14-story high-rise proposed for East Huron Street would cause too much damage to historic districts
The proposal for a 14-story student high-rise at 413 E. Huron St. downtown has had overwhelming public opposition. It is a 14-story massive black box built right to the zoning boundaries and imposing itself on residents of Sloan Plaza and three low-scale residential historic districts. The proposal had almost universal opposition at the first public input session, and had dozens of speakers in opposition at the first hearing by the planning commission, and even more during four hours of public input and deliberation at the Feb. 5 planning commission meeting.
Humphreys & Partners Architects
This opposition is not simply local neighbors expressing NIMBYism (Not In My BackYard). Continuing opposition has been voiced by representatives of eight downtown or near-downtown associations, including the Old Fourth Ward Historic District, the North Burns Park Association, the Old West Side Association, the Downtown Area Citizens Advisory Committee, the North Main Property Owners Association, the Oxbridge Neighborhood Association, the South University Neighborhood Association, and the Germantown Neighborhood Association.
Opposition to this "student warehouse" also has come from citizens, committee members of the A2D2 Committee, and professionals in the fields of architecture, city planning, and landscape architecture. Members of the city's Design Review Board questioned its massive scale, which is 100,000 square feet larger than The Varsity project now under construction across the street. Even the city's Historic District Commission and the Michigan Historic Preservation Network testified that this project will cause irreparable damage to the character of the city's oldest historic districts.
The city's summary of the comments made by the Design Review Board was revealing: "In conclusion, the design as presented does not meet the intent of the design guidelines in responding to the context of the site, responding to a unique corner opportunity, respecting adjacent properties, or enhancing the pedestrian experience."
While some in this city say there is nothing we can do, the fact is the city CAN do something if it takes action. Council must recognize that D1 zoning for the downtown district north of Huron Street is not in conformance with the city's master plan, its Downtown Plan, its Central Area Plan, its Design Guidelines, and its Historic District guidelines.
The city has the legal power to change the zoning in two key blocks along Huron Street from D1 to the less dense D2, the category originally proposed in a 2007 planning document. This is legally possible, and necessary, because according to Michigan law the zoning ordinance as applied to this area is not in compliance with the city's planning documents. A change in zoning could be instituted by city council at this time, since the developer for 413 E. Huron St. currently has no vested rights in the project; legally their work and costs thus far would be considered speculative on their part. Such a change in zoning would not stop development on these parcels, it would only bring any developments into conformance with the city's planning documents.
If this development at 413 E. Huron St., which goes against all of the city's relevant plans and guidelines regarding scale and residential interface and ignores overwhelming community opposition, is approved by council, then it must bring into legal question the purpose of the city's planning process. We are not opposed to development on this site, but hope for a development that is in keeping with guidelines previously established after much community input.
This is not a "by right" project as argued by the developer, it is a "by wrong" project. It is the wrong building, the wrong location, the wrong developer, and the wrong zoning. A devastating precedent would be set, allowing other developers to snub their noses at the city's planning process, and would be devastating to the downtown. The proposed massive black box currently proposed to be built at the corner of Division and Huron would haunt the city for decades to come.

@ johhnya2, I had to chuckle while reading your post. And you're so right. I think back on just the things that I've seen. Just look at the DeBoer debacle. A large number of Ann Arbor's citizens sanctioned an act that was basically the kidnapping of a child from another state. And when all was said and done, we found out that the husband, Jan Deboer, lied on his adoption application: he had a criminal record that included domestic abuse. And now many of these same people are against student housing? This city never learns.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 7:36 p.m.
I drove through the neighborhood and saw so many houses with multiple mailboxes and fire escapes going up to the attic. Are the folks in overwhelming opposition the landlords that own these historic gems?

Tom, Your reasoning seems a bit "off" to me. I'm not sure whether your house is east or west of the proposed student housing buildings, but I'm pretty sure that the sun will continue to rise in the east, and set in the west, giving you at least a half-day, every day, of sunshine on your house. And you're inside the house for most of the day, are you not? One wonders why your house needs to be exposed to the sun so much. As a proponent of the status quo, I'm sure you'd be against extensive solar panels, and your home certainly doesn't need a sun tan. You seem to enjoy making yourself out to be an "old urbanist" champion of the people. It's odd then, that you would oppose this project. More student housing = more homes that can be converted to your "old urbanist" theme. And conversely, If this "old urbanist" (a.k.a. get closer to the city) movement is something you champion, shouldn't students also be able to take advantage of it? That would seem to mean more people would be added to your cause. And adding younger "old urbanists" means adding diversity to your cause. Unless ...you're really nothing more than a champion of your own interests.

It is a lovely house. I have admired it and many others in my hometown for the nearly five decades I have lived here. I raise a glass of Dom and toast the folks with the funds and determination to take on such projects. Unfortunately, it seems it is a little late to change the zoning on the East Huron property. Personally, I welcome change and have seen plenty of it. Some good, some bad. There used to be a beautiful Masonic Temple where the oh so dated Federal Building stands today. My guess is the Federal Building will be replaced by something else someday. The Z-Brick monstrosity that is 1 North Main replaced my favorite music venue ever and will someday face the wrecking ball of this I am sure. If the current zoning is not acceptable to a group of people they should run a candidate or two or just put the thumb screws to the current batch, though it seems these folks are the ones that put current zoning in place. PS. My southern exposure blows. If there is a candlelit vigil, light one for the home team!

Try getting out of your car and walking up North Division, starting at Huron. Take special note of the house on the southeast corner of Ann and Division which is not only in a local historic district, but is on the National Register of Historic Places. Note the fresh paint, window restorations and custom storm windows. Notice the single mailbox, because like many houses in the neighborhoods around downtown, these owners made a conscious choice to move close to downtown, restore an old house, and enjoy what I like to call the "old urbanist" lifestyle. The City has done nothing to encourage those who have made this effort. In fact, the City has done the opposite at every opportunity. Now imagine this lovingly restored house in complete shadow for most of the day, every day, throughout the winter. It will be if the proposed project were built. What if this were your house? Would you just smile and thank the City for increasing the density of downtown or would you fight for balance and fairness?

Ann Arbor is a palimsest with respect to property rights, expectations and enforcement. Despite what was recommended by A2D2 committees and staff, the areas north of Huron received a special D1 designation in 2009. Various authorities that might apply make no mention of such a designation. At the time of passage, Council and the Planning Commission required a review "in a year." Historic Districts are covered at Chapter 103 of the City Code while zoning is at Chapter 55. Various provisions such as land use at Chapter 57 require the two to be evaluated with some equality. Michigan and thirty other states have adopted "bright line rules" saying a that permit begins a landowner's vested interest in a project. Now that we know that we might re-examine the issues, the better question is what do we want? For my part, knowing that there are few buildable sites downtown, I would like to see evidence of planning and integration.

Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 5:20 p.m.
I agree heartily with Norman Tyler. Once again out of state developers, who care nothing about the character of our city, want to put up a huge student warehouse. All they care about is how much money they can make. A student development on S. University was flipped to another owner before it was even completed. Greed is what this is all about. Please let's stop and take a careful look at our zoning guidelines before it is too late to turn back.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 5:16 p.m.
If these buildings are truly meeting the need for student housing then I guess we should count our blessings that the UM isn't the one buying the land and erecting these structures. At least the private developers have to pay taxes.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 5:08 p.m.
I don't live anywhere near the site, but I think that building is absurd. We do NOT need MORE student high rises downtown! And the size if it is just ridiculous. It would be a major eyesore.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 5:01 p.m.
We need to get rid of all the zoning in AA. Just zone it all with question mark, then tell developers to submit their plans for the project. Next, we need to hold an election twice a year to let all residents vote on the projects. LOL... If I was the developer of this project I would head to court the day after the council passes the moratorium. The leaders of this city have no honor, what-so-ever. We make rules and then rescind them at the drop of a hat. I am amazed that anyone would want to invest in this city.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 7:32 p.m.

The fact that the six month moratorium on development the council proposed has been set aside after getting legal opinions does not bode well for Mr. Tyler's assertion that the city could legally stop this development.

When I saw the headline, I imagined someone building a 14-story building in the middle of Burns Park or the Old West Side. We're talking Huron four blocks east of Main? Are you kidding me? It's the perfect place for the type of high-density building we need so that there's incentive to renovate and improve the student housing rentals. People complain about sprawl, which is sometimes an inevitable and positive sign of growth. Now, here's a project that will actually do something that will reduce the need to sprawl, and there's "overwhelming opposition?" This really is just NIMBY. The writer lives on this block. I appreciate his willingness to go out there with his real name and voice his opinion, and I feel for someone basically having a 14-story building go up in his back yard, but this is just yards from North Quad, and having lived right here myself when I was a student (I lived in a student apartment near the corner of Thayer and Ann because it was so close to many of my classes) it seems like an appropriate use of the space. If this fits the zoning, I think the city would be irresponsible to try and block development. Focus instead on how the plan addresses the need for those residents who have cars to find space to park - the planning process includes a thorough review. Be tough on the developer, but fair and positive.

Ross, from above: "The city screwed up here, but the rest of Ann Arbor's taxpayer's certainly don't want to foot a multi-million dollar lawsuit payment. This will be interesting to observe going forward." I would much rather pay for a lawsuit to save a treasured neighborhood than to fund unending Hieftje art and train folly.

I, too, would rather pay for a lawsuit if it will preserve the character of our city.
Boo Radley
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 4:53 p.m.
But if the lawsuit ultimately is resolved in favor of the developer, nothing has been saved, and a lot of money has been spent (on both sides).
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 4:10 p.m.
Is this "overwhelming community opposition" quantified anywhere? Or is that just something you are saying for impact. Please refrain from unfounded qualifiers.
Chip Reed
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 4:03 p.m.
Not to be too picky, but if opposition is truly "overwhelming", why hasn't the developer been overwhelmed and withdrawn his plan that offends your robust sensibilities?
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 3:59 p.m.
I think it looks much better than the dumpy buildings we have had there for the last couple of decades. Urban progress. Ann Arbor is not a farm town anymore. This building will enhance prop values in the area and takes the place of nothing historic or of value. I don't see the problem.
Sat, Feb 23, 2013 : 3:15 p.m.
The real problem will come in the student ghetto.The more student warehouses that are built the less students will live in the current student areas.These former "student ghetto "landlords will be leasing their properties to whoever they can.Watch and see what happens .

Pittsfield had the same dust-up when Walmart went in at Michigan/State. The zoning was clear and the residents who'd moved in did not get involved until Walmart bought the site. After months of yelling the Walmart went in. I would have preferred to not have a Wally-world there, but the world didn't end despite some of the protesters' claims.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 3:31 p.m.
I'm not sure why the claim is being made that the D1 zoning is not in conformance with the current Master Plan and Downtown Plan. I reviewed both at the website and find that the proposed Downtown plan as amended and as adopted showed the D1 area extending to Division and E. Huron. Maybe I'm missing something but the plan and the subsequent zoning seem to conform. Perhaps the plan, as amended, didn't meet with some of the information that was considered in establishing the original plan but I don't know that a plan has to be founded on unanimity of opinion. See pg 55 at: http://www.a2gov.org/government/communityservices/planninganddevelopment/planning/Documents/MasterPlans/DowntownPlan_May09_Final.pdf The fact that the City issued recommended (but not mandatory) design guidelines that advise developers to better integrate their designs into the surrounding community including those with variations in height shows the City expected these kinds of interface issue and chose to approve the plan and ordinance anyway. The problem here is that the law is in place. Now, the city wants to suspend the law and suspend approvals for conforming projects on private property it is otherwise bound to issue. In effect it is saying you meet our current laws but we don't like your particular proposal so you'll have to wait until we can come up with a way to change the law that contradicts the plan we approved in 2009 and that will prohibit you from doing what you would otherwise be able to do because we didn't really think this thing would happen. This is now a bigger issue of property rights and the City risks losing a big lawsuit. I can sympathize with you. Maybe the D1 line approved in 2009 wasn't the best decision, but it isn't necessarily the worst decision either. That's what elected officials do and your options are at the ballot box.

The zoning map is a separate, one page document contained within a large and detailed plan. In this case, the map may have been changed at the last minute to show D1 on the north side of E. Huron, but there is no text in the plan to support it. Zoning must be based on a master plan per State law. As long as we're looking at maps, take a look at the map in the report of the zoning advisory committee that was approved by council in October 2007: http://www.a2gov.org/a2d2/Documents/2007-10-15_ZoningRecommendations.pdf The map was only changed for political reasons by planning commission and council members who were sympathetic to property owners demanding the highest and densest use for their property and nothing less. The zoning map should have been determined by what was in the community's best interests as supported by substantial and material evidence--not the ideologies of politicians or the financial ambitions of a few select property owners. It is perfectly within the City's legal authority to correct deficiencies in its zoning--especially when the zoning is not consistent with the master plan. The City has a duty to protect ALL property owners, not just developers. It must act when its own zoning deficiencies could result in permanent harm to property owners impacted by developments based on those deficiencies. There is plenty of recent Michigan legal precedent to support the City in this matter.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 3:26 p.m.
I am sure that City Council intended to restrict D1 zoning to the "south" side of Huron Street since the north side borders neighborhood development. Similarly, the D1 boundary on William Street should involve only the north side for the same reason. City Council should acknowledge this mistake or error and act to correct it. The city should consider purchasing the property from the present developer at market rate if the cost will be less than that from a lawsuit.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 2:20 p.m.
" has had overwhelming public opposition." - Nobody comes to meetings to speak in FAVOR of any project other than the developer. In fact, it is the negative people who are always the most vocal and loudest. The silent majority hopes the project continues, while those that see the world as falling will scream and scream. I also love how people like you decide what OTHERS should be able to do with their property because YOU deem it a "student warehouse". I wonder if I drive by your home and say I do not like the color, if I should be able to tell you to change it because it "offends" my sensibilities and taste. Maybe if I go to the mall and see somebody wearing yoga pants and crocs I should have htem removed a s an annoyance as well. And if you driver a gas guzzling car I should be able to slit your tires in the name of saving fuel. The zoning on this is clear. Changing rules midstream is like saying well the game is 60 minutes, but because we do not like the outcome, we will make this one 65 minutes. The developer followed the LETTER OF THE LAW. If they want to change the law for future development, that is fine, but otherwise., get over it.

Mr Tyler, a well articulated argument. Ultimately the blame for this fiasco should fall upon city council and their approval of D-1 zoning for this site. They (and you, frankly) have known for years that this zoning was in place, allowing such a monstrosity of a building to be proposed. To strip the zoning back to D2 now would seem unfair to the developers, but perhaps the right decision for the parcel in question given its proximity to your beautiful, historic home, among others. The real issue is now whether such an 11th hour change would in fact expose the city to possible immense legal liability form the developer. The city screwed up here, but the rest of Ann Arbor's taxpayer's certainly don't want to foot a multi-million dollar lawsuit payment. This will be interesting to observe going forward.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 2:12 p.m.
Nicely put comment.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 1:38 p.m.
Not fair to us taxpayers who do not want to fund defense when a lawsuit comes. The city let the former owner of this property sell it for millions. Of course the buyer will expect things to go as planned with the zoning being the reason they bought the property for millions in the first place. Really ridiculous that the zoning issue seemed to fall on deaf or uninterested council ears in the past, and NOW they are listening to the public after the fact.
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 : 1:30 p.m.

This is legally possible, and necessary, because according to Michigan law the zoning ordinance as applied to this area is not in compliance with the city's planning documents." I hope this is true. I also hope that planning documents beyond 2007 do not approve greater density for this area, offering contradiction that might be viewed as favorable to the developer's claim of by-right development.

COE: Butler's Gift, Service 'Revolutionary'by Steve Charles • August 19, 2012 Share:
The theologian Frederick Buechner defined vocation as the place where one's "greatest joy meets the world's greatest need." The same could be said of Professor of Political Science Melissa Butler's service to Wabash and her gift to the Challenge of Excellence.
One of the pioneering women on the Wabash faculty and the first to earn tenure, Professor Butler is a strong mentor to current faculty members and one of the College's most adventurous and innovative teachers. Her gift to the COE will continue to support these passions—faculty development and international travel—long after her retirement in 2013.
"I want other faculty members to have the opportunities I've had," says Professor Butler, who has traveled around the world (including Antarctica), taught in England and China, and led Wabash students on immersion experiences in Europe and Latin America.
Butler's personal mentoring and the value of the faculty development funds she supports converge in the career of Byron K. Trippet Professor of Political Science Lexi Hoerl.
"I have never seen anyone as gifted with working with freshman college students as Melissa," says Professor Hoerl, who in her rookie year on the Wabash faculty co-taught and co-advised with Butler. "She has basically allowed me to follow along like a baby duck! I have watched her look at department budget things. I have talked with her about all sorts of processes. After faculty meetings my first year she would ask me, 'What did you think of this? What was your impression?'
"She brings this constant spirit of innovation to everything she does, whether it's thinking about our curriculum, or new opportunities that we can provide for our majors."
Hoerl's research on Machiavelli and preparation for last spring's immersion experience in Italy for Wabash students were made possible by faculty development funds. It was a change in direction from the professor's previous research, and Butler supported her all the way.
"Melissa was the one who said, 'You have this funding—go to Italy, put the language plan together, do the research, and do what you need to do to get ready for students on that immersion trip. If you want to commit yourself to this, use it.'
"She gave me confidence to engage in this change of direction and offered suggestions on how to do it."
Hoerl is mindful that this will be her mentor's last year teaching at Wabash.
"I will miss the way she has pushed me to constantly innovate, to constantly challenge myself and not be afraid of those new directions. I don't think I'll ever have her revolutionary personality, but perhaps I'll have my own mini-revolutions."
Asked for one word to describe her mentor and her service and gifts to Wabash, Professor Hoerl offers two.
"First, of course, is 'revolutionary.' The second, 'towering', because it is a towering legacy she will leave behind."

Southern Africa before Colonial Times
John Wright
Perspectives on southern Africa's past in the eras before the establishment of European colonial rule have been heavily shaped by political conflicts rooted in South Africa's history as a society of colonial settlement. The archive of available evidence—archaeological finds, recorded oral materials, and colonial documents—together with the concepts used to give them meaning are themselves products of heavily contested historical processes. Archaeological evidence indicates that Homo sapiens, descended from earlier forms of hominin, was present in southern Africa at least 200,000 years ago, but many members of the South African public reject evolutionary notions of the past.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- A Saudi court on Saturday sentenced a female journalist to 60 lashes after she had been charged with involvement in a TV show in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex.
Rozanna al-Yami, 22, is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment, but there were conflicting accounts about how the court issued its verdict.
Al-Yami, who worked as a coordinator for the program but has denied working on the sex-show episode, told The Associated Press it was her understanding that the judge at the court in the western city of Jiddah dropped the charges against her. They included involvement in the preparation of the show and advertising the segment on the Internet.
But she said he still handed down the lashing sentence "as a deterrence."
"I am too frustrated and upset to appeal the sentence," said al-Yami.
Al-Yami refused to provide contact details for her lawyer to ask about the legal proceedings, including the basis in Islamic law for the punishment and whether the charges were really dropped.
Sulaiman al-Jumeii, the lawyer for the man who appeared in the TV show, said such "physical punishment is not an indication of innocence or a drop of charges."
"If the judge had dropped the charges, then why did he give her the 60 lashes?" he added.
Abdul-Rahman al-Hazza, the spokesman of the Ministry of Culture and Information, told the AP he had no details of the sentencing and could not comment on it.
In the program, which aired in July on the Lebanese LBC satellite channel, the man, Mazen Abdul-Jawad appears to describe an active sex life and shows sex toys that were blurred by the station.
The same court sentenced Abdul-Jawad earlier this month to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes.
Al-Jumeii maintains his client was duped by the TV station and was unaware in many cases he was being recorded.
On Saturday, he told the AP that not trying al-Yami before a court specialized in media matters at the Ministry of Culture and Information was a violation of Saudi law.
"It is a precedent to try a journalist before a summary court for an issue that concerns the nature of his job," he said.
The case has scandalized this ultraconservative country where such public talk about sex is taboo and the sexes are strictly segregated.
The government moved swiftly in the wake of the case, shutting down LBC's two offices in the kingdom and arresting Abdul-Jawad, who works for the national airline.
Three other men who appeared on the show, "Bold Red Line," were also convicted of discussing sex publicly and sentenced to two years imprisonment and 300 lashes each.

One less item on my bucket list
Wick's World
I can add Oahu to Maui, Lanai, and Kauai as the Hawaiian Islands I have visited. I can live happily ever after, or better yet, happily in the hereafter, even if I never see the big island of Hawaii, the privately owned Island of Niihau, or the desert island of Kahoolawe. The eighth island of Molokai interests me due to the fact that it once housed Father Damien and his flock of lepers; I would like to visit it if only for historical purposes. Many interesting books exist about the shameful and ignorant period of this Island's history. It would be well worth your while to read one, especially "The Colony: The Harrowing True Story of the Exiles of Molokai," written by John Tayman.
Although my recent excursion to Hawaii involved crossing off another item on my bucket list before I die, simply visiting Oahu wasn't one of them. Like Molokai, the bucket list item I checked off also had to do with history, some of our country's darkest history. December 7, 1941, went down in infamy as one of America's greatest defeats and certainly its darkest hour. Our Pacific Fleet was caught asleep at the helm on that fateful Sunday morning at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii.
I rode the tour bus from our hotel on a rainy, gloomy Saturday morning over to Pearl Harbor as I was fortunate to get tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial. The memorial itself stands directly over the sunken ship which accounted for almost half of the fatalities on that dreadful day. The boat ride out to the site is limited to 150 passengers — not exactly because of the Memorial's size, but more because of the fact that the site is conducive to taking time for reflection. The names of the dead are etched on the end wall, while in the middle an open area is for peering into the water to see the rusted and barnacle-covered remains of the USS Arizona.
The ride out on the ferry was rather quiet, mostly in response to the tour guide who emphasized the solemnity of the historical site we were about to view. Interestingly, there appeared to be as many Japanese as Americans in attendance. Mostly descendents of our one-time enemy, they viewed the occasion with as much respect as any American.
Previously in the week, all nine of us in our party went on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base and toured the USS Missouri, the battleship where the peace treaty ending WWII was signed with the Japanese.
As I am writing this story, breaking news just reported that at least one gunman or more had shot and wounded and killed several people at the Washington Navy Yard. You may be wondering how this person got onto this highly secure base located in Washington, D.C. Perhaps he was already on base and lived or worked there. But I reflected back to five days previous when seven people in my party, without having to show any form of identification at the gate, were allowed onto the Pearl Harbor Naval Station. Here is how that happened. My brother-in-law is a civilian worker for the military on the island of Kauai. He has an identification card that allows him and all of the passengers in his vehicle access to enter the base; no questions asked. Driving our second vehicle was an old friend of mine from South Dakota who for many years has worked as a civilian for the Navy. Although mostly stationed in San Diego where he maintains his residence, he sometimes travels around to other bases, remodeling and maintaining military annexes and exchanges. He happened to be working at Pearl Harbor while we were on vacation so we took up his offer for a private tour of the base.
He did point out that this open policy had only gone into effect on July 1 of this year. Did today's killer somehow take advantage of that? I plan on calling my friend tonight to see what effect today's events have on the "open base/no ID needed" policy we used just last week.
Watch for my continuing Hawaiian saga in next week's column.

Hell-raising Motley Crue stars Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil have mocked Justin Bieber's "bad boy" antics, insisting his efforts to toughen up his image are lame.
The "Without You" hit makers earned a reputation as rock wildmen with their drink-and-drug fueled antics in the 1980s, and they have given the young "Baby" hit maker some tips if he truly wants to shake off his child star past.
Bieber has been caught up in various legal issues in recent months – he has agreed to undergo anger management therapy following a DUI arrest in Miami, Florida, pleaded no contest to vandalism for throwing eggs at a neighbor's home in California, and is still facing prosecution in Canada over claims he attacked a limousine driver in December.
However, Sixx and Neil have advised Bieber to step up his hell-raising if he really wants a bad boy image.
Sixx tells Q magazine, "Let's give him a little bit of credit. He started with the eggs, which was a little weak – a poor start. Then he got arrested in Miami for drag racing and that was kinda cool – he was under the influence. Then he got arrested in Toronto and turned himself in. So he's getting better, but he has work to do."
Neil adds, "He has to beat someone with a chain, or something. Or get into a fight with a cop. … The next thing he'll get arrested for is toilet-papering a house."

South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint's surprising decision Thursday to leave the Senate four years early to take the top post at the Heritage Foundation marks another major blow for conservative Republicans, raising new questions about the future of the conservative movement in the wake of the GOP's 2012 election losses.
With DeMint's departure, the Senate will lose one of the Republican Party's most influential conservative kingmakers. DeMint was a leading force in the rise of the Tea Party movement, and his supporters credit him with the election of Tea Party and/or Liberty Movement-friendly Senators like Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Ted Cruz (R-TX).
But Establishment Republicans also blame DeMint for fostering the GOP's internecine battles by building up the specter of a primary threat, and backing unpalatable far-right candidates who went on to squander the party's chances in general election races.
Although DeMint will continue to wield influence in his new position at the Heritage Foundation, the move shifts a major nucleus of conservative power from inside Congress to an outside body — a symbolic step backwards for the Tea Party and other movement conservatives, whose influence has been steadily waning since its 2010 peak.
The DeMint announcement comes as GOP leaders takes steps to stamp out party divisions and enforce discipline among its members in the aftermath of the GOP's election failures.
Earlier this week, House Speaker John Boehner led the Republican leadership in stripping four outspoken conservative members— Justin Amash (R-MI), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), David Schweikert (R-AZ), and Walter Jones (R-NC) — of their coveted positions on the House Budget and Banking Committees.
The purge sparked outrage among conservative activists, some of whom have subsequently called for Boehner's removal from the Speaker post.
In a strongly-worded Facebook post, Amash — a staunch deficit hawk and vocal supporter of Ron Paul— laments the leadership's "heavy-handedness," and says that the purge sends a bad message to young conservatives. He also notes that the leadership never even officially told him that he was being removed from the Budget Committee, and instead learned about it through news reporters.
Here's the post, which had 5,634 likes at the time this post went up:
Rumor has it that I've been removed from the House Committee on the Budget. Remarkably, I still have not received a single call, e-mail, or text from Republican leadership confirming this story. In fact, I wouldn't even have learned about it if not for the news reports. I look forward to hearing from my party's leadership about why my principled, conservative voting record offends them. That's sure to be a lively and entertaining conversation.
In the meantime, I can only speculate as to what specifically would make Republican leadership punish several of its party's most principled members. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, who was kicked off of both Budget and the Committee on Agriculture, voted with me against the 2013 House budget resolution because it does not sufficiently address the federal government's debt crisis. That was one of only three times during this Congress that I voted against the Chairman's recommendations in committee. In fact, I voted with the Republican Chairman more than 95% of the time, and I have voted with my party's leadership more than three-quarters of the time on the House floor.
What message does leadership's heavy-handedness send? It says that independent thinking won't be tolerated, not even 5% of the time. It says that voting your conscience won't be respected. It says that fulfilling your commitment to your constituents to work with both Republicans and Democrats to reduce our debt takes a back seat to the desires of corporate special interests. And, most troubling for our party, it says to the growing number of young believers in liberty that their views are not welcome here.
I'll miss working with my colleagues on Budget. I don't relish this situation, but if one thing is clear based on the response from the grassroots, it's that leadership's actions will backfire. If they think kicking me off of a committee will lead me to abandon my principles or stifle my bipartisan work toward a balanced budget, I have a message for them: You're dead wrong.
According to Amash's spokesperson, Will Adams, the Michigan Republican now joins Huelskamp in calling for the leadership to release the criterion for their removal from the Budget Committee. Adams pointed to reports that some members of the House Steering Committee — which made the decision — had spreadsheets with votes that they considered to be a litmus test for committee assignments.
According to Adams, Amash's "voting record score" on the spreadsheet was reportedly "very low." He added that it is not clear what votes were included in the spreadsheet.
"It's a confusing situation," Adams told Business Insider. "We want to know which votes riled up the leadership. We want to know the votes upon which we're being judged."
But even if those votes are released, Adams said Amash's staff isn't hopeful that the decision will be reversed.
"We plan on having conversations with the House leadership and members of the House Steering Committee," he said. "But there's no indication that the decision will be changed."

Recommended for: General engineering, construction and fabrication <700N/mm2 material hardness
Diameter: 15mm
Depth of Cut: 25mm
Pilot used: SRA25 (Supplied separately)
Material: Fully ground M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) cutters
Applications: Rotabroach magnetic drill and cutters suit a wide range of applications throughout many industries including construction, engineering, mining, petro-chemical, gas, oil ship building and railways.
Advantages of Rotabroach cutters:Rotabroach Cutters drill a burr-free hole by cutting around the hole and ejecting the center as a usable slug. Rotabroach Cutters require far less horsepower than twist drills of comparable size when run at the same feed rate. As a result, cutters can be run at higher feeds with higher metal removal rates while horsepower requirements are not increased. The geometry of Rotabroach Cutters is such that far less material is converted into chips than when using twist drills.
Far less thrust is required by Rotabroach Cutters because they do not have a dead-center area like the chisel edge region of twist drills. Thrust required is 50% of smaller diameter twist drills and 10% or less for larger diameters.
More cutting edges at work during each revolution smooths out finishes and reduces chip loads per tooth as compared to twist drills. From three to 12 teeth per cutter, depending upon diameter, helps tools last longer, even at higher feed rates.

I can't remember when exactly I first heard and fell in love with Ai Se Eu Te Pego by Michel Teló – Was it a year ago? Two years ago?
For those not familiar, here is the original song – I love this video because it has the Spanish subtitles of the lyrics in Portuguese and also because those Spanish lyrics were written by a Spaniard who used the verb "coger" – A perfectly normal word in Spain meaning "to catch" or "to grab" – but to Latin American ears, (or gringa ears that are used to Latin American Spanish), the word means "to fuck" and it's either offensive or hilarious. (I'm in the hilarious camp.)
While I can't remember when I discovered the song, I can remember the way I discovered it, which was through watching videos of celebratory dances after fútbol goals. A lot of Brazilian soccer players like to do the Ai Se Eu Te Pego dance when they score a goal. Neymar seems to be an especially big fan – so much so that he's brought the dance into the locker room as a way to annoy/entertain his teammates.
However, Ronaldo and Marcelo like to dance, too.
Muchachos, if you don't enjoy watching Neymar and Ronaldo doing that provocative little dance as much as I do, my apologies. Feel free to go over to Pitbull's remix of the song, a video which features women in bikinis. (It's Pitbull. Would you expect anything less?)
Anyway, yesterday at work, one of Carlos's Mexican coworkers started singing Ai Se Eu Te Pego, but he had changed the words to Spanish:
Hermosa, hermosa usted a mi me mata
Ay si te veo, ay ay si te veo eh
Hermosa, hermosa usted a mi me mata
Ay si te beso, ay ay si te beso eh
Of course I thought this was hilarious and started to type up a Facebook status to share, and then I asked myself, "Wait a minute… maybe there's really a Spanish remix and he was just singing it?"
The song's popularity would certainly have resulted in a Spanish version, by now, right? Come on, if there is a Spanish version of Michael Jackson's Thriller out there, and a Spanish Duranguense version of Justin Bieber's Baby, surely there must be a Spanish version of the wildly popular Ai Se Eu Te Pego by Michel Teló! … Well gente, the internet did not let me down. Here it is, Ai Se Eu Te Pego, versión español. This one is called, Ay si te beso by Argentinian musician, "Feice." Chécalo!
(video no longer available)
Not crazy about that one? Here's one by a guy who simply goes by the name Roberto:
Another one in Spanish by DJotta y Fenix:
This Spanish version by Rico Alexis actually uses the phrasing "Ay, si te cojo, mami" – the guy is Chilean but living in Spain – so did he mean it the Spanish way or the Chilean way? You decide.

For the first time in over a year, Shane McDermott will not start for Miami at center.
McDermott, a junior out of Palm Beach Central, was listed as out on Miami's ACC injury report released early Thursday afternoon. The school said the 6-foot-4, 296-pound lineman had a lower extremity injury.
Also listed as out for Saturday's game are wide receiver Rashawn Scott (shoulder) and offensive lineman Danny Isidora (foot). Earlier this week, Miami coach Al Golden, said both Scott and Isidora could return around the time of the Hurricanes' matchup with North Carolina on Oct. 17.
It's unknown what specific injury McDermott is dealing with, or when exactly he got hurt. Early in the week, Golden said Miami had stayed relatively healthy through last week's bye.
McDermott started all 12 games at center in 2012 and played in 10 games as a redshirt freshman in 2011.
Former American Heritage lineman Jared Wheeler, a 6-foot-5, 319-pound senior, is listed behind McDermott on Miami's depth chart.
Also listed on Miami's injury report was offensive lineman Hunter Knighton, who is out for the season after having shoulder surgery.
The Hurricanes face Savannah State on Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.

State Policy Description
Indiana - Distributed Generation / Solar Carve-out
Policy Components Questions
- 1. Does the state's portfolio standard include a carve-out? No
- 2. Does the state's carve-out include interim targets? No
- 3. Does the carve-out include multiple renewable energy resources? No
- 4. Does policy apply to other types of utilities besides investor-owned utilities? No
- 5. Does the state's carve-out apply to more than one customer class, or are there kW (system size) tiers? No
Policy Component information last updated July 30 2018
While Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) require a specific percentage of utility sales or a specific megawatt hour (MWh) capacity to be provided by renewable resources by a specific date, many times these standards do not advance solar, distributed, or customer-sited renewable resources. As a result, many states have implemented legislation to carve-out a percentage of their generation for distributed generation (DG). DG carve-outs have also been used as a component of RPS to advance DG with or without specifying a technology (like solar, for example). For more information, see the full policy brief.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—An effort to criminalize synthetic marijuana sold as herbal incense has easily cleared the Minnesota House with bipartisan support.
The bill from Republican Rep. John Kriesel (KREE'-suhl) of Cottage Grove passed on a 124-4 vote on Thursday.
Fake marijuana called K2 or Spice contains herbs and chemical compounds that mimic the effect of real marijuana when smoked. The substance can cause risky side effects such as heart palpitations, panic attacks and delusions.
The legislation would punish the sale of synthetic marijuana with fines of up to $3,000. Possessing the substance could bring penalties of up to 90 days in jail, fines of up to $1,000 or both.
Kriesel and others say it's time to crack down on teenagers who are smoking the drug.

It's all about tone when it comes to genre, IMO. "Crash" for example is a straight drama (though a craptastic one at that). Eternal Sunshine is not a straight drama.

We know that we can Connect a calendar from SharePoint to Outlook. That is not what we need. We need to other direction!

Schools Give Students Tools to Fight Back Against Bullies
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Bullies are a big problem in schools. Every week, many children are afraid to go to school. They are afraid they will be picked on by a bully. One study found that 52% of children reported being bullied at least once a week. Sixty percent say that they know someone who could harm them. One student was always being teased because he was short. He didn't like to go to school because he had to face the bullies.
Some children choose not to go to school at all so they can avoid the bullies. When they miss school, students fall behind their classmates. A new program is helping put an end to this problem. The program is teaching kids how to deal with bullies. This is helping more children feel safe in school.
One school principal is working to end this negative behavior. Last year, he decided to let students know bullying is not allowed there. Students are now encouraged to report bullies and stand up for themselves. Those found to be bullies face harsh penalties. Students at his school participate in a program called "Be Bold." In this program, students work together to prevent violence. They do skits and go into classrooms to talk about the problem. They give other students strategies on how to deal with bullies.
The principal says that the school has changed since he has addressed the bullying problem. But there are other steps parents can take to help their children with this problem. First, students and their parents should know the school's rules about bullying and what they should do if it happens. Second, children should be taught to stand up for themselves. They should try to resolve issues by talking them out. If the problem continues, parents and children should record each incident. Children should tell someone if they are being picked on. Many children keep bullying a secret.
Parents should look for warning signs of bullying. These can include cuts and bruises, worrying, wanting to stay home from school, or a sudden drop in grades.

Acid-bath method for making stem cells under fire
Researchers give tips for reproducing results, but one coauthor calls for retraction
H. Obokata
A surprisingly simple method for creating stem cells by dipping cells in acid has so far proven impossible to replicate, prompting calls for the original research papers, published in January, to be retracted. One of those calls is coming from inside the large group of collaborators that first introduced the STAP stem cells, a special kind of ultraflexible cell shown to produce any type of cell in the body and some in the placenta (SN: 2/22/14, p. 6).
Haruko Obokata of the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, and colleagues first reported in two January 29 papers in Nature that they had reprogrammed newborn mouse cells by dunking them into acid or squeezing them. The cells took on stem cell–like qualities and were dubbed STAP cells for stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency. So far, no other researchers have been able to repeat the accomplishment.
Qi-Long Ying, a stem cell biologist at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles, has tried twice to make STAP cells without success. He is not alone. Ten reported attempts posted to a blog maintained by stem cell researcher Paul Knoepfler of the University of California, Davis have also failed.
"No one has told me privately they could get it to work," Knoepfler says. "If anyone is getting it to work, they're really keeping a tight lid on it. Of course, we can't know what people aren't telling us."
On March 5, Obokata and colleagues Yoshiki Sasai and Hitoshi Niwa released detailed tips for replicating the procedure for making the cells.
It's clear from the tutorial that the technique is not as straightforward as it was originally portrayed. "This is not an easy method," Knoepfler says. "That doesn't mean it's wrong; it just may be something one can only rarely get to work."
But the papers have also come under scrutiny because of allegations of plagiarism and image duplication. "Crucial mistakes" in the research led one of the original study coauthors, Teruhiko Wakayama of Yamanashi University in Japan, to ask Obokata to retract the papers from publication, the Wall Street Journal reported on March 10. Nature and RIKEN have launched independent investigations.
"I think it is still too early to call for a retraction of the STAP papers," Ying said in an e-mail. "Nature should invite Dr. Haruko Obokata to replicate her own STAP results in an independent and reputable lab chosen by Nature. This is the most efficient way to prove whether the STAP story is true or not."
Other researchers say that the onus is on the authors to show the validity of the work. But with dissension within the original research team, "it's not going to be a smooth road to clarity," Knoepfler says.

"The Matrix" star came under fire from parenting groups for allowing her 12-year-old daughter Willow to dye her hair and shave her head as part of a fashion statement, and now Jada Pinkett is publicly addressing the issue for the first time, insisting the preteen has the power to do whatever she pleases with her body.
In a post on Facebook.com, she writes, "This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don't belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination.
"I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair.
"It's also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be."

Rihanna Tweets Topless Cover Art + Name of New Album
Calling all Rihanna fans! You might want to check this out — the singer used Twitter, everyone's favorite social media device to announce to share the album art for her newest album 'UNAPOLOGETIC.'
It should be known that this marks her seventh album in seven years, and will be released less than a year since 'Talk That Talk,' Ri's sixth album. Damn girl, slow down!
"My NEW album "UNAPOLOGETIC" will be released on NOVEMBER 19th WORLDWIDE
#Navy," she tweeted, after posting the actual picture. The new artwork features the singer topless, in a sultry pose, with black and white words superimposed all over her body. A noticeable feature on the cover is Rihanna's latest artistic addition: the tattoo of the Egyptian goddess Isis that resides under her breasts in honor of her grandmother.
Her single 'Diamonds' off of her upcoming album is currently climbing up the Billboard charts, so make sure you prepare yourselves for the release of 'UNAPOLOGETIC' — coming Nov. 19.

Friday, September 21
Good morning, TexMessagers! According to the newest report by the Pew Research Center, Texas is home to ten of the top 60 Hispanic metropolitan areas. Do you think the political parties will be able to tap into this huge voting block this election cycle?
According to a report released by the Pew Hispanic Center on Wednesday, "nearly half (45%) of the nation's Hispanic population lives in just 10 metropolitan areas." Both California and Texas are home to three of those areas. For Texas, those areas are Houston-Brazoria, Dallas-Forth Worth, and San Antonio.
The Texas Democrats, who have been talking of turning the state blue in the near future, should take note of the report as the Hispanic vote could be the key to carrying their plan to fruition. This will be no easy task, if one considers past statistics for Texas Hispanic voters.
In 2010, there were over four million of Texas Hispanics who were citizens and were of voting age. Only about half of those were registered to vote and only half of those registered to vote actually voted making the Hispanic voter turn out only 24.59 percent, according to the William C. Velasquez Institute.
Bellow are the 10 areas within Texas that made it among Pew's top 60 Hispanic metropolitan areas:
3. Houston-Brazoria, TX with Hispanic population of 2,044,000
6. Dallas-Fort Worth, TX with Hispanic population of 1,746,000
9. San Antonio, TX with Hispanic population of 1,090,000
13. McAllen-Edinburg-Pharr-Mission, TX with Hispanic population of 707,000
14. El Paso, TX with Hispanic population of 662,000
20. Austin, TX with Hispanic population of 502,000
29. Brownsville-Harlingen-San Benito, TX with Hispanic population of 359,000
36. Laredo, TX with Hispanic population of 240,864
46. Corpus Christi, TX with Hispanic population of 157,275
55. Odessa, TX with Hispanic population of 124,633

Reader Comment of the Day
In response to our Texas on the Potomac article Immigrant visa battle pits Lamar Smith, Henry Cuellar vs. rest of Texas Democrats, "Rockette" wrote in the comments forum:
It seems some politicians are talking out of both ends of their bodies. First, they don't want students from other countries, then they do. They need to make up their minds. If students who earn higher education degrees in America are allowed to remain here, in all probability they have family members who are not educated and will want to come to America because the educated family member will be the number one bread winner in the family. How will the politicians handle that type of situation?

GIB Dispo-Cockpit Controlling (DCC)
Inventory Optimization
Maximizing service levels while minimizing inventory and operating costs is a delicate balancing act. Balancing service levels and inventory levels requires product segmentation and replenishment planning algorithms to fully optimize supply chain performance within SAP.
Choose variant
- Achieve your targeted service level with less inventory
- Optimize inventory and safety stock planning
- Simulate inventory and service level impacts in real time
- Rapid time to value
- Low Total Cost of Ownership
The Dispo-Cockpit Controlling (DCC) solution delivers a multitude of information views and enhanced replenishment calculations to segment, discover, and resolve inventory performance issues. The DCC solution resides inside SAP ERP, applying substantially better reporting and segmentation tools to the existing SAP data structures. Instead of a "one-size-fits-all" inventory strategy, planners can now segment materials by sales volume and constancy of consumption, then apply different service level and planning parameters by segment to drive higher service at lower total cost.
- Fully embedded within SAP, no additional hardware or interfaces required
- ABC analysis by volumes and XYZ analysis by constancy of consumption
- Inventory analysis by Product Life Cycle
- Simulation mode to see the projected impact of MRP parameter changes
- Range of coverage graphic with drill down
- Variable safety stock calculations driven by service level targets, demand volumes and forecast accuracy
- Ad hoc formulas, and individual multi-screen monitor
- SAP ECC 6.0 EhP 0
- G.I.B Dispo-Cockpit is the proprietary and confidential material owned by Gessellschaft fur Infromation und Bildrung mBH. (G.I.B)

Remember that Animaniacs song that names ever single U.S. president? The wacky cartoon's history lesson is still clever, for both kids and adults, kind of like this American Presidents iPad app.
What does it do?
Gives you bios of all 44 U.S. presidents with beautiful illustrations to match.
Why do we like it?
It's not just presidential history—U.S. Presidents also discusses landmark Supreme Court cases, talks about crucial legislation, and deals with key events like the Civil War and the American Revolution. And seriously, you are never too old to brush up on your history. Do you ever see those man-on-the-street polls where an interviewer asks people to name the first U.S. president? The answer is usually "I don't know" or "George Bush." People are dumb. But there's no excuse because you should have learned those facts in third grade. And also, cool, engaging apps like this one exist.

James Carville on Thursday appeared on Good Morning America to discuss Tuesday's Republican landslide, but faced no questions about his erroneous prediction that Democrats would enjoy 40 years of dominance.
On May 4, 2009, Carville stopped by GMA to tout 40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation, his book on the subject. An ABC Graphic hyped, "Democrats 1932-1968, Republicans 1968-2008, Democrats 2008-2048?"
In light of massive GOP victories, Stephanopoulos also could have questioned his friend about a quip from the 2009 appearance: "...These tea baggers, they turned everybody off. There were a bunch of like 75-year-old cranky white guys mad at everything. It just couldn't have been a better event for the Democratic Party. I hope they come back and tea bag some more."
[Video after the jump.]
This Carville quote doesn't hold up to scrutiny: "Every growing demographic is trending Democratic and I think we're probably on the verge of another 40-year era of party dominance here."
Rather than bring up any of these embarrassing predictions, Stephanopoulos tried to find an upside for Barack Obama. He theorized, "But, could having Congress change hands be good for the President, good for the party in the long run?"
The host lamented a call by Republican Mitch McConnell to defeat the President in 2012: "I was struck by, you know, Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, before the election, said the number one job would be to deny President Obama a second term. He's not backing off that at all."
Interestingly, Stephanopoulos did bring up Carville's poor prediction on January 25, 2010.
A transcript of the November 4 segment, which aired at 7:10am EDT, follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We're going to get more into how divided government will work or won't work. We're going to talk to Tea Party leader Dick Armey, who is chairman of FreedomWorks and the author of Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto. And here in the studio, Democratic strategist, James Carville. And James, I want to begin with showing your double on Saturday Night Live, talking about the prospect of a Republican House.
"JAMES CARVILLE" ON SNL: Let them have the House. I mean, have you ever seen the House of Representative. Good riddance. Have you ever seen the House of Representatives? It's like a waiting room for jury duty. When you see the House on C-SPAN, it's like a family reunion that's only weird uncles.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, you were joking there. But, could having Congress change hands be good for the President, good for the party in the long run?
CARVILLE: I don't feel like it today. Congratulations to former Congressman Army who was instrumental in starting this Tea Party thing, which had a lot to do with this. It may be. But there's not going to be a lot of common ground. And whatever side gets its, sort of, sea legs first and is able to adjust, it will be a really, really new reality in Washington will be more successful. There's some reasons why the White House can. It's more unified. It's easier to do. The Republicans are going to be spread. There's going to be so many things. I would like to announce my endorsement of Michele Bachmann for that position. I'd like to see her out there for sure.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I take it that you may second that endorsement of Ms. Bachmann. Let's get to some of the policies though, as well. James says he doesn't think there's a lot of prospects for common ground. I was struck by, you know, Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, before the election, said the number one job would be to deny President Obama a second term. He's not backing off that at all. He's going to give a speech later today where he repeats that and says, quote, "If our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill, to end the bailouts, cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things." Is that the right approach right now?
DICK ARMEY: Well, Let me say, first of all, I think we've got a really good leadership team. And quite frankly, I was surprised to hear you characterize Jeb Hensarling as an establishment guy. This is a candidate that gave the best expressions of opposition and the most depth, deeply analytical terms to TARP and to the banking reform bill. He's got a very bright mind. He's very deep. And the reason he's on the TARP commission, was he was the best voice in opposition to it. So, the fact is, this is not an insider. This is not an establishment guy. He's a very bright and able person. And it's going to be a good contest for good leadership slots. Now, what you see with this leadership team is what I call quiet competence. John Boehner is not an easy guy. He doesn't need a lot of attention. He will quietly and quickly focus resources and resourcefulness on problems and directions. And he's got a proven ability to work with even the most militant people on the other side, such as George Miller.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the President signaled that he might be willing to compromise on tax cuts yesterday. If he extends, is willing to extend tax cuts for the wealthy for a year, is that something that's acceptable?
ARMEY: Well, obviously, I think what you do with this, understand the dilemma they have in dealing with this in a lame duck session, it must be dealt with in this session, is that when the votes in the House were a full extension of the tax package, Nancy Pelosi would not allow the vote to be taken. The fact of the matter, this hasn't changed. It's probably gone more in the direction of the package that it gives full extension, is what will pass the House. You don't have time to quibble about this a whole lot. My guess is that would then be quickly taken up by the Senate and passed on to the President. So, the President said I'm perfectly willing to talk about what I know I'm going to get anyway.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And, James, what we'll see is the President trying to work something out on taxes. Clearly going to draw a line on health care. That's a clear difference from Speaker-to-be Boehner, from Mitch McConnell, as well. So, where can they find the common ground?
CARVILLE: Earmarks. The SALT treaty with Russia. I have no idea. The stuff that we've shown, school nutrition, or something, seems like small potatoes to me in the middle of a recession, with all of if problems we have. Maybe if they can find two or three small things they can agree on, it will come to something else. They're going to have to agree on a budget. Some things, the business of government has to go on. We were discussing yesterday, they're going to have to find agreement on this debt ceiling which is going to be a huge issue when it comes up.
STEPHANOPOULOS: If they don't raise the debt ceiling, the entire government can go into default. Is that one of the places where republicans will hold the line, Mr. Armey?
ARMEY: Well, I think everybody is realistically aware of that. The debt ceiling must be raised. And that a fact that derived from past fiscal improvements. I would think with the small government conservatives in the Congress would say is, all right. We'll go work with you on this. But we do need to have some demonstration on your part of a renewed commitment to fiscal responsibility going forward.

HYDE PARK — Margaret "Daisy" Suckley witnessed global shifts first-hand in her role as President Franklin D. Roosevelt's cousin and close confidante.
HYDE PARK — Margaret "Daisy" Suckley witnessed global shifts first-hand in her role as President Franklin D. Roosevelt's cousin and close confidante.
The lighthearted story of the historic 1939 visit of England's King George VI and Queen-Consort Elizabeth to Roosevelt's home is told through Suckley's point of view in the biographical comedy "Hyde Park on Hudson," which opens Friday in two theaters in New York City and two theaters in Los Angeles.
A country visit for a hot-dog barbecue barely masked the weight of important alliances forged that weekend at the brink of World War II.
The film's writer, Richard Nelson, has lived in Rhinebeck for decades and briefly met Daisy in the 1980s when a friend took him to Wilderstein, her lifelong residence. He drew the story from her diaries, discovered after her death.
"Although this is a story with ramifications across the globe, dealing with great historical figures, it is also about a woman from my village. A woman I once saw on her sofa who, for a time, had a chance to see the world," Nelson said in the film's production notes.
For three hours, Academy award-nominated actress Laura Linney toured Wilderstein in preparation for her role as Daisy.
"She was particularly interested in the books that belonged to Daisy," said Wilderstein Executive Director Gregory Sokaris. "She spent a great deal of time in her bedroom, looking through her belongings and books. She had tons of questions."
Linney left with a copy of the museum's video of Suckley's reminiscences tucked under her arm so she could study Daisy's body language and vocal cadences.
Nearby at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, Nelson, British director Roger Michell and actor Bill Murray came in turns to conduct their own research before filming.
Murray, who'd watched his sister's struggle with childhood polio, was impressed by FDR's approach.
"It was extraordinary how FDR's will overpowered that. You never saw self-pity from the man," Murray said in the production notes. "He was very straightforward about how there were not to be pictures of him being carried around on his crutches or in his wheelchair."
Rather than filming "Hyde Park on Hudson" in Dutchess County, key rooms were photographed and measured for reproduction in England. A replica of Top Cottage, where the picnic with the King was held in 1939, was built from scratch at Chilterns Hills in southeastern England.
The story of British royalty coming to America and retaining its English pride at a distinctly American-style picnic was inverted, to American actors going to England to be icons of U.S. history in the English countryside.
