AN APPEAL BY FORMER JNUSU OFFICE·BEARERS TO THE JNU STUDENT COMMUNITY .
.
Friends, . . I f ,~ h ldi.
The SFI-AISF combine is seeking a political mandate from the student commumty In these JNUSU elections n avour 0.1 .~ o mg the secular democratic and progressive character of JNU, as well as for continuing the struggles for more and better student fac1hties. OV~ the last on~ year, the SFI-AISF led union has raised and made s1gnific~nt achievem.~~ts on issues like elected student representa~~~ In Academic Council democratisation of Grievance Redressal Committee, Improved facilities and llmmg m the library, better sports faCilities, hostel allotment t~ all outstation students, raising the issue of fulfilment of SC/ST quota in direct PhD admissions etc. For the coming year, we shall be focussing on the demand for financial assistance to all needy students, partlcular1y the students coming from the socially and economically deprived sectiorts, hostel facilities for students. at the time of registra~on, enhancing cor:nputer-wlth-lntemet facUlties within JNU creation of a North-East Studies Programme 1n SSS to academ1cally engage With the problems of the people .

in the North-East and other issues. While the SFI-AISF combine Is seeking support from students on the basis of a positive agenda and on the basis of its principled and consistent fight against privatisation and saffronisation of education, all other organisations are contesting these elections on a negative anti-Left plank, exposing their complete bankruptcy on student Issues. It is disturbing that the ABVP has once again fallen back to its hardcore hfndutva agenda, which implies minority bashing and anti-communist propaganda in the name of asserting 'cultural nationalism'. We would like to remind the ABVP that the student community of JNU is well aware of the ant1-nallonal credentials of the RSS throughout tt.e freedom movement as well as their complete surrender to US imperialism betraying the interests of the Indian people at each and every juncture. The RSS-BJP has received a fitting rebuff from the people of our country in the recently concluded elections, and we appeal to the student community to give a fitting rebuff to the communal ABVP in the JNUSU elections. It is significant to note that after the recent Lok Sabha elections, while the Left parties are extending outside support to the UPA at the center in order to keep the communal forces out of power, yet within campus the NSUI has no qualms In hobnobbing and striking deals with the ABVP against the SFI-AJSF. While the recently held SLL&CS GBM was witness to an ABVP-NSUI gang-up, similar electoral adjustment was done by the ABVP and the NSUI during JNUSU elections in the year 2000, leading to the one vote victory for the ABVP in President's posl Similar anti-Left alliance between the nght wing Congress and the communal RSS-BJP have also been seen in recent years in Kerala and West Bengal. Ounng the last assembly elections in Kerala, the Congress struck deals with the BJP for the purpose of defeatmg the Left Democratic Front, which was exposed when the vote share of the BJP suddenly jumped from 5% in the Assembly elections to 12% in the recent Lok Sabha elections. In Maida Disllict in WB, the Congress ts running the Zila Panchayat today with the support of the BJP. We warn the NSUI-ABVP against taking the consciousness of the student community for granted, and we appeal to the student community to give a fitting rebuff to such unprincipled and opportunistic alliance. The AI SA after holding the general secretary and two councillor posts in the last union is contesting electtons as though it were out of union and does not have to answer for its lack of perspective on student issues. Their campaign against the Left is remarl<ably close to the kind of sensationalism that Is spread by the tabloids and the paparazzi. We would appeal to the student community to reject this politics of vacuous phrase mongering by the AISA, which is based upon spreading canards against the Left, which has not only played a historic role in defeating the reactionary BJP-Ied NDA in the Lok Sabha elections, but is also engaged in a crucial battle with the Congress led UPA even while supporting the government, to shape the govemmenfs policies in a pro-people direction Today's announcement by the Prime Minister that the government is open to a review of AFSPA in Manipur is yet another instance of the change in govemmenrs policy stance brought about by pressure from the Lefl We appeal to the student community to rally behind the SFJ-AJSF alliance in order to defend the secular, progressive and democratic culture of JNU and uphold the legacy of struggles on student Issues and defeat all varieties of tacit and unholy alliances that are being struck behind the closed doors in order to strengthen the right wing reactionary forces in JNU. .

Continued this sequence of the process of development as we drove around near I-70 and up into the Front Range. About 2 hours after I started taking photos of it, the thunderhead began anviling out. Looks like someone set off a nuclear bomb!

On Sept. 14, American Foreign Service Association President Ambassador Barbara Stephenson participated in a panel discussion, “Is American Diplomacy at Risk?” The event was sponsored by the U.S. Foreign Policy and National Security Program at American University. Amb. Stephenson acknowledged that American diplomacy is at risk, but encouraged A.U. students to pursue their dreams of joining the Foreign Service, promising to do her best as AFSA president to restore a healthy career path for them.

Up in the air, Junior Birdmen...
After the chicks leave the nest, Ma and Pa bluebird continue to take care of them. They shelter them in treetops (I'm guessing in deciduous trees where there's more cover than in pines). They feed them and look after them while the youngsters learn where to find food and how to feed themselves.
I continue to provide mealworms after they leave the nest. I whistle and sing to let them know I've put the worms out, and pretty soon one or both adults show up, fledglings in tow.
They perch on the nesting box and the feeding cup, and the adults feed them.
Eventually, after a couple of weeks, they begin to feed themselves.
For the past three years that I've been doing this, they stop showing up at the box after two or three weeks beyond the day they fledged.
Bon, on s'est fait griller, les mecs, ils aiment pas que les files fassent un truc sans eux ;-), mais vous n'en saurez pas plus avant 14h... sauf si vous arrivez à remettre les lettres dans l'ordre avant ça... et encore...
Les lettres proviennent de Spell with Flickr.
The old library at Utah State is coming down. The clock stopped a week ago and they removed the webcam from the roof. I wish they had kept both running.

Keepers of the Green Tradition Continues
For the fourth consecutive year, a local Keepers of the Green group donated funds for the purchase of a motorized wheelchair for an individual with The Arc Baltimore.
The village is full of steep alleyways, often twisting under houses (this one continues through the arch on the right) - only usable on foot.
Continuing our conversion of the "mother sauces" to vegan versions, a classic white veloute sauce over gnocchi - the latter not as successful without egg to bind them, but we'll work on that....
