Note from the Editor in Chief Dec 31, 2010
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is considering down grading their oral health activities by transferring this unit to another department. This does not bode well for "at risk and vulnerable" populations. The impact of the oral-systemic health connection is well known and has added significance for individuals with significant disabilities. I urge readers of Exceptional Parent Magazine, advocates, parents, health providers, policy makers and individuals with disabilities to write to CDC officials, state legislators and disability organizations to voice their concern and petition for a prominent footprint for oral healthcare.

main: February 2008 Archives
My sense of duty is as well developed as that of the next critic (let's not go there), but I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole Academy Awards last evening. I enjoy watching film clips and preening stars as much as anyone, but I couldn't abide the ads.
I don't mean the commercials, which would have served as a great plague on Pharoah, if only the Lord had thought of it. No, I mean the ads congratulating the Academy for being so wonderful and putting on all those wonderful awards shows of the past. I know there's been a writers' strike, but did they have to show all those replays of funny, touching, uplifting bits, when everyone knows that this year's nominees are sorely lacking in all three qualities?
The coverage focused on the "dark" mood of Hollywood, which according to some reporters is out of date now that a Democrat might get elected. But the darkness in American films has been building up for a long time now, especially in those precincts of the movie colony where people are just as cynical about politics as they are about everything else. To my knowledge, the only candidate who has said anything about the sick violence now pervading mainstream films is Barack Obama. So go figure.
This stylish, apolitical darkness dominates all the nominated films, with the exception of Juno - as host Jon Stewart put it, "Thank God for teenage pregnancy." Even the kerzillion-dollar blockbusters that keep Hollywood going feel obliged to get progressively "darker" with each sequel or lose their franchise.
So get ready for the sequel, Ratatouille Twouille , which will feature a demon rat voiced by Johnny Depp, who tears American tourists apart with his long yellow fangs, then drops the pieces into a savory boeuf bourguignon, which his pal Rémy will then feed to other American tourists. Maybe then the Academy will take notice ...
A reader writes to correct my statement that The House of Eliott was never aired in the States. It most certainly has -- on A&E, PBS, and BBC America. It also won top US awards for costume design, including an Emmy and a BAFTA.
Never again will I trust the Internet Movie Data Base, at least when it comes to television distribution.
Apologies for back-sliding into sin of blog neglect. I'm up to my eyebrows in work on my book, and when I am done for the day, the last thing I want to do is spend more time in front of the computer.
But I do have a tip for voracious fans of British TV who have already gone through the better known classics. The House of Eliott, a series about two sisters who start a fashion business in the years after World War One, was never shown in the US. It was also knocked for being the last production shot on videotape in the BBC Television Centre, and (more serious) for concentrating on two touchy British themes: social class, and the relation between art and commerce.
There are some awkward moments in the series, on both fronts. The ancient tradition of treating the working class in a comic-ignoble way and the upper class in a tragic-noble way, persists to a degree. But this is not a series about the working class and the upper class, it's pre-eminently and definitively a series about the middle class. What's more, it's about three flawed but admirably brave and resourceful entrepreneurs: the Elliot sisters Beatrice (Stella Gonet) and Evangeline (Louise Lombard), and their good friend (and eventually husband to Bea) Jack Maddox (Aden Gillett).
Fashion, even the haute couture undertaken by the House of Eliott, is not considered serious art. On the contrary, it is regarded as a parasitical growth, feeding off genuine creativity not contributing to it. Its elitist clientele only add to the problem. It is extremely hard to deal with these topics in a TV series, not least because TV itself suffers from some of the same disdain. But we are in a golden age of longform TV these days, and programs like The House of Elliot made that possible by exploring their characters and themes at novelistic length. It helps that this show was "devised" (as the Brits put it) by Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins, who also created (the hell with "devised") the unforgettable 1970s series, Upstairs, Downstairs.
Unfortunately, the Beeb canceled The House of Elliot after the final episode of the third season was completed, so many loose ends were never tied up. But if you are willing to tolerate that (and some unattractive opening credits), you will be richly rewarded.

Healthy Cooking Tips
Experts at Banner Health and the American Heart Association have developed a number of ways to make healthy cooking delicious and nutritious.
The key "ingredient'' is education: learning how to incorporate more healthier choices into your family's longstanding favorites. There are a number of ways to do this so that tastes are enhanced and every member of your family is happy at the dinner table.
Here are some of our suggestions:
Reducing salt
Cooking Techniques
- Use herbs instead of salt as seasoning and other healthy substitutions.
- Use spray butter or spray oil when you saute foods.
- Cook with spices or seasonings instead of salt and butter
Reducing salt: Eating an excess of sodium (salt) can lead to high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure can develop heart problems or have a stroke.
- Use herbs and spices instead of salt.
- Reduce the amount of salt in a recipe by half, and then reduce that amount by half the next time you make it.
- When using canned vegetables, beans and shellfish drain and rinse them in water before cooking.
- Read food labels carefully and look for sodium in the ingredient list.
- Whole Milk (1 cup) = 1 cup fat-free or nonfat milk + 1 Tbsp. unsaturated oil.
- Heavy Cream (1 cup) = 1 cup evaporated fat-free milk or 1⁄2 cup low-fat yogurt and 1⁄2 cup plain low-fat cottage cheese.
- Sour Cream = Low-fat cottage cheese plus low-fat or nonfat yogurt. Fat-free sour cream is also available.
- Cream Cheese = 4 Tbsp. margarine blended with 1 cup dry low-fat cottage cheese. Add a small amount of fat-free
milk if needed. - Butter (1 Tbsp.) = 1 Tbsp. polyunsaturated margarine or 3⁄4 Tbsp. polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oil. Use 11⁄4 Tbsp. margarine for 1 Tbsp. oil.
- Shortening (1 cup) = 2 sticks polyunsaturated margarine (choose margarine low in trans fat or trans fat free).
- Eggs (1 egg) = 1 egg white plus 2 tsp. of unsaturated oil, or use a cholesterol-free egg substitute.
- Unsweetened Baking Chocolate (1 oz) = 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder + 1 Tbsp. polyunsaturated
oil or margarine. Carob is sweeter than cocoa, so reduce sugar in recipe by 1⁄4.
Using Vegetable Oils: Use liquid vegetable oils that have no more than 2 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon when cooking requires using fat. For example:
- To brown lean meats and to pan- or ovenfry
fish and skinless poultry - To sauté onions and other vegetables for soup.
- In sauces and soups made with fat-free milk.
- In whipped or scalloped potatoes
- For popping corn.
- In casseroles made with dried peas or beans.
- When cooking dehydrated potatoes and other prepared foods.
- Bake, grill, roast or steam foods instead of frying them.
- Food seared or caramelized will taste better without adding a lot of fat or calories.
- Roast vegetables in a hot oven to caramelize their natural sugars and bring out their full flavors.
- Warm desserts before serving because the heat increase their sweet flavor.
- Another simple trick to make food look better: Serve it on an attractive plate rather than paper or plastic.

The G-Box turns your TV into the most convenient computer ever and allows you to do virtually anything that you can on your tablet right from your couch!
There's a lot of boxes on the market and since our initial release of the G-Box Midnight clones have started to flood the scene. So, what is the benefit of purchasing an Authentic G-Box Midnight? Well, the question should be: what's the benefit of buying a clone instead?
When you purchase an authentic Matricom product, you are protected with a warranty that NO OTHER MANUFACTURER can touch. What kind of warranty? The kind that says you can break your stuff and we'll fix it. Find anybody else in this industry that touts THAT kind of warranty. When you purchase a clone box, not only are you getting refurbished 2nd hand material, but it is often much older than our current hardware. With that clone also comes no true support, no Matricom warranty and a non-existent return policy. For saving a few dollars, does this really sound like a bargain?
We have worked very hard to develop the Midnight and turned it into the world's most popular enthusiast TV box. This wasn't easy. In fact, the entire community became involved in the G-Box movement. The support for this device is second to none. Moving forward we are working hard to eliminate counterfeit clones from the market that confuse our customers.
How are we doing this?
The new MX2 features OTA updating firmware that will not be compatible with clones on the market. Our goal is to ensure the highest quality user experience possible for authentic devices. This simply means this: if you don't buy Matricom, you're going to be left in the dust.

Unlocking iPhone 3GS for overseas use
Hello everyone,
I have used Redsn0w to unlock and jailbreak many iphone 2G's and 3G's, but I am currently planning to unlock a 3GS. My 2G and 3G iPhones unlocked successfully and worked with AT&T MVNOs and T-Mobile, so I figured everything was fine. I went overseas (Turkey and Pakistan) and tried using a Ufone and Mobilink (Pakistani carriers) SIMs, but had no luck. The phone just showed one bar and no carrier name, nor did it say "no signal". I want to unlock my 3GS such that it can work with these carriers, as well as Telenor, but I am not sure if there is a separate procedure one must go through. Any advice? Information on mobile carriers in Pakistan and frequency bands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...rs_in_Pakistan |

The 3GS is old and you should be able to unlock it from AT&T as I did 2 weeks a go of course if you are US based and AT&T customer. I read you can also buy a new IMEI from Ebay and that will unlock it.

What option would I select if I want it to work for a carrier in Pakistan? Currently I have a US purchased 3GS ---------- Any way to do it myself, instead of paying for it to be unlocked? What advantages are there to the IMEI based vs software based? Does anyone know the particular reason why my current method did not work the last time I tried it? |

Wolves maul unbeaten North Mason 28-13
Published on Wed, Oct 21, 2009 by
Dan Kari, Konp Sportscaster
Read More
Sequim held onto the elusive pigskin just a few more times than the North Mason Bulldogs on Friday night, with the Wolves coming up with a key 28-13 Nisqually Olympic League football victory.
Sequim's win over previously undefeated North Mason (3-1 in league, 6-1 overall), combined with Eatonville's 17-12 victory over Fife, gives the Wolves (4-0 in league, 6-1 overall) sole possession of first place in the Nisqually Olympic League football standings.
A heavy downpour created a slick, soggy quagmire at Bulldog Stadium, with the teams combining for a dozen fumbles.
North Mason (3-1, 6-1) dropped the ball seven times, with six recovered by the Wolves.
Sequim fumbled five times, with four of the miscues grabbed by the Bulldogs.
Sequim built a 14-0 lead by halftime, saw it trimmed to 14-13 in the third quarter but pulled away with two fourth-quarter scores.
"I told our kids at halftime that they out-hit 'em, that's why we were winning,"
Sequim coach Erik Wiker said. "Then they out-hit us for a while."
Sequim quarterback Drew Rickerson completed 12-of-20 passes for 134 yards with one touchdown and an interception.
Travis Decker led the Wolves with 106 yards on 21 carries while Jeremie Oliver had 33 rushing yards and a touchdown. John Textor was the leading Wolves' receiver with five catches for 55 yards and a score.
Sloppy, start to finish
North Mason's Tim Winslow returned the opening kickoff to the Sequim 27, where a hit by the Wolves' Isaac Yamamoto knocked the football loose and Oliver recovered for Sequim.
Wolves senior running back Travis Decker swept over the right side for a 27-yard touchdown run on the game's first scrimmage play.
Freshman Mitch Koonz hit the PAT for a 7-0 Sequim advantage just 14 seconds into the contest.
Late in the second quarter, Sequim's Preston McFarlen recovered Bulldog quarterback Josh Lopez's fumble at the North Mason 28.
A play after, Rickerson found Isaac Yamamoto for a 31-yard gain to the Bulldog 1 yard line, Joey Hall found pay dirt from the T formation, increasing the Wolves' lead to 14-0 with Frank Catelli's PAT with 4:57 to go until intermission.
North Mason made it interesting in the third quarter after the Bulldogs intercepted Sequim's Rickerson at the Wolves' 30 in the opening minute of the second half.
Lopez scored five plays later on a 14-yard quarterback keeper, closing the gap to 14-7 after Kasey Bielec's PAT with 9:58 left in the third quarter.
On the next scrimmage play, the Bulldogs' Caleb Huxford recovered a Travis Decker fumble at the Sequim 32-yard-line. Proving turnabout is fair play, North Mason's Lopez fumbled it right back to the Wolves' Thomas Gallagher on the next snap.
The Sequim drive lasted three plays before Rickerson's fourth-down pass from punt formation was incomplete, turning the ball over on downs at the Sequim 40.
North Mason marched the 40 yards in nine plays, scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run by Tevin Williams, closing the gap to 14-13.
"You and everybody else in the whole stadium knew it was going their way," Wiker said. "The whole homecoming crowd was getting behind them and their kids believed."
However, the North Mason momentum came to a screeching halt when Bielec missed the potential tying PAT.
"I think missing the extra point deflated them a bit," Wiker said, "but (it) encouraged us because we were still ahead."
Moving into the final quarter, the Wolves took control by driving 65 yards in 11 plays, capped off by an 11-yard fade pass from Rickerson to Textor on third-and-goal.
Wiker gave credit for the touchdown play call to Textor. The senior wideout told coaches that Winslow, the Bulldog defensive back, was playing the receiver too far on the inside and that the corner route would be open.
"So I called the play (the fade) and told Drew (Rickerson) to take two steps back and chuck it to the pylon and he'd catch it," Wiker said. "And that's what happened. We were contemplating driving it down on the ground but we wanted to go for the jugular, be champs and go for the win."
Sequim settled the matter after another North Mason fumble with Jeremie Oliver galloping to the end zone on a 30-yard run, boosting the Wolves final advantage to 28-13.
Wiker credited Yamamoto, Sequim's fullback and linebacker, for an excellent game on both sides of the ball.
"He's a winner and that's why we have him leading our defense and he knows what's going on," Wiker said. "Also, getting him carrying the ball, you could see he really wanted to win. When kids see people like that, then they start to follow and they all want to do it."
Wiker gave kudos to Thomas Gallagher and his fellow linemen for their work against North Mason's John Fullington. Wiker also lauded Textor's interception of North Mason's Lopez, Clancy Catelli's big defense hits and Kahn Mills for recovering a pooch kick on special teams.
No cruising by Cruisers
Sequim gets a potentially dangerous Eatonville team at home this Friday.
The Cruisers (3-1 in league, 3-4 overall) are coming off a 17-12 upset at Fife.
Sequim narrowly escaped from Eatonville with a 25-14 win last year.
The Wolves topped Eatonville 21-17 in a state playoff play-in game in 2006 and lost three games to the Cruisers when the two teams were in an old version of the Nisqually League.
When asked if he feared a letdown after the big victory, Wiker said, "I certainly hope not. It dictates off our coaching staff and I don't think we're going to let down at all."
Play-by-play coverage of the homecoming game Friday night is be available at www.konp.com (click on the Sequim Wolves banner) beginning at 6:30 p.m.; the kickoff is at 7 p.m.

It's a fair question: Why would Christine George get back together with a man whose violent history, detailed in court records, she knew all too well?

In the spotlight or out, NFL players' wives have learned a lot about life. For some, that includes domestic violence. A group of 19 from the Off the Field NFL Players' Wives Association shared their life experiences with New Orleans teens in a pre-Super Bowl event to stop domestic violence, hosted by the New Orleans Family Justice Center.

Re: Budget cuts hit aid for victims of domestic violence, A-4, Jan. 4.
Days before Christmas, the state Department of Children and Family Services informed Crescent House that their contract had been cut by $76,000. That same day several families received services -- including a mom and her children who had been terrorized by their father with a loaded gun. These children were traumatized and scared, but after hours of care and quality services, they left with bicycles and toys from Santa and arrangements for immediate safety.
In Orleans Parish, Crescent House is the only agency providing lifesaving services to victims of domestic violence. This program provides a 24-hour, 365-days-a-year crisis line that often is the only linkage to safety for victims.

Farmers question farm bill restrictions
By Clay Masters
Next week the farm bill makes its way to the House. That's the big piece of legislation that sets food and agriculture policy for the next 5 years. How does this impact the average Iowan that isn't on the farm? Iowa State Agriculture economist Bruce Babcock says for the most part it doesn't… except for one thing.
"Are the taxpayer dollars being well spent subsidizing really well managed farms, very smart farmers and very wealthy farmers?" he said.
In the Senate bill that passed last month there are some new restrictions on wealthy farmers. And as Iowa Public Radio's Clay Masters reports Iowa farmers have conflicting views on the restrictions.

Pours a light, cloudy copper with over a finger of head that dissipated quickly. There is a great deal of sediment at teh bottom of teh glass. The nose has light malt notes, but little else. The flavor is pretty bland with only traces of malt; no discernible pumpkin flavor present. The finish is pleasantly dry. There is certainly nothing "great" about this pumpkin.

Deep apricot pour, practically no head or lacing,carbonation visible in the form of tiny bubbles.
Aroma is mildly spiced pumpkin and not much else.
Pumpkin flavor that is moderately spiced with nutmeg,ginger,vanilla,cinnamon and only a slight hop presence in the finish. Easy drinking and pleasant tasting.Less sharp than other pumpkin ales I have tried, but not quite a spiced up as others. Flavors do improve upon some warming.
Mouthfeel is on the thin side, well carbonated.Lacks a creaminess you expect in a good Pumpkin Ale.
I almost wish I had tried other pumpkin ales first before trying Williamsburg Alewerks pumpkin ale, because none have measured up. I don't have enough interest in the style to sample several others in search of one that really hits the mark.The Great Pumpkin is a solid effort and the second best Pumpkin Ale I have tried thus far. Worth trying and a solid brew.

WALTON, N.Y. – A new chapter has unfolded in the investigation into two deaths last week in Walton. State Troopers say a third set of human remains has been found in connection with the case.
The remains of Randy Sundstrom, 49, were found at a home on South River Road in Walton. The home belonged to his wife Debra, who was found dead last Wednesday following a fire on John Lockwood Road.
Investigators believe Randy Sundstrom may have been killed three years ago. The manner and cause of death has not been determined yet.
Police have ruled that Debra's death last week was a suicide. Although her body was found inside the charred home, autopsy results showed she died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Dominick Bosco, 51, was also found dead inside the burnt out house. The manner and cause of his death has also yet to be determined.
Troopers are now looking for help piecing together what happened. They're hoping to speak with anyone who may have more information about Randy Sundstrom. State police can be reached at (607) 561-7400.

Bulldogs reach the end of the roadNovember 17, 2012, 1:20 am by Wayne Craig
The Burnet Bulldogs were knocked out of the playoffs Friday night after being defeated by Stephenville, 56-27. The Yellowjackets were able to score on each of their first half possessions to take a big 49-6 lead at the break. Burnets Cameron Langley scored the Dawgs only first half points on a 1-yard run late in the second quarter. Austin Huff did a nice job with his kicking game in the first half with two well executed on-side kicks, both of which Burnet recovered. The Bulldogs received the opening kickoff of the third quarter and march down-field with some solid running by Langley and Jordan Barnard. Once again it was Langley who added the points with a 2-yard run for the score. After the touchdown the Bulldogs elected to send the kick-off deep and Stephenville returned it for a touchdown, which put them up 56-12 early in the third quarter. Langley scored two more times for the Bulldogs and the game eventually ended, 56-27. The Bulldogs finished the 2012 season with a 5-6 overall record. In other district news Brownwood was defeated by Glen Rose 14-10, and Gatesville beat Alvarado 48-28. Pick-up Wednesdays Burnet Bulletin for more game details. |

Tocqueville on America after 1840 is a remarkable volume that includes everything the French political thinker and statesman wrote on the United States or American-related themes after the publication of the second volume of Democracy in America in 1840 until his death in 1859. Most of the material has previously appeared in French in the authoritative version of his Oeuvres complètes, but the vast majority is available in English for the first time—even some of the hand written letters to Tocqueville from his American interlocutors were transcribed for this volume. It is thus a treasure trove for students of Tocqueville and American democracy.
It has been proposed, most recently by Harvey C. Mansfield and Delba Winthrop in the penetrating Introduction to their translation of Democracy in America, that Tocqueville wrote the greatest book on America and on democracy. That claim, with which I broadly concur, is of course open to dispute. As Aurelian Craiutu and Jeremy Jennings point out in their intelligent, well-informed Interpretive Essay, Tocqueville has had his share of French and American detractors, starting with the publication in 1835 of the first volume of Democracy in America and continuing to this day. Of course, not all criticisms are created equal. Some have accused him of getting his facts wrong, others of conflating things American and democratic. Some critics treat the book as a mere travelogue—a guide to Jacksonian America—or downplay its philosophical dimensions, and then criticize Tocqueville for his supposed mistakes. Others lament that he is increasingly treated in some circles—though not in any serious ones I know of—as an oracle whose insights are beyond reproach.
Whatever the merits of these criticisms, it is impossible to think seriously about America or democracy without studying Tocqueville. And thanks to the scholarly revolution of the last two generations, readers now have at their disposal the full range of his letters, speeches, and writings in authoritative editions in French and in English; new and competing English-language translations of Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution; at least two first-rate biographies—André Jardin's Alexis de Tocqueville (1988) and Hugh Brogan's Alexis de Tocqueville: A Life (2007); not to mention scores of commentaries on his work. What is so welcome about Tocqueville on America after 1840 is that it combines the requisite scholarly seriousness—its editors are among the top specialists on French political thought writing today—with a recognition that the study of Tocqueville finally belongs to all those who wish to come to terms with the intersection of American democracy and what Tocqueville himself did not hesitate to call "the cause of humanity"—the great cause of human liberty and dignity.
* * *
The editors' 39-page interpretive essay (accompanied by 14 small-print pages of notes) is an invaluable guide to Tocqueville's engagement with America over a 30-year period, from his nine-month trip with Gustave de Beaumont to the United States in 1831-32 until his renewed attentiveness to things American in the final decade of his life. Impressive as it is, the Interpretive Essay goes too far when it suggests that developments in the 1850s—the deterioration of American mores, a growing spirit of conquest and adventurism abroad, and most importantly and ominously, the spread of slavery in the territories—led Tocqueville "to the stark conclusion that America no longer held out hope for the friends of liberty around the world."
The editors contrast the "relatively optimistic image of American institutions" and the U.S. Constitution in the first volume of Democracy with the second volume's concerns about democratic individualism—the atomizing effects of democratic equality and the concomitant erosion of civic spirit and high human aspirations and achievement. Nevertheless, they argue that even the second volume "did not call into question the viability and maturity of American democracy." Craiutu and Jennings see a real difference between Tocqueville's forebodings in Democracy in America about the unfolding "democratic revolution" and the much more pessimistic evaluation he would have written if the portrait of America in his later correspondence had given rise to a third volume.
The editors accurately convey Tocqueville's disenchantment with the broad direction of American democracy in the 1850s. But the letters, speeches, and writings they have compiled do not show their author radically departing from his analysis in Democracy. To begin with, as the editors acknowledge, Tocqueville's growing pessimism during the 1850s had as much to do with the erosion of liberty in France during Napoleon III's quasi-despotic reign as it did with his renewed attention to America. What's more, Tocqueville was never quite as "optimistic" about democracy, even American democracy, as Craiutu and Jennings suggest. To be sure, he placed considerable hopes in the "great experiment of Self Government that is currently taking place in America," as he put it in a letter to Edward Vernon Childe in 1857. This experiment elevated democracy and was inseparable from its moral promise. Its failure, he told Childe, would "be the end of political liberty on earth." There is no evidence that Tocqueville ever despaired about America and her prospects. One can grant that a hypothetical third volume of Democracy might have gone further in emphasizing peril rather than promise, but the evils of democratic despotism, the possibility of unprecedented democratic forms of human degradation, and heartfelt warnings about the incompatibility of slavery with Christian morality and democratic self-government were already essential themes of the first two volumes.
* * *
Not only does Tocqueville on America after 1840 convey in multiple ways his rich and varied reflection on America and democracy, it also allows us to better appreciate the humanity of an authentically great man. Readers clearly hear the voice of a self-described "half Yankee" who valued his American friendships and sustained them over a long period of time. These friendships read like a who's who of the American political and intellectual scene, and provide a window on a world where heartfelt friendship coexisted with shared moral and intellectual concerns and a certain reserve about the expression of personal feelings. It was a world, now largely lost, where democracy and gentlemanliness coexisted.
Tocqueville's interlocutors included his American editor and anti-Masonic politician John Spencer, the lawyer and legal theorist Theodore Sedgwick, the international businessman N.W. Beckwith (who in his correspondence with Tocqueville articulated eloquent and humane democratic sentiments), and Harvard University president Jared Sparks, former editor of the North American Review. The Frenchman also exchanged respectful, substantive letters with the most distinguished political scientist of the day, Francis Lieber; the historian and diplomat George Bancroft; the anti-slavery Senator Charles Sumner, who was caned on the Senate floor by the pro-slavery congressman Preston Brooks; and Edward Everett, the scholar and Whig politician from Massachusetts who is best remembered today as the "other speaker" at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863.
In addition to exchanges about the great intellectual and political concerns of the day, we also see Tocqueville concerning himself with the practical sides of intellectual life: for example, arranging the American publication of The Old Regime and the Revolution, and in turn promoting the publication of his American friends abroad. From time to time he discretely inquired about his American railroad investments, which he feared (wrongly it turns out) had been wiped out by the terrible economic downturn of 1857. One of his most striking letters is to the young Edward Lee Childe, the son of Edward Vernon Childe and Mildred Childe, herself the younger sister of Robert E. Lee. She was a close friend of Tocqueville's and ran a celebrated salon in Paris. With a sympathetic and firm hand, Tocqueville wrote to the young Childe after his mother's death to encourage him to settle down and find a vocation for himself since self-respect and a sense of purpose were inseparable from a job well done. The Norman aristocrat knew the value of work and the dangers of aristocracy wrongly understood.
The writings in this volume do indeed reflect Tocqueville's growing disillusionment with the United States in the final years of his life. But it was not always so. During the contentious political and constitutional debates that followed the 1848 French revolution—debates that had as their stake the kind of republic France would become—Tocqueville appealed to America as the contemporary model of a moderate democracy built on the firm foundation of the separation of powers, the rule of law, and the sturdy mores of a self-governing people. Tocqueville in America after 1840 includes several key texts from this period that amply demonstrate his admiration for American constitutional democracy. In an impromptu campaign speech to a Popular Banquet at Cherbourg in Normandy on March 19, 1848, Tocqueville toasted "to the union of the two greatest republics that exist on the earth today." He added that "no other country in the world can furnish us [the French] with such useful examples and suggest such legitimate hopes." In his Preface to the 12th edition of Democracy in America published in the wake of the 1848 revolution, Tocqueville posed the "terrible question" whether the new French republic would be "a liberal republic or an oppressive republic, a republic that threatens the sacred rights of property and family or a republic that recognizes and consecrates them." The example of America provided inestimable help in recognizing those principles—"order, balance of powers, true liberty, sincere and deep respect for law"—that "are indispensable to all republics and must be common to all of them."
Tocqueville never repudiated these fundamental convictions. As he wrote in 1855, America's cause "remains the old good cause and it will...remain so for as long as I shall live." He did have concerns about the direction of American democracy and he articulated these in a series of remarkably candid letters to some of his most trusted American interlocutors. In one to Sedgwick in 1852, Tocqueville reiterates the concerns that he—"half an American citizen"—had about the "spirit of conquest, and even plunder, which has manifested itself among you for several years now." He adds—with reference to the threat of an ill-advised imperial adventure directed at Cuba—that this spirit of conquest "is not a sign of good health for a people that already has more territories than it can fill."
* * *
Today, certain liberal political theorists have made something of a cottage industry out of trying to discredit Tocqueville because of his alleged fondness for imperialism. It is true that he was not opposed in principle to imperialism—whether that of the British in India or the French in Algeria, though he could be extremely critical of colonial abuses in both countries. He was open to the "greatness" of a humane, civilizing empire, which could act as a corrective, however problematic, to bourgeois democracy's individualist, materialist preoccupations. But he was adamantly opposed to slavery and in 1839 sponsored a bill in the Chamber of Deputies for its abolition in the French colonies. Tocqueville's letters to his American friends express serious reservations about colonialism as an end in itself, and ought to give pause to those "post-colonial" theorists committed to dismissing him as a single-minded partisan of imperial domination. In a letter to Sparks written a week after the one to Sedgwick, Tocqueville argued that America "has nothing to fear but from itself, from the excesses of democracy, the spirit of adventure and conquest, the sentiment of and the excessive pride in its strength, and the passions of youth." He counsels "moderation," which he insists is needed in nations "no less than individuals." In other letters, he expressed his concern that Americans were in the process of becoming like Hobbes's puer robustus—"robust children" who lacked the moderation and maturity to exercise their power in a responsible way.
Tocqueville's letters from this period suggest a series of related concerns that together reinforced his anxiety about the future of American democracy. He worried, and in retrospect inordinately so, about the massive influx of German immigrants to the United States. In his view they lacked the habits of self-government necessary to sustain liberty. He was also profoundly worried about what he perceived as a decline in American mores. He was convinced that the "spirit of adventurism" was dramatically at odds with the sound, sturdy character and respect for law he had heralded in Democracy in America. He lamented, too, the absence of real statesmen on the American scene and wondered if the sober common sense of the American people was enough to avoid impending disaster.
Yet all of these concerns pale beside his greatest preoccupation during this period: the threat that the expansion of slavery posed to America's moral integrity, self-respect, and international prestige. For the most part, Tocqueville scholars (Craiutu and Jennings included) haven't noticed that their subject's positions on Union, liberty, abolitionism, and the expansion of slavery are in decisive respects the same as Abraham Lincoln's (though there is no evidence that the Frenchman ever commented on or even heard of him). Tocqueville articulates essentially Lincolnian judgments about these matters without ever appealing to—or even mentioning anywhere in his writings!—Lincoln's "glorious" Declaration of Independence. What accounts for this remarkable convergence between the sympathetic French commentator on America's unfolding tragedy and the statesman-poet who would so eloquently summon Americans back to the "better angels of our nature"?
For Tocqueville and Lincoln the heart of the matter was the same: the repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the extension of slavery to new states and territories entailed a betrayal of America's moral promise. Both men affirmed blacks' humanity and intrinsic dignity. Both used their considerable intellectual and rhetorical powers to attack the dangerous conflation of self-government with the right to own and trade in human beings. But principle needed to be guided by prudence. Tocqueville, like Lincoln, was opposed to the abolitionists "as far as that party wanted to bring forth the premature and dangerous abolition of slavery in those districts where this abominable institution has always existed." He considered the spread of this "horrible plague onto a large portion of the earth which has been free from it until now" to be nothing less than a "crime against mankind," one that was "both dreadful and unpardonable."
In another letter, Tocqueville expressed himself in similar terms: "the extension of this horrible evil beyond the already too extensive limits within which it is confined" was "one of the greatest crimes that human beings could commit against the general cause of humanity." It filled him—a 50—year old Frenchman who had "seen four or five revolutions"—with "powerful political passions." The same might be said of Lincoln, who came out of political retirement with his 1854 Peoria speech, assailing the Kansas-Nebraska Act in order to recall Americans to "our ancient faith." This faith did not demand slavery's immediate abolition but it did require vigorous opposition to its expansion, as well as a renewed commitment to the bedrock truth that "all men are created equal."
In the Peoria speech Lincoln appealed to a "moral sense" argument by criticizing the reduction of some human beings to the status of animals, the equivalent of "wild horses, wild buffaloes, or wild bears." He pointed out that Americans had outlawed the slave trade in 1820 on punishment of death; they did "not so treat the man who deals in corn, cattle, or tobacco." What Stephen A. Douglas liked to call "the sacred right of self-government" could not include, Lincoln argued, the right to "govern another man without that other's consent." To do so would violate the moral law as well as that "sheet anchor of American republicanism, Our Declaration of Independence." Of course, everything stood or fell with the recognition of blacks' humanity, a recognition that Lincoln argued was grudgingly acknowledged even by the partisans of slavery when they and their children shunned those who traded in slaves.
* * *
Tocqueville's own case against slavery closely resembled Lincoln's. In 1855, at the request of the abolitionist Maria Weston Chapman, he composed a short, eloquent, and moving "Testimony Against Slavery" that appeared the following year in the anti-slavery journal The Liberty Bell. As a "persevering enemy of despotism everywhere" and "an old and sincere friend of America," Tocqueville expressed his chagrin that "the freest people in the world is, at the present time, almost the only one among civilized and Christian nations which yet maintains personal servitude." He was "uneasy" at "seeing Slavery retard her progress, tarnish her glory, furnish arms to her detractors, compromise the future career of the Union." He went on to speak about being "moved at the spectacle of man's degradation by man." Without explicitly appealing to either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, he expressed his "hope" that he will "see the day when the law will grant equal civil liberty to all the inhabitants of the same empire, as God accords the freedom of the will, without distinction, to the dwellers upon earth." The call to "equal civil liberty" anticipated Lincoln's own noble call for "a new birth of freedom" in the Gettysburg address.
Tocqueville appealed to the decency, self-respect, and honor of a free, Christian, self-governing people. A free people cannot be a slave-owning people without compromising its soul or risking the loss of its liberty. Tocqueville's "silence" about the Declaration in both Democracy in America and in his later writings and letters about America has nothing to do with neglect for the affirmation of "common humanity" that undergirds it. As a Frenchman who had lived through the ravages of the French Revolution (and of subsequent French revolutions that appealed to its authority), Tocqueville had an understandable suspicion of "abstract" appeals to the "rights of man." In Europe, they had been used to undermine traditions and institutions that were necessary to the continuity of civilization and the moral foundations of representative government. In Democracy in America, with the French context ever in mind, Tocqueville emphasized the Americans' Puritan "point of departure." However "barbarous" some of their laws, the Puritans managed to successfully weave together the "spirit of liberty" and the "spirit of religion." And without losing sight of the great truth that "all men are created equal," Tocqueville emphasized the U.S. Constitution as a supreme act of moral and political prudence. It is a mistake to consult Tocqueville for an exhaustive account of the American Founding. Rather, we should turn to him for an unusually discerning account of American institutions and mores and for a penetrating description of the effects—all the effects—of modernity's unrelenting "democratic revolution." As this volume so richly demonstrates, the Norman aristocrat fully deserves his self-characterization as "half Yankee" and a "friend of America and liberty."
* * *
I highly recommend Tocqueville on America after 1840 to anyone who wants to understand how one of the best friends this nation ever had responded to the moral and political crisis that led to the Civil War. It shows that Tocqueville remained America's steadfast friend, even if an increasingly frustrated and disappointed one. Reflecting on the fascinating materials that Aurelian Craiutu and Jeremy Jennings have so ably assembled and translated for us, I am struck by the underlying continuity of Tocqueville's judgments on modern democracy, and especially American democracy. It is true that the emerging crisis of the 1850s led him to question the extent to which America could serve as a model for friends of liberty and human dignity everywhere. But the great French political thinker and statesman never lost his faith in "the old good cause," and 150 years after his death he continues to serve as a wise and instructive bridge between the Old World and the New.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department has donated $10K from a charity account to a local humane society in an effort to spay and neuter up to 250 animals at no charge to owners.
In order to qualify for the free pet surgeries, owners must exhibit financial need. The free services will be offered at the Society of Humane Friends of Georgia clinic on Wednesday and Friday mornings, officials said. The donation will provide between 200 and 250 surgeries and will include required annual shots, said Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais. The free services coincide with the jail's Second Chance program, which partners shelter dogs with inmates in an effort to train them and speed adoptions. For information on the clinic's location, or to find out how you may qualify, call the Society of Humane Friends at 770-962-4301. Rates of $60 for dogs and $40 for cats are available to pet owners who don't qualify for the free services.More like this story
