Ever since her debut as Joan Holloway, the tight-outfit-wearing office manager of the ad agency on TV's Mad Men, actress Christina Hendricks has had to get used to people paying attention to her hourglass figure -- and debating whether her bosom has been, um, surgically enhanced. Well, Hendricks, 36, has had enough, proclaiming in a recent interview with U.K. newspaper The Daily Mail: "It's so bizarre that people are constantly asking if my breasts are real or fake. They're so obviously real that anyone who's ever seen or touched a breast would know."
What's more, Hendricks is flabbergasted by the Mail's suggestion that her figure has inspired women to get breast enlargements. "I hope I'm not encouraging that."
It's a well-known fact that the actresses of Mad Men have been discouraged from dieting so that their bodies have the right 1960s look, fleshy and womanly. Both men and women seem to love Hendricks' curves, and Hendricks has learned to love them as well. She tells The Daily Mail: "If there's anything to be learned from me it's that I'm learning to celebrate what I was born with, even though it's sometimes been inconvenient. Having larger breasts has made it harder for me to shop throughout the years, but I've learnt to love it."
Hendricks, who started out as a model, says that the tough world of modeling was good preparation for her acting career to come. "I'd done ballet for years and was tiny then, a size 4, so I didn't have any problems about conforming to a certain body type. As you get older your body changes, and I've tried to embrace how I look at every stage," she says. "But I loved modeling... Modeling taught me how to be professional and responsible at a young age. Plus, you experience a lot of rejection and criticism, which is a great boot camp for Hollywood."
The biggest fan of Hendricks' curvaceous bod is actor Geoffrey Arend, to whom Christina has been married since 2009. Hendricks refers to him as "the best husband ever," and says, "He's just so old-fashioned and kind and dreamy." While there are no kids on the horizon for the couple just yet, Hendricks admits: "I probably need to think about that soon because I'm getting older, but I'm not letting that determine any decisions. I'm on this wonderful show with all these opportunities, so it seems crazy to jump out of it."

2012 BMW M5 Turns Into A Bullet via "High Performance Art" (video)
BMW has released a new video that features their 2012 BMW turning into bullet, which the company is calling since it goes beyond the simple premises and cinematography of most car advertisements. The world's fastest sedan recreates super slow-motion bullet footage on a much grander scale, making for a very interesting ad. The video portrays that the car has 553 horsepower under the hood without forcing it in your face. Instead, BMW allures to its powerful sedan and its horsepower by showing it car "shot" from a barrel and used to slash through an apple, water balloons, and a target.

By now Alfonso Cuaron's jaw-dropping "Gravity" has won a handful of Oscars (including a Best Director statue for Cuaron himself), appeared on everyone's top ten lists, grossed more than $700 million worldwide, and come out on video so all the cool kids who missed it in the theaters can watch it on their laptops and say, "I don't see what the big deal is." Still, it's the kind of cultural juggernaut that requires people to make hilarious YouTube mash-up videos, posting them online to make all of our days move incrementally faster.
The latest hilarious "Gravity"-inspired video imagines what would happen if Sandra Bullock's marooned astronaut got a little help in the form of a certain superhero... We don't want to ruin it for you because it is really funny, so just watch the clip below (via The Wrap). It's clever, it's funny, it's well put together... and it'll probably just make you want to watch "Gravity" again.

At one time known for their beauty, Colombian acid attacks victims now
live under reduced circumstances. Disfigured, disabled, these once proud
women are now often reduced to begging in the streets for their
livelihood. Even worse is the fact that these types of attacks are on
the rise in this South American country. At least 250 women have been
assaulted in such a manner here for the past three years.

Keywords: Acid attacks, Colombia, victims
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to recent figures, this year's acid-throwing victim reports already outpace last year's.
In countries such as Pakistan or Bangladesh, these attacks are far more prevalent. As many as 150 Pakistani women are attacked every day, according to the BBC.
In Colombia, whose population is nearly four times smaller than Pakistan's, the attacks are believed more prominent. Experts think there are far more victims out there than reported.
One such victim, 28-year-old Viviana Hernandez was attacked five years ago, leaving burn marks down her face, chest and hands. The acid attack took away the eyesight in her left eye.
"We know of many cases that were never reported because of threats, because of fear," 28-year-old acid victim Viviana Hernandez told the BBC. Hernandez thinks it was her former husband who carried out the attack after she refused to get back together with him.
Her former husband didn't throw the acid himself, she said, but hired the attackers. "The aim is to harm, not to kill. And to harm somebody for the rest of her life, she said.
Former beauty pageant contestant Maria Fernanda Nu�ez, who was 22-years-old at the time of her attack, says she was punished for her good looks. The former Miss Colombia contestant was brutally attacked near her home following a pageant's rehearsal with her parents in 2010.
Authorities could not perform an arrest due to a law that required Miss Nu�ez to spend a minimum of 30 days in recovery.
Nu�ez received burns to her face, eye, and parts of her chest and lower body, but had only 20 days in recovery with a doctor. Public outrage over the episode help lead to an increase in the maximum prison sentence available to attackers, which previously was only six months to two years in prison.
The law has since been emended to a maximum of 20 years with the attackers also required to provide the victims with protection and comprehensive care.
Consuelo Cordoba, who was attacked by her boyfriend 11 years ago - requiring her to wear a mask to prevent infection and a tube to breathe out of her nose - that care would be far from all she has now.
The 51-year-old Cordoba now walks a market in Bogota begging for change after being unable to find work due to her appearance.
"I've thought about committing suicide, yes sir, I've thought about taking my life three times. I say to myself, why live? With a life like the one I have, what for?" she told NPR.

Opinions of Fior d'Italia?
- s
- Steve Timko Apr 13, 2005 03:39 PM
I had a great meal at Fior d'Italia in 2000 with a former co-worker. I was looking it up again and see that it's been closed since February because of a fire. They don't expect to reopen until July now.
In researching posts on Chowhound, I see mostly negative reviews. Is that truly how the Chowhounders in San Francisco feel? It was a little old school Italian, but the food seemed great.
They have a tomato-based shrimp scampi prepared northern Italian style that's absolutely the best I've ever had. I've been looking for it elsewhere and it's all Silician-style scampi.
I havn't been there in a few decades as I was not impressed. I remember, about 15 years ago or so, a scathing review by Patricia Unterman in which she claimed that they served "spoiled" chicken - not badly prepared chicken, but chicken that was way beyond its expiration date.
I had one meal at Fior d'Italia in the fall of 2003 and enjoyed it very much. I didn't enjoy it enough to remember precisely what I had. It was a decent pasta of some sort and a really good salad. The standout for me was the bread.
I had a spectacular Lamb Tartare appetizer there one time, that I can't get out of my mind (about 15 years ago :-)). And I recall some excellent pasta on another visit, also eons ago. I think it was the "red-state" political stickers on the bar that put me off the place, but not the food...
Our office held a holiday dinner there 4 years ago which I thought was good, but haven't tried it for dinner since. BTW, there is a recent note on Gayot.com about rumors that the restaurant may not reopen after all.
re: SteveTimko
Thought it morphed into Joe DiMaggio's Chophouse... just opened.
re: Markb
We ate there at its new location in the San Remo Hotel.
The food is definitely very traditional Northern Italian food, with very Italian wait staff. We ordered the calamari basket, beef ravoli with meat sauce and the veal parmagania. Everything was 'not bad', not great, but not bad. The restaurant was full with lots of special occuassion celebratin going on around us.
The highlight was definitely the veal. Pounded very thin and fried to perfection, it was served very simply with a marinara and steamed broccoli. The calamari was okay for me, the bread coating was a thin thin dusting of flour, so after a few minutes the heat made them all the crust soggy or pretty much disappered. The ravolis' filling was dry. The beef inside seemed to be overcooked meat that was then shredded and used as filling.
The prices were a bit high, the calamari was $11, the ravoli was $14 and the veal $29. I think for traditional Italian, I would go to Contindina Trattoria on the corner of Mason and Union instead next time.
They are open for business on Mason near Francisco in the San Remo Hotel. It is an ok-- somewhat expensive for the quality--Italian restaurant with good old fashioned veal dishes

Under Our Branches
There's Security Under Our Branches.
A specially designed wall space in SAMC's Heart & Vascular Center lobby demanded an impressive piece of artwork. Sculptor Chris Ellis diagnosed the situation and found the perfect solution.
When Birmingham sculptor Chris Ellis was first approached about doing a large sculpture for SAMC's newest public lobby, he thought about the emotional connotations of the heart and how man seeks solace in times of pain.
He settled on a tree because it provides shelter, warmth and food, and also symbolizes life. Chris added what he calls a "mama bird" and her nest to the piece, because the Heart & Vascular lobby also serves the Women's Center.
The 14-by-13-foot tree, made of 16- and 18-gauge sheet metal, is impressive.
"It's massive," said Ellis, who was born at SAMC but grew up in Birmingham. "The wall it was built for has a lot of vertical space, so I worried about the wall dwarfing the piece. I was originally going for something more abstract, but I like that it is a tree and the bird is tied to new life. I really like the way it came out."
This is the largest piece Ellis has ever created. The piece consists of a large trunk and about two dozen leaves which he intricately positioned on the wall.
Ellis has been working with metal since 2000, favoring the medium because of its organic quality and the patina it forms. To obtain color he uses chemicals to rust the metal. He believes objects exposed to the elements from decades of use develop character. Nature and time are friends.
He especially likes using sheet metal because it is palpable. "You can twist and turn it around to get the different shapes. It's all raw metal which goes through a process to give it a vintage look."
Ellis used rubber car belts to get the curved shapes he wanted. Next, the tree was spray painted, sanded and chemically treated to achieve an aged effect. He then applied wood stain to enhance the aging appearance and unify the colors. The tree was clear coated with a satin enamel.
Other pieces by the artist hang in Birmingham's Brookwood Medical Center, the Matt Jones Gallery in Birmingham and the Rymer Gallery in Nashville. SAMC is proud to house this work of art by Chris Ellis.

A Side of Smiles
Food Services Ambassadors bring a personal touch to patient meals.
His knowledge of the Nutrition and Food Services department, big smile and easygoing manner, made Russell Walker the perfect choice to pilot a new concierge food services program at SAMC.
"We moved him from the tray line, so he was already assembling food for our patients," said Lesia Hollis, director of Nutrition and Food Services. "As it turns out, all the patients fell in love with Russell."
Walker was later joined by fellow team member Vonda Culver as food service Ambassadors on the orthopedic and neurospine floors. Wearing bright blue chef's shirts, Ambassadors enter each room with the goal of pleasing the patient. The widely successful program is now hospital wide, with 14 Ambassadors serving SAMC patients. Each Ambassador works a 12-hour shift and is responsible for all the meals on an assigned floor.
Ambassadors introduce themselves while delivering the morning breakfast tray and make sure the patient has everything they need. In some cases, that means a quick run down to the kitchen to retrieve hot sauce for eggs or a favorite barbecue sauce. The Ambassadors do everything they can to get the patient the food they want from set menus or from available options.
When Ambassadors return to the rooms to clear the trays, they use a bedside menu entry palm pad to order lunch. That procedure is repeated after lunch to order dinner and breakfast for the next day.
Ambassadors also stock all patient care areas throughout the hospital with beverages and snacks. Even those between-meal snacks have been expanded from juice, pudding and crackers to include boxed sandwiches and soup.
"The patients love it and the nurses love it," Walker said. "This program brings a personal touch to the bedside."
Ambassadors also order food trays for guests so they can remain at the bedside.
The personal touch bedside ordering has also reduced errors and complaints. Patients who may be hospitalized for several days get to know their Ambassadors.
Every action taken by Ambassadors – from knocking on the door and introducing themselves, to anticipating needs by providing condiments and giving a pleasant goodbye – is based on the Medical Center's Service Essentials, a set of behaviors which guides the actions of every employee.
"This is all about the patient," Hollis said. "They are here because something is wrong. They are sick and don't want to be here. The least we can do is exceed their expectations and enhance their experience at SAMC."
Woman to Woman
Two Southeast Alabama Medical Center OBGYNs believe some women choose a female doctor because of a higher comfort level.Years ago, when few women went into the medical profession, choosing to see a female obstetrician and gynecologist (OBGYN) was a rare option. Today with more women practicing as OBGYNs, that is no longer the case.
"Women who choose a female OBGYN are typically younger patients, such as adolescents and teenagers, and older women after menopause," said Stephanie Gibson, MD, who practices at Women's Medical Center in Dothan. "We also tend to see our share of women with a history of abuse; for them, it's a comfort factor. Also, women whose mothers saw a female OBGYN are more likely to do so." Ellen Doyle Phillips, MD, of Dothan OBGYN agrees. The American Medical Association reports that in 1970, just 7 percent of all practicing OBGYNs were women. By 2010, the percentage had risen to 48, the largest ever. Statistics also show that more women entering the medical field choose to practice Obstetrics and Gynecology.
For Dr. Gibson, becoming an OBGYN was something she set her mind to as a teenager attending Marianna High School in Florida. "I was about 15 years old when I decided this is what I wanted to do," said Dr. Gibson, who has delivered 227 babies since she joined the Dothan practice in August 2010. "My mom was a labor and delivery nurse in Panama City, Fla., and my dad was a paramedic, so I grew up around healthcare," she said. "I remember watching anatomy videos in high school and one Friday we watched the childbirth video – I was hooked."
That sealed the deal for Dr. Gibson, who practices with Drs. Walter Young, Hudson Lazenby, John Gordon, Praful Patel, Kenneth Farmer Jr., and Jonathan Scott at Women's Medical Center, on the 6th floor of the Doctors Building at SAMC. "One of the things I like best in our profession is the actual delivery. I love knowing I'm there to share in one of the happiest moment of a patient's life, with the delivery of her child. Sometimes I feel like part of the family." Dr. Gibson likes the idea of treating a patient's various needs throughout the stages of her lifetime. It adds to the connectivity of family. "It's a lifelong partnership between a woman and her gynecologist. The physician is there from the first exam through childbirth, menopause and hormonal changes. And there is a lot of variety in the patients and treatments," she said. She believes her most important role is as a patient's advisor and advocate. She enjoys taking time to listen to her patients, and working with them to determine the best course of care.
"Other than providing the highest quality care, listening is probably one of the most important things I can do for my patients," said Dr. Phillips, a partner with physicians Guy Middleton, MD and Thomas W.C. Robinson, MD at Dothan OBGYN on the 4th floor of the Doctors Building at SAMC. "Whether they need five minutes or one hour – if they need me, I'm there." The Eufaula native knows compassion counts. Her husband, Jay, a Dothan City firefighter, was on his second deployment to Kosovo with the U.S. Army National Guard, when the couple's youngest son, Jeff, required emergency open heart surgery. At the time, Dr. Phillips was a third-year resident working long hours at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. "For all practical purposes, I was a single parent with three kids. Jay was Special Forces. He had to go." Jeff was diagnosed with a heart condition at nine weeks old and went into surgery with 50-50 odds of surviving. Dr. Phillips prepared herself for the worst and prayed. Surgeons successfully repaired her infant son's heart. "That experience made me more empathetic," Dr. Phillips said. "It allows me to say 'I've been there.' to the patient whose baby has a heart defect. I know what it's like to be on that side." Dr. Phillips said treating her patients like family typically results in a partnership based upon trust and respect.
Dr. Phillips is a graduate of Auburn University, the University of Alabama School of Medicine and the Medical College of Georgia. For an appointment with Dr. Phillips, Middleton or Robinson at Dothan OBGYN, call 334-673-3633. All three physicians are skilled in minimally invasive robotic surgery.
Dr. Gibson is a graduate of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., and the University of South Alabama School of Medicine. She did her OBGYN residency at East Tennessee State University. For an appointment with Dr. Gibson, Young, Lazenby, Gordon, Patel, Farmer or Scott at Women's Medical Center PC, call 334-793-3900. All physicians in this group utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques, and most perform robotic surgery.
• In 2010, there were 985,375 physicians in the United States. Female physicians accounted for 30.1 percent of the total, up from 11.6 percent in 1980.
• The OBGYN specialty has the fifth highest number of physicians after internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics and anesthesiology.

18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.

Eheheh...Yes. Why is Haruhi related stuff assumed to be set after the time it was created? So confusing... especially when you take into account the SOS Brigade's computer. The newest one that the computer club had, when they took it. Look at the monitor. Apart from the disease being semi-treatable before Higurashi took place, that makes sense. The only flaw is that it's probably completely treatable by the time of K:BDH and would have to be for some time for Satoshi to have children. Not to mention that the symptoms would have to escape everyone's attention. Err... and there's a vaccine against it. Apparently.

Wow that makes a ton of sense Specular. Nice theory.
Unclouded TJ: Taking Bunny-Ears Lawyer too literally.
@Rainy Daze: I agree, there should be a treatment at that time, but not a vaccine. They are very different things. I miss a important info, how much older is Kyon's cousin than he?

Eheheh...The information appears to be primarily from the visual novels.
(like any other vaccine, it proved to be useless for those who already had the Syndrome, such as Takano Miyo who succumbed to LV 5 near the end of Matsuribayashi-hen, since she did visit Hinamizawa a few times before C-117 was developed).That's on the Hinamizawa Syndrome page, though. Still have to wonder how everyone missed the instability associated with Level 3.
edited 26th Feb '11 10:38:05 AM by RainyDaze
Occam's Razor. She could be absent for a while from Hinamizawa and returned because of the festival. That's the reason why her age is important. EDIT: How about a Boarding School? Hinamizawa is a very small town after all.

Eheheh...Getting too far away from Rika wouldn't be good for her mental health, either. Possibly. And I think you mean Hanlon's Razor. And then she came back... presumably after quite a lot of stress, otherwise things would probably have stayed at level one or two and not gotten to four... That * or university.
edited 26th Feb '11 11:00:32 AM by RainyDaze
Another possibility: She was infected with the C-120 on purpose. In that case the sickness progresses very quickly and gives the theory a simple cause: Vengeance. Takano or maybe some other person from "Tokyo" (I believe that was the name of the secret organization who financed the investigation) wanted revenge from Sonozaki family.

1360 Rainy Daze, Sat, 26th Feb '11 11:18:19 AM from UK
Eheheh...I'd expect Takano to be locked away somewhere, since she's both mad and a criminal. As for Tokyo... that doesn't seem like very good revenge. Too much chance of it not having the desired effect.
Sorry for the wait. All I could find about what happened to Takano after Matsuribayashi-hen was this bit in Higurashi's trope page (Karma Houdini entry):
The last episode of Kai hints that the scapegoat plan might fail because Okonogi lets Takano live, and Tomitake intervenes by arranging her to receive treatment instead of being transported to Tokyo. It is still likely that the faction escapes, leaving Nomura as the new scapegoat. It is also likely that Takano was successfully made the scapegoat in all the previous cycles.
In other topic: Are Haruhi and Kyon going to disappear together into "the safe-mode world" on a regular basis for some minutes at a time because of their "regular checkups"? I'm sure that that will not be misconstrued, If You Know What I Mean.

Eheheh...The only other person I can name that reached stage 5 and got treatment is Satoshi. Considering what that entails... I get a feeling that Takano, if she's still alive and has recovered from... well, everything * would still come back to Hinamizawa, no matter people's opinions on her. Unless Kyon's a sadist and wants to overload Haruhi with months' worth of memories whenever anything goes wrong, I'd guess so.
edited 26th Feb '11 1:38:43 PM by RainyDaze
The "interdiction field" excuse doesn't have wildcard potential. Doing it during nighttime would avoid the questions from almost everyone (including Haruhi), except probably Koizumi's Organization. Now that I think about, Mori must be building a very interesting mental image of Kyon.

1364 Rainy Daze, Sat, 26th Feb '11 2:04:33 PM from UK
Eheheh...Well, he'll find a new excuse as necessary. To be honest, being alone with Haruhi is enough - she doesn't seem to remember whatever happens. Her picture isn't entirely inaccurate... he just hasn't done what she thinks... yet. Probably. Is it strange that I can't bring myself to dislike Miyo?

O' Allah, save Egyptsafe-mode!Haruhi was talking about Kyon being immune to her mind-reading, not Keiichi. And about the Hinamizawa Syndrome... Who's to say that Kyon's cousin had not contracted a mutated strain of the Syndrome? And wasn't their speculation that the Syndrome is actually caused by "parasitic data-entities", and the "maggots" are their physical manifestation?

Eheheh...The maggots were Rena's hallucination. The actual agent was most likely bacterial or viral or something - there's a vaccine, which the photo guy was taking, and a 'cure' which treats some of the effects of the later stages. And that was Miyo's speculation in one chapter. #34, which is probably the closest to the one she believed - that it was a normal illness.

Eheheh...The only 'supernatural' element Kyon and Keichii share is probably level 1/2 Hinamizawa Syndrome. Unless Kyon is somehow descended from Hanyuu, there doesn't appear to be anything else in his background which could explain the way no-one can read his mind. I'm not sure how she'd get from Kyon, in Nishinomiya, in the present, to Tokyo nearly thirty years previously on the other side of the country. Plus Kyon wasn't alive then, so it's rather unlikely that Miyuki will pay much attention to what Miyo did - if it's even recorded anywhere. Edited the WMG page but I couldn't work out how to condense Specular's theory. So... I left a placeholder, added to the previous theory I'd put there, and added another one.

O' Allah, save EgyptBut if Kyon is a carrier the Hinamizawa Syndrome pathogen, then how can we explain why it hadn't "awakened" to Levels 3 or above during the times of extreme duress that he had faced "recently" i.e.?

1374 Rainy Daze, Sun, 27th Feb '11 10:14:04 AM from UK
Eheheh...Extreme luck? Or maybe just an innate resistance to the disease that would take something truly ridiculous to overcome. Come to think of it, Kyon was far more agitated than normal in Disappearance... So... if he hadn't stopped Tsuruya falling out of the window, I guess things might have gone downhill. But the Power of Friendship has been shown to be enough to overcome even Level 5. Last episode before Kai, for instance. Oh, and I edited the Tattooed Crook WMG a bit. I think even Haruhi would consider a full tattoo excessive. A finished, smaller one is intimidating enough, after all. And easier to hide.

1375 Silver, Sun, 27th Feb '11 6:38:42 PM from under a sandstone rock
If Kyon was a carrier for Hinamizawa syndrome, the Higurashi crowd would not let him out of the village for his and others' safety, and they would have forced this fact into Kyon's mother's head at any cost. Not without constant medical and psychological examinations to make sure he's not at risk, anyway. They nearly lost everything thanks to the syndrome, averted only thanks to the ability to die hundreds of times over, and you can be certain they're not going to let the syndrome run rampant in their family again.

Britain ending financial aid to emerging power India
REUTERS - Britain will stop giving financial aid to India by 2015, the government said on Friday, marking a shift in ties between the one-time imperial power and its fast-growing former colony.
The move follows anger at handouts to an economy which is Asia's third largest and has a space program, at a time of spending cuts and economic gloom in the United Kingdom.
"It's time to recognise India's changing place in the world," International Development Secretary Justine Greening said in a statement that estimated savings of GBP 200 million by 2015.
Existing programs will be completed by that date and Britain will make no new cash commitments.
India became independent from British rule in 1947. It is now the third largest investor in Britain and its companies own flagship brands including Jaguar Land Rover.
Despite India's rapid economic development over the past decade it suffers deep pockets of severe malnutrition and extreme poverty.
The move is unlikely to anger the Indian government, whose former finance minister described Britain's aid contribution to India as a 'peanut.' In 2011, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced a $5 billion aid credit line for Africa.
Controversy over the aid program flared after former International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said last year the GBP 280 million annual assistance was partly about "seeking to sell the Typhoon."
India later entered into exclusive negotiations with France's Rafale fighter, rejecting the British-backed plane for an estimated $15 billion contract.

What Brawley info is listed in the bible? Does it get into the boys from Ireland, PA, VA, NC, KY, TN, IL, MO? I have heard that there was @ 6 brothers in Ireland, and that 5 came to America, Wiliam, John, James, Hugh, with Neil following later? Also heard that 3 came to America, William, John and Hugh? My Brawley family started out in Edinburg/Glasgow, Scotland, to Londonderry County, Ulster, Ireland, to PA, VA, NC, KY, TN, IL, ending up in Ripley/Shannon/Reynolds County, Missouri. I know that some ended up in TX, OK, GA, & AL. I have been researching this family for years and have a lot of info on the Brawley family, back to 1780 in NC, and have found them all to be related when you get back far enough. Also have found them with several spellings, OBrallachan, OBraly, OBrally, OBrawley, Braly, Brally, Braley, Bralley, Brawley, Brolly, Briley, and even Bradley! My problem is before and just after they got to America, trying to connect them to their fathers, because they all had the same names for 300 years! It is so hard to connect them together. I would appreciate any info you can give me about this family. My husband is John, s/o Paul, s/o Thomas Larkin, s/o Joseph, s/o John Braly & Easter Dickey of Rowan/Iredell County, NC.

Lone Star College on Lockdown After Multiple Stabbings Reported [BREAKING]
Just months after a school shooting led to the North Harris campus evacuation, Lone Star College was struck with another violent tragedy on Tuesday morning.
KHOU reports that at least 14 people were injured on the Cy-Fair campus after witnesses said two males were running down the hallway in the Health and Sciences Center, stabbing students at random. Four victims were taken to Memorial Herrman Hospital with critical injuries, six students are at North Cypress Medical Center and the rest were rushed to the Texas Medical Center hospitals.
The incident was reported around 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday (April 9) via Lone Star College's Twitter account:
LOCKDOWN at LSC-CyFair. Seek shelter now. If away, stay away. Updates to follow.
The official Twitter account also posted that the Harris County Sheriff's Department is on the scene and has one suspect in custody, with another on the loose. The school also tweeted that the CyFair campus will be closed for the rest of the day, while the Fairbanks Center remains open.
KHOU will continue to provide updates to this breaking story.

Spartanburg, SC - AFL announces that Spartanburg Methodist College (SMC) is the recipient of a $2,500 Fujikura Foundation grant to support its Campus Service program. Through Campus Service, SMC provides two college students to assist at Carver Junior High School with the AVID program which pulls students out of unchallenging course and places them on the college track.
"Among the leaders of the Upstate area, and the State of South Carolina, one of the main concerns is that we all need to come together to raise the number of college-educated persons in our state," said Mr. Donald Tate, Director of Development for SMC. "As we develop a successful track record at Carver Junior High School, support to this program is crucial. We appreciate the donation by the Fujikura Foundation and look forward to having a positive impact on the lives of students in our area."
Carver Junior High is the first school in the Upstate of South Carolina to implement this program which is being used in 3,800 schools in 45 states, Washington, DC, and 15 countries with over 200,000 students enrolled in the AVID elective. The primary purpose of the AVID program is to increase the college-going rate for students from low-income and minority families.
"AFL is excited to have the opportunity to support SMC and the AVID program here in the Upstate," stated Corie Culp, Community Relations Manager for AFL. "We are committed to improving education and success rates in the state of South Carolina and believe we have an impact serving SMC's efforts."
The mission of Spartanburg Methodist College is to develop the worth and abilities of each individual through programs relevant to academic and personal needs. This program offers students the option of transferring to a four-year college or university for continued study or entering a career after graduation.
