This was an overnight stop for us. We had a pull through spot. The power is excellent. The water pressure was okay and the sewer connection was convenient.
The sites are close to I-80 but the road noise did not bother as we kept our windows closed.
We have stayed here multiple times for overnight stops. - skigramp

Located near highway so it's noisy, but the area around campsites are well-maintained. Gravel campsites are level with a few trees. Water is heavily chlorinated. Picnic tables. No fire rings. Full hookups. Easy access. - 2_Alaskans

This park is just off I-80 so there is a lot of road noise but with the windows closed we were not bother by it. The big rig sites are long gravel-dirt pull thrus in the open for great satellite reception but very close. With all the rain there were many mud ruts and standing water every where. New owner did not spread gravel or take any steps to fix the problem. We stayed a month and the 2 laundry rooms with one washer and dryer in each room were filthy. The trash container in the laundry was never emptied or the dead crickets swept off the floor the entire time we were there. WiFi only up at store. Great central location for going to races at Knoxville, Boone and Marshalltown. - mrk

This is a beautiful campground right on the Rock Creek, which looks more like a river. However, there is not a level site in the entire campground. All sites are grass and very soft ground. This is not a campground for motorhomes or even larger fifth wheels. We stayed one night, had blocks under our jacks, and by morning the blocks had sunk in the ground 8 - 12" and we had to dig our jacks out. I would not recommend this campground to anyone with a larger RV. I rated this campground the way I did because of the unlevel sites and very soft ground. - kwikkeys10

My daughter and I stayed here for an overnight in a Class B RV. We arrived and the host was very helpful. We took a spot right on the lake. It was not level but we wanted to be by the lake for the evening. The campground was very clean and people were nice. We were there during the week and it was not crowded at all. We used the 30 amp hookup. If we were in our old Class A pusher it would have been tight getting around. This spot is great for smaller motorhomes and trailers but there seemed to be a few spots for the big ones. We'd stay again for sure. - Flash

Sites vary in size, most are available with electricity. Water is available in the campground, fill up before you park. Sites on the south loops of the park are grass, and you are welcome to park anywhere in the wide site. Our chosen location on the wide site was mostly level. Trees shade many sites, but there are no privacy bushes. Sites that back up to each other can put you close to your neighbor, and there is no vegetation for privacy. Nice playground. Boat rentals are available at the marina. Boat trailer parking is near the campground entrance. Few people use the multi-use trails, we met only four runners, and two ladies on horseback. Our dog enjoyed her run, and brief wades into the lake. The park is a reasonable 20 mile/25 minute drive to one of the few remaining Drive-In Theaters - this seasonal theater is located in Newton, IA. Verizon phone and wifi coverage was strong. We will return. - AluminumCloud

If you want a good night's sleep, DO NOT STAY HERE. This Campground sits right next to Interstate 80. VERY NOISY. - Shamrock ll

Expensive for an older park with plenty of highway noise, very tight camp sites, felt like a work camp, guest and host were pleasant. - Kevin-

This KOA is good for what it was. A place off the highway to spend a quick night in a pull through with full hookups to dump the tanks (we couldn't!) and get a very early start the next morning. The sites were dirt (mud) and not very level (two lego blocks needed under left side tires) and had full hookups, although my sewer wouldn't reach (even with 20 feet of sewer hose!) Sewer connection was for a mid-rig hookup and we have a rear bumper hookup. Each site had a wooden picnic table but ours was worn and splintery so we didn't use it.
The campground was empty when we arrived around 2pm but by 6pm it was pretty darn full. The spots are TIGHT together and had we put our awning out our neighbor would have hit it while pulling in. Another camper (maybe an employee) also parked his pickup truck so far to the front of the empty pull through next to us we would have had to back out of our site to leave had he not come running out to move it once we started to pack up. Had he not moved it we wouldn't have fit between his truck and the Class A on the other side of the road.
Power worked without problem, water had good pressure and the friendly office staff *highly* recommended a pressure regulator. We didn't use the wifi but the cable was fuzzy on all channels for us.
Plenty of "grassy" areas to walk our two small dogs but the grass was long and we were afraid of ticks and other bugs. The fenced in area to allow the dogs to run would have been nice but the grass was about a foot tall and we didn't like the idea of them running in such unkempt grass. Like some other reviews have said, once you get past the office the maintenance and upkeep go downhill.
Overall, we were happy with our stay although we would not stay more than one night. - PilotJeff

We stayed here before about 6 years ago. Everything is the same. It's a nice, little campground with good facilities. The mother-daughter owners keep it looking cared for. We suffered from many mosquitoes, so couldn't stay outside the rig like we wanted. Anytime we need a campground in the area of Marshalltown, IA, this is the one we will use. - rvrose
Sep 2010 - $24.00
Take the two previous reviews and moderate both and you have a fair review of this campground. Yes it is family run by a Mother/Daughter combo that sometimes appear somewhat eccentric. Yes, rules posted and printed are somewhat harsh and intimidating, but rarely monitored or enforced. My dog (Hank) and I were in residence here for two months, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The campground provided what we needed!!! Clean, well maintained, level sites. We are self contained and need not the showers/washrooms. Certainly not a lot of amenities: privacy and location were our requirements. I will be coming back and will stay here again. - macgyver51

We loved this park. It was very small and very well maintained. Aside from amenities at the site (50amp full hook ups) there really isn't anything else here, though. But it's a good stop over for a visit to the Giant Tree House. The tour was FABULOUS and great for kids BTW, and we highly recommend it for adults too. It was very quiet and peaceful setting. - Danni

We stayed here 3 nights while visiting friends in the area. Riverview Park is on the NE side of Marshalltown. Tall trees and roomy park grounds are a plus as well as access to the local bike trail. We had a full hook-up but were glad to move to a gravel site as a grassy site can quickly get spongy with rain. The campground hosts were very helpful. - gbburgess
May 2016 - $20.00
This is a really neat campground in Marshalltown Iowa, adjacent to the Iowa River. Unfortunately, there are no river views because there is a levee between the campground and the river. Many of the full hookup sites have no camping spur per se, one simply parks on the grass next to the hookups, but no big deal. Some of them have gravel spurs, but were taken when we arrived. Biggest plus of this campground is the very large dog park that is just down the way. We enjoyed having a place to take the dog to mingle with the other local hounds. Fishing is available in the Iowa river, but we had no luck whatsoever as far as catching goes. Full hookups for 20 bucks and Marshalltown, IA has full services for whatever one may need. There are some large shade trees scattered throughout the park, but not so many to preclude satellite TV reception. We really enjoyed our stay here. - Stax

Nicest campground host! We drove to the sign-in kiosk, grabbed an envelope, then drove to our 100% level grass site. Before we could park between the trees, the host rushed over to check that we'd picked a dry spot after this day's heavy rain. After we set up, she sweetly returned to be sure that we had everything we needed for the night. All this at a campground that is self-serve! Lots of mature trees. Very few mosquitoes. Great walking path around the pond and tennis courts. $12 electric. $17 full hook ups. Inside I could not hear the many trains pulling through downtown blocks away. We did stay the night during racing season, and the cars could be heard inside, but not when the air conditioner was running. Highway 14 near the park is currently paved with a texture that makes quite a rumbling noisy annoyance. We may return. - AluminumCloud

others have said, excellent sites, good electricity. But, do not bother making a reservation. There is no system in place to actually reserve a spot for you. When I called ahead about late arrival, I was told to just pick a spot then go to hotel to register. No spot was saved for me. - John McK
Jun 2016 - $19.00
I was pretty surprised by this park after the last one we were in that was really bad. The sites were level and concrete with electric only but they have water and a dump on site. The restaurant was really nice and and so was the casino.The RV park also had clean showers and restrooms and a decent laundry. I would recommend for a great overnight stay. - openroad4me
Sep 2015 - $19.00
Never stayed at a Casino RV Park before. This was really very nice, too bad power only. 50 spaces, all pull through and about 50' long. Roads were blacktop, pads are cement, picnic table, grass, and young shade trees. The bathrooms are card controlled, and very clean. The laundry looked nice, 3 washers, 3-dryers. Antenna TV was great! The grounds are very clean and neat and maintained constantly as it is all part of the hotel grounds. Very well lit with security everywhere, it's a casino what else.
When you pull off US30 you'll start on a road toward the big hotel, watch for a sign directing RV's to the right. This will take you around the hotel to the rear where this surprising little park is. It is a sort of double check in.
Check-in at the park office and get a spot assigned, with that in hand you go up to the hotel office, easy walk mostly indoors, and register at your assigned spot, pay for your stay, and get cards for the bathrooms.
The casino is amazing. Lights and bells constantly with the digital music that these new age "slot machines" make. And the dealers and the table games, a huge bingo hall, and even OTB. Along with all this is three very nice restaurants, and even a food court like at a big mall.
Everyone is very nice and go out of their way to help you. Yes, I understand that want you to gamble, but we didn't and it was not a problem. We would come back, it was fun. - Jack B

The good: laid back place, kid friendly, playground equipment (some new, some old, all in good shape), sand on the volleyball court, lots of fire rings, friendly staff & campers, no excessive noise from other campers (stayed on a Friday night). The bad: dirt road for the last half mile (rig might get dusty or muddy), men's bathroom/shower was a little dark/dated/rough but no bad smells or mess, and wasn't nervous about using them, the couple of the roads are a little tight in some turns, but the big rigs can make it through no problem with a little forethought. Not quite enough picnic tables, and a few more shade trees are needed. Would definitely recommend this place if you have kids for 5 to 15, would not hesitate to stay here again. - Medford
Sep 2011 - $21.00
Very pleasant and well thought out park. If you do not like kids this is not for you. The owner has taken great pride in providing a clean well kept RV park. The one major problem if you do not get full hook up is the location of the "Dump Station", you need to plan ahead before using it. I will be back to this park. Great location also for the casino. - rving4fun

Sep 2013 - $18.00
Well the campsite was nice, but the grass was brown. They have tent camping, but complain if you pitch one up. I got a slip on the tent "you're killing our grass please take down". If you're here to fish Lake Red Rock fair warning!! Bring your own bait because the closest shop is 20 miles away and if you ask the locals they have no clue. Its a real nice lake but no lake bait shop and the gas dock opens at 9am and closes at 2pm. So bring gas as it's 4.75 a gallon for 87 octane. The campground does not enforce the 10pm quiet time because at 2 am the campers were lighting off fire works. If you like college frat parties you will like this. Drunk boater camping here after a day on the water. All night long yelling and stumbling around the camp. We reported them every night, but no change. We will not come back because we talked to others and they say it's like this every weekend. - duramax man

On Lake Red Rock. Electric-only sites with dump station. Great shaded sites, grassy areas, with level parking. Golden Age card accepted. A great "Volksweg Trail" - an asphalt pathway that winds for ten miles through mature timbered areas, restored prairies and open areas offering fantastic views around Lake Red Rock - RedT

They're stuck in quarantine afterwards, for all the good John thinks it's going to do. They've already been out too long by the time they get to the base, and it takes even longer for them to be isolated, contained. Separated.
He feels the weight of it heavy on his shoulders. Sam's absence is something almost tangible, an ache low in his gut, and for seventy-two hours the ticking clock in his head is punctuated by stolen glances down at his hands.
He remembers the way Sarge's gloves had ripped, the way Stahle had strained at the cuffs chaining him to the bed. He doesn't sleep.
There are blood tests, a physical examination. This is a military base, not a proper UAC facility, and the tests are seemingly thorough but perfunctory. They ask questions, and John says nothing he doesn't have to; when they don't start pressuring him for more, he guesses Sam hasn't spoken up, either.
He's almost surprised when they release him, but he doesn't question it. Not when Sam is standing right in front of him, and he reaches for her before he can stop himself, clasping his hand tightly around hers. She smiles, tired but genuine, and once he's convinced himself she's really there, warm and solid beneath his hands, the echoes in his head start to fade.
"Let's go home, soldier," she says, and the word doesn't sting as much as it used to.
"Are you okay?" she asks, before he's even shut the door behind him.
"I'm fine," he says, and sinks onto a stool in the kitchen. Sam passes him a glass of water, and he gives her a long, level look. "I'm not the one who had to be carried out of there."
"And I'm not the one -" She stops short, but he can hear the words she doesn't say. I'm not the one who injected C-24. I'm not the one who nearly turned into a monster.
"I'm fine," he says again, and looks away. Her hand rests on the counter, close to his but not touching, and he resists the impulse to close the gap between them, to feel her skin on his.
"I'm exhausted," she says finally, and he looks at her.
"You should get some sleep."
She shrugs, and looks down. "I don't think ..."
She trails off, and he studies her, noting the dark circles under her eyes. He wonders if she's slept any more than he has.
"I'm going to take a shower," she says, and gestures at her clothes. "I don't even want to know what I smell like." She laughs, and it sounds strange to his ears, out of place, but it seems to break some of the tension he's been storing up.
"And here I thought that was me," he says, and she sticks her tongue out at him as she leaves. For the first time since they were kids, it makes him feel like things are okay between them, and he stops glancing down at his hands.
Even on the other side of the house, he can hear the shower start.
"Sam -"
"Hold still, would you? I can't do this if you keep moving around."
"You don't need to do this," he says, and tugs his arm out of her grasp, looking carefully at the needle she's holding. "They already did their tests back at the base."
"They didn't know what they were looking for," she says, and reaches for him again. "I do."
This time, he leaves his arm where it is. He doesn't tell her that is something had gone wrong with the injection, he wouldn't be sitting here now. He knows her well enough to know she'll rest easier once she has the actual results in front of her. Truth be told, so will he.
She leans over the desk, which takes up most of the space in the small room. There are assorted pieces of lab equipment spread out over it, stuff he'd guess she's probably not allowed to have, and the clutter stands out in contrast to what he's seen of the rest of the house. This is the only room, he thinks, that really looks like Sam's.
He can feel it sting a little as the needle goes in, feel the pressure of her hand resting on his arm. She presses a cotton swab to his skin as she withdraws the needle; a second later, he can see the realisation dawn on her, and she lets go. There's a small amount of blood on the cotton, but when he glances down, the wound is closed.
"Side effects," he drawls, and she smiles.
He reaches for her as she sets the needle down, and lifts her so she's standing in front of him, her back pressed against the edge of the desk. Her weight is insubstantial in his arms, as light as the clothes she wears, and his hands don't move from her waist. He stands up, and presses a kiss lightly to her lips.
"Let me know when you're done," he says, and she nods mutely. She turns back around to face the desk, and he slips out quietly.
The house is too big for one person, he thinks, especially for one who's rarely here. It feels too big for two, and the silence stretches out around him, punctuated only by the settling of the floorboards, the occasional noise from the street outside. Sounds he shouldn't be able to hear.
He turns the radio on in the corner of the living room, and runs his hand across a dust-lined shelf. Books and lab equipment, he thinks, are the only real sign that his sister lives here, the only personal touches he can find. There are no clothes tossed carelessly aside, no marks on the floor from where the furniture has been moved slightly out of place. No photographs of Sam, laughing and smiling, posing for the camera; not even of the two of them, her face too round, too innocent, his posture a little too stiff beside her.
He turns away from the bare walls, and settles down on the couch to wait.
"So, what's the verdict?" he asks, when Sam finally comes to find him. "Am I human?"
"That's always been debatable," she says. "But you're healthy. Perfectly healthy, actually."
He knows what that means, but it's not like he wasn't expecting it. The evidence of it is all over him; on his face, his hand, on all the places where he should be scarred but isn't.
"So I'm not ..." He tries to keep his voice light. "I'm not going to turn into one of those things?"
She sits down beside him, and looks him square in the eye. "Not a chance."
He holds her gaze for a moment, and then leans forward, touching his lips to hers. She remains still for a second, and then she kisses him back, softly, her lips parting slightly.
He twists so he's closer to her, his hands going to her waist, grazing her stomach, mapping the feel of her. When he presses a hand to her ribcage, she pulls back sharply, a flash of pain darkening her expression. He's suddenly mindful of the way she'd lain in the ark chamber, of the marks the battle must have left on her. His injuries may have healed, he realises, but she still bears hers.
"Sam," he says hoarsely. "God, Sam, I'm sorry. Are you -"
"Just bruised," she says, smiling faintly. She turns a little to face him, and he watches her carefully. "Don't worry, I'll heal."
"Just not as fast as me," he says, and this time, her smile is genuine.
"We can't all be supermen," she says gently.
"I'm not -"
"John," she says, interrupting him. She reaches out, tracing a hand across his cheek. "I know who you are."
She leans forward to kiss him, and he closes his eyes, letting her. His hands itch out reach for her, but he keeps them by his side, steady and unmoving. Even with his eyes closed, he can sense her movements, feel when she shifts her weight against him; when he opens his eyes again, she's straddling him gingerly, her hand laying between them, pressed against his chest.
"I love you," she says, and he doesn't want to think she's doing this only for him. He can feel, too plainly, his need for her, and he skims his hands up her side, trying not to put too much emphasis in the act.
"Sam," he says. His voice is thick, his throat constricted.
"Close your eyes," she says, and he does.
He wakes up tangled beside her, pale light streaming in from the window. The sheet is draped across Sam's hips, and he can see the marks on her skin, already beginning to fade. He runs a hand over a patch of unblemished skin, and winces.
He hits the shower before she can wake.
She's eating breakfast by the time he's showered and changed, dry cereal he'd guess is already stale. She passes the box to him silently, and his fingers brush over hers; he waits for her to pull away, searches her eyes for some sign of regret, of revulsion, and is more relieved than he'd like to admit when he finds none.
"Don't you have any real food?" he asks, and she punches him lightly on the shoulder.
"Complaining," she says, the corners of her mouth curling upwards. "Nice."
"Hey," he says, sliding the nearly-empty box back across the counter. "Even a superman's got to eat."
She reaches over him to put the cereal away, and he places a hand low on her back, pressing a kiss to the nape of her neck. She freezes for a moment, and then turns, her position allowing him to wrap his arms more fully around her.
"I want to run some more tests," she says, and he can't quite keep the grimace off his face. Her expression tells him she noticed. "There are still things we don't know, John. About how C-24 works, about how -"
"So you want to use me as a lab rat."
"I want to make sure you're okay," she says. "They're going to expect you ..." She pauses, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth. "I need to see what this has changed."
Everything, he thinks grimly.
"Indulge me," she says, and he shakes his head in defeat.
"Fine," he says. "But I'm not eating stale cereal again for lunch."
She smiles softly, and entwines her fingers with his. "Deal."
By the time she's run all the tests she asked for, the bruises on Sam's skin have all but faded, and the kitchen is, if not well-stocked, at least not completely empty. He cooks for her one night; it's nothing special, but he's learned to get by with limited resources on base, and she presses a kiss to the corner of his mouth in thanks.
Afterwards, while she's washing the dishes, he snakes his arms around her waist, and she leans her head back against his chest. "Mail came today," she says quietly.
He tries not to let his posture betray him, but she must have sensed his reaction, because she turns to face him. Her hands are still damp, soapy residue clinging to her palms, and it leaves streaks across his shirt.
"Who's it from?" he asks, keeping his voice steady.
"I didn't check." She shrugs, but he can see the truth of it in her eyes; what she already knows, even if she can't bring herself to confirm it.
He leaves her with a terse nod, feeling his muscles tense, his nerves on edge. The envelope is still sitting by the door, unopened, the weight of it familiar in his hands. He tears the edges, and slides open the piece of paper sitting inside.
He reads it twice, slowly, and slips it into his pocket.
Sam's standing in the doorway when he turns around, her hands clenched nervously at her sides. "Junk mail," he says, to her questioning look. "You should really do something about that."
"I'm not around enough to notice," she says. There's a kind of wary relief in her eyes, but she's still tense, guarded, and he goes to her, gathering her up. When she kisses him, she does it slowly, but he can taste the edge of desperation on her lips.
The rest of the dishes sit unwashed in the sink as he walks her backwards towards the bedroom, pulling her shirt up over her head, lifting her onto the bed. She pulls him down by his shirt, her fingers grasping at the fabric, at his skin, never leaving him. There's nothing deliberate in his movements as he undresses, lowering himself onto her, trying to forget everything except the way she feels around him.
Later, when her breathing is slow and even beside him, he curls against her back, his fingers splayed against her hip, and listens to all the sounds he shouldn't be able to hear. Feels the scratches on his back, healed and bloodless, but still aching. He gazes down at Sam, her eyelids fluttering in the darkness, and thinks about the letter recalling him to active duty sitting in his pocket.
He doesn't sleep.

Medicine Has a Major Image Problem
When you hear the word "monopoly," does it fill you with a warm and fuzzy feeling? (Unless you're Hasbro, you really should say no, unless you're a cyborg.) Healthcare is a monopoly. We can't DIY cancer treatment, or surgically repair a broken hip for ourselves, so we have to go to the medical-industrial complex to regain our health if we wander into the weeds, health-wise. We also have deep difficulty accessing pricing information.
I've talked about that here and in even more depth on the Cancer for Christmas blog over the last few years. This "chaos behind a veil of secrecy" (all credit for that phrase belongs to healthcare economist Uwe Reinhart) has created the impression in healthcare customers that there's no way to tell what something will cost before you buy it. You checks the box and takes yer chances. That's a rotten way to run a railroad (one of the original monopoly industries in modern history), and an even worse way to run a hospital.
Dan Munro wrote about this, and the star-chamber cabal that actually sets the prices in healthcare, the RUC, on Forbes.com yesterday. I've talked about the RUC myself. And the search for price transparency, which seemed such an outlier activity just a couple of years ago, is now popping up in the Well blog on the New York Times site, as well as on Reuters. The Reuters piece has the addition bonus of quotes from my buddy Jeanne Pinder, founder of ClearHealthCosts.com. (Yesterday was a big day in medical price transparency.) This is the central reason I registered the hashtag #howmuchisthat with Symplur, the healthcare hashtag registry.
We all have to start demanding that prices be visible, and that the RUC stop cabal-ing around with our lives and our wallets. As more and more people are finding themselves with high-deductible health insurance, asking how much things cost before you make a healthcare decision will become the norm. If a healthcare provider can't answer that question, s/he will find that s/he's seeing the patient panel sinking fast, along with practice revenue.
Get with it, medicine. Remake your image, and your brand, to be clear as glass and user-friendly. Outcome metrics along with pricing would be really nice, too.

Criminal Body by David Horn
Book DescriptionThis fascinating book traces the evolution of the "criminal body" by focusing on the work of Cesare Lombroso, an Italian physician and anthropologist, who is widely held to be the father of modern criminology. Building on Lombroso's concept of the "born criminal" and the idea that bodies could be used as evidence in criminal investigations, The Criminal Body offers an intriguing window into the origins of today's criminological science.

Thu Feb 23 2017 (Updated 02/24/17)Shortly After Shutdowns of College Speaking Events, Milo Shunned by His Own People
White nationalist Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak at UC Berkeley on the first day of Black history month in a building named after Martin Luther King, Jr. The event on February 1 was cancelled after a large protest erupted outside the Student Union where he was set to speak. Within weeks, a video surfaced in which Yiannopoulos spoke favorably of men having sex with boys and against the concept of consent. Now, Yiannopoulos is facing widespread backlash, leading to the cancellation of upcoming speaking gigs and the publication of his book. Yiannopoulos also resigned his position as an editor at Breitbart News.

Wed Feb 15 2017 (Updated 02/24/17)Civil Rights Groups Condemn New York City's Fordham University Ban on SJP
On January 26, Fordham University reaffirmed its ban on Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). In a letter to civil rights groups, Fordham stated its decision to ban SJP was made because the group had a "singular focus of which is the political agenda of one nation," "is more akin to a lobbying organization," and that SJPs on other campuses were "disruptive." Palestine Legal and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) wrote Fordham, stating the university "misconstrues the facts, misunderstands the law, and ignores Fordham's contractual obligations to respect students' freedom of expression."

A large coalition, including CrimethInc. Workers' Collective, is calling for a bold mobilization against the inauguration of Donald Trump. In addition to Washington D.C., protests will also be held in Oakland, San Francisco, San José, Palo Alto, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and communities throughout the so-called United States. A widely circulated call to action states, "On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as President of the United States. We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies."

Korean Port Truck workers have struck against deregulation and union busting by South Korea President Park Geun-hye. They were attacked, beaten, and the leaders were jailed by the government. Many union leaders including the president of the KCTU have been jailed by the government. Supporters of the Korean general strike against the government spoke out at the San Francisco South Korean consulate on November 30.
Sun Nov 13 2016History Teacher Suspended for Comparing Rise of Trump and Hitler
According to the Mountain View High School Oracle newspaper, MVHS principal David Grissom and other school administrators made the decision to put history teacher Frank Navarro on administrative leave. The leave was prompted by Navarro's alleged comments in class that made connections between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. "Whether or not he said this, it is dangerous and disgusting that the administration has decided to punish him for drawing parallels between two similarly dangerous moments in history," wrote MVHS alumnus Annie Ashmore in a petition to the principal.
On October 29, World Can't Wait San Francisco and friends took a stand against "Torture Professor" John Yoo and his handlers at UC Berkeley Law School. "Today we represent the views and the hearts of many more tens of millions of people who know that torture is a war crime, and a crime against humanity. International and UN law both prohibit torture, under any and all circumstances, without exception," read the protest flier. "Indict, Prosecute, Disbar... No More Torture in Our Name," chanted about 20 witnesses to university apologists.
Fri Nov 4 2016Anti-Fascist Yvette Falarca Returns to Teaching
Yvette Falarca of BAMN helped prevent the neo-Nazi rally on the steps of the capitol in Sacramento this summer — and was one of several people who were stabbed by the fascists. Following the action, threats were made against the school at which she teaches if she was not fired. The Berkeley Unified School District caved and suspended her. On November 1, Yvette announced victory in that she has been reinstated as a teacher at Martin Luther King Middle School, although there are still outstanding issues, including the district's refusal to restore back pay.
Wed Oct 19 2016Standing Up Against the Racist Police State by Taking a Knee
Since August 26, when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began to sit and then kneel during the playing of the national anthem to protest racist police violence, at least dozens of more Black people have been murdered by the police. What is also intensifying is that more and more athletes are taking a visible stand against police brutality. Students at the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) have been particularly vocal about their opposition to a lack of police accountability and the unfair treatment of Black and Brown people at the hands of law enforcement.
Mon Oct 10 2016White Supremacist Nathan Damigo Exposed
Nathan Damigo is a Social Studies major at CSU Stanislaus — and he's been building up a white supremacist group called Identity Evropa (IE) across Northern California. Identity Evropa focuses on recruitment by plastering college campuses with propaganda that promotes the creation of an all-white, fascist, authoritarian political power. On October 4, anti-fascists put up 300 posters at CSU Stanislaus detailing Damigo's hidden past as a convicted felon in a violent hate crime, as well as his involvement in a string of hate groups before attempting to rebrand himself with Identity Evropa.
Thu Sep 22 2016 (Updated 09/24/16)UC Berkeley Reinstates Course on Palestine Following Outcry
Thu Sep 22 2016 (Updated 09/24/16)Course Examining Palestine through Lens of Settler Colonialism Nearly Censored
University of California Berkeley (Cal) reinstated a student-led course on Palestine on September 19, following an outcry over its arbitrary suspension the previous week. The suspension, taken in apparent response to pressure from Israel advocacy groups, was widely condemned -- by students, professors, and observers -- as a violation of academic freedom, shocking, and unjustifiable. The organization Palestine Legal had sent a letter to Cal Chancellor Dirks on September 16 warning that the suspension infringed on First Amendment rights and principles of academic freedom.
When San Francisco Hillel sponsored the Mayor on a visit to San Francisco State University (SFSU) on April 6, a group of 20 student protesters stood on the sidelines inside the venue and chanted in protest of the Mayor's controversial policies towards Palestinians. Student protesters were accused of threatening Jewish students with violent and anti-Semitic messages. On September 1, SFSU released a report that concluded that the protest focused on the Mayor for the policies he promotes.

Wed Jul 27 2016 (Updated 07/29/16)Oakland Freedom Now Actions Include Lock Down at OPOA & OPD Headquarters, Children's March
A call went out for Freedom Now protests on July 21 targeting the support infrastructure for police oppression, especially police "unions" for their defense of cops accused of brutality. Lockdowns and demonstrations were held in cities across the country. In Oakland, the offices of the Oakland Police Officer's Association were shut down and an entrance to Oakland police headquarters was locked down. A Black Lives Matter educational event for children was held in Oscar Grant plaza, followed by a march down Broadway.

Mon Jun 20 2016 (Updated 06/22/16)Major State Repression in Oaxaca: Several Killed, Dozens Wounded and Detained
The looming federal police attack on the people and striking teachers of Oaxaca, Mexico has begun. There are reports of between six and eight demonstrators killed on the morning of Sunday, June 19 at the highway blockade in Nochixtlán, northwest of the city of Oaxaca. They were shot and killed when police opened fire with live ammunition on the blockade. At least 45 others have been hospitalized with injuries, the majority gunshot wounds, and 22 have been disappeared.
On May 31, students at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA voted overwhelmingly to endorse resolutions expressing support for freedom and equality for Palestinians and labor justice for migrant workers at Sakuma Bros farm in northern Washington. The three resolutions asked students to condemn the presence of Caterpillar Inc. equipment on campus, to de-shelve Sabra hummus, and prohibit the use of Sakuma Bros berries from campus dining services.

"Il Leccino": Delightful 1-bdr apt. in farmhouse.ItalyUmbriaTavernelle
About this listing
Very panoramic 1-bedroom apt. Wooden beams, original features, fully-furnished kitchen, a.c., wifi. Sofa bed in living room, can sleep up to 3 guests. Infinity pool, terraces, barbecue. Surrounded by nature, in an organic olive-oil producing estate. This Farmhouse, divided into 5 apartments, has a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the valley. Pool this year opens on the 1st of May!
The space
Umbria - central Italy, near border with Tuscany, close to Lake Trasimeno, beautiful hamlets and historic towns such as Perugia, Assisi, Città della Pieve, Pienza and Cortona. Delightful, fully equipped (including internet connection), elegantly furnished and totally air conditioned apartment in a 17th-century recently-restored stone farmhouse in the hills, on a large agricultural estate (organic olive oil production).
This apartment is called "Il Leccino", and is composed of a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower (and a few handles, as this apt. is also equipped for the disabled), a living room with single sofa bed and wood-burning stove, and a fully-equipped wooden kitchenette decorated with hand-painted tiles.
The apartment looks out onto a very characteristic terracotta courtyard on one side, and on the other it offers great views of the valley below and the surrounding hills.
There are terracotta panoramic terraces (one with large stone barbecue), equipped for eating outside, a fantastic infinity pool with sunbeds, outside shower, tables and umbrellas, a spacious common room with many books and tourist info, a free wireless internet connection and games and books for children.
In our property there are several trails for nature walks, jogging and trekking.
We offer a fun Italian cooking lesson with dinner in our common room, held by a young local chef.
The closest town (Tavernelle di Panicale) is 10 minutes away by car. Here you will find pizzerias, bakeries, supermarkets, shops, etc. There are delicious restaurants in the area serving typical Umbrian meals. The beaches and islands of Lake Trasimeno are 20 minutes away by car. In Tavernelle you will also find a tennis court and a great water park.
Guest access
Guests have access to the pool with its surrounding terrace with outside shower, sunbeds and umbrellas. POOLS ARE USUALLY OPEN from 1st of June to around the 15th of September, according to weather conditions and number of bookings. (But this year the pool is opening on 1st of May).
There is also another terrace with a large stone barbecue (wood provided). There are trails in the property for walking, trekking, mountain biking, There are books and an extra lounge for everyone to use in the large common room.
Interaction with guests
My sister Monica and her companion Ernesto, who manage the property, live on the estate, just a few minutes away by car. We meet our guests daily, when we pass by to see that everyone is happy at the farmhouse, and when we come daily to clean and maintain the pool. We will be happy to give you any information you may need or to help you book restaurants, or others.
The neighborhood
Upon booking we will send you our suggestions on nteresting places to visit, activities and our favourite restaurants in the area. We would certainly reccomend a visit to the beautiful hamlets that overlook Lake Trasimeno, such as Castiglione del Lago with its castle and Panicale; old, charming towns such as Città della Pieve; and famous art and cultural sites such as Assisi and Perugia. From the farmhouse you can easly visit the towns of Chiusi (Etruscan museum and stes), Montepulciano (famous for its wine production), Cortona and Pienza in Tuscany. There are two islands on Lake Trasimeno, one of them a nature reserve, and there is a bird reserve on the shores of the lake. Also, you may want to go wine tasting and visit some wine-producing estates, or buy local cheese produced from our neighbours. It is also possible to go truffle hunting (during the summer months) or taste a local meal at a summer fair. In your apartment you will find a list of local events (summer fairs, music festivals, theatre, concerts, etc.)
Getting around
We are in the countryside, so there is no local public transport. You must have a car to reach us, visit the area and go to the shops, that are about 10 minutes away by car. Lake Trasmeno is about 20 km away as are the towns Città della Pieve and Perugia. Assisi is about 45 minutes by car; Montepulciano and PIenza are an hour away. We have a parking lot, right near the farmhouse (free parking).

Your Host
I deal with the Marketing and Bookings of this family-run agricultural estate and "agriturismo" (rental of apartments in farmhouses) and I live in Rome. My sister Monica and her companion Ernesto live in Colle San Paolo and manage the farmhouses, and they will be assisting you during your stay. We produce extra virgin and organic olive oil on this beautiful property on the hills that overlook lake Trasimeno, in the Umbrian countryside. We have about 2.000 old olive trees (250 are more than 150 years old), and we have recently planted 500 new trees.
About 5 years ago we restored three 17th-century farmhouses, creating 9 apartments, 2 independent cottages and a villa. We have built two pools and several panoramic terracotta terraces around the farmhouses, and planted many flowers and flowering bushes in the gardens. The area is very interesting (mediaeval hamlets, historical towns, castles, Etruscan tombs and Museums, wine and cheese-producing estates, etc.), and there are quite a few delicious local restaurants - we will be pleased to give you all the information for touring the area and discovering this enchanting part of central Italy, between Umbria and Tuscany.

We were beginning to think that "The Hills" cameras would follow Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, and Kristin Cavallari until they were pushing their walkers into Joan's on Third, but it looks like the end is near.
And just when Heidi's own "hills" were starting to rival the size of the Hollywood Hills the show was named after!
MTV has announced that Season 6, which begins Tuesday, April 27 at 10 p.m. ET, will be the last. "We owe it to the fans, the cast, and the show to go out on a high note," says MTV's president of programming, Tony DiSanto. "This season will deliver on that goal in terms of drama, story, real emotion, and an organic culmination of this saga."
The final 12 episodes will feature Heidi revealing the results of her plastic surgery to her surprised mother, a scene that executive producer Liz Gateley calls "touching, but heartbreaking." Cameras will also follow the cast as they navigate possible substance abuse issues: Cavallari will face rumors of drug use after partying in Miami, and Stephanie Pratt will face the consequences of her DUI. Meanwhile, Audrina Patridge will date Ashlee Simpson's reality-show ex, Ryan Cabrera. They tease the possibility of a return from the original "Hills" ingenue, Lauren Conrad, but make no promises.
We're looking forward to finding out what Spencer Pratt's next move will be. Though he's currently on hiatus from filming the show to "deal with some stuff," according to creator Adam DiVello, "he'll be in most of the episodes." We're sure that he won't allow himself to be out of the spotlight for long.
It'd be pretty lame to admit that we're a little bit sad that the saga that began with "Laguna Beach" all those long years ago is coming to an end… so we won't admit it.

Rescuers searched the charred and tangled wreckage of China Airlines flight 140 for at least two missing people eight hours after the crash at Nagoya airport, some 160 miles west of Tokyo.
The cause of the crash was a mystery, an airport official said. He quoted air traffic controllers as saying the Airbus A300-600R appeared to attempt a landing after a flight from Taipei and then tried to take off again before touching the ground.
'The plane was coming in on a glide path but suddenly pulled up in a steep ascent,' a local resident told Japan's NHK television network. 'Then I saw the engines catch fire. It crashed and there was an explosion.'
Airport officials said a transcript of the plane's last radio contact showed the control tower had given the aircraft, code name Dynasty 140, permission to land when the pilot said: 'Nagoya tower, Dynasty going around.' The controller replied: 'Roger, stand by further instructions.' Thirty seconds later, the plane crashed.
Of the passengers, 158 were Japanese and 99 were of other nationalities. In Taipei, Yuan Hsing Yuan, President of China Airlines, told reporters that 63 of the passengers were Taiwanese. There was no immediate breakdown of other nationalities.
The survivors, all badly injured, were taken to hospital. Some 3,000 emergency workers took the dead to large tents erected at the airport as makeshift morgues as relatives of passengers crowded the airport terminal seeking information.
Beside the runway, rows of bodies lay under blankets as rescuers hacked through the tangled wreckage. The fuselage with its red, white and blue livery disintegrated, scattering debris over a wide area.
Airbus Industrie said the plane, delivered to China Airlines in 1991, was the first of that model to crash.
Nagoya airport officials said the dead included a baby girl. Television pictures showed two survivors in a hospital emergency room, a middle-aged man and a girl, both swathed in bandages.
The plane crashed at the south end of Nagoya's single runway, which is shared by civilian and military aircraft. The weather at the time was fine with little or no wind.
Hundreds of air force and civilian firefighters worked under lights with metal cutters and lifting gear to rescue the injured.
Last November, a China Airlines Boeing 747-400 skidded off a rain-soaked runway into Hong Kong harbour. No one was serious injured as the 296 passengers and crew scrambled to safety when the jet overshot the runway while landing during a storm.

When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
Industry leading transaction security
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Internationally recognised encryption and data storage
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Private network links to banks
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.

No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.

Skip to comments.Poll Results by States on Confederate Battle Flag in S.C
Posted on 04/21/2007 7:44:44 AM PDT by BnBlFlag
Well lets see
Who is one of our best allies in Iraq... Briton we had our first war with them, and a second to boot. What about one of our best allies in the Pacific heck they surprise attacked us and we nuked them.
Yes, we let go of wars over time!
The war over the right to fly the Confederate flag on the state capital grounds or states rights — as stated in Post 33 which prompted your response. (Damn, you're not gonna do that thing where you can't keep up with your own comments again, are you?)
"All the aggressive actions were on the part of the South."
I can only assume that you are referring to actually War Between the States rather than the hypothetical one — but who knows? "ALL" of the aggressive actions were on the part of the South? LOL! Even you know better than that.
With the strength of southern boys in the United States military I think the south is probably the military's best resource. Let's just work together to fight an even bigger threat to our country. The enemy is within our own government.
How do you figure that? The once solidly Democratic south is now solidly conservative Republican from the Ohio river to the gulf of Mexico, and from the Virginia coast to the AZ desert. Take away the former Confederate states and politically speaking the northeastern states would be just an extension of Canada.
But I am a little surprised by the size of the opposition in some of the western states. A large percentage of the original settlers in much of the west were southerners who were dispossessed of their homes and property by Yankee carpetbaggers and southern scalawags during the 15 year long era of vengeful Reconstruction tyranny enforced on white southerners by Yankee bayonets. If that fool Booth had not murdered Lincoln I believe the south would have fared much better after the war.
Replace it with the BONNIE BLUE FLAG!
Oh please.
Another Civil War?
Another? There was never a first 'civil war'. (look up the definition of 'civil war')
You scoff at the Confederate flag issue. "Remove it from the Capital grounds!", you scream. But that won't satisfy you libs. You'll want it banned from all public display because you see it as a devisive symbol, and to hell with the 1st Amendment (or any other amendment) when we're talking about offending a certain segment of the US population.
Actually it would be more like ESPN telling South Carolina what to do. Nowhere in this article is any suggestion that the federal government tell South Carolina to take the flag down. Unless I missed it somewhere.
ALL of the aggressive actions were on the part of the South? LOL! Even you know better than that.
Point out the aggressive acts on the part of the North for me.
Then why post banal comments? Or more important, why do I bother responding to your banal comments?
"Point out the aggressive acts on the part of the North for me."
Uh, how about almost every attack the north perpetrated upon the South? What, are you saying that sending troops to the South and attacking southerners were defensive moves?
Can't blame you for not wanting to be called a "damn yankee". I personally reserve that title for the ones who want to continue forcing their liberal views on the south.
It's called fighting the war that the other side started. Or are you saying that merely hanging on to your own property is an act of war?
Yeah. You're right. Can't argue with such astounding logic. Sending a ship to resupply a fort that no longer belongs to you certainly isn't an act of agression. Nope.
How about you call them what I call southern liberals like Al Gore, Bubba, Jimma Catah..... Damn Liberals..
Who said the fort no longer belonged to them? What rule of law will transfer ownership without the owners consent and without compensation?
Refusing to sit back and allow the South to steal whatever federal property they could get their mitts on is not an act of aggression.
Interestingly, CA and SC are exact opposites (63-37 and 37-63).
I really need to move to SC.
free dixie,sw
free dixie,sw
to BE a DAMNyankee you MUST:
1. BE one of the LOUD-mouthed,10-15% of northerners, who are truly south-HATERS,
2. BELIEVE that southerners & the south are INFERIOR to the north & northerners,
3. BELIEVE southern institutions are NATURALLY inferior to similar things/places "up there",
4.BE an UNthinking, sanctimonious BIGOT &
5. BE unwilling to learn the truth about the south & southerners.
as my grandfather used to say: "a DAMNyankee is a BIGOT & if they were NOT prejudiced against the southland, they would be some other sort of empty-headed BIGOT".
IF you would prefer NOT to be called a DAMNyankee, then don't think/act like one.
free dixie,sw
btw, "al BORE" is a SCALAWAG & is UNwelcome in "polite company" anywhere in dixie. DC is welcome to him.
free dixie,sw
the amendment would have made slavery PERMANENT & protected by the Constitution.
also, the WBTS was ONLY about FREEDOM for dixie. nothing more;nothing less.
free dixie,sw
He was a different Al Gore then. Prolife progun antigay good old boy. He did a complete 160 when he got the vice presidency. He is a deranged lunatic now.
thus, i conclude that the DYs who say that repeatedly, are either STUPID or intentionally LYING, like the BIGOTED, DIMocRAT, extremists that most DYs are.
as i said in #118, IF you don't want to be thought to be a DY, don't act/think like one.
free dixie,sw
Anyone who doesn't believe that the Battle Flag's placement in SC is NOT race related must be smoking some of Willie Nelson's stash, not that there's anything wrong with it...
Still waiting for the gays to adopt the confederate flag as their own.
we traditional southerners call that area "up there", "Yankee-occupied Virginia".

Mormons were against slavery, although they did not allow people of color into their church for several decades.

You are so full of it. The south didn't want the norths land. They just wanted to keep their own land from the hands of the north. It was all about the right to secede from the union. The north didn't care about slavery. They needed our cotton and tobacco. Of course that fact stopped being taught years ago when history was rewrote.
I don't always agree with you, watie, but darned if you didn't hit the nail on the head with this description!
On the contrary.
The "Southern Strategy" revitalized the GOP and led to its many victories from 1968 on.
as i frequently say to my beloved, "You have to be patient with me. God isn't though with me yet." my faults are LEGION, but i'm 100% right about DAMNyankee BIGOTS; they are ARROGANT,UNthinking, south-HATERS, who are NO BETTER than racists.
free dixie,sw
You are still here? I thought Mr. Robinson got rid of all the liberal Rudy pukes. How'd he miss you?
However, any state would have been able to end slavery on its own. As Lincoln said in his first inaugural, the Corwin amendment only made explicit the idea that slavery was a state matter implicit in the Constitution ("holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable."). What made the Corwin amemdment acceptable and the Crittenden compromise unacceptable is that the latter also guaranteed slavery in the territories. But just to understand your position better, are you saying that slavery WAS a matter for the federal government over the states, or do you agree with Lincoln's position?
So, are we going to hear from your friend about that Yankees burning the Alexandria synagogue? I can't wait to forward the information to the congregation and tell them that they have their own history wrong.
me thinks. Miss Kathy that you are a little
tizzy from your afternoon kickapoo
"Who said the fort no longer belonged to them?"
SC and the Confereracy.
"What rule of law will transfer ownership without the owners consent and without compensation?"
The same one that allowed the U.S. to keep everything in the colonies after they took it from Great Britain. But I suppose you would argue that we should give that back, too.
"Refusing to sit back and allow the South to steal whatever federal property they could get their mitts on is not an act of aggression."
I agree. The South did not steal it, they assumed possession. (See above.)
One mildly humorous reply in response to massive insult by stand, and I get all kinds of ridicule and name calling by the big thinkers.
In other words, beating the other side in a war. For the record, Britain ceded all it's holdings in the United States in the Treaty of Paris, so there was a legal basis there.
"Article 1: His Brittanic Majesty ... relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.
Article 7: ... his Brittanic Majesty shall with all convenient speed, and without causing any destruction, or carrying away any Negroes or other property of the American inhabitants, withdraw all his armies, garrisons, and fleets from the said United States, and from every post, place, and harbor within the same;
No rule of law, huh? I thought not.
The same one that allowed the U.S. to keep everything in the colonies after they took it from Great Britain. But I suppose you would argue that we should give that back, too.
That was called the Treaty of Paris, agreed to by both sides. The proper term for what the South did was grand theft.
I agree. The South did not steal it, they assumed possession. (See above.)
So if I get mugged in the near future, the mugger is not stealing my wallet and watch but merely assuming posession?
Change 'North' to 'South' and you've just described yourself down to a tee.
Then why did they steal every piece of federal property they could get their hands on?
I don't see how anybody can have issue with the mutual respect you describe. I've got no use for the CSA or the politicians who manipulated its birth, but I consider the reb soldiers to generally be honorable fellows. I just think they were unable to see that their true adversaries were their Southern "betters" who ran the Confederate show in Dixie for their own narrow interest.
Thank you, tweetie pie
"In other words, beating the other side in a war."
Ahhhhh . . . so if the South had WON the war it would have been legal. Got it. Never knew the rule of law was so simple.
"So if I get mugged in the near future, the mugger is not stealing my wallet and watch but merely assuming posession?"
Well, let's say we were neighbors and I was letting you use my lawnmower but we had a falling out. Yet one day you come over to take the mower because I had let you use it before, and I stopped you. You may call that a mugging but I would call it protecting my property. But of course I use common sense. You would use something other than common sense and I would attack you. Then you would whine about how we had an agreement — unless you were dead.
you've PERMANENTLY ruined YOURSELF & nothing that you post is BELIEVED by anybody here, with the possible exception of "The STUPID Club"; the club members will believe ANYTHING.
