Beth Foster received the tip Monday at Three Wise Men Brewery in Broad Ripple from Seth Collins. She said the gift couldn't have come at a better time because things have been difficult while she looks for a teaching job.
It was the 54th $500 tip Collins has given in 17 states since his brother died a year ago and left a will stating his wish that a $500 tip be given in his memory. A video of the first tip went viral and inspired $60,000 in donations from around the world.
Collins says his brother enjoyed unexpected acts of kindness.
Group: Ball State prof is 'being railroaded'
MUNCIE — A national group that supports the belief that a higher power had a hand in the rise of life on Earth is questioning the fairness of a Ball State University panel reviewing allegations that an honors course is religion disguised as science.
The Discovery Institute contends three of the four panelists are linked to groups opposed to intelligent design. That's the belief that a higher power must have had a hand in life's origins because life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.
Discovery Institute vice president John West said the three panelists' links to groups opposed to intelligent design raise "huge red flags."
He says it appears the course instructor, assistant professor of physics Eric Hedin, is "being railroaded."

A Vancouver woman's YouTube video of a two-legged puppy is going viral.
Amanda Geise works for Panda Paws Rescue in Vancouver. She said she can't always keep every dog she helps rescue, but she made an exception for 9-month-old boxer Duncan Lou Who.
And Duncan is gaining a lot of attention with more than 3 million YouTube views.
"He was in fact born with rear legs, but he was born with a deformed pelvis and deformed back legs, so the veterinarian told us we need to amputate those or let him go," Geise said. "So we decided to amputate and give him a chance. So now he's 9 months old - it's six months later - and doing great."
Duncan isn't the only two-legged pup Geise knows. She has rescued 10 two-legged dogs in the last year, and all of them have gone to great homes.

The manager said it started in the morning with a woman in her mid-60s paying for the order of the person behind her.

From the Right: The Republican Party
Alive and well
This past week I was fortunate enough to listen to Tom Ridge speak in Dover. The former Pennsylvania governor and Homeland Security secretary delivered an unabashed and unapologetic view on how the Republican Party must be a party of solutions. In his little chat with GOP foot soldiers and activists from across the state, he spoke of broadening the party's appeal and electoral prospects, something all Republicans believe must happen if we are to win again.
A successful party must be a united party. The Grand Old Party is often jolted, as if reeling from an ever-present, ever constant hangover. We squabble and fight and try to move on, but the headache never stops. Well, it can stop, if we look and realize that as a party we are far greater united than divided. We agree on so much and disagree on so little.
For decades now, the Republican Party is often chided by our friends on the left and even some eternal pessimists that we're a lost cause and that America will never accept Republican principles in any way, shape or form. Yet, time and again the Republican Party endures and continues to endure. The reason for the loss in 2012 was not the result of a failed message, but a poorly communicated message, overshadowed by sideshow antics from the fringe element, an element found in any political party.
In 2010, the Republican Party won the midterm elections in a seismic landslide, as a result of the big government overreach by the Democrats.
Today, people side with the Republican Party on issue after issue. Though people today are shying away from political identification, on the most basic issues the people today are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. It can be truly put that today's people are neither Democrat nor Republican but libertarian. They embrace the belief that government has no business in their bedrooms, taxing them to the hilt and spying on their calls.
People want government to perform the most basic functions, to be effective and limited in its scope, and to stay the hell out of way.
The Democratic Party may try to preach this message of libertarianism, but it is a ploy, designed only to increase votes and return them to power. Once in power they'll do what they do best: Grow the size of government.
This libertarian feel is alive and well across the country. I see it on our college campus. People are liberty-loving, individualistic people who want nothing more than to go about their lives and know the politicians in Washington are doing the job they were elected to do.
And who better than to reach out and speak for this silent majority but the Republican Party? The spirit of individualism, liberty, smaller government, capitalism and freedom have been the cornerstones of the party since its first election with Abraham Lincoln. The Republican Party is the one that people whose frustrations and anxieties over government can turn to; we simply, as a party, must welcome them, which will require a little effort on our part.
The principles of limited government, personal responsibility and freedom are fundamental and on that there must be no compromise. But the party must endure. It must modernize to the times and understand that to win again, the party can be a house of cards, diverse, opinionated, strong and united.
I, for one, am ever hopeful for the Republican Party. I am not going to its funeral, as the pronouncement of its death is vastly premature. The Republican Party will survive and adapt, because of necessity, because of the importance of an opposition party and because the alternative is unacceptable.

Pahokee's Richardson picks Florida Gators
By Jason Lieser
Nu'Keese Richardson did everything he could to keep his college choice a secret until Friday afternoon's press conference at Pahokee High School.
The mystery is revealed: Richardson will be a Florida Gator.
Richardson, rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and Scout.com, announced his verbal commitment to play for Florida, and will attempt to enroll in time for 2009 spring practices. He said he currently is on track to graduate Pahokee after next semester.
He is 5-foot-10 1/2, 170 pounds, runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds and bench presses 205 pounds.
Last week Richardson said he was leaning toward South Carolina, and he has worn Gamecocks shorts throughout spring practices, but Florida appeared to be gaining momentum as his commitment day approached. He said UF recruited him as a multi-threat player who could potentially succeed Percy Harvin. Harvin will be a senior by the time Richardson hits college.
Those two schools were ahead of three other finalists: Georgia, USC and Michigan. He never visited those three campuses, though he made multiple trips to Florida and South Carolina.
Richardson grew hoping to play for Miami, but ruled out the Hurricanes after they imported several receivers from the class of 2008. His nickname "Pete" comes from boyhood hero Peter Warrick, a former Florida State star, but a source close to Richardson said the Seminoles never asserted themselves in the hunt.
He also said no to any program that suggested playing him at defensive back.
Richardson was the Blue Devils' No. 3 wide receiver in 2007, behind seniors Martavious Odoms (now at Michigan) and Antavious Wilson (Buffalo). In a limited role, Richardson had 26 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns.
This year he will start the season at quarterback, though Blue Devils coach Blaze Thompson admitted he was the last resort. Thompson hopes to develop another quarterback as soon as possible so he can move Richardson to receiver.
His passing ability is improving, but he will represent a sharp turn from pocket passer Anthony Sheppard, who went 28-0 with two state championships as Pahokee's quarterback the last two years. Sheppard signed with Western Kentucky in February.
Richardson's speed on the ground means he is more likely to resemble former Blue Devils' quarterbacks Alphonso Smith and Anquan Boldin. Wake Forest moved Smith to cornerback, and Boldin starred as a receiver for Florida State before the Arizona Cardinals drafted him in 2003.
Richardson joins Glades Central center Henry Orelus (LSU) and Fort Pierce Westwood defensive tackle Luther Robinson (Miami) as the area's top early commitments.
Richardson's commitment should increase the attention on several other seniors who might commit early, including Okeechobee running back Lonnie Pryor (deciding between LSU and FSU), Palm Beach Central linebacker Jon Bostic (multiple BCS offers) and Glades Central wide receiver Rantavious Wooten (multiple BCS offers).
Next up for Pahokee will likely be running back Vincent Smith. Smith has drawn interest from Tennessee, Michigan and Minnesota, but might wait until the end of the season to see if more schools enter the race.

LIMERICK Ś The loud music at the Limerick Bowl was nearly drowned out by the yells of excitement and chatter before the Montgomery County Chapter of the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania started its first bowling event Saturday morning.
More than 40 athletes signed up to participate in one of the organizationÆs most popular events.
But for leaders of the chapter, the large turnout and excited athletes were not the only positive.
ōMost of the athletes here are new to the Special Olympics,ö said Christine Anderson, who organized the 15-week-long bowling league.
ōMy son automatically bowls here on Saturdays in their regular leagues. One day I was looking at the site and saw that they needed somebody to take on the responsibility to put the program together.ö
Anderson said that she did plan on getting new athletes into the bowling program when she took on the project.
ōPart of our strategic plan is getting new athletes,ö she said. ōI knew that this was going to be a great opportunity.ö
Scott Otterbein said that this is not the first time there has been a bowling league in the county, but this is the first time an organized league is being held at the Limerick Bowl.
ōThere had been a small program, but it was hit or miss at times,ö he said.
Athletes, parents and guardians cheered as the torch made its way from the front doors toward the lanes. After the athlete pledge was read, the games began.
Marcy Hefelfinger, of Spring City, brought her daughter Mary to the event.
ōSheÆs been in this organization for a good many years now,ö Hefelfinger said about her daughter. Mary read the athlete pledge Saturday morning.
Hefelfinger said Mary bowled in Phoenixville and Downingtown before the Limerick event opened.
ōThis is so much closer for us, so we decided to come over and it has been just wonderful,ö Hefelfinger.ö She couldnÆt wait to get here. She was so excited.ö
Hefelfinger said Mary kept asking when the bowling events were going to start again. ōShe went to Penn State one year, and she is hoping to go again.ö
Participants werenÆt the only ones excited about the newest incarnation of the popular sport.
Vice President for Marketing and Development Eric Cushing said the event meets a need.
ōThis is simply because Christine took the initiative to get it done,ö he said. ōSo far I think it is phenomenal.ö

"He still might be the toughest individual cover in the league because of his combination of size and quickness," Legler says. "But when times get tough, he doesn't trust anybody else."
Boeheim, not surprisingly, sees it differently.
"You can build a championship team around him," says the longtime Syracuse coach. "It's obvious he hasn't had the type of players around him yet to produce a championship. I think he's made teams better, but they haven't had the tools to win championships."
Asked if any of this debate bothers him, Anthony says, "Hell no. I don't pay any attention to that at all."
He seems to have left behind the off-court troubles that undermined his early career — his infamous appearance in a "Stop Snitching" video designed to intimidate Baltimore crime witnesses, a friend's marijuana found in his backpack at the Denver airport, a driving-under-the-influence charge in 2008.
Anthony says there's no comparison between him now and the guy who entered the NBA at age 19.
"It's night and day," he says. "I was a guy who didn't really understand a lot of things, was kind of turned into a man overnight, who had to learn from his mistakes. I didn't really, I don't want to say appreciate, but didn't understand being a professional athlete at 19, 20 years old."
His place in the game is sure to be discussed often this season because Anthony can opt out of his contract next summer. Talk has begun that the Los Angeles Lakers will try to snatch him..
Anthony has been through this before. His last two seasons in Denver, he played under constant suspicion that he was trying to force a trade to New York or New Jersey
He has said he won't answer questions about his contract during the season. That won't stop others from speculating and wondering if he's worth a mega-deal.
With his 30th birthday approaching in May, Anthony might be closer to the end of his career than the beginning, hard to believe considering the rounded features that have always made him look so youthful. But he says he hasn't dwelled on how long he has left or worried about windows closing on his loftiest goals.
"You think about it here and there," he says. "But I still feel like I'm a young guy in this league. I haven't really even hit my prime yet. That's a scary thing."
'Connection to the kids'
Mary Anthony remembers the thwacking of the ball as her son dribbled in front of the family's front door on Myrtle Avenue, the way he'd shoot it into just about anything, even an old crate.
"It was just like every day, that ball was in his hand from the time he got up," she says.
She became a single mother after Carmelo's father died when he was a toddler. The family moved to Baltimore from Brooklyn when he was in grade school. Mary didn't see much formal value in her boy's basketball obsession but appreciated it as a pleasant distraction in a neighborhood full of darker possibilities.
"I believe that what he's seen, what he's grown up around, it gave him something else to focus on," she says. "Something besides just hanging around the block."
Anthony says he wanted to sponsor his East Baltimore youth center precisely because his childhood taught him the value of having a place to play.
"I know what's going through these kids' minds, their hopes and dreams and their daily lives, what they go through," he says. "Growing up in a single-parent household, that's big in Baltimore. There's a lot of things that go on in Baltimore that I lived growing up. So I still have that connection to the kids coming up today."
Lee says the center serves about 125 youngsters every afternoon, offering everything from basketball to computer time to art classes with Johns Hopkins students. Rarely does a day go by without at least one kid squeaking, "Coach Kurk, when is Carmelo coming?"
In truth, Anthony doesn't make it back as often as he used to, though his mother still lives in Owings Mills. He spent the summer of 2012 preparing for the Olympics and this summer rehabilitating a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder. But he looms large for the Baltimore kids who hope to follow his path.
"He's one of the greatest players to come out of this city," Lee says. "But he's put himself on another pedestal by actually doing something for these kids."
That makes Mary Anthony proud, even though she misses seeing her son in the flesh. She'll get that chance, of course, on Thursday.
"For me, it's a different feeling, a different experience to know that I'll be playing 10 minutes away from where I grew up," Carmelo says. "This will be one of those monumental events."

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Fire fighters worked hard Friday night to put out a fire called out around 11 p.m. on King Avenue, a few blocks Southwest of 34th Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard.
The fire reached above tree level before crews could put it out. Law enforcement blocked off surrounding streets while fire fighters fought the blaze, which destroyed the house. Luckily, the house was vacant at the time of the fire.
The fire department has not yet released a cause.

In case you didn't already know it, Jim Irsay is pretty rich.
The Colts owner showed up at his team's training camp practice on Saturday and handed out $100 bills to some of the fans in attendance like he was Steve Nash handing out high-fives to teammates.
Pretty cool, huh? Show up to training camp and you have a chance at $100? Sure as heck beats a misspelled T-shirt giveaway.
As cool as it would be to get a bill from him, what does this say about Irsay?
Does he think handing out money to his fans will make them forget about his DUI? Does he think handing out $100 bills will justify him being stopped by police with $29k cash on him? Someone tell Irsay he can't buy his way out of every problem. Only his problems with Roger Goodell.

Citizens' Saving & Loan Ass'n v. Perry CountyAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Citizens' Saving & Loan Ass'n v. Perry County, 156 U.S. 692 (1895)
Citizens' Saving and Loan Association v. Perry County
No. 56
Argued and submitted March 29, 1894
Decided March 4, 1895
July 3, 1869, the qualified voters of Perry County, Illinois, voted to subscribe to the capital stock of the Belleville & Southern Illinois Railroad and to issue its bonds in payment thereof, conditioned that "no bonds should be issued or stock subscribed until the railroad company should locate their machine shops at Duquoin." In December, 1870, the county court directed the bonds to be issued, and they were issued duly executed, and were delivered to the company and by it put into circulation, but the shops were never located at Duquoin. Held, in view of the legislation of Illinois reviewed in the opinion, and of the provisions in the constitution of 1870, which came into force after the vote to issue the bonds, but before their issue, that the county court by its order to issue the bonds, and the county officers by issuing them, violated their duty as prescribed by the statutes, and as the bonds contained no recital precluding inquiry as to the performance of the condition upon which the people voted in favor of their issue, it was open to the county to show
that it had not been performed, which being shown, the bonds became subject to the provisions of the constitution of 1870, and were invalid.
The bonds issued by the same county to the Chester & Tamaroa Coal & Railroad Company were issued in obedience to a vote of the people taken at an election ordered and held with reference to the Act of April 16, 1869, referred to in the opinion of this Court, which act required that a majority of the legal voters living in the county should be in favor of the subscription, and as the county court, in ordering the issue of the bonds, certified on its record that all the conditions prescribed had been complied with, and as the fact that a majority of the voters living in the county at the time of the election did not vote for the issue of the bonds is not determinable by any public record, held that it would be rank injustice to permit it to be set up after the lapse of so many years, and that the issue was valid and the bonds are binding in the county.
The case is stated in the opinion.
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN delivered the opinion of the Court.
This action was brought to recover the amount of certain coupons taken from bonds issued in the name of Perry County, Illinois, and made payable, some of them to the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company or bearer; others, to the Chester and Tamaroa Coal and Railroad Company or bearer.
The bonds, in each instance, were issued in payment of a subscription in the name of that county to the capital stock of the corporations to which they were respectively made payable.
The parties, by written stipulation, waived a jury, and the case was tried by the court.
It was found by the court that an election was held in the County of Perry on the 3d day of July, 1869, upon the
question of subscription to the capital stock of the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company, to be paid by the bonds of that county; that the notices for the election contained a clause providing, among other things, that "no bonds should be issued or stock subscribed until the railroad company should locate their machine shops at Duquoin," and that the shops, costing about $150,000, were located at East St. Louis, and not at Duquoin.
In respect of the bonds issued to the Chester and Tamaroa Coal and Railroad Company, it was found that the proposition for a subscription by the county to the capital stock of that corporation, upon which the people voted February 19, 1870, "did not receive a majority of the qualified voters of the county, 986 votes only being cast in favor of it, while at the last preceding general election, held in November, 1869, there were 2,024 votes thrown" -- in other words, that the proposition failed, by 27 votes, to receive a majority of the qualified voters of the county.
The conclusion of law as to each class of bonds was that, by reason of the facts so found, they were void for want of power to issue them.
First. The bonds issued to the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company.
The Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly of Illinois, approved February 14, 1857, with authority to locate, construct, and operate a railroad from the City of Belleville, in St. Clair County, southwardly, by way of the village of Pinckneyville, to some eligible point on the Illinois Central Railroad in Perry County. By the ninth section of its charter, the directors of the company were
"authorized and empowered to take and receive subscriptions to their said capital stock on such terms and in such amounts as they may deem for the interest of said company, and as they may prescribe by their bylaws and regulations, from any other railroad company or corporation, and from any county,
city, town, or village, and any such subscriptions shall be valid and binding upon any railroad company, corporation, county, city, town, or village making the same, provided said subscriptions shall be made in every respect subject to the provisions and restrictions of an act supplemental to an act entitled 'An act to provide for a general system of railroad incorporations,' approved November 6, 1849."
It was provided that the road should be completed within eight years from the passage of the act.
The act of 1849, here referred to, gave cities and counties authority to purchase or subscribe for shares of the capital stock of any railroad company then organized or incorporated, or which might be thereafter organized or incorporated, in any sum not exceeding $100,000 for each city or county; the stock so subscribed for or purchased to be under the control of the county court of the county or the common council of the city making the subscription or purchase, in all respects as stock owned by individuals. (46} 1. Authority was given to pay for such stock by borrowing money or issuing bonds. § 2. Railroad companies then or thereafter organized or incorporated under the laws of the state were authorized to receive at par the bonds of any county or city becoming subscribers to their capital stock. 1 Gross' Ill.Stat. 1873, p. 552-553.
By that act it, was further provided:
"§ 4. No subscription shall be made, or purchase or bond issued by any county or city under the provisions of this act, whereby any debt shall be created by said judges of the county court of any county or by the common council of any city to pay any such subscription unless a majority of the qualified voters of such county or city (taking as a standard the number of votes thrown at the last general election previous to the vote had upon the question of subscription under this act for county officers) shall vote for the same, . . . and if a majority of the voters of said county or city, assuming the standard aforesaid, shall be in favor of the same, such authorized subscription or purchase, or any part thereof, shall be then made by said judges or common council. In case any election had under this act is held upon a day of a general election, then the number of votes thrown at such general
election for county officers shall be the standard of the number of qualified voters as aforesaid. . . ."
1 Gross' Ill.Stat. 1873, p. 552-553.
These bonds were dated January 1, 1871, and made payable, twenty years after date, to the railroad company or bearer, with interest at seven percent per annum. Each bond, signed by the county judge and the county clerk, and attested by the county seal, contained the following recitals:
"This bond is one of a series of one hundred of like tenor and date, issued under the authority and in accordance with the requirements of an act of the Legislature of the State of Illinois entitled 'An act to incorporate the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad,' approved February 14, 1857, and is redeemable at the pleasure of said county at any time after the first day of January A.D. 1876."
Each coupon, signed by the same officers, was in this form:
"The County of Perry, State of Illinois, will pay to the bearer seventy dollars on the first Monday of January, 1889; being the interest on bond No. ___ issued to the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company."
On the day the bonds were directed by the county court to be issued, namely, December 5, 1870, the following communication and certificate under the county seal, and verified by the oath of the county judge, was sent to the auditor of public accounts of Illinois:
"Sir: I herewith transmit to you, for registration in your office under the provisions of the act entitled 'An act to fund and provide for paying the railroad debts of counties, townships, cities, and towns, in force April 16th, 1869,' the following bonds, being one hundred in number, dated January 1st, 1871, amounting to ($100,000) one hundred thousand dollars, payable on the first day of January, 1891, and bearing interest at the rate of seven percentum per annum, payable annually. these bonds are issued by the County Court of the County of Perry and State of Illinois to the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company, under and by authority of the provisions of an act entitled 'An act to incorporate the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad,' approved February 14, 1857, and I, as judge of the county court of said county, do hereby
certify that all the preliminary conditions in the act in force April 16, 1869, required to be done to authorize the registration of these bonds and entitle them to the benefits of the said act last referred to, have been fully complied with, to the best of my knowledge and belief."
Upon each bond was endorsed a certificate by the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illinois, under his seal of office,
"that the within bond has been registered in this office this day, pursuant to the provisions of an act entitled 'An act to fund and provide for paying the railroad debts of counties, townships, cities, and towns,' in force April 16th, 1869."
Although these bonds did not upon their face expressly refer to the Railroad Act of 1849, the recital in them that they were issued under the authority of and in accordance with the act of 1857, incorporating the railroad company, imports a compliance with the provisions of the former act, for the act of 1857 declares that the subscriptions authorized by it should be made in every respect subject to the provisions and restrictions of the act of 1849. If, therefore, the case depended alone on the acts of 1857 and 1849, in connection with the recitals in the bonds, the conclusion would be that the County of Perry rightfully subscribed to the stock of the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company to the extent of $100,000 (for which amount the subscription was made and the bonds issued), and that the county was estopped by the representations made in the recitals of the bonds, as between it and bona fide holders thereof, from relying upon any irregularities in the exercise of its power to subscribe that did not involve the substance of the power itself.
But we are not at liberty to look alone to the acts of 1857 and 1849 and the recitals in the bonds. Although the election relating to the subscription of the stock was held July 3, 1869, the county court did not make its order for the issue of bonds until after the section of the Constitution of Illinois of 1870 forbidding municipal subscriptions to the stock of railroad corporations went into operation, which, as held in Schall v. Bowman, 62 Ill. 321; Louisville v. Savings
Bank,104 U. S. 469, and Concord v. Robinson,121 U. S. 165, 121 U. S. 169, was on the second day of July, 1870. That provision was in these words:
"No county, city, township, or other municipality shall ever become subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or private corporation, or make donation to or loan its credit in aid of such corporation, provided, however, that the adoption of this article shall not be construed as affecting the right of any such municipality to make such subscriptions where the same have been authorized, under existing laws, by a vote of the people of such municipalities prior to such adoption."
Touching this constitutional provision, we have heretofore held that since July 2, 1870,
"no municipal corporation of Illinois has possessed authority to subscribe to the stock of a railroad or private corporation, or to make donations to or loan its credit to them, except that a subscription or donation lawfully voted by the people before the adoption of that section could be completed upon the terms and conditions approved by the electors. There is no saving of the right of such corporation to loan their credit to railroad corporations, where such loan of credit was not embraced in a vote previously taken under existing laws, and which was favorable to a subscription of stock or a donation. . . . The Constitution took away all power to impose upon the township any greater burdens than the people had by vote lawfully assumed under existing statutes. . . . They [purchasers of the township bonds] were bound to know that the power of the township, after July 2, 1870, was restricted by the Constitution to a completion of such subscription or donation as had been lawfully voted before that date; if not upon the precise terms and conditions attached thereto by the vote of the people, upon such terms as did not increase the burden."
Concord v. Robinson,121 U. S. 165, 121 U. S. 169.
At the time -- May 26, 1869 -- the county court ordered an election to ascertain the popular will as to the proposed subscription, to be paid by bonds of the county, the Act of April 16, 1869, entitled "An act to fund and provide for paying the railroad debts of counties, townships, cities, and
towns," was in full force. That act was referred to in the endorsement made on each bond by the auditor of state, as well as in the official communication of the County Judge of Perry County transmitting them for registration. It applied to every county, township, incorporated city, or town that had created a debt in aid of the construction of railways that were to be completed within ten years after its passage, as well as those which should create a debt of the character named under any law of the state. It contained the following, among other provisions:
"§ 7. And it shall not be lawful to register any bonds under the provisions of this act, or to receive any of the benefits or advantages to be derived from this act, until after the railroad in aid of the construction of which the debt was incurred shall have been completed near to or in such county, township, city, or town, and cars shall have run thereon, and none of the benefits, advantages, or provisions of this act shall apply to any debt unless the subscription or donation creating such debt was first submitted to an election of the legal voters of said county, township, city, or town under the provisions of the laws of this state, and a majority of the legal voters living in said county, township, city, or town were in favor of such aid, subscription, or donation, and any county, township, city, or town shall have the right, upon making any subscription or donation to any railroad company, to prescribe the conditions upon which bonds, subscriptions or donations shall be made, and such bonds, subscriptions or donations shall not be valid and binding until such conditions precedent shall have been complied with. And the presiding judge of the county court, or the supervisor of the township, or chief executive officer of the city or town, that shall have issued bonds to any railway or railways, immediately upon the completion of the same near to, into, or through such county, township, city, or town as may have been agreed upon, and the cars running thereon, shall certify under oath that all the preliminary conditions in this act required to be done, to authorize the registration of such bonds and to entitle them to the benefits of this act, have been complied
with, and shall transmit the same to the state auditor, with a statement of the date, amount, number, maturity, and rate of interest of such bonds, and to what company and under what law issued, and thereupon the said bonds shall be subject to registration by the state auditor, as hereinbefore provided."
Pub.Laws Ill. 1869, pp. 317, 319.
Now it is found as a fact that the people voted for the subscription on the condition, specified in the election notices, that no subscription should be made nor bonds issued until the company's machine shops were located at Duquoin. The act of 1869 not only authorized the electors to prescribe such a condition, but declared that no bonds, subscriptions, or donations that were voted on prescribed conditions shall have been "valid and binding until such conditions precedent should have been complied with." That the location of the company's machine shops at Duquoin was a condition precedent to the making of a subscription or the issuing of bonds in payment thereof, is placed beyond question, not only by the special finding of facts, but by the orders of the county court, which were made part of the record for the purpose of presenting the exceptions taken to those orders as evidence in the case.
The order of the county court, made May 24, 1869, submitting to popular vote at an election to be held July 3, 1869, the question of subscription, provided:
"And be it further ordered that no bonds be issued or stock be subscribed by said court to the Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad Company unless twelve hundred and thirty legal voters of said county shall have voted in favor of the same at said election, nor until said company shall have built said road, and put the same in operation from Belleville to Duquoin, through the Town of Pinckneyville, with depot and depot buildings at said town, nor unless said road shall be in operation from Belleville to Duquoin on or before the first day of January, A.D. 1871, and shall locate their machine shops at said Duquoin. And be it further ordered that said bonds shall be in the sums of not less than one hundred nor more than one thousand dollars, payable at any time within twenty years from their date at the option of the said county
court, bearing interest at the rate of 7 percent per annum, and issued under the provisions of the act of the Legislature of Illinois of November 6, 1849, and Act of April 16, A.D. 1869, entitled 'An act to fund and provide for the paying of the railroad debts of counties, townships, cities, and towns.

I have done business with Radiance Aluminum Fence on three different occasions and highly recommend them. The salesman Dan was very helpful and pleasant and is very knowledgeable. The crew did an excellent job in installing the fence and railings in one day. Great job Radiance Aluminum Fence!
When looking for a fence contractor, Radiance came recommended by a colleague. We were looking at simple vinyl coated chain link but Danny sold us on aluminum frontage on our 1000 ft project and we are so glad he did - the fence turned out great! The price was right, the install team was great to work with, and Danny followed through on everything he promised. Thanks!

It's a real pity that Yohan Cabaye's free kick, with just about 30 seconds to go in the game yesterday, didn't go in to give Newcastle the win, because things would be a lot different today, but goalkeeper Guzon made a good save and it means Newcastle have made only an average start to the season, with a very tough game at Everton in two weeks time, next on the agenda.
Alan Pardew being interviewed after the game last night
Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Yohan Cabaye and others haven't looked at their best in the first three league games of the season, and all three of them will now be off to play two games for their countries during the two week International break.
Alan Pardew is saying that players these days play too much football, which is one possible cause of the poor form shown so far this season, and this is what Alan Pardew told the local press today:
"Some of our players are not bang in form but when you're playing a bit more than 11 months a year, some players, it's too much football really." "We're going to have to rest them here and there and get them back to form."
We wouldn't be at all surprised if Alan Pardew changes things around for the game at Everton, and we'd be surprised if both Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba start that game.
The Newcastle manager may even have to revert to a 4-3-3 formation, which worked well earlier this year, with Demba Ba on the left wing, although he didn't particularly like playing there.
Nothing goes well all the time in life or in football, as we all know only too well, but it's a manager's job to pinpoint what the problems are in the team and solve them – that's why they get the big bucks – and that's what Alan Pardew's job is right now at Newcastle.
It's been a bit of a disappointing start to the season, but we shouldn't overdo it either – our position is nothing that a couple of wins cannot quickly put right.
Maybe we can even win at Everton - that would help things big time!

Permissions on Uploaded Files.
20 March 2010 at 2:09pm
I am using Silverstripe on my universities web-server for a class website and I have run into a small hitch.
Whenever I upload a file using the CMS the file is uploaded with read only permissions (600) which means that it will not display on pages, ect...
I have emailed the schools tech department about this and am waiting for a response and thought I would post here also.
The files will upload successfully to the server and the assets folder and all its sub-folders have 777 as there permissions.
Is this a Silverstripe issue or a server issue? I have read around these forums a little and some of the suggestions are to write a cron job that would change all the permissions in everything in the assets folder to 755 every so often or to decorate the File class to change the permissions after upload. Could anyone shed light on either of those methods and give me some link to relevant documentation ect...

Hi Patrick,
The 600 file permission is to do with your web server, which I am going to assume is Apache. There are possibly 2 things at play here. First is the Apache directory that your file is uploaded to. I think what happens is your file is temporarily uploaded to the Apache directory for file uploads and is then moved by the Apache user to the assets folder of SilverStripe.
You will need to have the tech department look at the file permissions of the group for the Apache user, may be called nobody, and see what it is set to stamp files as the are uploaded.
The other thing to check is the file permissions of the Apache temp file uploaded folder.
It may be solved by setting the correct umask on apache.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply Chris, that certainly helps narrow down the problem. Do you have any advice on a workaround for this, either a Cron job or modifying the File Class to fix the permissions after upload?
Something tells me the school is going to drag their feet on this and doing a work around would be faster.

Minecraft creator Notch just dropped $46K on an unreleased Aphex Twin record
Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson spent $46,300 in an eBay auction this week to win a rare printing of Caustic Window's unreleased LP.
The LP stems from electronic musician Richard D. James, also known as Aphex Twin, who planned the album in 1994. Recorded but never released, a 1999 interview with Mike "µ-Ziq" Paradinas described the unheard tracks in detail, saying that only four people were known to have a vinyl test pressing and were sworn not to reproduce them. One those copies appeared online recently, and the electronic music appreciation site We Are the Music Makers organized a successful Kickstarter campaign to purchase it. With James' permission, those who funded the campaign received the previously unreleased, digitally mastered and distributed tracks.
A test printing of the original LP sold on eBay this week for $46,300. Notch first hinted on Twitter yesterday that he was the auction winner, writing that he "kinda paid a lot for a double LP from the '90s." Early today, the auction's sponsor verified that the Minecraft creator won the auction.
"He's a really cool guy, and didn't even consider the charity aspect when buying it (but was really happy to hear that half is going to charity) - he's been an Aphex fan since he was young," Joyrex wrote.
"My daughter was blown away that the guy who made the game she endlessly plays bought a record off her dad for 46K."
A portion of the proceeds will go to the charity of We Are the Music Makers' community's choice. Options include Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, The World Wildlife Foundation and more. You can also purchase a physical copy of "Caustic Window" online.

Golf course's suit targets Northern Pass accord
"If there are legitimate legal issues that deserve consideration, the court is the proper forum for that discussion, not the newspaper. We believe, however, that the 2007 Easement Deed provides PSNH with clear legal rights, and we will respond to the issues in the legal proceeding," Skelton said in an email.
"We have not sold a single property.... We can't survive without selling real estate," Mullen said.
Mullen, Lankau and Owl Street Associates LLC filed a civil suit Tuesday in Grafton County Superior Court in North Haverhill against PSNH, Northern Pass Transmission and Northeast Utilities. The suit asks the court to grant an injunction to stop the utilities from making claims over the property and settle "once and for all that they are claiming rights they do not have," said Hopkinton attorney Arthur B. Cunningham.
In 2010, Owl's Nest Resort & Golf Club was appraised at $23 million and employed about 70 people, Mullen said.
"I'm hearing appraisal numbers now of $2 million to $3 million," he said. The resort is "way behind" on its mortgage and faces foreclosure. It owes about $380,000 in property taxes, and only about 30 people work there.
"If something doesn't happen pretty quickly, we are going to bite the dust here because we can't keep the place open," Mullen said.

The symbol of Queens took on a different hue last week to raise awareness for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.
The Unisphere, a remnant of the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, was bathed in purple light every night to commemorate this year's ACS's annual event, which raises money for cancer research and inspires hope in those affected by it.
Organized by the Howard Beach Relay, the official lighting was a gathering of cancer survivors, patients and those who love them who shared each other's company May 5 on the steps of the famous site, telling stories of their struggles and triumphs with the disease.
Donald Distasio, chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society's Eastern Division, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2007. After undergoing minimally invasive robotic surgery, he is now a survivor and one of many stories of hope the society he loves has helped create.
"Relay For Life is for survivors, remembering those we've lost and trying to do something. It's about raising awareness and getting people to come to us if they have cancer," he said. "It's a movement, it's not just a week-long event. These people work year round to raise money to fund research, help cancer patients when they're diagnosed and just constantly offer help."
During the relay, which started in 1985, teams of participants camp out and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team must have a member on the track at all times until the event ends, which can be as long as 24 hours later.
Kew Gardens resident Lynn Silverstein first found out about the event after she overcame non-Hodgkins lymphoma, for which there is no cure but treatment is possible. She is now a member of the Silver Mariposas team in the Cunningham Park relay and has worked in an official capacity in the past to promote the cause.
"I'm a Queens native, so I wanted to see the Unisphere lit up in purple," she said. "I also wanted to spread the word about Relay because it raises a lot of money for the American Cancer Society and raises awareness. They do research and come up with treatments and cures and a lot of people don't know about them."
Deputy Queens Borough President Barry Grodenchik has several relatives who have battled cancer, and he offered a few words about the importance of the evening.
"We're all cancer survivors here tonight," he said. "All those people on those planes as they fly out and fly in are going to see purple here and think of cancer, and maybe one or two of them will get tested for cancer and maybe it will save someone's life."
