Justice League of America
Redirected from Super Friends
this wiki
In the Earth-1A universe, a similar universe to Earth-One, there is a team of the greatest superhero's located on Earth called the Justice League (JL or JLA). Together they protect the Interplanetary Federation as well as the entire universe.
The League was founded in order to accomplish this goal:
|To fight injustice, to right that which is wrong, and to serve all mankind.
— SuperFriends, Narrator
Formation of the Justice League of America
Much of the back-story concerning the formation of the Justice League of America is the same as in the parallel universe of Earth-One;[2] with the exception of the date of formation. Instead of the date being 1960, it was late 1968.
Originally, these heroes operated solely within their own respective territories. With the exception of their super-powered adversaries, they rarely interacted with other heroes.[3][4][5]
The initial Justice League lineup was also the same as the Earth-One universe. It included seven of the Leagues most prominent members: Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman.
Over the next two years Hawkman, Green Arrow, Zatanna, the Atom, Black Canary and several others were added to the roster.[6]
At that time, the Justice League operated from a secret cave, located outside of the small town of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island.
After a year of being a team (1969), the JLA entered a volunteering program to help train young people to become superheroes. Teenager Snapper Carr was the first teenage member or more specifically he was the first Junior Justice League Member.
In 1971, the Martian Manhunter had left Earth when Mars became desolate to help his people search for a new world.
Formation of the SuperFriends
In late 1971, shortly after the Martian Manhunter had left Earth, a group of the Leaguers gathered together and decide to call themselves Superfriends.[7] Because as Superman stated, "the best way for us to combat crime and be prepared for world-wide emergencies is to work together. From now on, we'll be the SuperFriends."[8] The founding members of the Justice League's Superfriends organization consisted of Aquaman, Batman, Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Black Vulcan and Samurai.[9] This is another significant departure from the parallel universe of Earth-One.
The name stuck for years, and over time, the name Superfriends was used to describe all members of the Justice League of America. It was not long before their volunteer organization expanded and they added Marvin White and Wendy Harris, to the Junior SuperFriends.
In 1985, they changed their name again and went by the name "The Super Powers Team."[10]

Initially their headquarters was the Secret Sanctuary located in the caverns of Mount Justice in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. Eventually, with the help of billionaire Bruce Wayne, they were able to establish a suitable headquarters.
The Justice League eventually moved into a satellite above the Earth.[12]
The Justice League also made use of an earth-base, the Hall of Justice, located in Gotham City, but later relocated to Metropolis.[13] The Hall was equipped with an advanced communications network and "Trouble Alert" system. They maintained a relationship with important government officials such as Colonel Wilcox, who often alerted the Super Friends to various global threats, including alien invasions. At first, the Hall was not their primary headquarters, and it only served as a place to train young men and women learning to be superheroes. And the Justice League Satellite continued on as the League's official headquarters.[14] Over time though, the Hall becomes their main headquarters.[15]
|Gathered together from the cosmic reaches of the universe – here in this great Hall of Justice - are the most powerful forces of good ever assembled.

- Delta Probes

- Super Powers Team Space Shuttle
- Having successfully re-introduced a number of their Golden Age superhero characters (Flash, Green Lantern, etc.) during the late 1950s, DC Comics asked writer Gardner Fox to re-introduce the Justice Society of America.[16] Fox, influenced by the popularity of the National Football League and Major League Baseball, decided to change the name of the team from Justice Society to Justice League.[17]
- The Justice League of America first appeared in The Brave and the Bold vol. 1, #28 (1960)[18]
- Sometime in the late 60s or early 70s, Gardner Fox wanted to showcase an even more child-friendly version of the Justice League, hence the SuperFriends were born. The reason that the show was called Superfriends, rather than the Justice League of America was due to the fact that the show was coming out during the Post-Vienam War and a name like Justice League of America seemed to patriotic. Nevertheless the team is still referred to as the JLA, even though it didn't make the title.[?]
- The SuperFriends turned out to be the longest-running version of the Justice League, which ran in various incarnations from 1973 to 1985.

PEM Premiers Immersive Theatre Experience in Historic Gardner-Pingree House
This sounds so incredibly fascinating...
Present Tense Initiative continues with aesthetically visceral, intellectually challenging and emotionally unafraid original work
The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) presents the world premiere of All at Once Upon a Time (or Variations on the Theme of Disappearing) in PEM's historic Gardner-Pingree House on Friday, December 11, at 7:30 pm; Saturday, December 12, at 4 and 8 pm; and Sunday, December 13, at 4 pm. Tickets are available at: http://pem.org/calendar/2015/December.
The museum's Present Tense Initiative, which supports PEM's Composer-in-Residence program, continues to expand the creative range of the museum, as well as access to the museum's historic properties. This immersive and audience-driven theater experience takes place on three floors of the Gardner-Pingree House, a National Historic Landmark that is one of Salem architect Samuel McIntire's finest and best-preserved Federal designs. Intimate and ephemeral, the performance offers a unique perspective into this architectural treasure, allowing participants to explore the elegant and storied home on foot, and come upon surprising and dreamlike happenings, while navigating an exploration into the way we see our environment, ourselves and each other.
All at Once Upon a Time is conceived and directed by Giselle Ty, a freelance opera/theater director based in London and New York. She produces original theatrical works for those seeking a small group experience that excites wonder, curiosity, magic and mystery. Each participant will take a different path through the house, experiencing something unique to them, while the group as a whole explores how deeply we see others and are seen by others and where our truest selves lie -- when we are alone, when we write, in someone else's memory or perhaps in the art we leave behind?
Art lovers hoping for a dose of daring, wonder and living in the moment are welcome, but must be willing to climb creaky stairs, enjoy the company of strangers and unplug from technology for the duration of the performance.

|Neonatal Blue Light Phototherapy and Melanocytic Nevi: A Twin Study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21930537 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background:Neonatal blue light phototherapy (NBLP) has been widely and successfully used for the treatment of neonatal jaundice to reduce the plasma concentration of bilirubin and, hence, to prevent kernicterus. Only a few and controversial data are available in the literature as to how NBLP influences melanocytic nevus development.Objective:Our goal was to conduct a twin study with the aim of better understanding the role of NBLP in melanocytic nevus development. We also investigated the roles of other environmental and constitutional factors in nevus formation.Methods:Fifty-nine monozygotic and dizygotic twins were included in this cross-sectional study. One of the twin members received NBLP, and the other did not. A whole-body skin examination was performed to determine the density of melanocytic skin lesions. The prevalence of benign pigmented uveal lesions was evaluated during a detailed ophthalmologic examination. A standardized questionnaire was used to assess data relating to constitutional, sun-exposure, and other variables. To search for possible gene-environmental interactions involved in the appearance of pigmented lesions, the melanocortin 1 receptor variants and the I439V polymorphism of histidine ammonia-lyase genes were also determined in the enrolled twins.Results:NBLP was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of both cutaneous and uveal melanocytic lesions. No association was found between the examined gene polymorphisms and the number of pigmented alterations in the examined study group.Conclusions:Our data suggest that NBLP could well be a risk factor for melanocytic nevus development. Phototherapy with blue-light lamps is a standard and essential therapeutic modality in neonatal care; therefore, additional in vivo and in vitro studies are necessary to establish its potential long-term adverse effects.

PACIFICA, Calif. (AP) - The first tunnels built in California in more than 50 years are slated to open by the end of the month, allowing motorists to steer clear of an ocean cliff-hanging roadway dubbed Devil's Slide south of San Francisco.
The San Jose Mercury News reports Caltrans announced Tuesday that the twin tunnels along a treacherous stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway will open March 25.
Since Highway 1 opened in 1937 the area has been hit with eight landslides, which have caused costly closures that have devastated communities to the south - Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Princeton and Half Moon Bay.
The tunnels cost $439 million to build and took seven years to complete.
The Tom Lantos Tunnels, named after the late congressman, were paid with federal emergency funds.

Assignments For Registered Students
APLS 201 - Internet
Fall 2010 (always under construction): Last updated 1/18/2011
All assignment exercises MUST be completed in the time period noted--see the individual exercises for the precise due dates. If you have computer problems, you can fax, snail mail, or hand carry your assignments to me. Unless the USCA website or email server or Blackboard are down, you are expected to complete your assignment on time. We will ignore weekends and holidays, since we are a virtual class, and so that you can have about a week to complete each set of assignments. Remember to do the Blackboard questions first, after you read the textbook chapter for each unit, (go to the Blackboard website at https://blackboard.sc.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp and log in there with your Blackboard user name and password, then click on the assignments link), the internet or newspaper assignment second, and the discussion assignment third. Please note that for the time being we are NOT able to use the class list, and instead, we will use the Blackboard discussion forum feature (in Blackboard, click on the discussion board link, and follow the instructions on the posted discussion thread – you can reply to my initial comment to post your comment there, and you should read the comments of your fellow students first!)
Assignments will be updated regularly. Please check back each week rather than relying on the schedule that is posted now.
Note: You may request a
tutor from the
Some information before you get started:
Computer and other problems: I'll give you some wiggle room if your computer crashes, but you have a couple of responsibilities. One is to get in touch with me immediately if you have some kind of a problem (that goes for other kinds of problems, too). As an adult, you are responsible for getting your work done on time and for letting me know if you have some emergency that occurs. Even if your computer is on the fritz and you are not in Aiken, you can make a phone call. I get voice mail on my computer, and our administrative assistant takes messages. We also have a fax machine, and you can fax something to me in an emergency from a commercial venue where they have faxes available. Or finally, mail in your assignment using a stamp via the US mail, or send me a letter explaining why you have not done your work. Don't just disappear. A second responsibility is to plan ahead and manage your time. No professor is very sympathetic when you wait until the last minute to do your work, and then experience a computer crash or personal issue. As my son's band director used to say, "Early is on time, on time is late." It's a good philosophy!
Extra credit events (check back for updates!) - Events will be posted on the extra credit link as they occur. You cannot use an extra credit event for ICE credit and also receive extra credit in my class, though.
Web assignments: You will need to follow the instructions and click on the link to a web page. This portion of your assignment requires you to apply what you have learned and often, to see what real world application you can find. These will help you to put you learn in a real world context. Again, click on the link to answer and type in your response to send it to me. This will be labeled as an Internet Assignment. Be sure to write "Internet Assignment 1" in the subject line when you send me your answer. Email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Newspaper assignments: For each
newspaper assignment, you should find an article in a reputable online
newspaper (see list on syllabus for typical sources), or similar paper
newspaper if you prefer (in that case, you will have to give me a page number
instead of a url). This must be a current article, written within the last two
days and is due by midnight on the final day listed for the newspaper
assignment. The subject of the article should be a topic that reinforces
something you read about in the chapter (so for the assignment for unit 2 on
the Constitution you may want to choose an article that illustrates one of the
key terms in the chapter, like supremacy clause or judicial activism, for
example. You are not limited to this approach of using key terms, but I am
simply giving you some examples. For the second unit, your newspaper assignment
should illustrate something from the
Remember that the web and newspaper assignments are worth 3 points each, and the initial discussion responses are worth 2 points each. For the Blackboard test mastery questions, you will simply answer on the Blackboard website for your class, and there will be 20 points for each chapter, 220 points in all.
A friendly warning: many of today's students think it is fine to simply copy words and ideas off the Internet, especially without any attribution. This is plagiarism, the stealing of someone else's ideas and words, regardless of whether the article you find has an author's name after it. Closely paraphrasing, where you just change a few words, is no different. I want to stress that if you engage in this practice, I will give you an automatic F on the assignment and I will follow the University Judicial Procedure for Violations of Academic Integrity (see your Student Handbook for specifics). In other words, this is a violation of academic integrity. Don't take these kinds of shortcuts – it's dishonest and it's morally wrong. It also violates my policy and university policy. I also note that I expect you to do your own work for assignments. If I ask you to read something and comment on it, I want your ideas, not someone else's. You may not use Wikipedia or similar sources, even with attribution. You will receive an F on any assignment where you do so, unless I have specifically given permission in writing, an extremely rare occurrence.
Getting to Know You: Aug. 19–23 (Thurs-Mon) – a. This will count as your first assignment for this class. Go to Blackboard, log in, and click on the link for discussions. If you cannot log in or get an error message, you may need a new password, although it will simply give you an error message. If so, click on the link for passwords and read the instructions, which require you to go to VIP and log in there in order to create a new Blackboard password. Go figure. If all else fails, consult the CSD Help Desk folks and they will assist you in getting up and running.
I have created a discussion forum on Blackboard entitled "Getting to Know You" and started a discussion thread there. You should introduce yourself to everyone after you read any posted comments by others. State your name, your class in school and major, where you are from, and tell us something about yourself that you would like to share. What do you like to do, how do you like to spend your free time, what are your hopes and dreams? Also, share with us one piece of information, something you know about American politics! Be sure you read what others have posted before you post your response, as I will not give you credit if you simply parrot or repeat what someone else says (this goes for all discussion assignments). Complete this assignment by Mon. Aug. 23 at midnight. For each unit, you should read the appropriate chapter before you do the assignment! With the exception of the "Getting to Know You" assignment, do the discussion questions after you complete the Blackboard mastery questions and web or newspaper assignments, please! Note: for the time being we will use this feature on Blackboard instead of the listserv described in your syllabus, as the listserv is not working (this is what happens when they decide to do an upgrade – haven't they ever heard the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?").
b. Web/newspaper assignment— Aug. 24-26 (Tues-Thurs) – (Note general instructions at the top of this page for web assignments). Please read and comment on the following in a one page essay. "Emotions Flare After Immigration Law is Blocked," (New York Times). This article touches on a controversial issue, illegal immigration, and some of the problems that surround it, including the problems involved with enforcement of the nation's laws and racial profiling. It also inevitably addresses the question of individual privacy and how far government should go. What are your thoughts here? And if you were stopped, could you prove you were a citizen or a legal resident alien? Should everyone have to carry identifying documents just to prove they are not criminals? Or does the greater good subsume those individual rights? As you will see after you complete unit 1, this also taps into your own political ideology. You will know what that means by the end of next week! Send your response to email@example.com by midnight on Aug. 26. Send in the body of an email – no attachments!
Unit 1: Introduction—Aug. 27-Sept. 2 (Fri-Thurs):
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 1 by going to
the Blackboard
website. These are due by Mon. Aug. 30 at midnight. Be sure
to read chapter 1 before you answer these questions! Do these on the
Blackboard website. Do NOT send them to me! I will access your scores via Blackboard.
You should be able to click on "assignments" to get to the unit 1 questions. Be
sure to check it out no later than Thurs or early on Fri to make sure you have
a user id and password that work, and that you understand what to do, so you
can contact the Computer Services Help Desk or the Blackboard people in
Tues. Aug. 31 8 pm Speech by President Obama. See extra credit link for details.
b. Web assignment: Due Wed. Sept. 1 at midnight. Political scientists have developed much more complex ideological schemes than the one presented in this chapter. Here's a brief ideology quiz that looks at the two key dimensions of your views on how much government should do in regulating the economy and regulating people's private lives. Take the World's Smallest Political Quiz and then write a paragraph where you indicate whether you fit where you thought you would or not, and why. Were you surprised at the results? This quiz is oversimplified, of course, so let me know what additional dimensions or types of questions you think would be helpful in determining people's attitudes about politics and government. Email your results (if you do not wish to identify your ideology, summarize your findings) to email@example.com – I will respond to you directly within a day or two, so let me know if you don't hear back from me on a timely basis. And always save a copy of your work and my response, just in case there is a grading error!
c. Discussion question: Due Thurs. Sept. 2 at midnight. Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com – The question of finding the right balance between security and privacy is a pressing one in democratic societies today. A terrorist incident highlights this for us. I am going to ask you to read the following New York Times newspaper article and comment. What is the right balance between privacy and security? Do you mind being searched or scanned? Suppose your scan was published on the Internet? Or is it worth it to be safer? "Debate Over Full Body Scans vs Invasion of Privacy Flares Anew After Incident." Or read: "Annoyances Mount Over the Body Scanner" (July 19, 2010, New York Times). Note: I went through this process myself this summer when I was traveling – I'll comment after all of your responses have come in!
Unit 2: The Constitution---Sept. 3-9 (Fri-Thurs)
Mon. Sept. 6—Labor Day holiday – university closed
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 2 by midnight on Tues. Sept. 7. Be sure to read chapter 2 before you answer these questions! (I will not make this point for the rest of the units! I'm sure you have figured it out!)
b. Newspaper assignment: Due Wed. Sept. 8 at midnight. (Note general
instructions at top of this page for newspaper assignments). Find a current
newspaper article, something that was in the newspaper, online or paper
version, in the past two days before you submit the assignment or before
it was due. This article should illustrate something you read about in chapter
2. This may involve some critical thinking on your part, as you probably won't
find a specific article that addresses the Constitution (don't do a web search
using the word "Constitution!"), but it will probably illustrate an idea or
issue or principle of the Constitution. You will find lots of news stories that
illustrate constitutional principles like the separation of powers, rule of
law, checks and balances, limits on and powers of states, etc, if you read the
news! Summarize the article in your own words, and indicate what it illustrates
from the chapter. Be very specific. You should have two separate paragraphs
here. Spelling and grammar do count! Give me the name of the newspaper, the
title of the article, the date, and the url or page number. Send this to firstname.lastname@example.com
. Note: be sure you are able to distinguish between articles that address state
law and policy (and constitutions) and federal law and policy (and the
c. Discussion question: Due Thurs. Sept. 9 at midnight. Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com : Suppose you could make one change in the Constitution? What would it be? And why? Caution: Before responding, remember why the Founders gave us a short and sometimes vague document! Be careful what you wish for! Also remember when you respond to be respectful of your classmates and their diversity and beliefs. Please read the comments of others before you make yours, and do not parrot their responses! Each of you must make a well thought out, individual response! You will not get credit for a response that just agrees with someone else or duplicates what they said! Early bird gets the worm!
Unit 3: The Legislative Branch---Sept. 10-16 (Fri-Thurs)
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 3 by midnight on Tues. Sept. 14.
b. Web assignment: Due Wed. Sept. 15 at midnight. A. Find the names of the current Senate Majority Leader and Minority Leader (go to www.senate.gov ). Then find the name of the current Speaker of the House and the Republican leader (go to www.house.gov ). Third, look at the committees and subcommittees in the House and Senate. How many are there in the Senate and how many are there in the House? What committees and subcommittees would you want to serve on if you were in Congress, and why? Remember what you read about this in your text! Be specific, and if you are not sure, do some research so you can learn more about the needs and interests of your state and community. Your response should reflect what you read in the text, in terms of the reasons people want to serve on a particular committee and subcommittee. You should be able to pick one committee and one subcommittee, in either the House or the Senate. B. You Tube video – Schoolhouse Rock – on how a bill becomes a law – 3minutes long! Leaves out a few details, but gives you the overall picture. How accurate is this? What did they omit? Comment in a sentence or two. Email all of this to me at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Unit 4: The Executive— Sept. 20-26 (Mon-Sun)
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 4 by midnight on Thurs. Sept. 23.
b. Web assignment: Due Fri. Sept. 24 at midnight - go to www.whitehouse.gov and find two things there that illustrate something you read in the chapter. Explain.
c. Discussion question: Due Sun. Sept. 26 at midnight - Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com : Although most texts will refer at least briefly to the roles played by the vice president and others appointed to the offices known as the "institutional presidency," we hear very little about the First Lady's role. This is an informal role since she has no official standing or salary, although she is assigned an office and a staff. First Ladies are also expected to be not only helpmates but to have some policy area they pursue – for Lady Bird Johnson, for example, it was beautification, and for Laura Bush, it was literacy. But the First Lady does far more, serving as an informal advisor to the president, and as a "surrogate" who represents him at home and abroad at many official events. So, what qualifications do you think are needed for a successful First Lady, however you define success? Suppose this was an elected office, instead of one that just occurs by happenstance? Think about her education, her work experience, and even her ability to bake cookies! What qualifications did Michelle Obama bring to the job, and how is she doing so far, after about a year and a half? What about our Second Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, who is working part-time, as did her predecessor, Lynn Cheney? Should a First or Second Lady hold outside employment or just be a helpmate to the president? You don't have to respond to each and every one of these questions, but you should respond to some of them. If you are not familiar with what any of these ladies has been doing, refer to some newspaper sources for more information!
Unit 5: The Bureaucracy—Sept. 27-Oct. 3 (Mon-Sun)
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 5 by midnight on Thurs. Sept. 30.
b. Web assignment: Due Fri. Oct. 1 at midnight- We are going to take a look at e-gov, or electronic government here. Find the webpage for your local government, the city or county where you live, and see what kinds of services are offered entirely over the web, or what kind of information is provided. Cite at least two things, in a separate and detailed paragraph for each. You will have to do more than just look at the governmental entity's home page for this! You should Google the name of the governmental unit, like "City of Aiken" or "Aiken County" to come up with a list of links – then click on the one for your local government's web site.
c. Discussion question: Due Sun. Oct. 3 at midnight - Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com : For this assignment, I am going to ask you to read the following newspaper article and book excerpt, and then comment – but don't read these right before you eat a meal! You should think about what government does and what role it should play here. How much should it do? Should government regulate business? Or is that interfering with the individual rights of that business or corporation? Is there a happy medium? Remember that everything we do costs money, too! Excerpt from "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair "The Maggots in Your Mushrooms." (New York Times).
Unit 6: The Judicial Branch—Oct. 4-10 (Mon-Sun)
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 6 by midnight on Thurs. Oct. 7.
b. Web/newspaper assignment: Due Fri. Oct. 8 at midnight– You have a two part assignment this week. Double points, too!
I. Find out how state judges are chosen in your home state and how long they serve. Find also the qualifications to serve as a state judge in your home state (age, residency, education, anything else legally required). Finally, find out how the name, age, race, and gender of the chief justice of your state's highest court (in most states this is called the Supreme Court, but in some states, like NY, that is not the case, so be careful!). You will have to either find the link for the judiciary on your state government's home page, or Google or Bing it.
II. Read the following NY Times article from Oct. 2, 2010. "Supreme Court Term Offers Hot Issues and Future Hints. Answer the following in few paragraphs – you can send it in with your response about state judges. Why did Justice Kagan recuse herself from several cases, and what difference will it make in the outcome of the cases? What does each of these cases tell you about judicial interpretation and the Constitution – be specific and refer briefly to each.
c. Discussion question: Due Sun. Oct. 10 at midnight - Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com : Before responding, please read the following NY Times article from Sept. 23, 2010: "The Founding Fathers Versus the Tea Party." We have been hearing a lot about the Tea Party in recent months. As recently as last July, observers were saying that they had peaked, but I think most of them would now agree that was a premature assessment! So, what have you heard about the Tea Party? And do you agree with their assessment of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution? Why or why not? How should the Supreme Court, which has just gone into session (always starts on the first Monday in October), and which certainly is aware of the political winds, address these concerns as it begins to hear new cases this fall?
Thurs. Oct. 7– Midpoint in semester
Tues. Oct. 12 at 4 pm. Speech by USCA graduate and DHS employee Kelvin Coleman. H and SS 116. Extra credit.
Unit 7: Federalism—Oct. 11-17 (Mon-Sun) - note that this overlaps fall break, which is Thurs. Oct. 14-Fri. Oct. 15. No face to face classes will be held then. If you are going away, please get your assignments in early! Due to fall break, all assignments are due on Sun. night Oct. 17 this week.
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 7 by midnight on Sun. Oct. 17.
b. Web assignment—Due Sun. Oct. 17 at midnight - click on the link for the American states at http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/State_and_Territories.shtml and then pick any two states, other than the one you reside in. Explore these two states and pick any one topic or service, like elections or recreation or health care or tourism or corrections, and compare. In what respects are these two states similar and in what respects are they different or unique, in terms of this one area? Be very specific. Think about what this illustrates about federalism! Remember the concept of states as "laboratories of democracy?"
c. Discussion question: Due Sun. Oct. 17 at midnight - Respond on the class list at email@example.com : To a great extent, federalism centers on the role that states play and the role that the national government plays. Sometimes politicians suggest that the wrong one is in charge of some particular responsibility or service. Governments at some level provide us with police protection, build and repair roads and bridges, run libraries and schools, regulate air quality, run mass transit systems, and even build the infrastructure for broadband service. What they do or don't do affects all of us! Who do you think should be responsible for each of these, and why? Is there any guiding rule we can use to decide which level of government should handle (and pay for) various services? How should we make these decisions? What would you change if you were the federalism czar?
Second Test: Oct. 18-20 (Mon-Wed) –I have posted your test early. All tests must be received by midnight on Wed! This test is essay format and covers units 4, 5, 6, and 7, as well as associated readings.

Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 8 by midnight on Mon. Oct. 25; read the following articles: "Student Suspended for Facebook Page Can Sue," (New York Times, February 16, 2010); "Facebook Acknowledges Privacy Issue with Applications," (New York Times, October 18, 2010) – find link at http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/18/facebook-admits-to-privacy-issue-and-makes-fixes/?scp=1&sq=Facebookk%20privacy&st=cse – please copy and paste.
Assignment: a. Chapter 8 test mastery questions on Blackboard; also write a paragraph commenting on each of the NY Times articles. 1. For the article on the suspended student: Do you see this as a legitimate first amendment issue? Why or why not? Who is in the right here? 2. For the second article: Do you feel that Facebook or other private companies are violating your right to privacy with these practices? How should they handle personal information that you provide to them? Incidentally, where do you find a right to privacy in the Constitution (my question – not discussed in the article!).
Email your response to email@example.com by midnight on Mon. Oct. 25 at midnight. (Due to some Word problems that have messed up a number of the links, I will have to ask you to copy and paste much of this from now on).
b. Newspaper assignment— Due Tues. Oct. 26 at midnight: As noted in instructions above, select a current newspaper article (written no earlier than two days before you submit this) that illustrates something you read in the chapter. Summarize in your own words in a paragraph. In a second paragraph, explain what it illustrates from the chapter, being very specific. Give the date and url or page number, and author and title of article.
c. Discussion question: Due Wed. Oct. 27 at midnight- Respond on the class list at email@example.com : Controversy has long swirled around the meaning of the Second Amendment, and you will recall that this was a "hot button" issue for some in the confirmation hearings for Justice Sonia Sotomayor in the summer of 2009 The June 2008 Supreme Court decision recognizing an individual right to bear arms and the more recent Chicago gun control case will certainly generate yet more controversy and many more court cases. Many states have been relaxing their gun laws in recent years. In late August of 2008 a school board in Texas went one step further than most communities have gone so far. The school board decided to let some teachers in Harrold, Texas, carry concealed guns, arguing that in an era where school shootings are no longer uncommon, it will provide needed security. Naturally, pro-gun groups think this is a good idea, and anti-gun groups (and also, the state's teachers' unions) think it is a bad idea. So, I'm asking you to comment here and let us know what you think. Should teachers be allowed to carry guns in school? Would you want your child to attend a school where the teachers were armed? What about college? How do you feel about having your professors "packing heat?" What about allowing college students to carry guns on campus or even to have them in their cars in the college parking lot? Good idea or bad idea? You should respond to at least some of these questions.
Unit 9: Interest Groups—Oct. 28-Nov. 3 (Thurs-Wed)
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 9 by midnight on Mon. Nov. 1. There will be a couple of questions based on Federalist No. 10, which you should also read prior to completing this assignment.
Federalist No. 10 (read through this document – don't be discouraged by the old fashioned language!). You will have a test question based in part on this essay. There are many links to this document on the web but here is one of them. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed10.asp
b. Web assignment—Due Tues. Nov. 2 at midnight – Search the web for the sites of two different citizen interest groups of your choice. Describe the incentives each group uses to attract members (see the discussion in your text!). Which incentives are solidarity benefits? Which are material benefits? Which are informational benefits? Explain.
Wed. Nov. 3 at 2:30 pm in SAC mezzanine – Open Forum on Civil Discourse – extra credit (go to link –click on it from course home page) – cannot count for both ICE credit and extra credit as per usual.
b. Discussion question: Due Wed. Nov. 3 at midnight - Respond on the class list at email@example.com : Interest groups certainly play a role in influencing policy and often even the outcome of elections. We hear a lot of bad things about them, but as your text points out, they can accomplish some good as well. What is an interest group that you would like to join, and why? Obviously, you will think this group can or is accomplishing some good. You can cite an economic, citizen, or government group in your answer, but be specific about your reasons. Be sure to cite a different interest group than the ones you used in your web assignment!
Tues. Nov. 2 – Election Day – no classes held – be sure to vote!
Unit 10: Political Parties and Elections—Nov. 4-10 (Thurs-Wed)
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 10 by midnight on Mon. Nov. 8.
b. Web assignment—Due Tues. Nov. 9 at midnight – Find a list of third or minor U.S. parties on the Web. Find two that interest you and look at their websites. Describe their issue positions on at least two key issues for each. Think about why these parties might make it or not make it as major parties, if the only factor in success was their issue positions. Remember that everyone presents themselves in the best light possible and as they say, "the devil is in the details" when it comes to policy!
c. Discussion question: Due Wed. Nov. 10 at midnight - Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com : Does it really make a difference if people vote? Do elections change anything? Comment, citing some specific examples from past elections, or referring to candidates, parties and issues of the future. Remember to read the comments that others make first, so your response is not repetitious and I can give you credit for your answer!
Unit 11: Public Opinion, Socialization, and the Media—Nov. 11-17 (Thurs-Wed) – This covers chapter 11 in your text.
a. Complete the Blackboard test mastery questions for unit 11 by midnight on Mon. Nov. 15.
b. Web assignment—Due Tues. Nov. 16 at midnight – 1. A good poll can provide us with all kinds of information. Go to the website of one of the reliable polling organizations, like the PEW Research Center or Gallup at www.gallup.com/home/aspx (Word is messing up so I am asking you to copy and paste these links). Pick a recent poll (in the past month) and read all about it. Then email me at email@example.com by midnight on Sun. Nov. 15 with the following information. Begin with the url, the name of the polling organization, and the title of the poll. Then answer the following: What was the poll about? What were the findings? Be sure to answer each part in your own words. Then look carefully and see how many people were interviewed and what was the margin of error. Also, take a look at the questions. Are these good and neutral questions that do not bias the survey? Explain your answer. 2. Now I am going to ask you to try your hand at answering a poll! Most Americans describe themselves as religious, but how much do you think they really know about religion, whether their own faith or someone else's? Go to the link for the PEW Center's Poll on US Religious Knowledge and take the poll. Then write me a paragraph and tell me how you did!
c. Discussion question: Due Wed. Nov. 17 at midnight - Respond on the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com: In this unit you have read about how the media makes decisions about what is newsworthy. People often complain that nothing good appears in the news, whether in a paper newspaper, on the radio, on television, or on the internet. Think of the stories that have dominated the news in recent months, stories like the release of the female American hiker imprisoned for over a year by Iran, the Russian spy ring, the Gulf Oil Spill, the Fort Hood shootings, the "balloon boy" hoax, Tiger Woods' Thanksgiving weekend accident and his love life, the divorce of Governor and Mrs. Sanford, the volcano in Iceland, and the fiasco over the Republican National Committee paying for staff and donors to go to a sex and bondage club. Before that, it was David Letterman's affairs with staffers, and before that, the arrest of Roman Polanski, the director who fled the US many years ago to avoid prison for the rape of an underage girl. And before that, a story about Casey Dugan, who was kidnapped at age 11, and who was recovered from her captors, along with her two children by him, after 18 years. So I am asking you, what kind of stories capture your attention? What did you read or hear about today or in the last few days? Do you remember any stories about domestic or foreign policy issues? About the budget? What captured your attention, and why?
Wed. Nov. 17 at 6 pm in H and SS 103. Film, "The Other Side of Immigration." Extra credit – see link.
Unit 12: We have finished the text. So I am asking you to complete the following assignments now that you have a better understanding of the American governmental system. We will finish up during the last couple of weeks by looking at several important policy areas that have been and will continue to be in the news.
Nov. 18- 23 (Thurs-Tues):There will be no Blackboard assignment for this unit, which addresses climate change and immigration policy, two important areas. Note: these articles will be updated closer to the time when we will cover the material, in early November. Check back!
Newspaper assignment – Due Mon. Nov. 22 at midnight. I am going to ask you to look at some articles on climate change. Summarize each of these briefly and draw some conclusions here. In your final two paragraphs, answer the following questions. How serious a problem is climate change? What are the obstacles to solving this problem? Based on what you have learned about our governmental system this semester, what can the US do and what is the likelihood that we will act? "In Kansas, Climate Skeptics Embrace Cleaner Energy," New York Times, October 18, 2010; "UK Panel Calls Climate Data Valid," New York Times, March 30, 2010 (copy and paste link at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/science/earth/31climate.html ); "Among Weathercasters, Doubt on Warming," New York Times, March 29, 2010 (copy and paste link at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/science/earth/30warming.html ) "CO2 and the Future: Q and A," New York Times, March 26, 2010; "On Climate Change Efforts, China is Key," New York Times, November 17, 2009; "http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/16/science/earth/16climate.html?_r=1&hpw Obama Hobbled in Fight Against Global Warming," New York Times, November 15, 2009: "Turtles are Casualties of Warming in Costa Rica," New York Times, November 13, 2009.
Discussion question: Due Tues. Nov. 23 at midnight. Please respond to the class list at firstname.lastname@example.com : There are millions of illegal immigrants in the US, and no doubt more will come after the recession ends. We usually hear about what we should do to stop this. But I am going to ask you a question with a different twist. There are also millions of legal immigrants here, people who live in the US, have homes, children in school, working legally, paying taxes. Some of you have professors who fall into that category! But these people cannot vote for the politicians who make the laws, and pass the policies that affect them and their families. Nor can they vote for the politicians who determine what taxes they will pay or for referenda addressing this and other issues. In part, we fought the Revolutionary War over taxation without representation, and we have passed several constitutional amendments to ensure more people the right to vote. In a few communities around the country, legal aliens now can vote in local elections. Good idea or bad idea? What about a constitutional amendment?
Nov. 24-26 (Wed-Fri)—Thanksgiving holiday – university closed – no face to face classes held.
Unit 13: Nov. 29-Dec. 3 (Mon-Fri) – You can do these assignments early if you wish, or over the Thanksgiving holiday, if you prefer. Or you can do them when you come back, during the final week of classes. You decide! There will be no Blackboard questions for this unit. We will discuss foreign policy here as we finish up.
a. Web/newspaper assignment: Read the following articles and summarize each in a paragraph. Comment on what this tells you about US foreign and defense policy and how we should approach the problems we face as a major player on the world scene.
"US Works to Ease China-Japan Conflict," (New York Times, October 30, 2010) copy and paste link or type it in if it doesn't work for you from clicking on this here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/31/world/asia/31diplo.html?hpw
"Bomb Plot Shows Key Role Played by Intelligence," (New York Times, October 31, 2010): http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/world/01terror.html?hp
These assignments may be updated prior to the Thanksgiving holidays, so check back!
b. Discussion question: Due Fri. Dec. 3 at midnight – We will finish this unit with a question that I have posed to several of my classes in previous semesters! You are all old enough to remember the horror of the 9/11 attacks. There is little doubt that a number of nations, such as North Korea, and non-governmental entities like Al Quaeda, wish us harm. Although the Iraq war will probably wind down eventually (although not as soon as Obama originally promised), there will continue to be "hot spots" in the world over time, and we may at some point suffer another attack on our soil. At the moment, the military is meeting its quotas because there are no civilian jobs, but in the recent past they have been so short of recruits that they had to lower standards and take people who normally would not be considered, like people without a high school degree and people with criminal backgrounds. We have had a volunteer military since the end of the Vietnam War a generation or more ago. So here is my question: if circumstances warrant, where the nation is at risk or we have an attack on US soil or simply are unable to recruit enough people voluntarily, should the US reinstitute a draft? How would you feel about a requirement that all young people serve two years in the military, or perhaps, some kind of alternate national service? As citizens, would you be willing to take your turn and serve? If not, why not? Please respond to the class list at email@example.com .
Last day of classes: Dec. 3 (Fri) – all extra credit work is due by midnight today! After today, no extra credit will be accepted.
Reading Days: Dec. 4-5 (Sat-Sun) – Good luck with all of your tests!
Course and Professor Evaluation: Please complete this by Dec. 10, 2010 at 11:59 pm. I will not see your individual responses. I will receive only aggregate data well after the completion of the course. But please do wait until we get to that last week of classes, just like in your face to face classes, so you can give it a valid assessment. My colleague and I would be interested in hearing your comments about the online text, as it is still fairly new! And please let me know what we do that works or doesn't work – your feedback is valuable and helps me improve the course each semester. Please be sure you click on the correct link, as there are other professors teaching online.
Third Test: Dec. 6-7 (Mon-Tues) - all tests must be received by midnight on Tues. Dec. 7! I will try to post your test early so you can work on it before you take your exams in your face to face classes (no promises, but check back!). Be sure you include the honor pledge on your test paper.

Pictured above is Maybelline Color Whsiper Lipstick in Coral Ambition ($7.49 at various retailers), a somewhat toned down, peachy cousin of Petal Rebel that feels so, so good on my lips. Like Petal Rebel, it offers somewhat sheer pigmentation that nourishes my lips with smooth, translucent color, and did I mention that it kind of smells like candy?
Actually, it reminds me of those faux-fruit cereals I ate as a kid. Like Fruity Pebbles...
Oh, and I'm totally digging its sheerness here. For a drugstore lipstick that isn't as heavy on the opaque scale, Coral Ambition delivers smooth, coral pink color in a cinch.
That deserves the "You-are-now-a-staple-in-my-travel-makeup-bag" sort of treatment.
Except it doesn't.
|Obligatory close up shot. Ooh, coral.
ApplicationIf you read my previous review on Petal Rebel, I'll echo the same opinion here--it's smooth, glides easily, and leaves a tint of color that wears easily on most lips. The color is immediate with one swipe; for a strong lip, swipe it over that pucker several times to build up a lovely, coral sheen that's wearable for both work and play.
Oddly enough, Coral Ambition emphasizes my lip imperfections more than Petal Rebel, despite my lips being fully moisturized. It settles unevenly on patchy, wrinkled areas, drawing attention to it rather than disguising it. From afar, the effect is hardly noticeable, but up close can look a bit icky.
|That is totally like the worst eye makeup ever, but here's a before and after shot.
WearMaybelline Color Whispers aren't noted for their staying power, and the same holds true for Coral Ambition. It's more of a tinted lip balm in the sense that it doesn't stay put for longer than an hour; add eating or drinking into the mix and it smudges away easily.
I think some of the blame is due to the way it sits on your lips. Unlike other lipsticks, which sink into the lips and stays put, Coral Ambition smooths over the top without melding with your lips. The result: A lipstick that acts more like a lip gloss but feels like a lip balm.
Odd combination.
|Wearing Coral Ambition. Flash on. Looks kind of like my 300 other pink lipsticks...
ColorOn my lips, Coral Ambition perks up my lips, but only slightly--and this is because this color is close to my lips' natural skin tone. On other lips, this color can look either slightly pink or a very bright, smooth coral, depending on your skin color.
On its own, Coral Ambition looks incredibly flattering, but I think it looks especially lovely on women with darker skin tones, adding a nice pop to the lips.
Would I Repurchase it?I'm teetering on the fence here. Sure, the color is lovely--and it's a nice, moisturizing color too--but I'd rather own a lip balm-stick hybrid that didn't emphasize my lip lines or dry, patchy spots.

While "Whale Wars" has certainly brought the Sea Shepherd some measure of fame, having a Hollywood star onboard for the first leg of their latest campaign has widened the spotlight.
Last week, we reported that "Avatar" actress Michelle Rodriguez was joining the SS on training exercises en route to Hobart, Australia. The 32-year-old had originally intended to stay with the conservation org through the entirety of Operation No Compromise, but modified her plans in lieu of filming conflicts. Nevertheless, she's been donating her time learning the ropes of daily life on the MY Steve Irwin. According to News.com.au, though she departs the group this week, she's planning on staying for all of the 2011 campaign.
"I will dedicate a lot of my sweat and my time and devote a big percentage of it to this, to the preservation of life because I can't sit back and not do anything knowing how wrong it is, not to care about tomorrow," she told the paper via satellite phone.
Check out some additional pics via Sea Shepherd below.

A new report, "Low Quality Education as a Poverty Trap" by the Social Policy Research Group at Stellenbosch University, has provided a troubling assessment of the quality of education available to children in South Africa. The study reports that by age eight, school children from the most affluent 20 percent of South Africa's population were already far outperforming children from poorer families, showing stark distinctions between the prospects of children from poorer communities and those from more affluent communities at an early age.
The top 20 percent of state schools have adequate facilities and attract the best teachers, mostly because they charge tuition fees.
In order to improve schools in poor areas, government spending on the poorest fifth of schools is roughly six times higher than spending on the richest fifth of schools, excluding teacher pay and other forms of "personnel spending." Despite this, education quality has remained disappointing. Even though South Africa is one of the wealthiest countries on the continent, learning outcomes are uneven. The South African government is on the right track budget-wise, having allocated $28 billion, or 21 percent of its FY2011/12 budget to education.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, researchers found job prospects for children leaving schools were determined both by the number of years of schooling they received, as well as by the quality of that education. Education is a proven tool. Even a few years of quality education can reduce infant mortality and increase lifetime wages, helping children escape the cycle of poverty, even if they were born into the poorest 20 percent.

Eagles' Boys' Golfers Looking to Improve in 2014
Posted By Sports On March 27, 2014 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Falling a bit short in the playoffs last year, the Pella Christian boys' golf team is ready and rarin' to go in 2014 with their sights set high. One benefit for the team and head coach, Jim Dingeman, is that the whole team is back from last season as there were no seniors. Dingeman says that the team's goals are fairly basic, but they have still set the bar high for themselves. The Eagles' coach adds that they hope to be outside at some point this week with their first meet of the season coming up shortly, a week from Monday against Pella.

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (22-1) retained his title Saturday night in the main event of UFC's annual Super Bowl weekend card.

since you just became a member, you didn't see that missing the free throws was discussed.
Old Tom Crean's possessed display after the game is certainly unusual and definitely news worthy and should be discussed. Tom Crean acted like a complete weirdo. It is all over the sports news and shows today, and you know it.
And, since you are new here, I hope you find out where Bolivia is. You would love it.

The City of Flat Rock's depressed downtown could be getting a shot in the arm soon.
The city was one of six Michigan communities selected to take part in the Michigan Main Street associate level program in 2013.
The city has agreed to receive training in the next year on the basics of Main Street's four-point approach for revitalizing central business districts:
- Organization.
- Promotion.
- Economic restructuring.
- Design.
Mayor Jonathan Dropiewski called Main Street a "well organized program" that could enhance the city's downtown shopping district and make it a "business-friendly" community.
"Michigan's economy cannot thrive without vibrant downtowns," Mayor Dropiewski said. "Main Street creates opportunities for new development and economic growth in downtowns across the state. There's a lot of training and access to experts. It's a very defined process."
The city council unanimously approved a contract with Main Street and to take part in the training.
The agreement will not cost the city anything other than time watching the training sessions online via Webinars. Under terms of the accord, the city must have an individual watch the training sessions and submit bi-annual reports on the use of the four approaches.
Mayor Dropiewski said he would represent the city at the first Webinar scheduled Feb. 13.
The session is intended as an overview presentation and basic training for new communities. The mayor said he would know more about the program after viewing the session.
Training will be provided by staff from the Michigan Main Street Center in Lansing and members of the Selected and Master Level Main Street communities.
The program is part of the governor's placemaking initiative and downtown development efforts. The efforts are based on numerous recent studies showing that investment in downtowns creates vibrant and healthy communities that make the state economically stronger.
More than just city officials will be involved in the program. A broader group of stakeholders also will be engaged, including the city's Downtown Development Authority, Buy Local-Support Downriver Businesses, local merchants, nonprofit organizations and churches, he said.
"The city government can't do it alone," the mayor said. "Our stakeholders also have a vital role to play."
The mayor said he's excited what the Main Street program can do for Flat Rock, which has seen many businesses close or leave town in the past decade.
"We finally have some momentum going for us," he said. "We have the revitalization of the Kmart plaza, the Riverfest and the Support Local Downtown. These are all steps toward a better community."
As part of the contract, the city is providing at least $1 million of insurance for the program and list Michigan Main Street as an additional insured party.
The other five cities participating at the associate level this year are Alpena, Grayling, Lincoln Park and Port Huron and the Village of Middleville.
Communities wishing to become Michigan Main Street communities or wanting more information about the program can call Laura Krizov at (517) 241-4237.

Younger Son Dropped Latin Class
Just one hour of instruction a week with a paid teacher with a combined skills class did not work out. My son was lost after about six weeks. The kid is in grade 7 not high school. I am guessing that ideally a student would do more than one hour of instruction a week with a foreign language teacher but perhaps I am wrong?
I decided this was not a good fit and pulled him out of the class.
Monetary loss: $500 for the course and about $100 in textbooks.
Add this to the list of this homeschool year's grand plans that failed miserably. Add it to the list of reasons why this is the worst year ever of our homeschool.
We are batting a thousand over here.

The way dead languages are taught is traditionally quite different from the way we teach living languages. Since the goal is not spoken fluency but reading fluency instead, it is something that a student can learn at home without a teacher, if he just follows the instructions.
Since you have all the books, you could try to study Latin along with your son at his pace. Remember, the goal is not to speak it, but rather to learn to read ancient texts.

I think you should be due for a refund since the class is not what you initially paid for. At least half anyway depending on when he dropped it.
Also, I think for a 7th grader a Latin roots work book from The Critical Thinking Company would be a good substitution.
Maybe you can sell the book on eBay.

As a former foreign langugage teacher, nope, you cannot learn a language in one hour a week.
I have Wheelocks. Unless you have a totally-in-love-with-learning-languages, very self-motivated 7th grader, it's way too hard. The only way it would work is if you went really slowly, and did a lot of flashcards and other practice that isn't in the book. I like the program for high school, but not for junior high age students. It gives you the info you need, but you have to be able to design your own study of it according to your learning style. It's good for high school students just learning to do this - it is good prep for completely independent college work.
I'm sorry they changed the program on you. I think they ought to refund the fee, if they combined the classes and changed the text after you signed up.
Last, please do not worry too much about your son starting a foreign language this year - it isn't required, and your kids do a lot already. If you are doing it to improve his standardized test scores in the verbal sections, that can be done more easily by simply memorizing Greek and Latin prefixes, roots, and suffixes. It isn't necessary to learn the language itself (grammar, idioms, culture, etc).
Hope this was helpful...

I also would ask for a refund...for this and the other classes as well. It is not out of line to expect a company that gets paid for its "expertise" in education to provide instruction, materials, and workload suited to the age and level of its students. You were baited and switched...and the one who "pays" is your son.

Since we have the NFP report at the end of the week, I thought it might be instructive to use our lunchtime chart slot each day to look at assorted employment data.
Today's chart comes to us from Jim Bianco of Bianco Research. The chart looks at the Total number of employed people in the US.
Note that in 2011 we are back to levels last seen 1999, 2001 and 2003. But the caveat is that the population has grown substantially since then; On a percentage basis, employment is considerably worse than it was in any of those years . . .

"No" campaign extends lead to 6 points
Our ComRes poll in The Independent on Sunday and Sunday Mirror tomorrow shows the No vote opening up a six-point lead in the referendum campaign.
Since January we have asked the official question, as it will appear on the ballot paper on 5 May:
At present, the UK uses the "first past the post" system to elect MPs to the House of Commons. Should the "alternative vote" system be used instead?
_____________ Jan Feb Mar Now
Yes 36% 40% 34% 37%
No 30% 30% 37% 43%
Don't know 34% 30% 28% 21%
These figures have been adjusted to take into account people's likelihood to turn out to vote. We also asked people a specific question about voting in the referendum:
If there are no local or national elections in my area, it is hardly worth going to vote in the referendum on the voting system on the 5th of May.
Agree: 15%
Disagree: 68%
These "disagree" figures closely match those saying that they are "absolutely certain to vote" in a general election tomorrow.
We also tested referendum voting motivation by asking whether people agreed or disagreed with these statements:
My opinion of Nick Clegg will affect how I vote in the referendum on the voting system on the 5th of May.
Agree: 30%
Disagree: 52%
My opinion of David Cameron will affect how I vote in the referendum on the voting system on the 5th of May.
Agree: 37%
Disagree: 49%
This suggests that the "Yes" campaign could get more out of suggesting that a "Yes" vote would be a vote against David Cameron, in the way that the "No" campaign have urged people who do not like Nick Clegg to vote "No".
Voting intention
Conservative 35% (-2)
Labour 39% (-1)
Lib Dems 10% (-1)
Other 15% (+3)
Figures are compared with Independent on Sunday/ComRes poll, 13 March.
This would translate into a Labour majority of 42 in the House of Commons. Worth noting continued pain for Lib Dems. Just 6 in 10 voters who "think of themselves as Lib Dems" would vote for the party now.
(Data in both tables do not add up to 100% due to rounding.)
Leader ratings
We asked if people agreed or disagreed with the following statements:
Ed Miliband is turning out to be a good leader of the Labour Party.
______________ Dec Jan Now
Agree: 17% 22% 24%
Disagree: 32% 35% 38%
Don't know: 50% 43% 37%
Nick Clegg is turning out to be a good leader of the Liberal Democrats.
______________ Dec Jan Now
Agree: 26% 28% 24%
Disagree: 49% 49% 55%
Don't know: 25% 23% 21%
David Cameron is turning out to be a good Prime Minister.
______________ Dec Jan Now
Agree: 38% 38% 37%
Disagree: 41% 43% 46%
Don't know: 21% 19% 17%
The Coalition, one year on
Thinking back to the general election last year, I wish I had voted differently.
Agree: 16%
Disagree: 72%
Of 2010 Lib Dem voters, 37% wish they'd voted differently.
The coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats has probably worked out better than the Conservatives trying to go it alone.
Agree: 38%
Disagree: 37%
The coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats has probably worked out better than Labour and the Liberal Democrats trying to govern together.
Agree: 40%
Disagree: 36%
I am glad that Gordon Brown is no longer Prime Minister.
Agree: 64%
Disagree: 21%
More than one third of Labour voters (36%) are glad that Gordon Brown is no longer PM.
After nearly a year in government, the Coalition's record is disappointing.
Agree: 56%
Disagree: 29%
Liberal Democrat voters (41%) are twice as likely as Conservative voters (20%) to say that the Coalition's record is disappointing.
A Labour government under Ed Miliband would be better at protecting people's jobs.
Agree: 32% (Jan 30%)
Disagree: 40% (Jan 38%)
Don't know: 27% (Jan 32%)
The Liberal Democrats should pull out of the coalition if they don't get the changes they want to the NHS reorganisation.
Agree: 41%
Disagree: 34%
The fact that David Cameron went to Eton makes it harder for him to be a good Prime Minister for the whole country.
Agree: 30% (Dec 2009 20%)
Disagree: 52% (Dec 2009 70%)
Don't know: 18% (Dec 2009 10%)
Defence policy
It is right for the UK to take military action against Colonel Gaddafi's forces in Libya.
Agree: 41% (35% in March)
Disagree: 39% (43% in March)
The cuts in defence spending announced last year were smaller than in many other government departments, but they went too far and should be looked at again.
Agree: 55%
Disagree: 22%
Royal wedding
William has made a good choice of bride in Kate Middleton.
Agree: 70%
Disagree: 3%
I plan to watch some or all of the Royal Wedding live on television.
Agree: 48%
Disagree: 38%
Women (62%) are far more likely than men (35%) to say they plan to watch on TV.

Customers like to be cared for, but they also like to be in control. When they contact your business they want to know that you will not only get them what they need, but that you will also make it easy for them to do so. In each aspect of your business, find ways to put your customers in charge, and watch how it can grow your business.
1. Give customers options that will help them.
Lots of companies feature a "suggestive" selling tool on their website to show customers other items they might like. Using the tool this way can be helpful, but it is often done primarily with the hope of getting the customer to buy more. What if, instead, you approached it with the intent of helping the customer buy right? The suggestive selling tool on your site can be used to indicate possible substitution items when the product a customer chooses is unavailable, which allows your customer to make a buying choice rather than walking away empty-handed. The same tool can also be used to point out better value items—affording your customers a chance to save on one item so they have the resources left to try other products you offer. Rather than a random service, the tool then becomes a mechanism for avoiding backorders and helping customers to better understand buying options. In the process, it creates a clear-cut path to the checkout. Customers never mind being sold as long you are selling them what they need.
2. Eliminate buyer's remorse between purchase and delivery.
Customers now confidently make buying decisions at lightening speed, but they are still vulnerable during that period of uncertainty called the "delivery window." From the moment they buy, they are waiting. As they wait, their impatience grows, and so does their sense of discontent—with their perceived delay and with your company. Despite this fact, many businesses still do not communicate aggressively with the customer during the delivery process, which leaves the customer feeling helpless. Empower your customers instead by automatically sending them tracking information in a proactive email with a link allowing them to click once and directly chart the progress of a package rather than requiring them to log back onto your site to access their shipping details. This simple follow-up can easily be done with technology from whichever shipper you use. This also allows your sales reps to focus on selling, instead of fielding parcel inquiries. It also allows empowered customers to view the delivery as painless, and remain focused on the satisfaction they felt towards your company when they made the purchase in the first place.
3. Fight for customer feedback.
Now, more than ever before, customers have an easy time finding new products. If they don't find what they want at your company, they can go elsewhere in a matter of seconds. The best way to retain your customers is by keeping their needs in mind at all times, and by letting those needs drive your business. The opportunities to ask for feedback are myriad. For example, allow customers to rate products on your site honestly, but be sure detailed feedback is a requirement in order for a low-star rating to be published. Then make sure to read what the customer did not like about his purchase. If you use the feedback to change your products for the better, you will win the customer back almost every time. And even when you don't, his input becomes a priceless roadmap to do right by the next customer. In the end, customers want what they want for a reason, and all you have to do is enable them to share that reason with you. Giving your customers an easy way to offer feedback lets them vent, and can save you thousands of dollars in product mistakes and lost sales. Make getting feedback the most highly valued aspect of your sales process—more important than sales quotas and calls made—and you will create a powerful organic growth machine.
Customers think like owners when it comes to making purchases—they like control and want to manage their experience carefully so they get what they need. Put the power in their hands in every way you can, and they will love your company for having done so.

Second photo from the fox serie..
I think its a ladie b.t.w
(the story again) Ever since I do photography my wish was to capture a fox (A fox in his own habbitat, not a captured or zoo fox),
only seeing one was a thrill for me..
today I left work early, the weather was so nice, I couldnt stay inside for longer..
so I drove home and grabbed my photogear and drove to my nearby forest,dunes area..
this part of unique holland is used as a filtrating system for the water that goes to Amsterdam (Amsterdam is still a 32km away)
here the water is stored into the dune and forest area,
so there are some waterways and small lake's over here,
this also means its full of dears and foxes.. woehoe
today I was lucky, I may call myself the most lucky men today (finding that for myself),
by spotting this fox and watched him doing his thing.,
he did see me, but I didnt move and only pan the camera on the tripod,
after a half a hour or so, I detached it, and took some more risk to capture this beauty.
Hope you like it.

I have added another section
you won't find on the link buttons (left). This is a collection of some
of Daisy's personal thoughts not long after the funeral along with some
of my own thoughts. I have also included a poem I wrote which for a time
was placed on the wall of the masoleum where Adam rests. The absence of
anything from Tony is understandable. Daisy not only knows that I love
and cared for Adam very much, she is used to confiding in me when it comes
to Steven. Talking to me about Adam came naturally. While Tony and I remain
close, we don't have that same relationship so it is understandable I would
not be able to reveal much about Tony's feelings. Like most men, we often
keep things inside although Tony was the first to share some things with
me about what happened in Oklahoma. The difference in how they related
these things differed in that Tony kept his emotions inside telling me
only the events. Still, I know his heart is broken and he struggles daily
with the loss just as Daisy does. THOUGHTS
What you see below is exactly
how this page looked on May 24th.
24, 2001
4 am (ET) Daisy
talked with Steven who has been keeping unusual hours in order to keep
up with Katie's schedule. Adam remains in "stable" condition with
at least one parent always by his side. One floor of the hospital is set
up like a hotel so Tony and Daisy were fortunate to obtain one of the rooms
just a floor below Adam. One of them can get some rest but secure in knowing
if anything happens they can get to PICU in just a matter of seconds. Daisy
also reported that the incision has not been closed (apparently waiting
for the swelling to subside) and she can see his little heart beating.
While this may conjure a somewhat gruesome picture, it is probably some
kind of comfort for the parents to see Adam's heart doing what it was designed
to do. A heart that has been through so much over the past four years ...
the heart that for a brief time stopped yesterday ... the heart that
Dr. Elkins believes may now last Adam the rest of his life and never need
surgery again.
2:30 pm (CT) At this
moment Adam is undergoing a CAT Scan. It appears they were trying to bring
Adam out of his coma and once again there are some serious problems. Adam
also is battling a temperature of 102° F (39° C) and his blood
pressure continues to fluctuate. Dr. Elkins has advised Daisy not to leave
until Tuesday, at the earliest.
