Mr. Brcckenridgo proceeded to quoto

face of such sublime embodiment
of Impudence. Ho commented upon
tho backwardness of tho Stnto of

soil tho blood of John M. Clayton cried

Now .lerooy ltoad.
Albany, N. Y., September 5. Iut
night, at midnight, a successful attempt
at train wrecking was made on tho New
York Central, near Greenbush. The
train, which was on its way to Montreal,
consisted of eight sleepers, which were
well filled. It was completely derailed,
butbarring tho shaking up of tho passen
gers and bruising a half dozen or so,
nothing more serious than wrecking
tho cars resulted.
A rail had been jammed into the cat
tle guards, wedged with timbers and
securely held bv fish plates. The whole
arrangement was placed in a position
to lift a train elcar off the (rack.
An investigation revealed a similar ob
struction on the south bound track, a
little way below. Evidently it was tho
intention to wreck the freight trains
soon due on both tracks, as the regular
Montreal passenger bad passed and tlio
one wrecked was an extra.
A reward of 5.000 is offered tor the
apprehension of tho miscreants.
Whitehall, N. J., September 5. A

Young Rodney, who lived with Morse
while in his employ, was gieatly sur

was gujlty. "Perhaps it was because of
a land deal I had with Morse that I
havo been arrested," said Rodney today,
"But as my dealings wero perfectly
square, nnd in view of tho fact that
Morse lias the land in his own name, I do
not see how on earth this charge could

left Portland I got a letter of recom

to depart for my old territory ns their

Referring to the tarifl the address
says: "We still adhero with firmness to

Wonderful Showing in Two
Years' Growth.
A Primitive Arcadia That Will Grow
More and More Beautiful as
Time Rolls on.
"If you will be ready to-morrow
morning at 8 o'clock I will give you a
fine ride and at tho same timo afford
you an opportunity to see some of tho
finest fig orchards in Arizona," said Mr.
II. II. Logan to a Repuiilican reporter
Thursday. Accordingly the "pencil
shover" was ready at the appointed time
and together with Mr. J. 0. Dunbar of
tho Gmctle and Mr. T. A. Jobs of tho
Herald started out with Mr. Logan yes
terday for a drive over somo of the
famous Salt River Valley lying north
west of the city. The main objective
points wero tho fruit ranches of Win.
II. and Samuel F. Bartlett, and Logan
& Adams.
The first one visited was that of Logan
& Adams located on Sec. 33, T. 3 N.
R. 2 E., nine miles from the city and
contuinine a young vineyard of eighty
acres. The vines in the vineyard are
but two years old but their growth and
crop this yeai would indicate them to be
three to four years of age. Tho ranch
is under the immediate supervision of
Mr. Taylor, and his careful work is
shown in the excellent condition in
which the ranch is kept. When the
subject of taking care of tho ,crop for
this season became one to be met Mr.
II. W. Adams, who has general control
of the linn property concluded it best
to begin the work of making raisins.
Accordingly Captain Wright, an old and
experienced raisin grower of Fresno,
California, was secured to take charge
of the work. A packing house and cur
ing house were built, trays prepared
and tho work of cutting begun. Even
this early in the Eeason tho crop Is near
ly all dried and cured and the work of
packing is now going on.
On account of the vines being to young
as they are tho raisins nre not so large
as the choicest of those from California,
but in qualityand sweetness they exceed
either tresno or Riverside. The skin is
very thin and tender, the raisins are
clear and sweet and the work shows that
raisin growing can be made even more
profitable hero than it is in California.
So much faith have the owners of this
ranch in the success and profitableness
of raisin culture that they rooted 80,000
cuttings this summer, and the coming
winter will add another eighty acres to
their vineyard, making 100 in all. Cap
tain Wright says no considers grapes
grown here of superior quality to those
of California for raisins and thnt by tho
timo the vines nre six to eight years old
they will produce the finest layer raisins
in the world
Adjoining this ranch to the west, and
embracing all of Section 32, lies the
ranch of Mr. Reuben Baxter. Mr. Bax
ter has 200 acres now under cultivation,
forty of it in alfalfa, 110 in hay and
grain, ten in promiscuous fruits and
forty in raisin grapes. His vineyard is
but five months old, but makes a most
wonderful showing. It is clear of any
weeds nnd grasses, the vines are remark
ably thrifty, and a careful inspection
shows that fully 98 per cent of the cut
tings planted lived.
Proceeding a milo further to the west
the party arrived at the ranch of Win.
II. Bartlett, which contains all of Sec
tion 30, in the same township. The
ranch is under the care and manage
ment of Mr. Hnrry W. Adams. This
ranch is one of the most beautiful and
well kept tho reporter has ever seen.
In Mr. Adams, Mr. Bartlett has an ex
cellent superintendent and tho neat and
thrifty appearance of everything shows
the skilled horticulturist." Sixty-seven
acres of this ranch aro now planted to the
White Adriatic fig, most of which are
two years old. Tiie trees show a phe
nomenal growth, the trunks being from
five to eight inches in diameter. Tiiis
year there has been picked two erops
which have been dried nnd packed and
tho trees aro now laden with a third
crop which will be ready for picking by
tho first of November.
Besides this large acreage of figs there
is a raisin vineyard containing forty
acres, and forty acres aro devoted to
promiscuous fruits. To give an idea of
what can be grown here a list of some
of tho fruits on this tract is given. They
consist of peaches, pears, plums,
prunes, apricots, nectarines, almonds,
olives, oranges, lemons, limes, guavas.
annles, pomecranates, and several
others. Besides the land already
devoted to fruits over fifty acres addi
tional are under cultivation, producing
alfalfa and grain.
On Section 4, T 2 N, K 2 E, lying
two miles south of William II. Bartlett's
ranch, lies the ranch of his brother, Mr.
Samuel F. Bartlett. This is under tho
supcrintendency of Mr. A. J. Straw,
and is nlmost a duplicate of the other
ranch. It has sixty acres in figs, sixty
in grapes, fifty in promiscuous fruits
and forty in alfalfa.
Tho Bartlett brothers aro wealthy
brokers of Chicago, and being impressed
with the Salt River Valley, purchased
land on which to build winter homes.
They believe that this is preeminently
the homo of tho fig in America, and tho
success attending their work would
seem to bear them out in that belief.
Tho White Adriatic has been pro
nounced superior to all other varieties,
and tho quality produced hero excels
those of California or Arabia. In the
last named country the figs, when
dried, nro put in lye, to eat a portion of
tho skin so as to make it tender enough
for the market. In some localities the
figs aro placed in strong brine to make
the skin tender. Figs grown here do
not require this treatment. Of such
superior quality and tenderness are
they that they aro only dipped in cold

Describes the Bar as Possessing
Ability and Has a Good Word
for the Statutes.
Chief Justice Gooding, of the Supreme
Court of Arizona, has during his short
stay in Phoenix drawn to himself the
good will of the bar of the county and
all others who have been so fortunate ns
to attain his acquaintance. He is a
lawyer of undoubted acumen and, unlike
the usually accepted idea of a learned
jourist, a gentleman of most affable
The Judge was found yesterday after
noon, resting from his labor, in an arm
chair, under the Lemon Hotel porch,
and, in the course of a friendly conver
sation with a representative of The Re
funucAN, gave expression to many cn
couraging sentiments relative to tho
Territory in which he had determined
to cast his lot.
"I have been in Arizona only a few
months," said Judge Gooding, "but
during that time have traveled over a
large extent of its surface, and can say
that it is much superior to the usual es
timate put upon it by the outside world.
The jieoplo are peaceable, yet pos
sessed ot ample push and vital
ity. The climate is all that could
be wished for a combination,
where a perfect summer may be
enjoyed on mountain plateaus only a
hundred miles from a valley possessed,
as this is, of as fine a winter climate as
can be found on the globe."
"How do you regard tho prospect
for Arizona's advancement, Judge?"
"I have been from Quebec to San
Diego and from Duluth to New Orleans,
and have carefully noted my impres
sions of each locality visited, and I do
not recall any section that promises
mnro substantial nnd nndurins nroirresa
than this part of Arizona. Development
must Ik) rapid, though it may appear
slow. Colorado was not as quick m de
velopment as has been Arizona, nnd
Denver was a mere village out a lew
years ago.
"The Territory has not been pioperly
advertised. It has, to be sure, oeen
located as the scene of most of tho fic
ticious border tales of blood and thun
der, but the real meritorious features
have lieen lost sight ot and arc out little
known. If the resources of the Terri
tory and the wealth of this valley were
but known in the East, there would Tie
no lack of the best of settlers. And
yet, just as I might say of Denver, the
progress ot a place largely depenus upon
its inhabitants. No town without
energy can go ahead, while cities havo
been made to grow in even tiie most un
inviting spots."
"Do you believe that Statehood would
be advantageous to development?"
"I do. indeed." wnrmlv responded the
Judge. "Statehood is desirable for many
reasons. Men of capital ery naturally
prefer to emigrate to a State rather than
to a Territory. Tho stronger and more
effective system of State government
claims greater respect for its laws than
does the Territorial plan. With local
self-control things are managed much
more satisfactorily at least the people
think so."
"It is to be hoped, Judge, that your
experience has been pleasant w ith the
Territorial bar and the peculiar laws
under w hich they labor."
"I am happy to find the bar composed
of an average" of very able men, who
have shown enterprise in moving from
the slower life of tiie older communities
to the bustling towns of the far West.
Men of ability are practicing before our
courts who have come from almost
every State in tho Union.
"To the diversified legal talent is per
haps due the somewhat confused state
of tho Territorial statutes. They arc
modeld, in different parts, nfter the
codes of several States, and have been
subject to frequent changes, not always
for the best. This has made the practice
of law uncertain, but things are crystal
lizing into much better shape. I think
the present code has more virtues than
it has usually been credited with, yet
there are a number of crudities that
might profitably be corrected.
"I am going to Florence tomorrow,
after which I will go to Prescottbut will
take great pleasure in returning to your
beautiful city during tho next term of
the Supreme Court in November."

Hodgkin's lymphoma: Benefit of stem cell transplantation with an unrelated donor unclear
It remains an unresolved question whether adult patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a certain type of lymph node cancer, benefit from allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) with an unrelated donor. This is due to the fact that studies are lacking that compare this therapy with autologous transplantation or conventional chemotherapy without SCT. In addition, the few studies comparing SCT with an unrelated donor versus SCT with a related donor provide neither proof nor indications of an advantage. However, it cannot be inferred from the studies that both procedures are equivalent. Nevertheless, in IQWiG's opinion, under specific conditions it is justified to offer certain patients allogeneic SCT, including transplantation with an unrelated donor. This is the result of a final report published by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) on 27 September.
Relatively rare disease
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a relatively rare malignant disease of the haemopoietic system. About 2000 people are newly affected in Germany every year. For these patients, standard treatment comprises a combination of chemo- and radiation therapy; about 80% of patients are cured in this way. However, in the remaining patients, tumour cells do not respond to treatment or patients experience a relapse after initially successful therapy. In certain cases, subsequent treatment with SCT is therefore recommended.
In this procedure, the patient's affected bone marrow is first destroyed with high-dose chemotherapy (conditioning). Stem cells of a donor are then transplanted and settle in the bone marrow. The procedure is called autologous SCT if the transplanted stem cells originate from the patients themselves. They are taken from the patient's own body before high-dose chemotherapy and then reinfused. If the transplant originates from a different donor, the procedure is called allogeneic SCT. In this context a distinction is made between related and unrelated donors.
In principle, SCT is an intervention fraught with risk, as there is quite a substantial risk of death resulting from conditioning, or of suffering other serious treatment-related complications. For example, donor cells may attack organs of the recipient (graft-versus-host disease).
Still an experimental procedure
If the Hodgkin's lymphoma recurs, professional societies first recommend autologous SCT. The chances of curing the disease with this treatment are about 50%. In patients in whom the tumour recurs even after one or several autologous transplantations, allogeneic SCT can be considered as a treatment option under certain conditions. However, this procedure is still regarded as experimental. Between 1998 and 2008, a total of 167 patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma underwent allogeneic SCT in Germany; about half of them received a transplant from an unrelated donor.
The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) commissioned IQWiG to assess allogeneic SCT with an unrelated donor. For this purpose, adult patients who underwent this procedure were to be compared with those who underwent autologous transplantation or chemotherapy without SCT. In addition, among other things, the benefits and harms were to be compared between allogeneic SCT with an unrelated donor versus allogeneic SCT with a related donor.
Studies only available for one research question
IQWiG could only find studies on the last research question. This was disappointing as the Institute had conducted a very broad literature search and had also included study types that are in principle of only limited informative value, such as registry data. Ultimately 8 studies (including 2 registry analyses) were available for the comparison between unrelated and related donors in allogeneic SCT.
It could not be clearly inferred from these studies which donor type offered the better prospects of success in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Overall the studies were rather small and of poor quality and did not contain information on many aspects. This uncertainty also applies to adverse effects and complications. It is an essential issue that the studies did not allow conclusions as to whether the two procedures are equivalent.
Inform patients about uncertain evidence base
IQWiG identified a few studies on allogeneic transplantation that could not however be included in the assessment, as the results did not distinguish between related and unrelated donors. In these studies, a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen was applied, which is nowadays standard treatment in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma who undergo allogeneic SCT. This treatment variant is less aggressive (toxic) and therefore better tolerated. These studies indicate that patients who received allogeneic SCT with a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen survived longer than patients who had been treated with chemo- and/or radiotherapy alone.
All patients in these studies had already undergone one or more unsuccessful therapy attempts (including autologous transplantation). Despite the gaps in knowledge, in IQWiG's opinion it is therefore justified to offer allogeneic transplantation with a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen to these patients, including transplantation with an unrelated donor, as other therapy alternatives are not available to them. In order to close knowledge gaps, IQWiG recommends a separate analysis of data on transplants from related and unrelated donors in all future studies and publications. This also and specifically refers to studies that include a comparison with treatment without allogeneic SCT.
In IQWiG's opinion, it is indispensable that patients are informed in full detail about the currently still uncertain evidence base before any decision for or against allogeneic transplantation is made.

Hello All.
I had my B&B booked for the Kielder 100 since last time.
Recieved an email last week saying they now wouldn't be able to put me up.
It's now looking like a good hours+ drive to get there from the few hotels that remain with vacancies.
If anyone is unable to go and have a B&B/hotel booked they need to cancel,could you please let me have first dibbs on the room?
I realise this is unlikely , but you never know.
I would camp,butI'm a tart.
And going to Harris camping the Monday after.
Knowing how i felt last year I doubt I 'd be able to take the tent down!
Yours hopefully,

Just stopping in for a quick moment.
Ah, I love to have a good laugh at KPTV's expense! It just makes my night. Tonight's mirth-maker was the story about the subway "terror plot." Kevin Coari intro'd the story, saying it was by "KPTV's Julie Banderas." The tape started. Julie Banderas was nowhere in sight. Another female reporter named Gomez was the talking head for this one. Even though she said her name, the KPTV-supplied Chyron said "Julie Banderas." Coming out of the tape, Kev said "That was Julie Banderas reporting." Gee, they don't even watch their own show!
What made this particularly amusing to me was that I've met Ms. Banderas. As I've mentioned elsewhere on this blog, I was in my home town of New York City back in June 2003. I managed to get myself on two of New York's TV news shows by pretending to be a minister who runs a church for smokers. Julie Banderas (her real last name is Bidwell; she apparently thought it would be better for her career to be "Hispanic") was the reporter for WNYW, Channel 5, the New York Fox affiliate, who interviewed me in front of City Hall and outside a bar when I attempted to convert a few patrons. Funny stuff.
I got lucky because one of the anchors at WNYW is Linda Schmidt, with whom I worked in the 80's when I was a Top 40 morning drive DJ and she was my news girl. Fortunately for me, she happened to be off the night my "church for smokers" story ran; she would have recognized me even though I haven't seen her since her wedding years ago, I suspect.
Julie Banderas/Bidwell got fired from WNYW when she was caught "simulating sex," as one of New York's tabloids put it, with her cameraman in the Channel 5 van. She was quickly hired by Fox News Channel, which gives you an idea of their jounalistic standards.
Oh heck, since I'm here, why don't I give you a few links you can follow to read about stuff you aren't going to get from KPTV?
The shit's about to hit the fan for the mayor of Spokane. Click here
The shit's about to hit the fan for the Republican Party of Ohio. Click here
Hey, remember that story about the guy who runs the porn site which has published pictures of American soldiers torturing Iraqis? Remember how I told you about it over a week ago although KPTV only got around to it tonight? Well, they still managed to screw up the story. The guy did not get arrested for the torture pictures. He got arrested for the porn (odd, since, so far as I know, it isn't illegal to put porn pictures on the Internet). Click here

The party that screams about voter fraud while getting busted for voter fraud is at it again. This time, it's a loophole Republicans have found in Nevada that will allow them to caucus in the Democratic caucus and then again in the Republican caucus days later.
Republicans are urging their fellow Republicans to take advantage of the loophole reported yesterday by Ralston Reports.
Bloomberg Politics correspondent Jennifer Epstein shared this directive from the UNR College Republicans:
Press release from UNR College Republicans suggesting members could caucus twice: pic.twitter.com/L5fnGS2JrU(Continued Below)
— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) February 19, 2016
There was also this email sent by "Nick Vander Poel, a Republican activist and former AFPer", as reported by Ralston, who noted that Nick left a rather important "not" off of this email:
Please forward to family and friends and fellow GOP caucus goers.
I was able to confirm through a former Secretary of State elections official as well as a former County Clerk. Both said and confirmed that Republicans can show up on Saturday, February 20th and register as a Democrat if you have a burning desire. Then still be eligible to participate to caucus on Tuesday for GOP candidate of choice.
What was also confirmed. The caucuses are NOT a state sanctioned election, the caucus is conducted by both parties. So this is NOT illegal and you will be arrested or fined. So put that rumor to rest.
Some call this idea silly but the reality is, with low turnout the Democrat caucus is going to close and every little bit is going to help.
Again, here are the details/loophole of how this is possible:
At this point, the email links to the Ralston Report.
It's not illegal, y'all! Wink wink!
The deal is that Republicans have already closed their registration rolls for their vote on February 23rd, whereas Democrats are allowing same day registration for their vote on February 20th.
Joe Ralston explained that he checked with the Voter Registrar, who confirmed that this is possible and here's how it would work:
So: A Republican registered by Feb. 13 could show up at a Democratic caucus site on Saturday, switch to the Democratic Party, vote and then still participate on Tuesday because the party switch would not show up on the GOP caucus rolls.
Ralston points out the obvious that Republicans would be using this to caucus for Bernie Sanders.
Republicans are urging their own party to cheat and do what basically amounts to voter fraud even though it's possibly* technically legal, all because they are too afraid to face Hillary Clinton in a general.
Democrats don't need to plan to cause chaos for Republicans, because Republicans are running what looks like a cage match meets tent revival meets circus show.
There are no good Republican candidates whom Democrats need to fear, because the only Republican who is reasonable as a possibility in a general election is Ohio Governor John Kasich, and he can't propel himself forward in the middle of the vulgar, rhetorically violent clown show that is the Republican primary.
Republicans are so desperate they're resorting to cheating, because destroying a Democrat is their only hope of winning the White House.
update: *The notion that this is possibly legal is untested and Democrats do not agree, so don't try this at home unless you want to risk violating the law.
Update 5:44 PM ET: The Nevada Democratic party is vowing to prosecute anyone who commits voter fraud. So, good luck with that Republicans.

Home Parish: St. Ignatius of Loyola Church, Spring, TX
I was born and raised in Spring, TX, and have always attended St. Ignatius Loyola. I was never involved much in any of the ministries there until junior year of high school. Until then, I was pretty involved in technical theatre at Klein High School.
My faith life was never that important the majority of my life. But, once I got involved in ministries, such as youth ministry and Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion, my faith life took off. I understood more deeply the Mass and the greatness behind the sacraments.
The call to the priesthood in my life made itself evident at a Steubenville youth conference in Alexandria, LA. I never really thought of becoming a priest until then. I wanted to go into medicine, saving people in a physical way. Little did I know I would also have the desire to save people in a spiritual sense.
Being a seminarian is a new journey with many wonderful experiences. There are many twists and turns on this journey, but there is much joy to it as well.
My favorite scripture passage is the calling of Peter out onto the water, Matthew 14:22-32. This is my favorite passage because it shows that even though the world may distract us at times and we may fall, as long as we call out, Jesus will save us.

Vin Diesel, as he is wont to do, has posted three new images from his in-production "Riddick", in which he stars as the killer ex-con turned savior of humanity turned dude on a planet being hunted by bigger dudes with guns. One of those dudes is a dudette, played by "Battlestar Galactica's" Katee Sackhoff (playing a merc name Dahl), and she leads the new series of images Diesel has posted via his 31 million strong Facebook page.
And what's this? A creature of the night, perhaps? Looks like bloodthirsty mercs aren't the only things Riddick will have to contend with in the franchise's third entry:
And of course, a "Riddick" update wouldn't be complete without one of the man himself.
"Riddick" also co-stars Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk, and Keri Hilson, and is due out sometime in 2013. David Twohy returns to direct for the third time 'round.

Irma Mayorga will have no problem navigating the College of Saint Benedict campus in a few days.
She is, after all, a 1988 graduate of CSB. And, Mayorga was honored with a President's Award from CSB in 2013 as part of the college's centennial celebration.
Mayorga, an assistant professor of theater at Dartmouth College who is also a director, playwright and dramaturge, will be in residence March 17-21 and will present a lecture and book reading at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, in room 204C, Gorecki Dining and Conference Center. A reception follows the lecture.
It is one of several events the CSB and SJU Theater Department is presenting in honor of CSB's centennial.
Mayorga's presentation will feature her book, "The Panza Monologues, Second Edition," and will include video excerpts from "The Panza Monologues," a one-person play, which Mayorga directed for performance and co-wrote with Virginia Grise.
"The Panza Monologues" has been compared to "The Vagina Monologues" as each are a collection of short performances based on interviews and stories of women, according to Ms. Magazine. However, "The Panza Monologues" is about panzas - the Spanish word for belly.
The play focuses on the lives of Latina women, putting the panza "front and center as a symbol that reveals the lurking truths about women's thoughts, lives, loves, abuses and lived conditions," the magazine wrote. It explores the connections between bodies, culture and politics from a Latina feminist perspective.
"Coming back to CSB to converse with my very accomplished peers, share my recent work and help recognize the arts during the CSB centennial year via the theater department is edifying and thrilling," Mayorga said. "Receiving one of the CSB President's Awards this past June was humbling and edifying.
"But now, I have the opportunity to share my work, work with current students and offer my gratitude for the tremendous impact the CSB Theater Department had on my development as a theater artist. Coming back to the BAC is coming home in so many senses," Mayorga said.
A native of San Antonio, Texas, Mayorga received a bachelor of arts degree in theater from CSB. Mayorga received a master's in costume design (with an emphasis on set design) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a joint doctorate in drama and the humanities from Stanford University. She holds the distinction of earning the first Ph.D. by a Latina/o in Stanford Drama Department's history.
In addition to her formal presentation, Mayorga will take part in several other events while on campus.

Senator Daylin Leach
Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery/Delaware) was born in Philadelphia in 1961. He attended Temple University, where he graduated with a degree in political science, and earned a law degree from the University of Houston Law Center in 1983. After law school, Daylin moved back to southeast Pennsylvania where he practiced law for 17 years focusing on general litigation. Daylin also taught constitutional law, legal ethics and First Amendment law as an adjunct professor at Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg colleges.
Daylin had an early interest in public service, volunteering on his first campaign when he was 12. He later served as president of the Pennsylvania Young Democrats, as a member on the Allentown Zoning Board and co-hosted a weekly political debate show.
First elected to the General Assembly in the fall of 2002, Daylin has focused on environmental protection, education, health care and political reform. Notable accomplishments include his measures signed into law that introduce hybrid cars into the state fleet and provide, for the first time, state funds for breast and ovarian cancer screening for low-income women. He also championed legislative redistricting reform to end the practice of gerrymandering and introduced legislation requiring that hospitals offer emergency contraception to the victims of sexual assault.
After his election into the Pennsylvania Senate in 2008, Daylin was honored to be named minority chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He also serves as a member on the Communications and Technology, Education, Environmental Resources and Energy, Finance, Intergovernmental Operations and Policy committees.
As a legislator, Daylin has made a point to continue his education in public service. He won a full scholarship to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government Executive Training Program and was awarded the prestigious Flemming Fellowship by the Center for Policy Alternatives.
Locally, Daylin is on the Board of the Bryn Mawr Film Institute and is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Lower Merion Conservancy and the Philadelphia World Affairs Counsel. He attends Main Line Reform Synagogue and is married to Jennifer Anne Mirak, a psychologist and has two children, Brennan and Justin.
In 2008, Daylin was awarded the Humane Society's Humane Legislator Award, and since then has received the 2011 Legislative Leadership Award by GVF Transportation and the 2011 Friend of Education Award by the Lower Merion Education Association. He was appointed to the PA Commission on Sentencing in May 2011.

The best way for third world villagers to tap "the vast pipeline of wealth from the developed world" is to sell their products to the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, says Michael Strong, the head of Flow, a nonprofit group promoting entrepreneurship abroad.
In a recent TCSdaily.com article, Strong challenged anyone to name an organization that is doing more to alleviate third world poverty than Wal-Mart. So far he's gotten a lot of angry responses from Wal-Mart's critics, but nobody has come up with a convincing nomination for a more effective antipoverty organization. And certainly none that saves money for Americans at the same time it's helping foreigners.
Making toys or shoes for Wal-Mart in a Chinese or Latin American factory may sound like hell to American college students -- and some factories should treat their workers much better, as Strong readily concedes. But there are good reasons that villagers will move hundreds of miles for a job, says Strong:
- Most "sweatshop" jobs -- even ones paying just $2 per day -- provide enough to lift a worker above the poverty level, and often far above it, according to a study of 10 Asian and Latin American countries by Benjamin Powell and David Skarbek.
- In Honduras, the economists note, the average apparel worker makes $13 a day, while nearly half the population makes less than $2 a day.
Some villagers prefer to keep farming or to run small local businesses, and they're lucky to get loans from the Grameen Bank -- winner of this year's Nobel prize -- and its many emulators. But other villagers would prefer to make more money by working in a factory. If you want to help them, says Strong, then "act locally, think globally: shop Wal-Mart."

text: So I have put around 1500 miles on my fidanza 2.1 clutch and all I can say is it is way better then stock. It holds the power great, similar stock pedal feel and does not really chatter except for reverse. In reverse it begins out fine and then starts to chatter after a few seconds of being semi-slipped, you know feels like the clutch is trying to grab but its not fully engaged so it slips at the same time, making my car shake. I also get a slight burn smell when I reverse if I don't let the clutch fully engage. Am I doing any damage to my drive train or does chatter come about when you have a racing clutch ? Thanks

I'm calling hoax. The gold "facts" are the biggest issue for me:
My noble friend Lord Strathclyde came up with a very different argument. He said that this cannot be right because these people said at the meeting with him that they were still effectively on the gold standard from back in the 1920s and that their entire currency holdings throughout the world, which were very large, were backed by bullion. My noble friend Lord Strathclyde came back and said to me that he had an analyst working on it and that this had to be stuff and nonsense. He said that they had come up with a figure for the amount of bullion that would be needed to cover their currency reserves, as claimed, which would be more than the entire value of bullion that had ever been mined in the history of the world

Sorry, missed your post. Just to elaborate on my statement that a 916 would makes things dull, well I was refering to less technical stuff. The bike steam rollers most trail obstacles and soaks up smaller jumps and drops in its stride. It's a very capable machine. Also, with 160mm of travel it insulates you from whats going on a lot of the time. Throw it into a bermed corner and you don't feel very much other than plush suspension at work.
I've ridden the carbon zestys too, to answer your question. For my money I'd rather have it than the spicy, whilst the spicy climbs really well, pedals really well, and as I've said, is a pretty good bike, I just think unless you live near something like several DH tracks and will regularly be pedalling up before shredding down, it'd be surplus to most requirements. Also, with wheels and especially tires capable of taking a serious dh hammering, the bike would be severely hampered for trail riding. So your into the faff of changing wheels and or tyres depending on what your doing.
With the zesty, it's climbs even better than the spicy, but doesn't flatter you or wrap you in cotton wool on the more technical stuff. It's still capable of rough stuff but is just a bit more involving. Also, I'd be more inclined not to mess around with wheels and tyres...just run higher pressures and finesse the bike on technical descents. Accepting it for what it is. I hope that makes sense.
Having said all that, I'm still not a massive fan of Lapierre.

New Delhi, Nov 20 (IANS) The government has approved conditionally 12 licences for industrialist Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group in the defence and related sectors, spanning areas like aircraft, choppers, missiles, night vision equipment, and naval and land systems.
According to the list put up by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion on Friday, these are part of the 32 approvals extended during the meeting of the licensing committee held on November 6 this year.
Other projects include those of Ideal Industrial Explosives, Comvia Systems, Continental Defence, OIL Advance Technology, Shan Arms, Ananth Technologies, Kuber Products, C Det Explosives, Ideal Detonators, Beejasan Explotech and Naistoco India.
In the case of Reliance Group, all the projects are slotted for Gujarat. The approvals are for eight subsidiaries of Reliance Defence, a part of Reliance Infrastructure, covering greenfield projects of the armed Forces under the "Make in India" programme.
Anil Ambani told shareholders recently that defence manufacturing and smart cities will be the future drivers of growth for the company, and that the major acquisition of Pipavav Defence will be concluded in the current year.
Apart from these projects, the Maharashtra government has allotted 289 acres of land near Nagpur for the group's upcoming aerospace park that entails an investment of over $1 billion.
Reliance Defence has 11 subsidiaries in niche segments of the sector. It is pursuing partnerships with several leading international companies, besides looking at stakes in some existing firms in the country and outside to meet home-grown solutions for the sector.
It is also acquiring Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering with 18 percent of promoters' stake, along with an open offer for another 26 percent of the share capital.

Domestic Affairs
In September 2000 Australia staged its second Olympic Games of the modern era (and its first since Melbourne played host in 1956) in Sydney. In the Olympic torch relay, which preceded the Games for several weeks, the Olympic flame was carried around Australia from Uluru to Sydney, even spending three minutes underwater along the Great Barrier Reef. The heroic images of runner Cathy Freeman holding aloft the Olympic flame and the overwhelming success of Australian athletes at the Games blotted out the initial public disappointment with the performance of the Australian members of the International Olympic Committee and the administrative skills of those responsible for organizing the Games.
Despite Prime Minister John Howard's attempts to implement what he called "practical reconciliation" in the face of expected Aboriginal protests during the 2000 Olympics, Aboriginal issues often took centre stage throughout the year. In the lead-up to the Games, several events signaled the importance of Aboriginal questions in the minds of Australians. In May a "walk for reconciliation" across Sydney Harbour Bridge was overwhelmingly successful in demonstrating a groundswell of support for an apology to Aboriginals for past injustices. The scheduled events, however, emphasized the irreconcilable differences between Aboriginals and Howard, who refused to walk across the bridge or to issue the desired apology. On the eve of the Olympics, Aboriginal activist Charles Perkins, the commissioner for sport for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, promised that there would be large Aboriginal protests during the Games. Freeman, a gold medal winner and Australia's most high-profile Aboriginal Olympic athlete, added fuel to the fire by complaining in the London press before the Games that the federal government had been insensitive in its treatment of "the stolen generation," the name given to the numerous Aboriginal children taken from their parents and forcibly assimilated as recently as the 1960s. In the event, the Olympics were a huge success, serious protests failed to materialize, and the popular support for Freeman signaled a possible easing of racial tensions. Less than three weeks after the Olympics, Perkins died and was accorded a state funeral, including an official wake at the Sydney Opera House. (See Obituaries.)
The Games did have the effect of diverting criticism away from the government's handling of illegal immigrants. A small group, mostly from Afghanistan and Iraq, proved a continual headache for Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock. In June about 500 illegal immigrants escaped from the Woomera detention centre in South Australia, made their way to the town centre, and chanted that the conditions in the detention centre and the delays in processing their applications for temporary asylum were unacceptable. Ruddock released videos to Australian embassies for distribution overseas. The videos showed shark attacks, snakes, and crocodiles. Ruddock defended the video, commenting, "If you come in a boat and land at Cape York and think you're going to land in a place which is hospitable, you may well find that you could be taken by a crocodile!" In August about 80 illegal immigrants held at the Woomera Centre rioted. They destroyed buildings, and water cannons and tear gas were used to stop the turmoil.
The Economy
In 2000 the Australian economy continued to improve despite record high prices for fuel and a very weak currency. The Australian newspaper commented that the weakness of the Australian dollar in spite of a strong domestic economy was "baffling." There was strong economic growth; inflation remained low; and unemployment became less of a problem for policy makers. The trend line in unemployment as measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics midyear was 6.5%. A similar trend line for gross domestic product ran at 4.4%, while inflation in June stood at 3.2%.
In May Treasurer Peter Costello introduced a national budget for the coming year that was based on a surplus of $A 2.8 billion ($A 1 = about U.S. $0.58 in midyear 2000). The surplus, which was derived from the expected sale of mobile phone airspace, allowed Costello to drop the $A 900 million Timor Tax even before it was implemented. The Timor Tax was due to be paid by Australians earning $A 50,000 or more to defray the $A 1 billion cost of Australia's military commitment to East Timor. Funding to indigenous Australians was increased to a record $A 2.3 billion to be spent on health care, housing, education, and unemployment compensation. The government also prepared for possible legal liabilities over native title claims for damages. The government spent a modest $A 52.1 million to build detention centres for illegal immigrants and spent more for added immigration officers in the Middle East and Asia. It decided to tackle the problem of Afghan and Iraqi refugees by providing resettlement funds to allow people to remain in key transit countries en route to Australia.
The major change to the Australian economy was the introduction of a goods and services tax (GST) on July 1. Set at 10% and not applied to certain foods, the GST was offset by the abolition of a range of wholesale sales taxes. In the months leading up to the introduction of the new tax, public opinion turned against the government. Amendments to the legislation resulted in exemptions' being given to particular groups and interests. Unperturbed, Howard declared that the new tax was good for Australia and fundamentally fair. Pre-GST activity saw what was called "a frenzy of spending," particularly in the construction industry.
Farmers in the state of New South Wales bemoaned the wettest November on record, as their fields were inundated with muddy floodwaters from 13 rivers that had burst their banks. Also washed away in the floodwaters were livestock and the hopes of farmers who had battled five years of agricultural woes, including droughts, floods, crop disease, and low prices. The estimated damage to crops was $A 500 million. Associated rural businesses that depended on farmers for their livelihoods also suffered losses.
Foreign Affairs
Regional instability caused major problems for Australian foreign-policy makers. The financial cost of deployment in East Timor led to caution about possible involvement in expensive military operations when Fiji and the Solomon Islands suffered breakdowns of law and order. In a wide-ranging reassessment of Australia's global strategic position, the government decided to spend more on defense. During July and August there were 28 public meetings, at which taxpayers were invited to present their views on plans to reequip the aging fleet of F-111 bombers and F/A-18 fighter aircraft and to outfit future warships to replace guided-missile frigates due to end their useful life in 2013.
Normalization of relations with India was extended following Howard's visit to that country in July. During a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Howard noted that Australia and India both shared concern about the Fiji crisis and the arbitrary removal of Fijian Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry from office. Howard also agreed to resume defense cooperation with India and to exchange defense attachés, withdrawn in the aftermath of India's 1998 nuclear tests.
Stressing his commitment to the monarchy and Australian loyalty to the British crown, Howard visited the U.K. in July on a trip to celebrate the centenary of the British government's decision to grant the Australian colonies the right to amalgamate to form the federated Commonwealth of Australia. Accompanied by four former Australian prime ministers, Howard received considerable criticism from home for wasting taxpayers' money on the journey just at the time when a new taxation system was being implemented. Matters were made worse when British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the House of Commons confused Australian soldiers with American servicemen during his speech of welcome to Howard.
Australia reacted defensively against criticism from the UN human rights committees. The government took a tough response to the UN, saying that unless it desisted from its unwarranted comments on Australia, Canberra would consider cutting ties with the whole UN treaty committee system. The government's stand was supported by Denis Burke, the Northern Territory chief minister, who had been in the firing line because of the Northern Territory's mandatory sentencing regime.

Festival of the Nativities
When: Noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays until Dec. 18
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15
Where: Centenary United Methodist Church, 245 N. Fourth St.
The North Lawrence community is also invited to a soup supper from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 12.
Each one has a story. This one is especially heavy on symbolism.
In this one, unlike most, if not all, the others, it's Joseph holding the baby. He has an excited but serene look while the mother, Mary, looks on, anxious but happy, just like when the artist's son was born. Around them stand angels with gifts of light, love and peace. Wise men represent the stages — and burdens — of human life.
Chris Jump tells the story of this nativity scene from the upstairs room of Centenary United Methodist Church, 245 N. Fourth St. It's the 17th year the church has held the fundraising event, and this scene is just one of the more than 350 sets on display.
Jump, who has been working with other church members on the display since just after Halloween, said that, other than this one, her favorites are the nativities from other countries.
"They represent individual cultures and the way they've seen God in their image," she said.
She said people come by the event as a quiet, reflective way to begin their Christmas season.
But she's seen plenty of visitors from outside the Christian tradition who "come even just for the art of it."
Event founder Nancy Atchley agreed that it was the varieties of the nativities — some of which are small, some big, some wood, or porcelain or cloth — that made their church's event special as well as a good reminder of the religious meaning to the hectic season.
"We hope they're impressed by it," she said of community members who come through. "We hope to go for the 'wow' factor."
The display runs weekends until Dec. 18.
