Since beginning the transition toward eating as a locavore (a person who eats only locally grown food whenever possible), I've learned to make a lot of things myself that I used to buy ready to eat. In the process I've made four simple discoveries which have revolutionized my overall approach to eating and feeding my family. Here they are: Continue Reading

"Corning" beef is actually a method of pickling. The raw beef is soaked in a salty brine for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the recipe you use. (I opted for a few days, because that's the way I am.) Continue Reading
This recipe is inspired by fresh apple cider from BelleWood Acres. However, it also includes a beverage experiment I tried several years ago.
I was living in a cabin with a huge walnut tree just outside the door. Every year, I'd watch for the walnuts to ripen, but every year I'd awaken one morning to the sound of blue jays. That was the day the walnuts would all be gone. The jays were faster than me when the walnuts were ripe.
One year I read about an Italian liqueur called nocino, which is made from green walnuts steeped in vodka for a couple of months, sometimes with added herbs and spices. At last! I'd found a way to enjoy at least some of the walnuts before the jays ate them.
At first, the nocino I made tasted bitter, but everything I read said the flavor would get better with age (as in years). It did. Continue Reading

Sweet potatoes can be prepared exactly as you would prepare regular white potatoes, though the flavor will be considerably different–richer and sweeter. In salads, as fries, mashed, sautéed, boiled, steamed, or however you choose to prepare them, sweet potatoes add a sweet earthy flavor to any dish.
I also use them in recipes just as I would squash or pumpkin. Their sweetness makes them ideal for desserts as well as savory dishes. The classic sweet potato pie is a good example. In the recipe below, I've used a favorite German potato salad recipe and adapted it to use sweet potatoes instead. Continue Reading
In honor of the 2013 Wild Mushroom Show, hosted every October in Bellingham by the Northwest Mushroomers Association, I wanted to create a mushroom recipe. The main question in my mind was about which type of mushroom to use. The list wasn't as long as you might imagine. While there are multitudes of edible mushroom varieties that grow wild in this area, and I love hunting for them and looking at them, I have zero skills at identifying them. I sadly crossed all wild mushrooms off my list. Continue Reading

Every year in October the Northwest Mushroomers Association (NMA) hosts a Wild Mushroom Show at Bloedel Donovan Park in Bellingham. It is a unique event, and a remarkable demonstration of the diversity of nature. It's also really fun!
Members of the NMA gather fresh examples of as many varieties of mushrooms as possible which grow wild in our area. Tucked in with moss to help keep them moist, hundreds of mushrooms are displayed in trays. Labels identify the Latin names, common names (if any), and icons indicating edible or poisonous varieties.

For a sample of Debra Daniels Zeller's work in The Northwest Vegetarian Cookbook: 200 Recipes That Celebrate the Flavors of Oregon and Washington (see my review of this cookbook), this Borscht recipe is reprinted by permission from the book. There were a few ingredients which were not local, so I've added notes about adaptations I made to substitute local ingredients. The results were both lovely and delectable. The surprising (to me) use of potato to thicken the beet soup gave it a smooth, creamy texture without the use of cream. Give it a try! Continue Reading

Winter squash (including pumpkins) have a nutritional treasure at the center–and a tasty one, too! In the middle of the stringy pulp are the lovely squash seeds. They are quick and easy to roast, filling the kitchen with a wonderful fragrance that only comes in the fall.
Cleaning the seeds can be a bit of a chore. They grow in little clumps, and I pinch them off one at a time like picking grapes. Then I put them in a colander and rinse well under cold water, rubbing the seeds together to remove the slippery juice. (Learn more about how to cut open winter squash.)
Don't let seed cleaning stop you from fixing this healthy autumn snack. Just put on some good music and have at them! The rich flavor and concentrated nutrition makes it worth the effort. Continue Reading

If we were going to do true confessions I'd have to admit pears are my favorite tree fruit. They've been my favorite for as long as I can remember, going all the way back to childhood.
When I was in my twenties, I can still vividly remember the time at a friend's house in Alaska when I first tasted fresh pears with Gorgonzola cheese. I think I may have swooned.
For the recipe below, I chose a vinegar reduction for a tart contrast to the sweet Bosc pears, some hazelnuts to add a roasted crunch, and some basil as an earthy note to warm up the pear's brightness. I recommend you be sitting down when you taste it. You might swoon! Continue Reading

I'd read you could smoke salmon in a charcoal barbecue grill using a hot smoking technique, so I decided to try it with some fresh chum fillets I'd just cleaned. Chums make good fish for hot smoking because they are a fattier salmon and so stay moister during smoking. The fish I had was caught the previous day by local reefnet fishermen here on Lummi Island.
I made the brine/marinade shown below and soaked a couple of fillets overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, I took the fillets out to drain and dry slightly. I also put a couple big handfuls of alder chips (purchased at Yaeger's Sporting Goods, 3101 Northwest Ave., Bellingham) in a bowl of water to soak for a few minutes. Continue Reading

When our family takes driving trips, we like to have snacks to munch on along the way when fueling stops and hunger pangs don't align. Beef jerky is a snack I grew up eating, and it's perfect for traveling. It doesn't require refrigeration, is loaded with flavor, needs no preparation, and provides a long-lasting energy boost because it's mostly protein. Jerky also takes a lot of chewing, so a little lasts a long time.
Jerky is a good snack choice for hikers, skiiers, backpackers, people who fish, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Since it's dried, it weighs relatively little and takes only a small amount of space. It can be broken into bits and used almost like dehydrated bacon in campfire or cookstove dishes, such as pasta. It punches up the flavor, and adds protein and salt at the same time. Continue Reading

Lobster mushrooms have a meaty texture, even more than portobellas. For that reason they are often used by vegetarians in recipes instead of meat. People also use lobster mushrooms to dye fibers for knitting or weaving.
Lobster mushrooms are particularly fascinating in the strange world of fungi. Read my article about Lobster Mushrooms.
If you're interested in learning more about mushrooms and how to identify, collect and eat them safely, I'd recommend contacting the Northwest Mushroomers Association (NMA).

"Lion: the fiercest and most magnanimous of the four footed beasts"
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755)
Welcome to our comprehensive guide to the African lion. You will find here, and using the quicklinks to the right, a wealth of information to let you know about this fascinating species. Throughout the text you will see bracketed numbers that refer to the sources of information, listed on the references page.
Let's start our journey of discovery with Etymology, where did the lion get its name?
The lion's name derives from the Latin Leo [1]; the ancient Greek λέων (leon) [2] with the Hebrew word lavi possibly also related [3]. The generic component of its scientific designation, Panthera¸ is presumed to derive from Greek pan- ("all") and ther ("beast") but this may be folk etymology. The name came into English through the classical languages, but panther, is probably of East Asian origin meaning "the yellowish animal" [4]
"Lion" in various languages
Afrikaans: Leeu
Swahili: Simba
isiNdebele: Indua
isiZulu: Ingonyama
isiXhosa: Ingonyama
seSotho: Tau
seTswana: Tau
Shona: Shumba
Shangaan: Nghala
Venda: Ndau
Nama/Damara: Xamm
Herero: Shitona
Ovambo: Shinga
Taxonomic Classification
The lion was first classified as Felis leo by Linnaeus in 1758 from a specimen found in Constantine, Algeria
The lion (Panthera leo) [5] is a mammal and second largest in the family Felidae, being slightly smaller than the tiger (Panthera tigris) [6]. The leopard (Panthera pardus) and the jaguar (Panthera onca) are the two other cats that make up the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Felidae
Subfamily: Pantherinae
Genus: Panthera
Species: Panthera leo (P. leo)
Origin of a Species
Fossil evidence suggests that the earliest lion-like cat (P. l. fossilis) appeared at Laetoli in Tanzania in East Africa during the Late Pliocene (5.0–1.8 million years ago) [7].
In a pattern broadly resembling that of humans, lions migrated out of Africa during the Middle Pleistocene (800–100,000 years ago - kyr) into Europe, Asia and North America extending as far south as Peru [8] – [9] and becoming the most widespread large terrestrial mammals during the Late Pleistocene (100–10 kyr) [7],[10].
Recent genetic studies have suggested that at least two distinct lineages of lion inhabited western Eurasia at the end of the Pleistocene: the Holarctic cave lion (P. l. spelaea), and the modern lion (P .l. leo) [11].
It has been suggested that a population bottleneck of the modern lion (ca. 55–200 kyr) allowed a single population of lions to replace older populations in Africa and south-western Eurasia [9].
This single origin replacement model of modern lion evolution provides a parallel to the 'recent African origin' model of human evolution (in comparison to the 'multiregional evolution' model), in which modern Homo sapiens evolved in Africa ca. 200 kyr and went on to replace hominids (e.g. the Neanderthals) elsewhere [8].
Sub-species Classification
Although modern lions genetically differ from leopards and tigers by 13.8% and 19.8%, respectively, differences from Holartic cave lions of 5 – 6% greatly exceed those among modern African lions (around 0 - 1.22%). Lions do show substantial variation within populations but only limited between population differences; like other wide-ranging large mammals [12].
Twenty-four sub-species classifications have been suggested for modern lions [13] based on external morphological differences in different geographical regions, such as; body size, coat thickness and colour, mane size and colouration as well as the extent of retention of juvenile spots into adulthood. However, recent mitochondrial DNA sequence variation analysis suggests that lions across Africa are the same and sub-Saharan lions should be considered a single sub-species Panthera leo leo [14]-[15].
Some even question the sub-species classification of the Asiatic lion, currently classified as P.l. persica, due to the limited genetic difference (1.1%) to African lions [12] – this difference being smaller than those found between human racial groups [16].
The IUCN currently recognizes two extant sub-species of lion [17]:
African lion Panthera leo leo (Linnaeus, 1758)
Asiatic lion Panthera leo persica (Meyer, 1826)

1. Do I need to live in-district in order to register for an online course?
No. In addition, all distance learning students are charged in-district fees and tuition, regardless of where they live.
- An online course is delivered via the Internet rather than in a traditional classroom in a building.
- Students "attend" an online course at a time that is convenient for them rather than at a regularly scheduled class time.
- Students in an online class are responsible for scheduling their own "class time" each week. Motivation and self-discipline are essential for success in an online course.
- Learning material in an online course is generally presented by means of textbooks and articles, online documents, and audio-visual materials.
- Whether in a traditional classroom setting or online, the instructor organizes, prepares, and manages the presentation of course materials; crafts assignments to help students grasp and apply the material; assigns due dates and monitors student progress.
- Students in an online course interact with their instructor and other students in the class via email, discussion forums, and chats, rather than face-to-face discussions. Students use their reading and writing skills more predominately than their speaking and listening skills.
- As in a traditional classroom, students in an online class are evaluated by means of assignments and exams.
3. Do I need to buy a textbook(s) for an online courses?
In most cases, yes. Students are expected to purchase a textbook(s) for most online courses. You can check what text is required for your online course(s) at the Oakton Bookstore at either campus or online. Be sure the course section number matches your online course section number. For example,"0C1".
Note: Some courses use textbooks that come packaged with an Access Code for the course, included in the cost of the text, if it is new. Used texts will not have an active access code, and will require the student to purchase an access code separately.
4. Will I ever need to come to campus for an online course?
All instruction will generally be via the Internet. However, check the course description. Some instructors have scheduled on-campus lab sessions and/or presentations, which are mandatory . In addition, approximately half of our online courses require on-campus testing. Alternative arrangements for exams can be made for students who live at a distance which prevents taking their exams on-campus.
5. How do I take exams as part of an online course?
If proctored exams are required as a part of an online course, local students can take them in Oakton's Testing Center on either campus. Call the Testing Center on either campus, in Des Plaines 847-635-1939 or in Skokie 847-635-1446, for hours of operation. No appointment is necessary. Additionally, some instructors will make their own arrangements with students.
Special arrangements will be made for students who live out of the area to take any required exams. See Oakton's Proctoring Requirements.
6. Do I need to take placement tests prior to registering for an online course?
In some cases you do.
- If you wish to take English or mathematics courses, you will need to take Oakton's placement tests. For further information and a schedule of testing dates, contact the Testing Center.
- If you have already completed the prerequisite for an Oakton English or mathematics course in another college, you can submit a transcript or send verification that you completed the prerequisite before you register. Out of district students needing Oakton Math and/or English placement exams, please contact the Online Learning Office, firstname.lastname@example.com, 847-635-1970.
If you have questions about the placement test requirement, contact an advisor through the Advising Services or by email.
7. How much computer literacy is required for success in an online course?
Students must possess a minimum level of computer knowledge to function in an online learning environment. They need to be comfortable with the Windows or Macintosh environment and with navigating the World Wide Web. Additionally, they should be able to use email and a variety of search engines.
8. Who do I call if I need assistance?
- If you need to talk with an academic advisor, contact Advising and Counseling at 847-635-1741 or e-mail.
- If you need more information about course content, call or e-mail the instructor.
- If you need information about your bill, call the cashier at 847-635-1639.
- If you need information about obtaining the books and materials for your course, call the Online Learning office, 847-635-1970.
9. Can I get a refund if necessary?
Online courses are subject to the same refund policies as conventional Oakton credit courses. See Withdrawal from Classes for more information. The schedule/bill statement you receive when you register will include the exact dates for drop deadlines and the amount of refund you may expect. You may also contact the Enrollment Center for more information.
10. Can I use Financial Aid for an online course?
Yes, if you receive financial aid from Oakton, you may apply it toward tuition and fees for an online course.
See Costs and Financial Aid for more information.
11. What are the technical requirements for an online course?
Students need to have access to a computer and an Internet connection and any additional hardware/software as specified for a particular course. Students who don't have a computer can use computers available in the open labs on either campus. Technical requirements are listed here.
12. What student skills are required for success in an online course?
Online courses provide students the scheduling flexibility of accessing a course from anywhere at any time, but they also require students to be self-disciplined and organized and to have excellent time management skills. Students must speak up for what they need, whether that is emailing a question, asking for help, etc.
To be successful in an online learning environment, students must keep up with the weekly schedule and actively participate in learning activities.

Helm's favourite drone records
Oh you posted that already.
I've seen Helm live a couple of times and it's only ever really worked for me once. He seems like a nice young man though.
That list looks good, the Faraway Press stuff I keep meaning to check out (as well as later Jackman/Organum).
This David Keenan UK drone feature is good too:

thank you droid for the list and the mathieu embed.
the ian william craig record (almost the only thing i recognise on that list) i is beautiful, craig's vocals put through who knows what processes, a very unique record (unfortunately sold out).
an old recommendation: the early jliat cds ca. 1997 (the nature of nature, etc.), very deep synth-based drones that take up the 76-79 minutes of the cd.
other drone favourites are the recordings of abandoned telegraph wires by alan lamb on dorobo ca. 1995, and the vlf recordings on irdial (that i'm not sure count as drones, but are fascinating).
very old: artemiev's work on stalker
finally, a recent find is the ariel kalma retrospective on rvng, some pieces on the second side (i'm not sure old or new) are very hypnotic vocal/looping type stuff that would not be out of place here.
This reminded me of Ben Watson's amusing and surprising position on drones from his excellent Derek Bailey biography:
"A drone has a very different emotional resonance to either the urgent chord sequences of jazz or the electricity dependent feedback of rock: it tends towards folkish melancholy, regret and nostalgia for everything modernity has destroyed. In trained musicians (who are really, after all, superannuated craftspersons from a previous mode of musical reproduction), it brings out a latent conservatism. Moreover the large space necessary for so many musicians recording together at a single place and time results in 'classical' blurring of player individuality, an acoustic blend whose symphonic aura is the very opposite of the in-your-face immediacy of jazz and rock records..."
Two fascinating things about drone for me: 1) The wide scope of the genre, ranging back to 50's and 60's electronic experimentalism, the peripheries of Jazz and 'world' music, and then on through noise, ambient, post punk weirdness and new electronica & post-rock from the 90's on, and 2) The experience of listening and the textural sensitivity evoked... it's like reducing a palette down to one colour and exploring tiny variations in shade and tone, or being stuck in the pitch black out in the country somewhere and your vision gradually adjusting until you can almost make out faint shapes in the darkness.
Drone is a feeling.
This guy is always near the top of any list:
Big fan of this guys stuff as 'mirror'. Solo work is immense:
Speaking of post punk weirdness - this always reminds me of Organum:

TORONTO - Ontario will push for a review of a board that oversees compensation for residents of two First Nations still suffering health issues from mercury poisoning that occurred five decades ago, Aboriginal Affairs Minister David Zimmer said Tuesday.
The minister said he will work with the federal government and Wabaseemoong First Nation to gain their approval for a review that would look at the level of benefits provided by the Mercury Disability Board, which has come under fire by aboriginal groups.
"I think Ontarians, First Nation members and indeed all Canadians ... feel in their hearts that something has to be done," Zimmer said.
Ontario would also look at options for more treatment for Grassy Narrows First Nation residents in their community, he said, as they currently have to travel long distances for medical help.
Water around Grassy Narrows has been contaminated with mercury since a local paper mill dumped an estimated 10 tonnes of neurotoxins into the system between 1962 and 1970.
Zimmer said he was stirred during his three-hour talk on Sunday with former Grassy Narrows chief Steve Fobister, who suffers from the debilitating neurological effects of mercury poisoning and has been pushing for the review.
"Hearing directly from him in a very human way what mercury poisoning is all about, it moves the soul and it moves everyone to want to do something to combat it," he said.
Fobister said he'll end the hunger strike that he started Monday to spur action on the issue.
"The minister's statement has brought some measure of comfort, but we still have work to do," he said.
Fobister said he wants to see greater participation from both levels of government to be "seriously committed, not just to play political and legal games with the persisting problems that we're dealing with at this time."
The Mercury Disability Board, which includes both levels of government, was formed in 1985 as part of an out-of-court settlement reached between Grassy Narrows and the Wabaseemoong Independent Nations and Ottawa, the province and two paper companies over mercury-related claims.
The Grassy Narrows First Nation said Monday it had obtained an unreleased report that found the board's criteria to determine whether someone had symptoms consistent with mercury poisoning were based on old science.
The report, which was commissioned by the board in 2009, also said there was "no doubt" people in the northwestern Ontario community of roughly 1,600 near Kenora suffered from mercury-related neurological disorders.
It found the board recognized only 38 per cent of the cases identified by other experts, noting the discrepancies "are due to different criteria used for evaluations" than those employed by Japanese experts who examined the community between 1975 and 2004.
Zimmer said he'll call federal officials Tuesday afternoon to get the ball rolling and travel Aug. 6 to Grassy Narrows.
"It's appropriate after 29 years — as you would any organization — to review (the board), to bring it up to date, to get the best science that we can possibly get, to get the best advice on how the board should operate," he said.
First Nations and governments have been talking for the last 50 years about the issue and it can't go on forever, Fobister said.
"I don't think I have any more level of comfort to talk another 50 years," he said.

More than 40 Indianapolis-area organizations and businesses formed a coalition in May to create a culture of change and push their metropolitan area from a ranking of 43 in the American College of Sports Medicine's annual American Fitness Index to the top 10 by 2025, The Indianapolis Star reported. The ranking measures a variety of personal health behaviors and community and environmental factors affecting health and fitness levels, including the levels of smoking, obesity and diabetes as well as a lack of park land, recreation centers and tennis courts.
Though Indianapolis improved its ranking this year from 45th to 43th from last year, its two strengths (which were its number of golf courses and the state requirement for physical education classes) decreased, and its 19 weaknesses increased. However, the smoking rate decreased from 21.5 percent in 2011 to 19.8 percent this year, death rates from diabetes and cardiovascular disease decreased and a higher percentage of people in the city reported they are in excellent or very good health.
The people of Indianapolis are taking the first step of recognizing public health issues and addressing them.
The coalition, which formed about a year ago, has received assistance from Indianapolis-based American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Indianapolis-based WellPoint Foundation also gave ACSM $172,000 to help form the coalition in Indianapolis and similar efforts in Oklahoma City, which ranked last in the index, the Star reported.
Coalition members, which include hospitals, banks, universities, health agencies and businesses, decided to focus on four areas: increasing physical activity, improving nutrition, reducing the number of smokers and improving recreational facilities and other amenities, such as parks, recreation areas, trails, farmers markets and bicycle lanes.
Eric Ellsworth, president and chief executive of the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, told the Star that the public attention given to the health crisis in America and in Indianapolis has awakened people to the issues and they are starting to commit themselves to personal lifestyle changes.
Nationally, the ACSM will help 10 cities jump-start their efforts within three years to bring together leaders and help develop priorities.
These community organizations could be the key to turning around our nation and even developing healthy habits that will last much longer. Their dedication and commitment to each other is really the start of something more that could be a means to curtail the obesity epidemic.
We've published plenty of reports about obesity in recent months, including a decline in youth obesity in higher-income children, urging you to take action and do something to help fight obesity in your community or warning that the push to get people exercising can also result in overuse injuries. But this post isn't a warning or news announcement, rather a little inspiration that groups are coming together to create change. Perhaps your fitness facility is or can be part of similar efforts.

'Less Means More': Plastics Delivers More Value through Light-weight Automotive Components
This two minute documentary follows a taxi driver in Wuhu, China. He describes the superior handling and low operating costs of his taxi, thanks in part to collaboration between DuPont and Chery.
Light-weight Automotive Components
When you talk with someone like Cao Tieniu, the years of materials engineering, application development and processing breakthroughs that go into converting metal automotive components to lighter weight plastic translates to one thing – more profit enabling more time to spend with his family.
Cao Tieniu is the taxi driver featured in this video – Less Means More. He drives a Chery taxi in Wuhu, China. "Compared to some cars, it uses less fuel," he says. "For those of us who drive taxis, it increases our profits."
Designing for lighter weight vehicles
DuPont has been leading the metals to plastics conversion for more than 60 years, working collaboratively with global automakers and the value chain to be the first to bring high volume thermoplastic solutions that reduce weight and cost.
Today the collaboration model extends beyond powertrain, beyond geographic borders to touch commercial vehicles that move tons of freight cost effectively to scooters where weight reduction can cut curb weight almost in half.
In addition to fuel savings, use of thermoplastic reduces CO2 emissions and offers significant integration opportunities.
Working with Chery Automobile
The Chery taxi featured in this mini-documentary uses several DuPont advanced materials, including DuPont™ Zytel® nylon resin and DuPont™ Vamac® ethylene acrylic elastomer in components ranging from the air-intake manifold and cylinder head cover to air ducts.
Together the components account for about 30-40 percent decrease in component weight compared with their metal counterpart, generating a significant increase in fuel economy and reduction in CO2 emissions.
"Lightweighting technology is a very important component in the process of fuel efficiency," said Chen Anning, vice president, Chery Automobile. "There has been a lot of cooperation between DuPont and Chery."
Collaboration is essential in bringing science-based solutions to market
DuPont recognizes that no one person, no one company can manage the magnitude of change that industry today faces on their own and has stepped up by creating "Innovation Centers" that connect 95,000 DuPont scientists to customers and others around the world.
"We're in an industry where the clock speed is faster and faster and the only way to bring innovation to market is to lay more of our cards on the table," said DuPont Chief Innovation Officer Tom Connelly. "We need to be more open and transparent about our capabilities and advanced materials solutions as a means of inviting rich conversations about customer and consumer needs. Then we need to get busy about getting there in the fastest amount of time possible."

You wondered about the KKK lyrics. I haven't transcribed them from the record, but this is a transcription off the WWW, at www.bide-et-musique.com... , translated into English. I'd say it's pretty anti-KKK :-) --
Here they parade all dressed in white
On their way the guys are hiding from my street
They put a hood for more fun
On their chests they sew a blood red logo
Take your beatnik, bring your kids
Car will meet the famous Ku Klux Klan
They choose a softer meadow grass
Who lives frolic many generations
After eating, having a good laugh
They all start round and everyone prays
They invoke Lucifer their most beautiful voices
To raise the joy
Oh are burning the cross
But in their beautiful decor
There fatty papers
And empty bottles of Coca-Cola
It is the cream, old girls, governors
Who dream of lynching, to spread terror
When they insulted races and religions
And well-fed hatred, disillusionment
They return home soon
They open the TV
To see the face they
the news

Commitment to All People
"As members of the Milligan College community and in faithfulness to the teaching of Scripture, we commit ourselves to honoring and broadening the diversity of our community and to treating every person with respect, dignity, and love. By reflecting the diversity of God's kingdom, the College bears witness to that kingdom and equips students to serve in a diverse and interdependent world." 1
Diversity at Milligan
Milligan College believes that diversity in our student body, faculty, and staff, whether by race, color, ethnicity, disability, multicultural background, sex, or age, is important for us to fulfill our primary mission: to provide a quality education where men and women are prepared as servant-leaders. We believe that:
Diversity enriches the educational experience.
We learn from those whose experiences, beliefs, and perspectives are different from our own, and these lessons can be taught best in a richly diverse intellectual and social environment.
Diversity strengthens communities and the workplace.
Education within a diverse setting prepares students to become good citizens in an increasingly complex, pluralistic society; it fosters mutual respect and teamwork; and it helps build communities whose members are judged by the quality of their character and their contributions.2
Diversity promotes personal growth and a healthy society.
Diversity challenges stereotyped preconceptions; it encourages critical thinking; and it helps students learn to communicate effectively with people of varied backgrounds.
Diversity reflects God's kingdom.
The college's view on diversity is shaped by its Christian faith. The Gospel's call is always to move beyond our culture-imposed, self-imposed boundaries and to understand that people whom we may have previously labeled "others" are created in God's image.3
- foster a commitment to diversity
- create a welcoming college environment
- provide curricular and co‐curricular strategies that help all students develop intercultural competencies
- recruit and retain a diverse student body and workforce
Because of these beliefs and goals, Milligan College desires to reach out and make a concerted effort to build a healthy and diverse learning environment appropriate to our mission. The college relies on academic programs, educational services, and scholarships to recruit and retain a diverse student body. Current initiatives include:
- The Betty Goah Scholars Program
- Multicultural Engagement Office
- Multicultural Appreciation Month
- Multicultural Affairs Student Organization
- The mission of the Multicultural Affairs Student Organization is to make Milligan a genuinely multicultural Christian community. To be such a community is to affirm the worth of all human beings and to affirm the value and significance of the human cultures and communities which have developed over the centuries. It is to affirm a biblical version of the Kingdom of God, in which people from "every tribe and language and people and nation" are gathered (Rev. 5:9). It is also to acknowledge the extent to which racism, intolerance, and other sins have contributed, and continue to contribute to the failure of this endeavor — even within our own Milligan community.
- Ethnic Studies requirement (see the General Education Requirements)
- Diversity Advisory Committee
- This is a group of community and civic leaders who advise and share insight on the direction, process, and efforts to bring diversity to Milligan College.
For more information about these initiatives, please contact 423.461.8492.
Statement of Nondiscrimination
Milligan College admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at Milligan. Milligan does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, age, or disability in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

With the tremendous increase in body art, anywhere between 1 in 5 adults and over half of all women aged over 18, getting rid of unwanted tattoos has never been more important. Practical and dependable techniques to remove tattoos have lagged behind the rise in the amount of tattoos until the advancement of the Picosure Laser. Investigation has revealed that as high as 20% of men and women with tattoos regret their selection.

It's game day ???! #Repost from Australian professional NRL player @andrewfifita in the midst of getting his tattoo removed with #PicoSure ? Fantastic results @vanish_skinclinic! GO THE BLUES ? ・・・ Big thanks to @vanish_skinclinic for the 2nd laser treatment on my neck. Picture saying it all, that's 1 treatment. #tattoo #grateful ・ #Cynosure #CynosureAustralia #LoveLookingGood #TattooRemoval #Results #StateOfOrigin #NSW
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
PicoSure laser is the biggest jump forward in tattoo removal treatment in the last 15 years. Older laser technology depend on multiple lasers for different colours as well as used thermal (heat) energy to break up tattoo ink. The PicoSure not only delivers its treatment by the one laser it is also much more effective at tattoo removal. Tattoos can be removed in half the number of treatments of other lasers. With approximately 6 to 8 weeks between treatments, we will save you time, money and offer you the very best likelihood of complete clearance of any laser tattoo treatment available.
Blackburn and Mitcham Tattoo Removal Cost.
How Much Will Tattoo Removal Cost?
Our first consultations are free however your treatment will be quoted individually. Your price quote will be based on the area of the tattoo you want removed. You will be surprised at how inexpensive the cost will be.
It's important to remember that even though treatments with older lasers may seem cheaper, in the end they may likely not be, as you may need double the treatments as with the Picosure laser.
Does Tattoo Removal Hurt? Can it be Pain Free?
The PicoSure laser will produce heat in the area being treated. To counteract this we cool the tattoo removal area a Zimmerman cooling system. This makes your treatment as comfortable as possible.We can also offer Local Anaesthetic injections if required.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Generally tattoos require anywhere between three and five treatments with the Picosure Laser. This varies depending on the type of ink, ink colour and how much ink is present in your tattoo. Unfortunately, as there is no standard for the ink used in tattoos , it isn't possible to know exactly how many treatments required. We can say however that for the same type of tattoo the Picosure laser is twice as quick as in removing tattoos compared to older laser technologies.

Re: Qt as Free as GTK?
How so?
GPL therefore has more rules, but the extra rule is used to guaranty a greater freedom. Therefore the comparison to a modern free-society that has more rules than an anarchy but uses those to guaranty greater freedom for the individuals.

Thank you
Thank you Trolltech!
This will give your toolkit total dominance (we will - once available - make it default for all internal projects) and well deserved.
And of course, Free Software is going to be able to gain large user populations over. I think KDE on Windows is going to be much better as a native application.
I personally will love to recommend e.g. KimDaba and Kate to Windows users. :-)

Now this is great news! I hope in time this proves to be a good move for Qt!

Binary Libraries???
According to http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faqs/duallicense.html#q18 , "Commercial customers will have access to a package containing a prebuilt Qt library." Does this mean that there won't be a standard Qt dll for Windows????!!!! This seems like it would be a major problem - Windows is a monolithic platform, we can't have all these different people having their own "builds" of the Qt library!

To the whiners
And who said that the KDE project's goal was Linux advocation?

Re: To the whiners
Heh. You should see what happens when someone commits something for win32 that breaks or even causes problems for the *nix workings.
There are a couple of developers who keep KDE building on the BSD unixes, there is one developer who maintains the OSX port of KDE. Will anyone actually start porting the KDE apps? KDE as an environment doesn't make any sense since Windows comes with it's own environment.
It all comes down to someone willing to do the work. I know that KDE will be around for Linux in the years to come. I would deploy it without any fear of it disappearing. But windows ports? Talk to me in two or three years. The same goes for Evolution.
Has any project been successful in attracting win32 developers?
This is a good move for Trolltech, and will spread their developer mindshare even further.

Re: To the whiners
Why type if you won't answer the question? Or maybe you got very confused and thought you were posting to another thread.
By Plisken at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: To the whiners
There is one developer working on win32 stuff.
There are more than 200 active contributors.
The KDE desktop on Windows is a non starter.
KDE is primarily a desktop environment.
I would say that KDE advocates for *nix. (Linux, the BSD's, and some proprietary unixes)
Let me repeat. KDE desktop has no possibilities, no future, no place on Windows. There is already a well entrenched desktop that is probably very difficult if not impossible to replace.
Some KDE applications may find a place on windows, but time will tell. And that will be up to individuals who are moved to do the work to maintain them.
As I said, this move is good for Trolltech. I suspect it will have very little effect on KDE. If I see two or three dozen windows developers join up and start contributing, then I will be proved wrong.

Well said!

Re: To the whiners
In reality, the KDE desktop is a non-starter on Linux as long as it relies on the Qt toolkit. Too late now.

That's trolling and BS.

Fantastic. Now what about PyQt?
If I could develop PyQt apps cross platform under the GPL, that would be awesome.
By Jon Scobie at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: Fantastic. Now what about PyQt?
I've seen a report on the PyKDE mailing list that someone got the recent WIN32 port of Qt3 (GPL), and PyQt compilied and working on Windows. So it is possible. What is now needed is a neatly compiled and packaged up version Qt3 and PyQt that people can easily install and use. Volunteers? anyone?

I don't care about migrating others...
I didn't read all the comments, but most seem to be about using KDE to get people to migrate... nevermind that most people in the Windows world don't know what KDE is or could even name a KDE app.
I've already migrated though to Linux. And I'm happy using KDE. However, it would be a great boost to KDE developement if it had a larger userbase. Something like amaroK would catch on pretty well in Windows, I imagine. And if the userbase swelled to double, or triple the size it could only mean more developers. Which is what I care about: a better user experience for me.
People who know what Linux is about generally like the philosophy of FOSS. That's what made me jump over. What's driving people to Linux is definately not, "Oh! I hear the new versions of konqueror and koffice are so uber, time to make the switch!" They already have parallel software: IE/MSoffice, or Firefox/OOo. But, get konq and company running under Windows and you just might attract more developers. As a side effect, you might even improve the user-friendly image of Linux... but that shouldn't be the main aim.

GREENWICH, Conn. -- Greenwich Hospital welcomed nearly 100 children to its fourth "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" on Thursday, April 24.
Employees' children, ages 5 to 18, got a hands-on opportunity to experience healthcare work in a hospital setting.
Activities included visits to the simulation lab, where kids learned how to perform CPR; the physical medicine department., where they maneuvered an obstacle course on crutches and in wheelchairs; and the medical education department for a game of "medical jeopardy."
There were demonstrations by mother/baby, community health, nuclear medicine and the emergency departments, as well as behind-the-scene tours of the physical plant and information systems.
Greenwich Emergency Medical Services (GEMS) and the Greenwich Police SWAT and canine units were also on hand. During the event, younger visitors created get-well cards for patients.
"This is a tremendous family experience for our employees," said Melissa Turner, senior VP of human resources for Greenwich and Bridgeport Hospitals. "We often get thank you notes from the kids saying that they someday plan to pursue healthcare careers specifically because of the opportunities they learned about during our day together."

Q: Can you add too much beneficial bacteria to your pond?
Michelle – Norman, OK
A: They say too much of anything is bad. In this case, too much beneficial bacteria isn't necessarily bad – but your pocketbook might be getting a little lighter.
The Cycle of Life
Beneficial bacteria, those debris-gobbling microorganisms found in our Nature's Defense®, Muck Defense® and Seasonal Defense®, lives just like other living things. They're born (well, most bacteria come into the world via a kind of cellular division called binary fission), they eat food that's available to them (organic debris in your pond), they divide to perpetuate the population, and they die when their life cycle is complete.
Survival of the Fittest
When too many bacteria live in your water feature, they battle and compete for resources rather than growing big and healthy and reproducing. A la Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, the weaker organisms ultimately starve and die. The overall bacteria populations drop, and the pond owner then needs to buy more to replace what he or she has lost to keep up on managing the nutrient load. Those repopulation costs could certainly add up over a while!
Too Much of a Good Thing
Having too much beneficial bacteria in your pond is safe for plants and fish in most cases. But if your pond has a lot of organic buildup, a lot of beneficial bacteria and inadequate aeration, could be a recipe for disaster for your fish. As those bacteria launch their full-scale attack against all that detritus, they deplete the water of oxygen – which the fish needs to survive. An aeration system, like the PondAir™ or KoiAir™Aeration Systems, can help in cases like that by supplying the oxygen and circulating the water column.
The Right Dose
Our advice: For routine maintenance, dose your pond according to the instructions on Nature's Defense®, Muck Defense® and Seasonal Defense® labels. After clean-outs or treatments, you can use a double dose of bacteria to kick-start the repopulation process, but no more than that. And, if you don't have one installed already, consider adding aeration to your pond. All your pond's inhabitants – from microorganism to macro organisms – will appreciate it!
Pond Talk: Have you ever added too much beneficial bacteria to your pond? If so, what were the repercussions?

At the London Conference on Cyberspace, Foreign Secretary William Hague sent a clear message to Governments around the world: "Do not treat cyberspace as if it belongs to you….You should not imagine for an instant that you can resist the growing force of the tide now flowing for transparency, open information and the free exchange of ideas."
But good Internet policy starts at home. Censorship is rearing its ugly head in the UK. A number of proposals from the Government and others put the free flow of information in the UK at risk, with suggestions that website blocking be used for content related to copyright infringement, terrorism and adult material.
Website blocking is ineffective and dangerous. It won't prevent access to the sites blocked, because it is trivial to avoid. And whether it is through over-reaching regulation, damaging technical consequences or weak legal oversight, it risks undermining people's ability to access information freely. Our concern is that it hands too much power to law enforcement, Government or private interests, with too little oversight, over what information people are allowed to access online.
Help Open Rights Group fight censorship in the UK. Below you can learn about what the Government and others are doing, and find out ways to contribute.
Copyright owners want sites that are accused of copyright infringement to be blocked. Rights holders can currently go to court to get an injunction that forces an ISP to block websites involved in infringement. The first of these has recently been granted (the detailed order is here), with BT being forced to block access to the website Newzbin2. There are also further demands from rights holders for quasi-judicial arrangements with ISPs, currently being discussed in closed-door roundtables with the Minister Ed Vaizey MP.
Website blocking for copyright infringement won't work to fix creative economies' problems and does pose a significant risk to due process and freedom of expression. In the case of injunctions, it is likely that the costs of challenging requests to block sites will put off ISPs from going through expensive court procedures. There have already been requests to BT to extend blocking to the Pirate Bay, a site that has not been subject to injunctions or court action in the UK. There is a risk that the injunctions 'route' will come to have only a tenuous relationship with proper due process.
Furthermore, documents setting out the proposals for a new 'streamlined', quasi-judicial scheme describe a "voluntary" blocking process involving "expedited" court procedures with slimline legal oversight, little definition of or evidence for the exact problem being addressed, and no consideration of the technical considerations and consequences of trying to block websites.
Giving parents the tools to try to manage Internet access at home is a perfectly reasonable move. However, some MPs want to go much further in regulating what legal content people are allowed to access online. They don't like adults accessing adult material and would like to see all Internet accounts have such content - however it is defined - banned by default. To access the material, the account owner would have to "opt in" to adult content - and potentially put their names onto a list of people at the ISP who want to access adult material.
Any interventions that reach beyond giving parents tools to manage their own households' mean taking responsibility for what people are allowed to see and do online out of their own hands. It is both difficult to define what is worthy of blocking and technically difficult to ensure only the right content is blocked. This is suggested in the name of protecting children from adult content, but the filters would encourage parents to wrongly believe that children were being properly protected.
The Prevent counter-terrorism strategy suggested that supposed terrorist websites be banned in schools, libraries, academic institutions and government buildings: and that ISPs should be necouraged to ban these sites as well. All this would take place without the need for a court order or any legal process, with suggestions that content that falls into vaguely defined categories such as 'violent' should be included in blocks.
So far usuccessfully, police have tried to push for hate crime websites to be blocked.
Website blocking technologies have been built in order to block child abuse images and sites, but are now being used for copyright and potentially terrorism. BT's Cleanfeed technology blocks specific domains or URLs. Currently, BT requires a court order before it will act - but is being placed in a very difficult position as the legal costs of objecting to requests had to be paid by BT. This could discourage BT and other ISPs from objecting to future censorship requests.
With website blocking come risks of over-blocking, network damage and, once in place, insufficient oversight and accountability. Added together, that means that blocking risks harming people's rights to freely access and share information.
Website blocking is ineffective and dangerous.
Ineffective: Blocking will be trivial to avoid, requiring little or no technical knowledge or time. Ofcom's report into the website blocking provisions of the Digital Economy Act discusses how easily blocking can be avoided. Internet security expert Dr Richard Clayton from the University of Cambridge, argues that 'continuing to pursue this chimera will just mean that time and money will be pointlessly wasted'.
The Newzbin2 site, the subject of the first injunction recently handed to BT, has already provided its UK users with tools to get around the current blocking order. Once many people wish to avoid censorship, new methods of getting round the blocks will become popular and easy to use. Some of these may expose individuals to child abuse content or even make police work more difficult.
In the case of copyright, censorship is pointless. The sites have owners, bank accounts and even companies that can be targeted in courts. The push for censorship will only make infringers work harder to abuse copyright. The answer is more and better legal services that satisfy consumers' demand.
Dangerous: Internet Service Providers now provide a platform that facilitates great economic and social innovation, and which allows people to express themselves more freely than ever before. The limits on ISPs liability for what happens on their networks, which are defined in law, are hugely significant in protecting these activities. An impact on freedom of expression and innovation is inevitable when those boundaries are redrawn. There is also likely unintended overblocking, with the wrong sites being accidentally put on the — inevitably secret — block list. In Australia, a dentist and a kennel were placed on a planned list aimed at blocking child abuse images.
These concerns help to explain the interest of Article 19, Index on Censorship and Global Partners in this issue, all of whom signed a joint open letter to rights-holders about the risks of website blocking for copyright infringement. More recently ORG and 10 other freedom of expression experts, including Index on Censorship, Evgeny Morozov, Cory Doctorow and Heather Brooke, wrote a joint letter to the Foreign Secretary pointing out that domestic policies, from blocking for copyright through to adult material filtering, are undermining our international commitments to freedom of expression. Consumer Focus have worked extensively to highight the effects for consumers.
This year the OSCE and the UN's Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, Frank La Rue both expressed concerns about website blocking. Julian Huppert MP tabled an 'Early Day Motion' (EDM 1913) calling for the Government to reconsider blocking policies in the light of criticism in the UN report. To date it has been signed by 114 MPs. We've helped over 8,600 people write to their MPs to express their concerns about blocking.
Censorship is a poor public policy. It won't work to solve the problems at hand and does come with a number of technological and procedural risks to freedom of expression.It should be avoided wherever possible.
But whatever the reason for censorship, once it is in place it, society is induced into a battle over what to censor and ban next, rather than discussing how to deal with the problems itself.
Firstly, tell your friends. Write blogs, or simply send them to this webpage.
Secondly, write to your MP, and tell them that you are worried about website censorship.
Thirdly join ORG, come to our meetings and get involved.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State coach Thad Matta has agreed to a revised contract which will give him a 10 percent increase to more than $3.2 million annually and includes academic bonuses and more stringent wording about NCAA violations.
With years he had already earned through job performance, the five-time Big Ten champion coach will be under contract through July 2019.
Matta's first eight Ohio State teams have each won at least 20 games and are 13-4 this season and ranked No. 14. He has a record of 234-69 with the Buckeyes after taking over a team that was on probation.
``One of the things I'm most proud of is what we've built here, from where we started,'' he said. ``You look at what we've been able to accomplish, I'm a lot more proud of that than I am of a contract. I feel as blessed as I can be to be at Ohio State. I love this university. I'm extremely grateful in terms of what they have allowed me to do and how they've taken care of me.''
Before coming to Ohio State, Matta was the head coach at his alma mater, Butler, for a year and for three seasons at Xavier. His career mark is 336-100.
Athletic director Gene Smith said he first approached Matta a year ago about updating his contract.
``Thad's done a marvelous job since he's been our coach,'' Smith said. ``Competitively we know he's been highly successful, with five Big Ten championships including three in a row, three (conference) tournament championships, six NCAA appearances, two Final Four appearances including a championship game appearance, and winning the NIT. He's just done a phenomenal job.''
The contract requires Matta to report anyone who ``may potentially have violated'' NCAA rules. That clarified wording which had been troublesome in contracts in the wake of violations committed by football coach Jim Tressel. As a result of major violations committed by Tressel, Ohio State is currently on NCAA probation and received a bowl ban after the 2012 football season.
``All of our contracts for coaches including mine have been modified to represent this language as a result of everything that we learned through our NCAA compliance issues,'' Smith said. ``So we played it up. Every contract has been modified that way.''
Matta said he was fine with the responsibility inherent with the new wording.
``First and foremost, all the things that are in there are things I live by in terms of my responsibility to this university,'' he said. ``That's how I want to operate. I like having those in there.''
Smith said the new contract puts Matta among the top-10 paid head coaches in the country. Buckeyes football coach Urban Meyer makes more than $4.1 million per season, also considered to be among the top 10 contracts in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Ohio State has eliminated complimentary cars for head coaches and the new contract stipulates Matta will receive a stipend of $1,200 a month for two cars. He will also get more hours on a private jet for recruiting purposes.
The board of trustees will consider the new contract, which was signed by both the university and Matta in mid-December 2012, at its meeting next week.

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine put its armed forces on full combat alert on Saturday and warned Russia that any military intervention in the country would lead to war.
After a more than three-hour meeting with security and defense chiefs, Acting President Oleksander Turchinov said there was no justification for what he called Russian aggression against his country.
Standing beside Turchinov, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said he had urged Russia to return its troops to base in the Crimea region during a phone call with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and called for talks.
"Military intervention would be the beginning of war and the end of any relations between Ukraine and Russia," Yatseniuk told reporters.

Hawthorn Berry Treatment for Heart Issues
Did you know that there are millions of people around the world that died annually, solely because of heart attack? This is due to the unhealthy lifestyle of every person in the world. We eat more junk foods than healthy foods. We eat more burgers, pizza, pastas, fried foods, and other foods that you can see in fast food chains. We do not even have much time to spend chewing our foods, instead we eat while we drive, we eat while we are walking going to office, and we eat while working in the offices. These are just few reasons why the foods we eat are not digested properly, and this practice develops some diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and many more.
Did you know that if you worry too much it might also lead you on having a heart attack? This is because anxiety creates a faster pumping in our heart, which is irregular, and this might force your arteries to push blood into your heart more than what you really need. Find some time to relax to avoid thinking about things that might cause depression and stress on you.
If you start to feel pain in your shoulder, neck, jaw, and chest due to difficulty in breathing or what medical practitioners called angina pectoris, you have to visit your physician immediately because these are the common signs of heart problem or coronary heart disease.
There are lots of herbs that can definitely help you to avoid heart attack. There's garlic, ginkgo biloba, and cayenne that helps to regularize the flow of blood from your arteries up to your heart and vice versa. But it has been said that hawthorn berries are the best herbal medicine for heart problems.
Hawthorn berries strengthen our circulatory system, and it has been discovered as a heart tonic, too. Good thing that there are herbs that we can use to fight heart problems and prevent ourselves from heart attacks. Medical practitioners said that natural herbs like hawthorn berries are better than commercial medicines, because commercial medicines have some components that might cause problem to other internal organs. Yes, commercial medicines can cure heart diseases, but it can also damage some of your internal organs such as liver, pancreas, and intestines.
Hawthorn berries prevents your arteries from hardening or atherosclerosis. It also helps to lower your blood pressure or it normalizes your blood pressure according to your body structure, age, and weight. It also helps to improve the process of supplying blood to the heart by opening the blood vessels to its normal size.
Hawthorn berries' function are not limited to heart and circulatory system, but you can also use it in curing sore throats because of the astringent quality it possess.
Your health is the most important thing that you have to take good care of, do not take it for granted. Have a proper diet, stop eating foods that might cause diseases in the future, take some exercise, and find some time to relax. If you will manage all this things, you can soon experience a healthier lifestyle than what you have before.

This document was rescinded as part of EEOC's effort to provide guidance and information that is current, accurate, and clear.
EEOC Office of Legal Counsel staff members wrote the following informal discussion letter in response to an inquiry from a member of the public. This letter is intended to provide an informal discussion of the noted issue and does not constitute an official opinion of the Commission.
Title VII: Undocumented Workers
April 2, 2001
This is in reference to your letter dated February 7, 2001, requesting guidance on employment protections afforded undocumented workers. You state that a company has been exploiting undocumented workers by categorizing them as independent contractors. These undocumented workers are taking part in a union organizing drive and you ask whether they will be protected from reprisal based upon their union activities and whether they can now be "documented."
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (Title VII), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. (ADA), and the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d) et seq. (EPA), which prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability. The EEOC has held that undocumented workers are covered under the laws that the Commission enforces. See EEOC Enforcement Guidance, Remedies Available to Undocumented Workers Under Federal Employment Discrimination Laws, October 22, 1999. However, employer conduct based upon an employee's participation in union activities is not within the EEOC's jurisdiction.
Employer conduct based upon undocumented workers taking part in union activities and reprisal based upon union activities should be addressed by the National Labor Relations Board. Your letter correctly states that the U.S. Supreme Court has held that undocumented workers are covered by the National Labor Relations Act. Sure-Tan, Inc., v. National Labor Relations Board, 467 U.S. 883, 894 (1984). The NLRB Regional Office for your area is:
