The unemployed motorcycle mechanic suspected of carrying out the deadly shooting at the Los Angeles airport set out to kill multiple employees of the Transportation Security Administration and hoped the attack would "instill fear in their traitorous minds," authorities said Saturday.
Paul Ciancia, 23, was so determined to take lives that, after shooting a TSA officer and going up an escalator, he turned back to see the officer move and returned to fire on him again, killing him, according to surveillance video reviewed by the FBI.
In a news conference announcing charges against Ciancia, U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. spelled out a chilling chain of events inside LAX that began when Ciancia strode into Terminal 3, pulled a Smith & Wesson .223-caliber assault rifle out of his duffel bag and fired repeatedly at point-blank range at a TSA officer who was checking IDs and boarding passes at the base of an escalator leading to the main screening area.
After killing that officer, Ciancia fired on at least two other uniformed TSA employees and a civilian airline passenger, who were all wounded. Airport police eventually shot him as panicked passengers cowered in stores and restaurants.
Ciancia, who was shot four times by airport police, remained hospitalized Saturday, but there was no word on his condition. He was wounded in the mouth and the leg, authorities said.
Ciancia's duffel bag contained a handwritten letter signed by Ciancia stating he'd "made the conscious decision to try to kill" multiple TSA employees and that he wanted to stir fear in them, said FBI Special Agent in Charge David L. Bowdich.
The bag also had five magazines of ammunition.
Authorities working to determine motive
Federal prosecutors filed charges of first-degree murder and commission of violence at an international airport against Ciancia. The charges could qualify him for the death penalty.
The FBI was still looking into his past, but said they had not found evidence of past crimes or any run-ins with TSA. They said he had never applied for a job with TSA.
Authorities believe someone dropped Ciancia off at the airport. Agents are reviewing surveillance tapes to piece together the exact sequence of events, he said.
"We are really going to draw a picture of who this person was, his background, his history. That will help us explain why he chose to do what he did," Bowdich said. "At this point, I don't have the answer on that."
The note found in the duffel bag suggested Ciancia was willing to kill almost any TSA officer.
"Black, white, yellow, brown, I don't discriminate," the note read, according to a paraphrase by a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The suspect's screed also mentioned "fiat currency" and "NWO," possible references to the New World Order, a conspiracy theory that foresees a totalitarian one-world government.
Terminal 3, the area where the shooting happened, reopened Saturday. Passengers who had abandoned luggage to escape Friday's gunfire were allowed to return to collect their bags.
"When challenged, Los Angeles is ready and knows how to respond. This is one tough town," said Coun. Mike Bonin, whose district includes the airport.
He praised airport police, saying they "saved untold lives" with a swift response that was "absolutely textbook."
The TSA planned to review its security policies in the wake of the shooting. Administrator John Pistole did not say if that meant arming officers.
Disturbing text messages
As airport operations returned to normal, a few more details trickled out about Ciancia, who by all accounts was reserved and solitary.
Former classmates barely remember him and even a recent roommate could say little about the young man who moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles less than two years ago. A former classmate at Salesianum School in Wilmington, Del., said Ciancia was incredibly quiet.
"He kept to himself and ate lunch alone a lot," David Hamilton told the Los Angeles Times. "I really don't remember any one person who was close to him .... In four years, I never heard a word out of his mouth."
On Friday, Ciancia's father called police in New Jersey, worried about his son in L.A. The young man had sent texts to his family that suggested he might be in trouble, at one point even saying goodbye.
The call came too late. Ten minutes earlier, police said, he had walked into the airport.
In the messages, the younger Ciancia did not mention suicide or hurting others, but his father had heard from a friend that his son may have had a gun, said Allen Cummings, police chief in Pennsville, a small blue-collar town near the Delaware River where Ciancia grew up.
The police chief called Los Angeles police, who sent a patrol car to Ciancia's apartment. There, two roommates said that they had seen him a day earlier and he had appeared to be fine.
But by that time, shots were already breaking out at the airport.
"There's nothing we could do to stop him," Cummings said.
Suspect moved to L.A. in 2012
The police chief said he never met Paul Ciancia Jr., but that he learned from his father that he attended a technical school in Florida, then moved to Los Angeles in 2012 hoping to get a job as a motorcycle mechanic. He was having trouble finding work.
Ciancia graduated in December 2011 from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Orlando, Fla., said Tina Miller, a spokeswoman for Universal Technical Institute, the Scottsdale, Ariz., company that runs the school.
A basic motorcycle mechanic course takes about a year, she said.
Authorities identified the dead TSA officer as Gerardo I. Hernandez, 39, the first TSA official in the agency's 12-year history to be killed in the line of duty.
Friends and neighbors remembered him as a doting father of two and a good neighbor who went door-to-door warning neighbors to be careful after his home in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles was burglarized.
In brief remarks outside the couple's home, his widow, Ana Hernandez, said Saturday that her husband came to the U.S. from El Salvador at age 15.
The couple, who married on Valentine's Day in 1998, had two children.
Friday's attack was not the first shooting at LAX. On July 4, 2002, a limousine driver opened fire at the airport's El Al ticket counter, killing an airline employee and a person who was dropping off a friend at the terminal. Police killed the gunman.

Feeling pretty ugly. Like, sorry if you take offense to that. But I've been eating junk lately and my clothes are getting tighter and I honestly just want to snap my fingers and make my stomach flatter and even my face is getting a bit chubby…. When you're used to looking a certain way, and learning to love how you look a certain way, its hard when the way you think you look good is gone….if that makes sense. Like, I still love my body or whatever, but still…just not feeling sexy because of it and zero people on this planet think I'm attractive so whatever. I feel like I have a life preserve around my stomach. I'll just crawl in my covers and never come out. I like being attractive, and I'm sorry if you think thats superficial but I honestly don't care. I like fashion and feeling attractive in my cute outfits and atm I don't feel that way at all. Just had to rant. I apologize.

- justtogetawayfromyou said: It's a pretty normal thing to feel that way Anyone can relate, but try not to worry about fat you seem to be able to lose weight quickly (from what you told me and you seem to have that body type) so yeah I hope you feel better soon :3

The World Baseball Classic MVP from the Dominican Republic, Robinson Cano, returned to the lineup tonight and got the only hit for the Yankees. Cano would score on a flyball to left field that outfielder Joe Benson made an error on. David Phelps started tonight's game and had a smooth three innings of work. In his fourth inning of work, Phelps would give up four hits, a walk, and a sacrifice fly for four runs until he got his first out. He would get one more out and would need the bullpen to take over. Phelps would allow five runs without getting out of the fourth inning. Mariano Rivera gave up a leadoff single, his first hit of the Spring, but would proceed to strikeout the side. David Robertson would follow Rivera and gave up one hit while striking out two in his inning. David Aardsma had a scoreless inning of work with one strikeout. Boone Logan would give up a run in his inning and Preston Claiborne added a scoreless inning to the game.

Infant-to-Toddler Tubs such as The First Years Infant to Toddler Tub with Sling adjust to serve the needs of your growing baby. Featuring a unique ergonomic design that positions baby for easier bathing and a special drain cover that changes color if the bath water is too hot, The First Years Infant to Toddler Tub is a great newborn to toddler bathing solution.
If you're ready to move away from the sink and get baby used to the idea of an adult tub, it's a good idea to start with a toddler bathtub that can be used inside or your tub. Inflatable bathing tubs such as the Kirby Inflatable Tub from the First Years are convenient, safe and help get baby used to the idea of a bath in the big bathtub.
Bathing tubs aren't the only option for cleaning baby. Bath seats are quite popular when baby is able to sit up unassisted. Some parents find that it is easier to bathe baby in a bath seat like the Safety 1st Tubside Bath Seat. A bath seat can make it easier to control your wiggly little baby and more easily clean their body.
No matter how you decide to go about baby bathing, make sure that safety always comes first. Never leave your baby unattended in their tub. We wouldn't want anything to happen, and we're sure that you feel the same!

When Danzy Senna's parents got married in 1968, they seemed poised to defy history. They were two brilliant young American writers from wildly divergent backgrounds—a white woman with a blue-blood Bostonian lineage and a black man, the son of a struggling single mother and an unknown father. They married in a year that seemed to separate the past from the present; together, these two would snub the histories that divided them and embrace a radical future. When their marriage disintegrated eight years later, it was, as one friend put it, "the ugliest divorce in Boston's history"—a violent, traumatic war that felt all the more heartrending given the hopeful symbolism of their union.
Decades later, Senna looks back not only at her parents' divorce but beyond it, to the opposing American histories that her parents had tried so hard to overcome. On her mother's side of the family she finds—in carefully preserved documents—the chronicle of a white America both illustrious and shameful. On her father's she discovers, through fragments and shreds of evidence, a no less remarkable history. As she digs deeper into this unwritten half of the story, she reconstructs a longburied family mystery that illuminates her own childhood. In the process, she begins to understand her difficult father, the power and failure of her parents' union, and, finally, the forces of history.
Where Did You Sleep Last Night? is at once a potent statement of personal identity, a challenging look at the murky waters of American ancestry, and an exploration of narratives—the narratives we create and those we forget. Senna has given us an unforgettable testimony to the paradoxes—the pain and the pride—embedded in history, family, and race.
Praise for Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
"There are stories we need to find, and stories that must be told. In this masterful work of seeking and telling, hoping and letting go, Danzy Senna stalks her ancestral past like an attorney assembling the case of a lifetime. Her closing remarks prove that as improbable as it sounds, the people of this great country we call America really are indivisible; we truly are one. This book is a great gift. Read it."—Rebecca Walker, author of Black, White, and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self
"In her courageous portrait of the tumultuous union between her Boston Brahmin mother and her enigmatic black father, Danzy Senna offers a powerfully personal take on the progress of American race relations since the civil rights movement. Where Did You Sleep Last Night? reminds us of the consequences of our origins and our inescapable desire to make sense of them."—Bliss Broyard, author of One Drop : My Father's Hidden Life—A Story of Race and Family Secrets
Praise for Danzy Senna
"Senna's dynamic storytelling illuminates personal revelations that are anything but black and white." —Entertainment Weekly
"Senna throws everything into her literary stew–ambition, love, obsession, jealousy, and race." —Elle
Praise for Danzy Senna's Caucasia
"Senna's remarkable first novel [will] cling to your memory . . . Senna tells this coming of age tale with impressive beauty and power." —Newsweek
"[An] absorbing debut novel . . . Senna superbly illustrates the emotional toll that politics and race take." —New York Times Book Review

FOX Sports on MSN - USA - Brazil legend Ronaldo's career in the balance
Printable View
Sad, Ronaldo is a shell of his former self but if he has the ball in the 6 yard box it's going in.
He was out of shape before this injury and surgery and rehab probably won't help. I'm sure we've seen the last of Ronaldo in a signifigant role.
When he was at his best, he was the best forward I've ever seen play(just to note I'm 22 so I never saw Pele, Muller, and I just saw Maradona at the end of his career). But yea, Ronaldo was the best striker of his generation and it's not even close.
His goal scoring record for the first two clubs in Europe were...
PSV Einhoven - 42 goals in 46 games played.
FC Barcelona - 34 goals in 37 games played.
From the beginning of his career at PSV until the end of his days at Barcelona, he averaged almost a goal a game. Doing it in Holland is one thing, but to sustain that average after he moved to Spain, is exceptional.
It all depends on how long Ronaldo's contract is. If it's a long one, I'm sure he'll be very happy to collect a weekly wage, and not have to put any work in. Hell, I'm sure he'll be "training" in Brazil to make a come back!
He's DONE
Definitely done. AC Milan has Pato and now Ronaldo can sign a "FAT" (pun intended) contract with the MLS. Hopefully he'll stay clear of Los Angeles...
He has gone down the Maradona path...eat yourself out of the league one empenada at a time....

Fashion Tips Anyone Can Use To Look Their Best
Dressing well does not have to be difficult. When you have the right fashion knowledge, this stuff just becomes second nature. Continue reading to see what hints others give to help you dress the best. Read on for some great tips.
Square-heeled shoes are not flattering to those who are short in height. These shoes make people with short legs look shorter than normal, so try slim heel shoes instead.
Look at what the clothing you're buying is made from. Be sure to read the list of materials found on the tag. Something that fits in the store may not fit after a couple wash cycles if it is a low quality fabric. Try to spend your money on high quality fabrics, rather than waste it on fabrics that will lose their shape or fade.
You could go to a color consultant if you are not sure which colors look good on you. Different colors have different visual effects on people depending on the color tone of their skin, their eyes and their hair. Experiment to determine which colors suit your features, and choose clothing in those colors.
If you own a beauty kit, do not store a ton of makeup in it. Just choose a few colors that match the season. Think about what you will need for the entire day. Remember, makeup can go bad after it has been unsealed, so much of what you buy may be wasted. There is also the potential for germ growth if a product sits too long.
Quirkiness is great for fashion. Ruffle your hair, wear an open shirt or wear mismatched shoes. You can't be perfect; controlled chaos helps you stand apart from the pack and shows off your uniqueness.
Dark on dark can help you look thinner if you are a bit overweight and self conscious about yourself. These colors will camouflage your shape and reduce the appearance of any bulges you may have. Your skirt should have an elastic waistband for more comfort.
Sheer outfits are super sexy, but always make sure you're aware of how sheer your clothes really are. If you select an item that shows a bit too much skin, you will just look like you are trying too hard.
Staying on trend with the world of fashion is not impossible for anyone, even you! It could even be fun! Use this advice, and before you know it, you will be much happier with your appearance.
Anyone who wants one of these jackets, get in touch? with exportclothes via skype! Request for them to restock the versace bomber jacket, we need more people to raise the demand. State how much you want one and for them to contact their factory to make more! More demand means more reason to restock at the beginning of April!

Wilson Combat Bullet Proof Extractor 1911 9mm Luger, 38 Super Series 70, 80 Blue
Product #: 465510 Wilson Combat #: 415,S80 UPC #: 874218001865
Product Information
Wilson Combat's Bullet Proof Extractor works like a spring to maintain proper tension on the cartridge case and has a hook that's tough enough to withstand the constant abrasion and shock of feeding and extracting rounds. Machined from solid steel bar stock, optimal dimensions are maintained and corners radiused for extended life and smooth feeding. While this is a drop-in part, many guns may require minor tension adjustments.
Series 70 and 80 1911 Extractors:
The difference between Series 70 and Series 80 extractors is a plunger retainer stud machined into the Series 80 extractor. This retainer stud holds the firing pin lock plunger in place on Series 80 slides. All extractors which are designed to work in a Series 80 1911 will also work in all Series 70 guns, however extractors designed for Series 70 guns lack the machined cut which allows the firing pin lock plunger to be installed and therefore can not be used in Series 80 guns.
Series 70 and 80 1911 Extractors:

Felli Has 'A Good Chance'
David Moyes optimistic about midfielder playing on Sunday.
David Moyes says that Marouane Fellaini has 'a good chance' of being fit for Sunday's Merseyside derby.
The Belgian midfielder has been sidelined with a knee injury since the 2-2 draw at Wigan, but could return to the starting line-up for the visit of Liverpool.
"He's doing a bit of light training, so we'll see how he is," revealed Moyes at his Friday press conference. "He's not a definite, but I think he has a good chance.
"If he makes it, it will be a boost, if he doesn't it well be a miss. If we don't have him and Steven Pienaar then it will be two important players out. That is why you give people the opportunity to see what they can do, when they do get the chances they have to try and take them."
The Blues manager is also hopeful that Tony Hibbert could make his return for the fixture, but has ruled midfielder Darron Gibson out.
Local lad Hibbert has played in more Premier League derbies than any Everton player, and featured in the Under-21s' game against Arsenal on Monday following a calf problem.
Gibson, meanwhile, has been out of action with a thigh injury since the 2-0 defeat at West Brom.
Moyes said: "With Tony, we're not 100 per cent sure, but we'll monitor him. He's done a bit of training and took part in a game earlier in the week, so hopefully he'll have a chance.
"Darron Gibson's not fit. He won't be available."
Pienaar is unavailable as he serves a one-match ban following his red card at QPR.

From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Meow Mix
I'VE TRAINED my cats to think they're in charge, and to think they exact a tribute of two breakfasts from me each morning.
Initially I feed them each half a small can of salmon. The white cat finishes first, and scratches at the cabinets for more. As if in response, I feed them each a half can of whitefish, exactly as I always intended to. They finish with gusto, convinced that they've won.
I am so in client services.
And if you want to know how to succeed in client services, I've just told you.

What if the customer is too proud to scratch on the cabinet after getting half a small product? He'll just assume small portions.
The best service is the extra mile you get just for being there. Not from having to ask.

TUESDAY, Sept. 7 (HealthDay News) -- The cost of medical
malpractice in the United States is $55.6 billion a year, which is
2.4 percent of annual health-care spending, a new study shows.
The researchers said their estimate includes $45.6 billion in
what's known as defensive medicine costs -- when doctors prescribe
unnecessary tests or treatments to avoid lawsuits.
Defensive medicine not only contributes to health-care system
inefficiencies, but also fails to prevent medical errors and
avoidable patient injuries, said the researchers at Harvard
University and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
The study is published in the September issue of
Health Affairs, a special issue that examines medical malpractice and ideas for improving patient safety and controlling costs.
The actual cost of medical liability in the United States has
been unclear. The authors of this study say their analysis is the
most comprehensive, reliable estimate to date.
"We cannot debate the potential for medical liability reform to bring down health-care costs in any meaningful way without realistic cost estimates," study author Michelle Mello, a professor of law and public health at the Harvard School of Public Health, said in a journal news release. "Some of the numbers bandied about in policy discussion were quite imaginative and we wanted a more defensible estimate."
For the study, Mello and her colleagues analyzed numerous areas
of the medical liability system, including payments made to
malpractice plaintiffs, defensive medicine costs, lawyer fees and
other administrative costs, along with the costs of lost clinician
work time.
"Physician and insurer groups like to collapse all conversations about cost growth in health care to malpractice reform, while their opponents trivialize the role of defensive medicine," study co-author Amitabh Chandra, a professor of public policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, said in the news release.
"Our study demonstrates that both these simplifications are wrong -- the amount of defensive medicine is not trivial, but it's unlikely to be a source of significant savings," Chandra said.

It's the evening of January 25, 2007, and I'm hosting my first Ayahuasca Monologues storytelling event to a packed room at Eyebeam Atelier in New York City.
On stage, Breaking Open the Head author Daniel Pinchbeck, who semi-popularized the hallucinogenic tea ayahuasca within the spiritual counterculture, brushes aside his disheveled hair, asking in a voice barely audible from laryngitis, "How many of you here have tried ayahuasca?" Out of 220 people, only nine hands lift in the air, and they are mostly the featured storytellers (including myself) that I've directed for the show that night.
Cut to February 2012, and the mega-celebrity, Jennifer Aniston, best known for playing perky girl-next-door Rachel in Friends, is tipping a bowl of ayahuasca to her lips in Universal's newest romantic comedy Wanderlust. In just a few years, the once secret "shamans brew" of the Amazon has snaked its way into the popular consciousness, including the entertainment industry with cameos in the TV shows Weeds and Nip/Tuck and now the movie Wanderlust. But the question lies: can Hollywood portray this ancient medicinal, psychonautic elixir with the maturity and complexity necessary to address its multifaceted experiences?
The movie itself spins a bubbly tale of a New York couple (Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd) who – jobless and unable to afford their high-priced West Village apartment – flee to an intentional community (not commune) in rural Georgia. As Seth, the smarmy neo-shaman community leader states, "We use 'intentional community' because when you hear the word 'commune,' you think of a bunch of hippies smoking pot and playing guitar." The movie then trots out a series of sixties commune clichés – prancing nudists, tie-dye shirts, free love, and, yes, hippies smoking pot and playing guitar.
This sets up a number of enjoyable, easy jokes, but the clichés become more trite, and somewhat worrisome, when Aniston ingests ayahuasca. The experience starts out plausibly enough when Paul Rudd complains that the strange dark brown tea handed to him "reeks like cat butt." Ayahuasca's bitter, rotten-coffee taste is something you never forget. But, the Wanderlust gathering looks more like a backyard party than a traditional ceremony.
In the Amazon, shamans usually sing healing songs called icaros while cooking what they consider to be a sacred mixture. They believe ayahuasca to be a spirit or divine being, composed of two different plants – one containing the psychoactive chemical DMT (dimethyltryptomine) and the other, the double-helix shaped vineBanisteriopsis caapi.
Ceremonial participants normally prepare days (sometimes weeks) in advance by abstaining from pork, red meat, sugar, chocolate, cheese, alcohol, and sex as a way to clean out their system beforehand. Shamans hold opening prayers and ask that everyone stay inside a circle or the maloca (ceremonial center), so they can maintain a container for "the healing energies" of the ceremony to flow and to protect from interference from what they consider negative energies or entities. They sing icaros through most of the ceremony, and will often help journeyers through difficult passages by chanting the songs, blowing cleansing tobacco smoke on them (it's different than tobacco sold at 7-Eleven's in the US), or waving feathers to clear out unwanted energies.
In Wanderlust, members of the intentional community don't follow any dietary restrictions; there is no trustworthy shaman or guide (just Seth with his dubious motives), no singing, no healings, and probably worst of all, no set container for participants to find support when difficulties arise. This is, by far, the sloppiest group ayahuasca ceremony I've ever heard of.
In record timing (just a few minutes), the ayahuasca kicks in for Aniston (ayahuasca usually takes between 30–45 minutes). She embarks on a chaotic trip full of flashy, confusing images. In one quick-edit sequence, she is suddenly perched on top of a tree, singing R Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly." I soon realize the filmmakers are treating ayahuasca like the stereotypical acid trip.
In fact, Aniston herself conflated LSD and ayahuasca in a Chelsea Lately interview. When Chelsea Handler asked Aniston how she prepared for her LSD scene, Aniston answered, "I've never done LSD so I just kind of imagined every greatest fear that I could have." She never mentioned that it wasn't acid she takes in the film but rather a medicine that Amazonian healers and shamans have used for centuries to treat illness and disease.
Those who have tried ayahuasca know very well that it is no tune-in, turn-on, drop-out-of-trees kind of drug. I've never met anyone who ever wanted (or probably was able) to climb anything taller than a chair on this powerful, consciousness altering substance. Often with the intensity of the journey, it's a titanic struggle just to sit up.
But Aniston is right about the fear. Often anxieties, sickness, or dark energies (as shamans might call them), seem to rise to the surface to be released during ceremonies. This often comes in the form of purging, whether from throwing up or defecating, or in some more "volcanic" cases, both at the same time.
Surprisingly, this ancient ayahuasca healing modality has proven effective in some cases where Western medicine failed.
In Black Smoke, author Margaret DeWys describes how "the spirit vine" cured her of terminal breast cancer; Reality Sandwich web-magazine contributor April Blake writes about Shipibo ayahuasqueros curing her brain tumor, and National Geographic adventurer, Kira Salak wrote about how overcoming a "devil" in an ayahuasca vision vanquished her life-long struggle with depression in what has become "the most popular article the magazine has ever published, bringing in 20 times more reader response mail than any previous article."

There are so many things I could say but God, I`m so lazy… :))
Well exactly one year ago I signed in to tumblr. Big mistake. JK, it was probably one of the best decisions I ever took!<3
Exactly one year ago I would stay all day and watch you, stupid Taebaby, dance and sing, and I swear those were the best days ever!
It`s been one year and a half since I became a shawol. One year and a half filled with your happy eyes. You always cheered me up when I was the saddest, when I had nothing to believe in. There was you. It was always you. Because of you I`m going to the art high school, because of you I still dance, because of you I can smile today. Sounds a bit exagerated, I know, but it`s true.
It`s sad that I cannot do the same for you, be there for you and cheer you up. God didn`t want it to be like that. Even if there are barriers, my love will always reach you, and not only mine. All the Shinee World is here too<3

Good evening. I wanted to say thanks for your courageous stand with your article published today, "Pravda asks: What happened to American media?"
I read the original column that was posted and sent it out to all on my contact list. It was perhaps the best article to date summarizing what is actually going on. The crimes being committed by this administration and its accomplices and there are many to date.
The fact is God is the God of all truth, and these lies will only be able to continue for so long. There are people bent on destroying this country, and God's people and the people who care about liberty better wake up. I also sent out your article to all those on my contact list. Thanks again.

Compound Interest Value could be over $123 Million
TORONTO, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - A 1795 $1000 certificate issued by the United States Department of the Treasury may be one of the most interesting pieces of American financial history ever to be offered by public auction. It will be sold in the Canadian Legacy Sale, presented by Canadian Coin & Currency and Moore Numismatic Auctions from June 26-28. The certificate has been certified by PMG (Paper Money Guarantee, LLC) for authenticity, and is in Extremely Fine condition. Dated 20th of July, 1795, the certificate bears interest indefinitely at a rate of 5.5% per annum, and appears to remain unredeemed. If compounded over the 219 years since it was issued, this would now total a staggering redemption value of $123,676,914. While it is unlikely the Department of the Treasury would redeem this certificate today, it remains an amazing artefact of an important period of American history.

In 1795, President George Washington was working towards building a strong and well-financed national government. As Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton was the architect of a new financial system, establishing a national bank, issuing currency, and raising revenue. In 1795, this Treasury Certificate was one of the first sources of revenue for the young country, and may be seen as the predecessor of the modern "T-Bill". $1000 in 1795 was an enormous amount of money, and certificates of this value would have been purchased only by the wealthy and elite of the era.
The certificate measures approximately 7.25 inches by 13 inches and includes an embossed official seal of Robert Henry Dunkin, Notary Public for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It also bears the hand written name of Joseph Nourse, the first Register of the Treasury of the United States. The certificate was issued to "Arthur Cramond & Co. of London", and this would have been the company's copy of the registered loan to the United States Treasury. Research on the original certificate owner is as fascinating as the certificate itself. Arthur Cramond & Co. of London was a merchant firm operating in England that filed for bankruptcy in 1797, two years after the certificate was issued. While Arthur Cramond remained in London, his brother William Cramond was a powerful American merchant, property surveyor and land speculator, acquiring huge tracts of land in Pennsylvania, and building for himself the first gothic-style mansion in Philadelphia (which remains today). Unfortunately, William Cramond likely could not enjoy his stunning new home for long, as he was bankrupt by 1806.
The survival of this early financial document likely stems from Cramond's failure to provide the certificate to creditors upon bankruptcy. Today, it survives as a testament to the development of the United States financial system, and is likely the oldest known certificate from the Treasury of the United States. While auctioneer Steven Bromberg says "I hope the piece will be purchased or donated to a public museum" he also says that he suspects it may end up on display in a Wall Street office or in the hands of an advanced banknote collector. When asked about the expected hammer price, Bromberg says he has "no idea what the item will bring" but that it is one of the most interesting lots he has ever handled. The historic certificate is being sold at auction without reserve.
The certificate is lot #2134 in the sale, to be held at the Hilton
Toronto hotel June 26th to 28th, 2014. Bidders can view images and bid live through www.cdncoin.com and iCollector.com.

It's never been done, until now. Lewis and Gilmer Counties will work together to build and operate one elementary school in the Linn area, on the Lewis-Gilmer County line. The school will replace the aging Alum Bridge and Troy Elementary Schools.
"It gives the children out there for several decades a beautiful new building that's safe, viable and conducive to education and learning," said Lewis County Superintendent Joe Mace.
The W.Va. School Building Authority decided to fully funding the project, which executive director Mark Manchin said is rare. It will cost more than $11 million.
"Two of the worst schools based on the facilities themselves are old and really deteriorating. Based on this project we were able to address two schools with one," said SBA Executive Director Mark Manchin.
The name, design and even the paint colors inside the new school will be decided by an advisory council with an equal number of members from each county.
"We can't put additional rooms on because of size constraints of where we are now. We're very limited at Alum Bridge School. So this opens up an opportunity to keep a neighborhood school concept," Mace said.
And for education officials around the state, the classroom learning makes the project worth the challenge of functioning with two counties.
"I'm going to be gone but this school's going to be there. And how it's governed and operated is made up of both counties," Mace said.
The school will open in the fall of 2014, Mace said.
The SBA is discussing similar projects with several other counties, Manchin said.

Doctors don't know what causes vulvar cancer, but they have identified many possible risk factors, including advancing age and infection with HPV.
Nearly 90 percent of vulvar cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Melanoma is the second most common type of vulvar cancer.
The best thing you can do to prevent vulvar cancer is to lower the risks you can control and to get regular gynecological exams. In some cases, doctors also recommend doing self-exams.

There's a depth of engineering to European cars that is at once reassuring and breathtaking. We almost take it for granted that when a car with, say, an AMG badge is launched, it will make serious power but won't be a grenade. How serious is serious? For the purposes of this list, the most powerful production cars, the 600 hp point is where the men say goodbye to the boys. Meet the men...
Koenigsegg CCXRWorried about the environment? How does an eco-friendly version of Koenigsegg's crazy CCX sound? The CCXR's 4.8-liter, dual-supercharged V8 runs on biofuel, E85 ethanol. And here's the really good news: it's more powerful than its regular gas-burning sibling (which already develops 806 hp). Because of the cooling properties of ethanol in the cylinder chamber, higher boost settings can be employed. Plus, the fuel has an octane rating of 113. Result? An astounding 1,018 hp. The petrol-powered CCX does zero to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, with a claimed top speed in excess of 245 mph, and despite it having more power, aerodynamics probably won't allow anything much faster than that for the R.
Ferrari 599 GTB FioranoIt says something when a name synonymous with power-a name associated throughout the world with motorsport and fast, exotic machinery-only just nudges into a roster of 600-plus-hp cars. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Modena's grand tourer, makes 612 hp from its 6.0-liter V12. However, zero to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of over 205 mph just ain't enough for some people.
Lamborghini Murcilago LP640It certainly looks like it should be capable of escape velocity. This combination of outrageous styling and ridiculous muscle is cause for celebration, for giving thanks that someone is in the business of constructing it. A 6.5-liter V12 kicks out 632 hp at a screaming 8000 rpm, going to an all-wheel-drive system with an electronic transmission. Launch control sends it whizzing to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and the LP640, the ultimate Murcilago, won't stop accelerating until it hits 219 mph.
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black SeriesIt's always nice to feature some fresh meat. The successor to the Mercedes-McLaren SLR is a fixed-roof version of the latest generation of Benz's well-known and well-loved SL. A straight-ahead AMG version is pleasant enough, but when the magic words "Black Series" are invoked, a different beast emerges. One that's lighter, with a body consisting mainly of carbon fiber and an engine (a twin-turbo, 6.0-liter V12) that makes it the most powerful production car to come from the three-pointed star: 670 hp.
Bristol Fighter TThat thing in the introduction about reassuring engineering? Maybe not so much in this case. Trouble is, it's hard to tell because Bristol is highly secretive about its manufacturing process. For all we know, the Fighter T could have been assembled by a handful of retired librarians in an old aircraft facility (Bristol used to make planes). And it doesn't seem like many people outside of the company has driven one. But since it has a twin-turbo 8.0-liter V10 making 1,012 hp and 1,036 lb-ft of torque, with a six-speed manual transmission claimed to be geared for 225 mph at 4200 rpm, that's a whole lot of fun much of the world is missing out on. But then, much of the world can't afford 351,931 (plus taxes).
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand SportYeah, we know all about the Veyron, so this is a good opportunity to feature the open-top version, to be known henceforth as the Grand Sport. It will be out in the spring of 2009 and will of course feature the same turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine, churning out 1,001 hp. Although the coupe version has a top speed of 253 mph, chances are that this model's maximum will be pegged at something like 217 mph. And it will cost about $250,000 more than the $2 million hard top. But it'll be the ultimate pose machine. Oh, and there are rumors of a 1,250hp, 274mph Veyron.
Brabus RocketFour doors, front-mounted engine, nice stereo, plenty of room in the trunk for a couple of sets of golf clubs. Yawn? No way, this is a Brabus (based on a Mercedes-Benz CLS). The engine displaces 6.3 liters and squeezes in a couple of turbochargers between the banks of its V12 configuration. A four-second sprint to 62 mph isn't so wild in this company, but 730 hp and a top speed of 227 mph is reason enough to call the car a Rocket.
Gumpert ApolloWe've already featured Roland Gumpert's carbon-fiber monster (european car, June 2008) that accelerates to 62 mph in the time it takes to beg for mercy from whatever deity is applicable. Which should be three seconds flat. A 4.2-liter Audi V8 augmented by a pair of turbos cooks up 650 hp and sends the Apollo through the speed traps at 224 mph. Gumpert used to work for Audi and oversaw the company's success in rallying. An 850-hp version is also on the drawing board.
Pagani Zonda F CSIt's not just VW that names cars after winds. The creation of Horacio Pagani (an Argentinian building his cars in northern Italy) is named after an airstream that blows over his native land. The F in the nomenclature refers to Juan Manuel Fangio. The Zonda straddles the divide between old-school supercars and hi-tech modern machines. It looks like an exotic should, and the cabin is particularly sumptious. But beneath the carbon-fiber skin is a 650-hp engine, sourced from AMG, that propels the Zonda to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and a maximum velocity of 215 mph. It could go faster, but this is with an optimum aerodynamic setup.
