BWW Discussion: The Curtain Comes Down on AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW
by Courtney Henley - Jan 23, 2015 It's been a long and winding road for the freaks in this season's AMERICAN HORROR STORY. Death, betrayal, sass, and some good, old-fashioned blood baths (literally and figuratively) sprinkled in for good measure made for quite a show. This season (like every other season) may have divided some viewers regarding whether it was spectacular or just spectacularly bad, but one thing's for certain: there's a lot to discuss. My fellow recapper and TV-obsessed friend Kara McCoy and I did just that. Join us, but beware: spoilers abound! (more...)

Hill District Does NOT Sue Pittsburgh Penguins
by BWW News Desk - Jan 20, 2015 PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ When several media outlets incorrectly reported that a Hill District community group sued the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins, it was news to everyone.

The show, from the minds of Dan Fogelman, Glenn Slater, and Alan Menken, tells a rather unusual fairy tale, and at the center is the unconventional evil queen Madalena. (more...)
BWW Reviews: The Rep's Uplifting and Amusing GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER
by Chris Gibson - Jan 14, 2015 It seems like more and more films are being adapted for the stage these days. Some for the better and some for the worse. Which brings us to the classic film, GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER, which starred Spencer Tracy (in his final screen appearance), Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier, in a wonderfully inspiring and humorous production being presented by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. One might think that this particular piece of cinema is outdated, but the fact is that this story is one that will still resonate with audiences today, and maybe that's a just a sad dose of reality that we all have to face. Todd Kreidler's script follows the movie fairly closely (based on the original screenplay by William Rose), but includes large doses of laughs that neatly leaven the dramatic aspects of the piece, making it an engaging and thoroughly entertaining theatrical experience that I cannot recommend highly enough.

BWW Recap: The GIRLS Are Back In Town for Season Four
by Samantha Reichstein - Jan 11, 2015 Opening with a congratulatory dinner for Hannah's soon-to-be Iowa send-off, the same uncomfortable vibes from her parents form around the table, though this time Hannah handles it with a newfound poise and control. Wondering if all it took was an acceptance letter to prove herself to the world, we can't help but feel happy seeing Hannah content and collected. Of course Adam just has to show up late, proving from his thirty-second scene that change is far from him. Still making Hannah's parents uncomfortable, still bitching about his recent career choice of acting, and still unable to show his true feelings about really anything dealing with Hannah's success.

A funny premise made funnier when we see how this plot will be presented, with consistent back-and-forth from Claire's glamorous in-flight experience (a beautiful stranger offers her two chardonnays and a hot towel) to Phil's less-than-stellar one (he gets hit with a bag that falls from an overhead compartment on the way to his seat).

Dominick's Basic Pizza Dough
Total Time
15 minsCook
2 hrsThis is Dominick DeAngelis' recipe for pizza dough using high gluten flour. His pizza flour is sold at Fante's in Philadelphia and on the internet. You can also find high gluten flour in other speciality stores. It's amazing what a difference using high gluten flour makes--you can achieve a marvelously thin and crispy crust. This recipe is so easy and I have found it to be fool proof and it can easily be doubled. It's also wonderful for Garlic Knots (recipe 179509).
Nutrition- 2 cups high gluten flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 3⁄4 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F.)
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Place the warm water, salt, sugar. yeast and olive oil in a bowl and mix well.
- Add flour and begin kneading immediately, using a mixing machine or by hand (I use my Kitchenaid with the dough hook).
- Dough has proper moisture content when it is sticky to the touch but does not stick to your hand--add extra water or flour to achieve this.
- After kneading about 15 minutes by hand or a few minutes in the mixer, form the dough into a ball and let it rise, covered or in a large plastic freezer bag about two hours at room temperature.
- Gently deflate and refrigerate up to 24 hours before freezing or baking (the longer you chill the dough, the chewier the crust--I like it chilled only briefly).
- Your dough is now ready to be used in your favorite way.
- I roll mine out very thin and bake at the highest temperature the oven will allow.

OK. So I settled on the Springfield XD .40 Service Model (4") for carry as a Reserve Sheriff Deputy. Unfortunately, no one told me that a service holster is virtually impossible to find for these things. I would love to get a Bianchi Accumold Enforcer SLR in nylon, but there is no model made that I can find for the XDs.
Can anyone recommend ANY Retension Level 2 holsters for the XD?

Very good
Great location. The bed is extremely comfortable. The breakfast is good, offers what you need to give you enough energy to start your day at NYC.
Friendly. Good breakfast
I would stay again. Just fix the mold. Had to ask for a vacuum.
The location was very good, period. The bed is awesome. The bathrooms were clean and neat.
One of the pillow covers was dirty. And I seriously think that was dry sperm. My wife and I were disgusted.
sortiment was good
I dont like money reservation from account and how long its taking to get reserved money back
Location and cleanliness of the room
room and especially the bathrooms were very small.
Location was good . Breakfast was good. Room was warm .
The house keeping staff should be fired . This hotel is great but it's just not being cleaned properly . Front staff were friendly . Breakfast was perfect .location perfect . Room lovely and warm with great hot water . But how can the carpets be worn out and dirt and lint in corners everywhere .sheets were clean but I was concerned . Terrible pity management dosnt play active role in housekeeping .
The bed is very comfortable, pretty good heat.
No cell phone service.
At least hot water was working.
Very dirty floor, yellow bed sheets and looking noto changed in our case, very small uncomfortable room. Everything is old and falling apart from the bathroom sink to the the exposed light socket without light bulb.room was Also cold. Staff is rude and took 1h to nave new bedsheets. Freezing corridors and hall. Breakfast room is tiny and far too small for the hotel occupancy. By 9am all fresh bakery was gone. Waffle macchine is present but no dow is provided. Bad hotel, you pay extra money forma the brand but it is really not worth.
This property has a great location. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, the water was hot and had great pressure. Though the breakfast room was crowded, food was replenished quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful with minor issues. We will definitely use again!
Rooms are small, and this meant only one bedside table was present. Adding some sort of "reading light" on headboard would be a great addition and help with the room being more comfortable to retreat to. Internet was slow on the 3rd floor. The facility is a little worn, and with a bit more "deep" cleaning, it could be fabulous!
good position near Central Park and subway station.
it was winter and very low temperature in NY, and so the heating of the room wasn't enough. I switched the room but the heating was the same poor and old boiler system.
I liked the convenient location, and that there was a 24 hour store down the block and a diner open until 5am. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.
The room was freeeeeezing!
Located one block from Central Park and 20 minute walk from Times Square.
Tired building, tiny rooms, single elevator that worked sporadically, took forever to arrive and broke down trapping us within.
The bed was comfy & the breakfast was iight.
There isn't much to do for young people. The bathroom is mediocre, the wifi is in & out. This is really an expensive motel, I wouldn't suggest it
Location, close to subway
Needs repair and updates, dirty looking, walls, windows, broken plugs, and just not great looking
No staff when we went to check in. The next morning the 7 am breakfast was t ready until 9:45 am. The whole building is just old and rundown. Unclean. Unprofessional, disorganzied staff. Will not stay here again
Location, really comfy bed, free breakfast and wifi
Toilet kept blocking but staff were super quick to fix it
The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The electric was down the 2nd day of our stay but the staff still put on what breakfast they could and tried to resolve the problem as soon as possible. It was fixed within a few hours and everything back to normal. It was brilliant value for money. The room was small but perfect for what we needed. The bathroom and bedding was clean and fresh and i would recommend the hotel to others. Great location for central park and the musuem. Only a 10 min walk to Times Square. We had a lovely stay. Thank you.
It could do with a lick of paint but thats all.
I was traveling with my niece 18 and step-daughter 16. When we entered the room we just started to laugh how boxy and small it was. But! The location is perfect, great choice of breakfast. Next day after spending all day in New York we could care less about size of the room. We had our clean bad and hot water in the shower and that was enough. Good location can save a lot of time!
On our last day there was no power, an elevator didn't work. Breakfast area was freezing. A carpet in our room was there for a very long time, that's why it smells soooo bad! If the owner will make just a little renovation this place will be amazing!
We liked the location.
We disliked the size of the room.
Staff and Manager were very nice and pleasant.It was good.
A bit cold .Could not close window Loose socket.
The coussy bed with clean sheets and the good breakfast.
The room was too tight,choked up with big furniture. Yet no place to sit down and read. I applied for a big room with these things but ended up in a tight room.
the location the free wifi and the breakfast included. that s it
rooms are so small, very old, dirty, Windows sight on a black wall so impossible to open; you Wonder how they renew the air of the room. stairs are sticky ( never washed i guees i saw the sames stains during ma y stay) bad selle ( animals odors) . I asked to change of room they gave me the same. I asked for e real decent room i finally had one with a window and outside light but a very skiny bathroom. but i prefered that than a closet or a cellar. i m about tu send pictures to the direction of Comfort inn becaus i doesn'st deserve suche à label. it s a disaster !!!!


text: eBay cozies up to Scoble for a new spin on gift lists December 1, 2012 12:11 PM J. O'Dell eBay, that megalith of online shopping and auctions, has made a bid to amp up holiday sales with series of unique partnerships. Called the "Want List," the new feature will highlight top picks from influential folks and micro-celebs. The personal holiday wish lists and gift lists will appear until December 17, with five lists from five guest curators appearing each week. On Monday, December 10, eBay will feature the Internet's own Robert Scoble and a top-five list of the gifts he plans to give this December. An eBay rep told VentureBeat via email that Want Lists are "exclusively available via the core mobile app" on tablets and smartphones and that the lists were created to "help inspire shoppers looking for great gift ideas wherever they are." eBay's focus on mobile right now makes sense, given that the site is seeing enormous year-over-year jumps in mobile commerce; making a mobile-only special feature is likely to keep those numbers growing. Also, the whole idea of celebrity-inspired lists is part of a larger trend we're seeing in holiday e-commerce: curation, curation, curation. By throwing a spotlight on hand-picked, high-quality items, online retailers can help to reduce the number of choices available. Rather than turning customers off, this limited-selection approach can actually lead to higher sales by reducing or eliminating the "analysis paralysis" that sets in when you give a less-confident shopper too many options. (Yes, we've been thinking about this topic an awful lot lately. We even made a whole shopping meta-list of the best sites for quickly picking high-quality, hand-curated items; check it out if shopping drives you nuts.) So, what's on webhound Scoble's list, you wonder? eBay gave us a sneak peek, and as you'd expect, it's gadget heavy. The veteran blogger's top pick is the iPad mini 64GB with LTE, followed by the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition camcorder and the Mophie PowerStation. Still a boy who likes toys, Scoble also tapped a remote control truck; he also pointed out a lovely necklace of silver and larimar, a rare blue variety of pectolite, for his wife.

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
A good day for Gopher receivers on Tuesday, with Devin Crawford-Tufts, Malcolm Moulton, A.J. Barker, Drew Goodger and John Rabe all making difficult catches during the various scrimmages.
"I will tell you, they've gotten a whole lot better these last two practices," coach Jerry Kill said afterward.
The offense wasn't exactly dominant -- in fact, the Gopher offense had to punt away its first three possessions -- but there were plenty of big plays as spring practices wind down. There would have been more, too, if MarQueis Gray scrambles weren't immediately blown dead once he cleared the line of scrimmage.
Gray connected for gains of 20-plus yards with Crawford-Tufts (a tremendous reach for the ball in traffic) and Rabe on one touchdown drive, the scoring play coming on a 3-yard pass over the middle to Goodger.
On Gray's next series, Barker caught a deep pass that picked up 25 yards or so.
The backup quarterbacks got some snaps, too, and Philip Nelson's were the most productive. On Nelson's first play from scrimmage, he was sacked for an 8-yard loss by Gopher linebacker Jephte Matilus, coming right up the middle, but Nelson got the yardage back plus a lot more one play later. The freshman quarterback hit Moulton on a short route in front of a linebacker, and Moulton broke a pair of tackles to turn the play into a 30-yard gain. Nelson connected with Crawford-Tufts on another decent gain, then completed the 70-yard touchdown drive by scrambling into the end zone by himself.
Linebacker Mike Rallis and running back Devin Wright were among the players out of action, both limited by hamstring injuries suffered last Friday. Neither injury appears serious, but "we won't take any chances," Kill said.
The coach was annoyed by a series of penalties, but blamed the four-day layoff for some of the sloppiness. Late in the practice, Kill got worked up over a personal foul penalty on the offense. "Sometimes you're not as clean as you'd like," Kill said. "Overall, we're getting better and learning a lot about our players."
They'll get an extra chance this week, too. Kill has rescheduled the April 7 practice, cancelled in the wake of Gary Tinsley's death, for this Friday, a no-pads session that the coach said would serve as a rehearsal for Saturday morning's spring game in TCF Bank Stadium.

did u put it underwater? if so wait about 2-3 hours and it should come back, if not do a reset or flash a different rom to see if it a hardware failure or software.

Takeaways fueling Ravens' playoff run
Football Outsiders takes a look at the upsets of the divisional playoffs, why they happened and what awaits the victors in the championship round.
If you write about upsets every week of the NFL season, this past weekend was a fat kid in the candy store moment. On the weekend when home teams historically have won the majority of games, three road teams toppled their rested opponents.
Rather than focus on one upset, we look at all three and what they mean for next weekend's championship games. In each game, a handful of plays swung the winning team's way and show what the team needs to do to advance to the Super Bowl.
Baltimore-Tennessee Tennessee lost because it turned the ball over three times in the red zone. The Titans outgained Baltimore by 180 yards, but thanks to turnovers, they lost 13-10. This was the Ravens' second consecutive victory fueled by turnovers. This is nothing new, as Baltimore led the league in takeaways this season. Both Miami and Tennessee (hardly offensive juggernauts) moved the ball when they were not coughing it up to the Ravens.The Ravens should be able to force turnovers against the Steelers, who turn the ball over at a much higher rate than the generally efficient Dolphins and Titans. The Steelers' past two games, however, hint that Pittsburgh will have more success throwing the ball, particularly on shorter routes, than it did during the regular season. For Baltimore, turnovers are no longer a bonus but a necessary part of being a dominant defense.
Equally important is whether the Ravens will be able to prevent giving the ball back to Pittsburgh. Through two playoff games, rookie quarterback Joe Flacco has avoided mistakes. The results are not always pretty -- the Ravens made only nine first downs against Tennessee -- but Baltimore still won two playoff games. Flacco has thrown only five interceptions in his past 13 games, but two of those were in the Ravens' Week 15 loss to the Steelers. Flacco was awful in that game, completing only 11 of 28 passes.
Given that the two Baltimore-Pittsburgh regular-season games were decided by three and four points, respectively, it is hard to imagine the AFC title game will not be extremely close. The winner likely will be the team that forces more turnovers. The Ravens' defense seems up to the challenge. Whether Flacco can remain mistake-free is to be determined.
The most surprising result of the weekend was Arizona's domination of Carolina. The Cardinals limped home to a 9-7 finish yet find themselves hosting the NFC Championship Game. Offensively, the Cardinals' explosiveness is well-known. Had they won two shootouts, their surprising playoff run would have been at least understandable.Instead, the Cardinals have played well on offense, but their defense has done the heavy lifting. According to Football Outsiders' DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) ratings, the Cardinals' best defensive game of the season was against Carolina. Their third-best was their wild-card win over Atlanta. The Cardinals have limited opponents who want to run the ball and forced their quarterbacks into obvious passing situations. Their defense has then cashed in on turnovers.
The Panthers' massive early deficit meant they had to abandon the run, but they struggled to run the ball even early on. DeAngelo Williams finished with 63 yards on 12 carries, but 31 of those yards came on his second carry of the game. When the Panthers couldn't run, the pressure fell on Jake Delhomme, who had the worst game of his career and the second-worst game any quarterback has had in the playoffs since 1995.
The game turned on the Panthers' second possession. After jumping to a 7-0 lead behind the strong running of Williams and Jonathan Stewart, the Panthers called three straight running plays but were stuffed on third-and-1 by safety Adrian Wilson. The Panthers punted. The Cardinals scored after a big play to Larry Fitzgerald. Then, the Cardinals' Antonio Smith sacked and forced a fumble on the Panthers' next offensive play, and the rout was on.
The Cardinals' defense faces a very different challenge against Philadelphia, one it failed to overcome on Thanksgiving. The Eagles, unlike Atlanta and Carolina, are a pass-first team. Arizona's aggressive safeties, Wilson and Antrel Rolle, excel near the line of scrimmage. The Cardinals' secondary has been reinforced with the insertion of ball-hawking cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie into the starting lineup, but it still is not an elite group.
The Cardinals like to play man-to-man defense, which can be effective against the Eagles. The key, however, will be whether the Cardinals can put pressure on Donovan McNabb. Nothing about their regular-season performance indicates the Cardinals can do that. Of course, nothing about their regular-season performance said they could beat the Panthers.
Philadelphia-New York Giants
The rubber match of this intense rivalry went to the visiting Eagles, who relied on a dominant defense to return to their first NFC Championship Game since the 2004 season. That defense has driven the Eagles all season. McNabb remains the face of the franchise, and his midseason benching and subsequent good play have been the focus of much media attention. The dirty little secret is that McNabb is playing at the same level he has played for years. Instead, the Eagles' return to the NFC title game is predicated on the defense's return to glory.
The Eagles have developed a dominant defensive line that is extremely talented and deep. The defense rotates at least eight linemen, and all are solid contributors. Tackles Mike Patterson and Brodrick Bunkley anchor the defense and are the key cogs to the front seven. Their disruptive play allows the young, athletic linebackers to make plays.Against the Giants, the Eagles held their own against the Giants' vaunted run game, particularly on the game's most crucial plays. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles stopped the Giants on four third- or fourth-and-short runs. These stops basically sealed the victory. The Giants averaged more yards per play, but their inability to convert on third and fourth down (4-for-16) was their undoing.
The Eagles' offense continues to make just enough plays to win games. Against Minnesota in the wild-card round, the Eagles made a few big plays to lead them to a win. On Sunday, the key was the Eagles' proficiency on third down. The Eagles completed seven of 14 third downs. Most damaging were a third-and-21 and a third-and-10 the Eagles converted on their go-ahead field goal drive in the third quarter. Although they made some clutch plays, the offense was pedestrian overall.
Adjusting for opposing defensive quality, the Eagles actually had the second-worst offense of the whole weekend, better than only Carolina. The Giants shut down Brian Westbrook, which poses an interesting model for Arizona. The Cardinals love to stop the run and likely will mimic the Giants' strategy. In Arizona, however, the Eagles are unlikely to face the same windy conditions that slowed down both offenses Sunday, and the Cardinals cannot match the Giants' pass rush.
The Eagles have to be considered prohibitive favorites against Arizona. Their defense should harass Kurt Warner and stop the Edgerrin James revitalization tour. Still, the Cardinals' passing offense is too good not to make some big plays, so McNabb and the offense will need to play more consistently. Given the upheaval of this postseason -- underdogs are 5-3 -- anything can happen and probably will.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Flag Desecration Amendment, often referred to as the Flag-burning Amendment, is a proposed constitutional amendment to the United States Constitution that would allow the United States Congress to prohibit statutorily the physical desecration of the flag of the United States. The concept of flag desecration continues to provoke a heated debate over protecting a national symbol, protecting free speech, and protecting the liberty represented by a national symbol.
While the proposed amendment is frequently referred to colloquially in terms of expression of political views through "flag burning," the language would permit the prohibition of all forms of flag desecration, which may take forms other than burning, such as using the flag for clothing or napkins.
The most recent attempt to adopt a flag desecration amendment failed in the United States Senate by one vote on June 27, 2006.[1][2]
The full text of the amendment (passed several times by the U.S. House of Representatives):
This proposed amendment was intended to give Congress the right to enact statutes criminalizing the burning or other desecration of the United States flag in a public protest. Proponents of legislation to proscribe flag burning argue that burning the flag is a very offensive gesture that deserves to be outlawed. Opponents maintain that giving Congress such power would essentially limit the principle of freedom of speech, enshrined in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and symbolized by the flag itself.
The theories underlying these First Amendment principles include: a robust national discourse about political and social ideas; individual self-realization; the search for truth; and, speech as a "safety valve." These concepts are expounded in both the majority and dissenting opinions of the cases described below. There Justice William Joseph Brennan, Jr. noted that the "principal function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute; it may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger."[3]
A summer 2005 poll by the First Amendment Center found that 63% of Americans opposed amending the constitution to outlaw flag burning, up from 53% in 2004.[4] An USA Today/Gallup Poll in June 2006 found that 54% of Americans opposed a flag desecration amendment.[5] An USA Today/Gallup Poll in June 2006 reached a different conclusion, with 56% supporting a constitutional amendment, but down from 63% favoring a flag burning amendment in Gallup's 1999 poll.[6][7] Another poll conducted by CNN in June 2006 found that 56% of Americans supported a flag desecration amendment.[1]
The first federal Flag Protection Act was passed by Congress in 1968 in response to protest burnings of the flag at demonstrations against the Vietnam War.[8] Over time, 48 of the 50 U.S. states also enacted similar flag protection laws. All of these statutes were overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States by a 5–4 vote in the case Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989) as unconstitutional restrictions of public expression. Congress responded to the Johnson decision by passing a Flag Protection Act, only to see the Supreme Court reaffirm Johnson by the same 5–4 majority in United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990), declaring that flag burning was constitutionally-protected free speech.
In both cases, William J. Brennan wrote the majority opinion, joined by Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy (Kennedy also authored a separate concurrence in Johnson), and the dissenters in both cases were then-Chief Justice William Rehnquist (who authored a dissent in Johnson), and Justices John Paul Stevens (who authored dissents in both cases), Byron White and Sandra Day O'Connor.
The decisions were controversial and have prompted Congress to consider the only remaining legal avenue to enact flag protection statutes—a constitutional amendment. Each Congress since the Johnson decision has considered creating a flag desecration amendment. From 1995 to 2005, beginning with the 104th Congress, the proposed amendment was approved biennially by the two-thirds majority necessary in the U.S. House of Representatives, but it consistently failed to achieve the same constitutionally-required super-majority vote in the U.S. Senate. During some sessions, the proposed amendment did not even come to a vote in the Senate before the expiration of the Congress' term. The last time it was considered, in the 109th Congress, the Amendment failed by one vote in the Senate. Some Senate Republican aides indicated that almost a dozen of the Republican senators who voted for the amendment were privately opposed to it, and they believed that these senators would have voted to defeat the amendment if required.[9]
During each term of Congress from 1995 to 2005, the proposed amendment was passed by the House of Representatives, but not the Senate, falling four votes short on two occasions in the upper house. As approved by the House of Representatives each time, the joint resolutions called for ratification by state legislatures, of which a minimum of 38 state legislative approvals would be required (three-fourths of the 50 states), within a period of seven years following the proposal by both houses of Congress. As can be seen by the votes in the House of Representatives, support for the amendment appears to be slipping with only 286 'yea' votes during the 109th Congress in 2005, in contrast to the 312 'yea' votes a decade earlier during the 104th.
The chronology of the Congress' action upon the flag-desecration amendment runs over a period of more than ten years:
Congress | Resolution(s) | Vote date | Yes | No | Link |
104th Congress[10] | House Joint Resolution 79 | June 28, 1995 | 312 | 120 | [1] |
Senate Joint Resolution 31 | December 12, 1995 | 63 | 36 | [2] | |
105th Congress[11] | House Joint Resolution 54 | June 12, 1997 | 310 | 114 | [3] |
106th Congress[12] | House Joint Resolution 33 | June 24, 1999 | 305 | 124 | [4] |
Senate Joint Resolution 14 | March 29, 2000 | 63 | 37 | [5] | |
107th Congress[13] | House Joint Resolution 36 | July 17, 2001 | 298 | 125 | [6] |
108th Congress[14] | House Joint Resolution 4 | June 3, 2003 | 300 | 125 | [7] |
109th Congress[15] | House Joint Resolution 10 | June 22, 2005 | 286 | 130 | [8] |
Senate Joint Resolution 12 | June 27, 2006 | 66 | 34 | [9] |
To be added to the Constitution, it must be approved by a two-thirds vote of those present and voting in the 100-member Senate, as well as be ratified by at least three-fourths of the 50 state legislatures. Senators had until the end of 2006 to take action on H.J. Res. 10 during the remainder of the 109th Congress.[15] On March 7, 2006, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist announced that he would bring the bill for consideration in June 2006.[16] On Monday, June 26, 2006, the Senate began debate on the proposed amendment. The following day, the amendment, sponsored by Senator Orrin Hatch, fell one vote short in the Senate, with 66 in support and 34 opposed. The Republican nay votes were Bob Bennett (UT), Lincoln Chafee (RI), and Mitch McConnell (KY). The vote on Senator Richard Durbin's alternative amendment, which would have given Congress the power to ban flag desecration intended to intimidate or breach peace on federal land, was 36–64.[2] Opponents pointed to the proximity of the vote to the November 7, 2006 Congressional Election, and claimed that the vote (and a recent vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment) was election year grandstanding.
This section possibly contains original research. (July 2014) |
In 2005, the First Amendment Center published a report titled "Implementing a Flag-Desecration Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: An end to the controversy ... or a new beginning?".[17] The report pointed out that the effect of the proposed amendment would likely be challenged on collateral matters in ways that will require the courts, and ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court, to parse the exact meaning of ambiguous terms contained therein. The focus of the report was on the meanings that would be assigned to the phrases, "physical desecration" and "flag of the United States."
The phrase "physical desecration" might be open to various interpretations concerning the uncertainty of the context of desecration. For example, uncertainty exists over whether the term includes the wearing of the flag as clothing, as a tattoo, or flying a flag upside-down. It is uncertain what can be interpreted as "physical desecration". Does it require that the flag be physically damaged, or made to appear damaged? It is also unclear whether "virtual flag desecration" (which could be defined as an artistic depiction of flag desecration, a computerized simulation of flag desecration, or burning any object which has a flag on it) would be subject to the amendment. There is also the question whether the perpetrator of such an act is required to have a specific intent to "desecrate" to be prosecuted. The Report of the 108th Congress, in proposing this amendment, stated:
"...'desecrate' means deface, damage, or otherwise physically mistreat in a way that the actor knows will seriously offend [sic] one or more persons likely to observe or discover his action..."
This seems to suggest that the amendment will apply only to acts where the actor intends offense.
Since the amendment would allow prohibition against only "the flag of the United States," it could be construed as only applying to flags that are the property of the United States government, as opposed to private property. This language could also be interpreted as being limited to flags that meet the exact specifications for the United States flag laid out in federal law. It is unclear what effect the amendment would have with respect to former flags of the United States, such as the 48-star flag that preceded the admission of Alaska and Hawaii, or the original 13-star Betsy Ross flag, or how far from the traditional definition of a flag a symbol could deviate (for example, having orange stripes instead of red) before falling out of the ambit of the amendment's jurisdiction.
The First Amendment Center concluded that the Supreme Court was likely to interpret this language narrowly, resulting in decisions that would not satisfy either proponents or opponents of the proposed amendment. Other possible interpretive issues were not addressed by the First Amendment Center report.
First, no scope is stated in the amendment. The Supreme Court has previously held that Congress may prohibit foreign acts that have an effect in the United States. The Hartford Fire Insurance Co. v. California, 509 U.S. 764 (1993), and certainly the desecration of the flag on foreign soil would likely have the intended effect of offending United States citizens. The general rule is, however, that a law does not apply outside the United States unless the language of the law expressly provides for such an application. It is, therefore, unclear whether Congress would be able to prescribe punishments for those who burn the flag of the United States in a foreign country.
Second, the amendment would empower Congress to act, but not the states. Congress might interpret the amendment as giving it the power to ratify state laws to this effect, as it does for interstate compacts. The Court may find that the amendment has a preemptive effect, acting as a bar to bodies other than Congress passing such regulations. If so, then cases involving flag desecration would likely be restricted to the U.S. federal courts, as are cases involving criminal violations of copyright law. These are the only criminal courts over which Congress has jurisdiction to permit federal crimes to be heard.
All of these questions would necessarily await the interpretative role of the courts, and such a process would likely require several years for the resolution of each issue.

Thompson is irreplaceable cog
Forward's journey makes her irreplaceable to Oklahoma
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Before it could even really feel like an epically bad start, something to be rued throughout the summer -- if not forever -- Amanda Thompson's tea kettle really started to boil.
Her Oklahoma Sooners simply had to get their act together. This was not going to be her last game. There was no chance her team was getting blown out. Sure, the score was 15-2. So what? Where she'd come from in Chicago, lots of people start life down 15-2. And they never catch up.
Thompson left that city, and all that was good and bad about it, to play for Oklahoma's Sherri Coale, someone who would totally understand her. Now, four years later, near the end of her time with Coale, Thompson was looking around the court in the regional final against Kentucky thinking, "What is this nonsense? What are we doing? Since when don't we play defense?"
The Wildcats were leading 15-2 when Oklahoma turned the ball over again. Meltdown? Was Kentucky just too hot, and headed for a second consecutive upset? Was it a good but not good enough season for the Sooners?
Kentucky's Keyla Snowden missed a 3-pointer, and Thompson snared the rebound. "Got" is way too tame a verb for her rebounds. "Captured," "seized" and "snatched" better fit the visual of Thompson's working the boards.
OU's Nyeshia Stevenson then missed from behind the arc. Thompson grabbed another rebound, the Sooners reset their offense, and Thompson hit a jump shot.
She nailed a 3-pointer 25 seconds later. Just like that, the Sooners' problems were well on their way to being solved. By halftime, OU would lead 43-39, and the Sooners kept increasing the separation after the break. It ended with an 88-68 Oklahoma victory and a second consecutive trip to the Final Four.
It seems that the 46-second stretch where Thompson score five points and had two rebounds had flipped the switch for the Sooners.
"I was like, 'We are not about to have this,'" Thompson said of her thoughts when Oklahoma trailed by 13 points. "I got a little energy. A rebound, a little jump shot -- just kind of released that pressure a little bit. Everybody fed off that, and we took the lead and didn't give it back."
That tiny snippet of less than a minute could serve as a portrait of her career at Oklahoma. The Sooners were playing poorly, and Amanda Thompson was not about to have that.
"Amanda will be the first to tell you there isn't anything that happens on the basketball court that's really hard for her because of things she's had to experience and get through in her life," Coale said. "This is a game. While things may be challenging, nothing's really hard. And I think that is revealed in the way that she plays."
Thompson, a 6-foot-1 forward, was a cog player her first three seasons at Oklahoma -- the kind of cog that isn't very easy for a coach to find, but very necessary, because the machine can't really run without it.
Thompson played through a painful shoulder injury that required surgery after her freshman season.
During last season's Final Four run, Courtney Paris and her double-double streak was usually the focus of attention. Thompson didn't have numbers like the four-time All-American Paris, nor that "spectacular" stand-out skill like Danielle Robinson's speed, nor the 3-point shooting Stevenson's and Whitney Hand's 3-point shooting.
Still, Thompson started most of the Sooners' games, averaging 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds, and once again she got through pain, as an injured tendon in her foot slowed but did not stop her during the 2009 postseason.
Then Thompson, now a senior, was ready for a bigger role when Coale needed her.
"She is as sincere of a kid as I've ever worked with, just incredibly coachable, a sponge," Coale said. "Wants to learn, wants to work, wants to get better. Wants to do the right thing."
Thompson has an artist's mind; she sketches and paints and sees things probably many around her don't. Athletic and frenetic as she is on the court, she is usually slow and deliberate off it, insistent on getting things right in whatever she's doing in the classroom or just in everyday tasks. You are missing something if you look at Thompson and don't see the layers of depth.
It's almost as if Thompson has been around a long time, as if her experiences reach much further back than even a senior's possibly could. If the Internet, cell phones, iPods and digital cameras were suddenly to vanish, Thompson is the type who would be the quickest to adapt.
There is something pleasantly and sweetly old-fashioned about her. She says the person she dedicates her success to is her mother, Wanda Thompson. It hasn't been easy for Wanda to be at many of Amanda's games in person because of the distance from Chicago. But she was in Kansas City to watch the regional semis and the final. Thompson had a combined 30 points and 25 rebounds in those games and was on the all-regional team.
"She was so happy for me, and I am so glad she got to experience it and I got to show her that I've been working for her," Amanda said. "I've been through a shoulder surgery, foot injuries, little stuff, but I didn't let it stop me. I kept working through it.
"It changed me coming [to Oklahoma] -- everybody is so nice. But I just love it; it has made me grow as a person. I know now how to interact with people, to smile and have fun. It's quiet, and I can just be me. That's helped me as a basketball player and a person."
Coale sees Thompson's maturation in one key area -- leadership -- as a pivotal part of this OU journey to the Final Four.
"She came here and wanted to do the right thing all the time. But she didn't necessarily want to demand it of everybody around her," Coale said. "She was of the mind-set, 'I'm going to take care of my business, and what you do is entirely up to you.'
"Sometimes teaching kids to learn how to demand the same from the people around them as they demand from themselves is as tough as anything. Kids fight that sometimes. A.T. didn't. It was hard for her, but she didn't fight it. And she's become an exceptional leader on our team."

Very friendly staff and comfortable bed. The breakfast was pretty good also.
The room had a funny smell
Hotel lobby is totally under renovations. I had to step over and around construction materials and deal with awful chemical smells just to get to the elevator. Phone in room did not work as well as the TV at times. Total disaster.
they were rehabbing the hotel and selling all the old furniture and stuff. Interesting stay
Nothing positive the entire motel was the nastiest place I have ever stayed at
Room was dirty ciggarette ashes and sticky crap on the furniture roaches crawling up the walls I was scared to sleep under the covers so I used a Mardi Gras stuff animal as a pillow and my jacket as covers. Stains of unknown origins on the furniture horrible stay
That I was not murdered
-No working toilet -Unmade Beds -Unwashed Linen -Drug Dealers on stairs -Broken Lock -Everything Else
The staff was very polite. The rooms were cleaned daily.
The door was difficult to close. You had to pull on it hard for it to latch.
Ash bury was cheap and next to the center of town, freeway.
The whole building was old and outdated, and smelled like smoke and mildew. We would have left, but the cancellation policy did not allow it.
Visiting Mobile for a conference and the location was ideal. The room was much nicer than I expected. Staff was very friendly. I was late arriving and the desk clerk who checked me in even called a restaurant to see when they stopped serving dinner.
As a healthy eater, I appreciate the real oatmeal and fruit available at breakfast, but would like a bit more protein. Too many refined carbs, not enough protein. But for most people the breakfast buffet would be a dream.
This was one of the better hotels in downtown.
I LOVED how sophisticated everything looked. From the bathroom to the bedroom. The vaulted ceilings added to the luxury. All of this for an amazing price of 89 / night!
Nothing! It was one of the best experiences I've had up to date. Compared to la quita, I can't believe I paid an extra 10 dollars to get luxury in my room at windgate
The staff is fantastic! The assistant manager was constantly checking on us and talking to us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. And it was so clean and constantly put together.
staff was tremendous very helpful as we had an awkward check out time that they managed to help us with
not many things near by
convenient access
noise from traffic there was a large carpet blower/fan at the end of the hallway to help with cooling?? the hallway was very warm
