FRIDAY, March 5, 1869.The SPEAKER took the Chair at nine o'clock, a. m.
Mr. STEWART of Rush. Mr. Speaker: I move that the House do now adjourn.
Mr. COFFROTH. Mr. Speaker: I rise to a point of order, and I desire that it should be entered on the journal, for indeed the journal is not complete unless it notice the whole of the proceedings of the House. A point of order is as much a part of the proceedings of the House as any other motion which is made in order. The point I make is this: That the journal has not been read, and it is the duty of the Speaker, on taking the Chair, first to determine that there is a quorum, and then cause the journal to be read, and then no motion is in order but a call of the House, which can be ordered, and which it is the duty of the Chair to order at any time when, in its judgment, there is not a quorum present, and it is always in order for a member to demand a call of the House, and either that or a motion to dispense with the reading of the journal are the only motions that can be made. I wish to make this point of order and if the Chair decides against it, I demand that it be placed on the journal. I made the same point yesterday morning, and the Chair ruled against it, and I have examined the journal and I find that it is not in the journal as prepared by the Clerk.
The SPEAKER. The Clerk will make the correction. I can't see how the Chair could rule otherwise. In the first place, the rules of the House admit of a motion to dispense with the reading of the journal but that motion could not be entertained, because we had no quorum. We could not put a motion to dispense with the reading without a quorum. Therefore under the same circumstances, the Chair will rule that no motion but to adjourn is in order.
Mr. COFFROTH. The motion before the House is to adjourn, and I am aware that it is not debatable. But I wish to make a single observation, and I wish also to remark, that it is not to be made from any political prejudice, or for any political purpose, and I wish to invite the attention of the House to it. And I page: 596[View Page 596] wish to say that, to my mind, there is no reason why we should remain here from day to day, till Monday. It is said we have no authority to adjourn--
Mr. VATER (interrupting.) Mr. Speaker, I rise to a point of order. The motion to adjourn is not debatable.
The SPEAKER I shall have to put the motion.
Mr. COFFROTH. I am speaking as to the duty of the Chair, and that is to a point of order, and there can be but one point considered at a time.
Mr. VATER. I make that point, that a motion to adjourn--
Mr. COFFROTH continuing. I am making the point further. I submit that the motion is not in order, as it must be evident to the Chair, that there is no quorum present, and therefore it is the duty of the Chair to have a call of the House. And if, upon a call of the House, it is determined that there is no quorum present, a motion to adjourn is then in order.
The SPEAKER. I decide that, as we all well know, we have no quorum eligible to hold seats here, and a call of the House is entirely unnecessary. And I understand that this House has the power to adjourn from day to day.
Mr. STEWART of Rush. I rise to the point, that whenever the Chair is stating a point of order the member must take his seat.
The SPEAKER. The point is well taken.
The question on the motion to adjourn was then put, and decided in the affirmative.
Mr. COFFROTH asked for a division of the House, that we may see how many members are here.
The SPEAKER. I have already declared the House adjourned.
Mr. COFFROTH. I wish that also entered on the journal.
The SPEAKER. If the gentleman had asked in time I would have entertained it.
And then--
The House took a recess till two o'clock p. m.
The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at two o'clock p. m.
Mr. WILDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I move that we adjourn till to-morrow morning.
Mr. COFFROTH. I move to amend or substitute the motion, by offering the following resolution.
The SPEAKER the motion is not amendable.
Mr. COFFEOTH. Read it, and see.
The SPEAKER. Let it be read for information.
It is a concurrent resolution, "That the present General Assembly shall adjourn sine die to-day at five o'clock p. m."
Mr. COFFROTH. Mr. Speaker, there is no reason in the world why the people of the State should be taxed with the expense of men, a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars a day--which would be four or five thousand dollars--for us to stay here till Monday--doing nothing. I submit that it is absurd--it is a mere farce. I do think--
Mr. VATER interposed an objection to debate.
Mr. COFFROTH, continuing. I was expecting it; I had no doubt but that the gentleman from Marion would find some objection; and, as there is plenty of time I hope the gentleman will state his point of order.
The SPEAKER. I will just state this: It is a question, though perhaps not a very serious question, whether or not the House has any power to adjourn sine die. The very fact that we have no quorum here, I suppose prevents us from doing any legislative business. And to adjourn sine die would perhaps regarded as a legislative act, and ineffectual, because attempted without a quorum.
Mr. RUDDELL. Mr. Speaker, is an amendment in order, to a motion to adjourn?
The SPEAKER. It is not.
Mr. COFFROTH. I do not offer it then as an amendment. I will now speak to a point of order to which there cannot attach much importance; and I do not care whether I am reported here or not. But I wish to say this to the House, (and in doing so I do not wish to be understood as too freely advising my Republican brethren) but to suppose that we have not the power to do any legislative act, where is the appeal? Who is to decide on our act? Suppose we have no power to adjourn sine die, and suppose we do so adjourn? Before whom is that decision to be reversed? Where is the appeal? [Cries of "question, question."]
The SPEAKER stated the question on the motion to adjourn.
Mr. COFFROTH. Well, Mr. Speaker, I believe I will demand the yeas and nays on that.
Mr. UNDERWOOD (in his seat.) It takes ten members.
Mr. COFFROTH. The gentleman is mistaken; five will do now.
The SPEAKER. It takes one-tenth of the members present to demand the yeas and nays on a motion to adjourn, and I think there are not more than fifty members present.
The demand was seconded by five members.
Mr. RATLIFF. Is it not a legislative act to take the yeas and nays?
The SPEAKER. It is competent to call the yeas and nays.
page: 597[View Page 597]Mr. STEWART of Rush. Pending a motion to adjourn, no other motion can be in order, except the motion to adjourn to a day certain. The motion of the gentleman from Huntington is to adjourn sine die, without day. A motion to adjourn to a day certain would take precedence.
Mr. WILDMAN. The demand for the yeas and nays has not been properly seconded. We have no official evidence that there is not a quorum present.
The SPEAKER. One tenth of the members in the hall have the right to demand the yeas and nays. The Clerk will proceed with the call. The question is on adjournment till to-morrow morning.
The yeas and nays were taken--yeas 28, nays 6--as follows:
YEAS--Messrs. Baker, Beeler, Bowen, Davidson, Davis, Dunn, Field of Lagrange, Gilham, Hall, Higbee, Hutson, Jump, Mason, Miller, Ratliff, Ruddell, Sabin, Skidmore, Smith, Stewart of Ohio,Stewart of Rush, Taber, Underwood, Vardeman, Vater, Wildman, Williams of Hamilton, and Mr. Speaker--28.
NAYS--Messrs. Admire, Coffroth, Logan, and Palmer--4.
Mr. COFFROTH (when Mr. Bates' name was called without any response) rose to this question--whether or not this House has official information that Mr. Bates has ceased to be a member of the General Assembly? and if so, he submitted the point whether the Clerk has the right to call his name, or that of any other man not a member of this House?
Mr. VATER demanded that all the names on the roll be called.
Mr. BARNETT called for the reading of the journal to determine the names of the members resigned.
The SPEAKER overruling the point, directed the clerk to proceed with the call.
Mr. DUNN, when his name was called, explained, and said: I vote aye, because, by the revolutionary acts of the Democratic minority in the House, further legislative enactments are rendered impossible--for myself, I am willing to remain here till the sixty-first day, and to the last hour of the sixty-first evening.
Mr. RUDDELL explaining. I vote aye upon this question, because I do not think I have any power--
Mr. COFFROTH interrupting. I rise to a point of order. The gentleman from Marion violates a decision of the Chair against the explanations where the question is undebateable--the Chair will hear no debate--
Mr. UNDERWOOD. If that is the case, I call the gentleman from Huntington to order.
Mr. RUDDELL continues. I vote aye, because I have no official power to vote anything else.
Mr. STEWART of Rush, when his name was called, rose to explain. But--
Mr. COFFROTH resisted his right, by pressing the same point of order.
Mr. WILDMAN rose to explain his vote.
Mr. COFFROTH again interposed the point of order.
Mr. WILDMAN (with emphasis.) I call the gentleman from Huntington to order. He has done more talking than all of us. I insist that I have a right to explain my vote.
The SPEAKER. The Chair decides that we are under a motion that excludes debate as effectually as the previous question.
Mr. WILDMAN still held the floor to say: I vote aye, because by the revolutionary action of the minority, we are unable to do any legislative act.
The SPEAKER stated the result of the vote as above, and pronounced the House adjourned.
Mr. CHITTENDEN. I would like to vote on that question.
And then--
The House adjourned, till to-morrow nine o'clock a. m.

Welcome to Danish Woolen Delight
Danish Woolen Delight shares in its philosphy with LANACare, to promote health and well-being among those who use and wear the products.
Danish Woolen Delight was started by an American-born nurse-midwife/lactation consultant living and working in Sweden during the 90's. Janice became familiar with LANACare organic wool products, made by a Danish nurse. Impressed with the woolen nursing pads & the growing line of LANACare products, which provided so many benefits for nursing mothers & babies, she decided to start importing the product line, when her family relocated back to the United States.
To complement and build upon the LANACare success, and to satisfy customer requests for high quality organic woolen long underwear for the entire family, DWD added Swiss-made Hocosa underwear products of Organic Wool and Wool/Silk blend.
Both LANACare & Hocosa products carry the coveted KbT Certification for Organic Products, meeting Europe's highest standards.
The Vermont based company is still run by Janice and her husband, Morgan.

When fired Storage Wars star Dave Hester ("Yuuup!") filed suit in December against A&E and Original Productions, accusing them of rigging the show by planting valuable items in some storage units, he reignited an old debate questioning how "real" reality TV actually is. Other series, like TLC's Breaking Amish, have weathered criticism that participants' backgrounds were embellished. And it's now widely accepted that docusoaps like MTV's The Hills were heavily scripted.
Season 1, Episode 11 Go behind the scenes with Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant to see how STUFF ranging from teleportation and samurais to zombies and bacteria gets picked for their insanely popular STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW podcast. The actual podcasts collide with the pair's sublimely ridiculous adventures as they juggle modern life with their insatiable thirst for peculiar knowledge and wacky curiosities.
Season 1, Episode 11 At HowStuffWorks Kent's persistent sleepwalking puts an embarrassing smudge on Steve's HSW growth plans, so Josh & Chuck do an amateur sleep study to find a cure. During the podcast the guys cover sleepwalking behaviors, sleep hacks and sleep deprivation.
Season 1, Episode 10 At HowStuffWorks Josh & Chuck get a chance to visit an elite space design lab. Things turn bad when Chuck's rival John Hodgman arrives, and Josh's desire to meet Elon Musk cuts the visit short. During the podcast the guys cover the privatization of space.

Hope Bres recovers soon, Lions look promising though.
Don't see how you could come to any other conclusion based on the last few months. Is Finn as good as Bresnan per-injury? No, but he is quite obviously better right now.
Yeah, cricinfo said since his comeback Bresnan is averaging 55 with the ball, whereas pre it was 23.
Something clearly awry, just hope it isn't terminal.

What's the Most Fashionable TV Show of 2013?
With top costume designers like Catherine Martin of The Great Gatsby and Trish Summerville of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, it's hard to ignore the stunning styles of this year's blockbuster hits, but that's not to say the small screen didn't hold its own in the fashion arena. Television favorites like Pretty Little Liars, Scandal, Nashville, and The Carrie Diaries have developed cult followings that extend well beyond the drama and love triangles. From sophisticated separates to more-is-more performance looks to mixed-print masterpieces, our favorite fashion-centric shows run the style gamut. While each of these primetime programs fills a different sartorial void, we're relying on your vote by Dec. 16 to help us decide which show should be crowned most fashionable for 2013!

Olivia Pope Goes Gray For Scandal's Most Shocking Reunion
With Scandal's season three well under way, Olivia and team are up to their gladiators in political and personal drama, but our favorite fixers are tackling their woes in style. From statement coats and structured suits to ladylike sets and designer accessories, Liv and company are bringing their A-game to the small screen — and proving polished separates aren't just for the boardroom. Each week, we are tracking down exact items worn by the most fierce and fashionable fixers on The Hill. After last week's emotional roller coaster — mommy dearest is back in Liv's life, Fitz has uncovered the truth about Liv's father, and Quinn's new "boyfriend" is not all he's cracked up to be— we're not sure how much more our hearts can take. Before settling in for another seat-gripping evening, get a sneak peek of all the regal looks from tonight's episode.
The Year Miley Couldn't Stop, Wouldn't Stop Wearing Crop Tops
It's no wonder Miley Cyrus has been named one of Barbara Walters's Most Fascinating People of 2013. From dramatic 'dos to jaw-dropping performances, Miley Cyrus's transition from sweet Disney darling to va-va-vixen has been a bit rocky — but we're not here to judge. Although the star has had her share of controversy, Cyrus has taken everything in stylish stride. Flaunting her fit figure in an array of designer creations on the red carpet and on stage, this year was — according to Miley — the year of the crop top and, by consequence, the bare midriff. So it should come as no surprise that we've crowned Ms. Miley the crop top queen of 2013!
Whether you love it or hate it, Miley's standout style always gets people talking — and any publicity is good publicity, right? Join us as we take a look back at all of her ab-flashing moments, then get ready for even more Miley in 2014. We know she won't let us down.
Rachel Bilson Lights Up the Small Screen in a Kenzo Sweater
We have good news and bad news. Bad news: the weekend is over. Good news: it's Monday, which means we have a new fashionable Hart of Dixie episode to pore over. HOD is well into its third season, and leading ladies Rachel Bilson and Jaime King are bringing their sartorial A-games to the small screen, just as we would expect. The belles are continuing their chic streaks, donning everything from printed knits and low-key separates to ladylike looks and punchy hues, inspiring us to re-create their signature styles with items we already have in our closets. This week, we've found Zoe's exact contrast leather pullover and embellished zigzag sweater, along with a few other inspirational pieces. Take a look back at all of the stylish ensembles from season three thus far, then shop a few — or all — of your favorite pieces from season two.
Who Was Best Dressed at the American Music Awards?
The 2013 American Music Awards brought out the crème de la crème of musical (and sartorial) talent, but only one star can be crowned queen. Katy Perry was the first to hit the red carpet, setting the bar high in a dramatic Oscar de la Renta creation. Nicole Richie oozed sexy sophistication in a daring Emilio Pucci, while Taylor Swift went for the gold in a Julien Macdonald mini. Ciara put her perfectly sculpted goodies on display in a sheer J. Mendel, and Zoe Saldana looked every bit the A-list movie star that she is in a mixed-print Roland Mouret masterpiece. With these beauties running as top contenders in this year's style battle royal, it's going to be hard to choose, but you must. Cast your vote for 2013 AMAs best dressed below!

One of the biggest nights in music has finally arrived! The 2013 American Music Awards have taken over the Nokia Theatre in LA with the hottest celebrities and most talented artists all donning award-worthy ensembles. Katy Perry was one of the first to arrive, working a dramatic Oscar de la Renta confection featuring a sweet polka-dot print and colorful add-ons.
Naya Rivera, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift were also in the mix, styling fresh and playful stunners of their own. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but we can already tell this year will be one for the sartorial books. So grab some popcorn, turn up the volume, and get your first look at every red-hot red carpet moment, right this way . . .
High Stakes Call For High Fashion on Tonight's Episode
Sex and the City earned its status as one of the — if not the — most fashionable TV shows of all time. While that show ended years ago, we're getting a new batch of Carrie Bradshaw ensembles to pore over, courtesy of The CW's prequel, The Carrie Diaries. Last season's styles were filled with the perfect mix of vibrant colors; bold, retro prints; and over-the-top accessories we would expect, and we can't wait to see what stylist Eric Daman has in store for us this season. This week, we've tracked down Carrie's vibrant pink heels — sure to sweeten up any date-night look. So crank up that cassette tape, and get ready to be carried away in style — then shop exact pieces from one of our favorite fashion-centric shows!
Say Hello to Your New Party Pants, Courtesy of Connie Britton
Supplying us with soulful songs, high-octane drama, and some serious designer looks, Nashville is quickly becoming one of our favorite fashion-centric shows. Each week we are tracking down the most dapper fashions donned by our favorite small-screen stars. This week, Scarlett (played by Clare Bowen) wowed in a fiery tulle skirt for her first tour, but even that couldn't upstage the real country queen, Ms. Rayna James (Connie Britton). The seasoned vet showered us with sexy sophistication working these lace-panel Stella McCartney leggings ($1,700) with a glistening metallic tank and mirrored pumps. Housing the perfect balance of elegance and edge, Rayna's sultry pants are an unexpected yet equally chic party substitute. Shop her exact leggings now to work with a leather cami and caged sandals, or mimic her style on a budget with this pair by David Lerner ($198).
Shailene Woodley: From American Teen to Red Carpet A-List
Shailene Woodley first gained notoriety for her role in the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, but the young beauty is on her way to superstar status with starring turns in The Descendants and Divergent, set for release in 2014, already under her belt. Shailene has handled her newfound spotlight like a pro and isn't afraid to take a risk or buck the trend. You may recall InStyle's 2012 Golden Globes afterparty when Shailene traded her high heels for a pair of Vibram FiveFingers running shoes, a bold move for any starlet new to the fashion world's hypercritical lens. Don't get us wrong, the cover girl has scored high remarks on her red carpet report card, but we're particularly smitten with her instinctive confidence.
With nothing but Hollywood hits and designer duds in her future, we are celebrating Shailene's 22nd birthday with a fashion flashback of her classic yet bold, laid-back glamour.

Miranda Kerr Makes Michael Kors Proud
Can we talk about Miranda Kerr's amazing fashion sense? It's no secret Miranda has solidified herself in the street style hall of fame, but the Australian beauty has also mastered the art of turning up the heat on the red carpet. Showcasing her flawless figure in body-hugging creations, high-shine minidresses, and carefully cutout gowns, Miranda's penchant for sexy silhouettes – like her latest Michael Kors number – makes her a red carpet favorite. To be fair, she doesn't always opt for seductive styles, as evidenced by the ethereal, embellished Valentino confection she wore at this year's Oscars party. Whether she's channeling a '50s pinup or a Grecian goddess, it's clear Miranda's style savvy knows no limits, so let's celebrate the fashion maven with a look back at her best red carpet moments yet.
Emma Stone: Double the Fashion, Double the Fun
Emma Stone is a phenomenal actress, red carpet ace, and an all-around American beauty who's captured the hearts of everyone around her — even Ryan Gosling is under Stone's spell gushing, "Show me someone who wouldn't give it all up for Emma Stone and I'll show you a liar." Though the A-lister's adventurous fashions run the style gamut, from dark and dramatic gowns to opulent party minis, her continued sartorial success has much to do with her winning red carpet formula. Emma stays true to figure-flattering silhouettes, statement hues, and fresh-faced makeup to get the most bang for her buck — and who could blame her?
In honor of the golden girl's birthday, we're doubling down with a look back at Emma's twinning red carpet ensembles in a feature we like to call "Emma Stone: Styles so Nice, She's Worked Them Twice."
Pretty Little Liars' Leading Ladies: Off Screen and On-Trend
As the stars of Pretty Little Liars, Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson, and Troian Bellisario always seem to be donning the latest trends — but these leading ladies have just as much, if not more, street style cred off screen. While some friends thrive on imitating each other's sartorial musings, what makes these posh pals stand out is their contrasting signature styles. Lucy gravitates toward low-key pieces, Ashley owns the cool-girl uniform of vintage tees and leather jackets, Shay is drawn to electrifying colors and sweet-yet-edgy prints, and Troian, the self-proclaimed "bad shopper," has been rocking borrowed-from-the-boys looks since long before it was a trend.
With Pretty Little Liars currently on hiatus, we are looking to the girls' offscreen style to fill our fashion void. Sit back, relax, and get ready to fall further in love with these trendsetting females.
Do You Know All of Julia Roberts's Most Iconic Movie Looks?
With model-worthy looks, extraordinary acting chops, and a megawatt smile that precedes her signature infectious laugh, Julia Roberts was clearly destined to be a star. From girl next door to red carpet ace, Julia's captured and held our attention for over a quarter century with her award-winning styles on and off screen. Though we may have been a little young to grasp the full concept of Pretty Woman, we could still appreciate the fierce fashions — and memorize every line as if it was our job, which ironically aided in the writing of this post. From endearing streetwalker to best-friend-turned-love-interest to spiritual seeker, Julia has had us mesmerized with her screen style since day one.
Today marks Julia's 46th birthday, though she doesn't look a day over 21, and what better way to honor the A-lister than a look back at her most iconic movie looks. We can't wait to see what her sartorial future holds — after all, she's got moves we've never seen.

How Katy Perry Transformed Her Red Carpet Style
Katy Perry is known for her bold beauty looks, theatrical ensembles, and chart-topping beats, but each year brings a more mature Katy — and with that, a more refined style. From satin skater dresses and sheen tights to ethereal designer gowns and decadent accessories, the pop princess has had quite the red carpet transformation. While her style has taken a more sophisticated turn, Katy would never completely abandon her signature whimsy, showcasing the perfect balance of fantasy and finesse in her latest looks.
Today marks Ms. Perry's 29th birthday, and we are celebrating with a red carpet retrospective. Whether you're a self-proclaimed "Katy Cat" or a Perry rookie, everyone can appreciate the playful, polished, and downright prodigious creations Katy has donned through the years. Click on to honor the fashion-forward icon.
You Can't Get Connie Britton's Hair, But You Can Get Her Jeans
There are three reasons we tune into Nashville every Wednesday night: the stellar singing, the heart-pounding drama, and the bigger-is-better fashion. Each week we are tracking down the most fashionable ensembles donned by country singers Rayna James (played by Connie Britton) and Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), along with similar items to help you re-create your favorite Nashville looks. While we are hoping tonight's episode brings answers for Rayna's pending career, we couldn't help but notice the statement-making 7 For All Mankind jeans ($395) she worked on stage. Though Rayna doubled up on shimmer by topping her sassy skinny jeans with this embellished L'Agence tank ($325), the dual-textured denim — metallic tweed front and solid, body-slimming back — will liven up the most basic of blouses. Take a cue from this country crooner, and shop her exact pants pronto.
Pretty Little Liars Halloween: All the Costumes!
Tonight brings the highly anticipated Halloween-themed midseason finale of Pretty Little Liars, and our favorite liars went all out in custom period costumes, by wardrobe stylist Mandi Line, for the Ravenswood Halloween soiree. Aria oozed gothic glamour in a lace and satin ensemble, Spencer looked picturesque in an authentic Victorian creation, Hanna took the roaring '20s to new heights via decadent accessories, and Emily's sexy mobster get-up would have Al Capone weak in the knees. It's a Halloween style battle of epic proportions! Step inside to get a closer look at their incredible costumes, then vote for your favorite.
Can't wait until January 2014 for the second half of Season 4? Satisfy your PLL craving with a look back at all of the inspirational looks donned by Rosewood's style set thus far.
Hart of Dixie Wraps Up Season Two in Style — Shop the Looks!
Did Zoe leave Bluebell for good? Will the Rammer Jammer bring success for Lemon and Wade? Hart of Dixie's season two finale left us with a slew of unanswered questions, but thankfully, our favorite Bluebell residents didn't disappoint on the style front. This season, HOD's style setters supplied us with an array of gorgeous looks to take from the small screen to real life with ease. Leading ladies Rachel Bilson and Jaime King showcased their different — but equally chic — signature styles through printed knits, luxe textures, and ladylike looks. Before we bid adieu to our favorite belles, take a trip down memory lane, then shop a few — or all — of your favorite pieces from season two.
Queen of the Crop: Gwen Stefani's Ultimate Ab-Baring Looks
Though style setters like Jessica Alba, Diane Kruger, and Lily Collins have recently embraced the crop top trend, Gwen Stefani has been flaunting her enviable abs for over a decade. From her No Doubt era to her designer days to motherhood — can you believe she has two adorable kids and possibly another bundle on the way? — ab-baring separates have been a constant in Gwen's rocker-chic style since day one. The style chameleon has made a strong case for the once-risqué fashion, revealing hours of gym dedication in figure-flashing ensembles on stage and the red carpet. In honor of Gwen's special day, we are counting down her top 30 midriff-baring outfits, then hitting the gym to log a few crunches.

Korematsu v. United States (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214, 65 S. Ct. 193, 89 L. Ed. 194 (1944), was a controversial 6 decision of the Supreme Court that affirmed the conviction of a Japanese American citizen who violated an exclusion order that barred all persons of Japanese ancestry from designated military areas during WORLD WAR II.
Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu, an American citizen of Japanese descent, was convicted in federal court for remaining in a designated military area in California contrary to a Civilian Exclusion Order issued by an army general that required persons of Japanese ancestry to report to assembly centers as a prelude to mass removal from the West Coast. He unsuccessfully appealed his conviction to the circuit court of appeals and was granted certiorari by the Supreme Court.
The order that Korematsu was convicted of violating was based upon an EXECUTIVE ORDER, which authorized the military commander to establish military zones and impose restrictions on activities or order exclusion from those areas in order to protect against ESPIONAGE and sabotage. Federal law made violation of these orders a crime. The entire West Coast and southern Arizona were designated as military zones. The restriction and exclusion orders applied to all enemy ALIENS and additionally to American citizens of Japanese ancestry. Pursuant...

Korematsu v. United States (Supreme Court Drama)
Petitioner: Toyosaburo Korematsu
Respondent: United States
Petitioner's Claim: That convicting him for refusing to leave the West coast during World War II violated the U.S. Constitution.
Chief Lawyers for Petitioner: Wayne M. Collins and Charles A. Horsky
Chief Lawyer for Respondent: Charles Fahy, U.S. Solicitor General
Justices for the Court: Hugo Lafayette Black, William O. Douglas, Felix Frankfurter, Stanley Forman Reed, Wiley Blount Rutledge, Harlan Fiske Stone
Justices Dissenting: Robert H. Jackson, Frank Murphy, Owen Josephus Roberts
Date of Decision: December 18, 1944
Decision: The Supreme Court said Korematsu's conviction was constitutional.
Significance: In Korematsu, the Supreme Court tacitly approved laws and military orders that sent Japanese Americans into confinement during World War II.
On December 7, 1941, Japan brought the United States into World War II by attacking the American Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Japan killed 2,043 Americans during the surprise attack and destroyed American warships and aircraft. The next day, Congress declared war on Japan.
After being surprised at Pearl Harbor, the United States feared Japan would attack or invade along the Pacific coast. In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066. President Roosevelt said wartime success depended on protecting the United States from espionage and sabotage. In his executive order, the president gave the military authority to define and take control over vulnerable areas of the country.
Lieutenant General DeWitt was in charge of the U.S. military in the westernmost part of the nation. On 27 March 1942, General Dewitt issued an order preventing persons of Japanese descent from leaving the West coast region. On May 3, 1942, General DeWitt issued another order forcing Japanese Americans to leave the West coast region through a Civil Control Station. The combined effect of both orders was to allow the United States to round up Japanese Americans for confinement in internment camps during the war. The purpose of confinement was to prevent Japanese Americans from helping the Japanese Empire in its war against the United States. The United States made no effort to distinguish between loyal and disloyal Japanese Americans.
Civil Disobedience
Toyosaburo Korematsu, who went by the name of Fred, was an American citizen of Japanese descent. Korematsu lived in San Leandro, California, near San Francisco. Korematsu was rejected for military service for health reasons but had a good job in the defense industry. Korematsu was a loyal, law-abiding American citizen in every way.
Korematsu did not think it was right for the United States to force Japanese Americans into internment camps. Instead of obeying the military orders, he fled from the San Francisco Bay area. Determined to escape confinement, Korematsu had some minor facial surgery, changed his name, and pretended to be a Mexican American. Eventually, however, he was arrested and charged with disobeying the military order to leave the West coast.
Korematsu pleaded not guilty and fought the government's case. He said the United States had no power to send an entire race of Americans into confinement when they had done nothing wrong. The court, however, convicted Korematsu and put him on probation for five years. The military then seized Korematsu, sent him to an Assembly Center, and eventually confined him in an internment camp in Topaz, Utah. Meanwhile, Korematsu took his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Military Orders Reign Supreme
With a 6 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the United States. Justice Hugo Lafayette Black wrote the Court's opinion. Justice Black said the government needs an extremely good reason for any law that limits the civil rights of an entire racial group. Sadly, the Court found a good reason in the federal government's military powers.
The U.S. Constitution gives the president and Congress certain war powers. Congress has the power to declare war and to provide for the defense of the United States. The president is the commander-in-chief of
Justice Black said it was reasonable for the military to order all Japanese Americans to leave the West coast. Although not all Japanese Americans were disloyal, some were. During investigations after the relocation, five thousand Japanese Americans refused to swear unqualified allegiance to the United States or to renounce allegiance to the Japanese Emperor. Several thousand even asked to be sent back to Japan.
Justice Black said that under the war emergency that existed after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the government did not have time to separate the loyal from the disloyal. It was reasonable, then, to order all Japanese Americans to leave the vulnerable area of the West coast. By refusing to obey that order, Korematsu had violated federal law and his conviction was constitutional.
To the dismay of many, the Court refused to decide whether it was legal to confine Japanese Americans in internment camps. Korematsu had only been convicted for refusing to leave San Leandro to report to a Civil Control Station. He was not convicted for refusing to report to an
Concentration Camps
Justices Robert H. Jackson, Frank Murphy, and Owen Josephus Roberts dissented, which means they disagreed with the Court's decision. These justices thought it was unfair for the Court to avoid the question of whether internment was legal. After all, the only reason for requiring Korematsu to report to a Civil Control Station was to send him to an Assembly Center for delivery to an internment camp.
The internment of Japanese Americans deeply disturbed the dissenting justices. Justice Roberts called it a "case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry." Justice Murphy called the relocation racial discrimination that deprived Americans of their right to live, work, and move about freely. Justice Jackson warned that the Court's decision would be a "loaded weapon ready for the hand of any authority" that decided to imprison an entire race of Americans in the future.

Topic Review (Newest First) |
LLong2011 | Ok, thanks! I will Yesterday my husband was holding my son and we were all in the yard just playing around and Tracer(my GSD) came up to him and started licking his feet! lol he doesn't really acknowledge him very much...we'll see! Thanks for your help |
MaggieRoseLee |
Read those link I put up. I think if you follow them you will be fine. Just make sure life is NOT all about the new baby and ignoring/isolating your dog. They are BOTH family members and you just need to do the intro well, you always present. Think you are right to make sure you start with a baby that doesn't move much and you can more easily control the situation. |
LLong2011 | Thank for responding! We did socialize him by taking him in public and taking him for walks but as he got old it became harder and harder to take him in public because he would always bark at people....we keep him put up when company comes over...their is only a select few that he can be around without being aggressive. We practiced have a baby doll when I was pregnant and treated it as if it were real...he didn't really act interested in that. He has never been face to face with a child...the only children he has seen has been from his kennel and he goes nuts when they're running by....I think he wouldn't be agressive because my son is still young and isn't "running around"...getting pregnant kinda just happend so as far as his "raising" we didn't do much prepareing for his ways with children....is their any hope for him? He is great for protection which is why we got him because my husband goes out of town a lot and at night...I feel so safe with him inside. |
MaggieRoseLee |
In the past 2.5 years with your GSD, how have you been socializing him? How has he been with all the other infants and children you've introduced him to in preparation for the addition of your baby? How was he in dog classes? Can you contact your instructor and possibly set up some more sessions with them in a controlled environment? I'm sure all the prep work you did, knowing a baby was coming into the house, will pay off. Of course we are all anxious but that's why we do all the work when we first get a puppy! To make them a real member of the family and train, socialize, introduce them before a situation arises. The one thing we do that is bad (and hard to prevent with the uproar of a new infant) is completely change our normal routine and pattern, unintentionally IGNORING our dog and instead focusing all our lives around the new baby. So the normal 'dog time' and walks/training/house time are in an uproar so our dogs can be so upset and realize that it's CLEARLY the new baby's 'fault' because their humans aren't doing what they need to do with the dog. NORMAL with a baby is what life should be. Not CHAOS with a new baby in the house and dog now an ignored problem and outsider. It's not your DOGS fault you had a baby, so to isolate the dog, treat them like they are 'bad' and as if they are being punished from something they never asked for or probably wanted isn't fair. Specially because it's so easy to do the work ahead of time for a smooth transition.

LLong2011 |
Introducing male GSD to 5 month old baby I have a 2 and a half year old GSD and a 5 month old baby. I am SO scared in introduce the two because I am afraid that my GSD will bite/attack the baby. He is not aggressive towards me or my husband but it still scares me because I don't want my son to be scard for LIFE! But if I don't introduce them to each other soon then I am afraid I will have to get rid of him. I have a neice who was just visiting this weekend and when my GSD was in his kennel outside he barked VERY aggressively at her like he wanted to attack her...she's over one and is walking around so I just don't think he knows "what she is".....he was an inside pet from the time we got him but has been outside since the arrival of our son who is 5 months old. Has anyone had this problem??? Please help! I love him but I love my son more. |

the only game I've seen that was worthy of a download was that monkey game.i have every game that everyone says Is basically the top games on the platform. The game selection on wp8 isn't getting better, if anything it is getting worse. I downloaded a bunch of games on my iPhone this week but 1 or 2 on WP. Microsoft seriously needs to start doing something to catchup. You can't grow the platform.with apps that look like flash games from 1999.
Here's a list of games I liked enough that I went and bought them:
Contre Jour
Crimson Dragon
Jet Car Stunts
Little Acorns
Mirror's Edge
Parachute Panic
Dice Battles +
Doom And Destiny (free, it crashes too often but is a great game otherwise)
Wordament (also free)
I do think Windows Phone is seriously lacking when it comes to games in two ways. First, there simply isn't enough of a selection, but secondly, too many games aren't optimized for HD screens. I hope that's a trend that changes soon. - 01-10-2013, 03:45 PM #8Thanked by:
Doom and Destiny but it's a little unstable. Great game that crashes every 10-15 minutes.
Best I've recently downloaded is Dragon's Blade. It's a testament to how poor the Marketplace used to be for finding popular games because this has been around since WP7 and I never found it. If you like old school RPGs it's worth the 79p - 01-14-2013, 08:04 AM #17
I'm finding Wordament to be good fun. AlphaJax is also great. Wordament is hilarious though.
Me: Hmm, let's try a rotation *rotates tiles*
Me: Oh, there's a word *swipes in word*
Phone: "DING!" *toast notification pops up titled Spin Cycle*
I nearly dropped the phone in surprise as volume was on full, didn't see that achievement coming!
"Fortune cookie said: 'Outlook not so good'. I said: 'Sure, but Microsoft ships it anyway'." - 01-14-2013, 04:22 PM #19
Where's my water, great little game but it kills battery like mad.
Also downloaded Reaction. Two player quick reaction game. Basic to look at but fun :) honestly give it a try.
I would have bought Spy mouse but its too expensive on wp for my liking. - 01-15-2013, 12:11 AM #24
If you dont want to spend your money, ook into bing rewards, you get points for searching, and you can use the points for things, like amazon gift cards, skype scredit..etc, but I use mine for WP8 markekplace money, its about 525 bing points for $5 in the phones store, or 160 for $1.25 you can earn up to 15 points a day, but its easy & most importantly you can help support the devs who make good products for us without really spending your own money. Hopefully, that will bring other devs to our platform

Nuclear Waste Management
Types of Waste
Nuclear waste falls into the following four broad categories:
- Very low-level waste (VLLW) contains negligible amounts of radioactivity, which can, depending on the clearance level, be disposed of in a dedicated surface site or with domestic refuse.
- Low-level waste (LLW) contains small amounts of radioactivity and negligible amounts of long-lived waste.
- Intermediate-level waste (ILW) contains higher amounts of radioactivity and does require shielding in the form of lead, concrete or water. It is further categorised into short-lived and long-lived. The former is dealt with in a similar way to LLW and the latter to HLW.
- High-level waste (HLW) is highly radioactive, contains long-lived radioactivity and generates a considerable amount of heat.
Compared to the amount of electricity produced in an average nuclear power plants over its lifecycle, the amount of HLW produced is physically manageable. According to Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO), forty years of operation at a nuclear power plant at a 90 percent capacity factor produces 970m3 of spent fuel for disposal (capacity is 2 x 840 MW). Annually, this volume of waste would fit comfortably in six London black cabs.

Presented to: Andrew Hall
For: Mormon Literature Year in Review
Documenting a community, especially one as far-flung and diverse as that of Mormon letters, is a time-consuming, thankless task. And yet, every January since 2001, Andrew Hall has compiled and published online a Mormon Literature Year in Review, summarizing publishing events, trends, reviews, and news of popular, literary, and mainstream-published fiction, drama, film and personal essays by, for, and about Mormons. This body of work is invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the current state of Mormon narrative art — and will continue to be for future scholars in the field of Mormon Studies. In 2011, Andrew expanded his service to the community by supplementing these annual reports with his "This Week in Mormon Literature" summary posts to the AML blog, which have become a must-read for anyone with an ongoing interest in the current shape and future directions of Mormon letters. For these services, the Association for Mormon Letters is pleased to recognize Andrew Hall with a special award for literary journalism.

Ive been using these headphones for months now as a replacement for my much loved Sennheiser CX-300s. I listen to a mix of rock, metal and trance music and you are totally spot on with your review. When i first bought these headphones, I was a little disappointed with the high end, the mids were pretty decent and the bass could be a little more punchy if you tweaked it with an EQ which the app i use has. I prefer my CX-300's over the MA-350 but those are no longer in production. I will most likely get a set of hifiman RE-400's later on to see if that suits me better :EDIT: I decided i couldnt wait and purchased some RE-400's off a U.S ebay seller. there are no UK retailers.
Well I have the HiFiMan RE-400s here.... listening to some Japanese metalcore on my SGS3... the clarity in the RE-400s compared to the MA-350s = no contest. the RE-400 wins hands down. RE-400s have a better mids and highs but I find the highs still lacking in detail. But this could be because they need some burn in time. the MA-350s love bass, but to them point where it can be overwhelming and drown everything else out and its hard to balance it out in the EQ. where as the RE-400s are almost perfect. IMO they are almost perfectly balanced but it lacks that bass, though Id hardly call this a negative point. Its got just enough bass not to drown out the rest of the frequencies so it doesnt sound muddy or overdriven. with very little tweaking of the EQ I made it so there is a little punch to the bass but as a whole the RE-400s are a definite no no for bass heads. As for which pair of headphones I like the most. well as much as i love the MA-350s the RE-400s are definitely high up on my list. I let my playlist shuffle over the next week or so then I will probably come back and update my findings once these RE-400s have had time to settle down. I have allsorts of genres on my playlists ranging from classical arrangements to rock, and from Techno/electronica to something more progressive and 'Djent'
Thanks for sharing your impressions! I think we share the same opinion on the two in-ears Cheers, Fred

Ty Lawson injury update: Nuggets guard out with plantar fascia tear
POSTED: 5:27 PM Mar 29 2013
UPDATED: 5:27 PM Mar 29 2013
Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson, who fuels the NBA's fastest offense, is out with a plantar fascia tear in his right heel, the team announced. Lawson sat out three games with the heel injury and returned against the Spurs but could not play at full strength, saying the pain was so great that he "could not move." A plantar fascia tear is the same injury that kept the Lakers' Pau Gasol out for six weeks. He came back to the lineup and has played four games thus far, with his minutes and production increasing each night.
