in the summer of '57 at Poulton-le-Fylde in Lancashire, England, Ian
Donaldson was to become the godfather of Racialist music the world over.
Growing up in nearby Blackpool Ian felt the urge to do something other than conform to the boring and mundane lifestyles that surrounded him. In the early seventies he was drawn to the style and culture of the Skinhead. When he watched his good friend Grinny (John Grinton) play in a local band his heart set on forming his own.
His first group was called Tumbling Dice which played mainly cover versions of the Rolling Stones and The Who. An offer came from a London record label but the rest of the band refused to move to the capital and they disbanded.
It wasn't long before Ian formed another band, but this time he had the added influence of Punk. He had seen the Sex Pistols play their first gig in Manchester and was struck by their attitude and aggression. In early '77 Skrewdriver was formed and Ian, Grinny, Kev McKay and Phil Walmsley ventured to London to set up base near their record label, Chiswick Records. They went about promoting their band by playing regular gigs and with their debut single 'You're So Dumb.' At one gig a fight broke out involving one of the Skrewdriver crew which resulted in Bob Geldof being knocked out on stage. Skrewdriver acquired a reputation for violence and it spelled commercial disaster when a riot erupted at another London venue, this time with influential music business people present, and Skrewdriver lost various big deals and earned themselves a London gig ban at the same time.
From then on it was to be an uphill struggle and although their debut LP was given fair reviews, their Skinhead appearance was not welcomed by the music press and promotion became almost impossible. The band moved to Manchester on the recommendation of Chiswick Records and acquired a strong local following there but, due to their reputation and their change in musical direction, they found themselves dropped by Chiswick. They continued alone, and even produced a classic single 'Built Up, Knocked Down' for local Manchester label TJM, but by the end of '79 Skrewdriver was no more.
in Blackpool Ian became a major figure on the Skinhead scene which saw
his involvement with the National Front and later the British Movement
become a real focus for him.
Skrewdriver Re-formsHe wanted to re-form the band for the NF but he never got the commitment from them that he so dearly needed. So it was in the summer of '82, while back in London, that he was persuaded to re-start the group. He recruited two South London Skinheads on bass and drums and placed an ad. in the music press for a guitarist. It wasn't long before they were rehearsing, and recording was under way with two tracks for the United Skins compilation and two more for the very popular 'Back with a Bang' maxi-single.
The single was well-received but the chattering classes were gossiping that Skrewdriver were a racist band. The press had to wait no longer than the end of the year to have the rumours confirmed. Skrewdriver played regularly at the 100 Club and on stage late in '82 Ian raised his right arm and proclaimed "This one's called 'Tomorrow Belongs To Me.'" The crowd roared and thus began the true legacy of Skrewdriver.
Albert Marriner, to whom 'Sick Society' is dedicated
How the media would have howled and screamed if we had murdered one of them!
was working closely with the National Front who were keen to exploit
band's popularity, seeing it as a great way to recruit members. A
label was set up producing the band's first political tracks. 'White
sent a shock wave throughout the music industry - one paper claimed the
single was "The most evil record of all time." All Skrewdriver's gig
were banned and pressure was placed on any venue with the courage to
them. For the NF, 'White Power' was a great success and they increased
their coverage of the scene, with more bands emerging of the Rock
Communism genre. This was real-life Rock 'n' Roll rebellion, an
movement that was thriving right under the noses of all who had tried
destroy it. Skrewdriver struck a deal with German-based label
and despite bomb threats, government action and music business
the partnership remained strong until Ian's last days.
Skrewdriver produced their second LP Hail the New Dawn in 1984 and while their line-up went through various changes, their popularity grew, not only in Britain but internationally. The NF decided that their coverage in Bulldog magazine was not enough and launched White Noise magazine and an organization to run it.
Martyrs are Made of ThisJust before making Hail the New Dawn Ian was quoted as saying:
'I am not the type of person to creep and crawl to a bunch of weak-kneed, pacifist lefties and two-faced Zionists. One must be honest to people about one's beliefs and especially when the survival of our very race is at stake. I have no doubt that anyone who expounds patriotic beliefs has a little black mark put against his name, and by now I must have a massive black mark near my name. C'est la guerre.'These remarks were to prove prophetic. It seemed as if Ian's hard work was beginning to pay off when he was arrested after a skirmish with a gang of Africans and then found himself sentenced on 11 December 1985 to a 12-month jail-term. Here are some reports of what happened:
|Joe Pearce in Skrewdriver: The First Ten Years, 1987, p. 37
|David Browne in the Sunday Observer
|Garry Bushell in the Sun, 6 March 1986
|Chris Dignan in a Derby local newspaper, 1993
|'Ian and I were sentenced to prison for twelve months. Ian's "crime" was defending himself from attack by a group of blacks who presumably didn't like his hairstyle. Needless to say the police, in their wisdom, refrained from prosecuting the blacks who instigated the attack. My "crime," on the other hand, was daring to report accounts of black attacks, like the one inflicted upon Ian and his friend and co-defendant Des Clarke, in a Young National Front magazine called Bulldog.'
|'Led by Ian Stuart, who was jailed for 12 months in 1986 for a street attack on a Nigerian in the King's Cross area of London, Blood and Honour is planning to tour Holland, Belgium, France, Sweden and the United States later this year.'
|'Stewart, 28 - who changed his name from Donaldson - is serving 12 months in Wayland prison, Norfolk, for attacking a West Indian.'
|'He was jailed for 12 months in 1986 for attacking a Nigerian woman on a London street.'
|Skrewdriver's Blood
and Honour LP was already
recorded but it would be six months before he could hear it again. If
authorities had thought that Ian's imprisonment would halt his progress
they were badly mistaken, for his popularity remained high and he
more mail than the rest of his fellow inmates put together. While in
he wrote an article for National
Front News and a lot of
songs, many of which appeared on the White
Rider LP.
In 1987 White Rider was released and stands perhaps as his greatest work, outstandingly produced and with comparable lyrical content. At the same time as this supreme achievement however he became unhappy with the way the National Front were running things. Ian's feelings at the time are expressed in the song 'The New Boss.' The NF were attempting to censor his lyrics, no doubt in pursuit of the respectability all political parties crave, but which will never be afforded to Nationalist parties by the current media clique unless they disastrously compromise their perception of Jews. At the time the NF leadership dictated that there were to be no "Seig Heils" and no references to "niggers." Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, No Remorse and Skullhead played gigs organized by the NF but were not paid, and Ian also suspected that not all of the money which the NF was making was being spent on the movement. That year he handed in a letter of resignation from both White Noise magazine and the National Front.
The White Noise debacle was yet another setback in a life of so many ups and downs but Ian's resilience was to prove yet again why he was Number One - plus of course there's not many people who can lay claim to having stuck the boot into Iggy Pop. Blood and Honour was formed but this time the organization was to be independent of all political parties and run by people involved in the music scene.
Ian was branching out and decided to form the Klansmen with the intention of encompassing the Rock-a-Billy scene the way Skrewdriver had with Skinheads. The Klansmen drew together various musicians and proved a great success. The project would have gone a lot further had it received the right investment from Rock-o-Rama.
The Jewish Board of Deputies gave Stuart the accolade of "most anti-Semitic man in Britain" and the police seemed determined to stitch him up. He became a cult figure in fashionable Carnaby Street when stores there began to stock his records. It was the police intimidation that proved too much, however, and Ian packed his bags and left for Derbyshire. There he could again play regularly and in a short time had built a large dedicated local following.
Ian had long wanted to experiment with the Skrewdriver sound and create a more polished feel to his music.A meeting with a talented young Rock guitarist and patriot,Stigger,gave him the chance to turn some of these ideas into reality.
became a close friend of Ians as well as the bands lead guitar player
they were to work together right up until Ians death.
Events in Cottbus, GermanyInternationally the band's reputation was growing and Skrewdriver were invited to play all over Europe, and especially Germany, where they had become enormously popular. A concert was arranged in Cottbus, in the former East, to celebrate Germany's unification. Several days before the event Skrewdriver were arrested after a riot erupted in the town. Ian was released but the remainder of the band stayed in jail for over a month, being moved to top security Moat Prison in Berlin. The story was headline news on both sides of the English Channel and, on arrival back in England, Ian set about recording a mini-LP entitled 'Justice for the Cottbus Six.' The rest were released on bail and charges were eventually dropped after two years of stop and start trials.
Ian continued to produce Skrewdriver LP's adding solo compositions to his ventures. The Klansmen and White Diamond were two more bands organized by Stuart intended as distinct projects separate from Skrewdriver. Spreading his influence even further, Ian and Stigger released a full-length CD or two of acoustic classics, Patriotic Ballads.
London, September 1992: 'The Battle of Waterloo'In 1992 it was thought that Blood and Honour's profile needed boosting, so a massive concert was planned. Posters advertising the Waterloo redirection point went up in every major British city, there was newspaper coverage and Ian was given a radio interview which concluded with him being wished well. The night before the gig Ian was glassed in face by a Negro saying "That's your gig over then Nazi" and he lost two teeth in the attack.
The Communists were out in force on the day of the gig but no-one could have forecast how far the police would allow them to go. Around 1,000 Reds gathered to cause trouble, although most Skins had heard by word of mouth that the actual venue was in Eltham and made their way directly there. Thus the Reds massively outnumbered about 200 Skinhead stragglers, mostly Europeans who had come from abroad specially for the gig; several hundred more had been turned back at the ports. The clash was dubbed in the following day's press as "The Battle of Waterloo." But despite all this the concert still took place. In between songs Ian said:
|'You have to do your bit for Britain, some of you in here tonight may not be members of any political party, but you must do your bit for Britain, gather information of all the parties and choose who's right for you, but don't do nothing.'
venue was policed by the British Movement Leader Guard and Ian pulled
one of his best performances since the 100 Club days:
'We, the Leader Guard of the British Movement send our congratulations to you, your fellow National Socialist Skinheads and other comrades that joined in the "Battle of Waterloo." Despite the best efforts of the Red scum that were well-armed, not searched by the Police and allowed to attack as a mob, the gig that they said would never happen went ahead and was a tremendous success.'The following year Ian and the band recorded his and Skrewdriver's last LP, Hail Victory. It was their best offering since Warlord five years before but tragically Ian would not live to see it released. On the night of 23 September 1993 Ian was involved in a car crash that would result in his death the following day, as well as that of friend of the band Boo (Stephen Flint) who died at the crash scene. It was Ian's car but Robert Sherlock was driving, and at the inquest he described how it had felt as if the steering wheel "was 'snapped' from his hand."
Derby Coroner Peter Ashworth concluded:
'We are still no nearer finding out what caused this tragic accident. All we can say is that because of the car's two defects the car became less easy to control. But there must have been some other factor which contributed to the crash, even if Ian had not grabbed the wheel in a way many others in the same situation would have done.'The suggestion is that Ian's car had been tampered with, and although we cannot prove it in our hearts we know Ian was murdered by the State security services. Whatever the origins of his death, it was a tragedy that the Blood and Honour movement has yet to recover from.
Ours and Ian's
is still alive though - across the White world Blood & Honour
The Flame That Never DiesEveryone who ever knew Ian, saw him play live, or has heard his music on tenth generation tapes in every far-flung corner of the globe, will appreciate the contribution he made to the cause of White pride. He sacrificed his life, untempted by money, undaunted by prison and intrepid in the face of violent opposition, because he knew that what he held inside was something more precious than anything on this planet. He held a fire in his heart that burned for the pride and convictions of his race and nation.
What was Ian like as a person? This seems to be something that is seldom addressed in the many tributes to him that have appeared in the years after his death.
Those of us who had the honour to know him can say that he was a genuinely kind and loyal person, often quietly spoken, highly intelligent with a real sense of humour.
Ian never displayed any egotism or arrogance - often he would turn his humour on himself. He always had time for the people around him and would never fail to greet a comrade or say some words to a fan of the band.
As we remember Ian the Political Soldier we should also remember Ian the man.
The information in this article has been drawn from various sources. It was based on the sleeve notes of 'The Flame That Never Dies' double CD commemoration set, released in 1996 by Resistance Records, written by Paul Burnley (No Remorse).

Department of Revenue News Release
March 26, 2009Dept. of Revenue Launches New Boat Registration Form; Changes Will Result in Savings of More Than $57,000
Boat owners will receive a new boat/vessel registration renewal notice early next month.
The new notices will be mailed by the Missouri Department of Revenue on March 31 to boat/vessel owners. The notices are for boat, jet ski and other vessel registrations that will expire June 30.
Karen King Mitchell, director of the department, said the new folded and secured postcard format will be more convenient for customers and will save the state money.
"The old renewal notice was a full sheet of paper mailed in a standard envelope," Mitchell said. "The new form is in a smaller postcard format that will be handier for boat owners and will also result in lower postage costs for the department."
The department is also changing the way it provides "marine pocket cards" to its customers. The cards are issued to boat/vessel owners and must be carried by the owner while the vessel is in operation. Currently, the cards are printed and mailed to owners about one week after their registration has been renewed. Under the new system, the cards will be printed directly on customers' receipts when they renew their registration at a local license office. Customers receiving new boat/vessel titles and registrations will continue to receive the pocket cards by mail.
The new format of the renewal notice will save the department about $14,800, and the change in how pocket cards are distributed will save about $42,600.
More information on boat/vessel titling and registration can be obtained at http://dor.mo.gov/mvdl/motorv/watercraft/.

Bonus Sazerac!
I challenged myself to post 28 Sazeracs in 28 days for the month of February, but I'm not quite done. We've got a few bonus Sazeracs coming up that didn't fit into the month of February.
I'll try some different spirits, try some out at bars, and have some friends make them for me. Hopefully, if I can get my act together we'll have some video.
Sazerac Cocktail.
1 Lump of Sugar. (Simple Syrup)
1 Dash Angostura or Peychana Bitters.
1 Glass Rye or Canadian Club Whisky. (Pampero Anniversario Rum)
Stir well and strain into another glass that has been cooled and rinsed with 1 dash Absinthe (Herbsaint) and squeeze lemon peel on top.
After the initial failure of Sazerac 16 with one of my favorite r(h)ums, I thought I should leave that sort of experimentation to the professionals. And what better source of r(h)um advice than the professionals at Smuggler's Cove?
I'd gone to one of the pre-launch events, had a great time, but had heard that the bar was REALLY busy most nights since it's launch. I do like to work in a busy bar, but visiting friends in the middle of what might be a nightmare service shift always makes me feel a bit weird.
But, when I heard that long time acquaintance, and true professional bartender, Marco Dionysos was joining the ranks at Smuggler's Cove, I thought I should stop by and wish him Bon Voyage.
Uh, right, so again, bars are difficult to take photos in, and I am not all that fond of flash photography. Marco is not a self-illuminating puffer fish.
We mulled a couple rums, and decided Pampero Anniversario might be interesting. Indeed, it turned out to be a much better choice than Barbancourt 15. Still not sure if it is the perfect rum for a Sazerac. I'd be curious if anyone has tried a rum or rhum that they really prefer in a Sazerac Cocktail to Rye or Brandy.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The Obama administration has agreed to relax Medicare's requirements for skilled nursing and home health care, allowing beneficiaries to qualify for benefits even if their conditions are not expected to improve, according to court documents.
A proposed settlement of a national class-action lawsuit, filed Oct. 16 in U.S. District Court in Vermont, says the government will revise its Medicare manual to make benefits available when care would only ``maintain the patient's current condition or ... prevent or slow further deterioration''.
The new language would ensure broader availability of Medicare coverage for skilled nursing, home health and outpatient care and mark a significant departure from longstanding practices that insist on evidence of medical improvement to sustain coverage.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the Medicare program for the elderly and disabled, said the proposed settlement ``clarifies'' existing policy. ``We expect no changes in access to services or costs,'' she said, while declining to elaborate.
Judith Stein, director of the nonprofit Center for Medicare Advocacy that is lead counsel for beneficiaries, said the settlement would cast aside a major barrier to care for thousands with chronic or degenerative conditions from multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries to Parkinson's, cerebral palsy and Lou Gehrig's disease.
Without Medicare benefits, she said patients and their families are often left to choose between the overwhelming cost of nursing home care and the prospect of managing on their own.
``Very often, people go entirely without the care they need or reduce it to an extent that's dangerous to them,'' Stein said.
She could not say how much additional spending the benefit changes could mean for Medicare, which government forecasters expect to top $590 billion this year. The program's financing is among the main topics for deficit reduction talks that are expected to resume in Congress after the Nov. 6 election.
It was not clear when the court would decide whether to approve the agreement. The case was filed in January 2011.

Introduced in 2001 as a third generation update of Lexus's high-performance midsize GS line, the Lexus GS430 was powered by a 4.3-liter V-8 with 300 horsepower. As it spent two years as the brand's most powerful premium sport sedan, it was replaced in 2003 with the even more capable GS460, which housed a 4.6-liter V-8 producing 342 horsepower.
The GS430's 4.3-liter powerhouse, which is the same engine found in the higher-end LS430, produced 325 lb-ft of torque at 3400 rpm. In comparison, the V-6-powered Lexus GS300 produced just 245 horsepower. Performance-enhancing variable valve timing and a sport suspension also set the GS430 apart from its six-cylinder counterpart. Early models came with a five-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed automatic was added in 2006.
When the GS430 was released, it introduced a stylish new design for the GS line. Notable changes included a longer and sleeker cabin, a sloping fastback-style roof, an elegantly curved front end with quad headlights and larger grille, and a trimmer back end with spoiler.
A number of features debuted along with the GS430, including water-repellent door glass, standard side curtain airbags, stainless steel-tipped exhaust pipes, and six-spoke alloy wheels.
Per usual for GS models, the rear drive GS430 was best known as a premium sport sedan blending refined luxury with pure power.
An engine capable of 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque helped the GS430 go from 0-60 mph in an estimated six seconds, putting it on par with four-door European sport sedans like the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series. Variable valve timing kept fuel economy to a respectable EPA-estimated 16/23 mpg city/highway.
In addition to a long list of standard luxury amenities ranging from leather upholstery to dual-zone automatic climate control, the GS430 came equipped with new high-tech features such as collision-sensing door locks and a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel that moved out of the way when the door was opened.
A spacious front cabin and conveniences like a heated driver seat made the Lexus GS430 a comfortable commute vehicle, while five seats and 12.7 cubic feet of cargo space provided enough room to accommodate a family.
Lexus produced the last GS430 in 2007, though the succeeding 2008 GS460 was identical save for a larger 4.6-liter V-8 engine.
The 2007 Lexus GS430 was equipped with the model's standard all-aluminum 4.3-liter V-8 engine and a new six-speed automatic transmission. Most exterior features were carried over from a 2006 redesign, including a longer cabin with fastback profile, sharper creases on the sides and hood, and a short, sporty rear deck.
Standard features on the single-trim 2007 GS430 included 18-inch alloy wheels, wood and leather trim, leather upholstery, 10-way power front seats, a multi-level heated driver seat, heated and powered mirrors, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, audio and cruise steering wheel controls, dual-zone climate control, and a 10-speaker audio system with a 6-disc CD changer. Optional upgrades included a power sunroof, ventilated front seats, touchscreen navigation system, and a premium Mark-Levinson sound system with 5.1 multichannel playback.
Safety equipment on the 2007 model included full-length head curtain airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, antilock disc brakes, child seat anchors, and traction and stability control. Buyers could add an optional pre-collision system that prepared the vehicle for imminent accidents by tightening front seat belts and stiffening suspension.
The spacious front cabin allowed for 37.8 inches of head room and 43.5 inches of leg room. Rear passengers received 37 inches of head room and 36.4 inches of leg room. Available cargo space was 12.7 cubic inches.
The Lexus GS430 debuted in 2001 as a restyled update of the GS400. In addition to a more aggressive 4.3-liter V-8 engine, the GS430 introduced a sportier fastback profile, new front end, bigger grille, and shorter rear deck with new taillights. Other new features in 2001 include standard side curtain airbags, child seat anchors, impact-detecting door locks, HID headlights, steering wheel audio controls, six-spoke alloy wheels, and larger exhaust pipes tipped with stainless steel.
Options at the time included a DVD-based navigation system, premium Mark Levinson audio system, and a wood and leather steering wheel. In 2003, Lexus added several additional options, including heated front seats, a CD changer, and a sunroof. Leather seating became standard.
Lexus restyled its GS series again for 2006. The 2006 GS430 traded its formerly ovoid body for an even more dramatically sloped fastback roof, a more elegantly curved hood, and crisper creases. Standard interior features still included luxuries like leather seats and wood trim on the console, doors, shift knob, and steering wheel. A retracting panel was added to conceal lesser-used controls on the dashboard.
In 2007, an optional active stabilizer was added to reduce body roll on tight corners and a Lexus Link telematics system was made standard. The stability control system was also modified to improve driver control.
For 2008, Lexus changed the sedan's name to the GS460 in conjunction with the addition of a 4.6-liter V-8 engine. However, the vehicle itself remained largely similar to the 2006 and 2007 GS430s.

Community Encouraged to 'Like' Their Favorite Choice
The University of Rochester has selected six finalists from more than 120 international proposals for a sculpture near the Sage Arts Center on River Campus.
Ranging from graceful wooden treelike structures to a neon rendition of Susan B. Anthony's iconic "Failure is impossible" quote, the artists' creations all seek to create an engaging focal point at the intersection of three popular campus walkways.
"Locating permanent outdoor artwork at the northern entrance to River Campus will be an ongoing reminder of the importance of the arts at the University and in the city of Rochester overall," says Rochelle Steiner, a professor at the University of Southern California's Roski School of Fine Arts and guest juror for the competition.
"All of the finalists carefully considered the sitethese are not works that could be located just anywhere," adds Allen Topolski, an associate professor of art who organized the competition and serves on the selection committee. "At the same time, the proposals also capture the unique signature of each artist."
Images of all six proposals and more about each artist's vision are here. Viewers are encouraged to 'like' one or more of their top choices. Renderings of the art installations also will be on display at the River Campus Art and Music Library Gallery in mid-October and viewers will be able to 'like' their favorites through a mobile app.
Steiner, Topolski, and the other faculty, administrators, and students on the selection committee will incorporate the public's response into their final evaluation and expect to announce a winner early in the new year. The chosen artist will receive up to $60,000 for fabrication and delivery of the final piece.
As guest juror of the committee, Steiner brings to the process extensive experience in the selection of public art, along with a deep connection to the University. She earned her master's degree in comparative arts in 1990 and a doctorate in visual and cultural studies in 1996, both from the University of Rochester. In addition to serving as chief curator for the Serpentine Gallery in London and a curator at the Saint Louis Art Museum, Steiner was the director of the Public Art Fund in New York City from 2006 to 2009, where she commissioned 35 public art projects. An accomplished writer, Steiner has authored more than 50 essays and interviews in art catalogues and publications including Parkett, Modern Painters, and Art Review.
"It is an honor to participate in the selection of a new sculpture for campus, particularly given the role the University played in developing my interests in the visual arts," says Steiner.

Statement by Jane Doe Inc. by Mary R. Lauby
Recent controversial comments about rape offer great political fodder for speculation on the upcoming elections. Amid all the discussion of language and politics, let's not forget that beyond the politics are real victims of rape – women, men and children whose lives will be forever changed because of the violence perpetrated against them. When a person is raped and in need of services, support, and safety, our response should be compassionate. The MA Legislature and the US Congress can demonstrate this compassion by fully funding rape crisis services, prevention, education in the Commonwealth and promoting good public policy through the immediate passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization.
Uninformed and callous comments about rape speak to the need for continued education about sexual violence, rape and women's reproductive systems. Nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men in MA experienced sexual violence victimization, in their lifetime, other than rape; it is estimated that more than 12% of Massachusetts women (more than 400,000) have been victims of rape. National studies estimate that 33,000 female rape survivors become pregnant as result of rape. It is scientifically untrue that women can somehow mysteriously stop a pregnancy as a result of rape. And it is offensive and ignorant to suggest that there is legitimate or illegitimate rape.
Such rhetoric reveals a widespread misunderstanding about rape which results in misguided and inappropriate individual and societal responses to victims and, we would argue, demonstrates the need for passage of VAWA and the need for immediate increases in prevention, education and local services for victims of sexual violence. The conversation must shift quickly from a conversation about language and politics to the need to address the current global epidemic of sexual violence. Where is the action that demonstrates that our society does not condone or tolerate rape or other forms of sexual and domestic violence? Where is the funding to meet the needs of victims and prevent further violence?
On an individual level, victims are triggered and re-traumatized by remarks that call into question their experience of rape. Future victims will not come forward to seek services or report the crime for fear of not being believed or seen as "legitimate." Perpetrators and future perpetrators are emboldened by such statements and these social norms are some of the many that must be tackled in order to address the roots of sexual violence and coercion in our society. Others will have wrong information about their options. Survivors deserve victim-centered responses that are sensitive to the pervasiveness of trauma and its impact, and that creates emotional and physical safety.
On the societal level, our efforts to prevent sexual violence are undermined by victim-blaming, insipid myths around which rapes are "legitimate" and other misconceptions rooted in an ideologically driven perspective that does not value equality for women and that disregards victims. We've seen this strategy before – putting forth information with no regard for the truth as a way of confusing people about the issue and their rights as well as requiring that we put energy into disproving a completely bogus, uninformed, and factually incorrect statement. We need practices, policies and funding that both support sexual violence prevention and services and hold offenders accountable
To this end, we call on the Massachusetts Legislature to fully fund sexual assault prevention and services in the Commonwealth. The programs that provide direct support and advocacy to rape victims have experienced significant budget cuts since 2009.
We also call upon Congress to reauthorize the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). For the first time since its creation in 1994, VAWA is being held hostage to partisan political ideology. The entire Massachusetts Congressional delegation supports a strong, bi-partisan VAWA that supports all victims of sexual and domestic violence. We ask them to continue to pressure leaders and colleagues in Washington to pass VAWA immediately in recognition of the continued need to support victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence.
Let us shift the focus from whether rapes are "legitimate" or not to a primary prevention focus on healthy relationships and healthy sexuality in order to prevent sexual violence before it occurs. Ironically, the very discussion that ensued from the firestorm of recent comments is the very evidence that this is needed now.
Let us not be mired in the partisan politics sparked by these recent comments regarding rape. The evidence is clear that our work as social justice advocates against sexual and domestic violence is far from done. Let us focus on solutions: trauma-informed and victim-centered policies and practices, adequate public and private funding, earlier and ongoing education and prevention and sound public policy.

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said Friday there some changes in terms of responsibility on his coaching staff, but declined comment on whether he could conceivably lose a coach to the Raiders.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson said Thursday he was still considering coaches outside the organization for the still-vacant position of defensive coordinator, and two names of interest have been Packers assistant head coach and inside linebackers coach Winston Moss and defensive backs coach Darren Perry.
Asked if the Raiders had expressed interest in either man, McCarthy said, "I'm not going to comment on speculation. Our coaching staff is intact and I'm glad for it."
Jackson has already been blocked in an attempt to speak with Jets defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman about the position. Green Bay has blocked candidates in the past, most notably a chance for quarterbacks coach Tom Clements to interview with the Bears to become offensive coordinator.
Moss would seemingly be the more likely candidate than Perry because he would be more willing to come to a team that already has a defense and a set philosophy in place for a chance to become a coordinator. He has interviewed with Al Davis before and spoke glowingly of the owner and his roots as a Raiders player.
UPDATE: The Raiders have announced the signing of Routt on Raiders.com
Still no confirmation from the Raiders on the signing of Stanford Routt, but the cornerback took it upon himself to make the announcement through a publicist.
Routt even confirmed the financial package _ $31.5 million over there years with $20 million guaranteed.
"It's a great feeling to go back to a place you're familiar with and not have to deal with the unkowns and uncertainties," Routt said of his extension. "But the work has just begun; we have a tough schedule this year. My parents always taught me `finish what you start.' "

NEW YORK (AP) – The owner of KFC and Pizza Hut is taking its fast-food menus to the lesser-known regions of China, with plans to set up shop in smaller cities throughout the key market.
After expanding in China's biggest cities in recent years, Yum Brands Inc. is focusing on populating the country's less urbanized areas. Building that infrastructure in those outposts of the developing nation will give it the kind of advantage that McDonald's established decades ago in the U.S., CEO David Novak said at the company's investor conference Thursday.
Yum, which also owns Taco Bell in the United States, is already the biggest Western fast-food chain in China, with about 5,400 locations, compared with 1,600 for McDonald's. The nation's booming economy has been a boon for Yum, helping its profits increase at least 10 percent over the last several years. But with competition intensifying and economic growth slowing, Yum has hit a snag as well, with investors fearing its brands could be losing their luster.
Last week, Yum said it expects a key sales figure to fall 4 percent in China in the fourth quarter, marking its first decline since 2009. A year earlier, sales at established restaurants had surged 21 percent. The company's stock dropped 10 percent after the announcement.
Also pressuring results in China are the company's rising labor and rental costs in big cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. As a result, the company said it would be more selective about expansion in such metropolitan areas.
But executives noted that there is still plenty of room for growth in smaller cities, with the Chinese government investing heavily in transportation infrastructure. While Yum has nine restaurants for every 1 million people in larger cities, it has just two per million people in smaller cities.
Within the first three years of opening, the company noted that new restaurants in smaller cities bring in annual sales of about $1.4 million to $1.5 million, showing there's an appetite for its fried chicken and pizza even less urbanized areas of China.
"We're only on the ground floor of China's development opportunity," said Weiwei Chen, Yum's chief financial officer of China.
In 2013, Yum plans to build 700 restaurants in China. This year, the company had predicted it would build 650 but ended up building more than 800.
To cultivate loyalty amid intensifying competition, Yum is working to cater to local tastes. For example, the company introduced rice as a side dish in KFC. Next year, it plans to extend the line with premium rice offerings.
Although KFC accounts for the bulk of its business in China, Pizza Hut is expected to play a bigger role in the coming year with the number of openings next year to double to 220. That's about the same number of restaurants McDonald's is expected to build in the country, Chen noted.
Part of the pizza chain's growth will be fueled by its expanding delivery service. The company noted that its name for the service translates to "Must Win Homes Fast Delivery" in Chinese- and does not include the word "pizza," which is not as widely eaten in the country as in the U.S. Food other than pizza – fried shrimp, soups, steak – accounts for about half of sales at Pizza Huts in China.
In addition to its flagship U.S. brands, Yum has two smaller Chinese food chains – East Dawning and Little Sheep. Chen noted those chains are important to the company because "the Chinese consumer will always eat more Chinese food than Western food."
Overall, Yum, based in Louisville, Ky., expects sales at restaurants open at least a year to grow in the mid-single digits in China for 2013. Growth is expected to be softer in the first half of the year, and pick up in the second half.
Beyond China, Yum sees India as its next big region for growth. It also noted that it also has a bigger presence than McDonald's in other developing nations, such as South Africa. And about half its operating profits now come from emerging markets, compared with 40 percent in 2009.
Yum's stock was up $1.08 at $66.98 in afternoon trading.

Bailey House CEO Gina Quattrochi speaking at the World AIDS Day rally in Times Square on 12/1/13.
We've all heard the phrases "get to zero", "an AIDS-free generation", "test and treat" – they are, I fear, hopeful but empty promises. I say that because in the last two weeks, I have attended three different high-level HIV/AIDS symposiums and not one speaker – several of whom are globally famous – talked about what actually drives the epidemic.
I've been waiting and hoping to hear the two most important words in the HIV/AIDS lexicon – "structural drivers" – because until we do, HIV incidence will continue to rise. Volumes of research show that what fuels the epidemic is not really sex and drugs or individual behavior but rather the "perfect storm" of poverty, homelessness, racism, homophobia, sexism, intimate partner violence and criminalization of drug use that set the stage for risk behavior.
While "structural drivers" may never be popular enough to be on an eye catching bus shelter poster, shouldn't our leaders at least understand the concepts and say the words? Isn't it time for us to realize that the job is even bigger than we thought? Addressing poverty and the rest may seem overwhelming but I'd say it's time.
Putting condoms in the hands of young adults, without addressing family poverty and unstable housing, will no longer do. Telling young women to insist on safer sex without addressing intimate partner violence won't do either. Neither will allowing NYC's homeless number to grow as it has for the last 12 years. End AIDS? Maybe, but not until we are willing to let the "structural drivers" out of the closet and roll off our tongues. No one ever promised it would be easy.

My obstetrician was explaining the mechanics of birth. Effacement. Dilation. Transition. His words danced past my ears without sinking in, as surreal and new as the sound of my baby's heartbeat had been moments before. My husband interrupted. "But what does labor feel like? I heard it's like trying to pass a grapefruit through your, um, rectum." The doctor smiled. "More like a watermelon, actually."
Eight months ripe, I stared at them in horror from my perch on the exam table, two men for whom the discussion was purely, shall we say, speculative. Then I pressed my legs together. Tightly.
Like many women, I was scared witless of labor -- that is, until I went through it (three times now). Then I discovered that although it hurt like hell, I loved giving birth.
I got a rush from the no-turning-back-now certainty of my water breaking. I marveled at the raw power of muscles I'd never known I had. I felt like the center of the universe. When life finally popped out from between my legs, slippery red-blue and as startling as a glimpse of a shooting star, I was plumb awestruck to realize that the previous nine months of mystery and wonder really did end in a baby.
Later, lying in my hospital bed surrounded by flowers, the memory of a long, sharp contraction flashed across my consciousness like a phantom limb. "I can't believe I did that," I thought. That's when a whole new set of feelings kicked in: Amazement, that a nonjock like me had aced a grueling marathon. Pride, that I'd required no medication that might have endangered my baby. And a sense of kinship, corny yet cosmic, with every woman who had ever given birth.
Of course, loving labor does not mean having a pain-free delivery. Or a drug-free one, for that matter. You might have a hospital cesarean or a home birth, push just twice or endure a 24-hour saga. The particulars vary, but there are certain common denominators that seem to strongly shape a woman's attitude toward her birth experience, experts say. And sure enough, I found that they made all the difference in mine.
I Expected Pain But Wasn't Intimidated By It
"Most first-time moms don't have a clue how much labor will hurt," says Robin DiMatteo, head of the psychology department at the University of California at Riverside. Women often shield pregnant friends from the sorry truth, she says. Or a fearful expectant mother may belong to the "I'll just ask them to knock me out" school, shielding herself from scary information. However, lack of knowledge about pain is precisely what ends up terrifying women most, says DiMatteo. "They're suddenly surprised by the intensity of the pain and convinced it means something's wrong, which makes them more anxious, which leads to an increased perception of pain. It's a vicious cycle."
That's why familiarity often breeds contentment for second-time mothers. "I was less frightened and a lot more fascinated by what my body was doing," recalls Darlene Rachlow of Fort Wayne, Indiana, the mother of 1- and 3-year-old boys.
We're also the victims (or beneficiaries) of our cultural expectations. Mothers' and sisters' stories, ethnic traditions, and general trends all shape our attitudes about what labor "should" be like. In a study comparing women's expectations of labor pain in the United States and Holland, for instance, American women were much more likely to anticipate a need for medication -- and, indeed, ended up being more likely to receive it.
The bottom line: Labor hurts -- maybe worse than anything else you'll ever experience in your life. But by girding yourself for this reality and coming to terms with what you expect and why, you'll be in the most receptive frame of mind to confront that pain.
I Was Equipped to Deal With the Pain
As silly as I felt talking about focal points and cleansing breaths with ten other waddling women in my childbirth class, the information helped me understand what I would experience. But not all pain-management instruction is alike, warns Mae Shoemaker, president of the International Childbirth Education Association in Minneapolis. Credentials are less important, she believes, than the teacher's experience, teaching style, and general approach to labor and delivery. "Think about what kind of birth experience you want. Interview several instructors, just as you would a new doctor or a contractor," Shoemaker suggests. One red flag: teachers who soft-pedal. If they refer to labor pain as "discomfort," run.
Which method is best? That depends on the amount of control you want and your philosophy about birth. But don't be afraid to incorporate your own personal pain-management strategies. I depended mightily on music -- 12 hours of the Grateful Dead for my son and 10 1/2 hours of Neil Young for my daughter.
I Felt in Control Yet was Open-Minded
When my obstetrician asked if I had any particular expectations about my delivery, I took the opportunity to unload my fears of needles, drugs, and being confined to a bed. When I went into labor (and there were no complications), he arranged for me to have no IV and no restrictions on my movement.
This lack of unnecessary medical intervention made me feel more in charge. Researcher DiMatteo found that two types of control were important to feeling more fulfilled by childbirth: self-control (the kind you get through pain-management techniques) and situational control (having a degree of autonomy about everything from your body positions to whether you get to wear your glasses to watch the birth).
Some current obstetric trends are providing women with more control, too. These include homey labor-delivery-recovery rooms and birthing centers, the resurgence of midwives and doulas (women experienced in labor and delivery who provide support, but no medical aid), and certain medical practices, such as allowing women to follow their natural urges to push.
As helpful as choice and control are, they come with a caveat: A woman must be flexible enough to alter her plans as conditions demand. After all, giving birth is nothing if not unpredictable.
I Had Terrific Support
In recent years, the burden of support has fallen on fathers-to-be, but neither you nor your partner should feel bad if he isn't the best candidate for coach, stresses Penny Simkin, a Seattle childbirth educator. "It's not everyone's shtick to provide the constant, capable, upbeat support a laboring woman needs," she says.
Some women turn to a friend, their own mother, or a doula. As for myself, I had terrific support from my husband, as well as my labor nurse, who stayed an hour past the end of her shift to help.
I felt comfortable and confident. And, strange as it sounds, I kept thinking about pregnant women in war-torn Bosnia and in Jane Austen's England. Women have always given birth, I figured, and with far less knowledge and professional expertise than I was privy to. I knew I wouldn't die and reasoned that wherever my body took me, the journey wouldn't last forever.
Certainly, good preparation and support created the right conditions for such thoughts. But I also credit something less documented in the medical literature: faith in myself. When it comes right down to it, labor is a bit like attempting to scale a mountain or write a novel. Before you start, the task seems monumental. But something inside you trusts that you can do it, so you take a step, write a word -- or power through your first contraction. And after that, you start to believe in your ability to keep going.
No, you can't guarantee a perfect, easy delivery any more than you can request a boy or a girl. But it is possible to go into the experience with optimism, and perhaps to come out of it feeling that way, too. It just takes a little advance planning and a willingness to surrender to the miraculous normalcy of the event. Try it. You might like it.

Counteracting war media apathy
Yet another documentary casts the war in Iraq as the design of a right- wing conspiracy
By Seth J. Bookey
In a year that has brought us Fahrenheit 9/11, Control Room, and The Corporation, a week after the Republican National Convention we now have Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire. Of these sorts of documentaries, this is the one you absolutely have to see, and bring at least one friend along.
Hijacking Catastrophe succinctly and convincingly outlines the plans of radical conservatives in the Bush administration to become the New Rome in the successor to the American Century.
Is this a paranoid leftist claim? Well, a cursory look at todays headlines about how the administration has trashed our foreign policy and longstanding international agreements bears out the films thesisthat the U.S. wants to pursue an unrestrained military doctrine overseas while promoting fear and ignoring social problems at home.
Hijacking Catastrophe shows this policys roots in the first Bush administration, when the Soviet Union collapsed, giving the U.S. unchallenged superpower status. Clintons two presidential victories put this bunch on hold for eight years, but with Ws ascension to the presidency, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitzs neo-conservative doctrine of global domination via unilateral force became a policy reality, starting with Afghanistan and followed by our invasion of Iraq last year.
The film trots out a number of venerable liberal commentators, from Noam Chomsky and Norman Mailer to a Pentagon whistleblower, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowsky, who witnessed how George W. Bushs men used sophisticated propaganda that manipulated the tragedies of September 11, 2001 into a military campaign ratified by the publics fear.
The documentary also goes beyond mere Bush-bashing, pointing out how an administration full of men who never served in the military has sent others out to do their dirty work. Another truly scary specterhow overspending on arms while ignoring a huge debt puts the entire nations future at risk, as civil liberties and legal protections are threatened by the Patriot Act.
The film is also on sale now as a DVD release, with extended interviews and other features. A visit to hijackingcatastrope.com also gives tips on how to put the DVD to work with a wider audience, at house or dorm parties. Party on.

I realize that the "tri-fold" is going away. some day. But in the meantime, it would be very helpful if more characters were displayed in the title (middle column.) As it is, even if I size up my window, there is not enough of many titles for me to see what the resource is about. I have to click on it to see what shows up in the third column.

The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is considering a policy that would create tobacco-free areas at city-run facilities.
The department is looking to eliminate the use of tobacco products -- that includes cigarettes as well as smokeless products -- in areas such as playgrounds, tennis courts, ball diamonds, basketball courts and youth-sports zones.
Officials with recreation and parks, along with Columbus Public Health, have sent a survey to tens of thousands of people and have posted the questionnaire on their individual websites. The survey also was sent to area commissions and civic groups.
"It's just our attempt to educate people as to what's the right and healthy thing to do for the community," said Steve Aumiller, an assistant director with recreation and parks.
The survey will help determine where appropriate restrictions should take place, Aumiller said.
Smoking already is prohibited in shelter houses and baseball dugouts but not in open-air picnic shelters.
In some places, such as Berliner Park, smoking, chewing tobacco and sunflower seeds are banned because of the potential damage to new artificial infields, Aumiller said.
Unlike the statewide smoking ban, the tobacco-free rules would not be codified in city law.
Rather, they would be self-enforced, meaning city workers would try to encourage park-goers to obey the rules, but violators would not face any penalties, Aumiller said.
"It's more of an awareness campaign," he said.
Survey results will be collected at the end of January and a recommendation will be made to the Columbus Recreation and Parks Commission in the spring.
The department will ask for a non-binding resolution of support from City Council.
Aumiller said pro-smoking forces likely will disagree with any decision that limits tobacco use in wide-open spaces, but the potential for new rules is based on health, safety and sanitary considerations.
"We just think it's the right direction to go," he said.
Such a move wouldn't be unprecedented in central Ohio.
The city of Powell in October passed legislation creating tobacco-free zones in its parks. No one can smoke or use smokeless tobacco within 50 feet of designated zones, such as playgrounds, restrooms and shelter houses.
Powell City Manager Steve Lutz said the ban is enforceable, but he doesn't see it being a big issue in Powell.
"This legislation will be enforced on a complaint basis," Lutz said.
The tobacco-free zones conceivably could affect the city's dog parks.
That's good news to Eugene Shannon, who took his sheltie out for a stroll last week at the Godown Dog Park on the Northwest Side. He said cigarette smoke is bothersome.
"I don't know if it affects dogs, but it affects human beings," said Shannon, who said he would consider taking the survey.
Terri Leist, Columbus assistant director of recreation and parks, said in the case of the dog park, the city would have to work on a policy with the city of Worthington, which is a partner in the facility.
"That's something we'd have to work out," Leist said.
"We're not there yet," she said, adding the city has similar arrangements at other parks.

Hi Maki,
Good day! I was wondering if you could share how you make ponzu sauce. I really enjoy tasting the ponzu from the Japanese restaurants. Tried making my own from a recipe I was given and did not care for the taste too much. It tasted quite different from the ones I have had at the restaurants.
Do you actually make your own or do you buy the pre made bottles from the grocery store. If so, could you share which brand you actually buy?
Ponzu sauce is very easy to make, though to get an 'authentic' flavor it's a bit difficult. But anyway the basic formula is:
- 7 Tbs. soy sauce with a big handful of katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and a piece of konbu soaked in it and strained out, or even better, Japanese essence
- 5 Tbs. vinegar (rice vinegar is standard, but you could use other vinegars, especially fruity ones) or a mix of vinegar and citrus juice
- 3 Tbs. mirin
Combine and ideally let rest for a few hours before using. You can just mix this in the same proportions and store it in a bottle (in the fridge).
What gives it that citrusy flavor however is citrus juice. The problem is that it's difficult to get a hold of the actual citrus that is usually used, like yuzu, kaposu, daidai, etc. But lemon is fine, and lime gives it an interesting twist.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Great! Thanks a lot! Will have to try this soon.
