Well, at least this time there are more sources. Unfortunately, none of them (and I checked them all, except one which gave me a 404 Not Found) fit our requirements here at AFC. The majority of these links are links to articles that Olsen herself wrote. These are, obviously, not third-party sources. The majority of the remainder of the links are links to Olsen's biographies from various institutions with which she is affiliated. These are also not third-party sources. That leaves only a few others. One is an article in which one of Olsen's works is quoted -- it's not about Olsen at all. Another is the Jersey GOP's "Republican Babes" feature on Olsen, which ironically comes the closest to being a valid source. Unfortunately, since the article doesn't rely on Olsen's status as "Beauty and Brains Competition Winner" as the source of her notability, the "Republican Babes" feature isn't sufficient to establish notability. Surely, if Olsen truly is worthy of being profiled in an encyclopedia, someone with whom she has no affiliation has found it necessary to write a well-researched, verifiable article about her? Somewhere? Just one such source would be sufficient; even one hundred trivial references and non-third-party sources wouldn't make up for that one good source's absence.

Curtner v United States (1893)
edit
|
|---|
CURTNER et al. v. UNITED STATES.1 No. 258.
This was a bill in equity filed by the United States in the circuit court of the United States for the northern district of California, July 23, 1883, against Henry Curtner and others, Page 149 U.S. 662, 663 patentees of the state of California, for the purpose of having certain listings of indemnity school lands situated in that state in township 3 S., range 3 E., and in township 2 S., range 1 E., set aside and canceled, and the lands decreed to be held subject to the grant made for the purpose of aiding the construction of the Pacific Railroad, as provided in the acts of congress of July 1, 1862, and July 2, 1864. The bill was demurred to, and amended, and to the amended bill a demurrer was interposed, which was overruled, Judge Sawyer delivering an opinion. 11 Sawy. 411, 26 Fed. Rep. 296. The bill averred that on July 1, 1862, congress passed an act by which the Union Pacific Railroad Company was incorporated for the purpose of constructing a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean, and by which it was provided that 'there be, and is hereby, granted to the said company, for the purpose of aiding in the construction of said railroad, ... every alternate section of public land, designated by odd numbers, to the amount of five alternate sections per mile on each side of said railroad, on the line thereof, and within the limits of ten miles on each side of said road, not sold, reserved, or otherwise disposed of by the United States, and to which a pre-emption or homestead claim may not have attached, at the time the line of said road is definitely fixed. ... And all such lands, so granted by this section, which shall not be sold or disposed of by said company within three years after the entire road shall have been completed, shall be subject to settlement and pre-emption, like other lands, at a price not exceeding one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, to be paid to said company.' 12 Stat. 489, 492. That the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California was by the act declared entitled to the benefit of this land grant, on the same terms and conditions as the Union Pacific Railroad Company. That on October 31, 1864, the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California assigned to the Western Pacific Railroad Company the right to earn the land grant along and through the ___location where the land in controversy is situated, and that this assignment Page 149 U.S. 662, 664 was ratified by act of congress of March 3, 1865. 13 Stat. 504. It was further alleged that by the act of July 1, 1862, the railroad company seeking the benefit of the grant therein provided for was required, within two years after its passage, to file a map of its general route in the department of the interior, and thereupon the secretary of that department should cause the lands within 15 miles of such general route to be withdrawn from pre-emption, private entry, and sale. That when any portion of said route was finally located the secretary of the interior should cause the said lands so granted to be surveyed and set That a map of the general route of the road was filed in the department of the interior on December 8, 1864, and that the secretary of that department, on January 30, 1865, caused the lands within 25 miles of such general route to be withdrawn from pre-emption, private entry, and sale. That the land in controversy was within those limits. That on February 1, 1870, the map of the line of the road, as definitely fixed, was filed with the secretary of the interior, and on that day the line of the road was definitely fixed. That on December 29, 1869, the road was completed in all respects as contemplated by said act of congress, and the Western Pacific Railroad Company was entitled to have and receive patents from the United States for the land in controversy, the same being within 10 miles of the road so completed, and not sold, reserved, or otherwise disposed of by the United States. And also that the Western Pacific Railroad Company and Page 149 U.S. 662, 665 the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California became consolidated on June 22, 1870, under the name of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and that the said Western Pacific and its successor, the Central Pacific, did, within three years of the completion of the said road, sell and dispose of the land in controversy to persons other than the lefendants. The bill then averred that 'the commissioner of the general land office did, at the various and respective times hereinafter stated, without right and through error, inadvertence, and mistake, wrongfully list, by certified lists thereof, to the state of California, the said above-described lands;' and then follow four lists, covering the lands in controversy, dated September 8, 1870; March 11, 1871; November 15, 1871; and March 24, 1873. That on May 12, 1874, the railroad company, by its deputy land agent, presented to the register and receiver of the local land office a selection of lands claimed by it under its grant, numbered 13, including these lands; that the 'mistake, error, and inadvertence of the said commissioner of the general land office in listing by certified lists said land to the state of California was not discovered by complainants, or its officers of the said land department, or by said Central Pacific Railroad Company or its grantees, until the 12th of May, 1874, nor could the same by reasonable diligence have been discovered sooner; that thereupon said register and receiver wrongfully, and in violation of their duty, refused to certify said list as aforesaid requested, and refused to certify the same in any manner whatever.' It was further alleged 'that the state of California did at various times subsequent to said eighth (8th) day of September, A. D. 1870, by its land patents, purport to convey said lands mentioned in said list to divers and sundry persons other than 'the Western Pacific Railroad Company' or its successors, the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and against the will and without the consent of the said companies, or either of them, as follows, to wit.' And then follow the dates of the patents, the lands patented, and the names of the patentees, the dates being February 3, 1871; April 3, 1871; November 29, 1871 Page 149 U.S. 662, 666 May 18, 1872; and March 4, 1878, respectively. And that the patentees subsequently to the issue of the patents by the state to them, respectively, and prior to the commencement of this action, 'did by valid mesne conveyances, duly executed and acknowledged, convey all their right, title, and interest in and to said lands to the defendants herein.' The bill further averred that the lands so patented by the state were on July 1, 1862, November 30, 1862, July 2, 1864, October 5, 1864, January 30, 1865, and December 29, 1869, alternate sections of the public lands of the United States, and were within the limits of the railroad grant, and had not been sold or reserved or otherwise disposed of by the United States, and that no pre-emption or homestead claim had attached thereto at the time the line of the road was definitely fixed; that the president of the United States refused to issue patents to the railroad company for said lands, 'not because the said the Western Pacific Railroad Company and its successors had not complleo with the said acts of congress, nor because it was not the kind and description of land granted, but solely because said land had previously been, by mistake, wrongfully and inadvertently listed to the state of California, as hereinbefore set forth,' and that the defendants and their grantors at the time mentioned in the bill 'had actual notice of the said grant of said lands to said company, the said withdrawal thereof, the said erroneous and unlawful listing thereof by the said error, inadvertence, and mistake of the said commissioner, and of each and all of the matters and things hereinbefore set forth.' The bill then set forth various steps taken by the railroad company to procure patents from the interior department notwithstanding the listings to the state, and among other things that on March 18, 1879, the register and receiver at San Francisco reported that in accordance with instructions of January 24, 1878, they had on February 25, 1878, made demand on the state of California for the surrender of the certification of the lands hereinbefore described, and that no surrender had been made; that they also reported on the same day that in accordance with instructions of March 9, Page 149 U.S. 662, 667 1878, they furnished the state surveyor general, on March 26, 1878, with a copy of said instructions, and made demand on the state of California to surrender her title and listing of said lands, but that up to that date she had failed to surrender as requested; that on April 2, 1879, the reports were submitted to the secretary of the interior, and on the 26th of June the secretary affirmed the commissioner's decision of March 9, 1878, awarding the land to said company, but refusing to issue patents for the reason that said land had been wrongfully listed to the state of California. On December 8, 1879, the secretary of the interior transmitted to the commissioner a letter from the attorney general of California, dated April 1, 1878, refusing to relinquish the certification and listings of said lands theretofore listed and certified to the state by the commissioner; that afterwards a petition was filed in the general land office for a reconsideration of so much of the secretary's decision of June 26, 1879, as declined to issue to the railroad company patents for the lands that by mistake were wrongfully listed and certified to the state of California, and thereafterwards the papers were sent to the secretary, who on July 1, 1882, requested the opinion of the attorney general of the United States whether patents could then be issued for the lands, or whether the certification to the state must be first judicially vacated; that on October 18, 1882, the secretary of the interior wrote to the commissioner of the general land office, inclosing a copy of the attorney general's opinion, and directing the papers to be prepared for a suit to set aside the listing and certification to the state, and thereafterwards, on December 6, 1882, the secretary requested the attorney general to commence suit in the proper court. The bill then charged that a demand was duly made by the United States upon the state, February 25, 1878, and refused, and that the United States were bound, in equity and good faith, to hold the Central Pacific Railroad Company, its grantees and assigns, harmless from the consequences of errors and mistakes, and particularly those relating to the mistake and inadvertence of the commissioner of the general Page 149 U.S. 662, 668 land office. The bill further averred that proceedings had been continuously pending before the land department for the purpose of correcting the error and mistake, and had been prosecuted with due diligence, and in accordance with the usages of the department in relation to such matters. It was further stated that prior to December 6, 1882, it had been the practice of the department to issue second patents to claimants of land whenever it was made to appear that the first patent had been wrongfully issued. The prayer was that 'the said listings of said lands to the state of California as aforesaid be set aside, recalled, canceled, and annulled, and that all the defendants herein be forever estopped and forbidden from asserting any right or title to said lands, and that the same in said decree be declared to be public lands of the United States of America, subject to said rights of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, its grantees and assigns, as hereinbefore set forth,' and for general relief. Answers having been put in, evidence taken, and hearing had, a decree was rendered which annulled the listings and certifications to the state, adjudged the patents issued to the state to be void, and enjoined the defendants from asserting any title under them. H. F. Crane, E. R. Taylor, and Mich. Mullany, for appellants. Sol. Gen. Aldrich, A. T. Britton, and A. B. Browne, for appellees.
The lands in question were odd sections lying within the 20-mile limit of the grant of lands made to the Central Pacific Railroad Company to aid in the construction of its road, and situated partly in township 3 S., range 3 Page 149 U.S. 662, 669 E., Mount Diablo base and meridian, and partly in township 2 S., range 1 E. It is stated in the opinion of the circuit court rendered on the final hearing and reported in 38 Fed. Rep. 1, that 'between May 15, 1863, and May 16, 1864, after actual survey in the field, but before the survey had been officially adopted or recognized by the secretary of the interior, and before it had been approved by the surveyor general, and filed in the district land office, the state of California, by its locating agent, made selections and locations of all the lands now in controversy in township three, range three, in part satisfaction of the grant to the state of lands in lieu of sections 16 and 36, under the act of March 3, 1853, (10 Stat. 246.) Between February 17, 1864, and February 9, 1866, the state had issued its certificates of purchase to the several purchasers thereof, the first payments of the purchase money having been made. The selections, apparently, at their respective dates, were by the register of the land office entered in his office. A portion of these lands were certified over to the state by the land department at Washington, approved by the secretary of the interior on November 15, 1871, and the remainder on March 24, 1873, and they were afterwards patented to the purchasers by the state. The lands in controversy, situate in said township two, range one, were selected in advance of any survey in the field by the United States surveyor general, upon surveys made by the county surveyors of the state, between July 28, 1862, and July 20, 1863. Certificates of sale were issued to purchasers by the state for a part between March 2, 1863, and January 25, 1864, and for the remainder between February 20 and March 14, 1865. These selections were entered by the register of the land office on June 12, 1865. A part was certified over to the state by the secretary of the interior on September 8, 1870, and the rest on March 11, 1871. These lands were also afterwards patented to the purchasers by the state.' In the view which we take of the case, this summary of the evidence, in the particulars mentioned, may, for convenience, be accepted without restatement. The map of the general route of the railroad company was Page 149 U.S. 662, 670 filed in the general land office, December 8, 1864, and the order of withdrawal issued January 30, 1865. The road was completed December 29, 1869, and the map of definite ___location filed February 1, 1870. The selections of the railroad company embracing these lands were made May 12, 1874. The bill alleges, and the record shows, that patents for all but 320 acres of the lands were issued to persons mentioned in the bill, from November 9, 1870, up to and including April 5, 1873, and that the 320 acres were patented by the state to one of such persons March 4, 1878. The purchasers from the state, and their grantees, entered into actual occupation of the lands in controversy under their certificates of purchase, and from that time on had continued in the possession of the same. This suit was commenced July 23, 1883,-over 12 years and 8 months after the first patent issued, and over 5 years and 4 months after the issue of the last-named patent. The circuit court held that lands are not surveyed lands by the United States until a certified copy of the official plat of survey has been filed in the local land office; that this had not been done in respect of these lands, or, if done, that the filing was too late; that they were therefore unsurveyed; and that the selections, being made on unsurveyed lands, were 'utterly void.' These premises were denied by appellants, both as to the law and the fact. The circuit court also held that the state selections were void for the reason that the act of 1853, under which they were made, excepted from selection by the state, in lieu of school sections lost, 'lands reserved by competent authority,' and 'lands claimed under any foreign grant or title,' and 'mineral lands,' and that these lands were excepted because at the time of their selection, ___location, and sale by the state they were claimed under a Mexican grant known as 'Las Pocitas.' Appellants contended that this conclusion was based on a mistaken construction of the act of 1853, and an erroneous application of the act, if properly so construed, under the facts in the case. Page 149 U.S. 662, 671 Among the points raised upon the demurrer, and necessarily presented upon the final hearing, were these: First, whether the United States had such an interest in the subject-matter of the controversy as warranted their filing the bill; second, whether the claim set up was not barred by laches and limitations. The bill averred that the United States had granted the land to the railroad company; that the railroad company was entitled to a patent; that the lands had been wrongfully listed to the state, and for that reason the United States refused to grant a patent to the same; and therefore the bill was filed to enable the government to issue the patent. But it was also alleged that the Western Pacific Railroad Company and its successor, the Central Pacific Railroad Company, did, within three years of the completion of the road, sell and dispose of the land hereinbefore described to persons other than defendants. The road was completed December 29, 1869, so that the sale of the land by the railroad company to others than the defendants must have been before January, 1873, or 9 1/2 years before the original bill was filed. The rule in relation to the institution of suit by the attorney general of the United States to vacate a patent is thus stated by Mr. Justice Miller in U. S. v. San Jacinto Tin Co., 125 U.S. 273, 285, 8 S. Sup. Ct. Rep. 850: 'But we are of opinion that since the right of the government of the United States to institute such a suit depends upon the same general principles which would authorize a private citizen to apply to a court of justice for relief against an instrument obtained from him by fraud or deceit, or any of those other practices which are admitted to justify a court in granting relief, the government must show that, like the private individual, it has such an interest in the relief sought as entitles it to move in the matter. If it be a question of property, a case must be made in which the court can afford a remedy in regard to that property; if it be a question of fraud which would render the instrument void, the fraud must operate to the prejudice of the United States; and if it is Page 149 U.S. 662, 672 apparent that the suit is brought for the benefit of some third party, and that the United States has no pecuniary interest in the remedy sought, and is under no obligation to the party who will be benefited to sustain an action for his use,-in short, if there does not appear any obligation on the part of the United States to the public, or to any individual, or any interest of its own, -it can no more sustain such an action than any private person could under similar circumstances. 'In all the decisions to which we have just referred it is either expressed or implied that this interest or duty of the United States must exist, as the foundation of the right of action. Of course, this interest must be made to appear in the progress of the proceedings, either by pleading or evidence; and if there is a want of it, and the fact is manifest that the suit has actually been brought for the benefit of some third person, and that no obligation to the general public exists, which requires the United States to bring it, then the suit must fail. In the case before us the bill itself leaves a fair implication that if this patent is set aside the title to the property will revert to the United States, together with the beneficial interest in it.' And in U. S. v. Beebe, 127 U.S. 338, 342, 8 S. Sup. Ct. Rep. 1083, it was said by Mr. Justice Lamar, delivering the opinion of the court: 'If a patent is wrongfully issued to one individual which should have been issued to another, or if two patents for the same land have been issued to two different individuals, it may properly be left to the individuals to settle by personal litigation the question of right in which they alone are interested. But if it should come to the knowledge of the government that a patent has been fraudulently obtained, and that such fraudulent patent, if allowed to stand, would work prejudice to the interests or rights of the United States, or would prevent the government from fulfilling an obligation incurred by it, either to the public or to an individual, which personal litigation could not remedy, there would be an occasion which would make it the duty of the government to institute judicial proceedings to vacate such patent.' In the case before us the state of California and its grantees Page 149 U.S. 662, 673 claimed title under the United States, as did the railroad company and its grantees. Either the grantees of the state or the grantees of the railroad had, when the bill was filed, the title to the land. No fraud or imposition or wrong, as against the United States, was charged, and no case made upon which the United States sought relief for themselves. Nor was the case one of mistake, in the sense that the action of the United States and the state would have not been what it was but for ignorance of particular facts or of the law. If the state acquired the legal title by the listings, that legal title passed to its grantees; and, if the railroad company and its grantees acquired an equitable title, no reason is perceived why the real parties in interest could not litigate their claims, as between each other. And this was equally true if the state's selections and the listings were wholly void. No wrong was chargeable to the state, and if the state and railroad company each claimed the land in good faith upon mere questions of law and fact, without any element of wrong or fraud, it does not appear to us that the bill should be regarded as accomplishing anything more than raising a controversy between the parties actually in interest. Under the railroad grant acts themselves, nothing contained therein was to impair or defeat any valid claim existing at the time the line of road was definitely fixed; and upon the face of this record there can be no question that the claim of the state of California, based upon its making selections of the lands and presenting the same for approval, was a claim in good faith, and the obligation of the United States to the state was as much to be considered as the obligation of the railroad company, and its liability to make good the loss was to that one of the parties upon whom the loss might finally fall. We are of opinion that upon the case made the same principles must be applied as if the litigation were between private parties. In this regard the case of U. S. v. Beebe, 127 U.S. 338, 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1083, is exactly in point and of controlling weight. There a bona fide claimant had made a ___location under a New Page 149 U.S. 662, 674 Madrid certificate, perfected his claim, and received a certificate upon which he had become entitled to a patent for the land. Afterwards, and while the matter was pending, Beebe and others, as was alleged, by some imposition or fraud, procured a patent to be issued to them for the same land. Suit was permitted to be brought in the name of the United States to cancel the Beebe patent, and the defenses relied on in the court below were (1) the want of authority in the attorney general to file a bill for an annulment of a patent in a case like that; (2) that the claim was barred by the statute of limitations; (3) that the claim sued on was stale ; (4) that the complainant had no equity to maintain the suit. It was held by this court that the United States could properly proceed, by bill in equity, to have a judicial decree of annulment and an order of cancellation of a patent issued by mistake, or procured by fraud, where the government had a direct interest or was under an obligation respecting the relief sought, but that, in the language of Mr. Justice Lamar, 'when the government is a mere formal complainant in a suit, not for the purpose of asserting any public right, or protecting any public interest, title, or property, but merely to form a conduit through which one private person can conduct litigation against another private person, a court of equity will not be restrained from administering the equities existing between the real parties by any exemption of the government, designed for the protection of the rights of the United States alone. The mere use of its name in a suit for the benefit of a private suitor cannot extend its immunity as a sovereign government to said private suitor, whereby he can avoid and escape the scrutiny of a court of equity into the matters pleaded against him by the other party, nor stop the court from examining into and deciding the case according to the principles governing courts of equity in like cases between private litigants. These principles, so far as they relate to general statutes of limitation, the laches of a party, and the lapse of time, have been rendered familiar to the legal mind by the oft-repeated enunciation and enforcement of them in the decisions of this court. According to these decisions, courts of equity, in gen- Page 149 U.S. 662, 675 eral, recognize and give effect to the statute of limitations as a defense to an equitable right, when at law it would have been properly pleaded as a bar to a legal right.' The decision of the circuit court in that case, dismissing the bill on the ground of laches, was sustained, because although Beebe had procured his patent by fraud and imposition upon the government or its officers, and the superior right to the land was originally in others, yet it was apparent that the suit was prosecuted in the name of the United States only on behalf of private persons, and therefore should be barred if they were. Tested by this rule, it is clear that the claim of the railroad company and its grantees cannot be sustained. The grant was in praesenti, and attached upon the filing of the map of definite ___location. When the identification of a granted section became so far complete as to authorize the grantee to take possession, the legal title of the granted land passed, and an action for possession could be maintained by the company or its grantees before the issue of a patent. The patent would have been evidence that the land named was granted, that the grantee had complied with the conditions of the grant, and that the grant was to that extent relieved from the possibility of forfeiture for breach of its conditions, but was not essential to transfer the legal right. Salt Co. v. Tarpey, 142 U.S. 241, 12 Sup. Ct. Rep. 158; Land Co. v. Griffey, 143 U.S. 32, 12 Sup. Ct. Rep. 362. The company had on February 1, 1870, whatever title it could obtain, and whatever rights belonged to it, and its cause of action then accrued. The land had already been certified to the state by the commissioner of the general land office and the secretary of the interior, and their action in that regard was, in law, the same as if patents had been issued to the state. Frasher v. O'Connor, 115 U.S. 102, 5 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1141. If that action was wholly void, then it was open to collateral attack, and the railroad company and its grantees could have brought suit to test the legal title at once. Doolan v. Carr, 125 U.S. 618, 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1228. If that action was not void, but the interior department had taken mistaken views of the law, or drawn erroneous con- Page 149 U.S. 662, 676 clusions from the evidence, and the railroad company and its grantees possessed such equities as would control the legal title vested in the state and its grantees, then resort could have been had to a court of equity for relief. Smelting Co. v. Kemp, 104 U.S. 636. In either aspect the rights of the parties could have been determined by proceedings on behalf of the company or its grantees against the patentees of the state or their grantees; but instead of instituting such proceedings the railroad company besieged the principal officers of the land department to ignore the action of their predecessors in office, and to exercise a power that had become functus officio. Noble v. Railroad Co., 147 U.S. 175, 13 Sup. Ct. Rep. 271. If patents had been issued to the railroad company, then the case would have been presented of two patents for the same land issued to two different parties, and, as pointed out in U. S. v. Beebe, the matter might properly be left to those parties to settle by personal litigation. This bill was not filed until more than 13 years after the cause of action had accrued, and 12 years after the first patent, and over 5 years after the last patent, was issued, by the state, while the selections and purchases thereunder were made long before. Under the laws of California an action may be brought by any person against another, who claims an estate or interest in real property adverse to him for the purpose of determining such adverse claim; but no action can be brought for the recovery of real property, or for possession thereof, or arising out of the title thereto, unless such action is commenced within five years after the cause of action shall have accrued, and an action for relief not otherwise provided for must be commenced within four years. Code Civil Proc. Cal. 318, 319, 343, 738. Whether the statute be applied directly or by analogy, or the rule in equity founded upon lapse of time and staleness of claim, the delay and laches here are fatal to the maintenance of the suit. The ineffectual pressure of the company on the land de- Page 149 U.S. 662, 677 partment furnished no excuse as between the real parties to this litigation, and the United States occupied no such relation to the case as to be entitled to the exemption from litigation and laches accorded to governments proceeding in their own right. If, through erroneous action of its officers, the bounty of the government in the particular instance has not reached those for whom it was intended, but has reached beneficiaries who were not intended to have these particular lands, the government may be relied on to effectuate its own designs, and to make good any moral obligation that rests upon it; but it had not such pecuniary or other interest in this litigation as entitled it to ask the suspension of the beneficent rules applied by the courts in the administration of justice between individuals. The decree is reversed, and the cause remanded, with a direction to dismiss the bill. Mr. Justice FIELD dissented.
I am not able to agree with the majority of the court in their decision of this case. The lands in controversy fall within the limits of the grant to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, but by mistake and inadvertence of the land department they were listed to the state of California. Discovering its mistake, the department refused to issue to the company a patent for the lands to which it was entitled until the erroneous listing to the state was set aside and annulled. The present bill was filed by the attorney general for that purpose, and because of this proceeding, and the delay of the company in waiting on its issue, instead of taking steps to enforce its rights at law for the lands, this court now holds that it has lost the right to them; and that, as the United States have no interest in the property, except to clear it of the cloud of the listing wrongly made, they cannot maintain the suit. The result, which produces simple injustice to the railroad company without wrong on its part, ought not, in my judgment, to be upheld. Page 149 U.S. 662, 678 In U. S. v. Hughes, 11 How. 568, a patent had been issued by mistake to Hughes in disregard of the prior rights of one Goodbee and of parties deriving title under him. The United States filed an information in the nature of a bill in equity against Hughes for the repeal and surrender of his patent, on the ground that its existence impaired the ability of the government to fulfill its engagements to Goodbee. The case was before this court originally on demurrer, and it was held that the court had jurisdiction to annul the patent thus improvidently issued. When here a second time, (4 Wall. 232,) the court, reaffirming its first decision, said: 'When this case was here on demurrer the patent was considered by the court to be a valid instrument, conveying the fee of the United States, and, until annulled, as rendering them incapable of complying with their engagement to Goodbee or his alienees Whether regarded in that aspect, or as a void instrument, issued without authority, it prima facie passed the title, and therefore it was the plain duty of the United States to seek to vacate and annul the instrument, to the end that their previous engagement might be fulfilled by the transfer of a clear title, the only one intended for the purchaser by the act of congress. The power of a court of equity by its decree to vacate and annul the patent, under the circumstances of this case, is undoubted. Relief, when deeds or other instruments are executed by mistake or inadvertence of agents, as well as upon false suggestions, is a common head of equity jurisprudence.' Upon this doctrine the court below proceeded in this case, in order that the government might discharge its obligation to the railroad company. It is a case where the government admits the error of its officers of the land department, acknowledges its obligation to correct it, and seeks to romove from its records the inadvertent and erroneous certification to the state of the lands so that it may be able to issue a clear title to the railroad company, the right of that company having been finally determined, and thus carry out the pledge of its grant. There was at no time an admission by the railroad company Page 149 U.S. 662, 679 of the correctness of the original action of the land department, or any acquiescence therein, but, insisting always upon the error of its proceedings, the company urged upon the department to correct them, and issue to it the patent which the law authorized. The case is not, in my judgment, within the doctrine of U. S. v. Beebe, 127 U.S. 338, 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1083, which would exclude the interference of the United States, but is within the doctrine which there recognizes and upholds it. In that case the orginal claimant had rested on the action of the land department, and sought the assistance of the United States only after the lapse of nearly half a century, and it was held that the interference of the government, after such a lapse of time, was simply a proceeding to avoid the laches of the claimant, and to give to him the benefit of its exemption from them. But it declared that a suit of the United States would lie to set aside a patent where the government was under an obligation respecting the relief invoked. In this case the railroad company has not remained inactive, but, upon a decision in its favor by the department, asked for its promised patent, which was only withheld because of the previous inadvertent and mistaken action of the government's officers in issuing a certificate to the state. In such circumstances the government, it seems to me, ought not to be debarred the right to correct the mistake of its officers, by which alone the intention of the law was defeated. I think the decree below should be affirmed.

Current WorkeditCurrently he is a Visiting Fellow of the Saban Centre for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution (USA) where he is currently writing a monograph on European Muslim youth.[2] In 2005, Dr. Hellyer was nominated as Deputy Convenor of the UK Government’s Home Office working group on ‘Tackling Extremism and Radicalisation’ [3] in the aftermath of the 7th July bombings in London. In that capacity, he engaged with different parts of the UK and US administrations and security agencies.
Educational BackgroudeditHe has a BA in Law (where he also read Politics, Criminology and Biblical Studies), and a Masters in International Political Economy from the University of Sheffield (UK). He has a PhD in Ethnic Relations from the University of Warwick (UK) under Professor Muhammad Anwar, one of Europe’s most prolific academics on race. His doctorate concentrated on European law, history, sociology and classical jurisprudence. Previous Work Experience, Conferences, Articles, and ContributionseditProfessor Hellyer has been asked to speak on various issues by fora in the US, the UK, Denmark, Egypt,[7] Nigeria, Qatar, Germany and the UAE to speak on various issues. In November 2006, he was one of the few specialists on Islam and European identity to be invited as a guest speaker at the UK’s quasi-governmental organisation ‘Commission for Racial Equality’ [8]30th anniversary conference, and recently the US-Islamic World Forum [9] arranged by the Qatari Foreign Ministry requested he speak on Muslims in Europe to a broad selection of policy makers & intellectuals from the West and the Arab world. In July 2007, he was invited by the ‘Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow’ conference [10] in Copenhagen funded by the World Economic Forum to speak on the integration of Islam in Europe, while earlier in the year a multi-national conference arranged on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. requested he speak on European identity and Islam. As a commentator, he has written for and engaged with different parts of the media including The Guardian,[11] Open-Democracy.Net, The Daily Star (Egypt),[12] Islam-Online.Net,[13][14] the BBC World Service, the Independent, Q-News, and Emel.

The Cult Of Retman
edit
|
|---|
In the begining there was Ret. Nothing else existed except ret, not light nor dark, not good nor evil. Only Ret. He first created time, then came light, darkness, rocks and trees, mountains and forests, planets, galaxys. The universe was born. Although Ret knew that something was missing, Free thought. Whole casts of creatures where set into motion around the universe. Over the billions upon billions of years the creatures grew, evolved, loved, hated, made homes civilizations, empires. Ret created one master race to safe guard the lesser races. They where know as the "The Tanks". The Tanks where not many in number, only 200 in all. However what they where not in number they made up for in there power, skill, and will. The Tanks ruled peacefully and fairly for over 10 billion years. But like all things that have been touched with great power they started to become arrogant and prideful. Eventually they broke there vow too never turn upon themselfs. One side was the side of good, the other, the side of evil. The great Tank war had began. On the first battle, of the Universes first war, disaster struck, on both sides. As the tanks charged one another on the battle field, readly for war, readly for blood. Something terrible, yet great occurred. A tank can end something with one strike. But tanks are immortal. And can not die. Therefore if tanks where to fight each other the whole of existence would be destroyed in paradoxical confusion. Lord Retman seen this was about to happen and so he opened up 198 alternate dimensions, one for every tank. Except two. A swirling mass of portals riped open the very sky that day, and when they left only two tanks where left standing. Two from the side of good. Lord Retman spoke too the two remiaing tanks in the form of many many voices, and toled them a great many things. He said that in the distant future, he would call upon them in his time of need. But this would not be for a very long time, so they where commanded to travel to a far off world where the fate of the entire universe would one day be decided. The last of the tanks whose identities cannot be divulged for fear of their safety. The worlds name was Earth. When the tanks arive on Earth the world was still just an infant. The tanks traveled deep into the earths crust, and waited. Waited for the time when Lord Retman would need them. Waited untill the year 1999. In the year 1999 Lord Retman came to the world, but not as a god, as a man. His two Archbishops where the last of the tanks. They were to be his vioce on earth. They were to tell the peoples of the world the truth. They were to point and guide them down the path of righteousness. Lord Retman and his Archbishops traveled to the vatican city, Rome. But Pope John Paul the second would not hear Lord Retman out, and demanded he leave Rome, Or pay the price. Death. Lord Retman and his two Archbishops, ended up in Dublin Ireland. Where they met a young street musician named Kris Carlon. The fist apostle. Six years past in Ireland, but still the faith fell upon deaf ears. Just as they where starting to make some headway in the town of Tralee, a message came from the Pope John Paul the second. He said that he now understood Lord Retmans teachings and wanted to convert himself and his flock. The catholic church learned of Pope John Pauls plans, and because of there blind greed and lust for power could not let them be carried out, and so they paid off someone to assassinate the Pope John Paul. After the assassination the catholic church coverd up what really happened with there lies. The chruch arrested Lord Retman in secret and held him captive in a prison in the town of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Lord Retmans two Archbishops and Kirs Carlon learnd of his capture and rushed to Croatia. The Archbishops along with Kris Carlon instagated a prison break and in the chaos managed to get Lord Retman to the boat they had waiting for him. Lord Retman decided that they should all part ways untill the chruch had move on to other evil plots. The two Archbishops went to scotlandand awaited orders from Lord Retman in a town called Coatbridge. Kris Carlon went to the city of Glasgow where he preached the word of Ret for a year, untill he mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Lord Retman went to the Republic of Paraguay and hid out in the woodland of the country, thinking of his next move. Two years past by. Untill one day when two Archbishops received the orders from Lord Retman that they had been waiting for. The orders came via a video the Lord Posted on the video site "youtube", people who do not know what they are looking for will only see the video as meaningless gibberish. But the Archbishops knew what they where looking for, they had there orders. On the 7th of May 2007, the cult of Retman went global. Word of the Lords presence and teachings spread like wild fire. The cult was also gaining more presence in world politics and was begining to convert people from all other religions and beliefs systems by the thousand. Three Grand Cardinals were appointed in the cult with five Cardinals under them, sixty-five Bishops under them, and an unlimited amount of Priests under them. The world sang there praises for The Cult Of Retman who had given the world hope, and a bright future. However all this changed. On the night god died. In 2006 Kris Carlon had disappeared and despite constant effort from Lord Retman there was still no trace of him. Untill a message was sent to the lord, from Kris Carlon. The message said that Lord Retman should meet Carlon in the city of Vienna, alone, he would explain more when they met. Lord Retman had no idea what was about to happen. Betrayal, bitter, bitter betrayal. You see when Kris Carlon had disappeared in glasgow 2006, he was captured by the demi-god Darren Pilkington, the ultimate evil. Darren Pilkington warped Carlons mind into hating the good Lord Retman. When Lord Retman arrived in Vienna that night he did not met his old friend Kris Carlon. He met Darren Pilkington. He met his death. Kris Carlon and the ultimate evil brutally murdered Lord Retman, and Pilkington stole the Lords devine power for himself. That day was 22 May 2007. That day was the day god had died. The ultimate evil then cast Kris Carlon aside and allowed Carlon to regain control of him self and his thoughts again. The ultimate evil then perhaps did the crulest thing he could have done. He erased the worlds knowledge, memories, and love for Lord Retman. Lord Retman was dead, and forgotten. There was hope however, The two Archbishops learned of and orb which was know only as the "orb of power" this holy artifact could bring anyone even a god, back from the dead but only once. There was still hope. Kris Carlon Traveled to Toulouse in France where he sought out the orb of power. Even if Lord Retman were to be brought back form the dead, the war with the ultimate evil would still be very hard to win. So as Carlon searched for the orb of power, the Archbishops searched for Allies. Because of the ultimate evil and his dark minions power only a certain type of ally would stand a chance in the coming battle. The Tanks would have to be found, and brought back. The two Archbishops traveled to each of the 198 dimensions and stayed a year in each, but due to the time vortex in theses places it was as if they where gone only a minute to the people on earth. In each dimension the Archbishops proved them selves through mortal combat with each dimensions "Tank Lord". Soon The two Archbishops had returned, and so had the tanks. The ultimate evil and his dark minions fought the Archbishops and the tanks on the plant Mars away from earth. The bettle raged on for a whole month of constant hand to hand combat. In the tanks prevailed. In the end the side of good prevailed. The ultimate evil and his dark minions where totaly destroyed. When the Archbishops returned to earth they were greeted by Kris Carlon and Lord Retman. The tanks returned to there dimensional homes. The world was safe. The universe was safe. All was well. Except one thing, the world still had no memory of Lord Retman and the things he, his Archbishops and Kris Carlon had done for them. But this my friends, is why i have wrote this. Go and spread the faith. Ret Is Good . Ret Is God. Sourceseditwww.myspace.com/thecultofret 80.176.130.215 13:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

 Praia da Marinha (English: Beach of the Navy) is one of the most beautiful and emblematic beaches of Portugal, and was distinguished with the "Golden Beach" award for the Ministry of the Environment, in 1998, because of its singular natural values. Beyond this prestigious distinction, it still passed to be the promocional image of the 'Guide of Portugal' distributed by the whole world.[1] This beach, situated in the coast zone of Lagoa, in the Algarve, is not only famous by its cliffs but also by the high quality of the water. Praia da Marinha has been very used by the advertising agencies and television for advertising campaigns.

The Brain Game
edit
|
|---|
The Brain Game The Brain Game is a game that originates from Chelmsford in Essex. It was created by a St. John Payne student after being inspired by the film 'Waiting.' The student still attends the school. The whole point of the game is to display the male genitalia, (normally the testicles) to another male by cunning ways. However the prey must be aware of the rules of the Brain Game and look directly at the genitalia in order to be classed officially 'Brained!!!'or 'GAY!'. There after the victim receives powerful kicks to the backside. The amount of kicks received depends on the variation on how the person was 'Brained.' They are as follows: The Brain - Is where you grasp around the testes and squeeze them outwards, therefore creating an image like a brain. = 2 kicks The Bat wing - Is where you stretch the excess skin from the 'ball sack' thus creating a feature like a bat wing. = 3 kicks The Goat - Is the combination of tucking the testicles and the penis between your legs, whilst holding a mooning position. = 5 kicks The Full Monty - Pretty self explanatory. = 25 kicks The Hot Dog - Is where the penis is placed between the sides of a bread roll = 30 kicks The Candle or Flame thrower - Is the most dangerous but most rewarding variation. This involves standing side on of the victim, whilst lighting and holding a lighter beside the tip of the penis. This therefore resembles an image of a candle or a flame thrower. The game can also be played by females but this is a rare event especially during the winter as the most easiest way to perform a certain variation is by wearing a skirt. The game is also in good jester and can create quite a competition. Also please note this game is not an excuse for exhibitionists or homosexuals and excessive performance can cause a ban.

The Amigo Airsho is El Paso’s premier family event. Through its acts and exhibits, the Airsho educates the public by allowing them to actually experience aviation’s history from its barnstorming days to the present. Established as a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation, the Amigo Airsho expands it mission to contribute money to charities. Over the last twenty five years, the Amigo Airsho has donated and contributed over $1,000,000 to over 220 local charities and service organizations. The Amigo Airsho is grateful for the vision of the founding directors and generous business community in creating an event of this magnitude. As the largest combined effort of the military and community on behalf of the show, the show has grown with an entertainment value unequaled in El Paso. The event provides nine hours of daily entertainment including a WheelSho, KidSho, TradeSho displays, interactive amusements, Ft. Bliss military displays and over 100 military, Warbird, and civilian static aircraft, and of course, a top-rated air show. Year after year, the Amigo Airsho is an outstanding success and proves to be a perfect marriage for aviation enthusiasts and the Amigo Airsho organization. With the ongoing support of the business community, Ft. Bliss, the enthusiasm of our spectators, and equally invaluable the dedication of nearly 1000 volunteers, the Amigo Airsho will continue to grow and bring recognition to the greater El Paso Metroplex. The 2006 Amigo Airsho had attendance over 65,000. The estimated attendance of out-of- town visitors was 2200. The average airshow spectator would remain in the city for four days and two nights spending an average of $110.00 a day, including room and rent-a-car. In 2006, Amigo Airsho spectators brought almost $500,000 into the city of El Paso. In addition to the spectators the Amigo Airsho also brings in performers and static display crews, grounds performers, vendors and more. The total number of individuals in these groups each year is about 250. With an average stay of four days, the amount of dollars brought into the city by airshow performers, crews, and related groups is an estimated $100,000. Total estimated dollars brought into El Paso in 2000 via the Amigo Airsho $5,093,000

Criticism Of Pentecostalism
edit
|
|---|
Although Pentecostals consider themselves to be true Christians, there is a loud expression of opposition from those commonly known as "mainline Christianity" (Oriental Orthodoxy, Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, & mainline Protestants). Among the Pentecostals, however, there are many who respect how Pentecostalism energizes its followers (ie: "speaking in tongues") -- although it's ideas such as these that seem ridiculous to mainline Christianity. Speaking in tongues is thought to be one of many miracles by Pentecostals, but it proves to cause division as others point to the idea that you can't just randomly speak another language without learning it. Even so, there are attempts for unity by some, including the Vatican, despite major doctrinal differences. For the present, though -- especially for the more conservative churches (ie: Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria) -- there continues to be major and widespread criticism of Pentecostalism. Sourcesedithttp://ex-pentecostals.org/criticisms.htm http://www.comingintheclouds.org/issues/tongues.htm http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/PCCUPENT.HTM http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_44_15/ai_57893715 207.6.229.114 19:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
If you want to pursue this topic, I would start by adding a new "Criticism" section to the Pentacostalism article. Then you can work with the editors of that article on expanding that section to the point where it needs an article of its own. |

Ron Sun
edit
|

His research interest centers around the study of cognition, especially in the areas of cognitive architectures, human reasoning and learning, cognitive social simulation, and hybrid connectionist-symbolic models. For his paper on integrating rule-based and connectionist models for accounting for human everyday reasoning, he received the 1991 David Marr Award from Cognitive Science Society. For his work on human skill learning, he received the 2008 Hebb Award from the International Neural Network Society. Throughout the past two decades, he has been conducting research in the fields of psychological learning and hybrid neural networks (by applying these models to research on human skill acquisition). Specifically, he has worked on the integrated effect of top-down and bottom-up learning in human skill acquisition in a variety of task domains, for example, navigation tasks (Sun, Merrill, & Peterson, 2001), reasoning tasks, and implicit learning tasks (Sun, Slusarz, & Terry, 2005). This inclusion of bottom-up learning processes has been revolutionary in cognitive psychology, because most previous models of learning have focused exclusively on top-down learning (whereas human learning clearly happens in both directions). This research has culminated with the development of an integrated cognitive architecture that can be used to provide a quantitative explanation of empirical psychological learning data. The model, CLARION, is a hybrid neural network that can be used to simulate problem solving and social interactions as well. More importantly, CLARION was the first psychological model that proposed an explanation for the “bottom-up learning” mechanisms present in human skill acquisition: His numerous papers on the subject have brought attention to this neglected area in cognitive psychology. He is the founding co-editor-in-chief of the journal Cognitive Systems Research, and also serves on the editorial boards of many other journals. He is the general chair and the program chair of CogSci 2006, and the program chair of IJCNN 2007. He is a member of the Governing Boards of Cognitive Science Society and International Neural Networks Society. His URL is: http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun Books: R.

The listed sources aren't quite sufficient to prove notability within his field. I don't have access to the Marquis Who's Who, but I also don't know how reliable it is. The first link merely lists the subject's name and position. The second link is a biography written for an event at which he was lecturing; that doesn't qualify as third-party since he probably provided that information himself. The third link is to a book he himself wrote -- also not third-party. The fourth link is just a list of publications, and the last link is a list of citations. None of these are reliable, third-party sources that discuss the subject. |

The sources listed may indeed validate the data in the article, but I can't tell. Please cite specific sources, not just the name of an organization, bureau, or company. For example -- if I need to validate that "the Orange County Business Journal is among the largest and most successful Business Journals in the country", a datum for which you provided "Audit Bureau of Circulations" as a reference, how would I do that? I went to the ABC web site but it was not clear at all a) what exactly ABC is, b) what its relationship to the OCBJ is, and c) how to find the datum referenced in this article. That's what I mean by being specific -- tell us exactly where the information can be found. |

Araceli Rosas

Araceli Rosas (1989-September 3, 2004) was an amateur race car driver who died during a school-sanctioned race. Sources speculate the reason her crash was a result of Rosas answering a text message from her "friend" Edith Racanac. The nature of their "friendship" was still uncertain at the time, although sources stated the two had planned to move in together after graduation. Sourcesedit76.169.61.27 00:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
