Brandeis And The History Of Transparency “I’m proud to present the third and final part in the series of research projects from the Sunlight Foundation spring semester interns. This post is by Andrew Berger, he spent time looking into the past and following Louis Brandeis career in transparency and how it relates to the current movement.” – Nisha Thompson By Sunlight Foundation Intern, Andrew Berger I never really feel like I understand something unless I have a sense of its history. (I once wanted to become a historian; I guess that's just how I think.) Brandeis made his famous statement that "sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants" in a 1913 Harper's Weekly article, entitled "What Publicity Can Do." If the broad light of day could be let in upon men’s actions, it would purify them as the sun disinfects. From Brandeis' Boston to today Brandeis graduated from Harvard Law School in 1878 and for the first decade or so of his legal career, he does not seem to have been very heavily involved in public affairs.

Reading Eye Movements! For the majority of the population, the map above indicates what kind of imaginative process is going on in someone’s brain when their eyes point in a particular direction. NOTE: This is for right handed people only. For left-handers, simply switch left and right! This doesn’t work for everyone, but try it out on your friends and you’ll be surprised at how accurate this model really is… Down-Right: Auditory Internal DialogueIndicates when a person is talking to themselves…inside their head.This could be any form of internal dialogue or when someone this thinking hard about something. How is this information useful to you? 1) To gain insight into what others are thinking about! For example, if you see someone looking down-right, you could recognize the internal dialogue and ask them what they are thinking about. 2) Detect lies! If you ask your (person in your life) where he/she was last night and they look to the left, you know that they are constructing an answer, not remembering one!

Posse Comitatus Act The Act, as modified in 1981, refers to the Armed Forces of the United States. It does not apply to the National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. The United States Coast Guard, which operates under the Department of Homeland Security, is also not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act, primarily because the Coast Guard has both a maritime law enforcement mission and a federal regulatory agency mission. History[edit] In return for Southern acquiescence regarding Hayes, Republicans agreed to support the withdrawal of federal troops from the former Confederate states, ending Reconstruction. When the U.S. An exception to Posse Comitatus Act, derived from the Enforcement Acts, allowed President Eisenhower to send federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1958 school desegregation crisis. Legislation[edit] Sec. 15. The text of the relevant legislation is as follows:

March 2009 By George & Ira Gershwin1937 A charming classic written for the Astaire/Rogers musical Shall We Dance. Ginger was the one to introduce it in the movie. It's light-hearted melody and engaging, Porter-esque lyric (one of Ira Gershwin's best) has long made it a favorite of jazz and traditional pop vocalists. Lyrics: They all laughed at Christopher ColumbusWhen he said the world was round.They all laughed when Edison recorded sound.They all laughed at Wilbur and his brotherWhen they said that man could fly. They told MarconiWireless was a phony.It's the same old cry--They laughed at me wanting you;Said I was reaching for the moon.But oh, you came through,Now they'll have to change their tune. They all said we never could be happy,They laughed at us and how! They all laughed at Rockefeller Center,Now they're fighting to get in.They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin.They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat,Hershey and his chocolate bar.
