Findmypast.co.uk Web Guide
By David A. Fryxell
Lear how to use UK genealogy site Findmypast.co.uk to its fullest advantage.
Anyone Who's researching English ancestors knows that 1837 is Year Zero for UK genealogy: the beginning of official registration of births, marriages and deaths. Prior to that year, genealogists have to rely on church records and other sources. But after July 1, 1837, you can search for your family in General Register Office indexes, then order copies of the original certificates of birth, marriage or death.
No wonder, then, that the Findmypast.co.uk website was originally known as 1837online.com. Its founding mission was to bring those 1837-and-onward vital records indexes to genealogists via the internet.
Today, however, the site has a new name—officially, Findmypast.co.uk, recently updated from the moniker Findmypast.com to emphasize the site's UK focus—and a broader mission to offer more UK records. Most notably, it's added 1841 to 1911 census records for England and Wales, and emigration records from UK ports. It's the only site where you can find that early-released 1911 enumeration (other than the
British national archives site
, which is also "powered by" Findmypast). Our guide will help you find your past with Findmypast.
Picking your package
All told, Findmypast now includes more than 650 million records. Besides "BMD" (birth, marriage, death) and census records, it's added military records, emigration and passport records, an index to death duty registers of probates generating taxes (1796 to 1903), and miscellaneous resources such as a 1925 Dental Surgeons Directory and a pay-per-use search for living relatives. Not yet fully developed but notable for future research, Findmypast has begun adding parish records and the National Burial Index. If your ancestor's parish happens to be among the early additions (especially in the period 1813 to 1850), you can almost hear those brick walls tumbling down.
These genealogical goodies will cost you, of course, and Findmypast has a somewhat confusing pricing structure that can make it difficult to calculate your bottom line. References to "PayAsYouGo" credits dot the site, and this is certainly an option if you need to check just a couple of things; packages start at a little more than $11 for 60 credits, which you can use over a period of 90 days.
Because, as we'll see, finding ancestors in those BMD indexes can require a lot of clicking and viewing—at a cost of three credits or so for each page you look at—credits probably aren't a smart option for doing intensive research. Instead, as long as your ancestors left England by 1911, you'll do best with the Explorer subscription package, which lets you freely roam through all collections, except the 1911 census and the Living Relatives search, at a cost of $88 for six months or $144 a year.
A Full subscription that combines the Explorer package with the 1911 census runs about $152 for six months and $240 a year (renewing or upgrading subscribers get a 20 percent "loyalty scheme" discount).
Getting started
Starting your Findmypast search couldn't be simpler. The home page offers a straightforward search form (the only way to search multiple databases at once) in which you enter a first and last name. You can limit this basic search by birth and/or death date, but in general, it's best to cast your net as wide as possible at first. Since the two most important record groups here—BMDs and census—are already arranged by date, there's no sense restricting your search and possibly missing out on an ancestor.
This simple home-page search takes you to a results screen listing the number of hits from the census all the way down to more obscure resources such as Great Western Railway Shareholders 1835-1910. Hits in the census and miscellaneous records are listed by number of records. Simply click on "7 records" (or whatever) to view a detailed chart of hits in the source, which you can in turn click to view transcriptions or record images.
Results in BMD indexes and most other sources are listed by number of pages—sometimes a thousand or more. Clicking on these links leads to a long list of index pages; in the case of BMD records, they're ordered by year, then by quarter within each year.
The initial results page also gives you the opportunity to narrow your search by birth or death date (the default is 1320 to 2006), or to broaden it to include variants of the first and/or last name. These variants won't make much difference for BMD records—you'll likely get the same batch of index pages—but may sweep in a few extra census hits. You also can use an asterisk
as a wildcard to search the census, with the asterisk standing in for one or more letters:
finds Will as well as Willie, Wilt, Wilfred and William. You can even try two asterisks:
finds not only all those Will variations but also Bill or Billy. This can be particularly handy for overcoming transcription errors affecting the initial letter of a name.
From the home page or using the blue bar of links atop every screen, you also can opt to search any one group of records, such as BMDs or the census. Those links in turn take you to a page where you can select individual databases to search.
Paging through BMDs
Findmypast suggests starting by scouring those birth, marriage and death records from 1837 on. Here, though, researchers accustomed to instant database gratification are in for a bit of a surprise: The 1837 to 1984 vital records aren't truly searchable by name. Rather, searching Findmypast BMDs serves up a list of index pages on which your ancestor's name might be found (births, marriages and deaths are listed in separate indexes, rather than being lumped together). Each entry in the list shows the first and last name on that page, so a search for Daniel Bing, for example, gets results that begin with a page for July-August-September 1837, from "BILLING, Sarah Jane to BIRCH, Female." There may or may not be Bings on that page.
These registry books are arranged alphabetically by surname, then by forename, within each quarter of the year. Everyone in England born in April, May or June of 1853, for example, is listed alphabetically in the same registry. So if you don't know an ancestor's birth date or other key date, even approximately, you may have to view a lot of pages in order to find the right person. Even then, you won't get the exact date: Registry books list name, geographic district, volume and page where the event was recorded; you can use this information to order the General Register Office (GRO) certificate (for a fee) containing more complete data, including the date of birth, marriage or death.
The site gives you detailed instructions on how to order from GRO
Even if you know your ancestor's birth, marriage or death date, finding the event in the indexes can be tricky. Keep in mind that an event at the end of March, for example, may not have been recorded until April—and would be found in the April-May-June pages instead. Legally, births had to be registered within 42 days.
Knowing what district to look for can help separate your John Smith from similarly named individuals in other places. Marriages were typically recorded in the parish of the bride, which may not be in the same district as the groom's. Deaths were recorded in the district where they occurred, which might be in a hospital different from the deceased's home.
Still can't find somebody? Try a few years on both sides of the supposed date; people often fudged their ages, and census takers and other officials made mistakes.
You might also get tripped up by accidents of alphabetizing. Although the indexes generally list individuals in order much like a telephone directory, there are a few oddities:
Births and deaths where the surname was unknown may be listed after Z.
Prior to June 1969, surnames beginning Mac and Mc were indexed separately; thereafter, both were alphabetized under Mac.
Surnames beginning with O' (such as O'Reilly) were alphabetized as if without the apostrophe.
"Double-barreled" surnames such as Harvey-Jones were usually listed by the first part of the name. Harvey-Jones would fall after the last Harvey but before Harvey-Smith.
Multiword surnames such as De Burgh, Le Jeune, St. John or Van de Kamp were alphabetized by the first word, as if without spaces.
Births of those with hereditary titles were listed under given names, but deaths may be under titled names; marriages could be listed either way.
Nuns may be listed as Sister Cecilia or Cecilia, Sister.
Depending on the date, viewing an ancestor's entry may be rewarding even before ordering from the GRO. Births from September 1911 and later include the mother's maiden surname in the index. Marriages are listed under both the groom's and bride's names, but spouses weren't listed together until March 1912. (To be sure you have the right couple in earlier indexes, look up both the bride and groom to see if the information matches.) The index shows age at death beginning in the second quarter of 1866—but be aware these ages are notoriously unreliable.
Seeking English enumerations
Results of a Findmypast census search will feel familiar to online researchers. The list of hits for each census displays columns for "Institution, Household or Vessel," name, birth year, age, sex, registration district and county, plus links to a household transcription and an image of the original.
Clicking on the column headers in your results list lets you sort them by name, birth year or district. Take that "birth year" date with the usual grain of salt: As in US censuses, UK enumerators recorded the person's age, not the actual year of birth, so these years are simply calculated estimates. And you can't even depend on the age in the earliest, 1841 headcount: Enumerators rounded ages to the nearest multiple of five, so a 21-year-old was recorded as age 20, while his 48-year-old dad got bumped up to 50.
Keep in mind, too, that the UK census reflects a snapshot of the population's whereabouts on a single day. Your ancestor may have been sick in hospital or visiting a friend; if so, that's where you'll find him recorded. Young women were often "in service," and would be enumerated in the household of their employer. Someone on board a ship would be recorded if in an English port, but not if at sea.
You can use this place-specificity to overcome transcription and spelling errors: Findmypast lets you search censuses by any combination of street name, residential place (treated as a keyword field, so you can enter Rose if your ancestor's address includes "Rose Cottage") and county. Just click Search by Address
on the census search page
for any census. The advanced search provides more-specific options, but you likely won't need them.
So, for example, if you've found Daniel Bing's family in every census except 1861, you can use the address information from those other finds to try to solve that mystery. Doing an advanced search for the road Hereson in Thanet district, county Kent, retrieves the entries for all the households on the road in that census. Sure enough, there's the "missing" entry, mistranscribed as "Danice."
Other census search options, under the Advanced Search tab, let you search using any of the fields for that particular census, such as gender or marital status, even occupation or names of others living in the same household.

Going further
Once you've found your ancestor in BMD records and the censuses, explore Findmypast's other databases. The growing parish records collection is under the Births, Marriages & Deaths tab. Migration records range from 1793 to 1960 and include passenger lists of those leaving the UK (1890 to 1960) and the register of passport applications (1851 to 1903).
You can
search all the site's military records at once
, or individually explore WWI or WWII deaths, armed forces vital records and other resources.
"Specialist records" include civil service records, directories of the medical professions and clergy, crew lists and those shareholders of the Great Western Railway. If you still have kin in England, try the Living Relatives search—by name, address or business—at 10 credits per search. (You could find who's now living in your ancestors' old house.)
Findmypast also lets you post a tree online using the free
Family Tree Explorer
. You get 200MB of media storage for scanned documents, certificates and photos, with more features and collaboration options in the works. If you have lots of English ancestors, it might make sense to put your tree where other English researchers might be likely to find it. You can start from scratch or upload a GEDCOM file exported from your genealogy software. With a little help from those distant kin and the power of Findmypast, you'll have your family tree all leafed out back to 1837—and be ready to push back beyond that Year Zero.

Anybody know much about the new dashboard that's being made available for the 360 today?
Looks like they borrowed (or flat out stole) Nintendo's Mii concept:
A couple other shots from engadget.com:
The feature I'm most interested in checking out is the tie-in with Netflix where you can now stream movies directly to your 360 from a library of 10,000+ titles.
You can also apparently burn games directly to your HD, although i'm not entirely sure of what the advantages are to doing that. Less strain on the system since the CD doesn't have to spin? Shorter load times? ::shrug::

Saints Bounce Back After First Defeat of Season with 11-run Outburst
Contact Joey Daniels, email@example.com
DECATUR, AL – The No. 3-ranked Saints softball team bounced back nicely with an 11-run outburst against Missouri-St. Louis after being shutout in their first game 1-0 against Barry University in day two the 2012 Charger Chillout.
Game 1 vs. Barry University (BU 1-0)
Despite not giving up an earned run, pitcher Jessica Coan was credited with just her first loss of the season.
Coan struck out 13 Barry players, while only surrendering four hits. She has been every bit, if not more, as dominant as she was last year.
The top of the third inning saw the only run of the game scored. Amber Durkin led off the inning with a hard hit ball to Karlie Gillam at third base. After Gillam fielded it clean, she threw to first base where Sarah Johnson had come over to cover the bag. Gillam's throw looked to be on the mark, but got by Johnson, allowing Durkin to move up to second base.
After Coan struck out back to back batters, Grace Collins came up to the plate. Collins ripped a single up the middle, allowing Durkin to come in and score the games only run.
The Saints batters had trouble hitting Barry pitcher Brianna Smith all game, a North Georgia only finished with four hits in the game
The Saints did have scoring opportunities, with players on both third and second base a couple of times.
Pilar Harden led off the bottom of the sixth inning with a single to right field. After Katherine Martin hit a deep fly ball only to be caught, Harden stole second. She was left stranded there, and that would be the final chance the Saints would have at scoring.
Game 2 vs. Missouri-St. Louis (NG 11-2/5 innings)
The Saints bounced back nicely with a dominating win over the Tritons of Missouri-St. Louis.
The bats finally came alive for North Georgia, as they smacked out 10 hits and scored 11 runs. Four players finished with multi-hit games.
Karlie Gillam and Katie Block led the way for the Saints, each going 2-for-3. Gillam hit a solo home run, along with knocking in two more runs in the game, finishing three RBI's. Block also finished with three RBI's including two doubles, one with the bases loaded.
Rochelle Shuman finished 2-for-2 in the game with two runs scored. Shuman is now batting .367 on the season as a freshman.
Starting pitcher Melissa Dickie pitched 3.1 innings while picking up the win. The freshman improved her record to 4-0 on the young season, finishing with four strikeouts.
Coan came in relief, pitching the final 1.2 innings. Coan struck out five batters and only gave up two hits.
Hilary Cox also finished with two hits and a run scored, smacking both of her hits back up the middle.
The Saints put six runs on the scoreboard in the third inning, putting the Tritons away. They added three more in the fourth inning; to give them the eight-run lead they were hoping for before the rain set in.
Centerfielder Pilar Harden picked up two RBI's in the game, while going just 1-for-1 with a sacrifice fly.
With a steady rain in the forecast tonight and tomorrow morning, North Georgia will not be playing their two scheduled games tomorrow. The Saints were originally scheduled to play Florida Tech and Alabama-Huntsville, but those games have been cancelled.
The tournament committee has pushed all games tomorrow back three hours, but the rain may not even permit them to play after that.
With the Saints not playing tomorrow, their next scheduled game will be on Wednesday, February 22, when they host Belmont Abbey in doubleheader action. Game one is set for 2:00 PM.

Lobbying effort puts video gaming on the table for Elgin
By Mike Danahey email@example.com February 20, 2013 3:50PM
Committee member Bill Freiberg of the Owls Athletic Club talks about the reasons for video gaming in local bars, restaurants and social clubs Tuesday during a Elgin Video Gaming Committee meeting at The American Legion in Elgin. February 19, 2013 | Michael Smart~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 22, 2013 9:52AM
ELGIN — Owners and patrons of some local bars, restaurants and social clubs say they learned a lesson in recent months about the value of banding together.
Due in large part to their efforts, the city council is set — possibly as soon as next week — to move along rules that would allow video gaming at qualifying places in town.
Last summer, the council had decided by consensus not to opt into the state's Video Gaming Act.
The law allows video gambling at establishments where alcohol is served for consumption (as opposed to packaged goods liquor stores), truck stops and licensed fraternal and veterans establishments. Payouts are capped at $500 on any one play, and the number of terminals at any one place limited to five.
The act calls for the gaming vendor and the host establishment each to get 35 percent of profits, with the state getting 25 percent and the local municipality 5 percent.
In June, Councilwoman Tish Powell said she didn't want Elgin to become another Las Vegas, while Councilman John Prigge noted that the gaming could hurt the take at the Grand Victoria Casino.
Rather than being discouraged, Jill Hoppe of Hoppe's Corner said she and others formed the Elgin Video Gaming Committee. The group, with a core representing a dozen places, claims support from more than 28 other establishments in town. Members say 54 places in Elgin could qualify for each having up to five video gambling machines.
"We decided we needed to be organized," Hoppe said.
Forming strategy
Bill Freiberg, who is a member of the Owls Athletic Club and the American Legion, noted that the group's strategy was to meet one-on-one with the council members, then with the mayor and city manager.
American Legion Post 57 Commander Norm Bellows said that grew out of Prigge visiting the post in August and talking with some members who said about how the establishment would be negatively impacted by Elgin not allowing the video gaming.
Frank Gumma said that last summer, the council didn't realize the repercussions for local businesses of not allowing the gaming, particularly as most of the towns surrounding Elgin decided to allow the machines. Gumma owns Ideal Gaming in East Dundee. He and Kevin Gelatka of G3 Gaming in Lansing have been serving as advisers to the gaming committee.
Illinois has set up a system where a licensed manufacturer sells machines through a distributor that in turn leases or distributes them to a licensed vendor such as Ideal and G3. The vendor then places the equipment in a licensed establishment.
Jim McGrath opened McGruder's on the city's far-east side last year and said he comes from the world of auto sales "where you can't get two car dealers together on anything." Thus, he was wary at first of joining the effort but later became an impressed member of the gaming committee.
"The council didn't know how bad business was. We got it across to them that it's still tough out there," McGrath said.
Freiberg, a retired Elgin deputy fire chief, said the group became well-prepared for its lobbying efforts. "We were in education mode and remained positive. We never had anything bad to say," Freiberg said.
Crunching numbers
Mike Flannagan got involved in the cause by being a member of Elgin's Riverside and Moose clubs and American Legion and VFW posts. He is chairman of the group and its unofficial gatherer of information.
Among Flannagan's findings were that, through a ZIP code study, a significant portion of patrons were coming to Elgin establishments from out of town and that a many of them were likely to go elsewhere if video gaming were offered there.
Flannagan also was able to extrapolate data from other states and early numbers from Illinois. That showed that if all 54 eligible sites in Elgin had gambling, it could bring in more than $640,000 annually for the city's take.
"Of course, there will be peaks and valleys, and the numbers will eventually level off. But it will still be extra money," Flannagan said.
"It it's just enough money to pay a bill, it's a plus," said Mike Cook, who is a member of the Riverside Club.
Members said that their "every little bit helps" attitude stems from dealing with tax, fee and utility increases in recent years, along with soaring food, liquor and fuel costs.
"Nobody's making a penny serving food right now," Freiberg said. "On top of that, there are fuel surcharges on deliveries from some vendors."
Impact already
Backers say allowing video gaming will level the playing field for Elgin spots facing competition from places in other towns. Although only about a half-dozen establishments close to Elgin currently have the gaming, committee members say that is already impacting city businesses.
"The most compelling argument for me was the fact that they are losing business to neighboring communities where video gaming has already been approved," Councilwoman Anna Moeller said. "I don't want to put our businesses at a competitive disadvantage."
Gumma said the state is approving gaming licenses at a rate of 150 to 350 a week, but waits of six months or more for approval are typical.
In Elgin, the committee said they have been told the city's legal department is working on clarification from the state if local clubs such as the Owls and the Riverside can have the gambling, given that the rules seem to allow it at places with national charters.
And beyond gaming, the group plans to stay together under a different name, Freiberg said, to keep abreast of other business-related issues and to serve as a springboard for the city council and staff to use for small-business issues.
The group also has invited the Grand Victoria to supply a member but has yet to hear back on the offer.
In a move that thrilled and surprised video gaming committee members, at the Feb. 13 council meeting, after a video touting the casino's positive impact on Elgin, casino general manager Jim Thomason spoke in terms implying the Grand Victoria would not stand in the way of allowing video gaming elsewhere in Elgin.
Flannagan called Thomason's presentation amazing and said he never knew the casino did as much as it does for the Elgin area.
"Thomason and his team truly are leaders in the community and a great asset to the city," Flannagan said.

A Dynamic Network Model of mTOR Signaling Reveals TSC-Independent mTORC2 Regulation
Piero Dalle Pezze1,2*, Annika G. Sonntag3*, Antje Thien4, Mirja T. Prentzell3, Markus Gödel4, Sven Fischer3, Elke Neumann-Haefelin4, Tobias B. Huber4,5, Ralf Baumeister3,5,6,7, Daryl P. Shanley1,2, and Kathrin Thedieck3,5,6

Abstract: The kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) exists in two multiprotein complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2) and is a central regulator of growth and metabolism. Insulin activation of mTORC1, mediated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, and the inhibitory tuberous sclerosis complex 1/2 (TSC1-TSC2), initiates a negative feedback loop that ultimately inhibits PI3K. We present a data-driven dynamic insulin-mTOR network model that integrates the entire core network and used this model to investigate the less well understood mechanisms by which insulin regulates mTORC2. By analyzing the effects of perturbations targeting several levels within the network in silico and experimentally, we found that, in contrast to current hypotheses, the TSC1-TSC2 complex was not a direct or indirect (acting through the negative feedback loop) regulator of mTORC2. Although mTORC2 activation required active PI3K, this was not affected by the negative feedback loop. Therefore, we propose an mTORC2 activation pathway through a PI3K variant that is insensitive to the negative feedback loop that regulates mTORC1. This putative pathway predicts that mTORC2 would be refractory to Akt, which inhibits TSC1-TSC2, and, indeed, we found that mTORC2 was insensitive to constitutive Akt activation in several cell types. Our results suggest that a previously unknown network structure connects mTORC2 to its upstream cues and clarifies which molecular connectors contribute to mTORC2 activation.

Suitable from birth - 18kg
Order in the next 3 hours 10 minutes for express home delivery on Tuesday
The Shuffle SP car seat offers excellent value for money as it lasts right through from birth - 4 years of age (0-18kg). The seat 4-recline positions, which are easily adjustable from the front and deep side wings for increased side impact protection. The car seat easily fixes into your vehicle with the car's 3-point safety harness
Our exclusive Baby Weavers brand stands for great quality at a great price. What started out as a line of luxury nursing chairs - at half the competition's prices – has grown into a bestselling range of 250 pushchairs, prams, car seats, furniture and bedding. Loved by customers, loved by colleagues; it has a special place in the Kiddicare heritage as it's named after the children of the founding Weavers family.
I bought this for my 14 month granddaughter who we look after two days a week. As it can be used from birth it will also be useful when our next two granddaughters are born this summer. It was easy to install with clear instructions and is a good solid car seat. Great idea to have the buckle alarmed !
This is the second one of these car seats we have purchased. One for each car. Our little boys loves being able to look around whilst driving. Can't grumble at the the low price.
Bought for my big five month old. Already have one for my two year old. They are easy to fit and both children sleep and sit comfortably in there. Only thing is it wasn't packaged very well.
Haven't actually fitted this in the car yet but it looks great and have put LO in it and he seemed happy enough. Really like the alarm feature.
Really good sturdy car seat, my 1 year old finds it very comfortable and the recline is just right for him to drop off to sleep. The seat has a safety feature of beeping when unbuckled. This means to avoid the beep the seat has to be buckled at all times even when there is no child in it. Good idea in theory but trying to unbuckle the seat with one hand with a toddler in the other is very tricky. I've resorted to putting the music up when the baby is not in the car so I don't hear the beep

Interview: Reggie Watts - new CD/DVD, new TV show, and a show at the Fonda Theatre
The cover of Reggie Watts' new CD/DVD "A Live In Central Park"
Reggie Watts is on a roll right now and he's coming to town tonight to perform his incredibly original melange of comedy and music at the Fonda Theare. Within a period of 4 weeks Reggie Watts will have had his "A Live At Central Park" Comedy Central special premiere coinciding with dual CD and DVD release of the uncensored material, he will have embarked on a tour to support this release (bringing him to LA and all across the country), and the IFC premiere on Friday, June 8, at 10pm, of "Comedy Bang! Bang!", a parody of a late night comedy talk show where Watts has been billed as a musical cohort who does much more than just provide banter and a catchy tune.
If you watched the Comedy Central premiere of the special, Watts' 13-track CD is gloriously uncensored, preserving the rhythm and energy of the original live performance. Although these bits and songs are "funny," the layers of material often contain references, if you listen carefully, to universal themes of providing love to others and a need to stop violence. Damn you Watts for luring us in with laughter! But for some people these references are so subtle they very well could miss them in the first few listens because amusement is the primary purpose. Favorite tracks, and these were difficult to pick, include "Having Sex," "Tweet Yourself Right," and "Reggiohead."
Tonight's show at the Ford Theatre will be an ideal venue to take in the Reggie Watts experience. If you go, prepare to laugh and dance.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Steve DeAngelo didn't come west just to open the world's largest medical marijuana dispensary.
Employee Derek Flores, right, waits for a patient at a display case at the Harborside Health Center in Oakland, Calif. The center will be one of the models for Maine's first medical marijuana dispensaries.

He has bigger plans.
"I'm all about creating a cannabis distribution model that will be accepted in the heartland of America," DeAngelo said.
He may be getting closer to that goal. DeAngelo's creation -- Harborside Health Center -- will be one of the models for Maine's first medical marijuana dispensaries.
Eight storefront dispensaries are expected to open in Maine this winter. They will expand access to the drug for patients in and around Portland, Augusta, Bangor and five other communities. They also will take marijuana out of the shadows and put it in plain view.
"We create an environment where people can look at cannabis and re-evaluate the way they feel about it," said DeAngelo, who is not involved in Maine.
No one expects Maine to turn overnight into Oakland, perhaps the country's most pot-friendly city. Mainers are already pretty comfortable with medicinal pot, however, having first legalized it in 1999 and then, last fall, voting to establish dispensaries.
Now, activists hope, dispensaries will get Mainers even more comfortable with cannabis.
"I think having dispensaries helps legitimize (medical marijuana). It breaks down some of the psychological barriers around this issue," said Jonathan Leavitt, director of the Maine Marijuana Policy Initiative. "It's already the number one cash crop in the state. It might as well be out in the open."
Maine advocates say full-scale legalization is definitely a long-term goal, and opening up medical marijuana dispensaries around the state will help get there. But, they maintain, the first order of business is getting the drug to people suffering with serious illnesses.
"Our agenda is to get patients taken care of as a priority," said Leavitt. "Patients are hurting and they need their medicine."
Not everyone wants marijuana use out in the open, even in California.
More than 100 California communities have banned dispensaries, pointing to a lack of state regulation and cases of abuses and crime.
"There has been wholesale diversion (of medical marijuana) to people who have no medical issues at all," said Moses Johnson, attorney for the city of Anaheim, which is fighting the state's Supreme Court to preserve the city's dispensary ban.
Oakland, on the other hand, is among the communities that have embraced the movement, albeit with city regulations and taxes.
Some of Oakland's open attitude is due to DeAngelo, whose trademark fedora and braids make him one of northern California's most recognizable cannabis celebrities.
The 52-year-old once ran a large business selling hemp products before moving here from the Washington, D.C., area four years ago to open Harborside and take medical marijuana mainstream, what he calls "out of the shadows and into the light." His success at Harborside has attracted a lot of media attention.
"Hey, you're the guy I've been seeing in the newspapers," says one starry-eyed woman arriving at DeAngelo's Harborside Health Center. Another man walks up to shake DeAngelo's hand and thank him for what he's doing.
Harborside serves 700 to 800 patients a day and sold $20 million worth of medical marijuana last year, said DeAngelo. Any profits are either put back into the operation or donated, he said.
It employs 80 people, all trained to make patients feel so welcome that they keep coming back.
Wages start at $14 an hour, with health and dental coverage and a 401(k) plan, he said. The company won't disclose executive salaries, but DeAngelo did say that the company's average wage works out to be $41 an hour.
Harborside is new and clean, with bright windows, wood furnishings and freshly cut flowers. Its large main room resembles a bank or a high-end jewelry store. Eight employees stand behind a long glass display case loaded with marijuana samples, cannabis creams, lozenges and other products.

The Wright 1911 Model B Flyer in Flight
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll's 1911 Model B Flyer flew its last flights in December, 1934 at Central Airport in Camden, New Jersey, just across the Delaware River from Center City, Philadelphia. Shortly thereafter, The Franklin Institute became home to the Bergdoll Flyer, thanks to the generosity of its owner. Not otherwise available to the public, the film footage of that 1934 flight is now online. The film is segmented for easier online access. The original reel exists as one long film, with the thirteen segments connected to one another in the same order as they are presented here. Each segment includes a brief overview of the visual content as well as an indication of the video's file size. The original film does not have audio, therefore, these segments do not either.

Hosting an award-winning novelist is quite a Christmas coup for the Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straw Society. But when he's murdered in Lizzie Turner's house, she's got a holiday homicide on her hands …
For their very first guest author event, most of the book club members can't wait to pull out all the stops in Southern hospitality. But for Lizzie, Derek Alton is nothing but trouble—from his massive ego to his smarmy moves. When he's found murdered in her living room, it seems someone decided that this womanizing writer would be better off dead than read.
After suspicion falls on Lizzie's friend, she and her fellow book club members discover that Derek wasn't who he pretended to be. Cracking this case means going up against Lizzie's boyfriend, police chief Mark Dreyfus, and unearthing a novel's worth of nasty secrets. And as they get closer to uncovering Derek's scandalous final manuscript, someone hiding in plain sight is out to write finis to Lizzie's sleuthing for good…

Steeped in a history of powerful dynasties, diverse religious traditions, and political transformations, Vietnam is changing by leaps and bounds. A hopeful current is buzzing throughout much of the country, and it's a thrill to watch the chaos and order play out their yin and yang amidst honking horns, noodle stands, tranquil rice fields, French-colonial remnants and glass high-rises. The country is racing into modernity, with the revered "Uncle" Ho Chi Minh's influence being challenged by the likes of Colonel Sanders. Yet ancient traditions endure, the arts are once again flourishing, and the cuisine is so good it's worth a trip just to try the banh khoai.

text: the stock wiring worked well, and I'm not sure what that was. It wasn't as bright as the K702, but was well presented. It was also less fatiguing as well. The Mids had a ton of clarity and presence. I think UPOCC will be nice, Silver might make them too bright so they don't sound like a DT480). The only thing that I didn't find completely fantastic was the Bass. Now, with a re-wire, I think most of that would be cleaned up... and would put these ahead of the K702.... and I'd have to buy them off of KBI. In the end, is to basically clean them up and make them sound a little better, without making them sound like a different headphone.

08/30/2008 - Shikha Dalmia and Lisa Snell misrepresent decades of research on the lasting benefits of quality pre-K research that has been accepted by academics and policymakers across the political spectrum.The authors cherry-pick data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Contrary to their claim, fourth-grade NAEP scores rose in Georgia from 1992 to 2007. A national study by RAND in 2000 found that preschool was one of a number of factors that contributed to higher NAEP scores across the country. More importantly, rigorous studies like the five-year evaluation of pre-K in Tulsa, published in the journal Science, found significant positive impacts of Oklahoma's program for disadvantaged and middle-class children.These findings are similar to decades of research in peer-reviewed journals. A summary of 123 preschool studies spanning 40 years, forthcoming in Teachers College Record, finds significant and long-lasting effects; the more rigorous the study, the larger the impacts. Few other educational reform measures have been scrutinized more intensively.Finally, the authors suggest that support for pre-K is limited to Democrats. This year, with leadership from both Republican and Democratic governors, 32 states are increasing their investment in pre-K by more than $300 million.Children don't need protection from pre-K. Their parents, and the public, deserve protection from such disregard for the facts.Susan Urahn

He had participated in multiple professional cycling races in the past seven years. But even so, for Duncan the Sunny King Criterium today was no small feat.
"I'm not a fan of hills, but it was a good course," Duncan said with a laugh.
Hundreds of professional and amateur bicycling racers converged in downtown Anniston today for the annual Sunny King Criterium. Hundreds more turned out to cheer the cyclists as they rode through downtown, or to view them on a large screen set up on Noble Street. The event was also streamed live through various websites.
The Criterium course is a nearly 1-mile circuit in downtown Anniston. The event includes multiple cycling races for varying ages and skill levels throughout the day and into the evening. It is considered a top-tier competition by cycling organizations and a top-10 event in the state by the Alabama Department of Tourism and Travel.
The Noble Street Festival, which provided live music and food from various local restaurants, was held in conjunction with the races.
Duncan traveled all the way from Warner Robins, Ga. to participate in the Criterium with his team, Doulas Productions Cycling. Duncan said the festival was an excellent addition to the Criterium.
"It's nice to have the festival at the same time … it's a good way to get people interested in the sport," Duncan said.
For Steve Riley of Atlanta, Saturday was his first time in the Criterium as well. Riley said he decided to participate this year due to the popularity of the event.
"It's a big race," Riley said. "And with it being streamed live, all my buddies get to watch me."
Riley, who came with a team called Team Mission Source, said he used to race in the 1990s and decided to start doing it again in recent years to get back into shape.
"And it's such a fun thing to do –- there is a great community of people and it's just a ton of fun," Riley said.
Riley said he planned to participate in two races back-to-back before checking out the festival.
"I'll be spending some money at the festival," Riley said.
Tony Jewah of Clay County finished his third year racing in the Criterium Saturday morning. Jewah, who was resting in the back of a pickup truck drinking water, said he normally races with mountain bikes but still considers the Criterium a challenge.
"It ranks right up there with some of the best races around," Jewah said. "This is of national caliber … the competition is just as strong here as anywhere else."
Retired from the U.S. Army, Jewah years ago used to race motorcycles.
"But as I got older the tracks got bigger and the kids got faster," Jewah said. "I used to train with bicycles to keep my conditioning up for motorcycles, so I decided to just switch to cycling."
Jewah said the Criterium is good for the festival and vice versa.
"The festival brings in people who normally wouldn't come to a bicycling event and the Criterium introduces other people to the festival," he ssaid.

I have been working at Hilton Worldwide full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Decent benefits package and phenomenal training, especially for those on the career path in the hospitality industry.
Cons – Some corporate policies are self-defeating and harm the income potential of certain hotels in the long run.
Advice to Senior Management – Please re-evaluate your policy on credit card transactions for upper level hilton rewards members, as credit card fraud is running rampant and you are doing a disservice to your guests by not adequately ensuring their security by verifying cards at POS with government issued photo ID's. In addition, the policy of over-selling hotels is not one practiced by all brands (as I was mistakenly informed and later confirmed on my own) and does not promote brand loyalty, which is one of Hilton Worldwide's strengths. Guaranteeing a reservation should ALWAYS guarantee that reservation except in cases beyond the control of the hotel, such as storm/flood/eletrical/etc.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Bush Poplin Convertible Pants 13 13
Great quality! Great quality pants! I had to purchase these after many attempts to find Boy Scout pants that always resulted in something too small or not comfortable. The zipper around the knee area is not too tight at all, giving your leg plenty of room to maneuver. I love all the pockets, especially the hidden one in the front left pocket, and the legs easily unzip and slide off, even with my size 13 shoes on. The pants could use a few more belt loops, especially on the sides, but they do have buttons around the waist to make the waist a little tighter. I've already worn them on a extended camp out, and they held up very well! March 21, 2014
Repeat User wants more colors I have purchased the cotton convertibles over the years. I am 5'9". the short size and waist offering is the main reason why I am a repeat buyer. This size fits me perfectly. I like the cotton version for travel and I think theyi are a little more dressy than the nylon. Cotton is cooler and safer on the body when sitting on a plane or car. I also use these at when I am at driving events where cotton or nomex is required. I zip off the legs when I am not driving. I did have a pair of The nylon which are great for activities where weight and the ability to dry fast is required, like traveling in a boat or dealing with wet weather. These pants have excellent construction and hold up well. I had one pair that I thought wore out prematurely and you replaced them at no charge. Another reason I am a repeat customer. These pants offer some zippered pockets that are some of the best protection against pickpockets in my travels. Could you please offer these pants in BLACK or return the GREEN color again? Please keep these pants in stock ALWAYS since they are a must have for travel. September 16, 2013
Won't get through airport security I have never yet been able to get through airport security without being stopped for "something" in my pants. After I empty my pockets, the only metallic thing left is the zippers at the knees (or maybe the ones on the insdie security pockets of the cargo pocket). If it has not already been done, you folks need to find a new kind of zippers that will not set off airport security. I bought mine in 2011. I have faced this problem nearly every time I have worn them for air travel since then. March 15, 2014
Great Pant at Great Price When I saw that these pants were on sale, I ordered another pair to have as a replacement or back up. I have purchased these pants for years and the zipper have kept my valuables safe. Another reason I buy these pants from Travelsmith is that they offer a "short" version which enables me to wear these without any alterations. Have you ever tried to shorten zip off pants with zippers? I would like to see the Green color come back as another color. They were handy as a work pant besides a good travel color. February 4, 2014
Good product but could be better Good: The material was good quality. The waist fitted nicely, especially with the button tabs to draw the waist when it is too loose. Shortcoming: Sizes offered were short, regular or tall. I chose the 'short' as I am 5ft 7in tall. The legs were too long, about an inch too long. There was no way to shorten the legs because of the zippers. Pants should be offered in various in-seams. August 27, 2013
Best convertibles I have several pairs of these pants because I wear convertibles a lot and these are the best I've found. Lots of secure pockets, material has great hand, easy to clean. I don't like that the length of the shorts has increased over the years but I guess they have to keep pace with everyone else. I use them for travel, work, and play. The only place they didn't work well was when we were in tick infested woods as there are too many places for ticks to hide. Other than that, I wear a pair almost every day in the summer because the the temperature changes so much here near the lake. March 25, 2011
Comfortable Convertibles I have been looking for Cotton Convertible pants for some time. Most places have discontinued them, or are discontinuing them. I found two places that still have them. The other manufacturer is in the process of discontinuing them. It turns out that TravelSmith had the more comfortable pair. They are true to size and have the adjustable waist band, just in case. I love all of the extra zippers to help protect items like keys & change from falling out. I now own 4 pair. I wear these pants everyday. The tight weave makes them a little warm in the summer, but they ARE convertible pants, so the shorts are nice. They have been nice in the evenings where we've had 50 degree weather. I've read where people want the Nylon pants back, but there are lots of manufacturers out there making Nylon Convertible pants. Please keep making the Cotton Convertibles. October 3, 2013
Great pants Bought these for vacation in Hawaii and they looked great! January 29, 2014

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team held the lead for the majority of tonight's game against Morehead State, but the Eagles closed out the game with three unanswered runs in the seventh and eighth innings to claim a 3-1 win at Skyhawk Field.
For the most part, sophomore Carter Smith carved up the Eagles, keeping Morehead State scoreless through six innings. He allowed an unearned run in the seventh before departing in the eighth inning with the score still tied at 1-1. Ultimately, the left-hander out of St. Louis, Mo. was tagged with the loss – falling to 0-3 despite career-highs of 7.1 innings and seven strikeouts while conceding just two earned runs on four hits.
After Morehead State loaded the bases with no outs and threatened to break the game open in the top of the ninth, senior left-hander Trevor Lundgrin entered the game and slammed the door. He chalked up three consecutive strikeouts to give the Skyhawks the momentum heading into the bottom of the ninth.
Senior third baseman Matt Haynes registered two hits to lead UT Martin (10-27, 3-16 Ohio Valley Conference). Haynes also scored the Skyhawks' lone run while freshman Luis Paublini tallied an RBI for UT Martin, who brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth but couldn't come through.
"Carter continued what he has been doing for us and threw very well once again," Skyhawk head coach Bubba Cates said. "We just didn't do enough offensively to give ourselves a cushion. Trevor got out of a big jam to give us a chance and we sent the winning run to the plate, we just have to do a little bit more."
Smith stranded a runner on third in the top of the first and retired the side in order in the second, racking up three strikeouts in the first two frames.
That hot start allowed the Skyhawks to take a lead in the bottom of the second. Haynes and Nico Zych each singled with one out to start the rally, followed by a Drew Erie walk that loaded the bases. Paublini then lifted a sacrifice fly out to right field to give UT Martin the 1-0 lead.
Smith then returned to work, retiring the side on only seven pitches in the third. He allowed a pair of base hits in the fourth but held off Morehead State thanks to a heads-up play by his battery mate Erie to catch an Eagle trying to steal.
The Eagles still couldn't figure out Smith in the fifth, as he pitched around a single and a walk to keep the score at 1-0. Smith then sat Morehead State down in order once again in the sixth before an RBI groundout led to an unearned run scoring in the seventh.
Smith started the eighth inning and recorded a quick out but was removed after a pair of walks. The Eagles then pieced together a pair of two-out runs to take their first lead of the game at 3-1.
After Lundgrin's heroics in the top of the ninth, the Skyhawks got something going in their final at-bat. Paublini lined a one-out single to left field and advanced to second after Taylor Cox drew a walk. However, Morehead State's Matt Duncan then entered the contest and induced a flyout to center and popout to short for his second save of the season.
These two teams will resume their series tomorrow at Skyhawk Field. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.

Change up dessert tonight: Serve them a sweet and creamy pudding or tart and springy gelatin.
Change up dessert tonight: Serve them a sweet and creamy pudding or tart and springy gelatin.
A New Orleans Favorite!
An Armenian Christmas pudding.
When reader Dana K. was a child, her family would pile into their station wagon for Sunday dinner with her grandparents, Ethel and Al Mann of New Castle, Pennsylvania. It was, as she recalls, dinner in the great American tradition: roast beef and potatoes
Noodle pudding, also known as kugel, is a classic comfort food often served at Hanukkah. This dessert version is sweetened with cinnamon, raisins and apples.
This unusual pudding comes from Cindy M., whose grandmother used to make a huge batch every Thanksgiving using ripe persimmons from her backyard in Clark County, Illinois.
Watching their own soufflé puff into a light and delectable dessert is a great way for kids to gain insight into how the distinctive texture and flavor of a dish are created. For this recipe, you'll need eight 3-inch ramekins or ovenproof bowls.
These creepy peepers are a cool snack to serve Halloween party guests.
An easy dessert that's bursting with genuine butterscotch flavor.
Make a cupcake made of Jell-O.
When made of Jell-O®, this creature isn't such a frightful fellow. He is, however, a wee bit jiggly -- and sure to make your children giggly.
Here's a recipe that turns humble ingredients -- bread, eggs, milk, and raisins -- into a rich and satisfying dessert. It also makes for a tempting breakfast item reheated in the microwave and served with milk, cream, or yogurt.

State tables (last updated 03/06/2014) are available for FY 2013, FY 2014 Appropriations and FY 2015 estimates.
Fiscal years 2013 and 2014 are based on appropriation bills that provided funding under current law.
The amounts listed for FY 2013 include the effect of the sequester and an across-the-board cut in the final appropriation.
Funds included in the State-by-State tables are for agency programs that allocate funds to States or local educational agencies using statutory formulas. The totals do not reflect all Department of Education funds that a State receives. States and other entities may also receive Department funds awarded on a competitive basis. These tables also include financial support from selected student aid programs that provide funds to postsecondary institutions located in the State, as well as the new federally supported loans made to students attending postsecondary institutions located in the State.
Each of the State tables by State shows subtotals for:
- Elementary and Secondary Education Act programs;
- All elementary and secondary education programs;
- Postsecondary education programs;
- Rehabilitative services and disability research programs; and
- Student loan volume.
The data on these tables are for information purposes only and do not constitute any binding agreement on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education.
- State tables by program in PDF [437KB] and MS Excel [329KB]
- State tables by State in PDF [804KB] and MS Excel [520KB]
Updating the State tables The State tables are posted and updated as a package, rather than on an individual basis. As a result, changes are not necessarily made to every program and/or every State each time the tables are updated. Major updates normally are posted for significant milestones in the appropriations process, such as the President's Budget Request and enactment of an appropriation. Major changes also are made when final allocations occur for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act programsusually in July. In addition, routine updates are performed each month, as needed, and typically reflect only minor changes.
For further information contact the ED Budget Service.
