|Jeffrey Long, Richard C. Hoagland
Founder of the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, Dr. Jeffrey Long shared the most compelling evidence to date for the reality of near-death experiences (NDEs), and their consistent message that there is an afterlife. Having studied over 1300 NDE cases, he noted that the reports are remarkably consistent worldwide, even those from non-Western countries. NDEs typically may include out-of-body travel, seeing a tunnel and mystical light, encounters with deceased relatives, and a life review.
Here are some of the highlights of the consistent patterns/evidence he's found:
- The level of consciousness and alertness during NDEs is usually even greater than that experienced in everyday life even though NDEs generally occur when a person is unconscious or clinically dead.
- What NDErs see and hear of earthly events in the out-of-body state is almost always realistic, such as what is going on around them at the hospital.
- Heightened senses are often reported, such as seeing with 360 degree vision. Several people who have been totally blind since birth have reported highly visual near-death experiences.
- Life reviews in NDEs include real events that previously took place in the lives of those having the experience, even if the events were forgotten, in a kind of "perfect playback."
- During a NDE, the people encountered are virtually always deceased. Were the NDE only a product of memory fragments, they would almost certainly include far more living people, including those with whom they had more recently interacted.
- The near-death experiences of children, including very young children are essentially identical to those of older children and adults, arguing against the idea of cultural pre-conditioning.
- NDErs often report seeing heavenly or unearthly realms, with colors and sights that defy description.
- It is common for people to experience major life changes after having near-death experiences. Typically, the changes are powerful, lasting, and life-enhancing.
Hoagland Analysis
Last hour guest, Richard C. Hoagland offered commentary on a meeting in the UK about the search for ET life, suggesting it's part of a disclosure process that we're now seeing unfold. He also drew connections between the Norway Spiral and the earthquake in Haiti.

My normal reactions to moving here from the States took a hiatus as I watched in horror.
By Gary Hetzler
My normal reactions to moving here from the States took a hiatus as I watched in horror, along with the rest of the civilized world, at the repeated replay of the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Pennsylvania tragedies. Janis and I were traveling around County Limerick at the time, and had just visited a small goat farm near the town of Hospital before heading in to the town of Kilfinnane for a very late lunch.
We first stopped at a hardware store, intending to get a few things, when the shopkeeper told us something about an airplane crash in New York. She'd just caught part of the story on the radio and wasn't too clear on the details. She thought two planes had crashed midair above the city or had accidentally hit a skyscraper. She may have mentioned something about a hijacking, but none of the story made any sense. Soon we were to learn the grim details, but even then it did not make sense.
We headed across the street to a pub. There we saw the pub owner and one lone patron staring in disbelief at the television, which was tuned to Sky News. They had seen the second plane hit the World Trade Center, and were simply stunned. Now we stood transfixed, also staring at the television and could not take in what was being fed to us by the live reports. We saw the flames from the Pentagon too, and reports of the fourth plan downed in Pennsylvania. Gradually, the inconceivable horror and enormity of the situation came over us. We were literally speechless.
Here we were, on an island so far away and yet astonishingly near in this global village. The Irish connection to America, New York City and Boston in particular, has always been close. But this tragedy brought that connection into tight focus. The litany of Irish surnames in the roster of firefighters and policemen lost was unfortunately a comprehensive one. And in a cruel twist of fate, Irish nationals themselves were victims, both on the planes as well as in the Towers.
How would the Irish react? Before long, we knew and were deeply touched as we saw the reactions during our travels that week. A National Day of Mourning, Ireland's first, was declared for Friday the 14th. We were in County Kilkenny on that Thursday prior and saw the flags at Kilkenny Castle at half mast, citizens lining up to sign a Book of Condolences, and business owners taping handwritten signs to their shop windows announcing that they would be closed that Friday, out of respect. All towns and cities throughout Ireland were replicating those scenes. Families near Shannon Airport also opened their homes to stranded Americans, so that they would have a bed to sleep on, instead of the airport floor.
On the Day of Mourning, virtually every business was closed. Shops, pubs, offices, petrol stations, all were closed. Or if they were open, like the Post Office, it was with reduced hours. There were very few cars on the roads in the rural Ireland that we saw that day in County Clare. And we watched on television and listened to the special service held at the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin. The Irish President's (Mary McAleese) genuine expressions of deeply felt sympathy were very touching in particular. During the telecast she said, "We are only beginning to hear the human stories, the unbearable reports of the final phone calls of love, the heroism of so many, the loss of so many." Throughout this whole ordeal, on the news or other programs as well, she has been consistent in her message of empathy and plea for restraint.
And to hear Mark and John Clifford from Cork on RTE's Late Late Show television program later that evening also call for restraint in the response of President Bush was especially moving. They lost their sister, Ruth Clifford McCourt and her daughter Juliana, who were passengers on one of the planes flown into the World Trade Center. The brothers' plea was for justice, not revenge. They wanted no other innocent life taken in behalf of their loss.
Such compassion in the midst of unbearable pain is a testament to the human spirit. Perhaps that is the message from a land so often torn by terrorist, often sectarian, violence and a lesson to be heeded by a land with so much greater military might. Let us seek justice, not retribution. Let us unite in our laws and vision of a civilized world where that law does rule.

Sheriff deputies to cover Silver Creek Police shifts

Captain..I so agree on the alternative parking.
I got a ticket..while at a meeting for a group that I volunteer with. As we saw them writing the tickets (several on the board)..we ran out. He said 'too late" and wrote them. We then all went to the police station where the person behind the counter was unable to explain the parking regs to us in terms that made any sense. We did fill out complaint..and all the tickets were dropped.
What a waste of resources..and for what?

On one occasion I attended an estate sale on a street where at the time there were no alternate parking signs. There had to be 50-100 people at the sale and all those who parked in the street got a ticket. One fellow, from Ohio, approached me and asked "are you involved in city government". I replied "only from a distance, why do you ask?" He said I drove many miles to come to this sale and I got a parking ticket. He said "I will never again even consider coming to this f------- city". We can go to Wal Mart or the plaza and not have to worry about tickets. Maybe that's the best answer until our money hungry government wakes up.

Its a little hard to believe Major Piccolo when as early as Friday I have seen letters sent to full and part time members of the police department notifying them that they are being let go. I feel bad for the Village Residents that have Trustees and a Major who willingly hiding behind closed doors and make big decisions and then lie to the public about what they have decided to do.

I am confident the Board will address all the major issues that the community is getting overly anxious about. The Mayor has expressed several times that a contract has not been signed and a firm deal has not been made. Monday night's forum should help clear the air a little bit on SC's police protection plan.

you're right, baseball, I stand corrected. Maybe it's just me, but when I hear that parking tkts or speed traps are cash cows for local PDs, it drives me crazy b/c it's all about generating cash and penalizing otherwise law-abiding citizens, even though there is plenty of serious crime out there to keep the boys in blue busy.

Captain, bigger Cities have parking enforcement officers that are more brutal on parking than regular police officers ever could be! Bigger Cities sure do go after parking BIG time! Big cash cow for them!

S&W: I was referring to DK's alternate parking law, but I trust you got the point, which is unnecessary fines for minor offenses. And God forbid you get caught driving w/o a seat belt. Between the fine and the additional court cost charges, it'll cost you $150! (FYI; "court costs" coincidently stay local and are NOT shared with ALbany...imagine that).
Local PDs make lots of money by fining residents sizable amts for minor offenses. And to top it all off, just before they retire, most participate in unethical OT scams for the sole purpose of intentionally inflating retirement benefits, which in many cases, earn them near, equal or ABOVE what they earned while employed.
Do we need law enforcement? Of course we do, but they've become way too big a drain on taxpayers, especially in Mayberry towns like ours.

Silver Creek does not have an alternate parking rule. There is strictly no parking on streets after 2am starting sometime in November. The SCPD always gave out warning tags to everyone reminding them 2 weeks in advance no to park in the street. If anyone still does when the law is in effect, shame on them.

As Phil noted, minor infractions should NOT be a local PD's main focus, however, to help fund their own existence, this has become a common practice in just about every small community like SC. Advising people to "...simply obey the speed limit and then you have no worries..." completely misses the point.
Take alternate parking laws: Do you have any idea how much cash is raised in any given Oct, or any other month when there's absolutely no snow on the ground? Would those who vow to "Serve & Protect" ever consider knocking on an owner's front door to remind him/her to switch their car over? Of course not, it's that "gotcha" attitude that ALL local PDs have. In fact, most officers are strongly urged by their superiors to meet their monthly quota of arrests/citations. They rely on this to help fund their own salaries and/or any future pay raises. Bigger cities don't waste their time on such minor infractions, but as we all know, small villages like S

Mr.Jynx I agree with baseball, if your not speeding you have nothing to worry about. May I suggest stopping and letting them know they can sit in front of your house. Oh sorry, I forgot you don't live in the Village. All they are is being pro-active. One thing I have to say, at least they are sitting at Damon's and not parked in Anna's driveway, like Roach was all the time.

It's not only Silver Creek that should be protected by the Sheriff's Department- the whole county should be under the umbrella of the Sheriff. Why do we need eight full time law enforcement agencies in a rural county of only 133,000 residents? We do not have big cities in the county and we do not have big crime. The time has come to merge all law enforcement activity into one centralized Sheriff's department with satellite stations located as needed. We spend far too much on law enforcement and the current structure is no longer affordable. It appears the focus has changed from public safety to raising funds through relatively minor infractions.

Well it didn't take the CCS long to fall into the SCPD old ways. While traveling thru "the armpit of America" yesterday, My wife and I seen not 1 but 2 CCS cars taking radar. One on RT 20 by Ehmke Well Drilling Comp when entering and 1 at the old Damon Motors on Rt. 5 when leaving the Village. Glad to see the old standards are still being kept in place.

SC has approx 2700 people living in it. For such a tiny village, does SC really need a full-time PD? Law enforcement needs/costs for ANY community should be based on actual crime (and I don't mean calls for things like a cat in a tree), NOT on "seasonal increases in traffic" (ie: a higher # of people driving thru SC during the summer mos).
SC is located within Chat Co, therefore, it's the CCSD duty to respond to calls when needed, and NOT be paid extra to do so. The problem is SC doesn't want to lose the large amt of revenue generated by "criminal motorists."

"Here's your sign". As comfortable as many in the village are with having the police department it is no longer feasible. Time to move on.

Thousands of Trucks Enter Gaza Weekly From Israel – No Excuse for Turkish FreezeMonday, December 28th, 2015
The Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories reported last week 3,750 trucks with 127,623 tons of goods entered Gaza through Israel via the Kerem Shalom crossing.
"There were 35 crossings of ambulances between Gaza and Israel last week," according to a tweet by the COGAT.
Last Thursday alone, 24,629 tons of goods in 744 trucks were delivered to Gaza through Israel via the overland crossings. In addition, 2.2 million liters of fuel were delivered as well.
Can Turkey Justify Its Continued Diplomatic Freeze?
Turkey has used the so-called Israeli "blockade" of Gaza as its excuse for refusing to normalize its diplomatic ties with Israel. But the truth is, the crossings between Israel and Gaza are open every day and for a long time now, active commerce has been taking place.
What is not being allowed to enter the region are materials that can be used to manufacture weapons with which to attack the Jewish State – and which have been used for that purpose in the past.
In this regard Turkey is no different in its own methods of self-defense and controlling terror within its borders. In fact the Ankara government is more aggressive: Turkey has no problem attacking PKK terrorists when it perceives a threat.
For Ankara to suggest it has a right to dictate a domestic security policy to another sovereign nation is pretentious, if not outright chutzpah.
Since Israel has already opened the crossings on a daily basis – which by the way, even Egypt does not do with the lone Rafah crossing on its border – Turkey has no reason to complain. But Israel does: Hamas still operates its terrorist organization freely and maintains an active international office within Turkey's borders, despite a request from Israel to close its doors.
Perhaps Turkey is simply searching for excuses not to formally renew its ties with the Jewish State? There would certainly be many reasons it might be reluctant to do so, beginning and ending with its oily handshake in Tehran. At least the Arab nations in the region are far more honest in their anti-Semitism…Hana Levi Julian

Last Saturday I had to make an emergency 4-hour round trip to pick up Sarah's college books. Although she had ordered them on time, there had been a snafu somewhere along the College Book Pipeline and instead of them being happily en route to us (as we had thought), they were instead lolling and languishing in a languid fashion on a college bookstore shelf two hours from Manteo.
Which meant they were not going to arrive in time for her first class.
Which meant that our new college student was a wee bit distressed.
So. Mom to the rescue!
I got up extra early Saturday morning so that I could get everything crossed off my lengthy Saturday List. I made up a large pan of baked beans for a Fish Fry Fundraiser we were doing that day for a teen in our church. I put some chicken-y type ingredients together in the crock pot for our dinner, sent the beans out the door with Steve who was headed out to the fundraiser to volunteer all day. (After having already spent 2 hours at the church working on his sermon.) I then headed out to the church myself to wrestle a computer issue to the ground that needed to be fixed before the Sunday service.
I knew I had a limited amount of time to spend on the computer since the college bookstore closed early so I was feeling just a wee bit frantic right off the bat. Things didn't get much better when I got on the phone with the Computer Guy. He told me to look at the back of the computer and then he let loose with a barrage of mysterious instructional verbiage which included non-comprehensible terms like HDMI, VGA, splitters, media cards, CPU's, peripheral devices, internal drives, and external devices.
But you would have been so proud of me.
I listened carefully to everything he had to say. I gazed intently at the back of the computer and nodded thoughtfully as he talked. I then marshalled my massive intellectual abilities into the following cogent, intelligent, and impressive response.
Yep. That's all I managed to come up with.
Fortunately, he was a Computer Guy of the patient variety and he spent the next hour exhibiting said qualities of patience while he talked me through the various steps that finally yielded a solution.
By that point I was almost running late to get to the bookstore so I had a semi-frantic journey, maneuvering my mini van through all the tourists who were leaving and who were vying for road space with all the tourists who were coming. (Saturday is turn around day on the Outer Banks.)
I managed to make it to the bookstore with a few minutes to spare and nabbed Sarah's (lolling and languid) books just before closing time. Here's her first semester stash.
I got home in time to ingest the chicken-y, crock potted ingredients and then headed back to the church to finish the bulletin, the music and . . . wait for it . . . make my way through yet another hour of computer work with yet another Computer Guy.
Fortunately this guy did not require me to look at that scary mass of cables on the back of the computer; he kept everything out front and spoke in a language that I was a little more fluent in.
In other traveling news, I had my Orencia infusion on Tuesday. At the end of the day, as I got near Manteo, I pulled into a gas station and saw . . . wait for it (again) . . . a goat.
Yes. A goat.
Sir Goat was strolling sedately around the gas station parking lot and no one was paying him a whole lot of attention.
I got the feeling that The Strolling Goat was not such an unusual sight in these here parts.
I do have to say though, that the whole time I was pumping my gas, I was keeping out a wary eye for Mr. Goat. I wasn't at all confident that my Goat Interaction Skills were up to par since I have not interacted personally with any goats in over fifty-two years.
And also?
I saw this sign. Loved it. Had to share it.
And finally, today is Sarah's second day of college. (She had yesterday off.)
Today she is back to studying Ancient Civilizations before heading off to work.
On Friday, she will have a four-hour class in . . . wait for it (yet again) . . . . kayaking.
Goats and kayaking.
Fun times!

Woodinville Fire & Life Safety District recently awarded Certificates of Completion to 19 community members for their participation in a class designed to prepare them for meeting emergency and disaster situations. A final test and practical exam was given by Deputy Chief Dominic Marzano, who gave high marks to everyone for both ability and enthusiasm.
The class met for 3 hours once a week for 7 weeks. Highlights of the course were: Disaster Preparation, Planning and Organization, Light Search and Rescue, Disaster Medical Aid, Fire Suppression, and other topics.
Sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Management Institute, the class is designed to prepare community members to be able to quickly respond to both large and small scale emergencies safely, efficiently and confidently. Several class members shared experiences in which they had already used their new knowledge to help at accidents and in other situations.
Graduating participants were: Debbie Moore, Rebecca Harrigan, Michael Peck, Kurt Schoenbacher, Chris Dietsche, Suzie Spencer, Linda Carruthers, Matthew Carruthers, Norma Calvert, Linda Calvert, George Muchin, Jeff Jensen, Marsha Robin, Ramona Dorian, Theresa Rash, Amanda Richmond, Steve Brown, Dale Holm, and Erika Valberg.
Theresa Rash, an office manager at the Woodinville Medical Center, said in a telephone interview that she took the class because she became aware of the need for disaster preparation while talking with Marzano earlier in the year. Rash said that she wanted to learn more and signed up for the class.
Rash said she was grateful for the opportunity to become involved with other members of the community. "I learned to be prepared both physically and mentally, and gained some confidence, too," she said. When asked if her expectations had been fulfilled, she said "I'm definitely a believer. I'm telling everybody I know to take the class the next time it's offered!"
During the final exam, the ability of team members to assess the injuries sustained by school-age victims of an earthquake was tested. Victims, some of them members of Explorer Post #2144, were portrayed by: Jennifer Ellis, Michelle Flotron, future singer/songwriter/actress Kerry Flotron, Ryan Englund, Jeremy Burrow, Amanda Reilley-Olson, Jillian Petrin, and Becca "the Terminator" Petrin.
During the fire suppression portion of the exam, an automobile donated by Fitz Auto Parts was used to simulate a one-car accident resulting in an under-hood fire.
Marzano was assisted in presenting the class and in the final exam by fire fighter Pete Briner, public educator Dave Leggett, Lt. Kerry Langan, Lt. Drago Nevistic, Bellevue Fire Department's Brian Kendall, and King County District 10's Ellen Jo Schaff.

Met police chief urges gays and lesbians to report homophobic crime
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I have been reporting homophobic crimes, but because they are committed by police officers…nobody gives a toss!
EastEnders portrayed a hate attack on Christian at the end of last nights edition
This is just a PR stunt. The only way we'll get this sorted is if WE take to the streets.
This is just another PR exercise from the Police! When we report a hate crime "we want" to communicate with an officer who has had proper diversity training and not the next untrained homophobic officer waiting in the queue for the next incident to investigate!
Unfortunately by the time we report the hate crime there's nothing that can be done. However, I am of the firm belief that we need to report each and every case of hate crime so that there are proper figures on what's going on!
quotes form police to me ,
"play down the gay thing"
Phoning 999 as house was under seige, well attack from youngsters, quote "What makes you think your are so special" Becuase we asked for a car to be sent out.
DONT REPORT CRIME TO THE POLICE it is a waste of time. tHEY ARE THE MOST HOMOPHOBIC BUNCH OF ALL
7.Dave.I think alot of people would be interested to know which police force gave you such comments? Please Name and shame the force in question.
Dear John , I would gladly name and shame , but as I have just moved from years of homophobic abuse, I am trying to make a fresh start. So far so good, only two neighbours have been anti, one verbalished, but we can live with this. Would I call the police again , no. Because even the gay officers are homophobic as they have more to prove then the straight ones. I have dealt with a gay officer, and he told me into the third year of items being thrown at our house, graffitti, and being threatened, that we , my partner and I conceive that it was homophobia behind the abuse. As a result of the incident with the 999 call. I will no longer phone this service, as it has left me feeling whats the point. I have phoned the local police numbers, but never never 999. It is a waste of time. I spoke to not only the person on the end of the line , but also the supervisior, as I asked to speak to them to complain. He came to the phone and said, quote, "whats make you so special, MR….". Just repeating what the operator said. I wrote to the chief constable and did get a letter of apology, but my partner and I should not have had to go through this is this day and age.
Yesterday Devon & Cornwall Constabulary finally ADMITTED in writing that a serious arrestable offence allegation made against a gay man in Cornwall
…was a FALSE ALLEGATION!
DC 5882 Parker of Camborne CID also confirmed in a telephone conversation today 30th July 2009, that police still wished to question further the person who made the serious false allegation against a gay man in Cornwall.
However, the false accuser has subsequently failed to attend a police station on a number of occasions. (The false accuser formerly of Cornwall & now thought may be living in Leeds).
The IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) are now examining complaint regarding this & other prior police incidents towards the gay male victim going back to 2004. Elizabeth Pollard Case Officer IPCC
The gay man who police now acknowledged was 'falsely accused' has been subjected to violent assault, attacks upon his home & has even been targeted & victimised by some elements of the Cornwall gay population, not least LGBT-PACT, Healthy Gay Cornwall, Cornwall Pride & CIOS Diversity of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary.
(Not to mention the vile back stabbing Intercom Trust in Devon)
Most noteably & not least, refusal of Healthy Gay Cornwall to assist him as a gay suicide attempt victim, refusal by LGBT-PACT to assist him as a victim of a crime and exclusion as a gay person from last years Cornwall PRIDE due to his complaints regarding continuing homophobic police conduct!
Despite the gay victim of the false allegation having provided information to Devon & Cornwall Constabulary.
(1) regarding the presence of three eyewitnesses & other related witness statements
(2) that there was DNA physical evidence to the false nature of the allegation &
(3) there were recorded & documented text messages from the false accuser ADMITTING it was a false allegation.
However according to the senior investigating officer DC Parker, this information was never passed onto him from Devon & Cornwall Constabulary HQ. Although the information was widely posted on the internet, & provided to various police officers & members of the gay community organisations, however Cornwall police claim ignorance that they did not know about it.
The arrested falsely accused victim, an 'out' gay man was the only male arrested amongst five male persons all equally taking part in lawful & legal homosexual activity in a private home. However police ONLY arrested one person, the 'out' gay person whom they have previously & relentlessly targeted since 2004!
The arrest which took place just days prior to the 2007 LGBT Cornwall Beach day of which the arrested gay male was Chair. The gay community event put in serious risk of cancelation, contary to the misleading & inaccurate information put out by a Devon & Cornwall diversity officer to the gay media.
THe successful 2007 Cornwall Pride Beach day steering group, made up of lesbians, gay men & gay youth, disbanded out of genuine concerns & fears of further Cornwall police reprisals.
The gay male victim of this false allegation attempted suicide as a direct result of the false allegation made & subsequent police abuse & gay community abuse. This abuse compounded by the total lack of support by Cornwall's LGBT organisations & CIOS Diversity who repeatedly completely refused assistance to the gay victim of false allegations since 2004.
However, the gay victim of the false allegation despite having been informed the case is now recorded as a 'no crime', urges gay people to treat ALL the police in Cornwall with the utmost suspicion & caution due to continuing prejudicial attitudes & practise operative & protected within the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, including within the so-called diversity unit.
The gay victim of the deeply traumatic false allegation would like to publicly thank those lesbians, gay men & bisexual persons, neighbours & family who have continued to support him throughout this ordeal which started with homophobic police motivated abuse by DC Woods & DC Scott in 2004 and has been continued relentlessly by police ever since.
Now perhaps police may re-examine previous false & malicious allegation made against gay persons in Cornwall along with the misconduct of Cornwall police officers.
UK Police have a L-O-N-G way to go before they deserve the trust of LGBT persons.

The 43rd annual Pioneer Days celebration is upon us, and the city is gearing up for a week full of old-fashioned fun.
Events kicked off Saturday with the Pioneer Days Rodeo Queen Pageant, and will continue through next Sunday with the Little Buckaroo Rodeo, the PRCA Rodeo, the 6th Annual Duke of Dutch Ovens Chuck Wagon Cook-Off and the crowning of the 2013 Miss Rodeo New Mexico, to name a few.
What's in a name?
In a nod to the railroad engineers who helped found Clovis, the theme of this year's Pioneer Days is "Honoring BNSF: Clovis' Original Pioneers."
The Santa Fe Railway began transcontinental service through what is now Clovis in 1907, and the city was officially incorporated two years later in 1909.
New kid in town
In addition to the rodeos, pageants and parade, this year's celebration will include the Saddle Up 5K fun run and walk. It will be held on Saturday, June 8 at 7 a.m., and proceeds will benefit the Food Bank of Eastern New Mexico.
"It is our 30th anniversary this year," said Dianna Hernandez, marketing specialist for the food bank. "We wanted to celebrate our history in eastern New Mexico along with Clovis' heritage."
Registration is $30 and participants can visit www.fbenm.org to sign up online. Registration the day of the race begins at 6 a.m. at Main and Grand Streets and is $30, or $25 with five cans of food.
The original Clovis pioneers
Clayton Reed
One of the first settlers in Clovis, Reed sold land to the Santa Fe Railway in 1906 that eventually became the original townsite. Reed was a farmer, dairy owner and Realtor, and passed away in 1971 at the age of 90.
John Barry
Barry came to Clovis in 1907 from Atchison, Kan., and opened a hardware store with his brother Henry.
The original store at 200 Main Street was destroyed by fire in 1908, but was quickly rebuilt at 401 Main Street and stayed in business until January 2000.
James Bickley
Originally from Tennessee, Bickley moved to Clovis in 1907 and was elected county school superintendent in 1916. He was named superintendent of Clovis' public schools in 1921, and remained in the position until his retirement in 1945.
By the numbers
5: Number of churches known to exist in Clovis in 1907. The city has over 50 churches today.
3,255: Population of Clovis reported in the 1910 Census. One hundred years later, the 2010 Census reported a population of 37,775.
7: Number of newspapers known to exist in the first 15 years of Clovis' history. The Clovis News and The Clovis Journal merged in 1929 to form the Clovis News Journal.
23: Number of blocks that Clovis encompassed in 1907. The town went east and west from Thornton to Prince, and north and south from Brady Avenue to Seventh Street.
13,000: Estimated number of years since man first appeared in the Clovis area. The Blackwater Draw Site, located 14 miles southwest of Clovis, was discovered in 1929 and contains evidence of the early human occupation.

I had the pleasure of attending the OEWG in Geneva in May 2016. The Open-ended Working Group of the UN General Assembly is focused on finding legal measures 'to attain and maintain a world without nuclear weapons.' Below are impressions and memories.
At the OEWG, support grew for negotiation of a treaty banning nuclear weapons. A significant working paper, A/AC.286/WP.36, was submitted by 126 states which had endorsed the pledge originating at the Vienna Conference on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons in 2014 (conference photo from nukewatch.org).
I wrote a Letter to the Editor of the NYT – entitled 'Denuclearization Must Be Global,' the piece was printed on the last day of the OEWG.
UNFOLD ZERO initiated a panel presentation called 'Global support and political will.' I gave a talk about the #LetsTalkNukes initiative which is aimed at engaging the public about nuclear disarmament.
Alyn Ware is the Global Coordinator for PNND and co-founded Abolition 2000, the Basel Peace Office and UNFOLD ZERO, among other groups. It was due to Alyn's initiative that I attended the OEWG in May.
UNFOLD ZERO made an intervention regarding the role of nuclear weapons in security doctrines.
Peaceful art at the UN in Geneva, serving as a gentle reminder that nuclear disarmament and the sustainable development goals are in our hands.
Reaching Critical Will did a terrific job providing daily summaries and comments on the OEWG events.
In connection to the Ploughshares Fund, Michael Douglas attended the OEWG. Douglas is a UN Messenger of Peace focused on disarmament issues; from afar I was impressed with the humility and dedication of this man.
From the Youth Summit in Hiroshima to the OEWG in Geneva: Lovely catching up again with Hayley Ramsay-Jones (SGI), Alexandra Arce von Herold (IPPNW, PNND) and Selma Van Oostwaard (PAX), who are part of the Amplify – Generation of Change movement.

The 2013 NFL draft will be one of the more interesting ones in recent years.
Almost all of the teams picking in the top will be looking to trade down, seeing as there's no standout talent to lead off the first round.
There's no Andrew Luck, no Robert Griffin III, and no clear-cut can't miss prospects. The draft is heavily dominated by offensive and defensive linemen, especially considering the projected first seven players, including 10 of the first 12, play on the line.
In keeping with standard NFL draft rules, I did not predict any trades in my first-round mock draft, although they will surely happen. Leave your comments below, as always.

Best of L.A. Weekly: From "The Liberal Hour"
It's an exaggeration to say that liberals ever controlled the Democratic Party, but by any measure, holding them down to a single hour's speechifying has to mark a new low....
This convention's liberal hour, a Tuesday night entr'acte, featured Jesse, Teddy and Bill (Bradley, not Clinton). It was gloriously off-message. For an hour, there was not a single reference to retiring the debt. The Clinton-Gore paroxysms of prosperity received their due mention, but it was mainly the negative that was accentuated. This was the moment for delegates to hear about those 44 million Americans without health care, 13 million of them children; those people who mop the floors for the minimum wage; those seniors who can't afford to fill their prescriptions. This was the moment for a cry of justice, reduced, of course, to a brief yelp. This was, in short, the moment for a real Democratic speech....
The hour began with its climax.... Shortly before 6 p.m., Jesse Jackson came to the podium.... A Jackson speech begins in fits and starts, a dozen little streams burbling along; it ends, invariably, as a verbal-emotional Niagara.... He veered way off-message by calling for a moratorium on the death penalty, and immediately the delegates responded with cheers that rocked the hall. The line had come like water to a parched desert wanderer: These were people who had surrendered all hope of ever again hearing a controversial moral position — let alone one they shared — at a national convention. Anyone watching would conclude that while the party's leaders may have moved rightward, the party's base was still a bunch of unreconstructed bleeding-heart pinkos. Which is precisely why Jackson came on one hour before the networks' coverage began....
Then Harold Ford Jr., a sprightly 30-year-old congressman from Tennessee, came to the mike to deliver the keynote address. "Imagine a debt-free economy so strong that everyone shares in the American Dream," he said. No one applauded. The chatter among delegates rose to a roar. The liberal hour was over

I'm hoping we are past the painful biting stage. He currently has 4 teeth and has chomped down quite a few times. Most Moms just pull baby off and put him down when this happens, but I think Caleb would be content to not breastfeed at all. Since our breastfeeding relationship is just hanging on be a thread, I don't have that luxury and just had to work through it.
He still rejects the breast often, but usually takes his morning feed. Since I have had all night to "fill up" there is enough there for a decent feed and I cherish those nursing sessions. The past few days, he has been on a complete nursing strike and wanted nothing to do with it. He has also had a runny nose, so I hoped the two were related. But I was starting to worry he would never nurse again. This morning, I tried nursing in our bed instead of the rocker in his room and he latched like a champ. For some reason, whenever I get near the rocker now, he starts to cry. So we may be nursing in the bed now. I hope we can keep it up for a couple more months.
On the days when he rejected the breast, I pumped enough to give him 1 full bottle per day. So I am keeping up with my goal to give him breast milk every day. I realized that is my new definition of breastfeeding success. I can't exclusively breastfeed or even come close to it, but he has gotten a little bit of breast milk every day of his life thus far. Obviously I can't keep this up forever, but I am hoping to get to a year.

Skip to comments.Romney lunches with Obama at White House
Posted on 11/29/2012 1:52:56 PM PST by jimbo123
President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney talks in the Oval Office following their lunch. Bitter campaign foes just weeks ago, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney met for lunch at the White House on Thursday, sitting down with an eye on overlapping interests rather than the sharp differences that defined their presidential contest.
In their first meeting since the election, Obama and the Republican nominee met in the White House's private dining room, fulfilling a promise Obama made in his victory speech the night of Nov. 6.
Romney arrived at the White House early Thursday afternoon in a black SUV, walking into the West Wing alone. He left after staying at the White House for just over an hour.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
An hour? I'm sure there was substantial discussion on something during that hour. /s
Bitter campaign foes..? ROTFLMAOPIMP!!!
No big deal. Just 2 socialists having lunch.
Romney is and always has been a liberal. He might as well switch parties.
crap sandwiches and beer?
Should Romney have refused a meeting?
What good would that have done?
I'd rather have him than the communist we got.
Part of pretending we're not a banana republic.
Bitter foes they indeed were. Or so we thought. But it was all theater (see above sentence.)
We're not a Banana Republic?
What is the strategic advantage of acting like a sore loser, a la Al Gore?
The President would have loved nothing more than if Romney had refused the invitation.
Not yet, despite the growing number of quitters out there.
Obama effed Mitt up the butt and now gets to gloat in his face...
...Romney has gone from a mistake on our part to an embarrassment and Obama is gonna play with himself tonight with these images on his mind.
Romney sent a big FU to his donors with this Lunch With Barack nonsense. Good riddance to Mittens and his incompetent campaign advisors. No More RINOS, ever.
Icouldn't believe the lunch menu—Turkey chili...probably a a little lettuce or maybe a piece of fruit for dessert. OBummer shure didn't spend as much money for lunch as he usually does. If there were any left-overs, he gave them to the help.

The President lunched with a man whom he (or his proxies, same thing) had accused of causing a woman's death of cancer. Do I need to list the epithets directed by Obama at Romney? What was that about?
I'll tell you. It (the Presidential campaign) was about two Hahvahd buddies playing a game of pretending to disagree for the benefit of the naive TV viewers some of whom subsequently voted. A Hahvahd debating club. That was followed by an alumni luncheon at the White Hut.
I can understand why people were willing to pretend that Romney was OK after he became the only way to get Obama out of the White House.
But I do not understand how anyone can defend him NOW. Pro abortion, pro gay marriage, pro socialized medicine, pro big government.
Vicious when it came to fighting against conservatives, but wimpy when it came to fighting Obama. Now that it no longer matters, I can say that he didn't even win that first debate. Obama lost it. But Romney didn't really say anything all that memorable. He just stood there smiling and looking handsome while Obama screwed up.
No Romney ever fought for anything, excepting maybe Mormonism and money. They are marginalist, grinders, risk adverse, too little too late. Mitt won one election his whole life. He might well not of been reelected as he basically abandoned his
office half way in to advance on his primary true goal, the White House. Why? He had no political followers, he represented no particular political issue, his ghost books and statements were so empty, lifeless, vague as to be nothing. In his way, his run was very abusive to Republican voters. He asset stripped and leveraged the party like it was some poorly run company. Which the GOP is.
Team Romney and Karl Rove scammed millions of dollars from GOP donors and gifted it to the liberal media in advertising that didn't work and a failed GOTV ORCA mobile application/operation. FAIL. FAIL. FAIL.
"..Pro abortion, pro gay marriage, pro socialized medicine, pro big government..."
As I did for all of our candidates, I listened closely to his debates, his speeches and interviews. I read all of his position papers printed on his web page. I saw none of that which you say!
"..Pro abortion, pro gay marriage, pro socialized medicine, pro big government..."

Not from me. They wont get a dime from me until A) They learn how to govern B) Prove they understand the constitution.
There's nothing to defend about Romney now. I wish more people had voted for him simply because it would at least have cleared Jarrett and Axelrod out of the WH (in addition to the Boy King, of course), but he's toast now. There was a rumor that Bambi was going to offer him some position, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he took it, just as one final kick in the teeth to us.
That said, he began running for Prez in 2008 (if not before) and bought, threatened or lied to eliminate anybody in his way. If we don't want a repeat of this, letting some other rich RINO buy the position, we've got to start grooming a few good candidates now, so that there's name recognition and a support base at the very outset. We shouldn't spend our time tearing down candidates at the outset, especially with mindless invective, but should try to think who we would want and really do something about it. There are actually a number of possibles this time around, and I think several of them actually do want to run. (No more "Dream Candidates" who can't even decide if they want to run until it's too late!)
Anybody notice Republicans being set up to take the blame for Obama's destruction of America?
As Governor, Romney gave us Gay marriage, and Romney/Obamacare, and Mitt is famously known for being pro-abortion, he committed to abortion in 1963, and even after he was nominated, he returned to his abortion position, and rejected the party's pro-life platform.
Wasn't Thursday working lunch in private dining room where Hillary and Obummer met?
Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have no gonads. They will surrender to Obama, Pelosi and Reid and the GOP will still be blamed for everything.
A lot of interesting comments on this thread, so far. I find the concept of Romney and zero getting together a little scary. zero is scary enough by himself but, add in some ideas from Romney that zero can pervert to screw us worse than we already are, and we REALLY have problems.
Ads far as the prospect of any more RINOs goes, that's something we have to address with the RNC. They gave us Bob Dole, Bush 41 & 43, McLame and Romney. The fix for Romney was in before the campaign season actually kicked off.
AFAIC, if you want to eliminate RINOs, you have to start by gaining control of the RNC. And, the RNC only understands 1 thing - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!! Stop sending them money and maybe . . . . . . . . MAYBE we can start getting decent, non-RINO candidates.
I actually voted for Romney, although it was a real moral question whether I should or not. But I decided that he was marginally more likely to undermine Christianity and kill babies than Obama.
Still, Romney went all the way in favor of abortion while he was governor. He included taxpayer funded abortion as "health care" in his socialized medicine, and he included a member of Planned Parenthood as an ex-officio member of the board of Romneycare.
I'm still not sure whether voting for Romney was allowable in good conscience, but I decided that I would do it, out of horror of more Obama. Anyway, not much chance that he would win Vermont.
But why people won't admit NOW that shoving Romney down our throats was a terrible mistake is a mystery to me.
Sorry, I meant LESS likely. Although frankly, it was pretty close.
Not to sound mean..but all of the people that ran to his aide when he tried to destroy the other candidates, see what he really is. Obama and him together..for what! He just made OBama look like he was not all that bad of a person/leader. Romney looks foolish. In the article, Romney says, it was a day of closure. He let the party down and goes to thank Obama for a good campaign. Maybe, this was all set as some suggest.
I always thought the Romney campaign was a setup for Jeb Bush in 2016. Romney's campaign advisors were all Bushies and Ken Mehlman RNC staffers. And remember the secret winter White House meeting with Obama, Bush 41 and Jeb Bush in Jan 2010?
Bingo. There is absolutely NOTHING to be gained by appearing conciliatory and compromising, so Republicans should go all out actually acting like - you know - Republicans.
. "....He let the party down and goes to thank Obama for a good campaign. Maybe, this was all set as some suggest ..."....
No enemies among the Harvard elite.
Two parties, one choice, big gov.
When you show up in the same place where any politician is the center of attraction, you lend them credibility.
Don't ever do that unless you agree with them.
I'll tell you why. This is nothing more than the bullshit of "Good cop/Bad cop".....
I have, once again, puked on my keyboard.........what a sham this crap is.
President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney talks in the Oval Office....
They talks, does they?
<<—sigh—>> Grammar is just so, so difficult.
I suspect, truth be known, the Bush/GOP party, didn't really mind about Romney's advancement of gay marriage bill and the state run health care law in Massachusetts, along with his views of abortion. I think they plan and hope to soften all of these issues ..just working on it with the public. If Mitt had won, this would had pushed the ball further down the field. They know the mind of the conservative to work against us. Pretty soon, conservatives are going to have to force a conservative candidate (next primary cycle) or we all have to build a new constitutional party. One goal of many. Not making it about a personality. If the House caves, it will be a huge backlash. Everywhere, I go, people say no more taxes to the government waste.
Anybody notice Republicans being set up to take the blame for Obamas destruction of America?
My thought, as well. Obamugabe will pretend to follow advice from Romney and then blame him for the failure of Obamugabe's policies.
this small smart phone..and even on my desktop at home.

Running a car on the same fuel you might use to cook your dinner or heat your home may sound odd to most drivers, but it's music to the ears of John O'Dell.
A year ago, faced with a 116-mile round-trip commute to his office in Southern California and a $100 weekly gasoline bill, O'Dell switched from a Subaru Outback to the Honda Civic GX, a factory-modified model that runs exclusively on natural gas.
So far, the results have been pleasing, says O'Dell, senior editor at automotive research Web site Edmunds.com.
To fill his car's tank, O'Dell visits natural gas fueling stations in Southern California and uses Honda's home refueling kit (called the "Phill") that taps into the same gas line that could be used to fuel home appliances. Instead of $4 for a gallon for gasoline, he's paying on average between $2.12 and $2.22 a gallon to fuel up his Civic GX and getting as much as 33 miles per gallon — more than the combined 29 mpg rating of the regular Civic.
Best of all, says O'Dell, he's zipping down the high-occupancy vehicle lanes in California based on his car's classification as a low-emission vehicle.
The principal reason for owning a GX is economics," said O'Dell. In addition to cutting his fuel bill by two-thirds, he is also paying less to his mechanic because natural gas is the cleanest of fossil fuels and causes much less wear and tear on an engine. The vehicle also has a high resale value, based in part on its special status in California's HOV lanes.
But natural gas cars have their limitations. The GX is the only production car available in the United States that runs on compressed natural gas, or CNG, and is sold only in New York and California, the two states where there are enough refueling stations. The Big Three U.S. automakers ceased making such vehicles a few years ago.
The limited availability of fueling stations and the car's restricted range are other drawbacks.
A number of independent companies sell conversion kits for a few thousand dollars that will retrofit gasoline-powered cars to run on CNG, yet the number of natural-gas powered cars on U.S. roads is a tiny fraction of the around 15 million vehicles sold each year in the United States. Currently, 116,131 of the 634,562 alternative fueled vehicles in use nationwide run on natural gas, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.
Natural gas is getting another look as a fuel, particularly for transportation, because of the expected boom in American natural gas production, which is dragging down its price.
This November, a measure that will appear on California's ballot that proposes the sale of $5 billion in bonds to fund alternative energy rebates for vehicles, including natural gas-powered cars and trucks, and also incentives for the research, development and purchase of renewable energy technology. Training and education initiatives in this field will also receive grants.
Texas billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens is the primary sponsor of the measure though his company Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
The little-known GX sedan has excellent green credentials. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy recently named it the cleanest mainstream car on the road in its annual listings of "greenest" and "meanest" vehicles, based on output of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, both during the manufacturing process and on the road.
Despite its fuel-efficiency and green status, the natural gas car seems destined to remain a niche player in the auto industry, according to Daniel Sperling, director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis, and author of the forthcoming book "Two Billion Cars: Driving Towards Sustainability."
Honda currently produces about 1,000 units of the GX each year and has plans to increase production only modestly, he said. Most vehicles running on CNG are municipal bus fleets, taxis, trucks or other commercial vehicles, and it's expensive to install natural gas tanks in vehicles and build fueling stations. What's more, there's a limited amount of natural gas available for transportation use because most of the U.S. supply is used to make electricity, he said.
"Some countries have one million cars on their roads running on natural gas — countries like Brazil and Argentina," Sperling said. "In countries like that where there's a lot of natural gas available for cars it makes sense and it's a fabulous fuel, but it's still a short-term transportation fuel here."

A bomb scare wound up a dud today at the Midland County Courthouse.
Early this morning, a bomb threat was left on the voice mail of a judicial assistant, Trial Court Administrator Jerome M.P. Kole said.
Upon scouring the building, Midland Police, Midland County Sheriff's deputies and courthouse security personnel did not find any explosive devices.
As per bomb scare procedure, authorities did not close the courthouse. There was no obvious reason for the threat, such as a key trial, said Midland County Undersheriff Mike Vasicek.

In 1926, £165 could buy a brand new Austin 7 saloon but today the cost of living and the pressure on family finances mean that owning and running a car can be costly. For many, the solution is to run a secondhand car which leads to issues with maintenance costs and the cars not being as economical as modern cars. Most people's finances are too tight to be able to drive their ideal car but with the low cost of our lease cars, anything is possible.
Obviously for that price you won't be getting an Audi (though you'd be surprised just how cheap they can be to lease with us!) but, subject to availability of offers on ranges and models, our pay monthly cars offering can feature gems like the Peugeot 108, Fiat 500, Vauxhall Corsa, SEAT Mii, Citroen C1, Ford Fiesta and the Volkswagen Up! - all cars for £99 a month or less.
First Vehicle Leasing are among the UK's leading car lease firms and we have a solution for even the tightest budget. Not only can you get a car for as little as £79.99 per month, but it will be a brand new vehicle! Cheap car financing is something we arrange for our customers every day and many of our happy customers will recommend us to others.
If you are looking for pay monthly cars, bear in mind that we can adjust the initial payments to keep your monthly outlay within your budget.
Don't buy when you can lease for less! With First Vehicle Leasing, the choice is wider than you thought for cars you run for the price of a family night out with a great value car leasing deal from us.
If you're not sure about cars for £100 a month, why not call one of our expert advisors on 0800 298 2030 (UK only) for information or to discuss which car suits your finances and saves you money, or use our best quote calculator to find the finance deal that you want.

Housing and Urban Development:
Comments on HUD's Fiscal Year 2000 Budget Request

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Housing Urban Development's (HUD) fiscal year (FY) 2000 budget request, focusing on: (1) new initiatives or significant increases proposed by HUD; and (2) observations about HUD's request for funding related to several areas GAO has reported on in the past year.
GAO noted that: (1) to support 19 new programs and initiatives, HUD is requesting nearly $731 million of its $28 billion total request for FY 2000; (2) in each case, Congress did not provide funding for the activity in FY 1999, although in some cases the program has been funded in prior years; (3) GAO is concerned about HUD's overall capacity to plan for, administer, and oversee this many new programs, particularly when HUD itself is undergoing significant organizational reform and when some of the new initiatives are in areas, such as contracting, that HUD's performance has been questioned in the past; (4) one of the most significant increases in HUD's current programs for FY 2000 is a $1 billion increase in its Section 8 rental housing assistance program; (5) however, the budget does not provide sufficient information to evaluate this request; (6) GAO believes a number of associated issues exist that warrant review; (7) HUD's tracking and oversight of its Community Development and Planning grants are made difficult because information in its grants management information system is unreliable; (8) although HUD plans to replace the current system for managing and tracking Community Development Block Grants, a new system is several years away from implementation; (9) in the meantime, HUD's FY 2000 budget request proposes to continue adding set-asides to the block grant; (10) however, HUD cannot be assured that financial tracking of the individual grants and grantees will be adequate; (11) in one of its largest new initiatives, HUD is requesting over $200 million in FY 2000 to fund contract administrators for the contracts it has with owners of multifamily properties in HUD's project-based Section 8 housing assistance program; (12) however, work that GAO, HUD's Inspector General, and the National Academy of Public Administration have done in the past on HUD's contracting activities identified weaknesses in HUD's ability to administer contracts and monitor contractors' performance; (13) however, GAO believes that the success of this program will depend on the adequacy of HUD's contract selection, administration, and oversight of these contracts; (14) HUD is proposing both a new initiative and a program increase in the area of empowerment zones as well as two set-asides in the Community Development Block Grant Program for empowerment zones; and (15) these proposals raise questions about how the programs will coordinate with and benefit from each other because they target similar beneficiaries.

June 20, 2008
As you may know, I have opposed all attempts by this President to limit our civil liberties or to circumvent our judicial system. Because of these strong beliefs, I was one of only 66 Members who voted against the original so-called PATRIOT Act.
Over many months, I have written to you regarding the ongoing effort in Congress to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Today, the House voted on a new bill that represents a "compromise" between congressional negotiators and the White House. I believe that today was a sad day in American history. Supporters argue that this bill succeeds in balancing protection for civil liberties with measures needed for our security, but I could not disagree more strongly. I believe that adherence to the Constitution and its Fourth amendment is the only way to ensure our freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, and the other freedoms safeguarded by the Bill of Rights. This legislation utterly fails to meet that test. On the issue of retroactive immunity for telecom providers, the bill compels the dismissal of cases as long as companies were told by the government that the surveillance was legal, making the court review virtually meaningless.
I have always regarded the preservation of our cherished liberties as one of my most solemn obligations. I am deeply saddened at today's vote.
I voted NO and the entire vote is recorded below:
On Thursday, the House took votes on two amendments related to additional spending for FY 2008. The first was to provide $165.4B to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As all of you know, I voted against the war in Iraq and have been doing everything I can to end this war and start bringing our men and women in uniform home. I share the deep disappointment of many of my constituents that we have not yet been able to convince the Senate or a veto-proof majority in the House to join our efforts. Although I do not think that we will be able to convince President Bush to change course in Iraq, I will never stop trying to do that. I am also very hopeful that our next President will end the war in Iraq.
I voted NO, but the amendment passed and the entire vote is recorded below:
The second amendment reduces the war funding by approximately $4 billion and enacts a new GI bill. It restores full, four-year college scholarships to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This amendment also provides an additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits through March 2009. The amendment includes emergency funding for pressing needs, including the global food crisis, science funding shortfalls, and disaster relief. Finally, the bill blocks six Medicaid regulations proposed by the Bush Administration that if implemented could be devastating to the Massachusetts health reform effort.
I voted YES. The amendment passed and the entire vote is recorded below:
This week, the Subcommittee on Capitol Security, which I chair, held a hearing on United States Capitol Police Radio Upgrades. The Capitol Police updated us on the status of efforts to upgrade their outdated radio communications system. Their mission is to ensure a safe environment for everyone visiting the Capitol and those working in Congress, and an essential component of that mission is the ability of the Capitol Police to communicate effectively within the department and with other relevant public safety personnel. We also heard from representatives from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials about the importance of interoperability in radio systems and the need for the Capitol Police to move forward with their proposed plans.
Much has been asked of the Capitol Police in recent years, due to the expanding nature of security threats and the necessity of improving the flow of information during a crisis. This hearing allowed our Subcommittee to better understand the process used by the Capitol Police in deciding on the type of system they feel is necessary to enhance the safety of the Capitol Complex. I look forward to working with them to facilitate the implementation of an improved system.
Next week, the House is scheduled to consider a number of bills before the July 4th district work period, including a Medicare physician fee fix, AMT relief, the ADA Restoration Act, and several pieces of energy legislation.

After several years of negotiations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is releasing $148.3 million, its final major chunk of financing to rebuild St. Bernard Parish public schools. The lump sum is about $60 million more than the $88 million that FEMA initially assessed for loss value. It allows the school board to consolidate its Hurricane Katrina rebuilding projects into fewer, but improved, facilities that incorporate the district's reimagined vision for its new community footprint.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who pushed the 2008 legislation that allows for lump-sum payments and reduced the penalty for alternative plans, said the St. Bernard school financing announced on Tuesday, as well as $1.8 billion that FEMA agreed to give New Orleans' public schools in 2010, shows that "metro New Orleans schools can now rebuild for the future rather than being tethered to past plans."
St. Bernard schools Superintendent Doris Voitier said the added FEMA money now will pay for virtually everything in the district's master plan, although there are a few smaller projects that "we may have to request to increase to reflect actual costs." The total $148.3 million announced Tuesday is part of about $500 million the district has received from FEMA since Katrina in 2005.
"Our consolidated funding best reflects the needs of the St. Bernard Parish School Board as they embark on their final rebuilding efforts and becoming the first school system in Louisiana destroyed by Hurricane Katrina to reach their end goal -- full recovery," Andre Cadogan, FEMA's Louisiana Recovery Office's deputy director of programs, said Tuesday.
Story by
Benjamin Alexander-Bloch
and Bruce Alpert
Staff writers
The Landrieu legislation gave FEMA authority to provide a single payment to Katrina and Rita-affected school districts for a series of facilities, instead of simply approving disaster payments project by project. That same provision allowed FEMA to reduce penalties for alternative projects, such as St. Bernard's decision to replace its original 15 facilities with only nine major facilities.
The additional $60 million also comes from FEMA's reassessment of district losses. The school district argued that many of FEMA's original assessments had undervalued the cost of rebuilding in today's marketplace, with today's codes and standards, Voitier said.
"The whole intent isn't to give you more than what you had before, but to give you the financial value of what you had in the past and not tie you to have to do exactly what you had previously," Voitier said. "You have to think how you are going to rebuild to service the community you have now and the community you expect the parish to become."
Before Katrina, the parish had three public high schools. Now Chalmette High School, which is in the first year of a three-year renovation and expansion project, is the only one.
Since 2008, the district has completed Joe Davies Elementary and J.F. Gauthier Elementary, the new Ninth Grade Academy, a $28.7 million cultural arts building, and a transportation, maintenance and storage building. LaCoste Elementary and Arabi Elementary School Gymnasium are slated to open in August. And the conversion of the Maumus Center, which will house a science center, planetarium and small-scale Hurricane Katrina museum, is set to seek bids in the next few months.

On August 1941, two of history's greatest defenders of democracy, Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt, at the crucial time in history when democracy was in peril, braved the enemy submarine threat on the Atlantic to meet near Placentia, to, among other things, plot to rid Newfoundland of democracy when the time arrived for its return. Sounds inconceivable? Possibly a little crazy? Don't brush it off lightly. Because that is exactly what modern day Confederation conspiracy promoters claim.
They declare this meeting was held "... after (the Americans) had built five of their largest military bases in the world in Newfoundland, and having spent hundreds of millions of dollars here, the two leaders decided that democracy would not be allowed to return to Newfoundland in order to protect their interests."
But wait a minute; democracy's duo met here when? August 1941. This cannot be right. The American bases had not yet been built and less than $50 million, rather than hundreds of millions of dollars, had been spent by the Americans up to that date. When all the Newfoundland bases were completed, they were a far cry from the five largest in the world. In total acres for U.S. bases: Jamaica boasted 31,409; Trinidad 25,752, and Newfoundland, 4,547.
Apart for the documented evidence contradicting this in Churchill's memoirs, there is the Anglo-American Bases Act of July 11, 1941, giving the Americans 99-year leases on bases in Newfoundland.
What nobody told the Newfoundlanders was that Churchill, with Roosevelt's approval, included the provision that when democracy was restored in Newfoundland "...wherever in the Act the words 'the Government of the United Kingdom' occur in relation to the Newfoundland territory leased, the Agreement shall be interpreted to mean the Government of Newfoundland and the Agreement shall then be construed accordingly."
This is certainly not the protection for Newfoundland's rights that two leaders would show if planning to deprive Newfoundland of its democracy. The Confederation conspiracy theory is built upon a host of similar combinations of fact, fiction fancy and exaggerations. In this widely publicized story, fictional claims are added to the fact that the two leaders met in Newfoundland. The result of combining the one fact surrounded with exaggerated fiction is an unsupported and fabricated version of history. Historic records annihilate the basis for the Roosevelt-Churchill involvement in the Confederation conspiracy theory. The same is true for the entire theory.
