CHOWDAH BOWL: Nutritious newsy, not-so-newsy nuggets scooped from the bowl on a Springtime Eve: male belly dancer, jolt to Provincetown, Chatham blowup and steaming in Wellfleet.• • •
"Shake 'n Shinny:" There's a male belly dancer in our midst, and we're wondering if he's the only one on the Cape and Islands. The story of Kasim of Dennis is told by Melora B. North of the Provincetown Banner. She report Kasim led the first belly dance workshop for males offered in the United States back in 1976 in Washington D.C. Although retired, Kasim still coaches and offers critiques on performances. He also sings, plays the piano and organ and teaches classes in finger cymbals. Kasim told North he became interested in belly dancing when he was a student at Boston University and frequented his uncle's Greek supper club called Club Khiam. His career began in a Randolph ballroom and continued in California, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Las Vegas and Broadway…. Sudden though: Whatever happened to former Cape Cod Standard-times editor Milton Stewart?… Coogan on Target: No, Jim Coogan, you're not the only one who sees Governor Patrick's embrace of Barack Obama as a hug for the future. Coogan wondered in his Cape Cod Times column if he was alone in seeing the embrace "as a pretty-thinly veiled strategy to land a cabinet position" should Obama become president. CC sees Patrick fleeing Boston for Washington as quickly as he can book a flight….
…Steaming in Wellfleet: Wellfleeters are steaming and it has nothing to do with clams, mussels or oysters. A Pennsylvania couple got the pot hot because they want to tear down a 2,000-square-foot house that has an 1,800-square-foot deck. The replacement would be a 5,300-square-foot home equipped with an octagonal turret protruding from the roof. The planned house is in the Cape Cod National Seashore. The pot then got hotter. The Cape Codder quoted a designer-builder as saying there is also an application for a 10-bedroom house on 7 acres on Bound Brook…. Conflict in Chatham: It's the bombshell exploded by most of the Chatham Chamber of Commerce executive board. The mass resignations resulted from the winter-long squabble with the Chatham Merchants Association…. Post Leap Year: No one on Cape Cod really gives much of a hoot about Leap Year other than Leap Year families and those greeting the day's newborns. Not so elsewhere. There's a small town on the New Mexico-Texas border that claims it is the official Leap Year Capital of the World, and shows it with a three-day Leap Year Festival.; The tiny town is named Anthony….• • •
Jolt in Provincetown: The old fishing village – and Truro and Wellfleet can be added – is still gripped by the uncomfortable shakes as a result of a story in the Cape Cod Times. In late February, the Outer Capers were shocked to read that their hometown paper, The Banner, which carries the 131-year heritage of the former Provincetown Advocate, had been sold to Gatehouse Media. One of the last three independent and locally-owned weeklies on the Cape (the Enterprise family of papers out of Falmouth and the Cape Cod Chronicle in Chatham remain), the Banner joins six other weeklies in the Community Newspapers Group. Inc., under the banner of Gatehouse Media. There is little doubt that one of the Outer Capers stunned and saddened the most is Hamilton Kahn, who edited the banner during its first 10 years. He poured out his feelings in the Boston Globe Op-Ed Page column, "Selling out the Provincetown Banner." He recalled Banner Publisher Alix Ritchie saying, after buying the advocate in 2000 and changing the name, "The most important thing is that this community's newspaper is going to be locally owned and independent." Kahn concluded, "The principles and promises of the Banner's birth have been abandoned along with the good citizens of Provincetown." Kahn, who lives in Wellfleet, is host of the program "In the News" on Provincetown radio station WOMR-FM…• • •
The recent Barnstable Patriot photo pf Mrs. Helmi Wiinikainen Viliesis with a milk bottle from the decades-ago lakeside Dairy in West Barnstable is a reminder that you're way up there, Morris, if you remember when horse-pulled milk wagons delivered milk to customers in the very early dawn…. Most Cape Codders have seen the historic cannon on the Barnstable County Courthouse lawn. History buffs should know in which war the cannon were fired. Answer below.• • •

All Saints Day
All Saints Day and All Souls' Day
All Saints Day is celebrated on the Saturday that falls between October 31 and November 6. Then burn the candles in cemeteries to our relatives' memory. But the practice is only just over half a century old in Sweden. Ancient, however, death cult, cult soul and saint worship at winter-half entrance.
All Saints' Day in the Roman Catholic Church
On November 1, All Saints' Day, the Catholic Church since 700's, celebrated the saint who had their day in the calendar. The day after, on November 2, celebrated All Souls' Day of the dead family members and the night before, on 31 October, was Halloween (All Hallows Even = Halloween).
All Saints have in varying degree retained its importance in the Roman Catholic Church in Western Europe.
All Saints' Day was the first day of winter
During Sweden's Catholic Middle Ages, we encounter the first time on All Saints' Day in Vallentuna Calendar 1198th It was counted as second-class weekends, that is, the more important came immediately following Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. That day was significant can also be read in the presence of All Saints' guilds in various places in the country. All Saints' Day role as calendrical fixed point can be seen in medieval laws and it was considered to be the first day of winter.
All Saints' Day holiday, which was removed
In Sweden maintained Saints' Day holiday, which even after the Reformation in the 1500s, despite various attempts to remove it, and despite the fact that the worship of saints is not merged with the new Lutheran doctrine. It was apparently as difficult to get rid of without protest, however, abolished All Souls' Day, November 2. But finally disappeared also All Saints' Day as public holiday in the calendar reform 1772nd
All Saints Day was introduced in 1953
Only later, in the twentieth century, the custom grew with candles on the graves up - inspired by the Catholic Mediterranean countries. And finally reintroduced day of the holiday reform 1953rd The day was called All Saints Day and is celebrated on the first Saturday in November and its importance as a much appreciated break in the darkness just grows and grows. The old All Saints' Day remains November 1.

It's been only five days, five quick days, but already my love for incredible India has once again been re-confirmed. I wasn't exactly sure how it would feel to be back in this intriguing nation this time around as my last visit was a somewhat distant three years ago and my life has changed a great deal since then.
Perhaps India would no longer excite me. Perhaps I would find the intensity and chaos to be too much for me these days. Perhaps I'd be better to just stick with the memories of my previous visits and not try to relive my experiences.
Those are the kind of thoughts that swirled around inside my head during the weeks leading up to my arrival, reaching the peak of their intensity mid-way through my flight to Delhi last week.
And then that flight landed and I stepped foot outside the airport where I immediately encountered that all-too-familiar sea of Indian faces waiting for arriving passengers, many holding signs, all jostling for space among the crowd, some wearing jeans, some in uniforms, others wearing a shalwar kamiz or the robe of a Buddhist monk, women wandering the area in their bright, multicolored saris, there were Sikhs and Hindus and Muslims and Tibetans and more, many were sipping cups of chai, and all of them were helping to provide a glimpse of things to come, of the brilliant adventure that awaits, for all those visitors walking out of the airport.
As I myself stood there for a moment in front of all those people, just minutes after my arrival, I took a deep breath and cracked a small smile. This first sight of India was all it took for me to realize that the bond between this country and I was still as strong as it ever has been.
Why I Love Incredible India…
Now that five days have passed, that feeling is even stronger. After all, in this short period of time, I have already been blessed by a holy man, encountered two massive elephants, not to mention cows, bulls, donkeys, monkeys and pigs wandering around the streets, found myself stuck in the middle of an impromptu festival procession, been hit in the leg by a rickshaw, interacted and enjoyed interesting conversations with dozens of locals, drank dozens of cups of chai with shop owners, hotel employees and other strangers I've met…
…accepted an invitation to someone's home where I ate a supremely delicious home-cooked meal of dahl and mixed vegetables alongside a small group of Indians representing several regions of the country and several different religions as well, stuffed my face with food from my favorite roadside food stalls in Connaught Place, stepped in a huge pile of cow crap in the middle of the street, got that wonderful shave for 40 cents from the barber I've been to many times over the years, drank a yummy sweet lassi every day, witnessed a late-night wedding celebration in the middle of the lane near my hotel, ate fresh pomegranates and papayas, survived the crossing of several insanely busy roads (crosswalks nowhere in sight!), had a most pleasant exchange with a heavily armed soldier while at the airport, took a ride on the impressive Delhi metro and watched a parade involving traditional Indian music, chanting, fireworks and men in uniform riding around on white horses.
While some of the experiences mentioned above might seem positive and others may seem a bit on the unfortunate side of things, this is what India is all about for the traveler… non-stop exposure to a completely different way of life and to an environment that repeatedly shocks, surprises and confuses, and quite often, at the very same time, overjoys and changes the lives of foreign visitors.
And this is the India that I have loved for so many years, the India that has enticed me to return over and over again for so long, the India that, as it turns out, I still love so very much.
Thank You!
On a side note, I just wanted to give every one of you readers, as I like to do quite often, a huge thank you. Without the community that you helped create on this site, there is no possible way that WanderingEarl.com would have been named one of TIME magazine's Best Blogs of 2012 last week. So once again, I thank you.
And between that and being in incredible India with my group, this sure has proven to be one of the most memorable months of my blogging career.
Let's hear your thoughts, good and bad, about India and please share any questions you may have about traveling to this country as well!

mlp needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 26 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Logo for a new research center at a prestigious university focused on brain, behavior, and decision making in humans and animal.
This is a logo for a new center. It should focus on brain with a play on the name "cabin"; hip rather than cutesy. Clean design. Other aspects of biology such as double helix could also be incorporated. Same goes for animal icons to connote behavior. But these are not necessary.
Dark blue color a plus. Mac-like look a plus.
Dayglo colors. Anything insipid.

Those who Stayed Behind
Herzog, Karen. "Those who Stayed Behind." Bismarck Tribune, 28 December 1997.
The German-Russians who did not flee to America faced varied hardships, tragedies
Some stayed behind.
For more than a century, industrious German immigrants had worked hard tilling the Russian soil, coaxing abundance from vast Eurasian steppes and building churches and schools and homes in their clusters of colonies flung like beads around the Black Sea and the Volga River.
But by the end of 1800s, the czars no longer sounded so friendly, so welcoming, so accommodating. The Germans were to be "Russianized." Gone was their exclusive German language in their schools, their military exemptions. The lands were filled to their capacity to farm it by hand, and what land remained was expensive. To leave or to stay? That was the question. The Dakotas are filled with the offspring of those who chose to leave. So what happened to the others, those who chose to stay? In a word, tragedy.
During the 1920s, the Dakota Freie Presse and other German-language newspapers described the suffering of the (Germans from Russia's) kinsmen who had remained in South Russia. Civil war, mass executions and widespread famine were reported in excruciating detail. Wheat prices were extremely poor in the Northern Plains in the 1920s, but when compared to descriptions of (their Russian kin) searching the fields in Russia for kernels of grain, they realized how fortunate they were. The image of the Old Country as a lovely paradise on the steppe was destroyed, gradually giving way to a grudging appreciation for the rock-strewn prairies in North Dakota.
In the 1930s, there wee disturbing reports from Russia that moved stoic-faced Black Sea Germans to weep -- purges, nightly arrests and Siberian labor camps. The Black Sea Germans in North Dakota, many of whom were struggling to hold on to farmlands that were literally blowing away, could only write back, "Dearest brother, dearest sister, we have so little ourselves and feel helpless. Pray for us, dear ones, as we shall continue to pray for all of you!"
"Plains Folk," ......
Twenty-nine German-language newspapers were published at one time or another in North Dakota. By the 1950s, these newspapers had died out. But for more than six decades, they connected the homesick "far-scattered" German-speaking people.
Newspapers like the Dakota Freie Presse, published in Yankton, S.D., later Bismarck, the Staats-Anzeiger in Rugby, later Bismarck, and the Eureka (S. D.) Rundschau carried letters with news from the "old homeland" of South Russia -- a litany of war, famine, lulls of bounty, revolution, dispossesion, expulsion. Politics and history, however, always yielded first place to the true center of German life -- the land -- crops, sowing, yields, harvest, prices, weather.
Embedded in the writers' own words is a tragedy -- what happens to the "little people" caught under the wheels of history. In chilling images, the letters reveal the warping weight of a totalitarian regime on the people in its power.
These "letters to the editors" were published in the Dakotas in the German-language newspapers of the time. Dates are the day of publication. (Letter collection courtesy of Mike Rempfer, Bismarck)
From Georg Biederstedt, Merricourt, Dickey County. (Dakota Freie Presse, Feb. 17, 1909)
"We began our journey to America on March 8, 1890. (After arriving in Ellendale) we could build nothing more than sod houses because there was no other construction material. We still had enough time to sow 40 acres of flax, but we got no harvest from it, which was a particularly hard blow at the outset. In the spring of 1891, we sowed once again. Naturally we did everything with oxen, for horses were rare in those early days. The grain was marvelous and stood well until it was ripe. But then we had a terrible hail storm which destroyed everything. At that point all of us lost our spirits and in despair began making plans to return to Russia. But "der Mensch denkt und Gott lenkt." (Man proposes but God disposes).
In the spring of 1892 I got married and decided not to go back to Russia after all. This year we also got a very good harvest and from that time on everything started turning out for the better."
From Karl and Ottilie Biederstaedt, South Russia (Dakota Freie Presse, March 13, 1917).
"We received your precious letter on Nov. 5. We are all still well. I cannot write about the war, as then you would not get the letter. However, this much I can write, that the war is terrible.
Another letter from the Biederstaedts, published Jan. 9, 1920:
"Dear Brother, It has been over five years since we have corresponded. We are now in Germany. We escaped out of Russia with the German occupation troops. We had to leave everything behind in Russia. We have abandoned cattle, horses, furniture and machinery, house and land. In total, we have left assets of 200,000 rules here. Christoph, our oldest son, is living there, if he is still alive which we do not know, for very many have been killed by the Bolsheviks. ... how disordered Russia has become. Today is Kerensky with his party; tomorrow he is overthrown. Then comes Lenin and Trotsky, Denikin, Judenitsch. As of February, the revolution in Russia has been continuing for three years. ... nothing but rabble, who are only robbers and murderers.
There are no workers and no employees; there are only "Towarischtchi," (comrades). He slings a rifle over his shoulder, sticks a revolver in his belt and attaches himself to a gang, after which rises robbery and murder.
How the accursed war has changed everything! (Our son) Karl was killed at war on the Austrian Front on June 7, 1917.
From Eduard Nill, Germany. (Der Staats-Anzeiger, March 22, 1921)
"Just now the (South Russian German) colonies of Lustdorf and Grossliebental are badly afflicted by the communists. In Lustdorf, it is said there are only five males in the village. The others are said to be murdered or fled. Mother's brother, Heinrich, has been arrested and imprisoned by the communists. One can say nothing of this, or otherwise one is denounced as counterrevolutionary and shot.
The little money we have here (in Germany) does not go far. I would go back immediately (to Russia) if only I could. However, the Bolsheviks have also sought after my life."
From Ludwig Beutespacher, Neu-Beresina (village), South Russia (Eureka Rundschau, May 4, 1922)
"Now certainly you have heard already about the great famine in Russia; there are already many people dead from starvation in our vicinity. I still have one horse and two cows. For each cow and also for the horse, they give two Pud (36 pounds) of flour. How long would this be enough for our family of ten? We have already gone one month long without any more bread, eating only watery soup with a little meal mixed in. I write this letter under tears with a heavy heart as it is not easy for me to beg, but the hunger drives one to it."
From Michael and Christina Bindewald, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Eureka Rundschau, June 22, 1922)
"First the crop failure and second, we had everything taken away. We have no more livestock to sell, having only two cows remaining. If there is no help from another country, then we are lost. Throughout the whole winter, we have had only two meals each day, and a man cannot endure this for a long time. There are eight in our family; we have sent to Poland all the clothes we could sell for food. Pleading for your assistance.
From Margaretha Helm Mehlhaff, Woinitsch, South Russia. (Eureka Rundschau, June 22, 1922)
"My dear nephew Friedrich, For you to know what a farmer is up against, you would have to be here. There is not a kernel for planting or for bread. When one has nothing to seed, you know there is nothing also to harvest. My son Friedrich was killed in the war. A frightening rise in prices is with us. And so the hunger is already here, and the crop is indeed still four months away.
From Christine Losing, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Eureka Rundschau, Nov. 9, 1922)
"Our entire household was sick with typhus in the winter. Those who had enough to eat, the Reds took it away. Everyone had to give, if they had enough or if they had nothing.
From Johann and Barbara Freier, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Eureka Rundschau, Dec. 10, 1925)
"Much beloved sister and brother-in-law, We received your nice letter on Sept. 9 and the fifty dollars on Sept. 19. We have divided it into six equal parts. We have taken this money and driven to the market and bought ten Pud (one Pud=36 pounds) of wheat; with this we again have some flour to eat. We were happy. But God knows how will we fare through another year; we have harvested nothing at all, and with a hoe, put up only one stack of thistles. We have only one horse and one young cow -- this is all.
"Still, I would write that the government provided every farm with seed for five dessiatines (13.5 acres) and the oldest men took it to the fields and seeded it all.
From Johann and Barbara Freier, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Eureka Rundschau, Jan. 28, 1926)
"There are only five houses here where there is no illness. Dear sister, how happy we would be if we could receive help with which to buy flour, because starvation is a difficult death. Is there no one else, other than you, who has a tender heart? Dear friends, help us before it is too late, as we are hungry and without adequate clothes. Where are my brother and my sister? Look for them, that they might help us also. Has blood already turned to water?
From Christian Troester, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Eureka Rundschau, May 13, 1926)
"Lately our people have been writing to America asking for money. They probably think that in America the dollars grow on trees. My need is also very pressing, but I cannot beg. My horse is so weak, that I could almost not lead it out of the stall.
When one hears how rich people are in America, and we so wretchedly must endure, then one becomes bitter. May our God care to protect you from the misery with which we are afflicted."
In a letter published in Der Staats-Anzeiger, Nov. 5, 1926, Christian Moessner's report includes this chilling paragraph.
"Johann Heberle, two years after being taken to prison in Odessa, recently was sentenced to death as a leader of the colonist rebellion, and as a fugitive from his first arrest, when he wounded a secret policeman. It was a short time from the verdict of the trial to the carrying out of the execution.
Theodor Roedel, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, April 24, 1928)
"On Feb. 1, in the small market town (nearby) a gypsy who had taken a rope was arrested. The rope would not be so consequential to him if a cow had not been attached to the other end, and therefore today, the poor gypsy is confined under lock and key. For my part, I think that for the homeless gypsy, this was little to do about a cow, but about free room and board, which are both now guaranteed to him. This encourages scoundrels to perform such pranks.
Theodor Roedel (Der Staats-Anzeiger, June 12, 1928) "Many allow their seats in church to become thick with dust, and so also is their place in heaven. They either stroll about or attend the soccer matches. I wonder if they have thought on it, that there are no soccer matches in hell?
Theodor Roedel (Der Staats-Anzeiger, July 10, 1928)
I wanted to buy a Pud (36 pounds) of corn at the market in Katarschino today, but did not find any. There is little available seed stock of sunflowers, corn and millet, which in all likelihood has been allocated to the communes, collectives and other organized work units.
From Heinrich Hermann, Neuglueckstal, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, June 21, 1929)
Our spring seeding is proceeding slowly. Our horses are so weak that, throughout the day, they must be unharnessed and fed frequently and often we have to use manpower to help them to their feet. Our winter wheat froze out, so we must plant the fields with summer (spring) crops. Luckily, our government furnishes the seed stock, for obtaining it is beyond our own means.
From Friedrich Kuebler, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, May 13, 1930)
We read the newspaper eagerly, hearing how the people in America live, how you make trips by auto hither and yon, and by which, unfortunately, many men are also injured. Now, for us, we quietly live our working days, and envy not at all your American gas-horse.
Yes, it has become totally different, and everything must be relearned. The watchword (is) "You go with the times or it is hard times."
We do what is required. And the citizens who submit, who are true and honest, with nothing to hide, who are not speculators or active in hidden (underground) politics, for these citizens it is not bad, for they have a livelihood and secure life in Soviet Russia.
There have been deportations from other villages, but believe me, those concerned have always been guilty. Yes, the speculators are a noxious element and the sooner one is rid of them, the better for society. And kulaks, who do not put obstructions in the way of collectivization by word or deed, are left alone. However, many think they are more clever than others, and must, of course, be reeducated.
Yes, we have a so-called collective to which we have handed over our livestock and machinery. Our collective has 52 workhorses and one tractor. In our soviet-state, work is the highest honor. The collective has planted 350 hectares of winter wheat, 60 hectares barley and oats, 40 hectares of potatoes.
From Friedrich and Katharina Kuebler, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, June 24, 1930)
The winter crops flutter in waves like the sea. The pasture is a genuine paradise, a field of high grass and beautiful flowers such as we have never before seen. The vineyard is thriving beautifully.
We wish to inform that we are building a large school, but not with our money, rather the government is doing it. Our Artel (collective) is progressive and receives recognition as one of the best in the district.
We have been without a (church) sexton for ten months, and have not had any more divine services; many of our people are themselves to blame, they no longer took part in religious affairs and supported the church no more. The government then took over the building and accommodated the Artel (collective) in it.
From Friedrich and Katharina Kuebler, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, Nov. 21, 1930)
"On Sunday, Oct. 26, we grandly celebrated the harvest day here, that is, the Day of Collectivization. Our village is now a so-called Red village and is called "Krasna Selo." The Red flag was dedicated and many speeches were made.
Everything is in fine order for us. Hopefully, everything will also remain in the future as it is now."
From Friedrich Kuebler, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, Feb. 10, 1931)
"Always the farmers are locked in more and more to the collective or "greater-farm," slowly realizing that the soviet government's only intent is to advance the well-being of the farmers and workers.
From Friedrich Kuebler, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, April 3, 1931)
There is still much unthreshed grain in the fields of our neighboring village. Truly what a sin this is, after dear God has given us a good harvest. It is no wonder that the soviet government takes severe, suitable action to bring about an end to this mismanagement, to which only the enemies of the "Five Year Plan" are responsible.
From Friedrich Kuebler, Neu-Beresina (Der Staats-Anzeiger, June 19, 1931)
"The (crops) need rain, and if it comes in time, everything will give a good harvest. The farmer always lives with hope, and this is nothing to be ashamed of."
From Christian Haerter, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, Aug. 4, 1931)
"We have never had as good and as many vegetables as since the irrigation. We have our soviet government to thank for this and yet other setups (innovations).
An additional new establishment in our village is the kindergarten. By this Art (workers collective) mothers with many children can turn them over to the kindergarten and then work in the home undisturbed, or go out to the fields."
From Christian Haerter, Neu-Beresina, South Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, Nov. 24, 1931)
"During the threshing time our Artel (collective) was "cleansed" and several persons expelled after they were exposed as Kulaks. Among them are Friedrich Kuebler, Jakob Nill, Gottlob Haerter, Christian Troester and Jakob Breitling (Ed. writers of several of the previous letters). They were removed from their houses."
From Mathilde Zimblemann, Hoffnungstal, Soviet Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, Sept. 23, 1932)
"In Odessa, Jakob Breitling, (Ed. mentioned above, one of those "cleansed"), 58 years old, has departed from the living. The deceased, who formerly lived in Neu-Beresina, now worked his trade with the carpenter's plane."
From Mathilde Zimblemann, Hoffnungstal, Soviet Russia (Der Staats-Anzeiger, Nov. 4, 1932)
The grape harvest turned out very poor as well. We harvested only a third of what was expected. Indeed, the splendid time of grapes has flown by much too fast for everyone this year."
During World War II the Germans in the old Black Sea colonies and in Bessarabia searched their old family Bibles and records, looking for names of relatives who had moved to America.
War was on between Germany and Russia and correspondence was desperately renewed as the Germans who had stayed behind looked for help.
One of these, Emil Bendewald, told his story in 1962 in Germany. His horrifying story is just one of scores of thousands:
After the beginning of World War II, the Germans living in Bessarabia when Russians took over in June 1940 were invited to leave. No one wanted to go, but after the Russians started explaining communism, the German farmers began to realize they had to leave, though they hated to leave their homes. The women left Oct. 5, 1940, the men followed on Oct. 18 -- 92,000 Germans left Bessarabia headed for Germany, only to be routed to Poland to farm the lands that Germany had taken away from the Polish people. All the men were drafted into the Army or the Wehrmacht (German air force). The women and children farmed the lands, in constant fear of the partisans trying to reclaim the land the Poles rightfully owned.
On Jan. 12, 1945, the Russians began their big offensive (westward toward Germany). On Jan. 18, 1945, the mass movement of the Germans fleeing Poland began. The (westward-moving Russian) front caught up with many of the women and children on foot. The Russians shot many and put the rest of them in cattle cars and shipped them to Siberia. Bendewald spent two years searching for his family, finally finding them in Hannover.
In "The Central Dakota Germans," Shirley Fischer Arends writes:
"The old German colonies are gone forever. Their inhabitants are in Germany and in Siberia. They had tamed the steppes, cultivated the fields, drained the swamps, planted orchards and vineyards. They left as beggars and undesirables. After World War II, there were still two million Germans left in Russia, citizens who had sacrificed their property, their lives, for the country of their birth and had wanted to stay.
"They were disowned as aliens, jailed as revolutionists and sent to concentration camps in Siberia as traitors."

|Chicken Greek Salad
The Recipe: A traditional Greek salad, with chicken added, it's familiar and new at the same time.
The Conversation: Try "drive-by" food, it's the grocery-store alternative to the "drive-through"!
Summer nights create a thousand ready reasons to skip supper at home in the kitchen. Little League and bike rides that run long. An after-work happy hour on a breezy patio. Lawn mowing. A family outing to the zoo. Day games. An oh-so-pretty-nobody-wants-to-leave afternoon at the pool.
An obvious answer to the 'What's for supper?' question is drive-through food on the way home. Instead, think about drive-by food on the way home.
Drive by the grocery, grab a rotisserie chicken (a busy parent's miracle food if there ever is one) and a few vegetables. Get home. Kick off the shoes. Assemble the salad. Plate. Somebody pour the milk, please! Pray. Eat. Enjoy.
SIMPLE HUMMUS Hummus is the chickpea (also called garbanzo bean) paste served with pita rounds in Greek restaurants. Grocery stores carry prepared versions but hummus is quick 'n' easy to make at home. In a food processor (or with a potato masher), purée a can of drained garbanzo beans, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/3 cup of tahini (a sesame seed paste or in a pinch, use peanut butter), the juice of a lemon or two, some fresh parsley. Add olive oil a few drops at a time until a spreadable consistency is reached.
another good reason to eat at home!
Time to table: 25 minutes
Serves 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Zest from 1 lemon (see ALANNA's TIPS)
- Juice of 2 lemons (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled between fingertips (see TIPS)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, skin removed, in bite-size pieces (or leftover grilled chicken)
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
- 1/2 medium red onion, diced fine
- Other veggies, optional (see TIPS)
- Romaine lettuce for 4, torn
- Baby spinach for 4
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
DRESSING Whisk dressing ingredients in large bowl.
SALAD Stir in chicken, cucumber, tomato, olives and red onion and combine well, right in the dressing bowl.
TO SERVE Arrange lettuce and spinach on four plates. Top with the chicken mixture, then sprinkle with feta cheese. Serve with torn pita bread and hummus – and enjoy, at home!
MORE SERVING IDEAS Usually, I make this salad all in one big jumble but for a group, I've also made a "Greek Salad Bar" with individual bowls of each of the ingredients, letting people build their own salad plates. For picture purposes and for a person or two, a "composed salad" does the trick. All work!
Simple Hummus Recipe
While my recipe for Simple Hummus uses the traditional chickpeas, there are other options. How about lima bean hummus? or Pumpkin Hummus with Honey? or Cauliflower Hummus? or Eggplant Sandwiches with Cilantro Hummus? So many ways to make hummus!

Mort Drucker is an all around great cartoonist. Everyone knows his caricatures and movie parodies in Mad Magazine and lots of artists copy him - superficially. They copy his surface, the little squiggly lines he cross-hatches with, the Searle noses and stuff.
But it's not just his details that make him great. It's his grasp and control of all the essential drawing tools.
He's great at girls too.
He seems to be heavily influenced by Owen Fitzgerald. The way he composes his characters together in a scene, the opposing poses, the groups of characters as blocks of people, the use of negative shapes...
He draws really cartoony cars that still are solid, and he can draw anything from any angle.
His clean compositions, full of pleasing negative shapes to draw your attention to the filled shapes.Hierarchy of forms within forms.
I'm gonna break down some of his skills in further posts.
From what I hear, Drucker is self-taught! He looks like he has many influences: illustrations, animated cartoons, comic strips, comic books. His style tells me he is a big fan himself of cartoons and drawings of many styles. He puts them all together in a completely unique and fun way - and it looks like he is really having fun too.

The EURUSD continued to maintain its bearish momentum the past few days after rejection from 1.3318 levels, pressure now will be on the key support 1.3017 ,EURUSD will have to hold below 1.3017 on a 4 hour closing basis to push the market for further downside loses if seen this scenario could push the market further lower towards the 1.2875 levels, where a breach will turn focus on the 1.2735 levels, at this point I'd expect downside to be contained above 1.2735 levels to bring another rally to the upside towards 1.3000 levels.
Alternatively,A failure to hold below 1.3017 on a 4 hour closing basis, could mean a return to the 1.3318 levels, a break above 1.3318 will reverse risks to the upside and pave the way to 1.3520/1.3710 levels.

I'm having a hip replaced on 12/4. Everyone who finds out I'm having surgery seems to think it's necessary to offer me their prayers. I don't feel comfortable saying "thank you" for what I think is a total waste of time, but I don't want to just not acknowledge what they think is a good thing.
Any suggestions? Should I just let it pass, or should I respond in some way. A lot of these people are just acquaintences and probably don't realize they've never seen me in church!
I live in a small town and work for Mormans so I have to be a little careful with making my beliefs, or lack there of, known.
Views: 2021
Me, (to an aquiantance): "Sorry, busy that day, can't make it."
Aquaintance: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Getting surgery."
Aq: "I'll pray for you."
Me: "Really? I won't!"
Silence, strange facial expressions, brief goodbye.
Funny, they didn't ask what the surgery was, or even how I was. I think my surgeon is a christian, I was tempted to tell them I was an atheist but they could pray for my christian surgeon not to fuck it up.
My daughter refers to that look as CBF. (Cat Butt Face)
Don't you feel like they just want to make sure you know they pray. Kind of jumping up and down and yelling "Pick me, Pick me!" response. As in what you are going through is of no importance as long as they get to tell someone that they are a prayer.
This time I think my surgeon is an atheist, too. Much more comfortable with an actual man of science!
Just say: Please don't!
Come and visit and bring treats and reading instead. :)
That it, if you actually want those religious freaks to visit you in hospital.
I once had a nurse banned from entering my hospital room because she spouted religious god stuff at me. grrr.
I'd just smile and say, "I appreciate that you'll be thinking of me." But if you do fear for your job, you might just say, "thank you".
"You don't think the surgeon knows his stuff?"
"I will be laid up for awhile and could use help more than prayer."
"Instead of praying for my recovery, pray my insurance will cover the bill."
Or less sarcastic:
"Thank you for thinking of me."
Hey, did you write for advice to "Dear Abby"? Look for her column today as it's a similar question! I think many should reply to her as she states: "And most people battling a serious illness welcome a "blast of positivity," whether it is couched in religious terms or not."
2 replies... but you never told us how the surgery went??? It's not that we're checking on the efficacy of our prayers, but... How did it go, K ? ?? ?

No, Steve Jobs has not decided to tackle the automobile market. This concept electric vehicle is the work of French designer Anthony Jannarelly who conducted an independent study for a future robotic car that just happens to bear the iconic bitten apple. Dubbed the iMo, the car is not really a car at all but a fully automated buggy that is intelligent enough to drive and park all by itself. Jannarelly, who has an MA in automotive design from Britain's Coventry University, has clearly used Apple's style as inspiration for the iMo, but we must stress that this compact 2+1 seater has nothing to do with the computer giant.
On Jannarelly's website, he theorises that his robot design could be released in 2024. Fully sustainable, the iMo adopts Segway's two-wheel gyroscopic technology and is completely electric once charged through a socket on its rear end.
The iMo's website also states that as well as having a body made from fully recyclable aluminium and polycarbonate, safety and communication sensors and an artificial intelligence system, the smart ride can also shape-shift!
How, you ask? Well according to the designer himself, the car's shape memory alloy (SMA) is made of Nitinol wire meshes. "The deformations occur when an electric current is applied to the wires. In iMo, several layers of this Nitinol fabric are used to perform the complex deformations controlled by the powerful on-board processor."
The website states that the iMo is "more than just an urban car," but a robot that will be the "best artifical companion" in your day to day life. You will even be able to communicate with your iMo requesting for it to come and pick you up from work or take your kids to school.
While we're not quite sold on the idea of a car playing babysitter, it is a striking and intriguing design. One must wonder if Steve Jobs has seen it and whether it has got his brain whirling…

=== Vision ===
The [http://www.ncn.purdue.edu Network for Computational Nanotechnology] seeks to bring a new perspective to engineering education to meet the challenges and opportunities of modern nanotechnology. Fifty years ago our field faced a similar challenge brought on by the advent of the solid-state transistor and it was met effectively by the Semiconductor Electronics Education Committee (SEEC), a group of [http://www.eecs.mit.edu/great-educators/adler.html 30 leaders] in the field from both industry and academia who produced [http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/klund/books/seec.html seven undergraduate textbooks and four films] that reshaped the [http://www-mtl.mit.edu/~penfield/pubs/eb-03.html teaching of electronics] and trained a generation of engineers ready to lead the modern electronics industry.
Today we face the need for a comparable revolution in engineering education. Ever since the birth of solid state physics, materials have been described in terms of average material parameters like the mobility or the optical absorption coefficient which are then used as inputs to macroscopic device models. This two-step approach is being widely used even for modern nanostructured materials, but we believe that it is no longer adequate to meet the challenges and opportunities of our day. An integrated approach is needed that embeds new ways of thinking, emerging from current research on nanoscience, directly into the models used for non-equilibrium problems like nanoscale transistors, energy conversion devices and bio-sensors. The objective of this bottom-up initiative is to establish and disseminate the fundamentals of this novel viewpoint through a carefully coordinated collection of seminars, short courses and full-semester courses.
"Electronics from the Bottom-up" is designed to be a resource for educators and self-learners and a model for a new way of teaching electronic devices that we hope will inspire students and prepare them to contribute to the development of nanoelectronic technology in the 21st Century. This project, launched in fall, 2006, is producing a set of educational resources that are being disseminated at summer schools, lectures, and on nanoHUB.org.

Freedom in the World
You are here
2012 Scores
Freedom Rating (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Civil Liberties (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Political Rights (1 = best, 7 = worst)
The governing Alliance for Change coalition collapsed in September 2011 when the Panameñista Party withdrew in protest over President Ricardo Martinelli's plan to hold a referendum on electoral reforms that could allow him to run for a second consecutive term. Juan Carlos Varela, head of the Panameñista Party, was subsequently dismissed from his position as foreign minister. Freedom of the press continued to be infringed upon in 2011.
Panama was part of Colombia until 1903, when a U.S.-supported revolt resulted in the proclamation of an independent republic. A period of weak civilian rule ended with a 1968 military coup that brought General Omar Torrijos to power. After signing the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty with the United States, under which the canal was gradually transferred to Panamanian control by 1999, Torrijos promised democratization.
After Torrijos's death in 1981, General Manuel Noriega emerged as Panamanian Defense Force (PDF) chief. He rigged the 1984 elections to bring the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD), then the PDF's political arm, to power. The Democratic Alliance of Civic Opposition (ADOC) won the 1989 elections, but Noriega annulled the vote and declared himself head of state. He was removed during a U.S. military invasion later that year, and ADOC's Guillermo Endara became president. Both the PRD and the Arnulfista Party won elections in the 1990s. Presidential and legislative elections in 2004 returned the PRD to power, with Martín Torrijos, son of the former strongman, winning the presidency.
In the 2009 elections, Ricardo Martinelli of the center-right, business-oriented Democratic Change (CD) party won the presidency as part of the Alliance for Change coalition with the Panameñista Party (PP), capturing 60 percent of the vote. Balbina Herrera of the PRD, who had served as housing minister under the outgoing administration, placed second with 38 percent. The PRD won 26 of 71 congressional seats, followed by the PP with 22 seats, the CD with 14 seats, and smaller parties and independents each taking fewer than 5 seats.
Martinelli made several controversial decisions in 2010, including the passage of Law 30, which weakened labor unions, relaxed environmental laws, and reduced penalties for police officers who break the law while on duty. In October, Martinelli agreed to repeal the controversial measures contained in the original legislation following public protests.
The CD's congressional representation increased from 17 to 35 members by the end of 2011 due to changes in party affiliation by several deputies. The CD's alliance with the PP collapsed in August 2011 when Martinelli announced plans to hold a referendum on proposed electoral reforms, including abolishing the requirement that presidents may not seek consecutive terms in office. The PP's opposition to the proposal also led to Martinelli dismissing Juan Carlos Varela—the president of the PP and the country's vice president—as foreign minister. The finance minister and several other PP ministers, who had been widely credited with Panama's economic growth, tendered their resignations shortly thereafter. Martinelli's approval ratings declined from 64 percent in May to 48 percent in November. Proposals to reform the constitution were continuing at year's end.
Panama is an electoral democracy. The 2009 national elections were considered free and fair by international observers. The president and deputies of the 71-seat unicameral National Assembly are elected by popular vote for five-year terms. Presidents may not seek consecutive terms and must wait two terms before running again.
Anonymous campaign contributions were banned in 1999 in an effort to stem the infiltration of drug money into the political process. Nevertheless, corruption remains widespread, and electoral reforms have been criticized for failing to improve the transparency of campaign financing. Panama and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime signed an agreement in June 2011 to establish a regional anticorruption academy. After serving 20 years in a U.S. jail for drug trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering, former dictator Manuel Noriega was extradited to France in April 2010 to complete a seven-year prison term on money laundering charges. However, in December 2011, France extradited Noriega to Panama to serve a 20-year sentence related to human rights violations. Panama was ranked 86 out of 183 countries surveyed in Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index.
The country's media outlets are privately owned, with the exceptions of the state-owned television network and a network operated by the Roman Catholic Church. However, media ownership is generally concentrated among relatives and associates of former president Ernesto Pérez Balladares (1994–99) of the PRD. Panama maintains a harsh legal environment for journalists. Ebrahim Asvat, president of El Siglo and La Estrella newspapers, resigned in January 2011 after President Ricardo Martinelli allegedly pressured the papers' owners to have him removed. The legislature considered a bill to make it illegal to criticize the country's president and other top officials, but it abandoned the proposal in January amid international and national pressure. Darío Fernández Jaén, owner of radio station Radio Mi Favorita and an outspoken critic of Martinelli, was murdered in November; one of the suspects arrested allegedly confessed to being hired to commit the crime. Internet access is unrestricted.
Freedom of religion is respected, and academic freedom is generally honored.
Freedom of assembly is recognized, and nongovernmental organizations are free to operate. Although only about 10 percent of the labor force is organized, unions are cohesive and powerful. In July 2010, opposition to Law 30 erupted into violence during a strike led by 5,000 banana plantation workers in Bocas del Toro. After the demonstration was violently suppressed by security forces, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights condemned the violence and expressed concern over the government's restrictions on freedom of association. That same month, authorities violently dispersed a similar protest organized by Panama Canal construction workers, which resulted in the arrest of several union leaders. In March 2011, public protests forced the government to repeal Law 8, which had imposed controversial reforms to the Mining Code; this was regarded as a victory for environmental and indigenous groups.
The judicial system remains overburdened, inefficient, politicized, and prone to corruption. Criminal code reforms that took effect in 2008 increased sentences for a number of offenses. The prison system is marked by violent disturbances in decrepit, overcrowded facilities. As of August 2011, the prison system held 13,069 prisoners in a system designed to hold 7,342. In January, juvenile offenders at a prison in Tocumen rioted over a lack of clean drinking water. Several young men were badly injured, five of them fatally.
The police and other security forces are poorly disciplined and corrupt. Security decrees issued by the Torrijos government in 2008 included the creation of a national aero-naval service, a border service, a council for public security and national defense, and a national intelligence service. Opponents warned of a return to Panama's military past and said the changes lacked safeguards against abuse of power. Panama's growing importance as a regional transport center makes it appealing to drug traffickers and money launderers. The quantity of cocaine seizures declined from 50 metric tons in 2010 to 34 metric tons in 2011.
Refugees from Colombia have faced difficulty obtaining work permits and other forms of legal recognition. The Martinelli administration had suggested measures to normalize the status of thousands of undocumented Colombians living in Panama without official refugee status, but minimal progress had been made on these measures. New immigration rules that took effect in 2008 tightened controls on foreigners, but other legislation grants recognized refugees who have lived in Panama for more than 10 years the right to apply for permanent residency. Of the approximately 2,500 refugee and asylum seekers living in Panama at the end of 2010, 41 were granted refugee status in 2011.
Discrimination against darker-skinned Panamanians is widespread. The country's Asian, Middle Eastern, and indigenous populations are similarly singled out. Indigenous communities enjoy a degree of autonomy and self-government, but some 90 percent of the indigenous population lives in extreme poverty. Since 1993, indigenous groups have protested the encroachment of illegal settlers on their lands and government delays in formal land demarcations. In July 2011, authorities used tear gas to break up a protest by the Ngabe-Bugle indigenous people against mining and hydroelectric projects. The indigenous Embera-Wounaan community continued to protest illegal settlements on its land in 2011, leading to violent confrontations in August, but government negotiations eventually defused tensions.
Violence against women and children is widespread and common. Panama is a source, destination, and transit country for human trafficking. The government has worked with the International Labour Organization on information campaigns addressing the issue, and it has created a special unit to investigate cases of trafficking for the purpose of prostitution. However, law enforcement is weak, the penal code does not prohibit trafficking for forced labor, and the government provides inadequate assistance to victims.

I'm Sorry, Did You Say You Were A Real Fan?
Monday, December 14, 2009 (Day after losing to the Chargers)
Mike: How can these guys play such a bad game? They knew how important this game was after losing to the Giants last week.
Dan: I know. That's two in a row. Another great December run for the Cowboys! They're done!
Mike:I just don't understand it. Romo and Phillips needs to go! I can't watch this team anymore!
Dan: Agreed. No way they make the playoffs, again!!
Monday, January 4, 2010 (Day after beating the Eagles and winning the East)
Mike: Oh man, did you see our Boys beat up those Eagles?
Dan: I knew they could do it. They are the team to beat right now in the NFC. No doubt!!
Mike: You know it. Phillips has our defense playing great right now.
Dan: Our Boys have everything it takes to make a Super Bowl run. Look out!!
*Names have been changed for their own protection*
I'm sure we all know these kinds of people. They bash the teams they say they are die-hard fans of one minute and then praise them the next minute. They always want to go and hide when the team loses and then want to shout from a roof top when they win. These are not true fans. These are what I like to call "Bandwagon fans". I'll be the first to admit that I get upset when the Cowboys lose and I will also talk about if someone didn't play well or made a mistake. To give up on a team you say you are a die-hard fan of when things are not going right and then jump back on board when they are going right is just wrong. It just does not make sense to me when people do that. Be true to the team that you say is your favorite and support them through the good times and the bad times. That is what makes you a real die-hard fan.
I worked with a person last season who said he was a die-hard NY Giant fan. He was "Big Blue through and through" in his words. He loved them and would not stop talking about them when they were 5-0 last season, but after they started losing and giving up 40+ points in games he hated them. He didn't want anything to do with them. They had become a horrible team and he did not want to be associated with them. As the season went on he jumped onto the NY Jets wagon and not a word about the Giants came from his mouth. Then a week after the Super Bowl it was no longer about the Jets because his cube at work was now decorated in New Orleans Saints colors. How can someone call themselves a die-hard fan of any team when they can't stick to one team? This person went through three teams in one season. Each time saying he was a die-hard fan of each team, but only when they were winning. I'm happy to report that I no longer work with that person.
It actually gets me mad to the point I have to walk away because talking to these kinds of people is useless. They just don't get the true meaning of being a diehard fan of a team. During the 2007 season I knew someone who wanted Tom Coughlin fired from the NY Giants. This same person wanted Eli Manning benched and Jared Lorenzen to be the starter. Of course when the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl that season, then Coughlin became a great coach and did a great job with the team and Manning was the greatest quarterback ever.
As a fan you also have the right to criticize players and coaches. Everyone does it during a long season, but at the same time you cannot give up on a team. As a Cowboys fan I've suffered through three straight championship losses in the 1980s. A three win season in 1988 as well as a one win season in 1989. It was beyond frustrating at times, but when they became the team of the 90s it was great. Why? Because I knew deep down that I never gave up and never stopped being a die-hard fan.
I'm always asked during baseball season if I'm a Yankees fan or a Mets fan. I always say that I'm not a fan of either. I watch both teams and I want both to do well. That makes me simply a person who follows baseball, but I am not a fan of either team. I cannot call myself a fan of either NY baseball team when I enjoy watching both teams. Either someone is a fan or they are not. Someone cannot be a Yankees fan and a Red Sox fan or a Mets fan and a Phillies fan. How about if someone said they were a die-hard fan of the Cowboys and the Giants? If you were a die-hard fan yourself I'm sure you would look at that person like they were crazy.
Being a true diehard fan of a team is the greatest thing in the world. There is nothing better than feeling like you are part of a team and believing that you are going through what they are going through. To all the diehard fans (and you know who you are), I say keep it up. For all those bandwagon fans (and you know who you are), I share this poem with you that was written for bandwagon fans that I'm around every day.
As we continue on with this NFL season.
A Bandwagon fan is among us with no reason.
He smiles when they win and hides when they lose.
He can't tell you the player's names,
But knows enough with the Internet and news.
He's a Bandwagon fan through and through.
Please stay safe because all that jumping can be brutal.
Never a dull moment in a Bandwagon fans life,
Most likely because he can't decide which team is right.
It gets a little confusing week after week,
To those Bandwagon fans who love to leap.
Stay on or Stay off.
That it always the question.
It all depends on the score the day after.
So I plead and I beg to the Bandwagon fans,
Stop rocking the cart and become a real fan.

I got this from NARAL today.
Just this morning, Mitt Romney announced his choice for his vice presidential running mate: Anti-choice extremist Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).Anti-choice forces are thrilled with Ryan, and it's no wonder why:
- During his time in the U.S. House of Representatives, Ryan cast 59 votes on abortion and other reproductive rights issues. He voted anti-choice each and every time.
- Ryan repeatedly voted for and cosponsored the Federal Abortion Ban, a law that criminalizes some abortion services, endangers women's health, and carries a two-year prison sentence for doctors.Ryan is outspoken about his anti-choice beliefs:"I'm as pro-life as a person gets. You're not going to have a truce. Judges are going to come up. Issues come up, they're unavoidable, and I'm never going to not vote pro-life."1
Why does this not surprise me.
Views: 224
Romney was bad enough. Adding Ryan to the republican equation only pours salt on an open wound, never mind issues like defunding Medicare and Planned Parenthood. These guys and their misogynistic policies should scare any woman to death, never mind ANY PERSON who dares to CARE about another.
Continuing this important tangent:
The nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reported that Paul Ryan's budget plan (as the House Budget Committee chairman) gets at least 62% of its cuts from programs for lower-income Americans.
One specific example: his budget would slash SNAP (formerly "food stamps") by more than 17%, ending or cutting benefits for millions of households.
I think there was another discussion about this, in Atheist News or somewhere like that, about how people don't truly believe that Republicans want to do all of the bat-shit insane things that they say they want do do in the primary season. Plus, a lot of people don't pay any attention at all to politics until the primaries are over, so they don't hear anything about the social issues. As far as lots of people are concerned, there's no real difference between the parties, because they only hear the generic, "We're going to create more jobs! My opponent is lying about this!" of the general election. They're too lazy to look up actual fact-checking websites and see who's telling the truth ... and what their REAL positions are.
A lot of people are oblivious to the laws that are ACTUALLY BEING PASSED in states like Virginia, Arizona, and many states in the southeast. It's happening in another state, so they don't pay any attention to it. With that kind of myopic focus, someone could construct this sort of view of the Republican party. It's still horrifying, and I can't stand people who are that intellectually lazy, but it's understandable, from a human perspective.

At its Monday evening meeting at Veronica E. Connor Middle School, the Grand Island Board of Education was updated on the district's multi-million dollar capital improvement project set to begin this summer.
Assistant Superintendent of School Business Services Joe Giarrizzo told trustees that construction bids will be out for one month, but contracts will not be awarded until the State Education Department approves the project plans. Giarrizzo anticipates approval around June 24, and the bidding process should "be wrapped up" by then as well.
Construction will involve all five district buildings over the next two years and includes a new transportation center behind Charlotte Sidway School. "This particular bus garage ... you're going to see people from other districts coming to see this," stated Interim Superintendent of Schools Paul Hashem.
Hashem also informed the board that new superintendent of schools, Dr. Teresa Lawrence, has been communicating with him via "multiple emails and phone calls" and planned meetings with administrators, building principals and union members before her official start on or about June 10. Hashem has also been adding to a "need to know" file for the new chief since he started his interim position with the district back in January.
He further stated that Lawrence will make the final decision on the new high school principal. Hashem said that, initially, five to seven candidates were considered for the position, but that four advanced to the next round of consideration. These were interviewed by committees comprised of school officials, community members and other "stakeholders."
The annual budget vote and trustee election is Tuesday, May 21, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Grand Island High School main gym. Three people on the ballot are Donna Tomkins, Lisa Pyc and Paul Krull. The next regular meeting of the Board of Education is Monday, June 10. The tenure and retiree reception for teachers and other district employees is scheduled for the same evening.
