Approaching her retirement, Zofia Dubicka went to register for her Social Security benefits in March when a clerk delivered stunning news.
"You're not a U.S. citizen," he told her.
She was incredulous. Then devastated.
"I just started crying. I said to him, 'Are you sure?' He said, 'Yes ma'am, I am.' "
She thought: "How could that be?"
Dubicka, who will turn 67 on Saturday, has lived in Northern Virginia for 24 years. Before that, on New York's Long Island for four decades. Her family had fled Poland at the end of World War II, and all this time she thought that she had been born on a farm in Germany. They immigrated to the United States when she was 3, and she vividly remembers the day her father became a naturalized citizen in 1961, when she was a teenager.
"Zofia, now you are a free American citizen, too," she remembers him saying. "You can be anything you want to be, go anywhere you want to go."
But now at a federal office in Fredericksburg, Va., the clerk was telling her she was not who she thought she was.
Worried about the possibility of not being able to claim her Social Security benefits, Dubicka immediately started what she assumed would be the long process of applying for U.S. citizenship. Then three weeks ago, the immigrations officer assigned to her case told her about another shock that she had discovered deep in Dubicka's family's immigration records: She had been born in a displaced-persons camp, in Westrhauderfehn, Germany - not on a farm.
"My parents never talked about it," Dubicka said this week. "On Sunday after church, all the relatives gathered for a big meal, and the only thing my father said was how bad Hitler was, how terrible everything had been, and how lucky we were to be here."
Immigration services officer Patricia Smith, who was assigned to Dubicka's case, said if Dubicka's mother had also been naturalized before the daughter turned 18, Dubicka would have automatically been a citizen. But her mother never filed for citizenship.
Dubicka's sister, who has since died, was born in the United States in 1951, and so was automatically an American. The mix of legal residents and citizens in a family is not unusual among immigrants, Smith said, and that can add to the confusion in which someone assumes he or she is a citizen, until learning otherwise.
"It's a lot more common than people realize," Smith said. "It usually turns up when you apply for benefits at some point, and that's when people start inquiring."
Smith said it was "very understandable" that Dubicka assumed she was a citizen. "But all she had was that little immigration visa."
The yellowed permanent residency card, which Dubicka found in her parents' files after they died in the 1970s, shows a toddler staring seriously into the camera, a relic of their arrival at Ellis Island in 1949. She had no birth certificate, and her German baptismal certificate was in tatters.
But she knew her birth date was Sept. 14, 1946. And she provided immigration officials her driver's license, her residency card and a Social Security card, which are available to non-citizens. She had never registered to vote, never needed a passport and had never been summoned to jury duty. She had years of tax returns, her certified nursing assistant diploma and plenty of other documents proving her integration into American life.
And she was determined to become a citizen. "I don't give up," she said. "Just like my father and mother must have been to get out of that [displaced-persons] camp, I'm very persistent."
Her family spent three years in the camp in northwestern Germany before being admitted to the United States. They settled in New York, near an aunt and uncle who sponsored them. Her father found work in a steel mill while her mother became a homemaker. They rarely talked of the war and made no mention of the camp or how they ended up there, Dubicka said.
Their reticence did not surprise Mark Wyman, emeritus professor of history at Illinois State University, who wrote a 1989 book, "DPs: Europe's Displaced Persons 1945-1952."
"It was very, very common that the kids grew up not knowing anything," Wyman said. The United States accepted only 400,000 refugees, and those only after several years of delay. At the start of World War II, Poland had been split between Germany and Russia, so "when the war ended, people in Poland and the Baltics retreated with the Germans, in hopes of getting to the Americans or British. They went as far as they could, and many ended up in the camps."
After a normal American childhood on Long Island, Dubicka Americanized her first name to Sophia, married and started using her husband's surname of Goldston. They had four daughters. The couple separated about 25 years ago, just when the New York medical center where she worked started cutting back. Dubicka moved to Alexandria, Va. after she heard there was plenty of work in the region. She moved to Fredericksburg two years ago.
Animated and friendly, she now works at the front desk of a Fairfax, Va. pediatric lung center, where she is used to calming down upset patients and parents, sorting through complicated medical forms and organizing office procedures.
That experience came in handy in the spring as she began filling out forms and collecting documents in her effort to become a U.S. citizen.
Dubicka's interview with Smith was scheduled for mid-August. Smith, the immigration officer assigned to help her become a citizen, found the family's immigration and naturalization records "in a nice, neat package because nobody had opened it in years and years," Smith said.
The Washington district office of the Department of Homeland Security's Citizenship and Immigration Services has caught up on its once-fearsome backlog. It takes five months on average from the time an application file is completed to naturalization; in 2008, the wait was closer to 13 or 14 months, an agency spokesman said.
The background investigation into Dubicka went smoothly, and she had collected all the necessary paperwork. All that was left was the citizenship test, which she easily passed. She planned to return to the Social Security office Thursday morning and finish registering for benefits. She has begun returning her legal documents to her birth name, reclaiming Zofia Dubicka as her new American identity.
On Tuesday night, she gathered outside Alexandria City Hall along with 24 others from 14 countries.
Dressed in pearls and a sparkling American-flag brooch, Dubicka raised her right hand and swore allegiance to the only home she's known for the past 64 years. Then she kissed the small flag she'd been given, and waved it.

Judge Takes Red Pen to Legal Bills in Apple-Samsung FeudThe Recorder 2012-11-12 00:00:00.0 The lawyers may bill clients as much as $1,000 an hour. But U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal is counting pennies. Grewal on Wednesday ordered Samsung Electronics Co. to pay $21,554.14 to Apple Inc. and Apple to pay $160,069.41 to Samsung as sanctions for separate discovery violations in their epic patent suit, Apple v. Samsung, 11-1846. To arrive at his sums, the San Jose magistrate slashed the hourly rates sought by Samsung's lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, which exceeded the rates requested by Apple's lawyers at Morrison & Foerster. It was clear from his 21-page order that Grewal, a former IP litigator, also had a sharp eye on sloppy billing practices. "Unfortunately, despite two opportunities to submit detailed and accurate supporting invoices, the parties have left the court to parse through bare descriptions of their attorneys' activities," Grewal scolded. The magistrate, appointed in 2010, specifically took issue with block billing that failed to detail how attorneys spent the hours they worked and with apparent overstaffing. In August a federal jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion finding Samsung's smartphones and tablets infringed on Apple's patents. Samsung's demand for sanctions resulted from Apple's failure much earlier in the case to turn over certain deposition testimony. Samsung had sought $256,200 from Apple in connection with preparation of three motions to compel. Grewal noted that one Quinn Emanuel associate, Curran Walker, billed 93.5 hours for "substantial assistance with all aspects of the preparation" of pleadings for Samsung. "How were those hours divided among the various tasks?" Grewal wrote. "Is it reasonable that Walker spent nearly two work weeks on a motion for sanctions when two partners, three other associates and innumerable contract attorneys were also staffed on the motion? The court can only guess at the answers to those questions because Samsung offers only the barest description of Walker's activities." Grewal also scrutinized 50 hours of work billed at $1,035 an hour by London-based Quinn Emanuel partner Marc Becker. "The court tends to find it unreasonable that a partner with almost 25 years of experience needed 50 hours to draft a 14-page motion and to review a 15-page reply, especially when five associates also billed 85.8 hours for the same motion," Grewal wrote. Becker's hourly fee settled at $800, after Grewal deflated his firm's rates based on an annual survey from the American Intellectual Property Law Association. The highest hourly rate from a Quinn Emanuel associate was reduced from $620 to $470. Samsung's requests did not reference the billing rate for Quinn Emanuel star litigator Charles Verhoeven, who led Samsung's trial team. Grewal was somewhat kinder to Apple's request for $29,167 in attorney fees, stemming from Samsung's foot-dragging in the production of documents during the preliminary injunction phase of the case. "Apple at least breaks down the hours by task," he wrote. However, Grewal concluded Apple had also requested fees beyond those it was entitled to and applied a "20 percent haircut." Grewal also denied attorney fees for Apple's preparation of motions to seal, which has been a flash point between the court and companies involved in the patent suit. "The court refuses to incentivize more sealing actions," he wrote. This article originally appeared in The Recorder. |

Gaga's Oval Office Affair, Miley's Kitty, and Timberlake vs. Silverman Top List of AMAs' Most Watchable Moments
Chris Willman at Yahoo Music10 days agoNo one would usually describe the performances on the American Music Awards as "a race to the top." Yet for the better part of the three hours, more artists than not seemed determined to keep it classy, including several who've been known for pushing TV's sexual boundaries in the past. There was an obvious reason for that. The attention whores of the decade, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga, were booked to close the show. So while Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, and J.Lo have all certainly had their controversial moments in the past, they knew better than to risk being knocked for failing to beat the current queens of pop at the shock-value game.
So were Miley and Gaga worth the nearly three-hour wait? And did the 2013 AMAs deserve "Wrecking Ball," or deserve a wrecking ball? Here's a recap of the show's highlights:
Did JFK's Death Really Make It Possible for Beatlemania to Live?
Chris Willman at Yahoo Music13 days agoAs in, "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
The Beatles/JFK connection is one that won't die. The question forever looms: would we still have needed them — would we still have fed them, with our dollars and screams— if the President had still been alive when they broke out in '64? Would moptops have taken over the world anyway, even if the king of Camelot hadn't been slain before America's very eyes?
Only Rod Serling himself could come up with the alternate reality in which we could say for sure how the Fabs' career (and the counterculture they subsequently ushered in) would have gone if it had been business as usual through a Kennedy administration. But clearly America was living through its own Twilight Zone in the funk that followed 11/22/63. And for 50 million adolescents in search of an exit, there was nothing to replace a shining young role model in a suit like four even sunnier and even younger heroes in suits.
The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia is among those who remembered the Beatles' emergence in those dark days as "a happy flash, post-Kennedy assassination. Like the first good news."
Remembering Nirvana's 'Unplugged': Cobain's Battles Nearly Pulled Plug on Classic Appearance
Chris Willman at Yahoo Music19 days agoNirvana taped their appearance on MTV Unplugged 20 years ago this week, resulting in the most memorable episode of that venerable franchise, as well as what's generally regarded as one of rock's best live albums ever. After Kurt Cobain died five months later, this unusually quiet turn for the band became even more beloved, as a sort of prophetic self-eulogy the mercurial rocker left his fans.
The band's appearance at Sony Studios in New York on Nov. 18, 1993 went down so smoothly that few could have guessed just how closely the show flirted with disaster, or what kind of turmoil had gone on between the scenes beforehand — between Cobain and MTV, Cobain and his bandmates, and Cobain and his own misery-wracked body. That they got through the show at all, let alone pulled off something that would turn into a 5-million-selling album, fell into the category of miracle.
Relations between Cobain and drummer Dave Grohl (later to be a star frontman in his own right, with the Foo Fighters) were not necessarily at their peak, for starters.
CMAs Backstage: Miranda Discusses Getting Skinny; Taylor Talks Strait; George Talks Retirement
Chris Willman at Our Country28 days agoBackstage at the CMA Awards, there was the usual amount of discussion about who got statues and why. But one of the other big topics was how Miranda Lambert got either more or less (depending on your viewpoint)... statuesque .
In three words: Girlfriend is slim.
"I just feel like I needed to get ahead of the game," Lambert told the assembled press. "I'm gonna turn 30 on Sunday, and people say, are you okay about it? I guess I am, but I guess I'm not. Because I feel like everybody always says it goes down hill from there, so I just thought, maybe if I can get ahead of it a little, I can kind of not have to work so hard later in life."
Not that many of us were complaining about her previous look, and in fact, Lambert was celebrated as a normal-sized gal. But she used the dawning milestone as occasion to think about turning over a new leaf. "All through my 20s, I worked a lot. I was on the road since I was 17, and the road life is a lot of fast food and a lot of late nights and a lot of drinking. I didn't give up drinking — I refuse! I'd give up my husband. You have to drink to put up with that. Just kidding." Heh.
Top 10 CMA Highlights: Kacey Musgraves Gets Censored, King George Reclaims His Throne, and Princess Taylor Stays Sweet
Chris Willman at Our Country28 days agoBlake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean were showing up for a coronation, and they just didn't know it. King George — as in Strait — was reinstalled on the throne as the CMA Awards' Entertainer of the Year Wednesday night, and his subjects had to divide the spoils.
But spoils there were, in one of the better paced and least painful music awards shows in recent memory. Here were the night's 10 most memorable moments: Kacey Musgraves gets progressive ... and censored! The wider world still doesn't know what the Best New Artist winner was suggesting that people do — "or don't" do— since ABC cut her mic each time the chorus of "Follow Your Arrow" came around to the line "roll up a joint." When asked by Billboard after the show about the network's decision, Musgraves expressed she thought it was a bit ironic. "I guess for some reason people feel the need to censor that word, but they leave 'crack' in," she said.
On CMAs Eve, Country Stars Predict Entertainer of the Year: It's Luke
Chris Willman at Our Country29 days agoAt Tuesday night's BMI Awards in Nashville, we queried the stars on the red carpet about who they expected to win Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards tonight. We figured there would be a lot of hemming and hawing, because for the first time in memory, it seems like any of the five contenders has a legitimate shot at it. Luke Bryan seems like the man of the moment; Taylor Swift is arguably the biggest star in music right now, period; Blake Shelton got it last year, and isn't getting any less entertaining; Jason Aldean has been country's biggest breakout star of the last five years; and George Strait is a sentimental favorite.
A few of the artists did hesitate, but for many, if not most, the answer was on their lips before we could even get the question out: It'll be Luke Bryan.
Lauren Alaina Shares Brave New Song About Family Alcoholism
Chris Willman at Our Country29 days agoLauren Alaina is in country music for keeps. And if you've doubted that, you need to check out this video of her boldly debuting a song she just co-wrote, "Same Day, Different Bottle," at a private music industry party in Nashville on Monday. The American Idol alumnus turns 19 on Friday but seemed soulful well beyond her years as she delivered a bold, freshly minted ballad about her father's struggle with alcoholism.
Alaina performed the song for about a hundred guests at a CMT Next Women of Country brunch. Although the tune really wasn't intended for public consumption yet — she hasn't even started recording her second album yet — we caught her performance on shaky-cam video, and Alaina graciously allowed us to share it with you, as a glimpse into the pain she's experienced personally and the great strides she's making professionally.
We caught up again with Alaina in Nashville Tuesday night to ask her about the true-life story behind "Same Day, Different Bottle."
George Strait Talks 'Bittersweet' Exit and Gets a Garth Tribute
Chris Willman at Our Country29 days agoGeorge Strait was asked Monday night how he'd be spending his free time after his "Cowboy Rides Away" farewell tour wraps up in 2014. And, in his typical laconic fashion, he didn't sound like he'd given it an undue amount of thought.
"I'm still gonna do a few things. Maybe five or six things, I'm thinking, in the next few years—see what happens," he said, seemingly referring to possible live one-off events. "But I don't there'll be a 'Cowboy Rides Back In' tour or anything," he added, chuckling at the thought of a bait-and-switch comeback.
The notoriously press-shy Strait was having a very rare chat with the media backstage at the ASCAP Country Music Awards in Nashville, where he was being honored with the publishing rights organization's highest honor, the Founders Award. The invite-only event was capped by a tribute to Strait that featured Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Lee Ann Womack singing a handful of his 60 No. 1 hits.
Lou Reed: The Most Cited Influence in Rock 'n' Roll?
Chris Willman at Stop The Presses!1 mth ago"Every song we've ever written was a rip-off of a Lou Reed song," Bono once announced from the stage, while bringing Reed up to sing on a duet of "Satellite of Love," a staple during U2's Zoo TV tour. What Bono said reconfirmed what many fans think about Reed, who died Sunday: He was a giant among rock stars, and a good deal of the punk and indie bands that followed in his wake were happy to be orbiting objects.
The most famous quote having to do with Reed's music may be apocryphal. "The first Velvet Underground record sold 30,000 copies in the first five years. I think everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band," Brian Eno is alleged to have said. We say alleged because Eno's biographer couldn't find any trace of the original aphorism (and anyway, that album, 1967's The Velvet Underground & Nico , actually sold more than 58,000 copies in its first two years of release). But: Point taken! It's hard to find even a 2010s rock band that doesn't have the Velvets as an influence, or that wouldn't at least lie and say they were, if asked.
How U2 Almost Went Shark-Jumping With 'Rattle and Hum' 25 Years Ago
Chris Willman at Stop The Presses!1 mth agoThis month marks the 25th anniversary of U2 jumping the shark. If that doesn't ring a bell, maybe it's because the band is one of the few superstar acts ever to brave that kind of overexposure and ridicule and... jump back.
The theatrical film Rattle and Hum and its companion two-record set represented, to some, U2's coronation as the world's biggest and best rock band and, to others, their biggest boondoggle. Director Phil Joanou's earnest rockumentary was released by a major studio (Paramount) and got an unheard-of wide release (in over 1,000 theaters). Giant one-sheets were printed up depicting each of the band members in close-up. If you were waiting for a bus in November of 1988, chances were good that Larry Mullen Jr. had your back.

A lot of Americans were very happy to say good -- the 112 congress and one of the most unpopular and unproductive in modern history.
So will the 113 congress be any different.
There's some new -- 84 freshman -- sworn in last week but they -- toxic bipartisanship.
And some very tough battles ahead one of those freshman is congressman Ron.
Republican from the newly re re drawn.
Sixth district before that and he joins us now tuchman thanks very much and congratulations on your victory in your soon to be appearance in Washington.
You looking forward to it.
Yeah wolf thank you thank you for having me.
You know it's interesting when I ran congress was and -- very popular.
And then once I got elected it seems like congress has only gotten less popular.
So you're going into a very unpopular institution I guess the silver lining for me is we have a very low bar to clear to start doing some good things.
Well some of those statistics about congress being so -- -- I think are are are not entirely accurate in the sense that.
People are elected based upon their individual district obviously they are obviously well like this just the -- -- sum total of the body together is not well admired but unfortunately it's not.
The entire nation that -- each and every one of you so let's let's talk about what your priorities are.
Well you know I ran really wanting to.
I advocated reform conservatism.
-- during the campaign President Obama obviously focused on the wealthy and he thought.
That they weren't paying their fair share obviously governor Romney got hit with a 47%.
And I just was uncomfortable at the debate does it seem like.
We were just assuming that we have a fix class society where there wasn't going to be a dynamic economy where people could really do.
Great things and that's not.
The America I believe and I believe and I having the right to rise that you're not consigned.
To middling circumstances that you can do big things.
But I think in order for that to happen.
We got to get our fiscal house in order I think we need to reform things like the tax code and our bureaucracies that are inhibiting economic growth and opportunity.
The next big issue that congress is looking at is that raising the debt ceiling.
The president says he does not want a fight over that but we've heard of Mitch McConnell on the very first day of the 113 congress say.
The president needs to show up for this and that spending is our priority at this point so it looks.
Like the division continues.
While it does I mean I think the fiscal cliff below we saw.
President Obama always says he wanted to balanced approach to me it was way weighted in favor of tax increases.
Very little in terms of real spending cuts.
-- -- so -- he's going to be true to his word about wanting a balanced approach I think the debt ceiling is a perfect example to start getting some spending restraint on this table and -- interest in spending cuts.
Just in the aggregate but I also think we just need to reform the spending process whether that's through a balanced budget amendment or some other mechanism so we're not having these perpetual crises well that the senate has not passed a budget and in three years how are you -- convey that message to majority leader Harry Reid.
Well it's tough that convey messages to him from what I've seen -- and during the campaign I embrace reforms such as no budget no pay.
Which says if congress doesn't pass a budget -- they shouldn't get paid until they do and that actually has bipartisan support.
Comments I think if we can put pressure on congress to do its job.
Let the chips fall where they may I mean I did everything I want you may not get everything you want.
But that's not a reason to just be -- electing your responsibilities.
-- we need to get back to normal order we need to get back to normal budgeting.
A congressman sent us thank you very much for your time we'll see you back up here in Washington next week congratulations again on election.
Thank you for having me.
Well there's been no.

How hard would it have been to have at least ONE person who had any horse knowledge commenting on the biggest HORSE parade in the world? Come on, White Percheron Quarterhorses??? Gypsy Vanners with "FLUFFY FEET"? How disappointing from such a great channel. | |||
Worst coverage in all the yeas I have watched. It is about the floats. I am hitting mute so I can miss the inane chat and laughing at their own ridiculous unfunny humor. | ||||
I totally agree!! I watch HGTV because I hate all of the commercial breaks on the other channels. I know how hard these band members work and fundraise to get to be in the parade. Then all we get to heard is inane banter. LET THEM PLAY!!! | ||||

The Monuments That Were Never Built
In a new exhibit at the National Building Museum, imagine Washington D.C. as it could have been
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, November 23, 2011
(Courtesy of the Maryland Historical Society, 1976.88.51)
George Washington's city planner Pierre Charles L'Enfant was initially charged with designing the Capitol. But he was canned when he refused to produce official drawings for the concept "in his head." In 1792, a design competition was launched. "The competition was fascinating because it shows the status of architecture in America at the time," says Moeller. "That is to say, there wasn't one." Most of the entrants were amateurs, even Thomas Jefferson submitted designs.
Eighteen drawings by 10 draftsmen survive, including one by James Diamond, a builder most likely from Maryland. "This is the one that we all adore, in a funny way," says Moeller. The design shows a basic understanding of composition on Diamond's part. And yet, says Moeller, "It is hard to get past what we call the 'screaming chicken.'" The weathercock on the building's dome is clearly out of proportion.

When it resumed after the Civil War, the pantheon was scrapped, the obelisk's dimensions height was lowered to 555 feet and its point was sharpened....." ....and instead, my ancestor, Joseph Christmas Ives is credited as the Architect & Engineer on the completed Washington Monument.

How about a monument to all the foreign victims of America's wars? Probably not, for reasons of space if nothing else, as look at what size the Vietnam Veterans memorial is and it only holds the names of ~58,000 dead Americans while ~2 MILLION Vietnamese died in the war, many of them civilians killed in American carpet bombing of the North. The memorial would have to stretch all the way around the city and then some if it was to have their names on it, if it was even possible to find out the victims' names.
Or maybe one for the quarter of a million dead Filipinos from the brutal suppression of the Philippine Insurrection in the early 1900s. Or the who-knows-how-many dead from the illegal war in Iraq which involved the U.S. Air Force dropping four joint direct attack munitions on downtown Baghdad and wiping out several residential city blocks in an instant (and their inhabitants of course) in an unsuccessful assassination attempt against Saddam Hussein, based on false information given to the C.I.A. by an Iraqi janitor? Remember that? Probably not, even though it was all over the news for about a day right after it happened before being buried by other news.
But at least Germany has had the decency to erect a holocaust memorial in Berlin dedicated to its victims. But then again, even Nazi Germany never stooped so low as to name its sports teams after victims of its genocide like America has (Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins etc.) so I doubt any of this will come to pass. The U.S. just isn't that kind of grown-up, mature, introspective and compassionate country. Never has been.

The Mothers Monument looks like something Stalin and his people would have come up with.

Every time I look at the "Main elevation of Capitol competition entry by James Diamond, 1792" I laugh. The bird on top seems really out of proportion and it reminds me of a chicken.
I enjoyed looking at all the selections of monuments that were never built. Some very interesting ideas were proposed.
Posted by Kathy on January 11,2012 | 01:11 PM
The proposed Lincoln and and Motherhood were like ancient monuments: meant to make the viewer feel small. A very un-American attitude!
Strange: I always felt the Washington Monument was somehow stark, almost barren. In light of the original concept, it is.

Franklin Webster Smith's 'National Galleries of History and Art' was the precursor of EPCOT and the World Showcase. I wonder if Walt Disney was ever exposed to Smith's ideas?
Posted by Shir-El on January 7,2012 | 09:18 AM
The Mothers' Monument looks eerily like the Voortrekker Monument in South Africa (built 1938-56). That one is also in a certain way dedicated to "moederheid" and "gesin" (motherhood and family) of the nation, for very similar reasons.

I would have liked to see some of these buildings with there grand designs built. We do have some fancy buildings in Washington,such as the orignal Smithsonian buildings and some of the are galleries and the Archives building. Not that I am all that unhappy with what we have.

I am Glad that the monument was built like it is because I feel like it has an important role in my life the way it is. (I like driving past it everyday because it gives me a since of patriotism.) Also I agree what Haden Sever (my favorite Sever) said about the precipitation thing. ( Like my use of Vocab??)

I think the unbuilt kennedy center should have been built.I like the way it looks and where it is.
Posted by Olivia Ceccato on December 14,2011 | 06:01 PM
im glad the lincoln memorial was not built like that because the way it is now resembles him more. it shows more power and his personality.
Posted by Olivia Ceccato on December 14,2011 | 05:58 PM
I am happy because it was not built because it does not need to be built there. It looks like a church from here. And besides it would have taken a lot of Washington DC's space.
Posted by Abdullah on December 12,2011 | 06:31 PM
i am glad that it was not built because then if it was finished,it would take up a lot of Washington D.C.everyone would be unhappy in a way because if there trying to see fire works on the forth of July, then they wont be able to see anything.
Posted by jonathon moreno on December 8,2011 | 03:02 PM
I am glad the Lincoln monument was not built like that. I feel this way because if it rained, snowed, hailed or anything like that happened there is no place to stay dry unlike the actual memorial which has a huge place to stay dry.
Posted by Haden Sever on December 7,2011 | 08:49 PM
While many of these ideas are ill-advised at best, the original design of the Kennedy Center is beautiful. What a shame it wasn't built this way, instead of the current one, which I nominate as one of the ugliest modern buildings in the United States, especially one that ever had money invested in it. It is bragged that the existing building was made of entirely donated materials. They don't need to tell anyone, because it shows!

A "round domed rotunda". That seems ro-tundant..oops, please excuse me. Redundant, actually, as anything I have ever seen that was called rotund or a rotunda was always round.

Even Barney Fife (and, presumably, Congress) knows that you don't "nix" something in the bud-- you "nip" it!
Posted by VJ McDonald on December 2,2011 | 01:44 PM
It would be interesting today to see the city as was envisioned so many years ago. Seems to be a very worth while exhibit.
Posted by William Howard on December 2,2011 | 09:25 AM
If Smithsonian ever republished the book the GPO did of Smith's National Galleries of History and Art, *I* would certainly buy a copy. I love the idea of walking through life-size replicas of ancient homes and temples from different cultures!! The small 'replica' rooms at the Smithsonian were my favourites as a child.

It strikes me that however impractical some of these designs may have been, they were all so very stately, refined, and beautiful. There is something magnificent about them, recalling times of greater confidence and manners.

Although I don't agree in every case with the details of these ideas, I do believe that the idea that Washington should be a showcase city. It saddens me that the nation's capital has so much seedy commercial stuff.

I was there on day one and felt I had to keep eating ice-cream all through winter to make sure they stayed open. Almost a year on and i'm still eating the stuff I can't eat any other ice-cream it's just not the same. Oh and the waffles are great!

Only 3 stars time out?! Did you actually try the ice cream?! Amazing traditional gelato style ice cream. Very reasonable prices. Maybe not the place for sitting in but perfect for take away and an amble. Would highly recommend!

When we act and how may determine how quickly the species disappears. Current projections don't look good. Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey have estimated that two-thirds of polar bears will be gone by 2050. For the Arctic ice melt to make sense, all you have to do is watch this YouTube video, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which shows the puny extent of sea ice in 2012 compared with the historical average.
With all that as the backdrop, feeding polar bears doesn't sound so crazy, however sad and potentially irreversible it may be. And such programs do exist for other species, Derocher said, including California condors, black bears in Washington state and brown bears in Eastern Europe.
"We're at the point where we're going to be implementing some of these scenarios in some parts of the Arctic," he said, "without doubt.
"Bears just aren't as fat as they used to be," he said, which makes them less able to live through low-sea-ice years. "It's very clear when you look at the data and when you just look at the animals. A lot of them just don't have that much gas left in their tank."
I asked Derocher what drives him. He said he's not a sentimental person -- he doesn't get attached to an individual polar bear the way he does to his golden retriever. But when you're in the Arctic and you see how much the bears are struggling, it's hard not to care about them as a group -- to want to do something to preserve their wild power.
"I'm still optimistic that humans will decide to deal with greenhouse gases in a realistic fashion," he said.
To illustrate why that's important, he pointed me to an online video that shows the death of a young polar bear cub. It's linked here but, as a Mother Jones writer put it, "Be forewarned: this is graphic and ghastly." I wouldn't watch it unless you absolutely feel the need to do so. What's more important is Derocher's reaction. For him, the video echoed his experiences in the Arctic, surveying bears that are struggling because of sea ice melt.
"When you watch that," he said, "you have to, I think, be pretty hardhearted to think that maybe humans aren't treading a little too heavily on this planet."

Reviewed by 56 customers Sort by Displaying reviews 1-10 Previous | Next » Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: Very poor reception of signals. Many times will show carrier on screen for several minutes but have no audio. Will have no city transmissions for as long as 6 hours at a time. We all wish our community was that safe! Took it on patrol with me and it missed numerous calls that came over city radio. Sound is very poor quality, hard to understand many times. Had it back to R.S. several times and also back to Texas with no improvement. Right now to me it is a piece of junk. Will never purchase Uniden products again. Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: My region is beginning the "digital age", they will be converting over very soon, hence the purchase of the Home Patrol. I have had mine now for 4 days. A few minor gripes, to what otherwise is an excellent product: 1. Would be nice to allow direct entry programming of frequencies into the unit in a favorites category. 2. Priority capabilities would be nice as well. 3. I am in Virginia, Eastern Time Zone, the unit when set to this will not let me pick up my local frequencies. Reset it to the default Central Time Zone works w/o problems. 4. When I entered my zip code, and also entered the city that I live in, all of the surrounding agencies were readily available and working but not the city I live in, I had to set up a favorite list to pick up the city frequencies. Other than those minor problems, I think Uniden has really come out with a superb product. I have and will recommend HomePatrol-1. Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: Ok, I have had a scanner on me or in my vehicle since 2007, this scanner solves most if not all of my problems that I would have with a conventional type scanner. The ease of use with the touchscreen is worth it, even if you do not like touchscreens, out of the box it will give you the tactile touch of a button when you press on the screen. I love my radioshack scanners for the fact that they mount into jotto desk/troy/havis consoles but this scanner is worth not having that feature. In the past, If I wanted to do a cross country trip and listen to the police/fire/ems I would have to program my scanner everytime I move 100 miles. With the massive database that it contains, you know exactly who is talking, in what state, city, county, and frequency system. With a gps unit attached, the database will adjust to where you are and provide the appropriate radio traffic for your area. This alone is worth paying the money for this scanner. However the GPS attachment port would be much better if it had a screw attachment to hold the gps cable in place (think like what panasonic toughbooks use to hold their cables in place). Lastly, I recommend using a RAM mount to mount your scanner anywhere in your vehicle. I have not seen any other manufacturer that makes mounts for them. Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: Okay, I'll be the first to admit it.... I was new to Scanners when I purchased this one. I bought it after several frustrating experiences with my Dads "Old School" manual modle I inherited. The Home Patrol Radio was made for me. It does more and easier than I even hoped for. I've been using it for over a year now, and while checking out the Uniden Home page, thought I'd write and tell ya how awesome it's been to hear and understand several BIG events before they are even on the NEWS! Plus listening to our local Law Enforcement and Gov. Agencies as events unfold. All without a hassle, because of the superior Engineering of this great product. Thank You Uniden and Good Scanning to you all. Best Regards. Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: Very useful.................... Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: It required 4 attempts to install HomeSentinel. Both Quick Guide and Owner's Manual frequently confuse subjects and objects within a sentence. This makes unclear what is trying to be said. The thought that shorter is better and the less emphasis on creating a cogent, grammatically complete thought seems to be the fad within manual writing. Each time the scanner is turned on the "SD Card Error" is displayed. I have been unable to resolve this issue. Next, even with 20/20 vision the "lock/unlocked" battery compartment symbol is difficult to discern. The size of the symbol is too small, the symbols do not have any relief to aid by using touch and finally there is no contrast to distinguish the symbols from the back of the unit. The unit when it works does work as advertised. There could be many refinements. Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: The Home Patrol-1 is a very innovative scanner using a color touch screen that responds very well! The stock antenna isn't worth very much - and that should be your first upgrade! Once you upgrade the antenna, it receives very well and shows an abundance of information on the display in an easy-to-read format! Hooking up a GPS to the unit further increases its "coolness" factor as it adds and deletes frequencies according to your exact location!! This scanner is a WINNER!!
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: I bought the Home Patrol a week ago and love it. One of the easiest scanners to use. Took all of 10 minutes to set up and well worth the wait. Best money I have ever spent.
Comments about Uniden® Uniden® HomePatrol-1 Scanner: this is a excellent unit,but it should retain your current settings after you shut it off and turn it on later.it does not do this.you have to set it up again.a regular scanner goes right to work when you turn it on.it has a high battery drain even when it is off.it did help me find the new trunking frequencies for new london,ct.i was then able to set up my other scanners.scancat was not able to do this.i did not receive any batteries with the unit.if uniden would just send me their address where to mail the invoice,i would gladly do it.i bought the correct batteries for it at the navy subase as i am a retired veteran.frequencies can be accessed using the included software.it would have been nice if the scanner had a frequency readout.would have saved me a lot of trouble.it is now set up and running fine.it is just not to sensitive.i have a programmed gre600 sitting just five feet from it and it picks up much better.i put a much better antenna on the homepatrol 1 and the gre600 still does better.but it is nice and loud and portable.i would have bought another one except for the fact that if shut off and then turned on,you have to set it up again.that part is for the birds.i have another uniden scanner 996t mounted in the rear firewall which i control from the dash in the front.when i turn it on,it goes right to work.now that i have the new trunking frequencies in it,i am all set for now.i do not need another home patrol since it does not do the same.this one will come in very handy.i hope that they do improve the firmware.make it more sensitive.

Planning Your Trip
Have an idea of sites you want to visit and things you want to do during your trip. Do some research on travel blogs and communities. You should ask friends and family who have traveled before about places they enjoyed the most. Read through site-specific guide books like Lonely Planet, Let's Go, Rough Guide, Rick Steves, or Frommers.
Book all travel far in advance. However, do not book anything until after the first week of classes. You may find there are NYU-sponsored trips already in place.
Some helpful sites:
- Kayak - This is a great site that compares all the current deals in the market.
- Sky Scanner - A flight amalgam offering information for various location.
- Air Gorilla - A flight amalgam, similar to Kayak.
- Euro Flight Pass - This discount flight pass allows you to fly from city to city within Europe for $100 each way. For odd cities, this is a great price and probably the cheapest you will find.
- Rumbo - Spanish-version of Kayak
- Student Universe - Student fares for flights, hotels, etc.
- Sky Europe - This site has a sale sometimes for free flights and all you pay is taxes. Keep an eye out for those.

Well then, it now appears you need my help:
Go to, then; you come to me, and you say
'Shylock, we would have moneys:' you say so;
You, that did void your rheum upon my beard
And foot me as you spurn a stranger cur
Over your threshold: moneys is your suit
What should I say to you? Should I not say
'Hath a dog money? is it possible
A cur can lend three thousand ducats?' Or
Shall I bend low and in a bondman's key,
With bated breath and whispering humbleness, Say this;
'Fair sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last;
You spurn'd me such a day; another time
You call'd me dog; and for these courtesies
I'll lend you thus much moneys'?
"Signior Antonio, Many A Time And Oft" Soliloquy Translation:
Signior Antonio. So manytimes on the Rialto, you have berated me about money and my money-lending. I've always responded with a patient shrug because enduring such things is the badge of all our race. You call me an unbeliever, a cut-throat dog, and spit on my Jewish gabardine. And all for using what belongs to me. Well then, it now seems that you need my help. Alright then: you come to me and you say, "Shylock, we want some money."
That's what you say. You, who spat on my beard and kicked me as you would kick a stray dog from your house. Now you want money. What am I supposed to say to you? Shouldn't I say, "Has a dog got money? Could a mongrel possibly lend three thousand ducats?" Or shall I bend low and in the fawning tone of a servant, softly, in a small humble voice, say this: 'Good sir, you spat on me last Wednesday; you kicked me on such and such a day: another time you called me 'dog'. And for these courtesies I'll lend you so much money?

This is an excellent example of Flash running on multiple screens, including of course the iOS.
This is an excellent example of Flash running on multiple screens, including of course the iOS.
I came in this morning and realized that the feature I had been working on for several months and had shipped in the previous release (Flash Player 10.2) finally saw the light of day. Now that Flash Player 10.3 was just released, Mac users that had 10.2 installed saw an update dialog. That was me, on like 80 million Macs in the world **teary eyed**
It's so great working at Adobe! It's very humbling to think that my team and I write code that executes on over a Billion computers world-wide.
People are tweeting about it: http://twitter.com/#!/search/flash%20update%20ma
We're hiring by the way! http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/careeropp/
If you google "FLV Player" you get several different FLV players that the community has made. A friend of mine recently asked me if there are any that I have had a good experience with, and I was surprised that he was even asking me this given that there is the Adobe Media Player (AMP).
But yeah, I just wanted to point out to people out there that AMP (Adobe Media Player) can play FLVs!!!
I've tried it on only Windows so far, but I'd think it can play FLVs on all three major platforms (win/mac/lnx) since there is an AMP available on each.
1. Install Adobe Media Player from here: http://get.adobe.com/amp/ (click at the bottom of that flash box)
2. On Windows, right-click an FLV file, hover over "Open With.." then select Adobe Media Player.
3. And bada bing, you've got your FLV playing.
I can't remember, but there was a specific reason (having to do with CS4 compatibility or something) that they didn't register .FLV's default player to be AMP, but I'd imagine you can do that manually if you don't want to do the right-click->open with… thing.
Developers: If you don't like the idea that you have to install AMP (which serves many purposes other than just playing FLVs), you can probably make your own lean FLV player using AIR. If you do, it'd be super cool if you open sourced it, and shared bins. Just a thought.
I've been wanting this feature in for the longest time… and now it's in the flash player (currently in beta).
Basically now you can create Flash games that go in full screen mode and be able to use certain keys that are often used by games. We had initially prevented keyboard access altogether for security reasons… like phishing… but i guess you can't really phish too much out of arrow keys, space bar, enter, etc…. but you can make some great games this way.
Hope you guys like this new feature
Interesting list. Ipod imitators, vista, 64-bit PCs, Netscape 6, and DRM are all on there.
I don't agree with all of it though, for example, the concept of a paperless environment. At Adobe (and at old school macromedia for that matter), we REALLY do have a paperless environment. I mean of course we have a standard laser printer / fax machine like any other office environ, but the vast majority of our communication is paperless. We use wikis heavily and (of course) pdfs. In college i remember reading about "The Paper Paradox" which basically said that computers and networking are supposed to reduce paper, but because of the ease of printing, paper consumption has actually increased. To that I say that it takes not just the technology needed to go paperless, but also a generation that grew up paperlessly. If students were to turn in their essays via PDF and/or Word docs, they'll grow up doing the same. And besides, look at what craigslist has done to the newspaper industry. But yeah, it's still debatable.
Also, I use vista at work, and it works fairly well if you disable UAC. My computer is freakin' fast though (at the time of this writing). Vista does make HW installation smoother (even though the article says the opposite), and trouble shooting works pretty well too. I used to use google desktop, now i use vista's native searching, which i like a little better since its native. The task bar is a little less buggy. I don't like the new start menu (even though a good friend of mine worked on the usability research for it)… too much clicking. But yeah, i could have lived with XP. I can't wait until like Ubuntu or some other Linux becomes a lot more user friendly (and Adobe AIR could be the answer to this when we release a Linux version by the way).
This is some crazy awesome stuff, it's a Google Street View on steroids. They turn the world into a virtual reality 3D game, and make it possible to collect all kinds of data in the map… this is truely next-gen stuff. And guess what, it's made in flash and Papervision 3D. Papervision 3D is a set of 3D libraries for flash written in AS3.
Check out the video:
Ever make a really awesome Line Rider track, and wanted to share it with your friend so that they could not only view it, but can also work on it themselves?
well you can, it's really easy, and here's how…
that's some crazy stuff. And we hired one of the researchers, Shai Avidan, to be part of our special research group:
And I guess somebody implemented the algorithm in flash as well:
good stuff.
Ever try adding an Intermediate CA Cert to FMS ( Flash Media Server )?
well i did, and it was a real pain to figure this out, but in reality is pretty easy. Here's how (starting from the beginning):
1. you generate a private key, lets call it privkey.pem … you'll probably do this with OpenSSL like i did
2. from that with OpenSSL you generate a request, CSR or whatever
3. submit that to "the authorities" whoever that may be in your case, if intranet, maybe your "IS" or "IT" dept… if public, then maybe somebody like godaddy.com
4. they give you "the cert"
5. now you're like, "yipeee!!! i got a cert, but what do i do with it? how do i install it?"
6. go here: (your FMS installation directory)\conf\_defaultRoot_\Adaptor.xml
7. Scroll down or Ctrl+F "SSL" and you should see a SSLCertificateFile tag, this is where you specify the full path of the cert file like this:
8. You also need to point to the .pem file, for that, specify the SSLCertificateKeyFile like this:
Simple as that, now restart FMS and you should be set.
BUT WAIT!! what about the intermediate cert… all you do is open up your .cer file in a text editor, and paste the intermediate cert below the actual cert. If u dont know where to get the intermediate cert, ask the admins that issued you the cert in the first place.
hope that helps.
remember flashvars from AS2? its still there in AS3 but you access it differently.
in the HTML ActiveContent Javascript code add the flashvars parameter:
'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0',
'width', '490',
'height', '490',
'src', 'ColorGen',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'window',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'ColorGen',
'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
'name', 'ColorGen',
'menu', 'true',
'allowFullScreen', 'false',
'movie', 'ColorGen',
'salign', '',
'flashvars', 'boxColor=0x0000FF'
); //end AC code
(see the second last line)
And you should throw the same flashvars parameter in the object tag in the noscript for those who have JS disabled like this:
… now when you want to access it, instead of doing a _level0.boxColor like in AS2, you simply do a:
and bada-bing.
And of course you could add more flashvars name-value pairs separated by &'s… kinda like URL parameters
why a whole blog post on this? cuz i didn't see it in AS3 LR on livedocs, and i could imagine wasting a lot of time on this if i didn't work at adobe and didn't have access to our massive testing library.
thought i'd share.
And by the way, here's some more information from livedocs:
And here's an URL if you want to use flashvars with Flex:

Already FailingPros: Sleek Design Cons: Already failed about a month into ownership. Shuts my laptop down when I plug it in and then does not work when comp reboots. Randomly opens the calculator and "My Computer." There were no problems when I plugged my girfriend's mouse in. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great for traveling.Pros: This has been a very reliable mouse for work and travel. Helps me get technical work done on my netbook with ease. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
DecentPros: Sleek look, pretty responsive, not too loud. Cons: Sometimes, it decides just not to work. The fix for it is to take out the battery's and just put them back in. It may take a couple tries, but you get what you pay for. I have also had a bit of EMI (speakers) issues with this mouse, and only this mouse. Not too bad though. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Little MousePros: Long range and great battery life. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |

you get what you pay forPros: it work while it works! Cons: i bought five of these for friends and my 3 comps, one remains. if you drop one of these its game over. 4/5 have died from being dropped and hitting the floor, when there is no wire to catch your mouse, an accidental bump can send this thing flying off the desk, then lights out everytime Other Thoughts: if your not a cheapo like me, just buy a logitech mouse. i have a logitech that i got like 8 years ago and its still a champion 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DisappointedPros: When this mouse was working I really loved it. It is smaller but fits my hands well for being a smaller mouse. Cons: It just randomly died on me 2 weeks after owning it. The light still comes on the bottom but does seem to connect and then shuts off. Other Thoughts: I've tried 3 different sets of batteries and 2 computers this mouse is just broken. It's a shame that newegg won't warranty it. And I don't feel going through the trouble of contacting the company directly for a mouse under 20. I wanted to give this mouse 5 stars. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

While Zoosk might have queried our Zooskers for their favorite art house films of 2010 or on whether they felt Jonathan Franzen's Freedom should have won the National Book Award this year, we chose instead to bring up the questions that actually matter, like: "Of these celebrity couples that are still together, who make the oddest odd-couple?". Why? Because having the freedom to fully indulge in trashy celebrity gossip magazines without shame, not needing to explain oneself for the embarrassing habit one has of following in microscopic detail the lives of B-list reality television 'stars' – these are the rights of every single individual!
In honor of those rights, Zoosk surveyed 1,500 singles on a range of questions – e.g. "Of these female celebrities who've had run-ins with the law this year, who's the hottest?" – and, without further ado, we present the following conclusions. Continue reading

Michigan House moves to ban synthetic marijuana
Michigan House OKs measure to identify, eliminate synthetic marijuana products from stores
The Michigan House has approved legislation that allows law enforcement and health officials to ban synthetic marijuana and other drugs from stores as actions rise against products linked to health problems and violent behavior.
The House measure passed unanimously Wednesday and would allow the state to identify and eliminate illegal, mind-altering drugs regardless of the name or form they take. The products would be temporarily categorized as a controlled substance.
The legislation moves on to the Senate.
The bill package lists chemical classifications that are prohibited and grants Michigan State Police authority to remove those drugs from stores by July 1 if businesses haven't done so.
At least 40 states have banned synthetic cannabinoids, as synthetic marijuana is formally known, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
