Gray passed fit for Kiwi clash

Scotland's second-row Richie Gray has been passed fit ahead of their match with New Zealand on Sunday.
Gray has not played since Sale Sharks' Heineken Cup clash with Cardiff Blues on October 14 due to an ankle injury, but passed a fitness test after being named in head coach Andy Robinson's starting XV. Robinson said yesterday: "Richie has trained fully with us this afternoon and is in good spirits. He is raring to go for Sunday's match."
Scotland have been hit by a host of injuries, with Gray's the most troublesome of the named XV. The likes of Joe Ansbro and Chris Cusiter will miss Sunday's game and Robinson made a host of changes from the team that played the final match on their tour of the southern hemisphere in June.
But one man to keep his place in the side is Tim Visser. The Edinburgh flyer will make his Murrayfield debut for Scotland on Sunday after qualifying for residency in June. He scored two tries on his debut for the national side against Fiji and he is hoping that his stock continues to rise.
"In terms of challenges they don't come any bigger," Visser said. "I feel like my career has been steadily building up to this point and I'm now well prepared to go into something like this."

Could Justin Upton unite with brother in Atlanta?
Thursday it was reported Upton blocked a deal that would have sent him to the Seattle Mariners, leading many to wonder what would be next for the player.
Could he return to the D-backs, who tried to trade him, and be successful in 2013? Or, maybe, does the team have to make a deal -- any deal -- just to make sure there is no clubhouse drama.
Over on MLB.com they pondered that very question, and decided if Arizona feels forced to make a move, the Atlanta Braves would be a good fit.
After signing a five-year, $75.25 million contract with the Braves in November, B.J. Upton said that he and his younger brother, Justin, had discussed the possibility of playing together in Atlanta. Their hope was fueled by the fact that for the second time in a span of four months, there were rumors that the D-backs would be willing to trade Justin Upton.
While the Braves have been considered a potential suitor, they have not necessarily been considered a favorite to land Upton. But the scene was altered on Thursday night, when Upton rejected a trade to the Mariners and the Rangers reportedly decided they will no longer attempt to land the D-backs outfielder.
The story notes that whereas the Braves did not necessarily have the pieces to make a deal for Upton before, the D-backs have made enough moves to where they are now looking for something else in exchange for Upton. Should that be the case, Atlanta may now have something to offer, especially if the goal is to match what Arizona would have received from Seattle.
If the Braves were to present a comparable package, it would include Julio Teheran or Randall Delgado, Eric O'Flaherty or Jonny Venters, shortstop Nick Ahmed and likely either J.R. Graham or Zeke Spruill.
While the Braves would be interested in acquiring Upton, there is little reason to believe they would do so if the cost proves to be as significant as it would have been for the Mariners.
Upton hit .280 with 17 home runs and 67 RBI for the D-backs last season, but has posted MVP-caliber numbers in the past. He has hit 108 career home runs and driven in 363, and at 25 may have his best years still ahead of him.

Amy Winehouse has died at 27, but her music will go on forever. Record sales since her tragic and untimely death have skyrocketed proving that her songs and her extraordinary voice will live on without her in a big way.
Devoted fans, as well as those who may have never heard Amy sing before learning about her death on Saturday, are now rushing to buy her album, Back to Black, which was released five years ago in 2006.
According to Official Charts Company Director Martin Talbot, Winehouse's albums have increased 37-fold between the 24-hour period between Friday and Saturday.
"While Amy has already had an impact on the Official Charts, we would expect an even bigger impact to roll through over the coming days," said Talbot. "Such a demonstration of her popularity is the best tribute the British public can pay to this extraordinary British talent."
Clearly, songs written and sung by Amy Winehouse will continue to be snagged by those who love her music, as well as those who are curious about who she was and what everybody is talking about.
It is such a sad ending to the life of such an amazing singer who just couldn't seem to get past her addictions. Her incredible talent wasn't missed on anyone who heard her sing, including Tony Bennet.
"It had been my sincere hope that she would be able to overcome the issues she was battling and I send my deepest sympathy to her father Mitchell, her entire family and all of those who loved her," Bennett said.
Winehouse's Back to Black album earned her five Grammy awards in 2007. There is a reason why it is selling out again. It is just tragic Amy Winehouse had to die for it to happen and extremely sad she won't be able to complete any more albums and make any more music for the world to enjoy.

Suckling Cousin
I was excited on Thursday night to receive a message that someone had posted a comment on this blog. I was even more excited to know that it wasn't Dad. It seems that I may have found my first cousin since beginning my genealogy search in the spring. Neil says that he is the great great grandson of John Elvey Suckling and Caroline Rice. He also says that one of them (I'm not sure which) is related to Lord Nelson, an officer in the Napoleonic wars. I am so excited to find what else he can add to my family history. Unfortunately, he only left his phone number and it is too expensive for me to call England from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Hopefully he will see this post and leave me his email instead. I can't wait.

By Scott Scanlon – Refresh Editor
The space is mostly open at the Applied Sciences Group office on the Calspan campus in Cheektowaga. An organizational chart with dozens of potential software design scenarios sits above two white boards in the conference room, which also contains a projector and teleconferencing system that helps this 42-person company serve clients from across the country.
Paul Buckley is the maestro here. The 57-year-old Elma resident – who holds degrees in biochemical and systems engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy – became president of ASG in 1996, three years after the company was founded.
"Back then, mainly we were doing software development for the manufacturing industry; writing the software that controls the machines that make the products," he says. "Praxair was a big client, Emerson Controls up on Grand Island. Parker International and many that have long since closed their doors in this area.
"We recognized with the downturn in manufacturing that we had to diversify or die."
Learn more about Buckley Saturday in WNY Refresh, in my "In the field" story.
Meanwhile, I was struck by the workflow chart at ASG. The company helped developed a "smart pill" that is swallowed by a gastrointestinal patient and can record information as it travels through a patient's digestive tract. The information can help diagnose a host of problems, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Crohn's disease.
When I asked Buckley to walk me through the process he and his staff used to develop the software, he took me into the conference room to show me pictorially, using a project flow chart above the white boards.
Here's what he said:.
We have an engineering process that is quite formal. It has to be to in order to be a high-quality system. We ask a bunch of questions and follow a series of steps. The first quarter of this (chart) is sales; you have to understand what a client wants and repeat it back to them so you know you're both on the same page, the formulation of what we're going to do – the what – the requirements. That's first.
The next portion is the organizational aspects. We just got done with the whats, now we're going to worry about the hows. How are we going to architect this? What kind of processors do we need? How much computing power do we need? How much speed do we need? Are there any user requirements? Do they want it in blue or in green? How are we going to do that?
That's kind of the middle portion of it, along with the organizational aspects.
We create a binder that stores all the information and make a database for ourselves that stores all of the code. That's the design aspect.
Then you get into software development. It's the middle portion. Basically, you start creating specifications and you get the people on the computers to actually program them and create the software that's going to run the equipment.
Then you get into the tests and scenarios, make sure that you can formulate tests that confirm that you have covered all the requirements and that you're doing so successfully, that there are no errors.
Then, finally, there's a post-delivery review to make sure there's no bugs and if there are you have to correct them. So there's a trouble-shooting stage.
There's also a lot of little pieces that go in there. There's a lot of meetings. You see the red (on the chart): Meet, meet, meet, meet. There's a lot of meetings involved to make sure you're always on the same page with the client. You've also got the politics, the corporate layers, the finance layers, the legal layers.
It's all of those things. You have to be aware of them.
You have to have a rich background to work in the software field. What would that include?
The knowledge of how to use the system. The formal term is 'use cases.' You've got to understand and be able to formulate use cases. You have to understand the trade-offs of any engineered product. Trade-offs include everything from the cost of how to develop the product to the politics involved to your market spaces. There's a lot of pieces to that.
You have to be disciplined, so you have understand the quality process, the rigor that goes into a quality piece of software.
What sort of educational background is important?
Certainly a bachelor's degree is required, minimally. Computer science degree is good, as is an engineering degree, electrical engineering. Probably two-thirds of our staff are either CS or engineering. An MBA is useful. Any other degree are icing on the cake, as far as I'm concerned. We do have a couple mechanical engineers, one biologist, a couple business degrees, one sociology, one psychology, finance, physics.
What market spaces are you in?
When we looked at major market spaces, we came up with automation, biotech, municipalities, embedded software – which is essentially the software that runs inside little, tiny computers that are sort of invisible, transparent to users. For example, microwave ovens, the voice of a Fisher Price toy. Just about every device you have today has software inside of it. That's the embedded software. Medical devices would be embedded software.
So the market space is essentially automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, medical, military, municipal, energy, non-automotive industrial, retail and commercial. That covers pretty much everything but financial.
What goes into writing a software program?
Oh boy. All software programs generally do the same thing: They read some sort of inputs, they process those inputs and they output something.
How did you become involved in smartphone and mobile apps?
The VA one is a mobile application that is meant to optimize the ability to get information from homeless veterans. It was a two-step process, with agents going out with clipboards to get information and going back to the office and typing it into a database. We eliminated the two-step process for a one-step process by going with an iPad to the VA database. That is an agent facing
application. The only people who have access to that information are VA employees. That is not a user facing application. We've also used user facing applications which also allows veterans to be able to more easily track their prescriptions.
The New Era cap one was a down-time issue. The people who work on the manufacturing floor mainly work on sewing machines and those machines can break down for one reason or another. They needed a quick way to service those machines so people weren't sitting there idle. So we came up with a methodology that used remote applications and tablets for those to tap on a tablet and say they were down and why they were down and maintenance staff could find where they were and quickly get there to fix the machine.
What's it like living in the Southtowns?
Other than not knowing my way around anyplace north of Walden Avenue, I love it. Growing up in Holland, I was used to those areas to begin with, and (living in) Elma was a great compromise to the point of I wanted the open spaces, my wife (who's from Kenmore) and I wanted to participate in outdoor activities, but it wasn't so rural that she was uncomfortable with it.

Will mistletoe harm my trees?
Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows in a wide range of host trees. It is spread by birds that rub the sticky berries off their beaks onto tree limbs or pass them through droppings. Seeds that are spread in February and March may stick long enough to sprout. The plant attaches to the tree by a root-like appendage that sinks into the limb seeking water and nutrients.
Biologists and organic growers alike agree that a mild infestation will not harm an otherwise healthy tree; however, the growth of mistletoe over the years will weaken the branch and may cause it to break. In an unhealthy tree, mistletoe can reduce the growth rate and may eventually kill the tree.
There are hundreds of species of mistletoe. Some are poisonous, while others have therapeutic and environmental value. As a result, it appears frequently throughout history. Celtic tradition quotes it as a remedy for barrenness in animals and an antidote for poison. Europeans used it as a common treatment for epilepsy and nervous disorders. The traditional Christmas kiss under the mistletoe was first seen in Christian tradition in the 16th century.
In North America, the dwarf variety has a densely branching mass that suggests the popular name "witches brooms." The Navaho call it the "basket on high." In a recent study, it was discovered that more than 240 species of birds nest in mistletoe. Another study suggests that berry-producing shrubs and trees are actually more prolific when mistletoe is present, and today it is used in cancer treatment.

In law school years ago, my business associations professor gave us advice I have never forgotten. Never go into business with family, he warned. It makes for a very bad Thanksgiving dinner.
In the years since, I have seen the wisdom of his advice on several occasions, both in my personal life and as a practicing attorney. However, his admonition is not always true. Some family businesses and their personal relationships thrive.
Family businesses are often capable of pulling together in ways that unrelated owners cannot. Especially during economic downturns, family businesses may benefit from the strengths of their personal relationships.
But maintaining solid family relationships while operating a business is not always easy. What makes a family business successful? What legal steps might family businesses take to ensure continued success?
Owners of a family business usually have a long, complex history (sometimes referred to as baggage) that they bring into their everyday business decision-making. Sometimes even the distant past colors family business decisions in unanticipated ways. Effective communication stating needs and expectations and listening to others can be critical. If good communication is too difficult to manage alone, counselors trained in family dynamics can help families create good habits and diffuse challenging situations.
Legally, family businesses can also take certain steps to ensure continued success, especially in times of transition. Prenuptial contracts are often a good option for family business owners who have plans to marry. A prenuptial agreement can safeguard the continued prosperity of the business by establishing that only one spouse owns that particular asset, which removes it from the marital estate.
A shareholder or partnership agreement between family owners is also a good idea. First, it might address whether and how much family owners will be compensated. Many family business experts suggest that the financial benefit of being an owner should be treated separately from the financial benefit employees receive for working for a business, at least if only some members of the family work as employees. This structure can help to avoid feelings of unfairness that might arise if one member does the lions share of the work but all members, even those who do no work at all, receive the same financial rewards.
The agreement should also address succession. A buy-out provision ensures that ownership of the business will stay within the family by requiring an exiting partner to sell his or her interest to those who remain rather than to an outsider. It should also contain a fair method of valuing the departing owners interest in the company. (Insurance policies are typically purchased to supply the buy-out proceeds in the event that one owner dies.)
Finally, if the company grows large enough, franchising individual stores might be a smart way to help individual family members by giving them a chance to go it alone in an already proven business and strengthen the family legacy in the process.
Each of these business arrangements is complex and must be put in writing. Consulting with a competent attorney is important.

Food Bank currently distributes around 21 million pounds of food per year.
Within recent years, the Pittsburgh Community Foodbank has experienced a reduction in food distribution efficiency. While the Foodbank works well to acquire, transport, and deliver goods to distribution centers, their member agencies were constrained by several factors, such as staff, agency leadership, and hours of operation. Thus, we hypothesized that member agencies served as bottlenecks in the food distribution process and created a Member Agency Assessment Tool (MAAT) that evaluates the efficiency of Food Bank member agencies based on order placement, storage of Foodbank goods, inventory processing, and distribution.

Venture Outdoors is a local non-profit organization working to make it easy for people to get outside. They offer over 500 Public Programs a year including kayaking, hiking, biking, rock climbing, snowshoeing, fishing, cross country skiing, canoeing and geocaching trips. They have activities for all ages and skill levels, and travel to local, city, county and state parks around the region.
The Pittsburgh based non-profit organization for outdoor recreation wanted to involve more college students in their programs. The organization wanted an efficient pricing strategy for their programs for their different customer base as well as hold customers accountable to their commitments. Our team developed a tiered pricing strategy, differentiating between regular and specialty programs, for which we found they could charge a premium of 25%. We also identified inefficiency in managing data of customers attending events/ programs, which resulted in difficult of holding customer accountable to their commitments. Therefore, our team's deliverable provided steps to implement a membership system where members can have an account and would have to make reservations through the membership account allowing us to track their involvement over time.

The Human Face of Big Data: Pulse of the Planet
The Human Face of Big Data: Pulse of the Planet
By Esther Dyson
After more than 50 years, the Computer Age as we've known it is ending. And what will replace it—perhaps we'll call it the Informatics Age—will be a kind of Copernican Revolution in knowledge.
That is, humans will no longer be the center of the data solar system, with all of the billions of devices orbiting around us, but will rather become just another player, another node, in an increasingly autonomous data universe.
Yet there's more to come … that is, more to be done. Today's Big Data tools, stunning as they are, are only the beginning. We have learned over the last century just how difficult it is to model the natural world. We make models using only the data we have collected; what are we missing?
Just as the ancients missed microbes, so did we miss solar flares until more recently. Once we included them, we got a little bit better at weather prediction.

Are you a 501c3: No but SOI DOG the rescue shelter is
Additional Info/situation: SOI DOG in a nonprofit dog rescue in Thialand. Someone dumped and English Bully at the airport who got attacked and infested with maggots. He needs to get to the states and their only flight for him goes to LAX. I have rescued dogs for 26 years and the last 5 dedicated to the bullies with out assistance or funding. SOI Dog and I are hoping to find someone who can get Church Hill from LAX to PGH International or another city close to Piitsburgh and or Indianapolis, Ind. I understand private pilots may only fly several hundred miles. Even if I could have several coorindate to get him to the pittburgh or even the Midwest to Indianapolis where I can go pick him up. Once knowing if this is possible, we can figure logistics as to when Church Hill can arrive and try coordinate with any volunteers' schedules. It is possible to plan ahead as there may be a flight volunteer coming from the Phuket area willing to bring Church Hill as "assisted Baggage" in two months, to LAX, which will defray flight costs from Thialand However, would like to get him to USA sooner as he needs to get to a home with A/C with good medical care. The cost is $1500 to fly him to LAX unaccompanied. Trying to raise the money for that now, unless any international pilots see this post and can help with that.
If a fligth is possible from LAX to Pittsburgh or city within drivng distance of Pittsburgh please contact me and I will try to coordinated dates etc.. with SOI Dog volunteers. This guy really needs to get to the states to a home. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank You, Sue (724) 263-8963

The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association will soon have the NCAA Division II football national championship played in its own backyard.
On Wednesday, the NCAA announced that Sporting Park in Kansas City, Mo., will soon be the host of the Division II title game. The home of Sporting Kansas City — a Major League Soccer franchise — will host the D-II title game starting in 2014 and running through 2017.
"We are excited that the NCAA and the governing sports committees have recognized that Kansas City will provide a great experience for the student athletes, coaches and fans that will travel here over the next few years," Kansas City Sports Commission CEO Kathy Nelson said. "The MIAA has the expertise, commitment and passion to host these Championships and we look forward to working with their staff on these events."
The move to Kansas City gives the MIAA possible homefield advantage in the biggest game of the season. This year's Division II playoff field is down to four teams and one currently still alive is Northwest Missouri State — which is less than two hours from the Bearcats' home in Maryville, Mo.
The Division II national championship has been held in Florence, Ala., the last 26 years and was a candidate to retain the title game. Kansas City also beat out Bentonville, Ark., as a possible host site.
In addition to national championship football, the MIAA and Kansas City will welcome the Division II men's and women's national soccer championships to Swope Park in Kansas City in 2016 and 2017.
"We are thrilled that we can partner with the Kansas City Sports Commission to bring these Division II national championship events to Kansas City," MIAA Commissioner Bob Boerigter said. "Our MIAA members are excited about the possibility of watching MIAA teams play for national championships in these outstanding venues and we are confident student athletes that participate here will have a first class national championship experience."
Other regional locations to land postseason hosting honors on Wednesday included:
- ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, which will host the Division II softball national championship in 2015. It will host the Division III title series in 2017 and 2018.
- The Case Tennis Center in Tulsa will host the Division I men's and women's tennis championships in 2016.
Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City will host this season's Division I national wrestling championships. However, it won't host again until 2019 with future venues such as St. Louis (2015 and 2017), New York City (2016) and Cleveland (2018).

When Hurricane Sandy left parts of Cheshire and the state without power in October, Pat Bowman sent an email to his customers to make sure they had his cell and home telephone numbers.
Knowing folks might urgently need supplies like gas cans, batteries and sump pumps, the owner of Cheshire's R.W. Hine Ace Hardware store said he wanted to be available even if the phones were down or the store was closed.
"If current conditions allow safe travel we will try to accommodate your needs by meeting you at the store," he wrote in the email.
Bowman, owner of the store for more than three decades, said he just wanted to help his customers during a difficult time. But he also believes that without that kind of commitment, a small store like his could never compete with big box retailers.
"I think that's why we survive," said Bowman. "The day we don't bring a service to the people of Cheshire where they want to buy from us, we go away."
One of the oldest businesses in Cheshire, the hardware store was founded in 1910 by Raymond Walter Hine at the Maple Avenue site where it still does business today.
The store has expanded several times through the years but still has an old-fashioned, mom-and-pop feel. It has gone through different owners, but has always been a family business. The Bowman family has been
running it for 34 years.
The store was among several businesses profiled in a textbook written by Cheshire residents David T. Cadden and Sandra L. Lueder that will be used to teach college students about successful entrepreneurs.
Bowman said the customers are a big reason for the store's staying power.
"The people of Cheshire really own Cheshire and they like to support their community, whether it's a hardware store, restaurant or any of the other small businesses in town," Bowman said. "Everything we sell can be bought someplace else, whether it's online or in another store. People in
general like to keep their money in the community."
In addition to tools and hardware, the store sells lawn and garden products, housewares and seasonal items. "Obviously the Christmas Shop is busy this time of year," Bowman said.
The store, which is a member of the ACE Hardware cooperative, also provides services like paint matching, duplicating keys and filling propane tanks, and rents myriad power tools and lawn equipment items. It carries brands such as Weber, Scotts and Benjamin Moore paint.
Hine's is also known for its tradition of hosting Santa. This year, Santa is scheduled to visit the store on Dec. 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Though it doesn't have LTE and takes unimpressive photos, the LG Optimus L90 remains a worthy midrange contender that you should look at if you're on a budget.
The Office for iPad apps are a great middle ground between desktop and smartphone versions, and are a must-have for frequent Office users.
Pricing not available
Sporting a 4.7-inch touchscreen, Android 4.4.2 KitKat, and a quad-core processor, the LG Optimus L90 is an affordable mid-tier handset for T-Mobile.
The HTC One M8 Google Play Edition will fulfill the dreams of Android fanatics seeking to pair top-notch hardware with a Nexus-style KitKat experience, so long as they're willing to pay a premium.
With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a more compact form. If style is of the utmost importance, it's worth checking out, but the Moto G is much better value.
The HTC Desire 610 may be affordable, with an iPhone 5C-style plastic body, but its mediocre specs and poor screen resolution mean it's still not a good buy. For much less money you can grab the 4G Motorola Moto G, which has the same processor, Android KitKat software and a higher resolution display.
Sure, it doesn't have the latest Android software on board, but if you're after a good-looking HTC phone with powerful speakers and 4G LTE for speedy data downloads, the Desire 601 is an affordable option to consider.
Pricing not available
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II has some solid capabilities and a standout lens, but the overall experience just doesn't live up to its price.
The Samsung LTE Mobile HotSpot Pro's superfast 4G LTE speed and exceptionally long battery life make it a great buy on its own, but its juice pack feature sweetens the deal that much more.
Unless you need a great deal on earbuds, there's no reason to buy the HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition.

RALEIGH — Robin Simontons fascination with cemeteries springs from more than one well.
Walking among headstones at Historic Oakwood Cemetery, she notes their ever-changing symbolism: a single finger pointing heavenward, a cut-off tree with a branch for each family member.
She cites the people themselves, whether well- or lesser-known, such as the man who survived going over Niagara Falls as a child, or the daughter of a conjoined twin. And then theres the landscape, including rolling hills, stone arches and butterflies circling graveside flower bushes.
While thoughts at this time of year often turn toward the macabre, Simontons year-round passion is bringing people into the world of the dead that has transfixed her since childhood.
Since taking over as director at Oakwood two years ago, she has fostered public interest in the site through a long and surprising parade of initiatives, from college courses to romance-themed tours, brass bands to discussions of mortality.
A historian by training, Simonton says shes trying to bring back the tradition of cemeteries as gathering places that existed before public parks were common.
This is where couples would come to court, and where families would come for picnics, says Simonton, 38. These have been social centers in the past and should still be. We love and enjoy life here because these people cant anymore.
These days, Segway tours and joggers roam the cemeterys narrow roads. Last week, a group of home-schoolers made rubbings of Confederate graves, planning to look the soldiers up at the state archives. On another side of the 102-acre property, a couple stood silently side by side before a grave.
Simonton has encouraged all such visitors, and has also taken the museum on the road in lectures at book clubs, churches and museums about different parts of its history.
Thad Woodard, director of the nonprofit cemeterys board, says Simonton has made the historic site into a vibrant destination befitting both its central location in a renewed downtown and its long history.
Robin has led us to the point of Oakwood celebrating life as much as remembering those who went before us, says Woodard, whose parents and grandparents are buried at Oakwood. I did not have any inkling of the different ways that this place could be put into motion. All of that has just been Robins creativity, which is unlimited.
Interest from the start
Simonton grew up in a small town outside Chicago, Downers Grove, which had a historic cemetery right on Main Street. As a child, she would wander through the graves of the towns founding fathers while her mother ran errands downtown.
If she had to go to the bank, I would go to the cemetery, Simonton says. If she had to go shopping, there I would be again.
She earned a degree in history at the University of Hawaii a school she chose years before graduation for its far-flung locale and exotic culture. While there, she helped research a local cemetery; later, she would research Amish burial practices.
She worked as a grant writer and a field director for the Girl Scouts before returning to school to earn her masters degree in historical administration.
She worked at historic homes and helped develop historical programs for Jekyll Island in Georgia. But after graduation, she was back at the Girl Scouts.
The organization brought her to North Carolina, where she rose to a position managing several departments for the North Carolina Coastal Pines chapter. She also started giving tours at Oakwood as a volunteer.
When the position as director at Oakwood came open, her background in history and her experience in nonprofit management made her a good fit. She loved the Scouts, but she couldnt resist Oakwood.
Mothers Day tea
Founded in 1869, Oakwood holds more than 22,000 graves, including those of nearly 1,500 Confederate veterans and hundreds of state luminaries.
Tours there have long emphasized particular parts of its historical significance, such as tours of governors graves. The Sons of Confederate Veterans conducts a lantern tour close to Halloween; Simonton will be there in period dress this year.
But Simonton has worked to bring in new groups and ideas. She created a nondegree course for N.C. State University that focuses on topics such as famous women in history and conducted a Mothers Day tea near the grave of a woman who co-founded the holiday, with the deceaseds relatives participating.
The museum now has an app with locations of graves and histories of their inhabitants and conducts First Friday evening tours much of the year. Two movies were filmed there this summer.
Last month, Simonton organized the Death Café, a symposium on death itself at the cemeterys mausoleum. In November, the Moravian Brass Band will play at an event to commemorate All Saints Day.
Current projects include creating a tour of sites where the namesakes of local schools are buried, and an art competition focused on creating urns.
She gets inspiration from other cemeteries nationwide and has connected with several directors at other throughout the South to help her with her work. She is also editor of an online journal for cemetery buffs called Graveyard Rabbits.
Her outreach both puts the sites beautiful grounds to use and serves to remind people that it is an active cemetery, expected to have 200 years worth of burial space open to anyone.
And although she is eager to attract interest, Simonton is quick to point out that its main purpose is still as a resting place. In fact, her exuberance for her outreach efforts aside, she says 90 percent of her job involves selling funeral plots and working with families of the deceased when it comes time to use them.
The cemetery averages five burials a week, and Simonton attends nearly all of them. For all her colorful personality, she wears gray and black suits to work every day. She concedes she must walk a fine line in attracting people to visit in a respectful way.
You dont want anyone to ever think that youre exploiting their loved ones, she says.
The business of running a cemetery also means keeping up with trends. For instance, Simonton has worked to expand its memorial options for people who choose cremation, which is becoming more popular.
She doubts that the trend will spell the end of the cemeteries she loves.
These are places that for generations people can come and see that you lived, that you existed, she says. I would hate it if 100 years from now people didnt put their loved ones names in stone.

Mineral Wells Index
By Chris Agee | email@example.com
Aric Kram and John Berry celebrated their move to a historic building downtown Tuesday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Kram, of Kram and Associates PC, said he moved his pubic accounting firm to the location in September but had been renovating the property since June.
He and his wife, Mindy, both certified public accountants, said they were pleased to be a part of downtown.
Kram also expressed his excitement in working with Berry, a certified financial planner and owner of Corner Post Financial Planning.
"Both of our professions are very old professions," Kram said, which inspired their decision to keep the building in as close to its original state as possible.
"They don't build structures like these anymore," he said.
Kram said Berry moved his business into the building about a month after him, adding the two professions "compliment each other very well."
Berry agreed, saying Kram has been "a real resource for me so its nice to have him around the corner."
Both Kram and Berry said they have been operating locally since 2006 and see their move to downtown as an important transition.
"I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to move into this building," Berry said, adding that, as the only certified financial planner in the county, he is glad to work with an ally such as Kram.
Kram explained the renovations he oversaw for the building, which was built in 1904 and has housed several businesses over the years, including Marsden Shoe Store.
He said the renovation began with not much more than a shell of a building and his attempt was to "keep it to its original character as much as we could."
Exposed brick in the walls and the original tin ceiling are two of the major touches he said signal the historic value of the building, though he noted many other features, including electric, plumbing and air conditioning were all replaced with new components.
Finally, he said, local artist Perri Leavelle has several of her works on display, which brings a new dimension to the space.
"People have to come see it, take a look at it, and if they want it they can contact her and she can either make them a piece or they can buy one of her other artworks out here," he said.

I write from the left on politics and policy.
Under the heading of "it's not over until it's over", the United States Supreme Court has vacated a decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, ordering the appellate court to hear arguments on the constitutionality of two key provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
The two issues, which could lead to yet another SCOTUS review sometime during the 2013-2014 court session, involve a challenge to the employer mandate—requiring that employers with 50 or more full-time employees provide health insurance to its workers or pay a fine—and the contraception mandate requiring that health care benefits include a contraceptive benefit without the need for a co-pay.
The Court's ruling was in response to a request by Liberty University—the Christian educational institution founded by Reverend Jerry Falwell—to force the 4th Circuit to give the university its day in court after the 4th Circuit dismissed the action last year, refusing to hear substantive claims and arguments in support of Liberty's position. The 4th Circuit's reasoning for tossing the case was grounded in the Anti-Injunction Act—the tax law that requires that a tax actually be paid before a challenge can take place. While this was one of the issues raised in this year's challenge to Obamacare before the Supreme Court, SCOTUS quickly disposed of this as an issue that would have prevented the case from moving forward, thereby allowing the Supremes to get into the more substantive issues.
Liberty's employer mandate claim is based on the argument that Congress overstepped its constitutional boundaries with respect to this provision of Obamacare. The university additionally is arguing that requiring it to provide the contraceptive benefit violates its right to freely exercise religion.
Interestingly, the Obama Administration chose not to challenge the effort by Liberty to get the case before the 4th Circuit, noting that the issues raised by the university had not been adjudicated by the Supreme Court in its landmark decision.
However, the administration's lack of concern might have more to do with the fact that the 4th Circuit is one of the most liberal appellate courts in the nation and had sent signals during the initial action that they would be more likely than not to side with the Obama Administration on the issues raised by Liberty had they decided to actually hear the case.
Were Liberty to succeed in its lawsuit, a major part of the Affordable Care Act—the employer mandate—could be cut from the law. Further, the controversial requirement involving contraception would be placed in doubt. While a victory by Liberty is unlikely at the appellate level, a loss by Liberty—and it's co-appellants—would likely bring a request that the U.S. Supreme Court take up the matter during next year's session.
While many legal scholars expect that SCOTUS would be reluctant to jump back into the Obamacare fray—particularly given the fact that the law would be in full effect by the time the Court would likely get to the matter late in the 2013-2014 session— a decision to hear the matter would present Chief Justice John Roberts with an opportunity to square his credentials with conservatives who have yet to forgive his initial Obamacare ruling.

"…there is nothing in the law that will tell doctors how to heal their patients"? Maybe so, maybe not. But one thing is an undeniable fact – by mandating that everyone have health care or pay a penalty is nothing more than the government's ever exapanding ability to control the private choices made by individuals about their own bodies – all in the name of fairness. The government now has the authority to control virtually every part of my personal life – what I eat, what I drink, whether I exercise, the activities that I engage in – anything that effects my health. After all, why should I be allowed to make unhealthy choices that will thereby burden everyone else in the system? It will start out as "surcharges" attached to certain choices, like it already does for indoor tanners. That alone is a loss of freedom. But it won't stop there. And why should it? Why not help the system even more by prohibiting certain "unhealthy" behavior like BigMacs, sodas? Why not further help the system by mandating that each individual excercise at the gym at least "x" amount of hours a week?
Before Obamacare the government did not have the authority to penalize and/or mandate such choices (freedoms). If you agree that this loss of freedom is a necessarily evil to assuring every citizen health care, fine. But it would be intellectually dishonest to say that wanting the government to have total control over such personal choices is keeping with the liberty traditions of this country. What Ray Downen wants is a country where those traditions continue. You apparently don't. There is the difference. While you may be a "patriot" of the America you seek we are "patriots" of the America that was. We want no part of your vision.
First, if I offended you I apologize. It was neither my intent to be "dramatic" or offensive. I'm not sure what qualifies my post as a "speech" but that wasn't intended either – I am a Chief Public Defender in Georgia and so I have a sore spot anytime I see the government expanding its authority over individuals.
My desire to keep America as it was is qualified in my post as being within the context of "liberty traditions". That is to say, the traditions of personal freedoms this nation has stood for. To the extent America has ever failed to live up to that standard, I oppose (to child labor you could have added slavery, second-class citizenship to women, treatment of Native Americans, etc.). To say that since I value the America that was I must necessarily cling to every past sin we committed is a straw man argument and unworthy of you as a contributor to Forbes. Do you support child labor laws because you support Obamacare laws?
Moreover, because I oppose the mandates of Obamacare does not mean that I am required to support or defend every previous and current mandate the government imposes. Obamacare did not create government overreach, it only adds to it. And, incidently, no one is required to drive a car or else pay a penalty for not doing so.
Like the inexcusable examples you mentioned, Obamacare does not fit within the liberty traditions this country has, at least officially, stood for. It puts everyone in the same bowl, thereby giving government the authority to dictate such personal choices I mentioned. I did not say the government currently controls decisions about what I eat, etc. I said, correctly, that Obamacare now gives the government the unprecedented authority to make such mandates (laws). There is no principled difference between a penalty for tanners and a penalty for those that eat fast food, etc.
Rather than implicitly deny you favor changing the country in such fundamental ways you perhaps should embrace it. President Obama certainly does.
New here, indeed! But you must admit, your usage of words like "nonsense" and "crap" in responding to my original post does seem like the overheated language of someone offended. I'm glad you weren't.
Two things. First, what line(s) in my original post appeared to show me as missing the prior sins of our nation? Second, I agree that we have a long and admirable history of shared sacrifice for the benefit of us all. But I am unaware of any government program that mandates participation and thereby gives the government a comparable scope of authority over the personal choices of every American. It isn't that the stated goal of Obamacare is to control and dominate such intimate freedoms. Rather, these freedoms are put in danger as collateral damage; the unintended consequences of Obamacare's method of providing health care to all.
As I said in my original post, if you and others see that as a necessary evil to ensure everyone has some sort of health care then I understand that. What I don't understand is acting as if such a system is not a radical and fundamental change in the role government plays in the lives and personal freedoms of each and every American.
Jerry Johnson is my new hero. Sorry Rick!
With all due respect to Liberty University, they clearly need to actually read P.L. 111-148 (The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). Apparently, they obviously do not know that an opt-out option already exists and can be found in Section 1555 of the law. This section clearly says that individuals and businesses do not have to participate in any insurance program and they will not be penalized if they do not. I have written a post on this (with language from Section 1555) and it can be found here: http://medaccessforamerica.com/breaking-news-health-care-reform/

On Sunday, likeminded change-makers from across the Tampa Bay area will come together at the Carrollwood Cultural Center to talk about their ideas under the theme "Dream Big Then Do."
The event, TEDxYouth@TampaBay founded by Terri Willingham, is the third annual conference of its kind and is recommended for attendees 10 and older.
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a nonprofit organization devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading." Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives.
TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, and Sir Richard Branson.
Local, self-organized events are branded TEDx. The "x" equals an independently organized TED event.
"In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience," the TED website states.
During the half-day youth conference here in Tampa, dynamic young speakers and performers will take to the stage to share their passions. Their challenge is to give a talk or performance that provokes thought, conversation and action.
Todd Dunkle, development and marketing director for the Carrollwood Cultural Center is proud that the center was able to support the Tedx program.
"This is our first involvement with this program and I'm very excited that we are able to host. The variety of talent and creativity these young people are bringing to the Center will surely offer just as much inspiration for adults as it will for other young people in our community," he said.
Willingham is a board member for Learning is for Everyone (LI4E), an education nonprofit she founded about six years ago. She was inspired to start the TedxYouth@TampaBay event, after attending TedxTampaBay in 2010.
"I've always been a big TED fan," Willingham said. "Sitting in a room with like-minded people who enjoy listening to fascinating ideas, I wondered what it would be like to do this event with young people..."
Willingham thought TEDx was a perfect vehicle for inspiring young people, and was delighted to learn that TED supported TEDx events for youth.
LI4E secured the very first TEDxYouth event license in Florida in 2010 and hosted their inaugural event at New Port Richey Library. In 2011, the conference was held at St. Pete College – Seminole. This year they chose Carrollwood Cutural Center for her third showcase.
"The Carrollwood Cultural Center is a natural fit for TEDxYouth@TampaBay, a community gem that provides a beautiful and creative forum for people of all ages to showcase their art, vision and talent. We're very grateful to the Carrollwood Cultural Center for making their facility available for this event."
Paul Berg, executive director for Carrollwood Cultural Center was honored to be hosting the event this year.
"We are thrilled to have a generation of individuals that are excited about making a positive change to their lives and the community," he said.
Once the conference team selects a theme, presenters are chosen in a variety of ways. While some TEDx programs seek only experienced and well known presenters, the Tampa Bay event makes it a point to seek out young people who may never have done anything like a TEDx event, but who are doing powerful, game changing and inspiring things in their communities, and in their own lives.
"TEDxYouth@TampaBay team members make recommendations throughout the year, and we keep our eye on the local news, reaching out to youth we feel have something important to say or share," Willingham said. "This is an opportunity to hear and celebrate forward thinking young people, to showcase their voice and vision, and to shine the public light on the future we want instead of the one we dread."
This year's presenters are:
- 15 year old Matthew Temmer, returning to TEDxYouth@TampaBay 2012 as our Emcee this year, after sharing one of their most popular talks last year. Matthew, 15, is a sophomore in the International Baccalaureate program at Land O Lakes High School. A formerly shy student, Matthew found his voice in art, and found that other young people were grateful for an opportunity to be heard, too.
- Tim Arnold is a University of Central Florida Marketing senior and self-described innovator and disrupter. Arnold made national headlines this past summer, after being punished by the University for developing a registration enhancement web service called "U Could Finish." Later, UCF retroactively improved their website with features similar to the ones Arnold employed. Arnold is a former FIRST robotics team member, who credits the program for shaping him and building his tech interests, and inspire him to think innovatively.
- Elizabeth Baker returns to TEDxYouth@TampaBay 2012, and to her classical music roots. Ms. Baker has studied piano with Steinway Artist Dr. Luis Sanchez, Carolyn McGovern, Eileen Mattioli, Andrew McCardle, and currently studies with Jeff Donovick. Miss Baker has performed in master classes on classical guitar for Jason Vieaux and Dr. Stephen Robinson. She has also played her solo piano compositions in master class for Larry Groupe, who referred to her work as "Perfect." comparing one of her compositions to the level of Debussy's Engulfed Cathedral.
- Davida A. Bowen was born and raised in Philly, and has been producing music ever since stepping into a basement studio in 1994. As a singer, she has performed on many stages throughout her hometown, in New York City and in Tampa, FL. She first launched the concept for StudiYo For Kids in 2008 as a music production class while working as an instructor for the Prodigy Cultural Arts Program in East Tampa. In 2011, she founded The StudiYo Inc., matching her passion for music with her love for children.
- Carissa Caricato and Sarah Page call themselves the "Hoola Girls", and their organization, Hoola for Happiness is dedicated to "Spreading Joy to the World, One Hoop at a Time, One Life at a Time." Though their nonprofit is Tampa-based, Page and Caricato take their hoops and missionary work on the road and across the seas in unique way to bring people together in a joyful way.
- Spencer Opal Levine made headlines a the youngest student ever to win the Blank Theatre's Young Playwrights Festival in Hollywood, CA. He was nine at the time. Now 10, he'll be sharing his creative story.
- Natasha Nascimento was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has lived in Florida for the last ten years. Her diverse life experience inspired her to find ways to serve others in need. She has found her voice and compassionate vision in Redefining Refuge, an organization dedicated to fighting for women and children who have been victims of human trafficking. Redefining Refuge has active participants spanning from Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and across the United States .
- Connor Wilson now a rising sixth grader, was not quite nine years old when he sat down to write his first book, A Giant Pencil. Today, Connor is the youngest traditionally published fiction writer in America.
"We hope everyone, but especially youth, will walk away with the understanding that each and every one of us is significant and powerful," Willingham said. "Kids hear all the time that 'just one person can make a difference,' and that they should 'reach for the stars' and 'believe in yourself,' But how often do they get to hear, first hand, from other young people who have successfully done just that?"
Seating is limited to 100 and approximately 40 tickets are available for a requested donation of $5 per person, and $3 for youth 12 and under. If you are interested in sponsoring or partnering with TedxYouth@TampaBay, email email@example.com or call 813.728.2822. The organization welcomes financial contributions to help defray event expenses, and in-kind contributions of services like printing, videography and signage.
