FINANCIAL services group British American has made a 265 per cent jump in profit after reporting Sh2.8 billion pretax profit for last year compared to the Sh1.7 billion loss in 2011.
Britam's financial report for the year ended December 2012 shows that the group's total income almost tripled from Sh3.4 billion in 2011 to Sh11.7 billion last year boosted by sharp increase in investment income.

Britam holding company has subsidiaries that operate in the insurance, property and asset management business and has also bought a stake in Equity Bank and Housing Finance companies. The insurance business had the highest profit before tax of Sh1.5 billion compared to Sh1.1 it recorded in 2011.
Through its subsidiaries, it has operations in Uganda, Kenya and plans to open in Rwanda before the end of the year according to group managing director Benson Wairegi.
The value of assets managed by Britam's asset management firm grew from Sh20.4 billion in 2011 to Sh28 billion.Revenue from asset management grew by 58 per cent from Sh238 million to Sh377 million recorded in 2012.
Revenue from its general insurance business grew by 36 per cent from Sh2.1 billion to Sh2.9 billion. In its assets portfolio, Britam invested 20 per cent of its funds in fixed income, 31 per cent in equities, 5 per cent in property and 20 per cent in other unnamed assets.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out....today is the first day of public school here, and it occurred to me that I might want to try to get in compliance with homeschool laws now that my oldest is kindergarten age! The GA law states that compulsory education is between the ages of 6 and 16, and that you must notify the state within 30 days of starting a home education program. Well...my DD won't be six until May, and 30 days from that, school would be out anyway. So do I notify them this year, or next?
Also, we are required to keep attendance records in GA. (The law requires 180 days with 4.5 hours of instruction per day.) How do you guys do this as unschoolers? Just put a check mark next to every day until you get 180??
I am clueless about reporting requirements in GA (or any other state), sorry.
But you might want to post this in the Learning at Home and Beyond main forum instead.
It should be seen by more members there and maybe someone who has an answer for you.
Not in GA but thought this might help http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp?State=GA

Hi All,
I am interested in trying to preserve some of my dahlia flowers this year. I plan to use silica gel. Has anyone had any success with dahlias? any tips on drying them? Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Yep, and this is what I have done so far. I placed some between thick paper towels then heavy books. They molded. Now I have some between paper towels and plates. They spent time in the microwave. I have done this for several minutes, but the dahlia's along with the other flowers that I did just don't seem dry. I am afraid of over doing it, so I am just going to keep them between the plates for a few days to see. Up til now, the best results for me have been by using the cornmeal/borax mixture. Yes the leaves have a powdery look to them, but the peachy colored zinnia's came out so beautiful. The color darkened a bit, but they are stunning. Now the leaves on these were a bit thicker than the leaves on my dinner plate dahlia's. Those have not done with with this method at all. I am going to try putting them in the borax/cornmeal and then microwaving for a few minutes and then them sit for a week to see what happens. This worked on some Hosta flowers that I did, so I am hoping... Chey |
Hi All I attemted two methods the first one was using silica gel and allowing the flowers to sit in the silica gel for 7 days. The flowers came our fantastic, They looked like they were still new. The second method was using the quick dry silica gel method in the microwave. These I did not like as the flowers came out looking pockmarked from the gel. I guess I have to wait until next year to try some more dahlias as we had a freeze on Thursday. |

Roses Unlimited is one of my favorite places from which to order roses--healthy, well-growing roses as can be seen from your pictures. Kate |
Wow! Your rose plants look beautiful and healthy. I highly recommend Roses Unlimited. I have placed 3-4 orders with RU over the past few years. I like purchasing roses from them during their summer sale because USPS shipping costs to the West Coast are high. The summer sale makes RU roses more affordable to me. In the past, I also procured roses from my all-time favorite, EuroDesert Roses, which is no longer in business. It is amazing how quickly EuroDesert Roses caught up with the RU roses. :) EuroDesert roses are available through Heirloom Roses now. Congratulations on your roses. I am sure that they will provide you with years of beauty and joy! |

Pentagon Scolds Officials for Violating Tripp Privacy
July 7, 2008 - 7:02 PM
The Pentagon (CNSNews.com) - Defense Secretary William Cohen Thursday expressed "disappointment" in two senior Pentagon officials who provided confidential information to a reporter from the personnel file of Linda Tripp during the height of an investigation that led to the impeachment of President Clinton.
Pentagon spokesman Kenneth H Bacon and his chief assistant, Clifford H Bernath, violated the Privacy Act by releasing information from Tripp's personnel file to a reporter in 1998, the Pentagon's inspector general said in a report released Thursday.
Responding to the IG's findings, Cohen sent letters to both officials "to express my disappointment."
Cohen called "hasty and ill-considered" their decision to release to a reporter from The New Yorker information from Tripp's security file "without consulting with counsel or fully weighing the public and private interests involved."
"[T]he failure to follow established procedures must be considered a serious lapse in judgment," Cohen said.
Cohen added, however, that the officials' action "was a departure from the very high quality of performance that you have otherwise exhibited and that I fully expect and anticipate that you will continue to exhibit in the future."
The Justice Department already has reviewed the Pentagon inspector general's report and declined to prosecute.
Thursday's action stemmed from the Monica Lewinsky scandal in March 1998, when a reporter learned that Tripp, a Defense Department employee and a confidant of Lewinsky, had been arrested at age 19. The reporter obtained the public arrest record and called Bacon to find out whether Tripp had reported the arrest on her security clearance application.
Bernath located the security clearance application and verified that Tripp had not revealed her arrest, then, with Bacon's concurrence, provided that information to the reporter.
Cohen Considers Matter Closed
Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral Craig Quigley told reporters Cohen will take no further action against the two men.
"The secretary thought about this carefully, and with the delivery of these letters to both men today, he considers the matter closed," he said.
Investigators concluded that neither official was influenced by anyone on the White House staff - or any other outside influence - to release the negative information on Tripp, whose secret recordings of conversations with Lewinsky led to the impeachment of the president in the House of Representatives. Tripp later was charged with violating state wiretap laws, but those charges were dismissed on Wednesday by a Maryland prosecutor.
Tripp is working as a public affairs employee for the Defense Manpower Data Center in Washington, DC.
Bacon, who normally conducts news briefings at the Pentagon, chose not to conduct Thursday's briefing because he knew the subject of the IG report would come up, Quigley said.
In a written statement, Bacon said he believed that ultimately his conduct would be found lawful.
"My response to a reporter's inquiry raised a complex and important question about the balance between the goal of open government, as expressed in the Freedom of Information Act, and the goal of protecting some personnel records from disclosure, as expressed in the Privacy Act," he said. In this case, "the balance weighed in favor of responding to a specific question involving a public arrest record [Tripp's]," he said.
Inhofe Pledges He Will Hold Hearings on Matter
In a reaction from Capitol Hill, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) said Cohen's letter to the two men was "another Clinton administration whitewash and cover-up."
"This sends a signal to millions of federal civilian and military employees that their private government records can be made public for political purposes and no one will be held accountable. Bacon and Bernath should have been prosecuted and sent to jail for violating the confidentiality of private government personnel records," he said.
Inhofe said he plans to hold hearings on the matter in the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness.

NBA.com Game Preview | Raptors Game Notes | Nets Game Notes
Series: Nets 1-0
Game 1 between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors had it all: An incredible home crowd, a rough playoff debut for Raptors All-Star DeMar DeRozan and late-game heroics from future Hall-of-Famer Paul Pierce.
Let's not forget the pregame pump up talk from general manager Masai Ujiri that sent shockwaves around the NBA, or the crowd of greater than 5,000 that stood outside of the arena to watch the game at Maple Leaf Square.
With DeRozan, Terence Ross and Amir Johnson all struggling, the Raptors succumbed to the veteran savvy of the Nets down the stretch. Thanks to two days off in between games, Toronto hopes to have had enough time to shake off the first-time nerves before Game 2 tips off Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre.
What To Watch
Raptors looking to get DeRozan going early: After scoring 14 points on 3-for-13 shooting in Game 1, Toronto knows it needs to get its leading scorer off to a better start in Game 2. DeRozan will need to find the balance between attacking and facilitating for his teammates when the Nets key in on him defensively.
Jonas Valanciunas against Kevin Garnett: The play of Valanciunas was the one overwhelmingly positive sign for the Raptors in their Game 1 loss. Scoring 17 points and grabbing a Raptors franchise playoff-record 18 rebounds, Valanciunas came up big in his first postseason game, and Brooklyn didn't have an answer for him. With Valanciunas growing more confident over the past month, expect Toronto to look for him often in Game 2.
Terrence Ross staying on the floor: Limited to just 16 minutes on Saturday because of foul trouble, the sophomore swingman is hoping to defend with his feet more than his hands in Game 2. Unable to get into any kind of rhythm in limited minutes, Ross spent the two days in between games watching film and having the coaching staff stress the importance of defensive rotations. Getting to the right spot at the right time will reduce the potential for picking up ticky-tack fouls.
Guarding the 3-point line: Going into this series, defending the three-point line was a point of emphasis for the Raptors. In Game 1, despite their victory, the Nets finished 4-for-24 from beyond the arc. Brooklyn's bench was a combined 0-for-12 from beyond the arc. It seems unlikely that this will continue in Game 2, but the Raptors needs to do their best to limit the Nets from outside.
"More opportunities we had to score and we didn't. We shot 39 percent. Some of the shots we normally make, we missed. They were playing aggressive defence, they were in us, it was physical and we still got some good looks and we've got to make those. The other thing that surprised me are our turnovers. Our turnovers were dribble off our foot, one dribble off our foot. Some things we don't normally do. Passing to a guy that's not looking at you. Those things let me know we were a little anxious, which is good. It means they care, it wasn't from a lack of hustle, hard play or anything like that. Just anxious probably is the word." – Raptors head coach Dwane Casey on what surprised him after watching film from Game 1
"You know what, to me, it's fun. I'm an underdog guy, so I've got to prove myself every day. I wake up with a 220,000-pound thing on my shoulder, so I've got to be able to find a way to walk and get to my job. It's fun when you face Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, KG. I mean, I grew up watching those guys, especially Paul Pierce. Now I got a chance to beat 'em? To me, I can't ask for anything better than that. It's fun. It's a basketball game, man, at the end of the day we've all got two hands. We all can shoot. We've got one of the best point guards, too. I'll take our chances, man." – Greivis Vasquez on facing off against future HOFers on the Nets roster
"I understand they're going to come out no matter what play we run, they're going to come out tough on me, try to take me out of the game. I just have to realize that, try to do other things than I normally do. Get easy buckets, instead of trying to go out there and settle for jump shots early. Just start off easy, get a couple of easy buckets and go from there." – DeMar DeRozan on his offensive approach for Game 2

Epigenetic regulation of PPARGC1A in human type 2 diabetic islets and effect on insulin secretion

Insulin secretion in pancreatic islets is dependent upon mitochondrial function and production of ATP. The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (protein PGC-1α; gene PPARGC1A) is a master regulator of mitochondrial genes and its expression is decreased and related to impaired oxidative phosphorylation in muscle from patients with type 2 diabetes. Whether it plays a similar role in human pancreatic islets is not known. We therefore investigated if PPARGC1A expression is altered in islets from patients with type 2 diabetes and whether this expression is influenced by genetic (PPARGC1A Gly482Ser polymorphism) and epigenetic (DNA methylation) factors. We also tested if experimental downregulation of PPARGC1A expression in human islets influenced insulin secretion.
The PPARGC1A Gly482Ser polymorphism was genotyped in human pancreatic islets from 48 non-diabetic and 12 type 2 diabetic multi-organ donors and related to PPARGC1A mRNA expression. DNA methylation of the PPARGC1A promoter was analysed in pancreatic islets from ten type 2 diabetic and nine control donors. Isolated human islets were transfected with PPARGC1A silencing RNA (siRNA).
PPARGC1A mRNA expression was reduced by 90% (p < 0.005) and correlated with the reduction in insulin secretion in islets from patients with type 2 diabetes. After downregulation of PPARGC1A expression in human islets by siRNA, insulin secretion was reduced by 41% (p ≤ 0. 01). We were able to ascribe reduced PPARGC1A expression in islets to both genetic and epigenetic factors, i.e. a common PPARGC1A Gly482Ser polymorphism was associated with reduced PPARGC1A mRNA expression (p < 0.00005) and reduced insulin secretion (p < 0.05). In support of an epigenetic influence, the PPARGC1A gene promoter showed a twofold increase in DNA methylation in diabetic islets compared with non-diabetic islets (p < 0.04).
We have shown for the first time that PPARGC1A might be important in human islet insulin secretion and that expression of PPARGC1A in human islets can be regulated by both genetic and epigenetic factors.

National 26 January 2015
Australians celebrate their national day – Australia Day – with fun in the sun. It is a designated public holiday with hundreds of small and large events taking place across the nation. In Sydney, thousands of people gather along Sydney Harbour foreshore for the celebrations on the water. In towns and cities there are community breakfasts, beach parties, corroborees and concerts, parades and pageants, sporting events, cultural and historic exhibitions and fireworks displays. Citizenship ceremonies are held to welcome new residents. It's a day for Australians to celebrate everything that's great about being Australian. There's no better time to visit to meet Australians and see the country at its most relaxed.
National February
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar, and is celebrated around Australia in recognition of Australia's long Chinese cultural heritage. Many Chinese-Australian families reunite to celebrate Chinese New Year in Australia and welcome the year in with good fortune and prosperity. Firecrackers, lanterns and silk dragons are in abundance; while dedicated Chinatowns in Australian cities provide a hub for fine feasts. The Great Dragon appears at the Chinese New Year celebrations in the streets of Melbourne. In Sydney, festivities last three weeks and include a Grand Parade, Dragon Boat races and night markets.

"Very pleased with our purchases and the service and have recommended you to our friends. Very quick delivery and well packed."
Sarah Philip, Sun 15th May '11
"Although I have not used my Pizza dome yet as we are waiting for a weekend when all the family can get together, I was very pleased with how quickly my order was processed, and it was delivered exactly when you said it was going to be. Also it is very reassuring to know that as soon as you order something the company doesn't disappear, you have sent me emails all they way and beyond my purchase. If I see something else out of the ordinary that will entertain my family and feed them at the same time I will not hesitate to order it from Drinkstuff."
Wendy French, Sat 14th May '11
"Fast delivery, item as described."
Bigsmile, Sat 14th May '11
"Good price, good delivery."
D Quin, Thu 12th May '11
"I bought 96 glasses believing that the maximum three day time taken for standard dispatch meant if I ordered on Monday evening, I'd receive by close of play on Thursday. However it transpires that that is only the time they go to the courier. With the help of two bank holidays they finally arrived the following Tuesday, by which time we'd all gone to work. When finally received there was one champagne flute missing, though on reporting it we were told it would be replaced without question - just hope that won't be so much of a problem as the original delivery!"
drinkstuff says: We're sorry that you had these issues with your order Charles. Unfortunately the estimated delivery period fell during the bank holiday period so our 3 working day delivery did mean delivery on the Tuesday. We do make sure to note non-delivery days (due to bank holidays etc) on our website at the time of ordering so customers are aware of exactly when their parcel will arrive.

"Unfortunately a mistake was made in my order and it was missed by two people who signed it off. I ordered 1 pack of 4 pineapple cups, 1 pineapple cups turned up. I emailed my complaint to customer services but heard nothing (I did take the bank holidays into consideration). I rang customers services and spoke to a lovely lady who apologised and sorted it out and I received my other cups very quickly. To be honest it won't put me off using you again but I had wanted to use them for the weekend and wasn't able to."

"I recently made an order for 6 pint glasses. One of them arrived broken, in my opinion they were not packed with enough bubble wrap, to me this is a basic mistake that should have been avoided. I must add however that the follow up by your company has been very good with a new glass being despatched in a good time scale. In conclusion, well done to the complaints department but a not so well done by the originally packers."

The Old Sugar Distillery produces small-batch liquors made from Midwestern ingredients. Its cornerstone concoction, the Old Sugar Factory Honey Liqueur, is distilled from dark-brown beet sugar and then aged in a wooden womb of American oak before being subtly sweetened with pure Wisconsin honey. The Cane and Abe Freshwater Rum, named in honor of President Lincoln and his favorite criminal-scaring stick, is made with cane sugar lovingly beamed up from the saccharine states of Hawaii and Louisiana and then aged in charred American oak barrels. These luscious liquids can be sampled either by sipping a freshly made cocktail ($6) at the distillery's long wooden bar, or by buying a bottle ($30) for midnight sips in the dead chill of winter. The Old Sugar Distillery also offers free tours and tastings with up-close views of the large copper pot still.
Travelers follow Jo Daviess County's sprawling fields and undulating hills toward Massbach Ridge Winery?s 18+ acre estate. Founded by the Harmston family in 2003, the winery?s proprietors grow the grapes to concoct their batches of reds and whites. Members of the winery family escort guests on impromptu tours before rendezvousing in the tasting room or on the patio for samplings. The outdoor patio grants a heightened view of the vineyards below, which visitors can wander through on quests for vine-ripe copies of The Grapes of Wrath. In addition to its frequent tastings and tour sessions, Massbach Ridge Winery hosts a number of wine-related events each year.
Flatlander's pampers malt-pining palates by balancing a seasonal lineup of more than seven house-made brews with a diverse menu ranging from classic pub fare to gourmet entrees. Beer flights guide diners through five distillations and the on-site brewmaster ensures appetizers highlight each brews best qualities, matching seared asian ahi to the crispness of the Jackson Wit and spicy jumbo wings to the Flatlander IPA's training as a firefighter. Thick cuts of homestyle meatloaf and crispy morsels of fish and chips embody the roles of classic pub fare, subtly supported by gourmet-inspired castmates such as linguine pomodoro and USDA-prime center-cut filet mignon. An arsenal of 13 hearty burgers accessorized with toppings such as pulled pork, guacamole, or fried onions gratify any diet while bookended around a choice of USDA-prime chuck, ground turkey, veggie, or peppermint patties.
Naturally, the chefs at Cooper's Hawk have a sharp eye when it comes to wine pairings. Each of the restaurant's contemporary dishes is crafted with a particular wine in mind, which makes plenty of sense given the fact that there's a winery located just next door. Surrounded by oaken barrels and racks lined with glistening bottles, diners may be forgiven for thinking that they made a wrong turn and ended up in the winery itself. After your meal, see the real thing in the Napa–style tasting room, where you can sample up to eight different wines. The selection includes something for everyone, including graceful blush wines and cabernets whose flavors unfold like a novel scribbled on the wings of an origami crane.
When he wasn't piloting a plane, Toby Beall spent time with his bare feet in the Caribbean sand and a cocktail mellowing in his hand. Looking to share that laid-back lifestyle, Beall, his wife Jillian and brother Jamey founded Tailwinds Distilling Company. Today, the Plainfield-based specialists blend premium ingredients such as organic molasses and 100% blue agave, and carefully age them in french-oak barrels to create their tropically-inspired amber rum. After the signature, small-batch distilling process—which avoids the use of carbon filters so as to leave the flavors intact—each bottle is individually signed. That attention to detail hasn't gone unnoticed: their Taildragger white rum earned a silver medal at the 2012 Ministry of Rum Tasting Competition, and their 100% blue agave spirit was featured in Chicago Magazine's Holiday 2012 Gift Guide: For Imbibers.
Visitors can take a jetlag-free trip to the tropics during tours of the facility, learning about distillation and sampling sips in a tiki-bar-themed tasting room. Merchandise such as T-shirts, snifters, and flasks provide more lasting souvenirs than the imaginary tan the island vibe might inspire.
An extension of Minhas Craft Brewery, Minhas Micro Distillery's heritage of handcrafting fine spirits dates back to 1845. Today, the facility produces vodka, rum, Irish cream, horchata, and rye whiskey. Guests can visit the tour center and take home with them the latest clothing, glassware, and collectibles.

[Law Technology Today] Quick Tip: Ditch the Laptop Bag
Stand on a crowded train platform in any major city and you won't have much trouble spotting the people carrying laptops.

Unfortunately, these conspicuous containers are beacons for thieves, declaring that the owner has something worth...

[Avoid a Claim] Administrative dismissals: Don't be caught standing when the music stops
This article by Nora Rock (corporate writer and policy analyst at LAWPRO) originally appeared in the August 31 issue of The Lawyers Weekly published by LexisNexis Canada Inc.
Like fossil fuels and the saber toothed-tiger, judicial patience is a non-renewable resource. We at LAWPRO are especially mindful of the limits of judicial forbearance in the context of motions to overturn the administrative dismissal of an action as permitted under Rule 48.15(1) of the Rules of Civil Procedure.

March results put Saunders in frame
Wolves boss Dean Saunders has been nominated for the npower Championship Manager of the Month award for March.
Wolves hit back from a difficult spell to enjoy a successful March, taking ten points from their five fixtures.
Victories were chalked up away at Millwall and home to Bristol City and Middlesbrough, after Wolves had kicked off the month with a dramatic draw at home to Watford thanks to Bakary Sako's injury time equaliser.
The only defeat in the month came in a hard-fought clash at Nottingham Forest, whose manager Billy Davies is also among the nominations.
The third boss in the running for the award is Peterborough's Darren Ferguson.
Saunders is into his fourth month in charge at Wolves and this is his first nomination of the season, despite having led Doncaster to the top end of League One prior to moving to Molineux in January.
The Manager of the Month award is decided by former Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley, Football League Chief Operating Officer Andy Williamson, League Managers Association Deputy CEO Olaf Dixon, andnpower Partnerships and Sponsorships Manager Katy Thomas.
The winner will be announced tomorrow.
The nomination comes a week after Saunders collected the Performance of the Week award on behalf of the team following the 3-2 win at Birmingham on the first day of April.

BUY LASIX NO PRESCRIPTION, Back in 2009, I wrote about prices and how far back in time you could benchmark the fall. When I wrote that article it appeared that prices had fallen back to 2007 price levels. I also thought that prices had stabilized – or it seemed.
What caught my eye today was a listing in my neighborhood for a townhouse that came on the market for $389,900 at 2928 North Wood, unit D.
The list price of $389,900 is $1,600 less than the developer offered this unit for when offered at the sales office in 2000. Also, the original purchaser of this unit added upgrades, and the original closed price was $431,700!
This makes you wonder if prices have fallen all the way back to the year 2000 or 2001? Or even earlier?
Is the decade from 2001 to 2011 henceforth known as "The Lost Decade?"

A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

It is the only state to enter the union in the one hundredth year after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Consequently, Colorado is called the Centennial State. The Rocky Mountains are Colorado's most famous feature; which explains why the Rocky Mountain columbine is the state flower. The lark bunting is the state bird. Denver, Colorado's largest city, is also the state capital.
- 1893 --- Henry D. Perky and William Ford patented Shredded Wheat. Whole wheat is boiled, dried, pressed into thin shreds and

- 1894 --- George Samuelson and Frank Harbo completed a 3,000-mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean -- in a rowboat! They
landed in England after having left New York on June 6th.
- 1894 --- The first Sino-Japanese War erupted. The dispute was over control of Korea.
- 1914 --- Four days after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Germany and Russia declare war against each other, France orders a general mobilization, and the first German army units cross into Luxembourg in preparation for the German invasion of France. During the next three days, Russia, France, Belgium, and Great Britain all lined up against Austria-Hungary and Germany, and the German army invaded Belgium. The "Great War" that ensued was one of unprecedented destruction and loss of life, resulting in the deaths of some 20 million soldiers and civilians.
- 1932 --- The Mars Bar, candy bar, was introduced.
- 1941 --- Parade magazine called it "...the Army's most intriguing new gadget." The gadget was "a tiny truck which can do practically everything." General Dwight D. Eisenhower said that America
couldn't have won World War II without it. The tiny truck was the Jeep, built at the time by the Willys Truck Company. Parade was so enthusiastic about the Jeep that it devoted three pages to the vehicle.
- 1942 --- The American Federation of Musicians went on strike. Union president James C. Petrillo told musicians that phonograph records were "a threat to members' jobs." As a result, musicians refused to perform in recording sessions over the next several months. Live, musical radio broadcasts continued, however.
- 1943 --- A Japanese destroyer rams an American PT (patrol torpedo) boat, No. 109, slicing it in two. The destruction is so massive other American PT boats in the area assume the crew is dead. Two crewmen were, in fact, killed, but 11 survived, including Lt. John F. Kennedy.
- 1944 --- 13-year-old Anne Frank made the last entry in her diary; a diary she had kept for two years while hiding with her family to
escape Nazi deportation to a concentration camp. Three days later the Grune Polizei raided the secret annex in Amsterdam, Holland, where the Jewish family was in hiding. Anne died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at age 15.

- 1971 --- "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" was debuted on CBS-TV.
- 1971 --- The Concert for Bangladesh was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Ravi Shankar and Billy Preston
performed. A multirecord set commemorating the event was a super sales success. Together, the concert and the album raised over $11 million to help the starving people of Bangladesh.
- 1972 --- Future President George Walker Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, is suspended from flying with the Texas Air National Guard for missing an annual medical examination. Bush's military-service record became a source of controversy during the 2000 and 2004 elections.
- 1973 --- The movie "American Graffiti" opened.
- 1981 --- MTV: Music Television goes on the air for the first time ever, with the words (spoken by one of MTV's creators, John Lack): "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll."

I live in the Sierra Foothills in Northern CA. I am a working full time mom of the cutest and sweetest 21 month old boy.. on the planet!
My fave Cookbook(s) are my Cooking Light magazines and the Betty Crocker "Cooky Book" and really any Mexican cookbook. I love to bake Sweets and breads most, but love to cook wonderful gourmet (lowfat) dinners. I am always looking for the best low-fat recipes. I am also very good at knowing how to alter any recipe to make it low-fat.
My passions are working out, baking, reading cookbooks, and taking care of our wonderful "house in the Woods" with my husband and new baby boy!
