The fate of three U.S. citizens who have disappeared or been imprisoned in Iran was discussed during Friday's historic conversation between the two nations' presidents, a senior U.S. administration official said.
U.S. President Barack Obama, during his phone call with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, "noted our concern about three American citizens who have been held within Iran -- Robert Levinson, Saeed Abedini, and Amir Hekmati -- and noted our interest in seeing those Americans reunited with their families," the official said.
Two of the Americans have been tried and convicted in Iranian courts, and the whereabouts of another have been unknown for more than six years.
Here are the most recent developments in the stories of the detained U.S. citizens:
Bob Levinson
The family of Levinson, a retired FBI agent, has been anxiously waiting for news, any news, about his fate since he vanished during a business trip to Iran in March 2007.
When Rouhani, Iran's new president, arrived in New York, Levinson's wife and children were watching closely for a sign that efforts to find Levinson might move forward.
During an exclusive interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Rouhani offered little when asked what he can tell Levinson's family.
"We don't know where he is, who he is," Rouhani said. "He is an American who has disappeared. We have no news of him."
Yet, like former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Rouhani spoke of cooperation.
"We are willing to help, and all the intelligence services in the region can come together to gather information about him to find his whereabouts," Rouhani told Amanpour. "And we're willing to cooperate on that."
The State Department has said Levinson is believed to be held in southwest Asia.
"We have every reason to believe that he's alive and that the Iranians control his fate," a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN, a departure from last year when the same source described Levinson as "alive and well."
Questions about his health also remain unanswered. Levinson suffers from diabetes.
Levinson's family said Rouhani's comments, while not directly acknowledging information about Levinson, "are consistent with the commitments made in the past, and [they hope] those promises turn into results."
Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the State Department said Rouhani's comments about cooperation were welcome.
"We look forward to hearing more specifics on how Iran can help in reuniting Mr. Levinson with his family in the United States as soon as possible."
Both the State Department and Levinson's family deny he was working for the government when he disappeared. The family says Levinson was there on private business investigating cigarette smuggling.
In January, the family released so-called "proof of life photos" they received a few years ago. The photos show him with long, unkempt hair and wearing an orange shirt. He is holding signs written in poor English, including one that reads. " Why you can not help me?"
An FBI task force meets regularly to assess Levinson's case.
"The FBI remains committed to doing all we can to bring Bob Levinson home safely to his family," a statement reads.
This summer, the FBI began publishing ads in Farsi publications in Los Angeles and Washington, which have large Iranian-American populations, requesting any information about Levinson, to raise awareness, and advertising a $1 million reward announced by former FBI Director Robert Mueller in 2012.
In November, Levinson will become one of the longest-held Americans in history passing the 2,454 days Terry Anderson spent in captivity before being freed by Islamic militants in Lebanon in 1991.
Saeed Abedini
In a news release Friday from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), Abedini's wife, Naghmeh, was quoted as saying she was "very grateful to President Obama for standing up for Saeed and for the other Americans who are held captive in Iran."

- Volatility Increases, Possible Acceleration of Inflation
- Invoice Counts and Customer Counts Paint Less Rosy Picture
HAMILTON, N.J., Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Billtrust, the leading outsourced billing services provider, today announced the September data release of the Billtrust B2B Sales Index™ as well as the debut of two new B2B measures: the Billtrust B2B Invoice Counts Index and the Billtrust B2B Customer Counts Index. The Billtrust B2B Sales Index, an indicator of U.S. economic trends based on a reliable sampling of business-to-business invoice activity, increased 1.5% for the month of September.
Billtrust's additional two metrics pertain to customer counts and invoice counts to provide a more complete picture of B2B trends. The new indexes were derived by the same methodology as the Billtrust B2B Sales Index; for September, the Billtrust B2B Invoice Counts Index gained 0.1%, and the Billtrust B2B Customer Counts Index declined 0.1%.
Overseeing the Billtrust B2B Indexes is Arthur A. Ferri, Ph.D., Advanced Analytics Consultant for Billtrust. Ferri was formerly Associate Professor in the Finance and Economics Division of Columbia Business School. He holds a doctorate in finance and international business from NYU's Stern School of Business. "Our last two reports were remarkably similar to the U.S. Department of Commerce's reports on new home purchases. And the increase in volatility of our Sales Index mirrors the timing of higher volatility in new home purchases," said Ferri.
The B2B Invoice Counts Index treats all invoices with positive amounts due as equivalents. The B2B Customer Counts Index measures the component firms' customer base that generated a given month's invoices.
Ferri commented, "Although invoice dollars were up in the past two months, invoice counts and customer counts were essentially flat compared to May. The recent divergence between invoice dollars and invoice counts suggests inflation may have accelerated in the B2B sector."
Invoice Counts were at 100.0, 99.2, 98.3, 100.2, and 100.3 for May through September, respectively. Customer Counts were at 100.0, 99.5, 98.9, 99.6, and 99.6 for the same months.
"I am encouraged to see Billtrust's additional provision of private-sector data that are relevant to the financial markets," said Tom Sowanick, Co-President & Chief Investment Officer, OmniVest Group LLC. "Given recent developments in Washington and how that affects reporting of economic data, reliable private-sector information is increasingly important."

Its menu of services spans a range of paper and online billing channels for the delivery and payment of invoices and statements.

FLINT -- Dozens of people gathered outside Tanisha Colton's home on Gillespie Street, lifting up prayers and song.
The mother of three was found dead Monday in a ditch in Monroe County's Ash Township. Colton's family had been searching for her after she was last seen March 13.
Michigan State Police have a person of interest in custody in her death.
On Friday, those who loved Colton lit candles and remembered her for being a loving person, hoping to find some closure after what they say has been a nightmare.
"Just remembering her as a great person that she was," Colton's sister Tierra Pope described. "A great mother, a great sister, friend, cousin, just a great person overall."
Margaret Channel, Pope's legal guardian, said she was like a mother to Colton and said she was "hoping that God can take care of [Colton] and rest easy."
A donation account for funeral expenses has been set up through Citizens Bank.

Cardinal Agostino Vallini, the papal vicar for Rome, said the vigil April 30 would include "the precious testimony" of Joaquin Navarro-Valls, the former papal spokesman; Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow, Poland, who was the pope's personal secretary for almost 40 years; and Sister Marie-Simon-Pierre, the member of the Little Sisters of the Catholic Motherhood, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and believes she was cured in 2005 through the intercession of Pope John Paul.

The House resumed the consideration of the bill [H. R. 322] concerning Common Schools.
Mr. MURRAY moved to amend Section 98 by striking out the word "eight" and inserting in lieu thereof the word "seven" per cent. interest.
Mr. MORGAN moved to amend the amendment, viz.: "Not less than 6 nor more than 8 per cent."
Mr. DAVIS offered a substitute by striking out the word "eight" where it occurs and inserting in lieu the word "six."
Mr. MURRAY said: "This amendment simply reduces the rate of interest on the school fund."
Mr. EDWINS--In view of the fact that our Government is loaning its funds at from 4 1/2 per cent. to as low as 3 1/2 per cent., and the legal rate of interest our own State is 6 per cent. I do not think that our school fund, which is loaned amongst ourselves and for the benefit of our smaller class of farmers, ought to be loaned for more than 6 per cent. interest. While I have the greatest respect for the gentleman from Union (Mr. Huston) I can not but be impressed with the fact that the business the gentleman is engaged in precludes the posibility of his supporting the measure under consideration. The business of banking is and always has been at variance with a low rate of interest, and while I concede the fact that a man should at all times look well to his own interest, I do not consider that a Member elected to represent a County on this floor ought to use that position to advance his own interests. Did you ever con- page: 53[View Page 53] sider the difference in the manner of borrowing money from the school fund on one hand and borrowing money from your neighbor and neighboring bank on the other? On the one hand you go to your neighbor, or neighborhood bank, with your personal security on a plain note of hand, and get your money at 6 or 8 per cent. On the other hand, in the first place you have to file with the Auditor the certificate of the Clerk and Recorder that there is no incumbrance on your land, and you pay for that; you must have your little plat of land appraised, and you pay for that; you have a mortage drawn by the Auditor, and you pay for that; you have your mortgage recorded and you pay for that; the Auditor demands his interest in advance, and you pay that. Count all this up, and see if this 8 per cent. don't amount up to 9 or 10 before the mortgage is finally released. Then Mr. Speaker, as money is floating all around us at from 4 to 6 per cent. interest, why should not we loan to our farmers our school fund at 6 per cent. rather than allow it to accumulate on our hands at 8 per cent. and not bring into our school fund any revenue at all?
Mr. STEWART said he was willing that the school money should be loaned at a less rate than money of individuals. He considered it an imperative necessity to loan this fund at a less rate because it requires more stringent security. He favored the substitute because the demand in some Counties is greater than in others, and money can be loaned out in some Counties at 7 per cent. where in others it would lie in the treasury for want of borrowers. It is better to have the money loaned out all the time at a little less rate of interest than to have part of the fund lying idle and another part drawing a high rate of interest.
Mr. WRIGHT was opposed to reducing the rate of interest on this fund, and thought the substitute offered by the gentleman from Vigo [Mr. Morgan], would not do at all, because County Auditors have particular friends to whom they would be very likely to loan this money at a low rate, and those on not so friendly relations with the County Auditor would have an opportunity to pay 8 per cent. He opposed reducing the rate for the other reason that nearly all the money could be loaned at the present rate.
Mr. COMPTON thought it a gain to have all the money loaned out at 6 per cent. than but a portion at a higher rate.
Mr. MORGAN understood that if the County does not succeed in loaning all the money they are responsible for the interest on the full amount anyway. Some thirty or forty Counties have a large amount of this fund on hand which they can not loan. He favored giving the County Auditor discretionary power to loan at 6 or 8 per cent., thus giving as much freedom as possible, which will prevent Counties from paying interest on money not loaned.
Mr. HUSTON did not object to fixing the rate of interest at 7 or 6 per cent., but he considered it a serious objection to allow County Auditors to fix the rate of interest on this fund. There would necessarily have to be some enactment requiring the Auditor to show that the money was loaned at a certain rate. He thought the only wise step to be taken in this matter would be to establish some rate of interest.
Mr. CABBAGE thought 8 per cent. interest was too high a rate for the farmer to pay. He said the House was called upon to say what is just in this matter, rather than what they can compel the farming community to do. He favored a 6 per cent. rate.
Mr. MOODY thought there ought to be a uniform law all over the State, and also a provision by which school funds not loaned in one County may be tranferred to another County where there is a demand for the money.
Mr. MORGAN withdrew his amendment.
Mr. RYAN said there is no difficulty in loaning the school fund at the present rate of interest. The difficulty seemed to be the clause in Section 97 compelling the payment of the interest by the County on the money, whether loaned out or not. There is a solution of that problem, a better one than to charge the rate of interest, which is to change the provision requiring Counties to pay interest on unloaned money.
Mr. RYAN moved to strike out of Section 112 the words "attorneys' fees," also the words "on failure to pay such principal and interest and 2 per centum of damages." He said there is no reason why the borrower of the State of Indiana should pay an attorney for collecting that money.
Mr. COLE hoped the amendment would not prevail, as a party who is to blame for the non-payment of a claim ought to be compelled to pay attorneys' fees. When a man employs an attorney he did not think the State of Indiana ought to pay his attorneys' iees. He believed the section was right as it is.
Mr. MOODY favored the amendment.
Mr. FRAZER--This is a question whether or not the State should be compelled to pay attorneys' fees where the borrower puts the State to costs.
Mr. RYAN thought it no more than right that the State should protect individuals against exorbitant attorneys' fees.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. KAIN offered an amendment to Section 104, providing that the attorney should receive no compensation for examining titles of applicants to the real estate offered for mortgage to secure a loan of the school fund. He said: We have first the certificate of the County Clerk, and also that of the County Recorder to the effect that no incumbrance endangered the real estate offered as security to the State for the use of a small portion of the school fund, the State certainly should feel secure under the certificate of these officers taken directly from the records. And another very serious objection is that to obtain the opinion or approval of the County Attorney will doubtless entail an expense that will render the lending of the funds extremely diffcult, if not defeat it entirely. We regard it impolitic to thus incumber the school funds with such heavy expense as to compel their loan at a low rate of interest, and thus defeat the ends intended to be subserved.
Mr. AKIN-It occurs to me that Section 129 provides for that. There is no necessity for the amendment. It sets the price for each item to be charged. I believe that these fees should be charged. I, therefore, move to lay the amendment on the table.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. CAUTHORNE moved to amend Section 123 by striking out the words "by him." He said the object is simply to leave the debt to be prosecuted by the State of Indiana. If it is a foreclosure the Sheriff is there to do it.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. RYAN moved to amend Section 129 as follows: Change the figures in line two to twenty-five cents, recording mortgages in line three to fifty cents, drawing up mortgages, twenty-five cents, Clerk's certificate in line six, twenty-five 'cents, recording certificate, fifty cents. He could see no good reason why this reduction should not be made. He knew that men who have had experience in loaning money, it took them about fifteen minutes to perform this duty, and by being employed all day there is no telling how much he could make.
Mr. BUSKIRK sa4d there was more work on a school fund mortgage than a common deed, for which the law now allows $1.25. He ought to have at least as much for recording a school mortgage as an ordinary deed. He opposed the amendment.
Mr. FLOYD thought the amendment was about page: 54[View Page 54] right; since the Constitutional Amendments were adopted, we ought to begin to regulate fees and salaries.
Mr. MOODY thought it unwise to maek such a radical change. A good attorney would not give his opinion upon the validity of a paper, leave alone performing labor upon it for the small amount of fifty cents.
Mr. CARTER was opposed to this wholesale reduction. When an abstract of title costs $10, it is beyond all reason to require an attorney to draw up a deed for the small sum of fifty cents.
Mr. BAKER--There is no danger of the officers going to the Poor House by the operation of this amendment. I favor this amendment because it is radically right and ought to pass.
Mr. BUSKIRK moved to amend the amendment by inserting therein "$1.10" for recording mortgages, instead of fifty cents.
Mr. MURRAY--The fees as they stand in this bill are the same as they were twenty years ago. My experience and observation is that they are small enough. This includes the abstract and everything necessary to make it a record. I am opposed to the ameudments.

Motorcycle jackets are of course functional, but they can also create a stylish look. In many places, they can be worn year-round, and you can dress them up or down. On top of that, studded moto jackets are unique and trendy, but they never seem to go out of style. You can get a lot of use out of a single jacket – making a good wardrobe investment.
The biker jackets above have some nice features in addition to the studs, like zippers, pockets and snaps. They are faux leather, which makes them easy to clean and care for. One of them can even be transformed into a vest.
A motorcycle jacket can turn a dull, boring outfit into something cool and sophisticated. They are easy to throw on as you are running out the door, and they make a statement without requiring any fashion sense. They also make really cool gifts.

It's persimmon season — though not for much longer. If you act quickly, you can still pick up the sweet, delicious fruit at your local market.
Typically available October through January, persimmons are prized for their sweet, mellow flavor. They are also rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Originally cultivated in China and Japan, the fruit's most common varieties available in the U.S. are Fuyu and Hachiya.
Similar to apricots or plums in flavor and texture, the Fuyu ripens with sweet undertones of cinnamon while the Hachiya can be quite astringent and bitter before ripening.
The soft, ripe fruit is often pureed into puddings and breads, but a novel use for persimmon puree is in a cocktail. The subtle sweetness is the perfect complement to the lime juice and muddled mint leaves in a mojito. Cheers!
Persimmon pointers
• Choose fruit that is heavy for its size.
• Look for glossy, firm, bright-colored skin.
• Handle with care as they bruise easily.
• Store at room temperature.
Persimmon mojito
Servings: 2, 8-oz. cocktails
Note: To remove the skin from the persimmon, remove green stem, cut two slits with a pairing knife at the top of the fruit and drop in boiling water for about a minute. Remove from water and immediately remove the skin. Discard.
3 tablespoons persimmon puree
Ice cubes, crushed
6 ounces rum
6 to 8 fresh mint leaves, bruised with a mortar and pestle
4 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons simple syrup
Club soda
Lime slices
1 Puree: Remove skin from 1-2 persimmons and puree in a blender or juicer.
2 Mix and shake: Place ice in a beverage shaker, add rum, bruised mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake well and strain over ice into two tall glasses. Add the persimmon puree and combine gently, and top off with club soda. Garnish with lime wedge and mint leaves.

Guest blog by ASPCA President & CEO Matthew Bershadker
The holidays are a big distraction this time of year, but all the more reason to keep our eyes on the ball – and in this case, on neglected horses in need.
As you may know, in November, our Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team traveled to Spokane, Washington, to assist Spokane County Regional Animal Protective Services (SCRAPS) with the sheltering and daily care of 63 horses seized as part of an animal cruelty investigation.
So while many of us were celebrating Thanksgiving, the FIR team was on the ground helping to provide continuing care for these severely neglected animals (among many ASPCA staffers on the job that day). Sixty-two of the horses are responding well to treatment and are in recovery, while one, sadly, did not survive.
The negligent owner is still missing; a hearing to determine custody of the horses will be held on December 16. But our priority continues to be the health and welfare of these animals. We can't undo their suffering, but with your support we can show them care and love, and put them on a brighter path.
Rescuing this many large animals is, of course, no easy task. So my big thanks go to SCRAPS, to the ASPCA field teams who put these horses before their own holidays, and to you as well for making such important work possible.

During the holiday season, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) experiences increased call traffic as pets are exposed to potentially poisonous home décor and holiday snacks. APCC is a call center that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, to provide guidance to pet parents in poison-related emergencies.
Susan, a recent APCC caller, reached out to thank us for helping her through a scary situation with her dog. Polo, a five-year-old Sheltie mix, suffers from separation anxiety. Susan called us immediately after accidentally giving Polo an allergy medication instead of her intended separation anxiety pill. Elizabeth, an APCC technician, and Dr. Monica Overman, an APCC veterinarian, consulted on the case. Thankfully, this particular mix-up was not life-threatening. The APCC team provided Susan with a list of things to monitor and how to treat them should they occur.
"I was so grateful to the ASPCA for having a poison control hotline that I could call," Susan says. "Elizabeth was very calming and really put my mind at ease that evening."
We're happy to report that Polo is doing well at home!

With the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping in full swing, we know you're busy. But if you have a second, we could really use your help. This week, we launched our holiday campaign focusing on puppy mills and why you should never, ever shop at any pet store that sells puppies.
You see, most pet store puppies come from puppy mills—you know, those huge, factory-like breeding operations where dogs live in horrible conditions and never receive love. Every time you buy anything from a pet store that sells puppies, you're actually supporting this very cruel industry. We made a one-minute video that explains how:
We think our video has a really great message and we'd love for it to go viral. That's where you come in. After you watch our video, please share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, and kindly ask them to share it, too. Be sure to use the hashtag #AdoptDontShop. We're counting on you to help us reach millions of people with this important message.
Also, if you're really into helping end puppy mills, sign up for a chance to win a free ASPCA Puppy Mill Advocacy Pack. It contains all sorts of cool gear, including a puppy mill message tote, a puppy mill message tee and more!
Thanks for helping!
Fifteen years ago, Brian and Karen adopted a cat from the ASPCA Adoption Center. Glad to have saved the cat's life, the new parents named him Lucky. Little did they know, they were the lucky ones. Here is their story, as told by Brian:
In April 1998, we fell in love with a young, black male cat at the ASPCA Adoption Center. He was named Tobias at the time, but we renamed him Lucky—because we thought he was lucky to have found his forever home. It soon became apparent that we were equally lucky to have his loving companionship.
He was the sweetest kitty, with a shy but curious disposition. His favorite activity was drinking drippy-water from the faucet. He also liked to walk outside in the snow, not, I think, normal cat behavior! After 15 wonderful years together, Lucky passed away last week.
I thank the ASPCA from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to Lucky. As a token of my appreciation, I have made a Memorial Gift to the ASPCA in his name. To bring me peace over the loss of my beloved Lucky, I am drawn to a quote attributed to Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Have you adopted a pet? Email us your story at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we might feature it on the blog!

Mr. Gibson's bill [H. R. 378] to amend an act to repeal the general laws now in force for the incorporation of cities, providing for the incorporation of cities, etc., approved March 4, 1867, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 72; nays, 0.
The Revision Committee reported on the bill [H. R. 486] concerning grand and petit jurors, recommending its passage with amendments.
The report was concurred in, and the bill was read the second time.
Mr. BENHAM moved to amend by adding "Provided that the several drawing jurors provided for in this act shall be in the presence of the Sheriff and Auditor of the County.'
Mr. BENHAM said in support of his amendment that the bill was designed to provide for non-partisan Juries, and under the bill without the amendment the Clerk who desired could draw from the box his party friends, and thereby defeat the object of the bill, but should the amendment prevail such a course could not be accomplished; and he hoped the amendment would prevail.
Mr. LINSDAY said: I believe the amendment to be a good one, and ought to go in. When the Sheriff does the drawing there ought to be somebody present. There certainly can be no harm in having the Sheriff and Auditor by.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. KENNER moved to suspend the constitutional rule that the bill be considered engrossed, read the third time and put upon its passage.
The motion was agreed to--yeas, 67; nays, 14.
The bill was read the third time and passed--yeas, 59; nays, 19.
Mr. Sumner's bill [H. R. 306] revoking certain acts of the Board of Trustees of Center Township, Marshall County, was read a third time.
Mr. SUMNER said the men for whom this relief is asked are men of limited means. They have paid their full rate of assurety upon this mortgage. The tax-payers of my Township have felt interest enough in these parties to ask this honorable body to grant this relief. The petition that has been sent up to us is signed by H. G. Thayer, a heavy tax-payer of our County; also by all three bankers and the leading farmers, and I ask you as a matter of justice and equity to give your vote in favor of this bill.
Mr. WOLF said he knew most of the parties signing this petition, and knew that they were not prompted by a political motive.
Mr. FANCHER said he was personally acquainted with this matter and thought the relief should be granted, as the Township has been reimbursed by taxation.
The bill passed--yeas, 69; nays. 6.
Mr. Wright's bill [H. R. 334] to amend Section 28 of an act providing for the election and qualification of Justice of the Peace, defining their jurisdiction, duties, powers, etc., in civil cases, approved June 9, 1852, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 73; nays, 0.
Mr. Huston's bill [H. R. 136] to appropriate $60,000 to pay the indebtedness of the State Board of Agriculture was read the third time.
Mr. HUSTON--This bill provides that the Agricultural Society shall issue $60,000 worth of bonds, which shall bear 6 per cent. interest annually, and be secured by mortgage upon the Agricultural grounds. Said new bonds shall be due in ten years, but redeemable in five years, at option of Board--sixty days notice having been given; also, authorizes T. A. W. Davis, Trusteee, to whom a mortgage second in effect was given to secure a debt of $25,000, due the State, to return the same to the State and allow first mortgage to be given for $60,000 loan, and then taking new second mortgage to secure the amount due the State. The bill also appropriates the sum of $4,000 for 1881, and like sum for 1882, out of general fund for paying of interest on the $60,000.
Mr. MEREDITH said the State Agricultural Society first asked for an appropriation of $60,000, and afterward changed their views with reference to it, and they now ask simply for a loan of $60,000. It leaves the State in the same condition as it is now, and allows the State Agricultural Association to make a new loan.
The bill passed--yeas, 54; nays, 18.
Senator Voyle's bill [S. 72] in relation to the 3 per cent. fund remaining unexpended, authorizing its application for repair of roads, was read the third time.
Mr. MITCHELL said this bill applies, perhaps, only to Washington County. This bill simply has reference to the 3 per cent. fund appropriated by the United States.
In 1816 the United States passed an act giving to the State of Indiana certain lands for the purpose of internal improvements for making, and preparing roads, building, purhasing, and so on. We have between $5,000 and $6,000 in our Treasury and it has never been put out; and I want to get that money out upon our roads. It is used there as a kind of accommodation fund. It is discretionary with the County Commisioners to put out this fund. This act will make it obligatory upon the Commissioners to distribute this money among the Townships of the County. In 1874 there was the sum of $6,380.85 allowed and paid by the United States to the State of Indiana. Instead of paying that money to the different Counties of the State, it was put into the general fund, and the Counties of the State have not received any benefit from it.
Mr. BUSKIRK--I have some doubts as to whether this money can be distributed for this purpose. In order that this bill will have a fair showing I move that it be made a special order for next Tuesday at 9 a. m.
The motion was agreed to.
The SPEAKER announced the regular order to be consideration of the bill [H. R. 271] civil proceeding.
The reading was resumed, commencing at Section 288.
Mr. CAUTHORNE moved to amend to strike out all of Section 317 of the printed bill. He said: This section applies to taking depositions orally, requiring a notice of the name of the person whose deposition is to be taken.
The amendment was adopted.
The House adjourned till to-morrow.

Our local producers are total rock stars. Their creativity, ingenuity and absolutely delightful products are a constant source of inspiration for us. Judging by sales, we know they are a favorite of yours, too! Helping them do more became a goal for Whole Foods Market a few years ago and as of this month, we've funded more than $5 million in low-interest loans through our Local Producer Loan Program to help them grow their businesses. To celebrate the $5 million mark, we're giving away a basket filled with culinary treasures from several of our loan recipients! This is your chance to experience some of the fabulous products made by passionate small producers that aren't available in your neck of the woods. Just post a comment below by October 21 telling us what your favorite local product is and why, and you'll have a chance to win! We'll choose one lucky commenter at random to receive the basket. The basket full of goodies will include an assortment of samples from some great local producers. Here's who is contributing to the basket and what they make:
When Whole Foods Market first opened its doors as a small natural and organic retailer in 1980, local producers were the lifeblood of our business. 30 years and more than 300 stores later, that fact still rings true. We know what it feels like to be a small business with a big vision and understand that local businesses (even with the highest quality products and a strong business plan) sometimes need a hand to turn their dreams into reality. In 2007, we launched the Local Producer Loan Program with a commitment to fund up to $10 million dollars in low-interest loans to provide local producers with access to the tools and resources they need to expand their businesses. Whether it's helping our local partners purchase more animals, invest in new equipment or convert to organic production, we want to help them ALL shine. Best of all, supporting local business means keeping money in the pockets of growers in the communities we serve. So what's your favorite local product and why? Post your comment by October 21 and take advantage of your chance to try these local favorites while you can!

Of course what makes this blog really exciting is YOU — so join the conversation!

about the exhibition
International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 07.1
Glenn Kaino
Los Angeles, CA
March 08–May 13, 2007
about the artistGlenn Kaino's kinetic sculptures transform familiar objects and activities to explore the complexities of time, the juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane, and the dialectic of ancient and contemporary culture. In Desktop Operation: There's no place like Home (10th Example of Rapid Dominance: Em City) (2003), he created an oversized sandcastle (inspired by his brother's desktop Zen garden) in the shape of the Emerald City, Oz's shining illusion of industrial success. The concept not only satirizes a capitalist executive's superficial quest for momentary distraction and meditation, but also suggests the tension between willful intention and an uncontrollable outcome.
Glenn Kaino lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, where he was born in 1972. He received his MFA from the University of California, San Diego, CA, in 1996. The Project, New York, NY, mounted solo exhibitions of his work in 2005 and 2003, and a two-person show was presented at Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theatre, Los Angeles, CA (2003). Recent group exhibitions include Cerca Series, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA (2004); the Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY (2004); and Blackbelt, The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, NY (2003).
about the project
Glenn Kaino's Artpace project is centered around Quarter Mile (2007), a three-channel video installation that distorts the rhythm of several ambitious competitors whose renown in their respective professions is a function of their ability to perform at a distinct speed. Each is presented on a separate screen traveling the same physical distance—a quarter of a mile; however, at any one time, two are sped up or slowed down to match the tempo of the third. Kaino's cameras follow jazz singer Olu Dara along an infamous stretch of 125th Street in Harlem, race car driver Kenji Yamanaka speeding past the site of a celebrated automobile wreck, and Olympic athlete Sinjin Smith sprinting away from where a destructive storm has hit. Each transcends the past, arriving at the finish line only to begin again. The film's constant stretching, compressing, and replaying of time exemplifies the discrepancy between expectation and actuality.
Another component of Kaino's project, entitled We Will Breathe Later (2007), keeps time from moving forward. The piece features three hourglasses spinning at a specific velocity that prevents their symbolically charged contents from sifting downward. One of the hourglasses is filled with sand from the explosive Middle East, another with soil from capitalist Texas, and the third with grains of black silicon (an element used to make computers). Kaino has channeled the dogged revolutionary spirit of the title, which is a phrase from the student riots of May 1968 in Paris, as the work metaphorically accomplishes the physically impossible: along with time, it arrests the acceleration of military imperialism, industrialism, and technology.
The gestures in Glenn Kaino's Artpace installation are informed by his personal understanding of history, power, and science, but also by the work of urban theorist Paul Virilio, who has proposed that the logic of speed (dromology) is the foundation of technological society, and that the negative consequences (accidents) increase with society's speed. Kaino's works acknowledge the role of time in shaping our understanding of the world, while challenging time's seemingly fixed nature. Thus, he empowers each of us, suggesting that we are, ultimately, agents of our own experience.

Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
(WENN) - Nicki Minaj is hoping to spread a little Thanksgiving cheer by returning to her Queens, New York elementary school to give away turkeys.
The singer returned to her old neighborhood on Monday to hand out free turkeys to locals hit hard by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy and she admits she had mixed feelings about the charity drive.
Shortly before her trip back to Queens, Minaj said, "I have no idea if my teachers are still there. One of my teachers that was there, I still keep in contact with her, and she lost, like, everything in Hurricane Sandy.
"I'm hoping I can see and help as many people as possible."

Adopt-A-Family gift distribution to take place Dec. 17
Donations are currently being accepted to assist families unable, in many cases, to afford even basic necessities, much less Christmas gifts. In addition to warm clothing, food, school supplies and beds, this year's "most desired items" list includes blankets, toiletries, cleaning supplies, shoes, etc., especially in children's sizes 2T to 16.
"And let's not forget the wish list of the children for toys, including board games, bikes, dolls, hot wheels --- the list goes on and on," said Lydia Gamboa, Adopt-A-Family program coordinator.
"A number of families are facing the difficulties of being laid off from jobs or hours cut," added Gamboa, who along with 20 volunteers interviews prospective recipients, a process that begins in late August each year.
"It's so sad to hear parents asking for blankets or warm clothes to keep their children warm for the upcoming winter. This year we have heard stories of families behind in rent and utilities and telling us they hope things get better for them in 2012 as this year has been so very hard."
Adopt-A-Family is seeking financial donations, said Gamboa, and offers a variety of "sponsorship" opportunities, in which donors may finance basic needs, sponsor individual families, or underwrite a "gift box" that includes two weeks' worth of food, practical hygiene and cleaning supplies, blankets, clothing and special presents for each member of the family.
Also needed are volunteers for the Dec. 17 delivery day who have large vehicles and trucks to deliver gifts to the recipient families who live in or near downtown Los Angeles. Volunteers gather for distribution at 7 a.m., starting with a prayer service at the Cathedral, led by Archbishop José Gomez, who will then join the volunteers in the delivery of the gifts.
Msgr. Terrance Fleming, director of the Adopt-A-Family Program since 1990, has always stated that his goal was to provide "a magical Christmas" for children living in the downtown and skid row area of Los Angeles.
"Seeing the faces of the children as the volunteers knock at their doors, we know that his goal has been met," said Gamboa, also involved since the program's inception.
"As Christians," she continued, "we are called to bring hope to the hopeless. We are called to shine Christ's light into the darkness. The Adopt-A-Family Program was created in response to this call. Through the sacrifices of children and adults alike, the program has brought hope, through the Light of Christ, to families struggling to survive in our city's darkest streets."
In the coming weeks, The Tidings will feature profiles of families in need. For information on how to assist, call (213) 637-7501 or visit www.olacathedral.org and click on the Adopt-A-Family link. Donations can be sent to: Adopt-A-Family, 3424 Wilshire Blvd., 3rd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90010; please make checks payable to Adopt-A-Family.

Genetic Variation: A Laboratory Manual is the first compendium of protocols specifically geared towards genetic variation studies, and includes thorough discussions on their applications for human and model organism studies. Intended for graduate students and professional scientists in clinical and research settings, it covers the complete spectrum of genetic variationfrom SNPs and microsatellites to more complex DNA alterations, including copy number variation. Written and edited by leading scientists in the field, the early sections of the manual are devoted to study design and generating genotype data, the use of resources such as HapMap and dbSNP, as well as experimental, statistical, and bioinformatic approaches for analyzing the data. The final sections include descriptions of genetic variation in model organisms and discussions of recent insights into human genetic ancestry, forensics, and human variation.
Not only did this editorial team assemble an impressive group of accomplished scientists as authors, but they produced a book of broad scope, covering a wide range of topics. In fact, it is the amazing breadth of this book that will ensure its relevance for some time to come.
This manual is relevant on many different levels and will no doubt provide any interested reader with a wealth of useful information. I for one have added this book to my collection of references on carrying out genetic studies on the underlying causes of disease and drug response in human and mouse populations. Nature Genetics
This is an edited volume that seeks to provide specialists with a guide to the study of genetic variation in the age of genomics. It will be most appealing to anyone studying human genetic variation since this is the primary area of coverage, although other model systems are touched upon. A strength of the book is its conciseness, which is achieved by limiting the contents to basic introductions of the issues and citing more comprehensive references. The Quarterly Review of Biology

Products: Coffee Makers
Recommended Hamilton Beach® Product: BrewStation® Coffeemaker with Flavor Dispenser
Serves: 1
Recipe and photo courtesy of Torani®.
Test Kitchen Tip: Try this recipe using your Torani® Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup and other delicious flavored syrups. We recommend using the BOLD setting on your BrewStation for making stronger coffee that gives a more "authentic" coffeehouse flavor. Each pump of your flavor dispenser will provide about 1/3 ounce of syrup. We like 3 to 4 pumps of syrup in an 8 ounce cup of coffee, but adjust each of the recipes to the amount of sweetness you like.

Willie and Uncle Bill
by Amy Schwartz (Holiday House)
Three stories about a boy and an uncle it would be hard not to love are charmingly told, in a style that makes this both a fun read-aloud and a good choice for new readers. This first story is about a hair disaster and the typically imperfect solution. by the second tale, we're sure of the bond between the uncle and nephew, so are glad when the mother leaves them on the story's first page, and we follow them meeting a variety of people and animals in the city neighborhood. The third is the liveliest of all: after playing with toy trains and rockets, and reading a few books, Uncle Bill helps Willie on with his sweatshirt, takes him through the subway, and introduces him to a garage band, where Willie gets to sing, shout, stomp, do splits, and play guitar. There's a homey, happy feel to the bright illustrations, showing a family that is both timeless and unique.

Madalena Andreatta
Born Sept. 25, 1924 in Westwood, Calif., Lena died peacefully in her daughters' arms on March 9, 2012 in Reno, Nev.
Lena is the daughter of immigrant parents from Northern Italy, Prudenza Della Piazza and Antonio Bottini. The family moved to Susanville when Lena was 2 years old, and she remained in the family home until her death. After graduation from Lassen High School, she attended cosmetology school in Oakland, Calif., then returned to Susanville to pursue her "beautician" career. After working for several salons, she decided to go into business for herself. She owned/operated her own beauty salon in the Hotel Mt. Lassen.
In 1946, her lifelong friend Dina Fiora introduced Lena to Primo Andreatta. They married on Sept. 22, 1947. This union produced three children, Katherine, Madeline and James.
In 1959, the family moved to Reno to co-own/operate the successful, internationally acclaimed Italian restaurant, Siri's, on East Fourth Street.Primo was host and bartender, while Erildo Siri and Lena ran the kitchen. Lena was famous for her sautéed chicken livers and Blu cheese dressing.
In 1976, Siri's closed and Lena and Primo moved back to the family home in Susanville. They opened "Primo Deli." Lena's homemade spaghetti meat sauce, all of her salads, deli sandwiches and San Francisco specialty deli items were a "hit." Soon after selling the deli, they joint ventured with daughter Madeline and her husband Bill Kerns, of Reno, in the Black Rock Tavern (The BRT) and the Western Room in the Hotel Mt. Lassen.
Our cherished family moments were what mattered most to Lena, with the delicious smells of great Italian cooking in the air and hungry Italians anxiously awaiting the feast.
Primo and Lena traveled four times to "The Old Country," Italy, to see relatives. Lena was a very proud and often a stubborn woman, which was both a blessing and a curse, but of all her attributes, she was faithful to her family and friends.
Surviving are daughters, Katherine Andreatta and Madeline Kerns; son, James Andreatta; six grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; as well as her brother, Francesco "Frank" Bottini, and sisters-in-law Beula and Margie Bottini, nieces and nephews, and Kim Brown, her devoted Goddaughter.

She married Ralph Freeman on July 13, 1940 in Reno, Nev. and lived in Crescent Mills, Calif. They have three children, Lily, Merry and Robert. They lived in Greenville where she worked at the Indian Valley Hospital for 20 years until she retired.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, Ralph, and by two daughters, Merry Britt and Lily Hamby.

Robert DeWayne Olson
Robert (Bob) passed away Thursday, March 8, 2012 at his home, fighting a long battle with diabetes related to Agent Orange from Vietnam. Bob was born June 19, 1947 at Wilshire Hospital in Los Angeles to Floyd and Betty Olson.

Bob's true love was the forest and his great concern for the environment. Bob's forest service career has spanned 30 years and includes five national forests and three regions, from Hot Shot to Smokejumper to Incident Commander, Fire Historian and during his retirement years, author; Bob has just about covered it all. Whether people know it or not, foresters now and in the future will benefit from his hard work and insight and so will the lands he managed and loved.

Bob enjoyed fly fishing, and hiking throughout Bridgeport, Calif. He truly loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them.
Bob is survived by his wife of 38 years, Arlene; daughters, Tamara and Shannon; son, Kyle, and five grandchildren.
Prior to his passing his last words were, "I am heading over the mountain." There will be a celebration of his life at a later date. Donations can be made to Camp Ronald McDonald at Eagle Lake in his memory.

Panthers first-year general manager Dave Gettleman had a busy Friday. Gettleman, hired in January to succeed Marty Hurney, put the finishing touches on a contract restructuring for tight end Greg Olsen and released veteran defensive tackle Ron Edwards before jetting to New Jersey to visit his family, which has yet to relocate to Charlotte. But Gettleman is just getting started. With the Panthers still an approximate $3.5 million over the $123 million salary cap, Gettleman has at least one more move to make to get under the cap by the March 12 deadline. He then will begin shaping the roster, although the former Giants pro personnel director lacks the cap room to make too big a splash in his first free agency as a GM.
