Brown v. Board of Ed: Key Cold War weapon
The U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, issued on May 17, 1954, is probably the most important judicial decision in American history.
This week, on its 60th anniversary, the landmark ruling is being celebrated for its historic role in committing the United States to ending legal racial segregation and establishing the courts as a forum in which to secure enhanced protection of rights. All subsequent court decisions advancing the rights of those who have suffered discrimination are built on Brown.
There is another reason, however, that the decision was especially important. The Brown ruling greatly advanced the interests of the United States during the Cold War, when the nation was vying with the Soviet Union for global influence. The Truman administration recognized this in the early 1950s, when it filed a friend of the court brief with the Supreme Court in December 1952, calling for the result that the court announced 17 months later.
The Truman administration's brief was highly unusual because of its heavy emphasis on foreign-policy considerations in a case ostensibly about domestic issues. Of the seven pages covering "the interest of the United States," five focused on the way school segregation hurt the United States in the Cold War competition for the friendship and allegiance of non-white peoples in countries then gaining independence from colonial rule.
The brief, submitted by Attorney General James P. McGranery, said, "The United States is trying to prove to the people of the world of every nationality, race and color, that a free democracy is the most civilized and most secure form of government yet devised by man…. The existence of discrimination against minority groups in the United States has an adverse effect upon our relations with other countries. Racial discrimination furnishes grist for the Communist propaganda mills." It also featured an excerpt from a letter by Secretary of State Dean Acheson, described as "an authoritative statement of the effects of racial discrimination in the United States upon the conduct of foreign relations."
President Harry S. Truman, acting on his authority as commander in chief, had ended racial segregation in the armed forces in 1948. But he had been stymied in dealing with schools. They operated under state control, and many states had laws that required segregation. Congress was empowered to act under the 14th Amendment. But given the powerful positions of long-serving Southern senators and representatives, there seemed little possibility that Congress would take on the task of desegregating the schools. The only chance to solve the problem, Truman realized, rested with the Supreme Court.
The media quickly grasped the ruling's foreign policy ramifications. "When some hostile propagandist rises in Moscow or Beijing to accuse us of being a class society," the New York Times editorial stated, "we can if we wish recite the courageous words of yesterday's opinion." The San Francisco Chronicle noted, "Great as the impact will be upon the states of the South, still greater, we believe, will be its impact in South America, Africa and Asia, to this country's lasting honor and benefit." The Minneapolis Tribune added, "The words of Chief Justice [Earl] Warren will echo far beyond our borders and may greatly influence our relations with dark-skinned peoples."
Many other leading newspapers, notably those serving African-American communities, made similar points.
Many Americans in the 1950s recognized that the country's record on civil rights crucially affected Washington's ability to advance its international interests. Unfortunately, there are many today who seem not to have learned that lesson, or who seem not to care about foreign policy consequences.
Consideration of such issues as "enhanced interrogation" of detainees after September 11; long-term detention at Guantanamo without charges or trials; the courts' refusal to consider allegations of torture because it would expose "state secrets," and the National Security Agency's wide-ranging surveillance practices often demonstrates little understanding of the damage these practices have done to the reputation of the United States internationally. Proponents of these activities can seem oblivious to the way they undermine America's capacity to influence the policies of other countries.
Most regrettably, the Supreme Court, which had one of its finest moments on May 17, 1954, is, 60 years later, often on the side of cutting back rights rather than advancing their protection. The intrinsic importance of the rights at stake is the foremost reason to deplore the current situation.
Though perhaps not as significant, the damage being done to the U.S. role in world affairs is also a serious matter.

For some odd reason "Sign Of The Hammer" is probably the Manowar album which gets overlooked most of the time - probably having more to do with the crap distribution (at that time) than the musical contents - which are strong as usual.
Even though this album followed hot on the heels of "Hail To England" and certainly is not bad in its own right - it never manages to match the class that that one had (or "Into Glory Ride" for example) - mainly due to the production which is somehow a bit lacking (the drums don't have the punch they should have for example) and a couple of "weaker" songs.
First off - let's start with the "weak" songs - personally (although I know various opinions) I couldn't do a lot with opener "All Men Play On 10" - which is probably Manowar's lamest anthem to date - the up-tempo rocker "Animals" (the lyrics to this one are particulary lame) or the (surprise surprise) bass solo "Thunderpick". Those songs don't cut it for me and are among the weaker ones that the band did so far.
Saving grace for this release though - are the remaining five tunes - which are very strong without a doubt. There are two "epic" songs ("Mountains" and "Guyana") both of which certainly don't have to hide for any other similar ones - and then there are three speedy songs - off which "Thor" and "Sign Of The Hammer" are genuine classics - and "The Oath" strangely enough always gets overlooked - even though it's a stonking speed track as well.
All in all this certainly is an album which is way above average - even though it didn't quite seem to get the love and attention of the metal masses upon initial release - Manowar fans should get this without hestitation...(after they got "Hail To England" first though).

HOORAY FOR THE WEB, BOO-HOO FOR THE WEB: In a recently released report, ZenithOptimedia analysts noted: "Internet ad growth continues to run ahead of expectations. Faced with an uncertain economic future, Western advertisers are shifting even more of their budgets online, where the returns on their investment are obvious, and easy to quantify and fine-tune….Newspapers, magazines, television and radio are all losing share to the Internet, but newspapers are clearly suffering the most."
Meanwhile, Robert Coen, senior vice president and director of forecasting at Magna, a unit of marketing giant Interpublic Group, predicted that Internet advertising will be up 12 percent this year versus 2007 — the largest increase of any category — with magazines expected to be up 1 percent and newspapers down 7 percent. "The outlook for traditional advertising is currently not very good. Eventually the pendulum will probably swing back to recovery, but not in the immediate future," said Coen. Two of the nation's biggest advertisers, Proctor & Gamble and GM, are devoting a substantial portion of their ad dollars to the Internet, reportedly at the expense of print. Advertising Age reported on Monday that GM has moved almost a quarter of its media spend online (the company has a total measured and unmeasured ad spend of $3 billion, according to estimates). But don't expect fashion and jewelry firms to quickly follow suit. They still have some trepidation when it comes to advertising online for a variety of reasons, such as the fear of diluting their brands or the fact that those pricy ad images look more appealing in a glossy magazine than on a computer screen. But these issues haven't stopped some big names — including Cartier and Burberry — from spending money online. In fact, Cartier already has devoted 10 percent of its global ad budget to the Web.
Olivier Stip, senior vice president of marketing and communications at Cartier North America, said money has been taken from the firm's print budget to fund online advertising. "Our goal is to be a leader in the category," he said. "It's now an important part of what we do in reaching our existing clients, as well as provide a more dynamic way to reach a new type of customer that may not read magazines." Every year, Cartier has expanded the number of sites on which it advertises — some examples include msn.com, aol.com, cnn.com, nytimes.com, instyle.com and Style.com. "We have banner ads and work on search engines like Google," Stip noted. "And we know it's working. Measurement is a focus for us and we stick with reputable sites. If we do it well, it provides more creativity." Burberry offers a full range of ready-to-wear and accessories for men, women and children on its Web site, where e-commerce has been in place since 2004 in the U.S. and plans are under way for Europe. The company began advertising online earlier this year, on sites such as Style.com and, in the near future, online ad spending also will encompass men and children. Burberry will launch a series of podcasts, accompanied by music, later this year and recently introduced Italian-, French- and German-language sites.
Online advertising has been one of the few bright spots for publishers in the tough economy, albeit one that remains tiny when compared with print. Last week, The New York Times Co. reported that total ad revenue for the second quarter was down 10.6 percent, yet online revenue rose 13 percent. ZenithOptimedia forecasts Internet advertising to break the 10 percent share barrier this year and grow to 13.6 percent of the world ad spent by 2010. — Amy Wicks

We don't stay in many B & B's but were pleased with our stay at Annie Wiggins. Wendy was so welcoming and friendly and a wealth of knowledge. She also was willing to share her interest and participation in Civil War Re-enactments. We had a wonderful time and the house was so beautiful. We are already planning a trip back to Galena.

This was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in my life. When my fiancee and I arived to Annie Wiggins we were greeted by the innkeepers. Only to learn that the Annabella room that we selected was infested with bugs, starting with a bug on the bed, then one on the toilet. Later that evening a bug was found in the jacuzzi. We did everything we could to make this a great stay. The next morning during breakfast, another bug was in the jacuzzi. Then as we anxiously trotted to breakfast, we were served pork sausage, and crepes. My fiancee does not have any allegies to food but I do, and the inn keeper stated " You should have told me". Later, after breakfast I asked to speak to her privately and learned that she was not the owner. When the owner arrived, I expressed my concerns regarding the bugs, and not having a choice for breakfast she replied " You do have a choice not to eat, and that I wa being completely unreasonable abou the bug situation. She requested that we check out that day and she would refund the money for day 2. I don't recommend this location because of the bugs and the lack of interpersonal skills.

We arrived without a reservation and were sincerely welcomed by the innkeeper for a three night stay. The innkeeper was very knowledgable about the house, events in the area, and restaurant recommendations. The house, porches, and our room were beautifully maintained and decorated with period and autumn accessories. Morning breakfast, afternoon brandy, and freshly baked cookies in the evening were extraordinarilly delicous! We are already planning our return visit and are recommending the place to our friends.

Our 21st wedding anniversary was just perfect thanks to Wendy (owner). We felt so at home in the beautiful old house. Breakfast was absolutely worth getting up for. Our room was even better in person than the great pictures online.

My husband and I stood at this beautifully kept B&B for our honeymooon back in June 2007. It was a wonderful experience! Wendy, the innkeeper, was so helpful and friendly. We stayed in a room toward the back of the house and had a private entrance with our own sitting area outside. The linens and little trinkets finish this room off. And the breakfast..... to die for! Wendy really goes all out for her guests. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and so did my husband. We will definitely be going back!

"I love the butterfly return address labels. It's so hard to find anything butterfly these days and these were perfect!! The label is larger than I thought it would be but will work fine."
"These labels are in a different category than the ones that are advertised in print ads that come in the mail. These are beautiful labels on high quality paper with bright, clear colors and classy designs. Recommend highly!"
"We love these address labels! We put them on some of our wedding invitations, thank you cards, and will be using them into the first months and year(s) of our new life together. My wife to be especially loves them. Thanks so much!"
"Love these labels. I used the standard font and it looks great! The only trick was that my street address is a bit long so I had to use abbreviations and put my apartment number on a separate line, but they still love great. The grey is a bit more like a chalk board, rather than being one solid color like it looks like in the pic but it gives the labels more character. Great!! :)"

I worked at Intermountain Electric full-time (less than a year)
Pros100% paid health insurance. Willing to use technology.
ConsThis company is incredibly disorganized and unstable. Management is completely disconnected from what is happening at the lower levels and reactive to all situations. It's chaotic at best planning is not done effectively here. Accounting driven decision making.
The biggest issue working here is that management does not value their employees. They could care less about their people. I honestly mean that! I have never worked for a company that cared less about their people's needs. Everything from HR problems to management scheming to take money from you through PTO schemes 60 day waiting periods for health insurance. It's always what works best for them.
Another major issue is that they go through such huge swings in revenue. That makes them very unstable. Some years they are 30 mil in revenue and the next year 70 mil. It makes for an unstable work environment. 90% of the people that work there are less than 2 years. Management seems to fluctuate every two years as well. There is little stability that allows the company to develop processes and culture. It's truly chaotic at best!
There are allot of very dissatisfied employees at the office. Low morale. Lots of safety incidents in the field.Advice to ManagementAdviceGet more involved with daily activities. Understand what is happening at the front lines. Slow down and develop your systems.

Solar panel inventories built up during a second-quarter slowdown are now largely depleted because of higher demand in the second half of the year, said Martin Simonek, a solar analyst at the London-based Bloomberg New Energy Finance. He said sales of solar panels may decline for the first time in 2012 after "significant" drops in subsidies in key European markets. Demand may gain in 2013, when cheaper panels make solar energy competitive in more sunny nations and developing economies, Simonek said.
Suntech Power Holdings (STP US), the world's largest maker of solar panels, jumped 16 percent to $2.38.
Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL US), China's largest solar panel maker by market capitalization, leaped 16 percent to a one-week high of $7.53.
