Subject: The year is 1907The year is 1907, one hundred years ago……READ PRINT UNDER PICTURETheodore Roosevelt’s ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here…. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Best Freeware Utilities: Again, this post is slightly off topic since I’m on vacation, but I wanted to point out a source for good freeware utilities for Windows.

Chinese Cyberwar Alert!:The Air Force has been tracking aggressive cyber incursions by computer technicians in China, primarily focused toward gathering information on military network infrastructure and American trade secrets, the Air Force’s cyber warfare commander said this week. “China has put a lot of resources into this business,” said Lt. Gen. Robert Elder, commander of Air Force Cyberspace Command. “China, at this point, is not interested so much in attack as they are in using the Internet to pull [industrial] data.”… A recently-released Pentagon report on Chinese military development said Beijing is crafting an aggressive computer network operations strategy that the People’s Liberation Army “sees as critical to achieving ‘electromagnetic dominance’ early in a conflict.” While his newly-established command is focused primarily on the defense of military information networks, communications nodes and command and control systems by “peer competitors” such as China, Russia and Iran, Elder told reporters during a June 13 breakfast meeting in Washington his cyber warriors don’t see much of a threat from terrorist-initiated attacks.
