An innovative method has been developed for synthesizing aluminum-aluminum nitride nanocomposite materials wherein the reinforcing nano-sized aluminum nitride particles are formed in-situ in a molten aluminum alloy. This method, which circumvents most issues associated with the traditional ways of making nanocomposites, involves reacting a nitrogen-bearing gas with a specially designed molten aluminum alloy. The method ensures excellent dispersion of the nanoparticles in the matrix alloy, which is reflected in enhanced mechanical properties. In this thesis, the author reviews the limitations of the conventional methods of manufacturing nanocomposites and develops thermodynamic and kinetic models that allow optimizing the in-situ gas-liquid process to produce quality nanocomposite material. Also, in this thesis, the author reports the measured room temperature and elevated temperature tensile properties of materials that were made by the optimized process and compares the measured values to their counterparts obtained for the base alloy. A 75 pct. increase in room temperature yield strength is obtained when the base alloy is reinforced with one pct. nano-size aluminum nitride particles and this significant increase in yield strength is accompanied by only negligible loss of ductility.

There are all sorts of people who suffer from depression. With the following tips, you can start living your life more happily and learn healthy ways to handle your depression.
If you get too much sympathy for your depressive behavior, it may cause the behavior to continue. Look at the positive things in live and avoid or eliminate the negative things.Having hobbies or outside interests will help tremendously with depression. You can become depressed if you don't have many interests or activities you enjoy doing. You need to stay active when fighting depression, so think about taking up new hobbies. Play some basketball, start walking the dog – anything that keeps you busy and active. Regardless of what appeals to you, doing anything at all will decrease your odds of developing depression.Personal problems should be addressed and repaired if you are suffering from depression. All unresolved problems will exacerbate your depression, if left hanging there. Make an effort to solve the problems that are troubling you.If you have depression, try changing your repeated mental messages. You can no longer waste your time listening to negative thoughts, instead you need to take charge and change all of the negative things that you say in your head into a positive, even if it feels a little foolish at first. The more you repeat the positive messages, the more your mind will accept them.Stay realistic about depression pain. Check to make sure your ideas about what you are capable of are realistic. If they are excessive, adjust them. If your expectations are not realistic, you will most likely fail and send yourself into further depression.Self-help books can be beneficial when you are trying to combat depression. Self help books can offer you valuable tips that others have used effectively when dealing with their depression. They can give you new ideas and possibly give you the motivation you need to get going with feeling better. Look in your library or in book stores. You will find plenty of self-help books.Both interpersonal and cognitive behavioral therapy are effective methods for treating depression. Interpersonal therapy helps you manage your interactions with other people. With cognitive behavior therapy, you focus on changing the negative thought patterns, as well as the behaviors that trigger your depression.Getting in your vitamins and minerals ill help with your depression; vitamin B-12 will play a very large role. Getting enough B12 is important to make sure you have enough energy. You can purchase vitamin B12 supplements from your local health food store. In fact, taking this vitamin in supplement form is healthier than getting it naturally by eating large amounts of red meat. The high calories in the meat's fat can actually make you feel even worse.To be more happy, try to avoid sugary foods. This includes ones deemed to be good for you like honey or fruit juice. Sugar rushes into the bloodstream quickly – especially when compared with the complex carbohydrates found in whole grains and other unprocessed choices. This causes an energy burst from the quick inflow of carbohydrates, but results in fatigue and then depression shortly thereafter.
Don't allow the more serious conditions to take hold if you suffer from depression. Before you fall victim to things like eating disorders and suicidal thoughts, use the tips you've read here to rise above the depression and to once again experience the joy of living. Take depression seriously, and work to defeat it.

Making business cards as good neighbours practice
Here at the 'ducts there are several organisations, and as we settling in the neighbourhood we became friends with all of them. Some are open during the day, some at night, some on weekends.
We have the local Australian Football League, the Glebe Greyhounds, the Glebe District Hockey Club , a community band rehearsal room, Glebe Music Project, the local grounds keeper for the Jubilee Park oval, and the Pyrmont Ultimo Glebe Mens Shed.
This is all great folks, each providing services and engaging with community and mostly run on a volunteer basis.
We are in a new location so we had to update our business cards, same as PUG Mens Shed, who also moved in at the 'ducts with the same intake, thanks to the supported accommodation grants scheme by the City of Sydney.
As we help each other a lot down here, we decide to split a plate and print ours and PUG Mens Shed cards pro-bono, and we had fun in the process too!
You can imagine all of this old folks how interested they were in taking part in the process, curious of the workings of such a big mechanical wonder that is the Big Fag.
Below a photographic recount of the exercise, thanks Men, great working with youse and big big props to John Causley, intern form UoW, who did an amazing job withe the negotiation, design and prepress for the print. Well done, 5 stars 🙂
We'd would like to thank KW Doggett for sponsoring the paper stock for this! Thanks guys 🙂

This year, my birthday was pretty awesome. Mainly because y'all made it fabulous & because I got to do what I love all day (make pretty photographs...duh)! I held the RDU Baton instagram account, a collaborative photo project held by the wonderful people of the Triangle to let the world see how AWESOME the Triangle-area of N.C. is! I didn't have an unusually eventful day, but worked to make all my shots count! It's definitely nice to have a challenge when shooting since I haven't had that since the good ol' days of Pat the photo professor! I included the original captions beneath each photo for y'all. You can sign up to hold the baton here. Also, if interested, all shots are iPhone and I use a diverse group of photo apps and textures: Mextures, pictwo, pictapgo, vscocam, snapspeed, and squaready (although this is just a handful of what populates my 2 "photo folders" on my phone).
Hello RDU! I'm Lauren V. Allen, a local photographer based out of chapel hill! I'm also a high school photography teacher at Northern High in Durham. I always start my mornings off really early, around 6:45, at work with a cup of coffee in my "great mustaches" mug! #chapelhill #durham #latergram by @viedfinder / on Instagram http://instagram.com/p/YxR9cGjh-z/
My intermediate photography class at #Northern decided it was best to do a crazy class picture! These kids are the next movers and shakers of the photography world and have quite the eye for it! They are my #durham #babyphotoninjaz! check out my blog, viedfinder.com for some upcoming class galleries! Photo by @viedfinder / on Instagram http://instagram.com/p/Yxei5ejh8l/
I'd like to thank @google for making this girl happy with a #google #doodle! By @viedfinder #techgeek / on Instagram http://instagram.com/p/YyKKEMDh55/

Are We Alone ?
5 comments:
Welcome to the world of bloggers..Good start..ReplyDelete
Take us through the journey of humanity...
Good start...We are not alone.. but we are yet to meet the others or identify them if we have.. keep the blogs coming!ReplyDelete
Thank you இரவுப்பறவை and Manz. "Its my Story" on pipe line for next post.ReplyDelete
Nice blog SP, i like the topic you have choosen, recently me too have came to read about some of the articles about vedas, vedanga and some of the history related articles. I just read one or two articles but it was so interesting. It looks like there are lot of information written by our ancestors which is still not explored extensively.ReplyDelete
I have the same question you had, within a short span of time if modern man can invent so many hi-fi technology, why not our ancestors could have done that, it is very much possible indeed.
I really wanted to go through the historic books like vedas and vedangas and find out more. Most of articles in the net talks only about a overview of these things. It is very difficult to find detailed information about these items.
In your blog you are talking about a little different topic, it is very interesting as well and i believe it will be more interesting to explore this as well. Carry on with your good work. If you happen to know where can i find the information i am searching plese do share with me.
Happy Blogging.
Hi Muthu, It is nice to know that you are interested in Ancient Indian Texts. The best way to read the Ancient Indian Texts is by reading the hard copy of the books, In Net you can find only the summary of books or e-books of foreign authors. Finding the Original version (actually speaking in our time line we do not have the original Vedas and Epics as they were written) of Vedas and Epics on net is not possible. The better way is buying it from the book shops.ReplyDelete
The books from Bhavan's Book University, Gita Press and The Little flower company is good. Always go for the Original version of the book, if you want to do research, do not buy the ones which were written from the authors point of view. They really do write their own version (as they understood) of Epics and Vedas.
If you want to read the Vedic Science or Vedic Mathematics better go to a library, because most of the research books on vedas are very old, so you will not get them in book shops.
I do have a huge collection of books, pass by my home when you get time. We will discuss in detail.
And yes, reading Ancient Indian Texts is really an interesting job, I am also decoding them as much as I can or I understood them. More to come on this blog, then you will understand in which direction my research moves. Thanks a lot for your support.
Keep reading.

Training is one of those things in life that you either love or hate. I have always found that I'd rather be over-trained compared to under-trained, but that's just me. The question I've run up against a few times is whether I'd rather travel for outside training or be trained in house and I think I have an answer.
Inside training is easy for a number of logistical reasons. They are usually closer to you and you might know other people getting trained. There is a chance that the person conducting the training knows your specific circumstance and more about the kids you're teaching on a day-to-day basis. The downside is that I rarely come away with as many "aha" moments when I attend a local training. I feel like I see people utilizing things in a slightly different way or teaching something in a slightly different way.
Outside training is difficult from a travel perspective (usually). For instance, when I taught US History, very little content from before the Civil War happens anywhere near Texas so I had to travel at least a little bit to see actual historical sites for training. The thing that outside training offer is the potential for world class teachers who have spent years on their particular topic and hands on experiences. I got the opportunity to live and be trained on the grounds at Mount Vernon (the home of George Washington) and the hands on experience was invaluable to a beginning US History teacher. I also got to listen to a number of scholars with huge experience when it comes to US History, Mount Vernon, and George Washington.
Again, I'm pro-training in any form. That being said, take a look at some training outside of your locale and see if you can figure out the logistics to get you there. You'll be glad you did.

BOSTON — It's been lousy fastballs hit a long way. It's been being outdone by Cliff Lee. It's been failing to cover first base and letting guys score from second base. It's been a seven-pitch battle with Mike Napoli and a barrage from lefty hitters and, yes, the games that weren't entirely his fault.
On the morning of David Price's 10th postseason start, a Saturday night spotlight against New York's Masahiro Tanaka in Game 2, it remains silly to think a Cy Young winner with his pedigree can't win one. And yet, the fact that he hasn't renders the question still maddeningly valid and impossible to ignore.
"Just focus on every pitch. Take it pitch by pitch," he said on Friday before Game 1 of Sox-Yankees at Fenway Park. "Don't worry about the last one. Don't think about the next one."
Apt words that work for the larger picture as well. The numbers, plain as day on the page: 0-8, 5.74 ERA as a starter in the postseason. It blots Price's marvelous 2008, when he closed out the Red Sox in a white-hot Game 7 in St. Petersburg as a rookie, and turns his marvelous relief spin last October almost into frustration.
Why only then? Why not on the biggest big stage? There've been critical late-season victories. There've been second halves where he carried staffs — namely, this one just completed.
Some of it's stuff. Some of it's execution. Some of it is his teams never once scoring him more than four runs and, in four of nine games, scoring him no more than one. In the end, today — this October opportunity — is always the question until David Price offers the right answer.
"That's a guy I trust. We saw him pitching the second part of the season. He was probably the second-best lefty in the league after (Blake) Snell," Alex Cora said before Game 1. "The way he went about his business, he pitched against the Yankees, he pitched against the Astros, he pitched against the Indians, (and) he did a good job.
"He's ready for the challenge."
There's certainly every reason to believe that. The lefty, as noted, held the Yankees to four hits and two runs — both of which scored as inherited runners Heath Hembree couldn't erase — in six innings on Aug. 5. He whipped Cleveland for eight shutout innings in the sunshine of Aug. 23, and fanned 10 Astros over 6.1 on Sept. 7.
For a 21-start stretch from May 12 to Sept. 12, Price averaged better than six innings per start and had a 2.94 ERA while the Sox went 18-3 behind him.
And yet, those two second-half games in New York linger, too. Nine combined innings, eight home runs. No matter how many were first-row Bronx shots that would have died short of the Fenway warning track, a snowman commands attention.
"This guy, I mean, he's been one of the best pitchers in the Big Leagues for a long, long time," Cora said. "We get caught up in the numbers and the playoffs and all that … for him, it's about health. He's healthy. He prepares. You see the same guy on the mound.
"We feel he's in a good place mentally and physically. We have to wait and see."
Price knows. Better than everyone else. He remembers retiring 18 in a row in 2015 with Toronto, only for a dropped pop-up to dissolve into a five-run Kansas City rally. The bloop single in Cleveland two Octobers ago, and the 348-foot homer from light-hitting Lonnie Chisenhall that sealed his playoff debut with the Red Sox.
He's acknowledged the pressure. He's downplayed the pressure. He's snipped and he's mellowed. David Price, for all the self-inflicted wounds and word wars he just can't win, knows there's a simple solution to all of this.
Execute the pitch. Be the ace even his loudest detractors know he can be. And if along the way he wins the one that really counts? All the better.
"If I lose the entire playoffs and we win a World Series, I'll take that. That's what I'm here for," Price said. "I don't want this to be about me and me not winning. … Whatever it is, I want the Red Sox to win tomorrow. That's what I worry about."

Dear All,
The Oxford Children's Rights Network was recently approached by the HFC Hope for Children UNCRC Policy Center with a new opportunity for researchers and academics working in the field of children's rights. You can learn more about the initiative below and can get in touch directly with the Center if you are interested in becoming involved. We hope you will be inspired and encouraged in your work.
The Oxford Children's Rights Network
Research Opportunity with the HFC 'Hope For Children' UNCRC Policy Center
The HFC 'Hope For Children' UNCRC Policy Center would like to announce it is launching the 'Chair of the UNCRC Policy Center'.
The aim of the initiative is to bring the subject of the rights of children closer to the academic world through collaboration with universities and research centres around the world. The goal is to examine and develop the subject further from the grassroots programmes which until now have been the main means to examine the protection and application of these rights.
More information about the project and the organisation is available online at:
If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete the online form.

Help Keep a Roof Over My Family
1 year agoInmate666
I lost my job in a backhanded manner a few months ago and I'm just now getting into a new one. I start this week and there is no way it will get my family the 610 dollars we need for rent by the time it's due. Any help would be appreciated even just spreading this post. I hate that I've had to share this as much as I've had too but I have a disabled mom and little sister to take care of. Thank you all. You guys are amazing!
I Do This A Lot
1 year agoInmate666
It seems like my depression is getting worse lately. I frequently find myself awake at night worrying about valid issues and dumb made up issues alike. I frequently have borderline panic attacks laying in bed trying to sleep because my brain races a mile a minute wondering if my friends actually like me or if everyone just sort of tolerates me.
It stems from me losing my job in a pretty backhanded manner. I didn't even know I had lost my job until I got a notice from my insurance saying it was cancelled due to termination of employment. I immediately set out looking for work but it's been to no avail so far. I had to set up a gofundme as I have a disabled mother and little sister to keep a roof over and it was my last option. It's been about a month since that was set up and I've noticed a decline in contact from some friends and collegues at a small company I volunteer for. I know we're all busy but I very frequently get no replies when trying to talk to people I value and it's just kind of messing with me. I honestly think some of them have me muted on social media. I'm probably just seeing stuff and making connections that aren't really true, but I don't know. This whole situation is wearing me thin and I can barely even sleep any more. Stress eating is getting out of control. Good times.
I'm sorry I just kind of needed to vent.
I have the best co workers!!!!
1 year agoInmate666
So my amazing family at Gamer Assault Weekly knows this year was insanely hard on me. We frequently do a general "Who wants to go to X event" post in our chats and then whittle it down to just the people who can for sure go to the event. When I was asked about PAX South I replied with something along the lines of " Sorry, it's either I get to go have fun at an event or my little sister gets Christmas this year". My co workers went and made a GoFundMe and managed to raise almost all the money for me to go! I was completely beside myself in awe and happiness that they took the time to do this let alone the fact that any one donated. I can't wait to see these people for the first time and thank them in person <3 If you want to help raise the last 150 dollars we need to get this fully funded or just want to share the link you can find it here no pressure to donate I am just happy to even have this opportunity! ^.^

Hey all. I apologize for my absence as of late on Twitch. As most of you know I am going through a bunch of personal crap at the moment and needed a moment to get back on my feet. I plan on returning soon. Very soon. The idea is to be back starting Monday April 9th. It gives me about a week to kind of finish getting my head back on straight and get some shit sorted out. Thank you so much for everyone who has stayed with me through all of this and I can't wait to start putting out content for you guys again soon. Hit that follow button to know when I go live! <3
I'm Not Okay
2 years agoInmate666
So a few months back I was in what I thought was my kind of 'happily ever after'. It kind of all came crashing down around me. Out of the blue my girlfriend got really distant almost like she was depressed. She stopped saying she loved me, wouldn't say good night back to me, she took hours to reply to anything and when she would it was with excuses. I sent this long cute message telling her how much I love her and my step daughter and that if something is bothering her or is wrong she can talk to me. Then she just left. She didn't give a reason, she just said it was over and that she still loved me and cared and that she wanted the best for me but that it wasn't her. I tried telling her she was best for me and that we should talk but she wouldn't answer calls or texts. Then she just deleted everything of us and blocked me on everything, Facebook, Xbox, Twitter, you name it. I have no idea what happened, I feel left behind and I am not okay. This woman I love abandoned me and part of what hurts the most is I was so invested in us. I was going to move to the other side of the US to live with her, we were talking about having a baby of our own. I treated her little one as my own and loved her so much. Now she is going to grow up without knowing who I am but I will always have memories of her.
Quick Update
2 years agoInmate666
Hey all sorry for sort of just falling off the face of the earth. I'll be straight with you I fell in to a pretty deep depression, it was an amalgamation of things that I really wouldn't like to go in to. Just know that I am in a much better frame of mind. A lot of that has to do with my amazing girlfriend. We have been together for almost six months now and I have never been happier she is literally my other half, no one has ever shown me the kindness or shared my hobbies the way she does. Equally as awesome I am now a dad! I was extremely timid to meet my girlfriend's very young daughter (she's two in February) but she took to me almost immediately and she has even called me dada on a few occasions. Which I will be honest made me tear up the first time I heard her say it. Her biological father makes very little effort to be in her life and I will do my best to be a respectable father figure for her as she grows up. I have always wanted to be a dad and I could not have asked for a better little princess. <3

I suppose that's the title I get when I've been drinking. I also just spent five minutes laughing at it so that should tell you a lot. I apologize for the hiatus but I had no computer for close to two months, but thanks to the good ole IRS I got just enough money to get groceries, a PS4 so I can bring you lovely little ones new content and a brand new laptop. SO I am back until further notice :).... feels good. Ta-ta for now #butttouches

There are so many different ways to engage people in today's world that brand activation seems quaint and inefficient. However, its effectiveness even today can't be denied. Its secret is its proven ability to move consumers towards your brand.
The reach of modern marketing media is amazing. A Philippine newspaper can reach 200 thousand people in a day. Radio and TV captivate millions during their respective prime times. A single post in Facebook can potentially reach 60 million Filipinos overnight. But while media can tell people a brand's message or shore its vision to millions of individuals, they struggle to generate a quality that activations produce effortlessly: experience.
Experience is crucial in inspiring demand. Experience is the best way for brands to create an emotional connection with consumers because this requires interactions in the widest range possible – from sensual to human connections. Fortunately, brand activations can create all those interactions.
They engage all five senses.
Publishing, broadcast, and digital media can only engage one or two senses; activation events can engage them all. It can create a controlled physical situation that immerses people in your brand to the exclusion of all else.
They create personal connections.
In media, interactions tend to be thin and tenuous because people know personalities indirectly. It's very hard to get invested in words on a page or the voice and images of people from far away but in activations, consumers interact with the products directly. They can also connect with other people, such as brand ambassadors or fellow consumers.
They provoke emotions.
Feelings grow more intense the closer a person is and no other media can bring your brand closer than an activation. Your brand is there, physically present and waiting for a response. People will unavoidably have an emotional reaction.
Because of all these interactions, brand activations move people into action. In fact, they have to respond in some way. If your event is creative and appealing enough, the reaction will be positive and result in sales. Other methods can't create such immediacy; people have trained themselves to skip, ignore, or tune out ads and messages that don't catch their interested.
But that's not all that brand activations can do. They have another important advantage. They can generate content in the other media. Good PR can place an activation in the newspapers or broadcasted in the radio or on TV. Consumers can even share it on their social networks. The other way around happening only happens rarely – if at all. With the proper projection, brand activations can continue to engage people even if they're not in the vicinity.
Curiously, this means that as the digital age continues its onward march, activation events become even more important. They can offer an experience that can't be replicated anywhere else while tech enables them to reach even more people than their venue allows.
If your product needs a boost, consider an activation campaign integrated with social media and public relations. It can be then edge that your marketing needs.
Watch out for the next installment of the ongoing series on Activations! Next: Theme and Goals.

* Ratings agency cites resilience in face of global woes
* Officials in top copper exporter raise growth forecasts
* Gov't says upgrade vindicates economic policies
By Anthony Esposito
SANTIAGO, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Standard & Poor's raised Chile's sovereign credit rating a notch on Wednesday to AA-minus from A-plus, citing the export-dependent economy's resilience to fallout from the global slowdown.
The upgrade makes investor favorite Chile the highest-rated sovereign in Latin America and puts it on an equal footing with countries including Japan, New Zealand and Taiwan, Finance Minister Felipe Larrain said.
"This is a great honor for Chileans because it's i nternational backing f or t he economic management and fiscal policies we've developed," he sa id i n a statement, adding that the revision should further lower borrowing costs.
Announcing the upgrade, Standard & Poor's highlighted the Chilean economy's solid performance despite an uncertain international panorama.
"The upgrade reflects the growing resilience of the Chilean economy that in turn continues to improve the government's capacity for countercyclical policies in the face of an external downturn," it said in a statement.
"We also expect the government to continue making gradual progress on microeconomic reforms to bolster the long-term competitiveness of the economy," it added, warning that an unexpectedly sharp drop in Chinese growth could still result in a severe drop in copper revenues.
The ratings agency also revised its outlook for the economy of the world's No. 1 copper producer to "stable" from "positive."
Chile's economy has fared better than expected despite slowing demand from top trade partner China and fallout from the euro zone's debt crisis on the back of brisk domestic demand, healthy prices for main export copper and strong investments.
Earlier this month, Chile's central bank hiked economic growth forecasts and scaled back inflation projections for both this year and next as buoyant domestic demand and investments are seen remaining firm.
Economic growth is seen cooling slightly to between 4.25 percent and 5.25 percent in 2013. That would mark a fourth straight year of sturdy growth.
Gross domestic product is expected to expand 5.5 percent this year, after growing 6 percent in 2011 and 6.1 percent in 2010.

I am still undecided. They all seem really progressive on the issues, they all seem like they are willing to take on Baker and the legislature alike, they have all had the same problem attracting funding and attention to their races. So how do I decide? Interested to hear from the hive mind and try and convince me why your candidate is the best rather than tear down the other two.

Why don't you just read all the great coverage about the race and the candidates in the Globe and Herald? 🙂
I don't think there's much room in this race to play my candidate's more progressive than your candidate. I'm with Setti Warren because I believe he brings the most relevant experience having been Mayor, and you'll always win points from me for putting a prop 2.5 override on the ballot and campaigning for it. Plus a lot of people I respect, particularly veterans of Deval Patrick's campaign, are with him. I do have to say though that I'm also impressed by the detailed policies Bob Massie has put on his website regarding transportation and the environment and wonder if we can expect more such in other areas.
I'm in Jay's camp. While I like all three, I see Jay as presenting the best contrast with Baker. Both were health insurance CEO's which is not a contrast but serves to neutralize something that Baker may want to boast about. Charlie Baker is a tall, slow, boring guy, probably the last guy you'd want to be seated next to at a banquet. Jay is short, energetic, and filled with passion, and the guy you want at your banquet table.
I realize this is superficial, but so are barn jackets, pickup trucks, and red ball caps with American slogans – and those worked.
Jay ran the Boston Marathon last year. His smile is contagious. He's just a great guy. He was a little late on health care but has come around to say that "Simply put, we need a single-payer system that is cheaper, simpler and better."
Finally, and most importantly, I see Jay as having the greatest appeal to the one voting block that outnumbers Democrats and Republicans: the independents. .
I don't want to sound anti-Jay because I haven't made a decision. But I am personally concerned of the baggage Jay brings with him with his years working with Deval. For example, I believe he was the head a Administration and Finance in 2010 when suddenly the costs of 140 state troopers disappeared off the books. I understand the political maneuvers to make that happen, but what I don't understand is how the financial watchdog agency misses something like that. I maybe wrong, but it is one of many landmines that Gonzalez may step on.
For example, I believe he was the head a Administration and Finance in 2010 when suddenly the costs of 140 state troopers disappeared off the books.
I wish I could say that it wasn't going to be such a problem — or at least that it would be a fair fight — to pit one former Secretary of Administration and Finance performing arcane accounting wizardry in the midst of the 'Great Recession' (Gonzales) against another former Secretary of Administration and Finance performing arcane accounting wizardry to boon the doggle that was the Big Dig (Baker). But after Republicans went whole hog, in 2004, for a draft dodger against a war hero, upending reality itself and while christian evangelicals are openly, enthusiastically, supporting a congenitally adulterous, serial liar, in the WH… all bets are off on holding both candidates to the same standard.
In my book working for Deval is an asset rather than a liability.
As many of you might have gathered, I think that Massachusetts politics suffers from a cultural crisis, characterized by elite narcissism and entrenched Social Darwinism. Without disparaging other candidates, I think that Bob Massie is the best candidate to address this.
As many of you might have gathered, I think that Massachusetts politics suffers from a cultural crisis, characterized by elite narcissism and entrenched Social Darwinism.
I find this fascinating. I have no doubt that many people perceive themselves to be on the receiving end of such elitism, and find the notion of 'Social Darwinism' convenient enough explanation for their circumstances.
I have no doubt about this because I've met many such people who tell me exactly this. But I don't believe them. I don't believe them because it fits too neatly into the narrative the Republicans have been peddling since, at least, Reagan if not Nixon: it's the lament of the fading hegemon; "They' think they're too effing special to recognize how special I (or my special interest is…) and I all I do for them … boo hoo hoo.."
This dynamic of perception and entitlement, in fact, explains (at least in part) Charlie Baker… Consider: Deval Patrick steered the CommonWealth through the worst economy in a generation without making a single complaint about the circumstances or the difficulty. Charlie Baker has an economy that is, in almost every conceivable way, several orders of magnitude better and all he can do is complain from the confines of his administrative torpor: blaming circumstances or someone else, from the depths of his inertia. Future historians may well puzzle over various circumstances and, if going by affect only, they might guess that Deval Patrick was the Gov with the great economy and Charlie Baker was beset on all sides by direst circumstances. Only after the Republicans have long fostered a false perception of 'Social Darwinism' or 'elite narcissim' — or indeed victimization — can such a complaining but inert governor reach such heights of 'popularity.'
I think that Bob Massie is the best candidate to address this.
I don't think he can. I don't think any one can. I don't think anyone should address it, at least not in the manner in which you speak of it: as though it is a real and tangible thing to be tinkered with forthrightly.
Some examples of institutionalized Social Darwinism in the Commonwealth:
I cannot improve upon the work that Dave from Hvad does highlighting abuses within the human service community
Insofar as the electeds are concerned, consider the fact that Bryon Hefner was indicted this past Thursday, and that the events that eventually led to thee indictment had everything to do with Yvonne Abraham of the Globe, not any proactivity within the Legislature. Granted, the indictments were the result of joint efforts by AG's Office and the Suffolk County DA;; but it is doubtful that any investigation would have occurred absent Ms. Abraham's work.
Gentrification has gotten so bad that even upper-middle income tenants are being displaced.
I think that the casual exploitation of the comparatively weak is a good thumbnail definition of Social Darwinism.
I think that the casual exploitation of the comparatively weak is a good thumbnail definition of Social Darwinism.
To the extent that you consider this new or even particular to the CommonWealth… may I introduce you to a series of literary masterworks by a man named Dickens? You might find them illuminating.
You're not, however, completely wrong and I should cop to an habituation — perhaps even a moral accommodation — of the situation regarding human services (agreeing with your shout-out to Dave from hvad for the oft poignant. all-too-necessary, reminder). But the problem isn't anything like 'social darwinism' however apt that may be as a description of the effect: the problem is liberals who deliberately, and time-and-again, pit the perfect against the good and fight amongst themselves trying to get the more perfect solution or more perfect candidate, oft at the expense of real people and real solutions… allowing the right leaning amongst us to drive their 'starve-the-beast' idealogy through the breach. Tim Murray and Deval Patrick tried to make serious efforts against homelessness, making funds available for identification of at-risk families and serious attempts to intervene before shelter use. Many liberals complained about this, mocking the efforts and, in purported defense of the homeless, actually defended the use of shelters, as though the continued existence of the shelters were the important point, not the effort to eradicate homelessness. This is but one example.
On the other hand, however, you are wrong about the existence of any narcissism and elitism. If Bill Weld hadn't provided such an object lesson, I'd be tempted to wish more narcissistic elitism upon the CommonWealth…. if only to shake things up. The most striking thing about the Bryon Hefner situation is how much of a clarifying juxtaposition his narcissistic entitlement really is… The rallying cry (such as it is) of the entirety of the. CommonWealth leadership cadre, starting with Bryon Hefners husband, Stan, and moving on to Marty Walsh to Bob DeLeo to Charlie Baker is a uniformly passive-aggressive weak tea constant stream of complaints that they are powerless. It's all some version of "My hands are tied." or, "I wish I could do something about it…" That's all I hear from leadership, who exist in a defensive crouch and it sounds nothing like narcissistic elitism… It sounds, in fact, a lot like what I suspect it may truly be: a lot of low-self-esteem mouth-breathers who've come to realize just how far in over their heads they have found themselves…
The irony was that Charles Darwin would have opposed Social Darwinism.
I made a variant of this post earlier. Big time freudian slip, but for some reason not posted here
I conflated Darwin with Dickens, and I apologize for the error.
You said, "the casual exploitation of the comparatively weak is a good thumbnail definition of Social Darwinism."
To which my reply was, in essence, "While true, it's nothing particular to the CommonWealth: Charles Dickens was describing that sort of thing ages ago."
Now you want to bring Herbert Spencer into this because you think your notions about his argument have something to say about your version of my argument. Which is really funny.
I don't believe in deliberate "Social Darwinism' on, or from, the left: that's the shtick of the Right. The Left are too busy fighting over the perfect, and assuming everybody should share their progressivism, that the good is oft compromised away by the feckless occupying the center as they are trying to placate the Right.
For me it's Bob Massie.
I've gotten to know Bob since August, he's wicked smart, dedicated, and an empathic candidate. As someone who has a mentally disabled sibling, Bob's record as a social justice advocate is something that hits very close to home and inspires me on a daily basis. I can't think of a more progressive candidate to run for governor.
The November election is ALL about turnout. The roughly 1 million voters EVERY top-of-the-ticket Republican gets — whether its Weld, Romney, Scott Brown, Trump, McCain, Bush — will vote for Baker. Issues don't seem to matter for the Republican electorate in Massachusetts. They always get 1 million votes.
Simply put, the Democrat wins if over 2.3 million vote. The question is: who among the three candidates is more likely to get the highest turnout?
I believe that candidate is Setti Warren. Unlike the other two, he's actually won an executive office election, so he and his campaign has some practice, albeit at a much smaller scale. And, he's more likely to get higher turnout in urban places that historically have had low turnout in mid-term elections (e.g., Fall River, New Bedford, Brockton, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, East Boston, Haverhill, …..) than the others.
BTW it would help all three candidates if Dem Party Chair Gus Bickford would at least try to drive up Charlie Baker's negatives by making radio and TV appearances. Why wasn't he all over the local news on Saturday during their March for Our Lives coverage? It would have been so easy to mention "Where's Charlie?" and "Why did Baker appoint the head of GOAL as one of his Department Heads?" Why isn't he on every time there's an MBTA outage reminding voters of Baker's incompetence? Why isn't he commenting on the State Police scandal? Why isn't he reminding voters that, although Baker ran on fixing DCF, he hasn't? et cetera, et cetera
Bickford has done a much better job than his predecessor holding Baker's feet to the fire.
Pretty low bar when the last guy praised him way more than he criticized him. It is time for Walsh and other prominent Bay State Democrats to follow Senator Warrens lead and start tearing into the Koch brother backed Baker. This is not the Rockefeller Republican the media and far too many elected Massachusetts Democrats make him out to be.
I like Setti Warren.
I like his biography, I like his positions, and I like his style.
From the above (emphasis mine):
Two-term Newton mayor Setti Warren formally launched his bid for governor over the weekend, declaring that economic inequality is the "defining issue of our generation."
Warren has already begun hammering the Republican incumbent on transportation, advocating for the North-South Rail Link and a bullet train between Boston and Springfield—two projects the Baker administration has shown little love.
Traveling around the state over the past several months, it's very clear that people and communities are falling behind. It's also clear that people are working incredibly hard out there, some with two jobs, three jobs, and they just can't afford the cost of living—things like education across the board, health care. The issue of economic inequality is the issue of our time. This is a generational movement. Are we going to be honest and direct and have the courage to work together, come together, and make an investment in people so that we provide that generational foundational opportunity?
It's clear to me, not only to do I feel strongly about running, but we put in place free public college and single payer health care.
It's really clear that the T is inadequate and under-resourced. When you look at the traffic jams across this region, it is the result of an inadequate, inefficient system. We've got to ensure we're funding new cars like the Green Line. We've got to make sure we're increasing and improving service on the commuter rail. We have to go beyond the T, though.
We know that, beyond the range of the T, when you get beyond Greater Boston, there are practically nonexistent regional transportation networks. We need to build a bullet train—high-speed rail from Boston to Springfield. Sen. Eric Lesser has proposed that, and unfortunately, Gov. Baker vetoed the study for that in the last year. We've got to ensure that we've got South Coast Rail. We've got to make sure we put something in place called the North-South Rail Link. And we've got to build off those infrastructure investments. We've got to build regional transportation networks that meet people's needs where they live, across the state. If we're not being honest and direct about that, we will continue to grow economic inequality, and not provide a foundation of opportunity for people in the Commonwealth.
Yes. [Mike Dukakis] believes—and he'll tell you this, if you get him on the phone—the key to this is going directly to the people, and building the biggest grassroots campaign in Massachusetts history begins when talking directly to people and making the case about the issue of the day, which is economic inequality. So I embrace that, and we will do it.
The above piece is from almost a year ago. Setti Warren is aggressively promoting:
– addressing economic inequality
– public transportation
– single payer health care
– free public college
For me, Setti Warren is far and away my favorite candidate. He strikes me as the real deal.
Setti Warren's remedy for economic inequality that is the "defining issue of our generation"…is more education and better job skills for the working class, according to an interview he replied to on WBUR a few months ago.
Naturally, I wrote him minutes after the program. If anyone has read my posts on BMG, well, you know what I asked him.
He never replied. He never explained why, without a better education and better skills, the .01%, the rent-seekers, have been able to garner all the money and get us to this point.
I'd still like to hear from him on this, so if he is reading BMG……I'm listening.
Is some part of the following difficult to understand (emphasis original)?
try and convince me why your candidate is the best rather than tear down the other two.
If I was running for office, and I was a reader of BMG, and I got that email from you, I suspect I'd ignore it as well.
Setti Warren has outlined a long list of things he proposes to do to address economic inequality. He has, for example, proposed raising taxes on the wealthy. Neither Setti Warren nor anyone else on this board insists that making education more affordable is tied to economic inequality.
The exorbitantly high cost of education is a fact of life, and that hurts working-class families more than the 1%. You jump to attack every proposal to address that issue, then deny that you oppose education.
The thread-starter invites us to put forward why we like the candidate we choose. I've not attacked your candidate.
I'd like you to please stop attacking mine.
I'm not fully decided. I don't particularly care to play the game of 'who can beat Charlie Baker?' That's short-term thinking very unlikely to eventuate in answering the question, 'who can be the best Governor?' Good policy is always good politics and this truth extends to the candidates.
Setti Warren has solid experience and Mike Dukakis in his corner. Because of Mike Dukakis he's the default for me at the moment. But that's a judgement on Mike Dukakis and not on Setti Warren. He could lose my vote by saying or doing something stupid, I suppose, but it is his to lose at the moment.
Jay Gonzalez also has experience, as well as Kate, in his corner. He worked for Deval Patrick which is a plus.
Bob Massie seems like an exceptional human, but I know the least about him.
Hi jconway, thanks for tossing us a good question.
I've been studying the gubernatorial candidates for months now and feel well informed. I'm to the left of center myself and my choice is Bob Massie.
All three candidates have nearly an identical progressive platform, so what I look for is a track record, not promises.
Massie has been at it for 40 years with documented successes in women's rights, racial justice, advocacy for the homeless, etc. In addition to social justice work, he's formed national/international organizations for corporate accountability and sustainable practices, he's used institutional investments like large pension funds to pressure corporations, and he's been a long time advocate of single-payer healthcare since he benefited from it as a child.
The candidates clearly differ on a few issues. Ranked Choice Voting is one of them. Jay Gonzalez and Setti Warren plead ignorance and say they need to learn more about it. Bob Massie is a strong supporter.
Another issue is legalization of recreational cannabis. Setti was against the ballot initiative. Jay says "The people have spoken." Bob was not only in favor of the ballot initiative, he is now calling for the release of all those imprisoned on nonviolent marijuana charges.
I don't think you'll ever hear Jay or Setti speaking out against corporate power. Bob edited a 600-page book of essays about it in 1980.
Massie is a climate change warrior, endorsed by 350.org founder Bill McKibben. He has a detailed plan for moving us rapidly to a locally prosperous renewables-based clean energy economy, and he has the smarts to do it (Princeton, Yale, Harvard).
He also has a detailed plan for a 21st century transportation system. With a doctorate in business from Harvard, he eats spreadsheets for breakfast and is not afraid of complicated issues.
I encourage anyone who is still on the fence to take a good look at Bob Massie. The bedrock issues of his campaign—climate action, social justice, and democracy—have been the focus of his life's work. Most recently he has piloted two organizations for social change: the New Economy Coalition and the Sustainable Solutions Lab at UMass Boston.
My dream? To watch Massie debate Baker. Charlie's head will spin and he'll definitely lose that boyish grin. Maybe he'll lose the governorship, too.
Good to know on marijuana, climate, and ranked choice voting. I really think ranked choice voting is the only way we are going to create the kind of culture of competitive elections this state desperately needs to fix the legislature. It is good he supports that and a sensible approach to marijuana policy.
On that issue which is very important to communities of color and younger voters, it is important to stand out with the strongest contrast to Baker. I wish all three candidates hit would him harder on his drug warrior approach to the public health crisis of opioids. We cannot jail our way out of that problem, and thinking we can will ruin another generation.
As a delegate, make the candidates fight over you. Your vote isn't free, ask them to take a public stance on an issue you care about that they haven't committed to yet.
Thanks for everyones contributions. I tend to vote for the most left wing candidate in any given primary unless I think another candidate is better qualified or for tactical reasons to block another candidate I dislike. I probably would have voted for Berwick for the former reason last round, but defected to Grossman at the end to tactically block Coakley. In this race, I see no reason to tactical vote.
I think they are all good on the issues and will all have an uphill time against Baker due to fundraising challenges and media bias, but they offer a strong contrast to him. I like Massie the most on the issues and am leaning in his direction. If this were a ranked choice election, I would be able to vote for all three.
If this were a ranked choice election, I would be able to vote for all three.
While true, and maybe a comfort to you, you would still only get one Governor.

For to us a child is born
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this." Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV
Do these verses sound familiar to you? For to us a child is born is on Christmas greeting cards in almost any store that sells them. This time of year we hear the music of Christmas from loudspeakers played everywhere from grocery stores to churches, though I wonder how many of us really listen to the message.
What does it mean For to us a child is born?
Isaiah couched the prophecy among others he made regarding Israel, some of future joy and others of future destruction and exile. Even in his day, I doubt Isaiah's hearers fully understood his message. Some of it made sense and spoke of nations of which they were familiar. He spoke warnings to them and gave them the word of the Lord. But in among the confusion or fears of coming judgment to His disobedient people, God also spoke peace.
He told Isaiah to tell His people that a child was coming, a son who would carry the government on his shoulders. Can you picture it? In our imaginations we might see the Greek god Atlas carrying the weight of the heavens on his shoulders, a burden and punishment apparently given by Zeus (another Greek god).
But this Son, this child Isaiah predicted was coming, would not carry the government as punishment but as reward. He came as a child--fulfilled in Luke 2 where shepherds were told, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given...
The prophesy was given in parts. No infant is capable of ruling a government, nor did He fulfill, in His infancy some of His other roles. He did not come as a child to sit on David's throne...then. He did not come to establish His kingdom or uphold it with justice...then. He came as a child. His first purpose was to be what the angels pronounced to the shepherds--a Savior, the Messiah, the Lord.
We sing songs like "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," which words include, "glory to the newborn king." He did come as a king. The wise men knew it when they followed all of the signs to find Him. But this King came virtually incognito. Except for the star pointing like a majestic finger and the angels declaring the triumphant entry of God to earth, Jesus came quietly. No fan fare. No trumpets blaring for all to rise and bow down to Him.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given...
The truth is, Isaiah's prophecy sounds more like God was giving us a precious gift--like all babies who are born into the world--except--this One was so much more.
He was royalty, but He didn't claim the right to be born in a palace. He was Almighty God, but He veiled His glory in human flesh. He was Wonderful Counselor (the role His Spirit would assume in our lives), Everlasting Father (the Giver of all good things--the whole Trinity was there in that moment), the Prince of Peace (Savior, the Messiah, the Lord.)
Someday the rest of Isaiah's prophecy will be fulfilled, and the sentences and paragraphs in chapter 9 will all make more sense to us than they do today. Someday the child who grew to be a man to fulfill the destiny of Savior, Messiah, and Lord through His death and resurrection for our sins against His royal, Almighty Father, will take up that mantle of government and rule and reign on David's throne as was promised to David millennia ago. He won't be like the rulers of the past or the rulers of governments we see today. He will reign in justice and righteousness forever.
But for now...this year, this season...we celebrate a Savior, the Messiah, Christ the Lord.
For to us a child is born...
Merry Christmas!

In this re-submission of the R03 application we propose to determine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect sizes of a peer-support group alone and combined with group-based financial incentives to increase breastfeeding (BF) duration among low-income Puerto Rican mothers. These interventions will be tested in a Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, which capitalize on the current goals of WIC and on the current practice of using incentives to support BF - factors that are likely to increase potential for sustainability and dissemination of the intervention. The study is important because: 1) peer support for BF is the only BF maintenance strategy out of 10 recommended steps to support BF by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for prolonging BF; 2) the proposed interventions have potential to address health disparities related to insufficient durations of breastfeeding, which are particularly prevalent among low-income Puerto Rican women; 3) insufficient breastfeeding is related to multiple maternal and child health problems; and 4) increases in breastfeeding duration could save tens of billions of dollars in health costs. We will follow a three phase strategy. During the Formative Phase we will consult WIC staff, Puerto Rican postpartum mothers, and experts in BF, behavioral health incentives, and WIC populations and settings to develop intervention and research manuals. During the Implementation Phase, we will pilot the interventions and research procedures. We will randomly assign 60 Puerto Rican women who initiate BF to: Treatment-as-Usual (TAU); TAU plus a breastfeeding peer-support group (BFS); or TAU and BFS with group- based financial incentives (also known as Group Contingency Management; (GCM). Participants in the peer- support groups will be encouraged to talk about their BF experiences and problem-solve BF issues. Participants also receiving GCM will be divided into two teams within their peer-support group and each week the team with the greatest proportion of BF mothers (as determined by direct observation of BF) will earn cash incentives in the amount of $5 per team member. We will conduct assessments at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum, measuring BF duration, BF exclusivity, BF self-efficacy, and infant weight gain. In the Evaluative Phase, we will examine monthly recruitment, consent, and enrollment rates, as well as attendance and retention rates for the interventions and for research participation (i.e., feasibility and acceptability). We also will estimate effect sizes for BF duraion, BF exclusivity, BF self-efficacy, and infant weight comparing the two interventions to TAU and each other. With WIC programs located in every state, territory, and tribal organization there is increased potential for developing a cost-effective, widely implemented, and sustainable BF intervention.
The proposed study testing feasibility and acceptability of peer-support groups with and without incentives for breastfeeding is relevant to public health for three reasons: 1) the proposed interventions address health disparities related to insufficient durations of breastfeeding, which are particularly prevalent among low-income Puerto Rican women; the largest Hispanic subgroup with low BF duration in the US; 2) insufficient breastfeeding is related to multiple health problems including maternal cancer, pediatric overweight and infectious diseases; and 3) if breastfeeding were increased to meet the goals endorsed by Healthy People 2020, it would save the US over $16 billion annually from reduced direct and indirect medical costs.

In the 2008 crisis, JPMorgan Chase, along with a handful of other banks, was considered too big to fail. The theory is that if such megabanks were allowed to fail, the US (and the world economy) would be dragged down with it.
My theory is that Chase has already failed, at least as a mass consumer bank.
Fact is, I have banked with them for many years, in more than one state. Granted, I am not a wealthy individual, and although I have personal and business accounts with the bank, I am obviously not seen as a VIp client.
But there is another fact. Out of the last eight times I had a request or required a service from Chase, I only managed to have a positive outcome once – because that day I had decided I was not going to walk away with a no.
If Chase is a mass bank – and the fact that it has branches all over the place testifies to that, here are two branches less than 1 mile from each other where I live- then it should provide services to the masses. It does not seem interested to do so.
The last time I contacted Chase with a request, I asked for a home equity line of credit. First of all, ridiculous as it may seem, although there were several "officers" doing nothing but looking at the ceiling of the posh branch, the guy who took me had me speak to somebody over the phone in a remote location. The conclusion I have is that this product is only available for people who have more than 50% of the mortgage paid off. I gave a 10% deposit on my home, the mortgage is on the tenth year, and the bank, after applying a ridiculous 80% rule, said all I had was 4000 bucks equity I could borrow against…
Then I asked whether they would lend money against a frozen savings account or CD, and the officer said it does not do it any longer…in other words, the most simple and safe operation in banking, borrowing against liquid funds, is not done by this bank anymore (they used to do it, just a few years ago). So, why are those folks sitting pretty at the branch, if the bank does nothing?
So Chase kinda reminds me of a SNL skit, about a Change Bank, which all it did was change money! That seems to be today's Chase.
The only thing that keeps me from taking my money from it is because I would need to change a lot of stuff, like incoming and outgoing payments, etc, etc, etc. Or else, I would just say bye bye Chase.

The Associated Press ran a good article today citing the bad evidence on which many fracking critics are basing their objections. Among the culprits is our favorite fictional documentarian Josh Fox, of Gasland fame, who has repeated an indefensible claim that breast cancer rates have spiked in the Barnett Shale region. Public health authorities and breast cancer researchers have seen no such evidence but Fox is unrepentant.
Unfortunately, as with most contentious issues these days, there is little hope for middle ground on the fracking issue any time soon. More likely, it will become less of an issue as people see no real negative impacts and tire of the battle. It won't go away, but many of the foot soldiers will get bored and move on to the next perceived injustice. That prediction my be my "famous last words" moment, but I'm sticking with it.
People, especially those with a profit motive like Josh Fox, will continue to stir the pot, but in the absence of real evidence, their arguments grow weaker by the day. It's a good article - read it.

Prinstagram Prints Out Your Favorite Instagram Photos 0
People are becoming increasingly vain these days, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (unless of course, they go overboard, like take shots of their faces during funerals or at the altar–at someone else's wedding!)
The reason is pretty obvious. Most mobile devices, such as the ever-popular iPhone, come with a built-in camera allowing people to take good-quality shots without owning a Point and Shoot or DSLR. It has also become easier to edit and add effects to these photos, either by placing the device in some sort of case or kit (like the Holga Lens Filter Kit or iPhone Lens Dial) or by using an app like Instagram.
Instagram is popular and widely-used for various reasons: it's easy to add effects, it lets you share your photos with others instantly, and it's free. You can conveniently view your photos online whenever you want, but now there's a new type of service (that's not affiliated with the app) that lets you take your photos with you anywhere by printing them out for you.
Prinstagram offers a variety of print jobs to literally make those memories last a lifetime: posters, mini prints, stickers, mini books, and tiny books. The prices for these prints range from $10 to $25, so if you're thinking of giving someone a meaningful present this Christmas without having to break the bank, then this might be a pretty neat idea.

Agents accused of using Head Start to track immigrants
ICE accused of tracking immigrants at Head Start
Group says it's harming kids of illegal migrants, who then avoid the centers altogether
MILWAUKEE, WIS. — Immigration enforcement officials are now targeting migrant and seasonal Head Start centers in some states as part of efforts to track down illegal immigrants, the executive director of the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association says.
Yvette Sanchez, president of the Washington, D.C.-based association, was in Milwaukee recently for a meeting of the national board of directors at United Migrant Opportunity Services Inc.
She said immigration surveillance is emerging as one of the top three issues for the group, comprising migrant and seasonal Head Start directors, staff, parents and friends. Financial appropriations and the need for more bilingual materials are the others, she said.
"Several kids and babies died in the fields because parents were fearful of sending them to Head Start," she said in an interview.
"Since early 2007, many of our programs started to notice that Border Patrol of Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles were parked outside their centers, and some were following buses picking up children," she said.
Jason Ciliberti, supervisory Border Patrol agent in Washington, D.C., said it's not the agency's policy to stake out Head Start centers.
"It could have happened if we believe there was an immigration violation afoot, but it's not our policy or practice, I believe."
Gail Montenegro, a spokeswoman with ICE in Chicago, said: "Generally, our operations avoid actions at school settings. ... However, we will take into custody during these targeted operations anyone encountered who may be in the country illegally."
In testimony before the congressional subcommittee on work force protections in May, ICE officials were provided with a list of dates and places regarding ICE activities near migrant and seasonal Head Start programs in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and New Mexico, according to a letter sent to ICE officials in Washington by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
"We ask that ICE enforcement and intimidation tactics near migrant and seasonal Head Start centers cease immediately," U.S. Reps. Joe Baca, D-Calif., Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Ruben Hinojosa, D-Mercedes, wrote.
"Parents were fearful of going to the centers or letting their kids get on the bus, and enrollment went down in some parts," Sanchez said.
In Tennessee, one family took their baby with them to the fields and left the baby in the truck where the baby died, she said.
Not a requirementThe criteria for participating in migrant and seasonal Head Start programs is low family income and agricultural employment, she said. "Since the Head Start program was started in 1965, we have never asked families if they are citizens, and it's never been a requirement," she said.
Migrant and seasonal Head Start programs operate in 39 states and serve more than 30,000 migrants and 3,000 children of seasonal farm workers, she said.
Migrant and seasonal Head Start programs serve children from 6 months to school age and also provide a variety of health and transportation services.
United Migrant Opportunity Services operates Head Start programs in Wisconsin that serve 530 children.
Cris Cuevas, director of the United Migrant program, said centers here have not been targeted by immigration officials.
