FDR's War Against the Press
Franklin Roosevelt had his own Breitbart, and radio was his Twitter.

Donald Trump's champions and critics agree: He is rewriting the relationship between the press and the presidency. On the pro-Trump side, Newt Gingrich claims that the president's "brilliant" use of Twitter allows him "very quickly over and over to set the agenda at almost no cost," while Press Secretary Sean Spicer says it gives him a "direct pipeline to the American people." Critics highlight how Trump sidelines the press by bullying his critics, rebuffing hard questions, and favoring sympathetic outlets such as Breitbart. They have expressed alarm about Trump's call to "open up" libel laws as a means to quash "horrible and false" stories.
Another president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, revised the media rules in equally profound ways. Like Trump, he feuded with the mainstream media; like Trump, he used a new medium as a direct pipeline to the people. He also used the government's machinery to suppress unfavorable coverage, a fate we hope to avoid in the age of Trump.
Manipulating the Media Roosevelt, like Trump, had a good relationship with the press at the start of his public career. Journalists found him quotable and amusing. But by 1934 this honeymoon had frayed, and a year later it had given way to a war of words. Roosevelt complained constantly about the press's "poisonous propaganda." With a tone of mock sympathy, he reassured reporters that he understood they were not to blame, because publishers told them what to write.
In the 1936 election, Roosevelt claimed that 85 percent of the newspapers were against him. In the standard work on the subject, historian Graham J. White finds that the actual percentage was much lower and the print press generally gave FDR balanced news coverage, but most editorialists and columnists were indeed opposed to the administration. Convinced that the media were out to get him, Roosevelt warned in 1938 that "our newspapers cannot be edited in the interests of the general public, from the counting room. And I wish we could have a national symposium on that question, particularly in relation to the freedom of the press. How many bogies are conjured up by invoking that greatly overworked phrase?"
Roosevelt's relationship with radio was warmer. The key distinction was that broadcasters operated in an entirely different political context: Thanks to federal rules and administrators, they had to tread much more lightly than newspapers did. At its inception in 1934, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reduced the license renewal period for stations from three years to only six months. Meanwhile, Roosevelt tapped Herbert L. Pettey as secretary of the FCC (and its predecessor, the Federal Radio Commission). Pettey had overseen radio for Roosevelt in the 1932 campaign. After his appointment, he worked in tandem with the Democratic National Committee to handle "radio matters" with both the networks and local stations.
It did not take long for broadcasters to get the message. NBC, for example, announced that it was limiting broadcasts "contrary to the policies of the United States government." CBS Vice President Henry A. Bellows said that "no broadcast would be permitted over the Columbia Broadcasting System that in any way was critical of any policy of the Administration." He elaborated "that the Columbia system was at the disposal of President Roosevelt and his administration and they would permit no broadcast that did not have his approval." Local station owners and network executives alike took it for granted, as Editor and Publisher observed, that each station had "to dance to Government tunes because it is under Government license." Some dissident radio commentators, such as Father Charles Coughlin and Boake Carter, gained wide audiences. But radio as a whole was firmly pro-Roosevelt—and both Coughlin and Carter were eventually forced off the air for pushing the envelope too far.
For Roosevelt, of course, the main advantage of radio was that the networks knew they had to carry his frequent fireside chats and other speeches in full, usually with minimal commentary. In very Trumpian language, Roosevelt praised the new media for restoring "direct contact between the masses and their chosen leaders." As the media historian Betty Houchin Winfield notes, radio allowed the president to be "the news gatherer, the reporter, as well as the editor," all at the same time.
Even as he was securing domination of the ether, Roosevelt worked hard to neutralize criticism from the print media. Here he used a combination of manipulation and intimidation. By 1935, the famous Roosevelt charm was much less of a guarantee of success, and his press conferences became increasingly orchestrated. Like Trump, he singled out some reporters who wanted to ask questions and ignored others. Writing for The Washington Post in 1938, Harlan Miller commented that Roosevelt only answered questions which enabled him to "utter an oral editorial.…He selects only those on which he can ring the bell."
He also gave special access to pro-administration outlets, such as J. David Stern's Philadelphia Record and Marshall Field's Chicago Sun. Another Field publication, PM, was probably the closest facsimile to a New Deal Breitbart. In both editorials and news reports, PM repeatedly demonized FDR's enemies, often comparing them to fascists. These pro–New Deal outlets had a special entrée to top administration officials, who gave them valuable scoops. The collaboration went both ways. In 1942, Field brought an antitrust complaint against the much less Roosevelt-friendly Associated Press.
The Black Committee Roosevelt's intimidation efforts reached their apogee in the hands of the Special Senate Committee on Lobbying. The president indirectly recruited Sen. Hugo L. Black (D–Ala.), a zealous and effective New Deal loyalist, as chair. The committee's original mission was to probe the opposition campaign to the "death sentence" in the Public Utility Holding Company Bill, a provision that would have allowed, under certain circumstances, the dissolution of utility holding companies. The Black Committee gained traction with the public when it brought to light evidence that some lobbyists had concocted thousands of "fake telegrams" sent to Congress to protest the bill. Smelling blood, Black expanded the investigation into a general probe of anti–New Deal voices, including journalists.
The Treasury granted Black access to tax returns dating back to 1925 of such critics as David Lawrence of the United States News. Then he moved to obtain his targets' private telegrams, demanding that telegraph companies let the committee search copies of all incoming and outgoing telegrams for the first nine months of 1935. When Western Union refused on privacy grounds, the FCC, at Black's urging, ordered it to comply.
Over a nearly three-month period at the end of 1935, FCC and Black Committee staffers searched great stacks of telegrams in Western Union's D.C. office. Operating with virtually no restriction, they read the communications of sundry lobbyists, newspaper publishers, and conservative political activists as well as every member of Congress. Writing to Black, one investigator stated that they had gone through "35,000 to 50,000 per day." Various newspapers and members of Congress later estimated that staffers had examined some five million telegrams over the course of the investigation. In 2017, this would be akin to staffers from a congressional committee and the FCC teaming up at the headquarters of Google and Yahoo! and then spending months secretly searching emails.
The committee used the information it found as a basis for more than 1,000 new subpoenas. One of these was for all incoming and outgoing telegrams, not just those sent through Washington, D.C., of W.H. Cowles' anti–New Deal newspaper chain in the Northwest.
The subpoenas' vast reach alarmed Western Union's executives, who didn't want to drive away privacy-conscious customers. In early February 1936, the company adopted a new policy of telling all targeted individuals that the Black Committee had searched their telegrams. Before this time, the committee had been able to do its work in secret; most of its targets had no clue about what was happening. As more people found out, the committee faced intensified opposition.
The angriest response might be that of Newton D. Baker, a cautious critic of the New Deal who had served as Woodrow Wilson's secretary of war. After Western Union informed him that Black's committee had examined his telegrams for an entire year, he wrote: "Man of peace as I am, I am quite sure I could not keep my hand off the rope if I accidentally happened to stumble upon a party bent on hanging him."
The Clash with Hearst Meanwhile, Black was taking on the most famous newspaper publisher in American history: William Randolph Hearst. An exuberant nationalist and law-and-order advocate, Hearst had been instrumental in securing Roosevelt's nomination in 1932 but had since turned against his old ally. Roosevelt reciprocated by instructing the Department of the Treasury to closely monitor Hearst's taxes.
In February 1936, the Black Committee served a subpoena on Hearst directly for a telegram he had sent on April 5, 1935, to James T. Williams Jr., an editorial writer for the Hearst papers. In that communication—marked "Confidential"—Hearst asked Williams to write editorials calling for the impeachment of Rep. John J. McSwain (D–S.C.), the chair of the House Military Appropriations Committee: "He is the enemy within the gates of Congress.…He is a Communist in spirit and a traitor in effect. He would leave United States naked to its foreign and domestic enemies."
It is odd that Black publicly subpoenaed the original telegram from Hearst, given that he already had a complete copy of it from the earlier search of the Western Union office. Perhaps he feared raising potentially embarrassing questions about the secretive nature and methods used in that search. In any event, in March, Hearst petitioned the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to enjoin Western Union from handing over the telegram. The suit charged that the committee had violated the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments, adding that the telegram contained no reference to lobbying.
Black's first instinct was to counterattack, but he did so in an uncharacteristically clumsy way. He sent copies of the Hearst telegram both to the press and to McSwain. He apparently hoped that his colleagues would take such offense at the inflammatory prose that they would rally to the committee. In a coup de grace, Black minimized the potential legal damage by also withdrawing the subpoena. Because the committee already had a copy, he explained, no "good purpose can be served by a one-sided court battle in the nature of a mock trial of an injunction proceeding affecting the basic constitutional powers of the Congress of the United States."
At the same time, Black vented his anger at Western Union for its uncooperative attitude. In a public letter to the head of the company's D.C. office, he accused the owners of putting the needs of one particularly high-volume customer, William Randolph Hearst, ahead of the public good: "The Western Union Telegraph Co. would naturally not desire to bring out the fact that an effort had been made by its patron to intimidate and coerce in the performance of its legislative duty a Member of Congress [McSwain], whose reputation for loyalty and patriotic service is above criticism."
One of Black's colleagues on the committee, Sen. Sherman Minton (D–Ind.), used the occasion to mount a well-coordinated attack on Hearst and all he represented. In a speech on the Senate floor, he revisited the newspaper mogul's misdeeds dating back to the Spanish-American War. Hearst, Minton proclaimed, "would not know the Goddess of Liberty if she came down off her pedestal in New York Harbor and bowed to him. He would probably try to get her telephone number." Like Black, Minton depicted Hearst and other anti–New Dealers as the real enemies of free speech for spreading fascist propaganda and stealthily promoting a financial dictatorship.
Black's release of the Hearst telegram backfired. Critics pointed out that it directly contradicted the committee's previous pledge to only reveal telegrams found to be relevant. By releasing the telegram, The Washington Post editorialized, the Black Committee showed it had become "rather too smart for success." Instead of discrediting Hearst, the action had "sharply underlined the indefensible nature of its own dragnet tactics" that had revealed "a private wire from a citizen who has filed a charge of conspiracy against the committee." Editor and Publisher wondered "if anything is safe" when a congressional committee and the FCC are able to fish a "private message out of the Western Union office for political reasons solely." Arthur Krock, the Washington bureau chief of The New York Times, dubbed the release a misguided ploy to "gain public approval of Snoopnocracy."
Caught flat-footed, Black's defenders claimed that they were following the precedent set by earlier congressional investigations, such as the probe of the Teapot Dome scandal. But those earlier subpoenas had not included anything approaching the Black Committee's open-ended demands for telegrams—fishing expeditions that hadn't specified particular individuals. Black further hurt his cause with a continuing tone-deafness toward privacy concerns. For example, he claimed that the "law doesn't recognize that a telegram is a man's" but "is the telegram company's and is retained for subpoena purposes."
Despite this outward self-confidence, Black had cause for concern. He was meeting resistance from unexpected quarters, including a leading spokesman for liberal reform: syndicated columnist Walter Lippmann. The committee, Lippmann wrote, was "becoming an engine of tyranny in which men are denied the elementary legal protection that a confirmed criminal caught red-handed in the act can still count upon." Lippmann, who had impeccable civil liberties credentials, thought Black's investigation resembled those led by right-wing "Red hunters" who "cared nothing whom they slandered." Lippmann unsparingly challenged the senator's motivations and abilities: Black, he declared, "is an enthusiast for investigations, but in the realm of justice he is an obvious illiterate." He closed his column by calling for an investigation of the investigators.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) denounced the committee's actions too. Black found it perplexing that he had to worry about his left flank, asking in a letter to a Kansas ACLU officer why a group claiming "to protect the masses of the people from loss of their economic and political liberty" had aligned itself with those who valued "property" over "human" rights. The ACLU renewed its campaign against the committee after news reports that the National Woman's Party, led by equal rights crusader Alice Paul, was on the target list. The ACLU's executive director, Roger Baldwin, wrote to Black asking why he was probing a group that had nothing to do with utility legislation. In his reply, Black evaded the question, claimed that the committee's procedure did not depart from time-worn American traditions, and added, somewhat ominously, that he was "sure that upon mature consideration, you will wish to withdraw your request for information."
In the face of mounting congressional opposition, and to fend off a possible injunction, the FCC announced that any telegrams it had seized were now "in the possession of the Special Committee of United States Senate." Moreover, it did not intend any "further investigation or examination" of telegrams at Western Union. A Washington Post editorial attributed the commission's decision to "public outcry against the OPGU methods followed by Senator Black's investigators." (The OPGU was the Soviet secret police.) Short of funds and under fire, Black had no choice but to end the "field investigation." The FCC's decision forced the Black Committee to retreat on future searches but also shielded it from direct legal sanctions.
The committee's most powerful champion was Roosevelt himself, although he carefully avoided tipping his hand in public. He referred specifically to the Black Committee at a May 1936 meeting, according to former FDR advisor Raymond D. Moley. In the midst of a "nightmarish conversation [that] went on and on in circles for some two hours," Moley bluntly asked Roosevelt about the lack of "moral indignation" when Black's committee had "ruthlessly invaded the privacy of citizens." Moley opined that he would rather let the guilty "go free than to establish the principle of dragnet investigations." Roosevelt responded with a long discourse on how Black's actions had "ample precedent." Moley inferred that Roosevelt believed "the end justified the means."
Although members of the committee talked about resuming the deliberations in the winter, it never met again under Black's chairmanship. The senator had sometimes churned up embarrassing information on anti–New Dealers, but his methods had proven too toxic.
The final decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in the Hearst case, handed down just after Roosevelt's landslide re-election victory in 1936, gave only mixed solace to Black Committee foes. The Court blasted the FCC for sanctioning a "wholesale" examination of telegrams and then turning these over to the Black Committee, declaring that this was "without authority of law and contrary to the very terms of the act under which the Commission was constituted." It added that "telegraph messages do not lose their privacy and become public property when the sender communicates them confidentially to the telegraph company," elaborating that in many states it was a "penal offense" to violate this privacy. The Court also affirmed that it had jurisdiction over the FCC's future actions. Yet it ruled that it had no constitutional basis to assert jurisdiction in the case, despite the "unlawful nature of the search," because the investigation had ceased.
Still, the Hearst ruling was a precedent against any future mass seizure of private telegrams by a congressional committee, at least via the FCC. One can only imagine what Joseph McCarthy could have done had he been able to get similar access to private communications. In later years even Black, who often championed civil liberties after he joined the Supreme Court, expressed some regret about his actions as a senator.
The Libel Bill At the time, the Hearst ruling meant little to Roosevelt, who appeared to have no need for more investigations. He now had overwhelming Democratic support in both houses of Congress and seemed free to get a Third New Deal if he wanted one. His window of opportunity soon closed, however.
In 1937, the president overplayed his hand by pushing a plan to appoint additional justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. The hard pushback, most visibly by Democrats, threw him off balance. A leader in the opposition was the Committee for Constitutional Government (CCG), led by publisher Frank Gannett, formed only days after Roosevelt announced his plan. The CCG pioneered direct mail methods and had an impressive list of supporters, including the progressive reformer and civil libertarian Amos Pinchot, the novelist Booth Tarkington, and the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale. The group soon expanded its agenda to oppose the New Deal as a whole.
Alarmed New Dealers resumed the investigations of the Senate Special Committee on Lobbying to target those who opposed "objectives of the administration." By this time Black had joined the Supreme Court, so now Sen. Minton was chair. Minton was an even more zealous defender of Roosevelt's agenda than Black had been. According to credible accounts, Roosevelt had first offered him the Supreme Court job that later went to Black but Minton demurred, wanting to stay in the Senate.
While the Hearst decision had closed off Minton's power to seize copies of telegrams, his methods were still extremely heavy-handed. Committee staffers arrived en masse at the CCG's office, where they began copying financial records, membership lists, and other files. After watching this for some time, Edward H. Rumely, the CCG's energetic secretary, ordered them out, charging an illegal "fishing expedition." Meanwhile, the Department of the Treasury gave Minton access to Rumely's income tax returns. The defiant secretary refused to hand over donor or member lists on the grounds that the demand violated privacy and constitutional rights. The Justice Department contemplated a prosecution but ultimately decided that it might backfire by making Rumely a martyr.
Minton struck back by proposing a "libel bill" imposing a prison sentence of up to two years for publishing newspapers or magazine articles "known to be false." (Many years later, a confidante of Minton said that someone else, possibly from the administration, had asked him to do it.) While rolling out the bill, Minton charged, in confused but revealing language, that "the free press of this country does not want encroachment upon democracy by the radio of the country. If there is going to be any encroachment on democracy, the free press wants to do it itself. It wants a free hand to do all of the encroaching it wants to do." He cited several examples of "propaganda," including articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer, a prominent anti–New Deal voice. He also alleged that publishers "want to curb the radio" and "deny the president the right to sit down before a microphone in his own home and speak to the people of the country about their government."
Minton's proposed bill encountered outrage across the political spectrum. The ACLU condemned it, and the American Newspaper Publishers Association declared it part of a "lawless inquisition" that showed "arrogant disregard of the bill of rights." Denying any threat to radio, Gannett promised that he and other publishers would "fight to the end for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom for radio." The strongly pro–New Deal Rep. Maury Maverick (D–Texas), grandson of the man whose name inspired the term, also rejected the bill, emphasizing "the right of Mr. Roosevelt's opposition to express its opinions freely."
Roosevelt, unlike Trump, was not one to needlessly risk political capital in a losing battle. Asked at a press conference to take a stand on Minton's bill, he punted, joking that he did not think the federal government had sufficient funds to build enough new prisons to make room for everyone who could be convicted under such a law. Before moving on to the next question, he quipped for the benefit of the reporters present: "You boys asked for it, you know."
Taken completely aback by the opposition, and no doubt by Roosevelt's reluctance to weigh in, Minton withdrew his bill and soon called off further investigations. It is quite possible too that Minton himself did not fully believe in his own proposal. Two years later he lost his re-election race, but he bounced back in 1949 when his old Senate ally, Harry S. Truman, offered him a slot on the Supreme Court. This time Minton said yes.
Lessons for a New Era These stories provide some reassurance for Americans worried about Trump. If nothing else, they indicate that even a president as powerful, popular, and politically adept as Roosevelt can be checked when faced with determined opposition.
Friends of free speech can also take heart that Trump has many comparative vulnerabilities (mostly self-inflicted). His tweets, in contrast to Roosevelt's fireside chats, display a spur-of-the-moment attitude that is more likely to backfire. Trump's loner status, his alienation from congressional and Republican elites, is another disadvantage. Roosevelt was able to use senators such as Black as fronts; Trump will have a harder time establishing deniability if a trial balloon bursts. Another plus: The FCC no longer exercises nearly as much power over the non-print media.
But there are plenty of good reasons to be fearful for the future of free speech under Trump, too. The presidency has accumulated many powers it lacked in Roosevelt's day (at least in peacetime), including access to a massive surveillance state. And objectors in Congress have diminished ability to check the president's designs via the filibuster. Should Trump make a Rooseveltian assault on free speech, our best hope may be that his haphazardness will be his undoing.

Der Primkörper ist ein Begriff aus dem mathematischen Teilgebiet Algebra mit zwei unterschiedlichen Bedeutungen. Zum einen wird der kleinste Teilkörper eines Körpers als dessen Primkörper bezeichnet, zum anderen wird der Begriff für endliche Körper mit  Elementen verwendet, wobei  eine Primzahl ist. Beide Definitionen sind eng verwandt, da der Primkörper eines Körpers mit Primzahlcharakteristik ein Primkörper gemäß der zweiten Definition ist.

Isomorphietyp der Primkörper

Die Charakteristik eines Körpers legt den Isomorphietyp seines Primkörpers fest. Da ein Körper immer ein Integritätsring ist, kann seine Charakteristik nur 0 oder eine Primzahl sein. Ist die Charakteristik 0, so ist der Primkörper isomorph zum Körper  der rationalen Zahlen. Dies impliziert, dass Körper, deren Charakteristik 0 ist, immer unendlich sind, schließlich enthalten sie immer . Ist sie hingegen eine Primzahl , so ist der Primkörper isomorph zum Restklassenkörper . Hieraus lässt sich aber nicht folgern, dass Körper mit Primzahlcharakteristik immer endlich sind. Auch unendliche Körper können endliche Primkörper besitzen. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist der algebraische Abschluss  von  oder der Körper  der rationalen Funktionen über .

Weitere Eigenschaften von Primkörpern

 Der Primkörper ist der Durchschnitt aller Teilkörper eines Körpers.
 Jeder Körper ist Oberkörper seines Primkörpers.
 Es lässt sich zeigen, dass die Ordnung jedes endlichen Körpers eine Potenz der Ordnung seines Primkörpers ist.
 Alle Primkörper sind starr, d. h., sie besitzen nur den trivialen Automorphismus. Der Primkörper eines beliebigen Körpers kann also auf eindeutige Weise mit einem der oben genannten Körper identifiziert werden.

As you may already know, I enjoy running and over the years have participated in 23 marathons. On Respect Life Sunday, Oct. 7, I will be running a marathon in Long Beach, Calif., with the LIFE Runners, a pro-life running organization with 8,500 teammates in all 50 states and 35 nations. LIFE Runners began on Oct. 12, 2008 when 12 teammates raced the Chicago Marathon to raise funds for life-saving ultrasound machines. The LIFE Runners group has grown over the years and has fielded the largest teams for several marathons, most recently with 75 teammates at the 2016 Philadelphia Marathon and 100 teammates last year in Pensacola. This will be my 24th marathon in 24 years.
One of the reasons I run marathons is to raise funds for various charitable causes. The charitable cause that I have designated for the 2018 LIFE Runners Marathon is the Divine Mercy Senior Living Community that we are planning to build in Glen Carbon. This community, which will be located on the campus next to Father McGivney Catholic High School, will provide high-quality senior housing with a Catholic expression to people of all faiths.
If you would like to support me in this effort, I invite you to make a tax-deductible pledge donation (e.g., $2 per mile x 26.2 miles = $52.40).
Donating to the Divine Mercy Senior Living Community would be a great way to encourage me to run 26.2 miles on Oct. 7 and support our pro-life efforts on Respect Life Sunday. The theme for this year's Respect Life Month is, "Every Life: Cherished, Chosen, Sent." This life-giving message expresses our profound respect for all human life from conception to the moment of natural death. Your support for the Divine Mercy Senior Living Center will help to provide quality care for our brothers and sisters in the twilight of their lives.
As sacred Scripture says, "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1). Your support will be greatly appreciated.


Yesterday, in what appears to have been a not particularly sweat-breaking research enterprise, blogger Don Surber at the Charleston Daily Mail demonstrated that the Richard Muller, a Berkley scientist who the Washington Post's Brad Plumer declared to be a "cliimate skeptic," has been a believer in human-caused global warming -- since the 1980s.
... physicist Richard Muller of Berkeley — embraced the theory of man-made global warming 30 years ago. An online search easily disproved his claim of skepticism. He co-authored a book, "Physics For Future Presidents," that explained climate change among other things. Now he has re-branded himself a former skeptic — the better to sell global warming.
... Richard Muller is not who he says he is. He is an advocate of the theory of man-made global warming.
... From Grist on October 6, 2008 (Note the title, "Author and physicist Richard A. Muller chats with Grist about getting science back in the White Hous" [sic] -- Ed.): "The bottom line is that there is a consensus — the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] — and the president needs to know what the IPCC says. Second, they say that most of the warming of the last 50 years is probably due to humans." ... "back in the early '80s, I resigned from the Sierra Club over the issue of global warming. At that time, they were opposing nuclear power. What I wrote them in my letter of resignation was that, if you oppose nuclear power, the U.S. will become much more heavily dependent on fossil fuels, and that this is a pollutant to the atmosphere that is very likely to lead to global warming.
Gosh, in prior eras getting deceived so easily might have caused a reporter such as Plumer to be the subject of disciplinary action. Does anyone think we'll see any of in this instance?
Odds of WaPo retracting this story: About the same as the chance that they'll retract the garbage the paper produced on Thursday about Marco Rubio, which John Podhoretz at Commentary described on Friday as "one of the more disgraceful pieces of personal hit journalism in memory."

JAMES CAGNEY Signed letter filled with recollections of playing George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy, and of Cohan's reaction to the film. Cagney's account, brimming with colorful anecdotes, illuminates a landmark of film history. Typed Letter signed: "J. Cagney", 2 pages 7¼x10½. Verney Farm, Staffordville, New York, 1979 July 3. To "Dear Mr. McGilligan", in full: "In answer to your recent letter, all the information you mention regarding the Cohan contribution to 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' is quite accurate. There was never a script submitted to Mr. Cohan. He sent a friend out, who was a lawyer, to view the rough cut. My brother Bill escorted Mr. Raftery to a projection room, and sat him down in a big comfortable chair. Inasmuch as the script had not been submitted, my brother was full of misgivings, feeling the lawyer would step all over it. My brother was wrong. About twenty minutes into the film it really got to Mr. Raftery. As he sat on the other end of the room, my brother could feel the lounge vibrating as he realized Mr. Raftery was crying.

ROY ROGERS - DOG COLLAR UNSIGNED - HFSID 274940
AUTHENTIC LEATHER COLLAR WORN BY BULLET, ROY ROGERS' "WONDER DOG" [ROY ROGERS]. Dog Collar, unsigned. Black leather dog collar decorated with studs and red plastic "jewels", 19 inches long, one inch wide. "Roy Rogers" imprinted in capital letters in white on back. This collar, which was originally sold at an auction held at the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Museum in Victorville, California, was worn by Roger's "wonder dog", Bullet. A founding member of the Western music group, Sons of the Pioneers (1934), Roy Rogers (1911-1998) broke into films as a singing cowboy the following year.

Karloff (1887-1969, born William Henry Pratt in Camberwell, London, England) was an English actor. Karloff had originally wanted a career in the diplomatic service, but he instead became one of Hollywood's most frightening actors. In 1931, he starred as the monster in the original Frankenstein, a role that had been turned down by Bela Lugosi. Karloff, who also scared the daylights out of movie-goers in the films The Mummy (1932) and The Ghoul (1933), also hosted and occasionally starred in the TV series Thriller. He gave one of the best of his many film performances in the 1968 Peter Bogdanovich film Targets, in which he virtually played himself - an aging star of horror movies.

Q: Ignore a property from a code first generated entity Is there a .Net attribute that will tell Breeze to completely ignore a property?
I know that making the property protected is one way to hide it from Breeze and prevent its serialization, but what if I would like it to remain public?

A: If you are using the Json.Net serializer ( the Breeze.WebApi default) you can use the JsonIgnoreAttribute, described here

A: It is tricky to devise an easy, maintainable way to have EF-generated metadata say one thing to the client and another to EF itself.
But you can do it if you're willing to have two DbContexts: the "real" DbContext for server-side model operations and another DbContext strictly for client metadata generation.
A DbContext for Metadata
It isn't as difficult as it sounds. I experimented with such a thing in DocCode. I created a NorthwindMetadataContext that inherits from the NorthwindContext. It hides the disused CustomerID_OLD property.
Here is that DbContext in its entirety:

public class NorthwindMetadataContext : NorthwindContext
{
    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>().Ignore(t => t.CustomerID_OLD);
    }
}

You read that right!  I simply add a single EF Fluent API instruction to hide the CustomerID_OLD property from the NorthwindMetadataContext.
It's still on the Customer type and it's still known to the base NorthwindContext. That means a query will return the CustomerID_OLDproperty when you query with the NorthwindContext but will not return the property when you query with the NorthwindMetadataContext.
Of course you only use the NorthwindMetadataContext to generate metadata for the Breeze client. All of your server logic continues to use the "real", base NorthwindContext
I make sure that's what happens by changing the way the NorthwindRepository implements the Metadata property:

public string Metadata
{
    get
    {
        var metaContextProvider = new EFContextProvider<NorthwindMetadataContext>();
        return metaContextProvider.Metadata();
    }
}

All other members of the NorthwindRepository use an EFContextProvider for the "real" DbContext:

private readonly EFContextProvider<NorthwindContext>
    _contextProvider = new EFContextProvider<NorthwindContext>();

This works like a charm. As far as the client know, the CustomerID_OLD property doesn't exist.
Try to keep the hidden data off the wire
Although you've hidden the property from Breeze clients, the property remains on the server-side entity type and, because we use the "real" DbContext for the query and save operations, you can see the CustomerID_OLD property going over the wire in the query results payload.
To keep that from happening, you can add the JSON.NET serializer [JsonIgnore] attribute to the Customer.CustomerID_OLD property in the model (you use other JSON.NET configuration options if you don't want to pollute your model with JSON.NET serialization attributes).
Run again and CustomerID_OLD is no longer serialized. The CustomerID_OLD property is now completely invisible to the client while still accessible in your model on the server.
BEWARE
The property that is hidden in metadata is hidden from Breeze clients ... but not from the world. Because you want that property available on the SERVER-SIDE TYPE, an evil client (not a Breeze client) can still GET that data with a projection even though you have hidden it when serializing the complete type.
The following query URL returns projection data that include the CustomerID_OLD that would be invisible if you queried for entire Customer objects.

http://localhost:47595/breeze/Northwind/Customers?$filter=startswith(CompanyName,'C') eq true&$select=CustomerID_OLD,CompanyName

Here is a bit of the result:

    {
        "$id": "1",
        "$type": "_IB_em9q7XTURqKf5bmIrAQD0bJ6f_po[[System.String, mscorlib],[System.String, mscorlib]], _IB_em9q7XTURqKf5bmIrAQD0bJ6f_po_IdeaBlade",
        "CustomerID_OLD": "CACTU",
        "CompanyName": "Cactus Comidas para llevar"
    },

Perhaps more seriously, a POST can update to that hidden property in the payload of a "SaveChanges" request.
As always with sensitive data, you must inspect every save request to make sure that the user is permitted to save each and every changed property value identified in the OriginalValues collection.
If you have security concerns, I feel it is much safer to use DTOs for types that carry data that must not be exposed to unauthorized clients. I don't like DTOs for every type; that's overkill that can ruin productivity. But I do like them for entity types with significant confidentiality requirements.
Example code
I have not yet decided if I will keep this example in the published DocCode or stash it in my private reserve. It is a cool trick.
My worry is that people will think this technique is a secure way to hide confidential data which it definitely is not. It's fine for hiding data that you'd rather keep hidden. But if it MUST be kept off the wire, you better use a DTO.
Let me know if what I've described is clear enough for you to proceed without a concrete example.

Heirloom Caprese Salad, Summer Gazpacho, and more!
Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad from Hello Glow: If the smell of creosote hasn't convinced you that summer is in full force, this Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad is sure to do the trick. Thick slices of tie-dyed heirloom tomatoes are layered with fresh garden basil and soft mozzarella, then drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I serve it alongside a loaf of Barrio Bread and a pitcher of Minty Melon Mojitos for a light and vibrant summer meal. Bonus: You don't even have to think about turning on the oven or stove to make this meal!
Garden Tomato Basil Soup from Edible Baja Arizona: Making this Garden Tomato Basil Soup is almost as easy as reheating a can of the condensed stuff. However, simmering garden-fresh tomatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic before blending them into a creamy pot of tomato soup is way more delicious than anything you can buy at the grocery store. Serve this with a summery side salad or a slice of rustic bread, lathered with Fiore di Capra goat cheese and broiled to bubbly perfection.
Greek Panzanella from Barefoot Contessa: Crusty, golden hunks of bread. Juicy tomatoes. Crunchy cucumbers. Sweet bell peppers. Tangy feta. Zippy vinaigrette. These are the reasons that I find myself dreaming of (and making) this Greek Panzanella on a regular basis.
Vegetarian al Fresco from Edible Baja Arizona: Treat yourself to a vegetarian feast, featuring summer's bountiful peppers, tomatoes, and mesquite flour. Mix and match grilled vegetables, mesquite flatbread, bean salad, and summer gazpacho for a meal that will leave your belly full and your tastebuds satisfied.
One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes from Smitten Kitchen: I'm serious when I say I've been dreaming about this one-pan farro with tomatoes since I saw it on the Smitten Kitchen Instagram page last week. Why? One pan. Seasonal cherry tomatoes bursting with joy (and juice). Creamy farro. Garden basil. Optional but also not optional parmesan cheese. You get it now, right?

February 4, 2012: Russia has sent a hundred of their new Korshun mine detectors to troops in the Caucasus. Weighing five kilograms (11 pounds) it is designed to detect electronic components and explosives. Russia would not disclose operational details of Korshun. The new mine detectors will be used to find inoperable, as well as active mines, and clear them. Over a hundred people a year are killed by mines in the Caucasus, most of them civilians.
If Russia decides to export Korshun, operational details will have to be released. But first, the Russians apparently want to find out just how effective Korshun is under realistic conditions.

We are the champions!
Danni Opara and Charlotte Webb starred as Reading came from 10 points down to win the UK Women's League Division 3 title.
The club went into the match at Leeds knowing that just a top-four finish would secure promotion.
But to snatch the title they had to rely on Notts AC finishing out of the top two for the first time this season.
And Reading not only won Saturday's match, but Leeds pushed Notts into third place.
Yet at one stage the Palmer Park side were trailing the host club by 10 points.
However, that changed when Opara won the shot with a putt of 13.18m to retain her unbeaten record in the league, while Webb took the B-string with a personal best of 10.26m.
The day had started well for Reading with Caroline Parkinson winning the pole vault with a leap of 3.20m.
Charlotte Gorman, who gave up her ticket for an Olympics event in order to compete at Leeds, has gone from strength to strength since making her UK League debut a month ago and she finished third in the long jump with a pb of 4.88m, while Pippa Rogan was fourth in the B-string with 4.76m.
Only 30cm separated the two Reading girls in the hammer with Julie Wilson (30.90cm) finishing fourth in the A string and Opara (30.60cm) third in the B-string.
In the opening event, Beki Taylor was fifth in the 400m hurdles in 69:98sec, with Lee Fellowes second in the B-string with 83.87sec.
Amy Bond, running an aggressive race, was second in the 800m in 2:13.70, only being passed in the final straight. Sue Francis was fourth in the B-string in 2:36.73.
Reading took maximum points in the 100m, with Shelley Bowen romping home in 12.47sec and Zara Bennett winning the B-race in 13.18.
Julie Wilson was soon back in field event action, joining Charlotte Webb in the discus circle. Both struggled with their distances early on, but picked up in the late rounds to secure vital points. Charlotte was third in the A string with 32.30m, while Wilson threw 30.88m to win the B-string.
A leap of 1.65m earned Pippa Rogan second place in the high jump and April Taylor cleared the bar at 1.60m to take first place in the B-event.
Rachel Rajkumar, in the outside lane, finished seventh in a hotly-contested 400m A-string and Beki Taylor was fourth in the B-race.
Rachel Phillips was fourth in the A-string of the 3,000m and a strong finish saw Sue Francis snatch second spot in the B-string.
Lee Fellowes and Helen Buckley contested the 100m hurdles, finishing fifth in the A-string and fourth in the B-string respectively.
Halfway through the meeting it was a three-way battle between Reading, Leeds and Notts, but the latter then started to slip behind their two rivals.
Meryl Austin was sixth in the triple jump, while recent training partner Charlotte Gorman was second in the B-string with 9.22m.
Back on the track, Bowen showed strength in the final 40m to win the 200m in 25.6 and Zara Bennett was second home in the B-event in 27.5.
The 1,500m saw a fast-finishing Amy Bond take fourth in 4:50.69 for 4thA and Sarah Wilkins finished third in t he B-race with 5:10.45.
But when Leeds won both strings of the 1,500m Reading found themselves trailing the home club by 10 points.
However, that deficit was quickly reduced by shot putt duo Opara and Webb.
The 4x100 relay was next on track and the quartet of Rogan, Bennett, Rajkumar and Bowen finished second in 51.1, while Leeds trailed home in the fifth place.
With three events remaining, Reading were just a point behind the Yorkshire team. But they took the lead in the 2,000m steeplechase thanks to six points from Anna Boniface, who finished third in the event where Leeds had no runner.
Laura Pearce took third place in the A-string of the javelin with a throw of 30.75m and Helen Buckley was just 5cm behind her, giving her victory in the B-string.
This meant Reading headed into the 4x400m with a six-point lead, but knowing that Leeds were likely to take the nine points by winning the race.
Amy Bond soon put Reading in a strong position, with the Taylor sisters Emma and Beki Taylor maintaining it before handing over to Bowen.
The club's senior captain ran a gutsy final leg to bring the team home fourth, which left Reading three points ahead of Leeds in the team event.
They were champions of Division 3, repeating the club's achievement of 2007. However, this year the league was stronger, with Leeds and Notts providing stiff opposition in all three matches.

So in total, this is a good book for taking ME thermo 1and 2. I think it was necessary for my understanding of the material and I would recommend this book to anyone especially if you do not have the best professor.
This copy of the book does not contain the helpful conversion tables and other information on the front and back inside covers I noticed on some of my peers copies of this book. My professor kept referencing the information on the back inside cover, and mine are blank. I contacted McGraw Hill (the publisher) and they stated they have not made any changes to any of the printing runs of the Eighth Edition. Every book McGraw Hill has printed of this Eighth Edition includes the conversion charts and tables on the inside of the front and back covers. Four people in my class ordered this same book from Amazon, and we all have the same problem. This book is a knock-off version.

Call to tighten admissions to primaries as over 1,500 are shown to be highly socially selective
Over 1,500 English primary schools have complicated oversubscription criteria that result in intakes that are socially very different to their local neighbourhoods, meaning many disadvantaged pupils could be missing out on places at top-performing state schools. This is according to Caught Out, a new Sutton Trust research brief by Dr Rebecca Allen and Meenakshi Parameshwaran of Education Datalab, published before thousands of parents across the country find out at which primary school their child has been offered a place.
Today's findings raise concerns about equity in access to primary schools, either because higher-income families are more likely to be able to exercise choice or because their admissions criteria favour certain pupils.
The report looked at the difference between the proportion of disadvantaged pupils in a school's intake and that of its local neighbourhood to establish how socially selective it is. They found considerable variation in how much primary school intakes diverge from their local neighbourhood but the top 10% most socially selective primary schools have a proportion of disadvantaged pupils that are at least 9.2 percentage points different than the communities they serve. There are 1,576 schools in this category, with 310,000 pupils.
This could be hurting poorer children's chances of success. Caught Out identifies correlations between a school's performance and its socially selectivity. Just 1% of schools in the bottom 10% for performance in Key Stage 2 tests are also in the top 10% most socially selective schools. In contrast, 14% of schools in the top 10% for Key Stage 2 are also in the top 10% of socially selective schools.
The most socially selective primary schools tend to use more complex oversubscription criteria than the typical school, which uses about five criteria. These are often faith-based which gives greater choice of school to churchgoing families, who are more likely to be of a higher social class. Of the 100 most socially selective primary schools identified by the brief, one used as many as 18 different oversubscription criteria.
The research brief identifies the 20 local authorities that have the biggest proportion of schools in the top 10% most socially selective primary schools. These include Blackpool, Hartlepool, Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham. Outside London particularly, this appears to be a result of faith-based admissions policies in voluntary aided, particularly Catholic, schools in these towns. Proximity to the school tends to fall relatively far down the list of oversubscription criteria for these schools, as they prioritise baptised children living further away.
Previous Sutton Trust research has shown that the majority of successful comprehensives and grammar schools have significantly lower intakes of disadvantaged pupils than in the numbers in their local communities.
The report calls for tighter admissions policies to make sure that disadvantaged pupils have fair access to their local primary schools. It recommends that:
– Schools should consider the impact of their oversubscription criteria on disadvantaged pupils and prioritise them accordingly.
– Religious schools should make more places open to the local community with simple and consistent admissions criteria that are fair to all.
– To prevent cheating by parents and poor practice in schools, the Schools Admissions Code must be properly enforced.
Sir Peter Lampl, Chairman of the Sutton Trust and of the Education Endowment Foundation, said: "Disadvantaged young people should have the same chance of accessing the best state school in their neighbourhood as their better off neighbour. We have previously documented social selectivity in secondary schools, but today's findings warn us that primary school admissions are far from a level-playing field. We need to make sure that oversubscribed schools do more to prioritise pupils from disadvantaged homes and the Schools Adjudicator does more to prevent parents from gaming the system."
Dr Becky Allen, Director of Education Datalab, said: "There are many benefits to giving parents a choice over where their child is educated, but our new research shows that that there is not equity in access to many primary schools, either because higher-income families are advantaged in their ability to exercise choice or because their admissions criteria favour certain pupils."
1. The Sutton Trust is a foundation set up in 1997, dedicated to improving social mobility through education. It has published over 170 research studies and funded and evaluated programmes that have helped hundreds of thousands of young people of all ages, from early years through to access to the professions.
2. For this research, we defined a small areas – the lower layer super output area (SOA) – as being part of a primary school's recruitment neighborhood if at least five pupils have attended the school within the last five years (2010 – 2014). Since primary school intakes are small we looked at five years of reception year intakes to stabilise the data. To measure social divergence between school and neighborhood, we calculated the school's percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) over five reception cohorts and compared it to the % of pupils eligible for FSM in the school's recruitment neighborhood. So, for example, if a school has intakes where 16% of pupils are eligible for FSM, yet 25% of pupils living in the recruitment neighborhoods are FSM then we assigned a social divergence value of -9 percentage points.
3. The Sutton Trust has previously published research on admissions to comprehensive schools highlighting the social selectivity of some comprehensives and grammar schools. See Selective Comprehensives and Poor Grammar. Our Parent Power? report detailed how some parents cheat the admissions system.

Q: ¿Cómo ignorar columnas de texto de un fichero en C? Estoy tratando de guardar la información de una fichero en un arreglo en C, pero tengo problemas ya que en el archivo vienen strings que no son de mi interés y quisiera saber si hay forma de ignorarlos, he hecho ejercicios parecidos pero dónde solo venian números en el fichero y los agregaba a una matriz de la siguiente forma:
FILE *fichero;
fichero = fopen("ejemplo.txt","r");
if (fichero == NULL)
{
  printf("\nNo se puede abrir el fichero.");
    return -1;
}
fscanf(fichero, "%d", &largo);
int matriz[largo][largo];
while(1)
{
  if (feof(fichero))
      break;
    for (int i = 0; i < largo; ++i)
    {
      for (int j = 0; j < largo; ++j)
      {
        fscanf(fichero,"%d\n", &matriz[i][j]);
      }
    }
}

eso me servia para archivos donde me daban el largo y solo los números pero ahora tengo uno así:
row1 1 2 4 6
row1 3 2 3 7
row1 4 3 7 6 2
row2 2 3 5 6 4
row2 1 1 8
row2 5 3 4 4 4
row3 1 4 3 2 3 5
row3 6 1 7
row3 7 1 9

Quisiera saber si hay una forma de ignorar la columnas de "rowX" para agregar solo los números a un arreglo

A: Creo haber entendido tu problema, pero ..., en el archivo por en algunas líneas hay mas números que en otras, lo resolví reemplazando por ceros cuando no hay mas números dispibles en una línea.
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
    int largo;
    FILE *fichero;
    fichero = fopen("ejemplo.txt","r");
    if(fichero == NULL)
    {
        printf("\nNo se puede abrir el fichero.");
        return -1;
    }
    fscanf(fichero, "%d", &largo);
    char line[256];
    int  matriz[largo][largo];
    while(1)
    {
        if(feof(fichero))
            break;
        for(int i = 0; i < largo; ++i)
        {
            char* p = line;

            // Leer línea
            fgets(line, 256, fichero);

            // Saltear caracteres iniciales
            p += 5;

            for(int j = 0; j < largo; ++j)
            {
                int n;
                if(*p == '\0' || *p == '\n')
                {
                    // Si no hay mas dígitos, user el cero por default
                    n = 0;
                }
                else
                {
                    // Transformar dígitos a entero
                    n = atoi(p);

                    // Salear dígitos
                    while(isdigit(*p))
                        p++;

                    // Saltear espacios
                    while(isspace(*p))
                        p++;
                }
                matriz[i][j] = n;
            }
        }
    }
}
