hello, i'm wolf blitzer, it's 1:00 p.m. here in washington. 8:00 p.m. in moscow. wherever you're watching around the world, thank you for joining us. up first, president trump tackled some major issues, with a new plan to limit legal immigration into the united states. the president has just signed a bill to impose additional sanctions on russia, but it also restricts his ability to ease restrictions on moscow and he announced a trump to restrict immigration in the united states.
it's called the rae's act to limit the number of highly skillskill ed -- unskilled workers. >> this will limit immigration to people who can speak english, support themselves and their families and demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy. the rae's act prevents newingmi. let's begin with russia sanctions, the congress passed the bill by an overwhelming margin and it gives congress, not the president, the ability to ease those sanctions on russia. and ryan nobles is up on capitol
hill. jim, the president signed the bill, but he certainly didn't celebrate the event. tell our viewers what he's saying about this new sanctions law. >> reporter: that's right, wolf, and we should point out unlike other acts that the president has taken here at the white house. this did not happen in frofnt o the cameras, and one of those bills that accompany -- limits the president's ability to lift sanctions on russia. after the 2016 election, the obama administration slapped sanctions on russia, restricting them from those compounds. and along with signing that legislation, he release ad
std statement saying that i favor tough measures to punish and
detd deter destabilizing actions by iran, north korea and russia.
in its haste to pass this legislation, the congress included a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions. the president does intend, the administration does intend to exercise it's authority in terms of the implementation of this law and we should also point out, wolf, there was another statement that was put out by the white house from the president on all this and it said that he signed this bill for the sake of national unity, which is a very interesting statement, wolf, because it obviously acknowledges some of the deep concerns that exist, not only on the democratic side, but even on the republican side, about the russia investigation, about what's going on over here at the white house. if you recall, it was just yesterday when sarah huckabee sanders, the white house press secretary acknowledged that
trump tried to craft that statement by donald trump jr. about that meeting he had with russia during the campaign. and during the signing of this bill, the administration is trying to move on and deal with some of the public relations fallout of this russian investigation which is ongoing. >> ryan, you're up on capitol hill, the bill passed by a vote of, what, 98-2 in the senate, 419-3 in the house of representatives. congress would have been able to override a presidential veto, so he signed it into law, but the message he sent to lawmakers, it very clear, this is significantly 234rsignificant ly flawed an contains uncongressional p uncongressional -- constitution m provisions. >> it's by far the most bipartisan thing that congress
has done in 2017. it's clear that the congress doesn't trust the white house much when it comes to russia. and open conversations with the white house about this particular bill. he said publicly, that the fact that the white house has not really given strong state of thes as it relates to russia is one of the reasons that this bill had to be passed and provide more controls by the congress as it relates to the implementation of sanctions like these. this is another indication, wolf, of kind of the rocky relationship between capitol hill and the white house right now and it's not just democrats, there are more and more republicans that are uncomfortable with that relationship, it even tracks back to the health care debate. so this was a loud and clear message from this congress that they are a co-equal branch of government and part of their job is to keep the white house in check. >> the president clearly does not believe that. we're going to get into that a little bit more, ryan nobles, jim acosta, guys, thanks very
much. let's discuss all these late breaking developments, i'm joined by republican senator bill cassidy of georgia. you were part of the 98 that voted in favor of the russia sanctions. he said it was significantly flawed, it contains a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions and he then added this in a statement, and let me read it to you.
because it's very significant. my administration will give careful and respectful consideration to the preferences expressed by the congress in these various provisions and will implement them in a manner consistent with the president's constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations. he seems to be suggesting, senator, he's going to decide, what is constitutional, not constitutional. he's not simply going to
implement what you guys on capitol hill want. your reaction? >> there has always been differences between executives and congress when it comes to foreign affairs. but we as a legislative body wanted to clearly say that russia's recent actions are beyond the pale and they deserve some response. obviously congress has their own tools, but i hope that the president and the congress will work together as opposed to against each other. >> he clearly has that threat there, he will decide how to implement it. and he goes one step further. and he really slams the u.s. congress in a separate statement he released. the bill remains seriously flawed particularly because it e encroaches on the executive branch's authority to negotiate. congress could not even negotiate a health care bill
after seven years of talking. by limiting the executive's flexibility, this big makes it harder. as president i can make far better deals with foreign countries than congress. he's really giving congress a slap right there. i want you to react to that. >>chuckling, that's such a trumpian statement. the fact is that the congress has a role in this, we're exerting that role, if the president comes up with a better deal, we'll be open to that, however we felt there had to be a response to some of the actions that russia has taken recently. >> he says it's unconstitutional and significantly flawed. he's basically suggesting he will decide how to implement it, whether to implement it and he's not going to really pay that much attention to it. but let's get on to some other
critically important issues, he's had a number of meetings with some of your republican colleagues, later today he extended an invitation for tom cotton to visit the white house. >> he clearly wants to repeal obamacare, but we're doing it differently, we're bringing in governors, hearing from their medicaid directors, finding out what would make a bill work for them. if you look at the data, if you look a state which increases coverage, it has much more to do with the actions of a governor than it does with preexisting coverage. i think it's a really good direction to go in. >> let's talk about the immigration policy that he unveiled today, he announced that the united states -- he
wants the u.s. to switch to what he called a merit-based system, givi . do you think this is something that could work and do you think the votes are there to make a significant change like that. >> i think that's been proposed in the past and absolutely i think that would be well received. i don't have a clear read on what democrats would have to say about that, but we want folks who will make our economy more prosperous, and the folks that will are those that come with skill sets or with capital that can again create jobs for americans who are already here. that is the sweet spot in immigration policy. if the president advances that i would like to think there would be bipartisan support for that. >> and republicans are already saying what he announced today goes against the tradition of the united states, not just to welcome in rich people or people who speak english, but welcome immigrants of all types and give
them a chance to experience the american credream. what do you say to that? >> this is not about those who are coming here, but those who are already there. if an immigrant comes into a community and then creates a business that creates thousands of jobs. i think the president is doing that. i think that's the better way to go. >> you're a physician, a final question on health care right now, you're a member of the senate health committee as will, the chairman of that committee, lamar alexander, a man you know well, he announced that the committee will hold bipartisan health care hearings, he really wants to work with the democrats now, now that repeal and replace has failed in the senate. do you believe there is an opportunity now to come up with some bipartisan legislation that will fix many of the problems of the affordable care act, obamacare? >> already, i think the chairman has an agreement with the ranking member to work on cost sharing reduction payments at least through 2018.
those families who are looking at 40% increases in their premiums, republicans tried to address that recently, we failed unfortunately to get 50 votes. nevertheless, that would address this issue through 2018. so there's already a bipartisan solution to an immediate problem. i have always been about personally getting something bipartisan and i am working to that end. up next, president donald trump says his mexican counterpart called him to praise him on border security. but guess what? mexico's president says that call never happened. we have new information. plus the u.s. says it's successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile today after tensions with north korea increase. ideli. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals.

the transcript obtained by politico, the president says and i'm quoting now, i got a call from the head of the boy scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, close quote, the boy scouts ended up apologizing actually for president trump's speech and an official tells us that they're not aware of any phone call between the boy scouts and president trump. and now a phone call between the president of mexico. >> even the president of mexico, their southern border, not that many people are coming because they know they're not going to get across our border. which is very complementary. >> president enrique pena nieto has not been in contact with president trump or the white house.
so, chris, what about these phone calls? the president makes a hard statement, quickly denied by various groups. >> a hard same that paints him in the most possible favorable light. they said it was the greatest speech ever delivered. you know, he is a serial exaggerator, this is not new, everything is the best, the newest, it doesn't always matter what he's talking about. but these are relatively trivial things, but if you are willing to, let's say, stretch the truth, if possible make it up from whole cloth, but at least stretch the truth regarding phone calls, or if you made them at all. , sure, i'm sure does raise doubts about what can be believed and what can't. obviously when you're the president of the united states and you're dealing with foreign leaders, if there's a pattern
that you exaggerate a lot or you don't tell the truth a lot, that's a big statement. >> it's a shame it's not colonial america, he might have a shot to become king, which i think he would actually like. but the president of the united states exaggerating this way, he can't be believed, to the media, to the american people, but other leaders around the world, and that has a real impact. not today, not as we sit here, but if something really bad happens, and the president needs to sit aside the world stage with correredibility, he's undercutting his correct over and over and over again. >> you remember the controversial meeting that his son, donald trump jr. and others had with a russian hour at trump tower in new york city last summer. initially the president's
private attorney jay sekulow said that the president had nothing to do with a statement that was released that said the president was not involved, didn't know anything about it. but yesterday, sarah huckabee sanders, she said this. >> the president weighed in as any father would based on the limited information that he had. >> that's clearly a shift. is this significant? >> i think what we're seeing now is this constant pattern of false and misleading statements is going from beyond the political realm to having broader implications. so are fact checkers at "the washington post" have actually logged 836 false and misleading claims by the president during the first six months, that's more than four a day if you can believe that. and these have been political issues, but now there's a special counsel investigation, robert mueller is more than likely going to take a look at the role trump had in crafting
the statement and initially putting out a misleading statement. he's parking l ee's participati efforts. >> this is why the notion of his children being so involved is so harmful. think about what sarah huckabee sanders is saying, with apparently a straight face, saying oh, he's just doing what any father would do, the president of the united states, taking the lead and offering a misleading statement about a meeting with the lurussians who are trying to get -- as any father would do to get in the middle of that. you just don't want your children involved, let alone start lying about whether you're dictating the statement or not. >> let's get to the russia sanctions legislation, the president signed it into law today, major piece of legislation, there was no photo opportunity, he didn't bring in members of congress. it was overwhelmingly approved
in the house and the senate. he did issue a couple of statements, basically suggesting you know what? it's unconstitutional. it's significantly flawed, i'll implement it in the way i want to implement it because i'm the president of the united states. >> but i mean that's essentially what he said. again, a continuation, we have seen this will health care and other things, he doesn't gas or believe in the separation of powers. he believes that if you work for him, and he views anyone in the federal government as someone who works for him. as senators have made clear, we don't work for you. but jeff sessions has dual responsibilities to the american public. so he doesn't understand or care about that. this statement is, and the way in which it was done, wolf, with no fanfare, compared to the other things he's signed, where
there was a rose garden ceremony, but what he's saying with this statement, is i'll do it, but i'm not happy about it. >> he goes one step further and he slaps congress and he says, you know, you guys couldn't even negotiate a health care bill after seven years of talking. as president, i can make far better deals with foreign countries than congress. >> if you had read this statement, you would have thought it was a statement about not signing it. >> what the statement does is accomplish two things, one, it counts to drive a wedge between the administration and congress, already members of congress, particularly in the senate, are very frustrated with the administration and the blame he's putting on them for the failure to repeal and replace obamacare. this also continues to perpetuate this idea that
there's not a clear plan on russia. the same time that the president is all but rejecting this legislation. >> and you have tit for tat. it seems like putin has said let's ratchet up cold war style tensions with the united states and you have seen it with military deployments in eastern europe. that is going to upset nato and our european partners and here you see a president who really doesn't see russia as a threat. but has now backed these sanctions, europe is really going to again come complaining about this white house. >> and one important thing to note, how isolated donald trump is, not necessarily within the country, but within the republican party. look, donald trump is the only one that has this view of russia, maybe you throw in rex tillerson, maybe he had some objections too. this is a man on an island.
this is not a republican view in any way, shape or form. >> crishris calizza said that t is a -- and david gregory. coming up the donald trump administration is taking direct aim at affirmative action. a new report reveals that the department of justice, now exploring ways to sue universities over their policies that take race into consideration and we're going to speak to the former president of the naacp, cornell brooks who's standing by live.
is the trump administration preparing to take on college affirmative action programs suspected of discriminating against white applicants. that's what the "new york times" and other publications are now reporting. the times says the justice department is recruiting lawyers to work on, quote, investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions. cornell warm brooks is a contributor and naacp president. glad you're part of our team right now. a justice department official, speaking on background, off the record background to cnn is pushing back on the "new york times" story, some say it does not represent any change in department policy. i know this is a subject close to your heart. this is a civil rights division over at the justice department. what's your reaction? >> it does seem to represent a change, in that as a veteran of the department of justice, i worked in the civil rights
division, to have essentially the front office assume a set of responsibilities and then recruit attorneys from the department. in other words, this work is generally done by the education sites, point one. point two. to suggest that we need to look at college admissions, you do not have college and university presidents talking about, decrying discrimination in their offices of admission, we don't see a human cry in the streets in terms of discrimination in offices, college offices, of admission. this seems to be a bait, race-baiting if you will. meant to address the ideological concerns of the president's base. there's no basis for this at all. >> you've seen some of the action cases that have been
disputed where you have a white applicant who has better grades than the african-american applicant, the african-american is accepted, the what type applicant is not accepted. >> which did a review of this several years ago and with alana kagan recusing herself decided with the principal of affirmative action, race being used as part of the admissions process, a criteria in the process. we don't see white applicants being discriminated against, categorically, globally, what we see are offices of admissions using race and ethnicity as part of a process to develop a diverse campus and student body. that's what we have going on here. so the fact that you don't see university presidents asking for
this. what we see is this opposite. universities and colleges concerned about the chilling effect here. how then can colleges and universities prepare students to lead the country if they have campuses that do not look like the country. >> that was the university of texas at ought tin austin, a 4- at least hold iing affirmative action. >> i'm concerned about it, and the reason i'm concerned about it is it sends a chilling message. we don't see any legal basis for it. the supreme court has spoken to this issue quite recently. there's no demand for it. but it sends a very chilling message to our colleges and universities across the country. so i don't see this as going in a positive direction, in fact i see it going in a very dangerous direction. and the fact that we have a justice department is diverting resources from the real business of the department.
that is to say, when you set up a special shop to represent victims that don't exist. in other words, you have a attorney general who is ignoring obvious discrimination in plain sight in favor of looking for nonexistent discrimination in every crabkra cranny of society. why is the department not looking at discrimination at the ballot box, at police -- what we have here are ideological victims that don't exist and that simply represent rachial
that new policy. we're also learning more about what could have been an unintended but very real consequence of north korea's intercontinental ballistic missile test. there was an air france passenger plane with about 200 people on board in the area, just about 60 miles away, a normal path for some airlines takes them only about 10 miles from where that north korean ballistic missile splashed down, with no advance warning. officials fear that passenger planes potentially could be accidently hit. here with us the former ambassador to the united nations bill richardson who's been to the middle ea north korea ten times. you called this most recent ballistic missile testing by north korea a game changer
because it went as for as it did. how does this right now raise the stakes? >> it raises the stakes enormously, it's the highest level of tension i have ever seen the peninsula. the problem is not just the instability that it's caused, but the technology advances of kim jong-un, the fact that china helps us put pressure on kim jong-un, the fact that north korea seems to be going the other way policy wide. so i'm worried about what they're doing. >> they're improving their capability. the u.s. launched a intercontinental ballistic missile went 400 miles, the u.s. ballistic missile went 4,000 miles. is that a showing to north korea, basically saying to the north korean regime, don't mess with the u.s.?
>> it is a show of force, and i think it's necessary, but at the same time, you mentioned that i believe so -- incident with the france airliner. the danger is very strong, because kim jong-un appears to at all cost wants to further its nuclear capability. >> yesterday rex tillerson, the secretary of state was reaching out to north korea. >> we're trying to convey to the north koreans, we are not your enemy, we are not a threat, but you're -- hopefully they can begin to understand that and we would like to sit and have a dialogue with them about the future. >> you have dealt with the north
koreans, will they respond to that kind of outreach with the u.s. secretary of state? >> there's a chance they might respond because in the past we have said we're not going to talk to the north koreans because we reward bad behavior, they have to stop some of their missile and nuclear activities. it seems that the secretary of state said, no, we're ready to talk. i think it should be at his level, meet the north korean foreign minister, who we met on that trip. he is now the foreign minister, reid, is now at an asian conference and have a dialogue and see if there can be some kind of an understanding and accommodation, diplomacy is not giving in, talking to somebody is not giving in. i like the talk about dialogue as opposed to we're going to have a pre-emptive military strike, we're going to arm the
south koreans. >> south korea wants some diplomacy at the same time. they have been reaching out to north korean. but i want you to listen to lindsay graham, the republican senator from south carolina, he's been speaking out very, very strongly on the threat from north korea. >> it's up to president trump to deliver a very firm, unequivocal message to north korea and china, and secretary tillerson's job is to find a diplomatic solution, i would suggest what he said about north korea was at best unartful. >> at best. what is it at worst? >> i think it gives mixed messages and they continue to believe we're not serious. i know what a military attack would look like in north korea, it would be horrible, it would be devastating and it may be the only action to protect the homeland.
>> i have great respect for lindsay graham. i think the secretary of state, this is the latest policy. we're ready to have a dialogue, i think talk about a pre-emptive strike, war is inevitable, is not helpful because it inflames tensions. i think we have to continue to work with china, although in the end, i don't think china will help us with north korea to get on the same page with south korea, because we're tied together. there's 30,000 american troops in south korea, 50,000 in japan. we don't want a war is inevitable kind of discussion. we want diplomacy, dialogue, some kind of understanding. >> you're clearly with rex tillerson rather than lindsay graham. thanks for joining us as usual. it not common to see a cabinet secretary turn down
i'm the one clocking in... when you're clocking out. sensing your every move and automatically adjusting to help you stay effortlessly comfortable. there. i can also help with this. does your bed do that? oh. i don't actually talk. though i'm smart enough to. i'm the new sleep number 360 smart bed. let's meet at a sleep number store.
a whopping $80 million currently sitting around unused by the u.s. state department, this according to a new report in politico. congress allocated the money to go toward fighting isis propaganda and russian disinformation but secretary of state rex tillerson refuses to touch it. the reason? he reportedly doesn't want to upset moscow. let's bring in our global affairs correspondent who's joining us. you've been reporting on this. what are you hearing? >> well, what i'm hearing is that, you know, state department officials telling me this was slightly mischaracterized. it's true that this some $80 million is sitting both in the pentagon, $60 million in the pentagon, $20 million at the state department, for use to counter russian and anti-isis propaganda. what state officials are telling me is that they're not happy with the proposals that have been sent to them from this office, the global engagement center, which is, you know, has been created to combat some of
these propaganda efforts by isis and other groups around the world so they are trying to work through proposals, and what they say is secretary -- one of secretary tillerson's aides told me that they don't want to throw good money after bad, and when i spoke to congress staffers on the hill, they say, look, we don't want to throw good money after bad, but congress appropriated this money. we want to see that it's spent. >> see if it is spent. all right, thanks very much, elise, for that update. up next, an explosive new lawsuit that accuses fox news and the white house of working together to push a false story to the masses. we're going to speak with one of the lawyers at the center of the case. that's next.
who knew that phones would starentertaining us,ng? getting us back on track and finding us dates. phones really have changed. so why hasn't the way we pay for them? introducing xfinity mobile. you only pay for data and can easily switch between pay per gig and unlimited. no one else lets you do that. see how much you can save when you choose by the gig or unlimited. call or go to xfinitymobile.com. xfinity mobile. it's a new kind of network, designed to save you money. explosive claims and a complicated lawsuit, new details on the bizarre story involving
murdered dnc staffer seth rich. fox news and possibly the trump administration. ed butowsky is speaking out. he told cnn the lawsuit is just an attempt by ron wheeler, the fox contributor filing the lawsuit, to make money. >> this was tongue-in-cheek talking just texting, wasn't serious because rod wheeler was always looking for a job because he has no money, and by the way, this lawsuit is all about rod wheeler trying to get money. >> the lawsuit accuses butowsky of working with the white house on a false and eventually retracted fox news story about the murder of the young dnc staffer. butowsky denies the claim. doug is an attorney for rod wheeler, joining us from new york. doug, thanks very much for joining us. what's your response to what we just heard from butowsky? >> well, you know, i watched that interview last evening with your colleague, chris cuomo, and actually was highly entertaining because much of what he said
made absolutely no sense. you know, take, for instance, the text message that he sent to rod wheeler. he said that the president read the article, he wanted it out immediately, and now he's trying to say that that text was somehow a joke. i mean, this was not a laughing matter. this was a text message. there was no emoji at the end, no smiley face. it wasn't a joke. ed butowsky, as he said in his text, was in conversations with the white house, with the president. he was actually brought rod wheeler to the white house to meet with sean spicer. sean spicer admits that. and what we see, actually, is that sean spicer says the meeting had no agenda. they just sort of arrived at the white house, and they had no agenda. that makes no sense. and then yesterday, we saw the spokesperson for president trump say that, well, it's not really that abnormal for the spokesperson to speak to a member of the press, which might be true, but don't forget that rod wheeler and ed butowsky weren't writing this article.
malia zimmerman of fox news was. >> let me get some of the news out there. you've suggested, i believe, that as part of the lawsuit, you wanted to pose both president trump and the former press secretary, sean spicer. first of all, do you think that's realistic? do you think that might happen? >> we're going to treat this case the way we treat any other case. we're going to seek to take testimony in terms of getting documents that might be relevant and then we're going to seek to take depositions and the president might -- through his counsel, try and get a protective order, might say he's too busy. he finds time to play over 20 rounds of golf. hopefully he'll find time to sit down with me and answer questions. >> what would you hope to gain from that. >> it's part of the bigger picture here. what you see is the motivation for ultimately defaming rod wheeler in the may 16th article. why did they want to attribute quotes to him that weren't true?
as we set forth in the complaint, the reason for that was because the white house in conjunction with fox wanted to steer the narrative away from the russian hacking scandal and steer that towards seth rich, which is really a tragedy. i feel -- my heart really goes out for the rich family for being part of this. >> what do you say to the allegation that your client is broke and he's simply seeking money? >> that's just not true. i mean, what he was hired to do was to do an investigation into the murder of seth rich. he wanted to do that. unfortunately, he was used as a pawn in this case by ed butowsky and fox news. he was used as a pawn, again, to steer away the narrative, and that's all documented, not only in text messages, but also in voice recordings. the case is strong and not only with a statements made in the may 16th article false but you also have ed butowsky and malia zimmerman admitting that those quotations were false. >> what kind of damages are you seeking? >> well, we're going to seek damages for rod wheeler's
reputation. because of what happened, there were many, many articles criticizing him that blamed him for this article when it wasn't his fault so we're going to ask a jury to award what they believe is reasonable to repair and restore his damages. >> all right. douglas, thanks so much for joining us. that's it for me. i'll be back 5:00 p.m. eastern in the situation room. in the situation room. the news continues right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >> we are on briefing watch again today. the white house press briefing to begin in the next little bit as president trump makes several major moves on multiple critical issues, health care, sanctions and immigration. right now, i can tell you that he's meeting privately with ohio senator rob portman as this new bipartisan effort, you heard me ri

Civ. No. 987.
October 15, 1912.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Fresno County. Geo. E. Church, Judge.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
Frank Kauke, for Appellant.
M. K. Harris, and Milton M. Dearing, for Respondent.
Upon the merits of the case we are in accord with the views of the Hon. George E. Church, the trial judge, as expressed in the following opinion, which we adopt:
"This action was brought by plaintiff to recover a certain sum or sums of money alleged to have been paid under protest by him and a large number of his assignors, taxpayers in the city of Fresno, illegally levied and collected as part of the taxes of 1909.
"The action is grounded upon the following facts, fully and particularly averred:
"That on January 18th, 1909, the board of trustees of the city of Fresno passed an ordinance, approved the same day, whereby the city elected to avail itself of the services of the necessary county officers in the matter of the collection of its taxes, as provided by act of the legislature approved March 27, 1895, [Stats. 1895, p. 219]; that, on August 16, 1909, the board estimated and determined by ordinance the necessary amount of money to be raised by taxation for the needs of the city for the fiscal year ending July 1st, 1910, fixing the same at $126,382.50; on or before August 2, 1909, the county auditor certified to the trustees of the city the value of the taxable property within the city, as equalized and corrected by the board of supervisors of the county, acting as a board of equalization, to be $11,055,314.00; on August 16, 1909, said board of trustees calculated and by ordinance established the rate of city taxes and levied the same, such rate being, of course, such per cent of said taxable property as is necessary to raise the said estimated amount of tax; thereafter and after the necessary amount of taxes for the needs of the city had been determined, the rate fixed and levied upon said valuation of the city's taxable property as so finally determined by said board of supervisors sitting as a board of equalization, on, viz.: the 8th of September, 1909, the state board of equalization by order increased the assessment-roll or value of taxable property of the county of Fresno by 'adding 20 per centum' thereto, and, upon notification thereof, the county auditor added 20 per centum to the value of all the property assessed to each taxpayer, and entered upon the assessment books as being due from the taxpayers of the city for city taxes, an aggregated sum one-fifth greater than the said amount fixed by the board of trustees as necessary for the city's needs for the said fiscal year. It is this so called 20 per cent excess, or so much thereof as was paid under protest by the plaintiff and his assignors, that this suit is brought to recover. It is alleged that it was illegally assessed and collected, and that it is now held by the defendant, J. R. Hickman, as ex officio treasurer of the city of Fresno, and illegally withheld by him from plaintiff after due demand.
"By the act of the legislature approved March 27, 1895, entitled 'An act to provide for the levy and collection of taxes, c.' it is declared to be the duty of the board of trustees . . . of any city in this state, except municipal corporations of the first class, on the first Monday of August in each year, to determine and fix by ordinance the amount of money necessary to be raised by taxation for the governmental needs of such city for the current fiscal year, provided that on or before the first Monday of February preceding the city had elected to have the duties of the city treasurer performed by the county treasurer.
"By this act also the county auditor must, on or before the second Monday of August, transmit to the city trustees a statement of the assessed valuation of all property in the city as equalized by the board of supervisors, and then, on the first Monday of September, the trustees, using this valuation as the basis, must compute the rate of taxation sufficient to raise the aforesaid sum estimated and required for city purposes, which rate must be immediately transmitted to the county auditor, and these acts are declared 'to constitute a valid assessment of such property and a valid levy of the rate so fixed.'
"It is plain that it is not the intent and purpose of this act to merge and confound city and county business. It is plain that in discharging the duties of city assessor, city tax-collector, and city treasurer, the respective county officers become or are ex officiis officers of the city.
"In the matter of the assessment and levy of state and county taxes, the proceeding is somewhat different. At the same time that the auditor of the county transmits to the city trustees the statement of the taxable property of the city as prepared by the assessor and equalized and corrected by the board of supervisors, acting as a board of equalization, and which statement serves as the basis of city taxation, he sends a duplicate thereof to the state board of equalization. When the statement, as changed and corrected by the state board, is returned to the auditor, (which must be on or before the 2nd Monday in September), the board of supervisors must, on the third Monday in September, fix the rate of county taxes, using this finally corrected assessment valuation as the basis of its computation. Having previously determined the amount of money necessary to be raised by taxation for county purposes, the fixing of the rate is merely a mathematical computation.
"In the case before us, it is the contention of defendants that notwithstanding the fact that the rate of city taxes is and must be fixed before the action of the state board of equalization, and the further fact that in determining that rate the assessed valuation of city property, as equalized by the board of supervisors, must be taken as the basis of calculation, still, in determining the amount of taxes to be paid by the several taxpayers of the city for city purposes, that amount must be computed not upon the assessed valuation upon which the city rate was determined, but upon the valuation as finally corrected and equalized by the state board of equalization. There would appear to be no good warrant for such contention. To say nothing of the inconsistencies and absurdities to which it would lead, we have already seen that, by the express declaration of the legislative act of March 27, 1895, the acts, first of the city trustees, in determining the needed amount of taxes for the fiscal year; second, of the assessor and board of supervisors in ascertaining and determining the assessed valuation of the city property; and, finally, of the city trustees in fixing the rate, constitute 'a valid assessment of such property and a valid levy of such rate so fixed.' It is difficult to see how there can be two valid assessments for the same purpose.
"It is conceded that, had the city not elected to make use of the county officers, but had its own assessor and tax-collector assess and collect its taxes, their action would not be affected by the state board of equalization. Why, then, should it be affected when the work is done by its ex officiis officers? The city has never elected (as under sec. 3671 Pol. Code it might have elected) to take as the basis of its taxation the assessment as equalized by the state board, and surely its ex officiis officers have no power to make such election for it. It is the duty of the state board of equalization 'to equalize the valuation of the several counties of the state,' 'lowering or raising entire assessment-rolls so as to make the assessments conform to the true value in money of the property assessed' and 'to fix the rate of state taxation.' It is manifest that the primary object is to equalize throughout the several counties of the state the burden of state taxation. So far as county taxation is concerned, it is a matter of comparative indifference whether the assessed valuation of its taxable property, as determined by the county assessor and board of supervisors, be raised or lowered by the state board of equalization, because the rate of taxation is not fixed by the supervisors until after the action of the state board. The amount of money to be taken from the pockets of the taxpayers of the county for county purposes is not thereby affected. But as to the city, in such case, any change in the assessed valuation by the state board must have one of two effects, equally intolerable; either to deprive the city government of necessary funds or give it what it neither asks nor needs, thereby unjustly adding to the burdens of its citizens. A conclusion so obnoxious and damaging to the taxpayer could be justified only by the plainest provisions of the statute. And not only are there no such plain provisions, but the entire spirit of the law negatives such conclusion. There is nothing in the case of Baldwin v. Ellis, 68 Cal. 495, [9 P. 652], opposed to the view here taken. Indeed the reasoning of the court in that case clearly sustains it. The court holds that the power of the state board in lowering or raising the assessment-roll applies both to state and county. Its declared object is to equalize county assessments. It is not concerned with municipal taxation and is nowhere given power or supervision over it.
"Considerations of a general character would seem to support strongly the view here taken.
"It is a familiar rule of statutory construction that it be reasonable, especially that it do not tend to palpable injustice, contradiction, or absurdity. It is a cardinal rule that the language of a statute should be so interpreted as to make it compatible with common sense and the dictates of justice. If any other reasonable construction be possible, a statute should never be construed to work injustice. Justice is the aim of all legislation. The power of government to exact from the citizen a part of his property in way of taxation is indeed vast, but it is not unlimited. It may be exercised only for the public good and for a public purpose.
"Cooley's definition of taxes as 'enforced contributions levied for public needs' states concisely both the nature and limitation of taxes. Taxes are the property of the citizens demanded and taken by the government to enable it to discharge its functions. In his work on Tax Titles, Blackwell defines taxes as ' burdens imposed by the legislative power upon persons or property to raise money for public purposes.'
"The needs of the government constitute then both the occasion and limitation of the taxing power. To take from the citizen a dollar beyond the needs of government is not taxation; it is extortion."
Appellant's counsel in his brief exhibits his usual aptitude and forcefulness, but he makes the mistake of assuming that the situation is governed by the following provisions of section 3671 of the Political Code: "The assessment made by the county assessor and that of the state board of equalization, as apportioned by the boards of supervisors to each city, town, township, school, road, or other district in their respective counties, or cities and counties, shall be the only basis of taxation for the county, or any subdivision thereof, except in incorporated cities and towns, and may also be taken as such basis in incorporated cities and towns when the proper authorities may so elect." From a consideration of the preceding section it is perfectly apparent that the reference in said section 3671 to the assessment made by the state board of equalization does not contemplate the equalization of the value of the taxable property of the state, but it signifies and points to the assessment, by said board of railroads operated in more than one county. If we should construe it as contended for by appellant we would be confronted with the embarrassing situation that the board of trustees of the city of Fresno is compelled to fix the rate of taxation upon a basis to be determined in the future. But it is clear from the record that the city authorities elected to take advantage of said act of 1895, and that act provides in unmistakable terms that the assessment made by the assessor and approved by the board of supervisors shall be the basis for taxation for city purposes. If it be conceded that said section 3671 provides a different basis it is sufficient to say that the city authorities have not elected to be bound by it, and it is entirely immaterial that it has been amended since the passage of said act of 1895.
It seems eminently just that this money, collected by the city in excess of its needs as determined by the constituted authorities, should be returned to those upon whom the unnecessary burden was imposed, and no merely technical objection should stand in the way of this consummation. Of this character we consider the other points made by appellant, and it is believed that they are devoid of substantial merit.
To read the complaint is to be convinced that it states a cause of action against the city of Fresno. It sets forth the facts recited in the opinion of the trial judge, and, if we concede that some of them are imperfectly averred, it is entirely manifest that appellant suffered no prejudice.
The cause of action is admittedly against appellant and hence the treasurer was not a necessary party defendant. By virtue of his office he was and is the custodian of the funds, but they were collected for the benefit and credited to the account of appellant. The claim was against the city and, like any other ordinary action for a debt due from the municipality, there is no apparent reason why any one except the debtor should have been sued. But it is hard to understand how the city has suffered any detriment or is in a position to complain by reason of the fact that the treasurer was joined as a party defendant. The rule is, undoubtedly, as stated in Gardner v. Samuel, 116 Cal. 84, [58 Am. St. Rep. 135, 47 P. 935], that "A defendant against whom there was a sufficient complaint cannot object that others who had no interest in the subject matter of the suit were made defendants, unless it also appeared that his interests were affected thereby." If defendant Hickman had appealed and were urging the point, a different situation might be presented.
In the beginning, no doubt, counsel for respondent were somewhat uncertain as to the form of proceeding that should be instituted, and a petition was filed against the treasurer for a writ of mandate to compel him to pay the claim of plaintiff. That action was numbered 14,156 and was based, probably, upon the theory that, the claim having been allowed by the board of supervisors, it was the ministerial duty of the treasurer to pay it on demand. Thereafter — we naturally infer — counsel concluded that it was not a case for mandate, but that plaintiff in an ordinary action must establish his unliquidated demand against the city, and hence this suit, No. 14,157, was brought. The foregoing circumstances have given rise to appellant's contention that another action was pending for the same cause. If the theory of plaintiff's case has been correctly stated — and it seems to be so conceded by appellant — then it is perfectly manifest that the former action was no bar to this. It is not the duty of the treasurer to pay a claim against the city, which has not been reduced to judgment and which has been rejected by the city trustees. He is a mere ministerial officer and he exercises no judicial functions. It must be plain that his election to pay or refuse payment of such claim is no legal determination of its validity nor would it be binding upon the city or the claimant. Under such circumstances, of course, no court would issue the writ of mandate, but would hold that the claimant must proceed against the city in the proper form to establish his right to the payment. The logic of appellant's position would compel the treasurer to pass upon every ordinary claim of indebtedness against the city, and thereby exercise a power far in excess of what has been conferred by the statute. No case involving the identical question has been cited, but we think none should be required. As pointed out by respondent, it has been held, in certain cases, that the pending of a civil action is not a bar to mandamus on the same general facts, ( County of Calaveras v. Brockway, 30 Cal. 325; Oroville and V. R. Co. v. Supervisors, 37 Cal. 354; Barber v. Mulford, 117 Cal. 360, [49 P. 206]); and the converse would seem to be equally true. At least, the pendency of an action against one person upon a complaint failing to state a cause of action against said person cannot affect another suit based upon a cause of action stated against another person. The principles of law involved are familiar and we deem the further citation of authority to the point unnecessary.
The trial court's findings were against both defendants, but no judgment was rendered either for or against Hickman, and of this appellant complains. As before indicated, we view the treasurer as an unnecessary party and the complaint as not stating a cause of action against him. It would seem to follow that he was entitled to judgment for his costs. But the appellant has not been injured by the omission of the court in that regard. If there were a question of joint liability and the right of contribution, the situation, of course, would be different. But, as we view the case, appellant alone is liable and it has no right to insist that a judgment be rendered against Hickman; and a judgment in his favor could not be invoked, to mitigate the burden that the law imposes upon appellant. Hickman might complain, but it seems clear that the error, as far as appellant is concerned, is harmless and should be disregarded. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 475.)
It is not disputed that in an action against more than one defendant the court may render judgment against only one when a several judgment is proper. It is expressly so provided in the statute. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 579; Kelly v. Bandini, 50 Cal. 530; Kelly v. Plover, 103 Cal. 35, [36 P. 1020].)
But admitting in this case that Hickman was entitled to an adjudication on the issues raised by his answer, this is a matter of which his codefendant has no right to complain. ( Golden Gate Mill Mining Co. v. Hendy Machine Works, 82 Cal. 184, [23 P. 45].)
The charter of the city of Fresno provides that: "Every demand against the city treasurer . . . must be itemized, specifying the goods furnished, the service performed, or other basis of the claim, giving the date and amount of each item, and by whom ordered, and the amount of the claim, and must be verified by the oath of the claimant or some one for him having knowledge thereof to the effect that such claim is justly and wholly due and unpaid, and that each item thereof has accrued within one year next before its presentation for payment." We are satisfied that there was a substantial compliance with this requirement. There seems to be no reason why the various claims could not be presented together, so long as the various facts demanded by the law were recited for the intelligent guidance of the trustees. The instrument in question here contained a very full statement of the "basis of the claim" and concluded as follows: "The names of the respective claimants and the sums in which they respectively claim that they are entitled to reimbursement are as follows:"City of Fresno, Dr. "For 20% excess paid upon city taxes as follows: Am't due for which reimbursement To: -- Names. 1st Inst. Date 2nd Inst. Date is claimed. James Porteous .. $137.79 Nov. 6/09 $132.88 Apr. 20/10 $45.11 M. R. Madary .... 14.29 Nov. 29/09 12.06 Apr. 25/10 4.39" Then followed the other names with amounts and, dates similarly arranged and at the bottom of the list was signed: "M. K. Harris and Milton M. Dearing, attorneys for each of said claimants," and a verification in proper form by said attorneys was attached. We think this should satisfy the most captious.
The judgment, in our opinion, should be affirmed, and it is so ordered.
Hart, J., and Chipman, P. J., concurred.
A petition to have the cause heard in the supreme court, after judgment in the district court of appeal, was denied by the supreme court on December 13, 1912.

Having occasional feelings of anxiety is a normal part of life. But people with anxiety disorders experience frequent and excessive anxiety, fear, terror and panic in regards to everyday situations. These feelings are unhealthy if they affect your quality of life and prevent you from functioning in a normal manner.
Common symptoms of anxiety disorders include:
- Feeling nervous
- Feeling helpless
- A sense of impending panic, danger or doom
- Increased heart rate
- Obsessively thinking about the panic trigger
Some of the many types of anxiety disorders are:
- Generalized anxiety disorder is persistent and excessive anxiety about everyday events or activities. The fear is generally disproportionate to the actual circumstance. It’s difficult to control and interferes with your ability to do daily tasks.
- Separation anxiety disorder is a childhood disorder that is an excessive amount of anxiety caused by the separation from parents or others in a parental role.
- Social anxiety disorder is a high level of fear, anxiety or avoidance of social situations caused by feelings of embarrassment, self-consciousness and concern about being judged or viewed negatively.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder is having unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). You feel driven to perform these compulsive acts to ease your anxiety.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder is anxiety triggered by a traumatic event by either experiencing or witnessing it. It may begin soon after the event occurs, or symptoms may not appear until many years after.
- Selective mutism is a consistent failure to speak in certain situations, such as in front of a group of people or even at home with family or friends. It can interfere with your work, school or some social situations.
- Panic disorder is repeated instances of sudden feelings of intense anxiety or terror that reach a peak within minutes. These episodes are often referred to as panic attacks. Common symptoms are feelings of impending doom, heart palpitations, chest pain and shortness of breath.
- Agoraphobia is an anxiety about places or situations that might make you feel trapped or helpless. This anxiety will often cause you to avoid these types of places or situations.
- Specific phobias are anxiety disorders that center on a specific object or situation and your desire to avoid it. Things like spiders, snakes, water, blood, heights, flying, germs and closed spaces can be specific panic triggers. Many people have these fears to a lesser extent than those with specific phobias, who may have actual panic attacks and other disabling symptoms associated with an anxiety disorder.
- Substance-induced anxiety disorder is a direct result of abusing drugs, taking medications, being exposed to a toxic chemical or withdrawal from drugs.
You should see your health care provider if your anxiety is affecting your quality of life. If you’re worrying too much and it interferes with your work, relationships or other parts of your life, it’s time to seek a medical opinion. Your primary care provider can help rule out any underlying physical health issue before seeing a mental health professional. Anxiety disorders can cause depression, substance abuse, physical health problems or suicidal thoughts, which all should lead you to seek treatment as soon as possible.
The two major forms of treatment for anxiety disorders are psychotherapy and medication. You may benefit most from a combination of the two, and you should work with your health care provider to discover which form of treatment best serves you.

The number of patients with low vision is increasing as life expectancy increases. In addition, the interest and demand for low vision aids are also increasing with improved socioeconomic status and the development of mass media. Therefore, it is imperative to recognize the importance of low vision aids. We reviewed the clinical records of 118 patients who visited our low vision clinic more than twice. According to the data analyzed, optic nerve atrophy, retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration were the most common causes of low vision in these patients. The best corrected visual acuities without low vision aids were less than 0.3, but with the help of low vision aids, vision improved to more than 0.4 in 87% of the patients for near vision, and 56% for distant vision. The patients had complained that they could not read books, see a blackboard, recognize a person at a distance, and had other problems because of low vision. However, with the use of low vision aids their satisfaction with their vision rose to 70%. Hand magnifiers, high-powered spectacle lenses, and stand magnifiers were the low vision aids commonly used by people for near vision, while the Galilean telescope and Keplerian telescope were the most popular devices used for distant vision. In conclusion, low vision aids are very helpful devices to patients with low vision. (+info)
Adaptive changes in early and late blind: a fMRI study of Braille reading.
Braille reading depends on remarkable adaptations that connect the somatosensory system to language. We hypothesized that the pattern of cortical activations in blind individuals reading Braille would reflect these adaptations. Activations in visual (occipital-temporal), frontal-language, and somatosensory cortex in blind individuals reading Braille were examined for evidence of differences relative to previously reported studies of sighted subjects reading print or receiving tactile stimulation. Nine congenitally blind and seven late-onset blind subjects were studied with fMRI as they covertly performed verb generation in response to reading Braille embossed nouns. The control task was reading the nonlexical Braille string "######". This study emphasized image analysis in individual subjects rather than pooled data. Group differences were examined by comparing magnitudes and spatial extent of activated regions first determined to be significant using the general linear model. The major adaptive change was robust activation of visual cortex despite the complete absence of vision in all subjects. This included foci in peri-calcarine, lingual, cuneus and fusiform cortex, and in the lateral and superior occipital gyri encompassing primary (V1), secondary (V2), and higher tier (VP, V4v, LO and possibly V3A) visual areas previously identified in sighted subjects. Subjects who never had vision differed from late blind subjects in showing even greater activity in occipital-temporal cortex, provisionally corresponding to V5/MT and V8. In addition, the early blind had stronger activation of occipital cortex located contralateral to the hand used for reading Braille. Responses in frontal and parietal cortex were nearly identical in both subject groups. There was no evidence of modifications in frontal cortex language areas (inferior frontal gyrus and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex). Surprisingly, there was also no evidence of an adaptive expansion of the somatosensory or primary motor cortex dedicated to the Braille reading finger(s). Lack of evidence for an expected enlargement of the somatosensory representation may have resulted from balanced tactile stimulation and gross motor demands during Braille reading of nouns and the control fields. Extensive engagement of visual cortex without vision is discussed in reference to the special demands of Braille reading. It is argued that these responses may represent critical language processing mechanisms normally present in visual cortex. (+info)

PURPOSE: To evaluate a model of simulated pixelized prosthetic vision using noncontiguous circular phosphenes, to test the effects of phosphene and grid parameters on facial recognition. METHODS: A video headset was used to view a reference set of four faces, followed by a partially averted image of one of those faces viewed through a square pixelizing grid that contained 10x10 to 32x32 dots separated by gaps. The grid size, dot size, gap width, dot dropout rate, and gray-scale resolution were varied separately about a standard test condition, for a total of 16 conditions. All tests were first performed at 99% contrast and then repeated at 12.5% contrast. RESULTS: Discrimination speed and performance were influenced by all stimulus parameters. The subjects achieved highly significant facial recognition accuracy for all high-contrast tests except for grids with 70% random dot dropout and two gray levels. In low-contrast tests, significant facial recognition accuracy was achieved for all but the most adverse grid parameters: total grid area less than 17% of the target image, 70% dropout, four or fewer gray levels, and a gap of 40.5 arcmin. For difficult test conditions, a pronounced learning effect was noticed during high-contrast trials, and a more subtle practice effect on timing was evident during subsequent low-contrast trials. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that reliable face recognition with crude pixelized grids can be learned and may be possible, even with a crude visual prosthesis. (+info)
Improved mobility and independence of night-blind people using night-vision goggles.
PURPOSE: To investigate whether the use of night-vision goggles (NVGs) by night-blind people improves their mobility and sense of independence under dark circumstances. METHODS: Twenty night-blind subjects with retinitis pigmentosa were requested to walk predetermined routes at night with and without NVGs. The number of unintended contacts with obstacles (hits) and the percentage of preferred walking speed (PPWS) en route were assessed in three different situations: a darkened indoor corridor; a moderately lit outdoor residential area; and a well-lit outdoor shopping area. Assessments were performed before and after a 5-week training period, during which the subjects practiced using NVGs in their own surroundings, registered their experiences in a journal, and filled out questionnaires. RESULTS: The mean number of hits in the darkened corridor declined from eight to two when NVGs were used. Mean PPWS (34%) did not improve. In the residential area, mean hits declined from eight to practically zero and mean PPWS increased from 60% to 72% (after training to 78%). In the shopping area, subjects walked at 93% PPWS without any hits and showed no improvement with NVGs. Subjective scores revealed a good sense of orientation, feelings of safety and tranquility and an increase in independent mobility when NVGs were used. CONCLUSIONS: Using NVGs seems to improve nighttime mobility in dark outdoor conditions by decreasing unintended contacts with obstacles and increasing walking speed. Use of NVGs increased independent activities in these subjects and was generally positively evaluated for everyday outdoor use. (+info)
Enhanced low vision rehabilitation for people with age related macular degeneration: a randomised controlled trial.
AIM: To compare the effectiveness of three models of low vision rehabilitation for people with age related macular degeneration (AMD) referred for low vision rehabilitation (LVR): (a) an enhanced low vision rehabilitation model (ELVR) including supplementary home based low vision rehabilitation; (b) conventional low vision rehabilitation (CLVR) based in a hospital clinic; (c) CLVR with home visits that did not include rehabilitation (CELVR), intended to act as a control for the additional contact time with ELVR. METHOD: A single centre parallel group randomised controlled trial in participants' homes and the low vision clinic, Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. People referred for LVR with a primary diagnosis of AMD and visual acuity worse than 6/18 in both eyes and equal to or better than 1/60 in the better eye. The main outcome measures were vision specific quality of life (QoL) (primary outcome, VCM1) and generic health related QoL (SF-36); psychological adjustment to vision loss; measured task performance; restriction in everyday activities; use of low vision aids (LVAs). RESULTS: 226 participants were recruited (median age 82 years); 194 completed the trial (86%). Except for SF-36 physical and mental component summary scores, arms did not differ significantly for any of the outcomes. Differences for the VCM1 were ELVR v CLVR, 0.06 (95% CI to 0.17 to 0.30, p = 0.60); ELVR v CELVR, 0.12 (95% CI to 0.11 to 0.34, p = 0.31); CELVR v CLVR, -0.05 (95% CI -0.29 to 0.18, p = 0.64). Differences for the SF-36 favoured CLVR compared to ELVR (ELVR v CLVR: physical = -6.05, 95% CI -10.2 to -1.91, p = 0.004; mental = -4.04, 95% CI -7.44 to -0.65, p = 0.02). At 12 months, 94% of participants reported using at least one LVA. CONCLUSION: ELVR was no more effective than CLVR. Researchers should be wary of proposing new LVR interventions without preliminary evidence of effectiveness, given the manifest lack of effectiveness of the model of enhanced LVR evaluated in the trial.

Computerized microfluidic cell culture using elastomeric channels and Braille displays.
Computer-controlled microfluidics would advance many types of cellular assays and microscale tissue engineering studies wherever spatiotemporal changes in fluidics need to be defined. However, this goal has been elusive because of the limited availability of integrated, programmable pumps and valves. This paper demonstrates how a refreshable Braille display, with its grid of 320 vertically moving pins, can power integrated pumps and valves through localized deformations of channel networks within elastic silicone rubber. The resulting computerized fluidic control is able to switch among: (i) rapid and efficient mixing between streams, (ii) multiple laminar flows with minimal mixing between streams, and (iii) segmented plug-flow of immiscible fluids within the same channel architecture. The same control method is used to precisely seed cells, compartmentalize them into distinct subpopulations through channel reconfiguration, and culture each cell subpopulation for up to 3 weeks under perfusion. These reliable microscale cell cultures showed gradients of cellular behavior from C2C12 myoblasts along channel lengths, as well as differences in cell density of undifferentiated myoblasts and differentiation patterns, both programmable through different flow rates of serum-containing media. This technology will allow future microscale tissue or cell studies to be more accessible, especially for high-throughput, complex, and long-term experiments. The microfluidic actuation method described is versatile and computer programmable, yet simple, well packaged, and portable enough for personal use. (+info)
Design specifications of audio-guidance systems for the blind in public spaces.
The government of Fukuoka City conducted a survey to determine the effectiveness of an audio-guidance system for the blind. The blind participants confirmed the usefulness of the audio-guidance. In addition, the blind participants and the walking instructors also provided various comments and suggestions for the better utilization of audio-guidance systems for smoother transportation. In order for the participants to be able to recognize auditory signals, it was important to be able to hear them at their peak volumes. To understand the actual meaning of announcements, however, the average volumes of the signals were more important than their peak volumes. The blind participants suggested that auditory signals and announcements should provide short and simple messages. The walking instructors provided comments regarding the placement of loudspeakers to enhance auditory localization. They recommended hanging the loudspeakers from ceilings located in front of passengers. Furthermore, the necessity of controlling excess reverberations was indicated in order to better enable blind citizens to recognize and localize the auditory signals. It was suggested that using different auditory signals for different purposes and places was effective for smoother transportation. (+info)
Bioptic telescopes meet the needs of drivers with moderate visual acuity loss.
PURPOSE: Visually impaired people are permitted to use bioptic telescopes for driving in many states in the United States. However, it has been suggested that the telescope is used only to meet the visual acuity criteria for licensure. In this study, a survey was used to establish the extent to which bioptic telescopes are used by and meet the driving needs of people with moderately reduced visual acuity. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of 58 bioptic drivers was administered by telephone interview. Bioptic telescope usage patterns were quantified with questions designed specifically for the study. Driving patterns were quantified by use of the Driving Habits Questionnaire. Subjects were recruited from four sources across the United States to ensure a range of bioptic training and driving experience. RESULTS: The majority (74%) rated the bioptic telescope as very helpful, and almost all (90%) would continue to use it for driving, even if it were not required for driving licensure; however, only 62% reported always wearing the bioptic when driving. Subjects had relatively unrestricted driving habits, driving a mean of 222 +/- 211 miles per week, and 85% aged < or =65 years drove to work. With the exception of driving in rain, in bright sunlight, and at night, there was little difficulty with driving in a variety of situations, and levels of driving avoidance due to vision impairment were low (<10%). CONCLUSIONS: The bioptic telescope met the (self-reported) driving needs of the majority of visually impaired drivers in this survey and was found to be a useful aid for tasks requiring resolution of detail.

THE SKY IS MELTING
By NICHOLAS WADE; Nicholas Wade is a member of The New York Times's editorial board.
Published: October 8, 1989
THE END OF NATURE By Bill McKibben. 226 pp. New York: Random House. $19.95
When, Milton reports in ''Paradise Lost,'' Adam asked the archangel Raphael to explain the movement of the heavens, he was rebuffed with some frosty words about man dwelling in ''An edifice too large for him to fill, / Lodg'd in a small partition, and the rest / Ordain'd for uses to his Lord best known.'' Bill McKibben, a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, quotes the put-down with approval at the conclusion of his interesting essay, ''The End of Nature.'' The greenhouse effect is his text, and his moral is that humankind should stick to its small partition, halting its implicit program of polluting, dominating and managing the natural world.
By the end of nature Mr. McKibben means the end of nature as a force independent of man. He sees nature being dominated in two ways. First, the pollution created by human societies has now begun to have global impact. The damage to the life-protecting ozone layer in the stratosphere is one example. The feared climatic warming from the greenhouse effect, which Mr. McKibben considers to be a sure thing, is another.
We may be able to avert disaster by delaying or adapting to the greenhouse warming, just as international action has been taken against the chemicals that chew up the ozone layer. But Mr. McKibben is not happy with this outcome, for it would lead us into managing the globe's climate and into using technologies like genetic engineering, both of which will further erode the independence of nature. This is the second sense in which he believes nature is ending.
Instead of continuing the unchecked materialism of our economic march, Mr. McKibben says, we should now accept limits to our rights over nature, even if that means consuming less. ''This could be the epoch when people decide at least to go no farther down the path we've been following - when we make not only the necessary technological adjustments to preserve the world from overheating but also the necessary mental adjustments to ensure that we'll never again put our good ahead of everything else's.''
It would be easy to dismiss the thesis as a restatement of the limits-to-growth debate or as yet another instance of how everyone uses the greenhouse effect to promote his own agenda. It is tempting to note the contrast between Mr. McKibben's ascetic message and his easy life style - he tells the reader about his Honda car, his large house in the woods, his heating system, his new fax machine and his recently purchased telescope. It would be reasonable to argue with his unmitigated trust in the computer models used to predict the greenhouse warming and his exaggeration of the present powers of genetic engineering.
But all such pretexts for dismissing the book would be easy ways of avoiding the hard questions it raises. The economic frame of reference in which most public debate takes place sets no intrinsic value on natural beauty or uniqueness. Unless protected by special laws like the Endangered Species Act, natural habitats almost always yield to the bulldozer. The South Platte River in Colorado would have been dammed, but for the decision of the chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, William K. Reilly, who overrode the routine decisions made by local officials.
Biologists and environmentalists want to save the world's tropical rain forests for one reason - the intrinsic value of these ancient nurseries of life. But they know they won't prevail with that argument. So they point instead to the forests' value to man - the medicinal plants, the lumber, the nuts and fruits, the green lungs that cleanse the air of the carbon dioxide exhaled by industrial civilizations. Mr. McKibben contends there is something wrong with the terms of a debate in which the beauty and uniqueness of the rain forest count for nothing, and he is surely right.
The conventional reply to critics like Mr. McKibben is that prosperity and individual choice are also high values, that economic systems always adapt with unexpected success to scarcity or the constraints imposed by anti-pollution laws and that better or more cleverly applied technology is a surer answer to environmental destruction than repudiating technical advance. The conventional wisdom is probably the right approach to even the greenhouse effect. Yet it may not suffice. If the climate heats up, and if the rate of warming should prove too fast for natural systems to adapt to, then there could be widespread ecological collapse. Mr. McKibben is too glib in assuming this to be an already certain outcome. Most climatologists are unwilling to state that any degree of greenhouse warming has begun. But for a man preaching apocalypse, he speaks in a measured and civilized voice that deserves a hearing. Even those who reject his idea that humans should not exceed the limits of their small partition may pause to wonder if the balance between man's progress and nature's decline has been struck at the right point. TOO DARN HOT
The American summer of 1988, when no one talked about anything but the heat and when it would end, was, on average, only a degree or two warmer than what we were used to. But the [ computer ] models predict summer could soon be 5 or 6 or 7 degrees warmer than the old ''normal.'' Science has yet to devise a way of measuring what percentage of people feel like human beings on any given August afternoon . . . or, for that matter, reckoning the lost wit and civility in a population concerned mainly with keeping its shirts dry. . . . A future full of summers like that is a grim prospect. Summer will come to mean something different - not the carefree season anymore but a time to grit one's teeth and survive. Summer will mean something new in Omaha if the temperature is above 95 degrees fifty days instead of the current thirteen, and in Memphis if it fails to fall below 75 degrees ninety nights a year instead of today's twenty. We can air-condition, of course. . . . Perhaps summer will become the season when no one goes outdoors. From ''The End of Nature.''

Koffee With Karan is one show that has always grabbed people’s attention due to its risque content and unabashed statements made by celebs who grace the couch.
From courting controversy after cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul’s remarks to leaving late Rishi Kapoor fuming post the Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone episode where they took potshots at Ranbir Kapoor, Koffee With Karan has always made headlines.
Back in 2014, Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla graced the couch to promote their film Gulaab Gang.
During a segment, Karan showed an AV of several new-age actors talking about their love and admiration for Madhuri and Juhi. This AV included actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan, Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra.
While talking about his love for Madhuri Dixit, Sidharth called her the “Dhak Dhak Girl” and said she is a “superb dancer and her (dance) move that comes to my mind. Ya, the girl you wanna take to your bedroom.”
Sidharth’s “bedroom” comment left Juhi giggling while a red-faced Madhuri reacted, “Ooh, I am scandalised.” She then turned to Karan Johar and asked in astonishment, “Did he just say that?”
Check out the screengrabs of Madhuri’s reactions below:
After the AV ended, Karan then asked Madhuri and Juhi, “So, what does it feel like when you have young boys lust for you now?”
While Juhi was dumbfounded for a moment, Madhuri immediately responded, “Very flattering” adding, “wasting your time and mine.”
Juhi added, “I am glad. I think she (Madhuri) answered for both of us.”
Later, in the same year, Sidharth had visited the sets of dance-based reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, to promote his film Ek Villain. Both Karan and Madhuri were the judges of the show at that time.
Once again, expressing his admiration for the actress, Sidharth sang Galliyan song for Madhuri and went down on his knees inviting her to dance with him leaving her blushing.
