We have proof that Toronto Police are doing immigration's dirty work. You can help stop them.
JOIN US on December 17th at Toronto Police Headquarters.
We have evidence that Toronto Police calls Canada Border Services Agency 100 times per week, that is more than police forces in Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa combined.
Four out of the five times these calls are made for people without an immigration warrant!
That means that Toronto Police look at witnesses or victims of crime, or just every days residents that they stop and quiz for no reason, and based on the colour of their skin, and their accent, call Border Services to see if that person has immigration status or not.
This is racist policing at it's worst. And it must stop.

It is with a collective heavy heart that US Dataworks, Inc. (OTC PinkSheets: UDWK), a leader in payment processing solutions, today announced the passing of its long-time Chairman and CEO, Charles E. Ramey, who died yesterday morning after suffering a severe heart attack from which he was unable to recover.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has appointed John Penrod as its interim Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Penrod will continue in his role as the Company's VP of Operations in addition to his new CEO duties. Joseph Saporito, an outside director of the Company, will take over the Chairman role with the Board seat left vacant by Mr. Ramey's death to remain unfilled for the time being.
Mr. Saporito commented "Chuck was an outstanding leader who worked tirelessly for the benefit of all stakeholders of the Company. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chuck's family during this difficult time." Mr. Saporito added, "While we grieve for our loss, both professional and personal, the Board and the management team remain focused on the day-to-day tasks at hand and on continuing to execute on our long term business plan.

Board of Regents
Alex Capdeville, Chancellor
July11, 2001
Campus Reports for the July 2001 Board of Regents Meeting
§ Planning Process - The institutional-wide planning process continues at MSU-Northern. A Strategic Planning Committee and an Educational Master Plan Committee have been organized, and the committee members will spend the summer gathering information for the structured planning process that will take up most of fall semester. Marcy Drummond, the consultant from Critical Data who has been assigned to the MSU-Northern project, spent two days on campus in late May working with the two committees and helping the members understand the planning process. The orientation session, for all members of the campus community in late August, will emphasize planning, and several meetings with Ms. Drummond will be scheduled during that "welcome back."
§ Summer School - Summer school enrollments are good. After several years of a modest decline, especially after conversion to the semester system, summer school enrollments increased last year on the MSU-Northern campus, reaching 371 FTE. The numbers are even better this year. At the time of this report, enrollments had reached 425 FTE. Of course this may fluctuate some by the end of summer, but we are very optimistic.
§ MAT - The Montana Actors Theater, a successful community theater group in Havre, has taken up residency on the MSU-Northern campus. MAT presents 5 - 6 productions during the year, including dinner theaters, a children's play and a camp for high school students. Its production of "Hamlet" a year ago filled the 700-seat high school gymnasium for eight performances. Earlier this year, MSU-Northern approached MAT about moving to the campus and taking over the institution's theater facility. The group has also agreed to work with Northern on the development of theater practicums for Northern's students.
§ Indian Education Grant - Approximately 50 Native American education students are spending the summer on the MSU-Northern campus. As part of the Indian Education Grant partnership with Northern, students from Fort Peck College, Fort Belknap College, Stone Child College and Blackfeet College are completing their "semester in residency" on the Havre campus. Most of the coursework for the Indian Education Grant is offered in an alternative format, including distance delivery techniques and compressed weekend sessions. All of the partners agreed that the Native American students should spend time on the MSU-Northern campus in a traditional classroom setting, however, and summer seemed the best time to do that. Several students in the program will student-teach in the fall, and the first graduates are expected in January 2002.
§ NCATE - MSU-Northern continues to work on NCATE accreditation for its education programs. The formal visit for that important process is scheduled for Spring 2002. As part of the preparation for that visit, the College of Education and its faculty had to prepare a "conceptual framework," the core philosophy that guides all of the coursework and activities of the education program. That conceptual framework has to be approved by NCATE before the formal campus visit is scheduled. NCATE was so impressed with MSU-Northern's "conceptual framework" that it has referred other institutions throughout the United States to the College of Education for guidance and assistance. NCATE has also asked MSU-Northern to at least consider the possibility of "posting" its conceptual framework on the NCATE web page.
§ ATC Building – Alex recently went to Washington DC to meet with our congressional delegation regarding the proposed Applied Technology Building on the MSU Northern campus. He has also met with General Electric and other major corporations about raising funds for the building and we are optimistic about their willingness to help.
§ Toyota T-Ten trip – Alex and a member of the automotive faculty attended a Toyota T-Ten conference in Torrence, California. Toyota and Northern have a long relationship together and are continuing to work hard to build a stronger link between education and industry in the automotive field.
§ New Appointments at MSU-Northern –
· Chuck Jensen – Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration/Student Affairs.
· Rob Harrison - Director of Facilities Services.
· Cynthia Harrison – Director of Library

Tourists and dental vacationers visiting Cancun will discover this well-known Mexican resort has a lot more to offer than just its idyllic beaches and crystal oceans. In a little under 40 years Cancun has been transformed from a barely-inhabited fisherman's island to a sophisticated and modern world-class holiday destination.
For those who need to re-charge their batteries by doing absolutely nothing the miles of sandy white beaches, fringed with palms and lapped by gentle azure-colored waters are sure to do the trick. However, there are endless other activities to pursue, including snorkeling, diving and exploring Mayan culture. With many small islands, ancient ruins and underground rivers to stumble across a whole world is there to discover. Ecotourism is a popular concept here, as despite the enormous boom in tourism residents are keen to maintain the beauty of the land and ecosystems surrounding it.
Cancun, with all its natural wonders, still has all the other amenities to satisfy modern vacationers, including impressive hotels, inspiring restaurants, sophisticated bars and stylish clubs, along with glitzy shopping malls and chic boutiques.
It has a well-deserved reputation for hospitality with many patients now also discovering Cancun's dentists offer them much more than just affordable dentistry. Working with dentists from all over the globe, Dental Departures will guide you in finding the best dentist in Cancun, for the best price.
Cancun is located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, on the north-east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. One of the eastern-most points in Mexico, it is just north of the Riviera Maya – Mexico's Caribbean coast.
Cancun undoubtedly has some incredible scenery and some particularly stunning beaches and vistas. Where else in the world could you be sitting in a dentist chair with a view to rival the Nichupte Lagoon?
The dental clinics here are modern and safe with hygienic and state-of-the-art facilities to rival any clinic in North America. Similarly, dentists in Cancun are highly trained with specialist knowledge in their particular areas of expertise.
To meet the demands of patients traveling overseas for their dental treatment, clinics are extremely competitive, which ensures dental treatment here is generally of a high standard. Working with dentists on a global basis, we make sure our dentists are the best. Our patients can be confident all the clinics listed on the Dental Departures website meet our quality criteria and provide you with a superior service for a reasonable price.
Cancun is relatively convenient to travel to for North Americans. With shortest flying times around 3 hours from the southern states, multiple visits are a realistic option if you need them. Even with accommodation and flight costs included the costs of most dental treatments in Cancun will still be less than the cost at home. However, for extensive dental work the savings really can be huge, saving you thousands and thousands, even with the cost of a holiday included.
Procedure: Cost in the US: Cost in Cancun
Crowns $1,200 $370
Dentures $1,800 $385
Dental Implants $3,900 $1,350
As a renowned tourist resort there are, of course, masses of accommodation options in Cancun to suit all budgets and tastes. From self-catering beach-front villas and condos to a full range of hotels you will have no problem finding the perfect place to stay.
Yes. There are plenty of places in Mexico that are safe and the recent US travel advisory has issued no advisory for the whole of the Yucatan Peninsula. This includes the states of Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Campeche, and so major tourist destinations in this area such as Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Tulum and Chichen Itza are all perfectly safe to travel to.
Yes – providing you choose your dentist with care – just you would at home. This is where Dental Departures can help you. Doing background checks on prospective dentists is time consuming, which is why you will be one step ahead if you book an appointment with any of our dentists. We have already performed extensive background checks on, for example, dentist qualifications and hygiene protocols, so you can be certain your dentist is qualified and the clinic adheres to internationally-recognized safety procedures.
We also provide real patient reviews, allowing you to gain an insight into other people's experiences. All these measures are designed to help you decide with confidence which dental clinic to book an appointment with.
Yes - all of our dental clinics have warranties on both the procedures they perform and on any materials they use.
Furthermore, our stringent quality checks have made sure our patients rarely experience anything untoward (less than 0.1%). Unfortunately, even with the best of efforts, sometimes things do go wrong. In these instances, once we have been informed of a problem, Dental Departures will make sure that it is put right. We want our patients to be completely satisfied with every aspect of their service with Dental Departures, and we will advocate on our patient's behalf to make sure they are.
No. Most Mexicans working in the tourism industry speak English, as well as other European languages such as German, French and Italian. Although the official language spoken in Cancun is Spanish, the first language spoken by many local indigenous people is Mayan, with Spanish second.
You will easily get by without Spanish or Mayan, but if you can manage the odd word or two in either it is usually much appreciated.
US cash is the preferred payment method accepted by most dental offices, although other methods of payment are now being accepted more and more. You will need to check with each clinic as to whether they accept personal checks, traveler's checks or debit/credit cards if you would prefer to pay by on of these methods. Please note that a small processing fee of around 3-4% is usually charged on credit card payments.
Although dental clinics in Cancun will not be able to bill your insurance company directly, you may be able to claim for your treatment costs once you have returned home. You will need to contact your insurance provider before you book your appointment to ask them if they will reimburse you for out-of-network care. If they do, ask them to provide you with the forms or documents to take with you for completion by your overseas dentist.

Cancun's tropical climate makes it good to visit at any time of year as temperatures average 80F all year round. There are few temperature variations between seasons, but there are two pronounced rainy seasons – May through June and October through December. The rainy seasons do not mean it rains non-stop. It doesn't. It just means there may be some rain, on some days.
It is hottest from June to September, but even then with the sea breezes temperatures don't usually go above 95F.
Mexico generally has a way to go before access for people with disabilities is easier, but in some areas there is progress. The Hotel Zone has had new sidewalks throughout, and while these are smooth, ramps have only been included in some areas. Downtown is not good, with broken paving a big problem. Some shopping malls, including Plaza La Isla and Plaza Las Americanas are reasonably good malls for wheelchair users with elevators, level walkways and ramps. Some hotels have good wheelchair access, but some don't.
Taxi drivers are generally very helpful for getting around and some of our clinics provide pick-up services from your hotel to your dental appointment. Ask us if you have any questions or concerns about accessibility. We will do our best to help you get seen by one of our great dentists.
Timeshare sales representatives will try to get you to a presentation with free offers or discounts. Unless you don't mind spending a couple of hours on a hard sell, move on from the salesmen with a firm but polite 'no, gracias' as quickly as you can.
Ocean currents, depending on the season you visit, may be strong. Check the colored flags planted on the beach. Lifeguards are only found within beaches at the hotels so make sure you stick to the hotel beaches if you are not a strong swimmer.
General Anesthetic or full sedation is not offered as standard in Mexico as it is in the US and Canada. Some clinics do offer full sedation, but it will need to be requested before your visit as a licensed anesthesiologist will need to be available to administer it. This service costs around $400-$600. For patients who suffer with anxiety and who require sedative medication, such as Valium, this will also need to be requested in advance of your visit.
Dental patients will be pleased to know that Cancun offers activities to suit all interests and abilities. While it is one of the ultimate places to relax, for the energetic there are also plenty of things to do.
Mexico has embraced golf's popularity and Cancun now has some new developments that rival the Caribbean's finest golfing destinations. All of Cancun's golf courses are open to the public. Look out for special discounts for hotel guests or other offers for playing after 2pm, for example.
Surrounded by so much water, it is not surprising that water features heavily in a lot of activities – from sedate trips in a glass-bottomed boat to jungle tours on an exhilarating jet-ski or speedboat. Diving, whether beginner or advanced, is very popular due to the coral reefs just off the coast here and in nearby Cozumel. For experienced divers cave-diving in the sinkholes (cenotes) of the Yucatan peninsula or the Cave of Sharks (Cuevas de los Tiburones) is something not to be missed.
For culture vultures there is much to see in and around Cancun, including museums, galleries and Mayan sites such as El Ray, in the Hotel Zone in Cancun. Slightly further afield scattered throughout the Yucatan peninsula are other archaeological sites, including Chichen Itza.
For night owls, Cancun has an extraordinary nightlife. Sophisticated hotel bars and restaurants serve cocktails and live music. There are plenty of other bars, clubs and discos catering for all musical tastes open throughout the night until dawn.
It goes without saying there is great shopping in Cancun. For Mexican crafts La Casa del Arte Popular Mexicano is a good place to start as is Mercado Coral Negro, an open air-venue next to the Forum By The Sea shopping mall. Although there are several shopping malls in Cancun, this is the only one located on the ocean.
The nearest airport is Cancun International Airport (CUN) and it receives daily flights from around the world, including the US and Canada.
Phone us for free, e-mail us, talk via our online chat or book your appointment online. Dental Departures enables you to choose a dentist, compare prices, read patient reviews, view maps and check-out clinic photos. We offer exclusive discounts, guaranteeing you the best prices for your dental care. Book with us for your quality-checked dentist in Cancun.

Part 2 – After the Purchase
You often hear that mortgage payments are the same as rental payments. Not exactly.
A close friend of mine learned this lesson the hard way. Yes, she was able to experience a mortgage payment that was about $20 higher than her rent, but she was not prepared for the extra monthly fees that came with home ownership.
Once you own a house, there are additional monthly costs that you should think about.
• Utilities
- Includes water, gas, and electric. The monthly costs for these items will vary depending on such things such as the size of your home, and usage
• Homeowner's Insurance
• Property Taxes
• Maintenance
- 1% of the homes purchase price should be budgeted yearly for maintenance on the home and any repairs that may be needed. Divide your maintenance amount by 12 and put aside that amount on a monthly basis.
Do not be afraid to ask your family and friends about their experiences with home ownerships. Did they find out some things that they wished they had known before they entered the transaction? Ask them to share it with you. Do research on the internet, or go to workshops. Knowledge is power. Be prepared so that home ownership is as exciting and empowering as it should be.

radial arm saw
The radial arm saw can be used for cutting materials to length and for cutting mitered, beveled, and compound angles. Although it is first and foremost a woodworking machine, it can also be used to cut metals, such as angle iron or aluminum extrusions. Radial arm saws are capable of ripping and cross cutting as well as miter, dado, and rabbet cuts.
Before the radial arm saw was invented, the task of crosscutting lumber was often carried out by table saws and hand saws. Table saws can easily rip stock, but pushing a long piece of stock widthwise through a table saw blade is much harder. In contrast, when a radial arm saw is used for crosscutting, the workpiece remains stationary on the saw's table, and the blade is drawn through the wood. For ripping, the blade is fixed at a 90-degree angle parallel to the rear fence, and the stock is passed through the saw sideways, either right-to-left or left-to-right. This enables much greater lengths of stock to be cut.
For cutting angles, the saw is tilted to the desired angle using a protractor on the saw housing and held in place using the bevel lock. For mitering the saw is swivelled right or left. The blade can also be raised or lowered using a crank.
The size of a radial arm saw is determined by the diameter of its blade. Home improvement stores typically carry models that have 8-inch (20.3 cm) to 12-inch (30.5 cm) blades. The most popular size is 10 inches (25.4 cm), which will cut stock up to three inches thick. Larger models are usually found in industrial settings. Attachments available for radial arm saws include rotary planers and sanding and buffing wheels.
The radial arm saw can be less safe when used by an inexperienced or untrained operator, but is not dangerous when used properly. In the hands of an experienced operator, the radial arm saw can, for example, safely cut compound miters for picture and door frames, rip lumber precisely to width, and cut tongues and grooves. Most cuts are followed with a fit and require more material be removed, sometimes a tiny amount.
The versatility of a radial arm saw makes it an ideal tool for most home improvement projects such as trim, molding, and door casings. For doing crosscuts and miter cuts, some woodworkers prefer a compound miter saw. However, the radial arm saw is capable of a greater repertoire of cuts, including rip cuts and a variety of complex cuts.

The latest edition of DefExpo is back in Delhi next week and we've put together a guide to the show for those planning to attend. So here's what to expect, generally speaking:
Utter chaos at the entrance during opening hours
If the experience of past editions of DefExpo is anything to go by, get ready for a fight to get into the show. There will be a single baggage scan and too few turnstiles for entry into the venue. This, of course, does not apply to VIPs, who will have a separate entrance. Just because Delhi has an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government doesn't mean anything's changed.
Lots of uniforms
Unsurprisingly, the brass will be present in strength. This will include not only personnel from the Indian armed forces, paramilitary and police forces, but also foreign defense attaches. So if you get bored (inevitable after a point), try counting uniforms and identifying affiliations.
Puzzled reporters
There will be a lot of reporters assigned to cover the show, taking some time off from their regular Jal Board beat, trying to figure out what a piece of technology does, while automatically assuming 'India's buying this, right'. This also goes for those defense beat reporters who should be covering the Jal Board.
Stressed PR types
PR executives stressed over trying to get media to show up to client briefings, exasperated over reporters like those mentioned previously 'not getting it', and worrying about what's going on with their clients at the other show in Greater Noida, the Auto Expo.
Expect to see a lot of suited-booted types with no direct connection to either the government's arms procurement machinery or defense industry, trying to see if they can (pretty girl in tow) 'help' companies conclude deals, with their 'consultancy' services.
These include former bureaucrats, defense personnel and wannabes with tenuous political connections. Some will offer information on discussions at meetings taking place at the show, 'for a small fee'. We understand that 'Help with offsets' is the latest thing, even though there are only seven people in Delhi who understand the concept.
Free advice (especially to foreign reps with no idea how India works): You may as well buy an expensive camera from a man on a scooter at a bus stop in Delhi. That was sarcasm. At any rate, Google the tout's name before doing business with him. Much heartburn could have been avoided if certain foreign company reps had done as much.
Not Abhishek Verma…
Still in jail.
…Or blacklisted defense industry executives
We're also unlikely to see executives from blacklisted companies or those under threat of blacklist, pending investigation. But, it could happen.
As mentioned before, there will be a separate VIP entrance (of course). And as they say, if you build it, they will come. Note: In the Indian context, V = f(Very), where the value of (Very) can go up to five. For instance, in the AgustaWestland procurement, V = 3.
Russians and Israelis
Expect a large representation from the top two defense suppliers to India. The Russian and Israeli pavilions are, typically, the largest with a wide spectrum of products on display. Their executives will typically be sullen and reticent, with their slightly embarrassed PR reps trying to get them to open up without coming across as offensive.
No deals of substance
Unfortunately for the consultants mentioned above, things aren't going to be easy for them, with the defense ministry under AK Antony having taken a hard line against reports of shenanigans. Antony has even ordered the seizure of bank guarantees in a couple of cases in the the last year or so. This has never actually happened before.
Whoda thunk it?
So defense ministry mandarins have been treading very slowly and carefully and are in no hurry to sign off on anything, lest they end up in a minefield with no one to hold their hand. Understandably, the armed forces are not happy about this.
Smaller show
Unlike previous editions of DefExpo, this year the show is likely to be smaller in participation. This could be partly due to the fact that the defense ministry has barred 27 companies from attending the show, either because they, or associated companies, have been blacklisted or are under consideration for placement on the blacklist.
But more generally, the perceived reluctance of a government in its last couple of months to conclude any procurement programs of substance has led to a sense of disinterest in industry to spend money on a presence at a show unlikely to achieve anything.
Another factor could be that if the show were longer, it might have clashed with the Singapore Airshow, which begins February 11.
Private bars inside stalls
Observe carefully. Especially at the stalls from European countries. Ostensibly for VIPs, but stall managers stop waiting, come lunchtime.
Bored booth babes with no idea what they're selling
You'll have no trouble spotting these ladies, most of whom are freelance models. No surprise then, that they haven't a clue what it is the company they're fronting, sells. If you ask them a question, they might occasinally stop texting on their phone and say, "That person's not here. Leave your card and we'll get back to you (picture evil grin, a la Dr. Rajesh Koothrapali)."
Lots and lots of awesome stuff you don't see except in the movies
This is true. How often do you get to lift up a MANPADS on your shoulder from the counter of a stall, and pose for pictures, just before you sag under the weight? Or sit inside a fighter aircraft flight simulator? Or check out cutaway models of the latest submarine and warship designs?
And hopefully, some surprising Indian startups
The rare, but best part of DefExpo. When, hopefully, some gutsy youngsters put up a stall and present innovative technologies cooked up with code, Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Maybe throw in some balsa and control surfaces.
Utter chaos at the exits during closing hours
Expect a traffic jam on Mathura Road in front of the venue, Pragati Maidan, at closing time when chauffeur-driven cars will cause a gridlock, trying to pick up people who couldn't be bothered to take the shuttle to the parking lot.

The remains were discovered after a search warrant was executed at the home of the child's mother, Heather Kowalczik and her husband, Robert Rodriguez.
Police initiated the search after an Amber Alert was issued Friday for the couple's son, 9-year old Robert Rodriguez, Jr.
The boy was found and is okay.
However, the focus of the investigation then turned to the couple's home on Hallock Street in Farmingdale.
Police confirmed that they were investigating the possible murder of a child who would now be 3-years old, and that the suspect is Robert Rodriguez, the father of the 9-year-old.
Investigators say the 3-year-old had not been seen in at least a year. That is about how long the family has lived in the home, according to the landlord.
According to neighborhood residents, a family of four lived there, including Robert Rodriguez, Sr., two children and his wife. Eyewitness News' camera spotted Rodriguez's wife in the front seat of a police vehicle leaving the scene.
When neighborhood resident Meade Jackson was asked how she would describe the Rodriguez', she said that they were a nice family.
Investigators tell Eyewitness News that the investigation began after a tip from state police in Middletown, New York.
Authorities say the family never reported the child's death.
Investigators are still trying to determine how the child died, and why the family kept it a secret.

VW accused of 'PR spin' as recall tally spirals
The number of Volkswagen Group vehicles recalled here has spiralled by another 9,000 - bringing the final total to nearly 116,000.
It had previously been announced that around 107,000 were affected. But the larger figure of 115,917 was included in an outline statement to a Dáil committee yesterday.
A spokesman later confirmed to the Irish Independent that the new total includes a significant number of additional imports as well as some older cars.
And Volkswagen Ireland's boss was left in no doubt about the fear and indignation of those 115,917 customers in the course of a grilling by committee members into the 'cheat device' scandal.
Time and again Lars Himmer was told how betrayed long-standing and loyal customers are feeling - and how fearful they are over the resale values of their cars.
But Fianna Fáil's Timmy Dooley described his statements as "butt-covering" exercises and smacking of "textbook PR spin".
Mr Himmer apologised profusely at the Dáil's Joint Committee on Transport and Communications for the breach of trust. And he promised no stone would be unturned in putting things right.
But it cut little ice with members who were reflecting the worries of those who own the cars, vans and imports about to be recalled for remedial work in the new year.
He did confirm that the recalled cars would have changes made to their software and, in many cases, would have their injectors replaced. He said they were doing everything to ensure there would be no change in fuel consumption or performance.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the scandal, Mr Himmer said: "I would like to express my sincere apologies that our group has significantly let down our customers, our staff, our dealers and the wider public."
He added: "As a group, we accept that we mishandled these tests and we will fix this at our expense and in a way that minimises any disruption to our customers or other stakeholders."
Repeatedly asked about fears over the resale values of cars affected, he said they would "address" the issue and would work "very hard to fix it".
And answering queries about finding the culprits involved in the scam, he said: "The sooner we know the who and what the better. We really want to find the right people." He said investigations were continuing but he didn't have any "insights".

Grapefruit and High Blood Pressure – More Than Just A Fruit!
Do you like grapefruit? Well, if you answered yes to that question and you have high blood pressure, than I have some good news for you. Grapefruits are one of several fruits, including bananas, melons, oranges, tomatoes, and prunes that contain high amounts of potassium, which has been proven to lower blood pressure.
Research has shown that consuming 2-3 grams of potassium a day can lower both your systolic pressure (aka the first number in a blood pressure reading) and diastolic pressure (aka the second number) by at least two points. This may not seem like much, but studies have shown that even a drop that small can reduce heart disease by six percent, and strokes by 14 percent.
Click here and discover how you can lower your blood pressure naturally.
In addition, grapefruits contain pectin, which is a fiber that also helps lower blood pressure, and also contain certain other compounds that help reduce artery hardening.
However, (and this is a big however) consuming grapefruit while taking certain blood pressure medications can cause problems. This is because grapefruits and grapefruit juice contain certain compounds that inhibit an enzyme found in the small intestine that breaks down and absorbs medications.
With the enzyme inhibited, this means that higher levels of the medication get into the blood, which can cause problems, as these higher levels can be toxic and can cause organ damage. The effects of this enzyme-inhibition can last for more than twenty-four hours after consuming grapefruit as well.
The following general types of medication are affected by drinking or eating grapefruit products: statins, antihistamines, calcium channel blockers, psychiatric medications, intestinal medications, immune suppressants, pain medications, impotence medications, anti-HIV medications, and antiarrhythmics. Of all the blood pressure medication categories, the one most affected by grapefruits are calcium channel-blockers.
Not every drug that fits in one of these categories is affected by grapefruits though, and I strongly recommend that you talk to your doctor to see if what you're taking will be affected if you decide to have a grapefruit half or drink a glass of grapefruit juice with your breakfast.
Keep in mind though that even if you can't have grapefruit, there are still other fruits that also have a lot of potassium, none of which have the same effect as grapefruit, and you could also take potassium supplements instead as well (it's not recommended that you take both together though).
There's evidence that shows that people who have diets high in potassium are less likely to have high blood pressure than those who don't, so if you're at risk of developing high blood pressure, or if you already have it, adding some potassium-rich foods to your diet will certainly benefit you in the years to come.
Discover how you can lower your blood pressure to 110/80, using natural remedies with NO side-effects. It's proven, effective and safe. Click here for more information.
is this for real we have graperfruit every morning the dole containers we buy at costco and my husband is on a beta blocker enalapril 10/25 he takes this with his other meds in the am. this would we hearbreaking as we just love this fruit nyself i take nothing at all
I really don't see why half of a grapefruit would do any harm. What do all of you out there think?
You want to eat grapefruit while on blood pressure medication in spite of the medical evidence and risk organ damage?
Well in the least you know the risk you are taking…..
I have been diagnosed with both high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Over the course of a year, I have been on several medications which did not seem to help much and the side effects were not pleasant.
At one point, even on the meds, my bp went all the way up to 225/150 and I was then prescribed another drug which made it drop really fast, but I kept passing out and it felt like my brain was being eaten.
Despite the warnings of not drinking grapefruit juice or having the fruit, I decided to give it a try. At first I took it along with my meds and I didn't see very much improvement. Then I stopped taking the one for my bp and my readings have been consistently normal for over 3 weeks even though I still drink coffee and went back to my usual salt intake. I don't know about my cholesterol yet as I don't see the doctor again for 3 months, but I have not felt any ill effects of taking Simvistatin with grapefruit juice everyday.
I'm not recommending people do this experiment. I'm just stating my own experience. I was desperate and felt like more harm was being done to me by medication than good. Supposedly the mixture of statins with the fruit can cause organ damage, but much like everything else I think it depends on your personal body chemistry, weight, height, age… Even so, if I had to take those meds for life it wouldn't be a good thing for me.
Is it safe to drink grapefruit juice with Avapro (high blood pressure)?
OMG, I had no idea. I already have low blood presure. And this fruit is about the one helping me out with a sore throat.
I had heard this from a co worker, but reading the article sheds more information to me. Judi, if you are still alive, why would you go back to your original salt intake? I could chug grapefruit juice, but I figure my health is worth the effort. But I will ask my doctor if I could substitute potassium supplements for the blood pressure medicine-I hate the side effects.
What do you think? I have been trying to lose weight recently and tried a diet that was high on grapefruit consumption (3 glasses of juice or 1/2 a grapefruit daily). I was sensible however and ate a reasonable amount of proteins and carbs. My weight loss was successful and I felt great. However, I've been experiencing quite noticable palpitations and slight dizziness. The only thing I can put it down to is the grapefruit but I am not taking any medication whatsoever. Does anyone have any ideas?
I am for anything that will replace medications. They will eventually kill you. The meds cause other diseases that we would then have to get other meds for ..ones that are unrelated (we think)…and never know that it was caused by the meds we take. I have very high BP and stopped taking all medications except once in a while when it goes way high…like 180 over 110. Maybe I should not do that. I like to eat 1/2 grapefruit for breakfast and think I will start again eatng it.
Cholestral meds are a scam for the drug companies. They can only affect 25% and the side affects are terrible. My husband quit taking cholestrol meds (now black listed) and there is not difference. I think we should eat right and not worry about it. The drug companies are the ones who set the standard of what the count should be on all the lab work…they make the standard low so you wll supposedly need med.
I think it can only harm you if you use with medication. Jehovah created all things, grapefruit as a fruit, toeat. It most likely will have an impact on drugs used whether or not it is for BP medication.
I agree with you Rosalind. They actually make drugs from plants and other things but they can't patent things grown naturally. So, to make money they create things with the same or similar properties to sell to us. I believe the earth grows everything we need to survive. We just need to know what plants do what and in which combinations we should use them.

We all know some F2P games are terrible. But there are also some emerging F2P games that are extremely high quality.
I am looking directly at Tera Online here. The first MMO i ventured into away from WoW.
Tera is proof that F2P games are not all terrible.
The graphics are better than WoW. The gameplat is very good. It has alot of active players and the general chat is akin to that of the Barrens when WoW first came out.
And one of the best things i like about it is that playing on a Xbox control Pad is completely feasible (except for type chat ofc). I mean seriously, you can play this MMO on a control pad and it is still awesome.
Dont bash good quality F2P games until you actually try one, because not all of them are bad, and in a few exceptions, they are actually better quality than games with subs.
Yep thats right, i am most definatly saying Tera is higher quality than WoW.

|Oracle Workflow Guide
Release 2.6.2
Part Number A95265-03
|Master Index
The products listed below leverage the Oracle Workflow Business Event System for business process integration. A full description of each feature is documented in its respective product's User's Guide or Configuration Guide, if one is available.
- When you confirm a payment batch or create a Quick payment, the Business Event System initiates this program which automatically sends an e-mail to each supplier that has a remittance advice e-mail address defined.
Oracle XML Gateway leverages the Oracle Workflow Business Event System to publish and subscribe to application business events of interest to automatically trigger message creation or consumption. Seeded Workflow functions are provided for use in Workflow processes to interact directly with the XML Gateway Execution Engine to generate outbound or to consume inbound messages. The outbound messages generated by the Execution Engine are made available to the downstream Workflow activity for processing. The Execution Engine consumes the inbound messages passed to it by a Workflow process.
Two item types are delivered with the XML Gateway: the XML Gateway Standard Item Type and the XML Gateway Error Processing Item Type.
XML Gateway Standard Item Type - The XML Gateway Standard Item Type includes the Raise Document Delivery Event, which is used to raise a business event from an existing Workflow process. This allows you to seamlessly integrate your existing Workflow process with Oracle XML Gateway to create an outbound XML message. The functions included with the XML Gateway Standard Item Type are Consume XML Document, Generate XML Document, Generate Trading Partner XML Document, Send Document, Transform XML, and Transaction Delivery Required.
Configure the seeded events and event subscriptions delivered by the Oracle E-Business Suite for pre-built XML messages in support of Business-to-Business or Application-to-Application integration.
XML Gateway Error Processing Item Type - The XML Gateway Error Processing Item Type contains error handling processes to manage errors detected by the Oracle Workflow Business Event System or Oracle XML Gateway. The error processes are: Default Error Process, ECX Engine Notification Process, ECX Main Error Process, ECX Main Inbound Error Process, ECX Main Outbound Error Process, Error Handling for Inbound Messages, and Error Handling for Outbound Messages.
The XML Gateway Error Processing Item Type supports two event activities: Receive Error and Receive Send Notification Event. The Receive Error event is used by the XML Gateway to indicate that the XML Gateway execution engine has detected an error. The Receive Send Notification Event is used to indicate that the execution engine has identified a need to send a notification for errors related to an inbound process.
Oracle Workflow error handling provides active error notification to the XML Gateway System Administrator or Trading Partner with support for the Workflow retry and reprocess features. The functions provided by the XML Gateway Error Processing Item Type are: ECX Reprocess Inbound, ECX Resend Outbound Message, Get ECX In Error Details, Get ECX Out Error Details, Get System Administrator Role, and Get Trading Partner Role.
For more information, see: Oracle XML Gateway User's Guide.

Daunte Culpepper lost his Florida home this week due to foreclosure.
The former NFL quarterback chose to surrender his 10,000 square foot home to SunTrust Bank in lieu of foreclosure.
Pro Football Talk reports that Culpepper purchased the $3.6 million home back in 2006. Court papers show that Culpepper still owed more than $3 million on the property.
Culpepper turned over the home back in April and SunTrust dropped the lawsuit against him earlier this month.
The former NFL quarterback owns another home in the nearby suburb of Weston.
The Florida Business Journal, which first reported the news about Daunte Culpepper's Florida home, notes that the former Minnesota Vikings quarterback made plenty of money during his career in the NFL.
Culpepper signed a $102 million, 10-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings (he also got a $16 million signing bonus) in 2003. That deal was reworked in 2006 when Culpepper was obtained by the Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins gave Culpepper a $7 million signing bonus and agreed to pay him $51.5 million through 2013.
Culpepper didn't make it to the 2013 season, however, as he struggled with injuries. The last time he play football was with the United Football League's Sacramento Mountain Lions in 2010.
Are you surprised that Daunte Culpepper had to forfeit his Florida home due to foreclosure?

Recently we tried four super easy dip recipes for apples at my house. They ranged from tangy to sweet. We each picked a different dip as a favorite. By making four we didn't end up with anyone not liking a dip although we could have just made them one at time. None of them was voted yucky by any of us.
Here dip recipes for the dips we made:
Apple Cider Dip
- ½ a pint of sour cream
- 1 package of hot apple cider mix
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons of finely chopped apples
- 1package of cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of apple juice
- 1 cup of vanilla yogurt
- 2 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons of powdered sugar
- ¼ cup of applesauce
- 1 package of cream cheese
- 2 tablespoon of cinnamon

The "Tink" Call
Not too long ago, it was commonplace for birders to make casual references to THE call or THE song of a bird species, as though every bird had only two modes of communication. Now we know better.
These days, I'm more likely to hear casual references to THE flight call and THE alarm call. After all, when we notice that, for example, many species of warblers and sparrows give similar high "seets" on the wing in migration and sharp "chips" in alarm when perched, it makes sense to group those calls into categories and name them after similarities in their form or function.
But there's an odd, insidious trick of psychology at work in all of us. If a sound doesn't match our expectations — if it doesn't fit one of our pre-existing mental categories — we're much less likely to hear it. If we do hear it, we're likely to dismiss it as a quirk of the individual, a bird doing "something weird." Or else we'll just cram it into a category we recognize: "must be the flight call, I guess."
Something like this happened to me as I researched the "call notes" of various warblers. I regularly ran into sounds that didn't fit my mental categories, and after a brief period of confusion, I tended to dismiss them as atypical versions of the normal call. Beware that word "atypical" — it strongly suggests that what you're hearing is best ignored, that it's an outlier at risk of messing up your dataset.
A few months ago, an online chat with my co-blogger Andrew Spencer started unraveling some of my preconceptions:
Andrew: are you going to cover alarm calls in warblers?
me: What kinds of alarm calls?
Andrew: those high pitched tink calls that many warblers give
like http://www.xeno-canto.org/13861
I think every warbler just about does tink calls when alarmed
I heard Connecticut Warbler give one
and I've heard it from a number of other species
but I don't know how many recordings there are
me: Just higher-pitched versions of the normal call? Or something distinct?
Andrew: the one I linked of the Orange-crowned Warbler is distinct I think
all the ones I've heard sound damn near the same
me: I remember when I was researching Louisiana Waterthrush calls I came upon a recording in the Macaulay collection of a bird giving calls much higher than all the other recordings — more like your tinks. I just figured it was a crazy variation on the normal call.
Andrew: I have calls like that from Black-throated Blue Warbler as well: http://www.xeno-canto.org/30783
me: And I have a recording of an agitated Kentucky Warbler switching back and forth from a chip-like to a tink-like note.
Andrew: and I got a few from Golden-winged Warbler this past trip
me: These "tink" notes appear to be poorly described in field guides and the literature.
Andrew: doesn't surprise me
me: This calls for a blog post.
Andrew: haha I was about to say the same thing
As soon as I started digging, I realized that these "tink" calls hadn't gone unnoticed by everyone. Paul Driver featured them on his blog back in 2009, under the name "high chip calls":
A number of warblers (perhaps most?) have high chip alarm calls different to the typical chip call, sounding more like titmice or Golden-crowned Kinglet. They seem to be heard most often on breeding grounds and are often given by birds that are highly agitated; in this way they seem analogous to the high chip call of the Song Sparrow.
Funny he should mention Song Sparrow. Recordings show that a great many species of sparrow give a "tink" note that sounds much like the "tinks" of warblers, and is given in similar situations of high alarm. (This warbler-sparrow similarity is no coincidence – but that's a subject for another day.)
These "tink" notes seem worth of their own category, separate from the "call" and the "flight call." They tend to indicate a higher level of alarm than "typical" calls, but not as high as the buzzes and shrieks that these birds give when they're really upset (e.g., when a predator is attacking a nest, or when the bird is caught in a mist net). Sometimes one hears calls intermediate between the high "tinks" and the lower "chips," especially from sparrows.
"Tinks" can raise some interesting questions. In some species, like Cape May Warbler, the "typical" call sounds much like a tink, and there may be little distinction — or is it perhaps that the tink is just more frequently given, so that we think of it as typical? At the very least, if you happen to be in the habit of identifying Cape May Warblers by call alone, the existence of similar sounds in all these other species should give you pause.
An online catalog of "tink" recordings
Not every warbler and sparrow has a "tink," apparently. For example, I haven't been able to find any convincing examples from the genus Spizella (except for American Tree Sparrow, which many researchers agree is misplaced in Spizella and overdue for a move to its own genus).
I've attempted to assemble a collection of "tink" recordings that are available online, in order to document their existence in as many species as possible. No doubt there are other "tinking" species not currently represented below.
- Ovenbird (maybe these are tinks)
- Worm-eating Warbler (also on Paul Driver's site)
- Louisiana Waterthrush (mostly chip notes with a few tinks thrown in)
- Blue-winged Warbler
- Golden-winged Warbler
- Lucy's Warbler
- Orange-crowned Warbler
- Kentucky Warbler (on Paul Driver's site)
- Common Yellowthroat (on Paul Driver's site)
- Yellow Warbler (on Paul Driver's site)
- Black-throated Blue Warbler
- Cape May Warbler (this species may not give lower-pitched calls)
- Blackburnian Warbler (also on Paul Driver's site)
- "Audubon's" Yellow-rumped Warbler
- Pine Warbler (on Paul Driver's site)
- Black-throated Gray Warbler
- Golden-cheeked Warbler
- Black-throated Green Warbler
- Bay-breasted Warbler
- Canada Warbler (maybe these are tinks)
- Painted Redstart
- Spotted Towhee
- Eastern Towhee
- Green-tailed Towhee
- Song Sparrow (on Paul Driver's site)
- Swamp Sparrow
- Vesper Sparrow
- Fox Sparrow (Slate-colored)
- White-throated Sparrow
- White-crowned Sparrow
- American Tree Sparrow
- Savannah Sparrow
- Le Conte's Sparrow
If you can add to the list above, or have other useful observations of "tink"-like notes, let me know!

Chicago, 111., July 12. There were very
few remaining evidences this morning of
the democratic convention. The delegates
very generally have taken their departure.
At the clubs and head quarters, the ban

have resumed their wonted appearance. On
the streets there are still to be seen more
than the usual number of white hats, a
number of which are surmounted with
small feathered roosters, the wearing of
which has come to be a sort of rage among
the democracy. The members of the na
tional committee and other leaders of the
party who are still in the city
as to the strength of the ticket. The dele
gates generally, express great satisfaction
at the treatment received at the hands of
the local committees in providing: for their
comfort. Now that the great convention
has come and gone it is due to the officers
and committees of arrangements that the
press should acknowledge to them their
The remodeling of the hall was made
admirably. The audience room and facli

London. July 12. The Daily News says,
America's foreign relations will be saier in
Cleveland's hands than in those of Blaine.
The latter represents the American jingo
party which, like the same party here
makes up in audacity and volubility for
lack of numbers. A president like Cleve
land would cultivate quietude abroad and
peace at home. If elected he will be
chosen on the ground that he is more
worthy to represent the probity and good
sense of the studied moderation of the
American people than Blaine.

with a burst of genuine enthusiasm which
seemed to inspired him and he spoke with
more than his usual ease and fluency.
His remarks were as follows :
My fellow citizens, you are almost as

your approval of the nominations that were
made at Chicago. 1 am glad
that you are so cordial in
this expression. This is a great year,
with us every fourth year we elect two
great officers of the government. This year
is our great year and every man whatever

convention at Chicago. I spent nearly aweek
in attendance in that city and now 1 return
to say a few thing to you and only a few
things to you in regard to that convention.
it was the largest convention
ever held in America. Never has such an
assemblage of people been seen before. It
was a convention marked in its character
for sobriety, deliberation and purpose. It
elected two men to carry the banner and
leaving that convention and going out be
fore the people the question is will you
help carry the banner lireat cheers and
cries of uwe will do it." I do not expect
I have no right to expect that I will escape
the criticism and it may be the slander
of the ooDosite party. I have
suffered very much from that but I am be
fore you, democrats, conservatives, inde

government to the position it occupied be
fore these corrupt times, and to all such
men I make an appeal for your support for
the high office for which I have been nom

is the nominee for president ; a man pro

state ; he is a man of established honesty
of character and if you will elect him to
the presidency of the United Stales you
will not hear of star routes in the postal

Bayard came in from his suburban home
to his office this morning and was just open
ing his morning mail when an Associated
Press representative called upon him. He
said he was not yet prepared to speak fully
and freely in regard to the work of opening
the campaign but would do so when the

ing him on his nomination. He referred
to Cleveland's letter of acceptance of the
gubernatorial nomination in 1SS2, as an
admirable document which had attracted
his attention at the time, and lingered in
his memory, and he was prepared to believe

Critical Condition of Chinese
London, July 12. The Shanghia cor
respondent of the Times, says Sir Robert
Hart, the Chinese customs inspector, is
trying to negotiate with Potentotre, the
French minister. The Farugor council
seems blind to the dangers of a war of re
bellion. Prince Chun trusts to the boast
ing fanatics and to the officials who con
ceal the defenseless condition of the coast.
All for Cleveland Crittenden
Says It's Destiny.
Boonville, Mo., July 12. Special.
The nominations of Cleveland and Hen
dricks are received with every manifesta
tion of approval in Boonville. The visit
ors to Chicago returned home to-night, and
claim that it is an unusually strong
Gov. Crittenden came in on the even
ing train and was seen by the Baboo cor
respondent at the residence of Hon. John
R. Walker. I was an original Tilden man
said the governor, but accepting his de
clination as final, I was next lor Cleve
land. He is a political child of destiny
and is predestinated to be the next presi
dent. Hendricks adds to the good judg
ment of the wisdom and common sense of
1884 ; the sentiment and power of 1S76. It
is the strongest ticket that could possibly
have been named, and
like a whirlwind.
New York is to-day as safe for the de
mocracy as is Missouri, and Hendricks is a
tower of strength in Indiana. The very
skill with which Cleveland's managers
conducted the contest at Chicago shows
how effectively his campaign will be car
ried on, and he will be as
in the one as the other.
Tell the Bazoo's intelligent readers
a wiser choice could not have been made.
The democrats of Boonville will have a
grand ratification meeting at the court
house Monday night, at which trovernor
Crittended will probably speafc.

Greenwood, Mo. Special. The storm

A Forthcoming Sober Democrat.
Washington, D. C, July 12. At the so
licitation oi some of the leading trade and
industrial organizations of the country,
the secretary of State last winter directed
the preparation of a circular letter with
the view of securing through the consular
officers the fullest obtainable information
concerning the condition of labor through
out foreign countries, especially in Europe.
Very full returns have been received from
the consuls everywhere, and are now in
process of preparation in the
bureau of statistics of the state
department for the press. The
material embodies information, relating
not only to rates of wages paid to all
classes of laborers, but to prices paid for
the necessaries of life, clothing, rent, food
&c, not only from an American standpoint,
as to what the necessaries of life comprise,
but the actual nature and quality of the
articles consumed.
Information is also given upon the
habits of the working classes, their steadi
ness, trustworthyness and economy, or
otherwise upon the feeling which prevails
between the employee and the employer ;
the effects of that feeling and the prosperi
ty of the community and upon the organ
ized condition of labor.
The nature of organization and its effect
upon the advancement and welfare of the
laborers ; upon counter organizations of
capital and local or general laws bearing
on such organizations; upon the prevalency
of strikes and how far arbitration enters
into the settlement of disagreements be
tween employers and employes : upon the
formation, practical working and effect of
co-operative societies, and to what extent
they have fulfilled the promises held out
it their formation, enabling the working
people to purchase the necessaries of life
at a less cost than through the regular
business channels ; upon the means fur
nished for the safety of employes in
factories, mines and mills and on railways
etc ; the provisions made for the work
people m case of accident : the general
consideration given by employers to the
moral and phvsical well being of their
emploves : iipan the political rights en
joyed by working men and their influence
through such rights upon legislation ; upon
the causes which lead to emigration of
working people and finally upon the nuin
bers of women and chil iren employed in
industrial pursuits not connected with the
household ; their wages and the moral and
phvsical conditions and general etlects of
such employment upon the family circle.
The volume will be ready for the press iu
about two weeks.
The following circular in relation to the
collection of taxes on fruit brandy has
been sent to the collector of internal rev
enue by the treasury department. It has
been decided to continue the system of su
pervising the operations ot fruit distiller
ies, which has prevailed the last two sea-
sons. To tnis enu, collectors are instruct
ed to give prompt attention to all notices
and bonds, that distillers may not be de
layed in beginning woik, nor have a pre
text for commencing work beiore they are
notified of the approval of their papers.
Practices, where they exist, of delaying
the return of monthly reports, and car
rying singling over from month to month
without doubling until towards the end of
the season, should be required given up
and collectors will vigorously insist upon
a more strict compliance with ths regular
methods of procedure which the regula
tions provide, jiarnest measures should
be taken to secure prompt and faithful en
tries in the distillers' record of materials
Durchased and used : days and hours of
operation ; number of boilings made and
quantities produced. Doubling should be
required each month and arrangement
made which will enable the gauging to be
done promptly and as often each month
as circumstances demand ; serial numbers
of packages must be continuous at the
same distillery, with the same proprietor,
and must not be changed each
n . t e i
year, uor me purpose oi irequem vis-
itation of distilleries you will again
when necessary lay off your districts into
suitable divisions and arrange for compe
tent officers sufficient to thoroughly effect
the purpose of maintaining a supervision of
these distilleries which shall afford the dis
tiller every facility for a compliance
with the law and shall limit the opportu
nities for its evasion.

the rebellion.

Washington, July 12. Chief of post
office inspectors, O. E. Sharpe, and Inspec
tor Camp appointed a committee to exam
ine into the condition of the Chicago post
office, who. have made a report to the post
master general. They find that the post
master has devoted his time to the office
and possesses a good general knowledge of
details of the service. The assistant post
master is experienced, efficient and well
fitted for the position. His, duties however,
are somewhat limited. Under the present
organization of the office, some of the most
important duties usually performed by the
assistant postmaster at large postoffices
having been delegated or absorbed by what
is termed an auditor. The committee
says : "We have carefully examined the
work now performed by the auditor and
are of the opinion that his duties can be
added to those now performed by the as
sistant postmaster without detriment to the
service, we recommend this consolidaiioa
be made and that the 83,000 per annum
now paid the auditor be suspended from
the allowance. A private secretary of the
postmaster is carried on the roster at
2,500 per annum. In our judgment this
position is unnecessary and as a matter of
fact very little service has ever been per
formed by the party now holding the posi
tion, we therefore recommend that the of
fice be abolished. The committee believe
that two clerks employed in the weighing
division can be dispensed with. The su
perintendent's divisions are found to be of
efficient and experienced men. The mail
ing and city delivery divisions are espe
cially well managed. Some additional
force it regarded as necessary before the
beginning of the heavy work of the fall and
winter. The stations we found in good
condition with exception of the fixtures
and furniture which is worn and shabby
from long service. The communication
recommended the discontinuance of post
offices at Wrights Grove, Bandowa and
Humboldt Park, their places being
supplied by the substitution
of a delivery. They also recommen
ded an inspector be charged with the duty
of investigating the delivery service with a
view to its extension if deemed advisable
to outlaying stations. Altogether the re
port recommends an allowance for thirty
one additional clerks at an aggregate sal
ary of $20,120, and it provides for a reduc
tion of $7,460, leaving net increase of $12,
Washington, July 12. The postmaster
general received the report of Messrs. Burt,
French and Dice and commenced to inves
tigate the condition of the St. Louis office.
They report to the assistant-postmaster
that although as yet inexperienced, he is
active and energetic and will make an effi
cient officer. The cashier, from old age, is
unable to perform the duties which the
cashier of an office as large as St. Louis
should perform. The auditor is relied upon
to perform the duties which devolve upon
him and should be performed by the cash
ier and assistant cashier and in the opinion
of the convention the last named officers
are too old to fill the positions which they
held and should be assigned to other da
ties and their positions filled by younger
men. If this is done there is clearly no
necessity for an auditor. The office of
local inspector is found to be wholly un
necessary and should be abolished. Four
additional clerks are required in the mail
ing division. The recommendations in the
report if carried into effect would involve
an increase in the office of four to eight
clerks and an additional allowance oi

A Heavy Failure.
New York. June 12. Wm. M. Halstead,
Wm. Haines, John M Meyers and J. Ed
ward Bentley, composing the firm of Hal
stead, Haines & Co., importers and jobbers
in dry goods, have failed and made an as
signment to-dav for the benefit of their
creditors, to Lewis May, with preferences
$417,iK)0. Among the preferred creditors
are the following :
Estate John M.Meyers, $102,000.
Central National bank, $40,000.
Ninth National batik, $10,000.
First National bank of Tennessee river.
New Jersey, $10,000.
H. C. Bennett Sc Co , 75,000.
Drexel, Morgan & Co., $32,000.
The announcement of the suspension was
received with much sumrise among the
down town business men. The liabilities
are said to foot up $200,000. The assignee
said he had not yet examined the hooks
and could make no statement. The mem
bers of the firm will be seen. A prominent
Broadway dry goods merchant said the
suspension had caused no commotion in
dry goods circles because it had been ex
pected for some time. A well-known Worth
street merchant said he believed the liabil
ities would not exceed $100,000.
