​The expedition to the Island of St. Paul to observe the transit of Venus will bring back some interesting observations for the naturalists. At least there appear to have been some very interesting observations made on a tribe of great birds, — so far like ducks that they are much more agile in the water than on land, but without wings half as efficient as ducks, — called the Sphemiscus, whose wings are rather fins than wings, and which climbs very laboriously from the sea to the plateaus six hundred feet high, where villages of its nests are built, by the help of legs and beak and wings (or fins) all used in combination. The track up which the males return to the nests is, in fact, worn by constant use into a sort of road, and the birds always keep to it in their ascent. The fishermen on the spot call this bird — which shows no fear of man — "the magistrate," from its grave and weighty appearance. Clearly, this is another of the remarkable links between species of very different habits and instincts.Spectator.
The article in the new number of the Quarterly Review, on "Indian Missions" is by the Rev. Dr. Caldwell, the well-known Orientalist. It is likely that it will be republished as a pamphlet by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and be also disseminated by the Church Missionary Society, for all such bodies have greatly at heart the principal thesis which Dr. Caldwell supports, that Hindus who have turned Christians in India, have by no means morally deteriorated. Dr. Caldwell — an LL.D. for many years of Glasgow University — was made the other day a D.D. of Durham by diploma — a step considered somewhat rare, as honorary D.D.s are much more common than D.D.s by diploma. It is understood Dr. Caldwell will, if certain technical difficulties can be removed, be shortly appointed to be the first bishop of a new Indian see, where he will have control over many of the chief Hindu pastorates of Southern India.Athenæum.

​Temperature of the Sun's Surface. — M. Faye, in the Comptes Rendus, discusses Mr. Langley's observations on the relative temperature of different parts of the sun's surface, drawing special attention to the result arrived at by Mr. Langley that the equatorial regions of the sun are not sensibly hotter than the polar, and that therefore all analogies founded on terrestrial phenomena such as trade-winds are false, the currents in the sun being, not towards the equator, but parallel to it, as shown by the drift of sun-spots. M. Faye hence derives support for his theory of the sun in contradistinction to that of P. Secchi.

In accordance with the Administrative Review Board assessment dated 08/24/2005, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Counterterrorism Division, to the Department of Defense (DOD), Office for the Adminstrative Review of the Detention of Enemy Combatants, MURAT KARNAZ, Internment Serial Number (ISN) 061 , was assessed to pose a (ARB decision) threat to the national security of the United States and its allies.

KARNAZ was born in Turkey but was raised in Germany. KARNAZ was denied membership in the w:Jama'a al-Tabligh (JT) but admitted to attending a JT mosque in Germany, associating with JT members, and traveling to study at a JT controlled mosque.
KARNAZ was never in the military and never received military training. While in Pakistan, KARNAZ stayed in guest houses in Karachi and Islamabad. KARNAZ was detained by Pakistani authorities and turned over to U.S. forces.

# Memorandum of January 20, 2010

Issued on 22 January 2010.Federal Register page and date: 75 FR 3979, January 25, 2010
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Addressing Tax Delinquency by Government Contractors
The Federal Government pays more than half a trillion dollars a year to contractors and has an important obligation to protect American taxpayer money and the integrity of the Federal acquisition process. Yet reports by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) state that Federal contracts are awarded to tens of thousands of companies with serious tax delinquencies. The total amount in unpaid taxes owed by these contracting companies is estimated to be more than $5 billion.
Too often, Federal contracting officials do not have the most basic information they need to make informed judgments about whether a company trying to win a Federal contract is delinquent in paying its taxes. We need to give our contracting officials the tools they need to protect taxpayer dollars.
Accordingly, I hereby direct the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (Commissioner) to direct a review of certifications of non-delinquency in taxes that companies bidding for Federal contracts are required to submit pursuant to a 2008 amendment to the Federal Acquisition Regulation. I further direct that the Commissioner report to me within 90 days on the overall accuracy of contractors’ certifications.
I also direct the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, working with the Secretary of the Treasury and other agency heads, to evaluate practices of contracting officers and debarring officials in response to contractors’ certifications of serious tax delinquencies and to provide me, within 90 days, recommendations on process improvements to ensure these contractors are not awarded new contracts, including a plan to make contractor certifications available in a Government-wide database, as is already being done with other information on contractors.
Executive departments and agencies shall carry out the provisions of this memorandum to the extent permitted by law. This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
The Director of the Office of Management and Budget is hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

# Lobenstein v. United States/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
91 U.S. 324
Lobenstein v. United States
We agree entirely with the Court of Claims in its construction of the contracts sued upon in this case. By one contract, Lobenstein was to have 'all the hides of beef-cattle slaughtered for Indians at Camp Supply, . . . up to and including June 30, 1870, which the Superintendent of Indian Affairs at that place shall decide are not required for the comfort of the Indians; the number of hides to be about 2,000, more or less.' The other contract is similar in its terms for the hides of cattle slaughtered for Indians at Fort Sill, the number to be about 4,000, more or less.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs directed that all the cattle should be turned over to the Indian agent on foot; and this was done. None were slaughtered by any person acting under the authority of the United States; but they were all given out from time to time to the Indians, by whom they were killed. Consequently, no hides could be delivered under the contracts.
There was no obligation on the part of the United States to slaughter the cattle or any portion of them for the Indians; and they were only bound to deliver the hides of such as they did slaughter, in case the Superintendent of Indian Affairs did not decide that they were required for the comfort of the Indians. If he decided that all were required by the Indians, that excused the United States from delivery to Lobenstein. He did, in effect, so decide when the Commissioner directed that the cattle should all be delivered on foot. Lobenstein took this risk when he entered into the contracts, and he undoubtedly made his calculations of profits in case of success accordingly. The best evidence of this is to be found in the fact that he claims in this action to recover more than $15,000 for alleged loss of profits, while he has actually expended in preparation to meet his obligations only $1,256.75.
The estimate of the number of hides as made in the contracts does not create an obligation on the part of the United States to deliver that number. That estimate was undoubtedly intended as a representation of the probable number of cattle that would be delivered to the Indians. In point of fact, the number actually delivered was very much less. Neither party could determine how many would be reserved by the Commissioner for the use of the Indians. Therefore, necessarily, when the contract was made, the number specified could not have been understood to be a guaranteed number. If that number or its approximation was not guaranteed, none was. It follows as a consequence that this claimant has no right of action. He took his risk, and insured himself in his anticipated large profits if his venture proved a success.
The judgment of the Court of Claims is affirmed.

# Lights (Powell)

Extracted from The Smart Set magazine, Vol 13, July 1904, p. 139.
LIGHTS
I'D seen the golden sunlight robe
The world with splendor rare;
I only knew its gladness when
I saw it in your hair.
I'd watched the moonlight kiss the sea
And bathe the sleeping land;
I only knew its beauty when
It gleamed upon your hand.
I'd seen the faint, wan starlight work
Its miracle of grace;
I only knew its softness when
It shone upon your face.
I'd watched the lovelight dawn with smiles,
I'd watched it pale with sighs;
I only knew its sweetness when
I found it in your eyes.
Richard Stillman Powell.

Like silver lamps in a distant shrine, The stars are sparkling bright; The bells of the city of God ring out, For the Son of Mary is born tonight. The gloom is past, and the morn at last Is coming with orient light.
No earthly songs are half so sweet As those which are filling the skies, And never a palace shone half so fair As the manger-bed where our Savior lies; No night in the year is half so dear As this which has ended our sighs.
The stars of heaven still shine as at first They gleamed on this wonderful night, The bells of the city of God peal out, And the angels’ song still rings in the height, And loves still turns where the Godhead burns, Hid in flesh from fleshly sight.
Faith sees no longer the stable floor, The pavement of sapphire is there, The clear light of Heaven streams out to the world, And the angels of God are crowding the air, And Heaven and earth, thro’ the spotless birth, Are at peace on this night so fair.
