Jello Biafra's Statement for Synthesis/Regeneration magazine
Jello's Original Statement January 24, 2000
Check out the Independent Media Center (IMC) It was recently founded as a "people's newsroom" during the WTO protests in Seattle and is now, in just the last 9 months, part of an international network of 18 IMC's on 4 continents. They're all volunteer-run, non-commercial, citizen driven initiatives to reclaim our media democracy.Artists like michael franti, rage against the machine, jello, ozomatli, source of labor, ani difranco, and femi kuti have supported them by granting interviews over the last year.

Jello Biafra Speaks about his Nomination February 29, 2000:
Dear Friends,
Thank you for all your interest and support for my presidential nomination. Following this note is a qualification and platform statement I sent to Synthesis/Regeneration "A magazine of Green Social Thought" out of St. Louis, MO.
Am I running? Am I campaigning? Yes and no. I am "running" in the sense that I granted the New York State Green Party's request to add my name to the ballot for their primary election scheduled for mid-March. I figured it would do no harm, especially if it inspired more people disillusioned with our corporate government by kleptocracy to plunge into the election process, and get hip to the alternatives to our broken down two-party system.
But I am not waging a full-on barnstorming campaign. I am already under severe time constraints (see near end of Synthesis piece). I hadn't expected to be nominated at all. As tempting as it is to try and make a full-on media splash, I am having to forego almost all requests for personal appearances, debates, fundraisers, and interviews.
I am blown away by all the offers for volunteers, campaign committees, the "Draft Jello" websites, and even a "Jello for President" compilation album. Wow. This has helped drive home to me that I am impacting the political process more than I ever have before, or thought possible. Sure, the impact is still relatively small, but this has to be handled carefully. I do not want to come across as someone on an ego trip trying to derail Ralph Nader. Let's be realistic: he will likely be the Green Party nominee, and probably should be. Am I the right person to be doing this?
I admit I thought of running for Governor of California in the last two elections. I would love to see debate shift away from "who can bash immigrants harder" and "who can put more poor people in prison," and see mainstream media forced to discuss buried ideas like maximum wage, line-item taxation, "None of the Above" on election ballots, and the true evil of Corporate Feudalism and the WTO, so why not me? Then again, why me? Free time was almost nil, and I thought Green nominee Dan Hamburg, an ex-Democratic Congressman, was a good candidate.
Green Party membership is quite diverse, covering a wide generational spectrum. I may be the last sort of person some folks want as a candidate, lest the Party and its ideas "not be taken seriously." To some, I'm as wicked as Marilyn Manson; others take me more seriously than I take myself.
So this has already been quite a learning experience. Never mind that Nader and Hamburg didn't seem to campaign much in earlier elections. (Hypocrisy dept.: Yes, I was disappointed.) People are asking for literature, photos, posters, and even videos of me performing on stage, speaking at Earth First or Mumia rallies, in Seattle, etc. I'm sorry, but I don't have any. Have you thought of trying the FBI? Bootlegs on the net?
But seriously, the flurry of requests has shown how much preparation has to be done, even for a gadfly campaign, and how annoyingly far in advance it needs to be made. All this takes a hometown support staff I simply don't have. My publicist and manager are in near-mutiny over the unexpected workload. Their plates were full already. So there is no true campaign headquarters. You're on your own.
Luckily, some supporters are getting creative. I've heard the Greens who first nominated me in New York are "showing" my spoken-word albums with a Japanese-style human shadow puppet behind a screen playing me. Now this is more in the Biafra spirit. Guerrilla theater is not only a great tool of resistance to make a point, it's fun. If you want to help, feel free to. Any cartoonists out there?
Above all, please keep in mind that while compilation albums, puppet shows, and activism are inspiring as hell, the long-term focus should not be on Jello Biafra, but on the goals and issues that bring our minds together in the first place. I wouldn't trust a personality cult surrounding me any more than I would trust anyone else's.
I hope some of people's excitement and energy will be funneled toward local election races and ballot initiatives where Green-style insurgence has had the most success so far. When Audie Bock of Oakland stunned the country by becoming the first Green Party state legislator, the local Democratic machine was caught with their pants down. They won't be this time. The California Primary ballot has two horrible initiatives that are expected to pass: Proposition 21, requiring small-time juvenile offenders to serve long sentences in adult jails, and Proposition 22, an Anti-Gay proposal. Stopping these initiatives and others like them are far more important than Jello Biafra for President.
Jim Hightower and others predict that it will take at least one or two more election cycles for the Greens, New Party, Natural Law party, and others to merge into a cohesive and effective force. So why the counterproductive split between the Greens/Green Party USA and the Association of State Green Parties? I don't know the inner details, and I'm not sure I want to. I don't even know which flavor of Green I am. I joined because I liked the overall vision and the genuine impact of the Greens in Europe. Heed Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" Enough lefty hair-splitting. If I must take sides, here is mine: Children, stop bickering, and go to your room.
I'm told this split is between Greens who want to concentrate on elections and activism vs. Greens who want to concentrate solely on elections. I say do both! You can't have one without the other. It takes activism to inspire people that they can change things for the better--and inspire them to vote.
There is no magic leader like Nelson Mandela or Vaclav Havel on the horizon to lead us to the promised land. This country is too vast and too complicated. We all need to be Mandela and Havel, each in our own way. The power to inspire brings with it a lot of pressure. It should be used, but not misused. I hope to inspire more and more people to get their feet wet and fight the power, from inside and outside the system. It would also be nice to record some of my songs some day and make more albums. No one can do everything they want to do full-time. Right now I'm locked in the ugliest legal battle of my life; I will not be in Washington, D.C. for Seattle sequel Number One: The International Monetary Fund/World Bank meetings, starting April 16, so go in my place!
Now here is what I sent to St. Louis. A lot of it may be familiar. Hopefully it will be worthwhile. Further thoughts on the WTO and the aftermath of Seattle are on my No WTO Combo live music CD, featuring Kim from Soundgarden and Krist from Nirvana, that was recorded during the event. It comes out in May.
Jello Biafra's Statement for Synthesis/Regeneration magazine:
I am surprised and honored to be drafted as a nominee. I have been an artist/activist since 1978. I was the leader and creative force of pioneering punk band Dead Kennedys. I have owned and operated a small business, Alternative Tentacles Records. We are now celebrating our Twentieth Anniversary. I ran for Mayor of San Francisco in 1979, placing fourth out of ten candidates. I was the main target in the first criminal trial over a record album in American history. The jury deadlocked and the charges were dismissed. This vaulted me into the national media and lecture circuit as a spokesman on civil liberties. I have locked horns with Tipper Gore, Pat Buchanan, Oprah Winfrey, and many Religious Right activists on this issue. Besides music, I have released five spoken word CD sets that boil down and promote many ideas dear to Greens: human rights, freedom of speech, the Gulf War, the Drug War/Prison-Industrial Complex, globalization and the WTO, and a newer emphasis on how to fight back. I have been registered Green for many years, and support the Green Key Values and Platform. But how do we implement and sell (Yes, sell. This is Disney-addled America) our key values and programs to the general public?
A few ideas:
Enact a maximum wage Great idea. When I got it aired on Politically Incorrect I was roundly booed by audience and guests alike. The host told the viewers I was crazy before he even said my name. People assume they are the ones who will be hurt when the big bad government hits the middle class with another evil tax. So let's be generous: No taxes up to $100,000; after that it's payback time. And emphasize the payback--free health care, free education (including amnesty on student loans), free transportation (including air travel), and more. Revenue will be used for the many costly programs in the Green platform and long over-due public works projects; also vastly increased subsidies for the arts, especially community radio and television; subsidies for independent organic farms, hemp and kanaf farms (to end dependence on paper from forests), and solar and windmill farms to decrease our fossil fuel gluttony. Urban blight can be further eradicated by legalizing and subsidizing squatters who fix up long-vacant buildings. This has worked well in Europe when given a chance; think of what it could do for places like St. Louis or Richmond, VA. Speed up conversion to electric buses, trucks, a national high-speed rail system; and , of course, electric cars. We don't need a flat tax, but a flattening tax, to truly level the playing field. After all, what causes more damage to the planet, drug addiction or wealth addiction? Hopefully the maximum wage will raise enough money to fill the cups of everyone who makes less than $100,000 so we'll all be even. And can we please find a clearer, sexier term than "single-payer health care" next time it�s a ballot initiative? We must close all hemorrhaging tax loopholes that benefit giant corporations, including organized religion. Taxpayers should also be given a multiple choice of the ten or fifteen major areas of government to decide what percentage of their tax money goes where. My guess is that education and the environment will go straight up, and the arms race and prison expansion will go straight down.
Abolish the Military And the CIA, NSA, DIA, DEA, ATF, hopefully the FBI, and disband all SWAT teams. Our biggest national security threat is the environmental destruction of our planet and the arms race with ourselves. So let�s use the defense budget, personnel, and know-how for a new mission: clean up toxic waste, rebuild cities and infrastructure, dismantle all nuclear arms and satellites, and implement worldwide the very environmental and labor practices Third World WTO delegates complained are too costly.
Withdraw from NAFTA and the World Trade Organization. Wealth addicts have gotten carried away; now it's time for rehab. Earlier in our history there were strict laws mandating public hearings and revocations of charters of corporations for misconduct, and restricting board of directorships to one corporation per person. Let's bring these laws back. Irradiated and GM (Genetically Mutilated) frankenfood and other products must be labeled. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 should be repealed immediately. And workers should be allowed to elect their bosses.
End the war on drugs Decriminalize marijuana and illegal narcotics such as heroin, cocaine, and crack. Hard-core addiction is an illness, not a crime. Put users on prescription, and crime will drop dramatically when they don't have to rob and kill people to pay the Mob's high drug prices. Any president or governor can stop the prison-building boom right now by commuting sentences for minor, non-violent drug offenders to time served. Why not pressure them to do it? The same goes for the death penalty. I have chosen Mumia Abu-Jamal, a noted author, journalist, and activist currently on Death Row in Pennsylvania on questionable charges, as my vice presidential running mate to show why we should join the rest of the civilized world and halt executions forever.
I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself. We still need government to transfer the wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little, to make sure important projects get done, and keep territorial humans from screwing over and killing each other.
So guess what? I'm Tough On Crime�, especially when the punishment fits the crime: Sentence slum lords to live in their own buildings. Sentence polluters to inhale and swim in the mess they've made until they clean it up. Sentence Savings and Loan sharks and white collar gangstas from our recent bank deregulation to pay back all the money they steal, just like if they held up a 7-11. Sentence arms dealers and manufacturers to pay for rebuilding all the places destroyed by the by the wars they help start.
End Police Brutality Make police officers stand for election every four years, voted on by the districts they patrol.
Lower the Voting Age to Five See youth apathy magically turn around when they know they have a real stake in their future; and get to vote for their school boards, and why not their teachers?
Education Reform Including a mandatory class on parenting and offer drug and sex education using actual drugs and sex in class. Showing how it's done with an emphasis on sensitivity could do wonders for combating sexism and date rape. Joycelyn Elders is right: teaching masturbation is far more realistic than expecting today's libidinous teens to bury their heads in abstinence. Meanwhile, nothing gets bigger laughs at parties than our rigid Drug Czar's TV ads. To put it mildly: they don't work. Students should be able to experiment with drugs in a supervised and controlled setting to learn their limits, not sent blindly off on their own into the risks of hard core addiction.
Election Reform State and national legislative elections should be switched to a parliamentary system with proportional representation. Campaign time should be limited to six weeks. Anyone campaigning or soliciting bribes, excuse me, contributions, beforehand will be automatically disqualified. Ballots in all elections should include the option of voting None of the Above. If NOTA gets over 50% of the vote, a new election must be held with all new candidates.
Other Proposals: Limit junk mail to one 3 x 5 card per mailing. Ban drug and lie-detector tests of employees and students, and forbid the drugging of schoolchildren against their will. Give out giant waterproof Yuppie Parasite decals containing a skull and crossed cell-phones to be plastered by concerned citizens on all sport utility vehicles until they are eradicated from urban and suburban areas. Convert giant sports stadiums into homeless shelters until the maximum wage imposed on today's sports stars funds the necessary low-income housing. Fight gentrification by allowing those under siege to spray whipped cream on those who flaunt their upwardly mobile invader status until the interlopers leave town.
I apologize to those who feel I should wage a more aggressive campaign. I did not expect to be nominated, and I am locked in my own battle against globalization that has been a huge strain on my time, emotions, and resources. Former members of my old band are suing me with the expressed intent of wiping out 22 years of work because I wouldn't allow them to put one of our best known songs in a Levi's Dockers TV commercial. Trial begins April 17. Plus, I voted for Ralph Nader last time, and would gladly vote for him again. Should I have let my name be on the ballot at all? Ever since I ran for mayor, I have proven to be an effective media magnet and lightening rod for protest votes reaching far beyond the underground popularity of my work. On the other hand, should a flamboyant artist and prankster be the main banner-carrier at this point? Or would more progress be made by only running "serious" candidates? Events in Seattle and around the globe show there are far more people on our side of the fence than we give credit for. What does it say about our country when people are so desperate for an alternative to our one-party state masquerading as a two-party state that they'll even elect a professional wrestler governor? Steelworkers and eco-activists are marching together. People are questioning whether it is more important to live in a "marketplace" than a community. They question whether "competitiveness" is more important than compassion and quality of life. More and more young people see corporations as an authority figure to rebel against, instead of buying into every manufactured pop trend. The spread of Students Against Sweatshops on college campuses is important--not just because the battle is right, but because it is winnable. A step by step approach makes greater change seem less hopeless. In my own small way I try to inspire people to at least start thinking about what they might do and where they would fit in if we actually found ourselves in charge. For all their faults, at least the front line opposition in places like the Czech Republic and South Africa had some idea of how they would actually run things if and when they had the chance. We're not there yet. Splitting into two competing Green Parties is just plain childish.
Don't hate the media, become the media Film-maker Michael Moore is right: we must spend less time arguing and agreeing with each other, and more time reaching out to people who may not appear to agree with us, but often share the same underlying concerns. These issues aren't left versus right, they are the top against the bottom. No one who is down-sized out of a job should be allowed to fall for Pat Buchanan. Putting food on the table is the number one wedge issue of growing concern for everyone. We need to show the step by step ways each individual can help free themselves from Corporate Feudalism. Condensing and translating the Green Party Platform from lawyer-ese into English, Español, etc. would be a big help here. We must emphasize the importance of voting in local elections, where a smaller group of concerned citizens can make the most difference. Some people not yet weaned from today's Democratic Party will try to intimidate us, calling us spoilers who siphon away votes, and tip close races to Republicans. I say, "Great!" Let's do it some more. The real spoilers are operatives like Clinton, Gore, Feinstein, and the Democratic Leadership Council, rendering their party indistinguishable from the party of Bu$h, Inc., and thus making the Greens, New Party, and others necessary in the first place. As it stands now, we are being farmed. Imagine what we can do if we gain enough seats in legislatures to influence the balance of power and decision making. Imagine what we can do if we get the necessary 5% of the vote in this presidential election to gain federal matching funds for 2004. This is all more than possible, even under current election laws.
Join the Green Wedge!
Jello's Original Statement January 24, 2000:
January 24, 2000 /Alternative Tentacles/ -- Much to his surprise, Jello Biafra was nominated for the Green Party Presidential Primary in New York State. Biafra, former lead singer/songwriter of the seminal political punk band Dead Kennedys, accomplished spoken word performer, and renowned social commentator, will be an official candidate in the March 7 election. Also on the ballot are consumer advocate Ralph Nader, Stephen Gaskin, founder of The Farm - a commune in Tennessee, and Joel Kovel, a doctor, peace activist, and college professor.
No stranger to politics, Jello Biafra ran against Diane Feinstein in the 1979 San Francisco Mayoral race, where he finished in fourth place with over six thousand votes (3.5% of the total). In June 1986, criminal charges for "Distribution of Harmful Matter to Minors" against Dead Kennedys' Frankenchrist album thrust Biafra into the spotlight as a spokesperson on First Amendment rights. It marked the first case in history to try a recorded work for obscenity. The trial ended in a hung jury and the judge ultimately dismissed the case.
Biafra joined forces with other concerned musicians, including Frank Zappa, to combat the PMRC (Parent's Music Resource Center), an organization dedicated to forcing the de-facto censorship of musical lyrics. Biafra locked horns with PMRC leader Tipper Gore twice on the Oprah Winfrey Show; he has also appeared on Donahue, Crossfire, and Politically Incorrect. After numerous musical and spoken word albums, Biafra continues to perform internationally, stirring his fans with scathing political insights paired with razor sharp wit.
Biafra is owner/founder of Alternative Tentacles Records, a respected independent label. ATR recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary, and boasts more than two hundred, often controversial, releases to date.
Jello Biafra, a registered Green Party member in California for several years, has chosen Mumia Abu-Jamal, an award-winning journalist currently in prison on death row, as his vice-presidential running mate. This decision will focus attention on Abu-Jamal's case and on opposition towards the death penalty in general.
For further information concerning the Green Party (including volunteer positions) contact Craig Seeman at (718)797-0045 or email@example.com. Direct press inquiries ONLY related to Jello Biafra or Alternative Tentacles Records to Michelle at (415)282-9784 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jello Biafra's manager can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
We do not have merchandise for this.
The following list outlines the other key points of Biafra's platform. Biafra does not plan to actively campaign.
Jello Biafra's Platform for 2000 Green Party Presidential Primary (State of New York - March 7):
- Enactment of a maximum wage - Payback through free healthcare, education and public transportation - Withdrawal of the US from NAFTA and the World Trade Organization, ideally forcing their dissolution - A moratorium (or at least mandatory labeling) of irradiated and genetically engineered "frankenfood" - End the "War on Drugs", disband the DEA, and commute the prison sentences of all small time drug offenders to "time served" - Abolish the military and CIA, and destroy all nuclear weapons - Shift the United States Government to Parliamentary rule, with proportional representation, and a sixty day limit on election campaigns - "None of the Above" option on all ballots, whereby a majority of dissatisfied voters can force a new election - Allow taxpayers to choose exactly where the government directs their money - Citizen election of police officers - Legalize squatting in abandoned buildings - Eradicate all SUV's!!!!!!!!

RufasGate is a combination of the Portal and Sokoban games. Using stargate terminology, there are Zero Point Modules (ZPMs) that power the portal guns, which in turn create the two ends of a temporary and short range wormhole, a shortcut through space-time, that allows obstacles to be bypassed. In order to empower the portal guns, all cylindrical ZPMs must be bumped onto their base receptacles. There are currently only four levels, and no way to save a game. RufasGate is also a testbed for learning/illustrating various modern OpenGL techniques including cubemaps, water reflections, sound, and glsl shader capabilities. And for anyone planning to use SDL2, it illustrates key-mapping, to get improved keyboard responsiveness from SDL.

A festive party calls for a little more makeup than your everyday swipe of lip gloss, and it's surprisingly easy to liven up your look and still be out the door in a flash.
By Stephanie Tweito Jacob
Summer and warm weather bring countless seasonal delights: sundresses, ice-cream trucks and picnics, to name a few. Unfortunately, a few bummers usually tag along, including oily skin and melting makeup.
Even if you usually have normal or dry skin, hot weather can mean shiny, oily complexions and makeup that slip-slides away. During summer, "there's more humidity in the air, so even though skin doesn't actually produce more oil, the oil sits on the surface longer and may mix with sweat so your face feels greasier," explains Heidi Waldorf, a dermatologist and the director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
Fortunately, you don't need to set up camp in front of the AC to stay looking fresh. Follow these easy tips to keep shine and makeup under control:
1. Lighten up your skin care.With more moisture in the air, you don't need as much on your skin. Switch to lighter lotions or skip moisturizer altogether and just use a light sunblock, says Waldorf. At night, only apply moisturizer where skin seems dry. "You may need it on your cheeks and neck, but not on your nose or forehead, where you have more oil glands," she adds.
To prevent excess oil from clogging pores, use a salicylic acid or exfoliating cleanser every other day, suggests Waldorf. Just don't overdo it. If your skin feels dry or tight, you may have stripped away all the natural oils, and your body could start compensating by producing more oil.
2. Adjust your makeup routine.As with skin care, a few simple tweaks can fight oily skin and deliver stay-put makeup:
3. Touch up throughout the day.In spite of your best efforts, skin may become a bit oily by midday. Pick up excess shine by pressing a tissue or blotting paper on oily spots, then follow with a light dusting of translucent mineral powder, says Campbell-Olwell. If you don't remove the oil first, the powder may look cakey or darker in the oiliest areas. For an easy-to-use, portable powder, choose a one-step package that holds the powder in the handle of the brush and dispenses it through the bristles.
If your concealer has migrated into fine lines, redistribute it with your fingers. Always wash and dry your hands first to avoid adding more oil or dirt to your face. Then, carefully glide and tap your finger under and around your eyes. Reset the makeup with mineral powder, and you'll be good to go!

All women in Dover Afb DE 19902 like to adorn themselves with jewelry; the kind of jewelry items they buy heavily depends upon their budget, taste and occasion for which they are selecting. To cater for these different needs, you will find a variety of jewelers in Dover Afb DE 19902 who offer a selection of fine jewelry items to people in Dover Afb DE 19902 belonging to different classes.
The most common types of jewelers are those who are seen at department stores in Dover Afb DE 19902. Their branches are spread across the country as chains of the same store. These jewelers are not as exclusive as the designer ones, but they surely offer reputable service and you can find some really great items at low prices. The biggest advantage of dealing with these jewelry stores is that they will have the same array or selection of jewelry items in their other branches. So if you have selected something from their website or their catalogue, you are likely to find it in one of their branches near you.
Next up are the jewelers who only sell their jewelry items through online stores. They have a chance of reaching customers belonging to different places. You cannot try out their individual pieces to see if they fit right or not, but you can avail some irresistible deals that you are only going to find on the online stores. Because these jewelers don't have a proper showroom or boutique in Dover Afb DE 19902, they are able to offer the jewelry on a lower price than most department store jewelers.
Independent jewelry boutiques are one step lower to the exclusive designer jewelry and are therefore also a bit cheaper than what the luxury jewelers have to offer. Nonetheless, these jewelry items are often amongst the time-honored classics. Most of the jewelry sold at such independent jewelry boutiques is, no doubt, expensive but it is still worth the money because of the customized designs and the excellent personalized customer service that it comes with.
Last up, and of course not the least are the luxury jewelers in Dover Afb DE 19902 who offer delicate and exquisite jewelry pieces to their high-end customers. The most charming fact about these jewelry items is that they are rare and certainly exclusive; they might be expensive beyond reasonable limits for some, but they sure are head-turners and a point of envy for others.

AquaClear Hang on back filters provide three way mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration. They are powerful and quite quiet. They also feature a flow control knob, perfect for feeding time.
Works pretty good. Has plenty of space to put extra media. Super quiet.------------------------------CORRECTED video of my fish. This link works. For sure. Really.
20g long: 4 panda cories, 1 honey gourami, 1 apistogramma borellii, 1 male cacatuoides
20g High: 3 bolivian rams, 12 rasboras
8g hex: empty
5g: empty
I use these on all my tanks, they are very flexible and can accomodate a wide variety of filter media. They are not as good as some canisters, but at a fraction of the price they are well worth it, especially if you are on a budget.
The best HOBs out there IME.
These are my favorite HOB filters commonly available.
I've used the bio wheels before and the AC110 is superior imo. It turns over some 500 and some odd gallons of water each hour. There is enough movement that I don't have any "dead" spots in the water. It is quiet which is good because noisy filters just drive me nuts. The media basket is very flexible as far as what you want to put into it. I've been very pleased with this filter.------------------------------You can't play nice with people who don't play by the rules!
I bought the Aquaclear 50 to replace my BIO-wheel, last year. So far I am very happy with my purchase. I love the adjustablity of the water flow, how quiet it is compared to the BIO-wheel and also the space inside to put extra filter media. I was able to put a phosphate reducing pad inside without compromising the fit of the other filter media. So far I have not had any problems. :)
The only thing that was frustrating was the set up, for the first time. I was used to the simple BIO wheel setup, so it took a bit to understand the different media, their use and how to put it together. After first time its simple.------------------------------*Keep Smiling, It Makes People Wonder What Your Up To*
55 Gallon--On Hold, In Storage...
20 Gallon High--Tetra and Cory's
5 Gallon Hex--Guppies (3 Female, 2 Male)
2.5 Gallon Mini Bow--Future ADF Habitat
The best HOB filter. It creates a strong flow. The internal setup allows for a lot of media options to suit the users needs. The filter can be loud when the water level is low. Provides good filtration on all 3 levels.------------------------------
- 29g FW - Community - Congo Tetras and a mated pair Kribensis
- 55g SW - Royal Gramma, 6-Line Wrasse, 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, and various corals and inverts
I would recommend the Aquaclear filters over any other HOB filters on the market...and I have used just about all of the major competitors products.-------------------------------Jordan
Gar connaisseur
Predatory Tank:
20" Tropical Gar, 18" Florida Gar, 20" Longnose Gar,
17" Ornate Bichir, 25" Silver Arowana, 16" Bowfin, 15" Giant Gourami
16" Male Dovii
Sometimes noisy and a bit expensive all around great filter... And its hold's a lot of media which is great!
Best readily available HOB filter! I have a Aquaclear 20 for my 10 gallon tank. Has lots of room for filter medium and includes ceramic beads for biological filtration. Reliable and reasonably quiet, although I think it's a bit louder than my Whisper filter. At only 5-10 dollars more than the Whisper filter, it's worth the extra money.------------------------------20 gallon tank - harlequin rasboras, rummynose tetras, panda corys, one lone pygmy cory that didn't die when the others did.
10 gallon tank - planned planted with tetras and red cherry shrimp?
This is a good option for my QT tank.
The sponge filter was keeping my boy up at night (noise from air pump, bubbling).. :)------------------------------75g - 20 cardinals : 7 panda cory : 5 Julii cory : 9 zebra danios : 1 CAE : 2 SAE : 2 yo-yos : 1 BN
25g: 5 long-finned zebra danios
As far as Hobs go this is the go-to filter. Good flow rates, simple but effective design and easily changeable and affordable media keep AC customers coming back when they can afford to.
These filters are the pricey-ist of theyre genre, but well worth it IMO.
This filter does not tolerate small amounts of sand or dirt well. They can become noisy easier than most filters and need cleaning often to resolve the issue.------------------------------

I prefer this HOB to my whisper and tetra brands, it's sleeker than the whisper which means I can get the tank closer to the wall and it doesn't stick out as much, though I can't put things on top of it. It's pretty nifty to look at and only becomes loud when one of my fish kicks up some sand.
I'm running an old AC 200, been working for 20 some odd years and still functions great. Definitly a good filter. Looked at getting a few others but the price dettered me and ended up getting cheaper brands, beginning to regret it now.
I've had my AC110 for 3 years and it still works perfect, on the other hand, both of my bio-wheels broke within the first 6 months and are now very loud due to a damaged impeller housing! the aquaclear is also perfect for putting medicine in a tank because all you have to do is take the carbon bag out, unlike the bio-wheels pads that have the carbon attached (sorry lol that really bothers me)
I run these filters on 6 of my 14 tanks. They are noise-free for the most part except when the impellor begins to clog, which is infrequent if you are to use a sponge prefilter on the inlet. Maintenance is a snap, the motor assembly twists off and allows easy access to the impellor. Replacement parts are reasonably priced and easily accessible. Media capacity is outstanding and is as flexible as you have need. I have yet to have one of these filters malfunction over years of constant use.------------------------------8 tanks running now:
1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon
Gouramis, barbs, rasboras, plecos, corys, tetras, fancy guppies, swordtails, ottos, rainbow shark, upside-down catfish, snails, and Max and Sparkles the bettas.
This is, over all, the best hang-on power filter I've ever owned. It's extremely versatile in that you can use any media (or combination of) in it that you want, unlike the cartridge types, which don't have space for anything but the replacement cartridge. It's also very easy to service and fairly quiet, as well, and you can decrease the flow for tanks with fish that don't like strong water currents, without losing filtering capacity, since the filter is designed to recirculate a portion of the water when you cut back the flow output, effectively filtering a portion of the water over again, which equals even cleaner water. I also like the transparent body, which allows you to see when the media needs cleaning. I can't think of any negatives. I highly recommend this filter.

TORONTO — Julius Ciss and Rabbi Michael Skobac are well-known among "messianic Jews," and when Ciss showed up at a recent program in a seniors residence, organizers asked him to leave.
For years, Ciss and Rabbi Skobac have been monitoring the activities of organizations targeting Jews, showing up at their meetings and conferences with a counter-message: that the "messianic" community is not offering Jews a different way to fulfil their Judaism, but are enticing people to adopt the Christian faith.
What particularly concerns them is the "deceptive" manner in which recruitment is conducted: the flyer advertising the Chanukah program made no mention of the fact that the sponsor was a Christian organization. In fact, they say, in keeping with Christian outreach efforts to Jews, it misleadingly makes it appear the event is Jewish, when it's not.
"We want to show people that it's not a Jewish event," Ciss said in an interview in Jews for Judaism's cramped quarters. "It's a missionary event."
Though the event included Jewish traditions, like lighting candles and singing songs, the missionaries provide followup literature hoping to entice participants into, eventually, "believing in Jesus," Ciss said.
Displaying plenty of chutzpah, Ciss stood at a window outside the meeting room, holding a sign informing participants that what the event they were attending was not really kosher.
Though Jews for Judaism Canada employed a low-tech media message on that occasion, it has increasingly turned to more up-to-date digital formats to counter missionary activities.
Evangelists have already adopted Facebook and Twitter to recruit. "They see it as incredibly fertile grounds for them," Rabbi Skobac said. Their spin is to position Jesus as the full and final expression of Judaism and not as an alternative religion.
Jews for Judaism has placed a video on YouTube addressing that argument. It has paid for an ad on Google that takes viewers to YouTube with video of lectures and TV appearances by Rabbi Skobac. "We're getting incredible results," he said, with 120,000 views in April alone and more than 50,000 on KosherTube.
Rabbi Skobac, who had to "get schlepped onto Facebook," now has 4,300 friends. "We do a lot of Jews for Judaism work through Facebook. We get 10 inquiries a day through our Facebook portal," he said.
Using 21st-century media techniques helps Jews for Judaism keep the fight on a level playing field, but Ciss and Rabbi Skobac believe missionary groups are deceptive in their fundamental message. They wouldn't otherwise leave out the sponsoring group when they publicize ostensibly Jewish events.
The recent event at a Toronto seniors residence was one such example, they said. A Hamilton messianic congregation likewise publicized an ostensibly Jewish event in a flyer without including any mention of the sponsoring organization, Ciss stated.
"It's not making it clear that it's a Christian organization trying to convert you to Christianity," Rabbi Skobac said.
Chosen People Ministries recently held a training session, and "many of this year's participants are Filipinos, many of them caregivers in Jewish homes and senior residences," Rabbi Skobac said.
"We've always known that missionaries target seniors and people in nursing homes," he continued. "Caregivers who are proselytizing is going on worldwide. These are people who are often religious" and want to share their beliefs. "They don't want that poor old Jewish person to go to hell if they don't embrace Jesus," he said.
"Missionaries see caregivers as potential recruiters to target people who are vulnerable," he added. "We're not trying to create a panic, to imply that all Filipino caregivers are a problem, just to make people aware this is going on. Knowledge is power."
There are some 180 missionary groups operating in North America, including some that consist of Jews who've converted.
"It is not diminishing," Ciss said.
"It is not as if these people are trying but not succeeding," Rabbi Skobac continued. "It's a lot of work to convert the small numbers of people converting."
Sometimes the effort begins innocuously enough, with missionaries spending time in coffee shops in Jewish neighbourhoods, reading their Bibles and trying to start conversations about Scripture. Another tactic is to send a couple of dozen missionaries to the annual Walk for Israel. They'd wear a T-shirt that stated, "Ask me about my rabbi," or "I love [using a heart] Yeshua," the Hebrew name for Jesus.
When it comes right down to it, the primary message of missionaries is not one of biblical interpretation. "You might get the impression it's all about Bible verses. Our experience has been that generally Jews don't convert to Christianity because of what the Bible says. It's for other reasons. Usually, it's feeling a spiritual vacuum," Rabbi Skobac said.
It's the same reason some Jews explore Buddhism. The problem is "they don't know much about Judaism; they had a shallow religious experience. They have a hole in the soul," he said.
They feel Christianity provides a spiritual outlet and "once they embrace Christianity, they get interested in the Bible."
"Jews for Judaism exposes them to Jews who take God seriously, who pray to God every day and not necessarily from a prayer book.
"We get them to know who we are as people of faith and let them see there is something outside of the church.
"They're afraid. They're on a lifeboat and [they fear] if they step off, there's nothing there. We show Judaism's spiritual side."
"We spread the word that Judaism has this stuff… that Jewish teachings affect the core of our lives."

Valuable tax credits listed by the IRS
The Internal Revenue Service has listed some credits on its website that can cut your tax bill or boost your refund.
According the IRS, tax credits can help you pay the cost of raising a family, going to college, saving for retirement or getting daycare so you can work or go to school. The agency suggests that you review your records now and see if you can get one of these popular but often-overlooked credits.
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): If you?re trying to make ends meet on about $41,000 or less, you may be eligible. The EITC helps low- and moderate-income workers and working families.
Child Tax Credit: If you have a dependent under 17, you probably qualify. This credit is in addition to the regular exemption you can claim for each dependent.
Credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses: If you pay someone to care for your child so you can work or look for work, you probably qualify. Care for a spouse or dependent who cannot care for himself or herself also qualifies.
Education Credits: The Hope credit and the lifetime learning credit help parents and students pay for post-secondary education.
Saver's Credit: This credit helps low-and moderate-income workers save for retirement. Put money in an IRA or 401(k) and you may be able to get this credit.

my guess, that the problem is that whole file is encoded as ANSI:

There have been some improvements in that area (codepage support) in QCAD 3.1.4.
Dmitry, could you check if that problem still persists?

Null founded the group in their home town of Tokyo in 1987 but Zeni Geva quickly found a dedicated fan base here in the U.S.. Their popularity in the west enabled them to be one of the first Japanese "noise" bands to tour the States three different times with bands like the Pain Teens, Melvins, Crash Worship, Ed Hall and Shellac. In 1994 they successfully completed a forty city tour of Europe and in September of '95 they completed tours of New Zealand and Australia, proving that ZG is gaining a worldwide audience! 1995 and 1996 saw them tour Europe, the US, and Japan!
As they continue to create and innovate, Zeni Geva remain in the forefront of this still-emerging genre of noise outfits. Their latest release on A.T., Freedom Bondage, represents Zeni Geva's eleventh full-length album overall, their third release for Alternative Tentacles. Freedom Bondage showcases the ever-familiar earsplitting, grinding guitar attack and nihilistic imagery that have made their past recordings sought-after items and their live shows legendary events. However, their latest recordings contain surprising forays into territory previously never explored and features the considerable engineering talents of longtime friend and ZG collaborator, Steve Albini.
Industrious and relentless as always, Zeni Geva seem to be everywhere these days, and are surely a mountainous sonic force to be reckoned with! Keep an eye open because they definitely will be assaulting a P.A. near you, and you won't want to miss being apart of the pummelling! Their ear-splitting guitar attack and nihilistic imagery have made their past recordings sought-after items and their live shows legendary events - ask anyone who attended one of the shows on their last U.S. tour. If you missed them last time, you may now redeem yourself and witness the legendary Zeni Geva demolish a sound system near you. You can thank us later.

|Victory for Soner Sentürk and his Pinar Karsiyaka teammates on Tuesday night assures their ticket to the next round of the EuroChallenge
The penultimate day of EuroChallenge Last 16 action brought smiles to Pinar Karsiyaka, BCM Gravelines Dunkerque and Telekom Baskets Bonn, who punched their ticket to the quarter-final play-offs.
Krasnye Krylia from Group K and EWE Baskets Oldenburg from Group L already reserved their tickets in Week 4 action, meaning there are still three spots up for grabs and their holders will be determined on the final day of action next week.
The cities of Izmir and Ventspils lie far away from each other, but their basketball teams share a fundamental character trait.
Neither Pinar Karsiyaka nor BK Ventspils, who met in Turkey in the Week 5 Game of the Week on Tuesday night, are star-laden outfits assembled to walk the red carpet.
They are both cohesive groups of blue-collar men who are constantly mobile and play such a hard-nosed and aggressive defence they can make any opponent go dizzy while just trying to pass the ball around, and leave them with the feeling they just got hit by a truck.
The only problem with this approach is that every one of their five players needs to maintain 100% intensity for every single second he spends on the floor, and for most of the first half of their Tuesday encounter, only Karsiyaka achieved this.
The Turkish side did so well in fact that they took a 52-34 lead at the interval, but their guests remembered they can also play this way when the two gladiators returned from the locker rooms.
Ventspils stepped it up and forced the hosts to take bad shots or commit turnovers, to reduce the gap to just three points at the start of the fourth frame on two Folarin Campbell free throws.
But Karsiyaka had one more card up their sleeve and reserved it for the clutch. They passed the ball inside on every critical position, making the most of their advantage in size and physicality in the paint and center William Thomas scored 10 of his crucial points from that point onwards.
The hosts clinched an 84-75 win to secure first place in the group and, most importantly, a ticket to the quarter-finals, with Thomas also collecting 11 boards to finish with a double-double in points and rebounds, while his frontcourt partner Abdul Aminu led all scorers with 16 points alongside seven rebounds.
In the other game of the group, Gaz Metan Medias were left staring in disbelief on the scoreboard that showed they had just been beaten, 79-75, at Joensuun Kataja.
The Finnish side were trailing by 13 points at the start of the final frame, but their fans never stopped believing in the comeback and spurred them on to a 30-13 run that turned the tables.
Jermaine Flowers led the charge for Kataja with 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Ventspils will follow Karisyaka into the play-offs if they defeat Medias next week in Romania while Kataja will hope the Latvians lose and at the same time they beat Karsiyaka. Medias from their side need the win over Ventspils and a Kataja loss to Karsiyaka to go through.
|Miklós Szabó had a solid performance under the boards Szolnoki Olaj, picking up 12 rebounds to keep his team's hopes of progression alive
BCM Gravelines Dunkerque arrived in Levallois on Tuesday night, fresh off their triumph in the French Leaders Cup on Sunday with two pieces of important info in their minds.
First, that they could punch their ticket to the EuroChallenge quarter-finals if they pulled off a third win this season over their French rivals.
The second, that their opponents' top-two scorers, Sean May and Jawad Williams, had both picked up a knock in Saturday's French Leaders Cup semi-final and were doubtful for the game.
Both players had suited up, but when it became clear that neither would be in Paris's starting line-up and BCM started off on a 15-2 run, the visitors must have thought that clinching victory and, by extension, their passage to the play-offs, would be a walk in the park.
None of the two Americans stepped on the court on Tuesday at any point in the encounter, but BCM had anything but a free ride.
Led by the orchestra conductor Andrew Albicy, who dished out a season-high 12 assists, a host of Paris second fiddles stepped up on offence to compensate for the absence of their two team-mates.
The hosts came back in the second quarter and the reminder of the game turned into a nerve-wrecking affair with the lead changing hands on every other possession, in perhaps the most suspense-packed clash in the EuroChallenge this season.
Paris leveled the scores at 76; 42 seconds from the end of regulation, and Dwight Buycks missed a three-point shot that could have won it for the visitors, forcing the game to go into overtime.
The two opponents exchanged blows in the extra period until John Cox dunked with authority to give the hosts an 86-85 lead with 26 seconds on the clock.
Just like at the end of regulation, Buycks missed a potentially game-winning shot with just over a second left but this time around, Deus ex Machina, also known as Yannick Bokolo, grabbed the offensive rebound and scored, to gift BCM the win at the death.
Bokolo capped off an outstanding display with that basket, as he had 11 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals, while Kennedy Winston led all scorers with 25 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the field.
BCM improved to 4-1 and will also clinch top spot in the group if they beat Hapoel Unet Holon on the final day, while Paris will face off with Szolnoki Olaj, both at 3-2, in a do-or-die clash for the other ticket from the group.
The Hungarians defeated the already eliminated Holon side 81-66, despite a massive performance by Last 16 Week 5 MVP Franklin Hassell, who had 24 points and six rebounds in a losing effort.
James Florence led all Szolnoki scorers with 20 points whilst center Miklós Szabó had 12 rebounds to go with his nine points.
|Tofas SC forward Tomislav Ruzic had 19 points in his side's Group K clash
Tofas Bursa were playing with their backs to the wall on Tuesday and while nerves were obvious throughout the entire encounter, they managed to hold on to defeat Norrköping Dolphins 76-70 at home and stay in contention for a spot in the play-offs.
The hosts led for most of the clash and even took an 11-point lead early in the second quarter, but that was the biggest distance they would put between themselves and their guests all night, as things stayed too close for comfort the rest of the way.
Second-chance points was what ultimately tipped the balance in the Turkish side's favour, as they grabbed 13 offensive rebounds and compensated for the slightly better shooting percentages of their Swedish guests.
One Tofas player who shot well from both two-point and three-point range was Tomislav Ruzic, who finished with 19 points, four rebounds and two assists.
The Croatian forward had plenty of support from center Chinemelu Elonu who collected a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double, while Swedish international Christian Maraker led all scorers with 22 points in defeat.
Taking into consideration the result in Turkey, Khimik Yuzhne were in a position to follow Krasnye Krylia into the quarter-finals if they managed to pull off a feat no team has accomplished this season, by handing the Russian side their first defeat in the EuroChallenge.
Completely focused on the task at hand, the Ukrainian team started strong and took an early 18-14 lead over their hosts in Samara and even managed to stay ahead until the interval, 36-35.
But once Krasnye Krylia decided it was time to step on the gas in the third quarter, few teams, if any at this moment in the season, would be able to keep up with them.
The Russians outscored their guests 24-10 in that period and a Khimik attempt at a comeback in the final frame was not enough to reverse the situation, as the group leaders added an 11th consecutive victory in the EuroChallenge, 76-68.
Tuesday was one of the best days Telekom Baskets Bonn have had in their EuroChallenge campaign and one of the best in their season so far in general, as they achieved a triple goal with one master stroke.
The German team took out a thorn the club had in its side since last season, when they missed out on the EuroChallenge play-offs despite finishing with the same record in their Last 16 group as Elan Chalon and Szolnoki Olaj, who eventually reached the Final Four.
They did this by securing their presence in the quarter-finals of this year's edition with one week to spare and, to put the cherry on top, they took sweet revenge on domestic rivals EWE Baskets Oldenburg by bringing their 10-game unbeaten streak to an end.
|Jamel McLean was instrumental in Telekom Baskets' Group L win, scoring 28 points
Bonn showed great determination and prevailed 92-88 on the road, in a clash that was not for the faint-hearted.
The lead changed hands no less than 12 times during the 40 minutes and Oldenburg kept fighting to preserve their perfect record until the final buzzer, but ultimately Bonn were too hard to die on the night.
They owe a lot to an ice-cool display by Jamel McLean, who delivered his best performance since joining the team during the winter break.
The forward went 8-for-9 from the field and led all scorers with 28 points, whilst five more of his team-mates scored in double digits, in an admirable collective effort.
Oldenburg had already secured their passage and the loss only hurt on a psychological level, but no doubt it will make them feel a decision they took just before the game and announced on Wednesday is more justified than ever.
The group leaders decided to bring back to the team combo guard Sean (Mustafa) Abdul-Hamid, who had a short spell with them in the autumn, as coverage for the injured-at-the-time Christopher Kramer.
"Mustafa helped us a lot previously, he showed he works hard and understands the basic structure of our game," Oldenburg coach Sebastian Machowski said.
"This will make it easier for him now to integrate quickly.
"Of course, we hope that we will be free of injuries from now on, but there is still a long way left in the season and it's better to have more options."
In the other game of the group on Tuesday, Okapi Aalstar needed to win in order to take advantage of a possible defeat of Bonn, and at least kept their part of the scenario to perfection.
With point guard Derek Raivio returning to the line-up and scoring 20 points, the Belgians enjoyed an 100-76 rout of Tsmoki Minsk.
Following this result, Okapi will take third place in the group and Minsk will finish last, regardless of what happens on the final day.

OpenCSG is a library that does image-based CSG rendering using OpenGL. CSG is short for "constructive solid geometry" and represents a modeling technique for composing shapes with 3D-primitives which are combined using volumetric boolean operations. Image-based CSG rendering means rendering CSG shapes without calculating their surface in object-space. Instead, the image of a CSG shape is composed directly in the frame-buffer of the graphics hardware by rather sophisticated stenciling and z-buffer operations.

QoSDB is a QoS registry designed for supporting QoS management in realtime SOAs. It can be exploited for gathering QoS data related to different functional behaviors of the application (application operating modes) and for predicting future performance based on historical data. A modular architecture allows for defining various models for the prediction of resource requirements under a set of conditions which has not been observed yet. This allows for achieving nearly-correct resource allocation (self-configuration) for the application with a great reduction of needed observation/benchmarking points, especially in those contexts in which the space of possible configuration parameters is big (e.g., multimedia applications supporting arbitrary resolutions). By leveraging the QoSDB, SOAs can be built with auto-tuning capabilities, for better exploitation of internal resources while guaranteeing the QoS required by users.

A student team from Oklahoma Christian University won the Statewide Student Ethics Challenge in Norman.
Another OC team placed third in the contest, which featured 16 teams from 10 universities across the state.
OC's winning team, the Aguilas, won all of its matches while its other team, the Eagles, went undefeated with one tie against a squad from the University of Oklahoma.
Both Oklahoma Christian teams advance to the Regional Ethics Bowl on Nov. 17 in San Antonio, with a chance to move on to the National Ethics Bowl in Cincinnati.
"It gives one confidence in the future when you consider that students from across our state are spending time considering the ethics involved with various situations," said Dr. Jeff Simmons, an associate professor of business at Oklahoma Christian who coaches OC's ethics teams. "I am proud to be able to work at OC where we have some of the best students you'll find anywhere."
The Statewide Student Ethics Challenge is sponsored by the Oklahoma Business Ethics Foundation, which supports initiatives promoting ethical behavior on campuses throughout the state.
The schools in the competition were OC, OU, Cameron University, Oklahoma Baptist University, Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma State University, Southern Nazarene University, the University of Central Oklahoma, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, and the University of Tulsa.
The members of OC's Aguilas team were Hannah Ketring, a junior English major from Flanagan, Ill.; Brandon McWaters, a senior history/pre-law major from Ponchatoula, La.; and Genesis Rodriguez, a senior political science major from San Antonio, Texas.
OC's Eagles team members were Christian Asbill, a junior political science major from Grapevine, Texas; Chas Carter, a sophomore English/pre-law major from Allen, Texas; and Austin Hughes, a junior management major from Tuttle, Okla.
The contest cases covered a variety of topics, including employer response to employees' personal social media sites, graffiti as free speech, student loan policy in a struggling economy, open-source citations in professor and student research, and the Family Medical Leave Act.
OC's next ethics-focused activity is the sixth-annual J.J. Millican Ethics Symposium on Nov. 13. Former NFL and NCAA football coach Gene Stallings will be the keynote speaker for the on-campus event. More information is available at www.oc.edu/stallings.
Stallings led the University of Alabama to the 1992 national championship and also served as head coach at Texas A&M University and for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals. He was a longtime assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys under head coach Tom Landry.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. Former New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger has died today. He was 86 years old. Mr. Sulzberger took over the New York Times in 1963 after his brother-in-law and predecessor died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Arthur Ochs Sulzberger was 37, the youngest publisher in the newspaper's history.
ARTHUR OCHS SULZBERGER: As I told my sister Ruth, said do I bade my first executive decision, decided not to throw up.
SIMON: For more on the legacy of Arthur Ochs Salzberger, we're joined now by NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik. David, thanks for being with us.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: Of course.
SIMON: And Arthur Salzberger took over this venerable institution in the 1960s. It had been a family-held operation since 1896. What were some of the different issues that he confronted?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, you heard the nervousness there in Salsberger's voice. The Times had just emerged from a crippling strike affecting the newspaper industry in New York, and there were, as you suggest, changing times affecting the newspaper and The Times in particular; the civil rights movement, the question of Vietnam War.
One of his first tests was being asked by John F. Kennedy, just before Kennedy's death, to remove young David Halberstam from Vietnam for his critical coverage of the effort there. Salzberger stood firm in an early test of his journalistic integrity.
SIMON: And then, of course, he made the decision for The Times to go ahead and publish the Pentagon Papers under the Nixon administration. What happened, what was at stake?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, of course, the Pentagon Papers were a secret history of the origins and the missions of the war, what had really happened, as opposed to what the American public had been told. That was a history compiled by, you know, aides under President Lyndon Baines Johnson, but kept secret. It was published under President Nixon in June, 1971. Nixon, although wasn't really about his record in Vietnam, was adamant this could not be published. His administration went to federal court to prevent publication, sought prior restraint. That is the ability to prevent newspapers from publishing before something gets into print.
The New York Times went ahead and published, and here is Salzberger at a press conference after it publishes, explaining why.
SULZBERGER: These papers, I think in our editorial said this morning, where really a part of history that should have been made available considerably longer ago, and I just didn't feel there was any breach of national security, only it was sensed that we were giving secrets to the enemy.
FOLKENFLIK: President Nixon's administration went to war with newspapers, in effect, including the Washington Post and Boston Globe, which went and published the Pentagon Papers excerpts itself after The Times was enjoined. But the Supreme Court ultimately upheld Salzberger, The Times and the right of newspapers to publish things without being prevented by the government.
SIMON: David, did he change the financial footing of The Times?
FOLKENFLIK: Very much. He was part of the effort in the 1980s to make sure that the paper had a solidly national base, not simply focused on the greater New York area. And so, he connected with readers all over the country, and as a result, picked up advertisers seeking to reach them, helping The Times for the next couple of decades have a very strong financial base.
SIMON: NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik. Thanks so much.
FOLKENFLIK: You bet. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.
