Clint Davis awoke that morning laying next to his boyfriend Ted Carver. Ted was still sleeping. Clint got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Clint glanced at the door leading to the room that was once Chris Richardson and Tim Hanning's room. Two other guys were living in that room now, though Clint and Ted saw Chris and Tim often. Clint felt that during those few weeks that the four of them shared a kind of bond as friends. It was Chris that made Clint realize that physical traits are not what someone should look for in a guy. Chris and Tim were very helpful in getting Ted to lose weight, and were making Ted feel so much better about himself. Clint really missed having them close by.
Clint got in the shower and dressed. Clint remembered what life was like at home before his father was killed in a car accident. His father Fred Davis was a good man. Clint remembered doing things with his father like going to baseball games, or throwing a football in the backyard. Clint was eight when his father was killed in that car accident. For about four years Clint and his mother lived like they were the only ones on earth, but then something happened.
Clint's mother met a man, whether she decided to marry the man she married, because she was lonely and in need of companionship, or because she didn't like the idea of Clint growing up without a father figure. Clint didn't know. Clint knew however she could have picked a better person. Clint's stepfather would beat his mother. Clint could remember tending to his mother's wounds. Clint remembered getting her an icepack for her bruises. Clint remembered pleading with his mother saying that she should get rid of his stepfather. That she would be better off without him. They all fell on deaf ears.
One evening Clint saw his stepfather beating his mother and having had enough he got involved. He got in the middle of his forcing his stepfather off his mother. His stepfather told him to get out. Clint said that he wasn't going anywhere. That the house they were in was built by his father and his mother owned it. Clint's mother sided with his stepfather. Clint didn't feel betrayed by his mother. Clint had done some reading on domestic abuse victims and knew that his mother was afraid to side with Clint. Clint tried his best to keep in contact with his mother. Though it was hard since his stepfather was keeping a close watch on who visits and who makes phone calls to the house.
Clint sighed. Thinking about his mother and what she must be going through and how he wasn't there to protect her. He turned on the television and the news was on. Clint received a shock about the story that was on the news.
'Christopher Richardson the son of former Mayor David Richardson is filling his father's shoes. Christopher Richardson, who is openly gay and is currently in a relationship with Timothy Hanning, the son of the pastor of the local Bapist Church Jack Hanning. Richardson is opposed to Jack Hanning doing an anti-gay rally at City Hall went to the Hanning home last night and Richardson and Hanning had it out. As you would remember that Mayor Richardson and Reverend Hanning were bitter enemies as Hanning wished to have a KKK parade through town as Mayor Richardson was opposed to it.'
Clint was shocked by the news. He knew nothing about Chris' father being mayor, but still had a high opinion on Chris for standing up to Jack Hanning as Clint had heard some stories about him. Clint waited for Ted to wake up. Clint waited while Ted showered and got dressed and they headed down to breakfast.
While they were eating breakfast Clint and Ted were told they had a visitor. It was Chris. Ted said. 'You're early we weren't going to go to the GYM until this afternoon.'
'I know.' Chris said. 'I just wanted to talk to you guys real fast. Tomorrow is Tim's birthday, and Sandy and I are throwing him a surprise party can the two of you make it.'
'Sure.' Clint said. 'I'll go.'
'I'll be there too.' said Ted.
'Cool.' said Chris.
'Hey Chris.' said Clint. 'I didn't know that your dad was mayor.'
'I didn't know until yesterday.' said Chris.
'It was all over the news about you meeting Tim's parents.' said Clint.
'Yeah they were wonderful people.' Chris said sarcastically. 'They make Pat Robertson look like nice and sweet.'
'Yeah I have heard stories about Jack Hanning.' said Clint.
'Well, I got to go I will see you later.' said Chris.
Chris got home. He had managed to avoid the reporters who wanted an exclusive interview with him. It was getting so tiresome. Chris thought that they could find something better to put in the news with everything going on in the country and the world and they want an exclusive with a dead former Mayor's gay son. He walked into the main house where he found Tim talking to Sandy and his little brother Davey laying on the floor with a Playstaion2 controller in his hand. Chris played video games with Davey and then said he had to go to the gym. He went by the Gay and Lesbian Shelter House to pick up Ted and the two went to they gym. Chris spent some time sparing while Ted worked out. They showered and when Chris dropped Ted off at the Gay and Lesbian Shelter House they were greeted by Clint who was in tears.
Ted got out of the car and was immediately grabbed by Clint. 'Clint what's wrong?' Ted asked.
'My Mom's in the hospital.' Clint said. 'They say she was beaten.'
Ida Drake who was the housemother of the Gay Boys wing of the Gay and Lesbian Shelter House came out and stood behind Clint. 'Clint would you like to go to the hospital?'
Clint nodded. 'I can take him Mrs. Drake.' Chris said.
'Thank you Chris.' Mrs. Drake said. 'I must say Chris you truly are your father's son by what you did last night. Your father helped my husband and I set this place up.'
'Well thank you.' Chris said. 'Let's go Clint you want to come Ted?'
'I think I better.' said Ted.
Chris got out his cell phone and called Tim as they drove out of the driveway of the Gay and Lesbian Shelter House. Chris told Tim what was going on and he agreed to meet them at the hospital. They got in and Clint said tearfully. 'I am Mary Harper's son.'
'Yes she's in from 326.' said the receptionist. 'On the third floor.'
They got on an elevator and went up to the third floor. They were outside room 326 when Clint saw a man and lunged at him. 'YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU'RE THE REASON SHE'S HERE!'
Chris quickly pulled Clint off the man. Though Clint was struggling. Chris pulled Clint to a chair and got him to sit down. 'Clint what the hell is wrong with you.'
'What the hell is wrong with me?' Clint asked. 'Let me see that man is her husband who fucking beats her. Chris your a boxer why don't you give that man a taste of his own medicine.'
'If I did that Clint that man could have me arrested for assault.' Chris said. 'And when they find out I'm a boxer I could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.'
When Clint calmed down he got up and went in to see his mother. His stepfather just gave him a dirty look. Clint looked at his mother and tears went down his face. Her face was bloody and bruised. He took her hand and kissed it. 'Please Mom. Wake up I'm here now.'
She opened her eyes for a fraction of a second and took one look at Clint. Her eyes closed then the monitor flat lined. Clint stood in horror as doctors and nurses came in to try and revive his mother. He watched as all the doctors and nurses moved back and pulled a sheet over his head. 'NOOOOOOOOO!' Clint shouted. 'SHE'S NOT DEAD!!!'
Orderlies came into the room and pulled Clint out. Chris and Ted were standing there. They had been joined by Tim. Clint looked right at his stepfather and made a lunge for him but Chris stopped him. 'YOU BASTARD YOU KILLED HER!' Clint shouted. 'SOMEONE CALL THE COPS AND HAVE HIM ARRESTED FOR MURDER!' Though at that moment two cops came off the elevator and started talking to the doctors. The cops then went to Clint's stepfather and started reading him his rights and put him in handcuffs.
Chris said. 'Let's go there's not much we can do now.' They got on the elevator and left the hospital. Chris dropped Ted and Clint who was sobbing into Ted's arm off at the Gay and Lesbian Shelter House. Chris and Tim followed them inside. Chris found Mrs. Drake. 'Mrs. Drake Clint's mother died.'
'Oh my!' Mrs. Drake said. 'When the hospital called today they said things didn't look good for Mary. She was a good friend of mine. Well we haven't spoken much since she got remarried, but her first husband Clint's father was a good man. He worked with your father. He and my husband were good friends, and so Mary and I became friends. That's part of the reason why I took Clint on. And I was horrified to hear about Mary being abused by her husband.'
'Clint's taking it pretty hard.' Chris said.
'I understand that.' Mrs. Drake said. 'He's going to need his friends now more than ever.'
'I'll be there for him.' Chris said.
'So will I.' said Tim.
They said goodbye to Mrs. Drake and went home.

OED New and Improved
Yes! We subscribe to the Oxford English Dictionary Online (OED), so don't forget to access it via the library website.
The Oxford English Dictionary substantially revamped its online edition yesterday, rolling out new features such as integrating the Historical Thesaurus to the OED, as well as a complete list of sources, which has led British newspapers to brag about their contributions to the mother tongue. (quoted from Bookforum)
Word of the Year: 'Refudiate'
Oxford University Press on Monday named "refudiate" as the 2010 "word of the year." The Sarah Palin creation beat out such words as "gleek," "retweet," and "Tea Party." Language purists need not worry: winning this "honor" doesn't mean the word will be added to the New Oxford American Dictionary.

Fister on Undergraduates in the Library, Trying Not to Drown

RefWorks 2.0
Just logged into the beta version of RefWorks 2.0 for the first time. Not noticing a new interface? That's because RefWorks 2.0 is in beta–traditional RefWorks is running side-by-side and you can chose either version. Traditional RefWorks is still the default.
For simple functions like importing references and filing them, it seems pretty similar to regular RefWorks. So far, I'm seeing that there may be problems with Internet Explorer 8 and RefWorks, so if you're going to try RefWorks 2.0, use Firefox.
Want to try RefWorks 2.0? Just click on the link on the upper right side of the initial screen (see the screenshot above).
We're working on informing everyone about the new version of RefWorks coming down the pike. Stay tuned!

Today is the first World Statistics Day
World Statistics Day is sponsored by the United Nations. Here's a related post from Lifehacker Basic Errors to Avoid When Interpreting Survey StatisticsToday isn't just a pretty neat date (20/10/2010); it's also World Statistics Day. While designed to celebrate the collectors of national statistics, it's also a timely chance to remind ourselves of traps we often fall into when looking at survey data.
Ed. note: This post is from Lifehacker Australia's excellent Lifehacker 101 series and written by Lifehacker AU's editor, Angus Kidman.
Everyone loves quoting a statistic, and no wonder: specific numbers always sound more convincing than broad generalisations. However, not all statistics are created equal—the results of a web poll are demonstrably less valid than votes in a national election—-and many of us misquote data for our own ends even when the source is basically reasonable. Here are some simple issues worth bearing in mind whenever you consider statistics. They should be obvious, but they're often ignored.
As a working example, we're going use a press release issued by the Enterprise Desktop Alliance (EDA) this week entitled Macs Will Increase Their Market Share in the Enterprise by 57%. Press releases are designed to encourage journalists to write stories, and at first glance this sounds impressive and will doubtless attract coverage: it has an Apple-related angle, it suggests major growth, and it hints that the long-standing enterprise bias against installing Macs because of management or security policies might be easing.
The first trap is that the quoted percentage in the headline has been chosen for maximum impact. Based on the survey's own quoted data, the obvious reason Mac enterprise share has risen a lot in percentage terms is that it has started from a very low base: from 3.3% in 2009 to a projected 5.2% in 2011. To take a reverse but equally valid slant, less than 1 in 10 machines going into an enterprise customer is a Mac (right now, less than 1 in 20). If the overall numbers are valid (and buying intentions are reflected in actual behaviour), there's definitely going to be growth, but the overall percentages for market share give a more accurate and less dramatic picture than the 57% change headline figure.
The next question is whether we can trust that the data has been accurately derived. According to the EDA, it is based on a survey of 460 enterprise IT administrators in June 2010. Companies included had more than 100 machines installed, which seems a reasonable basic definition for an enterprise.
Just 8% of respondents were from outside the US, so it would make sense to qualify any comments on the data with that point. (While the US is a dominant player in tech, buying patterns in other world markets can be very different.)
The bigger problem, however, is that the survey was conducted online and promoted via the mailing lists of EDA member companies. The EDA's own mission statement is to help "deliver solutions that streamline the deployment, integration and management of the Mac in sophisticated Windows-centric IT environments". In other words, anyone aware of it or its members is likely already interested in the topic of Mac/Windows integration.
As such, any figures about the use of Macs within business might well overstate their impact – if you ran a Windows-only company, your likelihood of dealing with the EDA would be much lower. The press release does say that only 65% of the organisations surveyed actually had any Macs in place, so this might not be a major issue in practice, but it's certainly worth bearing in mind.
None of this means that the data is automatically not relevant or interesting (or that the usage of Macs in the enterprise isn't growing): it just means that it should be treated with a fair degree of caution. We haven't even looked at more technical statistical concepts such as margins of error, or the dangers of quoting averages. Simply asking "What is the basis of these survey results?", "Is there a possibility of bias?" and "Are percentage changes the most accurate measure?" highlights a lot of possible issues.

Slow Foodie at the helm of new PV resort's restaurants
InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa isn't set to open until August, but there's already a reason to look forward to it -- they've hired Francesco Roccato as executive chef.
The Torino, Italy, native is a Slow Food member who's done stints in kitchens around the world, from Spain to Bermuda to Canada. Most recently, Roccato was executive chef at the InterContinental Cleveland, whose Table 45 is a 2008 James Beard award nominee and was named one of Esquire's Top 20 Best New Restaurants last year.
No doubt Roccato will have his hands full at the Moroccan- and Spanish-inspired Paradise Valley luxury resort, where he'll be developing concepts for a signature restaurant and bar (he'll be hiring a chef de cuisine soon), spa bistro, pool bar and grill, and café.
Keep an eye out for him if you hit up West of Western this weekend -- he'll be there doing some meet 'n greet with the local foodie community.

Courbet, Gustave
Students of Courbet, Gustave studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Courbet, Gustave textbooks – for example Courbet by [Linda Nochlin], and Courbet by [Mega Square] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Courbet, Gustave is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Courbet, Gustave books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Courbet, Gustave classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Chapter 3 The Town
We were soon at the edge of the town and the end of the forest.
"Guys, we are going to need fake names." Kaino said. "I will be Soung. Kyalin you can be called Lin and Kai Leu you can be called Aijou."
I soon blushed. Jane Lei taught me the native language of the Fire Nation. I didn't pick up much, but I do know that Aijou means love. Kaino smiled.
"Is everyone ready?" Kaino asks.
We all nod and cross the small dirt road into the town. There are lots of people marching around, but I can't even see a market. A girl about Kaino's age is carrying a huge box to the edge of a carriage. People yell around looking for passports. I walk along accidentally bumping into the girl. "I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay!" she says. "Are you heading to the edge of town?" she asks lifting the box down. She wore a long red robe with brown pants. Her hair looked like Kyalin's only it was about my size.
"No we are travelers. We are looking for a map to the Fire Nation." I told her.
"Oh! I'm Dianle. Most of the markets are closed. People worry the spirits will come here. No one knows why, but I think we are mistreating the earth."
I thought for a little. I must not reveal I am the Avatar. "Oh... I am Aijou and this is my brother Soung and my sister Lin."
"You don't look much like your siblings," she replied.
"I'm more like my mother," I said.
We all waved. I think Dianle found it strange I had the name Aijou, "You mother must of loved you very much. I mean... Not to make you uncomfortable... Sorry! I'm really strange sometimes. Why don't you just come by and I'll give you guys a map. We won't need it really. Come on with me."
We all followed her into her house. Her family was in the yard packing. I noticed Kaino was blushing when we entered the house.
"So why do you want to go to the Fire Nation? I was born there. I'm supposed to be a fire bender, but since we moved here I haven't got to use it much. I heard it got roughed up real bad!" Dianle asked us.
Kaino pushed himself into the conversation, "We just used pure logic. If the Fire Nation already got hit than they probably won't again."
Dianle nodded her head, "You seem very intelligent. You must have all the brains."
I stuck my tongue out secretly. Dianle nodded her head again getting out the maps, "My family is heading to the south pole. It's going to be harsh. Have you been there?"
This time it was Kyalin's turn to interrupt and give an answer, "No. I've never seen it."
Dianle nodded one more time and pulled out the map handing it to Kaino even though I asked for the map in the first place. Dianle smiled as she handed it to him, "I hope you all have safe travels. Don't forget to use your brain, Soung. I'm sure you'd all be nowhere without it." Dianle smiled and waved holding out the door.
"Good bye! Good bye Soung!" Dianle said smiling.
When we started to leave the town I started to write into my diary.
I hated the way she gave him the map. I hated the way she said good by personally to him. I hated the way she said he had all the brains. I hate it. But the one thing I liked about this is that she knows my name is Aijou. She doesn't know who gave it to me, but I do.
I soon put my diary away and as we started to walk I heard a voice stop us, "Wait! Wait! I heard there will be a storm. You should stay at my house. We are leaving soon anyways. You can meet my parents."
It was Dianle. I looked at Kaino for his response. "I think we shouldn't stop." I say. "She could jeopardize our identity. Plus think of the way she was acting earlier."
"She was being social!" Kaino said making a strange face at me.
Kyalin made a face saying I was being a little harsh, "Brr!" She said.
Kyalin led the way into their house. It was small and empty. Only a table. There were nice red carpets and lights. They had nice Fire Nation rugs. Dianle had a little brother with black spiky hair. Dianle's parents smiled when we entered. Dianle also led a bright smile.
"This is Aijou, Lin, and last and definitely not least Soung!" Dianle announced with her parents both clapping. The Dianle looked at her parents and then back at me. Her parents smiled. "Aijou?"
"Yeah?" I asked looking down at the ground.
Dianle quickly grabbed my arm and led me to the back. It was a smaller room with two small mats. I could tell this is where she and her brother sleep. She motioned for me to sit and then she began, "I have this people skill. It's sort of been taunting me though lately I think it relates to my bending. I can tell people apart and what I can do. My parents have said yes and my brother has agreed. I am allowed to journey off with you."
I stare at the mat for a little. Then I just think the girl has eaten way too many fire flakes, "What are you talking about?"
Dianle looked at me again and held my hand, "It's that people thing again. You see I know the truth. When I see someone I see the real you. You are a rich girl from the Earth Kingdom who gave up lots to save the world."
Dianle paused for a while. "Okay maybe some of that was from yesterday..."
"You're a spy?" I yelled at her.
"No. I know people. I see the real you, Kai Leu. Your real name if Kai Leu and you left the people you love to come here. But you did it to protect them. I can help you. I know the real reason you are leaving is to find a fire bending teacher. I can teach you. I know you are the Avatar!"
I looked down at myself. I nod silently. Dianle quickly gets up.
"I don't have much. I have a few clothes and spare money and some food. I only have a small bag and if it makes you feel better I will carry it myself." Dianle said smiling.
This time I smile too. We nod.
I am writing this as I see Dianle's parents leave onto the ferry. A storm is coming up. Dianle can tell. I get to like this girl more often. We remain in Dianle's house for the storm.
I am forever yours truly,Kai Leu (Or should I just say Avatar)

Are you drunk? Great, step right on in. This perpetually crowded dive requires a bit of intoxication to tolerably make it through the foggy doors. The inside can get hot and sweaty and smell like it to, but it's so easy to make new friends with how nice the people are. This bar's got no flair other than a whiskey on the rocks—and there's no shame in that.

Letter from Severo Ochoa to Francis Crick
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
I also want to thank you for your earlier letter, of September 21, and the preprint of your review on the code for Progress in Nucleic Acid Research. At that time, we had already analyzed many of the polymers used in our work and I understand that you have seen the data sent by Lengyel to Bretscher. We have recently obtained exciting new data as we found that poly A stimulates the incorporation of lysine and appears to direct the synthesis of polylysine. This made it possible to make A-rich non-U polymers and we got a number of code triplets without U for several amino acids. I am enclosing the preprint of a paper that we have submitted to the National Academy. It looks therefore as if the code is pretty degenerate although I am not sure yet whether some kind of doublet code as proposed by Roberts could not account for the results. The enclosed sheet lists the U- and non-U triplets we have obtained so far and you can see that several of them share doublets. Therefore, in the case, let us say, of histidine it may be that for AUC and ACC only the AC doublet is meaningful so that a single rather than a degenerate code is in fact involved. The final criterion for degeneracy of the code for each amino acid might well have to be based on whether there is one or more transfer RNA's specific for this amino acid.

I'm a guy who wears Uggs and I don't think there is a problem with it. They were originally worn by men, and women only started wearing them recently. Ugg has a huge mens line, and even ran a commercial for Uggs on Monday night football. Considering girls wear mens shoes like Jordans, and Uggs were originally worn by men, I see no problem with it.
When I wear my Uggs I usually wear them all fall and winter, and I wear them with my pants tucked in. FYI I'm not one of those Metrosexual guys. I wear manly clothes and dress like any other guy. I just like Uggs cause they are so comfortable and I like how they look.
If you liked a guy and thought he was good looking, funny and nice, but he dressed like I do, would you not date him.
Most Helpful Girl
Purposeful pun is purposeful.
Not a fan of them in general.
Anyways I'm not going to date or not date a guy just based on the shoes he wears. As long as he's clean and well-kept, that's more important than the name-brand stuff...10|10|0

Nerlens Noel
A Defensive Presence with Sick Hair
- Height: 6-10
- Weight: 228 lbs
Defense in the NBA is extremely valuable. Nerlens Noel, though currently rehabbing from a torn ACL, is already talented enough to be a great NBA defender at the center position. He is limited offensively, but he is athletic and is a highflying dunker. Though he did not play in many college games, the Cavs' last two Number 1 picks played in even fewer college games than he did! Based on that luck, the Cavs shouldn't jinx anything by drafting anyone else. Noel draws comparisons to Tyson Chandler, a player who is invaluable defensively, something that cannot be measured perfectly on the stat sheet right now. That said, Team USA does not win a gold medal in the Olympics without Chandler and they probably don't even stand on the podium without him down low. With the league getting faster and turning in to NBA Jam, i.e. three pointers and dunks, being able to limit the dunks and points in the paint from other teams would be immensely helpful. Great centers, especially defensively, are very tough to come by in the NBA. The Cavs cannot pass on the opportunity to draft one. Did I mention he has a great hi-top fade?

BR4-Y et al. v. COBB. (DIstrict Court, E. D. North Carolina. December 30, 1898.)
Under Bankruptcy Act· 1898, § 39, providing that "referees shall not act in cases in which they are directly or Indirectly interested," a referee is not disquallfted by interest from acting in a particular case because he owes a debt to the bankrupt. The interest which will disqualify is an interest either in the proceedings in bankruptcy or in the estate of the bankrupt. But the judge, on being apprised of the fact that the referee is a debtor of the bankrupt, may, in his discretion, revoke the order of reference, and send the case to another referee. bankruptcy would regularly be referred is absent or disqualified, the judge may appoint a special referee, and refer the case to him. This may be done before the answer of the alleged bankrupt is filed, and does not require the consent or approval of the respondent or his attorney. A deputy clerk of a court of bankruptcy has no authority to refer a petition in bankruptcy to the referee. An order of reference may be made by the clerk, but only in case the judge is absent from the district, or from the division of the district, where the petition is filed. An order of reference, made by the judge and attested by the deputy clerk, is valid.
S. SAME-ApPOINTMENT OF SPECIAl, REFEREE. Under Bankruptcy Act 1898, § 43, when the referee to whom a case in
SAME-ACTS OF BANKRUPTCY--AsSIGNMENT FOR CREDITORS.
Under Bankruptcy Act 1898, § 3, declaring that It shall be an act of bankruptcy if a person shall have "made a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors," the making of such an assignment is an act of bankruptcy per se, without reference to the debtor's solvency or Insolvency at the time.
6. SAME-CONTROVERTING ALLEGATION OF INSOLVENCY. Under Bankruptcy Act 1898, § 3, subsec. d, providing that when a person
against whom an involuntary petition in bankruptcy Is filed takes Issue with and denies the allegation of his insolvency. It shall be his duty to appear in court on the hearing with his books, papers, and accounts, and submit to an examination, and that his failure to do so shall impose upon him the burden.. of proving his solvency, a simple denial of the fact of insolvency in the answer by an alleged bankrupt (who had previously assigned all his property for the benefit of creditors), unaccompanied by any affidavits, schedules, or other evidence, does not raise such an issue of solvency as is contemplated by the act, nor sustain the burden of proof.
In a case of involuntary bankruptcy, a demand for a trIal by jury, as to the commission of the acts of bankruptcy alleged and the fact of insolvency, must be made by the debtor at or before the expiration of the time allowed for an answer,-10 days after the return day of the subprena,unless the time is extended by the court; if not demanded until 7 days later, trIal by jury wlll be deemed to have been waived. Relationship between the bankrupt and the deputy clerk of the district court in whose office the petition was filed will be cause for transferring the case to another seat of the court in the same district and division, and ordering the record to be filed and docketed in the otlice of the clerk of the court at the latter place.
In Bankruptcy. E. F. Aydlett, for plaintiffs. T. G. Skinner andG. W. Ward, for defendant.
PURNELL, District Judge. On the 30th day of Novembf'r, 1898, a petition to have George W. Cobb, individually and as surviving partner of Guirkin & Co., declared a bankrupt, was exhibited to the district judge, and, it appearing to the satisfaction of the said judge there was necessity therefor, a special messenger was appointed under equity rule 15, to execute the process in said proceeding. The sub· puma issued December 1st, and was made returnable on the same day. It was executed on December 1, in due form. It further appearing that the referee for that division of the district was interested and disqualified (chapter 5, § 39b), John W. Albertson was appointed special referee, and upon his qualification as ordered the matter was reo ferred to him as special referee (section 43). The petition alleged as acts of bankruptcy that defendant had made an assignment with preference5 amounting to $29,000 on the 19th day of October, 1898; that defendant is indebted to petitioners in the amounts set out, aggregating over $9,000, for which they have no security, and defendant has failed to pay such indebtedness; that the assignment hinders, delays, and defeats petitioners; that there are other creditors not secured, and the indebtedness of defendant amounts to over $50,000, which he is unable to pay; that all the estate of the defendant, Cobb, has been turned over to the trustee under the assignment. ()n the 17th day of December defendant filed an answer admitting a majority of the debts set out in the petition and denying others. He admitted the assignment, but denied fraud, denied the allegation of insolvency, and alleged that he was solvent. He denied that the assignment was made with intent to hinder and delay creditors, denied that there were other creditors, and denied that he was unable to pay his debts. He admitted that his property had been turned over to the trustee under the assignment, and alleged that it was worth over $60,000. On the same day, at 9 a. m., a petition was filed by the defendant for a trial by jury of the issue of insolvency and the acts of bankruptcy alleged. Chapter 4, § 19. There was a hearing December 19th before the special referee, and argument by counsel. At an adjourned meeting the referee his decision against defendant, but refused to sign an order adjudging him a bankrupt, when affidavits were filed, verified December 22, 1898, showing the referee is a debtor of defendant in these proceedings, and a petition filed asking for a review thereof by the judge. The exceptions in the petition for review, are: (1) That the special referee is disqualified under chapter 5, § 39, subsec. b. (2) Because the referee was appointed before the answer and petition for a jury were filed, and without the knowledge, consent, or approval of respondent or his attorneys. (3) Because the cause was not referred by the deputy clerk of the court at Elizabeth City. (4) The clerk has no power or authority to refer this cause. (5) That, answer having been filed denying insolvency, referee had no power to find as a fact or decree as a matter of law that the assignment referred to was an act of bankruptcy. It is now, December 27, 1898, made known to the court for the first time, that the special referee appointed herein was and is a debtor of the respondent, and it is, to say the least, bad faith for the respond-

The deputy clerk at Elizabeth City being' a brother·in·law of defend· ant, Cobb, and there being but one clerk in the district, at Raleigh, the judge referred the matter. The case at bar is an exception to the provision for reference by the clerk, the judge 'being in district; and, even if this were within the purview of the power conferred on the clerk, he neglected to perform the duty. But, the cause having been referred by the judge, the clerk, and certainly the deputy at Elizabeth City, had no power in the premises. He has no judicial powers in bankruptcy, but is a ministerial officer, subject to the orders of the district judge, and a deputy clerk is not mentioned in the act. The deputy's authority and power are confined to those conferred by statute (Rev. St. § 558). An order signed by the judge and attested by the deputy clerk with the seal of the court is valid, but alone a deputy clerk cannot make an order of reference in bankruptcy. Wheth· er he can do so in the name of the clerk, qurnre? The whole matter is now before the judge, and will be considered, decided, and of on the record sent up, the pleadings and affidavits, which is the whole record, both as on petition for review and as acting referee under section 43. 'fhe only remaining question is embodied in the fifth exception in these words: "That, answer having been filed denying insolvency, ref· eree had no power to find as a fact, or decree as a matter of law, that the assignment referred to was an act of bankruptcy." The excep· tion is on the ground of power in the referee. The ground of power will be disregarded, and the cause considered on the record as upon an original hearing as aforesaid. Defendant-for there is in fact but one -G. W. Cobb, in a dual capacity, admits the assignment of all his property in both capacities as set out in the petition, but denies insolvency, basing such, denial on a difference of valuation of the properly assigned. Was this an act of bankruptcy? The debts denied are insignificant. It is admitted there are other creditors not secured in the assignment, approximating $9,000, but the amount is immaterial. Chapter 3, § 3, subsec. 4, defining acts of bankruptcy is, "made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors." Defendant, there· fore, committed an act of bankruptcy in the plain language of the statute. It is so held and adjudged. Other acts of bankruptey de· fined in the section (chapter 3, § 3, subsec. 1) are based upon or connected with the condition of insolvency; but where there is a general assignment there is no limitation. It is per se an act of bankruptcy. Insolvency is denied. Chapter 1, § 1, subsec. 15, provides: "A per. son shall be deemed insolvent within the provisions of this act when. ever the aggregate of his property, exclusive of any property which he may have conveyed, transferred, concealed or removed or permitted to be concealed or removed, with intent to defraud, hinder or delay his creditors, shall not at a fair valuation be sufficient in amount to pay his debts." Defendant has assigned all his property, and provided for the payment of others in preference to debts due petitioners. This is such intent to hinder or delay, if not, in law, to defraud, peti· tioners as is contemplated. But subsection d of section ?provides that, a person denying the allegation of insolvency, it shall be his duty to appear with his books, and submit to an examination, and, upon
failure to so appear, the burden of proving solvency is upon him. This has not been done, but, after assigning all his property, insolvency is simply denied, and the denial, as appears in the· answer, is based solely on, an opinion lls to the value of his estate, unascertained by schedules or other proper basis. The fact of the assignment is some evidence the property is not sufficient to pay all defendant's debts, but is made for the purpose and with the intent to prefer certain creditors, and to hinder and delay others. Such a denial does not raise a bona fide issue of solvency, as is contemplated in. the act, or di· rected to be tried by a jury. Having failed to comply with the requirements of the section quoted above, the burden is upon defendant to prove solvency; and no evidence is offered to this end, not even a schedule or affidavit. Solvency is a complete defense (section 3, subsec. c), and a trial by jury provided for (section 19), except as otherwise provided "upon filing a written application therefor at or before the time within which an answer may be filed" (section 19). In bankruptcy proceedings time is frequently essential, and prompt action of great importance. The time prescribed in the statute is mandatory, and must be strictly observed, for the act provides: ''If such application is not filed within such time a trial by jury shall be deemed to .have been waived." Within what time an answer might be filed in the cause is of vital importance. The subprena was made returnable and was served on December 1st. That was the return day. Section 18, sUbsec. b, limits the time within which the bankrupt or any creditor may appear and plead to the petition to 10 days after the return day. The time has not been extended, or asked to be extended by the court, hence the answer and written application for a trial by jury filed December 17th-17 days after the return day-were not made within the time allowed, the trial by jury was waived, and the adjudication should have been made pro confesso. It is therefore considered, ordered, and adjudged that G. W. Cobb, individually and as surviving partner of Guirkin & Co., has committed acts of bankruptcy as set out in the petition, and is hereby adjudged a bankrupt, within the meaning of the act of congress approved July 1, 1898, entitled "An act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States"; that in view of the relationship of the deputy clerk at Elizabeth City and defendant, this cause be, and the same is hereby, transferred and removed from the district court of the United States for the Eastern district of North Carolina at Elizabeth City to the district court of the United States in and for the same district at New Berne, in said district; that the records, pleadings, and papers filed in the cause be filed and docketed in the said district court at New Berne, N. C., and be proceeded in according to law as though the original petition had been filed in, and the subprena issued from, said district court at New Berne; that, to secure the unbiased and impartial administration contemplated by the statute, the former order of reference herein is revoked, and this proceeding is referred under the statute to L. J. Moore, referee for the Tbird division of the Eastern district of North Carolina, with instructions to proceed herein' according to law.
In re FOLB. (DIstrict Court, E. D. North Carolina.
December 28, 1898.)
Where, under a general assignment made by a debtor more than a year before the commencement of proceedings in bankruptcy, a creditor, therein preferred, has received a partial payment of his claim, he is not required, before being admitted to prove his debt in the bankruptcy proceedings and vote in the election of a trustee, to refund to the estate of the bankrupt the amount so received. The claim is provable for the balance remaining unpaid.
In Bankruptcy. The referee in bankruptcy to whom the case was referred certified to the court the following record of the questions arising before, him, and his findings thereon:
To Hon. Thos. R. Purnell, Judge: This Is to certify to your honor that at the first meeting of creditors of the said bankrupt, held, after lawful notice, at the office of J. G. Shaw, Esq., in )J'ayettevUle, N. C., among other things the following proceedings were had: H. McD. Robinson, Esq., and Hon. R. P. Buxton, respectively, for creditors represented by them, made objection to the proof and filing of certain notes executed by the bankrupt prior to the passage of the bankrupt act on July 1, 1898, to Ransom Burns and to J. A. Burns, on the dates and for the amounts fully set out in copies of said notes herewith sent as part of this report, with the indorsement thereon, and also objected to filing and approval of the accounts of McMillan Bros. and Thomas A. Thornton, as shown by exhibits herewith filed, unless twenty per centum of all said claims paid to said creditors under conditions hereinafter set outimproperly paid, as contended by objectors-be refunded to the estate of said bankrupt, and for the further objection that said claims are not properly proved before the referee, and are by him improperly allowed. No affidavits or other proof were offered by the objectors, but the following facts are admitted: That on the - - day of - - , 1897, and before the passage of the bankruptcy act by congress, July 1, 1898, the bankrupt, Mike Folb, executed a deed of assignment to one - - Taylor, as assignee, wherein the abovenamed creditors were preferred; and that In the month of October, 1897, twenty per centum of their claims was paid to each of said creditors by said Taylor, assignee, and credit given for same. That said objectors further claimed that the proof of said claims was insufficient, and the same should not be counted, either in number of creditors or amount of claims, in ascertaining the result of the vote for trustee of said estate. That all of said objections were overruled, said claims allowed to be filed, and on the vote for trustee counted. To all of which said objectors excepted, and noted. That copies of notes amI proof of said claims are herewith filed as part of report. That, upon taking the vote of all creditors present in person or by attorney, all of said creditors voted for E. P. Powers for trustee, and their respective claims counted for him, less twenty per centum paid by the assignee, Taylor, as aforesaid. That said objectors all voted for S. H. McRae, Esq., as trustee. And that E. P. Powers was declared by the court selected trustee of said estate. That, If said (as alleged) Improperly admitted creditors and votes are eXcluded, said E. P. Powers is not elected trustee, but that said S. H. McRae, Esq., is elected trustee, and should be so declared. All of Which, together with eXhibits, is respectfully submitted to your honor for review. T. P. Devereux, Referee. This December 26, 1898.

This article originally appeared on RealClearPolitics.
Back in March, Mitch McConnell made a brash prediction about how Senate Republican incumbents would fare against tea party insurgents in the upcoming primary season.
"I think we are going to crush them everywhere," the minority leader told the New York Times. "I don't think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country."
At the time, McConnell's remark sounded like bluster. After all, the GOP establishment had taken a beating over the previous two election cycles as their preferred Senate candidates lost to tea party challengers (who later proved to be fatally flawed general election candidates) in Delaware, Nevada, Colorado, Indiana and Missouri.
What's more, tea party upstarts in the 2014 midterms were better funded than ever before, with such groups as the Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks adding big outside money to buttress the simmering grassroots support for anti-incumbent Republican challengers.
But with Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander's victory over state Rep. Joe Carr on Thursday, the Republican establishment secured a clean sweep in 2014 Senate primary races -- the first time since 2008 that every GOP senator seeking re-election has been re-nominated.
Several of the races that once appeared like they might turn out to be nail-biters were anything but.
McConnell's own 60 percent-35 percent dismantling of Matt Bevin in Kentucky was far easier than many had expected when that race began, while Lindsay Graham's and John Cornyn's respective 40-point triumphs of their nearest challengers in South Carolina and Texas were also surprises.
The contested races in Kansas and Mississippi, however, proved to be tougher challenges for the incumbents in question.
Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts won a less than comfortable seven-point primary victory on Tuesday, while Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran needed a runoff election and an innovative political strategy executed by top-level national GOP operatives to secure his razor-thin win over Chris McDaniel in a race that seemed to get nastier at every turn.
Though it wasn't always pretty, the Republican incumbents' collective triumph has amounted to the most consequential story of the midterm elections thus far.
True, the tea party has collected GOP establishment scalps on the House side -- most notably that of former Majority Leader Eric Cantor, whose June defeat to college professor Dave Brat was the political shocker of the year and quashed the simmering "tea party is dead" narrative.
And tea party stalwarts still have a couple of long-shot opportunities to knock off the consensus establishment picks in the upcoming Alaska and New Hampshire Senate primaries, though neither is an incumbent.
But the unbroken string of good news for the Republican establishment, which began in January when Liz Cheney ended her ill-conceived bid to take on Sen. Mike Enzi in Wyoming, has indeed been noteworthy.
Republican power brokers in Washington have every reason to be buoyed by the manner in which they have helped to steer these wins, which have boosted significantly their hopes of taking control of the Senate in November.
Democrats still can tout the strong campaigns that several of their most beleaguered incumbents have run thus far in challenging states -- from Mark Begich in Alaska to Mary Landrieu in Louisiana. But the majority party has not been granted the political gift that was bestowed on them in 2010 and 2012 in the form of disastrous tea party candidates -- including Christine O'Donnell and Todd Akin -- who squandered easy pickup opportunities.
That McDaniel has to this point declined to concede his race in Mississippi has put a fine point on how far the tea party's ambitions have fallen this election cycle.
Still, there is no evidence that the Republican establishment can rest easy in 2016 when a new slate of conservative challengers appears likely to enter the fray once again.
And even in defeat, the tea party of 2014 can take rightfully claim that it has succeeded in moving the debate in Republican circles ever further to the right than it had been.
In several cases, such as this year's Republican Senate primary in North Carolina, the "tea party" and "establishment" labels that were foisted upon the competing candidates at times appeared superfluous.
In almost every case, the GOP contenders competing for their party's nomination this year have been something akin to across-the-board conservatives.
And that in and of itself represents at least one victory for the tea party.

The Country: Austria
The Town: Kirchberg
The Activity: Skiing
The Airport: Salzburg – 90 minutes away.
Random Fact: Before you drink, toast by clinking glasses while looking the other person in the eye, if not, you will be considered rude and apparently will have seven years of bad sex.
The Experience:
Sipping fruity concoctions at a tasting tour in the Erber Schnapps Distillery in Brixen, I'm exhilarated – I survived my first day back on the slopes.
Breathtaking not only describes the scenery of the Kitzbuehler Alps, with its 170 KM of pistes, but also the feeling of zig-zagging and at moments (when losing control), of whizzing down the well-planned runs. Word of warning, the chairlifts can be tricky – I witnessed a few disaster dismounting attempts, including my own cringe-worthy moment of not hoping off, resulting in the conveyor belt being stopped – cue red face.
Having not 'clicked in' for five years, I remained within smelling distance of Sem, top instructor from Skischule Kirchberg. 'Benzee knees and lean down the mountain' he repeated daily. Continuous parallel skiing I was not, but it's good to leave with a goal for next time (at least that's what I tell myself).
With inviting pit-stops galore, you never have to ski for long before a hot chocolate or beer-indulging moment arises. The fresh, cold air and adrenaline fuels a good feed and with comforting dishes like Tiroler Gröstl – a fried egg, sautéed potatoes and bacon combo, or the pancake-inspired 'Kaiserschamarrn Omlette Rosolato' to feast on, you won't leave hungry.
It's also a good cure if the Après Ski was mighty, which is likely on this type of holiday. It's tempting to lounge about with most mountain-top eateries sporting epic views and deck chairs – even if only the face, and maybe the hands catch the rays. Keep going though and reward your effort in the evenings.
For Après Ski: Der Tiroler Bar and Eisbar are the favourites. The 'Apple Strudel' shot is a must and don't forget to play Hammerschlagen – a game where you compete to see who will be first to hammer a nail into a log first.
For Eating:
Hotel Bräuwirt – complete with a wheelchair-friendly bar.
And in nearby Kitzbühel, the fancier resort, you'll find the Casino which boasts an exceptional, tastebud-treating menu and a wine list to match. As the name suggests, gambling is possible but not without a shirt or smart dress and €27.50 gets you €30 worth of chips, the playing kind.
For Sleeping:
4 Star Style –
3 Star Style –
Kolpinghaus Apartments, Kitzbühel
Don't Pack: High heels
Do Pack: Lip balm – I suggest the Lancaster Winter Sun wind and cold protection cream & stick SPF50

Many are the tales told of the heroes of the War of the Ring, of the time when Sauron's evil was finally overturned, and his dark shadow banished from the lands of Middle-earth. Of Frodo, the Ring-bearer, and Sam his constant companion. Of the deeds of Aragorn, rightful heir to the throne of Gondor, and those who stood with him. Of Gandalf, servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Arnor, and the bringer of hope. And right it is that these tales are told, for such things should never be forgot.
Yet theirs is not the whole tale. For even as they struggled and fought, so too did all who would be free, all who would rather die than submit to evil and darkness. And had they not have done so, who is to say but that all of Aragorn's trials, all of Frodo's travails, would not have been in vain, and all undone in the end?
Wherever the Company of Nine journeyed, darkness followed after, and oft was it left to those who remained behind to face it. In Lorien, three times did Galadriel and her people of the Golden Wood repulse the forces of Dol Guldor, that dreadful fortress in Mirkwood, ancient home and bastion of Sauron, which was the source of the forest's poison. In Rohan, too, even when Saruman's forces had been routed at Helm's Deep, so there still came others after them, both man and orc, to threaten the homes and homesteads of the Riders. And surely the goblins of Moria, stirred like ants in a nest by the passing of the Company, did not then easily return to the deep, but, awoken to the darkness spreading across the land, went forth as they had so many times before, to fall upon the defences of Rivendell, and scour also the Vale of Anduin, east of the Misty Mountains.
Yet that was not all. For east of Mirkwood, where the hobbit Bilbo had once journeyed in quest to the Lonely Mountain, the men of Dale and the Dwarves of Erebor, their ancient quarrels forgot, stood side by side against the forces of Sauron, against orcs and goblins and men of the east and things worse still. For great was the might of Sauron, and many his armies to command, and those that issued forth from Mordor to fall on Gondor were but a part of their number.
This, then, is the Untold War of the Ring. And no lesser were the victories won therein, and no greater the sacrifices made, than those by Aragorn or by Boromir, by Frodo or by Theoden. So remember them, and remember them well, that the darkness they faced and overcame in their time does not come to be replaced by the dim dark of forgetting today.
A limited turn game lasting 13 turns.
Two teams of five nations battling on a restricted map with upgraded starting characters makes for an intense game.
