Statement in Opposition to the Immigrant Protection Act
Despite its name, the Immigrant Protection Act does not provide new protections for our immigrant community. In fact, the IPA, as it is written, protects criminals while putting innocent people in greater danger.
The Act will make it more difficult to make transfers of prisoners at the county jail who are wanted on federal charges by Homeland Security. The jail provides a safe and neutral place to make such transfers. Under this act, transfers would be moved into the community which poses greater risks for innocent members of the community and Law Enforcement.
We want our immigrant community to feel safe and welcome in Westchester County. We applaud District Attorney Scarpino for establishing a task force within his office to ensure that those immigrants coming forward to report crimes will not face repercussions related to their immigration status. Nurturing trust between Law Enforcement and the immigrant community is an essential component to that objective. No one wants to prevent victims of crimes, especially domestic violence, from being reported out of fear of immigration issues. Shielding people who are accused of committing crimes from federal authorities is dangerous and irresponsible. When someone who is in this country illegally commits a crime, their victims are usually fellow immigrants. Why would we want to protect these predators?
Local law enforcement, including county police, do not enforce or address immigration issues. They do not seek to determine immigration status or use it in any way to perform their duties. Just to make that point clear two county executives have issued executive orders to specifically direct county police to not engage in immigration enforcement or inquire about immigration status. County Executive Spano issued his Executive Order No. 4 in 2006, and County Executive Astorino updated the directive further in September of 2017. The subject of these executive orders is exactly what the IPA is purported to address, but does not.
The IPA states that “County Law Enforcement Agencies (CLEA) shall not communicate with Federal Immigration Authorities.” One exception to this directive contained in an earlier version of the IPA was if the individual was a known gang member. This is a reasonable exception since we know of MS-13’s growing presence on Long Island which is close proximity to Westchester. Why not include this provision since there are national databases that could be used to identify such individuals? However, it was removed and when we asked for it to remain in the law, it was denied.
According to federal guidelines, the IPA will clearly cause Westchester County to be classified as a “Sanctuary County”. Another request that was denied was to include representatives of Homeland Security in the committee discussion and deliberation. We requested that federal immigration representatives be present to answer questions and give their assessment of the IPA. Shouldn’t we hear from them to determine how the IPA could affect them in the carrying out of their duties? Perhaps their input could have made a more effective law and one that everyone could support. It was another opportunity lost that could have garnered unanimous support by the BOL.
The IPA is designed specifically to do only two things; protect undocumented criminals sitting in the county jail, and eliminate the distinction between legal and illegal immigration. Anything that inhibits law local enforcement from working closely with their federal law enforcement partners like the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies— is a bad and reckless idea.
The full statement was: "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men". It was an invitation given a little over 2000 years ago to ordinary people who would become part of the first twelve.
Whether you believe or not; like it or not; adhere to it or not; realise it or not; that summon, that call has had the most profound effect on the world that we know and the lives that we live.
In an age when a politician becomes the leader of a nation by pandering to the tides of popular opinion; when candidates back flip and forward flip in a circus of public spectacle, that invitation issued thousands of years ago—with its clarity, its transparency, its single-mindedness, with its purpose and yes, with its offer of radical change—is, at the very least, something I have learned to respect.
I think the first people who heard that invitation might have smiled at becoming fishers of men (just as quickly as this man in the picture smiled at me). But I think equally as quick, they left their posts and followed. They must have seen something.

Project statement from Rory Ou:
xuanjitu is an online, web-based implementation of Xuanji tu(璇玑图), an ancient palindrome poem by Chinese poet Su Hui. "One of the earliest extant poems by a woman—also among the most complex and unsung—the Xuanji tu takes the form of a 29 x 29 character grid, embroidered or woven in five colors in silk, written in classical Chinese in the fourth century." (—Jen Bervin)
As the poem can be read horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, in either direction, there are thousands and thousands of ways through the grid that can form rhyming poems of various line lengths. Plenty of scholars have published books and papers about how to read it, over the thousand+ years since it was created, but mostly in the form of text and printed diagrams to show the paths through the grid.
This app animates those readings proposed by scholars, and (eventually, I hope) will allow visitors to discover new readings of their own.
Demo mode:
The app is still a work in progress. So far, it only has a non-interactive demo mode, where it runs in a continuous loop, about an hour long. The loop consists of over 500 readings (distinct poems) proposed by Michèle Métail in her book Wild Geese Returning: Chinese Reversible Poems (translated by Jody Gladding). For all colors other than red, the loop includes every reading listed in Métail's book (with minor exceptions); for red--which has such a disproportionately large number of possible readings that Métail doesn't list them in the book--the loop contains a sampling of readings that would be valid according to Métail's system.
Pinyin is provided in the sidebar.

In an April 30 statement to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee, U.S. Ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament Robert Wood highlighted the real-world proliferation challenges that threaten our collective security. He stressed that the international pressure campaign on North Korea must and will continue until we see complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization; reiterated the U.S. commitment to denying Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon and holding it accountable for its destabilizing activities; and called on Syria to cooperate with the IAEA without delay. Ambassador Wood confirmed that the United States remains committed to efforts to strengthen and uphold the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
