The Oregon case is the first known infection by a parasite usually found in cows.
A woman from Oregon has become the first person in the world to have been infected by Thelazia gulosa, an eye worm that until now has only ever been found in cows.
Yep, eye worms – they're a thing.
According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the woman felt an irritation in her left eye. About a week later, she pulled out a small, translucent worm.
Like some horror film, she ended up having 14 worms removed from her conjunctiva and the surface of her eye – all less than one and a half centimetres long. They were either plucked out with small tweezers, or flushed out with liquid.
The worms are usually spread by flies that feed on the tears that lubricate eyeballs. Doctors think the woman was infected by the flies while horseback riding and fishing in a coastal area of Oregon, a cattle farming region.
Copping an eyeful
Tiny eye worms, whose whole family are called Thelazia, are usually found in a variety of animals – including cats, dogs, and wild carnivores like foxes, as well as cows.
They're not often found in humans, and it was thought that only two species of Thelazia could infect humans at all, however, now a third needs to be added to the list.
Most people who get infected have inflammation and the sensation that there is something in the eye, which usually goes away after the worms are removed.
However, occasionally the worms will wriggle across the surface of the eye, causing scarring of the cornea and even blindness.
Human infections with eye worms are most common in the elderly or in young children, which makes sense as both patient groups may be less able to keep flies away from their faces.

Just a Typical Day in November
A friend and former colleague of mine hadn't heard from me in a while and asked for anecdotes of a typical day of mine. Here you go:
Waking up it wasn't quite as cold as yesterday, meaning it was around 68 rather than 65 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not kidding that it does actually make a difference. I heard the song of several birds and the chirping of geckos. Leaving my lakeside guesthouse, put on my flip flops, bike helmet, and cycling shorts under my skirt, I wai and "sawadee khaa" the gardener.
I ride down the dirt road past the harvested rice field to the other dirt road next to the busy paved road. On the second dirt road there is a canal between me and the busy street, but on the grass on the side are the Asian type cows, and one calf. They are so peaceful lying there. I have no fear of them because of how docile they are even though they are at least 5 times the size of the dogs who I sometimes fear here.
After the bridge, and crossing the busy road is an undertaking – motorbikes whizzing by, songthaews (these are basically pick up trucks with a red roof top that serve as taxis – song = 2 thaew = row because they have 2 benches in the back) actual pick ups, and cars, people walking, trucks full of people pulling in front of me and stopping, it's scary. I should buy mirrors for my bicycle. I get across the street and then head down a third dirt road that leads to my school.
My school is an amazing work of art. That's really all I can say. Pictures show how nice it is, but don't really do it justice.
I eat breakfast of papaya and Thai rice soup, then we salute the flag, sing and prostrate to the Buddha, and then the students have class.
Lunch is buffet style, homemade, and delicious
Teachers and students and teachers eat together. Staff and students all wash their own dishes.
There are 4 sinks in a row to make it simple to wash and rinse while conserving water. From what I've observed, the students like doing it.
I enjoyed teaching the Pacific NW Native American tale "How the Raven Stole the Sun" story in our mythology unit. The students love it and have never heard anything like it. I had to deal with a silly behavior issue, but it's manageable. My school director agrees with how I handled the situation. It's nice to feel supported in decision making. It's Wednesday so it's free yoga after school. Another reason to I love my job.
Cycling away the guards open the gate and say "Khap" each day as I leave the school. I never cease to delight in the simple beauty of the rice field.
The air smells of burning field smoke. I ride through occasional clouds of tiny flying insects.
getting back to my guesthouse, the room has been cleaned – fresh towels with no gecko poop on them…yet.
The internet isn't working very well. I go down to the restaurant closer to the source, it still isn't working. Talk to some British teachers in training with their CELTA course in progress.I order the chicken Indian curry – they make it vegetarian for me without me even asking because they know I don't eat meat. Very kind indeed. I drink a Bia Chang. While eating something falls from the ceiling, and almost lands in my dinner. I think it's probably a gecko, but actually it's a good sized frog. This makes me laugh.
I get frustrated and give up on the internet. I talk to people from Iran, Ireland, Slovakia, England, and of course Thailand. A British guy plays ukelele and sings in the garden by the lake and makes us all laugh with his never ending looping medleys.
I talk in Spanish to an English guy who taught in Ecuador when I was in Colombia. I go to bed too late to the sounds of chirping insects and the occasional barking dog in the distance.
I have an endless amount of mosquito bites on my legs, I don't have a kitchen to cook in, I have to give away and find a new home for my dog who I love, I am working tomorrow, which is Thanksgiving, but I am happy because I still love Thailand.

Friday 18 May 2012
Over 300 failed asylum seekers are now said to be living in a protest camp set up outside the Ter Apel refugee centre in Groningen, news agency Novum said on Friday.
The camp was set up last Tuesday, when a group of around 50 Iraqi nationals put up tents in protest at government plans to deport them. They wanted the immigration service IND to look again at their cases, arguing they faced death if sent back to Iraq.
The Iraqis have now been joined by some 80 Somali nationals, several Iranians and people from Eritrea, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan, Novum says.
No eviction planned
Immigration minister Gerd Leers said on Tuesday the camp could not remain in place for long and offered the protestors a week's accommodation while they decided whether or not to return home voluntarily.
The protestors may form a threat to public order and to the government's immigration policy, he said, but declined to say if the campers would be evicted. In Dutch law, failed asylum seekers are required to return home voluntarily or face deportation. Iraq will not cooperate with forced deportations.
In December, a group of some 45 Somali asylum seekers set up a camp outside the Ter Apel centre in protest at plans to deport them. The IND eventually decided to review their cases and several were granted refugee status.

'Big Brother' fans outraged over Julie Chen's show of support for Les Moonves: 'Messy and insulting'
Indeed subtle, but a firm message from the 48-year-old TV show host, who has been visibly absent on screen, as the entire drama over Moonves' ousting from CBS played out.
Steering clear of directly addressing the long-drawn and spiraling controversy surrounding former CBS chief and husband Les Moonves, 'Big Brother' host Julie Chen sent a subtle show of support as she signed off on Thursday night. Chen, who returned to her hosting duties after a brief hiatus, looked into the cameras in the concluding moments and said, "I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Goodnight."
Indeed subtle, but a firm message from the 48-year-old TV show host, who has been visibly absent on screen in the last few days, as the entire drama over Moonves' ousting from CBS played out in the public eye. The 68-year-old former CEO and chairman of the network has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple accusers. However, his exit last Sunday came on the heels of a fresh New Yorker story that recounted the experiences of at least six women claiming they were harassed and even forced into oral sex.
While Chen has completely avoided discussing the topic of the sexual misconduct allegations against her husband on air, her message of solidarity made her stance on the issue pretty evident - a move that seemed to have not gone down well with the viewers of 'Big Brother', who have since taken to social media to express their shock and anger.
JDid you catch that? Julie said "I'm Julie Chen-Moonves" on her sign off...... #Bb20 pic.twitter.com/z53EDDlox6— Big Brother Gossip (@BBGossip) September 14, 2018
"I'm Julie Chen Moonves"— Alex 🙃 (@amdeeeeeee) September 14, 2018
That was so messy and insulting to his victims, go and stay gone Julie. #bb20 pic.twitter.com/TG765vFUjx
"Now THAT was a statement... "From outside the Big Brother House, I'm Julie Chen Moonves." I've NEVER heard her say "Moonves" for anything. Did anyone else catch that?" a Twitter user shared.
As a second user chimed in, writing, "'I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Goodnight.' Wow, Julie casts shade on CBS with that simple line. #BB20"
"Tonight, Julie Chen signed off Big Brother as Julie Chen Moonves, firmly standing w/her husband, a serial sexual assaulter who ruined careers. She is complicit. Because of this, I will no longer put any of my clients on @TheTalkCBS. Fellow publicists, I hope you stand with me," publicist and Emmy winner Danny Deraney wrote.
"'Julie Chen Moonves' can pack her things and go as far as I am concerned. That was like saying, 'I stand by my husband and all his victims can eat shit,'" added someone else.
There was some mixed reaction as well. Some fans were of opinion that it is pointless to drag Chen in her husband's matter.
"#BB20 fans, Julie Chen did nothing wrong at all. Wether or not the allegations about her husband are true or not, there is no need to consistently bash her for doing nothing wrong, if he did do that, she cannot control his actions. Big brother would not be the same without her," read the tweet.
Added another: "And by saying the words "I'm Julie Chen-Moonves", @JulieChen just showed herself to be a bigger man than anyone else in the house."

Man Made Global Warming not Just bad for the Environment but also bad for our Complexions
As more fossil fuels are burnt we are seeing the air contain more greasy, gassy particles which are the main cause of acne.
Al Gore is hoping acne on everyone's face will make them think more about what fossil fuels are doing to the environment. He plans on buying a massive motorhome and going town to town telling people how them burning fossil fuels is filling their own faces with acne. He will have oil reserves equipped on the motorhome and spray it onto cars and lawns as a representation of what fossil fuels are really made of.

Case Studies of Jobs Performed in the Indianapolis, IN Area
(Indianapolis, Indiana) – In the case of industrial accidents, even janitorial staff may lack the proper training and equipment necessary to deal with the remediation of blood and other biohazards. Further, when something tragic occurs to a co-worker, performing remediation can also place undue stress on the individuals responsible. Tragic and sometimes dangerous scenarios like these are best handled by a trauma cleanup crew who understands industrial standards and safety procedures. A few years ago, an employee of an Indianapolis area business was injured in a serious accident while on the job.
Aftermath Service Technicians were called to the facility to clean the affected machinery and remove all traces of potentially infectious biological material from the property. Aftermath technicians efficiently completed an extensive bio remediation process and followed necessary safety protocols to ensure that the company could return to their manufacturing and regular business with minimal interruption and in complete compliance with workplace safety guidelines. Aftermath's fast and efficient service provided for the health and safety of employees, while minimizing long-term effects to the business.
(Mishawaka, Indiana) – An unattended death is a sad and unexpected trauma for the survivors of the deceased. Adding to this anguish may be the painful reminder of how the loved one died. Aftermath can help ease the pain of such a tragedy by restoring the death scene to normalcy and remediating the home to a healthy state where healing can be better facilitated.
A man in Mishawaka, Indiana, accidentally bled to death due to a medical complication. Although the decedent was discovered later that day, the accident created a potentially serious health hazard. The risk of blood-borne pathogens in the atmosphere following this type of traumatic death necessitates professional biohazard remediation. In this case, Aftermath specialists safely cleaned up biological fluids in the bedroom, bathroom, and living room of the house. Our technicians are intensively trained to meet and even exceed local, state, and federal standards of health and safety. The client praised the trauma team for its care, concern, and courtesy, as well as for its professionalism and perfection. The customer added that Aftermath made an unbearable situation better.

For a viable business plan, startups must define their objectives and vision in their business plan, so that venture capitalists and other investors know what they want to achieve and whether they are feasible.
As well, business owners must define the target market and demographics in the business plan. It is also necessary as these also concentrate on competitor analysis, management structure, and organizational issues. This information will show the strengths and weaknesses of the business.
The other common mistake a small business does not adequately address is that it concentrates on the needed finance, but it disregards how it intends to spend that money and the reasons for spending. Accounting professionals like TempCFO financial accounting could save the day for you but always remember that your ledger is vital in the perspective of investors and venture capitalists. Because it is crucial for them to know how the business spend the money and why. These numbers are determining factors for them to evaluate whether the company spends money prudently so that it can be profitable and grow in the near future. This information must be included in the business plan so that it covers this vital information.
Another aspect is that the start-up financing small business do not adequately consider legal elements and licenses and zoning restrictions in the business plan. Any company, which overlooks legal aspects will suffer tangible consequences and will not stand the test of time because of heavy sanctions and eventual closure of the company if they do not secure the necessary licenses stipulated by their local government. That is in the business plan, legal aspects must be adequately covered so that it ensures its viability to operate legally.
In a legal sense, it must address environmental regulations applicable to the business as in the current business environment. Environmental issues are essential for many customer groups and community. As well, it is essential for many environmental groups.
Besides, many small businesses do not update their business plan on a continuous basis. If the business plan is not updated regularly, it may not be able to cope with economic changes, competitive pressure and demographic and social changes. Also, it may not be able to identify unmet customer needs so that it can identify growth opportunities. Therefore, any start-up financing of business must consider updating its business plan so that it is current and feasible business plan.
If a small business will address these mistakes comprehensively, then it can avoid failure and ensure survival and growth. As well, it will attract adequate and necessary capital as a start-up business and its viability in the eyes of investors.

This month marks the fiftieth anniversary of Stanley Kubrick's black comedy about nuclear weapons, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." Released on January 29, 1964, the film caused a good deal of controversy. Its plot suggested that a mentally deranged American general could order a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, without consulting the President. One reviewer described the film as "dangerous … an evil thing about an evil thing." Another compared it to Soviet propaganda. Although "Strangelove" was clearly a farce, with the comedian Peter Sellers playing three roles, it was criticized for being implausible. An expert at the Institute for Strategic Studies called the events in the film "impossible on a dozen counts." A former Deputy Secretary of Defense dismissed the idea that someone could authorize the use of a nuclear weapon without the President's approval: "Nothing, in fact, could be further from the truth." (See a compendium of clips from the film.) When "Fail-Safe"—a Hollywood thriller with a similar plot, directed by Sidney Lumet—opened, later that year, it was criticized in much the same way. "The incidents in 'Fail-Safe' are deliberate lies!" General Curtis LeMay, the Air Force chief of staff, said. "Nothing like that could happen." The first casualty of every war is the truth—and the Cold War was no exception to that dictum. Half a century after Kubrick's mad general, Jack D. Ripper, launched a nuclear strike on the Soviets to defend the purity of "our precious bodily fluids" from Communist subversion, we now know that American officers did indeed have the ability to start a Third World War on their own. And despite the introduction of rigorous safeguards in the years since then, the risk of an accidental or unauthorized nuclear detonation hasn't been completely eliminated.
The command and control of nuclear weapons has long been plagued by an "always/never" dilemma. The administrative and technological systems that are necessary to insure that nuclear weapons are always available for use in wartime may be quite different from those necessary to guarantee that such weapons can never be used, without proper authorization, in peacetime. During the nineteen-fifties and sixties, the "always" in American war planning was given far greater precedence than the "never." Through two terms in office, beginning in 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower struggled with this dilemma. He wanted to retain Presidential control of nuclear weapons while defending America and its allies from attack. But, in a crisis, those two goals might prove contradictory, raising all sorts of difficult questions. What if Soviet bombers were en route to the United States but the President somehow couldn't be reached? What if Soviet tanks were rolling into West Germany but a communications breakdown prevented NATO officers from contacting the White House? What if the President were killed during a surprise attack on Washington, D.C., along with the rest of the nation's civilian leadership? Who would order a nuclear retaliation then?
With great reluctance, Eisenhower agreed to let American officers use their nuclear weapons, in an emergency, if there were no time or no means to contact the President. Air Force pilots were allowed to fire their nuclear anti-aircraft rockets to shoot down Soviet bombers heading toward the United States. And about half a dozen high-level American commanders were allowed to use far more powerful nuclear weapons, without contacting the White House first, when their forces were under attack and "the urgency of time and circumstances clearly does not permit a specific decision by the President, or other person empowered to act in his stead." Eisenhower worried that providing that sort of authorization in advance could make it possible for someone to do "something foolish down the chain of command" and start an all-out nuclear war. But the alternative—allowing an attack on the United States to go unanswered or NATO forces to be overrun—seemed a lot worse. Aware that his decision might create public unease about who really controlled America's nuclear arsenal, Eisenhower insisted that his delegation of Presidential authority be kept secret. At a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he confessed to being "very fearful of having written papers on this matter."
President John F. Kennedy was surprised to learn, just a few weeks after taking office, about this secret delegation of power. "A subordinate commander faced with a substantial military action," Kennedy was told in a top-secret memo, "could start the thermonuclear holocaust on his own initiative if he could not reach you." Kennedy and his national-security advisers were shocked not only by the wide latitude given to American officers but also by the loose custody of the roughly three thousand American nuclear weapons stored in Europe. Few of the weapons had locks on them. Anyone who got hold of them could detonate them. And there was little to prevent NATO officers from Turkey, Holland, Italy, Great Britain, and Germany from using them without the approval of the United States.
In December, 1960, fifteen members of Congress serving on the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy had toured NATO bases to investigate how American nuclear weapons were being deployed. They found that the weapons—some of them about a hundred times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima—were routinely guarded, transported, and handled by foreign military personnel. American control of the weapons was practically nonexistent. Harold Agnew, a Los Alamos physicist who accompanied the group, was especially concerned to see German pilots sitting in German planes that were decorated with Iron Crosses—and carrying American atomic bombs. Agnew, in his own words, "nearly wet his pants" when he realized that a lone American sentry with a rifle was all that prevented someone from taking off in one of those planes and bombing the Soviet Union.
The Kennedy Administration soon decided to put locking devices inside NATO's nuclear weapons. The coded electromechanical switches, known as "permissive action links" (PALs), would be placed on the arming lines. The weapons would be inoperable without the proper code—and that code would be shared with NATO allies only when the White House was prepared to fight the Soviets. The American military didn't like the idea of these coded switches, fearing that mechanical devices installed to improve weapon safety would diminish weapon reliability. A top-secret State Department memo summarized the view of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1961: "all is well with the atomic stockpile program and there is no need for any changes."
After a crash program to develop the new control technology, during the mid-nineteen-sixties, permissive action links were finally placed inside most of the nuclear weapons deployed by NATO forces. But Kennedy's directive applied only to the NATO arsenal. For years, the Air Force and the Navy blocked attempts to add coded switches to the weapons solely in their custody. During a national emergency, they argued, the consequences of not receiving the proper code from the White House might be disastrous. And locked weapons might play into the hands of Communist saboteurs. "The very existence of the lock capability," a top Air Force general claimed, "would create a fail-disable potential for knowledgeable agents to 'dud' the entire Minuteman [missile] force." The Joint Chiefs thought that strict military discipline was the best safeguard against an unauthorized nuclear strike. A two-man rule was instituted to make it more difficult for someone to use a nuclear weapon without permission. And a new screening program, the Human Reliability Program, was created to stop people with emotional, psychological, and substance-abuse problems from gaining access to nuclear weapons.

Stanley Fish on education, law and society.
In the opening sentence of a key chapter in his new book on the academy, "No University Is an Island: Saving Academic Freedom," Cary Nelson, president of the American Association of University Professors and a self-identified leftist, makes an important, and conciliatory, point: "Although few students or faculty on American campuses who are on either the right or the left …are inclined to acknowledge each other's perspective, members of both groups feel beleaguered, isolated, outcast and underrepresented in their higher education environments." Later in the chapter Nelson allows that while political correctness is not the "all defining campus cultural force the right makes it out to be, it does operate, in some contexts absurdly." His own example of absurdity (it occurred in his home department) is a faculty appointment that was derailed when it was discovered that the candidate, then teaching in New Zealand, had written a letter to a newspaper criticizing the practice of going barefoot in public places on the grounds that it promoted the spread of disease. A department member decided that the letter "was an attack on the Maori people and thus racist," and even when it was determined that it is not the Maori, but "white hippies, who go barefoot in New Zealand, the majority voted against pursuing the candidate in order, says Nelson, to prove "themselves to colleagues of color."
"We can do better," Nelson admonishes, and a bit of evidence that we may in fact be doing better is provided by the appearance of another new book coming from the opposite political direction, " The Politically Correct University: Problems, Scope, and Reforms," a compilation of essays edited by Robert Maranto, Richard E. Redding and Frederick M. Hess for the press of the American Enterprise Institute. What makes this volume different from its predecessors in the "you-won't-believe-what-liberals-have-done-to-our universities" series is the absence of hysteria and the presence of moderation. In a brilliant feat of organization, the editors begin with contributions that are soberly statistical and give substance and considerable nuance to what has too often been a polemic supported largely by incendiary anecdotes (of the kind provided by Nelson.) Rather than simply observing that the vast majority of academics in the humanities and social sciences self-identify as left-of-center (as they surely do) and then proceeding without any intervening steps to the conclusion that the imbalance must be redressed immediately lest chaos come again, the authors of these essays stop to interrogate this undoubted fact with a view to determining how it came to be, what it means, and what, if anything, can or should be done about it.
Their first conclusion is that the predominance of liberals in the academy is not "the result of intentional discrimination." No one, that is, designed it. Their second conclusion is that it may be self-correcting in time as an older generation of 1960s radicals is replaced by a more pragmatic cadre of scholars for whom the '60s are a piece of history. (That is what some on the left fear.) Their third conclusion is that a few "fervent idealists" get "disproportionate attention" while the majority of teachers, even those with liberal political views, tend to be moderate. Their fourth conclusion is that personality traits which antedate the experience of college and graduate school lead to a sorting out that may be regrettable, but is benign: "Personal preferences in combination seem to have a greater impact on conservatives' educational aspirations than any other factors." In other words, conservatives are not being kept out of the academy by a liberal power structure, but are making choices dictated by the fact that they are "more family oriented, more focused on financial success, less interested in making a theoretical contribution to science." (Remember, this is a conclusion reached by researchers on the conservative side of the aisle.) Their final conclusion is that because so many factors not under conscious control contribute to the "ideological imbalance that permeates academia," that imbalance may be "intractable," that is, not capable of being altered by some program of social engineering.
Of course one might disagree with these conclusions and question the methods that generate them, but it would be hard to deny that they are offered with the appropriate reservations and in a spirit that eschews polemics. In some of the essays that follow, polemics of the kind we remember from the '90s occasionally reappear, especially when the topic is "intellectual diversity": the idea (championed by David Horowitz) that if diversity is the watchword of liberal academics, why do they not move to remedy the lack of diversity in the ideological makeup of the faculty and in the texts they assign?" The reasoning is that "just as minority students may feel alienated in educational environments lacking minority professors or culturally sensitive course content, conservative students may feel alienated when few (often none) of their professors share or respect their views and when conservative perspectives are excluded from pedagogy."
This is an identity politics argument — pedagogical choices should track ideological and tribal affiliations — which, as many have pointed out, is a program of affirmative action for conservatives. I would object to it, as I have in the past, by observing that intellectual diversity is a political, not an educational, measure, but Professor James Caesar, writing in the same volume, does it for me when he declares that "Universities are not, or at any rate should not be, representative institutions that are asked to meet the criterion of what political theorist Hanna Pitkin once called 'descriptive representation', or a mirroring of the society at large." That is to say, neither the faculty nor the works they teach should be required to "look like America"; rather the criteria for selection should be strictly academic both when faculty are being hired or promoted and when syllabi are being constructed.
The call for intellectual diversity is, as the volume's authors acknowledge, less philosophical than strategic; it is designed to embarrass liberal academics who are dedicated to what Peter Wood calls the "diversity regime" in academia. Liberals, says Wood, "cannot repudiate the value of intellectual diversity without kicking the traces out from under their own doctrine" in which race, class, and gender become proxies "for intellectual differences." Wood frankly embraces the "appropriation" by his side of a term that he says (correctly) is already "an aggressive ideology that stigmatizes and attempts to drive out anyone who does not … support it." Why not turn it to our advantage, he implies, and hoist them on their own petard? The answer is that it would be better if all sides acknowledged that "diversity" is a word that has lost whatever usefulness it may have had and has become an umbrella rationale for importing political criteria into the process of academic decision-making. We should be done with it.
Cary Nelson would seem to agree, at least when the story of the unsuccessful applicant from New Zealand prompts him to conclude that identity politics thinking leads faculty "to mistreat one another and to politicize their own decision making." He counsels that we should "stop seeking to be agents of the victims of the first rank," for "the price we pay otherwise is that identity politics and its effects rule our professional decisions." Witness, for example (it is his example), the fact that "the only socially and politically acceptable stance for some people in academia is that Israel has no right to exist, has no moral or political legitimacy, and must be dissolved into a larger regional nation-state." The tendency to tie "program planning, hiring, and tenure decisions" to one's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will, Nelson warns, make those matters "impossible to negotiate." (Already happening.) We must recognize, he concludes, "that the dangers to critical thinking on campus come not just from the organized right outside the university, but also from internal intolerance and self-delusion."
Wise words (which mirror the concession made by the A.E.I. authors), but Nelson does not see their relevance to his insistence that it is entirely appropriate for professors to voice their personal and political views in the classroom: "A complete prohibition on political speech not relevant to the subject would disable American pedagogy" by preventing instructors from reacting to great events. "Some of us believe national tragedies can trump the syllabus for a day, whether for an open discussion or an impassioned lecture." But why stop at national tragedies? Why not extend the latitude to political tragedies, that is, to the election of a president who is, in an instructor's view, on the wrong side of every issue? And why not extend the latitude further to include personal tragedies, to the mistreatment you think you have suffered at the hands of a corrupt university administration? Once the syllabus can be "trumped" by something, the way is open to its being trumped by anything.
To his credit, Nelson expresses uneasiness at his part in creating an academic word where "'the professional is the political.' " If he now believes, as he says, that we should "set aside our political differences in tenure decisions," he should also believe that we should leave our political differences and commitments outside the classroom door. The reason he gives for declining to do so is that a classroom free of political passion would be overly reasonable and contribute to the acceptance of the status quo: "The relentlessly reasonable classroom may reinforce confidence in the reasonableness of the nation state in which it resides." Get it? If you confine yourself to the subject and preside over reasoned discussions of the assigned materials, you will be turning your students into toadies for the neoliberal state. I guess you would also be courting that danger if you arrived at class on time, and devised objective tests and assigned grades accordingly. In the face of an argument like this one, there is literally nothing to say.
Still, the passages I have cited in the previous paragraphs constitute only a small portion of Nelson's book. In many of its other pages he offers informed and acute analyses of our present situation and its discontents, and this is especially true of his chapters on unionization, tenure, and the emergence in recent decades of a "contingent" faculty, untenured, underpaid, undervalued, overburdened, and vulnerable to every form of pressure one can imagine. (There is also a chapter arguing that academic freedom requires the institutionalization of "shared governance," a position with which I strongly disagree: academic freedom and forms of governance are independent variables.) Nelson recalls (accurately) that when he and I discussed the role of politics in the classroom at a public forum and he reported proudly on his practice of inserting the names Bush and Cheney into a poem about a past military disaster, I declared that "If I were Cary's dean, I would fire him immediately." But upon reflection, and after having read this impassioned and worthwhile book, I am moved to reconsider.
Indeed I would welcome not only Nelson but all the contributors to "The Politically Correct University" as faculty members in my college, if I still presided over one. On the evidence of what they have written, they are capable of tempering (without abandoning) their partisan commitments in an effort to look closely and clearly at the state of higher education and propose solutions to the problems acknowledged by all parties. No one (as I have demonstrated in this column) will agree with everything these two books say, but reading them together, and in counterpoint, is a genuinely educational experience. Rather than merely cheering for your side and booing at the other, you actually learn something.

We tend to equate hospitality with parties and social gatherings or gracious resorts and expensive restaurants. To us hospitality is an industry, not a practice, one that summons Martha Stewart to mind more quickly than Jesus Christ. But to ancient Christians hospitality was a virtue, part of the love of neighbor and fundamental to being a person of the way. While contemporary Christians tend to equate morality with sexual ethics, our ancestors defined morality as welcoming the stranger
Unlike almost every other contested idea in early Christianity, including the nature of Christ and the doctrine of the Trinity, the unanimous witness of the ancient fathers and mothers was that hospitality was the primary Christian virtue.
— Diana Butler Bass, A People's History of Christianity
When reading this passage I can't help but think about the health care "debate" going on right now in the U.S.. One so often hears of the inherent "Christian" nature of our country but it seems very strange that providing health care for all is a kind of blasphemy. When reading the gospels, it's hard to find a sliver enthusiasm for the free market philosophy where it's just tough shit if you can't afford care.
The fact of the matter is that hard working people are denied basic health care in this country each and every day. We've failed as a society to be hospitable, be it privately or publicly.

I just want the game to stop prompting me to bind to that account, I don't care if it is deleted or whatever. I just want to maintain my current account with the details above.
Thanks in advance

The 4th of July, a national holiday whose observance transcends all races, all religions, all ethnicities. Yes, Mr. Trump, we are all – except for our Native American citizens – a nation of immigrants, your family included. How wonderful to celebrate our diversity AND at once our unity. That is America. That is July 4th!
Oh how I love to watch fireworks. I was living in St Louis at the time of the bicentennial. What an awe-inspiring celebration was to be had on the waterfront. Fireworks reflected on water are breath-taking.
Last night we watched the D.C. fireworks. They did not disappoint. And we loved the entertainment, reflecting the diverse preferences of us all, ranging from Joshua Bell, violinist, to Chita Rivera, amazing legendary costar of the original West Side Story, to pop, rock and gospel singers whose names are far beyond my ken.
At the end of the evening I was both happy and sad. Happy to have seen a truly patriotic display in our nation's capital. Sad to have not seen it first hand. But, I really can't complain. It was literally and figuratively cool to watch first class fireworks from the comfort of our home, with bowls of ice cream nestled in our hands.

The Polite Protesters of Watford FC
Each year, for our summer issue, we ask regular contributors to sum up the season just gone at their respective clubs. The following is from Jonny Brick, on Watford FC which sadly, we couldn't fit in the forthcoming Issue 18.
Keep you eye out for release of that, coming soon and in the meantime – why not buy Jonny's digital book – Saturday, 3pm: A Guide to Modern Football, here.
Betty Marks, my ninety-year-old great-great-aunt, spoke to Watford Football Club on the final day of the 2015/6 season. As is the case for fourteen hundred others, including Betty's daughter, son-in-law, grandson and great-grandchildren, her seat in the Upper Graham Taylor stand will be different in 2016/7.
In February the club announced that they were putting in an additional 220 seats for corporate guests and asked supporters 'to move an equal number of seats – twelve – in a lateral direction away from the centre.' Those at the end of the rows would move to a new row, or will have had the chance to claim a seat elsewhere in the ground.
One fan, Nick Gibb, protested against this by covering his seat with a black bin liner, but eventually fans came to think the same as when Sean Dyche was let go, when Matej Vydra was sent on loan to Reading, when Fernando Forestieri was sold to Sheffield Wednesday and when Almen Abdi was played out wide when every fan knows he plays best just behind the front two.
Que sera, sera. In Pozzo We Trust.
The South-West corner of Vicarage Road, which visitors will know as being permanently under construction for about ten years, is now home to the 1881 Movement. Aghast on hearing silence at Wembley Stadium back in the 2013 Championship Play-off Final, Roy Moore took the initiative and has, for three seasons, literally flown the flag for the fan movement at Watford FC.
The club is not known for its boisterous fanbase, but there are a couple of hundred diehard fans who bleed yellow, black and red. The 1881 bunker, complete with snooker table, is a great social place for fans who would travel to the ends of Europe if and when Watford have to play a preliminary qualifier for the 2017/8 Europa League.
Paul Tucker sits in the Rookery End, like the fans in the 1881. Along with Dad, Simon and Brother Gary, he has followed Watford FC for three decades, and he and Paul are pundits on the Ronny and Ramage podcast. Paul has seen negligent owners come and go, and remembers the success of 1999/2000 when Watford went up to the Premiership for the first time and the years of highs and lows that followed, including mismanagement of the club in the middle of the decade.
'I wouldn't call it a protest as such,' Paul says of the dissent shown by Watford fans in 2008. 'We had big earners on the books, and the club kept players on the same wages, so the relegation in 2007 made the club go to pieces.
'What have we got to protest about today? The club is going in a superb direction, but football fans will always find something to moan about. The bin liner protest was effing ridiculous!
'I was talking to a Brentford fan and he said it was sad they will be leaving Griffin Park. But they have to move on because they have no corporate facilities, which means zero revenues. If they want to grow they need a better ground that is all-seater, and commercial revenues coming in. Watford has the same. More tourists are coming from abroad to come to watch Ighalo, for example.'
Watford are in a position to create memories, as they did under Graham Taylor in the early 1980s and in 1999, when Watford were first promoted to the top division in the modern football era.
Elton John's 2015 track Looking Up goes as follows: 'I'm looking up more than I look down/ The view's a whole lot better second time around.'
Elton was present for the final home game of the 2015/6 season. There is a video of him hugging Heurelho Gomes, the club's Player of the Year. Still the club's most successful and loyal fan, Elton often phones the Watford manager as well as captain Troy. He famously cried when Watford lost the 1984 FA Cup Final at Wembley, and made sure he was at least in the country for the 2016 FA Cup Final (the UK leg of his summer tour was in rehearsals in May). He was in Las Vegas, in his residency with his 'Million Dollar Piano', the weekend of the semi-final, although he was rumoured to have flown in for the game.
In a year of protest against owners, the only protest Elton himself has, as he mentioned the week he opened the Sir Elton John Stand at Vicarage Road in December 2014, is that he cannot go to games as often as he wants. In his years running the club, he would play shows at the Vic which would draw crowds of thousands.
In 1976 Elton had bought the club as a 28-year-old pop-megastar who was selling out stadiums in America. In 1996, as a 48-year-old rock openly gay pop star who had set up a foundation to support AIDS victims, Elton agreed to put money back into the club only if the man called GT would manage the club. GT has spoken out recently against the way owners run the club; in his day Elton left him alone to run the playing side of things.
I write in my book Saturday 3pm (out now digitally) that Brian Clough and Alex Ferguson were the real runners of their clubs, and Arsene Wenger has much of the power at his club today. Any player who had earned millions and would want the stress and impotence of managing a club, liable to be sacked by an owner or have his players down tools in order to get rid of him, is lying or foolish or very confident in his own abilities.
While fans of Arsenal and Everton, two of the most stable, best-run and financially prudent clubs, moan about their managers, many Watford fans had their way when the club terminated the contract of Quique Sanchez Flores after twelve months. The final home game against Sunderland, which finished 2-2 with, aptly, a goal each for Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo, will be remembered for the fitting send-off given to the bearded heart-throb who came from Spain and kept Watford in the Premier League. He also gave fans a day at Wembley, even though the 1-2 defeat to Crystal Palace was not in the game plan. It has been an amazing season, led by an amazing coach who agreed to seek alternative employers.
For the first time in many years, the manager was not sacked or did not decide to move on of his own accord. In recent years Misters Zola and Sannino have had to write letters upon their resignation. Sean Dyche was ejected over summer, and Malky Mackay and Brendan Rodgers both accepted jobs elsewhere. Aidy Boothroyd, who took Watford up then down then almost up again, was pretty much unloved when he left the club in 2008 after three exciting seasons.
Success is relative, and fans should not be blinded by league positions or heavy defeats to top sides; the aggregate score in the three Arsenal games was 8-2, with both Watford goals coming in the FA Cup Quarter-Final. Nobody remembers the trophies as much as the memories and great young things making an impact.
Aidy's management brought in the superb young talents of John-Joe O'Toole (now of Northampton Town) and the two men who played on opposing sides in the 2016 FA Cup Final: Ashley Young of Man United, and Aidy Mariappa of Crystal Palace, proving that Watford did get to Wembley after all.
One of the most tedious accusations levelled at Senor Flores was that he was 'tactically naïve' and had 'no Plan B'. His tactic was to find through balls to the front two, using skilful players out wide who were not necessarily byline-hitting wingers. Jose Jurado and Almen Abdi were key components of the 2015/6 season, while Etienne Capoue dazzled fans and opponents with his ball skills. He should have scored more than zero goals, though, for a £6.2m club record signing.
In January 2016 the Pozzo family spent money on three players: reserve goalie Costel Pantilimon came in from Sunderland, while Nordin Amrabat and Mario Suarez bolstered options in midfield. Both men, who have been capped by their international sides, have now had half a season to adjust to the Premier League. 2016/7 will be a season they should shine, though Suarez came to Watford after playing for Atletico Madrid and was truly 'Quique's man'.
Interestingly, new manager Walter Mazzarri (a spit for Alec Baldwin) managed two Watford players while guiding Napoli to finishes of sixth, third, fifth and second. In that time, he managed both Miguel Britos and Valon Behrami, two of Watford's signings for the 2015/6 season, as well as the likes of Vargas of Chile, Cavani of Uruguay, Lavezzi of Argentina. At Inter Milan in 2013/4 he finished fifth with a squad including Juan Jesus, Mateo Kovacic, Fredy Guarin, Esteban Cambiasso and the young maverick striker Mauro Icardi.
Mazzarri has proven he can get the best out of top talent such as these. With Luke Dowling, in charge of player recruitment, working with a silly budget of around £60m thanks to the guaranteed TV money, I am sure Mazzarri will recommend some of his former players. Juan Jesus was one of the first to be linked to the club.
As of the end of May 2016, Watford have brought in or are bringing in four players, including young Englishman Jerome Sinclair, unable to progress to the Liverpool first team. £8m midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure came from Rennes and impressed for Granada for the remainder of the season, while Adalberto Penaranda was found by one of the many scouts the Pozzos have employed to find the next Alexis Sanchez, whom they had found and brought to Udinese.
Ighalo, Allan Nyom and Forestieri have all come to Europe after being scouted by someone reporting back to the Pozzos. If there are duds – just ask a Watford fan to explain the reasoning behind Jean-Alain Fanchone's loan move to Watford in 2012/3 – then they are negated by superb attacking talent in Ighalo, Forestieri (now at Sheffield Wednesday but still held highly at Watford) and Matej Vydra.
Alarmingly, though, at the end of the 2015/6 season eight under-21 players were released from the club, including Georgie Byers, Josh Doherty and Bernard Mensah, three bright talents to have come from the Academy and who have all played for the first team at some stage. Tommie Hoban and Sean Murray, two former regular first-team players, have dropped down the order and may be surplus to Mazzarri.
'They aren't good enough,' says Paul Tucker of the players who were released. 'Take Jorrell Johnson, a promising centre-back who went out on loan. If the main centre-backs are out then we have others, like Angella and Ekstrand, on top of the players we'll sign before the window closes.
'The mentality has to change from when we were under Dyche and Mackay, when we needed the kids to supplement the team due to circumstance. We weren't able back then to sign the quality of players we sign today.
'It seems we are going to poach some young players from Manchester City and Arsenal when they are eighteen and haven't made it. We had Bellerin on loan and he looked good; he got football, because there was nobody from our under-18s or under-21s to step up. It is sensible to change the policy and release those young players. If one or two comes through, then great. But Connor Smith wasn't good enough, and Sean Murray did, before he went off the rails.'
I mention Britt Assombalonga who played for the first team under Dyche. 'He came back when he was at Forest and his body shape is totally different. We were offered silly money from Peterborough and you couldn't turn that down. I don't think we'll see Alex Jakubiak [2015/6 Young Player of the Year] play next year, maybe he was kept on because we don't have that many strikers.
'Tommie Hoban is a good player and he came in aged fourteen from Arsenal. He's one of our own, but we nicked him from another club.'
Troy Deeney, the heartbeat and soul of the club, is club captain and has a pivotal role reporting player concerns to the coach. Watford's number nine has remained loyal to his employer. The Pozzo family took over the club in the month that Troy was sent to prison for his part in a brawl outside a nightclub in January 2012. He has repaid them with an astonishing goal return, with twenty in each of the first three seasons.
In May 2016 the Pozzo family sold Granada, the club they had bought in 2009 and taken to La Liga with the help of Odion Ighalo's goals, to DeSports, a sports marketing agency based in Asia. They had formed an alliance in March with Gino Pozzo and Media Base Sports (MBS), who look after players like Luis Suarez, Andres Iniesta and Thiago Alcantara. The next thing for Watford fans to monitor is the Pozzo interest in Chinese football and its new league.
Signor Pozzo, Watford's present owner (in both senses of the word, as he lives locally), was out in China in March to, as MBS's website says, 'strengthen football in China by exporting their management philosophy and to bridge the commercial gap between Europe and the Asian nation.'
Perhaps this was the reason Gino wanted to add those 220 seats: for the Chinese visitors to the Vic in 2016/7! Who can say, but any move to increase revenue on the commercial side is welcome in a league in which the top clubs turn over astonishing amounts of money which can be used to purchase better players.
I ask Paul Tucker what it will take for him to protest about anything the Pozzos do. 'So many owners use the clubs for other means or they strip the assets, but I'll be happy as long as the future of the club is safeguarded. Money should be reinvested back into the club, but Udinese should stay strong too, especially after we took players like Isaac Success and Adalberto Penaranda from Granada.
'The price of the away tickets has now been resolved by the Premier League's £30 quid cap. If the club put up the cost of the season tickets that would really annoy me!'
Given that his ticket cost around £400, the club are looking after its most loyal supporters even as a Premier League club. Long may it continue! In Pozzo we trust.

"Editor's Note: There are a few things that completely terrify me in this world. Brown Recluse spiders, the Saw movies, waking up in a bathtub filled with ice minus a vital organ… things like that. But, the waves that Jaws produced today? They're on a whole different level of terrifying, to me.
I think I could take the tiny little brown spider if I had to. I'd also like to think I could outsmart that silly clown puppet guy in Saw. However, I don't really think there's too much I could do about hoodlums trying to harvest my kidneys. Whatever. The boys killed it today in good fashion. Enjoy every terrifying second of this one.
Pe'ahi 2/11/16: I awoke at about 4am, showered, and arrived at Pe'ahi at about 5am. I sat and watched the stars from the quiet cliff, drinking coffee, and listening to the swell pulse. Upon first light, the swell was still holding decent waves (15-20+ feet) and the winds were light. Highlights of the day were Shane Dorian getting a couple bombs, Seth Moniz charging, and Tyler Larronde's wipeout where he punched a solid hole through his board with his leg.
By about 11am the winds had picked up and the swell had started to fade away. The pack of 20+ surfers slowly shrank to eight, and in similar fashion, the cliff proceeded to empty out, as well. I shot the whole session with a Canon 7D and Sigma 150-600mm lens."

The Pacific Northwest's "new normal" is starting to feel like old normal in Washington's Methow Valley.
This is the fifth summer in a row that wildfire season has hit the Methow Valley especially hard, causing hazardous smoke conditions that persist for weeks and leaving residents feeling trapped and isolated.
Cooped up inside, valley residents can get a little stir-crazy as they watch summer drift by in a haze. The alternative—wearing a mask to go outside—only adds to the sense of apocalypse.
So Kelly Edwards with the University of Washington's Interdisciplinary Center for Exposures, Diseases, Genomics and Environment (EDGE) decided to try a new strategy this summer to help community members manage their health while also bringing people together for a little fun.
Connecting at the farmers market
A resident of the Methow Valley herself, Edwards is an adjunct professor in the UW Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS) and EDGE's director of community engagement.
She also works with the Methow Valley Clean Air Project, a local effort to expand a grassroots network of sensors providing local, up-to-the-minute air quality data.
She partnered with two community members, Anthony Twig Wheeler, a leader in somatic therapy, and clinical herbalist Robin Baire, who specializes in teas and tinctures to combat the inflammatory response triggered by smoke exposure. The three worked with Amanda Durkin, a DEOHS undergraduate summer research intern, to set up a booth at the Twisp Farmers Market last week.
The group plans a similar engagement event on Saturday as part of a "stress-less" workshop and community dance party with local radio station KTRT on the Twispworks campus from 5 pm to 8 pm.
Making a mask your own
At the farmers market, visitors shared how the smoke is affecting them and tried samples of therapeutic tea. Edwards and Durkin passed out air masks provided by EDGE, encouraging people to color on them with non-toxic markers.
"We wanted to give people the right kind of masks," says Edwards, "but we also wanted them to make them their own. Adding color made them more fun to wear and also kept people from looking sick."
The N95 masks are capable of filtering out tiny particulate matter that poses a health risk. Unlike many masks provided by public health agencies, these masks have an air-exchange pocket at the nose to make exhalation easier and keep internal temperatures cooler.
When will the smoke clear?
Along with the masks, Kelly distributed a handout designed for schoolchildren with simple messages about what's in wildfire smoke and how to take care of yourself until it passes.
One of the biggest insights from the activity was recognizing the benefit of framing simple, helpful information in a positive way, Edwards says.
One suggestion reads: Remind yourself that you're OK, and the smoke will go away again.
"This is what I really needed to hear today," one older community member told Edwards.

Are "hook up" apps leading to a new kind of dating culture on college campuses? Dating apps like Tinder and Bumble are have a different impact on the lives of college students versus older daters. Many students are using these apps to circumvent the romantic gatekeeping that campus party culture has long dominated.
It was the devastating problems linked to the dramatic shift from farm to factory during the nineteenth century that fueled sociology's origins, whether we turn to Comte, Marx, Weber, Durkheim, or Simmel. Building on the eighteenth-century Enlightenment spirit of the power of reason and freedom as well as the triumphs of the biophysical sciences, they envisaged a powerful science of human behavior that could solve those problems.

The Sabotage Legend
The first short sound film by the Tri-Ergon Department of Ufa, "Das Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern" (The Little Match Girl), was a failed attempt to establish the primacy of the sound-on-film process. The reason for this failure was thought to be more than just technical problems. As it has happened often in Germany's history, a rumor arose at the time that foreign powers were involved. The equipment was supposedly sabotaged, so that the premiere, and with it, the entire sound-on-film experiment, would be fated to run aground due to technical defects. Specifically, it was suspected (by Guido Bagier, for instance, who was the artistic director of the Tri-Ergon Department as well as the director of "Das Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern" that the sabotage was carried out by the United States. Following the unsuccessful film premiere on December 20, 1925, Bagier wrote in his notes: "Outside, in the hall, I met the inventor, Dr. Engl, pale and barely in control of himself: 'Someone must have caused a short in the batteries during the night - this is purposeful sabotage!' But there was nothing to be done about the wretched outcome. Was it even possible to ascertain who was responsible? As I slunk out into the lobby with Kapellmeister Wagner (...) I heard, unnoticed, how a man who seemed to be a foreigner whispered to his companion: 'It worked - the German sound film is finished!'" (Bagier, Guido: "'Ton mehr aufdrehen – verstärken!' Guido Bagier über die Tri-Ergon-Abteilung der Ufa", in: Hans-Michael Bock / Michael Töteberg (eds.): Das Ufa-Buch, Frankfurt/Main, 1992, p. 247)

I made this little zipper mouth monster for Tim over the long weekend. He's a pretty fun creation but I've discovered he also has a rather naughty side.
Lara's monsters are sweet and lady-like and Jodie's cheeky boys generally polite and nicely-mannered but this guy… what a potty-mouth. He stays firmly zipped so that his suggestion of what we might like to do on Friday night* doesn't get around and you can continue believing the carefully constructed illusion that I'm a lovely, well-behaved primary teacher and your children will be safe with me.
* It's a quote from Jaws. If you google 'Jaws quotes' and look for one from Ellen Brody, you'll see it 😉

Lady Gaga Opens Up About Her Battle with Depression
Lady Gaga shows off her toned torso while leaving her apartment and going to Z100 studios on Monday morning (September 12) in New York City.
The 30-year-old singer opened up about her battle with depression in a new interview with The Mirror.
"I needed a moment to stabilize," Gaga said about her break after releasing her last album. "When my career took off, I don't remember anything at all. It's like I'm traumatized. I needed time to recalibrate my soul."
"I take medication. I'm not saying I feel good because of the medication – I wouldn't encourage young people to take anti-depressants or mood stabilizers," she added. "I openly admit to having battled depression and anxiety and I think a lot of people do. I think it's better when we all say: 'Cheers!' And 'fess up to it."
FYI: Gaga is wearing John Fluevog boots.

Letter to the Editor: Doesn't stand up to scrutiny
Sutherland's description of "partnerships" between Hydro-Quebec and Indigenous and local communities doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Sutherland points to the 2012 COMEX report about Hydro-Quebec's "consultation" with the Cree. The report shows Hydro-Quebec was forced by a permit condition to talk to the Cree whose land it would destroy for yet another round of megadam construction. The 2002 permit condition followed almost thirty years of problematic relationships with local communities. In 2011, Hydro-Quebec still had not complied with the 2002 condition, repeatedly tried to be "excused" from talking to the Cree, managed to get two postponements, and was finally dragged to the table by the COMEX panel in 2012.
Not only did Hydro-Quebec behave badly and have to be forced to consult with the Cree, but the COMEX report details the destruction caused by Hydro-Quebec's dam building mania. The report contains 72 pages, single spaced, setting out a litany of economic, social and environmental "impacts"– in other words, irreversible damage to human health, the environment, fisheries, caribou, and communities. Methylmercury poisoning, altered river flows, warming waters, depleted salmon and sturgeon stocks, decimation of caribou herds -- the list goes on.
Sutherland claims all this destruction is warranted and the deals with the Indigenous communities are needed because we must have hydropower to fight climate change. This is a lie. Hydropower dams are a climate disaster. For one, they destroy carbon-sequestering forests –a scientific, peer reviewed report out days ago shows the central forests play in fighting the climate crisis and preserving biodiversity. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6448/76 Hydro-Quebec has destroyed 6 million acres. Its' La Grande megaproject alone destroyed 4,376 square miles of primarily Indigenous lands. Hydro-Quebec's operations release massive amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas about 30 times worse than carbon dioxide. Hydropower greenhouse gas emissions are not accounted for by state or federal governments or on the international level, and they should be. By the time Hydro-Quebec's current dam building boom is done, only two of Quebec's 17 major river systems will remain untouched. More dams are planned.
There is no way to paper over the scale of Hydro-Quebec's destruction. This electricity comes with unacceptable social, economic, and environmental costs.

Your letter doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Hydro-Quebec is a 100% provincial government owned and operated utility company. And the Cree don't live in skin huts on the plains and forested regions any more, they benefit from the electricity just like everybody else does(just as New Hampshire does). Even the Canadian experts say the caribou populations fluctuate and they are so wide spread that an accurate count can't be obtained, It is widely penned that the biggest threat they face is loss of forage from forest fires and predation. Counts range from 1.9 million animals to 2.6 million animals. One herd of caribou went from 190,000 animals in 1991, to more than 600,000 animals in 2002 to 400,000 animals in 2012. Canada has an estimated 34,000 boreal caribou scattered across 51 areas, Alaska has 49,000 Boreal caribou. And salmon, out of 2600 sites, only 137 are currently being monitored so once again no accurate counts can be made. And Methyl mercury is a naturally occurring element that is literally everywhere in trace amounts. China gives off more methane than the US and Canada combined. And the trees and plants die and regrow every year and they decay into dirt, but under water they don't come back again, so flooding a region from a man made reservoir actually reduces methane emissions because there is no repeated life cycle for the plants.
Great letter that outlines both the destruction of the indigenous tribes' lands as well as countering the climate change claim that seems to be a rallying cry for HQ's supporters. Hope someone takes time to really understand this letter.
Another environmental impact to consider by holding all this water behind hydro-dams is the natural springtime meltdown of snow pack does not occur each year to stir up the waters in the Gulf of Maine to ensure the health and welfare of the New England fishing industry. Progress at any price is not progress, Hydro-Quebec.
This whole bully takeover that they are trying to do (with the Governors help), is a new low.
Lies, lies and more lies.
Shame on them.
Canadas reputation as this clean "nicer"country is a farce.
They are raping their land with their mining practices and all these hydro dams.
Wasn't long so that they were still taking native children from their families to "teach" them a different way....
That country has no problem destroying land and people for $$$.
They are famous for saying "sorry",, but it's just a saying.
Don't be fooled by their marketing.
We have to take care of ourselves before they just plain take it all from us.
No Corridor.
No Gov Mills (asap)
No Canadian or Spanish takeovers.
No CMP tricks.
No, No, No...
Hydro can be clean and renewable if done right. The way HQ impounds vast areas of what was previously forest and "bullies and poisons" the natives is unconscionable. The "greenwashing" of dirty Quebec hydro is just one on several aspects of the NECEC that do not pass the smell test. I am glad it is being exposed for what it is.
For the record,.... my agreement was with Margaret's letter, not HBs comment.
Since the paid off Governor is digging her heels in,
We will put this to a State Wide Vote.
And she will be gone after one term.
That's what you get for turning your back on the citizens.
Bad Behavior by Mills.
Statewide Vote? Did I miss something? Since when have the people gotten to decide what businesses do or don't do? How about that new 22 windmill site that just got approved for Hancock county
22 turbines
600ft tall with a 13,200sqft footprint.
10 miles of roads 4 miles use existing logging roads plus 6 miles of new roads, 40ft in width
30 miles of transmission line corridor to be cleared and maintained.
8 temporary meteorological towers 400ft tall
5 permanent meteorological towers 400ft tall
clear 110,000sqft of special wetlands and soil disturbance within a protected Inland Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat, that's pretty significant, oh and they are using the same herbicides that CMP is going to use.
Owned by Longroad Energy out of Boston Massachusetts.
Yet nothing but crickets from the peanut gallery on this project, huh?
Actually this is the first I have heard hrtlss thanks for mentioning it. I will be sure to express concern when I call the PUC tomorrow about these proposed increases by CMP.
Hrtlss, please get the petition going for the wind turbines, that can be your baby. It's difficult to fight every battle at once. #saynotonecec
No one should be surprised that these projects go in "under the radar" of the public.
These big companies love dealing with the likes of HrtlssBstrd, Janet Mills and anyone who can be bought behind the scenes.
Awww, you can express your concern now... But it's too late.
They come in,,
buy out a landowner,,
quietly buy off whoever they need to..
Voila !!
Then we hear of it.
Too late.
HB is "partially" correct about private property and our rights as property owners.
But,,,, eminent domain would not exist if it were only about the property owners rights.
Corporations should not be able to have it both ways, like they do now.
I'm so grateful for those making all the noise about this BS Corridor.
It may fail in the end but at least we got to about the crap out of some people.
Notice... Mentioning a state wide vote got a reaction.. That's because it will kill the damn thing.and they know it. They hate it when the little people wake up!! LOL..
No Frickin Corridor.
Janet Mills coming under fire for supporting the Corridor plans. It took longer than I expected, but her identification with the Hillary Wing of her party made it inevitable. Expect it to grow.
Hear hear, Sneeky. Everyone decries crony capitalism - until it is THEIR party/person doing it, making those connections and floods of dollars behind the scenes. Then they hide behind emotional appeals about "environment", "sustainability", "The children" (whose future they are mortgaging) and so on. What a nice scam they have going! You CAN'T oppose it, or you HATE the earth! If you oppose a policy - you HATE children, you want them do die! HATE! (see how it works?)
Geez, wake up people, take a critical view of your government. Most already think PEOPLE are crooked, out to only make a buck - and they think the 'best and brightest' end up in AUGUSTA??? Wow, so naive - those aren't PEOPLE down there? LIMIT GOV'T NOW PLEASE.
As always...done in one....VOTE HER, and THEIR, RADICAL PARTY, out. THIS time, their actions are going to hurt EVERYONE...will we learn NOW??
