In Lyons, residents took shelter on higher ground, including some at an elementary school, before National Guard convoys pushed through the water.
Dawn Lundell and John Johnson decided not to wait, instead hiking from the town through 200 yards of water in a canal. They described a "calm, reasonably festive" atmosphere among those who remained.

"Nobody minds roughing it a little bit in Lyons. We're all outdoorsy people. We call it Mayberry. Everybody helps each other," Lundell said.
By Friday afternoon, National Guard helicopters had rescued almost 300 people who got stuck in the small community of Jamestown, northwest of Boulder. County spokeswoman Liz Donaghey said two choppers were airlifting as many people as they could carry.
Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said he expected to evacuate 2,500 people by the end of the Friday. Supplies were being airdropped to those awaiting help in Jamestown.
The weather service warned Friday of more flash flooding in Loveland. In the town of Drake, the Big Thompson River was more than 4 feet above flood stage. The Big Thompson caused the deadliest flash flood in state history in 1976, when about a foot of rain fell in just four hours, killing 144 people.
Jose Ayala spent Friday morning picking through what was left of his family's possessions in their two-story farmhouse near Berthoud. He and his sons watched the waters rise all Thursday evening, finally making the decision to flee at 11 p.m. with some documents and a computer.
"The rest is in the house. All gone, basically," Ayala said.
Some of the flooding was exacerbated by wildfire "burn scars" that have spawned flash floods all summer in the mountains. The flames strip away vegetation that normally helps absorbs excess water and leave a residue behind that sheds water.
Authorities raised the death toll to four Friday after finding the body of a woman who was swept away Thursday after the vehicle she was riding in got stuck in water north of Boulder. A man in the same vehicle died after he got out trying to help her.
One person was killed when a structure in Jamestown collapsed. Another man was found dead in a Colorado Springs creek.
Rain from the same storm also drenched drought-stricken New Mexico, sending rivers out of their banks, closing roads and stranding children at schools. Evacuations were reported from Las Vegas to Truth or Consequences.
Associated Press writers Colleen Slevin, Steven K. Paulson and Thomas Peipert in Denver contributed to this report.

Mizz Nina and Jay Park sizzle on new single 'Around The World'
The much-loved Malaysian pop star has added more notches to her belt since making 2010 her launch pad to a sensational solo singing career with her debut album What You Waiting For, led by the hit single of the same name with LA-based artist-producer Colby O'Donis. 2012 saw her prolonging her pop music domination with the release of her sophomore album Takeover, featuring the infectious title track with global hip hop star Flo Rida.
Collaborations with internationally acclaimed talents have always proved to be a winning formula for Mizz Nina and this time, she's set to shine even more with this unique collaboration with K-pop's consummate entertainer and fan favourite Jay Park. The multitalented singer, songwriter, rapper, music producer, dancer, b-boy, choreographer, actor, model and former leader of Korean boyband 2PM was a natural choice for this new project following a fruitful encounter at MTV World Stage.
Live In Malaysia 2012. The pair then proceeded to record in separate studios from December 2012 and thereafter in January 2013, Mizz Nina travelled to Seoul to complete the music video directed by Namil Cho–who previously worked on Mizz Nina's first music video 'Sometimes' as well as South East Asian supergroup Project E.A.R.'s 'Marabahaya' and all the music videos for Thai-American hip hop trio Thaitanium.
'Around The World' embodies a universal sound and catchy arrangement, which provide the perfect balance for these two charismatic artists as they merge their individual energies to create an explosive sound. The single was produced by Seattle-born singer, music producer, b-boy and illustrator Cha Cha Malone, who was first introduced to Asian audiences in 2010 via his work on Jay Park tracks 'Bestie' and 'Speechless'. Since then, Malone has continued to compose for Park on the latter's albums Take A Deeper Look and New Breed, both of which have reached notable positions on the Billboard charts and iTunes Korea. He has also produced for South Korean acts like B1A4, Brian Joo, U-Kiss and Tiny-G.

Alice Walker: There is an attempt, fueled by corporations that sell meat, drugs, religion and other life choices, to control the population's way of eating, worshipping, and expressing the desire to create something different. There are gate-keepers in academia and in literary societies and establishments whose job is to spot the work that could mean fewer hamburgers being sold, fewer drugs purchased, and much less organized religion consumed etc., and to discredit it. I used to wonder why certain people who obviously had no admiration for people of color, women, or the poor, were in positions to say which of my works would be applauded and which not.

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

and let's change the way we treat each other.

what we gotta do, to survive.

Sushi to me is more than just raw fish and rice. It's an art form that requires years of practice to master. Mediocre sushi restaurant are a dime a dozen in Vancouver, but truly authentic sushi is very hard to come by. Based on recommendations from others food blogs, CL and I visited Ajisai sushi located in an ally next to London Drugs on West Blvd and 41st Ave. This little Japanese owned sushi restaurant serves up the freshest fish and had been praised by many others to have the best sushi in GVRD.
The place was packed for a Friday afternoon and luckily we got seated at the sushi bar so I got to witness the sushi chefs making our food. I was amazed at their knife skills and how fresh every piece of fish looked. After looking at the regular menu and the specials, we decided to share the dynamite combo and the spicy maki combo.
First to arrive was the miso soup and salad that was part of the dynamite combo. The miso soup was seasoned perfectly for my taste, being rich and full of depth but not salty at all. The sesame dressing for the salad was a refreshing change from the usual sweet dressing offered at other Japanese restaurants. It was tart and aromatic, which complemented the vegetables well. Just based on the side dishes alone I could tell Ajisai was not an ordinary sushi restaurant.
The sushi combos arrived at the same time and were personally delivered by the sushi chef. I dug into the dynamite combo first which also included 5 nigiris (salmon, tuna, ika, tako and masago). Every piece of fish tasted amazingly fresh and was complemented by the perfectly cooked rice with just the right amount of rice vinegar. My favorite of the bunch was the salmon nigiri. The piece I had was from the belly of the fish which meant it was well marbled, buttery and melt in my mouth tender. Next up was the dynamite roll. Unlike the dynamite rolls I've had before, this roll was made with fresh prawns and had tempura bits inside. This small alteration made the roll taste more fresh and less oily. The texture and acidity of the rice was again perfect and the rolls was well made.
I dug into the spicy combo next which included spicy salmon, tuna and scallop rolls. The fish and rice were again perfect, and the spicy sauce they used elevated these rolls to a whole new level. Instead of the spicy and sweet concoction used by other restaurant, Ajisai used an acidic and spicy sauce which didn't overpower the natural flavors of the fish and brought out its natural sweetness. The chilies they used in the sauce were tasted different, having very pronounced chilli flavors and a smokey after taste. The only imperfection these rolls had was the fact that they were not rolled perfectly. The rice was not formed very tightly and a few fell apart when I tried to pick them up.
As you can tell by now, the combination of fresh ingredients and well balanced rice made Ajisai stand out above the rest. This was possibly the best sushi I've ever had and I'm already planning my next visit. Despite being slightly pricier than other similar restaurants, Ajisai more than made up for it in terms of taste and I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience real Japanese sushi.

Learn about key events in history and their connections to today.
On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya gained its independence from Britain. "With Britain's Union Jack replaced by the black, red and green flag of the new states, political power in Britain's last East African colonial holding slipped from the grasp of its 55,759 whites and was taken up by its 8,365,942 Africans," wrote The New York Times.
The road to independence began in the 1950s with the Mau Mau Rebellion. The Mau Mau movement was a militant African nationalist group that opposed British colonial rule and its exploitation of the native population.
Mau Mau members, made up primarily of Kikuyu (the largest ethnic group in Kenya), carried out violent attacks against colonial leaders and white settlers. In 1952, the colonial government declared a state of emergency and arrested many Kenyan independence leaders, including moderates who had little or no connection to the Mau Mau, like Jomo Kenyatta, president of the Kenya African Union.

For every donation we get the rest of this month, we will donate a part of it to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Charity. My father died of this horrible cancer disease and we need a cure for people!! Please help by donating to not only help those less fortunate but those with cancer also. Help us find a cure! Every penny helps!
Thank you!
A friend of mine was just recently diagnosed with cancer of the appendix. Very unfortunately, this type of cancer is not curable and very rare. The life expectancy is only 5 years or less afterwords :( He is only 36 years old, been married since right after high school and has 2 beautiful girls that are only around 12 and 9.
He is definitely a fighter and will never give up this battle. If anyone can survive it will be him! But it will be a tough one and the bills will pile up and he will not be able to work as he starts chemotherapy soon.
I just ask that anyone that can donate anything, even 1 dollar, would greatly be appreciated. They don't know that I am doing this but its my way of trying to help out even a little bit. He is one of my best friends. And way to young for this. He is terrified not of dying but of leaving his little girls behind with no father to raise them.
So please if you can, will you help? Will you be a part of being in difference in someones life?
I thank you…

Not really.
Does a single socket make it grossly over powered reletive to... say.. Making a mount? (Tailor/Engineer)? or Self Only Ring Enchants (enchanters)?
They should make it consistant with the fur linings tho' But I think it would break the object model. Sockets are stack with Enchants on all gear. Fur Linnings are just 'Leather worker' enchants.
It is not like they can put a socket on EVERY piece of gear the own, just hands and wrists, I believe.
/shrug. I don't play a BS, but this doesn't bother me.
It's not really overpowered, because if you look at something like leatherworking, they get a massive spell damage or AP attachment to bracer. I think the SP one is something like 80? Whereas you can only socket whatever the highest spell damage gem is ( I have no idea what it actually is, but I can't see it being more than 18) So you could have something like 18+18+one enchant vs. the huge 80 to bracers.
Sorry if those numbers are off, I think they're reasonably close, at least for demonstration purposes.

Wide-load park performance.
No matter what your skill level is or how big your feet are, the DC Focus Wide Snowboard is equipped to help you with freestyle progression. Thanks to the playful Anti-Camber profile and buttery Astro core, the Focus is a blast in the park, but the raised tip and tail give it enough float to hold its own when you wake up to two feet of fresh snow.
- Anti-Camber gives you a long, stable flat zone between your bindings, and rocker at the tip and tail for a playful, forgiving board that also floats in pow
- Biax glass provides a loose feel
- Astro Core is wood reinforced to keep it buttery
- Camber Core uses arched fiberglass and wood in the Anti-Camber zone to add pop and stability
- Twin shape makes dropping switch a snap, and Radius to Flat tip and tail provide extra float in pow
- Extruded True base is easy to repair
- Structurn base uses golf ball-like dimples to break water tension for added speed

PROOF: The Zombie Apocalypse is REAL
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012
From the Miami Herald:
Naked man killed by Police near MacArthur Causeway was 'eating' face off victim.
After hearing gunshots, a road ranger went to the scene and found a naked man chewing on another man's face. A police officer was also flagged down and told the man to back away, but he didn't move and continued the unflinching assault. The officer shot him but the attacker still failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to keep firing (at least a half dozen times, according to witnesses on the scene). The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police, but is still alive.
Time to start crafting your own own zombie survival wish list?

MERRILLVILLE | The Fisch family is praying for a lot of things. For one, no rain on April 27.
"That would be nice," Lisa Fisch said, "and hopefully it will be a little warmer than what it has been."
Whatever the forecast, Lisa is anxious to enjoy the outdoors again. For the better part of the past year, she's been surrounded by the four walls of her Merrillville home after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
"It's been very rough ... rough on me and my family," Lisa said of her ongoing battle, which includes energy-draining chemotherapy treatments. "They've managed to find a block for the pain, but I'm always tired ... I don't have much of an appetite."
Lisa's daughter, Megan, was hit hard by the news. The Merrillville and Purdue University graduate had recently moved home after earning her degree in environmental health.
"I started searching the web and emailing people for any information I could get on (pancreatic cancer)," Megan said. "That's when I came across this."
It was Pacreatic Cancer Action Network's PurpleStride Chicago 5K run/walk on April 27 in Lincoln Park.
"I said to Mom, 'Why don't we do this? And we can do it together'," Megan said.
Neither Lisa no Megan had participated in a 5K before, thus they will opt for the walk pace. Lisa hopes she will be well enough to complete the course.
"But they have a short-cut for those who may need to take it," Lisa said. "There will be other cancer patients participating."
So far the team Megan has formed, "Love for Lisa" is 17 members strong.
"A lot of them are friends of the family," Lisa said, "and some I have no idea who they are, but I'm happy they signed up."
Among the team members Lisa does know is her husband, Mike. Unlike his wife and daughter, Mike has experience in long-distance running, having served in the Marines.
"But my knees are a little too shot for this," Mike said. "My role is primarily to drive them there and drive them back."
As of April 10, Love for Lisa has raised more than $1,600 in PurpleStride pledges. Overall, more than $230,000 has been raised in pursuit of a goal of $525,000.

A consumer alert to be aware of...
The company is called National Business Advertising Inc.
It makes sports calendars and sells advertising spots to businesses.
A salesperson representing the company called KWQC to buy a tv commercial for its product.
When we looked into it, the company's reputation doesn't add up.
Iowa Better Business Bureau Chief Chris Coleman says, "The risk is that they're paying money for advertising but no advertising is ever really placed."
Coleman says the BBB has logged 33 complaints against NBAI over the last three years. 30 of those complaints have been closed. There's none in Iowa, but Coleman warns, "There seems to always be a rotating company or two that offer opportunities like this and most all of them go bad."
The complaints have common themes. The product doesn't show up on time and employees don't respond in a timely manner. We tried calling NBAI ourselves.
"Thanks for calling NBAI, if you know your party's extension press 1, enter the extension then press pound, for all other calls or to reach the operator press 0," said the phone message.
We had no luck reaching the operator. The answering service just rings for 15 seconds and repeats itself.
We tried using the extension the salesperson gave us.
The phone system said, "The extension number you have dialed does not exist. thanks for calling NBAI."
Coleman recommends potential customers stay away from out of town salespeople in the first place. Instead, go to someone local if possible.
"Businesses that they know who can prove the money they spent on advertising was actually placed and advertised."
Preventing any headaches that an out of town company may cause.
NBAI's business registration with the state of Kentucky was dissolved by state officials last year after it did not file required paperwork.

There's been talk about Packers veteran wide receiver Donald Driver being a target for the Vikings in the off-season. But you can cross him off the wish list after Driver announced his retirement Thursday morning on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning Show.
"There are other things out there," said Driver, who saw his playing time reduced significantly this season. He caught only eight passes for 77 yards this season, his 14th in the NFL.
Driver didn't disclose many details, saying he's planning a public event in Green Bay for next week to talk more about his decision.
One thing he did say: He won't be doing a Brett Favre.
"I'm not coming back," Driver said. "The thing is, you know, you just don't want to jump back and forth."
A Green Bay TV report over the weekend mentioned the Vikings' interest in Driver.
Driver's career statistics are here.

I watched an infuriating CNN interview where Van Der Sloot's ex New York lawyer defends him and the "coincidence" of all this. A girl is found dead 5 years to the day after Natalie Holloway's disappearance. Her body and blood all over his hotel room. He flees. And magically his hair color is CHANGED when he is discovered in another country. Odd coincidence, that. :P
So sad for the families of the girls. I hope justice will be served.

Maybe It's a Political Problem
Aggh, I'm really frustrated with the Geithner plan and frustrated with Obama (for the first time ever) for letting a plan like this be presented.
What frustrates me is that the Obama team won't address the two main criticisms of the plan, which are
(a) that the gov't will subsidize private investors to buy "toxic" assets from banks, for which they take huge profits if things go well and very small losses if things go badly
(b) even worse, the toxic assets have much less intrinsic value than this plan supposes and, in that case, it won't work no matter what is bought and sold.
If true, then you have a situation where private investors walk away rich (or unharmed), the financial system stays broken, so the economy can't recover, and the gov't gets much closer to running out of money. Big fail.
And the above criticism of the Geithner plan comes from five or six economists or experts (and many more) on the "outside" who are as at least as sharp as those on Obama's team. They may not be right on every point, but what they do have is a complete argument that makes sense.
Why doesn't the Geithner plan make the same kind of sense? And why can't Obama's team address these concerns? It's very unsettling because the result of failure … can't be overstated.
Yet here, in a nut shell, is what Obama's team has to say about these concerns:
Larry Summers: "I didn't understand his argument.": http://snipurl.com/eh2qc
That response is so insulting and inappropriate because, clearly, he/they does understand the argument but can't address it politically, which is usually okay, but *not in this case.*
This situation has transcended politics, but with no response from Obama or his team, we don't know how much is due to political maneuvering and how much is a bet - a belief - that "a" is a necessary evil and "b" won't happen.
If it's the latter and they really feel this plan has legs and "b" in particular - i.e., an all-in bet by the gov't that the value of these toxic assets won't stay depressed in this new economy but will rise as markets stabilize to a level that makes everyone whole - then we have to know what gives them such confidence.
Just this morning, Geithner said to Congress:
Rep. Gresham Barrett: What is the backup plan?
Secretary Geithner: This plan will work.
Why? Tell us why it will work when there is a good argument that it won't?
There is also a growing sense that if this plan doesn't work, and things don't return to normal, the method for dealing with it in which the gov't uses public money to fund investment with private investors who get big rewards but take little risk could become embedded in the system. In other words, capitalism becomes a stunted capitalism for the few, which is most definitely not good for you and me, and the only way the market can operate, and so it will be tried again . .. and one more time … until it has real staying power.
I must say that the Geithner plan, as it's played out over the past few months, gives me a low level of confidence in our political system and its ability to handle a completely unprecedented financial/economic crisis. This is encapsulated in the fact that some of the top economic people in the country (Roubini, Buffett, Krugman, Ehrenberg, Haque, and so on) can't ask a simple, consensus-based question and get an answer to it.
I wouldn't be surprised at all that if Geithner and Summers and others on the Obama economic team - and Obama himself - were on the outside they would be asking the same questions. So, it's the political system that's broken, that finds itself in the deep end of a pool unable to swim, and I'm concerned it's almost going to have to break down before we can get to the bottom of this financial/economic crisis and set a new course.
Maybe when this is all said it done, that's what it will take. We'll have to rebuild the political system, too.

"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much" - President Ronald Reagan
Know your stuff before you present dude!
What do you get when the audience knows more about a bill than the presenters? Answer: Just another day dealing with bureaucrats. Blogger (and nurse) Sarah Drye visited one of those Healthcare Townhalls being run by the state government last week. Not surprisingly she knew more than Insurance Department head Jay Bradford and most of the other speakers about all this healthcare exchange rigamarole. Then again - she knows more about most of this government healthcare scheme than most government officials. Maybe they should invite her to fix the mess they're making. Here's her run-down of the event….
HBE Community Disaster/Meeting
The Arkansas Health Benefits Exchange Planning Division's website gives a list of community meetings taking place across the state throughout June to mid-July. The site states that the forums are being held by Partners for Inclusive Communities and UAMS College of Public Health to "share information and get your ideas to help in this planning for Arkansans." The meeting I attended Wednesday in Little Rock was less an exchange of ideas and more an exchange of unanswered questions.
The segment I attended was for "Healthcare Providers and Health Insurance Professionals." The majority of attendees were Health Insurance brokers, there were a few nurses, maybe a doctor or two, and a couple of nice ladies from the Arkansas Legislative Council. Arkansas Insurance Commissioner Jay Bradford, who has been appointed to head planning the state's Exchange system, was kind enough to grace the meeting with his presence. Bradford, along with the presidents of Delta Dental and QualChoice, and a couple of other insurance big wigs involved in the planning process, introduced themselves, though none seemed to want to share their ideas on the process or share any info with the room as to what has been planned and what they are planning to do in the Exchange.
The two gentlemen heading the meeting offered to answer any questions and encouraged us to give them our ideas. The crowd was inquisitive from the get-go; most questions dealt with the healthcare law's implications for the state-based exchange, as well as certain aspects of the Law that will affect the private market and healthcare providers. The presenters could not answer most questions, and even had to ask us a few. Before long it became those of us attending answering one another's questions.
When questions regarding Medicaid and the Exchange were brought up, the speakers admitted they had little or no knowledge of how it would work. They did say, however, that there is discussion to integrate Medicaid into the exchanges.
When asked if the insurance companies who choose to not participate in the exchange (noting that Arkansas already has only a few carriers) would be driven out of the state due to inability to compete and there being a reduced market, and what the private market will look like with the exchanges, the speaker admitted he did not know the answer to that question, but there would still be a private insurance market. We were informed that Blue Cross Blue Shield is currently the only carrier signed up to participate in the Exchange, and the State is hoping for more.
The State exchange will be able to add the minimal benefits found in the Law, and can add any extra benefits it wishes to these, but must cover the cost of the "extras" without federal assistance. It was brought to our attention that Gov. Beebe has already said Arkansas cannot afford to finance any extra benefits. The State must be able to solely fund the Exchange without assistance from the government by January '15. If the state finds by that time that it does not have the money to fund the system then either taxes will be increased or benefits would be decreased (in other words: rationed). The speakers admitted they have not read the law, and one even told us, "You all know more about the exchanges than I do." When asked where the money will come from, the answer was "That is above my pay grade; you'll have to ask your Legislators about that." The point some attendees were getting at is that the money is coming from tax-payer dollars, even those tax-payers who will not participate in the Exchange. One speaker argued that no, it would be "state money" (um, yeah - taxpayer dollars).
Some in the audience did try to offer ideas, some of which involved scope of practice for nurses and other healthcare professionals, and for a private sector market. After roughly two hours of not being able to answer our questions, the presenters acknowledged that they didn't know where this all was headed, and that it would have to be set up and implemented before any of us knew how it was really going to work.
The HBE website has links to meetings of a "steering committee" and plans for creation of an Independent Advisory Committee (based on the Law's model of an Independent Payment Advisory Board), which runs the exchange by regulating healthcare spending. No mention of either committee was made, and when I asked a speaker what their role, along with the Secretaries of the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services, would be in the exchanges, he could only tell me that he wasn't sure and it hadn't yet been decided who would be in charge of the exchange system. Whenever and however the decision is made of who will make up this committee will be based on the decision of who will be appointed to head the exchange system – it could be the Department of Health, the Department of Human Services, the state Insurance Department, or even the Department of Finance and Administration.
At the conclusion of the forum, the speakers asked Mr. Bradford to say a few words. Bradford thanked us all for being there and said that the opinions and ideas of Arkansans are very important in this planning process. He also made mention of people who were trying to "disrupt the process" of the meetings, some even filming them – "those tea partiers" he said (and then laughed….but he was the only one). Not a very gracious man at all, it seems. There were no disruptions in the meeting I attended, though there was plenty of disappointment in the way it was presented.
Myself and others walked away from the meeting uncomfortable with what we had just learned; which, essentially, was that those in charge of planning the exchange don't know any more than we do. The Law itself doesn't give any definite rules or parameters about what an exchange must look like. But it does make clear that if a state is unable to set up a working exchange and a plan to fund it by January '14, the federal government will step in and design one for us.
I would like to note that I asked one of the speakers why the public hasn't heard about these meetings until the last couple of weeks, and why so many meetings are being held in such a short time frame. I was told that they had only two weeks to plan the meetings and schedule them, and are currently contacting media sources across the state to spread the word. (They sure are in a rush, aren't they?)
I would love to know what others attending these meetings have learned. Please share!

So at least a strong majority of Americans now recognize that class war exists in this country (or at least think a low-intensity war between the classes exists).
The Occupy Wall Street movement no longer occupies Wall Street, but the issue of class conflict has captured a growing share of the national consciousness. A new Pew Research Center survey of 2,048 adults finds that about two-thirds of the public (66%) believes there are "very strong" or "strong" conflicts between the rich and the poor—an increase of 19 percentage points since 2009.

Legalized Warrantless Surveillance
Bruce Fein, American Freedom Agenda
August 15, 2007
Guest Speaker
Bruce Fein is a constitutional expert and a former Reagan administration official turned warrantless wiretapping critic. Fein has been relentless in his articles and testimony before Congress since we learned in December 2005 that the president had for years been illegally wiretapping without a warrant. Fein is founder of the American Freedom Agenda, an organization devoted to restoring checks and balances in government.
Download an audio recording of this conference call. (36 min 28 sec, 8.34MB)
Notes on Conference Call
We started the call with this 1786 quote from John Adams, to set the stage for Fein's presentation, and our strategy session that followed.
"'Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud' is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of the people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American Constitution is such as to grow every day more and more encroaching…. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, … until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."
Bruce Fein, Guest Speaker
We highlighted these key points from Fein's presentation:
1. The President's wiretapping program(s) is (are) so shrouded in secrecy that the fact we are even discussing it (them) is accidental.
Though there was nothing new about how terrorists communicated before as opposed to after 9-11, the president has claimed inherent power to secretly spy on Americans' communications without a warrant, and without oversight from any government branch.
2. Despite the White House insistence that Congress pass the "Protect America Act," the president claims he doesn't have to obey any law, and has inherent powers under the Constitution's Article II powers.
Behind all the legislative maneuvering, the fact remains that since the president claims that his inherent power goes beyond the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), or any other law, his negotiations to change the law can be considered disingenuous.
3. There was a very simple fix to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which was completely ignored in the passage of the "Protect America Act."
Because all international calls now transit a domestic cable in the U.S., the Bush Administration claimed a warrant was required irrespective of who is making and receiving the call. A simple fix was to amend FISA with these words – "No Warrant shall be required under FISA if the sole basis for issuing the warrant is that the communication would transit the US."
4. The "Protect America Act" obliterates the FISA Act in these three ways:
a. The Protect America Act did not confine itself to international terrorism investigation, but inserts itself into any international situation, potentially extending to AIDS in Uganda or pollution in Brazil.
b. No warrant is required if the Attorney General believes he's spying on someone abroad, and from the day he begins surveillance, it may continue for up to a year. So, if you take a one-day trip to Mexico, and the Attorney General begins surveillance on your phone calls, he could eavesdrop on your communications for the next year.
c. Intelligence Agencies may determine whether an individual is abroad or not, and only those procedures can be submitted to the FISA court. Unless they are "clearly erroneous," the Attorney General can order government surveillance based on the procedural likelihood that you are in a group of people who may be abroad. This is a novel and flagrantly unconstitutional interpretation of the Fourth Amendment.
5. Normal life involves risk and the government's policy of risk pre-emption threatens our freedom.
The administration's policy is based on the idea that: "We're doing everything conceivable to make you safer even if we have to violate the law." It's up to ordinary people to confront this false notion of safety by saying, "If our government does everything to avoid risk, we'll all be in jail or under police guard, and that's not the kind of America in which we want to live."
- BORDC Book of Resolutions
- Learn how your senators and representatives voted on the "Protect America Act," both the Democratic (S 2011, HR 3356) and Republican (S 1927, HR 1927) versions. To protect civil liberties, each senator and representative would have voted "No" on both bills.

Back in 2003, the remake of Freaky Friday made lots of money for Disney. So it only stands to reason that a sequel would be developed.
Yet now, six years later, the Mouse House is not behind a possible new film - nope, CBS Films is spurring the sequel project, albeit with the Lindsay Lohan movie's team attached to shepherd it along.
Director MArk Waters - who will apparently only produce this time and producer Andrew Gunn are overseeing work on adapting the novel Freaky Monday, written by Heather Hach and Mary Rodgers.
Hach was one of the writers on the 2003 film, which Rodgers also wrote the original Friday book.
The new plot will focus on a smart, yet nervy girl who switches places with her sympathetic English teacher for a day. And as of right now, Lindsay Lohan is not involved. Every body calm down…

You can't unring the bell. He was caught telling the truth. His comment must be obliterated and sent down the memory hole.
No, he had it right the first time. Many U.S. governments, federal especially, are behaving as Fascists in the Thirties did, trying to control personal behavior in elites' vision. Media supporting some utopian vision may not welcome the term, but they should understand its applicability.
Huey Long said it best – "When Fascism comes to America, it will be in the name of anti-Fascism!"
He definitely had it right the first time. It is fascism. The problem is that is not a politically correct thing to say. NPR ended the interview by saying "How big a role does a business leader's personal philosophy play in your decision to buy products from his or her company?" Clearly implying "people shouldn't buy from this guy who revealed the truth about bad legislation that we like."
Mr. Mackey is a practical man who runs a good business at which I occasionally shop. He cannot, however, afford to alienate 47% of his customers.
Those comments do not alienate 47% of his customers…..much less
Mr. Mackey has it right. It is Fascism.
LOL. the tea baggers are completely off the reservation. they have lost their grip on reality.
you have no idea what fascism means. tea baggers are clueless
Clearly, this guy has no clue who his customers are. A strong majority of his customers are of the opposite political persuasion of most WSJ posters.
i am 100% conservative and shop at whole foods for at least 40% of my groceries, and i own their stock. i plan to increase the amount of both in order to support a man who told the truth. i hope he will continue to do so and not back down to pseudo intellectuals who got their pseudo feelings hurt. i am headed there now to buy a copy of the book, and some of their delicious apple pie.
and by the way, i also cancelled my amazon prime membership.
According to most scholars of fascism, there are both left and right influences on fascism as a social movement, and fascism, especially once in power, has historically attacked communism, conservatism and parliamentary liberalism, attracting support primarily from the "far right" or "extreme right." wikipedia
My god what would happen if everyone spoke the truth?
The dude had brain fart! I never shopped there after his earlier brain fart!
Anyone in business who makes a gratuitous public statement of a political nature, particularly an extreme one, is a moron. That person immediately alienates half (more or less) of his or her customer base. Sure, some fellow fringers might be drawn to the business, but I am convinced that on balance there is a net loss. Business people should just keep your lunatic rantings to themselves.
These people who throw around this word when it clearly is not applicable should be embarrassed. They broadcast their ignorance to the world.
He was correct. Fascism had several economic models. One was corporatism (q.v.); and another was Zwangswirtschaft (or forced economy, where companies are nominally privately owned and run, but obey state or party guidelines, orders, and quotas — and employment policies).
So why should he be embarrassed to tell the truth? He is probably getting flak from leftists who are understandably uncomfortable when it becomes evident that many (or most) of their policies they share with movements who (they thought) were somehow opposite to their own inclinations.
So, a moment of enlightenment!
It is Fascism; however, nobody is allowed to call it Fascism when the Progressives do it.
OMG. the health care law is not fascism, you idiot
I think he know what the word means.
Fascism (pron.: /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism
Fascism advocates a state-controlled and regulated mixed economy; the principal economic goal of fascism is to achieve autarky to secure national self-sufficiency and independence, through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.[10] It promotes regulated private enterprise and private property contingent whenever beneficial to the nation and state enterprise and state property whenever necessary to protect its interests.[10]
1:27 wow, your post is a study in lunacy. first, how is the statement gratuitous when he clearly knew it was controversial, particularly among the ruling party? Second, there are those who simply speak the truth and stand on principle, regardless of the outcome – a little like the products that whole foods sells and in keeping with their corporate philosophy. How is that offensive? Second, the statements of successful business people are exactly those which ought to be contemplated. Perhaps you think a better choice are murmurings of david letterman or madonna? and lastly, the left was certainly ready to embrace business man extraordinaire warren buffet when he had hes end of life guilt moment and made the utterly false and misleading statement that his secy pays more taxes, since we all know the taxes they paid were based on different types of income. his secy, were she to have investment income, would pay the same rate and if the net net were less, so would her taxes be less. people do strange things at end of life, when they apparently feel they need to redeem themselves just in case there is a god. one has only to look at teddy kennedy's final months to get the ugly picture.
this CEO was DEAD-ON
This bozo just cost my business to WholeFoods for good. No second chancres. Hello trader Joes.
I agree wtih Mackey, the comparison fits. The path from socialism (where we already are), to facism is short, and Obama has us on it. One only has to look at the actions of the president this week. We do have a constitution, we do have personal rights, and our president is busy taking apart the very foundation of our nation. With individual rights headed out the door, our healthcare system controlled by our government, I don't see how you can claim Mackey is wrong.
BTW – I am going to do a lot more shopping at Whole Foods. Oh, and I also like Chick-fil-a. And no, I am not whatever you want to label me as. I am just a normal, tax paying middle class husband/father tired of seeing my taxes skyrocket, military spending cuts (so the world economy goes into the toilet because no one is holding anyone accountable), social entitlements out of control, and a president set on making sure the little amount of money I make, gets spent by him…..
business to WholeFoods for good you can send free sms world wide try us : utextme4free.com
I figure most NYC organic food, tree huggers are for Obamacare. Whole Foods was overpriced anyway. Bye, Whole Foods. Hello, Citarella. Hello, Eli's. Hello, Fairways. Hello, Zabars.
Mackey was right! It is NOT a "bad choice of words." Anyone who knows the history of fascism in both Italy and Germany knows the degree of control the government exercised in even the seemingly market sectors of both economies (e.g. Krupp, the Volkswagen, which was designed at the instigation and insistence of Hitler himself). People tend to associate fascism with the persecution of Jews alone, without addressing all of the other government activities of the fascist regimes (by the way, persecution of the Jews certainly existed in the former Soviet Union, and many Jews found their way into the Gulag). Mussolini's economic philosophy was definitely modeled along the lines of corporatism and syndicalism envisioned by European thinkers like Georges Sorel.
Whole Foods here I come. I'll support a CEO who speaks the truth. I thought Progressive idiots liked those who "speak truth to power." But that's only when the speakers are Progressives and the people in power disagree with them.
zmega is a total idiot.
zmega should just keep HIS mouth shut.
jokelley broadcasts his ignorance to the world.
confirming everyone's assumption that they are completely clueless.
"I got a parking ticket? OMG FASCISM"
"You mean I can't dump motor oil in my backyard! OMG FASCISM!"
"You're raising my taxes? OMG FASCIST HITLER FASCISM!"
Why isn't he going on about car insurance, which is also mandated by law? Why should taxpayers pay for ER visits for people without insurance? Why should people pay to fix their car when uninsured drivers crash into it?
He is entitled to his opinion and I am entitled to think he is a jerk and his store is a ripoff.
If Obamacare is fascism then the NRA are anarchists
@ Nutjob
Why isn't he going on about car insurance, which is also mandated by law? – This is a state law (not federal) that only applies to people driving on public (not private) roads to make sure that you can pay for damages you may do to someone else's property since causing damage to someone else's property while driving has a relatively high probability of occurring. If you can't distinguish between this and what the healthcare law demands, you need to go take a course on how to think critically.
Why should taxpayers pay for ER visits for people without insurance? – That's a good question. Why should I pay for that? How did it become my responsibility to pay for you being a deadbeat? There were charity hospitals that covered this type of thing back in the day. Now the government forces all hospitals to provide this resulting in 10 times the cost.
Why should people pay to fix their car when uninsured drivers crash into it? – Huh? Because they want their car fixed. It doesn't preclude them from trying to get the money from the person who caused the damage.
When you finally graduate from high school and go on to college (if you're test scores are even good enough for you to get in), please take classes that teach you logic and critical thinking skills. Otherwise I fear you will perpetually be collecting your welfare check, Obama phone, and food stamps at everyone else's expense.
So what is the politically appropriate 21st century term for fascism according the the left?
Actually, he is quite correct about his nomenclature, but because people have no understanding of economics, they bristle at the historic record of fascism for good reason. Because the government doesn't technically own it as in true socialism, it isn't quite socialism. Usually this kind of state controlled apparatus is referred to as the Nanny State, where choices are removed from the providers and consumers and are left with less freedom, more regulation, and ultimately a worse health care system.
i will tell the wife to find some other place to do her shopping. that's really outrageous and idiotic.
WSJ commenters are so stupid, it's funny. Thanks for making my day everyone.
4:11 did it occur to you that natural foods and health care go hand in glove? have you any intellectual means to connect the dots or do you just roam the earth drooling?
He needs some words to describe our healthcare system. How about some of these: ridiculously expensive and ineffective, We spend far more per capita than any other country in the world and yet we are in the middle of the pack when it comes to the health of our population. I realize there are other factors that account for this (for example, the crap that big agribusiness produces and calls "food") but the ineffective and expensive healthcare delivery system is partially at fault. It needs to be changed.
Fascism is exactly the correct word.
Communism is a system where there is no private property. Socialism allows you to have some nominally private property, but the government runs everything it deems "important" and makes a lot of rules for using "your" property. Fascism is a system where the government claims that everything is private, but the government makes so many rules for using "your" property that it might as well be Communism.
Fascism was originally recognized as a far-left idea, but the Nazis made it look so bad that the Left began working vigorously to convince the public that it was somehow far-right. This appears to have taken hold.
In the modern world, the most popular brand of Leftism by far is Fascism. It works because it is so deceptive. Government tells people that everything is private, and if there are any problems, the private sector is at fault. Meanwhile, government runs everything with just as much control as it would have if it were the official owner. This allows Left-wing economic interventions without any responsibility for consequences.
The Right frequently errs in accusing the Left of practicing Socialism when it is actually practicing Fascism. ObamaCare is an excellent example. Government will micromanage the administration of health care just as completely as it would if health care were nationalized, but it will leave private "ownership" in place to absorb all the criticisms. It's textbook Fascism.
4:46 oh by ALL means, tell the wife to shop somewhere else. go to trader joes, that bastion of commie crap, so full of clueless whackjobs that you can't navigate through the store without isle after obstructed isle of nitwits who have no sense of their own space or any ability to move economically and efficiently. if you want the most frustrating grocery experience on earth, it's traders, by a long shot. plus, their proprietary brands $uck.
Actually, every study that compares apples to apples makes our system look pretty good (which is scary). Take any specific condition and analyze people who have it here vs there and the better outcomes are here.
Only with cherry-picked apples-to-oranges comparisons does Europe look better. They exclude non-citizens (we include them). They exclude groups from the mortality rate. They count outcomes differently. And most of all, they ignore the huge deficits their government programs run when accounting for the costs!
Hey 5:01 PM, tell us how you REALLY feel about Trader Joes?
Mackey is a fool. I'm sure if he couldn't afford insurance or couldn't get it due to a pre-existing condition that he would change his opinion about our fascist President. The reality is that health care will never be an issue for him so why would he care what happens to others?
He also said the increased cost of Obamacare would have to come out of the pockets of his (minimum wage) workers because, you know, " there is no well of profits to draw from". Whole Foods profits increased 31% last year and 68% the year before. Yea, sounds like you have to cut wages. Just another CEO who doesn't know who his customers are.
FACISM is the correct word, albeit "Politically Incorrect". No need to apologize. Americans are overrated, as is their public school system, which the communists fully infiltrated beginning in 1938. We have had "socialism" in the educational sector for along time, since back when my grandmother was teaching. That's when we started becoming a Democracy and not a Republic. Facism fits right in their.
The Germans never considered Hitler to be a Facist or a dictator and fully supported him until Germany lost the war on the Eastern (Russian) front. After that, the Germans lost the offense. We have a long way to go before our D-day. Today, we are either becoming an Oligarchy or headed towards a kind of dictatorship ( government by one party). A number of states already have so-called "super-majorities" in the state legislature. The average voter is too stupid to know or even care. Lazy-headed Americans.
If the health care bill was about adding people on and no denial for pre-existings…it would have been about 10 pages.
Instead, what is coming your way America…is the takeover of the health care industry by the government…2,700 pages worth to wrap it up.
Fascism….good word. Control is what it is all about.
about how many were uninsured and couldn't afford it to get some traction, didnt' he?
He lied to us, telling us we could keep our plans.
He taxed the middle class heavily…and many of us are about to lose our employee sponsored insurance, as it will be cheaper for them to pay a 2K a year fine, than insure us.
Then, in the land of freedom and opportunity…the middle class working people's choices will be taken away…we will be forced into the government pool. Sorry, but they have mishandled Medicare and Medicaid…and our Social Security. How can they responsibly and sensibly manage all of the health care in America ????? They can't even stop spending.
You can keep your plan, yeah right.
Obama lied.
It's incredible how much and how blatantly Leftists are willing to lie for their agenda. Just in the last hour we have posters repeating the usual "people who disagree with us don't care about poor people" lie, even though the entire point of ObamaCare opponents has been that it hurts the poor, the rich, and everyone in between. Leftists simply choose not to believe their opponents' own words about themselves, choosing instead to believe gross lies that they fabricate. It makes hating their enemies easier!
And don't get me started on how much more expensive private insurance is BECAUSE of existing government interventions.
Then there's Mr. "Whole Foods' profit is up 31% in the last year!" He thinks he's so smart, doesn't he? But of course, he omitted context that obliterates his point. Their profit is now all the way up to $117 million/year. On $2.64 billion in sales per year, this is a low profit margin. Also, the most recent number of employees I can find for Whole Foods is 58,300 – this is from 2010. Dividing that out, that's $2,000 in profit per employee per year.
Suppose we live in a fantasy world where a zero-profit company could work – where "profit" wasn't someone's livelihood and a business could actually continue to exist without making a profit (because Leftists frequently speak as though that's possible). Even in such a fantasy world, Whole Foods can only afford to spend $2,000 more per employee per year before it's out of cash. Guess what that's not enough to do? Buy health insurance!
Granted, it's not true that all 58,300 employees currently aren't getting health insurance (I bet the employee count's up from 58,300 today). Still, we don't live in the aforementioned fantasy world either. I trust the owner of the business when he says the money's not there, a lot more than I trust an idiotic blowhard who's clearly willing to lie to advance his agenda.
5:19 i think grocery clerks are well paid at minimum wage. what would you suggest the pay should be for a job that a guide animal can perform?
No wonder the comments before me are conservative; this IS the Wall Street Journal, after all! I doubt Mackey's and other CEO's lifestyles will change at all if they embraced the Affordable Care Act and paid a livable wage to their employees! Using the words fascism AND fascism to express His high regard for Capitalism shows that he doesn't even understand the differences of ideology between the.two! The comments putting down people who have less by people who have more is so distasteful!
According to you people, anyone who is more successful cannot criticize anyone at all for any reason. YOU are beyond distasteful, and have no idea what any of the economic terms you used mean.
You blindly insist that people make things that are mathematically impossible "just work" because your ideology requires them to, and blame anyone but yourselves for the consequences!
6:22 no, u don't get it. the impact isn't exclusively to affordability, it is the degradation of healthcare, the dearth of a brilliant physician base (who,absent pay that is commensurate with their abilities, will take a pass on med school – not to mention the small fortune required to become educated), the proliferation of clinics manned by physician assistants, and the eradication of meaningful research and innovation. congratulations to the libtards in destroying the premier healthcare system in the world.
I suddenly realized Obamacare is an effort, in a mess of all Mother Messes, in our Health Care.
It seems like vultures are coming out of the woodwork! I recently decided to support Pres. Obama,
after observing the Far Right's pure hate virus having grave effects. Being an Independent has
no means, we need a strong Second Party..Period.
Debt? Oh please, "Desert Storm" pulled US down in this dark hole, remember or does one not read?
I support Pres. Obama's gun control, for he has no choice but I know that the Pentagon sells more
weapons than anyone else, in THE WORLD…so you figure. Also our school children's plight is frustration for
many cannot be a same cut log from the saw mill. This is a grave societal problem not Guns.
But someone in Government should study what John Mackey has done for our Nation, for promoting
Preventative Medicine and good food, as has never been done before. He is one cool cat, and
Pres. Obama would do good to have this creative man helping him. Think about that Pres.
atie medicine
6:44 your post is incoherent nonsense. get some mental help, some education, or preferably, both.
I will shop as always at Whole Foods. From now on, I will be sure to put the frozen food on the bottom, wander the store and pile the basket high to overflowing. I might need several baskets. Then I will leave my letter to Mr. Mackey on top, park the shopping cart in the aisle, and walk out.
Replacing all the food will create lots of work for Whole Foods workers who are innocent bystanders. It will hit Mr. Clueless Mackey in the Bottom Line (where perhaps he has feeling, since he has no conscience nor moral rudder).
Be a SECRET SHOPPER: Shop And Walk. (Don't Forget Your Letter!) Shop Often. It's Fun and Unprofitable for Whole Foods.
Fascism in the good ole USA sense is now called Crony Capitalism. PelosiCare was just a sellout to the insurance companies.

I use the "days of the week over the door clothes organizer" for my kids. At the beginning of the week, I put their school clothes in it and they know what they are supposed to wear that week. It has helped my mornings tremendously! No arguing or fussing about what to wear. Here it is... http://www.lillianvernon.com/Product/Daysoftheweekhangingorganizer.
I organize my grocery list according to where thing are in the store and my route around the store. For example, all produce items are first on my list, then meats, then dairy, etc. This way I am much less likely to forget things and have to take multiple trips down each aisle backtracking to get things I forgot. It also make my list husband-friendly in case I need him to go to the store for me. :)
Instead of having all the kids' toys out for them to play with all the time, I put two-thirds of them away in a tub in their closet. Every few months I rotate out the toys. Not only does this simplify cleaning up the mess the toys make, it gives the kids "new toys" to play with every so often. When you have 3 kids 3 and under like I do, anything that can be done to make clean up faster and easier is a must!
I go through the garage after getting my mail. My recycle bin and garbage can are right next to the door. I sort through junk mail and pitch it before it even enters the house. Clutter=stress. No clutter, no (ok less) stress.
With three kids, there is a constant struggle to keep up with laundry and dirty dishes. The dishes can just get ridiculously piled up at times! So, a couple of years ago, I went out and bought each of our 5 family members a dinner plate, salad plate, a bowl, and a cup. Each set is color-coordinated. Everyone is responsible for their own dishes. We have one of those dish-washer thingamabobs with the soap in the handle and a sponge on the end. Of course, we have other dishes for when company comes, but they are up high on the top shelf. It has made a HUGE difference with keeping up with the dishes.
I am a big fan of a notebook/notepad. I have one from Thirty-one called a fold-n-go. It has a zipper pouch to keep receipts, a notepad, and a multipurpose pocket. I love being able to keep my grocery list and coupons, to-do list, and receipts all in one place. Plus, if I have an idea or thought I need to jot down (because I know I will forget later), I've got it with me. It's also a great place to keep track of my prayer list. If I read/hear someone or something I need to pray for, I jot it down so that I always have the list with me. If I'm waiting for the doctor, waiting for my kiddo to get out of school, or just have a few minutes on my lunch break, I can whip out the list and pray then and there!
I have a hard time keeping my pierced earrings (hooks and posts) together so I bought two inexpensive 3 section mail holders. They are three different heights so I can hang the longest earrings on the back section and the shortest ones in front. Each section has a mesh-like backing so I can even put post earrings thru the mesh to keep them together. It makes it so much easier to pick out my earrings each day without my bi-focals!
I keep track of what we run out of and what we need from the store by putting a blank dry erase board (about 8X11) on the fridge. When someone in the house uses the last of something, they write it on the board. I add things to it as well, such as paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Then, when I go to the store, I take the board with me, place it in the basket of the cart and as I find items on the list, I wipe it off. When the board is cleared, I'm done shopping! In addition to getting the entire family involved in the household management, I no longer have to empty my purse of all the little hand-written, paper/pen lists that used to pile up in there. When I get home, the board goes back on the fridge and the process starts over again. It's great!
I discovered that storing kitchen tongs (the spring type) in an empty paper towel roll does a great job of keeping the utensil drawer more tidy. No longer do the tongs get stuck opening and closing the drawer, and they take up less space that way!

At the center of the April gathering was a discussion of stories on human rights and organized crime gangs. We began with a brain-storming session that, for us, confirmed our decision to work with these partners because none of them brought up drug trafficking. Instead, they discussed the military's involvement in the fight against organized crime, the displacement of civilian populations, the trafficking of women, and the use of child soldiers, among other subjects.
It's not that drug trafficking is not important. We all cover it regularly. And of course, we understand that it is the motor that many of these groups use to undermine governments, destroy social networks, and corrupt security forces. But when we talk about human rights, we are talking about impact of a different type.
Human rights violations are normally associated with repressive governments. And, legally speaking, that emphasis is correct. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights emphasizes state responsibility.
But the world is changing as are its conflicts. There are few civil wars and those left are largely asymmetrical. Still, the Americas, as a whole, has never been more violent. At the heart of this violence are an increasingly large number of criminal operations. They have varying degrees of ideologies. Some want to replace the state, but most just want to see the state remain weak and do their bidding.
However, if there is one constant, it's that the the civilian populations are trapped in the warped logic of outside forces, and the governments are failing, either wittingly or unwittingly, to protect them from these forces.
Thus surged the need to recount these stories, and refocus our efforts at understanding at how non-state actors can violate human rights and how the governments are failing in their most basic mission: protecting their citizens.
The human drama the partners uncovered in the months that followed are detailed in this special. They are the result of field research in some of the most dangerous places in the hemisphere in an effort to get an up close and personal look at what this phenomenon looks like and better understand how it is destroying these communities.
