We moved two sapling olive trees from Houston over to the Rock Castle and planted them in the terrace facing Skyline. Now, to keep the deer away. Any ideas?
It is mountain laurel blossoming time.
Last several days have been hot, steamy, and rainy. Finally a cool front moved in this morning. I went out for a short walk. Pleasant and no mosquitos. Shot some wild flowers.

Killer Mike Says Kamala's Race Less Important Than Progressiveness in 2024
Mike says Dems would be wise to stop worrying about how to frame Harris as a candidate 4 years from now, and focus on the present. He also feels it's clear a progressive agenda -- as championed by his fave candidate, Bernie Sanders -- is actually needed and more widely supported than Dems think. … [Read more...] about Killer Mike Says Kamala's Race Less Important Than Progressiveness in 2024

When he wakes up in the morning, it is raining. Andrews arrives to fetch me for the march at 10 a.m. As I hop into his truck, he says, a little miserably, "If there's no one there, we can all just sit around and talk about how pathetic this country is." In the truck's backseat is a khaki-colored AR-15 semiautomatic; it matches the one his wife had. Once we reach the park where the march is due to start, there are two old white guys under a pavilion taking shelter from the storm. One, I learn, is a 67-year-old Army vet wearing an N.R.A. cap and a Colt Commander pistol on his hip. The other is a former corporal of the artillery with an assault rifle slung across his shoulder, reading aloud from a pocket Constitution. … [Read more...] about The Oath Keeper Who Wants to Arm Black Lives Matter
We had spent much of the weekend going back and forth about using nonviolence to confront the right. Clanton had been adamant: Showing up unarmed and unprepared to protest people who were willing to hurt others was simply too risky. While peaceful demonstration might serve to dispel antifa's critics, Clanton says he isn't interested in giving up his safety, or that of his friends, to seize the moral high ground, which he dismisses as a notion created by the "narrative class." Nor does he put much stock in the right's high-minded assertion that it's fighting for free speech. "Was [Yiannopoulos coming to Berkeley] defensible in terms of free speech? It is an open question," he says. "But what is not defensible is outing undocumented students in a way that, if not directly advocating, suggests or sort of incites violence against them." Lou is more direct: "Free speech is being used to [cover for] a very violent message. … [Read more...] about Antifa on Trial: How a College Professor Joined the Left's Radical Ranks

Shri Jadavekar said, unlike other countries, India has multiple favourable destinations for shooting. Hence, we need to promote 'Shoot in India', stated the Minister. In the context of Film Bazaar, the Union Minister said, film is not only a source of entertainment, but also a big market. "Human being is an imaginative being; films which appeal to the imagination make us laugh, cry and make us one, united in the story. If the story is told well, the film will become popular."

Long before President Trump deemed the press the "enemy of the people," Matt Shea was refusing to speak with the media and airing his concern over conspiracy theories like FEMA camps with InfoWars' Alex Jones. Shea also organized the Spokane chapter of the anti-Muslim ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as a hate group. And for the past few summers, Shea has spoken at a secretive religious community run by a man who was a foundational figure in the Christian Identity movement, which, according to the Anti-Defamation League, believes white Europeans to be the lost tribes of Israel and considers Jews to be the offspring of Eve and Satan. … [Read more...] about Something's Brewing in the Deep Red West

www.franchiseek.com has just launched a new franchise finance section to complement its business and franchise website.
We are looking for a global bank to work with us in providing international finance to both franchisees and franchisers. Can anyone advise me on who I should be speaking to?
YES I can help. It would help if i knew your first name.


We often receive positive feedback from our members. This one made us sit up because of the lucidity and pride with which Sophie told us about the results she has achieved so far.
Not only did she lose 60 lbs in 12 months, she more importantly learnt a method that will no doubt stay with her even after the expiry of her subscription to our meal plans for intelligent weight loss.
We decided to publish it to encourage others to achieve their goals by following her example.
Thanks to Sophie for having shared her experience with us.
I just wanted to share my experience with the weight loss meal plan.
I signed up for it on January 9, 2012. I lost about 60 lbs in one year, and that too, gradually. This meal plan has really helped me change my eating habits.
Of course, not only do I consume fewer calories, but I have also changed the way I eat.
Earlier, I very rarely ate breakfast, had a light lunch and was so ravenous when I returned home that I practically ate a meal before dinner, and after a good dinner I tucked into snacks in the evening.
With your meal plan, I learnt to reverse all that and I think this is what really made the difference.
The menus you offer are very good, flexible and varied. I got into the habit of cooking more often, which was necessary, as I must admit that they require some preparation. This is not necessarily a bad thing because I find that nowadays people don't cook enough and buy lots of ready-to-eat meals. These often contain more sugar, salt or fat, which is not really ideal.
I have now almost reached a healthy weight and I'm pretty proud of it. However, I'm still following your meal plan, but with a little less zeal than before. It makes me feel secure to have a guide.
Anyway, I think that your approach is excellent. It's not a diet, but rather a method that teaches us to correctly balance what we eat in a day and make good food choices.

Jim Kirchdorfer Receives the Perry Dye Service Award
The Perry Dye Service Award is presented periodically by the Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA) to recognize a member who has unselfishly contributed above and beyond �the call of duty� to make positive changes in the Association. This award was presented to Jim Kirchdorfer at the summer meeting.
Jim started his career in 1962 by establishing Irrigation Supply Co. (ISCO) in the same location as his father�s hardware store. The business was started as a supply house for golf course irrigation systems. Jim also had a contracting company named Kirchdorfer Irrigation. Jim�s companies furnished, designed and installed the first automatic golf course irrigation system in the state of Kentucky.
Jim was also a pioneer with HDPE corrugated drainpipe. In the 1960s, the company sold the first truckload of 4-inch ADS pipe ever shipped. Soon after, ISCO entered the water and sewer business. In 1975, the company began selling HDPE solid wall pipe and fittings, becoming one of the first companies nationwide to begin promoting HDPE pipe for water, sewer and industrial applications. Today, the company, now known as ISCO Industries, is the largest supplier of HDPE pipe, fittings and fusion equipment in North America. ISCO has 20 locations and 200 employees dedicated exclusively to the HDPE piping business.
Jim was one of the original members of GCBAA, joining a handful of other pioneers at the Washington Press Club for the first formal meeting. Throughout the past 35 years, Jim has been a promoter and recruiter for the Association, urging all of the premier companies in the industry to, not only join, but also actively participate in the Association. He served on virtually every committee through the formative years of the Association and that service culminated with his term as president from 1994-1996.
Since the completion of his presidency, Jim has continued to serve the organization in many ways. He was instrumental in setting up the Golf Course Builders Foundation and has sponsored several of their most successful Sticks for Kids Programs throughout the years. He served on the first Foundation Board of Directors and continues to serve on the Board of Governors for their Professional Certification Program, a program that he was instrumental in establishing during his term as president.

Did Dr. Phil just spoil Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's 2nd wedding date?
June 24, 2019, 10:06 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By Gina Vivinetto
Whoops! Did Dr. Phil let the cat out of the bag?
The talk-show therapist may have accidentally revealed the date of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's second wedding ceremony in a playful comment he made on Instagram.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBco5yBwsn
When the "Game of Thrones" star, 23, posted a sweet pic of her and her new groom, 29, about to kiss in front of the Eiffel Tower over the weekend, Dr. Phil, 68, took to the comments to tease the lovebirds.
"Easy now! 1 week to go! Ha! See you at the wedding!" he wrote.

Within no time, fans of the couple immediately began ribbing the daytime host for ruining their big surprise.
"Spoiler alert," wrote one.
"Oh no, Dr. Phil. Ssshhh. Congratulations on your leaked Paris wedding, Jonas & Turner," chimed in another.

Others were flummoxed at how the sexagenarian TV personality landed an invite in the first place.
"They invited Dr. Phil?!" asked one.
Perhaps they missed Turner's candid podcast interview with Dr. Phil in April? Or the Jonas Brothers' joint interview with him earlier this month?
Some were reminded of how Diplo spoiled the surprise of the pair's first wedding ceremony when he shared videos of it on his Instagram live feed.
"HAHA When Dr. Phil Blows Up Your Spot!! Damn these two can't catch a break keeping a secret between him & Diplo ... How in the world did they keep the Jo Bros Coming Back secret for so long?!" wrote one of Turner's followers.

Turner and Jonas tied the knot in May in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas after the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. In true Vegas fashion, the wedding was performed by an Elvis impersonator.
The couple, who revealed their engagement in October 2017, has reportedly always planned to follow up with a more formal ceremony in Paris. Now, it looks like as if that may soon happen.
Meanwhile, Dr. Phil's hardly the only celebrity traveling to Paris to toast the pair.

On Monday, Jonas' brother, Nick Jonas, 26, and his new bride, Priyanka Chopra, 36, revealed they were already in the French capital when they shared a photo of themselves enjoying a leisurely boat ride along the Seine.
"The city of love," Nick wrote.
Here's hoping the rest of Joe and Sophie's wedding plans go without a hitch!

When you were not a Christian, you could listen to any song that you came across being played, in any radio station. However, after converting into a Christian you may need to be more careful on the songs that you listen to. This does not mean that some songs are bad, but to nurture your stand as a Christian, you should feed your mind, soul and heart with the right type of music collection. Some of the secular songs you probably would love to listen to may not meet the standard, which God has set in the bible concerning what Christians should listen to. Below are reasons why Christians should listen to Christian music.
One of the obvious reasons Christian should not listen to any music is probably to watch what they feed their mind with. People are what they feed on. In case you allow your mind to be filled with garbage through listening to dirty music and watching dirty movies, you will only think about that which you listen to and act just like it. If you take time to listen to Christian music, you will be filling your heart and mind with the word of God. You will also find it very easy to understand and memorize scripture especially if you listen to worship music that is based on the word.
Of course I have heard people argue that listening to gospel music is not as fun as listening to the secular music. This could be true if they base their argument with the traditional Christian music scene. However, today you can listen to some amazing Christian groups, singers and musicians that are better than or as good as the secular music.
People who listen to gospel music in the family friendly radio always have the Holy Spirit and word of God with them. The music helps them put the word of God and speech in their hearts. The song lyric dwells in their hearts throughout the day. Also, the inspiring word of God is set permanently in their hearts.
Very many people confess having been changed by listening to the word of God ministered through music. They had been going through struggles when luckily they come across one of the free online radio stations playing a song that directly speaks to their lives. The song personally ministers into their hearts. By simply listening to inspiring and Godly music, their life takes a turn forever.
To the older Christians, listening to gospel music can help reduce anxiety about death, and enhance life satisfaction, sense of control in their lives, and enhance self esteem. These songs also soothe them when they are feeling depressed, angry, stressed, or hopeless.
The above are reasons why Christians should listen to Christian music. In most cases, the temptation to listen to secular music is high. However, you can ensure that you only listen to good Christian songs by tuning in to Christian radio stations that play great gospel music.

No matter how much you want that poetic streak in your soul to express to your sweetheart how much you love her, the reality remains a person can need to rely on external resources to perform job for you personally personally. With your anniversary just close to the corner, is actually very time to start scouting for gifting ideas that justify your feelings for your partner.
It would be a great show by the way, but things went down the tubes on approach back towards the motel where I was staying. Has been dark, but the lights on my car kept getting dimmer and dimmer until finally everything just stopped. This, I had not counted entirely on. I was able to call the road service and also tow truck came to get me along with the car in the couple of hours.
Aside from those being the good points to Xmas how to find most, increasing your the not to good points too. The crowds, long queues and traffic quickly turn what should are a fun outing into a nightmare grocery shopping. To make things a little easier for you, here are many Christmas present ideas so you might think in.
Also, when they want to step their ticket business up higher, they can launch websites for one. Ticketmaster and Ticketworld are an illustration showing such joint partnership. They can create their website around buyer usability, more options in tickets, prices, rewards and and much more. If these and more are the website's features, ticket buyers are insured. Quite often people prefer to use the internet tickets so a website is of great benefit to owners'.
Think about the difference.whose being promoted members? Is it a great Program? I really hope so most. but don't hit me, the prospect, with it initially. Treat a prospect like the first Date. On your first date with a good looking young lady, does rod Stewart tour dates she pay for dinner, does she get a very posh restaurant meal, does she pay for the theater tickets, Concert Tickets etc.?
Those little flowers are another tyoe of the Guideline Reciprocity. When they hand someone a flower, the body's subconsciously for you to feel responsible.
So far I exactly what my husband wants, what my niece wants and kind from the my kids might want. And at least I target my friend concert tickets her gift already.

MacKenzie Furniture is a member of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce. It was named the Northern View Appliance Store of the Year.
Rob Eby jumped at the chance to join his parents in their furniture business. After working in Vancouver for a year and a half, returning home to Prince Rupert was a pleasant and welcome change. Rob has been operating MacKenzie Furniture since 1996 and still feels blessed to be able to do what he loves every single day.

It has weathered ups and downs in the economy, technology advances and many other things that can sometimes be challenging for a small business.

Rob likes spending time outdoors when he's not at work, and of course there is a lot of outdoors to enjoy in Prince Rupert. He often gets his dose of nature while running, and one of his favourite places to run is Rushbrook trail. " Once you're on the trail the city is left behind," he says. Family time is also important and Rob makes lots of time for his when he isn't working.

Gorkha community has served the nation in difficult times: Dr Jitendra Singh
By Indian Gorkha News Desk • 12:05 PM • Gorkhas in India National northeast gorkhas northeast live news OBC Other Backward Caste (OBC) West Bengal • Comments : 0
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports, MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh has said that the Gorkha community has served the nation in most difficult times, through thick and thin, and the stories of their bravery, valour and patriotism are an example for others.
Dr Jitendra Singh was speaking to a delegation of "Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangha", a national organization of Gorkhas in India, who called on him here yesterday for redressal of their long pending issues and sought his intervention, particularly considering the fact that out of over one crore Gorkha population in whole of India today, the major portion of over 35 lakh lives in the North-Eastern region of the country.
Dr Jitendra Singh Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region
The delegation, led by its National President Shri S.M. Moktan, held a detailed meeting with Dr Jitendra Singh, wherein they brought up the issue of proper documents being provided to the members of the community to certify that they are permanent residents of the region. In the absence of such documents, they complained, they are sometimes seen as foreigners or illegal settlers or non-locals. In many States, they complained, that lack of such documentation has also deprived them from being enlisted in voters list.
Demanding OBC (Other Backward Class) status for Gorkha community, the members of the delegation requested for fair share in various incentives and avenues. They also urged that the Gorkhas living in the Northeast States may be involved in the development and economic activity in the region. The other demands put forward by the delegation included the request to include Gorkha language in the Eighth Schedule of Constitution and introduce Nepali language as a vernacular subject in schools and colleges.
Dr Jitendra Singh gave a patient hearing to the delegation. He said, the Ministry of DoNER recognizes their sensitivities and added that many of the demands put forward by them do not strictly pertain to his Ministry and therefore he will forward them to the concerned Departments and Ministries.
Prominent among the delegation members included Shri V.B. Thupu from Uttar Pradesh, Shri D.C. Poudiyal and Shri P.P. Pradhan from West Bengal, Shri Guman Bhoj Limbo from New Delhi, Shri Jagannath Koirala from Meghalaya and Shri Bhupendra Adhikari from Uttarakhand.

This is usually fine for the small percentage of users familiar with newsreaders but doesn't do much for those who don't. Users who are likely to know what to do with a feed are also those who are most likely to use a newsreader or aggregator with auto-discovery for feeds. For the uninitiated user, even with a great URI clicking would result in the addition of the site feed to a newsreader, it is likely that they won't have a program on their system to handle the URI and furthermore could use a brief educational piece on syndication before proceeding.
The problem I am proposing we solve is for the vast majority who will likely click on an XML, Atom button or syndication link without a newsreader installed. This is intended to inform users what they are viewing and reroute them to further information.
The proposal adds two optional tags to the Atom syndication format, adding a way to address an info tag with CSS. One tag invokes a CSS file and another tag to contain the info data.
Atom example (default) : Standard feed, notice the browser display. Ick.
Atom example (with CSS applied) : The feed uses the below xml-stylesheet tag to apply CSS formatting.
Atom example (with CSS and info tag) : Same as example 2 but with an added <info> tag to allow for visible formatting of the contents.
Atom well-formed example (with CSS and info tag) : This example feed looks even better than example 4 because it is well-formed.
Blogger and other blog services can't always guarantee that their users will output 'well-formed' content so example 3 is a good example of an improvement over raw xml but displays the limitations as well. Another caveat is that this has been tested on a few browsers and seems to work on all to varied results but Apple's Safari. Something to bring up to Dave Hyatt I suppose. The main thing that is odd is the display of the href in the info tag. Works in Safari, not in Firebird or IE. While some may argue that XSL/T could be used for similar reformatting, this usually requires heavy lifting on the part of the web server since not all browsers support client-side XSLT. CSS seemed to be a nice lightweight approach.
Here is the first tag addition after the xml declaration.
Here is the additional tag, it's called info though hint might also work. View source on example 3 to see the exact placement.
Your feedback is most welcome on the Atom Syntax list.
Thanks to Jason Sutter for making the CSS look pretty, Sam Ruby for pushing the limits of XML and CSS a few weeks ago. Thanks also to Greg Reinacker for lobbying for something nicer looking for potential aggregator users.

Thugs of Hindostan Story
Thugs of Hindostan is set in the backdrop of 18th century during the British rule in India. They kill the king of Raunakpur and miss king's daughter Safira (Fatima Sana Sheikh). Khudabaksh (Amitabh Bachchan) is the Army Chief who stands against the British. To trap him, Britishers bring a thug named Firangi (Aamir Khan). The rest of Thugs of Hindostan is all about the steps of Firangi and what happens next. Watch Thugs of Hindostan to know about the rest.
Thugs of Hindostan Analysis
Thugs of Hindostan fails badly despite of having top actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. Though the production values have been lavish and the action stunts have been canned well, the rest of Thugs of Hindostan is below par and ends up as a massive disappointment. While the audience manage to pass over the first half, the second half is a real test for their patience.
The second half is a massive disappointment that there is not even a single episode that impresses. Vijay Krishna Acharya fails to present the film in an engaging way. The logic goes for a toss and most of the episodes make no impact. Katrina Kaif stuns in the special song and her performance has been top notch. Amitabh Bachchan has been completely wasted in the first half. The climax looks simple and Thugs of Hindostan ends up as a massive disappointment.
Amitabh Bachchan's screen presence has been stunning and he delivered a stupendous performance throughout. Though he has been wasted in the first half, his role has been decent in the second half. Aamir Khan's role will have a limited appeal and will not be liked by everyone. Katrina Kaif is the show stealer and she has been top notch with her dance moves and stunning performance throughout. Fatima Sana Sheikh looks decent and all the other actors delivered their best for Thugs of Hindostan.
The story lacks interesting drama and a convincing conflict point. The screenplay and the dialogues are the major disappointments of the film. The production values have been top notch and the editing has been ok. The music and the cinematography work have been decent. Vijay Krishna Acharya's shaddy director makes Thugs of Hindostan one of the biggest debacles in the recent times.
Thugs of Hindostan Final Word
Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and team leaves the audience shattered with Thugs of Hindostan because of the poor plot and the shoddy direction.

Still Shocking, Sugar Blast Examined In Book
September 22, 2016 by Orlando Montoya

Few of us living here on February 7th, 2008 will soon forget what we were doing that night when a deadly blast ripped through the Imperial Sugar refinery, killing 14 people.
I was at the Live Oaks Public Library Foundation's annual gala at the Bull Street Library, enjoying hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, when I got the word to roll.
Our television screens – and it was still mostly television then – soon would be filled with images of burning rubble, emergency vehicles and talk of dust that explodes.
Eight years later, it's easy to think that we know what happened, that the story has been told. But I can say, you don't know the story until you've read "Deadly Dust."
A new book by the late political reporter Larry Peterson, the paperback reads like nothing he ever wrote on the subject. Definitive and engaging, it will become part of our history.
"He thought that the story needed to be told more fully," says his widow, Lanie Peterson. "He cared very much that people had to suffer."
Published by Black Rose Writing, "Deadly Dust" immerses you quickly in the horror of that industrial coffin in Port Wentworth. The first chapter is hard to read.
Eyewitnesses describe harrowing accounts of escapes through dark passages, bodies on fire and ordinary choices that determined life and death. Heroes and villains emerge.
And Larry pulls no punches about who he thinks is responsible. He says Imperial Sugar was probably guilty of manslaughter and its CEO John Sheptor at least guilty of perjury.
"He's a chemical engineer with years of experience," Lanie says of Sheptor, who escaped prosecution. "He testified under oath that he didn't know sugar dust was combustible."
Federal officials fined the company $6 million for workplace safety violations. But that figure pales in comparison with the golden parachutes and legal fees the fire produced.
Corporate whistleblower Graham Graham also proves an interesting character in print. A sharp-worded feather-ruffler who foresaw safety dangers, he called the plant a "shithole."
I couldn't use those words on the radio. But again, there's a lot in "Deadly Dust" that no media outlet, not even the Morning News (Lanie also writes for them), has space for.
Larry goes into the weeds of sugar production. It's briefly tedious, but important. He also explains the complicated legal and political abyss. The hair and makeup are frightening.
"US Sen. Saxby Chambliss received $131,000 in money from the sugar industry," Lanie says. "And [he] berated Graham when Graham was testifying before his subcommittee."
Eight years later, neither Congress nor Obama's Labor Department has taken any action on combustible dust regulations. It's our own shameful lesson about money in politics.
Larry wrote about money in politics as passionately as he rooted for his college football teams, including Southern California. So this was his season, in sports and in politics.
I and many others wish he were still here to write and root, surf and photo. The reporter died of cancer in 2014. He had finished the book but didn't have a publisher at the time.
"He was expecting to be there when the marketing was done," Lanie says. "But he got very sick, very quickly." We can thank his agent, Janice Shay, for pushing the work out.
And we can thank Lanie for being the face of "Deadly Dust" in Larry's absence since the Imperial Sugar story is still relevant, viscerally shocking and in constant need of retelling.
It's a consummate reporter's magum opus, a cautionary tale and a journo-school text in one. "I'm very proud of Larry for writing this book," she says. "He's alive in this book."
The book is available at The Book Lady Bookstore, E Shaver Bookseller and Amazon.
Lanie Peterson will speak and sign copies of the book at The Book Lady Bookstore, 6 East Liberty Street, on Saturday, October 1st from 12-2pm.

Orlando, I was at the library gala that night as well. What a terrible event. The sad part, to me, of Larry's book is that all this is past the statue of limitations and what is done is done.
But it is worth the read to really understand all that went on back then.

Using the content from an existing steam iron's instructional manual to create a connotative steam iron poster. This poster is expressive, painterly, emotive, illustrative, and as well as both typographical and experimental. Does it spin, emit sound, bend or remain still? Is it large or small? Quiet or loud? Is it associated with an action or emotion? The answers to these questions help to communicate through typography and determine the characteristics that guide the design decisions.


Thanks to the official Plants Vs. Zombies Twitter account, we now have confirmation that the PvZ team are currently working on a new Plants vs. Zombies title for PC and consoles. Blake Jorgensen, the current CFO, announced the game but would not confirm if we are getting a Garden Warfare 3 or not. These announcements came after an EA fiscal earnings call, and the discussion of the underperformance of Battlefield V. Let us know down in the comment section below if you would be excited about a new Plants Vs. Zombies game!

The Prisoners' Right-to-Read Statement
An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights
When a society, living under the rule of law, decides to segregate certain of its members—for the safety of society, for the protection or treatment of the person, or to correct the behavior of the person—the right to read, to access
knowledge and information, does not disappear on the institution's doorstep. Prohibition of materials should only occur in order to ensure the safety and security of residents and staff and based on those restrictions required by law. While such reasonable limits may restrict the range of material available, the extent of limitation should be minimized by strict adherence to clear and universal guidelines.
Prison, jail, detention center, and mental health facility libraries may be required by the rules of parent agency rules or federal, state, or local laws to prohibit material that:
instructs, incites, or advocates criminal action (bomb making or escape);
instructs, incites, or advocates bodily harm (murder or suicide);
or is itself a violation of law (obscenity or child pornography).
Prohibiting material for any other reason is censorship. Because material may depict or describe criminal activity, harm to persons, or violations of law should not be a reason to censor it. Because material may contain unpopular views or even repugnant content is not a reason to censor it. The U.S. Supreme Court has found that only when material advocates or promotes illegal behavior or activities should First Amendment rights be limited by the need for security, order, and rehabilitation.
Censorship is an exclusive process by which authority rejects specific points of view. Selection is an inclusive process. It is the search for the best of materials, regardless of medium, that present diversity and a broad spectrum of ideas. While accepting that we can not afford everything of value, our collection must reflect the needs of community and strive to meet those needs.
Unfettered access to information is essential those who wish to prosper within a democratic society. As unfettered as practical access to information is even more essential to persons held against their will, if they are to restore themselves whole to society. Suppression of ideas does not prepare the incarcerated for transition to freedom.
Even those who a lawful society chooses to exclude permanently deserve a role in the human struggle and that role requires access to information, to literature, and to a window on the world, no matter how narrow.
As Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote in his opinion for Procunier v Martinez [416 US 428 (1974)] :
When the prison gates slam behind an inmate, he does not lose his human quality; his mind does not become closed to ideas; his intellect does not cease to feed on a free and open interchange of opinions; his yearning for self-respect does not end; nor is his quest for self-realization concluded. If anything, the needs for identity and self-respect are more compelling in the dehumanizing prison environment.
Officials may wish to believe that prisoners think differently than people in the free population or believe that books make a prisoner have bad thoughts. The reality is that prisoners accurately reflect free society. Their flawed actions placed prisoners in need of correction and only new information, new insight—not isolation and punishment—can provide that correction.
It is a library's obligation to make available materials that provide a broad range of diverse beliefs and opinions. In that way a library counters negative books with positive books, helps replace harmful thoughts with beneficial ones. Libraries are in the business of providing information to increase the likelihood of reasoned thinking, encourage investigatory research, and promote critical thinking, so that people can reach their own conclusions rather than be limited to the imposed ideas of others. It is the responsibility of the library to teach users how to access and how evaluate material, not its job to tell them what to think.
It is important that a library reflect the needs of its community.
For prisoners, those needs may appear to be challenging the conditions of confinement, preparing or appealing their cases, overcoming mental health issues, and preparing to transition from incarceration to society. In fact prisoners have a more diverse set of needs than people in a free population but much less access to vital information and ideas. Library and correctional facility staffs must respect the wide range of needs in their populations.
It is not the function of a library to collect only material that support the values and mission of the agency or its leader but rather to provide for the multi-faceted needs of their population within the limitations and restrictions inherent in restricted environments. It is not the librarian's responsibility to build a collection around individual tastes, whether those of staff or the incarcerated, or to meet perceived mental health needs but rather to build a collection and provide resources for the community as a whole.
Lists of approved books, titles reviewed by an agency or facility and determined to be acceptable for prisoner use, may prove satisfactory starting points, however a library should not be limited to purchasing only previously reviewed and approved materials. Libraries must be allowed to purchase books in advance of agency or facility review and be trusted to follow guidelines in determining whether those books should be added to the library collection. Libraries must be allowed to solicit materials from a wide range of sources in order to ensure a broad and diverse collection.
Lists of censored books must include the rule or regulation which the content of the book violates, specific reference to the text that is censored, enough information about the source document that the librarian can confirm it is an exact copy, and the assurance that a high-level official of the parent agency sanctioned the censorship. This assures that library collections include more than those materials deemed "good for them," and that repugnant content is not the sole reason for material to be censored.
There shall be no ban on sexually explicit material unless the content is in violation of law, that is it is obscene or it is child pornography. In order to designate sexually explicit material obscene and a violation of the law, the material must meet all of the following criteria: the average person, applying contemporary standards, would find that the material appeals to the prurient interest in sex; it depicts or describes certain sexual acts defined in local law in a patently offensive way; and a reasonable person would find that the material lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. While the library would not seek material for it sexually explicit content neither would it exclude material from its collection because of such content.
There shall be no prohibition on materials in any foreign language. Based on the needs of a given population, based on the ethnic or linguistic demographic of that population, the library should make all reasonable efforts to provide sufficient materials to meet the needs of non-English fluent prisoners.
Redaction is a form of censorship and shall only be employed if required to allow access to information to that would otherwise be justifiably restricted by the rule of law or the safety and security of the institution.
There shall be no ban on certain types of media. Each medium has its purpose and to reject a medium could make it impossible to add certain material to a collection. The institutional reluctance to provide opportunities for the introduction or maintenance of contraband in library materials such as hardbound or paperbound books, disks, tape cassettes, or playback devices can be overcome by the use of technology. Electronic devices and fluoroscopes can pierce the any potential hiding place and allow materials into a library where the library staff can control the security of items that might afford opportunities for contraband to be hidden or ability to hurt self or others. Creative thinking and use of resources can expand library collections to a variety of media.
xWhile unfettered access to the Internet via person computers may be impractical, the correctional library shall provide access to information from the Internet and knowledge of the sources available through it. If practical, controlled access to the Internet and to e-mail accounts shall be provided as an adjunct of the services of the library.
We, as individuals devoted to reading and as librarians responsible for disseminating ideas, wish to assert the public interest in the preservation of the freedom to read for all who live in our democracy and a rightto read for those persons with just or unjust limits on their freedom.
Just as we believe that free communication is essential to the preservation of a free society and a creative culture, we believe that restoration of a held person to family, friends, and freedom requires real and minimally limited communication and access to knowledge.
The freedom to read is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is one civil right not lost at sentencing for criminal behavior no matter how heinous the crime. While the institution may impose restrictions on the right to read within narrow limitations, the basic right to read, to write, to think, should not be impaired.
Those with faith in people, in the ultimate decency of humankind, will stand firm on the constitutional guarantees of these essential rights. Those who cherish their full freedom and rights will exercise the responsibilities that accompany these rights and they will work to see the right to read, to write, and to think, extended to those in juvenile facilities, jails, detention facilities, prisons, state hospitals, mental institutions, immigration segregation facilities, and prison work camps.
We believe rather that what people read is deeply important; that ideas can be dangerous; but that the suppression of ideas is fatal to a democratic society and destroys the hopes of those segregated from society. Freedom itself is a dangerous way of life, but it is ours. When free people segregate some of their own, they acquire the responsibility to provide the tools required to bring the prodigal home. Chief among those tools is a right to read.

West Feliciana District Attorney Says Herman Wallace Has Been Reindicted
(Herman Wallace, in ambulance after his release.)
In an article published this evening, Lauren McGaughy of the Times-Picayune cites an announcement by West Feliciana District Attorney Samuel D'Aquilla, that a grand jury has reindicted Wallace. McGaughy writes further that:
George Kendall, one of Wallace's attorneys, said no one on his legal team was notified of the indictment Thursday. Documents filed in Louisiana's Middle District on Thursday show D'Aquilla notified the court of his intent to reindict Wallace.
"We have not received any official notification of an indictment, but if it is true, we are shocked that a state grand jury was asked to indict a man who has only days to live," Wallace's legal team said in a statement.
Kendall said he was "not surprised" that D'Aquilla didn't notify Wallace's legal team, but said the situation is disappointing and unusual.
McGaughy concludes that "the reindictment is largely a political move, as D'Aquilla said he would not ask that Wallace be put back behind bars, and also wouldn't set a court date until the end of the year.." Read the full article here.

Native Coho a No-show in Scott Creek
Posted on February 28, 2007 by Larry
Activist Corner, Streams and Wetlands Impacts
By Roger Sideman
Sentinel staff writer
DAVENPORT – One lone female coho salmon made the journey home to Scott Creek this year to spawn – not good news for a fish that desperately needs some.
Salmon researchers had expected 10 to 25 silvery-red females to return and lay eggs this year at the creek, a habitat that typically hosts more coho than neighboring streams and is considered to be a good barometer for species health in half a dozen other waterways between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. As many as 100 male coho were also expected to return, but none appeared in the early part of January when the majority of each year's run comes home.
Since females return every three years to spawn – at the end of their life-cycle – this year's absence signifies the possible extinction of one-third of the wild coho that belong to Scott Creek.
That's a significant blow for a creek that once was home to hundreds of the fish, scientists say.
They say that without a successful transplanting of hatchery-raised coho, or the arrival of more wild fish in 2008 and 2009, the coastal creeks that still support them could become barren like the San Lorenzo River, which they believe lost its native coho population long ago.
"It's horrible," said Sean Hayes of the salmon ecology team at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries lab in Santa Cruz.
Scientists say it is unclear whether the low numbers at Scott Creek are part of a larger phenomenon, as reports of coho returns from hatcheries up the California coast are mixed this winter.
The lone mother in Scott Creek was trapped and taken to a Davenport hatchery operated by the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project, where she laid eggs and was given a name, PW-1063.
Scientists will trace her ancestry by analyzing tissue samples. These genetic portraits are frequently taken to help determine whether offspring will survive in neighboring streams and whether the overall genetic diversity of the coho species has declined. Its offspring, raised in captivity, will be tagged to monitor their endurance in the wild.
Coho were once prevalent in coastal streams stretching from Santa Cruz County to Alaska. Now, California's coho numbers have plummeted to 1 percent of its historic population, according to fishery biologists. The local restoration effort began in the early 1980s with the Davenport hatchery.
"We thought they were on their way to recovery until El Niño in 1998, and would've recovered since then, but it has now taken a big hit," Hayes said.
Unless "a last-ditch emergency effort" using artificial propagation is successful, the coho may never fully recover, experts said.
Because the coho population is so small, they are especially vulnerable to subtle changes in their environment.
The culprit behind this winter's dismal coho turnout, they say, is weak rainfall. Low flows prevented creek mouths from opening in time for the fish to return to their native streams.
"They were sitting around at the river mouth, waiting for it to rain," said Dave Streig, hatchery manager for the nonprofit Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project.
The fish died waiting, or may have strayed into neighboring streams.
Some scientists believe that the local coho's problems began in the mid-1800s after a wave of post-Gold Rush settlers and new canneries overfished local streams to the point of extinction.
"Droughts and floods have hammered the coho," he said.
The fish are also sensitive to changes in the ocean's temperature, predation and inbreeding.
Other factors that have historically contributed to the coho's decline include logging, gravel mining and road building.
For the past 20 years, members of the Salmon and Trout Project have been volunteering to catch adult steelhead and coho salmon to send to a nearby hatchery to reproduce.
This spring, they will release roughly 2,300 hatchery-bred juvenile coho into Scott Creek. Next year, they hope to release up to 6,000.
Coho salmon south of San Francisco Bay have been on the state's endangered species list since 1995. The federal government has listed them as threatened in the Central Valley since 1996 and in Northern California since 1997.
The state's coho have declined significantly in the past half-century. Previous studies found a decline of at least 70 percent since the 1960s.

Coho facts
Coho salmon are a threatened species under federal law and endangered under state law.
Coho differ from other salmon and steelhead trout in that they stay in freshwater for about 18 months. But chinook, for example, head to sea in their first summer of life.
The fish typically spend two years in the sea, though some males return to streams after only one season in the ocean.
