Believe me, I don?t want to ruin anybody?s fun preparing for Independence Day celebrations.
Like so many of you, I?ll be out there when July 4 rolls around enjoying family, food and fireworks and toasting everything that makes America great. But I can?t help raising an important question -- one that ought to concern everyone who cares about our country.
Is America, the country that produced the Declaration of Independence, becoming a nation of dependents?
Specifically, are we now a nation of people tethered to government, a society that has abandoned a proud and grand tradition of self-reliance and rugged individualism?
I want to believe the answer is no, but the facts suggest otherwise. A study from The Heritage Foundation called ?The 2005 Index of Dependency? shows that Americans today rely more heavily than ever on government for the money that pays for their education, health care and housing, among other things.
The Index measures the growth rate of federal government services and programs that displace private or community-based services and programs that meet the same needs. It shows that our dependency on government has more than doubled over the last 25 years, rising by 112 percent since 1980. The Index score was 100 that year. By 2004, it had risen to 212.
Take low-cost housing. Before World War II, limited housing assistance was the province of many private, community-based organizations -- churches and local charities, for example. But in the post-war years, that changed as federal and state governments stepped in to provide low-cost housing. Today, the Index notes, nearly all housing assistance comes from government.
The same is true of health care. No longer is health care and health insurance obtained through a local social club or church, as many Americans once did. Today, care comes from public programs such as Medicaid or Medicare. And those in need of general financial help don?t turn to local charities. They run to government for welfare, Social Security and other forms of public assistance.
Some readers may be tempted to say: ?So what? As long as people in need get help, it doesn?t matter where it comes from.? But when you consider our nation?s history of hard work, self-reliance and strong communities, you begin to realize that it does matter. Indeed, this question goes right to the heart of the American experiment in self-rule.

Easy recipe... really festive served in individual silver/colored cupcake papers. I brought these bars to a Christmas cookie swap. I have had calls all day asking for the recipe! A keeper.
These make for a beautiful bar cookie on your Christmas cookie tray! The flavor is difficult to describe but the crust is buttery and crisp with a crunchy chewy filling. I was bit surprised that the maraschino cherries did not impart as much flavor as I have seen in other baked goods but realize they are competing with the flavor and texture of the coconut and pecans. These are not overly sweet (could have been a bit sweeter for me), and go very nicely with a cup of coffee. They added very a nice touch to my Christmas cookie trays for school and work. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Made these to take to dinner at SIL's for thanksgiving. But of course we had to try them first to make sure they were ok. They were more than ok. Really easy to put together and tasty besides. Thanks for posting.

The Obama administration announced Wednesday that it has charged 107 individuals for nearly $500 million in false Medicare billings as a result of recent efforts against fraud.
Officials praised the haul as the largest single "takedown" in the history of Medicare's anti-fraud force, which bridges the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
"Our ongoing fight against healthcare fraud has never been more coordinated and effective," Attorney General Eric Holder said.
"We are determined to bring to justice those who violate our laws and defraud the Medicare program for personal gain."
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius emphasized that the 2010 healthcare law empowered the fraud "strike force" to stop payments to 52 fraud suspects as investigations proceed.
"Today's actions are another example of how the Affordable Care Act is helping the Obama administration fight fraud and strengthen the Medicare program," she said.
The fraud schemes involved roughly $452 million in false billings to Medicare, allegedly for treatments that were "medically unnecessary and oftentimes never provided," a release stated.
Those charged included doctors, nurses and other licensed healthcare professionals.
"Health care fraud is not a victimless crime," said FBI Deputy Director Joyce.
"Every person who pays for health care benefits, every business that pays higher insurance costs to cover their employees, every taxpayer who funds Medicare — all are victims."
Since their inception in 2007, the "strike force" anti-fraud operations have brought charges against 1,330 people for allegedly billing Medicare for more than $4 billion in false claims.

In this period of social reconstruction, after the long period of wars and central totalitarian rule, many very basic issues reemerge regarding the foundations of social life. The new countries of Central Asia have never before been independent and national identities must be created from ancient cultural roots. In Central Europe cultural identities were intensively discussed earlier in this century, but their post Versailles experience as democratic nations was relatively brief before being interrupted by World War II and its aftermath. Hence, today rich discoveries regarding nation building and national reconstruction become newly possible. What is remarkably evident as this work proceeds is that not only is human dignity being reaffirmed, but dramatic new dimensions of human life are now opening after the cold war. These promise to not only to reaffirm the fact of a minimal and inviolable human dignity, but richly to enhance it.
Prof. Miroslav BednáÍ has brought together an outstanding team of authors to continue the project of Czech philosophers on this theme. The first round of volumes of "Czech Philosophical Studies" concentrated on retrieving the tradition: Volume I, Tradition and Present Problem of Czech Political Philosophy, and volume II, Czech Philosophy in the XXth Century. An additional part of this picture is to be found also in volume I of "Slovak Philosophical Studies," Volume I, Language, Values and the Slovak Nation.
For their second round of volumes the Central European teams have chosen as their general theme: "Building Democratic Societies: Values and Rights". To begin this project it was thought wisely to be necessary to lay as a firm foundation the reality of human dignity. Without this being clear any steps in building democratic societies could be inadequate or even destructive. The present volume, Human Dignity: Values and Justice, Czech Philosophical Studies, III, from Prague bears the results of this study. Other volumes are under development and two recently have been published: National, Cultural and Ethnic Identities: Harmony beyond Conflict, Czech Philosophical Studies, IV from Brno and Interests and Values: The Spirit of Venture in a Time of Change, Slovak Philosophical Studies, II from Bratislava.
The work of the present volume, Human Dignity: Values and Justice, is divided into four parts: "Human Dignity"; "Dialogue: Interchange as Human Transcendence"; "The Ecology as a Broader Human Context"; and The Human Person.
Part I "Human Dignity" lays the foundations for this study.
M. BednáÍ in Chapter I "The Phenomenon of Human Dignity after Totalitarianism" begins the work auspiciously on the basis of the thought of Jan Pato…ka, the key theoretician of the modern Czech philosophical experience. Rather than trying to make room for the human in the midst of impervious alien givens, with Pato…ka BednáÍ focuses on the very appearing of reality. This makes it possible not only to protect human dignity, but to identify the key role of the human in the internal constitution of the world as the creative source of values, in contrast to a mere external technical ordering of goods or external measurements of equality.
Jolana Poláková in chapter II "Struggling for Human Dignity in Extreme Situations" draws upon the special experience of the people of Central Europe investigating how the great trials and tabulations of this century have made possible new discoveries regarding human dignity. She shows how external situations which threaten to crush and dissolve the person internally can be the basis for transcending the situation and gaining an authentic and indissoluble freedom.
Jan Payne in chapter III "Human Dignity" also develops this theme distinguishing from the interpretation of reality in terms of force expressing power, the experience of freedom in terms of value judgements. As both are integral parts of human life he turns to the hermeneutic circle as the manner of interrelating the two in a way that retains and promotes human dignity.
Part II "Dialogue: Interchange as Human Transcendence" begins to expand the horizons of human dignity by introducing its dialogical dimensions. As processes of transcending the self-enclosed ego, Jolana Poláková in chapter IV, "Dialogue as a Way to Humanity", begins this process by pointing out the poverty of prior attempts to affirm human dignity. Enlightenment rationalism had reduced the sense of the person to the atomistic individual,whose isolation could be overcome only by universal concepts incapable of expressing the individual person because abstracting from one's uniqueness and freedom. The sense of dialogue is now breaking definitively beyond these restrictions. Instead of a solipsistic atomism of the first or third person, the relations expressed by the second person now come into the fore. This is not only a matter of communicative interchange; more deeply it is a teleological openness to God and an anthropological openness to other humans. In this light we are now moving beyond seeing the I as the center of the universe to seeing it as a gift of my creator to you. This constitutes a broad enrichment of the sense of human dignity and meaning.
V. Hála in chapter V "Ethics and Dialogue: Some Philosophical Contexts" follows the same path of dialogue relating it to the search for an ethnical minimum or unrelativizable ethical core upon which to build human interaction. He contrast in this regard the communitarian effort to contextualize this in particular cultures to a position he tends to favor which would look for a universal basis. Rather than attempting to realize this in merely formal structures, however, he proceeds in two subsequent chapters to look for its concrete bases in the political and environmental orders.
In chapter VI "Morality and Legality: The Political Significance of Their Relationship" Professor Hála attempts to situate the legal order in relation to morality, noting that law can cover only some parts of life, but that it is founded in morality, which, in turn, it can help to define and apply. In his longer discussion of the issue of legitimate protest he is able to draw on the lived experience of the last decades in order to explore this realm of morality as foundation for social life where law is either not sufficient or not just.
Part III "Ecology as a Broader Human Context" constitutes a further major contemporary extension and enrichment of human dignity, its context and its role.
It seems only fitting that this part should be introduced, even if schematically, by the late Josel VavrouÑek in chapter VII "Human Values and Sustainable Ways of Living". Perhaps more than anyone in the Czech Republic he led the way in environmental concern and performed an analogous service in such international organizations as the United Nations. Here he lists in summary, but particularly
insightful, fashion the shifts in philosophical and humane horizons involved in the new emergence of ecological awareness. These themes are richly elaborated in the following two chapters.
Oleg Suša in chapter VIII "The Ecological Problem in Modern Society: Solidarity, Conflict and Human Dignity" provides a uniquely rich overview of the development of the environmental consciousness. His study deals with the problems of the growth of ecological risk in modern society and its social and moral consequences in the form of solidarity and conflict in the communication of two competing viewpoints: technical and ethical, institutional and value-based. Philosophical reflection faces the task of investigating the interaction of society with nature as well as the ecological problems resulting from power-based, technical, economic and science-based cultural processes.
In the first part of the study the author analyses certain significant cultural-historical relationships of the double conception of environment on the basis of the socially created contrast between culture and nature. The first points above all to the problematic character of the modern conception of the interaction of human society with the natural environment as regulated by power-based technological-economic structures, the second to the need for ecological ethics in modern industrial society.
Suša follows with an analysis of a deeper socio-cultural relationships of the modern power-based pattern of a morally neutralized relation to the natural environment. Here the aim is to show the ambivalence of the rationalization of nature and society and its cumulative unintended consequences. These include both a civilizing process of modernization and rationalization, and a mechanistic conception of nature, society and man. This implies the need, possibilities and problems of developing an alternative normative-ethical "social control" of the interaction of society and nature in order to surpass the present power-based metaphor of this interaction. This would unify the double environment within the framework of a co-evolutionarily expanded conception of membership in the ecosystems.
The second part of this chapter focuses on the investigation of the phenomenon of environmentalism as an ideological and social movement in the context of today's modern ecological discourse.
This evokes pressures both to solidarity and to conflict in the discussion and solution of problems arising from the confrontation of plural interests, needs and values of society as well as the state and the quality of the natural environment. There was note of the way discourse on the fear of ecological risks acts upon the solidarization and conflict to reproduce the tension between values and institutions, legality and legitimacy. The growing topical significance of ecological problems in the social, political and cultural context appears as an argument for deeper and more intensive related analytical research.
The reintroduction of moral values and valuation into our understanding of the world, and also ethical checks of self-control upon our whole cultural relationship with nature, become not only a political necessity, but also a matter of human dignity and of the good life in a good society.
The problem with an environmentally responsible ethics arises in terms of how to implement this practical reason within the context of the structures and systems of modern instrumental reason, i.e., the structures of instrumentalized action. The search for alternative moral conduct should build on the European cultural heritage: for instance, upon the Aristotelian unity of human, technical, scientific and aesthetic faculties and virtues, connecting them with moral political conduct. There is also the biblical tradition of the human dominion metaphor. This contains both the power and domination paradigm, on the one hand, and morally responsible and cognitive respect for the whole of creation as a community created by God, on the other. In both conceptual frameworks much is to be learned: cognitive respect means mutual understanding within this community as a presupposition for adequate public policy, which thus becomes the moral direction of power in the controlling structures of human action.
Beyond presenting simply a pragmatic response to a practical challenge, Professor SuÑa shows how this is even more a deep transformation of modern human self-awareness. Human dignity, consciousness and responsibility are no longer issues for an isolated and fearful entity, but rather essential characteristics for one who would engage the global horizon. The human home is no longer a hut or even a castle, but rather the globe with not only physical but cultural dimensions. This chapter points out how in these times human dignity and hence responsibility have been vastly enriched.
In Chapter IX "The Ecological Motivation of Ethics and the moral Critique of Society" Vlastimil Hála returns to this task. In the first part of this chapter he focuses on a number of theoretical problems in ecology, especially the relationship between anthropocentrism and biocentrism and the possibility of going beyond the intersubjective concept of moral judgment and extending it to non-human beings, particularly to animals. In this context the author supports the position of "cultivated anthropocentrism" and an extended concept of humanity.
In the second part he reflects on the practical application of ecologically motivated ethics, and especially on the significance of the concept of long-term sustainable life. He is convinced that a change in value orientations is possible, not so much in the form of a society-wide process, as in the form of struggling and gaining space for the development of "minority" styles of life that are favorable from an ecological point of view.
He recognizes the Judeo-Christian religious basis, but does not see this as sufficiently inclusive. This may be due to the fact that after the manner of a science he is looking for a deductive principle from which the conclusions follow of necessity, or for a world view which is centered upon human freedom that is responsible for all of creation. That, however, would not seem appropriate for religion as a free response to the divine gift of love, for this an inductive and aesthetic approach would seem indicated proceeding from the experience of life to its transcendent principles, which inspire and fulfill as much as explain.
Chapters VIII and IX jointly would seem to illustrate well the present philosophical challenge and opportunity for human dignity. In the modern external technological paradigm an anthropocentric view would mean violence to, and exploration of, nature. The solution would be merely to expand the horizons to an abstractive biocentric view, which, however, as abstraction would lose the freedom and creativity of humankind and hence the special role of reason in nature. The solution would seem to lie in a new transcendence, first of reason and its manipulations in order to include will, values and goals; second of human and physical nature as vicious competitors on a limited field in order to treat them as joint heirs and participants in a project grounded in an infinite and loving source and goal.
Part IV "The Human Person" proceeds to examine human dignity on a basis that is much enriched by the horizons of dialogue with other persons and interchange with the natural environment which were developed in Parts II and III. Here the focus turns to the dignity of the human person.
Bohumír Janát in Chapters X "A Time of Titans: Reflections on the Philosophy of Present History" and XI "Philosophy and the Metaphysical Vision of a Just World: Reflections on Justice in the Present Spiritual Atmosphere of Middle-Eastern Europe" draws out these foundational implications regarding the horizon needed to resolve positively the alternative contexts for approaches to ecological issues. For this he points to the new openness to the spirit entailed by the collapse of militant materialism.
This study is an attempt to formulate a philosophical response to the present "materialistic liberalism" notable in the postcomminust countries of present Middle-Eastern Europe. In accord with the old Marxist supposition, they tend to declare economy the most significant stratum of human and social being and thus to diminish the importance of spirituality, dignity, morality and justice. The author tries to open a deeper historical-philosophical perspective on the contemporary situation. His endeavor is to provide evidence for the preference of metaphysics over political philosophy or for the grounding of the latter in the former. The key idea is that the spiritual substance of Euro-American civilization can be saved only if the philosophical archetype embodied in Socrates wins over the nihilistic, violent and orgiastic pathos figured in Nietzsche, i.e., if "epimeleia tés psyches" prevails over "der Wille zur Macht".
Aviezer Tucker in chapter XI " Pato…ka's Ethnical Naturalism: the Primacy of Value over Fact" shows how central was Jan Pato…ka's focus upon care of the soul to a philosophy truly attentive to human dignity. In this he sees special continuity with the work of society. Echoing a theme from chapter I he notes also the uniqueness of Pato…ka's work vis à vis Heidegger. Where M. BednáÍ pointed to the deepening of Pato…ka's horizon beyond being to appearing, Tucker notes its displacement from being to value, thereby giving it the strong developmental, teleological and ethical character needed in order for it to provide the reflective dimension especially needed in our time of social reconstruction.
Vincent Shen in chapter XII "`Person' as the Central Concept in the Human and Social Sciences: An Interpretation of Edmund Husserl's Thought on the Human Person in Ideen II" begins from Dilthey and his identification of the essential difference of the human from the technical sciences. In this light it becomes possible to see the importance of the phenomenology of Husserl, especially in Ideen II, in making it possible to explore the properly human consciousness from within in the work of self-constitution.
In the latter part of the chapter Professor Shen points to the work of Thomas Aquinas in ontically relating this dimension of the spirit to the body in an integrated sense of the human person, but Professor Shen considers this no longer adequate for the technological complexities of contemporary society investigated by J. Habermas. In view of the earlier direction of the chapter as well as the general pattern of development in the rest of the work, this might also be read conversely to point out how the formal character of Habermas's analysis stands in need of the phenomenological elaboration of the life of human consciousness by Husserl, and that this in turn needs an integration of the human person in the sense of the existential philosophy of being of Thomas. (See Robert Badillo, The Emancipative Theory of Jügen Habermas and Metaphysics [Cultural Heritage and Contemporary Change, Series I, Culture and Values, vol. 13; Washington: The Council for Research in Values and Philosophy, 1991].)
This again would be an inversion of the method of philosophical reflection to look not deductively from abstract principles, but inductively from the dignity of human life lived in existential freedom to the unlimited source and goal of such life beyond the human person. This is needed in order to provide the openness within which freedom, rather than determinism, is the mark of being and the context of the dignity of the human person.
Karel Vrána in chapter XIV "The Writer's Mission and Politics" elaborates this existential theme richly in relation to literature and the work of the writer. For this the writer must overcome a series of temptations in order to be guided by truth precisely as theway of access to being and existence. The alternative is to be reduced to an instrument of profit through advertising or of power through ideologies.
In sum this volume is truly a tour de force. It could have been simply a minimal assertion of irreducible human dignity in the face of modern oppression, or a search for foundations in earlier sources. Both would have been worthy accomplishments for this volume. Beyond both of these, however, the volume is both creative and prospective, looking for the elements now appreciated as missing in the modern project of technical progress. Above all, it looks not only at particular insights, but at broad steps in the contemporary evolution of human consciousness in integrating dialogical or inter human action and ecological or human-nature awareness. In both dimension the atomistic individual is liberated and both nature and society are rendered humane. In this light human dignity emerges no longer as a fugitive viciously pursued, but as the creative center, ready to build the life-world of the third millennium.

With some simple pearl garland and a variety of vintage brooches and embellishments, you can create a stunning Vintage Winter Wreath that would look beautiful hanging either indoors or out. This wreath from Mitzi Curi is simple, yet elegant and makes a lovely winter decoration. Pick from one of Mitzi's several designs for a wreath that you love. These projects are quick and easy and a great way to enjoy the beauty of winter all season long.
- Pearl Garland (I used three strands to cover a medium foam wreath)
- Medium foam wreath
- Various embellishments
- Hot glue gun
Put a dab of glue on the end of the garland to secure it, and begin winding it around the wreath form. I put the occasional dab of hot glue here and there to keep the garland in place as I wrapped it around, and a big glob to secure the end.
Once you have your base finished, you can experiment with different embellishments!
First, I tried three vintage enamel brooches from the 1960's. I clustered them at one side of the wreath, using their own pinbacks to secure them. Thinking they looked a little sparse on their own, I added a velvet bow with a vintage earring center at the top.
Well, that's one version. I decided to try another, with two brass brooches I purchased recently. And I added a loop of leftover Prima ribbon at the top.
Well, that version didn't seal the deal for me either. I decided to hot glue a snowflake ornament on the wreath as a base to give the jewelry I select some additional pizzaz. In addition, I looped a soft blue vintage satin ribbon at the top for hanging. Then I went back to my stash of jewelry. Instead of gluing them permanently, I pinned them in place using their own pinbacks and additional straight pins.

My husband and I decided to take our 5-, 3- and 1-year-old boys camping over Memorial Day weekend.
It was my idea, actually. My sons love being outside, exploring nature and all things adventurous, especially "sleeping over," which means sleeping anywhere but their bed. This can include sleeping on the floor, the couch, with Grandma and Grandpa, or in a hotel.
Camping is the ultimate adventurous sleepover. Because of their ages, I guess I figured we'd wait a few years before introducing the whole "let's be homeless for a night" concept. But for some reason I got really excited to try it out on the unofficial First Weekend of Summer.
To begin with, I figured we needed a tent. That was kind of important. We had a tent but one of its poles was broken, so I hauled the boys in the car and went to a sporting goods store to find the perfect one.
About two hours and 25 phone calls to my husband later, I found the perfect one — on sale! — only to discover it was out of stock. At this point, my 3-year-old had decided he'd had it and decided to camp out right on the floor of the store, kicking off his shoes, sprawling himself across my feet and beginning to cry. A bunch of well-meaning customers tried to help me cheer him up, but in the end, we walked to the car with one shoe on, one shoe off. I listened to about an hour's worth of more screaming and kid-cursing. ("Stop it! No! You're mean!")
I handed the task of finding an outdoor dwelling place over to my husband, which he took care of during his lunch break ... easy as pie.
Then it was on to yet another sporting goods store to find sleeping bags for the boys. You would think that would be another easy task, but so many stores were either out of bags, had only one or two styles left, were too expensive, too big or too girly. Finally, after the 53rd phone call to my husband, I found the perfect ones at the perfect price.
Once again, into the car, and now on to the grocery store to get food, firewood and marshmallow skewers (perhaps the most important item). After all, what's camping without s'mores?
Halfway to the store, I reached down to grab my phone and call my husband for the 103rd time that day. It wasn't there, and out of nowhere, a fuzzy image emerged of my hot pink phone lying on the bottom of the forest green shopping cart.
I had left it, outside, in the cart. And it was beginning to rain.
By the time I turned the car around and drove back to the store, the cart — and my phone — were gone. I hurried in to customer service and frantically asked if anyone had turned in a pink phone. No one had. I tried calling on the store phone, but no one answered.
I was getting all ready to officially freak out when all of a sudden a very pregnant woman came "running" over to me, waving my phone in the air.
"Is this it?" she asked, huffy and out of breath.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, thanking her profusely.
I finally made it to the store. I got (most) everything we needed. Later, we packed the car and drove up the canyon with some good friends of ours. We tried two campsites before finding the perfect one.
It was now dark. And bedtime. My 1-year-old was over it. We hadn't even pitched our tent.
I looked at my husband and said, "So, is this worth it?" He just laughed and said, "We'll have fun."

U.S. regulators are set to choose the first non-bank companies likely to be branded potential risks to the financial system, according to two people with knowledge of the plans.
The Financial Stability Oversight Council intends to request confidential data from as many as five U.S. firms at a meeting this month, said the people, who declined to be identified because the plans aren't public. The request is a step toward deciding whether the companies should be subject to Federal Reserve supervision, including stress tests, higher capital levels and tougher liquidity requirements.
Geithner told the House Financial Services Committee in July that the council was "looking very, very carefully" at New York-based AIG and other companies he didn't name. Geithner has said the council will make the first designations this year.
Bank-holding companies with more than $50 billion in assets -- including Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc. -- are automatically subject to heightened Fed supervision under Dodd-Frank. Non-banks designated systemically important would get Fed oversight similar to that of the large banks.

Could global warming melt the Republican majority?
Tuesday, August 1, 2006
Heat Wave: As Washington braces for another August of record-breaking heat, the Republican leadership has at last decided on its response to global warming: From now on, Congress will begin its August recess in July.
The success of Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, has prompted a flurry of articles on how global warming will transform our politics. Michael Grunwald imagines "a climate-conscious politics … where a policy's atmospheric costs would be evaluated along with its fiscal costs, a politics of inconvenient truths." Clive Crook suggests a long-term plan to lower the long-term impact of climate change, but points out that we'll need policies to adapt to it as well: "Whatever happens, we will have to live with higher temperatures."
Every night since they saw the Gore movie, my children have followed its cue to pray that people have the courage to change. But as both Grunwald and Crook observe, the long term is something Washington just doesn't do. If we want action on climate change, we need to put it in terms that, even in these deeply partisan times, the political world can understand.
Never mind the impact of global warming on the migratory patterns of the black-throated blue warbler. Those concerned about the long-term survival of the Republican species should worry that climate change may fundamentally alter the migratory patterns of the American voter.
Southward, Ho!: One of the defining trends of the past 40 years has been the dramatic shift in population from the Frost Belt to the Sunbelt. In 1960, the three largest northeastern states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts had a combined 93 electoral votes. Now they have 64. People voted with their feet, and we know where they went: In 1960, Texas and Florida had a total of 34 electoral votes; now those two states have 61.
Climate wasn't the only reason the U.S. population shifted from north to south, but it was a significant one. For Arizona to grow from 4 electoral votes in 1960 to 10 today, while Iowa shrank from 10 to 7, plenty of people must have been willing to brave the desert summer to escape another winter on the plains.
The southern migration of American politics has brought on a long, painful drought for the Democratic Party. For a century, the South had been a Democratic stronghold. But the Sunbelt's population began to explode just as the South was turning away, punishing Democrats for doing the right thing in the '60s by standing up for civil rights and opposing the war in Vietnam.
Apart from a few states on the Pacific Coast and in the mid-Atlantic, Democrats are now a captive party of the Northern Tier. We haven't won an electoral vote in the South so far this century.
Seeing Red: In fact, the electoral map looks increasingly like the weather map in USA Today: Most red and orange states are red; most blue and green states are blue. If you chart the average temperature since 1960, you might as well be looking at Karl Rove's list of target states.

Dozens of people have been killed in fierce clashes between Nigeria's military and suspected Islamists, with a massive blaze that followed the fighting leaving nearly half the town destroyed, government and rescue sources told AFP on Monday.
Gun battles broke out in the remote northeastern town of Baga on Friday after troops surrounded a mosque allegedly housing Islamist insurgents.
The town on Lake Chad lies in Borno state, the home base of Boko Haram Islamists who are blamed for carrying out scores of attacks across northern and central Nigeria since 2009.
The fighting "killed dozens of people", said a state government official who refused to be named.
Various officials contacted by AFP have been reluctant to discuss the scale of the violence, saying only the military was authorised to provide casualty figures.
A rescue official with contacts in Baga told AFP that "many residents are still unaccounted...It is assumed that they fled into the bush".
"From information reaching us from Baga, 40 percent of the town has been gutted by fire," added the official who asked not to be named.
Borno state military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa told AFP that media reports that some 180 people could have died in the clashes were "extensively inflated".
"There could have been some casualties, but it is unthinkable to say that 185 people died," Musa said.
"On my honour as an officer, nothing like that happened," he added.
Musa, as well as the defence and army spokesmen have refused to provide details of the fighting.
Local residents reported deaths among the insurgents, soldiers as well as civilians, according to an official who toured the area on Sunday with regional governor Kashim Shettima.
Locals also told the governor's delegation that the clashes started when troops surrounded a mosque that was allegedly sheltering insurgents.
A shootout ensued and there were reports from residents of the Islamists using heavy weapons including rocket propelled grenades, but the nature of the fighting could not be confirmed and details were slow to emerge.
Red Cross spokesman Nwakpa O. Nwakpa told AFP that a significant attack occurred, but said, "we really don't know yet how many people died".
Mobile phone network coverage in some parts of Borno was crippled last year after Boko Haram burned down a series of telecommunication masts.
Baga is more than 150 kilometres (95 miles) from the state capital Maiduguri, a precarious drive on poor roads in a region hit by waves of violence.
Boko Haram has used Maiduguri as a base for its insurgency, but scores of militants have reportedly fled to more remote corners of the state following a crackdown by security forces in the city.
Nigeria's security forces have a history of minimising casualty figures in the conflict with Boko Haram, in a bid to downplay the Islamists' capacity.
But resentment of the military is high in some communities and locals have in the past given inflated death tolls while accusing the military of indiscriminately killing civilians during their operations.
Boko Haram has said it is fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north, but the group's demands have shifted repeatedly.
The conflict in Africa's most populous country and top oil producer is estimated to have left about 3,000 people dead since 2009.
The toll includes people killed by the security forces, who have been accused by international rights groups of massive abuses, especially in the northeast.
Facing mounting political pressure over his inability to end the violence, President Goodluck Jonathan set up a panel last week to study how an amnesty could be offered to Boko Haram.
It is unclear if members of the radical sect are open to an amnesty deal.

SEOUL, South Korea Like Japan, resource-poor South Korea has long relied on nuclear power to provide cheap electricity that helped build its miracle economy. For years, it met one-third of its electricity needs with nuclear power, similar to Japan's dependence before the 2011 disaster at its Fukushima plant.
Now, a scandal in South Korea concerning critical plant equipment has highlighted another similarity: Experts say both countries' nuclear programs suffer from a culture of collusion. After an anonymous tip in April, prosecutors indicted officials at a testing company on charges of faking safety tests on parts for the plants. Some were also indicted on charges of taking bribes from testing company officials in return for accepting substandard parts.
Investigators discovered questionable components are installed in 14 of the country's 23 nuclear power plants.
Three reactors were closed on concerns of questionable components, and three are offline for scheduled maintenance, which has led to orders of a nationwide energy-saving campaign in a muggy summer.

If you were expecting director Marc Webb's new Spider-Man movie to be a retelling of the classic comic story "The Night Gwen Stacy Died," you may be disappointed.
The two-part arc, from 1973's The Amazing Spider-Man #121-122, was a defining moment for Spider-Man, who blamed himself for Gwen's death after she was hurled by Green Goblin from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge. Although the Green Goblin doesn't appear to be part of Columbia's reboot, the inclusion of Gwen and her father George Stacy led some to believe we might see her death at the hands of the Lizard or the Proto-Goblin.
However, Emma Stone, who was cast opposite star Andrew Garfield in October, suggests Gwen Stacy could be with the movie franchise for a while.
During an appearance last night on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Golden Globe-nominated actress was asked whether she'll maintain her natural blond hair (she usually dyes it red). Stone replied, "There's a few Spider-Men, so I may have to keep it for a couple of years."
That, of course, implies a multi-picture deal, which isn't uncommon. But it also means that, barring flashbacks, Gwen won't be snapping her neck until at least the next movie.
The new Spider-Man began its 90-day shoot two weeks ago in Los Angeles. The LA Times' Company Town blog reports that while production will include two weeks in New York City, where the story is set, the bulk of filming will take place on the Sony lot and in locations around LA. The movie, which is being produced for less than half Spider-Man 3's $250-million budget, opens on July 3, 2012.
You can watch Stone's Tonight Show appearance below.
(via Comic Book Movie)
Good. We shouldn't be lobbying for the character to die. It'd be nice to see her last a few films, since Stone is a great actress, so I'm keen to see what she brings to the part. Also, I'm crossing my fingers she doesn't get trapped in Dunst's problem of being the distress-damsel come every film's end.
In the video, she talks about training with the same fitness instructor that Andrew Garfield is using, which suggests her role is going to be at least somewhat physical.
Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean doing naff-all save getting kidnapped in every film.
I absolutely love Emma Stone so I would be very happy to see her with Spider-Man for a while. There's no reason to kill her off in a film, especially one that doesn't have Osborn.
auuugh why do people want Gwen Stacy to die? It's hardly as though that was how the character was conceived. If you go back and read the original Ditko run, or the Lee/Romita stuff that followed on from it, she is categorically NOT "the dead girlfriend".
Killing her was one of the three most misguided editorial choices in Spider-Man's history (the other two being the wedding and graduating Peter from high school too quickly).
Gwen's popularity with the fans (from the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon) might account for this. Besides if a reigning plot like the marriage can be tossed away after 20 years, why cannot Gwen's death?
This whole movie is a mistake… Maybe not for fanboys, but for normal people, the original Spider-man movie is still fresh on everyone's minds.

Burt's Bees Wings of Love - Inspiration [DISCONTINUED]

Package Quality: 5.0
Price: $
Package Quality: 5.0
Price: $
Not tested on animals
Burt's Bees is a Cruelty-Free Subsidiary.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This is definitely not the type of lippie you "dig" your fingers into because the texture is very solid. It's more the type of thing you'd sweep your finger across and then apply. The reviewer's comments below
sound very helpful...so that might be a good route to follow. Still, the color was a bit too bright/80sish for my liking, so I swapped it. Very cute little tin package, though :)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
This thing was indeed hard, so I put in two drops of castor oil, smeared it on top and let it sit for a day. The next day the thing was incredible (except the directions, which I still can not get over with). My roomate said it made me look much more energetic, and my boyfriend loved the sparkle.
Age: Unknown
Skin: Dry, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

I received Inspiration from a really nice swap. I'd never tried anything from Burt's Bees before and first saw this on drugstore.com's website. The picture it showed looked so pretty, almost like a creamy gloss but this stuff is more like a small tin of the hardest wax on the planet, harder than a candle stick with kind of a dried out consistency, but on the website's picture it looks so creamy. And it's not a gloss, it's just like a berry pink shimmery lipstick, only rock hard. When I say rock hard, I mean it! I like the little silver tin it comes it, it's very cute and the shimmer quality is very fine and I like that. It works well on my lips if I smear my lips in vaseline first, use Inspiration for color and then put a gloss on it. It doesn't look so bad, although if I put too much on, I could wind up looking like sloppy slobbering Anna Nicole Smith. It also has a minty refreshing flavor to it. It just is the oddest consistency known to mankind. Did I say it was rock hard?

There's still some confusion around the Sound Blaster X-Fi card. Looking at comments on the blog and e-mails that I'm getting, the confusion tends to be centered around the distinction between what's handled via hardware or software. Before explaining that, want to call out three core points:
The purpose of point #1 is to clarify that we're not delivering limited functionality at the hardware level. This means like the retail version, through hardware, we support features like EAX (enhanced game audio for games written to support it); the 24-bit crystalizer (a processor that delivers improved audio quality from a variety of sources) and CMSS 3-D (which is a processor that emulates surround sound, for 2-channel environments or headphones).
Regarding points #2 and 3: Dolby Digital and DTS are sound decoders for movies. Even on the retail version of the card, both of these are done through a software codec ultimately licensed through Dolby or DTS. The Dolby Digital 5.1 software codec we use on all XPS 700 systems is licensed through Sonic, whereas the retail X-Fi solution is licensed through Creative. From a customer standpoint, if you have a 5.1 speaker set and a DVD movie that supports Dolby Digital (very common these days), you simply insert the DVD into the drive and play the movie. We don't support DTS (which is supported through software on the retail card with Creative's software codecs), not because of any hardware limitation, but only because we don't install a software codec for DTS. Does this mean that your system won't support DTS at all? No. If you have DTS-encoded movies and want to hear them that way, you can purchase a DVD player utility that features DTS capability.
I wasn't able to finalize some specifics on the NVIDIA 7950 graphics card update. My apologies for making you wait. More details to follow next week.

D.L. Your comments are right on the mark, and thanks for the feedback. On the multi-channel audio side, Dell supports DVD-Audio playback. Also, as you mention, more of today's games are also incorporating multi-channel technology.
My apologies for the oversight.
Seems rather obvious that you have refused to answer this question twice in this blog - while answering the other questions.
Would you please explain what the (D) means as it is shown on the XPS 700 order/configuration pages in the following context: "XtremeMusic (D)"?
Lionel: if YOU don't know, how do you expect the customer to know what it means? There are no footnotes to explain it.
Since it applies to the Sound Blaster SW audio control panel (which is called "XtremeMusic" - I know what it means - DEFEATURED - that's why it doens't have the reatil functionality of DD5.1 and DTS included.
Question is, will you admit it? I don't think so. How about that Dell Code of Conduct that is posted on the corporate website? C'mon, you can be honest with us customers, it won't hurt you to do it.

Mark 11:1-11New King James Version (NKJV)
The Triumphal Entry
11 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage[a] and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."
4 So they went their way, and found the[b] colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, loosing the colt?"
6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

College has extra challenges for the student with asthma. New and unfamiliar living quarters, school and social stresses, and other factors can trigger flare-ups. As always, prevention is important: Do your best to avoid triggers and to stay healthy. Update your asthma action plan, including how to deal with emergencies. These tips can help.
Before you leave for college, review your triggers with your allergist, pulmonologist, or primary care provider. Then review this list to see what adjustments you may need to make to your living area:
If your dorm has an old heating or cooling system, buy vent filters. Or, if your budget allows, a HEPA air cleaner. Change the filter often.
Try to avoid rooms with forced hot air heating.
If mold is present or you have a roommate who smokes, ask about changing rooms. A note from your provider may help you avoid a room-change or other fees.
Request a room without wall-to-wall carpeting.
Don't use secondhand rugs or upholstered furniture in your room.
Cover your mattress and pillows with allergy-free covers.
Wash linens weekly with hot water. Clean all surfaces, including the floor, every week. If your roommates won't help you clean, offer to do it in exchange for another favor.
Staying away from asthma triggers is one part of asthma-management. Another is staying healthy.
Ask your health care provider which vaccines you need. People with asthma need annual flu vaccines and also get vaccines for meningitis and hepatitis B. Check with your student health center about low-cost options.
Wash your hands often. Or use hand cleaners or sanitizers.
Eat balanced meals, get regular exercise, and get plenty of sleep. These can help you stay healthy. And avoid all-nighters; the stress on your body can increase the risk of an asthma flare-up.
If you're sick, take care of yourself. You may feel as though you're missing out, but you'll miss more if you end up with a serious asthma flare-up. Check with your professors and administrators about attendance policies and tell them about any special needs you have.
If college pressures, social challenges, or other stressors get to be too much for you to handle, look into student counseling services. They are often free or available at a reduced fee.
Here are other things that can help you manage your asthma:
Make sure you get answers to any questions you have about your asthma action plan. Make sure it's up-to-date and that you have copies with you.
Try to avoid triggers. Many young people on college campuses smoke. Try to stay away from smoking areas.
Take your controller medications every day or as instructed by your provider.
Watch for early signs of worsening asthma. Or if you use a peak flow meter, check your peak flow as instructed. If you notice changes, use your quick relief medication.
If you use quick-relief medication to prevent exercise or physical activity from triggering symptoms, remember to use it. Keep an inhaler in your purse or back pack.
Make sure your roommates, friends, and dorm leaders know what to do if you develop symptoms. Know how to get emergency help.
Make sure you are familiar with the campus health system. And, ask your current health care provider if you should find an asthma specialist on or near campus.
