Occupy Philly Still Standing Strong
Posted 8 years ago on Nov. 28, 2011, 12:06 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Though ordered by the city to leave yesterday and threatened with arrest, Occupy Philly remains peacefully assembled. For background on the situation in Philly, see our earlier post.
10:54pm EST: Still there, still peaceful, still no arrests.
7:15pm EST: Still at Dilworth! General Assembly underway.
6:53pm EST: Police presence reported to be thinning.
5:43pm EST: Police are blocking off public park. Occupy Philly still urging supporters to gather, bring cameras!
4:40pm EST: More police are reported seen massing near the plaza, but have not yet made any attempt to evict. Occupy Philly is still holding strong at Dilworth, planning to hold General Assembly!
12:58pm EST: Occupy Philly will be gathering at 4pm today at Dilworth Plaza**, not at Rittenhouse Square. Please come out and support us as we make plans for the future of our movement in Philly.
12:32pm EST: According to Twitter report, power has been shut off at Occupy Philly this morning.
11:03am EST: From a Facebook post:
"Our eviction party last night started off at 5pm with about a thousand supporters and an open mic about what kind of world we want to live in. Then we had a dance party, a conga line to Thomas Paine Plaza, and a 5am march against traffic to Rittenhouse Square, where we strolled past police cars at every entrance. Eviction didn't happen, but a lot of fun did! Please go to Occupy Philly to support and relieve people who've been up ALL NIGHT holding the space against the eviction!! We called Nutter's bluff and are still going strong! Much love crew!!! And come and join us tonight." SEE PHOTOS: OccupyPhilly on Facebook

Why are we occupying Philadelphia?
I've asked protesters this question many times and the best response I could get is that 'It is part of the movement'.
So does that mean I should go Occupy my local city because it is part of the movement? How about occupy jobs? How about occupy careerbuilder? How about Occupy A DESK?
WAHHH WAHH, I want people to be equal, WAHH WAHH, I don't think it is right for others to have more than me.
Really? Well then go change your life for yourself. You really think America is going to listen to young people who have barely worked and think they are entitled to something? You must be delirious. Go get a job, move up, and change the world from within the confines of NORMAL PEOPLE.
I'm so tired of hearing this crap about how so little jobs are available. Yet I go out for 2 weeks in the BIGGEST city in America (NYC for those of you without a college education) and find myself a job right in the city that pays me enough to live in Manhattan. And no, I didn't attend some Ivy League school.. I attended community college. I got the job because I busted my ass for interviews, conserved money, and chose not to complain about what isn't fair.
Because face it.. you live in AMERICA. Of course not everything is FAIR, but you are a hell of a lot more fortunate to be here than most other places.

Best comment I've seen on this site yet! Nobody wants to start at the bottom of the corporate ladder anymore. They want to graduate college and immediately want a job earning $100,000. Sorry, that's not how it works. There's plenty of jobs out there. I was on Craigslist today and there is tons of jobs. The problem is these people wouldn't dare take a job for $10 or $15 an hour, while they looked for a better job. They feel they should make the big bucks right away. Good luck!!!

About the student loans, how can you complain about it without understanding money? When you took out a loan (years back) the income (money) you had bought you more food, gas rent, anything else. The amount of the loan does not change because of inflation (tax). If was adjusted fro inflation the loan would be smaller. This is a deliberately complicated con game so get yourself educated on it. Look for the essay "Egalitarianism and inflation" by Ayn Rand. Would make you shift your emphasis on the real WS. the "Federal" Reserve.

Occupy Philly should move to a different location. Not because the mayor asked, but because of its more unique situation.
The construction project which will be going on there! In my own opinion, we shouldn't block people from having a "job" and if that is what were doing by sitting in a park?
Why not choose a different location? So that at least the construction crew can work and support their families and as a whole we can continue to convey our message without becoming highly criticized or scrutinized by the public eye due to the fact that we staid denying those workers their right to work and make a paycheck.
Yes i understand theirs plenty more work for them.
Yes i understand that doesn't mean we've forced them to lose a job
However the public's point of view can be a harsher one than the understanding that this is not a nail in the coffin for whom ever is working on that construction project.

project.. no bid conctract... croneyism deal... and the jobs were created for a few lucky union workers will make some money for a few months on wasted tax payer dollars... create jobs.. create jobs create jobs.... if i hear one person say that again... they are getting knocked out... creating public sector jobs out of thin air for no skill havin' lazy arses is not sustainable .... Dilworth Plaze Project = waste of money
What is it with you people? You are so entranced in your own little worlds that you have lost total disregard for others around you. A few lucky union workers? So let me get this right.. you'd rather have NO union workers with a job than some? 'No skill havin' lazy arses'? And what exactly is it that the protesters do? Work 9-5 jobs like the rest of us? It is people in the movement like you who make me SICK. This isn't an ALL or NOTHING country. Life isn't fair, not everything is perfect. Take the jobs where they are offered and work to find new ones. Then change the system from within. Stop bitching about what others have that you don't and do something about it besides preventing every day people from going to work. The '1%' as you call them are laughing at you as we speak. They're saying to themselves, 'If they want jobs so badly, why are they wasting their time blocking others from having them?'

A number of activists have expressed frustration that more people aren't getting involved and flooding the streets. Some argue people are generally too stupid to understand. But there is another way to look at it- as hope declines all people have left is denial and avoidance. All they feel they can do is drop out and turn on the television.

Haha. Yeah. The people are not joining the revolution. If you read any revolutionary from Western Europe in the 1960s they had the same problem. They couldn't find a way around it, declared themselves to be the revolutionary vanguard and eventually resorted to terrorism.
Sorry. The people aren't stupid and they are upset with the status quo. You just aren't offering any actual solutions that they can embrace.

How about get money out of politics? Isn't the solution to that complaint fairly obvious? A prohibition on corporate donations coupled with a limit on private donations of $1000 per individual (or something similar), ensuring that the 1% can never outspend the 99%.... and as an added bonus worthless fence-sitting no-substance politicians who can't manage to keep people interested wouldn't be able to get enough money to run their campaign.
I think the larger problem is that the MSM keeps repeating over and over "they have no clear demands" "they have no clear demands" "they have no clear demands... and no solutions."
Most people are intelligent, but lets be honest they have no interest in politics, little conception about how politics affect their lives, and what little they do understand comes from the distorted 30 second news bites presented by the MSM.
The situation isn't hopeless, as long as people continue to stay in the streets keeping the issue alive, and educating others, the movement will continue to grow; and that is exactly what the establishment is afraid of.

If campaign finance reform was the one major and central demand OWS would have a good shot at success. I agree that this is the primary reason why our system is messed up. People would easily understand this issue and many more would join. The problem is that it is lost in the litany of other complaints. Some people are running around demanding revolution while others want to ban capitalism. There is no group/leaders that can formulate an actual proposal that will be taken seriously.
That's a valid point, there are a lot of divergent views; but the similarities are easy enough to spot. Campaign finance is the keystone, because without it there is no democratic system operating in the interests of the people; and things will simply never change.
IMO the Litany of complaints really stem from the same source, the intersection of corporate influence and government corruption, and the fact that its been a problem for so many years.
Once democracy returns, perhaps we can move onto other things like a debate as to whether a more equitable system involves more government intervention or less government intervention.
I think what is clear tho, is that if the status quo remains; the misery manifesting as OWS will just be the beginning, and we'll see whether spooked politicians turn America into a totalitarian police state, or whether the people successfully take it back.

Very well put. There has not been a solution to the problems. So now it looks almost like a tantrum.

No, the majority are not stupid just brainwashed! A lot do not even realize the trouble the US is in and the corruption because they are to busy with their lives as they know it and their stuff because all they watch is main stream (brainwashing) media. They need to be shown reality and realize that it will take 100% of the 99% to straighten out the crooks in our government, financial and insurance systems. Solutions? Fire, evict, change laws in our government ... why do we have to come up with solutions? Let's see what is the population of the 99% and how would that population look standing in front of the White House demanding change? Or we can just wait for the whole economy to collapse then they will wake up!
The majority have never and will never join any movement. Pretending otherwise is stupid. You have to come up with simple, clear solutions so that your movement has any shot at actually making a change in the system. There is energy in the movement but it is directed everywhere and nowhere. Given an actual proposal you have a shot at forcing it through government.

As I mentioned in my article "The Transition Phase: The Road to Freedom" we have to expect that the police are going to make things difficult for the Occupy Movement. It is, however, important to think in long term perspective. On the way to a free, democratic, egalitarian and just society we must continue the fight no matter what. We have to expect lots of opposition from the elites and their supporters and servants. Not only do we have to expect and prepare ourselves for media-propaganda, we also have to expect more police brutality. Its a natural reaction of the finacial elite who will become more and more scared of the movement(s) as they grow. The state and government are often very servile to the wealthy finacial elite, especially in the US where the wealthy more or less control policies. The police is a tool of the business-run, or business-influenced state to try to crush the ones who want to take back from the wealthy what has been stolen thru bailouts, exploitation and speculation at the stock exchange. The elites are starting to feel threatened, they want to keep all that they have stolen, so naturally they want to stop The Occupy Movement and anyone else involved in the struggle with police force. These tendencies are however an indication that we´re on the right track: The elites are getting scared, and react by increasing their effort in trying to crush movements. The finacial elite will however fail. Police brutality is counter-productive, it just leads to more support and sympathy for people engaged in the struggle among the general population.The Occupy Movement should, as I mentioned in the article, react with non-violent means including an increasing number of strikes; sit-down strikes, local general strikes, all of´em.

Q&A with Associate Professor of English Literature Rachel Buurma '99
April 8th, 2015 Mark Anskis
"At its best, digital humanities work helps students think critically and creatively about the role of digital technology in their academic work, their social lives, and their professional futures," says Associate Professor of English Literature Rachel Buurma '99.
Beginning on Thurs., April 9, Swarthmore College will host Re:Humanities, a two-day annual national digital humanities conference for undergraduates, pioneered and organized by students of the Tri-Co colleges (Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Haverford). The first national digital humanities conference of its kind, Re: Humanities is now in its fifth year and will feature undergraduate presentations, lectures, and keynote addresses from cutting-edge digital humanists Wendy Hsu and Whitney Trettien. Hsu will present "Enacting Humanist Possibilities: From the Academy to the Publics," while Trettien will give a talk, "Destroying the Book to Come."
Helping lead Swarthmore's digital humanities' effort is Associate Professor of English Literature Rachel Sagner Buurma '99. A digital humanist since her days in graduate school, Buurma teaches and researches in the areas of 18th- and 19th-century literature and is Swarthmore's liaison to the Tri-Co Digital Humanities initiative.
Q: What are digital humanities?
A: The digital humanities use digital technologies, techniques, and methods to do humanities work. We often think of what has come to be called "distant reading" as the most characteristic form of DH (digital humanities) – data-mining sets of 10,000 novels for evidence that might help us learn new about fiction, or mapping millions of datapoints extracted from a corpus of government documents or ships' logs to help us reinterpret a historical narrative we thought we knew well. But DH also includes using humanities methods and interpretive frames to think about digital culture and the effect of technology on society; the Critical Making Twitterbot workshop this past fall offered one demonstration of this kind of work. More broadly, histories and theories of social media fall into this category.
Q: Is this a new approach to learning?
A: There's a long history of computer-assisted humanities – since the 1960s scholars have been using computation to ask and answer questions about literature and history. And scholars have been doing "distant readings" of texts for much longer. In the early 2000s, the phrase "digital humanities" started to become popular. But many of us use these techniques and frameworks without even thinking of ourselves as doing DH work.
Q: How does this approach help students?
A: At its best, digital humanities work helps students think critically and creatively about the role of digital technology in their academic work, their social lives, and their professional futures. It's one thing to do research for a religious studies paper using a digital archive; it's another to be able to to be able to determine the digital archive's capacities as well as the assumptions, or the inclusions and exclusions, built into both the database and its interface. And it's still another thing to be able to take information out of a database and re-organize it in new and creative ways. Digital humanities helps students learn how to do all of those things, as well as much more.
Q: How can students get involved?
A: They can contact me or Nabil Kashyap, Swarthmore's digital initiatives librarian, to join our email lists, and they can check the Tri-Co DH website for announcements. We have lots going on in April, and will have a new set of events in the fall.
There are more and more Swarthmore faculty DH projects involving students. Professor of History Allison Dorsey's Black Liberation 1969 class created the truly remarkable Black Liberation 1969 Archive, which is a model for both digital scholarship and project-based pedagogy; Assistant Professor of English Literature Lara Cohen has students working on a digital editions project in collaboration with the Library Company of Philadelphia; Associate Professor of Russian Sibelan Forrester has students involved in making tools for tracking multiple translations of Russian texts; Visiting Assistant Profesor of Art History Tom Morton teaches a class on digital Rome; Professor of History Tim Burke teaches a class on histories of digital cultures; my Victorian informatics class thinks about the long history of literature as information and involves critical approaches to digital tools, and my Rise of the Novel class, starting in Fall 2015, will involve a text-mining component networked with several other classes at other universities – all related to my own digital bibliography project, the Early Novels Database.
Swarthmore's SPEED program has been another great source of DH projects involving faculty, staff, and students. More broadly, Information Technology Services and the libraries have been engines for creating and supporting these new programs and classes. Academic Technologist Andrew Ruether '94 and I are even collaborating on a media archeology project to help students think about communication history by constructing a telegraph that uses Morse code to send Twitter messages. That's a lot, and it just scratches the surface of what has been happening at Swarthmore in the past year.
Q: Have approaches in digital humanities changed due to shifts in digital media?
A: One of the things that digital humanities do well is help students think critically about the rapid pace of technological change. And as digital technology becomes more pervasive in all aspects of our lives, this kind of thinking is more and more important. Sometimes we imagine that digital technologies or techniques are the province of only certain disciplines, but that's not true in everyday life and it shouldn't be true in college. One thing digital humanities can do is show people that the construction of an antithesis between technology and humanities is a limited thinking about the world. And at Swarthmore, we're extraordinarily lucky to have a Computer Science Department that is interested in and supportive of DH work; many computer science faculty are involved various DH initiatives, projects, and programs. This, believe it or not, is not the case at all institutions!
Q: What do you like best about the Re:Humanities conference?
A: It opens a window into the next generation of digital humanities work; the students presenting at this conference are from all over the country, and their work represents many of the newest and most exciting developments in DH. Another impressive thing about the conference is that it is really student-run; the Tri-Co Digital Humanities student working group truly makes the conference happen.
Tri-Co Digitial Humanities programming continues on Weds., April 22, when Stephen Downie from the Hathi Trust Research Center will give a public talk and host workshops for faculty, students, and staff on how to incorporate text-mining tools in teaching and research.

Gone are the days when Northern Ireland was at the nucleus of troubles and conflict. This beautiful country has recovered from much of the turbulence and now it's their turn to shine. From its cosmopolitan capital that oozes culture and vibrancy and the walled city of Derry where museums help to give visitors insight into 'the troubles', to the stunning landscapes of the surrounding counties, Northern Ireland has something for everyone. Take a look at these five highlights and start planning your break so that you can experience it for yourself.
Book into one of the affordable Travelodge hotels and spend a day or two exploring this vibrant capital. Birthplace of Titanic, Belfast is home to a number of sights and attractions which will keep you busy, including the Titanic Belfast museum, plenty of Victorian architecture to ogle and top notch shopping, dining and entertaining experiences.
The 17th century walls that are home to 24 restored cannon are a must for anyone visiting this historic city. It's also home to the award-winning Tower museum, which helps visitors to truly understand past conflicts.
If legend is correct, Irish giant – Finn MacCool – built the causeway from basalt columns to reach Scotland, so that he and his Scottish rival could meet. Whether you think this is true or not, it's still a sight to behold, and is now a World Heritage Site and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Join the Causeway Coastal Route for a chance to see this, and many other stunning parts of the Northern Irish landscape.
These glorious mountains are said to have helped inspire CS Lewis when he was writing The Chronicles of Narnia. Understandably so! If you're a lover of the great outdoors, this is a great place to start.
If you're looking for something a little different, head to County Fermanagh, where you'll find the Marble Arch Caves. Join the boat tour, before continuing on foot, through a rabbit warren of underground grottoes, past waterfalls, rivers and stalagmites aplenty.
These five attractions don't even scrape the surface when it comes to Northern Ireland – plan your visit and see what else you can find to fill your unforgettable itinerary.
This is a PR collaberation.
After reading this I really want to go now, seems like there is so much history there!

A tabletop garden is a wonderful place to grow edible flowers, herbs, and other salad fixings, right outside your back door.
This tabletop garden is great for growing kitchen herbs and greens without having to bend over.
After a series of back surgeries, I thought I would no longer be able to grow my own greens. But then my husband created a tabletop garden for me from an old workbench that had belonged to my father. The bench was originally made from a section of laminated wood saved from a bowling alley. It's strong and stands up to the harsh Maine winters. The 8-inch boards around the edge of the grow box are secured with screws and angle iron to prevent warping. The base of the table has holes drilled every 4 inches to allow excess water to seep through.
The garden bench has a drawer for gardening tools and gloves, and an extended board allows me to hang my favorite watering can where it can be reached easily. The bottom shelf is great to store extra pots and watering cans. I used a solid stain to paint the table, and even with constant watering, it has not peeled. On the side, I stenciled "Herbs and Edibles" so all would know the flowers in the grow box could be enjoyed in a salad as well!
Each year I use a mixture of soil and dehydrated manure to ensure lush growth for the plants. It's amazing how much produce this garden yields. Even though my back is healed, I continue to appreciate the ease of tabletop gardening and have no intentions of planting my herbs anywhere else.
Each year my garden grow box has a different "personality," and I have chronicled these changes in a photo scrapbook. Recording which herbs and edibles grow most successfully helps me develop a plan for the next season. Regardless of the yearly choices I make, the result is always the same: a delightful array of the salads and garnishes I love to serve during our short Maine summer.

straw man argument
And The Latest Desperate Rationalization As Abortion Advocates Search For A Persuasive Argument To Justify Allowing Pregnant Women The Unilateral Right To End Another Human Being's Life Is….
December 16, 2021 December 16, 2021 / Jack Marshall	/ 9 Comments
…..this intellectually dishonest opinion piece by Kate Cohen in the Washington Post. It is titled "How would you feel if your mother had aborted you?' Easy. I'd feel nothing," and embodies several themes in the abortion-loving Left's escalating freak-out over the very real possibility that Roe v. Wade will be overturned or limited by the current Supreme Court.
One theme is that that abortion advocates almost unanimously continue to avoid dealing with the other human party in the equation whose interests are at stake: the unborn human being. Another is using collateral attacks on religion and faith to minimize the belief by religious people that it's wrong beyond question to kill an innocent individual for the benefit of a more powerful one. The third…
Well, let me address the second a bit again. Progressives are largely hostile to religion and the religious, whom they regard as unsophisticated, superstitious rubes. Since people tend to project their biases and attitudes on others, those who want open season on fetuses think they score points by linking the anti-abortion side of the debate to something they think is ridiculous. It is not a genuine argument but rather a cognitive dissonance trick. They are counting on a someone conflicted about the abortion debate being pulled to their side by the association with a different subject they regard with contempt. It is the same kind of tactic as using "The Handmaiden's Tale" as a false map for the dystopian future abortion fans claim awaits if Roe goes down: linking abortion to something horrible, even a science fiction story, will diminish the appeal of the anti-abortion position, not with logic or reason, but with a negative association alone.
I have a difficult time not concluding that those using the anti-religion, association tactic are malign people because of their association with it. The belief that killing an innocent human being is wrong isn't only a religious belief and bedrock moral tenet. It is basic ethics as well, a conclusion virtually all societies have accepted based on human experience. That's where ethics comes from: one doesn't have to be religious to strongly object to killing human beings, indeed religion isn't necessary to reach that conclusion at all. Whether one reaches the position that legal abortion consists of one powerful human being who has had the opportunity to live ending that opportunity for a weaker human being for her own sole benefit and is therefore wrong, through religion, Kant, Rawls, basic ethical analysis, logic, common sense or some other path is irrelevant. You got there. Congratulations. It's the ethical place to be.
A Response To "Comment Of The Day: 'Ethics Escape, 8/24/2020: The Not Watching The GOP Convention Edition. Item #3, Fetal Research Ban'"
August 28, 2020 August 28, 2020 / Jack Marshall	/ 33 Comments
I promised a response to Chris Marschner's provocative Comment Of The Day on Item #3 in the post, "Ethics Escape. 8/24/2020: The "Not Watching The GOP Convention" Edition. Here it is…
Chris begins,"Before I go any farther, I believe that fetal tissue is crucial to research." That's an excellent stipulation; I concur. Thus we agree that obtaining fetal tissue is beneficial, and an objective with positive value for society.
That leaves as the sole issue for ethical debate as whether using the source of such tissue creates such a counterbalancing negative effect that the positive effect, which has been conceded, is overcome and rendered moot.
Chris says he "can see an argument in favor of the Board's decision to deny access to such tissues." I can see the arguments; I wouldn't make the arguments. I'm assuming Chris not only sees them but agrees with them to some extent. Chris goes on,
I may agree with Turley that such research use of fetal tissue does not incentivize women to have abortions. However ,I do believe it incentivizes sellers of such tissues. Such sales make a commodity of aborted fetal tissues and the of other human tissue donations; this is not some far-fetched fear. Do we want to be like China, which forcibly removes kidneys so that others can have a transplant?
I don't think "may" is reasonable here. Professor Turley states unequivocally that women do not have abortions to harvest fetal tissue, and while it is impossible to prove a negative, there is literally no evidence that indicates this is a problem. Hospitals sell medical waste, including organs for transplant. Chris's logict applies with equal force to all things removed from patients, who have a right to deny the medical institution from selling it or using them themselves. The patients, by law, cannot sell their tissues and organs themselves, however, and few choose to take the items home as souvenirs. Almost all the time, patients let health care providers dispose of such things as they see fit, and why wouldn't they?
The "Coma" scenario, where doctors intentionally kill patients to harvest and profit from their organs, has been around for decades, (The Robin Cook novel was written in 1973.) It just hasn't materialized, and in the case of fetal tissue, nobody would be killed, in the eyes of the law, if medical professionals were selling it as profit center. The argument is a straw man, a separate theoretical problem related to the issue being discussed, but not strictly relevant. In this it is like the anti-cloning debate. Opponents of cloning worry about how the technology might be abused, but that's a downstream issue. There is nothing inherently unethical about cloning, just as there is nothing inherently unethical about using fetal tissue for research. If unethical practices emerge, you deal with them directly, not by eliminating the otherwise neutral or beneficial process that creates the opportunity for abuse.
Imagine a society that becomes insensitive to the concept of the sanctity of life. It is not outside the realm of possibility that we could begin to allow doctors to withhold life saving but costly treatments in order hasten the demise of a potential donor.
The first sentence is irrelevant in the context of this discussion because, via Roe v. Wade, the law of the land does not acknowledge fetuses as human life. I think Roe was and is a terrible decision; I am certain that the pro-abortion position that unborn children are like warts or parasites is intellectually dishonest and a belief made necessary by the political objective of abortion access rather than justified by reality, but that doesn't matter. The U.S. position isn't insensitive to the sanctity of human life because society and the culture, through the courts, have absorbed the legal fiction that fetuses are not human life. If and when that fiction is rejected—personally, I don't foresee it happening—then the sanctity of life issue becomes relevant. As for the rest of Chris's statement: that is happening already, thanks in part to the costs of treatment and the limits of insurance.
I won't say that doctors pressuring a family to take a brain-dead loved one off of life support because a 17-year old woman needs a heart and lung transplant stat is unethical. It theoretically violates Kant's Categorical Imperative, but Kant wasn't considering brain dead patients before such patients could be kept alive. This is when Utilitarian balancing is called for. "Are we willing to let doctors or insurers make that call to take the patient off the vent so he can become a heart donor? I certainly hope not, " Chris asks. Well, we don't, and shouldn't, but the input of those not emotionally involved in the decision is valuable.
Chris continues, Continue reading →
A Visit To "The Ethicist"
February 26, 2019 February 26, 2019 / Jack Marshall	/ 22 Comments
I haven't opined on posts by the current holder of The New York Times Magazine "The Ethicist" title as often as I used to, in part because Kwame Anthony Appiah, unlike his predecessors, is a real ethicist, and usually answers the questions to his ethics advice column competently. The February 18 column was especially interesting, however, because Appiah seemed to be ducking some issues. I don't blame him; two of the three questions he received have no clearly right ethical answer.
The one out of the three that was relatively easy was the anonymous inquirer who discovered that his company was willfully violating labor wage laws and under-reporting wages for workers' compensation purposes. "Should I report this company to the authorities?" The Ethicist was asked. My answer? YES. 1) Get a lawyer. 2) Document what you know and how you found out about it. 3) Quit. 4) Blow the whistle. "I hope you proceed. Obligations of confidentiality to your employer don't include the duty to conceal fraud," was Appiah's conclusion.
The other two questions are more problematical, especially the first: A correspondent asks what she should do with relatives in desperate financial straits who are begging for her money to bail them out. "I love my family, and it is extremely painful to see them suffer, but at the same time it is difficult for me to fund their lifestyles when they seem like a bottomless pit. I feel guilty and uncomfortable, but also angry and annoyed. Yet how can I watch my sister be thrown out of her house and potentially end up homeless if I have the resources to help her?"
The Ethicist ducks. First he says that the woman should try to train her relatives in financial management, even to the extent of actively managing their budgets. Right: THAT's going to work. His conclusion: "So the most important thing you and your brother can do is to be clear with her about what you are and are not willing to do if her grasshopper behavior brings her into financial difficulties. And that means first being clear about this matter yourself. Bear in mind that you owe more to family members than you do to strangers, but you don't owe it to them to abandon all your hard-earned plans in order to pay for their mistakes."
But that wasn't the question. Of course family members can't demand that you fix their financial mistakes. It isn't a matter of "owing" them, either. The Ethicist also cheats by resorting to a straw man: she didn't ask if she should "abandon all her hard-earned plans." She asked how she could sit back and watch them suffer when she had the resources to alleviate some of that suffering. Continue reading →
Comment Of The Day: Unethical Website Of The Month, "March For Our Lives" Edition: Change.Org [#1]
March 25, 2018 March 25, 2018 / Jack Marshall	/ 15 Comments
Here is JP's Comment of the Day on the post, Unethical Website Of The Month, "March For Our Lives" Edition: Change.Org:
I have largely been silent on the issue this time around. I have seen nothing that contributes to the debate and thought I had nothing to add since the Vegas incident. Mostly, if someone asks, I just refer them to my earlier points on why banning bump stocks and strengthening the Brady Law not will not change anything. However, it seems today my more liberal and conservative friends have been posting quite a bit on the subject and I thought now might be a good time to tackle the issue again by looking at problems on both sides and finding a solution.
First, let's start with some of the conservative talking points.
"If someone is determined to hurt people and commit a felony, what's to say that they won't break a law to get their hands on a gun to do it?"
This may be true, but it is doesn't move the dialogue forward and is often used deceptively. It is basically saying that since criminals don't obey laws, anyway, why have a law? By this logic, we could apply the following to Trump's desire to build a wall. Walls have not proven to be effective in stopping people wanting to come in, so why build a wall? I don't understand why conservatives who use this logic don't apply it elsewhere. Laws are largely there as deterrents. People will not do something because it is against the law regardless of how pointless they see it (I guess this is why I always get stuck behind that Kia doing 65 on the interstate). A psychologist found that most of the population is motivated to do things by one of two factors: sympathy and empathy. or law and order (I think this sums up the current gun debate).
"Cars kill more people than guns do, yet we don't ban cars."
This is a strawman argument, and not even good one. Cars are highly regulated, require an age limit, require a permit of sorts, a registration, require training and safety ((things the left claim to want for guns) and are designed for transportation, not to kill. They can and have been used to kill people, but that is not their primary purpose. In fact, it is a gross misuse of their purpose. The argument falls further apart because while you have a right to a gun, you do not have a right to own a car. The government could decide to remove all cars (for whatever reason); this is an apples to oranges comparison.

Morning Ethics Warm-Up, 2/3/18: On The Nunes Memo, The Times Flunks (Another) Integrity Check.
February 3, 2018 February 3, 2018 / Jack Marshall	/ 42 Comments
Cold Morning! I mean, Good Morning!
Anne Frank would still read The New York Times, I guess…
(Anne Frank belongs in the Ethics Alarms Heroes Hall of Honor. I will fix that with a post this month–she probably dies in February, 1945. Don't let me forget.)
1 "But you know what I sometimes think? I think the world may be going through a phase… It'll pass. – I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart." Or maybe not. I gathered up all my idealism and hope, and thought that maybe, just maybe, after the ugly and destructive lynch mob it has constituted for over a year to try to destroy the elected President, the mainstream news media, faced with incontrovertible evidence of frightening lawlessness and an attack on democracy by the previous administration in the midst of a Presidential campaign, would finally show some integrity and do its duty.
Then I read today's New York Times.
The headline: GOP MEMO LEADS TO FRESH JOUSTING ON RUSSIA INQUIRY.
Unbelievable. That's the news? That there is "fresh jousting"? The memo, as I accurately explained in the previous post, shows that the Obama administration's Justice Department knowingly used opposition research, funded by Obama's party and its Presidential candidate, that has substantially been discredited by the FBI, the same agency that represented it to the court, as evidence justifying a FISA warrant against an American citizen and a member of the opposing party's Presidential campaign and the Republican Presidential campaign itself.
I don't see any mention of the Russian collusion investigation in that sentence, but that sentence still suggests a serious scandal involving abuse of civil rights and tampering with the election by law enforcement and a partisan Justice Department. If the so-called "newspaper of record" was objective and trustworthy, some version of that sentence would have been its headline, not an intentionally misleading headline stating that the "news" just is more political "jousting."
Think about it: the Times is using a less interesting and provocative headline that the one that is justified by the facts. The only reason it would do this is misdirection born of a political agenda. No, Hanlon's Razon does not apply here. This is not incompetence. This is malice.
2. "It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. " Then there the Times editorials. Two days ago, the Times editors wrote this:
"In a demonstration of unbridled self-interest and bottomless bad faith, the Trump White House and its Republican minions in Congress are on the cusp of releasing a "memo" that purports to document the biggest political scandal since Watergate. To pull it off, they are undermining the credibility of the law enforcement community that Republicans once defended so ardently, on the noble-sounding claim that the American public must know the truth."
Again, unbelievable and yet too believable. Let's parse this one:
"In a demonstration of unbridled self-interest and bottomless bad faith,"
The Times thinks it is bad faith to inform the American public of undeniable misconduct by the FBI and the Justice Department regarding civil rights and the Presidential election. Sure.
"…the Trump White House and its Republican minions in Congress are on the cusp of releasing a 'memo'"
An ad hominem attack ("minions"), a partisan bias-based innuendo of dishonesty ( "purports to document") and a dishonest use of scare quotes around "memo," as if this wasn't a memo. It is a memo.
"…the biggest political scandal since Watergate."
A straw man trick, exploding an assertion into its most extreme form to knock it down. The facts are the facts, and how they are characterized by some is irrelevant to what the facts show. it may not be "the biggest political scandal since Watergate" when a Democratic administration uses opposition research its party paid to have done to defeat a Republican Presidential candidate to get court authorization to spy on that campaign during the campaign. You have to admit, though, that at least sounds a little like Watergate—Presidential campaign, administration interfering with the opposition campaign, dirt tricks, misuse of government power—no? Even a little bit like Watergate is bad enough, when government and law enforcement interference with Presidential campaigns is the issue.
"To pull it off, they are undermining the credibility of the law enforcement community that Republicans once defended so ardently, on the noble-sounding claim that the American public must know the truth."
Pull what off? That's another bit of rhetorical dishonesty implying wrongdoing by transparency, when transparency is not wrongdoing unless it is illegal (Wikileaks, James Snowden). Then we have the cynical tack I just wrote about:
"The argument against the memo and the issues it raises, that the public revelations demoralizes our intelligence community and undermines the public's support and trust is the same invalid logic being used to condemn criticism of the biased news media. If these institutions are not trustworthy and acting against the interests they are pledged to protect, then the public must know. If the conduct of the intelligence community shows that it isn't trustworthy, there is nothing wrong, and everything right, about exposing it."
How does the fact that the Republicans once defended the law enforcement community "ardently" change the appropriateness and necessity of revealing wrongdoing they were not previously aware of? Finally, did I really read the New York Times editors mocking the proposition ("noble-sounding") that "the American public must know the truth"?
What a disgraceful, shocking, self-indicting paragraph. Continue reading →
John Kelly's Statement About General Lee And The Civil War Was Fair, Benign And Accurate, And The Historians And Journalists Claiming Otherwise Have Exposed Themselves And Their Professions, Not Kelly, And Not The President
November 1, 2017 November 1, 2017 / Jack Marshall	/ 94 Comments
[I'm sorry: this post is long. The provocation for it is serious, however, and I couldn't thoroughly shred this despicable media effort to make what John Kelly said yesterday something it was not and not even close to being without going over my word limit. I hope you read it. It's hard to try to counter a concerted effort to mislead and lie to the public from this tiny outpost.]
This development yesterday really depressed me. Either the leftward professions are losing their collective minds, or they are so dedicated to turning the public against the president that they will engage in complete fabrication. Both conclusions are frightening.
Yesterday, CNN reporter April Ryan thought it was appropriate to end a White House press briefing by shouting, "Sarah, is slavery wrong? Sarah, is slavery wrong? Does this administration think that slavery was wrong? Sarah, does this administration believe slavery was wrong?" What, other than a complete absence of fairness and professionalism, provoked this unethical outburst? It was this statement by Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly, as he was interviewed by Fox News' latest star, Laura Ingraham, regarding the The Confederate Statuary Ethics Train Wreck, specifically the Charlottesville controversy over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Here is Kelly's entire statement:
"I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man.He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country. It was always loyalty to state first back in those days. Now it's different today. But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand."
Based on that statement, April Ryan, and other hair-trigger "resistance" zealots, concluded that there was now a question whether the Trump administration "thinks slavery is wrong."
But such is the dishonest and biased state of the news media today.
Let's begin by examining the components of Kelly's statement.
A. "I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man."
There are no contemporary accounts from anyone who knew Lee that he was not honorable, meaning honest, moral, ethical, and principled, the usual synonyms for honorable. I doubt Kelly was using the word in its most literal sense, "worthy of honor," but he might have been, The argument is, and I would make it, that such traits a honesty, integrity, courage and other ethical values make any individual, famous or not, worthy of honor.
Lee was terribly, tragically wrong in his choice regarding which side to fight for during the Civil War. I am not an admirer of Lee for this reason. However, during his life there were many episodes where he exhibited exemplary character. His immediate acceptance of responsibility for the failure of Pickett's Charge was one, meeting his returning soldiers personally and exclaiming, "It was all my fault." Another was his insistence that the Confederate army surrender rather than take to the hills in guerrilla resistance that might have extended the Civil War indefinitely. Lee was flawed, and few men in history who were so admired by their contemporaries have made such a tragic mistake. That does not alter the fact that he was an honorable man.
The problem is that the modern Left does not believe that it is possible to be honorable and to not embrace the Left's most fervently held principles, even if you lived centuries ago. This is, in part, why our politics are so uncivil, and why partisans today show less respect to those with differing opinions on public policy than Lee and many of his generation showed to members of the enemy army who were trying to kill them.
B. "He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country. It was always loyalty to state first back in those days. Now it's different today."
This is a statement of fact. Lee's position was certainly consistent with Kelly's statement. In some kind of magic, un-negotiated conspiracy to take what Kelly said to mean something he emphatically did not say, one writer after another has claimed that Kelly was arguing that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Here, for example, is Vox:
"Though this view has long been promoted and even taught in schools around the country, there has been a new push to recognize the cause of the Civil War as rooted in a disagreement about slavery and the refusal of Southern states to give it up…"
Though what view? Kelly wasn't opining on the reason for the Civil War, or what was the root cause. He was talking about Robert E. Lee. Is there any question that if Virginia had decided not to secede—as of course it seceded over slavery—Lee would have fought with the Union? I have never read any historian or biographer who said otherwise. Here's Biography.com, usually an uncontroversial distiller of historical consensus in its Lee biography:
"But Lee's commitment to the Army was superseded by his commitment to Virginia. After turning down an offer from President Abraham Lincoln to command the Union forces, Lee resigned from the military and returned home. While Lee had misgivings about centering a war on the slavery issue, after Virginia voted to secede from the nation on April 17, 1861, Lee agreed to help lead the Confederate forces."
That's what Kelly said. Not every soldier thought that loyalty to state over country was the correct priority, and Kelly wasn't saying that Lee's position was the dominant one. It was a common one, however. 1861 was less than a hundred years after the culturally diverse Colonies came together to fight the American Revolution, and the states had been fighting over the balance of power between the federal and state governments almost non-stop ever since. Kelly was acknowledging the fact that Lee's extreme state loyalty seems odd today, when so many citizens live in several states during their lives, and move from one to another without giving it a second thought. 150 years ago, citizen bonds to the state of their birth was a far, far greater issue, and being asked to take up arms to fight against that state would have posed a wrenching dilemma for most Americans.
That is all Kelly said. If one doesn't understand the context of Lee's decision to fight on the same side as the defenders of slavery, then one cannot begin to assess Lee's status as an American figure. Anyone leaping from that statement to "the Civil War wasn't fought over slavery" is engaging in a clinical level of confirmation bias, and that's exactly where the attacks on Kelly are coming from. This statement, that doesn't mention slavery, isn't about the root cases of the Civil War, and that only explicates Robert E. Lee's overwhelming reason for fighting for the Confederacy, is being deliberately distorted to show that President Trump and others in his administration are apologists for racism. The fact that nothing in Kelly's words even hint at that didn't stop this example of mass race-baiting, based on air. Continue reading →
Snopes' Credibility Death Spiral: Presenting The Straw Man Fact-Check
August 31, 2017 / Jack Marshall	/ 27 Comments
Apparently the recent example of Snopes resorting to proving a "claim" false that nobody serious was claiming wasn't an anomaly, but a new strategy. Here, Ethics Alarms commenter Tippy Scales discussed the struggling urban-legend-turned-partisan-hack-site post in defense of ESPN's ridiculous removal of Asian -American Robert Lee from a football broadcast because he shared a first and last name with Robert E. Lee. Its spin: the accusation that "ESPN Fired Announcer Robert Lee Because His Name Sounds Like the Confederate General's? was wrong! Except that was not what happened, nor what critics of ESPM were objecting to.
Why would Snopes do this? Tippy opined that Snopes "couldn't stand having to confirm something that went against their worldview, so they invented a reason to avoid it." The real reason appears to be even worse than that. Snopes' current game is to mislead readers by convincing them that criticism from the right is dishonest and absurd, by searching for self-evidently idiotic accusations and then disproving them…which isn't difficult when the accusations were dredged up from the social media swamp by Snopes specifically to debunk.
Today's example is hilarious. Snopes:
Fact Check: Was Barack Obama President During Hurricane Katrina?
Twitter users tried to pin the blame for Katrina relief issues on Obama, though he wasn't even president when it hit New Orleans.
CLAIM: Barack Obama was president when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005.
ORIGIN: As damage from Hurricane Harvey continued to grow in Texas in late August 2017, some Twitter users sought to defend President Donald Trump's response to the disaster by criticizing the actions of his predecessor, Barack Obama during similarly pervasive flooding in Louisiana in 2016. Other users took that argument even further, knocking Obama for not "doing enough" to help Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina.
Professor Volokh's Ethics Dissent On The Vicious, Pazuzu-Blaming Professor's Firing
'Yes, I know he's an idiot, but we should support idiots as highly paid teachers of our children, for the protection of the non-idiots…'
Eugene Volokh is one of the best and most objective legal minds in the country. If he finds himself on the Supreme Court when Kennedy retires or Ginsberg shuffles off this mortal coil, we will not have suffered through the ugliness of the Trump years in vain. When he opines, I listen, as we all should, and he has now opined regarding the now fired idiot that I wrote about this morning, ex-University of Tampa visiting sociology professor Ken Storey.
Storey used Twitter, in the middle of the still-unfolding human disaster in Houston and soon New Orleans, to announce that flooding victims who were Trump supporters or Republicans deserved to die. He did this twice, so his later claim that his words did not intentionally convey what his words were obviously intended to convey was a desperate and obvious lie.
The university or college that fires an employee like Storey is protecting its reputation as a responsible institution, by stating in clear terms that people with terrible judgment and cruel and unethical instincts who are motivated by hate and intolerance are not qualified to teach….because they aren't. That professors increasingly have no ethics alarms beeping when the prepare to publish sentiments like Storey's (or worse) shows how thoroughly the leftist echo chambers of most campus faculties turn academics into Pat Robertson, which is to say, rigid, mean, and dumb. Once upon a time, liberals giggled themselves silly over the evangelical huckster's periodic pronouncement about how a disaster was God's way of punishing the U.S. for not abusing gays sufficiently, or similar bile, Now they do the same thing, and expect their colleagues and students to applaud.
Today, in the Washington Post, Professor Volokh advocates a different position:
Storey's comments were nasty and mean-spirited; and I should note that the University of Tampa is a private university, in a state that doesn't limit private employers' ability to fire employees for their speech. The university's actions thus seem legal (assuming they didn't breach any contract). And Storey's comments also weren't academic or likely to be part of a serious political debate.
But the university's action strikes me as further undermining the freedom of expression and debate at American universities, including the freedom to say things that are much more thoughtful. If you were an untenured faculty member at the University of Tampa, would you feel free to express your views on controversial subjects, when you saw how the university reacted to this tweet? Even if your views were very different politically, what do you think the University would do if people started pressuring for your dismissal, pointing to the Storey incident as precedent?
I've talked before about "censorship envy," one mechanism through which these sorts of speech restrictions can grow: "If my neighbor — and especially my political adversary — gets to ban speech he reviles," the thinking goes, "why shouldn't I get to do the same?"
If a university has a strong policy of protecting speech, including offensive speech, administrators can point to that policy as a means of resisting calls for firing a controversial faculty member, and they can appeal to people's desire to see speakers on their own side protected, and use that desire to help protect speakers on all sides. But once the university starts firing some people for speech "that do[es] not reflect [the university's] community views or values," that makes it much harder to resist calls for more suppression. Indeed, at that point tolerating speech starts implicitly conveying the message that the speech does reflect the university's community views or values — and to avoid that implication, the university would have to fire any speaker who offended some sufficiently influential constituency.
I am very confident that in this rare case, Prof. Volokh is dead wrong. Continue reading →
Comment Of The Day: "Morning Ethics Warm-Up: 8/23/17"
Like Baltimore removing its politically incorrect statues, here I am in the dead of night trying to catch up with the Ethics Alarms Comments of the Day.
By the way, of all the statues taken down and under attack, the one I can most sympathize with is that of Chief Justice Roger Taney. There is only one reason anyone remembers Taney, and only one thing a statute to him can symbolize: the Dred Scott decision, which he authored. Since it is, by acclamation, the single most disastrous Supreme Court decision in the nation's history, having a statue of Taney standing in front of the Maryland state house is difficult to defend.
Taney is something of a tragic figure. The rest of his judicial career was distinguished, but that is a bit like saying that the rest of that performance of "Our American Cousin" was terrific. He actually thought the Dred Scott decision would avert a civil war by settling the slavery question once and for all. He was not an evil man, just a horribly misguided one.
There is a street named after Taney in Alexandria. Every time I pass the sign, I think, "This is weird." Who defends the Dred Scott case? Who has defended it in the last 150 years?
Tippy Scales is an undercover journalist, registering his period disgust at the ethical collapse of his profession here because it is not safe to do so elsewhere. He filed this Comment of the Day two days ago, on the post, Morning Ethics Warm-Up: 8/23/17
(I've linked to the topics and posts he has referred to within his post.)

Congratulations To New York Times Reporters Glenn Thrush and Maggie Haberman, Winners Of The First Ethics Alarms "Popeye"
July 21, 2017 July 29, 2017 / Jack Marshall	/ 16 Comments
Now and then I see or read about something that seems too trivial for a post, but it gnaws on me and torments me, and I worry that, like Lewis Black's famous over-heard "if it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college," it will fester and eventually kill me.
I'm going to launch a new category for these things, the Popeye, in honor of the gruff spinach-eating sailor's quote that signaled a fight was coming, "That's all I can stands, cuz I can't stands no more!"
This morning, while reading this story by Times reporters Glenn Thrush and Maggie Haberman about the President gratuitously attacking his own Attorney General, I read this sentence…
"But even if Mr. Sessions remains in his job, the relationship between him and Mr. Trump — the Alabama lawyer and the Queens real estate developer, an odd couple bound by a shared conviction that illegal immigration is destroying America — is unlikely to ever be the same, according to a half-dozen people close to Mr. Trump."
Wait—when did Sessions or the President express the "conviction" that " illegal immigration is destroying America"? I googled the phrase. Few references came up, but over half of those that weren't quotes of this article came from pro-illegal immigrant sources, as their exaggerated characterization of what illegal immigration critics say or think. It is a false representation, explicitly designed to make such critics appear hysterical and foolish. Continue reading →


New York (February 8, 2018) - In support of its mission to maintain and implement standardized best practices for its members in the book publishing business, the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) has released an updated Best Practices for Keywords in Metadata, produced by the Metadata Committee and BISAC Subject Codes Committee Keywords Working Group.
With input from subject matter experts from across the supply chain, this document, an update to the 2014 edition, provides guidance for ONIX data senders and receivers on how best to select, communicate, and utilize keywords in metadata to maximize the opportunities for book product discovery by consumers and partners.
In 2017, in her role as Manager, Cataloging, at retailer Barnes & Noble, Caroline A. Hayes analyzed keyword data feeds from various vendors and compared them to the best practices outlined in the original version of the document. What she observed compelled her to convene a new working group to update the instructions for metadata creators.
The new Best Practices for Keywords in Metadata is another successful collaboration of metadata senders and recipients that was facilitated by BISG to optimize book discovery across the supply chain.
"Fortunately, industry-wide interest in keywords seems to be increasing and current BISG management is extremely supportive of the new version of the document and of providing education about the subject to the industry," says Hayes.
Contributors to the revised edition include the following metadata and process experts: Tom Adamich (Mitinet Library Services), Ralph Coviello (Proquest/Bowker), Shannon Droge (HarperCollins Christian Publishing), Clark Fife (Macmillan), Brendan Flattery (Harlequin), Sally Franklin (Penguin Random House), Kim Graff (BISG), Connie Harbison (Baker & Taylor, Inc.), Margaret Harrison (Ingram Content Group), Chairperson Caroline A.

Erev Shabbos. Father has left for shul and our home, though always tidy, takes on a special gleam. My sisters and I have changed into our Shabbos frocks and we eagerly clamor around Mother as she lowers the brass lamp with the lever.
Mother wraps her sheitel with a white, delicate kerchief and she lights our Judenstern, our Shabbos lamp, with reverence and concentration. It holds special significance, as my grandmother's family received it from mechutanim of the Wurzburger Rav. The brass sparkles as the wicks catch the flames. Mother holds her graceful hands over her face for a long time, swaying in prayer, asking that our family be protected and healthy. She davens that my father and brothers be successful in their learning, and that my sisters and I merit to marry bnei Torah. The lamp hangs, taking on central significance as the sun drops below charcoal clouds and our house descends into shadows. But our table is resplendent, draped in a snowy tablecloth, and the heady, yeasty smell from the challos tickles my nose.
I take my worn Tehillim, a bas mitzvah gift from my grandmother, and go to the window to wait for Father. The lamp sways above my head. Shabbos Kodesh fills the room, and I smile in the goodness of it all.
The generations pass in a cacophony of soaked Tehillim pages, broken glass, yearning, laughter, new beginnings, and multifarious endings, and the brass lamp is witness to it all. Though it becomes obsolete in function, it takes on greater significance as a tangible bond with one family's yekkishe mesorah of avodas Hashem.
One evening, a granddaughter sits in the middle of her room, surrounded by overflowing suitcases, though her flight leaves in a few hours. Her heart soars as she imagines her upcoming seminary year — save for one part that's exclusively reserved for Oma. She will miss her grandmother fiercely and in a flash, she thinks of the perfect surprise.
She walks into the humid East Coast summer night air. A creamy moon hangs low. In a few blocks she reaches Oma's home, punches in the code, and tiptoes into the elegant room. She takes out her supplies and spends the next hour meticulously shining the precious Judenstern that hangs near the dark wooden Shabbos table.
As she buffs the rounded holders, she envisions months ahead, when the family will light the lamp on Seder Night. As she polishes the pointed tips, she thinks of all the righteous women who have touched the lamp and she murmurs tefillos for her own future home, her family, for her grandmother and all the neshamos of women whose lives were illuminated by the cherished lamp.
When she finishes, the lamp gleams. She leaves a note for Oma. She can still feel the heaviness of the brass in her hands, and as she walks toward her future, she smiles in the goodness of it all.

The Fall of America: "Lady Gaga sings national anthem queerly"
'Land of the free, and the home for the gay'
(WASHINGTONTIMES) — Lady Gaga sang the national anthem at Pier 26 to kick off New York City's gay pride celebration Friday night, changing some of its words to fit the occasion, The Blaze first reported.
Holding a rainbow flag, the performer sang, "O say does that star-spangled flag of pride yet wave," then substituted "land of the free, and the home for the gay."
On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal provision that denied benefits to legally married same-sex couples and, in a separate case, cleared the way for California to resume offering marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

There is typically more than one antibody available to bind against any given target. Antibodies for research or other applications are produced in vivo with the help and assistance of the immune systems of many different host species. Usually, the host species of an antibody should be the same as the target species of the study. This may not always be possible as antibodies produced in every species on Earth are not always available. Simply because the antibody is from a different host species, however, does not mean that it will not bind against the target antigen in the targeted species. Usually, the interaction has not been fully tested. Abcore Inc. sells many antibodies by many different host species. Listed on each are the tested species. Typically, a prediction of cross reactivity can be made based on sequence similarity. Generally, the species in which an antibody was raised will be more important when using a conjugated secondary antibody to detect an unconjugated primary antibody. Depending on application, a researcher may want to choose a primary antibody raised in a species as similar to the secondary antibody host species as possible. For other applications, a researcher may want to choose something as different as they can to show a greater degree of dissociation.
Anti-Met (c-Met) antibody binds against the target Met. Ant-Met antibody is raised in goat or rabbit. Met is localized in the cellular membrane and expressed in numerous types of tissues. C-Met is a receptor for growth and scatter hepatocyte factors. Met functions in cell proliferation, scattering, morphogenesis, and survival. It often acts as a tyrosine-protein kinase. When MET is activated after being rearranged with the TPR gene, an oncoprotein is produced. Defects in MET protein are thought to be involved in certain types of gastric cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, and autism. Hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as renal cell carcinoma papillary, are caused by defects in c-MET. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary liver cell tumor which occurs more frequently in human men than woman. HCC is often related to cirrhosis of the liver being caused by alcohol abuse, autoimmune liver diseases, hepatitis, and iron overload. Although treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma is available, it is rarely successful in removing and killing all of the cancer. Unfortunately, affected individuals are likely to die within 3-6 months. Renal cell carcinoma papillary is a rare genetic mutation in the c-met gene causing kidney cancer. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer that occurs in the papillary tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. The anti-Jagged1 antibody binds against a ligand for multiple Notch receptors. Jagged 1 is raised in rabbit and goat. Jagged1 is widely expressed in a variety of tissues in the cellular membrane. Jagged1 functions in the formation of blood cells and mammalian cardiovascular development. Defects in JAG1 cause Alagille syndrome type 1 and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Alagille syndrome is a genetic disorder of the liver, heart, kidney, and other systems. It is characterized by hepatic bile duct paucity, or a reduction in the amount of bile ducts and cholestasis (inability for bile to flow from the liver to the duodenum). Alagille syndrome is a form of arteriohepatic dysplasia which involves multisystem defects characterized by chronic cholestasis due to paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts, peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, and dysplastic kidneys. Alagille syndrome is inherited by an autosomal dominant fashion. Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect that is present at birth. Tetralogy of Fallot is characterized by low blood oxygenation with or without cyanosis or blue tinged skin.
