Seattle Seahawks
Youth not a burden for Pete Carroll
When the NFL draft lights go out, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll picks up the phone.
Just thinking about this makes him smile, pushing up the crinkles in his 62-year-old face. It's a flashback to a feeling he had while running the nation's most successful college football program at USC. He's recruiting all over again. The chase is on.
The oodles of undrafted free agents are pursued with haste after Mr. Irrelevant is selected with the final pick of the draft. With the draft concluded, Carroll is working inside of an approximate 90-minute window.
General manager John Schneider and his scouting department have treated these free agents the same as other draft picks. The research has been extensive for multiple reasons.
First, the Seahawks see young (and inexpensive) players as a core focus. Carroll recently talked about how just last season he thought the team was fresh at the end of the year because of extensive use of young players.
They also want facts to accompany their pitch when Carroll starts dialing. The Seahawks put together and sent to players' agents a brochure covering how much undrafted
free agents have played for them since 2010. Charts inside show how much undrafted free agents play during the exhibition season (Seattle is first in the league), plus the average playing time of undrafted defensive players (fifth) and offensive players (first again).
"We really do believe that young guys can make it," Carroll said. "We believe we can find special qualities guys have based on the way we go about it. (We're) not just trying to throw guys into the wolves and see if they can make it. Give them a chance to do what they do well, show us where they fit, then we'll build on their strengths. That's been a long commitment that we've had. It also helps us win."
For instance, the Seahawks assigned a sixth-round grade to wide receiver Doug Baldwin in 2011. Once the draft was over, and he was not selected, they immediately were on the phone with him.
It's not just the possibility that a guy can stick. The Seahawks also need to fill out a full rookie minicamp roster, which consists of about 50 players.
As Seattle grapples with big signings — such as cornerback Richard Sherman and free safety Earl Thomas — and the salary cap, the development of younger (and inexpensive) players will be crucial. Just as recruiting brings Carroll back to campus, so does the pursuit of developing younger players.
"I found dedication to the younger guys was really crucial. We carried that over," Carroll said. "John and I talked about that when we first got together. He was so surprised I was so committed to young guys. A lot of teams don't utilize that philosophy to put them out there because they're afraid they're going to make mistakes. We've kind of force-fed our guys with a plan. That really did shift when I was in charge at SC."
So, the sales pitch goes something like this: "We won the Super Bowl because, in part, we were willing to let young, undrafted players compete. We'll give you the same shot."
Saturday night, Carroll had his dialing fingers ready. The Seahawks signed nine undrafted free agents, including former University of Washington quarterback Keith Price.
They brought in a linebacker, safety, defensive end and more. Carroll was able to sell each player one main thing: belief in a legitimate chance.

First off I appologize for my slow response. I just noticed today that I had a message from someone. I assume you have figured it out by now, but yes Kim is indeed my son. Thanks for your kind words.
Chris Royston
What's up sportsfan. First off I would just like to say I enjoy your posts. Always fair and less opinionated than most. On a more personal note, are you the father of Kim Royston or was that an inside joke that I'm not aware of? If so, I would like to thank him for transferring to the U and bringing his hard hitting moxy and talent to the program.

After loading a point layer out of a text file (plug in add delimited text layer) saved in ISO 8859-15 (Latin 9) out of Access, I did save the layer under Qgis 1.8 with the ISO 8859-15 encoding.
When going into the properties of the layer, it stays in UTF-8 (layer properties - general - Provider specific options - Encoding). No matter what encoding I set there, after closing and reopening the properties window it still stays in UTF-8.
Encoding seems to be still correct within the desktop Qgis, but when opening the project in the Qgis-web-client, not all special characters are correctly displayed.
Does anybody know a remedy?

My interest in Saint Nicholas and his sidekick, Black Peter, began when I heard a party guest mention that there was an black element in the Dutch Christmas. Some accounts have Nick as Peter's sidekick. Coincidentally, at the time, I was invited to the Netherlands to participate in a poetry conference. While there, I was able to witness the ceremony of St. Nicholas and Black Peter (aka Zwarte Piet) entering the Amsterdam port on a barge. They were accompanied by "Senoritas." The presence of Senoritas suggested that Peter was of Spanish origin–perhaps a Moor who was introduced to the Netherlands when the Spanish occupied the Netherlands from 1556-1566.
When the party came ashore, the actor playing Saint Nick mounted a white horse and began a procession through the streets. Black Peter, a white actor in black face, rode along in a sports car. The children paid more attention to Pete than to Nick. One of the reasons was that it's Pete's job to distribute the gifts. At one time the bag containing the gifts supposedly held naughty children who were kidnapped and taken to Spain.
My curiosity about Saint Nicholas and his relationship led to two novels, "The Terrible Twos," and "The Terrible Threes." I'm currently working on "The Terrible Fours."
"The Terrible Twos" was translated into Dutch by one of the leading Dutch poets, Hans Plomp. It received a rave in The New York Times by reviewer the late John Leonard, but was ignored in the United States, virtually. The Nation magazine said that it was proof that I was done as a novelist. But since I am considered a "cult" writer by some, maybe my cult has kept it in print since 1983.
My Christmas series was influenced by African American artists like Betye Saar and Joe Overstreet, who were transforming stereotypical images of blacks in popular culture. For example, Aunt Jemima, the smiling face on the pancake mix became armed. My Black Peter became a Rastafarian in "The Terrible Twos," and a sort of recovery counselor in the "Threes." My Saint Nicholas is a socialist in both books, but in the coming novel makes a deal with department store owners.
But just as Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr. have been toned down for popular consumption, the smiling rosy cheeked overweight white man in red suit is an American invention. Modifying Clement Moore's rendition of a rotund Santa Claus, the great abolitionist illustrator Thomas Nast dressed him in a red suit for the 1863 Harper's Weekly. This image covers up the real Nicholas who was a troublesome figure for the church because he is ubiquitous like Christ, and he could also be rowdy. In A.D.325, he slapped a man named Arius because he was upset with Arius's claiming that Jesus was not God. Nick was arrested and thrown in jail, not exactly the kindly old gent upon whose lap parents aren't afraid to place their children. Moreover,will these same parents leave cookies and milk out for Nick when they discover that he is the patron saint of prostitutes?
Nicholas has had an on again off again relationship with the Catholic Church. On February 14,1969, he was demoted by Pope Paul VI from the calendar of Saints.
So Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas and Black Peter are more complicated than how they are treated in the popular press.
Black Peter is controversial because the Dutch smear themselves with black face when performing that role. Still, Black Peter is one of the handful of positive traditional images of blacks in Europe. In the popular media in the United States, blacks are sometime portrayed as takers. Black Peter is a giver.
Now was Saint Nicholas white? A debate over the subject recently broke out on Fox News. Saint Nicholas was born in a part of the world that is now present day Turkey. Some say that he was Greek. Others say that we don't know how he and his kinsmen looked.We'll have to await the committee that decides such things for an answer. I imagine them to be blond and blue eyed. Maybe meeting in secret in Iceland. Inspecting a long waiting list of applicants and indignant about America's slack compliance.
The advertising for an art show that I saw in front of a shop located on Ave. A in New York City indicates that the American Christmas is really going to get complicated. The ad carried a portrait of Krampus, Black Peter's evil twin who goes around kidnapping European women and children.While my partner, Carla Blank, and I headed for the theater, where she was assisting director Rome Neal in the production of my new play,"The Final Version," I paused and snapped a photo of it.
I also noticed some kids dressed as Santa migrating from bar to bar as part of something called SantaCon 2013, an annual pub crawl in which people dress up like Santa and other holiday characters.
SantaCon has occurred for years, but after a few particularly rowdy installments, the event has gotten some in the city in a tizzy. Many New Yorkers this year expressed concerns about the level of business at SantaCon, which reportedly draws 30,000 people to New York and has been known to feature Santas puking, shouting and urinating publicly all over town.
SantaCon evokes the image of the 19th Century Xmas as portrayed in an account on stnicholascenter.org with "raucous, drunken mobs roaming the streets, damaging property, threatening and frightening the upper classes." With millions of people out of work, what will future Christmases look like, now that Krampus is back?

"The album was produced by Bo Ramsey, a personal hero of mine for quite some time due to his production work with greats like Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown, Jeffrey Foucault, Pieta Brown, The Pines, and others, as well as Bo's own fantastic solo records. We recorded the album in Iowa City back in August at Minstrel Studios with John Svec at the controls. After that it was passed to Tom Tucker in Minneapolis for mixing, and then on to Yes Master in Nashville, where it was mastered by Alex McCollough.
Old Fashioned features a host of great musicians, including Bo Ramsey himself on electric guitar, Pieta Brown singing harmonies, Bob Black on the banjo, Matt Donoghue (who played on Ghost Towns) on upright bass, and best musical buddy Jeremiah Nelson on a whole host of instruments. Jeremiah also designed that handsome album art above." - JohnStatz.com

Ohio plastics maker moves in with jobs
This is one of those days when the competition between Michigan and Ohio is put aside for an all-business handshake.
Ohio-based Lauren Plastics, a plastics manufacturer that specializes in extruded and molded sealing solutions, has purchased ISO-Trude in Spring Lake Township, according to an announcement by the Grand Haven area chamber of commerce.
ISO-Trude, founded in 1993, has operated as a custom extruder of tight tolerance plastic parts for various industries, including automotive, at 17155 Van Wagoner St., according to LinkedIn.
Lauren Plastics will consolidate operations from Ohio with the lakeshore operations to "continue providing customers with single and multi-material profile and tubing extrusions," the chamber said.
Laruen Plastics, a division of Lauren International, plans to invest up to $7 million at the lakeshore and create 71 jobs.
"In addition to the economic growth for Michigan, the combination of the two businesses at the Spring Lake facility will provide opportunities for the Lauren International family of businesses to better serve our customers' needs," said David Gingrich, CFO at Lauren International.
As part of the move, Lauren Plastics was awarded a $300,000 state grant.
Spring Lake Township is also supporting the deal with a $154,000 tax abatement, and Michigan Works! Ottawa County is providing $70,000 in on-the-job training funds and other assistance.
"We have worked closely with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and local government agencies and the chamber of commerce throughout our evaluation period and are pleased to accept the incentives they have offered in connection with our investment of capital assets and jobs creation, which we will bring to the area," Gingrich said.

Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
TALLADEGA, Ala.
Montreal, au revoir?
How in the world did NASCAR just lose Montreal?
And why?
Here it is: http://bit.ly/SKaKet
There it goes....
Negotiations gone awry?
Negotiations just botched?
Strong-arm tactics rebuffed?
Power play in progress?
Blind-side hit? Looks that way for this sport.
Maybe it's time for a few penalty shots in this deal.
First off, NASCAR appears a step behind at the moment on several fronts. It's mid-October and the Nationwide and Truck tour schedules have yet to be released, and the 2013 Sprint Cup calendar just came out.
Why so slow? What's really going on behind the curtains?
Montreal by night, with NASCAR haulers leaving Gilles Villeneueve after the race for the trek back to North Carolina (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Did Montreal just not work for this sport?
Formula One seems to make it work just fine.
And for the past six summers NASCAR's Nationwide series has played to a nice crowd of 60,000 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, on the scenic Ile de Notre Dame, in the heart of the oh so picturesque and sophisticated French-Canadian city.
Remembering that day a few years back that Ray Evernham flew us up to Montreal to watch George Gillett's Canadiens, playing in the Centre Bell, one of the world's busiest arenas, classy and with such high-tech wizardry...
Remembering how Robby Gordon opened NASCAR's run in town with that wild display of emotion back in 2007....
Marcos Ambrose can make any NASCAR road race exciting, particularly Montreal. Remember his classic battle with Carl Edwards? (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
How can this sport afford to just throw away a market of four million people?
An international market at that. Really the only international market this sport has at the moment.
Is NASCAR really abandoning Montreal to Bernie Ecclestone and the F1 brigade?
Why in the world did NASCAR's negotiations here drag on so long anyway?
Hey, maybe this sport just doesn't need Montreal and its four million. NASCAR already plays in-or-around 13 of the 14 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Maybe Montreal, though it is the 15th largest city in North America, is simply superfluous.
Then again, maybe Jacques Villeneuve simply didn't pan out for NASCAR as a drawing card.
And after all, Toronto, with six million people, is a larger market than Montreal.

NASCAR officials say they hope to be back in Canada eventually with a big league event.

At the moment the most likely scenario for this sport would be a deal with Ron Fellows, the NASCAR-loyal driver, a world-class road racer who runs most all the NASCAR road courses, Cup and Nationwide...and who last year bought the Mosport track -- an hour northeast of Toronto -- with partner billionaire developer Carlos Fidani.
That might work well for this sport. Great town and all. But it doesn't look like a 2013 deal, though there is some talk about a NASCAR Truck race at Mosport.
A Truck race on a road course? In fact there is talk about Trucks running as companion events with the Grand-Am series -- as zany as that sounds. It's enough to make someone wonder just who is in charge of things these days.

This sport's marketing is sometimes suspect, and maybe Montreal is one of those cases.
The NASCAR line, for drivers, car owners and track promoters, and sometimes sponsors too, is pretty blunt and basic: we've got the show, and we'll let you play the game.
Maybe Francois Dumontier, the Montreal promoter, simply didn't play the game right. Maybe he tried to strong-arm NASCAR into giving him a Cup date. Remember how well that 'Cup date' debate played out for Bruton Smith and Texas back in the day?
The city of Montreal owns the Isle and the track, and Dumontier has the lease, for the two race weekends each year the city allows.
Dumontier has other problems too at the moment; one of his subsidiaries just filed for bankruptcy, with $5 million or so in unpaid bills, one reason Indy-car isn't going back to Edmonton.
And Dumontier seems to be saying he never really made any money on the Nationwide races in Montreal.
But then part of NASCAR's responsibility to its race teams and sponsors is to provide the promotion and marketing and television packages that help them go out and sell sponsorships. And lately that part of the deal should be called into question -- tour sponsors appear to either be leaving -- Dodge, Office Depot, Diageo,Red Bull, Aflac, US Army, UPS -- or just shuffling over to another team, recycled.
Losing Montreal won't help things.
Montreal promoter Francois Dumontier: a bluff called? But NASCAR loses a major market. A big league poker game gone awry? (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
But then maybe this Montreal fiasco is a good launching point for a larger debate about the Sprint Cup and Nationwide and Truck tours, and maybe too the soon-to-be merged sports car world of NASCAR Grand-Am and ALMS.
Star crew chief Greg Zipadelli, who runs Tony Stewart's team, took one look Friday afternoon at a copy of the new 2013 Sprint Cup schedule and, partly in jest, tore it in half: "Now this is what we ought to do with it -- which half do you want to run?"
Zipadelli laughed, waving half in one hand and the other half in the other.
The point was clear: the Cup schedule is just too darned long, with too many races, 38 weeks of Cup racing, from Valentine's Day till Thanksgiving.
Want a break?
Let's see, think we've got Easter open. And maybe a weekend in late July.
One issue: how to keep all 23 Cup tour track promoters happy and busy.
NASCAR can't get much closer to the heart of a city of four million people than this (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Uh, but maybe we should be looking at the stands and counting fans, and checking TV ratings, and see if NASCAR Sprint Cup racing is simply oversaturating the country.
Just about everyone at this point of the season is simply flat worn out. And yet we've still got Sunday's typically nerve-wracking 500 here, and then Charlotte next Saturday night, and then Kansas City, and Martinsville, Va., and Fort Worth, Tex., and Phoenix, and finally Homestead-Miami.
Oh, by the way, can you guys squeeze in some Tuesday-Wednesday testing the next month or so too? And be sure to have those new 2013 chassis under that new 2013 sheet metal.....
Goodyear tire engineers and tire builders will be working overtime through Christmas, it looks like, to start stockpiling tires for next season....which remember kicks off Jan. 10th with three or four days of Daytona testing for the Feb. 16th Daytona 500.
Here's the 2013 calendar. What would you change? What glaring mistakes do you see?
In my mind, Fontana, California has long outlived it's usefulness on the schedule. We either need to go back to Rockingham, or make some MAJOR banking increases in Fontana..... or Just bulldoze the place and turn it into a huge parking lot, so we can park Brian France's ego there!
Who knows anymore with this gang. Good point with the question about the fans in the stands. When\\\'s the last time you saw full house at Nascar races? It\\\'s been so long I\\\'ve forgotten when it was. 2007?
Change? How about one visit per track, with two exceptions: Daytona and Charlotte. And even with that, I would be amendable to eliminating the fall Charlotte race. The benefits far outweigh the status quo, and the suddenly large number of open dates throughout the calendar would allow a new market (or bring back Rockingham, for instance) if needed.
If Daytona and Charlotte deserve two dates a year, so do the other tracks that presently have two dates. There are NO benefits from eliminating dates from tracks that can support two dates.
Get off the Rockingham myth. Rockingham is useless for major league racing.
The only changes needed to the schedule are -
Put start times to 12:15 PM.
Put race distances at 400-mile tracks back to 500 miles.
Switch the Diehard 500 at Talladega and the Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville around - Martinsville Oct. 20 and Talladega October 27.
I want to see IRP or Hickory again, not Canada or Mexico because the looniess is too deep for folks to comprehend.
hey mike,I would eliminate both new hampsire races ,they should have called them the BORSVILLE 300 ,race anything but cup cars on the un-magic mile!
I live in Fontana's backyard and attended many races over the past 8 years or so, but for this year and going forward, the wife & I aren't bothering. We will probably take the Friday before the race off and head to the track to check out practice, but as far as going to a race there, no way. Too boring. Same for Vegas too.
It really is too bad about Fontana - it is a very nice facility that unfortunately hosts very boring stock car races.
Your caption under the Montreal photo ironically misses the point of what is wrong with the Montreal race. The fact that the race \"can\'t get much closer to the heart of a city of four million people than this\" is the main reason that my husband and I, who live in Canada, have never attended the Montreal race. Because the race is near the heart of the city there is no camping and no parking at the track which would mean we would need to stay at a hotel and take public transit. Sorry, but for us camping at the track is part of the NASCAR experience. We go to 3 races per year in the USA and have found that the tracks with the biggest traffic headaches are located in urban areas.
We are thrilled with the possibility of a NASCAR race, of any kind, at Ron Fellows MOSPORT track. It is less than 2 hours from where we live, but more importantly it is more than an hour away from Toronto, in a rural area, so big city traffic problems are not an issue. The fact that the first NASCAR race might be a truck race does not concern us. In case anybody hasn\'t noticed, the NASCAR truck series is often more exciting these days than cup racing.
In the long run I think that moving the Canadian race to MOSPORT will be a better move for Canadian NASCAR fans.

Range of body types.... Might be nice to see burning man photography that isn't all 20 year old chicks. Though the before dawn cat herding will be tough.Desert Spirits
by Spencer Tunick
Suffern, NY
We would like to invite you to POSE NUDE in a group photographic installation by artist Spencer Tunick.
Spencer will choose men, women and any gender identity to be part of this unique installation.
In order to be chosen we ask that you please send in a low resolution photograph of yourself.
Participants will be selected based on photographs submitted to the email: projects here: projects (at) spencertunick.com
Please send the image sooner rather than later.
Most installations by Spencer do not have limits to the number of people participating, nor do they require the submission of a photograph. However, for this art work for Burning Man, there is a cap on the number of people participating due to the specific concept of the work.
We are asking for a photograph because we want to have a wide range of body types and skin tonalities represented in the final work. Although everyone is unique, If you are not chosen, it is simply because we may have reached the amount of people with similar specific characteristics. We apologize in advance if you are not chosen for this particular idea but please do not let it deter you from posing in future works by Spencer where there are no number limits.
Chosen participants will be contacted by email prior to August 26th with: the day, time, location and further instructions. Please only sign up if you are committed to participating and able to wake up before sunrise (or stay up all night). The work will take place before sunrise in order to utilize the pre-dawn light. You will be in position when the sun rises.
I actually really like his work. I hate my body, but I'm sorely tempted to make a go at this.

Oh, he just smiled at me (I think). Maybe he forgives me. He's such a magical creature to me.
And the weather is beautiful. How do I forget every year that amazing feeling of running in early spring? I downloaded the songs that SR had put on a mix for me last spring. It gave me such a rush of happiness while running. And made me so, well, horny. It is a bit too soon for another baby, though. Hopefully the LAM (lactation amenorrhea method) won't fail us for a few weeks.
In other news, we went to step-Daughter's teacher conference. It was the two of us, the Bois, the step-Daughter and step-Daughter's mom. The teacher was very complimentary of step-Daughter, but obviously overwhelmed by the social situation at the two homes. Seemed to find it a bit weird. That's pretty annoying since I think step-Daughter gets enough teasing from other kids. But, of course, kids only tease her about the three mom's because they get the idea it's wrong from their parents.
If only people would fight battles that were worth fighting. And not reject things just because they're different. But we're in middle America here. Perhaps she'll move with us to Europe, but that's a while off and it's not my decision to make.
What I do know is the next time I post, I'll be a married woman. I'm not sure why my dream is coming true, but I don't want to waste a minute of our life together.
Here we are one year ago to the day.
We have had a lot of fun this past year.
And I'm still so in love, but now I've got a Bois who just pooped through his diaper and outfit and onto the Boppy.

….preparing for Open Gardens next weekend.
Welcome to my blog. This is just my personal garden and food diary. I'm a flexitarian, vegetarian at home, but more flexible when with friends. I'm trying to grow our own food so we leave a lighter footprint on this precious planet.
Over the past six years I have been transforming a one acre former vineyard on a steep hill into a garden. There are distinct areas; an 80m2 vegetable garden, a small orchard, a pond and a sunken path flanked by two long mixed borders.
We are in a small hamlet near Faugères in the Occitanie (formerly Languedoc) region of France. Our soil is rocky schist. Summer temperatures can reach 40℃ and in winter sink as low as -10℃. Water comes rarely but is diluvial when it does.

Fox's Eric Bolling Doesn't Want To Break Up Families, But ...
Claiming he does not "want to break up families," Fox host Eric Bolling again voiced support for mass deportation -- even endorsing the idea of going into public schools to round up undocumented immigrants. In fact, experts warn that deportations result in broken families, often those of American children, and ultimately impact children's safety and well-being.
Bolling: "I Don't Want To Break Up Families"
Bolling: "I Don't Want To Break Up Families. Those Parents Can Bring Those Kids Back With Them If They Want To." During an interview with Fox News' Geraldo Rivera in which Rivera criticized Eric Bolling's immigration coverage and rhetoric, Bolling repeated his support for mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. Asked by Rivera if he would go into public schools and round up undocumented immigrants, Bolling replied: "Sure." He then added: "I don't want to break up families. Those parents can bring those kids back with them if they want to." [Fox Business, Follow the Money, 12/2/11]
But Bolling Supports Mass Deportation ...
Bolling Previously Said He Supports Deporting Millions By Bus. On his Fox Business show, Bolling discussed immigration with Fernando Mateo, president of Hispanics Across America, and Republican strategist Tony Sayegh:
SAYEGH: You do have to create a certain path to citizenship for those who are here and, as a Republican Party, I am very concerned when we get way too rhetorical about our immigration policy. It's a very practical problem. We have millions of illegals in this country. No one, that I know of, has advocated putting them on buses and sending them back but we do have to become the party that gives a certain --
BOLLING: Oh, you know, I gotta tell you, Tony, I have.
SAYEGH: Well --
BOLLING: I'm one of the ones -- I'm sorry, it sounds harsh, it sounds cold but, you know, you're here illegally, you broke the law. [Fox Business, Follow the Money, 9/21/11]
Bolling Previously Dismissed Impact Of Breaking Up Families By Deportation: "They're Illegals." After The Five co-host Bob Beckel stated that aggressive deportation has "picked up people who are not supposed to be deported," including the children of undocumented immigrants that were born in this country - and thus are American citizens, Bolling dismissed the concern that deportation breaks up families, responding: "[T]hey're illegals." [Fox News, The Five, 8/19/11]
... Which Breaks Up Families
Applied Research Center: "[A]t least 5,100 Children Whose Parents Are Detained Or Deported Are Currently In Foster Care." Colorlines.com reported:
In a yearlong investigation, the Applied Research Center, which publishes Colorlines.com, found that at least 5,100 children whose parents are detained or deported are currently in foster care around the United States. That number represents a conservative estimate of the total, based on extensive surveys of child welfare case workers and attorneys and analysis of national immigration and child welfare trends. Many of the kids may never see their parents again.
These children, many of whom should never have been separated from their parents in the first place, face often insurmountable obstacles to reunifying with their mothers and fathers. Though child welfare departments are required by federal law to reunify children with any parents who are able to provide for the basic safety of their children, detention makes this all but impossible. Then, once parents are deported, families are often separated for long periods. Ultimately, child welfare departments and juvenile courts too often move to terminate the parental rights of deportees and put children up for adoption, rather than attempt to unify the family as they would in other circumstances.
While anecdotal reports have circulated about children lingering in foster care because of a parent's detention or deportation, our investigation provides the first evidence that the problem occurs on a large scale. If these cases continue mounting at the same pace over the next five years, 15,000 children of detained and deported mothers and fathers will likely be separated from their parents and languish in U.S. foster homes.

Following Deportation, Undocumented Mother Left Behind Her Three American Children. In an article about how deportations tear families apart, USA Today chronicled an undocumented woman's deportation from Oregon to Mexico, in the process leaving behind her American family. The woman also explained why she didn't want her school-aged children to join her in Mexico:
After living for 21 years in the U.S., [Liliana] Ramos, 39, was deported to Mexico in September, separated from the two daughters and son she has raised as a single mother since her ex-husband left them seven years ago.
She had lacked legal immigration status since crossing the border into the U.S. as a teenager with her parents, so the threat of arrest and deportation was always there. Even so, Lily, as she is known to friends, had hoped her clean record and two decades of work, paying taxes, going to church and providing for her U.S.-born children would allow her a path to legal status or at least avoid deportation.
Ramos was released after her arrest in January and won a few more months to line up care for her daughters, Karleen, 11, a sixth-grader, and Ashley, 16, a high school junior. A son, Brian, 19, is looking for work and hopes to enter community college. Two relatives care for the younger children .
In September, Ramos bid a teary farewell and drove across the U.S.-Mexican border at San Ysidro, Calif., to a country where she had little connection or family. She has been sleeping in a room lent by the friend of a friend and lives off her small savings. She has been unable to find a job or get the necessary Mexican documents, including a birth certificate, that she needs to work.
Ramos says her children have discussed joining her in Mexico but she is against it. Her kids are U.S. citizens and don't know enough Spanish to transfer to Mexican schools without repeating several grades, she says. Without a job, she has no way to support them.
"The whole way we live now is different," says Brian Tapia, her son. "My sisters are going through depression. ... My little sister is crying a lot. We're all really sad. ... It's really hard, being without her." [USA Today, 12/5/11]
FACT: Deported And Detained Parents Face Steep Odds In Reuniting With Children
Report: It Is Not Uncommon For Deported Or Detained Parents To Lose Parental Rights. An April 2010 report by First Focus, an "organization dedicated to making children and families a priority in federal policy and budget decisions," estimated that "one child is affected for every two adults arrested in a workplace raid." The report highlighted the following story:
Encarnacion is a Guatemalan national and the mother of a young son. She was apprehended during a worksite raid in 2007. Through a series of events out of Encarnacion's control, her 6-month-old son was placed in the care of an American couple. The couple later filed a motion to terminate Encarnacion's parental rights and adopt the boy. Encarnacion was never aware that family court proceedings were underway and was therefore not able to fully participate in decisions regarding her son's care.
The notice to terminate her parental rights and the right to appeal were only provided in English, although her native language is Spanish. Furthermore, Encarnacion did not receive counsel until after the custody hearing and judgment was entered. Custody was terminated, and she is still fighting to get her son back. [First Focus, "Immigration Enforcement And Family Separation," 3/18/10]
Report: Parents Face Strict Challenges In Reuniting With Their Child In The Welfare System Following Detention. According to First Focus:
Once an immigrant family is involved in the child welfare system, there are several challenges immigrant parents face in reunifying with their child. In some cases, biased family court judges may inappropriately base their decision on a parent's immigration status rather than their demonstrated parenting capacity. Language and cultural barriers, limited access to services, and the difficulty of navigating both the immigration and child welfare systems also threaten an immigrant parent's ability to meet case plan requirements and timelines.
Immigrant parents who are detained for immigration purposes encounter additional challenges that threaten their ability to meet [Adoption and Safe Families Act's] requirements. In some cases, child welfare staff is unable to locate a parent's whereabouts, either because the information is not made readily available by the local ICE agency office, or because the parent has been transferred out of the state or deported. If a parent is detained, it is virtually impossible for that parent to meet case plan requirements, such as participating in parenting classes or regular visits with their child.
Detained parents are also unlikely to be able to participate meaningfully in child welfare agency case meetings or in state court proceedings related to a child's care and custody. Deportation cases often can and do last longer than the ASFA 15 month timeline. Furthermore, child welfare agency's attempts to place children with family members may be complicated by the fact that undocumented adults are often considered ineligible to become foster parents by most child welfare agencies. All these obstacles increase the time in which separated children are involved in the child welfare system and create the risk for inappropriate termination of parental rights under ASFA's strict timetable and requirements. [First Focus, "The Impact Of Immigration Enforcement On Child Welfare," March 2010]
Applied Research Center: Undocumented Parents Risk Re-Entry To Appear At Juvenile Court Hearings. Colorlines.com reported that deported parents often risk apprehension by illegally re-entering the United States to reclaim their children:
Many deported parents make the tormented decision to make the bloody desert journey over the U.S.-Mexico border without papers so that they can be present at juvenile court hearings. Caseworkers around the country said that in many cases, when a parent of a foster child is deported, they are back weeks later to appear in a juvenile courtroom to try and reclaim their children.
The risks of crossing are enormous. In addition to growing violence in Mexico against migrants crossing into the U.S., immigrants caught in the country after a previous deportation now face prison time. Until recently, immigrants who were deported before were simply deported again. Now, "illegal reentry" is treated as a federal criminal offense that carries sentences of years. The charge now accounts for nearly half of all federal criminal prosecutions. [Colorlines.com, 11/2/11]
FACT: Deportations Negatively Impact Children's Well-Being, Development
Report: "The Impacts On Child Well-Being And Family Unity Resulting From Such Enforcement Activities Are Immeasurable." In its March 2010 report, First Focus found that "over 5 million children in the United States with at least one undocumented parent are at risk of unnecessarily entering the child welfare system when a parent is detained or deported." The organization noted:
In many cases, schools, early learning and child care centers, social service agencies, and communities are unprepared to respond adequately to protect the best interests of children left behind. Often, detained parents are not able to make child care arrangements, resulting in the unnecessary placement of their children in the child welfare system. Once a child is placed into foster care, it is extremely difficult for a detained parent to reunify with his or her child, especially if that parent is transferred to an out-of-state detention facility or deported before regaining custody of his or her child. [First Focus, "Immigration Enforcement And Family Separation, 3/18/10]
Study: "Separations Pose Serious Risks To Children's Immediate Safety, Economic Security, Well-Being, And Longer-Term Development." In a February 2010 study examining "the consequences of parental arrest, detention, and deportation on 190 children in 85 families," the Urban Institute found that parent-child separations pose "serious risks to children's immediate safety, economic security, well-being, and longer-term development." The study went on to document other negative effects, including housing instability, food hardship, and adverse behavioral changes in children. Discussing the sometimes painful choices families faced as a result of deportations, the study reported:
In the long term, at least 20 families in our study experienced the deportation of a parent and were forced to confront painful decisions about whether children would leave the country with the deported parent or remain in the United States with either the other parent or another relative. In eight of these families, some or all of the children went with one or both parents to the parents' countries of origin, and in 12 cases, children remained in the United States, separated from one of their parents. The whole family left to join the deported parent in some of these cases, while in others the parents and siblings were split between countries.
Our time frame was not long enough to assess the impacts on children who faced separations following deportation or, in most cases, to know the ultimate outcome regarding deportations and longer-term separations. Finally, in a few cases, parents returned illegally to the United States to be reunited with their children and families. The return journeys were rough, and one parent died the day after he was reunited with his family. [Urban Institute, "Children in the Aftermath of Immigration Enforcement," 2/2/10]
And Most Children Of Undocumented Immigrants Are American Citizens
Nearly 80 Percent Of Undocumented Immigrants' Children Were Born In America. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, "nearly four-in-five (79%) of the 5.1 million children (younger than age 18) of unauthorized immigrants were born in this country and therefore are U.S. citizens. In total, 4 million U.S.-born children of unauthorized immigrant parents resided in this country in 2009, alongside 1.1 million foreign-born children of unauthorized immigrant parents."

Accusations fly in Detroit Masonic Temple lawsuits
Aug. 26, 2013 - 7:00 AM
Written by Eric D. Lawrence
Detroit Free Press Staff Writer http://www.tennessean.com/article/C4/20130826/NEWS01/308260041/Masonic-Temple-lawsuit-Detroit
An ugly legal battle that pits the owners of the Detroit Masonic Temple against the building's former management company has thrust the iconic landmark into the spotlight in the last year, ensnaring several prominent businesspeople in the case and prompting embarrassing headlines for the 87-year-old facility.
The Masonic Temple Association, which owns the Masonic Temple, booted the management company, Halberd Holdings, out of the facility last year. The association claims, among other things, that Halberd was ruining the temple's reputation by not paying its bills and hiring felons, such as former Macomb County Sheriff William Hackel, who was convicted in 2000 of two counts of criminal sexual conduct and is a registered sex offender, as head of security.
The financial issues led DTE Energy to threaten last year to shut off the entertainment venue's power, because of a more than $300,000 overdue bill, and required rocker Jack White's intervention to save the temple from tax foreclosure.
Dueling lawsuits were launched beginning in November, when the association sued Halberd in Wayne County Circuit Court on allegations that included breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Halberd filed a countersuit in January, making its own claims of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. But Halberd also claims it has an ownership stake in the Masonic and wants a judge to force the association to negotiate a purchase agreement with the company.
Jason Abel, the attorney representing the Masonic Temple Association, dismissed Halberd's claims as bogus.
"I think all of their claims are egregious and without merit. The fact that they're contending that they have any right to take ownership of the Masonic Temple is wholly baseless," Abel said. "The Masonic Temple is an important fixture in the Detroit community, and it's unfortunate that certain individuals are trying to undermine its effective operation in an attempt to obtain monies that they're not entitled to."
Abel filed a motion in Wayne County Circuit Court asking that sanctions be imposed against Halberd and its law firm, Norman Yatooma and Associates, citing delays in turning over documents as part of the discovery process. During a court hearing Friday, the firm was given 30 days to turn over documents. Yatooma, perhaps best known for his spirited advocacy on behalf of the family of slain stripper Tamara Greene, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Severed ties
The legal case represents a dramatic undoing of a relationship that was supposed to provide stability to the Masonic Temple's operations but instead ended up in court. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and touted as the largest Masonic temple in the world.
Halberd, hired in 2011, is accused of having accrued more than $1.2 million in debt related to expenses tied to the Masonic Temple the month before it was booted from the facility, but Masonic officials paint the facility's current finances as stable.
Halberd, which denied many of the allegations in the initial suit, says in its countersuit that the Masonic owed $900,000 when Halberd took over management and that the company was brought in both to pay down the debt and develop new business for the temple. It says Halberd was entitled to manage the temple for two years, which should have given it until this coming fall.
In addition, Halberd claims that when it was locked out of the temple, the company lost access to production equipment and other items as well as $50,000 in cash in a safe on the premises. Halberd says the equipment is worth $2 million, but Masonic officials say it is worth a fraction of that.
The legal case also hasensnared several prominent individuals, including former Detroit Lions star Mel Farr and Donald Foss, the founder of Southfield-based Credit Acceptance Corp. Both men had ties they have since severed to Halberd — Farr as a named investing member and Foss through another company called Longstock III.
Foss, who was listed by Forbes Magazine among America's wealthiest people in the 1990s, withdrew Longstock III from Halberd in March 2012.
The date of Farr's separation from Halberd is unclear. In a brief phone conversation, Farr said he would need to check with some people before he could talk but then did not respond to follow-up requests for comment.
Halberd's remaining investing membersaccording to court records are attorney Michael J. Smith, who has an office in Mt. Clemens, and Matthew Mazer, a New York filmmaker. In a copy of an April 2012 e-mail sent from Farr to Smith, he lashes out, saying he felt like he had been taken for a fool.
"I want my ... money back," according to Farr's e-mail. "I want the management of the MTA (the association) to know exactly how you and Matt took them, and the investor I brought to the table, on this horrific ride."
It's unclear how Smith and Mazer are connected, and neither responded to multiple requests for comment.
Mazer's Internet Movie Database page credits him with being a producer and writer on "Buried Prayers" in 2010 and "Keepers of Eden" in 2007, and it lists him as co-executive producer on the 1994 animated film, "The Swan Princess." Mazer's personal life was in the news after his nanny, Patricia Francois, sued him in 2009, saying he had attacked her for telling him to stop berating his daughter about her preparation for a holiday skit. Mazer filed a counterclaim, alleging an assault by Francois, who was eventually awarded almost $14,000 as well as attorney fees for the assault and associated overtime claims.
The case, according to various news outlets, sparked a protest outside Mazer's Manhattan apartment over the treatment of domestic workers.
A list of accusationsHalberd's claims to an ownership stake in the Masonic Temple rest on whether it is allowed to assume the role of Longstock III. The Masonic Temple Association and Longstock III had held out the possibility that the Masonic could eventually have been sold to Longstock III under certain conditions. That never happened, and Halberd, which was only the management company, announced that it was stepping into Longstock III's shoes after Foss pulled Longstock out of Halberd. But Masonic officials say such a sale is off the table when it comes to Halberd.
Halberd had set up its own company, Detroit Masonic Temple Theatre Co., to manage the Masonic, which the association claims was not authorized and was designed to shield Halberd from its creditors. DMTTC was incorporated in November 2011, with Smith as the incorporator. In January 2012, Foss sent a letter to Smith asking that Halberd dissolve itself. The letter cited "a number of recent unauthorized activities" and a failure to provide certain financial reports. In March, after Smith replied that Halberd could not dissolve, Foss withdrew Longstock III from its membership in Halberd.
DMTTC filed for bankruptcy protection in June of this year. News of that filing prompted a flurry of news reports that incorrectly assumed the owners of the Masonic Temple were the ones filing for bankruptcy protection. DMTTC also was sued by the temple owners but its involvement in the lawsuits is likely sidelined by the bankruptcy filing.
The lawsuits themselves are a treasure trove of accusations. In making its case that Halberd failed to manage the Masonic as a first-class entity, the temple referenced a performance in the Masonic parking lot in May 2012 by DJ Pauly D, whose real name is Paul DelVecchio. The suit claims that Halberd investing member Smith tried to force DJ Pauly D to provide a private concert afterward but let him go when Smith realized he could not legally hold the performer.
The suit also claims that Halberd failed to pay payroll taxes for its employees regularly and that Halberd replaced whistle-blowers with felons. The suit says at least one member of Halberd is believed to have taken Masonic Temple revenue for his own personal account.
