About Speech Codes
Public and Private: What Is the Difference?
When discussing free speech on campus, it is important to understand the relevance of the First Amendment to private and public institutions.
As state agents, all public colleges and universities are legally bound to respect the constitutional rights of their students. That the protections of the First Amendment apply on public campuses is well-settled law.
Private universities are not directly bound by the First Amendment, which limits only government action. However, the vast majority of private universities have traditionally viewed themselves—and sold themselves—as bastions of free thought and expression. Accordingly, private colleges and universities should be held to the standard that they themselves establish. If a private college advertises itself as a place where free speech is esteemed and protected—as most of them do—then it should be held to the same standard as a public institution.
Furthermore, private colleges and universities are contractually bound to respect the promises they make to students. Many institutions promise freedom of expression in university promotional materials and student conduct policies, but then deliver selective censorship once the first tuition check is cashed. They may not be bound by the First Amendment, but private institutions are still legally obligated to provide what they promise. Private institutions may not engage in fraud or breach of contract.
It is important to note, however, that if a private college wishes to place a particular set of moral, philosophical, or religious teachings above a commitment to free expression, it has every right to do so. The freedom to associate voluntarily with others around common goals or beliefs is an integral part of a pluralistic and free society. If a private university states clearly and publicly that it values other commitments more highly than freedom of expression, that institution has considerably more leeway in imposing its views on students, who have given their informed consent by choosing to attend.
Types of Policies
Certain types of speech policies are common on campus and may be divided into the following categories:
- Advertised Commitments to Free Expression
- Restrictions on Expressive Rights
- Harassment Policies
- Policies on Tolerance, Respect, and Civility
- Policies on 'Bias' and 'Hate Speech'
- Policies Restricting Freedom of Conscience
- Free Speech Zones
- Internet Usage Policies
- Posting Policies
Advertised Commitments to Free Expression
Many colleges and universities advertise themselves as bastions of freedom of expression, where all viewpoints, including those that may be offensive to others, can be expressed, discussed, and debated. FIRE catalogues these advertised commitments to free expression on campus to highlight the fact that universities are breaking their own promises when they restrict speech. This is especially crucial at private universities, where colleges are legally and morally required to honor the promises they have made to students in promotional materials in their policies.
Harassment Policies
Actual harassment is not protected by the First Amendment. In the educational context, the Supreme Court has defined student-on-student harassment as conduct "so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively bars the victim's access to an educational opportunity or benefit." Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, 526 U.S. 629, 652 (1999).
Harassment is extreme and usually repetitive behavior—behavior so serious that it would prohibit a reasonable person from getting his or her education. For example, in Davis, the conduct found by the Court to be harassment was a months-long pattern of conduct including repeated attempts to touch the victim's breasts and genitals and repeated sexually explicit comments directed at and about the victim. Universities are legally obligated to maintain policies and practices aimed at preventing this type of genuine harassment from happening on their campuses.
Unfortunately, universities often use this obligation to punish protected speech that does not meet this exacting legal standard. This misuse of harassment regulations became so widespread that in 2003, the federal Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR)—which is responsible for the enforcement of federal harassment regulations in schools—issued a letter of clarification to all of America's colleges and universities.
Then-Assistant Secretary Gerald Reynolds wrote:
Some colleges and universities have interpreted OCR's prohibition of "harassment" as encompassing all offensive speech regarding sex, disability, race or other classifications. Harassment, however, to be prohibited by the statutes within OCR's jurisdiction, must include something beyond the mere expression of views, words, symbols or thoughts that some person finds offensive.
Reynolds wrote that "OCR's regulations are not intended to restrict the exercise of any expressive activities protected under the U.S. Constitution," and concluded that "[t]here is no conflict between the civil rights laws that this Office enforces and the civil liberties guaranteed by the First Amendment." This letter forecloses any argument that federal anti-harassment law requires colleges to adopt speech codes that violate the First Amendment.
In spite of this clarification, however, countless universities persist in maintaining ludicrously broad definitions of harassment and in punishing students and faculty members for constitutionally protected speech. Instead of limiting themselves to the narrow definition of "harassment" that is outside the realm of constitutional protection, universities expand the term to prohibit broad categories of speech that do not even approach actual harassment, despite such policies having been repeatedly and consistently struck down by federal courts. These vague and overly broad harassment policies deprive students and faculty of their free speech rights.
Policies on Tolerance, Respect, and Civility
Many colleges and universities today feel a need to protect students from speech and expression that they might find objectionable or offensive. This is a return to the old notion of a college acting in loco parentis—in the place of the parents—and is seen most clearly in policies requiring students to act with tolerance, civility, and respect. These policies seek to create a particular campus "environment" or "climate," and they frequently regulate speech to this end. While many of these policies aspire to noble ends—who wants a campus of hate, disrespect, and intolerance?—they too often elevate a supposed right to be free from indignity of any type above the right to free expression. Also, and of note, they are usually enforced very selectively, leaving some students free to speak their minds and forcing other students to censor themselves.
Policies on 'Bias' and 'Hate Speech'
Many universities have established committees ostensibly designed merely to investigate "bias incidents" or "hate incidents." These committees often lack the authority themselves to punish speech, but because of this, they often have no scruples about adopting a dangerously broad mandate. Thus, these committees tend to "investigate" not just harassment or hate crimes, but also things like "expressions of hostility," "negative opinions or attitudes," and actions that "mock" others.
Students and faculty on any campus with a bias incident commission should be wary. These committees usually have a chilling effect on free expression. Some of the policies establishing these committees are so poorly worded that they never distinguish clearly between a bias incident and a hate crime, which might lead some students to believe that bias incidents are just as punishable as actual hate crimes. Even if a committee's mandate explicitly states that it does not have the power to punish speech, free expression can still be imperiled. Given the choice between remaining silent or speaking out (but facing official investigation, hearings, and the humiliation of a charge of bigotry if they do), only the bravest student will feel comfortable choosing the latter.
Policies Restricting Freedom of Conscience
While most speech codes simply govern what people say, policies restricting freedom of conscience target what people think and believe, striking at the very heart of individual liberty and dignity. These policies require students or faculty to adopt a particular orthodoxy on pain of punishment or as a condition of membership in the university community.
Public universities, and private universities that claim to value freedom, may not require students to adopt or to profess their adherence to an official point of view, be it on politics, philosophy, culture, or any other subject. While universities can often force students to conform their conduct to the requirements of the law, the realms of the mind, the spirit, and the heart are off-limits.
This freedom from officially imposed orthodoxies was clearly articulated in the landmark 1943 Supreme Court case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943), in which the Court struck down a West Virginia state law compelling all public school students to participate in a daily flag salute. The Supreme Court ruled that the flag salute requirement was unconstitutional because it forced citizens to "declare a belief." This, it held, runs contrary to the First Amendment, the purpose of which is to protect the "sphere of intellect and spirit" from "official control." As Justice Robert Jackson famously wrote, "If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."
While a university is permitted to advance its own message (universities have free speech rights, too), it is unconstitutional under Barnette for a public university to force its students or faculty to indicate their agreement with a particular set of values. Private universities are free to define the parameters of accepted truth for their students—as long as they advertise themselves accordingly. They may not—as so many do—simultaneously promote themselves as places where independent thought is encouraged and respected, and then force a particular viewpoint on students once they arrive on campus. A decent society believes in the right to informed consent.
Free Speech Zones
Many colleges and universities maintain "free speech zone" policies that quarantine free speech to small and/or remote areas of campus. This means that those who wish to engage in protests, demonstrations, or other expressive activities often cannot direct their message toward their intended audience. For example, students wishing to protest administrative policies might not be allowed to demonstrate outside the administrative building.
Universities often defend free speech zones by arguing that restrictions on the "time, place, and manner" of speech—i.e., restrictions that are not based on the content or viewpoint of the speech in question—are allowed by Supreme Court decisions. This defense often misinterprets the law. The Supreme Court has held that so-called "time, place, and manner" restrictions are permissible only if they do not "burden substantially more speech than is necessary to further the government's legitimate interests." Ward v. Rock Against Racism, 491 U.S. 781 (1989). While universities have a legitimate interest in protecting the ability of students to sleep and study, of faculty to teach, etc., policies that limit protests and demonstrations to one small stage or lawn on a large campus burden far more speech than is necessary to protect that interest.
Internet Usage Policies
Nearly all universities maintain policies regarding the acceptable use of their computer networks. While some of these policies are reasonable—prohibiting, for example, impersonating another person's identity in an e-mail, or using excessive bandwidth on a network—many others prohibit protected expression, such as the transmission of "offensive" e-mails.
Posting Policies
Universities may maintain posting policies containing reasonable and narrowly tailored time, place, and manner restrictions. For example, a university may require that posters or fliers be no larger than a certain size or that only one copy of a poster be allowed on a bulletin board.
However, many university posting policies go beyond reasonable limits. Some, for example, require that all postings be approved in advance by an administrative office. Such a rule constitutes a prior restraint on speech—that is, a rule that silences speech before it can be uttered. Other policies, such as those banning any reference to alcohol or drugs, discriminate based on the content of the posters. While a university may prohibit postings that advocate illegal behavior (for example, posters promising to serve underage drinkers at a party), it may not prohibit all alcohol and drug references, since a great deal of protected expression (flyers announcing an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or advertising a speech by an advocate of marijuana legalization, to name just two examples) would be banned.
Unprotected Speech
Although the First Amendment covers a very wide range of communicative acts, not all expression is protected by the Constitution. Some limited categories of speech receive very little or no constitutional protection. "Incitement" and "obscenity," for example, are unprotected categories of speech, while commercial speech explicitly enjoys less protection than noncommercial speech. Because college administrators will sometimes invoke these extremely limited categories of expression to justify bans on controversial (or just inconvenient) speech, it is important to understand the established legal boundaries of the few categories of unprotected speech.
- Incitement
- Threats and Intimidation
- Obscenity, Indecency, and Pornography
Incitement, in the legal sense, does not refer to speech that may lead to violence on the part of those opposed to or angered by it, but rather to speech that will lead those who agree with it to commit immediate violence. In other words, the danger is that certain speech will convince listeners who agree with it to take immediate unlawful action. Thus, an example of unprotected incitement would be standing in front of a government building and urging an angry mob to burn it down.
The precise standard for incitement is found in the Supreme Court's decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969). There, the Court held that the state may not "forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." 395 U.S. at 447 (emphasis in original). This is an exacting standard, as evidenced by its application in subsequent cases. For instance, the Supreme Court held in Hess v. Indiana, 414 U.S. 105 (1973), that a man who had loudly stated, "We'll take the fucking street later" during an anti-war demonstration did not intend to incite or produce immediate lawless action (the Court found that "at worst, it amounted to nothing more than advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time"), and was therefore not guilty under a state disorderly conduct statute. 414 U.S. at 108-09. The fact that the Court ruled in favor of the speaker despite the use of such strong and unequivocal language underscores the narrow construction that has traditionally been given to the doctrine and its requirements of likelihood and immediacy.
Threats and Intimidation
True threats are not protected by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court has narrowly defined "true threats" as only "those statements where the speaker means to communicate a serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals." Virginia v. Black, 538 U.S. 343, 359 (2003). The Court also defined "intimidation," in the constitutionally proscribable sense, as a "type of true threat, where a speaker directs a threat to a person or group of persons with the intent of placing the victim in fear of bodily harm or death. Id. at 360. Thus, neither term would encompass, for example, a vaguely worded statement that is not directed at any one in particular. The legal definition of threats and intimidation are important to understand because, particularly in the aftermath of the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings, there has been an increase in the number of universities using policies against threats and intimidation to punish protected speech.
Obscenity, Indecency, and Pornography
Obscene expression—loosely defined as "hard-core" depictions of sexual acts—is not protected by the Constitution. A student at a public institution does not have the right to produce, transmit, or even, in many situations, possess obscene material on campus or anywhere else.
In the 1973 case of Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973), the Supreme Court outlined three questions that must be answered to determine whether or not particular material should be classified as obscene:
- whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
- whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct; and
- whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
If the answer to each of these questions is yes, then the material does not enjoy First Amendment protection, and a university may choose to regulate its transportation, communication, or sale. However, public universities are obliged to treat indecent but non-obscene speech just as they would other expressive activity. This principle derives from the 1972 Supreme Court case of Papish v. Board of Curators of the University of Missouri, 410 U.S. 667 (1972), which concerned the expulsion of a journalism student from a state university for distributing a newspaper that contained indecent but non-obscene speech. Among other things, the newspaper reproduced a political cartoon that depicted policemen raping the Statue of Liberty. The Court held that the Constitution's protection of indecent speech applied to college campuses, and that the student therefore could not be disciplined: "[t]he mere dissemination of ideas—no matter how offensive to good taste—on a state university campus may not be shut off in the name alone of 'conventions of decency.'"
It is also important to understand that a prohibition on "obscene language," which typically means swear words, is not a legitimate prohibition on "obscenity." In fact, the Supreme Court has explicitly held that most such language is constitutionally protected. In Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), the defendant, Cohen, was convicted in California for wearing a jacket bearing the words "Fuck the Draft" into a courthouse. The Court overturned Cohen's conviction, holding that the message on his jacket, however vulgar, was protected speech.
A Note Regarding "Savings Clauses"
In order to avoid criticism for restricting free speech, some universities include "savings clauses" in their speech codes, stating that the policy's provisions do not apply to speech protected by the First Amendment. However, these clauses do not render unconstitutional speech codes constitutional.
In a 2007 decision finding a university speech code unconstitutional, a California federal judge explained the problem with such savings clauses:
The sentence that announces that nothing in this Code "may conflict" with the Education Code's prohibition on punishing students for behavior that is protected by the First Amendment appears to have even less 'saving' power. This sentence communicates virtually nothing. How are college students to be able to determine (when judges have so much difficulty doing so) whether any particular speech or expressive conduct will be deemed (after the fact) to fall within the protections of the First Amendment? We must assess regulatory language in the real world context in which the persons being regulated will encounter that language. The persons being regulated here are college students, not scholars of First Amendment law. What does a college student see when he or she encounters [the university's speech code]? That student sees a long list of mandates and proscriptions, most of which seem to describe, in terms relatively familiar to the student and with a fair amount of particularity, various forms of "Unacceptable Student Behaviors." After seeing all these prohibitions, a student who is particularly thorough and patient also could read that nothing in the Code "may conflict" with a cited state statute that prohibits universities from violating students' First Amendment rights.
What path is a college student who faces this regulatory situation most likely to follow? Is she more likely to feel that she should heed the relatively specific proscriptions of the Code that are set forth in words she thinks she understands, or is she more likely to feel that she can engage in conduct that violates those proscriptions (and thus is risky and likely controversial) in the hope that the powers-that-be will agree, after the fact, that the course of action she chose was protected by the First Amendment? To us, this question is self-answering—and the answer condemns to valuelessness the allegedly 'saving' provision in the last paragraph of the Code that prohibits violations of the First Amendment.

As China navigates the murky waters of a "third way" with liberal economic policies under a strict political regime, the surprising battleground for China's future emerges in the country's highest rated television network%mdashChina Central Television, or CCTV. With 16 internationally broadcast channels and over 1.2 billion viewers, CCTV is a powerhouse in conveying Chinese news and entertainment. The hybrid nature of the network has also transformed it into an unexpected site of discourse in a country that has little official space for negotiation. While CCTV programming is state sponsored%mdashand censored%mdashthe popularity and profit of the station are determined by the people. And as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to exert its own voice on domestic and international affairs, the prospect of finding an amenable audience becomes increasingly paramount. Through a series of interviews with a fascinating cast of power players including a director of a special topic program that incited the 1989 student movement, current and past presidents of CCTV, and producers at the frontline of the network's rapidly evolving role in Chinese culture, celebrated media analyst Ying Zhu unlocks a doorway to political power that has long been shrouded in mystery.

Arlene Blum: Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life, Authors at Google
Arlene Blum: Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life, Authors at Google
Arlene Blum has played a groundbreaking role in women's mountaineering. Best known for leading the first American%mdashand all-women's%mdashascent of Annapurna I, considered one of the world's most dangerous and difficult mountains, Blum also led the first women's team up Mt. McKinley; was the first American woman to attempt Mt. Everest; and has played a leading role in more than 20 mountain expeditions worldwide. She made the first traverse of the Great Himalaya Range of Bhutan, Nepal and India and hiked the length of the European Alps with her baby daughter on her back. Annapurna: A Woman's Place, written by Blum, has inspired tens of thousands of readers over the past 25 years. Fortune magazine selected it as one of "75 books that teach you everything you really need to know about business" and National Geographic Adventure magazine included it in list of the "hundred best adventure books of all time." Her new book, Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life, is an unforgettable account of the trails Blum pioneered, not only in mountaineering, but in science.

Ross Beyer: "NASA: Making maps to explore the Earth, Moon, and Mars", Talks at Google
High-quality planetary maps and 3D terrain models have become essential for NASA to plan exploration missions and conduct science. This is particularly true for robotic missions to the Moon and Mars, where maps are used for site selection, traverse planning, and planetary science. This is also important for studies of climate change on Earth, where maps are used to track environmental change (such as polar ice movement). In this talk, we will describe how the Intelligent Robotics Group (irg.arc.nasa.gov) at NASA Ames builds highly accurate, large-scale planetary maps and 3D terrain models from orbital imagery using novel statistical stereographic and photometric techniques. Orbital imagery includes data captured by the Apollo missions, on-going NASA and international missions, and commercial providers (such as Digital Globe). The mapmaking software that we have developed (Vision Workbench, Ames Stereo Pipeline, Neo-Geography Toolkit) is available as open-source and is widely used by scientists and mission planners.

Double Olympic gold-medal winner, James Cracknell, and his wife Beverley Turner talk to Google VP Matt Brittin about their story before and after a life-changing accident. Filmed at Google London on 4/12/12. - - - - - www.jamescracknell.com - - - - - In October 2011 James Cracknell, two-time Olympic gold-medal rower and one of the greatest endurance athletes the world has ever known, suffered a seizure at home as his young son looked on in horror. A man who had known no limits, a man who had practically achieved the impossible, was now struggling to master life's simple challenges. A year earlier, as James undertook yet another endurance challenge in Arizona, he was knocked off his bike by the wing mirror of a petrol tanker. It had smashed into the back of his head at high speed, causing severe frontal lobe damage. The doctors weren't sure if he would recover and, if he did, whether he would ever be the same again. Touching Distance is an extraordinary, honest and powerful account as James and his wife Bev confront for the first time the lasting effects that the accident has had on their lives. It is the story of a marriage, of a family and of one man's fight back to be the best husband and father he can be. From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 2164 11 ratings Time: 55:59 More in Education

This video reminded me of the many lessons I observed Nick Hockings teaching to others. He was one of the best teachers I have ever had the honor of learning from. He will be missed, but his students will carry on his messages.
Ojibwe Cultural Educator Nick Hockings Walks On
Nick Hockings, Ojibwe artist, human rights activist, and cultural consultant, walked on to the spirit world on November 30, 2012 in his home in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin. He was an educator of youth and adults for over 24 years. He was born in Hayward, Wisconsin on May 7, 1942 and was a tribal member of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe Indians.
His vision was to teach world peace and understanding through interpreting Native ways, especially the Ojibwe culture. One means of accomplishing this was to establish a recreated Ojibwe village, named Waswagoning (the place where they spear fish by torch light). Along with his wife Charlotte, they built an educational facility on the reservation in 1994 designed to give visitors authentic cultural experiences. Visitors could tour summer and winter villages complete with wigwams and cultural artifacts of the 1600s. They could play Native games, view a birch bark canoe, ricing pit, smoking racks, food caches, maple sugaring, arrow-makers lodge, several kinds of animal traps, and sites for rites of passage ceremonies. Thousands of visitors benefited from this tour and photographers have recorded many still and video images. It was the location for educational videos that appeared on television in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Canada.
Nick was instrumental in leading a dance troupe known as Blue Winds Dancing for the past five years. He and his daughter revived a weekly powwow in the Indian Bowl of Lac du Flambeau. Nick was a lead dancer in the Call for Peace drum and dance group that presented locally and in Russia, Germany, Egypt, Puerto Rico, France, and Italy.
Nick taught thousands of elementary and secondary school students as well as undergraduate and graduate students at Waswagoning and in communities around the state and Midwest. College interns lived and studied in residence for up to three weeks from Illinois institutions such as Rock Valley College, College of Dupage, Northern Illinois University, and Illinois State University. Wisconsin Indian studies students from Northland College were frequent visitors. Each year since its inception, he has set up a teaching Ojibwe village at the Indian Summer Festival in Milwaukee and touched thousands with his dances, stories, and fire-making skills. Nick's influence as a teacher and ceremonial leader was widespread and impactful.
Nick received many awards and honors throughout his career. He was nominated for the Wisconsin Equal Rights Citizen of the Year in 1991 and given the Race Unity Award in Rockford in 1992. He was selected as a consultant for the Time-Life book, The People of the Lakes in 1994. In 1998, Nick received Ogitchidaa status and was presented with an Ogitchidaa Drum at Hannahville Potowatomi Midewewin ceremonies. Along with his wife, Nick was awarded an Emmy for artistic design of a PBS video series, "Waasa-Inaabidaa – We Look In All Directions." Rand McNally chose Waswagoning Village as the "Best of the Road Editor's Pick" in 2009. Waswagoning also attained the Wisconsin Historical Preservation Award.
Nick always spoke out for justice, fairness, and human rights. He was active in the Wisconsin fish spearing controversy, the sports mascot issue, and always defended tribal treaty rights and human dignity. He was an advocate for restorative justice and negotiated with law enforcement to combat prejudice when five young non-Indian men burned his Ojibwe village. Nick had many talents and he was my hero, mentor, teacher, guide, and friend for 17 years. I am richer for knowing him.
See Nick speak about Ojibwe culture:
a great loss...so much
a great loss...so much knowledge gone but hopefully all he has taught will be utilized and thus his memory will live on..
I am one of the teachers
I am one of the teachers whose life was touched and changed by knowing Nick. He was a mentor and a friend to my students as well. His influence will be missed but he has left many behind who will do their best to continue his work.
Incredible loss. Richer for
Incredible loss. Richer for having known him is understatement.
Nick Hockings, my father
Nick Hockings, my father passed his teachings and desire to share the teachings of our Native American culture with many and in doing so I began to see how important it is to share these teachings with the world. An oath I made to my father before he passed on was that I would continue on his/our lifes mission to pass on our traditional teachings of life and culture. To contact Nick's daughter Nicole email her at firstname.lastname@example.com
Chi-Miigwetch from his daughter--"Zeegwun" The Spirit of Springtime/Nicole Larson Hockings.
That's a beautiful tribute
That's a beautiful tribute Clifford. Nick will truly be missed. But it's wonderful to hear that you will continue his work Nicole!

Commonwealth Court Judge Bonnie Brigance Leadbetter ruled in favor of Harrisburg receiver William Lynch on Monday, ordering the city to raise its earned income tax.
In an early evening ruling, the judge said the Harrisburg City Council must temporarily raise the city's EIT by 1 percent on city residents.
"We hope this will lead to some real cooperation with (the) City Council as we go forward," Lynch said in a statement.
The increase would be for one year, and petitions may be sought for future years, the judge said.
The tax hike would have generated a projected $1.7 million more in city revenue this year had it been implemented by July 1, according to the state. The projection pegged next year's EIT total at more than $5.1 million and nearly $6.9 million each year from 2014 to 2016.
The council has 15 days to approve the increase to 2 percent. If it fails to do so, councilors could be held in contempt of court.
"The court's power to direct the enactment of the tax increase or mandate a budget increase by way of a writ of mandamus against council constitutes a degree of intrusion upon the fiscal power relegated to the legislative branch under basic separation of powers principles and implicates the political question doctrine," the order reads. "However, such intrusion is appropriate under compelling circumstances or where the action or failure to act imperils another branch's ability to function."
Leadbetter said the council has "failed to act to alleviate an emergent fiscal threat to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and threatened the ability of the city government to function."
The tax increase was part of the court-approved recovery plan, but was not implemented by the council, despite Lynch's insistence. The city school district would continue to receive 0.5 percent, and the city's share would increase to 1.5 percent from 0.5 percent.
The council has favored a commuter tax, which would be levied against people who work in Harrisburg but live outside the city. The tax would still mean higher income taxes for city residents, while adding a nonresident tax.
Neil Grover, an attorney for the council, said he has not discussed legal options yet with his clients. That conversation is expected to take place before or after tonight's legislative session.
Grover, who was still reviewing the judge's order this morning, said he does not expect the council to take a vote on the increase tonight.
In a second piece of the order, the judge said the council is not required to fund the $75,500 position of communications director, which has been held by Robert Philbin.
Cory Angell, a Lynch spokesman, said the office believes the court has the best interests of Harrisburg in mind and realizes the severity of the financial situation in the city.
"Although not everything in the original recovery plan will be implemented, this is a step in helping to reduce the operating deficit that is crucial in providing essential services," he said.

This towel warmer earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it left towels the warmest and produced the most consistent heat from the outer to the inner edges of two rolled towels. After 30 minutes, The Best model heated towels to a cozy 121.6° F, warmer than the worst performing model by 31.6° F. Lesser warmers also left cold pockets toward the interior of the towel rolls, but The Best Heated Towel Warmer recorded minimal temperature variation and effectively heated the entire towel surface. The compact, lightweight unit can hold two 40" x 70" towels and can also be used to warm bathrobes, clothing, and blankets. Red and green lights indicate when heating is in progress or complete; an automatic shut-off function ensures safety. Plugs into AC. 12" H x 14 1/4" W x 11" D. (9 lbs.)

Candy Cane Sugar Cookies
This week it was time to mail our packages for the second round of Secret Baker. The theme for this round was Christmas cookies and I had plenty of resources in which to search for recipes. Have I mentioned my obsession with holiday baking magazines this year? It seems that every time I head to the store the selection grows and I find yet another magazine I simply must have :) I don't remember feeling the need to buy so many magazines last year so hopefully this problem will resolve itself before next year!
I found this recipe for candy cane cookies in Martha Stewart's Holiday Sweets magazine. They're essentially sugar cookies (with either a little almond or peppermint extract for flavoring) and I just thought they were adorable and so appropriate for the season. The recipe only calls for a few ingredients but it is a bit time consuming, between shaping the cookies and the multiple chill times required for the dough. I even roped Shane into helping me shape the cookies so I could get it done faster.
When it comes to tinting the dough, be patient - it will take time and a fair amount of kneading to get the color worked in, but you will be rewarded. I used the no taste red coloring from Wilton and needed a relatively small amount to achieve the pinkish color in my cookies. The dough is fairly easy to work with, though I did have more trouble with the tinted dough than the untinted. While forming the candy canes, the untinted dough had to be repaired several times. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see cracks that formed in the untinted dough as it baked - mainly at the spots where I'd repaired it. Next time I might try kneading the untinted dough just a bit as the kneaded tinted dough gave me no trouble at all. That said, once the cookies cooled completely they were solid and sturdy so I'm not too worried about it.
The cookies are tasty - a very good sugar cookie. I used almond extract in mine so they had just a hint of almond flavor, which is my favorite kind of sugar cookie. The recipe only makes 6 candy canes, but they are quite large. I hope my Secret Baker recipient enjoys these treats. I think they'd be perfect for your holidays gatherings, especially for the kids who will enjoy the fun candy cane shapes!
Candy Cane Cookies
from Martha Stewart Holiday Sweets
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond or peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting work surface
red food coloring, preferably gel-paste
coarse sanding sugar, for decorating
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, both extracts and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour and beat until combined.
Divide the dough in half and knead the red food coloring into one half until you reach your desired color. Form both halves of dough into disks, and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 20 minutes, or overnight. The dough can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the untinted dough into 6 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, shape each piece into a 12-inch log. Repeat with the tinted dough. Chill the logs for 10 minutes, until firm but pliable. Twist one tinted and one untinted piece together and bend at one end to form a cane. Repeat with all of the logs until you have 6 candy canes. Arrange the candy canes 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Chill at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, covered in plastic.
Preheat oven to 325 F. Bake, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are firm but not taking on any color, about 2o-24 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the cookies cool completely.
To Decorate: Brush the untinted stripes of candy cane with water. Sprinkle with sanding sugar; tap off excess. Cookies can be stored for up to 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container.

So cute Tracey! I don't have the skill or patience to make such delicate cookies...so I'll just enjoy yours! :) Great job - mary

I saw these in that Martha Stewart magazine too. You did such a great job - they look just like hers! I was contemplating making them, but I usually make mini goodies and it seems like they would turn out huge. Maybe I'll play around with a mini version - though I'm sure that's tacking on a lot more time!

I love your candy cane cookies! And at least you're using the magazines -
I'm sure I bought that baking issue too; it's probably buried under the other Dec magazines that I impulsively bought. I'm blaming you, btw, for this obsession this year! - December 9, 2009 at 2:48 PM
- Mary Ann said...
These are so cute! I made some like this last year. I would love some with peppermint extract mixed in.

I have that magazine, too, but haven't made anything from it yet. There are lots of yummy things in there, but I haven't had time with all of my other cookie baking. Maybe next week.

Tracey - these cookies are just spectacular... truly! They look straight off the pages of the magazine. You can see the attention to detail is all there... beautiful!

These look so pretty!
- December 15, 2009 at 10:11 AM
My mom has been making these cookies for as long as I can remember. They came from the Gold Medal 100th anniversary cookbook. That cookbook was the most coveted book in our home, we all said we wanted it. Thankfully my mom found copies for all of us (I must say it was the best birthday present ever! -a used, beat up copy of that book) anyway, we always sprinkle ours with crushed candy cane. I actually just made my first batch of the season on Sunday. Christmas time is finally here!

Hollywood Vacation Rental Getaways
Hollywood Getaway Information
Hollywood, Florida has been ranked as one of the ten best "action" beaches in the United States. Its laid-back atmosphere and old-time feel make the city an ideal get-away for those who want to remove themselves from the hype and glamor of south Florida's more prominent beaches. The Hollywood Beach area offers several outdoor activities,such as snorkeling schools, airboat tours, beach side parks, and chartered sailing.
When you're ready to get out of the sun, head to downtown Hollywood. A unique shopping experience can be found in Hollywood's Art and Design District. Nearby, the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood features contemporary visual and performing arts shows. You can also catch a Broadway or off-Broadway play at the Hollywood Playhouse.

The jeer: Jeers to Time Warner Cable. I had Direct TV for about 15 years and was looking to bundle to save some money. A Time Warner representative came to my home, and I showed him what I was getting with Direct TV. He told me I could get the same for $89.95 for two years, except I would have to pay extra if I got Starz. When I got my bill, it was $336.32 for two months. When talking with customer service about this, they said I was still saving money. That's not the point. I was told it was going to $89.95 for two years. Instead it's about $154.
- Cheryl Chavis, Red Springs
About Chavis: Chavis said she and her husband switched to cable around the end of October. She said she was paying about $85 a month for satellite TV, plus separate charges for telephone and Internet service.
Chavis said she was told her second bill would be $154, but instead it came to $162.36. She said she was considering going back to Direct TV.
The other side of the jeer: Time Warner spokesman Keith Poston responded by email:
"We have spoken to the customer and clarified the pricing. Mr. Chavis was quoted $89.95 for two years for the cable TV programming, which is what he is getting. But he also subscribes to other phone and Internet services from Time Warner Cable that make up the difference, including voicemail, home networking, digital movie pack and the modem lease fee. We have spoken to him and explained the bill and what services are included."
