Vice President, Policy & Legislation
Office: Policy and Legislation
Department: Policy & Legislation
media@earthjustice.org
Marty Hayden is Earthjustice's Vice President of Policy & Legislation.
He represents Earthjustice on Capitol Hill where he has played a key role since 1995 in blocking attempts to eliminate environmental protections for all National Forests and promoting more protection for pristine forest lands, such as Alaska's Tongass Rainforest and all roadless forests.
Prior to joining Earthjustice, Marty worked as a lobbyist for the Sierra Club in Missouri and Washington D.C. In his last position there, he led the lobbying effort to secure passage of the California Desert Protection Act in 1994. CDPA is the largest single Wilderness bill enacted since the Alaska Lands Act.
Marty formerly worked in Alaska's Tongass National Forest for the Forest Service and holds a B.S. in fishery biology from Colorado State University. Marty lives in the Washington, D.C. area with his wife Laurie and daughter Caroline.
This recollection was written at the close of 2002.
It's post-election season in Washington D.C., when the entire town seems to engage in navel gazing exercises. Interest groups that came out ahead in the elections are making big plans for moving their agendas forward. Those that came up short meet to assess what is at risk and develop plans for defending their issues. November 5, 2002 has placed more of what I care about, our environment, at risk than any previous election. Weeks before election day, the Washington Post reported that lobbyists for big business and conservative interest groups were meeting with GOP leadership to lay the groundwork to take swift advantage of their hoped-for political situation. One conservative interest group participating declared that it was " the domestic equivalent of planning for post-war Iraq." In other words, they are planning to seek swift and fundamental changes to many federal laws and policies, including many that safeguard public health and the environment.
Unfortunately, such preparations did not turn out to be premature. The anti-environmental interests have begun to lay out their agenda in the press: weakening clean air, water, endangered species and forest protection laws in order to promote more energy development, mining and logging. In 2003, they will control nearly all of the Congressional committees that have jurisdiction over our air, water, forests and parks. Many of the federal departments and agencies that these committees oversee are themselves headed by former industry lobbyists that used to work for the very industries they now regulate.
However, while the polluters and extractive industries are undeniably in an enviable political position, I have learned a few important things in the dozen years I've spent in Washington. First, things are never as bad, or as good, as you think they will be. Second, if you get the word out, you typically find the American public is on our side when it comes to protecting the environment. And third, in Congress it is easier to stop things you don't like than to pass things you do. My seven years at Earthjustice has taught me a fourth as well—we'll see them in court.
I think what I like most about Earthjustice is that it works on behalf of the entire environmental movement. We have represented nearly every major national environmental group, as well as hundreds of regional, state and local groups, in court cases throughout the nation. To our lawyers, it makes no difference whether you have a million members or just a handful. We have some incredibly talented litigators who would do very well in private practice but have forsaken those material rewards to serve many groups who would not otherwise have legal representation. When they win big environmental victories in court, the anti-environmental interests in D.C. often try to get Congress to overturn those court decisions through legislation. I enjoy the challenge of protecting our environmental victories and the laws upon which they are based.
When Laurie and I moved to Washington D.C. in mid-1990 it was a bit of a fluke. My second session working as the Sierra Club's Ozark Chapter lobbyist in the Missouri State Capitol had just concluded. Then Governor John Ashcroft (yes, the same one) had signed our top legislative priorities into law, a sweeping reform of Missouri's solid waste law and the addition of Taum Sauk Mountain (the state's tallest) to the State Park System. I had just been turned down for an environmental position in Alaska, and on a lark applied for a lobbyist slot at the Sierra Club's D.C. office to work on Global Warming and Energy. I told Laurie I was unlikely to get that job, as my experience and knowledge were in other environmental issues. However, we soon found ourselves driving two dogs, a cat, and our worldly possessions halfway across the country as well as planning a wedding in transit. We had traded seeing deer and wild turkey feeding in the neighbor's bean field adjacent to the old farmhouse we rented in rural Missouri for seeing lobbyists for the oil industry working the halls of Congress in $1,000 suits.
Congress declared war on Iraq and President Bush was calling for a national energy policy that had at its centerpiece the drilling of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Sounds familiar. In November 1991 drilling proponents fell 10 votes short of the 60 needed to overcome the filibuster being mounted by Senators Paul Wellstone (D-MN), Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and Dick Bryan (D-NV). That vote will always mean something special. No one thought we could do it, not going up against a President with a 90 percent approval rating and the powerful Chairman of the Senate Energy Natural Resources Committee, J. Bennett Johnston (D-LA). But the environmental community came together as one and the public was on our side.
At Earthjustice, I got to replay that fight again. Last year, President George W. Bush fell 14 votes short of what he needed to drill the Arctic. He will make another run at it in 2003, but there are thousands of Arctic activists ready to fight to save this special place yet again. Besides overseeing a talented and dedicated group of lobbyists, I also lobby forest issues for Earthjustice. This has allowed me to work to save the place that I like to tell people turned me into an environmentalist.
More than twenty years ago I arrived in Petersburg, Alaska, to take a job in fisheries management with the U.S. Forest Service. I was fresh from college and had never beheld, or even imagined, a land so bold and full of life as what I witnessed in the Tongass rainforest. Great snow-capped mountains cascading down through primeval forests inhabited by giant Sitka spruce, and hemlock towering over a lush floor of moss and ferns. It was with no small sense of wonder that I spent the summer surveying wild, free-flowing rivers and creeks teaming with cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden char, and pink, sockeye, chum and silver salmon. For a kid who learned to love the outdoors at the end of a fishing rod, I reasoned that the Tongass must be what awaits all honest anglers in the ever after.
Unfortunately, besides witnessing the glory of truly untrammeled wilderness, I also saw the hand of man, or rather of his machines. Mountainsides, formerly inhabited by giants, lay bare. These denuded slopes, in turn, deposited their loads of silt, soil and debris in the streams below. Where once brown bears and Sitka black-tailed deer rested in dark, sheltered woods, now neither man nor beast could travel without great effort. The clearcut that was formerly a forest looked most like the aftermath of a great explosion, a shattering of life and limb.
The next year I listened intently to Alaska Public Radio as it broadcast the floor debate surrounding President Carter's conservation legacy, the Alaska Lands Act. By the end of that year, 1980, the nation saw this landmark conservation measure become law. By that time too, one budding biologist, schooled in multiple and wise use, had also been changed forever by the power of this great and ancient forest—and I am still entranced by its power and the opportunity to protect it and many other wild places across the nation.
Congress, when drafting these and other environmental laws, recognized the reality that government often doesn't have the resources—or the will—to enforce laws that protect our environment and public health, and specifically included citizen enforcement provisions. Our legal and democratic rights in these environmental laws remain the envy of the rest of the world.

Dealership's insurer doesn't have to cover auction crash litigation
The insurer of a car dealership that owned a car that suddenly accelerated into a group of attendees at an auction, killing five people, does not have to provide coverage in the subsequent litigation, a federal appeals court ruled in affirming a lower court decision.
Merrimack, New Hampshire-based Nashua Automotive LLC received a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee in a 2017 trade-in and arranged for Billerica, Massachusetts-based Lynnway Auto Auction Inc. to auction the vehicle, according to Wednesday's ruling by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston in Motorists Commercial Mutual Insurance Co. v. Roger Hartwell; Lynnway Auto Auction Inc.
In May 2017, while the Jeep was being put up for auction inside Lynnway's Billerica facility, it accelerated into a crowd, killing five people and causing multiple serious injuries, the ruling said.
The victims and their estates filed a series of lawsuits in Massachusetts state court alleging several theories of liability against Lynnway, associated entities and Mr. Hartwell, a Lynnway employee who was in the driver's seat at the time of the accident.
Dealership insurer Motorist Commercial, based in Columbus, Ohio, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Boston, seeking a declaration its policies did not cover the auctioneer or Mr. Hartwell. The district court ruled in the insurer's favor and was affirmed by a unanimous three-judge appeals court panel.
A policy exclusion excepted from the definition of insureds a third party that is in the business of selling the dealership's autos, the ruling said.
"No reasonable insured that procured the policy would ordinarily have any interest in paying for a policy that provided coverage for another person who works for another unrelated seller of autos," the ruling said.
"And that is the precise situation here: Lynnway retained its own insurance policies, the providers of which have conceded the availability of coverage," the decision said in affirming the lower court.
A Motorists attorney had no comment, while Lynnway's attorneys did not respond to a request for comment.

Q: Stuck on a complex analysis proof: I am trying to prove that $f$ entire, one-to-one, is a linear polynomial.
I classified $f$'s singularities at infinity -- by Liouville's Theorem and the one-to-one assumption, $f$ can and must have a pole of order $k$ at infinity.
Then $f(1/z)$ has a pole of order $k$ at $z = 0$.
Consider $g:= z^k \cdot f(1/z)$.
Then $g$ is entire and bounded, hence constant.
So I have $C = z^k \cdot f(1/z)$, which is
$C/z^k = f(1/z)$.
I'm not sure how to finish and show that $f(z) = C\cdot z^k$, i.e., $f$ must be a polynomial, which then it follows that $k$ must be $1$ for the one-to-one assumption.
I tried inverting the arguments, but that seems faulty.
Thanks,

A: If you already have $f\left(\frac1z\right) = \frac C{z^k}$, you can now use this to prove that:
$$f(z) = f\left(\frac{1}{\frac1z}\right) = \frac C {\frac1z^k} = Cz^k$$

Labirint Ozon. Bradley Fenton. The author asserts that a majority of men repeatedly make common mistakes while interacting with women and thus unknowingly come off as unattractive. Fenton identifies these mistakes and suggests some rather unorthodox ways to overcome them. With integrity, maturity and humor, Stumbling Naked in the Dark explains once and for all why some men just don't get "it" and offers a new mindset for leading relationships in the right direction. While most dating and relationship books have focused on understanding the differences between men and women, Stumbling Naked in the Dark focuses on the similarities between the sexes by exploring universal laws of human behavior. Relationship problems are due to the pressure created by the "aggressively flawed" role that people, and primarily men, learn to play in our culture. This leads to men exerting negative pressure and control that causes women to subconsciously withdraw and find men unattractive.

• 2nd Turning point in my love of this sport, In mid 84' my dad and step-mom split up and I was left as the only BMXer in the house, but the day that truly changed my life was Sunday December 30, 1984 when my Father passed away, basically 20 minutes after I arrived back from the National held in Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery, AL. As stunning and surreal as that event was for me, BMX saved me. This sport really helped me get through this part of my life, I had moved in with my Aunt and Uncle, but the families and friends who took me to races and let me join their BMX families got me through a very difficult 1985 and honestly for the rest of my career. I can never repay them all, but that further cemented my love of this sport.
• Turned Expert after the 1984 NBL Grands year (age 14) and did the local, state, and national, east coast scene until 1991, turning pro in 1989, before having to have both shoulders reconstructed in 1991 and then going off to college.
• Raced for Betsill's Bike shop (my hometown shop) 83'-87', Factory Phase II in 87'-89', and finally the "Gulf Riders" 89'-91'.
• Started racing again briefly and sparingly from 94'-96' after moving to the Tampa Bay area, but hung the bike up again in 96'.
• The week after the 9-11-01 incident, an old friend called me up and told me that he was racing at our old home track in Dothan and I should come down and ride. It was like a duck to water, it just felt natural and I have been racing on and off again ever since.
• I started HRPdesigns Custom BMX Numberplates in 2003.
• Started racing for "Team Motofiller" in the NBL (with several of my old school buddies back in the sport just like me), as I transitioned to the ABA in 2006 we branded the ABA team "TwentyH.com" (a spinoff of HRPdesigns) with me as Team Manager.
• With a few new rider additions the HRPdesigns Factory Team was born in 2009.
• The team gives me a way to help out riders get to races and have a good time and a home at these races, very similar to how I was taken in by others after my Father died. Running the team has really been a very rewarding experience for me.
• Designed my first BMX number plate for myself in 1987, who would have thought I would have turned it into a business 20 year later.
• In 2003, I discovered my graphic design skills and education could be utilized in conjunction with my passion for BMX racing, and began making number plates for myself. When the riders at the local tracks learned of the creations, the requests for custom designs and plates started to roll in. As the demand for the plates grew, it seemed natural to tie the whole thing together and HRPdesigns Custom BMX Number Plates was born. HRPdesigns plates have been seen all over the world, on many of the top rider's bikes and with multiple teams.
• First modern national I photographed, Rockford 2007.
• I owe Mike Carruth, Dan Mooney, Jerry Landrum, and Jasen Krenek for tons of photo tips. Thanks guys.

The year-old and self-dubbed "go-getter" started posting YouTube covers at age 14 to kickstart her singing career after her pursuits in dance and modeling fell flat. Two and a half years ago, she moved from her native Miami to Los Angeles to work on music full-time. She officially released her debut EP, Confidently Lost , this March and followed up with a sophomore project, About Time , last month after crafting it for over a year. So laziness is out of the question when it comes to her work ethic. But her cool, sultry vibe is intriguingly nonchalant, and it it permeates her sound, visuals and fashion sense. The result is an alluring fusion of sounds. Also, the fan base is growing.
Her single "Unravel Me" peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart, and her single "Belong to You" peaked at number 2 on the same. Her debut mixtape, About Time was released on October 5, Claudio grew up in Fort Lauderdale. She is half Cuban and half Puerto Rican descent. She later moved to Los Angeles , where she began her music career in earnest. She released another single for that project entitled "Belong to You" in July , which peaked at 2 on the same chart. On October 5, , Claudio's debut full-length digital mixtape, About Time , was officially released. The mixtape is supported by the singles "Unravel Me" and "Belong to You". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. American singer and songwriter.
Sabrina Claudio refused to continue her show until a fan who passed out, circumstances unknown, was taken care of. The ordeal took more than five minutes of showtime but the health and safety of her supporters were non-negotiable. Before headlining her own international tour became reality, she romanticized about what it would be like to hear swarms of people repeating even her most intimate lyrics back to her. At 17, her talent was so promising that her parents moved the family from Miami to Los Angeles to allow her to pursue her passion. She labeled her younger self as a sad soul. She was a girl who had difficulty making friends and preferred to lock herself in her room, communicating with lyrics. Claudio, now 23, has seemingly grown out of her shell. For the hour-and-a-half she held the microphone, she made the rules.

If you're from the Vancouver or Fraser Valley area it's pretty much safe to say the busy fishing season has arrived. I took five days off work and fished a few early mornings before work to get out there and take in a little of what the local salmon fishing scene has to offer and was not disappointed.
The West Vancouver shoreline is on fire right now. In a seven day cycle we landed 20 keeper fish for friends and family. The rods were hopping and my quests enjoyed the action ! Almost every day we managed our limit. Once you find the school and your tactics are right - you have a pretty good chance to catch them.
I have been finding the new Gibbs Delta tackle flashers have been producing very well when matched up with a UV double skirt Yamashita hoochie. I have been using the chartreuse blade in MoonJelly and Glow finishes both with redstripe pretty much all week. The magic depth for me has been 31 feet on my Scotty Down riggers.
More recently I've been doing better with just the straight glow version, fishing this flasher both sides exclusively.
The Coho schools have been scattered and the trick is to find the schools when the bite is on. We have been finding them from the Cap Mouth to Point Atkinson ... although lately the flood tide seems to push the fish closer to the Cap mouth. This was the case for most of the past week however, last evening the fish were closer to Point Atkinson.
Coho haven't been the only salmon species being landed I've seen some nice Chinook caught off the Cap mouth too ... and have heard stories of the odd pink in the area as well.
Here are a couple of pictures of a young couple out on Sunday, these guys landed a coho and a nice Chinook both fish were caught with a on a Goldstar Coho Killer Green and Glow spoon ! This also goes to show you this fishery is totally accessible to small boats as well, just be sure to check the local wind report through environment Canada.
Here's a picture of a fish my good friend Mike Duncan's Prestige Sport Fishing Team landed nice work boys !
We were out a few weeks back and managed a gorgeous fish ... here's a highlight clip.
Friends are reporting Red Springs being landed in the Vedder and lots of Sockeye making their way into the Vedder system. Just remember Sockeye are catch and release only , play fish quickly, keep them in the water, and release them as swiftly as possible and with out harm.
Bottom line ... get out there people ! The weather is awesome and the bite is on !
Special thanks to my good friend Rob Alcock of Gibbs Delta Tackle for allowing me to pop buy the plant and experiment with tackle ideas and thanks for keeping me stocked up with my special flashers so my guests and I can continue to enjoy fishing in the area !
If you get a chance to go Fishing ... Go Fishing !

Review: Ragtime

Ragtime, the much beloved modern classic of the American musical stage, finally makes its Australian professional premiere with the Production Company – judging from the rapturous audience response on opening night it has been well worth the wait. Based on E.L. Doctorow's acclaimed novel, with a score by powerhouse composing duo Ahrens and Flaherty, and a book by legendary playwright Terrence McNally, Ragtime represents the peak of the modern Broadway musical.
Set at the turn of the 20th century, the show depicts the trials and interactions of three families representing the cross sections of racial and socio-economic backgrounds in America at the time. An upper-middle class white family of New Rochelle, a pair of lovers from the marginalized black community of Harlem, and a father and daughter emerging from the impoverished immigrants of Eastern Europe. Director Roger Hodgman conducts these intersections of class and race across tiers of scaffolding, choregrapher Dana Jolly delineating all three groups clearly through movement (as well as several flashy vaudeville numbers).
The African-American lovers form the centre of Ragtime's dramatic momentum and spirit, with Kurt Kansley cutting a commanding figure as pianist Coalhouse Walker Jnr., his fine baritone by turns beautiful and fearsome as Coalhouse's struggle for justice descends into darkness. Chloe Zuel as his lover Sarah makes a huge impression with a powerful performance of the chilling 'Your Daddy's Son'.
Alexander Lewis as immigrant on the rise Tateh recalls a young Mandy Patinkin, bringing intensity and a thrilling tenor to the role as well as rogueish charm, combining all three in the pyrotechnic patter song 'Buffalo Nickel Photoplay, Inc.'. As the acerbic Grandfather, John McTernan steals the show with barely a handful of lines. As the Mother of the white New Rochelle family, Georgina Hopson delivers the standout performance of the production. She delivers the show's defiant anthem to the onward march of civilization, 'Back to Before', so winningly that the audience is held completely spell bound before exploding into applause.
Ragtime's optimistic ending, which envisions a potential America whose socio-political boundaries have dissolved and united the people as family, seems slightly naïve in the face of the country's (and indeed, the world in general) continued racial and class inequalities well into the 21st century. While we can only hope and work towards a future like the one prophesized here, musical theatre fans can rejoice in the vision of this beautiful production.

REVIEW: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
Directed by Roger Hodgman and original choreography reproduced by Dana Jolly, Melbourne's new production of Fiddler on the Roof is a powerhouse production to kick off the 2016 theatre season.
Written in 1960's the drama-filled musical, heralded as the first of its kind, has stood the test of time as its themes of tradition, family, love and displacement are just as relevant today. Set in a small village, Anatevka, Russia, the milkman Tevye (Anthony Warlow) is struggling to provide a comfortable life for his family. This includes his five strong-willed daughters, who Tevye hopes to marry off to suitable men that will provide some of the comforts he can not afford. With tensions brewing and the world changing around them, Tevye finds the traditions of his people being challenged by more than just his intelligent and independent daughters' ideas on love.
The cast is full of some of Australia's best stars of the stage. Warlow is joined by Sigrid Thornton (Golde), Lior (Motel), Nicki Wendt (Yente) and Mark Mitchell (Lazar Wolf); the latter's transformation is so superb that I didn't know it was Mitchell until I read the program. Warlow is also almost unrecognizable as Tevye, embodying all the warmth and humour of the character, yet Warlow's presence is betrayed by his unmistakably rich voice.
While Warlow is clearly the star of the show for both his talent and the iconic role, the rest of the cast are just as masterful. The onstage relationship between Warlow and Thornton is endearing and Wendt's portrayal of the matchmaker is as every bit hilarious as the character is nosey. There are several other exceptional performances in this production. Teagan Wouters (Tzeitel), Monica Swayne (Hodel) and Jessica Vickers (Chava) are all impressive as Tevye's eldest daughters revealing exceptionally strong vocals.
There were so many moments where I found myself astonished by the talent on stage: Warlow's rendition of "If I Were a Rich Man" and the ensemble dancers during "To Life" and "Wedding Dance", for example. However one of the truly standout aspects of this production was the set design by Richard Roberts. Simple and understated but such a clever design concept that allows for such seemingly easy transitions between houses and into the town square.
To be honest, I would have been happy if the performance finished after Act 1 as Fiddler on the Roof had already exceeded all of my expectations; the fact that Act 2 extended this prodigious experience was a delightful bonus. This production of Fiddler on the Roof has certainly set the performance standard for 2016 and it will be a difficult task for others to match.

Storm Money
Where are they now: Mahe Fonua
melbournestorm.com.au
Thu 1 Jun 2017, 01:12 PM
Victorian born. Melbourne Storm made. UK Living.
Mahe Fonua has had a rugby league journey unlike anyone else.
A true local product, Fonua emerged from the Storm development program to make his NRL debut during the 2012 season.
He went on to play 50 games in the purple jersey across four seasons, scoring 24 tries.
We return to AAMI Park on June 2. Watch us take on the Knights!
In 2016 he ventured across to the other side of the world to join UK Super League side Hull F.C, a move that saw him link up with former Storm premiership player Sika Manu.
Fonua's first season brought about some long-awaited silverware for the Hull fans as the team went on to win the Challenge Cup for the first time in their history with the former Storm winger scoring a try in the narrow 12-10 victory over Warrington.
On the field it was a relatively smooth adjustment for the 24-year-old, who's game is perfectly suited to the attacking style of UK rugby league.
However he admits that the lifestyle away from the Club has taken some getting used to.
"It was a little bit tough at the start, making that transition over to the other side of the world," Fonua said.
"Coming from a big city like Melbourne and moving to Hull, it is a very big difference. It was hard to adapt to at the start, getting used to the lifestyle.
"When you are born and raised in one city your whole life but then to come to a small town, it was a bit of a wake up call for me."
Fonua currently lives in Hull with his wife Christine and while the couple has enjoyed their time in the UK, they have recently made the decision to return back to Australia once the current Super League season comes to an end. He will look to continue his career back in the NRL.
It has been a fantastic experience for the outside back who acknowledges just how much he owes to the Melbourne Storm during those early years of his career.
"Storm pretty much taught me everything I need to know with footy," Fonua said.
"With the culture and the attitude that they have down in Melbourne, that is something that helped me over here, just being a bit more professional because over here you have to take more ownership in the things you do on and off the field.
"I probably would have gone a bit astray if I was at any Club other than Melbourne before coming over here. I've taken what I've learned at Melbourne and have tried to push that onto the boys I play with over here."
Fonua continues to maintain his Storm connection, staying in contact with several players still running out in the purple jersey each and every week.
"Me and Kenny Bromwich are really close mates, we text each other at least a couple of times a week with a bit of banter and having a bit of a laugh," Fonua said.
"I check in with how the boys are going. I played there for all my NRL career so I did make quite a lot of friends that I keep in touch with."
Victoria is where Fonua was born and he knows that Melbourne Storm will always be home for one of our own.
Hynes motivated by 'bittersweet' grand final memory

A VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY: Pressured by watchdog groups, civil rights organizations and a growing national movement for accountable lawmaking, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) announced on April 17 that it will disband its Public Safety and Elections task force. This entity has been the prime vehicle for proposing and advancing what critics rightly describe as voter-suppression and anti-democratic initiatives—not just restrictive Voter ID laws but also moves to limit citizen-proposed referendums. The task force has also been the source of so-called Castle Doctrine laws, which limit the ability of police and prosecutors to pursue inquiries into shootings of unarmed people like Trayvon Martin.
The announcement marked a dramatic turn of events, with major implications for state-based struggles over voting rights and elections, as well as criminal justice policy. But it does not mean that ALEC will stop promoting one-size-fits-all "model legislation" at the state level. The disbanding of the task force appears to be a desperate attempt to slow a recent exodus of high-profile corporations from the group's membership rolls.
Anger over the Martin case intensified the focus on Florida's Stand Your Ground law, and on the role of ALEC and the National Rifle Association in passing similar measures. ALEC, a right-wing "bill mill," had already been under increasing scrutiny since the Center for Media and Democracy and The Nation launched the ALEC Exposed project last summer. Pressure by the CMD; civil rights groups like the NAACP, National Urban League and Color of Change; and good-government organizations such as Common Cause and People for the American Way led to decisions by Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's and other major corporations to drop their affiliations with ALEC. In many cases, the corporations suggested that while they were comfortable working with ALEC to push for policies favorable to their business interests, they didn't relish being drawn into debates about issues like voting rights and gun control. ALEC's decision cannot be seen as anything other than a response to the pressure the group has felt as those high-profile corporate members quit it almost daily.
Bangladesh is the world's second-largest exporter of apparel. Although in theory it is legal to organize, says Akter, a former apparel worker who was fired after trying to form a union, "our workers are not treated to that." She says the intelligence service tortured Islam in jail and demanded he disavow BCWS. She also thinks security forces may be responsible for his murder.
ABOLITION, WITH A CATCH: Connecticut is poised to become the seventeenth state to abolish the death penalty—and the fifth in the past five years. On April 11 the House passed a Senate version of an abolition bill, which Democratic Governor Dannel Malloy has promised to sign. An earlier bill to abolish the death penalty was passed in 2009 but was vetoed by Republican Governor Jodi Rell. This new bill passed 20-16 in the Senate and 86-62 in the House.
The bill contains a number of compromises, made to secure the necessary Senate votes. The legislation will not be applied retroactively, meaning that eleven men will remain on death row. An amendment to the bill stipulates new conditions for prisoners sentenced to life without parole that will mirror death row: segregation, isolation for twenty-two hours a day and no contact visits. According to Senator Martin Looney, a key supporter of the bill, lawmakers consulted with the state's corrections commissioner in crafting that language to ensure it would not run afoul of the Eighth Amendment. "He was concerned that if we were to go any further in terms of severe restrictions we might possibly create a challenge on those grounds, that the conditions were being too harsh," Looney said. Michael Ross, the only Connecticut prisoner to be executed in the past fifty-two years, gave up his appeals after living on death row for eighteen years. He was executed in 2005.

Among all special orthogonal groups SO(n)SO(n), the case of SO(8)SO(8) is special, since in the ADE classification of simple Lie groups it corresponds to D4, which makes its representation theory enjoy triality.
There are precisely 3 conjugacy classes of Spin(7)-subgroups inside Spin(8), and the triality group Out(Spin(8))Out(Spin(8)) acts transitively on these three classes.
and the right vertical inclusion Bι′B \iota' is the delooping of one of the two non-standard inclusions, according to Prop. .

By Ken,
March 26, 2005 in Movies and TV
I rented this film last night after hearing a small blurb about it on NPR. What a film. I simply cannot believe that it has been around for ten years and I had never watched it. Starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as Jesse and Celine, they are two travellers whose paths happen to cross on a train from Budapest to France. Jesse has to disembark in Vienna and asks Celine to spend the night walking around Vienna with him and taking in the sights. With each step and each word exchanged, the two fall deeper and irretrievably in love with one another. They talk about everything from sex, to their parents, music and television and we the viewer are drawn to them. Director Richard Linklater allows Hawke and Delphy the space to develop their characters and give them depth and texture. You care about them and want to know more. There isn't much in the way of action and absolutely no special effects here, rather, everything is in the dialogue. And as the viewer, we know that these two must part in the morning. How that is to be handles is answered in the equally-great "Before Sunset", which takes place nine years after. If you like films along these lines, you'll not be disapponted. Honest.

This movie came on HBO one night when I was about ready to go to bed. I couldn't stop watching. There are no special effects, very little drama, and very simple editing, but I couldn't take my eyes off it. This proves what good writing can do for a movie.
The sequel is in my Netflix queue, but I have to get through Donnie Darko and Reanimator first.

Richard Linklater is one of my Favs... Have you all seen the Slackers film? That was a very interesting film...

just watched before sunrise recently and loved it. (ethan hawke is the image of jeff buckley in that movie which made it all the more watchable!). the writing is wonderful. i love the idea that you can just fleetingly meet someone and have such an intense experience with them in the space of twenty four hours. can't wait to watch the second part, before sunset.
All this talk of Jeff Buckley has enticed me to buy his Grace CD on e-Bay. Was that a good choice? Gisela, you wouldn't steer me wrong now, would ya?
And as to Before Sunset...I was asleep before sunset. I found it to be boring. Before Sunrise was good.

Uncle (sorry to but-in Gisela), give 'Grace' a few listenings to before you make up your mind. It is not instantly accessible like all the best music, but well worth the effort.
i agree with diggs! and grace was the best choice of his catalogue as it was one of his few official releases before his death. the other releases are mostly live stuff and other obscure recordings mostly of interest to those who are already fans. as diggs says, give it a few listens. the most instantly accessible track is probably the cover of 'hallelujah' which jeff is most famous for. there are a few other covers on there as well. it's his own work that i particularly love though - 'so real', 'last goodbye', 'lover, you should've come over' (my current favourite song of all time), 'eternal life' and 'dream brother'. his lyrics are beautiful. please please please let me know what you think uncle joe, after a few listens!! i'm so proud of you!
Thank you Diggs and Gisela. I will certainly let you know what I think. Next I suppose I should look into Tim Buckley .
'Next I suppose I should look into Tim Buckley'
Uncle, you surely should. I am amazed he isn't well known in the US, or indeed anywhere for that matter. If it helps to focus your listening pleasure, his early albums are a bit folky but the rest (bar his last one which was iffy) are wonderful fusions of folk, blues and whiteboy soul. Take your pick, probably best starting with a compilation as he produced a lot of music, and enjoy!
Why do you think Ethan Hawke is one of my all-time favourite actors? ;)The man cannot be in a bad movie because his presence makes it a good one, period.
ETHAN!
I recently saw a modern production of Hamlet with Ethan Hawke cast as the title character. Believe you me, not even Sir L. Olivier looked the part as Ethan did

Giant Archers in Florida
Florida Giants
In 1528, or almost ten years after Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda's discovery of giants on the Mississippi River, the ill-fated explorer Panfilo de Narvaez put three hundred men ashore at Tampa Bay. His mission was to search the Florida mainland for its riches, while his five ships sailed just off the coast. Only Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and three companions survived this expedition. Afterward they crossed the North American continent from shore to shore, becoming the first white men to do so. In his history, Cabeza de Vaca mentions some giant Florida Indians who attacked the Narvaez party. "When we came in view of Apalachen," he writes, "the Governor ordered that I should take nine cavalry with fifty infantry and enter the town.18 Accordingly the assessor and I assailed it; and having got in, we found only women and boys there, the men being absent; however these returned to its support, after a little time, while we were walking about, and began discharging arrows at us. They killed the horse of the assessor, and at last taking to flight, they left us…. The town consisted of forty small houses, made low, and set up in sheltered places because of the frequent storms. The material was thatch. They were surrounded by very dense woods, large groves and many bodies of fresh water. . . Two hours after our arrival at Apalachen, the Indians who had fled from there came in peace to us, asking for their women and children, whom we released; but the detention of a cacique [the Indians' chief] by the Governor produced great excitement, in consequence of which they returned for battle early the next day, and attacked us with such promptness and alacrity that they succeeded in setting fire to the houses in which we were."19
After twenty-five days, Narvaez' army departed Apalachen. But a short while later, as they attempted to cross a large lake, they came under heavy attack from many giant Indians concealed behind trees. "Some of our men were wounded in this conflict, for whom the good armor they wore did not avail," continues Cabeza de Vaca. 'There were those this day who swore that they had seen two red oaks, each the thickness of the lower part of the leg, pierced through from side to side by arrows; and this is not so much to be wondered at, considering the power and skill with which the Indians are able to project them. I myself saw an arrow that had entered the butt of an elm to the depth of a span…. The Indians we had so far seen in Florida are all archers. They go naked, are large of body, and appear at a distance like giants. They are of admirable proportions, very spare and of great activity and strength. The bows they use are as thick as the arm, of eleven or twelve palms in length, which will discharge at two hundred paces with so great precision that they miss nothing."20
Harassments by these Indian giants continued. So Narvaez decided to head south for the gulf coast and escape by the sea. Arriving there after much hardship, he and his men constructed five crude boats, in order to search along the coast for a Spanish settlement. Unfortunately, a sudden, fierce storm caught them some distance from land. The high winds drove all the boats, with all their men aboard, far out to sea. All were subsequently lost except Cabeza de Vaca and three companions who managed to reach the shore. They walked across Texas and northern Mexico, finally reaching the Pacific coast where they linked up with Francisco Vazquez de Coronado in 1541.http://stevequayle.com/Giants/N.Am/Giants.N.Am1.html#Anchor-Florida-6296

Protect your family and your home from the unhealthy and damaging effects of over-dry air. Dry nose, cracked and itchy skin, sore throats, static shocks, splitting or cracked wood floors, trim, and molding are all effects of dry air. Why go through another heating season with all these uncomfortable issues for you and your family.
Adding humidity to the air makes you feel warmer, meaning that you can keep your thermostat set at a lower temperature which saves you money! The EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat. Daily activities such as showering, cooking, and laundry do not produce enough moisture to keep your air from being too dry.
Just the right amount of humidity can keep colds and flu at bay and reduces aggravating asthma symptoms.
Aprilaire Humidifiers deliver the perfect amount of humidity to protect your wood floors and furniture from dry-air damage.

Tour Operator: Easy Rider Tours
Tour Operator Easy Rider Tours
Rich with color, art, and history, the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts make for spectacular fall cycling.
Our routes lead through idyllic farmlands, forested hillsides, and quintessential New England villages. We'll stop to visit the Berkshires' best-loved cultural landmarks, from the Norman Rockwell Museum to Hancock Shaker Village, whose beautifully preserved buildings and gardens are all that remain of the Shakers' eighteenth-century "City of Peace." Artists, authors, and dreamers alike have found inspiration in the Berkshires' beauty. Many a cyclist has as well!
Cape Breton Highlands
In cycling circles, the northeastern tip of Nova Scotia is renowned for its twin biking treasures: Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the 180-mile Cabot Trail.
With its serpentine route and nonstop seaside panoramas, the Trail belongs on the "life list" of every dedicated biker. Our route includes the most beautiful sections of both the Trail and the Park, along with easier cycling in the interior's Margaree Valley: sugar maple forests and salmon-rich streams, the Artisan Trail with its wealth of talented crafters, and the Fleur-de-Lis Route, ending at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site.
Celtic Challenge
Metric centuries and more
Our most challenging Ireland tour features 50-mile days and three metric centuries. Designed for experienced cyclists looking for a scenic workout, our route traces Kerry's emerald-green coastline and crosses highlands reminiscent of Scotland, with romantic lakes and cascading waterfalls. Take the high road over Conor Pass, Ballaghbeama Gap, and Healy Pass, and trace the West Cork coast to Kinsale. Along the way, we'll take time off to indulge in simple Irish pleasures: fresh-baked scones, fresh-drawn Guinness, and toe-tapping music seisiuns.
Climb Connor Pass, Healy Pass, and Ballaghbeama Gap
Visit the Blasket Heritage Centre and Skibbereen Famine Centre
Cheese tasting at Manning's Emporium
Traditional music and nightlife in lively Kenmare

Coasting Kerry
10 days (Bike: 9 days)
County Kerry is at the top of every cyclist's wish list, and our tour of the Dingle, Beara, and Iveragh peninsulas includes Kerry's most beloved landscapes as well as some undiscovered jewels known only to the luckiest of bikers.
Each day's ride offers a constantly changing panorama of sky and sea, forests and mountains, fuchsia and foxglove, punctuated with friendly villages and colorful shop fronts. Our cycling itinerary reads like a "Who's Who" of cherished Kerry landmarks: Slea Head, the Lakes of Killarney, the Gap of Dunloe, MacGillycuddy's Reeks, and, of course, the Ring of Kerry.
Coasting New England
Guided, Self-Guided
Bike the best of the New England coast on our tri-state spin from Massachusetts to Maine!
Our Bay State route winds past salt marshes and sandy beaches, centuries-old farmsteads lined by rugged stone walls, and historic towns with classic New England architecture. At just 18 miles long, New Hampshire's coastline is short but scenic, and we'll stop mid-state for an overnight in trendy Portsmouth, NH. Then it's on to Maine, with its rocky coasts, historic lighthouses, lobster shacks, and the downeast ambiance of Kennebunkport. Two wheels, six days, three states – there's no better way to see the New England coast!
Alentejo na Primavera - The Provence of Portugal
In the spring the rich colors of the Alentejo are at their brightest.
Our route winds past hillsides carpeted in wildflowers and poppies, groves of cork and olives, and whitewashed villages accented by cobalt blue trim and ornate azulejos. We'll end each day in one of Portugal's loveliest towns, whose cobbled streets and turreted castles hint at their storied past. Unique accommodations include the Pousadas de Portugal and a 15th century convent in a fairy-tale setting — historic and architectural landmarks that have been transformed into one-of-a-kind hotels.
Algarve Blue - Coastal biking bliss
Between its azure skies and Atlantic shores, the Algarve boasts more shades of blue than even Martha Stewart could imagine!
Our southern Portugal biking route traces the Atlantic coast to the land's end at Cabo de São Vicente, continues to lively Lagos, and tops it off in the mountain forests of the Serra da Monchique (new for 2019!). Several two-night stays allow options for biking, hiking, a dolphin watch, or just relaxing. Along the way we'll pedal past ever-changing ocean views: tiny fishing villages, colorful harbors, towering sea cliffs, and golden sand dunes - not to mention some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
Seekers and adventurers from around the world have been drawn to 'The Road to Santiago' since the year 814, when a shower of falling stars guided the Spanish hermit Pelayo to Santiago and the hidden tomb of the apostle St. James.
History, mystery, legends and traditions line every mile of the 1,100-year-old route. Our biking tour follows the ancient trail across the plains of Castile, wheat fields of León, and emerald mountains of Galicia to the magnificent Cathedral of Santiago. Biking the Camino is both an adventure and an accomplishment Рan incomparable sojourn that will inspire memories to last a lifetime. More than any other bike trip, it's a journey of the body, mind, and spirit.
To accommodate the varying schedules (and energy levels) of aspiring bike pilgrims, we offer our Camino de Santiago bike tour in two lengths: a 11-day itinerary beginning in Burgos, and a shorter 8-day Camino which joins the tour en route in León.
Land of La Mancha
The adventures of Don Quijote have inspired films, ballets, countless works of fine art' and our off-the-beaten-track Spain bike tour!
Much of our La Mancha route is along hardpack dirt/gravel roads and trails closed to automobile traffic—a cyclist's "impossible dream" come true. We'll visit cultural landmarks and Quixotic icons all along the way, from the birthplace of Quijote's beloved Dulcinea to the famous windmills (no jousting on bikes allowed!). Short climbs and 20-to-30-mile biking days make this a perfect choice for cyclists who enjoy venturing off pavement. Join us as we add an Easy Rider "spin" to one of the most captivating tales of all time!
Minho Grape Escape
Portugal & Spain
Shared by Portugal and Spain, the lush countryside of the Minho river valley stretches all the way to the Atlantic coast.
Our tour explores Portugal's wine country, where terraced hillsides strung sky-high with grapevines are interspersed with sleepy red-tile-roofed villages and colorful market towns. Crossing the Rio Minho into Spain, we'll cycle through the verdant Galician countryside to the seaside resort of Baiona. A grand finale ride spins past wild horses, mystical Celtic ruins, and the sparking Atlantic. We'll spend our nights in Spanish paradors and Portuguese manor houses, including an award-winning wine estate. Along the way, we'll toast our travels with the local wines, including the Minho's crisp vinhos verdes. Sa√∫de! Salud! Cheers!

Home Music Jazz Maggie Herron's "Wolf" puts a jazz twist on an old fairytale
Maggie Herron's "Wolf" puts a jazz twist on an old fairytale
Dodie Miller-Gould
The song, "Wolf" by Maggie Herron, is found on the performer's third album, "Between Music and the Moon." "Wolf" takes the story of Little Red Riding Hood and amps it up to give it meaning for adult jazz fans.
About Maggie Herron
Maggie Herron is a Muskegon, Michigan-born jazz vocalist and pianist. Herron's base is in Honolulu, a long way from her Midwestern home. The performer grew up the ninth of 12 children. By the age of 18, according to her website, Herron was busy making her way in the world, or at least across the United States.
Before leaving Michigan, however, Herron had begun developing her musical talent. She trained in classical musical and was a skilled piano and organ player while still a child. By age 10, Herron served as the organist for her church.
Herron's life story reads like gripping, realistic fiction. The performer's website explains that she "hitchhiked" to Washington state. There, tucked in a rustic cabin, complete with an upright piano, she honed her pop and folk skills. Meeting older musicians around Seattle was her introduction to jazz. After a while, Herron headed to Hawaii.
The island paradise might not seem the most logical place to receive an education in jazz, but that wasn't the case for Herron. Once she was established as a performer, her website states, Herron worked as the opening act for Dave Brubeck, the Jazz Crusaders and Phoebe Snow. Decades later, Herron is still working and recording in Hawaii. She performs several nights a week in Honolulu.
Maggie Herron: "Between the Music and the Moon"
"Between the Music and the Moon," contains 12 original songs. In addition to Herron on piano and vocals, Dean Taba is on bass, and Abe Langrimas is on drums. The soundscape includes auxiliary work on arrangements and piano by Bill Cunliffe, and guitar by Grant Geissman, saxophone and flute by Bob Sheppard and percussion by Alex Acuna. The effort on "Between the Music and the Moon" won Herron a "Best Jazz Album of the Year" Na Hoku Hanohano Award for 2017. The award is the Hawaiian version of a Grammy.
"Wolf" by Maggie Herron
The song opens in a classic jazz flare of horns. The lyrics tell a simple story about a girl named "Red" who is approached by a wolf on her way to Grandma's house. Except, Wolf is a potential suitor. Red has to decide quick if his intentions are good or not, and the story ends in a cliffhanger.
Herron's clever songwriting posits the wolf as a "handsome hound," and his pursuit of ladies such as Red "is not his first time around." The very adult treatment of the fairytale adds interest.
The song is all jazz, no fusion. The notes are big, brassy and bright. They take their cues from Herron once the vocals start. Herron's alto is perfectly rich and smoky. It never gets weighed down or lacks air. Horns cry and punctuate Herron's words, which pulls audiences into the storyline. The upright bass reminds listeners of the potential menace. The drums thump and shimmer, but this is classic jazz, so they never go off-kilter. The saxophone solo sounds right midway the song. "Wolf" is perfect jazz for dancing. The song's mix of dynamics gets listeners' attention, and the horn-rich soundscape and intriguing tale holds audiences rapt. "Wolf" is a great song that survives the scrutiny of several spins.

Pioneering Real-time Impact Monitoring and Evaluation in small and medium enterprises
The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI), PUM Netherlands Senior Experts, Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and the Erasmus School of Economics (ESE) have a partnership to design a credible and real-time system of impact monitoring.
The PRIME research team has conducted the first mission for the case study on private sector support in the Information Technology (IT) sector in Bangladesh in June 2014.
Sector Choice
The first step of the case study was the conducting of a feasibility study to determine which sector in Indonesia was most suitable to conduct the case studies. Given the number scope of the activities of both CBI and PUM in ITC, this sector emerged as the most suitable sector for the case study. A desk-study on the sector was conducted. Subsequently, various telephone interviews were conducted with the PUM and CBI managers involved with the activities in this sector in Bangladesh.
The next step was the selection of companies. Based on the list of firms supported by CBI and PUM in the period 2010-2014 a selection of companies was made on the basis of diversity in activities (covering both aquaculture and fishery sectors) as well as geographical clustering (in order to facilitate the visiting of the firms within the short timeframe of the field mission). In addition, a number of non-supported firms were contacted to be interviewed to obtain insights in the comparability of supported and non-supported firms, selection into the programs and other aspects of the processes and mechanisms underlying the impact of the activities. These 'comparison group' SMEs were selected and contacted through the local PUM and CBI representatives.
Overview Economy & IT sector Bangladesh
Bangladesh is the world's eighth-most populous country with over 160 million inhabitants. An estimated 31.5% of the population lives below the poverty line (source: World Bank). This percentage has been steadily declining in recent decades. Bangladesh has a capitalist economy. In 2013, GDP/capita was $900. Contribution to the GDP of three key sectors is as follows: 19% agriculture, 30% industry, 51% services. The largest service sector is the production of garment, which is also by far the largest export sector. Key destinations for export are Europe and the U.S, with Asia gaining share in recent years. Around 6% of exports are services, of which between 25-35% information technology exports. Europe is increasingly becoming Bangladesh' largest export destination.
Although still small in absolute size, the IT service sector in Bangladesh has been growing rapidly in the past 20 years. The Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) was established in 1997 with 17 members and has grown to 326 members in 2009. According to a recent BASIS study there are over 800 IT companies in Bangladesh as well as several hundred of unregistered and home-based software ventures. The sector employs over 30.000 people[1]. Internet penetration in Bangladesh has risen from 3% in 2009 to over 20% in 2012 (wiki). Around 5% of households have a computer and of these most have access to internet (World Bank ICT factbook). The Bangladesh government expects that the IT sector will add over 7% to GDP growth in 2021. Expenditures in the IT sector, such as computer hardware, software, networks systems, data processing systems and communications services, were estimated to be around 9% of GDP in 2008 (World Bank[2]).
The first mission took place between December 8-17, 2014. For the first mission we have chosen to focus on SMEs in the region of Dhaka, where the vast majority of ITC firms are located. During this mission 12 SMEs – both supported and supported – as well as various key sector stakeholders (including ITC, WB/LITC, BASIS, Dutch Embassy) were interviewed on a range of topics such as: (i) how firms got into the programs, (ii) how support from CBI and PU was integrated in the organization, (iii) which factors influenced the success with which SMEs could apply the support to the benefit of their organization. The interviews were planned by- and conducted jointly with a local consultant with expertise in the ITC sector in Bangladesh. In addition, a stakeholder conference organized by the sector organization BASIS & CBI was attended during the beginning of the mission.
The research team is exploring possibilities co-funding a sector wide study which is to be implemented in Q3 2015 by the Bangladesh IT-sector organization BASIS. The aim of this study would be to collect detailed data on the characteristics and performance of all SMEs in the IT-sector, including both those firms supported by CBI & PUM (and other development organizations) as well as firms not exposed to these programs.. A second mission will be in 2016 to explore and deepen observations from the first mission and explore enablers and barriers of effectiveness of the support activities. The overall case study analysis will be done late early 2017, followed by a verification workshop to present and discuss the findings.

Summer is upon us, and with it, long, hot days at fairs, festivals, and events. Here are five simple tips to keep you and your little one as cool as possible on your summertime babywearing adventures!
Be mindful of the sun! Stay in the shade when possible, cover up with hats, leggings, and sunscreen, and make sure that newborns especially get a break from the heat regularly - the tiniest among us aren't able to regulate their temperatures as easily as older children and adults, so be especially mindful.
Keeping a thin layer of cotton between you and baby can help keep everyone a little less sweaty and sticky - try a crew neck t-shirt for an easy layer of protection.
With older toddlers and kiddos, a cooling pack or cloth can be placed in the cargo pocket to provide a little extra relief - both the CarryOn Air and the COMPLETE Airflow feature our signature zippered pocket. Cooling cloths can also be worn on your neck or shoulders. Do not use cooling products where they may come into contact with newborns and young infants.
Switch it up! Take turns with a partner carrying little ones, or switch to a hip or back carry if your baby is old enough - moving everyone around can help remind you to take breaks and give everyone a chance to cool down, and back or hip carries can be a bit cooler than chest to chest when appropriate.
Wishing you a cool, active, and love-filled summer!

Crostwitz, en haut-sorabe: Chrósćicy, est une commune rurale de Saxe (Allemagne), située dans l'arrondissement de Bautzen, dans le district de Dresde. Le village en lui-même compte 591 habitants, et l'ensemble de la commune, 1 069 habitants (recensement du 31 décembre 2010). Plus de 84 % des habitants en 2001 y parlaient encore le haut-sorabe.

Géographie
Crostwitz se trouve à 12 kilomètres à l'est de Kamenz en Haute-Lusace. Il est traversé par le ruisseau Satkula qui se jette dans la rivière Klosterwasser (affluent de l'Elster Noire) un peu plus au nord. Son point culminant est le Galgenberg (210 m).

Plusieurs petits hameaux sont intégrés à la commune en plus du village de Crostwitz. Il s'agit de Caseritz/Kozarcy (44 habitants); Horka/Hórki (286 habitants); Kopschin/Kopšin (22 habitants); Nucknitz/Nuknica (59 habitants) et Prautitz/Prawoćicy (74 habitants).

Histoire
On a retrouvé les vestiges d'un lieu fortifié slave (venus au  ) à côté du hameau de Koptschin. L'endroit est le domaine d'un seigneur, Henricus de Crostiz, en 1225. L'église paroissiale de Crostwitz a depuis le  une grande signification pour cette région comprise entre Panschwitz/Pančicy, Storcha/Baćoń et Rosenthal/Róžant. La plupart des autres églises sont construites postérieurement.

Le village faisait partie au Moyen Âge des domaines de l'abbaye cistercienne St. Marienstern fondée au  à Kuckau. Ses habitants ont refusé de passer à la Réforme protestante au  et sont demeurés catholiques. Une procession à cheval, l'Osterreiter, a lieu tous les ans à Pâques et rejoint l'abbaye en passant par plusieurs villages. C'est un événement religieux et identitaire fort suivi.

La région a été le théâtre fin avril 1945 d'une terrible bataille de chars, la bataille de Bautzen, entre la Wehrmacht, l'Armée rouge et la  populaire polonaise.

Église
La région a été christianisée par saint Bennon de Meissen. L'église du village est consacrée à saint Simon et à saint Jude-Thadée. L'édifice actuel, construit en style baroque sur les fondations de l'église du , date de 1769-1771 et a été consacré par , natif de l'endroit.

The Mississippi — America's greatest river
The name of America's greatest river, the Mississippi, is made from two American Indian words: misi (great) and sipi (water). It is 3,778 km long and flows from the US state of Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Its tributary, the Missouri River, is 3,767 km, and together they form the largest river system in the world.
Hundreds of years ago, Native Americans lived along the 'Father of the Waters' and used the river for trade and travel.
The first Europeans to reach the river were Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto and his party in 1541.
Until 1803 the Mississippi River was the western boundary of the United States; the land beyond belonged to France and Spain. The French controlled a large territory known as Louisiana (after King Louis XIV of France). The ruler of France at this time was Napoleon, and Americans were afraid that he might send French soldiers and settlers to Louisiana. President Thomas Jefferson decided to buy the land. Luckily, Napoleon was about to go to war with Britain and needed money. For fifteen million dollars he sold Louisiana to the United States!
The Mississippi River starts at Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota. It is a pristine, sparkling place, and the waters from which it comes are very clear and cold. The river is so narrow here that you can walk across it in 15 steps.
The river becomes quite large by the time it reaches the Twin Cities — Minneapolis and St Paul. Minneapolis is on one side of the Mississippi River and St Paul is on the other side.
The city of St Louis was known as the 'Gateway to the West', and its Gateway Arch is a symbol of this. It's the tallest monument in America.
America's greatest river
Hannibal is just a little town on the Mississippi River but it is known all over America. Young Sam Clemens (Mark Twain) lived here from 1844 until 1853. People say that many characters in his books were copied from the boys and girls he knew in his childhood. The Mississippi captured Mark Twain's heart, and even influenced his pen name. Samuel Clemens took this name from the call of the men on the steamboats as they marked the depth of the water with the words mark twain. Mark Twain means 'we are in safe water.' Mark Twain created a work called "Life on the Mississippi". He named the river «the world's first cheat» because its route is very tortuous and unpredictable.
The great Mississippi River ends in the Gulf of Mexico after travelling the full length of the United States. Around its mouth grew New Orleans, the home of jazz and one of the most unusual cities in the US.
Plain Mississippi River has a very turbulent character: heavy floods occur in spring. So, the biggest flood that led to the disaster happened in 1927. It was called the «Great Flood». Great floods also occurred in 1993 and in May 2011.
Flood in 2011
The river forms St. Anthony waterfall, which is depicted on the emblem of the State of Minnesota.
