the most intense and rigid Calvinism. Not only are the doctrines of the Trinity and Satisfaction taught in the most express terms, and in the form which has been repudiated as offensive, unscriptural, and untrue, by many eminent divines, who are yet usually esteemed orthodox,—but the doctrines of the absolute and unconditional predestination of particular individuals to eternal life and to eternal misery, —that of the imputation of the guilt of Adam and Eve to all their posterity,--that of the transmission to all mankind of a corrupt nature, defiled in all the parts and faculties both of soul and body,—that of the subjection of the human race, through and on account of the original sin of Adam, to all miseries, spiritual, temporal, and eternal,--that of the entire damnation of the Jewish, Mahommedan, and heathen world without exception,—that of the impossibility of salvation of infants dying in infancy, but not elected unto life,—that of the sinfulness even of good works if done by unregenerate men, while their omission is yet more sinful and displeasing unto God,—that of the duty of persecuting the adherents of tenets, which are judged to be erroneous, by the power of the civil magistrate, &c. together with many similar and kindred opinions, are taught in these works. No Unitarian, therefore, of any shade or grade ; no Arminian, no sublapsarian ; no man, of whatever doctrinal views, who respects the rights of conscience in his fellow-creatures, or is attached to the principles of toleration,—can possibly subscribe these documents, or profess belief in their contents, without the grossest inconsistency, falsehood, and hypocrisy. On this point, the Rev. Dr. Cooke may be regarded as a competent witness. Speaking on oath, of a person subscribing the Westminster Confession, he says,—" It is impossible he could be anything but a Calvinist : it is, beyond all question, the most strict of all confessions that have been written."-Fourth Report from Commissioners of Education Inquiry, Appendix, (p. 147).
The rules prescribed in the " Constitution and Discipline of the Presbyterian Church," requiring adherence to the doctrines of the Westminster divines on the part of all ministers of the gospel in connexion with the Assembly, are extremely rigorous. At every step of his progress, the candidate for the ministry is obliged to profess his agreement with the Confession and Catechisms, else he cannot possibly be admitted to the office to which he aspires.
It is provided, that students designed for the ministry shall be examined by a committee, entitled the Theological Examination Committee, "previously to entering a theological class, and again, before receiving license to preach."-P. 23, par. 21, 22.
" This Committee shall examine them respecting their personal religion, their knowledge of the Scriptures, especially on their views of the doctrines of the Trinity, original sin, justification by faith, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit ; and likewise as to their motives for offering themselves as candidates
for the ministerial office ; and should any examinant be found opposed to the doctrines contained in the standards of this church, or appear to be destitute of vital godliness, he shall in no case be recognised as a candidate for the ministry."—P. 24, par. 23.
After having twice passed through this ordeal, the candidate must next present himself to the Presbytery to which he belongs, for trials and license. Previously to licensing any candidate to preach the gospel, the Presbytery is required to put to him the following, among other questions :
" Do you believe the Westminster Confession of Faith, as received and approved by the Church of Scotland in their Act of 1647, prefixed to the Confession, to be founded on and agreeable to the Word of God, and, as such, do you acknowledge it as the confession of your faith ?
"Do you approve of the Catechisms compiled by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, and received as the Catechisms of this Church?
" Are you resolved through divine grace, firmly and constantly to adhere to the doctrine contained in the said Confession and Catechisms, and to teach and defend it to the utmost of your power, against all errors ?
" The candidate having answered these questions in the affirmative, shall be required to subscribe the following formula, and none other :
" • I believe the Westminster Confession of Faith to be founded on, and agreeable to, the Word, and as such I subscribe it as the confession of my faith.'
" Should any candidate be licensed in violation of these rules, his license shall be withdrawn, and the Presbytery so licensing shall be subject to censure."-Pp. 26, 27, 28.
It is unnecessary to remind our readers that, in the General Assembly, licentiates are the only persons, not previously ministers of congregations, who can be chosen as pastors in any congregations which may become vacant ; so that the choice of the people is strictly limited to men who have once actually, and three times virtually, professed their belief in these standards of doctrine. But all this is not held to be sufficient ; for when a congregation has made choice of a candidate as its future minister, and the Presbytery are come together for the purpose of ordaining him, it is enacted, that before this ceremony can be performed,
" The Candidate shall affix his signature to the Assembly's Formula of Subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith, in the Presbytery book."--P. 34.
And the same questions which are above set forth from the form of procedure at license, are again to be proposed to the candidate, word for word ; and all of them are required to be "satisfactorily answered," before the ordination can take place. Pp. 34, 35.
In the case of a minister who has been ordained in one congregation, removing to another, it is provided that "the same questions shall be put to the person to be installed as to one about to be ordained (p. 36); being the fifth time of his making the same solemn declaration,
In order to prevent any deviation in after life, from the doctrines thus repeatedly avowed in early manhood, it is enacted, that every Presbytery shall hold two visitations of the churches under its care in each year (p. 40). On these occasions, deputies appointed by the elders of the congregation, shall be publicly asked in the presence of the people.
"Does he (i. e, the minister) preach the doctrines of the Westminster Confession of Faith, especially those of the Trinity—the fall of man-his recovery through the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ-justification by faith in the righteousness of the Saviour—the Deity, personality, and work of the Holy Ghost—the sovereignty of divine grace-the necessity of faith and repentance wrought in us by God's spirit; and as an evidence of a work of grace, the necessity of a life of practical godliness?"-P. 41.
After having passed through this long and wearisome pilgrimage of examinations, questions, and subscriptions, and of repeated visitations and inquisitions, the man of God at length is permitted to die without renewing his subscription; and if he have been one worthy of his sacred calling, he sleeps, we trust, in Jesus, to hear no more of the Westminster Confession.
We now pass to the laws relating to the elders, of whom there are usually from six to twelve in each congregation—sometimes even more. The more aged and personally respectable members ought to be chosen for this office; so that it is one of very considerable dignity, betokening the regard and esteem of his fellow-Christians for the individual on whom it is conferred. The rules for the election and ordination of the elders, are set forth in the third chapter of the Constitution and Discipline; and it is there required, that the person elected to the office shall be called on to answer certain questions, among which are two, which are verbatim the same with the first two of those already quoted from the procedure at license to preach the gospel. "Do you believe the Westminster Confession of Faith as received and approved?" &c. &c. "Do you approve of the catechisms compiled by the Assembly of Divines?" &c. &c.-P. 13.
Thus neither minister nor elder of the General Assembly, if he be a man of truth, can be anything else than a believer in all the doctrines of the Calvinistic theology set forth in the formularios drawn up by the Westminster Assembly of divines; but here it is commonly thought that the enforcement of those doctrines ends. No mistake, however, is more casy of correction. The fact is, that the same system of doctrine is uniformly and consistently required to be professed, held, and believed, not only by ministers, but by every man woman, and child, claiming Christian ordinances, or the exercise of Christian privileges, in the congregations connected with that body. Such, at least, is the law of the church; and if the law be laid aside, -as we believe it sometimes is, by those whose duty it is to carry it into effeot,—the inconsistency of their continuing in a church, whose rules they systematically disobey, must be apparent to every mind.
To begin with baptism. Before administering this ordinance, the pastor is required by the Directory (p. 77), to put to the parent nine questions, relating to his religious belief; some of which relate to points that are not controverted among Christians; but others, including the two following, introduce and require profession of belief in some of the most doubtful opinions, to say the very least, that have ever been devised by the perverse ingenuity of men, anxious to be " wise above that which is written."
"Do you believe that there is one Jehovah, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of the world ; and that there are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and that these three are One God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory?"
"Do you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ offered himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and reconcile us unto God; that he died for our sins and rose for our justification; and that he makes continual intercession for us?"—P. 77.
At the end of the questions a note is added:
"These doctrines are continued in the Scriptures at large (!) and are exhibited in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms,—the recognised Standards of the Church."—P. 78.
And to prevent any possibility of the ministers slurring over, or omitting any of these questions, in deference to the known heterodoxy of particular persons, whom he might be unwilling to offend, it is enacted, that, all baptisms "shall be administered in the presence of the congregation, after discourse on the Lord's day, except in case of necessity and with the concurrence of the eldership," (p. 76). Nor is this enough, for at each visitation by the Presbytery, the people are to be publicly asked, " Is baptism administered according to the regulations of the Assembly? Are the children of parents, holding unscriptural ciews, baptized?"—(p. 43).
Thus, the infant's first admission into the church is to be accompanied by a profession of its parents' belief in the doctrines of the Westminster divines. As it advances in life, it is in due time to be brought to the minister to be catechised (p. 84), and it is declared that "the Westminster Catechisms are the only models for catechising, authorized by the General Assembly.'
And when, in process of time, the young Christian seeks for the privilege of commemorating the death of Christ with the church, it is provided (p. 78) that the "ignorant, the unbaptized, and scandalous, are not to be admitted " to communion, that
persons communicating for the first time are to be examined, instructed, and approved, before they be admitted, and that "the minister is, in the name of Christ, to warn the ignorant, the heretical, the scandalous,
...... not to approach the table of the Lord," (p. 79). And lest he should prove unfaithful, or remiss in the discharge of this duty, the representatives of the elders are at each visitation to be asked by the Presbytery,—" How often is the Lord's Supper administered during the year, and are the scandalous and profane, the ignorant and erroneous, excluded from the fellowship of the church ?" (p. 41). In these regulations, it is but common candour to believe that the terms " heretical " and "erroneous are used to designate persons who deviate from the doctrines set forth in the Confession and Catechisms, which are in the same work, entitled, - " The Standards of the Church." To explain them otherwise would be unfair and unjust; it would be to impute fraud and imposition to its authors and publishers ;—and this interpretation is rendered still more clear and certain by an enactment found in the 5th section of the Constitution and Discipline ; in which it is declared (p. 16), that " to the Eldership in Session belongs the right of judging of the admission to Church privileges ;" and that "the Eldership shall admit to sealing ordinances, those persons only who are under their superintendence, whose views of the doctrines of grace are in accordance with the standards of the General Assembly, and whose personal character is becoming the Gospel of Christ."—(16.)
To the communicants—that is, to the persons thus tested, amined and approved "-and who have been ascertained to be neither "heretical nor erroneous," but whose views, on the contrary, are found to be "in accordance with the standards of the General Assembly," or, in other words, with the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms-is confined the privilege of having their names entered on the Register of Voters in the Congregation (p. 29), and of voting at any poll, respecting the hearing of a candidate for the ministry (p. 30); respecting a call to a minister (p. 30, infra); respecting the election of a precentor (p. 17); respecting the choice of an elder (p. 13); and generally in any congregational question, not purely and exclusively secular.
Thus are the members of the Presbyterian Church in connexion with the Irish General Assembly, tied hand and foot, with this oppressive and galling chain. Neither minister, elder, nor private member, can make a single step in advance, beyond the narrow limits fixed by an Assembly of divines held two centuries ago. If they dare venture an inch outside of the prescribed enclosure, they violate the law which their Church has enacted, which it has solemnly set forth to the world in its recognised Book of Discipline, which it has ratified by express compact, and for the observance of which it has plighted its troth, before God and man. No function can be exercised, no ordinance can be observed, no privilege can be enjoyed, in that body, except on the implied or express declaration of complete agreement


In this quirky road movie about two bickering brothers traveling to Los Angeles, various encounters with local flora, fauna, and inevitable oddballs contribute to the tender, hilarious panorama of these men and their lives.
The setting of this quirky, comic road movie is the greater county of Los Angeles, from the city to the surrounding desert. Along for the ride are two estranged siblings: overbearing older brother Michael (Adam Scott), a failed novelist, and Tobey (Joel Bissonnette), an actor, whom Michael has reluctantly agreed to ferry to various destinations and errands. But it's Michael's birthday and this isn't exactly how he'd planned to celebrate. As events unfold, it becomes clear that the agenda of the trip isn't what it seemed and issues of trust resurface just when the brothers are forging a new bond. Various mysterious encounters with off-the-radar oddballs prove, in the film's final moments, to be tightly woven threads in the real, underlying story.

Police, Adjective follows a morally conflicted, undercover cop as he stakes out a young boy accused of selling drugs.
Winner of the Jury Prize (Un Certain Regard) and Critics Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the latest film from Porumboiu (12:08 East of Bucharest, PIFF 31) starts out with an absurdly comic police sting operation—one designed to catch a lone high school student in the act of selling drugs. Cristi, the cop assigned to the case, realizes the futility of the mission, but his attempts to convince his bureaucratic superiors are met with contempt, derision, and the reminder that it is not his place to question the letter of the law. But letters and laws are very much on Porumboiu's mind, as the observational style of the film's first part gives way to an exhilarating verbal joust between cop and police chief about conscience, personal morality, and the true meaning of the things one sees and how one chooses to describe them. "The truth of my character lies in the small things, in his daily routine and in a certain time of being and reacting."—Corneliu Porumboiu.

1 Yehovah spoke to Moshe in the Sinai Desert, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month of the second year after they had left the land of Egypt. He said, 2 "Take a census of the entire assembly of the people of Isra'el, by clans and families. Record the names of all the men 3 twenty years old and over who are subject to military service in Isra'el. You and Aharon are to enumerate them company by company.
16 These were the ones called from the assembly, the chiefs of their fathers' clans and heads of thousands in Isra'el. 17 So Moshe and Aharon took these men who had been designated by name; 18 and, on the first day of the second month, they gathered the whole assembly to state their genealogies by families and clans and recorded the names of all those twenty years old and over, as well as their total numbers. 19 Moshe counted them in the Sinai Desert, just as Yehovah had ordered him.
54 This is what the people of Isra'el did — they did everything that Yehovah had ordered Moshe.
2 (iii) Yehovah said to Moshe and Aharon, 2 "The people of Isra'el are to set up camp by clans, each man with his own banner and under his clan's symbol; they are to camp around the tent of meeting, but at a distance.
32 These are the ones counted from the people of Isra'el by clans; the total number recorded in the camps, company by company, was 603,550. 33 But, as Yehovah ordered Moshe, the L'vi'im were not counted with the rest of Isra'el.
34 The people of Isra'el did everything Yehovah had ordered Moshe: they set up camp under their banners, and they set out, each according to his family and clan.
3 (iv) These are the descendants of Aharon and Moshe as of the day when Yehovah spoke with Moshe on Mount Sinai. 2 The names of the sons of Aharon are: Nadav the firstborn, Avihu, El'azar and Itamar. 3 These were the names of the sons of Aharon the cohen, whom he anointed and ordained as cohanim. 4 But Nadav and Avihu died in the presence of Yehovah when they offered unauthorized fire before Yehovah in the Sinai Desert, and they had no children; El'azar and Itamar served as cohanim in the presence of Aharon their father.
(v) 14 Yehovah said to Moshe in the Sinai Desert, 15 "Take a census of the tribe of Levi by clans and families. Count every male a month old or over." 16 Moshe counted them in the manner Yehovah had said, as he had been ordered. 17 The names of the sons of Levi were Gershon, K'hat and M'rari. 18 The names of the sons of Gershon were Livni and Shim'i; they fathered their respective clans; 19 likewise the sons of K'hat — 'Amram,Yitz'har, Hevron and 'Uzi'el — 20 and the sons of M'rari — Machli and Mushi. These fathered the clans of the L'vi'im.
(vi) 40 Yehovah said to Moshe, "Register all the firstborn males of the people of Isra'el a month old and over, and determine how many there are. 41 Then you are to take the L'vi'im for me, Yehovah, in place of all the firstborn among the people of Isra'el, and the cattle of the L'vi'im in place of the firstborn of the cattle belonging to the people of Isra'el." 42 Moshe counted, as Yehovah had ordered him, all the firstborn among the people of Isra'el. 43 The total number of firstborn males registered, a month old and over, of those who were counted, was 22,273.
44 Yehovah said to Moshe, 45 "Take the L'vi'im in place of all the firstborn among the people of Isra'el, and the cattle of the L'vi'im in place of their cattle; the L'vi'im are to belong to me, Yehovah. 46 Since there were 273 more firstborn males from Isra'el than male L'vi'im, in order to redeem them, 47 you are to take five shekels [two ounces] for each of these (use the sanctuary shekel, which is equal to twenty gerahs). 48 Give the redemption money for these extra people to Aharon and his sons." 49 Moshe took the redemption money from those who were over and above those redeemed by the L'vi'im; 50 the amount of money he took from the firstborn of the people of Isra'el was 1,365 shekels, using the sanctuary shekel. 51 Moshe gave the redemption-money to Aharon and his sons, in keeping with what Yehovah had said, as Yehovah had ordered Moshe.
4 (vii) Yehovah said to Moshe and Aharon, 2 "Take a census of the descendants of K'hat, who are among the descendants of Levi, by clans and families, 3 all those from thirty to fifty years old; these will enter the corps doing the work in the tent of meeting.
2 (1:10) "Nevertheless, the people of Isra'el will number as many as the grains of sand by the sea, which cannot be measured or counted; so that the time will come when, instead of being told, 'You are not my people,' it will be said to them, 'You are the children of the living God.' 2 (1:11) Then the people of Y'hudah and the people of Isra'el will be gathered together; they will appoint for themselves one leader; and they will go up out of the land; for that will be a great day, [the day] of Yizre'el.
for she isn't my wife, and I'm not her husband.
and her adulteries from between her breasts.
and put up a hedge so she can't find her paths.
9 (7) She will pursue her lovers but not catch them.
She will seek them but won't find them.
which they used for Ba'al.
given to cover her naked body.
and no one will save her from me.
and all her designated times.
and wild animals will eat them.
pursuing her lovers and forgetting me," says Yehovah.
and I will speak to her heart.
and the Akhor Valley as a gateway to hope.
as she did when she came up from Egypt.
you will no longer call me Ba'ali [My Master].
they will never again be mentioned by name.
and the creeping things of the earth.
and make them lie down securely.
and you will know Yehovah.

Galveston, May 28. – Coast guardsmen searching for the bodies of two men and a woman believed drowned in San Luis Pass at the western end of Galveston Island had found no trace of them tonight.
Names of the trio, missing since a Sunday afternoon swimming party, were given as Mrs. Dean FORREST, 26, employe (sic) of a Houston insurance company; J. C. THOMPSON, 35, Houston oil man and F. H. ETHERIDGE, 40, oil man whose home address is unknown.
A fourth member of the party, whose name was given as Mrs. Sylvia EGGERT of Houston, remained on the beach when the others entered the water. She said that she saw a large wave sweep over her three companions and then never saw them again.
After they disappeared she notified San Luis Pass coast guard station and the search was started. Mrs. EGGERT returned to Houston this morning and notified relatives of Mrs. FORREST of her disappearance.
Big Spring, May 28. – F. H. ETHERIDGE, one of three persons believed to have been drowned yesterday in the gulf, was the son-in-law of Mrs. F. H. GARY of Big Spring. Mrs. GARY was informed of the accident and left at once for San Antonio to be with her daughter. ETHERIDGE is a San Antonio oil man.


The rain continued Thursday, making it difficult (and in some cases impossible) for rescuers to reach flood-stricken towns. In the video below, from CBS4 in Denver, rescue crews pull a man from a car that has been overturned near Lafayette, Colorado, where rock slides and flash flooding collapsed homes, put dams at risk, and forced hundreds of people to evacuate.
The University of Colorado-Boulder has evacuated more than 350 people from university housing and reports that 25 percent of the buildings on campus have sustained damage so far, according to the Weather Channel.
The flooding cut off almost all roads to Boulder, according to the Denver Post, and many roads in the city are impassable.
USA Today reports that officials expect more rain, and probably more flooding, over the weekend.
This story has been updated since publication.


Sunday morning, I arose bright and early to down a cup of coffee before grabbing the 9 AM bus to Jerusalem, where I was to tour the ALEH facility for special needs children, in conjunction with my work as an education writer at Kars4Kids. I sat down at my computer to do a quick surf of the news and saw that the Geneva agreement on Iran had been signed. This was not good news.
Facebook friends advised me to do something fun to take my mind off things. "Fun?" I said. "I'm going to tour ALEH. Not exactly my idea of fun," I said.
"Oh, you'll love it," said one friend.
"ALEH is amazing. Such an upbeat place," said another friend.
Upbeat? I shook my head. "What are they smoking?" I thought.
"Not even a little bit," said Sarah. "It's just not that way at all.
And she was right. When we walked through the entrance, there was a young man peeking out at me from the next room. He gave me a huge smile. He had charisma, that kid. I smiled back and waved.
We sat down with Dov Hirth of Marketing and Development, who pretty much runs the administrative show at ALEH. He is a very busy man. Eventually Shlomit Grayevsky, ALEH director, joined us. The two of them gave us the lowdown on ALEH, followed by a tour of the facility.
ALEH was founded 31 years ago by parents fed up with the paucity of options for kids with severe disabilities. The monasteries would care for these children. But this was not an option for Jewish Jerusalem.
Keeping a child at home was an option, but that meant one parent had to be home, effectively cutting the family income in half. Israel was simply behind the times. Not to mention that there was a strong stigma surrounding those with disabilities.
Worst of all, before the advent of ALEH Jerusalem, there was no place offering care for children with disabilities accompanied by a complex medical dynamic. These children were left behind in hospitals or in old age homes. It was expensive for the State, since hospital care runs several hundred shekels daily, and it was dreadful for the children.
You'd find 10-15 year-olds living in old age homes. They'd sit, hunched over in wheelchairs, for hours on end, with no one to lift them upright to prevent atrophy. Many suffered deterioration in their conditions as a result of such neglect.
In addition to providing care and therapy, ALEH has also worked hard at removing the stigma surrounding disabilities by bringing the children to the community instead of hiding them away from public view. Thirty ALEH kids, for example, participated in the last Jerusalem marathon and a special track was set up just for them.
There is the annual ALEH Bridge March, held at the Chords Bridge not far from the facility. Volunteers wheel all the children across the bridge followed by singing and dancing at the plaza below. Hundreds of balloons are released into the air. There are lots of smiles from participants and bystanders alike. These activities serve to educate society that people with disabilities have a rightful place in the community of man.
Holidays at ALEH are amazing. Musicians come around during candle lighting, to offer musical accompaniment. Athletes play street ball on behalf of the children who get to watch the game and interact with the players. ALEH even made a Mamilla Mall flash mob, even though it took extensive effort to obtain all the relevant permissions. The streets had to be closed off. All these efforts both expose the public to those with disabilities and eliminate the stigma.
Once upon a time it was difficult for ALEH to find volunteers. But today ALEH turns down 3-5 volunteer requests per week. Volunteers undergo a training program. Volunteering offers local youths as well as students from abroad a chance to meet children with disabilities, eye to eye.
The children of ALEH spend Shabbat weekends with "regular" families three times a year, doing everything typical families do on a typical Shabbat, albeit accompanied by caregivers and equipment. The kids even attend local Bnei Akiva youth group meets with the children of their host families.
Back at ALEH Jerusalem, family is important. Parents can come visit their children whenever they please, even if it's just to pop in and give a child a goodnight kiss. The facility is open to the children and their families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are support groups for parents, for siblings, and even for extended family members. There's a Parents Day with clowns and balloons.

Abe Fortas served as a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1965 to 1969. A renowned and powerful Washington, D.C., attorney before he joined the Court, Fortas resigned from the bench in disgrace after allegations of unethical behavior led to calls for his Impeachment.
Fortas was born June 19, 1910, in Memphis, to English immigrant Jews. He graduated from Southwestern College, in Memphis, in 1930 and received a law degree from Yale Law School in 1933. An outstanding student at Yale, Fortas became a protégé of william o. douglas, a member of the school's faculty and a future Supreme Court justice. Following graduation Fortas divided his time between Yale and Washington, D.C., serving as an assistant professor at the school and working in several federal government agencies.
Fortas's arrival in Washington, D.C., coincided with President franklin d. roosevelt's New Deal administration. Under Roosevelt the federal government greatly expanded as it assumed more regulatory power over the national economy. Fortas severed his connections with Yale in 1937 and went to work full-time for the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was chaired by Douglas.
Fortas proved to be an effective administrator. He joined the department of the interior in 1939 and soon became a confidant of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes. Ickes, a powerful member of the Roosevelt administration, named Fortas undersecretary in 1942. Fortas served in that position until 1946, when he left government to start a private law firm.
Fortas and Thurman W. Arnold, a former law professor and chief of the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department, created the firm of Arnold and Porter to help corporations and other powerful interest groups deal with the new federal bureaucracy. Fortas knew his way around the halls of power and became an influential lobbyist and interpreter of government regulations in post-World War II Washington, D.C.
His path to the Supreme Court began in 1948, when he led the legal team that fought to place Lyndon B. Johnson's name on the Texas election ballot for U.S. senator. Johnson, a Texas congressman in the 1940s, got to know Fortas while Fortas was at the Department of the Interior. The 1948 Texas Democratic primary election gave Johnson an 87-vote margin of victory, but his opponent, Coke R. Stevenson, alleged that Johnson's supporters had stuffed the ballot box with phony ballots. After Stevenson filed suit in federal court, a judge removed Johnson's name from the final election ballot, pending an investigation into the alleged election irregularities. Fortas convinced Justice hugo l. black of the Supreme Court to order the restoration of Johnson's name, pursuant to Black's judicial power to review the actions of the federal courts in Texas. Johnson was elected to the Senate and became majority leader in 1955. He was elected vice president of the United States in 1960 and became president on November 22, 1963, following the assassination of President john f. kennedy.
"For a justice of this ultimate tribunal [the U.S. Supreme Court], the opportunity for self-discovery and the occasion for self-revelation is great."
—Abe Fortas
Though Fortas served the powerful, he also provided Pro Bono (unpaid) legal services to those with pressing legal issues. His most famous pro bono case was gideon v. wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S. Ct. 792, 9 L. Ed. 2d 799 (1963). A Florida court had convicted Clarence Gideon, a drifter and small-time gambler, of breaking into a poolroom and removing the change from a vending machine. Gideon could not afford an attorney and the court would not appoint one. Gideon prepared his own appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that denial of legal counsel because a person could not afford an attorney was unconstitutional. The Court accepted his appeal and appointed Fortas to serve as his attorney.
Fortas convinced the Court to overrule its precedent in Betts v. Brady, 316 U.S. 455, 62 S. Ct. 1252, 86 L. Ed. 1595 (1942), in which the Court held that an ordinary person charged with a felony could do an adequate job of representing himself or herself and was not entitled to the appointment of an attorney. In his majority opinion for Gideon, Justice Black ruled that an indigent defendant in a criminal trial has a constitutional right to a court-appointed attorney. In so ruling, the Court incorporated through the Fourteenth Amendment the Sixth Amendment's Right to Counsel, thus making that right applicable to state as well as federal criminal proceedings.
When Johnson assumed the presidency, he looked to Fortas as a confidential adviser. Johnson wished to appoint Fortas to the Supreme Court, but there were no vacancies. He convinced Justice arthur j. goldberg to resign from the Court in 1965 to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Goldberg left the Court reluctantly, and Johnson nominated Fortas to fill its so-called Jewish seat. The "Jewish seat" began with the 1939 appointment of Felix Frankfurter, who was Jewish, to succeed Justice benjamin cardozo, also Jewish. It was assumed that for political reasons, Democratic presidents would appoint a Jewish person to that vacancy. This tradition ended with the appointment of Fortas.
Fortas fit in well with the liberal Court, then headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren. Concerned with policy more than precedent, Fortas was a strong defender of Civil Rights and civil liberties. His two most significant opinions dealt with the rights of children. The 1967 landmark case in re gault, 387 U.S. 1, 87 S. Ct. 1428, 18 L. Ed. 2d 527, changed the nature of the Juvenile Law system. Fortas and the Court essentially made the juvenile courts adhere to standards of due process, applying most of the procedural safeguards enjoyed by adults accused of crimes. Under Gault juvenile courts were to respect the right to counsel, the right to freedom from compulsory Self-Incrimination, and the right to confront hostile witnesses.
tinker v. des moines independent community school district, 393 U.S. 503, 89 S. Ct. 733, 21 L. Ed. 2d 731 (1969), accorded juveniles First Amendment rights. Des Moines high school officials had suspended students for wearing black armbands to school to protest U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. On appeal Fortas rejected the idea that the school's response was reasonable because it was based on the fear that a disturbance would result from the wearing of armbands. Fortas ruled that the wearing of armbands was "closely akin to 'pure speech' which … is entitled to comprehensive protection under the First Amendment." He added that public school officials could not ban expression out of the "mere desire to avoid discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint." In June 1968, Chief Justice Warren announced that he would retire. President Johnson nominated Fortas to succeed Warren, but the political mood of the Senate was hostile to the nomination. It had been an open secret in Washington, D.C., that Fortas continued to advise the president after joining the Court. Fortas was a key participant in Vietnam War policymaking. Some senators were troubled by his breach of the Separation of Powers; others, especially conservatives, attacked his liberal voting record on the Court. Republicans hoped to derail the nomination so as to give richardm. nixon, then running for the presidency, the opportunity to appoint a more conservative chief justice. Johnson, who had already announced he would not run for reelection, was a lame duck and could do nothing to help Fortas. Opponents conducted a filibuster when the appointment was brought to the Senate floor. In October, Fortas, sensing defeat, asked that his name be withdrawn from consideration. Warren remained on the Court until 1969, when President Nixon appointed warren e. burger as chief justice.
Matters worsened for Fortas, in 1969, when Life magazine reported that he had accepted a $20,000 fee from a foundation established by the family of Louis Wolfson, a financier under federal investigation for Securities violations. The fee was the first of a series of annual payments that were to be made to Fortas for the duration of his life, and thereafter to his widow until her death, in exchange for Fortas's guidance of the foundation's programs. The arrangement was terminated in 1966 when Fortas returned the money upon Wolfson's indictment.
Despite Fortas's ultimate return of the money, his initial acceptance of it troubled many senators. It was alleged that Fortas had done more than foundation work, giving Wolfson legal advice. The Life article noted that Wolfson had used Fortas's name in the hope of helping himself. Fortas issued an ambiguous statement that did not resolve the situation. The Nixon administration and Republican senators hinted that Fortas should be impeached for his actions, which were contrary to the ethical provision that judges must be free of the appearance of impropriety. Fortas ended the controversy by resigning from the Court May 14, 1969, though he contended he had done nothing wrong. This was the first time in U.S. history that a justice resigned under the threat of impeachment.
Following his resignation Fortas sought to return to his old law firm. When the firm refused to take him back, he set up his own law practice, Fortas and Koven. He resumed advising corporate clients on how to do business in Washington, D.C., and he continued his pro bono work.
Fortas continued to practice law until he died from a ruptured aorta on April 5, 1982, in Washington, D.C.

Demonstrators attend the first National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1979. Photo courtesy of D.C. Public Library Washington Star Photograph Collection
LGBTQ+ History Month, held in October, presents an important opportunity for individuals to honor milestones in LGBTQ+ rights and equality. The anniversaries of the first and second National Marches on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights occurred on October 14, 1979, and October 11, 1987, respectively. Attendees of both marches demanded that Congress pass anti-discrimination and civil rights legislation to protect LGBTQ+ individuals, while the latter demonstrators also sought federal action to address the HIV/AIDS crisis.
October was also designated as LGBTQ+ History Month because National Coming Out Day is held annually on October 11.
LGBTQ+ History Month originated in the United States as Lesbian and Gay History Month and was first celebrated in 1994. It was founded by Missouri high school teacher Rodney Wilson to teach young people about LGBTQ+ history.
In a message videotaped for the Stronger Together conference held in London in June 2022, Wilson made these remarks:
"We've come a long way from the 1980s and 1990s, but we have a long way yet to go as any glance at current events makes abundantly evident. We must remain vigilant, observant, and strengthened to prevent those who would marginalize us from getting their way. All over the world, where things are better and worse by location, we have work to do. Celebrating the differences and recognizing the many similarities is part of that work. Educating everyone to their fullest potential as a human right is part of that work. Uniting the human family in every way we can is part of that work."●

Whoopi Goldberg Tests Positive For COVID-19 As 'The View' Films Remotely, Actress Has 'Very Mild' Symptoms
By:Molly Claire Goddard
Whoopi Goldberg has tested positive for COVID-19.
During the Monday, January 3, episode of The View, cohost Joy Behar revealed where the actress, 66, was amid the recent Omicron uptick. Goldberg has been vaccinated and has received the booster shot.
"Why am I here instead of Whoopi?" the comedian, 79, told the audience. "Well, Whoopi, unfortunately, tested positive over the break but she'll be back probably next week. Since she's vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms have been very, very, mild. But we're being super cautious here at The View."

ANA NAVARRO DEEMED 'TOO FRIENDLY' AS 'THE VIEW' STRUGGLES TO FIND 'UNICORN' REPUBLICAN COHOST TO FILL MEGHAN MCCAIN'S CONSERVATIVE SHOES
Behar explained that she as well as her fellow panelists Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and guest host Ana Navarro were all partaking in the show from home due to the surge of positive cases.
"They say there's no place like home for the holidays and that's exactly where we are this year," the Joy Behar: Say Anything! star said. "Happy New Year from all of our living rooms. As you can see we're back in boxes and doing the show remotely — hopefully for just a week, I'm praying that it's just a week but you never know because this Omicron thing is all over the place."
However, that was not the only Coronavirus shocker. Hostin, 53, then revealed that over the break, she and her mother battled the virus as well.
"I FaceTimed with my family for Christmas and New Year's and it was extremely difficult," the attorney explained. "My mom also tested positive for COVID. We're all negative now and thank God Manny and the kids and my dad were negative and remain negative."
'THE VIEW' IN TURMOIL: IN DIRE NEED OF REPUBLICAN CO-HOST, NO-ONE WILL JOIN BECAUSE JOY BEHAR, WHOOPI GOLDBERG & SUNNY HOSTIN ARE ALLEGEDLY BULLIES ON SET
"I'm so thankful that I was vaccinated and boosted because I only had cold-like symptoms, but I didn't feel great honestly and it just goes to show you that the vaccine and the boosters do work and it makes sure that you're not hospitalized for something like this and it makes sure that you don't die from something like this," Hostin further clarified.
The legal analyst revealed last year that she lost both her mother-in-law and father-in-law to the virus in December of 2020 — the two dying within three days of each other.
As OK! previously reported, earlier in December Goldberg had been out at the ABC chat show after being in "close contact" with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

Lizzy Borden "My Midnight Things"
September 4, 2018 by Kris Engelhart
Lizzy Borden has recently released his seventh studio album and first new music in eleven years, "My Midnight Things" via Metal Blade Records. The record is his first since 2007's "Appointment With Death" and features ten new songs that run the gamut stylistically from metal and rock to glam and theatrical and a little bit of everything in between. Hunkering down in his North Hollywood studio by himself to write and record, Borden came through with a plethora of material eventually whittling things down to the ten songs that make up "My Midnight Things." He also took a bit of a different approach to the writing process, focusing on lyrical content first and creating music to match.
Borden is a skilled multi-instrumentalist and tackled not only lead vocals but also all the guitar and bass with his brother Joey Scott handling the drums and Marliese Quance Mildenberg laying down the majority of the keyboard tracks. The title track opens up the record with a driving pace and a rich layered vocal style much like his 1989 "Master of Disguise" album. Borden possesses an incredible vocal range and the years appear to have been kind as he sounds better than ever. "Long May They Haunt Us" changes it up with a real 80's metal feel and a soaring melodic chorus. Mildenberg's keyboards add to the incredible layering effect on the album as Borden experiments with different sounds and tones. The tempo changes of "Run Away With Me" allows the song to build and build to a powerful chorus while "Our Love Is God" kicks things up a notch with a harder, metal beat and shouts of "Wake up!" and "Rise up!" A reprise of the title track offers a unique touch as a stripped down keyboard driven ballad and the album closer "We Belong to the Shadows" is both powerful and majestic with an almost Broadway style feel .
"My Midnight Things" takes the best of what Lizzy Borden has to offer with a few new twists and turns resulting in an epic album of pure metal grandeur, one that you won't want to miss.

This paper deepens the study on fuel evaporation in a modern internal combustion engine fed with commercial diesel fuel and the biofuel rapeseed methyl ester (RME) by modeling and infrared diagnostics. A 1d model has been coupled to experimental results of infrared imaging measurements carried out in a research compression ignition engine equipped with the head of a commercial diesel engine. Images of the in-cylinder processes have been recorded at different crank angles through the optical access in the piston. An infrared bandpass filter has been used to isolate the fuel vapor phase (3.4 µm) and to analyze the spatial evolution and concentration of fuel in the combustion chamber. On the other hand, a 1d model of fuel injection has been implemented to calculate the instantaneous fuel vapor mass and the evaporation rate. The energy required for the vaporization of the fuel and its contribution to the calculated rate of heat release in the cylinder has been evaluated. Model results of fuel concentration inside the jet structure are in line with qualitative infrared data. A slower evaporation rate has been estimated for RME and a correspondence between the peak of evaporation rate and the IR signal has been noted.


MONA is a luxury swimwear brand. Set up by Irish print designer Carla Johnson now based in London. Cut around an elegant 1950s hourglass shape, the pieces work stylishly and the prints give the traditional shapes a contemporary feel.
The swimwear is created through the eyes of her enigmatic alter ego MONA - a dark siren, borne out of Irish folklore. Whilst the prints are inspired by MONA's mysterious world, shining fish scales, cool damp sands, and iridescent flashes. We played up to the nature aspect in our shoot, using plants and sand to create a tropical paradise to place MONA in.

CD Reviews Reviews Shadows The Relapse Symphony
The Relapse Symphony was an act that got a ton of buzz with their debut EP "Time Running Out" released just two years ago, everyone was in the heat of the moment for these guys. A short while later their debut video for "Panic (Time Running Out)" came forth and the buzz continued onward. The band went on to tour and play shows until further notice and word of mouth came around for their debut full-length "Shadows".
This 11-track release captures the same momentum as the EP had done except enhances it, taking what we heard before and allowing these musicians to mature and create further. A re-release of "Make Your Move", can be found which is somewhat the same with little to no changes, while other stand out songs include lead single "We Are The Broken", sounding awfully like Black Veil Brides' song "Fallen Angels" with slightly similar lyrics and tone to it. Other noted songs "Savage Eyes", "Angels Take Us Demons Save Us", and "Forever Slowly", the track "Forever Slowly" being the balled of the tracklisting, capturing true emotion with its passionate vocals, modern tempo with that easy going rock rhythm and lyrics that truly get you, bring it around to being a well rounded song. While the others release a heavier rhythm that wraps it all up.
The Relapse Symphony's debut release "Shadows" is a well rounded matured effort but their debut EP release seems to have a more powerful impact, whereas "Shadows" may creep out from the shadows piece by piece.

Appalling rip-off by the for-profit colleges:…
Appalling rip-off by the for-profit colleges: Editorial
Students wait outside Everest College,, a subsidiary of Corinthian, on April 28 in the City of Industry, hoping to get their transcripts and information on loan forgiveness and transferring credits to other schools.
By The San Gabriel Valley Tribune | sgvtribune@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: May 12, 2015 at 4:52 pm | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 7:12 am
Why do for-profit "colleges" and "universities" even exist in a world in which we have so many superb genuine institutions dedicated to truly higher learning?
The first thing to understand is that, given the rapacious marketing campaigns aimed at unsuspecting veterans topped with the fact that it is only government-backed student loans that make these businesses profitable, the above is a question very much worth asking. A good position for a (genuine) college debate team to argue would be: "Resolved: For-profit colleges should not exist." The cherry on top of the evidence that the schools should not be allowed to rip off students under the guise of providing them an education could easily be the recent bankruptcy of the appalling Corinthian Colleges Inc., which the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has labeled nothing more than a "predatory lending scheme" operating in the guise of an educational establishment.
Attorneys seeking to represent some 500,000 Corinthian students whose degrees are now essentially worthless or who never got to finish say that the school may be liable for up to $25 billion in student claims. The lawyers say the students were entirely misled by Corinthian and its subsidiaries about the schools' accreditation status and how much money a degree would really cost.
To be fair, one (genuine) scholar who has studied the matter has an answer to our original question: "For-profits exist in large part to fix educational market failures left by traditional institutions, and they profit by serving students that public and private nonprofit institutions too often ignore," Kevin Carey wrote in The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2010. There is a kicker to that from Carey: "There's no doubt that the worst for-profits are ruthlessly exploiting the commodified college degree. But they didn't commodify it in the first place."
Indeed they did not. Traditional American higher education, from Harvard to your local community college, is itself the greatest commodifier in the world of the notion that what it has to sell is worth almost any price. And it gets us to do the advertising. In no other nation in the world does the family sedan sport a decal — often multiple decals — bragging about where the kids, or the dad and mom, went to college. There are no "Oxford" stickers on London's Jaguars, no "Sorbonne" promotion on a Parisian Peugeot. The price we pay for traditional colleges has gone through the roof, and some of them go out of business, too, as Sweet Briar in Virginia has.
But it is a time of reckoning for the businesses that own schools. Their student base is shrinking rapidly, and many "campuses" — often just office space — are being closed. Even the biggest, the University of Phoenix, has less than half the students it had in 2010.
It's time for a rethinking of the entire well-meaning but failed notion that "every American student should go to college." The fact is that most high school students have neither the desire nor the aptitude for the old liberal-arts model of four years at State U. And no large economy can support that model.
We need to invest in our community colleges to provide affordable technical vocational training that will give students the skills they really need in today's changing workplace. With its large and excellent system, California could lead the nation in practical, affordable college for all, eliminating the need for the rip-off for-profits.

Q: How to use joint selectors in styled-component I have legacy CSS which looks like this:
.btn_1 {
    color: #fff;
    background: #004dda;
    display: inline-block;
}
.btn_1:hover {
  background-color: #FFC107;
  color: #222 !important;
}
.btn_1.full-width {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
}

I want to migrate to using styled-components (CSS-in-JS style) in React.
This is my migration so far:
.btn_1 {
    color: #fff;
    background: #004dda;
    display: inline-block;
    :hover {
        background-color: #FFC107;
        color: #222 !important;
    }
}

but is there any solution in styled-components for selectors like .btn_1.full-width or I should just create another CSS block for that?

I think it would be cool to do something like this (or better):
.btn_1 {
    ${this}.full-width {
        display: block;
        width: 100%;
   }
}

but I can't seem to find the solution in the documents. Do you have any idea how this is possible or is this even a good idea?

A: from official styled components documentation
For complex selector patterns, the ampersand (&) can be used to refer back to the main component. Here are some more examples of its potential usage:
const Thing = styled.div.attrs({ tabIndex: 0 })`
  color: blue;

  &:hover {
    color: red; // <Thing> when hovered
  }

  & ~ & {
    background: tomato; // <Thing> as a sibling of <Thing>, but maybe not directly next to it
  }

  & + & {
    background: lime; // <Thing> next to <Thing>
  }

  &.something {
    background: orange; // <Thing> tagged with an additional CSS class ".something"
  }

  .something-else & {
    border: 1px solid; // <Thing> inside another element labeled ".something-else"
  }
`

A: You can use the ampersand to chain nested selectors.
.btn_1 {
    &.full-width {
        display: block;
        width: 100%;
   }
}

I can give you a free pass for CR if you want, last 3 days. And as awesome as having anime stores sounds - when they cater to mainstream mainly, it often has the opposite effect. Anime merchandise is just too damn expensive.

Paralopostega dives is a moth of the family Opostegidae. It was first described by Lord Walsingham in 1907. It is endemic to the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

The larvae feed on Melicope species (M. anisata, M. kauaiensis and M. gayana). They probably mine the leaves of their host plant.

Wednesday marked the 3rd lower close in a row for the S&P 500. This is the 1st time the market has pulled back for more than 2 days since the March bottom. A move below 882.52 on Friday would mark the 5th consecutive lower low. Coming off a 50-day high that would not be a good thing. Strong markets shouldn't make 5 consecutive lower lows. That will often lead to even lower prices over the next few weeks.


Work life is altering, so Advert Age rebooted its annual Finest Locations to Work report to raised seize what issues most in at this time's office and to discover what makes an awesome place to work.
Advert Age Finest Locations to Work 2019—produced in partnership with Latitude Analysis, a market analysis firm—identifies 50 workplaces that get the job performed: 25 firms with 200 or fewer workers and 25 firms with greater than 200 workers.
Winners mirror the very best general numerical scores based mostly on an evaluation of questionnaires submitted by employers and survey responses from 1000's of their workers.
The scoring system factored in six key satisfaction areas, an combination of every firm's scores in these key areas and a collective office score to reach at an general rating.
The six key areas: worker advantages, firm tradition, worker improvement, firm setting, worker engagement and worker perks.
Many of the surveyed workers understand their office positively and provides their firm excessive marks.
Not surprisingly, core advantages (honest pay, medical insurance, paid time without work) are must-haves and extremely valued by workers.However advantages (and perks) alone do not translate to a excessive office rating. As a substitute, firm tradition and setting are almost certainly to be related to excessive office scores.
The components that almost all relate to office scores embody emotions of assist, encouragement, empowerment and goal—areas the place top-scoring firms within the survey exceeded expectations.
Workers additionally want clear communication and work-life stability—areas the place many firms got here up quick within the worker survey responses.
Additionally, firm dimension issues. These with greater than 200 workers are simply as more likely to earn prime scores on advantages and perks as smaller firms however path on tradition, setting and improvement. And worker survey findings present staffers at bigger firms are simply as more likely to take pleasure in their colleagues and really feel their particular person efficiency is robust however they really feel much less valued, supported and motivated than workers at smaller firms.
Likewise, workers at smaller firms see extra room for development for girls and minorities, and so they really feel like onerous work leads to higher pay.
In-depth interviews performed by Latitude Analysis with the highest-ranked firms general present how a lot thought, planning and work goes into making a Finest Place to Work. These firms are likely to craft firm tradition manifestos and to rent (and hearth) rigorously for the most effective tradition match. Having any given shopper be a great match is essential as effectively.
The highest-ranked organizations have an abundance of strategic and well-thought-out advantages and perks. Administration at these firms centered on how they might use advantages and perks to handle their individuals and take away limitations that hindered progress and success each personally and professionally.
Whether or not it is parental depart, the power to work remotely, limitless trip time, free lunches, firm retreats or recreation rooms, every little thing is about making clear to workers: We would like you to reach and out of doors of labor, we anticipate quite a bit from you and you may anticipate quite a bit from us in return.
"There's a misconception about what culture is," says Zach Morrison, president of Elite SEM, a digital advertising and marketing company with the very best general rating amongst firms with greater than 200 workers. "Folks assume that tradition is recreation rooms and free meals and completely happy hours. And we've got all of those. However to me, that is not tradition, these are perks or advantages.
The experiences of workers on the general highest-rated firms are higher throughout the board. Survey outcomes present they really feel in another way about their relationships with their co-workers and administration, exude greater morale and imagine there are extra alternatives for progress.
And Latitude Analysis discovered that senior management acknowledges how investing in workers pays in income and happy purchasers. Leaders of top-scoring firms make a aware effort to empower workers to talk up, ask questions and suggest concepts. Investments in worker empowerment and improvement pay dividends within the type of longer and higher working relationships with purchasers.
Prime-ranked firms make an effort to indicate that they care about workers' skilled and private futures. Leaders who put individuals first make sure that advantages, perks, setting and tradition will foster an expertise that helps each profession and private progress.
