Pittsburg Steel Co. v. Baltimore Equitable Soc'yAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Pittsburg Steel Co. v. Baltimore Equitable Soc'y, 226 U.S. 455 (1913)
Pittsburg Steel Company v. Baltimore Equitable Society
No. 103
Argued December 18, 19, 1912
Decided January 6, 1913
A state statute changing a remedy for enforcing contract rights does not impair the contract if it gives a more efficacious remedy than existed before or does not impair it so materially as to affect the creditor's rights.
Where, as in this case, this Court cannot say that the state court wrong in holding the new remedy under a state statute to be more efficacious than the former remedy for enforcing claim of creditors
of a corporation against the stockholders, it will not declare the statute unconstitutional. And so held as to Chap. 305, Laws of Maryland of 1908.
One not hurt by a provision of an act cannot raise the question of its constitutionality on that ground.
113 Md. 77 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the constitutionality of a statute of Maryland providing remedy for enforcing the liability of stockholders of corporations, are stated in the opinion.
MR. JUSTICE HOLMES delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is an action brought by the plaintiff in error as a creditor of the South Baltimore Steel Car & Foundry Company to recover its claim from the defendant, a holder of stock in that company, the subscription for which had not been fully paid. The action was begun on February 26, 1908, and at that date it could be maintained. But in April, a statute was enacted (Act of 1908, c. 305
Laws 1908, p. 58) making the stockholder's liability assets of the corporation, saving the rights of creditors at the date of the act, but providing that the exclusive remedy for such rights, as against Maryland stockholders, should be by bill in equity on behalf of such creditors as might come in. This provision was made operative as of July 1, 1907, and was to cause all actions at law of this kind brought since then to abate, saving the right to become party to a bill. On this statute, the defendant moved to dismiss the suit. The motion was granted, and the judgment was affirmed by the Court of Appeals, which sustained the constitutionality of the act as so applied. 113 Md. 77.
Of course, the objection is that the law impairs the obligation of the plaintiff's contract. If the stockholder's liability were purely local, and no more than matter of remedy for the collection of the principal debt, still this objection would have to be considered. See Hawthorne v. Calef, 2 Wall. 10; Brown v. Eastern Slate Co., 134 Mass. 590, 592. But the case was argued on the footing of a contract between the creditor and the stockholder, and, as the statute seems to assume that the stockholder's liability may follow him into other jurisdictions and the Court of Appeals affirmed that a contract between the parties is presumed, we in turn assume that view to be correct. Bernheimer v. Converse,206 U. S. 516, 206 U. S. 529. In either view, the question put in the form most favorable for the plaintiff is the same -- whether the remedy against the defendant is impaired so materially as to affect the plaintiff's rights. McGahey v. Virginia,135 U. S. 662, 135 U. S. 693.
The plaintiff's supposed contract was subject to peculiar infirmities. His right was shared equally by all other creditors of the corporation, and not only might some other creditor by diligence have got in ahead of the plaintiff and have exhausted the fund for which the defendant could be held, but the right depended on the stockholder's
will. As was observed by Judge Rose, following the Maryland cases, in Republic Iron & Steel Co. v. Carlton, 189 F. 126, 137, the statute does no more than the stockholder was free to do before. He could have paid the corporation or a receiver or other creditors. The question whether the remedy on this contract was impaired materially is affected not only by the precarious character of the plaintiff's right, but by consideration of fact -- of what the remedy amounted to in practice. It is admitted that bringing the action gave the plaintiff no lien, as it seems mistakenly to have been assumed to do in Myers v. Knickerbocker Trust Co., 139 F. 111, 116. The Court of Appeals states that the remedy has been found in practice an uncertain one, less efficacious than that which is substituted. There is nothing to contradict their statement as to what experience has taught. With that fact before us and also the absolute dependence of the creditor upon the will of the stockholder, we cannot go into nice speculation as to the probable result of this particular case, or say that the decision was wrong. The power of the state to make similar changes of remedy is asserted in more general terms than we have employed, in Fourth National Bank v. Francklyn,120 U. S. 747, 120 U. S. 755. See also Henley v. Myers,215 U. S. 373, 215 U. S. 385.
A further objection is based upon the period of limitation established by the act. But, as it does not appear that the plaintiff was hurt by it, this objection is not open. Darnell v. Indiana, ante, p. 226 U. S. 390.
Judgment affirmed.

The Illinois State Board of Education is making it tougher for students to be considered proficient on state tests. The board voted to raise the cut-off score for the Illinois Standard Achievement Tests in English, language arts, and math. These changes affect elementary and middle school students. The State Superintendent of Education says this will provide more accurate information on how students are doing.
The cut off scores are not only the only thing changing. The test itself is also under going a make over. The state is switching to the "common core standards." This year 20 percent of the test will have common core questions, and next year 40 percent of the questions will be in that format. The common core standards narrow the focus of what students need to learn, but ask more out of them at a younger age.
"One of the concepts of the new standards is an increase in rigor," said Dr. Dave Moyer, Superintendent of Moline Schools.
Moyer says in the past the ISAT questions covered a very broad range and were mostly multiple choice. However, with the new common core standards the questions will be a little bit more comprehensive.
"They are designed to be computer based and they are designed to involve writing, designed to involve high level thinking skills, application collaboration and other things like that."
Moyer says the hope is the new standards will better prep students for college and careers. However, he and other educators say it will be an adjustment.
"I think what you are going to see in the coming years or at least the next couple of years, scores that are not as high as they would traditionally be," said Andy Richmond, Superintendent for Eagle Ridge School in Silvis.
Richmond says because the tests and cut off scores will be more difficult, many students who used to do well, may see their scores drop. However, he says parents should not be alarmed.
"Its going to take time for the teachers to adjust to the new standards, but I know we have a strong enough staff to get that done."
Teachers at Eagle Ridge have already started their training Moyer says he will be meeting with Moline staff within the next few weeks to formulate a plan.

STEPHENS CO., Okla_ An early
morning drug bust in Stephens
County landed more than
two dozen suspected drug dealers behind bars.
The District Attorney's
Drug Task Force teamed up with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and several
other agencies this morning after a months-long investigation. They focused
this bust on suspects known for selling drugs, including prescription pills.
75 officials
were briefed at 5:00AM before hitting the streets in Stephens County.
"It's a
problem that we deal with just like any other community," District Attorney
Jason Hicks said. "We do this from time to time."
The District Attorney's
Drug Task Force and the OBN were joined by the Stephens County Sheriff's Office
and police departments from Duncan, Comanche and Marlow all before sunrise.
Hicks said the
street dealers were the biggest target.
"If we
have a distribution cycle, we can take some of the people out of that
distribution cycle and hopefully have an influence on the flow of narcotics
inside the county," Hicks said. "It wasn't concentrated on one particular area,
and it wasn't concentrated on one particular drug."
One by one, the
suspects were taken to the Criminal Justice Complex in Duncan. It wasn't just one city in their
crosshairs, though.
"We've had
people who were arrested in Duncan,"
Hicks said. "We've had people who were arrested in Comanche and Marlow."
In all, 25 Stephens County residents were taken into
custody. Hicks said he hopes Friday's bust will send a message to drug dealers
still out there.
"We make
sure they understand you're going to get caught at some point, and when you do,
we're going to make sure you're incarcerated for it," Hicks said. "It's
extremely important to me and to the drug task force to insure that we take
those people off the street, so that we can at least break that portion of the
The operation led officials to a few extra suspects
on active warrants, so Hicks said the total arrest number could be close to 30.

We can all breathe easy now, per MMA Weekly:
Cox says Sylvia won't retire.
"He's an MMA fighter, that's what he does for a living," said the big man's manager. "He's got to keep fighting - he's too young to quit."
Cox says he learned plenty from his short involvement with M-1 Global, his first foray into national promotion. The company made big promises, many contrary to Cox's business instincts, and eventually fractured before putting on an event. The plan for Adrenaline is to stay regional and build slowly.
"We're a company," he said. "We can lose on one, and we make it up on the next one. When you're doing 60 shows a year, all that really counts is the bottom line at the end of the year.
"I'm not trying to do anything with Adrenaline, other than try to find a place that I can run a show that's profitable."
Cox does have a point that there is a vital niche to be filled by promotions like Adrenaline. Fighters on the downswing of their career like Jeremy Horn need a place to fight. Fighters on the upswing of their career like
breakout heavyweight Ray Mercer Mike Russow need a place where they can grow.
Cox has a long and largely successful track record as an MMA manager and promoter. His Extreme Combat promotion put midwest MMA on the map.
Here's hoping he can do better next time.

SAMANTHA GROSS,Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg put a planned bill signing on hold Wednesday after hearing from critics who object to legislation that would strengthen penalties against cabbies who knowingly work with sex traffickers.
After opponents decried the measure at a public hearing, Bloomberg said he'd take more time to consider it and would decide by Friday.
The bill, already approved by the City Council, would impose a $10,000 fine on drivers who are convicted of a felony related to sex trafficking. The cabbies would also lose their Taxi and Limousine Commission licenses. The measure targets drivers who keep women captive in their cars and profit from prostitution rings.
But some opponents are worried the bill could make cabbies afraid to pick up passengers who are provocatively dressed late at night — leaving them with no choice but to walk alone on deserted streets. Iman Hajismaiel, general manager of Club Phuket in Upper Manhattan, says many women come to her club to dance and have fun but shouldn't be placed in danger, regardless of what they choose to wear.
"That's their style. Who are we to judge? And who is the cabbie to judge, at 5 a.m., whether this is a prostitute or not?" she said.
But City Council Transportation Committee Chairman James Vacca says the bill — which would require that all taxi drivers watch a training video to help them identify and help victims — forbids cabbies from discriminating against riders based on their appearance.
"The bill is very specific. This took months of negotiation," he said. "We did not want anyone singled out, and it does not single anyone out based on what they look like."
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn criticized the mayor's decision to delay. "If he fails to sign this bill, it will be more than a misguided step; it will be an unconscionable misstep," she said in a statement.
On Friday, Bloomberg said in his weekly appearance on WOR radio that he wasn't sure if the bill was a good idea.
"If I were a young lady and I dressed in a sporty way ... and there's nothing wrong with that — maybe it's not appropriate to go to the workplace, but at night sometimes sure, why not — I would not want somebody thinking that I'm a prostitute," he said.
It's not the first time that the mayor has postponed a bill signing at the last minute. In one instance, he reversed course at the last minute on a measure to limit the pedicab industry. He ultimately vetoed that bill, but his decision was overturned by the City Council.

When you're hot, you're hot and there has been no other new show on television so far this year that has earned quite the same amount of attention as Lena Dunham's "Girls." With the first three episodes premiering at SXSW to a huge response, "Girls" hit HBO in full force in April, averaging 3.8 million viewers over that first batch of shows, leading to a quick renewal by the network. And Dunham didn't waste a single moment, going in front of cameras this summer to shoot the second season, and in less than a year, we'll have ten new episodes to enjoy.
HBO has announced that season two of the Emmy nominated program will bow in January 2013, and we can't wait. Dunham's show is a sharp, funny and well observed look at how young women (and hell, people in general) stumble through love, life and work in their early 20s. And there are lots of questions to answer next season. Will Hannah and Marnie be friends again? Will Jessa still be married? Will Shoshanna and Ray last? Is Charlie really out of the picture? Will Adam forgive Hannah? Lots to follow up on, and we're eager to see how Dunham navigates the waters in a new season, and what changes she'll make (or won't) to the narrative and characters.
Meanwhile, this writer never watched "Enlightened" with Laura Dern and doesn't really know anyone who did, but HBO has faith and has re-upped it with a January bow also set. Mike White's show follows an ambitious executive at a global conglomerate, who returns to her fractured life after a humiliating public breakdown, determined to lead a more enlightened existence, but her new game plan has unintended repercussions. Thoughts on this show? Should we catch up with it? Let us know below.
Michael | August 1, 2012 9:20 PM
I love Enlightened. There's nothing quite like it on tv, and Dern's performance is spectacular.
Duncan | August 1, 2012 8:20 PM
"Enlightened" is definitely worth catching up on, though its effective is cumulative, especially over the first four or five episodes. The second half builds on those first few half-hours very effectively, and while the season finale is a little disappointing in comparison to what's come before (especially in regards to the sudden shift we see in Luke Wilson's character), the second-to-last episode is very moving, and features one particularly outstanding sequence in a grocery store between two elderly women. It almost certainly works best if you've seen at least a few episodes previous to it, but its rigid focus on a supporting character makes me wonder what your thoughts would be if you were to see it cold. It's called "Consider Helen", and as people have mentioned, it's directed by "Junebug"'s Phil Morrison.
Eoin Daly | August 1, 2012 7:13 PM
Are you all serious Girls is in my top 5 comedies on TV. Enlightened is an awful show.
Anton Jacoves | August 1, 2012 7:07 PM
ENLIGHTENED is one of the best shows on TV. I was wondering why you glossed over it in your top ten. There's a reason HBO didn't give it the axe like BORED TO DEATH, HUNG, and HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA (who were all quality programs at one point or another but none achieved sustained greatness) with its horrible numbers. The episode directed by JUNEBUG director Phil Morrison is one of the top five episodes of television this young decade - right up there with "The Suitcase" and "Fly". Kudos to HBO for giving this great show such a strong lead-in.
Sean | August 1, 2012 6:29 PM
Enlightened is way better than Girls. Girls is a decent show but I don't really see it the same way as you guys (and gals) see it on the playlist; it's a tad overrated.
Enlightened though is fantastic. The episodes Demme directed were top notch and the Phil Morrison ep was the highlight of the show (or of any show for that matter).
Ben | August 1, 2012 5:54 PM
Yes, you need to catch up with ENLIGHTENED-- itt's an overlooked gem on HBO. In addition to Dern's greatness and Mike White's stellar writing, Nicole Holofcener and Jonathan Demme directed multiple episodes and they're some of the most perfectly shot half hours on teevee.
remy | August 1, 2012 5:53 PM
enlightened isn't like anything else on tv. it's a brilliant dramedy with a kind heart.

LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 11: Professional skiier Lindsay Vonn (L) and NFL player Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins speak onstage during the 2012 ESPY Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on July 11, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III took home his first official award as a professional at the ESPYs Wednesday. Perhaps ironically, the award was for a collegiate performance.
RGIII won the award for "Best Male College Athlete." He was also nominated for "Best Breakthrough Athlete," but came up short in his bid for a second ESPY; New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin received that distinction.
Even though Griffin didn't win two ESPYs, according to a tweet of his, he sorta did:
@bubbawatson @espys I feel like I won 2 ESPYs. Best Male College Athlete and Coolest Pic with Bubba
— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) July 12, 2012
The "Coolest Pic" with PGA golfer and Masters champion Bubba Watson is below:

Meanwhile, RGIII's fellow rookie quarterback, Kirk Cousins, did not win an award Wednesday, but was nominated for "Best Play" for his Hail Mary against Wisconsin last October:
RGIII's ESPY is sure to be one of many awards that he will accrue over the course of his career. At least for now, the Heisman has company.

All offseason we talk about the 49ers; we talk about coaches, players, stats, free agents, next years schedule, last years performances, etc. From all this talk, speculation and stat driven hypotheses we all as individual fans begin to picture the 2010 season in our heads. Best case season, worst case season, playoffs hopes.
My goal with this post is to get a feel for the average amount of wins the NinersNation reader thinks the 49ers will have in 2010.
After the jump I will list out the schedule, my (short, since I'm writing this during my lunch break) prediction for each game, my projected 2010 final record, and finally my best and worst case scenarios for the 2010 season.
Week 1: @ Seattle Seahawks - WIN
- Yes, Quest Field is loud (louder than any other place I've ever seen a sports event) and yes the Hawks seem to be slowly figuring out that whole wining games thing again. Despite this, I see the Niners coming out of Seattle with a win in Week 1. Taylor Mays will play (even if only on special teams) like he has something to prove to Carroll, and Mays in that mode should scare anyone. Defense will shut down the lackluster Hawks offense.
Week 2: New Orleans Saints (MNF) - LOSS
- Some (if not a majority) of people here on NinersNation see the 49ers wining this game, I can't buy into it. The Saints defense will struggle containing the 49ers offense, however the 49ers somewhat lacking secondary will have an even tougher time trying to stop the Brees run offensive machine that is the Saints. It will be a close, exciting MNF game, unfortunately I see the Niners coming of this game with their first loss.
Week 3: @ Kansas City Chiefs - WIN
- Week 17 last year the Chiefs spoiled the Broncos season by running them over with Jamaal Charles, the 49ers have to good a run defense to let this happen. The Niners offense, backed up by a stellar defense, propels the Niners to win number two.
Week 4: @ Atlanta Falcons - WIN
- The 49ers were embarrassed by the Falcons last year; revenge is a strong motivator in sports, especially football, and the 49ers know this. This team will not take it lying down like last year, but will gut out a win. Another great, close game, this time with the Niners winning.
Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles - WIN
- The 49ers being at home, in addition to my predicted struggles for Kolb in Philly will combine to get the Niners their first home win.
Week 6: Oakland Raiders - WIN
- Not much needs to be said here. Like the Seahawks, it looks as if the Raiders may be on a slow upswing; the progress will not be enough this early in the rebuilding process. 49ers get a decidedly onesided win in The Stick.
Week 7: @ Carolina Panthers - LOSS
- Gotta admit, haven't heard a lot out of Panther territory this offseason. I feel this may be a team the 49ers underestimate, which is dangerous in this sport. 49ers lose in Carolina, snap a 4-game win streak. Sad face.
Week 8: Denver Broncos - WIN
- Technically a home game, in London (Mr. York says: "You're welcome LondonNiner.") The large travel distance and time zone change will make this game tougher than it needs to be, nonetheless, Niners come out with the win over a struggling Broncos team.
Week 9: BYE
- How weird would it be if the NFL decided to spell this week the "Bi Week"...
Week 10: St. Louis Rams - WIN
- Yay a Rams game! 49ers unexpectedly struggle, but come away with the win.
Week 11: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - WIN
- Third straight win for the 49ers (boy they sure seem to be legit this year) and third straight at home. Again there is not a whole lot to say, the 49ers are clearly the better team on paper, and apparently on the field too.
Week 12: @ Arizona Cardinals (MNF) - LOSS
- BOO! Win streak snapped on the road in Arizona on MNF. Being in the Cardinals house on Monday Night is tough, and it takes its toll on the Niners. A close game once again, but Leinart isn't as bad as we thought (darn him) and the Cards d-line manages to stop a last minute fourth quarter drive by the Niners.
Week 13: @ Green Bay Packers - LOSS
- Well it's our first losing streak of the season. Sucks doesn't it? This game turns into a real struggle for the 49ers defense, trying to keep up with not only the arm of Aaron Rodgers, but the legs too.
Week 14: Seattle Seahawks - WIN
- A still struggling Seahawks team battling injuries (sounds familir doesn't it?) come into The Stick and takes the loss. No massive rush TDs from Gore this time, but two impressive TD grabs from Crabtree helps the Niners win this one (my first statistic prediction!)
Week 15: @ San Diego Chargers - LOSS
- I see a pattern emerging here, the 49ers are still struggling against good passing offenses. Rivers and Jackson (yes I'm assuming he plays) thrive in this game and help the Chargers win this game.
Week 16: @ St. Louis Rams - WIN
- Unlike week 10, they Niners do not struggle against the Rams. Defense puts on a show in their best effort of the season (not tough to do against the Rams) and the offense shows off its weapons to the unhappy St. Louis crowd. Sad face for Rams fans.
Week 17: Arizona Cardinals - WIN
- Now we have you right where we want you! At home. Second year in a row, the 49ers go 5-1 in the division by beating the Cardinals week 17.
So there you have it! My predicted 2010 season has the 49ers going 11-5 and into the playoffs. Happy face.
I said I would be posting my best/worse case scenarios down here as well. Let my above breakdown serve as my best case scenario for 2010, while the following short (I promise!) paragraph will be my worst case scenario.
Same as best case, only with added losses to the Seahawks week 1, the Falcons week 4, the Eagles week 5, and the Broncos week 8. Season ends with the 49ers 6-10, and clearly not in the playoffs.
So, NinersNation, what do you think? Agree with me? Disagree with me? Think I'm brilliant? Or think I'm totally insane? Let me know what you think in the comments, and please vote on the poll!

Country Fun: The Old Days
Posted by
Staff Writer
Wednesday, August 8. 2012

Nowadays it is not uncommon for each member of the family down on the farm to have his or her own transportation by age sixteen. Televisions and entertainment centers have become part of the furniture of every family farm home. Nothing is denied in the way of recreation. If your car battery is dead, or there is nothing interesting on TV, or if you don't have the latest CD or DVD by your favorite star, you can call your friends on your cell phone or get together with them on the Facebook chat line.
In the old days, country folk were a breed apart. Country living was no picnic, but don't kid yourself, country people had fun. Party time down on the farm included listening to the radio (if you had one), peanut boilings, candy pullings, square dances, and much more. Someone was always having a party. Having no other transportation, young people would often walk several miles to a party. If someone in the community had a truck or a car he could quickly load it to capacity with party goers.
If you were one of the few who possessed a radio, you were guaranteed a lot of friends especially on Saturday night. When I was young, the favorite attractions on the radio at our house were the Grand Ole Opry and speeches by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Either event was an occasion for a fun get-together.
Some were fortunate enough to own a record player. Still in our family is an antique graphaphone. The wind-up, spring operated record player was the "stereo" of the day. Rarely heard now, the popular tunes of that day resounded in the night to thrill party goers. Somebody might even get up and dance a little jig while the adults raised the time-honored question, "What's the younger generation coming to"?
Today, some country churches are hard pressed for someone to play the piano. In the old days, there were musicians aplenty. The home was a favorite gathering place for music lovers. There were pianists, organists, guitarists, fiddle players (uptown they call them violinists), harmonica blowers, and a variety of others. It was not uncommon for a community to have at least one person who could teach music. In almost every home there was at least one musical instrument. The first thing I remember my brother scolding me about was his guitar. He caught me strumming on it without his permission.
Near us lived the Dee Kight family. They were about as good musicians as they come. A big family, they provided music and entertainment for parties and they were in great demand. My sister remembers that every member of the family either sang or played at least one musical instrument. Yodeling seems to be a lost art these days, but in those days anyone who could yodel was high on the popularity list at any party.
One of the best yodelers I have ever heard (and I've been to Switzerland where yodeling was invented) was a down-home country boy by the name of J.T. O'Neal. J. T. walked almost everywhere he went and yodeled all the time. You could hear him yodeling in the woods two miles away. If J. T. had tried out for the Grand Ole Opry, he would have become famous.
Peanut boilings were favorite attractions for young and old alike. They were often so well attended that it took a big wash pot full of peanuts to feed the crowd. The peanut boiling was an outdoor party, usually at night. The get-together provided incentives to the young to contrive games to pair couples up. It was permissible to hold hands and go for a stroll in the moonlight, provided you didn't stroll too far and stay too long.
Almost any occasion that brought people together could be construed as an excuse for a shindig. Cane grinding time was a favorite time for candy pullings. Quilting parties were among the top ten on the social hit parade. It took all hands and the cook to shell enough peanuts for spring planting. The "peanut shellings" often led to a frolic.
Well, country folks have gone uptown now and gone are the days when country fun had a different twist from city fun. But the next time that you are out for a drive in the country and see an old house deserted and falling down, stop, walk quietly up to it and listen intently for a few minutes. You may hear the sound of music and laughter. You may even hear Uncle Dave Macon from the Grand Ole Opry, or the Ole Blue Yodeler, or President Roosevelt doing a fireside chat on an old battery-powered Philco radio. Don't tell anyone though; it may be a private party.

Hugo Against the 'Owners of the Universe'
Oct 18th, 2006 by Donagh
The New York Times has been getting a bit of stick of late. For the last couple of years the US's paper of record has admitted to reporting government spin regarding the Invasion of Iraq as fact, publishing reports by journalists who simply cobbled them together from other papers and most recently, misquoting Hugo Chavez as saying that he regretted that he didn't get to meet the author of Hegemony and Survival, Noam Chomsky, before he died.
In the case of the latter, it turns out that the New York Times hadn't checked the translation. What the Venezuelan President had said was that he regretted not meeting the liberal economist JK Galbraith before he died (brought to our attention by the Angry Arab via Most Sincerely Folks).
In fact, when it comes to reporting on Hugo any semblance of objectivity goes out the window.
Today they tell us that the 'fiery populist leader of Venezuela' has suffered a setback in his efforts to gain Latin America's open seat on the Security Council next year.
Neither country obtained the necessary 125 votes — two-thirds of those voting — to win the seat outright, but Guatemala ended the day with a lead of 110 to 77.
According to the NYT, Chavez has 'turned the contest into a focus of his campaign against Washington, and traveled widely and spent his country's oil largess liberally to promote its candidacy'.
The United States, however, is supporting Guatemala, a small impoverished nation that relies on foreign aid from the US. While the NYT makes the point that Hugo is spending Venezuela's oil revenue promoting their bid there is no mention of the fact that the US uses foreign aid to countries that are up for a two year term on the open Security Council seat to maintain greater influence over Security Council decisions.
Back at the end of August it was reported that a paper was about to be published which showed that the levels of US aid provided to countries that join the Security Council for the two year stint increases during their tenure and then falls off again once they leave. In effect, these temporary members extract a rent for their vote.
The paper is called: "How Much Is a Seat on the Security Council Worth? Foreign Aid and Bribery at the United Nations†and was published in the Journal of Political Economy, where Stephen D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics, is an editor.
According to the abstract:
A country's U.S. aid increases by 59 percent and its U.N. aid by 8 percent when it rotates onto the council. This effect increases during years in which key diplomatic events take place (when members' votes should be especially valuable) and the timing of the effect closely tracks a country's election to, and exit from, the council.
The NYT's lack of sympathy for the Latin 'fiery' devil chaser could be down to his declared attempt to pit his country's resources against the Masters of the Universe.
Francisco Arias Cárdenas, Venezuela's ambassador, said his country was not battling Guatemala, which he called "a brother country,†but "fighting against the owners of the universe.â€
At least I presume that's what Cárdenas said, it could be a misquote.

Like the new look. I reckon it's time for me to give the old website a lick of coloured pixels.
Yes, you're right. Latin American strongman Hugo Chavez, whose opponents are said to be concerned at what they see as his increasingly authoritarian stance, is portrayed rather rigidly in august organs such as the NYT.
Any time I listen to him speak, I find it very difficult to reconcile what I hear with the 'fiery'/'fierce'/'firebrand' descriptions that get bandied about. I actually find him very funny and engaging.

Nebraska takes on a 3rd UW in as many games on Oct 1st. Can they complete the UW trifecta? My opinion after the jump.
The Huskers have been playing to their competition, plain and simple, it's a heartburn inducing fact for Husker fans around the world. I think that the couple wrinkles Coach Beck threw out while the Huskers finished shellacking the Pokes were just scratching the surface. We know Rex Burkhead (who has commonly been referred to as Burkmode once on the field by blogging fans) is as capable at QB as Taylor Martinez, they both bring their own skill to the position, Burkhead will run through you along with the three guys behind you and Martinez will run around you and leave you gasping for air.
When they step out on the field at Camp Randall Wisconsin will have to decide who they are going to try and contain and it's just a matter of time before one or the other or both break off a huge play and leaves the Badgers scratching their heads.
I think the Cornhuskers are a lot better then they look, in my 26 years of Husker life every team I have seen play Nebraska has brought their "A" game. Easiest way to make my point, October 1, 1994 the Wyoming Cowboys came to Lincoln, Nebraska and the resulting score was 42 - 32 Nebraska on their way to a National Title.
If the Huskers take their "A" game in to Camp Randall I expect the completion of the UW Trifecta!

I Heart My Girls
I needed a small break from all of the Hope Valley blocks I've been making. However, finding time to sew and quilt is escaping me more and more. I haven't talked about it here, but I spend most days working here. I know! How lucky am I!? Gone is my life of large blocks of time for fabric play, but also less time with these two monkeys -
So, when I do find myself with a bit of time ( at 10 o'clock p.m. or so…) I make these two soft things for their red, pink and aqua room. Lately, pillows and pillowcases. Pictured above are pillows that will eventually match a quilt that will be made thanks to my girls over at the snip.sew.send quilting bee. I've been hoarding saving up all sorts of girly fabrics such as the ones pictured above, namely some great Japanese fabrics like the kerchief girl, Kei polka dots and the one on the right, a sweet print from Megumi Sakakibara. These fabrics are mixed in with a few Nicey Jane prints from Heather Bailey and some Kona cotton solids.
I am loving the giant ric rac lately and used it here to edge the pillows. Pay no attention to the unmade bed!
Also adorning the girls' room and adding to the overall scheme of things is this little gem -
Isn't it a beauty? I was the lucky recipient of this curvalicious mini quilt from Sam who got my name for the fabulous DQS8 flickr swap. She had taken inspiration from Jean Wells and learned curved piecing. It translates beautifully here and I am so excited to add it to the girls' room. Thank you Sam! We love it!
And lastly, I found this sheet of wrapping paper at our local bookshop. I squealed quietly to myself while I snapped it up and brought it home. I found a spare Ikea frame hanging around and in no time I had yet one more bit of red, pink and aqua…and it even looks like Japanese fabric.
And if that weren't enough, I was inspired by the ever-creative and prolific Ashley from Film in the Fridge and her Pretty Quick Pillowcase Tutorial. I wanted to make pillowcases for the girls out of some Heather Ross cottons because they are sooo incredibly soft. With this tutorial, I had these made from cutting to on their bed in about an hour.
For a quilter, to have something made from start to finish in one sitting is incredibly satisfying. I absolutely loved making all of these pillows and I'm planning more in the future.
Coincidence? Or, Divine Intervention…
So, it all started out innocently enough. I was excited! I made the big executive decision to merge the girls' things into one room. Here's why: they sleep together anyway and they hardly use the other as a playroom.
I wickedly and swiftly had my own sewing room. I cannot show you pictures yet because it is still quite messy and I wouldn't want to confuse you all with imperfection. (HA!) So, after the machine had been moved in, and I figured out storage, and the like, it came time to decorate a bit. I'd had this cheater print from Denyse Schmidt for awhile and didn't have any grand plans for it and so this is what has become of it. I cut three squares and stretched them over a canvas frame from the art supply store. I love them.
So, I had a fair amount left over. I thought that the nice home dec weight of the canvas, and those lovely, wacky squares would turn into a nice bag or tote. So, I started to make one and here's what we have so far….
I'm pretty excited about making a bag out of this. I'm using Peltex fusible stabilizer so it will be extra boxy and have firm sides, which I like. And, what's the big deal about making a bag out of this? Well, it's not. Except, a few mornings later, I opened up my Denyse Schmidt newsletter email to find this.
Hmmm. Interesting. County Fair fabrics are in the air I suppose. Well, they were. Literally.
Fastforward a few days and what comes in the mail for me? My DQS7 quilt from my partner. It was her first step into the quilting world and I think she made a great, sweet quilt. Uh…notice a theme here?
And not only did she make this, but she sent leftover stash…
So there you have it. Do things really happen in threes? I say yes.
WIP Wednesday
Flea Market Fancy – A Decision Has Been Made!
After looking at many different squares, blocks, triangles, hexagons (half or otherwise) snowballs and the like, I started cutting into the blue flea market fancy.
Much has been written and blogged over this colorway of this particular line of fabric by me and many others. I've traded and swapped for it and even called little shops all over the country in search of it. Basically, it's called hoarding. This past week, I swapped for another half yard, plus a fat quarter of the creme de la creme blue bouquet and I said to myself that the time had come. I want to enjoy the prints, not have them on my fabric shelf, as pretty as they are sitting there. So, without any further ado…here it is.
The blocks are 6″ and there are only four fabrics that I've settled on. The other three are kona cotton in bleached white, the pinky-red coordinating barbells, and Amy Butler's full moon dots.
It's all about the fabric….
A Wee Project
This was a quick and sweet project for my swap partner who shall remain nameless until she receives it in the mail. I wanted to make a graphic quilt that used bold color. I have triangles on my mind lately and what better use of quarter sqare triangles than for a tiny quilt like this? It measres 13×18 and I'm very happy to send this out in the mail all wrapped up in a hand-embellished tea towel. Every tea towel should have pom poms. Riight??
If you're interested in joining in on all the fun, there's a doll quilt swap group at flickr. Next round will most likely be after the holidays, but why not join now and see all the lovely quilts being shipped and swapped all over the world!?
May Giveaway Day! Sew Mama Sew!!
Comments are now closed. The winner of the fat quarters and the book is #359 (picked by the random integer generator) So, Kelly Jo of knit. Frog. Repeat – you are the winner!
It's pracitally a holiday. Hundreds of blogs are participating in the fabulous Sew Mama Sew givewaway day and I'm in on the action too. Up for grabs are three fat quarters from one of my favorite new lines, Wonderland as well as the lovely book Stitched In Time by Alicia Paulson of Posie Gets Cozy.
The giveaway is open until the 31st, lots of time to enter. It couldn't be easier….leave me a comment and I'll draw a winner at random. Don't rush off to enter somewhere else though. – tell me what you're working on, what fabric you just bought or your favorite quilt pattern. Something. A friendly hello will do too ;-) Good luck to everyone, and if this is your first visit here…welcome.
A Wee Quilt
Oh, I couldn't really resist the chance to join in, it's such a fun group of talented crafters. So…I joined. I'm in a swap! Lookie over there on the right at the DQS6 button. It's the 6th round of a doll quilt swap.
After looking at my swap partner's blog, and reading about what fabrics she loves, I dove into my 'Darla' stash and started in on my favorite part. I quickly made a pillow out of ticking and then quickly followed with a pillowcase. While I was making these little lovlies, I was thinking about what design I should make for the doll quilt. I kept thinking of triangles. I hadn't attempted triangles until now and I knew this was just the project to do them. Then, I remembered a recent purchase from my LQS, bought on impulse because someone in line in front of me was going on and on about them and how they make triangles so accurately, quickly and easily. Sign me up! They're called 'Thangles'. Strips of printed half square triangles let you make 20 or so squares in about 10 minutes. So, as I was doing my second round of Thangles squares, I thought I'd make a little tutorial for you, even though they are incredibly easy.
Take two strips of fabric and put right sides together. There are many sizes of widths of Thangles, the one I have is for 2 1/2 inch strips. (Perfect for Jelly Rolls by the way…)
Then, sew along the dotted lines, on either side of the solid line, two per square.
Using your everyday crafting scissors (and not your best sewing shears since you are cutting through paper) cut on the solid line.
One side will already be without a dog ear, trim the other side so that it looks the same.
Next, tear away the paper.
Open up and there you have it!
They are just as the woman told me – quick and accurate. Now…go rock your own Thangles.

Deputies said a Greenwood woman is accused of kicking her toddler-aged son in the stomach because she was upset.
Greenwood County deputies were called to a home on Sullivan Street on Sunday about 5 p.m. where they were told Khadija Thomas, 20, was causing a disturbance, reportedly throwing bricks at the home and fighting with the father of her 2-year-old son.
The boy's father told deputies Thomas came over to argue about money and when his mother tried to get her to leave, she assaulted her then pulled the boy out of the car, kicked him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
When they spoke to Thomas, deputies said she admitting to kicking her son because she was upset. They said the boy had injuries on his stomach. Thomas was arrested and charged with cruelty to children.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Management at the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra has canceled all concerts through March 23 as the lockout of musicians continues.
SPCO President Dobson West said in a statement Thursday that musicians and management held off-the-record discussions earlier this month but reached no agreement.
Negotiators for the musicians then said they have decided not to honor a media blackout requested by a federal mediator, though they're ready and willing to keep talking.
Musicians negotiator Lynn Erickson says the SPCO management has been unwilling to compromise on several issues that are important to the musicians, and that money isn't the main issue.
Musicians at both the SPCO and the Minnesota Orchestra have been locked out in separate contract disputes since October.

Since I understand my Seven Surprises series hasn't caught fire just yet (that would have been a surprise in and of itself!) I will explain the premise again this week. This is a list of 7 pleasant (on rare occasions, unpleasant) surprises observed during the past week's Broncos game. Those surprises aren't the big major ones, like the D creating SIX turnovers (whooo-hooooo!) against the hapless Dolts, led by Mr. Cry-Me-A-Rivers, but I strive to offer less obvious surprises of plays or items I saw in the game. At the end of the post, feel free to add your own pleasant surprises from the last Broncos game! That makes the whole effort of putting together a post worthwhile!
On to the list!
1 - Cooking with Brooking - It was a pleasant surprise to see Brooking starting over Mays on the defensive side of the ball. Once again, our D played a strong game with Brooking calling the alignments and playing more disciplined in the middle. It's not a coincidence the Denver D has played its best pair of games when Brooking has manned the middle (or should I say when Mays HASN'T). Let's hope Fox/Rio keep that in mind for Week 8 and beyond.
2 - Hop, Skip and a Jump - I've been surprised a couple of times this year when Manning has actually scrambled for first downs this season and looked spry doing it. My surprise ratcheted higher when he ducked away from a defender and then jumped over another trying to get to his legs before completing a pass for positive yardage. He looked caught for a no-doubt sack, but proceeded to go all "Big Ben" and make something from nothing. Judging by the smile on his face the cameras caught after the play, I think he may have surprised himself!
3 - Decker the Wrecker - I imagine Jesse James' boyfriend will forever be leery of 40-yard-lines going forward, but I was pleasantly surprised to watch Decker go "beast mode" on his TD catch in the second half. I figured he was going to get pushed out of bounds or taken down at about the 2 yard line (I mean, if a blade of grass can tackle him, then about a half-dozen defenders should, right?), but you know he was trying to make up for that earlier blunder and would not... be... denied on that catch. Super effort that resulted in a great TD.
4 - Trevathan Makes an Appearance - Since watching the humble 6th-rounder play well in the preseason, it's been interesting to see when the Broncos would start rotating Danny Trevathan onto the field for some solid minutes. The announcers called his name at least several times over the course of the game, with none of those being the result of a botched play. I thought Carter and Harris were much more obvious surprises, so I didn't give them a separate post, but it's been a pleasant surprise to see our young guys turn into positive depth for the defense.
5 - Stokley Grows 12 inches on One Play!!! - Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Demaryius Thomas, Andre Johnson, Hakeem Nicks, etc. ... those big guys automatically come to mind when you think of successful fade routes to the edge of the end zone. But (channeling Jim Mora, here) "Stokley? Stokley? A fade route to Stokley?!!" That was a tremendous reception by the diminutive move-the-chains security blanket for Manning. Wow! How he made that catch, I still don't know, and I'll bet the defender still has no clue, either.
6 - Did I Spot a First Half Adjustment? - Yes, I think I did! Del Rio didn't wait until halftime to make some good adjustments, this time. After Adams was abused by Antonio Gates for a number of plays, Del Rio put Leonhard in to help cover the big guy, and the decision paid immediate dividends when the 5'8" Leonhard yanked the ball away away from Gates for a much-needed turnover in the first half. All right, Del Rio! Keep the adjustments flying all... game... long! (Speaking of Leonhard, I'll take his catch-the-punt-and-fall-forward style ANY DAY over the muff that occurred against the Chargers. Start a chant with me... "Catch the Ball and Fall!")
7 - The Broncos Are NEVER Out of a Game! - Down 24-0 at halftime is a perfect recipe for slumping your shoulders, shuffling off the field, finger pointing and pouting for the remainder of the game. But enough about Cutler... Seeing the resilience in past games this year that didn't turn into wins, it wasn't hard to imagine the Broncos would not be able to overcome THAT large of a deficit. What a pleasant surprise it was to see both sides of the ball come and out and take charge of the game. This win should inspire the Broncos to KNOW they are never out of a game, and should also serve to put some fear into every opponent left on their schedule. Confidence is a big deal. It creates better chemistry and a bigger ability to fight for wins that shouldn't be there. I'm looking through orange-colored glasses at the playoffs when I say that.
Those are my Seven Surprises... what are yours?

E-petition launched for inquiry into 1974 Birmingham bombings
A campaign group calling for an independent inquiry into the Birmingham pub bombings which killed 21 people and injured 200 in 1974, has launched an e-petition with the aim of having it discussed in the House of Commons.
'Justice For The 21' hopes the campaign will force the government to hold a public inquiry to find out who was responsible for the bombings.
A previous e-petition was launched in December but only attracted 2,700 signatures.
The bombs, which were detonated in the Mulberry Bush pub and the Tavern in the Town, were initially blamed on six men - all had their convictions quashed in 1991.

Making Scout Trooper Boots (Standard and Unicycle-Friendly)
Robert Appleton shows how to apply white vinyl to existing footwear to create Scout Trooper boots. He uses hiking boots for the standard Trooper version, and a pair of Airwalks for Brian's unicycle-friendly Scout boots.
The flat soul of the airwalks are way better to use than the soul of a hiking boot when you are riding a unicycle
(We're having an armour building party soon, so there will be another video about constructing the full suit)
Plastic paint on the white soul should allow me to color match the white strip under the vinyl to the souls of the standard souls
DIY Mannequin Construction
using easily available products, like foam, PVC pieces, and lots of duct tape, Aidan shows a really cost effective way to display your Star Wars costume with a cheap alternative to costly mannequins
Maintaining Your Armour (Storm Trooper)
Robert Appleton discusses some of his tricks used for polishing up his armour before he goes to events. He also shows the signs of wear and tear you need to look out for. The main thing to remember is to look for weaknesses in your costume before you need to put it on.
A good piece of advice: Check out your costume well enough in advance of your event in case you need to order/fabricate replacement parts

"Clash" of the Titans:
Well, not really. The San Franciso Treats vs. the Philadelphia Phollies is far from the Clash of the Titans. That title should be more reserved for bouts between the Bosox and Evil Empire. However, each team is 14-14 (dis)respectively and one obviously will go above .500 in the series.
Sticking with the Clash theme: Should I stay or should I Go? I'm planning on going to Saturday night's game. I have mixed emotions about probably seeing the Chemically Enhanced Superman play for the last time in Philly. Take a deep breath...I used to love Bonds...not so anymore. It'll be interesting to see how the Philly fans respond to him, especially if he hits a homerun, which Madson will probably serve up Saturday night. So, really, should I stay or should I go, because if I go there may be trouble (Phillies lose, Bonds homers), or if I stay it could be double (I break the coffee table watching the Phillies at home, while giving a double homerun game to Bonds)...so I think I go!
