It snowed all day here on Saturday. Like blizzardy. And this is coming from a Canadian, not a weak ass LA douche spending the weekend in Park City for sh-ts and giggles. Have I mentioned? I don't love Sundance. Because the Hollywood gets too concentrated in such a small space, it's almost infuriating.
Anyway, back to the weather - these were straight up WINTER conditions. There was over a foot of fresh snow on the ground. The ploughs couldn't get to everything in time. What to wear if you're a celebrity promoting your film? You want to look stylish but, you'd think, you also want to be warm, practical, right?
Check out Rebecca Hall at the premiere of Lay The Favourite. The pictures really don't show how great she looked that night. That's a Tod's coat. It was amazing. It was perfect. On her and for the occasion. Also note - BOOTS. Because that's how most people walk around in the snow.
Unless of course you're Kate Bosworth.
Bosworth's film Black Rock was a late screening. As in midnight. At that hour the wind was dramatic. I mean, we were waiting to interview the Black Rock cast in a media tent outside the venue and at times it felt like it would blow away.
And THIS is what Kate Bosworth showed up in. With Lake Bell, also super appropriately attired.
I mean...
In person Bosworth's thinness is even more jarring than you expect. So much so that both Dylan, camera, and Josh, producer, mentioned it first. Boys aren't supposed to be so judgy and observational about this kind of thing. In this case, it's because whatever it is that they're judging walked up to them and punched them in the face with its obviousness.
There were times when Bosworth would move behind Lake and completely disappear. And Lake is pretty slender too. Next to Bosworth though, seriously, even Lake looked round. For those of you who still want to argue that she doesn't actively maintain this standard, google Blue Crush. Josh thought that she might fall over from the cold and her fragility.
As for the boyfriend, he is devoted to her in a way that Alexander Skarsgard could never be. Held her coat during interviews, waiting patiently, didn't mind when a photographer had no idea of his name, divulging it politely, posed happily with her when requested to, very willing to participate in her game. I guess that's the answer.
Am also attaching photos of Bosworth walking around town in cute casual, weather-workable clothing which, to me, given the environment, would have met all style requirements, in addition to practicality ones.

An official website of the United States government
For release 10:00 a.m. (EST) Thursday, December 17, 2009 USDL-09-1534 Technical information: Handbook (202) 691-5700 * email@example.com * www.bls.gov/oco Career Guide (202) 691-5700 * email@example.com * www.bls.gov/oco/cg Media contact: (202) 691-5902 * firstname.lastname@example.com 2010-11 EDITIONS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK HANDBOOK AND THE CAREER GUIDE TO INDUSTRIES AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET The 2010-11 editions of the Occupational Outlook Handbook and the Career Guide to Industries were released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Handbook and the Career Guide can be ac- cessed online at www.bls.gov/oco and www.bls.gov/oco/cg, respec- tively. The print version of the Occupational Outlook Handbook is expected to be available in the spring of 2010. Considered the Government's premier source of career information, the Handbook and Career Guide profile hundreds of occupations and dozens of industries, respectively. Both publications provide com- prehensive, up-to-date, and reliable labor market information that has helped millions of people plan their future work lives. In ad- dition, this information has proven invaluable to counselors, stu- dents, jobseekers, career changers, education and training offi- cials, and researchers. These publications reflect the Bureau's latest employment projec- tions, which cover the 2008-18 decade. The 10-year projections of industry and occupational employment are revised every 2 years. They were made available through a news release on December 10, 2009, accessible at www.bls.gov/news.release/ecopro.toc.htm. De- tailed information on the 2008-18 projections appears in five articles in the November 2009 issue of the Monthly Labor Review, accessible online at www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/mlrhome.htm. A graphic presentation of the highlights of the projections appears in the Winter 2009-10 Occupational Outlook Quarterly, accessible at www.bls.gov/ooq. The Occupational Outlook Handbook For more than 50 years, the Handbook has proven to be the most reliable source of career guidance. Useful for looking up infor- mation on particular occupations or just browsing through possi- ble careers, the Handbook profiles nearly 300 occupations that provide most of the jobs in the economy. For each occupation, the Handbook highlights key characteristics, such as work environment, job prospects, and education requirements. Each occupation is pre- sented in a standard format which allows comparisons to be performed relatively easy. Excerpts from the 2010-11 edition of the Handbook describing physician assistants are presented at the end of this news release. The Career Guide to Industries The Career Guide to Industries, the Occupational Outlook Hand- book's companion publication, analyzes employment change from an industry perspective, providing information on 43 industries that cover 3 out of 4 jobs in the economy. For each industry, the Career Guide describes the nature of the industry and recent developments, typical working conditions, and key occupations employed in the industry. The Career Guide also discusses industry training practices and worker earnings. The "Outlook" section compares the industry's projected percent change in employment with the percent change in the total number of jobs for all industries combined. "What's New?"...in the 2010-11 Editions The new editions of the Occupational Outlook Handbook and Career Guide to Industries incorporate several website enhancements and changes in occupational coverage. For example, the online version of the Handbook will now include photos associated with each occupation, as well as direct links to O*NET--the Occupational Information Network--a database sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration that has information about different aspects of a job, including tasks performed, knowledge, skills, work activities and more. O*NET can be accessed on the Internet at www.online.onetcenter.org. Within the Career Guide, there is one less industry covered--43 instead of 44 in the previous edition--due to classification changes between the 2002 and 2007 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) on which it is based. An overview and discussion of this and other modifications can be found in the "Occupational Information Included in the Handbook" and the "Information in the Career Guide to Industries" sections of each respective publi- cation. Ordering Information The print version of the 2010-11 edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook is sold by the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, and is expected to be available in the spring of 2010. Ordering and price information will appear online at www.bls.gov/emp/ep_order_information.htm. Technical documentation about the projections is available online at www.bls.gov/emp/ep_tech_documentation.htm. Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.

Pre-Order GFX50R Wed at 9am: B&H Photo / Adorama / Amazon
Fujifilm launches new GFX Series medium format mirrorless digital camera "FUJIFILM GFX 50R"
– Incorporates a large sensor approximately 1.7 times the size of full-size 35mm image sensor
-New model with a rangefinder style design, a lightweight 775g* body and easy operability
-Produces ultra-high image quality with 51.4 million pixel sensor, ideal for both snapshots and portraits
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) launches a rangefinder style GFX 50R as the latest model in the GFX Series of medium format mirrorless digital cameras incorporating a large sensor approximately 1.7 times the size of a full-size 35mm image sensor** (43.8mm x 32.9mm.) The GFX 50R will be released in November 2018.
The GFX 50R produces ultra-high image quality by incorporating Fujifilm G Format Image Sensor with 51.4 million pixels, high-speed image processing engine X-Processor Pro, the high resolution FUJINON GF Lens, and Fujifilm's proprietary color reproduction technology accumulated for more than 80 years. Its lightweight and compact body – minimum width of 46mm and a weight of 775g* – makes GFX 50R an ideal tool for snapshots, documentary photographs and portraits.
Fujifilm introduced the GFX 50S as the first camera in the GFX Series in February 2017. With its compact, lightweight body and center viewfinder style, the GFX 50S proved popular among professional and high amateur photographers impressed with its image quality and mobility. While maintaining the same ultra-high image quality as the GFX 50S, the GFX 50R caters to the needs of photographers who wish to use a camera designed with a compact lightweight body and simple operability like a traditional film camera with the rangefinder style.
<Main features of the GFX 50R>
1. Ultra-high image quality produced by the 51.4 million pixel medium format size G Format sensor and the high-speed image processing engine X-Processor Pro
- The GFX 50R uses a G Format sensor, a medium format sensor with approximately 1.7 times the area of a full size 35mm sensor which can detects more light per pixel. The sensor achieves high image quality of 51.40 million pixels, while also providing the user with excellent sensitivity and wide range tone reproduction to produce ultra-high quality images.
- Its image processing engine is the well-received X-Processor Pro, which is used with X Series digital cameras with APS-C size sensors***. It also incorporates Fujifilm's unique "Film Simulation" mode, which allows photographers to enjoy color reproduction of photographic films such as PROVIA, Velvia and ACROS used by professional photographers and hobbyists with traditional medium format cameras.
2. Rangefinder style design, with a minimum width of 46mm, and light compact body weighing just 775g, provides superior mobility
- Weighing just 775g, 145g lighter*4 than the GFX 50S, and with a body reduced to just 46mm in thickness at its narrowest part, the camera is easy to carry around and store, and also achieves superior mobility.
- The camera uses the rangefinder style, which the photographer can look through the viewfinder with their right eye while seeing the subject with their left eye, an approach that helps the photographer shoot while taking in the atmosphere of their chosen scene.
- The electronic viewfinder has a magnification of 0.77, and uses a high resolution 3.69 million dot organic EL panel. Accurate focusing is also possible even when shooting with the large sensor for medium format size, which has a shallower depth of field than the 35mm full-size sensor.
3. Combination of extreme toughness with simple operability to meet the needs of professional photographers
- It includes a Focus Lever, the popular feature of X Series models, which provides instantaneous control of the focus point while letting the photographer to maintain a firm hold on the camera. The upper surface of the body includes both shutter speed and exposure control dials for simple operability. In addition, the dials made of aluminum give the camera a classy touch, while enabling a smooth click when they are rotated.
- Its strong magnesium alloy body is sealed in 64 different places to provide dust and weather resistant, and it is also capable of operating in environments as cold as -10°C. Its tough, durable body meets the needs of professional photographers.
4. Supports photographers with diverse range of shooting styles with rich lineup of interchangeable lenses and compatible to various software
- It can be used in a wide variety of scenes together with all of the 11 FUJINON GF interchangeable lenses included in the new development roadmap announced today, which cover a range of focal distances from 23 mm (equivalent to 18mm in the 35mm film format) to 350 mm (equivalent to 277mm in the 35mm film format). In addition, all of the Fujifilm GF lens are equipped with a resolution sufficient to handle 100 million pixel sensors and are designed for an extremely wide range of usage conditions, through dust and weather resistant, and capable of operating in environments as cold as -10°C, ensuring the camera can withstand the harsh conditions faced by professional photographers.
- It is also fully compatible with tether shooting software, an indispensable tool for professional photographers, including HS-V4 for Windows and the Tethered Shooting Plug-In PRO for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®. The camera is also compatible with Capture One Pro FUJIFILM*5. This allows photographers to harness the camera for various shooting techniques in the studio, adapting it to various workflow categories.
5. First Bluetooth® compatible camera in the GFX series provides improved connectivity
- The GFX 50R is the first camera in the GFX Series to include Bluetooth® low-energy technology. Photographers can use the FUJIFILM Camera Remote application for use with smartphones or tablets in order to send images quickly and easily to a device registered in advance with the camera using the pairing feature.
6. Expanded 35mm format mode meets a broad range of user needs
- The 35mm format mode which records only the central portion of the sensor (36.0mm x 24.0mm; equivalent to approximately 30 million pixels) can now be used with a FUJINON GF lens or the interchangeable SUPER EBC FUJINON HC lens for medium format film cameras, The 35mm format mode works well with the FUJINON GF Lens, which shows extremely strong optical performance, providing a brighter image while keeping high resolution even in corners.
- The 35 mm format mode and other new functions will also be available for the GFX 50S users following firmware updates*6.

Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom, Part 1
Yesterday was Veterans Day. It was a cold morning here in Pullman: around 20 degrees, and we still have a few nasturtiums left in the front flowerbed. I'd listened to the NPR news piece about poppies and Flanders Fields and Remembrance Day in Commonwealth nations, and it occurred to me briefly that poppies would look nice when I opened the front door and went to put out the flag. With my hands so cold, I didn't think long about poppies.
First Lady Michelle Obama had marked the occasion the day before by honoring women veterans at Arlington, and by announcing several technological initiatives related to careers and education. I think that's a good thing, but I also had some difficulties with the ways military service and higher education were framed. As the White House's strategic communications officer COL Steve Parker put it, "[t]o support veterans in their transition to meaningful employment, the First Lady announced two significant public-private partnerships with LinkedIn and Coursera that will help military members find and land the jobs they want." For the sake of COL Parker's ongoing career satisfaction and that of other servicemembers, let's not talk about that "transition to meaningful employment" phrase, but the "public-private partnerships" are interesting in what they reflect about who we consider to be public and who we consider to be private. I see LinkedIn as the Facebook of the job search world, in both good and bad ways, and LinkedIn shows perhaps even more than Facebook how some efficiencies favor employers rather than would-be employees: as the axiom goes, if you're not paying, you're the product.
I have somewhat more difficulty with Coursera as a "partner" in a "public-private" partnership between veterans and American taxpayers as the "public" and a for-profit educational enterprise as the "private." Coursera, as one might imagine, is very happy about an arrangement by which "[t]he VA will endorse Coursera to 21 million US Veterans" in the name of "expos[ing] Veteran learners to industry relevant education." It's a familiar trope: praise those wonderfully selfless irrelevant dopes who we all seek to honor, in the name (not spoken too loudly) of profit. If you've read Google Chief Economist Hal Shapiro's early-oughts Harvard Business Press infocapitalism primer Information Rules, you'll recognize it as coming straight out of that playbook: what Coursera has done, quite masterfully, is to achieve distance education lock-in of a captive audience. With the public aid of the VA and American taxpayers, Coursera is increasing its private profits.
Coursera specializes in MOOCs, or Massively Open Online Courses, a recently-touted solution to what regimes of increasing privatization and profit have spuriously manufactured as an economic crisis in higher education. As Charles Lowe puts it in his introduction to a recent edited scholarly volume on MOOCs,
Millions of dollars of grants have funded many experiments with a variety of MOOCs based on different theoretical principles and using different interactive tools. Elite colleges are creating MOOCs to enhance their own reputations, although ironically not offering college credit for the courses themselves. Politicians, looking for yet another route to cheap education, are pushing MOOCs upon public institutions, with commercial entities determined to monetize the MOOC equally prodding the debate in favor of MOOCs for higher ed. (xi)
Jeffrey T. Grabill acknowledges that "the 'great recession' of 2007–2008" was why he and his colleagues "were thinking about MOOCs at Michigan State in 2012" (40). Nick Carbone characterizes MOOCs as "just another business venture seeking to promise educational efficiency—more students served—at lower per student costs" (193). Efficiency trumps all, and in a political and rhetorical environment where we know that the price tag for veterans' post-9/11 GI Bill is US $9 billion, perhaps MOOCs and their increased efficiencies of education offer an answer.
And so, in response to Michelle Obama's initiative with the VA and Coursera and distance education, we might well ask Cicero's question: cui bono?
In his co-edited volume, Charles Lowe traces the advent of MOOCs to the early 2002–2008 work of George Siemens (ix) and to MIT's 2002 OpenCourseWare project. The MIT project resulted in discussions that led to UNESCO's work with online Open Educational Resources (Lowe x), which I was grateful to make use of and share with Afghan English instructors when the United States Military Academy deployed me to Kabul in 2011. As Lowe observes, the notion of Open Educational Resources carries "an idealistic vision of creating freely available educational opportunities for anyone with Internet access, educational opportunities equivalent to the traditional classroom which would particularly help those in developing areas of the world" (x): an apparent public good, worth contrasting to the harvest of private profits from public service.
More to follow.

- Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give inaccurate measurements.
- When you measure the height/drop of the curtain, ensure you measure it from the top-tip of the curtain rod till the desired height.
- If you want a window size curtain, add 7-8″ from below the sill.
- If you want a door size curtain then start from the top-tip of the curtain rod to an inch above the floor.
- Widthwise, you should consider the width of the curtain as 2/3rd of the width of fabric, since when you put them on the curtain rod it would need some gathering to look neat. Thus, you can decide on how many number of identical curtains you want and order them accordingly
- Select the desired HEADER from the HEADER options given.Please note that you have to mandatorily select one HEADER option to place an order.
- In case if you need a lining fabric to be attached to the curtain at the back side of the curtain choose them.
- Also, if you need a tie-back for the curtain use the '+' symbol at the Tie-back option to add them.

'The masses will soon learn this from experience, even if they do, for a time, believe in "agreements" with the capitalists.' Published in Pravda No. 56, May 26 (13), 1917.
Our Party is going to the polls with its own lists of candidates. According to preliminary reports received by the Secretariat of the Central Committee these lists have been made up without any blocs in 4 out of 12 districts (Moskovsky, Rozhdestvenskoye, Kolpino, and Porokhovo districts). In all the other districts we are forming blocs only with the internationalists, specifically, in 6 districts (Vtoroi Gorodskoi, Narvsky, Petrogradkaya Storona, Moskovsky, Pervy Goredskoi and Vasilyevsky Ostrov districts) with the "Inter-District" Organisation[1] (who, as we know, have most emphatically condemned the Narodniks and Mensheviks for joining the capitalist cabinet); in 4 districts (Vyborgsky, Nevsky, Pervy Gorodskoi and Vasilyevsky Ostrov districts) with the internationalist Mensheviks opposed to "socialist" ministerialism[2]; and in 1 district (Nevsky) with internationalists from the Socialist—Revolutionary Party, who condemn their party's "ministerialism".
This co-operation with internationalists from other parties is fully in keeping with the decisions of our conferences (the Petrograd and the All-Russia conferences) and with the basic policy of the proletarian party aimed against petty-bourgeois defencism and Menshevik and Narodnik in misterialism.
The "Left bloc" propaganda, carried on, among others, by Novaya Zhizn, obviously could not alter our Party's decision. The view that the municipal elections "are not of such a pronounced political character" (as the elections to the Constituent Assembly) is wrong, basically wrong. It is just as wrong to maintain that "the municipal programmes of the different socialist [?] parties differ very little from one an other". To repeat such odd statements without answering Pravda's arguments is to dodge an important issue or simply to haul down the flag.
To narrow the elections in the capital down to a purely (or even predominantly) "municipal" programme at a time of revolution is grotesquely ridiculous. It flies in the face of all revolutionary experience. It is an insult to the common sense of the workers, who know only too well that Petrograd's is a leading role, sometimes a decisive one.
The Cadets unite all the Rights, the whole counter-revolution, all the landowners and capitalists. They support the government and want to see revolutionary Petrograd playing second fiddle to the government of the capitalists, who have ten ministers to the Narodniks' and Mensheviks' six.
Opposed to the Cadets, the chauvinists, the supporters of war for the Straits, there is the party of the proletariat, which, definitely hostile as it is to imperialism, is the only party capable of breaking with the interests of Capital and implementing serious revolutionary measures, without which it is impossible to help the working masses at a moment of imminent catastrophe of gigantic proportions. Without revolutionary measures there can be no salvation. Without a workers' militia as a step towards the immediate creation of a people's militia, it is impossible, even with the best will in the world, to carry out such measures, in particular to do away with queues and the disorganisation in the matter of food supply.
As for the middle-of-the-road line taken by the petty bourgeoisie, the Mensheviks and the Narodniks, who proclaim good intentions and weaken themselves by making a deal with and submitting to the capitalists (6 ministers against 10!)—this line is a dead thing. The masses will soon learn this from experience, even if they do, for a time, believe in "agreements" with the capitalists.
All those who really stand for the interests of the working masses, for doing away with the police and having it replaced by a people's militia, all those who stand for serious revolutionary measures to cope with the crisis and save the country from an unprecedented debacle, should vote for the lists of candidates of the proletarian party—the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks).

Here are some great uses for dryer sheets once you're done with them. Instead of letting your fabric softener sheets pile up in a corner, try one of these alternative uses instead!
1. Dusting: used dryer sheets can knock the dust off nearly any surface, including furniture, blinds, car interiors, baseboards/molding. Also works for sawdust and drywall compound.
2. Keep bugs away: Tuck some in your picnic basket or under lawn furniture to repel bees from your juicy flesh and encourage them back to the flowers, where they belong. You can also rub a sheet directly on your bare skin to discourage would- be buggers from leaving their mark.
3. Keep your clothes fresh: tuck a few fabric-sheets in your drawers to keep that 'just-washed' smell happening for weeks. Throw one in your dirty clothes hamper to prevent any rampant, residual odors from escaping into your bedroom.
4. Scrub your showers. Here's another great use for dryer sheets: lightly wet a used dryer sheet, and scrub to remove soap build-up and mineral deposits.
5. Freshen your home: Place (or tape) a dryer sheet on your HVAC vents to scent the air circulating through your home. You can even place one alongside your filter in your central heating unit to distribute the scent. Also works on ceiling fans, and on the back of box/portable fans.
6. Reduce static cling: Pat your self with a sheet to combat static on your clothes, stockings, and even long hair! This is one of my favorite alternative uses for dryer sheets!
8. Clean your laundry room: When you finish drying a load, hold on to the dryer sheet, and wipe down the inside of your dryer's drum, your lint trap, the outside of your washing machine and dryer, and scrub away any excess or spilt laundry detergent.
9. Scrub the bugs from your car: Summer drives often equal insect gut polka dots all over your auto's body and windshield. Simply wet your car down, and use a dryer sheet to scrub away carnage with ease.
10. Wipe up hair: The cling of a dryer sheet is perfect to wipe up pet hair from your furniture, or even your own hair from your bathroom.
11. In your shoes: Toss a dryer sheet in the toes of your shoes to minimize odors and prolong the just-purchased smell.
12. While traveling: Place a few dryer sheets in between items in your suitcase to keep both your clothes fresh and to prevent your items from picking up any mustiness from old luggage.
13. In your crafts: Use dryer sheets to add texture to cards, scrapbooks, etc. Also use for reinforcement in appliqué and quilting work.
14. For diapers: Keep your used dryer sheets in your diaper bag, and roll one up in the diaper to prevent odors before you have to chance to throw it away.
15. In the kitchen: Soak cookware with burnt or baked-on food in warm water, with a dryer sheet or two. Makes clean-up easier than you'd expect. Also works on cook tops and dingy cabinet doors.
16. Clean paint brushes: Soak your used paintbrushes in warm water with a dryer sheet, and that pesky latex paint will come off in under a minute.
17. In books: placing a dryer sheet in new books or photo albums will keep them smelling fresh, and can combat the musty paper smell of used or old books. Also works as a killer bookmark.
18. In toilet paper: Roll up a dryer sheet in your toilet paper roll. Each time you spin, it releases a little freshness into your bathroom.
19. As you sleep: keep a fabric-softener sheet in your pillow case and under your mattress or mattress pad for sweet dreams of summer all year 'round.
20. While sewing: use a dryer sheet to store your needles while threaded to keep them from tangling, for paper piecing while you quilt, and for backing for embroidery.
21. Repel rodents: Use dryer sheets to keep out mice, skunks, squirrels, rats, etc from your basement, garages, boats, campers, and clubhouses.
22. In your car: stash dryer sheets under your car seats and floor mats, and in your glove box and trunk for fresh scents as you travel.
23. At work: Hide dryer sheets in drawers, behind computers, and in cabinetry to keep your workspace fresh, and combat your co-workers awful perfume or stale cigarette scent.
24. In you vacuum cleaner: Place a dryer sheet in your vacuum bag or dust containment unit. As the hot air moves as you vacuum, you'll bulk up your cleaning efforts. (Make sure this is in NO WAY a fire hazard)
25. In storage: tuck dryer sheets in your rarely used items such as luggage, camping gear, sports equipment, or specialty craft or kitchen items to prevent the inevitable smells of basements, attics, and garages.
[Dryer sheets are chemical products, so read the safety label on all your packaging. Using an ecologically alert product such as Method will guarantee safer results]

3 How. 103
11 L.Ed. 514
January Term, 1845
Mr. TREADWELL moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up Thomas W. Dorr, of Rhode Island, under the following circumstances:
He stated that Dorr was charged with levying war against the state of Rhode Island, and sentenced to the state's prison for life, in June, 1844; that upon the trial a point of law was raised, whether treason could be committed against a state, but the court would not permit counsel to argue it; that a motion was made to suspend the sentence until a writ of error could be sued out to bring the case before the Supreme Court of the United States, but the court refused to suspend it. He then read affidavits to show that personal access to Dorr was denied, in consequence of which his authority could not be obtained for an application for such a writ. The present motion for a habeas corpus was based upon this fact. There was no other mode of ascertaining whether or not it was Dorr's wish that his case should be brought up to this court. Under the 14th section of the Judiciary Act, the power to issue writs of habeas corpus was vested in the judges of the United States' courts. 3 Story's Com. tit. Jurisdiction, 588, 590, 594, 595, 603, 608, 610, 625.
The case was in itself proper to be brought up under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act, as the decision of the state court was thought to be inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States.
Mr. Justice McLEAN delivered the opinion of the court.
Thomas W. Dorr was convicted before the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, at March term, 1844, of treason against the state of Rhode Island, and sentenced to the state's prison for life. And it appears from the affidavits of Francis C. Treadwell, a counsellor at law of this court, and others, that personal access to Dorr, in his confinement, to ascertain whether he desires a writ of error to remove the record of his conviction to this court, has been refused. On this ground the above application has been made.
Have the court power to issue a writ of habeas corpus in this case? This is a preliminary question, and must be first considered.
The original jurisdiction of this court is limited by the Constitution to cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls, and where a state is a party. Its appellate jurisdiction is regulated by acts of Congress. Under the common law, it can exercise no jurisdiction.
As this case cannot be brought under the head of original jurisdiction; if sustainable, it must be under the appellate power.
The 14th section of the Judiciary Act of 1789 provides, 'that the courts of the United States shall have power to issue writs of scire facias, habeas corpus, and all other writs not specially provided for by statute, which may be necessary for the exercise of their respective jurisdictions, and agreeable to the principles and usages of law. And that either of the justices of the Supreme Court, as well as judges of the District Courts, shall have power to grant writs of habeas corpus for the purpose of an inquiry into the cause of commitment: Provided that writs of habeas corpus shall in no case extend to prisoners in jail, unless where they are in custody under or by color of the authority of the United States, or are committed for trial before some court of the same, or are necessary to be brought into court to testify.'
It the trial of Dorr, it was insisted that the law of the state, under which he was prosecuted, was repugnant to the Constitution of the United States. And on this ground a writ of error is desired, under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act above named. That as the prayer for this writ can only be made by Dorr or by some one under his authority, and as access to him in prison is denied, it is insisted that the writ to bring him before the court is the only means through which this court can exercise jurisdiction in his case by a writ of error. Even if this were admitted, yet the question recurs, whether this court has power to issue the writ to bring him before it. That it has no such power under the common law is clear. And it is equally clear that the power nowhere exists, unless it be found in the 14th section above cited.
The power given to the courts, in this section, to issue writs of scire facias, habeas corpus, &c., as regards the writ of habeas corpus, is restricted by the proviso to cases where a prisoner is 'in custody under or by color of the authority of the United States, or has been committed for trial before some court of the same, or is necessary to be brought into court to testify.' This is so clear, from the language of the section, that any illustration of it would seem to be unnecessary. The words of the proviso are unambiguous. They admit of but one construction. And that they qualify and restrict the preceding provisions of the section is indisputable.
Neither this nor any other court of the United States, or judge thereof, can issue a habeas corpus to bring up a prisoner, who is in custody under a sentence or execution of a state court, for any other purpose than to be used as a witness. And it is immaterial whether the imprisonment be under civil or criminal process. As the law now stands, an individual, who may be indicted in a Circuit Court for treason against the United States, is beyond the power of federal courts and judges, if he be in custody under the authority of a state.
Dorr is in confinement under the sentence of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, consequently this court has no power to issue a habeas corpus to bring him before it. His presence here is not required as a witness, but to signify to the court whether he desires a writ of error to bring before this tribunal the record of his conviction.
The counsel in this application prays for a writ of error, but as it appears from his own admission that he does not act under the authority of Dorr, but at the request of his friends, the prayer cannot be granted. In this view it is unnecessary to decide whether the counsel has stated a case, which, with the authority of his client, entitles him to a writ of error.
The motion for a habeas corpus is overruled.

In some people who have long-lasting pain, biochemical changes are triggered in the body, causing a different type of chronic pain (neuropathic pain) that doctors currently find difficult to diagnose and treat. Pain signals are somehow triggered by the nervous system and continue to fire for months or even years. (It is also possible that certain brain chemicals that suppress pain do not work properly.)
Regardless of the cause, chronic pain syndrome affects all aspects of your life, straining relationships and making it difficult to keep up with work and home responsibilities. Common reactions to chronic pain over time include fear, frustration, anger, depression, and anxiety. These feelings can make it harder to manage chronic pain, especially if you use alcohol or drugs to deal with your symptoms.
Chronic pain often requires both counseling and medical treatment, because it can have a wearing effect on both the mind and the body. Think about getting treatment at a pain management clinic. You can get multidisciplinary treatment from a team of specialists there.
Some chronic pain clinics have a stronger emphasis on invasive treatment, such as injections and surgical procedures, than others. Look for a clinic that offers you a choice of noninvasive treatments, including cognitive-behavioral therapy. Before having an invasive pain treatment, ask your doctor about his or her experience with that treatment. Also, ask about research that shows how well it works for your condition.

text: Originally conceptualized as a two-piece between Nelson (Electronics/Voice) & Ruiz (Percussion) but later adding Francoso (Bass/Voice), the listening experience of the band's often 15-plus-minute-long, austere-patterned, minimalist soundscapes have a meditative quality about them, both brutal & beautiful at once, expanding organically via mechanical repetition. Obsolete lurches forward with an acoustic lull that somehow seamlessly transforms into an industrial amalgam, punctuated by the wailing chorus of unearthly electronics. The experience of the album is an ayahuasca trip through a robotic wasteland. Summoning an angry hidden power, the LP feels like a call to arms for the inhuman inhabitants of earth, speaking as much when in the midst of one of its winding percussive digressions as when vocals are present.

It's natural for parents to do whatever they can to keep their children safe and healthy, but children need space to learn and grow on their own, without Mom or Dad hovering over them, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association. The study, published in the journal Developmental Psychology, found that overcontrolling parenting can negatively affect a child's ability to manage his or her emotions and behavior.
"Our research showed that children with helicopter parents may be less able to deal with the challenging demands of growing up, especially with navigating the complex school environment," said Nicole B. Perry, PhD, from the University of Minnesota, and lead author of the study. "Children who cannot regulate their emotions and behavior effectively are more likely to act out in the classroom, to have a harder time making friends and to struggle in school."
Children rely on caregivers for guidance and understanding of their emotions. They need parents who are sensitive to their needs, who recognize when they are capable of managing a situation and who will guide them when emotional situations become too challenging. This helps children develop the ability to handle challenging situations on their own as they grow up, and leads to better mental and physical health, healthier social relationships and academic success. Managing emotions and behavior are fundamental skills that all children need to learn and overcontrolling parenting can limits those opportunities, according to Perry.
The researchers followed the same 422 children over the course of eight years and assessed them at ages 2, 5 and 10, as part of a study of social and emotional development. Children in the study were predominantly white and African-American and from economically diverse backgrounds. Data were collected from observations of parent-child interactions, teacher-reported responses and self-reports from the 10-year-olds.
During the observations, the research team asked the parents and children to play as they would at home.
"Helicopter parenting behavior we saw included parents constantly guiding their child by telling him or her what to play with, how to play with a toy, how to clean up after playtime and being too strict or demanding," said Perry. "The kids reacted in a variety of ways. Some became defiant, others were apathetic and some showed frustration."
Overcontrolling parenting when a child was 2 was associated with poorer emotional and behavioral regulation at age 5, the researchers found. Conversely, the greater a child's emotional regulation at age 5, the less likely he or she was to have emotional problems and the more likely he or she was to have better social skills and be more productive in school at age 10. Similarly, by age 10, children with better impulse control were less likely to experience emotional and social problems and were more likely to do better in school.
"Children who developed the ability to effectively calm themselves during distressing situations and to conduct themselves appropriately had an easier time adjusting to the increasingly difficult demands of preadolescent school environments," said Perry. "Our findings underscore the importance of educating often well-intentioned parents about supporting children's autonomy with handling emotional challenges."
Perry suggested that parents can help their children learn to control their emotions and behavior by talking with them about how to understand their feelings and by explaining what behaviors may result from feeling certain emotions, as well as the consequences of different responses. Then parents can help their children identify positive coping strategies, like deep breathing, listening to music, coloring or retreating to a quiet space.
"Parents can also set good examples for their children by using positive coping strategies to manage their own emotions and behavior when upset," said Perry.

Here it is. The last day of Write31!
Thanks for joining me on this journey and I look forward to writing more about this in the coming months.
But, to end well – what kind of hospitality should I talk about?
As I'm typing this, I'm about to head into a doctor's appointment to talk more about my newly diagnosed autoimmune disorder and how it is not cool with my body. I'm tired. Food plays a huge part in the way I feel. I'm getting use to taking medication every day – and for the rest of my life too.
And yall, I don't like being sick. I've been super healthy until I got married. I had a hard first pregnancy, an easy second one. Then I had more stomach issues (which I thought was all over since I had my gallbladder out many years ago). I had a cyst in my knee which I had to get removed. Now, autoimmune.
It makes me think about death. It makes me think about what is important and what isn't important. It makes me quote the truths of Scripture that I've known so many years and say them over and over to my soul.
God the Father through Christ is the most amazing example of hospitality to us. He created us, we rebelled against him, and through Jesus, those who believe in him will spend eternity sitting at his table, eating the King's fare. Being wrapped in love and in his glory.
My mothering verses come from Psalm 90-91. Here is just a portion of how hospitalilty Jesus is to us.
I hope you have enjoyed this series. Thanks for reading!

A commitment to strong and sustained investment in OneWorld functionality will enable international companies like us to continue to grow with NetSuite in the future."
Adding Oracle's global resources to NetSuite's existing global footprint provides rapid entry and expansion into new markets across three key areas:
Data Centers. Oracle NetSuite Global Business Unit plans to more than double its data center footprint from five data centers globally to 11. NetSuite currently operates five data centers, three in North America, one in Amsterdam, Netherlands and one in Dublin, Ireland. NetSuite expects to add a fourth North American data center in Chicago. As part of the global expansion plans, NetSuite will leverage existing Oracle data centers in Europe and Asia. In Europe, NetSuite is scheduled to open a data center in Frankfurt, Germany to remedy the lack of modern cloud computing offerings in the country.

United States v. Van Duzee, 140 U.S. 169 (1891)
United States v. Van Duzee
No. 1244
Argued March 12-13, 1891
Decided May 11, 1891
A clerk of a circuit or district court of the United States, receiving papers sent up in criminal cases by the commissioners before whom the examinations were had, may file them in the order and as they come from the commissioners, and is entitled to his fee for filing each such paper.
He may also charge for filing oaths, bonds and appointments of deputy marshals, jury commissioners, bailiffs, district attorneys and their assistants, and further for recording them if required by order of court or by custom to do so, but not for administering the oaths of office to them or preparing their official bonds.
He is also entitled to his legal charges for approving the accounts of such officers under the Act of February 22, 1875, 18 Stat. 333, c. 95.
He is also entitled to charge for furnishing a copy of an indictment to the defendant when ordered to do so by the court, but not otherwise.
He is also entitled to a fee for filing criminal cases sent up by a commissioner, but not for docketing the same unless indictment is found.
When the Treasury Department requires copies of orders for payment by the marshal of sums due to jurors and witnesses to be authenticated by the seal of the court, the clerk is entitled to his fee for affixing it, but not otherwise.
He is not entitled to a fee for entering an order for trial and recording a verdict in a criminal case, that charge being covered by the fee "for making dockets and indexes, issuing venire, taxing costs," etc.
Charges for filing praecipes for bench warrants are proper, but no such praecipe is required after sentence, the sentence being in itself an order for a mittimus.
When it is the practice in a district to require records to be made up in criminal cases, the clerk is entitled to charge for incorporating in it the transcript from the commissioner.
When, in a district there is a rule of court that the clerk, in issuing subpoenas in criminal cases, shall make copies to be left with witnesses, he is entitled to compensation for such copies.
This was an action brought to recover for services as clerk of the Circuit and Districts Courts of the United States for the Northern District of Iowa, the items of which were annexed to the petition. Judgment having been rendered in chanrobles.com-red
favor of petitioner for $516.16, 41 F.5d 1, an appeal was taken by the United States to this Court.
MR. JUSTICE BROWN delivered the opinion of the Court.
This account consists of ninety-nine separate items, which we proceed to consider in the order in which they appear in the demurrer filed in the court below, and in the opinion of the court.
1. The first series of items embraces the fees charged in forty-five criminal cases for filing the papers certified up by the commissioners before whom the examinations were had. In the majority of the cases, the number of papers filed by the clerk ranged from four to six, in a few they were eight in number, and in one sixteen. In the whole forty-five cases there were filed 267 papers. By Rev.Stat. § 828, the clerk is allowed ten cents "for filing and entering every declaration, plea, or other paper." By section 1014, the commissioners of the circuit court are required to return copies of the process as speedily as may be into the clerk's office of the court to which the defendant is bound over to appear, together with the recognizances of the witnesses for their appearance to testify in the case. In preparing the transcript of proceedings for transmission from a lower to a higher court, it is usual and proper to attach the papers together, with a suitable endorsement indicating their character as a transcript, and to treat them as one paper, and if in such case the original be sent up the same course should be pursued. If such papers are sent up separately, they are liable to be mixed with papers subsequently filed in the case, and produce confusion. Such transcript or papers are properly sent up as soon as the case is finished before the commissioner, and before action is taken chanrobles.com-red
by the grand jury. The accounting officers of the Treasury in this case seemed to assume either that the clerk should select certain papers and file those only or should fasten them together and file the bundle as one paper. The clerk, however, is not responsible for the manner in which such papers are transmitted by the commissioner, nor is it his duty to select out the complaint, the recognizance, or any other particular paper and say that that only should be filed. Because the statute allows the fee "for filing and entering," it does not necessarily follow that before he is entitled to the fee, he must enter every paper that he files upon his court docket. He may make the entry upon any proper book kept for the purpose. His duty is discharged by filing them as they are received, and the exception to his charge therefor is accordingly overruled.
2. The charges for filing the oaths, bonds, and appointments of deputy marshals, jury commissioners, bailiffs, district attorneys, and their assistants are properly made against the government, and should be allowed, and where, by order of the court or custom of the office, it is the practice to require such documents to be recorded or entered upon the journal, the clerk's fees for such services are also properly chargeable. But the expense of taking the oaths and executing the proper bonds are not so chargeable, since it is the duty of persons receiving appointments from the government to prepare and tender to the proper officer the oaths and bonds required by law -- in other words, to qualify themselves for the office. What shall be done with such qualifying papers does not concern them; their own duty is discharged by the tender of such papers properly executed according to law.
3. The same principle applies to the charges for approving the accounts of these officers. By the Act of February 22, 1875, 18 St. 333, c. 95,
"Before any bill of costs shall be taxed by any judge or other officer, or any account payable out of the money of the United States shall be allowed by any officer of the Treasury, in favor of clerks, marshals, or district attorneys, the party claiming such account shall render the same, with the vouchers and items thereof, to a United States
circuit or district court, and in presence of the district attorney or his sworn assistant, whose presence shall be noted on the record, prove in open court, to the satisfaction of the court, by his own oath or that of other persons having knowledge of the facts, to be attached to such account, that the services therein charged have been actually and necessarily performed as therein stated, and that the disbursements charged have been fully paid in lawful money, and the court shall thereupon upon cause to be entered of record an order approving or disapproving the account, as may be according to law and just. United States commissioners shall forward their accounts, duly verified by oath, to the district attorneys of their respective districts, by whom they shall be submitted for approval in open court, and the court shall pass upon the same in the manner aforesaid."
It follows from this section that the officer has performed his duty by "rendering" his account in proper form to the court, with the proper affidavit or oath in support of the actual and necessary performance of the services therein charged. He is not concerned with the method of verification adopted by the government for its own convenience and protection, and is no more liable for the expense of entering the orders of approval of such accounts, or for the certified copies of such orders, than he is for the expense of auditing such accounts at the Treasury the protection of the government, and the court to a certain extent the duties of an auditing officer, but such duties are imposed not for the benefit of the claimant, who is entitled to his statutory compensation for the services rendered, but for the protection of the services rendered, and for the expenses attendant thereon are proper charges against the government.
4. For copies of indictments furnished to defendants in criminal cases. By the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution,
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right . . . to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."
By § 1033, where a person is indicted for a capital offense, a copy chanrobles.com-red
of the indictment and list of the jurors and witnesses shall be delivered to him at least two entire days before his trial. There would appear to be a negative pregnant here, and it has accordingly been held that in cases not capital, the prisoner is not entitled to a copy of the indictment at government expense. United States v. Bickford, 4 Blatchford 337; United States v. Hare, 2 Wheeler C.C. 288. Nor is he entitled to a list of witnesses and jurors. United States v. Williams, 4 Cranch C.C. 372; United States v. Wood, 3 Wash.C.C. 440.
There is no other statutory provision for carrying out the constitutional obligation of the government to inform the prisoner of the nature and cause of the accusation or for summoning witnesses or procuring the assistance of counsel except that by § 878, indigent defendants are entitled to have their witnesses subpoenaed at the expense of the government. There is, however, no general obligation on the part of the government either to furnish copies of indictments, summon witnesses, or retain counsel for defendants or prisoners. The object of the constitutional provision was merely to secure those rights which by the ancient rules of the common law had been denied to them, but it was not contemplated that this should be done at the expense of the government. We have no doubt, however, of the power of the court to order a copy of the indictment to be furnished upon the request of the defendant and at the expense of the government, and when such order is made, the clerk is entitled to his fee for the copy. In many cases, however the defendant does not desire a copy, or pleads guilty to the indictment upon its being read to him, and in such cases there in no propriety in forcing a copy upon him and charging the government with the expense. This appears to have been the ruling of the court below, and we see no valid objection to it.
5. For docketing, indexing, and taxing costs in nine cases sent up from the commissioner's office in which the defendant was bound over to appear to answer an indictment by the grand jury. The grand jury, however, ignored the bills, and, of course, no indictment was ever filed. The fee bill allows chanrobles.com-red
"for making dockets and indexes, taxing costs, and other services in a cause which is dismissed or discontinued, . . . one dollar." The real question is whether papers so sent up and filed can be said to constitute of themselves a "cause" which should be docketed. While it is true that a criminal cause is begun in the commissioner's office by the filing of a complaint and the issuing of a warrant, it is equally true that there is no "cause" in the district or circuit court, within the meaning of the law, until an indictment or information is filed. Copies of the process before the commissioner are required by section 1014 to be returned as speedily as may be into the clerk's office of the court, together with the recognizances of the witnesses, etc. The filing of such transcript, however, is not the institution of a suit. The object of the provision seems to be to inform the district attorney of the fact that the defendant has been held to bail or committed to await the action of the grand jury, a proceeding which may be very necessary where the commissioner resides at a distance, and to enable him to prepare an indictment. For filing such papers we have held the clerk to be entitled to a fee, but it is not usual or proper to docket cases as such until the grand jury or district attorney has taken affirmative action in regard to them.
6. For seals affixed to copies of orders for payment by the marshal of sums due to jurors and witnesses. Section 855 requires the marshal, upon the order of the court, to be entered upon its minutes, to pay to jurors and witnesses all fees to which they appear by such order to be entitled, which sum is to be allowed him at the Treasury in his accounts. If the officers of the Treasury Department require a copy of such order to be authenticated not only by the signature of the clerk, but by the seal of the court, then of course the clerk is entitled to charge for affixing such seal. It is usual, however, as between officers of the same court and between such officers and those of the Treasury Department, to accept the signatures of each other as genuine, and under such circumstances the clerk has no right to impose the unnecessary burden of a seal. Jones v. United States, 39 F.4d 0; Singleton v. United chanrobles.com-red
States, 22 Ct.Cl. 118. The question is not so much what the law requires as a sufficient authentication of the copy of an order for formal proof of such order in a case upon trial, but what method of authentication the department requires. The department has the right to waive the formal proof which would be required in a court of law.
7. Objection is also made to fees for entering orders for trial and recording the verdict in thirty-eight criminal cases, the claim being that such services are included in the fee allowed
"for making dockets and indexes, issuing venire, taxing costs, and all other services on the trial or argument of a cause, where issue is joined and testimony given, three dollars."
The argument is made that the entry of an order for trial and the recording of the verdict are not services rendered upon the trial and argument of the cause, since the order for trial precedes the trial, and the verdict follows it. Referring to the clause in question, however, to determine what shall be deemed services on the trial of a case, we find that issuing venires and taxing costs are included among such services. The former of these certainly precedes the actual trial, and the latter follows not only the verdict, but the judgment. We think it follows from this that the docket fee was intended to include these services. If it does not, it is not easy to say what it was intended to cover.
8. Charges for filing praecipes for bench warrants are proper. It is not always that the district attorney desires the arrest of the defendant immediately upon the indictment's being returned to the court, and it is proper that the clerk should wait for instructions before issuing the bench warrant. These instructions are given in the form of a praecipe, and for filing such praecipe, the clerk is entitled to his fee. It appearing upon the finding of the court below that the filing of praecipes is in accordance with the settled practice of the court, there is no just reason why the clerk is not entitled to his fee therefor.
With regard to mittimuses after sentence, no such praecipe is required, the sentence of the court being that the defendant "be committed" until the fine be paid, or the terms of the sentence otherwise complied with. This is itself an order for chanrobles.com-red
a mittimus, and the district attorney has no right to interfere with the execution of the sentence. From the moment the sentence is pronounced, the case passes beyond the control or discretion of the district attorney. It is the mandate of the court, and is obligatory upon all its officers.
9. Charges for incorporating in the final record the transcript from the commissioner. There is no statute prescribing what record shall be kept by the clerk or how it shall be kept in criminal proceedings. Properly speaking, as we have already held, the transcript from the commissioner's office is no part of the case in the circuit or district court, but the court in this district has adopted a rule that
"in all criminal cases, unless otherwise specially ordered, the final record entered therein shall include the order made by the commissioner binding the party to appear before the grand jury if any such was made, the presentment therein, the bench warrant and return, the plea of defendant, the verdict of the jury, and the final order and sentence of the court thereon."
This rule, of course, is obligatory upon the clerk, and for his services in connection therewith he is entitled to compensation. He is therefore entitled to recover for so much of the record as includes "the order of the commissioner binding the party to appear before the grand jury." It is not the practice in all districts to require a record to be made up in criminal cases, but, as it seems to be the practice in Iowa, we see no objection to the allowance of the item.
10. To the allowance for copies of subpoenas furnished to the marshal for service upon witnesses objection is made upon the ground that by section 829, prescribing the fees of the marshal, he is allowed "for serving a writ of subpoena on a witness, fifty cents, and no further compensation shall be allowed for any copy, summons, or notice for a witness." This, however, was intended to apply only to the marshal, and when, as in this district, there is a rule of the court that the clerk in issuing subpoenas in criminal cases shall make copies to be left with witnesses, he is clearly entitled to compensation for such copies. When the clerk performs a service in obedience to an order of the court, he is as much entitled to chanrobles.com-red
compensation as if he were able to put his finger upon a particular clause of a statute authorizing compensation for such services.
These are the only questions considered in the opinion of the court below to which exception was taken, and, in the absence of an assignment of errors, we do not find it necessary to discuss all the items of the account.
The judgment of the district court must be reversed and vacated, and the case remanded, with directions to enter a new judgment in conformity to this opinion.

Over the last few years, I've noticed a decline in the number of my students who use cursive handwriting. In fact, I've seen a decline in the number of students who can even comprehend cursive handwriting. It would seem this is a pervasive trend: the Hartford Courant reports that with the advent of instant messaging, keyboarding, text messaging, and the like, students have abandoned cursive in favor of printing when they must handwrite something. I've also noticed a dramatic uptick on the number of complaints when students need to take notes. I can recall taking pages of notes as a student without complaint. I wonder if there is a correlation. Writing cursive is so much faster and involves much less movement with the hand. I imagine that students really do begin to feel pain after printing for long periods of time. My own handwriting is legible compared to most, but my students often report they can't read it. I honestly don't think it is so much that it's illegible as they don't know how.
Is it even important to know how to use cursive, in this age of computers? I would argue that it is still a useful skill, especially in note-taking, but I don't see the point in making it part of the high school curriculum, as one of my former colleagues did — she required her students to write in cursive. On the other hand, this complete inability to use cursive concerns me. It shuts off a whole realm of communication to students (even if it is, as has been argued, an archaic means of communication). For example, census images I've read while researching my family history were all taken down in cursive, and very few are available as transcriptions. I also experienced the recent joy of reading a diary my great-great-grandmother kept in 1893-1894 — in cursive. Had I not been able to read cursive, these documents would have been "lost" to me. In a way, it is a form of illiteracy. Recently, one of my students told me that he is having difficulty in Hebrew because his Hebrew teacher writes in cursive Hebrew — and he doesn't know the letters in cursive.
I just can't imagine not being able to read cursive. But then, when I was in high school, I wrote my friends seven-page notes instead of IM's.
