Tweeted Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-4) after 6 of his siblings made an ad endorsing his opponent.
Here's the ad:
Here's a WaPo article with more details:
In January, he drew bipartisan rebukes after he said he asked the Capitol Police and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to check IDs at the State of the Union to arrest and deport any undocumented immigrants in attendance...There are 3 more siblings who didn't appear in the ad. The parents support Paul. Paul is quoted: "To the six angry Democrat Gosars—see you at Mom and Dad's house!"
The next month, Gosar said FBI and Department of Justice officials such as Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, former acting attorney general Sally Yates and former FBI director James B. Comey should face "treason" charges because of developments in the Russia investigation. In the summer, he spoke at a rally in London for one of Britain's most notorious anti-Muslim campaigners, Tommy Robinson, drawing rebukes from Muslim American groups.
But perhaps his most notorious moment came in 2017 in an interview with Vice News, when he spread a baseless conspiracy theory that the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville that summer had been "created by the left." He also brought up the common right-wing falsehood that the liberal philanthropist and financier George Soros, who survived the Holocaust, had collaborated with Nazis.

Checkmark column shift-click
I'm working with the Grid Plugins Example page:
in IE and FF. If I click a row and then shift-click a row above or below it highlights the first, last, and each row between. If I then shift-click a row between the first and last the selection is truncated to where I jsut clicked, but the selection is truncated to just before where I clicked (the row I just clicked is excluded from the selection) and the row I had first shift-clicked on originally to expand my selection is still selected. As I type this I realize how difficult it is for even me to follow. I'll try and do better...
I click on row 1.
I shift-click on row 8. Rows 1-8 are selected.
I shift-click on row 5. Rows 1-4 are selected. Row 8 is selected.
If it makes any difference row 8 is darker than the other. Kind of a 'most selected' sort of highlighting. Don't know if that factors.
FF used: 3.6.13

- Additional Product Notes
TotalSeq™ reagents are designed to profile protein levels at a single cell level following an optimized protocol similar to the CITE-seq workflow. A compatible single cell device (e.g. 10x Genomics Chromium System and Reagents) and sequencer (e.g. Illumina analyzers) are required. Please contact technical support for more information, or visit biolegend.com/totalseq.
The barcode flanking sequences are CGGAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAGNNNNNNNNNN (PCR handle), and NNNNNNNNNCCCATATAAGA*A*A (capture sequence). N represents either randomly selected A, C, G, or T, and * indicates a phosphorothioated bond, to prevent nuclease degradation.

Related FAQs
- What type of PE do you use in your conjugates?
- We use R-PE in our conjugates.
- What is TotalSeq™ and how do they work with established workflows (CITE-seq, and REAP-seq)?
TotalSeq™ is BioLegend's brand of antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, to enable simultaneous analysis of proteins and mRNA in single cells. CITE-seq and REAP-seq are two similar workflows to do simultaneous protein and mRNA analysis, and the TotalSeq™ conjugates integrate seamlessly into these workflows.
- What's the benefit of Cell hashing?
Hashing allows customers to run multiple samples in a single lane of a 10x Genomics Chromium instrument, or equivalent, which optimizes the number of cells or samples that can be analysed simultaneously. This can reduce variability due to batch effects, handling, etc. It can also improve yield when cell numbers are low and optimize the use of the platform.
- Does co-staining for FACS and TotalSeq™ interfere with the workflow?
We have not tested this, but there is no reason to believe that non-competing clones for the same target would be problematic. Similarly, a sub-saturating concentration of both reagents against the same target should be tolerated by the cell/technique. The original CITE-seq paper by Stoeckius et al.(Fig. 2) demonstrated that cells can be co-stained for downstream analyses. Although the authors did not use current TotalSeq™ reagents, the technology is the same. In addition, other CITE-Seq users have also demonstrated this approach. Please contact our technical service group for more information.
- Is it possible to do FACS sorting first then do CITE-Seq, while performing both antibody-oligo and antibody-fluorophore labelling at the same time? Will the oligo conjugate withstand sorting?
The oligo should withstand sorting. However, based on theoretical considerations we recommend to use non-competing clones, to minimize impact in either FACS or sequencing signal/reading. Even if exposed for a very short time, we have not evaluated the effect of ultraviolet or violet lasers on the oligo conjugates. An alternative to flow sorting could be magnetic bead enrichment, such as our MojoSort™ platform.
- How many TotalSeq™ antibodies is it possible to multiplex?
A published article multiplexed 82 antibodies conjugated to oligonucleotides. The authors did not use current TotalSeq™ antibodies, but the method is very similar, which they termed REAP-seq. There is no reason to believe that larger panels are not possible.
- How many cells do you need per experiment?
This depends on the biological question that needs to be answered. From the technical perspective, when using 10X Genomics Chromium, it is recommended to load 5,000 – 10,000 cells per lane. The use of Hashtags can increase that number. For ease of staining, we typically recommend 1 million cells, but this number also depends on availability of cells and the operator's ability to handle low cell numbers.
- What is the baseline copy number for detection of protein expression (via TotalSeq™ labelling)?
This has to do mostly with antibody affinity, titration, and level of antigen expression. BioLegend and some collaborators are working on titration data. There is also some data already published. In theory, as long as the antibody can bind one molecule, PCR amplification and sequencing should pick it up, but there is always background noise. A common way to control for this is to add negative cells to your experiment. For example, if working with human PBMCs, use mouse cells and vice versa.
- Is autofluorescence an issue as in flow cytometry?
No, sequencing as the final readout is not affected by cell autofluorescence.
- Can CITE-seq be extended to micro-RNAs?
This is a technically challenging application as micro-RNAs are very small, and in many cases will be as small as or even smaller than the required primers to execute the protocol. It is not possible at the moment.
- Is it possible to run CyTOF® and TotalSeq™ (CITE-seq) alongside each other?
Not in the same experiment; it is not possible because CyTOF® requires its own instrument and protocol, and it destroys the sample in the process. To do so, it is necessary to split the sample and run both CyTOF® and CITE-seq assays. Note that CITE-seq generates equivalent data for surface proteins as CyTOF® with higher panel multiplexing capabilities and at a single-cell level.
- How is the oligo tag bound to the antibody so that it does not interfere with antibody binding to target protein?
The oligo is attached to the antibody in the same method as some of our fluorophore-conjugated antibodies that are quality tested for flow cytometry. Once the antibodies have been conjugated to the oligonucleotide, we verify by flow cytometry that the antibody can still bind to its target. This is part of our quality control process for TotalSeq™ conjugates.
- Is it necessary to sort samples prior to CITE-seq? What should I consider when deciding to pre-sort, or not?
If the populations of interest can be clustered/identified without sorting, the likelihood that you need to pre-sort is minimal. However, if the cell number in the cluster is very small, it may not be sufficient to draw conclusions when compared to control, or other cell populations. In which case, enrichment of this population prior to CITE-seq analysis may help with obtaining more meaningful sequencing data that is selective for your rare cell population(s) of interest. We also recommend to sort out dead cells if the viability in a sample is lower than 95%.
- Why is it essential to remove dead cells prior to subjecting samples for CITE-seq?
Running dead cells during CITE-seq essentially leads to "wasting" single cell runs on dead cells, which may ultimately lead to sub-optimal data, or not processing enough cells to pick up the positive events, especially if the frequency of your target cell is very low. Dead cells can also be removed using magnetic particles. If performing CITE-seq before eliminating dead cells is required, it is possible to use bioinformatics methods to try to clean up low quality events (which may include dead cells). This could be a more complex approach, but in such cases, we recommend the following reading:
- How can I titrate TotalSeq™ antibodies?
We are still in the process of identifying optimal concentrations for the use of TotalSeq™ reagents. However, here is what we can recommend for titrations:
- Performing titrations using the actual CITE-seq method is costly, but using Hashtags can make the process more affordable. See Fig. 3 and associated methods of this publication for more information.
- Perform flow cytometry experiments to find the optimal antibody amount, using the same clone conjugated to PE. The flow cytometry antibody amount translates well to the CITE-seq amount.
- Label the cells with different concentrations of TotalSeq™ antibody, and then use a poly-dT oligo conjugated to a fluorophore, such as Alexa Fluor® 647, as a secondary reagent to detect the TotalSeq™ antibody. This is a more direct method as compared to the ones listed above, but it requires the use of the actual TotalSeq™ antibody.
- Why should I generate ADT/Hashtags libraries separate from mRNA?
To provide flexibility when sequencing. Libraries can be mixed at different ratios before sequencing depending on the number of reads needed.
- I need to order primer; where do I order them and what purity is needed?
There are several companies offering primer synthesis. We can recommend IDT technologies. For additive primers, desalt purification is sufficient. For index primers, either HPLC or PAGE is needed.
- What tools are available for data analysis?
Cell Ranger 3.0 can be used for barcode count, although some reagents or applications may not be supported by 10x Genomics. Useful resources include CITE-Seq-Count, and the Satija Lab. Please contact our technical service group (email@example.com) for further information.
- What are "Hashtags"?
Hashtag reagents are intended to be used for sample barcoding, which allows users to combine multiple samples into a single lane, then de-multiplex during analysis. Instead of select antigen-specific antibodies, the hashtags are designed so that they are specific for human or mouse cells, and to cover as many cells as possible. For human samples, the hashtags are made of two antibodies that recognize ubiquitous surface markers, CD298 and β2 microglobulin, each conjugated to the same oligonucleotide containing the barcode sequence. For mouse samples, the surface markers are CD45 and H-2 MHC class I. The conjugates are already pre-mixed and ready to use.

Republican Senate candidate Daniel B. Winslow, who has suggested that he is a member of the middle class, earned more than $500,000 a year in both 2010 and 2011, making him part of the top 1 percent of earners in America.
Winslow, a state representative and trial lawyer, released the information in a one-page memo that showed his annual earnings and the federal tax rate he paid every year between 2003 and 2011. With his memo, he became the first candidate to inject the issue of tax returns into the special election.
Winslow said he was disclosing the information as part of his pledge to be transparent and promised to release 10 years of complete tax returns next week.
But the filings also seemed designed to quietly amend the portrait he has painted of himself as a typical workaday earner. In addition, the disclosure — on a snowy Friday afternoon, when much of the news media and the public were focused on the storm — suggested that it may have been timed to avoid broad public scrutiny.
"Throughout my campaign I will endeavor to promote openness, clarity of opinion, and transparency," Winslow said in a statement. "In this condensed election cycle we owe it to the voter to be forthright about our views and our financial records so that when they go to the polls they have adequate information to make an informed choice."
When contacted by the Globe, only one of the five other candidates in the race, Republican Michael J. Sullivan, a former US attorney, said he was planning to match Winslow in releasing 10 years of tax returns. The third Republican in the race, Gabriel E. Gomez, would not say if he would release his returns.
Winslow's move may be designed to pressure Gomez to do so, since Gomez has until recently been working as a private equity investor, a highly lucrative field that enjoys special tax benefits.
Winslow's earnings may come as a surprise to voters who have heard him on the campaign trail, where he talks about the two mortgages and three tuitions he has to pay. He also mentions that his father was an antenna repairman and his mother was a nurse.
"The Senate has plenty of millionaires, but I think we need more senators who have mortgages to pay, and who have walked in the shoes of the working men and women of Massachusetts, who come from the middle class," he said at a press conference last month.
A former district court judge, onetime chief legal counsel to Governor Mitt Romney and, until recently, a litigator at the firm Proskauer, Winslow lives in Norfolk and owns a second home in Truro.
He recently loaned his campaign $100,000 to help finance paid signature gatherers so he could qualify for the Republican primary ballot.
He reported an average adjusted gross income of $318,473 between 2003 and 2011. He earned a low of $115,586 in 2003 and highs of $514,745 in 2010 and $567,749 in 2011. His average federal tax rate was 22.2 percent.
Sullivan's campaign did not make clear when he would release 10 years of tax returns, but urged Gomez to disclose his finances as well.
"Mike would be happy to be transparent, and we would encourage Mr. Gomez to do the same," said Paul Moore, Sullivan's campaign manager. "Mike's been a public servant during most of the last 10 years, so it's not been years of raking in millions."
Gomez's campaign said some of his financial information will be released in the personal financial disclosure forms all federal candidates must complete by March 30.
On the Democratic side, aides to US Representatives Edward J. Markey and Stephen F. Lynch said their campaigns had not decided whether to release tax returns. The base salary for a member of the US House is $174,000.
"Unlike Dan Winslow, congressman Lynch is a full-time legislator and does not have a second job," said Lynch spokesman Conor Yunits. "As a member of Congress, his salary is publicly available and he has already made a full public disclosure of his income and assets."
Giselle Barry, a Markey spokeswoman, said in a statement: "Rep. Markey's income, assets, liabilities, and transactions for the past 20 years are publicly available to anyone who wants to see them from the disclosure forms he files each year. He believes a reasonable level of tax disclosure is appropriate and is considering the issue carefully."
Tax returns often become flash points in political campaigns because they show where candidates fall on the income scale and whether they use loopholes or benefits to reduce their tax burdens below what the typical middle-class earner might pay. The returns may also reveal conflicts of interest and contradictions between a candidate's policy pronouncements and personal financial practices.
During last year's presidential race, for instance, Mitt Romney faced a firestorm of criticism for not releasing multiple years of tax returns. Critics accused the multimillionaire of trying to exploit tax loopholes to avoid paying his fair share to the government.
In last year's Senate race in Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown both released tax information that showed they were in the nation's top income bracket.

Project seeks to harvest fog for irrigation
Fog has been billowing inside a small greenhouse on the University of Washington campus for the past month, but it doesn't arrive on little cat feet. It comes hissing out of high-pressure nozzles.
The man-made mist is part of an effort to help slum-dwellers in Peru harvest moisture from the air. With a small grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, UW students and professors are building and testing fog catchers - and hoping to reel in a bigger grant to mount a full-scale operation in Lima.
"It's like a cold sauna in here," UW ecologist and civil engineer Susan Bolton said recently, ducking into the plastic "hoop house," where industrial-grade misters spewed out a cloud of fine water droplets.
A noisy exhaust fan drew the cloud through a drape of black plastic netting. Droplets settled out on the mesh, coalesced and trickled into a plastic bucket. Forty-five minutes into the morning's first test run, Bolton and graduate student Peter Cromwell emptied the bucket into graduated cylinders to measure the haul: 1,212 milliliters, or about a third of a gallon.
Wringing water from fog is not a new idea. Almost 2,000 years ago, the people of the Canary Islands gathered water that dripped from trees - nature's own fog catchers. Several engineered fog-collection systems are in operation around the world today, including one in the highlands of Guatemala that provides a village of 200 people with nearly 2,000 gallons a day.
Standard fog catchers are large rectangles of plastic mesh suspended on frames. The UW project is exploring new materials and designs that may boost the yield and lower the cost, said Ben Spencer, assistant professor of landscape architecture. "The more water you can get, the better."
Spencer is part of a group of UW faculty that has been working for several years in Lomas de Zapallal, a sprawling squatter community on the northern outskirts of Lima. Few homes have piped water, so people pay a premium to have it delivered by truck, Spencer said.
Lima is also one of the world's most arid cities, with some neighborhoods receiving a scant half-inch of rain a year. But thick fog rolls in off the Pacific between June and December, making the area ideal for fog-catching.
For expert advice, the UW group turned to Robert Schemenauer, founder of FogQuest, a nonprofit based in Kamloops, B.C. An atmospheric physicist, Schemenauer pioneered most of the fog-collection systems in use today.
The technology will never be a substitute for large municipal water supplies, he said.
It works best in small, mountainous communities where frequent fog combines with a steady breeze needed to propel the mist through collectors.
Any new designs the UW team comes up with will have to be practical, above all, Schemenauer cautioned. "You need something that's cheap and strong and will last for 10 years."
Among the materials the UW group is testing are fibrous plastic mats used to stabilize slopes and turf. "We call them our hairy fog collectors," Spencer said.
Early results suggest the greater surface area of the fuzzy mats may extract more water than the standard plastic mesh.
Students are also experimenting with collectors of different shapes, including one that resembles the mainsail of a sloop.
The team set up a couple of small test collectors in Lomas de Zapallal, and have been working with the people there to determine whether they're interested in a system and how they would prefer to use it, Cromwell said.
"The community has to buy into it," he said.
What people seem to want most is water to irrigate parks and green spaces, he said.
In some parts of the world, fog nurtures forests, which absorb the water from the air. But in Lima, those forests were cut down hundreds of years ago, Bolton said.
"This is moisture that kind of doesn't go anywhere," she said. "It's not like we're diverting a river."
In fact, locals hope to use water collected from fog to coax trees to grow again. "The idea is that you can use fog to put those forests back," Bolton said.
The UW project is one of 45across the country that won $15,000 grants from the EPA's People, Prosperity and the Planet student research program. The goal is to promote sustainable solutions to environmental problems.
In April, representatives of all the teams will lay out their preliminary results and follow-up plans at the National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington, D.C. Six teams will win $90,000 follow-up grants, though the agency has sent out a letter warning that the federal budget cuts known as sequestration that kicked in this month might require the program to be scaled back, Spencer said.
If the UW team is victorious, members will set up a large-scale fog collector in Lomas de Zapallal and tie it into an irrigation system. Eventually, the system could be expanded to provide household water until neighborhoods can be hooked into Lima's municipal system, Bolton said.
"It can be a bridge technology."

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $(\bar{X},\bar{d})$ its completion. There is a list of topological properties Wikipedia - Topological property
Does anybody know list which of them are retained (inherited) for completion? For example
if $(X,d)$ is locally compact space then $\bar{X}$ may be non-locally compact space.(Consider the induced path metric space on the following subset of the Euclidean plane: $(0,1] \times \{ 0 \}\cup (0,1]\times \{1\}\cup \bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty}\{1/n\}\times [0,1] $.)
if $(X,d)$ is separable space then $\bar{X}$ is separable space.
- if $(X,d)$ is connected space then $\bar{X}$ is connected space.
- if $(X,d)$ is path-connected space then $\bar{X}$ may be non path-connected space. (consider the graph of $\sin(1/x)$ in the plane for positive $x$. )
I am interested in this problem in general, especially for the spaces with intrinsic metric.

AC/DC's Brian Johnson Is Bringing His Hit TV Series To U.S. In September
By Andrew Magnotta @AndrewMagnotta
July 11, 2019
AC/DC front man Brian Johnson's television show is finally coming to a U.S. audience this September.
AXS TV on Wednesday announced that Brian Johnson's: A Life on the Road will make its American debut Sunday, Sept. 15 at 9 p.m. ET/6p.m. PT.
The series follows Johnson as he travels the world with other Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, getting an inside look at new angles on their passion for music. The first two seasons of the series, which AXS TV has acquired, feature episodes with Sting, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Joe Elliott, Lars Ulrich, Nick Mason, Billy Joel, Joe Walsh, Dolly Parton, Paul Rodgers and Mick Fleetwood.
Johnson says the reason the show works is because he and his guests have authentic conversations based on their unique mutual experiences as rock/pop stars.
"To sit and chat with my friends and heroes while filming On the Road was ridiculous fun, and with no professional journalists around, you can feel the trust," he said.
The first episode features Johnson visiting Sting in New York City, where The Police front man discusses the band's early days, as well as the inspiration behind their biggest hit, "Roxanne."
The pair even visit the former site of New York's legendary punk rock venue CBGB's, where The Police performed their first U.S. gig.
In the next episode, John and Plant discuss Led Zeppelin's love of American blues music and how Plant established him as a solo artist after so many years in Zeppelin.

A CD and DVD of the musical "Poe," from Alan Parsons Project songwriter Eric Woolfson, will be released next month as part of a push to drum up interest in a U.S. staging of the tuner.
"Poe" was first seen in a 2003 showcase that was performed in front of an audience at Abbey Road Studios. The CD and DVD are recordings of the event, which starred Steve Balsamo ("Jesus Christ Superstar").
A German-language incarnation of "Poe" is currently playing outside Berlin.
Musicals penned by Woolfson, who died late last year, have been produced in Europe and Asia, but none have made it Stateside. The 2007 offering "Dancing Shadows," with book by Ariel Dorfman, picked up five awards at Korea's version of the Tonys.
"Poe," a retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's biography with songs about some of his best-known stories, repped a return to familiar subject matter for Woolfson. His long partnership with Alan Parsons, who recorded under the name Alan Parsons Project, commenced with a 1976 album titled "Tales of Mystery and Imagination — Edgar Allan Poe."
Full title of the musical is "Poe, More Tales of Mystery and Imagination."
Woolfson's daughter Sally Woolfson, managing director of Woolfsongs Ltd., said the composer had written "Poe" specifically with the U.S. market in mind.
The CD and DVD will be released through Limelight Records April 6, in the hopes that it will help reps for Woolfson's family attract producers to the project.

A Florida man has been arrested after deputies say a neighbor found a cell phone memory card containing child porn images in his trash.
Twenty-two-year-old Michael Allen Wright of Lakeland has been charged with 15 counts of possession of child pornography.
Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies say several bags of Wright's belongings were discarded in front of a residence on Nov. 25.
A neighbor asked the homeowner if she could collect the items and was granted permission.
A day later, deputies say Wright asked for his belongings back. Most were returned.
On Nov. 30, investigators say the neighbor discovered a broken cell phone in one of the bags she had forgotten to return. She placed the phone's memory card in her own phone and discovered the images.

James Gadsden
33 cents an acre. Now that's a good deal!
The Gadsden Purchase was one of the most curious real estate deals in which Uncle Sam has ever taken part. James Gadsden (1788-1858), whose name the purchase bears, was a grandson of Christopher Gadsden (1724-1805), a South Carolina Revolutionary soldier and statesman who was captured by the British at Charleston and confined as a prisoner for ten months at St. Augustine. James Gadsden soldiered for several years under General Andrew Jackson and it was he who seized the papers that led to the trial and execution of Robert C. Ambister and Alexander Arbuthnot in Florida in 1818, an incident that strained British-American diplomatic relations almost to the breaking point. Gadsden was appointed by President Monroe as the commissioner in charge of placing the Seminole Indians on reservations.
While living as a painter in Florida, he championed nullification and lost the patronage of President Jackson. He had long been interested in promoting railroads and upon his return to South Carolina in 1839 was chosen president of the South Carolina Railroad Company. His pet dream was to knit all Southern railroads into one system and then to connect it with a Southern transcontinental railroad to the Pacific, to make the West commercially dependent on the South instead of the North. After engineers advised Gadsden that the most direct and practicable route for the Southern transcontinental railroad would be south of the United States boundary, he made plans to have the Federal Government acquire title to the necessary territory from Mexico.
President Franklin Pierce
Through his friend and fellow empire dreamer, Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. Gadsden was appointed U.S. Minister to Mexico by President Franklin Pierce with instructions of his own design to buy from Mexico enough territory for a railroad to the Gulf of California. It was a perfect setup. By the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, signed February 2, 1848, at the close of the Mexican War, the Republic of Mexico was compelled to abandon its claim to Texas and to cede to the United States the territory now comprising most of New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. The territory ceded to the United States by Mexico constituted about 200,000 square miles or two-fifths of all her territory. In return for this vast territory, the United States gave $15,000,000 and assumed responsibility for paying $3,000,000 in claims of American citizens against the Mexican Government. A large body of public opinion in the United States had opposed the war against Mexico and felt that the Southern republic had been treated badly. The territory desired by Gadsden and his group was then a sort of no man's land, experiencing frequent Indian raids. The United States wanted to make certain "boundary adjustments"; Mexico needed money and wanted a settlement of her Indian claims against the United States; and Gadsden and his friends wanted a route for their railroad. In 1852 Gadsden agreed to pay Santa Anna $10,000,000 for a strip of territory south of the Gila River and lying in what is now southwestern New Mexico and southern Arizona. Many Americans were not especially proud of the Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty and considered the price of the Gadsden Purchase as "conscience money." The Gadsden Purchase has an area of 45,535 square miles and is almost as large as Pennsylvania.
This tract of nearly 30,000,000 acres cost Uncle Sam about thirty-three cents an acre.
The deal was so unpopular in Mexico that Santa Anna was unseated as dictator and banished. Gadsden was recalled as Minister to Mexico for mixing in Mexican politics and domestic affairs and did not live to see the Southern Pacific Railroad built through his purchase. When the inhabitants of Arizona asked Congress for a Territorial government in 1854, one of the names suggested for the new Territory was Gadsonia, a Latin adaptation of the surname of James Gadsden.
How different would the US be today without the Gadsden Purchase? The largest city in the area, Tucson, Arizona would be a part of Mexico. That means the University of Arizona would not exist. Kentucky would have won the 1997 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship instead of Arizona.
American soldier and diplomat, was born at Charleston, S.C., on the 15th of May 1788, the grandson of Christophei- Gadsden. He graduated at Yale in 1806, became a merchant in his native city, and in the war of 1812 served in the regular U.S. Army as a lieutenant of engineers. In 1818 he served against the Seminoles, with the rank of captain, as aide on the staff of Gen. Andrew Jackson. In October 1820 he became inspector-general of the Southern Division, with the rank of colonel, and as such assisted in the occupation and the establishment of posts in Florida after its acquisition. From August 1821 to March 1822 he was adjutant-general, but, his appointment not being confirmed by the Senate, he left the army and became a planter in Florida. He served in the Territorial legislature, and as Federal commissioner superintended in 1823 the removal of the Seminole Indians to South Florida.
In 1832 he negotiated with the Seminoles a treaty which provided for their removal within three years to lands in what is now the state of Oklahoma; but the Seminoles refused to move, hostilities again broke out, and in the second Seminole War Gadsden was quartermaster-general of the Florida Volunteers from February to April 1836. Returning to South Carolina he became a rice planter, and was president of the South Carolina railway.
In 1853 President Franklin Pierce appointed him minister to Mexico, with which country he negotiated the so-called Gadsden treaty (signed the 30th of December 1853), which gave to the United States freedom of transit for mails, merchandise and troops across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and provided for a readjustment of the boundary established by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States acquiring 45,535 sq. m. of land, since known as the Gadsden Purchase, in what is now New Mexico and Arizona. In addition, Article XI. of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which bound the United States to prevent incursions of Indians from the United States into Mexico, and to restore Mexican prisoners captured by such Indians, was abrogated) and for these considerations the United States paid to Mexico the sum of $10,000,000. Ratifications of the treaty, slightly modified by the Senate, were exchanged on the 30th of June 1854; before this, however, Gadsden had retired from his post. The boundary line between Mexico and the Gadsden Purchase was marked by joint commissions appointed in 1855 and 1891, the second commission publishing its report in 1899. Gadsden died at Charleston, South Carolina, on the 25th of December 1858.

The Actual Treaty
WHEREAS a treaty between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic was concluded and signed at the City of Mexico on the thirtieth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three; which treaty, as amended by the Senate of the United States, and being in the English and Spanish languages, is word for word as follows:
The Republic of Mexico and the United States of America desiring to remove every cause of disagreement which might interfere in any manner with the better friendship and intercourse between the two countries, and especially in respect to the true limits which should be established, when, notwithstanding what was covenanted in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in the year 1848, opposite interpretations have been urged, which might give occasion to questions of serious moment: to avoid these, and to strengthen and more firmly maintain the peace which happily prevails between the two republics, the President of the United States has, for this purpose, appointed James Gadsden, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the same, near the Mexican government, and the President of Mexico has appointed as Plenipotentiary "ad hoc" his excellency Don Manuel Diez de Bonilla, cavalier grand cross of the national and distinguished order of Guadalupe, and Secretary of State, and of the office of Foreign Relations, and Don Jose Salazar Ylarregui and General Mariano Monterde as scientific commissioners, invested with full powers for this negotiation, who, having communicated their respective full powers, and finding them in due and proper form, have agreed upon the articles following:
The Mexican Republic agrees to designate the following as her true limits with the United States for the future: retaining the same dividing line between the two Californias as already defined and established, according to the 5th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the limits between the two republics shall be as follows: Beginning in the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land, opposite the mouth of the Rio Grande, as provided in the 5th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; thence, as defined in the said article, up the middle of that river to the point where the parallel of 31� 47' north latitude crosses the same; thence due west one hundred miles; thence south to the parallel of 31� 20' north latitude; thence along the said parallel of 31� 20' to the 111th meridian of longitude west of Greenwich; thence in a straight line to a point on the Colorado River twenty English miles below the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers; thence up the middle of the said river Colorado until it intersects the present line between the United States and Mexico.
For the performance of this portion of the treaty, each of the two governments shall nominate one commissioner, to the end that, by common consent the two thus nominated, having met in the city of Paso del Norte, three months after the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, may proceed to survey and mark out upon the land the dividing line stipulated by this article, where it shall not have already been surveyed and established by the mixed commission, according to the treaty of Guadalupe, keeping a journal and making proper plans of their operations. For this purpose, if they should judge it necessary, the contracting parties shall be at liberty each to unite to its respective commissioner, scientific or other assistants, such as astronomers and surveyors, whose concurrence shall not be considered necessary for the settlement and of a true line of division between the two Republics; that line shall be alone established upon which the commissioners may fix, their consent in this particular being considered decisive and an integral part of this treaty, without necessity of ulterior ratification or approval, and without room for interpretation of any kind by either of the parties contracting.
The dividing line thus established shall, in all time, be faithfully respected by the two governments, without any variation therein, unless of the express and free consent of the two, given in conformity to the principles of the law of nations, and in accordance with the constitution of each country respectively.
In consequence, the stipulation in the 5th article of the treaty of Guadalupe upon the boundary line therein described is no longer of any force, wherein it may conflict with that here established, the said line being considered annulled and abolished wherever it may not coincide with the present, and in the same manner remaining in full force where in accordance with the same.
The government of Mexico hereby releases the United States from all liability on account of the obligations contained in the eleventh article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; and the said article and the thirty-third article of the treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United States of America and the United Mexican States concluded at Mexico, on the fifth day of April, 1831, are hereby abrogated.
In consideration of the foregoing stipulations, the Government of the United States agrees to pay to the government of Mexico, in the city of New York, the sum of ten millions of dollars, of which seven millions shall be paid immediately upon the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, and the remaining three millions as soon as the boundary line shall be surveyed, marked, and established.
The provisions of the 6th and 7th articles of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo having been rendered nugatory, for the most part, by the cession of territory granted in the first article of this treaty, the said articles are hereby abrogated and annulled, and the provisions as herein expressed substituted therefor. The vessels, and citizens of the United States shall, in all time, have free and uninterrupted passage through the Gulf of California, to and from their possessions situated north of the boundary line of the two countries. It being understood that this passage is to be by navigating the Gulf of California and the river Colorado, and not by land, without the express consent of the Mexican government; and precisely the same provisions, stipulations, and restrictions, in all respects, are hereby agreed upon and adopted, and shall be scrupulously observed and enforced by the two contracting governments in reference to the Rio Colorado, so far and for such distance as the middle of that river is made their common boundary line by the first article of this treaty.
The several provisions, stipulations, and restrictions contained in the 7th article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo shall remain in force only so far as regards the Rio Bravo del Forte, below the initial of the said boundary provided in the first article of this treaty; that is to say, below the intersection of the 31� 47'30'/ parallel of latitude, with the boundary line established by the late treaty dividing said river from its mouth upwards, according to the fifth article of the treaty of Guadalupe.
All the provisions of the eighth and ninth, sixteenth and seventeenth articles of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, shall apply to the territory ceded by the Mexican Republic in the first article of the present treaty, and to all the rights of persons and property, both civil and ecclesiastical, within the same, as fully and as effectually as if the said articles were herein again recited and set forth.
No grants of land within the territory ceded by the first article of this treaty bearing date subsequent to the day-twenty-fifth of September-when the minister and subscriber to this treaty on the part of the United States, proposed to the Government of Mexico to terminate the question of boundary, will be considered valid or be recognized by the United States, or will any grants made previously be respected or be considered as obligatory which have not been located and duly recorded in the archives of Mexico.
Should there at any future period (which God forbid) occur any disagreement between the two nations which might lead to a rupture of their relations and reciprocal peace, they bind themselves in like manner to procure by every possible method the adjustment of every difference; and should they still in this manner not succeed, never will they proceed to a declaration of war, without having previously paid attention to what has been set forth in article twenty-one of the treaty of Guadalupe for similar cases; which article, as well as the twenty-second is here reaffirmed.
The Mexican Government having on the 5th of February, 1853, authorized the early construction of a plank and railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and, to secure the stable benefits of said transit way to the persons and merchandise of the citizens of Mexico and the United States, it is stipulated that neither government will interpose any obstacle to the transit of persons and merchandise of both nations; and at no time shall higher charges be made on the transit of persons and property of citizens of the United States, than may be made on the persons and property of other foreign nations, nor shall any interest in said transit way, nor in the proceeds thereof, be transferred to any foreign government.
The United States, by its agents, shall have the right to transport across the isthmus, in closed bags, the mails of the United States not intended for distribution along the line of communication; also the effects of the United States government and its citizens, which may be intended for transit, and not for distribution on the isthmus, free of custom-house or other charges by the Mexican government.

Majorca: The West Coast Mountains
The west coast of Majorca is one of the attractions on the island. There are mountains located directly along the sea, picturesque villages, thousands of years old olive trees and a fascinating landscape that will overwhelm you. Port d´Andratx is a meeting point of Yacht owners where you will find nice houses on the hill and luxury yachts in the harbor. Continuing to Sant Elm you see the islands of La Dragonera and Illa Pantaleu just in front of the small beach of the village. Look at the NOVASOL holiday homes in the portfolio and find your holiday home. Going up towards the north of the island you will pass by Estellenchs and Port d´es Canonge to get to Valldemosa. Valldemosa is a town in the mountains and it is a must-visit while you are in Majorca: Frédéric Chopin lived here during the winter in 1838 in a monastery. Today you can visit his small chamber with a view over the garden and mountains. His piano is also in this chamber. The whole monastery itself is also worth the visit. Crossing the hill you can go to Deia, a place with lovely houses, nestled against the hills, guarded by big palm trees. Soller is a town situated in a valley; the so called "Valley of Oranges". The church St. Batolomeu dominates the skyline from far and is worth a visit. Another special attraction of Soller is the rails that you will see on the streets. On these there is a train that departs from Palma, built in 1927, and passes through numerous tunnels before arriving at the main station. To get to the harbor "Porto Soller" you have to take this nostalgic train. It passes just along the beach. Watch the sun set in Banyalbufar, the village with many terrace gardens, built by Arabs long ago. Book your NOVASOL holiday villa on Majorca today and get to experience this exciting Spanish island.

Beyonce bares midriff for Kanye's party
Those once-persistent pregnancy rumors are slowly losing urgency as Beyoncé quietly does her best to show that she's not expecting her second child.
First came a photo on her Tumblr account that showed the star sipping a glass of wine while sitting in husband Jay-Z's lap at an eatery.
And then on Saturday, the 31-year-old stepped out in New York to help Kanye West ring in his 36th year while wearing a crop top and pencil skirt that would do a rather poor job of concealing a baby bump.
Bey's team has already denied that she's presently awaiting a sibling for her year-old daughter Blue Ivy, and the singer joked with "Today's" Savannah Guthrie earlier this month that she didn't even know what rumors the morning show anchor was referring to.
"What kind of rumor?" the star replied to Guthrie's inquiry. "What? Huh? I don't know what you're talking about."

The majority of mass-affluent Americans not only plan to retire later than they had intended just a year ago, they are also more beset with worries about such major expenses as health care, college, and whether they will have enough money to last through retirement when they finally get there. So says the latest Merrill Edge Report.
The report, released by Bank of America on Thursday, focused on the financial worries and plans of the mass affluent—those with $50,000 to $250,000 in investable assets. Mass affluents may, at 28 million households, be the fastest-growing segment of the economy, according to Dean Athanasia, preferred and small business executive at Bank of America. But even with $9 trillion in assets, they aren't happy campers.
"While the economy is showing signs of a turnaround, our data indicates the outlook among the mass affluent is not quite as positive," he said, adding, "In spite of their increased efforts to get on track, this group is pushing back their retirement in greater numbers than we've seen before."
More than half—57%—are postponing retirement; that's up 36% from January of 2011. Thirty-four percent have resorted to using funds from their long-term savings or retirement money to handle short-term expenses, and 70% have resorted to do-it-yourself projects in the past year to save money, where in better times they would simply have hired someone to do the work.
Alok Prasad, Merrill Lynch executive, said that two factors bringing unexpected costs for the mass affluent are paying for their children's weddings and dealing with the expense of having an adult child come home to live with them. "Both," he said, "impact long-term retirement plans."
Prasad pointed out that mass-affluent clients are far more concerned with meeting goals than they are with achieving returns. Even if they are, as Athanasia said, "being forced into catch-up mode," they are determined to put their children through college and achieve other objectives—although many of their retirement objectives may have changed.
Where in the November 2011 report the most popular objective for retirement was relaxing more, at 84%, and travel was at the bottom of the list, at 74%, now that has changed, with travel now at the top (63%) and relaxing fallen into second place at 59%.
If the mass affluent are unhappy, the Gen Y members of the group in particular are more beset by financial worries than their older counterparts, according to the report. While they are jumping on technology to help them save and boost assets, 93% are concerned that their assets will not last through retirement; Gen Yers also do not expect saving to get any easier over the next five years.
According to the report, Gen Y approaches saving and investing in a substantially different way than older people, being more focused on budgeting (93%) than older people (85%) and paying down debt (85% compared with 67%) but being more willing to sacrifice long-term goals to pay for short-term expenses (41%) and less willing to cut back on entertainment and personal luxuries (57%) or keep the same car longer (48%).

Giving up cigarettes has benefits even if it happens later in life.
That's one of the findings of a meta-analysis of 17 studies that looked at the risk of all-cause mortality in smokers 60 or older, according to Hermann Brenner, MD, and colleagues at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany.
Regardless of age, the risk of dying in a given time frame from any cause is sharply increased in smokers compared with people who have never smoked, they reported in the June 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
But the increased risk decreases in people who quit, and that benefit is still present even after age 80, the researchers found.
Action Points
- Note that this meta-analysis included 17 cohort studies on smoking and all-cause mortality and focused on people 60 years old and older.
- Note that the study revealed a risk reduction of 28% associated with cessation and that the benefits of smoking cessation were evident in all age groups, including participants 80 years and older.
A host of studies have found that the risk of all-cause mortality is higher in smokers but most have focused on people in middle age, and it has not been clear if there is any attenuation of risk as a person grows older, Brenner and colleagues noted.
Indeed, commented Tai Hing Lam, MD, of the University of Hong Kong in Pokfulam, Hong Kong, the studies have shown that the absolute risk is that smoking will kill one of every two smokers.
The key finding of the study by Brenner and colleagues, Lam argued in an accompanying comment article, is that the risks of smoking remain high even into old age, and the benefits of quitting are also high.
In 17 cohort studies that included men and women 60 and older, Brenner and colleagues found that point estimates of relative mortality for smokers compared with never smokers ranged from 1.3 to 3.4 for men and 1.2 to 2.5 for women.
A meta-analysis of the studies found the relative mortality compared with never smokers was 1.83 (95% CI from 1.65 to 2.03) over all ages and both sexes, they reported.
The relative mortality fell slightly with age but remained substantial -- 1.94 for ages 60 through 69, 1.86 for ages 70 through 79, and 1.66 for 80 and older.
The decline with age is likely due to a "depletion of susceptibles" effect, in which smokers most likely to die of the habit have already done so, the researchers suggested.
Brenner and colleagues found a similar pattern in former smokers. Over all, the relative mortality compared with never smokers was 1.34, but it was 1.54 among people ages 60 through 69, 1.36 among those ages 70 through 79, and 1.27 in those 80 or older.
The difference between the relative mortality rates for former and current smokers amounted to a risk reduction of 28% for those who quit.
And a similar calculation for the different age groups suggested that even at 80 or older, those who quit have a 24% reduction in the risk of death compared with current smokers of that age.
The analysis had some limitations including the fact that the involved studies had varying follow-up periods and age ranges. Also, the age ranges did not always match the age ranges chosen for the age-specific meta-analyses.
But the findings emphasize the need for effective public health messages, Lam said. For public health information and education, the great death risk of 1 in 2 to 2 in 3 should be highlighted consistently and widely," he wrote.
But for many older smokers, that message is not getting through, Lam argued.
"Many older smokers misbelieve that they are too old to quit or too old to benefit from quitting," Lam said. "A simple, direct, strong, and evidence-based warning is needed."
For physicians, the message is also clear, Lam concluded: "If you have helped two smokers quit, you have saved (at least) one life."
The study was conducted in the context of the CHANCES project funded in the FP7 Framework Programme of DGRESEARCH in the European Commission. The journal said the authors did not report any conflicts of interest.
The journal said the comment author did not report any conflicts of interest.

Why spend $99 on OnLive's Microconsole TV adapter when you can buy an inexpensive Blu-ray player with the streaming game service built right in? OnLive teams up with bargain electronics manufacturer VIZIO to bring streaming games to the masses.
Today's televisions and Blu-ray players are shipping with a ton of internet services built into their guts. I recently purchased a VIZIO Blu-ray device for my bedroom solely for the purpose of streaming Netflix to the VIZIO television I've got set up in there. It also came with Pandora Internet Radio, VUDU streaming HD movies, and the ability to connect to Facebook.
If only I had waited a few months, I would have gotten OnLive as well.
The partnership between VIZIO and OnLive will see the streaming game service integrated into both VIA Blu-ray players and the new VIA Plus television sets. Since OnLive streams games from its own servers and doesn't require any special hardware tweaks on the user's end, VIZIO customers will be able to enjoy years of quality gaming content, until their cheap electronics die.
This is a smart move, though it might keep customers from purchasing the OnLive Microconsole television adapter in favor of holding out for a Blu-ray player or new television. That's why there's a 33 percent off sale going on at OnLive's website now through the end of CES. That's $66, or slightly less than a VIZIO Blu-ray player will cost in six months.
OnLive will be showing off VIZIO televisions with built-in OnLive at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this weekend.

Loyola at a Glance Faculty/Staff Newsletter
Louisiana's incoming and first African-American chief justice headlines race in higher education symposium
October 26, 2012
|The Honorable Bernette Johnson, current associate justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court and future Chief Justice, will give keynote presentation Nov. 9.
The Honorable Bernette Johnson, current associate justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court and future Chief Justice next year, will deliver the keynote address for a Nov. 9 symposium on race in higher education hosted by the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law and the Journal of Public Interest Law.
"Narratives of Equality - Reflections on Equal Protection and Diversity"takes place at the College of Law, Room 308 from 12:30-6:15 p.m. The program is free and open to the public and is part of Loyola Week's Centennial celebrations. Law students may earn skills credit for attendance.
The symposium will explore issues involving equal protection and in particular, issues of diversity. The first panel will explore litigation involving equal protection and Louisiana's crimes against nature by solicitation statute. The keynote address and other panels will explore the role of diversity and race conscious admissions in legal education. College of Law alumni, professors and students will explore "Narratives of Diversity from the Past-Present-Future."
In the 2003 case Grutter v. Bollinger, the Supreme Court approved consideration of an applicant's race as one of many factors that universities and law schools could consider in deciding whether to admit the applicant. This year, the Supreme Court will consider again the constitutionality of the use of race in admissions in the case of Fisher v. University of Texas. In 2008, Abigail Fisher filed suit against the University of Texas alleging that UT's use of race in its admission policies was unconstitutional. The United State Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that UT's admissions policy was constitutional under Grutter. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case earlier in October. If the Supreme Court overrules the Grutter case, it could result in an end to any consideration of race in student admissions in affirmative action policies at U.S. public universities.
M. Isabel Medina, J.D., the Ferris Family Distinguished Professor of Law at Loyola and one of the day's moderators, says that the Supreme Court has fairly consistently stated that standards applicable to public institutions under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendment, also apply to private institutions under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
"Private institutions like our own are likely to be impacted by whatever ruling the Supreme Court issues in the Fisher case. The symposium will explore issues of diversity through the prism of personal narratives by law alumni, law students and law professors," Medina said.
