CA Dem Party Passes Resolution to Impeach Bybee
VICTORY: CA Dem Party Will Pass Resolution of Impeachment Inquiry Into Bybee Today. UPDATE: Passed
by dday | Daily Kos
Several weeks of hard work have paid off, and the California Democratic Party, the largest Democratic Party in the country, is poised to provide a major tool in the fight for justice and accountability for the Bush torture regime. The Resolutions Committee included on their consent calendar the resolution to begin a Congressional inquiry into Judge Jay Bybee and other lawyers who wrote opinions justifying and providing the fig leaf of a rationale for torture, with all punishments allowable under the law, including impeachment. The language was softened slightly from the original resolution, but as Congress must begin the inquiry to get to impeachment, this has the same practical effect and can be used.
UPDATE: It passed moments ago. Yes!!!!
Amid Outcry on Memo, Signer's Private Regret (About Bybee)
Amid Outcry on Memo, Signer's Private Regret
Friends Say Judge Wasn't Proud of Outcome
By Karl Vick | Washington Post
On a Saturday night in May last year, Jay S. Bybee hosted dinner for 35 at a Las Vegas restaurant. The young people seated around him had served as his law clerks in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the post Bybee had assumed after two turbulent years at the Justice Department, where as head of the Office of Legal Counsel he signed the legal justifications for harsh interrogations that have become known as the "torture memos."
Five years along in his new life as a federal judge, Bybee gathered the lawyers and their dates for a reunion, telling them he was proud of the legal work they had together produced.
Fixing the Facts and Legal Opinions Around the Torture Policy: The Case for 'Looking Forward' to the Impeachment of Jay S. Bybee
Fixing the Facts and Legal Opinions Around the Torture Policy: The Case for 'Looking Forward' to the Impeachment of Jay S. Bybee
Guest Blogged by Ernest A. Canning | BradBlog
At the same time he took a step forward, releasing the four Justice Department torture memos he described as a "dark and painful chapter in our history," President Barack Obama assured CIA employees, who tortured under cover of these quasi-legal sophistries, they would not be prosecuted. The President said this was "a time for reflection, not retribution...nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past." White House Press Secretary Robert Gibb explained that the President insisted on "looking forward." U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder not only seconded the President's promise not to prosecute, but vowed to provide legal counsel to defend these war criminals and to pay the damages awarded to their victims.
Great Britain's Times Online, quoting an unnamed former official, suggested there may be cases where the CIA exceeded the DOJ guidelines; perhaps even killed detainees. The President's hint at immunity does not extend to officials who exceeded the guidelines. Although the President, in his remarks, made no mention of those who ordered torture, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told ABC's George Stephanopoulos last Sunday that the President did not believe "those who devised the policy" should "be prosecuted."
The President's promise not to prosecute generated a firestorm of protest from the legal community. Law Professor Jonathan Turley blasted the effort to equate law enforcement with "retribution."
He is trying to lay the ground work for principle when he is doing an unprincipled thing....President Obama himself has said that waterboarding is torture, and torture itself violates four treaties and is considered a war crime. So the refusal to allow it to be investigated is to obstruct a war crimes investigation.…There aren't any convenient or inconvenient times to investigate war crimes. You don't have a choice....You have an obligation to do it, and what I think the President is desperately trying to do is to sell this idea that somehow it's a principled thing not to investigate war crimes because its going to be painful…It will be politically unpopular because an investigation will go directly to the doorstep of President Bush…and there's not going to be a lot of defenses that can be raised for ordering a torture program.
Lyons: Torture memos' author has no place on federal bench
By Gene Lyons/Syndicated columnist
Anybody with an active conscience can understand why President Barack Obama ordered the Bush administration's "terror memos" released, overruling his own CIA director. No intelligence secrets were revealed. Much of the information in the documents had previously been widely reported. They weren't classified "Top Secret" to protect national security, but the craven careerists who wrote them, and the White House officials who ordered it done.
To a one-time constitutional-law professor like Obama, the memos' legalistic rationalization of methods indistinguishable from those of the Soviet KGB or South African secret police must have been sickening. Besides shaming themselves and their country, their authors have sullied their profession.
California group presses for impeachment of judge who wrote torture memo
By Frank Davies, Mercury News
WASHINGTON — For six years, a little-known federal judge, Jay Bybee, has worked in a Las Vegas courtroom, hearing cases for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, a furious debate over the use of torture by the Bush administration, fueled by the release of a memo written by Bybee giving legal protection to harsh interrogation tactics, has led to calls from liberal groups for his impeachment.
"He authorized illegal, unconscionable acts, and he should be held accountable," said Rick Jacobs, who chairs the Courage Campaign, a progressive grass-roots group in California. His group launched a petition drive seeking impeachment, and he hopes to spur the California Democratic Party to endorse that position at its convention this weekend in Sacramento.
Are Members of Congress (and Maybe Even the President) Being Blackmailed?
By Dave Lindorff
For some time now, many Americans have wondered how Congress, the elected body that the nation's Founding Fathers saw as the bulwark of liberty, could have been so thoroughly unwilling to, or incapable of challenging the dictatorial power-grabs and the eight-year Constitution wrecking campaign of the Bush/Cheney administration.
There has been speculation on both the far left and the far right, and even among some in the apolitical, cynical middle of the political spectrum, that somehow the Bush/Cheney administration must have been blackmailing at least the key members of the Congressional leadership, most likely through the use of electronic monitoring by the National Security Agency (NSA).
Take Heart and Have Courage
By David Swanson
We've pushed long and hard to put accountability, impeachment, prosecution, and the restoration of congressional power on the American table, and they've all just landed with a thud and splatter of gravy and cranberry dressing. So, eat up, take heart, and prepare to work harder than we have over the past several frustrating years of path breaking and pressure building.
Impeachment, specifically of torture memo author turned lifetime federal judge Jay Bybee ( http://impeachbybee.org ), is now supported by all the organizations that have backed impeachment of his bosses, plus: the New York Times, Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution Jerrold Nadler, Common Cause, Think Progress, and the Courage Campaign [and UPDATE: People for the American Way]. Local Democratic parties in California have passed resolutions and are urging the state party to do so this week requesting the impeachment of Bybee.
Response to Elizabeth de la Vega: Disagreement with a Friend and a Hero
By David Swanson
There are lots of supposed reasons not to appoint a special prosecutor. The first set of such supposed reasons to come from someone intelligent and well-informed with good intentions has come from Elizabeth de la Vega. Here is a response.
1. If we do not extend the statutes of limitations, the careful and considered delay could end up becoming immunity. Simply claiming that the clock doesn't start ticking until the last act of conspiracy to conceal does not do it, since half the legal experts like that reasoning and half do not and we would have to argue each case, including cases that do not clearly involve conspiracies to conceal. In fact, the most egregious crimes have involved open confessions from the highest officials.
2. The Senate as a whole will never ever approve any useful investigation except in committees, but it might convict following an impeachment that changes public awareness.
3. Congressional hearings produce relatively little.
Coalition Requests Impeachment of Jay Bybee
Post a comment below to join.
A coalition of organizations including the Center for Constitutional Rights, After Downing Street, Democrats.com, and Courage Campaign has sent a joint letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers requesting the impeachment of Jay S. Bybee. The coalition is encouraging other organizations to join them in this effort. The full text of the letter follows:
Dear Chairman Conyers:
Torturing Judge Bybee: Make Him Eat His Own Words
By Dave Lindorff
If the day comes that Congress finally does its duty and begins an impeachment effort against 9th Circuit Federal Appeals Judge Jay Bybee, the former Bush assistant attorney general who in 2002 authored a key memo justifying the use of torture against captives in the Afghanistan invasion and the so-called "War on Terror," it would be fitting punishment to watch him squirm as his own words as a judge were played back to him.
It was as an Appeals Court Judge Bybee, sitting on a case being heard in 2006 by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, that he wrote the following words:
Nadler: Impeach Torture Memo Author
By Ryan Grim, Huffington Post
Rep. Jerry Nadler, a senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, called Monday for the impeachment of federal judge Jay Bybee, one of the principal authors of the torture memos released last week by the Obama administration.
"He ought to be impeached," Nadler said in an interview with the Huffington Post. "It was not an honest legal memo. It was an instruction manual on how to break the law."
Nadler, a New York congressman, is chairman of Judiciary's Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Subcommittee. Bybee is currently serving a lifetime term on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, appointed in 2003 and confirmed before it was publicly known that he had authorized the torture of detainees.
NY Times Finally Wants Someone Impeached: Jay Bybee
The Torturers' Manifesto
By NY Times
To read the four newly released memos on prisoner interrogation written by George W. Bush's Justice Department is to take a journey into depravity.
Their language is the precise bureaucratese favored by dungeon masters throughout history. They detail how to fashion a collar for slamming a prisoner against a wall, exactly how many days he can be kept without sleep (11), and what, specifically, he should be told before being locked in a box with an insect — all to stop just short of having a jury decide that these acts violate the laws against torture and abusive treatment of prisoners.
Los Angeles County Democratic Party Unanimously Backs Resolution Urging Impeachment of Jay Bybee
That's the word from California last night. The resolution will be taken up at the state Democratic Party convention next week. Details on Bybee and other criminals and how to make citizen's arrests is here.
Fast Track This! CA Dems Seek Support for Impeachment Resolution of Torture Enabler Jay Bybee; Text & Background Available Here
Note: The deadline for resolutions is this Wednesday, March 25th. Please don't delay!
Hi... Just a note to let you know that I'm organizing a resolution from the California Democratic Party to impeach Jay Bybee.
Below, please find my letter requesting support, and the resolution itself:
Friends and Fellow Members of the California Democratic Party SCC:
This e-mail is marked "urgent" because new revelations are breaking daily about Bush-sanctioned torture, and the legal opinions that underpinned this unprecedented abuse of presidential power.
Next week's "Newsweek" magazine promises that the Obama administration will soon declassify three more key memos from 2005 by Bush's Justice Department detailing "enhanced interrogation" techniques, such as "waterboarding, head-slapping and other rough tactics."
Impeach Jay Bybee
Former Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee was the primary author of "legal" memos purporting to justify torture.
He is now a federal judge.

Obama and Holder Must Prosecute War Crimes or Become Guilty of Them Himself
By Dave Lindorff
The dithering and ducking going on in the Obama White House and the Holder Justice Department over the crimes of the Bush administration are taking on a comic aspect.
On the one hand, we have President Obama assuring us that under his administration, there will be respect for the rule of law, and on the other hand we have this one-time constitutional law professor and his attorney general declaiming that there is no need for the appointment of a prosecutor to bring charges against the people in the last administration, in the CIA, in the National Security Agency and in the Defense Department and the military who clearly have broken the law in serious and felonious ways.
What gets silly is that America is either a nation of laws…or it isn't. It is either a place where "nobody is above the law"…or it isn't.
There is really no middle ground here.
Sen. Leahy's and Rep. Conyers' Truth Commission Could Work but...
By Dave Lindorff
The similar calls by Senate Judiciary Chair Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and House Judiciary Chair Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate the crimes of the Bush/Cheney administration are potentially a terrible idea, but one that could turn out to be an excellent one, if handled correctly.
It would be a terrible idea if a Truth and Reconciliation Commission was just another 9-11-type body. That commission turned out to be worse than nothing, given that it was manipulated by the Bush administration to be toothless and that it ended up covering up more than it uncovered. Aside from the behind the scenes manipulation, the biggest problem with the 9-11 commission, though, was that is was not linked to any attempt to prosecute official wrong-doing.
The Third-Party Delusion and the Need for a Mass Movement for Progressive Change
By Dave Lindorff
I can't count how many people have bombarded me with criticisms, usually laced with insults and often obscenities, when I have written articles calling for pressure on Democratic politicians to do the right thing, whether that is impeaching the last president and vice president for war crimes or in the case of our new president, standing and fighting for a people's bailout, instead of a Wall Street bailout.
The common refrain I hear is that the Democrats and Republicans are the same, and that we need a third party. Another common refrain is that "all you suckers" who voted for Obama are to blame. We should have voted for Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader, they say.
Now I have nothing against McKinney and Nader. That ticket would make for a wonderful administration, I agree. But I also have to point out that there is zero chance of these two people being elected in my lifetime (I'm 59 and pretty healthy) or theirs.
Impeach Bybee
One reason Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was forced to resign was the growing support for a bill in the House that read in its entirety:
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary shall investigate fully whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to impeach Alberto R. Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Way Forward on Holding the Bush/Cheney Administration Accountable for its Crimes
By Dave Lindorff
As someone who has spent nearly three frustrating years actively advocating the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for their many crimes and abuses of power, I have to admit that not only did it not happen, but that the likelihood of their being indicted and brought to trial now that they have left office is exceedingly slim.
MSU College of Law Professor: Can President Bush Be Impeached After He Is Gone?
MSU College of Law Professor: Can President Bush be impeached after he is gone? | The Earth Times
During his last press conference as the acting president, George Bush said there is "no such thing as short-term history" and time will vindicate his decisions to protect America from terrorism. But could President Bush's actions during his years in office embolden his opponents to pursue the former president with articles of impeachment?
Brian Kalt, associate professor of law at Michigan State University College of Law, does not support any movement to impeach President Bush, nor did he back the impeachment effort against President Bill Clinton. But the constitutional law expert argues that this country could someday fall into circumstances – though admittedly rarer than regular impeachment – where late impeachability could be a practical consideration.
Impeachment Investigation Ahead for Bush and Cheney?
Impeachment investigation ahead for Bush and Cheney?
by Martha R Gore | Examiner.com
It came as no surprise that House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers began talking about impeachement hearing against President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney on January 14, 2009. If such hearings come about, according to Conyers, it would be a means of reaffirming constitutional principals.
Many Bush critics think that Conyers put off an impeachment battle during the last two years because of concerns that it might have political repercussions that might have kept the Democrats from winning the larger congressional majorities and the presidency during the 2008 elections.
Obama and Congress Must Act to Restore the Constitution
By Dave Lindorff
The calls for a reckoning for the criminals of the Bush/Cheney administration are growing by the day, as the final few days of the Bush presidency tick down, and as new evidence of their crimes keep pouring out of the deflating gas bag that was the Bush White House.
For years, the Democrats in Congress, with a few notable exceptions, have sat on their hands, allowing the ongoing destruction of the Constitution, of the US military, of the nation's reputation, and of the rule of law, as well as of the institution of Congress itself, by a cabal of Republicans in the White House, led by Vice President Dick Cheney, who have sought to establish an executive-led government that answered only to itself.
Conyers Explains Why He Hasn't Impeached
Over the past three years, a great many people have lobbied Conyers to impeach Bush and Cheney. I've worked with him and his staff, been arrested protesting in his office, and everything in between. Conyers includes in his new report a foreword that amounts to a seven-page letter to disappointed impeachment advocates.
The One-Minute Impeachment
The One-Minute Impeachment
By William Klein | Huffington Post
It took 10 weeks for the House Judiciary Committee to vote to impeach Richard Nixon, and decades later, seven weeks for Bill Clinton.
But it took the Illinois House just three weeks (with time off for Christmas and New Year's) to vote out articles of impeachment for Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and the full House impeached him after a zippy ninety minutes of debate. Pretty good -- but I think we can do even better.
The popular One-Minute Manager books explain how to achieve "the gift" of getting results in less time. The three principles of the One-Minute Manager can be adapted to streamline previously drawn-out constitutional processes like impeachment.
Against Truth, Reconciliation, and Commissions
By David Swanson
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers has introduced a bill, H.R. 104, that would create a commission to spend a year and a half looking at the various crimes of Bush and Cheney. While this might allow congressional Democrats to run election campaigns against Bush and Cheney yet again, even though those two will have been out of office for two years, it's not clear that it would do much else that would be positive.

The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event that occurred about 65 million years ago did not result in the minimization of the size of all the creatures on Earth that survived the catastrophic event according to new research conducted by Caroline Sogot from University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and colleagues that was presented in the Feb. 5, 2014, edition of the journal Public Library of Science.
The researchers examined the fossil remains of 59 different species of bryzoan and found no change in the size of the individuals that make up the colony of these moss animals (ectoprocts). Seventy-five percent of the bryzoan species studied lived through the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Similar changes in the length of individuals and the size of the colonies were found in samples taken before and after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
Prior to this research, the common thought was that all species on Earth experienced a minimization of size due to the lack of food and changes in the atmosphere that resulted from the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
This discovery shows that some forms of life hardly experienced any change from a global calamity. The same effects may be seen in earlier known extinction events and the research bodes well for the ultimate calamity that is predicted to occur from global warming caused at least in part by man.

Reverse engineering, or deformulation is the breaking down of a paint formulation into its basic components, usually finding ingredients that are present down to the 1% level. It involves the separation of the coating components and then identification of these components through analytical chemistry.
These investigations can answer such questions as:
A client may be looking for a specific component in a paint formula or may need a full definitive deformulation.
How is Paint Deformulated?
Paint and coating reverse engineering usually starts with solvent analysis using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) to identify and quantify solvents. Dried coating samples can then be extracted with proprietary solvent combinations to isolate materials based on solubility.
Once materials are isolated, they can be identified using a number of analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM/EDS). Other methods can be used to quantify such as Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Karl Fisher titration.

Atlanta rapper and actor Ludacris will be adding reality television to his resume. He will join Brad Paisley, Josh Groban and Kesha as a judge on the new singing competition show Rising Star. The show will air on ABC starting June 22 at 9pm.
Rising Star will be different from other singing competition shows. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that competitors will get their scores in real time and have the results almost instantly. The audience will vote via an app instead of calling in their votes. Per Deadline the competitors are separated from the audience and judges while they perform and will see their scores on an LED screen.
Rising Star is being produced by Keshet and Dick Clark Productions. Producers held auditions in cities around the country earlier this spring. 60 acts got call backs. This is ABC's second shot at a singing competition. Duets had one season in 2012.
Ludacris (real name Christopher Bridges) is a natural for this show. He did a fantastic job hosting the Billboard Music Awards on May 18. Ludacris was engaging and thinks on his feet. He is also a seasoned actor and a live performer. Ludacris is currently filming Fast and Furious 7 and will drop his 8th studio album Ludaville this fall.
For more information on Rising Star check out the show's website and Facebook page.

I tried to Setup an odbc connection from R to my PostgreSQL database located on a server (package RODBC). When trying to connect the connection failed because I entered a wrong Username in the DSN connection defined in odbc.ini.
So I changed
odbc.ini and tried again but then RStudio froze. So I killed the process and tried to start the application again. Unfortunately now RStudio didn't start at all anymore (the app in the launcher blinks but does not open the UI). I already uninstalled the application with
sudo apt-get purge rstudio
and reinstalled it again. I updated and upgraded all packages...but still the same error. Also trying to start the program from terminal typing rstudio does not give any result. So any idea how to debug this and get Rstudio working again?
Edit: when i start rstudio from terminal with
rstudio &
it shows me the ID 7547. Still this ID doesn't appear in the processes list in the system monitor.

This question already has an answer here:
Please don't mark it duplicate. I have been through the rest of the posts and suggestions!
I am trying to dual boot Windows 7 with Ubuntu or Kali Linux but i am unable to do so.
I have backed up all my data to an external hard drive. So it is safe to work with partitioning.
I have a 500 GB hard drive and installed windows 7 onto a 150GB partition created with windows 7 installer partitioning tool.
I created Kali Linux bootable USB but when i proceed to the manual partitioning tool in the installer, it doesn't detect the Windows partition. It says the 500 GB space is free (unallocated).
I booted into the live kali linux form usb and tried gparted. It gives me the following error.
/dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However,
it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it
was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition
tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos
partition table. Is this a GPT partition table?
I tried the fdisk and its output is given below.

Mirrors: Friend or Foe?
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
This is Ima's farewell blog for the month of March! I have been blogging three times a week for the past month to meet the requirement of a challenge. And it has indeed been a challenge to give time to blogging!
As much as I enjoy reading the blogs of others I have discovered that this gal is not a blogger!
Two insightful blogs, written by a dear SP friend about her fear in dealing with mirrors & her subsequent victory in overcoming that fear, have had me considering my own interaction with mirrors over the years.
Until recently I hadn't considered mirrors to be friend or foe. To my thinking they were simply a useful piece of 'equipment' to use when needed for checking hair & makeup or a hemline or how shoes went with an outfit, etc.
Now I am thinking that our mirrors have a story to tell! The mirrors in the Vision home would relate that Ima didn't pay attention to what was going on while she packed on the pounds. They would say that Ima would give a perfunctory glance in passing, as she went on her merry way!
Last month, as part of a challenge on one of my teams, I chose to inspect my body by standing unclothed before a mirror & carefully take in the different aspect my image presented. The exercise was very therapeutic for me, as I thanked each part of my wonderfully made body for the support given me in helping me along life's pathways. I marveled when I thought how my body has served me well, as I went about my life as wife, mother & homemaker.
I, also, felt the need to humbly apologize to this body, designed so perfectly by my Creator God, for past over fueling abuses I, in ignorance, chose for it.
As kooky an exercise as that might seem, I found it to be a blessing, resulting in my having a deeper appreciation for the workings of my body. It also gave me a sincere desire to right as many as possible of the results that poor choices have inflicted on my body.
Years ago, I was listening to a talk show & heard Victoria Principal (well known actress at that time - although I can't remember seeing her anywhere except on that talk show & on magazine covers at the grocery stores) telling how she had had friends over for dinner & as she stood at the stove one of her friends made a remark about her posterior 'going south'. In other words her buttocks was showing signs of caving to gravity. She hadn't noticed that concern; however, once she was aware she took corrective exercise measures.
What this gal took away from that show was that viewing ones body from all sides/angles is very important. I wonder how much quicker I would have been in getting to a place of being ready to do something about the added inches to my frame, "if only" I had made it my practice to do just that - pay attention to what was going on & to regularly study my body before a full length mirror.
Sadly, until recently, I chose not to do anything about that shared knowledge.
Lately, as mirrors have come to mind, I see them as a 'friend' - right ready to point out things I need to be aware of! I want the mirrors that reflect my image to have a "new & improved" story to tell!
Be blessed!

Great Blog, I've been thinking about the mirror issue alot lately. In a salsa class recently I was having alot of issues with the wall to wall mirrors. I left home and my home mirror was quite complimentary, however the gym mirrors were not. I have broad shoulders, and my gut was protruding a bit. During the class I had to keep telling myself not to focus on the negative, so I started trying to notice only the good stuff. Yes I am not a petite little girl, but I am strong, my shoulders host some nice muscles under a bit of insulation. My legs soldier thru a host of insults I throw at them lately. My back bears much weight without complaint. I came to appreciate the body in front of me, knowing that it will constantly be in transition during my quest for fitness as well as time taking its toll. I appreciate that this body is strong and healthy, I bore two children, gave a kidney to one of them, I can do alot of heavy work that many cannot, and I can still laugh and find joy in the small things. I have not been given a lesser hand because of my broad shoulders and hips, but rather been built to deal with the life that was given me.
Thanks again

I've been going through some of these same thoughts the last few days as well! I was thinking how lucky I am to have the body I have. I may have limitations but I still have my mobility. I can walk. My knees will ache some but there is medication I can take. I think God allows these discoveries because people have been praying for them. He allows the miracle to happen. He wouldn't have to but He does reward us and this is one of the many ways. I also think this is part of being like him - Christ was thin and he shared food and wine - he made it stretch to feed many when others thought there wasn't enough. I think it's a clue to portion sizes that I'm trying to think about right now. I can survive on less and still survive. I'll probably be healthier and happier in the long run.

State of Origin, game II
State of Origin II from Sydney's ANZ Stadium. Photo: Mark Kolbe
Origin is alive. A knife-edge win by the Blues on home turf has sent the series back to Suncorp Stadium locked at one-all. Cameron Smith says they were outplayed by the Blues and he's spot on. NSW defended superbly when it counted and two tries to Brett Stewart did the damage on the scoreboard.
WALKING THE WALK Ricky Stuart did all the talking and his side walked the walk. It was an enthralling affair in tough conditions but the Blues held on with some gutsty and brutal defence when they needed it most. Qld found themselves down 16-6 but got it back to 16-12 and had enough chances to make it seven in a row. They simply weren't up to the challenge provided by a disciplined and motivated wall of blue.
EVERYTHING TO LOSE The game was played with both sides knowing the high stakes. It was enthralling and intense on the slippery surface, full of big hits and calculated kicking. There really is very little between these teams now and it's up for grabs in Brisbane. Game on in every sense.
HANDS LIKE FEET Akuila Uate did his best to help the Maroons with some more poor play under the high ball. He dropped one in the first half and couldn't handle one in the second. Both were followed by tries to Qld. He's a superb ball runner but must have some more confidence with kicks. If he found it hard here, wait until there's 55,000 Queenslanders screaming at him as it sails down from the skies.
ROBBIE FARAH He made 63 tackles. Huge.
CLUNKY ATTACK Queensland never looked like clicking. They made 12 mistakes to three from the Blues and dropped it in tackles, in fielding kicks and threw passes to nobody. They were well off their game thanks to the NSW rush defence and must show more composure at home. Justin Hodges dropping a pass that wasn't even meant for him with a minute to go summed up their night.
PARKER CUT, CRONK BINNED The game changed in the opening minutes of the second half. Corey Parker sustained an awful gash on his shin and never returned. Then Cooper Cronk was sent to the bin for obstructing Carney on the way to a potential try. There wasn't grounds for a penalty try but the sin-binning was costly. NSW scored twice in his absence and never recovered.
CLUTCH PLAY Michael Jennings knocked the ball free from the hands of Brent Tate just as he was about to score the potential match-winning try. Play of the game.
FULLTIME NSW 16 Qld 12.
79th min Hodges knocks on! That's game over and we are going to game three folks. The Maroons attack has been out of sync all night and another mix up there was costly indeed. NSW 16 Qld 12 with seconds left.
79th min Qld scrum win, 55m out as the NSW chant erupts around this ground.
78th min MASSIVE defence from NSW. Qld go nowhere but finally make a move with Boyd. He kicks it into Uate who knocks it on - surely - then runs away to put it down. Nobody is convinced and he's played at that, no doubt. That will be no try and the Maroons will get one final fling. NSW 16 Qld 12.
77th min Uate - heart in mouth stuff there. Ball was rolling along the ground at pace but he manages to scoop it up and make a very strong charge. Watmough on few the last few minutes here and the Blues at the right end of the park. They lead 16-12 and Qld are going to need something incredible to get past them. Just two minutes to play.
76th min Brilliant take from Slater under pressure but Qld have 80m to go.
75th min Taylor drops it - crowd rejoices. Blues huddle. They can sense that might be the defining moment. You wonder if Qld are going to get a chance as good as that again. NSW 16 Qld 12.
74th min Big defensive set from Qld and the Blues don't get far. Slater carts it back and they pile into him. Now a penalty to Qld, Lewis the offender for holding on in that tackle. On a plate for the Maroons now if they're good enough. NSW 16 Qld 12. Down to the wire we go.
71st min Tate! Caught the ball off the cross-kick and was about to plant it when Jennings knocked it out of his hands. That should have been another drop-out but NSW get the ball. Crucial decision there and it goes to the Blues. Great touch from Jennings - flat-out saved a try then. Wow wow and wow. What a game. NSW 16 Qld 12.
69th min The Maroons showing a lot of patience in attack now. They put it in the in-goal and get another set. Slow and steady might win them the race yet. Blues must hold firm.
68th min Qld hold on and surge back. They go 100m with that set and kick and force a restart as Stewart flies back to knock that ball dead. That was close. Qld surging at the moment after being under the pump. Every set of six from this point absolutely vital. NSW 16 Qld 12.
65th min Pearce gets a good kick away under big pressure from Matt Scott. Slater takes it and flies back as Dave Taylor comes back on for Qld. His sort of game now? Maybe. Crowd is 83,110 and they love this - NSW force the mistake from Myles. Great chance for them. It's NSW 16 Qld 6.
63rd min Curveball from Thurston splits the sticks. Huge conversion from his good side. NSW lead 16-12 and after dominating for most of the half, the Blues lead by just four. They have an extra man available but do they have the mental fortitude to close it out? Super finish on the way.
62nd min I think it's a TRY for Qld. Clock stops and it's gone upstairs. Thurston's kick to Uate was a good one and he was no match for Boyd, who bats it back to Inglis to circle around and score in the corner. Put down is good and that's the green light! Inglis gets another one at Origin level and it's a biggie. NSW 16 Qld 10 with a kick from the sideline to come.
61st min Myles went so close there and if that was a Taylor in that gap he might have got there. Another set though as the Qlders start to pile on the pressure. Huge test for the Blues now. They lead 16-6 and this is the time for Qld to strike back you would think.
60th min Smith's grubber is enough to get them another set but not much going on. NSW defence up to every challenge tonight.
58th min Penalty to Qld. They are going to get the chance to set up for a crucial set now. They're on the attack five metres out. NSW 16 Qld 6.
56th min That poor pass from Slater is going to make the error count 8-2 to Qld. Not a stat you really want to win. Must score next to keep their hopes alive or we are going to a decider.
54th min Qld pin the Blues down and get a repeat set. That's a massive dropout though. It sails 60m and spoils the party for the Maroons. Great stuff from the Blues, who can'd do anything wrong at the moment. The Slater pass goes to ground and the wheels, what's left of them, fall off for Qld.
52nd min Cronk's back. Are Qld gone though? Offered very little in attack in the face of swarming NSW defence. Need a plan B in a hurry of this one's curtains. NSW 16 Qld 6.
50th min It's almost Cronk time. They crossed twice in his absence. Just a bit of making up to do. NSW 16 Qld 6. Whoops.
48th min It's a TRY to the Blues! They lead 16-6 and are blitzing them. But if the Inglis decision was strange, that one is strange as well. Hayne lost it forward and kicked it before it hit the ground I suspect. Will need another look. Readers? Thoughts? Anyway, it's 16-6 to the Blues. Carney misses the kick.
46th min Alllll NSW. Easy metres. Qld survive this one and can't wait for Cronk to arrive. Costly sin-binning. Qld will surely be a man down for the rest of the match with that injury to Parker. And Morris is over again but surely Hayne knocked that on before? Am I seeing things? We've gone upstairs. NSW killing them!
44th min TRY to the Blues! They go 70m! Carney makes the break down his end and positions his man perfectly to score under the posts! Genius move to take that penalty a minute ago. Stewart gets number two for tonight and it's 12-6 to the Blues. They've surged to life NSW and Qld still a man down for another eight minutes.
43rd min Carney is going to take the shot here. With Qld a man down. And a fresh set right on their line. This could be a bit of madness but that's why I write and don't coach. He gets it so let's go to NSW 6 Qld 6. Parker still getting treatment for a very, very nasty cut.
42nd min All happening! Blues claiming a try but their man was held back I think. Farah down after being SLAMMED in the ribs by Nate Myles as well. Pearce grubber, Carney chases and locks horns with Cronk. NO TRY but it is surely a penalty to the Blues and Cronk is going to the SIN BIN! Professional foul! Parker down, Cronk sent, the Blues on the attack! It's burst into life the Origin!
41st min We're back on and drama already. Parker down with what looks like a bad injury. He's got a huge gash on his shin. Owww. Play stopped already and he's being carried off. Heroic comeback opportunity? Not convinced. Nate Myles back in after that, say, 45 second rest. NSW to feed a scrum 40m out.
HALFTIME Qld 6 NSW 4
Jon chimes in with a special comment about Uate: "3 tries Uate now owes his teammates. Someone tell him to imagine the ball is a big chicken schnitzel."
And on twitter, Pierre in San Fran tells me he's be "dirty if my stinger didn't try to take the ball on the full in park footy". Michael Jennings might be the man to ask about that.
Uate dominating discussion. Seriously though, he looked at that ball like it was covered in anthrax.
40th min Thurston kicks it from dead in front to make it 6-4 but that was woeful from Uate. Had yonks of time but no intention at all to try and take that bomb on the full. Then he managed to lose it on the bounce under pressure from Boyd. How are Qld winning?
39th min Uate howler! Hannant goes in under the posts and surely this is a try! Disaster for the Bues I think. He let the Cronk bomb bounce, then managed to bungle it on the second take. Harrison is on the spot, Hannant steams through and that's going to by a... TRY to Qld. it's NSW 4 Qld 4 with a kick to come.
37th min Qld under immense pressure! But they hold on. Two huge defensive sets on their line and Cam Smith ends up with the ball. They are on the wrong end at the moment the Maroons and need a massive set to get this moving along. And that's exactly what they get. Massive kick from Cronk and the play goes right down the other end. NSW 4 Qld 0.
36th min Touch judge in. Hodges takes out Carney without the ball. Silly, silly stuff and the set restarts basically.
35th min Mistake from Slater. Bobbles the Carney kick and ends up going into touch right on his line. Bad mistake from the fullback and NSW really in the box seat now to pinch another one before the break. It's 4-0 to the Blues.
33rd min Mal is going to break something soon. Or blame the media. Another Qld error, this time from Hodges as he tries a poorly conceived offload in the tackle. All the pressure gone again and the Blues will feel like they've got the Maroons a little bit rattled I'd think. Containing them with ease at this stage.
31st min Parker and Watmough on for their respective sides and good first touches to both of them. Lots of dummy-half running from both sides in this weather and it's proving effective. NSW getting the better of the kick-chase and territorial game at the moment. Qld need a bit of a spark providing they can hang onto the ball for long enough. NSW 4 Qld 0.
28th min Crowd getting behind their side now after that rush of blood thanks to Stewart's third try in Origin footy. Nice little angle running and inside balls from the Blues. They're trying to get the big Qld forwards to shift direction and it's working as Morris cracks them again down the same side! Bomb goes up but Tate takes it to get the 20m tap. NSW 4 Qld 0.
27th min Carney's kick is... no good. Hooks it and it lands harmlessly. Good stuff from the Blues though. Caught Qld short on that right side and they take a 4-0 lead.
25th min TRY for the Blues. Did enough to get some white paint on the end of that ball. Too many mistakes from Queensland and this time, NSW made them pay. Blues lead it 4-0 with a kick to come.
25th min We're going upstairs! Brett Stewart is over on the right but has he got it down?
24th min Slater limping a little for Qld and now they botch it again. Hannant drops it cold and this must be time to hit the go button for NSW. They feed the scrum midfield, 30m out. No score - yet.
21st min Neither side doing a great deal right in attack. Tough conditions I guess. But some nerves, no doubt. Smith, of all people, passes to nobody and the Qld attack unravels 15m out from the Blues line. NSW get a good kick away through Pearce but Boyd gets to it on the full. Boy this is tight. Luke Lewis and Ben Hannant get a run. Scott off for the Qlders, Tamou for the Blues.
19th min Bird drops it second tackle. Not much chop there. And now a penalty to Qld and bit of push and shove to boot. Meninga brings Shillington into the park in place of Civoniceva, who has looked pretty good in the opening exchanges. No score in game two.
17th min Quality set from the Maroons. Fast ruck play and good kick by Thurston to finish it off. NSW doing more of the grunt work at the moment. Slater almost mucks up the gather off the Farah kick but manages to keep it in play! Miracle stuff. Crazy. But miraculous. Now the crowd getting involved as Glenn Stewart puts a bit hit on Myles! Huge defensive set from the Blues and they win the turnover! No score yet as Grant comes off, replaced by Creagh.
15th min Little chip from Thurston well taken by the Blues and they get the penalty with Cronk offside in that chase. Great defence and helluva start to this game. Playing like teams who know what's at stake. It's 0-0.
13th min Hold on! Have the Maroons scored or butchered one? Gone upstairs. Kick chase was good and Hayne drops it in the in-goal. The ball seemed to be begging for Taylor but he tried to pick it up instead of just putting a big paw on it. Insanity! to be honest, I think Stewart grounded it in any case. In fact, he did. So Taylor gets a let off. No try. NSW drop out though as Smith ruled to have knocked it from Stewart's hand. Score remains 0-0.
11th min Bird drops it on tackle one but Smith is pinged for helping it on its way. He doesn't complain too much about that one. The look of a guilty man. Great reliever for the Blues and they start from the halfway line. Enthralling battle so far. Both sides fairly conservative with their attack in the slippery conditions.
10th min Ooooooh Tate dances with the sideline. A waltz if I'm not mistake. Manages to stay in and trucks it up the park. Not a bad return set from a bad start for Qld. Bird hammers Cronk after the kick and Qld get six again. Ouch. It's 0-0.
8th min Tim Grant gets tangled up with Hodges and gives away the penalty. Hodges is an expert on that and got the rookie there. Grant gives him a shove for good luck. Why not? Qld advance down the field to start their set but Matt Scott makes a very, very bad error. Dropped it at the play-the-ball on tackle one. Fail. It's 0-0.
6th min Brett Stewart goes very close for the Blues. A big run from the impressive Tamou set it up but he an't get there. Pearce ends the set with a poor kick that rolls dead. He needs to do much better than that tonight. It's 0-0.
5th min Only early but Qld much closer to the pace tonight, although Thurston just put that one down in attack. The Blues work it back out and there's no clear advantage to either side at the moment. But there's a penalty to NSW and they'll get the first real opportunity to mount a raid on the line tonight.
3rd min Early break from Cronk! Goes through and chips ahead. The Blues clean up and start right on their line. That's an early scare and a good touch for the Qld number seven. No score as yet.
1st min Blues already attacking the edges in a decent first set. Kick goes right to Slater and he even catches it. Wins all around.
8.15pm Qld to kick off. It's go time fans. Thanks for joining me. We are on!
8.13pm Anthems now and Bevan, I'm in the media box at the ground. Bringing it live and large. Let's do this.
8.12pm Maroons are on the park and a great response, including large plumes of fire, for the Blues. Just the anthem and the smash-a-thon is going to start. I'm loving the idea of an early stoush. In fact, I reckon it's a done deal.
8.10pm Just a bit of stirring music now but here come the Queenslanders. Last shot of them in the sheds as they begin to move out towards the field.
8.04pm Now for the Blues. Bit of Carney love. Gallen! They love him! Huge reception for the lock forward and skipper. A few Watmough fans as well. Yeah, he's ok. We're not far away now folks. Time to get your game face on.
8.02pm Qld player intros. I'll let you know who gets the biggest boo. Inglis solid, Hodges OK. It would have been Thaiday if he was playing. Actually, not much booing at all. What's happening?
8pm A police helicopter just landed in the middle of the park. Some dog got out but more importantly, this chopper is amazing. It looks like Blue Thunder, minus the gatling gun. And the capability to go silent. And the good theme song. Actually, it looks a bit like a transformer. Anyway, it's a good bit of gear. Rugby league LOVES helipcopters.
7.49pm But me old mate Stroevey from Bathurst has decided to brush the game in favour of True Blood. Stroevs! Are you at least going to keep track on the blog? Anna Pacquin isn't a bad second choice. You might be onto something.
7.48pm How about this reference from Bill in FNQ:
I knew you as a young bloke at Imbil Phil. I wouldn't call you smug or ungracious at all.
Too kind Bill. Thanks for sending that comment through at the requested time. You were always punctual.
7.46pm They've stuffed Seal up the far end of the ground behind the sticks. They don't want the rolling stage to muck up the ground. Poor bloke. We love you mate. Great effort.
7.45pm Seal! Seal! OMG! He's busting out 'Crazy' to get us started. Gold nailpolish, for the one person who requested that information.
7.43pm Good start for Qld in the prelim games. The Maroons won the Under 18s game and the police game, which was moved to Kogarah due to the showers that are floating about here. After that, they gave themselves an escort to the ground for the main game.
7.42pm Seal on deck tonight for the pre-game show. I hope we see the real Seal. I can only take him so far in this business.
7.38pm Vince Sorrenti just finished warming up the crowd here. Not a bad effort. My pick of the gags: "Queensland has won six years in a row. You know the only thing most Queenslanders do for six years in a row? Kindergarten."
That's a lie. It only took me five years.
Preamble Good evening fans from a smug, ungracious Queenslander doing my best to duck the Tooheys cans at the always delightful Homebush. Thanks for your company tonight and if you're like me, you won't be able to wait for this one to start. The lead-up has been furious and after the way game one ended, the anticipation was always going to be potentially fatal.
What can I say that hasn't been said? NSW thought they were the better team in game one and Ricky Stuart has made himself exceptionally clear on that front. But the problem with excuses is you eventually run out. The Blues have everything in their favour tonight at their home ground and it really is now or never for some of their players and of course, their coach. They think they can win and send it to a decider in Brisbane.
Queensland got home 18-10 in Melbourne but readily concede they were going backwards for much of the contest. The lingering question surrounding them is did they play below their best level, or have they jumped the shark at series win number six?
The Blues look better for mine with Anthony Watmough on the bench in place of the puzzling Jamie Buhrer. Queensland lose Sam Thaiday to injury, with Dave Taylor set to start, and Corey Parker comes in on the bench. Thaiday is a loss but Parker is an excellent player who gives them quicker and sharper defence around the middle.
Who wins? I really have no idea. You can make very good cases for both sides - and that's why tonight's game is so appealing.

Telescope Optical Assembly, Hubble, 1:5
This is a one-fifth scale model of the optical and instrument assembly of the Hubble Space Telescope, constructed by the Optical Technology Division of the Perkin-Elmer Corporation, the company that built the flight version. The model depicts the truss framework, which supports the optical components and keeps them in precise alignment. Sections of the outer tube and tubular baffle assembly within the truss work are cut away to make the principal components of the optical system visible. This is one of two scale models of the HST in the NASM collection.
The model was donated to NASM by Perkin-Elmer in August 1983.

Autoblog announced earlier today ( Jan 15,2014) that Chrysler has revealed a preliminary online configurator for its 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan. With this being the second generation Chrysler 200, Chrysler hopes to make a splash in the compact executive automobile market.
Click here to check out the online configurator for yourself!
The online configurator starts the 2015 Chrysler 200 at a $22,695 and by adding options and packages, the price crests close to $40,000 from there. Based off the Alfa Romeo platform that also underpins the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee, the Chrysler 200 diverts away from it's previous generation as far away as it possibly could.
The exterior of the 2015 Chrysler 200 is sleek, refined and slippery (with an aerodynamic coefficient of .27) Chrome is used less sparingly then before and it benefits from a more modern look.
Inside, everything is new with a flying buttress center console, thick meaty steering wheel and large 5 inch touch screen.
The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be available in a choice of four trim levels: the base LX, the slightly fancier Limited, the sport-oriented 200S, and the top-of-the-line 200C.
Engines will include a 2.4-liter MultiAir 2 Tiger Shark inline-four powerplant producing 184 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque, as well as a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 good for 295 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque.
Even larger news comes from the inclusion of a standard 9-speed transmission that boasts 35+ miles per gallon.
Give the online configurator a spin and check it out for yourself.

The Tax-Payer.
This is tho title of the paper the
prospective publication of which we
spoke of a few week?since. The first
issue of the new journal appeared en
Saturday last, nod was eagerly
sought after and read by the many
friends of Mr. Ilcyward, its popular
and courteous editor.
In bis salutatory Air. Ilcyward
takes high grouud as a journalist,
and advocates the solidification of
the Democratic party, and the culti
vation of a kindly feeling between all
parties. Our interests are identical,
and the Tax-Payer will endeavor to
organize a grand community of fuel
ing iu the County, and the advance
ment of its prosperity.
The typographical appearance of
our contcmpernry shows that there is
a skillful hand at the head of its pub
lishing department. It has many
excellencies iu this respect.
As a whole, the Tax-Payer bids
fair to be a pcrmaneut institution in
our midst, We again wish it success.
Gol. j0oi?nld R. Barton.

duties of Auditor a few days since
In his bands tho people are satisfied
the matter of assess ing property will
l>o fixirly and impartially attended to.
Fresh from the I0U13 of the people,
be knows their wishes and needs, and
will properly represent them in the
fiscal department of the county. Col.
Barton is an honored citizen, an old
and reliable public servant, and we
welcome his return to official life.
Freight Discriminations.
It is over a thousand miles from
Charleston to St. Lqu'is, and yet the
freight upon flour per barrel from
that distant point to Charleston is
only ninety cents. It is only eighty
miles from Charleston to Orangcburg ,
but our merchants have to pay fifty
cents for each barrel of flour shipped
from Charleston here !
Why this discrimination against
Orangeburg ? Is it because thero is
no competing line between here and
Charleston ? or a desire on the part
of the managers of the South Caroli
na Railroad to injure the commerce
of this place for the benefit of some
other town ? If we are wroug in thus
conjecturing, we know of no other
cause to which to assign this manifest
inconsistency in the matter of
freights, on tho part of the Railroad
Company, save it be in a down right
determination to client our merchants,
because the road has chartered pow
ers and privileges. If this last hypo
thesis be true, our people should be
stir themselves between now and the
next election. They should endeav
or to select intelligent, energetic, and
fearless men for the Legislature'?men
who will not bo afraid to attack this
monstrous monopoly, the South Caro
lina Railroad Company, or to lay
bare its [oppressions and tho wrongs
it has, and is, inflicting upon the
toiling masses' For if the niorch int
has to pay high freights upon his
goods, tho amounts thus expended '
are always added to their cost, and
hence lali upon the consumers, who
iu nine cases out of every ten aro
farmers. Lot them then look about
and determine upon good men to
represent them in the General As*
scmbly. This Railroad Corporation ,
with a cheek of bras* and a heart of
stone, must bo reached somehow, and
the surest way is through the Legis
lature. It is a crimo to extort monoy
thus from our people for freights sim
ply because they can't help themselves.
Would it not be a good idea to call
a meeting *of our citizens fur the pur
pose of considering this matter of
oppression on the part of tho South
Carolina Railroad Company? ?

"It is a Lie."
In the cours e of the Ewing-Mat
thews debate at Dayton Ohio, Gen.
Ewing assailed his opponent on the
ground of tho alledged MattheWS
Vonter compact. Mr. M:itiuwo' mm
wer was brief and to the point. "It
is said by General Ewing," said ho,
"that, in a certain critieat .- tage of tho
progress of the Presidential count, iu
Bpitc of a judicial decision of the judi
cial body to which all questions con
nected with it had been referred, I
appeared on the scene and intervened,
and for the purpose aud with the
effect of defeating certain Democrats
who orther wise would havejoiued with
others of their party in preventing
the declnrntion of the election that R.
B. Hayes is President, that then and
there with these Democrats I made
in the name nnd on the behalf of the
President of the United States, a dis
honest and dishonorable bargain, by
which he was permitted to bo declar
ed and inaugurated President upon
the promise, as a consideration, that
when ipaugii rated he would withdraw
the troops from Louisiana and South
Carolina, and so permit iu the latter
the Stnto government represented by
Wndc Hampton, and in the former
the State government represented by
Gen. Nichols, to be established as the
recognized governments of those
respective States. "Jho gentleman
went 3o far ns to particularize that
this bargain was iu writing. Now, I
intend to make my denial to cover it
in every form?written, vorhat, im
plied, expressed,collateral, incidental
?in every possible form, shape,
variety, mood, tense or view that the
ingenuity or tho malice of any mnn
may affirm it. It is a lie ! There is
not a word of truth iu it. There is
not a partinle of plnusiblo foundation
for it. There is not an event, a fact,
a document, an incident which could
justiiy a reasonable, conscientious
man, concerning tho possibility of it.
Every scrap that I ever wrote or
signed in connection with the history
of that event has been published far
and wide. If nny man has anything
yet, let him produce it. 1 dtfy all

The Ohio Election.
It is generally conceeded that the
Ohio campaign, now about to close?
tho election takes place next Tuesday
?is tho tamest and most lukewarm
on record. The most interesting
point in the contest was tho selection
of a Legislature that will namo Stan
ley Matthews' successor. An im
portant issue like that ought to have
made the canvnss lively; but it did
not. In the last election for Gover
nor, in 1875, Hayes defeated Allen
f>,444 votes. This in a total vote of
599,090. Hayes' percentage of tho
total vote polled was50.47; Allen's,
49.53. In the last Presidential elec
tion, Hayes carried the State by 7,
51G majority; total vote of the State,
059,771. Hayes received 50.214 per
cent, of the vote polled, und Tilden
49.073; Cooper" (Greenback") and
Smith (Prohibition) received 712 per
cent, of the total vote. In the last
General Assembly, the Republicans
had a majoiity of twenty-two on joint
Both parties claim the State rath r
feebly. The Democrats faintly hope
to make Bishop Governor by a com
fortable majority, say 20,000, or at
any rate to control the Legislature by
a small vote on joint ballot. The
Republicans, on the other hand, in a
vague sort of way, claim that West
will be elected by from 5,000 to 10,
000 majority. The workingmau's
movement throws an clement of doubt
all around. If it is as strong as sup
posed, the balance of powjr iu the
Legislature may belong to it. Ten
members elected by the workiugmeu
will do the job. The fact is neither
side is confident in Ohio, and all de
pends upon contingeucos, the scope
and force of which no man can safely
estimate, because they are in part
novel and eutirely problematical.

General H. 0. Butler.
. v
It will not be long before South
Carolina is again represented in the
House and Senate by the best and
ablest men in tlie State. General
Butler, who was elected by the legal
ly orga uized Legislature, will in all
probability be admitted to take his
seat as Senator. The fraud, who
claims a scat by reason of his election
by a body that never had any legal
existence and that fell to the ground
as scon as the military prop was re
moved, cannot be admitted. Should
the legality of General Butler's elec
tion be called into question by reason
of informality or illegality in the
organization of the present Legisla
ture, that question can be easily met.
The Legislature that elected General
Butler exercises all the functions and
powers that belong to the law mak
ing department of the government.
There is no longer any question as to
the rightful government. There is
but one in the State, and that is
recognized by the Executive, legisla
tive and Judicial Departments of the
Eederal Government. General But
ler is entitled to his seat as the Sena
tor elect from South Carolina. Should
tho Senate refuse to admit him it
must declnre a vacancy, because it
cannot admit Corbin. In the event
of a vacancy being declared Gen. But
ler will be re-elected by the Legisla
ture without opposition. He deserves
well of the State. His services de
serve to be rewarded. In the Senate
he would make for himself a record
of which all South Carolinians would
feel proud. Gen Butler is a man of
ability. Ho will retMcr his State as
faithful servico in the Sonate as our
own gallant Gordon. He is not an
impracticable extremist, but n ranu
of liberal, conservative and practical
views. He will be true to his State
and his section, but, at the same time,
he wiU be just and generous, and
comproheusive in all his views. Re
publican Senators will find Gen. But
ler to be as patriotic as *Sov. Hamp
ton. Although tho Senate is very
' close and the Republican party is np
prebensive of tlje Democrats obtain
ing control, we have strong hopes
that a sufficeiit number of right-think
ing Republican Senators will vote
with the Democrats to seat Gen. But

Thistle Hotels Upgrade to MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management Solution
London, England— January 14, 2008 - MICROS-Fidelio UK Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, has partnered with Thistle Hotels to upgrade its various EPOS systems to the PCI compliant 9700 Hospitality Management Solution (HMS), across 30 locations in the UK.
The fully integrated MICROS 9700 HMS solution will replace all of the Thistle Hotels legacy electronic-point-of-sale (EPOS) systems and will aid the hotel chain in producing end-to-end inventory, tighter stock controls, and real-time reporting. With 172 MICROS Workstation 4LX terminals deployed, the resilient solution will improve the levels of customer service and keep labor and hardware costs to a minimum.
MICROS 9700 HMS utilizes the industry's most advanced EPOS technology to deliver maximum flexibility and scalability, providing Thistle's senior management with a tool to produce up-to-the-minute customized reports in real-time.

SOFAZ says still interested in real estate abroad
Gulgiz Dadashova
The state oil fund SOFAZ -- an entity that accumulates and manages Azerbaijan's oil and gas revenues -- has announced that it is still interested in property acquisitions in prime business districts of major cities around the world.
The company said that under short-term plans it plans to purchase commercial real estate in Asia.
"SOFAZ has its own strategy on the purchase of real estate and related requirements. If the commercial property meets the strategy and all requirements of the fund, then SOFAZ is ready to purchase it," the fund told Trend news agency.
Earlier, SOFAZ said it intends to invest about $1 billion in commercial real estate in one of the Asian countries in 2013.
SOFAZ now considers the possibility of investing in commercial real estate in Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Australia.
Regarding the acquisition of real estate in Europe, particularly in Austria, SOFAZ said that there are no specific plans for the acquisition of real estate in this country for now, but in the case of options corresponding to SOFAZ's strategy, they will be considered.
Earlier SOFAZ purchased Gallery Actor, a mixed-use office and retail complex located on Pushkin Square in Moscow for $133 million, an office complex in London's West End for £177.35 million and a property in Paris for €135 million.
Moreover, the Fund is eyeing the opportunity to purchase real estate in Turkey, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
According to SOFAZ's investment strategy, up to five percent of its investment portfolio may be placed in stocks, up to five percent in real estate and five percent in gold.
SOFAZ was established in December 1999 by a presidential decree. Its primary objectives are to help maintain macroeconomic stability in the country and to generate wealth for present and future generations.
Projected total cost (the average amount) of the SOFAZ investment portfolio for 2013 was set at 25.2 billion manats, while the figure was projected at the level of 23 billion manats in late 2012.
In late 2012, the number of SOFAZ subsidiaries abroad reached eight. All created SOFAZ subsidiaries are required to manage the real estate abroad.
SOFAZ subsidiaries in Russia and the UK own investment property in these countries. In turn, the subsidiaries in Luxembourg and France were set up in order to acquire the property and ensure maintenance of investment property in Europe.
As of April 1, 2013, SOFAZ assets stood at $34.325 million, increasing 0.6 percent compared to early 2013.
