Harbor Beach Light

Dear HB: What do you think? What else do we need? 7&6=thirteen (talk) 01:23, 17 May 2008 (UTC) Stan HB:

BTW, I think that the limited period of operation was for the fog signal as I put in the note. That is what Volume 7 of the current U.S. Coast Guard light list says. Are you saying that this federal document is wrong? TIn any event, the link is there. It was my source, and you can read it yourself. That's all I know. GIGO. I'm not disputing what you say, but I am pointing out the contradictions. if indeed they exist. I went with the Coast Guard's published data. Hope that clarifies what I found and where I found it. Best to you.

This is the data which appears in the separate columns in Volume 7:

Harbor Beach

10130 - Light 43 50 42 N 82 37 54 W Al WR 10s 54 16 W 19 R 16 White conical tower. HORN: 1 blast ev 30s (3s bl). Operates from Apr. 1 to Dec. 1. [Bold and Italics added.} 7&6=thirteen (talk) 01:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)Stan

Can you ask them about the horn? Based on my reading of the lightlist, I think that is the only issue. I don't know when the Coast Guard publishes its lightlist, or how often it is updated. Although I think that info is in it somewhere. Or we could just wait until a foggy day in January and see if the horn comes on. Just kidding. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 01:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC) Stan

Frank Murphy

HB Edit, I couldn't help noticing you are researching Justice Murphy. I have put in most of the on line sources, and suggest you look particularly at the Hour Detroit article, which has a nice lay person overview. That is cited in the article.

Here is the content from someone else who is a serious legal scholar:

(b. William Francis Murphy, Sand [now Harbor] Beach, Mich., 13 Apr. 1890; d. Detroit, Mich, 19 July 1949; interred Rock Falls Cemetery, Harbor Beach, Mich.), associate justice, 1940–1949. A leading New Deal politician and libertarian jurist, Frank Murphy came from an Irish-Catholic, middle-class family in a small town by Lake Huron. His father, a lawyer, and especially his mother filled him with intense idealism, ambition, and religious faith. After earning a law degree from the University of Michigan and serving as an army captain in France during World War I, he made his mark in Detroit. He was a private practitioner and assistant U.S. attorney (1921–1922), liberal judge on Recorder's Court (1924–1930), and crusading mayor (1930–1933) who pioneered public relief for the unemployed.

During the Depression he reached national prominence as a Progressive reformer and lieutenant of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was the last U.S. governor-general and first high commissioner of the Philippine Islands (1933–1936). As governor of Michigan (1937–1938), he mediated without loss of life the great sit-down strikes at General Motors and other factories, a pivotal turn in unionization of mass-production industries. Defeated for reelection, he was U.S. attorney general (1939) until chosen to replace Pierce Butler in the Supreme Court's “Catholic seat.” The midwestern Democrat was confirmed easily as FDR's fifth and majority appointment, although many lawyers, judges, and Murphy himself felt he was miscast.

His record as a justice was mixed. Neither legal scholar nor craftsman, he was criticized for relying on heart over head, results over legal reasoning, clerks over hard work, and emotional solos over team play in what he called the Great Pulpit. His strengths were practical experience, moral courage, compassion, and devotion to human rights. He strongly supported the post-1937 legal revolution by which the Roosevelt Court legitimated vast public power to regulate economic affairs and championed less material rights of individuals and politically impotent minorities. Although others led these historic shifts, Murphy wrote important majority opinions in labor law, notably Thornhill v. Alabama (1940), which included peaceful picketing as free speech. His influential Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942) opinion, by contrast, excluded “fighting words” and obscenity. He spoke for the Court in internally divisive battles over deportation (Schneiderman v. United States, 1943) and portal-to-portal pay (Jewell Ridge v. Local No. 6167, U.M.W.A., 1945). Most memorable are his powerful dissents against “legalization of racism” in the Japanese relocation (Korematsu v. United States, 1944) and for high standards of criminal procedure in war crime trials (In re Yamashita, 1946), state cases (Adamson v. California, 1947), and searches and seizures (Wolf v. Colorado, 1949).

A complex, narcissistic bachelor, he was a priestly jurist whose support of African-Americans, aliens, criminals, dissenters, Jehovah's Witnesses, Native Americans, women, workers, and other outsiders evoked a pun: “tempering justice with Murphy.” As he wrote in Falbo v. United States (1944), “The law knows no finer hour than when it cuts through formal concepts and transitory emotions to protect unpopular citizens against discrimination and persecution” (p. 561). Aiding the poor and promoting industrial peace in the Great Depression were major achievements; his civil liberties evangelism was often vindicated by later decisions of the Court.

Additionally, I have a complete copy of Theodore St. Antoine's article on Justice Murphy and Labor Law, and can send it to you if you provide me with an e-mail address. The whole labor law section needs to be substantially buttressed in this Wikipedia article, as both the Woodford piece and the St. Antoine article put together a basic theme.

Hope that helps. I would like to get this up to GA status, and think we are not that far away. Have at it. Best regards. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 15:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC) Stan

Hi Stan, I noticed that the topics in the politices section aren't in any order, and thought I'd straighten that out.

I noticed, in the article you placed on this page, that Murphy is listed as being assistant U.S. attorney from 1921 to 1922. Other articles list him as holding that office in 1919. Have you noticed this in your research? Bill--HB Edit (talk) 12:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Take a look at the Federal Judicial Center biography, and let me know what you think. I've added it in the references, and it is in shadow bot-created Frank Murphy article noted in the discussion. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 16:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Stan

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:50, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
