It was, has, after a trial of nearly two ye.r., .
miserably fa led, with a loss of more than on.
thouund mllllone of treasure and of hnndredi I
of thousands of lives.
This proclamation comes np fully to the
promise of tbe proclamation of September S3,
with the exception of tba exemption or Ten
nessee, which Is as clearly a State In Insurrec
tion as Is Louisiana or Texas. The excep
tion Is doubtless made In deference to the
nnwlse entreaties of Governor Andy Johnson
and bis friends.
In one reelect, the President goes further
than he proposed to do In Septemberi and that
Is, In directing blacks to be received Into mili
tary service, at garrisons, posls, and stations.
This Is a most wfse messnre, as It will enable
our armies to advance with undiminished num
bers, while the duty of gnardlng posts Is per
formed by colored troops. It will also save
our white soldiers from exposure to the pesti
lential airs of certain points which military
necessity requires to be held.
It Is not necessary to say Hist we rejoice over
this proclamation with exceeding Joy.
The President will receive the thanks, not
only of the country, but orthe world andof pos
terity, for Ids courage and wisdom In Issuing It,
The concluding paragraph oMhc proclama
tion deserves to be set. In letters of gold i

Instead of appropriating seven hundred and
fifty millions of dollsrs for tho current support
of the army, an expenditure which will leave
no lasting adtantage behind, and which, from
the cnormoneness or the sum, will be certain
to run Into waste and corruption, let the army
appropriation bill be reduced to moderate di
mensions, and let a portion of what will be
thus saved be applied to permanent works of
military defence.
Can any doubt that the country would gain,
In a military point of view, by cnttlng off twen
ty millions from the army appropriation bill,
and using the money to enlarge the Erie canal
and the Michigan and Illinois canal, lo a ca
pacity sufficient lor the passage of gunboats,
so that we may bare the ssme naval access to
tbe greet lakes which England has through the
Welland canal I Does anybody doubt that the
country would gain by the diversion of three or
four millions from the army, to the opening of
railroad communications for this capital with
deep water on tho Chesapeake, and with the In
terior by t connection with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at the Point or hocks t
The public treasury Is not exhaustlcss, and
even the public credit has limits to It. We
must select, rrom the many objects of expendi

the most advantage, and appropriate the means
of the Government with a view to all tbe calls
which ate made upon It.

the re-election of Mr. Sumner as a Senator of

sents, by tbe sneering remark, thst the sug
gestion of that distinguished gentleman as the
successor of Gov. Seward In the Cabinet, "fajai

It Is quite certain that this suggestion of Mr.
Sumuer't nsme In connection with the premier
ship, did not come rrom his personal friends,
who would unanimously oppose his leaving the
Senate, where his presence and services are In
valuable at this ci Isls. The suggestion did not
come at all from pcrsonsl friends, but from tbe
universal rccognttloaorbls fitness to direct the
diplomatic affairs or the country, a fitness Indi
cated not only by his genersl abilities and cul
ture, but by his special ramlllarlty with tho
currents of opinion in Europe, derived from
travel and correspondence. 1 he same circum
stances which caused him to be placed at the
head of the Senate Committee ou Foreign Af
fairs, directed attention to hlra from all quar
ters, when It was supposed that the cfilee of
Secretary of State would be vacated. The sug
gestion of bis nsme was, In truth, the general
recognition of the eminent suitability of his
appointment. It was not thecaseorthe public
responding favorubly or unfavorably lo the
snggeetlon of personal friends, but It was the
pnblic litelf speaking authoritatively for It; elf.

The Mavericks just announced that they've recalled Nick Fazekas from Tulsa in the D-League. With Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, Deaven George, DeSagana Diop and Maurice Ager, who was sent to Tulsa the other day, all involved in the pending trade for Jason Kidd, this makes the deal look all the more impending.
And really, we already knew that. The teams are in late-stage negotiations, although the final deal might not be done until tomorrow.

Coworking Day
Join us FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20th at Bull City Coworking in Durham. It is fun to be in the same space with other Drupalites!
We have the large conference room reserved.
If you enjoy this event, and like the idea of coworking, you can help Robert and others fostering businesses like this by (1) spreading the word to others who may find such a format helpful, and/or (2) spending a day when we're not there as a group at Bull City Coworking and paying for a day pass. Pay it forward, and keep things like this accessible!Read more
QSA company recommendations to provide PCI compliance auditing services
I'm looking to see if anyone has any recommendations for qualified security assessor companies to perform a PCI audit for a hosting infrastructure and Drupal application. The PCI security council lists 321 such companies so I'd like to narrow it down to a few that folks have had a good experience with so I can get some quotes.
Thanks in advance.

Can you suggest best practice for Main Menu organization?
Our existing website has a pretty clear menu structure:
Tours has a sub-menu of the different tours we offer, plus tour relevant items like Directions, Area Attractions, etc. So in the new site, if the viewer clicks on the Tours option in the menu (rather than clicking on one of the sub-menu items), I would like a page that lists the sub-menu links with a summary.
To do this, I created a view for a tour page that lists the node title and summary, and then used Views PHP module to sort the view by menu weight.Read more
content nodes or views?
When you create content, you also create a page with that content.
Today I added a date field and scheduled it to repeat so that I could use it in a calendar. However, when I look at the content page - it displays all the repeat dates and I only want the start date displayed. I can't seem to find a way to fix this on the content page, but I think I might be able to do it in a view.
Is the page that's created for content the page you're intended to use on the site, or are you supposed to create a view for that content type?
Thanks Guys! Really made some progress today.Read more

random people creating user accounts
So, last week all of a sudden I had a bunch of random people attempt to create accounts in my "non-live" site. When I had to rebuild the site, I'd forgotten to put it in maintenance mode.
But, since there shouldn't be any links out there pointing to this test site, I suspect the attempts at creating accounts are spammish. Is this normal? how best to handle?

Upgrading Drupal 7 core with Drush
OK, my co-working buddies, I've gotten Drush installed. Yay!
Looks like I'll probably use pm-update to update my Drupal core, but when I ran this, I got this message:

more functional Drupal environment to run this command.
Command pm-update needs the following modules installed/enabled to run: update. [error]

Even the two-minute trailer for the new documentary, "Mitt" — to premiere Januuary 24 on Netflix — is packed with the pain, the drama, and the devastation of the GOP presidential candidate's 2012 run.
The documentary, to be shown at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, is by filmmaker Greg Whiteley. It takes viewers on a close-up ride with the former Massachusetts Governor, Mitt Romney, as he becomes the Republican nominee through his Presidential concession speech in 2012.
The trailer offers up the precise and painful moment Romney realizes he'll never win the White House. He talks about how he doesn't want to be seen as loser. And there's plenty more as filmmakers take us through debate preps, family moments — and election night results.
Check it out:
We'll say this: in a week in which President Obama joked to that he wanted Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to bring him advance copies of the next season of "House of Cards," the documentary on Romney looks like one more reason Netflix is becoming a favorite of politics junkies.

Happyheads®— Nontoxic Lice Treatment Shampoo—The safe way to remove head lice. FDA registered, no chemicals, and safe for all ages. 100% effective and SUPER LICE resistant proof.
Happyheads® natural head lice treatment shampoo contains a patented formula of enzymes that breaks down the hard shells of the lice, causing them to perish. Because the biology of insects depends on the creation of enzymes for survival, it is impossible for lice to develop a resistance to the enzymes in our head lice treatment.
Lice have developed immunity to synthetic head lice pesticides, meaning these head lice treatments are not only potentially dangerous, but also they are less effective. Many other head lice treatments and methods rely on suffocating the insects (including home remedies using mayo and olive oil). These are messy, inefficient and sometimes not effective (a louse can "hold its breath" for up to 12 hours).
Other products attempt to disrupt the reproductive systems of the lice, which may impede their ability to produce eggs—but the bugs themselves will remain alive.
Happyheads® Nontoxic Treatment Shampoo KILLS LICE ON CONTACT. Our lice treatment is 100% effective, pH balanced, FDA registered and totally safe! Happyheads® is the best value for your money because you can treat the whole family, and our shampoo for lice works better than any other product on the market!

My Most Romantic Gift
I had been with a very special man for a little over 2 yrs. when he was laid off from his job with no severance package (NOTHING) and it just happened to be before Valentines Day. We were young and didn't have much money anyway so I hadn't expected to receive anything that year. Valentine's morning rolled around and he came over to my house beaming because not having any money forced him to put a lot of thought into the gift he was about to give. I thought it was strange that he was dresses in a ring masters suit but didn't question it. He led me to the backyard where he had set up a plastic punching clown ($2.00 at a Dollar Store)..... a bag of peanuts. cotton candy....balloons, his dog, and several hula-hoops.(to represent the rings) He then began to talk like the ring announcer in that deep voice saying Ladies and Gentleman in ring number one presenting a reenactment of the best day in this man's life." Well needless to say long before he had his dog jumping though the hula-hoop of fire. (not real fire guys) I was crying. See one of our first dates was to go to the Circus. I had so much fun that afternoon and had always told him that it was one of my best first dates ever. To do this day he is still one of my best friends and that was decades ago. I still have the bag that the cotton candy was in to this day in a box with all my special memories of life.
my most romantic gift giving me by my girlfriend it was amazing...romantic gifts
That is one of the most romantic things I ever heard!
Smart boy. That bit of extra thought always goes a long way. It is a lesson we all need to remember.. Thank you FG. Xx

Featuring a small child going through a rite of passage through the Amazon, the adventure video shows how shying away from the things we don't understand and the unknown can actually hinder us. In order to improve ourselves and come out stronger and better as human beings, we must be willing to come to terms with things that may frighten or intimidate us and accept the consequences of our actions.
With his Amulet animation, Tevvon Reynolds sends a universal message to inspire and empower all kids all over the world.

Ubuntu 10.04 Up-to-Date (Kernel 2.6.32-41)
Help if able.
How do I uninstall AMD CCC 11.12 (AMD Display Driver ver 8.92);
I can install the soon to be released AMD CCC 12.7 Video Driver Package ?
Please confirm - Do I need to uninstall the current video driver before installing an upgraded one in place of it;
can I install directly over-top (overwriting) the old driver ??
Note: My Windows experience would suggest that an uninstall (before reinstall) is Necessary !
My current AMD Display Driver was installed by directly downloading it from:
to the Desktop and executing the Install routine (No Package Manager and No Terminal Command Lines were used). This was done following a Hardware Upgrade to the XFX Radeon HD 6870 2GB Video Card.
I have read all the Tech-Know-How of uninstalling the AMD proprietary "fglrx";
I am NOT using fgrlx !
So again, how do I (if necessary) uninstall AMD CCC 11.12 (AMD Display Driver ver 8.92) ?
Many Thanks in Advance !
Johnny M!

6 jurors seated for trial in crash
Brian Hoffman charged with homicide, DWI in crash that killed friend
Published 10:12 pm, Monday, March 24, 2014
Six jurors were picked Monday for the homicide trial of a Stephentown man accused of an alcohol-related crash that killed his best friend in 2012.
Jury selection in the case against Brendan Hoffman, 21, will resume Tuesday morning. Six more jurors and likely three alternates will still be needed before the trial, expected to take two weeks, can begin, officials said.
Hoffman was indicted in November on three counts each of aggravated vehicular homicide, first-degree vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol, and leaving the scene of a personal injury automobile accident.
He was charged in connection with the June 28, 2012, crash on Cranston Road that killed Christopher Baker. Baker was thrown from the vehicle and landed about 100 feet away in a ditch.
It was the second indictment in the case. A previous indictment was rejected by Rensselaer County Judge Debra Young because an accident-reconstruction investigator who testified in front of the grand jury made errors in calculations, overestimating the speed Hoffman's 2000 Dodge Neon was moving when it flipped.
The second grand jury added the charges of reckless driving and second-degree manslaughter because Hoffman allegedly acted recklessly and reportedly was swerving and almost hit another car before the crash.
He also was charged with operating a motor vehicle in violation of a conditional license because of a previous DWI conviction.
The crash occurred at 1 a.m., but Baker's body was not found until 5 a.m. For those four hours, investigators did not know it was a fatal crash. They towed the car and left the scene without doing a complete forensic review.
Hoffman was taken by private car to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Mass., where, hours later, he told his father that Baker had been with him.
Police returned to the scene and used a thermal imaging device to locate Baker's body, according to court documents.
Hoffman's attorney, Peter Moschetti, has claimed Baker was driving when the crash occurred.
Hoffman has been free on $20,000 bail.

From the IAM Blog over the weekend:
Acacia Research has announced it is to make five million of its shares available in a public offering designed to raise cash "for its operations and for other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, working capital, strategic acquisitions and other transactions". The move comes as its market capitalisation has soared to over $1.2 billion.
Joff also offers some other, incredible data, including Acacia's growth from a $90 M market cap to a $1.2 Billion market cap in less than three years! It appears that Wall Street is paying attention to Acacia, and while it may take a hit if it runs into a string of consecutive courtroom battles, it is, thus far, faring quite well in the war.
But is this necessarily good news for RPX, as Joff also suggests? In one respect, of course it is. Acacia's success may have a "rising tide" effect that RPX can benefit from. On that same note, I never said they wouldn't be successful. I've only said that, after studying the financials, investor's shouldn't falling all over themselves to snatch up RPX at its IPO. In fact, I've further maintained that RPX can, itself, be financially successful, so long as its "members" are comfortable wearing a patent litigation bulls-eye over their chests.
As an aside, since writing about RPX's "goldilocks" conundrum and receiving feedback from a reader about the RPX magnifying patent litigation problems for its clients, I've heard from NPEs that it's already common to monitor RPX memberships to specifically watch for opportune times to strike RPX clients.
That said, I still maintain that Acacia's success does not necessarily make RPX more financially stable. Investment in patent licensing entities is extremely volatile, and only a very small number of firms have been able to successfully and steadily demonstrate profitable, long-term growth by risking capital in enforceable patents. Meanwhile, RPX is yet another step removed from assertion entities.
While RPX does own thousands of patents, it has bound itself not to assert these against many large enterprises. Further, by many accounts the pendulum of patent enforcement policy appears to continue to shift in favor of defendants, as legal doctrines and statutory changes are expected to make patent ownership and assertion more expensive, making defending against patent litigation easier. During these "darker" times, patents in a general sense will start to be perceived as less of a business risk, reducing the need for RPX and other "risk management" solutions to patent licensing.
Meanwhile, firm's like Acacia hold enforceable patents that can still represent specific risks, and while companies may fight more frequently, most will likely continue to settle more often than not because Acacia can set pricing to reflect a reasonable compromise. Their overall profit margins may suffer, but their business is likely scalable enough to continue to profit even in a down-turn. RPX, on the other hand, without legitimately enforceable patents (by agreement) has very little leverage unless the aggregate risk remains high.
The solution for RPX may lie in targeting specific patents in litigation, and negotiating purchases that lets them insulate current clients and pick up new ones. Again, as I've already pointed out, RPX has little incentive to do this unless it can force renewals or add new members, so if you just signed up with RPX, you're basically relying on dumb luck to protect you. Further, this strategy does nothing to support their claim to "significantly reduce patent assertions directed at our client network," nor does it match their proposed strategy of buying patents before they end up with NPEs.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) July 12, 2014
Baseball is a popular game all over the world, but bad weather can ruin the plans of even the hardiest players. An inventor from Hamden, Conn., has created a prototype of an alternative to this popular sport when the outdoors are off-limits. "On a trip with the Boy Scouts, I needed to find a way to have fun during bad weather that kept us indoors," he said. "That's when I thought of PLAY BALL."
This game provides baseball-themed fun while indoors or on trips. It ensures entertainment during inclement weather, as well as challenges players to compete in a friendly manner. The game is producible in different versions and suitable for both children and adults.
The original design was submitted to the Connecticut office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-CTO-291, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

The first, a "Season to Remember" cap featuring Sosa's autograph and the tag, "1998 Season to Remember" embroidered on the front, will be available for retail delivery tomorrow and will be featured at Wrigley Field on Sunday during "Sammy Sosa Day." The second will be a "Home Run Commemorative" cap featuring Sosa's autograph and final '98 HR total. The third product will be a Sosa "Collector's Addition" cap, which will be available during Spring Training '99. Sports Specialties will also incorporate Sosa into its '99 "6-4-3" cap marketing plan, which will include national marketing (Sports Specialties). SECOND-HAND SAMMY? Hartford Courant Sports Editor Jeff Otterbein, on the media's handling of Sosa's record run: "Some people think Sammy has gotten short shrift, and to a degree I think he did. I think he caught a lot of people off guard, including [MLB]." N.Y. Times Sports Editor Neil Amdur: "We ran a Sosa picture inside [the sports section] because we could not (change) color that late at night. The Mets were the bigger display, but Sosa still led the section" (HARTFORD COURANT, 9/18). An NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll showed that 82% of those surveyed said that they were "satisfied with media coverage" of the home run race. Sosa was profiled last night on the final segment of "NBC Nightly News," as Tom Brokaw said Sosa was "already in the record books as a Hall of Fame good guy." NBC's Jim Avila: "In Chicago, Sosa is second only to Michael Jordan ... with a personality that transcends color" (NBC, 9/17). On "Good Morning America," ABC's Jon Frankel profiled how the McGwire-Sosa HR race is creating a "welcome" diversion from "a lot of depressing headlines." Frankel: "In a summer in which stock market slides and presidential errors have dominated the news, baseball has been the one story everybody is happy to read about" (ABC, 9/19).

Typically, there are on-chip buses likeAMBA or PLB that contain dozens of internal devices (interruptcontroller, serial, dmaengine, rtc, timer, watchdog, ...) as wellas buses (i2c, spi, mmc, usb, pci, ...) that have off-chip childdevices. You can think of an soc device as a kind of über-MFDthat holds all of these together.If you remember the early discussions about this patch set, Ispecifically asked for making the soc_device be a representationof the whole soc with a hierarchical view of its child devicesunder it, as opposed to having an artificial device node that onlyserves to export strings along the lines of /proc/cpuinfo.See patch 5/6 for the one that moves all platform devices thatare part of the dbx500 soc below the soc_device.

The economic agenda for Republicans for the rest of the Obama presidency should be blocking bad policy and sketching out an alternative for the future, says Stephen Moore, the Heritage Foundation's new chief economist.
Moore, previously a member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board, started at the influential conservative think tank on Wednesday (he said he will keep writing columns for the Journal). From that perch, the 53-year-old supply-sider thinks his role is to help Republicans foster economic growth. For now, that means limiting the damage that he sees President Obama's policies doing to the country.
The GOP is actually doing a good job on that score, says Moore, citing the 2011 debt ceiling deal that led to the broad-based sequester cuts as an example of the party's success in limiting spending. But his hopes for working with the president are low.
"I don't see Obama moving at all in our direction on anything," Moore told the Washington Examiner. "So we could get two to three more years of policy gridlock, but I'd argue that's not too bad. Given that we just re-elected Woodrow Wilson, that's not too bad."
Republicans instead should work on articulating how they want to replace Obamacare and get to 4 percent economic growth, Moore said. He criticized the GOP for being too focused on deficits, noting that faster growth means more tax revenue and consequently lower deficits.
As for how to get back to growth, Moore's prescription includes a flat tax, replacing Obamacare with a "pro-choice, pro-market" system and general deregulation.
Another part of the mix is "sound money," according to Moore, who is critical of the Federal Reserve's "herky-jerky" efforts to ease monetary conditions. The Fed's stimulus programs undermine economic stability, he said.
"Maybe Janet Yellen can do it," said Moore of the incoming Fed chairwoman, "but I'm skeptical that we unwind and taper away from this in a way that doesn't spike prices." Moore said he would be happy if inflation stayed in the range of 1-3 percent, but is skeptical the Fed will be able to manage leaving its easing programs smoothly.
As for other projects, Moore says he is working on a book about the "new economic war" between red states and blue states over taxes, labor unions and other issues. Currently, according to Moore, "red states are doing Reaganomics and the blue states are doing Obamanomics."
