Women won the vote in the United States through a constitutional amendment, finally ratified in 1920. But along the road to winning the vote nationally, states and localities granted suffrage to women within their jurisdictions. This list documents many of those milestones in winning the vote for American women.

Congress: Let Go of Partisan Politics and Support Ambassador Rice
Congress: Let Go of Partisan Politics and Support Ambassador Rice
Letters and Emails Sent So Far
In signing this petition I am joining the Black Womens Roundtable and the legion of strong women leaders and organizations across this nation that have come together to express our unequivocal support for United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice as a leader and representative of the United States in foreign policy.
Ambassador Rice has been and continues to be a role model to all women. She has excelled throughout her career both in the public and private sector. Her commitment to international peace and the equality of all people should be heralded, not summarily dismissed for political gain and expedience. Hence, we urge all U. S. Senators to afford Ambassador Rice the proper respect appropriate for any other Cabinet-level member of a sitting Administration.
Ambassador Rice represents a rich and important legacy of strong women leaders in foreign policy, such as former Secretaries of State Madeline Albright and Condoleezza Rice, and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ambassador Rices credentials are above reproach, having previously served as Special Assistant to President Bill Clinton and Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council at the White House.
We feel it necessary to remind the Senate of Ambassador Rices impeccable credentials because of the failure of some to respect her role as the United States Ambassador and leader in foreign policy. While some members of the Senate have pushed back on their rush to judgment in the press regarding Ambassador Rices prepared remarks on the attack in Benghazi, we feel that the public integrity and reputation of this brilliant woman, who serves our country with great dignity, has been unfairly and unnecessarily attacked.
Ambassador Rices leadership in President Obamas Cabinet is commendable. It is for this reason that we, the undersigned, have come together representing women leaders from across this country to express our ardent support for Ambassador Rice in her role as ambassador to the United Nations and any other public service leadership roles she may be afforded in the future.

When balancing redox reactions, the overall electronic charge must be balanced in addition to the usual molar ratios of the component reactants and products. This example problem illustrates how to use the half-reaction method to balance a redox reaction in a solution.
Balance the following redox reaction in an acidic solution:
Cu(s) + HNO3(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + NO(g)
Step 1: Identify what is being oxidized and what is being reduced.
To identify which atoms are being reduced or oxidized, assign oxidation states to each atom of the reaction.
For review:
Rules for Assigning Oxidation States
Assigning Oxidation States Example Problem
Oxidation and Reduction Reaction Example Problem
- Cu(s): Cu = 0
- Cu2+: Cu = +2
- NO(g): N = +2, O = -2
N went from oxidation state +5 to +2, gaining three electrons. Nitrogen is reduced by this reaction.
Step 2: Break the reaction into two half reactions: oxidation and reduction.
Oxidation: Cu → Cu2+
Reduction: HNO3 → NO
Step 3: Balance each half-reaction by both stoichiometry and electronic charge.
This is accomplished by adding substances to the reaction. The only rule is that the only substances you can add must already be in the solution. These include water (H2O), H+ ions (in acidic solutions), OH- ions (in basic solutions) and electrons.
Start with the oxidation half-reaction:
The half-reaction is already balanced atomically. To balance electronically, two electrons must be added to the product side.
Cu → Cu2+ + 2 e-
Now, balance the reduction reaction.
This reaction requires more work. The first step is to balance all atoms except oxygen and hydrogen.
There is only one nitrogen atom on both sides, so nitrogen is already balanced.
The second step is to balance the oxygen atoms. This is done by adding water to the side that needs more oxygen. In this case, the reactant side has three oxygens and the product side has only one oxygen. Add two water molecules to the product side.
The third step is to balance the hydrogen atoms. To This is accomplished by adding H+ ions to the side that needs more hydrogen. The reactant side has one hydrogen atom while the product side has four. Add 3 H+ ions to the reactant side.
The equation is balanced atomically, but not electrically. The final step is to balance the charge by adding electrons to the more positive side of the reaction. One the reactant side, the overall charge is +3, while the product side is neutral. To counteract the +3 charge, add three electrons to the reactant side.
HNO3 + 3 H+ + 3 e- → NO + 2 H2O
Now the reduction half-equation is balanced.
Step 4: Equalize the electron transfer.
In redox reactions, the number of electrons gained must equal the number of electrons lost. To accomplish this, each reaction is multiplied by whole numbers to contain the same number of electrons.
The oxidation half-reaction has two electrons while the reduction half-reaction has three electrons. The lowest common denominator between them is six electrons. Multiply the oxidation half-reaction by 3 and the reduction half-reaction by 2.
3 Cu → 3 Cu2+ + 6 e-
2 HNO3 + 6 H+ + 6 e- → 2 NO + 4 H2O
Step 5: Recombine the half-reactions
This is accomplished by adding the two reactions together. Once they are added, cancel out anything that appears on both side of the reaction.
3 Cu → 3 Cu2+ + 6 e-
+ 2 HNO3 + 6 H+ + 6 e- → 2 NO + 4 H2O
3 Cu + 2 HNO3 + 6H+ + 6 e- → 3 Cu2+ + 2 NO + 4 H2O + 6 e-
Both sides have six electrons that can be cancelled.
3 Cu + 2 HNO3 + 6 H+ → 3 Cu2+ + 2 NO + 4 H2O
The complete redox reaction is now balanced.
3 Cu + 2 HNO3 + 6 H+ → 3 Cu2+ + 2 NO + 4 H2O
To summarize:
- Identify the oxidation and reduction components of the reaction.
- Separate the reaction into the oxidation half-reaction and reduction half-reaction.
- Balance each half-reaction both atomically and electronically.
- Equalize the electron transfer between oxidation and reduction half-equations.
- Recombine the half-reactions to form the complete redox reaction.

In Defense of Royal Baby Fever
Whether you celebrate it or spurn it, the birth of a royal baby is historic.
Whether you're celebrating the birth of the royal baby or you're spurning it (if you're the latter, British newspaper The Guardian has enabled a feature to turn off royal baby news on its website), the royal baby birth watch has reached fever pitch as palace officials announced that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has gone into labor with her and Prince William's first child.
The news broke that Middleton has gone into labor early Monday morning, after weeks that reporters had been camped out in front of Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, where Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William and Prince Harry.
[PHOTOS: Awaiting the Royal Baby]
Yet they will have to wait a little longer: The only news that has come out since is that "Things are progressing as normal," according to a palace spokesperson, and that Queen Elizabeth has arrived at Buckingham Palace, where, per tradition, the birth announcement will be officially posted.
The birth of Kate and Will's child marks the first time since 1894 that next three generations of succession to the throne are all in line. The rule of primogeniture that gave male successors priority over their sisters is in the process of being scrapped, meaning Kate and Will's first born will be eligible for the crown regardless of gender.
[ALSO: Brits Betting on Royal Baby's Sex, Career Choice and Olympic Chances]
The duchess has also broken from tradition by not posting publicly the hiring of a full-time nanny. The baby will reportedly be brought to the home of Kate's commoner parents after his or her birth, as the prince and duchess's apartment at Kensington Palace is still undergoing renovations.
People love to hate on monarchies, but there still a case to be made for the tradition. In the last royal media storm, Kate and Will's royal wedding in 2011, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat offered his defense. And as Slate's economics reporter Matt Yglesias pointed out Monday, "12 of the top 20 countries by GDP per capita have monarchs."
And there is the economic boost the baby itself is delivering, with analysts at economic firm IHS Global Insight predicting a small but positive surge to the U.K. economy at large. Souvenir manufacturers have been pumping out the royal baby birth memorabilia, which ranges from the traditional ceramics to the absolute wacky. The Centre for Retail Research estimates the birth will bring in 243 million pounds (about $373 million) in souvenir sales, festivities and other media. Gambling firms have also capitalized on the momentum, raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in bets on everything from the royal baby's name to his or her future career.
And that's not to mention the fuss the media is making over the event, with the foreign editor of ABC News telling the New York Times, "This is probably the most anticipated birth since the dawn of Twitter."
That's why perhaps the most historic news to come out of the royal birth thus far is how quietly it all started: Kate Middleton was driven to the hospital early this morning, virtually unnoticed by the press.

For The Daily Item
JPMorgan Chase, the nation's largest bank, reported a 33 percent rise in first-quarter earnings on Friday, bolstered by gains in the investment banking business and a surge in mortgage lending.
"All our businesses had strong performance, and our client franchises did exceptionally well," Jamie Dimon, the bank's chief executive, said in a statement. As the economy recovers slowly, demand for loans remained stagnant. JPMorgan said total loans at the bank fell 1 percent. Yet gains from investment banking allowed JPMorgan to record 12 consecutive quarters of profit.

Melbourne, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) - Gareth Paddison birdied his final hole Sunday to win the Victorian PGA Championship by a stroke.
Paddison, who earned his fifth career win on the PGA Tour of Australasia, carded a 1-under 72 during his final round at finish the tournament at 16- under-par 272.
"The wind was so strong out there all day. It was very tricky. To be able to hold on to my lead and win by one shot was fantastic," said Paddison.
Michael Hendry shot a 69 to end a shot off the pace at 15-under 273. while Jamie Arnold (71) took third place at minus-14.
Kurt Barnes (71) and Andrew Martin (66) shared fourth at 12-under.
Paddison maintained his overnight lead with three birdies and two bogeys over his first 16 holes before a bogey at the par-3 17th dropped him to 15-under and into a tie for the lead with Hendry.
But Paddison stuck his second shot at the 18th to three feet and converted that birdie effort to claim his second Victorian PGA Championship title.

Hi all!
I've been reading up on CP for almost a year now (both home and car audio), and I really value the contributions from the members on this site. With that said, I have questions with an install I plan on doing and I would really appreciate some advice.
I purchased sr5250's and was just going to run passive with the supplied crossovers for ease of install, but the crossovers are huge and I can't find anyplace where they will fit in my doors. (Previous install was done at a local shop and I was hoping to plug and play using current crossover location)
Then I thought, ok, I'll just mount crossovers in trunk. Then that led to... if I'm running extra wire from the trunk anyway, why not just use my four channel amp to run active? I was previously running my amp bridged to components up front, with HU power to stock speakers in rear-(faded forward except for when I had rear seat passengers and wanted to balance volume for everyone in the car).
I don't want to lose the front/rear fade, but if I use rear rca from head unit to channel B on my amp then I'm pretty sure I just lost that option.
I was thinking maybe split the signal from front RCA's before the amp, but then I lose HU control of separate tweet/mid settings & TA (I think).
I don't really want to buy anymore equipment at this time, and I'm thinking my best option to run active is to just leave rear speakers unplugged and then plug them in when I know I'll have rear passengers. (bad idea?)
What I'm working with:
2010 Corolla, HU- KDC-X993, 4 chan amp- KAC-X541, sub amp- KDC-X811D, comps- SR5250, sub- T7512-04, stock rear speakers running off HU
I plan on placing comps in stock locations (tweets in pillars, drivers in doors)
My first question then: Is there a way to run active with my current gear and have front/rear fade option yet still keep rear stock speakers hooked up to HU but turned down for daily driving?
2nd ?: Does everyone recomend just dumping rear speakers altogether-(even with rear passengers?)
3rd ?: With my HU and amp, do you folks recommend just running passive with the sr5250 crossovers?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much info as I could to recieve the best advice.
I've never installed before (other than just replacing speakers), and I'll be learning as I go so any advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance!!

If the festival stage brought some hip hop notables, you can only imagine who showed up during the main-stage performance. There were whispers that Jay-Z and Beyonce were going to come as the surprise guests and perform "Crazy in Love" (one could only hope); however, the recently named billionaire couple did make an appearance to support Hot 97 and their fellow artists.
Lil Kim was also another surprise guest that seemed to have been predicted amongst the eager fans. She slipped in through the back only to make a splash on stage with Fabolous, performing "Queen B*tch." While her song selection probably had more to do with Biggie, it didn't help that rival Nicki Minaj performed later.
Recently coming off of tour with Juicy J, Ferg was the only artist who performed at both the festival stage and the main stage. He and Rocky brought out Trinidad James to perform the viral remix to his Billboard-topping song "Work."
Social media maven Karen Civil and Pusha-T were spotted before Pusha's surprise set with Fabolous, who have recently been touring together on the "Life Is So Exciting" tour. Karen sported this tank made by Sue Tsai.
Miguel started off the night extremely strong, bringing out two surprise guests in his set--J.Cole and Mariah Carey. Check him out posing for Hot 97 above!
Wale brought Meek Mill out as his surprise guest, completely putting on for MMG. Known for his intricate use of syllables, Meek performed his single "Levels" for the first time tonight.

Now I want to be clear on the Social Security point, I am a staunch believer in those who worked their entire lives putting into the social security program and are now in their late 60's and beyond are entitled to what they are receiving every month. No, I am talking about the lazy SOB's that Obozo and his cronies have placed on social security disability that can work but choose not to. See, my theory is that Obozo and his cronies hate what the founding fathers established in this country and it has been their goal to change my country into another USSR (the Socialist States of America).
These jackasses have been adding undeserving people to the social security disability program for years. Why? So they can create a large pool of lazy unmotivated leeches that will keep them in positions of authority. Obozo has no intentions of creating jobs and his henchmen and women have been manipulating the statistics to hide this crippling move on our economy. We always hear from the lame stream liars in the media that unemployment is at around 7 to 8 percent of the work force, that is a lie. You see they are manipulating the numbers of who gets included in that percentage to keep it at that percentage. They don't include people that have stopped looking for work and the such. Then they add the number of jobs "created" but never subtract the number of jobs lost, this keeps the number from jumping to actually represent what part of the workforce is not working. In my very simple world you take the number of people who can work and divide it by the number of people who are looking for work and that is the unemployment rate in this country. If I had to guess it would be more like 17% unemployment.
Here is another way that Obozo and his socialist buddies have been hiding their war against America. They have been adding millions of people to social security disability. I have talked with more than one person that has worked for the Social Security Administration and have heard similar tales from all of them. The people I have talked with have seen people that could work but won't because they are getting more money from the system than they could earn with a 40 hour a week job. Where is the incentive to work and be a productive member of society if you are always getting more money for doing nothing than going out into society and producing a product or service for the community?
This is how the USSR fell apart, people being given everything by big federal government and no incentive to better themselves or the community they lived in. That is what Obozo and the liberal democrats are working to change our CAPITALISTIC society into, a SOCIALIST one; and they are succeeding. Before they can fully implement their plan they first need to disarm those of us who can think for ourselves and pose a threat to their plan. That is why they are ALWAYS looking to take away our 2nd amendment rights. They can't achieve the socialist objective if they have to contend with an armed revolt.
Here is the bottom line in my entire rant, our social welfare system (unemployment and social security) needs to be audited for the MILLIONS who do NOT deserve to be on these programs. These programs are currently being used to give free rides to undeserving people and we can solve our deficit spending by leaning these programs down by eliminating the dead wood leeching off the system. I am not heartless and believe in helping those less fortunate and down on their luck but that generosity has limits and mine has been exceeded.
