  • Stars to Back Reading for Black History Month Harvey from So Solid Crew
    Stars to back reading for Black History Month Harvey from So Solid Crew and BBC presenter Reggie Yates are among the celebrities promoting reading on a new set of posters to celebrate Black History Month. The posters have been produced by Passionet, the UK’s largest online multicultural bookstore, and the National Literacy Trust. The stars are taking part in the Passionet Star Reads campaign, which will be launched for Black History Month to help encourage young people to read – particularly those from black and ethnic minority communities. The posters are available in a set of six and come with recommended reading lists of urban and multicultural books designed to appeal to 5-8 year-olds, 9-11 year-olds and 11-14 year-olds. Passionet’s Managing Director Natalie Smith comments, “Over the three years that Passionet has been around, we have run workshops in schools and worked in communities nationwide. We are committed to encouraging young people to read books that reflect their lives and interests and get them excited and inspired about reading, and Star Reads is an opportunity to do just this.” Director of the National Literacy Trust Neil McClelland adds, “By teaming up with celebrities, Star Reads can help to inspire young people to become lifelong readers. We are delighted that these stars have given their time to help reach out to young people in this innovative way.” The posters can be ordered online at www.starreads.org from 11 September 2006. The first 1,000 sets ordered are available at the special Star Reads price of £12.99; sets are priced £15.99 thereafter.

  • The Amending Process in the House of Representatives
    The Amending Process in the House of Representatives Christopher M. Davis Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process Updated September 16, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov 98-995 The Amending Process in the House of Representatives Summary Most amendments that Representatives propose to legislation on the House floor are offered in the Committee of the Whole. Measures considered under suspension of the rules are not subject to floor amendments, and few amendments are proposed to bills and resolutions considered in the House or in the House as in Committee of the Whole. The House’s procedures recognize distinctions between first- and second-degree amendments, between perfecting and substitute amendments, and among amendments in the forms of motions to strike, to insert, and to strike out and insert. An amendment in the nature of a substitute proposes to replace the entire text of a bill or resolution. All amendments must be germane to the text they would amend, and they are subject to other general prohibitions such as that against proposing only to re-amend language that has already been fully amended. Additional restrictions apply to appropriations and tax amendments, and the budget process creates various other points of order that Members may make against certain amendments. In general, a Member must make a point of order against an amendment before debate on it begins unless that point of order is waived by a special rule. Under an open amendment process in the Committee of the Whole, measures are usually considered for amendment one section or paragraph at a time.

  • A Guide to the Bill Arhos Collection of Austin City Limits
    A Guide to the Bill Arhos Collection of Austin City Limits 1974-2002 Collection 067 Descriptive Summary Creator: Arhos, Bill Title: The Bill Arhos Collection of Austin City Limits Dates: 1974-2002 Abstract: The Bill Arhos Collection contains documents and artifacts relevant to Austin City Limits and artists connected to the show, gathered by Bill Arhos, co-creator, executive producer, and program director. It includes press clippings, publicity materials, photographs, correspondence, galley proofs for the book Austin City Limits by Cliff Endres, and memorabilia. Identification: Collection 067 Extent: 2 boxes, 1 linear foot Language: English Repository: The Wittliff Collections, Texas State University Organizational History & Biographical Sketch Austin City Limits, a television program showcasing musicians in concert performances, was founded in 1974 by Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) affiliate station KLRU-TV in Austin, TX. The show’s creators were Bill Arhos, then program director, as well as Paul Bosner and Bruce Scafe, who subsequently produced and directed programs for the series. Their aim was to develop a locally produced program that could attract national attention through distribution to PBS affiliates. Capitalizing on the growing Austin music scene of the 1970s, Arhos received PBS funding for a pilot show featuring Willie Nelson and Family. Station executives across the country liked the pilot and funded filming for Austin City Limits first season, thirteen shows that were taped in 1975 and premiered in 1976. Austin City Limits continues to follow that filming schedule with each season taped during one calendar year and aired the next. The one-hour programs usually pair two musicians, each given thirty-minute segments in which to deliver an uninterrupted, concert-style performance to a studio audience.

  • Review of the Birth of the Bill of Rights by Robert Allen Rutland
    19561 BOOK REVIEWS The Birth of the Bill of Rights. By Robert Allen Rutland. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1955. Pp. 243. $5.00. The federal Bill of Rights is one of the most cherished documents in our national hagiography. Its clauses have been invoked by contending parties in every crisis of our history. Every sort of minority interest has sought se- curity in its generous phrases. Its meaning has long been the subject of in- tense controversy among lawyers and judges. The judicial gloss upon its words and phrases has attained enormous proportions. Yet in spite of all this, surprisingly little scholarly work has been done on the history of the Bill of Rights.1 The interest of American historians in constitutional history, once so pronounced, seems to have spent itself. Such newer pastures as those of in- tellectual and business history appear to be greener. It is a long time since our historians have produced a significant new work in the field of constitu- tional history. Political scientists and legal scholars are gradually moving in to fill the vacuum.2 We have had, of course, a number of historical studies of particular aspects of civil liberties,3 but we have never had a thorough, criti- cal, substantial, scholarly study of the origins of the American Bill of Rights. In fact, Rutland's treatise, The Birth of the Bill of Rights, is, to my knowl- edge, the first book-length study by a historical scholar ever written on the subject. While Rutland should be given credit for making the attempt, his book does not by any means fill this gap in historical scholarship.
