It's different to typical colleges.
If you want to party, then you can go make yourself a party. There aren't a lot of bars near Reed and no clubs. If you go to downtown portland, both can be found. Unless, you have a car or a friend who has a car going at at night to downtown portland would be inconvenient because the buses don't run that late and Reed does not offer any shuttles from there. Although, not a lot of people venture out to downtown portland for clubs and bars, mostly just concerts.
Variety of Parties, Both on an Off-Campus – Most weekends there's something pretty good going on, even though it's a small school. If you like to party hard, you can definitely do that. The school is not cliquey, but there are people who like to party more than others and who tend to hang out together. The school has little events fairly frequently that are pretty much completely organized by students, and there are house parties and shows too.

Most Reedies do not have a strong grasp on Portland's nightlife. Since the Portland nightlife mostly hinges on being 21 or older, most Reedies either stay on campus, visit off-campus parties, or wait until they are 21 to fully peruse Portland's selections. Despite the age restrictions, Portland's club and concert scene doesn't fail to please. Portland offers numerous clubs with good drinks, live music, and all the dancing you could want.
If you aren't 21, then coffeehouses and other entertainment options are available, but they aren't as prevalent as the clubs, concert halls, and bars. Reedies, although generally preferring to party on or around campus, do occasionally leave the library to venture to a theater, coffeehouse, or around town. Additionally, students find that most non-club places (with a few coffeehouse exceptions) close rather early for their tastes, with many places shutting their doors between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. In all, nightlife exists in Portland, but it isn't as conducive to people under 21 as many Reedies would like.
The crystal ballroom hosts a plethora of concerts year-round. Many up-and-coming artists and established favorites play here.

When many big-name artists come to Portland, they play at the Aladdin. The drinks are moderately-priced, and many Reedies frequent events here.
3017 SE Milwaukie Ave.
(503) 234-9694
The Pub has cheap beer and is close to campus. Many Reedies enjoy getting a bit away and relaxing in whatever comfort can be found in a pub. There are pool tables and arcade-style games.
4107 SE 28th Ave.
(503) 235-0969
The preferred bar of 21-and-over Reedies, the Lutz offers very cheap Pabst Blue Ribbon beer ($1 per can). Also, there are pool tables and arcade-style games. The Lutz is near many Reed-friendly restaurants (the Delta), so an evening of hitting both the Lutz and these restaurants isn't uncommon.

Tonight's action is highlighted by Syracuse and Baylor's meeting in the Maui Invitational final.
The schedule for the Tuesday before Thanksgiving features a pair of championship games and semifinals in Maui, Cancun, and Estero.
Thanksgiving week Tuesday's main highlights: The Legends and CBE Classic finals and the Maui Invitational semifinals, featuring a couple of surprise qualifiers.
Thanksgiving week has arrived, which means it's time for the Paradise Jam to end and the Maui Invitational, and a few other interesting events (Legends Classic, anyone?), to begin.
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs concluded the CBE Classic college basketball tournament with a win in Kansas City, outlasting the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to claim a 61-57 victory.
Well, last night's game was fun for about 15 minutes, then it was all downhill from there. As a consolation prize for falling to the California Golden Bears, Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs get to try...
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs hung with the California Golden Bears for the first 15 minutes of their CBE Classic college basketball game in Kansas City on Monday night, but, after that, it was all...

Several attempts have been made to contact family members without success.Umbarger is about 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighs 115 pounds and has brown eyes and blond hair.

Coconino National Forest officials say an 1250-acre wildfire in northern Arizona is 65 percent contained on Sunday. The size change is due primarily to a flight around the fire perimeter that gives crews a better idea of the acreage. The fire is burning in grass and pinyon-juniper on the west side of State Route 87. Spokeswoman Heather Noel says no structures are threatened by the growing Jack Fire that was reported around 11:40 a.m. Saturday. The fire is about 13 miles northeast of Happy Jack. The rock-climbing area in Jack's Canyon was evacuated and closed. Noel says firefighters put a line around the right flank of the fire. Aircraft dropped retardant on the left side, and crews are trying to set up a line. About 90 firefighters will work into the night ahead of 24 mph winds expected Sunday morning. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Two polar bear cubs made their first appearance Wednesday in the Netherlands.
They seemed a bit shy at first but quickly got adjusted to their enclosure at the zoo.
Their nurturing mother, Huggies, helped them feel at home.
The zoo is one of two participating in a special breeding program for endangered polar bears.
Both Huggies and her oldest daughter are breeding polar bears successfully.
Huggies gave birth to a third cub last year, but it did not survive.

Tucson police are asking for help identifying a man who police say is a suspect in an auto theft investigation.
The man is described as a Caucasian with brown hair, 5'10" to 6'00" tall, approximately 230 to 250 pounds. He has a tattoo of unknown design on his lower right leg.
Police released a photograph of the man that was taken from surveillance video footage.
According to police, the man was seen in the 7300 block of East Rosewood in the driver's seat of a truck that was being towed. Security guards in the area made contact with the man, who was left behind by the person who had been towing the truck. After speaking with the security guards, the man left, abandoning the truck.
Later, the truck was reported stolen from a nearby residence. It has been returned to the victim.
Anyone with information about the man's identity or whereabouts is urged to call 911 or 88-CRIME.

An East Texas woman who stoned two of her children to death and severely injured her other child is out of a Texas mental institution.
Deanna Laney of New Chapel Hill was acquitted of capital murder by reason of insanity in 2004. Laney was ordered to inpatient treatment at Kerrville State Hospital. In court, Laney testified that it was God who told her to kill her children.
Each year since the crime, Laney has been up for evaluation. Now, nearly eight years later, she's out.
For nearly eight years, it's been the state's burden of proof to keep Deanna Laney confined to a state mental institution. Last week, in a closed hearing, four psychiatrists testified there was no reason to keep Laney hospitalized.
KLTV exclusively obtained the court documents from that private hearing. Click here to read those documents.
A transcript from a conversation between Laney and her doctor, six days after she killed two of her children on Mother's Day weekend 2003, reads as follows:
Laney: I got Luke and I drug him around.
Dr. Resnick: Drug him around?
Laney: By his feet.
Dr. Resnick:Oh, uh, Luke.
Laney: Luke... And I hid him behind the swing that we have over there.
Seven months after the killings, and while on medication, this is what jurors heard from Laney during her trial:
"I had to get Joshua. I didn't want him to see Luke. I drug Luke around. I drug Luke around. I put this rock down on his chest so that he couldn't breathe. And I said, Lord I just can't do it longer. I looked up and there was a streak of lightning that came down and that was like a sign to me that he was dead," Laney said.
Investigators found eight-year-old Joshua and six-year-old Luke in their underwear, bludgeoned to death in the front yard. 14-month-old Aaron was found in his crib; he survived his mother's attack, but is now brain damaged.
Authorities described the scene as horrific.
The Laneys were known as a Christian family; the children were home schooled. At the time, their church family stood beside them, saying "Obviously, this is a tragedy that has touched two of the precious families in our church, but we affirm as a local church and pledge our support and our continued prayers for Dee, Keith and Aaron and we do believe that somehow God will bring beauty out of the ashes."
Now released from her court-mandated hospitalization, Laney must follow a set of rules:
Where Laney lives now, only a few people, including her attorney, know.
The four doctors who recommended her release say she's not a threat to herself or society. The state says they will always disagree.
If Laney violates any of those rules, the court could reassess her outpatient treatment.
In 2008, Laney's ex-husband, Keith Laney, remarried.

Carolina Beach State Park Marina Takes Recycling Fishing Line Seriously
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 07 October 2012 23:00
- Written by Super User
Unusual outdoor recycling container at Carolina Beach State Park Marina is convenient for fishermen.
Carolina Beach State Park Marina has installed one indoor and two outdoor monofilament line recycling containers in hopes of capturing unwanted fishing line before it becomes litter. North Carolina Big Sweep provided the outdoor fishing line recycling containers, and the marina staff installed them on wooden posts near the fishing areas. The indoor container is located inside the marina. The marina at the 761-acre State park on Pleasure Island provides access "to some of North Carolina's best fishing spots," according to ncparks.gov. "Fishing is big here," said Chris Helms, State Park superintendent.
The environment benefits when monofilament line is recycled, because monofilament line is non-biodegradable and lasts up to 600 years. It's thin and usually clear, so animals have difficulty seeing it and can easily become entangled in it. A certified Clean Marina, Carolina Beach State Park Marina wants to keep fishing line out of the environment to protect birds and turtles. Helms, a 20-year veteran in State Parks, said he was stationed at Lake Waccamaw State Park when he saw a barred owl hanging upside down in a "mess" of fishing line. The good news back then was that they were able to rescue it in time, and the owl was later released alive. That is not always how it works out. Since 2000, Big Sweep volunteers reported only nine of the 32 animals entangled in fishing line could be released alive.
Funded by Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative and NOAA, the goal of this Big Sweep project is to reduce the harmful effects of monofilament line by providing a recycling container to each of the 15 Clean Marinas selected to participate in the project. In return for receiving a free recycling container, marina staff agree to regularly maintain the container as often as needed and to keep record of how much monofilament line is being recycled. The Clean Marina program and its companion, Clean Boating, are voluntary, non-regulatory programs coordinated by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. The Clean Marina program's purpose is to give recognition to those marinas and boatyards that manage their facilities using Best Management Practices (BMP's) and environmentally responsible efforts. N.C. Big Sweep, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was originally founded in 1987 as Beach Sweep, an initiative to remove unsightly and harmful litter from the state's coastline. It expanded inland in 1989 and was renamed Big Sweep, becoming the nation's first statewide waterway cleanup. Its mission expanded in 2002 from litter-free waters to a litter-free environment. During its 25-year history, almost 320,000 Big Sweep volunteers have retrieved over 10.7 million pounds of debris—which is the visual equivalent of more than 26,000 football fields five feet deep in debris.

Ralph Malbrough / Contributing Writer
I can't remember where I saw it, but apparently the Saints are wondering if they should stop playing, 'Stand Up and Get Crunk' at home games.
The answer is yes.
"Get Crunk" was the anthem of 2009 but just like Cha-Ching, Whoop There It Is, I Believe, and a less fun Saints gameday activity, wearing a paper bag on your head, it's time to put it in the time capsule and wait for whatever comes along next to grab Saints fans attention when they are winning.
I'm not here to bash 'Get Crunk'. I get chills every time I hear it. From 2009-2011 the Saints offense scored so much we heard it on game day as much as PA announcer Jerry Romig. Every great season needs some goofy activity or song fans grab onto. 'Get Crunk' was so bizarre and random for a football game it was perfectly New Orleans.
If I close my eyes I can still feel the chills from seeing Tracy Porter's interception of Brett Favre and hugging my mom screaming, "I knew Brett Favre would screw up!" I'm not even sure the 'Dome actually played 'Get Crunk' after the play, but in my memory they sure did.
The thing is, hearing 'Get Crunk' after the Saints scored a meaningless against Carolina in the season finale was miserable. I want 'Get Crunk' to only remind me of the spectacular. Nothing great lasts forever, if it did it wouldn't be great. If the Saints are still playing 'Get Crunk' in 2015, it will be like watching a 75-year-old guy dancing to Gangnam Style. Did you just have a brain aneurysm thinking about that? I did.
In college I took an acting class and one of the things the teacher talked about was recall. Say an actress needs to cry during a scene. Well, if she uses recall she'll think of something sad in her life like a parent dying or something. It allows the actress to create a wave of emotion so the tears start flowing like Clare Danes in Homeland. The thing is you can only use a certain memory to create an emotion so many times. Eventually your body and mind say, "Nope, thinking of when your pet turtle died in the fourth grade isn't so sad anymore." The memory isn't linked to emotion anymore.
If we want to always hear 'Get Crunk' and for a moment feel the magic of 2009 then we have to put it in away and only bring it out to reminisce or maybe for playoff games.
So long, 'Get Crunk.' It was great fun and we'll see you around when we are having a cold one and remembering the good times.
The Games
Last Week: 2-2
Denver (-9.5) vs. Baltimore: I think Roger Goodell is trolling my mother. She hates Goodell with the heat of a thousand suns for ruining the 2012 Saints season and seeing him hug Ray Lewis drove her crazy.
"Goodell couldn't even prove whatever he said the Saints did yet he treats a person convicted of obstruction of justice in a murder trial like a hero! He better hope I don't see him Super Bowl week."
I think in general Saints fans hate Goodell and love to read anything about how awful he is. Nearly 25,000 of you read my column on why he's ruining the 2013 Saints. If I could every headline would have why Goodell is terrible in it. Internet gold.
As for the game, the Ravens aren't nearly good enough to win a road playoff game.
Broncos 30-17
San Francisco (-3) vs. Green Bay: If Justin Smith is anywhere near 100 percent how is Green Bay's offensive line going to keep Aaron Rogers upright? Everyone remembers the replacement referees botching the Packers game in Seattle. You know what you probably forgot? Those eight times the Seahawks sacked Rogers in the first half.
49ers 27-14
Atlanta (-2.5) vs. Seattle: I want to pick the Seahawks. Lord knows I'll be rooting for them because if Atlanta caps another 13-3 season with a home playoff game it will be fantastic Sunday on Twitter but Russell Wilson will fail late.
Falcons 31-27
Houston (+9.5) at New England: This is the game everyone is thinking will be the worst of the weekend. I'm going the opposite way and predicting the Texans come really close to the upset. Houston has no pressure and it will be big fun late Sunday when this game is tied. Tom Brady figures it out or Gary Kubiak does something dumb so either way Patriots move on.
Patriots 27-23

Reunited by Renea Tutt - 10 months ago
"These are the "McCain Cousins". They grew up together attending camp out on the Llano River with the parents. The cousins grew older and had their own college and business careers and recently gather to attend the funeral of their Grandfather. At that event they came to the decision that they didn't want to see each other just for Sad events and decided to get together. Russell Ritchie, one if the younger cousins choose a weekend and announced a cousins camp out for Llano. It was just fir the cousins,spouses and their children. I'm the Aunt and mother of 2 of the cousins and along with my husband thought we'd sponsor a tee shirt design contest for the shirts. Only two cousins submitted designs; both using your web site. The final design was a combination if those two designs. The camp out was a big success, the Cousin Council met and choose the second weekend in October for the next campout next year but it will be at a different state park in Texas. We will again sponsor a shirt design contest and look forward to using your business for them again."

An Allentown stripper who was found dead in a Bethlehem Township home in December died from the combined effects of heroin and alcohol intoxication, Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek said Wednesday.
Lysek has ruled the death of 26-year-old Amy Soule accidental. Law enforcement authorities had initially labeled the death suspicious.
Soule, who was employed at the Platinum Plus Gentleman's Club on Airport Road, died on Dec. 5 in the master bedroom of 3920 Country Club Road, the home of Chad Michael Delp, 36, according to a search warrant executed at the scene.
Police found Soule's body nude, save for a pair of low-cut white socks. She was lying face down on top of the bed's comforter and covered by a white blanket from the waist down, the search warrant said.
Police found empty heroin packets and a glass pipe and grinder – items commonly used to smoke marijuana – near Soule's body.
Delp told police that he had been conversing with Soule by telephone and text for a year before he met her in person at the strip club on Dec. 4, according to the search warrant. She accompanied him home after she got off work, Delp told police.
Delp said that he left Soule behind when he went to work the next morning and that she was dead in his bed when he got back home at a little after 1 p.m.

for my weight/age the little chart on the walking machine shows for "weight loss" i should stick to 130-140 Beats per min, and 150+ is "cardio".
if i stick for mid/high 150's BPM, would i have noticably LESS fat loss then sticking to teh 130-140..?? at 130-140 bpm it seems to me like im not doing ****.. im barely walking at any pace at all..
thanks in advance.
I ignore those charts on the machines. At my age (42) I'm supposed to stick to 111 for optimal fat loss - dull and boring! I really learned to like Bill Phillips Body For Life cardio program in which you vary you intenstiy gradually up to a peak and then drop it back down 4 times in 20 - 30 minutes. So at the lowest level of intensity my heart rate might be 111 but at the peak it might be at 170. It feels right to me and it really keeps my bf% in check. I prefer to do this on a stationary bike but I do it on the tread mill as well just because I love to run. There are lots of different oppinions on this topic. Try different methods for 3 or 4 weeks at a time and you'll find the right program for you.
sometimes slowly
My stats:
Age - 43
ht - 5' - 7"
wt - 152 lbs
bf% - 10.5%
pipe dream goal 175 lbs @ 10% bf

DUNCAN Okla_ A police pursuit through the streets of Duncan this afternoon lands a young man behind bars. Police still don't know why they teenager took off in the first place.
Authorities say it started around noon, when an officer tried to stop an 18-year-old driver for speeding on the 400 block of south 27th Street. The chase went through several neighborhoods and even an alley with the suspect driving up to 60 MPH. He ran two road blocks and eventually ended up in the Duncan High School teacher's parking lot. That's where police arrested him.
Now, the teen faces several traffic violations, and police still can't figure out why he took off in the first place. They say he had a valid driver's license and insurance.
Duncan Public School Superintendent Dr. Sherry Labyer said the students were held in their classrooms until police escorted the suspect off campus. None of the students were harmed.

As a follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed DRM Part 1 EP, Visionquest's own Ryan Crosson has again teamed up with Cesar Merveille, this time for a similarly named full-length album—the label's first ever. With a more than cinematic unity of sound and flow, Crosson and Merveille together offer up nine pieces that are less like tracks and more like a jam session of sultry and chill sounds dabbling in many different genres.
The two Berlin-based producers are definitely no strangers to the spotlight. Crosson has appeared on the cover of both Mixmag and DJ Mag this year, and Merveille has quickly skyrocketed as part of Luciano's Cadenza crew. We recently chatted with them about their new album, working together, and what the future holds for the duo.

The Early Childhood Education Department at Seminole State College is the recipient of a grant intended to train and educate childcare professionals. The grant, awarded to the College since 2007, aims to enhance school readiness in young children who attend programs in the area and to prevent behavior issues and other challenges.
Trainings are based on recent research into different areas of development, including language and literacy, cognitive, social-emotional, physical and intellectual growth. They also are based on best practices for creating safe, healthy learning environments.
The grant, awarded by the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole County, has helped fund workshops and other opportunities that allow childcare professionals to accumulate training hours to apply toward national credentials. With matching state funds and in-kind contributions from the College, the initiative represents an investment in the improvement of education for preschool children.
The grant supports Seminole State's Path to Professionalism program, a series of workshops designed to increase childcare professionals' knowledge of early childhood education. The grant also helps fund quarterly provider meetings, curriculum fairs, the annual Early Learning Conference, quarterly parent and provider newsletters, career advising services and the Connecting Before Correcting parenting workshop series.
About the Early Learning Coalition: The Early Learning Coalition is the local policy body responsible for overseeing early care and education services in Seminole County. The coalition works collaboratively with Central Florida Coordinated Care for Children and a network of more than 300 public and private providers to ensure that children receive the high quality, developmentally appropriate services needed to enter school ready to learn. The coalition also funds before- and after-school services for children under the age of 13.

Sentimental Sunday: Routines and RitualsPosted: September 19, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Relatives, Sentimental Sunday Leave a comment
Note: Posting was light last week because of a death in the extended family, which prompted this post. It isn't exactly genealogy, I'll admit. But it IS sentimental.
What takes you by surprise is how practiced you've become at this routine.
The long-distance phone call, answered with a pleasure that vanishes with the bad news. The day spent conferring with your brothers and sisters, discussing logistics. Who can make the funeral, and who can't? Who's carpooling with whom?
The most appropriate outfit for the funeral is always at the cleaners. Why is this? Never mind; just get down there to liberate it before they close for the day. And print out the directions to everyplace (when are you going to get a GPS, already?).
A day later, you rattle down the expressways and over the bridges to a church in an area you dimly remember from childhood visits. Or maybe you just think you remember it. There have been many morning funeral Masses in many sunny churches. (Except for your father's, where everything seemed dark, which can't be right, because he was buried on a broiling, bright August day.)
So many little packages of Kleenex, discreetly unearthed from purses and pockets. Nobody wants to come unprepared. ("Make sure you have lots of tissues," the church secretary told you and one of your sisters the day before your mother's funeral. "You may not think you're going to cry in front of everyone, but you will." Your sister, furious, said the secretary had no right to make assumptions about such a thing, and she stayed dry-eyed the next day. But only at church.)
People do cry. Including yourself, including at funerals where the death was expected, the illness long. There is always something that breaks your heart and your composure. Sometimes it's just the sheer weight of all those past funerals. Singing the hymns helps, if it's a singing kind of crowd. But Irish families, who love to sing at parties, don't always do that sort of thing at funerals.
The ride to the cemetery always snaps you back to attention. Clinging to your spot in a long procession of cars winding through neighborhood streets and crowded parkways is a tradition in your big Northeastern family. Someone always gets lost somewhere. There was a huge problem once trying to get to Holy Cross in Flatbush, involving your father and a wrong turn or two that he never discussed afterward. Determined not to become a family story this time out, you grip the steering wheel grimly, refusing to let civilians cut in on the procession. Too bad for them.
After the cemetery, there is lunch. The restaurant is an old favorite of the aunts and uncles and cousins. You went to your first big grown-up party there. Your 13-year-old has been there, too, although she would not remember, being one at the time. The decor and the menu are unchanged. Ditto the waiters, unsmiling but fast, quiet and efficient. There is great pleasure in eating and talking with all the cousins, catching up. When you were younger, you wasted a lot of energy feeling guilty about taking pleasure in such a thing, on such a day. Now you just roll with it.
All too soon, it's time to go. You need to beat the traffic at the bridge crossings. Everyone hugs, and the cousins ask whether you will be all right, going all the way back to Jersey. Of course you will be. It isn't really that far. Unlike the distance from the time when the parents and the uncles and the aunts were all alive, when the parties and fights and jokes were epic, when you were one of the kids.
Mary's Maiden Name: A Research Score CardPosted: September 16, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Haigneys, newspapers, Relatives 5 Comments
Resolving the birth name of my great-great-grandmother Mary (1836-1892), wife of Martin Haigney, has played out like a tennis match in my brain for several years. Here's the recap, in order of evidence uncovered:
First point: A death certificate for Mary's second child, William (1867-1930), listed his parents' names as Martin Haigney and Mary CARROLL. [NYC #1923, 27 January 1930].
Second point: The death certificate for Mary's first child, my great-grandfather Joseph F. Haigney (1859-1938), listed his parents as Martin Haigney and Mary MAHON [NYC #19507, 10 October 1938].
The refs say: Oh, great. We can theorize away here. (Since William and Joseph were born eight years apart, was their father married twice, each time to a Mary?) But eventually it's time to stop horsing around and look at the only actual evidence in hand: the death certificates. And both these Brooklyn death certificates, sad to say, are not examples of thoroughness.
The "informant" for Joseph's is "Hospital Records." There is no date of birth and his age is given only in years, with the "months" and "days" spaces left blank. (Way to go, guys.) Same situation on William's age, although at least the informant was an actual person — his widow, Sarah.
But let's assume that Joseph's widow, Catherine, was the informant for the hospital records/death certificate. Which widow would likely know more about Joseph's and William's birth family in Watervliet, N.Y.? Sarah Haigney (nee Dowd) was born and bred in Brooklyn, according to census records. Catherine Haigney (nee Connors) was born in Watervliet, according to her elder son's World War I draft registration card.
OK, advantage MAHON. (Assuming Catherine really was the ultimate informant. Sigh.)
Third point: Mary Haigney's April 1892 obituary. Naturally, this does not provide a maiden name. (You didn't think it would be that easy, did you?) The point here is its inclusion in a database of death notices compiled by the Troy Irish Genealogy Society (TIGS) from files maintained by employees of the Burden Iron Company — a major employer for Troy and Watervliet. Did a family member work for Burden? There are no Haigneys listed in payroll records available in another TIGS database (including searches under many alternate spellings). No Mahons, either. But there are lots of Carrolls. Hmmm. On the third hand, there are quite a few McMahons.
The refs say: Advantage still MAHON. Where the heck did William's widow get the idea that Mary was a Carroll?
Fourth point: Sometime after all of this, I acquired a copy of The List, a Haigney family fact sheet compiled by my father's oldest sister, Catherine. Here, Martin Haigney's wife is named Mary MAHON.
The refs say: This Catherine is Mary's great-granddaughter, born in 1914, 22 years after Mary's death. But she was a young adult when her grandfather Joseph was still alive. And the last of Mary's children lived until 1964. Catherine's informant surely was one of Mary's own children. We can hope that at least one of them knew what her maiden name was. Advantage MAHON.
Color commentary: Shouldn't I have put this issue to bed by this point? I guess I could have. But I hated that loose end embodied in William's death certificate. If only I could get a piece of contemporary evidence, something from somebody in Mary's own generation. Like her husband? Wouldn't that be nice?
Fifth and final point: Contemporary evidence arrived on my doorstep just the other day in the form of Martin Haigney's Civil War pension file. In affidavits submitted to the federal Bureau of Pensions in 1898, Martin asserted that his wife's maiden name was Mary McMAHON. Ten years later, he submitted a similar affidavit saying Mary's maiden name was MAHON.
The winner: MAHON. Hurray! Let's tailgate. Do they tailgate at tennis matches?
Links, 9.13.10Posted: September 13, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love Leave a comment
At long last the Archaeologist's family experienced the first day of school, a mixture of excitement and trauma. Well, mostly trauma, to be honest. The scholars were not about to give up vacation without a fight. They clearly belong to the summer-loving half of our family's gene pool.
I belong to the other half, having been the sort of child who was trying on her school uniform a month before the first day (as my brother screamed, "MOM! Tell her to stop that!").
Here's my Back To School edition of links.
Postmarked: A lovely site called Philatelic Genealogy is compiling images of old postcards, letters and so forth. The material is indexed, and the site welcomes new material as well. h/t to Roxane Moore Saucier, Bangor Daily News.
Cautioned: This genealogy column out of Asheville, N.C. repeats what is becoming well-worn advice not to trust the Internet too far when it comes to genealogical information. However, I do like the author's brave observation that online trees can be a good jumping-off point for fledgling researchers — as long as they don't regurgitate them unthinkingly.
Merging?: In Scotland, three major records repositories have been asked to consider merging. They are the General Register Office for Scotland, National Archives of Scotland and Registers of Scotland. More here from The Herald (Scotland).
Classes, continued: Last week I mentioned the joy of online genealogy classes. Kimberly Powell draws our attention to more online classes at the FamilySearch.org site. And they are free!
Adoption issues: At the MyHeritage blog, they're kicking off a series of posts and exercises aimed at researchers tracing adoptions in the family tree. While I'm not sure I would sign up for MyHeritage just to do this, it might be a nice tutorial for those who already have an account there.
Bloggin' it: At MSNBC's Cosmic Log science blog, an interesting post about DNA and African roots … At GeneaBloggers, a call for new genealogy blogging theme ideas … At Slovak Yankee, Martin Hollick ponders the role of luck, good and bad, in research results, and poses the question: Which "lost" resources would you most wish to have back?
Now it's time to do the three zillion things I couldn't get to during summer vacation time. Off to the races …
NewsClips: Obituary, Raymond F. HaigneyPosted: September 10, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Haigneys, NewsClips Leave a comment
Today's NewsClip is the obituary of my paternal grandfather, Raymond F. Haigney. Raymond's sudden and early death from a heart attack removed him from the family picture well before I was born, and until just a few years ago I had not even seen a photo of him.
Coronary disease, sad to say, is a big factor in recent family history — my paternal grandmother also died of a heart attack, as did my father, Peter, at age 59. It being hard to ignore a pretty striking family medical pattern, I thought genealogy research might provide some insights. So I guess you could say that Raymond F. got me into genealogy.
Obituary: Raymond F. Haigney, 1940
Good Reads: 'This Republic of Suffering'Posted: September 8, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Cemeteries, Good Reads Leave a comment
There are shelves and shelves of Civil War histories, and Lord knows there's no shortage of riveting battle narratives and larger-than-life personalities to write about. But Drew Gilpin Faust, historian and lately Harvard's president, takes a novel tack by focusing on the inevitable outcome of all that: the unprecedented thousands of war dead.
In This Republic of Suffering: Death And The American Civil War, Faust explains how the Civil War changed our understanding of death and mourning as surely as it changed the generals' understanding of warfare. "We still live in the world of death the Civil War created," writes Faust. Measures we take for granted today — the notification of next of kin, registering of graves, armies taking responsibility for soldiers' decent burials — are really products of the Civil War. The carnage that occurred on an entirely new scale demanded entirely new systems for grappling with it.
In the chapter "Burying," Faust recounts the evolution of burial procedures on the battlefield, and the rituals, often hastily improvised, that soldiers enacted to provide a sense of ceremony in the absence of clergy and family. "Believing and Doubting" explores the wrenching challenge to faith posed by the ever-mounting tally of losses. A surging interest in spiritualism and an outpouring of tragic popular ballads were two typical signs of the times.
What really spurred lasting change was the massive scale of deaths, and their remoteness from loved ones who desperately wanted a body to bury and a gravesite where they could mourn. Undertakers did a booming business at the battlefields for families who could afford to have bodies located, embalmed and shipped homeward. Thousands more soldiers were buried in common graves, and more than 40 percent of Union dead remained anonymous at war's end. (The percentage was even higher for Confederate soldiers.)
The inability to account for fallen soldiers seems ridiculous to us today, but it was rather typical for its time — certainly the dead of the Mexican War fared no better. Still, by war's end, the yearning to name and account for the dead crystallized into a national movement to create official burying grounds for them — the beginnings of the national cemeteries of today.
Books like this are valuable to the family historian, illuminating social assumptions and customs that have faded from memory, and giving us greater understanding of the ways our ancestors grappled with grief during this time of incredible upheaval. If you have a Civil War soldier in your family tree, it's definitely worth a look.

It's the Labor Day edition of links!
Working it: This is a great day to review and consider resources that cover our ancestors' working lives. "Business, Institution and Organization Records" by Kay Haviland Freilich and Ann Carter Fleming is a good overview. (It's at Ancestry.com; subscription required.)
Immigrant stories: I'm sure there will be a lot of good stories out of this one: Ellis Island immigrant oral histories have gone online at Ancestry, part of a project begun in 1973 that encompasses 2,000 histories.
Start learning: It's fall. The kids are back in school — what about you? I'm thinking about genealogy courses, and here are two upcoming examples. In New Jersey, the State Library is accepting registrations for seminars, both real-time and online. Some are definitely of interest to genealogy researchers: "Finding Your Ancestors" and "Sanborn Maps". You can find the schedule by going to the link and clicking on the "Mid-Day Training" buttons at the right. If you're interested in Pennsylvania, there's a Crash Course in Pennsylvania Genealogy webinar coming up at the end of this month.
Illinois cemeteries: An update from the Illinois Farm Bureau a few days ago draws attention to a recent measure that apparently overhauls licensing and regulations for any cemetery that has money of any amount in a care fund (even tiny family burying grounds). I say "apparently" because the press release is not as clearly written as it could be — still, an interesting development.
Haunting: In Los Angeles, police work and genealogy are intersecting as investigators try to unravel the mystery of an old trunk containing the decades-old remains of two infants. The steamer trunk, found last month, had been abandoned in an apartment building's basement; the ownership has been traced to a Scottish immigrant born in 1897 who worked as a nurse in Los Angeles before moving to Vancouver, where she eventually died.
Blog world: The Chicago Genealogy blog highlights a benefit to erect a memorial for the McCoy brothers, influential Chicago musicians who died within months of each other in 1950 and are buried in unmarked graves. … At Ties That Bind, a poignant reflection on holding on to family treasures — and letting them go. …. Finally, while trying to figure out the history of Labor Day, I stumbled upon Paterson Fire Journal, which blogs all about the history of fires and firefighting in Paterson, NJ. Fascinating anecdotes and pictures.
Hope you're enjoying the holiday weekend — and here's to a great fall.

CustomInk helped me pick out the perfect bright red, and they did a great job touching up the artwork on the front and back of the shirts. Needless to say, they were a huge hit! We'll definitely be ordering from CustomInk again for this year's event."

Inside every office, there is a story about someone's life and their job.
Pam Berneking's Leawood, KS, office shows a wife, proud mother of two and a career at its pinnacle. Her path to the corner office at Alterra Bank started at an early age.
"I really have never worked anywhere but this industry so, when I was 16, I got my first banking job," she remembered.
That job turned into a love of the business. Right after college, she started working for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or FDIC as a bank examiner.
"It was a hard job. It required you to be comfortable facing challenges every week that were different because you were going from one place to another. It was just wonderful exposure to everything good and bad that could happen in a bank," she said.
The bad that could happen in a bank got a lot of attention a few years back during the recession. The public perception of bankers wasn't good. Feeling compelled to try and change that, Berneking joined together with a group to buy their own bank. They wanted it to be a strong community bank that would help both people and businesses. They named it Alterra, which means high ground.
"We [Alterra Bank] are all driven by this idea that bankers can do better, that we as an industry can make a difference, a positive difference and we do that by truly being a community bank," Berneking said.
Her ambition has served her well in the male-dominated field. With hard work and a strong work ethic, she has worked her way to CEO of the bank.
"I think one of the reasons why I've been successful is that I don't think much of gender bias. I'm not telling you that it doesn't exist - it undoubtedly does. And certainly if I sat here and thought about it, I could give you examples where I've experienced it. But, what has worked for me is that I've tried to build a career-based on merit," she said.
Berneking credits her mother and father with the encouragement to set her goals high.
"My parents are really special, encouraging people who early on instilled in me and my brother the idea that we both could do whatever we wanted to do," she said.
She also credits her work for helping to balance her family life.
"I was a better mom because I was working at something I loved to do. Not everybody has that privilege, not everybody can do that, but if you can do something 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. that you really love to do, when you come home at night, you're feeling good. You're energized," she said.
Berneking knew early on she liked banking. One of her most cherished items in her office is a symbol of her family and love for baking. It's a keepsake left by her grandmother after she passed away.
"This little bank was in her house. It has a nickel and a penny in it and a little note from her in her handwriting about 'when Pam was 8-years-old, I just bought this bank to drop coins into. When she saw it had no money in it, she went to her little purse and brought me six cents.' So I always say this was my first bank," Berneking said.
Alterra has two locations in Lee's Summit, MO, and Overland Park, KS.

DALLAS – A Texas resident has been diagnosed with meningitis, the first statewide case linked to a nationwide outbreak from tainted steroid injections.
The Texas Department of State Health Services said the patient is a woman who lives in Central Texas. Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zach Thompson said she was given the steroid injection at Dallas Back Pain Management, one of two medical facilities in the state that received the recalled drugs.
Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southlake was the other. The state's health department believes 131 patients were shot with the tainted steroids. Health professionals have contacted them and are conducting tests for meningitis, the state says.
Initially, Dallas Back Pain said it didn't inject any patients with the recalled drugs. It discovered Friday that wasn't the case. Texas Health Harris Methodist said it injected 114 patients, meaning 17 got the shots at Dallas Back Pain.
About 75 clinics in 23 states received a shipment of the steroids that have caused the outbreak of fungal meningitis. Framingham, Mass.-based New England Compounding Center has voluntarily stopped its production following the diagnoses. All of its products have been recalled.
Some of the steroids were infected with a fungus, the company said.
Yesterday, a representative for the Centers for Disease Control told the Associated Press that federal health officials had contacted 12,000 of the estimated 14,000 who were injected with the drugs in question.
Texas is the 12th state to report an illness from the outbreak. It joins Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia. So far, 14 people have died and 184 have been sickened by the steroids. Tennessee has had 50 cases, Michigan has 41 and Virginia has 33. Here's a map showing the national breakdown.
Thompson said the Texas patient is not being treated in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. Fungal meningitis cannot be spread from person to person, the state notes.

TORONTO (AP) -- Maxime Boutin led Laval to its record seventh Canadian university football title, running for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the Rouge et Or' 37-14 victory over McMaster on Friday night in the Vanier Cup.
Laval outscored McMaster 25-0 in the second half to snap the Marauders' CIS-record 21-game winning streak and avenge a 41-38 double-overtime loss to McMaster last year in the title game.
Boutin had an 84-yard scoring run in the third quarter, Tristan Grenon was 11 of 25 for 234 yards and a touchdown and the Rouge et Or had 605 yards of total offense in front of a Vanier Cup-record crowd of 37,098 at Rogers Centre.

Why are books and movies tagged pink or blue, like babies in a 1950s nursery?
"Equality is to sexual politics what the classless society is to Marxist theory: The hypothesis that solves the problem," observed Phyllis Rose in "Parallel Lives," her perceptive study of five Victorian marriages. In other words, gender parity was and is an elusive ideal.
How do we achieve that ideal when movies and books are tagged with blue or pink ribbons, like newborns in a 1950s nursery? How do we achieve it when the movies and books with the blue ribbons are greeted as "important" or "literary" and the ones with the pink posters and covers signal "fluff," even when they are about the same issues?

Just for the record, my grown daughter, an aspiring writer, agrees with the "devalued" premise and singled out the romance industry as one that gets no love. When I tried to explain why I thought that was the case, I got a "You are so f---ing wrong," the first time she's ever cursed at me like that. So don't ask why I thought that was the case. I'm zipping my lips.
Brian | April 4, 2012 10:46 AM
Why is this short piece split up into three pages? It would have all easily fit on one page.
Also, this is the first time I've heard "Gone with the Wind" described as a YA novel.
And what does it mean that "literature and movies by women are devalued at a time when the most profitable franchises in bookstores and at the multiplex are by women?" Doesn't that statement contradict itself? Devalued by whom? Certainly not by the readers and moviegoers, the ones who count the most.

Awesome but needs a slight redesign...
i bought these flashing hair clips for a big dance party. In my opinion they are too difficult to put on as a necklace and I had to rip the necklace off because the clasp on the necklace didn't fit through the ring attached to the actual pendant. Once I ripped the little metal ring off (thus removing the necklace) I loved this thing. I had the LED flashing rings and two of these hair clips on my dress (not in my hair). They looked awesome in the iPhone video's I saw (I'm a black shadow but my flashing jewelry is easy to see...fun. Highly recommend though a little pricey. My guests loved them but I didn't really have enough of them.

Transition to new HR administrative system set to begin
On February 17, after many months of planning, testing and training, the university's transition to a new Human Resources administrative system will begin. Over the next five days, HR PeopleSoft will be brought into production, beginning with processing for the first bi-weekly and casual payroll in March.
"It's important to recognize the tremendous amount of work that has gone into this project," says Caroline Davis, Vice-Principal (Finance and Administration). "We appreciate the significant complexity and challenges involved in this implementation, but we also know that, working together, we can see our way through to success."
The project has been brought to this phase thanks to the members of the HR and QUASR project teams, staffing officers, user acceptance testers and many other members of the Queen's community who have spent many hours in an effort to prepare for this launch.
The new system will provide improved access to information, better consistency across departments, a reduction in risks, and more effective compliance with policy and regulations. Over time, the university will be in a stronger position to deliver services and better able to manage human resources.
Many campus users have taken advantage of the extensive training opportunities that have been offered over the last several months, and will continue to make use of online tutorials, training guides and "how-to" job aids. More information about training and support can be found on the website.
For more information, visit the PeopleSoft tab on the HR website.

I like to spend evenings at museums and gallery openings, amazing restaurants, and music venues. There is so much history and culture here; it makes me proud to call myself a Bostonian."
Shanae Burch
Admission Counselor
"Forbes rates Boston as the third fittest city in America. Running along the Charles River has become one of my favorite things to do, and runners across the globe dream of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. You don't have to look hard to find free or inexpensive ways to get fit in this city. There are too many yoga, Zumba, Crossfit, and bootcamp classes or meetups to count!"

Plus, it's easy to take advantage of Boston's great public transit system, the "T," to get everywhere!"
Paul Mills

Mpath-tools 1.0.0 with Real-Time Monitor for Web
The Mpath-tools serve for redundant Internet connections of a site over multiple, heterogeneous ISPs. The currently released version 1.0.0 is enriched with a monitoring Web interface.
The Mpwww monitor uses Ajax and the HTML5 canvas element and shows performance data in real time. It pulls the data from mpathd, the Mpath daemon and core of the tools. Mpathd runs in the background to monitor the state of each connection and update the routing tables according to the current data and rules the administrator sets.
Performance measurements are set by Mping, the multipath-capable version of ping. The new release has IPv6 support for Mping, although not yet in multipath.
The user interface is the Mpath command line that connects to a local or remote mpathd to send commands. The command line has interactive and noninteractive modes.
The Math-tools have a small homepage with a tarball for version 1.0.0 for download under LGPL.

That latest screw-up by the cowboys in baltimore … standing around while 16 seconds ticks off the clock… THEN calling a time-out to kick a 51 yard field goal they miss… is just the latest and I flat out don't understand what the &$%%#@%^! Is going on with this team
How can this be? You have veteran receivers who basically walk back to the line of scrimmage - offensive lineman who move faster to lunch than they did here - and a quarterback who didn't appear to have a clue what to do.
Why wasn't Tony Romo at the line of scrimmage - screaming at everybody to line up so he could spike the ball… and instead he just stands there --- and a head coach who has a microphone in romo's helmet… and he was saying what?
I said this on the air the other night… there are high school teams in texas that would have run at least 2 plays in those final seconds.. . and most of 'em 3… and the cowboys run 1 play in the last 26 seconds. I BLAME EVERYBODY.
Now I did hear the other day that it was the short pass to Dez Bryant that was the real mistake - PLEASE!! You throw Bryant a short safe pass … he has a very good chance to pick up 5-6 yards…. And if he doesn't - you still have plenty of time for another play….. if we had the kids in Desoto running the plays … COWBOYS ??? NOT SO MUCH.
And now we start the tired rant of 'should Jason Garrett go??' come on - our esteemed owner has had 7 coaches in his 23 years -- 6 in the last 16…. And you really think jones hiring another coach is the answer to the cowboys problem - really?? I mean … really??
I don't know if garrett's the answer or not… pretty much anybody jones hires starts at the bottom of my wish list …. But you just can't keep firing coaches and hoping you stumble on the right one - where has that ever worked ?????
I do remember a losing coach the cowboys had…. Everybody wanted him fired too … but then the original owner gave Tom Landry a 10 year contract ---- and he was okay
The esteemed owner says this cowboys team… the 2012 cowboys team - the one we're watching right now - that team -- is a super bowl contender --- I think he's been hanging out with those tcu kids and smoking what they smoke
Too bad we can't suspend him.
