[UPDATE 11/19 - We've added New Hampshire to our tour for December 18th!]
We just couldn't take not being out on the road, talking about tech, so we're heading back out again in December for the Winter Northeast Roadshow!
This, our seventh Roadshow, will feature a ton of great stuff like jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX, WPF, WF, Silverlight and WCF/REST, and even some interesting things from Microsoft Research!
Join my fellow road and code warrior, Jim O'Neil and me for a relaxed day of deep content for developers and architects. Oh, and it's free.
We're heading to six cities in December:
- Rochester, NY: December 2nd [registration] Venue Change
- Albany, NY: December 3rd [registration] Venue Change
- Burlington, VT: December 4th [registration] Venue Change
- Farmington, CT: December 9th [registration]
- Waltham, MA: December 15th [registration]
- Augusta, ME: December 16th [registration] Venue Change
- Nashua, NH: December 18th [registration] NEWLY ADDED!
Most of our stops for the Fall Northeast Roadshow filled up, so if you're interested, register early.
[Times are for all events except Rochester, NY, which starts 30 minutes earlier.]
8:30 – Register, Grab Some Coffee, and Pull Up A Chair
9:00 - Morning TechUpdate
Before we dive into the sessions, we'll take some time to update you on the latest news, tools and technology from the developer world.
9:15 - Turbo Boosting for Web Developers: Using jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX
Like things that help you go faster? Of course! That's why we're focusing this session on the powerful set of features that jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 offer web developers. We'll get up to speed with jQuery, a popular open source JavaScript library with powerful features, a concise syntax with chained commands, but at the same time is fully extensible via a plugin-based architecture. Microsoft will be distributing jQuery (as-is) with Visual Studio going forward, and offers IntelliSense support for jQuery as well. We'll complement that with a look at the latest in ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX with Visual Studio 2008 to provide extra code-writing acceleration along the way. Like hitting "Boost" in your favorite racing game, jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX will have you speeding toward great rich internet applications in no time!
10:45 - Workflow Foundation (WF) Steals the Show
As Shakespeare put it, "All the world's a stage", and WPF and WCF love to bask in the limelight, but now it's time for their cousin, Windows Workflow Foundation, to assume the leading role. We'll go beyond the usual introductory demos to show that, despite lacking a third letter in its acronym, WF is a very powerful environment for building robust and scalable applications that capture complex and real-world business processes. From dashing good looks (a visual designer which you can even host in your own applications) to dazzling abilities such as new options for integration with WCF (both as a service provider and consumer), resumable programmable activities as building blocks, and built-in services for persistence, transactions, scheduling and tracking, WF is a standout performer for any application. We'll have Hamlet saying, "The Workflow's the thing!"
12:00 - Lunch in the Lab: A Look at Tools & Tech from Microsoft Research
Grab some lunch, get out your Bunsen burners and microscopes, and join us as we don lab coats and take a tour of the latest and greatest tools and technology from Microsoft Research. From developer tools that you can use today like CHESS and Pex, future tech like DryadLINQ, to the just plain cool of AutoCollage, Boku, and SecondLight, there's a lot for us to experiment on. We promise not to set anything on fire in this lab, well, unless you ask nicely…
1:00 - Deeper into Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) has a rich set of features to create visually appealing, high-performance applications on the .NET Framework with declarative markup. And perhaps you've seen the "hello world" demos and get the general idea. But you say "Great! What else can I do with it?" Funny you should ask, because that's exactly what this session is about. After a brief introduction to WPF, we'll dive into the host of new features that .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 has brought – enhanced 3D capabilities, Visual Studio designer improvements, and more. We'll cover important WPF topics such as interoperability with WinForms and achieving reuse via resources, templates, and user controls. Finally, we'll round out the talk by showing the new WPF Toolkit, including new WPF controls like Calendar, DatePicker, and DataGrid. Now, aren't you glad you asked?
2:30 - Adventures in Data with Silverlight, WCF REST, and ADO.NET Data Services
You've heard that REST is the talk of the town (well, the really geeky part of town) these days, but what does it mean to you, someone who needs to get work DONE? Get ready to improve your Silverlight skills, because this session features a practical, code-based focus on the use of the new WCF REST Starter Kit, ADO.NET Data Services (formerly Astoria), and databinding techniques to tap the power of RESTful services. A from-scratch implementation will be created, using Silverlight to build a data-centric application covering concepts such as the WebClient and HTTPWebRequest objects, syndication formats, cross domain policy, and data binding in XAML.
3:50 – Wrapup, Evals, and Giveaways
Geek Gatherings
It's always nice to unwind after a Roadshow, and we'd love to chat with other developers in the community, we're looking at our options for informal gatherings at local brewpubs and the like after each event (except Rochester, which will need to be the night before on 12/1).
Let us know if you have the "perfect place" to be social (and my personal preference, has good beer) in your city and we'll help get the word out!
A huge thanks goes to the companies and organizations who volunteer their space for the Roadshow visits!
This time, we return to two venues that have been great hosts for previous Roadshows. In Rochester, NY, we again descend upon Rochester Institute of Technology's Golisano Auditorium. In Burlington, VT (well, Williston, actually), we return to Vermont Technical College.
In the Albany, NY area, Autotask has graciously offered their meeting facilities for the event.
Last, but by no means least, thanks to great support by the developer community in Maine (and a 100% packed room last time!), we're running the Roadshow in the much larger Florian Auditorium at the Central Maine Commerce Center.
Every Roadshow we do quite honestly is a blast for us (well, once we're ready and out on the road,) and we hope you'll enjoy it too.
We'll see you soon!

{nl} The June Buchanan School Kindergarten students got a big surprise when Ronnie Slone came to visit. Ronnie is a fire fighter with the Pippa Passes Volunteer Fire Department and brought the fire engine for the students to explore. Students got to inspect the fire hose, look at the outfits that fire fighters wear when on duty, and see how a generator helps produce energy when the power is out. The students had a lot of questions, and Ronnie answered each of them. Students even got to hear the siren on the fire truck! This special event was planned by Kindergarten student Bo Hall. Each week, the JBS Kindergarten class has a Student of the Week who plans various activities for his or her classmates. As Student of the Week, Bo wanted everyone to see what a real fire fighter does and planned this special visit. Many thanks to Ronnie Slone and the Pippa Passes Volunteer Fire Department for making this day so memorable!

UPDATE: BREAKING NEWS: TEA recommends BISD takeover
UPDATE: Jefferson County District Attorney Cory Crenshaw responds to the TEA announcement of a takeover recommendation.
"We would like to take this opportunity to let the community know that now is the time for those who have knowledge of wrongdoing at the school district and wrongdoing themselves to come forward," Crenshaw stated. "We are asking that all individuals with knowledge of criminal activity at BISD to meet with us, tell the truth, and agree to cooperate.
"Change within this school district is imminent, and this opportunity will hopefully allow for swift justice."
The Task Force assigned to the BISD investigation from the DA's office can be reached at (409) 926-9830.
The Examiner spoke to state Rep. Joe Deshotel, who said he received a text from Commissioner Michael Williams of the Texas Education Agency on Tuesday, April 1, that TEA investigators recommended a takeover of the Beaumont Independent School District.
Commissioner Williams will be in Beaumont on Thursday, April 3, to meet with the Board of Trustees and the superintendent to allow them to make a case as to why he should not take his staff's recommendations.
Desohotel said it was clear from the commissioner that he had not made a final decision yet but would on Thursday after his meeting.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has said that the club is nota one man Robin van Persie team.
van Persie, 29, has made a stunning start to his Old Trafford career, scoring 21 goals, including 10 in his last 10 games, but Fergie reckoned that United are not overly reliant on the Dutchman.
According to the Sun, the Scot said that he did not go along with the idea that they have become a one-man team.
He said that there was a time in history when Eric Cantona kept them in contention with his goals when a few others were off the boil, but things are quite different now.
He added that Javier Hernandez has weighed in with 12 goals while Wayne Rooney is currently on nine.
According to the report, two defenders, Johnny Evans and Patrice Evra, have chipped in with eight between them so it doesn't stand up to see us as a one-man band overly dependent on Van Persie, brilliant as he has been at both making and taking goals.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini earlier this month had said that missing out on signing Van Persie could cost his side the title.
And Fergie agrees with his rival that the 22 million pounds hit man could be the difference come May. (ANI)

England v Barbarians, Twickenham, May 27
New-look England to tackle Barbarians
ESPN Staff
May 25, 2012

England boss Stuart Lancaster has named a strong line-up to tackle the Barbarians at Twickenham on Sunday.
The uncapped trio of winger Christian Wade and flankers Carl Fearns and Tom Johnson have been given a chance press their Test claims ahead of the forthcoming series against South Africa but it is a relatively experienced side for what is a non-cap game.
Lancaster, stripped of the 18 players from Harlequins and Leicester who will contest the Aviva Premiership final on Saturday, has named 11 players who featured in this year's Six Nations including fullback Ben Foden, winger Chris Ashton, centre Brad Barritt, scrum-half Lee Dickson and Owen Farrell who switches to inside centre with Charlie Hodgson handed the No.10 shirt. Wade, the second highest try scorer in the Aviva Premiership this season with nine tries, gets his chance on the left wing having edged out David Strettle.
Up front, Dylan Hartley starts at hooker in his first game back after serving an eight-week ban for biting Stephen Ferris in England's Six Nations victory over Ireland in March. Hartley will be propped by Matt Stevens, who starts on the loosehead side, and Paul Doran-Jones while Mouritz Botha and Tom Palmer pack down in the second row. Fearns and Johnson start in the back row either side of Phil Dowson who was confirmed as captain earlier this week.
"We are treating this as a very important game for setting the foundations for the tour," said Lancaster. "The players have been excellent this week and have been fully focussed as we are looking to build on the momentum of the Six Nations. This is a really important milestone in our preparation for South Africa.
"With the Leicester and Harlequins players unavailable it's a great opportunity for those other players involved in the Six Nations to lead the way. Some of the younger players have a chance to put a marker down and get their first taste of international rugby such as Christian Wade on the wing, Joe Launchbury, Alex Goode and Jonathan Joseph on the bench. Being able to name a back line very similar to the Six Nations and the strength we have in the forwards with the likes of Tom Johnson and Carl Fearns, who played in this game last year, is a real positive.
"The support we had at Twickenham against Wales and Ireland was fantastic and we can't wait to get back there. The Barbarians have a really strong team packed with talent and experience and having been involved in this fixture before I know it will be a great occasion."
England team to face Barbarians:
B Foden (Northampton Saints); C Ashton (Northampton Saints), B Barritt (Saracens), O Farrell (Saracens), C Wade (London Wasps); C Hodgson (Saracens), L Dickson (Northampton Saints); M Stevens (Saracens), D Hartley (Northampton Saints), P Doran Jones (Northampton Saints), M Botha (Saracens), T Palmer (Stade Francais), T Johnson (Exeter Chiefs), C Fearns (Bath Rugby), P Dowson (Northampton Saints, capt).
Replacements: L Mears (Bath Rugby), M Mullan (Worcester Warriors), J Launchbury (London Wasps), J Gibson (London Irish), R Wigglesworth (Saracens), J Joseph (London Irish), A Goode (Saracens).

The new training year started at the automation company Pilz in Ostfildern on 5 September. A total of six trainees and 6 students from the dual system offered by the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences (DHBW) are starting their professional careers. In addition to the training places, Pilz also offers a wide range of internships, providing support with career choice orientation. This traditional company is deeply rooted in the region, acting as mentor and providing support as a member of the "Society of Friends of Esslingen University of Applied Sciences".
Ostfildern, Sep 6, 2016
Start of the new training year at Pilz in Ostfildern – Education without limits
Studies or vocational training? – with the automation experts from Pilz, school leavers have the choice. Classic professions requiring vocational training are the training courses for "Mechatronic engineers" or "Electronics engineers for devices and systems", which last more than three and a half years. Cooperation with Baden Württemberg University (DHBW) has been in place for some years already – Pilz offers the dual course of study via the Faculty of Technology in the following courses: "Electrical engineering, specialising in automation", "Computer science, specialising in information technology", "Applied computer science" and "Engineering management", in this case with the focus on "Production and logistics". Stefanie Adams is dual-system student: "The training at Pilz is very well organised: My training plan is fixed for three years, so I always know what comes when. I also attend lots of courses on subjects such as IT or Lotus Notes – it's a totally different scenario for some of my fellow students," she says, summarising her course of study.
Going abroad – worldwide learning is part of it
Workplace training abroad is also a fixed part of the training for trainees and DHBW students. At least one stay abroad with one of our subsidiaries is planned, with the opportunity for project work beyond the varied curriculum. Trainees go to France or Switzerland; students for example may go to Ireland or the Chinese subsidiary in Shanghai. Trainees are taken on after completing their training; prospects and opportunities for promotion within the company are always available. The job opportunities in production, development, customer support or production technology, for example, are diverse.
Check out the widest range of internships
Pilz even offers internships for school students: First impressions of the world of electronic automation are available via "annual holidays", "BORS" and"BOGY" (vocational orientation at secondary or grammar schools) or "Girls Days". But it's not just school students trying things out at Pilz; an internship is also possible to weigh up individual qualifications for a job in electrical engineering. Particularly when applicants have completed their training abroad or are returning to work.
In-house internships are one thing, but Pilz is also busy on-site: Pilz supports schools in the region via education partnerships. For example, it supports the Heinrich-Heine Grammar School in Ostfildern with specialist knowledge and teaching aids for physics, natural sciences and technology classes, where teaching also involves robotics for example. As well as this cooperation, Pilz also offers additional information events and job interview training for school students. "Pilz would like to provide practical relevance and orientation when students are deciding which vocational path to pursue", says Klaus Schneider, Training Manager at Pilz, explaining their objective in this collaboration.
Targeted support for the next generation
In addition to its involvement with local schools, the automation company also supports Esslingen University of Applied Sciences. As a member of the "Society of Friends of Esslingen University of Applied Sciences", Pilz offers various entry possibilities for students and graduates: including internships, work placements or degree theses – employing participants at a later date is always in Pilz's interests.

Rockies sign Speier, Gobble and Turnbow decision coming soon
It's past lunch. That means it's past time to feed the beast that is my blog.
As expected, the Rockies continue adding pitching depth on minor-league deals, signing reliever Justin Speier, a one-time Rockie, and reliever/starter Jimmy Gobble.
The 36-year-old Speier, who pitched for the Rockies from 2001-2003, went 4-2 with a 5.18 ERA with the Angels last season before getting released. Gobble, 28, made a brief cameo with the White Sox a year ago, posting a 7.50 ERA in 12 games.
I also just talked to a source who expects Derrick Turnbow to make a decision soon, possibly within the next few hours. The Rockies had the best minor-league offer to Turnbow as of yesterday. The right-hander is also weighing a bid by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Finally, to answer a question that has come up a few times: Yes, Greg Smith is still with the Rockies. And yes, the voodoo doll of his likeness that somone was poking with needles last year appears to have finally vanished.
"I hope so. It can't get any worse," Smith told me the other day.
Smith was acquired in the Matt Holliday trade and expected to be the fifth starter. It didn't work out that way. He got sick in spring training, which left him behind. Then he got sick again, which eliminated any chance of breaking camp. Then he got hurt, his shoulder aching. He finished the season dealing with back spasms. It was a lost season.
"I feeling much better. I am looking forward to a fresh start," Smith said.
He's been throwing bullpens at Coors Field pain-free, so it will be interesting to finally get an extended look at him. He could be a sleeper to provide pitching depth in case of injury or poor performance.

This is a place for my genealogy. At this time I am researching Isaac John Wardle History. He was a Mormon handcart pioneer.
Thursday, September 9, 2010
motivation for this blog
2 comments:
I would be most interested in any stories you could relay about Isaac's 2nd wife, Mary Ashton. She must have been all of 5 yrs old when she arrived with her sister from the Martin Handcart Co. into SLC. I've read the stories about her family's travails while making the trek but know very little about what happened to her after arriving in SLC. I've heard she and her sister were passed around to several families while growing up and that sometimes her treatment might not have been great. If my numbers are right, she married Isaac when she was 16-17, and he would have been around 32. I know she died giving birth to my Great Grandfather, William. Sounds like a pretty sad life. I would really enjoy anything you could share with me.
When I get the Isaac Wardle history done I plan on writing an Ashton history. John Jaques documents the deaths along the trail, except for Betsy. Elizabeth passed away July 2 while the boat was in Boston Harbor. She passed away at 9 and the family had to be the train at 11:30. Sarah Anne, died at Cutler's Park, 1 day past Florence, in child birth. The baby lived almost two weeks and was buried on the plains, next to the gravesite of the teamsters driving for A.W, Babbit. Betsy's death is not recorded. I know the story passed down to me is that she died some place between the last crossing of the Platte and Martins Cove. She froze her feet during the last crossing.ReplyDelete
As you probably know William Ashton left the company at Fort Laramie to join the infantry. I always wondered if he marched on Salt Lake. However his company was called up as reserves for Albert Johnston's troops, and marched to Ft. Bridger. However when things ended peacefully they went from there to California. He served out his 5 year commitment and then apparently went back to England.

Tea Party "Working The Refs" in IRS Scandal
Tea Party "Working The Refs" in IRS Scandal
by Bill Berkowitz
May 21, 2013
Diogenes was a fifth century BC Greek philosopher, and a rather controversial one at that. Also known as Diogenes the Cynic, it is said that he took a vow of poverty and often lived in a barrel. He was a social critic long before social critics became cool. Everything we know about Diogenes is through anecdote since none of his writings have survived the centuries. He is probably best known for a stunt: carrying a lamp during the day and claiming to be searching for an honest man. Which brings me, some 2400 years later, to strapping on a headlamp and searching for an honest rendering of the IRS "Scandal" that has been monopolizing the news over the past ten days or so.
With horse racing's Triple Crown no longer up for grabs -- Oxbow defeated Kentucky Derby winner Orb and seven other horses in the Preakness Stakes -- the mainstream media and conservative media and advocacy groups are in search of a whole different kind of Trifecta.
In the spirit of not letting facts get in the way of a good story, the mainstream and conservative media have glommed onto the IRS "Scandal," trying to link it with the Benghazi screw up (but no conspiracy), and the Justice Department's chilling efforts to spy on journalists, and are reveling in calling it Obama's Scandal Trifecta.
While the crux of the scandal is seen as the IRS being overzealous when looking into Tea Party and other conservative groups applying for 501(c)(4) status, the real scandal might be how ill-equipped the IRS has been to actually ferret out groups that are have been doing political work, not social welfare work as required by the IRS to receive 501(c)(4) status.
A new report by the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights (IREHR) titled "The Tea Party And The IRS 'Scandal': The Actual Facts Of The Case," approaches the IRS kerfuffle with an attempt to ferret out truth from fiction.
According to the IREHR report, "A May 14 draft report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that none of the 296 questionable applicants had been denied, 'For the 296 potential political cases we reviewed, as of December 17, 2012, 108 applications had been approved, 28 were withdrawn by the applicant, none had been denied, and 160 cases were open from 206 to 1,138 calendar days (some crossing two election cycles).'"
There was only one 501(c)(4) applicant that was refused tax-exempt status: the Maine chapter of Emerge America, which trains Democratic women to run for office. "Although the group did no electoral work, and didn't participate in independent expenditure campaign activity either, its partisan nature disqualified it from being categorized as working for the 'common good,'" the IREHR report stated.
What has gotten lost in the feeding frenzy surround the IRS is the actual partisan political involvement of many of the Tea Party groups applying for 501(c)(4) status.
Take the First Coast Tea Party of Jacksonville, Florida. It applied for 501(c)(4) status in 2009 and received it in 2011. According to the IREHR report, First Coast was involved with the Romney/Ryan campaign for the presidency: "Commenting about the recent IRS controversy on Facebook, the group declared 'We file a tax return, account for every penny. We do not endorse candidates that is a no no.'" However, "In an August 30, 2012 Facebook post, ... the group advertised a Jacksonville rally for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, adding, 'bring your chairs and your signs, make sure they know that the First Coast Tea Party is and has been helping their campaign.'"
Sensing a campaign running aground in Florida, First Coast declared a "state of emergency" on Facebook and issued the following plea: "FLORIDA FRIENDS, IF YOU LIVE IN ANY OF THESE 3 COUNTIES GET OFF THE COUCH NOW, GET YOUR FRIENDS OFF THE COUCH. GET TO THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS AND OFFER AND THEN DO SOME WORK. PHONES, (YOU CAN EVEN DO THESE CALLS FROM HOME) AND WALK AND KNOCK. NOW. WE CANNOT LOSE FLORIDA TO OBAMA. NOW. THIS IS MOST CRITICAL." [Emphasis in Original]
The Louisville, Kentucky Tea Party was granted 501(c)(4) status in 2009. "Nevertheless, it published a list of 'officially tea party endorsed candidates for the 2011 Kentucky primary.' They also published an article 'The Rationale for Romney-Ryan,' arguing for Tea Partiers to vote for the Republican candidate."
The Central Valley Tea Party Inc., a regional California Tea Party group "was granted the much more politically limiting IRS 501(c)(3) tax status back in 2009," according to the IREHR report. "Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. The prohibition applies to all campaigns including campaigns at the federal, state and local level. Violation of this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes."
The Central Valley Tea Party has a well-documented history of partisan political involvement from publishing articles in its newsletter in support of the Romney/Ryan ticket, and a so-called non-partisan "Voter Guide," to encouraging supporters to actively volunteer for Republican Party candidates.
Via email, I asked Devin Burghart, the vice president of IREHR and the author of "The Tea Party and the IRS 'Scandal,'" a few questions:
Bill Berkowitz: Were Tea Party and other conservative groups subjected to undue burdens?
Devin Burghart: Anyone who's ever gone through the process knows that the path to IRS non-profit status can be lengthy and burdensome. Given that the Inspector General's investigation, which found more than two-thirds of the groups involved in significant political intervention (which is normally disqualifying), additional scrutiny seems well warranted. More importantly, despite evidence of some pretty egregious violations, not a single group has actually been denied status.
BB: What was the IRS supposed to be doing and why did it come up short; or did it come up short?
DB: The IRS was supposed to be certifying that "social welfare" groups given non-profit status legitimately met all the criteria and weren't engaged in significant political intervention. An under-staffed office, overwhelmed with more than double previous high levels of applications, granted status to a number of groups that appear to have deserved further scrutiny. It also created a sloppy and insufficient protocol for flagging groups for additional scrutiny. As we noted in the report, rather than the so-called scandal cooked up by Tea Party groups, the real criticism of the IRS may be that it has let so many of these groups get away with what are apparently egregious violations.
BB: How do you see Tea Party groups and other conservative groups capitalizing on it -- publicity, fundraising, and credibility?
DB: By playing to the Tea Party sense of victimhood, groups are hoping that this attack on the IRS will re-invigorate a movement worn by four years of perpetual campaigning. Already we're seeing local rallies against the IRS around the country scheduled. The scandal also helped them replenish their coffers, with every national Tea Party faction fundraising on the issue nonstop since it grabbed headlines.
Beyond the short-term political gain of whipping up another conspiracy, jump-start the Tea Party, and bash President Obama, there are two longer term goals: working the Refs, and defanging health care legislation. In sports, the strategy of complaining loudly about the officiating to referees, in the hopes of getting them to cut you a little slack later on, is known as "working the refs." The current clamor about the IRS scrutinizing Tea Party groups not only gave the Tea Party another opening to malign the administration, it gave them the opportunity to "work" the IRS into ignoring current and future violations by Tea Party groups with non-profit status actively participating in prohibited electoral activity.
Moreover, Tea Party groups see the attack on the IRS as a last ditch effort to gut implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The law mandates that the IRS administer the tax collection and subsidy provision under the law. It will require the IRS to hire new employees. Tea Partiers are invoking the specter of an out of control IRS to once again try and slam on the brakes.
As Burghart pointed out in the report, overt political engagement by Tea Party operatives is pretty much standard operating procedure.
"Rather than the so-called scandal cooked up by Tea Party groups, the real criticism of the IRS may be that it has let so many of these groups get away with what are apparently egregious violations.
"After the firing of several high level IRS employees over this incident, how likely is it that Tea Party groups will be prevented these sorts of violations in the future?"

Two Harbors Breakwater Ice
The morning after one of the most powerful storms of the year, the warm light of the breaking dawn floodes the Two Harbors Breakwater to reveal a most magnificent sight.
Duluth Lighthouses
There are five lighthouse in the Duluth Superior Harbor, ranging in agre from 155 years to 95 years old.
Michigan Island Lighthouse
The old cast iron tower from Schooner Ledge, which had been shipped to the Eleventh District and stored since 1919, was shipped to Michigan Island along with the work crew required to bring the station to completion. Work began with the pouring of a concrete foundation for the tower, and the construction of a brick building to house the diesel engines and generators, which would power the light, radiobeacon and station quarters. The cast iron tower was erected on the prepared foundation, and the Third-and-a-half Order Fresnel was disassembled, removed from the old tower, and carefully relocated to its new home in the lantern atop the new tower. Equipped with a 24,000 candlepower electric light, the combination of the significantly increased intensity and the 170-foot focal plane afforded by the tower's location atop the cliff. Increased the light's range of visibility to a remarkable 22 miles.
Au Sable Lighthouse
The Au Sable Point Lighthouse was built in 1874. An eighty-seven-foot brick tower was built on a rise, placing the light about 150 feet above Lake Superior's surface. The Third-Order Fresnel Lens displayed a fixed white light. The attached, two-story brick keeper's dwelling was large, but those who lived in it knew theirs was one of the most remote mainland light stations in America. The nearest town, Grand Marais, was more than 12 miles away, and there was no road. Keepers either hiked in or came by boat.
Presque Isle Lighthouse
Eagle Harbor Lighthouse
The Eagle Harbor Lighthouse has stood watch over Lake Superior since 1850. Located at the northern tip of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, Eagle Harbor Lighthouse is one of the most picturesque lights on the Lake. On this quiet May morning, the loons were playing in front of the light, while I floated in my kayak on the crystal clear waters of the mighty lake.
Keewinaw Waterway Portage River Lightouse
The East pier head of the lower entrance to the Portage Ship Canal was built in 1920
Copper harbor Lighthouse
The shipwreck of the John Jacob Astor in 1844 and rapidly expanding Lake Superior shipping traffic influenced lead to the construction of the Copper Harbor Lighthouse in 1847. For $4,800, Charles Rude built the original 65-foot-tall split stone, whitewashed tower on Hays Point between 1848-1849 about 100 feet in front of the present lighthouse in the vicinity of the steel tower.
The red brick Eagle Harbor Light Station sits on the rocky entrance to the harbor and is a working lighthouse as it guides mariners across the northern edge of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The original lighthouse, built in 1851, was replaced in 1871. The octagonal brick light tower is ten feet in diameter, with walls 12 inches thick and it supports a 10-sided cast iron lantern. The Lighthouse was manned by a head keeper and two assistant keepers.
Eagle River Lighthouse
Situated on the edge of a sand bluff on the west bank of the Eagle river, has a focal plane of 61 feet.
Big Bay Point Lighthouse
The Big Bay Point Lighthouse stands on a rocky point halfway between Marquette and the Keweenaw Portage Entry.
Whitefish Point Lighthouse
First lit in 1849, the Whitefish Point Light shares honors with that at Copper Harbor for being the first lights on Lake Superior. It stands guard over the entrance to Whitefish Bay, sometimes the only shelter to be found for a ship trying to escape the fury of the lake. Whitefish Point is known as the Graveyard of Ships as more vessels have been lost here than in any other part of the lake. Hundreds of vessels, including the famed Edmund Fitzgerald, lie on the bottom of the bay and the approaches. The lighthouse marks the end of an 80 mile stretch of shoreline known as Lake Superior's Shipwreck Coast. This light has shined onto the big lake unfailingly for almost 150 years except for the night when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down. (info from exploringthenorth.com web site)
