HOUSTON - From KHOU TV and www.khou.com - A student was arrested Tuesday morning for making a terroristic threat toward North Shore Senior High School on the social networking site, Twitter, according to Galena Park ISD officials.
Law enforcement officials determined the student had no ability to carry out the threat, but took action against the teen for posting the comments.
Galena Park ISD officials are urging parents and guardians to remind students to be mindful of what they post to their social media sites. While the sites are great tools for communication, posting certain comments are against the law and can be hurtful to others, or themselves

Does an 18" or shorter T5HO lamp exist?
My designer specified Lithonia Z T5HO striplights with reflectors for cove lighting above my cabinets. Unfortunately, I have two 18.5" wide cabinets and the smallest T5HO light I can find so far is 22".
My electrician's supllier has suggested LED alternatives that fit, but they cost a lot more and have a much lower lumen output. The cove lighting is an essential part of my total lighting plan because we can't put recessed pot lights in our wood ceiling.
Thanks, David. I asked my GC if we could place them at an angle, and he thought the pattern of light produced would look weird compared to the straight runs on our larger banks of cabinets. I'm not sure if he is right.
I will look at T4s. All 4 banks of cabinets are wired together. Could we stick with the specified Lithonia Z Strip T5HO fixtures on the 2 larger cabinets and use T4s on the 2 smaller cabinets and control them from a single dimmer, or would the 2 types be incompatible?
Here is a link that might be useful: Lithonia Z Strip

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shaw Bros classic,

This review is from: Heroes of the East [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
aka SHAOLIN CHALLENGES NINJA. Had this on VHS back in the late 80s and it was one of those films i just kept on watching.lots of great fights done with real skill and lots of different weapons used,Katana,Tai Chi sword,spear,Tonfa,Three section staff,Nunchaku,Sai and lots more.The fights are filmed with wide shots and few cuts(a Shaw Bros trademark) unlike modern films that think cut,cut,cut makes a good fight,Wrong!.Also this film is different from most 70s/80s kung fu films,in every fight no one is killed,its about who has the best martial skill in a one on one battle,very Buddhist,very Zen....very Soul Calibur! Great film,lots of extras,great DVD(note NTSC).

A. M. Mckenzie "A M McKenzie" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heroes of the East [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I won't labour over the same ground I did in my IMDB review of this brilliant movie, but suffice it to say that it contains some of the best pure kung-fu action sequences ever committed to film - and all without the aid of wires or other special effects. It's simply the extraordinary skills of Liu Chia Hui (Gordon Liu to all you KILL BILL fans) that carry the entire weight of the battle-scenes.
While some have seen this as having an anti-Japanese bias, I would argue that the movie simply takes the position that martial arts originated in China and that Chinese kung fu is layered, complex and subtle where other systems have taken merely some of the elements of kung fu for their own systems, but by no means all. Is one better than the other? That will always be a matter of opinion.
But I urge you to take the opportunity to watch these masters of their craft putting the question to the test ...
5.0 out of 5 stars great!,

You know the quarterback play on your team has been bad, when you are ecstatic about your team acquiring a guy most pundits would describe as mediocre at best. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is on cloud nine about the trade for Carson Palmer. We're not sure how long this excitement will last, but for now Fitzgerald is feeling somewhat rejuvenated. Fitzgerald during a conversation with Darren Urban of Cardinals.com, said "2012 was the most disappointing season of his career." .@larryfitzgerald on Carson Palmer: "I'm coming off the most disappointing season of my career and I'm in 'prove it' mode … — Darren Urban (@Cardschatter) April 2, 2013 Fitzgerald's 798 receiving yards were his lowest numbers of his output since his rookie year, and his four touchdowns were the fewest of any season in his career. Palmer can throw for 4,000 yards in his sleep, so Larry Fitzgerald should be in line for a huge season.

Geez, I'm crossing my fingers that Episode III is going to be good. I mean admit it, George made better movies when he had no money. But having said that, he could surprise us all and deliver a welcomed kick-ass end to the current prequel trilogy. Producer Rick McCallum told the official Star Wars Homing Beacon newsletter that it's full speed ahead on the film. "We get our preliminary first draft of the script next week, which we're very excited about," says McCallum, who is currently overseeing the preparation of Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia. In just over two months, the stages of the motion picture facility will be the used for shooting "Episode III".
"We're currently on schedule to begin on or around June 30, finishing some time in September," says McCallum. Already, the crew down under has enough information from George Lucas to begin construction of environments, props and costumes.
"After that George will be rewriting to a more formal first draft and will keep revising right up until the start of shooting," adds McCallum. "The story he wants to tell is firmly in his head. All the details are stored away in there, without a lot of influence from anyone else. He's been talking a lot about how this movie fits with Episode IV in some very cool and unexpected ways."
It won't be until the summer (or technically, the southern hemisphere's winter) that the actors arrive in Australia, but already Stunt Coordinator Nick Gillard has met briefly with both Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor in the US. "Hayden is coming shortly to begin massive rehearsals, stunt rehearsals. We expect Ewan in the next 4-5 weeks. He's starting to work on all the fight sequences in the movie which I think will be extraordinary," he said.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Aida Mollenkamp, former editor of CHOW and star of both the Food Network and the Cooking Channel, wants to provide the home cook with a go-to kitchen resource. That is why she wrote her new book "Keys to the Kitchen." Marketed as a cookbook, it's much more than that. In the book, she breaks the cooking process down to one simple equation:
Quality Ingredients (The Set-Up) + Kitchen Skills (The How-To) + Technique (The Recipes) + Cooking Method (The Riff) = GOOD FOOD
The host and co-creator of the television show "FoodCrafters" and "Ask Aida," she attended Cornell University and then the esteemed Le Cordon Bleu in Paris where she studied culinary AND pastry arts. She ended up in San Francisco when she became one of the editors of the online food magazine, CHOW. Currently, she's working on her first cookbook, tentatively titled, "Keys to the Kitchen," due out in 2012. Here are Aida's top Bay Area spots for food fiends like herself (that aren't restaurants).

Warm and Wonderful
December 09, 2014
Salt Lake City is experiencing day after day of temperatures for above normal, which usually around 38 degrees. This past week we've enjoyed near 60 degree weather, as well as, the clear blue skies that have accompanied it. Being out of doors is a treat!
Smith and a friend used the weather to full advantage by putting the finishing touches on the community garden greenhouse. Within minutes of completion it was hot and humid inside, just as a greenhouse should be. They'll be building shelves and starting plants as soon as possible.
My morning was spent at Unraveled Sheep checking out Nancy Bush's Estonian Knits sale. I scored a beautiful, and very warm, pair of gloves, thanks to Monica. Where would I be without friends? Cold!
Aren't they pretty?
Sunday the weather was, once again, amazingly warm and, as I was deciding where to take a walk, Susan posted a picture of Red Butte Garden on FB. It only took a few minutes to pull myself together and head on out.
The Garden was the perfect place to be on a warm winter's day and I enjoyed wandering through the dried leaves and bare vines. The plants are at rest, but the beauty of their repose is just as interesting as the greenery and blossoms.

Beaching in Brazil
... too murky, perhaps due to the amount of rain recently, so with our snorkelling hopes gone we headed to the lagoon instead. We had seen paddle boarding there a couple of days before and keen to try our hand at it, went for half hour session with a board each. Although Quinn complained it wasn't exciting enough, it was relaxing to paddle around the calm lake and take in the scenery. We finished off the day by trying one of the fresh coconut drinks that we have seen a lot of so far in ...
Day 69 on route to Florianopolis
... Tom tried to cut into the queue. This meant we went to a less cool place. We still had a laugh though and the drinks were flowing. Later in the night though they had a live band but they weren't very good so we ended the night there. We all ended up the hostel and sat outside chatting for hours. It was so fun and I didn't stop laughing. I went to bed knowing I was at a fun place filled with entertaining people. Tomorrow I'm going surfing. Il let you know how it ...
Paradise in Florianopolis
... us, a double rainbow even came out before the sunset. For Donavon's most famous song, Jess was pulled on stage to sing it to the crowd, the photos are hilarious, she basically steals the mike and pushes donavon away haha. It was probably one of the best days and nights I've ever had! I think people thought we were famous because the next day we all awoke to about 70 notifications on Facebook from people with names along the lines of: Marcelo, Rodrigo, Rodo, Pedro, Tiago, ...
Foha in Floripa
... special picture from me... we got a bus half way (6 hours) and picked up another bus from there (another 4 hours) and only arrived about an hour later than planned.... a little determination goes a long way!

It's easy to pretend that Clara Morgane was never a porn star because she's so pretty and is a good match with the image of a perfect wife that lives in our head. Also, unlike bongo queens like Sasha Grey, she always seemed charmingly unwilling to have enormous objects like tanks rammed up her for cheap thrills. But Clara Morgane was a porn star, and it's important never to forget that. If you were Clara Morgan's boyfriend, for example, and you forgot she was ever a porn star and then went on the internet and saw your beautiful French girlfriend being skewered by some hairy chap with a huge dong you'd get terribly upset. Don't let that guy be you. Don't let that guy be anyone you know. Watch Clara Morgane do porn RIGHT NOW.
But Clara Morgane (whose real name is Emmanuelle Aurélie Munos, which is amazing) escaped from semen fountains and monthly AIDs tests and found her salvation by doing stuff like recording a debut album called DéCLARAtions and presenting TV programmes. Which begs the question: why doesn't this happen in England? Can you imagine how amazing it would if any of Cet Deeley, Fearne Cotton or Holly Willoughby had been porn stars? The controller of the BBC would shit himself.

IGN responds about Chainsaw and "Secret Characters"
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
The origin of the chainsaw as well as the King, Necromancer, and Wizard, and open visor Grey Knight comes from this video.
skip to 4:05 and you'll see the chainsaw and characters
IGN's Hillary Goldstein who was talking in the video has now said "I must have been playing an earlier version of the game." This was in IGN's three red lights podcast when answering reader mail. So... there you have it. They were taken out of the game for one reason or another, most likely being dlc plans.
like ive been sayin to everyone that has some dumb ass idea on how to get the chainsaw or w/e

wHY iS mY charcater so not bald??? all I XCAN Make is this bald wit hair on side craap. i want BALD - goddomspl0icer, on Oblivion characters
So Fulp (friggin' maker of the game) has been lying to us and telling us that it's in the game somewhere when it's really not?
I'll trust him over some IGN lady.
Oh no, it's in the game.
It just needs to be unlocked with a 11kb DLC download.
It's not God I hate, it's his annoying little fan club I can't stand!
lol actually its a guy. I think he sounds like david spade. But Fulp never said that, there was some heresay that somebodys friend asked dan paladin about them and dan said those are secrets that will be revealed later. So that doesn't tell you much either way and maybe he didn't even know they were removed.
lol, 11kb chainsaw unlock..
if thats true, then shame on them..
its already there, why lock it?
Welcome to the business practices of Xbox Live.
It's not God I hate, it's his annoying little fan club I can't stand!
^^ Hillary Goldstein is a guy....
anywho, with the amount of time it's taken so far, I'm starting to lose faith that these items are in the game. I mean, yeah, it's only been a week, but these days with people helping each other in forums, that's a long time.
oh well, I'd buy DLC for this game if it was reasonably priced. If it was like 500 pts for 3 characters or something, I'd probably pass.
If less is more, just think how much more MORE would be.
Yall are assuming they are going to charge for the weapons and characters.
For all you know they are working on more levels and characters that will be included. Stop acting like you know whats going to happen, or that Behemoth did this to make money.

Using the Arduino IDE, we can bring up the Serial Monitor to send and receive data from the Arduino. However, if you're using Windows, this completely ties up the COM port so that it cannot be used for anything else. If your Arduino needs to communication with other piece of software on your PC, that software gets exclusive access to that port so you can no longer use the Serial Monitor. Needless to say, it would be very nice to be able to peek at real data being sent between your PC app and the Arduino. A reliable way I've found to do this in Window is using com0com and hub4com. Here's how it works.
Note on driver types (it is relevant!)
On Windows 8.1 64 bit (and true for 64 bit Vista and Win7 as far as I know) you have 3 types of driver…
- Signed driver – This is preferred. It is how you are used to installing and using windows devices, but the developer must pay for it to be signed. Not an option for com0com.
- Unsigned driver – every time you want to use the unsigned virtual COM ports, you must reboot your PC twice to get to the Allow Unsigned Driver option. It is a pain. This is true of the latest com0com 220.127.116.11. If using 64bit Windows, avoid like the plague
- Test Signed Driver – you can run a simple command line instruction to tell Windows to allow Test-Signed drivers. The setting persists between reboot, so it is convenient. For com0com, this is true for the signed version of 220.127.116.11
Use version 220.127.116.11 because it is signed. When installing, I unchecked the option to add a default pair of COM ports. I preferred a clean start Run the command: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON Once com0com is installed, go and get hub4com, unzip, rename the readme file and copy the whole lot into your com0com folder.
My Scenario
I have an Arduino on COM3, and some PC Software which talks to it, called "PC Lap Counter" (PCLC) – it's a race management solution for slotcar racing. PCLC sends race and lap info to the Arduino over the serial connection, but I want to be able to look in on this info as it is happening.
Step 1: Setup the Virtual COM port Pairs
Step 2: Join the COM port pairs together with hub4com's Routes
hub4com –baud=9600 –octs=off –ox=on –route=0,2:All –no-default-fc-route=0,1:All \\.\CNCB0 \\.\CNCB1 \\.\COM3
Step 3: Snoop away
Using Putty, create a new 'Serial' connection. In the above example, it is connected to COM6 at 9600baud
I've always had an interest in making stuff which interfaces with the world, but in the days before microcontrollers, and without a solid electronics background, making stuff was hard. Much too hard. Flashing an LED with a 555 timer is reasonably straightforward- but anything more and you need a LOT of breadboard space, and a lot more time than I could spare.
Then along came the microcontroller. I can't remember whether I discovered PIC or AVR first, but whenever a new development board was being given away for free or nearly free, I'd be on it. Writing little test programs wasn't overly difficult. Setting up the development environment however, was. Often, between long droughts of development, my PC would have been rebuilt, and I'd lost all that setup time and effort. As far as the programming went, I have always enjoyed low level coding (starting with hand written Z80 machine code on a Sinclair ZX81). But enjoyment wasn't the only goal – a finished project matters. And hour upon hour could be spent at too a low a level to feel like progress was being made.
I heard about Arduino, discovered it was AVR based and had a bootloader – which didn't seems a compelling reason to go with it, since AVRISP programming worked fine. The boards were also far too big, and too expensive compared to the $1 (£1 to me) chips I was used to buying. I was perhaps also swayed by a slight preference towards PICs over AVRs. The Arduino marketing didn't help me either. I read it as "Helping whimsical arty types create pointless trinkets with overpriced, overspecified boards so they don't have to learn the hard way". I liked the hard way. So I wrote Arduino off as a toy.
How wrong I was.
I recently resurrected my childhood love of slot car racing (Scalextric) by building up a reasonable collection of Scalextric Digital track and cars. I explored the PC based Race management Systems which add a whole new dimension. My 'maker' mentality was reawakened at the thought of interfacing with all this digital information flying round the track and doing useful things with it, like a leader board or F1 style start lights (my current project combines these into an 'onmi gantry' – more later). Each of the three PC based Race Management applications supported Arduino in one way or the other. So I put aside old prejudices and ordered a couple of cheap, Chinese clones of the Arduino Pro Mini and FTDI programmer. No bigger than a DIL chip, the Pro Mini appealed to my barebones mentality. After a couple of days reading around the subject, waiting for the slow boat from China to arrive, I bought an Uno. The price was more reasonable than I'd remembered – and all the tutorials referred to them, so I decided, for once, to make things as easy as humanly possible so I could concentrate on getting my project finished. The fact that the Uno can be used to burn the bootloader onto bare Atmel chip was another compelling reason to have an Uno.
I'm now a week into Arduino programming, and I can say I've done more in a week than I would have done in months with a bare AVR/PIC. Having the bootloader does make a big difference. When you can't get a line of code to work… change – upload – test – repeat. Valuable seconds saved dozens of times in a programming session add up to a more pleasurable experience. The fact that I can go to a brand new PC, download the IDE, load up my files from Dropbox and carry on coding from where I left off is also useful. But the real appeal of Arduino is the libraries and other support material. The various hardware shields don't interest me too much, but the libraries developed to support them are amazing. To think, I used to to have to read chip datasheets to write code. Now I download the library and I'm good to go. LCD screens, LED matrices, NeoPixels, Serial communication, I2C sensors – all have superb libraries which mean that getting a project finished is now a real possibility.
Finally, if anyone thinks, as I did, that cheap ARM cored boards spell the death of the 8 bit microcontroller – they are wrong. There are many projects where even an 8MHz processor is technically overkill. My next project is adding realistic looking running lights to an RC Helicopter. It seems ridiculous that such processing power is being used for such a trivial task. But doing it from discreet components would be a huge undertaking without an Electrical Engineering background. The finished project would be so big and heavy that the heli wouldn't be able to lift off! Being able to adjust the timing of the flashing lights with a line of code is awesome compared to swapping out resistors and capacitors. An Arduino Pro Mini does the job nicely for a couple of bucks, and grams. You wouldn't want to use the size and expense of a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone for those kind of tasks!
So, in case you haven't figured it out, I'm a bit pleased with the Arduino. Rather than feeling like I may have missed the boat, I believe it's a good time to start out. The platform is mature, the community solid, the glitches ironed out and libraries already written. So if there are any hardware tinkerers out there who, like me, are stubbornly refusing to take a look at Arduino – Jump on the bandwagon, the ride is surprisingly smooth.
I always preferred VirtualBox's simplicity over the Enterprise class complexity of Windows 8 Hyper-V.
However, in order to get a working Windows Phone 8 Emulator working, you need to use Hyper-V.
Unfortunately when trying to do this, I got an error saying that the virtual switch could not be created. I tried some fixes from StackOverflow and ServerFault, but they didn't work. I couldn't create nay kind of virtual switch in Hyper-V. A common theme from my searching was that VirtualBox was involved.
Uninstalling VirtualBox manually didn't help.
Looking in the registry, I noticed hundreds of network adapters with a VirtualBox driver (just search the registry for 'vbox')
I couldn't delete these keys even with Admin privileges
Apparently I needed to run Regedit as 'System'
THe easiest way to do this was using SysInternals Psexec
C:\Windows\System32\> psexec /i /s regedit
/i means 'interactive', or allow the program to display a UI
/s means run the program as the 'system' user
Because there were so many to delete, it was easier to export the parent key, edit in Notepad, then save as a .reg file and re-import.
After doing this, removing all references to 'vbox' and 'virtualbox' from the registry, deleting other invisible network adapters from the registry, running cccleaner, rebooting, removing Hyper-V from Windows, rebooting again, Adding Hyper-V to windows… I finally got my emulator to work.
Lesson: Don't ever install VirtualBox, stick to Hyper-V (as long as you meet Microsoft's bizarrely restrictive processor requirements of course)
This continues from my last post, and is mostly a reminder to myself!
My .vimrc file, created for VIM on the RaspberryPi, is also usable on gVim in Windows. It's the same 2 steps, fetch using Git, and make a symlink (yes you can do that on Windows too)
Open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator)
cd \users\greg git clone https://github.com/GregWoods/.vim.git vimfiles mklink _vimrc vimfiles\.vimrc
Job done!
Older versions of Windows (such as Windows Server 2003) so not have the mklink command.
Also needed to add an environment variable $HOME
In the case of Windows Server 2003, I set up a user environment variable in System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> User Variables
Variable: $HOME Value: %USERPROFILE%
Requires log off / login
Then create the link (it's a hardlink rather than the softlink which mklink creates. For explanation, see overview-to-understanding-hard-links-junction-points-and-symbolic-links-in-windows )
fsutil hardlinks create _vimrc vimfiles\.vimrc
To VIM or not to VIM. The decades old text editor inspires avid devotion or utter hatred. I fell into the latter camp.
However, now that I'm experimenting with the Raspberry Pi for some hardware projects, it's obvious I need something with more features than the nano editor. VIM pretty universal, will run in a terminal, or a non-GUI linux, and is undeniably fast editing once the steep learning curve is overcome.
So here are some of notes on VIM – particularly,setting up syntax highlighting with a nice colour scheme – a first step in making VIM palatable to my GUI insticts.
Colour Schemes
If I'd spent half the time learning VIM as I'd spent trying to customise the colours, I'd be a VIM Jedi already.
Good Schemes
I particularly like solarized
On Windows (Putty)
If you want any chance of getting the genuine Solarized colors working in VIM through Putty, the colours in Putty must be changed.
The easiest way to do this is with this reg file which sets up some sensible defaults for Putty, including the solarized dark colours
You will need to recreate any existing sessions to get the new defaults
On The Raspberry Pi
Connect and login using Putty. Your shell session will already have the new colour scheme
sudo apt-get install vim cd ~ mkdir .vim cd .vim mkdir colors wget https://raw.github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized/master/colors/solarized.vim vim :e $HOME/.vimrc i (insert mode)
syntax enable
set background=dark
colorscheme solarized
:wq! (save and close)
Now to add my VIM config to source control, we copy it to the .vim folder and symlink it first
cd ~ mv .vimrc .vim/.vimrc ln -s .vim/.vimrc .vimrc cd .vim git init ls -la (shows hidden files) Configure GIT
git config --global user.name "your full name" git config --local user.name "your full name" git config --global user.email "your email id" git config --local user.email "your email id" git config -l
still in the ~/.vim folder…
git add . git commit -m "Initial commit of my vim configuration"
git remote add origin https://github.com/GregWoods/.vim //had to do a git pull first git pull https://github.com/GregWoods/.vim
git push origin master
My VIMconfiguration is now on github.
To install my Vim Config onto a new server…
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/GregWoods/.vim.git .vim
ln -s .vim/.vimrc .vimrc

FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE WACHMAN CENTER CLASSROOM LESSONS: U.S. MILITARY HISTORY War Messages: Spanish -American War & Iraq War Charles Schierloh Progressive Academy of Lima Senior High School Grade: 8-12 Synopsis: Teachers often quote the adage that "History repeats itself." If circumstances are different, does history really repeat itself? Perhaps the best way to study this concept is for students to compare two seemingly similar events to draw comparisons. The Spanish-American War and the Iraq War on the surface appear to be similar. If students analyze William McKinley's War Address to congress and George W. Bush's address to the public on the eve of the Iraq War, they may be able to decide if in this case history did repeat itself. Background Material: Brian McAllister Linn presentation on the Spanish- American War and Philippine War, at http://www.fpri.org/footnotes/1322.200809.linn.spamphilippinewar.html National History Standards: Era 7, The Emergence of Modern America (1890-1930) Standard 2: The changing role of the United States in world affairs through World War I Objective (based on Ohio's indicators): 1. Trace the development of the United States as a world power with emphasis on: The Spanish-American War 2. Analyze one or more issues and present a persuasive argument to defend a position. PROCEDURE: Part 1 (2 class periods) – What did the speeches say? This lesson should be used after the students have been introduced to the causes of the Spanish- American War 1. Have students read William McKinley's War Message (Handout 1 below). It can also be found at http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/mkinly2.htm. The teacher may have students read the entire message but the recommended course would be to have students only read the part of the message that is in italics. 2. After the students read the message they should fill in column 1 of Handout 3 below. 3. The students should next read President George W. Bush's televised address to the nation on the eve of the Iraq War (Handout 2 below). The teacher may have students read the entire message but the recommended course would be to have students only read the part of the message that is in italics. 4. After the students read the message they should fill in column 2 of Handout 3. 5. The students should complete Step 3 of Handout 3. 6. The teacher should lead a class discussion on Handout 3. The following questions could be used to guide the discussion. One of the most important questions is "Were there reasons for the start of the Spanish- American/Iraq Wars that were not addressed in speeches of the two presidents?" The teacher needs to be prepared to address these issues. Identify the most important cause of the Spanish-American War. Consider whether the Spanish-American War was fought mainly for economic, geopolitical, humanitarian or military reasons. Consider the role, if any, of terrorism as a factor in the start of the Spanish-American War. Identify any reasons for the start of the Spanish-American War that were not addressed in President McKinley's speech. Identify the most important cause of the Iraq War? Consider whether the Iraq War was fought mainly for economic, geopolitical, humanitarian or military reasons. Consider the role, if any, of terrorism as a factor in the start of the Iraq War. Identify any reasons for the start of the Iraq War that were not addressed in President Bush's speech. List any similarities you find between these speeches. 7. Have the students respond to the following prompt in a well-crafted essay. The length of the essay and the rubric used for scoring will be determined by the needs of your school: The causes of The Spanish- American War and The Iraq War are very similar. In fact a scholar could say they began for the same fundamental reasons. 8. After the essays are scored, divide the class into pairs, each comprising one student who agrees with the prompt and one student who disagrees with the prompt. The pair would then debate the validity of their point of view. Part 2 (1 class period) – What did the words convey? 1. For this activity the students should work in pairs. Give each group a large piece of poster paper. Have the students divide the poster paper into two columns. 2. In one column the students should list any inflammatory words from McKinley's speech. The entire speech should be used for this activity. 3. In the second column the students should write any inflammatory words from Bush's speech. The entire speech should be used for this activity. 4. Hang the poster papers up in the room. 5. Students should have an opportunity to look at the work of about three groups. 6. Have the students decide which president's speech was most inflammatory. This can be done via a class discussion or via a quick writing activity. 7. Ask the students to evaluate why McKinley and Bush used the words they did when giving the speeches. 8. Ask the students to consider whether the political and public relations needs of presidents are the same today as they were a century ago. Handout 1: William McKinley War Message Obedient to that precept of the Constitution which commands the President to give from time to time to the Congress information of the state of the Union and to recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient, it becomes my duty now to address your body with regard to the grave crisis that has arisen in the relations of the United States to Spain by reason of the warfare that for more than three years has raged in the neighboring island of Cuba. I do so because of the intimate connection of the Cuban question with the state of our own Union and the grave relation the course which it is now incumbent upon the nation to adopt must needs bear to the traditional policy of our government if it is to accord with the precepts laid down by the founders of the republic and religiously observed by succeeding administrations to the present day. The present revolution is but the successor of other similar insurrections which have occurred in Cuba against the dominion of Spain, extending over a period of nearly half a century, each of which, during its progress, has subjected the United States to great effort and expense in enforcing its neutrality laws, caused enormous losses to American trade and commerce, caused irritation, annoyance, and disturbance among our citizens, and, by the exercise of cruel, barbarous, and uncivilized practices of warfare, shocked the sensibilities and offended the humane sympathies of our people. Since the present revolution began in February 1895, this country has seen the fertile domain at our threshold ravaged by fire and sword, in the course of a struggle unequaled in the history of the island and rarely paralleled as to the numbers of the combatants and the bitterness of the contest by any revolution of modern times, where a dependent people striving to be free have been opposed by the power of the sovereign state. Our people have beheld a once prosperous community reduced to comparative want, its lucrative commerce virtually paralyzed, its exceptional productiveness diminished, its fields laid waste, its mills in ruins, and its people perishing by tens of thousands from hunger and destitution. We have found ourselves constrained, in the observance of that strict neutrality which our laws enjoin, and which the law of nations commands, to police our own waters and watch our own seaports in prevention of any unlawful act in aid of the Cubans. Our trade has suffered; the capital invested by our citizens in Cuba has been largely lost, and the temper and forbearance of our people have been so sorely tried as to beget a perilous unrest among our own citizens, which has inevitably found its expression from time to time in the national legislature; so that issues wholly external to our own body politic engross attention and stand in the way of that close devotion to domestic advancement that becomes a self-contained commonwealth, whose primal maxim has been the avoidance of all foreign entanglements. All this must needs awaken, and has, indeed, aroused the utmost concern on the part of this government, as well during my predecessor's term as in my own. In April 1896, the evils from which our country suffered through the Cuban war became so onerous that my predecessor made an effort to bring about a peace through the mediation of this government in any way that might tend to an honorable adjustment of the contest between Spain and her revolted colony, on the basis of some effective scheme of self-government for Cuba under the flag and sovereignty of Spain. It failed through the refusal of the Spanish government then in power to consider any form of mediation or, indeed, any plan of settlement which did not begin with the actual submission of the insurgents to the mother country, and then only on such terms as Spain herself might see fit to grant. The war continued unabated. The resistance of the insurgents was in nowise diminished. . . . By the time the present administration took office a year ago, reconcentration -- so called -- had been made effective over the better part of the four central and western provinces -- Santa Clara, Matanzas, Habana, and Pinar del Rio. . . . In this state of affairs, my administration found itself confronted with the grave problem of its duty. My message of last December reviewed the situation and narrated the steps taken with a view to relieving its acuteness and opening the way to some form of honorable settlement. The assassination of the prime minister, Canovas, led to a change of government in Spain. The former administration, pledged to subjugation without concession, gave place to that of a more liberal party, committed long in advance to a policy of reform, involving the wider principle of home rule for Cuba and Puerto Rico. . . . The war in Cuba is of such a nature that short of subjugation or extermination a final military victory for either side seems impracticable. The alternative lies in the physical exhaustion of the one or the other party, or perhaps of both -- a condition which in effect ended the ten years war by the truce of Zanion. The prospect of such a protraction and conclusion of the present strife is a contingency hardly to be contemplated with equanimity by the civilized world, and least of all by the United States, affected and injured as we are, deeply and intimately, by its very existence. Realizing this, it appeared to be my duty, in a spirit of true friendliness, no less to Spain than to the Cubans who have so much to lose by the prolongation of the struggle, to seek to bring about an immediate termination of the war. To this end I submitted, on the 27th ultimo, as a result of much representation and correspondence, through the United States minister at Madrid, propositions to the Spanish government looking to an armistice until October 1 for the negotiation of peace with the good offices of the President. In addition, I asked the immediate revocation of the order of reconcentration, so as to permit the people to return to their farms and the needy to be relieved with provisions and supplies from the United States, cooperating with the Spanish authorities, so as to afford full relief. The reply of the Spanish cabinet was received on the night of the 31st ultimo. It offered, as the means to bring about peace in Cuba, to confide the preparation thereof to the insular parliament, inasmuch as the concurrence of that body would be necessary to reach a final result, it being, however, understood that the powers reserved by the constitution to the central government are not lessened or diminished. As the Cuban parliament does not meet until the 4th of May next, the Spanish government would not object, for its part, to accept at once a suspension of hostilities if asked for by the insurgents from the general in chief, to whom it would pertain, in such case, to determine the duration and conditions of the armistice. The propositions submitted by General Woodford and the reply of the Spanish government were both in the form of brief memoranda, the texts of which are before me, and are substantially in the language above given. The function of the Cuban parliament in the matter of "preparing" peace and the manner of its doing so are not expressed in the Spanish memorandum; but from General Woodford's explanatory reports of preliminary discussions preceding the final conference it is understood that the Spanish government stands ready to give the insular congress full powers to settle the terms of peace with the insurgents -whether by direct negotiation or indirectly by means of legislation does not appear. With this last overture in the direction of immediate peace, and its disappointing reception by Spain, the Executive is brought to the end of his effort. In my annual message of December last I said: Of the untried measures there remained only: Recognition of the insurgents as belligerents; recognition of the independence of Cuba; neutral intervention to end the war by imposing a rational compromise between the contestants, and intervention in favor of one or the other party. I speak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be thought of. That, by our code of morality, would be criminal aggression. Thereupon I reviewed these alternatives, in the light of President Grant's measured words, uttered in 1875, when, after seven years of sanguinary, destructive, and cruel hostilities in Cuba, he reached the conclusion that the recognition of the independence of Cuba was impracticable and indefensible, and that the recognition of belligerence was not warranted by the facts according to the tests of public law. I commented especially upon the latter aspect of the question, pointing out the inconveniences and positive dangers of a recognition of belligerence which, while adding to the already onerous burdens of neutrality within our own jurisdiction, could not in any way extend our influence or effective offices in the territory of hostilities. Nothing has since occurred to change my view in this regard, and I recognize as fully now as then that the issuance of a proclamation of neutrality, by which process the so-called recognition of belligerents is published, could, of itself and unattended by other action, accomplish nothing toward the one end for which we labor -- the instant pacification of Cuba and the cessation of the misery that afflicts the island.... I said in my message of December last, "It is to be seriously considered whether the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond dispute the attributes of statehood which alone can demand the recognition of belligerency in its favor." The same requirement must certainly be no less seriously considered when the graver issue of recognizing independence is in question, for no less positive test can be applied to the greater act than to the lesser; while, on the other hand, the influences and consequences of the struggle upon the internal policy of the recognizing state, which form important factors when the recognition of belligerency is concerned, are secondary, if not rightly eliminable, factors when the real question is whether the community claiming recognition is or is not independent beyond peradventure. Nor from the standpoint of expediency do I think it would be wise or prudent for this government to recognize at the present time the independence of the so-called Cuban Republic. Such recognition is not necessary in order to enable the United States to intervene and pacify the island. To commit this country now to the recognition of any particular government in Cuba might subject us to embarrassing conditions of international obligation toward the organization so recognized. In case of intervention our conduct would be subject to the approval or disapproval of such government. We would be required to submit to its direction and to assume to it the mere relation of a friendly ally. When it shall appear hereafter that there is within the island a government capable of performing the duties and discharging the functions of a separate nation, and having, as a matter of fact, the proper forms and attributes of nationality, such government can be promptly and readily recognized and the relations and interests of the United States with such nation adjusted. There remain the alternative forms of intervention to end the war, either as an impartial neutral by imposing a rational compromise between the contestants, or as the active ally of the one party or the other. As to the first, it is not to be forgotten that during the last few months the relation of the United States has virtually been one of friendly intervention in many ways, each not of itself conclusive, but all tending to the exertion of a potential influence toward an ultimate pacific result, just and honorable to all interests concerned. The spirit of all our acts hitherto has been an earnest, unselfish desire for peace and prosperity in Cuba, untarnished by differences between us and Spain, and unstained by the blood of American citizens. The forcible intervention of the United States as a neutral to stop the war, according to the large dictates of humanity and following many historical precedents where neighboring states have interfered to check the hopeless sacrifices of life by internecine conflicts beyond their borders, is justifiable on rational grounds. It involves, however, hostile constraint upon both the parties to the contest as well to enforce a truce as to guide the eventual settlement. The grounds for such intervention may be briefly summarized as follows: First, in the cause of humanity and to put an end to the barbarities, bloodshed, starvation, and horrible miseries now existing there, and which the parties to the conflict are either unable or unwilling to stop or mitigate. It is no answer to say this is all in another country, belonging to another nation, and is therefore none of our business. It is specially our duty, for it is right at our door. Second, we owe it to our citizens in Cuba to afford them that protection and indemnity for life and property which no government there can or will afford, and to that end to terminate the conditions that deprive them of legal protection. Third, the right to intervene may be justified by the very serious injury to the commerce, trade, and business of our people, and by the wanton destruction of property and devastation of the island. Fourth, and which is of the utmost importance, the present condition of affairs in Cuba is a constant menace to our peace, and entails upon this government an enormous expense. With such a conflict waged for years in an island so near us and with which our people have such trade and business relations; when the lives and liberty of our citizens are in constant danger and their property destroyed and themselves ruined; where our trading vessels are liable to seizure and are seized at our very door by warships of a foreign nation, the expeditions of filibustering that we are powerless to prevent altogether, and the irritating questions and entanglements thus arising -- all these and others that I need not mention, with the resulting strained relations, are a constant menace to our peace, and compel us to keep on a semiwar footing with a nation with which we are at peace. These elements of danger and disorder already pointed out have been strikingly illustrated by a tragic event which has deeply and justly moved the American people. I have already transmitted to Congress the report of the Naval Court of Inquiry on the destruction of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana during the night of the 15th of February. The destruction of that noble vessel has filled the national heart with inexpressible horror. Two hundred and fifty-eight brave sailors and marines and two officers of our Navy, reposing in the fancied security of a friendly harbor, have been hurled to death, grief and want brought to their homes, and sorrow to the nation. The Naval Court of Inquiry, which, it is needless to say, commands the unqualified confidence of the government, was unanimous in its conclusion that the destruction of the Maine was caused by an exterior explosion, that of a submarine mine. It did not assume to place the responsibility. That remains to be fixed. In any event, the destruction of the Maine, by whatever exterior cause, is a patent and impressive proof of a state of things in Cuba that is intolerable. That condition is thus shown to be such that the Spanish government cannot assure safety and security to a vessel of the American Navy in the harbor of Havana on a mission of peace, and rightfully there. . . . The long trial has proved that the object for which Spain has waged the war cannot be attained. The fire of insurrection may flame or may smolder with varying seasons, but it has not been, and it is plain that it cannot be, extinguished by present methods. The only hope of relief and repose from a condition which can no longer be endured is the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the name of civilization, in behalf of endangered American interests which give us the right and the duty to speak and to act, the war in Cuba must stop. In view of these facts and of these considerations, I ask the Congress to authorize and empower the President to take measures to secure a full and final termination of hostilities between the government of Spain and the people of Cuba, and to secure in the island the establishment of a stable government, capable of maintaining order and observing its international obligations, insuring peace and tranquillity and the security of its citizens as well as our own, and to use the military and naval forces of the United States as may be necessary for these purposes. And in the interest of humanity and to aid in preserving the lives of the starving people of the island, I recommend that the distribution of food and supplies be continued, and that an appropriation be made out of the public Treasury to supplement the charity of our citizens. The issue is now with the Congress. It is a solemn responsibility. I have exhausted every effort to relieve the intolerable condition of affairs which is at our doors. Prepared to execute every obligation imposed upon me by the Constitution and the law, I await your action. Yesterday, and since the preparation of the foregoing message, official information was received by me that the latest decree of the queen regent of Spain directs General Blanco, in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to proclaim a suspension of hostilities, the duration and details of which have not yet been communicated to me. This fact with every other pertinent consideration will, I am sure, have your just and careful attention in the solemn deliberations upon which you are about to enter. If this measure attains a successful result, then our aspirations as a Christian, peace-loving people will be realized. If it fails, it will be only another justification for our contemplated action.

Handout # 2 – President Bush's Message to the Nation on the eve of the Iraq War Monday, March 17, 2003 Transcript of President George W. Bush's televised address to the nation: My fellow citizens, events in Iraq have now reached the final days of decision. For more than a decade, the United States and other nations have pursued patient and honorable efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime without war. That regime pledged to reveal and destroy all of its weapons of mass destruction as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Since then, the world has engaged in 12 years of diplomacy. We have passed more than a dozen resolutions in the United Nations Security Council. We have sent hundreds of weapons inspectors to oversee the disarmament of Iraq. Our good faith has not been returned. The Iraqi regime has used diplomacy as a ploy to gain time and advantage. It has uniformly defied Security Council resolutions demanding full disarmament. Over the years, U.N. weapons inspectors have been threatened by Iraqi officials, electronically bugged and systematically deceived. Peaceful efforts to disarm the Iraq regime have failed again and again because we are not dealing with peaceful men. Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. This regime has already used weapons of mass destruction against Iraq's neighbors and against Iraq's people. The regime has a history of reckless aggression in the Middle East. It has a deep hatred of America and our friends and it has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of Al Qaeda. The danger is clear: Using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country or any other. The United States and other nations did nothing to deserve or invite this threat, but we will do everything to defeat it. Instead of drifting along toward tragedy, we will set a course toward safety. Before the day of horror can come, before it is too late to act, this danger will be removed. The United States of America has the sovereign authority to use force in assuring its own national security. That duty falls to me as commander of chief by the oath I have sworn, by the oath I will keep. Recognizing the threat to our country, the United States Congress voted overwhelmingly last year to support the use of force against Iraq. America tried to work with the United Nations to address this threat because we wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. We believe in the mission of the United Nations. One reason the U.N. was founded after the Second World War was to confront aggressive dictators actively and early, before they can attack the innocent and destroy the peace. In the case of Iraq, the Security Council did act in the early 1990s. Under Resolutions 678 and 687, both still in effect, the United States and our allies are authorized to use force in ridding Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. This is not a question of authority, it is a question of will. Last September, I went to the U.N. General Assembly and urged the nations of the world to unite and bring an end to this danger. On November 8th, the Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1441, finding Iraq in material breach of its obligations and vowing serious consequences if Iraq did not fully and immediately disarm. Today, no nation can possibly claim that Iraq has disarmed. And it will not disarm so long as Saddam Hussein holds power. For the last four and a half months, the United States and our allies have worked within the Security Council to enforce that council's longstanding demands. Yet some permanent members of the Security Council have publicly announced that they will veto any resolution that compels the disarmament of Iraq. These governments share our assessment of the danger, but not our resolve to meet it. Many nations, however, do have the resolve and fortitude to act against this threat to peace, and a broad coalition is now gathering to enforce the just demands of the world. The United Nations Security Council has not lived up to its responsibilities, so we will rise to ours. In recent days, some governments in the Middle East have been doing their part. They have delivered public and private messages urging the dictator to leave Iraq so that disarmament can proceed peacefully. He has thus far refused. All the decades of deceit and cruelty have now reached an end. Saddam Hussein and his sons must leave Iraq within 48 hours. Their refusal to do so will result in military conflict commenced at a time of our choosing. For their own safety, all foreign nationals, including journalists and inspectors, should leave Iraq immediately. Many Iraqis can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast, and I have a message for them: If we must begin a military campaign, it will be directed against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you. As our coalition takes away their power, we will deliver the food and medicine you need. We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free. In free Iraq there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbors, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms. The tyrant will soon be gone. The day of your liberation is near. It is too late for Saddam Hussein to remain in power. It is not too late for the Iraq military to act with honor and protect your country, by permitting the peaceful entry of coalition forces to eliminate weapons of mass destruction. Our forces will give Iraqi military units clear instructions on actions they can take to avoid being attack and destroyed. I urge every member of the Iraqi military and intelligence services: If war comes, do not fight for a dying regime that is not worth your own life. And all Iraqi military and civilian personnel should listen carefully to this warning: In any conflict, your fate will depend on your actions. Do not destroy oil wells, a source of wealth that belongs to the Iraqi people. Do not obey any command to use weapons of mass destruction against anyone, including the Iraqi people. War crimes will be prosecuted, war criminals will be punished and it will be no defense to say, "I was just following orders." Should Saddam Hussein choose confrontation, the American people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war and every measure will be taken to win it. Americans understand the costs of conflict because we have paid them in the past. War has no certainty except the certainty of sacrifice. Yet the only way to reduce the harm and duration of war is to apply the full force and might of our military, and we are prepared to do so. If Saddam Hussein attempts to cling to power, he will remain a deadly foe until the end. In desperation, he and terrorist groups might try to conduct terrorist operations against the American people and our friends. These attacks are not inevitable. They are, however, possible. And this very fact underscores the reason we cannot live under the threat of blackmail. The terrorist threat to America and the world will be diminished the moment that Saddam Hussein is disarmed. Our government is on heightened watch against these dangers. Just as we are preparing to ensure victory in Iraq, we are taking further actions to protect our homeland. In recent days, American authorities have expelled from the country certain individuals with ties to Iraqi intelligence services. Among other measures, I have directed additional security at our airports and increased Coast Guard patrols of major seaports. The Department of Homeland Security is working closely with the nation's governors to increase armed security at critical facilities across America. Should enemies strike our country, they would be attempting to shift our attention with panic and weaken our morale with fear. In this, they would fail. No act of theirs can alter the course or shake the resolve of this country. We are a peaceful people, yet we are not a fragile people. And we will not be intimidated by thugs and killers. If our enemies dare to strike us, they and all who have aided them will face fearful consequences. We are now acting because the risks of inaction would be far greater. In one year, or five years, the power of Iraq to inflict harm on all free nations would be multiplied many times over. With these capabilities, Saddam Hussein and his terrorist allies could choose the moment of deadly conflict when they are strongest. We choose to meet that threat now where it arises, before it can appear suddenly in our skies and cities. The cause of peace requires all free nations to recognize new and undeniable realities. In the 20th century, some chose to appease murderous dictators whose threats were allowed to grow into genocide and global war. In this century, when evil men plot chemical, biological and nuclear terror, a policy of appeasement could bring destruction of a kind never before seen on this earth. Terrorists and terrorist states do not reveal these threats with fair notice in formal declarations. And responding to such enemies only after they have struck first is not self defense. It is suicide. The security of the world requires disarming Saddam Hussein now. As we enforce the just demands of the world, we will also honor the deepest commitments of our country. Unlike Saddam Hussein, we believe the Iraqi people are deserving and capable of human liberty, and when the dictator has departed, they can set an example to all the Middle East of a vital and peaceful and self-governing nation. The United States with other countries will work to advance liberty and peace in that region. Our goal will not be achieved overnight, but it can come over time. The power and appeal of human liberty is felt in every life and every land, and the greatest power of freedom is to overcome hatred and violence, and turn the creative gifts of men and women to the pursuits of peace. That is the future we choose. Free nations have a duty to defend our people by uniting against the violent, and tonight, as we have done before, America and our allies accept that responsibility. Good night, and may God continue to bless America.
