Military Bound Land
This article originally appeared in "Land Records" by Sandra Hargreaves Luebking, FUGA in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
The granting of military bounty land in the United States to encourage enlistments or reward previous service began in colonial times, but its legislative heyday was from 1788 to 1855, though claims were still being received by the federal government in the 1960s. Genealogists find bounty-land records especially attractive because they serve the dual role of locating persons in time and place and of proving military service. Applications sometimes contain a wealth of information, especially when heirs claimed lands.
Colonial legislatures gave land for military service, such as for the Narragansett campaign of King Philip's War, 1675 to 1676, but these were mostly private acts passed to reward meritorious service to the colony. In 1701, Virginia passed an act promising two hundred acres free of quitrents for twenty years to those who would make armed settlements on the Indian frontier. The Crown's proclamation of 1763 ordered the colonies to give bounty land for service in the French and Indian War to 'reduced' (indigent) officers and to British Army privates mustered out in the colonies who intended to remain there. This did not include militia units. In 1776, Congress promised so-called 'Hessian deserters' fifty acres but had few takers. Also in 1776, Congress promised bounty land to soldiers of the Continental line, with privates and noncommissioned officers to get one hundred acres, captains three hundred acres, and other ranks various amounts. States that likewise promised or afterward gave bounty lands were Massachusetts (with Maine), New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia.51 Lloyd D. Bockstruck's Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants Awarded by State Governments is a master index to approximately 35,000 persons named in the grants from these nine states.52 The states that did not give Revolutionary War bounty lands were New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Delaware.
North Carolina was the most generous, giving 640 acres (a square mile) to a private in the Continental line. The tract was in Tennessee; no bounty land warrants were located within the present-day boundaries of North Carolina. Maryland gave the smallest amount, fifty acres to a private, but that state had very little western land to give. The attached image and the attached chart shows the locations of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 military reserves. Massachusetts grants were in what became Maine but were in no specific reserve. Privates who got a one hundred-acre warrant from the federal government for revolutionary service were not eligible for a Massachusetts state grant. Soldiers of the Continental line from other states could take both the federal and their state land bounties. (See the 'Summary of Land Records by State' at the end of this chapter for brief references to bounty-land records. For Massachusetts, see Maine.) Paul Gates's History of Public Land Law Development, discusses aspects of various state grants. Gates states, without elaborating, that Connecticut gave bounty land; but this seems to refer to the 'Fire Lands' in Ohio granted to Connecticut residents burned out in the revolution rather than to grants to soldiers.53 Virginia is discussed below because its bounty-land records are widely scattered.
Congress was slow to redeem its promise of land for its soldiers. In 1788, it directed that bounty-land warrants be issued to those applying. But the U.S. Military District in Ohio, the only federal lands where federal revolutionary warrants could be used until 1830, did not open until 1796'a full fifteen years after victory at Yorktown. By then, the Ohio Company and John Cleves Symmes in 1787 and 1788 had purchased millions of Ohio acres on credit from Congress and were permitted to pay one-seventh of the price in federal bounty-land warrants. Therefore, land offices of the two speculations accepted some federal warrants, the earliest locales where they could be used. The Ohio Company Purchase records are at Marietta College. The private Symmes papers were mostly destroyed in a fire. Congress also created three military reserves for veterans of the War of 1812, but there were no federal reserves after these three, which were in Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri. Warrants usable in the Virginia and U.S. military districts in Ohio were made redeemable by scrip acts in 1830 and 1832, respectively, in any GLO land offices in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. In 1842, all federal bounty-land warrants were made good for purchases at any GLO land office.
The 1788 act also stipulated that the warrants were assignable, meaning the soldier could sell his warrant and not wait to take the land. This created an instant market in bounty warrants and allowed land speculators to accumulate large quantities of warrants and land. Paul Gates shows that fewer than one soldier (or his heirs) in ten got land by using his warrant under any federal bounty-land act. Instead, most soldiers sold their rights, using the back of the warrant to assign it to the buyer, who might in turn assign the warrant to another buyer. Sometimes the assignment left the buyer's name blank, to be filled in by the last purchaser. The warrant certificates issued to Mexican War veterans were folios, with the insides and back unprinted so they could be used for assignments.
The warrant market was big business, especially when warrants were no longer restricted to military reserve lands (this happened under an act in 1842). Major brokerage firms dealt extensively in warrants, buying in the eastern states and selling to western land brokers and settlers. Financial newspapers in the boom years of the 1850s frequently carried price quotations. The government set a price ceiling from 1820 by charging a flat $1.25 per acre for most of its lands. The average market price peaked at about $1.20 an acre in 1854'55 for 160-acre warrants, just before the market was flooded by the act of 1855.57 More warrants were used in Iowa than in any other state, and it is estimated that half of Iowa was purchased with bounty-land warrants.
The federal government gave no bounty land for service after 1855, but Union veterans of the Civil War received special homestead rights in 1870, when an amendment to the 1862 Homestead Act gave them the right to claim 160 acres within railroad grant areas (other homesteaders got only 80). Another amendment in 1872 gave Union veterans the right to deduct the length of their war service from the five-year residency needed to prove a homestead.
To get a federal bounty-land warrant it was necessary, under any act from 1788 to 1855, for the soldier or heirs to apply. The warrant applications may be ordered from the National Archives, either online, or by mail using NATF form 85. The details necessary to order an application will be found in various indexes, cited in the following section under the appropriate war. This information is necessary because the applications are arranged by the year of the act of Congress that authorized them, the certificate or warrant number, and the number of acres granted for warrants under the acts of 1847 to 1855. If the name of a warrantee does not appear in one of the indexes cited, the National Archives will, for a fee, search for the land warrant. Instructions are available at the website cited in this paragraph.
To obtain land, the federal warrant had to be surrendered, usually to a federal land office, in exchange for a patent. The patents, like any other GLO patents, are indexed in the GLO-ARS by name of patentee. (If the warrant was assigned, the name of the patentee will be different than the name of the veteran to whom the warrant was originally issued. A search of warrantees for whom federal land was patented is also available at the GLO-ARS.) The surrendered warrants are in land-entry case files of the patentees. They may be ordered from the National Archives, either online at or by mail to National Archives and Records Administration, Attn: NWCTB, 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20408, using NATF form 84. The case file categories are briefly described in Harry P. Yoshpe's and Philip P. Brower's Preliminary Inventory of the Land-Entry Papers of the General Land Office.55
The following summary, with added explanatory remarks, of the various warrant acts is from Inventory No. 22, and Kenneth Hawkins, 'Research in the Land Entry Files of the General Land Office (Record Group 49), General Leaflet Number 67, 1995, revised and updated at http://www.archives.gov/publications/general_information_leaflets. The number of warrants issued gives the researcher an idea of how many soldiers, or heirs of soldiers, applied under each act. Reference citations are to the respective acts of Congress. (Citation 2 Stat. 236 means volume 2 of U.S. Statutes at Large, p. 236. M804 means National Archives microfilm publication M804.)

`=1. Revolutionary War Warrants in the U.S. Military District in Ohio=
Insert table...
Initially, these assignable warrants were redeemable only for land in the U.S. Military District in Ohio, other than as previously mentioned in the private tracts of Judge Symmes and the Ohio Company. Privates and non-commissioned officers of the Continental line from any state received 100 acres, ensigns 150, lieutenants 200, captains 300, majors 400, lieutenant colonels 450, colonels 500, brigadier generals 850, and major colonels 1,100. The initial minimum grants in the district were for quarter townships of the five-mile dimensions'i.e., five miles to a side or 16,000 acres, thereby requiring warrantees to band together through an agent to reach 4,000 acres or sell out to get some value from their warrants. By 1800, lots as small as one hundred acres were available. In 1832, entries in the district were ended, and those still holding warrants were allowed to trade them for scrip negotiable at GLO land offices in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. From 1842, such scrip was accepted at any GLO land office.
Many warrant application files for the 1788 act were destroyed by fires in 1800 and 1814. Where the warrantee's name is known, a substitute card was made with the note 'no papers.' These cards and the surviving application files are interfiled with the surviving Revolutionary War pension files, all microfilmed on M804, Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files, in 2,670 rolls. This series is indexed for pensions and warrantees in National Genealogical Society, Index of Revolutionary War Pension Applications in the National Archives and in Virgil D. White's Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files, and online.56 Both indexes and M804 cover 'selected records' only. One note: White's last volume indexes names appearing in other individual's pensions. This could be next-of-kin or a person providing an affidavit supporting the applicant's statements.
To aid soldiers who had not met the deadline of the 1788 act, Congress passed a time extension in 1803 that was amended in 1806. The warrants of these acts are numbered in one sequence. Nearly all surrendered warrants, from numbers 1'6912 of the 1788 act, were destroyed. Surviving surrendered warrants of the 1788, 1803, and 1806 acts are filed in land-entry case files and are on U.S. Revolutionary War Bounty Land Warrants Used in the U.S. Military District of Ohio and Related Papers (Acts of 1788, 1803, 1806), in sixteen rolls.57 Since patents were rarely placed in the case files, the U.S. Military District land-entry case files usually contain only the surrendered warrant. The files were microfilmed sequentially, and missing warrants were either lost, misplaced, or never surrendered for land. The few surrendered for scrip under the 1832 and later acts are in that series, but they are cross-referenced on M829. On roll 1 of M829 are two ledgers indexed in Smith's Federal Land Series, vol. 2, once used to record the issuance of warrants. Roll 1 of M829 also has indexes to the ledgers done and/or microfilmed by the National Archives. The pamphlet accompanying M829 describes these records and is available upon request from the National Archives.
War of 1812 Warrants in U.S. Military Districts in Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri
Insert table...
The acts of 1811 and 1812 promised 160 acres to privates and non-commissioned officers who enlisted in regiments raised by Congress and who served for five years, unless discharged sooner or killed. To encourage longer enlistments, the 1814 act doubled the acreage for those who enlisted after 10 December 1814. Officers were given no bounty lands until the acts of 1850 to 1855. The warrants were not legally assignable except by inheritance, and the GLO retained the warrant certificates, issuing the veteran a certificate of notification. These warrants were redeemable only in military reserves in Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri until the act of 1842 made them redeemable at any GLO land office. The warrants became legally assignable in 1852.
The earliest bounty land warrants for service in the War of 1812, issued at the time of the war, are partially reproduced and indexed on M845, War of 1812 Military Bounty Land Warrants 1815'1858, in fourteen rolls. This microfilm also contains warrants for War of 1812 service qualified for under the Act of 1842. Patentees in the Arkansas and Missouri reserves are indexed on roll 1, as are Illinois patentees with surnames beginning with C and D. A CD-ROM index to the film is War of 1812 Military Bounty Land Warrants 1815'1858 by April Leigh Helm and Matthew L. Helm, et al.58 A published index to these records is Virgil D. White's Index to War of 1812 Pension (and Bounty-Land Warrant) Files.59 Because War of 1812 warrants were not legally assignable until 1852, the patent indexes in the GLO-ARS should serve as indexes to original warrantees, though Gates shows that the land speculators got large parts of the reserves, presumably by having the patents processed in the names of the warrantees. This means many veterans patented land they probably never saw. The pamphlet accompanying M848 describes these records and is available upon request from the National Archives. Aside from these microfilmed warrants, there may also be unmicrofilmed warrant application files and land-entry case files in Record Group 15, and scrip files from 1830 are in Record Group 49.
Applications for Bounty-Land Scrip
Insert table...
A shortage of land available for patenting in the U.S. military districts prompted Congress to issue scrip that could be exchanged for unused warrants. At first good only in GLO land offices in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, the scrip, printed in acreage denominations, was eventually unrestricted by acts of 1833 and 1842. A good discussion of military bounty-land scrip and warrants, including those for the Canadian Refugees (1798'1801) and Canadian Volunteers (1815), is in Hone's Land and Property Research in the United States.
Mexican War Bounty-Land Warrants
Insert table...
Congress, in the Mexican War, authorized ten regiments and offered privates and non-commissioned officers (but not officers) 160 acres for serving one year or more and 40 acres for serving less than a year. Alternately, the veteran could apply for $100 or $25 in scrip at six percent interest, acceptable for any payment due to the U.S. government. (This dollar scrip was different from the acreage scrip mentioned in entry number 3 above.) There were no military districts created for Mexican War bounty land, the warrants being redeemable at any GLO land office. They were assignable. As usual, few warrantees, or heirs of warrantees, actually patented land using their warrants. The surrendered warrants are in the land-entry case files of the patentees. The best finding aid to Mexican War warrantees is Index to Mexican War Pension Files, 1887'1926 (T-317), which gives filing information for bounty land warrants granted under the act of 1847.
The Acts of 1850'55
Insert table...
The acts of 1850 to 1855 were not to encourage enlistments but to reward former service. The act of 1850 extended bounty land to officers and enlisted men who had not previously received land and who had served in any war since 1790, including the Indian wars. Nine months' service brought 160 acres, four months' service 80 acres, and one month's service 40 acres. Since there was initial confusion over whether the act made warrants assignable, the GLO commissioner later ruled that it did not. The act of 1852 explicitly made them assignable and extended the 1850 act to militiamen who served after 1812.
The 1855 act extended bounty-land privileges even further by making 160 acres the minimum entitlement and reducing service to fourteen days or even less. Those who traveled 1,200 miles in service were eligible even if they served less time. A veteran or his heirs who had previously received fewer than 160 acres could apply for the balance. Eligibility was extended to chaplains, wagon masters, militia rangers, and volunteers of certain campaigns such as Kings Mountain, the Nickojack Campaign in Tennessee, and the Cook County volunteers in the Black Hawk War. An act of 14 May 1856 extended the 1855 benefits to naval veterans and any Revolutionary War service.
Figures from Inventory No. 22 (omitting scrip because it redeemed already-issued warrants) show that the warrant totals issued by these categories of acts are:
|Total Warrants
|Revolutionary War
|War of 1812
|Mexican War
|Acts of 1850 to 1855
Considering that 77.6 percent of these bounty-land warrants are in the miscellaneous categories of the 1850 to 1855 acts and that each warrant should have an application file with the veteran's documentation of service or affidavits from next of kin documenting their relationship to him, locating the 1850'1855 warrant applications is important to genealogists. The first search is of the GLO-ARS, to determine if a patent was granted to the veteran or his heirs and if that patent is indexed. If the veteran's name or name of next of kin does not appear, consult the microfilmed and published indexes shown above for each war. At the GLO-ARS website, are search paths for ordering warrant applications using the information provided by a successful search. If the name does appear in an index, and the researcher is fairly certain of bounty-land eligibility, engage the services of the National Archives for a fee-based search. Provide as much definite information as is possible.
Fraudulent Applications
A special problem is fraudulent warrant applications, especially where heirs claimed a soldier's rights. Mrs. Ellen Reed and her two children received bounty-land warrant no. 61,656 in 1849 for the Mexican War service of Richard Reed, private, Company D, First U.S. Artillery Regiment. Two months later, Richard's mother applied as his next of kin and showed that, on his supposed marriage day in Mississippi, he was fishing on the Kennebec in Maine. Ellen's warrant was canceled and a new one issued to the mother.60 This problem of potential fraud is large enough to be a major contaminant. Gates notes 59,190 warrants for which caveats against delivery had been filed by 1856, thus suspecting further action on patenting.61 Why waste research time worrying about such obscure points? Experienced researchers know that solutions often come from unpredictable quarters.
For example, bounty-land eligibility for service in the War of 1812 was first limited to able-bodied enlisted men age eighteen to forty-five. Mrs. Abigail O'Flyng's husband and three sons had served. Two sons had been killed, yet none of the four was eligible for bounty land. Her husband had been over forty-five, one son was under eighteen, and the two dead sons had been promoted to officers just before they died. The 1816 Act for the Relief of Patrick and Abigail O'Flyng and of Edmund O'Flyng, ended the age restrictions and allowed enlisted men promoted to officers to receive land. Also, by private act of Congress, her husband received 480 acres, the youngest son 160 acres, and the heirs of the dead sons their half pay for five years.62 (See figure 10-8). Such a case tests a genealogist's expertise. Does he or she understand the scope and intent of the record group searched? Nearly all government records'federal, state, and local'are created as a result of statutes that should be read. Have unlikely records, such as private acts of Congress, been searched? Has the researcher screened other records many years later in which some legal actions resurface?
This last question is not rhetorical. Col. Robert Porterfield was killed in the revolution. His son Robert received from Congress a warrant for 'about 6,000 acres.' But the land was in Kentucky, where title disputes dominated land sales. The Porterfield land was lost in a court battle due to superior conflicting claims. In 1860, Congress authorized scrip for Robert's heirs, to whom 153 warrants for forty acres each were issued. In 1900, twenty-one of these warrants were still outstanding and unlocated for land given on Revolutionary War service.63
For background on bounty lands, see the National Archives's Guide to Genealogical Research in the National Archives; Paul Gates's 'Military Bounty Land Policies,' in History of the Public Land Law Development; Hone's Land and Property Research in the United States; and James W. Oberly's Sixty Million Acres: American Veterans and the Public Lands Before the Civil War.64
Virginia Military District
An extraordinary flood of Revolutionary War bounty-land warrants poured from Richmond, partly because Virginia had the largest state population and partly because it granted warrants not only to its Continental line but to its state line as well. The distinction rests on who paid the soldiers'Congress or Virginia.
The first military reserve was created south of Green River in Kentucky and subsequently expanded west of the Tennessee. There were no bounty lands within present-day Virginia or West Virginia. In 1784, Virginia ceded its claim to the area north of the Ohio River, reserving the 4 million acres between the Scioto and Little Miami Rivers for redemption of its bounty-land warrants. This Virginia Military District in Ohio was federal land for which first-title land grants were reserved solely for the Virginia warrants of veterans of the Continental line. A series of ever more liberal acts broadened where warrants could be used and by whom until, in 1852, Congress agreed that all Virginia Revolutionary War warrants could be exchanged for scrip accepted at any GLO land office. Large numbers of these assignable warrants were sold; an estimated one-quarter of the Virginia Military District was acquired by twenty-five men.65
The paperwork flow was: (1) warrant application to Richmond; (2) warrant issued to warrantee; (3) selection of desired land in Kentucky or Ohio reserves and survey by official surveyor; (4) paperwork for Kentucky lands to the Virginia Land Office or, from 1792, the Kentucky Land Office, or the federal capital for Ohio lands; and (5) patent for Kentucky land sent to patentee or federal patent sent to Richmond for relay to Ohio patentee.66
Thus, there should be four major repositories today for Virginia bounty-land records. There are, however, seven. The land offices of Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio are described in the state summaries at the end of this chapter. The microfilmed federal patents are in the BLM Eastern States Office in Springfield, Virginia. The surrendered warrants are in Record Group 49 at the Textural Reference Branch in Washington, D.C. The sixth major collection is the Illinois Historical Survey Collection in the University of Illinois Library, Urbana-Champaign, which has the papers of Richard Clough Anderson, surveyor of the Virginia Military District in Ohio. Clifford Neal Smith has brought this collection to the attention of a wide audience by his indexes in the Federal Land Series, especially vol. 4, which is devoted to the district. He estimated that 'about 64 percent of Virginia's obligations to its veterans were satisfied by the land grants in the Virginia Military District of Ohio.'67 The seventh major collection is the Anderson-Latham Collection at the Library of Virginia. Allen Latham, son-in-law of Richard C. Anderson, in business with B. G. Leonard, handled claims of the soldiers and their heirs. This collection contains papers of Anderson and Latham and is described online.68
Loyalist Lands
The confiscation of Loyalist lands in the revolution'what might be called 'negative bounty landis a subject that deserves both extended research and a bibliographical source essay. Below is a brief discussion.
The British government made a commendable effort to compensate Loyalist losses, and Loyalists had to list their lost property to claim that compensation. One of the best sources is Alexander Fraser, ed., United Empire Loyalists Enquiry into the Losses and Services in Consequence of Their Loyalty. Evidence in Canadian Claims.69 From this excellent source book comes the example of John Fowler. The claim (p. 293) of Fowler, formerly of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, indicates he was a native of Guilford, Connecticut, lived in Stockbridge, fled to New York during the war and hired a farm on Long Island, was carried a prisoner to Stamford, Connecticut, and ultimately settled in Kingston, Ontario. 'Produces deed dated 19th July, 1770, whereby Mark Hopkins in considn. of £30 lawful Conveys to Claimt. forty acres in Stockbridge. Says he purchased 35 acres adjoining, from his Br., in 1770 for about £25,' and so on. 'Produces a letter from his Father in Law saying that his Personal Property had been sold to the amount of £100 Lawful.' Aside from separating the various John Fowlers, this record helps fill a page in the Fowler family genealogy.
Such claims name only a small percentage of Loyalists. Two New Jersey studies revealed that of 275 known Loyalists of Bergen County, only twenty-nine claims could be found, while for the approximately 1,200 estates confiscated in New Jersey, there exist only 239 Loyalist claims.70
The official files of Loyalist claims are in the Public Record Office in London, partly summarized in Peter Wilson Coldham's American Loyalist Claims: Abstracted from the Public Record Office, Audit Series 13, Bundles 1'35 and 37.71 The manuscript sources are identified in Gregory Palmer's A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, a helpful book but one intended for experts.72 A useful reference is 'American Revolution: Overseas Records Information 52' at the British National Archives website. Section 6 of this leaflet is titled 'American Loyalist Claims.' There is no comprehensive bibliography to literature on the confiscation of Loyalist estates. (One land record of potential help in identifying children is the land given in Canada and Nova Scotia to Loyalists under royal instructions of 1783, which promised one hundred acres to heads of Loyalist families and fifty acres each to their children and to single men. See Marion Gilroy's Loyalists and Land Settlement in Nova Scotia.)73

March 17, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A pair of goals 43 seconds apart with less than five minutes remaining in regulation helped the MIT men's lacrosse team secure a 9-7 win over Wentworth Institute of Technology on Tuesday. Ryan Ballentine registered a game-high six points on two goals and four assists for the Engineers (1-3). Chris Wesche paced the Leopards (0-1) with a hat-trick as teammate Chris Guilherme tallied two goals and an assist.
Ballentine opened the scoring with an unassisted strike after 2:05 expired in the contest. Over six minutes later, Matt Cox connected on a pass from Joe Harding to put Wentworth on the board. MIT went ahead at the 4:04 mark on a goal by John Kucharczyk that was set up by Ballentine.
Both sides traded goals throughout the second stanza as a solo effort by Guilherme tied the game at four at the break. Wesche found the back of the net twice during the frame while Ballentine notched a goal and an assist.
Wentworth established its first lead of the day when Bill Berringer converted a feed from Guilherme early in the third quarter. The Engineers quickly evened the contest courtesy of a goal by Kucharczyk and then Ernie Park gave the Engineers a 6-5 edge at the 1:01 mark. The Leopards ended their scoring drought with nine seconds on the clock as Guilherme recorded the equalizer.
MIT inched ahead after 2:27 elapsed in the final frame when Park connected on a feed from Neil Zimmerman. Following six minutes of scoreless play, Wesche's unassisted goal tied the game at seven. With 4:44 left to play, Ballentine set up Corey Garvey for the game-winning goal as Park followed with an insurance tally 43 seconds later.
Park posted the first hat-trick of his career as Zimmerman tallied one goal and two assists. Kucharczyk bolstered MIT's attack with two goals while Eric Zuk anchored the defense with four groundballs. Ballentine, Garvey, and Patrick Shannon each tacked on three groundballs as Garth Grove collected 10 saves.
In addition to his three-point performance, Guilherme totaled a game-high five groundballs for the Leopards. Jeff Ryan and Bill Ainslie each contributed four groundballs while Sean Tobin amassed 11 saves.
Both squads continue action on Thursday, March 19. MIT wraps up its five-game home-stand against Curry College while Wentworth will travel to Clark University.

Cricket chiefs on Wednesday called for an international lifetime ban for Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria after he was punished for his job in an English spot-fixing scandal.
The International Cricket Councils board said domestic bodies should be aware of and respect the sanctions... including by enforce and giving effect to them within their own jurisdiction to the fullest extent allowed by law. Kaneria was banned for life by English authorities for his involvement in the Mervyn Westfield spot-fixing case. The 31-year-old Pakistani has vowed to plea the permit.
Westfield was jailed for four months in February, but served 2 before being released in April, after admitting he accepted 6,000 Pounds to under-perform during a Pro40 match between Essex and Durham in 2009.The now 24-year-old Westfield named Kaneria -- arrested with him in 2010 but released without charge -- as the link among bookmakers and players. Westfield was given a 5-year ban for bring cricket into disrepute, a charge the seamer accepted, though he will be able to play club cricket in the last 2 years of his suspension.
The ICC is wrestling with the problem of spot-fixing, often bowling no-balls to order by bookmakers, at its yearly conference in Kuala Lumpur which wraps up on Thursday. Kaneria has not played for Pakistan since appear against England in August 2010 -- the same tour that saw the notorious fixing episode in the Lord's Test, which led to then-captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer being jailed on bribery charges.
Butt, jailed for 30 months last November on charges of compliant corrupt payments, was freed from an English jail on Thursday.
Aamer was released in February after serving half his 6-month sentence while Asif, jailed for one year, was freed in May.

Disaster defenses face shutdown test
The federal government may be mostly closed, but leaders from the White House to the Gulf Coast are presenting a brave face that they'll still be ready for Tropical Storm Karen.
National Hurricane Center trackers never left their posts. FEMA has recalled more than 100 furloughed employees to help coordinate with state and local officials from Florida to Louisiana, plus other parts of the country affected by severe weather. President Barack Obama is even directing traffic in the first big management test of his short-handed government.
Story Continued Below
With the storm churning toward a Gulf Coast landfall starting Saturday, the administration and warring factions on Capitol Hill know there are political risks for anyone seen as bungling disaster response, even if the government is partially shut down.
"They're willing to play games with national parks. I don't think they're willing to play games with natural disasters," said former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. "That's the kind of thing that can get you unelected pretty quickly."
( POLITICO's full government shutdown coverage)
For all the bravado, though, there's ample evidence that the country's defenses are down when it comes to disasters, natural or man-made.
Some of the country's top earthquake experts have been home since Tuesday. Federal workers handling core disaster relief programs, including the recent Colorado flooding, are furloughed. It's the same story for about 1,000 federal special agents, including a U.S. Postal Service official who played a role in the capture of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The budget standoff has even spooked one of the country's top spooks.
"I've never seen anything like this," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress on Wednesday. He testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that about 70 percent of the civilians who work for U.S. intelligence agencies are furloughed.
( PHOTOS: D.C. closes up shop)
"From my view, I think this, on top of sequestration, … seriously damages our ability to protect the security and safety of this nation and its citizens," Clapper said. "This is not just a Beltway issue. This affects our global capability."
Washington got its own scare Thursday when police shot and killed a woman on Capitol Hill after she led them on a car chase from the White House. The situation only added to the unease felt after hearing from Clapper, though federal and city authorities were quickly out in force and the incident appears to have had no terrorist ties.
"There's some very troubling stuff on the front page of the national papers today on security matters," Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) told POLITICO. "A lot of people who really are pretty important to national security are not able to be at work."
( Also on POLITICO: Washington's version of 'Breaking Bad')
"By sheer numbers of people and mission sets, you don't have to get too far down to start impacting the ability to perform the mission," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said during a panel discussion Thursday morning hosted by The Washington Post.
While intelligence officials are working "extra hours" as much as they can, Rogers fretted that it was still "very concerning to me that we would allow any part of our national security structure, knowing what's coming at us every day," to be affected.
"None of that is going away," he said.
Federal police have drawn the short straw, too. At the Department of Homeland Security, training centers where agents get certified to use their weapons have been closed, according to its contingency plan.
( WATCH: Key moments leading to shutdown deadline)
The Capitol Police and Secret Service agents who responded to Thursday's car chase — officers dubbed "essential" because they protect life or property — have been working for four days so far without pay.
But about 1,000 federal law-enforcement agents stationed in the offices of eight different department inspectors general didn't qualify as essential and got sent home with furlough notices. That includes the U.S. Postal Service's inspector general, home to one of the armed officers on the scene at the conclusion of the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt. Their contingency plan said just 19 of 1,136 employees were exempt from furloughs. It's a similar story for IG agents at the Agriculture, Interior, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation and Treasury departments.
"If the premise of an exempted government employee is someone who's engaged in defending or protecting life or property, then what else in fact do they do?" said Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. "They're the first line of defense. Or the last line of defense because these incidents don't last very long."
Staffing shortfalls are also a problem for federal agencies that handle natural disasters — both before incidents happen and then in the recovery.
FEMA initially furloughed 86 percent of its roughly 4,300 workers, though it started recalling more than 100 furloughed workers Thursday to address severe weather nationwide, namely Karen's formation into a tropical storm that put lives and property at risk along the Gulf Coast. The agency website still isn't getting updates during the shutdown. It also couldn't send anyone to testify at a House oversight hearing earlier this week on the country's preparedness and response systems.

The Business of Curling workshop program promotes volunteer development and recognition as a vital component to curling club operations. For example, we encourage our curling clubs to formally recognize volunteers at a volunteer appreciation night. This is the one of the more significant tools a club can use to retain and re-motivate their volunteer 'workforce'.
By creating a national award, we hope to set the example thereby encouraging clubs to create their own recognition programs.

Local 'Tidbits' Editor Is In Trouble and Asking For Help
Have you ever watched, "It's a Wonderful Life" and wondered if you would spring to action to help a friend like the community of Bedford Falls did when George was in trouble? We'll here's your chance to test yourself.
Curtis Combs, a Pasco resident, is the editor of the local publication Tidbits. His wife Dee is in the hospital this week with a huge tumor in her abdomen. The Combs don't need money, but Curtis would like to fill Dee's room with as much love as he can to give her strength to fight for her life.
If you're a fan of Tidbits, this is your call to action. Send a letter, send an email or send a Christmas card. She's too tired to receive telephone calls, but other forms of communication are greatly desired.
Here's the email sent to family and friends (edited for online publication):
Currently, my wife Dee and I are publishers of the Tidbits newspaper in Eastern Washington and Oregon and I am very, very tired; not because of what I do for a living, but because of the battle I currently find myself in. And I am writing to you to ask for your help, currently I am occupying a hotel room, adjacent to Virginia Mason Medical Center, in Seattle, Washington. And out of my room window I can see a huge wall of hospital rooms, but one room in this sea of human struggle is of particular special interest to me. You see, in one of those rooms lies my wife! And in her window there twinkles a small, plastic, poorly-made, battery-operated Christmas Tree that is "Made in China." It's a little beacon of no particular interest to anyone but me! On Dec. 6, as it so happened my birthday, my wife who has cheerily been dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for the past 12 years was found to have a tumor. This tumor, ovarian in nature, is estimated to be about the size of a basketball and may weigh as much as 50 pounds. We had no idea this thing was residing inside her, I thought to myself as I stared at its image, "This is a Death Sentence!" My wife, being the eternal joyful, optimistic, smartass, that everyone who knows her has come to love, says to me later, "Sorry Dear that this is all I got you for your birthday, maybe next year I can do better!"
I would like you to send my wife a simple card, or an email of encouragement, and perhaps even a prayer if you are inclined to believe in a higher power, because I want to fill her room with as much love as possible in order to give her the best fighting chance to beat this thing.
So who am I? I am just a man, and frankly an unworthy man at that, but, "A man who has come to the realization that the only redeeming quality that I have is that I am married to my wife!"
Do Not send money; that would only cheapen the message of this letter. We need your love and encouragement much more than mere money.
Curtis R. Combs

Without a doubt, a little piece of paradise. Hemingway was definitely on to something.
We spent the rest of our vacation in the Keys, splitting our time between Marathon and Key West.
Although the weather was cool by Florida's standard, we preferred the 60's temps to the single digit, freezing snow storm that hit back home in Michigan.
Our first fishing trip was with the crew at Sea Dog. It was cool and windy, but the sun was out. We tried free line fishing but with 5 others on board, plus the wind, the lines tangled too easily. After changing to drop fishing the fun began. The variety of fish caught was awesome. Three kinds of snapper, a shark, a king mackerel, some grouper, and a couple yucky remoras. We kept snapper and mackerel for a fresh fish dinner that night.
Such a great place, Key West. We went shopping on Duval Street and stopped at Hog's Breath Saloon for drinks and a snack. My favorite places were Schooner Wharf Bar and Irish Kevin's Bar. The live music was the best. We enjoyed checking out the streets off the beaten paths of the touristy area. Don and I agreed it would be easy to spend the rest of our days there.
We stayed at a hotel on Key Colony Beach. The one day it was slightly warm, Don enjoyed soaking in the rays while I sipped Bloody Mary's at the bar.
Our final day was spent fishing. This time we went out with Capt. Michael of Robbie's on Islamorada. We were drop fishing in 140' deep waters. I caught a tile fish (?? ?) released and several blue runners that we released. Don, once again, caught our dinner. Two snapper and two porgi.
Too short of time, we both agree we have to go back.

Wild hang on to beat Kingsby Dan Myers
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- With the pressure of making its first postseason since 2008 reaching a fever pitch following five straight home losses, the Minnesota Wild knew they needed to be at their best in the final three games of the season in order to hang on to their playoff berth. They got off to a good start against the defending Stanley Cup champions at Xcel Energy Center.
The Wild got goals from Charlie Coyle and Cal Clutterbuck 16 seconds apart in the first period and hung on in the third to beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Clutterbuck, who said the game was the biggest of his professional career, was credited with the game-winner at 16:37 when he flew down the left side boards and rifled a high shot that beat Kings goaltender Jonathan Bernier to the short side for his fourth of the season and first since March 16 -- a span of 19 games.
"I wish I could remember what was going through my head. I just kinda closed my eyes," Clutterbuck said. "It's nice to contribute that way, obviously."
The victory snapped a five-game home losing streak for the Wild and gave them a critical victory in their fight for one of the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference. Minnesota is seventh with 53 points, two more than the eighth-place Columbus Blue Jackets and three more than the ninth-place Detroit Red Wings. The Wild and Blue Jackets have two games remaining; the Red Wings have three.
"We've got an opportunity to make the playoffs and this was a huge, huge game for us," Clutterbuck said.
The loss extended the Kings' road losing streak to five. L.A. visits Detroit on Wednesday night.
"We didn't play three periods tonight. We didn't deserve to win," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. "We knew [Minnesota was going to be desperate] coming in, they're fighting for a playoff spot, they're right there. They played with the determination to win tonight."
Minnesota played one of its finest periods of the season in the first, getting back to the basics of coach Mike Yeo's system -- getting pucks deep, using an effective forecheck to create turnovers and generally making life difficult for its opponent.
After a slow first couple of minutes, the Wild started winning shifts and before long, Yeo had cycled a couple of times through each forward line with Minnesota carrying the play.
The period was reminiscent of each of its last two opening periods at home -- the lone difference being the Wild capitalized on a couple of chances, allowing them to play most of the night from in front.
Yeo raved about his leadership core afterwards, praising the specific efforts of captain Mikko Koivu, forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter, who racked up 32:17 of ice time -- third highest of his career -- Tuesday night.
"Mikko, the guy was unbelievable, he was all over the ice," Yeo said. "This time of year, you see leaders playing like that… It was the same thing I thought last game. This game, I thought everybody was going right along with them."
With just three whistles through the first 16 minutes of game time, the Wild finally took advantage of its zone time when Parise raced to a loose puck behind the net and saucered a pass over the stick of Kings defenseman Matt Greene's stick right to Coyle, who was standing in front of the net. The rookie buried his eighth of the season past a sprawling Bernier at 16:21.
"I don't think there was any [margin of error on the pass]," Coyle said. "I just tried to find an open space and I didn't know if he was going to try and put it there, it was a tight little space. He just sauced it right over the guy and right on my stick. All I had to do was direct it into the net. Great play by him."
On the next shift, Clutterbuck gave the Wild its first two-goal first period in more than a month.
"They're a veteran hockey club, they're not a young hockey club," Sutter said. "They have a lot of guys used to playing in big games. That's what they did."
Things got chippy late in the second period when Brown appeared to elbow Wild winger Jason Pominville in the head. Pominville stayed on the ice a few moments before skating wobbly to the bench. He did not return and no penalty was called.
"I haven't seen it yet," Brown said. "I had the puck on my stick, he's coming to hit me. I'm just bracing myself."
"Got the puck on your stick, pretty tough to do anything else," Sutter said.
Not surprisingly, the guys in the other room seemed to see it differently.
"You hate to see a hit to the head, that's all," Yeo said, clearly choosing his words carefully. "Can't really say much more than that."
"I saw an elbow in the face," Clutterbuck said. "You want to [get revenge], but we had to win the game. So we did."
The Kings appeared to get the benefit of a couple of other non-calls and in turn, sucked some of the life from the building. They capitalized on the momentum shift in the dying seconds of the period when Jeff Carter received a pass in the slot from Brad Richardson and rifled a wrister past Niklas Backstrom with 0.8 seconds remaining for his 26th of the season.
Los Angeles was on the attack almost the entire third period, but the Kings were stymied by Backstrom on all 12 shots they got on goal. His last save may have been his best of the season -- he made a sprawling save going from right to left to rob Slava Voynov of a sure goal with 13 seconds left in regulation -- one he actually stopped with his right calf.
The victory improved Backstrom's record to 23-14-3 -- he's tied for the most victories in the League.
Minnesota has two days off before hosting the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night and playing at the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Any combination of two points in those games clinches a spot in the playoffs, although various other results from around the league could get the Wild in before they take the ice for their next game.
Los Angeles has already secured a postseason berth and will play its final road game of the season Wednesday at Joe Louis Arena before capping the regular season at home Saturday against San Jose.

I want to thank everyone who has visited my blog for the encouraging comments and support. Blogging is my favorite hobby, and I feel very blessed that so many of you have signed up to follow my posts via e-mail or have returned repeatedly despite my haphazard posting schedule. I've been distracted by family matters during the last few months, but things are settling down and I'm hoping for a more normal posting pattern in the upcoming year.
Rather than making a New Year's Resolution post with promises to myself that I probably won't keep, I've decided to list a few of the blessings I've received during the past year. Being grateful for what I have and for what I've accomplished is more important to me than listing things I wish I could change. So, not necessarily in order of importance, here are the top 10 blessings 2011 brought to me:
I've learned to trust that God's plans are better than my plans.
My husband survived a delicate heart procedure.
My kids have been home to share the good times as well as the tough ones.
I am physically in better shape than I've been in several years.
My family and friends have been unwavering in their support through some difficult times.
There is currently nothing I really need that I don't have or can't get.
The future looks bright for my 3 children.
My 91-year-old mother is in good health.
I've made the decision to focus on the positive in every situation rather than on the negatives, and so far I've been able to stick with that decision.
I've realized that some things just aren't important enough to waste my life worrying about.
None of these things relate to writing—that's somewhere farther down my list of blessings. Due to the fact I haven't been writing anything, I have no accomplishments to list in that area. However, I do still have a passion for the book I was working on last year, and I'm determined to devote more time to writing during 2012. (That's not a Resolution! It's a goal. 😉 )
What are some of the things you've been blessed with during 2011? Do you have some goals for 2012 you'd like to share? Did you have a pleasant holiday season this year?

Is Sean Hannity the "worst excuse for a journalist" in the US? Or is Rep. Keith Ellison (D) of Minnesota "a total waste of time" as a television guest?
Yes, that's the edifying discussion the Fox News host and Representative Ellison had on Mr. Hannity's show Tuesday night. Politico is calling it "one of the most explosive and contentious arguments between an anchor and a politician in recent history." We don't know about that, but we're pretty sure nobody who saw it thought they'd tuned in to "Downton Abbey" by mistake.
To us, it represented everything wrong about cable shows. Plus, everything that's watchable, unfortunately. We'll call it nacho dip TV – you know it's bad for you but you just can't stop consuming it.
Here's the background: The conservative Hannity had just played a segment in which he appeared to place the blame for the sequester on President Obama. It included clips of Mr. Obama giving two similar speeches on the question, set to the lyric song "O Fortuna," which is the kind of thing they use as background music in "Game of Thrones."
Ellison, a Muslim, and Hannity have clashed in the past over intemperate remarks the former had made about the Bush administration and its handling of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. So the lawmaker was already in the blocks, so to speak. As Hannity threw the show to him he'd already thought of the point he wanted to make in the show, no matter the question.
"Quite frankly you are the worst excuse for a journalist I have ever seen," Ellison said.
Hannity then gets a half-smile on his face. It could be pleasure that he's baited his guest into a showdown. It could be covering nervousness, as if he didn't quite believe his ears.
"What?" said the Fox News host. "I didn't hear you."
It went downhill from there. Ellison rolled along, making the general point that he believes the Republicans more to blame for the current fiscal mess, while Hannity sort of played rope-a-dope, sitting back and occasionally throwing in a punch when his guest paused for breath.
Here's our first reaction: This is why we dislike cable news. It isn't that they argue. It's that they argue about irrelevant stuff.
David Graham at The Atlantic elucidates this idea at length: Really, does it matter whose idea the sequester was at this point? We know Bob Woodward thinks it does, and he's a journalistic god, but for us it's like the crew of the Titanic getting into a spat about who thought it was a good idea to take the North Atlantic route while the iceberg looms in front of them.
As Mr. Graham says, both parties agreed to it and voted to approve it.
"Trying to place the blame for the sequester is both a fool's errand and a parlor game that has consumed much of the Washington media over the last week or so, as the lack of substantive progress towards stopping the sequester has left pundits and reporters with little else to talk about," he writes.
All that said, here's our second reaction: What pros!
Watch them go at it. Whether Hannity had an idea that his guest would explode or not, he rolls with it pretty well. You can see that he knows he's about to get the same kind of free media publicity that Piers Morgan got when that pro-gun guest Alex Jones went wild on his show.
That's why Hannity just lets it go on. If he truly wanted to argue, he'd have hit the kill button earlier. He let it last about six minutes, which is about as long as any guest interview goes before they cut to something else. In that sense, he won. He got what his producers wanted. He's getting tons of attention today.
But Ellison is going to be hero to many on the left for his rant. And did you notice that he never stopped smiling? Yes, he ranted while trying to look unthreatening. That's what they teach you in media appearance school. If nothing else, Ellison's press secretary must have been proud.

The academic body will strive to create, maintain and enhance
a facility for the study and teaching of the mathematical sciences.
1. More generally, to further the understanding of such sciences
in the larger community.
2. More generally, to further the adoption of mathematical and
rational approaches in the study of diverse problems.
All activities other than those directly bearing on the above
shall be considered to be for the benefit/gratification of the
individual(s) concerned; *even* though these may indirectly help
in the above aims.
Hence, the following activities *are* part of the duties of the
academic body:
a. Giving lecture course for students.
b. Reading journals/books and developing the library.
c. Writing/discussing/lecturing about science and related
matters in public fora.
d. Organising conferences/journals/discussion meetings.
The following are *not* part of the *duties* of the academic body:
i. Writing research papers.
ii. Attending conferences.
iii. Applying for and obtaining research grants.
The above may sound paradoxical, especially since the promotion and
other awards made to members of the academic body are usually decided
on the basis of criteria depending on (i-iii).
However, this is not surprising if one considers:
No one gets promoted for doing her/his job. One gets
promoted for doing something beyond the call of duty.

LEARNZ virtual field trips provide a unique experience for students and teachers in New Zealand schools and an essential part of every LEARNZ field trip is written text, along with other resource material such as photos, videos, audios and web conferences.
A LEARNZ web page is constructed to scaffold reading for students. The following example demonstrates one way that teachers can use the special features of a LEARNZ Background page to help support student reading.
Watch the video
LEARNZ and a suggested reading scaffold from LEARNZ on Vimeo.
Try it yourself
Have a look at the LEARNZ web page Memorial Park - not just a roading project which is part of a series that backgrounds the Memorial Park project in Wellington, leading up to First World War centenary commemorations on Anzac Day 2015.
After looking over the list of Features, below, we suggest you take a second look at Memorial Park - not just a roading project as if you were a student to become more familiar with these features. Follow the steps in the Suggested Reading Scaffold section, below, to see how you can further support literacy development by using LEARNZ. (Hint: Display this web page side-by-side with the above web page ).
- Listen. Clicking the headphones link at the top of the page plays a recording of the content being read by one of our LEARNZ teachers. Unlike with automated options, New Zealand students will appreciate the familiarity of the accent and how the reading flows smoothly over technical words and common Māori words.
- Enlarge photos. Clicking any photo on the right displays an enlargement and caption. By hovering the mouse over the left or right side of each photo, students can navigate forward or back through the enlargements.
- Pasifika and Maori keywords. Further down the page there are a series of Language keyword tables that students and teachers can show or hide as they please. Māori keywords have sound files attached so all New Zealanders can hear them pronounced. Pasifika keywords are provided in the 5 main languages used in New Zealand.
- Print. Notice the little printer icon in the upper-right of the page. Clicking it gives a preview where all the content is displayed in a different layout, appropriate for print.
- Forward and Back. Also in the upper-right are Previous and Next links to enable students to go through the sequence of pages that build knowledge and understanding of the project.
- Two reading levels. The Easy link takes students to an easier-reading version of the page where there is more white space and simpler sentence structure and vocabulary. Typically the reading age is 2 years less.
- Relevance. The text meets the need for current, authentic, local content embedded in a larger story. The Memorial Park project is based in Wellington, with relevance to all New Zealanders.
A Suggested Reading Scaffold
- Emerging readers, click on the headphones at the top to have the page read.
- All students read the page heading.
- Read the summary in the top orange box.
- Enlarge the first image, then click through the rest of the enlargements.
- Click through the enlargements a second time and read the captions
- Read the main text of the page.
- All students, open the Māori keywords and click to hear them.
- Pasifika students, open the keywords for their language and read them.
- Read the text in the bottom orange box of the page and respond (write text or record a sound file).
- On the page's left-hand menu, under Prepare Students, click Activities and attempt Interactive #2 called Memorial Park, which tests comprehension of the page (and one other).
- Click Next or Previous to navigate through the suggested learning sequence of Background pages whereby students gain knowledge related to the field trip topics.
- Click Standard to go to a higher-level version of the page where the reading age is two years higher.
This example is from LEARNZ Memorial Park at http://www.learnz.org.nz/memorialpark134. The web site will ultimately contain four virtual field trips covering the project through to 2015. Feel free to explore the rest of the site and use it in your teaching and learning programme. If you do, it would be great if you would register with LEARNZ at http://www.learnz.org.nz/register
