yield up her independence to a foreign state! Immediately, England, France, Russia and Italy, feeling the impending danger, used every effort to prevent the striking of a match that should kindle a fire in Europe that might consume civilization itself I Austria and Germany alone refused to even negotiate for a settlement of the grave affair. Serbia at the urgent request of all the great nations in Europe, humiliated herself to the la^t degree. She acccpted every demand except the one requiring her to be a vassal of Austria, and this she did not refuse but asked for more explicit instructions as to what Austria really wished. At once Austria commenced to mobilize to send her army into Serbia. Then, Russia, the big brother of all the Slavs,the natural protector of Serbia, served notice on Austria that she would protect Serbia, England called upon Germany to help settle the trouble over Serbia with Austria, and asked all the European nations to help, and all but Austria and Germany at once met the request of England and did their best to avert the impending calamity. At the last moment, on July 31st, Austria yielded to the pleadings and thrcatcnings of Russia and Europe and consented to reopen the case. Thereupon, Germany spoke honestly for the first and last time, and demanded that Russia should cease her preparations for war within twenty-four hours or Germany would act.

"Responsibility Fixed."

The twenty-four hours passed by and Germany declared war on Russia. The whole responsibility of this war is fixed by


the public documents that passed between the nations for the twelve days following the 23rd day of July. There is no excuse for any human being who wishes to be right to make the slightest mistake as to the responsibility for the present war. No sane person, not moved by blood, by sympathy or by hate, can doubt for a moment but what this war was made in Germany; and all the horrors of the great struggle are rightfully upon her head.

Almost in the twinkling of an eye, the mighty army of the Kaiser was mobilized, and, on the 2nd of September, reached Belgian soil. Germany frad demanded that Russia demobilize, and on its refusal, declared war on Russia. But,

Instead of sending her mighty army east to Russia,she sent it west through peaceful, defenseless Belgium, whose neutrality she had guaranteed.

The story of the first few days of this terrible struggle must be fresh in the minds of all. We remember how the world stood aghast at the impending calamity. We watched while Germany mobilized its vast army, the greatest machine for war that the world has ever known—a machine fifty years in the making, and thoroughly equipped to the last detail for its bloody work—the greatest instrument of force and violence and murder that the sun ever shone upon. We watched while this German army reached the Belgian border and asked the young, devoted, patriotic King of Belgium to let it pass in pcace on its mad way to France. We heard King Albert reply:


murder machine that had no thought that there was any power on earth that could compass its defeat.

This great Germany army is now slowly going back to the Fatherland, and the world cannot help rejoicing that the soldiers do not sing as they return! We watched this mighty host while the devoted French rallied to protect their native land* while England sent its "contemptible little army" to help. We watched them on their mad rush for Paris. We saw the French patriots rally, and under the great Joffre, turn back the invaders at the Marne. And the world rejoiced that for a time at least this blind and cruel force was stayed.

We listened to the boasting of the Kaiser as he urged his pawns to give their livesfor the Fatherland! We listened to his disgustingly familiar talks of God, as if God, too, was made in Germany. We heard him prate of his love for the Fatherland. He loved the Fatherland more than he loved his people. The Germans' talk of the Fatherland has a certain appeal for all. I respect it so deeply that I would be glad to sec every able-bodied man outside Germany arm himself with sabre and gun and help drive the German army back to its beloved Fatherland.

"Felt Desperation."

After the defeat at the Marne, the German army dug itself in to prevent annihilation. A long series of indecisive months passed by until Germany felt the desperation of her case, and turned to the sea. Before this time England's fleet had


driven the German ships from the ocean. Her men-of-war and ships of commerce had found safe refuge in her own and the neutral harbors of the world. There was only one way that she could make war on the seas and that was by the submarine. She built her submarines and sent them out on the ocean beneath the waves to attack ships of war and ships of commerce alike, and destroy them without a chance to save the life of a single human being, or to save a dollar's worth of property.

Germany knew about the sailing of the Lusitania from New York Harbor, a boat of commercc unarmed, and carrying some fifteen hundred passengers, more than one hundred and fifty American men, women and children, bound ona peaceful voyage which they had the right to take under all the rules of war. She watched this ship as it sailed out into the Atlantic and at the proper time she fired a torpedo, sinking the ship and giving no passenger or member of the crew a chance to save their lives. The civilized world stood aghast at this dastardly deed, while Germany decorated the commander of tiie submarine.

Letters and protests followed. Germany finally admitted this act and half-way promised that this unforgivable violation of the laws of humanity and the laws of war should not occur again.

Had an English submarine been guilty of such an atrocity, the American people with one voice would have cried for

war and no protest of Congress or the President could


have * held our hands. Germany's promises, like her guarantee of Belgium's neutrality, were made only to be broken. Again and again, she sunk neutral ships and destroyed American lives. Again and again our demands were made until finally. Germany promised that no more ships should be sunk without giving passengers and seamen a safe place to land. For some time Germany kept her word, until finally in her desperation she served notice upon the United States, that after the first day of February, 1917, every boat, whether man-of-war or ship of commerce, whether bearing passengers or freight, should be sunk without notice and without a chance to save a human life. She, however, graciously granted the right of America to sail one ship a week to Europe,loaded in a certain way and going down a certain lane and painted in a manner designated by the German government. These rights Germany granted to a great, proud, free government upon the Atlantic— no, the German ocean. And yet, after the first day of February, there were men and women in America who said that we had no cause for war! Let us examine this question in the light of such International Law as we have, and in the light of such humanity as Prussia has left us after almost four years of war.

"Seat are Free."

The seas are the great highways of the nations. They are free for the trade and commerce of any lands whose shores touch the water. The United States has more coast line


than any other nation. We are a commercial people, whose trade touches every countiy in the world; whose citizens travel to every port on earth, and have used the seas for commerce ever since America became an independent nation among the other countries of the earth. We were told by Germany that we could no longer sail the seas.

The attack of Germany upon the Lusitania and other ships of commerce was not warfare; it was murder and piracy upon the high seas. What was the duty of the United States? We were then an independent nation of one hundred million souls; stronger than, at least, twice over, than Germany; ten times richer than Germany; so far removed from Germany

that we did not need to fear it nor anyof non-combatants upon the ocean, without giving at least the last right which belongs to all, the right of surrender. But Germany decreed that the lives of men, the lives of women and the lives of defenseless babies might be taken to satisfy their mad thirst for power. .

Pacifists and pro-Germans have freely criticised the President of the United States for leading his people into war. Had the President of the United States taken orders from the German Kaiser, he would have been unfaithful to his office, and unworthy of the respect and devotion of the great people whom he serves! It illy becomes any American to criticise the President in this great crisis. The United States never had a greater, wiser, more patriotic President than Woodrow Wilson,


God! Since this war began, Austria has been in a receiver's hands, obeying not her own rulers, but the Prussian king. Germany has gained two allies; gained them by her frightfulness, by her money, by her intrigue! Bulgaria, whose German king betrayed her Slavic people, and Turkey, already the vassal of Germany before the war began. Germany ought to be proud of Turkey, but then, she should be able to stand it if Turkey can. Why is it that the whole world today is united against Germany? It is united because of her unrighteous stab against the freedom of man, because of her frightfulness, because of her violation of all the rules of war—because of these, she has become an outlaw among the nations of the earth.

Germany's excusesthat your grandfather was a pickpocket, too. Whatever England may have been in the days of her growth and aggression, she is another England now. The England of the Tories has no semblance to the England of today. The Prime Minister of Britain, who guides her destinies, is as wise, as humane, as democratic as Abraham Lincoln or Woodrow Wilson.

I am aware that America has fought England more than any other foreign foe, and for years our politicians have abused England to round a period or catch a vote. I know too much of the history of Britain and the history of the United States, not to rcspect the greatness and inherent worth of England. For two hundred years she has been mistress of the sea; for seventy-five


years at least, she has allowed every vessel and every pound of commerce to freely enter England from any nation on the earth; and while she has been mistress of the waves she has protected and defended the freedom of the seas. I know that in spite of all her faults, England has stood for at least .a hundred years as the world's greatest defender of the individual rights of men. It is not for America to condemn England from whom we drew our laws, our language, our institutions and the deep devotion for civil and religious liberty which have placed us amongst the freest people in the world. England, that entered this war, not for glory or for conquest, but to fight with France for the rightto live upon the earth; England, who has pledged her last dollar and all her sons to defend the world against a ruthless military power; England, whose mighty fleet through the summer heat and the winter cold, in the day and night, has silently patrolled all the seas of the earth and defended her liberties and ours, while we slept; England, today, is our ally. And, he, who in this war, condemns our allies, is guilty of moral treason to the United States.

And what of Belgium? Where is the human heart that does not beat quicker at the thought of Belgium? Belgium, the Arnold Winkelreid of this great war; Belgium that met

12

the invading German hosts and held their sabers fast in her bleeding heart until France and England


could rally to save the liberties of man I I had rather be the young King of Belgium, looking over a devastated empire with its ruined provinces, its burning cities, its stricken people, and know that I had kept the faith, than be the ruler of the greatest and richest nation on the earth*

"What of France?"

And what of France? Is there any American or any human being on the earth who does not love France ? France, the beautiful, the gay; France, of song and poetry and sculpture, and of every art that enriches life; France of joy and of laughter; France, who gave the world the philosophers of the 18th century who pointed the way to human freedom and human rights; France, from whose devoted land camethat pure stream of democracy which quenched the fires of bigotry and superstition and fertilized the waste places of the earth. France left her theatres and her boulevards; her shops and her stores; forgot her music and her gaiety and love of life, and, at the bugle's call, calmly, heroically, faithfully and without complaint or boast, offered herself to save the world, France, who almost lost her life, but who saved her soul. And, what is France to America? France, not our mother but our midwife; France, who gave her money and her blood that our Republic might be born. I have faith to believe that if there were no other reason for this war, that in these dark days of glorious France, we would repay her for


are not against America, the import of all he says is to aid Germany against America and its allies in the war. Pacificism is a religious and philosophical theory which has no relation to life and no practical place in the world of today. Whether it can be realized in a million years is a matter that might afford an interesting discussion, but so long as there is any such human nature as is now incident to man, non-resistance is a theory and all people witfh red blood in their veins will protect their right, when need be, by force.

Pacifists' Excuses.

The pacifists' excuses for Germany have been many. They excuse Germany's submarine warfare on the ground that England was starving Germany. Before Germany broke the peace of theworld she knew the rules of war; she knew that she had a right to fight men-of-war on the seas, either by warships or by submarines; she knew that she had no right to sink ships of commerce and destroy the lives of non-combatants without the chance of escape. Starvation gave no cxcusc. Starvation is a well-established means of war. In the days of the Rebellion the North blockaded Southern ports and starved the South into surrender. In 1871 Germany drew her armies around Paris, denying her people the chance to get food. Paris pleaded for the right to let her women and children go outside the gates and be fed. Germany replied that they should "fry in their own fat." Paris was starved and surrendered, and in


no money, and no land, but that she will use her power and influence in the world to have a righteous settlement in the end.

Working for Germany*

Those who oppose this war are working for the most despotic, arbitrary government that the civilized world has known. A government whose Kaiser openly says to his people that he owes no allegiance to any power except his German god. He, of all the monardhs of the western world, openly professes to believe in the divine right of kings as against the divine right of man. I have no idea that the Lord ever whispered any wisdom into the ear of the German Kaiser. When He speaks the world can understand, and if He has any message to give to any specialking or potentate on earth, I am quite sure that in the presence of the terrible calamity that afflicts the world He would not whisper it in the German tongue.

The divine right of kings belongs to the dead and buried past; and when this war is done no ruler in Europe or America will ever again claim any God-given right to do with his people as he will. He who pretends to obey only the will of God, obeys his own. The Kaiser is not the mouth-piece of God to express the Almighty's will; but the Kaiser puts his own will and commands into the mouth of God I

The future world will be ruled by men. It will he ruled by the living, not the dead! It will


free liberty will be preserved. When they are blind or sodden, or insane from any cause, liberty can not survive.

Peace Not War.

Times of war are not times of sanity and cannot be. The rules of war are not the rules of peace. Before America joined in this fight any American citizen had a clcar right to choose his side. But today we are at war. It cannot be thought that anyone in America could recruit a German army in the United States! This would be to strike a blow against our common country. It can no more be thought that an American may indirectly aid Germany against his native land; and whether the law is this or that, our boys at the front, and when the news ofthe death toll shall come home to us, those who are suffering the losses and bearing the burdens will not permit disloyal people to fight us at home. When the written law of a country fails, men make their own laws as they go along and the history of every warring country and the history of ours, in the American Revolution, and the War of the Rebellion, shows conclusively that all men alike will act to-

gether in times of stress and trouble whether supported by law or not. And he, who, today gives aid and comfort to the enemy, however indirectly, is playing with fire. It is for those who love liberty of specch and the press, who believe in it as one of the corner stones of


are earnestly working for PATRIOTIC EDUCATION AND UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING AND SERVICE.

All those who believe in forwarding its work are earnestly urged to support it and aid in securing new members.not pray a divorce. The case was heard by the Chancellor in open court.
*218 The parties were married in 1931. As he was earning a very small salary they lived in the home of her parents at 2607 East Oliver Street, occupying a room on the second floor. Her father died shortly afterwards. In 1935 her younger sister was married and also lived with her husband on the second floor. In 1940, the parties rented a house at 1341 Luzerne Avenue and moved there with their two children, one of whom, a girl, had been born in 1934, and a boy in 1937. They resided there for about a year and a half, but were unable to live within their means. He was working for a laundry company


as a salesman, but lost his job as a result of shortages for which he was held responsible. At his suggestion they moved back to her mother's home. Conditions there were very crowded, as the sister and her husband occupied the second floor which they had converted into an apartment. The only sleeping quarters for the parties, their two children and her mother were the living room and dining room. During this period they paid no rent as they were paying off their debts.
In 1943, the husband went into the Navy where he served until 1946. For a time he was stationed in San Francisco and wanted her to join him there. However, he provided no funds, had no living quarters there, and she did not wish tomove the children under the circumstances. He wrote her several affectionate letters during this period. When he returned from service, they continued to live with her mother under the same crowded conditions, although he obtained permanent employment with the Post Office and was earning a gross salary which increased from $2,800 to about $3,700 a year at the time of the trial. He slept on a day bed in the living room, where she occasionally joined him, she says, whenever he asked her. The wife slept with her mother in the dining room, where the children also slept on day beds. During this period the husband suffered from a nervous condition; in 1948 he was hospitalized for suspected ulcers.
*219 The parties separated on August 17, 1949 under the


following circumstances. They had been to Betterton for a vacation with the children. She testified he seemed moody and apathetic, but otherwise their relations were pleasant and normal. On their return, he had words with his mother-in-law, who sided with the wife when he tried to discipline the younger child. The next day he came home late in the evening; the next morning he said he was leaving. The wife urged him to think it over. He took his clothes and left, after giving her a lawyer's card. He admitted he had been to see the lawyer before the trip to Betterton. He never returned, but sent her $25.00 a week. Suit was filed by him two years later.
His explanation is that he left because he could nottolerate the crowded conditions and the domination of the mother-in-law. These conditions, of course, were largely of his own creation, within his power to correct, and not grounds for divorce. He testified he had previously tried to obtain a home of his own, apparently shortly after he returned from service, but the wife refused to leave her mother. This was flatly denied by the wife. She said they had often discussed obtaining more adequate quarters, but he wanted something far beyond their means. After the previous experience in a rented house, and the expense of the children, she refused to buy a house beyond their means. She did look for a house and selected one she though suitable, but he would not even look at it. He said


he would not live in a row house or an apartment.
At the close of the testimony the chancellor delivered an oral opinion. He discounted the testimony about the refusal of the wife to move to San Francisco, and other events prior to his return from service. He commented on the fact that the wife had testified at the trial that she wanted a reconciliation and was willing to move to any home the husband could provide commensurate with his income. He urged the parties to meet privately and talk it over, while he held the case sub curia. If reconciliation *220 proved to be impossible, he said: "I will just have to make up my mind who to believe, Mr. Smoot or Mrs. Smoot. To put it againin a nutshell Mr. Smoot said he wanted to buy a home and have a home and she refused to leave her mother. She says she realized the situation there was not right. She wanted to have her own home but all Mr. Smoot ever did was talk about it, never actually got out and produced. If I believe Mr. Smoot, there certainly was ground for his leaving. No husband should be required to sleep over a period of years on a day bed in a parlor if he is willing and able to provide a home for his family. He is certainly entitled to have his wife in the bedroom with him and have the privacy that every married couple is entitled to. On the other hand,


would not let her in. In March, 1950, he came to see his son who was ill. The boy said: "Daddy, if you want a home for us why don't you get a home? We need one." The wife said if he would get a home she would come and bring the children. He said: "I wish you were common then I could take the children." The daughter, seventeen years old at the time of the trial, corroborated this, and testified she also begged her father to get a home for them. He said he "had no use for" her mother. So far from denying *222 this testimony, Mr. Smoot testified: "I realized then there was no reconciliation." The daughter was employed at the time of trial andThe capital will soon have a mega-tourist circuit for which the Centre has sanctioned Rs 8.14 crore.

The proposed tourist circuit envisages, among others things, renovation of two major roads in Old Town area, construction of a ‘parikrama’ around Lingaraj temple, soft-lighting for eight protected monuments and two tourism interpretation centres.

While the tourism department is trying to revive Ekamreswar, the miniature temple of Lord Lingaraj near Lingaraj police station, a dedicated road corridor will be constructed to link Puri, the Old Town area and Khandagiri via Dhauli.

Moreover, a 3,000-seater amphitheatre will be constructed opposite Madhusudan Park at Pokhariput.

… Samal spoke to reporters after the heritage walk, which was held today as part of World Tourism Day function.

The circuit will aim at facilitating various cultures as the city is perhaps


area, the side walls of various buildings and structures will be decorated with tiles of red laterite stones. The concept has already been adopted in various western cities and states such as Rajasthan. …

The mega circuit will also emphasise on infrastructure development to connect various sites of Buddhist and Jain religious interests. Other than central assistance, there is also a plan to develop a road connecting Gangua nullah (through its right embankment) to the historical Kapileswar village. Another road will link Ganesh Ghat near Dhauli Peace Pagoda with the Jatni Kapilaprasad Road.

According to the pre-feasibility report, the state government will spend more than Rs 30 crore on the two proposed roads.

“These two roads will connect Dhauli with Khandagiri and the travellers and tour operators need not take theon archeological, architectural, sculptural and historical importance, the selected structures, identified by the state archeology department, would be taken up under the World Bank funded Rs 227.64-crore Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project.

… The structures identified to get a face lift under the scheme included Potagarh (Buried Fort), located on the bank of river Rushikulya in Ganjam town which stands as a mute witness to the vicissitudes of history in Orissa.

Preservation of ancient monuments under the project will include their protection, structural conservation, chemical conservation, landscaping and maintainance from time to time.

… The officials of the Gujarat and West Bengal projects along with a World Bank team visited various places including Ganjam and Kendrapada districts in the state recently to review the implementation of the project. Project Director of


ICZM (Orissa) AK Pattnaik briefed the team about various steps taken under the project and their progress. The scheme, whose tenure spans from 2010 to 2015, is being implemented in two coastal stretches: Paradeep to Dhamara and Gopalpur to Chilika.

Orissa got its first private software technology park Tuesday. Built on the outskirts of state capital Bhubaneswar by city-based JSS Group, the venture was inaugurated by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

The JSS Software Technology Park has a built-up area of about 55,000 square feet and can accommodate about 1,000 IT (Information Technology) professionals, Bijoy K. Sahoo, Chairman of the JSS group told IANS.

The eight-floor building constructed with an investment of Rs.10 crore in the first phase has ready-to-move-in facilities, Sahoo said, adding that two companies have already allotted space andthey have begun their operations from today (Tuesday).

JSS has planned to invest Rs.70 crore (Rs.700 million) in the second phase that is scheduled to complete in the next 24 months. The total built up area of the project after second phase expansion would be two lakh square feet, he said.

Chilika Lake

Chilika Lake (also called Chilka lake) is a brackish water coastal lake in India`s Orissa state, south of the mouth of the Mantei River.
The area of the lake varies from 1165 km sq. in the monsoon season to 906 km sq. in the dry season,and is studded with numerous small islands. The lake is an important habitat and breeding ground for both
resident and migratory and aquatic birds, most notably flamingoes.
The lake was formed due to the silting action of the Mantei River
which drains into the northern end of the lake, and the northerly
currents in the Bay of Bengal, which have formed a sandbar along the eastern shore leading to the formation of a shallow lagoon.
The main attractions inside the lake are Kalijai Island, Honeymoon Island, Breakfast Island, Birds Island, Nalabana (Island of Reeds) and Parikud Island.

The Other Five sites in Orissa:

Olive Ridley Sea Turtles

Found in the Indian Ocean along the Bay of Bengal is Orissa. Average weight of the turtles is just over 100 lb (up to 50 kgs). They have a


high-domed shell, with a carapace length of only 30 inches (70 cms). Olive Ridleys are omnivorous, feeding on crabs, shrimp, rock lobsters, sea grasses, snails, fish, sessile, pelagic tunocates and small invertebrates. The Orissa coast is one of the three sites worldwide where mass nesting of the olive ridley turtle occurs. This sea turtle is especially known for its mass nesting when several thousand turtles migrate to the breeding ground to mate and nest simultaneously. Hindu mythology worships sea turtles as an incarnation of one their gods. Over the past five years, sea turtles have suffered mass mortality along the Orissa coast due to death by drowning as incidental catch in trawl- fishing nets. About 5000 to 10,000 dead turtles have been washed ashore each year, a totalof over 100,000 in the last ten years.

Sitabinji Caves

Situated on River Sita, 30 km from Keonjhar. The structure is like a half opened umbrella. It depicts a royal procession.
It has gained prominence for the ancient fresco painting on a rock shelter called “Ravan Chhaya”.

Khandadhar Waterfall is located amidst the forest of Sundergarh (specific location is Nandapani). The Khandadhar Falls is categorized as a horsetail waterfall. The falls appear to be located on a smaller watercourse, though are said to be perennial.
During the monsoon months the water from the Koprani Nala, a rivulet, overflows and it drops down as a fall from a height of 800 feet.
This waterfall because of its height is visible from a distance of about 5 kilometres.

Located 15 km from Sambalpur, Orissa. The Hirakud Dam


is built across the Mahanadi River, about 15 km from Sambalpur in the state of Orissa in India. The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants. Hirakund dam is about 4.8 km long, bordered by earthen dykes on its left as well as right. Built in 1956, the dam is the world`s largest earthen dam. The dam helps control floods in the Mahanadi delta and irrigates 7,500,000 hectares of land. Hirakud dam was the first post- independence river valley project in India.

Sleeping Vishnu Temple

The sleeping statue of Lord Vishnu is situated in Bhimkund, at a distance of about 28 kilometres from Talcher. The sleeping image of Vishnu at Bhimkund is second only to Gomateswar (Karnataka) in size. It has thehonour of being the largest sleeping image in India.
In spite of its magnanimity, image contains a natural softness. The period of its creation is believed to be 8th-9th century AD.

Union tourism minister Ambika Soni has identified 20 top tourist destinations in the country, with an eye on wooing the potential foreign and domestic tourists. Under this new initiative, financial assistance up to Rs 25 crores would be provided for development of a mega destination and Rs 50 crore for a mega circuit. Apart from this financial assistance, ministry of tourism is also working with other Central ministries and concerned state governments to achieve convergence and synergy with other government programmes, so that the impact of investment on these destinations is maximised.

The scheme is being made possible in collaboration with the State?s income tax department to bring individuals closer to birds and animals apart from bringing transparency in the administrative activities.

"The basic objective is to bring people closer to the captive animals and birds??one is that of course it generates some earnings which give you an option and space for better management. At the same time, it gives a kind of insight on how the animals are reared," said Ajit Kumar Patnaik, Director, Nandankanan Zoo.

Though the novel scheme is a first of its kind in Orissa, the credit for initiating the novel scheme goes to the authorities at Mysore and Lucknow zoos where even schoolchildren are encouraged to adopt animals.

The scheme, which has motivatedhas been declared a sanctuary.

Famed for its white tiger population, Nandankanan, or the ‘Garden of Gods’, has become a hot family favourite, with visitors getting an excellent opportunity to enjoy seeing these regal animals in their natural glory.

Over 67 kinds of mammals, 18 varieties of reptiles and 81 species of birds co-exist in the deeply forested boundaries.

Nandankanan Zoological garden has many birds in enclosed aviaries. But besides that, the nearby lakes and water bodies and the forest like environment also attracts large number of free birds and many nest in those areas. Tathya has a nice article and couple of nice pictures on it. Following is Samjaja’s take on it, which Samaja attributes to Tathya.

Under the guise of nondiscrimination, Yale Law School has announced it will blatantly discriminate. A student is barred from aid if she works at a synagogue that gives preference to Jewish applicants, but not if she works at an organization that peddles anti-Semitism yet hires all comers. A graduate is blocked from funding if she works for the Christian Legal Society, but not if she works for the Freedom from Religion Foundation. And a graduate is not eligible to receive loan assistance if she is a professor at Brigham Young University, but is eligible if she works for Berkeley.

Yale Law School, under the leadership of Dean Gerken, has adopted policies of overt religious discrimination. Those who value religious toleration and intellectual diversity must stand upPhysical therapist, baseball player

A Petaluma physical therapist for more than 40 years, Theo "Ted" Adkins Jr. got his start in the field of athletics as a professional baseball player who was inducted into the California All Star Team's Baseball Hall of Fame.

Mr. Adkins died on Jan. 3, 2014 at the age of 85.

Born in Greeneville, Miss., Mr. Adkins grew up in the lumber mill community of Tuolumne, where he was a star athlete, earning him a full athletic scholarship to the College of the Pacific in Stockton.

During his college career, he excelled in football, basketball and boxing, but his favorite sport was baseball. He was chosen captain of the California All Star Team, and later was inducted into its Baseball Hall of Fame. He also


developed lifetime friendships with his Rho Lambda Phi (Rhizomia) Fraternity Brothers.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1951, Mr. Adkins signed on with the Pittsburg Pirates as one of the few left handed first basemen in professional baseball. At one time, he had a better batting average than Mickey Mantle.

His baseball career was interrupted by military commitment, but luckily while serving as a lieutenant, he had the opportunity to play and manage its baseball team, which included some of America's best ball players. Mr. Adkins also assisted the team doctor, finding it extremely interesting and enjoyable to help his teammates recover from injuries. The doctor eventually encouraged him to consider the field of physical therapy.

Upon being discharged from the military, he resumed his career with the Pirates, butafter a few years, when they wanted him to move and manage the "Hollywood Stars," he wondered if it was time to "hang -#8216;em up," even though his friend and teammate, Chuck Conners, assured him that they would get into the movies. Mr. Adkins, however, decided to go back to school to earn a degree in physical therapy.

After completion, he moved to Santa Rosa to work for Welch - Techmeyer, and in 1958 married one of his college sweethearts, Gwen Shepherd. The couple moved to Petaluma in 1966, where Mr. Adkins established his own private physical therapy practice, which lasted almost 40 years.

In 1970, Gwen designed a home around a rock quarry in West Petaluma.

Mr. Adkins was very active in the community, serving as presidents of the 20/30


Club in Santa Rosa and the Petaluma Rotary Club. He was a member of the Elks Club, Masonic Lodge, Santa Rosa Scottish Rite, and Sons in Retirement.

He was an assistant coach for his daughter's softball and his son's Little League Teams. Having been born with a great tenor voice, he performed in several of the Harmoneer's and Harmonette's Musicals.

Mr. Adkins is survived by his children, Dana Adkins of Palm Springs and Clay Adkins of West Hollywood; and his former wife, Gwen Adkins of Santa Rosa.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11, at Parent-Sorensen Mortuary - Crematory, 850 Keokuk St.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Petaluma, 416 Payran St., Petaluma 94952.

The shorebird typically spends its first two months of the year (June/July) in the Russian Arctic, before it flies to the tropics, where it spends most of its time annually. But the Arctic isn't the bird species' only problem.

Published in academic journal "Science", researchers submitted a second problem when the birds reach their new wintering grounds in West Africa or other tropics: the case of a smaller bill. Depending on their body size, a red open is likely to have a much stronger chance of living if it has a longer bill, due toWoman with fake babies arrested on trespassing charges, speaks out

A woman who was arrested for trespassing at a local hospital while carrying life-like dolls is defending herself now. Tonya Whitney was arrested just after an exclusive interview with Action News Friday afternoon.

"I, in no way, tried impersonating a nurse," Whitney said. "I, in no way, ever thought or tried to steal a baby."

Whitney is now facing misdemeanor charges after prompting a scare at Mercy Medical Center in Merced. Police say they feared she was trying to abduct a newborn.

Whitney went to Merced police headquarters with officers, where she and her husband were interviewed. She was released with a citation. She tells Action News that carrying the life-like doll into the hospital was never meant to scare anyone.

Revisions to the international guidelines on the diagnosis and therapy of chronic urticaria.
At the end of 2012, more than 300 participants discussed and agreed on the update of the international guidelines on urticaria at the 4th International Consensus Meeting (URTICARIA 2012). Currently, the recommendations are in the final process of international coordination. In preparation for the update, questions were prepared by an expert panel; this was followed by a systematic literature search. The questions and the resulting recommendations were discussed by the participants and decided upon in an open vote. Consensus was defined as at least 75% agreement. The updated guidelines will modify and improve the currently available guidelines in various areas, especially in therapy. For the treatment of chronic urticaria, the new algorithm recommends a three-step processabout 8 1 are set to travel by air which ma Americans To Set Fourth of July Travel Record , This Fourth of July more Americans than ever before are set to travel according to a report by AAA A Americans Set Records at Millrose Games nytimes , Feb 11 2017 Ajee Wilson broke the U S record in the women s indoor 800 meters winning the event for Americans Set New Long Range World Record 5 000 , The American team led by former Navy SEAL sniper Charlie Melton and Brad Stair of Performance Guns P AAA Nearly 47 Million Americans Will Set New , ORLANDO Fla June 21 2018 A record breaking 46 9 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more away Americans meat consumption

The jab felt a bit low-energy, particularly since it came just days after Trump used his platform at the State of the Union — and the story of a 12-year-old boy who started a campaign to honor veterans’ graves — to plug his feud with NFL players who protest during the national anthem.

Trump did manage to briefly act like a normal president after the game, congratulating the Eagles without lamenting his pal Tom Brady’s loss.

KSA’s Former Guitarist Arrested While Trying To Export Cocaine!

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Saturday announced that it has made its first arrest in the year 2013. 63-year-old veteran guitarist, Fatoke Abiodun who played for the King of World Beats, King Sunny Ade for thirty years was caught on his way to Italy on New Year’s Day with 1.57 kg of cocaine.

Two parcels of cocaine were detected in the false bottom of his suitcase while passengers waiting to board an Air France flight to Italy were being screened and he was promptly arrested by operatives at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport.

The Lagos Airport Commander of the NDLEA, Hamza Umar who made the disclosure said “we have made the first arrest in the new year. The suspect, aguitarist by name Fatoke Abiodun, was found with 1.575kg of cocaine. The drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the outward screening of passengers to Italy.

While speaking on how he got involved in the illicit act, the suspect who said he could play any type of guitar disclosed that he played as a member of King Sunny Ade’s band for 30 years before he was unceremoniously retired in 2007. “I was unprepared. And without severance money, I saw the bitter side of life. This is my first time of getting involved in drug trafficking. I did it out of frustration, because at my age I could not provide for my family. I am ashamed of myself”, he said.

He continued, “I live in Ibadan with

The similarities between South American cartel tactics and those of Islamists are extensive, from the harnessing of social media and the internet for propaganda to spread beheading videos, to projecting themselves as powerful and in pursuit of a greater cause, attracting the disaffected, despairing people at the edge of society, to whom an early death seems acceptable. Criminals, addicts, or simply broken, vulnerable people are recruited into a hellish global network of brutality and greed. This is reflected in the entirely un-Islamic, recurring backstory of the recent terrorist attackers, from Orlando to London.Calcium-dependent enhancement by carbachol of the VIP-induced cyclic AMP accumulation in cat submandibular gland.
The interaction of two coexisting transmitters in the cat submandibular gland has been elucidated by studying effects of VIP and carbachol on cyclic AMP accumulation in isolated acini from the gland. Carbachol was found to potentiate the cyclic AMP increase induced by VIP by an atropine sensitive mechanism. The effect of carbachol on cyclic AMP accumulation was abolished by including EGTA in the incubation medium as was the carbachol mediated potentiation of VIP responses. The calmodulin inhibitor trifluoperazine had a similar, but less marked effect. The effect of carbachol was mimicked by phenylephrine (30 microM) and by the calcium inophore A 23187 (3 microM), and also by ethanol in a concentration reported to enhance membrane

And the music...

My vinyl buying spree continues, and I have some great recommendations.

First is Nils Frahm's album, Felt, which was a very thoughtful gift from my daughter. I really, really like this album, which was largely recorded late at night with microphones very close to the piano strings and lots of interesting ambient piano noise—really beautiful music. Like other Nils Frahm music, the vinyl comes with a download code that allows the downloading of the album in up to 96-KHz, 24-bit FLAC format.

The second is Mad Professor's remix of Massive Attack's album, Protection, titled No Protection. You can get an idea of it here, and if you would like to try out the original, here is what it's all about. Originally released in the 1990s, thisbounce and shift in their seats as they rumble through Greater Cleveland on a mid-April visit.

After hours of stumping, Brunner, 53, still manages to chat amiably with reporters about family, the woeful state of journalism, politics and her mission to become Ohio’s first female senator. She seems distracted only by her need to keep a Diet Coke upright each time the bus finds one of the countless potholes that polka-dot the early spring streets. There’s no suited staff member hanging over her shoulder, and only one request to go off the record — on a matter unrelated to Lee Fisher, her Democratic opponent in the May 4 primary.

The two candidates seek a sweet prize: a rare vacant Senate seat in a major swing state, made available thanks to


political science professor at Ohio State University, says Fisher and Brunner have stirred minimal excitement in their campaigns and left many voters knowing little about either candidate.

In the words of Akron Beacon Journal writer Dennis J. Willard: “Reporters who have covered Fisher for more than 20 years are almost hard pressed to define him.”

He is a consummate political insider with almost 30 years of experience. Now 58, Fisher won his first office — in the Ohio House of Representatives — at 29. He served as the state’s attorney general in 1991 before his ouster by Betty Montgomery four years later.

He made an unsuccessful bid for governor in 1998 and returned to work in Cleveland as the head of the non-profit Center for Families and Children. But Fisher returnedto the state scene when Strickland tapped him as his running mate in 2006.

Throughout this campaign, Fisher has gone out of his way to paint himself as a Washington outsider. In addition to being lieutenant governor, he served as Ohio’s development director until launching his Senate campaign in February 2009. He has deflected criticism about his record in that role — that he resigned without having accomplished much — and blames federal policies for a jobless rate that increased when he and Strickland took office.

“When you have federal policies that undermine what you are doing on the state level, you’ve got an obligation and a responsibility to try to change those policies,” Fisher said during a debate last week at the City Club of Cleveland.

At a campaign event


with Brunner two weeks ago in Cleveland, he sauntered into a West Side church — a bit late, judging by some awkward shifting in the event schedule — smiled, shook hands, passed out business cards and left before the festivities wound down. Perhaps to his detriment, his image seems fashioned in part by a press crew eager to screen questions and tell reporters what should or shouldn’t be printed.

Late-race tensions rise

Although the campaign has remained civil, tensions have emerged in recent weeks.

Brunner blames Fisher for her lack of funding, saying that his allies have intimidated potential donors against supporting her. (One Cleveland-area Democratic leader, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, says Fisher’s supporters have threatened to make “pariahs” out of those who openly support Brunner with money.)

Butfacts in this case are fully set forth in the opinion of the Court of Appeals and are summarized here. In his original petition filed on July 2, 1999, Cole alleged that defendants refused his request to be transferred to a cell with a nonsmoking cellmate and denied him proper medical attention after two separate altercations with his cellmate. After the first altercation, Cole required surgery on his right thumb, and after the second, he required stitches near his left eye.
Defendants successfully demurred to Cole's initial petition, as well as his first and second amended petitions. Cole then filed his operative third amended petition, which alleges tort claims and violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) and is brought against defendants in their individual capacities for monetary damages


5 Questions For Donald Trump Ahead Of His Press Conference

Enlarge this image toggle caption Drew Angerer/Getty Images Drew Angerer/Getty Images

Donald Trump hasn't held a wide-ranging press conference in 167 days. That streak is expected to be broken Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET, when Trump holds his first news conference since being elected president.

He'd tweeted 1,601 times in that time, as of midnight Wednesday.

Ironically, Trump's last news conference, in July 2016, was when he seemed to encourage Russia to "find" more of Hillary Clinton's emails. The topic of Russian hacking — and his alleged ties to the Kremlin — is sure to be Item A of Trump's press conference. That's especially true, since Trump still hasn't yet explicitly accepted the findings of the intelligence community that Russia was, infact, responsible for hacking the emails of the Democratic National Committee and a top Clinton aide — and that Russia's intent to was to get him elected.

This press conference comes nine days before Trump is set to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States and nearly a month after Trump canceled his last scheduled news conference. That one was supposed to be about how he would unwind the complex international financial entanglements of the Trump Organization to avoid a potential conflict or perceived conflict of interest. This press conference is not specifically billed to be about that, but Trump has not fully answered how he would do this, beyond tweeting that he'd hand off management to his sons.

It also comes amid the busiest week


to demand his resignation?

Context: The FBI director became the focus of bipartisan criticism for his extraordinary disclosures to Congress about the email probe as the election loomed. Traditionally, the Justice Department takes pains to avoid public action that could influence a political contest. Clinton aides have blamed Comey in part for their election loss. But Comey is only about three years into a 10-year-term, designed to insulate the FBI from political pressure during any single administration. Firing Comey could carry political risk for Trump, who may fear the former prosecutor will turn his energy toward investigating Cabinet members and the White House.

Contemporary story may seem to back up such a claim. In the post World War 11 period the syndicalist Central Organisation of Sweden’s Workers (SAC) was transformed into a bleak shadow of its former self. This carries some significance as, with the exception of the French CGT in a much earlier period, SAC is the only revolutionary union never to be brutally suppressed. Meanwhile the Wobblies of the IWW are alive and kicking, but only 900 of them; the CNT after Franco is reduced to below ten thousand members, and in the very place of its former grandeur, Catalonia, is crumbling from inner tensions; the modest growth of the French CNT and


Unione Sindicale Italiana produced passionate disputes on questions of co-option and reformism, and ended in splits; the German FAU is showing progress as far as newspaper production goes, but there is little sign of union-building; Solidarity Federation’s industrial network in U. K. consists of half a hundred members; elsewhere the situation is pretty much like in Norway where NSF has kept it going since 1976 as a small propaganda group, with currently approximately 40 members spreading the message within the corporative unions. The renewed interest in Eastern Europe has so far produced nothing more. In the early historical strongholds of anarcho-syndicalism in South and Central America, the situation is even bleaker than in Europe. The most promising sign in a long term perspective may be the reappearance ofthe advocacy of revolutionary unionism in South Africa, and for the first time in Nigeria and Sierra Leone, but any union is at this point nowhere to be seen. The general picture Ilan paints of the current state of affairs is true enough, even if one could always argue over its complete accuracy, but that would mostly be on definitions.

But to permanently shut the historical door of anarcho-syndicalism, it is not enough to empirically determine its current state, and to disclose the mechanisms within contemporary capitalism working against building such a movement in the immediate future, one would also have to deny the possibility of its re-emergence in times when the class struggle intensifies, and more workers begin believing in a world beyond capitalism. The present marginality, and


with the needs of a transition to such a society: the bridge to the organizational forms perpetually created anew within the boundaries of materiality by the needs, desires and imaginative powers of members of a free society.

We live in a world with an excessively developed division of labor. This makes the existence of horizontal links between workers critical to the success of asocial revolution. This is not an entirely new situation. The absence of pre-existing horizontal links was one of the main factors contributing to the failure of the Russian revolution, sustaining among workers a lack of confidence in their ability for self-management beyond the limits of the workplace.

Workers councils are predominantly structured around geographical units and are not adequate to deal with the day to day horizontallinks of production in a non-bureaucratic manner. Thus it was no coincidence that it was through the soviets that the Bolsheviks first established their separate power, while the factory committees served as a base for opposition and workers’ power during the short revolutionary period in Russia, a power which soon dissolved in the absence of functional horizontal ties.

While these are not unique to revolutionary syndicalism, and also bureaucratic unions maintain them, they are there only exceptionally direct links between workers in general: as a rule they bring the select few together and serve the function of isolating workers into mutual passivity, transforming mutual contact and aid into the business of a stratum of specialists cultivating the noble art of empty phrases – making any direct contact between workers


the methods of co-option are made, the winds of discontent will always be blowing. Recreating anarcho-syndicalism involves fanning the flames of discontent and disrespect towards bosses. But the structure must be there to channel and give extended life to these winds, suppling them with some direction and a greater strength by bringing them together. Our task consists in bulding direct links of some permanence between workers locally, within the limits of the state and globally, and from the workplace to the communities in which we live. And as an essential, integrated part of this, opening up spaces for collective discussions where the dream of a society beyond capitalism can be nourished.

At the present stage, building the structures of revolutionary unionism must be seen as a vehicle to awakenpractical solidarity.

While the workplace is the obvious point of departure for anarcho-syndicalism, it cannot see it as its limit, something which would tie it to the logic of capitalism. An instance of beyond-the-workplace-unionism is the struggles CNT has been engaged in against the closing down of the shipyards of Puerto Real, near Cadiz in the south of Spain, where the struggle was extended to the communities as a whole and to the conditions of life within them:

Every Thursday of every week, in the towns and villages in the area, we had all-village assemblies where anyone who was connected with the particular issue, whether they were actually workers in the shipyard itself, or women or children or grandparents, could go along to the village assembly and actually vote and


People, does the title of this post sound like it is a little Fascist to you? That is the reason I included an image of the littlest Fascist I could find at the start of this thread, Joseph Goebbels Hitler's Propaganda Minister. So this thread has a small Fascist in it. :lau:However the truth is that this thread's title is government speak of one of Franklin Roosevelt's most cherished programs, his farm program.

Here is more on the saga of Fascism in America courtesy of the father of hybrid seed corn, FDR's "Farm Dictator," Vice President, Stalinist stooge, and 1948 Socialist presidential candidate Henry Wallace. A.K.A. Time Magazine's worst Vice President.

“…When Franklin D. Roosevelt became president in 1933, his agriculture secretary, Henry Wallace, and others urged him to appointis change the title," Spitzner says of the zombified blog post, which also included a few key references, for example to George Romero's 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead," which centers on an infectious agent - classic CDC territory - turning ordinary people into eldritch horrors.

Readers immediately bought in. "Three hours after the blog went live, the entire CDC network collapsed" because so many people were attempting to read the blog post Spitzner says, adding that later, the agency even had to issue a statement confirming that in fact there is no such thing as zombies.

The awareness campaign got people talking. And for an agency that's responsible for teaching Americans how to survive a disaster, it was an unmitigated success.

Marches and vigils replace riots in Ferguson after shooting of Michael Brown

Hundreds of people hold vigils and peaceful marches in the Missouri town after
the fatal shooting of a black teenager prompted four days of riotting

Olivia Bolton and agencies

Hundreds of people demonstrated peacefully on Thursday in a Missouri town rocked by days of protests over the fatal shooting of a black teenager, hours after state police were ordered to replace local forces.

Police shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Saturday in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, triggering protests and then a police crackdown in which authorities fired tear gas and rubber bullets and arrested reporters, sparking complaints led by President Barack Obama.

Brown's death and the subsequent action by a mainly white police forcein a majority black town led to allegations of racism and stirred comparisons with the February 2012 fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida by a member of a civilian neighborhood security patrol.

State Governor Jay Nixon said the decision to draft in the Missouri Highway Patrol had been taken after Ferguson was left looking "like a war zone" after four days of rioting - and there was an altogether different atmosphere on the streets after the governor's move.

The county police response to daily, and nightly, protests since the shooting had been aggressive, with rifle-toting police in military-style fatigues and body armor deployed to crush dissent.

Control of the investigation into the police shooting of Brown will remain in the hands of the St. Louis County force. The


Arguments between husbands and wives over whether to have children have led to a wave of 'body clock divorces', lawyers said yesterday.

Marriage break-ups are increasingly a result of the frustration felt by successful career women when their husbands refuse to start a family, they claimed.

As many as one in ten divorces now involve a wife who believes her years of fertility are running out and who is anxious to find a partner willing to support a family, according to the analysis by a leading family law firm.

Gary Lineker and his wife Danielle Bux announced the end of their six-year marriage. The reason was said to be that the former footballer was unwilling to have children with Miss Bux

The identification of 'body clock divorce' comes atin cases where their husbands had developed a resistance to starting a family, they expressed a compulsion to divorce and find someone more favourable to the idea.

'We have even heard allegations of women deliberately not using contraception in an effort to overcome their husbands' objections by getting pregnant.'

The firm said that more than a fifth of the 300 divorces it deals with each year involve couples with an age gap of at least seven years, and that one in seven of all marriages in England and Wales are between a couple with an age difference greater than ten years.

In January TV presenter Gary Lineker and his wife Danielle Bux announced the end of their six-year marriage. The reason was said to be that the former footballer was unwilling


to have children with Miss Bux.

Lineker, 55, was divorced from his first wife Michelle in 2006 after a 20-year marriage and four sons. Just over three years later he married Miss Bux, a former lingerie model, who is 19 years his junior.

Miss Bux has a teenage daughter from an earlier relationship but was said to be 'desperate' to have more children, but in interviews Lineker had expressed severe doubts.

The ages at which couples marry, and the age at which a woman is likely to have a baby, have both been going up over the past 20 years. The pressure for older family formation has followed the historic movement of a high proportion of girls into higher education and well-paid careers.

The family law firm JMW Solicitors said yesterday thatThe detentions were made after local police received a series of calls from residents in Glevakha, a remote town in the Kyiv Oblast Province near Ukraine center, saying that a group of foreigners were looking for food on the streets, the Kyiv Post reported.

The group of Vietnamese citizens had illegally entered Ukraine in the summer and looked as if they were “freezing and hungry,” the report quoted Ukrainian police as saying.

It appears that a Ukrainian citizen was supposed to look for an appropriate chance to transport the Vietnamese into a European Union country through an illegal immigration channel.

While waiting, he kept them locked up in his house for weeks, and failed to provide them with enough food. Desperate, they beat up the local man before escaping and looking


Trump prototypes for Mexico border wall demolished in California The President is yet to comment. AFP/Getty Trump prototypes for Mexico border wall demolished in California Each prototype cost $300,000 to $500,000 to build and they are being knocked down in order to make way for the San Diego Secondary Wall project which will see up to 14 miles of barrier being built to support the existing steel border fence. AP Trump prototypes for Mexico border wall demolished in California The new barrier will not employ the design of any of the prototypes, instead being built of the favoured steel bollards which make up the current section of the wall at San Diego. Reuters Trump prototypes for Mexico border wall demolished in California The new secondary barrier being builtSecurity has taken advantage of a 2005 law to waive several federal requirements that could have slowed and possibly stopped the barrier’s advance in the stretch in Arizona, including the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, the National Historic Preservation Act and the Endangered Species Act.

The Organ Pipe Cactus area has been one of the busiest along the border for migrant crossings this year, an influx that includes large groups of adults with children walking through the desert to surrender to US agents, typically seeking humanitarian protections.

Some archaeological features along the border already have suffered damage as Border Patrol agents zoom through the desert in pursuit of migrants and smugglers in all-terrain vehicles, according to federal officials and two experts who have conducted research in the region.

Environmental groups have fought


unsuccessfully to halt construction in the protected areas, arguing that greater barriers could disrupt wildlife migration corridors and threaten the survival of imperilled species.

But to date, there has been little mention of the potential damage to archaeological sites, where stone tools, ceramic shards and other pre-Columbian artefacts are extremely well-preserved in the arid environment.

Desert-dwelling peoples have populated the area for at least 16,000 years, particularly around the oasis of Quitobaquito Springs in the national monument, one of the few places where the Quitobaquito pupfish and the endangered Sonoyta mud turtle still live in the wild.

The oasis was part of a prehistoric trade route, the Old Salt Trail, where northern Mexican commodities including salt, obsidian and seashells were plentiful, according to the Park Service.

The traders were followed by Spanishmissionaries, Western settlers, and other travellers and nomads who came to drink.

The springs and surrounding desert wetlands are just 200 feet from the border, where crews plan to bring in heavy earth-moving equipment to instal the giant steel barriers.

Scientists also have raised concerns that the springs could dry up if crews pump groundwater from the area for the barrier’s concrete base.

CBP has looked at “most” of the archaeological sites identified in the Park Service report and found just five that are within the 60ft-wide strip of land on the US side of the border where the government will erect the structure, an area of federal land known as the Roosevelt Reservation.

Of those five, one had a “lithic scatter” – remnants of stone tools and other culturally relevant artefacts.

Construction


crews do not yet have a plan to begin work at that location, CBP officials said, noting that the agency has had discussions with the Park Service about collecting and analysing fragments of historic significance from that site.

CHP members said the agency has not delayed or otherwise altered their construction plans to conduct more detailed surveys or excavations in the area.

With CBP, the US Army Corps of Engineers and their construction contractors under pressure from the White House, federal land in the West has become the easiest place to quickly add fencing.

In the Park Service report summarising the results of a survey of 11.3 miles along the US-Mexico border, the agency’s archaeologists note that previous research had “identified and recorded 17 archaeological sites which likely will be wholly or partially destroyed by forthcoming border fence construction”.

The park experts, who conducted their survey in June, identified five more archaeological


sites that also would be imperilled and would deserve to be protected under a National Register of Historic Places designation.

The report notes that staffers were unable to complete a survey of the entire length of the US side of the border that lies within the monument’s boundaries.

Park Service archaeologists plan to survey another 1.7-mile section of the park’s southern border later this month.

Kevin Dahl, Arizona senior program manager for the National Parks Conservation Association, said that under normal circumstances, the agency would take steps to protect archaeological sites under its purview, including a lengthy excavation process if necessary.

After a full hearing at which all parties appeared, the arbitration panel awarded Keenan $481,850 in full settlement of all claims submitted for arbitration, and relieved Keenan from any further work on the premises.
The arbitration award was rendered on September 27, 1985, and was received by White House on October 9, 1985. On October 28, 1985, White House filed a Request for Clarification, Reconsideration and Modification with the arbitration panel, which request was denied on December 28, 1985.
Meanwhile, on November 12, 1985, Keenan filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, a Motion for confirmation of the arbitration award, and the


court set a hearing on the matter for January 13, 1986. On the day of the hearing, White House appeared and urged a Motion to Vacate or Modify [the] arbitration award, again alleging breach of contract and failure to properly complete the work on Keenan's part. It was further alleged that the arbitration award was defective in that it did not comply with the law and evidence, and that the panel was biased. The trial judge ruled that this motion to vacate or *1143 modify the award was untimely under Georgia law in that it came more than three months after receipt of the original award by White House. He therefore issued a judgment, confirming the award in Keenan's favor. White House then requested a new trial ina conflict of interest. At that *1145 point, Ceccarelli consulted with another arbitration specialist, John Hinchey. It is not clear from the record exactly when Hinchey came into the case. However, no pleadings were filed on behalf of White House until January 13, 1986, the day of the hearing on Keenan's motion for confirmation of the arbitration award. It was subsequently determined by the Georgia court that the three month period for seeking review of the arbitration award was not in fact tolled by the request for reconsideration with the arbitration panel, and judgment was entered in Keenan's favor in the amount of that award.
It was further revealed at trial that Keenan owed money to another construction firm owned by Billy Pitts. Pitts was a client of Fielder


Martin, and apparently his disapproval of Martin's representation of White House was what persuaded Martin to withdraw from that representation because of a potential conflict of interest. It was the contention of White House that Keenan got Pitts to pressure Martin to withdraw to facilitate collection of the award. Keenan admitted discussing the arbitration procedure with Pitts because the latter had such a proceeding pending and sought this information. He denied that he had ever spoken to Martin about White House or suggested that Pitts try to influence Martin in any way. In deposition Martin also denied ever speaking to Keenan about the matter, but did admit that Pitts was not pleased about his representing White House.
