Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JNO. D. DEFREES, Superintendent Puhlic Printing. Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Sjyeaher of the House of Representatives. Office Superintendent Public Printing, Washington, January 19, 1865. The ninth section of the joint resolution approved on the 23d of June, 1860, authorizing the establishment of a printing office and bookbindery in this city for the execution of the public printing and binding, makes it the duty of the Superintendent to report annually to Congress "the exact condition of the pub- lic printing, binding, and engraving, the amount and cost of all such printing, binding, and engraving, the amount and cost of all paper purchased for the same, and such further information as may be within his knowledge in regard to all matters connected therewith." And the second section of the same joint resolution directs that the Superintendent report annually to Congress " the number of hands employed, and the length of time each has been employed." In compliance with these provisions, I have the honor to submit this report, with statements made up for the year ending on the 30th of September, 1864, as follows No. 1. Printing for Congress and its cost (exclusive of paper and engravings) at the prices fixed by the printing act of 1852. 2 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING. No. 2.

Printing paper, uncalendered, 50 lbs $8 S7 J per ream. $15 50 per ream. Do calendered, 56 lbs 12 60 do. 20 16 do. Do sized and calendered, 50 lbs. 12 00 do. 19 50 do. ^[ap paper 27 per lb. 45 per lb.

REPOET OF SUPEEIXTEXDENT OF PUBLIC FEINTING. 3 Thus it will be seen that the same amount of labor which, in 1864, cost 6403,396 51, for printing and binding, will, in 1865, at present prices, cost $453,821 06, being an increase of $50,424 55 ; and the same qnantitj of paper which cost $713,481 16 in 1864, will cost $1,277,243 91 in 1865, being an increase of $563,762 75. These figures indicate that the cost of the public printing and binding, during the year ending on the 30th September, 1865, un- less very considerably reduced below the requirements of the preceding year, vrill approximate the very large sum of tivo millions of dollars f COXDITION OF THE PUBLIC PRINTTXG. Appended to statement Xo. 1 will be found a list of the public documents ordered to be printed by Congress, and which were unfinished when the statis- tical portion of this report was prepared, (the 30Lh of September, 1864.) Since that time, however, many of these have been completed, and the condition of the residue is as follows : Rejwrt on the Eighth Census, vol. 2, quarto.—This volume was commenced several months ago, and the printing has progressed as rapidly as the manuscript has been furnished. Twenty-two thousand five hundred extra copies are ordered to be printed—eight thousand for the use of the Senate, ten thousand for the use of the-House of Representatives, and four thousand five hundred for the use of the Census office. All of the copy for this volume has not yet been received at this office. I understand that two additional volumes are to be printed. If so, and all the copy can be furnished within one month from this time, so as to occasion no delay for the want of copy, nor for alterations from copy after being stereotyped, they shall be printed, bound, and delivered previous to the next session of Congress. Report of the Commissioner of Patents for 1862, in two volumes.—The illus- trations for this report have been engraved, and, together with the text, are being printed as rapidly as the facilities in my possession will allow, but its completion may not be expected for two or three months. Report of the Commissioner of Patents for 1863, in two volumes.—The illus- trations for this report are engraved, and the printing will be commenced as soon as the preceding report is completed. It will not be ready for distribution until late in the summer. Forty thousand extra copies of these tv.'o reports are ordered to be printed, making about fifteen hundred pages each : 10,000 copies for the use of the Senate, 20,000 for the use of the House, and 10,000 for the use of the Com- missioner of Patents. Coast Survey Report for 1863, quarto.—The letter-press portion of this report is printed, and the maps, thirty in number, are being prepared with all practica- ble expedition. It Avill be ready for delivery before the adjournment of Congress. Smithsonian P^eport for 1863.—This report is nearly finished, and will also be ready for delivery before the adjournment of Congress. Army Register for 1864.—The manuscript for this work has not yet been furnished, and I have no information as to the time it may be expected. Reports of the operations of the Armies of the United States.—The joint 4 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING. resolution approved on the 19tli of May, 1864, directs the Secretary of War to " furnish the Superintendent of Public Printing with copies of all such corre- spondence, by telegrapher otherwise, reports of commanding officers, and docu- ments of every description in relation to the existing rebellion, to be found in the archives of his department since the first day of December, eighteen hun- dred and sixty, to the present time, and during the continuance of said rebellion' which may be, in his opinion, proper to be published with said correspondence, re- ports, and documents, which shall be published in their proper chronological order.'^ No portion of the manuscript for the contemplated work has been received at this office. One edition of 25,000 copies of the Heport of the Commissioner of Agriculture for 1863, has been printed, bound, and delivered, and the remaining number of copies ordered will be printed as rapidly as the number of presses which can be withdrawn from the more pressing demands of the War Department, can ac- complish. Very considerable progress has been made in the printing of the documents com- municated to Congress with the message of the President at the commence- ment of the present session. Several of them have already been printed, and in the course of a few days copies of all of them will be laid upon the tables of members. The cost of the public printing executed during the year ending on the 30tli of September, 1864, as compared with the amount the same printing would have cost under the act of 1852— the system which immediately preceded the present—is as follows : The printing executed during the year ending on the 30th of September, 1863, would have cost, under the act of 1852, (see statements Nos.

  • Grade 7 Mini-Assessment Boston Massacre Set
    Grade 7 Mini-Assessment Boston Massacre Set This grade 7 mini-assessment is based two passages: “The Boston Massacre” and “Excerpt from The Boston Massacre.” These texts are considered to be worthy of students’ time to read and also meet the expectations for text complexity at grade 7. Assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) will employ quality, complex texts such as these. Questions aligned to the CCSS should be worthy of students’ time to answer and therefore do not focus on minor points of the text. Questions also may address several standards within the same question because complex texts tend to yield rich assessment questions that call for deep analysis. In this mini-assessment there are nine selected-response questions and two paper/pencil equivalents of a technology enhanced item that address the Reading Standards listed below, and one optional constructed-response question that addresses the Reading, Writing, and Language Standards listed below. We encourage educators to give students the time that they need to read closely and write to the source. While we know that it is helpful to have students complete the mini-assessment in one class period, we encourage educators to allow additional time as necessary. Note for teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs): This assessment is designed to measure students’ ability to read and write in English. Therefore, educators will not see the level of scaffolding typically used in instructional materials to support ELLs—these would interfere with the ability to understand their mastery of these skills. If ELL students are receiving instruction in grade-level ELA content, they should be given access to unaltered practice assessment items to gauge their progress.

    BETTER MUS’ COME PUBLICITY CONTACTS Tilane Jones [email protected] 818.995.0050 Rating: NR TRT: 104 minutes CREDITS Written & Directed by Storm Producer Paul Bucknor Executive Produced by Joshua Bratter Samantha Bratter Paul Bucknor Director of Photography Storm Editors Storm Paul Bucknor Cast Sheldon Shepherd - Ricky Nicole Grey - Kemala Ricardo Orgill - Flames Everaldo Creary - Short Man Roger Guenveur Smith - Prime Minister SYNOPSIS Better Mus’ Come is a coming of age drama set in Jamaica’s turbulent 1970s, against the backdrop of the Cold War, a national water crisis, an energy crisis, corruption, and numerous murder scandals that gave birth to the polarized violence gripping the streets of Kingston both then and now. After months of incarceration as a suspected political agitator, Ricky is released. Haunted by the tragic death of his devoted young wife and paralyzed by conflicting feelings of guilt and loyalty to his political tribe, he tries to navigate his way through the minefields created by the constant social upheaval that seems to be ubiquitous in his community, while providing a better life for his 5- year old son. At his home coming party Ricky meets Kemala, a book smart country girl, who lives in the opposing neighborhood, enemy territory. In many ways they are opposites, but what starts as antagonism quickly turns into burning passion. Kemala encourages Ricky to convince his old friends in the community to adopt a more passive approach. To defy the status quo of confrontation, this leads to the inevitable cycle of violence. The big question is, can Ricky and his crew beat the odds and ensure that Better Mus’ Come? Director’s Statement I’ve always been a bit of a cold war junkie, and there was a point in my life where I would watch, read, and research everything I could on geopolitics and espionage in the 20th century.

  • The Performative Politicization of Public Space: Mexico 1968-2008-2012 Robin Adèle Greeley
    thresholds 41 Spring 2013, 18-31 THE PERFORMATIVE POLITICIZATION OF PUBLIC SPACE: MEXICO 1968-2008-2012 ROBIN ADÈLE GREELEY Peña Nieto: the TV is yours; Mexico is ours! #YoSoy132 banner, June 2012 In May 2012, just weeks before the recent presidential elections in Mexico, a group of students at the Universidad Iberoamericana challenged the presidential candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Enrique Peña Nieto, during his cam- paign stop at the university.1 Peremptorily dismissed as being mob infiltrators hired by Peña Nieto’s political opponents, 131 Ibero students posted a video on YouTube displaying their university IDs and reiterating their outrage at the PRI’s persistent autocratic spurning of everyday citizens.2 The video sparked a spontaneous new grassroots political movement, “#YoSoy132” (“I am 132,” following up on the origi- nal 131 students) that rejected the PRI’s authoritarian neoliberalist platform and, in particular, its long history of collusion with powerful news media corporations.3 In the following weeks, hundreds of thousands of #YoSoy132 protestors repeatedly took to the streets across the country, to demand the democratization of the news media and the liberalization of the political system in Mexico. #YoSoy132 has regularly been compared to Mexico’s 1968 student movement which, as many have argued, “undermined forever the foundations of authoritarian- ism in Mexico.”4 Like their 1968 counterparts, #YoSoy132 has mounted a powerful anti-systemic call for a renewed politics “from below” to counteract the longstand- ing autocratic cronyism and corruption of the nation’s political leadership. Yet the comparison of #YoSoy132 with 1968 raises profound questions concerning the development of the public sphere in Mexico and its ability to foment a functional de- mocracy.

These transformations hold forth the greatest possibility yet for the respect for human rights and the achievement of social justice in El Salvador. Two provisions of the peace agreement touch more directly on the question of human rights. In April 1991, the negotiating parties agreed to the formation of a Commission on Truth, which would review "grave acts of violence which have occurred since 1980 and whose mark on society demands with great urgency public knowledge of the truth." In September 1991, the Salvadoran government and the FMLN agreed to a process of "purification" of the armed forces, to be carried out by an ad hoc Commission, which would review the records of military officers with a special focus on their human rights records.
