Mozilla takes drastic step to automatically block virtually all plug-ins in Firefox
Cites security, stability reasons for move to turn on 'click-to-play' for all but the latest Flash
Computerworld - Mozilla yesterday announced it would automatically disable all plug-ins in Firefox except the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player, citing security and stability reasons for the move.
The feature, called "click-to-play," has been part of Firefox since version 17, which launched last November, but Mozilla will restrict plug-ins even further going forward.
By default, click-to-play bars plug-in play, but users can override the block by clicking any grayed-out content area on a Web page. The technique has become popular as browser makers try to keep users safe from a rising tide of exploits that leverage bugs in plug-ins, particularly the Java browser plug-in.
Previously, Firefox's click-to-play only kicked in for those plug-ins that Mozilla determined were unsafe or seriously out of date. (The company posts a list of those plug-ins here.)
As of Tuesday, Firefox also blocked versions 10.2.x and older of Flash Player, the first step toward the goal of barring virtually all plug-ins.
The current version of Flash Player is 11.5.x on OS X Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, and on all editions of Windows with the exception of Windows 8, where the most up-to-date is 11.3.x. OS X Tiger and Leopard's current Flash is version 10.3.x.
Although Mozilla did not define a timeline, it will soon block all plug-ins other than the latest version of Flash. The block will include up-to-date versions of popular plug-ins such as Adobe's Acrobat Reader, Microsoft's Silverlight and Oracle's Java.
Java has been especially iffy of late. Earlier this month, exploits of a critical vulnerability in the Java plug-in were found packaged in several crimeware toolkits, and while Oracle quickly patched the bug, researchers first warned that the fix was itself flawed, then claimed an important Java anti-exploit defense could be circumvented. The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has recommended that browser users disable the Java plug-in until further notice.
Mozilla said the drastic step was needed to safeguard users from "drive-by" attacks, which trigger exploits as soon as a victim visits a malicious or compromised website.
The open-source developer also cited stability reasons for the move. "By only activating plug-ins that the user desires to load, we're helping eliminate pauses, crashes and other consequences of unwanted plug-ins," said Michael Coates, Mozilla's director of security assurance, in a Jan. 29 blog post.
Mozilla will be the first browser maker to disable the bulk of plug-ins by default. Chrome and Opera Software's Opera also include click-to-play, but both leave it turned off until the user enables the feature.

Canadian Police Seize Firearms From Evacuated Homes
Canadians in Alberta found out the hard way that no right is fundamental to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. When the police evacuated residents' homes as a result of flooding last month and told residents that they would have to wait for permission to return, homeowners were angry enough. But to make matters worse, many of them found that the police seized a "large quantity of firearms" from the evacuated homes.

Food Network Fires Paula Deen Over Racism Scandal
Food Network star Paula Deen has been dumped by her network following a racism scandal which began with a lawsuit filed by Lisa Jackson, a Caucasian woman in her 40s, against Deen and Deen's brother, Bubba Hiers.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Arizona Voter ID Law
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship for voters is illegal. According to the court's decision, states cannot require voters to prove they are American citizens because it violates a 1993 federal law that allows people to register to vote through a single form accepted by all states in which voter's "swear" they are citizens of the United States.

ObamaCare Costs May Compel U.S. Lawmakers and Aides to Resign
In November 2010, a significant number of members of Congress were ousted from their posts because of their votes for the passage of ObamaCare earlier that year. This year, a number of lawmakers may also be leaving their jobs as a result of the healthcare legislation — except this time it's voluntary: in fear of the rising costs of their health insurance premiums.
State Department Accused of Covering Up Prostitution Scandal

text: Home Culture An Exclusive Talk with Bill Cosby Did the Huxtables make the Obamas possible? On the 25th anniversary of "The Cosby Show," Cos on Clair's Dominican roots, Cheney, Bush, and a different kind of "taking the house back." By: Dayo Olopade Posted: Sept. 17 2009 6:54 AM 0 Getty Images For eight television seasons (NBC, 1984-92), the Emmy Award-winning The Cosby Show, written by and starring comedian Bill Cosby, beamed an unflinching, yet humorous black family portrait into living rooms across America. Cosby, as Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, presided over this historic foray into black upper-middle class life. The sitcom was a window into a certain, often enviable kind of black familial and romantic love, a showcase for amazing talent, and a place where the situations or "problems" of a black family were mostly just the same as any other family's. The No. 1 hit celebrates its 25th anniversary this Sunday. In this first installation of Cosby's exclusive interview with The Root, the show's star and creator shares never-before-told stories about the show and explores the political legacy of the Huxtables: Did Cliff and Clair Huxtable make Barack and Michelle Obama possible? The Root: Why did you start The Cosby Show? Bill Cosby: I didn't like what was on TV in terms of sitcoms—it had nothing to do with the color of them—I just didn't like any of them. I saw little kids, let's say 6 or 7 years old, white kids, black kids. And the way they were addressing the father or the mother, the writers had turned things around, so the little children were smarter than the parent or the caregiver. They were just not funny to me. I felt that it was manipulative and the audience was looking at something that had no responsibility to the family. TR: You and your TV wife, Phylicia Rashad, raised five children on that show who were pretty well-behaved. What accounts for that? "Raised" is right … Episode One might very well be one of the strongest episodes of any sitcom. Because it is the beginning of the boy, Theo, announcing that he does not want to become a person who has to study, to get a career, that he wants no particular responsibility toward studying or school. He sees somebody with a job, and he calls them 'regular people.' What I didn't plan for was that the audience started to applaud … The applause floored me because it really made me feel that these people are saying, 'Well, he's right! He should be allowed to be a regular person.' And I thought to myself, Hey, man, I'm in trouble. But I knew and believed that what Cliff was about to say was the right thing … So I said, "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." Then the people started clapping for what I said. So now I said to myself: Are they back on track? How can they applaud for him and then applaud for what I'm saying? Is the audience split on what is going on? TR: But wasn't Cliff himself going to be a "regular person"—a truck driver? What happened? The chauffeur thing was my idea. Also Clair was going to be a plumber in the union …. Clair was also going to be Dominican, and have a mother and father speaking Spanish—which would be the reverse of [I Love] Lucy. I would be the person that didn't understand when she spoke Spanish. And in the first show, Phylicia speaks Spanish and throughout the show, she understands Spanish. She doesn't use it the way I wanted to use it. Mrs. Cosby, along with [executive producer] Marcy Carsey, said, 'No, we think it's more interesting to have this career professional.' And I'm not going to argue with my wife.

FRIDAY, January 25, 1861.The reading of the journal being dispensed with-
Mr. RANDALL presented the petition of W. W. Hartwell, and others, citizens of Noble county, asking for compensation for damages sustained on account of the construction of the Feeder dam at Northport; which was referred to the Committee on Claims.
Mr. FORD presented the petition of S. W. Holmes and others, for an appropriation of $22,000 for draining a dam on the Muscatatack. in Jackson county, to reclaim swamp lands; which was referred to the Committee on Swamp Lands.
Mr. GROVER asked and obtained leave of absence for Mr. Roberts for this day.
Mr. ORR, from the Committee on page: 106[View Page 106] Rights and Privileges of the Inhabitants of the State, returned the resolution for a law excluding negroes and mulattoes from the common schools, and excluding them from giving testimony in any cause in which a white person is interested, with the expression of opinion that further legislation on these subjects is unnecessary[see laws of 1853, page 60 : 1855, page 161.]
The report was concurred in.
Mr. HORD, from the same committee, returned Mr. Holcomb's bill [25] to repeal the with amendments; together with sundry wild game laws, with a recommendation that the same be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. FISHER moved that the report be concurred in.
Mr. DOBBINS trusted the House would not indefinitely postpone the bill. The wild game law. it was known, was not respected in the south part of the State; and the author of the bill not being present, he moved to lay the report on the table.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr, LEE, from the same committee, returned Mr. Atkisson's bill [49] to prevent hogs running at large without a ring in the nose, with a recommendation that the same be indefinitely postponed.
The report was concurrred in.
Mr. HORD, from the same Committee, returned the petition of sundry citizens of Orange county, asking for a repeal of the new county act of 1857, and amendments thereto, with a recommendation that it lie on the table.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. PROSSER, from the same Committee, returned the resolution for regulating the width of wagons, reporting legislation inexpedient.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. PROSSER, from the same Committee on the same subject, returned Mr. Cameron's bill, [26] and Mr. McClurg's bill, [40] together with resolutions to amend the 3d and 4th sections of the wild game law, and in lieu thereof, reported a new bill, [102] to amend the 3d and 4th sections of said law of February 26, 1857-[changing the time of protection of quails and pheasants from the "1st of January to the 1st of October," to from "1st of March to the 1st of October;" and changing the time for the protection of prairie hens from the "1st of January to the 1st of August," to from the "1st of March to the 1st of October."
The bill was passed to the second reading.
Mr. ORR, from the same Committee, returned the resolution for excluding negroes and mulattoes from the schools, and reported legislation unnecessary, with a reference to the act of 1855. p. 161, sec. 1.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. GROVER, from the Committee on County and Township Business, returned the resolution for amendment of the law relative to the construction of bridges over streams of water dividing counties, so as to make the tax rest equally on each county, with a new bill, [102] to provide for the erection and pair of bridges over streams forming the boundary line between two counties; to repeal a portion of the act of 1855, and the 4th section of the act of May 12, 1852, on this subject.
The bill was passed to the second reading.
Mr. PROSSER, from the same Committee reported back Mr. Nebeker's bill, [39] to authorize the formation of new counties, &c., with amendments; together with sundry petitions on the same subject, recommending that the petitions lie on the table, that the bill with the proposed amendments, pass.
Mr. NEBEKER moved that the House concur in the amendments and that the bill be ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. FRASIER stated that the amendments proposed by the Committee, were merely verbal, with one exception, and he supposed that was a clerical error in the bill. It was to strike out the word "smallest' and insert the word "largest" in the case of the provision that the new county shall remain for representative and judicial purposes, attached to that county from which the "largest" portion was taken.
Mr. FISHER proposed further to amend the bill, by adding a section to the effect, " That all proceedings that may have been commenced heretofore for the formation of new counties be continued and finally settled under the laws now in force and according to the provisions thereof."
Mr. HENRICKS moved to lay the amendment on the table.
Mr DOBBINS-to lay the bill and all the amendments on the table.
Mr. McLEAN demanded a division of the question.
And, thereupon, the amendments were severally laid on the table, without a division, and the bill was tabled by yeas 47, mays 42.
Mr. PROSSER moved to reconsider this vote. This bill would repeal an act which was got through the Legislature at the last session either by mistake or fraud. He gave incidents to show this. That act gave the people of three or for counties cornering together (if there be 200 square miles) the right to form a new county without the consent of the balance of the people of said counties. He showed how this would operate injuriously, as in cases where counties have subscribed railroad stock. He hoped this bill would not be laid on the table. He was satisfied that the House was voting with no proper understanding of the vote it was giving, and hence he had voted affirmatively that he might move its re-consideration. The present law was passed by the last General Assembly either by fraud, or by mistake as to the character of its provisions. It allows the formation of a new county of 200 square miles, and gives the right to the inhabitants in it to separate themselves page: 107[View Page 107] from the counties to which it had been attached, without their consent. Thus, a mere majority in such territory may declare that a new county shall be created. As an instance f the gross injustice which such a law may lead to, he would refer to the county of Montgomery. It has contracted a debt of $100,000 for the building of a railroad, and under the present law, a portion of its citizens may relieve themselves from any liability, without the consent of the rest of the county. A law, thus interfering with important existing obligations should not remain in force.
Mr. LANE said that the bill before the House so changed the law that the question of a new comity was referred to the people of the whole county. The character of the law as it now is has been shown by the situation in which Montgomery county may be placed, and it exhibits a kind of secession, not unlike that at Cannelton, where it is proposed to change the course of the Ohio river, sc that the county of Perry may be attached to the State of Kentucky. The law confers the power upon a majority of one only, of the district out of which the new county is to be made, to form such new county, utterly regardless of the situation in which it may place the old county, or the inconvenience to which it may subject the minority of its own citizens. Thus it is proposed to make a new county from Putnam and Montgomery, requiring citizens of Putnam, living within eight miles of Greencastle, the county seat, to go fifteen miles to the couuty seat of the proposed new county.
That the law of last session had been wrongfully parsed, is seen from the fact that but one of its Representatives knew that such an act had been passed. A law of this kind consults the interests of certain localities and individuals only, but disregards the wishes and rights of the masses. Such individuals are untiring in the accomplishment of their purposes, and succeed, because the masses, being unsuspecting, take no steps to prevent what they do not anticipate.
Mr. CAMERON remarked that he was satisfied the House did not understand the vote it had just given. The law of the last session is based on secession, and such a principle he resisted in whatever form it presented itself. Thus, under its provisions, Michigan City, having received the location of the new Prison, desired to become a county seat, and for this purpose proposed to form a new county from the territory of Laporte and Porter. But to get even so small a territory as two hundred square miles, it counted as land the overflowed land by the lake in Porter-a territory that could never yield a revenue from taxation, however much it might yield in the shape of fish. Not only this injustice was attempted, hut it would have cut off four railroads from i Porter county. Such is the operation of the law of last session, and the injustice to which it leads. Its principle, as he had already said, was that of secession-one that he despised under all circumstances. Had the members known, therefore, that the vole just given was calculated to retain in force such a law, he knew that the vote would have been very different, and that it would now be reconsidered.
Mr. BUNDY explained his course. He had voted to lay the bill on the table, because it made radical changes in the law of last session, and such changes ought not to be made but upon deliberation. The act of last session was wrong. He would oppose any law calculated to create small counties, for there were always discontented spirits desirous of change, and who would not hesitate to increase public expense by the formation of such counties. All the people of the counties had an interest in preventing such increase, and hence the law should refer to the decision of all questions pertaining to the formation of new counties.
Mr. CRAIN said that the county he represented, Parke, had 441 square miles, and an attempt had been made to take off the 41 square miles, the Constitution preventing any greater amount from being taken away. No regard was otherwise had to the rights and interests of the old counties, for if that territory had been taken, it would have left that county with seven corners to it. and its school districts disarranged, and other interests affected. It would have increased the expense of the county government also. It would have taken from it a bridge which cost the county 10,000, and given it to those who would not have had to contribute to the erection of others. If the provision of the Constitution, preventing counties from being reduced below 400 square miles, was correct, it was not right to make, by law, counties containing not more than half this amount. The House should well consider its action before it consents that our old county organizations shall be broken up by a law so much calculated to do so.
Mr. COLLINS, of Whitley, could not concur in these views. The law was two fold, part providing for change of boundary lines between the counties, and part referring to the formation of new counties. Adjoining counties were often so situated that it becomes necessary to take a portion from one county and add it to another. Whitley, for instance, was a small county, and Allen a large one, and and a portion of the latter desired to be annexed to Whitley. His county had managed its affairs prudently, but Allen badly, and to escape its heavy taxation made the change desirable. If a proposition to allow such change has to be submitted to the vote of the whole of Allen, it would never receive its assent, and thus a part of the county, not benefitted by the county expenditures, be made to bear their burden.
Mr. STOTSENBERG said he had no local page: 108[View Page 108] interest in the vote given. Floyd was a small county, and therefore not to be affected by the law under discussion. He had given his vote to lay the bill on the table, because he was opposed to hasty changes. He approved, too, of the amendment proposed by Mr. Fisher, and although the act of 1859 might, have been inconsiderately passed, yet proceedings under its provisions had been commenced in good faith, and such past action ought not to be broken down. It would not be good faith on our part to do this. But he did not desire the bill before the House to be laid on the table: he would prefer to see it referred to the Judiciary Committee, to have the legal questions arising under its provisions, examined.
Mr. PACKARD said that when the vote was being taken, he did not understand the question, but had changed his vote. The present law led to oppression. Elkhart county was very greedy to get half of one of the best townships of the counts he represented. But the law, as it now is, may lead to great injustice in .other ways. A new county might be formed under its provisions out of St. Joseph, Marshall and Starke,at Walkerton, where these counties come together, but while the new county would be nearly square, it would leave the old counties in a marred condition. Is it right to thus injure the old counties, without giving them a voice in acts so seriously affecting them ? The bill now before the House is a good one; the present law is oppressive,and he wanted the bill passed.
Mr. FISHER remarked that he had no objection to the reconsideration of all the votes that had just been taken. He desired that the bill and all the amendrnsnts might go to the Judiciary Committee, for it could best con-consider and act upon all the rights which may have accrued under the provisions of the law.
Mr. FRASIER thought that the saving clause embraced in the amendment of Mr. Fisher was to keep in force all the past iniquity of the law. It seemed to him very clear that the law had been passed without a proper understanding of its character, for its general effects must be productive of bad results, and these should be at once cut off. The House had been referred to the cases of Allen and Whitley counties, to show the necessity of retaining certain provisions of the law. The remedy for the grievances of the people of Allen is not in breaking away from that county and going to Whitley, but in the election of better officers to manage their county affairs. For their grievances have been occasioned by the corruption and fraud that have prevailed in the management of the county affairs. If the law of last session was passed in bad faith, he could not see how any proceedings under it could be such as the House should protect. If now we refuse to pass this bill, we cannot allow the law to remain unrepealed. As to the squatter sovereignty which is said to bethe principle of this law, he believed it to b under all circumstances, a humbug.
Mr. SMITH, of Bartholomew, said that he had voted to lay the bill on the table, but he did not understand the true nature of the vote he had given. The county of Bartholomew had been threatened with division under the present law, and he was in favor of having it changed.
Mr. GRESHAM said that the law now in fore needed amendment. It should require the majority of all parties effected by the proposed change to be had. It might be true that little Floyd had no particular interest in the law, bacause it was so small that it could not be constitutionally made less, but still it might like very well to have a township of Harrison county annexed to it.
Mr. DOBBINS said that Martin and Daviess counties had a suit now pending about a portion of territory two miles wide and about thirty long, which it was proposed to take from Daviess. This annexation was opposed in the Eastern part of Martin, for if annexed a difficulty would then arise about the removal of the county seat of Martin. The principles of the law are wrong, but still he was unwilling that existing actions under the law should be destroyed without an examination, and hence he had voted to lay the bill on the table, until such examination could be made. He thought that the bill repealed the second section of the law of 1857, and he objected to this. But his main objection to it was that it contained no saving clause under which acts commenced might be completed.
Mr. NEWMAN said that in voting to lay the bill on the table, he did so because he did not understand its provisions, and he sought time to examine it. But the discussion upon it had satisfied him that it was right, and that the present law was a bad one. It leads to disorganization of the counties by inviting secession of parts of them, and such a law could not be otherwise than bad.
Mr. CASON thought that it should be presumed that the last General Assembly knew what they were doing in the passage of the present law. Various questions were now connected with it, and we ought not, hastily, to destroy it. There were two sides to this, as well as other matters. The opposition to it came from the old counties, and their general interests are opposed to any change, however much demanded by local wants. We ought to inquire whether any invested rights existed. It seems to be presumed that what the people had done under its provisions was fraudulent upon others, but no such presumption should be made. The case of Montgomery county had been referred to, but it had not been fully stated. A railroad tax had been levied there for ten years on all the property of the county, whilst the road passes through a portion only of it. The benefit had resulted chiefly to that portion, yet the burden had to be borne by page: 109[View Page 109] those who were very indirectly benefitted. Now a portion of the county, not so benefitted seeks to form a new county, but those benefitted object. Is this right, or has anything been done under the law by them, which may justly be complained of by those now objecting?
Mr. WOODHULL said he was not directly . interested in the provisions of the bill. He was fortunate in coming from a county [Steuben] which, being the center of the world there, was not troubled with dissatisfaction about evils. But the bill had not been explained, and from the reading he could not understand the bearing of its provisions. In future, he would advise gentlemen who were interested in bills to explain them, that all might be prepared to vote.
Mr. ATKISSON said that he had voted against the bill because it contained no saving clause to protect actions now commenced under the law.
Mr. PROSSER was opposed to recommitting the bill. The House was now ready to vote understandingly. He was opposed to all saving clauses, for they would protect a few who vere engaged in robbing thousands. He was satisfied that the law of last session had been passed by fraud, and he was ready to change it.
Mr. EDSON was opposed to the law because he opposed the formation of counties having so small a territory as 200 square miles. The Constitution prohibits the old counties from being reduced below 400 square miles, and it must have done so upon the conviction that it was inexpedient to form smaller counties. He thought, then, this provision had reference to future as well as to existing counties. The law, too, leads to a repudiation of debts by a part of the people of the counties.
Mr. NEBEKER closed the debate. He desired that the bill he had introduced should be examined. As to the act of 1857, it was so drawn up as to be susceptible of almost any number of constructions. The lawyers had given it three different legal constructions. The late Attorney General thought that under it the counties could exchange territories. The law of last session led to such proceedings that a portion of one county could, against its wishes, be transferred to another county. His own county presented a case of such injustice. Fountain wants to enforce a portion of Warren county, where he resided, to annex to them, and so well known was their hostility to the change, that the county commissioners of Warren would not recive a petition from them on the subject. A suit, by mandamus, is now pending against them, and it was the purpose of this bill to save such proceedings ? As for himself, he wished to have nothing to do with Fountain. He loved Warren all over, and he didn't want to be made to secede from it. To show how gross injustice might be done under the law of the last session, he would ask the member from Allen what could prevent a new county being formed out of 200 square miles, taken out of the center of Allen, with Fort Wayne for its center. Let us suppose such a county to be created, and if the member from Allen wants a name for it, he may call it Nebeker. (Laughter,) In that county centers the railroads for which Allen is so much indebted, yet this new county of Nebeker could not be called upon to contribute a cent towards this indebtedness, All around it, in a most circumlocutory form, is the old county of Allen, oppressed with a railroad debt, and the benefit of the roads taken from it, and enjoyed by those who are made free by the law from any obligation to pay their quota. Do we want a saving clause for such proceedings ? There is a principle of justice here that will carry this bill through the House.
The vote was reconsidered.
Mr. McCLURG now moved that the bill lay on the table, and that 200 copies be printed.
Mr. STOTSENBERG moved to refer it to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. PROSSER moved to lay the motions to refer and to print on the table.
Mr. DOBBINS demanded a division of the question.
The House thereupon refused to print, and the bill was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Messrs. Orr, Frasier and Epperson were accorded leave of absence till next week.
Mr. BRANHAM, from the Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred the special message of His Excellency the Governor, communicated yesterday to the House, reported that the committee had considered the same, and instructed him to report a bill [104,] to provide for a deficiency in the State Treasury, by a loan of $75,000 from the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, to meet the current expenses of the State, and to provide for and secure the repayment of the same.
The bill was passed to the second reading.
The SPEAKER laid before the House a communication in writing from the President of the Sinking Fund.
On motion of Mr. STOTSENBERG, the vote of the House, making the report of the Committee of Thirteen the special order for Tuesday, was reconsidered ; and the said report, was recommitted to the same committee, together with the joint resolutions from the Senate, the resolutions from the Virginia Legislature, and the resolutions of the Terre Haute meeting on the same subject.
On motion by Mr. BRANHAM, the bill [104] to borrow $75,000 from the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, was considered and passed page: 110[View Page 110] the second reading, under a suspension of the rules and the Constitutional provision.
The bill being read by title-
Mr. BUNDY moved that the rules and Constitutional provision be again suspended, that the bill may be considered as engrossed and read the third time now.
Mr. DOBBINS made the point or order, that the Constitution was againt the motion.
The SPEAKER. The bill cannot be read again by its title.
Mr. STOTSENBERG read the Constitutional provision; and
The point was overruled, and the rules suspended.
The bill was then read through by the Clerk, and the question being upon its final passage-
Mr. BRANHAM. The bill provided for a loan of $75,000, when the Governor had only asked for $50,000. The reason of this was that the warden of the State Prison at Jeffersonville says he must have $18,000 immediately, or the prisoners must be turned out. On consultation with the Governor, he found that His Excellency had not estimated this in the $50,000. The reason why the committee preferred borrowing from the Sinking Fund, was, that it operated only as a temporary suspension of the distribution. The loan, doubtless, could be made from the Bank of the State; but it was known that in these times the banks have all they can do to get along. And the State had already borrowed $25.000 from the Bank of the State, which ought to be paid as soon as possible. These were the considerations that prevailed with the Committee. He was satisfied that the re-payment of the $75,000 would all be met as provided in the bill. He hoped that by Monday we would have a bill reported here that would stop all leaks in the Treasury.
Mr. DOBBINS, admitting the urgency, could not vote for this bill, because we have not the constitutional right to touch this fund. It was held in trust for the children of the State, and could not be used for any other purpose.
The bill was then passed the third and last reading in the House of Representatives by yeas 56, nays 25.
On motion of Mr. EDSON, (the order of business being suspended for the purpose,) the bill from the Senate [S. 14] to amend the 48th section of the act of June 17, 1852, for the settlement of decedents' estates, was taken, up-
Mr. E. stated the emergency for its passage, in the fact, that the cabinet of specimens and apparatus of the late Dr. David Dale Owen, of New Harmony, was now advertised to be sold under the existing law, and it was desirable, by the provisions of this bill, to prevent the sacrifices that would result from a forced sale of this rich cabinet, which was worth probably $30,000 or $40,000.
The rules and Constitutional provision were suspended, and the bill passed unanimously through the several readings in the House of Representatives.
The bill [S. 11] to amend section 151 of the assessment act of June 21, 1852, was passed to the second reading.
Mr. CAMERON, from the Committee on Benevolent Institutions, returned Mr. Turner's bill, [79] to provide for the election of Sheriff of the Supreme Court, &c., and reported a recommendation that the same be referred to the Committee on the Organization of Courts.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. ROBBINS, from the Committee on Public Expenditures, returned the resolution, asking for legislation to correct mistakes in the present law in reference to the distance traveled by sheriffs conveying convicts to the penitentiary, and reported a recommendation that the same be referred to a Select Committee of three.
The raport was concurred in; and the Speaker appointed Messrs. Robbins, Edson and Crain to be said Committee.
Mr. WOODHULL, from the Select Committee on his bill [36] for the relief of the heirs of Michael O'Brien, returned the same, with a recommendation that it ought to pass.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed for the third reading.
Mr. GRESHAM, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill [105] for the reorganization of the militia, prescribing the duty of certain officers, &c., and for the repeal of all existing laws having reference to said militia. [Identical with Mr. Anthony's bill (Senate No. 28.)]
It was passed to the second reading.
Mr. FORD. As this was a bill of great importance, and fearing members might forget the reading, he would move that the rule be suspended, and the bill read the second time now.
The House refused to suspend the rule-yeas 26, nays 52-two-thirds not voting in the affirmative.
Mr. SMITH, of Bartholomew, submitted a resolution, that if the gentleman from Harrison shall introduce another bill during the present session containing more than 40 pages, it shall be indefinitely postponed. [Laughter.]
The SPEAKER ruled it out of order.
Mr. PACKARD submitted an order for $3 worth of postage stamps for each member $2 in 3 cents and $1 in 1 cents. He said it required postage to send off those documents, and his stock was exhausted.
The yeas and nays were demanded, and taken on this order-Mr. Prosser, Mr. Smith, of Bartholomew, Mr. Cameron and others, explaining that it was too much to expect members to spend their time here in the State service, pay their own expenses and pay postage for the public. There were numerous copies of about 40 documents here, valuable and de page: 111[View Page 111]sirable among the people, and it was bad economy to print them and leave them here undistributed.
The order was rejected-yeas 20, nays 56.
Mr. ROBBINS submitted a resolution, which was adopted, that the clerk of the stationary room inform the House whether each has received his $3 worth of postage stamps under the order of the House.
Leave of absence was obtained for Mr. Howard, Mr. Prosser and Owens.
Mr. EDSON submitted a resolution, which was adopted, that the Committee on the Judiciary inquire into the legal effect of judgments rendered under existing laws against executors and administrators upon claims against decedents' estates, and of the allowance of claims on the Appearance Docket of the Court of Common Pleas in cases where estates are insolvent; and whether further legislation is necessary to protect executors and administrators.
Mr. BUNDY'S resolution to so amend the rules that till otherwise ordered, the adjournment every Saturday shall be at 11 o'clock a. m., till Monday at 2 o'clock p. m., coming up-
Mr. VEATCH and Mr. NEBEKER resisted its adoption, because it was not likely to have the effect claimed for it, namely, of giving time for work in the committees.
The rule was adopted.
Mr. HOLCOMB submitted an order, which was adopted, that the Judiciary Committee inquire into the expediency of so amending the present laws that the county treasurer shall not be required to visit the several precincts for the purpose of collecting taxes; and that he shall not levy the ten per centum charges till the 1st of May: also, that county auditors shall not be required to deliver the tax duplicate till the first of December.
The House then adjourned.

Updated with video; The Southwest Georgia Cancer Coalition is accepting applications for their yearly Cancer Care grants, which run up to $4,000
ALBANY, GA -- Calling all local non-profits: The Southwest Georgia Cancer Coalition is looking for organizations interested in applying for the 2011 Cancer Care Grants. The grants are designed to assists local non-profit, community-based health or advocacy organizations that assist local cancer patients who are undergoing treatment.
Grants up to $4,000 are awarded, and SWGA Cancer Coalition CEO Diane Fletcher says they hope the money goes to help cancer patients with items such as medications, physician prescribed nutritional support, medical equipment and supplies, and transportation to cancer-related medical visits.
"A patient may need pain medication that's not covered by their insurance or perhaps they dont' have insureance and moneys could cover that or gas money to travel to treatment," says Fletcher.
To be eligible for the grants, applicants must hold a 501c3 non-profit status, and patients and their families served by the grant funds must live within the Cancer Coalition's 31-county service area.
Proposals from non-profits are due on Sept. 30. You can find an application on the SWGA Cancer Coalition website.

Air Pollution Has Been a Problem Since the Days of Ancient Rome
By testing ice cores in Greenland, scientists can look back at environmental data from millennia past
- By Joseph Stromberg
- Illustration by Kim Rosen
- Smithsonian magazine, February 2013, Subscribe
Before the Industrial Revolution, our planet's atmosphere was still untainted by human-made pollutants. At least, that's what scientists thought until recently, when bubbles trapped in Greenland's ice revealed that we began emitting greenhouse gases at least 2,000 years ago.
Célia Sapart of Utrecht University in the Netherlands led 15 scientists from Europe and the United States in a study that charted the chemical signature of methane in ice samples spanning 2,100 years. The gas methane naturally occurs in the atmosphere in low concentrations. But it's now considered a greenhouse gas implicated in climate change because of emissions from landfills, large-scale cattle ranching, natural gas pipeline leaks and land-clearing fires.
Scientists often gauge past climate and atmosphere conditions from pristine ancient ice samples. The new research was based on 1,600-foot-long ice cores extracted from Greenland's 1.5-mile-thick ice sheet, which is made up of layers of snow that have accumulated over the past 115,000 years.
Sapart and her colleagues chemically analyzed the methane in microscopic air bubbles trapped in each ice layer. They wanted to know if warmer periods over the past two millennia increased gas levels, possibly by spur- ring bacteria to break down organics in wetlands. The goal was to learn more about how future warm spells might boost atmospheric methane and accelerate climate change.
The researchers did find that methane concentrations went up—but not in step with warm periods. "The changes we observed must have been coming from something else," Sapart says.
That "something else" turned out to be human activity, notably metallurgy and large-scale agriculture starting around 100 B.C. The ancient Romans kept domesticated livestock—cows, sheep and goats—which excrete methane gas, a byproduct of digestion. Around the same time, in China, the Han dynasty expanded its rice fields, which harbor methane-producing bacteria. Also, blacksmiths in both empires produced methane gas when they burned wood to fashion metal weapons. After those civilizations declined, emis- sions briefly decreased.
Then, as human population and land use for agricul- ture increased worldwide over the centuries, atmospheric methane slowly climbed. Between 100 B.C. and A.D. 1600, methane emissions rose by nearly 31 million tons per year. According to the most recent data, the United States alone generates some 36 million tons of methane per year.
"The ice core data show that as far back as the time of the Roman Empire, human [activities] emitted enough methane gas to have had an impact on the methane signature of the entire atmosphere," Sapart says.
Although such emissions weren't enough to alter the climate, she says, the discovery that humans already were altering the atmosphere on a global scale was "tremendously surprising."
The discovery will compel scientists to rethink predic- tions about how future methane emissions will affect climate. "It used to be that before 1750, everything was considered 'natural,'" Sapart says, "so the base line needs to be reconsidered, and we need to look farther back in time to see how much methane there was before humans got involved."

In this article it talks about how the chinese and romans polluted their homes, but i'm curious how the babylonians polluted their homes. Please answer this asap!

The problem that I've always had with ice core gas samples is. How permeable is ice? Especially under pressure. Is the permeability different for carbon dioxide and methane?
Posted by Stewart Herring on March 4,2013 | 10:59 AM
Sorry, I don't buy this "belief" system. Sure, there is some science involved but there are so many assumptions that are made. One item that is laughable is the age of the ice cores. There have been studies that have shown that several layers of ice have been laid down much faster than the traditionally accepted scale of time. Global warming is such a scam and is hindering mankinds advancement, especially in America. But also in remote areas where people could benefit from electricity and clean water by simply using basic energies that claimed to be "dirty." What a sad and pathetic joke this is and will be seen as in the future. I'm all for any kind of energies that are discovered in addition to oil, coal etc..that will only add to our opportunities. Do you know where oil and coal come from?? The earth!! Think about it! "Mother Earth" created this energy source not man!

Re: "Classical Gas" by Joseph Stromberg I am amazed at how advancements in science have enabled scientists such as Celia Sapart to be able to distinguish and attribute the source of Antarctic methane to Roman sheep as compared to herds of North American bison or elk or to Chinese bacteria as compared to Amazonian termites and ants. Incredible!
Posted by Scot Gamradt on January 31,2013 | 12:25 PM
I can see how modern industry and exponential population growth over the last few centuries create and contribute 'greenhouse gases' to the atmosphere, but 2000 year old cow farts and blacksmiths? Seems like a stretch to me. And the implication that the decline of TWO ancient civilizations resulted in a decrease of emissions? C'mon. I wish you had a few more pages to elaborate on the research conducted for this study(I subscribe to the magazine, and ironically read this while generating my own greenhouse gas).

To quote a line from Tom Holland's Rubicon about the waning decades of the Republic: "As (Rome's) grip tightened, so the very appearance of her provinces began to alter, as though giant fingers were gouging deep into the landscape. In the east great cities were ransacked for treasure - but in the west it was the earth. The result was mining on a scale not to be witnessed again until the Industrial Revolution. Nowhere was the devastation more spectacular than in Spain."

To get out of this bind, purchasing manager Andy Caron hunted for a dressing manufacturer that could custom develop recipes in quantity. "By manufacturing in bulk, we aimed to eliminate costly labor hours while at the same time maintain consistency," Caron explains. MarketPlace eventually partnered with Arcobasso; the former's culinary team and the latter's food chemists worked together and after many revisions, Arcobasso was able to match the flavor and quality of the original dressings while extending their shelf life. Arcobasso ships and delivers the products through Sysco.
"The dressings held up beautifully in blind taste tests and our guests never even noticed that they were not made onsite," Caron says. He reports that the manufactured dressings have relieved pressure on the full-service kitchens and even though they are more expensive to produce, the price is recouped in labor costs. In addition, the Express locations can now be built as stand-alone units and MarketPlace can expand to other sites without planting a commissary in each area.
New house specialties
A signature house dressing is a surefire way to differentiate your salad program. But should you stick with mainstream ingredients or go for originality? Paul Fiorentino, VP of culinary and operator support services at Ventura Foods, identifies the trends that are currently driving salad dressing development with his customers.
•Ranch, Italian and Caesar are still the top three dressings, but twists on these classics are starting to emerge. Chipotle Caesar and Santa Fe Ranch, for example, reflect our current preference for more intense flavors.
•Health and wellness is boosting the popularity of vinaigrettes. "They are perceived as a lighter product," Fiorentino says. He's experimenting with Chianti, Chardonnay and other wines to enhance standard vinaigrettes.
•Reducing fat while preserving flavor and mouthfeel is a goal. The industry is exploring starch systems that can replace some of the oil used in traditional dressing formulas.
•Fruit flavors are gaining ground. "Recently, we've been focusing on pomegranate and blueberry—'the superfoods'—which also tie into the health and wellness trend," Fiorentino reports. "Stone fruits, like cherries and peaches, are also popular flavor profiles." He's also drilling down from the familiar to make it more "romantic," substituting Meyer lemons in a lemon-tarragon vinaigrette, for example, or blood oranges in an orange-poppy seed dressing.

Biological and Environmental Research (BER)
The mission of ASR (http://asr.science.energy.gov/), in partnership with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility (ACRF), is to quantify the interactions among aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, dynamics, and thermodynamics to improve fundamental process-level understanding, with the ultimate goal to reduce the uncertainty in global and regional climate simulations and projections.
To accomplish this mission ASR utilizes continuous long-term datasets that provide measurements of radiation, aerosols, clouds, precipitation, dynamics, and thermodynamics over a range of environmental conditions at several fixed and mobile ACRF sites situated in climatically diverse locations. These datasets are supplemented with laboratory studies and shorter-duration ground-based and airborne field campaigns to target specific atmospheric processes under a diversity of locations and atmospheric conditions. The long- and short-term data, together with models, are employed to understand and parameterize the processes that govern the atmospheric components and their interactions over all pertinent scales. Finally, ASR seeks to develop integrated, scale-bridging test-beds for model parameterizations that incorporate this process-level understanding of the life cycles of aerosols, clouds, and precipitation in numerical models.
Announcements are posted on the DOE Office of Science Grants and Contracts Web Site and at grants.gov Information about preparing and submitting applications, as well as the DOE Office of Science merit review process, is available at the DOE Office of Science Grants and Contracts Web Site. For current announcements, visit BER Funding Opportunities.
Research from the ASR program results in improved physical formulations leading to the state-of-the-art science related to clouds, aerosols, radiation, and precipitation. The program is geared to observe and advance understanding of the atmospheric system in a holistic, comprehensive fashion that addresses the full range of interrelated climatic processes. The anticipated end result is that climate models will have reduced uncertainty and improved climate simulation capability so that climate models can be used with increased confidence in decision and policy making.
Funding of projects by the program is contingent on adherence to the BER data sharing policy.
Cloud Life Cycle: Development of retrieval algorithms to understand 3-D distribution of clouds; quantification of microphysical and bulk macrophysical processes of clouds occurring at multiple spatial scales; evaluation of two-moment bulk and other microphysics schemes; improved representations and modeling of shallow and deep clouds; liquid and solid phase clouds.
Aerosol Life Cycle: Research studies on key processes that determine aerosol formation, composition, structure, and optical properties, with emphases on the formation of secondary organic aerosols and absorbing carbon aerosols; aerosol direct and indirect effects on radiation.
Cloud-Aerosol-Precipitation Interactions: Cloud-aerosol interactions, including how droplet and crystal nucleation mechanisms are related to the aerosol properties (size, shape, and composition), and how aerosol properties (including optical properties) are modified by those interactions; testing and evaluating the efficacy of current and future coupled meteorological-chemical-aerosol models at multiple spatial scales; observational and modeling studies of aerosol indirect effects on clouds and precipitation; integration of theory, various measurements from in situ and remote sensing platforms, and models; analysis of vertical distribution of radiative properties of aerosols and clouds.

Roommates and CohabitationSelect your roommates carefully. There are legal, financial, and personal implications to consider which will affect your living agreement. The following are some issues that may cause conflict:
• Responsibilities (for housekeeping, cooking, etc.) • Study and Leisure Habits (noise levels, music, entertainment, alcohol and drug issues, cohabitation, etc.) • Payment (of rent, utilities, groceries, etc.) • Standard of Living (cleanliness vs. messiness)
Living Together SuccessfullyTo have a successful group tenancy, it is important that everyone gets together and discusses every aspect of living together, especially where there might be differences of opinion. Before signing a lease, have an honest discussion on your expected living arrangement. Withholding your needs and expectations from housemates will only cause problems later on. Be sure to discuss such things as:
You may think that these precautions are unnecessary, but you should never assume anything about a person with whom you share a rental. Co-tenants may think nothing of using your soap without asking your permission or playing loud music at 2:00 am. Having an open and honest conversation regarding everyone's standards and expectations before moving in will help to insure a pleasant living situation. Clearly defining your roommate expectations should offer a better chance in finding housemates that more fully suit your living needs and preferences.
