Lincoln Day banquet to host Senate majority leader
By Nancy Hastings
The Hillsdale Republican Party will host its annual Lincoln Day Dinner Saturday with Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville as the guest speaker.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. at Johnny T's Bistro with a social hour followed by dinner and comments from Richardville promptly at 7 p.m., said organizer Gloria Vear.
Richardville was elected to the Michigan Senate in November 2006. Upon re-election in 2010, he was selected as Senate majority leader by his fellow Republican caucus members.
Prior to his election to the Senate, Richardville spent three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives from 1999-2004. He held a leadership position in the House in each of his terms — serving as the majority floor leader during his final term.
Prior to being elected to office, Richardville worked in the business community —with 20 years experience in Fortune 500 companies. He served as the Economic Development Director for the Port & City of Monroe before being elected to the Senate.
Tickets are available through Steve Vear at the Vear Accounting office for $30 in advance (517-439-5555) and $35 at the door.
Vear said the mission of the Hillsdale County Republican party is simple as stated on their Web site: "We exist to provide an avenue and opportunity for conservative, freedom loving citizens to involve themselves in the political process. Our goal is to recruit, promote and support those candidates who share a common vision for America, based on a conservative philosophy of governing and individual responsibility."
"It will be a chance to meet people whose names are well known," Vear said. "Talking with people of like agendas and getting together is always a good thing."

Rope Burns Through Lowering Sling, Climber Falls to Ground
When Cri Boratensky heard a "pop" as he lowered off the Rigid Designator, a classic Colorado ice climb, he assumed his rope had slipped over a small hump above, and thought nothing of it.
When Cri Boratensky heard a "pop" as he lowered off the Rigid Designator, a classic Colorado ice climb, he assumed his rope had slipped over a small hump above, and thought nothing of it.
When he felt the second pop, he thought the anchor, a tree on which slings had been wrapped, had pulled, and he looked up expecting to see it hurtling down the ice.
Instead he only saw his rope, coiling "like a cobra," falling through the air with him, over 70 feet to the ground.
It was March 21, in the ice amphitheatre above Vail, and Boratensky, 31, instantly assumed he would not survive.
Today he recalls experiencing "a vision" of his wife and year-old son off to his right side, like holograms. "They were still images and may have been recollections of actual photos," he writes in an e-mail, "but their background consisted of rock scrolling upward at a blurring pace. I said, 'I'm sorry,' to them in my mind." His friends say he never made a sound before hitting the ground.
His rope had been threaded through two pieces of webbing, and as he lowered, the friction burned through them.
Boratensky, who has been climbing since he was 15 doing ice routes in Valdez, Banff and Ouray, and peaks such Rainier, Shasta and Shuksan, realized his error in retrospect. After leading the pitch, he had threaded his rope through two loops of webbing on the tree "with the expectation that I would rap down, pull the rope through and my buddies would lead up as well." Upon reaching the ground, he found that his partners, Charlotte and Oscar Fors, wanted to toprope rather than lead as he had expected. "I never thought about the fact that I hadn't run the rope through biners."
As he puts it, "A momentary lapse of judgment is all it takes."
Both of his friends toproped the ice formation and lowered off. Boratensky then toproped it to finish the day.
He had been lowered about 15 or so feet when both slings failed. He sustained nine fractured vertebrae, a collapsed lung, a broken nose, facial lacerations, two broken ribs, a broken sternum, a dislocated hip and two dislocated shoulders. Fortuitously, he had no head trauma (he wore a helmet). Rescuers from the fire department arrived in 30 to 40 minutes, followed by the Vail Mountain Rescue team, and evacuated him.
Boratensky has generally recovered, though he will experience some lasting effects. He plans to attend the Ouray Ice Fest.
He expresses enormous appreciation for his life and luck. "I think every day how much worse the situation would have been had the anchors failed while one of my friends was climbing."
At its source, the accident was caused by the friction of rope against webbing, which will melt slings. Even the action of pulling a rope through slings once, as per the climber's original plan, weakens them for subsequent use. In this case, belaying and lowering three climbers cut the webbing.
Never run a climbing rope over slings. Ropes should only run over metal! Leave carabiners or quick links on the slings if necessary.
If you choose to rap through slings, replace old tat with new slings. While rappelling with the ropes directly through slings is common on mountain and alpine routes where you may not have enough gear to leave carabiners, do so with extreme caution.
For toprope anchors, always use redundant anchors, fresh slings and two opposed carabiners. In the same way that you check your partner's knot, habitually check on anchors, even ones arranged by someone you trust.

Gmail's engineers spent a lot time improving this feature, minimizing page loading time and making sure that the original message is preserved, but few people use it.
Now Google tries to bring this feature to everyone by opening a chat-like panel inside Gmail's interface when you compose a new message. It's a feature currently tested by Google that will be rolled out in the coming months.
"The new compose pops up in a window, just like chats (only larger). This makes it easy to reference any other emails without ever having to close your draft. You can even do a search or keep an eye on new mail as it comes in. And because the compose window works the same way as chats, you can write multiple messages at once and minimize a message to finish it later."
The new interface also brings a feature from Yahoo Mail: recipient boxes that can be removed or dragged and dropped to other fields ("to:", "cc:", "bcc:"). There's a new icon that shows text formatting features, an icon for attachments and a "+" icon for embedding photos, links, emoticons and Google Calendar events.
Google also improved the interface for replying, but it looks like you'll still reply inline by default. "The reply experience has been designed to fit better inline as part of your conversation - replies take up much less vertical height, intelligently expand to fit your content, and always keep the recipients and other controls in view no matter how long your message gets."
To try the new interface, open Gmail, click the "Compose" button and look for the "new compose experience" link right next to the "Labels" button. If you can't find it, you'll have to wait until it's added to your account. For now, you can switch to the old interface if you don't like the changes. Some features are not yet available in the new interface: inserting emoticons and event invitations, adding labels to outgoing messages, canned responses.
Google tried to streamline the "compose" window, so many advanced features will be more difficult to find. You'll have to click different icons to find text formatting options, add events or spell check your text. To send mail from another address, you'll have to "click into the 'To' field, then click the 'From' link to select which address you'd like to send mail from". Gmail is suddenly more difficult to use, but the interface looks better.
{ Thanks, Ben. }

systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit. For more information, watch the video at http://linuxconfau.blip.tv/file/4696791/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyMLi8QF6sw
Why systemd ?
systemd starts up and supervises the entire system and is based around the notion of units composed of a name and a type and matching a configuration file with the same name and type (e.g. a unit avahi.service has a configuration file with the same name and is a unit encapsulating the Avahi daemon). There are seven different types of units:
service: these are the most obvious kind of unit: daemons that can be started, stopped, restarted, reloaded.
socket: this unit encapsulates a socket in the file-system or on the Internet. systemd currently support AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_UNIX sockets of the types stream, datagram, and sequential packet. It can also support classic FIFOs as transport. Each socket unit has a matching service unit, that is started if the first connection comes in on the socket or FIFO (e.g. nscd.socket starts nscd.service on an incoming connection).
device: this unit encapsulates a device in the Linux device tree. If a device is marked for this via udev rules, it will be exposed as a device unit in systemd. Properties set with udev can be used as configuration source to set dependencies for device units.
mount: this unit encapsulates a mount point in the file system hierarchy.
automount: this unit type encapsulates an automount point in the file system hierarchy. Each automount unit has a matching mount unit, which is started (i.e. mounted) as soon as the automount directory is accessed.
target: this unit type is used for logical grouping of units: instead of actually doing anything by itself it simply references other units, which thereby can be controlled together. (e.g. multi-user.target, which is a target that basically plays the role of run-level 5 on classic SysV system; or bluetooth.target which is requested as soon as a bluetooth dongle becomes available and which simply pulls in bluetooth related services that otherwise would not need to be started: bluetoothd and obexd and suchlike).
snapshot: similar to target units snapshots do not actually do anything themselves and their only purpose is to reference other units.
systemd documentation
systemd has very comprehensive documentation. Refer to
systemd features
systemd provides the following:
- aggressive parallelization capabilities using socket: To speed up the entire boot and start more processes in parallel, systemd creates the listening sockets before actually starting the daemon, and then just passes the socket to it. All sockets for all daemons are created in one step in the init system, and then in a second step run all daemons at once. If a service needs another, and it is not fully started up, what will happen is that the connection is queued in the providing service and the client will potentially block on that single request. But only that one client will block and only on that one request. Also, dependencies between services no longer have to be configured to allow proper parallelized start-up: starting all sockets at once and a service needing another, it surely can connect to its socket.
- D-Bus activation for starting services: Using bus activation, a service can be started the first time it is accessed. Bus activation also gives the minimal per-request synchronisation needed for starting up the providers and the consumers of D-Bus services at the same time: starting a service at the same time as another, if one is quicker, than via the bus activation logic the D-Bus queues the request until the other manages to establish its service name.
- offers on-demand starting of daemons
- keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups: Every executed process gets its own cgroup and it is very easy to configure systemd to place services in cgroups that have been configured externally, for example via the libcgroups utilities.
- supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state: Snapshots can be used to save/rollback the state of all services and units of the init system. Primarily it has two intended use cases: to allow the user to temporarily enter a specific state such as "Emergency Shell", terminating current services, and provide an easy way to return to the state before, pulling up all services again that got temporarily pulled down.
- maintains mount and automount points: Systemd monitors all mount points how they come and go, and can also be used to mount or unmount mount-points. /etc/fstab can be used here as an additional configuration source for these mount points. Using the
comment=fstab option you can even mark
/etc/fstabentries to become systemd controlled automount points..
- implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic: Systemd supports several kinds of dependencies between services (or units), using After/Before, Requires and Wants options in the unit configuration files to fix the ordering how units are activated. Requires and Wants, express a positive requirement dependency, either mandatory, or optional. There is Conflicts which expresses a negative requirement dependency, and others less used. As a transactional control, if a unit is requested to start up or shut down, systemd will add it and all its dependencies to a temporary transaction, verifing if the transaction is consistent (or the ordering via After/Before of all units is cycle-free). If it is not, systemd will try to fix it up, and removes non-essential jobs from the transaction that might remove the loop.
- For each process spawned, it controls: The environment, resource limits, working and root directory, umask, OOM killer adjustment, nice level, IO class and priority, CPU policy and priority, CPU affinity, timer slack, user id, group id, supplementary group ids, readable/writable/inaccessible directories, shared/private/slave mount flags, capabilities/bounding set, secure bits, CPU scheduler reset of fork, private /tmp name-space, cgroup control for various subsystems. Also, you can easily connect
stdin/stdout/stderrof services to
/dev/kmsg, arbitrary TTYs. If connected to a TTY for input systemd will make sure a process gets exclusive access, optionally waiting or enforcing it.
- The native configuration files use a syntax that closely follows the well-known
.desktopfiles: It is a simple syntax for which parsers exist already in many software frameworks. Also, this allows to rely on existing tools for i18n for service descriptions, and similar, without for admins the need to learn a new syntax.
(... and more advanced)
- Compatibility with SysV init scripts: It takes advantages of LSB and Red Hat chkconfig headers if they are available, if not, it uses otherwise available information, such as the start priorities in /etc/rc.d. These init scripts are simply considered a different source of configuration, easing the upgrade path to proper systemd services.
- /etc/fstab configuration file: it just another source of configuration. Using the comment= fstab option it is possible to mark /etc/fstab entries to become systemd controlled automount points.
- Support a simple templating/instance mechanism: For example, instead of having six configuration files for six gettys, it has only one getty@.service file which gets instantiated to email@example.com and suchlike. The interface part can even be inherited by dependency expressions, i.e. it is easy to encode that a service firstname.lastname@example.com pulls in email@example.com, while leaving the eth0 string wild-carded.
- Compatibility, to a certain extent, with
/dev/initctl. This compatibility is in fact implemented with a FIFO-activated service, which simply translates these legacy requests to D-Bus requests. Effectively this means the old shutdown, poweroff and similar commands from Upstart and sysvinit continue to work with systemd.
- Compatibility with
wtmp(To an extent that is far more than healthy, given how crufty
wtmptoday are).
For all details view A short list of other features on the developer blog.
systemctl: used to introspect and control the state of the systemd system and service manager
systemd-cgls: recursively shows the contents of the selected Linux control group hierarchy in a tree
systemadm: a graphical frontend for the systemd system and service manager that allows introspection and control of systemd. Part of the systemd-gtk page. This is a early version and needs more work. Do not use it for now unless you are a developer.
View the man pages for more details.
Boot Kernel Command Line
On boot systemd activates (by default), the target unit default.target whose job is to activate services and other units by pulling them in via dependencies.
To override the unit to activate, systemd parses its own kernel command line arguments via the
systemd.unit= command line option. This may be used to temporarily boot into a different boot unit. The classical run-levels are replaced as following:
systemd.unit=rescue.target is a special target unit for setting up the base system and a rescue shell (similar to run level 1);
systemd.unit=emergency.target, is very similar to passing
init=/bin/sh but with the option to boot the full system from there;
systemd.unit=multi-user.target for setting up a non-graphical multi-user system;
systemd.unit=graphical.target for setting up a graphical login screen.
For details about these special systemd boot units, view the man
systemd.special page.
What is the status of systemd in Fedora?
Fedora 14 featured it is a technology preview. It is the default in Fedora 15 and has replaced Upstart.
Has all legacy System V init files been converted to systemd service files or equivalent?
Many of the core services (/lib/systemd/system has them and you can check status at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Johannbg/QA/Systemd/compatability) have been converted but not all of them yet. The transition is planned for Fedora 16. Details at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SysVtoSystemd. systemd is fully compatible with the legacy init scripts
What is the tool to manage services with systemd?
systemctl is the primary tool to use. It combines the functionality of both service and chkconfig into a single tool that you can use for instance to enable/disable services permanently or only for the current session.
list all running services etc:
Refer to man systemctl for more details. systemd-cgls lists the running process in a tree format. It can recursively show the content of any given control group. Refer to man systemd-cgls for more details.
How do I start/stop or enable/disable services?
Activates a service immediately:
systemctl start foo.service
Deactivates a service immediately:
systemctl stop foo.service
Restarts a service:
systemctl restart foo.service
Shows status of a service including whether it is running or not:
systemctl status foo.service
Enables a service to be started on bootup:
systemctl enable foo.service
Disables a service to not start during bootup:
systemctl disable foo.service
Check whether a service is already enabled or not:
systemctl is-enabled foo.service; echo $?
0 indicates that it is enabled. 1 indicates that it is disabled
Refer to man systemctl for more details.
How do I change the runlevel?
systemd has the concept of targets which is a more flexible replacement for runlevels in sysvinit.
Run level 3 is emulated by multi-user.target. Run level 5 is emulated by graphical.target. runlevel3.target is a symbolic link to multi-user.target and runlevel5.target is a symbolic link to graphical.target.
You can switch to 'runlevel 3' by running
systemctl isolate multi-user.target (or) systemctl isolate runlevel3.target
You can switch to 'runlevel 5' by running
systemctl isolate graphical.target (or) systemctl isolate runlevel5.target
How do I change the default runlevel?
systemd uses symlinks to point to the default runlevel. You have to delete the existing symlink first before creating a new one
rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target
Switch to runlevel 3 by default
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
Switch to runlevel 5 by default
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
systemd does not use /etc/inittab file.
How do I know the current run level?
runlevel command still works with systemd. You can continue using that however runlevels is a legacy concept in systemd and is emulated via 'targets' and multiple targets can be active at the same time. So the equivalent in systemd terms is
systemctl list-units --type=target
How to power off the machine ?
You can use
Some more possibilities are:
halt -p,
init 0,
shutdown -P now
Note that
halt used to work the same as
poweroff in previous Fedora releases, but systemd distinguishes between the two, so
halt without parameters now does exactly what it says - it merely stops the system without turning it off.
Does service command work with systemd?
Yes. It has been modified to call systemctl automatically when dealing with systemd service files. So either of the following commands does the same thing
service NetworkManager stop
systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
Does chkconfig command work with systemd?
Yes, for turning on/off services, compatibility has been provided both ways. chkconfig has been modified to call systemctl when dealing with systemd service files. Also systemctl automatically calls chkconfig when dealing with a traditional sysv init file.
So either of the following commands does the same thing
chkconfig NetworkManager off
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
chkconfig --list doesn't list systemd services, only Sys V services. The output of chkconfig takes note of this, along with supplying additional information.
Does system-config-services work with systemd?
The Fedora 15 version of system-config-services can cope with systemd service files. If you have problems, file a bug report.
How do I change the number of gettys running by default?
To add another getty:
Simply place another symlink for instantiating another getty in the getty.target.wants/ directory:
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /email@example.com systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start firstname.lastname@example.com
To remove a getty:
Simply remove the getty symlinks you want to get rid of in the getty.target.wants/ directory:
rm /email@example.com /firstname.lastname@example.com systemctl daemon-reload systemctl stop email@example.com email@example.com
systemd does not use /etc/inittab file.
How do I set automatic login on a virtual console terminal?
First create a new service similar to getty@.service:
# cp /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service \ /etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service # ln -s /etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service \ /email@example.com
then edit ExecStart, Restart and Alias values, like this:
... ExecStart=-/sbin/mingetty --autologin USERNAME %I Restart=no ... firstname.lastname@example.com
and finally reload daemon and start the service:
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start firstname.lastname@example.com
Note that if you exit tty8 session, you wont be able to use it until next reboot or manual start by systemctl, except if you leave Restart as 'always', but I highly recommend to avoid this according to security reasons.
How do I customize a unit file/ add a custom unit file?
The unit files in /etc/systemd/system have a higher precedence over unit files in /lib/systemd/system. Copy them from the latter to the former and customize it as per your requirements.
If a line starts with
.include followed by a file name, the specified file will be parsed at this point. Make sure that the file that is included has the appropiate section headers before any directives.
You should use
.include statement instead of copying the whole unit file from /lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system if possible. This will enable to update the unchanged directives correctly during future package updates.
Be careful when using
.include together with directives that can be defined multiple times (like
EnvironmentFile=), since we can only add new directives, but we can't remove already defined ones. We have to copy the whole file from /lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system in this case.
Let's say we use a lighttpd server and we want to lower its niceness value. All we need to do is to add
Nice=-5 to the lighttpd.service file. We can do this by either copying the whole file from /lib/systemd/system/lighttpd.service to /etc/systemd/system/lighttpd.service or creating the following file in /etc/systemd/system/lighttpd.service:
.include /lib/systemd/system/lighttpd.service [Service] Nice=-5
Don't forget to reload systemd daemon using
systemctl daemon-reload after editing a unit file.
How do I debug systemd issues?
Refer to How_to_debug_Systemd_problems
systemd has a built-in readahead implementation is not enabled on upgrades. It should improve bootup speed but your mileage may vary depending on your hardware. To enable it:
systemctl enable systemd-readahead-collect.service systemctl enable systemd-readahead-replay.service
Warnings on separate /usr partition
Refer to http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken and http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/README for details.

Kate Gosselin sues ex-husband
Former reality TV star Kate Gosselin filed a lawsuit Monday accusing her ex-husband of stealing her hard drive and hacking into her phone and computer to get material for a tell-all book.
Jon Gosselin accessed email, bank accounts and other private information for a book called "Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World," according to the federal lawsuit.
The 2012 book was written by Jon Gosselin's friend and business partner, tabloid writer Robert Hoffman, but pulled from the market after two days because the information had been illegally obtained, the lawsuit said.
"Jon violated a federal anti-hacking statute in order to publish salacious, scandalous and defamatory information about Kate," said her lawyer A. Jordan Rushie. "It's damaged her reputation."
The couple starred in the TLC show "Jon & Kate plus 8," detailing life with their twins and sextuplets, before they separated in 2009 and later divorced.
She, a former nurse who now runs a coupon website, lives in Sinking Spring. He worked in information technology and now lives in nearby Wyomissing. Both are outside Reading, northwest of Philadelphia.
The lawsuit accuses Jon Gosselin of identity theft, wiretapping and invasion of privacy and seeks unspecified damages. A lawyer who once represented Jon Gosselin did not immediately return a message. Hoffman is also named as a defendant. He did not immediately return an email message sent through his website.
Even beyond their acrimonious divorce, the Gosselins have been embroiled in a series of legal problems over the past few years.
— The state investigated whether the children's TV appearances violated child labor laws, amid concerns from her estranged brother.
— Jon Gosselin threated to seek primary custody of the children on grounds that his ex-wife's appearances on "Dancing With the Stars" made her an absentee mother, claims her lawyer called reckless.
— Jon Gosselin tangled with the TLC network over outside appearances that allegedly violated his contract for the family-friendly show.
— A Pennsylvania marriage therapist sued Kate Gosselin for the cost of flying to California in 2009 to work with the couple.
— Jon Gosselin's apartment in New York was ransacked by someone who slashed furniture, stole his TV and left a note pinned to his dresser with a butcher knife, according to his lawyer.
— In 2011, Kate Gosselin pleaded guilty to driving 88 mph in a 65 mph zone. She told police she was hurrying home to her children.

Jurors asked Jodi Arias if she would have come clean about killing Travis Alexander if she hadn't been caught lying. It wasn't until two years after she killed her ex-boyfriend in 2008 that she claimed self-defense. At that point, she had already changed her story more than once.
On day 30 of the trial, the judge continued to read questions from the jury about the evidence and sexual activities of the defendant. They also wanted her to answer why, after so many lies, they should believe her story of self-defense. CNN's Randi Kaye reports.
Filed under: Crime & Punishment • Jodi Arias
Jodie lives in a world of her own. She pushes herself on men, hoping someone will take care of her, and her only 24hrs a day.
This is the way I get how Jodi slaughtered Travis. While Travis is in the shower with his back to her which is 2 minutes before he was slaughtered, I think that is when Jodi started stabbing him, then obviously he turned around to defend himself, the defensive brutal wounds on his hands show that..............then he probably ran down the hall with Jodi in hot pursuit when she catches up with him, then slits his throat fromear to ear because after all the stabs Travis is certainly not in any position to fully defend himself......she then drags hi back to the bathroom blows a bullet into his head. Premeditation? absolutely. Then she put Travis in the shower hoping to clean all the blood up. That is my interpretation of the slaughter and I also believe that Jodi had intended to keep the murder scene in the bathroom and shower area so it would be easier for her to clean up the blood from the tile floor unlike a carpetted floor. But all her premeditation did play out the way she planned. RIP Travis.
Has anyone else thought that Jodi's latest stories sounded a lot like the story in 50 shades of Grey? The rope, the candy, the photo's. That book did not come out until after Travis's death.
Is Jodi is so ashamed she is willing to commit suicide, why is she working so hard in court to save her own skin. I would have thought she would relish the idea of a lethal injection.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Twenty years ago this month we went to Namibia on holiday, and one of the reasons we wanted to go was to learn more about Fred Green, Val's great great grandfather, who was a trader and elephant hunter there for about 25 years, from about 1850 until his death in 1876.
We've been scanning some old photos, including photos of that holiday trip, and so it seemed a good time to share them and some of the related family history, old and new. Val had been to Namibia a year before, about a week after it became independent, and spent some time in the archives looking up the history of the Green family, and meeting some relatives and other researchers, like Dag Henrichsen, from Switzerland, who was particularly interested in Fred Green's eldest daughter, Ada Maria Green, known as Kaera. Val also met a cousin, a descendant of Kaera, Mburumba Kerina, who is credited with the invention of the name Namibia.
In April 1991, however we all went, driving via Upington and the Augrabies Falls on Bright Monday, spending a night in Karasburg, and reaching Windhoek the next day. It was the first time I had been back to Namibia since being deported nearly twenty years before. It was interesting to see how things had changed in twenty years, and especially since independence. Some friends in Windhoek said that the biggest change had taken place overnight — the moment that the South African army withdrew to south of the border the whole country breathed a sign of relief and peace descended. There were several new buildings in Windhoek, which seemed somehow brighter and more cheerful.
We went north to stay ar Gross Barmen, and from there visited Okahandja, Omaruru and Otjimbingwe, places that Fred Green knew well 130 years before. You can read more about Fred Green's life and times here and here.
8-Apr-1991, Monday
Bright Monday. Leave for Namibia. Visit Kuruman, Aughrabies Falls, stay in Karasburg
Left for Namibia at 03:30, and travelled down the freeway to Muldersdrift, then through Tarlton and Ventersdorp. It began to get light then, and between Ventersdorp and Coligny for quite a long way there were road works and deviations. At Biesiesvlei Val took over driving, and we stopped for breakfast in Vryburg at a restaurant that served a "Kalahari breakfast" of eggs, wors, bacon and chips. We reached Kuruman at about 11:00 and had a look at the eye, and the fish in the pool next to it, and filled up with petrol.
We reached Upington about 14:00, and bought Kentucky fried chicken for lunch, then drove on to Keimoes where we filled up with petrol, and reached the Aughrabies falls at 15:00, and spent about an hour there wandering around and looking at the falls from various viewpoints. Simon found a colony of dassies. We drove west across a flat plain, and contemplated going to Pofadder and possibly sleeping there. I'd always wanted to see Pofadder, because of the name, and it seemed the most isolated place in South Africa, but the scenery looked boring, and so we decided rather to go to Karasburg via Onseepkans, and it was a scenic drive down to the Orange river with the sun beginning to go down, social weaver nests on the telephone poles, and groves of kokerbome on the hills, and one next to the road that we stopped to photograph.
At the border there was a square army tent with a black guy and a white guy in camouflage uniform, looking bored. They stamped our passports, and we crossed the river. It was quite wide there, flowing slowly through pools and reeds – nothing like the roaring rush of water through the gorge upstream at Aughrabies. On the Namibian side there was an identical tent, but the immigration/police officers smartly dressed in navy blue trousers and white shirts. One was reading an English novel with the help of a dictionary – with the official language being English now, a lot of people will have to learn it.
We drove into the setting sun towards Karasburg, and arrived there at 19:00. We asked for a room at the Kalkfontein Hotel, and they guy there offered us his "five-star" room, with six beds, and air-conditioner and a bathroom and shower for the all-in price of R175-00 – not bad for these days. We went straight to dinner – mutton stew and vegetables – and then straight to bed. It had been a long day of driving.
9-Apr-1991, Tuesday
Karasburg to Windhoek. Supper with Enid Ellis
We woke up about 06:50, and had breakfast at the hotel – similar to what we had had yesterday, wors, eggs, bacon and chips. They had stickers from UNTAG and the Australian Army, relics of the transitional period last year. The atmosphere seemed relaxed and friendly. in marked contrast to what it had been when I left nearly twenty years ago. We left just after 08:00, and drove to Grunau, where we stopped for petrol at the Shell garage just north of the village. There was a shop in the garage with an amazing range of merchandise on sale, and a sign on the door that said "Come in" in English, Afrikaans and Kwanyama – the last seemed rather strange this far south. We bought a map and some postcards, and on the way to Keetmanshoop I wrote postcards to Joy Bidgood, Marios and Kia Prelorenzo. We took photos of the Karasberge – I had been through them many times, mainly at sunrise or sunset, but had never really taken pictures of them, and they were always to me the real sign of entering or leaving Namibia, even though they are about 200 km from the border.
At Keetmanshoop we bought a lot of stamps. Some cars had new number plates, with an N, followed by the number, and then a K, instead of the old SK ones. Others had green numberplates with GRN on, which I assumed stood for "Government of the Republic of Namibia" in place of the old A…G numbers. As we went north from there Val and the children stuck stamps on to the "Blue Press" that we were sending out. There was one section where they were working on the road, and we had about 15 km of gravel detour, with great clouds of dust. There were many heavy trucks on the road – far more than I remember from twenty years ago. Mukurob, the finger rock, which used to be visible from the road, was also gone – it had fallen down a couple of years ago.
We stopped at Mariental for hamburgers – real ones this time. There were many more cafes and shops selling food. Last time I had stopped at a cafe the menu had "Rice – or something else" and a "hamburger" consisted of very greasy mince on toast. Now they had some quite good ones. We posted some of the Blue Presses, and pushed on to Windhoek. Rehoboth, too, seemed much developed. There were street lights on the main road, and many more prosperous-looking houses. We reached the Auas mountains about 15:30, and stopped to look over Windhoek and take some photos, and when we started again the car battery light came on. We called at a garage at the bottom of the hill, and found that it was just that the ignition lock had been in the wrong position.
We drove into town, getting lost because of the new bypass roads a couple of times, and went to the post office, and posted the Blue Press for people within Namibia. We then went to Klein Windhoek, past 41 Klein Windhoek Road, where I had lived 20 years ago, and called on Val's cousin Enid Ellis, and stayed for supper with them. Enid's husband Justin was away at a conference. We saw their son Hugh, now aged 12, for the first time since he was three months old, and their daughter Bronwen, aged 7, for the first time ever. Bronwen was embarrassed because she had been to the beach at Swakopmund, and had been bitten by sandfleas, and was all over itchy bites.
I phoned Dave de Beer, who was staying at the Safari motel, and had said he would be here accompanying a group of European parliamentarians on a tour of Namibia. He wasn't available, but I left a message for him to phone me back, and soon afterwards he did. He said we should go to see him about lunch time tomorrow at the hotel, as, though he would later be going to Johannesburg, we thought it
would be good to meet again on Namibian soil. Enid said that locally people spoke of the GRN number plate vehicles as standing for "Go Round Namibia".After supper we drove to the Daan Viljoen Park on the Khomas Hochland road, and slept in a couple of huts there.
10-Apr-1991, Wednesday
Spend morning in Windhoek archives, lunch with Dave de Beer. Enid Ellis & her children come to have a braai with us at Daan Viljoen Park
We went in to Windhoek in the morning, and parked in a parking ground opposite the Zoo Gardens, and went in to Wecke and Voigts, where I had bought a hat once. I looked for another hat like the one I had lost in Swaziland, but they only had JB Stetson Texan-style hats that would have been OK if it hadn't been for the TV character J.R. Ewing. But in a shop next door they had some nice hats. A little further down the road there was a new pedestrian mall that went over Stuebelstrasse, and was very pleasant. We stopped at a kiosk there for some ham and salami brotchens for breakfast, and a guy came up and said he was hungry, and we gave him some money and he promptly bought chips and all the most bulky things he could get. We left the children looking at shops for stickers and T shirts and things, and went to the archives, where we saw Brigitte Lau, and told her about our project for transcribing Ada Leinhos's case against the South West Africa Company. She said we had given so much stuff to the archives that she would give us a free copy of the German war map, which showed Frederick Vincent Green's birthplace of Ehangero, on the Omuramba Wamatako, about 20km west of the present Okahandja-Otjiwarongo road. We looked up a few other things, and photocopied some missing pages from the court case.
Then we went to the Safari Motel to wait for Dave de Beer, whose conference was finishing. We had lunch at the Safari Motel with Dave, who told us something of what he had been doing. He had visited Gobabis with his parliamentarians, and they had stayed at the hotel there, and seen the jail. They had also visited Epukiro, where chief Munyuku was cooperating with the establishment of community farms. Dave said they were particularly concerned about health services, and that the nurses said that there was a lot of high blood pressure among Hereros, presumably because of all the milk and meat they eat. He said that in Ovamboland the traditional healers were cooperating with the health services, but when he asked about it in Hereroland, people were very cagey, though he had no idea why that should be so. He also said that Mburumba Kerina had been kicked out of parliament – I hadn't known that he was in, but apparently he had represented a small coalition of his own group and the Rehoboth Basters, and Sam Nujoma had taken him and some of the other original petitioners to the United Nations along with him when he went there to apply for membership of the UN, even though they were now political rivals. This had led to Mburumba Kerina and Sam Nujoma being reconciled, and Mburumba joined SWAPO, so his original group obviously no longer wanted him as their representative. He said Assaria Kamburona was very active politically in the DTA, and that political differences had split the Oruuano Church, though he didn't seem to have much evidence for that. Hiskia Uanivi is still, apparently, active in his Communist Party. While we were talking, Zephania Kameeta walked by, and said we could see him tomorrow at the Lutheran Church offices, where he is staying in a guest room.
We took Dave to the Anglican cathedral, and looked for Roger Key in the deanery, but he was out, so Val took some pictures of us together up by the bell, and we took some photos of the whole family there. We went down to the diocesan office, now in Fr Willie van der Sijde's old house, and spoke to the diocesan secretary, who said that the diocese was chronically short of money and didn't have enough to pay clergy stipends – though it was in the pockets of the people. It reminded me of the day I arrived [in 1969], when Dave himself was diocesan secretary, and he had R95.00 in the account and had to pay stipends the following week. We gave a calendar to Dinah Handura's daughter, who worked in the office. Dinah had cleaned our house in Klein Windhoek.
Then we took Dave to the centre of town, and went to the OK Bazaars (another innovation since I was last here) and bought some ingredients for a braai tonight, and went back to the Daan Viljoen Park to prepare it. Enid, Hugh and Bronwen joined us about 16:30, and after walking around the dam we had a braai – except for Bronwen, who is vegetarian, and we chatted about old times, and caught up on the news of what we had been doing since we had last met 12 years ago, when we were in Melmoth and Enid was about to leave for England. The children all played soccer, and seemed to get on well together.
11-Apr-1991, Thursday
Visit Zephania Kameeta, stay at Gross Barmen
We drove around the Daan Viljoen Park before leaving, and saw several animals – jackals, tsessebe, kudus and wildebeest. We again went to town and had brotchens for breakfast, then went to see Zephania Kameeta. He said he and his wife had bought a house in Mariental, as she originally came from there, and houses were much cheaper. Their white neighbours were very right-wing, and it was a new experience for them to have blacks living next door. Zephania said that cabinet ministers were civil servants, and so got housing allowances, but on an MP's salary he could not afford a house in Windhoek. We remarked on the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere in the place, and he said that it had originally seemed strange to think that they could cooperate with some of the right-wing political groups like ACN, but that when they did so, things seemed to work well. Zephania said he had done research into his own family history from the church registers in Otjimbingwe, where he himself had been born, and said we should go there and ask the Pastor, Pastor Mujoro, if we could look at the early registers, which should still be there.
We left Windhoek then, and drove around Katutura for a while, and stopped to take photos of the graffiti on the Ovambo compound, which were colourful, and wondered what the compound was used for now. There was a new four-lane highway as far as Brakwater. At Okahandja we drove around for a while looking for Maharero's grave – it was far more hidden away than I remembered it, and then went on to the resort at Gross Barmen, where we stayed in a marvellous flat, complete with air conditioning, chairs and tables, and we relaxed for the rest of the afternoon and in the evening went swimming before having dinner at the restaurant, and we chatted to the waiter who was Kwanyama, and knew Nehemiah Hamupembe and some of the Anglican clergy at Odibo.
12-Apr-1991, Friday
Visit Omaruru, drive round Erongo mountains to Otjimbingue
We were up early, and drove along the back road to Wilhelmstal, where I had gone when I worked for the department of water affairs. We saw lots of game – jackals, kudu and gemsbok – all along the road. We then went to Omaruru, which was much more green and pleasant than I remembered it. We stopped at a small cafe for breakfast – again our ham and salami brotchens – and handed out St Nicholas Calendars to everyone we met. We went to the municipal offices where there was a sign advertising tourist information, and spoke to a Mr Bester, a former policeman who had come here from South Africa in 1964, and stayed on when he left the police force. He told us about some of the tourist attractions in the area, and we bought a couple of booklets as well. He showed us some maps, and some reports of a geological survey done by people from Rhodes University a few years ago – they said that the nearby Erongo mountains were the largest volcanic formation in the Southern hemisphere.
We drove through the Erongo mountains, wishing we had more time to spend here and explore. I remembered one, in particular, that looked like an enormous lizard, and when I passed in when working at the Department of Water Affairs it had seemed as though this was the end of the world. Knowing the country beyond it, it now seemed much more tame. We drove south past the western edge of the mountains, stopping to take photos of the Erongo and Spitsberg. I had once travelled along this road when the sun was setting over the Spitsberg and the moon rising over the Erongo, and it had been spectacularly beautiful. But even in the middle of the day there was a grandeur to it. We stopped for cold drinks at Usakos, but most of the shops were shut for the afternoon siesta. We went on to Karibib, where I wanted to take pictures of the old hotel, but it had vanished, and someone said it had been demolished 16 years ago, which was sad, because it had been the most interesting building in the town.
We went down to Otjimbingue, and looked for pastor Mujoro, and found there were two pastors – a husband and wife, but the wife was out at the church council, and the husband was asleep and apparently not to be disturbed, so we did not get to see the church registers, but took photos of the powder tower, allegedly built by Fred Green in the 1870s. As we were leaving Otjimbingue, the exhaust pipe fell off, but we were able to tie it up with a bit of wire, and got back to Gross Barmen roaring like a ferry.
13-Apr-1991, Saturday
Gross Barmen to Ai Ais. See Roger Key, but not Mburumba Kerina
My 50th birthday. We packed up at Gross Barmen, and drove in to Windhoek, went straight to a garage called Auto-Fit, where they repaired the exhaust pipe, and then once again parked at the Zoo Gardens parking ground, and got brotchens from Wecke and Voigts for breakfast, and then went round to Kerina's office in Kenya House in Leutweinstrasse (he'd said the street name had been changed to Mugabe Avenue, but all the old signs were still up) – it took us some time to find it. He had said it was the former Grand Hotel, but only when we got there did my memory of it come back – I'd met some journalists there from the Argus Africa News Service once. But Kerina was not in. A guy at the reception counter was rather cynical – Kerina had said he would meet us at 09:30, and the guy said that meant he wouldn't be in before 10:00.
We went to see Roger and Shaunie Key at the Anglican Deanery, and chatted to them for a while, and Roger got me to sign the Cathedral visitor's books. He said he'd been very surprised to receive the Blue Press we had sent him [it was Roger who told us how peace descended on the country when the South African army left]. We made another attempt to see Kerina, but he was still not there, so we left Windhoek, driving south to Ai Ais. We turned off the main road at Kalkrand, and went towards Maltahohe, reaching it at about 14:00, and filled up with petrol there. The town seemed absolutely dead. We drove on to Helmeringhausen across the flat and dusty plain, with the iron-red plateau range on the left. Helmeringhausen too was dead on a Saturday afternoon, a little hamlet with stone houses that looked as if it hadn't changed for 80 years.
We drove on to Bethanien, and took some photos on the way, and stopped at Bethanien for petrol, and then drove on to Ai Ais as the sun was setting, seeing the Karasberge from the west this time, looking very different. It was dark by the time we got to Ai Ais, and we only just made it to the restaurant before they closed.
14-Apr-1991, Sunday
Ai Ais to Olifantshoek
After breakfast we walked around for a while, looking at the Fish River canyon, and bought a few things at the shop, and then drove back north along the road we had come down in the dark last night, and went to the view point on the Fish River Canyon and took photos from there. We then drove to Grunau, and bought hamburgers and wors rolls for lunch. We debated going south via Vioolsdrift, Springbok and Pofadder, but decided that it was too late for that, and took the direct route through Karasburg and Ariamsvlei.
We passed the Namibian border control post just past Ariamsvlei, quite a way before the actual border. Though it was a prefab building it looked quite smart, with the flag flying, and immigration officers who were polite and efficient. About twenty km on we came to the South African "monitoring post" – a khaki tent, no flag, and an enormous Casspir armoured car parked outside. There were three scruffy looking characters in camouflage uniform sitting at a folding table covered with cold drink cans – one to write down the information in the passports, the second to stamp the passports, and the third to read the picture story book. It could hardly have been a greater contrast.
I'd bought a copy of the Sunday newspaper "Rapport" in Grunau, and we were back to the reports of violence. Virtually nothing was said about any news in Namibia at all. We filled up with petrol in Upington, and set off for Kuruman as quickly as possible, as the car lights weren't working properly, but by sunset we had only reached Olifantshoek, so we booked in at the hotel there. It was very pleasant. We had a good supper, and it was cheaper than Karasburg. We celebrated with a bottle of 5th Avenue Cold Duck, and when we popped the cork it hit the ceiling and squashed a mosquito there.
15-Apr-1991, Monday
Returned home – someone had broken into the house
We left Olifantshoek after breakfast, and drove through Kuruman, Vryburg (where we stopped to get a couple of new tyres),
Biesiesvlei and Ventersdorp. We got home about 16:30, and there was a policeman there guarding the house. someone had broken in sometime, and broken seven window panes, but they appeared to have been disturbed, as apparently everything they had taken was at the police station. Marios came round, and said he thought the break-in was last night, as he had come to check the place and found all the lights on.
End of diary extracts
Much of the country we passed through on this trip would have been familiar to Fred Green, his wife Catherine Stewardson (who was born at Rooibank, near Walvis Bay) and their older children — Mary, who was born in Ovamboland, and Fred junior (Val's great grandfather) who was born somewhere east of Omaruru.The graves of the Herero heroes took on a new significance when we discovered that Fred Green and Samuel Maharero had been firends (though they had also fought), and Samuel Maharero made a grant of land to Fred Green's daughter Ada when the Germans were beginning to colonise the country. The Germans tried to give her land to a commercial company, but she took them on in court, and won. When the South Africans invaded in 1915, she had to fight the battle all over again, and won a second time, and she then lost it all when she stood surety for her no-good son-in-law.
When we started our family history research in 1974 we didn't have a clue about the Namibian (or Canadian) connections of the Green family, and we only learnt them when we made contact with Val's great aunt Gladys Clark, so this trip enabled us to look at things with new eyes.

In this installment of Hack Library's School's Emerging Career Series, Caro Pinto explores the role of librarian as project manager. Caro Pinto is the Social Science & Emerging Technologies Librarian at Hampshire College where she oversees collection development, outreach, and instruction for the School of Critical Social Inquiry, works on Digital Humanities projects at Hampshire and in the Five Colleges, and explores the technology landscape to find sustainable solutions for higher education. You can find Caro on Twitter and on her blog.
Librarians are helpful advocates in the research process. We aid our users in the location, retrieval, and evaluation of sources. However, as libraries implement more effective discovery layers and users come away with tens of thousands of results in mere seconds, our role has necessarily begun to shift from information retriever to information evaluator, arbiter, and now manager. We collaborate more closely with our users in the research process, helping to prepare data into management plans as part of grant requirements for the NSF and the NEH. Increasingly, we are librarians, but we are also project managers.
Is this an entirely new direction for librarians?
Yes and no. Behind the scenes there are many librarians involved in the management of library resources, collection management, and the oversight of digitization projects. But our users and our library school curriculums do not associate librarians with project management on projects of large scale conducted in collaboration with faculty and students in higher education settings. Increasingly, this is an emergent role for librarians in both digital humanities work and in large scale research projects in the social sciences and sciences.
What does this look like?
"I'd really like for the students to make a fabulous online exhibit," exclaimed one of faculty members, "Can you help me make that happen?" As with research projects, many faculty members recognize that librarians have strengths in information organization and collection curation such that we should collaborate with them to push our students towards successful learning experiences and projects.
Faculty and students are beginning to leverage our training in a number of ways. When faculty and students want to create online exhibits using tools like Omeka, librarians guide the production through tutorials on metadata standards and principles of information organization. When working on large scale quantitative projects, librarians at universities like Columbia offer Digital Social Science labs with specialized equipment and expertise to interpret and deploy data. Librarians at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and Mount Holyoke College help faculty develop sustainable and strategic data management plans, plans increasingly mandated by granting agencies like the National Science Foundation. They act as liaisons between campus compliance offices, grants and contracts representatives, and the faculty themselves, shepherding projects for immediate and long term success. After all, researchers in the social sciences and the sciences must keep their data so future parties can replicate it as necessary to continue the research process. Librarians are uniquely qualified to curate and preserve that data for its lifecycle.
But beyond compliance and logistics for various campus entities, librarians-cum-project managers offer a unique perspective because of role as neutral arbiters, research rabbis and priests, or therapists ready to talk through what's working, what isn't. Librarians are interdisciplinary; we work across disciplines and are able to cross boundaries to facilitate work and projects across schools, departments, and traditional disciplines. The benefits of neutrality can come from simple activities like introducing two liked minded faculty members to have a conversation about their work, or by pointing students towards faculty whose work intersects with their own in unexpected ways. Librarians manage projects and information, but they can also broker and manage relationships, too.
Practically speaking, where is this going?
One trend to pay attention to is the implementation of digital humanities within libraries. MITH and the Digital Scholarship Commons at Emory University are prime examples of how libraries' neutrality represents a unique opportunity to create innovative new scholarship centers to facilitate horizontal work in the humanities and social sciences. More and more jobs are popping up at centers like this, with titles like digital humanities librarian, GIS librarian and data services librarian. These positions combine traditional skills like research support and teaching with new twists like data curation and new media production. Among other things, the positions shepherd work into final forms with rights management and open access publication taken into account.
These new positions and trends push our profession into new places, but also retain elements of traditional librarianship. I hope library school students will take note and look for pre-professional opportunities to get involved in digital humanities projects, digitization projects, and other hands-on opportunities learn about copyright, open access scholarship and new trends in scholarly communication such as 'the library as publisher.' Push yourself to publish in open access journals as a student, learn about linked open data, see how you can exercise management muscles on projects large and small. These experiences will pay off in job searches, but perhaps more importantly, will push our profession in new and exciting directions.

The following recent blog posts are those that I consider important or notable. Unlike other similar blog lists, I cannot guarantee that they will all be from the past week. (Some weeks I simply do not have time to read any blogs.) But I will try to write this on a fairly regular basis.
Harold Henderson, "Why We Don't Write," Midwestern Microhistory blog, posted 6 May 2012 (http://midwesternmicrohistory.blogspot.com/ : accessed 6 May 2012). This is the best blog post I have read in some time. I have written quite often about the need to form written conclusions in our research, but here Harold describes why so few genealogists appear to do so–or at least why they don't submit this research to the local society newsletters and journals that are starving for content.
Jill K. Morelli, "Do you ever go back and re-read reference books?," Genealogy Certification: My Personal Journal blog, posted 15 April 2012 (http://genealogycertification.wordpress.com : accessed 15 April 2012). Jill discusses her recent re-reading of Professional Genealogy, edited by Elizabeth Shown Mills. Now further along in her genealogical career than the first time she read it, Jill notes how her perception of various parts of the book has changed.
Chris Staats, "Fixing Your Genealogy Jalopy: A Metaphor," Staats Genealogical Services blog, posted 29 April 2012 (http://www.staatsofohio.com : accessed 30 April 2012). Chris uses the metaphor of car repair to illustrate genealogy education vs. experience.
Thomas W. Jones, "Dr. Thomas W. Jones on Research, Teaching, and SLIG," Utah Genealogical Association blog, posted 1 May 2012 (http://ugagenealogy.blogspot.com/ : accessed 3 May 2012). Dr. Jones discusses some of his "favorie" ancestors, and how he uses them in his teaching.
Lorine McGinnis Schulze, "Assumptions vs Working Theories – The Good and the Bad," Olive Tree Genealogy blog, posted 28 April 2012 (http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/ : accessed 3 May 2012). Ms. Schulze uses one of the most common assumptions in genealogy to express why we cannot assume anything, instead looking for evidence to form conclusions.
Ed Payne, "Unionist Naming of Mississippi Children–Revisited," in Victoria Bynum's Renegade South blog, posted 21 March 2012 (http://renegadesouth.wordpress.com : accessed 15 April 2012). This is a very interesting study of the naming of children in Mississippi during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods–and what these patterns might say about Union sympathies in the Deep South. Very interesting for anyone researching in the South during this era, and anyone interested in the Civil War.
Jeff Hurt, "Small Groups Of Friends Are The Key To Influence Not Swaying Influential People," Velvet Chainsaw's Midcourse Corrections blog, posted 20 March 2012 (http://jeffhurtblog.com : accessed 15 April 2012). This article's intended audience are marketers and those involved in education, discussing one aspect of social networks (the real-life ones, not the online ones like Facebook).

Anderson Cooper gives kudos to a woman who used Craigslist to track down the suspected thief who stole her bike.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: The RidicuList
Glad to hear the woman got her bike back. I don't, though, understand why someone can't save up their money to buy their own bike (or other item they really want). Why do you have to steal from someone that did save up their money to buy something they really wanted?
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Since this is National Blog Posting Month, I thought it might be a good time to discuss managing a blog.
As a full-time professional genealogist, time for my blog is often limited. I do not always have the ability to write every day. Occasionally I do have a great idea, or an issue arises, that I simply feel compelled to write, right at that moment.
More often, though, I find myself without the time to write. Or worse, I have an hour or so to write, but my mind draws a blank. What should I write about?
This month, I have challenged myself to post a new article every day. To three separate blogs. That comes to 90 articles that I will have to write and post over the next 30 days. I tried this in 2009 with one column, and managed to post about 2/3 of the required 30 articles. I tried again in 2010 with two columns, and only managed to post about 1/2 of the required 60 articles. So what makes me think I will succeed this year, with 90 articles needed?
This year, I am managing my blogs a little better. For me, the most difficult part of managing a blog is coming up with fresh and interesting content every day. Here are a few ideas that might help you:
1. Brainstorm post ideas. In an earlier post I mentioned one of my favorite blogs, Litemind. One of the posts on this site describes the "List of 100" brainstorming method. I have done this quite a few times, for numerous brainstorming sessions: potential articles, potential books, potential lectures, etc. Generally speaking, in a list of 100 you will find a bunch of ho-hum ideas, a bunch of repeats, a few ridiculous ideas, and several gems. By creating such a long list, you force your brain to move outside the box–past the everyday, ho-hum ideas; past the just plain silly; and into the best ideas. You may find only 15 great ideas in that list of 100. With 90 articles needed, I will probably have to post a few ho-hum ideas, but hopefully there will be some great ones too!
2. Read other blogs. What are other bloggers talking about? Many of my blog ideas start as responses, or "my perspective," on things that other bloggers have said. Sometimes it is a response to a blog post as a whole–sometimes it's just a single sentence that inspires an entire post. Sometimes just the act of reading gets your creative juices flowing enough that you come up with an idea of your own. If you want to see the best genealogy blogs, I would recommend Randy Seaver's weekly "Best of the Genea-Blogs" posts, posted every Sunday on his Genea-Musings blog. Randy reads a lot of blogs, and manages to find the best of the best every week. Read these, and you will be forced to kick it up a notch.
3. Keep a list of blog ideas. Many of the best ideas come when you are busy with something else. For example, I often come up with an idea for a blog post while I am working on a client report. There is simply no way that I should stop what I am doing to write that blog post at that time. I could wait–and risk forgetting about the idea before I do find the time to write it. Or I could keep a list of ideas, so that when I have time to write, all I have to do is look at my list, pick a topic, and write. I keep two lists: one on paper for those times when I am not near a computer, the other as a text file on my desktop. That list is definitely going to come in handy this month.
4. Create a blog calendar. Once you have a list of ideas–from brainstorming, reading other blogs, and recording ideas when they come to you–you should schedule out your posts in advance. Since I am scheduling ideas for three separate blogs/columns, I created a table with four columns. The first column is for the days, 1 through 30. Each one of the other three columns is for one of my blogs. Then I just write the topics for each day into the calendar.
5. Participate in a few memes (but not all of them). There are several blogging memes available every day for genealogy bloggers. If you wanted to, you could easily post every day just by following a different meme every day. I wouldn't recommend it, though. Before I ever started writing a blog, I was a blog reader. Memes lose their attraction pretty quickly. If you are not providing good, quality content every day, you may lose some readers. And if you don't have any readers, is there really any reason to write? Instead, pick one or two of your favorite memes, but no more than one or two days a week. Personally, I love "Follow Friday" and "A Friend of Friends Friday." Both of these are on Friday, so I have to alternate or use different blogs to participate. In my blog calendar, I can mark off every Friday to participate in one (or both) of these memes. This saves a little time in trying to come up with a unique topic for these days. But it still leaves me with six days of content that is not attached to a meme.
And here's a bonus tip:
6. Write your posts in advance. Some blogging platforms, like WordPress, allow you to draft your posts in advance and schedule them for publication later. Take advantage of this when you have time to write. Instead of just writing one post and publishing it immediately, write two or three (or however many you have time to write), and schedule them for later publication.
Do you have any other ideas for managing multiple blogs?

PITTSBURGH, PA.—John Pinette, the chubby stand-up comedian who portrayed a hapless carjacking victim in the final episode of Seinfeld, has died. He was 50.
Pinette died of natural causes Saturday at a hotel in Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said Sunday evening. Pinette's agent confirmed his death.
The portly Pinette was a self-deprecating presence on stage, frequently discussing his weight on stand-up specials Show Me the Buffet, I'm Starvin'! and Still Hungry.
Pinette had been working on another stand-up project when he died, his agent, Nick Nuciforo, said.
"He should be celebrated for the amazing comedian he was," Nuciforo said.
The Boston native appeared in movies including The Punisher and had a trio of stand-up shows released on DVD but was perhaps best known as the portly carjacking victim whose plight lands the Seinfeld stars before a judge for failing to help under a "good Samaritan" law. Pinette also appeared in the television series Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
Pinette also appeared on state in a national tour of Hairspray as Edna Turnblad, the mother of the play's heroine.
The medical examiner's office said no autopsy was performed and Pinette's own physician signed off on the cause of death.
Pinette had been preparing for a stand-up tour of the U.S. and Canada, Nuciforo said.

Today's News: Our Take - Jason Dohring Officially Signs on to Veronica Mars Movie
Former Veronica Mars cast member Jason Dohring will officially reprise his role as Logan Echolls, series creator Rob Thomas announced Tuesday.
"We now have three actors officially cast. Veronica. Logan and the waiter who says, 'Your check, sir,'" Thomas wrote in a news alert sent through Kickstarter to supporters who donated money to help fund the movie (one of the big-ticket donors will play that waiter). Last month, the long-rumored film officially took shape when Thomas and series star Kristen Bell launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the beloved, but underrated teen sleuth series.
Veronica Mars' Logan Echolls and more TV boyfriends who ruin your real-life relationships
The Kickstarter fund met its $2 million goal in less than 12 hours and has since raised more than $4.4 million. "My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica's 10-year high school reunion," Thomas wrote on the Kickstarter page.
Dohring, 31, played Neptune High's "obligatory psychotic jacka--" Logan, whose on-and-off girlfriend Lilly Kane died in Season 1. The son of an A-list actor, Logan evolved over the series run from Veronica's nemesis to her later love interest. Their relationship was left unresolved when the show was axed after three seasons.
Dohring most recently co-starred on the short-lived Ringer and guest-starred on Supernatural.
What other Veronica Mars actors do you want to return for the movie?

It is Follow Friday! This is a blogging meme in which authors recommend other blogs, websites, repositories, or anything else. In keeping with the theme of this blog, I will spotlight different resources for professional and aspiring professional genealogists each week: not only genealogy-related, but also others of interest.
This week I would like to spotlight the blog of David Airey, graphic designer. I have enjoyed this blog for a few years now.
David Airey is a graphic designer, and the author of the book, Logo Design Love: A Guide to Creating Iconic Brand Identities. His blog reflects his interest in design in all its forms, but also the intersection of design and business branding.
In his blog, David often shares interesting designs — not only logos, but also product packaging and the work of other graphic designers and artists. David's philosophy can be summed up in a Gerard Huerta quote from a recent blog entry: "When you are stuck, walk away from the computer and draw. It will teach you how to see." [SOURCE: David Airey, "On Creative Block," David Airey blog, posted 28 July 2011 (http://www.davidairey.com/ : accessed 4 Aug 2011).]
This artistic sensibility informs David's blog. His posts, complete with photos, are often among the most beautiful that I have read in any genre.
In other words, if you are at all interested in design or branding yourself as a professional or a corporate entity (no matter how large or small), I would recommend that you follow David Airey, graphic designer.

A meek and virginal 40-year-old governess stumbles into a glamorous 1930s world of cocktails and evening gowns
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. By Winifred Watson. Illustrations by Mary Thomson. Foreword by Henrietta Twycross-Martin. Persephone Classics, 234 pp., $15, paperback.
By Janice Harayda
This sparkling comedy is something rare: an intelligent fairy tale. Henrietta Twycross-Martin rightly compares it to a Fred Astaire movie. But Guinevere Pettigrew hardly resembles the heroines of those films. She's no gamine Audrey Hepburn, seduced by Astaire's sophistication, in Funny Face: She's a virginal 40-year-old curate's daughter, without family or friends, who gets so little work as a governess that she is facing eviction for nonpayment of rent.
Then her employment agency sends her, mistakenly, to the home of a nightclub singer instead of family of untamed children. Over the next 24 hours her life changes in ways that are near-magical yet believable.
Winifred Watson describes the upheavals on an hour-by-hour basis that invests her novel with a voyeuristic allure-by-proxy: Reading Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is like reading a diary kept not by its owner by an amused and lighthearted observer. That structure works partly Guinevere's character remains solidly drawn through all the changes: She is meek but open-hearted, susceptible to change but not a fool, and free of self-pity yet touchingly grateful for her good fortune.
Like all good fairy-tale heroines, Guinevere can think on her feet. She is hardly knows what to say when she arrives at the home of singer Delysia LaFosse and finds her wearing "the kind of foamy robe, no mere dressing gown, worn by the most famous of stars in seduction scenes in the films." Yet she finds the right words, telling Miss LaFosse shyly: "You look so lovely in that … that article of clothing."
Dazzled as she is, Guinevere helps her new acquaintance sort through romantic entanglements that have elements of a classic bedroom farce. Miss LaFosse repays her by showing her a world of cocktails, evening gowns and men who never knew her as a failed governess. Miss Pettigrew, though sheltered and naïve, never comes across as vapid or ridiculous. Without being stuffy, she has self-respect.
All of this alone might set this novel apart from much of the more recent fiction aimed at women. But Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day also has sparkling repartee, bright scenes of London nightlife, and whimsical pen-and-ink drawings retained from the first edition. In 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, Meg Jensen writes aptly that this novel reminds us that "it is never too late to live." It doesn't hurt that this book lacks a stereotypical pink cover, either.
Best line: "Terrified, aghast, thrilled, Miss Pettigrew stared at the innocent-looking white powder. Drugs, the White Slave trade, wicked dives of iniquity, typified in Miss Pettigrew's mind by red plush and gilt and men with sinister black moustaches, roamed in wild array through her mind. What dangerous den of vice had she discovered? She must fly before she had lost her virtue. Then her common sense reminded her that no one, now, would care to deprive her of that possession.
Worst line:" 'And yes,' thought Miss Pettigrew; 'somewhere in his ancestry there had been a Jew.'"
Recommendation? Manna for book clubs. Smart, funny, short enough that everybody can finish it.
Published: 1938 (first edition), 2008 (Persephone Classics edition).
