanent home at the Woodmen Community Center. Tickets for the ceremony are available at The Free Press and at the Woodmen Center.
Representing Crawford at the Oct. 20 ceremony will be his daughter and son-in-law, Patsy and Bob Gallo.
�My dad would be very proud to be a part of this ceremony,� Patsy Gallo said. �We are really looking forward to this occasion.�
With help from some folks in town, Crawford helped form the recreation department in the mid-1940s � and Kinston would never be the same.
�He had such a love for sports and just wanted to share that love with young kids,� current KLCPRD Director Bill Ellis said. �The reason athletics is so strong in our community is because he shared his love of sports with the people who are now the grandparents and great-grandparents of people now in Kinston.�
Ellis is only the fourth recreation director in the department�s 70-year history, following in the footsteps of Crawford, Bill Fay and Jimmy Tyer. Ellis said that tradition of stability was created by Crawford.
�He got the recreation department started in Kinston and we owe him a debt of gratitude for that,� Ellis said.
George Whitfield was inducted into the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame in 2007; the man who went on to win nearly 1,000 baseball games as a prep and American Legion coach played a variety of sports in the Kinston Recreation Department, including football for Crawford.
�Captain Pat was the one who really started so many of us in sports in Kinston,� Whitfield said. �He was a low-key guy and never a yeller. He would explain to you the mistakes you made and wanted you to correct them.�
Whitfield said when athletes finished playing for Crawford and the recreation department, he supported them throughout the rest of their career and lives.
�He was a great cheerleader for all of us; he would go to our games when we got to high school and sit in the stands long before the game began just to watch us warm up,� Whitfield said. �He laid a great foundation for all of us and really made us want to be good. Captain Pat really supported us.�
Crawford, who was born in Society Hill, S.C., in 1902, played baseball for Davidson College and later was a star for the Kinston Highwaymen �outlaw league� baseball team. In 1934, he was part of the acclaimed Gas House Gang of the St. Louis Cardinals, which included Baseball Hall of Fame players Dizzy Dean, Leo Durocher, Frankie Frisch, Burleigh Grimes and Joe Medwick.
Although he played for three MLB teams � the New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds and the Cardinals � Crawford�s humility didn�t allow him to bring it up with the athletes he coached.
�In a million years, you would�ve never known he was a member of the Gas House Gang and played with Dizzy Dean and all that crowd,� Whitfield said. �To the best of my knowledge, he never mentioned that to me as long as I knew him.�
When Ellis moved to Kinston in the 1980s, he lived �right behind� Crawford.
�He was well up in age by then, but he�d sit and talk about playing professional baseball and his love for the game,� Ellis said.
Crawford was an inaugural member of the Kinston Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983. He passed away in January 1994, only three days before his 92nd birthday.
His impact on Lenoir County and its acclaimed recreation d remains today, though.
�Without Pat Crawford, there�d be no parks and recreation department,� Ellis said. �He is an extremely important part of Kinston�s history.�

Re: ViEmu moved to www.viemu.com, and new vi/vim cheat sheet and tutorial
I have just moved all ViEmu related pages over to http://www.viemu.com - the old ones still work, but they refer to the new ones, and they will eventually be phased out.
What's nicer news is that I have prepared & uploaded a quite nice vi/vim graphical cheat sheet, sporting a colorful keyboard layout, and a graphical cheat sheet based tutorial. You can find it here:
This should be a much nicer way to learn vi/vim than other text-based tutorials out there, and you can print out a large keyboard map for reference (SVG vector versions are also provided).
Hope you like it!

WILMINGTON � Law enforcement officers are monitoring a commercial storage facility in New Hanover County after two explosive devices were found there and detonated.
Authorities are not saying much about the incident or if there have been any arrests.
But two devices described as being like pipe bombs were exploded Thursday and other materials taken from the storage facility were put in a containment vessel so they could be safely moved.
Officers were on the scene overnight Thursday watching the storage center for suspicious activity. The FBI is involved in the investigation.
Authorities went to the scene Thursday after they got a call from neighbors who said they heard an explosion at the storage facility.

*The Convention met at 9 o'clock, A. M.
*See note Vol. II, page 219.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Ryan, member of the Convention.
The journal was read and approved.
The question being upon the adoption of the report of the Committee on Boundary as a part of the fundamental and general provisions, the question was put and decided in the affirmative.
On motion of Mr. Brown of Kanawha, the following additional section to the fundamental and general provisions was adopted:
"All lands lying within the State of West Virginia, which have been vested in the State of Virginia by purchase at sheriff's sale for taxes and damages delinquent thereon, whenever they become vested in the State of West Virginia, may be redeemed by the former owner by the payment to the State of West Virginia of the amount of taxes and damages due thereon, within five years after this Constitution goes into operation, and the net amount so paid in redemption shall go to the school fund. And the residue of such lands so vested and not so redeemed shall be treated as forfeited lands."
And, on motion of Mr. Van Winkle, the amended reports of the Committees on Fundamental and General Provisions; on the Judiciary Department; on the Legislative Department; and on the Executive Department, were referred to the Committee on Revision and Engrossment.
On motion of Mr. Battelle the report of the Committee on Education, as amended, was taken up on its second reading.
Following is the amended report, as now taken up for second reading:
1. All money, being the proceeds of forfeited, waste and unappropriated lands; all grants, devises or bequests that may be made to this State for the purposes of education, or where the purposes of such grants, devises or bequests are not specified; the revenues accruing from any stock, not pledged to the sinking fund, hereafter acquired by this State in any bank, and the proceeds of the sale of such stock, if the same be sold; any sums due this State from any other state, on account of educational purposes; the proceeds of the estate of all deceased persons that may have died without leaving a will or heir, and of all escheated lands; the proceeds of any taxes that may be levied on the revenues of any corporation hereafter created; and all moneys that may be paid as an equivalent for exemption from military duty, and such sums as may from time to time be appropriated by the legislature for that purpose, shall be set apart as a separate fund, to be called the school fund, and invested under such regulations as may be prescribed by law, in the interest bearing securities of the United States, or of this State; and the interest thereof shall be annually applied to the support of free schools throughout the State, and to no other purpose whatever. But any portion of said interest remaining unexpended at the close of a fiscal year, shall be added to, and remain a part of, the capital of the school fund.
2. The legislature shall provide, as soon as may be practicable, for the establishment of a thorough and efficient system of free schools. They shall provide for the support of such schools by appropriating thereto the interest of the invested school fund; the net proceeds of all forfeitures, confiscations and fines accruing to this State under the laws thereof; and by general taxation on persons and property, or otherwise. They shall also provide for raising, in each township, by the authority of the people thereof, a sum not less than one-half the amount required for the support of free schools therein.
3. Provision shall be made by law for the election, powers, duties, and compensation of a general superintendent of free schools for the State, whose term of office shall be the same as that of the governor, and for a county superintendent for each county, and for the election, in the several townships, by the people, of such officers, not specified in this Constitution, as may be necessary to carry out the objects of this article, and for the organization, whenever it may be deemed expedient to do so, of a state board of instruction.
4. The legislature shall foster and encourage moral, intellectual, scientific and agricultural improvement; they shall, whenever it may be practicable to do so, make suitable provisions for the education and maintenance of the blind, mute and insane, and for the organization of such other institutions of learning as the best interests of general education in the State may demand.
*Mr. Battelle moved to amend the same by striking out the clause embraced in the 8th and 9th lines, and inserting in lieu thereof the following, which was agreed to.
*See note Vol. II, page 219.
"This State's share of the Literary Fund of Virginia, whether paid over or otherwise liquidated; and any sums of money, stocks or property, which this State shall have the right to claim from the State of Virginia for educational purposes."
On motion of Mr. Smith the word "that," in the 15th line, was stricken out, and the word "the" inserted.
Mr. Smith moved to strike out all after the word "land," in the 18th line, to the word "and" in the 19th line, which was disagreed to.
On motion of Mr. Stevenson, the word "deceased" and the word "that" in the 10th line, were stricken out, and the word "who" inserted after the word "persons."
Mr. Van Winkle moved to amend the 30th line by inserting after the word "thereof," the following: "and of all lands hereafter sold for taxes, and purchased by the State of Virginia, if hereafter redeemed or sold to others than the State," which amendment was adopted.
Mr. Battelle moved to amend the 33rd and 34th lines by striking out all after the word "thereof" to the end of the section, and insert "such a proportion of the amount required for the support of free schools therein as shall be ascertained by general laws," which was agreed to.
Mr. Battelle moved to amend the 47th line by striking out the words "the education and maintenance of," and the 48th line by striking out the word "other," which was adopted.
On motion of Mr. Van Winkle, the word "shall" in the 35th line was stricken out, and the word "may" inserted.
And the question then recurring upon the adoption of the report, as amended, it was put and determined in the affirmative.
And, on motion of Mr. Battelle, the said report was referred to the Committee on Revision and Engrossment.
Mr. Harrison then moved that the subject of all forfeited, waste and unappropriated lands be referred to a special committee of seven, and the question being put it was decided in the affirmative.
The President then appointed the following gentlemen said committee:
Messrs. Harrison, Smith, Stevenson of Wood, Brown of Kanawha, Irvine, Hall of Marion, and Van Winkle.
Mr. Dering then moved that the report of the Committee on Taxation and Finance be taken up and made the order of the day for 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Stuart of Doddridge, moved to amend the motion by taking up the report of the Committee on County Organization on its second reading, which was disagreed to and the motion of Mr. Dering adopted.
On motion of Mr. Stuart of Doddridge the President was directed to lay before the two houses of the General Assembly of Virginia, the section of the Constitution fixing the boundaries of the proposed new State, and to request their consent to the formation and erection of the said new State.
The Convention then took a recess.
The Convention re-assembled at 3 o'clock P. M.
The report of the Committee on Taxation and Finance was taken up as the order of the day.
Mr. Dering moved that the 5th, 6th and 7th sections be referred to a special committee of nine.
Mr. Smith remarked that when this report was last before the Convention he thought he had observed a disposition on the part of the house - a liberal kind of disposition to take this subject in hand and endeavor, if possible, to make an arrangement that would be satisfactory to all. But gentlemen say there is no principle in this; it is a question of policy altogether. Now, I ask as a question of policy is it expedient and proper to send home some of us utterly dissatisfied with this arrangement, and especially so when I said before, I am not blaming any of the committee? But is it expedient and proper to send us home where not one from that section of the country has been represented on the committee, and when they ask an opportunity of being heard to some extent on the committee with a view of a fair compromise on a question of policy, not principle at all? Will it tend to soothe them and put them in a better frame of mind to say that we will not grant them that little boon? To say, you shall not have anything? Now, I ask if that is a proper spirit with which to meet us? I hope and trust it will bci the pleasure of this house to give us some little opportunity of being heard on this question. And I can say it was never designed in the slightest degree to impugn the motives or action of the committee. But we are dissatisfied with the results of the work of that committee and we think injustice has been done us, not wittingly but unwittingly, and we ask to be heard; and I ask gentlemen who represent this majority to show a little liberality on this subject.
MR. SINSEL. The gentleman from Ohio seems to think because this Convention has passed once or twice on certain subjects that they have no right to meddle with it afterwards; that what we do once must be like the laws of the Medes and Persians - unalterable. Now what is the fact of the case? The Convention voted twice to have our elections on the 4th Thursday of May, and finally turned round and put it on the 4th Thursday of October. Now, I made no fuss about it. The Convention had a right to do it; and they have a right to change anything else here if they choose. Well, one gentleman spoke of this as no compromise. Now, sir, was the city of Wheeling subscribed (?) to make her roads? She might complain at being taxed to make her own improvements and then being taxed to make improvements in another part of the State. There would be some hardship in that. This compromise proposes to put that on state account and do as much in the other sections of the State on state account. The State of Virginia made our turnpikes through all these counties. Yet in settling the old state debt the people of the southern counties will have to foot that bill; and I only propose now to spend about an equal amount in that section of the State. It does seem to me nothing on earth could be more fair and reasonable than this proposition. She would also be required to transfer that stock, the $500,000, over to the State of Virginia. The State of Virginia then would own it. We are taxed now probably to keep up these roads. There are many counties in the southern part that have none of these turnpikes. This $500,000 was simply offered there to make these roads, and it was to be expended in ten years, so as to put these counties on about an equal footing with the counties in this part of the state. Now, if that is not fair and just I am incapable of deciding what is right.
MR. HERVEY. I hope this motion will not prevail. This report has been adopted by this Convention; and now, sir, after the action of the Convention, deliberately considered and solemnly passed, it is proposed, on the very heels of this Convention, when we are told we would probably have this Constitution completed by Saturday, it is now proposed to recommit this report to another committee and await their action and its submission and its discussion in this body and the action of this body. Where is the propriety of it? If gentlemen desire to incorporate any particular provision in the report, they have a perfect right to propose it and the Convention have a right to incorporate it if they see fit. They have been doing so at every step of our progress; and simply because the Convention did what these gentlemen did not want done, therefore it has become absolutely necessary that a new committee shall be created and a new report brought in! Why, sir, the door is open here for substitutes either for the whole report or for any section of it. Why not reach it in that way? The Convention, of course, will hear and decide on any propositions that may be introduced here; and any gentleman is perfectly competent to introduce any particular feature he sees proper at once, and not retard the action of the Convention on this subject.
MR. RAYMOND. I think if this report is sent back to the committee, it would not be necessary to send the whole report. The first four sections have been adopted and I believe are satisfactory to the Convention. As to the balance of the report, I am opposed to sending back to that committee. I would prefer a committee of nine, with the idea of a compromise being brought about, to report a compromise on the balance of the report.
Mr. Dering's motion was agreed to and the Chair appointed the special committee as follows:
*Messrs. Dering, Smith, Lamb, Ruffner, Harrison, Brumfield, Stevenson of Wood, Sinsel and McCutchen.
*See note Vol. II, page 219.
Mr. Brown of Kanawha moved to amend the 9th section by striking out the word "portion," and inserting the word "proportion," which was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Paxton, the report, as amended, was adopted and laid on the table.
Mr. Battelle then submitted the following resolutions:
"1. Resolved, That at the same time when this Constitution is submitted to the qualified voters of the proposed new State to be voted for or against, an additional section to article ; in the words following:
"No slave shall be brought, or free person of color come, into this State for permanent residence after this Constitution goes into operation; and all children born of slave mothers after the year eighteen hundred and seventy, shall be free - the males at the age of twenty- eight, and the females at the age of eighteen years; and the children of such females shall be free at birth.
Shall be separately submitted to the qualified voters of the proposed new State for their adoption or rejection; and if a majority of the votes cast for and against said additional section, are in favor of its adoption, shall be made a part of article of this Constitution, and not otherwise.
2. Resolved, That the Committee an the Schedule be, and they are hereby instructed to report the necessary provisions for carrying the foregoing resolutions into effect."
Mr. Battelle remarked that the Convention could take what ever action in reference to these resolutions they might think proper. If they chose to make them the order of the day for any fixed future day, as an individual he did not care; but he supposed there were some gentlemen who would wish to discuss this matter, and they might proceed a while at least in that discussion.
Mr. Sinsel moved to lay the resolutions on the table, and make them the order of the day for to-morrow at 10 o'clock in the morning.
MR. HALL of Marion. I move to amend the motion by moving to lay on the table.
MR. BATTELLE. I sincerely hope that this Convention will not. I hope that no such gag rule will be instituted here in this Convention.
MR. STUART of Doddridge. That question is not debatable.
MR. POWELL. On that question I ask the yeas and nays.
MR. VAN WINKLE. I understand that is a privileged motion, to lay on the table without day. That can be made without amendment.
THE PRESIDENT. It is a substitute and will be voted on as such.
MR. HALL of Marion. I design to make the motion merely to accomplish the object.
THE PRESIDENT. It will be regarded as a substitute.
On the motion to thus lay on the table indefinitely the vote resulted:
YEAS - Hall of Mason (President), Brown of Kanawha, Brumfield, Chapman, Carskadon, Dering, Dolly, Hall of Marion, Haymond, Harrison, Hubbs, Irvine, Lamb, Montague, McCutchen, Robinson, Ruffner, Sinsel, Stephenson of Clay, Stuart of Doddridge, Sheets, Smith, Van Winkle, and Warder - 24.
NAYS - Brown of Preston, Brooks, Battelle, Caldwell, Dille, Hervey, Hagar, Hoback, Lauck, Mahon, O'Brien, Parsons, Powell, Parker, Paxton, Pomeroy, Ryan, Simmons, Stevenson of Wood, Stewart of Wirt, Soper, Trainer and Wilson - 23.
So the resolutions were laid on the table.
*On motion of Mr. Van Winkle, the amended report of the Committee on County Organization was taken up on it second reading.
*See note Vol. II, page 219.
Following is the amended report, now taken up on second reading:
1. Every county shall be divided into not less than three nor more than ten townships, laid off as compactly as practicable, having reference to natural boundaries, and containing as nearly as possible an equal number of inhabitants, but not less than four hundred. Each township shall be designated, "the Township of in the County of ", by which name it may sue and be sued.
2. The voters of each township, assembled in stated or special township meeting, shall transact all such business relating exclusively to their township as is herein, or may be by law, required or authorized. They shall annually elect one supervisor, one clerk of the township, one surveyor of roads for each precinct in their township, one overseer of the poor, and such other township officers as may be directed by law. They shall also, every four years elect one justice of the peace; and if the white population of their township exceeds twelve hundred in number, may elect an additional justice, and every two years as many constables as justices. The supervisor or in his absence a voter, chosen by those present, shall pre- side at all township meetings and elections, and the clerk shall act as clerk thereof.
3. The supervisors chosen in the townships of each county shall constitute a board, to be known as "the Supervisors of the County of ," by which name they may sue and be sued and make and use a common seal, and enact ordinances and by-laws. They shall meet statedly at least four times in each year at the court house of their county, and may hold special and adjourned meetings. At their first meeting after the annual township election, and whenever a vacancy may occur they shall elect one of their number president of the board, and appoint a clerk, who shall keep a journal of their proceedings and transact such other business pertaining to his office as may be by them or by law required, and whose compensation they shall fix by ordinance and pay from the county treasury.
4. The board of supervisors of each county, a majority of whom shall be a quorum, shall, under such general regulations as may be prescribed by law, have the superintendence and administration of the internal affairs and fiscal concerns of their county, including the establishment and regulation of roads, public landings, ferries and mills, the granting of ordinary and other licenses, and the laying, collecting and disbursement of the county levies; but all writs of ad quod damnum shall issue from the circuit courts. They shall from time to time appoint the places for holding elections in the several townships of their county, and shall be the judges of the election, qualification and return of their own members and of all county and township officers.
5. The voters of every county shall on the day appointed for electing members of the legislature, whenever it may be necessary, elect a sheriff, prosecuting attorney, surveyor of lands, recorder, one or more assessors, a superintendent of schools, and such other county officers as the legislature may from time to time direct or authorize; the duties of all of whom shall be prescribed and defined as far as practicable by general laws. All the said county officers shall hold their offices for two years, except the sheriff, whose term of office shall be four years. The same person shall not be elected sheriff for two consecutive full terms, nor shall any person who has acted as deputy of any sheriff be elected his successor, nor shall such sheriff act as the deputy of his successor; but the retiring sheriff shall finish all business remaining in his hands at the expiration of his term, for which purpose his commission and official bond shall continue in force, the duties of all the said officers shall be discharged by the incumbents thereof in person or under their superintendence. The recorder, in addition to the duties incident to the recording of deeds and other writings, the recording of inventories and other papers relating to estates; the registering of births, deaths and marriages, and the issuing of marriage licenses, shall have authority, under such regulations as may be prescribed by law, to receive proof of wills and admit them to probate, appoint and qualify personal representatives, guardians, committees and curators, to administer oaths, take acknowledgments of deeds and other writings, and relinquishment of dower.
6. The legislature shall, at their first session, by general laws, provide for carrying into effect, the foregoing provisions of this article. They shall also provide for commissioning such of the officers therein mentioned, as they may deem proper, and may require any class of them to give bond with security for the faithful discharge of the duties of their respective offices, and for accounting for and paying over as required by law, all money which may come to their hands by virtue thereof. They shall further provide for the compensation of the said officers by fees, or from the county treasury; for their removal, in case of misconduct, incompetency or neglect of duty; for filling vacancies, not herein provided for, and for the appointment, when necessary, of deputies and assistants, whose duties and responsibilities shall be prescribed and defined by general laws. When the compensation of an officer is paid from the county treasury, the amount shall be fixed by the board of supervisors, within limits to be ascertained by law; but -no reduction of the compensation of any officer shall take effect during the term for which he was elected.
7. The civil jurisdiction of a justice of the peace shall extend to actions of assumpsit, debt, detinue and trover, when the defendant resides, or, being a non-resident of the State, is found, or has effects or estate within his township or when the cause of action arose therein, and the amount claimed, exclusive of interest, does not exceed one hundred dollars; but a justice of any other township of the same county may issue a summons to the defendant to appear before the justice of the proper township, which may be served by a constable of either township. In case of a vacancy in the office of justice or constable in any township having but one, or of the disability to act of the incumbent, any other justice or constable of the same county may discharge any of the duties of their respective offices within said township. The manner of prosecuting the aforesaid actions and of issuing summonses and executions and of executing and making return of the same shall be prescribed by law, and the legislature may give to justices of the peace and constables such additional civil jurisdiction and powers within their respective townships as may be deemed expedient.
8. Every justice of the peace and constable shall be a conservator of the peace throughout his county, and have such jurisdiction in criminal cases therein as may be prescribed by law. Jurisdiction of all misdemeanors and breaches of the peace, punishable by fine not exceeding ten dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, may be, by law, vested in justices of the peace. The board of supervisors shall designate one or more constables of their respective counties to serve process and levy executions when the sheriff thereof is a party defendant, in a suit instituted therein, or is under any other disability. But in all cases an appeal, writ of error, supersedeas, or certiorari shall lie from the judgment or proceedings of a justice of the peace, recorder, corporation or other inferior court, the circuit court of the county in which the case may be; excepting, however, judgments of justices of the peace in assumpsit, debt, detinue and trover, and for fines, where the amount does not exceed ten dollars; unless, in cases involving freedom or the validity of a law, or the right of a corporation or county to levy tolls or taxes.
9. Either party to a civil suit brought before a justice of the peace, where the value in controversy, or the damages claimed exceeds twenty dollars, and the defendant in such cases of misdemeanor or breach of the peace as may be made by law cognizable by a single justice, when the penalty is imprisonment, or a fine exceeding five dollars, shall be entitled, if demanded, to a trial by six jurors, under such regulations as may be prescribed by law. The board of supervisors may alter the bounds of a township of their county, or erect new townships therein, with the consent of a majority of the voters of each township interested, assembled in stated township meeting, or in a meeting duly called for the purpose subject to the provisions of the first section of this article.
10. No new county shall be formed having an area of less than four hundred and fifty square miles. Nor shall a new county be formed if another county be thereby reduced below that area; or if any territory be thereby taken from a county containing less than four hundred and fifty square miles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will Electronic Records Express affect my work routines?
The fax and secure website options should integrate easily with existing work processes. If your records are already electronic, you will be able to upload files directly instead of printing. If your records are on paper, you can use the website by scanning, instead of photocopying your records or you can fax your records.
Why is the letter with the barcode so important?
The letter with the barcode is important because it helps us link the records or information you send to the applicant's unique disability folder and make any appropriate payment to you. If you do not include the letter with the barcode as the first page, there may be significant delays associating the information with the applicant's electronic disability folder and making payment to you.
How will I know whether my electronic record transmission was successfully received?
When using the secure website, you'll receive an immediate tracking information page which you can print or store electronically for your records. When sending by fax, your fax machine should indicate a successful transmission including the number of pages that were sent.
You may choose to amend your reports by sending new information; however, the original reports you sent will remain part of the electronic file.
Will this change the amount that I am paid for my reports?
No, the compensation will remain the same. However, you may notice resource savings when you send records electronically to Social Security.
How will I know the applicant is giving informed consent to have their records sent electronically?
Social Security complies with all laws and regulations regarding release of medical and school records. Form SSA-827, "Authorization to Disclose Information to the Social Security Administration," which accompanies every request for health and school records from Social Security, contains language that specifically permits electronic processing.
Are the Electronic Records Express options compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act?
Yes, both the online and fax options comply with the goals of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). If used in conjunction with a properly designed and implemented HIPAA plan, these options can add significant value to safeguarding the security of your patient data.
Are the Electronic Records options compliant with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act?
Yes, both the online and fax options comply with the goals of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). These options can add significant value to safeguarding the security of your student data.
How can I send in evidence when my client's case is an electronic case?
You can submit evidence directly to your client's case file by using your office fax or through the Social Security secure Electronic Records Express website. Both of these methods require that you use the specific barcode provided for your client by the state Disability Determination Services (DDS) or the Social Security hearing office that is handling your client's disability claim. For example, if your client's case is at the hearing level, you would contact that hearing office to obtain a barcode for your client.
What hardware or software will I need to use the secure website?
Most common Internet browsers will support the secure website. If you experience issues or difficulties, call the Social Security Electronic Records Express Help Desk at
Are there costs for using the secure website?
No. The government provides this service free of charge.
The website uses 128-bit or higher secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect records submissions to and from Social Security and the Disability Determination Services. Your account is protected by your confidential user ID and password combination.
Which file formats are compatible with the secure website?
The secure website supports the following file formats: .doc, .wpd, .zip, .jpg, .bmp, .txt, .xls, .pdf, .tiff, .tif, .docx, .mdi, .rtf, and .xlsx. We expect to add support for additional formats.
Can anyone use the secure Electronic Records Express website?
An individual must first register to use it. Once registered, you will receive a user ID, a temporary password and the URL for the secure website. The first time you enter the secure website you will need to change your password.
How do I register to use Social Security's secure website?
You can register by contacting your local hearing office or the Professional Relations Officer in your state to obtain a user ID and password. You can also contact Social Security by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at
How do I login to Social Security's secure website?
To login to Social Security's secure website, you must first register by obtaining a user ID and password from your State Professional Relations Officer or from your local hearing office. Once you have obtained a user ID and password, log onto http://eme.ssa.gov.
Is there a maximum submission size that can be sent through the secure website?
Yes, the file size of the submission cannot exceed 50 megabytes.
Do I need to register in order to fax?
No. Once you receive the request letter, simply fax the letter with the records or information requested to the fax number that appears on the letter. The request letter must be the first page of your fax because it has a barcode that will help us associate the information with the applicant's unique disability folder and make any appropriate payment to you.
Yes, faxing is secure under all appropriate privacy rules.
Can I fax evidence using my PC fax software?
Yes. However, the first page for each document you are sending must be the barcode provided to you by the Social Security office or State Disability Determination Services (DDS) that is handling the disability claim. For example, if you are submitting documents for Dr. Jones and Dr. Henry, the first page of Dr. Jones' records must be the barcode and the first page of Dr. Henry's records must be the barcode. You may need a scanner to scan the barcode into your computer.
Is there a maximum number of pages that can be faxed?
Yes, do not fax more than 200 pages.

At the Take Back the American Dream conference Wednesday, strategies and tactics were weaved with moving personal stories at a session on racial profiling with Gaby Pacheco, Rashad Robinson, Jasiri X, and moderator Cathy Montoya.
The panelists described racial profiling as a form of both physical and psychological violence that affects communities of color and, indirectly, communities as a whole. For example, if a hate crime is committed against an undocumented person or if an undocumented woman is raped, then there is almost zero chance that they will report the crime for fear of being deported. This makes communities less safe overall, according to panelists Pacheco and Montoya.
The conversation extended beyond the impact of Trayvon Martin, the Florida youth whose death by gunshot has ignited a national debate on race and "stand your ground" gun laws. Pacheco pointed out that such violence against black and Latino communities happens on a daily basis. The only difference was that their names did not trend on Twitter or hit the front pages of prominent national newspapers. As activists, it is our job to either create our own media or push the mainstream media to tell the stories of people who become victims of racial profiling. It is how we can politicize otherwise unconvinced people to rally to our side.
The Importance of Stories
Each panelist spoke of some type of personal experience with racial profiling. The panelists noted that experience of being stopped and assumed to be undocumented is parallel to the experience of a young black man being stopped by the police. The panelists and the audience both emphasized the commonalities between communities.
As an organizing tactic, Rashad Robinson pointed out that publicizing people's personal stories in the media could move people who weren't already on our side. Robinson also said that progressives needed to start talking to people outside the base through strategies such as building common ground through personal stories.
Audience members also shared their personal stories of racial profiling. Adam, a 17 year-old from Durham, N.C., once questioned a police officer's rationale for profiling him and violating his rights. The officer then told Adam that he had no rights. Montoya, who is of Korean-Latino descent and says that she carries her passport with her everywhere in the South, recounted her experience of a Korean police officer profiling her in Alabama. Jasiri X shared the story of a 13 year-old black boy in Milwaukee who was shot by his 75 year-old white neighbor's house for allegedly robbing the man's house.
Combating History through New Tactics
Every panelist saw storytelling itself as a powerful organizing tactic. Jasiri X brought in the elements of art and culture as important tactics for telling stories. Hip-hop started as a mechanism for social commentary, and progressives can use that as a tool for spreading messages to communities of color about their experiences. Montoya especially emphasized the role of Latino hip-hop artists in the South in bridging the divides between black and Latino youth.
The panel also discussed mobile applications such as the one developed by the Sikh Coalition that can be used to report airport profiling. Websites such as Copwatch can also be used to monitor the behavior of the police, especially towards people of color. Recording a police officer's actions and using social media to draw attention to racial profiling are all strategies that progressives can use to engage people outside the activist community.
The general consensus focused on a desire to engage people outside the progressive community in creative, innovative methods designed for and by the people who are most deeply affected by racial profiling and racist legislation. Empowering communities of color through various organizing tactics and social media can be the solution to a culture that justifies rampant profiling of black and brown youth.

Concerned Women For America Releases Anti-Health Reform Ad
The conservative action group now has a legislative wing becoming active in the 2012 campaign.
Another conservative action group is ready to use its funding and influence in the 2012 election. Concerned Women for America has released an ad attacking health care reform, making it the latest right-wing group to advocate against "Obamacare" this cycle. The new ad, called "Care," is running in seven states, according to the Washington Post, and will cost the group about $6 million.
The 60-second ad from Concerned Women for America features a family physician, Ami Siems, warning that patients may be denied care under the new law and might not be able to choose their own doctor. Siems previously appeared in ads criticizing the health care reform proposal sponsored by another conservative group, Americans for Prosperity, in 2009 when the plan was being considered by Congress.
"Everyone agreed we needed reforms, but this new health care law just isn't fixing things," Siems says. "President Obama promised my patients that they could keep me. But what if because of this new law I can't keep them?"
The spot will run in top presidential battleground states including Iowa, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin. It also will air in Minnesota and New Mexico, two states not considered quite as competitive.

Well, that sure didn't take long! Adams Golf (ADGF) became the second member of the Cheap Stocks 26 Net/Net Index to be acquired.

The indexes allocation to ADGF will remain in cash once the deal has been completed.

Tornado season has gotten off to a deadly beginning. A huge so-called wedge tornado came barreling down around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday evening on Mayflower, Arkansas, with 10 deaths there and six more across the state, said the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management on its website. It's the year's worst tornado outbreak so far, with meteorologists listing 31 tornado reports on Sunday alone.
Amateur and storm-chasing videos helped bring home the horror of the Mayflower tornado, which grew to a half-mile wide and caused destruction along a path reportedly dozens of miles long. The term "wedge" refers to a tornado in which the funnel appears almost as wide on the ground as it is tall. While the biggest damage so far has been reported in Mayflower, twisters also hit Vilonia, Arkansas. Baxter Springs, Kansas also saw a twister, while one person was killed in Keokuk County in Iowa, and another in Quapaw, Oklahoma.
An aeriel drone video of the Arkansas tornado posted by Briam Emfinger, a storm-chaser and photographer for ABC affiliate KATV, was circulating widely online. That video showed showed devastation around Mayflower where some 20 businesses and more than 50 homes have been leveled. The Associated Press reported that state troopers were going through cars, trucks and 18-wheel trucks that were toppled along a two-mile stretch of the Interstate 40 highway.
Basehunters Chasing posted this video of the tornado from the I-40 west of the city.
The twisters hit not far off the anniversaries of the May 20, 2013 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, which killed 24 people, and the May 22, 2011 tornado in Joplin, Missouri, causing the death of at least 162 persons. But Sunday also marked three years since a 122-tornado day that hit Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, which saw 316 fatalities. Forecasters have been warning for several days of a storm hitting the Midwest this weekend, but Monday could see more dangerous weather.
Meteorologist Bill Karins on MSNBC says some 28 million people, from central Illinois southward to Mississippi, stand in the prospective path of severe weather and potentially tornadic activity Monday.
