On May 26, 1861, US Postmaster-General Blair issued an order suspending postal service in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas as of May 31.
Mail for the shuttered offices was to be forwarded to the dead letter office, except in Western Virginia, where mail was to be sent to Wheeling.
To cope with increased mail during the Civil War, says author Michael O. Varhola in Life in Civil War America, the US Postal Service began dividing mail into first-class, second-class and third-class.
Congress also authorized the use of postage stamps as change after the US stopped issuing coinage. Due to hoarding, coins nearly disappeared from circulation. When the gummed stamps proved hard to use and unpopular, Congress approved glueless stamps called "postal currency."

You can watch the show on VH1's website. If you watch, there are some bleeps in a rap at the beginning, but the rest of the show is clean. And good.
In the show, 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson), who grew up in New York City, travels to Edgefield, SC, where his mom's family came from. At a reunion, the family talks about what the segregated town was like in the 1950s.
50 visits Edgefield's genealogical society. The librarian (who had to have been briefed ahead of time, but did such a good job of being nonchalant that I wondered) pulls the WWI draft card of 50's grandfather Will Jenkins from a "Jenkins File" (the society keeps surname files on local families). She also helps 50 use the census on microfilm to find Will's father Peter, and Peter's mother Jane.
In the 1870 census, Jane was living with a local prominent citizen, probably her former slaveowner.
50 also visited the Old Edgefield Pottery museum, with vessels created by "Dave the Slave," who incorporated sayings and dates into his work. The proprietor refers to Dave as the first rapper.
The show didn't shy from a bit of confrontation: At Oakley Park Museum, 50 and a woman identified in a caption as being from the Daughters of the Confederacy discuss the symbolism of the Confederate flag.
She also tells him about the Red Shirts, a precursor to the Klu Klux Klan, and advises him to study history to learn about "Mongolian slaves" in South Carolina. Interesting. There's some uncomfortable giggling when 50 gently challenges her about these slaves and how slaves were treated.
Later, at the Edgefield County Archives, the archivist shows 50 the slave inventory for Jane's owner, R.G.M. Dunovant, son-in-law of prominent citizen Whitfield Brooks. The archivist finds a reference to Jane, daughter of Adrene, in Whitfield's will. If that's 50's Jane, Adrene is his fourth-great-grandmother.
The archivist introduces 50 to a woman who's researching what she calls the brutal side of slavery. In contrast to the woman he met earlier, she acknowledges the treatment of local slaves and gives an example from a coroner's report detailing the death of a slave.
50 next meets a Dunovant descendant, who asks 50 about his career, compliments his song "In Da Club" (the one that says "Go shorty/It's your birthday") and gives him a piece of Edgefield pottery. 50 says it's a turnaround from the days his family talked about, when black people always used the back door at whites' homes.
You don't have to be a fan of rap or a member of VH1's typical demographic to like this show. 50 Cent has a tough image as a rapper, but you don't see that here. To me, the show feels a little younger and a little less refined than 'Who Do You Think You Are?" which makes it very approachable. You learn about both one person's genealogy and how it ties into what was happening locally and across the country.
For some behind-the-scenes insight, here's a Vanity Fair article by David Kamp, the writer who did the genealogy research.

In part 2 of the message "The Need for the Gospel: Man's Condition," Pastor Mike shares the good news of the Gospel as Paul presents it in Ephesians 2:4-6. God expresses His great mercy, love, and grace in the salvation of the sinner: the power of grace is evident in the stark contrast presented in these verses and the preceding opening verses (vv. 1-3). Believing sinners are granted not only a new nature but a new way of life, a new standing with God and new privileges to enjoy.

Landing people on Mars: 5 obstacles
Getting a six-wheeled car-size rover safely onto the surface of the red planet? Daunting, sure. But NASA did it with Curiosity.
Sending humans on a mission to Mars? That requires overcoming even more outlandish obstacles.
Here's a look at five of the top challenges to safely getting astronauts to Mars, as well as potential solutions.
Are we there yet?
Problem: Trip time.
A round-trip human expedition to Mars, using current technology, could take two to three years. The slower you go, the more supplies you are forced to take and the higher the odds of a catastrophic collision with a meteoroid. Astronauts would lose more muscle and bone mass as a result of the longer stay in microgravity. And they would be exposed to larger doses of cosmic rays and solar energetic particles, increasing the probability of cancer.
"The main concern is clearly the radiation exposure to the human crew during such long journeys in deep space," said former astronaut Franklin Chang-Diaz, who shares the world record for most space flights — seven — with Jerry Ross.
"The long voyages in weightlessness are bound to substantially debilitate the crew," he added. "At Mars arrival, they must have a way to rehabilitate themselves before going to work, a tall order for the first mission in a very hostile environment."
Solution: Speed up the trip.
"All of these issues are greatly ameliorated with significant reductions in interplanetary transit time, which could be possible with advanced propulsion systems, potentially far more capable than the chemical and nuclear thermal rockets being considered," said Chang-Diaz, an MIT-trained physicist.
Chang-Diaz is developing an advanced plasma propulsion system that would cut the round-trip time on Mars missions to five months. The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket uses magnetic fields to guide superhot plasma out of an engine nozzle, producing an immense amount of thrust. A one-year trip to Mars could be cut to just 39 days.
Chang-Diaz said advanced high-power electric propulsion and nuclear electric power systems "could revolutionize in-space transportation by greatly reducing the interplanetary transit time."
The Big C
Problem: Cancer.
Astronauts traveling to Mars, or working on its surface, will be exposed to potentially high doses of galactic cosmic rays and what scientists call "solar particle events" — solar flares that spew highly energetic particles into interplanetary space. Galactic cosmic rays and solar flares create radiation that would increase the chance of an astronaut getting cancer. Genetic defects in offspring, and even death, also are possibilities.
Solution: Shielding.
Spacecraft propelling astronauts to Mars — and habitats on its surface — must be equipped with shielding sufficient to block space radiation.
Conventional aluminum shielding would have to be thick and, consequently, too heavy, thus, impractical. A better choice might be water, which absorbs radiation.
"One concept would be to have the walls be where you store your water — your water storage tanks," said Don Hassler of Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo.
A regenerative water recovery system, like the one on the International Space Station, would be required to replenish tanks. Liquid hydrogen fuel also provides good shielding.
On the Martian surface: Soil, dust, rocks and pulverized rocks around the landing site would be dug up and used to sheath aluminum or inflatable habitats. Spacesuits worn during sorties outside habitats might require modification to provide radiation protection. Solid water jackets might be worn beneath spacesuits, and a thin layer of polyethylene could be used in suits. Helmet visors would be coated to reduce the chance of cataracts.
Sex in the solar system
Problem: Human nature.
Sex in space is a subject that has fascinated people ever since men and women started flying together in low-Earth orbit. Cramped quarters in Russian Soyuz spacecraft and U.S. space shuttle orbiters, relatively short flights and the extreme level of professionalism among astronauts and cosmonauts make it unlikely. But the International Space Station is as big as a five-bedroom house. Four- to six-month flights now are the norm, and round-trip missions to Mars could be much, much longer.
Solution: Can we talk?
Sex in space might seem like a frivolous subject, but it's actually a big deal. It's human nature. Let's face it. So says none-other-than the National Academy of Sciences, an independent group of distinguished scholars that advises the U.S. government on matters of scientific research, engineering and technology.
"Ignoring the potential consequences of human sexuality is not appropriate when considering extended-duration missions," an academy committee said in a 2008 report.
The committee reviewed NASA's Bioastronautics Roadmap — a document that examines crew health and performance issues for missions beyond Earth orbit — and determined that human sexuality was given no consideration.
"This oversight should be corrected," the committee said. "Areas of concern for the 30-month Mars mission include the potential psychological and physiological consequences of sexual activity, consequences that could endanger life, crew cohesion, performance and mission success."
Cosmic kryptonite
Problem: Zero G.
The lack of gravity in transit — and reduced gravitational forces on the surface of Mars — could be cosmic kryptonite to even the most invulnerable of astronauts.
Long stays in a microgravity environment, or a reduced gravitational environment, could severely weaken explorers on Martian expeditions.
Bone and muscle mass will be lost at alarming rates. The cardiovascular, pulmonary and immune systems will weaken. Vision could be impaired. The vestibular system will be all out of whack, and balance could be off as a result.
Solution: Flying gymnasiums, pharmaceuticals, spinning spaceships.
Exercise, and a lot of it, is one of the best ways to combat the medical maladies caused by lengthy stints in microgravity.
On board the International Space Station, astronauts spend two hours a day walking and running on a treadmill, riding an exercise bike, working out with a resistive exercise machine, trying to ward off the ill effects of living and working in weightlessness.
Station crews also adhere to strict diets that are analyzed by nutritionists. Flight surgeons prescribe medicines to counteract bone loss. Nutritional supplements are added to diets when needed.
Medical research on the station will help scientists find ways to fix the problems.
"We call them countermeasures to treat the crew members or help the crew members overcome those challenges so that they can be healthy when they arrive, ready to do a mission at a new planet," said NASA Space Station Program scientist Julie Robinson.
A rotating spacecraft would create artificial gravity that would keep astronauts in tip-top shape. But that idea still remains the fictional stuff of books and movies.
You can't take it (all) with you
Problem: Provisioning an expedition.
Escaping Earth's gravity well remains a feat that nearly exceeds the capability of human engineers. Launching supplies into Earth orbit also costs millions and millions of dollars per mission. For instance: Rocketing four McDonald's Quarter Pounders With Cheese would cost roughly $10,000. On average, that's about the cost of launching a pound of payload into orbit.
So limiting the amount of supplies hauled along on a trip to Mars is important to making such a mission affordable.
Solution: Live off the Martian land.
Use the planet's natural resources, and its thin atmosphere, to significantly reduce the amount of fuel and supplies that must be shipped from Earth, at great expense, to sustain an expedition.
Give an astronaut a salad, and he will eat for a day. Teach them to grow lettuce, peas and radishes hydroponically, and a space garden could help feed astronauts on a Martian expedition.
Power a spacecraft with chemical propellants, and astronauts can fly back to Earth from Mars. Teach them to turn carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere into liquid methane, and they can manufacture some of the rocket propellant needed to fly home.
Haul water across interplanetary space, and astronauts have a chance to survive in a hostile environment. Teach them to turn ice at the Martian poles into water, and you cut mission costs significantly, making expeditions more affordable.

What do you think of a young child, 2 years old, being allowed to watch their parent play a video game from the Call of Duty series?
Here is a synopsis of the games from Wikipedia:
The earlier games in the series are set primarily in World War II; starting with Modern Warfare, set in modern times, the series has shifted focus away from World War II.Modern Warfare was followed by Modern Warfare 2, set in modern times, and Black Ops, set during the Cold War. Modern Warfare 3, also set in modern times (as the name suggests), was released on 8 November 2011.
The games are shooters, and are rated M for mature.
Here are some screenshots from the series:
^^That is Fidel Castro
Would you allow your toddler to watch you or your spouse play this game? If you found out your spouse had been letting your toddler watch while you played this game, what would you do?

Sleep and Sleepiness in Insomnia Phenotypes of Shift Work Disorder
by Valentina Gumenyuk, Ph.D.
This study found that among employees that work overnight hours, there is a higher amount of people who may suffer from symptoms of insomnia and/or excessive sleepiness. The circadian mismatch between working "night" hours and sleeping during the day may contribute to the global problem with workers that have non-typical work schedules. Specifically, the study is demonstrating that insomnia in night workers is related to "brain hyperarousal," a condition found to be similar in individuals who work during the day who experience symptoms of physiological insomnia and the inability to sleep normally. There is scientific evidence of the study supporting that night workers who suffer insomnia will not sleep well even during their nights off from work. read more›
It's Not Too Late To Get A Flu Shot
Here at Meadowlands Hospital we are very serious about vaccinating people for Influenza (Flu). It is a nasty disease that tends to last about 8 months throughout the year in most places. As common as the flu may be, this doesn't make it any safer. Many people die every year from this illness, which is why getting vaccinated is very important.

Imperial Ave murders rally
(Cleveland) A cry for peace in the location of 11 brutal murders discovered four years ago. On Tuesday night the somber anniversary of the Imperial Avenue murders of Anthony Sowell was marked with a rally to stop violence against women.
Several activist groups including Black on Black Crime, the Cleveland NAACP, The Cleveland Chapter of the New Black Panther Party and Peace in the Hood participated.
During the rally several local leaders spoke about the importance of protecting women. Among them, Cleveland City Councilmen Zack Reed and Ken Johnson, Candidate for Mayor of Cleveland Ken Lanci, And President of the Naacp Rev. Helm Smith.
Victims of violence and families of murder victims also spoke. The key-note speaker was Yvonne Pointer who's daughter Gloria was raped and murdered at age 14 back in 1984.
Since Gloria's death Yvonne has dedicated her life to helping other victim of violence. She said she can't wait until the day we speak about the lives of the women killed on Imperial Avenue, not the way they died. Pointer also joined others in saying the community needs to work together to make sure this never happens again. Get breaking news sent to your mobile phone.Text "news" to 21095.

Reusing functionEdit
One of my first questions is the usage of SkipJavaBlanksAndComments in this indent file. This function is defined in the Java indent file, but it is useful in the JavaFX indent file, since the comment types are identical. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, so I tried to use it and ended up making a copy of the function in my own indent file. Is there a way to simply reuse the existing version of the function without copying it?
Black panda 14:22, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
- I do not have an authoritative answer, but I imagine in practice it would be better to duplicate the function as you have done. The cost of duplication is not high (although I fully understand the mistakes of repeating code), whereas having a JavaFX script dependent on a Java script would be awkward. Vim cannot use a function unless the script defining that function has been sourced. You could have code that sources indent/java.vim (while catching errors), and you could then use the function because it is global, but that's ugly. If you start Vim with no Java file loaded (start editing a .txt file), you can type :function Skip then press Tab to verify that no Skip* function is defined. If you now edit something.java and repeat, you will find that the function exists (and :scriptnames would show that indent/java.vim has been loaded). JohnBeckett 06:30, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with JohnBeckett, duplication here is the way to go. To avoid the duplication (and do it right), you would have to collaborate with the author of indent/java.vim and extract the function to a separate autoload script, which then would have to be maintained jointly. Not worth it for such a small function.
- You could make the SkipJavaBlanksAndComments() script-local by prefixing it with s: to better indicate that this is a private function. This is recommended for all internal script functions. -- Inkarkat 11:05, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
- I decided to rename the function s:SkipJavaFxBlanksAndComments. This breaks the association with the Java version, in case that one changes. I also updated the indent script to deal with lines with closing brackets on their own and other minor idiosyncrasies. Hopefully people will continue to test it, as I am doing with various JavaFX files. By the way, is there a way to make the markup for displayed code have a larger font size? I can barely read the stuff between the tt and pre tags. Black panda 15:19, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
- I think you just need to change your font size in your browser for monospace fonts. It looks fine for me. For some reason a lot of browsers default to something ridiculously small for monospace. --Fritzophrenic 16:17, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
- Groan. I remember that I once had that problem where code on various web sites (not wikis) was absurdly small. I have a vague feeling that Internet Explorer used some personal css settings that could be customised, but there is too much garbage on the net now to find anything useful, and I have totally forgotten. I have not seen the problem since switching to Firefox some years ago, and I don't think I have tweaked anything much in Firefox. We really should try to find some info on this. Perhaps we can fix the problem by some code in Mediawiki:Common.css, because it will affect other users. JohnBeckett 00:46, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Two errors in the script Edit
Using MacVim and two lines cause error messages in my setup.
First, function! s:SkipJavaFxBlanksAndComments(startline) After I removed "s:" no more error messages for this line. Apparently, the syntax doesn't like "s:" before the function name.
Second, if getline(earlier_prev) !~ '[\w\s],\s*$' And this one I can't fix.
Because of these errors, the script is unusable for me. Could you correct these.
Thanks for the script!
- What version of "MacVim" are you using? I don't have a Mac, so I can't speak to this, so I'll ask for help. Inkarkat, why doesn't the "s:" prefix work for "MacVim"? Also, according to a comment on the main article, !~ does not work, but != does work. I assume that person also used "MacVim", or was the !~ syntax introduced in a later version? How would I future proof the script for an outdated version of Vim? --Black panda 19:59, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
- Black panda, you've only applied the "s:" prefix to the function definition, not to the calls. I've fixed that for you. Regarding the !~, this is the correct syntax, and it has been in Vim since version 6. -- Inkarkat 20:44, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
To the OP who reported the error Please reply here letting us know the result. Can you use the script as it appears in the tip now? As Inkarkat says, the second problem you mentioned is valid syntax and should work (see :help expr4). If you still have a problem, please say exactly what happens. Is there an error (entering command :messages in Vim might help)? What is the error exactly? JohnBeckett 09:25, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
Working now! Edit
Black panda and Inkarkat,
I am the poster of both of the posts. Magically your single correction fixed both errors. I don't know how it happen, perhaps my removal of s: caused the second error. Unfortunately, I am too new to vim and javafx to fully understand the cause. Anyhow, it works now. Many thanks indeed for your effort!
On a different subject, do you also maintain the syntax script for javafx? The closest I could get is here: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1943 But, this script has some issues, too. E.g., it doesn't highlight "def" keyword, some well know types etc.
- Hi Anonymous. You might consider emailing the author of that script (which is not me) and letting him know what's wrong. You could also try and fix it yourself, but please share it with others. Don't keep it to yourself. --Black panda 20:14, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
Another bug? Edit
Here's me again, still testing the script and seemingly stumbled upon another bug. Please see below code after "gg=G".
class Capitalization { function capitalize(s: String) { "{s.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()}{s.substring(1, s.length()).toLowerCase()}"; } } function run(args: String[]) { def c=Capitalization {}; println(c.capitalize("test")); }
As you can see on the 4th line the closing bracket is at the same level as the previous line while it should be at the same level as "function". The fifth line should be at the same level as "class".
The run function block is top level and so should start at the leftmost column.
And lastly, println line got indented though should not be.
Just guessing (please don't shoot me), it looks like indentation logic breaks after lines which contain opening and closing curly braces on the same line, i.e. 3rd and 7th.
Just in case, I am running MacVim 7.2 snapshot 51 (64bit Cocoa on Snow Leopard). And by the way, the code compiles OK.
Thanks for looking into this!
- This is the initial fix. There was an error in the logic of the property detection, and also I didn't take into consideration that code could be interpreted in the strings of JavaFX. There is more work to be done, but this is my first attempt. Let me know what else needs fixing, as well as any ideas as to how to fix it. --Black panda 20:09, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Date: November 30 2012
Australian bond futures prices are higher, driven by renewed expectations of a central bank rate cut.
At 1630 AEDT on Friday, the December 10-year bond futures contract was at 96.915 (implying a yield of 3.085 per cent), up from 96.860 (3.140 per cent) on Thursday.
The December three-year bond futures contract was trading at 97.380 (2.620 per cent), up from 97.330 (2.670 per cent).
Nomura rates strategist Martin Whetton said bonds had continued to rise after a weak reading for capital expenditure on Thursday.
"We're a lot higher today - it's just continuing on from yesterday, because there's nothing going on offshore," he said.
Capital expenditure numbers on Thursday showed mining companies slashing their spending plans for the current financial year by 8.1 per cent, or $9.6 billion.
The private sector overall planned to cut its capital expenditure by $5.9 billion or 3.3 per cent compared to three months ago - the biggest such revision in the survey's history.
Mr Whetton said this had fuelled a rise in the expectation that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) would cut the cash rate at its board meeting next week.
The cash rate is currently 3.25 per cent, after the RBA elected not to cut at its meeting on November 6.

'Esche nearly stole a victory for the Flyers in the opener. "It was a tough way to lose," Knuble said after the game. But if the Sabres fail to capitalize on most of their scoring chances against the red-hot Esche, they could endure the tough loss in Game 2. That would send them to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Wednesday without home-ice advantage.'

Lloyd Millard Bentsen, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, U.S. Senator and Representative, businessman, Texas county judge, and decorated World War Two veteran, was born in Mission, Texas, on February 11, 1921. He ran for Vice-President of the United States in 1988 on the Democratic ticket with then Massachusettes governor Michael Dukakis. He served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1994. Bentsen kept up a full schedule until 1998, when he retired after a decline in his health. He died on May 23, 2006.
Correspondence, printed material, creative works, legal documents, financial documents, minutes, photographic materials, sound recordings, and works of art make up the papers of Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr. (1930-1994, bulk 1971-1993). Bentsen and his staff created the bulk of the material during his term as United States Senator from Texas (1971-1993), though the papers also contain records from Bentsen's term as United States Secretary of the Treasury (1993-1994). A limited amount of the material documents Bentsen's career in business and his private life. Few records exist from his term in the United States House of Representatives (1948-1955).
The material is organized in ten subgroups. The first seven subgroups consist of records from Bentsen's Senate offices.
Casework and personnel files are restricted for 75 years after creation, up to the year 2068.
Use of some audio and video materials is by appointment only; please contact sound archivist.
Use of digital material by appointment only; please contact digital archivist.
A portion of these papers is stored remotely. Advance notice required for retrieval. Contact repository for retrieval.
Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr., Papers, 1921-1998, Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin
Click on a subgroup link below to view the detailed inventory for that subgroup.
Projects and casework were the primary Constituent Service work of Senator Bentsen's staff. Typical projects, undertaken on behalf of groups, municipalities, or the state itself, included efforts to receive federal grants or designations, to gain inclusion in federal programs, and to affect the decisions of federal agencies. Cases involved specific individuals requiring assistance with Federal agencies and government departments, such as the Veterans and Social Security Administrations; the Internal Revenue Service; Immigration and Naturalization Service; Departments of Agriculture, Health, Education, Welfare, Justice and Labor; and branches of the armed forces.
Staff in Bentsen's Austin office performed most casework and project work. Dallas staff managed some local cases. The State Director, reporting to the Administrative Assistant, supervised the work. Bentsen's Administrative Assistant handled some special constituent problems personally.
Other routine constituent services included applications to the military service academies, coordinated by Houston staff, and routine congratulatory correspondence, managed by Dallas staff.
Project Files created by Bentsen's Constituent Services staff include correspondence, reference and research materials, and administrative documents. The files provide an overview of the sorts of projects Texas communities undertook during Bentsen's term, as well as the methods and relationships Bensten's staff drew on to assist them.
Because of their private nature, individual case files are closed for 75 years from date of creation. The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History did not retain service academy files.
For routine constituent correspondence, see Correspondence Subgroup.
Project Files created by Bentsen's Constituent Services staff include internal memos and correspondence with constituents and state and federal agencies, printed material such as reports and clippings, photographic materials, legal documents, and cartographic materials. Three series: Water resources projects, 1971-1979; Sequentially filed projects, 1971-1989; Project files arranged by county, 1982-1992.
The separate water resources project files may reflect Bentsen's membership in the Public Works Committee (renamed Environment and Public Works in 1977), which considered appropriations for such projects. The Sequentially filed projects series contains the bulk of the files. Staff assigned each case a descriptive title and a reference number, by which the files are organized in their particular year. In the reference number, the digits after the hyphen represent the year of the project (e.g., 1-77 for the first project in 1977).
Typically, the files include a coversheet, which lists actions taken by Bentsen's office on different dates. The later files often also include "snapshots" printed from the office computer system used to track case and project work. These documents state the status of the project, contacts made at federal agencies, actions taken, and the names and addresses of involved constituents. Some projects, such as the unsuccessful effort to prevent the closure of Ellington Air Force Base (1974-1981), involved many staff over a long period of time. In contrast, "one-shot" projects required only a single telephone call or letter to close.
The contents of the files vary. Generally, they include correspondence with constituents and administrators in federal agencies. Many of the files include the CMS work orders for Bentsen's correspondence. Occasionally, the constituent's original contact included printed material, such as reports and clippings. Some of the files include notes created by the staff member who worked on the project. Other materials in the files can include photographic materials, legal documents, and cartographic materials. In a few instances, legislative staff became involved in the project and their communication with the Senator is documented.
Lists and reports tracking project work can be found in the Austin office files, including several card files indexing projects 1971-1989.

PURPOSE: In light of the need for new treatment options for patients with previously treated CTCL, the purpose of this multinational, non randomized, phase II study is to assess the efficacy of oral LBH589 as single agent in patients with CTCL whose disease has progressed following or has not responded to at least two prior systemic treatment regimens.
Key Eligibility Criteria: Inclusion
1. Written informed consent obtained prior to any screening procedures
2. Age ≥ 18 years old
3. Patients with biopsy-confirmed mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome stages IB-IVA. Patients who have SS with bone marrow involvement are also eligible. Patients with transformed CTCL are eligible. Disease stage for eligibility is based on the stage at time of study enrollment. However, patients with any history of visceral involvement of their CTCL will not be eligible for this study.
4. Patients must have received at least two prior treatment regimens at least one of which was a systemic therapy regimens. Systemic regimens include oral bexarotene, PUVA, photophoresis, oral corticosteroids, total skin electron bean therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy such as methotrexate, biological response modifiers such as and interferon. Topical steroids alone are not considered as a treatment regimen.
5. Patients must have had disease progression on or following their most recent treatment regimen. Patients are also eligible if they had an inadequate response to their most recent treatment regimen defined as stable disease as the best response after at least 3 months of therapy.
6. Patients will be accrued to one of two groups:
• Group 1: Patients previously treated with oral bexarotene. This group includes patients who had:
1. Disease progression on following treatment oral bexarotene, OR
2. An inadequate response to oral bexarotene treatment defined as stable disease as the best response after at least 3 months of treatment, OR
3. Intolerance of oral bexoratene defined as patients who discontinued oral bexoratene treatment due to adverse events.
• Group 2: Patients who have not had prior oral bexarotene treatment.
Please contact the study site to see if you meet the other criteria for this study.

Every time I look around, I find another article about what happiness can do for someone. The most recent reported that happiness can actually help people make more money (according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).
"Whether smart or simple, tall or short, self-confident or insecure, happier people earned bigger paychecks than more doleful peers: Deeply unhappy teens' future incomes were 30 percent lower than the average, while very happy teems earned 10percent above average."
While this study shows that the outward expression of happiness can benefit our pocketbooks, there is also evidence showing its value to health and our general well-being.
In a recent lecture by Dr. Andrew Weil, noted leader in integrated medicines, he described the term "infectious happiness" as an emotion that can spread from person to person. Weil further stated, "that there is no question that who you choose to associate with can raise or lower your spirits, make you happy or sad, calm or anxious, comfortable or uncomfortable." These are qualities that translate directly to being healthy or unhappy and these infectious happiness qualities can be quantified.
According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, if a person lives less than a half mile from a happy friend, he would have a 42 percent greater chance of being happy. This same infectious happiness can ripple through groups and organizations, and has a profound effect on the happiness of those individuals.
Happiness not only affects the external environment of relationships with others and increased financial success, but also generates a healthier body and mind. Recent studies indicate that much of true satisfaction and well-being come from within, and that one is not born happy or unhappy - it is mostly a developed or a learned trait.
How can that be? We get a glimpse of how in a study by Professor Robert A. Emmons, a UC Davis psychologist and editor in chief of the Journal of Positive Psychology. He has found that "those who regularly practice grateful thinking improved their happiness score by 25 percent. Since being grateful improves one's happiness, so do these same qualities reportedly have a positive effect on one's health."
Evidence continues to mount that thought affects the body, especially qualities like gratitude, which researchers see as a rapidly growing field of study. Some say improved health and happiness may result more from increased spirituality and less from external materialistic achievements. How, then, would one improve or increase his spirituality? Author Maggie Lyon in an article titled, "Making Room for Spiritual Practice," defines spiritual practice as something you do every single day that draws you deeper into who you really are, by connecting you with your divine self.
Being an advocate of this type of spiritual practice for decades, I agree with her description of the discipline it takes. "You must designate, carve out, and stick to the time for it, often letting go of something else in order to keep it alive. Many people find it easiest to maintain a practice first thing in the morning. But what does that mean you give up? Sleep? Or is it the extra hour on the computer before bed the night before so that you don't lose the time in bed?"
I have a set study time each morning for reading and studying from Scripture as well as a book titled "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" written by Mary Baker Eddy, along with quiet time for prayer. I can quantify the improvement of my personal health and happiness by using this consistent practice to develop my spirituality.

PHILADELPHIA – One day after suffering its first loss of the season, fifth-ranked Penn (5-1, 1-1 Ivy) came back in a big way with a 9-0 thrashing of No. 8 Dartmouth (3-3, 0-3) on Sunday at the Ringe Squash Courts. The Quakers got back into the win column, winning every match in straight games, which has been the norm this season other than Saturday's loss to Harvard.
In the first rotation of matches, Penn wasted no time getting off to a quick start. The first match to conclude was at position six where Camille Lanier (4-0, 1-0) made quick work of Dartmouth's Kensy Balch. Tri-captain Stephanie Vogel (4-0, 1-0) got into the action at No. 9 against Helena Darling after competing in an exhibition match on Saturday against Harvard. Vogel's first game moved like clockwork, and she followed that with two tough wins to take the match. Haidi Lala (4-0, 2-0) moved to the No. 3 position a day after making her Ivy debut at No. 4 on Saturday. The freshman bested Nina Scott, 11-4, in the first two games, and fought off a tough comeback in the third game, winning the match with a 15-13 third-game victory.
The second rotation saw Courtney Jones (3-1, 1-1) top Katherine Nimmo easily at No. 5, followed by Chloe Blacker (6-0, 2-0) defeating Lydie McKenzie in straight games at No. 8. All-American Rachael Goh (4-1, 1-1) moved up to No. 2 for the day and took down Melina Turk. Goh won a hard fought first game, 13-11, and then finished off the match with two easy games.
In the last rotation, Penn already had a 6-0 lead and was looking to go in and seal the clean sweep, its fifth of the season. Yarden Odinak (2-1, 1-1) finished first, topping Sarah Loucks at No. 4. She was followed by Ailsa Agnew (5-1, 1-1) at No. 7, and the freshman bested Victoria Dewey, with all three games coming down to the wire. The last match of the day was at position one between Yan Xin (4-1, 1-1) – she was at No. 1 as Nabilla Ariffin had the day off – and Corey Schafer. After taking Harvard's Laura Gemmell, one of the country's top collegiate women's players, to the brink in a five-game match that she ultimately lost on Saturday, Xin followed it up with a dominant victory over the Big Green.
The Quakers will be back in action on Jan. 16 when they hit the road in Lancaster, Pa. for a 6:00 p.m. match against No. 15 Franklin & Marshall.

NEWMARKET, ON, Canada -- Beaver Machine Corp. is now offering a coin mechanism that can be installed into Gacha bulk vending machines. Beaver's Gacha coin mech kit was released last year in limited numbers, and the manufacturer said it has received good feedback from operators.
The coin mech retrofit kit installs Beaver's New Generation (NG) mechanism in a Gacha machine, made by the former Tomy-Yujin Corp. The upgrade will improve Gacha's money-handling accuracy at points of sale and longevity on vending routes.
Beaver's NG coin mechanisms feature a clutch handle to protect against internal damage that may be caused by forced turns and other factors. According to the manufacturer, NG coin mechanisms can gauge the width and diameter of coins more accurately than any other rotary mech on the market. These features will help keep aging Gacha venders in good working order, the manufacturer noted.
The Gacha vending machine consists of four heads unified beneath a display case. Each head can hold approximately 120 capsules, 2" in diameter. The display shows consumers exactly what they are buying, helping to increase sales. Multiple units can be linked together by plates to create an impressive vending bank.
The machine was made by Japanese toy giant Tomy Co. Ltd., which shuttered its North American vending division, Tomy-Yujin, in 2009. Tomy put the vending business under the direction of its European division, which formed Gacha International to handle machine parts, support and sales.
Founded in 1963 as Machine-O-Matic, Beaver manufactures bulk venders, coin mechanisms and equipment stands.
