    March 28, 2014 President Barack

    March 28, 2014 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write on behalf of the United States Commission on Civil Rights (hereafter “the Commission”) to request formal recognition and establishment by Congress of January 30th of every year henceforth as a permanent national holiday--National Fred Koremastu Day-- and that the President issue an Executive Order declaring January 30th the Fred Korematsu National Day of Service in recognition of Fred T. Korematsu’s contribution to upholding civil rights and liberties for all citizens in our country. Fred Korematsu is a civil rights champion who was thrust into our public consciousness in 1942, when at the age of 23 he refused to go to the United States’ internment camps established for Japanese Americans in the wake of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attacks.1 Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, authorized the Secretary of War and all supporting federal agencies to detain and relocate Americans of Japanese ancestry to internment camps in the interest of national security.2 Mr. Korematsu was arrested and convicted of going against the government’s orders.3 He subsequently appealed, and his case went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled against Mr. Korematsu.4 For the Commission, this is not merely a part of history, but is personal. Commissioner Michael Yaki’s father and his family were held in an internment camp during World War II. Mr. Korematsu’s case was overturned in 1983 after a pro-bono team of attorneys re- opened his case on the basis of government misconduct after discovering the government had hidden documents which consistently showed the federal government knew that Japanese Americans were not engaged in any acts of sabotage or any other act which could be construed as against the interests of the United States.

    CREATING FIRE-RESISTANT PROPERTIES and COMMUNITIES About

    F I R E S C A P I N G DOUGLAS KENT MS, MLA CREATING FIRE-RESISTANT PROPERTIES AND COMMUNITIES About B&W by: Frederic Larson, The San Francisco Chronicle HISTORY CURRENTLY Photo by the Press Democrat, Oct. 2017 The Problem • Megafires, firestorms and fire tornados are now more common. • Scientists, fire professionals and ecologists believe the worst is still ahead. • The two primary reasons driving the increase in frequency and ferocity are well known: The Problem 1. Warming Planet Warmer temperatures create drier and more ignitable landscapes. Warming also increases the likelihood of fire weather—those exceptionally hot, low humidity and windy days. The Problem 2. More Structures in Fire Country Rural used to mean a few hundred people living in the hills, now it means a few thousand. According to fire experts, there are over 46 million homes representing a population of over 100 million living in high fire hazard areas within the U.S. Sixty percent of all new homes are being built in fire country. Twenty-five percent of California’s population are at risk of losing their homes—almost 10 million people. The Problem But, warming and growth are not all: Air Pollution: Both gaseous and particulate pollution impact native soils and plants and favor invasive plants that have changed historic patterns of fire. Altered Hydrology: Drawing down aquifers and dry season runoff have a profound impact in the foothills and riparian corridors. Suppression: Wildfires used to roam landscapes for weeks, if not months. Fires nowadays are immediately extinguished—and only get a foothold during severe fire weather.

ALABAMABACK ROAD - DAY It's a sunny, winter day on a paved country in south/western Alabama. In the distance, peaking over a loping hill we see a faded metallic green, 1964 Buick Skylark with a white convertible top and New York plates. As it approaches, we see two young men in the car, both with dark hair and sunglasses. They look cool. CLOSE SHOT - RADIO A hand turns the dial in search of something contemporary -­ finding nothing but country music ••• RADIO (singing) If you can't live without me, then why aren't you dead ••• ? ••• and local ads with southern accents, farm reports, evangelists, gospel singers, and a woman with marital problems seeks guidance from a radio preacher. ON THE ROAD ( The two-lane paved country road passes through huge fields of cotton plants - little shrubs with little, fluffy tufts of white. On the side of the road, every 100 yards or so, we see 8' X 8' X 20' trussed-up, squared-off bales of cotton covered with plastic tarps - waiting to be picked up and trucked off. Up ahead they approach a long bed truck filled with logs on the way to a sawmill -- this is also lumber country. They overtake the truck.

  • Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve PART

    Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve PART

    Mortal Engines By Phillip Reeve PART ONE 1 THE HUNTING GROUND It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea. In happier times, London would never have bothered with such feeble prey. The great Traction City had once spent its days hunting far bigger towns than this, ranging north as far as the edges of the Ice Waste and south to the shores of the Mediterranean. But lately prey of any kind had started to grow scarce, and some of the larger cities had begun to look hungrily at London. For ten years now it had been hiding from them, skulking in a damp, mountainous, western district which the Guild of Historians said had once been the island of Britain. For ten years it had eaten nothing but tiny farming towns and static settlements in those wet hills. Now, at last, the Lord Mayor had decided that the time was right to take his city back over the land-bridge into the Great Hunting Ground. It was barely halfway across when the look-outs on the high watch-towers spied the mining town, gnawing at the salt-flats twenty miles ahead. To the people of London it seemed like a sign from the gods, and even the Lord Mayor (who didn't believe in gods or signs) thought it was a good beginning to the journey east, and issued the order to give chase.
