Bio and Links
As a teenager, I would sit with my grandmother as she helped me diagram the "Who's Who" of our regular but convoluted family reunions. As we worked, she would tell me stories of her parents and grandparents. Since then, I've been hooked! I'm a typical product of that melting pot known as Boston, MA; with Irish, Italian, Scots, French and German ancestry. When I get stuck on my own ancestry, I work on my husband's or anyone else I can help. I served for six years at our local LDS Family History Center as a worker, and as its director for another five. These days my great obsession is documenting all of our family members who have served in the military, and the list is up to 106, including 3 women, 5 nations and all branches of service. It's a heritage I want to pass on to my active-duty Air Force and Navy sons. Oh, and ask them how many of their childhood family vacations were spent traipsing through cemeteries! ;-)
**PLEASE NOTE** I'm happy to make edits and/or transfers, please use the edit button on the memorial, and if you would like a memorial transferred, please remember to include your findagrave number so I don't have to look it up. Thanks!

RE: Martha Sageman headstone photo
You are welcome, I had been there years ago with only a film camera so got very few photos then.
I went back in Sep 2013 and had to use Google Earth photos to even find the cemetery again, it is in such a secluded and peaceful place far off the main road. When I was walking around the cemetery taking photos of family graves, I realized it was deer hunting season when I heard gunshots whizzing by me. I got a few more photos and then went running for the car. It was important for me to revisit because my 2nd Great Grandfather and other family is there.

Possible best band bio ever: "Clearly, the Turbo Fruits are not athletes. They are, however, a rock 'n' roll band and one that could likely take your state rock 'n' roll champion to the mat in less time than it takes to cue up a record." They have that perfectly slouchy, shiny, unkempt look, and their sound (take single "Sweet Thang") is equally slouchy and punchy, garagey and underscored with bravado. Turbo Fruits' latest, Butter, was recorded in a mere eight days by Spoon's Jim Eno, and the band is circling the Eastern U.S. in support of that album. They play Broadway's on Thursday, Oct. 25.

It seems like every year around this time I make Mark Teixeira a prime breakout candidate. Why can't he hit in April? Does he need mittens? His last three Aprils have produced a .245 average and 9 homers in 261 ABs. No other month is close to that bad.

Hanley Ramirez said he wasn't lollygagging after the ball. I see his point. You can't chase after the ball. You kick the ball to the curb, neg it then hope the ball comes back to you. That's Pickup Artist Rules 101. Hanley was benched yesterday and now there's talk he may get traded. Fredi said, "We don't want the game played like that in front of our fans." Insert your "There are no Marlin fans" joke here. I don't think he's traded away. In fact, I think all this shizz blows over in a day or so. What are the Marlins going to do? Trade away their best player? As someone in the audience of Jerry Springer might say, "Pay first month on that puh-lease." Fredi Gonzalez will be out of job before Hanley gets traded. Hanley being Manny and the Marlins will learn to deal with it. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Cameron Maybin – Hit his 2nd homer of the year. That's so Maybin!

organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.

It became known as the "AIG effect."
The insurance conglomerate held an incentive program at a resort just days after receiving its first TARP payout. Media outlets got hold of the story, called the legitimate event an executive junket, and hundreds of corporate meetings subsequently paid the price for the misrepresentation.
"That recognition program was sponsored by the life insurance division. It had nothing to do with AIG Financial Products, which was the division built on credit default swaps," notes Chris Gaia, VP of marketing at Maritz Travel in Fenton, Mo. "The life insurance division was profitable. It was profitable because of the hard work of the independent salespeople who were being rewarded at that meeting."
But that's not the story AIG told when it found itself on the hot seat.
First, the company offered no comment. Soon after, AIG Chairman and CEO Edward Liddy announced that the company would cancel all upcoming events that were "not strictly justified by legitimate business needs." Apparently in that category were 160-plus meetings, with an $8 million total price tag, that AIG ended up canceling. The move only re-inforced the idea of spending on corporate meetings as wasteful.
"All organizations need to be able to tell the story of how their meetings, events, and incentives create value, beyond the cost, for their businesses," Gaia says. Here are his tips for doing that:
"Incentive programs have the highest profile," he notes. Calculating return on investment based on incremental sales increases is easily done. What's new is the question of what behavior is being rewarded. Forward-thinking companies, Gaia believes, will consider designing programs that reward long-term performance and risk management — not just sales volume or new business.
Do you know what gets attendees energized? Yes, you've surveyed them about past programs. But how about including attendee preferences in the program design phase? If you can discover what they find most motivating, Gaia says, you can maximize your program's impact and justify your planning choices. There are a number of predictive modeling tools available to help you do that.
Broaden your ROI measures to include customer satisfaction, investigating whether there is a difference in satisfaction with customers served by those who earn a reward and those who don't. Companies also should measure employee and customer loyalty and retention. As Gaia notes, "There is clearly value in retaining employees in terms of reduced cost for rehiring and retraining, and a reduction in customer attrition that can happen when a sales rep leaves the company."

Set Point and Motion Control
by Ken Melvin
When learning to drive, we discover how to vary the car's acceleration and rate to smoothly achieve our desired speed. Likewise, new drivers find out how to easily control the car's direction by varying the extent and rate of their steering actions. Learning how to operate boats and airplanes requires developing similar skills. For control applications such as these, there is at any timeat all timesa specific desired value of the controlled variable.
Set Point as a Variable
This time-specific desired value of the controlled variable (i.e., current set point) isn't separate from the control of that variable. It's as essential as the variable we're currently measuring. In fact, we compare the two in order to effect control. For such control applications a controller, whether it's a human or a computer, needs to know both the desired and the actual values of the variable at all times.
There are many process control applications where a "current" set point is desirable or even required. What follows is a focus specifically on motion control using this current set point concept.
Process Control Applications Involving Motion
For motion control applications, we may desire to control the speed of motion, the relative position, or both. Speed control applications tend to have a great deal in common with one another. Controlling a high-speed bottling line is much like controlling a light rail system; controlling an auto's speed is much like controlling room pressure with variable frequency drive-controlled fans. Often, several (or even many) speed-controlled units operate together to form a system. Commonly, we desire a system's units (e.g., trains in a rail transit system or cars on a freeway) to operate as an integral unit. Being able to change the final set point, its maximum rate of change, and the rate of change of its rate of change (acceleration) for the individual units allows for their integration into a system that itself operates as a unit. Even for the stand-alone unit (e.g., a stand-alone, electric motor-driven pump), there may be reason to control the unit's acceleration, its rate, or both en route to the final set point.
Similarly, for motion control applications involving positioning, it's often critical that something reaches a given position at a given time and at a desired rate. Moreover, sometimes there's a need to coordinate motion along two or more axes (e.g., the position of a robotic arm and another moving assembly). These types of applications, too, demand the ability to change speed per chosen values for acceleration and rate.
The Controller and Motion Control
The "Melvin" controller I've developed (hereinafter, simply the controller) has set point generation that provides for changing the final set point, its maximum rate of change, and its acceleration at any time. To illustrate, consider Figure 1, which shows a given current set point, Sc, its associated current rate, Rc, and its acceleration, A. Sc is plotted from some initial value to an intermediate desired value (say, Sf), where it remains for a time before returning to its initial value. In order to reach the desired final set point at the desired rate and acceleration, the controller continuously develops Rc and Sc by manipulating the acceleration as required (Figure 2).
When we use the controller to manage speed, the current set point, Sc, represents the desired current velocity, Vc, while the desired final set point, Sf, represents the desired final velocity, Vf. Sc approaches Sf at the current rate, Rc, which changes per the acceleration.
When we use the controller for motion control involving positioning, at a given time, Rc is the speed of motion desired, and Sc is the desired current position. Again, as with speed control, per the chosen values for acceleration and rate, Sc becomes the desired final position.
How does a process controller best go about regulating the controlled variable at or very near the set point at all times? At any given time, if Sc and its related variable are the same and are changing at the same rate, then the controller is providing the correct output. If the two aren't the same at a given time, or if they're changing at different rates, then the controller needs to adjust its output to bring the variable to and maintain it at set point.
A controller could conceivably know the values for the current variable and Sc at all times. A time base or clock is needed, however, for determining rates. Evaluating information, making calculations, and making changes takes time. Together, these time requirements imply a cycle of operation (i.e., one that's long enough to see the changes and perform the necessary calculations).
Each cycle, the controller determines the current error, ec, and change in error, ec, and converts each to an equivalent output value. The controller then adds the converted values to its previous output; thus, it provides the current output needed to control the variable at or very near Sc at all times. The system characteristic ratiothat of a change in controller output to a resultant change in the variableis used to convert the units of error into those of the output. For some applications (among them, speed control), the change in controller output may not be proximally synchronous to the resultant variable change. Consequently, the amount of error correction needs to be time proportioned according to this time lag between when a change is made in controller output and when the controller sees a resultant variable change (i.e., the system response time). The controller determines both these parameters during initial tuning.
Forclosed-loop positioning using a servo or variable-speed drive, an encoder's signal would probably represent the current position. We could also control drive speed by using the current rate as the set point for the speed of motion and comparing this rate with the actual rate of motion derived from the encoder signal (or furnished by a tachometer). However, a better way would be to control the motion's speed as a function of the relationship of the current position and Sc. The controller compares the current and desired (i.e., Sc) positions each cycle and determines both ec and ?ec. Those values are then converted to units of output and added to the previous output. Thus, the current position is controlled at or very near Sc at all times, and the speed of motion is the same or very nearly the same as the current rate at all times.
For open-loop stepping motor position control, the desired position at any time is a function of the total pulse count to the motor up to that time. The desired rate of motion at any time is a function of the pulse rate at that time. The actual position at any time might be determined by some form of encoder. A processor could use the signal from such an encoder to determine the actual rate of motion at a given time. When using the controller's set point generation for this type of position control, the desired position at any time is the pulse-count equivalent of Sc. Likewise, the desired rate of motion at any time is that resultant pulse rate equivalent to the current rate.
Usually, stepping motor control is locked train, so there may not be an encoder. If there's any reason to expect slippage, or if slippage presents an unacceptable hazard, such slippage could be detected using a position encoder, continuously comparing its output with Sc. To compensate for slippage, much as with speed control, the controller being used could adjust the pulse rate. Alternatively, we could compensate at the final desired position by comparing Sf with the encoder-determined position, thus deriving the pulse count and motor direction required to attain Sf.
Motion control applications are plentiful. We could, for example, accelerate a commuter train to the desired speed at a desired rate, vary speed as required while the train is en route, and then, as it nears a station, shift to position control and decelerate to a precise stopping point. The controller could also, using existing sensor technology, control an aircraft's speed, altitude, and direction at all times. Likewise, we could control a ground vehicle's speed, direction, and position relative to other vehicles. Elevators provide yet another vehicular example.
Unlike vehicular control, where we're controlling speed relative to a fixed surface, moving material efficiently about during the manufacturing process often demands speed control of a conveyance surface. The high-speed bottling or canning line is a good example. By controlling filler speed, the controller is able to manage the line speed, adjusting the rates of various line components (e.g., conveyors, labelers, uncasers, casers) as necessary for the line to operate as an integral unit.
Robotics is another potential application area. Used for axis positioning in manufacturing and assembly, the controller could bring an assembly to position as smoothly and quickly as practicable. Coordinating two or more axes of motion is feasible, as is the smooth, accurate manipulation of servo-driven robotic arms, synchronizing their actions with other ongoing processes.
Fine Control
For position or speed control, or both, there are times when it's desirable or even necessary that any position or speed changes be made very smoothly. For example, positioning a large telescope, gun turret, or similar object might involve substantial mass. The accuracy requirements might be very high, and yet we want to change position as quickly as possible. For that matter, starting a 700-car freight train and controlling its speed requires a delicate touch.
In Figure 3, the lower three curves are like those of Figure 1, except now the curve Sc is shown as Vc (current velocity). The fourth curve, Pc (current position), looks very much like one-half of Vc. Now then: Vc of the Vc curve is the current rate, Rc, for the Pc curve; Rc of the Vc curve is the current acceleration, Ac, of the Pc curve; and A of the Vc curve is the "third derivative" of Pc. Correspondingly, Vf becomes Rm for Pc, etc. Adjusting A of the Vc curve affords finite adjustment of the rate of change in the rate of change in the rate of change in the current postion, Pc. A change in motion can be just this smooth.
For process control, any time we require variable control, we also require a "current" desired set point; otherwise, there's no way for the controller to know whether the variable is where it should be. This is why set point is as much a part of control as variable measurement. For motion control applications, the "current" set point might be the desired speed or the desired position at a given time. In addition, the rate of change in the desired speed or position at any given time may be all important. The controller's set point generation allows changes in the final desired set point, the rate of change in the current set point, and the rate of change in the rate of change in the current set point at any time.

Homeschooling: How to Begin
To make your transition to homeschooling
a little easier, we recommend you follow
these "assignments" to get you started.
a little easier, we recommend you follow
these "assignments" to get you started.
- Attend a Getting Started workshop. (Workshops are listed on the Event Calendar.) This workshop will give you a general overview of homeschooling in Maine, which should be your first step in researching home education. In addition, read everything you can about home education. We have a great list of Homeschool Resource Books, which you can purchase from The Heart of HOME Bookstore. Making the decision to homeschool requires lots of initial homework on your part. Research the option to see if this is an alternative that will meet your needs and the needs of your family.
- Research the options for fulfilling the law at our Law Summary page. This summary briefly outlines the two legal ways to homeschool in Maine. Both options work well. Choosing one or the other will be a matter of preference. Contact the HOME Office and your Regional and County Representatives, so that you are sure to make a well informed choice.
- Join Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). Over the years, this organization has provided legal information, counsel and/or defense for hundreds of Maine families. They have also helped us many times with regulatory and legislative concerns. We highly recommend membership for homeschooling families in Maine. Even if your funds do not seem to work directly for your benefit, you can be sure that they are working to benefit us as a state and as a nation. A one year membership through HOME's group discount is $95.00 instead of the normal fee of $115.00. Contact HOME for an application for HSLDA membership and to inquire about the discount.
- Form or join a local support group. This will be your most valuable resource for practical experience and "know how". Support groups provide a wealth of ideas, news, encouragement, activities, etc. Being involved will help you maintain success in your homeschool program.
- Subscribe to The HOME Digest. The HOME Digest will keep you informed of state and national news, annual events and field trips, conventions, etc. Also, it will provide interesting and informative articles on many topics related to homeschooling. You will want to subscribe to receive HOME's Email Updates via email, as well. In addition, please become a fan of Homeschoolers of Maine on facebook! All of these avenues of support will keep you updated and connected with all that is going on in the Maine homeschooling community.
- Choose or plan your curriculum. There are so many choices here! It can seem overwhelming. Begin by purchasing Cathy Duffy's 100 Top Picks Curriculum Manual to aid in your planning. (This book can be ordered through The Heart of HOME Bookstore.) A convention or curriculum fair will also be important, so that you can see materials and talk with others about them. (Visit our Event Calendar for all upcoming event information.) Contact the HOME Office at 763-2880 for free curriculum counseling, and to make an appointment to browse the resources we have at the office.
- Get organized. Decide when, where, and how you will homeschool. A certain amount of routine and orderliness (within reason) will help you to accomplish your goals. For example, your day might begin with chores, a quiet devotional time and "formal" school work. After lunch might be the best time for hands-on activities, projects and classes or activities outside of the home. In the evening, you might plan to have family read-aloud time. Every family is different. During the first few weeks you will find what is most comfortable and workable for you.
- Make a prayerful decision to homeschool. Before embarking on this great adventure it is important to come before the Lord as a family and ask for His guidance and His blessing in what He as asked of you. It will be a step in faith for you, but the Lord will be walking with you. You need not be afraid.
- Remember to be flexible and adjust when needs change. Life changes, people change, situations change. Feel free to adjust and allow for the circumstances of "real life" to enhance and not hinder your home education plan.
- When money is tight, get creative! There are many ways to homeschool without spending a lot of money. For some suggestions, please read Homeschooling In Hard Times.
- When you feel discouraged (and we all do at times), be sure to share it with others in your support group. More than likely someone else has experienced the very thing you are feeling discouraged about. Continue to read books and attend workshops. Take time for yourself, with your spouse, or take time out of the regular routine to do something special with the kids. Most important: COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS! Take time to reflect back over the past weeks or months, and remember all that has been accomplished. You may be pleasantly surprised!

You look at her cards shuffling with awe. You have tried doing that, but fail every time. You snap out of your state of awe a bit after, then look back at your cider.

That last part must have been too quiet to hear, you hope. You sip the apple cider, and find that you have finished it. Dang.
"DidXsomethingXhappenXtoXyouXwhileXyouXwereXjustXa Xwiggler?"
She honestly seems concerned. Or just wants to change the topic from Nuri.
Aranka isn't going to buy any of that.
"No!! You're going to repay me right now!!"
By that, she means 'go find me something shiny to add to my collection.'
Zandig looks up and...are those tears? Let's hope not.
repay? h-how?
[|:| Eh?
Oh well now he actually cares what she might be looking at. Ublich gives the place a look over, oh...oh no no no..
[|:| ....buy me a drink..now.

Oooh, games, cool! ! don't really- Huh? Sorry, what was that last b!t? ! couldn't really hear you!
┅┅ I have reasons for not wanting to talk about mine, you just witnessed one of them. Perhaps next time I might crush a troll instead of a table. ┅┅✖
She sighs, trying to calm herself down.
♅ W-w-what? N-n-no, I don't th-th-think so. I've n-n-never liked t-t-talking to others. ♒
She frowns, getting a little annoyed. This topic is a touchy one.
I've just become a lurker, for now.

She decides to also order a sandwich.
She peeks up over the counter at him, pouting a bit.
"Isn't th&t h0w c0nvers&ti0n g0es? D0 y0u n0t w&nt t0 t&|k &b0ut y0urse|f? Th&t's kind& si||y! I th0ught tr0||s |0ved t&|king &b0ut themse|ves!"
Overlard's menagerie of various things
We've searched this trollslum from top to bottom, and all we've found is PORNO, PORNO, PORNO!
Azazel just drank his tea, generally not paying attention to anything and minding his own business.
『Wow! This place is so full of sketchy and 「colorful characters」 that it just might be on the same level as a very lame Saturday evening wiggler show!』
...Inniss entered the cafe, and seemed to already be on a roll after just seeing all the many...patrons in the joint. Yeesh. The yellow made his way to a random table and sat down, looking about and laughing at everyone on the inside.
She just shrugs and gestures to the parcel.
it is my way of apologizing. I over-reacted. you do NOT have to accept it if you do NOT want to.~
She walks back over to her table and curls up there again, still hoping she'll get some rest and the huge, fancily dressed troll won't notice her. So far, both of those things look good.
Nikole frowns now, and looks hurt,
All in dHOO time. Now sit. I must lecture yHOO on the basics of manners yHOO rHOOde little girl. He says, pointing to the seat.
Yωah it's way worsω thωn what I'vω donω, but I undωrstand how you'd want to not talk about it. He says with a cheerful nod.
How about somω chωωsωcakω to calm you down? I hωrω thω stuff is good.
Fellus zoned out.
Starting from Scratch.
hmm, usually peeps dont skip straight to tha part, but okay! She orders him some random drink, alcoholic, of course, insert a drink that he prefers here, and then hands it to him when it arrives. here ya go!
cries u should pm me so we can chat itll be fun i promise
Fantrolls n other things 0v0 vvv
"How do you think?? Don't tell me you've already forgotten what my favourite things are!!"
Because asking someone to cough up all their gold is a perfectly reasonable thing.
She sits there, munching on her sandwich, listening to all the noise and chatter that's going on
You clear your throat and avert your eyes.
Er, Uhm, <--> like to grow apples on my orchard. Would you l(--)ke one?!
Your voice cracked a bit at the end there, but you decide to just leave it.
Muride just closes her eyes, still lying on the cushions of the booth and drifts off to sleep.
((and so must her rper. ...But not in a booth.))
Zandig takes a minute to think, and gets up. He reaches into his pockets, pulling out anything considerably shiny (which isn't much) and handing it to her. Deep down he's hoping she doesn't make him relinquish his precious spike gloves.
Apparently not very good with memory, she shrugs and hops back over to sit in the indicated seat.
"I'|| h&ve y0u kn0w th&t my m&nners &re perfect|y g00d! My |usus is just & whiner! & big 0|d whiner &b0ut it! S0 I'm n0t rude, I'm just curi0us!!! C&n't he|p w&nting t0 kn0w things. Why &re y0u te&ching me? Wh&t's with the h&t? &re y0u g0ing t0 try &nd hit me &g&in? P|e&se d0n't!"

Java Native Interface Programming |
type passed from Java to native code is not the regular C string type (char *). Therefore, trying to directly print a jstring will likely result in a VM crash./* DO NOT USE jstring THIS WAY !!! */ JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_Prompt_getLine(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jstring prompt) { printf("%s", prompt);Your native method code must use JNI functions to convert Java strings to native strings. The JNI supports the conversion to and from native Unicode and UTF-8 strings. In particular, UTF-8 strings use the highest bit to signal multibyte characters; they are therefore upward compatible with 7-bit ASCII. In Java, UTF-8 strings are always 0-terminated.
Accessing Java Strings
To correctly print the string passed in from Java, your native method needs to callGetStringUTFChars
converts the built-in unicode representation of a Java string into a UTF-8 string. If you are certain that the string only contains 7-bit ASCII characters, you can directly pass the string to regular C functions, such asprintf
, as is shown inPrompt.c
.JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_Prompt_getLine(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jstring prompt) { char buf[128]; const char *str = (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, prompt, 0); printf("%s", str); (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, prompt, str);Note that when your native code is finished using the UTF-8 string, it must callReleaseStringUTFChars
informs the VM that the native method is finished with the string, so that the memory taken by the UTF-8 string can then be freed. Failing to callReleaseStringUTFChars
results in a memory leak. This will ultimately lead to system memory exhaustion.The native method can also construct a new string using the JNI function
. The following lines of code fromJava_Prompt_getLine
show this:scanf("%s", buf); return (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, buf); }Using the JNIEnv Interface Pointer
Native methods must access and manipulate Java objects, such as strings, through the
interface pointer. In C, this requires using theenv
pointer to reference the JNI function. Notice how the native method uses theenv
interface pointer to reference the two functions,GetStringUTFChars
, that it calls. In addition, env is passed as the first parameter to these functions.Other JNI Functions for Accessing Java Strings
The JNI also provides functions to obtain the Unicode representation of Java strings. This is useful, for example, on those operating systems that support Unicode as the native format. There are also utility functions to obtain both the UTF-8 and Unicode length of Java strings.
takes the Java string and returns a pointer to an array of Unicode characters that comprise the string. ReleaseStringChars
releases the pointer to the array of Unicode characters. NewString
constructs a newjava.lang.String
object from an array of Unicode characters. GetStringLength
returns the length of a string that is comprised of an array of Unicode characters. GetStringUTFLength
returns the length of a string if it is represented in the UTF-8 format.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Josh Leivo to a three-year NHL Entry Level contract.
The left-winger recorded 19 goals and added 25 assists for 44 points in 34 games while serving as an alternate captain with the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League this season.
Leivo later joined Kitchener in a trade on January 8, 2013. He currently has seven goals and 15 assists in 23 games for the Rangers. Overall, his 40 assists, 66 points, and +22 mark leads Kitchener players in all three categories.
Leivo, 19, was Toronto's third choice, 86th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

NBC finishes the Olympics with a whimper instead of a roar
NBC saw a mixed bag for its Olympic TV ratings. And while the Peacock has to be pleased about the numbers for NBCSN, its primetime ratings saw significant drops starting at the end of its first week of coverage.
After a promising start in which NBC averaged 31.7 million viewers for the Opening Ceremony and another 25.1 million for Day 1 of the XXII Winter Olympic Games, the viewership fell steadily and so did the ratings. They fell to the point where on some nights, ratings were below the levels of the 2006 Games in Turin which were the last European Olympics. NBC compared 2014's ratings to 2006 rather than the Vancouver Games as they were mostly live.
But even with this comparison, NBC found ratings and viewership falling steadily to the point where not only fell below Vancouver levels, but also Turin's numbers.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Traffic deaths in Wisconsin have climbed 14 percent so far this year.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation figures show 178 fatalities were recorded in the first five months of 2011. As of Friday, the number of deaths this year is 210.
AAA spokeswoman Pam Moen says the increase may be due to a mild winter during which more drivers were out on the highways. Moen says irresponsible driving behavior is also a factor in the number of traffic fatalities -- including driving while under the influence of alcohol, lack of seat belts, speeding and distractions, such as cell phones.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/KucCXd ) reports that this summer, the DOT will be deploying high-visibility enforcement details to crack down on unbuckled passengers and intoxicated drivers.

UPDATE THE THIRD: And thanks again for helping us get weekly 5th!
UPDATE THE 2ND: Thanks for putting us on the front page!
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for giving "Legends" the votes to get Daily First!
Some Legends speak of heroes... and some speak of... these guys.
The carefully laid plans of the "Cult of the Lich" go horribly awry, as the Lord of Death himself is summoned into the world after being trapped in a dark tome for thousands of years. Our two unlikely heroes, the bumbling wizard wanna-be Xiphon, and his height impaired companion Slinks, are exiled to a evil forest and begin their quest to right the wrongs they help caused... or to just get into more trouble.
"Legends of the Black Book - Part 1" is the debut effort by team Toonwerks... made up of three Flash old-timers Casey McDonald ("Xiphon"), Mark Schneider ("th1rt3en"), and Joseph Blanchette ("LegendaryFrog" ;). With the goal of delivering original and smart animations, each one of us play to our strengths to give the the best possible experience to the viewer. We hope you enjoy the first part of this multi part series, and urge you to give feedback so we can make improvements in the future!

Nice work
Its great and i cant wait for more! but, am I the only one who noticed that the L of Legends has a Swastika on it? Purely unintentional, i hope, but it does look a little suspiciously like a Swastika. Just thought Id point that out.

The first in a series of posts on the incoming class of Bearcats football, the first of the Tommy Tuberville era. On the docket for today, Quarterbacks.
The Houston Cougars enter a newish league, one with a lot of familiar faces, this year. They do so with a second year head coach coming off a disapointing debut. Houston will have a uique offensive approach for the AAC, but big questions on defense.
One of the most under utilized players for the Bearcats under Butch Jones and Mike Bajakian was Ralph David Abernathy IV. Will Eddie Gran and Darrin Hinshaw find a way to get the speedster more involved in the offense.
Long term starters Drew Frey and Anthony McClung are expected to resume their positions at Strong Safety and Wide Receiver respectively. A position battle continues to rage between Alex Chisum and Damon Julian
Did you know that you can get 75/1 odds on the Cincinnati Bearcats winning the national championship
Tony Pike checks in at #9 on the list of the 125 greatest Bearcats
Bob Bell was a terror before his time at 6'4" 250 pounds. It is a great shame that the Bearcats have no sack or TFL records from his era
The Cincinnati Bearcats search for an all around playmaker to fill part of the void left by Isaiah Pead isn't getting the attention that the QB battle is getting. But it is arguably more important to the success of the offense to fill that role

What Can I Do About My Child's Bedwetting?
My 12-year-old son still frequently wets the bed. How can I help him?
– Mark
Bedwetting, or enuresis, affects many older kids and even teens. Although the chances are good that your son will outgrow the condition, consider talking to your doctor, who can help determine possible causes and suggest the best treatment.
Treatment methods may include behavior modification, the use of a bedwetting alarm, medication, counseling, and other methods. Most important, knowing that he has the support and understanding of his family can help your son to feel less frustrated or ashamed about wetting the bed.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Checking the Facts on Pro and Con Casino AdsBy Dave Franzman, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — With less than two and a half weeks to go to the casino vote in Linn County, the claims from both the "vote no" and "vote yes" groups are coming fast and furious. But how do those claims made on ads check out?
A look at several recent ads from both groups airing on TV showed one key area of disagreement involves just how many jobs a casino operation in Cedar Rapids would create. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission does track how many people work at various casinos around the state. At the Isle Casino in Waterloo, the most recent number was 556. At the Riverside Casino in Riverside, the number was 715. Backers of the proposed casino in Cedar Rapids project casino employment of 362. Backers insist it's a conservative figure, but also takes into account the urban casino proposed for Linn County would not have the golf course, hotel or other "resort-type" features that swell employment at some other casinos around the state. One of the most recent ads aired by the "Just Say No Coalition" questions why casino supporters claim a million visitors a year would come to a facility in Cedar Rapids. One part of that ad goes "when you account for repeat customers, the number isn't a million it could be just 120,000." Todd Henderson, a spokesperson for the vote no group, said when casino supporters talk about a million visitors a year, they're actually using the casino attendance figures which isn't the same as individual visitors. "That's how he gets to a million, by counting the same people seven or eight times," Henderson said. Marcia Rogers, a spokesperson for the Vote Yes Linn County group, said supporters are using that figure because it's the way all casinos in the state tally attendance. "If as they claim it's 120,000 or a million, what does it really matter. It's people coming in the door spending money," Rogers said. Comparing the closest casinos to a potential Cedar Rapids site finds yearly attendance there well over the million mark. In the most recent fiscal year, reported to the state racing and gaming commission, the Isle in Waterloo showed 1.47-million people passed through the turnstiles. Riverside reported 1.99-million. Both pro and con forces say trying to estimate the actual number of individual, and not repeat visitors, is only based on estimates from other casinos. Analyzing a Vote Yes Linn County add found a number of people portrayed as "average" residents talking about job creation. One line went "we're talking about 600 jobs, over 600 new jobs — paying jobs." Backers said that figure includes the 362 employment estimate for the casino itself plus 137 short term construction workers. Casino supporters also believe the gaming activity would create another 134 indirect jobs at other businesses. Rogers said that estimate on the ad came from a national consulting company that works in the gaming industry. "They go into every single detail and try to come up with numbers that really give you a complete picture," she said. Opponent spokesperson Henderson said the vote no group doesn't accept the idea that a Cedar Rapids casino would add jobs to other businesses. They cite comments from one University of Iowa professor who insists a casino would hurt competing restaurants and bars. "They're the ones making claims it will create jobs for surrounding businesses. And the proof is on them and they don't have independent studies to back up their claims," Henderson said. Henderson did agree that one question raised in recent opponent ads was answered. Last Monday, casino supporters did disclose where they would like to locate a casino if voters approve.

Wine-Barrel Matured Irish Whiskey Debuts
Jack Bettridge
Posted: February 24, 2012
Nobody ever accused Ireland of making great wines, but one product for which it is renowned—whiskey—just got a little more interesting with some help from California wine.
Extra maturation of whiskey in barrels formerly used to make Petite Sirah is the unique twist to Concannon Irish Whiskey. Concannon, a family winery with a strong Irish legacy, supplies the casks to Ireland's Cooley Distillery, which then uses them to finish whiskey previously aged in ex-Bourbon barrels for at least four years. The wine-barrel finishing process takes about four months. That whiskey is then blended with other Cooley stock—also aged in ex-Bourbon—to create the blend.
The time in wine oak gives the light, floral whiskey rounder berry as well as a creamy texture and a hint of wood.
The fourth-generation vintner John Concannon says that Irish is the fastest-growing category today and that his family's business with its Irish legacy is uniquely positioned to make an Irish-American connection. "It's cool to be Irish right now," he enthuses, adding that Irish can be a felicitous entry point to the whiskey world.
Concannon further points out that his company has had a history of innovation, having created America's Petite Sirah after his father, Jim, and Uncle Joe began growing that grape varietal in 1961. "We like to try different things. The four-month finish gives the whiskey the essence of Concannon."
Concannon traces his Irish roots back to 1865, when his great-grandfather, James, emigrated to Boston. Finding that city unwelcoming (help-wanted signs of the time openly stated "Irish Need Not Apply"), he moved his family around the United States and eventually settled in California's Livermore Valley, where he became a vintner in 1883. Subsequent generations kept the business going—even surviving Prohibition by making legal altar wines for religious sacraments.
Cooley for its part is something of a craft distiller, having been founded in 1987 to create the old Irish brands Tyrconnell and Locke's.
At that time, the rest of the industry in Ireland had been consolidated by the Irish Distillers Group, which made such whiskies as Jameson's and Power's at the New Midleton Distillery and Bushmills at the Old Bushmills Distillery in Northern Ireland. Cooley was recently bought by Beam Global, maker of Jim Bourbon.
New Midleton has since passed into the hands of Pernod Ricard, and Diageo now owns Bushmills.

Just to revive an article from a few months ago, figured I'd comment on Concannon Irish whiskey: I'm on my 4th (5th?) bottle and I keep finding more things to like about it! My local shop has it for under 20 bucks so I'll keep buying! Try some!
Alan Dalton — Rock Hill, SC, USA, — May 5, 2013 12:25pm ET
Concannon is one of the best Irish Whiskeys I've ever had. I've enjoyed it with med-full bodied sticks and its a good pair.

Recovered Gas Vapors Add Value, Cut Emissions
Crude oil storage tanks are used to regulate the flow of oil between production wells and the trucks or pipelines that will transport it to the refinery. Although crude oil usually is only stored for a short period, natural gas dissolved in the crude oil can vaporize and collect at the top of the tank. Vapor recovery units have be fitted onto storage tanks to collect these so-called "fugitive emissions" for use as fuel and reduce the chances that gas vapors will be released into the environment.

Coalbed Methane Moves from Unconventional to Mainstream Energy Resource
New natual gas reserves are vital to guaranteeing a steady supply of affordable fuel to power our cars, heat and cool our homes, generate electricity and preserve Americans' quality of life. Large amounts of methane, or natural gas, are stored inside of coal. In the past, coalbed methane was primarily a hazard to coal miners and was vented to the atmosphere during mining. Now, new technology allows this natural gas to be produced for use in our homes, electrical generation plants and factories. The result, coalbed methane is now a significant part of our Nation's natural gas supply and less methane, an important greenhouse gas, is released to the atmosphere.

Natural Gas Hydrates May Help Fuel the Future
Gas hydrates – natural gas and water frozen together into a solid substance – are common in arctic permafrost regions and in sediments in the ocean's deep waters. Research is now underway to better understand this vast, untapped resource: how natural gas hydrates form, where they are located and how they could be used as a future source of natural gas.
