POL33. E&HT Anthony. William Henry Seward (May 16, 1801 – October 10, 1872) was United States Secretary of State from 1861 to 1869, and earlier served as Governor of New York and United States Senator. A determined opponent of the spread of slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War, he was a dominant figure in the Republican Party in its formative years. Although regarded as the leading contender for the party's presidential nomination in 1860, he was defeated by Abraham Lincoln. Seward was born in southeastern New York, where his father, a farmer, owned slaves. He became educated as a lawyer, moving to the Western New York town of Auburn. Seward was elected to the New York State Senate in 1830 as an Anti-Mason. Four years later, he became the Whig Party's gubernatorial nominee. Though he was not successful in that race, Seward was elected governor in 1838, winning a second two-year term in 1840. During this period, he signed several laws advancing the rights and opportunities for black residents, as well as guaranteeing fugitive slaves jury trials in the state, protecting abolitionists, and using his position to intervene in cases of free blacks enslaved in the South. After several years practicing law in Auburn, he was elected by the state legislature to the U.S. Senate in 1849. Seward's strong stances and provocative words against slavery brought him hatred in the South. He was re-elected to the Senate in 1855, and soon joined the nascent Republican Party, becoming one of its leading figures. As the 1860 presidential election cycle approached, he was regarded as the leading candidate for the Republican nomination. Several factors, including attitudes to his vocal opposition to slavery, his support for immigrants and Catholics, and his association with editor and political boss Thurlow Weed, combined to defeat him. Although devastated by his loss, he campaigned for Lincoln, who was elected, and who appointed him Secretary of State. Seward did his best to stop the southern states from seceding; once that failed, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Union cause. His firm stance against foreign intervention in the Civil War helped deter Britain and France from entering the conflict and possibly gaining the independence of the Confederate States. He was one of the targets of the 1865 assassination plot that killed Lincoln, and was seriously wounded by conspirator Lewis Powell. Seward remained loyally at his post through the presidency of Andrew Johnson, during which he achieved the Alaska purchase. His contemporary Carl Schurz described Seward as "one of those spirits who sometimes will go ahead of public opinion instead of tamely following its footprints." CDV. VG. $125

As a young man, he attended Yale University and entered the practice of law, eventually moving west where he prospered and earned a solid reputation. Haight never held public office of any kind before he was elected Governor of California on the Democratic ticket, beginning his term of office in 1867. The state debt was reduced under Haight's administration. He also ended the government subsidies that had been paid to silk and woolen manufacturers throughout the state for many years. He is credited with establishing the State Board of Health and the University of California, which had only been in the planning stages until his term of office. In 1878 Henry Haight fell ill at his office in San Francisco. He immediately went to a Russian bathhouse and it was there that he died.

Salmon Portland Chase (January 13, 1808 – May 7, 1873) was an American politician and jurist who served as the sixth Chief Justice of the United States from 1864 to 1873. During his career, Chase was the 23rd Governor of Ohio and U.S. Senator from Ohio prior to service under Abraham Lincoln as the 25th Secretary of the Treasury. As Treasury Secretary, Chase strengthened the federal government, introducing its first paper currency as well as a national bank, both during wartime. Chase articulated the "slave power conspiracy" thesis, devoting his energies to the destruction of what he considered the Slave Power—the conspiracy of Southern slave owners to seize control of the federal government and block the progress of liberty. He coined the slogan of the Free Soil Party, "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men". Chief Justice Chase presided over the Senate trial of Andrew Johnson during the President's impeachment proceedings in 1868. CDV. G. $125
POL258. CDV by Wm. Shew, San Francisco of Peter Hardeman Burnett (November 15, 1807 – May 17, 1895), politician and the first state governor of California, serving from December 20, 1849, to January 9, 1851. He was also the first California governor to resign from office. Burnett previously served briefly during December 1849 as the territorial civilian governor of California. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, but raised in rural Missouri, Burnett received no formal education, but educated himself in law and government. After owning a general store, he turned to his law career; in defending a group of Mormons — including Joseph Smith — who were accused of treason, arson and robbery. Burnett requested a change of venue for the court proceedings, and during transportation to the next venue, the defendants escaped. In 1843, Burnett became part of the exodus of Easterners moving Westward, moving his family to the Oregon Country (now modern-day Oregon) to take up farming in order to solve growing debts in Missouri, an agricultural endeavour that failed. While in the Oregon Country, Burnett began his forays into politics, getting elected to the provisional legislature between 1844 to 1848. In 1844, he completed construction of Germantown Road between the Tualatin Valley and what became Portland. It was during his time in Oregon that Burnett, a traditional Southern Protestant, began to question the practices of his faith, drifting his religious views more to Roman Catholicism. By 1846, Burnett and his family made the complete transition from Protestant to become Catholic. While in the Legislature, and later in the Provisional Supreme Court, Burnett signed Oregon's first racial exclusion laws. Upon news of the discovery of gold in Coloma, California on January 24, 1848, Burnett and his family moved south to participate in the rush. After modest success in getting gold, Burnett envisioned a career in law in San Francisco, a rapidly growing boom town thanks largely to the Gold Rush. On the way to the Bay Area, Burnett met John Augustus Sutter, Jr., son of German-born Swiss pioneer John Sutter. Selling his father's deeded lands in the near vicinity of Sutter's Fort, the younger Sutter offered Burnett a job in selling land plots for the new town of Sacramento. Over the next year, Burnett made nearly $50,000 in land sales in Sacramento, a city ideally suited due to its closeness to the Sierra Nevada and the neighboring Sacramento River's navigability for large ships. In 1849, Burnett announced his intentions to return to politics. 1849 saw the first California Constitutional Convention in Monterey, where territorial politicians drafted documents suitable to admit California as a state in the United States. During the 1849 referendum to adopt the California Constitution, Burnett, now with name recognition in Sacramento and San Francisco, and a resume that included the Oregon Provisional Legislature, decided to run for the new territory's first civilian governor, replacing the string of military governors and bureaucracy from the U.S. military. Burnett easily won the election over four other candidates, including John Sutter, and was sworn in as California's first elected civilian governor on December 20, 1849 in San Jose in front of the California State Legislature. In the first days of the Burnett Administration, the governor and the California Legislature set out to create the organs of a state government, creating state cabinet posts, archives, executive posts and departments, subdividing the state into 27 counties and appointing John C. Fremont and William M. Gwin as California's senators to the federal U.S. Senate. Despite home proclamations and bureaucratic reorganizations that recognized California now as a U.S. state, the U.S. Congress and President Zachary Taylor had in fact not even signed authorization of statehood for California. Part of this miscommunication was due to California's relative remoteness to the rest of the U.S. during the time, but also to over-enthusiastic attitudes by politicians and the public alike to get California into the Union as quickly as possible. Following long contentious debates in the U.S. Senate, California was admitted as a (non-slave) state on September 9, 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850. Californians did not learn of their official statehood until one month later, when on October 18, the steamer Oregon entered San Francisco Bay, with a banner strapped to her rigging reading "California Is Now A State." During these advancements into statehood, Governor Burnett's popularity among the State Legislature, the press and the public plummeted. Relations between the Legislature and Burnett began to immediately sour in early 1850, when bills pressing for the incorporation of Sacramento and Los Angeles as city municipalities, with Los Angeles being a special incorporation due to its earlier pueblo status during the previous Spanish and Mexican rule, passed the State Assembly and Senate. Burnett vetoed both bills, citing special incorporation bills as unconstitutional, and that reviews for municipal incorporation were best left to county courts. While the Legislature failed to override Burnett's veto of the Los Angeles bill, it did however successfully override the Sacramento bill, making Sacramento California's first incorporated city. As in Oregon, Burnett pushed for the exclusion of blacks from California, raising the ire of pro-slavery supporters who wanted to import the Southern slave system to the West Coast. His proposals were defeated in the Legislature. Similarly, Burnett also pushed for heavy taxation on foreign immigrants. An 1850 Foreign Miners Tax Act, signed into law by Burnett, required every miner of non-American origin to pay $20. In addition to these proposals and laws, Burnett also argued heavily for increased taxation and for the expansion of capital punishment to include larceny. Characterized as an aloof politician with little support from the Legislature by the San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles press, Burnett grew frustrated as his agenda ground to a halt, and his governance style increasingly criticized. He became a regular fixture of ridicule in the state's newspapers and on the floor of the Legislature. With little over a year in office, Burnett, the first governor of the state, became the first to resign, announcing his resignation in January 1851. Burnett cited personal matters for his departure. Lieutenant Governor John McDougall replaced Burnett as the Governor of California on 9 January. Peter Burnett founded the city of Oregon City in Butte County, California. One year after leaving the governorship, Burnett was finally able to repay the heavy debts he had incurred in Missouri nearly two decades before. He entered a number of careers, serving briefly as a justice in the California Supreme Court between 1857 and 1858, the Sacramento City Council, as well as becoming a San Jose-based lawyer, a noted proponent of Catholicism during the Victorian period, and then the president of the Pacific Bank of San Francisco. Although never venturing into politics much after the 1860s, Burnett was an active supporter of the federal Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. In 1880, he published an autobiography, Recollections and Opinions of an Old Pioneer. He died May 17, 1895 at the age of 87 in San Francisco, and is buried in the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery at Santa Clara, California. Peter Burnett's legacy is deeply clouded today. While regarded as one of the fathers of modern California in the state's early days, Burnett's openly racist attitudes towards blacks, Chinese, and Native Americans have blackened his name today. Burnett's period in the Oregon Provisional Legislature helped facilitate the exclusion of blacks from the state until 1926. One of his Oregon proposals was to force free blacks to leave the state, and to institute floggings, every six months, of any who continued to remain. Also, his open hostility to foreign laborers influenced a number of federal and state California legislators to push future xenophobic legislation, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act thirty years after his departure from the governorship. Burnett was also an open advocate of exterminating local California Indian tribes, a policy that continued with successive state governmental administrations for several decades, where the state offered $25 to $50 for evidence of dead Natives.
The Burnett Child Development Center, a preschool in a predominantly black San Francisco neighborhood, had been named for Burnett. However, when Burnett's racist positions were rediscovered, the school was renamed in 2011 to the Leola M. Havard Early Education School, in honor of San Francisco's first African-American principal. Similarly, the Peter H. Burnett Elementary School in Long Beach has been recently renamed, due to Burnett's views. It is now named after Bobbi Smith, the first African-American member of the Long Beach Unified School District's board. VG. $200

POL260. Salmon Portland Chase (January 13, 1808 – May 7, 1873) was an American politician and jurist who served as the sixth Chief Justice of the United States from 1864 to 1873. During his career, Chase was the 23rd Governor of Ohio and U.S. Senator from Ohio prior to service under Abraham Lincoln as the 25th Secretary of the Treasury. As Treasury Secretary, Chase strengthened the federal government, introducing its first paper currency as well as a national bank, both during wartime. Chase articulated the "slave power conspiracy" thesis, devoting his energies to the destruction of what he considered the Slave Power—the conspiracy of Southern slave owners to seize control of the federal government and block the progress of liberty. He coined the slogan of the Free Soil Party, "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men". Chief Justice Chase presided over the Senate trial of Andrew Johnson during the President's impeachment proceedings in 1868. CDV. VG. $150
POL261. Photographic negative by Brady's National Portrait Gallery, published by E&HT Anthony. Charles Sumner (January 6, 1811 – March 11, 1874) was an American politician and senator from Massachusetts. As an academic lawyer and a powerful orator, Sumner was the leader of the antislavery forces in Massachusetts and a leader of the Radical Republicans in the United States Senate during the Civil War working to destroy the Confederacy, free all the slaves, and keep on good terms with Europe. During Reconstruction, he fought to minimize the power of the ex-Confederates and guarantee equal rights to the freedmen. Sumner changed his political party several times as anti-slavery coalitions rose and fell in the 1830s and 1840s before coalescing in the 1850s as the Republican Party, the affiliation with which he became best known. He devoted his enormous energies to the destruction of what Republicans called the Slave Power, the influence of Southern slave owners over the federal government, thereby ensuring the survival and expansion of slavery. In 1856, a South Carolina Congressman, Democrat Preston Brooks, nearly killed Sumner on the Senate floor two days after Sumner delivered an intensely anti-slavery speech called "The Crime Against Kansas". In the speech, Sumner characterized the attacker's cousin, South Carolina Senator Andrew Butler, a Democrat, as a pimp for slavery. The episode played a major role in the coming of the Civil War. During the war Sumner was a leader of the Radical Republican faction that criticized President Abraham Lincoln for being too moderate on the South. One of the most learned statesmen of the era, he specialized in foreign affairs, and worked closely with Abraham Lincoln to keep the British and the French from intervening on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Sumner's expertise and energy made him a powerful chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. As the chief Radical leader in the Senate during Reconstruction, Sumner fought hard to provide equal civil and voting rights for the freedmen on the grounds that "consent of the governed" was a basic principle of American republicanism, and to block ex-Confederates from power so they would not reverse the gains made from the Union's victory in the Civil War. Sumner, teaming with House leader Thaddeus Stevens, battled Andrew Johnson's reconstruction plans and sought to impose a Radical program on the South. Although Sumner forcefully advocated the annexation of Alaska in the Senate, he was against the annexation of the Dominican Republic, then known by the name of its capital, Santo Domingo. After leading Senators to defeat President Ulysses S. Grant's Santo Domingo Treaty in 1870, Sumner broke with Grant, and denounced him in such terms that reconciliation was impossible. In 1871, President Grant and his Secretary of State Hamilton Fish retaliated; through Grant's supporters in the Senate, Sumner was deposed as head of the Foreign Relations Committee. Sumner had become convinced that Grant was a corrupt despot and that the success of Reconstruction policies called for new national leadership. Sumner bitterly opposed Grant's reelection by supporting the Liberal Republican candidate Horace Greeley in 1872 and lost his power inside the Republican Party. Less than two years later, he died in office. 2-cent revenue stamp on verso. CDV. VG. $150
POL262. Photographic negative from Brady's National Portrait Gallery, published by E&HT Anthony. Daniel Webster (January 18, 1782 – October 24, 1852) was a leading American senator and statesman during the era of the Second Party System, which was the political system in the United States from about 1828 to 1854, characterized by rapidly increasing voter interest and personal loyalty to parties. Webster was the outstanding spokesman for American nationalism with powerful oratory that made him a key Whig leader. He spoke for conservatives, and led the opposition to Democrat Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party. He was a spokesman for modernization, banking, and industry, but not for the common people who composed the base of his opponents in Jacksonian Democracy. "He was a thoroughgoing elitist, and he reveled in it," says biographer Robert Remini. During his 40 years in national politics, Webster served in the House of Representatives for eight years (representing New Hampshire and then Massachusetts) and in the Senate for 19 years (representing Massachusetts), and served as the United States Secretary of State under three presidents. One of the highest-regarded courtroom lawyers of the era, Webster shaped several key U.S. Supreme Court cases that established important constitutional precedents that bolstered the authority of the federal government. As a diplomat he is best known for negotiating the Webster-Ashburton Treaty with Great Britain; it established the definitive eastern border between the United States and Canada. Chiefly recognized for his Senate tenure, Webster was a key figure in the institution's "Golden days". Webster was the Northern member of the "Great Triumvirate", with his colleagues Henry Clay from the West (Kentucky) and John C. Calhounfrom the South (South Carolina). His "Reply to Hayne" in 1830 has been regarded as one of the greatest speeches in the senate's history. As with his fellow Whig Henry Clay, Webster wanted to see the Union preserved and civil war averted. They both worked for compromises to stave off the sectionalism that threatened war between the North and the South. Webster tried and failed three times to become President of the United States.

POL274. Cabinet Card by Roy Hume, Lima, Ohio of Calvin Stewart Brice (September 17, 1845 – December 15, 1898), a Democratic politician from Ohio. Born at Denmark in Morrow County, Brice dropped out of Miami University in 1861 to join the Union Army. After a short stint in the Army, he returned to Miami University and earned his undergraduate degree from there in 1863. After the Civil War, Brice studied law at the University of Michigan and then started a business career where he amassed a fortune, largely in railroads. In 1879, he became president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and built the Nickel Plate Road in 1882. A Democrat, Brice was the chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1889 until 1892 and won election to the Senate in 1890, serving a single term in office. Brice's first attempt to join the army in 1861 met with little success, after being turned down because of his young age. In the summer of 1862, however, Brice enlisted and served three months in the 86th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry, seeing action in West Virginia. In 1863 he returned to and graduated from Miami University and worked as a schoolmaster, before he joined the army again in 1864, this time serving as captain to a company of volunteers he recruited for the 180th Ohio Infantry. Brice rose rapidly through the ranks of the Union Army and, by the end of the war, attained the position of Lieutenant-Colonel.

POL277. Cabinet Card by C.M. Bell, Washington, DC of Walter Quintin Gresham (March 17, 1832 – May 28, 1895), an American statesman and jurist. He served as a federal judge and in the Cabinet of two presidential administrations. He affiliated with the Republican Party for most of his career but joined the Democratic Party late in life. Gresham began a legal career in Corydon, Indiana after attending the Indiana University Bloomington. He campaigned for the Republican Party in the 1856 elections and won election to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1860. He served as a Union general during the American Civil War, taking part in the Siege of Vicksburg and other major battles. After the war, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Gresham to a position on the United States District Court for the District of Indiana. Gresham remained on that court until 1883, when he resigned his position to become Postmaster General under President Chester A. Arthur. After briefly serving as Arthur's Secretary of the Treasury, Gresham accepted appointment to the United States circuit court for the Seventh Circuit. Gresham was a candidate for the presidential nomination at the 1884 Republican National Convention and the 1888 Republican National Convention. Much of his support for those nominations came from agrarian unions like the Farmers' Alliance. In the 1892 presidential election, Gresham broke with the Republican Party and advocated the election of Democrat Grover Cleveland. After Cleveland won the election, Gresham resigned from the federal bench to serve as Cleveland's Secretary of State. Gresham held that position until his death in 1895. G. $75

POL282. Cabinet Card by C.M. Bell, Washington, DC of Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan, a Republican from Kentucky who served on the court from 1877-1910. John Marshall Harlan (June 1, 1833 – October 14, 1911) was an American lawyer and politician from Kentucky who served as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Harlan was born at Harlan's Station, 5 miles west of Danville, Kentucky on Salt River Road, in 1833 to a prominent family. He attended school in Frankfortand then graduated from Centre College. Harlan entered Kentucky politics in 1851, and served in a variety of positions, most notably Attorney General of Kentucky, from 1863 to 1867. When the Civil War broke out, Harlan strongly supported the Union, although he opposed the Emancipation Proclamation and supported slavery. However, after the election of Ulysses S. Grant as President in 1868, he reversed his views and became a strong supporter of civil rights. In 1877, Harlan was appointed a member of the Supreme Court. A Christian fundamentalist, Harlan's Christian beliefs strongly shaped his views during his tenure as Supreme Court justice. He is best known for his role as the lone dissenter in the Civil Rights Cases (1883), and Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which, respectively, struck down as unconstitutional federal anti-discrimination legislation and upheld southern segregation statutes. These dissents, among others, led to his nickname of "The Great Dissenter." Harlan died in 1911, at the age of 78. VG. $65

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
15:33 28 January 2013
The government has announced on Monday their latest plans for a high-speed rail line connecting northern England to London. This marks the second phase of the plans for the HS2 rail route, which aims to see faster trains travelling between London and Manchester, as well as Leeds.
With the announcement the government also admitted that the plans may not please everyone, although they say it is the right move for the country.
The route would become the first to be built outside of London for the first time in well over a century, and the trains could be as fast as 250mph. If the link goes ahead the train journeys to the north could be made faster by 2032.
The new line, which would be a 350mile route overall, will cost £32billion and it could be seen by some as a bid to merge the north-south divide. It is thought the first phase of the plans would be completed by 2026, with the line then leading from Birmingham to the North.
Along the way five new stations would be built in places such as Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds. With the high-speed HS2 rail route, thousands of jobs would also be created.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "Linking communities and businesses across the country and shrinking the distances between our greatest cities, High Speed Rail is an engine for growth that will help to drive regional regeneration and invigorate our regional economies."
The PM added: "High Speed Rail is a catalyst that will help to secure economic prosperity across Britain, rebalance our economy and support tens of thousands of jobs."
Although the plans are not welcomed by all. Critics are concerned that the countryside would be affected as a result of the new rail line. Not only that, some people are worried about the effect the link will have on residents of towns and villages in certain areas.
The Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "You are going to upset a number of people because the route will go through their area and that will be annoying for them and you will get opposition to it."
Part one of the plans, which would link London to Birmingham, are already set to be considered by the High Court. This follows campaigners voicing their concerns, according to reports.
The plans for the new high-speed rail route look to be completed by 2015.

African-Americans receive a lower quality of care from physicians than do whites, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.
Researchers analyzed data on 150,391 office visits to 4,355 primary care physicians. Patients were both black and white Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and over. The study revealed:
- Eighty percent of black patients' visits were accounted for by only 22 percent of the physicians in the sample.
- Physicians visited by black patients were less likely to be board certified (77.4 percent) in their primary care specialty compared to white patients (86.1 percent).
- Physicians treating black patients reported they could not always provide high-quality health care to all of their patients (27.8 percent) compared to physicians treating primarily white patients (19.3 percent).
- Screening rates for diseases are lower among black patients than white patients, but previous studies have indicated that this is likely due to the qualifications of the physician, such as whether or not they are board certified in their specialty.
Moreover, physicians treating black patients reported greater difficulty in obtaining high-quality diagnostic equipment, sub-specialists and nonemergency hospital admissions.
The study also revealed that black patients generally prefer seeking care from physicians of their own race, even if other physicians are available in the area.

2010 Buick LaCrosse
The company now calls it the "mid-size global architecture." Compared to the outgoing LaCrosse, the body is 20-percent stiffer, helping to deliver a claimed "library" quiet ride. The CXS edition refines the car's ride actively with real-time damping. Different vehicle performance programs incorporate suspension calibration changes, plus alterations in throttle sensitivity and response, as well as steering feedback and feel. We'll let you know how the technology works once we get behind the wheel on the open road.
Standard features across the LaCrosse line include all the modern basics. Stripped cars with manual crank windows and no air conditioning are a thing of the past. The CXL moves up from the CX's cloth seats and 17-inch wheels by offering leather-appointed heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, outside rearview mirror with LED turn indicators and puddle lamps, and 18-inch wheels. The top-flight CXS adds (among other things) heated and cooled perforated leather seats and chrome-plated 18-inch wheels. Big 19-inch rims are optional.
Other options include in-dash navigation, power rear-window sunshade, and a DVD entertainment system, with two display screens integrated into the seatbacks.
Buick expects that the 2010 LaCrosse will maintain the outgoing models 20-star NHTSA safety rating. Major safety equipment includes six airbags, electronic stability- and traction-control system, and OnStar. Head-up display (in the windshield) is optional, as is the adaptive lighting package can direct the high-intensity discharge headlight beams up to 15 degrees for enhanced illumination of the road and its curves. LaCrosse also offers Side Blind Zone alert for those pesky drivers that hang out hidden behind the C-pillar.
So what is the 2010 Buick LaCrosse? Frankly, it's a very nice looking take on boring. But there are elements that remain unresolved … as in why did Buick engineers think it necessary to rear-bias their AWD system, or include real-time damping, or offer nearly 300 horsepower? These seem like ploys that mitigate against boredom and toward delivering dynamic performance. Hmmm, maybe Buick in 2009 is still not quite sure what it stands for after all?
See more photos of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse and stay tuned for more from the 2009 Detroit auto show this coming week. Until then, here's a video clip from GM on the new sedan:

RIB's own capitals inched slightly in 2008, from 52.57 million lei to 52.76 million lei. Once the profit plunged, the capitals became less gainful.
The financial results are calculated according to Romanian accountancy standards, the lender mentioned.
Romanian International Bank activates on the local market since 1998 and operates through 33 offices, out of which 14 in Bucharest. The lender was taken over by Daniel Kendrick Roberts in May 2002, who acquired 99.98 percent of the shares.

A: Yes. Depending on your performance in the program, you may be granted entry into a Master of Education by Research or a Master of Philosophy. However this is an option only if you complete a research project, a research methodology course and your results are at least a Distinction average.
From 2016 NSW teacher education students will need to pass a literacy and numeracy test to start their final professional experience placement.
A NSW Great Teaching, Inspired Learning (GTIL) initiative, the test will help to ensure that future teachers graduate with personal literacy and numeracy levels at least equivalent to those of the top 30 per cent of the population.
This important information from BOSTES about mandatory LANCR Literacy & Numeracy Test
Students are required to complete the LANCR Literacy & Numeracy tests before undertaking a final placement in a NSW School.
UNSW requires current students to action their registration immediately and email our School office on email@example.com to confirm the testing date you have registered so we can track and monitor registrations.
Why is there a NSW test?
In 2015 all Education Ministers agreed that, from 1 July 2016, the national Literacy and Numeracy Test will be used as the means to demonstrate that students completing initial teacher education courses are in the top 30 per cent of the Australian adult population for personal literacy and numeracy.
From 1 July 2016, it is the national policy that all initial teacher education students will be expected to sit and pass the test prior to completing their course.
The test is computer-based and designed to assess aspects of your personal literacy and numeracy through a combination of multiple choice and constructed response questions.
When will the tests run?
There will be four testing windows offered in 2016 - in May, August, October and November.
Who must sit the test?
Students due to complete their course in the second half of 2016 will have priority access to the test and will be eligible to sit the test during the first testing window in May 2016. Registrations for this window open on 7 March 2016. It is important to note that unlike the 2015 voluntary test administrations held in August and September, the total number of places will not be limited.
Where are testing centres?
Testing centres will be in all capital cities and a number of metropolitan and regional locations. Students who live more than 90 minutes from a testing centre will be able to access the test online via remote invigilation.
Is there a fee to sit the test?
Yes, To register and sit the test students will need to pay a fee. The schedule of test fees is outlined below:
Literacy and numeracy components (full test) $185
Literacy component only $92.50
Numeracy component only $92.50
For the May test window only, students will be required to sit both the literacy and the numeracy components on the same day, unless accessing a resit for a single component as a result of sitting the test in 2015. Most of the Sydney and Newcastle test centres are currently fully booked due to extremely high demand; however, remote proctoring is now available for UNSW students who are completing their program by 31 December 2016. If you meet this criterion you should choose remote proctoring in order to still register for the May test window.
If you are not completing your program by 31 December 2016, you may wait for the next test window opening.
Registration opening dates and test windows can be found at https://teacheredtest.acer.edu.au/register

Information for final year teacher education students from the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards
Changes to the Teacher Accreditation Act 2004 (formerly called the Institute of Teachers Act) passed through Parliament on 23 October 2014.
One of the key amendments to the Act is to give the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) responsibility for making the provisional and conditional accreditation decision for new applicants for accreditation to teach in NSW. This new function has effect from 5 January 2015.
This change is most significant for this year's final year teacher education students who haven't already gained provisional or conditional accreditation to teach in NSW.
The existing process of obtaining from the BOSTES a Statement of Eligibility for Accreditation to Teach and taking this to the Teacher Accreditation Authority/employer of their choice will cease. From 5 January 2015 onwards new applicants including teacher education students will need to directly apply to the BOSTES for accreditation.
The BOSTES Teacher Accreditation website will be soon be amended to direct new applicants to the online portal for applying for accreditation.
The changed arrangements do not affect this year's final year students who have already have been provisionally or conditionally accredited after applying for employment approval over the last few months.
Q: What is the Confirmation Progress Review (CONFR)?
A: If you are a new PhD student, you will need to confirm your candidature by completing a confirmation review (CONFR). This usually happens 6 to 9 months after the census date of your first semester.
Q: What is the point of a CONFR?
A: Like the Annual Progress Review, the CONFR helps you to review and measure your progress since starting your candidature, and helps you to carefully plan your research for the following year.
Q: What does the CONFR process involve?
A: A formal seminar presentation, where you present your research to academic staff and your colleagues. And a separate panel review meeting where you can meet with the review panel alone (i.e. without your supervisor).
Q: Why can't I just do a CONFR in writing instead of giving a seminar presentation?
A: The CONFR presentation, as with the annual progress review, helps you to develop your presentation skills. Presentations are an important part of your research training, and the CONFR is an ideal opportunity to practise these skills. It is a positive and productive process, where you can gain meaningful support and constructive feedback from academic staff and fellow students. The School of Education encourages you to use PowerPoint. Please remember to bring your presentation on a USB as connecting a laptop to the system often creates delays.
Q: What do I need to do before the CONFR?
A: You need to complete your review form, which will be emailed to you via the Annual Progress Review online system. Make sure your supervisor completes the review form and that your co-supervisor is given a chance to comment on it. This is the administrative process and does not constitute your review.
You also need to provide the following in writing for a CONFR:
Q: What is the point of the face-to-face panel review?
Q: What are the possible outcomes of a CONFR?
A: The panel's recommendations may be one of the following:
Q: Where can I get help?
A: While your supervisor is your primary contact for any queries regarding the content of your CONFR, both the School of Education faculty office and the Graduate Research School office can provide details on CFR policy and procedures. The following resources contain useful information:

Q: I am a postgraduate student. How do I register all of my completed subjects for maintenance of accreditation purposes with BOSTES (formerly NSWIT)?
A: You should submit proof of enrolment and successful completion of subjects and programs on an annual basis to BOSTES in accordance with their UG and PG Studies Policy Document (PDF). Please read the document carefully to properly understand you responsibilities as a student.
Q. How do I apply and how much does it cost?
A. Professional Learning Applicants
Applicants who wish to undertake any of the above courses without assessment for professional development can enrol for each course through this website – click here to enrol. Applications are due two weeks prior to course commencement, with late applications accepted as space permits. Fees for Professional Development applicants are $695 per course, payable online via cheque, credit card or invoice.
Postgraduate Coursework Applicants
Applicants for the Graduate Certificate in Education (Gifted Education) and the Master of Education (Gifted Education) must have a pre-service teaching qualification and should apply online via UNSW Admissions. 30th November 2015 is the priority deadline for Semester 1 2016 commencement. When applying, please reference the following:
Graduate Certificate in Education (Gifted Education)
Program Code – 7401
Plan – EDSTRS7401 Master of Education (Gifted Education)
Program Code – 8910
Plan – EDSTCS8910 It is recommended that students take the compulsory course EDST 5808 – Key Concepts and Issues in Gifted Education before undertaking the elective offerings. This course is offered face-to-face in the April school holidays and online in Semester 2 in 2015.
Fees for Postgraduate Applicants
Students applying for the Graduate Certificate are liable for tuition fees set by UNSW. Domestic students may be eligible to pay or defer fees through HECS and Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) are available. A CSP student can expect to pay about $770 per course for 2015. It is the applicant's responsibility to determine whether he or she qualifies for a CSP. International students and those ineligible for CSPs should refer to the UNSW fee table, noting that each course of the certificate is six (6) units of credit.
Q. What is the difference between the Professional Learning option and the Graduate Certificate?
A. With the professional learning option, you attend the face to face course just like the other students. You simply don't complete the assessments (assignments) required of other students, and you don't receive a grade for the course or a degree. You are eligible to receive NSWIT-recognised professional learning hours at Professional Competence/Proficient level—32 hours for each course completed.
Graduate Certificate students take the course as postgraduate UNSW students, receiving marks in each course and a degree at the end. In addition to attending/participating in the courses, they complete two assessments per course—written assignments of 2000-4000 words.
Q. What are the online courses like?
A. The online courses involve a combination of readings, watching recorded video of the lectures given in the face-to-face course, and participating in discussion forums with lecturers and other students. All course materials and handouts are uploaded to the online site for reference. Participants are expected to devote at least six hours per week to the course during its five weeks' duration, and those completing the course with assessment complete the written assessments on a semester-long timeframe following the five weeks of the online course.
Q. Can I do the whole certificate online?
A. Yes in 2016 you can:
EDST5808: Key Concepts and Issues in Gifted Education
EDST5803: Developing Effective Programs for Gifted Students
EDST5802: Identification of Gifted Children
EDST5807: Social and Emotional Development of Intelectually Gifted Children
See the timetables here.
Q. How long does the certificate take to complete?
A. It is possible to do the certificate in one year, planning your schedule carefully based around which courses are offered in which semester. This plan does involve some course overlap, which can be difficult for students who are working teachers.
Most participants choose to study part time, taking one course per semester. One of the face-to-face courses, EDST 5803, falls in summer semester. UNSW requires that students take at least one course per major semester (Semesters 1 and 2 ) in order to remain active in the program, or it is possible to apply for program leave of up to one year.
As you consider whether to apply for the Certificate, it is useful to consider your work and family commitments alongside the schedule of the courses, figuring in any necessity of taking leave from the program. Our courses sometimes sit somewhat strangely within the university calendar in order to allow for working teachers who are free during the school holidays to attend.
Q. Is the certificate available to international students?
A. International students may take the courses as professional learning at the same fee rate as domestic students. However, international students wishing to undertake the Graduate Certificate must apply via UNSW and are not eligible for student visas. They may study remotely (online) and come to Australia for intensive courses on tourist visas. International students are also liable for full fees.
International students applying online should select PART-TIME and REMOTE study options when prompted.
Q. Can my School sponsor me to complete the certificate?
A. Many participants make arrangements with their schools to reimburse them for their study; however, the payments for UNSW courses will be charged to the individual student who is enrolled in the courses, payable either up front or able to be deferred through HECS.
Q. If I decide to drop out midway through, what are the consequences?
A. UNSW has census dates for each semester which are the deadlines to withdraw without grade or financial penalty. If you must discontinue a course after the census date, you will be liable for the fees for that course and receive a grade for it on your official transcript. In extraordinary circumstances, special consideration may be granted to allow extensions on assignments, etc.
Q. What are the entry requirements?
A. The certificate is available to four-year-trained teachers with a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university and a recognized teaching qualification. Please see the UNSW Handbook to learn more.
Q. Can I apply the certificate to a Master of Education degree?
A. Graduate Certificate in Gifted Education students complete four of the eight courses needed to be awarded a UNSW Master of Education in Gifted Education. Students wishing to progress to the MEd (Gifted Education) are therefore only required to undertake an additional four courses: research methodology, a research project, and any two electives from the postgraduate education courses offered by the School.* Students who do not live in Sydney will be able to complete the MEd (Gifted Education) through a combination of self-directed study and intensive workshops (which involve 1-2 visits to Sydney during the school holidays).
Read more about our MEd (Gifted Education) and our other Master programs, or contact MEd (Gifted) Convenor Dr Jennifer Jolly with your specific enquiry.
* Students in the 2012 and 2013 COGE cohorts must transfer to the MEd after they have completed Course Three in order to ensure the proper credit transfer of all four courses. Students entering in 2014 and onwards may elect to continue on to the MEd at the end of the four certificate courses. In addition, students wishing to apply for advanced standing in a Master's at a university other than UNSW should contact that university to see whether they will offer credit for the full certificate.
