- Governor William Clark and discusses the three individuals named William Clark"
the oldest brother of the children of John Clark and Ann Rogers, was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, August 1, 1750 (old style).
He received a fair English education, and, in time, became a lawyer, and a successful man of business. He was the prudent, practical business man of the elder portion of the numerous children of John Clark, as his brother William was of the younger.
When quite young he spent some time in the office of the clerk of Spottsylvania county, Virginia, as deputy clerk, in which capacity he added much to his stock of information about practical affairs.
In 1772 he removed to Woodstock, in the county then called Dunmore, but which was afterwards changed to Shenandoah, and was very soon taken into public favor by being selected, with the celebrated Peter Muhlenberg, to serve as delegate from the county in an important convention held at Richmond in the interests of the colonies.
About this time trouble began between the patriotic citizens of Virginia, and the royal governor, Lord Dunmore, which culminated in the latter seizing the public powder belonging to the colony without authority. This led to an uprising of the sturdy colonists to regain possession of the powder, by force if necessary, and young Clark marched towards Williamsburgh, the then capital, as lieutenant of an independent company of riflemen for that purpose.
Clark's company returned home, however, without bloodshed, and he and Muhlenberg were again sent as delegates to the convention which met at Richmond in December, 1775.
In the spring of 1776, Clark was promoted to the captaincy of a company (commissioned March 4), which advanced from Woodstock to Portsmouth, and was engaged in several skirmishes with the adherents of the royal governor, Dunmore, who, in the meantime, had fled the capital and taken refuge on an English ship.
Early in the following summer, Clark marched with Muhlenberg's regiment and other troops to Charleston, South Carolina, at which place they arrived on the 24th of June, and were at once involved in the important military movements then going on at that place and vicinity. He continued there until in August when he was ordered further south, and at Savannah was seized with dangerous illness which so prostrated him that, for a long time, he was unable to perform military service, and returned home on furlough in the autumn of that year. When about recovered from this long protracted sickness in the spring of 1777, he had the misfortune to be taken down with the small-pox, which again disabled him for a considerable period.
As soon as his health permitted, he returned to the army under Washington, then at Bound Brook encampment, and with the Eighth Virginia Regiment, in the brigade of General Charles Scott, participated in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, and aided in breaking the British right wing in the latter battle.
He was also in the battle of Monmouth in 1778, and in 1779 served with great distinction in the surprise of the enemy at Paulus Hook, on which important occasion he was second in command, having been previously promoted to be a major by congress.
One hundred and fifty-nine of the enemy were captured in this affair, with a loss to the Americans of only two killed and three wounded. So important was the result that General Washington hastened to communicate it to congress in a manner highly complimentary. He said "that a remarkable degree of prudence, address, enterprise and bravery was displayed on the occasion, which does the highest honor to all the officers and men engaged in it, and that the situation of the fort rendered the attempt critical and the success brilliant." Congress returned thanks and ordered a gold medal to be made in honor of the event, and fifteen thousand dollars to be distributed among the rank and file who participated in the enterprise.
Major Clark was highly complimented in letters from Lord Sterling and other officers, and in November following congress promoted him to be a lieutenant-colonel, to date from the previous May.
In the following winter Clark and the Virginia regiment to which he belonged, together with other troops, marched through terrible hardships to the south, reaching Charleston in the last of March, 1780, where they encountered still further trials and sufferings, until finally, on the 12th of May, the American army, then under command of General Lincoln, was compelled to surrender to the enemy. Colonel Clark was held a prisoner in Charleston until the spring of 1781, when he was paroled and returned to Virginia, but he was not formally exchanged until after the surrender of Cornwallis.
Abraham Bowman was the colonel of the eighth Virginia regiment of which Clark was the lieutenant-colonel, and he was also the first cousin of an attractive young lady residing in Frederick county, Virginia, named Sarah Hite. She was the daughter of Isaac Hite, Sr., and granddaughter of Jost Hite, and her brother Isaac Hite, Jr., was likewise a major in the Revolutionary army.
The friendship existing between the two comrades-in-arms led to an acquaintance between Colonel Clark and Miss Hite, which resulted in their marriage February 13, 1782. He settled for a time in Spottsylvania county, and was commissioned a major-general of the Virginia militia in 1793.
But his thoughts now turned to the great west, and in 1802 he joined his distinguished brother, George Rogers Clark at the falls of the Ohio, settling finally at Trough Spring, near Louisville. Here he devoted himself to business with great success, accumulating a large fortune in real estate as well as personal property. The inventory of the latter, returned by Abraham Hite, his wife's cousin, and John H. Clark, his son, his administrators, covers eleven pages of book of inventories No. 2, Jefferson county, Kentucky. A glance over the long list shows that fifty-six of his slaves were mentioned by name. The following notice of General Jonathan Clark's death appeared in the Western Sun, published at Vincennes, December 14, 1811: "Another Revolutionary hero is gone--Died at his seat near Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday, the 25th ult. (November, 1811), General Jonathan Clark--He supped with his family on the 24th, retired at his accustomed hour to rest, and in the morning was found numbered with the dead."
The marriage of Jonathan Clark and Sarah Hite was a happy one in every respect. She was the younger by some eight years and survived him about that time. They are resting side by side in Cave Hill Cemetery, and the family monument and the inscriptions thereon have already been described in a previous chapter. A list of their descendants was kindly furnished by one of them, Miss Ann J. Bodley, of Louisville, Kentucky, will be found near the close of the appendix.
The following is an extract from an interesting notice of the death of General Jonathan Clark, which appeared in a leading newspaper of that time:
REPOSITORY of DEATH
At his seat, on Monday, the 25th ult. (November, 1811), General Jonathan Clark, aged sixty-one--one of the heroes who participated in the dangers of his country in those days when she struggled for her birthright amongst the nations of the earth. He supped with his family on the evening of the 24th, retired at his accustomed hour to rest, and in the morning was found numbered with the dead. His death may be considered as truly enviable, for it was free from every species of pain or those agonizing feelings that so often attend the last hours of our existence. (Here follows a brief narrative of the leading events in his life, which are omitted, as they have already been given.)
On the religious character of General Clark it will not be necessary to enlarge. The principles of piety and virtue were early instilled by a strict education; nor do they appear ever to have lost their influence upon the general conduct of his life. He was too great a lover of truth not to make religion the object of his serious inquiry. The result of his investigation was a full conviction of the divine origin of the Gospel, and the nature of it to be such as demanded his warmest acceptance. In his person he was tall and well-proportioned; in his manners easy, uniform and engaging, and in his conversation, oftentimes, sprightly - always agreeable.
Thus has a fond wife been bereft of an affectionate and loving husband, children of a tender father, and society of a valuable member.
December 6, 1811.
A pleasing form, a generous, gentle heart;
A good companion, honest without art;
Just in his dealings, faithful to his friend,
Belov'd through life, lamented in the end.
Reader attend, and copy if you can
The noblest work of God--an honest man.
Whose portrait will be found in the frontispiece to this chapter, was the eldest sister of General George Rogers Clark. She was born in Virginia and became the wife of Owen Gwathmey in about the eighteenth year of her age. He was for a short time a soldier in the Revolutionary War, but removed west soon after and settled at, or near, Louisville, where he became a successful business man. They raised a large family of children, and among their descendants will be found the names of several persons of distinction. It is notable that three of their children, viz., John, Samuel and Ann, married three of the children of Colonel William Aylett Booth and his wife, Rebecca Hite, viz.: Ann, Mary and William. The mother was a sister of General Jonathan Clark's wife.
Samuel Gwathmey, the husband of Mary Booth, was one of the trustees who laid off the town of Jeffersonville in 1802, and was long a resident of that place, and intimately connected with early Indiana history. He was appointed clerk of Clark county, Indiana territory, in 1801 and treasurer in 1802. He was a member of the first legislative council of Indiana territory, and further mention will be made of him in that connection. He held a number of offices, and on one occasion, at least, held two at the same time, which caused a curious question to arise, as to whether he could properly be the custodian of his own bond. He referred the matter to General John Gibson, the secretary of the territory, in an interesting letter, now before the author, and its tone clearly shows the nice sense of honor and propriety of the man.
He was an Episcopalian in religion, a man of high character, fine business qualifications, and was long the president of a bank in Louisville. He was the first register of the land office at Jeffersonville, and held it until he was removed by General Jackson for political reasons. He was the owner of slaves in Indiana during the territorial period. He had five children, Marie, William, Balor H., Rebecca and Mary Eliza. Rebecca became the wife of Henry Tyler and mother of Henry S. Tyler, at present mayor of Louisville (1895). Samuel Gwathmey died in 1850, in the seventy-second year of his age.
John Gwathmey, the other son, was also a man of fine business qualifications and the author has in his possession many of his letters, some of them of historic interest in relation to early events about the falls, and especially about Jeffersonville and other parts of Clark's Grant.
The son of John Clark and Ann Rogers, was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, September 15, 1757, and when his eldest brother vacated his position of deputy clerk of Dunmore county, in 1776, John was given the place. He was then quite young, but had already been assisting his brother in the office for some time and was familiar with the duties.
He left the position, however, in august, 1777, when he was appointed a lieutenant in the Fourth Virginia Regiment. The next month after Lieutenant Clark entered the service he participated in the battle of Brandywine, and in the next month after that was in the battle of Germantown, so that it was warm work for him from the beginning. In the latter battle the division of the army to which he belonged broke the British right wing and captured a considerable number of prisoners, but subsequently was forced to retreat; and, being surrounded, a portion was in turn captured, including Lieutenant Clark, Colonel George Mathews and other Virginians. This Colonel Mathews is the same person mentioned in the fac-simile letter of Mr. Jefferson given in Chapter XIV. The capture proved a sad affair, indeed, to Lieutenant Clark, as he was kept a prisoner a long time and subjected to such neglect and harsh treatment that it brought on a disease which occasioned his death. He was held as a prisoner at first in Philadelphia, then in possession of the British, and for a time was kept in what was called the "New Jail." In the summer of 1778 he was removed to Long Island and kept there, or in the neighborhood, several years, and finally was confined in one of those loathsome prison-ships, which, to the disgrace of the British authorities, caused the death of an immense number of American prisoners by barbarous treatment, as shown in Chapter XIV. Poor Clark was one of the victims, and, although he did not die in the prison, yet when he was at last exchanged in 1782, he returned to his father's home in Caroline county, Virginia, a physical wreck from consumption, brought on by the treatment he had received while a prisoner. In the hope of averting the terrible disease he went to the West Indies, but it was in vain, as he was too far gone for anything to save him. He came back without material improvement, and his relatives and friends, with great grief, saw him gradually waste away, until he died at his father's house in 1784, in the twenty-seventh year of his age. The death, under such circumstances, of this bright and promising young man, not only occasioned much sorrow in the community, but greatly added to the indignation felt at the time towards the British for their cruel treatment of American prisoners.
Joined his brother George Rogers Clark at Kaskaskia in March, 1779. He was then in his nineteenth year, having been born in Caroline county, Virginia, in 1760. He served for a short time as a volunteer in Captain Robert Todd's company and was commissioned a lieutenant in June, 1779. He was one of the party that marched to the relief of Cahokia, in 1780, and also was in the campaign against the Indians about Peoria. He was stationed for some time at Fort Jefferson, but went to the falls of the Ohio in the summer of 1781, and the next year was with his brother in the campaign against the Indians. Lieutenant Richard Clark was allotted two thousand one hundred and fifty-six acres of land in Clark's Grant, Indiana, for his services in the Illinois campaign, being Nos. 15, 18, 191, 274 and part 160.
He lost his life in March, 1784, probably on Indiana soil. He started to make a journey on horse-back from the falls of the Ohio to Vincennes or possibly Kaskaskia. The strange part of the story is that he undertook this long and dangerous journey alone. There is but little wonder that he lost his life in the effort. The particulars are not known, but the probabilities are that he was drowned in trying to cross some stream. His horse, saddle-bags and some other things were found on the bank of the White river which is pretty clear evidence that he was not killed by the Indians as they would have taken the horse. The family long entertained the hope that he might not be dead, and the mystery and uncertainty added greatly to their distress. There is another tradition which names the Little Wabash as the river where his horse was found, but this is not probable as it is not likely he was aiming to go further than Vincennes.
Who is buried by the side of his distinguished brothers, General George Rogers Clark and General Jonathan Clark, in the Cave Hill Cemetery at Louisville, was born in Virginia, September 25, 1762. At the time that state was exerting every energy to raise troops for the relief of Charleston, Edmund Clark, then under eighteen years of age and at school, was appointed a lieutenant in the Eighth Virginia Regiment of the continental army. This was the celebrated German regiment raised by Colonel Muhlenberg, and after his promotion to be a general it was commanded by Colonel Abraham Bowman, a brother of Joseph and Isaac Bowman, who were prominent officers in George Rogers Clark's Illinois campaign. The Eighth Virginia was distinguished in the war, but the extent of young Edmund Clark's participation is not clearly known. It is said that he was held a prisoner by the British for a time, and that he was not exchanged until the close of 1782. When the war was over he returned to Caroline, his native county in Virginia, and engaged in business for several years. He was tendered a commission as captain in January, 1799, by President Adams, at the time some trouble was expected with France and served for some time, but it was found not to be as serious as was anticipated, and the troops were disbanded. He emigrated to Jefferson county, Kentucky, soon after this, where he remained with his many relatives already there, until his death, on the 11th of March, 1815. Like his brother George, he never married.
The inventory of the personal property of Captain Edmund Clark was filed May 8, 1815, in Jefferson county, Kentucky, by D. Fitzhugh, administrator of his estate, and was appraised at a total of $2,641.25. Book 2, pp. 136,137.
Lucy Clark, whose portrait will be found in the frontispiece to this chapter, was the second daughter of John and Ann Rogers Clark, and was born in Caroline county, Virginia, September 15, 1767. She was the wife of William Croghan, who came to America from Ireland when quite young. He was the nephew of the celebrated George Croghan, who was long in the employ of the British as Indian agent under Sir William Johnson. Like his uncle, William Croghan took sides with the Americans and joined, with a company, the army of Washington, in the region of Pittsburgh. He was assigned to Colonel Weedon's Virginia regiment, shortly after the battle of Long Island, and continued in active service for years.
He was promoted to be a major in 1778, and was assigned to Colonel John Neville's Fourth Virginia Regiment and participated in the battle of Monmouth. He marched with the Virginia troops to Charleston, South Carolina, where the whole American army at that place was compelled to surrender to the enemy. In 1781 he was paroled and returned to Virginia, in company with his friend, Colonel Jonathan Clark, and for a time was the guest of Colonel Clark's father at the family residence, in Caroline county. The transition from the exposures and hardships of army and prison life to the comforts and enjoyments of this hospitable Virginia home was doubtless most enjoyable, and all the more so, as he was brought into agreeable female society from which he had been long deprived. One of these young ladies was Miss Lucy Clark, the young and attractive daughter of the host, and it is not at all surprising that an attachment sprung up between them, which ended in their marriage a few years later. John Clark, her father, removed with his family to the falls of the Ohio in 1784, and as Miss Lucy was there, Major Croghan came also in due season, and they were married soon after, and finally settled at Locust Grove, a few miles above Louisville, where they continued to reside the rest of their lives. He died in September, 1822, in the seventieth year of his age, and she in April, 1838, in her seventy-first year. (NOTE: January 12, 1830, Lucy Croghan, sister of George Rogers Clark, made a will devising to her daughter Serina E. Croghan and her granddaughter Angelick Croghan the "land the south of Tennessee" which had belonged to her brother George Rogers Clark, also fee-simple of certain property in Louisville, Kentucky, to her grandchildren, George and John Croghan. Will probated June 1, 1840. (Records of Jefferson county, Kentucky.) )
General George Rogers Clark died at their house where he had lived many years. Major Croghan witnessed the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, but took no part, as he was under parole. He was a delegate from Jefferson county to the Kentucky conventions in 1789 and 1790, and he was one of the commissioners to divide the land in Clark's Grant.
The children of Lucy Clark and William Croghan, her husband, were six sons and two daughters, named as follows: John, George, Charles, Nicholas, William, Edmund, Ann and Eliza.
Charles and Nicholas were twins.
Eliza married George Hancock, and Ann married General Thomas Jessup, adjutant-general U. S. A.
John was a prominent physician and long resided at the old family homestead where he was noted for hospitality and his care of historical family papers.
George married Miss Livingston and greatly distinguished himself as a soldier at Tippecanoe in 1811, in the War of 1812, and in the Mexican War. He was a major at the time of his successful defense of Fort Stephenson at Lower Sandusky in the War of 1812, and won great fame for his gallantry on that occasion. He was then barely twenty-one years of age. Congress presented him a medal, a picture of which is given here.
General William Henry Harrison, in his official report of this affair says: "It will not be among the least of General Proctor's mortifications that he has been baffled by a youth who has just passed his twenty-first year. He is, however, a hero worthy of his gallant uncle, General George R. Clark."
"The brevet rank of lieutenant-colonel was immediately conferred on Major Croghan by the President of the United States for his gallant conduct, and the ladies of Chillicothe presented him an elegant sword, accompanied by a suitable address." (NOTE: McAfee History of the War of 1812.)
A fine monument has been erected on the site of Fort Stephenson at Fremont, Ohio, in honor of Major Croghan's gallantry in holding the fort. A picture of it will be found on the next page.
Elizabeth, daughter of John Clark and Ann Rogers Clark, was born in Caroline county, Virginia, February 11, 1768. She married Richard Clough Anderson, also a native of Virginia, about the year 1787. He entered the Revolutionary army, the head of a company, at the beginning of the war, and served in Colonel Parker's regiment, during the winter campaigns of 1776-7, in New Jersey, being at Trenton and Princeton. He participated in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown in 1777, and the next year was commissioned a major. He was also in the battle of Monmouth. His regiment went south in the summer of 1779 and he was wounded in the assault made on Savannah from which he never entirely recovered. Parker, the colonel of the regiment, was killed at the siege of Charleston. Samuel Hopkins succeeded him as colonel, and Major Anderson was promoted to be lieutenant-colonel. This is the same Samuel Hopkins who subsequently conducted two expeditions against the Indians northwest of the Ohio river. Colonel Anderson was taken prisoner at Charleston, but finally succeeded in securing an exchange and served until the close of the war. He was appointed principal surveyor of the lands granted by the state of Virginia to the soldiers of the continental line by the act of December, 1783. He opened his headquarters at Louisville, Kentucky, in July, 1784, and was a representative from Jefferson county to the conventions at Danville in 1784 and 1788.
Colonel Anderson was twice married. His first wife, Elizabeth Clark, died in 1795, having been the mother of four children; a son, named after his father, and three daughters, Ann, Cecelia and Elizabeth.
The second wife was Sarah Marshall, also of the Clark family, (NOTE: A descendant of the daughter of Jonathan Clark, Senior, who married Torquil McLeod.) and they had seven sons and five daughters, viz.: Fanny, Larz, Robert, William, Mary, Louisa, John R., Hugh, Charles, Lucelia, Matthew, and Sarah. Colonel Anderson died October 16, 1826, at soldiers' Retreat, Jefferson county, Kentucky. Richard Clough Anderson, Junior, the son of the first marriage, was born in 1788, and was a member of congress from Kentucky from 1817 to 1821. After that he represented the United States as minister to Colombia, in which country he lost his wife, who was his cousin Elizabeth, daughter of Owen and Ann Clark Gwathmey, and it is notable that Elizabeth, his sister, married his wife's brother, Isaac R. Gwathmey. The next year after his wife's death, which was in 1825, he died of yellow fever, on his way to Panama, as a representative of the United States to a congress of American nations. He is represented as a gentleman of fine ability and unblemished character. Of the children of the second marriage Colonel Robert Anderson was the renowned hero of Fort Sumter in the Civil War, whose history is so generally known that it need not be repeated here, and Larz and Charles were prominent citizens and politicians in Ohio, the latter being lieutenant-governor of that state in 1864 and subsequently governor by reason of the death of Governor Brough. (NOTE: Governor Charles Anderson here referred to subsequently removed to Kentucky and died at his residence there a short time before the publication of this volume, and a letter written by him to the author in relation to this sketch, his daughter Katherine states, was the last he ever wrote. In fact they were all people of high standing, as were also the children of the first marriage.)
Was the youngest sister of General George Rogers Clark, and all the traditions unite in declaring her to have been beautiful and accomplished. An interesting romance in relation to her marriages and life is told as part of these traditions, but will not be related here as it does not fall within the line of this work. She was born in Caroline county, Virginia, January 20, 1773, was married three times, and had two children by each marriage. Her first husband was Doctor James O'Fallon, a finely educated Irishman, who came to America shortly before the Revolutionary War and soon became an active participant on the side of the colonies. He was an officer during the war, at one time in command of a company, but was employed most of the time as one of the directors of the hospital department.
The two children of Frances Eleanor Clark and Doctor O'Fallon were sons named John and Benjamin. Before John was twenty years old he was in military service under General William Henry Harrison and was wounded in the Tippecanoe battle. He also served with distinction in the war of 1812.
The second husband of Frances Eleanor Clark was Charles Mynn Thruston, of the distinguished family of that name mentioned in a previous chapter. From this marriage resulted two children, Charles William, and Ann Clark, and from these have sprung a long line of descendants, many of them of prominence. Upon the death of Charles Mynn Thruston the widow married her cousin Dennis Fitzhugh, of the well known Virginia family of that name, and from this marriage there was a son and daughter named Clark and Lucy. Surviving all her husbands, this youngest sister of George Rogers Clark died in St. Louis, in June, 1825, at the house of her son, Colonel John O'Fallon.
A remarkable number of persons, bearing the names of prominent families, can be mentioned among the descendants of this estimable lady, such as the O'Fallons, Thrustons, Fitzhughs, Churchills, Ballards, Farrars, Popes, Kennetts, Polks, Hargraves, Burns, Potters, Belchers, Housers, Keeses and Peppers, as will be seen by reference to the genealogical list in the appendix.
William Clark, the youngest brother of George Rogers Clark, was born in Caroline county, Virginia, August 1, 1770. He came west with his father and mother in 1784, and joined his brother and other relatives at the falls of the Ohio. His home was in this vicinity until his departure on the celebrated exploring expedition, led by him and Meriwether Lewis, across the country to the Pacific ocean in 1804-5, under the auspices of President Jefferson. The distinguished military history of his family naturally drew his attention to military matters from his early boyhood, and when he was only nineteen years old he marched against the Indians northwest of the Ohio river in an expedition led by Colonel John Hardin. In 1790 he was sent on a mission to the Creek and Cherokee Indians, and in 1791 he served as an ensign and acting lieutenant with the expeditions under Generals Scott and Wilkinson against the Indians on the Wabash. General Washington commissioned him a first lieutenant in the fourth sub. legion under General Wayne in March, 1793.
He entered active service at once, aiding in constructing forts on the line proposed to be followed into the Indian country, and in the latter part of the year he was dispatched on an expedition up the Wabash to Vincennes, which lasted several months, his boat being blocked by ice at one time for a period of twenty days.
He returned to Fort Washington, where Cincinnati is now situated, in the spring of 1794, having had several skirmishes with the Indians. He was next assigned the duty of escorting a large quantify of clothing and provisions to Fort Greenville. It required seven hundred pack-horses to carry the goods, and Lieutenant Clark had eighty men under his command on the journey. While on the way the advance guard of the party was attacked by Indians and five of the whites killed. Lieutenant Clark, who was with the main body of the troops, advanced rapidly upon the Indians, when they retreated with some loss. He was thanked for his good conduct by General Wayne.
He distinguished himself at the successful action of August 20, 1794, when in command of a company of riflemen he drove a portion of the enemy on the left several miles, killing a number of Indians and Canadians. In 1795 he was dispatched on a military mission to New Madrid, on the Mississippi river. He resigned his commission in 1796, and for a time retired from the army, because of bad health.
For the next seven or eight years he was most of the time about the falls of the Ohio, either with his parents and relatives on the Kentucky side, or with his brother, General George Rogers Clark, at Clarksville, on the Indiana side. It is stated in Dr. Coue's valuable edition of the history of Lewis and Clark's expedition that a commission was issued to him, January 8, 1790, by Arthur St. Clair, "governor of the territory of the United States northwest of the river Ohio," as "a captain of militia in the town and vicinity of Clarksville." If this was the William Clark now being considered, he was evidently residing in Indiana at that time, and this commission is in possession of his descendants.
But there were three William Clarks connected with Indiana history in the pioneer period, and this has been the cause of confusion and historical mistakes. William Clark, the subject of the present sketch, long survived the others and from that cause, as well as the prominence he subsequently attained, matters pertaining to the other two have, more or less, been attributed to him. In other words, he has to some extent absorbed the others, and some have spoken of him as the surveyor-in-chief of Clark's Grant, and some as being the William Clark who was made judge of Indiana territory in 1801.
Even so high an authority as "Appleton's Encyclopedia of American Biography," a work of great value and general accuracy, states, on page 631 of volume 1, under the head of "William Clark, Jurist," that "President Adams appointed him in 1800 chief-justice of the territory of Indiana, and he was afterward commissioned as the second governor of the territory of Missouri." Governor William Clark, of Missouri, died and was buried at St. Louis, September 1, 1838, and William Clark, the judge of Indiana territory, never was governor of Missouri territory, and died and was buried at Vincennes, November 12, 1802, as will be seen from the fac-simile of the entry of his death in the records of St. Xavier's Church, which is reproduced on next page.
NOTE: S. (Translation of fac-simile which appears on preceding page.)
In the year 1802, on the 12th of November, the body of William Clark, one of the judges of the supreme court of the territory of Indiana, was interred in the cemetery of this church. He died the day before, and although having religious convictions, the last progress of his sickness was so rapid that time was not left him to receive the Christian sacraments. An enlightened judge, firm, and incorruptible, he has taken with him the just regrets of all good people.
Vincennes, 12th November, 1802.
T. Sr. Rivete,
A further sketch of Judge William Clark will be given in a subsequent volume.
William Clark, the surveyor-in-chief of Clark's Grant, and one of the trustees of Clarksville, who spent much of his time at that place, a sketch of whom has already been given, was not the William Clark who was governor of Missouri territory, but his cousin.
William Clark, the subject of this sketch, joined Captain Meriwether Lewis in conducting an expedition through the unexplored wilderness to the Pacific ocean in 1803, as already stated. (NOTE:The perfect confidence President Jefferson had in the heads of this expedition is shown in a remarkable letter of credit which he issued, a fac-simile of which is at this writing before the author, and not reproduced here because of lack of space. In it he says: "I hereby authorize you to draw on the secretaries of state, of the treasury, of war, and of the navy of the United States, according as you may find your draughts will be most negotiable, for the purpose of obtaining money or necessaries for yourself or your men; and I solemnly pledge the faith of the United States that these draughts shall be paid punctually at the date they are made payable." It will be observed that there was a striking evidence of trust in those given charge of the undertaking.)
Captain Lewis had been the private secretary of President Jefferson, and the expedition was undertaken at his request. The winter of 1803 was spent at the mouth of the Missouri river, and the party set out on the journey, from that point, early in the spring of 1804, numbering forty-three men. The long journey through to the Pacific and return was of great importance to the country, and thrillingly interesting. It is too well known, however, to be dwelt upon here. Some time after his return in September, 1806, he visited Washington and, no doubt, the place of his former residence in Virginia at the same time. At or near Fincastle, in that state, on the 5th of January, 1808, he married Miss Julia Hancock, who died June 27, 1820; and on the 28th of November, 1821, he married Mrs. Harriet Kennerly Radford, who died December 25, 1831.
Some time after his return from the Pacific, Captain Clark was appointed to the then important position of Indian agent at St. Louis, a place for which he possessed superior qualifications by reason of his acquaintance with the western Indian tribes, and intimate knowledge of the Indian character. He was later also made a brigadier-general of that territory, and in 1813 was made its governor.
In the War of 1812 he was offered a commission as brigadier-general in the regular army, but did not accept it, believing that he could be of more advantage in his position of governor and Indian agent in influencing the Indian tribes to neutrality, and there is no doubt but his services in this direction were highly beneficial.
He was appointed superintendent of Indian affairs by President Monroe in 1822, and secured many important treaties with western Indian tribes.
Governor William Clark died in St. Louis, September 1, 1838, in the sixty-ninth year of his age, universally esteemed by all who knew him. The highest respect was paid to his memory. He was buried with distinguished honors at a beautiful place he had himself selected near St. Louis, being the family cemetery on the plantation of his kinsman, General John O'Fallon.
The only child now living (1895), of any of the brothers or sisters of General George Rogers Clark, is Governor Clark's son Jefferson K. Clark, of St. Louis, whose portrait is here given and who has freely contributed to the material used in this work.

Another Defense Base Act PTSD failure.
McIntosh took his own life in February in Harlingen, Texas. He was 35
Doug Robinson at Deseret News June 5, 2012
Dale McIntosh was no stranger to death. When it wasn't everywhere around him, it was a constant threat, something that kept him literally looking over his shoulder for months at a time.
A former Marine, he hired himself out as a privately contracted bodyguard in the Middle East, where he lived on the edge and saw and did things so terrible that it haunted him. He survived firefights, ambushes, exploding cars, road mines, snipers and rocket-propelled grenades. In the end, he escaped without any wounds, or at least none we could see.
When he returned, he seemed to be the Dale that his friends remembered — charming, gregarious, warm, outgoing — but inside, he was hurting and disturbed. McIntosh brought demons home with him.
In 2006, I wrote a lengthy profile about McIntosh, then a student at Westminster who took time off from his studies to pursue quick money and an adrenaline fix in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the postscript: McIntosh took his own life in February in Harlingen, Texas. He was 35
After graduating from Utah State, Dale served five years in the Marines — part of it in special ops — but felt unfulfilled because he never saw action. He compared it to being an athlete who never got in the game. Eager to use his military skills and see action, he signed on to do private security work. At the time, there was a big demand for security firms, the most famous and controversial of which was Blackwater. With a shortage of manpower, the U.S. government hired the firms to protect American interests and personnel in the Middle East. They were largely ungoverned by law, which did not make them popular at home or abroad. McIntosh spent six months in Afghanistan, five months in Iraq, two months in Bosnia and then another two months in Iraq before returning to Utah in the fall of 2005.
Doug Robinson has written at length about his friend Dale. Please read the entire story here

Toronto mayor says he is not a drug addict
- Ford%3A %27If I am an addict%2C I could not show up to work%27
- Ford denies seeing the controversial video
- Deputy mayor says Ford%27s apology was sufficient
TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford dodged a direct question during a radio talk show appearance Monday about whether he has ever used crack cocaine a day after he apologized for "a lot of stupid things" and acknowledged the need to curb his drinking.
When asked by the host of The John Oakley Show if he has ever used crack, Ford responded by saying only that he was not a drug addict or an alcoholic.
Ford continued to insist that he doesn't have an addiction when he was asked if he would be able to recognize the signs of addiction.
"If I am an addict I could not show up to work every single day and you know I cannot miss work," he said.
The populist, conservative mayor was interviewed on the show addressing a media storm that broke after police revealed last week that they had obtained a copy of a video that appears to show the mayor puffing on a crack cocaine pipe.
The video was recovered from a computer hard drive during an investigation of Alexander Lisi, an associate of Ford's who is suspected of providing him with drugs. Police have said they don't have grounds to charge the mayor with any crime.
Ford didn't address the contents of the video Sunday, saying he cannot comment on a tape he hasn't seen. He pleaded with police to release the video to the public. However, police have said they cannot release the video because it is evidence in the Lisi case.
Police said the video will come out when Lisi goes to trial on drug and extortion charges. Lisi is accused of threatening two alleged gang members who had been trying to sell the video to the media.
Police have said they want to talk to Ford, but his lawyer so far has declined.
Ford on Sunday acknowledged making "mistakes," saying he was referring to being inebriated in public and texting while driving. He did not say much about the contents of the alleged video.
He said that while he's not going to curb his drinking altogether, he'll slow down on "the eating and drinking and everything."
And despite calls for his resignation by council members and the public, he declined to take a leave of absence or resign.
Councilor Sarah Docuette said Monday that she doesn't think many councilors feel like his apology is enough.
"I still feel he should step aside, look after himself, look after his family and do what's best for him because what is best for him is what is best for the city."
"I don't think it (the apology) was adequate," said Councilor Gloria Lindsay Luby. "It didn't address what most people were very concerned about, which were the drug allegations."
Toronto's deputy mayor Norm Kelly said Monday that while Ford's public apology "may not be the one that everyone had anticipated," it was enough.
"I think that apology and the acknowledgment together, and a commitment to change his behavior is a good first step," Kelly said. "I'll hold him to his commitment, and hopefully time will prove that he's made the right decision."
All four major Toronto newspapers have called on Ford to resign. Municipal law makes no provision for his forced removal from office unless he's convicted and jailed for a criminal offense.
Ford, whose term ends in Oct. 2014, vowed Sunday to run for re-election and the crack smoking allegations do not seem to have hurt him with his base in the Toronto suburbs.
Ford, 44, was elected three years ago largely on the strength of his support in the suburbs where the previous mayor, David Miller, was viewed as too focused on downtown city needs and reckless with tax dollars.
Ford's approval rating even edged up slightly after police announced they recovered the video file that appears to show the mayor smoking from a crack pipe.
According to a Forum Research poll conducted on Nov. 1 — a day after the police announcement — the mayor's approval rating rose to 44% from 39%, with 98% of respondents saying they were aware of the news of the recovered video.
"It is clear the people who approve of the mayor (older, low income, less educated, male, suburban) are also those who think he should not resign, whereas those who think he should resign (younger, higher income, better educated, downtown) are also those who do not approve of him," said Forum Research in a news release.
The poll was a random telephone sampling of 1,032 Toronto voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.

More first books for fledgling readers that offer the enjoyment of a good story with the thrill of accomplishment that comes from independent reading. Written in short, easy phrases with carefully selected vocabulary and plentiful illustrations, each book helps youngsters achieve success as they have fun.
The series follows three friends who love to share stories. In each book, one is reminded of a well-known story:
It's Not About the Ball! is based on The Frog Prince;
It' Not About the Tiny Girl! is based on Thumbelina;
It's Not About the Diamonds! is based on the story of Diamonds and Toads;
It's Not About the Straw! is based on Rumpelstiltskin and
It's Not About the Beanstalk! is based on Jack and the Beanstalk.
As one friend starts his story, the others are reminded of versions they know so each volume has three stories within one framework. The stories come from around the world, and Veronika Martenova Charles provides a note at the end of each book to describe the origins.

CIPA requires that schools receiving reimbursements for telecommunications services through the E-Rate program must verify that they have educated every student on three topics: Appropriate Online Behavior, Social Networking, and Cyber Bullying.
But educators understand students need additional life and consumer skills to avoid identity theft and even pursue academics. The challenge for educators is finding a high quality, cohesive digital citizenship curriculum that is age-appropriate, aligned to standards, integrates with core subject matter, minimizes any reporting burden and stays current with the ever-advancing technologies.
The challenge for E-Rate administrators starts with being able to verify compliance with 100% of the educators, across multiple schools and all grades. In addition, they must brief administration with status reports as they protect funding, and eventually manage storage of documentation for 10 years.
With E-Rate funding at stake, administrators need to accurately account for and, if called upon, document their district's compliance with CIPA.
ISAFE Digital Learning programs provide:
- Customized policy and document implementation strategy.
- Real time reporting by school, teacher, students taught by grade & topic with on demand, and easy to use chart & graph reports.
- Digital completion certification by the teacher. No papers to track, and verifiable through monitoring of student progress.
- All data is stored for 10 years, as required, in case of audit.
With high demand for classroom time, teachers want to comply with CIPA requirements, and teach valuable life skills, while supporting broader educational goals, i.e. Common Core.
ISAFE Digital Learning programs provide:
- Teacher specific portal enabling quick, age-appropriate sourcing of digital learning content meeting CCSS, NETS, AALS standards and Common Core goals.
- Capability to track individual student progress and completion of lessons, facilitating individual study and efficient use of classroom time.
- Built in, simple verification by teacher reports to E-Rate administrator and ensures CIPA education compliance without additional time or paper processes.
- Integration in the E-Rate administrators reporting tool, provides real time data, minimizing additional status focused reporting or communications.
The classroom is a dynamic environment, and teachers need powerful yet-simple tools to meet student learning goals.
Every easy-to-access ISAFE lesson is based on CCSS, ISTE/NETS, AALS standards. Content is updated regularly to reflect the latest research and online trends, and can be taught within a single class period.
ISAFE lessons enable student practice of Common Core State Standards, incorporating concept-development tools meeting differentiation needs, plus informational reading, writing, speaking and listening skill development.
ISAFE Digital Learning programs save districts money in several ways:
- No staff time is needed to develop, manage or update CIPA /E-Rate curriculum.
- ISAFE's digital learning materials are hosted in the cloud, removing the cost of IT management and capacity.
- There are no textbooks, distribution costs, or copies to be made.
- Managing implementation and reporting for E-Rate compliance across a district is a one-person task.
- Reports can be generated to demonstrate verified execution. Any time. No free. No long term storage costs. No stress.

|Russian Wikipedia on tungsten hexacarbonyl.
Because I was wondering about the quality of the SMILES strings (and because people ask me about these things), I made some time today to run a test:
- SPARQL for all SMILES strings
- process each one of them with the CDK SMILES parser
identifier = "P233" // SMILES
type = "smiles"
sparql = """
PREFIX wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>
SELECT ?compound ?smiles WHERE {
?compound wdt:P233 ?smiles .
mappings = rdf.sparqlRemote("https://query.wikidata.org/sparql", sparql)
outFilename = "/Wikidata/badWikidataSMILES.txt"
if (ui.fileExists(outFilename)) ui.remove(outFilename)
fileContent = ""
for (i=1; i<=mappings.rowCount; i++) {
try {
wdID = mappings.get(i, "compound")
smiles = mappings.get(i, "smiles")
mol = cdk.fromSMILES(smiles)
} catch (Throwable exception) {
fileContent += (wdID + "," + smiles + ": " +
exception.message + "\n")
if (i % 1000 == 0) js.say("" + i)
ui.append(outFilename, fileContent)
It turns out that out of the more than 16 thousand SMILES strings in Wikidata, only 42 could not be parsed. That does not mean they are correct, but it does mean the are wrong. Many of them turned out to be imported from the Russian Wikipedia, which is nice, as it gives me the opportunite to work in that Wikipedia instance too :)
At this moment, some 19 SMILES still need fixing (the list will chance over time, so by the time you read this...):

Coconut Cream Jar Pies
These pocket sized desserts from Handheld Pies are not exactly like the slice you'd find at your local diner, and the fact that it comes in a jar is only the beginning.
Sarah Billingsley and Rachel Wharton have crafted a take on classic coconut cream that feels updated and even a little elegant. Beginning with a flaky butter crust with just the right amount of salt, the custard that's spooned into the shells is intensely coconutty with chewy-tender shreds of unsweetened coconut and coconut milk and finished with a dollop of barely sweet whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Not exactly like the one you're going to find in your local diner's dessert case, but chances are they're not serving pies in jars either.

- Yield:makes 6 pies
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:3 hours
- 1/2 recipe Flaky Butter Crust (recipe follows)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded or flaked unsweetened dried coconut
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- Flaky Butter Crust
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose/plain flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
For the Flaky Butter Crust: Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes, and freeze them while you measure and mix the dry ingredients.
To make the dough in a food processor: Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the processor and pulse three or four times to mix. Retrieve the butter cubes from the freezer, scatter them over the flour mixture, and pulse until the mixture forms pea-size clumps. Add the ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, and pulse to mix, adding just enough water for the dough to come together.
To make the dough by hand: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Retrieve the butter cubes from the freezer and distribute them evenly in the flour mixture, coating them with the flour mixture. Sink your fingers into the mixture and begin pinching the butter and flour together, making thin, floury disks of the butter. Continue working the mixture until the butter is broken down first into floury pea-sized beads and then into a loose mixture that resembles wet sand. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons of the ice water and use your hand like a comb to mix in the liquid just until the dough holds together. If necessary, add additional water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough comes together in a crumbly mass.
Alternatively, if using a pastry blender, whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Scatter the butter evenly over the flour mixture, and stir to coat with the flour mixture. Using a swift, downward motion, cut the butter into the dry ingredients, turning the bowl and then plunging the cutter into the mixture repeatedly. You may need to stop occasionally to slip chunks of butter from the blades back into the flour. Continue cutting until the mixture resembles wet sand. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons of the water and use a fork or your fingers to mix in the liquid just until the dough holds together. If necessary, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a crumbly mass.
Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured work surface or sheet of parchment paper. Gather the dough together in a mound, then knead it a few times to smooth it out. Divide it in half, and gently pat and press each half into a rough rectangle, circle, or square about 1 inch thick. The shape you choose depends on what shape you will be rolling out the dough. If you don't know how you will be using the dough at this point, opt for a circle. Wrap in plastic wrap or in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
For the Pies:Line 6 half-pint jars with the butter crust with the pastry. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
Meanwhile, Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread the dried coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet/tray, place in the oven, and toast until golden, about 5 minutes. Once the coconut starts to brown, it can overdarken quickly, so watch closely. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a shallow bowl or plate and let cool completely (do not leave it on the hot pan or it will continue to brown). Increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
Fit a piece of parchment/baking paper into each pastry-lined jar, extending it beyond the rim, and fill with pie weights . Arrange the jars on a rimmed baking sheet/tray, place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, lift out the paper and weights, return the jars to the oven, and continue baking until the pastry looks dry and is golden, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a baking rack before filling.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended. Set aside. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl.
In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, milk, 2/3 cup of the sugar, the cornstarch, and the salt. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to steam and bubble at the edges of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour this mixture into the saucepan while stirring constantly. Return the pan to medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened to a puddinglike consistency and is just beginning to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through the sieve into the bowl. Stir in the vanilla and 1 cup of the toasted coconut (reserve the remainder for topping the pies). Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture, and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
Just before assembling the pie, in a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream until about tripled in volume. Add the sugar and whip until soft peaks form. (Or, use a large bowl and a handheld mixer or whisk.)
Spoon about 3/4 cup of the coconut filling into each jar and smooth the tops. Top the filling with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the whipped cream, then sprinkle the reserved toasted coconut evenly over the cream.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days then serve chilled or at room temperature. These pies cannot be frozen.

Rick Perry expected to disclose political future
Texas Governor Rick Perry, the nation's longest-serving governor and a failed contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, planned to announce Monday whether he will seek re-election next year.
Perry, 63, is best known nationally for his poor performance as a Republican candidate for the White House. During a debate in November 2011, he famously forgot the government departments he would abolish if he were elected to the White House and dropped out of the race a few weeks later.
Perry has set a 1 p.m. news conference Monday in San Antonio to make what was billed as an important announcement.
Asked on "Fox News Sunday" whether a presidential run is in the cards, Perry said: "Well, certainly, that's an option out there, but, again, we got a lot of work to do in this building right behind me over the course of the next couple of weeks that have my focus substantially more than even 2014 or 2016."
The timing of his announcement comes shortly after he rehired his former presidential campaign communications director Mark Miner, and as Perry is locked in a heated battle with Texas Democrats over restrictions on abortion.
"In Texas, the road to the governor's office goes straight through the Republican primary electorate," said Mark P. Jones, a political scientist at Rice University in Houston. "Right now, Perry retains very strong support among Republican primary voters."
Perry is motivated to overcome his embarrassing national stumble, Jones said. Perry and his consultants later blamed the debate gaffe on pain from a recent back surgery.
"Pundits and liberals and Perry opponents care far more about the 'oops moment' than do voters in the Republican primary," Jones said. "As long as he does well on the campaign trail."
Perry took office in December 2000 after then-Texas Governor George W. Bush was declared winner of the disputed presidential election over Democrat Al Gore. Perry was elected to a full term in 2002, and re-elected 2006 and 2010.
If he runs for a fourth four-year term, Perry may face what is known around Texas as "Perry fatigue." Perry is already by far the longest serving governor in Texas history, and a recent poll by the Democratic-leaning PPP polling group indicated that 60 percent of Texans don't want him to run for governor again.
A poll by Rasmussen Reports last week showed Perry running sixth among Texas Republicans for president in 2016. The leader among Texas Republicans is Ted Cruz, Texas' junior U.S. senator.
Perry brushed aside those concerns on "Fox News Sunday."
"You know, polls are polls. As a matter of fact, I think it was four years ago that showed us 25 points down to a sitting U.S. senator," Perry said.
Perry defeated Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, who was considered the most popular politician in Texas, by 22 points to win the Republican primary in the 2010 governor's race.
Perry also is embroiled in a battle over abortion restrictions that made State Senator Wendy Davis a national figure and likely Democratic candidate for governor in 2014.
Democratic Party consultant Jason Stanford said the uproar over Davis may sway the governor, who opposes abortion.
"Before Wendy Davis became a national star, people weren't giving Rick Perry good odds of running for re-election," Stanford said. "Everybody assumed he would go off into the sunset and get ready to run for president... Now it looks like he's spoiling for a fight."

IEEE's Robot iPad App is Robot Heaven
Hands on with IEEE Robots iPad App
Handing an iPad loaded with the IEEE's new Robots app to someone like me is a little dangerous. I love robots. I've covered them for years and eagerly await the day when I can have long, insightful conversations with my robotic best friend. IEEE Spectrum Robots is like a gift from heaven. It's the most comprehensive, entertaining digital guide I have ever seen on the subject.
The Institute of Electrical Engineers and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and IEEE Spectrum spent almost a year building an app that is equal parts education and entertainment. It covers over 120 robots, from the well-known Honda Asimo to the somewhat lesser known Paro therapeutic robotic and the truly obscure ACM-R5H "snake" robot. Every single bot gets its own page complete with virtually every photo taken and video made of the robot (overall there are 493 photos and an almost equal number of videos). There's also a description, and full specs for each. However, the IEEE always keeps it entertaining. Each robot page also lets you rate the robot and signify if you'd want to own it. You can even use a sliding scale to rate the robot's creepiness factor (the scale slides from "Creepy" all the way to "Nice").
All of the ratings are aggregated into a Ratings page where you can see the Creepiest, Nicest, Most Wanted and overall Top-Rated robots.
One of my favorite pages was for Honda's ASIMO Humanoid robot. The pictures depict its development from the mid 1980's, when it was essentially just a pair of smart set of legs, to its present, cuter and far more versatile embodiment. It's just so easy to get lost in this app!
There is, of course, an entire area devoted to learning about robots that includes, among other things, a detailed description of "The Uncanny Valley," a rich glossary (learn the meaning of "Haptics" and "LIDAR"), and an excellent Timeline.
If you just want to play, IEEE Spectrum Robots includes "Face Off", which is a blend of "Versus" and "Would You?". It shows you two pictures of robots and asks, for instance, which one you would rather hug or kiss and which is cooler and "Which robot could be a sci-fi villain?" Every time you select a choice, the app shows you what percentage of users also made the same selection. It's fun and I think I went through two dozen choices before finally returning to work.
I did get a bit of a surprise when testing out the app. Apparently I have been covering a lot of robots for a long time because I found a couple of video of me interviewing Robot Industry luminaries (with their robots).
The app is for the iPad only (running iOS 5.0) and costs $4.99. Yes, that ranks it among some of the more expensive apps (in this relative world), but I consider it well worth every penny. If you love robots, as I do, you must download this app today.
How do you feel about robots? Are you too afraid of the robot revolution to enjoy an app like this? Explain yourself in the comments.

Mini Lantern – Corn Dolls
A beautifully hand crafted corn dolly created by a genuine cottage industry in England. Lovingly woven from specially grown, and harvested, wheat straw.
Made to a traditional, time-honoured design, their exact significance is shrouded in folklore and meanders from county to county across the country.
A talisman of good fortune made from the last sheaves of corn harvested, capturing the spirit of the crop to carry over into the next year. Originally a pagan symbol of fertility, it has carried over into the Christian Harvest Festival.
Hanging indoors it should last for many years.
Height 9cm (excluding loop) by 6cm width approx.

Let $A$ be a fixed positive semi-definite symmetric $m\times m$ matrix, and let $p$ be a fixed positive integer. Let $Z$ vary over all $m\times p$ matrices with orthonormal columns, and denote the transpose of $Z$ by $Z^T$. How does one prove that the minimum of $\mbox{det}(Z^T.A.Z)$ is the product of the $p$ smallest eigenvalues of $A$?
I've seen this quoted in a few places, but the references cited have turned out to be either vacuous ("a little algebra shows") or encrusted with so much generality that I can't see through to the core of the proof. Does anyone have a good reference or a proof that is short enough to be given in this forum? Not surprisingly, I can prove it for $p=1$ and for $p=m$.
And is there an analogous result when "minimum" is replaced by "maximum"?
Does anyone know to whom these results are due? They are probably pretty ancient.

(c) Base flood—that flood which has a one percent chance of occurrence in any given year (also known as a 100-year flood). (This term is used in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to indicate the minimum level of flooding to be used by a community in its floodplain management regulations.)
(d) Base floodplain—the 100-year floodplain (one percent chance floodplain). Also see definition of floodplain.
(e) Channel—a natural or artificial watercourse of perceptible extent, with a definite bed and banks to confine and conduct continuously or periodically flowing water.
(f) Critical action—any activity for which even a slight chance of flooding would be too great.
(g) Facility—any man-made or man-placed item other than a structure.
(h) Flood or flooding—a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from the overflow of inland and/or tidal waters, and/or the usual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source.
(i) Flood fringe—that portion of the floodplain outside of the regulatory floodway (often referred to as "floodway fringe").
(j) Floodplain—the lowland and relatively flat areas adjoining inland and coastal waters including floodprone areas of offshore islands, including at a minimum, that area subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year.

(n) Practicable—capable of being done within existing constraints. The test of what is practicable depends upon the situation and includes consideration of the pertinent factors, such as environment, cost or technology.
(o) Preserve—to prevent modification to the natural floodplain environment or to maintain it as closely as possible to its natural state.
(p) Regulatory floodway—the area regulated by Federal, State or local requirements; the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in an open manner, i.e., unconfined or unobstructed either horizontally or vertically, to provide for the discharge of the base flood so the cumulative increase in water surface elevation is no more than a designated amount (not to exceed one foot as set by the NFIP).

Gun permit applications spike after Newtown shootings
A spike in the number of people looking to secure gun permits is being felt statewide, especially in towns like Seymour, Milford and Branford, where police said applications for pistol permits have "doubled" in the wake of the Newtown school tragedy.
"In the last week alone, we have given out 8-12 applications for pistol permits," said Seymour Police Chief Michael Metzler. "It's outrageous."
Seymour Police Sgt. Robert Rinaldi, who's in charge of the application process, believes the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School Dec. 14, where a lone gunman opened fire and killed 20 first-graders and six adults, has much to do with people flocking to local police stations.
"We've definitely seen an increase over the last two years, and, since Newtown, we've also been getting 8-10 phone calls a week from residents inquiring about how to go about applying for a permit," Rinaldi said.
Though he did not have specific numbers, Branford Police Capt. Geoffrey Morgan estimated the number of people applying has doubled since Newtown, but already had been on a steady incline since President Barack Obama was elected.
"I think people want to be able to secure the right while they still have it, and before it gets limited. A lot of those laws are like grandfather clauses -- so, 'If you already have it, we're not going to take it away,'" Morgan said. "It would just make it more difficult or limit the number of people that can get them in the future. People want to take advantage of the rights they have now."
Rinaldi said 81 permits were given out to Seymour residents in 2011, and 131 issued in 2012. He said everyone from parents to young people just out of college are applying for permits.
"People coming in and asking for applications since Newtown has shot up significantly," Rinaldi said.
Two Seymour women, who wished to remain anonymous, had appointments with Rinaldi this week to get their fingerprints done. Given today's climate, they want to carry a gun for personal safety.
"I'm going to be graduating from college soon, and will be out on my own," said one woman. "I want to be able to protect myself. If you take guns out of the hands of the good people, and leave them in the hands of the criminals, that's never a good thing."
The other woman said she and her fiance recently became homeowners, and want a gun for "extra protection."
Seymour Police Lt. Paul Satkowski said "anytime debate about gun control comes up, you see an increase in permit applications."
State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance concurred. "That is true; when people talk of gun control or rumor of possible changes ... the numbers spike," he said.
Vance noted that approximately 162,000 pistol permits were issued statewide in 2011, and 179,000 in 2012.
Milford Police Chief Keith Mello said the number of permit applications has doubled in the last 30 days, with the department handing out 44 applications; during the same time period the previous year, 20 applications were requested.
In order to purchase a pistol in Connecticut, a person first must obtain a state permit. To be eligible, a person cannot have been convicted of a felony a domestic violence charge. A person can apply for a permit through their municipality.
In towns like Seymour and Branford, people can fill out the application at the police department. They will then be fingerprinted, have to attend an NRA pistol class, become certified from that class and pay other costs for background checks and paperwork.
The local agency then conducts a background investigation to determine if a person is "suitable," and they then are checked through the FBI.
Normally that FBI check takes 8 weeks, according to Morgan, but he said the waiting period now is longer because of "an onslaught of people applying."
Morgan said that once the background check is complete, the applicant is given a temporary pistol permit. They then have to go to the state police barracks, where they are issued the more permanent permit.
Since 2005, the number of new pistol permits issued by Connecticut State Police has risen from 5,085 to 12,107 in 2011. Other towns, like Orange, haven't seen a big upswing in permits, issuing 66 permits in 2011 compared to 64 last year, but saw a spike following the Cheshire triple-murder in 2007 and expect the same to happen in the wake of the Newtown shootings, according to Gary Canapino, police records clerk.
In Ansonia, Police Lt. Andrew Cota said things are pretty much status quo. "We have not really seen a rise," Cota said. "There had been a steady flow of requests for the last few months, but nothing out of the ordinary."
Woodbridge Police Sgt. Frank Cappiello said 44 permits were issued last year, and so far this year, there are 13 applications going through background checks, of which seven came following the Newtown tragedy.
Cappiello also said he has seen a "significant increase in applications" in the last two to three years, with people concerned additional restrictions will be placed on guns.
In West Haven, gun permit requests haven't increased dramatically have grown over the past year, according to Officer Bret Schneider.
In Middletown, police said they have 70 appointments for applications scheduled now until March 14, a marked increase since Newtown.
A New Haven police spokesman said the department didn't have pistol permit numbers available.
Register reporters Jennifer Swift, Brian McCready, Bridget Albert, Patti Villers and Susan Misur, and Middletown Press reporter Lauren Sievert, contributed to this story.

A youth group leader at a South Florida mosque pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two child pornography charges with federal authorities saying he admitted making a sexually explicit video of a 14-year-old group member.
Umair Tayyab Sheikh, 23, is being held in federal custody without bond after U.S. Magistrate Judge Lurana Snow determined earlier this month that he was a serious flight risk and a potential danger to the community.
Sheikh acknowledged he made a video of a teenage boy from his group masturbating, but denied sharing it with anyone, according to federal authorities. Sheikh allegedly told FBI agents that he made the recording at the boy's request and only watched it when the boy came to his Cooper City home, court records show.
The name of the mosque Sheikh had been attending is not listed in court records.
The investigation into Sheikh began in September when a FBI special agent tasked with rooting out child pornography pinpointed a computer that was actively sharing illicit images. Authorities were able to determine the computer was in the home that Sheikh shares with his parents and siblings.
FBI agents searched the house on Dec. 20, but Sheikh was in Pakistan getting married. FBI agents met him when his plane arrived Jan. 5 at Miami International Airport.
Sheikh admitted there was child pornography on the computer at home as well as the laptop and phone he had with him, according to the FBI. He allegedly said he preferred viewing videos of girls between 12 and 15 years old, wrote Snow in her order detaining Sheikh.
A Fort Lauderdale federal grand jury indicted him last week on two criminal charges—distribution of child pornography and possession of a visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. If he is convicted of the two charges, he could face up to 30 years in prison.
One of Sheikh's attorneys, Joaquin Mendez, said Tuesday it was too early in the proceedings for him to comment on the case.

And this, also designed by SnyperP.
He's actually gone and fulfilled several requests but unfortunately I don't have room for all of them here. I'm putting together a gallery that will be available soon. In the meantime, here are a couple more.
