Gov. Doyle: Statement on London Terrorist Attacks
7/7/2005
Contact: Ethnie Groves, Office of the Governor, 608-261-2156
Governor Jim Doyle today released the following statement regarding the recent terrorist attacks on London:
"Like millions of people around the world, I am both saddened and outraged by today's attacks on the innocent people of London. On behalf of the people of Wisconsin, I express my deepest condolences to the victims, as well as to their family and friends, and all of London.
"These are acts of cowardice and terror. This was not only an attack on the people of Great Britain, but on democracy, human rights, tolerance, and equality worldwide.
"I assure the citizens of Wisconsin that homeland security plans have been in place and are continually updated. And although it's important to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to proper authorities, I urge all Wisconsin residents to continue going about their daily lives and activities."

| American Taboo: A Peace Corps Tragedy Returned Volunteers met with author Philip Weiss in Baltimore on June 18 to discuss the murder of Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner. Weiss was a member of a panel that included three psychiatrists and a criminal attorney. Meanwhile, the Seattle U.S. Attorney's office announced that Dennis Priven cannot be retried for the murder. "We do not believe this case can be prosecuted by anyone, not only us, but in any other jurisdiction in the United States." Read background on the case here. |
| June 14: Peace Corps suspends Haiti program After Uzbekistan, the Peace Corps has announced the suspension of a second program this month - this time in Haiti. Background: The suspension comes after a US Embassy warning, a request from Tom Lantos' office, and the program suspension last year. For the record: PCOL supports Peace Corps' decision to suspend the two programs and commends the agency for the efficient way PCVs were evacuated safely. Our only concern now is with the placement of evacuated PCVs and the support they receive after interrupted service. |
| Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong 170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community. |

Gregorian calendar.- The solar calendar now in general use, introduced
by Gregory XIII in 1582 to correct an error in the Julian calendar by
suppressing 10 days, making Oct 5 be called Oct 15,and providing that
only centenary years divisible by 400 should be leap years; it was
adopted by Great Britain and the American colonies in 1752.
