THURSDAY, February 11, 1869.The Senate met at ten o'clock, a. m., pursuant to adjournment--the Lieutenant Governor in the chair.
The Secretary's journal of yesterday's proceedings being read, when--
On motion of Mr. GIFFORD, the further roof was dispensed with.
Mr. WOLCOTT presented, by request of the Governor, copies of a letter from Senator Morton to Governor Baker, inclosing communications from the Third Auditor of the Treasury, and the Comptroller, concerning the settlement of the State claims against the General Government.
They were read and referred to the Committee of the Whole Senate.
Mr. CAVEN presented a petition by way of claim of Wm. Hannaman for services as military claim agent ($2,700) the reading of which was interrupted by Mr. C., on whose motion was referred to the Claims Committee without reading.
Mr. HUGHES presented a petition which was referred without reading.
Mr. GIFFORD returned the bill [S. 225] to change the name of the State Board of Agriculture to the Committee on Agriculture, with a favorable report.
The Committee on Right and Privileges returned the bill [S. 220] to provide for the recovery of money or property lost in gaming, with an amendment striking out the third section, recommending its passage.
Mr. JOHNSON of Spencer, from the same Committee, returned the bill, [S. 172] to exempt burial grounds from sale on execution) recommending its passage.
Mr. BRADLEY, from the same Committee, returned the bill, [S. 209] to provide for the forfeiture of certain estates upon failure to pay taxes, reporting such legislation inexpedient.
These reports were severally concurred in.
Mr. JAQUESS, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported favorably on the claim of Samuel McCormick and others, to the extent of over one thousand dollars, for expenses incurred in defending suits brought against them for acts done in the military service.
Mr. HUGHES moved that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, with instructions to report a bill making the necessary appropriation.
Mr. LASSELLE expressed his dissent from the majority of the Committee in making this report, giving his reasons therefor. There was no legal or moral obligation to pay such claims, and it would be setting a very bad precedent. When taxes are so high, they should look to the General Government if their claim was a just one.
Mr. HUGHES detailed the circumstances connected with the harrassing trials to which they were subjected for acts performed while acting under General Hovey in arresting deserters and preserving peace. It is likely that the General Government will reimburse the State for this amount.
Mr. HANNA announced that the arrests made by these men were without one particle of authority. They amused themselves one whole season in making unlawful arrests and harrass- page: 332[View Page 332] ing the people generally. They had not even verbal authority for making these arrests, unless it may be in one single instance. These men have already received three thousand dollars--what they had expended it for he know not--probably lawyer's fees--and now they are here asking for more money. This is inaugurating a new kind of practice; that the State should pay defendants for their costs in attending court. This Captain McCormick seemed to have a kind of roving commission to do what he pleased, and he did it. We had better look into these things a little before we appropriate the money asked for.
Mr. HUGHES inquired about suits and indictments in Know county.
Mr. HANNA knew nothing about any except those in Sullivan county.
Mr. HUGHES stated that the Supreme Court had reversed those cases, and that the claimants had been legally vindicated. If there had been nobody down in that section of the country harboring deserters, there would have been no necessity for any of them getting killed. These poor farmers were hunted down and driven from court to court, when they were merely acting under orders, and it would have been more manly to have sued men who were able to defend themselves. He read the law excusing and protecting the private soldier from suits for damages on account of acts done under military orders. He supposed these petitioners had made a case before the committee, showing that they were acting un-authority.
Mr. HANNA denounced the law referred to as a disgrace to the statute book and to civilization. He claimed that farmers and grey-headed men had been hunted down, and kept in prison for three months without any charges preferred against them.
Mr. HUGHES admitted that some irregularities were committed by Military Commissions, but asked when there was a war in which they were not committed.
Mr. HAMILTON said these men were acting under authority of Gen. Hovey.
Mr. HANNA (in his seat.) That is false.
Mr. HAMILTON, as one of the Committee, made a statement of the reasons of the Military Committee for allowing the claims, and the papers upon which they were based. The committee did not have the orders before them. The petitioners swore to the amount of money spent, and we concluded we would allow them that. We did not allow them for their time, and probably we did not do as we should in that respect. It is a question for us to decide whether they did right or wrong? They obeyed their superiors, and out of this grew their troubles. The Senator from Monroe [Mr. Hughes] said they were only carrying out the orders of their superiors, and shall we fail to protect them in so doing?
Mr. HANNA moved to refer this matter back to the committee, with instructions to report the evidence in the case.
Mr. HUGHES opposed the motion. He did not want the question to come back here and open up this discussion. He was sorry to see it.
Mr. HUMPHREYS thought the better way to avoid any unpleasant feeling on this subject would be to keep such matters out of the Senate. The same hardness has worked on the other side, though hardness has probably been suffered by the petitioners. He knew of one case where it cost the man some three thousand dollars, besides imprisonment and the sufferings of a trial which the Supreme Court has decided was illegal, and such men have the same right to come in here and ask to be reimbursed as the petitioners have. To keep all these matters out of the Legislature he would oppose the payment of any of those claims. If we begin to pay them there is no telling where it will end.
Mr. HADLEY dissented from the action of the committee in this case, because he sincerely believed that the petitioners have been remunerated as far as they should be. These men, it is true, were acting in good faith, and under orders of superior officers, but they have received some three-fourths of their expenses already, while many men have sacrificed their lives under orders of superior officers, and their families are now suffering in our midst, and no payment is or can be made to them, and for these and other reasons he should vote against the allowance of this claim.
Mr. HUGHES demanded the previous question, this demand was seconded by the Senate, and under its operation the motion was agreed to, by yeas 22, nays 22--the Lieutenant Governor voting "aye," as follows:
YEAS.--Messrs. Beardsley, Bellamy, Case, Caven, Church, Colley, Cravens, Fisher, Hamilton, Hess, Hooper, Houghton, Hughes, Jaquess, Johnson of Spencer, Kinley, Rice, Reynolds, Robinson of Decatur, Scott, Stein and Wolcott--22.
NAYS.--Messrs. Andrews, Bird, Bradley, Carson, Denbo, Fosdick, Gifford, Gray, Hadley, Hanna, Henderson, Huey, Huffman, Humphreys, Johnston of Montgomery, Lasselle, Lee, Morgan, Sherrod, Smith, Taggart and Wood--22.
Pending the roll call--
Mr. BRADLEY, in explanation of his vote said, that he knew nothing of this case except what was brought out in the discussion. Being satisfied these men should be paid, if acting under orders of a superior officer, but that they should be paid by the General Government, and not by the State, he should vote "no."
Mr. CRAVENS when his name was called, said, believing with Mr. Bradley, he should vote "aye," for the reason that these poor men page: 333[View Page 333] would have to exhaust the entire amount of their claim, in prosecuting them, while the State can do it while prosecuting other claims.
So the motion to refer the claim to the Committee on Finance, with instruction to incorporate the same in a bill, was agreed to--the Lieutenant Governor casting the deciding vote in the affirmative.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR announced the special order--being Mr. Hooper's bill [S. 158] to provide for the public printing, regulating the prices to be paid therefor, fixing the time and mode of electing a State Printer, defining his duties, fixing compensation, etc.
It being read the second time--
Mr. HOOPER. Mr. President: Before the vote is taken on this bill, I desire briefly to explain its provisions. I apprehend no question will be presented to the Senate during the session of more vital or practical interest to the State than this question of the public printing. A wide spread belief exists that the public printing, under the existing law, is a course of immense profit to the State Printer, unnecessarily wrung from the tax payers of the State. And in many quarters serious insinuations and charges of peculation and fraud are indulged in against the State Printer. It is no part of my business to-day to prefer charges of any sort against the State Printer, but simply to call your attention to the provisions of this bill, which I think will remove all ground in the future for these apprehensions and charges. If the existing law was less defective, and did not admit of the charges complained of, they would not exist.
The stand point from which I have looked at this question in the preparation of this bill was this: How would a careful, prudent, business man, if he had this amount of printing to do for himself, probably proceed to get it done? With this view I examined the existing law under which the public printing is now done, and found it to be very defective, affording but little protection to the State against overcharging and dishonest practices in the public printing, if unfortunately at any time the State should select a man for State printer whose want of integrity or carelessness, should permit him to take advantage of his position to make money only, without regard to the welfare of the State.
While this bill, now under consideration, carefully guards the interests of the State, it also gives a fair consideration, and just compensation to the State Printer for all his work for the State. For I consider it a correct business principle that holds good everywhere: the laborer is worthy of his hire; pay a fair and just price for the work, and then we have a right to expect and demand that it shall be properly done. Under the present law the pubic printer is allowed to charge for composition, per thousand ems plain matter, forty-five cents; for figure work, sixty cents; rule and figure work, seventy-five cents.
I believe I am safe in stating to the Senate that under the present system, nearly two-thirds of all the work done for the State is counted as figure, or rule and figure work. The existing law makes no provision for the mode of counting and measuring the work; the result is that all this class of work, constituting the great bulk of the State work, is, under the present mode of counting and measuring work by printers' rules, and custom and phrases, actually doubled. The bill under consideration plainly provides the mode of counting and measuring the work. It is all to be counted as plain composition, and no extra allowance made for rules, rule and figure work, or difficult tables.
The result will be that for all that class of work that now really costs the State one dollar and fifty cents per thousand ems, and which constitutes, as I before stated, the great bulk of the State printing, under the present bill will cost but sixty cents per thousand ems, and all inducement will be removed to stick in a lew rules, where in fact they are not needed, in order to make it count under the highest rate of charge. That there will result from this a vast saving to the State there can be no question of doubt. In proof of this take for example the report of the Superinterdent of Public Instruction, made to the present General Assembly. Under the provisions of the bill now under consideration--
The Composition would amount to............... | $491 22 |
Press work..................................... | 270 00 |
Binding........................................ | 115 50 |
Total.......................................... | $876 72 |
Under the existing law the same report may be charged for as follows:
Composition ............................................... | $1,137 60 |
Press Work................................................. | 240 00 |
Binding.................................................... | 302 00 |
Total...................................................... | $1,079 60 |
This bill, then, would have saved to the State on this single report over eight hundred dollars. A moment's reflection upon the amount of this kind of work annually done for the State, will indicate what will be saved to the State on this class of work alone.
To further show the saving this bill will make, take the publishing and binding of the Acts of the General Assembly. The law provides for printing ten thousand copies of the Acts of each session of the Legislature. Under the present mode of estimating and counting, allowed under the existing law, at least the following amounts may be charged:
page: 334[View Page 334]Folding the ten thousand copies.............. | $190 00 |
Gathering the ten thousand copies ........... | 190 00 |
Stitching the ten thousand copies............. | 237 00 |
Trimming the ten thousand copies.............. | 190 00 |
Pressing sheets............................... | 9 50 |
Binding....................................... | 4,000 00 |
Total......................................... | $4,816 50 |
Under the pending bill the entire cost will be only two thousand five hundred dollars. The above estimate is made at three hundred pages per volume, and this is a fair average at least as they usnally fall below three hundred
Under the present law, for a great part of the public printing and binding, there is really no law fixing the price to be paid, and it is left largely at the discretion of the State Printer to charge whatever to him "seemeth good." This is especially true of all that class of work usually denominated "job work." As illustrating this branch of the question, I will call your attention to a single item under the present law, and this I think, will be sufficient to convince every Senator that the State needs some protection in this direction.
Section twenty-two, of the registry law, requires that the necessary blanks, for making the registry required by law, shall be prepared by the Secretary of State, and transmitted to the persons entitled to receive them. Under this law twenty thousand blanks have been printed by the State printer, at a cost to the State of over eighteen thousand dollars. Under the present bill these blanks could not, as I am informed by practical printers, who have examined the bill, possibly have cost the State more than five thousand dollars, unless we suppose a want of integrity in the Commissioners, appointed to measure the work that would preclude the possibility of getting the law administered.
In all this class of work, the State is completely at the mercy of the State Printer, or rather his employees, for, I suppose, in point of fact, the State Printer does not examine one in a hundred of these bills to see whether the proper charges have been made. A State officer sends to the office a job of work to be done; it is printed as directed and returned. It may be that a private individual would have got this job of work done for ten dollars, the State is perhaps charged fifty dollars. At some future time a bill is presented containing a charge for this work. No copy of the job has been kept; no one measured the work at the time for the State; and now it is impossible to tell how much the State has been overcharged.
The pending bill provides ample protection to the State for all this kind of work. Every job of work has to be presented to this commission provided for in the bill, consisting of two practical printers and one book binder. They measure and examine the work, and certify the amount allowed therefor at the rates of payment fixed in this act. Or if the charges specified in the act do not include the work done, then they allow for it at the dame rate charged for the same kind of work in other printing offices.
These Commissioners are also required to keep a copy of each and every job of work allowed by them, with the number of copies marked thereon, and the date when the work was done. This provision I regard as one of the best features of the bill. Then when a committee of the Legislature may wish to investigate the State printing, they will have it all before them in a tangible, practice shape, and will not be left to groupe their way in the dark as they are now.
There is another important provision in this bill to which I will now call the attention of the Senate. It is that which provides that the contract for furnishing the paper and stationery to the State shall be let for each year to the lowest responsible bidder, ample notice of the time and place of receiving sealed bids to be given in the cities of Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. I am satisfied that by adopting this plan of purchasing the paper and sationery for the State, a vast saving will be made to the State each year.
In conclusion, allow me to say that with some practical experience in the printing business, and a careful and thorough investigation of this question of the public printing, I am satisfied that the passage of this bill, and the faithful administration of the same, will save to the State each year many thousands of dollars.
Besides the great saving to the State in dollars and cents, it will remove all ground for this continual and everlasting wrangling, crimination and recrimination about the public printing, for it places the clear evidence of what is done each year and the prices allowed therefor in a practical shape, where there can be no mistake in reference to it. And now while the people demand at our hands strict economy in all public expenditures, and thorough practical retrenchment in every quarter, let us not hesitate to pass this bill and thereby thoroughly reform this matter of the public printing.
Mr. HANNA conceded there were many excellent provisions in this bill, but unless the Senate desires to forestall the action of the Special Committee on Fees and Salaries, consisting of one from each district, action upon it had better be deferred, as that Committee are now considering the subject,and the propriety of continuing or abolishing the office. He moved to refer it to that committee.
Mr. JOHNSTON of Montgomery, offered an amendment providing that no one of the Com- page: 335[View Page 335] missioners should be interested in any manner in the profits of the work to be done.
The motion to refer was agreed to.
And then--
The Senate took a recess till two o'clock, p. m.
The Lieutenant Governor resumed the chair at two o'clock p. m.
Mr. BRADLEY, by leave, offered a resolution, that when the Senate adjourns, it adjourn till two o'clock p. m. to-morrow. He stated that time was necessary for the meeting of committees in the forenoon to-morrow.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. HADLEY asked and obtained leave of absence for the Committee on Military Affairs during to-morrow.
Mr. JOHNSTON of Montgomery, asked and obtained leave of absence indefinitely for Mr. Hanna.
Mr. GRAY, from the Committee on Corporations, returned the city incorporation bill, [S. 85] recommending its passage, with an amendment.
Leave of absence was granted to Mr. Johnston of Montgomery, till Wednesday.
Mr. Lee asked and obtained leave to introduce a bill [S. 227] to fix the time of holding Common Pleas Courts in the counties of Lawrence, Jackson, Jennings and Bartholomew. He moved for a suspension of the rules in order that the bill might be read a third time now.
The rules were suspended, the bill read a third time and passed, by yeas 43, nays 0.
Mr. HADLEY from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a resolution in favor of printing five hundred copies of the claim agents report.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. CANEN, from the Judiciary Committee, returned the bill, [S. 177] prohibiting clerks of courts from certifying the declaration of aliens, reported a substitute therefor.
Also the bill [S. 28] amending section twenty-seven of the will act, recommending that it lie on the table.
Mr. STEIN, from the same Committee returned the bill, [S. 65] to regulate the publication of legal advertisements, with amendments.
The following bills were introduced, read the first time and appropriately referred, unless otherwise stated, to-wit;
By Mr. JAQUESS a bill, [S. 228] to create an Insurance department for the State, with a salary of three thousand six hundred dollars.
By Mr. HAMILTON, a bill [S. 229] regulating the fees of County clerks, auditors and sheriffs.
By Mr. CHURCH, a bill [S. 230] to amend section four of the act to authorize the sale of certain real estate and build a residence for the Governor.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR announced the bill [S. 197]Mr. Hughes' State University Omnibus bill as the special order for this hour.
Mr. HUGHES stated that this bill, as implied on its face, is a combination of Educational interests. It is in intended to commit the State to a general plan of education, beginning with common schools, and leading on to the highest grade of education, all to be free. The first provision takes money out of the treasury, being an appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars to the State University. The second does not, but provides for obtaining it from the sale of University Square, except for a specific appropriation of five thousand dollars as therein provided. The next provision is for completing the State Normal School, appropriating seventy-five thousand dollars. It was said that one hundred thousand dollars is required for this purpose; that will be for the Senate to decide. This also comes out of the treasury. The other provision is for the location of the Agricultural College at Tippecanoe battle ground, which must soon be located, or the assistance proposed by Congress is lost.
The Legislature at its last session recognized to some extent, the State University, by appropriating eight thousand dollars to it. The result has been a largely increased scholarship and a renewed interest. If the twenty-five thousand dollars now asked is granted, great benefits will be derived from it. No institution is more economically managed than this has been. The present buildings, which are the best University buildings in the State, were built by private contribution of the citizens of Monroe county, alter the former buildings were burned down, but the valuable library, consumed at the time, has not been so well replaced. He was satisfied the appropriation was none too large, and contrasted the present condition of this university with that of Michigan. Indiana was the peer of any State in the Union and second to none, and her educational interests should be so fastened by the Legislature as to prevent Indiana's sons from leaving the State in order to obtain a collegiate education.
He spoke of the appropriations which are willingly given, year after year, to the different benevolent institutions of the State, showing that they exceeded, many times over, that which is calied for, for the purpose of educating the healthy and the strong. The build- page: 336[View Page 336] ings, he thought, were amply sufficient--the students lodging outside. Hereafter, it may be necessary to make some addition, but not now. The object is to accommodate more pupils in the building now occupied.
He spoke of the propriety of locating the medical department at the capitol, at some length, remarking that the proposition to sell University Square did not seem to suit in every respect the people of this city, but he did not desire to imperil the fate of the bill upon this proposition alone. He did not intend it as stab at Indianapolis, and should place the responsibility connected with the disposition of this portion of the bill upon the members from Marion county. In the course of his remarks he referred at some length to the proposition in the bill to dispose of University square in this city, and insisted that the State should assert her right over it, because the city has taken possession of it, is improving it, and by the lapse of time will have a title to it. He gave a history of the square, which was granted to the State "for the use of a University"--the State University. The citizens here, or at least those who live around it, think that the word "use" means "site," and that it cannot be sold, or in any way used, except as a site for a University. The city of Indianapolis has no shaddow of title to it, although it has fenced and taken posession of it, and want it for a park. The people around it are able to buy it, and so is the city--the latter having a first opportunity to buy it under the bill. The value of the private residences around it is estimated at one million one hundred and forty-five thousand dollars. The owners are very willing it should be used as a site, but do not want a sight of a University there. He had proposed Tippecanoe Battle Ground as the site of the Agricultural College, because, at the time the bill was drawn, the amount offered as an inducement for its location there was greater than for any other point, while it was a historic point, and there was a seeming propriety in its being so located.
For the completion of the Normal School building he was willing to vote for all that was reasonably necessary. He knew the practice in such cases, and although he had at first hesitated to vote for its location there, he had done so with the expectation of voting more than was called for. He read a letter from Professor Reed, stating that when completed this would be the best building of the kind on the continent; and when Professor Reed said so, he meant it, for he has personally visited every institution of learning of any repute on the continent.
Mr. KINLEY said there was much in the bill and in the speech which he cordially endorsed. His objection was that it did not relate to one, but to many subjects, each one of which should stand or fall upon its own merits. He moved to amend the bill by striking out from section one to sixteen inclusive, and section sixteen being all but the two or three sections declaring that an agricultural college shall be established in connection with the State University.
The yeas and nays being demanded on the adoption of the amendment--
Pending the call of the roll--
Mr. CRAVENS said he desired that no action should be taken upon this bill without the presence of a full Senate. He demanded a call of the Senate.
It was ordered, and being taken, 44 Senators answered to their names, when on his further motion--
Further proceedings under the call were dispensed with.
The amendment was then rejected by yeas 19, nays 24--as follows:
YEAS--Messrs. Bellamy. Carson, Case, Caven, Colley, Gifford, Gray, Hadley, Hess, Hooper, Huey, Huffman, Jaquess, Johnson of Spencer, Johnston of Montgomery, Kinley, Robinson of Decatur, Smith, and Wood--19.
NAYS--Messrs. Andrews, Armstrong, Beardsley, Bird, Bradley, Church, Cravens, Denbo, Fisher, Fosdick, Green, Hamilton, Henderson, Houghton, Hughes, Humphreys, Lee, Morgan, Rice, Reynolds, Scott, Stein, Taggart, Turner and Wolcott--25
Mr. FISHER moved to strike out the fourth section of the bill, which contemplates the appropriation of proceeds from the State prisons for the endowment of a law school at Bloomington. If profits ever do arise from that source, they should be applied to the building of prisons for females or of some similar benevolent institution.
The amendment was agreed to, by yeas 23, nays 20--as follows:
YEAS--Messrs. Armstrong, Beardsley, Bellamy, Bird, Carson, Case, Caven, Colley, Fisher, Fosdick, Gray, Green, Hadley, Huey, Huffman, Jaquess, Johnson of Spencer, Johnston of Montgomer, Kinley, Reynolds, Robinson of Decatur, Wolcott and Wood--23.
NAYS--Messrs. Andrews, Bradley, Church, Cravens, Denbo, Gifford, Hamilton, Henderson, Hooper, Houghton, Hughes, Humphreys, Lee, Morgan, Rice, Scott, Smith, Stein, Taggart and Turner--20
Mr. KINLEY moved that the bill be referred to the joint committee on the location of the Agricultural College.
Mr. HUGHES would be frank enough to say he did not desire it to go there, as the Chairman of the committee had already indicated his hostility towards it, as well as some of the members of it. He did not think it exactly courteous to seek to bury the bill in that way.
Mr. KINLEY said there should not be too much haste in this matter of the location of the College--other propositions may be made to the Legislature to secure its location in other counties in the State. For these reasons he desired the reference.
page: 337[View Page 337]Mr. TURNER, too, was of the opinion that the bill was of too much importance to be hurried through in hot haste, and he moved to amend the amendment by making it the order for Tuesday at two and a half o'clock in Committee of the Whole.
The amendment was agreed to.
The motion as amended was agreed to.
Mr. CRAVENS said every day's delay would endanger the bill, and he moved to reconsider the vote just taken, in order to make the bill the special order for to-morrow afternoon at two and a half o'clock.
Mr. TURNER opposed the motion to reconsider, because his object was delay for deliberation.
Mr. SCOTT spoke in favor of Thursday next.
Mr. STEIN was anxious to see the matter placed squarely before the Senate, discussed fully and fairly, and then voted up or voted down. He disliked to see any ungenerous propositions for the purpose of defeating it, by referring it to unfriendly committees, or by delaying from time to time, for the purpose of finally burying it. He thought to-morrow afternoon we should be warm in the matter, and he though that was the time to continue the discussion, and those in the dark might be able them to vote understandingly.
Mr. HUGHES considered it a little remarkable that with but one speech the opponents of the bill should bring on a test vote at once, without attempting to discuss it, and that now, after having been defeated in that movement, they favored delay. He favored the motion, and for the object indicated.
Mr. KINLEY desired to say that he had intended to kill the main feature of the bill, and that it was an open and frank movement. If it is the desire of the Senate to take it up to-morrow, he was willing to meet it then, or at any other time.
Mr. GRAY spoke of his readiness to go into the discussion at any time, becaused he believed there were enough sensible Senators here to see the real object of this bill, a genuine Omnibus bill, with the Bloomington University on the box, Tippecanoe and Vigo on top, and Indianapolis on the steps, and everybody invited to throw stones at it. He opposed the practice of trying to make capital outside of Indianapolis, by assailing this city, which he was himself proud of as the capital city of the State, with its broad streets and palatial residences, and denounced this way of combining varied interests for the purpose of getting through a favorite measure.
Mr. HADLEY opposed the motion to reconsider, for he desired a full Senate during the consideration of this bill.
Mr. CRAVENS gave his reasons for desiring that the matter should be taken up tomorrow, but withdrew his motion to reconsider the vote.
And then--
The Senate adjourned till two o'clock p. m. to-morrow.

Putting a humorous twist on things different bras were created for employees to vote on which one they liked the best.
George Rea Cancer Center M.D. Joseph Muscato said early detection and prevention are very important.
"I want to emphasize the risk of breast cancer (and) also the risk of colon cancer and the screening for that," Muscato said. "And, I also think that a lot of women don't understand (the) risk of HPV."

Cockroach Controlled Robot
Gross, yet sadly intriguing. If any of you try this mod/hack/disgusting feat - let us know, and take pictures.
"Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine" is a cockroach-controlled mobile robot system. The system uses a living Madagascan hissing cockroach atop a modified trackball to control the three-wheeled robot. Infrared sensors also provide navigation feedback to create a semi-intelligent system, with the cockroach as the CPU.

We often receive scores of letters and emails from homeowners with common questions:
"I've got a big backyard with nothing in it except for grass and a couple of shrubs."
"I want to add some flower beds, a patio and a play area for the kids. Where do I start? I need help!"
For answers, we've turned to Katie Bloome, a landscape architect with Monrovia, a California-based nursery. Katie offers this six-step approach to designing your landscape.
An important part of the design process is creating a space that's suited to your needs—and those of your family, Katie says.
"Begin by making a list of all the ways you would like to use your backyard," she advises. "Talk with everyone in the family, including the youngest members."
"You may have small children who need a grassy area to play, or you may plan to entertain and need a dining area. This kind of evaluation will help you determine the basic components of your landscape."
Once you've decided which features you'd like in the backyard, take time to evaluate your current landscape. "Are there existing trees and plants that you want to incorporate into the design?" Katie asks. "Do any hardscape features exist, such as patios or barbeques?"
This is also a good time to make note of any slopes or valleys in the yard and the sun exposure that different areas receive.
Now you're ready to get out a piece of paper and start planning.
Begin by drawing everything that will remain in the finished yard, such as existing trees, shrubs, decks and walkways. Don't forget to include stationary items that you'd rather conceal, like an LP gas tank.
Then look at your basic wants list and assign a space for each area. This will give you an overall conceptual plan, Katie says.
When doing this, keep in mind the relationship between the yard and your house. For instance, you'll probably want the outdoor living area adjacent to the house for easy access, Katie notes. So start there and work around it.
The child's play area may work best in a spot with both grass and shade, but still within view of the kitchen window or patio. A flower garden would provide a colorful display outside the living room or bedroom windows.
Now it's time for the fun part—dreaming!
Katie suggests that you go through books and magazines and clip pictures of yards you like. Look around the neighborhood, go on garden walks or head to the local nursery to find ideas that you want to incorporate into your space.
Do you like formal or informal styles, symmetrical or natural looks? Do you prefer shady yards with a lot of trees, or sunny ones where flowers dominate?
Consider all kinds of plants and structures. A mixture of trees, shrubs, vines, perennials and annuals will produce a beautiful and balanced yard, then include accents like arbors or birdbaths.
Once you've determined what you like, apply it to your landscape to see if it works. This is where advice from a landscape designer or local nursery might come in handy.
Are the plants you've selected hardy in your area? Is this going to be the easy-care yard you were hoping for, or will it require a little more upkeep? Will the plants work in your soil and sun conditions?
Keep in mind, too, how the plant's future growth will affect your plans. "The sun exposure often changes as plants mature," Katie notes. "You may need sun-loving plants in an area until the tree you've planted grows to offer shade."
Think about how the landscape will work together. Fragrant plants are a wonderful accent around a patio, while litter-free evergreens are appropriate to border a pool or spa, Katie says.
Once you've determined what will really work in your yard, add those plants and features to your diagram.
"I think it's important to put everything down on paper," Katie says. "It will keep the design cohesive."
Whew! You've finally reached the installation phase of your backyard landscape.
Although it'd be nice to complete your plans all at once, that's usually not possible. Instead, start with the areas you'll use most—a patio or deck, for instance—and complete your vision as time and money become available.
And since you have the yard planned on paper, it should be easy to work in stages. So dig in and get growing!

Supporting his old teammates
Glen Davis had something new to show to his old teacher last night with a pair of up-fake layups that actually caught Kevin Garnett in mid-air.
And though it didn't appear that Garnett's words for the new Orlando co-captain were of a mentoring nature, what the Celtics center had to say after last night's 116-110 overtime win over Orlando left no doubt.
Garnett has played against two former teammates in the last two games — Davis and Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins. He was in a reflective mood.

The Litterrat
This pitcher is given an air of grace by the elongated spout and sharply angled handle. It is glazed green with a milky wash at the lip edge. It stands 7" high and is marked Hull USA A-6. The pitcher is part of the 1960's Marcrest line and listed by Robert's as a Heritageware pitcher.
The Litterrat
I believe this to be the Regal China Little Red Riding Hood. The interior of the lid is unglazed. The poppy decalhas a portion missing on the lower poppy. There is a small glaze miss on her left shoulder and a "pimple" of raised glaze on the back of her cape. There are no cracks, chips or crazing. Marked USA on bottom. Approximately 8" high.

"The reason Advanced section is arrogant and pretentious?
We're better than you, in every conceivable sense of the word. Deal with it."
- The Absent Mare
What is Roleplayer Guild?
Roleplayer Guild is one of the fastest growing play-by-post roleplaying communities on the internet and we attribute much of this to our simple structure and approachable lack of rigid rules. We try to create a roleplaying community as freeform and user-driven as possible. We like flexibility.
What also makes Roleplayer Guild unique is that our roleplaying forums are divided not by genre, but by level of skill/standards. After three years of experimentation, we believe this is a natural division that is most helpful for roleplayers trying to find like-minded roleplayers.
Free Roleplay: No standards.
Casual Roleplay: Medium standards.
Advanced Roleplay: High standards.
We also offer some niche roleplay forums:
The Arena: Dueling roleplay.
One on One: Roleplaying in pairs.
What is Roleplaying?
Imagine that each thread is a multiplayer online roleplaying game.
- The Game Master (GM) is the one that has created the thread. He or she defines the time and place of the roleplay, establishes the general plot, and introduces the character he or she will be playing. The roleplay premise can range from an academy of sorcerers to a group of bald space marines to some 17-year-old vampires in a highschool romance.
- Each player creates and controls a character in the roleplay.
- The GM and players then take turns posting in the thread. In each post, the player's character interacts with the other characters in the thread and advances the adventure.
Let's look at an example:
Pretend we have a roleplay in the Casual Roleplay forum involving a particularly original storyline: Four hobbits must take the Ring of Power across varied and epic lands, ultimately casting it into the depths of the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano.
There are four roleplayers involved in this journey:
No code has to be inserted here.
Now for the example's roleplay thread:
After the GM and the players discuss the thread and its premise in the Interest Check thread (more on that later), the GM creates the roleplay. In his introductory post, he provides a brief history of the world in which the roleplay takes place. He describes the evil of the Ring of Power, how it came into Sedendegad's possession, and how Sedendegad must recruit a party of hobbits from the local tavern to destroy the Ring and rid the hobbit world of evil.
So, we have post #1 (excerpt):
No code has to be inserted here.Now the other players post, explaining how their characters fit into the storyline. They introduce their own hobbits, develop their characters, interact with the scene that the GM has provided, and most importantly, interact with the actions of eachother.
No code has to be inserted here.And so the quest begins. The roleplayers and the GM set out on their journey, taking turns posting, interacting, fighting, and overcoming outer and inner conflicts. The roleplayers don't need to post in a certain order, but you do want to try and let everyone post. Everyone should contribute to the progression of the roleplay and the GM should keep everyone on task and lead the roleplay.
How to use Roleplayer Guild
- Pick a Roleplaying forum that suits you.
- Head to the Interest Checks to join or make a roleplay.
- This is where members gather a group before they start the roleplay.
- Either post in or make an Interest Check.
- Note: There's no rule against messaging the GM of an active roleplay or even posting in a roleplay's OOC to explain that you're interested and would like to join.
- If you are the roleplay's GM, make the IC and OOC threads for the roleplay.
- If you're only a roleplay participant, take note of where the GM makes the IC/OOC threads so you can find them when you want to post.
- Begin roleplaying and have fun.
Now, here's the checklist with pictures.
Step 1: Pick a Roleplaying Forum that suits you
It's easier to find roleplayers that share your style and interests if you can choose a forum most congruent to your interests.
Step 2: Create or post in an Interest Check (Optional)
Interest Checks are used to form a roleplaying group. If you've chosen a forum in Step 1 then you can post in the appropriate Interest Check subforum. If you don't know which one to pick, you can just post in the general Interest Check forum.
In an Interest Check, you brainstorm roleplaying ideas, pitch ideas, and generally see if anybody finds it interesting. Alternatively, you can find Interest Checks that interest you and brainstorn with other interested roleplayers.
While it's generally a good idea to create an Interest Check, it's not always necessary. Sometimes you already have a group of people that want to roleplay.
If you're just looking for one person to roleplay with, it might be a good idea to head over to the One on One Interest Checks.
Step 3: Create an In Character (IC) and Out Of Character (OOC) thread for your roleplay
What they're for:
No code has to be inserted here.If you're the GM, make sure you link the others to the IC and OOC threads. It's a good idea to post the links in the Interest Check thread and in each IC and OOC thread for easy navigation.
Get out there and roleplay!
The fastest and most effective way to learn how to roleplay is to dig in and start posting. The experience comes quick and the rope is easy to get the hang of.

Pretty Blue and White
January 16, 2012 in Blue, Chic, Classic, Dining room, Hallway/Entry, Living room
Deep blue walls paired with lots and lots of shiny white is one of my favorite color schemes. These rooms have such a traditional look, but they all have elements that adds a contemporary edge. In the room above, silver details adds to the cool color palette while the bright orange details adds lots of warmth. The chevron rug doesn't hurt either =)

For example, early in the development of the Ca2+ hypothesis, we found evidence of increased Ca2+ signaling and voltage-gated Ca2+ influx in hippocampal neurons during normal aging in rats (Landfield and Pitler, 1984). This observation has been extended since by imaging and single channel recording studies (Thibault et al., 1996; Thibault et al., 2001; Hemond and Jaffe, 2005), and such increased Ca2+-dependent processes have been shown to be relevant to age-associated learning deficits (Disterhoft et al., 2004). Furthermore, a recent age course study found that onset of increased Ca2+ release from RyRs with normal aging may underlie wide disturbances in Ca2+-dependent processes (Gant et al., 2006), conceivably, in tandem with or in response to increased influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (Thibault et al., 2007).
As Stutzmann has pointed out, presenilin mutations alone, although they account for the effect on RyR Ca2+ release, are not sufficient to induce pathological hallmarks of AD or neurodegeneration. Moreover, gene mutations account for only a few percent of AD cases. For the vast majority of sporadic cases, then, AD is overwhelmingly a disease of aging. Thus, if Ca2+ dyshomeostasis is indeed a key player in the transition from normal brain aging to AD, our understanding of the role of "calcinopathies" in AD will clearly be informed by unraveling the nature of multiple Ca2+ disturbances at the intersection between normal brain aging and AD.

A commitment to academics and student-athlete success in the classroom is a vital part of the NCAA's mission to integrate athletics into the fabric of higher education. The NCAA pledges to help student-athletes achieve their academic goals as well as their athletics goals.
Prospective student-athletes who achieve the current minimum initial-eligibility standard on the test score-GPA sliding scale with at least a minimum 2.3 core-course GPA would continue to be eligible for athletically related financial aid during the first year of enrollment and practice during the first regular academic term of enrollment. Student-athletes serving this academic redshirt year would have to successfully complete nine semester or eight quarter hours during their first academic term to be eligible for practice during their second term. For immediate access to competition, prospective student-athletes will be required to present at least a 2.0 GPA and an increased sliding-scale credential. Specifically, prospects need to earn about a half-point higher GPA for a given test score compared to the standard for aid and practice. For example, an SAT score of 820 would require a 2.5 high school core-course GPA for competition and a 2.0 high school core-course GPA for aid and practice. Incoming student-athletes will be required to successfully complete 10 of the 16 total required core courses before the start of their seventh semester in high school. Seven of those 10 courses must be in English, math and science.
The Division I membership has implemented a series of policies to strengthen the preparedness of Division I student-athletes for college work and ensure they make steady progress toward a degree.
To that end, college and university presidents decided that institutions should be held accountable for the academic performance of student-athletes. The NCAA developed the Academic Progress Rate, a system that provides a snapshot in time for each academic term, allowing schools to intercede and help academically challenged student-athletes. The rate is team-based and accompanied by a penalty system that includes sanctions for teams falling below a prescribed benchmark.
The NCAA's ultimate goal is for student-athletes to graduate. Having a college degree gives student-athletes more options later in life.

Jon Hartman is ready for SIA, and he will not be sorry for partying
SIA is fast approaching and that means that unless you own a company or are a buyer for a big shop (I guarantee you are neither) you are heading to the show to get hammered. Now lets talk rule #1, everyone is there to do business but you, I don't care if you have a promo or whatever, no one cares, you have a much better shot of making a good impression by not harassing people, drinking beer and having a good time, hell it has always worked for me, which is why this is a guide to boozing at SIA.
Now lets get to the brass tax, the show itself. First off, Denver is not Vegas. I love Denver, it is my home city, it is great but it isn't Vegas, so you can't just be drinking wherever you want in the trade show, they are real Nazis about that. However with careful planning you can avoid the Stazi and get drunk all day. Lesson 1, at 4:00 business breaks down as people start to get their buzz on till late into the evening. It is a good bet to hang out over in the snowboard section around this time as the kegs will start appearing aplenty, bands set up and things are dumped out. This is not to say that there aren't some good keggers on the ski side like Tomahawk and Moment for instance (in$$$$$$$entive), but for the most part the snowboard side is a good bet. Another option for the long span of the day is to sneak in booze, a tell tale sign for security is a non-convention center beer so do your studying the first day, generally they sell plastic bottle Budwiser in the convention center so roll up the street to the liquor store and pick yourself up a case*, throw it in your backpack and be slightly discrete and you will be boozing all day. You can also sneak in liquor just be discrete when taking pulls. Another lesson to remember is not to be afraid to be blackout in the trade show, no matter how drunk you are someone at the party will always be drunker.

The Cancer Outreach, Outcomes, and Research for Equity (CORE) Center
Understanding Cancer for All
Social and cultural barriers to effective cancer care lead to inequities in cancer outcomes. Determining effective intervention strategies to reduce these barriers is vital. The Cancer Outreach, Outcomes, and Research for Equity (CORE) Center at the NYU Cancer Institute addresses disparities in cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship among immigrant and minority communities in the New York City. We partner with the community to design and implement inter-institutional cross-disciplinary research, education, information dissemination, and program and policy development.
CORE focuses on cancer disparities among African American, Chinese, Haitian, Latino, Arab, African, Caribbean, Russian, Polish, and South Asian immigrants. The CORE Center conducts extensive community-based participatory education, screening, clinical care, research, and training programs to overcome barriers to care and to bring evidence-based cancer interventions to medically underserved communities.

Obama likely to visit 'Lost Tomb,' resting place of early ancestor, in Kilkenny on Irish trip

This column was first to predict Obama would visit Ireland this May and now I predict Barack Obama will visit Dublin, Moneygall and likely Kilkenny City where the 'lost tomb' of his long ago relative was recently discovered.
Obama is due in Ireland on May 23rd.
St.Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny is where the remains of Bishop John Kearney , Obama's sixth generation granduncle, is buried.
The story of the discovery of his tomb reads like a Dan Brown plot.
John Kearney was the Bishop of Ossory and a former provost of Trinity College who died in Kilkenny city at the Bishop's Palace in 1813. It is now the headquarters of the Heritage Council.
Film maker Gabriel Murray, who has made a documentary on Obama's Irish roots, finally found "Obama's Lost Tomb" inside the 13th century St. Canice's Cathedral.
Murray, along with Cathedral assistant Frances Moore, used a centuries-old map to identify a hidden vault under the floor of St. Canice's.
They deciphered the Latin on the hundreds of tombs inside the vault, when they came across Bishop John Kearney's resting place, number 19 on the map, just 20 yards from the main entrance.
Kilkenny's relative proximity to Moneygall --it is about 60 miles would make it a obvious choice for a major address by Obama after Moneygall.
It is also the only known physical family connection.
Moneygall is where his sixth generation ancestor Fulmuth Kearney left from to move to America.
A trip to Northern Ireland has been specifically ruled out according to sources who say that British Prime Minister Cameron would have to be there to greet him and the two men are due to meet in London a day later.
White House sources say they have been swamped with offers for Obama to speak in Ireland but the advance team is only just being put in place now.
Now the exciting prospect of a visit by the 44th president of the United States is on the horizon.

To be sure, sorr, the visit of the prez to the Ole Sod will bring a tear to many's an eye of the long lost diaspora who could not accompany him over. To be sure, it will do no harm to the electoral prospects in the likes of Boston or Noo Yawk. He may even buy that ruined castle where his chieftain ancestors used to reside and even retire there.

Niall - The bishop wouldn't be an ancestor if he was an uncle with any number of "greats" in front. Your ancestor is someone you directly descend from, like one's great-great grandfathers or great-great grandmothers. Anyone else is your distant extended family - family members who were related to your ancestors. Obama doesn't descend from this bishop, so the (uncle) bishop isn't his ancestor - just a brother of his ancestor, making the bishop a very distant family member of Pres. Obama.

Press Releases
July 11, 2011 Social Media Management [DMA11]
There are so many social media marketing outlets today that a whole new industry was bound to spring up to handle them. Social media management is the strategy companies employ to manage multiple social media platforms. Perhaps you've done all the legwork to get your company, product or service on all the proper social media outlets—you've got fans "liking" you on Facebook, the Twitter account is chirping away, LinkedIn has a great looking professional profile and YouTube has a video even Hollywood would be proud to claim. So what is there to manage?
First, you need to make sure the message is consistent across all of your social media accounts. You can't say one thing on Facebook and a different thing on Twitter or your audience might get confused and start to distrust you. Then, if you've done a good job of developing your strategy, you need to manage the sheer volume of responses. On the other hand, if you've done a lousy job of strategizing and nobody is responding, you need to manage that, too, and make adjustments quickly!
If the message is consistent, is it in compliance? Do you know the current marketing best practices across channels? Are you violating any privacy, spam, legal or industry regulations? Even if you're doing everything right, the very social nature of the medium might have outsiders creating havoc for you. It may not be as blatant as putting up an entire fake web site, but even somebody uploading a pornographic photo to your Facebook page or posting a profanity-laced response to your blog could damage the reputation you're working so hard to build.
What are you doing with any responses you might get? You need to remember to keep the social aspect in social marketing. That might mean consumers are expecting a response or reaction from you when they take a certain action. Do you have enough data and a response system in place to personalize and customize a response?
How you choose to manage multiple social media platforms can vary from the simple to the complex. At the very least, one person within the company should be responsible for checking the social media outlets on a regular basis to monitor responses and make updates. The next step might be to assign individuals to each platform—someone to manage the Facebook account, someone to manage the Twitter account, and so on. At the top of this ladder is SMMS—Social Media Management Systems. These include everything from web sites to sophisticated software programs that help manage social media. Over 10,000 attendees will be learning about the latest in social media and integrated marketing at this year's DMA2011 Conference and Exhibition Oct 1-6 in Boston—the global event for real-time marketers. Social media isn't something you can just "do" and walk away from, it's a commitment to be engaged and involved in building a long-term relationship with prospects and customers.

URGENT - Obama-Gun-Laws-Rhetoric
Published 2:47 PM PDT Apr 03, 2013
(CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Wednesday called for an honest debate on new gun laws, saying "we've got to get past some of the rhetoric that gets perpetuated that breaks down trust." "We're not proposing gun registration; we're proposing background checks for criminals," Obama declared in a speech that urged Congress to vote on a package of tougher gun laws in the aftermath of the Newtown, Connecticut, school massacre.
