1961 Anti-Castro Cubans Invade
Anti-Castro Cubans launched a full scale invasion of their homeland today [April 17]. Landings by both air and sea were reported on at least three parts of the island. Prime Minister Fidel Castro declared a national state of emergency and took personal command of Cuban defense forces. Monitored radio broadcasts heard in the United States indicated that the invaders had penetrated to within 100 miles of Havana. First indications were that casualties were heavy. Rebel troops swarmed ashore shortly after midnight in the swampy area around the Bahia de Cochinos (the Bay of Pigs) in southern Las Villas Province. Two other landings — at Baracoa in Oriente province, and at Cabanas, in Pinar del RioFind brand shoes to trade Province — also were reported. It was unknown how many rebel troops participated in the attacks, although one anti-Castro source said it involved “several thousand” men. Mr. Castro acknowledged the invasion of Las Villas Province. He made no mention of the other two points at which the rebels said they landed.
The younger generation of the party must "change without hesitation ...but without abandoning the revolutionary principles because there is no room for mistakes," Castro was quoted by state media outlets as saying.
The call was made when the ongoing Fivefingers Kso-Vibram fivefingers Kso CCP Sixth Congress Monday added final revisions to a host of economic reform proposals made by Fidel's brother and Cuba's current leader Raul Castro, who pressed reforms in his opening address to the congress on Saturday.
Fidel, 84, absent at all the sessions Fivefingers Kso-Vibram fivefingers Kso of the congress, called his brother's speech "important" and said he has been closely following the congress since the beginning.

Yemeni rights groups say his crackdown on protests has killed more than 120 people.
Tension has been running high in Yemen's southern provinces, especially in the country's economic center Aden, nike mens sandalsas the situation is further aggravated recently by active separatist Southern Movement and youth activists that call for civil disobedience two days or three days every week.
Most political groups in Aden these days are filled with heated debates about whether a disobedience state or refusing to obey the law can help in increasing pressure on the Yemeni government to reform, or just help in falling the province into the hands of the Southern Movement.
"The widespread of violence and vandalism acts has been witnessed these days in Aden, which is a warning sign that the province is falling into danger," said Khaled Ahmed Bawazir, an associate professor of Political Science of Aden University.
Anti-government protest organizer in nike mens sandalsAden Jamal Haidra said the Southern Movement has taken advantage of the destabilization in Aden province to gain a foothold.
"While we call for change in peaceful protests without destruction, the Southern Movement gunmen are wandering the streets and lanes of Aden and setting up checkpoints at the city's entrances, which distort our peaceful demands," said Jamal.
"The alarming presence of the separatists in Aden and their disobedience calls are frightening the locals, especially children and have negatively affected the people's normal lives and activities," he said.
During last several weeks, Aden witnessed nike mens sandalsarson and looting actions in a number of hotels and police stations, leaving the once-thriving city's ground full of barricades, burnt tires, branches and broken glass.
"We continuously see some armed separatists or radical anti- government protesters turn to attack and set fire at the police stations, hotels and other public places," said Ahmed Hadi, a police officer, "they force others to close stores and pour their anger out on the public and private properties, their behaviors make a lot of bad impacts in inciting violence and sabotage."
Michele Dufault, a senior majoring in physics and astronomy, was found at Yale’s Sterling Chemistry Laboratory by nike cheap mens acg sandals other students who had also been working in the building. They called police, who responded immediately, Yale president Richard C. Levin said in a statement.
New Haven police said they responded to the call around 2:30 yesterday morning.
Dufault was working on a project using a machine used to shape metal or wood by spinning it at very high speeds, Levin’s statement said. The statement did not say whether Dufault was working alone in the lab or whether she died there or later at a hospital. Yale police and New Haven police are investigating.
Levin and other Yale officials met with her parents yesterday.
“I have met with the family of Michele Dufault to extend our deepest sympathy and to offer all the assistance we can possibly provide at their most difficult time of grief,’’ Levin said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to Michele’s family and friends.’’
The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration launched an investigation after the death into whether safety standards were followed at Yale, said OSHA spokesman Ted Fitzgerald.
“We need to determine what safety standards will apply and whether the employer complied with those standards,’’ he said.
Levin said that student safety is Yale’s primary concern and that students are trained before they use power equipment.
Nevertheless, he said, he ordered a thorough review of Yale’s safety policies and practices in laboratories, machine shops, and other facilities with power equipment used by students.
Until the review is completed, Levin said, nike cheap mens acg sandalsthe university will limit undergraduate access to facilities with power equipment and will require monitors in the laboratories at all times.
Yesterday, after Dufault’s death, Yale shuttered the Sterling Chemistry Laboratory and canceled all classes and labs.
University officials also encouraged students to reach out to deans, chaplains, and the mental health and counseling services to help them cope.
“This is a true tragedy,’’ Levin said.
Dufault, a graduate of Noble & Greenough private high school in Dedham, was known as an exceptional science student at Yale and a young woman with a brilliant mind.
She had planned on pursuing oceanography after graduation and spent last summer working with scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
She played saxophone in the Yale Band and was widely admired in Yale’s Saybrook College, where she resided, Levin said.
“She was the nicest girl you can meet — and she was brilliant,’’ said her cousin, Jason Dufault of Holliston. “She was taken too soon.’’
He said the two were close and often saw each other during family gatherings.
She was the youngest of two girls, he said.
“Every time I spoke with her, especially as she got ready for Yale, I just left every conversation knowing how smart she was,’’ Dufault said.
Edmund Bertschinger, who heads the physics department at MIT, said he met Michele Dufault last year at the Northeast Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics.
Dufault had served on the organizing committee and had been working diligently to prepare women for research careers in the field.
“She was the heart and soul of the Yale student organization,’’ said Bertschinger, who said MIT students were looking forward to working with her to host another conference there this year.
At Noble & Greenough, Robert P. Henderson Jr., nike cheap mens acg sandalsthe head of school, called Dufault precocious and simply brilliant. He hailed her sense of curiosity, humility, and drive.
“She was a true intellectual,’’ Henderson said about the 2007 graduate.
“She was also distinctly humble, seemingly unaffected by her prodigious talent and academic attainments.’’
Her death has also stunned Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where she worked closely with scientists who design and operate robotics vehicles to make scientific measurements in the ocean, said Jim Yoder, dean of academic programs there.
“The WHOI community is deeply saddened by the loss of such an intelligent young woman with such high potential,’’ Yoder said in a statement.
Yale will hold a memorial service later in the semester to honor Dufault.
"I've been to 25 states over the past year Reebok ZigTech... and have gotten a lot of great feedback and a lot of encouragement," Santorum said on FOX News Channel's "On The Record with Greta Van Susteren" Wednesday night.
Santorum, 52, served two terms as a Pennsylvania senator before he was defeated in 2006 by Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. Prior to serving in the Senate, Santorum was a member of the House of Representatives from 1991-1995.
He reportedly made a little under $100,000 a year at FOX News Channel as an on-air contributor under a three-year contract set to expire in 2013. However, the network suspended the contract last month, citing a conflict of interest as he publicly mulled a presidential run.
Santorum joins former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty as the third viable Republican candidate to form a presidential exploratory committee.
Still, Santorum -- a social conservativeReebok ZigTech who hopes to makes inroads with evangelicals in the leadoff state of Iowa -- is a dark horse candidate for the nomination, trailing better-known potential candidates such as Romney, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former House Speake Newt Gingrich in the polls.
According to the Real Clear Politics average of recent national polls, Santorum currently registers 2.2 percent support nationwide.
Exploratory committees or "testing the waters" committees allow candidates to formally raise money without having to file campaign contribution reports with the Federal Election Commission.
By testing the waters, a candidate can get a sense of his or her ability to raise enough to conduct polls, travel in various early primary states and set up local organizations and phone banks.
All of these things can be done without registering contributions, provided that candidates do not explicitly refer to themselves as a candidate or raise more than what is "reasonably needed" to test the waters.
In recent years, the formation of an Reebok ZigTechexploratory committee has become the preferred stepping stone toward the announcement of a full-blown candidacy.
