Portrait and Biographical Album of Henry County, Iowa
Unless otherwise specified, biographies submitted by Pat Ryan White.
He is
among the oldest and best known citizens of Henry County. He was born in Sussex
Co., Del., Apr 2, 1816, and is a son of Robert and Hannah (Hazard) Campbell,
both natives of the same state, where their whole lives were passed. They were
the parents of four sons and three daughters who grew up. Besides the subject of
this sketch, one other member of this family is now living, a brother, John S.,
who is now in his 77th year and is a resident of Pasadena, CA. Both of his
parents died when Alfred J. was six years old, and he went to live with older
brothers and sisters. He received such education as the schools of that day
afforded, and was reared on a farm until he was 14 years old, when he came West
with an older brother, William H., who kept a general store at Shelbyville, IN.
He was in his brother's employ for eight years, when he began on his own account
in the same town. Two years later he began trading in the South, and sometimes
clerking, usually spending the summers in the North.
On the
breaking out of the Mexican War, Mr. Campbell enlisted in the 3rd IN Volunteers
under Capt. Sullivan, their Colonel being the celebrated James H. Lane, of KS
border war fame. He participated in the battle of Buena Vista, fought by Gen.
Taylor against tremendous odds, and which was one of the most brilliant
victories of that war.
On his
return, he again settled in Shelby Co., IN. Mr. Campbell was married in Sept.
1839, at Dayton, OH, to Miss Mary Sullivan, who died in July 1848. The fruit of
this union was one child who died in infancy. In Sept. 1849, Mr. Campbell was
married to Mrs. Prudence Lockhart, widow of Benjamin Lockhart, of Ripley Co.,
IN, who died July 15, 1848. This couple had no children.
In 1853
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell emigrated to Iowa, settling on a farm in Henry Co., on
which he lived for 20 years. In 1873 he retired from active life on the farm and
removed to his present home in Mt. Pleasant. In early life Mr. Campbell was with
the Democratic Party, but on the breaking out of the Rebellion he joined the
ranks of the Republicans with whom he has ever since affiliated. He is not a
member of any denomination and his wife is a member of the Christian Church. Mr.
Campbell commands the respect of his fellowmen.

Two, Edwin and Martha, are deceased. The mother finished her work on earth Nov.
19, 1851.
Chandler still resides in Mt. Pleasant, and is a man worthy of the deepest
respect and love of all. Though ninety-three years of age, he is in
full possession of all his faculties.
Job Codner, a farmer residing at New London Village, has a finely improved farm of 205 acres adjoining the east city limits, another of seventy-seven acres in the same township, besides forty acres of good timber. Mr. Codner was born at Athens, Athens Co., Ohio, in December, 1820. His father, John C. Codner, was a large land-owner in that county, but was born in Rhode Island, his parents being of French descent. The name originally was Cadnea, but was changed to Codner by the founder of the family in America. John Chaplin Codner, our subject's father, was a farmer by occupation, and died in 1823, when his son Job was in his fourth year. His wife, Job's mother, was Fanny Tillinghast before marriage. She was also born in Rhode Island, and was of English descent. Her death occurred in 1828. Left an orphan at the age of eight years, Job was placed in the care of a widow, Mrs. Esther Miller Mingham, a Connecticut woman of sterling practical sense and kind heart, and under her judicious care Job was reared to industrious, frugal habits, and taught to be truthful, upright and honest. Mr. Codner still reveres the memory of his foster mother as one who did much to lay the foundation of a character that has aided him materially in his successful business career.
Mr. Codner was married at Athens, Ohio, to a "maid of Athens," Miss Hannah Raynor Graham, daughter of Josiah and Clarissa (Raynor) Graham, a native of Athens. Mrs. Codner's father was born in Scotland during a brief sojourn of his parents in that country while refugees from the North of Ireland during the Irish rebellion. His people were Scotch-Irish of the old-school Presbyterian sort. He emigrated to America in his youth, and married Miss Clarissa Raynor on Long Island. Mrs. Graham was born on Long Island and was of Scotch parentage.
Mr. and Mrs. Codner have two children, sons: Henry Hayes, born near West Point, Lee Co., Iowa, Nov. 17, 1850, who is a farmer of New London Township; the younger son, John C., was also born near West Point, Iowa, on the 6th of April, 1855, and is married to Lillie Biesen, and is a farmer of New London Township, where he has a well-improved farm of eighty-one acres. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Codner have three children, two daughters and a son: Irena Maude, born Sept. 16, 1882; Mabel May, born Dec. 5, 1884, and Leroy Champlin, born Sept. 3, 1887. Mr. Codner came to Iowa in 1847, purchasing a farm in Lee County and then returning to Ohio. He sold his land soon afterward, but returned to Iowa with his family in 1850, and purchased another farm near West Point, Lee County, which he improved and cultivated until 1864. He then came to Henry County, locating in New London Village, and one year later purchased a farm in New London Township and again engaged in tilling the soil. Having a turn for speculation, and possessing a good knowledge of values, he sold and bought several farms in rapid succession, making money by every transfer. In 1878 he purchased the farm of 205 acres near the east village limits which he still owns, and the elegant residence in the village, his present home. Mr. Codner has not confined himself strictly to farm life, but has traveled over the world more or less. In 1856 he made a trip to Texas, going overland through the Indian Territory. He left home in September, 1856, spent the winter in Texas and returned via the Red River, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri. While in North Missouri he was stricken with Spanish or yellow fever and came near dying. He reached home on the 25th of May, 1857. On the 16th of September, 1869, he started with his family for a cruise to the Pacific Slope, spent two months in California, visiting San Fsancisco and other chief points of interest, and then returned to Iowa. In his younger days he was an old-line Whig, and on the formation of the Republican party, joined that organization, and has since been an earnest supporter of the party. Mr. and Mrs. Codner are members of the Baptist Church, and are highly respected by that society and by the entire community in which they make their home.

Robert S. Cole, deceased, a prominent citizen of
Henry County, was born in Dearborn County, Ind., Nov.. 23, 1822. His parents
were Solomon and Sarah (Remy) Cole. His father was a native of Maryland, born of
English parents, his mother was of French descent. Solomon Cole was a practical
farmer and teacher, and was a man of superior ability and culture. His family
consisted of a wife and nine children, of whom our subject was the third. They
came to Iowa by teams, in 1851. The father was a confirmed invalid at the time,
and the elder sons took all the responsibility and care of the family. On coming
to this county the family purchased 250 acres of land, situated about twelve
miles north of Mt. Pleasant. The title of one-half of this property was vested
in the parents' name, and one-half in the names of James W. and Robert S., the
elder sons. There the sons prepared a home for their parents, and cared for them
during the remainder of their lives. They conducted the business of the farm and
raised stock until 1849, when they removed to the city of Mt. Pleasant, and
engaged in the lightning rod and pump business. Their first order was for $50
worth of lightning rods. The remittance of $50 was lost, but they received the
rods. This business was established by J.W. and R.S. Cole. They soon added the
manufacture of pumps to their trade, the work being done at Greencastle, Ind.
Their venture was successful from the start, and they rapidly extended their
line of operations. Two younger brothers, William and John, were admitted to the
partnership, and in 1865 they formed and incorporated a company for the
continuance of the business, with a paid-up capital of $30,000. They formed a
limited partnership with their employes, establishing branch sale stations
extending through Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and other States, having in all at one
time fourteen branch stations, and employing from 150 to 200 men. At the
expiration of the limit of the first corporation, in 1875, they formed a new
corporation with a paid-up capital of $200,000. The Cole Brothers built up an
immense business, and enjoyed a reputation for fair dealing and good work that
marked a new era in the pump and lightning rod business. The elder brothers, J.W.
and R.S., were associated in business twenty-five years before they had a
settlement. During all that time their business relations were so harmonious and
satisfactory that they had no unpleasantness whatever. They had everything in
common, and although each of them had families, they had no separate accounts.
Robert S. Cole, the subject of this sketch, was
married near Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, Dec. 24, 1846, to Miss Mary Jane Hutton,
daughter of Rev. Samuel Hutton, an early and highly respected pioneer of Henry
County. Her mother's maiden name was Mary Levi. She was born in North Carolina,
and was of German descent. Mrs. Cole's father was born in Pennsylvania, and he
was also of German descent. He was a minister of the Baptist Church, and did
much preaching in the West. Mrs. Cole was born in Sangamon County, Ill., Sept
27, 1827. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Cole, five daughters and
three sons: Anna E. is the widow of Edward O. Boone and is a teacher in the
Indian Territory; she has one child a son, Victor C.; Sarah J. is the wife of
William Ridpath, an attorney of Brazil, Ind., they have three children; Laura M.
resides with her mother; Hayden R. died Oct. 6, 1876, aged twenty-one years;
William T. married Annie Maxwell, and resides at Council Bluffs, Iowa; Jay S. is
engaged in the lightning rod business at Greencastle, Ind.; Mary and Minnie
reside with their mother.
Mr. Cole continued to reside at Mt. Pleasant
until 1880, when he removed to Council Bluffs, where he purchased the interest
of one of their branch partners, and carried on the business at that point until
the time of his death, Feb. 28, 1884. After his death his heirs parted with
their interest in the business to Mr. Cole's brothers, Jan. 1, 1887.
Mr. Cole united with the Baptist Church when he
was a youth, and was a zealous Christian during his life, prompt and liberal in
support of the church and of missions, and charitable and kind to the poor and
distressed. He was a philanthropist in the broadest sense of the word. He
contributed liberally to the erection of the Baptist Church at Mt. Pleasant, and
after having removed to Council Bluffs he made a liberal donation to repair the
church after it was wrecked by a cyclone. He also took an active part in behalf
of the church at Council Bluffs, and was foremost in all good works. A man whose
word was regarded as inviolate, he enjoyed an enviable reputation in the
community. After his death his widow and three daughters resided in Council
Bluffs until July, 1887, when they returned to Mt. Pleasant, to the home which
Mr. Cole had made in that city, which they had never parted with, and which is a
commodious and comfortable residence.
He is a
farmer in Baltimore Twp. The Collins family came from Indiana to this county in
1850. Henry B. Collins, the father of our subject, was born in NY, and his wife,
Catherine Shannon, in Pennsylvania. They were married in Ohio Co., IN where our
subject, the eldest son, was born. His birth was followed by that of Adelia,
wife of Robert Wood; William who wedded Rachel Bunker; George, husband of Ella
Shelledy; Mary, wife of R. T. Wood; Julia, deceased, wife of Jonathan Bunker;
Deborah J., wife of Stephen Shelledy; Olive B., wife of John Grubb; Margaret,
wife of George Hannah, which comprised the family. Henry's children all reside
in Henry Co., except for Mary who resides in Webster Co.
Henry came to this county he purchased 206 acres on Sect. 30, Baltimore Twp., on
which his son George resides. Henry B. Collins died July 30, 1877, aged 68, and
his widow died Apr. 26, 1886. Our subject was born Jan. 5, 1838, and
married in 1859 to Miss Phoebe E. Kent of Lee County. She was born Nov. 22, 1842
in Montgomery Co., Ohio. Her parents are H. Tapley and Cynthia (Crossley) Kent.
They came from Montgomery Co., OH in 1856 to Lee County. Her mother is still
living in Cawker City, KS, and of their children, three sons and one daughter:
William married Emma Glover; Theodore married Lizzie Carmichael; Ross is
unmarried and resides in the West, and Phoebe is the wife of John Collins.

one in Mills Co., Iowa and the rest of his married life has been passed in Henry
have 8 children: Lucy M. wife of Adam Myers; William; Annie, Bertha,
Tapley, Belle, Thurman and Frank. William is now a teacher in KS, and
with Annie and Bertha completed a course at the Denmark Academy. Annie
is now teaching in Cawker City, KS. In company with his brother
George, a dairy was established on the H. B. Collins farm in June 1887.
The capacity of the cheese factory is 150 pounds a day, and they are
using fifty cows in the dairy.
HENRY COOK submitted by Richard Barton
HENRY COOK, a farmer of Henry County, residing in Baltimore Township, was born near Bealfeldt, Prussia, in 1836. His parents, Casper and Elizabeth Cook, were both born, reared and married in that country, and there they reared a family of five children, and the widows of two of the sons yet reside there. Casper Cook was a shoemaker, and worked at the trade during his lifetime. His children were Fred, Henry, Annie, William and Casper.
Our subject left Prussia when a lad of sixteen years, in company with his Uncle Bremger, who settled in Burlington, Iowa, and lived and died there. Only a few dollars were in the pockets of our subject when he landed in Burlington, but he at once secured work on a farm at $4 per month. For seven years he worked in that county, and when his marriage was celebrated in 1860 he was worth all told $126. His wife was Mary A. Hand, a lady possessing an equal amount of energy as Mr. Cook, so they concluded to rent a farm near the city, and from the day they were married prosperity has been with them and has come to stay. Who can say that it was not due to the good counsels and associations with a good wife, for from the time they began their united efforts they have reared a fine family of industrious children, and have become owners of a splendid farm; all this, too, in a few years. After a residence in Des Moines County of fourteen years Mr. Cook became a resident of Henry County, and purchased eighty acres of land, on which he now resides, that had once been cleared, but had gone back to brush. He built a small frame house and commenced work, and from four in the morning until ten at night he could be found digging and clearing. A few years later, having brought his first purchase to paying good returns on the investment, he bought other lands, cleared them in the same way, and now has 230 broad acres all in fine order, over 100 in cultivation. All his money has been invested in improvements and land, and his fine house and barn are the best between New London and Lowell. The nice orchard was planted and the well planned arrangements of house and barn were perfected by him. Surely, Mr. Cook and his good wife are entitled to much credit for such enterprise, and as their children have grown to man and womanhood, they have been taught the same convictions of right and honesty of purpose possessed by their parents.
The names of the children are: Olive L., wife of Charles Ranes; Edward H., Horace C., Lyman, Martha E. and Florence. The unmarried five children live in a magnificent home with their beloved parents, who are regarded by their neighbors as a model couple. Both are members of the Christian Church, and as a family we learn of none who are more worthy and entitled to greater honor for having, during a quarter of a century, achieved a competence. Their home is supplied with all that makes life enjoyable. Flowers fill the room with fragrance, and the neatest of housewives makes welcome her guests in that cordial manner for which the family are noted. Mr. Cook is largely engaged in raising of stock, and year by year his income becomes greater. With his indomitable energy, ten years more of active labor will rank him among the wealthiest men of his township, and his reward is and will be a fitting recompense for that labor.
OBADIAH HARRIS COOK submitted by Richard Barton
OBADIAH HARRIS COOK, a resident of section 36, Salem Township, was born in Preble County, Ohio, in 1834, and is a son of Nathan and Sarah (Denny) Cook. The paternal ancestors were of English origin, and the maternal of Irish. The union of the couple named was celebrated in Ohio, but Nathan and his second wife, the mother of O. H., came from the Carolinas, where both were born. They cleared a farm in Preble County and upon that farm their children were all born. The first wife, who was a Miss Comer, bore two children: Jonathan, who is wedded to Susannah Beason, and Martha, the wife of Samuel Maddock. After the death of the first wife Nathan married Sarah Denny, who in that State bore Elizabeth, now wife of Henry Lamm; William, who wedded Lucinda Bales; Susannah, wife of Wheeler Davis; Isaac, husband of Mary J. Bishop; Hannah wedded first to Cyrus Coffin, and after his death, married Jabez B. Smith; Charity married David Thatcher; Eli, unmarried, finds a home with our subject; Henry W., deceased, was married to Laura Davis; then came our subject, followed by the birth of Louisa, deceased; Elihu, who is married to Mary Pope, and Eliza and Amos, who died unmarried. In 1839 the parents came to this county, and made a location upon the same farm now owned and tilled by his son. This was then in its virgin state, but the Quaker family soon made it a fine farm, and upon the new land splendid crops grew. Nathan paid Gideon Frasier $7 per acre at that early day for part of the farm, entering the east eighty acres. Upon this farm both the father and mother died, she at the age of seventy, and he at eighty-six. The historian has learned much of their goodness, and finds it only necessary to state that their children have proved themselves worthy of such parents. From the age of five years our subject grew to manhood on the farm, and at the age of twenty-two Miss Elizabeth Fisher became his wife. She was the daughter of John and Esther Fisher, who emigrated from New Jersey to this State in 1842, and made a location at Ft. Madison. J. Fisher, Jr., a brother, was for a number of years engaged in business in Salem, leaving that village in 1887 for Clarinda, Iowa. Another brother, Alexander, is still in business in Salem. There was a large number of children born to Mr. Fisher, who was twice married. The second wife was Eliza Jane Alterman, both bearing children to him.
The marriage of our subject to Miss Fisher was celebrated April 17, 1856. Their domestic life was begun and has been continued upon the old home, and their children have all been born in the roomy old mansion: Amos E. wedded Florence Rice; Edwin W., Clifton H. and Cora B. are unmarried. The two eldest children are now in business. Amos graduated in law at Iowa City, and is a practicing attorney at Malvern, Iowa; Edwin graduated in medicine at Iowa City, and is a resident physician of Plattsmouth, Neb; Clifton graduated in stenography at Iowa City the winter of 1887; Cora is completing her education, and makes the old home cheerful by her presence. Mr. Cook has served his township in positions of trust for several years. He has been one of the energetic men who have aided in making this one of the noteworthy counties of Southeastern Iowa. Through the endeavors of Mr. Cook, George W. Tyner and X. H. Arnold, the Salem District Fair has been made a success, and in 1887, the third year, was largely attended. The premium list awarded was $25O, and Mr. Cook is now upon his second term as President of the society. The grading and breeding of stock are largely due to such enterprise, and to such men we are pleased to give proper credit. As a man and citizen Mr. Cook justly holds a front rank in Salem Township.
WILLIAM A. CRABTREE is a prominent farmer and stock-raiser of Henry County, Iowa, residing upon section 3, Marion Township. He was born in Monroe County Ky., Jan. 24, 1827. His parents were Hiram and Margaret (Johnson) Crabtree. They were natives of Virginia, but were married in Kentucky, where ten children were born to them, six of whom are now living: Abraham married Miss Lucinda Murphy; they reside on a farm in Mercer County, Ill., and have a family of seven children. John M. was united in marriage with Melinda King; he is a farmer in Tazewell County, Ill. Elizabeth, who is the widow of John S. Hamilton, resides in Scott County, Ill.; Mary is the wife of S.H. Redman, a nurseryman in Villisca, Iowa, who for a number of years ran a steam ferry at Keithsburg, Ill.; Michael died in 1862, in Scott County, Ill.; Hiram died at Nashville, Tenn., while fighting for his country; Stephen is farming in Tazewell County, Ill.; Catherine, the widow of W.A. Kirkpatrick, is residing in Scott County, Ill.; our subject is tenth in order of birth. In the year 1830 Mr. Crabtree emigrated with his family to Illinois, locating in what was at that time Morgan County, but which has since been divided, they living in the part known as Scott County. Here the children grew to man and womanhood, except one child who died in infancy. Here the parents both departed this life, the father dying Sept. 13, 1844, at the age of seventy-one; his wife following him to that home of the redeemed on the 22d of June, 1868, at the age of eighty-three. They were devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Mr. Crabtree being a local minister. He was one who did much to civilize and christianize the new community in which he lived.
On account of the death of his father, our subject was compelled to take charge of the farm and care for the family, and for one so young, he being but seventeen, it was a great responsibility. His education was received in such spare moments as he could find from farm work. He remained in charge of the farm until the age of twenty-two, then going to Winchester he learned the trade of plow stocking and carpentering. Making Winchester his home, he followed that trade for twenty-one years, or until the year 1870, when he came to Henry County. Buying 360 acres of land on sections 3 and 4, of Marion Township, he has since given his attention to farming and stock-raising. Mr. Crabtree was united in marriage with Miss Eliza A. Martin, on the 6th of August, 1854, in Scott County, Ill. She is the daughter of Samuel and Susan (Sisson) Martin, who were natives of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree are the parents of four children: Dora, who died in infancy; Nettie Belle, who was born in 1857, is the wife of Winfield S. Hickman, a farmer of Frontier County, Neb.; they have one son, Frederick G. Charles L. was united in marriage with Miss Estella Foster, who is a native of Henry County, Iowa. They are the happy parents of one child, Edmund C. These three children were born in Scott County, Ill.; William H., their fourth child, was born in Henry County.
Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree
are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, taking an active interest
in all church work. They are highly respected in the community in which
they reside, and are always ready to advance an enterprise that is for
the public good. Mr. Crabtree has held various township offices, both
in Illinois and Iowa, and has been Assessor for two years. Politically
he is a Republican, but in favor of prohibition.

Woolsington is a village in and also a civil parish of City of Newcastle in Tyne and Wear, England. It is north-west of the city centre, and covers a large geographical area. It is one of the city's 26 electoral wards, although the ward is slightly larger than the civil parish, extending slightly further south. The parish also includes Newbiggin Hall, Woolsington village and Newcastle Airport. It had a population of 11,160 as of the 2011 UK census.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Woolsington from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
Woolsington was also a township in the ancient parish of Newburn and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 it was part of Castle Ward Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish expanded by absorbing the neighbouring parishes of Black Callerton, Newbiggin by Newburn and West Brunton. (Source:A Vision of Britain through Time) In 1974 it became part of City of Newcastle in the newly formed county of Tyne and Wear, England.

Perez Hilton Breaks Sony BMG Embargo After 24 Hours In Interest Of Self-Promotion
You just know that the "news" of the Sony BMG-signed John Mayer making out with the rainbow-haired gossipeuse is going to result in a directive from the VP of publicity at the company to all the promoters dealing with its male artists, telling them to get their tongues wagging in Perezzers' general direction ASAP in an effort to work around his "ban" on the label's artists. (And maybe Beth Ditto, since she seems like she'd be up for some gender-bending.) [Perez Hilton]

I Got You, Babe
Matt Tavares (l.), author of the picture book biography Becoming Babe Ruth (Candlewick), did not have the benefit of meeting his subject in person. But on August 4 he got together with Julia Ruth Stevens (r.) – the baseball legend's daughter, age 97 – in Ogunquit, Maine, where Tavares lives and where the Ruth family visits each summer. The two were also joined by Babe Ruth's great-grandson Brent, who previously had interviewed Tavares about the book for his [Web site] Baberuthcentral.com, which is devoted to all things Babe.
'Creatures' Featured
Author Michael Hearst (l.) gave a multimedia performance based on the animals profiled in his book Unusual Creatures (Chronicle) at The Booksmith in San Francisco. During the event, Hearst revealed that he's not only an author and animal lover, but an accomplished musician as well – in fact, he has released an album of instrumental songs inspired by his unusual subjects. While video footage of animals like the blue-footed booby, Jesus Christ lizard, and blobfish played, Hearst serenaded the audience of young nature enthusiasts by playing the accordion, theremin, and Stylophone. After the presentation, author and bookseller Colin Winnette (r.) shared his favorite "unusual creature" from the book– the author himself.
A Chummy Illustrator Event
Illustrator Timothy Basil Ering signed copies of Wild Boy: The Real Savage of Aveyron by Mary Losure (Candlewick), The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo (Candlewick), and other books featuring his art during an event at Brewster Bookstore in Brewster, Mass. Here, the local Cape Cod artist poses with the bookstore's staff (from l.) Savannah Hollis, Val Arroyo, Ering, Jane Mackenzie, Jean Mackenzie, and John Landon. Not pictured are Ering's two enthusiastic sons, Finn and Sawyer, who reportedly handed out bear hugs and high fives throughout the signing.
'Gate'-d Community
Debut author Amy Christine Parker's YA novel Gated (Random House) was released on August 6 to great fanfare close to home – actually, in her home. Parker's husband and two daughters donned Gated t-shirts and toted balloons. "I'm pretty proud of them," Parker said. "They're so supportive!" The Florida resident will be making several appearances throughout the fall, beginning with an September 14 launch at Inkwood Books in Tampa; her blog tour is already in full swing.

I had suddenly developed red itchy patches of rashes all over my face and I needed something that would alleviate the crazy itchiness and horrible redness. I went to Walgreens and purchased this because I heard aloe vera being a soothing agent for itchy skin and its ability to combating dryness. I'm so happy I purchased this because right when I applied it on my skin, my skin felt cool and it didn't feel itchy! Also, it moisturized my skin really well. I no longer have extremely dry skin that flakes off when I scratch due to itchiness. What I'm also pleased is that my redness dramatically reduced! I no longer have red patches of itchy looking rashes on my skin!
The aloe vera gel works so well on my skin that I've added it into my everyday skin care routine. I always apply this after my face cream and my skin feels soft and refreshed overnight.
The Walgreens aloe vera gel is extremely affordable! I'm going to repurchase this when I run out! It was a total lifesaver!

Not only is the Walgreens Aloe Vera Gel fantastic (and not overpowering in scent), the Aloe Vera Lotion is just as awesome. I usually wear my Walgreens or Vaseline Brand Cocoa Butter Lotion on my arms and legs after I shave, it's an HG lotion of mine...but tonight I decided to use my Aloe Vera lotion (that I use typically during summer months, just to switch things up a little) and my legs are SUPER soft and smooth after applying to my legs. I primarily use my aloe vera gel and lotion after a day in the sun, but I think that I have been missing out not using these products for mosturization in general...so, I wanted to let all my beauty pals know! ; )

I had a very bad sunburn during my vacation to the beach this year. This Aloe Vera Gel really came in handy when the peeling set in. It isn't very expensive and does the trick..not to mention the other uses besides healing burns.

This is a clear Aloe Vera Gel that says, "alcohol free" on the package. I have had this for quite some time, keeping it in the fridge for minor burns. Though clearly aloe vera gel has many uses, I recently began using it as a brow setting gel and it works great! I have thick brows with some longer hairs I must brush into place and set. I cannot cut them as my whole brow seems to lose its shape when I do.
Therefore I have tried countless products, the made for brows stuff, several brands, hair gels, hairspray on a brow brush etc. While all work to some extent, none work that well. This reminds me most of the consistency of clear mascaras which I think I have liked the most for brows but somehow they last me at most 2 weeks. Because they reminded me of the gel I decided to try it. The reason it works is unlike many brow products, this dries. So after you apply some to your brows, then brush them into the shape you want, it will set and stay that way. Once dry I ever so lightly put a little more on my brows to give them a sheen
Works well, you get a ton of product for the money, has many other uses, will last forever when used for brows alone, and safer for skin near one's eye than hairspray or even gel. Worth a shot if you're unhappy with what you're using now to set your brows.

In a resumption of his campaign against business aviation, President Obama yesterday called for an end to "tax breaks" for corporate jet owners. The outcry from general aviation quickly followed the White House press conference during which Obama lumped corporate aircraft in with millionaires, billionaires, oil companies and hedge-fund managers as targets for closing "loopholes in the tax code." NBAA said the President repeatedly denigrated business airplane owners and operators, apparently to make a case that current tax "depreciation schedules" for GA airplanes are too short and should be lengthened. "Nine months ago, this President extolled the virtues of shortening depreciation schedules to stimulate jobs," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. "Now he seems to want to reverse course and push ahead with punitive treatment for general aviation, an industry that creates jobs, helps companies succeed and serves communities all around America." Leaders of other GA organizations also weighed in. Matt Zuccaro, president of the Helicopter Association International, stressed that while all the current rhetoric appears to be directed toward "corporate jets," any change to the depreciation schedule would apply to pistons, turboprops and rotorcraft. "Democrats now see elimination of tax breaks and a change in the depreciation schedule for general aviation aircraft as politically attractive," Zuccaro said in a "Call to Action" to HAI members.

SKY RANCH INTERNATIONAL SERVICE TRIP: Belize
Sky Ranch is proud to partner with Praying Pelicans Missions to offer a service experience in Belize. The focus of the trip is to partner with local individuals and congregations, to hear their story, and to walk beside them, offering our gifts of service and love.
Belize is an English speaking country located in Central America and borders Mexico and Guatemala. The capital, Belmopan, is carved out of the jungle in the center of Belize, near the Maya Mountain foothills. Belize City, over 300 years old and the country's main commercial area and seaport, is the largest city, boasting over 80,000 inhabitants and continually growing. It combines a mixture of colonial architecture, functional wooden buildings and historic cathedrals, exuding a ramshackle charm. Other towns of note are Dangriga, Punta Gorda, and the blooming beach town Placencia to the south, and Orange Walk and Corozal to the north.
In Belize, we will be staying in a hotel and working within a local community. During the day we will work on construction projects to benefit the community, as well as providing a Vacation Bible School program for neighborhood children. In the evening we will gather with them to listen to their stories and join together in worship. Throughout there will also be a Bible Study and various community building activities.
Praying Pelicans Missions is a missions organization focusing on short term mission trips in Belize,Haiti, Jamaica, and Mexico. Based in Duluth, MN, PPM has a history of safe and professional trips, facilitated through local contacts and local resources. Both PPM and Sky Ranch will have staff present on the trip.
Cost: $925 per participant (doesn't include airfare)
Dates: June 9 – 16, 2012

The more often a gene is differentially expressed, the more likely it is to contain disease-associated DNA variants. Research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology shows how a list of SNPs in genes that are repeatedly implicated across many publicly-available gene expression microarray experiments (so-called, 'fitSNPs'), based on differential expression rates, can be used to successfully prioritize candidate genes for further research.
Atul Butte from Stanford University School of Medicine, USA, led a team of researchers who developed the new way to prioritize candidate SNPs from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). He said, "fitSNPs successfully distinguished true disease genes from false positives in genome-wide association studies looking at multiple diseases, and can serve as a powerful and convenient tool to prioritize disease genes from this type of study."
The hypothesis that there is an association between gene expression and disease-associated variants has never before been demonstrated with such clarity and at this global scale. The authors have robustly demonstrated that the likelihood of having variants associated with disease was 12 times higher among differentially expressed genes compared to constantly expressed genes. According to Butte, "As a case study, we looked at type 1 diabetes mellitus. We derived a list of fitSNPs to analyze the top seven loci of the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) genome-wide association studies. We then rediscovered all T1DM genes, and predicted a novel gene for a previously unexplained locus."
There are many candidate gene and SNP prioritization methods, and while the authors acknowledge that no single method is perfect, they suggest that using fitSNPs in a complementary fashion with other prioritization methods will significantly lower experimental costs.

George: I still think Jason Garrett is coaching the Cowboys in 2013
Brandon George, Cowboys beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the team in a live chat on Tuesday. Here are the highlights.
What does it say about two coaching regimes, Phillips and Garrett, that couldn't get much out of Martellus Bennett while the Giants have apparently gotten a lot from him?
Well, Bennett was in a different situation in Dallas. He was the clear No. 2 tight end for the Cowboys behind starter Jason Witten. In New York, he's the lead guy for the Giants. That makes a big difference. That said, the Cowboys didn't take advantage of Bennett's talent combined with Bennett not maximizing his potential with the Cowboys for whatever reason. There's a shared blame there, I believe.
Is it out of the realm of possibility to dream that somehow, someway, we could get Coach Payton to clean up this mess created by the GM?
I can't see that happening. First off, I think Jason Garrett is coaching the Cowboys in 2013. Secondly, why would Payton want to coach the Cowboys?
With the humongous amount of injuries to this team will they replace the strengths and conditioning coach?
I can't see the Cowboys replacing strength and conditioning coach Mike Woicik. They really value Woicik and he's among the most-respected strength and conditioning coaches in the NFL because of all his Super Bowl rings.

On the Newsstand: 10 Questions for Chairman Dean
Howard Dean — the current chairman of the Democratic National Committee, former presidential candidate, and ex-physician — took ten questions from everyday Americans in the most recent issue of Time. They didn't hold much back! Here are some of the highlights:
Why does the Democratic Party have superdelegates? The initial purpose was to encourage officeholders to come to the convention, which they did not do in 1980 when there was a battle between President [Jimmy] Carter and Senator [Ted] Kennedy over the nomination. We've had them for 25 years for that reason.
Would you support an effort to create a single nationwide primary day? Absolutely not. I think we do need to condense the schedule, but I also think that if you have them on a single day, it's like having a national election. We learn a lot about these candidates as they go through all these states.
Do you favor the elimination of the Electoral College? Yes.
To find out his reasoning why,
It's unrepresentative of where the American people are. It was fine for the days of the Pony Express, but it's not necessary to avoid a popular vote on Presidents now.
People disapprove of the job Congress is doing. Does that mean the gains made in the 2006 election will be lost in 2008? No. The public clearly agrees with Democrats on the major issues of the economy, the war and health care, and I think they feel very frustrated that the Republicans are preventing any of the reforms that the public wanted in 2006 from going into effect.
To find out what Chairman Dean has to say about his hands-off approach as DNC chairman, the candidate's healthcare plans, and the Dean Scream, check out the article. Do you think Dean could be doing more to steer the Democratic Party back into the White House?

uselessI bought all the treatment and it just make nothing, it was expensive and useless — 4 years, 9 months agoCorinaFA | 73 reviews
It's averageI believe this cream suits more the normal combination maybe even oily types. It just does not cut it for dry dehydrated skin types.

Say It Ain't So!Estee Lauder doesn't make this anymore! I got a jar of it some time ago and I am eeking out every last drop. Good news though! They have a new cream called "Skin Perfecting Cream" that is wonderful. It is more then a moisturizer as it also has some firming power. It makes my skin soft and moisturizes all day long. Especially in these cold winter months. So if you liked Hyrda Complete, you'll love their "Skin Perfecting Cream". — 8 years, 10 months agoDramaMartini | 81 reviews
the best moisturizer!I have really dry skin and it gets flaky on my forehead during the winter and I tried so many different kinds of mositurizers and nothing worked as well as this one. It smells great and comes on smooth and refreshing. I recommend this to everyone! — 9 years, 1 month agobeautyexpert7 | 3 reviews
Excellent for older skinMy mother and I both use this product. I suffer from combination skin and mother has dry skin, and this product has produced results for both of us. A little goes a long way, so the value is excellent. I definately recommend for the 40s and up age group! — 9 years, 3 months agowadaduga | 5 reviews

weird skinI have dry skin in the summers and oily skin in the winter time which is a bit strange. My skin gets so dry and tends to have those rough patches.

- This is a situation in which you really should have a database, rather than hard coding the login information into the program itself. You can have a 'User' table with a column for username and password, and then run a query to look for an item where the username and password equal the user supplied data.
- If it's absolutely impossible to use a database, then I'd create a Dictionary that holds onto the login information rather than using arrays like you have there. Have the username as the key, and the password as the value. You can check if the username entered is in the dictionary, and if it is then compare the user supplied password with the password that corresponds to that key in the dictionary.
- It's best to not store the password in plaintest, either in code or in a database. You should store the hash of that password so that even if some malicious user is able to get ahold of the hash, they still can't login to the system or even determine what the password was. The idea is simple. Choose a hashing algorithm (.NET has several implementations in it's library, so you don't even need to code them yourself). Hash your passwords using that algorithm, store the hashes, and don't store the actual passwords anywhere. When a user sends a username and password, hash the password right away. If the two hashes match, they are the same password.
Better create a new class like LoggesUsers, and then create a list<T> (T will be this class) and add each user`s data into list.
class LoggedUser { public string Username {get; set:} public string Password {get; set;} } inside your class on a load time instantiate new list: List<LoggedUser> users; void LoadingTiem() { users = new List<LoggedUser>(); } //in that ctlLogin_Authenticate method do after all ok: LoggedUser user = new LoggedUser(); user.UserName = "some name"; user.Password = "some passowrd"; users.Add(user); //do the same for other users!
@servy42 I need to hardcore the username and password in my code itself. that is the requirement. Dictionary method is useful but i never used it. can you tell me how to do it??
Create a new dictionary with a string key and value. Use the 'Add' method to add the username/password combinations. Use the 'ContainsKey' method to determine if an item already exists. Use the indexer to get a value for a particular key (i.e. string someValue = myDictionary["someKey"]; ).
You can look at the MSDN page for Dictionary along with doing some web searches for more in-depth tutorials on how to use a Dictionary.
Once you start working on the project you should feel free to post an updated code snippet if you are having problems or just would like me to look over your code.

WASHINGTON -- For a change, people were laughing with John Kerry, not at him.
Through much of his political career, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, his party's 2004 presidential nominee, was easily lampooned for his awkward self-importance. But when he showed up in Foggy Bottom Monday for his first day as secretary of state, Kerry delivered punch lines without strain or struggle.
"So here's the big question that's before the country and the world and the State Department after the last eight years," he told hundreds of diplomats who packed the State Department lobby to greet him. "Can a man actually run the State Department?"
As the laughter and applause died, he added, "As the saying goes, I have big heels to fill."
He continued, easily and smoothly, for just 14 minutes (in the Senate, it took Kerry that long just to clear his throat), without notes and with obvious joy at beginning what he called the "great adventure" of being the nation's top diplomat.
Mentioning the cubicle he occupied during the transition between Hillary Clinton's tenure and his, Kerry told his new colleagues, "I cannot tell you how great it feels to, sort of, be liberated ... I've been freed."
This was true on multiple levels. Kerry, after much striving, was finally where he belonged. At 69, he was in the job he had trained for his whole life -- as a diplomat's son, as a soldier, as a young politician in a hurry, as a failed presidential candidate and as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Often rumored to be in line for the post in the past, Kerry was palpably joyful to have the prized assignment.
"This -- this is beyond a pleasure," he told the diplomats.
Not since John Quincy Adams, perhaps, has a man been bred to be Secretary of State as John Kerry has. A son of the world and a scion of privilege, he struggled to demonstrate the common touch, mocked in 2004 for his wind-surfing and his French. But for this job he's well-suited, literally: He wore a lustrous blue suit and a salmon-pink tie for his first day; as he was being introduced, he fished in his jacket sleeve for his shirt cuff, making it peek out that perfect half inch.
The crowd, though not quite as large as the one for Clinton's departure on Friday, was as adoring as any Kerry has seen since '04. One man carried a hand-lettered sign saying "WELCOME JFK"; some women shouted from the balcony in unison: "Mr. Secretary!" Kerry, preceded by a security squadron, waved, shook hands, and chatted up his audience.
He began with the requisite praise for his predecessor, then invoked the memory of the Americans killed in the assault on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi last year. "I guarantee you that beginning this morning when I report for duty upstairs, everything I do will be focused on the security and safety of our people," he said.
Later, he held up the green diplomatic passport he had as a 4-foot-3, brown-haired child He described his passage to Europe ("the United States government sent us over, the entire family, first class -- don't get any ideas"). And he recalled his unauthorized visit to East Berlin ("When my dad learned what I had done, he was not enthralled ... My passport, this very passport, was promptly yanked, and I was summarily grounded").
"But that was a great adventure," Kerry said. "And I will tell you, 57 years later, today, this is another great adventure."
In the applause that followed his remarks, Kerry pressed his palms together for the crowd, as if in a prayer of thanks.

Wanaka triathelete Tony Dodds won his home-town leg of the Contact Tri Series short-course triathalon last night but declined to take home the prize money.
Dodd's local sponsors chipped in to boost to $10,000 cash the first prize in the elite men's race, on the understanding that if Dodds won then the money would go to charity.
He was first out of the water, had a strong bike ride in the leading bunch of four and never looked back on the run home - finishing in 54min 30sec.
Second, 0.34sec behind, was Ben Phillips, of Christchurch, and third was Australian Bryce McMaster in a 55min 19sec.
The event was the fourth of seven events in the national series.
The expected duel with last year's series winner, Ryan Sissons, of Wellington, did not occur.
Sissons did not make the lead bunch on the bike ride and could not make any gains as he led the chase, eventually setting out on his own to bridge the gap.
On the last of eight laps around Wanaka's waterfront streets, the cramp he was suffering in his calf became so bad he had to stop briefly.
Although he completed the run, Sissons said afterwards he had no option but to ''cruise'' home in sixth place in the elite race.
Dodds said 2013 would be a ''huge'' year for him as he set his sights on the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.
Kate McIlroy, of Wellington, secured back-to-back wins in the series finishing in 58min 5sec - 30sec ahead of Nicky Samuels, of Wanaka. Rebecca Kingsford, of Tirau was third in 58min 51sec.
During the cycle leg, the three women opened up a lead of about 3min over the rest of the small elite field.
But McIlroy dominated from the outset of the run.
McIlroy, the world No 10, also has her eye on the Glasgow Games and said afterwards she had ''unfinished business''.

Well I'm actually a bit worried that the public will purposely vote against Howard's Top 4 (three of which I actually agree with) because they hate him that much, which would eliminate acts I'd really want to see advance. But I hope not.
Well I'm actually a bit worried that the public will purposely vote against Howard's Top 4 (three of which I actually agree with) because they hate him that much, which would eliminate acts I'd really want to see advance. But I hope not.
I sure wouldn't want Shanice & Maurice Hays to make it. They had some bad notes. I really didn't care much for that performance and the judges gushed over them. I'd rather that America vote in Edon but it seems that it would be otherwise that's why I had Shanice & Maurice Hays moving on although they were not that good. Maybe the bike act or the lady singer should move on.
Wow I'm really liking these results so far! For now I thank the public. Although I would have put Edon in the Top 3 over Maurice and Shanice, but fine!
I'm changing my predictions
1. Edon
2. David Garibaldi & His CMYKs
3. Lil Star
4. Scott Brothers
Judges Favorite:
Shanice & Maurice Hays
It's sickening what some people post online after the results don't go their way. Already I'm seeing bigoted comments against Edon for beating Todd Oliver in the judges' vote. I'm glad nobody here is like that, and even if I hate any decisions I express it maybe a bit heavily at times but I don't go that far.
Glad Tim Poe was sent packing quickly and mercifully. I wish, though, that the show had issued a statement about it, since now folks will always wonder.
SO glad Earth Harp guy went through. He was my favorite act. I agree that it was pretty lame that the judges would just eliminate 3 acts without giving them a second chance. What was the point of choosing them in the audition?
Is JE the little girl who sings opera? If so, then you're telling me that she started off on this show? Seriously? OMG, I am . The first time I saw her was a couple of years when she was doing a concert on PBS, and of course they were selling her CD's and DVD's. I literally had no clue that she had begun her career on this show. And she lost? Again, I'm dying here. I guess maybe we could say little Jackie is the "Daughtry" of classical music.This is one reason why the fellow who won Prince Poppycock's and Jackie Evancho's season won - they said these two were better than the singer who won and that he wouldn't win.
Ok, I've got to know. Who won her season? Since I've never heard of this person, I'm guessing they didn't last long post-show.
Maggie: "While she takes care of the men with the guns, why don't you sit down and I'll make you a nice, hot cup of tea?"
Pan Am stewardesses: prepared for anything!
Michael Grimm, another male singer with a backstory, like usual.
Although imo he was kind of good. But of course Jackie was better.
I wanted Prince Poppycock to win and Michael Grimm was my second fav. I never warmed up to Jackie.
Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter.
I thought opera singer Evancho was going to win her season but was surprised she was just a runner up. However, she's having a better career than soulful singer Michael Grimm. Whatever happened to that male country singer who won his season over the female opera singer (looks like we have a trend going on here). I never heard from him again. I think that was the worst winner ever in AGT. He wasn't even that good, he just had a very good back story but for pure talent alone, he shouldn't have been the winner.
Of note - she also was a YouTube entry and I think the ONLY YouTube entry to be really good and make several rounds to the finals.

Genetic Analysis of Human Hereditary Hearing Impairment

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This studied is designed to discover the genes that cause hearing impairment. More precisely, this study aims to map and clone genes that are important for the development and maintenance of the anatomy and physiology related to hearing (auditory system).
The study will begin by finding large families who have members with hearing impairment. Once families are found, members with and without hearing impairment will be evaluated by an audiologist and a clinician (doctor). An audiologist, is a person trained in evaluating, habilitating, and rehabilitating people with disorders of hearing function. The clinician's responsibility is to examine the patients and check for other signs and symptoms related to hearing.
Finding the gene for hearing impairment requires:
- <TAB>DNA samples of hearing impaired family members, taken from standard blood samples.
- <TAB>DNA samples of members of the family without hearing impairment, taken from standard blood samples.
- <TAB>Results of hearing tests conducted by the audiologist for all participants.
Once all members of the family are evaluated researchers can create a pedigree. A pedigree is like a family tree that charts members of a family with a genetic disorder, like hearing impairment. Pedigrees are used to determine the mode of inheritance of the gene responsible for a particular condition.
Finally, researcher intend on using all the information gathered as well as methods for genetic analysis to map out the location of the gene. Patients participating in this study will not directly benefit from its research, but scientific understanding achieved may help researchers better understand the auditory system and someday prevent deafness.<TAB>

It is anticipated that, in most cases, patients will be recruited whose disorders do not appear to be syndromic (i.e. are not associated with extra-auditory or extra-vestibular features).
We seek subjects who are members of large families with multiple individuals affected with a hearing disorder. Sporadic cases will occasionally be included when the phenotype has features suggestive of mutations in one or a few particular candidate genes, since autosomal or X-linked recessive inheritance can appear to be sporadic.
If there is evidence of genetic homogeneity, small families can be pooled for linkage analysis, or a combination of large and small families can be pooled.
Subjects of any ethnic background, gender, age, sexual orientation, or health status will be included.
Patients will be excluded when their hearing or vestibular dysfunction are known to be caused by a nongenetic etiology such as trauma, infection, metabolic or immunologic disorders, or exposure to ototoxic agents such as noise or aminoglycoside antibiotics.

3 Fights for Patrick Cummins to Take NextFebruary 23, 2014
At UFC 170, Patrick Cummins played the sacrificial lamb.
The UFC newcomer stepped up on short notice to give Daniel Cormier a chance to compete in the light heavyweight division. It was hardly an ideal situation, but the matchup gave "DC" a 205-pound warm-up and Cummins a ticket into the world's top MMA promotion.
Despite being bowled over by Cormier on Saturday, Cummins will get another chance inside the Octagon. That was confirmed by UFC president Dana White following the fights this weekend:
Obviously, a step down in competition is in order for Cummins. Here are some more suitable opponents for the 33-year-old.
Robert Drysdale
Like Cummins, Robert Drysdale has a lot of good tools on the ground, but he is also getting a late start to his UFC career at 33 years old.
A two-time NCAA All-American wrestler, Cummins might be willing to go to the ground with Drysdale. The UFC isn't going to find many fighters who are willing to roll with Drysdale, who is among the best jiu-jitsu practitioners in the world, so that alone makes this potential fight interesting.
With Cummins and Drysdale both having fairly big names for UFC newcomers now, it is also a bout that could quickly push the winner up the light heavyweight ladder.
Loser of Francimar Barroso vs. Hans Stringer
Outside a matchup with Drysdale, things get less spectacular for Cummins. His most likely opponent would be another UFC newcomer who lost in his first trip to the Octagon.
At UFC Fight Night 38, Hans Stringer will be making his UFC debut against Francimar Barrosso. Should the 26-year-old Blackzilian fall in that matchup with Barrosso, he'd be one of the top candidates to face Cummins.
While a loss to Drysdale would probably leave Cummins with a third and final opportunity to prove himself at the UFC level, this bout against Stringer would put the UFC 170 loser in a must-win situation right away.
Loser of Ryan Jimmo vs. Steve Bosse
Steve Bosse is another fighter who will be joining the UFC ranks shortly. The Canadian is set to meet fellow countryman Ryan Jimmo in April.
Already coming off a loss to Jimi Manuwa, Jimmo will be one loss away from being released if Bosse defeats him at UFC Fight Night 41. Like most UFC newcomers, Bosse will also likely need to win one of his first two UFC bouts in order to stick around with the organization.
So, if the UFC decides to place Cummins in a loser-leaves-town match, he could meet the loser in the bout between Jimmo and Bosse.


text: Shotgun giveaway launched in Arizona By The Associated Press March 29, 2013 Story Share AP Photo Black Weapons Armory store owner Tommy Rompel (left) and former Tucson mayoral candidate Shaun McClusky talk about a shotgun Thursday. The weapon is similar to those to be given away as part of a privately funded program McClusky is launching to arm residents in crime-prone areas so they can defend themselves. TUCSON, Ariz. -- A campaign promising free shotguns for people in Tucson's most troubled neighborhoods has divided some residents in a community still reeling from a shooting rampage in 2011 that killed six people, left a congresswoman and several others wounded and made the city a symbol of gun violence in America.The nonprofit Armed Citizen Project is part of a national campaign to give shotguns to single women and homeowners in neighborhoods with high-crime rates. The effort comes amid the national debate on gun control after mass shootings in Arizona, Colorado and Connecticut.Towns in Idaho, Utah, Virginia and Pennsylvania have debated ordinances recommending gun ownership, but the shotgun giveaway effort appears to be the first of its kind."If you are not willing to protect the citizens of Tucson, someone is going to do it, why not me? Why not have armed citizens protecting themselves," said Shaun McClusky, a real estate agent who plans to start handing out shotguns by May.Arizona gun proponents have donated about $12,500 to fund the shotgun giveaway and McClusky, a former mayoral and City Council candidate, hopes to collect enough to eventually arm entire neighborhoods.Participants will receive training on how to properly use, handle and store their weapon, as well as trigger locks. It costs about $400 per participant for the weapon and training.Tucson police officials declined to discuss the shotgun program or any public-safety concerns, but statistics published by the department show violent crime was at a 13-year low in 2010, with 3,332 incidents. That compares to 5,116 violent crimes -- including homicides, sexual assaults and robberies -- in 1997. Tucson averages about 50 homicides a year."Just like any other city in Arizona and in the nation, we have our issues, but it is not crime-ridden," said Vice Mayor Regina Romero. "I would never say you have to carry a gun or you have to be afraid for your life."Research has produced inconclusive results on whether defensive gun use lowers crime or not. Some research suggests guns result in more suicides and accidental deaths, while other studies have shown that criminals are wary of gun owners. "People don't want to confront an armed person at home," said Garen J. Wintemute, director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis. "But, separately, there is solid evidence that in communities with higher rates of gun ownership, burglary rates are up, not down, and that's because guns are hot loot."Wintemute said it's likely the risk of violence in the homes participating in the gun giveaway will go up.Those behind the program, however, argue that shotguns are affordable, easy to use and don't require precise aim when shooting, making them the perfect home-protection weapon. The goal is to arm hundreds of people in Tucson, Houston, New York, Chicago, Detroit and at least 10 other cities by the end of the year."It is our hypothesis that criminals have no desire to die in your hallway; we want to use that fear," said Kyle Coplen, 29, the project's founder and a University of Houston graduate student. Tucson became a symbol of American's gun violence in 2011 when a mentally ill man opened fire at a political meet-and-greet hosted by then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., outside a Tucson-area supermarket. Giffords, who is still recovering from her wounds, has in recent months become a champion of universal background checks and other gun restrictions denounced by Second Amendment proponents.Moved by Giffords' advocacy, the Tucson City Council recently approved a measure requiring background checks at gun shows held on city property. City officials said the shotgun giveaway program appears to be legal, so they can't shut it down. One of the neighborhoods targeted by the program is Pueblo Gardens, an ethnically diverse, blue-collar neighborhood in southern Tucson where residents say occasional shootings, drug busts and car thefts are not uncommon.The no-frills landscape is dotted with pickup trucks, palm trees, barred windows, cacti, chain-link fences and toy-littered lawns. Many residents own guns, if only because of the handful of sex offenders who call the area home. More than 90 percent of the humble, single-story homes are occupied by renters.Pueblo Gardens could benefit from a public-safety campaign, but some residents say they are appalled that anyone would think the answer is more guns."We could take that $400 per shotgun and give it to these people so they could go buy groceries, pay rent, pay their utility bills, something useful," said neighborhood association president Cindy Ayala. "Vigilantism is not the answer."McClusky argues that, like signs posted in yards advertising alarm systems, signs that warn the homeowners have guns would get the message across."I'd like to prevent them from becoming a victim," he said. At least 13 single women in Houston have already benefited from the program.Tiffany Braggs, 44, said she had never owned or fired a gun before she signed up for The Armed Citizen Project in Houston after her condominium management board warned residents of growing crime."I feel a little bit more secure knowing that I can defend my home and my children," said Braggs, who now plans to buy a handgun to keep in her purse.Alan M. Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation in Bellevue, Wash., said he expects to see more gun giveaways as President Obama and other Democrats call for gun restrictions."All this is happening because it's a pushback," Gottlieb said. "If others weren't screaming for more control, you wouldn't see all the sales for guns and ammunition."For more information about the national gun giveaway program, visit http://www.armedcitizenproject.org.

Japan and Indonesia agreed on a wide-ranging ¥3.4 trillion plan Tuesday to develop an urban railway, thermal power plants and other infrastructure in Jakarta by 2020, in a bid to lure investments into the capital.
Tokyo hopes the project will offer firms a chance to expand their investments in Indonesia, where infrastructure development is urgently needed due to rapid economic growth.
The government also wants the project to serve as a model of the so-called "package infrastructure export" projects pursued by Japanese businesses.
Officials including Foreign Minister Koichiro Genba, industry minister Yukio Edano and Hatta Rajasa, Indonesia's coordinating minister in charge of economic affairs, approved the plan at a meeting in Tokyo.
The plan identifies 45 priority projects to be completed by 2020. Construction is expected to start by the end of 2013 on 18 of the projects, including a new corridor in Jakarta's mass rapid transit system and a new seaport outside the capital.
The early phase projects also include a railway connecting Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and the capital.
Japan and Indonesia agreed to the infrastructure development plan in December 2010.

If I add a tweet with a url in (any url) then they are not returned in a search. If I add a tweet without a url then these are returned fine. Can anyone shed any light on this?
This FAQ question covers your scenario:
Well the tweets are new so it's not a recency issue. Also, I can search other accounts and get tweets with urls in fine. Can you be more specific about why my tweets with urls are not showing up?
Not all tweets are indexed; in this case your tweets with URLs are not being indexed. Consider reaching out to @support if you believe that they should be. Thanks!
I have the same problem, normal tweet OK same tweet with a link to my blog doesn't get published, so what to do ?
What I've noticed is that it depends on the link and how many followers you have.When I tweet or retweet a tweet that includes a link from a blog my tweet won't show up on twitter search at all. If the same link is tweeted or retweeted by someone with dozens of followers it shows up on search. If I tweeted a link from a large or important website , even having a few followers or no followers the tweet shows up on search. It's a little bias from twitter towards important websites and discriminatory towards smaller websites. Not all links are spam just because it's not the New York Times or whatnot
I still have this same problem, none of my tweets are shown, indexed when add a link, and this what ever the link, so how do I get the problem solved ?
I have the same problem too...
I have exactly the same problem, and I came in here just to report it. You can see in my profile my tweets:
You can see the tweets containing a URL does not appear in the json.
I now have exactly the same problem. I live and work in Italy. New website was launched 7 months ago - Twitter only just activated and started trying to use it yesterday to post tweets. Tried several simple hashtag tweets - all came up in subsequent search.
Then tried various test tweets with url.1. Twitter automatic shortener did not appear - forced to use bitly.2. Tweets with various website url's from our site not indexed.3. BUT - urls from UK based sites fully indexed.(these were just used for testing)4. Some US .com url's worked and were indexed. since all deleted.5.This morning no url tweets indexed at all.6. Is there a problem that we have a website in Italy that is 'set up' in English?7. Have tried changing all settings to reflect Italy etc etc but still not working.
Anyone any suggestions? Any previous posters now had any joy?
Without url's in some tweets - our Twitter account is useless.
Have now deleted all tweets until matter resolved.
I'm telling you, unless you have loads of followers or you link to an important website, your tweet with an url won't show up on twitter. It doesn't matter where you are. Twitter ignores users with small number of followers linking to smaller websites but it does't ignore them when they link to important websites
Do you think that maybe some URLs are banned despite who tweet it?
It's not that some urls are banned because the same link I might be tweeting can be tweeted by another user with more followers and it will show up on search, whereas if it is me or someone else with not that many followers then that tweet won't show up on twitter search
Penelope - thanks for being so candid with the info. Tried it - did tweet with url of BBC football premier league - with hashtag of 'italy' to use as search ref - result = immediate posting. Deleted it and did another - hastag 'italy' and url of our website - result = nothing. How right you were!
How many followers do you think that you need before you can join the club?Is there a magic secret 'important' website list we wonder?
Incidentally, my wife has a very popular cartoon humour blog - position 1 on Google - had it now for over 2 years. From the outset she was able to include the blog's url in her tweets - never a problem. She certainly has no problem now - over 4000 tweets and nearly 2000 followers.
Google has obviously 'moved the goalposts' at sometime in the intervening period.At least my hashtags work!!!
@stella_mac Penelope - Thank you!
So basically, Twitter's NEVER EVER EVER gonna help out the smaller user.
Makes me wonder wtf's the point of using it then (only a recent convert, and this issue's been bugging me since I started) when we can't get our voice heard.
same problem with new account
I have the same problem. My hashtags work but not when I include a URL link to my Pinterest account. In fact, the URL I enter seems to be printed in full and not converted to the Twitter short-form link on tweeting.
No solutions are available as far as I can see.
the same issue here. New account + few followers = the tweet will not show up in search. Link for a conference using a #hashtag... it does not work. But!!! I think we have a solution! Google +
