O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- After Opening Day in Japan, an exhibition weekend in Los Angeles and yet another opener in Oakland, the Boston Red Sox are finally headed back east from the Far East.
And they're still off to a rock-solid start to their crazy season.Jon Lester pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning and David Ortiz broke open a scoreless game with a two-run homer as the Red Sox beat the Athletics 5-0 on Wednesday.Kevin Youkilis had a double and a run-scoring single while setting the major-league record for consecutive errorless games by a first baseman as the Red Sox defeated the A's for the third time in a four-game series that began last week in Tokyo. Boston won two straight in Oakland, with Lester and Daisuke Matsuzaka carrying the Red Sox until their hitters perk up."We're certainly not on all cylinders," manager Terry Francona said. "That may be part of the trip ... but what they did today was good enough."The Red Sox still aren't done with a 16,000-mile trip that included two exhibitions against Japanese teams and a game in front of 115,300 fans at Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum. Boston has a three-game weekend series in Toronto before finally getting back to Fenway Park.Lester (1-1), who lost his season debut in Japan, didn't allow an Oakland runner to reach second base after the first inning. He retired 10 straight batters before Emil Brown dropped a weak single into right field with two outs in the seventh. Lester then left to a standing ovation from a crowd made up of roughly 75 percent Red Sox fans."I don't think the whole Japan thing is as big a deal as everybody is making it out to be," Lester said. "Sure, it was a long flight, but we had a few days to adjust, and now I think it's fine."Jason Varitek added a ninth-inning homer for Boston and relievers Bryan Corey and Manny Delcarmen completed the shutout for the World Series champions, who held the A's to one run in the last two games.Ortiz was hitless in his first 12 at-bats this season before a fifth-inning single. He followed with a drive over the right-field fence against former Red Sox reliever Alan Embree (0-1) as the A's bullpen wasted Rich Harden's second strong start."I always do, I don't know why," Ortiz said of his penchant for slow starts. "It's about the same this year. It might be a little more crazy because we've been out of the country for a while."Lester was matched by Harden, the injury-plagued right-hander who started just four games last year. He yielded four hits and four walks while striking out six and repeatedly escaping trouble in five innings."I wanted to keep my pitch count down and get a little deeper into the game," Harden said. "But it was one of those ones today where I kind of battled through it and threw a lot of pitches. I didn't really have any quick innings, so there's no point in pushing it. As the season goes on, we're going to extend it, definitely."Harden and Lester faced each other last month in Tokyo, with Harden getting the win with nine strikeouts in six innings of three-hit ball.Youkilis played his 194th consecutive mistake-free game at first base to break Steve Garvey's record for errorless games at their position. Youkilis even made a running, over-the-shoulder catch of Bobby Crosby's foul popup to end the seventh, and he adeptly fielded Jack Cust's grounder to end the game.The A's gave first base to Youkilis in appreciation, and the ball used on his final putout was sent to the Hall of Fame."It's an achievement you never set out to do, but it's a great honor," Youkilis said.Dustin Pedroia and Youkilis drove in runs as the Red Sox hit five consecutive singles to lead off the eighth, and Varitek added his first homer of the season off A's closer Huston Street in the ninth.Oakland managed just seven hits in its first two home games, with the pitching-rich Cleveland Indians arriving Friday."A lot of guys seem to getting into a little lull at the same time," A's manager Bob Geren said. "A lot of the guys that are struggling actually swung the bats well in the spring. Just a couple of them are going through it right now, but they'll be fine."Game notes
Lester is the first Red Sox left-hander to win a game at the Coliseum since May 29, 1995, when Zane Smith beat Dave Stewart. ... Manny Ramirez hit a 399-foot drive to center after Ortiz's homer, but Chris Denorfia leaped to catch it at the fence. Ramirez went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts. ... Boston right fielder J.D. Drew made his season debut, going 1-for-5 with two strikeouts. He hadn't played since his lower back tightened up March 25. ... Garvey set the record with San Diego from June 1983 to April 1985.

The lost prince wrapped by an unbreakable metal box, his faded green shirt reflected on his green shiny eyes. Unnoticed by the living, he was to waste away in Asgard. Not as its king—rightful king, but a mere prisoner who everyone frowned upon and wished he would be sent to a barren moon away from the beautiful kingdom of Odin. Loki pushed away his long and dry hair off his face and let out a soft sigh. He stared into the stainless edges of his cell, always calculating some sort of an escape. He got up and started walking back and forth at his ease. Due to Frigga's plea, Loki was not executed after his trial and he was not quite sure how a God could possibly be. Odin did not find it necessary to send him off to a land known to no one. So Loki was imprisoned for life in Asgard. The Chitauri and whoever was backing him were to come to Asgard to take the tesseract even if Loki was present or not. Loki

Folks who have been awake during the last six months recall that the Republicans opposed raising marginal tax rates on the wealthy as the highest principle of politics and economics. That is why it should have been a huge news story when they proposed a plan that would do exactly this, but only for the less wealthy who fall in that esteemed group they call "job creators." Remarkably the Post article that reported on this change totally ignored this break with Republican theology.

Re: oil vs varnish vs epoxy
I like varnish :-).
We use more durable 2 stage stuff on the interior of some boats, but on my sailboat I keep it simple.
One type of varnish(on everything). Saves creating the usual mess of tins that boats seem to accrue.
I use a Gloss Spar-Varnish by Cloverdale paint. It might not be the most premium brand of varnish, but it's available immediately all over the place in Canada, and is still of good quality. This way if I run out, I can be assured of getting the same product again. I thin with a tiny bit of naptha, and some mineral spirits usually. Naptha(also sold as Clova Thinner #7) and mineral spirits are commonly available.
For something outside in the weather that will eventually likely fail, something that lasts well, is durable, easy to keep up and relatively easy to replace strikes the best balance. For me that's good varnish.
EDIT: Since you're in Canada, try a Cloverdale paint, make sure you tell them it is for a boat, and you need spar varnish! These days due to VOC regulations they are almost selling it like behind the counter drugs at the pharmacy. It doesn't meet VOC regs for household use.

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 head cauliflower, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 portobello mushrooms, diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
Fantastic - a nice gut filling soup for this crazy Montana winter. Add a little red wine and it'll drive the people wild!
Not very flavorful and I followed the recipe exactly.
10 Ratings
I only used one can of beef broth and added a lot of garlic salt and about 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. I also omitted the bag of frozen veggies but took the advice of a prior reviewer and added about 1 c. of red wine. My husband loved it! Topped with aged parmesean and served with fresh beer bread!
This turned out quite good, a really nice soup/stew. Liked the flavor with the peppers and spice, I added more. A quick and easy recipe suggestion that can easliy have different veggies or spices added or substitied to it.
This is a great recipe! I didn't have mushrooms but added a package of Knorr Vegetable soup mix. So yummy!
I'm usually opposed to ground beef in soup, but since I that's all I had, I found this recipe. Not bad! I basically used this as a jump-off point for all the fresh veggies I had sitting around that needed to be used -- a head of cauliflower, bunch of broccoli, carrots, squash, onion. Since I was out of tomatoes, I used a can of tomato paste. Also used two beef bouillon and two chicken/tomato bouillon, since that's what I had. I also wanted to thicken it and stretch it some, so added about a 1/2 cup barley. So, basically I barely followed the recipe at all... but I am of the opinion that it's hard to go wrong making soup. Throw in what you have, throw in some spices, let it simmer and voila: soup. This is a great starting point recipe.
Very easy to make & my kids LOVED it!
This had some heat, and I didn't even add the red pepper flakes! I nixed the cauliflower, added red wine, and halved the beef broth. I used the crockpot (browned beef first) and threw everything in on low to cook all day. DELISH.

This sample came as a surprise men's gift when I purchased a product. I gave it to my husband who usually shaves with shave cream (foam). He hated it but was not specific other than to say he disliked the scent. So I tried it on my legs. I am not a fan either. The texture is gummy and the scent is not appealing. Besides that, it is difficult to rinse off the razor between strokes. Pass for me.
2I try to use products that have all natural or limited artificial ingredients on my face. This shaving cream is great because it is unscented and has many helpful ingredients. I like it because it has a good lather and doesn't irritate my skin. It's perfect for sensitive skin.

Latest update : 2012-11-20
Protesters clash with police in south-eastern China
Clashes erupt between police and residents in a city in south-eastern China. Also, the hacker group Anonymous pledges support to the people of Gaza. And find out how you can now tour the Milky Way with Google.
South east China: protesters clash with police
Overturned police vans surrounded by an angry crowd. This amateur footage was filmed on Saturday night in Fuan city in south-eastern China, when hundreds of protesters clashed with police after a police chase resulted in a road accident.
According to reports from local media, the pile up occurred after a driver sped off to avoid a police patrol carrying out drink driving checks, and went on to collide with three motorcycles and another car, leaving five people injured. But the numerous onlookers became angry when it took about an hour for the first ambulance to arrive.
The police were soon criticized for their slow response to the accident and the time it took for paramedics to arrive. Human rights activists are saying residents have had enough of police corruption and after this incident anger finally boiled over.
Calm we restored to Fuan once the authorities posted a statement online saying there would be a full enquiry into the affair. But the fact remains; there has been a recent proliferation of incidents of this nature across China.
Riots erupted in Luzhou city in central China last month amid claims police officers had beaten a truck driver to death. Spontaneous protests, reflecting growing social discontent in China, and which represent a major challenge for China's new set of leaders.
Gaza conflict: Anonymous hackers target Israel
The Israeli military pursues its campaign of air strikes against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and the IDF continues to make great use of the web to justify its actions, but residents of the Palestinian territories now have the valuable support of hacking group Anonymous in this war of words and pictures currently being waged online.
The Anonymous hackers posted a statement to their website on November 15, which has since been widely shared online; slamming Israel's military operations in Gaza and the toll inflicted on civilians. The group has also issued the Israeli authorities with a warning: end the attacks or feel the group's, quote "full and unbridled wrath".
And members of Anonymous as well as other hacking groups have already got to work. This page lists close to 700 Israeli private and public web sites that were targeted by cyber-attacks over the weekend. They include the Israeli president's official website and that of the armed forces. Homepages were replaced with messages in support of the Palestinian cause and some sites are still down or difficult to access.
Anonymous says the wave of attacks on Israeli sites is only the beginning and it is about to implement the second phase of the operation: bombard the inboxes of Israeli officials with emails condemning the continuous application of military force and denouncing the oppression of the Palestinian population living in the Israeli-occupied territories.
Tour the Milky Way with Google
You can now tour the Milky Way and discover its tens of thousands of planets with Google's new Chrome experiment called "100 000 stars". A hugely enlightening project, making space exploration accessible to all, and giving our solar system a whole new dimension…
Now trending on social networks
This photo is the latest viral sensation: it was taken last Thursday and posted to the White House Flickr page on Saturday. It shows Barack Obama and American gymnast McKayla Maroney pulling the now famous 'not impressed' face she made when she was unable to hide her disappointment at winning silver in the women's vault final at this summer's London Olympic Games. Her pout went viral at the time and it would seem even reached the computer of the US president…
Video of the day
Disguise yourself as a deer during hunting season or play with a bee's nest… there are already all sorts of stupid and idiotic ways of getting killed, so why put your life at risk at railway stations and level crossings. This is the message the Australian authorities are hoping to convey in this short viral video entitled "Dumb Ways to Die". It's part of an awareness campaign targeting public transport passengers, and promoting safety.

Bhaskaran, TA and Venkataswamy, MA and Sujata, M and Keshab, Barai and Bhaumik, SK (2003) Failure analysis of 1st stage compressor rotor blades of an aeroengine. Project Report. National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Blade No. 192 of the 1st stage compressor rotor of an aeroengine had failed by fatigue. The fatigue appears to be of high cycle – low stress type and stress related. It appears most probable that due to modification at the base of the blades, the movement of the blades during engine run was restricted. This might have resulted in improper butting of the dovetail flank of the blades with the disc resulting in fatigue crack initiation. The rubbing at the tip of the blades is secondary in nature and subsequent to the primary fatigue failure of blade No. 192.

Addicted to Bad Boys&Gals ? 7 Ways Boring Love Rocks Your World
When I was 19 years old I remember looking at a couple in the mall, walking hand in hand. She was a Plain Jane and he was a Chubby Charlie. As they gleefully passed me by on the escalator I secretly wondered, "What could such a boring looking couple be so darn happy about?" I felt bad for them and wondered had they ever known the kind of pulsating excitement that can only be delivered compliments of a bad boy or girl.
Back in those days if a guy didn't have an edge, I wasn't interested.
Fast forward 10 years…. After I had been sufficiently cut by enough of those razor sharp edges and thankfully came to my senses, I realized the exuberant edge, keep me on my toes guessing, energy, I was drawn to was drowning me at the same time. All the movies I had watched lead me to believe that passion and sparks were the path to a blissful relationship. I mistook the roller coaster of emotions I was feeling as a sign that "this relationship is alive!". And I kept rolling with it… straight into the ditch of depression, self-doubt, and anxiety. It was as if I was on an unending hamster wheel trying to make sense of nonsense and ending up in the same place again and again.
On more than one occasion I found myself scratching my head, asking, "What have I done to deserve this? I'm a nice girl, why can't I find a nice guy."
The answering was staring me right in the face… well the mirror to be exact.
"I had found plenty of nice guys and when I did, I began to run a script in my mind… NICE IS NICE, BUT OH! SO! BORING…" If there wasn't something to argue about or that undescribable sense of engaging tension was not present by the third or fourth date, I declared the man BORING and moved on.
Then as fate would have it, one of the ' baddest' boys of all pulled the rug straight from underneath my feet, after I discovered he was cheating with the lovely woman, I thought was my trusted friend and business partner.
That was it. I began to move in a new direction and truly give the nice guys I met a chance, if they were willing to do the same.
About six years after I got my head screwed on straight, I met a prince, who is now my husband. He is deliciously BORING, normal, and kind. Make no mistake BORING LOVE can rock your world in millions of ways. Below I've highlighted the top seven.
1. Boring Love is consistent: One of the things that makes bad boys and girls so bad for us, is their innate inability to be consistent. Boring Love calls when he says he will and come through in a pinch. When you open the door to Boring Love slip into a warm inviting bath that used to feel like scalding water. It's impossible to ever feel safe in a relationship when moods, plans, and commitments, change as quickly as the weather.

Is there truely, differences between the standard Mil-Spec 5.56/223 Lowers dimensions, compared to Lowers that say MULTI Caliber, or is this just a fancy marketing twist on words? Del

What the lower has marked on it doesn't really matter. There are pressure differences between .223 and 5.56 NATO rounds, and the chamber for the NATO round is a bit more generous in the leade. So what is important is what the barrel is chambered for. I have seen people shoot 5.56 in a .223 chambered rifle with no problems, and I have seen people shoot them and have blown primers other high pressure signs like flattened primers and ejector marks on the case heads. So, it is not just marketing when people recommend not shooting 5.56 in a rifle that has a barrel with a .223 chamber. But again as far as the marking on the lower goes it could say it was chambered for 40 megawatt plasma rounds, and as long as it is built to original specs it can accept any of the uppers designed to fit a standard AR15.
Thanks, this is what I thought. I do have an AR that does say 223-5.56, so I know it can shoot both rounds without problems, and I know about the higher charge of 5.56 and not firing rounds in a dedicated 223 chamber as it can be unsafe, but seeing the Lowers that say Multi-Caliber made me wonder, if they were special, and were needed, if doing something other than a 223/5.56(or another configuration within this parimeter) build. Not including, having to use AR-10 variations, which is another animal. Del
The milspec lowers are all basically the same. other than the caliber marking, there is basically no difference between a 5.56, and a multi cal lower. It's the upper that changes with the caliber. There MAY be a legal issue though. I think I may have read that if the receiver is marked 5.56, you can only shoot 5.56/.223 out of it legally, but if it says multi, your good to go on everything. I think I read that here on FTF, but it's been awhile. It may be worth looking into.

Nice to meet you, and welcome to MDC! I often feel the same way with my almost two year old - am I doing the right things? Should I be doing different activities? We live in a pretty rural area, so there isn't much in the way of play groups (that aren't solely religiously focused). Hope you meet some people to connect with!

Production of 238Pu is a complex process. At the top level, this process involves the following steps:
Processing of materials prior to irradiation.
Purify neptunium-237 (237Np).
Fabricate 237Np targets.
Irradiation of targets in a nuclear reactor to transform 237Np into 238Pu.
Processing of materials after irradiation.
Extract, separate, and purify 238Pu and the remaining 237Np from the irradiated targets.
Recycle the extracted 237Np so that it can be used to make more targets.
Process the 238Pu so that it can be used to fabricate RPS fuel pellets, which are then assembled into GPHS modules.
The capabilities of existing facilities and the expertise of existing staff at the DOE's Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) make them the best places to carry out the above steps. In particular, there are just two operational reactors in the United States that can enable the production of large amounts of 238Pu (on the order of kilograms per year) in a timely fashion: the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at INL and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at ORNL.
The ATR and HFIR reactors are light-water fission reactors that use enriched uranium as fuel. Both have numerous cylindrical voids at various locations in and around the reactor core where targets can be inserted and irradiated. The rate at which 237Np is transformed into 238Pu will vary greatly according to the location of the 237Np targets in the reactor.
There are nine primary test positions (flux traps) in the ATR.5 Six of these are dedicated full-time to the DOE's Office of Naval Reactors. This office is responsible for developing reactors to power submarines and aircraft carriers for the U.S. Navy. Naval Reactors is the primary customer for the ATR and the primary source of funds used to sustain the ATR.
There are also many other usable positions in the ATR where 237Np targets could be irradiated, although the outer positions have neutron and gamma fields that are an order of magnitude lower than the positions nearest the center of the core. If 237Np targets are placed in all of the core positions except for the six flux traps that are dedicated to Naval Reactors, ATR is thought capable of creating up to 4.6 kg of 238Pu per year using proven, cylindrical 237Np targets and standard reactor operating conditions. Advanced targets with a more complex geometry, which could be introduced later as a process improvement, would increase the yield, perhaps as high as 5.8 kg/year. A yield of 3 to 4 kg/year would allow ATR to produce 238Pu while still supporting the Office of Naval Reactors as well as other users, such as the National Scientific User Facility.
Like the ATR, HFIR also has multiple positions where targets can be irradiated. The DOE's Office of Science is HFIR's primary user. Assuming that HFIR will continue to support its primary mission of neutron science, HFIR can create, at most, about 2 kg/year of 238Pu using standard target designs and reactor operating conditions. However, this would reduce the amount of support that it can provide to secondary activities, such as production of medical and industrial isotopes.
Some test positions tend to produce unacceptably high concentrations of an unwanted Pu isotope (236Pu) in irradiated targets. Unlike 238Pu, the natural decay of 236Pu produces significant gamma radiation, which makes handling and processing of irradiated targets much more difficult and hazardous. Because 236Pu has a half-life of just 2.9 years, if irradiated targets are determined to have too much 236Pu, they are stored until the 236Pu decays sufficiently so that radiation levels are within acceptable limits.
Ultimately, the total amount of 238Pu that the United States can easily produce is limited by the availability of 237Np. Trace amounts of 237Np occur naturally in uranium ores, but as a practical matter, 237Np used for 238Pu production must be artificially produced. 237Np is not currently being produced in the United States, and it would not be easy to restart production. (The existing stockpile was created as a byproduct of Cold War production of nuclear weapons material.) However, the United States has enough 237Np in storage at INL to produce 5 kg of 238Pu per year for more than 50 years.
There are four primary options for initiating domestic production of 238Pu in a timely fashion. All of these options (1) rely exclusively on existing reactors (ATR and/or HFIR) to irradiate 237Np targets, (2) would require new or refurbished processing facilities to fabricate 237Np targets and extract 238Pu from the irradiated targets, and (3) would ship extracted 238Pu to Los Alamos National Laboratory for encapsulation in fuel pellets.6

McAfee And Wind River Announce Strategic Agreement For Security Protection Beyond The PC
RSA Conference:
McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) and Wind River today announced a strategic agreement to develop, market and support security solutions for non-PC devices, specifically embedded and mobile devices. Together McAfee and Wind River will create comprehensive, purpose-built security solutions specifically designed for these increasingly connected devices or networks of devices.
The number of connected devices is increasing exponentially and is expected to grow to 50 billion by 2020, according to internal McAfee estimates. The lion's share of this growth is expected to come from traditional embedded and mobile device market segments such as industrial control, energy management, automotive, national infrastructure, defense, networking and smartphones as well as emerging segments including smart grid, connected home health care, home gateways and tablets. Historically, devices in the embedded market segment were discrete or had limited connectivity. However, today there is a big push to connect these devices to the enterprise and public networks.
This tsunami of connectivity is creating a huge increase in security vulnerabilities. A security breach of an embedded device (e.g., nuclear reactor controls, utility grid, defense communication system) could have serious implications. In addition, embedded devices are now targets of organized crime and nation states as evidenced by the recent Stuxnet attack.
Since embedded devices have technology requirements that differ from traditional IT equipment, namely limited power, memory and performance constraints, traditional security solutions are insufficient. Together McAfee and Wind River will offer purpose-built security and management solutions for this unique and explosive growing market segment. "Embedded devices are everywhere, allowing us to communicate and improve aspects of our daily lives," said Dave DeWalt, president and CEO, McAfee. "These instrumental pieces of our lives also pose a great risk and securing them is imperative. The teaming of McAfee and Wind River will allow us to implement security measures to protect these critical devices and keep people more safe and secure."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Alien and Sedition Acts were four bills that were passed by the Federalists in the 5th United States Congress and signed into law by President John Adams in 1798, the result of the French Revolution and during an undeclared naval war with France, later known as the Quasi-War. Authored by the Federalists, the laws were purported to strengthen national security, but critics argued that they were primarily an attempt to suppress voters who disagreed with the Federalist party.[1]
The Naturalization Act increased the residency requirement for American citizenship from 5 to 14 years. The Alien Friends Act allowed the president to imprison or deport aliens considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States" at any time, while the Alien Enemies Act authorized the president to do the same to any male citizen of a hostile nation, above the age of 14, during times of war. (At the time, the majority of immigrants supported Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans, the political opponents of the Federalists.) Lastly, the controversial Sedition Act restricted speech which was critical of the federal government.
The acts were denounced by Democratic-Republicans and ultimately helped them to victory in the 1800 election, when Thomas Jefferson defeated the incumbent President Adams. The Sedition Act and the Alien Friends Act were allowed to expire in 1800 and 1801, respectively. The Alien Enemies Act, however, remains in effect as 50 USC Sections 21–24.[2] During World War II, it was used to detain, deport and confiscate the property of Japanese, German, Italian, and other Axis nation citizens residing in the United States.[3]
Opposition to Federalists, spurred on by Democratic-Republicans, reached new heights at this time with the Democratic-Republicans supporting France still in the midst of the French Revolution. Some appeared to desire an event similar to the French Revolution to come to the United States to overthrow the government.[4] When Democratic-Republicans in some states refused to enforce federal laws, such as the 1791 whiskey tax, the first tax levied by the national government, and threatened to rebel, Federalists threatened to send in the army to force them to capitulate.[5] As the unrest sweeping Europe was bleeding over into the United States, calls for secession reached unparalleled heights, and the fledgling nation seemed ready to rip itself apart.[5] Some of this was seen by Federalists as having been caused by French and French-sympathizing immigrants.[5] The Alien Act and the Sedition Act were meant to guard against this perceived threat of anarchy.
Democratic-Republicans denounced them, though they did use them after the 1800 election against Federalists.[6] They were a major political issue in the elections of 1798 and 1800. They were very controversial in their own day, as they remain to the present day. Opposition to them resulted in the highly controversial Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, authored by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Prominent prosecutions under the Sedition Act include:
The Democratic-Republicans made the Alien and Sedition Acts an important issue in the 1800 election. Thomas Jefferson, upon assuming the Presidency, pardoned those still serving sentences under the Sedition Act,[21] and their fines were soon repaid,[22] though Jefferson also used the acts to prosecute several of his own critics before the acts expired.[6][23] It has been said that the Alien Acts were aimed at Albert Gallatin; and the Sedition Act aimed at Benjamin Bache's Aurora.[24][25] While government authorities prepared lists of aliens for deportation, many aliens fled the country during the debate over the Alien and Sedition Acts, and Adams never signed a deportation order.[26]
The Alien and Sedition Acts were never appealed to the Supreme Court, whose right of judicial review was not established until Marbury v. Madison in 1803. Subsequent mentions in Supreme Court opinions beginning in the mid-20th century have assumed that the Sedition Act would today be found unconstitutional.[27][28]
Jefferson and James Madison also secretly drafted the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions denouncing the federal legislation, though many other state legislatures strongly opposed these resolutions.[29][30][31] Though the resolutions followed Madison's "interposition" approach, Jefferson advocated nullification and at one point drafted a threat for Kentucky to secede.[32] Jefferson's biographer Dumas Malone argued that this might have gotten Jefferson impeached for treason, had his actions become known at the time.[33] In writing the Kentucky Resolutions, Jefferson warned that, "unless arrested at the threshold," the Alien and Sedition Acts would "necessarily drive these states into revolution and blood." Historian Ron Chernow says of this "he wasn't calling for peaceful protests or civil disobedience: he was calling for outright rebellion, if needed, against the federal government of which he was vice president." Jefferson "thus set forth a radical doctrine of states' rights that effectively undermined the constitution."[34] Chernow argues that neither Jefferson nor Madison sensed that they had sponsored measures as inimical as the Alien and Sedition Acts themselves.[34] Historian Garry Wills argued "Their nullification effort, if others had picked it up, would have been a greater threat to freedom than the misguided [alien and sedition] laws, which were soon rendered feckless by ridicule and electoral pressure"[35] The theoretical damage of the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions was "deep and lasting, and was a recipe for disunion".[34] George Washington was so appalled by them that he told Patrick Henry that if "systematically and pertinaciously pursued", they would "dissolve the union or produce coercion".[34] The influence of Jefferson's doctrine of states' rights reverberated right up to the Civil War and beyond.[5] Future president James Garfield, at the close of the Civil War, said that Jefferson's Kentucky Resolution "contained the germ of nullification and secession, and we are today reaping the fruits".[5]

Abbas II Hilmi Bey (also known as 'Abbās Ḥilmī Pasha) (Arabic: عباس حلمي باشا) (14 July 1874 – 19 December 1944) was the last Khedive of Egypt and Sudan (8 January 1892 – 19 December 1914).[2][nb 1]
Early life[edit]
Abbas II, the great-great-grandson of Muhammad Ali, was born on 14 July 1874.[4] He succeeded his father, Tewfik Pasha, as Khedive of Egypt and Sudan on 8 January 1892. As a boy he visited the United Kingdom, and he had a number of British tutors in Cairo including a governess who taught him English.[5] In a profile of Abbas II, the boys' annual Chums gives a lengthy account of his education.[6] His father established a small school near the Abdin Palace where European, Arab and Turkish masters taught Abbas and his brother Prince Mehemet Ali. An American officer in the Egyptian army took charge of his military training. He attended school at Lausanne,[7] then at the age of twelve he was sent to the Haxius School in Geneva,[citation needed] in preparation for his entry into the Theresianum in Vienna. In addition to Arabic and Turkish, he had good conversational knowledge of English, French and German.[5][7]
He was still in college in Vienna when he assumed the throne of the Khedivate of Egypt upon the sudden death of his father, on 8 January 1892. He was barely of age according to Egyptian law; eighteen in cases of succession to the throne.[5] For some time he did not cooperate very cordially with the United Kingdom, (whose army had occupied Egypt in 1882).[3] As he was young and eager to exercise his new power, he resented the interference of the British Agent and Consul General in Cairo, Sir Evelyn Baring, later made Lord Cromer.[7] At the outset of his reign, Khedive Abbas surrounded himself with a coterie of European advisers who opposed the British occupation of Egypt and Sudan and encouraged the young Khedive to challenge Cromer by replacing his ailing prime minister with a nationalist.[3] At Cromer's behest, Lord Rosebery, the British foreign secretary, sent him a letter stating that the Khedive was obliged to consult the British consul on such issues as cabinet appointments. In January 1894 Abbas, while on an inspection tour of Egyptian army installations near the southern border, the Mahdists being at the time still in control of Sudan, made public remarks disparaging the Egyptian army units commanded by British officers.[3] The British commander of the Egyptian army, Sir Herbert Kitchener, immediately offered to resign. Cromer strongly supported Kitchener and pressed the Khedive and prime minister to retract the Khedive's criticisms of the British officers.[citation needed]
By 1899 he had come to accept British counsels.[8] Also in 1899 British diplomat Alfred Mitchell-Innes was appointed Under-Secretary of State for Finance in Egypt, and in 1900 Abbas paid a second visit to Britain, during which he said he thought the British had done good work in Egypt, and declared himself ready to cooperate with the British officials administering Egypt and Sudan. He gave his formal approval for the establishment of a sound system of native justice, a great reduction in taxation, increased affordable and sound education, the inauguration of the substantial irrigation works at Aswan and Assiut, and the reconquest of Sudan.[7] He displayed more interest in agriculture than in statecraft. His farm of cattle and horses at Qubbah, near Cairo, was a model for agricultural science in Egypt, and he created a similar establishment at Muntazah, near Alexandria. He married the Princess Ikbal Hanem and had several children. Muhammad Abdul Mun'im, the heir-apparent, was born on 20 February 1899.[citation needed]
Abbas no longer publicly opposed the British, but secretly created, supported, and sustained the nationalist movement, which came to be led by Mustafa Kamil. He also funded the anti-British newspaper Al-Mu'ayyad.[3] As Kamil's thrust was increasingly aimed at winning popular support for a National Party, Khedive Abbas publicly distanced himself from the Nationalists. Their demand for a constitutional government, in 1906, was rebuffed by Abbas, and the following year he formed the National Party, led by Mustafa Kamil Pasha, to counter the Ummah Party of the moderates.[3][9] However, in general, he had no real political power. When the Egyptian Army was sent to fight the Mahdi he only found out about it because the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Francis Ferdinand was in Egypt and told him after being informed by a British Army officer about it.[10]
His relations with Cromer's successor, Sir Eldon Gorst, were excellent, and they co-operated in appointing the cabinets headed by Butrus Ghali in 1908 and Muhammad Sa'id in 1910 and in checking the power of the Nationalist Party. The appointment of Kitchener to succeed Gorst in 1912 displeased Abbas, and relations between him and the British deteriorated. Kitchener often complained about "that wicked little Khedive" and wanted to depose him. Lord Kitchener exiled or imprisoned the leaders of the National party.[3]
On 25 July 1914, at the onset of World War I, Abbas was in Constantinople and he was wounded in his hands and cheeks during a failed assassination attempt. On 5 November 1914 when Great Britain declared war on Turkey, he was accused of deserting his country by not returning home forthwith. The British also believed that he was plotting against their rule,[7] as he had attempted to appeal to Egyptians and Sudanese to support the Central Powers and fight the British, so when the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in World War I, the United Kingdom declared Egypt a Sultanate under British protectorate on 18 December 1914 and deposed Abbas.[3][11] Abbas supported the Ottomans in the war, including leading an attack on the Suez Canal. His uncle Hussein Kamel replaced him from 1914 to 1917, with the title of sultan.[3][9] Hussein Kamel the British choices for their Protectorate, issued a series of restrictive orders to strip Abbas of property in Egypt and Sudan and forbade contributions to him. These also barred Abbas from entering Egyptian territory and stripped him of the right to sue in Egyptian courts. This did not prevent his progeny from exercising their rights, however. Abbas finally accepted the new order of things on 12 May 1931 and abdicated. He retired to Switzerland where he wrote The Anglo-Egyptian Settlement (1930).[8] He died at Geneva on 19 December 1944, aged 70.[7][nb 1]
Marriages and issue[edit]
He married for the first time in Cairo on 19 February 1895 to Crimean Ikbal Hanem (Crimean Peninsula, 22 October 1876 - Jerusalem, 10 February 1941) and had six children:[citation needed]
- Princess Emine Hilmi Khanum Efendi (Montaza Palace, Alexandria, 12 February 1895 - 1954), unmarried and without issue
- Princess Atiye Hilmi Khanum Efendi (Cairo, 9 June 1896 - 1971), unmarried and without issue
- Princess Fethiye Hilmi Khanum Efendi (27 November 1897 - 30 November 1923), unmarried and without issue
- Prince/HRH Prince Muhammad Abdel Moneim Bey Efendi, Heir Apparent and Regent of Egypt and Sudan
- Princess Lütfiye Şevket Hilmi (Cairo, 29 September 1900 - ?), married in Istanbul on 5 May 1923 to Omar Muhtar Katırcıoğlu (1902 - Çamlıca, near Üsküdar, Bosphorus, 15 July 1935), and had issue:
- Emine Neşedil Katırcıoğlu (b. 1927), widow and have 3 daughters
- Zehra Kadriye Katırcıoğlu (Istanbul 12 March 1929 - Istanbul 15 May 2012), married Ahmet Cevat Tugay have 4 sons and a daughter
- Prince Muhammed Abdel Kader (4 February 1902 - Montreux, 21 April 1919)
He married for the second time at Çubuklu, Bosphorus, on 1 March 1910 to Hungarian Noblewoman Marianna Török de Szendrö, who took the name Zübeyde Cavidan Hanım (Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, 8 January 1874 - aft. 1951), and divorced her in 1913 without issue.[citation needed]
