The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at two o'clock p. m.
The House resumed the consideration of Mr. Stephenson's bill, [H. R. 78] to regulate the fees of county officers--Clerks, Treasurers, Auditors and Sheriffs; and Mr. Coffroth's amendment thereto.
Mr. STEPHENSON resumed the floor. Mr. President: Our county officers get too much money. Their emoluments range from one thousand two hundred dollars to twenty-five thousand dollars per annum. And what is the tendency of this? Manifestly it induces corruption in procuring the office. If the office is worth ten thousand dollars per annum, they can afford to expend one half of it in manipulating your conventions and debauching your ballot boxes. And mark you this proposition, gentlemen Representatives, nine-tenths, of the political corruptions at elections come from our local aspirants for office. A Governor cannot corrupt a State, a Congressman his whole district. The territory is too large. But our "ambitious county officer can manipulate the political affairs of his county with his present high salary. This is a proposition that every one must admit, and the facts bear me out.
But draw a comparison of salaries. The Sheriff of Marion county gets as much money as the President of the United States, and five-sixths of the counties in your State pay their county officers more than the State pays her Governor! You take a man with the major part of his life spent in preparation, and put him on the bench at a salary of one thousand five hundred dollars and set a little political trickster at his feet who has consumed the preceeding fall in "electioneering" (to use a mild term) for his clerkship, and give him from five to fifteen thousand dollars per year. This stifles me with disgust. I will not pursue it further. Public men of Indiana, the lesson this teaches is written on the wall of futurity, and if you wish to read it strike this noisome system to death, and the people will carry you up to it. I have particularly noticed the Clerk in this argument, but I take him as an example, not as an exception. They all work under the same system and are inspired by the same impulses.
Now what are the merits of the bill before us? It abolishes the present system of collecting fees, and gives every officer a specific salary, to be paid out of the Treasury of the county. In courts it taxes litigants a docket fee of eight dollars, and five dollars a day in trying the same, and if they have a jury they pay for it, and pay their witnesses as now provided by law. These are the only items charged. They are simple and explicit, and cannot be abused. If the clerk neglects to collect and pay them into the treasury, he is subject to a fine and removal from office. This money, gentlemen, will pay the expenses of Sheriffs Clerks, and the community will be at no expense. But suppose it was, have we not shown that it is right that it should bear a portion of the burden? The Auditor and Treasurer are now paid out of the people's money, and to give them a salary would only reduce the burden of taxation, which, i some medium counties of this State, would reach eight or ten thousand dollars per annum.
Let figures speak:
Per annum | |
The Auditor of Hamilton county (a medium county) gets............ | $10,000 00 |
The Treasurer.................................................... | 7,000 00 |
The Clerk........................................................ | 7,000 00 |
The Sheriff...................................................... | 5,000 00 |
Total............................................................ | $29,000 00 |
This bill gives the Auditor of the same county .................. | $1,500 00 |
Treasurer........................................................ | 1,500 00 |
Clerk and Sheriff, $1,500 each................................... | 3,000 00 |
Total............................................................ | $6,000 00 |
Deputy hire...................................................... | 4,000 00 |
Making........................................................... | $10,000 00 |
A saving to said county per annum of............................. | $19,000 00 |
This bill taxes a docket fee of eight dollars for every case, and five dollars per day. If a consumes over one day in trying it, five dollars per day.
Suppose there are five terms of Court in each county per year and 200 cases each term, the docket fees would be................................ | $8,000 00 |
Two hundred out of the eight would average one day each in trying the same at five dollars pee day............................................... | 1,000 00 |
Total............................................................ | $9,000 00 |
Expenses of Clerk, Sheriff and deputy hire as per above.......... | 5,000 00 |
$4,000 00 |
Hamilton county pays her Autitor and Treasurer as per above table per annum | $17,000 00 |
Under this bill they and Deputies would receive ................. | 5,000 00 |
A saving of...................................................... | $11,000 00 |
And all this money, Gentlemen, in either case, is paid directly out of the county treasury. Suppose the Clerk did not collect all the fees taxed; yet if he only collected one third of them, that would be sufficient to pay him and the Sheriff, and Hamilton county would realize a net gain of over eleven thousand dollars per annum.
These, gentlemen, are the pecuniary aud economical aspects of this issue we are contending for. Its justice you are compelled to admit. Then why hesitate in this matter?
The three systems of compensating officers are before you gentlemen. The two that come in here as substitutes for the original bill, continue the present odious system that I have tried to expose. The proposed bill divides the burden equally between litigant and community--strikes down the present high rate of paying officers, and takes from them the incentive to use corrupt and improper means to procure their election to office. It strikes at the root of the corrupting influences that are decaying the foundations of our institutions, and rendering the dome of American freedom, that has shown so brightly to the benighted, unsafe.
Down with corruption! must be the watchword of this people, or down with the people will be the cry of the corruptionists.
Through you, gentlemen, to the people of my noble State, I send this, my protest against the present system, and this, my appeal for help.
I thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this indulgence.
Mr. COFFROTH, to give time to mature the judgment of the House, moved that the bill and amendments be referred to the Committee of the Whole, and made the special order for Tuesday at two o'clock.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. ZOLLARS asked for the reeding of a confidencial circular letter which he sent to the clerk's desk.
It was read as follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Feb. 6, 1869.
DEAR SIR--A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives, which has been reported back, the entire committee favoring its passage. The bill largely cuts down the fees of all county officers.
Mr. Buskirk, a member from Monroe county, is preparing a bill much more sweeping in its provisions, and will probably be submitted for action on Monday or Tuesday next, which will, in all probability, be substituted for the first bill introduced, unless immediate action is taken to prevent it.
The first bill reduces the fees so as to render them almost worthless. Mr. Buskirk's will make them entirely so. We are here to do what we can to defeat these bills, and, if we receive proper aid from other county officers, think we can accomplish our object. If the county officers will submit to an assessment to accomplish this object, we will remain here; otherwise we will return home, as we are unable to fight the battle single-handed and alone. One or the other of these bills may become the law of the State but we have assurance that both may be defeated, if a sufficient fund can be raised to organize at once an effective opposition.
Will your county officers respond to a liberal assessment made by us? The funds so received will be placed in bank, and returned unless the bill is defeated.
Please consider this as confidential. Confer with your county officers, including those recently elected, and respond at once, as but litlle time remains for work.
Address us here, lock 134, or call at our rooms, No. 4 up stairs, over the Bee Hive store.
J. M. DICKSON, Auditor of Madison County. GILBERT TRUSLER, Clerk of Fayette county
And thereupon--
Mr. ZOLLARS submitted the following preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, There are letters which have come in to the possession of members of this House, and which purport to have been written by one James M. Dickson, Auditor of Madison county, Indiana, and one Gilbert Trusler, Clerk of the court of Fayette county, of the same State, and which letters were written and sent to the various county officers of Indiana, and contain among other things, that certain bills are pending be the House of Representatives which will, if passed, very much reduce the salaries of county officers, and stating that they, said Dickson and Trusler, have assurance that, if a sufficient fund can be raised, said bills can be defeated; and,
WHEREAS, If any assurances have been given, they must have been given by members of this House; and,
WHEREAS, Any such assurances, given by any member of this House, would be in violation of his oath and a corrupt and indecent proposition to betry his high and sacred trust as a member and Representative of the people; and,
WHEREAS, If no such assurances have been given by members of this House, it is due to us, and the State whose Representatives we are, that said corrupt insinuations be refuted; therefore,
RESOLVED, That a committee of five be appointed whose duty it shall be to fully investigate the whole subject, and report the result of their investigations to this House, and in order that they make their investigations effectually, they shall have power to send for persons and papers as may seem best to them.
AND WHEREAS, Said letters contain, among other things, proposals by said James M. Dickson, Auditor of Madison county, and Gilbert Trusler, Clerk of Fayette county, to the various county officers of this State that if each of them will submit to an assessment, in order to raise a fund, that they, Dickson and Trusler, will take said fund and with it defeat said salary bills; and,
WHEREAS, Said proposals contain within themselves propositions tending to corrupt the county officers of the State, and looking to the corruption of the members of this General Assembly, which propositions are corrupt in themselves, indecent, and of a high criminal character, and merit the condemnation of all good men and the penalties of the law; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the above named committee have full power to fully investigate this branch of the matter, and report to this House, and pursue such a course as they may deem it expedient tor the House to take in the premises.
page: 451[View Page 451]Mr. ZOLLARS alleged the genuine authorship of the circular letter, and moved that the resolution be adopted.
Mr. BUSKIRK made such personal explanations as he supposed might be expected from him, seeing that his name is mentioned in the circular.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. ZOLLARS then proposed the Special Committee under the resolution, viz: Messrs. Stephenson, Wildman, Gordon, Osborn and Pierce of Porter.
On motion of Mr. OSBORN, Messrs. Zollars and Coffroth were added; and so the committee was constituted.
The bill [S. 133] amendatory of the act touching the removal and relocation of county seats; was read the first time.
On motion of Mr. OSBORN, the constitutional restriction was suspended, and the bills, S. 133, 256, 178, 268 and 222, were taken up for consideration on their several readings.
The bill [S. 133] was then read the second time by title.
Mr. SHOAFF moved, ineffectually, to refer it to the committee on County and Township Business.
The bill was then read the third time.
Mr. PIERCE of Porter, suggested an objection. The bill requiring fifty-five per cent. of the voters to the petition for the removal of the county sear (the existing law requiring two thirds) he would prefer the majority of householders.
The bill was finally passed the Houseyeas 63, nays 15.
The bill [S. 256] to fix the terms of Common pleas in the Eleventh District, and repealing all other laws on the same subject, was taken up under the present order, and passed the several stages and the final reading in the House of Representatives--yeas 75, nays 0.
Mr. COFFROTH moved the reconsideration of the vote of Tuesday whereby the House refused to order the engrossment of the Normal School appropriation bill, [H. R. 130] and that the motion be made the special order for Wednesday at two o'clock.
Mr. OSBORN moved to lay the matter on the table.
Mr. LAMBORN demanded the yeas and nays.
Mr. PIERCE of Vigo, and Mr. WILDMAN, (by consent) gave considerations why the motion to reconsider should not be laid on the table.
The vote stood yeas 24, nays 51. So the motion was not laid on the table.
The motion to reconsider was then passed over.
Mr. NEFF moved to reconsider the vote by which the county seats bill, [S. 133] was passed, and--
On the motion of Mr. JOHNSON of Parke, the motion was laid on the table.
The bill [S. 178] to regulate the terms of the Circuits in the first Judicial Circuit (the same that was recalled from the Governor for correction) was next taken up under the pending suspension of the constitutional restriction, passed through the several stages and the final reading in the House of Representatives--yeas 68, nays 0.

It finally passed by yeas 70, nays 0.
The legalization bill [S. 81] was passed the second reading.

Mr. DAVIS said no objection could be raised to the bill except the old declaration that the St. Joseph river is a navigable stream. It was notorious that that river has ceased to be used for the purposes of navigation.
The bill was finally passed the House of Representative--yeas 67, nays 0.
On motion of Mr. STEW ART of Rush, Mr. Millegan's gravel road bill, [H. R. 52] was taken up and made the special order for next Wednesday at three o'clock p. m.

On motion of Mr. PIERCE of Vigo, Mr. Williams' of Union, General Elections bill, [H. R. 23] was taken up and made the special order for Tuesday, at eleven o'clock, a.m.
A question being raised that there is no quorum voting--
Mr. COFFROTH moved that the House do now adjourn.
Mr. UNDERWOOD proposed to make the adjournment till Monday two o'clock.
Mr. COFFROTH made the point that a motion to adjourn is not amendable.
The SPEAKER (Mr. Buskirk in the Chair) sustained the point of order.
Mr. STEWART of Rush, said the motion to adjourn to a day certainly has preference.
The SPEAKER But it is a proposition to amend.
Mr. KERCHEVAL proposed to quote from Wilson's Digest.
Mr. COFFROTH contended that the House having a few days since agreed to trade off the stock of Wilson's Digest on hand for two additional copies of the Volksblatt any gentleman having use for such Digest should, in courtesy to the House, use the Volksblatt instead, and tendered the gentleman a copy.
Mr. KERCHEVAL said that he presumed, as the gentleman from Huntington had introduced the bill to introduce German into the public schools he might get along very well with the Volksblatt, but he, the Speaker, could not, he would therefore continue to use the Digest.
The SPEAKER was about to put Mr. Coffroth's motion to adjourn, when--
Mr. UNDERWOOD took an appeal from the Chair's decision, that a motion to adjourn to a stated time does not take precedence of a motion to adjourn.
The SPEAKER didn't seem to justify the ruling at all, but wanted the House adjourned, as it was getting very late, and there was at any rate no quorum present.
Some member here moved to lay the appeal on the table.
Another member demanded the yeas and nays.
Mr. SABIN made the point of order that there is no quorum to appeal to.
Mr. Coffroth's motion to adjourn was rejected.
Mr. UNDERWOOD then moved that the House do now adjourn till Monday, two o'clock.
Mr. WILE said he desired to offer a resolution before the House shall adjourn, and he asked and obtained unanimous consent that it be read for information. He then submitted and the clerk began to read the following:
WHEREAS, The 22d day of February is the anniversary of the birth day of George Washington, the father of our country, and,
WHEREAS. The memory of the loved, honored, and respected defender of liberty and right, should forever be kept sacred; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That when this House adjourns its labors for this week, it do adjourn until Tuesday next at nine and a half o'clock a. m.
Objection being made--
The SPEAKEK said objection being made, the resolution could not be received pending a motion to adjourn.
And then--
The House adjourned, till Monday two o'clock p. m.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – DECEMBER 03: A general view of the huge shopping complex 'Mall of the Emirates' on December 3, 2009 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Stock markets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi fell sharply this week after state owned company Dubai World asked for more time to pay off debts amounting to ���35 billion.

When an anonymous letter alleged "positive proof" that cheating had occurred during a 2011 sergeant's exam for the Bal Harbour Police Department, Chief Thomas Hunker called an "all hands" meeting of the 30-member force and induced every officer present to provide a DNA cheek swab — so he could unmask the unnamed author.
And when two condo dwellers, one a prominent former banker, went to court over a shoving match in the lobby of the Balmoral on Collins Avenue, Hunker called the judge in an effort to influence the outcome.
A hardnosed, decorated South Florida cop who took charge of the Bal Harbour Police Department 10 years ago, Hunker was used to doing things his way — until he butted heads with the U.S. Justice Department last year.
That drawn-out battle is expected to cost Hunker his job, possibly as early as Thursday.
The Justice Department alleges that Bal Harbour police, under Hunker's direction, mishandled millions received under a federal forfeiture program. The money, totaling $7.3 million over three years, was generated by village police partnering with federal agencies to investigate drug dealers and money launderers far outside the boundaries of Bal Harbour, a relatively crime-free oceanside town of about 2,500.
When cash was seized, participating agencies got a cut of the loot.
But Bal Harbour has been suspended from the program, and the feds have demanded the village return more than $4 million.
Justice Department investigators say Bal Harbour misspent that money on unjustified overtime and lavish travel, and improper payments to confidential informants. The money also went to cover salaries and benefits for two undercover investigators, and to purchase expensive toys: $100,000 for a police power boat; $225,000 for a sleek surveillance truck.
Suspended with pay since December, the 61-year-old Hunker is now negotiating a severance with Bal Harbour, said his attorney, Richard Sharpstein.
Brash and outspoken, Hunker blames the federal investigation on professional jealousy rooted in his well-established success bringing millions in forfeited cash back to little Bal Harbour.
Now, Hunker is trapped in a no-man's land: under investigation, and the subject of allegations of misconduct contained in a scathing 12-page report released by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General.
Sharpstein called the allegations "innuendo" and "a witch hunt to destroy Tom Hunker completely, unnecessarily.''
Although no one has accused Hunker of pocketing money, Justice Department investigators say he interfered with arrests and prosecutions, accepted gifts from individuals who could have benefited from his position, and conducted unauthorized checks of criminal databases for people who did not have access to those systems.
Sources familiar with the investigation have grumbled that Bal Harbour cops were fixated on seizing cash to the detriment of the broader goal of breaking up large criminal networks by making arrests and indicting suspects. The federal report noted that Bal Harbour, in its years in the program, never made a single arrest.
In addition to alleging that village police inflated their overtime and racked up lavish expenses, the Justice Department report seemed to go out of its way to slam Hunker.
Investigators said he allowed a drunk friend — a civilian — to drive a police cruiser on the beach; got his wife a "deal" on a Jeep from an auto dealership that did business with the department; and that he hired the son of another friend after the aspiring lawman had washed out at the police academy by, among other transgressions, cheating on a first-aid test.

SA a banana republic: Malema
South Africa is a "banana republic" that does not follow the rule of law, expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema said on Wednesday.
"No one is above the law, not the military, not the presidency, and not Parliament. Every court decision must be respected," Malema told about 60 soldiers in civilian dress at the Lenasia Recreation Centre, south of Johannesburg.
"We must respect the courts, but the leadership of this banana republic disrespects the courts."
He said government had not followed court orders in three instances.
It did not provide the Democratic Alliance the evidence in the case against President Jacob Zuma, had not delivered textbooks, and was not re-instating 1100 soldiers put on special leave for marching at the Union Buildings in 2009.
The country's confidence in its leadership needed to be rebuilt.
"Your Commander in Chief [Zuma] is engaged in other things. You are a lesser priority. All of us are a lesser priority," Malema said.
"I don't know what is a priority to him, maybe getting married every year. He specialises on that one. Maybe that is what is going right for him.
"Here, children don't have books, people in hospitals don't have the necessary machines, they don't have roads or clean water."
Malema repeated an earlier accusation that Zuma was a dictator.
"These are the symptoms of dictatorship, a political principle in the form of a president becoming more rich and rich, and those that he is leading becoming more poorer and poorer."
Malema led the crowd in an alternative version of dubula ibhunu [shoot the boer] called "kiss the boer" before pointing his index finger to the sky.

Dude Ranch Outfit (retired) Jun 6, 2006 18:04:36 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostBack to Top Post by Guest on Jun 6, 2006 18:04:36 GMT -5 After finally getting this outfit, I agree that it IS worth every penny!The blouse: The blouse's sleeves are actually really snug on PM Molly (think Lissie's traveling gown on a 1991 Lissie snug), but I don't even care. It does fit, thank goodness. My favorite part about the blouse is that fact that it snaps up instead of velcros.The skirt: This is very cute, although once again, snug on a PM Molly, especially after tucking in the blouse. I was expecting the belt to be removable, but it's okay that it's not, especially since I'm really looking forward to mixing and matching this skirt with other outfit pieces.The hat: This is the reason why I didn't want this outfit originally. I don't like how the hat just barely sits on Molly's head. I'd prefer Molly to wear the hat that goes with the AGT Horse Lovers outfit. I am getting used to that hat, now, but Molly won't be wearing it often.The canteen: A little disappointed in this. I wasn't expecting it to be plastic! It is cute just the same, though, and I'm glad the lid really does come off.I haven't gotten the boots yet, since they're on backorder, but I'll review them when they do arrive. However, the brown oxfords look GREAT with this outfit.Grade: B+Molly with the hat:Molly without the hat:

I think the fact that the skirt is elastic really helps that. However, it's still slightly tight on her and I can see some pulling on the front just under the belt.The shirt and skirt are made of a nice light-weight denim material. However, the detailing on the shirt makes it a very thick item! It is embroidered with flowers, and edged with piping. The buttons really work. The skirt is elastic and the belt is only on the front half of the skirt. I am impressed with the detailing considering this would be more of a costume for Molly.The canteen is plastic with a rubber strap. I wish it was metal and leather, which I expect is more accurate for the time. But the nice thing about the rubber strap is that it's a bit grippy and makes it easier for the dolls to hold. The cap comes off and you could actually fill the canteen if you wanted to.

It arrived yesterday and I adore it. I think the attention to detail on the shirt and boots is gorgeous and appropriate for the era. The hat feels wonderfil to the touch; very rich! There are no issues in getting either the clothing or the boots on. I had the boots well before the outfit and used them on my modern girls. Now I want another pair. I absolutely love this outfit and give it an A+++.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has been instructed by the Union Home Ministry through an internal communication to take action and impose penalty on two telecom firms for not providing exact details of people using internet, reports PTI.
According to the agency, a Joint Director of a central security agency under the Home Ministry through this note informed DoT Secretary R Chandrashekar that Internet Protocol addresses were provided along with exact dates and timings to some telecom service providers.
However, the two firms a private telecom company and a foreign company providing Internet solution in India, were "unable to provide us with exact details and actual user in case of communication" used through mobiles phones.
"As a result, we have been unable to trace our targets. Lack of timely and precise input from the telecom service provider hampers operational effectiveness of the data sought which results in operational ineffectiveness and failure of the ongoing operation, thus undermining the importance of national security," PTI quoted from the note.
The note said that a request had been made to one of the largest private telecom companies of India on May 7 and May 9 with date and exact time for resolving two IP addresses related to internet activity concerning national security.
"But the service provider could not locate the actual user who accessed the internet during the given time," it said.
Another request was made to a foreign company on May 10 with all required details. However, it also failed in providing the details.

Hi, I could not find a meetup group just for Lesbians who want a ski trip with other lesbians.

I would love to meet and start a group of people that have wave runners or Jet Ski's in the South Bay area and they like to go out on the ocean (not lakes).. I see groups (2-4 skiers) going between Catalina and LA as well as LB and San Pedro to Redondo Beach on the weekends and I want to get a group started so we can get these ski's out of storage or our garages and use them .. I'm sure there are also MDR friend potentials as well..

Panache Fleece Shorts Submitted by David on Tue, 10/02/2012 - 06:51 News Item: Hot TopicCycling Product Reviews If you haven't tried a pair of thermal bike shorts you are missing out. I have been using Panache Fleece Bib Shorts for a couple weeks now and they are my go to shorts when the temperature dips below 55F. I do a lot of my riding early in the morning so these have been getting a lot of ride time. The fleece lined shorts keep your legs extra warm. If the temps dip lower, add a pair of leg warmers and you will be very comfortable. Here are some technical specifications from the Panache web site: FABRIC: 220 weight Roubiax fleece. Durable, long-wearing nylon under the chamois, compression Power Lycra on the printed panels for good looks and muscular support. Breathable, wicking poly elsewhere to regulate temps. CONSTRUCITON: Nine panels let us put the right material in the right place. Absolutely no cross-seam in the chamois, making the most comfortable contact point possible. CHAMOIS: High density open-cell all-way stretch foam padding with two layer X-TRACT fabric against the skin. Ultra fast drying with great breathability. COMPRESSION: Studies show supported, stable muscles last longer. Rest up for the bunch kick. STITCHING: Flatlock seams - smoother, stronger seams mean smoother, stronger riding. TAGLESS: No tags, no chafing, no problem. GRIPPER: Long-lasting, no-crack silicone for durability. GRAPHICS: Digital printing means vibrant, crisp, accurate graphics. Your team designs won't run or bleed, giving them more pop than you've ever seen. FIT: Performance fit. You want a pair? You can buy them online.

Shredly Shorts and Jersey Review Submitted by Cheri Felix on Wed, 07/04/2012 - 18:12 News Item: Cycling Product ReviewsJust for WomenSee our previous article on How a Carbondale Company is Changing the Way Women Look and Feel When They Ride the Silver Bullet Product Details Maybe I don't speak for everyone but I definitely know a contention of women who routinely ask, "Why are all the women's mountain bike shorts black?" Well, Shredly has solved that dilemma. Shredly is a Colorado company, founded and operated by a Colorado native. And the clothing is made in the U.S.A. The founder, Ashley Rankin, took her background in apparel design and production and turned it into a clothing line that is sure to light up the trails.? Shredly shorts are different from anything I've seen on the racks. And if you're thinking they look a lot like board shorts, you'd be right. Ashley took the idea of a longer short, added more coverage and a whole lot of design. The shorts have a wide waist band with low comfy pockets in the front. The backside is pocket-free and comes up high enough so that you don't distract the person behind you. There is a side snap pocket on the right leg; perfect for trail map, beer money or a snack. The material is soft and just stretchy enough to move with you as you ride. These "Made in the U.S.A.' shorts are constructed well and held up nicely in my style of doing laundry (translation: I don't read washing instructions). The shorts are available in eight different designs and vibrant colors and they have a 10.5 inch inseam. The shorts fit true to size and come in sizes 0-12.

How a Carbondale Company is Changing the Way Women Look and Feel When They Ride Submitted by Cheri Felix on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 15:21 News Item: Hot TopicCycling Product ReviewsJust for Women Shredly Founder Ashley Rankin This past spring a friend was in Grand Junction riding the lunch loops. She sent me a picture from a bike shop. Her message said, "You should test these Shredly bike shorts!" They were so unique I looked into it further and found out that Shredly is a Colorado mountain bike apparel company, founded by a Colorado native and made in the U.S.A. This was enough to peak my interest so I contacted the founder Ashley Rankin and asked her a few questions about her business, how she got started and what she'd liked to see for the future of her clothing company. It all started when Ashley wanted some new mountain bike shorts and after a few seasons of not finding what she wanted (everything was black and boring), her idea of creating her own company started percolating. In the meantime, Ashley wore board shorts with a chamois. And then after receiving lots of compliments she took it one step further. She embroidered her Shredly logo on her board shorts. From there it was a matter of finding fabrics, a pattern maker and a production manager. When Ashley talks about the two women who fill these roles, you can hear the emotion. They are her mentors and her extended family. When one cries, they all cry. And speaking of crying, having a great idea and great fabric and a great team are all fine but who is going to pay for it all?

Review - Club Ride Eden Shorts and Bandara Jersey Submitted by Cheri Felix on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 13:04 News Item: Cycling Product ReviewsIf there's one thing you can count on from me, it's that I'm fickle. Just this spring I said, "I like longer shorts. I can't believe how short my old shorts are…" Cue the foreshadowing. Well, the Club Ride Eden shorts definitely made me move back up the inseam line. And I dare anyone to call them too short. Club Ride is based in Sun Valley, Idaho and their bottom line is, why not wear something that kicks butt on the trail and looks good for the après beer. I get it. Who doesn't love an après beer? The Club Ride Eden shorts are made out of nylon, Ultra lightweight BambX™ Stretch bamboo and spandex. Yep bamboo. Bamboo has antimicrobial properties and it is hypoallergenic. It's also anti-static. I wish my homecoming dress would have been made from bamboo. At the end of the day, the combination gives you a soft, giving and comfortable pair of shorts. They are raven black (but more like dark charcoal grey) and they also come in Indigo Blue. They have a seven inch inseam and the sizing was perfect. Comfortable to ride in and they (just like Club Ride is hoping for) look great. They have an outside adjustable system and a zippered pocket in the back. Bottom line (no pun intended): These are super cute. Yes, they will make you ride faster and yes you can get behind your seat on that sick downhill and yes, they make your butt look great too. The removable liner is unique. At first I thought, no way. Too short. Like boy underwear short. But I was wrong. Because they are short, there is no tugging them down. The chamois was just like the three bears story, not too big, not too small, but just right. And the Coolmax® liner is super breathable even on long, hot Colorado days. And although with other liners, I am ready to rip them off right after the ride, this one is comfortable enough to wear for the après beer or trip to the grocery store.

REEB Cycles - Carbon Drive SingleSpeed Submitted by David on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 13:24 News Item: Cycling Product ReviewsI got a chance to ride the REEB last weekend. I road at Betaso and Heil Ranch in what I would call typical Front Range mountain biking (little bit of everything). I have been riding a single speed 29er since 2004 but its been a while since I was so excited to ride a bike. I am not the fastest going downhill on a mountain bike but man did I feel comfortable and fast on the REEB. Some of it could have been the 2.35" tires, which the REEB offers plenty of clearance to run, but the bike just felt stable going downhill. Even with the big tires the bike was very lightweight. The bike did shine going down but going uphill was just as nice. Photo Credit: 303Photo Read more about REEB Cycles - Carbon Drive SingleSpeedAdd new comment

This time we are focusing on quality commuter shoes, the Chrome Midway Pro shoe. Where do can you get quality commuter gear in the Boulder area (sorry, can't speak for Denver area)? Maybe REI, maybe Performance and a few shops sell some gear but for some reason commuter products are simply underrated in our area. All of my cycling shoes have been retired race shoes, which are fine but they are just that, retired race shoes, lacking style and fucntion until I found the Chrome Midwway Pro shoe.

Prof fights reprimand for 'wetback' reference
January 25, 2008
Boston Herald
Free-speech advocates are calling on Brandeis University to apologize to a longtime professor who was disciplined after he allegedly told students in his class on Latin American politics that Mexican migrants are sometimes pejoratively referred to as "wetbacks."
The university accused Donald Hindley of making statements that violated its policies on discrimination and harassment, Hindley said in a statement Wednesday.
Neither the letter nor Hindley's statement specified what he said or is accused of saying. But in a press release this week, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said Hindley turned to the group for help, insisting that he criticized the use of the word "wetbacks" as a racial slur, only to have the university threaten to fire him unless he agreed to allow a temporary "monitor" in his class.
"It's like being in some Woody Allen film. It's a self-parody of political correctness," said Wendy Kaminer, a lawyer who sits on FIRE's advisory board. "And I'm sure the people who disciplined this professor are some of the same people who carry on about the Bush administration being Kafka-esque."
Brandeis spokesman Dennis Nealon declined to comment.
Hindley was not allowed to appeal the provost's decision and has refused to attend sensitivity training, said his lawyer, Andrew Good.
"I have been persecuted for some years because I am outspoken," Hindley said, "... and this is vindictive persecution for my outspokenness."
Students in Hindley's class staged a sit-in, criticizing Brandeis for not involving them in its investigation. And the Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities lambasted the Waltham school for its handling of the case.

Oral argument: Dec. 7, 2009
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (Aug. 22, 2008)
In 2002, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in reaction to the perceived failures of the self-regulatory system for accounting procedures that led to the infamous Enron and WorldCom scandals. The Act established the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to supervise the audit of public companies. Although the Board is under the authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission, its members are not subject to direct removal or appointment by the President and it retains the power to set and raise its own budget. In this case, the Supreme Court will determine whether the Act's establishment of the Board is an unconstitutional violation of separation of power principles and whether the Board's structure violates the Appointments Clause. Petitioners argue that the Act violates separation of powers by diminishing the President's ability to control or supervise Board members. Respondents argue that the Act does not violate separation of powers because Congress can grant exclusive appointment and removal authority to the Heads of Departments. Petitioners additionally argue that the Board's structure violates the Appointment Clause because Board members are Principal Officers and, even if they were to be construed as Inferior Officers, their appointment is still unconstitutional, because the SEC is not a "Department" and its Commissioners are not the SEC's "Head," as required by the Clause. In response, Respondents argue that Board members are inferior officers because they are controlled directly by the SEC, and that the SEC is in fact a "Department" over which the President can exercise broad control and the Commission is its "Head" because it exercises the SEC's collective powers. The case will ultimately determine the permissibility of the scheme currently in place that regulates US financial markets.

By Earl Vaughan Jr. Scholastic sports editor
Having two 1,000-yard rushers on the same football team could be a source of friction as they compete for carries and playing time, as well a place in the spotlight.
But that's not been the case for Jack Britt High School's Eric Carter and Marquis Foshee, who have the Buccaneers in Saturday's state 4-AA championship game with Matthews Butler.
The game is scheduled for an 11 a.m. kickoff at the University of North Carolina's Kenan Stadium.
"We have a good chemistry,'' Foshee said. "There's never any selfishness. We block for each other and we do what we do to get a win.''
Carter enters the game with 1,272 yards rushing in 15 games, while Foshee has 1,061.
One thing that contributes to the way the two running backs work together is the difference in their running styles.
"We call ourselves Smash and Dash, Thunder and Lightning,'' said Carter. "I'm Smash and he's Dash. I do more of a balanced type, inside and outside. He tries to burn you more on the outside with his speed.''
Foshee said the Britt coaching staff tailors play-calling to the backs' success.
"I think the coaches do a good job of putting us in with the right plays that fit our style,'' he said.
That could have posed a problem at the start of the season when first-year coach Brian Rimpf took over for veteran Britt coach Richard Bailey, who left the school to become head coach at Scotland. But Foshee said the transition to Rimpf was smooth.
"It didn't change anything at all,'' he said. "We adapted to what we needed to and got right back to business to get things done.''
Carter said the two have never been in competition with each other. The thing that's always been most important for both of them is winning.
"Nothing is more important than the win,'' he said. "You can't put yourself above the team.''
Their role is critical to the team in numerous ways, Carter said. "It makes the game go faster, eats more time off the clock, gives the other team less time - and that helps our defense out a lot.''
That will be crucial Saturday against a Butler team that will feature the best defense Britt has faced.
"We're not going to sleep on this Butler team,'' Carter said. "When you don't execute, that gets you in a hole.''
At the same time, he said, Britt doesn't plan to make major changes for Butler.
"They bleed like I bleed and sweat like I sweat,'' he said. "We're just going to go out there and play football.''
Rimpf said the Buccaneers are relishing the challenge they will face against Butler.
"They will be the favorite, and something we are used to is being the underdog,'' Rimpf said. "They will love the big stage. As long as they do their job, we expect to be successful.''
