page: 103[View Page 103]REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES.
MR. WRIGHT, from the Committee on Manufactures, returned Mr. Branham's bill [H. R. No. 14] for the relief of soldiers' families, &c., with an amendment, and when so amended, recommending its passage.
The report lies on the table.
Mr. MEREDITH, from the Committee on Scientific and Benevolent Institutions, to whom was referred the resolution by Mr. Buskirk,to inquire into the management of said institutions, and whether any officer thereof has furnished them with supplies contrary to law,reported the general satisfactory condition and management of said institutions, and a recital of facts by way of exculpating Andrew Wallace from any charge of violation of law and all suspicion of speculation in the furnishment of supplies of groceries for said institutions.
Mr. BUSKIRK said he had a bill on the subject and on his motion the report was laid on the table.
Mr. STEWART, from the Committee on the State Library submitted a report, commending the service of the late Librarian in the neatness and good order of the room-recommending that $1,000 be annually appropriated for binding and refitting; an increase of the compensation of the Librarian; and a contingent fun in his hands to pay Library expressage; and recommending the repayment of $10 to the late Librarian for expense incurred by him on the Douglas portrait.
Mr. WHITESIDE having learned that the language of his resolution relative to the matter of this claim on the Douglas portrait was taken as a reflection on the official reputation of the late Librarian, he asked leave to withdraw it. He desired to remove any impression of that sort. He regarded the resolution as a mere business transaction.
The SPEAKER said it could not be withdrawn.
Mr. STEWART explained the circumstances under which the late Librarian, Mr. Stevenson, had paid the $10 on the portrait.
On motion of Mr. BRANHAM, the report was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Mr. HENRICKS gave notice, that on to-morrow, or some future day cf the session, he would submit an amendment to the 58th and 59th rules of this House, so as to allow bills to be referred on the first reading.
Mr. GROYES introduced a bill [H. R. 75] for an act empowering railroads to build branches to the neighboring coal mines.
Mr. MILLER, of Clinton, introduced a bill [H. R. 76 ] for an act to amend the 79th and 97th sections of the Common School act, approved March 11, 1861.
Mr. NEWCOMB introduced a bill [H. R. 77,] for an act to provide for the settlement of estates of persons who have been absent from their places of residence and not heard from for seven years or more.
Mr. JOHNSON introduced a bill [H. R. 78,] for an act to provide for the sale of certain lands belonging to the State of Indiana in the counties of Jasper and Newton.
Mr. STRINGER introduced a bill [H. R. 79,] for an act to amend the 6th. 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 20th, 29th and 30th sections of the Road and Supervisor's act, approved March 5, 1859.
Mr. OSBORN introduced a bill [H. R. 80,] for an act to raise revenue for State purposes for the years 1865 and 1866.
Mr. COFFROTH introduced a bill [H. R. 8,] for an act to amend the second section of the act to enable owners of wet land to drain and reclaim them, when the same can be done, without affecting the rights of others.
Which bills were severally read and passed to the second reading.
Mr. MILLER, of Clinton, rose to a privileged question. He made a further application to the House tor further authority to go out and take the testimony of Mr. Waddell, to be read in the contest for his seat here, to aid him in his defense. He feared that the witness would not obey the summons of the Committee. He was expecting same of his friends to move a resolution for him.
Mr. SHOAFF, of Allen, submitted the following:
WHEREAS, the contestor for the seat of Cornelius J. Miller, Representative from the county of Clinton, has been notified by the contestee in the paid case, of his (contestee's) intention to proceed to take the deposition of one B. N. Waddle, on Thursday day the 26th instant, at Micbigantown in Michigan township in said county, to be read in evidence in said case; therefore
Resolved, That the said contestee be allowed to take the deposition of said witness at the said time and place; and that the same be admitted in evidence in said content; and that said contestee be granted leave of absence for that purpose.
Mr. MILLER appealed to the majority to do him justice in this matter. He caused the affidavit of Benjamin M. Waddell to be read by the Clerk, to exculpate him from the censure in some quarters, implied in a surmise that the letter from said Waddell which he had before caused to be read to the House, was not genuine.
Mr. BROWN submitted that Mr. Miller had made a case that the House ought to regard, and send a summons to compel the attendance of this witness.
Mr. KILGORE made a statement of the proceedings of the Committee on Elections, alleging that there was no intention on the part of any member of the committee to prejudice the rights of either party, He wished only that the matter be attended to soon.
Mr. GRIFFITH proposed to limit the time of taking this deposition by adding to the resolution these words: "Provided said depositions be taken within/one week from the present time."
Mr. COLLINS. The gentleman from Allen accepts the modification.
The resolution was adopted.
The SPEAKER announced the special order, viz: the consideration of Mr. Prather's bill [H. R. No. 13] for the relief of the Morgan raid suffer- page: 104[View Page 104] ers-the pending question being on Mr. Brown's amendment.
Mr. BROWN asked and obtained leave to withdraw his amendment, and submit the following amendment to Mr. Shuey's amendment:
Provided, That no person or persons who shall have been duly convicted by any competent court having jurisdiction of the offense, of having accepted a commission or commissions from any person or persons, State or States, or other enemies of this State or of the United States, for the purpose ot joining or commanding any army or band of men hostile to, or in rebellion against, this State or the United States, or who shall knowingly and wilfully and or assist any enemies in open war, or persons in rebellion against this State or the United States, by joining their armies, or by enlisting, or procuring, or persuading others to enlist for that purpose, or by furnishing such enemies or persons in rebellion with arms, ammunition or provisions, or any other article for their aid or comfort, or by shipping, sending or carrying to such enemies or rebels, or their agents, any arms, ammunition or provisions, or other articles for their aid or comfort, or by carrying on a traitorous correspondence with them, or shall form, or be in any wise concerned in forming any combination or plot or conspiracy for betraying the State or the United States, or the armed forces of either into the hands or power of any foreign enemy, or of any organization or pretended Government, engaging resisting the law or authority of the Government of the United States of America, or shall give or send any pretended intelligence to said Government--such person or persons shall not be entitled to the benefits of the foregoing bill.
Mr. BUSKIRK moved an order, that when the House adjourns it shall be till 2 o'clock P. M. this day; and he moved to postpone the further consideration of the special order till that hour.
The motionswere severally agreed to.
The SPEAKER next announced the order of the consideration of the hill [S. No. 49] to repay Winslow, Lanier & Co , &c.,-the question being on the adoption of Mr. Brown's amendment.
Mr. BRANHAM, (being entitled to the floor,) said it was enough for us to know that the reason this interest was still unpaid was in the failure of the last Legislature, The honor of the State was pledged for the payment of this interest. It was not put upon the ground of a legal obligation, but on higher ground. When the State pledged her honor, it amounted to more than simple compliance with law. The Governor of the State, as every man should, felt an interest in preserving the honor and integrity of the State; and he set about, as in duty bound, to see what he could do in order to preserve the public credit; and he found those who were not only able but willing to step forward and pay this interest. I know that in the last canvass it was said on the opposite side, that they never would refund one dollar of this money. That issue was discussed before the people; and the people made their verdict, and with that verdict I am content.
The gentleman from Floyd has made a speech on this subject, in which he carried out the idea that the Governor had trampled under foot the Constitution of the State, and that it was by disregarding that instrument that he was enabled to make these payments. But still we point to this as a faithful act of the Executive Governor Morton never attempted to use one single dollar of the public money to meet this public obligation. He did not propose to divert from the State or County Treasuries one dollar of money controlled by law. But in obedience to the requirements of law he goes about to see if he can maintain the public credit of the State--and he accomplishes it. And there is not a true friend of the State--a man who loves honor, truth and justice in this broad land--but will applaud the act of the Governor, and applaud the act of those men who stepped forward and saved the public credit. And all the gentleman's remarks about violating the Constitution has no more to do with this matter than Don Quixotte's fight with the wind will.
But following the gentleman from Floyd, comes the gentleman from Monroe with an amendment to pay these men the same amount of interest due on our bonds.
Mr. B. rehearsed the manner of the origination ot this State debt--how the five per cent. bonds were given-and how the 2 1/2 per cents--for accumulated interest.
And now, when the Treasury is full of money we refuse to pay this interest. One gentleman says, the State is sovereign, and they can not compel us to pay interest, and you may take what you can get. If that is what is meant by sovereignty, I thank God that I am not a sovereign. But, sir, I will say that no honest man-I make no pretensions as a lawyer-can excuse the State from paying interest on this interest from the time it fell due until it shall be paid.
He gave illustrations. He did not propose to ventilate the session of 1863 till we shall have got through with these financial questions. Not one dollar of those deposits by Mr. Brett was paid on this interest.
Mr. BROWN. Will the gentleman explain then why those deposits of $640,000 were made?
Mr. BRANHAM. I cannot explain an action that never took place.
Mr. BROWN. Why then did Winslow, Lanier & Co. assign their assignment from the bondholders to M. L. Brett?
Mr. BRANHAM. I will state the facts. After the failure to pay the interest in July, 1863, Governor Morton made an arrangement with Winslow, Lanier &Co. to make the requisite advancements. But in consequence of a secret combination here in Indiana, Mr. Walker, Agent of State, refused access to the books, so that the interest could not be paid properly. I could read the correspondence that took place thereupon-and I will say that the House owes it to the country to publish that correspondence-but I will not consume time. But after a while they got a copy of the Stock Register-some time in December, 1863, and this company made their deposits for the interest. On the first of January, 1864, their deposits had not all been taken ont. Then they deposited, I think, $94,000 more, for the purpose of paying the January interest.
At that time not one dollar had been received in New York from Indiana. They had also paid the interest accruing the July following. And sometime about the first of November, 1864, Mr. Lanier came out here and assign- page: 105[View Page 105] ed to Mr. Brett receipts for the interest they had paid, and Mr. Brett makes a special deposit in New York, to his own credit, of about $400,000. Not one dollar of that has been used by Winslow, Lanier & Co., and M. L. Brett can take it out at any time. Consequently, this firm have not used one dollar ot the State's money in this transaction. "What I talk about I got from Mr. Brett. It is true that the money is there to his credit; and it is true, also, that if this bill passes, Winslow, Lanier & Co. will get that money. This is the object of the bill- to settle for the payment of this interest on the State debt, with interest at the New York rate.
Mr. DUNHAM. This $630,000 was on special deposit; was it for the purpose of inducing Winslow, Lanier & Co. to pay the January interest; and they refused to pay the January interest until that money was deposited.
Mr. BRANHAM explained that Winslow, Lanier & Co. had checked out money deposited for a special purpose. He had the statement of Mr. Lanier corroborated by Mr. Brett, that they bad not used one dollar of that $630,000.
Mr. DUNHAM. What benefit did they expect to derive from that deposit of $630,000?
Mr. BRANHAM could say nothing more than he had already with reference to the benefit they expected from that deposit.
He replied to Mr. Buskirk's allegation yesterday, that "the bolt" of the last session was not on account of the certainty of the passage of the military bill. He suggested that that bill was maneuvered in the secret counsels of the opposition. He, at that session, appealed to the Committee on Ways and Means to pass over that bill, and let us do the pending business of pressing public importance. He told the House that bill should not pass. He gave emphatic notice. If they did not intend to pass that bill why was it passed to the engrossment? He recited something of the severity of parliamentary oppression indured by the minority in that Legislature--a motion that the door be closed, and a remonstrance against it applied to the doorkeeper, which could not fully be expressed in words. He regarded it as the proudest period of his public service to have resisted the majority of that House of Representatives, and it would have been well for all the border States if the designs of unscrupulous partizans could have been as successfully resisted in them.
Mr. BUSKIRK next took the floor. He submitted again that the Military bill was not the true pretext for the bolt. He stated the duty of minorities generally. They should not act with sole reference to embarrassing the majority. He quoted Mr. Branham's opinion that the Constitution justified the majority in bolting, pending the report of the committee to wait on the Governor on the second day of that session ; and with regard to the right of revolution-more than a month before the Military bill was reported. Mr. Branham then claimed the right of revolution in its broadest sense. He also read from the same official record [The Brevier Reports] a sketch of his own remarks at that time, showing the small difference between disunionism in the South and the principle by which it was sought to justify the Republican bolt of the last session.
Mr. B. alleged that it was the inflammatory speeches of the gentleman from Jefferson [Mr. Branham.] that brought about the vote ordering the engrossment of the "Military Bill." The majority were not to be intimidated by the gentleman. It was well known that that bill was voted down in three caucuses, and that the Military Committeerefused to report it, and Mr. Hanna had to introduce it himself.
Mr. BRANHAM (in his seat,) why did not the majority bring back the minority?
Mr. BUSKIRK. They had not the power to restrain such a disregard of the Constitution and laws. He had shown that the gentleman was an apologist for bolting. When he (Mr. B.) consented to bolt, he would not justify himself under the Constitution.
By way of answer to Mr. Griffith yesterday, be read the ten several conditions on which the Republican members of the last House were willing to come back to their places?, and he canvassed their character, and the dishonor that would have followed on the submission of the majority. A conqueror could hardly propose harder terms than did this recusant minority. No wonder that their terms were rejected with scorn and loathing.
He then showed the condition of the calendar of business at the time of the bolt, in connection with the rules requiring two-thirds to take up business out of order, and inferred the impossibility of the passage of that Military bill-151 bills on the Speaker's table, having precedence of that bill.
Mr. KILGORE inquired whether there was not a time early in March, when the Republicans asked but one condition on which they would return?
Mr. BUSKIRK admitted that the gentleman did so propose, but it was not in writing, and considered too late by the caucus, and that proposition also placed the majority at the mercy of the minority. Those interviews were regarded somewhat in the light of the attempted negation up there at Niagara Falls.
Mr. GREGORY, of Warren, said hereafter he should insist on the enforcement of the 31st rule. No member shall speak twice without leave. He denied that there was any issue before the people with reference to that previous Military bill. He stated what were the issues of 1862. The Democrats succeeded that year, because they would have a more vigorous prosecution of the war. The difficulty with the last House of Representatives was that they endeavored to make issues, instead of carrying out the decisions of the people. He denounced the last Legislature, and especially the Military bill, the climax of its absurdity, and disregard of the Constitution. He then recited the issues of the canvass of 1864, especially the bolting question, and the executive acts of Governor Morton, and the Republicans were sustained by a triumphant majority. He justified his bolting on the ground that it was taken with the motive to counteract and resist the tendencies to revolution.
In conclusion, I will say to gentlemen of the other side, oppose this bill as bitterly as you please-defeat it if you can-but before-you cast that dishonor upon the State of Indiana, for God's sake, by some act of yours, blot page: 106[View Page 106] out her proud record in this war for the preservation of the Union. Ignore your association and connection with the brave sons of the Hoosier State, whose blood has reddened every battle-field, from Gettysburg to the Rio del Norte. Tear from the flags deposited in the tender keeping of the State, to perpetuate the valor of her sons, the names of the sanguinary fields upon which they have vindicated and sustained the proud name of Indiana, and which you propose to destroy by your opposition to this bill. Say to the world that you have lost all sense of honor--all patriotism--all regard for the men who have sacrificed their lives for the preservation of the Union, and then place upon the journals of the House, if you will, your votes to go down through all time to come, so that future generations, when you, Mr. Speaker, and I, and all who hear me now have gone down to the slient grave-when the mould shall have gathered upon our memories, as it will upon our tombs, may pronounce upon your action and mine in reference to this bill and the vindication of the honor of the State and her patriotic dead, the verdict we respectively deserve.
And then the House took a recess till two o'clock P. M.
Mr. DUNHAM rose to a personal explanation. The other day, in debate on this bill, (Mr. Prather's H. R. No. 13) the gentlemen from Delaware saw proper to contradict a statement he then made. He now held in his hand the Ritual of the Union League, and he desired to read with reference to the truth of what he then affirmed. Article 10, page 2 of that document he read:
"Each member of this lodge shall promptly provide himself with at least one good shotgun, musket or rifle, and a sufficient supply of fixed ammunition for the effective use of the same."
He stated also that he was misrepresented in the Indianapolis Journal in the statement that "Mr. Dunham defended the order in its acts," referring to the Sons of Liberty. So far from justifying that order, he had constantly and earnestly condemned all secret political orders and associations.
Mr. NEWCOMB had not seen the article referred in the Journal--certainly he did not write it. But he understood the gentleman to justify their arming.
Mr. DUNHAM. The whole history of his life was a testimony against bearing arms secretly about the person.
Mr. BROWN submitted a motion to refer the bill and amendments to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. BUSKIRK proposed to amend the fourth section by adding these words to the end of the section:
"And shall as soon as their labors are completed, report their proceedings and the facts upon which each claim is founded, to the "Revisory Board," separating said claims into the following classes:
- Claims for property taken, destroyed, or injured by rebels.
- Claims for property taken, destroyed, or injured by Union forces under the command of U. S. officers.
- Claims for property taken, destroyed, or injured by Union forces not under the command of United States officers, with a statement showing specifically in each case under what circumstances, and by what authority, such property was so taken, injured and destroyed.
- Each claimant for personal property shall prove whether the same was listed in his name in 1863, for taxation in this State and if so, whether be placed the valuation thereon; and no claimant for the loss or destruction of property so listed, and valued by himself, shall be allowed a greater sum than such valuation.
Mr. BROWN. The reason why he desired this matter to go to the Judiciary Committee was this: If the amendment of the gentleman from Elkhart and Lagrange be adopted, there will have to be two Commissions appointed one to inquire into the legality of the claims and the other to inquire whether the person to whom the claim, is owing is loyal or disloyal, He disputed the power of a commission to sit on such a grave question, &c.
The motion was agreed to.
On motion by Mr. MILLER, of Tippecanoe, the regular order of business was suspended, and the House took up the bill [S. No. 49,] to repay Winslow, Lanier & Co.
The question pending being on the adoption of Mr. Brown's amendment.
Mr. WRIGHT having the floor, recited the history of the State debt. The faith of the State was pledged for the interest. It was the opinion of eminent, lawyers that, if the State failed in paying this interest, her creditors might come back for the original amount of the debt. He also adverted in deprecating terms to the course of the opposition in the issues of the late election canvass, and the proceedings of the last House of Representatives. When he had concluded-he demanded the previous question.
Mr. BROWN desired the floor.
Mr. DUNHAM desired to offer an amendment, to be read for information.
Mr. WRIGHT adhered to the demand, and there was a second affirmative 38. negative 35.
Mr. BROWN and Mr. COFFROTH demanded the yeas and nays on the question, Shall the main question be ordered, which being taken resulted-yesas 48, nays 37 so the main question, viz: Shall Mr. Brown's amendment be adopted, was ordered to be put; and the yeas and nays having been ordered thereon, and being taken, resulted-yeas 33, nays 52, as follows.
YEAS-Messrs. Abbett, Bird. Brown, Burwell, Buskirk, Coffroth, Collins, Colover, Croan, Dunham, Glazebrook, Gregg, Hargrove, Harrison, Hunt, Lasselle, Lemon, Lopp, Milroy, O'Brien. Osborn, Perigo, Puett, Richardson, Roach, Shoaff, of Allen, Shoaff, of Jay, Stenger, Stuckey, Sullivan, of Scott, Thatcher, Veach and White-38.
NAYS-Messrs. Banta, Bonner, Boyd, Branham, Burnes, Chambers, Church, Cox, Crook, Emerson, Ferris, Foulke, Goodman, Gregory, of Montgomery, Gregory, of Warren, Griffith, Groves, Henricks, Hershey, Higgins, Hogate, Hoover, Johnson, Kilgore, Major, Meredith, Miller, of Tippecanoe, Montgomery, McVey, Newcomb, Olleman, Prather, Reese, Rhodes, Rice, Riford, Sabin, Shuey, Sim, Stewart, Stringer, Sullivan, of Posey and Vanderburg, Trusler, Upson, Welch, White, Whiteside, Willis, Woodruff, Woods, Wright, Zigler and Mr. Speaker-52.
So the amendment was rejected, and the question recurred on ordering the bill to be engrossed.
page: 107[View Page 107]Mr. DUNHAM desired to propose an amendment and moved to refer the bill and amendment to the Committee on Claims.
The SPEAKER explained the order, ruling out the amendment.
Mr. BROWN, Mr. COFFROTH and Mr. BUSKIRK insisted that the bill was still being considered on the second reading.
The SPEAKER. The main question on Saturday was simply on the amendment; but to-day when the bill may be passed the third reading there was another vote beyond the Amendment, viz, the ordering the bill to the third reading, and that question is reached by the operation of the previous question. Authorities were presented.
The bill was then ordered to the third reading and read the third time by the Clerk.
Mr. DUNHAM now moved his amendment again, with the motion to refer the bill to the Committee on Claims with special instructions.
Th'e SPEAKER held that the previous question carried the bill through to the title.
Mr. DURHAM and Mr. BUSKIRK argued that the force of the previous question was exhausted in the vote ordering the bill to be read the third time. That there was now another question beyond the ordering to the third reading, not under the operation of the previous question, namely: "Shall the bill pass?" and that the amendment was in order.
Mr. PUETT insisted that we could discuss the merits of the bill on its passage; and if so there was no force remaining in the previous question.
Mr. DUNHAM insisted that there was a necessary implication for the admission of his amendment by way of reference with special instructions, in the latter clause of the 59th rule. His motion would be to refer the bill to the Committee on Claims with instructions to strike out in lines eight and nine these words: ''From the date of the deposit to meet skid interest to the time of payment" and insert in lieu these words: * "from the time of payment of interest paid by them until the time of deposit with them by the Treasurer of State in November, 1864."
Voices. ''Object."
Mr. BRANHAM demanded the previous question; and there was a second, by the House.
Mr. COFFROTH and Mr. BROWN made the point: If the Chair hold the bill under the operation of the previous question, how does the Chair entertain a motion by the gentleman from Jefferson for the previous question?
The SPEAKER overruled the point.
And so the main question was ordered, and the bill put on its final passage, the vote resulting--yeas 52, nays 33--as follows:
YEAS-Messrs. Banta, Bonner, Boyd, Banham, Burnes, Chambers, Church, Cox, Crock, Emerson, Ferris, Foulke, Goodman, Gregory, of Montgomery, Gregory, of Warren, Griffith, Groves, Henricks, Hershey, Higgins, Hogate, Hoover, Johnson, Kilgore, Major, Meredith, Miller, of Tippecanoe, Montgomery, McVey, Newcomb, Olleman, Prather, Reese, Rhoads, Rice, Riford, Sabin, Shuey, Sim, Stewart, Stringer, Sullivan, of Posey and Vanderburg, Trusler, Upson, Welch, Whiteside, Willis, Woodruff, Woods, Wright, Zeigier, and Mr. Speaker-52.
NAYS-Messrs. Abbett, Beckett, Bird, Brown, Burwell, Buskirk, Coffroth, Collins, Croan, Dunham, Glazebrook, Gregg, Hargrove, Harrison, Hunt, Lasselle, Lemon, Lopp, Milroy, O'Brien, Osborn, Patterson, Perigo, Richardson, Roach, Shoaff, of Allen, Shoaff, of Jay, Stenger, Stuckey, Sullivan, of Scots, Thatcher, Veach, and White-33.
Mr. SHOAFF, of Jay, (when his name was called,) explained that while he was willing to pay all just,and legal debts of the State, he was not convinced that the bill in its present shape should meet his approbation; and therefore he voted "No."
So the bill passed the House of Representatives.
Mr. BROWN desired unanimous consent to offer a resolution for allowing Messrs. Glazebrook and Milroy $30 for expenses incurred by them for carrying home the remains of the late Mr. Shaffer.
Mr. HENRICKS objected.
Mr. BUSKIRK desired unanimous consent to present a claim of Morrison and Ray.
Mr. DUNHAM objected.
Mr. BROWN made an ineffectual motion to adjourn.
Mr. NEWCOMB moved to reconsider the vote just taken, and to lay the motion en the table.
Mr. BROWN demanding the yeas and nays, they were ordered, and being taken, the vote was reported--yeas 56, nays 27.
So the bill was finally passed the House of Representative beyond reconsideration.
The SPEAKER announced the regular order, the consideration of messages and bills from, the Senate.
The bill [S. No. 1] to appropriate $75,000 for the expenses of the present General Assembly.
The bill [S. No. 4] providing tor records in case of changing county lines.
The bill [S. No. 7] changing the times of Common Pleas in Blackford, Jay, &c.
The bill [S. No. 8] to amend section 58 of the city corporation act, approved March 9, 1857.The joint resolution [S. No. 10] relative to the establishment of a bonded warehouse at Evansville.
The bill [S. No. 11] to repeal section 1 of the Court of Conciliation act.
The bill [S. No. 14] to amend the act relative to County Treasurers-
Were severally passed the first reading.
The joint resolution [S. No. 5] affecting certain persons therein named on the United States pension roll, was ordered to the third reading.
Mr. GRIFFITH'S bill [H. R. No. 4] fixing the per diem and milage of members of the General Assembly, and providing officers therefor, &c., coming up in order, with the amendment of the Committee on Fees and Salaries, proposing to strike out the 2d and 3d sections.
Mr. GRIFFITH explained the provisions of the bill, showed wherein it proposes to amend the general statute, page 356, and urged considerations against the adoption of the amendment.
Mr. BUSKIRK preferred to retain these sections.
Mr. MAJOR. It was thought by the committee that the constitutional provieion was sufficiently explicit as to officers of the General Assembly.
Mr. BUSKIRK. The Constitution prescribes that each House shall elect its own officers, and the laws prescribe what the offices shall be.
page: 108[View Page 108]Mr. BRANHAM. It was a law that would never be observed; but the committee objected chiefly to the compensation and the authority of the principals to appoint assistants, beyond the control of the House.
Mr. GRIFFITH. He did not understand that the bill gave the privilege of the appointments of assistants beyond the control of the House. He observed also that the committee did not recommend the passage of the bill.
Mr. BUSKIRK proposed to amend further by inserting appropriately, these words after the words "shall appoint their assistants," "except the pages, who shall be appointed by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives."
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. KILGORE proposed to amend by making the compensation of Clerks and Door-keepers "$5" instead of "$4,"
It was rejected.
Mr. GRIFFITH proposed an amendment to obviate the objection of Mr. Branham, by appropriately inserting these words: "If their respective houses permit."
It was agreed to.
Mr. HENRICKS proposed an amendment byway of substitute, playing upon the fact of the hundred dollars appropriation to each member for newspapers and postage, as a precedent for each successive General Assembly voting its own pay.
Mr. BUSKIRK moved to reject it.
Mr. HENRICKS withdrew it.
Mr. HIGGINS proposed to amend, by striking out all that part of the bill relating to the compensation, of officers;
Which was agreed to.
And then, on motion of Mr. GRIFFITH, it was referred to a Select Committee of Five.
Mr. BUSKIRK now asked and obtained leave to present the claim heretofore indicated by him, and it was referred to the Committee on Claims.
Mr. NEWCOMB had leave to present a memorial from the same parties, and it took the same reference.
Mr. WHITESIDE, from the Committee on the Judiciary, obtained unanimous consent to report back Mr. Coffroth's bill [H. R. No. 46,] fixing the times of courts in the 11th Judicial Circuit, with an amendment.
Mr. COFFROTH asked the indulgence of the House to consider the bill now.
Mr. BUSKIRK objected, in order to get up his amendment of the Rules, but failing in that, he withdraw his objection.
On the motion of Mr. WHITESIDE, the order of business was suspended, and Mr. Coffroth's bill was taken up.
The amendment of the Committee was concurred in.
Mr. LASSELLE. This bill was simply reversing the order; of the Courts in this Circuit. He should vote against the bill unless good and sufficient reasons be given for the changes.
Mr. COFFROTH said the changes proposed met the approbation of the Judge; and they were desirable for other reasons which he recited.
Mr. WHITESIDE gave further reasons for the proposed change of times.
Mr. LASSELLE did not think the public interest required the proposed changes.
Mr. WHITESIDE again urged the passage of the bill.

Classic PoemsWith the growth of trade and British Empire, English language had been widely used outside England. In the 21st century, only a small percentage of the world's native English speakers live in England, and there is also a vast population of non-native speakers of English who are capable of writing poetry in the language. A number of major national poetries, including the American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and Indian poetry have emerged and developed. Since 1921, Irish poetry has also been increasingly viewed as a separate area of study. Listed are collection of classic Hindi and English poetry.

How do I find a job I love during these times?
How can I find balance in my life?
What do I do now that things have changed?
Who am I?
It wasn't that long ago I was asking myself those same questions. For me, life turned into a journey of self-discovery after a devastating transition. I always felt a strong desire to help people, but after being lost in the woods without a compass it became my mission to make sure others would not find themselves in a similar situation.

Android outshines Apple in 4th quarter
Android has swiped second place from Apple as it climbs the ranks of the top smartphone platforms in the U.S., ComScore reported yesterday.
In the fourth quarter, the Android operating system accounted for 28.7 percent of U.S. smartphone market share, edging out Apple's OS, which captured 25 percent of the market. That represents a reversal from the third quarter when ComScore tracked Android with a 21.4 percent share and Apple with 24.3 percent.
The rankings show BlackBerry maker Research In Motion still at the top. However, its 31.6 percent slice of the market … Read more

Was Romney Wrong to Criticize Obama?
Was Romney Wrong to Criticize Obama?
Created by msouder on 9/13/2012 8:48:02 AM
The story in the Middle East is rapidly changing. Because I cannot figure out how to link as easily on this blog, you can see more updates on my Facebook page which can be accessed by tapping the Facebook logo above my blog. Of course, the WOWO Facebook page also has breaking news as do the other individual blogs. WOWO offers a complete package of breaking news.
Here I'd like to cover a few points in more detail. Should Mitt Romney have blasted the Administration response?
After the first statement released through our Egyptian Embassy, Mitt Romney blasted it as an example of misguided policies of the Obama Administration that constantly apologize, come across as weak and almost beg to get pushed around by the bullies within that region. It is important to remember that the Libyan attack had not occurred.
He has been roundly criticized (especially by Obama apologists) for speaking out. As Democrat Indiana Senate candidate Joe Donnelly said on the Charly Butcher Show this morning, many feel that we should show national unity when America is under this kind of pressure. That is the mainstream liberal answer, echoed to a degree by Senator John McCain.
1) No precedent. The liberal critics never let up on the War in Iraq even when thousands of our soldiers were getting shot at, nor did they during the Vietnam War, nor - for that matter - did America Firsters during WWII until it became in their interest to do so. In other words, the precedent is that critics shut up when the majority of the people more or less force them too by ostracizing them. If not, like during Vietnam, they are not silent until the crisis is over.
2) We are not at war yet. I was very critical of President Clinton's proposal to send troops into the Balkans, and opposed such action aggressively. While it actually worked out well, it had great risks and set a precedent for intervening in regional conflicts that only indirectly impact the security of America. (All actions in the world can be said to impact us, so what is the standard?) But, once we were in a full scale conflict, our responsibility - especially elected leaders - need to stand for winning & support the President as much as possible.
3) What if the actions occur near the end of a close political campaign, and the opposition feels the incumbent brought on the conflict by the Administration policies and if he is re-elected, more will occur? (In other words, Romney's current position.)
I would argue that historical precedent and obligation compelled him to speak out, even if it actually hurt his election chances. Too much is at stake. No war is underway. Conflicts exist but that is always true. Romney needs to be cautious not to plunge into specifics or react to rumors (he was precise and careful) but some comments are important. People need to understand what is going on.
4) The substance of the Romney/Obama debate. a) was the Administration responsible for the quote? Of course. They appoint the people. All cables are micro-managed. If not, that itself is an issue: what kind of sloppy organization would allow such a statement to be released. b) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's second statement was just about as bad, which was then re-amended (and wiping from the record some of the first one). BTW her future career probably has been damaged. We shall see - too early to tell yet. c) The core is whether being Mr. Nice Guy in a region where the thugs have guns & cut people's heads off while the nice guys read books & enjoy good food is a workable strategy. I, like Romney & Reagan & the Bushes & Israel, think such an idea isn't just naive but extremely dangerous (which actions again prove). d) Has the President's lack of interest in intelligence briefings (attended 43.8% of his briefings, the empty chair attended 56.2%) undermined the quality or other parts of our information? e) A corollary: how in the world did we allow our Ambassador to be in Benghazi, a terrorist hotbed, on 9/11?
We will get more information hourly but the issues are far beyond just Libya: it is a fundamental difference in strategy.

By Rebecca Evans
International fraudsters are targeting people in Sussex claiming to be Government officials.
A 79-year-old lost his life-savings to one gang who conned him into handing over £5,000.
Roy Watkins said he is "stupid" for believing the callers claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice who said they would "refund" him thousands of pounds he had overpaid.
He is one of three known victims in Sussex who have lost more than £5,000 each.
One 84-year-old victim in Hassocks gave up a staggering £20,000 before realising he was being conned.
Police say the scam is "huge" and that potentially millions of pounds have been conned out of people – mainly the elderly – across the country.
They believe the perpetrators are Indian and the scam may originate or be based in New Delhi.
Mr Watkins, who lives in Chichester, started receiving calls a year ago and transferred £1,500 via Western Union or Ukash vouchers.
The scammers said he had to pay the cash in order to receive far greater sums they claimed would be couriered to his address.
When the fictional cheques did not arrive, the con artists said there had been a problem with payment and asked him to send more money over.
Despite Western Union staff in Chichester telling Mr Watkins it was a scam he still paid the money through a different branch.
Speaking to The Argus the father-of-three said: "They are very convincing. I am gullible.
"I was stupid.
"The first half of my life I trusted people and got away with it. I am penniless now."
PC Jayne Sharpe, who is investigating the scam, said she had received calls from forces across the country whose residents have been affected.
She said the callers use the identity of their previous victims to provide real addresses for the transfers to be written out to.
PC Sharpe said there are potentially dozens of other victims in Sussex that have been too embarrassed to come forward or who did not want to contact police.
A woman from Telscombe Cliffs said she was rung by people claiming she had been mis-sold PPI insurance and that for a fee of £99 she could get £7,000.
PC Sharpe said: "They give them details on how to transfer the money and by the time we get information they have gone.
"It makes me very angry.
"If someone tells you are owed money then tell them to send it to you but don't pay out any money.
"Hang up and call the police."
Anyone who has been affected should contact Sussex Police on 101.

text: In this 122-minute sequel to the 47-minute Versilles -- Rive Gauche (1991), the brothers Bruno and Denis Podalydes provide the central installment of their trilogy of films named after different Versailles train stations. Awkward Albert (Denis Podlydes), a balding nerdy sort, is a soundman working on a political campaign spot in Toulouse where Albert and his buddy Otto (Jean-Noel Broute) donate blood in order to connect with attractive nurse Sophie (Isabelle Candelier). Attending a nature-film premiere in Paris, Albert becomes so shaken by his desire for journalist-filmmaker Anna (Jeanne Balibar) that he begins vomiting, interpreted by Anna as a compliment. Cop Corinne (Cecile Gouillot) is also attracted to Albert. Shown at the 1998 Locarno Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

THE COMPANY responsible for a key part of Cowes Week entertainment has announced it is closing down a festival in Weymouth due to poor visitor numbers.
The news that Mainsail's Bayside Festival in Weymouth, set-up to coincide with Olympic sailing events, was being cut short and the Cowes-based company behind it was going into liquidation, broke as the Isle of Wight Council announced it was looking for a company to take over the running of the Cowes Week Parade Village from next year, for the next three years.
The council is now in talks with Mainsail and other parties with a view to ensuring the Parade Village runs as normal at this year's Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week.
For the past three years Mainsail has run the village, which hosts bars, music, food and entertainment.
Mainsail has also been behind the two-week Bayside Festival in Weymouth, designed to coincide with the nearby Olympic sailing events.
But organisers have said that despite a capacity of 9,000 people a day, the most they have had attend has been less than 4,000.
The event was due to host concerts from live acts including Show of Hands and Chesney Hawks in coming days, but on Twitter organisers said today via @BaysideFestival: "Due to dire visitor numbers to Weymouth, Bayside Festival organisers have elected to voluntarily liquidate the business and close the site."
An Isle of Wight council spokesman said: "We are disappointed to hear that Mainsail, who have made a valuable contribution to the regatta over many years, has gone into administration.
"The Isle of Wight Council is already in advanced negotiations with another company that has much experience in, and knowledge of, the Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week Parade Village with regard to providing the "Parade entertainment and leisure facilities including the Sail for Gold Bar.
"It is hoped an agreement will be reached over the next 48 hours that will ensure the Parade remains an integral part of the Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week spectator and entertainment experience."
*Stuart Quarrie, chief executive of Cowes Week Ltd said he was confident the Parade Village would go ahead.

Suzanne's Career (La Carrière de Suzanne) [DVD]
Director : Eric Rohmer
Screenplay : Eric Rohmer
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1963
Stars : Catherine Sée (Suzanne), Philippe Beuzen (Bertrand), Christian Charrière (Guillaume), Diane Wilkinson (Sophie)
Suzanne's Career (La Carrière de Suzanne) is a tight, brief excursion into dawning self-awareness. The main character is a college student named Bertrand (Philippe Beuzen) who, like all college students, thinks he knows himself and others much better than he does. His best friend is another student, Guillaume (Christian Charrière), who is more aggressive and extroverted and, as a result, is much more successful with women.
Although he is fully aware of it, Bertrand constantly allows Guillaume to manipulate him, especially in his attempts to seduce women. Bertrand does this because he looks up to his friend, although, ironically, he is generally disapproving of the kind of women Guillaume seduces. Since Bertrand idolizes Guillaume, no one is ever good enough for him.
In the film's first scene, Bertrand and Guillaume meet Suzanne (Catherine Sée), a rather plain girl who Bertrand immediately dismisses. Guillaume, however, sets his sights on her. But, once he has conquered her, he loses interest, which only spurs Suzanne's. This sets up an uneasy triangle in which Suzanne begins to flirt with Bertrand and ask him out, with the goal being to make Guillaume jealous. So, once again, Bertrand is allowing himself to be manipulated, but with the delusion that he is somehow above it all.
As the second of Eric Rohmer's "Moral Tales," Suzanne's Career intensifies and expands on many of the themes he established in The Bakery Girl of Monceau (La Boulangère de Monceau), a short film he wrote and directed the year before. Like that film, Suzanne's Career was shot in grainy 16mm on the streets of Paris and stars a handful of youthful unknowns whose naturalism is reflected and reified in Rohmer's classical invisible style (he seems more assured here, without any of the distracting aesthetic flourishes that sometimes marred Bakery Girl). The story also features a self-centered male protagonist who is torn, although, unlike Barbet Schroeder's character in Bakery Girl, Bertrand is torn in more ways than one. Not only is he torn between his simultaneous idolizing and disgust for Guillaume, but he is also pulled between Suzanne and Sophie (Diane Wilkinson), a more traditionally "beautiful" girl after whom he pines.
The heart of the story is in how badly people can treat each other, and we are witness to Bertrand and Guillaume exploiting Suzanne in almost every conceivable way, at one point willfully trying to run her out of money by allowing her to pay for everything. There is something sad and even slightly pathetic about Suzanne, but this is part of Rohmer's plot, as he allows her to emerge victorious in the end, leaving the boyish Bertrand and Guillaume with little more than the realization that they are infinitely more adolescent than they thought.
Suzanne's Career Criterion Collection DVD | |
Suzanne's Career is available exclusively as part of the Criterion Collection's six-disc box set "Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales," which also includes The Bakery Girl of Monceau , La Collectionneuse, My Night at Maud's, Claire's Knee, and Love in the Afternoon. In addition to supplements on each disc, the box set includes a paperback of the original stories by Eric Rohmer, as well as an insert booklet featuring Rohmer's landmark essay "For a Talking Cinema," excerpts from cinematographer Nestor Almendros's autobiography, and new essays by Geoff Andrew, Ginette Vincendeau, Phillip Lopate, Kent Jones, Molly Haskell, and Armond White. | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 |
Anamorphic | No |
Audio | French Dolby Digital 1.0 Monaural |
Subtitles | English |
Supplements | Rohmer's short film Nadja in Paris (1964) |
Distributor | The Criterion Collection |
SRP | $99.95 (box set) |
Release Date | August 15, 2006 |
The new high-definition transfer of Suzanne's Career was taken from a 35mm duplicate negative. It was supervised and approved by director Eric Rohmer. Because the transfer was made from a 35mm duplicate negative, which means it was blown-up from the original 16mm, some of the grain and imperfections of the original medium have been exaggerated, giving the image a somewhat soft look. There isn't much contrast in the image, which tends to wash out the finer details. The image is generally clean, as the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove dirt and debris. If the overall quality of the image seems somewhat lacking when compared to most of Criterion's efforts, it is most likely because of the condition of the elements and the quality of the stock used to shoot the film, and it is still far superior to the previously available disc from Fox/Lorber. Like all the films in this box set, Suzanne's Career is windowboxed. The original monaural soundtrack, which sounds clean and clear, was mastered at 24-bit from the optical soundtrack negative. | |
The only supplement included on this disc is Eric Rohmer's 1964 short film Nadja in Paris (Nadja à Paris), which marked his first collaboration with cinematographer Nestor Almendros, with whom he would work on nine more films, including the final four "Moral Tales." |

babyletto Mercer 3-in-1 Convertible Crib with Toddler Rail
Modern and sleek Dany from Miami, FL– Verified Buyer This crib is absolutely wonderful! It looks great and we cannot wait to have our daughter sleep in it!

I strongly recommend this item if you want a sleek, modern, and simple crib! |
beautiful crib Anabell from Oviedo, FL– Verified Buyer good quality crib, has a shiny finish that makes it perfect for cleaning purposes. |
Love this crib! Danielle from Round Rock, TX– Verified Buyer I love the grey and white coloring of the crib. It is very sleek and modern. One thing I would change is that it seems to be a bit of a short crib. Maybe this is standard-not too sure I would still buy it though. |
Crib Y from North Carolina– Verified Buyer The convertible crib is a great quality crib it was a good price. I am not sure how the assembly was my husband assembled it. |
Great product Lindsay from Kingwood, TX– Verified Buyer This crib looks great and is a good quality product. The only drawback is the difficulty of assembly. I would recommend this product. |
Beautiful crib Christina from Prairie Village, KS– Verified Buyer We purchased the two-tone espressowhite crib - love the modern look of it. Great, fast shipping. The only reason for the 4 star review is when the mattress is in the highest position you can see directly into the drawer underneath. Would be nice if the drawer was covered. But overall a great crib and I can't wait for my little guy to use it! |
beautiful crib........ thomas from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer beautiful, sturdy crib... relatively easy to assemble.. drawer for extras is a nice addition.... had just a few MINOR marks, nothing that ended up showing after assembly.... rich color, and very well built.... just waiting for my grandson to arrive to make it wonderful !!!!!! |

Getting creative to finish 2014 classes
1. Analyze and evaluate: At this point, odds are that programs aren't finding a diamond in the rough that is going to come in and put up huge numbers from Day 1. That doesn't mean good players can't be found. The best way to find value in an oversaturated market is to pinpoint the specific niche that you're looking for. The most cohesive teams are ones that are built with a combination of dynamic playmakers and what Seth Greenberg has dubbed "blend" players -- guys who do whatever is necessary for the good of the team, and there are still plenty of those types of players to be found. Whether you're looking for an outstanding perimeter defender, offensive ball-mover, or court-spacer the key is to know exactly what your roster needs and evaluate specifically for your system while also accounting for intangibles, like toughness and unselfishness, necessary to thrive in such a role.

#AskCoachB: Josh Cunningham update
@PaulBiancardi #askcoachb not a lot of talk about Josh Cunningham. Where do u think he ends up? Iowa State still in the mix?
— Jamie McCullough (@jmccullo) December 9, 2013
His recruiting is still wide open and he has not narrowed down a final list of schools. According to his AAU coach Lance Irvin, Cunningham lists Iowa State among many others at this point such as Oklahoma, Creighton, Minnesota, South Carolina, Bradley, UMass, DePaul and St. John's. It's tough to figure out where he will land as he is in the middle of his season.
In a recent game against Mumford (Detroit) he had 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Cunningham is an undersized power forward with the right approach to the game. He has toughness, bounce and slashes his way to the basket. He is a player that you don't want to face in a game. You want him on your team because he is a true fighter who plays with urgency and makes winning plays.

The ESPN 100 recruit chose the Bruins over SMU, USC, Indiana, Louisville and Kentucky. The Bruins were seen as the favorite and it appeared to be only a matter of time before he chose to continue his career in Westwood, despite Larry Brown and SMU making a strong push.
Bolden is one of the better under-the-radar prospects in the country, but he was able to exhibit his talents in August at the adidas Nations event in California. The finesse 4-man is a willowy, skilled prospect with an intriguing skill set. He can face up his defender and either drain the 19-foot jump shot or display his underrated passing skills. He needs to get considerably stronger and much more assertive, especially in the paint, but his upside is quite impressive.
Steve Alford has a nice nucleus arriving in Westwood next season with the likes of ESPN 100 prospects Kevon Looney (Milwaukee/Hamilton) and Thomas Welsh (Los Angeles/Loyola), as well as skilled 5-man Gyorgy Goloman (Weston, Fla./The Sagemont School). Along with Bolden, this group will provide the Bruins with length, skill and savvy. If UCLA can somehow land a point guard, Alford will have all of his needs met for the 2014 class.
7'1" Jordan Vandenberg from NC State to the NBA next year? #AskCoachB @PaulBiancardi
— carter sadin (@CarterSadin) December 4, 2013
Jordan Vandenberg is playing as well as ever in his career as a fifth-year senior. His defense is helping NC State to a four game winning streak since he returned to the lineup from a high ankle sprain suffered five minutes into the first exhibition this year. He defends the rim and has helped the defensive rebounding category quite a bit as well, pulling down 6.5 rbg. Vandenberg is running the floor greater than ever before in transition with most of his scores coming from plays at the rim for dunks. He is averaging 8.8 points a game and shooting 70 percent from the floor because most of his baskets come from lob catches at the rim and tip-ins/put backs on missed shots. Occasionally he will make a back to the basket move and end up at the free throw line. Speaking of the free throw line, he is only converting at 50 percent.
He is intriguing because of his size (7-foot-1) but most of his game does not translate to the NBA level as an investment pick in the first round. But the NBA scouts are now attending his games to see if he is someone that they could possibly draft in the second round or invite into a camp as a free agent. If none of the above happens he will have a chance to go overseas and play professionally.
Roundtable: Best event of holiday season
The holiday season is a busy time for college basketball recruiters. About a month into the season, and only a couple of weeks removed from the early signing period, recruiting lists tend to be regenerated as coaches learn new things about their team and move on to new prospects.
Combine that with a variety of holiday events that feature several teams in a single location, coupled with a temporary pause in many college schedules for final exams, the next couple of weeks could very possibly be the busiest recruiting period of the high school season, and those tournaments continue past the holiday season.
With coaches out in full force, we asked our team at RecruitingNation what they were most looking forward to in the coming weeks:

Best player
Stanley Johnson (Santa Ana,Calif./Mater Dei)
2014, WF, 6-foot-6, 225 pounds
Status: Signed with Arizona
At this level, once Johnson makes up his mind what his intentions are at either end, he's nearly impossible to stop. He manhandles his defenders with strength, skill, and savvy. He has some similarities (strength/skill) to Shabazz Muhammad, but Johnson is much more fluid as a player.

7-foot junior has rare size and skill
I'll preface my own observations by noting that I'm a thorough believer in multiple evaluations. I've never believed you can truly have a grasp on a prospect until you've seen him multiple times in a variety of different settings, and so clearly I have a long way to go before having this guy pinpointed. Some things, however, were immediately clear.

@PaulBiancardi Syracuse PG Tyler Ennis should be mentioned as one of the Top Freshman this year. Do you agree? #AskCoachB
— Stephen Payette (@s_payette10) December 7, 2013
I agree, as I absolutely loved Tyler Ennis in the high school ranks. What I respected most about his game was the poise in which he played with and how he led.
As a freshman he is doing an outstanding job leading the Orange to a top-5 national ranking in an unassuming fashion. Over nine games he is playing 31 minutes per game, and he is making the most of those minutes.
He serves as Syracuse's primary ball-handler, making decisions and scoring when needed. His assist to turnover ratio is 5:1, which is tremendous . He is nailing the 3-point shot at a 42 percent clip, which is impressive since the college 3-point line is a foot further than then the high school line (20-foot-9 vs. 19-9).
It's obvious that Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, and Aaron Gordon are elite players and difference makers as freshmen, but Ennis is definitely in the conversation as a top-10 freshman.
Biancardi's Breakdown: Rashad Vaughn
Let's break down the game of one of the top shooting guards in the country:

#AskCoachB: Ranking the best frontcourts
@PaulBiancardi Love your work.. give me your top 4 front courts?? Player of the yr?
— frank (@Frank_UkCats) December 4, 2013
1. Kentucky
Dakari Johnson, Julius Randle, Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress make up the most powerful frontcourt in the game. They can score, block shots and rebound with anyone.
2. Arizona
Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski, Aaron Gordon.
This threesome is strong, long and explosive, and they use those gifts on both ends of the floor.
3. Syracuse
C.J. Fair, Rakeem Christmas, DaJuan Coleman, Baye Keita.
This bunch has both length and girth while protecting the basket and finishing inside.
4. Florida
Patric Young, transfer Dorian Finney-Smith (Virginia Tech) and Will Yeguete.
If Freshman Chris Walker becomes eligible in December this group could do serious damage together. They are extremely productive and could be dominant on the inside if Walker is playing.
Player of the Year
Marcus Smart. Nothing seems to faze this All-American. When you easily could have walked away from the college game and you come back, that means you are extremely confident in your ability. He has put up terrific numbers across the board, dominated the action at times and makes his team win -- that's what a POY does.
Grading top mid-major recruiting classes
Annual powerhouses like Xavier, Memphis, Butler, Temple and several others have now been elevated to "high-major" conferences, leaving a void for other mid-major programs to establish their recruiting superiority at their own level.
So after grading the ACC, American, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac 12, and SEC last week, it's now time to examine the best of the rest. Grading mid-major classes can be subjective, meaning there's a little bit of a curve in order to account for the fact that recruiting at this level is tougher than ever before given the unprecedented number of competing programs who can now leverage their high-major conference affiliation.

#AskCoachB: Kentucky in mix for Vaughn?
@PaulBiancardi #AskCoachB heard that UK visited Rashad Vaughn...any chance they could get back in the hunt?
— DD (@BBN_UK_WILDCAT) December 4, 2013
Good timing on your question as I just spoke with Rashad Vaughn last night. Vaughn, who said he has no timetable for a final decision, is one of the few difference makers left on the board and he has been playing not only at a high level but efficiently as well. In November, he visited Iowa State and UNLV and enjoyed both visits. He recently set up a visit to North Carolina for the weekend of February 15 when the Tar Heels host Pittsburgh and that would be his third official visit. Kentucky has jumped back in the race and the Wildcats are trying to get him on an official visit. He told me he plans on visiting Kentucky, but has not set up anything yet. If he visits there, that would leave him with one remaining visit with four schools left on his list. Arizona, Baylor, Kansas and Minnesota all pushing for that last visit.

2012 Arizona General Election updates
Saturday, November 10th, 2012Most of you know by now that thousands of early and provisional ballots weren't counted on Election night November 6, and are in the process of being counted by each county elections division in Arizona. I will daily report updates & any changes of status on this post, so check back here. Counting must be done by next Friday Nov. 16 per state law, but apparently extensions are allowed.
Updated: 11/19/12 5:30 p.m. (see below)
Prop. 118 Permanent State Land Fund was losing on Election Night but has flipped to the winning side & the gap is widening:
Prop. 409 Bonds for City Street Improvements (switched to winning side on Nov. 12, first time since Election Night. No votes to be counted 11/17/12 but counting of provisional ballots resumed on 11/18/12.) Final tally done 11/19/12 and Prop. 409 won by 953 votes.
The Congressional race in CD 2 has been very close and the lead has been switching back & forth, but Barber started leading on Nov. 10 and has declared victory, with McSally conceding on 11/17/12). Final tally done 11/19/12, Barber won by 2454 votes.
Ron Barber (D), incumbent CD 8, 147,338
Martha McSally (R) 144,884
I will continue to monitor the AZ Sec. of State website (click here) and the Pima County Elections Division website (click here) for updates on Prop. 118, Prop. 409 and CD 2.
Apparently in CD 1 Democratic former Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick has declared victory over Republican Jonathan Paton, who has conceded. Paton has now ran for Congress twice (in CD 8 and CD 2) and lost both races.
No change so far in who's leading in other close races (and I will only update if there is any change of status):
LD 9 House (Republican Ethan Orr and Democrat Victoria Steele leading for 2 seats)
LD 10 House (Democrats Stefanie Mach & incumbent Bruce Wheeler leading for 2 seats)
PCC Governing Board District 5 (incumbent Marty Cortez leading for one seat)
TUSD Governing Board (Kristel Foster, incumbent Mark Stegeman, & Camy Juarez leading for 3 seats)
The other races appear to be decided, but stay tuned till the final & official count.
For my Election night posts, click here for the candidate tally, and here for the propositions tally, updated to 11/9/12 but for only the close races.

Japanese peripherals maker Truly Ergonomic, which designs stuff that lives up to its namesake, launched the 209 mechanical keyboard with an English-QWERTY layout (model: TECK209). The keyboard splits the alphabet keyset into two parts optimized for the way your two hands should be positioned for maximum ergonomic-comfort. The portion between the two halves are used to fill important formatting keys, each half has its own little space-bar. The Truly Ergonomic 209 uses Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches, which are known to provide good tactile feedback, and are durable for up to 20 million key presses. Backing the keys is a controller that supports N-key rollover with USB, letting you press any number of keys simultaneously. Measuring 333 × 238 mm (WxD), including its palm cushions, the keyboard weighs about 1.2 kg. It is priced around 19,800 JPY (US $235). Source: Hermitage Akihabara
Good to see ideas with ergonomy in mind. But pic 4 is a marketing diagram, nothing in it is real, specially body proportions and arms.
It depicts your arms are by your side with just your forearms raised, not shrunk Either way this keyboard would do nothing for my pain in my wrists/forearms, I have RSI due to keystrokes and mouse clicking. They need to fix that too!
I have never tried one those. I wonder if this side-oriented stuff really works. I'd love to give a spin on one of those.
Funny yesterday I was forced to type in a position similar to the first diagram due to cat circumstances and it screwed my wrist up so bad I couldn't move it without extreme pain. Sorted itself out overnight though. So they're right it's bad but that's not really a position anyone would normally type in.
everytime i see one of these keyboards i just can't imagine using one since i'm so used to an original keyboard that i was taught on. never have developed any wrist/hand pain, though only 21 so maybe in 10-20yrs XD
It looks like some actual research went into this. Although it might take some getting used to, it looks like it would work quite well.
it's pretty much this: only smaller. I'm have been using this MS keyboard for about a year or longer. It takes sometime to get used to it, but I don't really feel any difference anymore. I can still go back and forth between this and normal keyboards - really don't feel much of a difference. Only one thing - it separates the keys in the middle encouraging you to use a proper hand to press each key for proper typing technique. I still like MS keyboard though... If it broke today, I would buy exact same keyboard again. They are relatively cheap on eBay.
Never wrapped my head around the Ergo layout. I mean I'm sure I easily could. I already bounce back forth between the Nordic Layout on my Laptop to my US Layout on my Desktop.
No, it's real, but on pic 4, desk is very high so the elbows are positioned like that and in the case of pic 5, the desk is very low. In reality, hands position is very similar in both cases if the desk is low enough (or the chair high enough).
I actually tried to use one of the Microsoft ones several times and just could not get adapted well enough to it without it causing me pain and discomfort. The one in the news post looks MUCH better and it does'nt have your arms so wide apart like the Microsoft one does 'tho the price is a bit much. If this ever drops below the $100 mark I'll get one in a heartbeat otherwise I'll stick with my CM Storm mechanical without numpad which is as close as I've been able to get to an ideal keyboard here of late.
I've used ergonomic, split-key keyboards for years and currently have the same one that a111 posted above at home. At work I use a Logitech one. Once you get used to them you will find them more comfortable and the correct hand placement will improve your typing speed as it prevents you from "cheating". I would never go back to a straight keyboard on any machine I use regularly. The one in the OP looks nice but not having a standard keypad is a deal breaker for me. I use it the keypad a lot. Some of the different key positions would take a bit of getting used to also.
might be nice once you get used to... but man, that sounds like itll take a while... :/ i tried that microsoft keyboard a while ago and while it felt comfortable it was frustrating to use... i guess kids in school should work on ergonomic keyboards like this so they get used to it right away... im affraid its too late for me ^^
