1878-CC T$1 Trade VF30 Certification #26664029, PCGS #7047
Expert Comments
Jack BeymerI have handled more 1794 dollars than I have 1878-CC Trade dollars.
David HallThis is an incredibly underrated coin in all grades. Long time coin dealer Jack Beymer, who has handled as many key dates coins as anyone, says he has handled more 1794 dollars than 1878-CC trade dollars. That's an incredible statement and shows how truly rare this coin is in any grade.
Q. David BowersThe following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993):
Coinage Context
Made rare by decree. Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman, who disliked trade dollars intensely (even though the director of the Mint, Dr. Henry Linderman, believed they were an excellent, useful coin), mandated on February 22, 1878, that no trade dollars would be raid out for deposits of bullion made prior to the order for discontinuance when received at Carson City.
When this order reached Carson City, this branch mint had already struck 97,000 pieces; 56,000 in January and 41,000 in February-the smallest circulation strike quantity of the denomination. Thus, a rarity was created.
Melting: On July 19, 1878, 44,148 undistributed trade dollars went to the melting pot. All must have been dated 1878-CC, many from the 41,000 delivered in February.(It has been suggested that some in the melt (popularly believed to be fewer than 10,000) may have been of the 1877-CC issue. However, as R.W. Julian has noted, "There is no support for the claim that some of these were dated 1877. Coins were paid out as struck and, under normal circumstances, only coins of 1878 would have been available for melting in July. " Letter to the author, August 22, 1992.)
This leaves a net mintage for distribution of only 52,852 coins.
Numismatic Information
A prime rarity: By all accounts the 1878-CC is the most popular rarity among circulation strike trade dollars. Other coins (such as 1873-CC and 1876-CC) may be rarer in the highest Mint State levels of MS-64 and finer, but it is 1878-CC that gets the most publicity. The reason, of course, is its mintage figure, which is by far the lowest in the series. Indeed, especially in Mint State a beautiful 1878-CC is an object of admiration and desire. Relatively few exist at this grade level.
Circulated grades: In grades from VF-20 to AU-58 the 1878-CC is the rarest and most desirable circulation strike trade dollar issue. I have never seen even a small group of these, and this includes in inspections of bulk lots imported from the Orient. Douglas Cass has reported than in his extensive search for trade dollars in the Orient in the early 1980s, 1878-CCs were virtually non-existent,(Per conversation between the author and Douglass Cass, August 26, 1992.) Most circulated coins of this issue are in higher grade levels such as EF and AU. It seems likely that for some reason most of the 1878-CC mintage remained in the United States. In America, they certainly did not circulate hand to hand as legal tender; perhaps they were simply retained as bullion coins, with an intention (never fulfilled) to export, by one or more commercial interests.
Chopmarked coins: The theme continues with chop marked coins; the 1878-CC is the rarest chopmarked trade dollar. Concerning these, John M. Willem wrote the following:
It is extremely difficult to find an 1878-CC with a genuine Chinese chopmark, It is the author's considered opinion that a chopmarked 1878-CC is the rarest of the trade dollars in any condition. Of those of this date and mint which circulated in the United States most undoubtedly were among those redeemed and melted, since they were not defaced, during the redemption period in 1887.
Apparently, relatively few were sent to China, and most probably remained in the United States.
Mint State grades: In Mint State grades the 1878-CC is rare and highly desirable. The desire to own a Mint State coin of this issue is increased by the fame of the 1878-CC as the rarest of all Carson City trade dollars from a mintage viewpoint. However, in MS-65 there are six to 10 known, which does not rank it at the top of the list in rarity. (However, trade dollar specialist Andrew P. Harris, M.D., states that certain certification population reports of MS-64 1878-CC trade dollars may have been unduly influenced by the resubmission five times of a single coin. As such population reports form a part of my data, if this is true, the 1878-CC may be rarer in MS-64 than indicated. Letter to the author, dated August 27, 1992.) In fact, a whole string of circulation strike trade dollars are rarer at this level: 1873-S, 1875-CC, 1877, 1873-CC, 1874-CC, 1874-S, 1875-S/CC, 1876-CC, and 1877-CC. Although the order of such rarity ratings will undoubtedly change as years pass and new discoveries are made, still the 1878-CC probably will never rank as among the very rarest MS-65 trade dollars. However, it will probably remain among the most expensive, due to its reputation as an overall rare date.
In MS-64 grade perhaps 20 to 40 are known, and at the MS-63 level the population is probably on the order of 15 to 25. Here is an unusual distribution:
MS-63 coins are rarer than MS-64 pieces. At the MS-60 to 62 level, about. 20 to 40 are known-about the same rarity as MS-64. When a Mint State 1878-CC trade dollar is seen, it is just as apt to be in a middle to high Mint State level as in a low one. This is because the 1878-CC was struck late in the game, and coins did not see the extensive distribution or hard use in circulation accorded to earlier varieties in the series.
A 1980 commentary: In their 1980 study, Maurice Rosen and Robert Emmer found the 1878-CC to be the fourth rarest trade dollar in terms of Mint State examples. They examined six Mint State pieces and about 15 AU pieces, and reported that coins advertised were often overgraded.
Circulation strikes.(A die-struck 1878-CC with Type I reverse was examined by John Lazirko (Lazirko, p. 39) and found to be a counterfeit weighing 382 grains; in addition, the E in E PLURIBUS UNUM was missing. Also see 1877-S Type II/I.)
1. Tall CC. Normal 8 and CC, first C low: Breen-5822. Mintmark 1.17 mm high; .35 mm spacing between C's. Rare. Die used to coin 1877-CC trade dollars.
2. Tall CC. Repunched 8 and CC: Breen-5823. Mintmark 1.17 mm high; .35 mm spacing between C's. Rare.
3. Repunched 8 with misplaced CC, far to right above DO: Breen-5824. Rare.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 2 or more; Reverse: 3 or more (including at least one held over from 1877)
Circulation strike mintage: 97,000 (44,148 melted; net mintage available for distribution: 52,852, probably all from the January mintage). Delivery figures by month: January: 56,000; February: 41,000.
Estimated quantity melted: Possibly nearly half (or even more) of the mintage, as part of 44,148 trade dollars melted at the Carson City Mint on July 19, 1878.
Characteristics of striking: Usually seen well struck and, in Mint State grades, with smooth, satiny lustre.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: None
Rarity with original Chinese chopmark(s): Rarest of all chop marked trade dollars.
Very few were ever chopmarked; apparently, most remained in the United States. 1878-CC is considered by numismatists to be the key issue among circulation strike trade dollars. This is true except in grades of MS-64 and higher.

On Sunday I finally got to see the Great Tapestry of Scotland. I was completely blown away by the vision of Alistair Moffat (who produced the tapestry's historical content and context), Andrew Crummy (the superb artist who designed these 160 panels) and perhaps especially by the skill and beauty of the work of the thousand Scottish women and men who stitched it. It was displayed in the singularly fitting surroundings of the Anchor Mill in Paisley. The atmosphere in this wonderful space was electric. There were people of all ages there, and everyone was completely transfixed by the tapestry, and were clearly enjoying it tremendously. I heard several exclamations of delight at particular details, as well as folk sharing personal recollections in front of individual panels. Some of the panels moved me to tears, others made me laugh out loud and viewing this terrific work was a truly incredible experience.
The Great Tapestry of Scotland has a monunmental name, and it is certainly a monumental thing – but importantly, it is not in the least pompous or in any way up itself. Rather than telling the story of a nation through a top-down celebratory narrative of kings and queens and battles, it tells that story from the bottom up, in pleasingly piecemeal fashion, allowing many different identities, and many regional and linguistic differences to be included and represented. Scotland here is the sum of many different parts, and historical change is an uneven, and often deeply conflicted process. And this is a history where the folk who worked to build a bridge might be celebrated in the same terms as the engineer who designed it; where a can of Irn Bru and the King James bible might both share status as national icons. The tapestry's 160 panels are alive with the colours of the landscape, with cultural invention, with the power of the imagination, with the emotive movement of time, with joy, wit, terror and sadness. That the panels sing so is testament both to Andrew Crummy's wonderful designs as well as the skill and creativity of the stitchers, and I was deeply moved by the beauty and energy of the embroidery. The story of the people who stitched it is stitched up in this incredible thing, and that is certainly part of what makes it so terrific. So I think it was the tapestry's sheer sense of shared endeavour that killed me most: that this was the best kind of collective history, created collectively. Craft and design have, I think, a unique power to bring people together in the expression and sharing of their creativity and cultural identity. In all honesty, this tapestry is the best example I've ever seen of how this might be so.
This blog serves several functions, one of which is as my own diary. I have thought quite hard about how to represent the tapestry to you, and to myself as well, so that, in the future, I can remember what I felt when I first saw it. I decided that the best way was, over several posts, to show you some of the details that really struck me. If you are interested in finding out more about the Great Tapestry of Scotland, two super books have been published about it. The first, a paperback by Susan Mansfield and Alistair Moffat, tells the story of the tapestry's creation, together with the stories of the thousand Scottish women and men who were involved in its creation. The second book is a handsome (yet very reasonably priced volume) which carefully illustrates each of the tapestry's individual panels, alongside more detailed and thorough historical information. I heartily recommend both books. And if you'd just like to look at each of the tapestry's panels, you'll find a wee slideshow here.
So here are some of the details I enjoyed from panels 1 through 23
Panels 3a and 3b The formation of Scotland / The collision. "Geology formed Scotland and the land and the sea formed the character of the people"
Panel 4 Scotland emerges from the ice. Love the figures of the fisherfolk, the detail of the currach, the graded colours of the stitching.
Panel 5: The wildwood Hare and Red Squirrel.
Panel 7: The First Farmers Wonderful textures on this panel.
Panel 8: Brochs, Crannogs and Cairns. Scotland's early vernacular architecture.
Panel 9: Pytheas the Greek visits Calanais. I was particularly struck by the way the Isle of Lewis stitchers had carefully rendered the colours and textures of the banded gneiss and lichen of the Calanais stones.
Panel 10: The coming of the legions. I love how the curls of Julius Agricola tell the story.
Panel 11: Ninian at Whithorn. Beautiful stitching, the work of a single Dumfries needlewoman, Shirley McKeand.
Panel 15: Dunnichen. Love the bold way that Andrew Crummy and the stitchers have here rendered the details of the famous Pictish stone.
Panel 17: Dumbarton Rock One of many examples of how the geology represented in the tapestry afforded the stitchers an opportunity to really show off their skills. Astounding.
Panel 20: Macbeth. Each of the tapestry's panels includes the 'signature' of the stitchers who created it at the bottom right. This one, a small sampler of every stitch and every colour used in the panel was particularly striking. The panel was stitched by Sandra and Glennie Leith, Ingrid McGown, Paddy McGruer and Rhea Scott.
Panel 22: The Flowers of the Borders. Anyone familiar with the architecture of the great Border abbeys will find the subtle pinks and greys of these stitched columns immediately evocative.
Panel 23: the medieval wool trade. One of many panels illustrating the importance of textiles and their production to Scotland's culture and economy.

AT&T on Thursday announced new, lower-cost no-contract plans for customers who pay for their own devices.
The new Mobile Share Value plans, which will be available beginning Dec. 8, will be open to new and existing wireless customers and will include a no-contract option that allows smartphone customers to save $15 per month by supplying their own device, AT&T said. To be eligible for those savings, consumers can get a new smartphone with no down payment via AT&T Next, purchase a handset at full retail price or use a device of their own.
Through the Mobile Share Value plans AT&T customers will also be able to take advantage of shared data and connect up to 10 devices, including tablets and other wireless devices. Business customers, meanwhile, will have the option of connecting up to 10, 15, 20 or 25 devices, depending on the plan they choose.
Consumers will pay a set fee per device, while data is shared among all the devices on the plan. Costs for data range from US$20 for 300MB of data per month to $375 for 50GB of data. All the plans include unlimited talk and text.
A Competitive Maneuver
Both Sprint and T-Mobile have also launched no-contract plans.
"The new AT&T plan is both a response to T-Mobile and an attack on Verizon by lowering prices for people who do not have a subsidy," asserted Roger Entner, principal analyst at Recon Analytics. "It also counters the criticism of some consumer groups that AT&T makes people pay twice for their device."
A lower price "certainly makes AT&T more attractive in the eyes of the consumer, and will probably stem the subscriber losses to T-Mobile," Entner told the E-Commerce Times. "We'll see if the price reduction in conjunction with AT&T's claim of having the better network is enough to get people from Verizon to switch to AT&T."
Of course, "I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone at AT&T who would suggest that the company is following T-Mobile's lead," Chris Silva, research direct for mobile and client computing at Gartner, told the E-Commerce Times.
Hedging Against BYOD
This move by AT&T, which is now the nation's second-largest mobile carrier after rival Verizon, also comes amidst increasing demand by consumers for the latest devices.
"More than anything, this move is hedging against BYOD," Silva suggested. "More and more, consumers are bringing their device to a new carrier — AT&T is positioning itself to be ready for the changing market demographic."
The key factor driving that trend "is the 12- to 15-month cycle of new devices," he added. "This is creating a pent-up demand to move to the next device sooner. This provides a way to be outside the subsidy group."
Some consumers may face some sticker shock, however, as "here in the United States consumers are often looking at the subsidized price for the device, and not the actual $600 to $700 price," Silva concluded. Then again, "many consumers are already paying that $15 surcharge, which adds up to $360 in two years anyway."

The last thing middleweight Josh Samman remembers before going to sleep is a doctor telling him he could lose his leg.
This is not the way most auditions end at "The Ultimate Fighter." It had started smashingly for the then-21-year-old, who walked into tryouts for the 10th installment of the reality show with a 4-1 professional record and a heap of confidence.
Samman (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) isn't quite sure when it happened. He remembers rolling with Zak Cummings, who would later join him on "The Ultimate Fighter 17," and claims to have tapped out the veteran on several occasions. (Cummings denies this recollection.) He remembers injuring his leg at some point during the grappling portion of the audition.
It felt like a bad muscle pull, but he wasn't about to go home. He finished rolling and then hit pads for the striking portion of the tryouts. Then he made it through the interview portion of the audition. He was on his way to the show – nevermind that his leg was swelling and hardening and hurting.
"(UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva was like, 'You need to go to the hospital; you might have a blood clot,'" Samman told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I had just turned 21. I was like, 'F— that.' I had an 8 o'clock flight back to Florida from Seattle."
The next morning, Samman boarded the plane and took off for home. It was a two-layover trip between the coasts. At some point, he had that moment of realization where he might have seriously messed up by trying to tough out his injury. He went to the emergency room shortly after touching down in Florida.
It didn't take very long for doctors to spring into action when they took a look at Samman's leg. Suddenly, he was in a patient gown and being wheeled to the operating room. Nobody let on just what was happening, but he could tell it was something very serious.
Then, just before the doctor slipped on the mask that would knock him out, he learned the truth.
"This is the last thing this a—— tells me before I'm going to sleep," Samman said. "Now count back from 100."
When Samman woke up, he was in a hospital bed. He looked at his leg. The flesh around his thigh was split and clamped open. A tube coming out of his leg was sucking out dried blood. Just a day before, he was on the verge of breaking into the big-time. It had been five years since he had dropped out of high school to pursue MMA.
Now, he was bedridden.
A week passed. It took 200 stitches and 40 staples to close the wound. They reattached his quad muscle and pulled out a grapefruit-sized blood clot in his leg.
The official diagnosis was a torn quad, which caused the internal bleeding that caused Samman's leg to swell and later harden into a life-threatening clot when he flew. It was the very type of situation that grounded UFC heavyweight Shane Carwin when he sustained a knee injury in training for The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale, and Josh Koscheck when Georges St-Pierre broke his orbital at UFC 124.
Blood clots can be lethal. Samman was a lucky man.
Sitting in his hospital bed, he got a call from one of the show's producers. He'd been well-received, as he expected, and she wanted to fly him back to Las Vegas. He told her as soon as he got out of the hospital, he was there.
"She was like, 'Hospital?'" Samman said.
"The Ultimate Fighter 10" featured heavyweights. But even after his brush with mortality, Samman wasn't deterred from his goal and auditioned for the next season. He figured his performance at the previous audition made him a shoo-in for the show. He wasn't.
"I went up to Dana (White), and I said, 'Hey, you forgot my name,'" he said after the UFC president announced the competitors that had passed. "He was like, 'Well, you're not on the list.'"
Samman thought about telling him what he had been through to get to that moment. He thought about describing the pain and the fear of losing his leg. He thought about showing off his scar. But he didn't.
"I was just flabbergasted," he said. "I tried to say something about it, but I didn't do enough to make a point about what I'd been through."
Another season passed before Samman again tried his hand. Again, he did well at the tryouts for "The Ultimate Fighter 13" and wowed producers by bringing a highlight reel that showed off his experience, which by then had netted an 8-1 pro record.
Again, he got a phone call. The producers really liked him and wanted him on the show. There was just one thing: Could he make welterweight?
In no uncertain terms, Samman explained that he sometimes walked around at 230 pounds. There was no way he could make 170. Another opportunity dashed.
By this time, he had pretty much given up on the idea of being on "The Ultimate Fighter." He resolved to get into the UFC the hard way: by winning fights. Soon after, he got a call from Bellator, who wanted him for a middleweight tournament. But first, he needed to fight a qualifying match against "TUF 7" veteran Dan Cramer.
Samman felt supremely confident that he would cruise past Cramer and win the tournament. Instead, he lost a decision.
This past year, he signed a contract with burgeoning regional promotion XFC, and he returned to the win column with a first-round TKO. He was happy fighting for the promotion, which had a TV deal with HDNet. His next bout, a main event, was scheduled for December. Then the UFC announced tryouts for "TUF 17."
"Even then, I was like, 'Whatever,'" Samman said. "One or two more fights, and I'll be in the UFC anyway."
His family and friends didn't see it that way. In no uncertain terms, they told him he was missing a golden opportunity by not giving it another go. He relented, and soon, he was in Las Vegas once again.
Samman made it through auditions and defeated his elimination-round opponent in the first round.
He still has the scar to remind him what it took to get to that place.
"I'm happy that I had the conversation that I did with the people that had been with me from the beginning, and remembered how much it had meant to me, even though I had forgotten," Samman said.

Tuesdays with Dorie BCM: Brown-Butter-and-Vanilla-Bean Weekend CakeJanuary 27, 2015 at 12:01 am | Posted in BCM, cakes & tortes, groups, simple cakes, sweet things, tuesdays with dorie | 37 Comments
Tags: baking, cake
A weekend cake- I love it! A good cake does make the weekend even better, if you ask me. (Hopefully it will make the nor'easter we're about to get socked with better, too!) This one's a simple loaf cake, but it's flavored with brown butter, vanilla bean and rum. Simple but special.
I have a French blue steel loaf pan, and I thought it naturally appropriate to use for a French cake. I like that the pan has perfectly straight, not flared, sides. It's longer and slimmer than the standard 9×5, so I was sure to check it in the oven plenty early.
The ingredients are lovely and fragrant, and the cake smells so good out of the oven, that it's hard to wrap it up and let it sit overnight like Dorie suggests. It's less buttery and heavy than a pound cake but has a similar delicious crust. This cake is good on it's own or with a sauce. (I'm going to try it in early summer as a strawberry shortcake base.) If you can't eat it all up over the weekend, don't worry because it freezes nicely. Dorie also says stale slices are good toasted, although I don't plan on testing that out this time.
For the recipe, see Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan. Don't forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

Comment by Julie Berg— January 27, 2015 #
That cake is adorable. Of course you need a French pan for a French cake =)
Comment by Karen @ Karen's Kitchen Stories— January 29, 2015 #
That is the cutest loaf pan. You are right that the kitchen did smell good while this cake was baking.
Comment by Diane Zwang— January 29, 2015 #
Love the idea of using this as base to strawberry shortcake! I am looking forward to the recipe!

Minnie Moss probably never envisioned she would be a pioneer woman in Saskatchewan when she was growing up in Nebraska and Michigan.
And she probably never envisioned having to build and live in a log cabin with a sod roof and mud chinks between the logs.
She arrived in North Battleford, Saskatchewan in January of 1917 with her daughter Verna, grand-daughter Gretchen and Verna's spouse John Aumack.
Minnie Moss and John Aumack both applied for homestead land and were granted adjoining parcels along the curving shoreline of Meeting Lake.
The purpose of the landgrants (as noted by the Saskatchewan Homestead Index) was:
To encourage settlement in the west the Dominion Government offered a free homestead of 160 acres for a $10 registration fee. In order to receive the patent for the land the settler had to be a male 21 years of age or a woman who was the sole support of her family. Before being granted a patent the applicant had to reside on the homestead for a period of time, usually six months of the year for three years, make improvements to the land by cultivating at least 30 acres of land, and erect a house worth at least $300.
John, Verna and Minnie went on to build a thriving summer resort on their homestead parcels at Meeting Lake.
My mother in law Yvonne Aumack Miller and I tell the story in the Women Pioneers of Saskatchewan Book 2, soon to be published by the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society.
P.S. For the cousins reading this – The oldest girl in the picture is Gretchen and the girl clutching the doll is Minnie (jr.) who was born to John and Verna soon after they arrived in Sask.

I'm not a fan of loopholes in the tax code.
I've complained about the number of pages in the tax code, the number of provisions in the tax code, and I've even groused about the rising number of pages in the instruction manual for the 1040 tax form.
And I've specifically come out against tax preferences for ethanol, housing, municipal bonds, charity, and state and local taxes.
But just as you don't necessarily know whether someone is tall or short without knowing the average height of a population, you can't automatically identify loopholes without first defining an ideal tax system. In other words, you need a benchmark (referred to as "the tax base" or "taxable income") in order to measure what's a loophole.
Unfortunately, that's not an easy task because there are two competing visions of the ideal benchmark. I've addressed this issue previously, in this post on the "tax expenditure con job," but let's dig into the weeds a bit.
- Those on the left, including the Joint Committee on Taxation, use what is sometimes called the "Haig-Simons" definition of a tax base. Also known as the "comprehensive income tax base," this system assumes that there should be double taxation of income that is saved and invested (as shown by this startling chart). Another way of saying this is that the Haig-Simons approach assumes the government should tax income plus changes in the value of assets. Moreover, the Haig-Simons system assumes "worldwide taxation" and that businesses can't deduct investment costs as they occur.
- Those on the right, by contrast, support what is generally called "consumption-based" taxation. This doesn't mean a tax collected at the cash register (though a national sales tax is an example of a tax with a "consumption base"). Instead, it simply refers to a system where income is taxed only one time. So, for example, a flat tax is a consumption-base tax since income is taxed only one time as it is earned, just as a national sales tax is a consumption-base tax since income is taxed only one time as it is spent. Moreover, a consumption-base system assumes "territorial taxation" and that business expenses should be deductible in the year the money changes hands.
While some features of the tax code – such as the healthcare exclusion – are loopholes according to both the Haig-Simons system and the consumption-base system, you get a divergence of opinion in key areas.
a) In a consumption-base world, there's no double taxation and the capital gains tax therefore doesn't exist. But from the perspective of the Haig-Simons tax base, the fact that capital gains are taxed at 23.8 percent instead of 39.6 percent is characterized as a loophole.
b) In a consumption-base world, there's no double taxation and all savings gets the equivalent of IRA or 401(k) treatment. But from the perspective of Haig-Simons tax base, IRAs and 401(k)s are loopholes.
c) In a consumption-base world, there's territorial taxation and no attempt to impose tax on income earned (and subject to tax) in other countries. But the Haig-Simons tax base assumes "worldwide taxation," which means that "deferral" is a loophole rather than a way of mitigating a discriminatory penalty.
So why am I getting into boring details on this wonky issue? In part, because it helps people understand that tax reform is not just a matter of having a low tax rate. It's also very important to define income correctly.
But I also think some background knowledge is necessary to explain why the White House is blowing smoke when they relentlessly demagogue against "corporate jets" as part of their never-ending campaign for class-warfare tax policy.
Let's examine some excerpts from an ABC News report.
Listening to the White House, you'd think the key to averting the across-the-board spending cuts (the dreaded "sequester") set to in place on March 1 is closing the tax break for owners of private jets. …Carney has brought up the corporate jet tax break at every single briefing this week. Listening to the White House, you might think that the "balanced" Democratic plan to avert the spending cuts would close that loophole for private jets. But you would be wrong. The Senate Democratic plan – which has been endorsed by the White House and is, in fact, the only Democratic plan actively under consideration right now – doesn't touch corporate jets. …The tax break…allows the owners of private jets to depreciate their airplanes over five years instead of the standard seven years for commercial airplanes.
I don't want you to focus on the demagoguery or the potential hypocrisy. Instead, consider the final sentence of the excerpt.
It turns out that the supposed "loophole" is really a penalty from a consumption-base perspective. If a company purchases a jet for $20 million, they should be able to deduct – or expense – that $20 million when calculating that year's taxable income (after all, what is profit other than total revenue minus total costs?).
But today's screwy tax code forces them to wait five years before fully deducting the cost of the jet (a process known as depreciation). Given that money today has more value than money in the future, this is a penalty that creates a tax bias against investment (the tax code also requires depreciation for purchases of machines, structures, and other forms of investment).
Anyhow, because the tax bias imposes a five-year wait rather than a seven-year wait, the Obama White House would like us to believe that companies are getting some sort of egregious loophole.
Nonsense. In a good tax regime, companies should be able to deduct expenses in the year they are incurred. The fact that they have to wait five years is a penalty. But the White House wants us to perceive this penalty as a loophole or subsidy because it could be even more onerous.
By the way, if we're worried about actual subsidies that benefit corporate jets, Tim Carney's already explained that we should focus on the cronyists at the Export-Import Bank. And I heartily agree.
P.S. Defining the right "tax base" doesn't imply anything about tax rates. You can have a so-called progressive rate structure or a single rate with either the Haig-Simons system or a consumption-base system.

Over the past few years, phones powered by Google's Android operating system have overtaken Apple's dominant iPhone as the market share leader. This has been welcome news for Google and its affiliates, but challenges remain, namely in the tablet space.
Apple's iPad remains largely untouched as the king of tablets, and minor skirmishes with Android upstarts have resulted in sluggish sales for Android tablets while the iPad continues selling at an impressive pace. However, all is not well in Cupertino, as Apple's recent Q3 earnings report showed a slide in iPad sales, and the recently-announced fourth generation iPad and iPad mini have been met with mixed reviews.
Enter Google, which, while having fought a proxy war with Apple for a number of years, is finally stepping forward with its own 10-inch tablet, dubbed the Nexus 10. "Nexus" in Google speak means a special line of devices unencumbered by manufacturer ad-ons, or "vanilla Android," as enthusiasts call it — which, on paper, boasts hardware specifications better than the refreshed iPad, and at a cheaper price. Hardware, however, is not the only story, and only time will tell how the Nexus 10 rates in terms of real-world use.
The main feature of the Nexus 10 that has people taking notice is its screen. Screen resolution has long been a selling point for Apple, with its line of "Retina display" devices that offer clearer picture in a smaller space, with pixels barely visible to the naked eye. The current iPad has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels on a 9.7-inch screen, which gives it a pixels-per-inch (or ppi) density rating of 264. It is a gorgeous screen; there are no two ways about it.
The Nexus 10 has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 on a 10.1-inch screen, giving it a ppi of 300, which seems to handily put the iPad in a corner.
There are two measurements to consider when making sense of all of this: resolution and ppi, which, while linked, are dependent on other factors, particularly screen size.
For example, your big, 55-inch LCD or plasma TV at home maxes out at resolution of 1920 x 1080. It looks great with that 1080p picture, but if ppi were a selling point for TVs, that TV would have a ppi of 40. Yep, 40. Yes, your tablet has a better screen than your TV. Life is hard.
So why do TV manufacturers get away with this? Because we sit far enough away from the screen that we don't perceive the pixel density. Mobile device makers do not have that luxury, since the devices are usually no more than 12 to 18 inches from our face.
The Nexus 10, therefore, is not the first Android device to beat an Apple product in terms of screen resolution alone, but it is the first mobile hardware to offer a better ppi than an Apple product. Only through actual tests will we see how well the screen truly performs, as issues like viewing angles, black levels and other metrics will also factor in to the overall usefulness of it.
As for other specifications, the Nexus 10 comes shipped with Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), a dual-core processor, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera (5 mp rear with LED flash) and stereo speakers, and weighs 603 grams on a device .02 inches thinner than the iPad. The 32GB Nexus 10 costs $499 (16GB for $399). By comparison, Apple's 32GB Wi-Fi iPad is $599.
Battery life, however, is rated at nine hours compared to the iPad's 10, and the Nexus 10 is also WiFi-only, which means no mobile data unless you tether it to your phone.
Also, the Nexus 10 is just not as svelte as the iPad. Apple knows how to make sexy devices. If Apple is the siren turning heads at prom, Android devices are the nerdy kids with a lot to offer, but have difficulty showing it on the outside.
Does Google finally have a tablet worth sending into battle against the iPad? After allowing its hardware manufacturers to spend a few years lobbing small rocks at the iPad, Google seems to have finally arrived with a trebuchet and a big, high-resolution boulder.
Plus, "Retina display" is trademarked. What concise brand name can Google use to give the Nexus 10 the panache of its Cupertino rival — "Mountain View Magic"?

ĀB-ANBĀR i. History
R. Holod
The āb-anbār was one of the constructions developed in Iran as part of a water management system in areas reliant on permanent (springs, qanāts) or on seasonal (rain) water. A settlement's capacity for storing water ensured its survival over the hot, dry season when even the permanent water supply would diminish.This Article Has Images/Tables.
AB-ANBĀR ii. Construction
M. Sotūda
Cisterns are built in towns and villages throughout Iran, as well as at crossroads, caravanseries, and hospices (rebāṭ). While town cisterns may be filled with rain water or from qanāts, most āb-anbārs along caravan routes are filled from the spring torrents of nearby streams.

The low initial numbers of PS3s shipped around the world may hurt the system more than Sony is letting on—two PS3 exclusives have since moved to the 360. Fatal Inertia and Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War will also be released on Microsoft's console. If you look at the release list for the PS3 you'll also notice a long, dry patch of games from now until a few months into 2007. If you've already bought a PS3, there isn't that much to look forward to outside of ports.
From a developer and publisher's point of view this makes perfect sense; there may be as few as 200,000 PS3 systems in the US. The situation in Japan is even worse, with no more than 80,000 units installed there. There is no firm news saying how many more systems Sony plans to release in the near future, which means there simply isn't a lot of money to be made by releasing your games on Sony's hardware.
The good news is that when supply loosens up and customers will be able to walk into stores and buy a unit, they should have some great games to pick up with it. The bad news is existing customers aren't going to be enjoying anything new that takes advantage of the hardware for quite a while. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be an early adopter.
It looks like March is when some more big games will be hitting the PS3. At least that will give me enough time to beat Twilight Princess.

Koch, Robert
Koch, Robert rō´bĕrt kôkh [key], 1843–1910, German bacteriologist. He studied at Göttingen under Jacob Henle. As a country practitioner in Wollstein, Posen (now Wolsztyn, Poland), he devoted much time to microscopic studies of bacteria, for which he devised not only a method of staining with aniline dyes but also techniques of bacteriological culture still in general use. He established the bacterial cause of many infectious diseases and discovered the microorganisms causing anthrax (1876), wound infections (1878), tuberculosis (1882), conjunctivitis (1883), cholera (1884), and other diseases. He was professor at the Univ. of Berlin from 1885 to 1891 and head of the Institute for Infectious Diseases (founded for him) from 1891 to 1904. In the course of his bacteriological investigations for the British and German governments he traveled to South Africa, India, Egypt, and other countries and made valuable studies of sleeping sickness, malaria, bubonic plague, rinderpest, and other diseases. For his work in developing tuberculin as a test for tuberculosis he received the 1905 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Potential data breach revealed by Supervalu
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The grocery chain Supervalu said Friday that it may have suffered a data breach at stores in as many as five states.
Hackers accessed a network that processes store transactions. Account numbers, expiration dates, cardholders' names and other information may have been stolen, the company said.
Grocery stores — as well as some stand-alone liquor shops — in Minnesota, Virginia, Illinois, Maryland and Missouri may have been affected between June 22 and July 17.
The cards from which data may have been stolen were used at 180 Supervalu stores and liquor stores run under the Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher's, Shop 'n Save and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy names. Data may also have been stolen from 29 franchised Cub Foods stores and liquor stores.
There was also a related criminal intrusion at some stores owned and run by Albertson's LLC and New Albertson's Inc., the company said. Supervalu provides information technology services to the Albertson's and New Albertson's stores.
Supervalu said that it currently believes the data breach did not impact its owned or licensed Save-A-Lot stores or any of the independent grocery stores supplied by the company through its independent business network other than the franchised Cub Foods stores previously mentioned.
Once it learned of the breach, the company said that it took immediate steps to secure that portion of its network.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
The company hasn't determined if any cardholder data was actually stolen and said Friday that there's no evidence of the data being misused. The release of information about the breach was released out of "an abundance of caution," the company said. It is believed that the intrusion has been contained, the company said, and it remains confident shoppers can safely use their credit and debit cards at its stores.
The intrusion at Supervalu is just the latest in a string of data breaches at major retailers.
Earlier this month, Target said that expenses tied to a breach leading up to last year's holiday shopping season could reach as high as $148 million. The incident led to a major shakeup and CEO Gregg Steinhafel resigned.
Restaurant operator P.F. Chang's confirmed in June that data from credit and debit cards used at its restaurants was stolen.
There have been smaller breaches at Neiman Marcus and Michaels Stores Inc., and even at Goodwill.
There are currently efforts underway to change the technology used in credit and debit cards to make consumer information more secure.
Supervalu Inc., based in Eden Prairie, is offering customers whose cards may have been affected a year of complimentary consumer identity protection services via AllClear ID. The company has created a call center to help answer customer questions about the data breach and the identity protection services being offered. The call center can be reached at (855) 731-6018. Customers may also visit Supervalu's website under the Consumer Security Advisory section to get more information about the data breach and the identity protection services.

PETALUMA — Passenger seats for Sonoma and Marin counties' commuter rail line failed a crash-worthiness test last week, but officials said Wednesday it was in no way a setback for the system.
The manufacturer and Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District said the seats will be redesigned in a month and that it will not delay delivery of the first two-car set by the end of this year.
"Whatever needs to be done will be corrected," said Gene Germaine, director of business development for Kustom Seating Unlimited of Bellwood, Ill. "As it stands, there is no delay in the normal process in developing the product and testing it and having it signed off and meeting the requirements."
Lisa Cobb, SMART's vehicle and systems manager, said at a SMART meeting Wednesday in Petaluma that such failures are common because the car design is new and has new components.
"This is not unusual because it is hard test," she said.
During testing the seat frames failed under the G-forces equivalent to a 25 mph crash, Cobb said. In one case, the structure of a seat bent back. In another, a seat cushion did not remain in place.
"We will continue to work with the car builder as they go through the safety qualification testing before the cars get here, and after the cars arrive in order to ensure safe service for our riders," Cobb said.
The $360 million first phase of the project — with service beginning in 2015 or 2016 — will connect San Rafael and Santa Rosa.
In Marin, the line will offer stops at Atherton Avenue, Hamilton Field, the Marin Civic Center and downtown San Rafael. An adjacent pedestrian and bicycle path will be part of the project. The second phase would extend service through the Cal Park Hill Tunnel to a station near the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, although funding has not been identified for that work.

Mayno, Juan Bautista

Whale of a Show
August 24, 2009
Newburyport News
The Newburyport Whale Watch has sighted an average of four or five whales per boating trip in years past.
This summer, people on local whale watches out of the Merrimack River are getting a show far above average.
On average, 10 to 15 whales are being spotted on each excursion, with a trip last week spotting 18, along with a pod of dolphins.
More whales mean more business, and the Newburyport Whale Watch had the most boat sellouts ever this year, despite the sluggish economy, with many repeat customers. Just this past week, whale enthusiasts arrived from Hawaii, Mexico, England, Ireland and South America to get a glimpse of a humpback breaching or a finback feeding.
There is no conclusive answer to explain the whale phenomena, but Dianna Schulte of the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation saw an immediate population jump after herring fisherman were restricted from Jeffreys Bank, fishing grounds of the Gulf of Maine.

For They Loved the Praise of Men More Than the Praise of GodBy President N. Eldon Tanner First Counselor in the First Presidency General Conference – October, 1975
As I sat here looking over this great body of priesthood holders in this historic Tabernacle, I tried to visualize the thousands of men and boys in the Assembly Hall, the Salt Palace, the Marriott Center in Provo, and other buildings throughout Canada and the United States and elsewhere in the world. I was greatly impressed, and almost overwhelmed, with the realization of the great power and authority assembled to listen to the prophet's voice and to hear the word of the Lord, to be built up and motivated to even better works and living.
This is the greatest body of men ever assembled. It is a tremendous privilege and heavy responsibility to stand before you. I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will continue with us as I speak to you this evening.
First, I wish to express my appreciation for the very fine crop of young men who are in the Church and who have been chosen to hold the priesthood of God and to be leaders among all nations and for how they are preparing themselves for this very purpose—young men who realize who they are and what their responsibilities are and who are living worthy to go on missions, to be leaders in the Church and in their communities. I realize how difficult it is in this day for young men and young women to overcome the evils of the world, to honor the priesthood, and appreciate their membership in the church of Jesus Christ.
There are some who are having problems, and to them I appeal in the name of the Lord to repent and walk uprightly, to keep themselves free from sin, and prepare themselves to enjoy the blessings of the faithful. You have been chosen and permitted to come forth in this day. Our priesthood is very important, and our task is enormous. Nothing will bring greater joy and success than to live according to the teachings of the gospel. Be an example; be an influence for good; be prepared and worthy to accept any call that comes from the Lord.
Every one of us has been foreordained for some work as His chosen servant on whom he has seen fit to confer the priesthood and power to act in his name. Always remember that people are looking to you for leadership and you are influencing the lives of individuals either for good or for bad, which influence will be felt for generations to come.
Our great responsibility might be more emphatically stated or clearly understood if we realize that there is only one member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for approximately every 999 people in the world and only one member of this church per every 333 Christians, approximately.
There are more priesthood holders in the world today than ever before in the history of mankind, with greater power and influence, and of equally great importance, and with greater challenges and problems to meet. The world needs that power and strength and influence to give leadership in helping to meet, solve and overcome the problems caused by the wickedness so rampant in the world.
The Lord has set up his church in these the latter days to do just that. The future progress of the Church, and, in fact, the future of the world, depends on how we magnify the office which we hold in the priesthood. Every deacon, every teacher, every priest, every holder of the Melchizedek Priesthood has an individual responsibility and privilege to combine forces with the Savior in being tools in his hands and helping him to accomplish his work and his glory, which is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. No other people have this same authority or special call.
It is hard to imagine and impossible to calculate the tremendous influence we would have if every one of us would honor his priesthood, and magnify his calling, and really try every day and in every way to use his influence to meet the onslaught of Satan. Too many of us seem to take the priesthood which we hold for granted; we fail to realize what the Lord expects of us, or we don't have the conviction, courage, and fortitude to stand up for the right and be counted, to be different when necessary.
One young boy on the school ground can wield a mighty influence for good. One young man on the football team, or the campus, or among his fellow workers can, by living the gospel, honoring his priesthood, and taking a stand for the right, do untold good. Often you will experience much criticism and ridicule even by those who believe as you do, even though they may respect you for doing right. But remember that the Savior himself was tormented, ridiculed, spat upon, and finally crucified because he would not waver in his conviction. Have you ever stopped to think what would have happened had he weakened and said, "Oh, what's the use?" and abandoned his mission? Do we want to be quitters, or do we want to be valiant servants in spite of all the opposition and evil in the world? Let us have the courage to stand up and be counted as true, devoted followers of Christ.
Someone said to me the other day, "Why is it that people who know what they should do and seem to have a testimony of the gospel are not prepared to live it and haven't the courage and strength to stand up against opposition?" My reply was, "There are many reasons, it seems to me, that cause people to favor and to do things which are contrary to their teachings and contrary to their beliefs." Then I referred him to two or three scriptures.
"Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
"Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—
"That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven." (D&C 121:34–36.)
The next: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
"Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
"Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." (2 Tim. 3:1–5.)
And finally:
"Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
"For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God." (John 12:42–43.)
It is this last passage with which I should like to deal this evening.
I wonder how many of us are guilty of this or any of these, and if so, are we ready tonight to change our ways, and repent, and try to be worthy of the praise of God and his blessings rather than forget who we are and try to be popular? How important it is that we remember who we are, servants of the Lord, and then act accordingly.
As I said before, we just cannot imagine or calculate in any way what a great influence for good we would have in the world if every holder of the priesthood would magnify his calling, and how much happier and more successful each individual would be if he would always choose the right. How sad it is to see one who would rather be popular than do what he knows is right. I have in mind and remember so well a good member of the Church who was elected to the legislature but who wanted to be a good fellow, popular with everyone. He, wanting to be popular, let down his standards and took one drink at a social and then another. It happened again and again. He began drinking with the fellows at lunch and at dinner. And then, unintentionally I am sure, and contrary to his greatest desire, he became an alcoholic and lost the support of his constituency and the respect of his friends and family who loved him and sorrowed for him. He died an early death as an alcoholic. What a sad situation—all because he sought the praise of men more than the praise of God.
This is not a single case. We have examples of congressmen and senators who have lost their positions and self-respect and the respect of others because they wanted to be popular or didn't have the strength to resist the temptations. We have the promise of the Lord that if we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all these things will be added unto us, meaning, of course, the things that are for our good.
Let us always remember that people expect us to live up to our standards and respect us much more when we do, even though they may entice us to do otherwise.
I want to bear my testimony that I was never embarrassed in any way, when in the government, or industry, or in my private life, by trying to live up to the teachings of the gospel. Nor was I impeded in any way in my progress. On the contrary, I feel that I was respected and I was blessed by the Lord, and always felt free to call upon him for strength and guidance, which I often received.
My observation is that the Lord keeps his promise to all those who seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
It is most important that we be on guard all the time and never abandon our standards in order to be popular or to enjoy the praise of men. One of the General Authorities, whom I will call George, was telling an experience he had when a priest. A friend of his was taking his girl home from a party, and her younger sister was going with them. He asked George to accompany them. George accepted. He said that shortly after they arrived home and were sitting in the living room together, the girl whom he took home went over, turned off the lights, came back and sat on his lap, and started to make advances. He said that though he knew he would be unpopular and even offensive, he excused himself, got up, and went home. As he was telling the story, he said that he knew that many young men today would consider him a sissy, but he remembered so well the story of Joseph who was sold into Egypt.
"And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
"And she [Potiphar's wife] caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out." (Gen. 39:11–12.)
We remember how he was made to suffer for this but how the Lord blessed him.
Then George said: "I shudder to think what might have happened if I had stayed with her and have concluded many times that I might never have been here as a servant of the Lord."
As I told this story to a young man one day, his response was, "That action surely took guts, didn't it!" I have thought since how true it is that to do right under similar circumstances does take guts or backbone or willpower, while to succumb shows weakness. Even the strongest must always be on guard.
It is at times like this that our decisions and actions often determine the course of our lives. Young men and some adults have trials or tests of this nature. There are different kinds of temptations where their loyalty and strength of character are really tested. If we will always remember who we are and that God is watching over us, we will be able to shun, or avoid and withstand such temptations. Always remember that you cannot play with fire without danger of being burned.
Though it is important that we make a living for our families, and as good citizens participate in community affairs, we must not become so involved in the things of the world that we forget or neglect our duty and responsibility as called and chosen children of God and holders of his priesthood. Unless we are continually on guard we will find ourselves gradually off the straight and narrow path until we have completely gone astray, becoming a great disappointment to ourselves, our families, and the Lord, and certainly not what we had anticipated or intended or wanted to be.
We find examples of this so often where a person, forgetting who he is, wants to be popular with his peers and wants their praise. So often athletes get so carried away with their success and desire for praise that they forget their duty to God and the importance of his approval and as a result lose their way. This applies equally to politicians, members of fraternal organizations, professions, and business. This craving for praise and popularity too often controls actions, and as they succumb they find themselves bending their character when they think they are only taking a bow.
Someone said to me the other day when we were talking about this that those who constantly love the praise of men more than the praise of God are faint reflections of another—meaning Satan, of course—who in the preexistence wanted to save all mankind, but with one condition attached—that the honor and glory go to him, not to God. He was more concerned with credit than with results; glory and praise were the end in themselves. My friend went on to say that on the crucial issues, if individuals are more concerned with pleasing men than pleasing God, then they suffer from the same virus Satan had, for there are many situations where seeking the praise of men will clearly result in their hurting, not helping, mankind for they will do expedient and temporary things instead of those which are lasting and beneficial.
How much more satisfying it is when we receive the praise of God, knowing that it is fully justified and that his love and respect for us will persist, when usually the praise of men is fleeting and most disappointing.
It is shocking and appalling indeed to those who believe in the teachings of Christ to see how people in high places, in order to enjoy the praise of those who are so vocal in encouraging and promoting immorality, do not take a stand against these evils and promote the teachings of Christ which are so clearly stated in these words in the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not commit adultery." (Ex. 20:14.)
And then in 1 Corinthians we read:
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind." (1 Cor. 6:9.)
We also find legislation having been passed and being passed legalizing these very things contrary to the will of the Lord. It is permissive legislation of the worst kind. Brethren, the Lord expects us as his priesthood holders to take a stand for right and do all in our power to oppose and discourage such action and to encourage our people to live according to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I quote from Elder Neal Maxwell:
"The leader who is willing to say things that are hard to bear, but which are true and which need to be said, is the leader who truly loves his people and who is kind to them. Nothing is more cruel than that leader who, in order to have the praise and plaudits of his followers, entices them from safety into the swamp out of which some may never return. The straight and narrow way is just that—straight and narrow. It is an arduous up-hill journey. The way to hell is broad and wide and slopes ever so gently, and those who walk that path scarcely notice the descent; sometimes they don't notice the descent because praise of men distracts them and they do not see the warning signs! The choice is still between the golden calf and the Ten Commandments." (Unpublished letter dated Aug. 12, 1975, "Some Thoughts," from Neal A. Maxwell to President Tanner.)
It seems so true that the charge given by Paul to Timothy applies to us equally today:
"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
"And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." (2 Tim. 4:1–4.)
How fortunate we are to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where we have the gospel in its fulness as recorded in the four standard works of the Church—the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price—and to have a prophet of God through whom the Lord speaks to guide and direct us in these latter days.
As we read in Acts, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12.)
May we have the courage, strength, understanding, desire, and determination to do as Joshua said: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve; … but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Josh. 24:15.)
This I humbly pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

James H. Kindelberger
North American Aviation, 1934-1962 President, General Manager, CEO, Chairmain of the Board
James Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, on May 8, 1895, the son of steelworker Charles Frederick Kindelberger. Kindelberger started working in the steel industry with his father but, in 1916, when he was 21, went to study at the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
The United States entered World War I in 1917, and Dutch Kindelberger joined the Army to serve in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. He was a pilot instructor based at Park Field in Memphis, Tennessee.
After the war, Kindelberger looked for work in aviation. In 1919, he married Thelma Knarr and, in 1920, became chief draftsman and assistant chief engineer with the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Co. in Cleveland. Five years later, he joined Douglas Aircraft in California as chief engineer. Kindelberger remained with Douglas for nine years, leading development of the DC-1 and the DC-2.
In 1934, Kindelberger became president and general manager of General Aviation, later renamed North American Aviation Inc., and served as general manager until 1948, when he became chairman and CEO. Under his guidance, North American Aviation broke technological barriers; produced propeller- and jet-powered fighters and bombers, military trainers, rocket engines and rocket-powered aircraft; and began its role as the prime contractor for the country's space program.
Kindelberger retired in 1960 as CEO at the age of 65 and was succeeded by Lee Atwood. Kindelberger remained chairman of the board until his death two years later.

Syracuse sent home early by feisty Marquette
Oh, is there ever a Buzz in the NCAA tournament.
Brent Williams is better known as Buzz — Coach Buzz if you play for Marquette — and his postgame celebrations have become the stuff of legend. On Sunday, he might have had his wildest yet.
His bald head glistening with sweat, he leaped in the air, pounded his fists on tables, shared tears and hugs with his family. He saluted the fans, slapped hands with band members and anyone he could touch wearing the Golden Eagles' gold and blue.
Williams is off to the round of 16 — and he wanted to bring the party with him.
Darius Johnson-Odom sparked the celebration by hitting a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 27 seconds left that sent Marquette to a 66-62 win over Big East rival Syracuse, putting the Golden Eagles in the NCAA tournament's round of 16 for the first time in eight years.
"Luckily, I knocked the shot down," Johnson-Odom said.
Luck didn't set up the winner as much as the last sloppy pass in a turnover-marred game by Syracuse.
With 51 seconds left, Dion Waiters threw his sideline inbounds pass too high and close to the midcourt line. Scoop Jardine tiptoed over the line on his jump to snag the ball for a backcourt violation.
"I thought I had him and I was just trying to throw the pass where I thought he could catch it," Waiters said. "I don't know what happened."
Johnson-Odom delivered the shot of his career for a 62-59 lead and 11th-seeded Marquette is moving on to the round of 16 for the first time since Dwyane Wade led them to the Final Four in 2003.
The Golden Eagles will play No. 2 seed North Carolina (28-7) in the East regional semifinals Friday in Newark, N.J.
Marquette, known then as the Warriors, beat North Carolina to win the national championship in 1977.
At Marquette, there's always a link to the '77 team and its treasured coach, Al McGuire. Where most teams have a logo or a letter on the jersey, Marquette has "AL" at the neck.
Williams, Marquette's emotional coach, broke into a delirious celebration. He hugged his players, ran to press row and pounded the table. He pumped his fists toward the fans, then brushed past media to get to the seats and gave his wife and family kisses and a long, heartfelt embrace.
His beet-red face couldn't stop smiling as fans chanted his name and broke into the traditional "We are (clap-clap) Marquette!" cheer.
At the postgame news conference, his voice cracked and he paused to collect his thoughts when he described his relationship with his wife.
"All the people that were here, they care just as much as I do," he said. "It just so happens that I get to speak on their behalf. It's not about me. It's about all those people, just as much as it is our players."
This was the second straight early exit for third-seeded Syracuse (27-8). The Orange were a No. 1 seed last year and lost in the round of 16 to Butler.
"I thought it was just a great game," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said.
Williams had 40 minutes of emotion bottled up because neither team could ever shake the other. It was a typical bruising Big East battle that could have been played at the Carrier Dome, the Bradley Center or Madison Square Garden.
Cleveland, though, is the setting for Williams' greatest coaching triumph.
Johnson-Odom scored 17 points and Jae Crowder had 16 for the Golden Eagles. Marquette beat the Orange in nearly every important category, from free throw shooting (19 for 23 vs. 5 for 7) to rebounding (30-24) to steals, assists — on it went.
Syracuse was doomed by 18 turnovers — the last one the most costly.
Marquette was one of a record 11 Big East teams to make the field — and the most scrutinized. With 14 losses and a 9-9 record in conference play, the Golden Eagles were a shaky pick when the brackets were announced.
Who's counting them out now?
The Orange, who were swept 2-0 by Marquette this season, saw their season come to a stunning end yet again. Waiters scored 18 points and Kris Joseph had 12, but no one else had any kind of offensive impact.
Rick Jackson, the Big East defensive player of the year, struggled in his final game for the Orange. He had seven points and four rebounds, numbers way below the double-double he averaged during the regular season.
Syracuse players sat in front of their lockers in stunned disbelief. Many of them were still in uniform 20 minutes after the game, almost afraid to accept that their hopes of an NCAA title had been dashed for the second straight year short of the Final Four.
"We're still the better team," Jardine said. "We fought all season and we had a good season, and to go out like this is tough."
After leading 19-9, Syracuse went into halftime down three.
For the next 20 minutes, no team could force an inch of breathing room. Waiters scored two straight baskets for a 46-41 lead, but Marquette's speed and quickness never let the Golden Eagles fall too far behind.
Syracuse lost guard Brandon Triche for most of the second half with a bruised tailbone. And the Orange got hurt on turnovers.
Crowder's 3 with 2:26 left tied the game at 59.
That's how it stayed — until Johnson-Odom set off a party.

Generally, the government doesn't meddle too much in Amish affairs—it doesn't make them educate children after the eighth grade, for instance, 'cause of the First Amendment and all that. So it's kind of surprising to see many Amish threaten to quit farming in a battle with the government over lojacking their livestock with the Mark of the Beast. They've joined up with a lawsuit challenging the National Animal Identification system, which requires livestock to be tagged with an RFID chip. The government says the chips help them track livestock disease. The lawsuit says that the RFID chip is in fact a "Mark of the Beast," as foretold in the book of the Bible that set up one of Arnold's worst movies ever, End of Days:
"Use of a numbering system for their premises and/or electronic numbering system for their animals constitutes some form of a 'mark of the beast' and/or represents an infringement of their 'dominion over cattle and all living things' in violation of their fundamental religious beliefs."
It's a serious enough violation of their religious beliefs that, if enforced, many would not be able to farm, even though they maintain a bunch of heirloom crops and livestock—which they note could be genetically handy if disease or a terrorist attack seriously batters our food supply. Personally, I'm not quite ready for Armageddon, so maybe the government should back off, just in case. [Threat Level via Fark]
