A Congress Created

Perhaps the greatest debate undertaken by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 centered on how many representatives each state should have in the new government's lawmaking branch, the U.S. Congress. As is often the case in government and politics, resolving a great debate, required a Great Compromise. Early in the Constitutional Convention, delegates envisioned a Congress consisting of only a single chamber with a certain number of representatives from each state. The burning question was, how many representatives from each state? Delegates from the larger, more populous states favored the Virginia Plan, which called for each state to have a different number of representatives based on the state’s population. Delegates from smaller states supported the New Jersey plan, under which each state would send the same number of representatives to Congress. Connecticut delegate Roger Sherman is credited with proposing the alternative of a "bicameral," or two-chambered Congress, made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives. Each state, suggested Sherman, would send an equal number of representatives to the Senate, and one representative to the House for each 30,000 residents of the state. At the time, all the states except Pennsylvania had bicameral legislatures, so the delegates were familiar with the structure of Congress proposed by Sherman. Sherman’s plan pleased delegates from both the large and small states and became known as the Connecticut Compromise of 1787, or the Great Compromise. The structure and powers of the new U.S. Congress, as proposed by the delegates of the Constitutional Convention, were explained to the people by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison in [|the Federalist Papers 52-66]. Today, each state is represented in Congress by two Senators and a variable number of members of the House of Representatives based on the state’s population as reported in the most recent decennial census. The process of fairly determining the number of members of the House from each state is called "[|apportionment]." The first census in 1790 counted 4 million Americans. Based on that count, the total number of members elected to the House of Representatives grew from the original 65 to 106. The current House membership of 435 was set by Congress in 1911.

16. Find a recipe for peanut butter cookies.
1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 cup peanut butter 2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 cup oatsPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together shortening and sugars (butter may be used as the shortening but cookies will spread more and brown more quickly). Add eggs and beat well. Mix in peanut butter. Mix together flour, salt, baking soda and add to the creamed sugar mixture. Mix well. Stir in oats. Form dough into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheets. Flatten with a glass or the tines of a fork. Bake for 12 minutes at 350°F (slightly underbaked is better than overbaked - so watch carefully or cookies will be dry). || www.cooks.com (Dana Rose, Buchanan Middle School.

18. Who is the architect of the Milwaukee Art Museum's new expansion?
=TRAVEL ADVISORY; Milwaukee Art Museum Reopens Friday, Bigger=

Published: Sunday, April 29, 2001
The Milwaukee Art Museum will reopen on Friday after a $100 million expansion and renovation that features an addition by the **Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava.** Inspired by the museum's location on Lake Michigan, Mr. Calatrava incorporated nautical themes in his design; the curve of the single-story galleria was designed to resemble a wave, for example. A focal point of the addition is a 90-foot-high glass reception hall, to open in September, with movable steel louvers that act as a sunscreen and evoke the wings of a bird. The museum's expansion is Mr. Calatrava's first completed work in the United States. O'Keeffe's O'Keeffes: The Artist's Collection, 73 works by Georgia O'Keeffe, will be on display through Aug. 19 in the new Quadracci Pavilion. The exhibition includes pieces from private collections and from O'Keeffe's own. Featured are some works that have never been exhibited together, including several charcoal drawings, watercolors and most of O'Keeffe's Series paintings of 1918-20. In addition, expanded gallery space will allow the Milwaukee Art Museum to feature objects from its permanent collection that have not been shown for years. One is a 13- by 19-foot Flemish tapestry dating to the 16th century, now hanging in the Renaissance gallery. The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 North Art Museum Drive, is open Tuesday to Sunday, including Thursday and Friday evening. Information: (414) 224-3200 or www.mam.org. General admission is $6, plus $6 for the O'Keeffe exhibition (timed entry). Tickets: (866) 626-1323 (toll free) or online at www.museumtix.com.

22. John Wilkes Booth, of course, pulled the trigger, but there surely were people who helped him plan the crime, and Thomas Gates was one of them. True ???
False. according to americanhistory.about.com the eight conspirators were Lewis Powell(or Paine/Payne), David Herold, George Atzerodt, Mary Surratt, Dr. Samuel Mudd, Samuel Arnold, Michael O"laughlen, Edman Spangler. The first four were executed, the remaining four given life in prison, although some were pardoned. The only place I found the name Thomas Gates with information on an assassination was Thomas Gates listed with the Columbia University Oral History Program on Kennedy's assassination, and that came from the following web site: www.randomhouse.com/features/bamford/bib.htm.

26. Find a home remedy for getting rid of fruit flies.
=Homemade Remedies to Get Rid of Fruit Flies= October 22, 2007 by [|Kassidy Emmerson] [|Kassidy Emmerson]

Get Rid Of the Attractions The first step to get rid of fruit flies is to remove the source of their attraction. In my case, it was the ripe tomatoes. They also love ripe bananas, apples, mangoes, sweet drinks such as iced tea and Kool-Aid, and many other fruits and vegetables. (They love fruit and vegetable juices as well.)

Fruit flies also are attracted to garbage. When you're looking for the thing(s) that's attracting these flying pests, don't forget to look for soiled sponges and dish rags, food and drink spills, and, check your [|kitchen] drain. They sometimes hang around drains because it provides moisture and food scraps, two things they need to survive and reproduce. Fruit flies not only eat ripe and rotting food, but they also lay their eggs in it.

Homemade Remedy #1- Apple Cider Vinegar Trap Besides getting rid of the basket of tomatoes (I made juice out of them), I searched my [|kitchen] for any other food items sitting out that could attract fruit flies. Then, I made an inexpensive Apple Cider Vinegar Trap to get rid of them. Simply remove the metals lids off three or four empty baby food jars. Use a very small nail or brad and a tack hammer to poke several holes through the tops of the jar lids.

Next, fill each jar about half full with Apple Cider Vinegar- not White Vinegar. They'll only be attracted to the fruit smell of Apple Cider. Then, replace the lids and set the baby food jars around your kitchen.

website: www.associatedcontent.com/ (Dana Rose, Buchanan Middle School) There were several sites that had many ways to get rid of fruit flies. The most humorous, and largest list, was www.thriftyfun.com.

28. How many words are there in the English language?
There is no single sensible answer to this question. It is impossible to count the number of words in a language, because it is so hard to decide what counts as a word. Is dog one word, or two (a noun meaning 'a kind of animal', and a verb meaning 'to follow persistently')? If we count it as two, then do we count inflections separately too (dogs plural noun, dogs present tense of the verb). Is dog-tired a word, or just two other words joined together? Is hot dog really two words, since we might also find hot-dog or even hotdog? It is also difficult to decide what counts as 'English'. What about medical and scientific terms? Latin words used in law, French words used in cooking, German words used in academic writing, Japanese words used in martial arts? Do you count Scots dialect? Youth slang? Computing jargon? The Second Edition of the //Oxford English Dictionary// contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. These figures take no account of entries with senses for different parts of speech (such as noun and adjective). This suggests that **there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words, excluding inflections, and words from technical and regional vocabulary not covered by the //OED//, or words not yet added to the published dictionary, of which perhaps 20 per cent are no longer in current use. If distinct senses were counted, the total would probably approach three quarters of a million.**
