We are not against American beef
I finished reading George Kerr’s “Formosa Betrayed” a few days ago. It took me about two months to finish it because I had to pause many times to process all the complex feelings of hurt and shame. How little had I known about the island Formosa that had born and raised me!
On this island, most people about my age grew up learning political propaganda as if it were real history. So convinced were we that even when “Formosa Betrayed” was no longer banned by the government, very few were interested in reading it. We are so used to thinking that “the government is always right,” just as we believe that “parents are always right.” Many shut their ears off or feel offended upon hearing criticism of the government. They might even say “It is not easy to run a government”, getting slightly cross.
I would accept the above statement only if the government worked truly for the well-being of the people and made decisions based on democratic values. However, it was clear that KMT, ever since it fled the Communist China and built an exile government in Taiwan in 1949, has never been at the side with the people.
Due to the prevailing fear of a Communist takeover in the international society at that time, KMT’s illegal occupation over Taiwan (Formosa) was tolerated, if not encouraged. The tragic outcome was that Taiwan became the “Free China”, and the Formosans have lived a life of confused identity till today.
In late 1980’s, Taiwan went through a series of liberalization, pressed by the powerful demand for political reform from the society and the international community. The notorious martial law which had lasted for 38 years was lifted. By 1996, Taiwanese people had successfully eliminated the parliamentary seats that represented the population in China, and voted directly for the first time their own president. However, the process of democratization was not complete because KMT, the second richest political party in the world, was simply too big to find any rivaling political party in Taiwan. Even when KMT, due to the schism within the party, reluctantly became the opposition party during 2000~2008, it still had its claws tightly on the judicial system, the legislation, and the media. It also enjoyed the unfathomed loyalty of most military leaders in the national force.
Now that KMT is back to holding the reins, and President Ma Ying-jiou in his second term, nothing seems to be able to stop this party machine any more. Milo Thornberry, an American missionary who personally experienced KMT’s atrocious ruling during Taiwan’s White Terror, raised the following question in his memoir “Fireproof Moth”: “Can a leopard change its spots?” referring to the improbability of KMT’s changing its despotic nature.
The recent controversy over the ractopamine residue in imported beef from the US is a very good example. Ma, using his dual roles as Taiwan’s president and KMT chairman, demanded that the party caucus pass an amendment to the Act Governing Food Sanitation (食品衛生管理法) to pave the way for the relaxation of the ban on beef with ractopamine residue. KMT legislators were warned of getting a fine if not being “disciplined”.
By making the US government a bully, Taiwanese citizens foolish, and the opposition parties irrational, Ma plays the only good guy in the game. In my opinion, setting its people against another country and evading its responsibility is really the dirtiest trick a government can ever play on its people.
Why does Europe have a different and more stringent standard vis-a-vis US beef than Taiwan? Has Ma put Taiwan in a situation where it can be blackmailed? It appears so.We, as the citizens of Taiwan, must reiterate that we never intend to ban American beef altogether. We are simply enraged by the fact that Ma has been blackmailing us into importing beef with ractopamine. We are against Ma’s government, which is manipulative and dishonest. We are against KMT, a political party that defiles democratic values on a daily basis.

Auburn Community Band Auburn, Indiana "The value of the Auburn Community Band is that for two hours rehearsal, people forget all their problems." ~Richard J. Norris~
Director 1982-2004
Concert Holiday No Practice Practice
We are called the Auburn Community Band, however, we have members from not only Auburn but from Angola, Avilla, Butler, Churubusco, Columbia City, Fort Wayne, Fremont, Garrett, Huntertown, Pleasant Lake, St. Joe, and Speedway in Indiana. We also have members from Payne, OH
If you are interested in playing with the band, we rehearse every Thursday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the DeKalb Middle School during the year and at the First United Methodist Church on E. 7th Street during the summer. There are no try-outs or dues. The only requirement is that you love to play music. So contact any member of the band or e-mail us at trumpetman1940@yahoo.com for any information or answers to your questions. We would love to have you as a part or our group!
The Auburn Community Band had its first rehearsal on May 20, 1982. At that time there were many musicians who had not played for a number of years. This was not a deterrent for any of them as they had a great love for music and were determined to play. The band did a total of three concerts that year. Now, thirty-one years later, the band does between fifteen and eighteen concerts a year and it is estimated that they have played approximately 425 concerts over its lifetime.
The concert locations have varied over the many years. The band has played at the beautiful Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum, at various parks, nursing homes, senior citizen facilities, Foellinger Theatre in Fort Wayne, Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio, and various locations throughout Northeast Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. For the band’s twenty-fifth anniversary year, they took a tour of Indiana and played four concerts at various locations around the state, including the Paramount Theatre in Anderson.
In 2003, the Auburn Community Band performed in Washington, DC as the representative of the state of Indiana in the Festival of States. They performed three concerts in the DC area including two at retirement homes and one in front of the Lincoln Memorial. A highlight of the trip was when the band went to the Congressional Cemetery and found the gravesite of John Philip Sousa. In 2009, the Auburn Community band returned to DC to perform at the Sousa Festival.
The band takes great pride in interfacing with other community bands in the area. They have done joint concerts where they will perform as a combined band in Auburn and then go to the home location of the other band. They have done concerts with bands in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
A venture that is very rewarding for the band is the annual Community Band Extravaganza. This is held on a Sunday in August each year and as many as six community bands are put together in a mass band forum. There are typically 150 to 175 musicians in this mass band, which is held at the DeKalb Outdoor Theater in Auburn. In 2008 the band opened Auburn’s new outdoor stage and made it their permanent home. This facility is in a beautiful wooded area in Auburn and has a 40’x60’ stage for a variety of performance mediums.
One of the areas that the band advertises is the fact that they have many middle and high school musicians in the group. They have had some musicians who were as young as eleven or twelve in the band and they stay with the band throughout their high school days and come back in the summer from college to play with the band. It is amazing to see some of these young people performing to a level they never knew they could reach simply because they are sitting next to a player who has been playing for thirty or forty years and getting help from that player.
The achievement of still performing after thirty-one years is one that the band is very proud of. Especially since the average lifetime for a community band in the United States is five to seven years. The band credits its longevity to two factors. First, the people of Auburn and the surrounding area who provide excellent support to the band. Second, the musicians in the band are committed to providing excellent music and are dedicated to the band (There are still three original members from the first night and twelve members who were there the first year). With support and dedication like this, the band expects to be around playing music for many more years.
Donald A. Riley is the new Director for the Auburn Community Band. Don is a native of Waterford, Michigan where in High School he was the Drum Major for the "WTHS Skippers" which coincidentally is his nick name, "Skipper" or "Skip". Don has been Band Director for three small schools in his time, the last of which was Auburn's own "Lakewood Park Christian School". He has played clarinet in the Marion Philharmonic Orchestra and Elkhart Symphony and is presently a drummer for "Fairview Missionary Church" in Angola.
Before taking a sabbatical from ACB to coordinate the "Crossing" in Butler, Don played alto saxophone and other instruments as a utility musician in the band. "I'm back for good" he says as he takes the baton for the summer season and for what he hopes will be a long season ahead. "It is an honor to serve as Auburn's Director following the late honorable Dick Norris and Kim Randinelli who will be missed but was forced to retire from ACB to attend to her health."
Looking ahead, Don has some new ideas and new venue goals for the band. Don's former pastor labeled him "An Upgrade Monster!" a title Don will be careful to balance with the foundational goals and principles upon which the ACB was originally formulated. One of those foundational goals is to provide a strong Band for instrumentalists who have an instrument in their closet and a talent in their heart that is waiting to be re-ignited! With that in mind, come join us as we develop into a state and then a nationally known community band! There is life after High School and College for Wind and Percussion instrumentalists and the Auburn Community Band is your next great expression!
We rehearse in the DeKalb Middle School Band Room Thursday evenings from 7 till 9 and are excited with the new growth we have seen already and with the prospect of new members like you! Just give it a try, almost all of us have had to re-develop our talent after not playing for a time, this band enjoys being a part of your new musicianship, fear not!
The band is also blessed to have Angela Bassett as our Assistant Director.

Infectious diseases such as viral hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted easily through the sharing of contaminated drug paraphernalia, such as syringes and other equipment. With the explosion of opioid misuse across the U.S., particularly in greater Appalachia, there has been a spike in new hepatitis C virus infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the opioid crisis has put new populations at an increased risk of contracting HIV in non-urban areas where there are limited HIV prevention and treatment services.
Join POLITICO on Thursday, March 28, for a deep-dive conversation to identify how state and federal policymakers, the private sector, public health advocates and community leaders can work together to alleviate the public health threats associated with the spread of these infectious diseases.

Karen Gillan weighs in on Scorsese's Marvel comments
By Bang Showbiz in Movies / TV / Theatre on 08 October 2019
Follow Karen Gillan
Karen Gillan Martin Scorsese James Gunn Samuel L Jackson
Marvel star Karen Gillan has defended James Gunn in response to Martin Scorsese's criticism of Marvel films, where he branded them as ''not cinema''.
Karen Gillan doesn't agree with Martin Scorsese's criticism of Marvel films.
The actress - who has starred as Nebula in a number of Marvel movies including 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Avengers: Endgame' - says 'Guardians' director James Gunn ''injects so much of his personality'' into his work and has branded it ''very cinematic''.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said: ''I would absolutely say that Marvel movies are cinema. Cinema is story-telling with visuals. He injects so much of his personality, his sense of humour... that's a very big representation of who he is as a person and therefore it's very cinematic. He's an artist.''
The 31-year-old actress made her comments after legendary director Scorsese said that Marvel films are ''not cinema'' and compared them to ''theme parks''.
Martin said: ''I don't see them. I tried, you know? But that's not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn't the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.''
Samuel L Jackson also defended Marvel's films, suggesting that audiences can enjoy all types of cinema.
Samuel, who plays Nick Fury in the MCU, said: ''I mean that's like saying 'Bugs Bunny' ain't funny. Films are films. Everybody's got an opinion, so I mean it's OK. Ain't going to stop nobody making movies.''

Philip Hartshorn's Dunedin School of Music
Main Questions
Low Cost Saturdays
Online Specialist Learning
Are you getting nowhere being self-taught?
Philip Hartshorn
You most probably would have had a few experiences as a self taught player. I was one once too so I know what you have been through. Unfortunately it can take a while for the realisation to take hold that you are getting nowhere. Because of my own experiences I have a fair amount of empathy with this. So I am going to give up some of my precious practise time to tell you a few truths by using some common scenarios. The first one is...
You would like to play your favourite songs
You would like to learn how to play Sweet Home Alabama and Ball & Biscuit right. They are both great songs.
These are the first few lines to Sweet Home Alabama and Ball & Biscuit:
To be able to play these you will need to know heaps of stuff. This is a list:
know the key signature;
know the most important chords in that key;
do you play in minor or major, what is that?
be able to read the notes;
be able to count them;
what does simile mean?
What are the crosses, the H and Ps?
Let's suppose you have learned one of these songs by using some other form other than reading the music. You don't need to do it the proper way, it's old fashioned, you think. We have the internet now. It's free so why pay for lessons?
Yes there are other ways to try and play the song. I know I've tried them. If you work hard you might get to play a resemblance of the song. However you will only become fractionally close to sounding like it, why? I'll tell you about that later....
Your mates want to play the songs in a band. You give it a go. You all have the gear but no one is taking lessons. You are all doing it yourself. You get some of the song going, great. You feel awesome. Now what?
"Lets play another song" someone says. It's easy for the drummer because the same basic beat can be used for just about anything (not true). The bass player will just do what the guitar player says.
But the guitar player has spent hours on learning that one song. Only bits and pieces are known of others. "Boy this is getting hard. Where am I supposed to find the time to learn another song"? What's the result? A total of 6 minutes of music. We can't even play the first one right through.
Band practise finishes with a sense of frustration. At home the dust on the guitar begins to thicken.
Introducing Philip Hartshorn's D.S.M.
The Big Picture: Learning Guitar, Bass or Drums
Phil is my first drumming teacher. “I couldn’t play before, but now I can, thanks to his great teaching! I have improved 100%. I really like the way Phil encourages me with my drumming. I love playing his electronic kits. I look forward to every lesson. I love playing and learning new songs. I like how kind and encouraging he is when I make a mistake.”
Hugh Rudd
Phil Hartshorn is a great guitar teacher. He's friendly, funny and encouraging!!!
He is also very good at making people understand the situation. So don't worry about thinking that your kid comes home and tells you "I don't know what Phil was talking about". Because that won't happen.
If you are considering taking lessons with Phil but are not sure yet, can I say give it a go, no matter which method you use. After starting with face to face lessons, I was surprised how efficient the internet based lessons are and the ability to log in from anywhere you have a connection and device is great. Phil is a patient and proficient teacher and his methods provide challenge and reward as you master your chosen instrument.
Matilda Sutton
Phil helps me learn how to practise and shows me how to measure my own skill. I would say to people who wish to learn that with Phil you will learn the proper way to play as opposed to endless strumming with little technique. I also really enjoy the jams.
Rachel and Scarlett Rose
The single thing in Phils lessons which has helped the most is his thoroughness and patience. I would say to someone who is considering taking lessons with Phil to just give it a go. If you need to use Skype for lessons don't worry they are great, and more fun than you would think!
AJ Keys
If you are considering taking lessons with Phil but are not sure yet, can I say just do it. Lessons with Phil will help incredibly with your playing. You will notice a huge improvement.

Silver Range Resources - Stinson Property
Aurora Geosciences completed a mapping and prospecting program.
The Stinson Project consists of 14 claims located in White Pine County, approximately 35 kilometres north of Ely. The claims cover MRDS showings M031255 (Stinson Mine) and M233767 (Old West Group). The latter appears to be the location of the Ben Hur Mine based on the extensive workings at the site and historical descriptions of its location. Gold occurrences at the Stinson and Ben Hur Mines may be part of a much larger structurally-controlled hydrothermal system. The gold occurrences on the Stinson Property together with six other MRDS showings are associated with north-striking faults and contacts in a 7 kilometre long, north-trending corridor. This terminates in the Steptoe Ranch Pluton, 3 kilometres north of the Stinson Property. Video presentation available here.
At the Stinson Mine, gold occurs with quartz veins in a southwest striking, moderately east dipping shear zone in Ordovician to Silurian carbonates. Sampling at Stinson during 2016 returned best results of 6.94 g/t Au from a grab sample and 3.8 m @ 2.57 g/t Au including 1.6m @ 8.16 g/t Au in a chip sample across the shear zone. Three of 15 samples collected at Stinson returned more than 1 g/t Au.
At the Ben Hur Mine, work in 2016 and 2017 defined a north striking, gently east dipping shear zone with quartz veining and hematite alteration cutting Cambrian quartzite. The shear has been traced for approximately 100 metres on surface and was intersected in underground workings 40 m down dip from the surface exposure. Surface grab sampling returned up to 248 g/t Au with 7 of 27 samples collected at Ben Hur returning greater than 1 g/t Au. A chip sample across exposed surface mineralization near the highest grade grab sample returned 1.5 m @ 20.6 g/t Au. Grab samples from dump material at workings along the vein 50 metres southwest and northeast of this location returned 5.97 g/t Au and 5.15 g/t Aurespectively. The shear zone is exposed underground in a cross-cut 40 metres east and down-dip of the surface exposures. Chip sampling of the partially exposed vein here returned 0.4 m @ 3.58 g/t Au. The crew was unable to sample mineralization in the production stopes because of poor ground conditions. A plan map and cross section showing sample locations and results can be found here.

Today is a very special day. Not because it's Christmas, but because I'm finally publishing a recipe for a beer that's fascinated and intoxicated me for years: Whitbread Gold Label.
Though that isn't the name it started out with. It was originally brewed by Tennant in Sheffield, who were later taken over by Whitbread. When introduced in the 1950's, it was something of a sensation. Why? Because of its colour. At a time when Barley Wines were a dark shade of brown, Gold Label was, er, golden. Or at least a pale amber. About the colour of Bitter.
The Mermaid, the pub on the caravan site in Mablethorpe where I spent most summer weekends as a child was a Tennant's pub. Come to think of it, probably the first pub I went in. They used to allow children in the lounge, something not exactly legal at the time. I can remember they had horizontal cylinder diaphragm electric pumps. Something that was pretty common in the Midlands in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Was it cask or bright beer they dispensed? No idea, I'm afraid.
The Mermaid must have sold Gold Label. Funnily enough I can remember drinking another Barley Wine in Mablethorpe: Bass No. 1. In a Bass pub whose name escapes me. It's now closed, so it doesn't really matter.
"Strong as a double scotch less than half the price." was a slogan I can remember seeing on posters as a teenager. They wouldn't get away with that now. It certainly got my attention as a 14 year old. Sounded like the perfect drink.
Sadly, the ABV has been dropped and Gold Label is only available in cans. Do you know what it reminds me of? A strong, early 19th-century Mild. Something like an XXX Ale or XXXX Ale.
You can't believe how excited I was when I first spotted it in the Chiswell Street brewing records. They must have been churning out a lot of it in the early 1970's because I believe that Whitbread made it in more than one brewery. They brewed it reasonably frequently at Chiswell Street and it decent-sized batches of around 350 barrels.
Let's have a look at the beer itself. By the early 1970's Whitbread had gone all proprietary in the their sugars. In Gold Label it was SLS, a sugar not used in any of their other beers. What was it? No idea, really. It could stand for "Special Liquid Syrup". Not that that really helps much in working out what it was like. Kristen has gone for a combination of No. 1 and No. 2 invert, which looks like a pretty good guess to me.
The hopping is interesting. All the examples I have contain Styrian hops and all but one Hallertau. Styrian hops turn in many of their beers, but only one other beer used Hallertau: Brewmaster. The thing that looks quite like a Lager. Taking into account the hop extract, I make the total weight a little more than Kristen, about 5.5 ozs in all.
I think it's actually pilsner malt that Whitbread used. A bit tricky to tell for sure as they mostly used funny abbreviations, in this case FPM. It's a malt that was only in two of their beers, Gold Label and Brewmaster. I've guessed that FPM is pilsner because on one of the logs for Brewmaster it's specified as pilsner.
That's me done, over to Kristen . . . . .
Notes: This beer really did change my life. Heading to my cousins wedding in ??? I took the boat from Calais to Dover. Sat in Dover harbor getting turned into a milkshake for 3 hours because it was to rough to dock. Feeling queasy I made it to the train and was out of sorts, which is unusual traveling for me. Then the old drunken git gave me a gob of something magical. I don’t mean magical in the sense that it was amazingly ‘good’. I mean that it was something I had never had before…something so different it made me question everything I ‘knew’ about beer. Plus, what looks cooler than luggin around a jar of Gold Label. “Hey ladies, yeah, Gold Label, that’s right, you know I’m classy.” It wasn’t until later I was told it was plonk for the drunkards…I still like it.
Malt: A single pale malt of your choice. I’d choose Optic or something meaty for this baby for sure. A decent amount of maize is used that would be missed if you left it out. The sugar is another blend of some sort so I used a combination of #1 and #2 invert to get the SRM listed in the log by using the percent sugar and their colors.
Hops: Lots of German and Austrian hops. Pretty sweet. Goldings work really well for bittering in that you’ve got to use a good amount of them and will get the greenery that’s required from low alpha hops IMO.
Yeast: Whitbread yeast. Two choices. Wyeast 1098 (more tart and dry) or Wyeast 1099/Safale S04 (more fruity and malty). Which ever you’ve done before, do the other.
Sundries: This beer is a Christmas beer if I’ve ever seen one. One you can get proper pissed with…Familial obligations be damned…you’re not running for Jesus anyway…
Cask: Standard procedure:
Labels: 1970's, Barley Wine, beer recipes, Gold Label, Let's Brew, London, Mablethorpe, Whitbread
"horizontal cylinder diaphragm electric pumps. Something that was pretty common in the Midlands in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Was it cask or bright beer they dispensed? No idea, I'm afraid."
These were still fairly common in Brum in the mid-70's, dispensing M+B tank bitter if memory serves. So bright beer.
FPM = Fine Pale (or Pilsner) Malt?
I love Gold Label.....

I believe that back in the late 1970's/early 80's, Whitbread were brewing Gold Label at their Wateringbury Brewery, just up the road from here. You will obviously be aware Ron, that this was the old Frederick Leney plant, which was one of the first breweries outside of London acquired by Whitbread; sometime during the 1920's.
I never got to go round it, but I do remember calling in there to collect some yeast on a number of occasions, back in my home-brewing days. On my first visit I was told that the light ale yeast would be much more suited for my brewing, than the one used to ferment Gold Label!
"horizontal cylinder diaphragm electric pumps. Something that was pretty common in the Midlands in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Was it cask or bright beer they dispensed?"
These were very common in Banks's and Hanson's pubs (Wolverhampton and Dudley respectively) in the late 70's and early 80's (and possibly many years either side), dispensing cask mild and bitter.
a lot of the Courage pubs in Newark used them, too, but for bright not cask beer. As the former Holes brewery made to cask beer, it had to be bright or keg.
Is there 2 pounds of English malt missing from the recipe? The numbers don't add for the gravity without them.

Hi some friends are having an argument. One of them maintains he saw gold label on tap. Was this so. Just curious.
I never saw it served draught. Doesn't mean it never was. I doubt it was, but I have no evidence.
Yes it did go on draught!
I worked for Whitbreads.
In the early '80s a refurb of the Ladysbridge pub, under Exchange Brewery Sheffield put Gold Label
on draught.
The pump dispensed in thirds of a pint.
The pub had reopened as 'The Brewer on The Bridge'.
thanks for passing that on. I'd love to have tried the draught version.
My dad worked for Tenants and Whitbread
Yes and I have still got some old full bottles of gold Label

As HP Board Meets After Palm Turmoil, What’s the Next Shoe to Drop?
September 21, 2011 at 5:05 am PT
As the board of Hewlett-Packard gathers for a planned meeting — to say the least — there’s a lot to talk about these days.
Several sources said that a series of recent discussions among its members have been intense ones, focused in part on how to spin the company out of its current cycle of bad news and what to do about the situation, which could mean even more dramatic change at the company in the months to come.
There is certainly plenty of trouble to go around, even if solutions to HP’s woes seem hard to reach.
The talks by HP directors — who include venture investor Marc Andreessen and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman — comes just a day after the tech giant announced the layoffs of hundreds of employees in its Palm division.
This inevitable move came after HP’s sudden news in August that it was shuttering its webOS hardware business.
Add to that a proposed class action lawsuit, filed Sept. 13 in the U.S. District Court for Central California, along with another handful of law firms that are launching their own investigations of HP over the move.
In the suit, according to a report by Arik Hesseldahl, an “HP shareholder named Richard Gammel alleged that comments by CEO Léo Apotheker — concerning the company’s earnings expectations, the importance of its personal computer business and plans to move ahead with devices running the webOS operating system — gave a vastly different indication of actions HP took on Aug. 18, when it killed the webOS hardware business and announced plans to spin off the PC business and spend $10 billion to acquire Autonomy.”
In other words, lots to talk about for HP’s directors, who have been under siege, essentially, ever since the board fired former CEO Mark Hurd over a variety of allegations related to a sexual harassment inquiry more than a year ago.
Since Apotheker took over for Hurd soon after, HP’s stock has plummeted almost 43 percent in a year’s time. By comparison, rival Oracle’s shares are up more than three percent in the same period, and Apple stock has risen more than 50 percent.
That share decline, given a series of major moves and just as many gaffes, has put Apotheker in the hot seat for sure.
How much hotter it will get for him and the HP board remains to be seen.

THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE - PLANNING MILESTONES and EARLY YEARS 1967 - 1977
This information has been compiled by Rita Sevcik who has served as administrative assistant to the president of TESC and recording secretary to the Board of Trustees since 1969. Background documents which led to the creation of Evergreen include:
1964 A report issued by the Council of Presidents in November concluded that another college was needed to balance the geographical distribution of the existing institutions.
1965 In response, the Washington Legislature created the Temporary Advisory Council on Public Higher Education to study, among other matters, the need for an additional four-year college and possible locations.
1966 "A Southwest Washington State College in or near the Capital City of Olympia" was prepared for the Southwest Washington State College Committee, June 1966.
1965-66 The Temporary Advisory Council on Public Higher Education (assisted by Nelson Associates of New York) Study concluded that "At the earliest possible time a new college should be authorized," to be located at a suburban site in Thurston County within a radius of approximately 10 miles from Olympia). Consulting firm also concluded that the college should be prepared to enroll 10,000 students by 1975.
Enabling legislation stated that the college should be located on a site of at least 600 acres, making this college the largest campus in the state (and the first public four-year college created in Washington State in the 20th Century).

Ex-police recruit sentenced to prison
A week shy of graduating from the Ke Kula Makai Police Academy, Ernie Gomez threatened his wife with a loaded gun because he believed she was cheating on him.
Yesterday, a state judge ordered Gomez, 27, a former Army soldier and currently a Hawaii National Guardsman, to a mandatory minimum of five years in prison with no parole for using a semiautomatic gun during the May 2004 incident at the couple's Ewa Beach home.
Circuit Judge Michael Town acknowledged Gomez's military service but said he was bound by the law.
"In my view it's certainly an onerous sentence to impose on somebody who's served his country honorably," Town said. "You made a very bad illegal criminal mistake, but it is the law."
A jury found Gomez guilty in February of first-degree terroristic threatening and abuse of a household member. His then-wife, Sherly Gomez, had testified that he had punched, kicked and threatened her with the gun and also a knife in view of their 2-year-old daughter.
Gomez resigned from the academy shortly after the incident. The couple has since divorced.

Hazardous fluid identified in Maui spill
WAILUKU » Maui fire officials investigating a potential hazardous material spill at the county landfill earlier this week said a test showed a sample of soaked soil contained a chemical used in lighter fluid.
Battalion Chief Alan Pascua said yesterday that instructions in the handling of the chemical oxybutanal warns it should not be ingested or inhaled.
Fire officials closed Pulehu Road near the county landfill for about five hours before reopening it at 8:45 p.m. Monday.
A county landfill worker went home Monday morning because of dizziness, and another was treated and later released from a hospital that afternoon.
Pascua said the substance was difficult to identify because it apparently was run over by a bulldozer and mixed with rubbish.

Fight At The Bag O Chicken(Part 2)
I drove my parent's VW bug to school the day of the fight. When school let out, I met Rick in the parking lot and we drove over to the Bag O Chicken together. There was a sizeable group of kids already there. The high school was located right next to a major freeway and a steady stream of students was pouring over the walkway bridge that crossed the freeway from the edge of the school grounds. The Bag O Chicken restaurant was located across the street on the other side of the freeway. For years it had been a favorite lunch and after school hangout for students. The fried chicken and French fries were served in a brown paper bag that was instantly saturated with grease. As soon as I stopped the car, Rick hopped out and walked right into the middle of the crowd, disappearing from view. I noticed a number of hoods, supporters of Chadwick. The talking suddenly died down. Everyone began backing up, opening an area in their center which defined the battleground, a familiar high school ritual. I worked my way into the inner ring where I could clearly watch the fight. I noticed Paul on the other side of the circle with some of our friends. I caught his eye and he gave me a subtle wave. The others didn’t look my way. They all assumed my friend Rick was going to be slaughtered. From opposite ends of the circle as if choreographed, stepped Rick and Chadwick into the open space. I expected some kind of verbal exchange, like Rick saying "I don't like the way your thugs talked to my girlfriend," and Chadwick saying "Oh yeah tough guy, what are you going to do about it?" and then maybe a little pushing and shoving, but none of that happened. Chadwick gave Rick an acknowledging almost friendly nod and said, "Let's go." Rick nodded, put up his fists, and crouched down into a fighting posture. Chadwick didn't look ready. He raised his hands only slightly, not forming them into fists, but intensely watched Rick. They both began to circle around each other. My heart was beating fast and hard. I hadn't realized how big Chadwick was until now. Rick was six feet tall, strong and wiry, but Chadwick looked several inches taller. His rolled up shirt sleeves exposed thick forearms and bulging biceps. Rick closed the gap between them, approaching Chadwick in a sideways walk and then lunged in throwing a fast left jab. Chadwick effortlessly bobbed his head back and away. They circled each other a few more times and then Rick threw two more left jabs followed by a right punch toward Chadwick's head. Chadwick stepped out of the way and caught Rick on the side of the face with a bone jarring punch. It looked like Rick had thrown his head against Chadwick's fist. I felt sick to my stomach and light- headed, but forced myself to keep watching. Rick staggered back, but quickly regained his composure. He approached Chadwick again in the exact same manner. The crowd murmured and I thought, Oh God, don't try that again, but instead Rick faked the left and then squatted down low punching Chadwick right in the stomach, causing him to double over gasping for air. Rick punched him again, a glancing blow off the side of his head. "All right Rick", I blurted out. Rick backed off allowing Chadwick to straighten up. But now Chadwick began moving with a new level of intensity. He walked right over to Rick, allowing several of Rick's punches to bounce off, grabbed one of Rick's arms in mid-flight and pulled him into a headlock. He then proceeded to punch Rick's head over and over. Rick struggled to get free. This stirred the crowd up and my sick feeling, which had left momentarily, was back. With much effort, Rick managed to wiggle free. but the side of his face was dripping blood. He bobbed and circled and threw several more punches at Chadwick, but none of them landed with any force. Chadwick kept his composure, waiting for his opportunity and then landed another bone thumping punch to the same side of Rick's head. Rick staggered and fell, dazed and disoriented. Chadwick stood over him, with his fists poised ready to knock Rick back down if he tried to get up. No one would have blamed Rick for staying down. It was obvious to everyone that Chadwick out matched him. But Rick shook his head and struggled to get back on his feet. Several guys in the crowd encouraged Rick to stay down and we all braced ourselves for the final blow, but a police siren broke the suspense. The police car pulled into the Bag O Chicken parking lot and the crowd scattered. Chadwick and his guys began walking quickly toward the footbridge and back onto the safety of school property. The air was filled with the sound of crunching gravel, screeching tires and roaring engines. In a matter of seconds there was no one around except Rick and me. Rick was still on one knee, too stunned to get up from where Chadwick had left him. The cops remained sitting in the squad car and watched the crowd disperse. I walked over to Rick, helped him to his feet, and we slowly made our way to my VW. As I drove out of the parking lot and onto the street, in the rear view mirror I saw the cop car pull out and head back toward town. This was routine for them, but we all knew that the officers took notice of who was there and especially who was fighting. We went to Rick's house where we could assess the damage. He had a swollen eye and a bad cut on the side of his head by his ear. I found some iodine in the bathroom medicine chest and Rick began dabbing the cut behind his ear. I was embarrassed that Rick got beat up in front of our fellow students. "That Chadwick is one hell of a fighter." I said trying to ease Rick's emotional pain. "Yeah, he's tough all right." "What if his guys start to harass Cathy again?" "I guess I'd just have to fight him again." I thought, Are you totally nuts? but said, "Man, I hope that doesn't happen." I certainly didn't want to go through that again. Then Rick stopped dabbing his head, looked right at me and said, "Thanks, dude, for sticking by me." "No problem." I replied and with that the whole incident made sense. I remembered when I felt like quitting wrestling because I was losing every match and my dad telling me, "Sometimes it's not about winning or losing or what other people think". Rick threw the iodine soaked gauze into the trash can and said, "I think I'll go lie down for a while. Maybe after school tomorrow we can hang out and listen to music." "Sounds good, I'll see you tomorrow" and I left.

Yonas
2014 (Narrative date)
There are an estimated 518,000 people living in modern slavery in Egypt, 465,000 in Sudan and an estimated 451,000 in Eritrea (GSI 2018). Since 2006 tens of thousands of Eritreans fleeing widespread human rights abuses and destitution have ended up in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Until 2010, they passed through Sinai voluntarily and generally without any problems and crossed in to Israel. However, since then, Sudanese traffickers have kidnapped Eritreans in eastern Sudan and sold them to Egyptian traffickers in Sinai who have subjected at least hundreds to violence in order to extort large sums of money from their relatives.
Yonas* was kidnapped by traffickers traffickers near Sudan’s Shagarab refugee camp in March 2012. These traffickers handed him over to Egyptian traffickers in southern Egypt, who held him in Sinai with 24 other men and eight women for six weeks.
The first group of kidnappers said I had to pay $3,500. They blindfolded all of us and chained our hands and legs together. They threatened to remove our organs if we didn’t pay. Even though my family paid, they didn’t release me but instead sold me to a second group.
The second kidnappers said we had to pay them $33,000 because they had bought us from the first group, so we had to help them get their money back.
They beat me with a metal rod. They dripped molten plastic onto my back. They beat the soles of my feet and then they forced me to stand for long periods of time, sometimes for days. Sometimes they threatened to kill me and put a gun to my head. They hung me from the ceiling so my legs couldn’t reach the floor and they gave me electric shocks. One person died after they hung him from the ceiling for 24 hours. We watched him die.
Whenever I called my relatives to ask them to pay, they burnt me with a hot iron rod so I would scream on the phone. We could not protect the women in our room: they just took them out, raped them, and brought them back. They hardly let us sleep and I thought I was going to die but in the end a group of us managed to escape.

VOICES: Narratives by Survivors of Modern Slavery
This is the world's largest archive of modern slavery survivor narratives. Across more than a million words spoken or written by survivors of modern slavery, we can see why slavery persists in particular hotspots, analyse patterns in trafficking routes, identify vulnerabilities, understand more about the challenges survivors face in liberation, and discover new antislavery solutions. These narratives offer the chance to systematically design new antislavery strategies based on the experiences, ideas and solutions of enslaved people themselves.
The database is searchable by country, name, theme, and narrative date. Narratives can be viewed in list or map form. A short introduction provides context to each narrative. Narrative provenance appears after the main narrative text.
For ideas on how to use this database, please see our accompanying guide.
Project Lead: Zoe Trodd. Team Members: Andrea Nicholson, Lauren Eglen, Rosemary Pearce, Olivia Wright.
For any queries about the collection please contact: rightslab@nottingham.ac.uk. If you wish to cite a particular narrative, please acknowledge the survivor’s name, the provenance of the narrative and cite: Voices Database, the Rights Lab, University of Nottingham.

A Wahhabi Coming of Age in Indonesia and Malaysia?……
February 27, 2016 Mohammed Haider Ghuloum
“FOR decades, South-East Asia has had two lucky bulwarks against militant Islam: the peaceful, tolerant form of their faith practised by most South-East Asian Muslims; and the relative incompetence of local jihadists. But South-East Asia’s tradition of syncretic Islam has been threatened by stricter forms imported from the Middle East, seen as more modern and correct. Violent jihadism seems to be following the same pattern, if the bloody violence in central Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, on January 14th, is anything to go by………… In Malaysia, however, the government itself has thoroughly politicised Islam, leaving little room for dissent from its harshest rules. A study last year found more than 70% of Malaysia’s ethnic-Malay, Muslim, majority support hudud laws such as stoning for adultery…………….”
Southeast Asia has been largely under the radar as far as Wahhabism and Jihadi terrorism is concerned. Saudi madrassas (meaning schools but here ones that stress Wahhabi ideology, manned by Saudi clerics-teachers) have been around for a couple of decades, and a new crop of young terrorists are coming of age.

The March of Violent Fundamentalism in Southeast Asia………..
“Islam in Malaysia, and Southeast Asia, is taking a more conservative turn. The Muslim faith, brought here by Arab traders hundreds of years ago, has coexisted for generations with Malay customs such as shamanism, other forms of traditional medicine and the country’s sizable Buddhist, Christian and Hindu communities. But more recently, conservative Wahhabi doctrines, often spread by Saudi-financed imams, are redefining the way Islam is practiced and, for some, eroding the tolerance for which the country has been known………. Politicians, meanwhile, are now competing with each other to show off their Islamist credentials. The opposition Pan-Islamic Party strict adherence to Shariah has helped build its support in rural areas. And a government investment fund—under the control of the Muslim-oriented ruling party…………”
In the West they/you talk of Islam and Muslims as if they/we are a monolithic thing. They/we are not. When they say Muslim and terrorism in the same sentence in the West they mean Wahhabi, a small but expanding puritan sect of Sunni Islam. These are the ones engaged in worldwide terrorism as represented by Al Qaeda, AQAP, and ISIS (DAESH).
But there is an even more violent campaign of terror among Muslims, a sectarian war, most of it committed by Al Qaeda and ISIS and their ilk against all Shi’a Muslims and against many Sunni Muslims as well. It now spans the globe.
For years Malaysia has banned the practices of Shi’ism, even as the regime and its clerics moved deeper into the realm of Wahhabi intolerance. Local Shi’as have to practice their rites in secret, otherwise they risk persecution and prosecution. As the article says, the Saudi Wahhabis have been spreading their intolerant sect for decades, by sending Imams and establishing and financing schools. Stoning of women and public flogging is more common now in Malaysia and a few other places than it ever was in the past.
The same applies to Indonesia, which also persecutes its non-Wahhabi Islamic minorities. But that has been the trend through all Sunni Islam: a Wahhabi-ization of the mainstream. Egypt is now quasi-Wahhabi, and that includes Al-Azhar. The trend toward Wahhabi-ization and intolerance among Muslims and toward other muslims, in both Arab and South Asian countries, has accelerated in the past decade. It is now sweeping North and West Africa. Even among European Muslims it is very common, much more common than you think.

Virginity Tests: from Indonesia to Ipanema………
May 15, 2015 Mohammed Haider Ghuloum
“Indonesia urged to ban virginity tests for fiancées of officers, female recruits. Indonesian authorities have been urged to cease the “invasive” and “discriminatory” practice of “virginity tests” for female recruits and fiancées of military officers in the country’s armed forces. International military physicians are set to gather in Bali, Indonesia on May 17-22, 2015, to urge the country’s president, Joko Widodo, to stop the practice, according to Human Rights Watch…………….”
Virginity tests aren’t new: the Egyptian military famously used them extensively during the Tahrir Uprising in 2011. But they used them against female protesters whom the military and bureaucracy suspected of being promiscuous and engaged in sex with male protesters. In their minds it made sense: why else would young women come out to face the regime goons and risk life and limb unless it was for sex? That also fits in somehow with the Saudi clerical claims that allowing women to drive cars would end virginity overnight in that country. At least “no more virginity as they know it” ( you can use your imagination and figure it out).
Apparently Indonesian officers are allowed to marry virgins only and the state take the responsibility of ensuring that. No more surprises on the wedding night in Indonesia. There are no doubt other places where this practice is de rigueur, possibly Malaysia.
I tell ya Wahhabism and its, er, practices have spread all over the globe, possibly with the exception of Ipanema.

Bill Maher and the Insulted Orangutans? Was Donald Trump Born on Borneo?…………
Kissing cousins: wait till Orly Taitz gets hold of this
“A comedian, a millionaire and an orangutan. It may sound like the beginning of a screwball joke, but Donald Trump isn’t laughing. The famously outspoken real estate magnate has sued famously outspoken television host Bill Maher, demanding the $5 million Maher offered to give to charity if Trump could prove his father is not an orangutan. But legal experts say Trump is unlikely to get a dime from Maher, the host of the HBO series Real Time With Bill Maher, because his offer was clearly made in jest.”It’s parody,” said Bryan Sullivan, a Los Angeles entertainment lawyer. “You know Bill Maher is a comedian and a satirist. The offer is so ridiculous.” Trump, however, has taken the comic at his word. “Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trump’s birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan,…………”
But how do we know that this Fred Trump was not a native of Indonesia? Given that Orangutans come from the area around Borneo and Sumatra, both part of Indonesia, is it not likely that Trump Sr. was also an Indonesian? Possibly not very far from where Barack Obama himself spent some time as a child. Which raises the question of the true birthplace of Donald Trump and the genesis of his evil haircut.

Dan Froomkin: Hi everyone and welcome. Lots to talk about today. Scott McClellan's new book. New evidence in the Plame case. And Bush getting another nudge toward war in Iran. Just for starters.
And yes, before anyone says it: I know, last week was a lousy time to go on vacation.
San Diego: Does McClellan's book say anything about those missing e-mails? Has anyone asked him about them?
Dan Froomkin: No, and no at least nothing I've seen), which raises an interesting point: What should reporters be asking the new McClellan about? All those missing e-mails would indeed be one good topic.
I'm shocked at how little (i.e. nothing) he writes about torture. And as far as I know, he's not been asked about it in interviews. So Scott, let's start with this: How do you define torture?
I know it's not a big deal, but I'd like to ask him about his al-Jazeera dodge.
I've already heard from several readers who want to ask him about Jeff Gannon.
What would you like him to be asked about?
Oostburg, Wis.: Other than the legitimate question about not raising doubts when serving in the White House, I have seen nothing from Bush loyalists denying the charges and observations McClellan makes in his book. Am I missing something in their "puzzling responses"?
Dan Froomkin: No. And McClellan's failure to raise doubts in real time, while undeniably pathetic and tragic, is actually a testament to one of his key points: That inside the White House bubble, dissent is so unwelcome that it's virtually inconceivable.
Madison, Wis.: Hi Dan -- thanks for your faithful reporting! Regarding Iran, what actions can Bush take? Can he authorize strikes without Congress? Would the military go along with an attack? In practical terms, how worried should we be?
Dan Froomkin: Excellent questions. You certainly should be worried if you're counting on Congress or the military to stop him. Various members of Congress have threatened to respond angrily if Bush attacked Iran, but I don't think that alone will give him pause. There was one guy in the military rumored to be ready to countermand Bush's orders -- Admiral William J. "Fox" Fallon -- but Bush had him removed from his position as top commander in the Middle East in March. (And see today's column for Fallon's first, ambiguous public comments on CNN yesterday.)
That said, I think the most likely scenario is no longer a preemptive U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, but that some sort of provocation (provoked or otherwise) will give Bush "no choice" but to respond to militarily.
So imagine a face-off in Gulf waters suddenly escalating, or Israel launching its own attack, or U.S. planes attacking suspected training camps for Iraqi insurgents inside Iran. Any of those presumably would result in a protracted U.S. military campaign, without having to go to the trouble of asking Congress for anything.
Milwaukee, Wis.: In Monday's Post, Robert Novak wrote one of the only pieces on McClellan's book that attacks the substance of what McClellan is saying. Most conservative criticisms of McClellan have been personal, as opposed to substantive. So I want to understand Novak's point better: He seems to be claiming that Richard Armitage leaked Plame's undercover status, and Libby and Rove were innocent of any wrongdoing. Can you clarify what role Armitage played in the Plame affair, and why Novak thinks his role relieves Libby and Rove of any responsibility? It seems to fly in the face of other things I've read, including items in your column. Thanks as always for your hard work.
washingtonpost.com: Did Cheney Tell Libby to Do It? (washingtonpost.com, June 3)
Dan Froomkin: Here is the Novak column in question: Parroting the Democrats.
Novak and a few others (including Rove) are trying to make it seem like the only question of significance here is: Who was the very first administration official to mention Valerie Plame's identity to Robert Novak (or anyone else)? The answer to that is Richard Armitage.
But the real question of significance is: Did White House officials, as part of a coordinated White House campaign to discredit Plame's husband Joe Wilson, an administration critic, expose Plame's identity as a CIA agent and then (repeatedly) lie about it? The answer to that question, of course, is yes, starting (but not finishing) with Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.
And in fact, as I've noted many times before, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald made it pretty clear that he suspected the plot was hatched and put into motion by Vice President Cheney. So another key question is the one I asked yesterday: Did Cheney tell Libby to do it?
That Armitage was chronologically the first is a great big red herring espoused by the most die-hard Rove-and-Libby defenders -- including (again, see yesterday's column) Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. I find their arguments ludicrous and shrill.
Your point about all the McClellan attackers piling on him, rather than on the substance of his charges, is also a good one.
Stamford, Conn.: Hi Dan -- you sure pick your weeks to be away! As you rightly stated in an earlier column, McClellan's book is a clear vindication, but will the mainstream media also wake up and realize that the all the administration's press secretaries were/are just as bad as McClellan in terms of being part of the propaganda machine? Snow is getting an obvious (and undeserved in my view) pass because of his illness, but Perino should be challenged far more often, and vigorously at that. One last question: Do you think McClellan will be be asked to testify before Congress?
Dan Froomkin: Editor & Publisher's Joe Strupp asked Washington reporters -- including Washington Post White House correspondent Michael Abramowitz -- if they think the revelations in McClellan's book will affect future press-spokesperson relations.
"Abramowitz said he would not let McClellan's actions tarnish his view of future press secretaries, adding that each must be approached individually, but with clear skepticism.
" 'Every press secretary is different. Every press secretary starts off with a clean slate with me,' Abramowitz explained, offering positive views of former spokesman Tony Snow and current press secretary Dana Perino. 'They are both very aggressive defenders of their boss, but I don't think that they lied to us point blank the way McClellan did. One goes into this understanding that everything they tell you is filtered through being an aggressive defender of the president.' "
Me, I don't see that Snow or Perino were/are any more credible on a day-to-day basis than McClellan. McClellan obviously was flat-out wrong when waving reporters away from Rove and Libby, but other than that, I think it's mostly stylistic differences.
Brooklyn, N.Y.: If Olmert is so intent on stopping Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons, why doesn't Israel attack its facilities themselves? Why do President Bush and the United States have to spearhead the offensive?
Dan Froomkin: He could -- but unlike the attack on Syria, which ostensibly was conducted without American preapproval, an Israeli attack on Iran immediately and viscerally would impact U.S. national security -- not to mention that Israeli jets presumably would have to cross Iraqi airspace. So the idea that they could do this without explicit or at least implicit U.S. approval is a farce.
Atlanta: Hi, Dan. I thought the O'Reilly interview with Scott McClellan was pretty funny. Scott kept talking about ending the partisan rancor in Washington, and here's O'Reilly in full right-wing partisanship mode. I guess he missed the point. Yes, he should be asked about torture. And though it's not your area, I have not heard the presidential candidates speak significantly on this subject either.
Dan Froomkin: I thought that interview was a hoot. A keeper.
Raleigh, N.C.: I have heard a number of press people (most notably David Gregory) defend the media against the McClellan's assertion that the press did not do its job in the run up to the war. Gregory and the others were more than happy to beat on the little guy, Scott McClellan, every day. However, when the opportunities came to question the "big fish," Bush or Cheney, I don't remember anybody really grilling either one. They blithely accepted the answers doled out. Gregory and the rest of "political press" who thought they did a good job should climb out of their bubble of denial as well. Speaking to power means just that.
Dan Froomkin: As I wrote last week over at NiemanWatchdog.org, there really is no debate on this issue. I'm dumbfounded by those who suggest otherwise.
As for Gregory, he does often ask tough questions, both of the press secretaries and of the presidents, and he isn't afraid to follow up. That's admirable. But just asking the questions isn't enough -- you have to report when the questions are ducked and dodged, you have to report when the answers either are unsupported by the facts or are obvious untruths, and you have to go to the people who do have the answers. On a scale of one to 10, meek to aggressive (say, Jeff Gannon to Helen Thomas), I give Gregory a seven for questions, but about a two or three for reportage.
Dan Froomkin: I'm being a bit facetious with my scale. But you get the point.
Northville, N.Y.: Doesn't the McClellan book make you think that an attack on Iran is more likely than not? If the sole counterweight to the pro-war forces is Condi Rice -- who repeatedly has failed to do anything but anticipate what Bush wants and give him support for it, no matter how misguided -- what hope is there?
Dan Froomkin: Thanks for tying our two themes of the day together. You make an important point. In fact, Talking Points Memo's Andrew Tilghman today pulls out the seminal -- and damning -- excerpts about Rice from McClellan's book. In a nutshell, she's an extraordinarily accomplished enabler.
Seattle: What is Congress prepared to do if Bush attacks Iran?
Dan Froomkin: Pout?
Baltimore: I'll concede I haven't read McClellan's book, but I did watch him on "The Daily Show." When questioned by Jon Stewart to call the lies from the administration outright deceptions, McClellan wouldn't bite. He continued to blame "the culture of Washington" and claimed he was trying to "change the culture." Sounds like more spin to me. I think the press has made this out to be a bigger deal than it really is because, until I hear him say "Bush lied while Americans died," or something to that effect, don't put me down as wanting to buy or read more schlock from this group of jerks.
washingtonpost.com: Scott McClellan on 'The Daily Show' (Comedy Central, June 3)
Dan Froomkin: I thought Stewart, whose interviews sometimes are disappointing, was dead-on with McClellan. As I wrote on Monday, McClellan's insistence that self-deception rather than a conscious disregard for the truth was behind what he now describes as the White House's consistent lack of candor is spectacularly self-serving.
I excerpted some of the Stewart interview in my column yesterday.
Anonymous: Bush said in his May 15 Knesset speech: "America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. (Applause.)" How is this to be interpreted other than that -- in the event diplomacy and sanctions fail to bring a halt to what Bush decides is Iranian efforts to acquire nuclear weapons -- he will authorize the use of military force to destroy Iran's nuclear infrastructure?
Dan Froomkin: That's a good question -- especially knowing what we know about Bush's decision-making habits (i.e. more influenced by fervor than facts).
Reality-based Washington!: I loved Tent Duffy's op-ed! Perfectly explains Scott McClellan's actions. What insight. ... Here's my question to you and Mr. Duffy: Why on Earth would anyone express anything less than full and complete admiration for Bush while working at the White House? Holy moly -- they must think we all live in that bubble.
washingtonpost.com: Will the Real Scott Please Stand Up? (Post, June 2)
Dan Froomkin: I just would add that it didn't have to be this way. A White House can function just fine -- in fact, better -- if dissent is allowed, certainly in moderation. One thing I will be watching closely in the new administration, whomever's it is, is the state of the bubble.
Albuquerque, N.M.: I'm still wondering why we haven't seen mainstream media coverage of the Pentagon propaganda story, especially given that Scott McClellan is publicly making claims that the White House was behind the selling of the war. By the way, yours is one of the few columns I read in the mainstream media, given that most journalists now reside in the blogosphere.
Dan Froomkin: I pretty much have given up on the MSM pursuing this story. Pathetic, but true. There is, however, some hope that Congress will assert itself.
Chicago: I am curious about the role of the press. If they were threatened by the Bush administration with a loss of access, why didn't they counter that threat with the risk of a big (or multiple) investigative push? It seems to me that the press easily could gather its resources to tie up the Bush administration in constant battles about information and in placing every scandals on the front page or at the top of the nightly news. Shouldn't bullying by the government beget an aggressive press?
Dan Froomkin: I think history will show that it wasn't overt threats from the White House but internalized fears and pressures that skewed the press coverage in the Bush era. We're really good, generally speaking, at responding to external threats. It's from the inside that we're dying.
Seattle: One thing in your column about Abramowitz's response to McClellan's book was that he didn't seem to understand that he had been played on a fundamental level. The press largely has gone the way of passive "he said, she said" reporting; the Bush White House knew that, and then abused it. Is that a fair read?
Dan Froomkin: My analysis would be a bit more nuanced. My guru on this matter, however, is Jay Rosen.
Sun Prairie, Wis.: Dan, who wrote Scott McClellan's book? That, as you'll recall, was a question raised by Robert Novak in your paper earlier this week. I think it's worth addressing, because the media tend to treat with great credulity public figures hawking books under their names, even if much of the actual writing was done by ghostwriters. I well believe McClellan was involved in the production of "What Happened," but has he to your knowledge been quizzed on how someone who struggled to get through the recitation of talking points in a daily briefing managed to produce a book of more than 300 pages?
Dan Froomkin: It does seem awfully eloquent for a guy best known for his robotic adherence to talking points, but it appears he has his own voice after all. And there is a fair amount of repetition of the central points, which does remind me of the old Scott.
The State of American Journalism: I've read columns from old-school and/or now-deceased journalists where they remark with pride that they pissed off the president or government officials with persistent questioning. Now, I read about how journalists love being "tight" and "trusted" with those same officials and count them as friendly sources. What happened?
Dan Froomkin: I think you are oversimplifying. There always have been sycophants in the press, and there are still plenty of watchdogs out there. Furthermore, beat reporters always have had to walk a narrow line between developing sources and ticking them off. One thing that I think has changed is that White House "sources," once developed, typically have been more candid than the ones in this White House.
Lawrenceville, Ga.: It seems that Novak's position is that once the bank has been robbed, it's okay for anyone else to rob it, as the money is already gone.
Dan Froomkin: And keep in mind that even in your analogy, Rove drove the first getaway car.
Seattle: Not a question so much as an observation: George W. Bush actually may be regarded by historians as one of the most influential presidents in our history. No, it's not because he saw a problem and made the tough decisions in the face of terroristic threats -- it's because the radical increases in fuel prices, under free market principles, actually may limit the use of automobiles and ultimately reverse the trend of longer commutes to and from an ever-expanding exurbia.
The conversion of the landscape to impervious surfaces, mediated by an auto-centric economy, is one of the biggest and most proximal threats to water quantity and quality that we face in this country. George W. Bush's economically disastrous policies may be the serendipitous catastrophe that accomplishes what no legislature has even dared talk about -- genuine protection of the nation's freshwater resources.
Dan Froomkin: Thanks. I guess that will feature high in my "positive unintended consequences" retrospective.
McLean, Va.: With White House press briefings being nearly all show and nearly no substance, why do papers like The Washington Post waste valuable reporter time on these farces?
Dan Froomkin: They often don't. That's why you see questions from the briefing-room cranks popping up so early in the transcripts these days; they're sitting in the seats reserved for The Post and the Times and...
Chicago: Why hasn't there been any mention in the press about Richard Engel's book and the interview with Bush, where Bush says the war will go on for 40 years and that he doesn't care if the war on terror or the war in Iraq has created more enemies? This seems like a bigger, if not equal story to the McClellan book.
Dan Froomkin: Here are the excerpts in question. I haven't decided what I make of them yet. Check back tomorrow.
Annandale, Va.: Has Scott McClellan come out as a McCain supporter?
Dan Froomkin: No. In fact he's said he's intrigued with Obama.
Nixa, Mo.: If they attack Iran, gas prices would probably hit $6 or more a gallon. Wouldn't that destroy the Republican Party's chances of taking back Congress or the presidency in the future? Are they really that stupid?
Dan Froomkin: There are lots of ways an attack on Iran likely would backfire on Bush and all associated with him. That is one of them.
Cleveland: Hi Dan. If we were to attack Iran, what would be the best timing -- summer, to maximize coverage during the campaign and distract from other issues, or October, so as to maximize the "shock and awe" value at the polls? If not Iran, is there another October Surprise in your crystal ball?
Dan Froomkin: Actually, since I'm not at all sure attacking Iraq would be good for McCain, I think post-November is shaping up as the more likely possibility.
Silver Spring, Md.: I don't think that you are being fair when you say that the U.S. military leadership will not stand up fairly strongly against any direct attack on Iran. While there are certainly Air Force desk jockeys and others who want some of the glory that the Marines and Army have gotten in Iraq and Afghanistan, I think that you would find that most of the "combatant commanders" and their underlings are pretty sick of sending 20-year-olds out into the streets of Baghdad to have their legs blown off. Just about all we see of the military is the photogenic, pundit-type leadership such as Petraeus, but there are many responsible, decent and highly disillusioned colonels, majors and captains out there who know much better than you or I how many U.S. lives would be at stake if we attacked Iran.
Dan Froomkin: Thanks. I'd love to see some reporting on this. I'm sure that you're right, and that a lot of combatant commanders would be hugely against a direct attack -- but are they in any position to do anything about it, especially if it comes about somewhat backhandedly?
Hammond, Ore.: Hi Dan. Just curious about something -- for the longest time President Bush attributed all of this country's "successes" to his tax cuts for the wealthy, but now that reality has set in and everything he has touched is going to pot, where is he and all the administration mouthpieces trumpeting how great his tax cuts are? Shouldn't they be taking to the streets and announcing: "Fear not, our economy is strong and resilient. Let's here it for the economy! The housing market! Gas prices! Inflation! Two wars! National debt!" Hmmm, not a sound. Wonder why?
Dan Froomkin: Actually, you underestimate the man. Just this past Monday he held a meeting with like-minded economists and had this to say: "[T]he economy is not doing as well as we'd like to do -- like it to do today, but there's no question that the tax cuts provided economic vitality. And now the question is, what will the Congress do? Given the facts that tax cuts have worked, what will be the congressional response? Our response is, let's make those tax cuts permanent. Let's make sure that there is certainty during uncertain times in our economy."
San Jose, Calif.: Hi Dan -- good to have you back. Let me get this straight: McClellan says the "media" did not do its job investigating the lead-up to the Iraq War. In the same way Fitzgerald could not get to the bottom of Cheney's involvement in the Plame leak because Scooter Libby was blocking him from getting evidence he needed, wasn't the media blocked from getting information from McClellan (and the media doesn't even have subpoena power)?
In other words, how can the most public figure involved in obstructing the media from getting information, the press secretary, blame them for not doing their job without first admitting that he was the primary reason they couldn't? It's like Scooter Libby blaming Fitzgerald for not indicting Cheney, isn't it?
Dan Froomkin: I have a problem with media criticism coming from a guy who, from behind the podium, made a mockery of the press and the public's right to know. But in this particular case, he's dead right. Watchdog reporting doesn't start and end with the White House press secretary. In fact, it has almost nothing to do with the White House secretary.
There were some journalists who got it exactly right, and they didn't do it from inside the briefing room.
Boynton Beach, Fla.: Dan, I'm a big fan, but I don't think you handled the McClellan issue (Monday's column) well. In his tour as press secretary, he had many embarrassing press conferences where he came across as a horse's ass, and while that was a role he willingly accepted, I believe it gave him the license to write the book he did. There will be others to follow, for a lot of people have a lot of blood on their hands.
I find it inexcusable that some in the corporate media are mashing McClellan when they were nowhere to be found at the moment of truth during the build-up to the Iraq war -- when the facts never added up as the Bushies laid them out. No reporter or columnist put himself out on a limb with the needed fearless reporting -- or did I miss the awarding of that Pulitzer? Media culpa, as Colbert called it the other night.
But all of this is important given the current rhetoric regarding Iran. Frankly, I think the president is waiting until after the election to launch his attack on Iran so as not to torpedo McCain's candidacy. If the media fails us on Iran because it is worried about offending Bush, then no one in the industry will have the first shred of credibility.
Dan Froomkin: You missed that Pulitzer because it wasn't awarded. And as for Iran, I agree that there are obvious lessons and it's not clear we've learned them.
Freehold, N.J.: Assume for a moment that you're going to be advising the next president. Choose three actions (or five, or whatever number you're comfortably coming up with in a fast chat like this) within the president's power, such as ordering the release of testimony/documents, declassifying material, pardoning someone to compel testimony. What would you advise the next president to do to expose some of the more dubious actions/plots/policies of the current administration? And what secrets most intrigue you that you doubt we'll ever get to the bottom of?
Dan Froomkin: That's a good question, and one that I'd like to mull. In the meantime, here's an interesting essay by Steven Aftergood suggesting a few questions for the presidential candidates about their willingness to disclose just what the current administration has done.
Wahpeton, N.D.: Hi Dan, Long time reader, first time with a question. Why do we not hear more from the White House press about the lack of desire from the people in Iraq to keep American troops there? If it is supposed to be a free and democratic country, how can we justify having troops there if the people there don't even want them?
Dan Froomkin: That question was worth the wait!
It's somewhat inevitable that the Iraqi voices who want us to stay will be over-represented in the news coverage. Most reporters congregate around the Green Zone and talk mostly to Iraqis in the Green Zone, and those people are dependent on American troops for their safety, if not their income, etc.
But the (very few) polls I've seen show that the Iraqi people are about as eager for our troops to leave as the American people are for them to come home -- i.e. by healthy majorities. I would like to see more reporting on this.
Dan Froomkin: Thanks very much everyone for your questions and comments. Sorry I couldn't get to more of them, but I have to run.

Two dead, three injured in shooting at Southern California high school
The shooter was reportedly a classmate, described as an "Asian male wearing black clothing."
Two students are dead and at least three others were injured, two of them in critical condition, after a classmate reportedly opened fire on Thursday morning at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, California.
Santa Clarita, California, high school shooting leaves multiple people injured, suspect dead
Officials said they had located the suspected shooter and that the person is "no longer a threat." The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the suspect is in custody and is reportedly in grave condition at a local hospital from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooting occurred in the school's quad area. Officials say video from the scene shows the suspect pulling a semi-automatic pistol out of his backpack, shooting five students, and then shooting himself in the head.
The shooter has been identified as a 16-year-old male student at the school whose birthday is today. Earlier reports described the suspect as an "Asian male wearing black clothing."
#LASD Shooting at Saugus High School , Please avoid the area. Male Asian suspect black clothing last seen at the location. Deputies on scene and still responding. Avoid the area Further information to follow.

If you live in neighborhood s anywhere near Saugus High, PLEASE LOCK DOORS and stay inside. If you see suspect, male dark clothing, in backyards, etc. CALL 911
— SCV Sheriff (@SCVSHERIFF) November 14, 2019
"This is an active shooter situation," said the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Office in tweet posted at 8:32 am. "If you live in neighborhoods anywhere near Saugus High, PLEASE LOCK DOORS and stay inside. If you see suspect, male dark clothing, in backyards, etc. CALL 911"
In a follow-up tweet, officials added that they believed there was only one suspect "but we are actively investigating and following all leads."
Authorities say video from the scene, recorded in the school's quad area, shows the suspect pulling a 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol out of his backpack, shooting five students, and then shooting himself in the head.
This is still a developing story...

Cousin Wallace checks the shotgun stats.
Whilst awaiting my turn @ the barber shoppe I was perusin' a Field & Steam rag and read what I thought was an interesting article.
Tx PWD conducted a survey on which was more effective, lead or steel shot for dove hunters.
TPWD conducted this survey over 3 years ( I think that's what it said) with one observer going out w/one hunter to count the hits & misses and record the ranges.
Neither shooter or observer knew whether they were using steel or lead (shells were "color coded" & otherwise unmarked) 12 gauge.
Lead loads were 1 1/8oz #7 1/2 shot @ 1200fps
Steel loads were 1oz #7size steel @1300fps (dunno much about steel shot sizes...assuming #7 steel is deemed good for doves?)
Both loads had similar recoil so, shooter not supposed to be able to tell difference.
Article claims both loads killed about the same w/the steel load achieving 5% more hits ( I think due to shooters error in frequently not leading bird enuff w/slower lead load)
As a group, this bunch of shooters (forget how many there were but, quite a few) killed one bird for every 4.4 shells expended (22.7%)
National average was one bird killed for every 7.5 shells ( 13.3% ) according to this article.
As a group they missed shots over 30 yards 68% of the time.
As a group they missed shots under 30 yards 57% of the time.
Average "kill" distance was 29 yards.
Now, here's what I found pretty interesting.
Shooters used their own shotguns & had their choice as to what choke they used.
48.1% used "Modified" choke ......21% kill percentage
30.5% used "Imp Cyl" choke.........26% kill percentage
21.4% used "Full" choke ..............16% kill percentage
Note the 5% increase for each step down in choke constriction.
Kinda shows what I've been saying/thinking all these years...."Most guys would do better with a more open choke & also not shoot at birds out of range."
Many years ago I read something that's always stuck with me & I believe it to be pretty close to the truth.
"You can tell a greenhorn wingshooter 'cause he'll always shoot too long a barrel, too tight a choke, too big shot and high brass shotshells."
I've observed this very thing over the years!
Typical rookie will say "I want a 30" barrel and full choke! High brass #6's work best! Them little ole #8's won't even kill a hummingbird."
Well, somewhere in the middle probably lies a pretty good compromise.
Rarely have I ever felt the need for a Full choke and I'd only use #6's if that's all I had....I've had pretty good success killing ducks w/#6's!
Another old saying that I've always remembered is "Pattern fails before penetration" ....Checked mourning doves killed @ 40yds & a #8 will go all the way thru sometimes.
Yep, a #6 will shore-nuff kill a dove "IF" your pattern doesn't let him fly thru without a hit....see little need for #6 unless looong shots w/full choke & your are able to hit at distance.
As for me, I much prefer #7 1/2 as my "do all" shot size with #8's in the smaller gauges and earlier season, especially on the smaller mourning doves.
Whitewings are bigger & tuffer so it's # 7 1/2's for them too. ( This goes for the Eurasian Collared doves too).
Steel vrs Lead.....gimme the lead every time!!!! Surely hope the gubmint don't force us to use steel on doves like they did ducks....I'd be bad mad!
Everyone has their favorites I'm sure....and, there are always exceptions...shooter skill (or, lack thereof) can certainly change these stats...just found this article very interesting!
As always, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions!
Daily Deercam: Not much shaking.
It must be over.
One doe
Little buck.
The rest were rabbits, squirrels and raccoons.
Daily Deercam: Not very fancy.

Cousin Wallace forwards an account of the Holy Lands.
Edited to delete the writer, but here is a contemporary account of what its like on the ground in Israel and Jordan:
We have now been in Israel / Jordan for 3 days. My biggest takeaway is the absolute belief that these countries want peace. They are tired of war and ever-present terrorism. We have spent hours with the Israeli National Police, Border Police, retired Mossad, military units, and even the GID of Jordan (the equivalent of our CIA), and all have expressed a desire to live in safe communities, raise their children, and coexist.
The holy sites are difficult to appreciate, in my humble opinion, because they are so commercialized and so well attended. We will hear from the Police Commander tomorrow about the difficulties of policing the Temple Mount, and we will visit it during the daytime.
Israel has less population than New York City, as does Jordan. They both lament that they live in bad neighborhoods. Except for Amman, you do not get the sense that these people fear for their safety. In fact, it is just the opposite. They go about their business, whether work or recreation, in small and large groups. I thought I would see police everywhere, but that is only true for the Old City, which is where the holy sites are. I seldom see officers elsewhere on the streets.
We spent a day in the West Bank (Occupied Territory) visiting a training site for the Israeli Border Police. The people were fantastic. We saw them accomplish riot control, bus assaults, and shooting demonstrations. I left with a BP green beret.
Amman, Jordan, was a different story. The city has 3.5 million people, and it is in the desert mountains. Traffic was horrible! I will never complain about Austin again. We had armed escorts the entire time, and they weaved us through and almost into traffic repeatedly. We were inches from colliding, and no one seemed to care. We met with the King's brother and spent an hour with him and the Director of Military Intelligence. Following this, we traveled to a Special Forces compound that was largely paid for by you and I. I'm betting Lt. Watson has trained at this site, which is home to the KASOTC. Afterwards, it was off to the 1,200 person SWAT unit that serves the city. They have two operations a week, mostly related to criminal offenses (armed robbery and homicide). They take tremendous casualties. They had an active shooter just last week, when one of the local police officers opened fire at a training site, killing several. This unit is committed to the fight! I left with their trademark black beret.
Both countries are very troubled by Da'esh...what we call ISIL. Russia's involvement, they fear, will cause even more foreign fighters to join, thus escalating the violence. The Jordanian GID (CIA) correctly pointed out that Syria does not have security forces to keep the country afloat should Da'esh be defeated, so they are worried about long-term plans, or the lack thereof. Everyone agrees that Russia's involvement changed things. The refugees are overwhelming everyone!
By the way, we have now run into two NYPD detectives. One is assigned to Jerusalem and the other to Amman. NYPD's chief is with me on this trip.
It is now 10 pm in Jerusalem. I have an early morning run awaiting me!

Cousin Wallace talks Texas Open Carry
From Cousin Wallace:
Below is a piece I wrote a couple of years ago when I was inspired by a really tough but really good class we went through as part of our firearm instructor school. Now that "open carry" is just around the corner, we have an opportunity to somewhat "rethink" our carry options as opposed to "concealed carry only." By this I mean that most of us will continue to carry concealed but, we now have the welcomed option of being a little less concerned about accidentally exposing our sidearm. We can now, for example, carry a sidearm in a shoulder or belt holster under a shirt or jacket but, if say the wind blows our shirt up and exposes the weapon on your hip, it's no longer an offense. That's to our advantage as our comfort level as well as our "better armed" level options have increased!
Speaking for myself, I won't be nearly as hesitant to put on a belt holster and carry a larger and potentially more effective sidearm instead of trying to conceal my beloved Kahr 9x19mm single-stack pistols.... IF, it's where I can cover them up with a jacket or slouchy shirt. The Kahrs will still be used heavily as I still believe they are very good pistols firing a nasty 127gr +P+ Talon. Now however, I can certainly strap on a classic 1911, my tried and true Sig P220 or one of the three Glock .357's I carry daily @ work. I have immense confidence in any of them as they offer more "shootability," good sights and good punch with the Glocks offering the added advantage of higher capacity and the very good terminal performance of the .357 Sig cartridge.
My opinions expressed below haven't changed over the last couple of years. I encourage you to read through the text below and be thinking about what you will choose to carry come 01 Jan 2016. Almost everyone I know will continue to carry "concealed" as will I on most occasions. Please remember merely carrying a sidearm doesn't mean you are prepared. Your mindset requires constant attention and you should practice often with any/all sidearms you will carry....the "Murphy's Law" mentioned below is very real and something a lot of folks never think will happen to them. Evaluate your new options and "reply all" for some discussion on this matter for the benefit of all.
Yours in shooting and favor the "X-Ring"
( Previous article from about 2 years ago below)
Most of you receiving this have seen the recent back and forth over what's the most effective handgun calibre which will kind of go along with this little piece. I'll go ahead and say right now, this is just my opinion but, I will try to explain why I have these opinions. Hear me out and keep an open mind and see if you can grasp some of what I'm saying.
Last year our department hosted a course titled "Off-duty Violent Encounters." This day long school was taught by SWAT instructors from Austin, Passadena and Houston. It was geared for off-duty police officers but there was a lot that could be applied to civilians that I want to share. Myself and other adjunct firearms instructors initially took the class then we subsequently taught the rest of our officers during in-service training in the following weeks. It was tough going. These guys drained us of just about every ounce of energy and then required us to shoot under stress. All this to show us an encounter won't be a walk in the park and that our accuracy levels will be affected. We were constantly doing push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, punching bags, kicking bags, elbow strikes....whatever they could dream up to tax our energy & induce stress. Along with the mental stress, they required us to identify and shoot a particular face or facesamong many other faces. We were required to issue verbal warnings to attempt to gain compliance. Assessdifferent levels of threats....shoot/no shoot kind of stuff. It was intense, it was a heck of a class....
I want to address some firearm issues I observed. I came away with somewhat of a different outlook after dealing with the variety of scenarios they threw at us. Some of these are also from the in-service classes we taught during the following weeks. I think I got a pretty clear picture of what works and what doesn't as far as the types of firearms different officers carry for off-duty. Civilians carrying CHL also fit here. Many instances of "Murphy's Law" occurred! Dropped weapons & magazines, fumbling trying to draw from concealment, weapons falling out of waistband during running, etc. One officer's Kel-Tec P32 seized up and we were never able to get it going after that. He had to borrow my pistol to finish the course...fell in love with it too!!!
First and most glaring thing I noticed was that small, easily carried hide-out guns just don't cut it if much poop hits the fan. You better hope you're lucky and everything goes well or you will wish you had brought something bigger/better. Tiny guns are easy to hide and light weight but the are tough to shoot! I'm speaking of Kel-Tec P32's, P3AT's, Ruger LCP's, S&W Bodyguards and others of this size. They are better than a sharp stick but don't have a lot going for them with low capacity, poor sights, hard to manage triggers, etc. They are typically .32ACP or .380ACP which just don't generate much punch. They will certainly kill if shot placement is good....but shots are hard to place with these due to the aforementioned traits.
Very few officers carried revolvers. A couple had S&W snubbie .38's. Since they are only 5-shooters, you better make those 5 count because a reload will be a difficult thing to accomplish during a stressful fight...probably wont be able to get it done. The instructors made this point by having multiple assailants during scenarios. About the only thing going these days for a revolver is that it's probably more reliable and less ammunition sensitive than an auto. Pocket lint, limp-wristing, misfires, etc wont be as much of an problem for the wheelgun. Revolvers also don't conceal as easily as a flat-sided auto. I've still got a couple of .38 snubbies but rarely carry them anymore. The .38 Special ( or .357 Magnum for that matter) just doesn't get a whole lot of velocity out of a 2" barrel. Hollow-points are usually a waste of time & money. I've always thought wadcutters or semi-wadcutters were a person's best bet since they will do the cookie-cutter thing. Roundnosed bullets cause a pucker type hole in flesh and it doesn't bleed as much.
Now, for the opposite side. Big, service size handguns are obviously much easier to shoot and more effective due to their better sights, longer barrels, bigger calibres, etc. Remember, we are talking about "concealed carry"...the instructors made it a point to easily spot who was trying to conceal a weapon that was simply too large to hide without it "printing" under a shirt or being a dead giveaway in the waistline. This is a real problem in the summertime when you cant wear a coat or jacket to help with concealment.
Here's where you need to be honest with yourself which may go against what your initial thoughts were. Is my tiny .380 or 5-shot snubbie adequate if I find myself in a unavoidable confrontation with 2 or 3 thugs? Probably not. You will have to decide for yourself.
Am I willing to go to the trouble to try to conceal and put up with the weight of a full-size pistol like a Glock or 1911? They sure are nice if needed but I can assure you, Ole Murphy will see to it that the one time you don't have them is when trouble will occur.
Over the last 24 years, I've carried a variety of off-duty firearms. I've come to the conclusion one must compromise between small and light enough to be willing to carry in all types of weather/clothing and big enough to be able to shoot effectively with a cartridge/ammo combo that will give me decent terminal ballistics. I have a P3AT Kel-Tec and a P380 Kahr that are tiny & light...pure joy to carry. But, after seeing how poorly they perform in the school, I don't carry them much at all anymore. I realize their shortcomings. My Baby Glock .357 Sig is a powerhouse, but, it's bulky, heavy and just no fun at all to carry. Would be a great thing to have if I needed it though. My S&W 1911 is pure pleasure...but it's big and weighs a ton!
Somewhere between these two extremes should be a handgun that will make a good compromise for you. There are always trade offs. Bigger calibres usually mean bigger frames and less capacity. For me, I've been pleased considderble with my Kahr CW9 and almost as pleased with it's chopped version, the CM9. These are "intermediate size" pistols. Big enough to get a grip on and with good, usable sights...in other words "shootable." They are polymer frame and single-stack magazines. Triggers are DA only but easy to manage...simple for when the SHTF! They are also available in .40S&W and .45ACP but frame size gets bigger and mag capacity is one round less than the 9X19mm versions. With good ammo, the 9mm is better than it's ever been...still no slobber-knocker but no slouch either. With my preferred 127gr +P+ Talons, it cruises along @ 1150+ fps over my chrono...still enough velocity to open up that wicked bullet. The .40 & .45 are more iffy on the expansion due to their slower speed. The Talons usually open up pretty good though.
There are certainly other good choices out there. These just happen to be the ones I'm the happiest with. Maybe you are content carrying your full size service type pistol once a week when you have to go to the store. I have to carry a pistol every day. No biggie on duty in a belt holster. I have tucked my Glock 31 in my waist under a loose shirt or when I'm wearing a coat. Mostly for just a short time. For an extended time though, it's usually one of the 9mm Kahrs and a spare 7-rd magazine. I forgot to mention it was highly encouraged to carry a reload. It's amazing how fast you can go thru a magazine!
It's a good idea to evaluate your method of carry also. You got to be able to conceal but you also will need easy access to your weapon if needed. We were instructed to always carry our badges or police I.D. and how to use this to identify ourselves if involved in a shooting. Don't want some well-meaning CHL holder to think we are the bad guy!
Again, I encourage you to honestly assess your choice of firearm, holster, ammo, etc. It might make a difference if you ever find yourself in a bad situation.
As always, I encourage & welcome your comments and thoughts.

Camp Perry 2015 TSRA Team wins both National Trophies.
2015 was a remarkable run for the TSRA Service Rifle Team. The Infantry Trophy group was confronted with flag-popping wind on the 600 yard line to start. The dope was 4 minutes of right windage -and that turned out to be on the money. Few of the other teams had the nerve to crank that much on. They fired an 1191, second place overall behind the AMU at 1270 to win the Leatherneck Trophy and the Civilian National title.
TSRA Infantry Trophy lineup. Buddy Reich, Randy S, Kyle Hoeschler, Clay Hefner in back. Keith Stephens, Dave Wilson, Justin Utley, Tony Miller in front.
The National Trophy Team Match was fired the next day and the TSRA led the Soldier of Marathon Trophy race whole way. Again they were second only to the Army Marksmanship Unit in overall score, firing a 2900 to the AMU 2938.
TSRA Bullseye Team. Back: Buddy Reich, Lee Eldridge, Randy S, Kyle Hoeschler. Front row: Keith Stephens, Coach Dave Wilson. Captain Tony Miller, Justin Utley.
Great coaching, teamwork, individual efforts and organization by everyone!
Cousin Wallace walks the Kennedy crime scene.
After spending most of the day last weekend @ Dallas Market Hall gunshow, Danny Henry took Richard Hall & myself down to Dealey Plaza to have a look-see.
I had seen it before from the freeway but, had never actually been there to explore.
Like everyone else, I had seen a bunch of the news reports & documentaries covering the assignation of Kennedy which had shown the area.
By standing there & looking around, in all directions and from all angles, I gained some perspective of the ranges involved, the angles, etc....very interesting to me!
First, I was kinda surprised how close Oswald's perch was to the motorcade.
Also, how small the "grassy knoll" was....not very large at all.
The newz media/documentaries led me to believe the area was much bigger.
( Of course, they also make folks think Oswald was a "crack shot" skilled rifleman....hmmmm, not so much...)
I've looked @ Oswald's qualification scores (two, using the M1 Garand)...he barely made Sharpshooter the 1st time and failed to make Sharpshooter the 2nd qual...very average and not even in the league of a "skilled rifleman" in my opinion.
With the short ranges involved, it didn't take super skill....some skill of course but, any ole country boy used to shooting rabbits or squirrels could have easily hit Kennedy (of course, that's just my opinion).
From Oswald's position, I'm thinking I could have done the deed with one of my handguns....a steep angled 15 to 20 yard shot could have been taken if he'd wanted.
Now, I don't exactly want to sound like a conspiracy guy but, while there, I asked myself "where would you have gotten if you were going to take the shot?"
While Oswald had a fairly good place (elevated & with a rifle rest on the window) I'm not sure that would have been my 1st choice.
The road was marked with a couple of "X's"...the 1st where Kennedy is hit in the back w/exit through the throat from 156gr FMJ RN 6.5x52mm Italian Carcano ( my opinion is this was Oswald's 2nd shot & only time he hit Kennedy)...looked about 30 - 35 yard shot from the bldg. Oswald was in.
The 2nd "X" was about 20 yards further down the street and closer to the "grassy knoll"...this is where the fatal headshot occurred. Distance & angle was much harder shot (though still doable) for Oswald.
I strolled over behind the wooden picket fence (other side of the concrete wall at the top of grassy knoll) & "discovered" this would have been "my choice" of an ambush position! Motorcade coming almost directly at me....very slight angle, almost lined up with me....easily could have tracked the target...no problem at all to hit someone at what I estimated to be between 30 & 35 yards. A few yards across a parking lot behind me & I'm in amongst rail cars & brush....very workable escape route (my opinion).
Zupruder film has always made me think Kennedy was hit from the front & with an expanding type bullet....
I used to work for a guy named Frank Sheffield.
Frank's sister was @ Dealey Plaza & a witness to the assignation.
Frank told me she would get extremely upset if anyone told her Oswald was the only shooter as she heard shots coming from 2 different directions and "one was a whole lot louder than the other!"
With everyone's attention on the motorcade, and the confusion after the shots, no telling what went on...might be fairly easy to slip out during the confusion....
We may never know for sure but, I remain unconvinced Oswald was the one who hit Kennedy in the head....the picket fence was a great spot for a second shooter & my personal favorite from a hunter's or shooter's perspective ... I know that sounds weird but, just passing on my opinion.
From those who have also been to Dealey Plaza, what do ya'll think?
Cousin Wallace runs the match.
Cousin Wallace and the Abilene Pistol Matches.
Shooters:
It's coming up on two years since we started the local pistol matches @ Abilene Gun Club. Here's a little history of how we got it started.
After reading about a "new" type match, developed by CMP called the "M&P" (Military & Police) match, I was inspired and wanted to try this here at home. Since their version restricted certain weapon features and ammo types, I felt like that would hinder local participation. Knowing there are lots of guys & gals who own sidearms, I felt we needed a match that would appeal to those who were not the "hard-core" competition shooters. I liked the course of fire and the generous time limits allowed. Not everyone is a "run and gun" type shooter so, I felt like our version of the M&P match would be geared toward folks who wanted to do some "advanced plinking" and increase their skills with a handgun of "their" choice....why not? Everyone has a favorite and a big percentage of "favorites" wouldn't have fit the criteria required by the CMP.
Before trying the first match, I ran this proposal past the service rifle shooters who were 100% in favor! Grady, with AGC was also in favor so, I set about and built target frames, bases and scrounged all the cardboard I could find to paste the B-8 targets to. We held our first few matches on the main firing line but, found the existing shooting benches less than ideal plus, we hindered normal operations of the main firing line. The club obtained several carports for the old cowboy action pits so, the pistol match(s) were moved to that location. This necessitated building dedicated shooting tables but, now that we've done that, things are much better!
Keeping the same 40-shot course of fire, we have incorporated rimfire only matches and, a "compact carry" match with the range reduced to 15 yards instead of the usual 25 yards. This puts the smaller pistols and revolvers on a more suitable course as it was hard for them to be competitive at the longer distance. Many shooters shoot both matches. I will continue to consider other types of matches, speak up if anyone has any ideas.
After two years of running these matches and, keeping up with scores, here are a few of my observations:
It's fun! Quite a few of you have personally told me how much they enjoy these matches. That "makes my day!" ...I enjoy seeing everyone having fun and at the same time increasing their skills with a handgun. My personal thanks to everyone who comes out to shoot!
25 yards is a long way to shoot with a handgun for most people. I'd be willing to say a large percentage of our shooters had rarely shot a handgun much at this distance. A big percentage of shooters can bounce a can at 10 yards, but, staying within the scoring rings (19.68 inches for the 5-ring) with all 10 shots is another matter. Nearly everyone came away saying "It's harder than I thought."
Close to 100% of the shooters expressed dread knowing they would be required to shoot one-handed with their weak hand. Now that they've tried it, they see it's not as bad as they thought. Some shooters frequently shooter better with their weak hands than they do with their strong hands! I've also noticed if you are right-handed, when you transition to your left (weak) hand, your shots will consistently group to the right of point of aim....see this over and over again. Most shooters have learned to "hold off" to the left to compensate. Obviously, one would have never learned this without trying it.
Model 1911 pistols are dominant. With a few exceptions, the old tried and true 1911 pistols frequently top the list. Most red-blooded Americans have been in love with the 1911 for over a century. It feels good in the hand and has a good single-action trigger. The .45ACP is a wonderful target cartridge that delivers top accuracy. Even 1911's in other calibres shoot well. Several folks prefer the 9x19mm versions and, we've even had a couple in .40S&W too.
Handloads better than factory loads? Are home-made cartridges, frequently using home-made cast bullets, superior to new factory loaded ammo or, is it the person using such ammo just can afford to shoot more and become more skilled? In my opinion, both....there's absolutely nothing wrong with properly handloaded ammo and, I've proven to myself that my home-cast bullets are superbly accurate! I do believe handloaders become better shooters since they can & do shoot more affordable ammo. Just because the factory made the ammo doesn't mean it will shoot better...I'll put my ammo up against the factory stuff all day long, any day. Those that believe otherwise can think what they want....
Optical sights help the old eyes. Since our primary objective is to have fun, optical type sights have allowed shooters that have focus difficulties to get back into the game. So far, I still get by and prefer good ole irons but, it's an option that may help some shooters.
Revolvers are still viable. It seems most shooters these days focus on the semi-autos but, the good old revolver still has a place! Several of our shooters shoot the course with their favorite wheelgun (so far, no single-actions though). Since the time limits are generous, reloading is usually a non-factor. Even the 70-second timed-fire stage isn't a problem if the shooter stays focused. I really like shooting my revolvers and recently shot my best overall score with any handgun using my S&W M19-3 Combat Magnum and home-cast wadcutters. I like em all but, admit my favorite is my 1911 in .45ACP!
Those that work at it, become very good shooters! Our most dedicated shooters challenge themselves to get better each and every match. It doesn't happen overnight. Old and frequently bad habits are hard to break. The better shooters work on their weaknesses between matches. A big part of this is mental...practice equals being prepared. Being prepared equals confidence. Confidence equals better scores.
Murphey's Law. I've seen quite a few "failures" with equipment. Sights getting loose and almost falling off. Batteries dead in optical sights. Magazines that won't feed. Ammo that won't chamber. Stove-pipe malfunctions. Failures to eject. Stuck bullet...no powder in cartridge. Dud primers. Double feeds. Brought wrong ammo. Forgot to bring ammo. Didn't bring enough ammo. Didn't bring magazines.....reminds me of an old SWAT saying: "He who fails to prepare should prepare to fail." or another: "One is none, two is one." Check your gear the night before...nuff said.
Don't give up! Attitude determines altitude! I'm very proud of one of our shooters who has come from one of the lowest scores ever fired on this course to very near the top. He didn't allow his poor initial performance to get in his way of becoming a better shooter. He accepted coaching, broke bad habits and above all worked at becoming better. This should be an example to all that everyone can get better if they work on their weaknesses and stay in practice.
Looking back through the match reports I see the wide range of handguns used in the matches. With 1911's being the most common, we've also seen the full spectrum ... all the way from a crude Hi-Point to the refined Hammerli 208. This is of great interest to me. Nice to see some of the oldies still shooting such as Tokerevs, Lugers and Browning Hi-Powers. Lots of brands represented too....H&K, Para-Ordnance, Springfield Armory, Colt, Beretta, Smith&Wesson, Browning, LesBaer, Rock Island Armory, Ruger, Walther, Glock, Hi-Standard, Sig-Sauer, EAA, Kimber, Taurus, Wilson, STI, ATI, CZ and maybe some I've forgot.
Ammunition: In addition to .22 rimfire, we've seen a wide array of calibres used. Everything from .32 S&W Long up through .45 Colt. In revolvers, the .38 Special is hands down the most widely used. The wonderful old .45ACP is the most common auto pistol calibre with the 9X19mm also popular. It's not uncommon to see 7.62X25mm, .357Sig or .40S&W. I tried to get a count on rounds expended in the matches and came up with 12,440 rounds expended since we had our first match in July of 2013. That oughta keep the ammo and component companies happy! I enjoyed every shot!
As always, I welcome everyone's comments, good or bad. If you don't mind sharing your thoughts/comments, use "reply all" ...Thanx!
Panola Regional Match Photos, May 2, 2015.
Lot of effort to throw a party this big from prepping the range on a work day, rebuilding all the targets to calling the line, Match Directing the paper, scorecards, handling the results line by line, handing out awards, sending in results and handling the money. Match Director Dave Wilson, (and Phylis), David Keys calling the line, Ken Gaby working results and many more helping hands made it look smooth and effortless. All the competitors had to do was show up and shoot. Big thanks owed for the efforts of the few on behalf of the many. Panola in Texas in May is the best place to shoot.....anywhere.
