'12 Years A Slave'

Was A Film That 'No One Was Making'

Solomon Northup (...)

had been a free black man in upstate New York.

A husband and father, he was a literate, working man,

who also made money as a fiddler.

But in 1841, after being lured to Washington, D.C.,

with the promise of several days' work fiddling

with the circus, he was kidnapped into slavery.

Over the next 12 years before finally winning his freedom,

he became the property of a series

of different plantation owners

— one who was especially cruel and brutal.

Company Accused of Firing

Over Facebook Post

November 8, 2010

The New York Times

By STEVEN GREENHOUSE

In what labor officials and lawyers view

as a ground-breaking case involving workers

and social media,

the National Labor Relations Board has accused a company

of illegally firing an employee

after she criticized her supervisor on her Facebook page.

This is the first case in which the labor board

has stepped in to argue that workers’

criticisms of their bosses

or companies on a social networking site

are generally a protected activity

and that employers would be violating the law

by punishing workers for such statements.

Iran Signals Revenge

Over Killing of Scientist

January 12, 2012
The New York Times
By RICK GLADSTONE

Iran expressed deepening fury at Israel and the United States on Thursday over the drive-by bombing that killed a nuclear scientist in Tehran the day before, and signaled that its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps might carry out revenge assassinations.

News of the scientist’s killing dominated Iran’s state-run news media, which were filled with vitriolic denunciations both of Israel, seen in Iran as the main suspect in his death, and the United States, where top officials have gone out of their way to issue strongly worded denials of responsibility.

Israeli officials, who regard Iran as their country’s main enemy, have not categorically denied any Israeli role in the killing, which came against a backdrop of growing pressure on Iran over its disputed nuclear program. Western nations suspect that Iran is working toward building a nuclear weapon, despite Iran’s repeated assertions that its program is peaceful.

Iran’s official government reaction to the scientist’s killing on Wednesday was more restrained, saying that Iran would not be dissuaded from its right to peaceful nuclear energy and demanding that the United Nations Security Council investigate and condemn the attack. The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee, said in a letter to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that the killing was part of a campaign of terrorist acts against Iran committed by “certain foreign quarters,” an oblique reference to Israel and the United States.

A much stronger call for retribution came Thursday from one Iranian newspaper in particular, Kayhan, a mouthpiece for the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and for the Revolutionary Guards.

“We should retaliate against Israel for martyring of our young scientist,” Kayhan’s general director, Hossein Shariatmadari, who was appointed by the ayatollah, said in an editorial. Referring to the Israelis, he wrote, “These corrupted people are easily identifiable and readily within our reach.”

The Kayhan editorial, as translated by Agence France-Presse and other Western news services, also said, “The Islamic republic has gathered much experience in 32 years, thus assassinations of Israeli officials and military members are achievable.”

Another hard-line newspaper, Resalat, said, “The only way to finish with the enemy’s futile actions is retaliation for the assassination of Iran’s scientist.”

Ayatollah Khamenei added his voice to the condemnations from Iran, posting a condolence message on his Web site that accused the American and Israeli intelligence services of orchestrating the “cowardly murder” of the scientist, who is to be buried on Friday. “Punish the perpetrators of these crimes,” he wrote.

The scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, 32, was deputy director of the Natanz uranium enrichment plant. He was killed on his way to work in rush-hour traffic in Tehran on Wednesday morning. Iranian news accounts said that a motorcyclist slapped a magnetized bomb on his car, killing Mr. Roshan and mortally wounding his driver and bodyguard, identified as Reza Qashaqei.

Mr. Roshan was at least the fifth Iranian scientist with nuclear connections to be killed since 2007.

Kayhan’s account of Mr. Roshan’s death quoted his mother, Sediqeh Salari, as saying: “They assassinated my son to remind us how much they hate our guts, to show their hostility. These are Iran’s sworn enemies.”

The scientists’ deaths are part of what current and former American officials and specialists on Iran have called an accelerating covert campaign of assassinations, bombings, defections and digital attacks, which they believe has been carried out mainly by Israel in an effort to subvert Iran’s nuclear program.

Artin Afkhami contributed reporting.

Correction: January 13, 2012

An article on Thursday about covert actions to set back Iran’s nuclear program misstated, in some editions, the title of an Iranian nuclear scientist who was killed in a car bombing on Wednesday in Tehran. The scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, was deputy director — not director — of commercial affairs at the Natanz uranium enrichment site.

New York Is Removing Over 400 Children

From 2 Homeless Shelters

FEB. 21, 2014
The New York Times
By ANDREA ELLIOTT
and REBECCA R. RUIZ

In the face of New York’s mounting homeless crisis, Mayor Bill de Blasio will announce on Friday that his administration is removing hundreds of children from two city-owned homeless shelters that inspectors have repeatedly cited for deplorable conditions over the last decade, officials said.

The city has begun transferring over 400 children and their families out of the Auburn Family Residence in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and from the Catherine Street shelter in Lower Manhattan, while vowing to improve services for the swelling population of 22,000 homeless children, Mr. de Blasio and other officials said in interviews this week.

The administration is trying to find either subsidized permanent housing or suitable temporary shelter for the families and will be converting the Auburn and Catherine Street facilities into adult family shelters, the officials said.

State and city inspectors have cited Auburn for over 400 violations — many of them repeated — for a range of hazards, including vermin, mold, lead exposure, an inoperable fire safety system, insufficient child care and the presence of sexual predators, among them, a caseworker.

“We just weren’t going to allow this to happen on our watch,” the mayor said.

The conditions at Auburn, which were detailed in a recent series in The New York Times, prompted the City Council to schedule hearings next week on family shelters. Records and interviews show that similar lapses have dogged Catherine Street, which, like Auburn, is an aging residence with communal bathrooms that children share with strangers. Families live in rooms without kitchens or running water, preventing them from cooking their own meals or washing baby bottles.

Since 2006, the state agency responsible for overseeing homeless shelters has routinely ordered the city to remove all infants and toddlers from Catherine Street, citing at least 150 violations in that time.

That agency, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, could have sanctioned Auburn and Catherine Street by withholding state funding, but chose not to because that “would have meant defunding services that help tens of thousands of New Yorkers in need at a time when New York City had the highest number of homeless residents in its history,” the office’s commissioner, Kristin M. Proud, said in an email.

In the fall, a resident at Catherine Street took five children and two caseworkers hostage, barricading them in a room on the second floor, according to police records. In August 2012, a group of teenage boys took “over the building,” threatening children in bathrooms and assaulting others on the street, according to state records.

“This is no place for kids,” said Dawn Hazel, 38, a single mother studying to be a nurse who has lived at Catherine Street with her five children for just over a year.

Ms. Hazel said her youngest son, now 6, was cornered in the men’s bathroom last year by a group of residents who exposed themselves to him. A security guard was present during the encounter but did not intervene, said Ms. Hazel, who filed a complaint at the shelter.

While security has more than doubled at Auburn in recent weeks, with security guards stationed outside every bathroom, Catherine Street’s transition will take longer, officials said. The city’s Department of Homeless Services will first move families out of Auburn. Forty-two families have already left, mostly to other shelters, and another 64 will move by late June to allow for minimal disruption of school, officials said.

As Auburn’s families depart, security guards from that shelter will be transferred to Catherine Street, where 211 children currently reside, a spokeswoman for the department said. Since January, a dozen families have been placed in other shelters or in permanent housing, and the rest will be moved by the fall, officials said.

The transition plan for both shelters will cost the city more than $13 million, between allocations for enhanced security and upgrades to both facilities, which will feature closed-circuit security cameras, renovated bathrooms and refurbished rooms.

In a somewhat surreal twist, the city is exploring a plan to convert part of Auburn’s ground floor — the site of a cafeteria notorious for its mice and rancid food — into a “culinary arts” training program for adult residents. In the meantime, the city has added six more microwaves to the cafeteria, where people used to wait in lines to heat food that was sometimes served cold.

Both Auburn and Catherine Street were converted into family shelters in 1985 and, in the intervening decades, have remained a thorn in the side of homeless advocates.

“Until today, no mayor was willing to say no children should be treated this way, and that’s a historic breakthrough,” said Steven Banks, the attorney in chief at the Legal Aid Society, which has battled the city in court over shelter conditions.

Yet only a small fraction of the city’s homeless children live at Auburn and Catherine Street. Its temporary housing system includes 151 family facilities of varying quality, and it remains to be seen whether the administration will address complaints about conditions at other shelters.

Advocates for the homeless have pressed Mr. de Blasio to reinstate several policies that ended under Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. From 1990 until 2005, the city placed more than 53,000 homeless families in permanent housing by giving them priority referrals to federal subsidy programs, according to an analysis of city data by Patrick Markee of the Coalition for the Homeless.

The Bloomberg administration canceled that policy and in its place created a short-term rent subsidy program that ended in 2011 when the state withdrew its portion of the funding. By the time Mr. Bloomberg left office at the end of last year, the homeless population had peaked at more than 52,000 — the highest number on record since the Great Depression.

That tally reflects only the shelter population, which fluctuates daily and does not include families that live doubled up with friends or relatives. According to data compiled by the State Education Department, more than 80,000 school-age children in the city were identified as homeless during the last academic year.

“There are major American cities that have the same population as we have people in shelter,” Mr. de Blasio said. “We have to look this in the face. This is literally an unacceptable dynamic, and we have to reverse it.”

In interviews, Mr. de Blasio, his deputy mayor for health and human services, Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, and the newly appointed homeless services commissioner, Gilbert Taylor, laid out the broad outlines of a still-evolving plan to address homelessness.

They will focus on prevention efforts, and said the administration was committed to renewing a version of the former rent subsidy program, which will require money from the state. A spokesman for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said the proposal was under discussion.

The de Blasio administration is also exploring a plan to enhance anti-eviction legal services for families, and an “aftercare” support program intended to prevent newly housed families from becoming homeless again.

The city is less likely to depend on federal housing programs as a solution because of the dwindling supply, Mr. de Blasio said. “It will be a tool we use as needed, but I think the central thrust has to be getting at the root causes,” he said. “Greater supply of affordable housing. Pushing up wages and benefits. More preventative efforts.”

The subject of the series in The Times, Dasani Coates, 12, spent three years at Auburn, sharing one room with her parents and seven siblings before the family was transferred to a shelter in Harlem, where they have remained since October. The Department of Homeless Services is trying to place the family in one of the city’s few supportive housing programs, which provide affordable apartments with on-site services for vulnerable families.

“It takes all of this for something to happen?” Dasani’s mother, Chanel, said in response to the announced changes at Auburn, and the city’s recent effort to house her family. “Why was it so hard to do this three years ago?”
