Tom Rochon's Inauguration
The College's eighth president is officially installed in office. by Keith Davis
Thomas Rochon's April 17 inauguration inspired an academic symposium, concerts, presentations, celebratory remarks, and visits from dozens of dignitaries. The defining moment, though, took place during the ceremony in Ben Light Gymnasium, when members of the Ithaca College Board of Trustees presented the new president with the College's charter, mace, and presidential medallion. These symbols of trust signify the president's commitment to academic excellence and the College's accomplished history. Passing them to Thomas Rochon officially invested him as the College's eighth president and conferred the authority to lead.
"The responsibilities of presidential leadership and stewardship have been fulfilled with courage and distinction throughout the history of the institution," board president William Schwab '68 told the new president. "The trustees, in our role as guardians of the College, have chosen you to carry on that tradition."
After accepting leadership of the College, the president picked up on the keynote address by Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, who'd spoken about the far-reaching consequences of the decline of civic engagement in America. The challenge, Putnam said, is to reweave the fabric of American society, and Rochon continued on the theme, affirming that the College's mission is to uphold a social compact.
"It is understood that colleges are not in business for themselves, or even solely for their students, but rather for the public good," Rochon said. "The creation and dissemination of new knowledge is an important function of higher education, but I think we have lost our way if we state the creation of new knowledge is our core purpose. . . . We have an abundance of facts at our fingertips. The challenge is to transform those facts into information, information into knowledge, and knowledge into action."
The president cited three key experiences that spur students to action: active or experiential learning, service and outreach in the wider community, and cross-disciplinary study.
"To be successful, students must understand how different perspectives and analyses can contribute to seeing a problem in its entirety," he said. "They do not need to become expert in multiple fields, but they do need to understand how multiple fields contribute to solving a particular problem."
To that end, the president outlined his strategic vision, an initiative he began last fall with a series of brainstorming sessions involving all members of the campus community. Entitled "Integrated Curriculum for Ithaca College" or (IC)2, the effort will create faculty partnerships across the various schools and divisions as well as involve staff in cocurricular activities and residential life.
"Ithaca College is very strong — a national leader in applied learning and in the engagement of community," Rochon said. "We have just begun to transform the education experience at IC so as to become equally strong in offering problem-centered educational experiences that span diverse fields of study. I believe that the steps we have taken this year, combined with our 117-year commitment to excellence, will put us on the road to leadership in this area as well."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A report released Thursday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says President Barack Obama's budget request would mean significantly larger budget deficits than the White House claims.
CBO says the budget plan proposed last month by Obama would produce deficits of $6.6 trillion over the next 10 years — $1.6 trillion more than the White House estimates.
The main reason is that the White House has a rosier estimate of the economy's performance over the decade than CBO. That means the administration predicts higher tax revenues.
The president's budget is just a proposal; it has gained little traction on Capitol Hill since its release last month. The GOP-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate have already settled on a spending "cap" for this year's round of annual spending bills. A budget debate last week in the House was about political messaging and left intact last year's small-bore congressional budget deal.
CBO also says Obama's budget contains $1.4 trillion in tax increase over a decade, much more than claimed by the White House. A $456 billion chunk of that comes from higher revenues because of an influx of workers through immigration reform. CBO also notes that Obama's budget contains $193 billion over a decade in new tax credits for the working poor that officially are counted as spending because they're issued as refunds.
Obama also proposes steeper estate taxes, curbing tax deductions claimed by the wealthy and a 94-cent-per-pack increase in cigarette taxes. It proposes more money for infrastructure projects, education, job training and the Pentagon than permitted under automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Those cuts are required because Congress failed to follow up on a 2011 budget and debt deal with significant further spending cuts that could undo the automatic cuts.
Obama's budget claims to reduce cumulative deficits by $2.2 trillion over 10 years, predicting they would drop from $7.1 to $4.9 trillion.
CBO's estimate says Obama's budget, if enacted in its entirety, would only cut deficits by about $1 trillion over that period when compared with current law.
CBO produces independent studies and cost estimates of legislation for Congress.

With the introduction of the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series, an x86-based solution is for the first time able to match both the performance and resilience of a Unix system, while convincingly winning the price-performance argument. As a result, Fujitsu presents enterprises with an alternative path for mission-critical computing deployments, where unplanned downtime is not an option. Complementing the launch, Fujitsu is also offering enterprise customers turnkey professional services to make migration from legacy systems a simple and trouble-free path – with the Fujitsu Global Delivery Center network able to remotely manage and monitor installations around the clock2.
Fujitsu gave top priority to non-stop runtime for mission-critical applications when designing the new PRIMEQUEST series. Systems feature self-healing advanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) components that have a built-in resilience to faults that may develop during runtime – but which can otherwise cause servers to shut down. PRIMEQUEST is able to detect and automatically compensate for these faults, ensuring that systems keep on running.
The top-of-the-range Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2400E and 2800E models also introduce another industry first: A new Dynamic Reconfiguration feature allows online replacement of system boards and therefore enables on-the-fly re-partitioning while the system is still up and running. Workloads can be shifted from one partition to another on a running server, therefore avoiding the need for any planned downtime or even operating system restarts.
Hans-Dieter Wysuwa, Executive Vice President Products Technology and Channel, International Business, Fujitsu
"The server computing market is going through revolutionary times. Our new PRIMEQUEST infrastructure solution presents enterprises with a new choice of platform for running their mission-critical applications, while also providing the perfect building block for incorporating disruptive technologies like in-memory computing. PRIMEQUEST is capable of meeting new demands where existing data center technology just is not up to the mark, such as hugely increased requirements for memory combined with mission-critical levels of uptime. The new Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2000 series is the first x86-based server technology able to match UNIX systems for their RAS capabilities while also providing a compelling argument in terms of both system pricing and operational cost."
Shannon Poulin, Vice President of Marketing for Intel's Data Center Group
"With the introduction of the new Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST series that takes advantage of the recently introduced Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 product family, Fujitsu's customers will be presented with a unique mission critical solution for their most data demanding workloads. Intel has worked hand-in-hand with Fujitsu to combine world-class performance and high availability at a lower total cost of ownership that alternative UNIX based systems simply can't compete against. We're also pleased to see new innovation including Dynamic Reconfiguration that enhances PRIMEQUEST's value proposition as a leader in resilient mission-critical solutions."
Jim Totton, Vice President and General Manager, Platform Business Unit, Red Hat, Inc
"Since PRIMEQUEST's introduction in 2005, Red Hat and Fujitsu continue to collaborate on enterprise features in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, delivering a reliable and flexible platform needed for running and maintaining mission-critical operating environments. The PRIMEQUEST 2000 series provides a hardware partitioning solution, runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and offers new approaches to maintaining system uptime while delivering a flexible computing resource pool with features like Dynamic Reconfiguration. This ability to scale infrastructure capacity on the fly as business requirements fluctuate showcases Red Hat's and Fujitsu's continued commitment to delivering robust, scalable and reliable solutions for the most critical of business systems."
Nils Brauckmann, President and General Manager, SUSE
"Customers have long counted on Fujitsu to provide dependable, highly efficient infrastructure for data centers. Fujitsu and SUSE have optimized SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to deliver maximum performance per watt on the Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST server platform, ideal for enterprises modernizing their data centers with reliable, scalable energy-efficient solutions."

Washington, DC, March 17, 2011 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged four executives at a Louisville-based steel processing company and four of their family and friends with illegal insider trading in advance of the company's acquisition.
The SEC alleges that Patrick Carroll, William "Tad" Carroll, David Mark Calcutt and David Stitt – who are vice presidents of sales at Steel Technologies – traded based on confidential information about their company's acquisition by Mitsui & Co. (USA) Inc. Three of the four executives illegally tipped family members or friends. The ring of eight traders together purchased $578,000 of Steel Technologies stock in the month prior to the public announcement of the acquisition and made $320,000 in illegal profits.

Additional Materials
SEC Complaint
Merri Jo Gillette, Director of the SEC's Chicago Regional Office, said, "Our complaint alleges that these high-level salespeople exploited their insider status for monetary gain, and their friends and family knowingly used confidential information to gain an illegal advantage over other traders in the market."
Specifically, the SEC alleges that Patrick Carroll tipped his son James Carroll, and Calcutt tipped his brother Christopher Calcutt. David Stitt tipped his friend John Monroe, who then tipped another friend Stephen Somers.
According to the SEC's complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Patrick and Tad Carroll are brothers of Michael Carroll, who is the president and chief operating officer of Steel Technologies. Patrick traded after Michael introduced him to Mitsui representatives who were touring the Steel Technologies facility where Patrick worked. Patrick tipped his son James, who then purchased his own Steel Technologies stock shortly before the acquisition was publicly announced. Tad bought more than $84,000 of Steel Technologies stock approximately one week before the public announcement following his own communications with Michael.
The SEC alleges that before getting inside information about the forthcoming acquisition, Calcutt liquidated nearly all of his company stock. However after he went on a hunting trip with Michael Carroll, Calcutt soon started aggressively buying Steel Technologies stock at higher prices. He also tipped his brother Christopher Calcutt, who then sold all of his shares in another company for a loss and used that money to buy Steel Technologies stock on margin to increase his illicit gains.
According to the SEC's complaint, Stitt, Monroe and Somers have known each other since childhood. Stitt learned about the forthcoming acquisition on the Friday before the public announcement and immediately purchased Steel Technologies stock that same day. Over the weekend, Stitt told Monroe about the forthcoming acquisition. On Monday, Monroe passed the inside information to Somers. That same day, Monroe told his broker to immediately open a new account so he could buy Steel Technologies stock. Somers also immediately traded based on the inside information. During the SEC's investigation, Stitt and Monroe contradicted each other's testimony about their communications and advance knowledge of the acquisition.
The SEC's complaint charges the eight defendants with securities fraud in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Commission seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of illicit profits with prejudgment interest, and the imposition of monetary penalties against all defendants.
Jake Schmidt, Pesach Glaser, Kara M. Washington, and James A. Davidson of the SEC's Chicago Regional Office conducted the SEC's investigation. The SEC's litigation will be led by Daniel J. Hayes. The SEC's investigation is continuing.
The SEC thanks FINRA for its cooperation and assistance in this matter.

The Accounting Historians Journal
Vol. 14, No. 1
Spring 1987
Patti A. Mills INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
Abstract: This paper examines the probative capacity of accounting records as explicated in the accounting literature of early-modern Spain. Several early examples of Hispanic legal texts constitute the principal sources. The chief findings to emerge from this study are that legal requirements greatly influenced accounting forms and procedure during this period and that Castilian jurisprudence encompassed a theory and standards of evidence to guide the use of accounting records as evidential matter.
The theory and practice of accounting have over the course of their evolution been profoundly influenced by the law. This relationship is a natural consequence of the social character of accounting activity. As Goldberg has expressed, the fact that accounting practices "are subject to constraints of law is simply a recognition that they are of sufficient significance in the lives of a sufficient number or proportion of people in the community to warrant the attention of the lawmakers" [Goldberg, 1965, p. 9].
The principal sources of legal influence on accounting have been judge-made precedent and, perhaps more obviously, out-right legislation.1 In the common law tradition, precedent exerted the earliest impact, establishing "the foundations as well as many of the specific practices in generally accepted account-ing long before statutory legislation" regulated accounting in the areas of taxation, securities, bankruptcy and elsewhere. Those countries dominated by the Roman law tradition, on the other hand, normally made earlier and more extensive use of legisla-tion in formulating accounting rules. In both cases, the use of accounting records and other business documents as legal evidence has influenced the development of accounting thought and practice. It is the purpose of this paper to explore part of the early history of this use in the European, civil law context.

A few weeks back, an unlucky Xbox owner shipped off his customised Bungie autographed console to Microsoft's repair centre, and to his horrors they wiped it clean. Bungie resigned a console for him, but now, Microsoft is chiming in with a new console with Bill's signature on it and hundreds of dollars worth of new video games.
Since Nathan's Xbox was returned stark naked, his girlfriend left him, his pet dog didn't even recognise him and people on the street looked at him in disgust. (Probably.) Such was the change in Nathan's life, he could hardly bare waking up in the mornings. However, Microsoft saw this atrocity going on, and they sure fixed it:
Despite Bungie jumping (ha!) in and giving our man all of the following:
• Legendary Edition Helmet signed by most-if not all-of the studio staff
• Halo 3 Soundtrack (two disc) signed by Marty O'Donnell (with "DO NOT ERASE!" written under his name)
• Bungie Jacket
• Bungie T-Shirt
• Halo 3 Messenger Bag
• Two Halo 3 Limited Edition Wireless Controllers (one covenant, one human)
• Halo 3 Faceplate and Skins for Xbox 360
• Four McFarlane Action Figures (MC, EVA Spartan, Brute Chieftan, Jackal Sniper)
• Halo Actionclix Preview pack (Target exclusive sticker on the front)
• Halo Actionclix Game Pack 4
• Halo 3 Wall Graffix
• Halo 3: Ghosts of Onyx Novel
• Halo Graphic Novel
• Halo 3 Wristband
• Halo 3 Hackeysack
M Nathan is, we presume, now back with his girlfriend, his dog loves him and people in the street can't wait to stop and chat with him. He's so cool, we want to be his friend. [Kotaku: 1, 2 and 3]

Sen. Rebekah Warren joins ACLU in lawsuit against Michigan's new right-to-work law
State Sen. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, joined the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan and others on Thursday in a lawsuit that aims to halt Michigan's new right-to-work law.
The lawsuit notes the doors to the state Capitol were locked to keep members of the public from entering while the legislation was being debated on Dec. 6. They believe that was in violation of the Open Meetings Act, the First Amendment and the Michigan Constitution.
State police closed down the Capitol temporarily while the legislation was being debated, citing safety concerns. Warren and the ACLU claim the public, including some journalists, were locked out for hours.
The Detroit Free Press reported on Thursday that Republicans have called the lawsuit a desperate act of people unwilling to give workers more freedom, and Gov. Rick Snyder has asked the Michigan Supreme Court to rule directly on the constitutionality of the law.
The law, which takes effect March 27, makes it illegal to require financial support of a union as a condition of employment.
According to a news release from the ACLU, the lawsuit is being brought on behalf of Warren; Bonnie Bucqueroux, an instructor at Michigan State University's School of Journalism; Steve Cook and Rick Trainor; state Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Brandon Dillon; the Michigan Education Association; Michigan State AFL-CIO; Michigan Building & Construction Trades Council; and Change to Win.
"The Open Meetings Act provides that the laws and acts of a public body may be invalidated by a court when official meetings, deliberations, or votes are held in a place that was not open and accessible to the public," the ACLU stated on Thursday. "In addition, the coalition alleges that the closure of the Capitol prevented citizens from exercising their First Amendment right to petition the government and their right under the Michigan Constitution to instruct their representatives."
The right-to-work legislation was rushed through the Legislature's lame duck session without any committee hearings or public input, causing thousands to protest outside the state Capitol as the bills were being voted on. Republicans maintain the Legislature had nothing to do with shutting down the Capitol during the right-to-work debate, though.

Right to work legislation is simply an extension of the voters overwhelming rejection of proposal 2. It is time for the left to move on and find a new base to exploit.

Where can i purchase that glamour shot photo of Rebekah Warren?
Sun, Feb 3, 2013 : 3:35 a.m.
I like how the left always consider one of their riots as a "peaceful assembly".
Sat, Feb 2, 2013 : 8 p.m.
I don't care what Madam Warren does I gave up on her some time ago. All I can say is in regard to employment, all 50 states are in competition with each other and those recovering the best are institution things like right to work. Maintaining the "same old" does not show promise. Take a look at Illinois and its solution, a record tax hike: http://illinoispolicy.org/news/article.asp?ArticleSource=4614 What I do promote however is that this law should have made a distinction between union workers and non union workers in a single workplace. A non union worker should have to negotiate pay and benefits and not be entitled to the exact same compensation and protection union members get, meaning lower pay and benefits. Why? Employers may be able to hire some workers at a lower rate and perhaps no health insurance. Some folks are covered by a spouse and unemployed, looking for any job and may well take a lower paying job in a union shop. And my experience as a union member in two unions has been much more negative than positive. Give me a good, fair boss and I will pass up union membership ASAP.
Sat, Feb 2, 2013 : 2:56 a.m.
Union members acted in a violent manner that resulted in state Police locking down the Capitol for public safety reasons. Now that same union is suing for open meeting violations. I think it was a planned stratagy. Union leaders should be deposed to see if they planned the violence knowing the Capitol would be locked down just so they could sue to block the legislation. These union folks only believe in "democracy" when it lines their own pockets. Warren is bought and paid for with union influence and the big money they use to buy her lunches.

It is a violation no matter who locked the doors. They all work for us, and have the responsibility to obey the constitution, and uphold laws even if they disagree. Laws and actions of the agents to enforce law, do not have the right to engage their ideological significances. As far as I am concerned all legislation that took place behind locked doors is to be null and void. This is our stuff here, and no one has a right to just change or ignore the laws as they see fit, and this action makes it look like they were doing something illegal anyway. Our government, our laws, our way of life, hangs in the balance if we just sit back and allow lock out sessions. It sounds sneaky, and only snakes hide under rocks.

Joe, According to one poster who was at the rally said there were about 3,000 people inside the building. The Chief State Police Inspector said they had to lock the door because it was at capacity. There are building codes (laws) they have to abide by. Are you advocating for overcapacity resulting in injuries and possible death?

How many people were convicted of violent acts at these protests? Convictions for destruction of property? Surely if these protests were that violent there must be court records to show this.
Sat, Feb 2, 2013 : 4:11 p.m.
Actually, there were 8 arrests and charges of felonies. And people were maced. All according to CNN, but let's keep ignoring these facts. After the destruction of property, Mounted Police showed up to restore order. The police were trying to maintain the peace. The victimes chose not to press charges. However, can you imagine if the Mounted Police tried to make an arrest of those who destroyed property, being outnumbered in such a hostile crows?
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 4:25 p.m.
You're confusing the lack of arrests as a sign of innocent actions. It would have created a riot had the state police ventured into the crowd to arrest the people. Further, they were too far from the actions to be able to do anything. Why hasn't the "law abiding and peaceful union" turned over the idiots who committed these actions as a point of showing adhereance to the law and self-policing their image? Oh, jail overcrowding, we could have to construct 3 new jails to house them, but at least they would be built with union peopleop

I've been a card carrying member of the ACLU for years and applaud their actions here. But Rebekah Warren is more about press releases and photo ops than pushing for Democratic Party values and accomplishments. Her 'most liberal member of the Michigan Senate' is a nice bullet point on her resume but her sitting out the 2010 election for Governor and not even giving lip service to the Democratic candidate, supporting the RTA vote and the political interests of her County Commissioner spouse rather than the interests of AATA and Ann Arbor taxpayers and showing up for photo ops with the Governor as all clear indications she talks a good game and knows how to garner good press, but has been ineffective and invisible when it comes to looking out for votes of her district. This press release is more of the same.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 2:10 p.m.
Does anybody else remember when flip flopping was a bad thing? The people that don't want unions and hate the government called out union cops to protect government agents. This cost the taxpayers almost $900,00, and the low tax, less government people cheer it on. The people that will rise up in arms if the government "comes for them" called out the government to protect them, yet cannot understand why anybody would protest these new laws. The people that whine about Obama's "dictatorship" cheer late night legislation that has riders attached so that the new law CANNOT be voted on by The People. The people that whine about freeloaders and takers want laws that allow freeloaders. The people that tell us not to rely on cops to protect us called out the cops. The people that talk all tough about "protecting themselves" are afraid of pen knives and box cutters. They use heavily edited footage to bolster their case, producing not one conviction for a violent act. They want Right to Work Laws, but will go into uproar mode if anybody actually suggests that people have a right to work, that would be Marxism. Core values are not what they used to be.

Again, please provide the video you speak of. You are good at putting words in quotations, but it doesn't make your point. No one was arrested in that incident because the victim declined to press charges. However, people were arrested and charged with felonies, while others forced police to use mace on them. All according to CNN. But keep believing that there were no violence, and no one was arrested.

I agree with several comments on the ACLU getting involved, so much for civil liberty and the individual mandate to join a union. Where were they on the individual mandate on Obamacare. Also, since a lot of people who came to this rally were from other states, what gives them the right to protest in our state capitol? They didn't elect any representatives, they don't pay taxes here, they can't claim that they have a right to be in the capitol because they paid for it, and the laws being voted on won't apply to them. The capitol was full, it wasn't feasible to allow any more people into it from outside, and what were the police supposed to do at the door, check ID's to allow only Michigan citizens in? Oh, wait, asking for ID's also is against the liberal union policies, except when they require an ID to vote in union elections. Yup, it's that all-about-me-I'm-entitled-to-it-but-not-you mindset.
Sat, Feb 2, 2013 : 12:53 a.m.
laws are laws, and I basically don't care what they were voting on, just that they were in violation of our constitution, and all laws that were voted on during that time have to be null and void. If the legislation is so great that they feel the need to lock the doors, that bill or bills should have gone up for a vote of the people.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 1:18 p.m.
So let's see if I have this straight: I can't go see a movie I want becaue the theater is full, AND TH FIRE CODE PREVENTS OVERCROWDING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PATRONS, just like buses, trains, elevators, etc. If you you looked at the pictures of the capitol, you can clearly understand that this isn't about an open meeting violation, it' about how many people were outside trying to get into an already packed statehouse. They had to stop people coming in for THEIR safety, there simply wasn't enough room for all of them. If you don't think that is a problem, think about the fire in the nightclub where over 220 people died, most from being trampled.

It was a weird process. No committee hearings. Locking out the public. Lame duck Legislature. But the suit probably won't go anywhere. If it's in state court, the Mich. Sup. Ct. will have a 5-2 Republican majority after Gov. Snyder's next appointment. And federal courts increasingly don't like to get involved in Legislative proceedings. The suit may have the benefit of establishing when politicians can meet in secret and when they can't.

Earl, 26 states sued over Obamacare, that is more than half the nation. Frankly if I were President and that many states sued over one of my policies, I would be very embarrassed. I think each state should be able to opt in or opt out, not forced to comply with a program they do not want.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 2:43 p.m.
Sorry, Obamacare isn't through yet. While SCOTUS ruled on the individual mandate (odd that the ACLU didn't challenge personal liberties on that), the religious challenges have not been argued on. Several cases have had federal judges already issue injunctions against the fed for violating religious freedoms. One of them in particular was Liberty University. They lost in a circuit court, and appealed to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals who refused to hear the case ruling it didn't have merit. Well, on Monday, the Supreme Court ordered the 4th Circuit to hear the case. Oh, Obamacare is not done by a longshot, and before you reply with "it's signed into law" you can't override an Amendment with a law, you can only do that with an Amendment. But then again, Obama is notorious for following the Constitution, NOT!

Case goes to full blown Appelate (moderate). Case either gets affirmed for either Snyder OR ACLU. Losing side appeals. 4 - case goes to the state Supreme Court (conservative- currently 4-2 Repub,.. soon to be 5-2)) - Case is affirmed in favor of Snyder. Now the taxpayers are on the hook for thousands in attorney fees. RTW moves on and is instituted in March. This is the same crap we see all the time. A case starts out in Ingham County and ends up with the Supreme Court. A totally frivolous lawsuit filed by left wing loons. The loser is the State taxpayer who has to pay for all of this crap.

They will win this one unless the Courts are stacked (brought and paid for) to rendered a "different" result. Michigan's Open Michigan Act is very clear. There is no reason to keep people out of a public meeting expressing their grievances, just because certain "officials" did not care to hear what opinions might be expressed. Being at the Capitol this day, I was applauded at the downright disrespect displayed to Michigan Residents, who pay for this building and all employees salary/benefits in it, to operate. Furthermore, to see the State Police mandated to keep guard with tables, guns and non-verbal force from citizens seeking to enter chambers were this legislation was being voted upon, was distributing to say the least. This is frankly beyond the Right to Work bill -- although this piece of legislation has everything to do with this lawsuit. The bigger question is whether we have a Governmental process were people can have ADEQUATE notification and opportunity to peacefully express disagreements with potential laws and statues passed in our House and Senate chambers. There's no reason, what-so-ever, the People should be locked out, kept out, pepper sprayed and have unreasonable force used upon them for their displeasure with measures being debated in OUR State Legislator. Add the Open Meeting Act along the First Amendment "Free Speech" rights, and it would appear that this lawsuit has legs.

Again YpsiGirl4Ever, Since you were inside, and as well as many others, up to 3,000 according to your other post please explain how that is in violation of OMA? And are you calling state police Inspector Jean Adamczyk a liar? From CNN: "The building was locked down because its capacity had been exceeded, he said. Enough people had gotten in to fill the gallery." Quote from State Police Inspector, Jean Adamczyk.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 11:38 p.m.
Wrong on ALL points... First I was in the Capitol building from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM ET this day. The building was NOT over capacity in anyway. The State Police assisted with the regulation of traffic into and out of the building. I'm quite sure State Police Officers can count and how to regulate residents seeking to enter the building for crowd control measures. So, again the building was locked down due to Governor Rick Snyder and associated co-conspirators mandating the Capitol to be closed to keep the public. The public who ironically pay their salaries, benefits and for the operation of the building itself. Snyder and Company sole purpose for locking down the Capitol was to keep the People from expressing their displeasure against pending RTW Legislation. Violations of OMA & the 1st Amendment in this case is CLEAR and the ACLU will WIN this case. Finally, being inside the Capitol and knowing the levels of traffic for nearly 5.5 hours this day, if the ACLU need a first hand account of what occurred when, I would be more than happy to help. No talking points from Right Wing Sites or Faux News necessary as on the ground reporting and analysis is always more factual!

actually, it's called a "fire code". every public/commercial building has a limit as to how many people may occupy it at any given time. For the capitol viewing area, it's 2,200. People (those who made it inside) were waiting literally hours to see the legislature in action due to the crowds. By law, they had to shut the doors. The suit will be thrown out quite quickly. Besides, the Gov has already asked the State Supreme Court to review the law as quickly as possible in preparation for the next round of state-union negotiations.

YpsiGirl4ever, You were the one that posted twice with, in essence, the same misinformation. So a reply was warranted to both of them to correct your misinformation. Again, you never answered the question, how is it a violation of the OMA if there was already people in the room and it was at capacity? Are you in favor of people getting injured or possibly killed because of overcapacity? And while you are at it, please provide your "proof" that there was no violence and it was all a set up.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 1:24 p.m.
This isn't about the bill itself, but about an open meetings violation. And, after the tent being torn down by protesters armed with knives and box openers (at a "peaceful" rally no less), plus the blocking of several streets outside the ones that were blocked off for them to use, the State Police had no choice but to exercise cautions and supervision-this was a very angry crowd. Plus, what about fire code and the amount of people that are in the building? If you were there, how many more people could you have safely crammed into the statehouse? There were too many outside to allow all of them in and have it be a safe environment, no, I think the courts are going to rule that it was an open meeting, but there were too many people to be allowed in that it would violate safety codes that also apply to movie theaters, bars, elevators, trains, etc.

How did these people get in there if they were locked out? "Authorities arrested eight people and locked down the building," according to CNN. "People have a right to protest but it will be done in an orderly manner," state police Inspector Jean Adamczyk told CNN affiliate WDIV. "The building was locked down because its capacity had been exceeded, he said. Enough people had gotten in to fill the gallery." So are you suggesting to let the room fill beyond it's capacity, where people could be injured or killed? We will let the judges decide whether this was a violation of the OMA. I guess the judge(s) will look at whether or not there were people in the room, (they were at capacity). If they were at capacity, I guess that would suggest there were people in the room and there was no violation of the OMA.

What does how many people outside of the building have anything to do with how many people are inside of the building when it is at capacity? But if we are to believe your numbers that 12,000 (75%) were outside of the building so that means 25% of them were inside the building or 3,000. How is that a violation of OMA? And what is considered capacity where the protesters were trying to access after the State Inspector said it was at capacity? Oh, and let's not forget the police were forced to use mace and 8 people were charged with felonies. So much for "peaceful."

Let su look at some facts: 1: Obama ran on "fixing" the health care mess in this country Snyder said RTW was" not on his Agenda" and said it was "too divisive" 2: The congress held many, many hearings, members went on the talking head show circuit for months. Amendments were allowed and voted on. The votes were cast AFTER an election, AFTER the new members had been seated. The MI GOP allowed very little debate, the laws were passed at night, in a lame duck session 3: There was a NEED for health insurance reform in this country, millions of people were asking the government to do something. In Michigan the only outcry was from a few people. Did you see a SINGLe ad for RTW asking us to "call our senators"? Big differences.

Mallen, Wrong on MULTIPLE points. One, the building was locked down not due to "over-capacity" in the least. It was 12K protesters, 75% or so was outside of the building. The State Police and Capitol Police keep letting people in and out of the building until they were ORDERED to lock it down by Governor Rick Snyder. Clear violation of the Open Meetings Act, period. I know you'll hate to admit when your wrong, but you're extremely wrong here. Next JBK, As for the Affordable Health Care Act, MANY, MANY meetings were held by Congressman and Senators nationwide about ACA.

Ypsi girl - Gee! This kind of reminds me of ObamaCare. It was rammed down our throats WhenPelosi was asked a rather general question about the content of the bill, she replied "I have no clue, read it for yourself." Furthermore, Obama promised that all of the hearings on health care would be on CSPAN1 & 2. It never happened. It was done behind closed doors with Pelosi, Reed and Obama (the holy trinity). Perhaps you can enlighten us on what is different.

Ken, This Lawsuit is about the PROCESS that the Right-to-Work legislation was passed. Clear violations of Michigan's Open Meeting Act occurred. Governor Snyder or people working on his behalf, had no rights to order a "lockdown" of the Capitol building during its' posted public hours, to keep residents from expressing their displeasure with the Right-to-Work legislation. Frankly, this is what disturbs me about some Republicans. In order to get this law passed, it had to be done behind close doors, without committee hearings, in less than 48 hours and the People having grievances to express about this bill were "locked out" of a building that THEY PAID FOR to operate. It would be further disturbing if you don't see where this is a problem, regardless of political party affiliation. Suggested reading for you Ken is Michigan Open Meeting Act, passed into law by Republican Governor William Milliken. Here's a link for you: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/ag/OMA_handbook_287134_7.pdf

That is the politically correct thing to do these days - if the opposition passes a law you don't like, head to court. The last thing clowns like Rebekkkah Warren will ever do is try and work with people she disagrees with.

Clownfish, What does that have to do with passing a budget? There are useless people on both sides of the aisle, but when the Senate (controlled by the democrats) haven't passed a budget in three years that is low, especially when by law they are required to do so.

But, we know the dems are clowns and hypcrites, the GOP is supposed to be the adults in the room, what with their mandate from God and their core values.

Anyone should have a choice whether they want their money going to for Liberal atendas. Unions and ACLU doesn't like it because it means less money for them. I don't see the ACLU fighting for people who don't want it.

PAT, yes you can be exempted from Obamacare. I could print the list of companies that have received exemptions, but it would clog the page. Have you dropped any current health insurance as protest? You were allowed to vote last November, how did that turn out? Unions have elections, each member can run. Public sector union members can get raises, don't know where you got that tidbit. Public Police and fire unions are EXEMPT from the new RTW law. Unions still negotiate hours, working conditions, staffing, training and benefits.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 2:29 p.m.
Clownfish: I can't be exempted from Obamacare, even though the people who voted for it are. Members of the unions get to vote, I ask, do you need to show your union ID to vote in union elections like the pictures I've seen? And since only 13% of the Michigan workforce is unionized, and over 80% of them are teachers and government workers who legally can't strike, can't get a raise, and really can't do anything for their mandated union dues, isn't that a lot like taxation without respresentation? And, do the union bosses fit into the 1% with their elevated pay? And which tax laws are they using to keep their money? I think giving middle class workers the choice is a civil liberty, and to deny them the choice is a violation of their civil liberties.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 1:44 p.m.
Members of unions get to vote on where the money goes. Do you have a problem with democracies? Do you stop paying your federal taxes if the money goes to Israel or Egypt? Can I exempt myself from MI income tax if I don't like what the state GOP does with it?

"Republicans maintain the Legislature had nothing to do with shutting down the Capitol during the right-to-work debate, though." But, agents of the government, the state police, did. That may count as a violation still.

YpsiGirl4Ever and Clownfish, There are many youtube videos showing the violence and threats of violence at the "peaceful" rally. There was even one showing a union member throwing something at the police. But I bet one of you, possibly both, will say he wasn't a union member and was a plant! I read the "blog" that supposedly claimed that the hotdog man was all a set up. First, there is no disputing the fact that the man was hired by Americans For Prosperity. He even said so himself...no conspiracy there. Anyone who had a coupon got a hotdog. Again, overwhelming video evidence shows union members attacking the tent (in which he was in) and destroying his property. And according to him he was called many despicable names. But YpsiGirl wants to continue to believe it was a set up. Nice to know that YpsiGirl4Ever is calling the State Police Inspector Jean Adamczyk a liar. "People have a right to protest but it will be done in an orderly manner," state police Inspector Jean Adamczyk told CNN affiliate WDIV. "The building was locked down because its capacity had been exceeded, he said. Enough people had gotten in to fill the gallery."
Sat, Feb 2, 2013 : 3:52 a.m.
What's absolutely amazing about most of this so-called "in the back dark corner" analysis of what took place in Lansing this day. Its' highly doubtful none of these individuals making fallacy based claims of "violence" in Lansing, where there. You know, like actually in attendance in Lansing that day. Ironically, I was there. So, let's run this down one last time. 1. The "Pork on a bun" hot dog attack of GOP Operative Clint Tarver was a falsehood. Google "Pork on a bun attack Michigan" and read the blog resource that told the true story of what happened with Tarver. 2. American for Prosperity group loosen their OWN tent, another Briethart.com operative provoked intentionally, union members who attended the protest on the Capitol grounds. 3. The Capitol building was never at a level of over-capacity, as I was there, in the building most of the day (See reply below). The State Police monitored traffic going into and out of the building the entire day. Governor Snyder demanded before the Noon hour the Capitol lock down for no reason. It took a Circuit Court Judge emergency ruling to order the building be reopened to the People. If it was a "fire hazard" situation going on as some falsely claim, why would a sane Circuit Court Judge order the building re-opened? He or she wouldn't. 4. In the end, the building was closed to stop the People from expressing their grievances against Right to Work legislation, during a open session in both legislative chambers. This is a clear violation of the Open Meeting Act and First Amendment of our United States Constitution. The ACLU is within its right to file a lawsuit on both on both of these matters and should WIN their case.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 8:36 p.m.
If I have this right, one person punching someone from the lamestream media represents the entire crowd and called for the $900,000 bill from the police unions? Did this occur inside the building? The YOUTUBE video I saw came from Breitbart.com, there may be others out there. Breitbart has a long history of editing tape, sometimes even going so far as to produce "evidence" the exact opposite of what they claim. Nice to know that our conservative friends actually agree that safety regulations have merit and that media elites deserve government protection. Not very often they come right out ans say it.

@Clownfish: go to Youtube, you can see the unedited tape (Martin Bashir and MSNBC did not make it!) you can see the reporter being calm, and getting punched. There was nothing calm or peaceful about that rally, and to think, a lot of these people teach our kids! Box cutters, knives, destruction or private property. @Ypsi: 2 reason I can think of as to why they had to lock the doors, 1. There were people from other states there who are not Michigan citizens, therefore they are not entitled (whoops, that's a bad phrase for Democrats, I better wash my mouth out whith soap) to be in there, and 2. Safey reasons, and in fire code violations and the number of people in the building, just like a movie theater or an elevator. Where on Earth do you think they were going to put all the people outside when the inside was already full? Is it your solution, and that of the ACLU and Rep. Warren that all should be allowed in, so we should build a bigger capitol building to accomodate the armed thugs and bullies bussed in?
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 1:40 p.m.
I would like to see some UNEDITED tape of this alleged "violence". Anybody have any? SO far I know of one "struggle" in which one man was allegedly struck, we have contradictory evidence about who went first. It looks like there was less violence at the rally than at a UM football game, Eastern Basketball game or a Pioneer/Huron football game. But then, I could see the Tough Guys of the NRA being cowed by some nurses and teachers, so maybe the fear is justified.

@YpsiGirl, let's find a better example of a governor using force against its citizens. Kent, Ohio - May 4, 1970 Governor James Rhodes was not convicted or charged with killing 4 students, even though he ordered the Ohio National Guard onto campus against a real peaceful public protest. This is far more egregious than having the state police lock a few doors to keep protestors from disrupting the business of the state. However Governor Rhodes's action was not considered to be illegal. Your claims of force are overstated.
Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 4:09 a.m.
YpsiGirl4Ever ..."who came to peacefully express grievances against the Right to Work bill(s)." Really? So I must have imagined a union thug throwing punches at someone. I must have imagined seeing knives being taken out of union thugs pockets and them cutting ropes to a tent. I must have imagined them flipping tables over and the thugs screaming about more violence. And you say they were there peacefully? The union thugs threatened violence causing the local and state police to come out and protect innocent people.

Fri, Feb 1, 2013 : 1:35 a.m.
That statement is a lie in itself. Governor Snyder, the de facto Commander-in-Chief of our State Police by his position as Michigan's Highest Elected Official, ORDERED the State Police to take force against residents who came to peacefully express grievances against the Right to Work bill(s). Unless Governor Rick Snyder has since December 6, 2012 changed his political affiliation to the Democrat, Green, Libertarian, Constitutional, Justice or a Independent Party, he was elected as a Republican and remains so to this day. So, yes a Republican named Rick Snyder had everything to do with the State Police and State Capitol Police shutting down the Capitol Building. Residents of Michigan might have a bit more respect for these Republican officials if they would stop lying about what happened on the day this Right to Work bill was passed.

Cardinals' Wainwright impressed by Wacha
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright understands if Cardinal fans believe Michael Wacha is the future.
Even though he finished 19-9 last season with a 2.94 ERA, second in the Cy Young balloting, he knows why there is so much buzz about Wacha.
One of the most promising young arms in baseball, Wacha wowed everyone with his performance late last season. Wacha posted a 2.78 ERA in 15 regular-season games in his rookie season. However, the starter from Texas A&M made five postseason starts for the Cardinals that has everyone excited to see what he can do in 2014.
Including Wainwright.
"Michael, if he does what he did down the stretch and if he does that for a whole season, he's going to be in the Cy Young talks," Wainwright said Saturday at the annual Cardinals Winter Warmup. "I think Michael may be one of the most talented pitchers I've seen. He's a guy who almost threw a no-hitter and then almost threw another no-hitter.
"I'm very, very impressed with his game. I'd like to see it through a whole season."
Wacha came within one out of a no-hitter before allowing an infield single to Washington's Ryan Zimmerman last Sept. 24. His late-season success helped him nab a spot in the Cardinals' postseason starting rotation ahead of fellow rookie and 15-game winner Shelby Miller.
Wacha did not disappoint. In Game 4 of the NLDS against Pittsburgh, Wacha allowed one run on one hit and two walks with nine strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings. He carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning. Wacha then outdueled Clayton Kershaw in the Cardinals' 1-0 victory in Game 2 of the NLCS. He also bested Kershaw in Game 6. Wacha finished the NLCS with 13 strikeouts in 13 2/3 scoreless innings to earn MVP honors.
He got the start in Game 2 of the World Series and helped the Cardinals to a victory. His magic run ended in Game 6 when Boston erupted for six earned runs on five hits and four walks, chasing Wacha from the game after only 3 2/3 innings.
Wacha finished his first postseason with a 4-1 record, 2.64 ERA in 30 2/3 innings.
Last March, the Cardinals signed Wainwright, who did not go through free agency, to a $97.5 million, five-year contract covering 2014-18. Wainwright is 99-57 with a 3.11 ERA with St. Louis.
Meanwhile, Kershaw recently signed a $215 million, seven-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers to make him baseball's richest pitcher.
"I have no regrets," Wainwright said. "That was the deal I wanted to sign. I didn't have to sign it. I'm right where I want to be. I love pulling up every day and seeing the Arch and the stadium. We have a chance to win every year."
He is anxious for another chance to pitch in the postseason after losing his last three starts.
"I just think we have a great team. We have a great chance to go far into the playoffs and make another World Series run," Wainwright said. "We have to out there and make it happen."

A brush fire in the San Gabriel Mountains that prompted the evacuation of Labor Day weekend campers and picnickers in the hills above Glendora, Calif. and burned more than 4,000 acres continued to rage Monday afternoon.
Containment of the so-called Williams Fire remained at 5 percent, unchanged from Sunday night.
Fire crews continued the aerial attack on the blaze about 10 miles south of Highway 2. As of 3:45 p.m., at least 20,000 gallons of fire retardant had been dropped on the fire from DC-10 aircraft.
The fire was moving on Monday afternoon toward Rattlesnake Canyon Ridge. Fire officials said the goal was to stop the fire there.
Some 1,000 people, many of them enjoying the three-day holiday, were evacuated from several communities and from three campgrounds as the fire spread in the largely recreational area, said Nathan Judy, a spokesman with the Angeles National Forest.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies searched hillside trails for any hikers who were still walking in the hills. The evacuations started after 3 p.m. Sunday in the area off of San Gabriel Canyon Road in Azusa. Officials closed roads leading into the hills.
The Williams Fire, which had grown to between 30 and 40 acres by 3:45 p.m., was initially reported at 2:30 p.m. as a 4-acre blaze. It grew to more than 700 acres by 5 p.m. and 3,600 acres by 9 p.m., according to fire officials.
Highway 39 was closed early Monday.
The fire is named after Camp Williams, which according its the website, is a "quiet haven tucked away in the spectacular San Gabriel Mountains." It offers camping, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, and panning for gold. The camp, located at the San Gabriel River East Fork has full-hook-up RV sites under giant oak trees.
The fire was burning uphill into heavy timber and steep, rugged terrain, fire officials said. Temperatures hovered in the low 80s and winds gusted to 12 mph by Sunday evening, forecasters said.
By morning morning, it was 75 degrees with 31 percent humidity, fire officials said. Winds gusted at about 2 mph.
A gray plume of smoke could be seen by commuters for miles. Some 400 firefighters were battling the blaze from the ground and air.
Maritza Martinez got out of the area when she noticed smoke.
"When we came up, we noticed a whole bunch of smoke and we started to notice something is burning and little by little the smoke started to grow," she said. "My little sister was like, 'Let's go! Let's go!'"
The experience was a first for Catharine Vega, one of nearly 12,000 visitors expected to use the park during the holiday weekend.
"I've never seen a real fire except on TV," she said. "We stopped to see, and we saw actual flames and it was scary because we didn't know what to do.
"You come here to enjoy and we were having fun."

Chaos: The Battle of Wizards sequel announced 27 years later
Famed game designer Julian Gollop has announced that he is working on a sequel to his 1985 ZX Spectrum title, Chaos: The Battle of Wizards.
The seemingly out-of-nowhere news came via Gollop's Twitter account, where he wrote: "OK it's official! I am working on a sequel/remake to my classic ZX Spectrum game 'Chaos' – for iOS, PC, Mac – maybe more." Additional platforms could include Android, Linux, and Ouya.
Gollop says that the sequel will "be in 3D for sure" and that it'll use the Unity3D engine. Anyone who played the original Chaos will be happy that he's planning "to keep combat/movement very close to the original, with some tweaks" too.
Other than that, we can't say much else for now. That makes sense, though, considering Gollop only started working on the game last week.
Gollop, along with his brother Nick, are perhaps best known for creating the original X-COM: UFO Defense, which of course received a spiritual successor earlier this year in XCOM: Enemy Unknown (although Gollop wasn't involved in that one).
Chaos, meanwhile, was another turn-based strategy game that, not surprisingly, featured wizard battles instead of alien ones. A sequel, Lords of Chaos, was made five years later.
Thanks, PCGamer.
