General guidelines for getting started...
Before starting any genealogical research project, it is important to develop a system of keeping track of your information. You may find it easiest to use a notebook and your own method of note keeping. However, there are several varieties of popular charts available in many genealogical books, at libraries, or online.
Family Group Sheets: charts starting with a set of parents then giving room to list their children and the information about them.
Pedigree Charts: record the ancestry of a particular person, this chart has spaces branching out to record the names of parents, grandparents, etc.
Individual Sheets: a separate page to record facts about a single family member. These have more room to go into detail on personal history, such as occupations, organizations, religious activities, etc.
There are also many good computer software programs which help to gather and sort the information you find.
Whatever method you choose to keep records, keep in mind that it is important to have the information organized and accessible.
Remember to save a space in which to keep track of your sources. It is very important to be able to return to the materials you have used if needed again. It also wastes your time if you check a source that you have already checked so record sources that you do not find information in as well.
Start With What you Know
The best way to begin any genealogical research project is to start with the information you already know. Living family members are often the best source for gathering stories, dates, events, etc. Some people choose to conduct interviews of family members as many people love to share stories and memories once you show you are interested in hearing them. At the same time, you will become more familiar with the names and locations you will be researching.
Starting at a library is often a good way to get familiar with secondary sources and indexes. However indexes can be fraught with mistakes. Become familiar with variations in spelling of surnames as well!
Keep in mind that it is always a good idea to get copies from original sources whenever possible. Even if you know the exact event dates and locations, spend the time obtaining copies of vital records, obituaries, birth announcements, etc. Future generations will appreciate the accuracy and credibility of your records.
Once you are organized and have a good starting point you'll be ready to begin digging deeper for new information. Stick to a plan when doing research. It is best to trace one branch of your family at a time, as it is easy to get names and locations confused. When possible, make photocopies of the information you find and record where items were found. Keep track of the locations and materials used as you go along.
Don't get discouraged. Genealogical research is usually not easy. Many people spend years tracing a single branch of their family-tree.
Some common research materials:
Birth Records, Marriage, Divorce and Death Records:
Local courthouses house the vital records for specific areas. Although some may charge a fee, copies of the actual records are often obtainable. If planning a trip to a courthouse, it is advisable to call ahead to inquire about their policies and procedures.
Census Records:
United States censuses have been taken every ten years since 1790. Depending on the year, various kinds of information can be found in these records (also known as population schedules), such as: names of family members, occupations, nationality, etc. New census records are released every 72 years to protect the privacy of American citizens. (The 1930 census was released in April 2002. La Crosse Public Library has the 1930 census for Wisconsin. The 1940 census will not be released by the National Archives until 2012). Several states, including Wisconsin, have also taken their own censuses throughout the years, usually in the five year increments between the federal census, up until 1905 or so.
Church Records:
Often, churches keep very accurate information about their members. Family names can be found in lists of membership, marriages, baptisms, etc. Since early churches were often nationality/ language specific, it is sometimes easy to determine to what congregation a relative might have belonged.
Naturalization Records:
When becoming a citizen, most immigrants filed a series of papers to live in the United States. These papers can give information such as a person's place and date of birth, arrival date, residence, personal description, ship traveled on, and occupation.
City Directories and Telephone Books:
Area directories are often a good source if information. Although the information contained in them may vary from year to year and place to place, directories are useful in tracing your relative's living location or occupation.
City atlases, Sanborn maps, plat maps, etc. give specific information about land ownership, shape and size of property.
Land Records:
Deeds are formal documents showing ownership and intent for property use. Local courthouses usually house deeds and indexes to them.
Various community organizations often keep records over the years. Meeting minutes, membership lists, addresses, and group photos are often saved throughout the years and can give interesting insight to the lives of one's relatives.
Local periodicals can supply a wealth of information. Many papers are available on microfilm. People often find links to other members of their family through obituaries or marriage announcements. In some locations, newspapers have been indexed making it easier to locate specific articles and people.
There are many other possible sources.
As with most public libraries and state historical societies, the La Crosse Public Library Archives Genealogy page includes a summary of materials available locally.
Internet Research
The Internet is a rapidly growing source for finding genealogical information. It is extremely important to keep in mind that you should never accept what you find online to be absolute fact. Due to mis-spellings, missing or misinterpreted data, etc., one should always verify everything found with several primary sources, such as digitized images of the original documents or by sending for actual copies of the documents.
Keep in mind that some sites have very little "online" information while others will have more. Some sites promise a lot yet charge a fee for any quality information. Only a few actual records (censuses, ship-lists, etc.) are available online, however more information is being added all the time.
Because it is especially easy online to wander from link to link and end up lost in unrelated websites, stick to a plan.
If you are interested in more in-depth beginner's guides, many of the popular genealogy sites include free, online tutorials. Some good places to start include:
• RootsWeb's guide to tracing family trees:
• National Genealogical Society - Getting Started Tutorials
There are also several good sites built specifically for younger researchers:
• Cyndi's List - Kids and Teens
• WorldGenWeb for Kids

In his last speech before retiring as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor and handing over the reins to Raghuram Rajan, D Subbarao highlights fact that the Indian rupee is not freefalling and the economy is not sinking because of him. In fact, he turns on the Manmohan Singh-led government and roundly slams it for its policies.
Editorial: Evaluating Subbarao
Subbarao was sharply critical of the government, blaming its "loose fiscal stance" for the current economic woes, and warned that the root cause of Indian rupee depreciation is "domestic structural factors."
While the speed and timing of the Indian rupee's depreciation was due to the markets reacting to US Fed announcements, Subbarao said, "We will go astray, both in the diagnosis and remedy, if we do not acknowledge that the root cause of the problem is domestic structural factors."
India�s external vulnerability higher than it was a year ago, says Subbarao
He said it would be "misleading" to blame recent policy pronouncements of the US Federal Reserve for the decline in Indian rupee, which has slid 23 per cent against US dollar this fiscal.
"... there has been a growing tendency to attribute all of this (ferocity of Indian rupee depreciation) to the 'tapering' of ultra easy monetary policy by the US Fed. Such a diagnosis, I believe, is misleading," he said in his last public lecture as RBI Governor.
While some of the growth slowdown was attributable to the RBI's monetary tightening, he said, "India's economic activity slowed owing to a host of supply-side constraints and governance issues, clearly beyond the purview of the RBI."
Blaming the "loose fiscal stance of government during 2009-12" for slow growth and high inflation, he said, "Had the fiscal consolidation been faster, it is possible that monetary policy calibration could have been less tight."
The governor has often been criticised from within the government for his tight money policy at the cost of growth.
The root cause behind the Indian rupee's decline, he said, is a current account deficit (CAD) that's running well above the sustainable level for

It just blows my mind at the depth of the stupidity of Americans. The more the left talks and the radicals talk on this site the more you narrow it down to one fact! They hate rich WHITE people and anyone that is white and has a dollar more than them... They consider rich! What's even more amazing is that the worst president that ever lived always pulls that " WE STOPPED AL QUEDA" card out and waves it! But- this had nothing to do with embassy attacks? Then Joe Biden at the DNC yells GM is alive and OSAMA BIN LADEN is dead- this was on Sept. 5th! After all that they want to claim a You Tube Video did all that? If you beleive that then you are without a doubt qualified to vote for Obama! Hilliary Clinton knows this is all a lie and she also knows her political career is shot to shit! This terror attack is the ultimate conspiracy! You won't find this info on MSNBC! Obama has made a mockery of this political system! Only a fool would follow him!
I live mitt but he did blow the election like a gay libtard blowing his boyfriend .He is great at creating jobs by firing people but my man mitt should keep quiet on ther matters .Ofcourse he only cares about rich white people after all he is mormon.This country was created by white men not nigs spics or fags! !

The Artcurial sale at Paris' Retromobile event last month wasn't the only major auction...
Pagani Huayra documentary video released on YouTube
We know that the first deliveries of the Pagani Huayra will start in April. We know the company plans to produce 25 examples this year and about 40 in 2013. But with a new video released by Pagani, we finally know the whole story.
Pagani released a 15-minute video on its YouTube channel on March 10 called the "Pagani Huayra Story—A Documentary." The company talks with designers and developers and gives lots of details about the manufacture of the supercar. If you have a quarter-hour to kill, this is a good way to do it.
You might remember the Huayra's trip stateside hit a snafu when it was denied an airbag exemption by U.S. safety officials in August. The company said it wouldn't sell cars in the States until 2015 without the waiver.
The Pagani Huayra uses a twin-turbocharged Mercedes V12 engine that makes 700 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Upgraded models deliver 730 hp and 811 lb-ft of twist for a 0-to-62-mph time of 3.3 seconds. The price of the Huayra is expected to be about $1.37 million.

< Return To Hearing
September 26, 2006 This is the Judiciary Committee's third markup in the last eight days. I cooperated with the markup last Tuesday as the Chairman's scheduled a Special Executive Business Meeting. I came to the meeting and established the quorum. The Chairman had said that the meeting would be held to burn holds on two non-controversial circuit court nominees. I agreed to try to expedite consideration of the nomination of Kent Jordan, a nominee to the Third Circuit. Peter Keisler's nomination to the DC Circuit is, however, by no means non-controversial. Nonetheless, in an effort to work with the Chairman I stayed and discussed the Republican hold on that nomination. Then, although we had not discussed either in advance, in order to be accommodating, I went further and did not object when, at the request of Senator Grassley and Senator DeWine, they held over the nominations of John Alfred Jarvey and Sara Elizabeth Lioi. Those nominations might have been able to have been cleared last Thursday, had they not been held over, but are now, in accordance with the rules of the Committee, available for consideration. The Democratic Senators on this Committee and our staffs have worked hard to be accommodating on judicial nominations. The Chairman has held each week this month at a breakneck pace, one that I think is simply too fast for lifetime appointments. I want to thank and commend the Democratic Senators for working with us to make progress on nominations on such an expedited basis. This year, the Senate has so far confirmed 31 judicial nominees. The Republican Senate confirmed only 17 of President Clinton's judicial nominees in the 1996 session. We have almost doubled that number. We have reported out 37 judicial nominations. We have held 18 judicial nominations hearings this year, including a Supreme Court hearing, and executive nominees have been included in four years, including two hearings devoted entirely to executive branch nominations and bringing the total nominations hearing for the year to 20. We have confirmed seven circuit court nominees, which is seven more than the Republican Senate confirmed with a Democratic President in 1996. That year Republicans would not consider or confirm a single appellate court nomination, not one. It is already as many circuit court nominees as were confirmed in 1997 and 1999. This is a far cry from the days when the Republican Congress pocket filibustered more than 60 of President Clinton's nominees, refusing even to bring them up for a vote in Committee. Of course, during the 17 months that I was Chairman, we were able to confirm 100 of President Bush's nominees. In 20 months of Republican control, with a Republican President, that number now stands at about half that-- just 53. Of course, we could have moved much faster this year if the White House had sent over consensus nominees early in the year. The White House did not. Many of the nominees we are now trying to consider were not even nominated until July. Regrettably the Administration concentrated on a few highly controversial nominees and delayed until recently sending nominees thereby preventing us from having the time to do any meaningful review. Even in September, the White House has undermined this process. Instead of focusing on consensus nominees, the President sent back to us five highly controversial nominees who had been returned to the White House in the hope that the President would take the opportunity to move on to consensus choices and to doing the work of the American people. Sadly, this Senate appears to be abetting those bad decisions and may force us to spend our time and energy debating troublesome nominations, rather than reviewing and confirming good ones. We are now in the position of trying to rush through too many nominees too quickly for us to give them real consideration. There are 11 judicial nominees listed on today's agenda at various stages of consideration. We have been accommodating, and we will continue to be, but this Committee should not be a rubber stamp for the President's nominations. We should be taking our constitutional responsibility to advise and consent seriously. That means carefully reviewing the nominees' records and making sure that these are appropriate nominees for lifetime appointments to important federal judgeships. I hope that we have time in the few days remaining in this legislative session to consider as many as reasonably possible of these nominations. A customary practice in the Senate would have been for the leaders, the Republican and Democratic leaders, to have sat down with the Chairman and the Ranking Member by now and have worked out a process to conclude the year. I would have urged that we concentrate on completing our work on those nominations most likely to be confirmed and to maximize the number of confirmations. Sadly, that meeting has not occurred and apparently will not. I do want to acknowledge the kinds words of the Majority leader who noted just last night that we have made "tremendous progress on confirming qualified judicial nominees." By Senator Frist's count, the Senate "has confirmed 88 percent of President Bush's judicial nominees, giving him the highest confirmation rate since President Reagan." He calculates that "95 percent of all judgeships are filled, including more than 92 percent of all circuit court judgeships and more than 95 percent of all district court judgeships." HE notes that the Senate has confirmed "[n]early 160 nominees" for judgeships. The only thing he leaves out is that fully 100 were confirmed during the 17 months that I chaired this Committee and Senator Daschle was the Senate's leader. These observations, along with the Chairman's acknowledgement at our last meeting that we have been extremely accommodating, reflect the facts. They put the lie to the vitriolic attack on me personally being made this week by the Republican National Committee. I have been noting for some weeks now my worry that, like so much of the Nation's pressing business over the last two years, even noncontroversial nominations can be delayed or derailed by the misguided priorities of the Bush-Cheney Administration and the Republican leadership. With so little time remaining in this Congress, I would have hoped that the Administration and the Republican leadership would be anxious to make up for lost time by trying, at last, to address the many urgent and unresolved needs of Americans. Instead, I fear that today we will spend hours of Committee time on divisive nominations that have stalled in the past. Regrettably, rather than learn lessons from these failures, it appears that the President and his allies in the Senate are intent on staying the course. This Administration seems intent on heeding the marching orders of the narrow, special interest groups on the right and picking fights. While I have urged the Senate Republican leadership to join with us in the waning days of this Congress to do the work of the American people, it appears this week we will take the Administration's bait and waste valuable time. I have spoken about these problematic nominations before and will do so again if need be. I do not think they are fit for lifetime appointments to the nation's federal courts. I would rather use Committee time to consider legislation of importance to the American people and to review and confirm consensus nominees, but I will also try to ensure that the Senate exercises its constitutional responsibilities, rather than acting as a rubber stamp. Yesterday I joined the Chairman at an expedited hearing on the habeas stripping provisions of the military commissions legislation proposed by the Armed Services Committee and by the President. The Chairman and I want to improve the Armed Services Committee bill by fixing the habeas corpus provisions. I would have hoped that we would be considering the best way to bring our Committee's expertise to bear on that important matter. I still hope that we can. |

A Rose by Any Other Name--Is It Still the Same?
This article is the first in a series of on-site reports from GeoFORUM. I am not in a hurry to write these comments, as I feel the changes going on at this event need some thoughtful evaluation, not the typical knee-jerk reaction I normally might give (along with many others in the Linux community). Changes are generally good; they illustrate an action generated by an environmental pressure. Right now, the Linux community as a whole faces the onslaught of a series of environmental pressures. We can learn from the process Caldera is going through currently.
GeoFORUM, for those in the know, is attended by developers and sales engineers of small companies that represent the Caldera product line. It is an annual tech conference that grew out of the old Xenix and SCO UNIX development communities. As you might expect, the crowd here is a bit older than the one at your typical tech conference. This all goes back to some of my roots, as I did a fair amount of work in Xenix and OS-9 back in my Tandy days of the mid 80s. I was excited about going to this conference--for a change, I would not be one of the oldest guys at the conference.
This older crowd also is representative of a group of businesses that, in many cases, have been involved with this development community since the mid 1980s. Based upon an informal, anecdotal poll I took while walking around the hall, the average company attending the conference had been in business for eight or more years. Compare that with the average lifespan of a company attending a run-of-the-mill Linux event. In terms of understanding what is going on at the conference this year, this average age is an important fact to keep in mind.
I was a few minutes late to the opening keynote (breakfast was very good), so I did not make it to the special reserved press section at the front of the hall. Instead I sat with the crowd, and I am glad I did. I sat next to a guy named David Drew from a company called Net Plus Plus. This was his 16th consecutive year of attending the event; sixteen years of reasonably successful business results that have motivated him to continue to support the SCO group of products, now owned by Caldera.
Here is good reason for David to have that basic motivation. For the last 16 years he has had a group of products that were very well known for their stability and for being reasonably priced. He has made a good living as a participant in this community. So, the opening few minutes of the three-day conference were met with glee by David and the majority of the resellers/developers in that room. Their joy was readily apparent at the sudden announcement that Caldera had changed their name to The SCO Group.
When I first arrived at the conference on Sunday night for registration, I sort of felt something was up. There were rumors of a major announcement; rumors of a name change had been floated ever since the SCO purchase. However, I always envisioned a new umbrella name to cover both Caldera and SCO product groups. When I walked up to the registration table and saw the GeoFORUM logo but no company name printed on the signs, I sensed a change was imminent.
Monday, during his opening comments, new Caldera CEO and President Darl McBride announced the name change of the company from Caldera to The SCO Group in dramatic fashion. Using a high-tech multimedia show, the Caldera image was shattered into shards by the new SCO Group logo, which is pretty much the same as the old SCO logo.
So why did Caldera morph into The SCO Group? It's business folks, just business. Let's look at the facts, and let's start with the channel-oriented ones.
Caldera obtained their reseller channel by purchasing SCO. The size of that reseller channel is somewhere between 12,000 and 16,000, depending on how you quantify the reseller. These 14,000 (let's split the difference) resellers of Caldera/SCO products around the world were still selling SCO UNIX products in preference to Caldera Linux products. Why? Simple: they made more money and it was easier. Their existing client base had some two million SCO servers installed, and they were happy. Over the last year or so, Caldera has tried to kill the SCO product line and get the channel to sell Linux. But the channel was built upon a momentum of SCO UNIX and would not stop. Bottom line, the change was driven by the pressure created by the channel itself.
I originally thought it was a great move on Caldera's part to purchase SCO and create a new revenue branch. But the attempt to transition the SCO channel into a Linux channel was pushed too quickly. It should have been driven by customer demand, not marketing.
Now for the the simple financial facts. Say your company has no debt to speak of. You have a distribution channel of 14,000 SCO dealers. These dealers are on target to sell $60 million (US) for the year 2002. SCO products generate positive cash flow, while Linux products cost $2.00 of marketing for every $1.00 of sales. Maybe these facts are enough collectively to make you rethink your business plan.
I am as die-hard a Linux supporter as anyone on the planet. But, I see complete business sense in this move to change the name to The SCO Group. It is not rocket science, folks; it's marketing 101. The simpler the message, the easier it will be understood by potential clients, and multiple product brands are harder to market than a single brand.
Does the name change mean that Caldera, I mean The SCO Group, is no longer a Linux company? That remains to be seen. And I'm not so sure it matters in the short term. Their customers and their channel wanted SCO, not Linux. Sorry, but those are the facts.
Is the Caldera name really dead? Probably not. I have a quote from a SCO Group executive, who asked to remain anonymous, that "if and when we do launch a new Linux desktop, it very well may have the Caldera name on it."
Tonight's episode of The Linux Show will feature Opinder Bawa, the new senior VP of technology from Caldera/The SCO Group, to discuss the announcement.
Jeff Gerhardt is the host of The Linux Show.
Re: A Rose by Any Other Name--Is It Still the Same?
So, SCO is back? But what's changed since the name dissolved into Caldera? Rapidly expanding markets for proprietary UNIX? Hardly. And are the issues that beset SCO any less severe now than they were? Not likely.
SCO may have a profitable niche, but this rebranding and posturing hardly marks the glorious return of Big UNIX.

Re: A Rose by Any Other Name--Is It Still the Same?
Thank you, kind sir, for presenting this information in an even, unbiased fashion. I can only hope others in the Linux community read this and think for a minute before reacting negatively. The name change really was the right thing to do...
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Grading the Bears' 40-32 failure in Detroit is an iffy proposition. To hear the coaches and players tell it, there was much to feel good about in the second half.
I'm afraid I didn't see it.
True, the Bears "won" the second half, 19-10, and outgained the Lions, 250-127. And they didn't quit.
The problem with that interpretation is the Lions won the first half, 30-13, when both clubs were playing on the same terms to win the game.
Had the Lions not played the entire second half in prevent mode, gladly trading yardage and occasional points for time off the clock, the glass half-full scenario might be more viable.
But the truth is, when both clubs were playing by the same rules, this was ugly.
Jay Cutler gets a C-. His 317 yards passing and two touchdowns count for something and, toward the end, when the Bears were playing because the rules required them to stay on the field for 60 minutes, he was still making the occasional throw most quarterbacks can't.
But his three interceptions and lost fumble for a Lions touchdown were the main reason the Bears got beat.
Matt Forte gets a B+. I can't grade the running backs, because Forte, for the most part, is the only one who played. He was in on 71 of the Bears 72 offensive snaps. Tony Fiammetta was on the field for 10 plays, strictly as a blocker and Michael Bush was on the field for just two plays, one of which was Forte's 53-yard touchdown run. As a group, they get an incomplete.
The wide receivers get a B-. Alshon Jeffery had a nice game, catching five passes for 107 yards and a touchdown and racing 27 yards on an end around. Brandon Marshall's seven catches for 79 yards is a nice day for most pass catchers, although a bit less than we expect from him.
But those two and Earl Bennett - the only three wideouts to play - were targeted 29 times and caught just 14 of them. Much of that's on Cutler but some has to be on his receivers.
The offensive line gets a C-. Cutler was under more pressure than he has been at any time this season and was sacked as often in this game - three times - as he had been in the first three games combined.
But when you're down 20 points in the first half and throw the ball 47 times, some of that is going to happen.
On the defensive line, give Julius Peppers an A - and everyone else a D. Peppers showed up and, with any help at all, the game might have gone differently. But he got no help from his linemates and the Bears are at the point this really must be addressed.
The linebackers get a C and even that's tough because the defense spent so much time in nickel, it's hard to grade them at all. But with Reggie Bush rushing for over 100 yards in the first half for the first time in his career, everyone must share the blame.
The secondary gets a C as well. They/Charles Tillman did their usual commendable job on Calvin Johnson but had Matt Stafford not been almost as off as Cutler in the first half, this game actually could have been much worse.
Special teams get a D+. It's unclear what the plan was in the punting game, but Adam Podlesh was awful with a net 28.8 on five punts. Devin Hester was average in the return game and the coverage was average to terrible on the 57-yard punt return it allowed Micheal Spurlock.
This was a game the Bears would like to forget. But if they don't remember it well and make significant corrections immediately, New Orleans could make it start to look like a dangerous trend.

ODF, OC, Drunk, Robert, Devildog, Draak and all of the other "old timers" from years past: I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS! Hope you are all well (I'm wondering about Draak?). This is kind of surreal, but I had given up on this board because there was no link on the AZ Republic site. Last night, for no particular reason, I was wondering what happened to the old site an, more importantly, you guys that post. Today while reading an article about Saturday's game I stumbled across this site. Feels like home. And, no, I haven't posted anywhere else for quite some time. I did post on "Devilsdigest" a couple of months ago, but not since the week of the UNLV game. Anyway, I'm very surprised at how the season is going for you. I fully expect DE to get things headed in the right direction. How is this year's (next year's) recruiting class shaping up? Who will be your QB next season? Is Elway's son going to compete for a starting job or is he going to need some more grooming? I know that AZ is producing more and more quality HS players that you need to keep at home. Shoot, it is amazing the # of college players making a big impact at some major programs that played their high school ball here in LV. UNLV hasn't done a good job of keeping these players at home. If they had, they would be competing for the MWC title every year. BTW - isn't it frustrating how the MWC has dominated the Pac this season. Something like 6-1 or 7-1. And that 59-0 BYU win over UCLA is ridiculous. All right - let me have it with both barrels as I'm sure you guys have some old issues to jump me on. Good luck the rest of the season and I look forward to "chatting" with my old friends again. Old Devil Fan: Are you still a barber down in Safford or thereabouts? I promise I'm going to make it down there for a first class haircut one of these days. Do you give a "half a head of hair" discount? LOL!
Trojan Fan in Las Vegas (TFLV)
Hey Bill how the heck are you? Boy you posted quite a long post there and never once mentioned how USC kicked ASU's Butts. Good for you.
Yes I'm still in Sierra Vista (not Safford) and still arguing with my son the UofA fan. I kinda feel sorry for him right now since Lute Olson lost his mind, but Oh well.
I have given up on ASU for this season. Not sure what the problem is but I have a ton of respect for Dennis Ericksons ability to get it turned around next year.
In the meantime I am thrilled with our Basketball situation. I think Herby is doing a GREAT job and we will definitly be in contintion for the big tournament this year.
Great to hear from you TFLV. Now all we need is 68 and a couple of the other (old timers).
TFLV, it looks like UNLV had a very good game against BYU. Do they have a chance to go 6-6? DD is right, the only major dissenters have been a couple of brainless name callers from south of the Gila River. I guess we still have some pro and con about Rudy but no one calling for the head of the coach on a trident.
I guess you saw the UNLV game which I thought the coach settled for keeping us in a holding pattern when we were up by 10 pts late in the game. Then, all of a sudden, that game is tied. Bad blocking and some bad kicking cost us what would normally be gimme pts. Maybe you can also say too many looking ahead to the GA game the next week. Whatever, that put us into the Black Hole spiral that we are now in and Saturday coming up does not look like the pull of gravity will get any weaker.
Welcome back TFLV.
GO DEVILS!!! Wherever you are.
Hey Guys - Thanks for the kind words. Believe it or not, ODF, it would give me no pleasure to come on here and rub it in regarding USC's win over ASU considering the kind of season you all are having. Now, if the Devils were 6-1 with a win over Georgia and their only loss was to the Trojans - well, that would be a different story. Regarding UNLV: I didn't see the game w/ASU. I did listen to parts of it on the radio. The Rebels do have a pretty potent offense this season with three very good receivers and a pretty good QB. The running back, Frank Summers, that ran pretty successfully against ASU hasn't been able to duplicate that effort against anybody else. And, as mentioned above or on another thread, the UNLV "D" is giving up yardage and points in huge doses. I'm not sure about a bowl game. They are in a similar situation to that of ASU in that they just about have to win out.
Regarding ASU: Yeah, that is a lot of freshmen to have on a roster. Should bode well for the future. For all of the carp I have given you guys over the years, you're still family (Pac-10) and it would be nice to have a couple of more teams in the top-10 every year competing for BCS games as well as the Rose Bowl. Although, we could very well have a "new" team in that game this season if Oregon St. wins out. (I know you all are hoping that doesn't happen - and so am I.)
TFLV, Welcome back and thanks for adding some relatively insightful commentary to this Board. Now all we need is Future to come back to bring the IQ level back down(Cat fans don't count) !
Agree that LV is producing some good HS players. Guy has looked good on our d-line as a true Fr.,and that RB for UofA looked impressive the last 2 games. I know Oklahoma has been getting some LV talent.
I was rooting for your Trojans in the Ohio St game. Buckeyes are my least favorite team now that Miami has cooled off.
Hopefully Devils will show up this week vs. Beavers. But I doubt we can stop their ground game. They play well in Corvallis, and looked good in their win over your Trojans.
Robert: Thanks for the "welcome." Yeah - "Future." Man, I had forgotten about that guy. What a character! No telling where he is or what he is up to. I know at one point he was talking about bulking up and trying to play some JC football. That was several years ago. And, yes, Oklahoma has done well recruiting here in LV. I believe their star RB (Demarco Murray?) is from here as well as several others. Even John Robinson when he was here didn't pay much attention to the local guys and it came back to bite him in the And, yes, Oregon St. looked like world beaters against USC. I just wish they had played that well against Penn St. Oh well.
I just got finished reading an article in the Republic that said of the recruiting classes from 2004,2005 and 2006 out of 64 players only 23 remain on the team. That means that 34 players have left the team for one reason or another. It went on to say that there are 12 seniors that dont even play on the team. I guess they just stand there and take up space. Dawm, no wonder we are having problems.
It also mentioned that after the Wade incident ( the murder of Faulkner), Dirk Koetter had a lot of trouble recruiting. I guess he did from the looks of it.
I have a lot of confidence in Dennis Ericksons ability, but man, this business of having to wait another year or two is starting to get old. (just like me).
TF, Frank the Tank ran very well against us. We had trouble bringing him down. I thought he was an outstanding runner but now I think it was more a problem of poor tackling. Anyone at the game last week will know what i mean. Ore players were just running through a lot of our tackles.
ODF, there is a lot of truth in that article. If we have so many FR starting now ahead of Sr's that says something about the recruiting a few yrs back.
ODF, also an interesting recruiting article by that clown Moredich about Rats. I get so tired of seeing this guy's propaganda in our paper(Beloved Repugnant) that I had to post a nasty comment in response. I'm sure it will annoy the Rat fans !

Homeless Patients: Considerations
By TheCommuter - Jacob, a 23-year-old, patiently lays on the bed in a semi-private room on the medical-surgical floor of an urban county-run hospital. The doctors, nurses and other staff have seen him many times previously because he is one of those frequent flyers who is admitted every couple of months or so. His form renders him notable: his sandy blond hair falls halfway down his back, a ruggedly handsome face brings forward a pert nose below a... Read More
What She Couldn't Tell You
By CountryMomma - We've all met this type of mom before. It's 2330, her 8 year old daughter is struggling to breathe, and you know for a fact you saw them two weeks ago for the same thing.

Perceptions Equal Results
By Emergent - The presenting complaint was abdominal pain/constipation. I rolled my eyes to myself as I wheeled down a distraught 89 year old woman to the exam room to be triaged, accompanied by her anxious husband. "You must help her, she needs to be cleaned out!" he cried. They had been to 'the other hospital' in town a few days earlier for the same, they thought it had been all taken care of, she had been taking the prescribed remedies. He showed... Read More
Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses
By JB85 - Sentiments run high regarding the Affordable care Act, but whether one supports the new law or believes it to be a case of government over-reach, the fact is that the ACA is now the law and as nurses we are obligated to make sure that patients and their families understand the basic workings of the law. Nurses are in a position of trust and as such we should be able to address patient's questions and concerns regardless of our... Read More
My Most Memorable Patient - Geraldine
By saramoss04 - Patients create a lasting memory for numerous reasons. There are the very critical patients who may not have a positive outcome but you know you learned some valuable lessons from; there are the funny patients who always make you laugh either appropriately or inappropriately; there are the really gross patients whom you can only talk about with fellow co-workers (because normal people would not be able to handle it); and there are the...

The Reason I Became a Nurse
By hrivera - Nursing is and has always been a calling for me. As a young child, I remember the very first time I stepped foot in a hospital. I was 5 years old; my parents were missionary preachers and often visited ill people and their families in the hospital for spiritual services. I was often left to wait in the lobby as a child, and at the time, was not allowed in acute care areas. But that didnt keep me from watching all the men and women... Read More

Hanging It Up
By VivaLasViejas - It seems almost unreal: in six days, I will don my scrubs, put my name badge on, and go to work at the nursing home like I have almost every weekend since last July.

Only this time, it will be for the last time. After many... Read More
Exit Strategies For Nurses Who Deal With Overly Talkative Patients
By TheCommuter - I am a nurse who deals with multiple patients during the course of each shift. Sometimes Ill get a patient who simply talks too much and wont let me leave the room.

"Ouch — That's Just Brutal"

"Ouch — That's Just Brutal"Barack Obama, George Washington, Matt DrudgeEd Driscoll filling in for vacationing-Glenn Reynolds admires a fine example of the artful juxtapositions of Matt Drudge. 10 Jan 2013
Matt Drudge Causes MSM To Have a CowGun Control, Matt Drudge, Media Bias, The Mainstream MediaGlenn Reynolds yesterday actually included a rare image capture in his posted link as a deliberate tribute to Matt Drudge's eloquent talent for juxtaposition. Leftie Establishment journalists, naturellement, reacted like irate monkeys on exhibit at the zoo, flinging epithets, ridicule, and abuse in Drudge's direction. 10 Mar 2010
Senate Warned Against Reading DrudgeDrudge Report, Dubious Information, Matt Drudge, Senate, The Internet, Viruses and WormsFox News detects a partisan slant in potential virus warnings pertaining to Drudge Report, one of the most active and infliential agggregators on the Internet, whose reporting commonly, but not always, features a conservative perspective. I look at Drudge Report daily and I've seen no evidence to suggest that there is any legitimate basis for such warnings at all. 06 Jan 2009
Was It Something She Said?Ann Coulter, Matt Drudge, Media Bias, NBC, Political Correctness, The Mainstream Media
Ann Coulter had been scheduled to appear this morning on NBC's Today program promoting her new book Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, but on Sunday the "progressive" blog-site Media Matters cracked the ideological whip and reminded NBC of its duty to provide no aid or assistance of any kind to opponents of the Revolution, especially those who go around saying such politically incorrect things. Matt Drudge reports that NBC has faithfully fallen into line, and has banned Coulter for life, at least.
————————————————————————————————UPDATE: Life is short, it seems. Michael Calderone is reporting that NBC has changed its mind again. 09 Jul 2008
Grow Up AlreadyJournalism, London Times, Matt Drudge, Misleading Headlines, Russia, Weapons SystemsThe London Times cannot resist the temptation of using the scary headline: Russia threatens military response to US missile defence deal. And Matt Drudge links their story and adds an alarming photo of a missile launch. (Oh no, Russia is already sending nukes our way!) Was Russia really threatening to launch ballistic missiles or order some of its Combined-Arms Armies westward in the direction of the Fulda Gap? No. Not really. What the actual story said was: Obviously, Russia was merely alluding darkly to its own capabilities of using technical methods to gain an ability to defeat defensive missiles. Russia is threatening a particular kind of arms race not a nuclear first strike or an invasion of Western Europe. National Enquirer-style misleading headlines may win Drudge and the London Times a few more readers today, but they certainly do not increase readers' respect for those particular sources. I'd say that they are only trading future readers for some extra ones today. 07 Jan 2008
Drudge Pulls Everybody's Chain… Again2008 Election, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Matt Drudge, The BlogosphereLarge portions of the Blogosphere have launched themselves late this morning into a lemming-like pursuit of a mischievous meme proposed by that rascal Matt Drudge: Hillary is losing in New Hampshire. How soon will she withdraw? Drudge is a scamp, isn't he? Rightwing News, in picking the 20 Most Annoying Liberals, puts Hillary's rival into a more accurate perspective, awarding him only number 20: 03 Apr 2007

Drudge published in italics atop his news blog the screaming headline: PAPER: BOTCHED U.S. RAID LED TO IRAN HOSTAGE CRISIS Take the hayseeds out of your hair, Matt. That commie swine Cockburn has simply recycled a very old story, dating back to January 12th (followup 1/13, followup 1/28, still more 1/29), repackaged it with a few new quotes, and given it a major leftist spin. Allahpundit debunks Cockburn's bolshevik drivel here, remarking in conclusion: Myself, I have a special award for Comrade Cockburn: Sure, the US raid on Irbil/Erbil/Arbil (however you spell it) was a significant Allied response to Iranian acts of war against coalition forces operating in Iraq, apparently apprehending some number of Iranian intelligence officers caught red-handed in Iraq engaged in organizing and supplying the insurgency. Doubtless every act of interference on the part of Coalition forces to Iranian activities in Iraq, or of hostility toward Iran's surrogates, could be construed as part of the pattern of increasing tension preceding the recent Iranian hostage-taking of British naval personnel. But events completed last January are not exactly today's news. Only limited information was ever officially released, making it impossible to know exactly who was apprehended, and even more impossible to evaluate that action's precise goals or success. So the Cockburn story consists in its entirety, as a philosophy professor of mine used to say, of statements which are "meaningless, trivial, or simply false." 03 Mar 2007
Why Did the Market Tank?Alan Greenspan, Economists, Matt Drudge, Stock Market, The Blogosphere, The InternetThis week the stock market experienced the largest decline in equity prices in four years. A Tuesday selloff dropped the Dow Jones Average 416 points, and a dismal week ended with the Dow losing 3.3 percent, the S&P 500 4.4 percent and the Nasdaq 5.9 percent. It even cost me money. AP So, what really caused this hideous and dramatic market downturn? US News' senior writer James Pethokoukis thinks he knows. The observant Mr Pethokoukis identifies the cause as none other than the Blogosphere's own Matt Drudge, who on Tuesday February 27th, just about the time the stock market's ship hit the rocks, posted the following headline: 01:28:35 Greenspan Warns of Likely Recession… * linking to an AP article featuring the same, basically misleading, headline. As Pethokoukis ruefully notes: Michael S. Malone, at ABC, read the Pethokoukis article, and agrees. He philosophizes about how we all read news these days, and how markedly the Internet is making the paleomedia obsolete, concluding on the subject of that rascal Drudge tanking the stock market for us: All I can say is: Do us a favor, Matt, please say something positive next week. 10 Oct 2006
David Zucker's Madeleine Albright Campaign Ad2006 Elections, David Zucker, Democrats, Entertaining Commercials, General Poltroonery, Humor, Madeleine Albright, Matt Drudge, Politics, RepublicansDavid Zucker, producer of Scary Movie 4, turned out this little bombshell for GOP use in the final days running up to the 2006 election. All those big brains who have brought Republican prospects to their current point of success thought Mr. Zucker's ad was "too extreme," "way over the top." So he just gave it to Matt Drudge. Feeds

- Victorian Restoration > Episode 3: Moving the Entrance and Kitchen Layout
Relocating the Front Door
Contractor Charlie Tomaszewski and crew are hard at work moving the front door of the main house to accommodate a new entranceway. In addition, Tomaszewski is using an air-driven palm nailer to finish up work on new support beams.
Bob meets homeowner Julie Graham, who is working with Faith Allen from Merillat to create the new kitchen layout. Across town, Bob tours the Isaac Royall House.

- Part 1: Relocating the Front Door
- Bob works with general contractor Charlie Tomaszewski to move the Medford home's original front door. This will allow them to frame a proper foyer to catch the drafts during cold weather.
Because the house has a balloon frame, they won't be able to get a king stud in the same way they did when the house was originally framed. The new header for the front door will be constructed from two 2 x 10s sandwiched on a regular piece of one-inch board. It will be supported by two king studs and will provide the full dimension of the studs that were there.
In removing the sheathing, they discover that the home's original cedar clapboards had been covered, first with cedar shingles, later with man-made shingles. Next, they install new jack studs to support the door header and cut the sheathing to create the new opening. Finally, they move the old door frame into its new location. - Part 2: Touring the Isaac Royall House in Medford, MA
- Part 3: Restructuring the First Floor and Kitchen Design
Located just five miles from downtown Boston, Bob's scouts discovered a Victorian-era house in a neighborhood of family homes on tree-lined streets that was past due for a full-scale renovation.
The home's new owners, a work-at-home family, have set goals to modernize the home's floor plan, update the building's mechanical and electrical systems, and add home office and work spaces for two busy professionals.

Also from Victorian Restoration
Episode 1 - Initial Tour
This ambitious restoration project involves renovating a Victorian home, as well as a former dairy barn also on the property. In its new configuration, the barn will include two offices and an art studio. After a brief tour of the city, Bob meets with the home's new owner, Rikk Larsen, and contractor Charlie Tomaszewski, to discuss the work ahead. -
Episode 4 - Electrical Systems and Wiring and Upstairs Framing
Bob gets an update on the progress taking place at the Victorian renovation project. Rough electrical work is underway, as is the home's data and video wiring, which will form the backbone for the advanced communications, security, and entertainment systems. Workers are framing a new addition, and are also at work on the second floor, where a Kohler tub and new Pella windows are being installed. -
Episode 5 - Roof Work and Lighting
The barn's roof system gets a makeover. First, LP sheathing forms the new roof deck, then Owens Corning shingles and Velux skylights are installed. Inside the barn, a space-saving high-velocity air-conditioning system from SpacePak is being retrofitted on both floors.

 At the main house, Charlie Tomaszewski and crew are making repairs to the decorative dentilation, as well as working on the shingles and a new gutter system. Inside, electrician Barry Driscoll is putting in new recessed light fixtures from Lightolier. -

COLUMBIA — Girls will soon flock the streets in raunchy princess attire, skimpy enough to mistake them for $10 street hookers ready to role-play. Notice I didn't say women. It's because I meant the Hannah Montana fanatic, Barbie-doll playing, Silly Bandz wearing girls, not the college women you might have imagined; these are elementary school youngsters trick-or-treating for Halloween.
