The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 50
This article appeared at Townhall.com on November 13, 2002
OK, the Republicans won. Now what?
There will be a period of time during which GOP leaders study last Tuesdays election when the Republicans added seats to their majority in the House and took over the majority in the U.S. Senate. Now, President Bush can establish the Department of Homeland Security and move federal judge nominees through the confirmation process.
The Left had their day, and they sure made the most of it. Consider everything that has happened since the 1970s as just more frosting on the Liberals cake they achieved all their missions, and now their mission has become the maintenance of the status quo. But even without a majority in Congress, they are not in bad shape when you consider they still control the powerful and influential mainstream media and academia.
Is it enough for Republicans to smartly manage an unaccountable, ever growing bureaucracy? Is it sufficient to do that which the federal government is supposed to do anyway to defend our shores from attack? What happens when victory is achieved? Do we then go back to our steady march toward Socialism, or is there more to being a conservative Republican than fighting and winning a war?
We all know that this is a golden opportunity for change, but there seems to be no foundation for a shining city on a hill, no clear vision for what we can achieve.
Republicans have rarely held on to power for very long. Recent history only confirms this. In 1994, the Republicans took the House and Senate, but Clinton had the White House and the veto power that comes with it. Newt Gingrich, a man of great vision, had achieved a great victory and became Speaker of the House. Republicans got much of their Contract with America programs passed, but made significant compromises to get those through and in the end, there was no son-of-Contract with America to inspire voters. Thus, the power was lost.
They achieved power again just last year only to have it slip away in a few short weeks when a turncoat liberal senator switched sides and wrongfully gave the power back to Democrats.
This time is appears that we will have the power for a while. We all know political change will come, but isnt there some way we can hold on to power long enough to get the kinds of changes the majority of Americans want?
There always exists inside the conservative movement those who have a vision for a freer America, a more civil society, and a better educated population. They know how to smart-size government. They know how and when to cut taxes. They can solve most of our crime problems. And they do not accept the lame excuses that have been used in the past by bleeding heart Liberals to explain the reasons for decaying inner cities, teenage pregnancy, fatherless children, and destructive illegal drug usage.
There are those who will never accept the constant stream of sewage we call todays primetime television, where men openly urinate in front of cameras on network TV, and depictions of bizarre and incredibly violent bloodletting have become usual fare for millions of innocent children left to fend for themselves each evening. Their parents return home late because both have to work just to pay the unrelenting taxes, endless fees, permits, licenses, or union association dues. A lot of us understand families are under heavy financial attack, and now we have a chance to come to their aid. Lets not fail them.
There are great thinkers who have a vision of not only a kinder and gentler America, but also a stronger America that no longer takes constant grief or threats in the name of accommodations to tin-horn dictators. There are those who agree with President Bush that terrorists must be eliminated before they can migrate to our shores. Lets elevate these thinkers to positions of influence and power, and the sooner the better.
The special forces who engineered this amazing GOP opportunity need to be praised and rewarded, but then they may need to step aside and allow the second wave to move into positions of power. Those who can push against an enemy the front-line warriors are sometimes poor choices to effectively move to the next phase. Some of our friends will have little to do if they cant attack Liberals in power, but I believe we need fresh faces and new ideas if we are to maintain the majority.
Its going to be harder to implement the positive visions for a greater America, and its going to take different tactics, different approaches. The president should guard against letting loyalty to good generals cloud the reality that good generals often make poor policy wonks.
But political warriors who find their usefulness parked for a while should take heart the Left will make a come-back, they always do. Out of power now, the Dems will act as termites, daily chewing on President Bushs achievements. And possessing the means (media and academia) to undermine Bushs reputation, you know they will return.
Many believe its time to take back some territory lost to Liberals. Many show disgust with the status quo and have sufficient reason to be, but positive change will never happen unless men and women who have a vision for a greater America are invited to the table and given positions of influence.
And without positive change engineered by Republicans, the power will be lost once again. There is a war to be waged against a cancer thats rotting our cities. The good people who live there are tired of burying their young dead men and trying to raise fatherless children on dangerous streets.
The Republicans can win that war too. We must stop ceding our problems to the Liberals when in our hearts we know they simply dont know what theyre doing.

Ebola outbreak: West Africans back lifting travel bans
West African health ministers have called for travel restrictions imposed to combat Ebola to be lifted.
The ministers followed advice from the World Health Organization (WHO) which said that the restrictions create food and supply shortages and harm efforts to contain the deadly virus.
The WHO says the West Africa outbreak could infect more than 20,000 people.
It has already killed more than 1,500 of the 3,000 people infected in four countries.
The WHO said it was important that airlines resume "vital" flights across the region, because travel bans were threatening efforts to beat the epidemic.
"This is not a West African issue or an African issue. This is a global health security issue," WHO's Assistant Director-General Bruce Aylward told reporters in Geneva.
It recommends that countries affected by Ebola should conduct exit screening amid concerns that the virus could spread to 10 further countries beyond the four now affected.
The number of deaths from Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria now stands at 1,552.
At the scene: Tamasin Ford, BBC News, Ivory Coast-Guinea border:
"Scared" seems to be the word people living along the Liberian and Guinean borders are using every day now.
Fatoumata Kone explains how they have stopped eating bushmeat.
They no longer shake hands and even refrain from having sex - anything to stop Ebola from taking a hold of their precious community.
"I'm afraid of death, because it is not a trip that you can return from," she says.
How Ivory Coast is trying to halt Ebola
Announcing an action plan by the WHO to deal with the outbreak, Dr Aylward said "the actual number of cases may be 2-4 fold higher than that currently reported" in some urban areas.
The plan calls for $489 million (£295m) to be spent over the next nine months and requires 750 international workers and 12,000 national workers across West Africa.
On Thursday, Nigeria confirmed its first Ebola death outside Lagos, with an infected doctor in the oil hub of Port Harcourt dying from the disease.
Operations have not yet been affected in Africa's biggest oil producer, but a spokesman for Shell's Nigerian subsidiary said they were "monitoring the Ebola outbreak very closely".
The health ministers from across West Africa attended an extraordinary meeting of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) in Ghana's capital Accra to discuss how to prevent the virus from spreading.
"Excessive restrictions of travel and border closures will adversely affect the economies of the sub-region," said Ecowas chairman and Ghana's President John Mahama.
West African countries, including regional hubs Ivory Coast and Senegal, have banned all travel to and from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, while several airlines have stopped flights.
We earlier reported that the health ministers had lifted the travel bans in the region but this is not the case.
Earlier Mr Aylward insisted bans on travel and trade would not stop the spread of Ebola, saying they were "more likely to compromise the ability to respond".
Despite rumours to the contrary, the virus is not airborne and is spread by humans coming into contact with bodily fluids, such as sweat and blood, from those infected with virus.
Meanwhile, the British medical charity Wellcome Trust and pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) said safety trials on an experimental Ebola vaccine are being fast-tracked.
GSK says it plans to build up a stockpile of up to 10,000 doses for emergency deployment if results from the trials, which could begin as soon as next month, are good.
Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)
- Symptoms include high fever, bleeding and central nervous system damage
- Spread by body fluids, such as blood and saliva
- Fatality rate can reach 90% - but current outbreak has mortality rate of about 55%
- Incubation period is two to 21 days
- There is no vaccine or cure
- Supportive care such as rehydrating patients who have diarrhoea and vomiting can help recovery
- Fruit bats, a delicacy for some West Africans, are considered to be virus's natural host

Pios, Tigers, Falcons post big wins
Scribling tonight from Air Force, which is flying high after trailing 2-0 to Mercyhurst early. The Falcons, who rallied to win 6-2, are nothing if not unpredictable. Good Falcons, bad Falcons. They lost 4-0 last weekend to previously winless Bentley, and Friday they lost 5-3 (with an empty netter) to the previously winless Lakers.
Splitting to Bentley and Mercyhurst will not get Air Force in the regular-season rankings for the first time in its history. But I see potential, and still think the Falcons will will again have the chance to represent the AHA in the NCAA Tournament.
Moving on … Really pleased to see DU and CC post HUGE wins Friday and Saturday in Minneapolis and Grand Forks, respectively.
The Tigers' split is undoubtedly a "good" split (always is on the road, and we're talking North Dakota here, so that's a bonus). I was getting a little worried about the Tigers, losing three straight and all, but they're 3-3 against visiting Minny, at UNH and at NoDak, and that's not bad. Outside of Miami, I doubt any team in the country would mind being 3-3 after that stretch.
We'll see if the Pios can sweep at 'Sota Sunday. I was scheduled to go on that trip before Rocktober killed our travel budget, and I would have loved to see Gopher Nation heading home early in DU's big 5-1 win Friday, but we should have a good series wrapup story in Monday's paper from John Gilbert, a former Gopher beat writer for the Star Tribune.
Bottom line: This STILL is going to be a great season for Front Range NCAA hockey. — MC

RICHMOND, Va. – Junior Joe Van Meter (Oyster Bay, N.Y.) hit his first home run of the season, but that was one of the few bright spots for Virginia Commonwealth University in a 19-4 loss to Western Kentucky Friday at The Diamond.
The Rams have dropped five straight to slip to 9-8 overall. The Hilltoppers are 14-5 this year.
VCU struck first against WKU starting pitcher Matt Ridings. Junior John Lenherr (Windom, Kan.) singled with one out, and Van Meter followed with an opposite field shot to right to provide the Rams with a 2-0 lead. However, that would be all the offense VCU could muster against Ridings, who scattered four hits and struck out three in six innings of work. He improved to 4-0.
The Hilltoppers broke open a 2-2 game in the top of the fifth when they touched up two VCU hurlers for seven runs. WKU added seven more in the sixth and three more in the seventh on the way to a blowout victory.
Kes Carter was 4-for-6 and Matt Payton drove in four runs for Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers also smacked three home runs during their 18-hit barrage.
VCU freshman Blake Hauser (Chesterfield, Va.) allowed eight runs, seven earned, and six hits in four and two-thirds innings of work. Hauser issued a season-high six walks in the contest and struck out one. He is 2-1.
Senior Matt Leskiw (Plains, Pa.) went 2-for-4 for the Rams.
The Rams and Hilltoppers return for game two of their three-game set on Saturday, March 20 at 3 p.m. at The Diamond.

Committee Opinion Number 695, April 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 371, July 2007)
ABSTRACT: Sterilization is the most common method of contraception among married couples, with nearly twice as many couples choosing female partner sterilization over male sterilization. Although sterilization is among the most straightforward surgical procedures an obstetrician–gynecologist performs, it is enormously complex when considered from a historical, sociological, or ethical perspective. Sterilization practices have embodied a problematic tension, in which some women who desired fertility were sterilized without their knowledge or consent, and other women who wanted sterilization to...
Committee Opinion Number 385, November 2007
Reaffirmed 2019
ABSTRACT: Health care providers occasionally may find that providing indicated, even standard, care would present for them a personal moral problem—a conflict of conscience—particularly in the field of reproductive medicine. Although respect for conscience is important, conscientious refusals should be limited if they constitute an imposition of religious or moral beliefs on patients, negatively affect a patient's health, are based on scientific misinformation, or create or reinforce racial or socioeconomic inequalities. Conscientious refusals that conflict with patient well-being should be a...

Why should I choose FS.COM compatible direct attach cables? By Guo on 07/23/2018
Besides the price advantage we have compared to branded cables, FS.COM DACs also maintain the same performance and reliability. To satisfy our customers` needs of high performance, all of our DACs are tested multiple times in mainstream original brand switches in our test center before shipped out. What`s more, using compatible optics in brand devices will not negatively affect manufacturers` warranty if that`s your concern. By FS on 07/23/2018
What makes 25G a logical speed choice for migration of next generation server and storage? By Val on 07/18/2018
There are two major advantages of 25G technology. First, by offering a single-lane 25Gbps variant, 25G allows for optimization of the bandwidth available from switch-fabric design, which is typically viewed from a per-pin and therefore per-lane standpoint. And the other major advantage is it takes existing module form factors and optical plants factors, such as SFP28 and QSFP28, and allows for a breakout connection that is configurable as either 25G per lane or the full 100G without changing the port on the front of switches and the wholes physical infrastructure. By FS on 07/18/2018
What kinds of custom choices are offered in FS.COM? By Glasscock on 07/15/2018
As for customized direct attach cables, FS.COM offers regular custom choices such as compatibility, cable length, cable color, operating temperature, label pattern, label colors and etc. What`s more, FS.COM welcomes any inquiry for customized products and solutions for all need and specifications. By FS on 07/15/2018
Your opinion matters to us. We'll review and use it to improve the FS website for future visits.

Lambert still the man for Lerner despite Villa's freefall
ASTON Villa manager Paul Lambert retains the full support of club owner Randy Lerner despite his side dropping into the Barclays Premier League relegation zone, Press Association Sport understands.
Villa fell into the bottom three for the second time this season after Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Southampton and have collected only one point from the last five games.
But weekend speculation that Lambert's job is under threat is regarded as "just total nonsense" by sources close to the midlands club.
Lerner and chief executive Paul Faulkner recognise the importance for stability and continuity at this juncture rather than another change of manager after the sacking of Alex McLeish last summer.
It is believed that Lambert's position has not even been an issue for discussion and Lerner recognises it is a long term project to rebuild Villa.
He also is mindful of the potential of Lambert who twice led Norwich to promotion and established them in the Barclays Premier League last season before moving to Villa in the summer.
Villa have suffered some miserable results in recent weeks, most notably an 8-0 drubbing at Chelsea and a 3-1 setback at League Two side Bradford in the Capital One Cup.
But Lerner has also seen green shoots of encouragement such as the wins at Manchester City and Norwich in the Capital One Cup and the 3-1 league triumph over Liverpool at Anfield.
The American is also willing to back Lambert during January although funds will be limited compared to some of the big spending carried

This is a beautiful bright fuchsia pink flower/sunflower wreath/door hanger and it is the perfect accent to your home all year! It's even amazing in winter! It is made of bright fuchsia burlap with a burlap woven center and green burlap leaves to accent it.
Want it in a different size? See the listings below:
Original Large 25″ Diameter
Extra Large 30″ Diameter
Don't see the size you need? Send me a message! I love custom orders!
This beauty is made from a high quality bright fuchsia and green burlap fabric and a burlap ribbon center. At its widest point it is approximately 12 inches by 12 inches. See the additional photos to see the exact colors of the burlap used up close for matching and styling. This wreath is now customizable! The first photo depicts it as it looks with emerald option, but you can select from five different shades of green burlap for the leaves to make this wreath all your own! New color options for the flower center are now here! Please see the photo of options and indicate what center color you would like at checkout – the wreath pictured has a cream center.
Please do not hang this wreath in direct sunlight as the bright colors in the burlap will fade in the sun. It is made out of burlap fabric that will not hold it's structure if exposed to water. I recommend hanging the wreath under a well-covered porch, inside a storm door, or under an overhang to protect it from the elements and prolong the life of the wreath. I spray all of my wreaths with a UV Protection Spray to help slow this process, but hanging it directly in the elements will cause the colors to fade faster.
Please message me if you have any questions!
Thanks for shopping!

If your tweet contains two words that are separated by a dot (or period), Twitter may sometimes interpret that combination as a web address and will auto-convert the words into a clickable hyperlink wrapped inside a t.co URL.
Similarly, if you add the "@" symbol before any word in a tweet, Twitter may see that as a mention and will automatically link that word to a Twitter profile. And words starting with the # hash sign are converted into links pointing to search results as well.
These auto-generated links are useful in most cases but sometimes you may just want twitter to display your tweets in plain text and not convert words into links. For instance, see this tweet:
#trick @labnol.org vs @?http://t.co/RSrGNrq8pg— Amit Agarwal (@labnol) February 28, 2014
It includes the same text (labnol.org) twice but in the first case, Twitter is pointing to a website and in the other case, it's pointing to a Twitter profile.
If you would like to prevent Twitter from interpreting two consecutive words as a URL, just add a zero width space after the dot. Similarly, if you would not like Twitter to auto-convert @mentions or #tags into hyperlinks, add a zero width space after the @ or # symbol respectively.
How to Insert Zero Width Space in Tweets
The HTML code for zero width space is  but you cannot add HTML codes directly inside Twitter so here's a simple workaround.
Enter text:
Enter some text in the input box above and it will automatically add zero width space after every dot, #hash or @mention. You can then copy-paste the converted text into you Twitter and none of the words will ever get converted into hyperlinks.

I was sitting in my car one crisp winter morning the first week of December. I was about to head inside the gym to work off some dessert calories when my phone rang. It was someone with information I would be interested in for my upcoming Hybrid Scrapbooking class, and it totally made my day. The news I am talking about is not just that BasicGrey was about to announce a new website design, but something bigger – something that has a lot of people talking:
BasicGrey has gone digital.
The website is not yet complete (there will be a gallery and more to come at some future time) so I won't attempt to review the site as a whole at this time. Instead, I'll stick to the big, exciting, available now news that BasicGrey has digital scrapbook products.
I understand that some retailers could be concerned about the effect digital products might have – that consumers might just "go digital" and skip them all together. While I understand the initial concern, I don't believe there is any reason for alarm here. I know I speak for many when I say that nothing will ever kick paper out of my scrapbooking. I enjoy the textures and hands-on approach to crafting too much! Secondly, and more importantly, BasicGrey is releasing only their older lines in digital form. I was told that the plan is to continue this down the road. They will release their paper lines to retailers as they always have, and then at some later date they will become available in digital form.
This should give retailers a good run with the paper products, but it also gives us as consumers the knowledge that BasicGrey product has a longer life in our stash, and that if a favorite line is discontinued or hard to find we can purchase items in digital form.
BasicGrey gets a big thumbs up from me for their debut digital offerings and approach. Sande Krieger, a longtime favorite product designer of mine (both in digital and in paper) is now working exclusively with BasicGrey, and I see that as a very good thing for both their future digital products as well as their paper lines.
Ordering off of the new digital site was easy and not only are the products the best quality, but the pricing is reasonable as well. They are offering everything from brushes to page kits to blog backgrounds – and this hybrid scrapbooker is happy with what she sees. Many of the brushes and elements can be easily utilized with newer lines, or other digital brands, and will make for great additions to any digital or hybrid scrapbooker's stash.
supplies: BasicGrey digital textures and Urban Couture starter kit; BasicGrey Origins patterned paper, clip, flowers, and canvas tag; BasicGrey Sugared collection alphabet stickers, Maya Road Envelope, unknown lace and thread
In the layout above I used the texture .png files along with the Urban Couture digital papers to create the papers framing the left side of my photo. I also added in a black flourish and the border accent along the bottom before printing out on white cardstock. Then I paired it with some of my Origins stash and a few random bits and pieces.
There are a lot of products to explore – and I'm enjoying every creative moment. Above is a peek at a BasicGrey digital page template that I'm playing with right now as a part of my Hybrid Scrapbooking class at Big Picture. I look forward to what will be released next – both digital and paper – from this long time favorite company.

Maroon 5 lead singer and "The Voice" coach Adam Levine was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive on Tuesday night.
The announcement will no doubt provide Levine's fellow "Voice" mentor Blake Shelton with plenty of ammunition for friendly ribbing over the coming weeks on the hit reality singing competition. The reveal happened during the show's Tuesday broadcast, when host Carson Daly informed him of the big news.
Levine's reaction?
"I feel sexy," he said from his big red coaching chair.
Levine had been asked about the rumors he would be named Sexiest on Friday's "Today" show but had played coy, initially telling host Savannah Guthrie he didn't believe her when she raised the subject that had the Internet abuzz. "I know nothing," was all the "Moves Like Jagger" singer would say.
It's not the first time he has been featured in the annual celebration of men in pop culture, but it's Levine's first appointment to the top spot. He follows last year's honoree Channing Tatum.
Along with Tatum, Levine – who was born in Los Angeles and recently got engaged to Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo – joins a list of recipients that includes Bradley Cooper (2011), Hugh Jackman (2008), George Clooney (2006), Johnny Depp (2001), Harrison Ford (2008), Denzel Washington (1996), Brad Pitt (1995), Sean Connery (1989) and Mel Gibson (1985).
Levine, 34, has been awarded three Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music Awards and two American Music Awards. Maroon 5 has released four studio albums, all of which reached platinum status in the U.S., and the group has sold more than 27 million albums worldwide.
Though busy with his Maroon 5 work and "Voice" duties (his charge Javier Colon won Season 1), Levine has also found the time to act (he's had roles in "American Horror Story" and "Can a Song Save Your Life?"), release a fashion collection for Kmart and create eponymous fragrances for men and women.
For his fashion line, Levine – who is a yoga devotee and never shy when it comes to exposing his tattooed and muscled physique – takes inspiration from his own wardrobe (think tailored rocker) and says of the collection, "I'm not making a pretentious fashion statement, but you have to put something on, and I'm not wearing a fig leaf."
Fans of the latest Sexiest Man Alive need not fear he will stay covered up, though. "I spend most of my life naked. In fact, I often have to be told by the people around me that it's inappropriate to be as naked as I am," he told Cosmopolitan (UK) in 2011. "But I live in California, where it's always warm, so why not?"

Sunday's show: One good deed begets another
[media-credit id=263 align="aligncenter" width="495″][/media-credit]
In a very nice twist on "pay it forward," six Denver-area residents who met on Thanksgiving Day while volunteering at the annual community feast hosted by Rosa Linda's Cafe have joined forces to present a holiday fashion show and toy drive for the abused, neglected and at-risk children served by Tennyson Center.
The event begins at 4 p.m. Sunday at Paxia Alta Cocina Mexican Restaurant, 4001 Tejon St. The organizers are Gabriela Martinez of Gabriela Designs; Michelann "Micaela" Cordero, chief executive officer at MC Bilingual Business Development; Cedric Pride, CEO of Cedric Pride Entertainment; Deb Tasayco, CEO of SBO Mix & Mingle; Lidia Ortiz, a marketing consultant and real estate investor; and Ana Varela-Astacio, whose former husband, Pedro Astacio, had played for the Colorado Rockies.
Greg Nieto of KWGN and Milton Roman of Hablemos Hoy, a talk show on 1150AM, will be the masters of ceremony, introducing a show of holiday fashions from Gabriela Martinez. Francis D. Roces of Kimono Dragon and Katharine Salzgeber of Boutique de Bijoux also will take part.
And, there will be live music, drink specials and photos with Santa.
Admission is free, although guests are asked to bring an unwrapped toy or to contribute $10 at the door. Text donations also are welcome: CHILD, at 55355.
"We met at Rosa Linda's, and hatched the idea to create and host our own Christmas charity event for the children at Tennyson Center," Cordero recalls. "Just three weeks later, hundreds of toys and cash donations have already come in, and Gabriela Martinez received a call from Beautiful Distractions modeling agency in Colorado Springs, offering to donate 12 of their top runway models — plus a stylist and photographer — in exchange for the privilege of modeling Gabriela's new holiday collection."
Tennyson Center has been in operation since 1904 and is the Rocky Mountain region's leading treatment center and school for abused, neglected and at risk kids in grades kindergarten through 12. It is located in northwest Denver, at 2950 Tennyson St.

WearLink Transmitter MaintenanceSaturday, August 25th, 2007
Detach the transmitter connector from the strap and rinse both under running water after every use. Dry the connector with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material (steel, wool or cleaning chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at lest after every fifth use. This ensures reliable measurement and maximizes the life span of the transmitter. Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never put the transmitter connector in the washing machine or drier!
Dry and store the strap and the transmitter connector separately. Wash the strap in a washing machine before long-term storage, and always after use in pool water with high chlorine content.
Dirt impairs the elasticity and functioning of the transmitter.
Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated. This will shorten the battery life.
If the snaps are often left moist, the resulting oxidation could hinder the functioning of the transmitter.

Group hopes it can right the Amistad
Mystic - A dozen years ago the recreation of the Amistad was launched at Mystic Seaport to great fanfare.
The schooner, which tells an inspiring story of freedom and interracial cooperation, made its official debut at OpSail 2000 in New York Harbor and then began annual tours of ports across the country, attracting large crowds wherever it went.
In the spring of 2010, its parent organization, New Haven-based Amistad America, took the schooner to Cuba, where the story of the original ship began in 1839.
Since then, it's been rough sailing.
During its transit back to Connecticut, the hardware attached to the bowsprit was damaged, requiring an estimated $100,000 in repairs. The damage caused the ship to lose its Coast Guard license to carry passengers and forced the cancellation of a lucrative fundraising trip to the Great Lakes. This came at a time when interest in the ship, coming off the Cuba visit, was at an all-time high.
Since then, the ship, which has received more than $6.4 million in state funding, has remained at Mystic Seaport, where it was built.
There were no trips last year as Amistad America tried to find the money to do the repairs and then restructured its $280,000 debt with TD Bank, which had filed a lien against the nonprofit organization.
"There were times last year when I was deeply concerned if we could get through the next two months," admitted Amistad America CEO Greg Belanger in an interview last week.
But Belanger said 2011 was a blessing in disguise for the organization, offering an opportunity to "rethink and retool" the programs and business plan to ensure the revenue needed to continue operating. He said visitors who came aboard the ship while it was docked at Mystic Seaport all year provided important feedback about its educational programs and marketing efforts.
Belanger said Amistad America has money left over from last year's budget that it can use to start this year's programs and remaining state bonding funds to pay for the repairs. He stressed, however, that the ship has to begin producing revenue this summer so operations can continue.
"We have the funding necessary to get the boat repaired and start our summer programs," he said. "We can't rely on the old forms of revenue, but we think we've come up with a formula.
"Will it be on a ongoing challenge? Of course. But we have a doable plan now," he added.
While there has been talk about groups interested in acquiring the ship, Belanger said he has never received an offer for it. Even if he had, he said, the ship is not for sale.
Mystic residents have always had a close connection with the ship as they watched it being built it in the Seaport shipyard and then pass through the drawbridge on its first sea trials. So when Amistad America decided to homeport the ship in New Haven, some here were not happy.
Winters in the Caribbean
The Amistad story began in 1839 when 53 Africans being transported along the coast of Cuba to begin a life of slavery took control of the ship, killing the captain and cook. The ship wandered up the East Coast before landing near Montauk on Long Island. They were captured there by the crew of a revenue cutter, brought to New London and then jailed in New Haven. Several trials followed.
With the aid of white abolitionists, the Africans won their freedom in 1841 when the U.S Supreme Court declared them free. The 35 Africans who survived returned to their homeland in 1842.
To keep telling that story, Belanger said, his organization decided it needed to have the boat earning revenue as many as 280 days a year, as opposed to the previous 160.
This means spending the winters in the Caribbean where Amistad can run educational programs and charge other organizations that want to use the boat. He said the fact that the boat has just eight passenger bunks hampers its revenue potential for overnight trips.
After the boat is repaired and passes its Coast Guard inspections, Belanger said, the plan is for the ship to spend the warm weather months operating between New Haven, New London and Mystic, running youth educational programs, day sails and short trips.
When the weather turns colder, Amistad will head south to its winter base in the Dominican Republic, where Belanger has secured a building to house its operations. Trips will be run through the winter to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
While Amistad America is securing grants to run some of its programs, Belanger said, the organization will also work closely with other organizations that have secured their own grants and then will pay for access to the boat and its educational programs.
Belanger said one program he is particularly excited about is funded by a U.S. State Department grant. Students from New Haven will be spending time in the Dominican Republic this winter learning about sustainable farming and other issues. This summer those students will work as peer instructors aboard Amistad as it operates in Long Island Sound. Next winter, a small group of them will work aboard the ship in the Caribbean.
Belanger said he is also working on getting permission for the ship to make return visits to Cuba.
Belanger said Amistad America used to be able to string together a trip to eight cities, each of which would pay $40,000 to $50,000 for the visit.
"But those days are gone. Cities don't have the discretionary income to have tall ships visits anymore. I can understand that. Do they want to pay their teachers or have a tall ship visit? So we can't depend on that model anymore," he said.
But Belanger said such occasional visits will continue to be a part of what Amistad does. He said he is negotiating with a southern city that would like Amistad to be part of a War of 1812 celebration this summer.
With the state of Connecticut facing large budget deficits, Belanger said Amistad America also can no longer depend on receiving any state funding.
"We have to learn to live without it. Our goal is to be self-sufficient," he said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Military officials say a Humvee carrying six Navy SEALs and two other sailors overturned during a training exercise at Fort Knox in Kentucky, killing one of the SEALs and injuring the others on board.
Lt. David Lloyd, a spokesman for the Naval Special Warfare Group Two in Virginia Beach, Va., says the Humvee was part of a convoy on the post when it overturned Wednesday night. What caused it to flip remains under investigation.
The Navy says the SEAL who died was Special Warfare Operator Third Class Jonathan H. Kaloust, who was based in Virginia. He was from Massapequa, N.Y.
Lloyd says the seven survivors were treated for minor injuries and released from a hospital.
The sailors had been conducting tactical training, but Lloyd would not release further details about the exercise because it was considered sensitive.

MDS, a blood cancer, strikes nearly five times more Americans than previously thought
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) - a group of serious blood cancers - are nearly five times more common in seniors than previously thought, according to a new study by researchers from the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. The study also showed for the first time that MDS patients are at much higher risk for heart attack, diabetes and other serious complications than other seniors, and that their health care costs are far higher. The study is published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"This study demonstrates that MDS is a very common blood cancer of the elderly, and that those who have it are at high risk of dying prematurely from other causes," says lead author Stuart L. Goldberg, M.D., a hematologist/oncologist who is Chief of the Division of Leukemia, John Theurer Cancer Center. "This has implications for how the disease is treated and will hopefully spur additional research."
Myelodysplastic syndromes, which occur primarily in people age 60 and above, are a group of diseases in which the bone marrow does not make enough healthy blood cells. Patients with MDS are more prone to infection, anemia and bleeding and often report extreme fatigue and other debilitating symptoms. The most common treatment for MDS is blood transfusion, but four new medications to treat the disease and its complications have come to the market in the last four years. MDS is diagnosed through blood and bone marrow tests.
"Dr. Goldberg's study highlights the breadth of work we are completing at the John Theurer Cancer Center where we are committed to improving patient care through advancing research," said Andrew L. Pecora, M.D., F.A.C.P., C.P.E., Chairman and Executive Administrative Director, John Theurer Cancer Center. "We are pleased to take a leading role in this milestone study for the MDS community."
MDS was not reportable as a cancer until 2001, when the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began requiring that all tumor registries report cases to the Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology & End Results (SEER) program. The SEER database reported 10,300 newly diagnosed MDS patients in 2003, with a three-year survival rate of just 35 percent.
To conduct a "head-to-head" study, Dr. Goldberg and colleagues analyzed claims data for Medicare beneficiaries age 65+ for 2003. What they found was alarming: an estimated 45,000 new cases of MDS.
The gap in estimates can be explained by differing data sources: Medicare data are submitted by both physicians in private practice as well as hospital-based physicians, while SEER data come strictly from tumor registries, which are primarily found in hospitals.
"MDS is generally treated by hematologists and primary care physicians in private practice, and elderly patients with MDS are frequently not seen at a hospital-based cancer center until their disease progresses," says Dr. Goldberg. "So most cases are not being reported to NCI. As we found in our study, many apparently die of other causes as their disease progresses."
The researchers found a much higher incidence of other serious illnesses among MDS patients than among American seniors as a whole. More than 73% of MDS patients experienced a heart attack within three years of diagnosis, while 54.5% of the general Medicare population did. The prevalence of other conditions was also higher, including: diabetes (40% for MDS patients, vs. 33.1% non-MDS); dyspnea, a type of shortness of breath (49.4% vs. 28.5%); liver disease (.8% vs. .2%); and sepsis, a serious blood infection (22.5% vs. 6.1%). MDS patients requiring blood transfusions had a higher incidence of these conditions than those who were not transfused.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) developed within three years in 9.6% of newly diagnosed MDS patients, and those who received transfusions progressed to AML at a rate of 24.6% (previous estimates were that 20-30% of MDS patients progressed to AML).
A much higher percentage of MDS patients died during the study period than those without MDS. The three-year survival rate for those with MDS was 60%, while it was 84.7% for the general Medicare population. The mortality rate for transfused MDS patients was higher than for those not transfused. The higher survival rates in this study compared to SEER were attributed to the higher percentage of early stage patients treated in communities compared to hospital-based tumor registries.
While the health consequences and scope of the disease found in the study were alarming, the cost of treating MDS also proved to be significant. In 2003, the median amount billed to Medicare for MDS was $16,181, compared to $1,575 for Medicare beneficiaries as a whole.
"As the U.S. population continues to age, MDS will become a more prominent medical problem with a significant impact on the health care system," says Dr. Goldberg.
Dr. Goldberg believes that this study will provide a baseline for additional research. "Since we now know the scope of the problem as it was before MDS medications became available, it will be interesting to see in future studies how new cancer treatments have impacted the disease. We also need to learn why MDS patients develop other conditions, such as heart failure, so that we can treat the whole person."

Jillian Dempsey scores her first goal of the evening in a 5-1 win over Providence (Photo Courtesy: Todd Huxley Smith)
Highlights: Harvard at Providence Dec. 8, 2011
Jillian Dempsey Postgame Comments
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Harvard women's hockey team earned its first non-conference win of the season as the Crimson downed Providence, 5-1, Thursday night at Schneider Arena. Harvard improves to 7-4-0 on the season while Providence dips to 8-10-3 on the year.
Both teams took the first few minutes to get their bearings, but the Crimson was the first to string together some passes and found its way onto the scoreboard at 13:44. Samantha Reber collected the puck in her own zone and fed Jillian Dempsey, who bolted through neutral ice, dishing the puck to Lyndsey Fry at the last second. Fry put a shot on Providence goalie Genevieve Lacasse who made the initial save, but Dempsey was there to deposit the rebound on a backhand for a 1-0 lead.
Back-to-back Harvard penalties put the Crimson penalty kill to the test early, but Harvard was steady on the first kill and took to the offensive the next time around. A Providence player wound up for a slapshot from the blue line and Dempsey blocked the blast at point-blank range. The junior jumped on the ricochet and sped down the ice, besting Lacasse with another backhand for Harvard's first shorthanded score of the season at 8:15.
Elizabeth Parker got on the scoresheet just before the end of the period, puching home a short-range look for her fourth goal of the season, giving Harvard a 3-0 lead at the first intermission. Margaret Chute earned an assist on the play for her first point of the season, giving every Harvard player that has seen the ice at least one point this year.
Providence came out of the break with a chip on its shoulder and found its first score just 18 seconds into the second. Harvard has a response for the Friars' goal, tacking on a fourth tally with 3:32 gone in the frame. After an offensive flurry in the Friar zone, Kalley Armstrong found the puck on her stick and her slapper tipped off Lacasse's glove and trickled into the net for Harvard's second unassisted score of the night. Harvard successfully killed a third penalty in the final minutes of the second and took a 4-1 lead into the second intermission.
Another goal was scored right out of an intermission, but this time it was Harvard padding its lead. Sarah Edney dished a pass to Dempsey and after Dempsey couldn't get it past Lacasse, Fry lifted it past to push the Crimson lead to 5-1. Harvard continued to kill penalties in the back half of the period and the final buzzer sounded with the score 5-1 Harvard.
Harvard is back on the ice tomorrow night as it squares off against its second Hockey East opponent in as many days, facing New Hampshire at Bright Hockey Center in a 7 p.m. game.

Upset that their favorite team was eliminated from the Champions League, Inter Milan fans waited for them at the airport and when they got back, assaulted them both verbally and physically.
Inter actually won a league game inbetween the Champions League loss and their return home, but I guess that wasn't sufficient time for the fans' wounds to heal. So, to help themselves through the grieving process, they opened up a small wound on the head of midfielder Cristiano Zanetti and also injured a couple of cops.
This comes just a couple days after Inter Milan was fined about $30,000 after their fans hit an African player, Marc Zoro, with some racist taunts. They even made a racist banner. They are thorough in their racism.
Also, the Vatican is mad at them for playing a game against rival AC Milan on Good Friday. The Pope should probably watch his back.
