Just when it looked like things might really go off the road and into a Legislative Ditch, Democrats cut a deal with the moderate Blue Dogs to keep health care reform going in the House.
President Obama went out of his way to thank "some" Blue Dogs for helping in that effort.
"Those efforts are extraordinarily constructive in strengthening this legislation and bringing down its cost," he said in a written statement issued by the White House.
The good thing for the White House was that the deal at least gave the impression of momentum on reform, and made people sort of forget that President Obama wanted a vote in the House and Senate by next week.
Instead, he will be lucky to get final committee action in the House and Senate.
Still, nothing is set in concrete, and this thing could still come apart, especially in the Senate, where the Democrats need (and don't have) 60 votes.
"Of course, many groups still desperately want to block health reform, so it is still too early to be popping champagne corks," said Professor Leighton Ku of George Washington University in D.C.
Not as impressed about all this deal making was Michael Steele, the head of the Republican National Committee.
"Any Democrat, Blue Dog or not, that proposes raising taxes on small businesses during a recession and a time of severe unemployment to pay for government-run health care reform should have their head examined," said Steele in a written release.
One caveat is that a vote in the House and Senate won't occur until after Labor Day in September.
That gives both sides - but especially the opponents of the Democrats' plans - a lot of time to get their message out, especially in swing districts.
You could tell how much interest this is already generating by the fact that the web page for the House Energy and Commerce Committee was overwhelmed by people looking for information about the health care bill.
"The Energy and Commerce website is experiencing an unusually high number of visitors," read a bare-bones web page late Wednesday night.
"We are endeavoring to restore access as quickly as possible," it read, offering only two links where you could download the text of the health care bill and a section by section summary.
To help you out, you can find the Health bill at http://bit.ly/nSL2A and the summary at http://bit.ly/16FBo7

Highly Recommended!By Jessica on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 Mrs. Newberry was awesome!!! She had no problem keeping the attention of 22 six-year-old girls. Mrs. Newberry arrived right on time and in full character! She was very well organized. The furniture and the accessories that she brought were all so unique! She had beautifully painted wooden tables & chairs, a wooden high-chair jewelry stand, a carousel horse, a back ground screen and of course, the china tea sets! She brought a great selection of princess dresses, jewelry and hats for the girls to choose from. All of the girls enjoyed finger foods and tea while Mrs. Newberry read them a few books. She provided fruit, cheese cubes, pinwheels, mini muffins and cookies for each table along with flavored lemonade (the tea). She also had an adult table set-up with finger foods. What a wonderful memory to have! Thank you Mrs. Newberry! Very Professional ***Highly Recommended*** |
An absolutely beautiful experience!By Sue on Monday, February 21, 2011 Mrs. Newberry was perfect in every way. My 6 year old daughter was invited to a Birthday Tea Party for two of her kindergarten friends. I was so impressed with the decorations, the china, the beautiful little table and chairs, the hats, dresses, jewelry and food. Everything was adorable. Mrs. Newberry's attention to detail is top notch. She stayed in character the entire time, even while she was speaking to the adults at the party. She is fabulous at what she does and incredibly professional. I was amazed at how well she kept the children engaged. The girls looked beautiful in the costume dresses and hats. The girls were grinning from ear to ear. Well done Mrs. Newberry, well done! |
Disappointed on the South SideBy Dhart on Thursday, February 17, 2011 I would love to have been a "Pleased Parent" who was able to provide for their child a "Truly Amazing", "Magical", "Wonderfully", "Memorable Experience", "Very Happy", "Worth every Penny" treasure of a day 7th birthday for my daughter. However, I was more than disappointed to find that no matter what my economic status may be, that simply based on my geographical location, Mrs. Newberry felt it completely unsafe to service my daughter and her guests. Even when the suggestion to change venues was offered, (that being my church with a locked/gated parking lot) I was still met with the same unsubstantiated hesitation. I found this really hard to comprehend as the person who referred me to Mrs. Newberry, hosted her party within 1 mile of both suggested venues. Do know that I am fully aware of the dangers that exist in the world (not just the inner city of Chicago) and completely understand that as women, we must protect and consider our safety at all times. Hence, I would never take my daughter nor her friends and our family anywhere I felt it would be detrimental to our health and safety, nor would I ask anyone else too. Mrs. Newberry's position on the issue was that she travels alone, as if I were paying her to come to an empty warehouse with no guests. Please note I was looking to book our event on a Monday at 12noon (what time is high tea?)! So to say the least, as happy as I am that there is someone like Mrs. Newberry offering one of the most fabulous experiences a girl could ever dream of at the age of 7; our address seems to be merely one mile outside of her ring of safety and security. Maybe I'll just take my daughter and her friends on a nice trip to England instead (Which I can afford, thank you very much). Sincerely, Disappointed in the city |
Very happy!By MBailey on Saturday, January 29, 2011 Ms. Newberry made my daughter's 7th birthday party an event she will always treasure! A truly good time was had by all the girls. |
Worth every penny!By Judy on Monday, November 22, 2010 She arrives in style and in full character and definitely commends your attention. A consumate professional with exceptional oganization skills. From her props to the pastries she leaves no stone unturned. Each and every child was awed by the experience and a special time was enjoyed by all. Surely going to be difficult to top this one. Well done Mrs. Newberry!! |
Magical!By Wendy Vroom on Monday, October 25, 2010 For my twins' 5 year birthday party we had the joy of having Mrs. Newberry come for tea! The twins are boy/girl twins and I was skeptical of how the boys would like it. Mrs. Newberry was wonderful! She included the boys with Power Punch and superhero costumes, while the girls sipped tea in her outrageously beautiful costumes and hats. I was relaxing while she had a magical storytime with 20 children, (10 girls, 10 boys) and they all listened and were enthralled by her. She is a consumate perfectionist! She brings everything you need and more! Between snacks, craft and games the time just flew by. And she truly made it special for the birthday girl and birthday boy! I would highly recommend Mrs. Newberrys Traveling Tea Party! |
ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS!!!!!By Jene' McClain on Monday, October 18, 2010 My daughter's 4th birthday party was yesterday and I could not wait to tell the world all about it.I truly don't know where to start in regards to Mrs. Newberry and this tea party. I am truly speechless and in awe! Mrs.Newberry arrived promptly and in full costume. From day one via telephone she always remained professional. She was very thorough when providing answers to questions and always responded in a timely manner. The day of the tea party she arrived two hours prior for setup and who would have known that her trailor held all the answers to every little girls dream. Mrs. Newberry transferred the living room into a magical tea party. From the little tables and chairs, the fancy china tea cups, costumes and accessories, finger foods for children and adults, the games, storytime and the list goes on........... I would be here all day if I gave every specific little detail. It was just amazing. I must add the OUTSTANDING job that Mrs. Newberry did with keeping (20) 4-5 YEAR OLD girls organized and quiet. (Who new that was possible) If you are looking for a party that requires minimum to no work hire Mrs. Newberry. Like one of the parents previously stated she BRINGS THE ENTIRE PARTY, all you need is the guests. My family, friends and guests have been ranting over this event and it hasn't been 24 hours. I suggest you book her TODAY!!!! |
A Wonderful ExperienceBy Carolyn on Thursday, February 11, 2010 When I entered my neice's teaparty the scene was beyond my expectations. I heard great things about it but Mrs. Newberry brings kids parties to a whole new level. The little guests had an array of costumes to choose from in addition to boas, big hats, and glittery shoes. Mrs. Newberry is in character from the moment she enters the door until the time she leaves. The adorable little tables and chairs, fancy finger foods, vintage teapots and teacups were a special detail...the kids played games and enjoyed drinking their tea while Mrs. Newberry read to them...I felt like I stepped into a storybook setting myself. She brings the entire party, all you need to do is supply the guests. If only I could be 7 years old again! The level of detail and work that goes into this party is so impressive, I highly recommend her. Your little girl will never forget this! |
An amazing memory!!!By Crystal Mayer on Sunday, January 31, 2010 I am just blown away by what a fantastic job Mrs.Newberry did for my 4 year daughters tea party!!! Everything was to perfection and I mean everything including the fancy china tea cups to the beautiful painted tea tables!!! I wish I could tell the world on how awesome this tea party is!!! My daughter and he friends had such an amazing time & I truely am thankful to Mrs.Newberry for giving us such an awsome party!! If you are a mother of a little girl I would definetly call Mrs.Newberry!!! |
Magical!By Deme Stathos on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Mrs. Newberry definitely knows how to throw a magical tea party for little girls! All her decor sets the tone for the event! Her decorative china, party dresses and hats are beautiful! Every little table is set up for each little princess to enjoy her tea and finger food! My mom thought it was the most beautiful party she had ever seen! Everyone who entered the room had an amazed look on their face!!! Mrs. Newberry is SO sweet and works hard to make the party perfect! I highly recommend her tea party!!! Your little girl will love it! :) |
Truly Amazing!By Denise on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 Hands down Mrs. Newberry's tea party is the best tea party we have had. An amazing photo opportunity for parents as the kids are all dressed in pretty costumes, sipping tea and enjoying the fruits, cheese and delicious cookies. There is even a treat table for the adults! Mrs. Newberry brings a complete party to your home with so much more than I could have imagined. Games, stories, dress up what more can a girl ask for. Our daughter truly enjoyed her party and still speaks of it. From the moment Mrs. Newberry walked through our door our 6 year old's eyes lit up. From set up right down to the end of the party it was the best and easiest party I have thrown. I highly recommend Mrs. Newberry to all of the moms out there that want to give their daughters a party to remember. |
pleased parent!By Heather on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 Mrs. Newberry arrived in full costume and character for my daughters 7th Birthday Party. The children were excited to meet her and amazed by the decorations and dress up clothes. The party was festive and lots of fun, it was especially FANCY. Amazingly, the children got all dressed up and settled right into a proper tea party. Mrs. Newberry kept it fun, but also kept it orderly and organized. You can't go wrong with someone showing up with everything you need: decorations galore, food (even adult snacks), entertainment, games, and lots of fun. It will be a Birthday Party that Emma is sure to remember, she said it was "Amazing"! |

Rockets rally for 118-113 OT win over Blazers
HOUSTON (AP) - James Harden scored 41 points, Jeremy Lin had 26 and the Houston Rockets rallied for a 118-113 overtime win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.
The Trail Blazers led by 3 in overtime after two free throws by Wesley Matthews. Houston took over from there, using an 8-2 run with a 3 from Harden and four points from Lin to make it 116-113 with 35.4 seconds left. Lin added two free throws after that to help the Rockets secure their fifth straight win.
Harden hit a 3-pointer with seconds left in regulation to send it to overtime.
LaMarcus Aldridge led the Trail Blazers with 28 points and 12 rebounds, but managed just two points in OT.
Dwight Howard added 17 points with 12 rebounds and Chandler Parsons had 16 points for Houston.
Mavs extend Pacers' skid to 4 with 105-94 win
DALLAS (AP) - Monta Ellis and Devin Harris scored 20 points apiece and the Dallas Mavericks extended Indiana's season-long losing streak to four games with a 105-94 victory against the Pacers on Sunday night.
The Pacers rallied from 17 points down in the first half and almost wiped out another double-digit deficit after halftime, but had the same offensive troubles late that plagued them early in the game.
Paul George had 27 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Pacers, who stayed a game and a half up on Miami for the lead in the Eastern Conference after the Heat lost in overtime to Chicago.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 14 points on a tough shooting night as the Mavericks swept the two-game season series from the Pacers, who were coming off their most lopsided loss in a 26-point defeat at Houston.

Brittney Martin had 11 points and 15 rebounds for Oklahoma State, but she made 4 of 16 shots. Tiffany Bias, OSU's leading scorer, finished with nine points on 3-for-11 shooting and played with foul trouble for most of the game.

Christal Caldwell added 15 points for the Mountaineers. West Virginia outscored Texas 28-14 from the free-throw line to win its 12th straight.
West Virginia advanced to play No. 9 Baylor in the championship game Monday night. The Mountaineers will try to win the tournament in their second year in the Big 12.

Chassidy Fussell scored 15 points, and Nekia Jones added 14 for the Longhorns.
It was the rubber match in a tight series. West Virginia won the first regular-season meeting 56-49 in overtime at home, and Texas won the rematch 66-63 in Austin.
Dickey pitches 5 shutout innings for Blue Jays
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - R.A. Dickey pitched five shutout innings Sunday before the Houston Astros came back to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 in an exhibition game.
Dickey threw 82 pitches in five innings in his third spring start, giving up four hits and a walk while striking out four. The Astros got a runner into scoring position against him only with the help of a wild pitch.
Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Perez drove in runs for the Astros in the eighth inning off losing pitcher Jeremy Jeffress.
Eric Kratz had two hits and drove in two for the Blue Jays while catching Dickey's knuckleball through the first five innings.
Jason Castro tied it for the Astros with a two-run home run in the sixth.
Left-hander Rudy Owens, a 26-year-old rookie who has yet to pitch in the major leagues, pitched five shutout innings for the Astros.
Reed on a roll, wins a World Golf Championship
DORAL, Fla. (AP) - San Antonio's Patrick Reed won the Cadillac Championship for this third PGA Tour title in seven months, and this was a big one.
Dressed in a red shirt he always wears on Sunday - with Tiger Woods in the group ahead of him - Reed made back-to-back birdies on Nos. 3 and 4 at Doral to pull away early. He played the 18th conservatively and made bogey for an even-par 72 and a one-shot victory over Bubba Watson and Jamie Donaldson of Wales.
At 23, Reed became the youngest winner of a World Golf Championship.
Woods failed to make a birdie in the final round for the first time in his career and closed with a 78, his highest Sunday score ever.
It was the second straight time Reed has won wire-to-wire.

DALLAS, Dec. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fort Worth and Dallas sit in the first and second spots among the top 10 housing markets in the country for investing in single family homes, according to new data compiled by HomeVestors (known as the "We Buy Ugly Houses®" company) and Local Market Monitor. Job growth, particularly in lower paying jobs, population growth and relatively low home prices are factors making investments in single family homes as rental properties a nearly risk-free opportunities in Fort Worth and Dallas as well as several other markets across the country, explained Ingo Winzer, president and founder of Local Market Monitor.
"Fort Worth and Dallas have low unemployment rates, 5.9 and 6.0 respectively, coupled with strong population and job growth rates and home prices averaging below market value -- 20 percent for Fort Worth and 12 percent for Dallas -- which makes them ideal market for investing in single family homes as rental properties," said Winzer.
Markets in the top 10 include Fort Worth (1), Dallas (2), Charlotte (3), Nashville (4), Houston (5), Atlanta (6), Oklahoma City (7), Orlando (8), Las Vegas (9) and Boise City (10). "These markets also have strong home price appreciation, but are still underpriced by as much as 28 percent," Winzer said.
"We think the markets hold considerable opportunities for investors as long as they do not over pay for properties," said David Hicks, HomeVestors co-president, noting that risk of investing in all markets across the country remains low. "Only seven of the top 100 markets continue to be ranked as 'speculative.'"
These include Columbia (SC), Los Angeles, Gary, Providence, Buffalo, Toledo and Cleveland. "These markets continue to have weak population and job growth that makes them more risky investments," Hicks said.
Hicks noted that the strong markets have fueled unprecedented growth in home purchases by HomeVestors® franchisees. "We just passed the 55,000 mark in the overall number of homes we purchased company-wide," he noted, "and we're on track this year to considerably outpace our 2012 total of 2,500 homes purchased in a 12-month period."

Eagles Addict:
Is Andy Reid making moves in order to remain head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013? I'm sure nobody really wants to hear this, or even think about it, but there is a scenario brewing that could ultimately keep Reid in Philly…
Let's take into consideration the following things:
Reid's son passes away during training camp
Injuries have decimated the offensive line to a point where any offense would struggle
DeSean Jackson out for the year
Michael Vick knocked out and probably won't return
Juan Castillo was fired
Jason Babin released
Now Jim Washburn has been fired
Nick Foles has progressed each week and is coming off of a good performance in Dallas
Bryce Brown looks exciting (sans the fumbles)
There are a few ways to look at the recent moves Reid has made. Reid has either finally admitted to himself the mistakes he made and is correcting them, is under pressure from Jeff Lurie to make changes, is making these moves in a desperation attempt to save his job, or is doing thes...

Panelboard awarded patent for breaker coordination, touchsafe capabilities
ABB received a patent for its ProLine Panelboard, noted for having complete breaker coordination and touchsafe capabilities.
ABB's Low Voltage Products division has been awarded a United States patent for the advanced current limiting, selective coordination and safety technology of its ProLine Panelboard product. The patent recognizes ProLine Panelboard as the only product of its kind with complete breaker coordination and touchsafe capabilities. ProLine Panelboard is suited for industrial and commercial applications where power reliability and safety of high integrity is required such as critical power, data centers, banking, insurance and medical.
ProLine Panelboard has selective coordination. Selective coordination increases uptime by limiting power outages to the branch of an electrical system where a problem occurs, without knocking out other areas of the system. When a fault occurs the closest overcurrent protective device opens, ensuring that any faults do not cascade upstream. In this way the advanced breaker coordination technology isolates electrical problems, stops nuisance tripping and avoids system-wide blackouts.
ProLine Panelboard isolates the operator during installation and maintenance, eliminating human exposure to any live components. The bus bar is covered and the interior is encased in resin for additional safety. Breaker connections are made in "wells" that prevent any contact with live parts, while containing any arcs that may occur. Traditional US panelboards feature an open architecture with the bus bar structure and breaker hardware void of any insulating material, exposing operators to "live" parts when servicing and installing. Such systems require the operator to manually secure the breaker with a screw directly on the open chassis bus bar. ABB's system features a breaker screw that mechanically secures the breaker with a connection not connected to the bus bar.

text: If one asks current or former WikiLeaks associates what their greatest fear is, almost none cites prosecution by their own country. Most trust their own nation's justice system to recognize that they have committed no crime. The primary fear is being turned over to the US. That is the crucial context for understanding Julian Assange's 16-month fight to avoid extradition to Sweden, a fight that led him to seek asylum, Tuesday, in the London Embassy of Ecuador.

Barbara Stanwyck was born Ruby Stevens on July 16, 1907, in Brooklyn, NY. She endured a rough-and-tumble childhood befitting the fierce heroines she would later play on screen. When Stanwyck was two, her mother died after being pushed from a moving trolley by a drunk. Her father was more interested in drinking and womanizing than raising his children and abandoned his brood to work on the Panama Canal. He was never heard from again. Sadly, neighbors put Ruby and her brothers and sisters into foster homes. It was a grim existence, but even at a young age, Stanwyck did not indulge in self-pity. Between the ages of 11 and 13, she learned to dance while living with her older sister Millie, a showgirl. She bounced in-and-out of school while working at a variety of low-level jobs, but had caught the performing bug from those early dance lessons and just knew her destiny was to be a star. The problem was how to be a star while broke and struggling in Brooklyn.
The gutsy perseverance embodied by the characters she would one day play came into focus for real while Stanwyck auditioned for Broadway shows. She was short, skinny and not conventionally pretty, but she was also unstoppable. Her grit got her on the chorus line of a few Broadway shows, but her ambition pushed her to center stage. The great Broadway producer David Belasco took notice of her, changed her name to "Barbara Stanwyck," and cast her in his play, "The Noose." The play was a smash hit and Stanwyck - just 20 years old - was now a stage star. She headlined another hit play, "Burlesk," which attracted the attention of a film producer. Not long after, she won the small part of a fan dancer in the silent movie "Broadway Nights" (1927), and while the role and the film were not memorable, the experience in front of a camera was. Stanwyck and her new husband, actor Frank Fay, left New York for Hollywood to try their luck in motion pictures.
Stanwyck's movie career caught fire as soon as she stepped into the hot Los Angeles sunshine. She won leads in the "The Locked Door" (1929) and "Mexicali Rose" (1929) and never looked back. From the beginning of her film career, she established the Stanwyck template: bright, beautiful, and ballsy - all on her own terms. Her powerful presence in those early films thrust her into her first "A" picture, "Ladies of Leisure" (1930). Directed by the up-and-coming Frank Capra and based on a play by her old friend David Belasco, Stanwyck shined as a "party girl" hired by a wealthy artist to be his model. The movie was a hit and Stanwyck established herself as someone to be reckoned with both on and off screen.
As the 1930s progressed and Americans struggled with the economic hardships of the Great Depression, Stanwyck became a potent symbol of the underdog who could triumph over any circumstances. In movies like "Ten Cents a Dance" (1931), "The Miracle Woman" (1931), and "Shopworn" (1932), she played variations on the good girl from the wrong side of the tracks who must overcome social prejudice and economic adversity to realize her dreams of love and prosperity. It was an old formula but Stanwyck's aggressive and witty approach breathed new life into it.
Stanwyck's career raced forward with vehicles tailored to her inimitable mix of attitude and allure. She usually made three to four pictures a year and earned a reputation as one of the hardest working women in Hollywood. Her marriage to Fay crumbled as she became a rising star and he became an unemployed drunk. Perhaps this additional emotional pain brought even more poignancy to the succession of parts she played. "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" (1933) showcased the actress as a self-sacrificing missionary's wife during the Chinese Civil War. "The Woman in Red" (1935) featured her as a poor but noble woman who rides show horses for wealthy snobs intent on ruining her marriage to a once-wealthy polo player. "Annie Oakley" (1935) saw Stanwyck playing the eponymous sharp shooter who finds love and fame as the star of Buffalo Bill's "Wild West Show." The movies were not always first rate, but nobody quibbled with Stanwyck's performances.
Stanwyck's star rose steadily through the 1930s, but it took her blockbuster turn in the romantic drama "Stella Dallas" (1937) to put her in the elite of Hollywood's actresses - on par with Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, and Carole Lombard. Although based on a novel, the film seemed crafted to play to Stanwyck's strengths. In the title role of a working-class woman who marries and has a child with a well-born but destitute man, Stanwyck once again revisited her underdog persona. But the movie's power sprung from the self-sacrifice that Stella makes for her beloved daughter after the marriage breaks up. Choosing to give up her child so that she can lead a better life among the wealthy and privileged, Stanwyck's powerful performance earned her an Academy Award nomination - no doubt helped by the classic scene of her standing outside her daughter's window, crying as she watches her join her new family.
For the first of several times, Stanwyck lost out on the Oscar but kept winning great parts. A tireless worker, she churned out movies at a steady pace. "The Mad Miss Manton" (1938) allowed her to switch gears and play a wacky debutante rather than her usual plucky pauper. It also teamed her with Henry Fonda, who would soon co-star with Stanwyck in the classic screwball comedy "The Lady Eve." "Golden Boy" (1939) featured Stanwyck playing a cunning boxing promoter's wife who supports the career of a young fighter, played by newcomer William Holden. In reality, Stanwyck grew especially close to the young actor, helping to promote his career. She fought hard on Holden's behalf when the studio wanted to replace him, and the movie's subsequent success turned Holden into a star. It also earned him the nickname "Golden Boy," which Stanwyck would refer to him thereafter, until his untimely death in 1981. For his part, Holden was so grateful to the actress for fighting for him that he reportedly sent her flowers every year on the anniversary of the first day of filming.
Stanwyck slowed down her busy career long enough to marry the impossibly handsome actor Robert Taylor in 1939. Cynics whispered that it was an arranged marriage to quell rumors that both of them were gay. She treated these rumors with her characteristic fortitude, plowing headfirst into some of the most creatively brilliant work of her life. The year 1941 may have been a bad year for America as the country staggered into World War II, but it was a great year for Stanwyck. She starred in four movies - three of which became instant classics, including "The Lady Eve," "Meet John Doe" (1941), and "Ball of Fire" (1941).
In "The Lady Eve" Stanwyck played a con artist who seduces the wealthy but unsophisticated Henry Fonda. After a misunderstanding causes them to split, she impersonates a wealthy English aristocrat to get back at him. The comedy's absurd premise remains grounded in reality, thanks to Stanwyck, who demands the audience's sympathy despite her scheming. The tiny, quirky-looking, and aggressive Stanwyck was more than a match for the tall, pretty and passive Fonda, and despite not earning an Academy Award nomination, Stanwyck's work in "The Lady Eve" ranks as perhaps her greatest comedic performance of them all.
"Meet John Doe" paired Stanwyck with yet another ridiculously tall, good looking leading man in Gary Cooper. They could not have been more different. Cooper was 6'3," came from Montana, and spoke - when he spoke at all - in the quiet, flat tones of the upper Plains. Stanwyck was 5'3," came from Brooklyn, and never lost the clipped cadences of her native New York. Director Frank Capra took full advantage of his stars' contrasts by letting their natural personalities and differences play out on screen. Stanwyck, in the role of a reporter who must scramble to save her reputation after printing a fake letter by an imagined "John Doe," again won audience sympathy through the engaging forces of her personality and intelligence.
"Ball of Fire" featured Stanwyck and Cooper again, but this time in a lighter comedy than the socially pointed "Meet John Doe." Stanwyck was in her familiar element, playing another girl from the wrong side of the tracks; this time, a wisecracking nightclub singer on the lam from the mob. Cooper did a variation on the Henry Fonda role in "The Lady Eve," lending his charm to the role of a naïve professor researching American slang. Sparks fly between Stanwyck and Cooper, with each teaching the other a thing or two about their disparate worlds before falling in love. Under Howard Hawks' crisp direction, the screwball premise crackled with pitch perfect comedy and romance, leaving Stanwyck with yet another hit on her hands. She also earned her second Academy Award nomination for her work in the film.
To this point, Stanwyck had proved she could play comedy, drama - even melodrama. But with "Double Indemnity" (1944), she upped the ante, proving in a platinum wig and seductive satin heels that she could play Fred MacMurray - play him for a sap, that is. One of the greatest film noir thrillers of all time, "Double Indemnity" was directed and adapted by Billy Wilder with Raymond Chandler from the James M. Cain novel. A wicked waltz danced by a scheming femme fatale and crooked insurance salesman, Stanwyck seduces MacMurray before convincing him to kill her husband to collect on his life insurance. Multiple double-crosses follow, as the couple's plan begins to unravel. Stanwyck's performance - packed with treachery, seduction and venom - earned her a third Academy Award nomination. And yet again, she was overlooked, losing out to Ingrid Bergman for "Gaslight" (1944).
"Double Indemnity" represented the high-water mark of Stanwyck's cinema career. She continued acting in movies for another dozen years but none of the movies approached the searing brilliance of her earlier films. "Sorry, Wrong Number" (1948) was a fine thriller and garnered Stanwyck her final Academy Award nomination, but it did not leave an indelible mark on film culture as "Double Indemnity" did. As she aged and the movie roles became less interesting, Stanwyck turned her inestimable talents to television. "The Barbara Stanwyck Show" (NBC, 1960) lasted only one season but earned its star an Emmy Award. Stanwyck's marriage to Robert Taylor had ended in divorce in 1951, but she kept the ranch and horses they had shared. This kept her in prime riding shape to handle a host of guest appearances on Western shows like "Wagon Train" (NBC, 1957-1962; ABC, 1962-65). Finally, with the Western series "The Big Valley" (ABC, 1965-69), Stanwyck landed a long-running prime time hit that kept her busy and made her a fortune. She also won another Emmy Award for the role, playing the matriarch of a large family in central California.
The aging Stanwyck's final professional triumphs were all on TV, including another Emmy Award for her work in the phenomenally successful miniseries "The Thorn Birds" (ABC, 1983) in which she played Mary Carson, the hard-as-nails owner of a ranch in Australia's outback who lusts after her local priest (Richard Chamberlain). In fact, her porch scene with a naked and decades-younger Chamberlain became the final classic in her canon of memorable onscreen moments. Mustering up the youthful lust she feels for Chamberlain, but cursing out the old body she is trapped inside, it was an Emmy-worthy scene. After "The Thorn Birds," she lent her class and grace to the primetime soap operas "Dynasty" (ABC, 1981-89) and its spin-off "The Colbys" (ABC, 1985-87), but after a lifetime of hard work she was growing tired of the grind.
A robbery at Stanwyck's home precipitated her withdrawing from public view, although she continued to be active with charity work. Both on and off screen, she had seemed a fierce, invulnerable presence, able to conquer any man or circumstance. In real life, her heavy smoking habit and relentless working schedule finally caught up with her. She died from congestive heart failure and emphysema on Jan. 20, 1990, leaving behind an impressive body of work and a unique personality indelibly captured for all time on the silver screen.

Office of the President
The Gates of Pomona College were built in 1914. Since that time, the College has grown, so that today they stand not at the edge of the campus, but near its center. The same could be said for the two inscriptions upon those ceremonial gates. The words of Pomona's fourth president, James A. Blaisdell, seem to have been engraved not merely into stone, but into the very heart of the College.
The inscription on the north side of the gates -- Let only the eager, thoughtful, and reverent enter here -- speaks eloquently to newcomers about the special qualities expected of them as they join this community of scholars. The faculty and students who make up this diverse community share an eagerness to learn, a thoughtfulness about what they learn and a deep reverence for the truth. The inscription on the south side of the gates -- They only are loyal to this college who, departing, bear their added riches in trust for mankind -- speaks with equal clarity to departing graduates about the meaning of a Pomona education. The College exists, the gates remind us, not only to enrich the lives of its students, but also to empower them to make a difference.
Both inscriptions are still as relevant today as they were the day they were carved. They speak to all of us here -- newcomers and old hands alike -- reminding us that we are all part of a timeless enterprise, one that is passed down from generation to generation, changing to meet new times while remaining ever true to its origins.
Here at the Pomona College Website, you will find much more detailed information about the people, programs and events that make up the fabric of this place. If you are new here, I offer you a warm welcome; we hope you will take time to learn more about what makes Pomona special. If you are already a member of the Pomona College family, I will say, simply: Welcome home.

Program Summary: The Costa Rica summer program offers a small cohort of students the opportunity to experience the biodiversity of a Costa Rica tropical rainforest. Students enroll in two courses taught by Santa Clara University instructor Michelle Bezanson (Anthropology). Upon successful completion of the course requirements they will receive a total of 10 units of credit. Students have one week of pre-field instruction at Santa Clara then spend three weeks at a La Suerte Biological Field Station gaining hands-on experience in community ecology and animal behavior.
Course Offerings: All students in the Costa Rica Summer Abroad program will enroll in two courses. The two courses are complementary. Typical days will involve fieldwork (e.g. hiking, data collection) and afternoon lectures/ discussions. The final week of the course will take place at SCU and emphasizes data interpretation and presentation:
ANTH 197: Field Course: Primate Behavioral Ecology Instructor: Professor Michelle Bezanson In this course we emphasize on-site field research with practical experience in the basic techniques of observation and field data analysis. Lectures emphasize core theoretical concepts in primatology, animal behavior, and community ecology research with examples from field studies of New World primates. Each student conducts independent data collection to produce a completed scientific paper where they are the sole author. They can use these results to present in classes, at a conference or research symposium, or to develop future projects. Great projects can be developed into publications to submit to peer-reviewed journals. First, they are immersed within a new academic community where they establish lasting relationships with future colleagues. Second, they learn about the importance of the local community and how our role in research is not restricted to the academic community or our study subjects. Finally, each student learns about themselves and their role in the community.
ENVS 141/BIOL 157: Environmental Ecology in the Tropics Instructor: Professor Michelle Bezanson This course examines tropical biology and ecology and their relationship to issues of sustainable development. The course includes 1.5 weeks of instruction at SCU and 3.5 weeks of field study in Costa Rica. Particular emphasis on tropical ecology, community ecology, reforestation and restoration ecology, sustainable agriculture and fair trade, and ecotourism. Taught in conjunction with ANTH 197. Enrollment by application via International Programs. Also listed as BIOL 157. Prerequisite: BIOL 23, ENVS 21, or ANTH 1. (5 units) NCX
