Marco Rubio's Speech From CPAC 2010
by TexasGOPVote on February 18, 2010 at 2:10 PM
Marco Rubio gave an outstanding keynote speech at the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) today. The transcript of his speech follows:
Thank you so much. Thank you. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Senator DeMint, who believed in me when, really, the only people -- most of the people that believed in me lived in my house. And thank you to CPAC. I'm really honored that you have me here today in Washington.
You know, a week ago we didn't know we were going to make it here. We were watching the -- all the images of that winter weather, the extraordinary blizzard that even impacted government. I don't know if you know this, but the Congress couldn't meet to vote on bills. The regulatory agencies couldn't meet to set any regulations, either. And the president couldn't find anywhere to set up a teleprompter to announce new taxes.
You know, now that I come to think of it, the blizzard may be the best thing to happen to the American economy in 12 months.
I also want to take a moment and recognize all of you folks that came up from Florida that are here today. I know I saw some of the Young Republicans from the University of Central Florida here, and I wanted to recognize them. Thank you.
And finally, my wife was able to join us here today. See -- I told you people really come to my speeches.
You know, as I reflect on this campaign, not to mention all the opportunities that I've had in my life, it often reminds me of my grandfather. My grandfather was an enormous influence on me growing up. He was born in 1899 to a poor, rural family in Cuba. When he was a very young man, he had polio, and it permanently disabled him. So he couldn't work the farm, and so they sent him away to school. In fact, he became the only member of his family that can read. And he would read anything and everything he could.
Now, when I was growing up my grandfather lived with us. And on many days I would sit on the porch of our home and listen to him tell me stories about history, about politics and about baseball, as he puffed one of his three daily cigars.
Now, it's been over 27 years since I've sat on that porch. And so all the details of the things he told me are not as clear as they once were. But there's one thing I vividly remember. It was a powerful sentiment that he wanted to make sure I understood. And that was because -- and that was this: that because of where he was born and who he was born to, there was only so much he was able to accomplish. But he wanted me to know that I would not have those limits, that there was no dreams, no ambitions, no aspirations unavailable to me. And he was right.
See, I was not born to a wealthy or connected family. And yet I have never felt limited by the circumstances of my birth. I have never once felt that there was something I couldn't do because of who my parents were or weren't. Now, why is it that I've been able to accomplish the things that my grandfather could not? Why did my dreams have the chance that his didn't?
The answer is simple. Because I am privileged. I am privileged to be a citizen of the single greatest society in all of human history. There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government -- principles that recognize that because all of us are equal in the eyes of our creator, all life is sacred at every stage of life.
Yeah. These principles embody the commitment to individual liberty which has made us the freest people in history. They also made possible our free-enterprise economy, which has made us the most prosperous people in history. The result is an America where -- which is the only place in the world where it doesn't matter who your parents were or where you came from. You can be anything you are willing to work hard to be. The result is the only economy in the world where poor people with a better idea and a strong work ethic can compete and succeed against rich people in the marketplace and competition. And the result is the most reliable defender of freedom in the history of the world.
Simply put, there's nothing like America in all the world. And even today with the problems that we face, who would you rather be? Which country would you trade places with? Just remember, an afterthought, when was the last time that you heard news accounts about a boatload of American refugees arriving on the shores of another country? And yet there have always have been those who haven't seen it this way. There have always been those that don't recognize this. They think that we need a guardian class in American government to protect us from ourselves. They think that the free-enterprise system is unfair, that a few people make a lot of money, and the rest of us get left behind. They believe that the only way business can make its money is by exploiting its workers and its customers. And they think that America's enemies exist because of something America did to earn their enmity.
Now, the problem is that in 2008 leaders with this worldview won elections. And now they know that the American people will never support their vision of America. So, instead, over the last 12 months they have used a severe economic downturn, a severe recession as an excuse to implement the statist policies that they have longed for all this time. In essence, they are using this downturn as cover not to fix America, but to try to change America to fundamentally redefine the role of government in our lives and the role of America in the world.
And let's remember that the expansion of government at home has implications abroad for our country. Now, this growth in our government's being funded by borrowed money. And almost half this money is held in foreign countries. In fact, one of them, China, every time we say something they don't agree with, they remind us of that. The good news is that it didn't take long for the American people to figure all this out.
And now as we near these midterm elections, what the American people are looking for is very clear. They are looking for leaders that understand what has happened, will come up here and stand up against it, and in its place will offer a clear alternative. First, we have to understand what's happening. Leaders at the highest levels of our government are undertaking a deliberate and systematic effort to redefine our government, our economy and our country. Now, people, as I said, all across America figured this out over a year ago, and they didn't wait for their senator or for their congressman to do something about it. They did it themselves. They have taken matters into their own hands, from tea parties to the election in Massachusetts.
From tea parties to the election in Massachusetts, we are witnessing the single greatest political pushback in American history. Now, the political class tries to make sense of all of this, but they can't, because never has the political class or the mainstream media that covers them been more out of touch with the American people than they are today. You see, 2010 is not just a choice between Republicans and Democrats. It's not just a choice between liberals and conservatives. 2010 is a referendum on the very identity of our nation.
And the issues are so big, so consequential, so generational that many of the old rules of political engagement will not apply. For example, a long list of early establishment endorsements will not spare you a primary. Clever one line slogans aren't going to spare you the need to discuss policy issues in detail. And the old, tired political attacks that worked once in the past aren't going to get you elected this time.
And the reason is simple because people get it, because they understand that if we get this wrong, there may be no turning back for America. That's why the second thing leaders want -- the second thing that people want are leaders that will come here to Washington, D.C. and stand up to this big government agenda, not be co-opted by it.
After all, the U.S. Senate already has one Arlen Specter too many. And after all, America already has a Democrat Party, it doesn't need two Democrat parties.
Now, look, it's true, Americans do want leaders that will come to Washington, D.C. and work together to get things done, but that comes with a very important caveat, it depends what they're trying to do. If they're working to lower tax rates, simplify the tax code, they want us to work together. If they're working to get control of a runaway of a federal debt and annual deficits, they want us to work together.
If they're working to defeat radical Islam and the threat that it poses through terrorism, they want us to work together.
However, however, if the goal is to abandon America's free enterprise economy, if the goal is to convert America into a submissive member of the international community, if the goal is not to fix America, but to change America, then they want leaders that are going to come up here and fight it every step of the way.
That cheer -- I don't know what that one was, but that Marco cheer always worries me because I'm always afraid that someone is going to starting screaming, "polo," and would ruin the speech.
Thank you.
Finally, voters are looking for leaders that will offer a clear alternative. You know, this severe economic downturn is a perfect time to embrace and reinvigorate the free enterprise economy, not to abandon it. And look, jobs aren't created by politicians; they're created by people who are willing to use their money to start a business or expand an existing one. And what they're looking for are clear signs from Washington that Washington is serious about pro-growth policies, about controlling spending and about ending the practice of monetizing our budget shortfall.
So here are a few measures that I think will help set change or send that signal. Let's reform the tax code and reduce tax rates across the board.
Let's eliminate double taxation by abolishing the taxes on capital gains, on dividends, on interest. And while we're at it, let's eliminate the one on death, too.
Let's significantly lower the corporate tax rates so that once again it's competitive with the rest of the world.
Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.
Instead of having the federal government go out and open an insurance company, let's make a series of simple changes that puts the consumer in charge of health-care spending in America. And while we're at it, let's try some lawsuit abuse reform, as well. And finally, let's undertake serious measures that show that we are serious about getting control of our federal national debt.
Now, Americans are also looking for clear alternatives on the issues of national defense. As I said earlier, there is no greater risk to this country than the risk posed by radical Islamic terrorists. Let me be clear about something. These terrorists aren't trying to kill us because we offended them. They attack us because they want to impose their view of the world on as many people as they can, and America is standing in their way. We need to make it unmistakably clear that we will do whatever it takes, for however long it takes, to defeat radical Islamic terrorism.
We will punish -- we will punish their allies, like Iran -- and we will stand with our allies, like Israel. We will target and we will destroy terrorist cells and the leaders of those cells. The ones that survive, we will capture them.
AUDIENCE: Marco!
RUBIO: We will get important -- remember the Marco Polo thing I told you? We will capture them, we will get useful information from them and then we will bring them to justice, in front of a military tribunal in Guantanamo -- as I said, in front of a military tribunal in Guantanamo, not a civilian courtroom in Manhattan.
Let me close by saying this. For many of us who were born and raised in this country, including me, it's sometimes easy -- sometimes easy to forget how special America really is. But I was raised by exiles, by people who know what it is like to lose their country, by people who have a unique perspective on why elections matter, or lack thereof, by people who clearly understand how different America is from the rest of the world. And they've taught me this my whole life.
And they taught me, by word and by deed, that what makes America great is not that we have more rich people than anybody else. What makes America great is that there are dreams that are impossible everywhere else but are possible here. And why is that? It's because of the choices that people that came before us made.
Almost every other country in the world chose to have the government run the economy. They chose to allow government to decide which companies survive and fail. They chose to allow government to determine which industries are to be rewarded. But the problem is that when government controls the economy, those who can influence government keep winning, and everybody else just stays the same. And so in those countries, the employee never becomes the employer, the small business can never compete with a big business, and no matter how hard your parents work or how many sacrifices they make, if you weren't born into the right family in those countries, there's only so far you can go.
Now, we've had our excesses here in America, but for the better part of 234 years, Americans have chosen something very different, Americans chose individual liberty instead of the false security of government. Americans chose a limited government that exists to protect our rights, not to grant them.
Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity, not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home.
That is why this is the only place in the world where a company that started as an idea drawn out on the back of a cocktail napkin can one day be publicly traded on Wall Street. That's why this is the only country in the world where today's employee is tomorrow's employer. And yet, there are still people in American politics who, for some reason, cling to this belief that America is better off adopting the economic policies of nations whose people who immigrate here from there.
Now, they have the right to believe whatever they want, but I do not have that option. You see, I'm one generation removed from a very different life. My mother was one of seven sisters born to my grandfather that I talked about earlier born to very humble parents who struggled every day. My father had it even tougher. His mother died when he was only six years old and the day after her funeral, he went to work selling coffee in the streets of Havana with his father and as best as I can tell, he worked from then on for 70 years.
They came to America with virtually nothing, no English, no money, no friends. Only the strong determination to provide their children all the opportunities they never had.
My mom worked as a cashier, a factory worker, a maid and a K-Mart stock clerk; my dad primarily as a bartender. Both of my parents worked jobs so their children could have careers and their lives were never easy.
How many nights did I hear the keys of my 70-year-old father at the door as he came home after another 16-hour day? How many mornings would I wake up and run into my mom who was just coming home from the overnight shift as a stock clerk at K-Mart?
When you're young and in a hurry, the meaning of those moments escape you, but as the years go by and as my own children get older, I understand it now. I realize that my parents were once my age, that they once had dreams -- that there were some things that they once wanted to accomplish. But because of where they were born, because of who they were born to, because they lost their country, their dreams never had a chance. So they came here to America and went to work and it became the mission of their lives to give us the chance to do everything that they could not.
And so now I know that every chance I have ever had and everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parents' sacrifices and to the United States of America.
My parents never achieved wealth or influence, but their hard work opened doors for their children that had been closed for them, and so to me, their story is the very essence of the American miracle. It is a story that is rare in the world, and yet, it is common here. It is common here because those that came before us chose to live in a free society. It is common here because those who came before us chose free enterprise. But now our leaders are asking us to choose something very different. They're asking us to abandon the things that separate us from the rest of the world.
Those that came before us made their choice and now, you and I must make ours.
Now, I must decide, do I want my children to grow up in the country that I grew up in or do I want them to grow up in a country like the one my parents grew up in?
Now you must decide. Do you want your children to inherit your hopes and your dreams?
AUDIENCE: Yes!
RUBIO: Or do you want them to inherit your unfulfilled and unresolved problems?
AUDIENCE: No!
RUBIO: And so now we must decide. Do we want to continue to be exceptional, or are we prepared to become like everybody else?
AUDIENCE MEMBER: No.
RUBIO: It's a clear choice between two very different futures. And the task this year for us is to make sure that Americans choose the right one. You see -- my four children, your children and grandchildren are members of the most important generation in American history. If we succeed in convincing the American people to follow up, theirs will be the most prosperous generation in the history of our country. But if we fail, they will be the first to inherit a diminished nation.
The final verdict on our generation will be written by Americans who haven't even been born yet. Let us make sure they write that we made the right choice, that in the early years of this century, faced with troubling and uncertain times, there were those who believed that the great American story had run its course. But we did not agree. Fear did not lead us to abandon our liberty. Uncertainty did not lead us to abandon the entrepreneurial spirit. We fought for and held on to those things that made us exceptional. And because we did, there was still one place in the world where the individual was more important than the state. Because we did, there was still at least one place in the world where who you come from does not determine where you get to go.
Let us ensure that history's record of this time is clear that like those Americans that came before us, we rose to face the challenges of our time. Like those Americans who came before us, we made the right choice. And because we did, at least for one generation more the American miracle lived on.
Thank you all. And God bless you. Thank you for having me.

Late last week, an Alameda County Superior Court judge blocked $256 million in cuts that Gov. Schwarzenegger had ordered to a program that pays for child care for people in the state's welfare-to-work program. The state must first notify these parents about their options to enroll in other programs.
Legislative Democrats have made a cause of this cut, which Schwarzenegger made using his line-item veto power. And one can see why. Parents who are trying to get off welfare have a hard time finding a job. But the task is even more difficult when they have no way to pay for child care when they're working.
But one can understand Schwarzenegger's frustration. The state constitution requires a balanced budget. But judges have blocked his cuts to health and human services programs, as well as prisons. It's another piece of a California governing system that makes balancing a budget nearly impossible in practice.

While still training under her mentor, Shizuka developed a relationship with a merchant named Sagiri, despite the law of her village. While they hoped to one day change that law, Sagiri was one day killed, prompting Shizuka to live solely for her training and duties to the village, resigned to never love again. In the end, she said that she was going to become stronger one day.
Before her début, she had become the target of Kokuyō, who wanted to defeat her for her hand in marriage in order to rule Nadeshiko Village, and came after her numerous times despite a seemingly crushing defeat at every encounter. Prior to encountering with Naruto, Shizuka had defeated Kokuyō ninety-eight times, each time easily destroying his puppet and sending him flying.
After Sagiri's death, Shizuka became heartbroken and stopped loving so she would never lose someone dear to her again and so that she could become stronger. Tokiwa believes that she is only punishing herself. During her time with Sagiri, she also voiced her objection towards her village's law, hoping to change it. After hearing Naruto's resolve to make Sakura happier, she decides to become much more powerful, and someday, find someone to love without having to force them.
Shizuka is a fair-skinned girl of average height with an athletic yet curvaceous build. She has green eyes and waist-length black hair in a hime-style cut tied in a high ponytail with short bangs and chin-length strands framing her face. Normally, she wears a light-green kimono or a beige hooded robe when not battling. While on missions, she has a black forehead protector and wears her village's form-fitting kunoichi uniform; it is grey-coloured with a right shoulder-guard, grey gloves, and opening in her shirt which reveals some of her sizeable cleavage.
Shizuka is a highly capable and powerful kunoichi. She has shown great weapons proficiency, incorporating kunai into her techniques such as the Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance, a technique that Tokiwa praised Naruto for being able to dodge as well as the Dance Performance: Second Step where she spins in the air while releasing a volley of kunai at the enemy, greatly increasing her range.
Nature Transformation
She has also displayed the ability to use Wind Release techniques. Employing it alongside her taijutsu to greatly increase the lethality of such attacks as her Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Revolving Cut and Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Gale Fist techniques. She also employed the use of the Violent Whirlwind technique, where she spews out a jet of high-pressured air powerful enough to dispel shadow clones in an instant.
Part II
Paradise Life on a Boat
Seemingly being pursued by Kokuyō who wants to forcibly take her hand in marriage, Shizuka destroys his puppet robot with ease sending him flying away. It is revealed that she and her attendant Tokiwa were on their way to the Land of Fire to find Jiraiya's student whom he had carelessly promised would one day have to fight Shizuka and take her hand in marriage. Having found Naruto, Shizuka soon engaged him in battle.
Launching her Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance and her Dance Performance: Second Step and Violent Whirlwind techniques, she is able to successfully keep him at bay while dispatching his shadow clones. When she moves in for the kill however, thinking that Naruto was defeated, she is surprised to see that it was merely a shadow clone. Their battle is however interrupted by Kokuyō again, but Shizuka easily destroys his giant puppet. This time however, Kokuyō's Hundred Puppet Soul Binding technique is activated and Shizuka falls under Kokuyō's control. She is however saved by Naruto who easily dispatches Kokuyō. After this, Naruto speaks to her about the rules of her village and the power to change them, revealing to her in the process that he has a crush on someone else. With this, Shizuka has a change of heart and after seeing Naruto she vows to get stronger for her certain someone.

text: Nick, Black Rhino Keeper Today was an exciting day with the Black Rhino calf making her public debut, much to the delight of visitors in the Zoo. The calf, which we have affectionately nicknamed Effie, continues to go from strength to strength. The nickname has come about from the calf's classification in Zoo terminology as an F2 offspring. In plain English, this means that she represents the second generation born with wild genetics at the Zoo. Because of this Effie is extremely valuable to the international breeding program, even more so because she is female. She will one day join the breeding program for her species. Effie is continuing to grow and develop under the watchful eye of proud mum Bakhita. She is becoming more and more curious, often coming over to the fence to greet us at feed time and is very playful and active. A public naming competition will be held in the coming weeks to find a suitable name for Effie.

"An excellent book" –Fareed Zakaria
"Should be a first port of call for American voters sadly misinformed about their federal budget…Wessel's aim is to explain for a general audience the basics of the budget – where the money comes from and goes to – and to make the explanation interesting. He succeeds." –Financial Times
"Wessel…has an insider's grasp of the players, issues and argot surrounding the budget. Yet he writes with an outsider's eye, distilling his tale of the fiscal monster into about 150 pages of simple prose and a smattering of charts." –Businessweek
"This is the most useful book on government spending since the publication of the classic work, The Debt and Deficit by Robert Heilbroner and Peter Bernstein. In the service of economic literacy, I wish that a few members of the House and the Senate would read the entire book aloud on the floor of the respective chambers (but don't hold your breath)." –Huffington Post
"The federal budget is an inherently complex subject that could easily become boring. But Wessel staves off yawns by painting miniature portraits of lovable wonks from across the spectrum…He gets right to the core of the problem: Big-ticket programs that much of the public loves but few want to pay for." –Reason
"An extraordinarily useful book…For people unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the federal budget, it should be required reading. For those who already know their way around government finances, it is still a handy resource, but at the same time deeply depressing." –Salon
"[Wessel] is blessed with the ability to make the obscure and arcane comprehensible." –Canada Free Press
"Packed with facts and figures–not normally the sort of material that makes for riveting story-telling. Yet the plot of Red Ink is fascinating and frightening." –Daytona Beach News-Journal
"When laid out in front of us in the clam and talented hand of Wessel, we begin to understand in more detail exactly what we're deciding on, and that while it's not going to be easy, fixing the deficit is entirely doable… If you're interested that dialogue and in further education instead of soundbites and the pontification of pundits this election season, then this is certainly a book for you." –800 CEO Read
"A highly informative volume designed to give voters a grip on what exactly is at stake…Wessel doesn't tell you how to think, but he does give you the facts to think more clearly about what needs to be done." —Kirkus Reviews
"The inner workings of the federal budget and where the money goes by economics expert David Wessel…Controversy over whether tax increases of spending cuts should be made to defense, Medicare, or Social Security spending provides fuel for great debate." —Booklist
"A timely analysis." —Library Journal
"The federal budget deficit is among the country's most discussed but least understood policy issues. If only everyone would read David Wessel's Red Ink."
—Alan S. Blinder, professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University, former vice chairman, Federal Reserve Board
"Red Ink is the most concise, understandable, and focused book I have read about the dire problems we now face because of our burgeoning deficits and debt. It is not a pretty tale, but it is a tale all informed citizens should know." —David M. Rubenstein, co-chief executive officer, The Carlyle Group
"Stop. Buy this book, or at least read the first chapter. David Wessel explains the approaching debt crisis in clear, concise, nonpartisan plain English. It will not only scare your pants off, it will motivate you to call your congressman and scream, 'For God's sake, enough partisanship, save America, cut spending, raise revenue, whatever! But do it and do it now.'" —Erskine Bowles, former chief of staff for Bill Clinton and co-chairman of Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility
"In Red Ink David Wessel has accomplished two miracles: he has made a budget book interesting and he has deciphered the behavior of Washington for Americans beyond the Beltway. Nicely done." —Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office
"David Wessel's Red Ink is a wise and pithy introduction to the great economic issue of our time." —N. Gregory Mankiw, professor of Economics, Harvard University
"I wish every voter would read this book. It spells out in a clear, non-partisan way the realities of the deficit, how we got here, and the hard choices that lie ahead. The message is painful, but the book is not — it is engaging, thoughtful, and a pleasure to read." —Christina D. Romer, former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers and current professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley
"David Wessel does a first rate job at providing insight into complex fiscal issues. Anyone wanting to understand key players, pivotal moments, and high stakes in the critical issue of America's long-term unsustainable debts would be very well served by Red Ink." —Peter G. Peterson, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, founder of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, and author of the bestseller, Running on Empty

I always like highlighting businesses in town in my weekly articles. This business has been very visible lately in the national media, but locally you may not know much about it. Mindstream Academy, a Therapeutic Coed Boarding Program focused on helping teens achieve healthy weight, get fit and build self-esteem, began a couple of years ago, and is in our town limits near the New Riverside roundabout.
Over the past few weeks, the national media has put our town on the map, talking about a recent group of graduates from this school. Several links are below and I would encourage everyone to look at these and see what is in our backyard. You can also see these videos, like the segment from the Today Show, on our Town of Bluffton Facebook page.
To see MindStream's segment on the CBS Evening News Aired, go to www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57564166/at-$28k-a-semester-s.c-program-tackles-child-obesity.

Additional sign ordinance allowances
To assist business owners in increasing the visibility of their business, Town Council amended the town's sign ordinance to allow for greater flexibility in the display and placement of sandwich board signs and established an Old Town Business Directional Sign Program. With an approved permit, and respective Property Owner Association approval, sandwich board signs are allowed throughout the town and may be placed anywhere on site provided they are not located in any highway or roadside buffer. Sandwich board signs may be set out every day during business hours. The Old Town Business Directional Program is designed to provide businesses advertising space on off-premise directional signage in the Old Town Bluffton Historic District. The signage is designed to deliver information to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in a consistent, recognizable manner and to enhance business awareness and visibility throughout the Old Town Bluffton Historic District. Businesses interested in being a part of this program, must contact the Town of Bluffton and submit an application. Space is limited and is provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Town staff is implementing an outreach program to educate and assist commercial business property managers and property owners associations in developing effective wayfinding and directional master sign plans specific to their development. The Town sign regulations are located in the Unified Development Ordinance, which is available on the Town of Bluffton website (http://www.townofbluffton.sc.gov/Documents/izone.pdf).
Contact Katie Woodruff at the town of Bluffton customer service center at 843-706-4527 for additional information pertaining to sign requirements and/or the Old Town Business Directional Sign Program.

17-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Friday, June 7, 1912: I'm trying to make a skirt, but the end thereof is rather dubious.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
On June 3 Grandma mentioned that she was trying to remodel skirt that had been her sister's. I assume that she was still working on it—and that it wasn't going well.
I wonder if she had any books or other resources to help her figure out how to alter the skirt.
A hundred-year-old book called The Dressmaker had lots of suggestions for making skirts. Here are a few tips:
- Tucks and plaits must be evenly arranged and the space between them must be the same.
- In skirts where few gores are employed, particular attention must be paid to the correct position of the lines, in order to keep the plaits perfectly even.
- The skirt must be joined to the waistband and the material between the plaits properly disposed, so that the plaits themselves will have a uniform appearance.
- Before stitching the waistband, the skirt should be tried on, and, if necessary, alterations made. It is then folded over the edge and hemmed down.
- The hooks and eyes are sewed on securely; the hooks on the right-hand end of the waistband and the upper fold of the placket, and the eyes on the corresponding position on the opposite side. The hooks should be one-eighth of an inch back from the edge, and the eye on the top touching the seam of the skirt. [Comment–Until I read this, I hadn't thought about the fact that zippers were not used a hundred years ago.]
- A hem, two or three inches deep is the usual finish of the lower edge of skirts.
The Dressmaker (1911) by the Butterick Publishing Company

Adimec Introduces Unique High Speed Cameras
Eindhoven, the Netherlands (September 2007).
Adimec announced a new high speed CCD camera for fast inspection applications. The OPAL-1000m is the first in a series of cameras to utilize state-of-the-art sensors which offer greater spatial resolution at high speeds. This advanced sensor technology combined with Adimec's proprietary electronics provide excellent linearity over the full dynamic range through optimized embedded video processing. Other important performance parameters include channel matching to below noise level, automatic black and shading, and defect pixel correction.
"We are excited to continue developing cameras that combine our high standard for image quality with the faster speeds needed to meet the growing demands of the machine vision market," said Just Smit, CEO. The OPAL-1000 cameras are an expansion of Adimec's successful Adimec-1000 family of high performance CCD cameras to allow a faster camera option for the increasing demands of OEM's worldwide. "The repeatable performance of the OPAL-1000 cameras makes them an ideal and reliable fit for the most demanding OEM applications" added Mr. Smit.
The OPAL-1000m optimizes a 1/2" CCD area array sensor with 1024x1024, 5.5um square pixels. This camera can deliver up to 120 full frame images per second with unparalleled image quality and high signal to noise ratio. To enable high frame rate image acquisition in combination with standard frame grabbers, the OPAL-1000 cameras have a built-in frame memory that decouples the asynchronous image acquisition and image readout. The image readout and CameraLink interface of these cameras allow for software configuration and easy integration. As with all of Adimec's products, the OPAL-1000 cameras are 100% factory tested on all specifications to guarantee fast, accurate, reliable, and reproducible image capturing for OEMs. The OPAL-1000m addition will allow high-end OEM systems to meet the needs of even faster throughput while gaining performance advantages and without sacrificing image quality.
The OPAL-1000m will be publicly introduced at the Vision'07 Show in Stuttgart, Germany, from 6-8 November.

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — The brain damage found in a growing number of professional football players has been described in detail by a UC Davis Medical Center researcher and colleagues in the July issue of Neurosurgery. The pattern of protein tangles and plaques in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is distinct from those in Alzheimer's patients, they report, pointing the way toward an objective diagnosis of the disease.
"The first thing is to identify the disease, give it a name, and identify its pathology. We've done that," said Bennet Omalu, associate clinical professor of pathology at UC Davis Medical Center and co-director of the Brain Injury Research Institute at West Virginia University. Omalu was the first to describe CTE in 2002, after examining the brain of former Pittsburgh Steelers football player Mike Webster.
CTE is thought to be caused by blunt force impacts to the head. It can take years to manifest as behavioral and personality changes, including memory loss and mood disorders. These can progress to serious cognitive impairment, culminating in early dementia.
"We're seeing CTE in any activity that subjects your brain to repeated acceleration and deceleration," Omalu said.
In the current study, Omalu and colleagues detailed histological examinations of the brains of 17 athletes who played contact sports, including eight professional football players, four professional wrestlers, and three high school football players. All had died suddenly from suicide, drug abuse, or in accidents. The researchers diagnosed CTE in 10 of the 14 professional athletes, and one high school football player.
The study revealed important differences between CTE and Alzheimer's disease. Subjects with CTE had tangles of tau proteins in their brains that were similar to those seen in later-stage Alzheimer's patients. However, these tangles occurred in a very different pattern. While the tangles in Alzheimer's patients are scattered throughout the brain, those in the athletes exhibited a "skip phenomenon:" The tangles occurred in some areas of the cerebral cortex but were absent in others within the same lobe. In addition, the brains of the athletes did not show the classic neuritic amyloid plaques or the widespread cerebral atrophy characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Finally, the subjects diagnosed with CTE ranged from 18 to 52 years old, whereas Alzheimer's disease typically does not occur until after age 60.

The study also questions the connection between CTE and a variant of the apolipoprotein E gene. Previous researchers have linked the ApoE4 allele to a predisposition for Alzheimer's disease and the behavior changes of CTE. However, the CTE-positive subjects in this study were more likely to have the ApoE3 genotype, which is associated with tangle-only dementia. The CTE also produces tangle-only brain abnormalities.
Identifying the genotypes associated with CTE could help patients evaluate the risks they face when playing high contact sports.
"Although we do not have the capability now, it may one day be possible to develop a battery of genetic tests to identify individuals at high, medium or low risk for CTE. Knowing whether you had these certain types of genes, you may be advised not to play football," Omalu said.
At present, CTE can only be diagnosed during autopsy. Omalu and his colleagues are now focusing their research on ways to identify the disease in the living and to develop potential drug treatments.
In the meantime, "parents need to be aware of the dangers of repeated blows to the head sustained by children in football, wrestling and hockey. The younger you are when you start playing, the greater risk you have of permanent brain damage," Omalu said. "We need to embark on an aggressive education of physicians and parents, so people are able to make informed judgments before they decide to play or not to play."
UC Davis Medical Center is a comprehensive academic medical center where clinical practice, teaching and research converge to advance human health. Centers of excellence include the National Cancer Institute-designated UC Davis Cancer Center; the region's only level 1 pediatric and adult trauma centers; the UC Davis MIND Institute, devoted to finding treatments and cures for neurodevelopmental disorders; and the UC Davis Children's Hospital. The medical center serves a 33-county, 65,000-square-mile area that stretches north to the Oregon border and east to Nevada. It further extends its reach through the award-winning telemedicine program, which gives remote, medically underserved communities throughout California unprecedented access to specialty and subspecialty care.

Now that's devotion.
Heather Morris, who plays lovably ditzy cheerleader Brittany Pierce on "Glee," says she would give up acting on one of TV's hottest shows for the sake of her beau, Taylor Hubbell.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Back To McKinley High: 'Glee' Season 3!
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"My boyfriend doesn't like to see me kiss anyone on the show," the 24-year-old star told Fitness magazine in an interview for their October 2011 issue. "My mom either, but when I became Artie's girlfriend, she was relieved. She said, 'I'm happy you're no longer the slut!' because the running joke on the show is that Brittany has kissed or slept with everyone in school."
Heather is happy her wild character settled down with Artie (played by Kevin McHale) on the hit FOX series, as the actress said she would leave the world of showbiz rather than risk upsetting her boyfriend with her character's onscreen flings.

"I want to marry him so bad. That's what I really care about," she said. "I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue doing it."
The bubbly blonde also dished on losing a bit of baggage – her breast implants.
"Implants were something I thought I wanted when I was younger, and now I don't," Heather, a veteran dancer, told the mag. "It was hard being active with them, because my chest was always sore. It hurt a lot, and I didn't like always being in pain, so they had to go!"

The actress did not specify when she went under the knife for her implants or when she had them removed.
As for "Glee's" notorious roster of A-list guest stars, there's a certain actress Heather would like to see gracing the halls of William McKinley High – "Saturday Night Live" and "Bridesmaids" star Kristen Wiig.

"I keep telling ['Glee' show runner] Ryan Murphy that I'd die to work with her," she told the mag. "Hopefully, he'll see this and finally make it happen!"

H:MC21 (Homeopathy: Medicine for the 21st Century) report that Professor Edzard Ernst the leading 'authority' on homeopathy, and perhaps its most referenced critic, has no qualifications in homeopathy.
William Alderson of HMC21 also claims that Ernst's book Trick or Treatment? shows Ernst to be unreliable as a researcher into homeopathy. He outlines 11 mistakes made by Ernst which can arise from ignorance of the principles of homeopathy, and which can seriously affect the reliability of randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses of homeopathy.
He says 'We believe that it is time to recognise that opposition to homeopathy is largely based on the opinions of individuals who are unqualified or unwilling to judge the evidence fairly.'

SMF - Just Installed!
Anyone remember Ash from Book Zero?
"Escape"? Escape as in fighting for their eventual freedom by this country's rules, or "escape" as in eventually "escaping" by literally fighting to plot an escape, and slipping out? I do recall posting that they should do the former...
I assume they mean with regard to fighting form. Soft is stuff like judo which counters stuff, hard is direct force attacks.Powers that be, not powers to be.I think the time for manipulation is over. They have probably heard the playing it safe speech. This is likely one of the S-rank fighters jumping into the arena.
Oops - I think one of the brothers is in need of a new sword......and with the buildup required to perform that move, Bernadette had plenty of time to get into position.Of course, what neither brother's realised is that neither Bern nor Polly individually are the true threat, but the combination of both. Meanwhile, with Polly's observation from p18 that they didn't pose a problem, she definitely didn't expect them to be that unchallenging (then again, neither did the MC).Now is the thing attached to his brother's right arm a second weapon or a shield? If the latter, then the brothers are reduced to one weapon against the combination of Bern and Polly - added onto which, their reputation's just taken a bit of a dent...
Oh my god, he just ran in.
Ouch. I sorta feel bad for them..Hard brother might've had a point. But how do you defend against a flying steel ball?

A couple nights ago, Tucker Carlson told Fox News that "Iran deserves to be annihilated." Nothing to see here; just some standard yuppie pundit chest-beating. But I found his pseudo-mea culpa absolutely fascinating:
It's my fault that I got tongue tied and didn't explain myself well last night. I'm actually on the opposite side on the Iran question from many people I otherwise agree with. I think attacking could be a disaster for the US and am worried that Obama will do it, for fear of seeming weak before an election. Of course the Iranian government is awful and deserves to be crushed. But I'm not persuaded we or Israel could do it in a way that doesn't cause even greater problems. That's the main lesson of Iraq it seems to me.
See, the problem with declaring war on Iran is that it would be a "disaster" … for the US. It might cause problems. That's the main lesson of Iraq.
You could argue that this position is less monstrous than the one that tongue-tied Tucker seemed to profess on Fox News. After all, he's saying that we shouldn't take actions that would lead to the senseless slaughter of thousands of Iranians. But he's doing so while also making clear that the lives of those thousands of Iranians are not the main issue. National interest, dammit!
If the "main lesson" of Iraq was really that one should refrain from committing inexpedient atrocities, then no one's really learned anything. Just remember Tucker's words the next time he castigates the Iranian government for how poorly they treat Iranians.

Axel Rathgeber (b. 1968) has been a supporting puppeteer on The Secret Life of Toys and Muppet Treasure Island.
Muppet performing
Born in Langenfeld, Germany, Rathgeber was influenced at an early stage by Sesame Street and The Muppet Show which were broadcast on German TV. After school, he studied Communication Design at the Los Angeles Art Center's College of Design and worked in the advertising and game design industry. In 1992, the Jim Henson Company sought German puppeteers to work on the production of The Secret Life of Toys, which was to be produced in Duesseldorf. Rathgeber, Jurgen Tombers and Marcus Hübner were three out of 40 puppeteers who finally got the job.
"I was thrilled! There were Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson and Louise Gold sitting around a table as I walked in the studio's kitchen. And I was to work with them for 6 months, nearly every day - what a great experience!"
Rathgeber also worked as a supporting puppeteer on Muppet Treasure Island, where he played side characters and was right-hand performer for Dave Goelz's Great Gonzo.
For some years, Rathgeber was a puppeteer for the German version of Spitting Image and was also involved in puppet building and designing. He now lives near Karlsruhe, Germany and has his own creative studio working for entertainment and television companies.

Eminem Drops 'Rap God' Single
Just as we were wrapping up a relatively quiet Columbus Day Monday, Eminem went and debuted his single "Rap God." Now we're mesmerized by his "lyrical acrobatics," when we can make out the words (and even when we can't). Even Rap Genius is still trying to break down the R-rated lyrics as we type.
The track is from Eminem's Nov. 5 album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which includes previously released "Berserk" and "Survival." Nearly a week ago, the video for "Survival" premiered.
Eminem must also get AMC because in the middle of talking about being a god and fusing hip-hop with pop, he drops this reference: "I'm the walking dead but I'm just a talking head."
Listen to the single and tell us what you think in the comments.

Goodbye to the vibrant Ethiopian fans – and their beautiful women
The supporters of the Walyas Antelopes have been the most colourful addition to the Afcon in 31 years. Losing them in the first round takes away some shine from the tournament
By Lolade Adewuyi, In Rustenburg
They came to South Africa in thousands and bestowed their unmistakable dynamism and energy on the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. It can be construed that the fans of Ethiopia's Walyas Antelopes came to the tournament in droves because it was the first time that their country was playing in the continent's biggest football showpiece in 31 years.
So they arrived – young and old, well, mostly young – men and women, wearing their bright green, orange and red national colours. Some had faces painted, others had fancy hairstyles while some remained plain.
Of their women, former footballer turned pastor and analyst Idah Peterside blurted on television: "The Ethiopian women are beautiful, they're like magnets."
They sang songs in Amharic and chanted for their team. They were rambunctious, they challenged referees' calls, they invaded the pitch, twice, yet they remained loyal till the end even as their side was eliminated in the group stage by Nigeria.
A group of Ethiopian fans also used the opportunity offered by the tournament to protest the incarceration of their leaders by the Ethiopian government. Mainly Muslims, they wore whitejalabiyas and massed together separate from the larger group.
One thing I noticed about the Ethiopians, unlike many other journalists who complained every time their teams exposed some weakness, the east African journalists were calm and watchful in the media tribune. They did not come to this tournament expecting so much, only to enjoy the spectacle.
And what a spectacle the fans created for everyone who saw them.
They possessed a great deal of heart and were not afraid to show it. After the ugly incident against Zambia that forced Caf to fine their federation $10,000 for a pitch invasion and throwing of missiles, they held out a large banner on the stands that read: "We apologise for our behaviour but we love the game." True spirit!
Losing the Ethiopians in this tournament is ending one big chapter for them. Coach Sewnet Bishaw told journalists that the team is in a new phase of life.
"We have opened a new chapter for this generation after 31 years. We scored our first goal at the Afcon in 37 years. We are trying to make our people happy," he said.
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi also hailed their style of play which involved passing around the ball very well, a style perfected on the training ground.
"If they keep the team together for the next five years, they will be a force to reckon with on the continent," Keshi said.
Ethiopia will go back home looking ahead to the next Afcon and the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. A consistent football policy will keep them on the radar for a long time to come.
We need Ethiopia to play more often on the big stage, football cannot afford to miss their fans nor their beautiful women for another three decades.

Having a successful company requires employing the policies that will help to develop the talent within an organization. This means that having a series of skills development programs can mean the difference between a profitable company or one that is on the decline.
Improvisation is a great way to learn skills that are useful in every aspect of life. These skills help in job performance, interpersonal relationships and communication skills. Evaluation of a changing business environment, enhanced creativity and assisting the ability to think "outside the box".
The question isn't "Can you afford to hire our Ventura County corporate training workshops?" The question is "Can you afford not to hire our Ventura County corporate training workshops?"
THEY improv employs a variety of techniques to tailor Ventura County corporate training workshops and seminars to your business needs. Through a simple series of questions, we can determine your goals and bring togetherthe staff and expertise needed to best achieve those goals.
Using comedy to enhance retention of knowledge is a great idea. Click here to learn about Comedy for Employee Education.
To that end, THEY improv has developed a variety of Ventura County corporate training programs with workshops to deal with a variety of key skills required to continue the growth and success of your company.
For some of these, the fact that our origin is in the world of improv enhances our approach. Improv is all about communication, emotional intelligence and adaptability. These are key elements of any form of success.
Leadership Skills / Management Training Workshop
Working with management groups, we provide a variety of exercises to assist with delegating responsibility, maintaining the status of the manager, helping staff to be included in decision making, and the understanding of the cost-benefit analysis and efficiency of management decisions.
Emotional Intelligence
Having the ability to understand, adapt to and manipulate emotions in oneself and others can be an absolute key to success and adaptability. Having an agile approach focused in meeting the emotional needs and concerns can result in enhanced customer service, sales and general success.
Sales Training Workshops
One of the quickest ways to enhance the bottom line is to increase sales. Our workshops work on overcoming objections, using the needs of a client to redirect the energy of a conversation and the power of a strong elevator pitch. We also take into account the internal psychology when interacting with marketing and production personnel.
Presentation Skills Workshops
An employee can be wonderful in every other way, but if they can't get in front of others and present their ideas then their talent can be misused. We have a variety of presentation skills workshops that can help with the actual speaking, removing of bad habits, preparation, electronic presentations (such as PowerPoint) and making connections with their audience.
Conflict Resolution
We can provide sessions that are geared towards teaching the skills to overcome conflicts, enhancing the camaraderie within an organization to reduce internal stress, and to consult on overcoming current issues that may exist within a company.
Creativity Workshops
We can provide a workshop to help bring out the creativity of participants. We teach the elements of thinking outside the box and how to accept and build off of the ideas of others.
Brainstorming Sessions
We can bring creative personnel together to brainstorm and come up with new ideas for any organization. As part of this, we can help teach others how take up the effort on their own.
Electronic Communication
More and more, major problems are caused through failures in electronic communication. Our workshops help participants to understand the need for review in electronic communication, including email, social media posts, blogs and texts, for content. We help them see how the emotional elements of such communication is drained from the process and how the same message can be received in multiple ways based on the emotional state of the receiver of the information.
Customer Service
While the main focus of our customer service workshops is to improve relations with clients, we also work to improve relations with internal clients to enhance relations within the company. We consult with our clients to determine the scope of their needs and to assist in achieving internal and external goals.
Hospitality Training
For those in the hospitality industry, we have a variety of workshops to enhance touchpoints with guests and to improve their experience.
Team Building
We have a wide range of other workshops that are more focused on having employees get along with one another. While more engaged in team building rather than specific skills training, often we will include elements of skills development in such workshops.
We can also provide education through our entertainment programs. This can include game shows, improv comedy or murder mysteries that can have your lessons at their core. Simply ask us how we can make that happen.
Contact us today to learn about how we can help you succeed in business without really trying!
