The generic American institution of higher education was turned into what Russell Kirk called "cow college"—or, more famously, "Behemoth U."—led by the empire-building "President Boomer." Instead of guiding students through a liberal course of study, Behemoth U. obscured the possibility of intellectual "health" by watering down curricular requirements: sociology became the most popular subject in the 1950s. Behemoth U. left individual students isolated and adrift, proving too big for a manageable intellectual community of friends that would foster paideia, true wisdom. In seeking to fit students for the modern world, Behemoth U. made them unfit. By seeking to educate everyone, it risked educating no one. By structuring a student's education according to his tastes and not to the traditions of his civilization, such education pragmatism played into the hands of academics who had already foregone all notions of absolute truth. American higher education was coming to reflect the hollowness of those tasked with defending its noble purpose.
The next great assault on higher education occurred twenty years after World War II, when the agnostic collectivists Buckley warned against were succeeded by a more radical generation. Seemingly spoiled by peace and prosperity unknown to their parents, students of the Baby Boom generation of the late 1960s resented the imposition of even the modest discipline remaining in American universities. The final abolition of the university's responsibility to stand in loco parentis with respect to its students naturally abetted a new wave of political radicalism. Marxist students, organized in Students for a Democratic Society, harnessed student anomie and reluctance to serve in Vietnam to a broader radical agenda. Opposing discipline and demanding curricular and student life changes to suit their wishes, they engaged in often anarchic violence: occupying administrative buildings, disrupting classes, and intimidating professors whose teachings they disapproved of. Most faculty and administrators lacked the fortitude to fulfill their responsibilities and put the young upstarts in their place; in any case, they themselves were often men of the Left who had little difference with the radicals in principle.
Conservatives for their part condemned the violence, sought to defend the civilized norms of academic life, and in general made use of the occasion to reflect on the besetting problems threatening to eclipse the entire enterprise of liberal learning in modern America. For example, conservatives observed that the growth of university enrollments to more than 40% of the college-age population inevitably meant that many attending university were not qualified to do so, and so an inchoate resentment was necessarily unleashed: the germ of student unrest. This theme has returned in the recent work of Charles Murray. Others in the period, men and women of the center-left who would soon be known as neoconservatives, were so dismayed by the capitulation of the universities to the radicals—and the threat this posed to liberal learning—that they moved toward the right. In publications such as Commentary, these "liberals mugged by reality" would produce much valuable analysis and criticism of the "affluent society" that produced and permitted the anarchy found on American campuses in the 1960s.
As the feverish carnival of the late 1960s wound down (in no small part because Richard Nixon ended the draft, and so students no longer faced the prospect of conscription into the war in Vietnam), student radicals who had been denouncing the university now began to join it—by going to graduate school and becoming professors themselves. So began the Left's "long march through the institutions." (Lately, some historians have begun to recognize that there was an "other side" of the 1960s—the rise at that time of conservative student organizations. But this dimension of our recent history remains marginal in mainstream accounts.)
Realizing that they might have thrown out the baby with the bathwater, some universities restored a semblance of core liberal arts curricula in the 1970s, but these reforms were short-lived: Stanford University's "Western Civ." program being a notable example. By the 1980s, the student radicals, now middle-aged, had received tenure or became administrators. But by this time postmodernism and deconstruction had become more fashionable than Marxism. Reason and rational discourse itself was considered a mere instrument by means of which white males oppressed women and racial and sexual minorities. Instead of carefully engaging classic works that had "selected themselves" into the canon by virtue of their excellence, the tenured radicals required students to read works representative of demographic groups previously not represented in core curricula, i.e., women and racial minorities. These postmodern multiculturalists wanted assigned readings to be determined according to interest-group representation rather than intellectual merit: after all, it was claimed, conceptions of merit merely reflected race, class, and gender allegiances.
Whole new disciplines—e.g., "Women's Studies" and "African-American Studies"—were invented to further these new commitments. Defending and promoting the Western tradition was indeed far from the minds of professors in these disciplines, but still farther was the notion of a course of study that ended in the attainment of truth that would be good for its own sake. Political ends were paramount. Universities were to perform the service of promoting social reform through affirmative action, research supporting progressive causes, etc. The "liberation" the proponents of postmodernism aimed at was that of liberating students from the allegedly racist, sexist, and imperialist Western heritage. Existing disciplines in the humanities—English, History, and the Classics—were corrupted by being brought into conformity with the new ideology. As a result, coherent liberal arts curricula based on Western Civ. were replaced with an amalgam of disparate "representative voices." Their goal was less education than indoctrination, not the broadening of intellectual horizons in order to close in on truth, but the indiscriminate opening of minds—"raising consciousness"—in order to attenuate or even eliminate personal, particular attachments to family, community, and religion.
What resulted from radical reforms of higher education—besides dramatically declining standards—was a new form of "illiberal education" that enforced a politically correct orthodoxy which condemned anything possibly offensive to the sensibilities of women and minorities. "Political correctness" was an expression used in the heyday of Joseph Stalin and his American fellow travelers to describe faithful adherence to Marxist orthodoxy and the Party line (used, of course, with a lack of irony characteristic of Communists). Modern leftists appropriated the term for college speech codes and an atmosphere of ideological conformity in the classroom that would ensure the student body's adherence to approved opinion. Political correctness inhibited free enquiry and speech codes often punished those who dared to question radical pieties. These abuses gave rise to a whole genre of exposes of universities' violations of free speech and free inquiry and an entire organization devoted to combating the anti-intellectual strictures of political correctness.

A tall ship teaches, and transports
Coast Guard training vessel readies for Operation Sail 2012
NEW YORK – She is, largely, a symbol: two hundred and ninety-five feet of what once was a time capsule for the public to come aboard, to touch, to think of a world where power came from the wind, and every inch of travel had to be earned.
But it is time to leave port, time for the Coast Guard cutter Eagle to make her transition from symbol to ship, to become what she really is: a teacher.
Eagle, like the other tall ships that will arrive in Boston Saturday for Operation Sail 2012, is a training vessel, a way for countries to teach their future maritime leaders how the ocean works when the best tools available are sweat, elbow grease, and experience.
With more than a million people expected to visit Boston's waterfront for the tall ships event, including a mock battle in the harbor and a July Fourth extravaganza, Eagle will be one of the most-visited attractions. It is one of two sailing vessels in active commission in the US military, and on July 4 it will escort the other, USS Constitution, as it makes its annual turnaround.
OpSail is the latest in a series of tall ships events dating back decades, efforts to give the public access to past and present-day warships and experience history up close. In May 1963, President John F. Kennedy, an enthusiastic sailor, said: "The sight of so many ships gathered from the distant corners of the world should remind us that strong, disciplined, and venturesome men still can find their way safely across uncertain and stormy seas."
Eagle is, despite its very American name, in fact, German in origin; it was built in Hamburg in 1936, and Adolf Hitler attended its christening. The United States took ownership as a war reparation in 1946, but had to rely on its German crew and captain to sail it to its new home port in New London, Conn.
As Eagle prepared to push off from a pier last month on the west side of Manhattan on Memorial Day, its lesson plan for the Coast Guard Academy cadets on board, many of them teenagers who have just finished their first year, was quite simple: make me move.
"It's a unique honor to be able to do something like this, because you're the one that puts everything in motion, cranking the sails, doing everything by hand, everything as a team," said Cadet Third Class Trevor Pennyweather. "And then you get to these moments when the ship is at its best, when the sails are up, it's sunset . . . it takes you back."
Its historical value is interesting, its beauty is unquestioned, and its symbolism is well established. So the question many ask is: Why train Coast Guard cadets on a sailboat when most will spend their careers on state-of-the-art motorized cutters?
The answer, according to Captain Eric Jones, is because the ways of old still have much to teach.
"Many of these cadets are accomplished in the individual sense," Jones said while standing on the rear deck as navigators nearby mapped out the ship's route with paper maps and compasses. "But here, no individual, even me, can accomplish anything. That old saying, 'We're all in the same boat,' comes from a boat like this. It's a humbling experience. Because Eagle is so labor-intensive, it's a demanding trainer, and that intense process is what allows us in four short years to make officers of these kids."
As Eagle made its way down the Hudson River toward the Atlantic, the symbolism was still very evident. People lined docks to take its photo. Smaller boats followed the ship, waving at the crew. As it passed in front of the Statue of Liberty, on Memorial Day, the busy cadets couldn't help but pause and soak in the symbolism. Others gathered on the port side where the Freedom Tower, nearing completion, shot into the skyline on the site of ground zero.
The moment almost feels staged, a setup for a postcard photographer. And while such visuals are important for the crew and the public image of the Coast Guard, the real value of Eagle is the work it demands, said Ensign Joseph Della Rosa, a Needham High grad who is part of the permanent crew on Eagle that trains the cadets.
"It's not just for show. It's not a museum," said Della Rosa, 30, one of the navigators who had planned the departure route. "It's definitely a source of pride, but this ship is all about attitude. Sometimes we'll have worked hard all day, then have an emergency 'sail station' in the middle of the night. But knowing that the public feels such pride when they look at us makes it all worth it."
The wind is light, so the ship leaves New York under the power of its engine. The plan is to head for a buoy far off the coast that marks the beginning of the ocean, pick up some cross winds coming up the coast, then raise the sails. With the motor running, the cadets have a chance to eat, to rest, and gossip – most have just experienced their first go through the legendary, and infamous, "Fleet Week" in New York – and gaze at the Manhattan skyline as it recedes into the distance.
Cadet First Class Emily Morrow, 23, a native of Springfield, said that it is in these quiet moments when one is reminded again of the beauty and majesty of "America's Tall Ship."
"You don't sit down during the day. Ever. There's always work," she said. "But at the end of the day, when we're under full sail, and you see a dolphin pod go by, it's just so rewarding.
"One of my favorite things to do when the work is done and we're under full sail is to lay on the boat deck and look at the stars. If the seas are calm and the wind is calm, it's so quiet. It's magic. I mean, how many times do you get to sail on a tall ship?"
The previous week, when they were sailing the Bermuda Triangle, the captain turned off all electronics and they navigated using only the stars.
When Eagle reached the ocean buoy, it was time for the Globe reporter and photographer to disembark as another transformation got underway, that of ship to sailboat. The cadets were in place, ropes in their hands, ready to work, as a Coast Guard cutter took the journalists back to land.
As the sun began to set, Eagle's sails rose. And with that came a tinge of jealousy from the Coasties on the motorized ship. Some had done time on Eagle. All were quiet as she bloomed into her full majesty.
"I've been hearing stories about it since I was 5 years old," Elizabeth Ansley said as the white sails rose up Eagle's mast. Her father had gone through the academy and sailed on Eagle, and someday, she said, she would like to do the same.
"It's just so beautiful."

Eurobike road: Canyon, Focus, Museeuw
More top-end road machines
Canyon will return to the ProTour – or whatever it will be known as next year – with the Belgian Silence-Lotto team after taking over sponsorship from Ridley.
The German company's last top-level sponsorship deal with the ill-fated Unibet.com team clearly didn't go as planned (though it undoubtedly netted both parties lots of publicity) but is surely looking for better fortune this time around with a two-pronged assault on the Grand Tours and the classics.
Canyons have long been known for being very stiff, often with the effect of making the ride a little harsh on the rider. With the new Ultimate CF SLX, though, the German company feels that it has come up with the perfect blend of stiffness and comfort.
By studying the way the vertical forces work on the frame – in movement rather than statically like others – Canyon claims to have increased compliance by 200% without compromising lateral stiffness.
A sub-300g fork and details like a CNC machined seat post clamp that uses a titanium bolt gives a claimed weight of under 1,200g for a frame and fork. Despite this though, Canyon claims that the CF SLX is tough enough for Leif Hoste's tilt at the Tour of Flanders as well as Cadel Evans' tilt at the Tour de France.
Now if they can just make it heavy enough…
To mount a serious Tour challenge, any contender needs a fast time trial bike, to this end Canyon presents the all-new Speedmax CF PRO. Equipped with the usual array of aerodynamic features like teardrop shaped tubes, internally routed cables and a seat tube cut out that wraps around the rear wheel, Canyon feels that the Speedmax is just the tool for the job.
Another feature common to many time trial bikes out there is an adjustable seat clamp that can move the saddle fore and aft to enable it to appeal to triathletes as well as conform to UCI regulations.
Focus hits the ProTour
German company Focus joins the peloton at its most elite level for the first time next year, providing the frames to the Milram team of sprint legend Erik Zabel. Rather cheekily, there were a number of Milram-liveried bikes on display in various areas of the Eurobike show while the team's contract with Colnago still has a few months to run.
The team will be riding the top of the range Izalco Extreme carbon frame, which features Focus' Stable Stiffness Per Size (SSPS) system. In simple terms, SPSS puts more material into larger size frames and less into smaller ones, a rather logical approach that an increasing number of companies have adopted.
The end result, says Focus, is that larger riders get the stronger and stiffer frames they need and smaller riders don't end up paying an unnecessary penalty in weight and ride harshness.
The Izalco Extreme main departure from the ordinary
The Milram team bike will be fitted with a SRAM Red groupset, FSA bars and stem (and seatpost as the display sample was a standard
For time trials, Focus will provide Milram with the Izalco Chrono. However, in reality, the Izalco Chrono is a re-badged frame from Swiss specialist builder Andy Walser – something that is very popular both within the German peloton and among other notable riders.
Museeuw Bikes won an IF Product Design Award at last year's Eurobike show thanks to its innovative use of flax fibres in the construction of its frames. For 2009, the Belgian legend's marque is introducing new models as well as making changes to its flagship frames.
The MF-1 sits at the head of the Museeuw fleet. Made with a front triangle of 50% carbon and 50% flax fibres, Museeuw has responded to customer feedback about the lack of visible flax below the clearcoat by switching the fibres so that the carbon is now on the inside and the flax outside.
On top of this, the flax proportion has been increased further by the addition of 50% flax fibres to the seat stays, which are now also tipped with full carbon dropouts.
More visible than the fibre layup though is the addition of an extended seat tube on the MF-1, promising further stiffness but also comfort right up to the saddle. We've had a previous generation MF-1 on long term test, so look out for that soon.
The previously three-model Museuw line-up has been boosted by the addition of two new, lower budget models. The MC-7 and Gran Fondo frames owe their lesser prices by the use of far less flax fibre than the others in the range (hence the "MC" moniker standing for Museeuw Carbon, rather than "MF" for Museeuw Flax).
Both have integrated seat posts and are aimed at the enthusiast with a lower budget, but who still want the kudos of flax fibre in their bike.
Museeuw bikes has also introduced a range of wheels after previously experiencing problems with production. The top two pairs, the MF-39 and MF-25 (with 39mm and 25mm sections respectively) are made with the same 50/50 flax/carbon material as the MF-1 frame and MF-9 forks.
These are strictly for tubulars only, but there are two sets of carbon/aluminium hoops for those who prefer clinchers.

Long involved in promoting swine health in China, the U.S. Grains Council's latest technical training program is helping Chinese swine producers improve the diagnosis and control of common swine diseases.
"We expect the mortality and farrowing rate will be improved on the farms where we were engaged," said Jason Yan, USGC technical program director in China. "Swine producers in China conduct many on-farm trials, but few of them design their experiments using proper statistical methods."
The on-farm training, conducted by Robert Morrison of the University of Minnesota, provided experience with clinical trial design, hypothesis tests and statistical methods for some of China's most advanced swine producers.
Morrison found significant room for improvement and wide interest in conducting trials directed at improving swine health. Participants were especially concerned about porcine circovirus (PCV) and hog cholera.
"I am constantly impressed by the intense desire of the Chinese producers and their technical staff to learn," Morrison said after the workshops.
As Chinese farms adopt updated technology, the Council will be able to use its online benchmarking program to measure health improvements made through the program.
"More pigs and successful expansion will increase feed grain utilization," Yan said.
China leads in world hog production, ending 2010 with 59 percent of the world's sows.

Artist Shepard Fairey is in Denver this week prepping for a big opening reception on Friday at Blackbook Gallery, but he's also leaving his mark on the city in a much more significant way.
Fairey's latest mural now graces the side of the Center for Visual Art's building at 965 Santa Fe Drive. The art building is the off-campus gallery of the Metropolitan State College of Denver, situated comfortably in the Santa Fe Arts District, and Fairey's mural features two classic cars, one on fire, under the words, "Bright Future."
The cars' license plates, "Empire" and "Nowhere," are separated by a logo that is familiar to fans of Fairey's graphics-intensive pop art — the eyes of deceased WWF wrestler Andre the Giant peering out from an iconic star.

Victory Root Beer Available in Bottles
The brewery's own root beer available by the case and the six-pack in Victory retail shop
DOWNINGTOWN, PA – Victory has been brewing its own root beer since 1997, but until May it was only available on draft in the brewpub. Now visitors to the Downingtown brewpub and retail shop can take the classic soda home, in cases or six-packs.
"Ron and I loved root beer growing up," owner Bill Covaleski said, "so when we started Victory Brewing Company, we knew we'd be brewing root beer as well as traditional beer. Thanks to our restaurant we've always been able to focus on appealing to people of all ages, not just the 21 and over crowd. Bottling root beer so everyone can enjoy a cold Victory at home just made sense."
Victory Root Beer currently can be purchased in the Victory retail shop for $5.99 per six-pack and $22.99 per case.

It was a week to recognize and celebrate the contributions of dads on the Orange Coast.
Father's Day2012 was the theme for the American Diabetes Assn.'s annual "Father of the Year" dinner held at the Grove of Anaheim.
A shoulder-to-shoulder crowd of citizens, including a major contingent from Newport-Mesa, turned out to honor four outstanding men for their service to family and community.
The Father's Day Council of Orange County joined with the American Diabetes Assn. to honor S. Michael Joseph of the Dacor Corp., Irvine Mayor Sukhee Kang, Quiksilver's Bob McNight and Tim Mead, media boss for the Angels. Surrounded by family members, each of the men shared his personal life story.
The audience of some 500 guests were silent, taking in each story — a rarity for any charity dinner, regardless of its seriousness.
Emceed by the talented Maria Hall-Brown, the event was supported by Dana Verrill, executive director of the Father's Day Council, and a number of dedicated men advancing the cause of diabetes research. Among the VIPs were Pat Galvin of the LNR Property Group; Mike Flynn of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; Sam King of King's Seafood; and Newport's Robert McClellan of the McClellan Nichols Sports Syndicate.
Fathers' Day was the theme for the annual car show on the coast, hosted by the Balboa Bay Club & Resort. West Coast Highway was buzzing with antique buggies and souped-up speedsters arriving for a perfect show & tell by the bay.
The annual event welcomes hundreds of spectators enjoying the SoCal car culture with family and friends and enjoying a BBC power burger to make the viewing complete.
Spotted in the crowd were the new owners of the legendary club, Richard and Donna Pickup, who were greeting the crowd, which included the distinguished Gen. William Lyon, his wife Willa Dean and son Billy Lyon.
BBC chairman of the board of governors John Wortmann greeted new BBC Chief Executive Todd Pickup with wife Natalie and sons Neil and Max. Also out and about for Father's Day were Gary and Sharon Katsaris, Mitch and Kim Axene, Kirk Dawson, Jerry Palajian, Karen and Jeff Linden and Lou Delmonico with his son, Drew.
Another popular Newport dad was honored recently at the Muscular Dystrophy Assn.'s "Gift of Hope Gala." The BBC was the setting for the annual black-tie evening honoring Ray Jacobi as "Man of The Year."
Nearly $500,000 was raised by an enthusiastic crowd, hosted by Lisa Sigell of CBS and KCAL9 TV. MDA chairman Frank DiBella and his wife Michele welcomed the generous contingent paying homage to The Ritz restaurateur extraordinaire Jacobi and the ongoing efforts of MDA fighting the horrific disease.
Supporting the cause were Mary Belle and S. Paul Musco, Art and Kris Kazarian, Milan Panic, Wayne and Sherry Smith, Jeff Reuter, Michael Cho, Wing Lam, Mike Russell, Kristilyn Goff and John Postma.
THE CROWD runs Thursdays and Saturdays. B.W. Cook is editor of the Bay Window, the official publication of the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.


text: Just to clarify: Hyperthreading was introduced in the Prestonia version of the Xeon processor, January 2002 I believe. This is the 13micron device rather than the previous Foster 18micron device. Speeds overlapped at launch, Xeon Prestonia was launched at I think 1.8, 2 and 2.2GHz, and Foster processors co-existed for a while. At this time the only products shipping with Xeons were workstation class products using the Intel 860 chipset - all server class products (e.g. those based on Intel 7500 and Serverworks GC class chipsets) came later and use Prestonia Xeons. Recently Intel have also incorporated Hyperthreading on Pentium 4. The confusion arises partly because of Intel's Pentium 4 and Xeon nomenclature. To be incredibly pedantic (sorry:-) the Pentium 4 is a single processor device, it has no ability to work in an SMP machine. The Xeon (note it is Xeon, not Pentium 4 Xeon) is the multi-processor variant of the Pentium 4, that is, it contains additional on-chip logic to allow it to work in an SMP machine (subject to an appropriate chipset). Note that there is no such thing as a Pentium 4 Xeon, unlike the Pentium III Xeon (also note the change from Roman to Arabic numerals). So - you can have a single processor system based on Pentium 4, you can have a single processor system based on Xeon (i.e. a system with only one Xeon processor in it (although there is not a lot of point)), and a multi-processor system of Xeons. Just to complete (and confuse further) the picture, there is also a device called the Xeon MP. This is a Xeon processor designed for 4-way and up SMP systems, containing larger caches but slower clock speeds. This device is still (at least I believe so) based on Foster (18 micron) technology but does include Hyperthreading. If anyone out there from Intel could confirm or add to this I'm sure we'd all appreciate it. So there you have it!

First lady, wife of the president of the United States.
Although the first lady's role has never been codified or officially defined, she figures prominently in the political and social life of the nation. Representative of her husband on official and ceremonial occasions both at home and abroad, the first lady is closely watched for some hint of her husband's thinking and for a clue to his future actions. Although unpaid and unelected, her prominence provides her a platform from which to influence behaviour and opinion, and popular first ladies have served as models for how American women should dress, speak, and cut their hair. Some first ladies have used their influence to affect legislation on important matters such as temperance reform, housing improvement, and women's rights. Although the wife of the president of the United States played a public role from the founding of the republic, the title first lady did not come into general use until much later, near the end of the 19th century. By the end of the 20th century, the title had been absorbed into other languages and was often used, without translation, for the wife of the nation's leader—even in countries where the leader's consort received far less attention and exerted much less influence than in the United States.
The early years
Because the framers of the Constitution left the chief executive considerable latitude in choosing advisers, he was able to seek counsel from a wide variety of friends and family, including his wife. The first president made decisions that highlighted the consort's role. When Martha Washington (first lady from 1789 to 1797) joined President George Washington in New York City a month after his April 1789 inauguration, she arrived on a conspicuous barge and was greeted as a public hero. The president had already arranged to combine his office and residence in one building, thus providing her with ample opportunity to receive his callers and participate in official functions. Although she refrained from taking a stand on important issues, she was carefully watched and widely hailed as "Lady Washington."
Abigail Adams (1797–1801), the wife of John Adams, enlarged what had been primarily a social role. She took an active part in the debate over the development of political parties, and she sometimes pointed out to her husband people she considered his enemies. Although she did not disdain the household management role that her predecessor had played (she oversaw the initial move to the new White House in Washington, D.C., in November 1800), critics focused on the political counsel she gave her husband, and some referred to her sarcastically as "Mrs. President."
Because Thomas Jefferson (1801–09) was a widower during his presidency, he often turned to the wife of Secretary of State James Madison to serve as hostess. Thus Dolley Madison had ample time (two Jefferson administrations and her husband's two terms, 1809–17) to leave a strong mark. With the assistance of architect Benjamin Latrobe, she decorated the president's residence elegantly and entertained frequently. Her egalitarian mix of guests increased her popularity. During the British assault on the White House in August 1814, near the end of the War of 1812, she provided for the rescue of some of the residence's first acquisitions, which endeared her to many Americans and solidified the role of the president's wife as overseer of the nation's most famous home.
Elizabeth Monroe (1817–25), the wife of James Monroe, appealed to elitists who insisted that the presidential family should illustrate "the very best" of American society, but she had few supporters among those who were more egalitarian. Although she helped her husband select furnishings for the presidential mansion, newly rebuilt after the British assault in 1814 (this furniture became prized possessions of later tenants), she entertained much less than Dolley Madison, and Washingtonians reacted by boycotting some of her parties. Louisa Adams (1825–29), the wife of John Quincy Adams, struggled with the same problem her predecessor had faced: how to deal with the tension already evident in American culture concerning whether the president's family should mix freely and live simply or reside in luxury and be revered from afar.
1829 to 1901
The presidential candidacy of Andrew Jackson illustrated how important the role of the president's wife could be. Rachel Jackson did not live to see her husband inaugurated, but earlier she had been attacked by the press, with one newspaper questioning whether she was qualified to serve "at the head of the female society of the United States."
By 1829 the outline for the job of president's wife was clear: hostess and social leader, keeper of the presidential residence, and role model for American women. When the president respected his wife's opinion (as John Adams did), she could also function as political counsel and strategist.
Between 1829 and 1900 many presidents' wives—such as Margaret Taylor (1849–50), who was chronically ill, and Jane Pierce (1853–57), whose son had been killed in a train accident—sought to avoid public attention by withdrawing behind invalidism and personal grief. Their husbands, as well as other presidents who were widowers or bachelors, often turned over hostess duties to young female relatives (daughters, daughters-in-law, or nieces), whose youth gained them admirers and excused their lapses in etiquette or lack of sophistication. Among the handful of 19th-century presidential wives who did seek a public role, Sarah Polk (1845–49), the wife of James Polk, was well versed in the political issues of the day and was considered a major influence on her husband. Mary Todd Lincoln (1861–65), the wife of Abraham Lincoln, though insecure in a visible role, prevailed on her husband to grant favours to friends and hangers-on. Julia Grant (1869–77), the wife of Ulysses S. Grant, was an extravagant and popular hostess during the Gilded Age and was the first of the presidents' wives to write an autobiography, though it was not published until 1975.
Before the Civil War the president's wife had remained a local figure, little known outside the capital, but in the last third of the 19th century she began to receive national attention. Magazines carried articles about her and the presidential family. With the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, travel across the country became easier, and Lucy Hayes (1877–81), the wife of Rutherford B. Hayes, became the first president's wife to travel from coast to coast. This exposure, plus her association with the popular temperance movement and her own simplicity in matters of dress and decoration, contributed to her immense popularity. After journalists hailed her as "first lady of the land," the title entered common usage. Following the production of a popular play, First Lady, in 1911, the title became still more popular, and in 1934 it entered Merriam-Webster's New International Dictionary.
1901 to 1953
In the 20th century—as the United States began to play a greater role in world affairs, as the president assumed increasing importance both at home and abroad, and as women's educational and job opportunities improved—the role of first lady grew considerably. Edith Roosevelt (1901–09), the wife of Theodore Roosevelt, extended the role in two ways: first, by hiring a secretary who publicized her activities and, second, by overseeing major architectural renovations to the Executive Mansion, which was officially renamed the White House by her husband.
Helen Taft (1909–13), the wife of William Howard Taft, was intensely political and ambitious for her husband, but she suffered a paralyzing stroke in May 1909 and for a year could not undertake public duties. Her major contribution as first lady was the planting of ornamental cherry trees in the capital. In 1914 her autobiography, Recollections of Full Years, became the first such book published by a president's wife during her lifetime.
Ellen Wilson (1913–14), the first wife of Woodrow Wilson, lived in the White House only 17 months before dying of kidney disease, but she advanced the cause of housing reform by bringing together specialists and legislators at the White House and by conducting tours of slum areas. When Congress passed a housing bill at the time of her death, she became the first president's wife to have her name so prominently attached to legislation. Edith Wilson (1915–21), Woodrow Wilson's second wife, was an attentive companion to her hardworking husband but was decidedly less devoted to reform. At the end of World War I in 1918, she accompanied him to the peace talks at Versailles, France, becoming the first president's wife to travel internationally amid such publicity. After the president suffered a stroke in October 1919, she served as a vigilant gatekeeper, monitoring all his visitors and messages. Critics complained of "petticoat government," though she later characterized her actions as simply watching over her husband's convalescence while making no major decisions herself. Historians remain divided over the exact nature of her role during this period.
Florence Harding (1921–23), the wife of Warren G. Harding, illustrated the extent to which Americans had come to accept that women—including first ladies—played an important role in public life. She had assisted in running her husband's newspaper in Marion, Ohio, and assumed a prominent social role when he went to Washington, D.C., as a U.S. senator in 1915. As first lady, she paid close attention to press coverage and kept the White House open to a wide variety of visitors.
Although some of her predecessors had gone to college, Grace Coolidge (1923–29), the wife of Calvin Coolidge, was the first president's wife to earn a university degree. Her enormous personal popularity offset her husband's reputation for laconic dourness. Often photographed in glamorous gowns or with some of her menagerie of animals, she also made news by attempting (unsuccessfully) to refurbish the family quarters of the White House with furniture from the colonial period.
Lou Hoover (1929–33), the wife of Herbert Hoover, held the same Stanford University degree as her husband, and the two had collaborated on the translation of an important mining textbook, but she distanced herself from the substantive decisions he made as president. Although she confined herself to domestic management and to leading widely approved causes such as the Girl Scouts and physical education for women, she set one precedent when she became the first president's wife to give speeches on national radio. Her effort to catalog White House holdings and to furnish one of the upstairs rooms as the Monroe Drawing Room foreshadowed later restoration efforts of her successors.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1933–45), the wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt, entered the White House with grave reservations about undertaking the job of first lady, but, before she left, she set new standards for how her successors would be judged. First lady for longer than any other woman, she extended the limits on what unelected, unappointed public figures could do. Her husband's paralysis as a result of poliomyelitis suffered in 1921 led her to travel for him, and she often said that she acted as his "eyes and ears." She was also motivated by her early exposure to reform movements and her feeling of responsibility toward others, gained from a family that had long been involved in liberal causes and that prominently featured its women as well as its men. In the 1920s her association with a network of politically powerful women helped to augment her zeal. Inspired by all these factors, she was an extremely active first lady, writing articles, giving speeches, and taking stands on controversial issues. Moreover, she was widely viewed as appealing to constituencies different from her husband's, including women, African Americans, youth, the poor, and others who had formerly felt shut out of the political process. Although she regularly disclaimed any influence, she was credited with gaining appointments to important posts for many individuals from these groups. Throughout her tenure she held regular press conferences, limiting attendance to women until the start of World War II, thus ensuring that news agencies would hire more women correspondents. Her continued participation in public affairs after her husband's death further underlined the prestige she held in her own right. As a U.S. representative to the United Nations, she helped to shape the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and secure its unanimous passage. She continued to be active in the Democratic Party in the 1950s, and in 1961 President John F. Kennedy named her chair of his Commission on the Status of Women, a post she held until her death in 1962.
The fact that Bess Truman (1945–53), the wife of Harry S. Truman, could achieve enormous popularity as first lady and yet act so differently from Eleanor Roosevelt showed how malleable the role of first lady had become. Intensely private, she refused to hold press conferences and revealed little when she answered written questions from reporters. As a result, the extent of her influence on her husband is difficult to assess. After leaving office, President Truman said that he had talked over his most important decisions with his wife because "her judgment was always good," but their daughter, Margaret, suggested that Bess Truman was not so closely involved.
1953 to 1977
Mamie Eisenhower (1953–61), the wife of Dwight D. Eisenhower, did not significantly change the role of first lady. Popular with many Americans for her down-to-earth style, she saw her first name attached to a hairstyle ("Mamie bangs") and a chocolate fudge recipe. Her press conferences were limited to social matters, and, when she published an article before the 1952 election, she refused to take sides, telling readers to vote for her husband or for Adlai Stevenson but to "please vote."
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1961–63) was, as the wife of John F. Kennedy, the youngest first lady in 75 years. She gained enormous popularity at home and abroad because of her youth, her glamour and style, and her two photogenic young children. The first president's wife to name her own press secretary, she struggled to guard her privacy. Her White House renovation, which was aimed at restoring the mansion to its original elegance, gained wide approval. In 1961 she established the White House Historical Association, which later facilitated the mansion's official designation as a museum (1988).
Lady Bird Johnson (1963–69) had been a member of Washington society for nearly three decades while her husband, Lyndon B. Johnson, served in the House of Representatives and the Senate. An efficient household administrator, she had also taken an active part in her husband's political campaigns, and during World War II she had briefly run his Washington office. By the presidential election of 1960, she was such a seasoned campaigner that Robert Kennedy credited her with carrying Texas for the Democrats. In 1964, when her husband's popularity in some parts of the country was low because of his support for civil rights, she undertook a whistle-stop campaign through the South. After he won the presidential election that year, she spearheaded a program that encouraged Americans to do more to improve the appearance of their neighbourhoods and that resulted in the Highway Beautification Act of 1965.
Pat Nixon (1969–74), the wife of Richard M. Nixon, also had a long Washington apprenticeship, but she received little credit for her accomplishments in the White House. A dutiful consort, she traveled thousands of miles, giving speeches and greeting potential voters. She opened the White House to groups that had not been invited before—including the blind, who were permitted to touch the furnishings—and she staged special holiday functions for senior citizens. Her program to encourage volunteerism never really caught on, however, and her reluctance to discuss her role or highlight her achievements diminished her place in history. Nevertheless, she continued to be named one of the most-admired American women long after she returned to private life.
Betty Ford (1974–77), the wife of Gerald R. Ford, often said that because she entered the White House in the wake of the Watergate affair, which forced Nixon's resignation, she felt an enormous responsibility to be candid. During a press conference within a month of becoming first lady, she openly expressed opinions that differed from her husband's on several important issues, including abortion. A few weeks later, after undergoing a mastectomy for breast cancer, she insisted on telling the truth instead of concealing the matter, as some of her predecessors had done during their own serious illnesses. Following her example, many women went for medical examinations, a fact that, as she later wrote, made her realize the power of the first lady. Some of the interviews she gave, including one in which she discussed her teenage daughter's sex life, led to criticism, but, on balance, Americans approved of her openness. After she left the White House, her confessions of alcoholism and drug dependence won additional approval.
1977 to present
Rosalynn Carter (1977–81), the wife of Jimmy Carter, broke new ground for first ladies in several ways. Eighteen months before the 1976 election, she began campaigning for her husband on her own. In 1977, soon after becoming first lady, she traveled to seven Latin American countries, where she met with political leaders and discussed substantive matters such as trade and defense. This marked a departure from the kind of "fact-finding" trips that Eleanor Roosevelt had undertaken, and, after encountering criticism, she confined future trips to ceremonial or goodwill missions. Nevertheless, she attended cabinet meetings when the subject of discussion interested her—the first president's wife to do so. She also made headlines by testifying in support of the Mental Health Systems Act before a committee of the U.S. Senate. After leaving the White House, she wrote First Lady from Plains, an insightful look at her husband's administration.
Nancy Reagan (1981–89), the wife of Ronald Reagan, insisted that she had little influence on her husband's decisions, but, before she left the White House, the New York Times wrote that she had "expanded the job of First Lady into a sort of Associate Presidency." She was often credited with influencing personnel decisions (both in hiring and firing), setting her husband's travel schedule, and shaping his agenda. She was criticized for what many considered "elitist" social behaviour and excessive spending, though private donors footed the bills. Her early association with a foster-grandparents program brought little favourable attention. However, her self-deprecating performance at a private dinner for journalists in 1982 and her leadership in an antidrug campaign, "Just Say No," increased her popularity.
Barbara Bush (1989–93), the wife of George Bush, followed tradition in refusing to specify how her own opinions differed from her husband's, and she was enormously popular for her personal style. White-haired and full-figured, she laughingly reported that there were "a lot of fat, white-haired wrinkled ladies…tickled pink" to see someone like themselves in the White House. Her association with a campaign to increase literacy also won her admirers, and all the revenue earned from her best-selling book about her dog Millie was donated to the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.
Hillary Rodham Clinton (1993–2001), the wife of Bill Clinton, entered the White House with a law degree, a successful career of her own, and connections to a large network of successful professionals, including other lawyers and activists. When she took an office in the West Wing of the White House (the first president's wife to do so) and was named by the president to head a task force on health care reform, many expected that she would carve out a substantive policy role for herself. Although the deliberations of the task force did not result in important legislation, they did highlight the first lady's power. After a group of physicians complained that she was not a "government official" and thus had no right to keep the task force meetings closed, a federal appeals court ruled in her favour, citing a long tradition of presidents' wives acting "as advisers and personal representatives of their husbands"; her appearance before five Congressional committees to discuss the recommendations of the task force focused attention on the leading role she had taken in health care reform. Her public pronouncements on foreign policy and her changing stance on several other issues were frequently criticized, and they sometimes even conflicted with positions taken by her husband's administration. But her social activism, her frequent trips abroad without the president, the interviews she gave before, during, and after her husband's impeachment, and her successful candidacy for a U.S. Senate seat from New York state in 2000 all highlighted the independent power that a first lady could attain.
Laura Welch Bush (2001–09), the wife of George W. Bush, was less of an activist than her predecessor but more of a public figure than her traditional mother-in-law. She publicly disagreed with her husband's position on Roe v. Wade (1973), the U.S. Supreme Court decision that guaranteed the legality of abortion (she supported the ruling, he opposed it); she also invited writers to the White House who had openly criticized her husband, and she agreed to testify before a Senate committee on education. In a more traditional vein, she organized a national book fair to promote literacy and to encourage Americans to use libraries, organized a foundation for American libraries, and devoted considerable time to comforting Americans after the September 11 attacks of 2001.
Michelle Obama (2009–17), the wife of Barack Obama, was the first African American first lady. A successful lawyer and a mother of two young children, she put her own unique stamp on the role, in part by promoting programs to improve child nutrition. In 2017 Melania Trump became first lady with the inauguration of her husband, Donald Trump, as president on January 20.
Since 1789 the role of first lady has changed considerably. Although still dependent on individual personalities, it has come to include involvement in political campaigns, management of the White House, championship of social causes, and representation of the president at official and ceremonial occasions. Because first ladies now typically publish their memoirs, which are viewed as potential sources of additional information about their husbands' administrations, and because the public is interested in these increasingly independent women in their own right, first ladies frequently remain a focus of attention long after their husbands' terms of office have ended.Betty Boyd Caroli

After leaving the garden for 4 months I got back to find it overgrown.
So I took these photos.
I quite like it when its overgrown. Its strange really because its only during the summer that it goes mad, i probably wont do a great deal much more now. Worth noting that I did get, as I usually do, a violation for this which is a letter from the council saying that my garden looks crap....
Its an interesting game just going round trying to find things!!!

If you're a diehard Android fan, chances are you prefer Google's pure Android "Nexus" devices. It started with the Nexus One in January 2010 and since then there have been nearly half a dozen Google branded Android devices, each made by different device makers. With the Galaxy Nexus coming up on a year of age and the Nexus 7 a sales success, we've been wondering: What does Google have in store for the next Nexus and what manufacturer will it collaborate with? Google could go with HTC, LG, Samsung, or Motorola for the new Nexus device; it could be something unusual we've never seen before; it could be a "phablet;" it could be a 10-inch iPad competitor; or it could be just another Android smartphone. It's time we place our bets.
As we fly toward the end of 2012 amidst a flurry of big tech releases from every direction, speculation is beginning to mount on what Google will release next. You won't be shocked to hear that the rumor mill is already grinding on this one and it looks like a three horse race. Skipping past the very believable rumor that Google will release a 3G or 4G version of the Nexus 7 very soon, we'll take a look at what delicious new device will be next in line to claim the Nexus moniker.
A new Samsung Nexus
By far, the most boring rumor currently circulating is that Samsung will be manufacturing a new Nexus device. This is based on leaked specs on the GT-I9260 device which suggest an updated Galaxy Nexus with a better CPU (1.5GHz Cortex-A9 dual-core), a microSD card slot, and a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display with a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels — or a screen fairly similar to the last Galaxy Nexus. This potential device would have an 8-megapixel camera and run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). The presence of that microSD card slot would seem to suggest this won't be the new Nexus, but you never know.
The fact that this has been so widely leaked and it looks like a minor update suggests to us that it won't be the next Nexus device. The Nexus line has always been used by Google to promote a new version of Android as well. Since the Nexus 7 already heralded the release of Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), we're skeptical that Google would spend its energy working on another Jelly Bean device, unless it's merely a Galaxy Nexus update.
HTC 5-inch phablet
This is more like it. A rumor you can really get your teeth into and chew around. An anonymous tip to GSM Arena suggests that the long-rumored HTC 5-inch phablet, the Droid Incredible X or One X5, will actually be the Google Nexus 5. Internally, this rumored device supposedly includes a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, a 1080p display (a first!), 12-megapixel camera, 2,500mAh battery, 64GB of internal memory for storage, and support for LTE.
To us, this phone sounds like competition for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but is the phablet (phone+tablet) a form factor that Google wants to get involved with? After the 7-inch Nexus 7, it seems plausible.
LG Optimus G variant
The new LG Optimus G signals a fresh assault on the premium Android smartphone market for LG. Just imagine a new Nexus smartphone based on LG's flagship. We could be looking at a quad-core Qualcomm S4 processor, 4.7-inch 720p True HD IPS Plus display, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal file storage, a 13-megapixel camera, NFC, LTE, and Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).
An Optimus Gexus would be a tempting package capable of taking on all-comers, including the iPhone 5. Google hasn't worked with LG on a Nexus device yet, but that fact could lend credence to the rumor. As the force behind Android, it's important Google doesn't favor one device manufacturer over another, so having already worked with HTC and Samsung, LG could be next in line.
We are seeing quite a bit of buzz about LG and the next Nexus from Android and Me. It reports that the new Nexus has already leaked and will be announced within the next 30 days. The sources are anonymous so we'll just have to wait and see.
Why not Motorola?
When Google acquired Motorola Mobility, there were expectations from many quarters that the partnership would bear hardware fruit. It seems as though concerns about slighting other Android partners have kept Google from working with Motorola on a Nexus device and that doesn't look likely to change in the near future.
Patrick Brady, Google's Director of Android Partner Engineering, spoke to CNET back in June and told them, "It was important for us when we acquired Motorola to stress to our partners that we weren't buying Motorola to get in the hardware business and compete directly with them. We acquired Motorola to help the ecosystem in terms of patents and intellectual property."
What about Android updates?
If you're excited about the prospect of Android 5 — which might be codenamed named "Key Lime Pie" — you might be jumping the gun. Android 4.2 has been spotted on server logs so it's obviously being tested. For all we know, it could be what will ship on the next Nexus. Jelly Bean was just a point release and it had a good range of improvements and new features though, so we can expect the same from the next version.
Of course, there might not be a new version. According to Chitika Insights, Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) only reached 1.47 percent of Android devices by the end of August. Will Google want to push yet another version of the platform out so soon?
When will we find out?
If Google is planning a new Nexus phone, a release before the holiday season would make a lot of sense. At least an updated Nexus smartphone seems likely, but there could be more. Google has launched a Nexus device section in its Google Play store, which indicates that more devices are to come. Andy Rubin is also set to speak at AllThingsD: Dive Into Mobile at the end of the month, so there could be some news there. We think Google will set up an event for the next Nexus release, though, so until we hear news of one, we wouldn't advise holding your breath.
Post a comment and let us know what you expect to see, or what you'd like to see, from Google next in the Nexus line-up.

We have Star Wars figures, Barbies, Pez, cast iron cars, you name it! Serious toy collectors have made Dixieland their go-to stop for adding to their collections, and you'll be hooked after your first visit, too!
Honeycomb Books
Nowhere has more antique and collectible vendors than Dixieland! We typically will have 12-15 different antique vendors, all with unique and funky inventory.

The problems with GaAs are economic, and perceived safety (not to mention the technological problem of controlling defects in the material ... EL2 was/is a fun one). Economic, as Silicon has a huge installed base, and you can't simply switch materials in the same foundery ... different materials do require different processes and machines ... which increases costs. There are no economies of scale for GaAs. Perceived safety as the high temperature grown GaAs required 5+ atmospheres of Arsenic gas at ~500C or thereabouts (quoting from memory) to maintain an equilibrated growth. Not too many people want to live near such a thing. There is a low temperature grown GaAs, though this has a number of defects you have to get better control over for devices. Its a shame, as GaAs is a direct bandgap, and is therefore much *faster* than Si at switching (no phonon mediation of valence<->conduction band needed, so fewer rate limiting steps are needed). I've heard estimates (12 years ago) of 3 order of magnitude faster transistors (estimated).
