Funeral services for Kurt Reynolds Martin, 59, of Palestine, Texas will be held Friday, October 5, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in the Timberland Drive Church of Christ with Philip Strong officiating. Interment will follow in the Largent Cemetery in rural Angelina County, Texas.
Mr. Martin was born December 4, 1952 in Rolla, Missouri to the late Luther Washburn and Jeanne Frances (Reynolds) Martin, and died unexpectedly on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at the home of his daughter in Lufkin, Texas. He was pronounced dead at the local hospital.
Kurt attended the Rolla Public Schools, graduating in 1971. He attended Florida College in Temple Terrace Florida, where he met Brenda Jean Murray. They married June 8, 1973 in Lufkin, Texas, Brenda's home town. They divorced August 31st, 2000.
Kurt's career focused on business. He worked for Lufkin Industries, in Lufkin, Texas, and was a store manager for Lowe's Homecenters Inc. in Texas and Oregon.
From an early age Kurt began preaching and leading worship services, as did his father, Luther Martin. No matter what earthly responsibilities he held, his first love was serving the Lord and spreading the gospel. He spent his last years residing in Palestine, Texas where he was the minister for the Eastside Church of Christ.
He was a treasured father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He had a quick wit, a keen sense of humor and was blessed with the ability to lighten the mood and bring a smile at the most opportune times.
When his three children were in school he served on the Hudson ISD school board and was an active parent and coach for his children's many activities. In the last seven years as a grandfather he continued that same support with his five grandsons. Kurt was a man of many talents. His most recent hobby included being the sound man for the Cowboy B music show in Lufkin, Texas. He considered it his "hunting, fishing, and golf" replacement. He will be sorely missed by all who loved him.
Survivors include his sons and daughters-in-law, Todd Brandon and Brooke(Barge) Martin of Huntington and Grant Murray and Amanda(English)Martin of Nacogdoches; daughter and son-in-law, Amber Elizabeth and Barett Duren of Huntington; grandchildren, Peyton Brent Martin, Caleb Todd Martin, Barett Karter Duren, Owen Riley Duren and Sawyer Lee Duren; brother and sister-in-law, Lynn Luther and Marione (Derrickson) Martin of Alva, Oklahoma; sisters and brothers-in-law, Judy Jeanne and Harlan Doering of McPherson, Kansas, Tara Lee Calhoun of Norman, Oklahoma and Marta Ann and Bob Ward of Houston; numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.
Pallbearers will be Randy Murray, Mack Duncan, Jason King, Steve Bradley, Charles Lopez, Tim Beamon, Monte Ramsey and Steve Walsh. Honorary pallbearers will be the brethren at Eastside Church of Christ in Palestine, Texas.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, P.O. Box 78960, Phoenix, Arizona 85062.
The family will welcome friends and loved ones from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Thursday evening at Carroway Funeral Home, in Lufkin, Texas.
Memories and condolences may be added at www.carrowayfuneralhome.com. Carroway Funeral Home, Lufkin, directors.

Sleep Disorders Common
Sleep disorders are conditions that prevent a person from getting restful sleep, They can result in daytime sleepiness and other problems.Doctors have identified more than 80 types of sleep disorders, and an estimated 70 million Americans suffer from one or more. Experts list the following as some of the most common sleep disorders: -- Obstructive sleep apnea, which is the temporary cessation of breathing due to a blockage of the upper airways during sleep, resulting in many sleep interruptions every hour. The awakenings are rarely remembered, and therefore many sleep apnea sufferers are unaware that they have it. Symptoms include loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, obesity, increased irritability or depression and decreased concentration and productivity. -- Insomnia, which makes it difficult for the sufferer to fall asleep or stay asleep. Symptoms include waking up too early in the morning, waking up often during the night and having at least one of the following: fatigue, sleepiness, problems with mood or concentration, and accidents at work or while driving. -- Jet lag, also known as time-zone change, in which traveling across time zones disrupts a person's sleep patterns. It occurs because the traveler's internal "clock" is out of sync with the new time zone. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep, difficulty waking up and disrupted sleep, all leading to daytime sleepiness, headache and general malaise. Jet lag is a common problem for travelers, and more common in people over 50 than in those under 30. Frequent travelers can develop chronic jet lag symptoms. -- Shift work. The constant changing of sleep patterns in people who change shifts often or work overnight shifts has been linked to gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disease, increases in alcohol and tranquilizer use and chronic trouble sleeping. About 20 million U.S. workers, or about 22 percent of the work force, are shift workers. -- Restless Leg Syndrome, characterized by aching, itching, tingling and burning in the lower legs as the sufferer is falling asleep and typically requiring a person to get up and walk around for relief. The aching may also be accompanied by periodic limb movements that may continue for minutes or hours. It typically develops in middle age and appears to run in families. RLS occurs in about 2 to 5 percent of adults. -- Sleepwalking, which is most common in children and is thought to be caused by a partial arousal from deep sleep. While the child's brainwaves are those of deep sleep, the sleepwalker moves as though awake. The episodes are typically brief -- less than 10 minutes -- and usually occur during the first three hours of sleep. The sleepwalker usually has no recollection of the event in the morning. Sleepwalking occurs in more than 10 percent of children and appears to run in families. Most children outgrow it. Sleepwalking episodes may be triggered by fever or some medications. Unpredictable sleep schedules, sleep deprivation and stress may also contribute to sleepwalking episodes. -- Narcolepsy, which is a neurological disorder of sleep regulation that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the day. This can happen suddenly in mid-sentence, while at work or behind the wheel of a car. Narcolepsy usually begins between ages 15 and 25 but can become apparent at any age. In many cases it is undiagnosed and, therefore, untreated. -- Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder. In this condition, a person's biological clock shifts to earlier hours -- typically falling asleep before 9 p.m. and awakening between 3 and 5 a.m. and failing to return to sleep. This condition occurs most often in older people, and some doctors believe it is more a normal consequence of aging than a disorder.

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!
Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc. Otherwise, the all the 411.
love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.
I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses. I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted. I needed an employee position and they hire only IC. Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces. They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment. The other requires purchase of a C-phone. They are standard 4 hospital. You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day). No benefits. Direct deposit twice a month.
I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.
Hope this helps.
Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "slow time" when typing IMEs?
All aspects of transcription are here to stay, there will always be in-house, home-based and off-shore MTs for every speciality, pathology and radiology included. There are just to many more doctors and patients than there are qualified MTs.
I personally attended a community college with a 9 month MT program that included an unpaid internship in a hospital acute care and radiology department to graduate. I would recommend finding an accredited community college who offers a remote MT course with payment plan rather than going through any of the online schools that are not accredited as a real school. If you go the www.AHIMA.org, there is a link where you can find MT, RHIT and RHIA programs all over the country from actual colleges and find out if they offer distance education for that program as well. Most are now about $2400 and do allow payment plans and financial aid.
I am currently a part-time Webmedx employee. As of recently, I am frequently running out of work and is not getting all my hours in during the week. I am unable to sit around all day to clock in and out when work is available (I do have a full-time job, thank god). I am not saying all accounts are, but I believe some are overstaffed. I guess it just all depends on what account(s) you are assigned to, and who knows you may be lucky. But other than that, it�s a good company as far as the people and the money (when I get all of my hours). I am not saying not to give it a try, because this is just from my experience and others may be differ.
Also, very improvement, read a post made on Webmedx on 12/13 by a long-term Webmedx employee. This will help. Gook luck!!
AccuTran out of Indiana - what do you want to know ? Please e-mail me any specific questions. Are you looking to start work with them or just background info ? I have known the owner personally for 8 years and worked for her on and off over the years during that time.

Boster Radio Penerima FM
Here is a simple circuit of an FM booster that can be used to listen to programmes from distant FM stations clearly. This amplifier will pull in all distant FM stations clearly. The circuit is configured as a common-emitter tuned RF pre-amplifier wired around VHF/UHF transistor Q1.
Skema rangkaian boster radio penerima FM
2SC2570. (Only C2570 is annotated on the transistor body.) Assemble the circuit on a good-quality PCB (preferably, glass-epoxy). Adjust input/ output trimmers (VC1/VC2) for maximum gain.
All capacitors are ceramic and 50V is the standard but the 25V types work fine too. Trimmer capacitors Tr1 and Tr2 (22pF) are adjusted for maximum gain. Input coil L1 consists of 4 turns of 20SWG enamelled copper wire over a 5mm diameter former. It is tapped at the first turn from the ground lead side. Coil L2 is similar to L1, but has only three turns. Pin configuration is shown in the diagram.

Frederik Andersen is a 6-foot-3 Dane great in a field that occupies a very small piece of a rather small country's sports landscape.
Skim the Web versions of Monday's sports pages in Denmark's major newspapers, and you must scroll deep to find any mention of the starring role Andersen played as his team won Sunday's Stanley Cup semifinal opener against the Blackhawks.
So if the Ducks goalie becomes the first to bring the Stanley Cup to Denmark, a populace of 5.6 million that focuses its sports interest on soccer, cycling and team handball (yes, team handball) may not understand what all the fuss is about.
"Those who know hockey in Denmark will know what a high level...

I'm still here! I've been enjoying a long and wonderful summer with my hubby and boys, but they had to go back to school today. After spending the summer vacation free of deadlines, stress, and drama I've decided that I will no longer be stamping. It was a fabulous hobby that was fun and very fulfilling while it lasted, but the time has come to let it go and start another adventure. I will always be thankful and appreciative to all of my faithful and precious followers, and I will miss you more than the stamping and creating! You all made every moment worthwhile.
With that being said, I am here to let you all know that I will be having a HUGE everything-must-go stamp sale starting tomorrow. After I have sold all of the stamp sets I will begin selling off all of my cardmaking accessories: cardstock, patterned papers, ribbons, etc. As soon as the sales page is ready to view, I will add another post above this one announcing the official sale and the link to the page with all of the information you'll need to get started shopping.
Thanks again for a wonderful ride, and for your sweet and loyal friendships. I will miss you all!

The SF SPCA offers general practice externship opportunities for 3rd and 4th year veterinary candidates from U.S.-based degree programs and students in their final year of study from other countries. Students can experience a modern, full-service general practice hospital at the Mission Campus or a 24 hour emergent/preventive care facility at our Pacific Heights Campus. We are unique in that our general practice programs integrate with our shelter and community programs introducing veterinary students with an interest in rescue and welfare to a progressive shelter model.
We have a medical staff of 40+ DVMs, including a veterinary behaviorist and an internal medicine specialist, both board-certified. Student externs gain valuable experience at the SF SPCA campuses. We also host interns (first year post-graduates) for spay/neuter surgical rotations via the VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists internship program. We do not currently offer a comprehensive in-house internship program for veterinary post-graduates or any training to veterinarians seeking s/n surgical experience.
Student externs participate in as many of the following modules as available:
Veterinary Hospital and Emergency Services
Our Veterinary Hospitals are open seven days per week. Externs gain experience with treatment plans, client communication, gathering patient histories, surgical procedures, emergency services medicine, preventive care, dentistry and diagnostics. Students are invited to participate in daily hospital rounds and continuing education events. Externs can choose either, the SF SPCA Mission Campus or the SF SPCA Pacific Heights Campus, formerly Pets Unlimited.
Spay-Neuter Clinic
The Spay-Neuter clinic at the SF SPCA Mission Campus hosts 3rd and 4th year students and veterinary interns. We provide opportunities for learning quality, high volume spay and neuter techniques under the direct supervision of our surgical team. Externs from California veterinary schools are able to gain hands-on surgical experience. (Available at Mission Campus only)
Community Cares Program
Our Community Cares Program provides experience with feral cat outreach, spay-neuter and treatment and coordinates our twice-monthly vaccine clinics. (Weekend availability mostly. Based at Mission Campus, but externs at either campus can attend clinics.)
Feline Wellness Center
Our Feline Wellness Center at the Pacific Heights campus sees thousands of feline patients per year and the Center focuses on cat-specific needs and services.
Shelter Medicine
The Shelter Medicine department hosts a limited number of 4th year students from schools offering shelter medicine curricula. Pre-requisite shelter med experience is suggested. (Available at Mission Campus)
Behavior and Training
Our Behavior and Training programs provide opportunities to discover how we integrate positive reinforcement behavior practices into our campus programs. We also offer public services including training classes and formal behavior assessments. The behavior module is Mission Campus-based and scheduled depending on on clinician availability. Behavior and Training class observation is open to all externs. Please request an updated calendar of classes.
Other Opportunities
We maintain partnerships with various Bay Area rescue organizations. Spending time with organizations like Vet SOS provides invaluable rescue organization experience for students. Contact the Veterinary Staff Coordinator for more info about SF SPCA externships: email@example.com

Head Coach John Handrigan said, "At the beginning of the year I asked the team to give me 100 percent and I told them if we do so we will achieve our goal of making the NCAA National Championship." For both Handrigan and his team that hard work has definitely paid off.
Handrigan, in only his third year as a head coach, will be leading the Cobras on their first trip to the National championship as a team. Coker had an individual golfer go to the national championship, Chris Taylor, in 2003.
Coker and its five golfers are just one of 18 teams and 105 participants, including six top ten and 14 top twenty teams, vying for the title of 2006 National Champion. The Cobras will be joined by two other Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference (CVAC) schools,
Win or lose this has been a very memorable year for the Cobras. They won the CVAC Championship, along with winning the Atlantic Regional. The Cobras are also ranked in the top twenty in the nation, and they are going to the National Championship.
"This has been a great year not only for these players, but also for

Celebrate the victorious transitions of women in their 50s.
Women in their 50s are fascinating. They embrace the "joy of living in their fifties" and still have a lifetime ahead of them. These women don't want to relive their 20s; they're happy where they are.
This age is an Age of Transition for them between juggling careers & raising children and full retirement.
Procter & Gamble has created a website called Victoria, coupled with a print magazine dedicated to these women. Victoria houses great content – articles, videos, forums, product trials about a myriad of topics- travel, relationships, beauty, fashion, health, sports, home decoration etc. The website was first launched in Italy, and is now in Germany and Spain, with France and the UK coming soon.
Victoria wants to celebrate this Age of Transition and the new opportunities for these 50 to 64-year-old women. Can you help make Victoria a desirable brand and an appealing platform?
Create a witty and engaging video that celebrates a woman in her 50s, navigating this life transition and being victorious!

The Color PINK!
I started thinking about the color pink today while I was masturbating during my camshow.
While my hitachi magic wand buzzed high on the shaft of my clit, I used the fingers on my left hand to tease the rest of my pussy and ass. I tickled my asshole. I tugged gently on my tampon string then let go, feeling it subtly vibrate inside. And I used my tiny fingertips to tenderly stroke the head of my clit, it's hood, and my lips around my peehole.
I closed my eyes while I alternately pressed my button, rubbed it back and forth, and rotated it under my finger. I felt the twin folds of my little inner labia right below their critical arch. Because of my tampon, nothing was damp — my skin was soft and dry . . . almost rubbery but not tough enough to be like rubber. More like fresh pink-eraser rubber crossed with raw pie-dough.
As I touched myself it was as though I could FEEL the color pink through my fingertips. Like the pads of my fingers translated what they sensed beneath them as "pink". Rosy fleshy pink. Exquisitely sensitive pink. Forbiddenly private pink. I felt pink through my fingertips and came.Read More

Being a writer comes bundled with numerous small humiliations, but one of the worst, in my experience, is approaching other writers for blurbs of my own books.
You know blurbs, those pithy little sentences that grace the backs (or sometimes the fronts) of books. They almost invariably come in this format:
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
"Wildly overblown praise that compares the book in your hands to an enduring classic, only this is even better."
— Name of Author More Famous than Author of Book You're Holding (More Famous Author's Most Recent/Best Known Book)
Because very few actual readers put much stock in blurbs, the primary audience for blurbs tends to be people within the publishing house, as well as the buyers at the store level who decide which books they want to stock, and early reviewers of books like Kirkus and Publishers Weekly who are trying to figure out what books to pay attention to.
Blurbs are primarily about buzz. You know an author has arrived when he no longer needs blurbs and his back cover is instead a full-sized author photo.
If a famous name shows up in the blurb list, this is seen as a good sign that the book stands at least some chance of getting media attention, which may reach the eyes and ears of people who buy books. Prior to publication, a "good" blurb can instantly change the fortunes of a book inside a publishing house, shaking loose previously unavailable monies for PR or marketing.
Because blurbs are only worthwhile if the blurber is more well-known than the blurbee, when it comes time to seek blurbs prior to publication, the author often tries to call on even the remotest connection, playing a game of six degrees of separation, substituting Philip Roth for Kevin Bacon. If your childhood next-door neighbor's great-aunt's best friend styles Elizabeth Gilbert's hair, you're in business!
The second most humiliating part of asking for blurbs is the wait. It is a two-step process, first asking if the more famous and admired writer is amenable to receiving an advance copy of the novel. Then, if they are agreeable, you wait (and wait and wait) to see if a blurb is forthcoming.
Sending my not-yet-published book to writers I admired and asking them to respond in the form of three to five sentences of effusive praise made me want to claw my own skin off my body. When someone would reply with an honest-to-goodness blurb, the relief was like being pardoned from death row.
The most humiliating part of the blurb-seeking process is when the more famous and admired writer declines to blurb. In my case, two writers whose work I cherish (and have happily recommended in these pages) both declined to offer any printable praise. That felt like a small death.
Busy writers taking the time out to blurb are doing a definite mitzvah, which is why I'm not going to make too much fun of the overheated verbiage that shows up in blurbs. But surely there aren't dozens and dozens of "life changing," "un-put-down-able" and "instant classic" books released in a given year, as the blurbs would have us believe.
One of my kind blurbers compared my work favorably to both Walker Percy and Saul Bellow, which is simultaneously flattering (because it'd be awesome if it was true), and embarrassing (because it isn't true).
My advice? Skip the blurbs until after you've read the book. Don't let someone else's thoughts and feelings substitute for yours. Trust me on that. I'm the next Saul Bellow.

For Sean, I'm recommending the amazing "The Book of Disquiet," by Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa famously wrote in more than 80 different heteronyms, full-fledged identities with their own histories and distinct styles. Pessoa worked in the days before blurbs, but he wouldn't have had to worry about them, since one of his heteronyms could always blurb another.

Arrest made in fatal shooting spree at Alief home
3 sought in attack that left dead boy's father wounded
Houston police have arrested one person in the execution-style slayings of a 10-year-old boy and a woman last week at an Alief home.
Three others wanted in the deaths of Brandon Vu and 41-year-old Lee "Lena" Nguyen were still being sought. The boy's father was wounded in the May 13 shooting authorities have said is drug-related.
"These suspects are extremely dangerous," Sgt. Warren Meeler said Monday. "Anyone that would do that to a woman and a child, it's incomprehensible."
Bobby Austin, 23, was arrested Friday and has been charged with capital murder in the slayings at the home in the 6600 block of Westwick Drive, police said. Both victims had been shot in the head.
Hoai Tranh Vu, 40, remains in critical condition at Memorial Hermann Hospital, police said.
Police said the boy and Nguyen, Vu's girlfriend, were found on the floor in an upstairs bedroom. Vu was found on the couch upstairs, bleeding severely. He was also shot in the head.
Police said the shooting was believed to be drug-related. Investigators found illegal drugs - mostly marijuana - inside the residence, according to police.
Homicide investigators arrested Austin based on a description of the 2005 Silver Monte Carlo that was seen speeding away from the home, Meeler said at a news conference.
Now, investigators are looking for Jerome Dewon Godine, 22, who also is charged with capital murder charge in the case.
Two others are being sought for questioning - Desmenn Demond Simon, 25, also known as "Torch," and Donte Earls, 23, known as "Tay." Both have been known to have short hair but may now be sporting dreadlocks, police said.
The three have been known to frequent the areas of Selinsky Road and Scott Street on the city's south side, as well as the Greenspoint area on the city's north side.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the slayings.
"There are people out there that know what happened," said HPD homicide Sgt. Colin Howard. "They've talked to someone about it. We want them (witnesses) to come forward. It's about the 10-year-old child. It's about the victims."
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600, or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

What do you get when you cross a multinational professional services firm with a semi-annual magazine known for featuring homoerotic images of very young, half naked men? In the case of mega accounting firm Ernst & Young, it may either mean tapping into an unchartered market, or upsetting some of its stodgier clients. Time will tell.
It all started last month when Ernst & Young in an effort to modernize their corporate messaging, rebranded as "EY," causing an inadvertent and unfortunate crossover between the world's third largest professional services firm and EY Magateen, which according to Wikipedia "addresses the energy, power and vitality of young men, most of them aged between 16 and 21 years old." The result has caused soft core pornographic images from EY Magateen to come up during Google searches for EY professional services.
As reported in SiloBreaker.com, "It will be apparent to individuals looking for EY, the professional services organization, that the images are not related to us. People are aware of how search engines on the internet work and, as the imagery for our new brand becomes more established in the market place, it will be easier for internet browsers to find the images they are looking for."
Newly-appointed EY Global Chairman Mark Weinberger told accountingweb.com that the rebranding includes a change to their logo. "Our new brand name and logo demonstrate clearly and boldly who we are and reflect the goal we have recently set for ourselves to be the number one brand in our profession."
Mr Weinberger added that changing EY's tagline "puts front and center what we do every day, and that's building a better working world.""
Representatives from EY Magateen were unavailable for comment.

Missouri Hunters Asked to Help Control CWD
JEFFESON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's firearms deer season takes place next month, and conservation officials are asking hunters to help prevent the spread of chronic wasting disease.
The disease is deadly to deer, but there is no evidence it can affect humans. Deer can be affected through exposure to soil containing abnormal proteins that are called prions. The prions can get into soil when infected deer decompose on the surface.
The Conservation Department says hunters should avoid cutting through the spine, brain or bones. If hunters must move a whole carcass, they should send the non-edible parts to state-approved landfills for proper burial.

In my previous post, I mentioned that my ancestor, Henry Williams of Caswell Co., NC had a brother, Colonel James Williams of the 96th District, SC who died in the Revolutionary War. I received the book I ordered "James Williams: An American Patriot in the Carolina Backcountry" by William Graves in the mail this week to confirm this relationship. Graves' book gives an excellent account of the life of Colonel James Williams and includes familial activities and history based on primary sources of letters, wills, estate, and court records.
The author of this book confirms that my ancestor, Henry Williams, was in deed the brother of Colonel James Williams and says that Colonel James Williams transferred much of his assets, including his slaves, to his brother's house for safe keeping from the Tories shortly before he died (p. 25-27).
Details of his whole estate were recorded in both Caswell Co., NC and in the 96th District, SC. This was a great find. As a side, my ancestor, Henry Williams, was also a Colonel in the Revolutionary War; Henry Williams' great-grandson, Iverson Lea Brooks later became a General in the War between the States.
To Do:
- Copy the Will of James Williams from the Caswell Co., NC Will folders at the State Archives [If not located, look for will recorded in Caswell Co Will Book A, p. 113, December Court 1780]
- Copy the estate files of James Williams from the loose papers in the estate of James in Caswell Co., NC at the State Archives
- Go through and index the Land Grants issued the Williams family in Granville Co., NC before 1800. – Updated: A summary of Land Grants was posted here.

Rapper and actress Yo-Yo speaks at a press conference calling for justice for Trayvon Martin held in Los Angeles. (Malcolm Ali for Sentinel)
Rap artist, actress and activist, Yolanda "Yo-Yo" Whittaker speaks on Trayvon Martin, educating kids and calls for Hip-Hop artists to respond.
On Tuesday, March 27, a Black Coalition comprised of Sentinel Publisher and Bakwell CEO, Danny Bakewell Sr., The Brotherhood Crusade, LA NAACP, Nation of Islam, Southern Christian Leadership Conference and community members gathered to call for justice for Trayvon Martin. Rapper and actress, Yolanda Whittaker aka Yo-Yo, added to the clarion call that this injustice wouldn't go unchallenged.
"[It's] my [duty] to fight this cause with our community," said Yo-Yo. "To help bring out and motivate other hip-hop leaders to use their voice.
"We want it to stop.
"Like Brother [Tony] Muhammad was saying [today], we're going to stop patronizing, stop buying, we're going to start creating our own business in our own Black communities if they're going to… continue with senseless crimes against our young, Black men.
"Something's got to be done.
"No Justice, no peace."
Yo-Yo spoke on how the youth could use their power to ignite a change in their communities. She feels youth should become more proactive in addressing situations that directly affect them.
"If ever you question when there is a time to stand, when you want to know when to fight, when to let your voice be heard, when to create a protest, when to walk out and say no more—situations like this," said Yo-Yo.
"The senseless murder of this young boy based on his race— based on racial profiling—this is when you stand.
"Pay attention to what's going on in the world, because it's happening everywhere.
"It's more than [materialism] and school— there is a world out there that we live in and things we have to come up against.
Our ancestors have been fighting for this forever. Pay attention.
"Like I tell my kids, here is the time to stand."
Yo-Yo is also calling for the hip-hop community to become more proactive in the issues. She feels that artist today don't truly understand their power and influence to create positive outcomes.
"It really doesn't cost money nowadays to get the right PR [public relations] to send a message to America that we won't stand for injustice of our people," said Yo-Yo.
"This is a billion-dollar industry. We got more than a couple of moguls who are close to being billionaires themselves. When I say we are the majority. We are the popular music.
"We are changing the world. You have to take a stand.
"There is no more waiting on your mother and father—you are the frontier now. The responsibility is ours.
"Hip-Hop is not a baby anymore. It's 30-years- old.
"I'd like to see Lil' Wayne… I'd love to hear Drake… I'd love to see Dr. Dre… I'd love to see Ice Cube… we don't have that hip-hop political party like we used to when I was coming up.
"If Public Enemy was hear… let me tell you, we wouldn't even having this…I would be standing with them.
"Hip-Hop… we have a responsibility."
Yo-Yo has a Hip-Hop school called Yo-Yo's School of Hip-Hop. She works with the inner city youth in Los Angeles. She is using her experience and skills to not only build talent but educate and promote positive activity. Based in the Fernando Pullum Community Art Center, they're also at the new youth center off of Florence and Vermont.
"You got to understand your power," said Yo-Yo. "You got to understand your words—words have power.
"I teach that to the kids at my Hip-Hop school."
The most important point Yo-Yo stressed was her involvement in issues like Martin's killing. She stated that she takes her voice and power seriously. She expects everyone else to do the same.
"We've been fighting for change all our lives," said Yo-Yo. "All I know is, the people with power, such as myself—I believe… a lot can happen.
"I don't know exactly what's going to happen. All I know is—I have to show up. I have to let my voice be heard.
"I'm going to inform, I'm going to educate, I'm going to be a part of my community. I'm going to make difference.
"I'm saving lives… I'm teaching the kids integrity, fearlessness, confidence— [but] I'm demanding something in return.
I'm demanding that you sit up straight, speak with confidence, look in a person's eyes, you calm down, you smile, you have poise.
"I'm teaching them now, as an adult in hip-hop, as a legend of hip-hop, that yeah—it matters."

various questions
various questions
There are tons of resources online talking about ecological impacts of batteries. However, most of them ignore the fact that the batteries can be readily recycled, both as batteries with just reduced capacity for other uses, or as raw materials to make new batteries.
For going down hill, you use regenerative breaking which in addition to slowing the car down like engine braking with a manual transmission, you actually recover a substantial amount of energy. To activate them, you just let off the accelerator, and the car will extract up to 60kW of power from the kinetic energy of the car.
I have no idea how serious Tesla is about Australia, but I would assume that they are interested in selling a car to anyone who is willing to buy it, but also that they are going to concentrate efforts where there are more customers or fewer changes are required to the car. In particular, I think the right-hand-drive models won't be available until the end of the year.
The EPA rated range of 265 miles assumes an average of about 312Wh/mi, and the ideal range of 300 miles (constant 55mph on flat ground with no HVAC) comes to about 275Wh/mi. I haven't driven for efficiency (driving ~80 on the interstate and making use of the accelerator), and I am averaging about 370Wh/mi. It is very easy to achieve 320Wh/mi by just dropping the speed slightly on the interstate, and the one time I tried to see how low I could get the energy usage I was able to get about 290Wh/mi (still with half my commute at interstate speeds). All of the above is with moderate heating use (it has typically been 40-50F around here since I got the car.
I think if you take the time to sit down and really think about the process of making and fueling either car it becomes a little more clear since many studies are paid for by people who want their idea supported I find them hard to believe sometimes.
The car itself minus the fuel/battery is pretty much the same car. Sure other car makers are using electric motors that use permanent magnets but Tesla is not. Just because some companies can do it the wrong way does not mean the concept is flawed.
An ICE has hundred of parts that will need to be continually replaced in the engine alone. A BEV does not. Tesla's motor has one moving part. That alone you have to admit saves on environmental impact since less is needed to support the car.
With the car itself minus fuel we are already ahead by a little.
Both the battery and oil for each car has to be mined. One we are running out of the other we have just started to tap. Lithium can be recycled. Some will say the process is difficult but it can be recycled. Oil can not, once it's converted to gas and burnt it is gone. Even if the mining/drilling is equally toxic for lithium and oil the lithium is not burnt in the car and the toxins either spewed into the air or collected in catalytic converts. The lithium stays in the batteries.
To me that give lithium BEVs another +1
Oil has to be refined into fuel. Lithium has to be turned into batteries. Both have to be transported. Oil has to be transported to the refinery. Lithium to the battery cell maker. Once the refinery is done the fuel is transported around the world to thousands of distribution centers in hundreds of thousands truck and boats. Batteries will be sent to maybe 50 car makers. Which do you think takes more energy, transporting to a few locations or to thousands?
Again I think the BEV is ahead here +1
Once the battery is in the car that's it. You charge and there is no transportation pollution just the power generation of your choice. Yes that can be coal. It can also be Nuclear, Hydro, Wind, Solar and a few others. For ICE they need that transportation to happen every time they go to the pump. The coal fired power plant is looking pretty clean at this point.
See the lithium is once. The pollution is done as far as mining, refining, transporting. Gas is a repeat cycle of pollute every time you get gas. Even is this processes is a break even between the two, which I doubt, the other +1s above put the BEV ahead.
Here's the biggest point to me.
In twenty years I can take my battery out of my car and install the latest Gene4000 electric generator that takes pee(or whatever is cheap) and turns it into total clean energy. Why total clean? because that's what that generator will do. With ICE I an still stuck with drilling, refining and refueling.... forever. Well maybe farming, refining and refueling... still a polluting method.
Re: Regenerative braking - It may not be immediately clear to everyone, (I really only totally understood when I test drove the car) that the regen braking all happens when you release the accelerator. You need not touch the brake at all. The last inch or so of the accelerator's travel before it's completely released engages the regenerative braking. It's much like a high-compression ICE, but much more manageable. I can drive the car without ever touching the brake pedal, except if I want to slow below 5mph. Now that I've had the car for almost a week it's already starting to become second nature. I manage the accelerator just so that it reaches about 5 mph with a few yards to go to the stopping point. Then I barely touch the brake and I'm stopped. If it were up to me, I'd encourage Tesla to leave the regen braking on until the car has reached 2 mph.
So, depending on how steep the hill is, you may never touch the brake pedal. My guess is that it would have to be pretty steep, because regenerative braking is nice and strong (enough to light up the brake lights)
Regen is gradual, although you have to get used to not just letting off the accelerator like an ICE and expecting a coast. ;-)
penguin_brian - I am in Sydney. I have test driven the roadster twice. Believe me, regen is intuitive and great! you get used to it virtually within 10 mins. Diego is 100% correct. you only touch the brakes when you want to come to a complete stop. You may never need to change brake pads, and hopefully the wheels will stay clean of brake dust. Can any owners comment specifically on brake dust?
Regarding Aussie - we lost our local rep a couple of months ago because right hand drive has been pushed back, so there is currently no active marketing. I am a reservation holder and am becoming concerned that they may have decided to abandon right hand drive for the foreseeable future. I have written to George Blankenship and am awaiting a reply, since i may want my deposit back if they are going to be another couple of years. (i registered in April 2011). So, right now, they don't appear to be serious about the Aussie market.
Yes, it looks like charging efficiency is around 87% of the energy leaving the wall makes it to the battery. There are also other losses, such as the 100W load running the electronics (most of which will go away when sleep mode is re-enabled in 4.3) and self-discharge if the car sits unused for a long time.
I just figgered out the wrong-hand drive problem for TM. Since the 17" touchscreen needs to be typed on occasionally, and since most people are right-handed, the screen needs to be on the right side of the driver. And there isn't enough room between the seat and the door.
@penguin_brian - the figures I gave were for driving, which does include it (though 100W is pretty inconsequential compared to traction usage). It is mostly an issue when the car is sitting unplugged for a period of time.
The efficiency charging it means I am paying about $.019/mi (my marginal electric rate is $.044/kWh) at my average of 370Wh/mi.
For comparison, a typical gas car would cost about $.10/mi. However, given the cost of the Model S, you won't pay back the price premium in fuel use over the life of the car, so you shouldn't be buying it just for that (of course you will enjoy driving the Model S much more than the most cost-effective transportation).
@Brian H | FEBRUARY 22, 2013: I just figgered out the wrong-hand drive problem for TM.
Interresting observation - really. The GUI will probably have to be changed for RHD. At least the CONTROLS button will need to be moved to the right side of the screen for easier access.
@Alex K - I suspect it will be a lot like designing UIs for Right-to-Left languages (like Arabic and Hebrew), and support for that is already widespread.
But wrong-handers would all have to do all that left-handed. Very "sinister". (Latin for "left hand".) Suddenly the center screen ain't so "handy"!
@Brian H: please contribute something useful that is not derogatory, or don't post at all.
Penguin_Brian: I am also in Sydney and have driven the roadster about 700km over a weekend. We drove to Canberra & back. The regen is extremely intuitive and is like driving a manual with a single gear. It is extremely responsive.
I'm a reservation holder and hope to see my car this year. I'm disappointed that we lost our local rep, but can understand that there isn't much to be done here for the next few months at least with nothing to sell.
Charging the car overnight won't be a problem for a long time here - there is a reason why power is so much cheaper at night.
Mark E;
ST*U. If levity is outside your perceptive abilities, don't try to hold everyone else to your dreary standards.
@penguin_brian - yes, our electricity is cheap -- we get a lot of it from nuclear and hydro. It doubles during the summer, and they offer an EV rate that gets it down to $.019/kWh for the middle of the night, but at the cost of raising peak rates in the summer to $.19/kWh. Since I only spend $35-$50/mo (charging a LEAF and the Model S), what savings I would make there would be dwarfed by doubling what I spend on the rest of my bill.
Our gas is cheap too - it has gone up recently, but it is still about $3.75/gal.
@Penguin_Brian - Check out Cliff's website - he's already done these calcs and more: http://hannelconsulting.com/tesla
@Brian H: I get levity, but you seem to constantly confuse levity with insults, and ST*U doesn't mean anything to me. I appreciate some of your posts when they contain useful info or humour, but sometimes you cross the line. Its not just in this thread.
@penguin_brian: The ground clearance on the roadster is similar to your mx-5, but roadster is actually less practical (just). The mx-5 has a bit more room in the cabin and the boot is about on par.
If you are paying 17c /kWh for off peak then you should probably look around, I'm paying 11, which includes extra for green.
I'm with Energy Australia at the moment. I intend to charge the model s using off peak - or potentially controlled load, if EA will let me.
@penguin_brian: I know what you mean - you have to 'apply for a quote' very annoying.
Mark E;
You must be sinister.
Unfortunately for our Aussie friends, 90% of world GDP occurs in the northern hemisphere, and TM has a long way to go before it satisfies market demand there. Besides, don't electrons circle the other way down there? Does GM sell the Volt in Australia or NZ?
Answered my own question, it is sold as the Holden Volt.
penguin_brian: no details on 3G here in Oz yet, but the US cars got the connection paid for by Tesla- cant remember for how long. You could use a volt for your trip if you don't mind burning some fuel.
There is supposedly a wifi option coming, so you could potentially tether to your mobile. It would be interesting to see how much data it actually uses - you'd hope for less than 1GB/month, but who can tell how much each firmware upgrade uses. There is no real news on LTE support.
I'll be going for the 85 and most likely the P85. It's the only one that could let me commute and also do weekend trips without resorting to my wife's car - as practical as your mx-5.. I don't like the Volt as it's front wheel drive and relatively slow, plus the added complexity of carrying the engine if you don't need to 90% of the time.
I've been defaulting to the US site as it has more detail than the AU version, but we still don't know the standard equipment levels or pricing here.
The worst part is that it will cop the luxury car tax above $75k and that will limit the claimable depreciation and interest if you use it for business, (I will).
On a side note, if you are paying that much for power, then a solar PV system might make more sense to you than many. For me I'm limited by the trees and overshadowing, but have arranged a 2kW system that should offset the car pretty well.
@penguin_brian - currently Telsa pays for it. Once they figure out how they want to do it, customers will have to start paying for it. All the details TBD.
There has been discussion of allowing the car to tether to your phone, but no details there either.
About the downhill: lifting the foot/goose pedal automatically engages regen. (But if the battery is too cold or too full, the regen may be limited or disabled.) If you set cruise control, most find the MS holds that speed seamlessly, up and then down the hill, within 1 mph, with no driver intervention whatsoever, much less use of the brakes. That may not be the least-energy strategy, but it is very convenient.
Yes the Volt is a serial hybrid.
I don't see any incentives being offered here for us, especially in NSW.
The additional energy you need overnight will not be a problem for a while. Most Grids still rely on atomic power that can't change it's output on short notice, wich means that normaly there is too much power on the grid over night wich has to be used somehow. Here in switzerland we pump up water into water reservoir.
There are also some studies that took a look at the electric bills of fuel refineries and depending on the source 60-90% of the electricity an electric car uses to move is also in the fuel. So a part of the more needed electricity could come from the not needed fuel ;)
But then reality will be just like always we have new electric gadgets and we'll build more powerstations to fulfill the need... like with computes, big tvs and cell phones.
There's no call to call penguin_brian a bird-brain! >:p
Actually, I missed the "Pan" bit. But a penguin is a bird, as you surely know. It restricts its flying to underwater, though.
penguin_brian: saving the stamp duty wouldn't compensate for putting up with ACT.
penguin_brian -regrettably all we really get in Oz is a lifting of the luxury car tax threshold.
The Volt works much like a ww2 submarine - the motor runs a generator which charges the battery, not the wheels.
The thread you quote has been largely contributed by me in response to emails sent to management at Tesla. George did not reply to me on this occasion, but the manager for Asia Pacific, Kevin Yu, did and it is he whom i quoted.
Can i suggest you write to the Government and opposition, regarding further breaks on EV's? I suggest G Hunt in the opposition. I have written to them all, and got a reply from the Greens as well as Hunt, but as usual not from the Labor government. They never reply to letters. Doubt we will see movement on this front - we are too busy giving aid to the dregs of the world and borrowing cash from China and running up the debt to pay for it!
And here I thought it was a reference to inhabiting the Southern Hemisphere, dodging leopard seals and Orcas!
@penguin_brian: I don't like the weather, architecture, or location of Canberra. It was only built to settle an argument!

Wow Botch you really know your fish sauce.The wings are marinating in a fish sauce,sugar,ginger and garlic mixture.Tomorrow I'll grill em up and baste with a mixture of the FS marinade and red curry paste...hope it gives some umami satisfaction!!!!Botch said:Check the label. Tiparos (my go-to for adding to soups, stews, etc) states do NOT store it in the frig; like you, mine was in there for a couple years and it actually had, I thought, ice crystals in it as it made slushy sounds when I pulled it out. It still made those sounds a few hours later at room temperature :-O so it was gingerly placed in the trash! My new bottle sits on the counter, per directions.On the other hand, my premium bottle of Red Boat, used for dipping sauces and a bit pricey, states on the label to keep it in the frig, so I have. No rattling sounds yet.I wouldn't marinate anything in it straight, but as an addition to the marinade, go for it!I've learned a lot from the experiments done by Cook's Illustrated magazine lately, regarding Umami, the "fifth" taste and defined by "savoriness". Two compounds boost this property, Glutamates and Nucleotides. These compounds are found separately in a few foods (soy sauce, mushrooms, beef, fish sauce, etc) but I can't remember which was found in which. What I did adopt was a container of dried powdered porcini mushrooms, and a bottle of fish sauce, constantly next to the stove.Either glutamates or nucleotides boost the "umami" of any food they're added to, but when they're BOTH present, they multiply the effect many times! The folks at Cook's did some experimenting, and found the ultimate ratio was 1:1 between the porcini powder and fish sauce; in other words, a pot of soup which has both two teaspoons of powder and two teaspoons of fish sauce added (you don't need much) maximizes the "umami" of the soup.The first time I tried this, my mouth was watering like the beginning of the meal, at the END of my second bowl of soup! It really makes things taste good!
Botch said:Two compounds boost this property, Glutamates and Nucleotides. These compounds are found separately in a few foods
@botch, glutamates= MSG. Glutamic acid, a powerful neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous system. ALL meats and protein sources probably have it.
Nucleotides are basic protein chains that make your DNA. ALL animal and veg (living) have it.
Cooks illustrated "experiments" revealed these? like Al Gore found the internet.

Throw it out - your heart will love you for it. Fish sauce is just liquid sodium. 1200 mg a day is recommended ... how much is in that bottle per "serving"? Can't understand why anyone would use this product.
It does not add any "fishy" flavor to food, it just enhances savory flavors(makes beef taste beefier, for example).khristyjeff said:
I know people say fish sauce smells bad, but does it make food taste fishy? I bought a bottle awhile back but each time I see it on the shelf, I just slowly slink away.
I guess it would since Worcestershire sauce is fish sauce.Eggcelsior said:@khristyjeff, It does a similar thing to food that Worcestershire sauce does in terms of umami, so any food that has a savory profile can accept it. Stir fry, burgers, chili, beef stew, braised chicken...
All that being said, I do have to admit that I use that stuff.
I just don't tell anybody whats in the food that tastes good.

Fish sauce has 690mg per serving(1 tbsp) Considering most recipes call for around 2 tsp (460mg or so) and that recipe serves 6-8, you're getting maybe 80mg per serving. My fish sauce is water, anchovies, salt, and sugar. I use it because it allows me to add less salt to a recipe to get the same flavors to come through. Hope this helps.

Casey Anthony Supporters Send Her Cash, Gift Cards
(TAMPA, Fla.) -- In her first public appearance since her murder acquittal in 2011, the unemployed Casey Anthony said that she lives, "free off of the kindness of others," along with donations of cash and gift cards from strangers.
Even though she's been called the most hated woman in America, Anthony has a fervent group of supporters who use assumed names and brush off death threats in order to stand by her side.
"I think Casey made some mistakes and I think the picture that we see is a caricature of who she really is," a supporter who goes by Melissa told ABC News. "I don't think we see the whole Casey in what has been presented. There's a hard road ahead of her, but she has a lot of support."
Melissa asked that her real name not be used in order to protect herself and her family. She said she is a college-educated, married mom in her 40s who lives on the West Coast.
Melissa said that she has never personally given money to support Anthony, but has seen comments on the website she helps run, CaseyAnthonyIsInnocent.com, from others who, "have sent support to the attorneys."
"From what I gather, she has a strong support system after the trial," she said. "I think the lawyers are personally invested in Casey and want to see her succeed, and therefore there is a support system of people that do help her."
While Anthony was in jail, she received checks in the mail from sympathetic supporters so that she could spend money on snacks and cosmetics.
When asked if Anthony or her team have been in touch with the website, Melissa said, "Yes, we have been thanked...I can't really speak to whether we've talked to her personally."
Melissa said her initial belief was that Anthony was guilty, but after watching the trial, she came to a different conclusion.
"I didn't buy the evidence...I came to the conclusion that the verdict was correct," she said. "I think that the jury got it right."
Melissa thought Anthony was "vilified" in the public and found other Anthony supporters online. They began to communicate on Facebook and Skype. Eventually, the website CaseyAnthonyIsInnocent.com was created. It is one of several websites and many Facebook pages on which people sympathize with, and even admire, Anthony.
"It was to give people a safe place to go and support Casey," Melissa said. "Some of the comments are from the men who may think she's cute, but it goes beyond that."
Melissa said the website frequently receives death threats, some so serious that organizers have reported them to police.
"We can't control some of the comments where it may seem that someone has a crush on Casey, but we are not a fan site," she said. "We are a support site with the goal of counteracting the court of public opinion and supporting her through the justice system and thereafter."
Anthony, 26, went into hiding in 2011 after she was acquitted of murdering her toddler, Caylee. She received a barrage of threats. Aside from a few stray photos, Anthony has succeeded in staying out of sight.
Anthony has been unemployed for the past four years and filed for bankruptcy in January. She's almost $800,000 in debt and has less than $1,100 worth of assets, according to her bankruptcy filing.
"I don't pay rent. I don't pay utilities," Anthony said in bankruptcy court in Tampa, Fla., on Monday. "I guess you could say I'm living free off the kindness of others."
She said at the meeting that she lives with friends. When a federal bankruptcy trustee asked her if she bought her own food, she said, "I try to contribute when I can."
Anthony's lawyers have said since she was acquitted that she has not received any offers for book, movie or television deals. She repeated that at the bankruptcy hearing.
Melissa used to be afraid to support Anthony publicly, but said she has become more vocal about her sympathy. She said her husband and parents are aware of her "hobby" and support her. She spends several hours a day working on the Anthony website and has also been kept busy by a second website she is helping with, JodiAriasIsInnocent.com.
"My reason for helping with it is because I do think women in high-profile trials are misportrayed [sic] in the media, and it drives me crazy to see them calling someone a sociopath by the way their eyes look and diagnosing people they haven't ever met," she said. "I have a lot of passion in what I do."

AUBURN -- It was tough to miss lanky receiver Sammie Coates on the practice field Saturday.
He turned heads with a couple of spectacular catches in tight coverage and made one grab in the end zone that seemed all but impossible.
Auburn coaches noticed too, and they quickly offered him a scholarship after the workouts were finished. Coates, a Leroy standout who was previously committed to Southern Mississippi, readily accepted.
"I got an offer and committed," he told AuburnUndercover.com. "I'm ready to celebrate now."
The 6-foot-3, 170-pounder plans to join his former quarterback, Clint Moseley, on the Plains next season.

Mr. Ekholm goes to Washington
The week of March 5, a Swedish delegation, including Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, Börje Ekholm, and several other Swedish CEOs, met with President Trump at the White House to discuss trade and security.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Löfven, Ericsson CEO Börje Ekholm, several other Swedish CEOs and a host of officials from the Swedish Embassy in the U.S. spent the day in Washington, D.C. The day began with a meeting with Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce. Börje told Secretary Ross that Ericsson appreciates the leadership of FCC Chairman Pai on Net Neutrality and said every bit of data cannot be treated equally. For example, shouldn't remote surgery be treated with a higher level of priority than the kid in the basement playing video games?
After a luncheon on Capitol Hill with Senators and Congressmen from the Swedish Caucus, the group moved on to the White House. After Prime Minister Löfven met alone with President Trump, the rest of the delegation had a few minutes with the President to discuss their own company's priorities. Börje brought up the need for mid-band spectrum (3 GHz) for 5G in order for the U.S. to remain competitive in the global race to 5G.

Where Do You Start?
Placement Tests and Other Orientation Tools
Stay Strong
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)
More Placement Tests/Assessment Resources
By Vicki Bentley
If I asked you for directions, what's the first thing you'd want to know? You'd probably ask where I wanted to go, and where I was starting from. Only when you know where I am going and from where I am beginning can you help me determine the best route to get there.
What Curriculum Should You Use?
Choosing appropriate curriculum is one of the most common concerns of parents, whether new or veteran homeschoolers. The word curriculum has early Latin and French origins and means literally to run a course; I like to think of homeschooling as a journey. "What curriculum should I use?" is pretty much the same as asking for directions, figuratively speaking. So, as with any successful road trip, you'll need to know not only your destination—a well-rounded education—but also your starting point. How do you figure that out?
Informal Assessments
As a homeschool parent, you observe your child on a daily basis and can probably determine pretty accurately in which areas he is strong and in which areas he could use some maturity or additional help. His verbal interaction with you, his hands-on activities, written work, periodic subject-matter tests (if you use them), and his achievement of goals you have set for him are all informal indicators of his progress and abilities.
But sometimes you can still have trouble orienting yourself, figuring out which homeschool direction to take next. I'm incredibly geographically challenged—known to get lost in parking garages or within a mile from home—and this translates into my often being disoriented in many areas of life; my kids know not to give me the map—just tell me the landmarks to look for! The same process can work for home education.
Landmarks: Scope-and-Sequence Guides
Many parents find it reassuring to have some sort of guidelines for academic landmarks or milestones, such as Robin Sampson's What Your Child Needs to Know When—with checklists for evaluating progress in language arts, math, science, and social studies (K-8th) as well as character development. A few other resources with scope-and-sequence lists—guides to age-appropriate learning—include:
Various publishers or curriculum providers have their own lists, such as Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books.
Placement Tests
Another option is placement tests, either informal or more structured. (See sidebar for some placement test resources.) When my daughter switched from one algebra program to another, we weren't sure where to begin, since different publishers approach the same subject in a slightly different order. So she took the chapter test for each chapter until she got to a chapter at which she wasn't successful. This would let us know where she needed to begin, rather than repeating the earlier chapters with material she already knew.
Many parents use their children's standardized test scores as diagnostic tools; in this case, I suggest you hold these scores loosely and remember that these are simply a snapshot of your child on a given day. Also, standardized tests aren't designed to determine what your child knows, but what he knows compared to other children. So don't be too swayed by the actual percentile scores; instead, pay attention to extremities in scoring, such as an average math score but a significantly low language arts score.
Assessments for placement purposes usually concentrate on math and language arts because they are skills subjects which are generally covered sequentially. In other subjects, such as social studies and science, it is easier to pick up with the time period or topic in which you are interested. For these subjects, a scope-and-sequence checklist might help you avoid huge gaps, while placement tests are often not as helpful because these content-rich subjects are not as contingent upon grade level.
Now What?
The providers of scope-and-sequence guides or placement tests may be generalizing a particular school population (such as a specific public or private school) or may be tailoring their placement tests to their own products. Be sure to cover any statutory requirements for your state, then exercise your parental judgment. Use any standardized test, placement test, or scope-and-sequence checklist simply as a guide, not as the definitive answer. Sort of like the little voice in the GPS—you can "recalculate" your route!
Once you have determined where your child "is" in a given subject area—usually language arts or math—pray about what God wants your family to learn this year, then set goals for the year and select materials to help you meet those goals.
