If you've heard the rumors that Disney and former Spider-Man movie director Sam Raimi are making a "prequel" to The Wizard of Oz, you heard right.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, I've not been completely familiar with the hateful motives of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, Kansas; perhaps I've chosen to ignore the disturbing; I'm not exactly sure -- until now -- when last week I received an email from a member of my boys' soccer club in Lexington. It was this communication that brought the odium-filled beliefs of the Westboro Church in to my view. My findings were so unsettling; it was inevitable that I impart them to others. In the email, those who could were asked, "if your conscience guides you ...

Late this past spring I ventured into uncharted territory: I planted a garden. I didn't do any research about how to take care of plants, the proper setting for individual plants or how long they would take to grow, I just picked up a few babies from the Kershaw County Farmer's Market and let them do what they do. The only thing I've watched grow from seed to herb is parsley, and it's just now getting to the point where it looks edible. Still, I am proud of my little venture into creating a garden. It ...

Tokens were small cardboard, brass, copper or aluminum items, usually in the shape of coins, which were issued by private enterprise ventures such as textile mills, merchants, etc. These items took the place of coins and were redeemable at the issuing entity.

As Independence Day approaches, I'm disheartened by two recent Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decisions. Both were split decisions on how certain laws will be applied. (I'll save Thursday's healthcare decision another time.)
Dear Mitt Romney: I was pleased to hear that you have accepted an invitation to speak in July before the 103rd convention of the NAACP in Houston. In anticipation of that event, I have taken the liberty of writing a speech for you. It's only a beginning, space limitations being what they are, but it should get you off to a solid start and you can take it from there. So, here it is:
Illegal immigration is a tricky topic. The Supreme Court ruled three of four parts of Arizona's controversial immigration law unconstitutional Monday.

In 2008, a group of graduate students from the University of South Carolina's Public History Program produced a study entitled, "The Camden African-American Heritage Project." It was the product of a student group assignment conducted in 2005-06. The students were assisted by many Camden residents in their search for the history of African-Americans in Camden from the Colonial period through the era of civil rights. Though able to spend only one semester researching and writing, the students pulled together an admirable overview of the lives of African-Americans here. In their final recommendations they suggested, among other things, that an ...

Petrified Forest National Park is Still Being Stolen One Piece at a Time
Isn't there a senator from Arizona with a park-friendly record, and a House member who chairs a parks subcommittee, who might be able to get some additional rangers on the ground for this park?
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
I'm newly aware of this situation, so I'm not familiar with the entire history of the site. But your first post in this comment string is educational in that regard. My own first post was a quick reaction to reading the article and commentary.
As for the 1993 CWSAC, I will have to familiarize myself with that document before answering those questions.
My gut reaction is, protect it if you can. If the attempt to chase away Walmart fails, hopefully the locally concerned will learn from the experience and get to work saving and protecting other parcels in the path of economic development before the threat becomes so immediate. Unfortunately we haven't learned this lesson yet, despite the gradual erasure of one historic site after another.
It's not impossible to chase the giant away, if the coalition is ready to take concerted, prolonged action.
If the Big Blue wins, maybe we'll see some impromptu live reenactment of battle with guns and ammo purchased at the Wilderness Walmart!
National retailers participating in land use/management decisions that might effect their own bottom line?? Not likely to benefit the preservation efforts in any serious way. (Again, I'm unfamiliar with any such efforts that could be seen as successful.) Especially unlikely for Walmart, which is one of the only national businesses, retail or otherwise, that is still making profit during our current recession. What's in it for them? They're winning the game, so why do they need to generate warm fuzzy publicity amongst the preservation set? But why not give it a try? It couldn't hurt.
(But I'm cynical in that regard. And personally worried that such an agreement would morph into national sponsorships dictating NPS names and decisions: The Fredericksburg and Spotsylvanis National Military Park sponsored by WALMART, filled with Kodak picture spots, and video monitors running interpretive films starring Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie replacing live Park Ranger Interpreters... )
As you alluded to in your first post, I fear the only way to beat a money-making machine is to beat it at it's own game: buy the land out from under them. OR, as they did in Manassas, show Disney the door through a multi-year, well-funded, and well-publicized publicity action.
In no way did I intend to support the current bias in Civil War interpretation within the NPS. (On a visit to Antietam a few years ago, the Interpretive Ranger that delivered the orientation demonstrated heavy bias towards the Confederate Army, and when questioned became quite dismissive of the idea that slavery was a big part of the story. I was amazed that the NPS would allow such one-sided interpretation.) I'm with the non-government historians: to recognize the full meaning of a site, we need to tell all stories., hopefully without telling the visitors what they should feel.
Another book you might be interested in this regard: "Race and Reunion", by historian David Blight. The author examines how the story of slavery, and indeed all African-American connection to the story of the Gettysburg, was immediately ignored in the name of national healing.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Wal-mart needs to go somewhere else. On second thought, don't we have enough Wal-marts? Do we really need one more? I don't think so. They'll probably build this store, then build a bigger and better one a few years later, and this store will sit empty and broken down forever. Enough of corporate greed.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Dear Warren Z:
I am not clear from your post: are you saying that the Priority I, Class A site should, or should not be preserved (IE:preserved by either adding it to the park or some local equivalent protection)?
You say, park boundaries should stop somewhere. A truism, sure, but in this specific case the question is, should this parcel be protected? If not, are you also saying that the 1993 CWSAC report should NOT be considered the authority for protection, as it has been? There was a great series of exchanges and meetings among park superintendents in the later 1990's, resulting in what seemed to be a consensus that the report's recommendations ARE legitimate. These recommendations DO NOT suggest that all parcels have the same high priority for conservation.
On the other hand, if you agree the parcel is historically significant, and the 1993 Report remains the gold standard for evaluation, then what exactly are you recommending be done in this particular case? Certainly there are many other parcels in the region that Wal Mart could consider.
How 'bout if Wal Mart and other Big Boxes sponsor a nationwide land use planning initiative? It could recommend to local governments that they identify critical landscapes, and develop more creative wise use and smart use development/preservation tactics and strategies. Such regional land use strategies, pro both conservation and development, is happening now within some national heritage corridors. Why not here?
BTW, I agree with you about the pro-Southern interpretive bias in the NPS. Arguably, Fredericksburg-Spottsylvania was once, and still may be, a center of that school of history and interpretation. However, at the strong urging of many reputable non-government historians, there is a growing movement to recognize the Meaning, not just the tactics, of the Civil War and, central to that Meaning, is the role played by slavery.
Petrified Forest National Park is Still Being Stolen One Piece at a Time
Thank you for putting this message out there. The theft of resources from our parks is a serious problem. Hopefully NPT readers will spread the word!
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
There is an excellent book that chronicles a similar situation with another Civil War battlefield in Northern Virginia.
The Book is titled "Battling for Manassas", by historian Joan M. Zenzen. Interesting reading... I don't believe it's in print any longer, but try and get it from your library if you can, especially if you are a member of the coalition working against the Walmart development.
It could be a big-box retailer, or a strip mall of locally owned businesses, some crunchy-granola grocery store, or a national theme park chain...
Anyone who tries to develop land directly adjacent to a Civil War battlefield will most certainly meet with prolonged opposition.
Can we be realistic here? The NPS/historic site boundary has to stop somewhere. If friends of the battlefield in question are concerned about viewscapes, or being tainted by proximity to the commercial world, or that the land to be developed is historic but not protected by the NPS, then the local community and coalition of protectors has to get involved.
The coalition that came together last summer to draft a letter to Walmart CEO H. Lee Scott, Jr. is well intentioned for sure. But they have to do more than just draft a single letter. The effort to chase Disney out of Manassas was a multi-year process, and took the involvement of nationally recognized historians and celebrities (that happened to live in the area) to get involved and fund the effort. If the NPS (or any of the community partners in Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania) didn't have the foresight to acquire and protect the land in question then maybe it's just too darn bad. A shame to some, but the process has to end somewhere.
Let's please get away from the Walmart vs. Whole Foods tangent. These same broad strokes used to paint stereotypes were used in the comment string concerning loaded concealed firearms in the National Parks, and were just as ugly and ineffective in that debate.
I assure you that ANY corporation expressing interest in commercial development on historic land would meet with the same opposition. The Civil War preservation crowd is nothing if not tenacious, vocal, and consistent in it's vocal opposition to ANY commercial development on or near hallowed ground.
Interestingly enough, there is a noticeable Confederate bias in much of the Civil War interpretation that occurs on the battlefields managed by the NPS (a topic of discussion for another comment thread for sure), so I'm not so sure that your rebel yell in the neighboring Wilderness Super Center parking lot would be unwelcome by the Gray and Green working on the battlefield!
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
It sounds as if this parcel was going to be developed no matter what. This is just a thought. In other parts of the USA, WalMart has built attractive buildings as well placed landscaping around the parking lot and the road that it was facing. Recently we were in New Hampshire and saw a WalMart that, if it hadn't had the sign, I would never have thought it was one. When I was north of San Francisco some years ago, there was a WalMart that was attractive and I couldn't believe how attractive they had made the parking lot. If WalMart is going to build there, see if they will work with the locals concerning the outward appearance of the building as well as the landscaping of the property. It doen't have to be a big box on a bare piece of land. Believe it or not, it could be a good thing for tourists to have access to WalMart or Target, etc. Maybe you all have never forgotten anything or needed cold medicine, aspirin, lost your sunglasses, etc. on a trip, but it happens. This could be a good thing for everyone concerned if people are willing to look at it in a different way.
Interior Officials Want to Allow Concealed Carry in the National Parks
As a CCW holder, I completely agree with the right to carry anywhere and see no reason national parks should be exempt from the right to carry!
CCW holders have to pass background checks for both the state they have registered in, and the federal government. There's absolutely no reason they shouldn't be allowed to carry anywhere.
Why should I have to pull over, take my gun out, unload it, lock it and the bullets away, then continue just to go into or through a park? Just because I have it doesn't mean I'm going to shoot an animal with it. It's for protection, not for poaching!
The individuals to worry about are those who are carrying illegally! Those who do not get a CCW because they do not pass the requirements, due to having already been arrested for breaking the law or for unlawfully using a firearm in the past. They will be carrying in the national park regardless of whether this law exist or not! The only protection a person has at that point is his/her self or the national park service rangers who are few and far between.
National Park Service Draws Criticism for Winter-Use Plan for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks
I have been following this issue for some time now from a completely legal perspective. As Judge Sullivan's most recent opinion reads, he struck down the NPS' new permanent plan as being "arbitrary and capricious," which is a legal term of art which basically means there is no rational connection between the facts found and the choice made.
While the Organic Act creates two obligations for the NPS ("conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wild life and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations"), the history around the passing of the Act, the Amendments to the Act (in 1970 and 1978), the NPS Management Policies, and judicial interpretation (from cases not involving Judge Sullivan, Brimmer, nor the issue of snowmobiles in Yellowstone) all support a legal reading and interpretation of the Act that favors conservation over use and enjoyment when the two are in conflict. Notice that nowhere in the Organic Act, nor anywhere in other Acts that the NPS must follow (NEPA, EDA, etc.), nor in the NPS Management Policies, is there anything about the economic integrity of a surrounding community being protected over preserving the National Park.
Now, the Organic Act has been interpreted to allow for use and enjoyment that causes impairment - as long as that impairment is of great value and necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Park, and the impact is minimized to the greatest extent possible.
Snowmobiles may be a great way to see the Park, and it is fact the machines and guidelines in use now are incredibly cleaner and minimize impact more compared to practices and machines of the past. The fact remains that there is still some impact, according to NPS' own science. The fact that impact is better than it was before is great, but really of no importance; same with the fact the impact may be less than that caused in summer by motor homes and other motorized vehicles.
Judge Sullivan stated NPS gave insufficient reason for why the impacts are necessary to fulfill the purposes of the park, and as a result, use and enjoyment are elevated as a goal over conservation. Therefore, what his ruling says is that even 540 is too many in light of the explanation given for that number, and he required the NPS to try again. He gave no other guidelines as to what they should do going forward. Theoretically, the NPS could come back to Judge Sullivan with the same number, along with a better explanation for why that number works in connection with the minimal impact, and Judge Sullivan would then have to allow such a plan.
However after Sullivan's ruling, the NPS stated they would not have time to come up with a new temporary plan for this season as they continued to work on a new permanent plan for the future. Yet, in early November, I think on the 3rd, they came out with a new temporary plan (the 318 limit), and opened up the public comment period. Then, 4 days later, Judge Brimmer makes his ruling. His express words say he cannot and is not overstepping his bounds with respect to Judge Sullivan's ruling, but in effect he has done just that since Sullivan stated the 540 number coupled with NPS' explanation of coming to that number was "arbitrary and capricious".
If Brimmer had ruled before the NPS came up with their new temporary plan of 318, then the NPS' decision to follow Judge Brimmer's order as opposed to Sullivan would be more understandable. But by coming up with a new temporary plan, then getting the new order from Judge Brimmer, and subsequently trashing the new temporary plan shows the NPS' is in fact ignoring Sullivan.
So where does that leave us? If you follow the actual law of this issue, the GYC has the better LEGAL argument on their side, as no where in any Act pertaining to National Parks and specifically Yellowstone is there any mention of the interests of the local economy. Unfortunately for Brimmer, the local economy is the main influence on the rationale he has used in his rulings throughout this entire issue. It seems the GYC was content with the 318 plan, which shows they are not some radical environmentalist group since they were not calling for the complete phaseouts of the Clinton era. And Judge Sullivan seems to state he would allow a certain amount in the park as long as the NPS could adequately support why that amount is necessary and the impacts are lessened to best extent possible.
To answer a question of Sabattis from earlier, the reason the GYC timeline seems wrong is that Tuesday the 2004 temporary plan, minus the sunset provision which originally terminated the use of the plan at the end of 2007, was made into law by the Bush Administration. It is true that Brimmer's order was on Nov. 7, but the NPS decision to follow it was signed into law on Tuesday, and no matter when Brimmer ordered that, the timeline is stating that it simply was made law on Tuesday.
The GYC waited to file their petition in Sullivan's court until the published decision by the NPS to follow Brimmer was made into law. I am not really sure why they did this, as they could have gone back to Sullivan seemingly as soon as the NPS published their decision in November to go back to the 2004 temporary plan and follow Brimmer's order.
As for this winter, it seems as though the 2004 temporary use plan will be in effect, unless Sullivan does something about it in the next couple days. I guess technically, he could do something about it in the middle of the winter season, but that just seems ridiculous to me. My guess is the new administration will come up with a new permanent plan that allows some snowmobiles but puts more of an emphasis on snowcoaches. I don't see the complete phaseout happening, but that is just my opinion.
Strictly legally speaking, Sullivan has followed the law throughout this issue more faithfully than Brimmer. That doesn't mean the law couldn't change. If this issue continues, its possible it could get to the Supreme Court, and they could decide that economic issues do play a role in the interpretation of the Organic Act. That of course is simply pure conjecture.
Sorry for the length of this comment, but I felt this needed to be said.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Kurt, I find it interesting that you lament seeing the Golden Arches from the Olympic ski jump because nothing says crass corporatism to me louder than the Olympics. It is the very essence of commercial exploitation on steroids.
So if your view from this hallowed mountain spot is of the very symbol of mass commercialization maybe it was by design. There may have been a bidding war for the "official" Olympic viewshed, with the highest bidder being McDonald's instead of Starbucks.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Frank C., there have been multiple zoning discussions involving the Spotsylvania-Wilderness-Fredericksburg battlefields.
No one is sitting on their hands, except perhaps for the fact that the local government does not have one overall land protection and development strategy for all these areas.
It is an extremely high-development prone area (on a major exit of Route 95), and the tendency by local government is to work on land use preservation one parcel/crisis at a time. Almost like spot zoning. It would be better if a concensus plan could be developed identifying both appropriate development areas. At one point there was a county planner who wanted to work that way, but one or two of the local elected officials either lacked his sophistication, or philosophy of planning.
Many parcels of land have been purchased, too often at the last minute, in the heat of a "develop it or preserve it" conflict. Many of these conflicts have involved numerous local voices showing up at hearings to protest an insensitive development. Several have been resolved, some of them involving a compromise both by developers and preservationists.
Previous efforts in the area to negotiate with Wal Mart have shown Wal Mart to be less open to working something out in common good than other developers, in the opinion of local groups. On example: when Wal-Mart proposed to develop George Washington's "Ferry Farm" in Fredericksburg, an NHL because of archeological value, there was no middle ground toward a compromise. In the perception of the local preservation group in their communications to Congress on Ferry Farm, they said you either raised the money to buy the land out from under Wal Mart, or Wal Mart built whatever it wanted, in the way it wanted to.
Frank C., I don't rightly know if Superintendent Smith has been out in front of this one or not. He, personally, is an Interpreter by background, without a career of land use protection strategies behind him. However, the second-level staff are well known for their expertise and tenacity from multiple land use fights throughout the 'reigns' of the last 4 or maybe 5 superintendents. My guess is this park has been way out ahead of this issue for a long time. This group has received a lot of support from Senator John Warner (R-VA), who is retiring at the end of the month. Warner also had a brilliant staff. They knew how to wait until local political support gathered on behalf of the protection of a specific site.
So, if I were to guess, I would think Superintendent Smith would be smart enough to back up all his Alpha-staff, but I would worry about what will happen with Sen. John Warner and his great staff gone. I would guess leadership will have to fall back on the Civil War land trust groups.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
I also doubt people would so rabidly protest an REI or Whole Foods. It's so easy to blame Wal-Mart, but in their defense, as they have also said, the area was zoned for commercial development. It's also at the intersection of two State highways.
A fair amount of blame here rests with government for its zoning decisions and for building major highways on or near "sacred" land.
An umbrella group formed to fight the big-box store, the Wilderness Battlefield Coalition includes Friends of Wilderness Battlefield, the Civil War Preservation Trust, National Trust for Historic Preservation, National Parks Conservation Association, Piedmont Environmental Council and Friends of Fredericksburg Area Battlefields.
Certainly these groups could have raised enough cash to buy the 55 acre lot in question. Why have they been sitting on their laurels until now?
And where has Superintendent Smith been up to this point? He slams Wal-Mart: "Wal-Mart's answer seems to be: It's zoned commercial, so we have no responsibility." I don't believe that is Wal-Mart's answer, but I agree that they do not have a responsibility in the zoning of the land.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Kurt: I agree. So I guess I will be "Preaching to the Chior".
Basicaly, I have always believed that if you wish to control what occures on any piece of land, then you need to own that land. If you do not want to SEE what is done with somebody's land, then again, you need to own that land also.
We have enough land use and zoning laws. After you see what business has to go through so that they can open their doors for business, people would have more respect for the process.
I have as yet to ever see an occasion when Walmart, or any other business, go to the time and expence to open a business just so that they could "clutter up the landscape".
We recently had a Walmart store open up in our community. I view their store as just another option when I go shopping. They have never forced me to come into their store nor made me purchase any item. It is all free choice.
If you do not like a store, DO NOT SHOP THERE! I personaly do not shop at "Smoke Shops"or "Adult" stores, but I defend their right to exist within the same scope of laws that govern all "Growth".
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Beamis, as much as I'd like to hear your rebel yell...while Wal-Mart certainly is a favorite punching bag of many, I'd venture that folks would get similarly upset if Whole Foods or REI or Best Buy moved to develop this much acreage next to a park.
Heck, I was bummed when a nice open field on the outskirts of Park City was turned into a commercial development with two groceries, a hotel, timeshares, a bank, and more. Did you know you can see the Golden Arches from atop the Olympic ski jump?
As far as some "concerned group or individual" having moved to buy the land to preserve it, I'd hazard a guess that their pockets aren't quite as deep as Wal-Mart's.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Not too surprising, considering the "Yellow Tavern" battlefield just North of Richmond is the site of an expansive mall complex today. The site where JEB Stuart received his mortal wound can be found nearby, after a tedious search through suburbia, surrounded by homes.
To have more of these sites compromised would be a travesty. Let's hope the coalition of groups listed above can influence the final decision as to where to build yet another supercenter.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Would a Whole Foods or let's say an REI outlet cause as much ire from the NPT readership as a Wally World? If this parcel of land was so important to preserve you'd a thunk by now that some concerned group or individual would've purchased it. Am I right?
I'm sure the new store will sell a wide range of Civil War souvenirs and memorabilia, just like their Tuscaloosa, Alabama store which has a whole section devoted to the Crimson Tide or their Destin, Florida outlet that sells a wide range of seashells, sand dollars and conchs for way cheaper than the roadside rip-off shops strung along U.S. 98.
I can't wait to visit the new Wilderness Super Center when it opens for business. Think I'll buy me a Confederate infantry hat and give a great big rebel yell in the parking lot.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Frank and Anonymous, you both hit on a point that comes up time and again when there's talk of development beyond a park's borders, whether it's the case of the American Revolution Center near Valley Forge, this Wal-Mart proposal, or oil and gas drilling in Utah.
Does an amicable solution exist? Where do a park's borders end, its viewsheds? What's appropriate in those settings?
My concern is that as more and more growth and sprawl occur, many of these places are going to become isolated islands and slowly wither on the vine. But private property rights are private property rights. That's not a complaint; that's just the way it is.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Absolutely, Anonymous. If the land is outside the park and privately owned, the owner does have the right (at least under a free society) to develop the land. How long has this land been there, unused, sitting? How long has there been an opportunity for a conservation easement, for someone, like the Nature Conservancy or other concerned citizens, to buy the land and set it aside permanently?
But let the Wal-Mart bashing continue.
Let the looting continue.

I agree with the previous comment that this is not about Walmart. Would people be as concerned if it were a housing development? If the land is privately owned, does not the owner have the right to use the property as he/she pleases?
National Park Service Draws Criticism for Winter-Use Plan for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks
Following this, what I keep noticing is the somewhat more timid stance on the issue that GYC has taken. First, when it appeared after Sullivan's ruling that they could have stopped the entire winter season, they suggested that 280 or so snowmobiles would be appropriate as a daily limit for this season. Before that, NPS was suggesting there might not be a winter season. That's when they came up with 318.
Then, when Brimmer's ruling comes down and NPS decides to go with 720 as a temporary rule, GYC decides to go back to Brimmer's court and makes a point of saying that they aren't going to worry about this winter season. I'd be curious why these tactical choices have been made.
Is it simply to fight the characterization that GYC is somehow a radical environmental organization? (wish they were, but they're not). Or, is their pressure from within to make sure that there remains some snowmobiling in Yellowstone?
In any event, we're still smarting over the Royal Teton Ranch deal over buffalo -where GYC and other groups have raised money in support of a deal that spends a lot of money to the Church Universal and Triumphant for not much (perhaps less than not much) for bison. And, others on the wolf issue have noted that GYC has supported de-listing the wolf, one of their people even blasted the feds recently in a very conservative newspaper in Cody, Wyo.
So, what is the deal here?

World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument is Established by Presidential Proclamation
Why would President George W. Bush have used the word "Valor" to name this national monument?
Is "Valor" the best word to describe a national monument or national historical park, or the best description of this national monument? There is no "valor" or any comparable word, in the title of Valley Forge, or Gettysburg, or Shiloh, or Cowpens, or African Burial Grounds, or Guam/War In the Pacfic.
Are these the best exemplars of "Valor" represented in the Pacific war?
Does "Valor" come closest to describing what makes each site within this new National Monument distinctive? I would have thought the key story with the USS Arizona was an unprovoked sneak attack, perhaps adding the related story of the vulnerability of the American Fleet and our sailors in the way they were positioned at Pearl Harbor. The heroism of American sailors fighting to save their doomed ship and comrades seems to be the equal of the greatest stories of valor in the war in the pacific; but, were there not many, many examples of equal valor by Americans all over the Pacific? With Attu, I had thought the key story was the only occupation of American soil; my history books always said the war in the Aleutians was treated, and was, a sideshow -- not to take anything away from the suffering and courage of American troops and Aleuts. But is Attu particularly notable for "Valor?" And, is "Valor" the best way, or first way, to describe what makes the Tule Lake Relocation center nationally significant?
Is it a good idea to stick descriptive words of human behavior in the titles of national parks? It the past, the name of the place itself has overwhelmingly had the greatest dignity and meaning.
Why would the President in this case so title a new national monument? Would somebody in the National Park Service have recommended the word "Valor," after careful professional analysis, to the President? Something the NPS apparently did not do for two of his other national monuments, African Burial Ground and Governors Island: in their way, couldn't each of them have an argument for a valorous history?
Or did the President choose this title because he was trying to bring attention to himself, he was pandering, after a decidedly un-valorous Presidency, and trying to enhance his "legacy?"
National monuments, national parks, don't need this President's editorial opinion of the significance of the experience of the participants at each one of these sites. The experience of the heroes and/or the perpetrators stands for itself, just as it does in all national historical parks.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
If it isn't Walmart, will it just be some other development? Walmart is always an easy target bash. The real issue is what to do about this property if it is important to the battlefield.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
Walmart = Greed.....plain and simple.
Wal-Mart Request Would Put a Super Center Next to The Wilderness Battlefield
NO NO NO NO NO!!! Have respect for this precious land! ! ! !...............there are ENOUGH Walmart's & shopping centers!!!!
World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument is Established by Presidential Proclamation
While I am certainly happy that those sites are protected as Monuments and Memorials , I hope this National Monument will not stay for long. This hotch-pot of nine different sites in three states and under the jurisdiction of four cabinet departments will be hell to administer and impossible to cherish as a visitor.
Hopefully congress will create some decent umbrella park unit for all Hawaiian Wold War II sites, the Alaskan sites are out of the focus anyway and no one cares how they are administered. And finally Thule Lake deserve to become unit in its own right. A NHS would be nice, following Manzanar and Minidoka. Or to think bigger, how about a highly visible Memorial for the Japanese internment in downtown LA or SF at the site of one of the assembly centers? Besides the actual internment/concentration camps that were of course in very remote parts of the country. Have any of those first assembly points been in a federal building that still is owned by the federal government? Could a part of the first floor be cleared as a small museum and visitor center? Something along the African Burial Ground NM in Manhattan?

One of the problems I had when I started to learn unit testing, and a concept that seems to be hard to grasp as I teach others about unit testing, is this concept of testing just a unit. What is a unit after all?

|This article contains a translation of Felix Hausdorff from de.wikipedia.
"Hausdorff was still working mathematically at these increasingly difficult times", "He worked tirelessly", "He was selflessly supported" these phrases should be reworked, they are not neutral. Olivier Diotte (talk) 00:52, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
This: "On the night of Sunday 25 January all three took barbiturates. Both Hausdorff and his wife Charlotte were dead by the morning of the 26 January." is from this: MacTutor History of Mathematics entry for Hausdorff
- Michael David 11:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Putting him in the category makes him look as if he had died of an overdose of recreational drugs. I don't see how the fact that he used pills rather than a pistol matters. Hasdrubal 04:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- When the term 'recreational' is used in conjunction with a drug it means the drug is being used for a purpose other than for which it was prescribed. I, personally, wouldn't categorize a drug taken with the intention of committing suicide as being 'recreational', but, whatever you want to call them, in the case of Hausdorff, we are stuck with the fact that this way the way he chose to commit suicide. Therefore the cause of death must be Categorized as being 'drug-related'. I don't believe this portrays him as a 'recreational drug user' but, rather, as a person who wasn't reached in time.
- Michael David 12:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- I read the text about his suicide, and the Categories, and there's no way to know that he tooks drugs for the specific purpose of dying. The impression is that he became a drug addict because of depression, and then he (and the two women) commited suicide by other means. The text should be explicit about his method of suicide - or the drug cathegories should be removed. Albmont 12:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject class rating[edit]
This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 11:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Peter Frishauf My mother's mother was Edith Pappenheim, Charlotte (Lotta's) Hausdorff Pappenheim's sister. Felix, Charlotte, and Edith committed suicide as letters between Edith and Lotta and my mother (now in the posession of the Hausdorff Institute) affirm, because they were tipped off that they were being relocated to an "old age home" that was code for Auchwitz. I realize this information is primary source and therefor not a suitable referece for Wikipedia, but the Instittute will be publishing the letters with historical interptation by experts in the coming years. See the German edition of Wikipedia for more info. In the meantime, it is ridiculous to even infer that recreational drug use or treatment for depression had anything whatsoever to do with these deaths. —Preceding undated comment added 23:47, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
"His" son?[edit]
It says that Hausdorff's library was sold by "his" son. I presume that this is referring back to the previous paragraph and talking about the son of Hausdorff's lawyer, but only because the article earlier claims that Hausdorff's only child was a daughter. Anyone who missed that would assume it was talking about the son of Hausdorff. Is my interpretation correct?MathHisSci (talk) 22:53, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Urgent call from Defence of the Child International for action for the children of Gaza.
Defence of the Child International today, 27th September 2014, launched a petition urging David Cameron & Barack Obama "to support the United Nations Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry into possible war crimes in Gaza, to achieve accountability for the 501 children killed in the 2014 Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip." Click here for more details: Justice for Gaza's Children
Children under attack
It is clear that children are seen as legitimate targets by the Occupation. Every day, children (some as young as 7) are arrested, often violently by Israeli soldiers; attacks by armed illegal Israeli settlers are growing in number and boldness.
24 October 2014 Israeli army kills 14 year old Palestinian boy
14 year old, Orwah Hammad has become the 10th Palestinian child to be killed by live ammunition in the West Bank in 2014 according to Brad Parker from DCI Palestine as reported in this article from Mondoweiss : "A Palestinian teen with U.S. citizenship was killed today by the Israeli army at a demonstration in the West Bank town of Silwad, near Ramallah. Fourteen-year old Orwah Hammad was shot with a live bullet that entered his neck and exited through his head, according to Ramallah hospital staff. He died while being treated at Ramallah hospital around 6 p.m. this evening, Jerusalem time."
20 October 2014 Israeli soldiers detain developmentally-disabled boy
B'Tselem reports that soldiers arrested the boy, who is under the age of criminal responsibility, on suspicion of throwing stones. His brutal arrest was caught in this video filmed by a B'Tselem volunteer and exposes the central role of settlers and settlements in the oppression of the Palestinians.
"The boy, A. a-Rajbi, (full name withheld in interest of privacy) who will be 12 in a month, was detained after Palestinian children threw stones at soldiers on the main road of the Jabel Johar neighborhood in Hebron, close to the settlement of Kiryat Arba. A-Rajbi was handcuffed, blindfolded, and held on the floor of an army jeep for some 15 minutes until his father arrived and convinced the soldiers to release his son, who is mentally disabled and cannot speak. "In the video footage, filmed by B'Tselem volunteer Samih Da'na from his window, soldiers are seen holding the boy, handcuffing him, blindfolding him and closing him in the jeep, despite cries by Palestinian residents that the boy is mentally disabled. The footage also shows settlers from Kiryat Arba, watching the incident from behind the settlement's fence. Some are seen calling out encouragement to the soldiers, including several racist remarks."
19 October Inas Khalil, 5, killed after being run over by Israeli settler
Inas Shawkat Khalil has died after being hit by a car driven by an Israeli settler who did not stop. Another girl, Toleen Omar Asfour, is currently stable in hospital recovering from her wounds. Both girls were on their way home from kindergarten in Sinjil, Ramallah. Read more in the Middle East Monitor
16 October 2014 Baha Eldeen Samir Bader, 12 killed by IDF bullet
Defence of the Child International reports: "Baha Eldeen Samir Bader, 12, was killed by a bullet to his chest after Israeli soldiers raided Beit Liqya, southwest of Ramallah, on the evening of Thursday, October 16. Israeli soldiers bombarded the village with tear gas and ammunition. "Israeli forces continue to fire live ammunition at Palestinian children, killing them with impunity," said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program Director at DCI-Palestine. "Israeli soldiers consistently violate their own live-fire regulations and know that they will not be held accountable for their actions no matter what the result."
According to eyewitness testimonies collected by DCI-Palestine, three Israeli military jeeps entered Beit Liqya at around 5:00 pm on Thursday afternoon. The raid resulted in a confrontation between Israeli soldiers and local youths. Eyewitnesses said that about eighteen soldiers were present in the village when Baha was shot. One bystander told DCI-Palestine that Baha was returning home from playing on the football field, and had not been involved in the clashes at the time he was fatally shot. The witness was standing only 2 meters (6.5 feet) away from the child when he was shot. Baha died as a result of severe bleeding from a gunshot wound to his chest, according to medical sources. Baha arrived at the hospital without vital signs and was pronounced dead at around 8:30 pm."
10 September 2014: Schools attacked, teachers threatened
Illegal Israeli settlers attacked two schools in Nablus, Alaban & As-Sawiya. These photographs show the incident and some of the damage caused:
8 September 2014: Children violently detained near Hebron
Two adults and two children, aged seven and twelve, were arrested by Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near the West Bank city of Hebron, with the help of stun grenades and tear gas canisters. Fortunately the International Solidarity Movement were there to record the incident.
This is just one of many recent incidents in the West Bank, where children have suffered aggression on the way to and from school. An ISM spokesman said: "It is clear to see how the Israeli army's tactic of collective punishment is carried out in the daily lives of Palestinians, and children suffering from tear gas inhalation before and after school is not an unusual occurrence in Hebron." Children as young as six have been arrested. Read more about our campaign for child prisoners.

Swiss Scientists Discover DNA Remains Active After Space Journey and Re-entry 58
from the when-you-land-on-a-planet,-you're-landing-on-every-other-planet-it's-been-with dept.
Well, they're not that big, but they're mean. We get packs of young toms in the parking lot at work every now and then, and the best thing to do is to wait for them to move on, because they will peck and kick you and can do substantial damage.
And eating? It's probably the fowl that has the least amount of taste of all, and they tend to be very dry, even when cooked to perfection and people swear up and down that they're juicy. Compared to even drier turkey, perhaps, but not juicy compared to anything else.
And they're so big that unless you have a huge family, you'll eat leftover turkey until it goes bad, which is a big waste.
I had half a Cornish game hen with stuffing, bean casserole, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy and cranberry sauce. That's plenty of food for one person, and they're much juicier and tastier than the turkey, and something I don't eat on sandwiches year round anyhow. And I won't be eating leftovers Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... (damn, I sound like Rebecca Black.)
You trust Quickdrag?
Take a look at the comments. Just. Do. It.
Contrary to what some think, security isn't something you add on top afterwards - it's something best approached from the other end - don't introduce insecurity.
Also, it does not do much good if the text you wanted to paste comes from a different app.
It depends where you went to school. I was taught that EDSAC was the first fully programmable computer. Earlier devices (including ENIAC) had to be physically re-configured to run each different program using cables and switches, rather than just loading a new program into the same memory that is used for data.
I thought the Manchester "Baby" preceded EDSAC?
While it was limited compared to its successors, it did have stored programs.
(Also, the Z3 could be programmed from tape, but it was electromechanical and not electronic.)
With your strong security and privacy concern, you really should not use the address bar for searches.
I am surprised if this has not happened to most people:
You work on something, copying/pasting occasionally.
Then you browse.
You copy/paste a URL into the browser.
Except that the copy didn't take (bad keyboard, bad fingers, bad mojo) and you ended up pasting what was in the buffer from before.
If lucky, you only told the search engine something innocent.
If unlucky, you gave classified company data or highly private information.
Several years later than this one:
The Z3 was the first electromechanical gp computer
The ABC was the first electronic non-gp computer
The Colossus was the first electronic gp computer
The ENIAC was the first American gp computer.
I recently paid a visit to my sweet friend Helen Jane and was excited to find this book at her house.
She was excited to find a Barbie book at her friend place ? and she's excited because it could inspire her daughter ?
No, she was excited because that would likely be ammunition for another sexism rant.
Where do you find actual chemistry sets with actual chemicals in them that can actually make interesting things?
At junk/antique stores. Those made in the 1960s and earlier, generally haven't been crippled for safety.
The set I had came with both lead strips, acids and a burner.
Someone who should be fired, not for being misogynistic, but simply for being stupid enough to not understand what he/she was doing.
We cannot really accuse the woman who wrote this booklet of misogynism.
Of being of the same, ehrm, intelligence level as Barbie, no doubt. But not misogynism.
A little bit of sexism in how boys are portrayed, perhaps.
To be fair to that scene, it actually takes a bit of awareness to realize that fucked up 3d UI was a filesystem wrapper.
fsn (file system navigator) for IRIX was not universally known, but if the girl used IRIX at school, it is not unfeasible that she was familiar with it.
(Most people knowing fsn would have used it to start a real shell, instead of continuing to use the slowest file system navigator in existence, just because it was pretty. But her role in the movie was to be a Barbie, so pretty counts.)
How can something in the public domain NOT be open source?
Open Source depends on copyrights.
Public domain depends on there being no copyrights.
Telegram. It's open source, uses end to end encryption, and, unlike whatsapp, supports multiple connected clients at a time - including desktop clients for all platforms.
It's public domain, not open source.
End-to-end encryption is easy - you just need to send a courier with a one time pad.
And yes, there are telegraphs supporting multiple concurrent connections by using pitch shifting and filters so the receiver will only hear one set of beeps. But not more than a few.
Sure, there are desktop clients for all platforms - wooden, metal and marble top desktop can have clients, and there are even keys that mount on tilted desktops.
Of course you'll be hard pressed to find anyone on telegram
Indeed. Even Her Majesty The Queen stopped sending telegrams a few years ago. A shame, really.
This is the same company that lied about the capabilities of its photo app, as well as stored the photos insecurely.
Why would they have to? All they need to do is present Whatsapp with a hush order to hand over keys.
When Whatsapp generates and maintains the keys, there's no real security here.
I even think it's not unlikely that they have implemented this in cooperation with the three letter agencies, in order to lure people into thinking it is safe. And the great unwashed masses will be fooled, as always.
This is the same company that lied about the capabilities of its photo app, as well as stored the photos insecurely.
Don't forget storing conversation logs unencrypted.
Or requiring a personally identifiable marker (a phone number) in order to work, even when everything goes over IP and supporting anonymous users would be trivial.
If it is really END TO END, then WhatsApp can't see the data either.
True, but anyone sniffing the traffic can, if they have access to a decryption key. Not that we know of anyone who would possibly do that...
In my view, this encryption is not to be trusted unless and until it can accept keys that are generated outside the WhatsApp product. Otherwise, how much would you want to bet that the three letter agencies aren't getting a master key under a hush order?
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.

internet protocol suite Java library
This is an Internet protocol suite Java library originally developed by ORO, Inc. This version supports Finger, Whois, TFTP, Telnet, POP3, FTP, NNTP, SMTP, and some miscellaneous protocols like Time and Echo as well as BSD R command support. The purpose of the library is to provide fundamental protocol access, not higher-level abstractions. Therefore, some of the design violates object-oriented design principles. Our philosophy is to make the global functionality of a protocal accesible (e.g., TFTP send file and receive file) when possible, but also provide access to the fundamental protocols where applicable so that the programmer may construct his own custom implementations (e.g, the TFTP packet classes and the TFTP packet send and receive methods are exposed). NetComponents was originally a commercial product, but after ORO dissolved, it was continued to be made available for those who found it useful. However, no updates have been made since version 1.3.8, released in 1998. Now that certain contract obligations have expired, it is possible to make the source code freely available under the Apache Software License.

Investigators have been working hard the last couple of months to get to the bottom of why that Mosinee ambulance turned over, killing a patient and injuring three emergency workers. They now have some answers.
Ever since July 31, people have been wondering what exactly caused an ambulance to turn over on Interstate 39 in Rothschild. At a news conference at the Rothschild Police Department, chief Bill Schremp said the driver, Jason J. Taboyek, was driving too fast for conditions, the two outside back tires needed to be replaced, and a wet highway collectively played a role in the wreck.
Police say when heavy rain started falling, the driver did slow down, but eventually lost control of the vehicle, killing the patient inside, 52-year-old David Nicewander, and injuring the workers.
"You got major damage in the back with the patient," says an eyewitness in a 9-1-1 call. "We need major help down here."
One thing that may not ever be known was how fast the ambulance was going when it crashed, partially because there were no marks on the road.
"As a vehicle starts losing control, it'll go sideways down the highway, it'll kind of rotate a bit," says Deputy James Toth of the Marathon County Sheriff's Department. "If there are marks there, you can take some calculations and come up with a speed for the vehicle. However, due to the road being wet, there were no marks on the road."

Press release from GlobeNewswire (a Nasdaq OMX company)
Space Systems/Loral Expands Senior Management Team to Accommodate Business Growth
Wednesday, August 03, 2011
Space Systems/Loral Expands Senior Management Team to Accommodate Business Growth08:00 EDT Wednesday, August 03, 2011PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), the world's leading provider of commercial satellites, today announced that it has expanded its senior management team in order to accommodate increased business and prepare for further growth. David Bernstein was named Senior Vice President of Program Management and Paul Estey was named Senior Vice President of Engineering, Manufacturing and Test Operations. Both join the senior executive committee that drives the company's direction and recently achieved the status of Top Performing Company in its revenue category from "Aviation Week" magazine. With Mr. Bernstein's appointment, the company has separated the Program Management organization from the previously combined organization with Systems Engineering. Chris Hoeber, who managed the combined organization, will now focus his efforts on the expanded Systems Engineering, Research and Development, and Advanced Programs organizations. Mr. Bernstein has worked for SS/L for 14 years and was most recently Senior Executive Director for the company's SES programs. Before that he was Executive Director, Spacecraft Systems Engineering. He worked at TRW before he joined SS/L and holds a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Bernstein has consistently proven his leadership capabilities through the successful management of some of SS/L's most challenging programs. He successfully managed numerous technology developments that were eventually incorporated on the industry's first dedicated broadband satellite, which he managed through design, manufacturing and launch operations. He brings a dedicated customer focus and very strong systems engineering capabilities to the new role and has most recently managed the completion of three large and complex satellites for SES. Dr. Estey takes over the leadership role for Engineering, Manufacturing and Test Operations from Christian Goodman, who retired from the company at the end of July after 25 years of dedicated service. Dr. Estey has worked at SS/L for 13 years and was previously Executive Director of Bus Subsystems Operations. Before joining SS/L he worked at TRW. He holds a Master's degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD from Stanford University. Dr. Estey brings very strong management skills and extensive experience in systems engineering, product design, manufacturing and test to his new role. Over the past several years, as the Executive Director of Bus Subsystems Operations, Dr. Estey was responsible for the implementation of a series of productivity improvements that have driven the company to the top of its class in productivity. "As our business continues to grow, I depend on the leadership of seasoned professionals such as David, Paul and Chris, for focused program management, and to manage the increasing complexity involved in providing our customers with the world's best technical solution," said John Celli, president of Space Systems/Loral. "I am extremely confident in the skills and experience of our senior management team and look forward to our continued success in helping satellite operators meet the ever increasing demand for communications systems." The senior executive committee at Space Systems/Loral includes, John Celli, president; Ron Haley, senior vice president and chief financial officer; Arnold Friedman, senior vice president of Marketing and Sales; Chris Hoeber, senior vice president of Systems Engineering; Paul Estey, senior vice president of Engineering, Manufacturing and Test Operations; David Bernstein, senior vice president of Systems Engineering; John Rakow, senior vice president of Business and Legal Affairs; Larry Wray, vice president of Product Assurance; and Valerie Jünger, vice president of Human Resources.

I was looking for a light and fluffy bread and butter pudding to finish a heavy meal. I'm not averse to the heavier, stodgy version for a cold winter night, but this one needed to be a little more sophisticated. After some searching, this is the one I tried and it will be the one I stick to in the future. Really light, almost soufflé-like in its consistency.

I bought my 1993 a couple of years ago because my father has owned one for years and it has been a great car. I was lucky enough to find one with 74,000 miles on it. I have been very pleased with the car. It's still running strong and does wonderful in snowy weather.
