text: An ace in the NL is about to be shut down, a late round flier has outproduced an MVP, a multi-position option is finally hitting an a minor trade highlight today's piece. The Marlins' young ace is approaching the end of the line with his innings total this season. When will he be shut down? What about the Indians young star on the hill --- why are we talking about him this week? How is it possible that a reserve round addition in mixed leagues is outperforming a former league MVP? The Nationals added an outfielder to the mix. Should anyone care? Second sackers are in the news from Baltimore to Kansas City to Seattle. Also, when will the Phillies closer ever pick up another save? This and much more in today's all-encompassing, articulate and eminently enjoyable article.

Abbas accepts resignation of Palestinian PM
Rami Hamdallah was named on June 2
UPDATED 3:30 PM CDT Jun 23, 2013
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday accepted the resignation of the newly-appointed prime minister, who steps down three weeks after taking office.
The president appointed Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah as the head of an interim government, state-run WAFA news agency reported.
Abbas named Hamdallah, president of a West Bank university, as his new prime minister on June 2 and asked him to form a new Cabinet.
Hamdallah is a British-educated linguist and longtime academic. He became president of An-Najah National University in the West Bank city of Nablus in 1998.

Obama's Abortion Bombshell: Unrestricted Abortion Over Wishes of Individual States a Priority for Presidency
"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act," Obama said in his July speech to abortion advocates worried about the increase of pro-life legislation at the state level
The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is legislation Obama has co-sponsored along with 18 other senators that would annihilate every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion.
Besides making abortion on demand a "fundamental right" throughout the United States, FOCA would effectively nullify informed consent laws, waiting periods, health safety regulations for abortion clinics, etc.
Furthermore, medical professionals and institutions that refused abortions also would lose legal protections. FOCA would expose individuals, organizations, and governments - including federal, state, and local government agencies - to costly civil actions for purported violations of the act.

Obama Supports Sex-Education in Kindergarten, Romney Strikes Back
We don`t have any decent choices for the presidency in my humble opinion. But everything about this man goes against what the Bible teaches us about righteousness. Listen to what he thinks about the Bible;
GG: What do you believe?
OBAMA: I am a Christian. So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences. I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10. My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim. And I'd say, probably, intellectually I've drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
(Obama says he is a Christian, but one that is influenced by other religions. This is a recurrent theme. Obama either does not see or will not affirm that Christianity is superior to or contrary to other religions. The Christian confession is that "every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.")
So, I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there's an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.
(Obama denies the uniqueness of Christ and the Christian faith. He reduces Christianity to only one of "many paths." Christians confess that there is only one name under heaven whereby you must be saved, Jesus Christ.)
I wish I had more time to go into this now, but I don`t. Like I said, read all the threads here on obama. His sins aren`t from 28 years ago. I for one don`t want him for president under any circumstances. And I definitely don`t want him appointing the lifetime appointments of the 44 appellate courts and federal judges that are coming up. I won`t say what I think of Bush, but he has appointed 1/3 of the federal judges that are out there right now, and they are conservative. The next president will have the power to make lifetime appointments. That may not be important to some people, but as someone who wants our constitution upheld, it`s important to me who sits on the bench. It is a priority to me when it comes to who I will cast my vote for. But I will also fast and pray before it`s time to vote and pray for the Lord to guide me to do his will. Seek the truth.

South Ridge rallies past Nevis
The Panthers beat Nevis 24-18 win in a Class 9-Man state quarterfinal last Friday evening in a blustery Husky Stadium at St. Cloud State University. They play in the STate semifinals at 9 a.m. Friday in the Metrodome.By: Tyler Korby, Pine Journal
ST. CLOUD – Observing intently from his defensive back position during the final play, South Ridge's Bill Redding watched as Nevis' desperation pass sailed beyond the back of the end zone, ending the game.
"I looked up to my parents and just smiled," said Redding, who ran for a touchdown and caught another to help propel the Panthers to a 24-18 win in a Class 9-Man state quarterfinal last Friday evening in a blustery Husky Stadium at St. Cloud State University. "This was the game they attended. It meant a lot. I played my heart out for them."
Redding, a 6-foot, 155-pound junior running back, racked up 72 yards rushing on 21 attempts, totaling 114 yards receiving on seven catches from quarterback Kody Karppinen. Afterward, Redding noted it was his parents, Jeff and Sarah Montgomery, who propelled his efforts. Due to work conflicts, Redding said it was the first game they've seen this season.
"They keep me going," Redding said outside the locker rooms. "It felt good that they were there. I just wanted to keep running."
South Ridge (11-1) now runs into a 9 a.m. state semifinal Friday with Grand Meadow (11-1) at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.
Redding recorded the Culver-based school's only score of the first half last week, rushing in for a 6-yard touchdown. Trailing 12-8 at halftime and 18-8 early in the third quarter, South Ridge rallied when Redding snagged a 42-yard touchdown from Karppinen.
"Friday was Bill's night," said Panthers first-year Coach Tony DeLeon. "He does everything well. He punts, plays defense, receiver, running back, takes back kick returns. He's kind of a utility man."
DeLeon said Redding takes reps with fellow running backs Devon Lee and Tyler Hage. Karppinen, a junior, credited Redding afterward.
"I couldn't imagine not having my parents at games, but Bill has been playing big and stepping up for us," said Karppinen, who was 8-of-19 for 132 yards passing and the go-ahead rushing score last week. "He's been going all out. That was probably his best game right there."
Karppinen's 2-yard, third-quarter plunge – followed by his third conversion of the game – gave South Ridge the 24-18 lead for good. Fifth-ranked Nevis had opportunities to respond in the fourth, yet couldn't answer, including quarterback Collin Huckbody's pass as time expired.
"We had the ball in the end, and were confident in the play we had, it just didn't work out for us," Nevis Coach Shawn Klimek said. "But tap their heads, South Ridge played well tonight."
The Tigers were led by Huckbody's 256 yards passing, 129 yards running and two scores. Taylor Chase also caught a touchdown and had 135 receiving yards for Nevis in their lone loss this season.
The Panthers have now won 10 straight and head back to the Metrodome to play Friday morning.
"It's all about the kids. They're the ones making plays. Some would call it luck, but you have to be in the right spot to be lucky," DeLeon said. "They just keep fighting and playing. I don't know what we're saying or doing, but as long as we keeping doing it, we're confident in our chances."
"Watching tape it looked like we could stop [Nevis], and we did tonight," added senior linebacker Robby McQuade, who had three interceptions. "We went two years and won one game. We've all stuck together. Now we've won 11 and we're going to the Dome."
Just like Redding's parents.

It's not easy to go from retirement to full time working and studying hours. There's so much to learn, and no afternoon nap. It was said jokingly by someone here on campus, (campus is actually an area of family history classes spread between the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and the Family History Library), that the Mormons (a nickname for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) don't put their older folks in a rest home, they send them on missions, were they work themselves to death. We have been so busy, but have learned so much about the new systems and programs available for searching our ancestors. I've found dates and places and family stories I'd never heard before. I found some connections to the colonial McKean settlers, and Danish Nessen immigrants. It was as I always suspected, we are the "poor cousins". It doesn't matter exactly where we fit. We have a linage of great and interesting people. I didn't find them in "one sitting". I actually had to start by finding some grandparent's and great grand parents names and birth dates in order to start my searches. I hunted through Ancestry, Family Search, Google and the new Wiki (which is the Family Search site for information about different places and how the people lived in those areas in different time periods as well as people-search. (The Wiki department is also searching for folks to become contributors to the information on this site. I hope to do that some as well.).
I have also searched the books available at the library and found the old parish-church records of our ancestors settling the New Jersey area. They came from Scotland. Through some dedicated book searching, I found one man's journal of his and his father's memories of life in the area of Allentown, Monmouth, New Jersey. In the mid 1800's, the little village town was marked with the Scottish coat-of -arms banners, hanging on the houses and stores. The Scottish people kept their traditions of music and celebrations strong within their families and the town limits for over a hundred of years after they settled there. Even though in the 1770's, after the Revolutionary War, it would have been illegal to show loyalty for their home countries in the United Kingdom of England. A new country needed American patriots.
Immigrants settled in groups of people who spoke the same language. The old church records I read also spoke of "an invasion of Mormons that came to the area, disturbing the peace and minds of the people," taking some away it reported. My family seemed to have left the area not long after, came the Handcart Stories.
I searched another web-site that tells of the passenger voyages and some of the ship's logs about the conditions. Some early immigrants traveled with cattle or in conditions less comfortable than that of the animals. On one voyage from Ireland to Liverpool, the ship line had over-sold so many tickets, that when the weather turned bad and people crowded inside, 79 of the passengers suffocated to death. The information there is like finding a window to the past.
We have now been on our church mission at the Salt Lake Family History Library for two months. This will be my last entry, er….a… news column article. During the training I've had plenty of time to search for my own ancestors, but soon I will be working on the floor stations helping others get started on their searches. I regret not being able to tell you of my experience as an eagle when I finally learn this stuff well enough to fly and soar with it! Instead, I'm still struggling to learn it all, but anxious to help others get started. It's quite an experience!
My last article, I will give MY BEST WORDS OF ADVICE:
I've thought a lot about what profound words I might say as my last "Slice of Life"
Save the best for last! Last the best of all the game!
I'm much too tired to be very profound! (Is that where the word "profanity" came from?) I do, however, have advice I believe is very good:
There are things in life that are hard, but worth it! I'm going to list a few of the ones my tired brain thought were profound!
In my humble opinion, these are WORTH IT!
Skipping frequent cheap chocolate for a once-in-a-while piece of delightfully wonderful piece of rich expensive chocolate. So worth it! Even if you have to walk around the block three times to wear it off.
Reading the instructions before beginning the project. Don't you wish you'd thought of that before Christmas?
Hanging in there to be a good parent! I can't explain it! Just believe me! You'll be glad you did!
Forgive someone who has hurt you! It doesn't make all the pain go away, but it does take the horrible weight off your shoulders.
Getting an education! Somehow it broadens your mind and gives you more dimension as a person, and you can charge more for your services later.
Cleanliness is worth it! Brush it, floss it and wash it! And when in doubt…Wash it out! (Flossing is worth it, even if you have to wash off the bathroom mirror every time.)
Trying something out of your comfort zone. Most everything is out of my "comfy zone". Really glad I've tried doing something that wasn't easy.
Try very hard to enjoy life a moment at a time! Happiness is all about enjoying the moment. If you're always waiting for things to get better, you can be unhappy a lot.
Most times you don't know if you've sliced off something healthy that is full of protein and builds muscle, or if you've sliced off a hunk of gristle and will be choking and chewing for a long time. You just take it as it comes, and make the best meal of what you've got on your plate.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) As the scary season approaches, you might find yourself looking for ways to enjoy a bit of bone-chilling fun. If you're able to plan a getaway, might we suggest visiting some of the country's spookiest towns and cities? From Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., the setting of Washington Irving's famous tale of the Headless Horseman, to Gettysburg, Penn., where the deadliest Civil War battle took place, these supposedly haunted locales play up their creepy reputations with thrilling ghost tours and other eerie activities. Here's what you need to know about six destinations that are sure to send shivers down your spine without hurting your wallet.
Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.
Immortalized in Washington Irving's classic tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," this historic village located on the eastern shore of the Hudson River in Westchester County, N.Y., offers loads of ghoulish amusement during the fall season.
Learn about the area's creepy and legendary past on the Ghosts of Tarryhollow , a two-hour walking tour led by guides from the local historical society that will take you through the villages of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. The tour starts at Patriots Park at the very spot where British spy John André was captured during the American Revolution, and legend has it that Andre's ghost still haunts the vicinity (reservations required; $19.99 per person). Visitors can also take a guided tour of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery , the resting place of Washington Irving, Andrew Carnegie, Elizabeth Arden and William Rockefeller ($9.99 for a one-hour daytime tour; $19.99 for a two-hour daytime tour; $24.99 for an evening guided tour).
Or if you come to Sleepy Hollow on October 25 or 26, you can hop onboard a haunted hayride that follows Ichabod Crane's flight from the Headless Horseman ($20 each in advance; $30 on the night of the event for adults; $15 on the night of the event for Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown students under 18).
Although Sleepy Hollow is just 25 miles north of Manhattan, you might feel inclined to turn your visit into an overnight stay. The Courtyard Tarrytown Greenburgh Hotel in Tarrytown, N.Y., offers rooms from $139 per night. For something a bit more romantic, stay at the Alexander Hamilton House , a bed-and-breakfast located on a cliff overlooking the Hudson River located 10 miles north of Sleepy Hollow in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. (rooms start at $130 per night).
New Orleans
When not enjoying jazz, Cajun cuisine and late-night partying, visitors of the Big Easy can learn about the local spirits that have helped the city earn a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the America. If you're a history buff with a tolerance for gruesome stories, sign up for a guided walking tour offered by Haunted History Tours , which takes you to several different sites in the French Quarter connected with actual documented hauntings. One of the spookiest spots is the LaLaurie Mansion, where many have reported seeing the ghost of a little girl jumping from the balcony ($25 for adults; $18 for seniors, students and military members; $14 for children under 12).

I need an advise on starting my work on my ideas. I am doing job for 5 years and a senior Java engineer. I have great some thing inside, to bring my ideas in execution and to see myself as a founder of them. My regular job is paying me good. What I am thinking is to start working (solo) on my ideas with my job. How can these two things go parallel? My regular job will help me to fund my startup. Just like, getting design services and hosting etc. So when I will see I can earn money from my apps. I will leave my job and to start full time on my own stuff.
What you guys advise me on it.

Joe Manganiello's Evolution: 10 Totally Wrong Ways To Rationalize Buying It
True story: I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday to get a sneak peek at Joe Manganiello's new book, Evolution, and when I finally got over my embarrassment enough to sheepishly ask the clerk where it was, he said it was already sold out. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it was NOT solely in the hands of men who are looking for, as the whole title puts it, The Cutting Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You've Always Wanted. C'mon, ladies/gay men, fess up. You are wasting the True Blood star's hard-earned wisdom by buying up these books just to stuff under your mattresses, aren't you?

CORPUS CHRISTI -- Corpus Christi police are talking to a person of interest in connection to a hit and run accident this past weekend that left a teen critically injured.
After working two shifts at Cici's Pizza on Ayers, 17-year old Christian Carrillo was walking home early Sunday morning when a driver hit him and took off.
Now, instead of playing pranks and teasing him mom, something Christian's known for, he's a prisoner to the tubes and equipment helping to keep him alive.
His mother, Misty Taylor, said, "It feels like I was dreaming. It feels like I was in a dream state and I'm ready to wake up cause how can my life...his life...is never going to be the same."
Police say they talked to a person of interest in this case and expect to make an arrest soon which brings the family a little relief.
Misty said, "I don't want another person to get hit and left to die on the side of the road. It's pretty cowardly."
But Misty says justice will be served and she tries to stay focused on her son and his recovery.
She says thanks to prayers from the community, Christian is improving.
For example, he took a couple of breaths on his own and moved his feet today.
Misty said, "Strangers have come up and wanted to just pray and meet my son."

A new treatment could be developed for pulmonary hypertension that would forgo the need for a transplant.
This is according to doctors conducting research on the condition at Georgia Health Sciences University.
Their research found the disease can be prevented by blocking a protein that initiates a series of biochemical reactions which result in increased collagen production in the blood vessels of the lungs.
Dr Yunchao Su, a pharmacologist at Georgia Health Sciences University, said the results of tests which blocked the protein indicated the pulmonary process was normal.
He now hopes his research can be used to develop a treatment that will add an alternative to heart and lung transplants – the only known cure for the condition.
Current treatments focus on reducing the symptoms and improving a patient's quality of life, states the Pulmonary Hypertension Association.
Remedies include conventional therapies such as oxygen and warfarin as well as targeted therapies like prostaglandins and calcium channel blockers.

Many Americans struggle with obesity today, and weight-related health problems are becoming increasingly common. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, and so are a third of our children and teens.
For most people, dealing with their weight issues involves occasional dieting and irregular exercise, which at best provide only temporary results.
Experts at Memorial Hermann have developed a series of medically sound, surgical and non-surgical weight loss programs to help people address their chronic obesity and related health issues without resorting to surgery.
They've been designed to accommodate a wide range of patients - from severely overweight individuals to those fighting to lose a few final stubborn pounds.

To me, this is way worse than President Obama's misstatement about the economy this morning:
Romney said of Obama, "he wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."
This is the kind of statement that makes Romney's new teabagger fans really happy, but it should scare the shit out of average Americans. Is Romney calling for a nationwide hiring freeze? Is he calling for cutbacks? How many police and firefighters does he think is the right amount? Do we really need fewer teachers? The press should be slamming Romney on this, but he'll get a pass because it's more difficult for the media to explain than a one-sentence misstep in a press conference that you can play on a loop.
"Cut back on government and help the American People."

SOURCE Early Autism Project, Inc.
SUMTER, S.C., Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Early Autism Project, Inc., (EAP) a leading provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children and young adults who have autism spectrum and related disorders, promoted Ann Eldridge to executive vice president and chief operating officer, and Susan Butler to senior vice president of business development.
Eldridge, who previously served as executive director of clinical services, and Butler, who was executive director of administrative services, founded EAP in 1995, after Butler struggled to find an effective and convenient treatment program for her son, Collin, who was diagnosed with autism that year. Eldridge, who was then a special education instructor at Collin's school, was encouraged to create a custom ABA treatment program after Collin showed dramatic improvements as a result of receiving ABA therapy.
By 2007, EAP was serving large public school systems and private-pay patients. In 2009, Butler and Eldridge helped facilitate the passage of "Ryan's Law" requiring commercial insurers to provide autism treatment coverage in South Carolina. EAP now has 450 therapists providing services to more than 800 children each year. The company operates clinics in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Sumter, S.C., and will open a clinic in Tampa, Fla., this year.
Ernst & Young honored Eldridge and Butler with the 2013 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Southeast Region in the services category in recognition of their vision, leadership and achievement.
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 88 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder.
In December 2012, EAP partnered with Educational Services of America, the nation's leading provider of K-12 special and alternative education schools and programs for students who are at risk for dropping out and for students with special needs.
About EAP
EAP provides ABA therapy, which is widely recognized as an effective, evidence-based treatment for autism and is covered by many private and government insurance providers, including TRICARE, for children between the ages of 20 months and 21 years who have autism spectrum and related disorders. EAP provides comprehensive services to children and their families in their homes, in EAP clinics, in schools and at or near military bases throughout the country.

Imagine a press conference with John Kerry and Joe Biden.
Let the bone-headed blundering begin.
Kerry and Biden = Dumb and DumbestThey should put a saddle on Kerry and Biden can ride him while shooting his double barreled shotgun in the air and his mouth off in every direction.
Candygram for Jenjis! Candygram for Jenjis!Is there a Jenjis Cawn in the house?
damn kommie loving fool
#5 ... I think Jenjis was born in Kyrzakhstan.
No comment from Borat...
John and Joe.....what`s up with names that start with the letter "J".......
A fake sec. of state references a make believe country. Of course, the state department deleted the blunder from the official transcript because according to the ministry of truth, kerry didn´t stumble. It´s all about transparency, right?
He needs to borrow Hillary´s reset button and start again . . . .
Well, he lives in a different world, in his head!
Y´all hush up talkin´ bad about John Effin´ who, btw, served in Vietnam.
Give John a break, he got the name off of the Stimulus list of shovel-ready jobs. Sheriff Joe Biden had approve a project to send out houses produced in a fictional zip code to that locale.
That sounds like a fictional ´Doonsbury´ country! The one where the fictional super-hero saves the day.
at least he didn´t take credit for inventing the internet.also, i have no proof he knows what a "second shakra" is.so, in my book, he´s ahead of AlGore.at least that´s something.
Kyrzakhstan borders on Elbownia, and both are, of course, moozlum enclaves. Therefore, they will both be receiving billions in US foreign aid for advancement of their fine culture in the arts, which naturally has been the basis and origin of ours presented by PBS.

He served in Veetnom, right?
Consider: a wrong answer that would get you dumped from "Jeopardy" won´t disqualify you as SecState.
Give him a break, guys. Maybe he was thinking of Mr. Myxlplyxstan, the country (or is it planet? He must´ve forgotten after reading that comic book aboard his VIP plane) where Superman´s nemesis comes from.
Dear #18: Difference between Secretariat and JF´nK is that Secretariat made lots of $$$ on his own before he was put out to stud.
Secretariat was loads handsomer and had a much better disposition.

TUESDAY, February 15, 1881--10 a.m.The joint resolution [H. R. 1] requesting Indiana Congressmen to use their influence for securing the passage of a law for the reconstruction by the Federal Government of the Wabash and Erie Canal being read the third time--
Mr. CHAPMAN thought the resolution out not to pass. He did not think the General Assembly should commit itself to any such scheme of public improvement.
Mr. MENZIES remembered two years ago a number of such resolutions were passed by the General Assembly, and knew not of any good results therefrom. If any of this kind of bread has been returned, after being cast upon the waters, he had seen none of it. He opposed forwarding such resolutions to Congressmen as long as they do not receive the slightest consideration.
On motion by Mr. COMSTOCK, the resolution was laid on the table.
The joint resolution [H. R. 2] requesting Congressmen to favor a law grantning pensions to surviving soldiers and seamen of the Mexican War, was read the third time and passed by yeas, 34; nays, 0.
The bill [H. R. 23] to enable foreign Manufacturing and Mining Companies to purchase, hold, etc., real estate in this State, was read the second time and passed to the third reading.
Mr. Hefron's bill [S. 83] to make notes payable to bearer governed by the same law as ordinary promissory notes, was read a second time with a majority report, recommending indefinite postponement, and a minority report favoring passage.
Mr. HEFRON moved to substitute the minority for the majority report. This is a short bill and a matter of some importance. He did not wish to take up time now in discussing its merits, but desired the minority report be substituted, so that when the bill comes up on the third reading, if its friends are not able to show it is a proper measure, then let it die an honest and natural death.
Mr. CHAPMAN thought the request ought not to be granted. The provisions of this bill can be known at a glance. It simply proposes to wipe out what is known as commercial paper. It proposes to revolutionize the business of the country and is in on respect a revoluntionary measure. By reason of the brevity of the bill and plainness of the proposition, as has been said, it can be easily understood and it ought not to be passed to the third reading unless the Senate thinks it ought to be finally passed.
Mr. HEFRON stated as another reason why he thought the bill should not now be considered, a great number of Senators are absent to-day--some fourteen on Committees, by leave, and he would prefer a fuller Senate; but as there seems to be a disposition to antagonize this measure, he was ready to present his side of the case now. He thought upon a careful reading of the bill, Senators will find its purpose and extent relate only to notes payable in banks in this State--to only one class of paper, and a class that has been the instrument by which swindlers have been cheating honest men for years. He read a resolution adopted by the Republican State Convention in 1880--the fifth plank--for the purpose of showing the importance of this question, and to show that it attracted so much public attention that legislation was demanded thereon by a great party in this State, whic pledged itself to favor legislation of this kind. The opportunity is now afforded its representatives here to carry out that pledge. There is a natural objection to striking at any law of long standing in commercial circles, but the only class of people the bill strikes at is that class of persons who go among the farming communities selling lightning rods or patents of some kind. It cannont affect the banking interests of Indiana, because no reputable bank deals in that class of paper.
Mr. BROWN said this bill substantially proposes to repeal the sixth section of the act of March 11, 1861, concerning promissory notes , bills of exchange, etc. The bill is open to objection, and he favored the report of the majority of the the Judiciary Committee. The Legislature is not called upon to legislate with a view that the great mass of people are ignorant. The time has passed when these brag barkers and churn knockers can go around the State and swindle the farming community. The law upon this subject is settled; if a man exercises ordinary diligence page: 183[View Page 183] oand is swindled, it is held he is not legally liable for the payment of paper so obtained from him. Then there is a statute that takes care of this class of swindlers. The law as it stands to-day is sufficient to guard the people against these practices.
The minority report was concurred in--yeas, 24; nays, 12; and the bill ordered engrossed.
Mr. Viehe's bill [S. 180] to amend the Sunday law by legalizing notes executed on that day after passing into innocent hands.
Mr. Henry's [S. 103] to protect the property of Public Libraries.
Mr. Grubbs' [S. 82] in relation to change of investment of property of wards.
Mr. Lockridge's [S. 183] to provide for issuing sums to Colleges and Universities.
Mr. Bundy's [S. 97] to provide for appropriation of real estate for common school purposes.
Mr. Hostetter's [S. 84] for but one voting Precinet in towns of 3,000.
Mr. Chapman's [S. 174] limiting the time for redemption by prior incumbrance from foreclosure of mortgage sales.
Mr. Hostetter's [S. 200] to legalize acts of Notaries Public, were severally passed to the third reading; and---
Mr. Rahm's bill [S. 170] to authorize partial release of mortgages by Auditors; Mr. Poindexter's [S. 105] concerning County Libraries were indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Kramer's bill [S. 126] to amend Sections 103 and 104 of the common school law, was laid on the table.
Mr. Wilson's bill [S. 131] to allow cities to guarantee payment of bonds issued by any Bridge or Road Company for construction, was read the third time.
Mr. MENZIES moved to amend the bill so that any railroad can obtain the right to cross any bridge constructed under the provisions of this act.
The amendment was agreed to, and the bill ordered engrossed.
On motion by Mr. VAN VORHIS, the House concurrent resolution for the appointment of a Joint Committee to report on the question of sewerage for the Female Reformatory, and selling the grounds with a view to rebuilding at some distance from Indianapolis, was taken up and adopted.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR subsequently made this Committee, on the part of the Senate, to consist of Messrs. Chapman, Veihe and Lockridge.
Mr. Comstock's bill [S. 62] to remove disabilities of coverture (see pages 58, 65, and 66 of these reports) was read the second time, the question being on a pending amendment (see p. 124.)
Mr HENRY thought Section 2 should stand as in the bill.
Mr. MENZIES considered this bill more far-reaching than any one before the Senate this session, and it is beind considered with a beggarly show of empty benches. He moved to make it the special order for Tuesday, at 2 p. m., to be considered with Mr. Bell's bill [S. 134] concerning married women.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Graham's bill [S. 258] to provide for the care of orphan and abandoned children (see page 135 of these reports) was read the second time, with a Committee recommendation that it lie on the table.
Mr. CHAPMAN would be glad to hear any objection to any proposition in this bill, 258. Its only purpose is to declare what shall be considered legally as abandoned children, and he could see no reason why it should not become a law. He urged reasons and cited illustrations.
Mr. SPANN also favored the bill, and gave credit to the author for taking a step in the right direction.
Then came a recess till 2 o'clock.
Mr. VAN VORHIS and Mr. COMSTOCK opposed the passage of the bill and favored concurrence in the report of the Committee.
Mr. CHAPMAN could see no objection to the bill that goes to its merits.
Mr. SPANN understood both gentlemen speaking against this bill are members of the Committee submitting the unfavorable report, and are conscious that the general features of the bill are correct on principles of justice and right.
Mr. COMSTOCK said when an attorney fails in a suit he has two remedies--he can go down to the tavern and curse the Court or take an appeal. This bill is bad in its provisions, though the framer of the bill no doubt had a good object in view. Reduced to a simple proposition, the only question contained in the third section of this bill is whether there shall be an absolute divorcement between the parent and child because of abandonment for one year. That is what he objected to. In many instances it would be an absolute outrage to carry out the provisions of this bill, which contains elements of outrage not embraced in any bill yet presented to this body.
Mr. BROWN believed this bill ought not to pass. He opposed any species of legislation that looks after the natural and domestic rights of people. He thought it dangerous by legislation to prohibit either parent from association with their offspring.
Mr. GRAHAM believed the Members of the House had not given the bill proper consideration. It provides for the care of children abandoned, which implies actual suffering for want of care. The bill does not go as far as the law on the subject of divorce does in reference to the custody of children under wich the Court can actually forbid visits from the parent to the child.
Mr. VAN VORHIS thought it unnecessary to discuss the question as to whether these children should be provided for; but the question is simply will the bill accomplish the purpose for which it is intended?
Mr. CHAPMAN insisted there would be no difficulty in eliminating any injudicious provisions in the bill. He moved to amend the report of the Committee by subsistuting a recommendation that the bill do pass.
The motion was rejected--yeas, 12; nays, 25--and then the report of the Committee was concurred in.
The LIEUTENENT GOVERNOR announced the special order, being Mr. Chapman's bill [S. 4] for the government of the State Prisons.
On motion by Mr. COFFEY--yeas, 19; nays, 17--the enacting clause was stricken out.
Mr. MENZIES moved to reconsider the vote just taken and to lay this motion on the table.
The latter motion was agreed to by yeas, 20; nays, 18.
Mr. Spann's concurrent resolution for a memorial in the new Capitol building to the memory of the services of the soldiers of the State, in the late war, coming up with a Committee report, substituting new matter therefor--
Mr. SPANN offered the following as a substitute for the resolution reported by the Committee:
Resolved, By the Senate, the House concurring therein, that justice to the memory of those who gave their services and lives, and a fair and
page: 184[View Page 184]just recognition of the services of the soldiers of this State demands that in some way a memento be placed in said building. Therefore the State House Commissioners are hereby instructed to remove the present corner-stone of the new State House, and after depositing therein some suitable record or memorial, to commemmorate the part taken by the State of Indiana in the late War and the Mexican War, and a suitable record of the various regiments which went from this State in aid and defense of their country in said wars, then to re-lay the same with such appropriate ceremonies as would be fitting to the memory of these brave men.
On Motion by Mr. GRUBBS, the further consideration of this subject was postponed and made a special order for Wednesday week at 2 o'clock p. m.
Mr. Foster's bill [S. 139] to allow Supervisors $1.00 a day, was read the second time and ordered engrossed.
Mr. Wilson's bill [S. 185] unless Prosecuting or District Attorneys be informed, no proceedings before Justices shall be valid, was read the second time with a Committee report recommending that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. WILSON did not draft the bill, but introduced it at the instance of some attorneys in his District, its object being to require notice to be given the District or Prosecuting Attorney that such a suit has been instituted. He was not prepared to say he favored its entire provision, but would prefer to see it lie on the table, and moved to so amend the Committee report.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Van Vorhis' bill [S. 18] supplemental to the general city incorporation law, being read the second time---
Mr. VAN VORHIS explained this bill so arranges that as soon as the number of votes in any Ward becomes 800, the Ward must be divided, the terms of Councilmen are extended two years, the election to be held in the off year between the general elections. It applies to no other city in the State except Indianapolis, by reason of the limit fixed as regards population.
The bill was ordered engrossed.
Mr. Yancy's bill [S. 74] to regulate the practice of medicine--the Governor to appoint a Board of Examiners from each School of Medicine in nine Districts--was read the second time.
Mr. YANCY moved the consideration of this bill be made the special order for Monday at 2 o'clock.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Coffey's bill [S. 206] to amend Section 22 of the divorce law (see page 106 of these reports) was read the second time.
Mr. COFFEY did not know whether it is worth while to attack the deliberations of the Judiciary Committee, nor did he feel disposed so to do. One objection urged against the bill in Committee was it gave the Court discretionary power to devote proceeds of the judgment from the natural channel under the law of descent. If that objection be tenable, the bill might have been so amended that the Court could have no discretion in this matter. Injuries have resulted from the operation of the law as it now stands. The object of alimony is to give the divorced wife a means of support. He feared the Committee had not given the bill the attention its importance demands. He moved it e referred to the Committee on Organization of Courts.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Compton's bill [S. 5] to amend Section 17 and 18 of the mining act--concerning the inspection of mines--was read the second time and ordered engrossed.
And then the Senate adjourned.
TUESDAY, February 15, 1881.--9 a. m.The bill [H. R. 206] to provide for the election and qualification of officers, and employees of Benevolent Asylums; the bill [H. R. 37] to establish a Female Hospital, were severally laid on the table.
The bill [H. R. 96] to establish a State Public School for Dependent Children was returned with a Committee recommendation that is lie on the table.
Mr. LINDLAY said this was a subject of vital importance. It is a bill providing for taking in charge the children of the State who are without a home, who are now in the County Poor Houses, and growing up with vicious surroundings. He said the bill was not instigated by him, but was drafted by a man who was well versed in this department. He thought it the most intelligent move the House could make, and in the long run, the most economical, as these children had to be cared for anyway, and might just as well with a little more expense, be under a course of instructin that would make worthy men and women out of them.

On motion by Mr. CAUTHORNE, the House took a recess of ten minutes, in order to greet Hon. Schuyler Colfax, ex-Vice President of the United States.
MR. SPEAKER AND REPRESENTATIVES--I thank the gentleman from Knox, and the Members this House, for this complementary act, which, however, takes me completely by surprise. Passing through this city, and visiting friends here on my road to the South, I cam to this building this morning as a private citizen to see the Legislature of my State in session, and was remarking only a few minutes ago, to Senatorial friends in the other Chamber, that my first participation in public affairs was reporting Legislative proceedings, over a third of a century ago, for the Indianapolis Journal. And while I do not feel justified in arresting your proceedings for more than a few moments, I can not refuse to address you, as desired, but very briefly.
I learned in that early period of my life to appreciate and sympathize with the labors of Legislators, intrusted with the maintenance of the best interests of the State and its citizens, in all the multiform processes of legislation; and to look with honor as well as pride on the leading public men of that long-past era, of both parties page: 186[View Page 186] who did so much to develop the resources, as well as to aid the true glory of our then young State of Indiana. Differing as they did, and as we of this generation do, in political associations and principles, honestly and naturally from out variant methods of thought, constitutional interpretation, education, etc., they did much, all of them, to honor the State, and by their talents and statesmanship ability, to advance it toward the proud position it now occupies among its sister States of the Nation. How those great men the leaders of parties of a third of a century ago, whom I knew so well as a Legislative report, rise before by mental vision as I speak to you now. On the one side, Governors Noble, Wallace and Bigger, with the two Smiths, one so distinguished in the Senate and the other in the Cabinet, and Sammuel W. Parker; nor can I forget Joseph G. Marshall and George G. Dunn, of the Whig party. And on the Democratic side Governor Whitcomb, with his marked ability, Governor Wright, Senator Hannegan, and the two Brights, one honored with a seat in the Senate and the other conspicuous in State affairs, with many others, whom, in this desultory speeech, I do no not at this moment recall.
All of them left the impress of their ability and energy upon the records of our State; and though then divided, as we all are, politically, the development of Indiana's resources, the advancement of Indiana's fame, was always with them after all, their uppermost and foremost thought. Let us as Indinaians seek thus above all partisan differences, to honor State, and act for the best interests of our citizens and of coming generations. And wishing you good speed in your arduous labors, I close by thanking you again for this compliment, which I appreciate so highly, and shall always remember with so much pleasure.

The Oberoi Mumbai Reopens: First Look at the Renovation
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
The Oberoi Mumbai will officially re-open on Saturday, April 24th, after an extensive remodel following the terrorist attacks of November 26th, 2008. The hotel was one of two luxury properties targeted by gunmen -- the other was the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower -- and hotel guests were among the 163 lives lost in the siege.
The new hotel seeks to banish dark memories with extensive use of white Thassos marble, technology updates in guest rooms, and, naturally, security enhancements throughout the hotel. (See photos below.) The return of these 287 guest rooms (rates start at $700 a night) will be welcome -- The New York Times reports that tourism to India is on the rebound -- in the first quarter of 2010, the number of visitors increased 13 percent compared with the 2009.
I stayed at the Taj Palace and Tower in Mumbai just a few months before the attack, in the heritage wing which has not yet re-opened. It was definitely a strange feeling to watch the very room I stayed in ablaze on CNN, and I've often wondered what it would be like to stay in that room again, now that the exact sequence of horrible events is known. (In case you missed it, the Virginia Quarterly Review ran a masterful series piecing the story together.)
I'm not superstitious about these things -- my theory is that bad things and good things can happen everywhere and that the structure itself is innocent -- but I wonder how future guests will react.
What do you think?

His compassion for othetrs and his passion for social justice is inspiring and advanced beyond his years. He is truly destined to be a recognized leader and force within the LGBT movement."
Kevin feels that he has a calling to empower and educate the LGBT youth community. In regard to his volunteer work at Rainbow Alley, he says, "When I got involved with Rainbow Alley at The Center as a youth volunteer, I knew that I was going to be learning more about myself and my community as well. It is truly a blessing for me to be a part of a movement that is so vast and requires heart and dedication."
Congratulations, Kevin!
