- Harry Potter: "Bathilda Bagshot? The author of A History of Magic?"
- Elphias Doge: "Yes. A most gifted magical historian and an old friend of Albus's."
- Muriel: "Quite gaga these days, I've heard."
- — Harry Potter, Elphias Doge, and Muriel in 1997[src]
Professor Bathilda Bagshot (fl. 1881–1997) was a magical historian and the author of A History of Magic and approximately ten other books. A History of Magic is used in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry class of the same name, taught by Professor Binns. She lived in Godric's Hollow, and was murdered around December, 1997, after which her corpse was animated by Lord Voldemort to contain his snake Nagini.
Bathilda was also the great-aunt of Gellert Grindelwald, the infamous dark wizard who was defeated by Albus Dumbledore.
Early life
Professor Bagshot was born somewhere in the British Isles to the wizarding Bagshot family sometime in the early or mid nineteenth century. It is likely she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her youth, most likely earning an O.W.L. and/or N.E.W.T. in History of Magic, her area of expertise later in her life.[6]
The Dumbledores
- " [Kendra Dumbledore] slammed the door in my face when I went around to welcome her with a batch of homemade Cauldron Cakes. The first year they were there I only ever saw the two boys. Wouldn't have known there was a daughter if I hadn't been picking Plangentines by moonlight the winter after they moved in, and saw Kendra leading Ariana out into the back garden. Walked her round the lawn once, keeping a firm grip on her, then took her back inside. Didn't know what to make of it."
- —Bathilda Bagshot relays her reminiscences about the Dumbledores to Rita Skeeter.[src]
In the 1890s, Bagshot already lived as an adult in her house in Godric's Hollow, when Kendra Dumbledore moved there from Mould-on-the-Wold along with her young children Albus, Aberforth and Ariana, after her husband Percival's well-publicised arrest and imprisonment in Azkaban. Bathilda tried to befriend Kendra after they arrived, but she was rebuffed.[1]
Some years later, Bathilda sent an owl to Albus Dumbledore, then a Hogwarts student, having been favourably impressed by his paper on trans-species Transfiguration for the scholarly journal Transfiguration Today. This initial contract led to acquaintance with the rest of the Dumbledore family. At the time of Kendra's death, Bathilda was the only person in Godric's Hollow who was on speaking terms with her.[4]
The summer after Albus Dumbledore graduated from Hogwarts, an orphan and head of the family, Bathilda's great-nephew, Gellert Grindelwald, came to live with her and she made a point of introducing Grindelwald to Albus. The two talented young men became friends.[4] It is unknown how much or what Bathilda knew of her nephew's actions concerning Aberforth and Ariana Dumbledore, but she witnessed the fist-fight that broke out between the Dumbledore brothers at Ariana's funeral.[9]
In 1947, Bathilda's work on wizarding history was published under the title A History of Magic by Little Red Books.[10] It was presumably around this time she authored her other works on magical history.[11] She was deemed the most celebrated magical historian of the twentieth century.[12]
Bathilda may have been a teacher at some point, possibly at Hogwarts, as Hermione Granger refers to her as "Professor Bagshot" when referencing her work.[5]
Later years
- "We had a very quiet birthday tea, just us and old Bathilda, who has always been sweet to us, and who dotes on Harry. […] Bathilda drops in most days, she's a fascinating old thing with the most amazing stories about Dumbledore, I'm not sure he'd be pleased if he knew! I don't know how much to believe, actually, because it seems incredible that Dumbledore could ever have been friends with Gellert Grindelwald. I think her mind's going, personally!"
- —Excerpt from a letter from Lily Evans to Sirius Black, on Bathilda Bagshot and her son's first birthday.[src]
In her later years, Bathilda was on close terms with Lily Potter and even spoke to the younger woman on the closeness between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, though Lily remained somewhat sceptical, given Bathilda's advancing age and possible senility. Bathilda was also the only one to join the Potters during Harry Potter's birthday tea when he turned one year old.[8] Ron Weasley's great aunt Muriel called her "gaga" during Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding.[9]
Also sometime in her later life, Professor Bagshot provided a quote for the critical acclaim for Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp, when she wrote "Kennilworthy Whisp's painstaking research has uncovered a veritable treasure trove of hitherto unknown facts about the sport of warlocks. A fascinating read." as a review.[13]
- "Dear Batty, Thanks for your help. Here's a copy of the book; hope you like it. You said everything, even if you don't remember it. Rita."
- —Rita Skeeter's note to Bathilda.[src]
In 1997, after the death of Albus Dumbledore, Bathilda was interviewed by Rita Skeeter through Veritaserum, who used the material for her only semi-true biography The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.[4] It is implied that Skeeter took advantage of Bathilda's poor mental state to twist her material to be more sensationalist.
Death and Post Mortem
- "Finally, we regret to inform our listeners that the remains of Bathilda Bagshot have been discovered in Godric's Hollow. The evidence is that she died several months ago. The Order of the Phoenix informs us that her body showed unmistakable signs of injuries inflicted by Dark Magic."
- —Lee Jordan (code name "River"), during a Potterwatch broadcast in March, 1998.[src]
Sometime afterwards, Bathilda was murdered through the Dark Arts[14] and her body was animated by Lord Voldemort using his snake, Nagini. He left Nagini there as a trap, thinking that Harry Potter may visit Godric's Hollow to see his parents' grave and their home. On the following Christmas Eve, Hermione Granger and Harry did so, thinking that perhaps Dumbledore had left Godric Gryffindor's Sword there for them to be able to destroy the horcruxes they were hunting. The pair met the possessed woman and were almost captured when "Bathilda" lured them into her home. After determining Harry's identity, Nagini leapt from Bathilda's body to attack him, leaving the old woman for good. The plan, however, failed and Harry and Hermione escaped.[2]
Bathilda's body was later found, and her death by Dark magic was reported by Potterwatch.[14]
Physical appearance
- "She smelled bad, or perhaps it was her house: Harry wrinkled his nose as they sidled past her and pulled off the Cloak. Now that he was beside her, [Harry] realized how tiny she was; bowed down with age, she came barely level with his chest. She closed the door behind them, her knuckles blue and mottled against the peeling paint [...] Her eyes were thick with cataracts and sunken into folds of transparent skin, and her whole face was dotted with broken veins and liver spots [...] The odor of old age, of dust, of unwashed clothes and stale food intensified as she unwound a moth-eaten black shawl, revealing a head of scant white hair through which the scalp showed clearly."
- —Description.[src]
Professor Bagshot was a tiny woman (her head at the level of seventeen-year-old Harry Potter's chest). At the time that Harry Potter met her, she was stooped, her eyes were thick with cataracts, and her hair was scant and white, with her scalp clearly visible. Her face had some liver spots and broken veins.[2]
Personality and traits
- "Unfortunately, the brilliance that Bathilda exhibited earlier in her life has now dimmed. "The fire's lit, but the cauldron's empty," as Ivor Dillonsby put it to me, or, in Enid Smeek's slightly earthier phrase, "She's nutty as squirrel poo.""
- —Rita Skeeter, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.[src]
Little is known of Bathilda's personality. One can presume she was friendly and amiable, having tried to befriend Kendra Dumbledore in the 1890s with a batch of homemade Cauldron Cakes,[1] regarded Albus Dumbledore as something like a protégé,[4] and was friendly with Lily Potter in the early 1980s.[8] She was a brilliant witch and historian in her youth, but during her later years she had quite possibly becoming senile.[4]
Magical abilities and skills
- History of Magic: An authority in History of Magic, Professor Bagshot was referred to by some as the most celebrated magical historian of the twentieth century,[12] having authored A History of Magic[6] and ten other books on the subject.[11]
- Transfiguration: Professor Bagshot was knowledgeable in Transfiguration as she was a reader of the scholarly journal Transfiguration Today and had enough understanding in the subject to properly assess the quality of one of Albus Dumbledore's papers on the subject of trans-species Transfiguration.[4]
- Herbology: Bathilda kept magical plants in her back garden, such as Plangentines, and knew what the proper time was to pick them.[1]
- Cooking: Bathilda Bagshot also had an aptitude for the kitchen, baking batches of Cauldron Cakes in her youth.[1]
- Bathilda is an alternate spelling of the name of Saint Balthild, a seventh-century Anglo-Saxon noble and wife of King Clovis II of Burgundy who dedicated her later life to helping the ill and the poor. The name is derived from the Old English Bealdhild, meaning "bold battle".
- Bathilda is a German name that means "heroine".
- Bagshot is the name of a town in Surrey, England. The name is thought to be derived from a tribe (bacca) and the Anglo-saxon word for "The place of" (sheatte) meaning "the place of Bacca's tribe" though Bag could also mean badger, "the place of the Badger", creating a reference to Hufflepuff.
- Bathilda's last name, Bagshot, may also be a reference to The Lord of the Rings, in which the characters Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and Hamfast and Samwise Gamgee lived on Bagshot Row.
Behind the scenes
- Hazel Douglas portrayed Bathilda Bagshot in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
- It is possible that Bathilda's body was animated as an Inferius, and thus controlled by Voldemort's will. As Inferi are never shown to speak, this would account for why Nagini had to speak for her instead, but this is not necessarily the case because it was stated in the book that Nagini came out of her.
- Bathilda was incredibly old when she died, as she was a great aunt of Grindelwald in the 1890s, although her precise date of birth is not mentioned.
- A picture by concept artist Peter Mckinstry shows a photograph of Bathilda Bagshot and other academics sitting in a classroom at Hogwarts Castle. This seems to be a reference to the famous picture of the 1927 Solvay Conference on Quantum Mechanics, as both the clothes and the overall alignment of individuals are similar. In the picture, Bathilda seems to take the place of Marie Curie: in both pictures they are the only featured women, and they are both in a similar position and in a similar pose.
- In a The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore prop for the first part of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Bathilda Bagshot's name is poorly transcribed as "Batholith".[15]

The Heartland Institute, according to the Institute's web site, is a nonprofit "think tank" that questions the reality and import of climate change, second-hand smoke health hazards, and a host of other issues that might seem to require government regulation. A July 2011 Nature editorial points out the group's lack of credibility:
- "Despite criticizing climate scientists for being overconfident about their data, models and theories, the Heartland Institute proclaims a conspicuous confidence in single studies and grand interpretations....makes many bold assertions that are often questionable or misleading.... Many climate sceptics seem to review scientific data and studies not as scientists but as attorneys, magnifying doubts and treating incomplete explanations as falsehoods rather than signs of progress towards the truth. ... The Heartland Institute and its ilk are not trying to build a theory of anything. They have set the bar much lower, and are happy muddying the waters."[1]
Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
The Heartland Institute is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) as of 2010-2011.[2] It is a member of ALEC's Telecommunications and Information Technology Task Force,[3] Education Task Force,[4] Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force Financial Services Subcommittee[5] and Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force.[6] James Taylor, managing editor of the Heartland publication Environment & Climate News, spoke at the Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force meeting at the 2011 ALEC Annual Meeting.[6] Heartland was also an Exhibitor at ALEC's 2011 Annual Meeting.[7] Heartland has also functioned as a publisher and promoter of ALEC's model legislation.[8]
About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve "model" bills. Learn more at the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECexposed.org, and check out breaking news on our PRWatch.org site.
On its website Heartland states that it "is a genuinely independent source of research and commentary founded in Chicago, Illinois ....not affiliated with any political party, business, or foundation....tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3), [9]..."[10]
The institute was founded in 1984 by David H. Padden, now the President of Padco Lease Corporation, and Joseph L. Bast, Heartland's President and CEO.[11]
- "Heartland grew out of David H. Padden's Loop Libertarian League, a group that met monthly at the Union League Club in downtown Chicago to discuss politics and philosophy. The idea was to create a think tank in Chicago that would emulate larger D.C. think tanks--national organizations that produce excellent original research. Today, we ... fill a unique niche in the free-market movement as the only think tank that directly markets free-market ideas to the nation's legislators and opinion leaders."[12]
Nonprofit status
The Institute is a 501(c)(3), EIN #363309812, ruling date 12/1984.[5]
A public charity, *barely*
Heartland barely misses being classed more restrictively as a private foundation - according to its 2009 Form 990, "public support" made up just 33% of contributions for 2009 and 36% for 2008. (The bulk of support would have come from large donors.) (If public support falls below 33 1/3% for 2 years, it becomes a private foundation.)
A no-show in Illinois nonprofits database
The Institute did not appear in a mid-2011 search of the Illinois Attorney General's Charitable Database, for as yet unknown reasons.
Audience and products
Main audience is lawmakers
The Institute sees its primary audience as "the nation's 8,300 state and national elected officials and approximately 8,400 local government officials."[13]
5 publications and a documents database
For five of the Institute's priority policy areas, Heartland produces 20-page tabloid-sized monthly newspapers which are primarily distributed to elected officials, journalists and donors. (The five publications are Budget & Tax News, Environment & Climate News, Health Care News, Infotech & Telecom News and School Reform News.[13] Heartland also hosts PolicyBot, which it refers to as the "Internet's most extensive clearing-house for the work of free-market think tanks." The database contains 22,000 documents from 350 U.S. right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups.[14]
Heartland's publications such as Health Care News publish three months after events, and rely on college students and other freelance writers to develop content and obtain data and expert quotes without oversight.[citation needed]
According to Heartland website, its mission is "to discover and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems".[15] The Institute campaigns in support of:
- "Common-sense environmentalism", such as opposition to the the Kyoto Protocol aimed at countering global warming
- Genetically engineered crops and products;
- The privatization of public services;
- The introduction of school vouchers;
- The deregulation of health care insurance;
and against:
- What it refers to as "junk science" (science that that could indicate a need for regulation);
- Tobacco control measures such as tobacco tax increases (the Institute denies the adverse health effects of second-hand smoke);
A version of its mission stated, current until 2006, stated that Heartland was "devoted to turning ideas into social movements that empower people". Another think tank link to Heartland used a slightly different version of its mission statement: "Heartland's mission is to help build social movements in support of ideas that empower people".[16]
In a statement submitted to the charity research group, Guidestar, Heartland states that "people devote time to learn about subjects only if they believe acquiring specific knowledge will benefit them personally. Often, this seems unlikely. Consequently, most people choose rationally to remain ignorant about many public policy issues. The Heartland Institute has overcome the problem of 'rational ignorance' by inventing publications busy elected officials and the public will actually read and come to trust. Our publications are highly effective and inexpensive vehicles for communicating messages on public policy." [17]
Leaked documents
An anonymous donor called "Heartland Insider" released documents in February 2012 of the Heartland Institute's budget, fundraising plan, and Climate Strategy for 2012.
The 2012 Heartland Climate Strategy states that the Institute got $200,000 in 2011 from the Charles G. Koch Foundation, and nearly a million from an anonymous donor. Goals of the organization included:
- working with David E. Wojick on "providing [K-12 school] curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is controversial and uncertain - two key points that are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science";
- "sponsor[ing] the NIPCC [Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change] to undermine the official United Nation's IPCC [International Panel on Climate Change] reports" including paying "a team of writers $388,000 in 2011 to work on a series of editions of Climate Change Reconsidered"; and
- funding climate change deniers Craig Idso ($11,600 per month), Fred Singer ($5,000 a month), James Taylor who has written a lot about Climategate through his Forbes blog, and Anthony Watts ($90,000 for 2012) to challenge "warmist science essays that counter our own," including funding "external networks (such as WUWT [Watts Up With That?] and other groups capable of rapidly mobilizing responses to new scientific findings, news stories, or unfavorable blog posts)."[18]
The Institute later confirmed the authenticity of some of the released documents, but maintained in a Feb. 15, 2012 press release that the Climate Strategy was "a forgery apparently intended to defame and discredit The Heartland Institute."[19]
Scientist Peter Gleick Admits to Leaking Climate Documents
On February 19th, just weeks after the documents were released, Peter H. Gleick of the environmental group Pacific Institute admitted to the Huffington Post that he lied to obtain climate documents. In the article The Origin of the Heartland Documents Gleick verified that the documents were not altered. Glecik says he obtained an anonymous document in the mail describing what appeared to be details of the Heartland Institute's climate program strategy. In an attempt to verify these documents, Gleick solicited and received additional materials directly from the Heartland Institute under someone else's name. It was these documents that Gleick forwarded to a set of environmental journalists. [20]
Gleick offered his "personal apologies to all those affected," and said his judgment was clouded by his "frustration with the ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded and coordinated — to attack climate science and scientists … and by the lack of transparency of the organizations involved." [21]
Heartland Sends Threatening Emails
In the days and weeks following the release of the leaked documents, Heartland has been on an aggressive campaign to rid the information from the public domain. Heartland has targeted a number of bloggers who have reported on the matter. Under the premise that the leaked documents are a "fake memo" which were not created by anyone associated with the Heartland Institute, Heartland officials cited no laws while they "respectfully demanded" that the content be removed from DeSmogBlog.com in an email they titled, "Stolen and Faked Heartland Documents." This was the first in a series of emails sent out to bloggers across the internet where legal action was threatened. [22] [23]
In an attempt to explain why Heartland is doing this, co-founder of the Heartland Institute Joseph Bast writes "We realize this will be portrayed by some as a heavy-handed threat to free speech. But the First Amendment doesn't protect Internet fraud, and there is no right to defamatory speech." [24]
Gary Wamsley, A 71-year-old veteran received a threatening email from Joseph Bast after sending what Wamsley calls "a strongly worded email to the president and all the board members of the Heartland Institute," concerning his feelings on science education.
In the initial email Wamsley writes, "You should be ashamed of yourself. The United States already has a problem in keeping up with the rest of the world in science education and now you want to play a role in further destroying our nation as well as our planet...I did not spend 30 years in the military to protect the likes of you."
Bast replied asking Wamsley to apologize for the "intemperate and very offensive letter." He also writes, "since your letter is threatening, I've forwarded it to our legal counsel, forensics team, and the FBI. It is important that you not delete the email from your sent file, or any other emails you may have exchanged with other people while preparing it, since this could be evidence in criminal and civil cases." [25]
The climate scientists who had their emails stolen in a similar matter known as "Climategate" have turned Heartland's nonsense threats of legal action around on them. A letter sent to the Heartland Institute by the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund uses the threatening language of the Heartland Institute. The letter says, "[We] view the malicious and fraudulent manner in which the Climatic Research Unit documents were obtained and/or thereafter disseminated, as well as the repeated blogs about them as providing the basis for civil actions against those who obtained and/or disseminated them and blogged about them. The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund fully intends to pursue all possible actionable civil remedies to the fullest extent of the law." [26]
Operation Angry Badger
Leaked documents show that the Hearland-Institute is planning to spend $612,000 supporting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and four GOP Senators in their probable recall elections in a pro-Walker campaign they are calling "Operation Angry Badger."
In the leaked documents Heartland wrote: "The recall elections of 2012 amount to a referenda on collective bargaining reform at the state level, making them of national interest. Successful recalls would be a major setback to the national effort to rein in public-sector compensation and union power."
The documents propose a $612,000 campaign to include print ads, mailers, web ads, and blog posts that would promote the "successes" of Wisconsin Act 10 and portray Wisconsin teachers as overpaid and schools as underperforming. [27] [28]
Campaign Against Climate Science
The leaked documents offer a glimpse into the Heartland Institute's campaign against climate science. The documents suggest that Heartland is planning new push to undermine the teaching of global warming in public schools
The leaked documents outline plans to promote a curriculum that would cast doubt on the scientific finding that fossil fuel emissions endanger the long-term welfare of the planet. One particular document says, "Principals and teachers are heavily biased toward the alarmist perspective." [29]
Other Ties
Tobacco ties
See Heartland Institute and tobacco for extensive documentation of the Institute's tobacco ties.
See calved pages Heartland Institute personnel and Heartland Institute/Global warming experts.
"Global warming experts"
See Heartland's "global warming experts" list at Heartland Institute/Global warming experts.
(As a group, "Global warming experts" who minimize the risks of climate change have less expertise than those who don't.[30])
The Heartland Institute's Environmental "expert," James M. Taylor, is a lawyer based in Florida. Despite presenting a veneer of scientific expertise in their Environmental advocacy, the Heartland lacks any[citation needed] scientists trained to understand climate issues.
Actions and policy
Disputing global warming
Heartland's climate conferences
- March 2009, International Conference on Climate Change (2009), in New York.[32][33]
- June 2009, Third International Conference on Climate Change in Washington, DC on June 2, 2009 at the Washington Court Hotel, to "call attention to widespread dissent to the asserted 'consensus' on various aspects of climate change and global warming," according to Heartland's announcement of the event. "The conference's theme will be Climate Change: Scientific Debate and Economic Analysis. The theme reflects the fact that the scientific debate is not over and that economic analysis is more important than ever, now that legislation is being seriously considered. The real science and economics of climate change support the view that global warming is not a crisis and that immediate action to reduce emissions is not necessary. This is, in fact, the emerging consensus view of scientists outside the IPCC and most economists outside environmental advocacy groups," Heartland's website states. [34]
- May 2010, Fourth, Chicago
- Oct 2010, Fifth (Pacific Rim), Sydney, Australia
- June 2011, Sixth, Washington DC. Non-fringe climate scientist Scott Denning gave an excellent talk, pointing out that "climate will change a lot in the next generation and policy will be enacted" and yet "the political right has been AWOL in proposing effective solutions". He challenged his audience not to shirk their responsibility: "we need effective solutions...only a free market can bring this kind of change about...who will advocate for these solutions? If free market advocates shirk their responsibility, others will dictate the policy."[35],[36]
Conference funding
2009: Sponsors' main funder is Scaife
An analysis of the 2009 conference sponsors' corporate-and-foundation funding revealed 78% was from the Scaife foundations[37] of Richard Mellon Scaife.
Water policy
Heartland opposes the Great Lakes Water Resources Compact, which was signed into affect in December of 2005 by the governors of eight states that border the great lakes, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York, and the premiers of the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. As of 2008, the compact was ratified by all of the eight state legislatures. The compact was proposed in light of the unprecedented low levels of water in the lakes, which are now at the bottom end of the historical fluctuation range of 4-6 feet. In order to mitigate diminishing water levels, The compact will limit the consumption of water from the Great Lakes to areas within these eight states, or to areas outside of the boundary only by petition subject to strict regulation. [38] This new regulation also stemmed from proposals to ship water from the Great Lakes to other states like Arizona, or even out of the country into Asian water markets. [39]
In a research and commentary report released in March of 2007, the Heartland Institute criticized the compact, claiming water should be regulated through the market rather than through the government. [40] In this report, Heartland, as is typical of a free market think tank, contends that water is a commodity just like other resources, and should thus be regulated through market mechanisms. The report cites Terry Anderson, Director of the Property and Environment Research Center, arguing that "water rights should be allocated and traded in the marketplace, even if that means shipping water to Asia at the right price. It's no different than shipping out cars or iron ore." [40]
Foundation funders
Media Transparency lists Heartland as having received grants from a range of foundations between 1986 and 2009. Of these foundations, by far the largest donor has been the foundation of Chicago industrialist Barre Seid[41], maker of Tripp Lite surge protectors.
- Barbara and Barre Seid Foundation $1,037,977
- Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation $648,000
- Exxon Mobil $531,500
- Walton Family Foundation $400,000
- Sarah Scaife Foundation $325,000
- Charlotte and Walter Kohler Charitable Trust $190,500
- Jaquelin Hume Foundation $166,000
- Rodney Fund $135,000
- JM Foundation $82,000
- Castle Rock Foundation $70,000
- Roe Foundation $41,500
- John M. Olin Foundation $40,000
- Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation $40,000
- Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation $37,578
- Armstrong Foundation $30,000
- Hickory Foundation $13,000
- Carthage Foundation $10,000
Exxon funding
Greenpeace's ExxonSecrets website lists Heartland as having received $676,500 (unadjusted for inflation) from ExxonMobil between 1998 and 2006.[42] (As mentioned above, Heartland insist that Exxon has not contributed to the group since 2006.)[43]
Exxon contributions include:
- $30,000 in 1998;
- $115,000 in 2000;
- $90,000 in 2001;
- $15,000 in 2002;
- $85,000 for General Operating Support and $7,500 for their 19th Anniversary Benefit Dinner in 2003;
- $85,000 for General Operating Support and $15,000 for Climate Change Efforts in 2004; and
- $119,000 in 2005; and
- $115,000 in 2006.
Secrecy on funding sources
While Heartland once disclosed its major supporters, it now refuses to publicly disclose who its corporate and foundation funders are. In response to an article criticizing the think tank for its secrecy, the group's President, Joseph Bast, wrote in February 2005:
- "For many years, we provided a complete list of Heartland's corporate and foundation donors on this Web site and challenged other think tanks and advocacy groups to do the same. To our knowledge, not a single group followed our lead. However, critics who couldn't or wouldn't engage in fair debate over our ideas found the donor list a convenient place to find the names of unpopular companies or foundations, which they used in ad hominem attacks against us. Even reporters from time to time seemed to think reporting the identities of one or two donors--out of a list of hundreds--was a fair way of representing our funding or our motivation in taking the positions expressed in our publications. After much deliberation and with some regret, we now keep confidential the identities of all our donors."[44]
It has also claimed that "by not disclosing our donors, we keep the focus on the issue."[43]
Funding base
Diverse funding base, reports Heartland
According to Heartland,[6]
- "The following facts show that Heartland is not a "front group": ... Diverse funding base: Heartland has grown slowly over the years by cultivating a diverse base of donors who share its mission. Today it has approximately 2,000 supporters. In 2010 it received 48 percent of its income from foundations, 34 percent from corporations, and 14 percent from individuals. No corporate donor gave more than 5 percent of its annual budget."
Additional detail; funding source breakdown
Heartland stated that "in 2007 it received 71 percent of its income from foundations, 16 percent from corporations, and 11 percent from individuals. No corporate donor gave more than 5 percent of its annual budget ... ExxonMobil has not contributed to Heartland since 2006. Indeed, gifts from all energy companies - coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear - combined did not exceed 5 percent of Heartland's budget in 2007."[43] (Heartland states that its 2007 revenue was approximately $5.2 million.[43] Based on this Heartland statement, in 2007 foundations provided approximately $3.69 million, corporations contributed $832,000 and approximately 1,600 individuals[45] Energy companies -- "coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear" -- contributed approximately 5% or around $260,000.)
Unbalanced; 35% to 58% of support from just one donor
A single donor provided 35% of Heartland's revenue in 2009 and 58% in 2008[46], and 38% in 2007.[47]
Donations of software, source TBD
Heartland's 2009 Form 990 reports over $120,000 in donations of software, apparently from a single source.[48]
Corporate sponsorship options, and perks
In its 2008 annual report to supporters, Heartland outlines that corporate sponsorships start out at $10,000, with the next rung up being "silver" sponsors which contribute $25,000, "gold" sponsors donating $50,000 and "platinum" sponsors kicking in $100,000.[13]
Independent, or a lobby shop?
Heartland's 1999 letter said benefits of Platinum and Gold sponsorship included "special consideration of documents for promotion via PolicyFax", and "attention to issues of special concern in Intellectual Ammunition and other publications"(page 8+) - which, given Heartland's announced primary audience of legislators, would seem to amount to lobbying.
1999 funders internal data
A June 1999 Heartland document (page 8+) in the Tobacco Archives lists Heartland's then-recent corporate, foundation and individual donors, and, for the highest spenders, roughly how much they gave.
Among the Platinum Sponsors were the D & D Foundation, Philip Morris, Procter & Gamble, and the Barre Seid Foundation. Gold sponsors included the American Petroleum Institute and the Bradley Foundation.
Support for Heartland Institute
In May 2012, DeSmog Blog reported that the Heartland Institute had added the Illinois Coal Association (ICA) as a new "Gold Sponsor" for its 2012 ICCC-7 climate conference. ICA joined following the Heartland's leaked documents and Unabomber billboard campaign. In Heartland's leaked 2012 Fundraising plan, Murray Energy gave $100,000 in 2010 and was expected to give $40,000 in 2012; the company's subsidiary, The American Coal Company, is a member of the ICA.[49]
Phil Gonet, the chief lobbyist for ICA, said of the support for Heartland, "We support the work they are doing and so we thought we would finally make a contribution to the organization ... I made a contribution mainly in support of a conference that is designed to make balanced information available to the public on the issue of global warming ... In general, the message of the Heartland Institute is something the Illinois Coal Association supports."[50]
Heartland funds flow to NZ, Intl Climate Science Coalitions
In 2007, Heartland gave $25,000 to the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition and $45,000 to the International Climate Science Coalition.
Likely this funding continues; but the orgs' identities aren't provided
Heartland has likely continued to fund these groups; Heartland's Form 990s report it is still giving money to unnamed organizations outside the U.S.[51], and the 2009 990 identifies the donees' region as "East Asia and the Pacific"[52] but it too leaves the "name" field blank. (It's not clear whether Heartland monitors how these groups spend the money: according to the 990 "the organization [Heartland] is "friends of" the grant recipients therefore no major tracking is necessary"[53])
2010 Form 990
Heartland's 2010 Form 990 reports that the organization pays its president, [[Joseph Bast], $145,135 in "reportable compensation" for a 40-hour work week, although "Other Salaries and Wages" amounted to $1.2 million. Stated revenue was $6.07 million. The Heartland Institute made grants to the Pacific Research Institute ($50,000), the Council for Affordable Health ($20,000) and the Galen Institute ($43,000). [54]

"Despite criticizing climate scientists for being overconfident about their data, models and theories, the Heartland Institute proclaims a conspicuous confidence in single studies and grand interpretations. A 2009 report by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, which the institute supports, is well sourced and based on scientific papers. Yet it makes many bold assertions that are often questionable or misleading, and do not highlight the uncertainties. Many climate sceptics seem to review scientific data and studies not as scientists but as attorneys, magnifying doubts and treating incomplete explanations as falsehoods rather than signs of progress towards the truth"

short(redirected from shorts and sweet)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
One who has sold a contract to establish a market position and who has not yet closed out this position through an offsetting purchase; the opposite of a long position. Related: Long.
Short Position
The sale of a security or derivative, or the state of having sold one or the other. It is important to note that a short position is not closed, and is applied only to sales where further action may be required. For example, one who has borrowed securities and has then sold them is said to be have a short position with respect to that security, because he/she must eventually return an equivalent amount of the borrowed securities. Likewise, one who has sold (or written) an option is in a short position, because the option may be exercised at a later date. See also: Long position, Close a position.

Those are just amazing.. like a piece of true chocolate hazelnut heaven! yum!ReplyDelete
I love the chocolate / hazelnut combo probably better than PB & chocolate. These look so adorable! And delicious!ReplyDelete
Oh ambassador you are really spoiling us!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to make these myself. They look absolutely mouth-watering.ReplyDelete
I am so making these! Yummy!ReplyDelete
Glad these turned out & love your photos! Don't be surprised if you win a few fans with these. A friend of a friend even asked to buy a dozen :).ReplyDelete
These look fantastic and so sinful! I love how crispy Ferrero Rocher candies are.ReplyDelete
I might just have to make these today, they look absolutely delicious!ReplyDelete
Karolyn my children's sitter would TOTALLY love these! She loves chocolate. Through some hazelnuts in it and she's over the moon. I'm thinking she needs some a few of these to keep her happy!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2009 at 1:10 PM
Where did you buy the hazelnut extract?ReplyDelete
YUM YUM YUM!ReplyDelete
Hi. I just made these over the weekend and I have to let you know you that you list yogurt as an ingredient but it's nowhere to be found in the instructions. This is what you have listed: "whisk in the milk, molasses, vanilla and hazelnut extracts." I saw milk mentioned and wound up going to the original recipe. You also have baking powder listed but in your instructions you have combining flour with baking soda. I'm surprised no one else commented about these mistakes. - LizReplyDelete
Thanks Liz. Everything is fixed :)ReplyDelete
Hi There, This is looking absolutely delightful. Loved the new combo of ingredients and the recipe is so nicely made and presented. Saving this recipe of urs and wud love to give ur version a try on the coming weekend. Have a great day….Sonia !!!ReplyDelete
Hello - I have the same question as posted above but didn't see the answer, where can I find hazelnut extract? Can I substitute Kahlua liqueur (coffee liqueur)?ReplyDelete
Hi RA!ReplyDelete
Sorry I never answered that question, but hazelnut extract is pretty hard to find - I buy it online such as from Amazon.com and stuff. But you can definitely substitute Kahlua but Frangelico would probably work better since it's Hazelnut flavored! Hope that works :)
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2012 at 10:44 AM
I'm confused. You say to cut a cone and put Nutella in the centers, but in your picture, you've cut a cone and put the wafer cookies in the center. And I find absolutely no mention in the recipe of the wafer cookies...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2012 at 11:51 AM
are these mini or regular sized cupcakes?ReplyDelete
is the yogurt supposed to be natural? or vanilla flavored?ReplyDelete

Monday, February 20
The first "real" day back after our trip. We had a good mix of fun, both outdoor (it was almost 50 degrees!) and indoor, while I got unpacked and started on laundry.
Ethan discovered a cool new thing: he can "watch 3D shows" at home.
With sunglasses.
Cameron, while washing his hands after playing outside:
"Mommy, I can read that sign. It says, 'welcome'."
Me: "Great job, Cam. You are right."
Cameron: "And, I can read it backwards. It says, 'el...come....wuh'."
Tuesday, February 21
This stretch of warm weather has been so good for my littles. Truthfully, it would figure that we would get a winter with average temps of 50 degrees--considering I bought snowsuits for everyone last year (on clearance, of course--but still!) But, I can't say I'm sad about it! Other than missing out of some good pics of Lola in her first snow storm....
The wonderful warmth has definitely been a blessing.
Today, the kids went on a find and discover mission, with a mason jar and a couple of pairs of binoculars!
Lola has learned the word "Nutella" and asks for it regularly.
I have a hard time telling her no....because when Lolee gets Nutella for lunch, so does Mommy.
It's worth the cleanup.
Last time Grandma 'Nette came down, she brought some handmade goodies for Lola and her babies. She made Lola a flannel pillow and matching blanket--and matching (smaller) ones for her babies. Lola took to them instantly and has slept with everything every nap and night since.
{You can't see the flannel blanket in this picture--it is actually under the crocheted white blanket, which was also a gift from Grandma 'Nette. It has colored blocks on each side--and on each block it has the name of one of the children. She added each name as the kids were all born.}
Wednesday, February 22
We have a shoe tie-er! Officially!
Ah...so, so proud of himself!
{He is not posing weird...this is mid-celebratory dance}
Thursday, February 23
Ethan: "Mommy, were you born a long time ago?"
Me: "Yes, it was many years ago, honey. Thirty three years ago."
E: "Did you get to see Jesus back then?"
{Yikes, it wasn't that long ago....}
Pete the Policeman (a friend that I grew up with who is now a county sheriff) came over to the house, to let the boys check out his squad car! The loved every minute of it, and got to press all the buttons, light up the lights, and even talk through the loud speaker.
I'm sure the whole town heard them calling, "Momma....Moooomm-maaaaa" for several minutes!
(I'm fairly certain people thought we were in big trouble....)
The kids insisted on a bath together. They wanted to play with their new snakes that they got as a prize the night before at church for saying a verse.
It's a tight squeeze, but they make it work.
Friday, February 24
Lola: "I no wanna pay legos!"
Ethan: "Okay, baby."
Lo: "I no want to!"
E: "Okay, baby."
Lo: "No!! I no WANT to!"
E: "Lola, you don't have to play legos!"
10 seconds later....
Lola: "I wanna pay legos! I want to!"
E, not looking up from building and not missing a beat, to me: "She's difficult."
After serving the kids lunch, and before I started my ironing, I said to Ethan:
"Ethan, can I get you anything?"
I was trying to avoid being interrupted while ironing, of course.
He responded: "Can I have a drink Mommy?"
Me: "Of course, buddy. Milk, water....juice?"
E: "Well, I'd like some juice. But not the kind that looks like pee."
I nearly spit my mouthful of water out.
I opened the door, and sure enough--that white grape juice sure did resemble a jug half full of....well....you know. And, apparently, that was enough to make E not want to drink it.Normally, I buy a fruity or grape-y kind. But white grape happened to be on sale, so that was what I got this time.
Never again.
After eating, Lola told me she was all done. I said,
"Did you clean your plate?"
She looked down and slowly responded: "Yeeeeees!"
Then I saw her moving a bit....I came over, saw this:
Then, this.
Smart cookie.

Health insurance is a type of insurance that helps cover costs of expensive health, surgical, and medical costs. Among the many different types of payment medical providers support, your health care insurance can help reimburse what you paid or directly pay the provider itself. One of the easiest ways to help compare health plans in Ft Mitchell, KY is to receive your own free online quote via Wirefly. This is an easy to use and helpful service that can make finding and signing up for health insurance simple.
You can easily identify which health care plans are available to you through either your private insurance or your job's employers. If you're a senior citizen you can view your plans through Medicare and if you are part of a low income family you can view your plans through Medicare or Medicaid. However, another thing to keep in mind is what level of health care coverage you require. If you need to cover more serious injuries or preexisting conditions you will need higher-costing plans versus those who only need anticipate fewer health care needs.
For many individuals, one of the most difficult things about choosing a health insurance plan is not knowing what the future holds. You could end up with an insurance policy that doesn't fulfill your healthcare needs. To ensure the best results, you should base your decision on your past medical history.
If you are a relatively healthy person, you could save money by choosing an affordable health insurance plan that only pays for the basics such as an annual check-up or the occasional sick visit. However, if you have a serious health condition that requires you to see your doctor on a routine basis, a health insurance company that offers various coverage options would be a better choice.
An affordable option for individuals in Ft Mitchell, KY who only want health insurance for emergency situations would be catastrophic-only insurance. This is a good choice for those who rarely visit their doctor and only want health insurance if they are involved in a severe accident or have a sudden health issue that requires immediate medical assistance.
One thing to remember when comparing health insurance plans in Ft Mitchell, KY is if you have higher monthly premiums, you will also have better overall coverage. This is something to consider if you currently have a health condition such as heart disease or diabetes, and need quality, ongoing coverage.
Your lifestyle is another factor to think about when enrolling in a new health insurance plan. If you are an avid traveler, enjoy adventurous activities such as skydiving or mountain climbing, you will want to find an insurance plan that will cover visits to the emergency room for accidents or injuries.
Those searching for health insurance plans in Ft Mitchell, KY have many different types available. Some will have similar levels of coverage, but ease of use could vary significantly from plan to plan. It can be tricky to understand how types of plans work, considering choices include HMO, PPO, POS, HSA, HRA, FSA and MSA plans. The key is knowing the basic differences between all these plans.
With a health maintenance organization (HMO) plan, the policyholder selects one primary care physician to handle all his healthcare needs. The first step in getting any type of healthcare is going to this primary care physician, who evaluates the policy holder's situation and then refers him to a specialist when necessary. One benefit of HMO plans is that they tend to cost less in terms of monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs. There also aren't any deductibles. However, networks are also smaller and not all doctors will accept HMO plans.
A preferred provider organization (PPO) plan allows the policyholder to select any primary care physician in his network, and networks usually have a large number of healthcare providers available. The policy holder doesn't need to get a referral to see a specialist and can instead make an appointment with a specialist in the network at any time. This flexibility comes at a cost, as PPO plans also include deductibles and copayments. There is an annual limit on how much coverage the policyholder can get per year. While PPO plans provide some financial assistance on health care costs if the policyholder sees an out-of-network doctor, it's better to stay in network for more financial coverage.
A point of service (POS) plan serves as a balanced mix between an HMO and a PPO plan. The policyholder chooses a primary care physician from a network of a decent size, and there are no deductibles for in-network coverage. Copayments for in-network coverage are low. Out-of-network healthcare will result in much higher deductibles and copayments, though.
While the three plans mentioned above are the most common types, non-traditional health insurance plans in Ft Mitchell, KY are also available. These include health savings account (HSA), health reimbursement account (HRA), health flexible spending arrangement (FSA) and medical savings account (MSA) plans, all of which work similarly. The policyholder or his employer put money into a tax-exempt savings account, and he can then use that money to pay medical costs. These plans are very flexible. Some even roll over unused funds from one year to the next.
When considering a health care plan in Ft Mitchell, KY, there are a lot of terms that might be unfamiliar and can be difficult to understand for those who've never come across them before. A premium is a monthly cost that's paid to cover the health insurance plan that's being provided. Even if the insurance isn't used during the course of the year, the money isn't returned.
As for the deductible, certain plans will require the insured individual to pay a small portion of money for the healthcare service before insurance covers the remainder. This is typically set to an annual amount. On the other hand, out-of-pocket expenses are the amount that has actually been paid of the deductible. Upon reaching the deductible limit, the remainder of the costs will be covered. However, if the deductible has not been reached by the end of the year, the out-of-pocket costs will go back to $0.
Co-payments with an insurance plan involve any necessary costs during the initial visit to a doctor or physician. This is usually something low like $20 or $30 for a doctor's visit. If the services provided during the visit are covered by the insurance plan, the remainder of costs will be covered. Some plans come with a maximum benefit for an individual that extends to multiple years. Once this limit is reached, the insurance company may refuse to cover any additional healthcare costs. Thankfully, this limit is usually set very high and isn't allotted by all insurance providers. Some larger Ft Mitchell, KY businesses and corporations will offer group plans that are available to all employees. These plans tend to be more affordable than individual plans.
In today's world, more and more people are self-employed. Any individual that's self-employed, and even those who are currently unemployed, have the ability to purchase a private health insurance plan on an individual basis. The premiums for these plans can be more expensive, so make sure to weigh the benefits. Senior citizens will usually be able to receive government assistance through plans like Medicare and Medicaid. These plans are typically available to anyone 65 years of age and older, though younger people with severe disabilities may also apply. To identify which health plans are best, simply speak with your doctor, as they have a better understanding of your healthcare needs. When changing health care plans, make sure that the primary care physician knows about this change. The actual provider of the insurance plan will be able to answer any questions.
People do not want to have huge medical bills, and health insurance will keep individuals from being burdened with a large amount of debt. Many things influence the plan and rates of health insurance. However, with Wirefly, individuals just enters their ZIP code, and they will be presented with health insurance quotes. It is so simple.
Remember that the lowest cost is not always the best coverage for a person. If an individual intends to get married and have children in the future, they need to make sure they have covered for maternity bills. People should not just try to save money without getting the coverage they need. Health insurance coverage is not cheap, but it is better than having huge medical expenses. We can help find people the best insurance plans in Ft Mitchell, KY. We will get individuals quotes, so they can save money.

# Murmur configuration file.
# General notes:
# * Settings in this file are default settings and many of them can be overridden
# with virtual server specific configuration via the Ice or DBus interface.
# * Due to the way this configuration file is read some rules have to be
# followed when specifying variable values (as in variable = value):
# * Make sure to quote the value when using commas in strings or passwords.
# NOT variable = super,secret BUT variable = "super,secret"
# * Make sure to escape special characters like '\' or '"' correctly
# NOT variable = """ BUT variable = "\""
# NOT regex = \w* BUT regex = \\w*
# Path to database. If blank, will search for
# murmur.sqlite in default locations or create it if not found.
# If you wish to use something other than SQLite, you'll need to set the name
# of the database above, and also uncomment the below.
# Sticking with SQLite is strongly recommended, as it's the most well tested
# and by far the fastest solution.
# Murmur defaults to not using D-Bus. If you wish to use dbus, which is one of the
# RPC methods available in Murmur, please specify so here.
# Alternate D-Bus service name. Only use if you are running distinct
# murmurd processes connected to the same D-Bus daemon.
# If you want to use ZeroC Ice to communicate with Murmur, you need
# to specify the endpoint to use. Since there is no authentication
# with ICE, you should only use it if you trust all the users who have
# shell access to your machine.
# Please see the ICE documentation on how to specify endpoints.
ice="tcp -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6502"
# Ice primarily uses local sockets. This means anyone who has a
# user account on your machine can connect to the Ice services.
# You can set a plaintext "secret" on the Ice connection, and
# any script attempting to access must then have this secret
# (as context with name "secret").
# Access is split in read (look only) and write (modify)
# operations. Write access always includes read access,
# unless read is explicitly denied (see note below).
# Note that if this is uncommented and with empty content,
# access will be denied.
# How many login attempts do we tolerate from one IP
# inside a given timeframe before we ban the connection?
# Note that this is global (shared between all virtual servers), and that
# it counts both successfull and unsuccessfull connection attempts.
# Set either Attempts or Timeframe to 0 to disable.

My fault, that was the original build. The computer was rebuilt with wini7 in 64 bit.
The reason for all the fans was mainly for looks. The rebuild is in an Antec DF-85 which keeps it plenty cool. The only thing I don't like about this case is that the plastic thingies in the front have to be opened
to get to the dvd player and the stinkin' default in win7 is that if you have to CLICK on the dvd player in windows explorer, the tray pops out and of course, if you have something
in front of it, then it keeps trying to pop up all the time. HIGHLY irritating. They tell me I can take away the win explorer burn option but dammit, I like it. Microsoft sucks!
Yep, everything is important but in this case I think my problem for the particular use is ACCESS of all the files.
As for lifting the puter, no problem, I don't need to.
As for networking stuff, no thanks, I've had enough of networks slowing things down and I DO have a network. I have an unRaid server that holds
15 drives so I'm just going to try to sell these (NOT the server) and get something new.
Yep, beers make you see some things in a new light
By the way, I have enough usb ports right now. The mobo has ten and I have a few in the front. Plenty as I've cut down on the requirements including
the wireless print adapters and the dual keyboard setup so right there that's five usb ports saved.
I just actually bought a second monitor that came in today and I want to try a new monitor that just came out at 27" and 2560x1440 resolution (or whatever the exact numbers are).
I may even do a matrix switch for it all as I am going to have a separate computer at some point for a surveillance system.
Here's an example... http://www.extuff.biz/images/bikes/AV-C ... t-1200.gif
4 inputs and 2 outputs. I could get 4 outputs but that doubles or triples the price of the switch so I just limit myself to be able to display the most
important things on monitor B.
D is my main computer, T is the server (for tower) and s is the surveillance computer

Yeah I was wondering why you would go to the highest-end kind of build which is an LGA 2011 machine. SO you don't do gaming but do graphics stuff and rendering? Am I correct?
Second, what's your budget? that LGA 2011 build suggestion is kinda overkill if you ask me depending on what kind of applications you run. If you can specify them, we can help you much better like if you do hardcore CAD or blender stuff or just basic photoshop and coreldraw stuff. An LGA 1155 ivy bridge build could be the best.

CHICO >> The Butte County Coroner's Office has identified the woman found dead in Bidwell Park Thursday morning as 56-year-old Diana Surak of Chico.
At approximately 8:30 a.m., a passerby notified Chico police that there was a woman near Big Chico Creek upstream from Annie's Glen who was face down and appeared unconscious. Responding firefighters and medical personnel confirmed she had died.
Police will continue to investigate the incident pending results of an autopsy but said there was no indication of foul play. She was found in an area near homeless encampments, but police said she was not homeless. People identifying themselves as her relatives described her on Facebook on Friday as dedicated mother, grandmother and friend.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine a cause of death.
