Tbi SooreUry entertains tbe opinion tbat if a
credit circulation in any form be desirable, it
is most desirable lo this. ' Tbe notes thus issued
aud secured would, In his judgment,! form the

joyed; while their roceivability for all govern ,

Tb whole cireulatlon ot the country, exoept
a Uotited amosut of foreign coin, would, after

present tha nation, whether in coin or notes;
while the amount of tbe latter, always easily
ascertainable, acd, of course, always generally
known, would not bo likely to be increased be
yond th renl wants of business.
i H 'expresses afl opinion In' fa vot bf this plan
with the greater confidence, because it has the
advantage ot Yecommcudatioo from experience
It la not au nntried theory. In tbe State of New
York and In one or more of the ether States it
has been sabfeeted, In Its most essential srtsj
to- tbo 4st of experiment, sod has been found
practicable and useful. Th probabilities of
uecew will not be dimintsned but increased ty
its adoption nnder national sanctlon-and for tho
whole country, ,1
- It owlv remains to add that the plan Is recom
mended by on other consideration, which, in
the judgment ot the Secretary, Is entitled to
much influence. - It avoids almost, if not alto
gether, tba evils bf a groat and sudden change
In the currency by offering inducements to sot
vent existing institutions to withdraw the c'irou
ratios Issued under State authority; and substi
tuta that provided by tha authority of the Union,
Thus, through tb voluntary kctlon of the ex
isting Institutions, aided by wise legislation, the
groat transition front's, currency heterogeneous,
noenual. and unsafe
, to one c".;cra, cquai ana
safe, may be speedily and almost imperceptibly
aocompnsbed. - , , .
i 'Tf1he Secretary Las bmted tbs discussion ol
the question of the constitutional power of Con
gress to put this plan in operation, it ia because

altlon that the power to regulate commerce and

submitted, showing the amount of the public
debt in each year, from 1791 to lool, inclusive.
The Secretary, believing that tbe iraokeat is
tbe wisest policy for nations aa well as individ
uals, has thought it bis duty to submit to Con
gress this plain statement of the financial con
dition ot, the country ' That it imposes consid
erable burdens ts not tb be denied or disgnised.
It is consoling to know that the energies and
resources of the people ars not insufficient for
tbem. ' The public debt on the 1st of July, 1863,
if tho war be protracted until that time, on the
scale of expenses contemplated by the estimates,
will be, In round numbers, nine hundred millions
of dollars. - Tbe amount of the public debt in the
year 1816 was 1127,334,933 74, and in twenty
yeara it was paid off by the people. ., The coun
try, eved if tbe loyal rJta'.ee only are regarded,
can sustain and pay off In thirty years tbe debt
to which rebellion now exposes os with hardly
greater proportional contributions from increas
ed aad increasing resources than that debt made
necessary.' " " ' ' " '" .
- It will be for the wisdom of Congress to de
termine how far the annual and aggregate bur
dens of the people shall be diminished byre
tronohment, by economy, by prudeut yet vigor
ous adjustment of means to ends, snd by just
contributions from rebel property." " Nothing
more certainly enhances credit and improves re
sources than the reduction of wants .and wise
energy In'adminlstratlon. ' , ;..; I
Tho Secretary forbears making any recom
mendation concerning the authorities with which
it may be expedient to Invest him in respect to
future loam. He begs leave to refer this mat
ter altogether to tho better judgment of Con
gress, suggesting only that, wbat-ver discre
tion it may be thought prudent to give him in
other respects, the rate of interest be limited by
law. -.' ' , ..
Turning from tho more immediate consider
atlon of tba trablid finances, tbe Secretary so
licits the attention of Congress to some other
topies connected with tbe administration of tbo
By tbo act of Congress Of July 13, 1861, com
mercial intercourse, with States declared to be
in insurrection by the President, was prohibit
ed. and the Secretary of the Treasury was au
thorised to establish such rules and, regulations
as he might deem expedient 10 accordance
with whteb, nnder license from tbe Presidout,
a restricted trade might be conducted. Upon full
consideration of the - whole subject, it has not
been deemed advisable as yet to establish any
general rules and regulations for such a trade. Jn
a 'few instances; special licenses have been
granted to eonvey particular articles of proper
ty Into insurrectionary States, and to carry on a
limited trade with parts of Eastern Virginia in
habited by loyal people; but, with these incon
siderable exceptions, it has been hitherto thought
best to enforce the prohibition to tbe full extent
of the act. As the act itself, however, does
not seem to contemplate the forfeiture ' of pro
perty, unless used fur tbe purposes of tbe rebel
lion, or found in transit to or from insurrection
ary Ststes, its execution has not been extended
beyond tbat intent. - " ' ",'iJ ,,
To avoid, aa tar as possiDie, tne practical in
convenience of this suspension of commerce,
tbs Secretary, with (he approbation of the Pres
ident, has established regulations, in accordance
with which cotton, rice and other property will
be collected aud cared for by agents of tbe de
partment in Insurrectionary districts' occupied ,
by troops of tbe Onion, and will be forwarded
by aea to New York. All sales will be made
for account of tbe government', and the pro
ceeds paid Into the national treasury, subject to
any just claims of loyal citizens. This arrange
ment Mttf course, temporary In Its nature.
As a eeneral rule, m tbe judgment or tne sec
retary, commerce should follow tho flag; and
whenever the authority of the Union ts fully re
stored In districts sufficiently extensive for the
re establishment of loyal State government,
affording due security against abuse of trade in
famishing aid and comfort to rebellion, tbe
ports should bs opened without restriction, ar.d
all commerce freely permitted. L:' ".''.'
With aview to reformation or abnses and re
duction of expenses, tbe Secretary has canted
moot of the collection districts la all the States
and Territotiea not under Insurrectionary con
tral tab visited by an officer of bis department.
Their inquiries bare led to the abolition of some
of&oefl, and a redaction of the allowance and
compensation-HO' -the lueumbetita of others,
amounting' to $75,095 annually. "This sum,
with too temporary reduction of annual ex
ponded, oceafet.-ned by tha suspension of official
dutie"io 'the' rebellious States, amounting to
$644,141.68, Will more than suffice for all the
sxpenses'krieiug dnder the act of Jaly for the
additional agent Inspector, and aids; required
for Ita dud execution and tbe prevention of ille
gal trafflo. -. ,-.-r :t; ;;;!."'
Th thu fcoiiriectlon the Secretary asks permis
sion to direct tbe attention' of Congress to', the
fact tbat surveyors of ports at several pomvs in
.ha Mtanlaainnl valley are almost' exclusively
copied by tboir duties nnder ths act of July,

has been hitherto impracticable to adjuat and pay

As tbe law did not seem to contemplate tbe
continued action of State officers for federal
objeota, but confined the appropriation made by
it to expenses inourred, leaving expenses to be
incurred to tbe action of fedtral officers witbin

has not thought himself authorized to settle is

for advances actually made, or at least contract
ed tor prior to its paesige. All otner claims
are, and will be, referred to. tbo War Depart
ment for sanction and requisition, unless Con
gress shall be pleased to direct otherwise.
Anactot tne last Congress authorized tbe
payment of claims, allowed for certain services
and expenses in Oregon and Washington, to be
made by the issue of bonds of the United
States, bearing six per cent, interest, and paya
ble twenty years after date. The Secretary
most respectfully asks the attention of Congress
tb the injurious influences of authorizing such
issues for such purposes. - Claims are easily al
lowed when payment is to be 'made otherwise
than in money, and bonds Issued for claims are
apt to come into the market in competition with
bonds Issued for loans, to tbe serious pre)udioe
of tbe publio crdt. .That no important injury
has resulted from tbo aot just referred to U to
be attributed , to the iaiihiul . vigilance - of the

In disregard of repeated wainings of impend
ing danger in December last, the Secretary of
tne lisusury, in ouice at the time, neglected to
tnke tbe necessary measures to secure the ves
sels aud othor movable property connected wtth
the light-house establishments.- - This property,
thcrefcre, became tbe easy prey of irsarrectlon

Chapter 1 : We're Alive!
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 11
Background: Font color:
"Sit with me for a while," he said.
"Not sure I'll be able to get back up again, mate," said Ron, but, slowly, both he and Hermione sat down, one on each side of Harry, their backs to the wall.
Harry slowly shook his head. "We're alive."
It felt unreal, something not yet capable of belief. The fears that they had each so long held at bay, the fear that they would fail, the fear that they would not survive their task, the fear they would lose each other, burst through gripping each of them.
"You guys …if I had lost…" Harry couldn't continue.
They leaned into each other, touching heads, gripping each other's arms, together in communion, as the emotions released by their exhaustion and the sense there just may now be a future washed in great waves over them.
"Were alive," said Ron.
The battered Great Hall was full of contrasts. There were groups, rowdy with celebration, exchanging tales of the battle. Others sat in weary despair. Some sat in quiet reflection, happy to have survived, happy that the darkness of Voldemort's reign was at an end. Some had made room on the floor and were trying to get some sleep. A few couples were having their own private celebrations, oblivious to the crowds around them.
A makeshift medical aid station had been set up at the top of the Hall. Here, a dozen or so people and a couple of house elves were being treated or were lying on camp beds conjured for the purpose. The more critical injuries had already been transferred to the hospital wing or St Mungo's.
Along the western wall, reverently placed in line, lay the bodies of those now beyond help. Some were surrounded by the grieving, others were alone. A red head man knelt in silent vigil over the body of his fallen twin, both impassive and unmoving.
Three people stood in the centre of the Hall in earnest discussion.
"They must have found a quiet corner somewhere in the castle to sleep," said a deeply concerned Bill Weasley. "They have to be absolutely exhausted. They left our home very early yesterday morning and then, if you can believe it, broke into Gringotts before they even came here."
"Escaping on dragon back, no less," said Kingsley shaking his head. Kingsley Shacklebolt had just been appointed by the Wizengamot as the interim Minister of Magic. "Do you have any idea what they have been up to for the last nine months?"
"None whatsoever," replied Bill. "All I know is that they showed up on our doorstep three weeks ago in a bad way. Hermione had clearly been tortured and was seriously injured."
Minerva McGonagall breathed in sharply, a look of distress passing over her face. "Not Hermione too."
"What happened?" asked Kingsley, scowling, lightening forming in his eyes..
"Bellatrix happened," spat Bill, the scar on his face now a vivid red. "That's about all I know."
"They came here to Hogwarts to find something, an item that had something to do with Rowena Ravenclaw. I don't believe they intended or expected a battle to occur," said McGonagall.
A man in Auror's robes came up to Kingsley and spoke in his ear.
Kingsley smiled. "Our three heroes are sitting on the floor outside the headmaster's office. Shall we go and put them to bed?"
Bill, Kingsley and McGonagall headed out of the Great Hall and through the long, battle scarred corridors of Hogwarts castle, each silently cataloguing the devastation they passed. Near the headmaster's office they came to an abrupt halt, arrested by the sight of three clearly exhausted teenagers, sitting on the floor, head to head, arm in arm, supporting each other in a silent embrace.
"Far too much was asked of them, far too much," said McGonagall.
"I agree Minerva," replied Kingsley "but they succeeded anyway. What these three did, what your other students did this night…extraordinary. I still find it hard to believe that such young witches and wizards could fight with that kind of skill, power, and courage."
"Again we have these three to thank. They formed and trained the DA right under the nose of Dolores Umbridge when that awful woman was here. I think you know that the students reformed it this year. That was mainly Neville Longbottom, Ron's sister Ginny and Luna Lovegood's doing and it cost them dearly."
"Ginny? Ginny was hurt?" asked a shocked and dismayed Bill.
"Your sister is a very brave young woman, Bill, and, yes, she was hurt. So many have been hurt this dreadful year." McGonagall fought to control her emotions which threatened to overwhelm her. "I never thought I would see the day when Hogwarts would be turned into a house of horrors." She spat out each word angrily. She took a deep breath, pulled herself to her full height and approached the trio still arm in arm on the ground, oblivious to anyone or anything outside themselves.
"Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, Miss Granger," said McGonagall in a stern voice belied by a barely suppressed smile, "Why is it that whenever anything happens at this school, it's always you three close at hand?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione all quickly looked up. As they staggered to their feet, Ron, who remembered being asked this very question by McGonagall a year ago, grinned and replied as he had then. "Believe me, Professor. I've been asking myself that same question for the past seven years."
"There were times," McGonagall said, "when I wondered whether this school would survive you three. Now I know it could not have survived without you. I could not be prouder of you if you were my own children." A tear in her eye, she shocked the three, Ron the most, by hugging each in turn.
"Has it survived though?" asked Harry as McGonagall released him from her hug. "So much damage, so many deaths. I am so sorry. I did not mean to bring that here."
McGonagall held Harry firmly by the shoulders, looking directly into his pained eyes. "You have nothing to be sorry for, Harry. You did not bring it here. The evil was already well and truly here before you came. You have ended it, Harry, and now we can all begin to live again. That is what you have given us. That is what those who died tonight have given us. Do not diminish their gift by blaming yourself. "
Ron trembled and then looked into Bill's eyes, trying to hold back the tears that had risen so quickly. Their brother, Fred, was among those who had died that night and their family would never again be intact. They moved to each other and embraced, each holding the other tightly, sharing their pain, their relief at each other's survival, each drawing what comfort they could from the other.
They stood like that in silence for some time, the others recognising and respecting the moment. Hermione herself was close to tears as her heart reached out to Ron.
Eventually Kingsley spoke. "I think we had better move. It is not necessarily safe here; there may still be some Death Eaters in the castle. I would like to get you to a secure location where you can get some rest."
"You can have your old beds in Gryffindor tower," said McGonagall.
"No!" said Ron, looking at Hermione, "we need to stay together." At this, both Hermione and Harry nodded their heads.
"Very well," said McGonagall after a moment's pause, "You can use the year three boys dormitory. They have all been evacuated. It wouldn't do, in any case, to evict Mr Longbottom and Mr Finnegan from their own beds after what they have done tonight."
They all started moving towards Gryffindor tower, Hermione hand in hand with Ron. After observing these two at Shell Cottage, this didn't surprise Bill at all. Nor did it seem to surprise McGonagall who smiled inwardly. "About time," she thought.
"I will place a guard outside the entrance so you will not be disturbed. Sleep as long as you need. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" asked Kingsley.
Realising he was indeed hungry, Harry replied "I could handle a few sandwiches, and Ron is always hungry." In a bemused voice he added "Is room service part of the job description for the Minister of Magic now?"
Kingsley laughed. "For you three and, just for today, yes it is!"
Kingsley became more serious "Harry, I need to know what you have been doing all year. I don't need the details at this moment, but could you give me the five minute summary. I do need to know."
Harry looked at him, then at Minerva and Bill. Realising that he could trust these people completely and that secrecy was no longer an absolute imperative, he said simply "horcruxes."
"Horcruxes," repeated Kingsley. "You mentioned horcruxes when you were duelling Voldemort. Did he actually succeed in making a couple? Is that what you were doing, searching for and destroying these horcruxes?"
"No and yes. He made seven."
"Seven, impossible," spluttered Kingsley "I have never even heard of anyone succeeding in making more than one before." Beside him, McGonagall also looked stunned.
"Sorry, what is a horcrux?" asked a confused Bill.
"A most wicked piece of dark magic," explained McGonagall. "It is an object in which you have stored a part of your soul. While it exists you cannot truly be killed."
Kingsley and McGonagall thought they couldn't be shocked any further. They were wrong. Hermione added "Making one means splitting your soul, something that requires an act of murder. Voldemort made his first horcrux when he was sixteen, still a student here at Hogwarts."
"The final horcrux to be destroyed was Voldemort's snake Nagini. When Neville killed Nagini, Voldemort was vulnerable. He could be killed," added Harry as they continued their walk towards Gryffindor Tower.
Looking at his brother, Ron said "Sorry we had to keep you all in the dark, but if You Know Who got even a hint of what we were doing he could easily have stopped us. We could never have beaten him."
Kingsley asked "Harry, why did you come here last night?"
"After the break in at Gringotts – you've heard about that?" They all nodded. "Well after Gringotts, Voldemort finally realised what we have been doing all this time. The last horcrux, apart from Nagini, was here at Hogwarts. We had to find it and destroy it before Voldemort could get to it, otherwise it would all have been for nothing. We were lucky, Voldemort decided to check all the other places he had hidden his horcruxes before he came here, so we had a head start."
"How on earth could you possibly know all this Harry?" asked a bewildered Kingsley.
"That's a long story too," said Harry.
They arrived at the portrait hole just as the Fat Lady hiccoughed. "Welcome to the party," she giggled and the door sprung open. The Gryffindor common room was crowded with current and former Gryffindors and many from other houses as well. As in the Great Hall below, there were those still celebrating, those sitting quietly and others trying to grab some sleep wherever they could. As the group entered, silence fell over the room. Soon clapping and cheering broke out and people moved forward to once again congratulate the hero of the day.
"Halt!" boomed Kingsley's commanding voice. "Please give these three some room – they are beyond exhausted and need rest."
The clapping continued in a desultory fashion as the Minister of Magic, the acting headmistress of Hogwarts and the eldest son of the Weasley clan escorted Harry, Ron and Hermione up to the dormitory.
Kingsley shooed then into the dorm saying "Go now, get some sleep. We can talk more about this later, but only after you've had all the rest you need. I'll have someone stationed at the door to make sure you are not disturbed. If you need anything let them know." With that he closed the door.
There was nothing more that Harry, Ron and Hermione really needed to say to one another, nothing that couldn't wait. The work of an extraordinary day done, Harry walked to the nearest bed, took off his shoes, lay down and soon sunk into the deepest sleep he had known in a long time.
Ron moved to the bed next to Harry and sat down. He looked up at Hermione and patted the place next to him. Hermione hesitated for a few seconds then went to join him. Off came their shoes. They climbed up onto the bed and cuddled into one another. "Good night my love," whispered Ron into Hermione's ear. A big smile on both their faces, they soon joined Harry in deep slumber.
Outside the door, Bill turned to Kingsley and McGonagall. "You two go. You must have plenty you need to be doing and must be nearly as exhausted as this lot. I'll stand guard here till you send someone to relieve me."
As Bill watched them go, he thought about his youngest brother. He had lost some respect for Ron when he turned up at Shell Cottage before Christmas after abandoning his friends. Most of that respect was regained when Ron left to re-join them. It was fully restored and more when Ron had returned with Harry and an injured Hermione just a few weeks ago. He could see firsthand the hardships and dangers they had had to endure. The deep pain that Ron had experienced over Hermione's suffering was heart wrenching. It hadn't stopped either Ron or Hermione from carrying on with their mission though. Now, after what he had learned tonight, he had a much clearer understanding of the extraordinary burden that had been placed upon his youngest brother. Bill, like all the Weasleys, was a courageous man. He had faced many dangers both in his profession as a curse breaker and during this war. All the same he found himself wondering, not for the first time, whether he himself could ever have found the courage to be Harry Potter's best friend.

Hope you read this morning's article on the the Every Timers, the 11-men who have run all 39 Sound to Narrows races and plan to be in the field again on Saturday. It takes some creativity to get to the race every year, it seems, but here's one of my favorite stories shared by these men.
Mike Thomsen likes to tell people his daughter was conceived during the 20th Sound to Narrows.Yes, you read that correctly. And, no, it's not what you think.
Thomsen is one of 11 entrants in Saturday's 40th Sound to Narrows who will be running the hilly 12-kilometer race for the 40th time. These men call themselves the Every Timers.
It takes commitment to be an Every Timer. To stay in the club, you might have to skip your child's graduation. You might have to schedule surgeries around the race or run while battling cancer or heart disease.
Or, in Thomsen's case, you might have to run during the conception of your daughter.
In 1992, Thomsen and his wife, Lisa, were five years into trying to have a child. Two previous attempts at artificial insemination had failed, and their third and final try was going to be on Sound to Narrows weekend.
The eggs were retrieved the day before the race.
"They have a needle stuck in me harvesting eggs, and Mike is starting to wonder if he's going to be able run the race, " Lisa said with a laugh. "He's run the race every year since he was 12. It's very important to him."
The next day, Lisa watched Mike run the race while the eggs were fertilized. The day after the race, Lisa was implanted with the eggs. Nine months later Emily was born.
When Emily turned 12, she started running the Sound to Narrows with Mike.
"She's a runner, but she's decided not to run it anymore, " Lisa said. "It's a very challenging course."

Men's Basketball: Brey adds talented recruits
Observer Staff Report | Wednesday, April 27, 2011
Notre Dame picked up two major commitments Monday and Tuesday, announcing the transfer of 6-foot-10 sophomore center Garrick Sherman from Michigan State and the signing of 6-foot-8 forward Eric Katenda to letter of intent.
Sherman picked Michigan State over Notre Dame when he graduated from high school, but two struggle-filled years as a Spartan gave the Ohio native second thoughts about his choice. Encouraged by the recent success Irish coach Mike Brey has had with transfers, such as 2011 Big East Player of the Year Ben Hansbrough, Sherman decided to be the sixth such transfer under Brey. Sherman will have to sit out the 2011-12 season as required by NCAA transfer rules but will have two years of eligibility remaining when he first suits up for the Irish in the 2012-13 campaign.
Sherman averaged 3.1 points and 2.6 rebounds in only 12.1 minutes per game in the past year at Michigan State. He saw significant action at times, but spent long stretches of time on the bench at others.
Katenda, a French native attending high school in Bel Aire, Kan., decided between Wake Forest and Notre Dame. Ranked a three-star recruit by major recruiting services, he chose between a struggling Demon Deacon program, where he would get significant playing time as a freshman, and an Irish program loaded with veterans who had a track record of winning.
A versatile player who excels at the small forward position, Katenda averaged 15.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 60 percent from the field in his senior season at Sunrise Christian Academy. He faced a number of health issues last summer, including knee tendinitis and appendicitis. These health issues turned a number of programs away, leaving the Irish as one of only three schools competing heavily for Katenda's play.
Katenda will join 6-foot-5 wing and fellow recruit Patrick Connaughton on campus in the fall. Connaughton was the Massachusetts player of the year and signed with Notre Dame in November.
Notre Dame already has two commitments for its 2012 signing class and has one scholarship remaining to offer a member of that class.

X-Games 15 Day 2: 720 Corkscrew, Moto X Best Trick & Danny Finds a WayAugust 1, 2009
Day two of the 15th anniversary of the X-Games had to follow up a remarkable day one. Big air skateboard was taken to new heights as 720's were attempted over 70 foot gaps and the magnificent but highly tricky 900 was also attempted on the mega ramp.
Bob Burnquist had everything to lose as the two-time defending champ looking for an epic three-peat, which only big air pioneer and legend Danny Way has accomplished (2004-2006). Way was scheduled to compete, but he injured himself while practicing for the new contest, big air rail jam.
He clipped his knee and had to pop it back in.
Way stated he was icing it and tending to it diligently hoping to make the big air rail jam on day two. Jake Brown has competed in over 10 straight X-Games and had yet to earn a gold medal.
Brown had a dark cloud over him as he had lost to Bob Burnquist two years in a row (2007-2008), one of which included probably the nastiest fall in X-Games history and produced a SportsCenter center classic highlight that is still shown two years later.
Brown put it all on the line. He attempted to pull off the 900, the move made famous by Tony Hawk in 1999 at the X-Games. A handful have pulled off the 900 after Hawk did, but none have ever even thought of trying to nail the bad boy on the mega ramp.
Despite having the scariest fall in his life Brown went for it twice, but failed both times. He and Burnquist were tied for last place coming into the fifth and final run. Brown captured the gold after Burnquist fell trying to cross the gap with a japan air with a sort of judo twist to it.
Way missed his event and many were doubtful he would even be ready to compete in day two's Big air rail jam. The man who was on crutches would not be denied and geared up and showed up for the new event. The rail jam is the same as the skateboard big air, except the addition of a curved rail over the gap.
The skater's score isn't focused on the tricks pulled across the gap and on the mega ramp, but it's solely based on the tricks done on and across the rail. It was highly dangerous as one's testicles were a mistake away from being lost.
Danny Way clearly wasn't 100 percent, but that didn't stop him from chasing the gold. Way has had 13 surgeries, and eight of them were on his knee. Way looked ready to call it night after numerous bails, holding his knee after every fall. With the odds against him, Danny found a way and won the gold at the first big air rail jam with a switch 50-50 grind across the curved red rail.
Andy McDonald failed to win a medal on his 36th birthday. Maybe Brown and Way's determination was too much to be denied the gold medals. Way is a true warrior in my books.
There were talks of torn ligaments, torn ACL, broken ankles amongst other injuries and the man Danny Way did it.
The Moto X best trick was another anticipated event with a stacked core of competitors including the returning Travis Pastrana and the two-time champ going for the three-peat, Klye Loza. New trick rumors surrounded this event, especially Pastrana's 720 Corkscrew.
I know he loves what he does and he loves his mother, but why does he put her through these heart-stopping moments with these stunts?
Pastrana's double back flip was only three years old and he was at it again. Speaking of double back flip, Scott Murray also returned to Moto X best trick this year to do the double back flip! Again!
Please note the sarcasm there.
The Moto X best trick was always something to look forward to, but many weren't satisfied with this year's best trick. Loza retains the gold and earned the three-peat with the same move he won with last year, the electric doom.
I was very confused with the judge scoring all night, most notably in the BMX big air competition. Anthony Napolitan pulled off a double front flip for the first time ever in BMX big air across the 70-foot gap. He did it again the following run. Kevin Robinson won the gold for the event with a big no-handed back flip followed by a big no handed flair on the mega ramp.
K-Rob earned that medal, but how didn't...why didn't Napolitan get a medal? He finished in fifth place, and I was stunned. In the Moto X best trick, the same thing happened again. The event went from promising to bizarre.
Pastrana had everyone praying for his well-being when he went for another dangerous stunt. He was fully prepared for the 720 corkscrew to say the least. Pastrana hired an Olympic gymnastic to help train him to better use his body muscles as he was going to properly use multiple muscles and strength to pull off a 720 on a motorbike.
Everyone awaited history, but number 199 failed.
It was a difficult trick, and would have been fantastic to have seen it nailed. Pastrana opted to not take his second run. Just like Napolitan, we witnessed another highway robbery.
Blake Williams pulled off a sight to see. He performed a 360 Indian air with a cliffhanger and followed up with a no handed landing, and didn't win the gold.
Then there was a guy who wasted both of his runs not doing any trick at all on both of them. I don't know if he got cold feet, but it's the X-Games, not some local town competition, go hard or go home. I wouldn't be surprised if SportsCenter rips this guy.
Lastly, there's Scott Murray. Three years were wasted on this guy, someone out there could have been the next big Moto X star. Three years in a row, he failed to do the double backflip, a move that Pastrana pulled off three years ago and now does for warm ups.
This reminds me of the NBA All star dunk contest that Nate Robinson won after he tried the same dunk about thirty times. Murray just can't do the back flip and needs to be replaced with a better biker, plain and simple.
Murray shook his head after wasting six runs in three years. Loza might have had a new trick, bu his wrist was bugging him, so he played it safe. We're only half way there, days three and four remain in X-Games 15.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday night vetoed her state's controversial bill that would let businesses refuse service to gay and lesbian customers on religious grounds because it "does not address a specific or pressing concern related to religious liberty."
"Religious liberty is a core American and Arizona value. So is nondiscrimination," Brewer said during a press conference at the state Capitol. "After weighing all of the arguments, I have vetoed Senate Bill 1062 moments ago."
The Republican governor had little choice but to turn back a two-page bill that had drawn intense national scrutiny since its passage by the state Legislature last week. In addition to mass protests in the state, several organizations and businesses had strongly urged Brewer to hand down a veto. The National Football League was reportedly considering moving next year's Super Bowl from the state if Brewer signed the bill into law.
In addition, both of Arizona's senators, Republicans John McCain and Jeff Flake, had pressed Brewer to kill the bill. Mitt Romney pushed for a veto, and three Republican state senators who originally voted for the measure succumbed to political pressure and reversed their positions.
Close observers of Arizona politics will find the veto unsurprising, and yet it's another example of Brewer's methodical political calculus that has defined her tenure as governor, an office she assumed after Janet Napolitano resigned in 2009 to lead the Homeland Security Department.
The veto will help salvage some of Arizona's tarnished reputation, which has been undeniably battered in recent years, beginning with Brewer's decision in 2010 to sign a "self-deportation" law against illegal immigration that drew widespread condemnation but also helped her secure reelection that year. Key sections of that law were struck down by the Supreme Court in 2012, and cost Arizona an estimated $140 million in lost revenue due to boycotts.
Arizona's national image continued to deteriorate, however. In 2011, a gunman opened fire at a constituent event in Tucson for then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, killing six and wounding 13, including Giffords. The violence garnered intense national attention and prompted Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik to declare that "Arizona is the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
But today, Arizona is not going to be derided as a place of prejudice or bigotry. By choosing not to sign, Brewer has gone from a governor who helped secure her state's reputational demise in 2010, when rhetoric against illegal immigration reached its apex, to a governor who prevented another wave of economic boycotts and enduring scrutiny, a move underscoring just how much politics on social issues — especially gay rights — have changed around the country.
"I call them like I see them," Brewer said. "Despite the cheers or boos from the crowd."
As an accidental Republican governor who became the face of a charged movement against illegal immigration in 2010, as a fierce, finger-wagging enemy to the feds, and as an unlikely champion of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, Brewer has always done exactly that. Especially when the cameras are watching.

Veterans Memorial Coliseum Tickets
It was in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum that the Phoenix Suns won the hearts of their fans. Opened in 1965 and featuring a then state of the art saddle shaped roof this venue has seen its seats filled with hockey fans flocking to see the Phoenix Roadrunners, soccer fans coming to cheer on the Phoenix Thunder, but mostly is remembered for the heroics of the Phoenix Suns of the NBA, who made it their home from 1968 to 1992 before leaving for the American Airlines West Arena.
You might think the departure of the Suns spelled doom, but you'd be wrong. Seating at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum is still very much in demand. But now fans are clamoring for seats in the Coliseum when the Arizona State Fair comes to town. Every year this popular event brings the best concert artists in the country to Phoenix with music, comedy, and entertainment that you won't find anywhere else. The Arizona State Fair runs for several weeks in September and October and the schedule of events in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum showcases talents from the world of country music, rock and roll, hands them to you on a silver platter. While most concerts are free with your fair tickets, GoTickets recommends reserve seating for the most popular shows. That way you won't have to fight the crowd in general admission and you'll have great seats for all the shows in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Following disappointing sales of last year's Graffiti, which came on the heels of his guilty plea for assaulting Rihanna, Chris Brown is churning out new music in an attempted comeback. Not only has his mixtape-spawned cut "Deuces," featuring Tyga, topped the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart, but the track has also been remixed to include guest spots from five hip-hop heavyweights, including Drake and Kanye West.
During a chat with fans on Ustream on Monday night, Brown spoke about the upcoming remix and his next album, F.A.M.E.
"I'mma let ya'll know a little secret," Brown told fans. "We got the 'Deuces' remix coming. 'Deuces' remix features myself, Fabolous, T.I., Drake, Kanye West, and André 3000. There you have it. My people are probably about to call me and say, 'You weren't suppose to tell anybody,' but so what? I love you guys."
The singer revealed that the remix to the kiss-off track is set to be released as soon as he receives a verse from West. "I'm actually supposed to be getting Kanye's verse any minute now," he explained. "I got everybody else's very ready, so we're waiting right now. We're gonna put it together and have it to y'all either by next week or this week, probably Friday. I ain't making no promises."
In addition to treating Team Breezy to the big-time collaboration, Brown said that he will shoot a video for the remix.
Brown has been steadily releasing plenty of new music, including his pop single "Yeah 3x," which Brown said he wrote in 15 minutes with Kevin McCall, Richgirl's SeVen and DJ Frank E. "We actually got the beat and we did it in no time." he said. "It was effortless. It was fun. It was sort of like when we wrote 'Forever,' so I hope you guys like that record. It's more of a pop record, in the club record."
The singer gave fans a taste of his other much talked about song "Calypso," which may appear on the new LP.
"I wouldn't say it's my comeback album," he said of F.A.M.E. "I just say it's my album. I wouldn't say it's a comeback because I don't feel like I went anywhere. I didn't disappear. I still was in your face. But I feel like it's a great album. It's going to show a lot more growth and a lot more fun in music. It isn't going to be as depressing, so to speak." He's also considering putting the remix to "Deuces" on the album as a bonus for fans.

NBA fans have long wanted to see Miami Heat star LeBron James participate in a dunk contest. His recent propensity for throwing down wicked slams during pregame warmups has only helped fuel that desire.Now, fans apparently aren't the only ones who really want to see what King James can do in the dunk competition. NBA legend and current ESPN analyst Magic Johnson wants in on the campaign as well.Johnson went on the record on national television by stating that he would offer James $1 million to try his hand at winning the slam dunk contest. Johnson then appeared to back off his offer a little bit by saying that he would give $1 million to the winner, instead.Nonetheless, James would end up pocketing the cash if he decided he wanted in on the deal. Because who really stands a chance at competing with this?

Of all the ship owning companies whose headquarters where based at Leith, the oldest is undoubtedly Messrs. George Gibson and Company, Ltd., which was founded in 1797.
It is recorded that as far back as 1758 a Mr. Mungo Campbell Gibson was connected with the shipping trade of the Port, and it is believed that this connection has continued unbroken from then till now
George Gibson & Co Ltd. Involved in sea and coastal water transport was incorporated in 1915.
In 1972 Anchor Line Ltd acquired George Gibson & Co Ltd. In 1976 the Anchor Line Co Ltd structure was recast and had five operating divisions - Anchor Line Eastern Services Ltd, Anchor Line Ship Management, Currie Line Ltd., George Gibson & Co (concerned with the gas tanker fleet), Runciman Shipping Ltd (previously called Walter Runciman & Co Ltd).
Anchor Line Eastern Services Ltd, Anchor Line Ship Management Ltd and George Gibson & Co were all still active at the start of the 21st century.

Cathay Pacific Airways to launch Portland-Asia cargo service
Primary tabs
Air cargo carrier Cathay Pacific Airways announced on Thursday that it would launch twice a week service to Portland, offering a new route for Asia-bound exports.
The carrier said its cargo planes would stop in Portland two times a week as part of a route that starts and ends at its hub in Hong Kong. The plans would also be scheduled to stop along the way in Los Angeles.
Cathay Pacific will likely carry semi-finished footwear, apparel and electronic goods; and sports goods maker Nike, tech giant Intel and Columbia Sportswear are expected to be major customers for the company.
Phillipe Lacamp, the company's senior vice president for the Americas, "You'e got an extraordinary ecosystem here. We've been carrying from this region out of our other hubs. It really comes down to the likes of Nike in particular and Columbia Sportswear."
Apart from footwear, apparel and electronics, the service will shuttle a number of perishable goods like cherries, blueberries, Dungeness crab and oysters from Portland to Asia using wide-body Boeing 747-8F planes.
However, the new service is still waiting for regulatory approvals. If approved, it will be launched on November 3, 2016.

Dr. Arlene Andrews started her career in social work helping women abused by men. But the last part of her career has been devoted to helping men become better supporters of families.
Men sometimes fail to support their children because they've failed to support themselves—spiritually and materially, Andrews said.
"A social worker's goal is justice, particularly restorative justice, to try to find a win-win situation where everyone gains," she said. "Our goal is to create strong, healthy families. In order to do that, you have to work with every member of the family."
Andrews retired last spring from the College of Social Work after teaching there since 1986. During her tenure at the COSW, she helped found several organizations that continue to help families in South Carolina, and she has inspired countless students. Even after retirement she remains active as a mentor and independent consultant.
Patrick Patterson, a 2013 recipient of the College of Social Work's Alumnus-of-the-Year Award, is among those who consider Andrews to be a mentor. Patterson is manager of the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse, a federal program that reaches out to dads through its website and barbershop literature.
Patterson's own father left home when he was 15, and he grew up in a subsidized housing project in Columbia. After graduating from Benedict College with a bachelor's degree in social work, he began work on his master's degrees in social work and public health in the late 1990s at USC. He became an intern for Andrews, who put Patterson to work on her research into fatherhood issues.
"She pushed me in a great way to go beyond the borders of the state," he said. "I give a great deal of credit to her in my career."
Andrews said her "retirement" has so far been busier than semesters spent teaching.
Her recent efforts include helping fathers who fall behind on child support payments because they've lost their jobs through programs co-sponsored by the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families.
One program co-sponsored by the South Carolina Equal Access to Justice Commission helps direct men to a simple online form that allows them to ask judges to reduce their required child support payments. Often men get in trouble with the court because they can't afford to hire a lawyer for the simple process.
The second project pairs the man with a job coach, who will assess the man's skills and provide advice and encouragement. The two meet at least once, and develop a plan together. Most follow-up contact is by telephone.
The 12-month, pilot job-coaching program was conducted through a SC Department of Employment and Workforce office in Greenville and the Greenville Fatherhood Coalition. The SC Department of Social Services and the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families assisted.
"We were dealing with men who had been rejected in many ways," Andrews said. "They had dropped of school, dropped out of families and dropped out of the labor market. A lot of the fathers we deal with don't have a lot of hope."
The study found that the men who were coached were significantly more successful in becoming employed than those in a control group who were left to fend for themselves.
"One of the principles is to reach the heart of the man," she said, "to focus not just on his fatherhood, but the total person. They need support and mentoring in developing stable jobs, better social skills, and stronger social supports."
Andrews' early career was marked by efforts to help women and children recover from abuse—often inflicted by fathers.
In 1977 she helped found what is now known as Prevent Child Abuse―South Carolina. In 1981, she helped found Sistercare, which serves women who suffer abuse in the Midlands. In the late 1980s, she trained USC graduate students to intervene in situations involving child abuse and neglect. Her students came not only from the College of Social Work, but from psychology, medicine, criminal justice, education, health, and nursing.
She worked with the University of South Carolina Institute for Families in Society starting in 1992, and served as its director from 1999 to 2006.
While working with the Institute she became involved with an anti-poverty initiative of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, a Catholic order of nuns based in Richfield, Ohio, that founded Providence Hospitals in Columbia.
The Sisters of Charity wanted to eliminate poverty and had decided to focus on children. Their foundation hired the Institute to conduct a study, which found the strongest correlation for child poverty was children whose fathers were unengaged.
That study led the Sisters of Charity to launch a fatherhood initiative that spawned 22 local programs. The Institute was hired to evaluate the programs for their effectiveness and ability to establish sustaining financial support.
Those initiatives became the core of the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families when it was created in 2002.
Patterson worked for the Center before leaving to work on national programs. Although he's living in Newark, Delaware—600 miles from Columbia—his projects deal with issues similar to those Andrews is addressing.
Patterson, like his mentor, said he is dedicated to helping men "see the fullness of what dads can provide," and to helping the women in their lives better understand men and their behaviors.
