The first brewery in Massachusetts emerged not long after the Pilgrims dropped anchor, owing to the fact that beer was safer to drink than the water. Though the Pilgrims were aiming for Virginia, they ran out of brew and stopped in Massachusetts -- thus a beer town was born.
Eventually, Boston was blessed with a number of microbreweries, including the best-selling craft brewer in America, Boston Beer Co. -- producer of Samuel Adams -- and Harpoon Brewery. Notable hits on the bar crawl include Cambridge and Cape Ann Brewing Cos., Deep Ellum and The Publick House, alongside historic pubs like Green Dragon, The Warren Tavern (Boston's oldest) and Sunset Grill & Tap.
With this lively scene, it's not hard to believe that Boston consumes the most beer per capita in the United States. It's also home to the American Craft Beer Fest, the East Coast's largest celebration of domestic micros, featuring 600+ varieties from 125+ American brewers.

5. Denver
History: 7 Breweries: 8 Bars: 7 Events: 8
Colorado is fourth out of 50 states in breweries per capita, and while there are only a handful in Denver proper, there are loads of notable breweries outside town and in nearby Boulder.
Neighborhoods like Platte Street and the Art District on Santa Fe are peppered with breweries. Elsewhere you'll find Avery, Renegade, New Belgium, Strange Brewing, Dry Dock and others, including Bull & Bush, which writer Steve Body declared "may well be America's best brewpub and restaurant."
Denver's first craft brewery, Wynkoop, was opened in 1988 by John Hickenlooper, who went on to become mayor, then governor, extending Denver's brewer reach to the highest levels of government. Both Wynkoop and Great Divide are a moon shot from Coors Field, and homemade beers at Blue Moon Brewing Co. are found just behind section 112 in left field.
The Mile-High City also stages what is widely regarded the largest, most prestigious beer festival in the country, the annual Great American Beer Festival, drawing sudsmeliers from all over the world to taste more than 2,200 brews.

6. Philadelphia
History: 9 Breweries: 6 Bars: 8 Events: 7
In the city of brewery love, outfits like Victory, Sly Fox, Nodding Head, Yards and Flying Fish have been vanguards of local brewing since the city's barley rush of the 1990s. And since 1860, McGillin's Olde Ale House has been a beloved showcase for those and other local brews longer than any in Philly.
Three less-ancient bars made Draft mag's top 100 -- Eulogy Belgian Tavern, Grey Lodge Public House and Memphis Taproom, which enjoys a sterling reputation despite an endorsement by Guy Fieri. And no beer itinerary is complete without writer Michael Jackson's favorite spot, Monk's Cafe, a love letter to Belgian (and other) brews that will awe the savviest palate.
Philly Beer Week is the city's most hoppening event, but the Greater Northeast Philadelphia Beer Festival, begun in 2011, is already proving a worthy companion. One caveat to all this beer-fueled euphoria: complicated state controls regulate the purchase of packaged beer. Don't let them kill your buzz.

7. Bend, Oregon
History: 5 Breweries: 8 Bars: 8 Events: 8
With one brewery for every 9,111 people, descriptors for Bend include "beervana" and "Beer City, USA." And that number is constantly changing, with newcomers like Crux Fermentation Project and Worthy Brewing Company recently fattening Bend's ranks.
Already cemented into Bend beer culture is Deschutes, the godfather of local craft brewing, which recently expanded its flagship location. The Ale Apothecary, like its name suggests, blends modern and old-fashioned brewing techniques for what they're calling Bend's only steampunk brewery.
Getting your beer passport stamped at all nine of participating breweries on the Bend Ale Trail will net you a prize, and dog lovers will appreciate Boneyard Beer, where they can try the world's first organic, non-alcoholic brew made for dogs, Dawg Grogg.
Your itinerary's bound to overlap at least one of Bend's annual beer celebrations, like Central Oregon Beer Week, The Little Woody Barrel-Aged Brew & Whiskey Festival, Bend BrewFest, The Fermentation Celebration and Bend Oktoberfest.

Meet Dr. Kayla Peak
Dr. Kayla Peak, assistant professor of kinesiology and director of the kinesiology graduate program, also serves as a faculty fellow in the Center for Instructional Innovation at Tarleton. Peak has redesigned her courses so that each has an applied learning component which challenges students to become active, engaged participants in their learning experience.
Dr. Peak received the Texas A&M University System Excellence in Teaching award in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and has also been awarded Tarleton's Jack and Louise Arthur Award in 2011, which recognizes excellence in the classroom. Most recently she was honored as the 2012 University Physical Educator of the Year by the Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (TAHPERD), a state organization promoting excellence in teaching in those four areas.
Known for two very special events on campus - Fantastic Field Day and Rock the Gym which are designed specifically for area public school students with physical and cognitive disabilities – Dr. Peak takes a moment to answer questions about her passion for teaching and for Tarleton..
What motivates you to teach?
My motivation comes from witnessing the 'aha' moments as students gain insight and inspiration about the course material and are able to actively apply this newfound wisdom to their lives! I am constantly experimenting with innovative methods for providing instruction which will meaningfully engage the students in the academic material. I want my students to develop a passion for learning so that they can become solid professionals in the Kinesiology industry.
What have been your most memorable moments while teaching at Tarleton State University?
Honestly, it is all about the daily interaction with the students. I enjoy helping the students prepare for their future and am thrilled beyond measure when former students call to let me know about their successes. It's a great day when I can celebrate the achievement of our students. By the way, I am fortunate to have many great days!!!
Who inspires you and why?
I am inspired by all those I come in contact with on a daily basis. Witnessing ordinary people embrace their days with extraordinary purpose and passion inspires me to be a little kinder, try a harder, and stay focused on my journey in life.
Name and explain one thing that most people would be surprised to know about you?
I have spent the last few months researching Peak Bagging which is an attempt to summit the highest mountain peaks. By 2015, I hope to have hiked to the summit of the highest mountain in each of the 50 states. I have mapped out five peaks to bag during Spring Break!
What is your favorite Tarleton tradition and why?
Our university is steeped in rich tradition which creates a sense of loyalty and pride in all those who embrace the Tarleton spirit. My favorite Tarleton tradition is the Purple Poo. Unlike other traditions, the Poo are distinctive and unique to our campus. Outsiders may stare in wonderment when they witness the crazy spirit antics of the Poo while those in the Tarleton family smile and nod in understanding.
Dr Peak received both her bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education from Tarleton and completed her doctoral degree in physical education and recreation at A&M-Commerce in 1995. She promises to keep us posted and share photos of her Peak Bagging experiences through Tarleton Focus on the university's home page.

Case Report EDS type IV |
Case Report, Vascular-Interventional Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV By Karl S. Chiang, MD; Bobby C. Walters, Jr., MD Applied Radiology Online The patient is a 13-year-old boy who was seen in another hospital's emergency department after awakening at night with an episode of sharp "stabbing" chest pain. The pain involved the left shoulder and caused shortness of breath. A chest X-ray revealed mediastinal widening, and a contrast-enhanced CT of the chest (Figure 1A) showed diffuse mediastinal soft-tissue densities, especially around the aorta. He was subsequently transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Admission history and physical examination were notable only for premature birth and pneumonia at 6 months of age, as well as a slightly asymmetrical chest with prominence of the left hemithorax. At this point, Hodgkin's lymphoma was the working diagnosis and fine needle aspiration was performed under CT guidance. The specimen obtained was not diagnostic and a thoracoscopic/open biopsy was scheduled to be performed in 2 days. He was transferred to the general pediatric floor but had to return to the PICU on the following day because of dyspnea and a mild increase in neck swelling. His cardiac examination remained normal. Diagnosis: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV Imaging findings: A repeat chest CT identified an "outpouching of the aorta" (Figure 1B), which was not present on the previous study. A thoracic aortagram confirmed a defect in the left lateral-posterior aorta below the left subclavian origin without evidence of dissection or diffuse aneurysmal dilation (Figure 2). Initially, the defect was believed to represent a pseudoaneurysm with tumor encasing the aortic arch and descending aorta. Additional medical history, pursued after the aortogram, revealed that approximately 1 year earlier the patient had complained of severe chest pain, bruising of the right chest and neck, and coolness of his right arm for 1 to 2 weeks after throwing a ball. At this point, a connective tissue disorder was entertained as a cause of the leaking aortic pseudoaneurysm with hematoma. Thoracic aorta repair was scheduled, as the patient's hemoglobin had been decreasing. An MRI was planned for the following morning. During the night, however, an increase in his left pleural effusion with associated left lung collapse prompted an emergency MRI/MR angiography. This study showed an intramural hematoma of the descending aorta (Figure 3A) as well as a defect in the posterior wall of the aorta (Figure 3B), which is consistent with that found on the CT scan that was obtained earlier (Figure 1B). A right subclavian artery occlusion was also noted. CASE FOLLOW-UP The patient was taken to surgery the morning the MRI was performed and a tubular Dacron graft was placed distal to the left subclavian take-off to approximately 3 cm above the diaphragm. On the first postoperative morning, he had massive bleeding via his endotracheal tube followed by bradycardia and loss of 700 mL of blood via left chest tubes, subsequent to inflation of a pulmonary artery catheter balloon for cardiac output measurement. Rupture of the pulmonary artery was suspected. He was resuscitated. In the ensuing 24 hours he developed acute respiratory distress syndrome, requiring high-frequency jet ventilation, and renal failure, requiring dialysis. Despite inotropic and pressor support, and hemodialysis, he died on the third postoperative day. Autopsy revealed findings consistent with a suspected connective tissue disorder. Discussion: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a disorder of connective tissue that can be classified into at least ten types on the basis of clinical, genetic, and biochemical information.1 Type IV is the most severe form of EDS and is also known as the ecchymotic-arterial variant. In these patients there is virtually always a defect in the synthesis, secretion, or structure of type III collagen. This form of collagen is most abundant in skin, large arteries, and hollow organs.2,3 Therefore, patients with EDS type IV are at significant risk for uterine rupture during pregnancy, gastrointestinal rupture, and, most frequently, arterial rupture. Clinically, this disorder is characterized by thin, translucent skin with a prominent venous network and a tendency toward easy bruising. Characteristic facial features are often present and include large, excavated eyes and a thin pinched nose. Their hands and feet are often acrogeric and there is minimal joint hypermobility, no skin hyperextensivity, and normal scarring.4,5 There is no known medical treatment to increase the production of type III collagen. However, ascorbic acid (1 to 2 grams per day) may increase the synthesis of collagen and therefore provide slightly more of the normal type III collagen. Those affected typically die during the third to fifth decade of life; survival beyond 50 years of age is rare.6 Vascular complications, as a result of the collagen defect in the walls of vessels, include aneurysms, dissections, varicosities, and arteriovenous fistulas; ruptures are the most severe complication.7 There is a 50% rate of perforation of large and medium-sized arteries.7 Rupture of nonaneurysmal arteries are more likely to result in death, such as in this case, as compared with rupture of known aneurysms.8 Unfortunately, the diagnosis of EDS type IV is often unsuspected at clinical presentation. Only 16% of patients with EDS type IV are known to have the diagnosis before presentation with a vascular complication.9 Ideally, early diagnosis and surgical treatment could improve short-term outcomes. Stent-graft repair of pseudoaneuryms may be attempted, but ligation may be more effective and definitive.10 This patient's diagnosis was made early due to the history obtained from the patient's family and good cross-sectional imaging. This resulted in successful surgical repair, which was performed in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, the patient's death was caused by the rupture of another nonaneurysmal pulmonary artery, as is often the case with EDS type IV. 1. Nerlich AG.

Navy Beats Army for the 11th Year Straight
12/9/2012, 8:55 p.m.
Philadelphia, known as 'The City of Brotherly Love,' showed no love to the Army Black Knights when their quest to capture the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy was ended by a missed field goal and fumbled away during the 113th Army-Navy game at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, Dec. 9.
The Black Knights conquered the Midshipman in first downs (26-18), rushing yards (370-167), and total offense yards (418-297). That, however, was not enough to end their 11-year losing streak against the Midshipman. Going into the fourth quarter the Black Knights led the Midshipman by 3, and looked pretty good as they moved the ball down field, but could not hold on to the lead.
With 6 minutes and 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Black Knights missed a critical field goal, and Navy freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds went to work connecting with slotback Geoffrey Whiteside, for 10 yards. Three plays later he connected with wide receiver Brandon Turner for a 49 yard gain placing the Midshipman 8 yards away from victory. During the next play QB Keenan Reynolds rushed 8 yards into the end zone. The final score of the game -- Navy 17 Army 13.

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: British, Irish, & Commonwealth Poets)
The Englishness of Philip Arthur Larkin's poetry is decidedly provincial; his England does not revolve around London, and in fact, there is a marked suspicion of the capital and the cosmopolitan urbanity it represents. From his diction to the frequency with which his speakers are seated in cars or trains traveling through the countryside, his poems reflect the provincialism of his life. Larkin was born August 9, 1922, in Coventry, where his father served as city treasurer throughout his childhood. He described his childhood as a bore and not worth mentioning, suggesting that no biography of him need begin before he turned twenty-one. Although he was not a particularly good student at the King Henry VII School in Coventry, he matriculated at St. John's College, Oxford, in 1940, hoping to get in a year of school before he was called into the military. As it eventually turned out, he failed his army physical and stayed in college, graduating with first-class honors in 1943. His time at Oxford had a profound effect on the youthful Larkin; in the introduction to Jill, he suggests that the war radically diminished the students' grand view of themselves, and this sense of reduced importance stuck with him in his poetry. Perhaps even more crucial to his development, though, were his friendships with budding writers Bruce Montgomery (Edmund Crispin) and Kingsley Amis. The Amis-Larkin friendship seems to have influenced both men, and their early writings share...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Philip Arthur Larkin was born in Coventry, England, on August 9, 1922, the son of Sydney and Eva Emily Day Larkin. His bookish father was city treasurer. Larkin tended to dismiss his Coventry childhood as uneventful but recalled that during the 1930's he "wrote ceaselessly," both prose and verse, while attending King Henry VIII School. As a youth, he kept booklets of his writings—a practice he followed throughout his life, later using typescripts—and published poems in his school magazine, The Coventrian. At St. John's College, Oxford, he earned the B.A. with distinction in English literature (1943) and then the M.A. (1947). He failed his physical for military service in World War II. Close friends at Oxford encouraged his literary efforts, and in his mid-twenties he published the novels Jill (1946, 1964) and A Girl in Winter (1947). Though Larkin at first wanted to be a novelist and much later said he found novels "richer, broader, deeper, more enjoyable than poems," poetry proved to be his real vocation. Influenced by the English poet W. H. Auden and, after 1943, by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats, Larkin published verses at Oxford and brought out The North Ship (1945, 1966), poems that revealed a solitary persona and gained little notice. Larkin later "disowned" the book but allowed its reissue.
Larkin's poems from the late 1940's were the first in his new, representative voice—"less...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Though an Oxford graduate and university librarian, Philip Larkin is not "academic." Acclaimed by scholars and general readers alike, Larkin is a principal English poet of the post-World War II era. Formally conservative, his poems nonetheless adapt colloquial talk and explore contemporary life. His persona's voice is sad, ironic, balanced, wise, witty, stoic, and capable of surprise. Missing access to the fulfillments of love or faith that others may have, the poet/voyeur looks out wistfully onto the world—but not far into the heavens. Critical discussion of Larkin after 1955 as a part of The Movement in English literature acknowledges his pragmatic rejection of the excesses of both Romanticism and modern experimentation.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Philip Arthur Larkin has been called the best poet laureate England never had, for after John Betjeman's death in 1984, a 30 percent plurality of 120 poets surveyed by The Times of London favored Larkin's appointment to the post. Having not issued a book of poetry in the previous ten years and having written barely one hundred pages of mature verse in his lifetime, Larkin expressed his terror at the prospect of having to write ceremonial verse. Consequently Ted Hughes was appointed.
Larkin was the son of Sydney and Eva Emily (Day) Larkin. His father was city treasurer of Coventry. Larkin claimed that his childhood was so boring that a biography of him would have to begin when he was twenty-one or even thirty-one, for he spent much of his youth reading, often a book a day, to the neglect of schoolwork, and playing board games. He later attended the University of Oxford, where he met Kingsley Amis in the spring of 1941, beginning a close friendship that spanned the rest of his life.
Larkin's first book of poems, The North Ship, written when he was a student, displays Symbolist-inspired verse and the clear influence of William Butler Yeats. Despite its early schoolboy romanticism, the volume establishes a central theme of everyday reality as a foothold for the spirit. Larkin's Oxford experiences are also the basis for...

The world of agriculture today
Agriculture in Wallonia is evolving along the same lines as elsewhere in Europe. Beside production activities, the need to manage rural areas and maintain the quality of the environment is giving rise to a whole string of new activities. At the administrative level, it is the regional authorities that have had full responsibility for these activities since 2002, acting as the interface between the farmers and the constantly updated European directives. This interface role extends beyond the complex organisation required to distribute farming subsidies and includes management of the various agri-environmental interests, such as the preservation of ecosystems, maintenance of landscape diversity, conservation of the local rural heritage and sustainable agriculture.
Geomatics is extremely useful for such large-scale planning. It serves as an aid in developing the tools needed for supervision, monitoring and decision-making. Drawing on the expertise of four research centres, the SAGRIWATEL project integrated remote sensing alongside other information systems with the aim of developing applications of practical use in the fi eld. These applications give access to valuable information on the agri-environmental practices that farmers can adopt, such as the optimal location of fi eld borders, the crop succession and rotation, possible use of vegetation cover in winter, or the correct quantities of nitrogenous fertilizer to be used in maize fi elds. In return, the compilation of these material data can also serve to usefully support the agricultural world in a broader frame.

Toulouse-Lautrec: The greatest thing you'll ever learnis just to love and be loved in return.
"Why do gay men often chide other men who say they're attracted to both men and women? It's the most hypocritical thing. Obviously some people who are really gay say they're bi because they're afraid of admitting the full truth, but that doesn't mean there aren't millions of people who are legitimately attracted to both sexes. And to make fun of or refute someone's claims about their own sexuality without any actual cause for doubt is not just mean, it's the EXACT thing that has caused most people who aren't some anguish. He's only 19, a public figure, and against the advice of loved ones, had the courage to come out publicly. Alot of people aren't even brave enough to come out to their families. This is what he is dealing with. Let's show some solidarity."--- James would like it if we took diver Tom Daley's coming out announcement with sugar, not spice. I concur.

In 1822 Clement Clarke Moore wrote The Night before Christmas for his own children. Now, of course, his poem is read aloud to children around the world who are anticipating Santa's arrival.
This Christmas Eve tradition calls for the treat of Julie Downing's wondrous visual rendition. Her jewel-toned watercolors, vibrant with rich Victorian detail, contain little surprises all along the way. Both children and grown-ups will respond to the luminous images -- the waiting tree, the astonished narrator, jolly Santa and his reindeer, and even the mouse -- as they discover the sparkling humor of a holiday favorite.
"'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there."
Generations of children have thrilled to these words as their favorite holiday grows near. Clement C. Moore wrote this account of a man's encounter with St. Nicholas in 1822 to entertain his children. Since then, his charming descriptions have become the definitive portrait of Santa Claus, from his twinkling eyes to his droll little mouth to the belly that shakes like a "bowlful of jelly." In this edition, award-winning illustrator Bruce Whatley brings Moore's well-loved Christmas classic to life with his vivid pictures and unusual perspectives. Readers can practically look up Dasher and Dancer's noses at one point, in a near-3-D close-up image of Santa's flock of reindeer.
Bright colors and clever details (one remaining leaf hangs from a tree outside the window, mice curl tightly together in a nest on a high shelf, reindeer peek mischievously over the rooftop at the unsuspecting narrator...) make this a holiday book the whole family will return to year after year. (Ages 3 to 10) --Emilie Coulter

ugh. I'm having trouble deciding between snorlax and hitmonlee..., any suggestions?
ugh. I'm having trouble deciding between snorlax and hitmonlee..., any suggestions?
spiritomb with wonderguard........ ugh..,
Personally id say snorlax. Great HP stat and just a great all around pokemon. BUT, Ive only ever used hitmonlee a few times...
Strange decision. I'd personally say snorlax because of great all around stats. Although if you are in need of a fighting-type hitmonlee is not a bad fighter.
I really need something to put here.
It really depends on what situation you're in, but Snorlax is never a bad choice.
Both Snorlax and Hitmonlee Are Great Pokemon To Have On Your Team. If I Had To Choose One It Would Be Snorlax. Snorlax Has Many Things Going For It Compared To Hitmonlee. Snorlax Stats 540 Is Overall Better Than Hitmonlee's 455 Stats. Snorlax Has a Much Deeper Movepool Compared to Hitmonlee in Which You Can Utilize Snorlax in Many Ways. Snorlax Has Two Abilities That Is Useful Compare To Hitmonlee's One. And Finally Snorlax Scores Well When It Comes To Type Effectiveness Even Though Hitmonlee Does Well In That Category As Well. However If You Need A Fighting Type Pokemon, Hitmonlee Is Not A Bad Option At All.
Hope This Helps.
Credit to Wulava for the Artwork. Thanks so much ^_^
Snorlax. It's a great wall Pokemon. With a lot of HP and Defense you could use it in battle for a long time.
Click Jirachi to join the amazing Ever Grande City forums! You won't regret joining it!
I've claimed this Pokemon.
Snorlax is quite a good wall, but Hitmonlee is actually a decent attacker.
Two different types but anyway.I prefer the snorlax for more resistance and support for my team but if you want something offensive then i suggest the hitmonlee

What a strange pairing.
Have to go with Snorlax though. Its HP and defensive stats make him a wall for any occasion BUT he has good attack too, AND an ok movepool. Hitmolee will get taken out far easier.

Mr. GRESHAM returned Mr. Bryant's bill [291,] supplemental to and to amend the first section of the act to enable trustees to receive lands and donate and convey the same for the benefit of schools, churches, Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges, &c., and for the construction of churches, school houses, &c., approved June 15, '52; recommending its passage.
Mr. VEATCH returned Mr. Jones of Tippecanoe's bill [256,] to authorize the judges of the circuit and common pleas courts to hear and determine all demurrers, motions and applications for the production of books or papers, and for the appointment of receivers, in vacation; recommending its passage.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. VEATCH returned Mr. Hopkins' bill [280] to repeal the act for voluntary assignments, recommending indefinite postponement; which was concurred in.
Mr. GRESHAM, from the Committee on Military affairs, returned his bill [105] for the reorganization of the militia, and to provide for a military fund, with an amendment, striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting new matter; and, on his motion, it was ordered to be laid on the table and printed.
The House now proceeded to the consideration of the special order, viz.: Mr. Heffren's bill [17] to give the public printing to the lowest responsible bidder, and to abolish the office of Public Printer; and his joint resolution to give the public printing to Thomas A. Goodwin, at 25 per cent below the present legal rates.
Mr. FRASIER moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. CAMERON demanded the previous question.
Mr. HEFFREN demanded the yeas and nays; and there was a second-yeas 46, nays 42:
So the main question was ordered.
Mr. HEFFREN asked, pro forma, to be excused from voting, to enable him to say: This is the first time in my experience in legisla page: 290[View Page 290]tion when the friends of a measure have been cut off by the gag from making their amendments to perfect it. We are ready with our amendments. This is not a party measure. Four years ago we voted for it, when the Democrats were in the majority. And we have a memorial on our tables, by a man not of the Democratic party, offering to do the public printing at 25 per cent, below the prices established by law. If this bill is indefinitely postponed that is an end of it so far as this session is concerned. What then will the people say of a Legislature that will go on paying $5,000 to $10,000 more than the public printing is offered to be done for by a practical man?
Mr. SMITH, of Bartholomew (pro forma.) This is not a party measure with me; but I am free to admit that I have some prejudice against the gentleman proposing to do this printing. If I dare vote against public economy, I could do so most willingly in this case; for I do not believe this man ought to have anything at the hands of either party.
Mr. FRASIER-pro forma. I shall vote for postponement, because there has been a Select Committee appointed of practical printers, to report a bill cutting down the rates to the lowest living point, and on that bill gentlemen will have an opportunity to vote for retrenchment and reform in this matter, if they wish.
Mr. STOTSEN BERG-pro forma. The very day the Republican majority here proposed to elect a State Printer, I offered a resolution to postpone it till we could mature this bill: and I referred to the gross frauds connected with the public printing which ought to be corrected, and which were pointed out in his paper by the very man whom they were desirous of electing. I did this because I knew that, after he was elected, the majority would never give up the spoils. Now they have got their printer, they are not going to give him up. But the people will remember the matter. ("Consart.") I call for the reading of the bill.
The bill was read by the Clerk.
Mr. SHERMAN-pro forma. I vote for indefinite postponement upon principle-upon the belief, that to the victors belong the spoils. Two years ago, when the gentleman came here to abolish this office, after the election of John C. Walker, I then voted against it; and I shall vote against it now, more especially, because the printer we have elected is under a written pledge to submit to any restrictions which his friends may prescribe. I voted against abolishing this office two years ago, believing that the time was not far distant when we would have control of it; and now we have got it, it seems to me to come with a very bad grace from that side, the moment it falls into our hands, to ask us to abolish it. I distinctly say to the House, that if I believed that the abolishing of this office would result in saving $10,000 to the State, I would not do it. It belongs to the Republican party.
Mr. JENKINSON-pro forma. I don't care who does this work, but the question is, who does it cheapest and best. The sentiment of the gentleman from Laporte is wrong. I hope the day will come when that sentiment will be abolished. I will vote for anything here that will lighten the burdens of taxation. I am willing the Republicans shall have the offices. My object is economy.
Mr. PACKARD-pro forma. I am a member of the Committee on Printing; and if report is expected from that Committee it is a very poor source of expectation.
Mr. GRESHAM-pro forma. At an early day of the session I introduced a resolution for inquiring into the abuses of the office of the public printer. I have been unfaltering in my course. I have been from the first in favor of abolishing this office, but the House have all the time refused to let our committee have this bill, knowing that we would have reported it back and recommended its passage. When the gentleman from Laporte comes in here and endorses the sentiment, that to the victors belong the spoils, he endorses a doctrine that I can not. It is preposterous. When it comes to that, sir, your government will be rottenness, and there will be no more hope for the patriot. This printing business is purely mechanical, and there is no reason why we should make a State officer to do the public printing.
Mr. CASON-pro forma. I have always been an advocate of reform in all our State matters. I understand that this bill has been introduced for the purpose of placing the printing of the State in such a position, that men who have peculated upon the State, and run off with their gains, may have the privilege of entering into competition with other men for the purpose of continuing their peculations. For these reasons I shall vote for the postponement. He withdrew his application to be excused.
Mr. DOBBINS. Two years ago I voted against abolishing the office of State printer, because there was no provision of law authorizing its abolishment. Now there is a condition that the Legislature may abolish it, which presents a widely different case.
Mr. CRAIN-pro forma. I believe that the letting out this printing will cost a great deal more in the result than the present arrangement. I have not the slightest doubt it. He withdrew his motion to be excused.
Mr. FISHER. In all my life, which has not been a short one, I have been much engaged in superintending public work; and my experience is, that, unless you can have some person to superintend the movement of the work under a contract, the State will be the loser from beginning to end.
Mr. ROBBINS. Democrats here have not been opposed to this measure in years gone by. I recollect a bill passed the Senate four, years ago, to abolish this office. I think we might as well have a stone mason for the State, as

What defines a community? It's the common ground where people gather – from housing, squares, streets and plazas to parks, green spaces and waterfronts.The Michigan Municipal League believes that by revitalizing communities and rebuilding neighborhoods, we can strengthen the entire state. Together with our many partners, we invest in Michigan communities to enhance the quality of life of our residents – and to attract and retain businesses, entrepreneurs and workers throughout the state.This approach is commonly described as creating a "sense of place" or just "placemaking." It's a simple concept really, based on a single principle – people choose to settle in places that offer the amenities, social and professional networks, resources and opportunities to support thriving lifestyles.Michigan can attract and retain talent – especially young, knowledge-based talent – by focusing on how best to utilize our regional communities' unique placemaking assets.Michigan is seen these days as leading the national movement for "placemaking". Downtowns and neighborhoods, cities, and regions see the importance of "place" to attracting talent, inspiring entrepreneurship, and encouraging business.Recently, the League, along with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), the MSU Land Policy Institute, and other statewide organizations launched the MIPlace Partnership Initiative and a companion 'Placemaking Curriculum' with the goal of helping Michigan communities learn more about and implement placemaking as a strategic economic development. The six-module curriculum from the MI-Place Partnership can jump-start your community's placemaking creativity.At the League's upcoming Capitol Conference you'll have the chance to more about the curriculum and learn what your community can do to help restore prosperity to Michigan and enhance the quality of life for everyone in your community. For more information about the MiPlace Partnership Initiative and Placemaking Curriculum Training being offered in the spring of 2013 by nonprofit placemaking partners such as Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) and Michigan Recreation and Parks Association (MRPA) visit the MIPlace website at miplace.org.Arnold Weinfeld is Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Michigan Municipal League.

President says the rich is should be paying their fair share and now a new report shows that the wealthiest Americans.
We'll take the biggest hit by the tax hikes in the new health care law according to the AP the top 2% will carry the highest burden.
That includes individuals earning more than 200000 dollars a year families making more than 250.
Among the increases a point 9% Medicare tax and a three point 8% tax on investment income that's already on top of the 50% capital gains tax.
Which will also be going up Steve Moore is a senior economic writer at the Wall Street Journal good to see you Steve so.
Good morning the rich get hit the hardest.
It's true that the rich get hit hard under that tax -- and I health care plan but it's also true that just about anybody who uses the health care system.
Is gonna get hit with higher taxes there.
Taxes on medical devices there are taxes on.
Health care plans don't forget employers that provide health care or don't provide health care are gonna from have to pay higher taxes so.
It's really across the board I count about fifteen or twenty.
New taxes that start taking place in 2013.
Fourteen or fifteen under this -- and may -- one more thing you're tested maybe the most important thing let's not forgot that the Supreme Court determined just last month.
That these job -- implode -- individual mandates to purchase health insurance those are taxes and acting class people.
Up to 15100 to 2000 dollars per -- You're talking about the penalty for those who choose -- not to get health insurance and those are only people who make the decision not to get it they'll be taxed as well but the AP analysis.
That I cited at the top of this in the introduction Steve said -- for the vast majority.
Of people to health care law will not mean spending more money sending more money rather to the IRS and roughly twenty million people eventually we'll get.
Tax credits that start in 2014 to help them pay insurance premiums that out yet.
The -- the problem that analysis is that doesn't take into affect all these indirect taxes the taxes on.
Drugs the taxes on medical devices the kinds of things that we use when we access the health care system.
Now it is true that there are gigantic tax increases on the -- Under that Obama care plan for example you mentioned the one that I think is most destructive to the economy three point 8% investments that tax surcharge.
By the way you were right that we have a 15% capital gains tax right now.
Under the Obama plan next year if we allow that.
Bush tax cuts it goes I don't wanna -- -- and then you add three point 8% up up about.
That's at 24%.
Tax or just short point 4% tax I'm not capital gains at a time by the way when businesses aren't in -- think.
That dividend tax by the way would go up by almost threefold so I think these are very harmful to the economy I think -- a lot of middle class families that are struggling to get by.
These all of these little fees and taxes and penalties whatever you want to call them.
Are gonna really -- up and put a pitch on their wallet what about repealing obamacare because that would have that would have cost as well who would pay for that.
And how much -- that price tag be.
Well I you know that's going to be the big battle Royale come 2013.
Especially if Mitt Romney wins this election Republicans will make that a top priority -- that of course if obamacare is repealed or big parts of -- are.
Then you're gonna see something take its place and we don't know exactly what that will be.
But there's no question we have to reform our health care system because these out of control costs in terms of the premium sound plans.
Are like attacks on American businesses and consumers and don't forget.
-- last year we saw a gigantic increase in premiums even though the idea behind obamacare was to lower of these costs.
Steve -- is a senior economic writer for the Wall Street Journal -- by the same parent company of this network Steve good to see.

Bob French, R.I.P.
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? How about Donna's on Monday nights? On the few occasions when I made my way to New Orleans earlier in this 21st , I'd make a point to stay through Mondays so that I could attend the weekly session that Bob French hosted at Donna's on North Rampart Street. Donna's had the aura of a shrine that acolytes made pilgrimages to on Sundays for brass band music and on Mondays for the jam session led by French, who was a down-home, genial host. Bob would ask pilgrims to identify the far flung places they'd traveled from, and he'd remind us that while there wasn't a cover charge for the music or the platters of chicken and red beans'n'rice that flowed from the kitchen following the first set, the hat would be passed continually through the night and he expected to see greenbacks spilling over the sides.
On one particularly memorable night a decade ago, Donna's gave me my first glimpse of such amazing locals as Leon "Kid Chocolate" Brown, Ellen Smith, Corey Henry, and John Boutte, a great singer who's now starring in HBO's Treme. Trumpeter Brown and vocalist Smith, whose scant recorded output is a baffling thing, performed a "Dr. Feelgood" that would have made Aretha, Ray Charles and the crowd at the Fillmore blush. Pianist Davell Crawford, whom I've seen give indifferent performances in more prestigious venues, sat in that night and played for all the marbles.
Tastes of NOLA night-life such as this can induce in me an almost abject yearning for the Big Easy, especially on Monday nights. Alas, Donna's ceased operations in its dilapidated home across from Louis Armstrong Park two years ago, and Bob French died on Monday at the age of 74. Somehow it seems fitting that the former preceded the latter, as Donna's would have had a terribly ghostly feel without Bob on the bandstand.
As is fairly customary in New Orleans, French came from a musical family. His grandfather Robert was a renowned tuba player, and his uncle Maurice played trombone with Armstrong and Kid Rena. His father, Albert "Papa" French, was a banjo player who led the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band for many years, and his brother George, who survives him, is a leading bass player around town. In Up From the Cradle of Jazz, Bob recalled, "I'd ask Daddy, 'How much do you charge for this and what do you charge for transportation? I'd always ask him about the business because he'd been at it so long. It was a heck of an advantage." Among the directions he took from his father were charging top dollar, dressing sharp, and showing up on time.
The French brothers formed a group called the Turquoise with Art and Charles Neville when they were in high school, and by the late '50's they were appearing on record with Fats Domino, Earl King, and other New Orleans r&b stars. Up From the Cradle…credits them with giving "a more punctuated groove" to King's classics "Trickbag" and "Mama and Papa." As French relates in the video interview below, his ability to punctuate a groove may well have come from his first session with Domino when studio owner Cossimo Matassa reminded him to "play louder" so that he could be heard in the one-mic set-up in use at that time.
French is a colorful storyteller. Here's how he recalled getting his start: "I heckled and jeckled Dave Bartholomew [Fats Domino's bandleader] so much to give me a recording session. Earl Palmer was the drummer. There was no place for Bob French or anybody else. Earl was the man. Then Earl left New Orleans and went to California. Thank God he did," French says while blessing himself. "The Lord is good. He works in strange ways. I used to worry Dave Bartholomew every day and finally when 'Mr. Drummer' left, Dave said, 'I got a session for you.' And I said, 'There is a God'."
The Times-Picayune's obituary of French emphasized his outspoken, curmudgeonly nature, especially in his work as a former disc jockey at WWOZ. That's not the French I met at Donna's, and lots of readers weighed in with a contrasting view too. Read it all here.
French succeeded his father as leader of the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band in 1977. Here's the band at Lousiana Music Factory with Leon Brown singing "St. James Infirmary Blues." That's Freddy Lonzo on trombone, Detroit Brooks on banjo, and Richard Moten on bass.
We'll hear music by French and his New Orleans colleagues throughout tonight's Jazz a la Mode.

Signed July 4, 1776: Independence Day Document Heads To Auction
Filed under: Auctions
Imagine for a moment what it was like to be in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. Each year we gather for barbecues and fireworks on July 4 but often don't imagine the day itself. Documents from that day make the history come alive. Cohasco, a firm that specializes in rare documents, is auctioning off a striking manuscript document dated Philadelphia, July 4, 1776 on August 10 during an auction that features documents from a variety of time periods.
The document is a manuscript petition to the Committee of Safety that is actually dated twice, with thick flourish beneath one dateline. It is signed by three noted patriots and involves a fourth. The letter is signed by George Shaffner, a sergeant in Pennsylvania militia and is a petition to the Committee of Safety, requesting a commission, asking to be appointed as "Lieutenant in one of the Companies of the Regiment of Germans now to be raised he being born of German Parents...." The petition is signed by Col. Samuel J. Atlee who was captured by the British just seven weeks after this petition and Lt. Col. Caleb Parry who was killed in action in the same battle.
The listing on Cohasco says that it is possible to surmise that this request may have been spurred on by the excitement of the day itself. They have determined that George Shaffner did indeed receive his commission in the German Regiment and became one of its original officers. He is recorded in "The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources...," the Papers of Robert Morris, archives of Society of the Cincinnati, and other sources. The Minutes of the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania record that Shaffner was subsequently commissioned in Atlee's Battalion of Musketry in Aug. 1776, therefore tying all four men in this document to the fateful Battle of Long Island that month. The other person mentioned in the document Capt. Abraham De Huff, of the "Pennsylvania Musket Battalion," fought at the Battle of Long Island in Aug. 1776, and was captured at Fort Washington, following Washington's retreat to Manhattan.
This July 4 document was also published during the Centennial, its text appearing in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Jan. 13, 1876. The document is housed in an older custom slipcase and will be sold with an extensive research file that tells its unique story. It is estimated at $30,000-45,000.
