| The rules on plagiarism, (with full credit to MLK)
Deval Patrick of Massachusetts are not, as Hillary Clinton put it in last Thursday's University of Texas debate, "change you can Xerox," an inappropriate use of another's words: Patrick was advising Obama on his speeches and encouraged Obama to use the lines. Rule No. 3: If it's from a widely known source, such as the Bible or the founding documents of America, it's not plagiarism. King's speeches, like most civil rights oratory, drew on two primary sources: The Bible and the founding documents of America. King quotes the Declaration of Independence and the Bible in "I Have A Dream," but he does not always attribute the sources. He says "we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream," for example, but does not acknowledge he is quoting God's words to Israel in Amos 5:24.
Death of Reform, Birth of Reform: Clinton Democrats Face the Obama ...
Obama is poised to win eight straight primaries in the week since Super Tuesday, with only Virginia a bit uncertain at this point. In their staggering spin, the Clinton forces are denying that these eight states matter in comparison with California and New York. This spin will be challenged when and if Obama wins Wisconsin and Hawaii on the 19th, for ten victories in a row. Coming out of Super Tuesday ahead in 14 states to Clinton's eight (some are still counting), that would mean Obama finishes February with 24 states to eight against the former First Lady and a former president popular with Democrats. The delegate totals in those 24 states are more than Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania combined, and even if the Clintons win in those three big states they still stand to lose in the 14 states remaining.

Exclusive: Brett Morgen's Chicago 10
Let's say that works out to a hundred twenty paged script double spaced, when you break that down to single spaces you're talking about forty-five pages, that's like Cliff's Notes to history and I didn't want the film to be like a Cliff's Notes to history. Sometimes, I'm asked if I'm an activist filmmaker and I always say, "Well, I did the Bob Evans film. What was my cause, the Irving Thalberg award?" If I'm an activist, my primary cause is nonfiction filmmaking and trying to make films that stretch out the boundaries of nonfiction, I don't think I'm a documentarian because I think that culturally, we like to think of documentarians as journalists and I'm anything but a journalist. Nonfiction film is going further and further away from the static image. Digital tools have now entered the vanguard and we now as filmmakers have all these technologies to visualize the past and the present and those ways are completely subjective.
Growing Pains: Adapting After a Merger
This product will be 10 times bigger and more successful than it would be if we stayed alone," Mr. Heppelmann recalls thinking. To make it work, Mr. Heppelmann had to become a cheerleader. "I needed the executive team at the acquiring company to feel like they just acquired the hottest thing ever," he says. He also met with Parametric's biggest customers to sell them on his product. It worked. In the first six months it was owned by Parametric, Windchill recorded $11 million in revenue; last year, it generated about $340 million. Nearly all of Windchill's 20 employees have stuck with Parametric. And Mr. Heppelmann has gotten a shot at a bigger management role. He's now executive vice president and chief product officer for Parametric, which has annual revenue of about $1 billion.
Vendor finds solace at tree stand
It's like a homecoming for her in a way.
"I'm so happy to be back here," she said. "People had a hard time finding me last year, it was kind of obscure."
Her first shipment of North Carolina Frasier Firs arrived on Monday. She spent Tuesday untying them in preparation. She hopes that she will be able to sell as many as she used to at True Value, between 300 and 400 trees.
The holiday season is a busy one for her. The stand will be open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. all the way up to Christmas.
"I was open on Christmas last year selling trees," she said. "I'll be here on Christmas this year, too, if I still have some trees to sell."
In Paul's absence, she plans on working during Thanksgiving as well.
"What else am I going to do? I don't have anyone else," she said doing her best to hold back the tears.
