- Completeness - Vital records usually cover a large percentage of the population and include a wide variety of information for linking families.
- Reliability - Because they are usually created close to the time of the event by someone with personal knowledge of the facts and because most governments have measures in place to try and ensure their accuracy, vital records are a fairly reliable form of genealogical information.
- Availability - Because they are official documents, governments have made an effort to preserve vital records with newer records being found in local government offices and older records residing in a variety of record repositories and archives.
As you begin your research in vital records it is important to realize that in the early days of registration, not all births, marriages and deaths were reported. The compliance rate may have been as low as 50-60% in earlier years, depending upon the time and place. People living in rural areas often found it a real inconvenience to take a day from work to travel many miles to the local registrar. Some people were suspicious of the government's reasons for wanting such information and simply refused to register. Others may have registered the birth of one child, but not others. Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths is much more accepted today, however, with current rates of registration closer to 90-95%.

Merrill Matthews, Contributor
I explore public policy and politics and expose foolish ideas.
The smart money in a presidential election is on the incumbent. But in a down economy, or when the public perceives the incumbent as feckless, dithering or simply not up to the task—can you say Jimmy Carter or George H.W. Bush?—the conventional wisdom can go out the window.
That's pretty much where we are with President Obama. Several factors, when taken together, make it almost impossible for him to win reelection.
"It's the Economy, Stupid." We have former Bill Clinton advisor James Carville—who knows a little something about beating an incumbent president, Bush 41—to thank for that important insight. Maybe Carville was anticipating Obama.
A new Washington Post poll claims that 57 percent of the public disapproves of Obama's handling of the economy. Those kinds of numbers can create electoral landslides—for the opponent.
Since 1940 no incumbent president has been reelected with an unemployment rate above 7.5 percent (i.e., Reagan's rate in 1984). It's currently 8.8 percent. Of course, many states have significantly higher unemployment rates; California, Nevada, Michigan, Oregon and Florida, among others, remain above 10 percent. Those states are essential for Obama's reelection. While California and Oregon will remain blue, economically struggling Michigan, Nevada and Florida could express their discontent by voting Republican.
The economy will likely pick up over the next 18 months, but very slowly. And that means millions of struggling families will head to the polls on election day and vindicate Carville's political insight .
Consumers Are "Fueling" the Pain. High gas prices create immediate and visceral economic pain. A new ABC/Washington Post poll says that seven out of 10 respondents claim that high gas prices are "causing financial hardship."
When those prices get high enough, the public starts demanding solutions—and holding politicians responsible.
There have been three major gas-price hikes in the past century:
Incumbent Gerald Ford lost his reelection bid, as did Jimmy Carter. Of course, John McCain wasn't running for reelection in 2008, but the Republican Party (with Bush in the White House) was—and the party lost. Even though prices had started to decline by September, it wasn't enough to stem the summer of our discontent.
Barack Obama has never proposed a serious energy policy. Indeed, he has either directly or indirectly opposed virtually all efforts to develop domestic energy sources, including offshore drilling and in Alaska. Rather, his energy policy seems to be to put everyone in a (Government Motors) Chevy Volt.
It's amazing how you show unbelievable bias by excluding from your "can you say…" comment. It was George Bush, the child, whose administration created the current problem in his 8 years of hapless administration. Then you blame the Obama administration from not pulling us out in just 2 years and a small fraction.
We are doing much better today than anyone with a knowledge of finance and/or economics could reasonably expect.
Merrill, I pray every evening that your prediction comes true. It is, however, very early. Obama will be a tough opponent because we have so many hopelessly uninformed people like mpwinsma (above).
I'm praying he does win! Let's see if God listens to those YOU consider uninformed! If so I guess you'll claim that God just doesn't get it!!!
Wow from where I'm sitting the trend lines look very good for him! The only demographic that PRESIDENT OBAMA is not leading in is white males…that would be you Merrill! Women, African-Americans, Hispanics, & young people all favor him, and don't like Willard (I think that was the name of an awful rat in some movie), the ULTIMATE FLIP-FLOPPER!! Even senior citizens don't care for his policies on medicare, which could swing a few more votes our way.
Keep putting a spin on it though, if it makes you happy!
Merrill, you can't possibly believe that Obama is going to lose this race? I have not seen a single sign that he will. It will be tight, but after the debates it will not be as close. You can't really think that romney will be able to go toe to toe with Obama. Its pretty light headed of you to think that. Obama will destroy romney, and all the lies that he has been spewing, the medicare lie, the we built that lie, the welfare lie, his flip flop on abortion, gay marriage and best of all ROMNEY CARE… Oh its over for the republicans. In 2016 hopefully they put up a REAL candidate that will atleast be sport to watch debate Hilary Clinton.
Would that include Nate Silver?

GREEN BAY, WI – March 5, 2012 – In Wisconsin colon cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer in both men and women combined. From 2003 to 2007 only about 40 percent of invasive colon cancers in Wisconsin were diagnosed at an early stage.
More Wisconsin residents die of colon or rectum cancer than either breast or prostate cancer. This year more than 2,700 people in Wisconsin are estimated to be diagnosed with colon cancer and more than 900 will die from the disease. Only lung cancer kills more people.
About half of all colon cancer deaths in the U.S. each year could be prevented if everyone age 50 and older were screened for colon cancer.
Colon cancer is one of only two cancers that can be prevented through screening. Colon cancer almost always starts with a polyp, which many times can be removed before becoming cancerous. The key to preventing colon cancer is to find it early; to understand your family's health history; and to talk to your doctor about when and how to get screened.
Most people should start getting tested for colon cancer at age 50, but people with a family history are at higher risk. You are at increased risk if you have a parent, sibling, or child who has had colon cancer or colon polyps. The risk is even higher if they were diagnosed before age 60. About 20 percent of all colon cancer patients have a close relative who was also diagnosed with the disease.

By CHRISTIN COYNE
ANNETTA – After months of efforts by nearby homeowners using the city's water system, the Annetta City Council Thursday night approved the annexation of hundreds of water customers south of the city.
Requested by more than 500 registered voters, more than 60 percent of those owning property in the unincorporated portions of the Deer Creek and Meadow Park subdivisions, the annexation nearly doubles the city's population, according to city leaders.
With little discussion Thursday night, the council voted 3-2 to adopt two ordinances annexing property south of the city. Council members Bruce Moore and Larry Wood voted against annexation.
The council voted twice on the measure Thursday night because the required attachments, including a map and service plan, were not initially included with the ordinances but the vote remained the same during the second vote taken after the meeting's executive session.
Last year, the city council declined to accept a petition requesting annexation but, after two new council members were elected in May, began the annexation process and held two public hearings after a second petition was submitted to the council in June.
After Deer Creek residents and other East Parker County cities took the City of Willow Park to court over ownership of the system, Annetta purchased the Deer Creek water and sewer system in 2010.
At the time, about half of Annetta's population was on the Deer Creek system but Annetta residents constituted a minority of the system's customers with two-thirds of the water system's customers located outside city limits.
A group of Deer Creek residents in Annetta's ETJ requested the annexation last year, citing a desire to participate in the election of the city council, the body governing the system.
Annetta South also released a portion of its own ETJ for the annexation of all the system's users to occur.
Some Annetta residents opposed the addition of the property to the city, citing concern the annexation would add responsibilities taxing the small town's limited resources.
Other residents supported the move, saying the subdivision residents already live in the community and the city would have additional control in the area.

Valpo Returns Home; Faces PNC Thursday
Related Links
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Valparaiso (1-1, 0-0 Horizon)
Game #3: Thursday, Nov. 18 - 7:05 p.m.
Purdue North Central (0-5)
Athletics-Recreation Center (5,000) - Valparaiso, Ind.
Next Up in Crusader Basketball: Valparaiso returns home Thursday evening and looks to get back on the winning track with a game against Purdue North Central. The game will be the last at home for the Crusaders before embarking on a five-game stretch on the road.
Last Time Out: Shooting 27.4% from the floor proved to be too much for the Crusaders to overcome Monday night, as Valpo fell 79-44 to #7/6 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. Valpo was within six points with under ten minutes to play in the first half, but an 18-4 Jayhawk run provided separation. Cory Johnson and Kevin Van Wijk each scored ten points apiece to lead the Crusaders, while Marcus (22 points, 11 rebounds) and Markieff (12 points, 13 rebounds) Morris each posted double-doubles for Kansas.
Following the Crusaders: Every game this season will be available on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, with Thursday's game broadcast live on WAKE (1500 AM, Valparaiso), WEFM (95.9 FM, Michigan City) and WJOB (1230 AM, Hammond). Todd Ickow is back for his 19th season on play-by-play, while Adam Amin will handle the color commentary Thursday. The live audio will also be available at www.valpoathletics.com, with live video through the Horizon League Network and live stats available through the official Crusader website as well.
Head Coach Homer Drew: One of only a handful of coaches at the Division I level coaching on a floor named in his honor, head coach Homer Drew is the seventh-winningest active coach in D-I men's basketball. Drew enters Monday's game with a 349-294 record in 21 seasons at the helm of the Crusader program and a 618-416 record in 32 years overall as a head coach.
Series Notes: Thursday night marks the first time that the Crusaders have faced Purdue North Central on the hardwood.
The Road Ahead: A five-game stretch on the road begins next Tuesday when the Crusaders travel to take on Ohio in the second game of the Las Vegas Invitational. Valpo will then fly out to Vegas to play Northern Colorado on Friday and either Bethune-Cookman or Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday.
Scouting Purdue North Central: The Panthers enter Thursday night's game, which will count as an exhibition contest on their schedule, with an 0-5 record this season, most recently falling 71-64 to Olivet Nazarene, which Valpo beat 93-58 in exhibition action. Jordan Wiseman led PNC against ONU with six 3-pointers and 20 points, and is one of four Panthers averaging in double figures in scoring this season, led by 13.4 points per game from Jordan Delks.
Taking On the Best: Playing a team ranked among the top-10 in the nation is nothing new for the Crusader men's basketball program. The Kansas game Monday marked the 11th time since the start of the 2006-2007 season that Valpo has faced off against top-10 teams (Marquette, Ohio State, North Carolina 3x, Butler 2x, Purdue 2x, Michigan State). Four of those games, the Crusaders played the top-10 foe to within 10 points, including twice when they had a shot to tie at the horn. In addition, Valpo had a stretch of five straight years from 2004-2009 when it took on the nation's top-ranked team in non-league action.
Home Dominance: Valpo has a total of 15 regular season home games scheduled at the ARC this year, one of the highest totals in program history for a program that has consistently dominated in front of its home fans. The Crusaders are 226-100 (.693) all-time at the ARC, including a 180-41 (.814) mark over the last 17 years at home. Valpo has also finished above .500 in each of the last 17 seasons at home.
Offensive Explosion...: The Crusaders lit up the scoreboard throughout their season opener against IU Northwest, scoring 59 first-half points and adding 52 second-half points. A short-range flip up and in by Cory Johnson with 5:49 to play put Valpo over the century mark as it utilized the third digit on the scoreboard for the first time since a 105-73 win over Longwood on Jan. 7, 2006. The 111 points matched the most the Crusaders have scored in the last 15 seasons as well.
Followed By Struggles: But Valpo's second game of the year, at #7/6 Kansas, wasn't quite so smooth on the offensive end. The Crusaders' 27.4% field goal percentage was their worst performance from the floor in at least a decade, while their two 3-pointers was the lowest since hitting just two treys against UMES Nov. 23, 2007. The 44 points was Valpo's lowest offensive output since Dec. 2, 2008 at Cleveland State (42).
Offense Leads the Way: The first performance of the year is probably more representative of the results to come this season, based on the way the Crusaders ranked atop the Horizon League in a number of offensive categories a year ago. Valpo paced the league with 73.2 points per game and also ranked atop the league charts in field goal percentage (.467) and 3-pointers made per game (7.7). The Crusaders ranked among the nation's top-50 teams in the latter two categories, as well as assists/game (15.0).
Valpo Tabbed Fourth in Preseason Poll: Valparaiso was picked to finish in fourth place in the Horizon League preseason poll conducted of the league's coaches, sports information directors, and media members. The Crusaders tallied 312 points in the polling. Butler, the reigning national runner-up and last season's regular season and tournament champions, was a unanimous selection atop the league standings. Detroit edged out Cleveland State as the second pick, while Milwaukee and Wright State were picked fifth and sixth, respectively. Green Bay, Loyola, UIC and Youngstown State rounded out the polling.
A Look Back at 2009-2010: Valparaiso improved throughout the 2009-2010 season, closing the year with 15 wins. The Crusaders went 10-8 in league play, finishing in a tie for fourth place in the Horizon League regular season standings. It marked the second time in Valpo's first three seasons as a Horizon League institution that it had finished in the top half of the standings.
A Lot of Production Returns: Having lost just one regular and three players in all from last year's squad, Valparaiso returns the vast majority of its production from last season. The 10 letterwinners, including four starters, who return for the Crusaders in 2010-2011 comprised 82.8% of the team's scoring and 91.2% of the team's rebounding from a year ago.
Wood Named Preseason First Team All-League: Redshirt junior guard Brandon Wood was one of five players named to the preseason Horizon League First Team All-League squad as announced in mid-October. Wood, the league's Newcomer of the Year and a Second Team All-League honoree in 2009-2010, led the circuit in scoring at 17.7 ppg a year ago, while his 565 total points tied for ninth-most in a single season in Valpo history. Also an NABC All-District 12 Second Team choice, he ranked among the league's best as well in 3-pointers per game (1.8, 6th) and free throw percentage (.813, 7th).
Johnson a Second Team Honoree: Fifth-year senior forward Cory Johnson also earned a spot on the preseason All-League Second Team after receiving Second Team and All-Newcomer Team honors last year in his first year with the Crusaders. Johnson averaged 15.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg a year ago, good for fourth and eighth among Horizon League players, respectively. He connected at a 55.6% clip from the floor, second-best in the league and 20th nationally, and hit better than half of his three-point attempts as well.
Oh Captain My Captain: The Crusaders will have a pair of captains for the 2010-2011 season. Cory Johnson and Howard Little will serve in the role, each for the second straight year.
Sun, Fun and Basketball: This year's Crusader squad got the chance to bond as a team with a preseason foreign trip to Cancun in August, the first time Valpo has taken advantage of the chance to take a preseason trip. The Crusaders got 10 days of practice in Valpo before taking off for Cancun with all 13 players, including newcomers Jay Harris and Kevin Van Wijk. While down in Cancun, Valpo won all four games, including a come-from-behind 102-84 win over Pioneros de Quintana Roo, which finished third in the 20-team LNBP last year.
Wood Leads the Way: Wood, who scored 20+ points 12 times in his first year as a Crusader, led the way for Valpo in the season opener against IU Northwest with 20 points in just 20 minutes. The redshirt junior also matched his career high with six assists, five of which came in the second half, and committed just one turnover. While Wood scored just nine points at #7/6 Kansas, hs tied for team-high honors with seven rebounds and also dished out a team-best four assists. He currently leads the Horizon League, averaging 5.0 assists/game.
Van Wijk Gets Aggressive: Sophomore Kevin Van Wijk was perhaps the best Crusader on the court against #7/6 Kansas on Monday. Van Wijk came off the bench to tie for team-high scoring honors with 10 points, the first double-digit effort of his career, in just 19 minutes of action.
No Sophomore Slump: Sophomore Ryan Broekhoff posted a stellar performance in the season opener against IU Northwest. Broekhoff hit 7-of-11 from the floor, including all five attempts inside the arc, for 18 points, matching the second-best effort of his career. The sophomore also grabbed six rebounds and tied his career high with three blocked shots.
Post Presence: Johnson is the only Crusader to reach double figures in scoring in each of Valpo's first two games. The fifth-year senior scored 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting in the opener against IU Northwest, and then tied for team-high honors with 10 points at #7/6 Kansas. Johnson also tied for the team lead with seven rebounds against the Jayhawks as well.
Now Boarding: Despite being just 6'3", senior Howard Little has been one of the Crusaders' best rebounders during his four-year career and showcased that again against IU Northwest. Little tied for game-high honors with eight rebounds, six of which came on the offensive end. The senior also scored 17 points on Friday, with four of his six baskets coming directly off of offensive rebounds. Little pulled down four rebounds as well at #7/6 Kansas and leads the Crusaders with 6.0 rebounds/game. His .636 field goal percentage also ranks fourth in the league.
A Helping Hand: The Crusaders tallied 29 assists on their 43 field goals in the season opener against IU Northwest, with a trio of players handing out six assists apiece, including the aforementioned Wood. Redshirt sophomore Erik Buggs registered six helpers, the second-best effort of his career in the category, to go along with four rebounds and three steals. Meanwhile, freshman Jay Harris also totaled six assists in his collegiate debut while also scoring nine points.
Crusaders Ink Edwards to NLI: Valparaiso men's basketball head coach Homer Drew announced Nov. 13 that Richie Edwards of Hillsborough [Fla.] C.C. has signed a National Letter of Intent during the early signing period and will join the Crusader program for the 2011-2012 campaign. Edwards, who will have two seasons of eligibility left when he joins the Crusaders, was a First Team All-Conference selection for the Hawks as a freshman, averaging better than 16 points and seven rebounds per game. A product of Lakeland H.S., he was named the Lakeland Ledger Player of the Year as a high school senior, leading his squad to the regional finals while posting 17.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per contest.
Quickly: Valpo pulled down 14 offensive rebounds as a team against the Kansas front line, led by three apiece from Johnson and Michael Rogers ... the Crusaders are averaging 16.5 offensive boards/game through two games ... Valpo currently leads the league in both assists/game (19.0) and assist/turnover ratio (1.7).

Congress to vote on $9.7 billion flood insurance package for Superstorm Sandy victims
WASHINGTON (AP) — A $9.7 billion measure to pay flood insurance claims is set for a vote in Congress, boosting prospects for relief for the many home and business owners flooded out by Superstorm Sandy.
If the House, as expected, approves the flood insurance proposal on Friday, the Senate plans to follow with a likely uncontested vote later in the day.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency warns that the National Flood Insurance Program will run out of money next week if Congress doesn't provide additional borrowing authority to pay out claims. Congress created the FEMA-run program in 1968 because few private insurers cover flood damage.
Northeast lawmakers say the money is urgently needed for storm victims awaiting claim checks from the late October storm, which was one of the worst ever to strike the Northeast, ravaging the coast from North Carolina to Maine, with the most severe flooding occurring in Atlantic City, N.J., New York City and Long Island and along the Connecticut coastline.
"People are waiting to be paid," said Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J., whose district includes Atlantic City and many other coastal communities hard hit by the storm. "They're sleeping in rented rooms on cots somewhere and they're not happy. They want to get their lives back on track and it's cold outside. They see no prospect of relief."
HealthBeat: Poll finds people split on gov't role in obesity but oppose limiting food choices
WASHINGTON (AP) — We know obesity is a health crisis, or every new year wouldn't start with resolutions to eat better and get off the couch. But don't try taking away our junk food.
Americans blame too much screen time and cheap fast food for fueling the nation's fat epidemic, a poll finds, but they're split on how much the government should do to help.
Most draw the line at policies that would try to force healthier eating by limiting food choices, according to the poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
A third of people say the government should be deeply involved in finding ways to curb obesity, while a similar proportion want it to play little or no role. The rest are somewhere in the middle.
Require more physical activity in school, or provide nutritional guidelines to help people make better choices? Sure, 8 in 10 support those steps. Make restaurants post calorie counts on their menus, as the Food and Drug Administration is poised to do? Some 70 percent think it's a good idea.
US hiring likely held steady last month even as White House, Congress battled over budget
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers likely kept hiring last month at a modest but steady pace, despite tense negotiations that pushed the economy to the brink of the fiscal cliff.
Economists forecast that employers added 155,000 jobs in December, according to a survey by FactSet. That would be slightly higher than November's 148,000. The unemployment rate is projected to remain at 7.7 percent.
Stable hiring would mean the job market held up during the talks between Congress and the White House over tax increases and spending cuts that were not resolved until the new year.
A trio of encouraging reports Thursday on private hiring and layoffs suggested companies did not panic last month, although the Labor Department report will offer a more accurate measure of how businesses responded to the uncertainty in Washington.
"Given that we have restraints, the labor market data do appear to be improving," said Dana Saporta, an economist at Credit Suisse.
New school offers fresh start for Sandy Hook children on 1st day back since Conn. massacre
MONROE, Conn. (AP) — Sarah Caron made her son his favorite pancakes for breakfast and walked the second-grader to the top of the driveway for the school bus.
"I hugged him a lot longer than normal, until he said, 'Mommy, please,'" she said. "And then he got on the bus, and he was OK."
It was 7-year-old William's first day of school since last month's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, and his mother tried to make the day as normal as possible. But it was harder than usual to say goodbye.
William was among more than 400 students who escaped a gunman's rampage that killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook on Dec. 14. On Thursday, the returning students settled in at their old, familiar desks but in a different school in a different town.
Students, teachers and administrators were met by a large police presence outside their new school in the neighboring town of Monroe, where a middle school that had been shuttered for nearly two years was overhauled and renamed after their old school. Several officers guarded the entrance and checked IDs of parents dropping off children.
Incarcerated veterans train service dogs for disabled vets in Md. maximum-security prison
CRESAPTOWN, Md. (AP) — Hazard Wilson's new cellmate is a hairy bundle of energy whose playful zeal can't be contained by steel doors: a five-month-old golden retriever. Yardley is one of three canines assigned since September to inmates at a maximum-security prison in western Maryland for training as service dogs for disabled military veterans.
The number of programs nationwide using inmates to train service dogs is growing, but the program at Western Correctional Institute might be the first to use incarcerated veterans to train dogs for other veterans.
Professional trainers say prison-raised dogs tend to do better than those raised traditionally in foster homes, because puppies respond well to consistency and rigid schedules. That's just what they get in prison.
It's not all work and no play.
"I just love to see him be a puppy," said Wilson, 53, serving a life sentence for first-degree murder. "We're putting them through some very stringent training — 90 percent of their time is training — so it gives me great joy just see them romp and roll around and be puppies."
India's top court to decide fate of India's cheap, generic drugs used by millions of poor
NEW DELHI (AP) — From Africa's crowded AIDS clinics to the malarial jungles of Southeast Asia, the lives of millions of ill people in the developing world are hanging in the balance ahead of a legal ruling that will determine whether India's drug companies can continue to provide cheap versions of many life-saving medicines.
The case — involving Swiss drug maker Novartis AG's cancer drug Glivec — pits aid groups that argue India plays a vital role as the pharmacy to the poor against drug companies that insist they need strong patents to make drug development profitable. A ruling by India's Supreme Court is expected in early 2013.
"The implications of this case reach far beyond India, and far beyond this particular cancer drug," said Leena Menghaney, from the aid group Doctors Without Borders. "Across the world, there is a heavy dependence on India to supply affordable versions of expensive patented medicines."
With no costs for developing new drugs or conducting expensive trials, India's $26 billion generics industry is able to sell medicine for as little as one-tenth the price of the companies that developed them, making India the second-largest source of medicines distributed by UNICEF in its global programs.
Indian pharmaceutical companies such as Cipla, Cadila Laboratories and Lupin have emerged over the past decade as major sources of generic cancer, malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS drugs for poor countries that can't afford to pay Western prices.
The new 'Jerusalem': An Arab and a Jew share a cookbook about the city they once knew
LONDON (AP) — Two London-based chefs with roots in Jerusalem one day. The next, poster boys for peace.
Such has been the reaction to "Jerusalem," a bestselling cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi, an Israeli, and Sami Tamimi, a Palestinian, built on their memories of a shared city and its delicious food.
"Regardless of all the trouble, food is always there," Tamimi said.
The men run gourmet delis and restaurants in London and have written an earlier cookbook together. They were known not for politics, but for saving some chic London neighborhoods from culinary boredom with Mediterranean-based recipes infused with fresh, exotic flavors.
That changed with the publication of "Jerusalem," as observers took note of their unusual partnership.
Venezuelan government: Chavez coping with severe respiratory infection after cancer surgery
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is being treated for "respiratory deficiency" after complications from a severe lung infection, his government said, pointing to a deepening crisis for the ailing 58-year-old president.
Chavez hasn't spoken publicly or been seen since his Dec. 11 operation in Cuba, and the latest report from his government Thursday night increased speculation that he is unlikely to be able to be sworn in for another term as scheduled in less than a week.
"Chavez has faced complications as a result of a severe respiratory infection. This infection has led to respiratory deficiency that requires Commander Chavez to remain in strict compliance with his medical treatment," Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said Thursday night, reading the statement on television.
The government's characterization raised the possibility that Chavez might be breathing with the assistance of a machine. But the government did not address that question and didn't give details of the president's treatment.
"It appears he has a very severe pneumonia that he suffered after a respiratory failure. It is not very specific," said Dr. Alejandro Rios-Ramirez, a pulmonary specialist in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, who is not involved in Chavez's treatment. "It does imply the gravity of his pulmonary infection that led to a respiratory failure. It doesn't mean yet that he is breathing with a machine."
Transocean's $1.4B settlement with Justice Department to pump millions into recovery projects
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A $1.4 billion settlement between the Justice Department and Deepwater Horizon rig owner Transocean Ltd. will pump hundreds of millions of dollars into projects designed to help the Gulf Coast recover from the nation's largest offshore oil spill.
U.S. Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana said the settlement announced Thursday will dedicate $800 million of the civil penalty and $300 million of criminal penalty to coastal protection and restoration work. Other settlement funds will support spill-prevention research and training.
U.S. Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana said he hopes it leads to "much bigger final action with BP, the main culprit in this horrible disaster."
BP PLC leased the rig from Transocean. It already has agreed to pay $4.5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to criminal charges.
Mass. writer's latest mystery: Where's Tessa his rescue beagle? Search attracts wide attention
BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — There's a new mystery on Dennis Lehane's mind, but the story isn't something the best-selling author can control from behind a keyboard.
The plot kicked off Christmas Eve, when the crime novelist's rescue beagle Tessa escaped from his yard after an outdoor gate latch didn't lock all the way.
Since then, Lehane's family has launched an all-out search. They've posted fliers, organized foot searches and used social media to try to bring Tessa back to their home in Brookline, Mass., near Boston.
The 47-year-old author of books including "Mystic River" and "Gone, Baby, Gone" is offering a monetary reward and has said he'll name a character in his next book after whoever finds Tessa.
Lehane said Thursday outside his home that he's surprised by the media attention the story has attracted, and thinks it has something to do with the character offer.

Report: Financial Sector Computer Virus Being Used to Spy on Governments
A new report suggests that a ring of hackers known as the 'Poetry Group' has begun attacking governments in at least four countries.
A mysterious ring of computer hackers has expanded the functionality of a popular Trojan designed to steal info from banking websites in order to conduct espionage on government computers in several countries, according to a new report released by McAfee, an antivirus company.
The ring, known as Poetry Group for their penchant for inserting lines of Shakespeare prose into their code, has infected several hundred government computers in Poland, Japan, Spain, and Sweden. It's unclear whether the group has successfully attacked any American government computers, according to Ryan Sherstobitoff, an analyst with the company.
Sherstobitoff says the group is unlikely to be affiliated or backed by any foreign governments and likely functions as a group of "for-hire mercenaries" who sell data.
[READ: U.S. Security Firm Alleges Massive Chinese Hacking]
"These are likely independent hackers hired by an unknown party. We don't know their origin, but because of the embedding of poetry, we think that they are of English-speaking descent," he says.
The group uses a piece of malware known as the Citadel Trojan, which caught the FBI's attention in August 2012 when it was used to hack into online bank accounts. Since then, Poetry Group has found a way to use the Trojan to access files on any computer running Windows. According to Sherstobitoff, the Trojan is available commercially in online black markets.
"They've extended functionality to steal virtually anything that is visually displayed on a computer and can [steal] any file stored on the system," he says. "They have the ability to penetrate these government systems using something that's available commercially."
[RELATED: Apple Says Macs at Its Offices Were Hacked]
President Barack Obama has put a renewed emphasis on stopping cyber attacks in recent weeks. The night of his State of the Union address, he signed an executive order that allows government agencies to share classified information pertaining to "cyber threats" with private companies that control "critical infrastructure" such as power grids, financial systems, and water supplies.
Earlier this week, a report by cybersecurity firm Mandiant suggested a group of hackers sponsored by the Chinese government has hacked at least 141 companies in 20 major industries. Sherstobitoff says McAfee's new data aligns with Mandiant's in that hacking groups are beginning to target their attacks more specifically, rather than trying to spam thousands of users at once.
"The threats are increasing and the code is becoming more targeted towards breaking into a specific sector," he says. "We're seeing way more targeted attacks and many fewer run-of-the-mill attacks" aimed at private users.

First, I have something to say, and this isn't even my own recipe. One reviewer literally changed just about everything in this recipe but, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and tweak after you give this a try at least once, as written. IMO it's that good, and I wouldn't change anything. That particular reviewer gave it 5 stars, but seriously, she wasn't reviewing this recipe, only her custom version. The selection of beans is interesting, eye appealing, and just tasty! I was a little concerned that the sauce might be too sweet for our taste, but it was the perfect blend. I love baked beans, have cooked them many different ways (including slow cooked), and I honestly can say that I don't think I've had better!
We served these beans to a crowd of 300 during a western themed theater dinner. The group was mostly senior citizens. We received oodles of compliments on the beans (the rest of the meal, too). We served these with baked ham, sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables, corn bread and biscuits. Great dinner-great beans. The staff enjoyed the left overs, too!!
Aren't butter beans and lima beans the same thing, just different names? I omitted the pork & beans and added great northern beans with a little paprika and onion powder, added 1/2lb beef, used turbinado sugar instead of brown, no garlic (didn't have any), used bbq sauce instead of ketchup, and dijon mustard instead of dry. Turned out great! I will definitely make this again.

Moose took some big hits to the head . Remember Machida knocked out his last victim with a kick that was blocked! Little boring from Machida but fun to watch how quick he is with that in and out knee

Classic Machida.
I was cheering for Mousasi, tough fight after a long layoff but that's the name of the game. Machida is very good at what he does.
Machida does not deserve to be in the title conversation yet. The good thing is that he'll probably randomly turn down the shot, and then complain about not getting a title shot.
I have not watched the Machida-Mousasi fight. I rooted for Mousasi, and I think that he can actually achieve good things in the UFC.
It is a big shame that he got injured and that he did not train with elite camps in the past. His talent is amazing and imagine what he could have done if he trained with an elite camp since the beginning.
I do not even know where he is training now (I want to believe that he is in "good hands"), but a couple of years ago he said that he was just training with his friends and never really had a serious training camp.
The fact that he lasted 5 rounds with a Top 3 fighter, after such a long layoff shows good things about him.
Anyway Machida may very well be the next 185 pounds champion.

Champagne Is a Place. Yes, like on a Map.
Champagne is a wine growing region in the north of France, near Épernay. Yes, we know that everyone calls sparkling wine "champagne," but it doesn't mean they're right (hey, we don't call every motorized car a Ford or every condom a Trojan). The region has been making wine since the Romans conquered and made it one of their playgrounds, but the technique of deliberately adding bubbles (via a controlled secondary fermentation in bottle to produce carbon dioxide) is a relatively new phenomenon—within the last 300 or so years. Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon probably didn't invent the stuff, by the way—in fact, he almost certainly was pulling his bowl-cut hair out trying to prevent accidental secondary fermentation from causing his wine to literally explode.
Nowadays, Champagne employs strict regulations on production and storage techniques, aging requirements (at least 15 months for nonvintage), grape varieties (usually a combination of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and labeling in order to protect the "brand" name that has become the standard-bearer for sparkling wine worldwide.
"I Got Dosed by You"
Champagne basically comes in two styles: vintage dated (in very good growing years) and nonvintage. Nonvintage doesn't mean plonk, it means consistency: it's a blend of several vintages, allowing producers to achieve a "house style" that constitutes over 90 percent of all Champagne sold. As for vintage Champagnes, they're often more complex, age-worthy and rarer, so if you want one, bring your wallet and make sure it's fat.
Otherwise, the big Champagne differentiator is the dosage level, shorthand for the amount of sugar added when the champers is topped up (to make up for the wine lost when yeasts left over from secondary fermentation are disgorged). Champagne's natural acidity is usually so high that some sugar is needed to balance it out and keep your mouth from totally puckering up, even with the driest of styles. For drier stuff, go with "Extra Brut" or "Brut." Things get a tad sweeter in the confusingly titled "Extra Dry" category, while "Sec" and "Demi-Sec" are often noticeably sweet. "Doux" can be beguiling but can also have you running for your toothbrush; serve it as dessert.
Forever Blowing Bubbles
Sparkling wine like Champagne contains CO2 in liquid form that wants to revert to a gas and turn into bubbles once it gets some air. The Champagne bubbles in your glass, however, are actually caused by friction between the Champagne and microscopic imperfections in and on the glass itself. Since the whole point of champers is the bubbles, you'll want to ensure you're drinking it from tulip-shaped glasses that haven't got any soap residue in them, which will inhibit the bubbly action.
Don't get too hung up on the stemware, though—just as Champagne makes any hookup feel like a major celebration, it will make even normal wine glasses feel elegant. Just avoid the wide-rimmed, cocktail "coupe" glasses—while it's totally hot that they might have been modeled after Marie Antoinette's boobs, they're too shallow to show off the visual and aromatic potential in a good Champagne. Focus on your date's "coupes" instead, okay?

Peaches Geldof
Daughter of musician/humanitarian Bob Geldof (he created Live Aid and Live 8) and the late Paula Yates, it's no wonder that Peaches always looks like the coolest girl at a concert. She goes from blonde to brunette in a heartbeat, always has unique accessories, and has stylish pals like Daisy Lowe (Gavin Rossdale's daughter) and Lily Allen (when they're not fighting). We hear she's even doing a line of jewelry for Topshop that incorporates African themes-a nod to her father's work.

The Norman Transcript
RHODES, Iowa — Oklahoma proved much better on day two of the Big 12 women's golf tournament. The only problem? Most of the rest of the field did, too.
Though the Sooners improved 29 strokes from one round to the next at The Harvester Club, they remain saddled in fifth place with 18 holes remaining.
Fourth-ranked OU came back from an opening 322 with a second-round 293. Still, at 615, the Sooners are still 10 strokes back of leader Baylor, nine stokes back of Oklahoma State and Iowa State and three strokes back of Texas Tech
The clear favorites entering the tournament, the Sooners will have to come on very strong today if they hope to repeat as conference champions.
Anne-Catherine Tanguay showed the way Saturday, improving 10 strokes to record a second-round 70. Reigning NCAA individual champion Chirapat Jao-Javenil improved from an 81 to a 73.
What OU really needs are a few huge performances. In Friday's first round, each Sooner shot 80 or 81. Saturday, the scores ranged from 70 to 76. A couple Sunday rounds in the 60s could go a long way.
Sooner coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell wants her team to stay the course.
"We played better today and made some putts," she said. "It was encouraging to see our scores improve. I'm proud of the way we hung in there and we just need to stay patient tomorrow."
Individually, Tanguay is in sixth place in the medalist standings.
Baylor's Lauren Taylor leads at 2-under par after rounds of 74 and 68, three strokes in front of Iowa State's s Punpaka Phuntumabamrung.
OSU's Julie Yang is in third place at 4-over par 148. Baylor's Hayley Davis and Texas' Bertine Strauss are tied in fourth place at 149.
In addition to Tanguay and Jao-Javenil, Kaitlyn Rohrback followed an 81 with a 74 for OU, Emily Collins followed an 80 with a 76 and Taylor Schmidt followed an 81 with a 76.

A Tale of Two Rookies: Harper and Dozier
by, 05-21-2012 at 08:01 AM (829 Views)
Twins Fan From Afar]
One player you probably have heard of since he was 15 years old. Between the prodigious 500 foot home runs as a teenager, the eye black that could be mistaken for war paint, and an ego big enough to handle a $6.25 million signing bonus, he came into professional baseball already anointed as "the chosen one." Despite putting up fairly pedestrian numbers in relatively short stints at AA and AAA, it was of little surprise that the Washington Nationals promoted him early in the 2012 season: they want to sell tickets and be successful, and there's little doubt that he is a long-term solution to both those issues.
The other player only fans of the Twins minor league system had heard of up until this past spring. He is a college graduate and was a 4-year starter on the Southern Mississippi baseball team, he's 25 and just getting his first taste of the big leagues, was an 8th round draft pick, and (mostly) flew under the radar until he was named 2011 Twins minor league player of the year. He's not flashy, does not hit 500 foot home runs, and from what I have seen, he does not even wear eye black. He's not view as the second coming of Babe Ruth, and he's not expected to permanently change the face of the Twins franchise.
But just for kicks, I thought it might be fun to do a side-by-side comparison of Bryce Harper and the Twins' new shortstop Brian Dozier. On paper, of course, they couldn't be less similar players: one is a power-hitting teenage outfielder that may hit 500 home runs in his career; the other is a solid middle infielder expected to hit for decent average and with moderate power. It's interesting, though, that both broke into the big leagues at almost the same time -- Dozier's first game was May 7; Harper's was April 28 -- and both were brought up to inject some life into their clubs. The point here isn't to compare Dozier and Harper to one another -- that would be senseless. Rather, I'm just comparing what they have done, in a similar time span, with what fans of both organizations might have hoped for or expected.
As of today, Harper has a .244/.333/.449 slash line with 2 home runs, 2 triples, 6 doubles and 7 RBIs. His OPS is .782. Dozier stands at .279/.292/.426 with 2 home runs, 3 doubles and 8 RBIs, with an OPS of .719. Just looking at those basic stats, a couple things stand out: first, although Harper "only" has 2 home runs, his ability to hit for extra bases is noteworthy. Second, it's not surprising that Harper is batting under .250 -- he hit .256 in 37 games at AA, and .250 in only 20 games at AAA. Yes, you're reading that right: he only played 57 games above A level minor league baseball before being called up. As I mentioned, his promotion was not solely merit-based.
With respect to Dozier, he has been as advertised: capable in the field, some power, and the ability to hit for a good average. In short, in the extremely small sample sizes, both players are performing pretty much like you might expect. Dozier has been good on defense, has hit for average, and has shown occasional pop; Harper's batting average is lower than it was at AA or AAA, but he has demonstrated that, when he does hit, the power is there.
It's funny that there is so much hype for one player, Harper, and the other, Dozier, will play this season in relative obscurity (it doesn't help Dozier's case that the Twins will be out of the national spotlight all summer). Yes, I do think that Harper will be an excellent major league player for years to come, and I also admit that I have enjoyed watching the way he hustles on the field 100 percent of the time. But this season, while ESPN is cutting into other broadcasts to alert us as to what great athletic feat (turning a single into a hustle double) or crazy behavior (hitting himself in the head with a bat) Harper is engaged in, I'll be content to watch a solid-fielding shortstop, who seems like a genuinely decent guy, who hopefully can anchor the Twins' infield for the foreseeable future.

Home About Us Media Donate Volunteer Sponsors Contact
In New York State and particularly New York City, some who are homeless manage to scrape together a meager living by collecting and redeeming others' discarded cans and bottles. This work has come to be known as "canning."
At present, however, canning is so demanding physically, demeaning emotionally, and even logistically complicated that many of New York's homeless are effectively barred from taking advantage of the opportunity.
The overall goal of Sure We Can is to remove the current hardships that come with canning, both for those who already use it as their means of survival and for those who would like to do so. To this end, we have founded the City's only licensed, homeless-friendly redemption center. At this Brooklyn site, we not only redeem recyclable cans and bottles, but we do so in a welcoming and community-building atmosphere.
SWC was founded by a small group of concerned New York City residents which included Eugene Gadsden and Ana Martinez de Luco, who were its inspiration. The organization not only provides opportunities for the City's destitute but also encourages their self-dependence and responsibility.
At its very core, Sure We Can is not just for canners. It is the canner community.

Music Festival Fashion
1. ALDO Sindorf Straw Hat ($18) in Ice
While daytime concerts are always a blast, they do have a potential downside: pesky sunburns! If you plan on staying outside all day, a wide-brimmed hat is an absolute must. This straw style by Aldo does the trick, especially since the neutral hue will go with just about anything you pack for the weekend! Plus, the wallet-friendly price tag makes us all the more eager to snag one pronto.
2. Organic Peroxide Punk Friends Bracelets ($60 each)
We never shy away from colorful jewelry, so naturally we were excited to come across these bracelets by Organic Peroxide. The metal accents add a fresh twist to the classic friendship bracelet design, and we love that each piece is custom-made, so they really feel one-of-a-kind. All in all, we think these energetic bracelets are the perfect accessories to accompany your easy-breezy ensembles. Order your own today by emailing email@example.com!
3. Gap Tie-dye Braided Crossbody Bag ($100)
When it comes to picking a handbag for your music festival of choice, a cross-body iteration is a no-brainer. Ideal for avid concertgoers darting from stage to stage, the convenient piece is the right size for stashing essentials and allows for hands-free dancing. This version by Gap is an especially outstanding option, as the tie-dye pattern gives it just a touch of hippie-chic, while the cobalt hue is in perfect keeping with this season's bright color trend.
4. Spitfire Babet Sunglasses ($38) in Orange
A festival outfit simply would not be complete without a killer pair of shades. We think this orange version by Spitfire is a must this year, thanks to its on-point vivid hue. Allow these bright sunnies to stand out with a neutral look, or go all out and style them with an equally vibrant ensemble. Either way, we promise you'll never want to take them off, even after the sun goes down!
5. TBA Debby Dress ($182) in Off-White
The scorching desert sun at Coachella calls for airy, fuss-free ensembles, which is why this crochet mini dress by TBA deserved a spot in our story. The short white frock is guaranteed to keep you cool and stylish despite the high temperatures, making it a real winner in our book.
6. Ksubi Alberceque Cutoff Shorts ($180)
A pair of denim cutoffs is a classic choice for any music festival, so we'd be remiss if we didn't include a stellar option in today's story. We think this iteration by Ksubi is a particularly great choice-distressed detailing definitely ups their cool factor! We have a feeling these short shorts will become a mainstay in your warm-weather wardrobe long after you head home!
7. D&G Billy Idol-Print Cotton-Jersey Tank ($155)
If your collection of tanks consists solely of solid colors, now's the time to test out a bold graphic option! We think this Billy Idol-emblazoned tank by D&G just begs to make an appearance at a fashionable festival, and would look great paired with denim cutoffs and bright sandals.
8. Florence Broadhurst for Kate Spade New York Nail Polish Set ($28)
What's the perfect finishing touch to your music festival attire? Brightly painted nails, of course! Featuring a quartet of striking shades, this Kate Spade New York polish set tops our list. Inspired by the late Florence Broadhurst-an Australian designer known for her lively wallpaper patterns--all four hues will complement any ensemble this season.
9. ace & jig Vermillion Boxy Baja ($228, 805.565.1253)
While you might not need an outerwear option for the day, nighttime sets call for light layers to guard against chilly temps. But not just any old topper will do, which is why we wholeheartedly recommend packing this version by ace & jig! It's a luxe interpretation of the classic Baja hoodie--perfect for embracing this season's sporty look--plus, the eye-catching color guarantees you stand out from the crowd.
10. Cheap Monday Kloss Horse Short Boots ($130)
Flip-flops and sandals are always go-tos when it comes to festival fashion, but why not toughen up your look a bit and opt for these Cheap Monday leather boots instead? We love the unique cutout detailing and think they would look fantastic paired with anything from denim shorts to a flirtatious dress. We also appreciate how the thick heel ensures your shoes don't sink into the grass, which, as any seasoned festivalgoer can tell you, is a major plus!--Erin Fitzpatrick
