This is one of our all-time favorite Tintin scenes — Professor Calculus nearly getting run over by Captain Haddock's Lunar tank. And this tribute to Herge's original art was created by none other than Weta's Greg Broadmore, creator of the amazing Dr. Grordbort. Consider us over the Moon.
Check out another exclusive look at Weta's incredible tributes to Tintin's Explorers on the Moon, below.
Above and below are two page spreads from the art book The Art of the Adventures of Tintin, which we've featured before.
The page above shows Broadmore's version of the scene where Calculus nearly gets run over by Captain Haddock in a Lunar tank, with Herge's original art below for comparison. (Click to enlarge, or right-click and select "open link in new tab".)

Imagine it's 1943, in the midst of World War II, and you've stopped in at a lunch counter in Stuart, Florida. In making small talk with the uniformed soldier sitting next to you, you learn that he's stationed at nearby Camp Murphy. You ask what he's training for, and he shrugs and nonchalantly replies that he's in radio school.
As the old adage goes, that's what they all say. In reality, Camp Murphy was home to a secret radar training program established by the 801st Signal Training Regiment of the U.S. Army. The Army Signal Corps had been experimenting with radar since the 1930s at its school in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. With a war underway, however, the need for trained radar technicians was growing rapidly, so the Corps decided to open up a new location someplace with better year-round weather.
The Martin County site the Corps selected was perfect for the task at hand. The camp was constructed on a tract of about 8,000 acres located between U.S. Highway 1 and the Florida East Coast Railway near Hobe Sound. The dense forest covering much of the land was ideal for concealing the operation. As new buildings were constructed, the builders painted them a dull green to help them blend in with their surroundings. Roads criss-crossed the property, but in a haphazard pattern rather than in a grid. No trees were cut unless it was absolutely necessary. The idea was to camofluage the installation as well as possible.
The camp was named for U.S. Army Colonel William Herbert Muprhy, a pioneer researcher in the radar field whose aircraft had been shot down over Indonesia by the Japanese. Construction began in March 1942 and was far enough along for the camp to open in less than three months' time.
Once complete, Camp Murphy was almost a city unto its own. It had a railway station, post office, cinema, library, and bowling alley, in addition to the usual accouterments of an Army training base. Although the soldiers training at the camp traveled often to nearby Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and Stuart, they were sworn to keep the true purpose of the base secret. This was also the case for the numerous local civilians who worked on the base as nurses, secretaries, carpenters, and general laborers.
The average training course at Camp Murphy required about five months to complete. Classes on radio and radar operation were interspersed with target practice and combat training, aided by the dense vegetation covering the property.
By the end of 1944, the camp had served its purpose, and the Army Signal Corps chose to close up shop. Most of the camp's equipment was shipped up to Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, or to Camp Crowder in Missouri. The buildings and property became surplus, subject to disposition by the U.S. War Assets Administration.
After the war, several possible uses were proposed for the camp. In 1946, state officials contemplated using the base as a new tuberculosis sanatorium. The idea was eventually withdrawn, on account of Camp Murphy's isolation and the difficulty of getting personnel and supplies to the area. Senator George Smathers offered the installation as a candidate when the Air Force began looking for a new location for an academy. Although Senator Smathers did his best to sell Camp Murphy and its seasonable climate, this plan also fell through.
Ultimately, Camp Murphy ended up becoming a state park in 1950. It was called Jonathan Dickinson State Park, named after a man who was shipwrecked in the area in 1696 with his family. Native Americans discovered the family and other survivors, but permitted them to travel north to their home in Pennsylvania.
Florida made many contributions to the war effort during World War II. Learn more in our World War II unit in the Online Classroom.

State of the Tribe
With Mark Shapiro speaking in front of the Cleveland media earlier in the week, I would be remiss if I didn't provide a quick summary and translation on what the Tribe GM had to say (and what he inferred).
The audio is available here, but here's what Shapiro had to say – steering away from all of the "next step" and "success vs. failure" talk that resulted from some poor questions and some spinning from Shapiro about how the Indians couldn't get to the playoffs without C.C. or Fausto, how Fausto is mentally strong, rehashing the ALCS, etc. – as he did hit on a number of interesting topics about the team (and specifically the roster) going forward, when you read between the lines.
The lines in quotes are verbatim, the rest are my impressions from his words:
The HGH matter is being handled by MLB and could affect the Indians picking up his 2008 option. It's something that the team will watch as it develops and, while they were surprised by it, he gave no indication that the results of the investigation will be the end-all, be-all when it comes to 2008.
Pronk put too much pressure on himself, "carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders" as he strode to the plate each time at the end of the season and Shapiro expects him to rebound from a season that "wasn't disastrous, but not up to his standards". Shapiro intimated that Hafner has difficulty separating between at-bats because of how "well he always wants to do to help his team" and it is something that he hopes to improve for 2008.
2nd Base
While not going so far as to say that 2B belonged to AstroCab for 2008, he said he had trouble seeing Asdrubal not playing a prominent role next year. The role of many players will be determined by organizational meetings in the next few weeks, including where Barfield and Cabrera end up.
Adding Pieces/Payroll
The club won't contain many surprises next year as most of the pieces are in place and the depth in the organization will have the club asking if holes can be filled internally or if they'll have to go out of the organization to do so. There are no restrictions on payroll that would "prevent the Indians from bringing their team back"; while a firm number certainly does not exist. Because most of the team is under contract for next year, the Tribe is in a unique situation where most of the payroll is already spoken for. Due to a weak FA market, they can attempt to find value (in the bullpen, in particular) instead of having to target one specific position or area.
C.C.'s contract
It will be dealt with "sooner rather than later" and "won't go to Spring Training with it being an open issue" without promises of regular updates to keep everyone informed. When asked if C.C. would be traded if the two sides are "miles apart", Shapiro said that the team is the most important thing and "C.C. will be a Cleveland Indian, no matter what the scenario next Spring".
Borowski and the Bullpen
JoeBo's option will be picked up as no good reason exists for the Indians not to pick it up. The pieces for a core of pitchers in the bullpen are closer than they've been in a long time for the Tribe. Shapiro indicated that the young arms that emerged to play vital roles in the bullpen (Perez, Lewis) were "on the radar" in Winter Haven. The bullpen will continue to be a fluid group with flexibility and evolving roles by design.
Youngsters in 2008
Players identified as young players that could contribute in 2008 were the Big League Choo (who is out of options) and Atom Miller, but with the players that emerged this year (Cabrera, Laffey, Lewis, etc.), he doesn't expect a huge amount of farmhands to explode on the scene as a lot of the current depth is filled by players making their debuts in 2007.
Veteran OF
Dellucci will play next year, if healthy, for the Tribe and is being counted on to contribute both on the field and as a leader in the clubhouse. The Trotter and Kenny, though Shapiro never came out and said it, have played their part in the development of the team and will not return.
Veteran vs. Rookie
Shapiro explained that one of the reasons that some young players didn't make the team out of Spring Training and were passed over in favor of a veteran is that the young players are given a chance to mature and work their way into the starting role while the production of the veteran is evaluated. If the veteran works out, the desired depth is achieved in the organization. If the veteran disappoints, the young player is (hopefully) ready to step in. On the flip side, if the young player is given the first opportunity and he disappoints, few options exist and the risk of damaging the long-term success of the young player comes into play.
The most surprising comment to me was regarding Dellucci, who it seems would be the odd man out (along with Michaels) in a suddenly very-crowded outfield with Grady and Frank the Tank patrolling 2/3 of it. Between Blake (assuming he's not the 3B), Choo (who, again, is out of options), and Francisco, plus whatever they may be able to add "externally", counting Dellucci in as a main contributor for 2008 seems premature. Between the starting pitching depth and OF depth, Shapiro has some areas to deal from to improve the parts of the team that remain worrisome.
We'll see how this all plays out going forward; but in the meantime, I'm going to take a look back month-by-month at the 2007 season, pulling out my favorite lines from the stories and the comments to re-live the roller coaster ride that we've just finished.
It will be fun to see the absolutes that prove to be completely wrong as well as how certain predictions played out.

O'Leno State Park is located in the northeast area of Florida and near many of Florida's beautiful natural springs. The Santa Fe River goes underground in O'Leno SP, and appears again at River Rise SP which is nearby. This area provided early settlers a land bridge to cross the Santa Fe River.
The Civilian Conservation Corp built the park and also a beautiful suspension bridge over the Santa Fe River. It has a lot of swing & sway to it when you walk over it. Some of the few rapids in Florida are right below the bridge.
The park has 2 campgrounds. Magnolia and Dogwood, with 61 sites, cabins and youth/group camping areas. Neither campground is directly on the river but is within a short walk to it.
The sites in the Magnolia campground are large and have good privacy and many are large enough for larger rigs. There are 2 pull thru sites. Magnolia loop was closed for a while recently to "upgrade" the campground. I' m not a fan of their upgrades. They cut down large trees and used them to make borders between the sites. It is a very unnatural look in a place that is supposed to be natural. Some of the trees were probably cut down after being infected with the Pine Beetle. The wood is breaking down and leaving large piles of sawdust and bark in the sites. It makes the sites look messy as the trees obviously have not fallen naturally where they are located. Here are a few of the worst sites, aesthetically anyway.
This site makes it hard for the camper to even use his awning.
Maybe it's just me, but my campsite is my back yard for a few days and the above sites are not my idea of what I want to look out and see.
Our site (#16) is okay but still has some unsightly logs around the perimeter.
We made a drive over to the other campground (Dogwood) loop and decided it was definitely a no go. The road in and our was narrow, with large ruts in the road. We had a hard time in the car, the motorhome would have been a real problem. The sites were mostly very small and not very pretty. It was mostly for tents and small rv's. We will not stay there.
The last time we were here was exactly 7 years ago. We were there for a "Pickers Festival" It was a group of bluegrass fiddle players. They took turns and played until 2am, without stopping! When we checked in the ranger told us that we just missed them. Oh Darn! It's not that I hated them (at first). It was kind of unique, but they never stopped playing!
We are in site 16, in the Magnolia campground.. It was on our list of good sites from our last trip. They did plant some pretty rye grass, but most of the campsite is bare ground/sand. . We like the site okay though and it will be fine. We had no neighbors and the CG was pretty empty, until Friday when the week-end crowd started coming in. The sites are large enough though and there is plenty of room between us and our neighbors.
Site 16
Not sure of what number this is, but many of the sites are very similar.
Site 18
Site 17
site 26
Site 20
Yesterday after setting up, we took a drive to try to locate a kayak launch place that we used 7 years ago. Al wasn't exactly sure where it was but we found it. It's Rum Island Park. It's a small park on a beautiful spring on the Santa Fe River. It's been updated since we were last time and is much nicer. You go to hw27 to CR 138 for about 3 miles until you see a sign that says Rum Island Park. It's a good place to launch and see some beautiful blue springs. It's a nice park to spend an afternoon picnicking or swimming. The spring is beautiful. The beautiful blue water flows into the dark Santa Fe River.
You launch and then head downstream (or right). It's less than 2 miles until you come to Ginnie Springs ,which is another beautiful spring and campground area. It's a private CG and the sites were a little small for our tastes, but the spring is a must see, either by paddling or driving to the park. It was just as beautiful as it was 7 years ago when we were last there. We made a mistake and went on Saturday and or course there were hundreds of people tubing down the river by Ginnie Springs. We had to go back yesterday to be able to get near the spring.
Ginnie Springs Campground
The main spring is a big hole in the limstone that was formed from years of water flowing by the millions of gallons out into the river.
The cavern is crystal clear and as blue as a swimming pool. The water is a constant 72 degrees. A lot of cave divers come here from around the world. While we were there a group of 4 Russian divers had just come up from a dive and were in the middle of a lively conversation.
It's a beautiful spring and a wonderful kayak trip up the black water of the Santa Fe to suddenly come across the crystal clear blue waters of Ginnie Springs. It's one of Florida's best treasures!
You can rent an inner tube and float downstream at Ginnie Springs.
These are some other photos of our trip on the Santa Fe River
The Santa Fe is a blackwater river but with the occasional blue spring. There were a lot of turtles resting on logs and the occasional Egret.
Turkey vultures
Ichetucknee Springs State Park
This is another beautiful north Florida spring fed river. It's very popular for tubing. You can rent a tube at the north entrance and float down a few miles to the south entrance. Unfortunately it's not "user friendly" for kayakers. You have to haul your kayaks too far for my taste. A kayak cart is needed.
Since we prefer to paddle upriver then have an easy float downstream when we're tired we headed to the south entrance to the park. It's not a great put in spot but in the off season (for tubers) there is another entrance just past the south entrance. It's a little better spot to launch a kayak. You still have to carry the boat down a good ways but they have a nice floating dock you can launch on. If you're lucky a nice gentleman from the Canoe Outpost will loan you his kayak cart, if you forget yours at home :)
We made a very strenuous trip upriver. There wasn't much wildlife. Not as many turtles or birds as the Sante Fe. We were lucky enough on the way back to see 3-4 feral hogs, and a couple of otters. Unfortunately I was not able to get a photo of them.
The river is a spring fed river and the water is crystal clear with a grassy bottom. It's a scenic river.
The north entrance to the park is where the head spring is. It's the most beautiful part of the river.
It's a large and beautiful park but has no camping facilities.
Layayette Blue Springs
We talked to a local fisherman there. He said there during the cold months of the winter hundreds of large Gar (fish) would congregate by the area where the spring is roped off. They face right into the fence. He isn't sure if it is to keep warm, or some kind of spawning ritual. He confirmed there are jumping Sturgeon in this part of the river. The river is very pretty in this location, with lots of beige sandy banks, which is nice to be able to get out when you are kayaking.
Our camping trip to O'Leno State park ended. We like the area because of the beautiful springs and rivers to kayak on. The campground is not as nice as it used to be, but it's okay. We were able to get a few local tv channels with just our digital antennae. We picked up our signal from satellite but were not able to get local channels. Too far from home I guess.
The weather report when we left indicated a cold front was moving in with a tornado threat. Fortunately we made it home safely without much rain and no severe weather. We did get the motorhome stuck in the mud in the upper yard. We were trying to turn it around to back it into it's spot and we're stuck!
We had good weather. Used the AC the first day and none until the last day when the front was moving in and caused humidity. We had to use the heat twice.
We left the campground on Tuesday in a tornado watch. There was a front moving down with some good rain predicted. I kept track of the weather on the way home and we arrived home without too much rain or wind. Unfortunately after we got home and onto our property, we tried to turn the motorhome around and back it back into its spot. The ground was a little wet and we ended up stuck in the mud!

Students Learn about MLK's Legacy of Service
DuBOIS – As part of the recognition of Black History Month in February, the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. was celebrated at the Annual MLK Luncheon at Penn State DuBois on February 6. Each year, the luncheon serves as a venue for students, faculty and staff to learn about King's work, and honor his legacy in various ways. This year, King's commitment to serving his fellow human begins was the focus.
Organized by the Penn State DuBois Office of Student Life, in conjunction with the Office of International and Multicultural Student Services, the 2013 MLK luncheon took a closer look at King's philosophies on service and on fair and ethical treatment for all people. An excerpt of a recording of one of King's lesser known speeches was played to give participants a glimpse inside King's thoughts on the subject before an open discussion took place. "The Drum Major Instinct" is one of the late reverend's speeches that he also used as a church sermon. In the speech, King offers what he called a new definition of greatness; he said it was fine to want to be great and to want to be important, but to be those things meant being a servant to others. King also said that it is ok to want to be first; but to be first in love, moral excellence, and generosity. "He who is greatest among you will be a servant to others," King said.
"It's always more interesting to hear from the famous person themselves, rather than listen to someone talk about them," said International and Multicultural Student Services Coordinator Tharren Thompson as he introduced the audio clip. "Listening to Martin Luther King, Jr. give a speech is much more interesting than hearing someone give a speech about him."
In "The Drum Major Instinct" King eerily made requests about the content of his own eulogy just months before he would be assassinated. He asked those who outlived him to remember him not for his awards or his education, but to remember that he tried to serve his fellow human beings; that he tried to be a drum major for peace and for justice, without the desire for riches, material items or luxury. Fittingly, Thompson told the students, King's widow had the speech played at the civil rights leader's funeral.
In hearing King's words in his own voice, the students were impacted the way Thompson hoped they would be. Students shared their thoughts on King's speech and his legacy in the following group discussion.
"It's inspiring. Everyone worries about material things sometimes," said student Cindi Weddle, of Curwensville, "He says helping people and being a humanitarian is more important than a big, fancy house on a hill. It makes you think."
"I think his main mission was to leave an impact for others, not to leave an impact for himself, and to teach others not to just leave an impact for yourself," said Marissa Brennan, of DuBois.

"I enjoy sharing the feelings of accomplishment that students have when they wrestle with a particularly difficult problem and eventually come out on top."
We live in an ever-changing world, and it's frequently hard to keep up. So just imagine the rapid-fire environment of computer science, where yesterday's innovations can become obsolete today.
"A large part of a computer science professor's job consists of sifting through the overwhelming amount of new knowledge constantly being generated," Robert England said.
Passing on that knowledge to students is the other part of the challenge. "A computer science student can only truly learn by doing, and the professor's role is one of an enabler and a guide—not a walking encyclopedia of technical ephemera or computer language syntax."
England's areas of interest range from Apple software development—including apps for mobile computing devices such as the iPhone and the iPad—to computer music algorithms. He has witnessed the changes in computer programming over the last 20 years and appreciates how they have affected what computer science professionals need to know.
"Mobile device users have such high expectations for a professional look and feel, and the software to accommodate these expectations is so complex, that programmers can no longer hope to achieve satisfactory results by developing software from the ground up.
"Developers must now rely on libraries of prepackaged code modules. Rather than focusing on learning how to write their own computer code, the emphasis for developers is now shifting toward learning what modules are available to them and how to use and combine these modules to construct apps that meet the increasingly high standards of increasingly discerning users."
Since many of us now walk around with computers in our hands, we understand how computing has permeated nearly every area of our lives. According to England, computer science has become a subject that integrates easily into other liberal arts studies.
"All disciplines now use computing to some degree as a matter of course. Works of art and musical compositions are created with computers. Many of the gains in modern science would not have been possible without computers. Computing applications abound in business, the humanities, and the social sciences. Familiarity with a variety of disciplines enables a computer science student to pursue his/her specific interests—even in areas not traditionally considered to be computer related."
At Transylvania, students taking computer science classes have the advantage of working closely with their professors—professors who believe it's their job to stay on top of the ever-changing field.
"Students receive a high degree of individual attention and have far greater access to their professors than they would at most schools. Our computer science faculty stay current in our discipline, and we work hard at rapidly developing new state-of-the-art courses in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and programming mobile devices. Such newer courses rarely appear so quickly in schools as small as Transylvania."

DeKALB – Thursday marked Northern Illinois' final football practice before the team travels to Miami next week for the Jan. 1 Orange Bowl.
As many teammates scrambled to finalize flights home for Christmas, the Huskies' Tri-Cities contingent merely pondered a drive down westbound Route 38.
There still was plenty of urgency to beat the forecast snow, however.
Before the white stuff starts drifting, here's a whiparound look at a few Huskies with Chronicle-area ties. NIU faces Florida State at 7:30 p.m. on New Year's Day:
Sizing up the Seminoles: For the first few days after NIU's landmark Orange Bowl bid was announced Dec. 2, players spent much of their energy defending the Mid-American Conference, the nonautomatic BCS qualifier they represent.
Once focus shifted to digesting film of the Atlantic Coast Conference champion Seminoles (11-2), the Huskies (12-1) observed what they expected from the traditional power.
"Top of the line recruits," said Huskies left tackle Ryan Brown, a St. Charles North product. "They always get the best."
Florida State ranks second in total defense (253.77 yards a game) and seventh in scoring defense (15.08 points a game).
Northern Illinois averaged 40.77 points a game during the regular season, ninth-best in the country. Defenders hope practicing against a rushing-intensive attack prepared the unit for what it could see from the Seminoles.
"They want to run the ball and we want to stop the run. That's always the bottom line," said linebacker Michael Santacaterina, a Geneva alumnus. "I know they've got a great group of running backs, a great quarterback, great receivers. A lot of speed, a lot of athleticism. We're going to have our goals ... and hopefully come out on top."
Winkel has it covered: Special teams standout Bobby Winkel still aspires to climb the team's depth chart at linebacker. For now, the Marmion graduate from Batavia is fine with starting on the punt team and filling in when he's needed on kickoffs and kickoff returns.
"Just putting my nose in wherever I can," Winkel said. "I got into a bunch of games just because of blowing teams out and getting in every once in a while when they need me to get in being a utility player."
Striedl gets fill at fullback: Jess Striedl (St. Charles East) mimicked Florida State tight end Nick O'Leary as part of his scout team duties during Orange Bowl practices. The Seminoles flex O'Leary wide as a receiver in addition to using him on the line of scrimmage or in the backfield as an H-back.
For Striedl – predominantly used as a fullback since late last season – adjusting to backfield blocking has been the biggest transition to college ball. He was a defensive end/tight end hybrid for the Saints.
"Totally different fundamentals for fullback," Striedl said. "Keeping your feet moving while you're going to make the block, while at the same time keeping good form. It's a completely different situation and a readjustment from coming off the line of scrimmage."
Striedl, who is roommates with Brown and former North running back Jordan Huxtable – who may try for a role with the 2013 Huskies – saw his most extensive action in a Nov. 3 blowout of Massachusetts. He did not record any carries or receive any targets.
"We go out for routes sometimes," Striedl said, "but we're not the most sought-after receivers in this offense."
At ease? Nah: Brown, Santacaterina and Striedl worked out extensively with Chris Browning of Batavia-based Pro Force Sports Performance Training during the offseason. With NIU off from practice and team activity until an on-campus dinner Christmas night, they intend to renew acquaintances over the next few days.
As long as someone calls ahead, Browning doesn't mind any additional Huskies, either.
"He loves Northern, and since he started training us, anyone that comes in from the team he just loves to have for the future," Brown said.
Browning prepared former Geneva and NIU linebacker Pat Schiller, now with the Atlanta Falcons, for the 2012 NFL Draft combine. He also kept a regular fall training regimen with Brown's older brother, Patrick, a veteran NFL offensive lineman who signed with the Miami Dolphins earlier this month.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Minnesota Vikings rookie left tackle Matt Kalil is headed to Hawaii after all.
Kalil was added to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster Friday to replace Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams, who was hurt in a brawl at a Honolulu nightclub.
NFL officials and local police said Friday night that Williams was hurt in a fight that injured three men, sending two to the hospital. Police say one man was arrested and five others are being investigated for assault, but not Williams.
Kalil was the fourth overall draft pick last April and immediately established himself as a top player at one of the game's most important positions. He helped pave the way for Adrian Peterson to rush for 2,000 yards and usually faced the opponent's top pass rusher as the protector for Christian Ponder's blind side.
He is the fourth Vikings rookie to make the Pro Bowl since 2007 and will join teammates Peterson, Jared Allen, Jerome Felton, Chad Greenway, Kyle Rudolph and Blair Walsh on this year's NFC team.

The estimable E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post writes today about the utterly dishonest debate the Romney-Ryan campaign is waging.
On Medicare, the current centerpiece, Ryan and Romney simply lie. This is a subset of a dishonest debate on how to cut the deficit: Ryan and Romney claim they can cut taxes by over $4 trillion in decade, raise military spending and balance budget by savaging Medicaid and other programs for poor. Pure bull.
But even E.J. accepts the subject of this debate: how to reduce deficits. That is the wrong subject at this time. We should be having a debate about how to make the economy work and put people back to work. That is not only imperative to end unnecessary human misery, it is the first and indispensable step to reducing deficits.
Austerity in a weak economy only drives the economy back to recession—see Britain, Portugal, Spain, France, etc. It increases poverty and, ironically, adds to the debt burden as the economy craters.
We're not only having a dishonest debate about deficit reduction. We're having a dishonest debate about the wrong subject.

Not all days at the Nürburgring are rainbows and unicorns, as evidenced by this 2012 Mercedes SLK prototype breaking down and spewing smoke in the tester's first run. Yeah, that's a bad day.
The car puttered to a stop after only one lap on the 'Ring and pulled off at the Brünnchen section. The two passengers jumped out of the car fire extinguisher in hand and quickly inspected the situation. There was no dramatic and schadenfreude-inducing drama like the time an Audi R8 V10 went up in flames, but this is good enough. [WorldCarFans]

2013 Lighted Boat Parade in honor of William E. Cedar, St. Clair, MI
What better way to enjoy a late afternoon watching boats get in line for a lighted parade!!! Everyone is so geared up and most of the parties start at the boat houses on Pine River as the boaters are finishing their last touches on decorating. Then, they head down to the marina and start lining up. Lights are bright and smiles on faces match as they head down the river to give the public a thrilling and exciting parade. The sun drops and the darkness give the brilliant lights a spectacular back drop. People clap and whistle from the shorelines, including the waterfront sidewalks by Pepper Joes. Everyone then gathers on the shoreline right behind Murphy's Inn to have a barbeque along with a bomb fire, music, dancing and drinks of choice. The next 2014 Lighted Boat Parade will be coming up in August. Be sure to show up! Call the Chamber office for additional information.Read More

Britton brushes off rough outing amid competition
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Zach Britton, vying for Baltimore's final rotation spot, didn't help his cause Wednesday with a disappointing start against the Blue Jays in which he allowed five earned runs and didn't make it out of the second inning. But as Opening Day draws near, the 25-year-old left-hander said he "definitely" still thinks it's possible he opens the season as the Orioles' fifth starter.
"I don't think stats are everything they are looking at," said Britton, who is competing primarily with Jake Arrieta, Steve Johnson and Brian Matusz, and has a 6.10 spring ERA. "Obviously, you don't want to have a game like this at all -- whether it's the season or Spring Training -- but I think there's other stuff they are looking at. I feel healthy, my stuff has been pretty good. Obviously, the results today weren't very good, but the velocity has been pretty good, movement on pitches has been pretty good."
Making his third spring start and fifth appearance, Britton gave up seven hits, including Emilio Bonifacio's two-run homer, and walked two while he recorded only five outs. He walked two of the first three batters, loading the bases before J.P. Arencibia smoked a three-run double into left-center field to give Toronto a 3-0 lead before he recorded a single out. Britton needed 24 pitches to record his first out, 36 to complete the first inning, and 59 before manager Buck Showalter lifted him with two on and two out in the second inning.
"That's true," Showalter said when told of Britton's belief the Orioles are not using a purely statistical analysis in making a decision on their fifth starter. "That's what we are doing. That's why I said what I did. Zach has pitched well down here for the most part, hitter-friendly day and it didn't go his way.
"He's pitched well for the most part. He's had a couple of less-than-what-he's-capable outings, and the rest of them have been pretty good."
Britton said he was working on his four-seam fastball and acknowledged it's tough to find the balance of trying to improve while fighting for a spot.
"You've got to find the balance between them," said Britton, who went 5-3 with a 5.07 ERA in 12 appearances last year after starting the season on the disabled list. "I wasn't getting ahead, and there were probably sometimes where I could have gone to a sinker and maybe tried to get out of the inning instead of being stubborn and going with the four-seamer. But I trusted [catcher Matt Wieters] behind there. I kind of went with what he wanted to call. He knew the game plan, and I think sometimes it's more important that you work on it, and if you do have a bad outing, it's Spring Training. But I don't have the luxury of having an outing like that when you're competing for a spot."
Britton has allowed seven earned runs this spring on 13 hits and four walks, striking out seven over 10 1/3 innings. He finished up his work Wednesday in the bullpen and may only get one more start before the team makes a decision on its fifth starter.
"I think you just have to show you bounce back, I think that's the biggest thing here," he said. "Showing that you are healthy. I felt like my rhythm was good on the mound. It just wasn't there, I didn't really sync it up. It was just a matter of getting the ball down and locate it better."

FRAMINGHAM - Framingham State University has snapped up another property on�the edge of campus, this time a�vacant manufacturing�building on Mayhew Street. �
The site, listed as 9-11 Mayhew St. in�state land records, cost just over $1 million.
Dale Hamel, Framingham State's�executive vice president of administration, finance, and information technology, said the�building, formerly home to�a company in Holliston�that makes temperature sensors and related products,�will house the university's facilities department.
The facilities offices need to move out of their current home on campus�in a house on Maynard Road that is scheduled to be torn down next spring to make way for a new dorm. The acquisition of the Mayhew Street property is part of that estimated $37 million construction project, Hamel said.
In the short-term, the university will have to do minimal renovations to the Mayhew facility to prepare it for the move, Hamel said.
"We'll have to do some work between now and March," he said. "But the front end of the building is all office space."
Framingham State is also bringing in an architect this fall to help figure out what to do with the rest of the facility, which was used as manufacturing space by the NANMAC Corp. Hamel said the section of the building could be used as art labs, for example, but the university won't know for sure until it finds out the cost of an overhaul.
Any�money spent�on the Mayhew site beyond the purchase of the property will have to�come�from Framingham State, he added. The school is financing the new dorm through the Massachusetts State College Building Authority, which pays for projects with rent and fees�from students who use the facilities.
The building authority also purchased the Mayhew property on behalf of Framingham State. The acquisition joins a list of properties the authority has bought for the university along Salem End Road since last March, most of which will be used by FSU as a new parking lot. The latest purchase brings the total cost of that expansion�to around $8.7 million.
The new parking lot, which will add 262 spaces on the western edge of campus, is intended in part to replace 130 parking spaces that will be lost to the new dorm. The 286-bed residence hall�will be�built in�Framingham State's�Maynard Road lot, currently the largest parking area on campus.
Pending the university's receipt of a final state permit, Hamel said construction of the Salem End Road parking lot will likely begin after this week. Part of the work will involve demolishing the non-historic sections of a building at 1000 Worcester Road generally referred to as the 1812 House. The significant portion of the�structure�will be preserved and used by Framingham State as a college planning center for local high school students.

Ferrari apprentices
"One in a thousand makes it,†sang the popular Italian singer-songwriter Gianni Morandi in the Eighties. But 11 new technical apprentices from Ferrari North Europe have proved to be even luckier than that because they had to see off over 1100 contemporaries before being selected to begin a course that could see them become Ferrari engineers within three years.
Matthew, Gareth, Sam, Harrison, Naheem, Arun, Jagpal, Emilio, Charlie, Jonathan and Akbar: for these young hopefuls today is the first day of a three-year apprenticeship that will first take them to a 24-week course in the United Kingdom base at Slough before working in the field at one of the dealerships that make up Ferrari's UK sales network. The apprentices will learn to work on both current and used cars, with which they could have to work in their future roles.
Today there were four hosts for the apprentices' training – Sam, Daniel, Amdaul and Archie – who had actually done the same course and who have now become fully-fledged engineers for the Maranello company. But even for those four the learning process has certainly not finished yet: it's not by chance that Ferrari has one of the highest totals of training days per employee in the motoring sector. That especially applies to engineers, given the necessary level of specialisation to work on cars that are as full of technology as those produced at Maranello.
The Ferrari North Europe apprenticeship programme is open to anyone with a diploma from 16 years up: do you want to have a go? Register at www.ferrari-apprenticetraining.co.uk and… good luck!

U.S. v. WRIGHT(1913)
Assistant Attorney General Denison for plaintiff in error.
Mr. James C. Denton for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Pitney delivered the opinion of the court:
The defendant in error was indicted in the United States district court for the eastern district of Oklahoma, the charge being that-'on the 19th day of March, in the year 1912, in the county of Muskogee, in the said [229 U.S. 226, 227] district, and within the jurisdiction of said court, the said county and district then and there being a portion of the Indian country of the said United States, (he) did at the time and place aforesaid, unlawfully, wilfully, knowingly, and feloniously introduce into said Indian country one quart of malt, vinous, spirituous, distilled, ardent, and intoxicating liquor, to wit, whisky. Contrary to the form of the statute in such case made and provided,' etc.
The district court sustained his demurrer, and the case is brought here under the criminal appeals act.
The statutes involved are: 2139 of the Revised Statutes, as amended by the act of July 23, 1892, (chap. 234, 27 Stat. at L. 260), and by the act of January 30, 1897 (chap. 109, 29 Stat. at L. 506); also 8 of the act of March 1, 1895 (chap. 145, 28 Stat. at L. 693); and the Oklahoma enabling act of June 16, 1906 (chap. 3335, 34 Stat. at L. 267). Extracts from these are set forth in footnotes to the opinion in Ex parte Webb, 225 U.S. 663, 671 , 677 S., 56 L. ed. 1248, 1251, 1254, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 769. Muskogee county is a part of what was the Indian territory.
The district court in effect construed the indictment as charging, not an interstate transaction, but an introduction of liquor from a point within the state of Oklahoma, but outside of what is now Indian country, into such Indian country. The decision of this court in the Webb Case, which had to do with 8 of the act of March 1, 1895, and the effect of the enabling act upon it; and also the decision of the circuit court of appeals for the eighth circuit in United States Exp. Co. v. Friedman, 112 C. C. A. 219, 191 Fed. 673, and Mosier v. United States, 117 C. C. A. 162, 198 Fed. 54,-both of which turned upon the effect of the enabling act upon the act of January 30, 1897,-were reviewed by the district court, and the conclusion reached, principally because of the line of reasoning expressed in the opinion in the Webb Case, was 'that the provisions of Rev. Stat. 2139, as amended by the act of 1892 and the act of 1897, so far as they related, if at all, to the introduction [229 U.S. 226, 228] of liquor into the Indian territory from points outside of that territory, but within what is now Oklahoma, must be considered as having been repealed by the enabling act.'
And again: 'This confines offenses of this character, of which the Federal court has jurisdiction, to those in which the liquor is introduced from a point without the state. It is a violation of the state law, as established by the constitutional provision above referred to, to introduce liquor into what was formerly Indian Territory from some other portion of Oklahoma, but such violation is an offense exclusively within the jurisdiction of the state court. In order to give the Federal court jurisdiction, it is necessary that the introuduction of the liquor should have been from a point without the state. This is an essential element of the offense, so far as the Federal court is concerned, and should therefore be charged in the indictment. It follows that the demurrer must be sustained.'
The criminal appeals act (chap. 2564, 34 Stat. at L. 1246) provides for a writ of error, to be taken by the United States from the district court direct to this court, from a decision or judgment sustaining a demurrer to an indictment, 'where such decision or judgment is based upon the invalidity or construction of the statute upon which the indictment is founded.' The present case is clearly within this act, as previously interpreted and applied. United States v. Sutton, 215 U.S. 291, 294 , 54 S. L. ed. 200, 201, 30 Sup. Ct. Rep. 116; United States v.

Upon the merits, the principal question is whether the acts of 1892 and of 1897 were repealed, as to intrastate [229 U.S. 226, 229] transactions, by the effect of the enabling act and the admission of the state, with the constitutional prohibition of the liquor traffic that was prescribed by that act. It is not contended that there was any express repeal. The insistence that there was a necessary repeal by implication is supported by arguments that may be outlined as follows:
(a) That since the act of 1895 was a special act, applicable by name to the Indian territory, it had the necessary effect of superseding as to that territory the existing general statute ( 2139, Rev. Stat., as amended in 1892) against the introduction and sale of intoxicating liquors in the Indian country.
(b) That 8 of the act of 1895 was in turn superseded or repealed in toto by the act of 1897 and the enabling act.
(c) Or else, that the act of 1897, because amendatory only of the general statute against the introduction and sale of intoxicating liquors in the Indian country, had no effect upon the act of 1895, and did not apply to the Indian territory because that territory was covered by the act of 1895
(d) And that whether the acts of 1892 and 1897, or either of them, was in force in Indian territory prior to the admission of Oklahoma as a state, they were necessarily superseded as to intrastate transactions by the force and effect of that act, upon the same grounds on which this court said in the Webb Case that the act of 1895 was superseded.
Section 2139, Rev. Stat., providing for the punishment of persons introducing liquor into the Indian country, traces its origin to 20 of the Indian intercourse act of June 30, 1834 (chap. 161, 4 Stat. at L. 732), as amended by act of March 15, 1864 (chap. 33, 13 Stat. at L. 29). The amendment of 1892 (set forth in 225 U.S. 671 ) extended the prohibition to include ale, beer, and intoxicating liquors of any kind, as well as ardent spirts and wine, and added a clause [229 U.S. 226, 230] fixing the venue for complaints, arrests, and trials, including a special provision that complaints for offenses committed in the Indian territory should be made before the United States court commissioner, or commissioner of the circuit court of the United States, residing nearest the place where the offense was committed. The penalty under this act, as under 2139, Rev. Stat., is imprisonment for not more than two years and fine of not more than $300 for each offense.
Next in chronological order was the act of March 1, 1895 (chap. 145, 28 Stat. at L. 693), the title of which is-'An Act to Provide for the Appointment of Additional Judges of the United States Court in the Indian Territory, and for Other Purposes.' Section 8 (set forth 225 U.S. 672 ) provides inter alia, that any person carrying into the territory any vinous, malt, or fermented liquors or other intoxicating drinks, shall upon conviction be punished by fine not exceeding $500 and by imprisonment for not less than one month nor more than five years. Other sections have to do with the creation of judicial districts in the territory, the establishment of courts, the appointment of judges, attorneys, marshals, clerks, etc. Section 4 adopts the criminal law provisions of Mansfield's Digest of General Laws of Arkansas, with certain reservations. And 13 declares 'that none of the provisions of any other acts, or of any of the laws of the United States, or of the state of Arkansas, heretofore put in force in said Indian territory, except so far as they come in conflict with the provisions of this act, are intended to be repealed or in any manner affected by this act, but all such acts and laws are to remain in full force and effect in said territory.'
The act of January 30, 1897 (chap. 109, 29 Stat. at L. 506), while having an independent title,-'An Act to Prohibit the sale of Intoxicating Drinks to Indians, providing Penalties Therefor, and for Other Purposes,'- was manifestly intended primarily as an amendment of the act of 1892. [229 U.S. 226, 231] This appears from a comparsion of the clauses defining the acts prohibited, from the circumstance that the act of 1897 contains no provisions of its own prescribing the venue for complaints, arrests, and trials, and especially from the provision of its 2d section, 'that so much of the act of the twenty-third day of July, 1892, as is inconsistent with the provisions of this act, is hereby repealed.' The prohibition is made to apply to sales of intoxicants 'to any Indian to whom allotment of land has been made while the title to the same shall be held in trust by the government, or to any Indian, a ward of the government, under charge of any Indian superintendent or agent, or any Indian, including mixed bloods, over whom the government, through its departments, exercises guardianship;' and the familiar prohibition of the introduction of intoxicants 'into the Indian country' is repeated, with the addition of the following new clause: 'Which term shall include any Indian allotment while the title to the same shall be held in trust by the government, or while the same shall remain inalienable by the allotee without the consent of the United States.' And the act provides that any person violating its provisions 'shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than sixty days, and by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars for the first offense, and not less than two hundred dollars for each offense thereafter.'
The act of 1895, although evidently in pari materia, is not mentioned in the act of 1897. This circumstance, coupled with the fact that the latter act contains an express repealing clause, is, we think, negatively significant upon the question of implied repeal. In our opinion the act of 1897 was not intended to take the place of 8 of the act of 1895 after the manner of a revision, and there is no such complete repugnance as to render it clear that that section was intended to be repealed in toto.
It is contended that, while the act of 1892 covered the [229 U.S. 226, 232] subject of the introduction and sale of intoxicating liquors in Indian country, and was applicable to the Indian territory because it was Indian country, the passage by Congress of the act of 1895,-a special act applicable to the territory by name, and covering, by its 8th section, the general subject of the introduction and sale of intoxicating liquors therein,-necessarily superseded the former act, so far as the territory was concerned.
To show the purpose that Congress had in mind in passing this act of 1895, the argument is that prior to the general allotment act of February 8, 1887 (24 Stat. at L. 388, chap. 119), all Indian lands were held in common by the Indian tribes; that soon thereafter it came to be questioned whether 2139, Rev. Stat., as amended by the 1892 act, would apply to an Indian allottee and his allotment under the 1887 act, for the reason that upon allotment thereunder the individual Indian became a citizen of the United States, and his allotment ceased to be Indian country under the accepted definition (Bates v. Clark, 95 U.S. 204 , 24 L. ed. 471; Ex parte Crow Dog [Ex parte Kang-Gi-Shun-Ca] 109 U.S. 556 , 27 L. ed. 1030, 3 Sup. Ct. Rep. 396), because of the Indian title having been extinguished; that beginning with the act of March 3, 1893 (27 Stat. at L. 645, 646, chap. 209), Congress began to contemplate the allotment in severalty of all lands within the Indian territory, and to look forward to the ultimate creation of a new state out of that territory; that it was supposed that the effect of allotment would be the same as under the 1887 act, in that the lands allotted would cease to be Indian country; and that hence Congress passed 8 of the 1895 act, in order that the people residing in Indian territory might not be left without protection against the introduction and sale of intoxicants when the 1892 act should become inoperative because of the extinguishment of the Indian titles. This argument is ingenious, and has much force; but it takes too litle account, we think, of 13 of the act of 1895, above quoted. [229 U.S. 226, 233] Assuming all that is claimed as to the general object that Congress had in view during these years when the Indian territory was in a transition state, it seems to us safer to rely upon the words of the several acts of 1892, 1895, and 1897 in order to determine the true intent and meaning of the lawmaker. If Congress, in enacting the 8th section of the act of 1895, had intended to totally supersede the act of 1892 as to the Indian territory, that purpose would naturally have been expressed in plain terms. And so would the act of 1897 presumably have expressed the purpose to supersede and repeal that section, if such purpose had existed. The very fact that Congress contemplated that the situation in Indian territory was but temporary,-that either because of statehood, or because of the allotment of the Indian lands in severalty, the necessity for retaining these prohibitory laws upon the statute book would not long continue,-tends to negative a desire on the part of Congress to presently repeal either of them; and therefore rebuts the presumption of an implied repeal of one act by the other.
It seems to us, upon the whole, that during this transition period preceding the admission of Oklahoma as a state, the several acts referred to were intended to and did stand together, excepting so far (if at all) as they were necessarily repugnant one to the other; that is to say, the act of 1892, as amended in 1897, on the one hand, making 'Indian country' ( a term defined in Bates v. Clark, supra; Clairmont v. United States, 225 U.S. 551, 558 , 56 S. L. ed. 1201, 1204, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 787, and cases cited) the test of the prohibition respecting the introduction of intoxicants; and the act of 1895, on the other hand, employing the territorial test, irrespective of whether it was or continued to be Indian country.
We thus come to consider the effect of the enabling act of June 16, 1906 (chap. 3335, 34 Stat. at L. 267), and the admission of Oklahoma as a state thereunder, which occurred November 16, 1907. [229 U.S. 226, 234] The pertinent clauses of the act may be found in 225 U.S. 677 , 56 L. ed. 1254, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 769, the clause respecting liquor prohibition being especially important. We should also note the proviso in the 1st section, that nothing in the state Constitution should 'be construed to limit or impair the rights of person or property pertaining to the Indians of said territories (so long as such rights shall remain unextinguished) or to limit or affect the authority of the government of the United States to make any law or regulation respecting such Indians, their lands, property, or other rights by treaties, agreement, law, or otherwise, which it would have been competent to make if this act had never been passed.' And also this clause from the 21st section: 'All laws in force in the territory of Oklahoma at the time of the admission of said state into the Union shall be in force throughout said state, except as modified or changed by this act or by the Constitution of the state, and the laws of the United States not locally inapplicable shall have the same force and effect within said state as elsewhere within the United states.'
It is suggested, rather than argued, that the reservation of 'the authority of the government of the United States to make any law or regulation respecting such Indians, their lands, property, or other rights, by treaties, agreement, law, or otherwise, which it would have been competent to make if this act had never been passed,' evidences a purpose not to preserve prior laws or regulations respecting the Indians. But this is sufficiently answered by what was said in Ex parte Webb, 225 U.S. 663, 682 , 56 S. L. ed. 1248, 1256, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 769, where the view of the court was expressed as follows: 'It is contended that this does not preserve the existing laws and regulations respecting the Indians, but rather excludes the inference of their continued force and existence by indicating a purpose on the part of Congress to thereafter enact regulations for the protection of the Indians in Oklahoma if necessity requires. This, we think, is an [229 U.S. 226, 235] inadmissible construction. We deem it unreasonable to suppose that Congress, possessing the constitutional power and recognizing the moral duty to make laws and regulations respecting the Indians, and having already established laws and regulations of this character applicable in the territory, including some that were established by treaties and agreements, should resolve to wipe them out, and thereby impose upon future Congresses the labor and difficulty of establishing other proper laws and regulations in their stead. In our opinion, the purpose expressed in the proviso to reserve to the government of the United States the authority to make laws and regulations in the future respecting the Indians is, under the circumstances, evidence tending to negative a purpose to repeal by implication the existing laws and regulations on the subject.'
When it is recalled that the new state was made up by combining two territories theretofore separately existing under different systems of laws, one of them being largely inhabited by Indian tribes, with whom numerous treaties had previously been made, differing from each other in many respects, but each recognizing to some extent the propriety of restricting the liquor traffic, the importance of these clauses in the enabling act-read, as they of course must be read, in connection with the restriction of the manufacture and sale of liquors within those parts of the state known as the Indian territory and the Osage Indian Reservation for a period of twenty-one years, imposed upon the new state by 3 of the act-is very evident.
In the Webb Case, as appears from the opinion, p. 676, the government conceded that the act of 1895 had been repealed by the enabling act and the admission of the state thereunder, saving so far as it prohibited the carrying of intoxicating liquors, etc., from another state into the territory. The statement to the like effect in the [229 U.S. 226, 236] opinion, p. 681, was made in view of this concession; but we see no reason for recalling it. The language used was: 'No doubt the enabling act, followed by the adoption of the Constitution therein prescribed and the admission of the new state, had the effect of remitting to the state government the enforcement of the prohibition respecting the manufacture, sale, barter, etc., of intoxicating liquors within the state, and respecting commerce in such liquors conducted wholly within the state; and to the extent that the scheme of prohibition established by the enabling act covered the same field that had been covered by the act of 1895, the latter act must be considered as impliedly repealed.' But this had reference only to the act of 1895, and not to the act of 1897, it having previously been stated in the opinion (p. 676) that since 2139, Rev. Stat., and the act of 1897, contained provisions respecting the sale of intoxicating liquors to Indians, and in this and perhaps in other important respects covered ground not covered by the act of 1895, we must not be understood as deciding that those prohibitions were no longer in force within what was the Indian territory.
But, because the act of 1895 was impliedly repealed with respect to intrastate manufacture and traffic, it does not necessarily follow that the act of 1892, as amended in 1897, was likewise repealed in respect of that traffic, by the enabling act and the admission of the state. The one was a territorial prohibition applicable to the Indian territory because made so by Congress, irrespective of other considerations; while the other act, applicable to Indian country throughout the states and territories generally, happened to be applicable to the Indian territory because that was Indian country. But, as already pointed out, in passing the enabling act, Congress knew that if, and when, and so far as, portions of the Indian territory ceased to be Indian country, the acts of 1892 and 1897 would cease to apply, irrespective [229 U.S. 226, 237] OF STATEHOOD; AND ON THE OTHER HAND, MUST be deemed to have intended that the establishment of statehood should repeal the act of 1895 with respect to matters wholly intrastate, because that act (whatever reasons may have moved Congress to enact it) was, by its terms, applicable to the territory as a territory and as a whole, irrespective of whether it was Indian country; and this kind of internal prohibition of the liquor traffic would naturally cease with statehood, because inconsistent with local self- government and with equality between the states.
The terms of the act of January 30, 1897, show that it was especially designed to provide for the changes consequent upon the adoption of the policy of allotting the Indian lands in severalty. Hallowell v. United States, 221 U.S. 317 , 55 L. ed. 750, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 587. This policy was in progress in the Indian territory at the time of the passage of the Oklahoma enabling act. The history has been so recently rehearsed that it need not be here repeated. Tiger v. Western Invest. Co. 221 U.S. 286, 300 , 302 S., 55 L. ed. 738, 743, 744, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 578; Heckman v. United States, 224 U.S. 413, 435 , 56 S. L. ed. 820, 828, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 424; Mullen v. United States, 224 U.S. 448 , 56 L. ed. 834, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 494; Goat v. United States, 224 U.S. 458 , 56 L. ed. 841, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 541; Deming Invest. Co. v. United States, 224 U.S. 471 , 56 L. ed. 847, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 549. Every consideration arising out of the governmental guardianship over the Indians, and control over their lands, indicated that as to them the liquor prohibition should be maintained after statehood, so far as it was consistent with the control of the state over its internal police. The act of 1892, as amended in 1897, concededly remains in force in other states where there is Indian country or governmental trusteeship over Indian lands or guardianship over the Indians. United States v. Sutton, 215 U.S. 291, 295 , 54 S. L. ed. 200, 202, 30 Sup. Ct. Rep. 116. Such legislation is of undoubted constitutionality, United States v. Kagama, 118 U.S. 375, 383 , 30 S. L. ed. 228, 231, 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1109; Ex parte Webb, supra. The prohibition against introducing liquor into the Indian country has been consistently adhered [229 U.S. 226, 238] to for many years, with beneficial results so far as the welfare of the Indians is concerned.
All of these considerations were presumably in the mind of Congress when it passed the enabling act, and they are inconsistent with any tacit purpose to repeal the acts of 1892 and 1897. The liquor prohibition, so far as it concerns the Indians, has always been deemed one of the peculiar responsibilities of the government at Washington, and it may easily be believed that Congress felt reluctant to delegate the subject-matter wholly to the state government that was about to be established in the Indian territory; especially as the same subject-matter in other states remained, as it still remains, under Federal control.
In United States Exp. Co. v. Friedman, 112 C. C. A. 219, 191 Fed. 673, the circuit court of appeals for the eighth circuit held that the enabling act did not repeal the act of 1897, at least, with respect to the introduction of liquor into the Indian country from points outside the state. In Mosier v. United States, 117 C. C. A. 162, 198 Fed. 54, the same court held the act of 1897 to be in force within the state so far as relates to the sale of liquors to Indians.
Upon the whole, while the matter is not free from difficulty, it seems to us the better argument is against the implied repeal. It follows that the District Court erred in holding the acts in question, viz.: 2139, Rev. Stat., as amended by the acts of 1892 and 1897, to be no longer in force, and erred in sustaining the demurrer to the indictment. The judgment should be reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings in accordance with the views above expressed.
Judgment reversed.

This report of a ship arrival at Table Bay is a good example of the usefulness - as well as the limitations - of this type of source for family history research.
The ship in question is the Abercrombie Robinson, a troop transport, and the year is 1842.
Leaving aside for the moment the dramatic events surrounding this vessel's arrival, the report emphasises the lack of detailed information given by the press about the rank and file of the military on board ships.
True to form, officers are named but NCO's and privates are not. Neither are soldiers' wives and children. Note the difference in terminology between the ladies of the officers and the soldiers' wives of the lower ranks. Class distinction was alive and well on vessels in the mid-19th c.
'454 non-commissioned officers' of the 91st Regiment's Reserve Battalion could hide numerous potential forebears from our view. Ditto the 11 NCOs and privates of the Cape Mounted Rifleman, travelling with '1 woman and 4 children' (no ladies here). 'Two pensioners' remain obscure - as do their families.
A detachment of the 27th Regiment offers 32 unnamed NCOs, with a couple of wives and '1 soldier's child'.
On a personal note, I found it curious that the two Ensigns leading this detachment were DALZELL and HAMILTON - surnames inter-linked in my own family history and an incentive to follow-up the reference.
The report underlines that wives (of all classes) did 'follow the drum', and at no little risk to themselves. Also, it gives an indication of the continual movement of British troops in and out of the Colony, back and forth between Britain and South Africa. The Abercrombie Robinson was intending to make for Algoa Bay to disembark her military passengers and embark members of other units before heading 'home'.
This was not to be: the vessel was wrecked in Table Bay during a north-west gale on 28th August 1842 - two days after the above report appeared in the South African Commercial Advertiser.
More in a future post.
Note also the brief letter below the report, concerning a lighthouse to be built on Cape Agulhas and Cape Receife. A topic to come back to later.

The newly blonde mom was photographed out running errands on Wednesday
Kim Kardashian is taking in the final few days of summer in style.
The new mom, 32, stepped out in Beverly Hills on Wednesday in dark, rolled-up pants and a gold-belted, low-cut white dressy top, revealing her full post-baby body.
With her new blonde locks in full view, the slimmed-down reality starlet looked relaxed, wearing shades and keeping one hand in her pocket and the other with cell phone in hand.
Kardashian's time in the public eye since giving birth to daughter North has been limited. It wasn't until the middle of last month that she was photographed for the first time since having her baby with boyfriend Kanye West.

Jonathan Duncan has been selected as the NCAA's vice president of enforcement.
Before joining the NCAA in March 2013 as the interim vice president of enforcement, Duncan worked with the Association for 15 years as outside counsel from multiple perspectives, including service to both the Enforcement and Rules Working Groups.
"As interim vice president of enforcement, Jon led the team through a difficult time, and the enforcement team, and national office as a whole, grew and benefited from his service." said Mark Emmert, NCAA president. "As Jon's term as interim vice president drew to a close, I knew he was the best person to continue leading our enforcement team."
"Over the past year I watched Jon lead his team with exceptional integrity and poise," said Jim Isch, NCAA chief operating officer. "His leadership reestablished the confidence of his staff and of the membership. I look forward to his continued success."
As interim vice president of enforcement, Duncan focused on completing an in-depth review of all department policies and procedures, consulted with the membership about what they envision for the enforcement department and provided staff with new tools, training and other resources to develop investigative skills.
"I am fortunate to have the opportunity to continue leading this hard-working, talented staff," said Duncan. "Our team provides a valuable resource to the membership – satisfying our charge to uphold integrity and fair play by conducting investigations that are fair, accurate, collaborative and timely. Together, we are ready to build upon the great work the enforcement team has already accomplished."
Prior to joining the NCAA, Duncan was a partner at the law firm of Spencer Fane Britt & Browne, LLP and spent the five years prior at another Kansas City firm, Husch Blackwell. At both firms, education and sports were the core of his work. He first represented the NCAA in litigation in 1998. Since then, he has served as a legal advisor for the NCAA and offered legal counsel to NCAA committees, working groups and task forces.
Duncan is a graduate of William Jewell College, now part of Division II, and graduated from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1995, where he was a published member of the Kansas Law Review. After law school, he spent two years working as a law clerk for the Honorable D. Brook Bartlett, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. Since then, he has spent much of his professional career forging relationships inside the NCAA national office and among the NCAA's member schools.

Mod S - 1000 new orders from Norway this year, so far :)
Mod S - 1000 new orders from Norway this year, so far :)
Wow, that's exciting. Can you state your source? Also, how does the Model S perform in extreme cold weather - which is the weather in most of Norway most of the year?
Yes, TM estimates the US, EU, and Asia will end up about equal in sales. So if Norway continues buying ½ the EU total, that would be about ½ the US total, too. With under 2% of the population!
Yep, the Leaf has nearly 2% of the total car market here this year. It is the 13th most sold model.
@ dahtye:
I have the same number, or to be exact, 800 a few weeks ago. That number is total reservations though, not only 2012 I believe. Source is Tesla Norway. But reservations are popping in like crazy after we had 1 (or actually 2 now) demo cars in the Tesla showroom, giving test drives. So 1000 may very well be the number now. Model S has got a lot of media coverage, and people are not believing their ears when they hear about Model S. Some of us have tried to spread the gospel for 3.5 years, we knew this was big. Now we welcome our friends after.
Regarding your weather expectations for Norway, you are actually quite a bit off target, but you are certainly not alone. We have usually a cold winter for 3-4 months, but then it is a lovely spring, a warm and nice summer and a refreshing fall/autumn. Four lovely season. :-)
Flyer, R23
IIRC Norway doesn't have VAT on electric vehicles and they have >$8/gallon of gas, so electric is really a no-brainer there as long as you don't do extremely long daily trips (and after couple of SC installs even that goes away).
Norway is next to Atlantic Gulf Stream , so temperatures don't go quite as extreme as in inland at that same latitude, summer is a bit less warm (sea cools it down) and winter less cold (sea keeps it warmer). Same effect extends to Finland as well, but in lesser decree, when we get climates that originate from Russia it tends to get either really cold or really hot (and dry).
Gulf Stream is a main reason why entire northern Europe doesn't look like Greenland. If it moves we get local Ice Age at no time flat.
It is more than the VAT that is gone. Here are the main reasons:
No VAT (25% normally)
No import tax (varies depending on kW, cc, weight and CO2 and NOX emissions)
BMW M5 cost >300000 USD
Tesla = US price
Cheap electricity, was down to 2-3 cent parts of 2012 summer
No road tax
Free parking, and if with outlet, free power too.
Drive in the bus lanes (saves about 45 minutes in to Oslo from west)
No yearly road fee (500 USD per year)
Most of us have three phase electicity to our house, and all newly built areas have 400V three phase, so we can charge the car really quick in most cases. Standard sockets have 230V 16A, so 3,6kW from you living room socket if that is the only option, which it rarely is.
So, you get a car that is 1/3 or less of the price of comparable models (mostly kW drives the taxes), low maintenance cost, low running cost, and with power that is unrivaled in it's price range. The tax alone for 362hp is about the price of the whole Model S price if you buy petrol/diesel. It really is a no-brainer. We have one of the worlds highest car taxes, and suddenly we get awesome cars without paying tax, or even VAT.
...and almost all the electricity is created using hydro AFAIK, so BEV is truly green car there too. BEV dream country for sure.
Wow, the Norwegians must really be rolling in kroner too. Good for them!
And I thought there was on efantastic salesperson in Norway... I was going to hire him for my business!
What could be better than to have a beautiful country with Tesla MS everywhere. Better yet, this will make all the Swedes envious. Doesn't get any better than that!

WASHINGTON – Three children reported missing Sunday evening have been found and police have canceled an Amber Alert issued to help find them.
Prince George's County police say the children are safe and were never in the car or in danger. The children's mother – 33-year-old Deborah Fashakin of Capitol Heights, Md. – has been charged with making a false report to a law enforcement officer.
Police began looking for Brian, 5, Denise, 3, and Jacklyn Fashakin, 2, Sunday evening after their mother reported that someone got into her Nissan Altima as she was pumping gas and drove away from a gas station at Central Avenue and Ritchie Road.
The Maryland State Police issued a formal Amber Alert before 11 p.m. Police found the car about an hour later in the District. Soon after, police reported that the children had been found.
Police say that the woman's car was stolen. But detectives believe that the woman reported that her children were in the Altima so police would respond faster.
Fashakin is being held on a $5,000 bond. Police say the charge against her carries a penalty of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine.
