03-08-2011, 01:49 PMOnly reason I was thinking an Amendment was due to US vs Ark case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...._Wong_Kim_Ark which states
In a 62 decision, the Supreme Court held that Wong Kim Ark had indeed acquired U.S. citizenship at birth and that "the American citizenship which Wong Kim Ark acquired by birth within the United States has not been lost or taken away by anything happening since his birth."
I believe if Obama loses Pennsylvania, the election is over. In my opinion, it is the same indicator level of a Republican defeat if you think the Democrat will take Virginia. It is too far into the meat of the party's support.
As far as the others:
Virginia (13) went for Bush twice and now has a Republican governor. Expect it to go back to the GOP.
But if the Republican candidate is fighting in Virginia close to the election, I think you can see where they have serious problems with the Electoral math.
Ohio (20) Went for Obama, but only by 2.5%, and the recession has hit it harder than most. There's a reason that they call it a swing state.
Nevada (5) Obama publicly dissed Vegas, which cost several million in lost revenues. Also, Vegas has lost population and has the highest foreclosure rate in the country.
New Mexico (5) always a very close race, but if there's a sweep, NM will go with it.
Iowa (7) 2008 was an aberation. Iowa is a red state, and will be again.
New Jersey (15) Christie is making people think twice about their reflexive Democratic voting patterns, and Obama is giving them further pause. Jersey's private sector has taken a huge hit during the recession, and the state is in play.
New Jersey is the Democratic Georgia; if that is lost, we are talking Reagan landslide numbers.
Florida (27) Obama won with a 1.8% margin, and that was before he cut Medicare and froze S
ocial Security Cost of Living adjustments. There's not a lot of love for him at the early bird buffet.
BTW, I didn't know he froze the COLA on Social Security. I thought that was an automatic thing having to do with inflation and he tried to make up for it with the $250 checks in the lame duck tax bill. I may be confusing it with something else, though.
Illegal aliens do not have diplomatic immunity. They are subject to the juristiction of the United States.
As far as Congress passing unconstitutional laws, they have before, they will again. This would be one of them. You could not get it passed Scalia, let alone Kennedy.

03-08-2011, 03:27 PMYou are correct. I am on SS and the reason we did not get a COLA was because of the law that ties it in with inflation. The $250 was a gift to appease seniors. If inflation rears its ugly head this year, we will get an adjustment next year.
I don't think that Obama has a prayer winning states that are heavily populated with seniors such as Florida. Old farts do not want anything to do with Obamacare which if implemented will cut medicare by 500 billion dollars.
Yes, but those changing demographics didn't keep the state from going Republican in the 2009 gubernatorial race. Obama is deeply unpopular in the state, and even in the northern liberal parts, he is unlikely to see the kind of turnout that he got in 2008. The thrill is gone, even in Chris Matthews' leg.
I think that you're wrong about the labor dispute. Public employee unions have lost a tremendous amount of moral capital in the last few years. The refusal to give any concessions when the people who pay their salaries are hurting has severely impacted how they are seen. Christie's swipe at teachers' unions played in his favor in Jersey, which is far bluer than Ohio. I do agree that if Obama loses Ohio, he loses Missouri and Indiana, but I think that he would have lost Indiana anyway. It's one of the few states not running a deficit, and Daniels is wildly popular there. If he isn't the nominee, he'll still campaign for whoever is.
Angle ran an awful campaign and Obama has shot himself in the foot with his attacks on Vegas. Given the sheer magnitude of the economic hits that Nevada has taken, it's unlikely that Obama will take it, but it will require an aggressive campaign by the Republicans. Also, the only real labor stronghold in Nevada is Vegas, and the loss of population there puts the state in play.
The easiest way to avoid pissing off Hispanics is to not call them Hispanics. The Latinos who can vote, i.e., the legal immigrants and their children, oppose illegal immigration as well as everyone else, and Obama hasn't done anything for Latinos beyond the appointment of Sotomayor to the SOTUS, and that kind of tokenism doesn't generally play well. It will be close, but NM always is.
Iowa is a swing state, but I believe that Obama is vulnerable there.
Especially since Reagan won New Jersey. Twice. But I agree.
BTW, I didn't know he froze the COLA on Social Security. I thought that was an automatic thing having to do with inflation and he tried to make up for it with the $250 checks in the lame duck tax bill. I may be confusing it with something else, though.[/QUOTE]
I stand corrected. OTOH, he did cut $500 billion out of Medicare, and this year, Social Security posted its first deficit. Seniors are not happy with Obama, and the death panels scare the crap out of them.
It goes beyond diplomats. You have to go back to the original framers of the 14th Amendment to get the full meaning of the phrase. Under Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes, the same Congress that adopted the Fourteenth Amendment stated: All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States. This didn't simply mean children of diplomats were excluded, but that only children born to parents who owed no foreign allegiance were to be citizens of the United States. Children born to subjects of a foreign power, and who maintain allegiance to that foreign power, are not subject to birthright citizenship. Who are the subjects of a foreign power? No less a Constitutional authority than Thomas Jefferson said Aliens are the subjects of a foreign power. Thus, the statute can be read as All persons born in the United States who are not aliens, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States. Furthermore, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee at the time, James F. Wilson of Iowa, stated on March 1, 1866: We must depend on the general law relating to subjects and citizens recognized by all nations for a definition, and that must lead us to the conclusion that every person born in the United States is a natural-born citizen of such States, except that of children born on our soil to temporary sojourners or representatives of foreign Governments. In addition, the person who drafted the 14th Amendment's first section, John Bingham, stated that the intent of the amendment was that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. Sen. Trumbull even explicitly stated that "(t)he provision is, that all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens. That means subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof. What do we mean by complete jurisdiction thereof? Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means."
Sen. Trumbull further stated, "Can you sue a Navajo Indian in court? Are they in any sense subject to the complete jurisdiction of the United States? By no means. We make treaties with them, and therefore they are not subject to our jurisdiction. If they were, we wouldn't make treaties with them...It is only those persons who come completely within our jurisdiction, who are subject to our laws, that we think of making citizens; and there can be no objection to the proposition that such persons should be citizens.
Sorry, but the debate on the genesis of the 14th Amendment is a matter of public record, and it means what it was intended to mean.--Odysseus

03-08-2011, 08:31 PMIt's coming out that Walker has given the Dems some choices in his bill, but the Dems are still playing games. It's going to bite them in the ass and hard. Wisconsin will be hard pressed for Obama to get back in his camp
This is something that I don't think AD completely understands. Not all Mexicans and Central Americans want open borders, illegal immigrants can't vote, and legal immigrants support border control by a bigger margin than illegal immigrants. When 1070 passed it was scoring 70% approval and latinos are 30% of the population. Of the 30% who opposed 1070, a lot of them were white from the Tuscon/UofA liberal cesspool and Grijalva & Gifford's districts. It's readily apparent that a smaller, but not-insignificant portion of the latino population supports strict border control as well. Remember some of these latinos left Mexico for good reasons, and they don't want those reasons following them to America.
Opposing 1070 and favoring open borders does not earn Democrats 100% of the voting latino population. I'm guessing it earns them 50%. Supporting abortion alienates the Catholic latino population, as does higher taxes and regulations on small business. I know many leftists like to believe nearly all immigrants are migrant workers and day laborers, and therefore ripe for the leftist indoctrination. However, you'd be surprised how many legally immigrated latinos operate a Carniceria, restaurant, barber shop, subcontracting crew and many other small business.
If I were to go to Europe, say Germany, and there get into a bar fight with a Mexican Citizen and injure him or kill him, then I were to vacation in Mexico and get picked up by law enforcement, I would be tried for the crime I committed in Germany., Mexican law recognizes jurisdiction differently than most laws, and extends jurisdiction to wherever a Mexican citizen happens to be. I'm not a Mexican lawyer, but this is how I understand it.
I wonder if the "subject to any foreign power" argument could be applied to this. After all, if the parents are illegally in the U.S., and a crime is committed against them, Mexico will prosecute if they can get a hold of the offenders. That seems to me that the parents are therefore the subject of a foreign power, so a birthright citizenship should be denied to the baby, even if born on U.S. soil."In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived."
Thomas Paine, Common Sense
Just a couple of points:
1: Toomey scared Specturd so bad he switched parties.
2: Nearly the entire state went to the GOP this cycle. All but a handful of house seats - the state house and state senate - the Governors Mansion - nearly everything went to the GOP this time round.
3: PA is not as blue as some people would have to believe.
4: Toomey is a staunch conservative unlike his predecessor. Casey won by running as a conservative democrat beating out Santorum who made the mistake of taking for granted the people of PA and for trying to get his kids basically privately educated on the peoples dime rather than shelling out for their education himself - AND because he was seen to be way too chummy with lobbyists.
5: Pittsburgh is spelled with an H. :mad:Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.
I wouldn't be. Latino immigration pretty much follows the pattern of Italian immigration during the last century, just as Asian immigration follows the Jewish pattern. The Italians were mostly small business owners, with a great deal of emphasis on skilled labor, so they went into things like auto repair, construction and the like, but there were a lot who went into retail, especially in groceries, since they had a very close-knit community that missed foods from the old country.
The current law, which was part of Johnson's Great Society scam, was designed to promote immigration through the creation of the anchor baby status and the subsequent legalization of the parents. Eliminate that, and we eliminate a host of second and third order effects.
Agreed, although I think that Specter was also motivated by a desire to be in the majority, and he was nothing if not a craven opportunist. He ended up getting screwed, as the Democrats gave him nothing for making the switch, and turncoats generally only benefit from their moves when they are following popular sentiment among their constituents (Richard Shelby and Strom Thurmond being the best examples). I hope that specter's enjoying the private sector... :D
Generally, PA Democrats seem to be further to the right than the national party, and both Casey and his dad came across as conservative Democrats (Casey sr. was more pro-life than many Republicans).
I stand corrected. :o--Odysseus

Brenton is a flaming MU fan, which partially explains the title of his blog and fully explains why it's taken me so long to link this post. Also, I don't fully agree with his take on poetry. He needs to branch out and discover that, among other things, Frost is a Man. However, he's got a knack for talking about great lit. He combines a reviewer's eye and laugh out loud commentary--and in mere sentences.
All this to say, if you can forgive his twisted basketball loyalties, take a look at this poetry & lit post from Hey, Free Dummy. Good stuff.

By 1967, poverty warriors increase the sophistication of their tactics at the same time that a number of outspoken opponents rise to national prominence. Highlights the beginning of Legal Services and VISTA, two programs that combined individual action with the idea of volunteerism. Lawyers team up with migrant farm workers in California to fight for better education, health care and working conditions, and VISTA volunteers and local residents organize against strip mining in Appalachia. Both stories raise significant questions about activities the government funds in the name of fighting poverty.

"Money Received X Tax Rate = Tax Payable"
These are a political problem not a math problem. If you have a set tax rate and a politician wants more then the rate must go up. Of course people will notice that and take action so why change the current system!
Posted by: ez | Sep 18, 2011 10:51:38 AM
Actually this is similar to how math was written before algebraic notation was invented. As much as you hate alphabet soup formulas they are way better than the alternative. Also in the IRS's defense can you think of a better way to write this which has to be followed by people who are not good at math.

Given that there is a concept in mathematics called a "quadratic form", there's a pun here that not all readers might appreciate at first.

Concerning the complex quadratic vs. the simplicity of the formula "Money Received x Tax Rate = Tax Payable"
EZ above said:
"If you have a set tax rate and a politician wants more, then the rate must go up."
And EZ is insightfully and historically right.
In 1913 Congress didn't bother to limit the tax rate to 9% as someone suggested because they said they would be kicked out of office before that happened.
However the paperless super flat FreedomIncomeTax

The 5th and last post in my "Bun in the Oven" series. Read about the inspiration here.
This wouldn't be a proper "Bun in the Oven"
series without a good old-fashioned American sticky bun recipe.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've featured two sweet bun recipes, but both have been Norwegian-of-origin. I don't want you all to think I've lost my roots and sense of taste altogether, so consider this a way to redeem my Americaness. To bring back to home the flavors I grew up with. The brown sugar. The butter. The cinnamon. The pecans.
The Goo
What's there to say about sticky buns.....
Firstly, Norwegians have never heard of them. Presented with a fresh sticky bun hot-out-of-the-oven, my husband intuitively opened up the cutlery drawer and drew out a fork and knife. In my opinion, you eat a sticky bun with your hands and your hands only. That way, you can lick all your fingers afterwards and don't have to look goofy picking up the plate to give it a good rinse with your tongue.
Secondly, when presented with a plate of said hot-out-of-the-oven sticky buns, our Norwegian nephews grew skeptical. They took one look at the gooey, nutty, doughy mess and asked their mom for an apple. Not wanting to hurt their American aunt's feelings, the mother told the boys (in one way or another) that: no, they couldn't have an apple, they would eat a sticky bun and they would like it.
"Forbidden Fruit"
We have to talk some sense into our kids once in a while.
So what's different about my sticky bun recipe??? Well, first off, it's quick and easy and doesn't even require the use of a package of pre-made grocery store pastry rolls. These sticky buns are of the "no knead" variety, which I'm usually very much against, but since this comes from a reputable source, I risked the laziness and still got great results. Also, you can mix up the dough up to three days in advance, stick it in the fridge, and have quick, fresh buns first thing on one of the mornings. Of course, a Norwegian would never dream of eating sticky buns so early in the day (and especially not with their fingers!) but since this is an American recipe and I am, in fact, still an American, I say go ahead and skip the oatmeal and dive on into a sticky bun or two.
This raps up my "Bun in the Oven" series. After two weeks of bun eating, not only am I quite pleased with how things have turned out, I think my little bun is too.
"Bun From Above"
Catch up on my first four "Bun in the Oven" posts:
Rosinboller- Norwegian raisin buns
Buttermilk Biscuits- buns spiked with
jalapeños and cheddar

Sent into yeastspotting
*Recipe given yields 3- 8 bun batches. I divided the recipe in 3 for a single batch, but you could certainly make the full amount if you have lots of bellies to fill or like to keep something special in the freezer for another lazy morning. You'll need a 9" (23 cm) round pan for baking.
**6 3/4 –
7 3/4 (900 g -1 kilo) All-Purpose flour
Tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2
Tablespoons instant yeast
1 3/4
cups (440 ml) lukewarm water
4 large
1/2 cup
(170 g) honey
1/2 cup
(120 ml) melted butter (or vegetable oil)
3 Tablespoons
butter, melted
2/3 cup
(130 g) granulated sugar mixed with 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
tablespoons butter, melted
tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or corn syrup, light or dark
1/3 cup
(65 g) brown sugar
2/3 cup
(75 g) pecan halves or coarsely chopped pecans
**The flour/liquid
ratio is important in this recipe. If you measure flour by sprinkling it into
your measuring cup, then gently sweeping off the excess, use 7 3/4 cups. If
you measure flour by dipping your cup into the canister, then sweeping off
the excess, use 6 3/4 cups. Most accurate of all, and guaranteed to give you
the best results, if you measure flour by weight, use 33 ounces (935 g). 1) To make the
dough: Combine all of the dough ingredients, in the order written, in a very
large bowl. Stir to make a sticky dough. You can do this in a stand mixer and
then transfer to a larger bowl; or simply use a big bowl and spoon (or dough
whisk). Cover the bowl, and let the dough rise for 2 hours at cool room temperature. 2) Refrigerate the
dough for at least several hours, to chill it and make it easier to work
with. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before using. 3) To make sticky
buns: grease your hands with oil or butter and dip them into the dough in the
bucket. Pinch off/pull out 1/3 of the dough; this is about the size of a
large grapefruit, a scant 22 ounces (620 g). For best accuracy, weigh on a
scale. Place the remaining dough back in the refrigerator, to use another
time. Or wrap and store in the freezer. This dough recipe is enough to make
three 9" (23 cm) round pans of sticky buns. 4) Transfer the
dough to a floured work surface, and roll it into a rectangle approximately
15" x 10" (40 cm x 25 cm). 5) Brush a third
of the melted butter over the dough, sprinkle over the cinnamon and sugar mixture, leaving a narrow margin around the edges uncovered. 6) Starting with a
long edge, gently roll the dough into a log. Don't roll it too tightly; if
you do, the centers of the buns will pop up as they bake. Then cut the log
into 8 pieces. 7) Prepare the
topping by spreading the melted butter and syrup (or honey) in your lightly
greased 9" (23 cm) round
cake pan. Sprinkle the sugar atop the butter, then scatter the nuts atop the
sugar. 8) Space the buns
in the pan. Lightly press each down till they're touching one another. 9) Cover the pan,
and allow the buns to rise till they're quite puffy, about 1 hour. Towards
the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350F/175C. 10) Uncover the
pan, and bake the buns for 40 to 45 minutes, till they're a deep golden
brown. 11) After removing
the pan from the oven, turn it over onto a piece of parchment, or onto a
cooling rack set over a piece of parchment or waxed paper (to catch any
drips). Lift off the pan, and scrape any nuts or sugar in the pan onto the
buns. 12) Serve
immediately, or let the buns cool a bit. Wrap any leftovers securely, and
store at room temperature.

Hot Burrito No. 2
Like many of us, Chris Hillman was introduced to music by his older sister. Unlike most of us, his songs have been recorded by Beck, Emmylou Harris and Tom Petty. He's had songs on the pop charts and country charts and is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as a recipient of awards from the Academy of Country Music. He began by playing in California folk and country bands. Finding himself in the Byrds, he would stick around and hold things together as personalities clashed, lineups faltered and friends succumbed to lifestyle excesses. This pattern would repeat in the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons, and his steadiness endured. This trait allowed him to be a reliable and determined member in projects both famous and not-so-famous over the years, eventually returning him to roots in the Desert Rose Band. So, Chris Hillman is maybe the type of person a lot of us would like to be: a diverse writer and performer of many hits and part of many important cultural movements who can still walk down the street unnoticed. See him 9 p.m. Friday at the Sons of Hermann Hall, 3414 Elm St. Tickets are $20 to $25. Visit frontgatetickets.com.

Anne Sullivan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne Sullivan | |
Sullivan circa 1887
Born | Johanna Mansfield Sullivan April 14, 1866 Feeding Hills, Agawam, Massachusetts |
Died | October 20, 1936 Forest Hills, New York |
(aged 70)
Spouse(s) | John Albert Macy (1905–1932) |
Johanna Mansfield Sullivan Macy (April 14, 1866 – October 20, 1936), better known as Anne Sullivan, was an American teacher, best known for being the instructor and lifelong companion of Helen Keller.[1] At the age of five, she contracted trachoma, a highly contagious eye disease, which left her blind and without reading or writing skills.[2] She received her education as a student of the Perkins School for the Blind where upon graduation she became a teacher to Keller when she was 20.[2]
Sullivan was born on April 14, 1866, in Feeding Hills, Agawam, Massachusetts. According to her baptismal certificate, her name at birth was Johanna Mansfield Sullivan; however, she was called Anne or Annie from birth.[3] She was the oldest child of Thomas and Alice (Cloesy) Sullivan. Her parents were illiterate, unskilled, and impoverished immigrants who came to the United States from County Limerick, Ireland, during the Great Famine.[4] When she was only five years old she contracted a bacterial eye disease known as trachoma, which created painful infections and over time made her nearly blind.[2] When she was eight, her mother died and her father abandoned the children two years later for fear he could not raise them on his own.[2] She and her younger brother, James ("Jimmie"), were sent to an overcrowded almshouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts (today part of Tewksbury Hospital). Jimmie suffered from a weak hip ailment and died two to three months into their stay. Sullivan remained at the Tewksbury house for four years after his death, where she had eye operations that offered some short-term relief for her eye pain but ultimately proved ineffective.[3]
Sullivan lost her sight at a young age and therefore had no skills in reading, writing, or sewing and the only work she could find was as a housemaid; however, this position was unsuccessful.[2] Another blind resident staying at the Tewksbury almshouse told her of schools for the blind. During an 1880 inspection of the almshouse, she convinced inspector Franklin Benjamin Sanborn to allow her to leave and enroll in the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston,[5] where she began her studies on October 7, 1880.[2] Although her rough manners made her first years at Perkins humiliating for her, she managed to connect with a few teachers and made progress with her learning.[2] While there, she befriended and learned the manual alphabet from Laura Bridgman, a graduate of Perkins and the first blind and deaf person to be educated there. Also while there, she had a series of eye operations that significantly improved her vision.[3] In June 1886, she graduated at age 20 as the valedictorian of her class. She stated, "Fellow-graduates: duty bids us go forth into active life. Let us go cheerfully, hopefully, and earnestly, and set ourselves to find our especial part. When we have found it, willingly and faithfully perform it."[2]

The summer following Sullivan's graduation, the director of the Perkins Institution, Michael Anagnos, was contacted by Arthur Keller, who was in search of a teacher for his 7-year-old blind and deaf daughter, Helen.[2] Anagnos immediately recommended Sullivan for this position and she began her work on March 3, 1887 at the Kellers' home in Tuscumbia, Alabama.[2] As soon as she arrived there, she argued with Helen's parents about the Civil War and over the fact that they used to own slaves.[6] However she also quickly connected with Helen. It was the beginning of a 49-year relationship: Sullivan evolved from teacher to governess and finally to companion and friend.[7]
Sullivan's curriculum involved a strict schedule with constant introduction of new vocabulary words; however, Sullivan quickly changed her teachings after seeing they did not suit Keller.[2] Instead, she began to teach her vocabulary based on her own interests, where she spelled each word out into Keller's palm; within six months this method proved to be working when Keller had learned 575 words, some multiplication tables, as well as the Braille system.[2] Sullivan strongly encouraged Helen's parents to send her to the Perkins School where she could have an appropriate education. When they agreed, Sullivan took Keller to Boston in 1888 and stayed with her there. Sullivan continued to teach her bright protégée, who soon became famous for her remarkable progress. With the help of Anagnos, Keller became a public symbol for the school, helping to increase its funding and donations and making it the most famous and sought-after school for the blind in the country. However, an accusation of plagiarism against Keller greatly upset Sullivan: she left and never returned, but did remain influential to the school.[2] Sullivan remained a close companion to Keller and continued to assist in her education, which ultimately included a degree from Radcliffe College.
Personal life[edit]
On May 3, 1905, Sullivan married Harvard University instructor and literary critic, John Albert Macy (1877–1932), who had helped Keller with her publications.[8] He moved in with them, and they lived together. However, within a few years, the marriage began to disintegrate. By 1914 they separated, though he is listed as living as a "lodger" with them in the 1920 U.S. Census.[9] They never officially divorced. As the years progressed after their separation, he appears to have faded from her life. She never remarried.
In 1932 Keller and Sullivan were each awarded honorary fellowships from the Educational Institute of Scotland. They also were awarded honorary degrees from Temple University.[10] In 1955 Sullivan was awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University,[8] and in 1956 the director's cottage at the Perkins School was named the Keller-Macy Cottage.[2]
Sullivan had been seriously visually impaired for almost all of her life, but by 1935 she was completely blind in both eyes. On October 15, 1936, she suffered a coronary thrombosis, fell into a coma, and died five days later on October 20[11] at age 70, in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. She died with Keller holding her hand.[12] Keller described Sullivan's last month as being very agitated, but during the last week was said to return to her normal generous self.[13] Sullivan was cremated and her ashes were interred in a memorial at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. She was the first woman to be recognized for her achievements in this way. When Keller died in 1968, her ashes were placed in the Washington National Cathedral next to those of Sullivan.
Media representation[edit]
Sullivan is the main character in The Miracle Worker, by William Gibson, originally produced for television, where she was portrayed by Teresa Wright.[14] It then moved to Broadway, and was later produced as a 1962 feature film. Both the play and film featured Anne Bancroft as Sullivan.[15] Patty Duke, who played Keller on Broadway and in the 1962 film version, later played Sullivan in a 1979 television remake.[16] Alison Elliott portrayed her in a 2000 television movie.[17] Alison Pill played her on Broadway in the short-lived 2010 revival, with Abigail Breslin as Keller.
Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke won Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, for their roles as Sullivan and Keller in the 1962 film version.

Flames News
Flames Home > Women's Basketball Home > NewsWarley Competing in Phoenix Mercury Training Camp
Phoenix Mercury Official Website
After completing her collegiate playing career at Liberty, Avery Warley is now attempting to earn a WNBA roster spot. Warley is currently participating in the Phoenix Mercury's preseason training camp.
One of 18 players battling for 11 roster spots, Warley is already opening eyes with her rebounding ability. The Washington, D.C. native grabbed 18 boards in 27 minutes during a recent team scrimmage.
Warley will get her first chance to play against another team tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern, when the Mercury play an exhibition game against the Japanese Women's National Team at the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Ariz.
Warley is competing against a couple familiar faces in the post in Phoenix, in Christine Flores and Krystal Thomas. Flores, a Missouri graduate, was Warley's teammate during the 2011 Pan American Games. Thomas is the older sister of Liberty volleyball standout Loren Thomas.
Warley is attempting to become the third Liberty graduate to play in the WNBA. Katie (Feenstra) Mattera played in the league for five seasons (2005-09), and Megan Frazee spent two years (2009-10) with the San Antonio Silver Stars.
The Mercury plan to announce their final 11-player roster on May 17, three days before they open the 2012 regular season at Minnesota in a rematch of the 2011 WNBA Western Conference Finals.
Warley finished her four years with the Lady Flames as the leading rebounder in program and Big South Conference history, with 1,282 boards. She also finished No. 1 in Liberty history for games played (132), No. 3 for both blocked shots (166) and double-doubles (47) and No. 5 for points (1,453).
Warley was a three-time first team All-Big South selection and was named MVP of the 2012 Big South Championship. She helped the Lady Flames capture the Big South Championship title and advance to the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship three times (2009, 2010 and 2012).

Thermo Scientific Anti-Chicken secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for the chicken immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.

Comment Even if you believe these numbers: (Score 1) 412
Even if these numbers are completely accurate, and you assume that 200 out of the 300 million people in the US are cell phone buyers, this still means 300,000 iPhones would be sold in the US. Given that Steve Jobs said his companies goal was to have 1 million iPhones out in the wild, globally, by the end of 2008, this number is extremely reasonable. Remember, prices will drop, additional incentives will be created, etc.
Also, keep in mind that once people see the iPhones in action, when the Jones' next door have one, etc., this no longer becomes a completely rational purchase. The iPhone won't work for me, so I doubt I'll ever buy one, but I still fully expect this to be a hit.

Ashton calls on Conservatives to launch a national inquiry
"The loss of these three young Aboriginal women is devastating. Tragically, they are part of a pattern in Canada - where Aboriginal women are more often the targets of violence and death," said Ashton. "This is an issue that the federal Government must take action on rather than cutting funding to groups that are trying to make a difference."
Despite calls from community leaders, aboriginal groups and opposition parties, the Government has done little to address the disproportionate level of violence faced by aboriginal women. The Conservatives have cut funding to Sisters in Spirit, a task force that compiles and maintains a database of missing and murdered Aboriginal women across Canada.
"The Government needs to launch a national inquiry so that we can get to the root of these tragedies," said Ashton. "We have to address not only the violence itself but the systemic inequalities that lead to the vulnerability and targeting of aboriginal women."

Marsha, I love your style, very inspiring.. As a fellow tall girl (6'2") I was wondering what your thoughts are about wearing non tall labels (ie cut for average height people) - are there any good rules, because I hate to think I look like I'm too big to wear something cut for a shorter person, but I notice you wear some jackets/coats with shorter sleeves and you look awesome! x
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks so much for your comment! I have no issues at all in wearing non tall brands. I'm more of a girly girl, so I tend to go for skirts more often which happens to work well with non tall brands. Definitely one rule is to go one size up. In terms of arm lengths, there are always tricks to disguise this like using bracelet stacks or ruching up your sleeves which also not only disguises that your sleeves are too short but looks chic too! Whatever you wear, own it, be confident and tall, and no one will question it! x

It was time for a Google search to get some new ideas on thrifty decor. By thrifty decorating I mean taking trash to treasure, junk to gems, reuse, rcycle, upcycling old things. I love seeing everyone's ideas on new uses for old things. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't create something new. These people have proved that you can just by thinking outside the box. I appreciate all who share their ideas on the Internet to inspire the rest of us. All I did was a Google image search. You can too!
I tried to pick projects that were simple to complicated, one item to whole rooms, no money spent to some money spent, tacky to formal and sophisticated. So you choose what you like best and go for it!
I loved this kitchen stove hood... a galvanized trough!
These are old vent covers.
Using some pretty frames someone added costume jewelry to them to make them extra dazzling!
Anyone ever seen the old 1970's wooden consoles? Those big, chunky, dark, heavy pieces can be turned into modern, light pieces with a little paint!
I love what they did to these chairs!
Find some pour stoppers and add to some old soda pop bottles and you have soap, oil, vinegar, honey bottles!
Old mattress springs as wine storage.
Antiqued , painted, decoupaged antique chest of drawers.
Before you throwing away old lamps, think about painting them and adding a new lampshade. You can decorate lampshades with stamps, wallpaper, beaded fringe, fabric flowers, painted scenes, etc.
Buttons glued on bobby pins.
This old chair went glamorous with some black gloss paint and chic new upholstery.
Yes, this is a coffee can! I believe it's wrapped in a wallpaper border with ric rac glued on the lid. How cute is that!?!
Use some old bottles and add old buttons or vintage clip earrings to the corks on top. Then wrap with an old necklace. I also like how they used the bottles as picture frames by just rolling the photo up and plopping it inside the bottle.
Anybody recognize this cheap old lamp from the 1980's? Somebody had a great idea by painting it silver to look like mercury glass. Then added a new gray lampshade and brushed nickle finial on top.
Using coffee burlap sacks was ingenious for these kitchen chairs.
I really liked this storage idea. I think it's an old pickle jar? Anyway, if you are a baker, here is a way to store all those cookie cutters you may have.
I have had file cabinets professionally painted for a very reasonable price. But if you are good at it, do it yourself! The lateral file cabinet has even been put on a base to raise it off the floor. Then painted matte silver and gold. It really makes it look sophisticated. The other file cabinet was painted a sky blue with a wooden cutting board placed on top. Great place to keep those kitchen recipe files.
This piece had beautiful lines. It looks beautiful in all white.
Another one of those old console jobs that I bet was pretty ugly before someone started painting. Didn't they do a beautiful job? I have a neighbor who can paint things like this and she has done a beautiful job on some pieces.
I have an old antiqued brass lamp just like this one. I like the end result of painting it and adding a modern drum shade.
Another one of those heavy, clunky, 1970's china cabinets. I always thought they just looked downright medieval. But someone saw the pretty lines on this one and did a wonderful job refurbishing it. I love the wallpaper on the backboard, the new hardware and the paint job lightens it up and makes it the star of the room.
This is another 1970's piece that was sort of Spanish medieval. Painting it this pleasing pale yellow and aging it was a great idea. And pairing it with gray! Wow! Using the old frame to frame a map and painting the lamp base and adding the new shade made this pop!
What a great idea for a music room!
Turning this bookcase into a shabby chic cabinet to show off your treasures is a great idea. Notice they used different wallpapers for the back of each shelf.
Another one of the old pieces that has beautiful line to it but just needs modernizing. I love the two tone paint job and how the drawer handles were painted and put back on. Beautiful job.
Ever thought of using a picture frame as a tray? Good idea isn't it?
I got excited seeing this. I assume those are pennies on a burlap backing in an old antique frame that's been painted matte gold. How about a penny for each year of a person's life or for each year of a couple's marriage? Just keep adding a penny each year with the correct year on it.
Old spice jars used to corral beads for your beading hobby.
I thought I would share bits and pieces of my life. I am a lifelong Christian. I have been married for over 39 years to Stan. No children. We have 3 Italian Greyhounds named Persephone, Dresden and Capodimonte and a calico cat named Binky. We have 9 nieces/nephews and 7 grandnieces/nephews whom we love. My hobbies are genealogy, reading, digital scrapbooking, history, dogs, homemaking.

The mother of two of the five children who were in a car that veered off a highway ramp into a holding pond says she's angry about the accident.
Shaniece Thompson is the mother of 5-year-old Zenavia Rennie and 6-year-old Zarihana Rennie. The 5-year-old was among the two children who drowned in Thursday's crash in St. Louis Park, while the three others remain hospitalized.
Thompson told WCCO-TV (http://cbsloc.al/IdZ3zP ) she has many questions about the accident. She says she's angry that the driver, 23-year-old Marion Guerrido, of Brooklyn Center, was driving without a license and put so many children in the car.
Guerrido is dating Zarihana and Zenavia's father. Two of Guerrido's own children also remain in the hospital, but her 7-year-old boy, Alarious Coleman-Guerrido, also died in the accident.

But from a legal and practical standpoint, the process used to hire a new employee can be just as important as the employee who is ultimately hired. In order to minimize the legal exposure which may arise as a result of the hiring process, every school should look closely at the three main areas of the hiring process – job application, interview process, and criminal background checks – to ensure that it is following best practices.
The Job Application
It's not uncommon for employers, especially schools, to forgo the formal application in exchange for a resume or curriculum vitae. While a resume should certainly be required, it should be used in conjunction with, and not instead of, a comprehensive job application. The completion of a job application forces applicants to provide all the information that you deem relevant to the position being filled, rather than allowing applicants to cherry pick what information they want to highlight in the form of a resume.
A comprehensive job application is only worth the time you take to review it. Avoid becoming an employer who in the midst of litigation concludes "if I had only reviewed the application more carefully." Carefully reviewing the employment application will alert you to various red flags, including, significant gaps in employment history, the use of P.O. Boxes and 1-800 phone numbers as contact information, and victim-like responses to questions about why the employee left prior jobs.
Remember that questions left blank may be just as important as those answered. In addition, it's essential to include a statement in the job application that the information provided by the applicant is absolutely true, and that the applicant understands that disqualification for hire, or subsequent termination after hire, will be the result should information be found to be untrue or inaccurate.
Your job application should ask whether the individual has ever been terminated, asked to resign, or not offered a contract for the following year. Finally, ensure that applicants sign their applications, and if they refuse to do so, you should refuse to consider the application any further. If you have any areas of concern after carefully reviewing the job application, those concerns should be addressed during the interview process. The Interview Process
The interview allows both the employer and prospective employee to gather the information necessary to determine whether or not they are a good fit for each other. It is absolutely essential to ensure that every person engaged in the interviewing process is properly trained to do so.
A good interviewer will know how to digest the application and obtain essential information needed to make a hiring decision without soliciting unnecessary and potentially dangerous information from the applicant. The goal of the interview should not be to sell the applicant on the job, but instead to gather details about the applicant's employment history and qualifications. To accomplish that goal, interviewers should stick to the 80/20 rule – the applicant should be doing 80% of the talking during the interview.
Interviewers should ask applicants to respond to questions on the job application which were not answered, explain gaps in employment, describe education and training experiences as they relate to the position applied for, and solicit the exact reasons for leaving prior employment. Of course, there are questions you should avoid. Most employers know not to inquire about information related to categories protected by federal, state, and local discrimination laws, including questions about age, ancestry, racial or ethnic background, military status, plans for a family, religious beliefs, and health conditions.
But it's equally important to stay away from questions that, while not directly soliciting such information, could inadvertently lead to the discovery of that information. Examples include asking applicants when they graduated from high school because it could reveal information regarding age, or asking applicants where their accent comes from because it could reveal national origin or ancestry.
And be wary of asking questions regarding an applicant's social media account information. Obtaining access to an applicant's social media sites often leads to the discovery of knowledge related to many protected categories and may violate privacy rights.
The bottom line is that interviewers should stick to questions that will reveal whether or not the applicant is the right fit for the job and refrain from soliciting information that has no bearing on it.
Criminal Background Checks
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently adopted new guidelines regarding the solicitation of criminal background information and the completion of criminal background checks on prospective employees. According to the EEOC, a blanket policy against hiring anyone with a criminal background violates discrimination laws. To defend your criminal background check practice, you must be able to articulate the reasons why the information uncovered in a background check is job related and consistent with business necessity.
The EEOC recommends that employers completely avoid asking questions about criminal convictions on job applications. For some employers, schools in particular, that is neither possible nor prudent. But to limit the risk of liability, you should inquire only about convictions that are job related and consistent with business necessity. Make this inquiry on a document separate from the job application; review it only after an initial hiring decision has been made. When soliciting criminal background information, it is important to include language that states that a conviction will not necessarily preclude employment.
The EEOC also recommends that employers eliminate criminal background checks. Again, that is not usually practical for school employers. One approach to impact the least number of applicants, and therefore limit the risk of liability, is to make an offer of employment to the final candidate contingent on successful completion of a criminal background check.
Once you have obtained information relating to an applicant's criminal history, make an employment decision after you make an individualized assessment of the job and the results obtained. The factors to be considered include the nature and gravity of the offense, the facts surrounding the offense, the time that has passed since the offense, the nature of the job, rehabilitation efforts, character references, the length and consistency of the employment history before and after the offense, and evidence that the person performed the same type of work, post conviction, with a different employer with no criminal conduct.
To Sum It Up
An effective hiring process can result in quality employees who enhance the school's reputation. Following the practices outlined above will allow you to improve your hiring practices, minimize risk and maximize productivity just in time for the new school year.

Inserting files
Where are we?
You saw how the print
statement puts data into the HTML. Let's see how you can put entire files into the HTML.
This lesson's goals
By the end of this lesson, you should:
- Know how to use PHP to insert a file into the HTML output.
- Know how to use a file path to insert the same file in pages that are spread out across a directory tree.
Inserting files
PHP has several statements that insert files: include
, require
, and require_once
. We'll just talk about one of them: require
Suppose we create a file that contains HTML to show a footer for every page on a Web site. Here it is:

 Copyright © 2010 | All rights reserved

Figure 1. Footer code.
This is not a complete HTML page, just a fragment of HTML. It wouldn't work by itself. Let's call the file footer.inc
. The .inc
reminds us that the file is meant to be included in another file.
Here's the PHP page include-footer.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Including a footer</title>
Hi there!

I am a page. Aren't I wonderful?
 <?php require 'footer.inc'; ?>
Figure 2. Including a footer
The require
statement reads the file it's given, and inserts it. Any PHP in the included file is executed. If the PHP interpreter can't find the file, it shows an error message.
You can try it. Make sure you have a look at the HTML source. As far as the browser knows, the content of footer.inc
was typed directly into include-footer.php
Inserting files from other directories
The code in Figure 2 is in a file called include-footer.php
. It has the line:
require 'footer.inc';
There is no directory given, just a file name. So where will the PHP interpreter look for footer.inc
The answer: in the same directory as include-footer.php
. So if include-footer.php
is in /my/directory/of/doom/
, then the PHP interpreter will look for /my/directory/of/doom/footer.inc
When you're using dynamic Web templates for real, this won't work very well. Suppose you were creating a site with this structure:
Figure 3. Site structure.
The file at /index.php
is the home page of the site. The file at /articles/index.php
shows a list of articles. There are other things like blog entries, products, and so on, but we don't need to consider them here.
Suppose you put this line into both /index.php
and /articles/index.php
require 'footer.inc';
You would need one footer.inc
for /index.php
and another for /articles/index.php
Figure 4. Duplicate footer files.
But what's the point of that? If we wanted to change the footer text across the entire site, we'd have to change all of the footer.inc
What we really want is for both /index.php
and /articles/index.php
to refer to the same footer.inc
Figure 5. Just one footer file.
is in a directory called library
. PHP developers often move shared files to a directory like this, and call it library
, lib
, includes
, common
, or something like that.
But we have to change the require
statements to make this work. Here is the require statement from /index.php
require 'library/footer.inc';
Here is the one for /articles/index.php
require '../library/footer.inc';
The ..
means "go up a level."
To brush up on how to use paths to navigate between directories, see the discussion of absolute, relative, and root relative links.
An example
Let's see how this would work in an entire Web site.
Let's create a simple site called The Dog Site. It has a home page and two sections: dog profiles, and articles.
Figure 6. Site overview.
Each of the two sections of the site – dog profiles and articles – has a main page. Each one is linked from the home page.
Here is the home page:
Figure 7. Home page.
Here is the main page for the dog profile section:
Figure 8. Dog profile main page.
Here is the main page for the articles section:
Figure 9. Articles main page.
You can try the site.
Let's create the directory tree for the site, that is, the directories on the server that all the files will go into. We'll make a directory for each section of the site: dog profiles and articles.
The header is the same on every page, so let's pull that out and put it in its own file. Here's the code:

The Dog Site

Bringing you happiness since last week

Figure 10. HTML for the header.
Let's put the code into the file header.inc
, and put the file into a library directory.
Here is the directory tree so far.
Figure 11. Initial tree.
The home page is index.php
. Recall that if a browser sends a URL to a Web server, and the URL does not have a file name, then the browser uses a default name. In ClientCore, we used index.html
as the default. index.php
can be the default as well.
So if a browser asks for:
the server will run:
Let's see what the tree looks like when all the files are added:
Figure 12. Complete tree.
All of the PHP files are going to have a require
statement, to insert header.inc
. But since the PHP files are in different directories, they will use different paths to navigate to header.inc
. Here are the paths for some of the files.
File | Path in require |
/index.php | library/header.inc |
/articles/index.php | ../library/header.inc |
Figure 13. Paths in some of the files.
Exercise: The rest of the paths
Complete figure 13. Give the path in the require
statement for every PHP file.
You can check your solution by downloading a zip file of the site. Expand the zip file to see the PHP code.
(Log in to enter your solution to this exercise.)
Exercise: Inserting files
Download and expand this zip file. It will create a directory tree like this:
Figure 1. Directory tree
Open up wombat.php
. Add require
statements to create a page that looks like this:
Figure 2. Output
Use only relative file paths.
Upload the entire tree to your server. Put the URL below.
You can see my solution, but try it yourself first.
(Log in to enter your solution to this exercise.)
In this lesson, you learned:
- How to use PHP to insert a file into the HTML output, using the
- How to use a file path to insert the same file in pages that are spread out across a directory tree.
What now?
But there's a problem. It's easy to break links to images and other resources. Let's fix that in the next lesson.

USS Arizona (BB 39) was a Pennsylvania class battleship that was destroyed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and remains where she sank as a memorial to the people killed during the battle.
The Arizona was laid down in 1914, launched in 1915 and commissioned in 1916, making her one of the most modern battleships in the US Navy when American entered the First World War in 1917. Neither of the oil burning Pennsylvania class ships were part of the American battleship squadron sent to join the British Grand Fleet, and the Arizona only reached Europe after the war, when she served as part of the escort for President Wilson as he travelled to Paris. On her return trip the Arizona carried 238 American troops home from the war. The Arizona served as a flagship for most of the 1920s, and was the flagship of Battleship Division 1 from 1938.
Both Pennsylvania class ships underwent a major refit during the 1920s. Their maximum gun elevation was raised to 30 degrees, increasing their maximum range. Anti-torpedo bulges were installed underwater. An aircraft launching catapult was fitted. New boilers were installed, using machinery ordered for the USS Washington, a newer battleship scrapped under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. The secondary guns were removed from the hull and moved up one level into a deckhouse arrangement that contained eight 5in anti-aircraft guns and two 5in single purpose guns. The cage masts were removed and replaced with tripod masts.
On 7 December 1941 the Arizona was moored at position F-7 on battleship row, Pearl Harbor, with the fleet repair ship Vestal moored alongside. She was badly damaged early in the Japanese attack, suffering one torpedo hit and probably eight bomb hits. One of these bombs penetrated into the forward magazines, triggering a massive explosion that ripped the ship apart. The resulting fires burnt for two days, and oil fires floating on the current caused great problems for other ships on battleship row. A total of 1,177 of the 1,512 men onboard were killed, including Rear Admiral Kidd and the ship's captain Van Valkenburgh. Both men were awarded posthumous Medals of Honor, as was the highest ranking officer to survive the attack, Lt. Commander Samuel G. Fuqua.
The Arizona was so badly damaged that there was never any question of raising her. Instead the superstructure was cut down to water level, while the rear guns and turrets were removed for use as coastal defence guns. The Arizona became an official memorial to the dead of Pearl Harbor.

A note on Deaton's theorem on the undesirability of nonuniform excise taxation
The paper provides an extension and a new proof of Deaton's theorem on the undesirability of nonuniform excise taxation when income taxes are affine and preferences over consumption goods are separable from labour-leisure choices, homothetic, and identical across agents.
