About the Smith Act Trials
Michael Steven Smith
SMITH ACT TRIALS, 1949. The Alien and Registration Act of 1940 was proposed by Congressman Howard Smith of Virginia, a poll tax supporter and a leader of the anti-labor bloc in Congress, and is generally referred to as the Smith Act. Signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt, it was the first statute since the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 to make mere advocacy of ideas a federal crime.
Federal Bureau of Investigation director J. Edgar Hoover, immensely proud of his leading role in the government's nationwide persecution and deportation of radicals and immigrants during the 1919 Palmer Raids, suggested to President Harry Truman in 1948 that the Smith Act be used against the Communist Party and its sympathizers. Truman embraced the idea as a means to outflank Republican rivals who were accusing the Democrats of being "soft" on Communism. Going after domestic Communists also complemented his international policy in subduing "subversion" in Greece, Italy, and France, where Communism was widely popular and Communist parties could conceivably take shared or total control of the national government. The most significant political heresy trial in U.S. history would bring the Cold War home.
The eleven defendants were not charged with any overt acts. The accusation was that "they conspired . . . to organize as the Communist Party and willfully to advocate and teach the principles of Marxism-Leninism," which the government alleged to mean "overthrowing and destroying the government of the United States by force and violence" at some unspecified future time. They were also accused of conspiring to "publish and circulate . . . books, articles, magazines, and newspapers advocating the principles of Marxism-Leninism," again interpreted by the prosecution. The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels, Lenin's State and Revolution, and Stalin's Foundation of Leninism were placed into evidence as books from which the defendants taught. Among the eleven charged were Gil Green, a long-time Party leader; Eugene Dennis and Henry Winston, leaders of the national organization; John Gates, editor of the Daily Worker; and Gus Hall, leader of the Party in Ohio. The nine-month trial took place in New York City. Some four hundred police were detailed to the Foley Square courthouse, further feeding an aura of tension and potential violence.
Judge Harold Medina suffused both the pretrial and trial proceedings with consistent prejudicial rulings and quips that were often anti-Communist or racist in nature. At one point, Medina called black defendant Benjamin J. Davis, a Harvard graduate from a distinguished southern family, "boy." The jury was selected in a manner that insured all of its members were at least upper middle class. One showed overt prejudice before the trial even started, but was not dismissed.
The defendants fought the thought-crime nature of the proceedings and the government's caricaturing of their views. They claimed, to no avail, that they were for majority rule and against violence, except as a means of self-defense. Given the climate of hysteria generated by mass media, guilty verdicts for all were more or less foreordained. Ten got and served five years in federal prison and had to pay fines of $10,000. The eleventh defendant, Robert G. Thompson, a bearer of the World War II Distinguished Service Cross for bravery, received his government's gratitude in the form of a slightly shorter sentence of only three years. Four of the defendants forfeited their bail during the appeal process and went underground where they functioned for years before surrendering or being apprehended. While in prison Robert G. Thompson had his skull crushed by a group of Yugoslav fascists armed with a pipe, and Winston, denied essential medical care, was left blinded. Each of the defense attorneys was cited for contempt and served a prison sentence. Among those who served six months was George C. Crockett, an African American attorney who, later in his career, was first elected as a judge in Detroit's criminal court and then as a Michigan congressman.
The successful use of the Smith Act by the Truman administration against the top leaders of the Communist Party drove a large stake into the heart not only of the Party but of every organization in which the Communists had been active and influential. Not least of the indirect casualties was the newly formed Progressive Party. The indictments in the case came on the very eve of the Progressive Party's convention and appear timed to undermine support for the new party. The Communist Party, which was heavily involved with the Progressive movement, had expected the new party to garner between four and eight million votes. The indictments and the charge that the Progressive Party was just a front for Communism was a major factor in the Progressive Party's ultimately receiving just a bit over a million votes.
The convicted Communists appealed their cases, but in 1951 the United States Supreme Court upheld the convictions by a vote of six (including four Truman appointees) to two. Chief Justice Fred Vinson wrote the decision for the majority. Justices Hugo Black and William O. Douglas dissented. Black noted that the government indictment was "a virulent form of prior censorship of speech and press" which is forbidden by the First Amendment and therefore unconstitutional.
Douglas wrote of his belief that the Communist Party was impotent and that "only those held by fear and panic could think otherwise." Therefore, the Party could not possibly represent a "clear and present danger" as required in the law. Douglas made clear the distinction between defending the Party's legal rights and supporting its positions. He pointed to the Party's uncritical support of the government of the Soviet Union and quoted Andrei Vishinsky, the chief prosecutor at the third Moscow purge trial, who had written, "In our state, naturally there could be no place for freedom of speech, press, and so on for the foes of socialism."
An ironic aspect of the convictions, which was not lost among civil libertarians and others, was that the Communist Party had fully supported the use in 1941 of the Smith Act against the leaders of the Socialist Workers Party. Motivated by its hatred of Trotskyist political opponents and its fervent support for the Soviet-American alliance of World War II, the Party had judged the Smith Act perfectly constitutional and the subsequent trials a legitimate government action. Those positions gravely undercut the credibility of the Party's efforts in the 1950s to characterize the Smith Act as unconstitutional and to mobilize a defense on the basis of political free speech and freedom of association.
The criminal convictions of the leadership of the Communist Party deprived it of legitimacy in the eyes of most Americans. Although membership in the Party did not significantly decline, the Party was unable to recruit many new members. More significant was the damage to Party fronts and peripheral organizations. Participation of former sympathizers fell away dramatically. Long-established groups became inactive or dissolved, and the creation of new groups virtually ceased. Among the allied groups whose demise was most damaging was the International Workers Order, an insurance and fraternal order with approximately 150,000 members. Although financially sound and not directly connected to the Communist Party, the International Workers Order was forced to dissolve in 1954 on the basis that it was a subversive organization. In addition to the political loss this entailed for the Party, it also deprived Communists of an institution from which they could borrow to finance their legal defense.
After the Smith Act convictions, Hoover, disappointed that only eleven Communists had been prosecuted, wrote Truman criticizing him as "insincere" for not indicting greater numbers. This failing was soon corrected. In 1951, twenty-three more leaders were indicted, including the legendary Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, who had first burst on the American political scene as an organizer and orator for the Industrial Workers of the World. Flynn, a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union, had squared off with Hoover in the 1920s when she fought for the victims of the Palmer Raids and the 101 members of the Industrial Workers of the World who were sentenced to prison at a mass trial in Chicago. In 1953, Flynn and her codefendants were fined and imprisoned.
Further indictments followed throughout the nation. In the end over 140 Communist Party leaders were indicted. The trials did not cease until, a number of Supreme Court decisions in 1957. Two of the most important were Yates v. United States and Watkins v. United States. The Yates decision overthrew the convictions of the second tier of Communist leaders. It drew a sharp distinction between the advocacy of an idea for purposes of incitement and the teaching of an idea as an abstract concept. In Watkins the Court ruled that a defendant who had opted not to use the Fifth Amendment could still use the First Amendment against "abuses of the legislative process." The vote was six to one, with Chief Justice Earl Warren writing the majority opinion.
The net effect of these and related decisions was to bring prosecutions to a halt. The Court had reaffirmed constitutional protections regarding free speech and self-incrimination while raising the requirement of "intent" to a level that made it difficult for prosecutors to show a Communist Party member had a criminal purpose. Nonetheless the Smith Act remained and still remains on the books. Moreover, the prosecutions had been very effective in destroying the momentum of the Party and giving it a subversive image with the general public which it has never totally shed.

Flexible Packaging Leads the Way
Retortable, microwaveable pouches and flexible packs that can 'breathe' are leading the way.
Consumers' desire for convenience and their reluctance to sacrifice palatability are opening the door to new flexible packaging materials and styles. Innovations include microwaveable retort pouches, films that "breathe" and new approaches to package resealability.
"Convenience is what consumers want," says Eric Bartholomay, product development manager at Toray Plastics (America) Inc. (www.torayfilms.com), North Kingstown, R.I.
Addressing that desire, flexible packages that let consumers cook the product in the package are now available. So too is packaging that meets the special requirements of convenience stores and the needs of on-the-go consumers.
For both retail and foodservice products, retortable flexible packages that can be microwaved are in demand. "There are a lot of developments in the retort area," Bartholomay observes. "It was initially tuna. Now we're seeing rice in retortable stand-up pouches that can be microwaved."
One food processor that stands poised, at the time of this writing, to introduce not only rice but also soup and meal kits in microwaveable retort pouches is Now Foods, Pearl, Miss. Now Foods' products will be packaged in the Sonotort Shatterproof microwaveable retort pouch. Sonoco (www.sonoco.com), Hartsville, S.C., supplies the film for the package, and Floeter Inc. (www.floeter.com), Elk Grove Village, Ill., converts it into pouches.
The first product to launch will be the company's Rice Now line of prepared rice dishes, followed by Soup Now and Dine Now. The last is a line of meal kits that will include meat plus pasta or rice in separate pouches.
The Rice Now package is an 8-oz., single-serving pouch that fits neatly into lunch boxes, book bags, purses and brief cases. The bottom of the pouch is gusseted so it can stand up in the microwave oven, and a directional tear on top makes it easy to vent the package for cooking.
Combining the best of flexible and conventional paper packaging, Patak's Foods Ltd. (www.pataks.co.uk), Leigh, United Kingdom, recently switched to a paper/film laminate package for its Stonebaked Naan Breads.
The film is composed of paper that is strip laminated to 12-micron polyvinylidene chloride-coated polyester film and 50-micron polyester. The paper gives the package a natural feel and conveys the product's premium, fresh-baked positioning; the plastic adds barrier properties and product protection.
The package is eight-color flexographically printed for shelf appeal but retains a sizeable transparent window on the front panel so customers can see the bread. The company is packaging Patak's Plain and Garlic and Coriander Naan Breads in the laminate. The packages are gas flushed for increased shelf life, and each pack holds two loaves.
Amcor Flexibles (www.amcor.com), Gloucester, United Kingdom, supplies the packaging material, called Amcor Panorama.
The front and back of the pouch are decorated using eight-color rotogravure, which provides visual appeal. But the gusseted area is transparent, so consumers can see the product.
The pouch material is enhanced with a Sonoco-proprietary organic polymer coating. The film's structure, drilling down from the package exterior to the food-contact surface, is (in order) polyester, organic barrier coating, ink, nylon and cast polypropylene.
Because the organic coating is more flexible than the aluminum oxide and silicon oxide coatings typically used on flexible materials, the structure is highly resistant to flex cracking and provides better barrier properties than conventional films.
"Improved resistance to flex cracking gives us a better barrier over the life of the package, so it should provide better freshness over time," says Angela Adams, segment manager with Sonoco Flexible Packaging.
Retail and foodservice
In the prepared-sauce category, McCormick and Co. Inc. (www.mccormick.com), Sparks, Md., has launched a line of sauces in retortable, microwavable stand-up pouches. McCormick's Finishing Sauce products are packaged in 5-oz. pouches made from an adhesive lamination.
From exterior to interior, the material's layers are reverse-printed, high-barrier polyester, oriented nylon and polypropylene. According to McCormick, the package has a shelf life of at least 12 months. Ampac Flexibles-Converted Products, a unit of Ampac Packaging LLC (www.ampaconline.com), Cincinnati, supplies the pouches.
As with the Rice Now package, the gusseted bottom of the pouch is unprinted so consumers can view the product through the transparent film.
For ease of use, the pouch was designed with "cool grip" heat seals on either side of the package. The grips are located on opposite edges of the upper half of the package and offer a safe way to handle the package after microwaving. The half-oval-shaped heat seals keep the hot microwaved sauce from coming into contact with that part of the pouch, making it cool to the touch.
The package offers many benefits versus glass jars, which have historically been used to package sauces in the U.S. The pouch "is shelf-stable, lightweight and slim, won't break or chip like glass and has cool grips on the sides," says John Bowman, market manager at McCormick. In addition, the pouch is easy to use: "Just cut the top corner, heat and pour."
Bowman says McCormick chose a flexible package for the Finishing Sauce line "to be innovative and set us apart from the jars." He also said the flexible pouches leverage the familiarity consumers have with the company's powdered-sauce mixes in traditional foil and plastic pouches. In addition, the Finishing Sauce pouch builds on McCormick's successful launch of a similar package outside the U.S.
Retortable, microwavable pouches are gaining interest in the foodservice market, as well. La Costeña Foods (www.porsabor.com.mx), Tulpetlac, Mexico, last fall began a market test within the foodservice market of 3-kg (6.6-lb.) pillow-pack pouches of whole and refried beans. To heat the food, foodservice workers either microwave the pouch or place it in hot water.
The pouches offer foodservice operators numerous advantages over No. 10 cans. Improved quality of menu items made using the pouched ingredients is at the top of the list.
Because food in the pouches does not take as long to process as it would if it were in a can, the product is exposed to less thermal abuse during the retort process. "The food comes out as a better product, a higher quality product," says Frank Bauer, global marketing director with Cryovac Food Solutions (www.cryovacretort.com), Duncan, S.C.
"The product is better tasting and also has better mouthfeel because particulates are kept more whole and the product is not overcooked," he adds. "You can even offer a refried bean product with some bean integrity" versus the mushy refried beans found in cans.
As additional benefits to the foodservice operator, the pouches are safer to handle than cans and less costly to dispose of.
The pouches are made on Cryovac vertical form-fill-seal equipment using Cryovac Favour Mark pouch material, a high-performance, multi-layer, co-extruded film. A U.S. producer of vegetable products launched a corn product in the Favour Mark pouch last fall, and another currently is working on packaging chili in the package.
With a different take on microwave convenience, Minneapolis-based General Mills Inc. (www.generalmills.com) introduced Green Giant Simply Steam frozen vegetables in an 8-oz. container. The package's forming/non-forming film system uses a self-venting feature to control the release of steam; the consumer needn't puncture the package before microwaving. The packaging technology is from Curwood Inc. (www.curwood.com), Oshkosh, Wis., a Bemis company.

Responding to last week's crash of a man angry with the IRS into an Austin, Texas, office building, Craig Fuller, president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association reached out to pilots and the general public, asking all to keep the event in perspective. He says:
This week, the aviation community suddenly found itself at the center of the troubling issue of suicide in America. As tragic and dramatic as this one suicide in Austin proved to be, those who influence and make public policy have a responsibility to keep this event in perspective.
Each year, there are more than 30,000 suicides in America. Even more disturbing, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that there are 25 suicide attempts for every suicide death. The figures, and the human suffering they represent, are overwhelming.
But the fact is that pilots are a remarkably healthy group of individuals, both physically and psychologically.
We have medical examinations on a regular basis. We report the medications we use and the ailments we have to certified medical examiners. The FAA even determines what medications are allowable for pilots to take.
Sadly there are exceptions to every rule, as the tragic events in Austin demonstrated. Even so, an examination of aircraft accidents over the past 20 years found fewer than two suicides per year involving aircraft. Compare that to the 750,000 annual suicide attempts, and it seems evident that the aviation community contributes little to this national problem.
Still, there is already speculation about what we must do to ensure that images like those we've seen from Austin are never seen again. As always, the aviation community remains committed to protecting the freedom to fly while maintaining the highest levels of safety and security. We believe strongly that any response to this terrible incident must be appropriate, reasonable, and effective.
Let's make sure that any examination of public policy is thoughtful and any resulting proposals are well-considered. The response to this isolated event must recognize that America is home to 600,000 pilots who annually fly more than 26 million hours using general aviation and who daily make tremendous contributions to the nation using aircraft for business, humanitarian, commercial, charitable, and personal missions.

A fix for Safari 5.1.4 for Mac and 1Password Helper problems
Good news, everyone! Well, bad news, then good news. To keep things short: Apple just released Safari 5.1.4, and it's causing some ruckus with our 1Password browser extension for a few of our Mac users. That's the bad news.
The good news is that we have a fix, and it's pretty darn easy. We have a support document that explains everything with an accompany screenshot, but in short: for the vast majority of customers experiencing this problem, it seems to be an issue with running Safari in 32-bit mode instead of 64-bit. To get Safari and our 1Password Helper playing nicely together again, you can:
- Quit Safari
- Right-click Safari in your Applications folder and choose Get Info
- Uncheck the "Open in 32-bit mode" option
- Restart Safari and live happily ever after
So far, we've seen only one instance where a customer also had to restart their Mac for this fix to actually stick. But on the whole, this seems to solve the problem. If you still experience trouble, though, please get in touch with our support team and they'll get you squared away!

I do not wish to add too many words. One word should suffice this evening, that is the Cross itself. The Cross is the word through which God has responded to evil in the world. Sometimes it may seem as though God does not react to evil, as if he is silent. And yet, God has spoken, he has replied, and his answer is the Cross of Christ: a word that is love, mercy, forgiveness. It also reveals a judgment, namely that God, in judging us, loves us. Let us remember this: God judges us by loving us. If I embrace his love then I am saved, if I refuse it, then I am condemned, not by him, but by my own self, because God never condemns, he only loves and saves.
Dear brothers and sisters, the word of the Cross is also the answer that Christians offer in the face of evil, the evil that continues to work in us and around us. Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the Cross upon themselves as Jesus did. This evening we have heard the witness given by our Lebanese brothers and sisters: they composed these beautiful prayers and meditations. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to them for this work and for the witness they offer. We were able to see this when Pope Benedict visited Lebanon: we saw the beauty and the strong bond of communion joining Christians together in that land and the friendship of our Muslim brothers and sisters and so many others. That
occasion was a sign to the Middle East and to the whole world: a sign of hope.
We now continue this Via Crucis in our daily lives. Let us walk together along the Way of the Cross and let us do so carrying in our hearts this word of love and forgiveness. Let us go forward waiting for the Resurrection of Jesus, who loves us so much. He is all love!
This is an excerpt from "New Beginning, New Hope: Words of Pope Francis Holy Week Through Pentecost." It is a collection of Pope Francis' homilies and audiences from Holy Week through Pentecost that reflect his joy, compassion and love for all people. Walk through the season with Pope Francis. He will inspire and encourage you.

of 57 years in prison following the guilty verdicts by a jury in
Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia.
Engelhardt and Shero were accused of molesting an altar boy
who was 10 years old at the time at St. Jerome's parish in the
Northeast section of Philadelphia.
A grand jury report in 2011, which detailed child sex abuse
in the archdiocese, the nation's sixth largest with 1.5 million
members, said the altar boy was "in effect passed around" from
one molester to another in 1998 and 1999.
Now 24, the victim testified at the trial.
"The victim in this case has shown exceptional courage,"
District Attorney Seth Williams in a statement following the
"Not only did he have the strength to report his abuse but
he had the tenacity to look his abusers in the eye and testify
in front of complete strangers about the horrific details of his
attacks," Williams said.
Engelhardt was convicted of indecent assault, corruption of
a minor and other sex-related crimes. The jury deadlocked on a
charge of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child.
Shero was convicted of six sex-related crimes, including
rape of a child and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.
Sentencing will take place this spring, authorities said.
A third man accused in the case, former priest Edward Avery,
71, pleaded guilty to sexual abuse and is serving a prison
sentence of 2-1/2 to five years.
The same grand jury report led to the conviction last year
of Monsignor William Lynn, former secretary of the clergy for
the archdiocese, who was found guilty of endangering the welfare
of a child.
Lynn is serving a prison sentence of up to six years. He was
the highest-ranking clergyman to be convicted in the U.S. Roman
Catholic Church scandal.
The Philadelphia district attorney's office has successfully
prosecuted four of the five men charged by the grand jury in
2011. Charges against the fifth, Rev. James Brennan, involving
another youth, ended in a hung jury in June, and he awaits

Best Kids Parties: Summer Garden
Name: "V" (3)
Location: Essex County, NJ
For V's 3rd birthday, she specifically asked for a yellow themed birthday party. I interpreted the theme broadly and gave it a summer garden party twist, adding hot pink flower and butterfly accents.
Dorrie from Winks and Daisies provided the invitations and all of the party printables. The party was held in our backyard, under a tent, to keep the August sun at bay. The party décor was simple - we decorated with balloons and poms in various shades of yellow and used fresh yellow daisies in galvanized buckets (from the dollar bin at Target) as accents.
The main food table, draped in gold wood grain fabric, was set up next to the tent and held an assortment of goodies, both savory and sweet. On the menu were kid friendly applesauce cups, carrots and hummus, goldfish, grapes, watermelon flowers, cantaloupe stars, and beautifully decorated baked goods provided by Cathy from Swirled Bakery. The banana cupcakes were decorated with yellow frosting and topped with handcrafted pink flowers. The chocolate cake pops were dipped in yellow chocolate and decorated with yellow sugar crystals and pink butterflies, and simple sugar cookies, in the shape of flowers, were decorated in pink and yellow to match the theme. At the birthday girl's request, we also served yellow lemonade in jelly jars with yellow striped straws and decorated with yellow twine. The jelly jars were the perfect size for the party guests' little hands and their weight rendered them non-breakable...a plus in my book!
When the guests arrived, they were met with a table under the tent set up for crafts. Each girl decorated her own picture frame with paints, markers, felt stickers and foam pieces. Some also drew pictures for inside their frames. While the crafts were drying in the sun, the girls played games including a kid friendly fishing game and mini golf. The swing set was also in heavy rotation, as was the princess dress up box. Just try and keep a 3 year old girl away from the high heels...impossible!
At the end of the party, V distributed the party favors, coordinating hot pink butterfly wings, magic wands and butterfly nets. I had hoped to get one photo of all of the girls dressed in their butterfly wings, but there were too many other enticements and we could never get them all in one place at the same time! Between games, crafts, and tons of food, the girls had a blast! V was sad to see her friends go, but she proudly proclaimed the party a huge success. The next morning, she asked us to do it all over again...
Maybe next year...

|Valencia, Calif.
|High School:
|Valencia HS
2011 (Freshman):
Making an immediate impact for the Tigers in her first collegiate season, Foglesong stepped into the starting lineup from game one as Pacific's left fielder and proceeded to become one of the finest outfielders in the conference. Committing just one error in 92 chances, Foglesong finished the year as the conference's top defensive outfielder. She added one outfield assist on the year as well as she played every inning for the Tigers' during its 56 games. In addition to her defense, Megan spent the year hitting in the top third of the Tigers' order, first hitting in the No. 3 hole before moving into the No. 2 spot for much of the conference season. At the plate, Foglesong posted a .308 batting average as she tallied 53 hits in 172 at bats. Of her 53 hits, 15 were for extra-bases as she tallied 13 doubles, tied for eighth most in single season history, and two triples. Putting herself in position to score, Megan posted a league-best 44 runs on the year, a total which ranked fourth all-time in Pacific single-season history. Additionally, Megan drove in 34 RBI as she helped account for 78 runs in her first year. For her play, Foglesong earned player of the week honors on May 16 as she picked up the final weekly award for the 2011 season after leading the Tigers' to a series win over Cal Poly that clinched Pacific's first ever Big West title.
High School:
As an outfielder for Valencia High School, in Valencia, Calif., Foglesong was a part of one of the most successful high school programs in the nation. As a freshman, Foglesong played on a team, alongside of current Tigers Nicole Matson and Amy Moore, that finished the season 32-1 overall en route to their first ever California State Title and their first ever national championship. As a sophomore, Foglesong earned All-Foothill League First Team honors as she again helped lead the Vikings to their second straight state title. During her sophomore season, Megan hit .357 in 35 contests while scoring 20 runs and driving in nine more. As a junior, Foglesong proved to be the Vikings' best hitter as she finished the year with a team-best .421 batting average in 31 contests. Additionally, her prowess at the plate led to more runs for the Vikings' as she posted team-highs in both runs scored (32) and RBI (24) on her way to her second straight first team all-league selection. In her senior season, Foglesong helped lead the Vikings to a perfect 10-0 league and 29-4-1 overall record, earning her 2010 First Team All-Valley and Daily News MVP Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Born in Van Nuys, Calif., Megan Foglesong is the daughter of Wayne and Linda Foglesong. She has two brothers, Ryan and David. In her second year at Pacific, Megan is majoring in Education, with aspirations to become an elementary school teacher.

The reasons for New Year�s resolutions are varied and, typically, have the shelf life of the holiday itself.
The reasons for New Year�s resolutions are varied and, typically, have the shelf life of the holiday itself.
At least that has been my experience.
I am not sure I have ever made it to Jan. 31 in any single year with any resolution and I would be willing to bet that based on the angst-filled articles and television shows on the subject I am clearly not alone.
Heck, Congress and the President can�t even get to January with any resolution for solving long-term entrenched fiscal issues after swearing up and down after the elections that the American people had spoken and they wanted compromise.
Which we did, but as most of us of adult age can gather by now, deafness is rampant in Washington, D.C.
In any case, let�s turn the onus of a resolution � something one might actually have to stick to � to a hope and here are a few for the New Year that seems appropriate.
Barry Sellers � Clarification.
Here is hoping that the Board of County Commissioners, city of Port St. Joe, city of Wewahitchka, the Board of the Chamber of Commerce, somebody has the sense to give this guy a break.
The BOCC has performed the political back-flip enough and this latest excursion into capricious decision-making � blowing up a consolidated economic development agency less than two years after creating it and hiring Sellers from Arkansas � takes the cake of flat out disregard for another human being.
In this day and age, in this holiday season and brutal economic times, to leave Sellers swinging in the lurch as to what 2013 holds is not only short-sighted, but simply mean-spirited.
Sellers, you are EDC director; no, you�re a county employee answerable to administrator Don Butler; no, wait, you�re in Whoville with the BOCC starring as the Grinch.
Tan Smiley and Ward McDaniel � The hope for the two county commissioners, reaching the midpoint in their first terms, is greater understanding as to the factors that led to their election two years ago.
Voters wanted change to start and with the addition this year of County Commissioner Joanna Bryan there are now three votes on the BOCC that were brought to office on the promise of change in the way the BOCC conducts business.
The TDC and EDC messes this past year are sufficient evidence that change is tardy.
The list of changes is laundry-like � transparency through items such as a clear agenda, treating the public as if they are the employers and holding meetings and making decisions by their rhythms, ridding the meeting room of personal attacks � but there are now three votes to perform the duties voters pleaded of you to begin with.
So do it.
The Cape San Blas Lighthouse � It�s rescued without bloodshed.
There is a sharp divide regarding the possible future location of the lighthouse, but the battle that is brewing could end up as such a drawn-out bruising affair maybe the ocean would be a better choice.
While there is a clear consensus among the group most invested in the lighthouse � the St. Joseph Historical Society which has been about preserving the lighthouse years before elected officials got involved � but constituents with varying agendas have commissioners in a twist.
The saga is really another example of why county-wide voting is needed, as underscored by Bryan during a recent BOCC discussion about the lighthouse�s future when she said Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka were also part of the county and therefore the equation.
There can be fine rhetoric about collaboration but what is shaping up is wrestling over ownership of a historic treasure, which due to the nature of the amount of taxpayer money poured into restoring a keeper�s quarters and the lighthouse is nobody�s possession but the public�s.
Make a decision based on best use for the public.
The Port � A client, any client.
Eastern Shipbuilding is still on track to arrive early next year but the Port Authority could use any positive news and if by this time next year we are talking about any kind of revenue stream for the port, 2013 would be banner.
An investment banker cautioned the Port Authority that things such as economic development take time � head�s up BOCC � but given all the sweat equity that has been poured into that port by folks, some of whom have spent 2012 essentially volunteering, there would be a certain satisfaction in seeing some of those visions coming true.
We can be patient, that is part of the game, but there can always be hope.
John Hanlon and Mitch Burke � The grace and professionalism of their predecessors.
Hanlon, who will become Supervisor of Elections next month, and Burke, who on the same day will become Property Appraiser, have large shoes to fill.
Linda Griffin, retiring as Supervisor of Elections, and Kesley Colbert, stepping into retirement after nearly three decades as Property Appraiser, defined the characteristics we�d all want in a public servant.
They watched their taxpayer pennies, were unfailingly polite and gracious to their constituents � when Griffin said �her voters� she meant it in every positive connotation of the word � and served this county through some difficult times.
Griffin in the aftermath of the 2000 election debacle in Florida and all the changes that brought and Colbert through the worst swing in property values in the history of the county.
To paraphrase Kipling, they seemed to maintain their heads when all about them were losing theirs.
Hanlon and Burke can aspire to duplicate those skills and that would be enough.
Finally, a wish to all our readers � may your 2013 be filled with hopes and dreams that are realized; our hope is we see you same time next year.

Illustrated Guide: What Your Stupid Designer Handbag Says About You
You know that obnoxious "Stars: They're Just Like Us!" page of every celebrity weekly? We saw one the other day that featured Kelly Rutherford from Gossip Girl, and she was pumping gas or feeding the meter or some shit under that very headline… only she was toting a $10,000 Hermès Birkin. Now, we can think of at least one way Rutherford isn't just like us: we're not stupid enough to spend $10k on a goddamn status billboard that carries tampons*. Look, we work in fashion, we see frivolity and conspicuous consumption everyday… and now we're making fun of it! With crude drawings! Here are some assumptions we make about ladies with specific designer purses–YSL, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang and more ahead.
*I'd spend it all on a marble bathtub filled with those chocolate dinosaur eggs. You know the ones? With the gummy dinosaur inside? Those are fucking incredible.

We moderns have relegated the word repent to a message on a sandwich board worn by some bearded cartoon figure. We chuckle at him in his lonely crusade to convince people that the end is near. We are about as ready to listen to such a message as was the temple crowd that gathered in amazement after the healing of the crippled beggar. Yet Peter does not hesitate to tell them--and us--that they should repent, and why.
After the prayer service in the court of Israel, the apostles, with the beggar clinging to them, return through the Nicanor gate into the court of the Gentiles. All the people rush to see them, gathering at Solomon's colonnade, a many-pillared, three-aisled portico that ran the length of the eastern boundary of the court of Gentiles. The people are astonished, and their amazement is mingled with fear (compare 3:10, 12; 13:41; Is 52:13; 1 Km 4:13 Sym).
Peter seizes the moment and asks the people about their amazement (NIV has surprise, which may be too weak) and their staring (see comment at 3:4). If they think the miracle was produced by power resident in the apostles or by godliness--the superior practice of the duty one owes to God (compare 10:2)--they are mistaken.
Peter prepares the way for his Deuteronomy and Genesis quotes by declaring that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (compare Ex 3:6, 15) has in this healing glorified his servant Jesus. The title servant is an allusion to Messiah as the servant of the Lord featured in the servant songs of Isaiah. In particular it points to Messiah's suffering servant role in Isaiah 53. Boldly Peter alleges that the people handed [Jesus] over (compare Lk 9:44; 18:32; 22:21-22; 23:25; NIV adds to be killed) and disowned him by rejecting Pilate's judgment that he was innocent (Lk 23:13-25). Disowning the Holy and Righteous One, they asked that a murderer be released to them.
With a striking phrase, Peter asserts that "the crown prince" (NIV says author) of life has been deprived of life. Life in Luke can be a synonym for salvation (Acts 5:20; 11:18; 13:46, 48).
Today we are so jaded by constant exposure to violence through the news media that in our entertainment we demand ever more grisly acts of violence. Can we still be shocked by this "greatest crime in human history" (Barclay 1976:33) which Peter lays before his listeners? We must be, for only then will we be able to receive that great good news that Peter immediately declares: God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this (compare 1:22; 2:32; 4:10; 10:40-41; 13:30-31).
By faith (both the apostles' and the beggar's--compare 14:8-10) in the name of Jesus (that is, Jesus himself present in his resurrection power; compare 1 Kings 8:27-30), this man . . . was made strong. Literally, the Greek says, "Based on faith in his name this one . . . his name strengthened." "Faith is the manner and Jesus' name is the cause of the man's restoration" (Kistemaker 1990:130). In the end all is from Jesus, for faith is present not only as a human activity (faith in the name of Jesus) but also as a divine gift (faith . . . through him). And today the economy is the same. There is no room for relying on manipulative, magical technique. All Jesus asks us to bring is humble dependence lived out in prayer and faith (Jas 5:14).
Peter's transition from indictment to call to repentance is the empathic yet searching assertion that his compatriots (brothers) killed the Messiah in ignorance. They failed to recognize Jesus' true identity, though it should have been evident from his words and actions. This does not mitigate their guilt; rather, it makes their predicament all the worse (see Lk 23:34; Acts 13:27; see God's provision for sins of ignorance, Num 15:22-31).
Yet not even this ghastly mistake was outside God's plan, foretold through all the prophets (Lk 24:25-27, 46-47; Acts 2:23; 8:35; 13:27-29; 17:2-3; 26:22-23). The theme of Messiah's suffering can be traced through four of the five major prophets and one minor prophet (Is 53; Jer 11:19; Dan 9:26; Zech 13:7).
Peter commands the crowd to repent, renounce the sinful lives that led to Jesus' death, and turn (NIV adds to God) so that . . . sins may be wiped out (compare Ps 51:1, 9; Is 43:25) and times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord--that is, God the Father. Here is the immediate relief that the people can expect, since salvation is now accomplished and they are living in the last days (Lk 4:18-21; Acts 2:17-21, 38). But there is more. God will send to them the Christ, who has been appointed for them, at the end, when he restores all things (compare 2 Pet 3:13).
What positive motivations for repentance! Our slate has been wiped clean. Our parched lives are refreshed in the present by seasons of the Spirit's outpouring. Our future perfection is beyond imagination.
Peter now places his call to repentance in "promise-and-fulfillment" as well as eschatological perspective. Moses prophesied that God would raise up a prophet like himself, whom the people would be responsible to hear and obey (Lev 23:29; Deut 18:15-16, 19). If they didn't, they would forfeit their right to be part of the people of God. All the prophets from Samuel onward "proclaimed" these days, the days of fulfillment and of decision. Will Peter's hearers heed Jesus, the prophet like Moses, as he speaks his message through his apostles--"Repent . . . and turn to God" (Lk 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19)?
Today this message is vital to the eternal destiny of not only ethnic children of Abraham, the Jews, but also that largest of hidden people groups, nominal Christians. If 75-80 percent of the world's Christians are Christian in name only, then one billion people need to be awakened out of their "smug assurance of salvation by biological birthright" (Kingsmore 1990:446; Willimon 1988:48).
Peter concludes with an encouraging appeal to the Jewish audience's place in salvation history. As "sons" of the prophets and of the covenant (NIV translates hyioi as heirs), they stand in line with those who received covenant promises of salvation blessings (compare Lk 1:72). In a text form closer to the Hebrew original than to the LXX, Luke gives us the foundational covenant promise: Through your offspring (literally "your seed") all peoples on earth (literally "families of the land") will be blessed (Acts 3:25/Gen 22:18). Understood literally and concretely, the "seed" is one person, the Messiah (compare Gal 3:16).
Peter's audience already received the promised salvation blessings in anticipation, when God sent his servant Jesus (compare Acts 3:13) for his earthly ministry. Now, in the preaching of the gospel and its reception through repentance, Jesus blesses his people by turning each away from [his] wicked ways (compare 26:23).
Too often today these salvation blessings are treated as cheap grace. Many claim to be Christians, yet their lives are not markedly different from the lives of others. Divorce rates do not vary greatly between professing Christians and the general population. Peter lets us know in clear terms that salvation is not simply a matter of wiping away sin (3:19) but also a matter of righteousness (3:26; 26:20).

So I'm sure you guys have seen the supposed SGS3 render that came out today. If not it is the one below. And it is stunning.
Now I don't know about you but for me, this is one of the best renders I have seen to date. I want this phone in my life. It is a style that we haven't seen from Samsung in.. well.. ever..
So my thread has two questions:
1: Do you think this render is real?
2: What kind of design features would you most like the SGS3 to have?
Let me know..

We now know that the New England Patriots will be playing the New York Giants in the Super Bowl this year. Some people might be bored at the thought of the same teams competing against each other again so quickly, but others probably see it as the rematch of the century, given that the Giants played spoiler to the Patriots getting a perfect season four years ago.
If only computers could predict who would win this time. Apparently, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratories are thinking about that very same thing.
Trying to predict the future is nothing new. Ask Nostradamus. The History Channel, in its apparent attempt to prove that the world is getting ready to end this year, keeps running specials about how he and others think our time on Earth is drawing to a close. Forgive me on this, but I liked the History Channel better when it actually dealt with the past. I used to lovingly call it The Nazi Channel since most programs were about World War II in some way. But now it's all about aliens and the end of the world and junk I don't really care about.
Anyway, one interesting thing on the History Channel was a segment about how, if the actions of people could be expressed mathematically, future actions could possibly be predicted. Perhaps that is what the scientists at Los Alamos are researching. In fact, if you think about it, that may have been what Nostradamus was trying to do in his head.
But I'm not so sure it could ever work. Let's get back to the Super Bowl for a moment. Here is an event where most of the variables are known, at least compared to the wide world of real life. We know the players, their records, their abilities, the strategies used by both coaches in the past. Even the weather can be factored in most of the time, especially for indoor stadiums.
I have a friend who tries to predict the outcome of the game every year using his Xbox 360 and a copy of Madden NFL. He makes sure that all the most recent data is part of the game and then runs the simulation a hundred times to get the most probable outcome.
Even so, his results have been less than stellar. While he is often fairly close with the final scores, within three points a lot of times, the actual winner of the game has only been correct 50 percent of the time over the past six years. That's no better than a coin flip. I can program my computer to give me a random answer and get the winner with the same accuracy. Then again, he could probably beat the point spread using this method. Hmmm...
For what it's worth, EA Sports, which makes the Madden NFL game, has run its own Super Bowl simulations since 2004 and has correctly predicted the winner of six of the last eight games. The two it got wrong: last year's Green Bay Packers win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2008 game between the Giants and Patriots.
But even if there is something to computer predictions of sports games, expanding this to other events in the real world would be so much more difficult. You can find out that Tom Brady completes 82 percent of his passes on second-down plays and add that into your formula, but how do you assign a number to President Barack Obama's diplomatic prowess or the reaction that Israel would have to a certain action in regard to Iran?
Sadly, I don't think computers will ever accurately predict the future using math. They might be able to make the calculations for us, but we would probably fail to get the proper variables into them.
That doesn't mean it hurts to try. Looking at my random generator, I now ask it who will win the Super Bowl. And the answer is…the New York Giants. You heard it here first. The computer is always right, except when it's not.

You are right, they used to be all about history and now they air Government conspiracies, UFOs, weather control and future weapons, and generally weird stuff. As far as computers predicting the future, sure they are good at analyzing data and generating an outcome, in some scenarios, computers have been amazing accurate, such as in the stock market when they predict trends by analyzing 80 years of data. In this situation however, you have too many human elements that can throw the model out of bounds, no pun intended...
My wife and I came up with calling the History Channel the Nazi Channel. Well, we thought we did. Apparetnly a lot of people called it that.
Excellent Topic
Hooah! Go Big Blue!
I agree with your assessment of the history channel. It used to be interesting when it had history programming, of course I'm old enough to remember when MTV had music too.

2013 hyundai genesis Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
A favorite of American Express Black Card holders (six-percent of them own a Hyundai), the Hyundai Genesis sedan enters 2013 with a minor changes that make it even more of a bargain, potentially irking Mercedes-Benz and Lexus product planners. The Genesis' base engine is a 3.8-liter V-6 that makes 333 hp and 291 lb-ft of torque, while throwing about $10,000 more on the table nets you the Genesis R-Spec, which is powered by a 5.0-liter V-8, which churns out 429 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic. For those whose prime concern is fuel economy, you'll be happy to know that the Genesis V-6 is EPA rated at 19/29 mpg city/highway, while the V-8-powered R-Spec is rated at 17/26 mpg.
We've had lots of experience with the Genesis R-Spec sedan and, for the most part, we like it. Of the 5.0-liter V-8, we said that it's "as smooth and quiet as they come," and gets the car from 0-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. We did find the R-Spec badging to be a bit much: "Though a fun ride overall, turn-in is a very tricky and touchy thing to master, requiring a hefty dosage of quick on-off throttle inputs to induce smooth rotation. In the figure-eight the car was fun to drive, but doesn't live up to its bold R-Spec naming."
For 2013, Hyundai drops the mid-level 4.6-liter V-8, leaving just the V-6 and big V-8 offerings. Other changes consist of a revised navigation system, and new safety tech like lane guidance.
New for 2013
Hyundai has eliminated the mid-level 4.6-liter V-8 for 2013, leaving the R-Spec's 5.0-liter V-8 as the only eight-cylinder engine option. Other changes include a revised navigation system, which now includes features like Zagat reviews, album art, and the capability to store up to 64 GB of music, photos, or videos.

|Wished I had waited for the Tonneau Pro Hard Tri Fold. The American is around $75.00 more and it just barely fits. It needs to be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches longer for a good fit. It also would not pull down for a tight fit at the front bed rail. Had to add weather strip to fill in the open gap.Quality and construction is good, but needs to be a bit longer.

If there's one word to describe Princess Diana's wedding style, it'd be iconic.
"Diana's wedding dress was an instant hit from the moment she stepped out of the car on the big day," says Liz Ise, wedding planner for Chancey Charm Dallas. "In full 1980's style, it incorporated the lavish fabrics, voluminous silhouettes and all the drama. Thankfully, puffy sleeves are out and never coming back. However, Lady Diana made those current trends seem effortlessly timeless."
That's why, more than 35 years after she said 'I do,' her bold fashion choices live on. "Many elements of Diana's bridal look are still in style," says Liz. "Ruffles on the neckline and sleeves have been spotted everywhere. This flattering design element is a gorgeous ode to Diana's hit dress and is on trend for 2018."
With one royal wedding down and a potential one on the way, let's run through the rest of Lady Diana's bridal choices that are still a hit today. Brides-to-be, take note on how to work the regal look into your own nuptials.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- For the second time in less than two weeks, the Greek government invoked rarely used emergency laws to order strikers back to work Tuesday -- in a move designed to end a seamen's walkout that has left islands without ferry services and supplies for six days.
The decision by conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to declare ferry crews under civil mobilization came after their unions voted to extend the strike until early Friday. Seamen who refuse to comply risk arrest and jail time of up to five years -- although a union leader said workers would try to defy the order.
Samaras' three-party coalition government is facing a strong backlash from unions over new austerity policies forced upon it by international creditors, whose bailout loans are shielding debt-heavy Greece from bankruptcy.
The country's main unions have called a general strike for Feb. 20.
Merchant Marine Minister Costas Mousouroulis said the government did what it could to address seamen's demands for payment of salaries more than six months in arrears and the signing of collective work contracts with ferry companies.
"Unfortunately, arteriosclerotic and petty political views prevailed, not allowing (the end of the strike) so that our islands could regain their only means of communication with each other and the mainland," Mousouroulis said.
Samaras' government had previously hinted heavily that it would mobilize the seamen unless they stopped the strike. The rarely invoked order was also issued last month to end a protracted walkout by Athens underground rail workers.
The Merchant Marine Ministry said ferry schedules could resume later Tuesday, depending on how fast strikers are served their mobilization papers.
But seamen's union leader Yiannis Halas urged ferry crews to resist.
"(The mobilization) will solve none of our problems," he told a protest gathering of about 1,500 seamen and supporters in the capital's port of Piraeus, Greece's largest. "We ask the crews to stay away from their ships and stay here. Courage and strength to all of us."
The strike has already had an impact on islanders, many of whom rely on the mainland for basic everyday supplies. An island trade and commerce association warned that the seamen's walkout poses a substantial threat to small businesses in the archipelago, which already face severe pressure due to Greece's three-year financial crisis.
The Cyclades chamber of commerce said Tuesday that the strike had led to shortages in goods, prevented treatment of serious health cases and even stopped the transportation of dead bodies for burial.
"We demand that you understand, and this is no overstatement, that the limits of what we can bear and tolerate have been exceeded," a statement said.
In a separate statement, the country's national trade federation warned that the strike had left large numbers of trucks loaded with goods trapped in the country's main ports.
The civil mobilization law, amended in 2007 to deal with "peacetime emergencies," has now been used ten times since the 1974 collapse of a military dictatorship in Greece -- three of those in anti-austerity strikes over the past two years.
Greece's biggest labor union, the GSEE, deplored the government's use of what it called an "extreme, undemocratic measure."
"Instead of trying to find a solution to seamen's problems and end shipowners' provocative intransigence, the government is making a show of strength against the wrong people," a GSEE statement said.
Main opposition Radical Left Coalition spokesman Panayiotis Lafazanis said ferry crews were left with no choice but to step up their fight.
"You cannot stop workers' protests by dressing them in army uniforms," he said.
Greek unions have held a wave of protests to protest the harsh austerity measures taken since 2010 to secure vital international rescue loans. The repeated income cuts and tax hikes deepened a recession already in its sixth year, amid soaring unemployment that has left more than 26 percent of the workforce without a job.
Resentment across Greece remains high. Farmers are threatening to block highways throughout the country to protest new tax laws, while state media have been on strike for the past two days. Brief clashes broke out with riot police in central Greece Tuesday, when farmers who have lined up some 1,500 tractors near a main highway tried to block the road on foot.
The government insists that the austerity is working, with provisional figures showing that it reduced last year's budget deficit to the targeted 6.6 percent of annual output and achieved a modest primary surplus.
Fitch ratings agency said Tuesday that the Greek economy appears to be "rebalancing," but warned that further structural reforms will be needed.
"Greece, which had the highest peak deficit of any eurozone country, has done the most to balance its books," a Fitch statement said. "However, it still has a long way to go before debt starts to fall and it complies with" European Union deficit regulations.
Meanwhile, Athens on Tuesday saw its borrowing costs dip slightly in an auction of 26-week Treasury bills. The public debt management agency said it raised €812 million ($1.1 billion) at an interest rate of 4.27 percent -- compared to 4.3 percent in last month's auction.
Although unable to raise money by selling long-term debt, Greece maintains a market presence through regular short-term Treasury bill auctions.

Media company Viacom Inc. reported 16% higher profit in its fiscal first quarter but revenue dipped -- raising worries on Wall Street about a slow-down in domestic advertising sales.
