Welcome from the Comparative Law & Society Studies Center Director, Professor Rachel Cichowski
Welcome! The Comparative Law & Society Studies (CLASS) Center emphasizes the instrumental and dynamic role of law in shaping our contemporary and globalized world. Law is truly "all over" and increasingly becoming the primary mode of social control and cohesion in collective life. Law has certainly been a foundation for modernity, but its scope, diversity and centrality is greater now than ever before. The forces of legalization are proceeding at unparalleled rates throughout the world. In particular, transformative globalizing processes facilitated by high-speed electronic communication, expanding multinational corporate capital, and transnational economic and political arrangements at once are led by, and create vast demands for, new modes of legal coordination and regulation.
The CLASS Center is rooted in the premise that new conceptual frameworks are necessary to analyze the growing, changing presence of law in modern life. The new intellectual agenda we have developed differs dramatically from traditional "law & society" scholarship in four interrelated ways:
1. We seek to enact a deep commitment to interdisciplinary research and teaching. Our effort aims to nurture a community of scholars who truly integrate understandings, knowledge, and methods derived from several different disciplines at once.
2. We seek to view law as deeply embedded in an array of social processes rather than as a separate state-centered institution. While we recognize the need to understand state institutions, we also are attentive to law's variable presence as a constitutive force in society. In this "bottom up" view, law is not a unitary system of rules imposed on social relations, but rather it is understood to be manifest in multiple structures of knowledge, convention, and practice embedded and emergent within societies.
3. We explore law's diversity through adopting an explicitly comparative approach to its study. We emphasize systematic comparisons among legal institutions and practices within many different social contexts and among differently situated social groups. Such comparative study contributes to knowledge about the legal practices of diverse populations in different geographical sites and historical moments, and thereby enables broader generalizations about the variable forms, workings, and significance of law itself.
4. We emphasize law's emergent forms in a rapidly-globalizing world. In the contemporary world, transnational economic and political forces are developing to challenge, alter, and even supplant traditional local and state-based authorities. Indeed, law and legal experts are becoming more important than ever in structuring new realms of commercial market expansion, new forms of international and transnational political control (WTO, NAFTA), and new processes of political and economic dispute resolution (European Court of Justice) — all beyond traditional state authority. The emergence of transnational human rights advocacy networks represents but one dimension of such transformative legal forces. The CLASS Center is committed to promoting research and teaching that integrates all of these sophisticated insights.
The CLASS Center welcomes any faculty or graduate student who wishes to share in our passionate pursuit of greater and more comprehensive understandings of socio-legal dynamics in our contemporary and increasingly-globalized world.

Terminally Ill Baseball Fan Surprised with Autographed Ball, Hat, Jersey and Shoes from Los Angeles Dodgers Star Matt Kemp [VIDEO]
There are so many stories of professional athletes being complete douche bags, so how about a feel good story? Check this out, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Matt Kemp, took a minute after a game to surprise a 19 year old fan who is dying from cancer.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Joshua Jones from Tracy, California, who is suffering from inoperable tumors in his spine and has been given 90 days to live was at the game with his friend Tommy Schultz when Kemp kept a promise to his third base coach to visit Joshua before heading into the clubhouse after the game at San Francisco's AT&T Park.
Schultz is shooting the video when Kemp walks up to a stunned Jones and proceeds to sign a ball for him and then gives him his game worn hat, jersey and shoes!
Kemp told the Times that, "I said hi to him, he just looked at me in kind of shock, and it almost got me, it almost got me."
Ryan, Joshua's brother was also at the game and he sums up the encounter like this, "I don't think words can explain how great this was," Ryan said. "If this is the last memory of his life, it was an incredible one."

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Hands down favorite. Family, friends, food, drinks, and taking time to be thankful for our life is why I love the holiday. This year I have 33 people both friends and family coming to my house for dinner on Thanksgiving. I can't wait to set my table and enjoy time with loved ones. Speaking of setting the table… Seleta and I love our Thanksgiving stlyle session posts. This is our post from last year and here is our post from 2010. For our third year we are changining it up a bit. Here on the Tracery blog you will see our "organgey pumpkin table"(I don't think orangey is a word but it seems to work as a description in this instance) and over on Seleta's blog you will find our "organic and mercury table". So after you look through our post head on over to Seleta's blog to check out our other look.
With this Thanksgiving Table we started with citrus(which looks fake in the photos but they are real… they are from the trees in Jenny's yard), pumpkins (Seleta picked these up at our local grocery store), a tray from Tracery, and 2 glass hurricanes. A very simple and fresh Thanksgiving table setting. The pumpkins make great placecard holders also if your seating is assigned.
Gobble Gobble! Happy Thanksgiving!

When I started quilling in 2004 I found it extremely difficult to find quilling supplies locally or in any Canadian online store. I started talking to other quillers both locally and from other parts of Canada and learned they all had the same problem.So in 2006 I decided to fill this gap by opening my online store, but wanted to make sure I catered to all Canadian Quillers - both novice and experienced.And I also wanted to ensure I offered the widest selection of quilling supplies available by stocking from all three U.S. suppliers (Lake City, Paplin, Quilled Creations) thus offering more choice both in color range and price.

In three years since its inception, the non-profit Save the Rain organization has completed projects in 13 villages in Eastern Africa, helping 120,000 people get access to clean water.
In three years since its inception, the non-profit Save the Rain organization has completed projects in 13 villages in Eastern Africa, helping 120,000 people get access to clean water.
Based in Mount Shasta, Calif., Save the Rain is committed to solving the world's water crisis through the simple means of harvesting rainwater.
It can be difficult to imagine the conditions that the less fortunate live with each day, said Kelly Coleman, one of the founding members of Save the Rain.
Worldwide, 14,000 people (7,000 of whom are children) die every day from water-related illnesses or starvation from a lack of clean drinking water. More than one billion people walk at least three hours a day to collect one 5 gallon bucket of water.
"When one inch of rain falls on a 1000 square foot surface, you can collect 600 gallons of water," said Coleman.
Rain catchment systems require no electricity. "They can be installed in the most rural areas and can be made from the most primitive materials," she said.
Coleman explained that Save the Rain teaches communities to harvest rain through roof and surface water collection. The systems are built with only local materials, by the local work force.
"This assures our systems are repairable by the communities themselves ... they have all the knowledge and tools they need to be sustain themselves through a relationship with nature.
Save the Rain's program
Save the Rain's programs are completed in two phases. During Phase I a community is selected and the organization introduces themselves through the village's primary school. Education in these primary schools is free, although in reality many are not able to afford the required uniforms, which are approximately $2 each.
Interviews are conducted with parents and students of the community to assess the village's water practices – including available water sources and whether they boil water before use.
Shockingly, Coleman said, in Africa very few people boil water before drinking it. If they can afford the $1.50 per week for coal to boil the water or find firewood, which is scarce, then they do. But the reality is, most don't.
"It's a simple issue of economics and energy," Coleman said.
Water from available sources is tested. They are usually found to be loaded with fecal coliforms, parasites, and many other bacteria.
Health assessments are then performed on the students, where extremely high percentages of starvation, parasites, water-borne illnesses, and HIV/AIDS cases have been found.
Coleman said that often in Africa, schoolchildren bring a bucket to school like the western children bring a back pack.
"Every day they walk miles to a stream, which is often infected with disease and polluted with trash. They take turns filling their buckets, then walk home carrying 40 pounds of water for their families."
To solve this problem, Save the Rain's Phase I continues by building a rain catchment system on the school premises. Local masons and laborers use local materials to complete a tank that will provide the school with enough water to sustain the children and nourish a school farm, which will provide enough food to feed the students every day.
Each community then comes together to democratically elect a water committee that will work on governance, maintenance and the implementation of a Phase II?project.
The cost of Phase I is surprisingly inexpensive, said Coleman.
"Only $15 per villager provides them with a clean water supply for the rest of their lives, and the lives of their offspring."
The length of time required to complete Phase I differs for each village, depending on the people's needs and the supplies on hand, but usually this takes about 6 weeks.
Phase 2 involves teaching women villagers to build 5000 liter rain catchment systems at their homes. Each woman who signs up for the program is required to teach five additional women the technology. Save the Rain provides these women with the education and materials necessary to build the systems.
As each of the initial participants begins to repay the cost of the materials (over a time period that the each separate community deems feasible) additional loans are funded. The local water committees manage the repayment process, and Save the Rain audits it monthly. Cash is never given out as the projects begin; instead, materials are delivered.
The starting capital is never returned to the investor, but rather cycled through the community.
"Through this 'pay it forward' system, we should be able to get every household clean water within four loan cycles," said Coleman.
Encouraging news
Recent results of medical evaluations in the village of Kikwe, Tanzania – which was the site of Save the Rain's Phase I a little less than a year ago – were "absolutely amazing," Coleman said.
"Back in January, we partnered with the University of Washington and examined 292 of the 500 students in the Tanzanian village of Kikwe. The children ranged in ages from 5 to 12 years old. We found high percentages of starvation, parasites, water-borne diseases, and enough cases of HIV/AIDS to break your heart in half," said Coleman, who returned from a second trip to Kikwe only a few weeks ago.
"In September, during a re-evaluation of the community, we found as much as a 40 percent decrease in malnutrition and parasitical disease. ... We found happy, hydrated children whose performance in school had skyrocketed."
In addition, Coleman reports that for the fourth time in two years, all of the rain catchment systems built by Save the Rain in Tanzania were tested for water quality.
"We scored 100 percent on all of the systems. ... We found that rainwater is actually cleaner than most bottled water," she said.
Save the Rain's origins
In 2005, after hearing about the world water crisis, Coleman said her family was moved to do something to help.
"We decided that the conditions for many in Africa were unacceptable, and just decided to do something about it.
"We came together at my mom's dining room table, address books in hand, and made a list of 200 family members and friends that we could ask for help," Coleman said.
They wrote letters, and in six weeks had raised $17,000. Coleman applied for and received Save the Rain's non-profit status, and on Dec. 1, 2005, "armed with little more than our conviction, we headed off to Africa to begin our first project."
Coleman has been to Africa seven times now. She learned how to speak Swahili and is proficient enough to conduct interviews on her own. In January, she is headed back to Africa to continue working with villages to provide them with clean drinking water.
"I've been accused of being a huge dreamer, but I really think that the problems happening in this world are because we forgot how to dream. The most adverse ripple effect of poverty is that you stop dreaming."
Annual raffle
Save the Rain is raising money to end the water crisis in Africa by raffling off a new 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid 4x4. The drawing will take place Dec. 1. Only 2000 tickets will be sold, and the car can be delivered in the continental U.S.

The SEC released a guidance update in November that explained the regulatory body's position on the use of the terms "Protected" or "Guaranteed" in mutual fund names.
The short answer? Don't do it.
It's hard to imagine any compliance department worth its salt would let it happen in this day and age, but if it somehow gets through, advisors are forewarned.
"In the staff's view, when a mutual fund or other investment company uses a name that suggests safety or protection from loss, the name may contribute to investor misunderstanding of the risks associated with an investment in the fund and, in some circumstances, could be misleading," the update says. "The staff encourages any fund that exposes investors to market, credit or other risks, and whose name suggests safety or protection from loss, to re-evaluate the name and to consider changing the name, as appropriate, to eliminate the potential for investor misunderstanding."
It goes on the say that the SEC has recently heightened its scrutiny of fund names suggesting safety or protection from loss and has determined "to object to names that may create an impression of protection or safety or absence of risk of loss, where the name does not include qualifying language that defines the scope and limits of such protection."
For example, it notes that some funds that seek to manage the fund's volatility by investing a portion of the fund's assets in cash, short-term fixed income instruments, short positions on exchange-traded futures, or other investments included the term "protected" in their name. The SEC was concerned that these names could convey to investors a level of protection from loss that was not present because the degree to which a managed volatility strategy may succeed or fail is uncertain. In response to its concerns, some funds have chosen to replace the term "protected" with terms such as "managed risk."
"The staff acknowledges that a fund's name, like any other piece of information about a fund, cannot tell the whole story about the fund," it concludes. "We also acknowledge that the staff has recently requested name changes in situations in which a fund had provided prospectus disclosures that explained limitations on the scope of "protection" provided by the fund that were not revealed by the name itself. We have made these requests because we believe that, in practice, investors sometimes focus on a fund's name to determine the fund's investments and risks, either because the name sometimes appears without the clarifying prospectus disclosures (e.g., in advertisements) or because of the prominence of a fund's name or for other reasons."

Ireland learned the basics of needle felting
And how to drop spin
Of course there were lots of pretty things to see
I bought some roving for Ireland to spin
and some yarn. It was a good day, and really got me motivated for SAFF. When we got home I booked a hotel in Fletcher, NC (near Asheville) for the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair this October.
I really appreciate all the comments and emails about my brother. It's been a difficult time, but it will get better over time. I'm so grateful for your support and realize that none of us are on an island when it comes to heartache and troubles.

Jim Carrey is writing the next chapter of his career. Nope, that's not a metaphor.
The actor is set to try his hand as an author, announcing that he plans to self-publish his first novel. And, in true Jim Carrey, fashion, it's anything but predictable.
In an interview with HitFix, the "Incredible Burt Wonderstone" star reveals that he's angling to write what he dubs a "metaphysical children's book" that deals with "serious things in a really fun way."
U.S. & World
And he's already got a title: "How Roland Rolls."
According to the 51-year-old star, the book tells the story of a little wave, who, afraid that his life will be over when he hits the shore, realizes that "when he gets deep...he's not just a wave, he's the whole big wide ocean."
Deep, indeed!
"I'm gonna self-publish 'cause that's just the world right now, and I think it's cool," said the actor, who recently made headlines for slamming anti-gun-control advocates in both a Funny or Die sketch and in an impassioned Twitter rant.
Indeed, as the budding author clearly proves, he's got a way with words.
Jim Carrey's got company: Here are other celebs who've gotten political

Center on the Family receives additional funding for Hawaii Moving Forward projectUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Center on the Family
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's Center on the Family (COF) has been awarded $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Compassion Capital Fund to continue its Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project, which will assist grassroots, community service and faith-based organizations in Hawaiʻi that provide a range of social services to low income and under-resourced populations.
The Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project is a collaborative effort of the Center on the Family and the Hawaiian Islands Ministries, and aims to improve the skills and performance of the organizations through organizational capacity building training, technical assistance and grant funds.
This is the third time the COF has received a grant from the Compassion Capital Fund to conduct organizational capacity building initiatives for local organizations. The Center was initially awarded a $1.8 million grant in 2002 to conduct the Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project as a three-year demonstration, which resulted in providing intensive training and capacity building grants to a cohort of 25 organizations. In 2003, the Center was awarded its second grant of $950,000 for the Fellows Program that is currently assisting 17 organizations.
"Our evaluation of the first Fellows Program cohort indicated that the program was effective in strengthening the operating structures, diversifying and increasing the resources and developing the collaborative networks of the organizations that participated," said Ivette Rodriguez Stern, COF Project Coordinator. Evaluation data are currently being collected on the second cohort to further demonstrate the program's effectiveness.
In addition to the intensive Fellows Program, Hawaiʻi Moving Forward has also provided over 25 capacity building training workshops and events reaching nearly 1,800 representatives from faith- and community-based organizations statewide. These larger training events have been provided free of charge to participants.
"In Hawaiʻi, the rising number of people in need of services and the severity of problems require a strong and effective network of service organizations that are able to maximize their social impact,' said Sylvia Yuen, COF Director. "We aim to build the capacity of these organizations to enable them to provide more effective and sustainable services."
Hawaiʻi Moving Forward is one of only 10 programs nationwide that were funded in 2006. Public information meetings for organizations interested in participating in the Fellows Program will be conducted in January 2007 and applications will be made available then. Registration information for the larger capacity building workshops will be announced as they are scheduled.
For more information or to be placed on the Hawaiʻi Moving Forward email list, call 956-4132.
The Center on the Family (COF) is a unit within the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at UH Mānoa. Its mission is to enhance interdisciplinary research, service, and education that supports and strengthens families. The Center works closely with colleagues across disciplinary fields at the university and other academic institutions, as well as nonprofit and community organizations, governmental agencies, and private businesses. The Center's programs and activities are preventive in nature and aimed at building strong and resilient families. For more information, visit http://uhfamily.hawaii.edu/.

Right after high school I took a summer job working for Delta loading bags. When I was in training I noticed this old 767 cardboard cut out on a pile of old stuff. I was told if I wanted it I could have it. I think I remember seeing one hanging up at a travel agent office when I was a kid but have not been able to find one online and have no idea what it's worth. I was hoping someone could tell me more about it and maybe how rare or common it is. Thanks!

How student teachers understand African philosophy
Hoe student-onderwysers Afrika-filosofie verstaan
Matsephe M. LetsekaI; Elza VenterII
IDepartment of Educational Studies, University of South Africa, South Africa
IIDepartment of Teacher Education, University of South Africa, South Africa
The question 'What constitutes African philosophy?' was first raised with the publication of Placide Tempels's seminal work Bantu philosophy in 1959. Tempels's book inevitably elicited considerable critical response from African philosophers, which culminated in a wide range of publications such as Wiredu's (1980) Philosophy and an African culture, Hountondji's (1983) African philosophy: Myth and reality, Oruka's (1990) Sage philosophy: Indigenous thinkers and modern debate on African philosophy, Shutte's (1993) Philosophy for Africa, Masolo's (1994) African philosophy in search of identity and Gyekye's (1995) An essay of African philosophical thought: The Akan conceptual scheme. It has been over 60 years since the publication of Tempels's book and there continues to be serious debate about African philosophy. This article sought to contribute to the debate on the various conceptions of African philosophy, but with a focus on the challenges of teaching African philosophy to Philosophy of Education students at an open distance learning institution in South Africa. This article discussed the tendency amongst undergraduate Philosophy of Education students to conflate and reduce African philosophy to African cultures and traditions, and to the notion of ubuntu, and sought to understand the reasons for students' inclination to treat African philosophy in this way. It examined students' background knowledge of African philosophy, their critical thinking skills and whether their official study materials are selected and packaged in a manner that, in fact, adds to the challenges they face. Finally, the article explored the ways in which Philosophy of Education lecturers can adapt their pedagogy to provide students with a better understanding of African philosophy.
Die vraag 'Wat behels Afrika-filosofie?' was vir die eerste keer ge-opper met die publikasie van Placide Tempels se werk Bantu Philosophy in 1959. Dit was onvermydelik dat Tempels se boek 'n groot hoeveelheid kritiek uitgelok het van Afrika-filosowe, wat uitgeloop het op 'n wye reeks publikasies, soos: Wiredu (1980) Philosophy and an African Culture; Hountondji (1983) African Philosophy: Myth and Reality; Oruka (1990) Sage Philosophy: Indigenous thinkers and modern debate on African philosophy; Shutte (1993) Philosophy for Africa; Masolo (1994) African Philosophy in Search of Identity; en Gyekye (1995) An Essay of African Philosophical Thought: The Akan Conceptual Scheme. Sestig jaar sedert die publikasie van Tempels se boek is daar steeds ernstige gesprekke rondom Afrika-filosofie. Hierdie artikel wil bydra tot die debat rondom die begrip van Afrika-filosofie, maar met die klem op die uitdagings om Afrika-filosofie aan Filosofie van die Opvoeding studente aan 'n oop afstandsonderrig-instituut in Suid-Afrika te onderrig. Die artikel worstel met die neiging van voorgraadse studente van Filosofie van die Opvoeding om Afrika-filosofie te reduseer tot Afrika kulture en tradisies, asook die idee van ubuntu. Die artikel probeer om te verstaan waarom studente Afrika-filosofie op dié wyse hanteer. Daar word gekyk na die studente se agtergrondkennis van Afrika-filosofie, hulle kritiese denkvaardigheid en of die amptelike studiemateriaal dalk op wyse geselekteer en bymekaar gevoeg word wat kan bydra tot die uitdagings wat studente in die gesig staar. In die laaste instansie eksploreer die navorsers maniere waarop dosente van Filosofie van die Opvoeding hul pedagogie kan aanpas om studente te help om Afrika-filosofie beter te kan verstaan.

I have greatly admired the work of James Rosen over the years. He seems to me a classic old-fashioned reporter, as the events of the past week have strongly suggested. And while working his day job at Fox News, he also wrote an intensely interesting biography cum history, The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate.
Rosen's biography of Mitchell was unjustly neglected upon its publication in 2008. It appears not even to have made it into a paperback edition. Nevertheless, the book is excellent. Rosen is a talented researcher and the book represents a labor of love. He started work on the book in 1991, seventeen years before it was published, with the support of "the late, great William F. Buckley, Jr." and his "mentor" and "friend," Dan Rather, as Rosen puts in his acknowledgements.
Oh, yeah, one more thing: the subject is incredibly timely. Rosen's work on the book perfectly equips him to place his current ordeal in the proper context.
Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent the following memo of support to Rosen and his fellow Fox employees. It leaves a lot unsaid about the larger context of the Obama administration's assault on Fox News, but it rings all the right bells:
Dear colleagues,
The recent news about the FBI's seizure of the phone and email records of Fox News employees, including James Rosen, calls into question whether the federal government is meeting its constitutional obligation to preserve and protect a free press in the United States. We reject the government's efforts to criminalize the pursuit of investigative journalism and falsely characterize a Fox News reporter to a Federal judge as a "co-conspirator" in a crime. I know how concerned you are because so many of you have asked me: why should the government make me afraid to use a work phone or email account to gather news or even call a friend or family member? Well, they shouldn't have done it. The administration's attempt to intimidate Fox News and its employees will not succeed and their excuses will stand neither the test of law, the test of decency, nor the test of time. We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth.
I am proud of your tireless effort to report the news over the last 17 years. I stand with you, I support you and I thank you for your reporting with courageous optimism. Too many Americans fought and died to protect our unique American right of press freedom. We can't and we won't forget that. To be an American journalist is not only a great responsibility, but also a great honor. To be a Fox journalist is a high honor, not a high crime. Even this memo of support will cause some to demonize us and try to find irrelevant things to cause us to waver. We will not waver.
As Fox News employees, we sometimes are forced to stand alone, but even then when we know we are reporting what is true and what is right, we stand proud and fearless. Thank you for your hard work and all your efforts.
Roger Ailes

La. watches weather as crews remove explosives
Tue., Dec. 4, 2012
DOYLINE, La. (AP) — Authorities are keeping a close eye on the weather during operations to secure 6 million pounds of explosives at a former ammunition plant.
The National Weather Service says thunderstorms are likely Tuesday in the town of Doyline, located next to the site where the propellant used in artillery shells was haphazardly stored.
State police spokeswoman Lt. Julie Lewis says crews will suspend efforts to relocate the M6 propellant into bunkers if lightning is spotted within five miles of the site.
As of Monday, crews had segregated or safely stored 1.2 million pounds.
In addition to triggering the evacuation of about 400 people, the discovery of the explosives has spawned a criminal investigation of the company that owns the materials, Explo Systems.
Explo has not publicly commented on the investigation.

Ed O'Reilly is calling for a change in the Massachusetts political power structure. How will O'Reilly enact that change? By running for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
He looks a little bit like a Kennedy. He sounds a little bit like a Kennedy. His liberal Democrat politics are in line with those of a Kennedy.
He is, however, Ed O'Reilly, and he, O'Reilly, not a Kennedy, is calling for a change in the Massachusetts political power structure.
How will O'Reilly enact that change? By running for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Against John Kerry.
Yes, the same John Kerry who has served as Massachusetts' Junior Senator since 1985. Yes, the same John Kerry who nearly uprooted President Bush in 2004. And, yes, the same John Kerry who's inexhaustible supplies of ketchup could fill the world's oceans.
It's a mammoth task, taking on the country's wealthiest senator. But someone has to do it, and O'Reilly, of Gloucester, Mass., believes he is that someone.
"[Kerry] is not a supporter of the Massachusetts Democratic Party platform. He's not in line with it. I am," O'Reilly said.
O'Reilly is challenging Kerry because he feels that citizens of Massachusetts want change, not six more years of the same.
In fact, members of O'Reilly's campaign team developed a flash cartoon depicting a groundhog coming out of its hole and John Kerry slipping by on a windsurf board.
The groundhog theme is meant as homage to Bill Murray's classic film "Groundhog Day," in which Murray's character, reporter Phil Connors, repeatedly wakes up each morning in Punxsutawney to exactly the same thing he woke up to the previous day. It is also meant to lampoon Kerry for being caught windsurfing in 2004 during a time that the presidential campaign was particularly heated, O'Reilly said.
"People want something different," O'Reilly said. "And that cartoon depicts how he is really all about sound bites and photo ops and is not a worker."
O'Reilly's messages: Get out of Iraq, provide every citizen with affordable health care, make higher education affordable and realistic for everyone, protect the environment and end our dependency as a nation on foreign energy.

Littleheart's second Birthday is coming up next month, and I want to make her a special outfit for the occasion. I am planning on making her a rainbow birthday party, and am designing her outfit accordingly. I will post about the finished outfit when it is done, but today I would like to show you how to make a Knight's Pleat Sleeve (which I am using for her birthday shirt). I saw this sleeve on a woman a while back, and have recreated it from my memory (so I am not sure if it is like that shirt, but I like the outcome, so who cares, right?). I call it the Knight's Pleat Sleeve because it reminds me of the armor the medieval knights used to wear:
This sleeve works for any shirt, adults or children.
Want to make it? Here is how!
What you will need
A T-shirt pattern
1/2 yard of knit fabric (for child shirt)
a strip of matching lightweight cotton fabric. The strip needs to be 4 times the legth of your sleeve piece and 2.5 times the width (at the widest part of the sleeve). This might be a bit too much, but I like to be on the safe side...
The type of pleats you are going to make is called "Knife Pleat". If you want a detailed exlanation on how to make a knife pleat I found a good one at Burda.
Take your strip of cotton fabric. Start making your pleats at one of the short ends and continue all the way to the other end.
Pin each pleat in three places: the two ends and the middle. Continue making your pleats all the way to the other side. It should look like this:
Now stich across all the pleats on the two ends of the material and in the middle. Make sure you stich as close to the edge as possible (for the side seams). These are actually supporting seams that you do not want to see later.
Your piece should look like this:
Iron down your pleats.
Now fold your strip at the middle seam and iron again.
Take your sleeve pattern piece and place it on your folded pleated material.The straight part of the sleeve should be lined up with the fold. Pin in place.
Now sew along the line of the sleeve, half an inch away from the edge (this is your seam allowance).
Trim close to where you stiched.
Sew together your front and back bodice at the shoulder seams.
Set your sleeve in your shirt (before you sew the side seams). Sew along the rounded part.
Sew your side seams, starting at the sleeve.
Hem your shirt and make the neckline however you want.
Have fun!
I will be linking up to some of the link parties on this page .

This piece by Arun Gupta gets to something important about our American "democracy":
[T]hese days Americans have as much familiarity with democracy as they do with homesteading on the frontier. We like to imagine ourselves as pioneering statesmen, hewing a sturdy nation from the simple tools democracy has bequeathed us – messaging, voting, debates, elections, law-making – but we are lost in the wilderness when it comes to discovering the essence of democracy.
Democracy is not the same as the perpetual-motion electoral machine. It's both a means and end built on dialogue, respect, relationships and reason, and it's everything Christie pummels into submission. But don't blame the public for this sorry state of affairs. Our lives are bereft of democracy. Virtually all schools are authoritarian, as are churches. Families teeter between parental authority and youthful insubordination. Few believe consumerism is democratic (but our democracy is consumeristic). Say "workplace democracy" to anyone at the office and blank stares is the best reaction you can hope for.
Few people know how to engage in democratic discussion and dialogue. I've heard the same story from food-justice organizers in Brooklyn, anti-fracking activists in Ohio, warehouse workers in Chicago, and home-foreclosure defenders in Oakland. It's back to basics. Organizing now means first building community through socializing such as potlucks, block parties and softball games, and teaching people how to collectively listen to and discuss ideas with mutual respect.
He is leading up to an explanation as to why people like the bullying tough guy types such as Chris Christie --- they are looking for someone to "take charge" in a world in which they feel a loss of control.
Maybe. I agree that our connection with "democracy" is more tenuous than ever, for a lot of reasons. The promise of "we are the ones we've been waiting for" and "hope and change" giving way to the reality that the whole thing can be brought to a halt by a rump group of extremists alone has been very disillusioning to a great many people. But I actually think that thuggish guys like Christie always appeal to a fair number of Americans regardless of the conditions of the moment. The question is always whether that person can get a majority to vote for him.
I think he's right about this:
Christie taps into something dark in the American political soul – a desire not just for order or efficiency, but pleasure in humiliating the weak. Is it surprising women are a frequent target of his abuse, who are pathologized in our society as weak?
Like every bully, Christie crossed the line, or a bridge in his instance. The silver lining is his presidential ambitions may drown in the brewing scandal so the whole nation doesn't have to suffer him degrading women with blow-job jokes. But others like Christie will follow in his wake until we realize our society does not suffer from a lack of authoritarian bullies but a deficit of grassroots democracy.
Christie may recover from this scandal and go on to win the nomination. It wouldn't be the first time that happened. We do have a problem with our democracy, no doubt about that, and our work is cut out for us to turn that around. As Eric Boehlert illustrates here, one of the necessary first steps is to do something about the political press which has shown over and over again its propensity for immature storylines that explain nothing of importance and leave the people relating to their politics as a TV show. And boy did they love them some Chris Christie:
In the last month alone, TIME magazine has declared that Christie governed with "kind of bipartisan dealmaking that no one seems to do anymore." MSNBC's Morning Joe called the governor "different," "fresh," and "sort of a change from public people that you see coming out of Washington." In a GQ profile, Christie was deemed "that most unlikely of pols: a happy warrior," while National Journal described him as "the Republican governor with a can-do attitude" who "made it through 2013 largely unscathed. No scandals, no embarrassments or gaffes." ABC's Barbara Walters crowned Christie as one of her 10 Most Fascinating People, casting him as a "passionate and compassionate" politician who cannot lie.
Note that when Christie last year easily won re-election against a weak Democratic opponent (via record low voter turnout), the Beltway press treated the win as some sort of national coronation ("Chris Christie is a rock star" announced CNN's Carol Costello), with endless cable coverage and a round of softball interviews on the Sunday political talk circuit.
Here's Time from last November's celebration: "He's a workhorse with a temper and a tongue, the guy who loves his mother and gets it done." That, of course, is indistinguishable from a Christie office press release. But it's been that way for years.
The man acted like a thug and a jackass in public repeatedly, in ways that foreshadowed this scandal to a t, and yet this was how the media chose to portray him. No wonder our democracy's in trouble.
