In an unscientific March 31 poll conducted by The Free Press online, 96 people answered the question "do you feel there is still a racial divide in Eastern North Carolina?"
Of those polled, 88 percent said "yes," 10 percent said "no" and 2 percent said "I don't know."
A study done by the UNC-Chapel Hill Center for Civil Rights, which was released on March 24, focused on some of the exclusion issues in the area, particularly in Kinston and Lenoir County.
Peter Gilbert, an equal justice works fellow with the UNC Center for Civil Rights, along with UNC law students and attorneys, used Lenoir County as the first county in the state, starting a series of exclusion analysis, along with the legacy of racial segregation.
"Lenoir County was picked mostly because of its diversity," Gilbert said. "We were interested in the history, and how it was involved in the repeal of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, as well as the history of the school district merger."
The report stated water and sewer services were equitably provided all over the county. Electricity was the biggest issue, as the report said "Electric rates are substantially higher in Kinston and La Grange, which supplement their city budgets with electric revenues. Most disadvantaged in this situation are African-American and Latino neighborhoods outside city boundaries that are nonetheless forced to buy electricity from the municipalities at inflated rates. The issue with ElectriCities is a statewide problem that cannot be solved by only Lenoir County; however, the municipalities ought to immediately cease any transfers to their general revenue."
Kinston City Manager Tony Sears said the perspective of the city's electricity was grossly inaccurate in the report.
"At no point did they contact anyone in the city regarding utilities," Sears said. "They took a picture within two city blocks of the information they needed and they didn't utilize people with real information."
In the Exclusion report, the representation in government was highlighted. The report stated Lenoir County is 51.3 percent white and 40.3 percent African-American, with five members on the board being white. In Kinston, the population is 67.7 percent African-American and 27.8 percent white, with the council being 50 percent with each ethnicity, including the mayor.
Gilbert said redistricting crippled the African-American vote in some areas in Lenoir County.
"I think the most important thing is having the goal of proportional representation," Gilbert said. "The recent redistricting by the legislature was done, I think, hypocritically in the name of Section 5 and the majority and minority districts. What they did was they packed the districts and put way more African-American voters in the district than were necessary to ensure African-Americans could elect the candidate of their choice while reducing their power in the remaining districts.
"A number of studies have shown that a lot of times, a majority isn't even necessary for African-Americans to have their choice candidate elected. If they are a majority of one party, and that party is in the district, then that is often sufficient. When they draw districts, like District 1, that includes part of Lenoir County, where they pack a majority of African American voters into one district, it effectively decreases African-American representation in state government and federal government as a whole."
Kinston Mayor B.J. Murphy also said it would've been better for the group to talk to the leaders in the community before making the report in all areas.
"If the focus of the document is to say the minority population — which is the majority population in Kinston — is underrepresented, the professor and the students failed to acknowledge that for the first time in the city of Kinston's history, a majority of the voting members in council are, in fact, minorities," Murphy said. "For this document to be publicly recognized and promoted by the UNC system, one would expect them to at least pick up the phone for interviews with prospective leaders to understand what it means to run an electric business, water, sewer, and infrastructure. The study obviously shows that the professor and students do not understand how the government's local commission works and how the electric business works. A simple phone call and interview could've shed some light before they posted their 'findings.'"
The report focused on the school district merger in 1992 between Lenoir County and Kinston, with the school district using a feeder assignment model dividing the district into three zones corresponding to the three public high schools in the county — North Lenoir, South Lenoir and Kinston High.
Gilbert said there are corresponding issues with educational performances due to some of the discrepancies.
"It isn't just about racial segregation — which in itself is a problem — but it's also, in Kinston, as well as across the state, where you have schools that are hypersegregated, schools that are racially isolated and high-poverty schools," Gilbert said. "There are corresponding issues you have with educational performances that cannot be overcome without socioeconomic and racial integration, and diversity. The issues at Kinston High and the schools in the Kinston High assignment zone face with educational performances are largely due to the underlying facts of the assignment policy.
"The assignment district for Kinston High and the schools that feed Kinston High is actually a higher percentage African-American, even in the city itself. It's as if the lines are being drawn to further segregate the schools, rather than the intention of integrating and having diverse and inclusive schools. I think what's required is the school board and for the county as a whole to make a commitment to racially integrated, socioeconomically diverse schools, and then, from that perspective, drawing new assignment zones which flow from that. "
Lenoir County Commissioner Jackie Brown said she was astonished when she read the report about the divide.
"Students in elementary and middle schools are drawn only from the assignment areas, and then you have others not following the line," Brown said. "Certain folks don't want to go to certain schools. If everyone was mandated to go to the schools in the district, we might be better off, but a lot of folks don't want to go to Rochelle (Middle School); instead they would go to (Arendell) Parrott of Bethel (Christian Academy), and both are more than 90 percent white. This report has some startling results in education, but it raises more questions than it does answers."
Doug Phillips, principal at Bethel Christian, said the school welcomes all nationalities and ethnicities, but several issues could prevent families from enrolling their children.
"It's a private institute, and we don't have things such as financial aid, scholarships, grants," Phillips said. "I would love to see more diversity, and there was a great opportunity with a tuition program for private schools until (superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood) from Raleigh pulled the plug on that. We had quite a few families in Kinston who had applied."
Maya Swinson, the principal at Rochelle — the only middle school in the city and more than 90 percent African-American — said her focus is on improving the school.
"I believe progress is being made and more members of the community are getting involved," Swinson said. "This report will open up good conversations that need to happen. I live here, love my job and as an administrator, I do my best to make this place great for the students. We're currently working on an 'I Am Rochelle' movement and the students, teachers and administrators are all helping each other."
Lenoir County Superintendent Stephen Mazingo said the exclusion report doesn't have the human element, and called the document a study by the numbers.
"It's fairly hard to draw conclusions and make a recommendation on something strictly on statistics," Mazingo said. "It leaves out the human perspective and the dynamic of the community. For example, Parrott is truly a regional private school and about a third of the students come from Lenoir County."
"There is a lot to improve in the district, and we went to offer more than basic education. We're looking at fine arts schools and the possibility of magnet schools for underpopulated institutions where student populations have fallen over time. We want public schools to be more attractive because with other options such as online schools, homeschooling and private institutions, public schools don't have the monopoly it once had."
Where do we go from here?
Kinston City Councilman Robbie Swinson said the area has a long way to go for change.
"When I read the report, I was blown away by the information and statistics," Swinson said. "We need to make changes and make Kinston a better place to work, live and play. It's 2014, and when you look at the statistics, it's mind-blowing how things are. I grew up here, went to school here and being aware of the information now, I thought things had changed tremendously for the better, but it seems like it hasn't."
Lenoir County Commission Chairman Craig Hill said the reports need to be evaluated and adjustments could be made in the area.
"I believe parts of the report were right, and other parts were off the mark," Hill said. "Still, it causes us to stop, pause and listen to what they're saying. At first glance, the issues regarding city and county school systems caught my eye, as well as the merger and voting districts. It doesn't mean I agree with all of the opinions, but they certainly warrant a review."
Antuan Hawkins, a librarian with the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library, said he was happy about UNC doing the report, but it just confirms what people felt the whole time.
"It was released by an independent group, so it was done in a nonbiased way," Hawkins said. "Hopefully, the report will get people talking, coming to a better place and connecting better. When you look at the report, it doesn't put us in a good light, but it may have us moving in the right direction later to make Kinston and Lenoir County better."
Theresa Williams-Bethea, founder of Young Women of Promise, said Gilbert will speak at a community meeting at St. Augustus AME Zion Church at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 14.
"He'll be providing an overview on the report and several key people in the county have been invited," Williams-Bethea said. "There are different pages of the report highlighting certain things, so we want to have city and county representatives, people from the human relations council and the school systems. Of course, the entire community is invited to give reaction to the report. This doesn't paint the best picture of Kinston, but it's the truth, and now we're at that point where we try to figure out where to go from here."
Julian Pridgen, pastor at St. Augustus AME Zion Church, said he hopes to learn more about the exclusion report in the meeting.
"I really would like to hear more details from the group on how they put the report together and made their assessment, and then have dialogue with them," Pridgen said. "Hopefully, we can get the community out to hear what Peter Gilbert says so we can have a community dialogue if possible."

I made myself a promise that I was not even going to mention New Year's resolutions this year.
I decided to just go right on by Jan. 1 and forget the times I'd decided to do, or not do, certain things during the upcoming year. But the first thing you know, I'd just fall right off the resolution wagon.
But just in passing a few days back, I told myself that I was going to cut back on coffee consumption.
Nothing in writing, you understand, more like a fleeting thought.
But a couple of nights ago, I woke up at 2:02 a.m., and the first thought that crossed my mind was: I want a cup of coffee.
No, no, no,
OK, OK. So I turned this way and that. I even got over on YKW's side of the bed, but I couldn't handle that.
The floodlight from next door was shining so bright through my windows that I said right out loud, "I bet I could read by that light."
Twist, turn, twist turn.
OK, I reached over and picked up my James Patterson book with large print. And sure enough, if I put my nose close enough to the page, I could read it. But the strain was no fun.
I've proved nothing here, thinks I. And I still wanted a cup of coffee.
I remembered that YKW used to say that when he had trouble falling asleep, he would count in Roman numerals until he dozed off.
Well, I tried that. Trouble is I really couldn't be sure what came after X (10). I could go look it up, but that's kind of defeating the purpose of trying to get back to sleep.
Let's see 20 would be XX, wouldn't it? And 30 would be XXX. Forty? Hmm. I really can't see what could be so soothing about reciting Roman numerals.
I dasn't look at the clock.
Was that my motion light that just came on? I'd better go look. While I'm up I can take a quick peek into the "R" encyclopedia to see what comes after X.
I stood in the dark kitchen and realized that my imagination must be at work again. No outside light was on, not in my yard at least.
In the movies when somebody is having trouble sleeping, they always sashay into the kitchen in their lovely gown and robe and have a glass of warm milk.
Warm milk? Nah. If I'm going to have anything to drink, it's going to be coffee.
And so, I shashay into the kitchen in my knee socks and XXL Willie Saul T-shirt. Hey, I know what that XXL means. It means extra-extra large, nearly to my knees.
So I settle for cold milk. But hey, wouldn't some Cheerios be good with my milk? I turned on a dim light over the stove, and reached in the cabinet for the Cheerios to go with my glass of milk.
I kept eyeing the coffee pot, all set up to come on at 5:15 a.m.
I switched it on – I have no will power.
So, when I finished my Cheerios and coffee, I turned off all the lights, felt my way down the hall, stretched and yawned and went back to bed. I peeped at the clock – hmm, 3:02 A.M.
I'd call that pretty good timing, wouldn't you…..zzzzzzzz.
Come by and join me in a cup of you-know-what.

Hello John,
Following is the main piece of my answer to your post of the 24th.
Hello, Keith. A belated welcome to the forum.
I may be one of those theists whom you could engage in a straight and head-on intellectual confrontation. However, your goal of demonstrating that my beliefs are false and should be abandoned may compromise the objective that I would have in such a confrontation. My objective would be to convince you that neither theism nor any form of non-theism has any meaning in and of itself. Rather, what is meaningful is our (un)faith's extending itself as a means toward nurturing growth in one another. I think you have begun on the wrong foot in your essay and that this can only lead to your continually being off balance. Let me begin an explanation.
I find your writing attractive, and it's good to chat with someone who seems to be well read in philosophy. But starting from your paragraph here and then becoming more apparent as I go forward, there is a feeling of deep disconnect in that your thinking does not appear to incorporate what is for me the most fundamental principle of reason; the law of the excluded middle. To cite the most problematic sentence from your above para.: My reaction to "My objective would be ….." would be to dispense with both theism and all forms of non-theism; as I can't understand trying to accord further consideration to any proposal that 'has no meaning in and of itself'.
[quote author="John Brand"] Your essay Truth begins with a reference to the pioneering work of Karl Popper: "All of our ancient systems of institutionalized irrationality - and in particular, our theistic religions - are vulnerable to a fatal rational attack from the philosophical position developed by the late Sir Karl Popper. This essay makes that attack."
In his book Open Society, Popper introduces his objective in terms of an often overlooked summary of all of his work: "You may be right and I may be wrong, and with a little effort we may get nearer to the truth."
K: Much as I love Professor Popper my position on this, as on all of his writing, is that he should have gone ahead and taken the final intellectual plunge that he was by his own admission considering when writing LScD. Basically, the one that I outline and argue for in 'Truth?' His sentence here would then have been: "You may be right and I may be wrong, and with a little effort we may resolve the issue." Of possible passing interest, I claim to be able to do that with any sentence written by the good professor which did not have 'truth' as its direct subject. I further claim that in all of the many cases in which I have done it the result has been, as here, a shorter and more elegant sentence.
[quote author="John Brand"] He argues that the birth of philosophy in the west was brought about by the clashing of numerous cultures especially on the periphery of the Persian Empire, for instance in Ionia.
K: General agreement.
[quote author="John Brand"] In my view, the result of these clashes was not a discrediting of the older religious systems; rather, it was a transformation of the basics of these systems into philosophical discourse.
K: It is right here that we run head-on into the 'excluded middle' problem. The religious systems present themselves as sets of proposals about reality. But the defining proposals of any particular religious system can be seen to logically exclude those of all of the others. Trivially, in the context of our subject period, if the main pantheon of gods was being led by one named Zeus, and lived on Mt. Olympus, and was preferentially concerned with the doings of the Greeks; then it could not simultaneously be being led by one named Jove, and live on Mt. Parnassus, and be preferentially concerned with the doings of the Romans. Nor could it be led by Set, or Horus, or Isis, or whoever, and be preferentially concerned with the doings of the Egyptians. I'd be interested to know in what sense you propose that these systems – all of which were being maintained in spite of their being observably silly, and logically exclusive – might have transformed into our first significant cooperative attempt to develop systems that were neither. Basically, what might any of them have contributed to the birth of philosophy, apart from 'how not to do it'?
[quote author="John Brand"] For instance, consider the following section from Plutarch's Isis and Osiris:
The images from [the soul of Osiris] with which the sensible and corporeal is impressed, and the relations, forms, and likenesses which this take upon itself, like impressions of seals in wax [Theaetetus], are not permanently lasting, but disorder and disturbance overtakes them, being driven hither from the upper reaches, and fighting against Horus, whom Isis brings forth, beholden of all, as the image of the perceptible world [Timaeus]. (Plutarch Isis and Osiris.54)
In the bold print I have highlighted where the meaning of the Egyptian myth was transformed by Plato into his philosophy. The goal of the philosophy, according to his Republic was that a disciple learn to honour the gods and their parents, and to value friendship with one another (Book III). In the Theaetetus, Socrates argues from the position that the soul is immortal and experiences direct knowledge of the truth. Using the image of a wax block, Socrates argues that the truth is imprinted only on the soul that is soft and malleable rather than the soul which is hardened.
K: Where to start with all this? First, I am no fan of Plato. I can't help but like the young Plato, of the Apology and Gorgias. But I think that he was deeply scarred by his great teacher's death, and Athens' fall to Sparta. He certainly never forgave democracy for either of these horrors; and his revenge – in writing what is still the world's most seductive and effective anti-democratic text (The Republic) – was terrible. The full title of the Popper book to which you referred earlier was 'The Open Society and its Enemies'. The title of the first of its two volumes was 'Plato'. It's a superb read. As to Socrates and the block of wax business; this sounds to me very much like one of Plato's bogus attributions of his own words to his teacher's lips. I should also remark that if I accept it then – in view of my own position on truth – I must suppose that my 'soul' (whatever and wherever this may be) is composed of something like high carbon tool steel. As a crusty old marine oilfield engineer I can't say that I find this an entirely unappealing thought.
[quote author="John Brand"] It would follow from this that if one does not honour the faith system of those with whom he engages, he cannot come to experience the truth which Socrates et al experienced.
K: I'm afraid that I just don't understand the whole concept of 'honoring faith systems'. If a person tells me something that I can see to be absurd then I extend them the courtesy of informing them of this. I don't assume that they are too stupid, or that their minds are too badly damaged, to be able to accept the information. The only difference that I can find between proposals like 'Russell's teapot' and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and those that define, say, Scientology or Christianity or Islam is that those of the latter three appear to be held by relatively large numbers of people. This does not seem to me to constitute any kind of justification, as I am aware of their being logically exclusive, and that my species has been in the habit of embracing such systems in large groups throughout its developmental history. In regard to the second point I'm also aware that the large groups have been crashing and burning, in the form of wars, pogroms, famines, genocides and so on. I do not think that these observations are unconnected, and I entirely reject the pusillanimous excuse that they comprise 'the human condition'. I think that the human condition has been – ever since we hit on our ultimate evolutionary trump card, of dividing reality into mentally manipulatable and communicable units – exactly what we have been choosing to make it. I think that we have been choosing very badly, and that we could do much better by dumping the idea that we have a qualitatively superior knowledge basis [to observation grounded reason] through which it is OK to embrace as knowledge proposals that can be clearly seen to be in opposition to observation grounded reason.
[quote author="John Brand"] In your discussion with Bruce Burleson, for instance, you may experience the same kind of experience that Bruce has experienced if you fulfill the same kind of submission that he has fulfilled and vice versa you would never experience what he has experienced if you pursued it as a matter of objectivity in and of itself. You would not have to call your experience the experience of an actual entity or god; however, you would come to understand your experience in terms that might be outlined in the texts of those who did believe in the actual existence of a god.
K: I'm having a hard time wringing any coherent meaning from this. If Bruce believes something, and is disposed to tell me why he believes it, then I will be disposed to listen. If he has 'submitted' to something, and is willing to tell me why he submitted to that thing (when he might have submitted to some other thing, or to no thing) then the same offer holds. I've already told him this, and will extend the offer also to you. My only stipulation, as noted in my first brief response to you, is that before we dive into our consideration of which systems of proposals (between the scientific ones that I hold, and the logically exclusive* theistic ones you and/or Bruce have implied that you hold) can be seen to qualify as knowledge, we should agree on some clear decision process for knowledge. Basically, on how/why only some proposals (as opposed to all proposals) can qualify as knowledge. I'm always happy to talk with theists, but not to prolong the fruitless debate of at least our past several thousand years. If we can agree on any basis through which we have at least some possibility of success, then let's go.
Best regards,
*There is, admittedly, the well trodden road of watering down, attenuating and generalizing theistic proposals until they can no longer be seen to be in clear logical opposition to science. But I think that this is more accurately called 'deism'.

We've all had this conversation. A friend wants to bring home a new pet, and despite your best efforts, she's set on buying from a pet store. How can you convince to her adopt, not shop? Here are four things we hear a lot, and how you can respond.
If I don't buy that puppy in the pet store, who will?
Pet stores usually sell their puppies quickly, and the store will slash the price on slow sellers until they're bought. If people stop giving their business to pet stores that sell puppies by not purchasing puppies or anything else from them, ultimately, the puppy mills that they support will shut down from lack of demand. Hurray!
I want a purebred/a puppy, and they don't end up in shelters.
Some people want a Golden Retriever no matter what. Tell your pal that a one-of-a-kind mutt from a shelter is just as healthy and lovable, but that 25% of animals who enter shelters are purebreds, and that most breeds have a breed rescue—a group that re-homes dogs of a specific breed. Oh, and show them some videos of ASPCA puppies.
Shelter pets aren't likely to be healthy.
Explain to your pal the many physical and mental ailments puppy mill dogs—most of those in pet stores—can develop. Remind your pal that any animal can become sick or injured, regardless of where he came from, but that at a shelter you know up front if your new pet has any chronic health issues. Let your friend know that pet store dogs are actually somewhat more likely than shelter dogs to need vet care for an illness.
My friend has a shelter dog, and he's hyper/destructive/scared/shy.
Here's where those of you with shelter pets can point to them and say, "Uh, what about Mr. Fluffy here? He's a model dog and he came from a shelter." Then point out that just like dogs from anywhere else, some shelter dogs have behavior issues to work on. Adopting from a shelter allows you to know exactly what you're getting and whether you're prepared to handle any issues that may arise.
Good luck! If you have other suggestions, share 'em with us. And if you've persuaded someone to adopt, not shop, tell us about it.
Brought home my new friend last night from my local SPCA.She's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It's fun to try and figure out when jumble of breeds are in them.
Save a life, adopt or rescue! Never buy or breed!

I have always had purebred Burmese cats. With my last 2 cats, a blue Burmese and a sable Burmese, when they were only 3 years old, they had to have their teeth cleaned and had to be sedated for this to take place. It cost me over $2,000 to have them looked at. Despite my best efforts, my blue Burmese got another gum infection when she was only 8 years old. We treated her and the vet tried to save her life, but she had to be put to sleep after another $1,000 vet bill.
After looking up health concerns regarding health issues with purebred Burmese cat, I found out that they are susceptible to allergies from the plaque on their teeth. This problem is caused by inbreeding and also is taking place with Siamese and Persian cats also.
My next rescue will be a cat that I adopt from the shelter...no more purebreds for me! Several of our local pet stores have kittens that came from a foster mother and were from pregnant cats brought into the shelters. I want a black cat as I hear that they are the last to be adopted because of their color.
I once cat-sit for someone who had a very glossy beautiful black cat named Spirit. I was warned not to ever touch her because she was vicious. After the lady left I went into Spirit's bedroom and gave her my hand to sniff. Then I left her some kibble treats on her bed. After 3 days I gave her a slow pat of her back. She put her teeth on my hand but did not sink them in and she never broke the skin.
This display told me that she badly craved love and attention but she was afraid of being hurt again. (She had been abused and adopted from the shelter by this lady.) I slowly patted her many times a day until she came to look forward to this. I then started to brush her fur. Again, she showed aggressive behavior but I persisted and soon she was purring when I patted or brushed her. After a short time she amazed me by jumping up on my lap. She was so afraid and she jumped down after a quick pat. By the end of the 3 weeks the owner came home and was astonished to find her "vicious" cat sitting curled up with me and purring loudly.
She totally loves her Spirit now and was overjoyed to have her become a lap cat.
Sometimes, it just takes time, slowness, patience, treats, soft whispers, gentleness and love and you can really make a real difference in some poor abused animal's life and also enrich your own.
Someone that I know adopted a cat and a dog from the shelter. They both had lost an eye because of abusive owners. She adopted these two because she thought that a lot of people wouldn't want them because of their eye missing. I feel that she was right. Both of these animals are extremely loving and I think that they really appreciate her kind nature and are so happy that they now have a forever home with loads of love.
I feel that each animal owner should, if they can, have plans on what to have done to their pet if they pass away or aren't able to care for their pets any longer. My friend and I are both going to take care of the other's cats in that case. If our pets do not get along with each other, we plan to constantly visit the senior's center looking for kind people to adopt our pets.
A lot of elderly people won't get another pet as they feel that they may die or have to go into a nursing home. They are willing to get an older animal because they don't have this fear.
My Zeus came from a shelter and he is the most amazing dog I could ever have dreamed of having. I adopted him for his loving, lap-dog personality even though he horrible breath and can be a little possessive with food. At the end of the day he has rescued me more that I have rescued him. Plus he came knowing sit, down, stay, come, dance, paw, touch, leave it, drop it, and is as cute as can be! Your perfect canine soul mate is out there so please don't shop, adopt!

The first aim of this project is to provide an exhaustive list of bibliographical references of descriptive work in linguistics ('Langdoc'). For understudied languages, we aim at having references to everything available on earth, while for better-studied languages, only the most extensive works are included. A web inteface will allow browsing this reference catalogue by language families, areas, document types, or bibliographical data.
The second aim ('Glottolog') is to base definitions of 'languoids' (languages, dialects, and language families) on empirical grounds: a languoid is defined as the sum of the documents which describe it. A number of eternalnicht in discussions in linguistics, most notably the language/dialect distinction, become moot when using definitions based on collections of documents.
Glottolog is part of the CLLD project.

Hennington-Flowers Cemetery
Hello. My name is Steve. We are probably related. I am a direct descendant of Richard Henington. He was my ggg grandfather and was a Confederate chaplain for the Mississippi Volunteers. I come down through his son and daughter-in-law Thomas and Margarida who is known as Maggie in my branch of the family. My brother and I went to the cemetery about 25 years ago and saw and took pictures of Maggie's tombstone. I figured the other folks buried there are probably relatives as well. Thank you for your work regarding this cemetery.

RE: Memorial# 72983719
The Jeremiah F Cooper who died at Fort Donelson was the son of Fredrick J Cooper and Sarah Downing. He was born in Illinois in 1840. He and his bother William Cooper, my second great grandfather, both enlisted in Company I of the 11th Illinois Infantry at Lacon, Illinois. Jeremia enlisted Sep 1, 1861. William enlisted NOV 1, 1861. My GG Grandfather was present and was wounded at Fort Donelson when his brother died.
I believe the Jeremiah F Cooper described in the current posting survived the war and was living in Indian Grove Illinois in 1870. See below:

Files Valley Cemetery
This relates to the status of the cemetery in Files Valley, TX. In the 1970s, a board was established to oversee maintenance of the cemetery. All of the board members are now deceased. In order to insure some level of maintenance going forward, a new board should be established. A meeting seems necessary to reestablish the board and the first group to make contact with, before going to the general population of the community, in my opinion, should be those FindAGrave Contributors who have shown an interest and demonstrated some effort to preserve the memory of those interred there. If you have experience in managing small cemeteries and/or the interest to participate in this process, please contact me via email at email@example.com.
Regards and thanks for all your work for FindAGrave.

Jeremiah Cooper
Memorial 72983719
I am a descendant of Frederick-Jeremiah Cooper with sons William and Jeremiah living in Lacon Marshall Illinois-I am the 2nd g grand daughter of Elizabeth, sister to these boys. Their other sister Cynthis married Erastus McKinney. Both boys enlisted in CW in the 11th with Erastus R McKinney (brother in law to both Jeremiah and Wm Cooper) in the fall of 1861. I have letters written by Erastus that notifies family of Jerry's death. Ancestry.com also show Jeremiah from Lacon Marshall Illinois and died 15 of Feb 1862 at Donelson. I find only 2 Jeremiah Cooper in the Report of Adjutant General of Illinois (1900) The other Jeremiah was from Steuben Marshall and I have CW cards that indicate he was 26 and enlisted at Peoria assigned to Stueben Ill 5 dist 71 sub district. He was attached to the Illinois 8th Infranty from Oct 18 1864 to 1866 no indication that he never was transferred to the Illinois 11th.

RE: Mason Cemetery/Old City Cemetery
Old Wedowee City Cemetery is off of Hwy 431 at the edge of town. I think it is 4th or 5th Street. The last person buried there was about 1899. There had been a restortation some some ago. Then they put about three rows of unmarked cement crosses. I have tried the best I could to document readable ones with photos. A couple of ladies documented many of the graves in 2002 or 2009, from USGENWEB.
The Wedowee Masonic Cemetery is active and off of Hwy 48. My girlfriend and I are trying to finish taking picture of all the headstones. Unfortunately the grounds are not kept up and it always means digging out flat stone buried by crabgrass.
Do you live local?
I wish I knew how to put a better description on Findagrave. Do You? Maybe it would help if there was a better description on front page.

I do believe that Harriet Hood is in The Wedowee Masonic Cemetery, not the Old Wedowee Cemetery. The Old Wedowee Cemetery has not been used for 100 years or more.
Often time obits will state that the deceased person was in the Wedowee city Cemetery, confusing them.
As you will see 103020739 has confirmed with a picture, But yours had so much more bio maybe you could just transfer that info over Thanks esther 47393584

Drug interactions overview
Whenever two or more drugs are being taken, there is a chance that there will be an interaction among the drugs. The interaction may increase or decrease the effectiveness of the drugs or their side effects. The likelihood of drug interactions increases as the number of drugs being taken increases. Therefore, people who take many drugs are at the greatest risk for interactions. Drug interactions contribute to the cost of healthcare because of the costs of medical care that are required to treat problems caused by changes in effectiveness or side effects. Interactions also can lead to psychological suffering. This review discusses the issue of drug interactions and several ways to avoid them.
What are drug interactions?
A drug interaction can be defined as an interaction between a drug and another substance that prevents the drug from performing as expected. This definition applies to interactions of drugs with other drugs (drug-drug interactions), as well as drugs with food (drug-food interactions) and other substances, such as supplements. Drugs also may interact with laboratory tests, changing the proper results of the laboratory test.

|Pediatric Aquatic Therapy at All Children's Hospital
The pediatric occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) programs at All Children's Hospital treat children with a variety of diagnoses. Our typical setting for providing these services is in the clinic, on land. However, we also provide specialized rehabilitation using water as a modality to assist children with achieving their functional goals. The benefit of adding a treatment modality that reduces the effect of gravity is that it often allows children to move and strengthen muscles that they have not previously been able to use effectively. Plus, most children consider pools a fun environment, making the potential for progress even greater.
The pediatric occupational therapists and physical therapists that provide therapy in the pool undergo extensive training for the use of this modality. Not only do they have advanced degrees in their profession, but all have attended intensive training to become experts in pediatric aquatic therapy. Training includes review of recent research and education related to variations to movement quality using aquatic and physics concepts correctly. Additionally, it is important for therapists working in the water to know appropriate equipment to use, and contraindications and precautions specific to the aquatic environment. Some of our therapists are also certified through the Aquatic Therapy & Rehab Institute. All therapists are trained in water safety and CPR.
Aquatic therapy combines the benefits of occupational therapy and physical therapy with the advantages of gravity reduced exercise in a warm-water environment. Once gravity is reduced, the use of typical OT and PT treatment theories must be adapted. In the water, many of our children are able to freely move in a way they are not able to on land. Body weight is reduced by up to 90 percent in the water allowing the patient more freedom of movement and improved muscle relaxation with reduced exhaustion.
Aquatic therapy combines the benefits of occupational therapy and physical therapy with the advantages of gravity reduced exercise in a warm-water environment.
As a result of the buoyancy and support provided by the water, functional training can often be initiated sooner than it would be on land. For example, because the water helps support the arm in an abducted position on the surface of the water, the child will be able to focus on gripping various pool toys and equipment for improved hand strength and coordination. Another example is by having a child reach and pull his arms through the water, muscle strength and coordination will improve for increased function related to dressing and feeding activities.
Gross motor function is also positively impacted. For example, by having the child walk up and down the ramp leading into/out of the pool, difficulty can be graded with the deeper end providing more support and the shallower end providing less support. Also, the child can practice sitting down and standing up on a submerged bench to improve independence with transitional activities by strengthening the quadriceps and hamstrings. These are all activities the child may not be able to practice on land.

'Excess' teachers going back to work
Some sat for weeks with nothing to do, though many helped out
More than 100 teachers in San Diego Unified went into session in September with no official job assignment for the school year, due largely to enrollment shifts and increases in class size that required redeployments.
Most of those teachers were given tasks helping to open classrooms and assist teachers. But at least five unassigned teachers passed the time with no responsibilities, their paychecks protected by union contracts.
Now, seven weeks into the school year, officials say they have matched nearly all the teachers to available jobs. That means many students will get assigned to new teachers this week.
"It's like a game of musical chairs," Superintendent Cindy Marten said. "The music has stopped, and it looks like we have jobs for every teacher."
Danny Blas was one of five unassigned teachers at Lincoln High School who have been without any duties since school started Sept. 3. His U.S. history course sections were eliminated due to a sharp drop in enrollment, and his marine biology class was canceled because it didn't fit into Lincoln's new college-preparatory model.
Blas had been reporting to an empty classroom, spending most of his time researching science and the state's new Common Core academic standards. Some of his unassigned colleagues attended teacher training workshops.
"I've tried to stay busy," said Blas, who has now been given an assignment and will start teaching science at Kearny High School on Tuesday. "I've audited some other classes and worked with students. It's not been a very good use of my talents or my paycheck."
Did San Diego Unified make the most efficient use of its teachers this fall?
Yes 5% (11)
No 95% (206)
217 total votes.
District officials said it is common for staffing changes to occur well into October, noting that the contract with the teachers union does not require assignments to be final until this month.
But during the transition period, parents and teachers complained to the school board about excessive use of substitute teachers, unpopular "combo classes" that combine two grade levels in a single classroom and large class sizes in the earliest elementary grades.
Teacher's union President Bill Freeman told U-T Watchdog that administrators should have planned better.
"Six weeks into the year, there remains as many as 35 students in some kindergarten classes and many students across the district have endured a revolving door of substitute teachers," Freeman said.
The issue of unassigned teachers comes up every year. Officials don't know how many students will actually attend school until classes begin, and reassignments are necessary to adjust.
San Diego Unified employs more than 6,000 teachers. Some are officially declared "excess" by the district because of factors such as shifting enrollment, while others lack assignments for other reasons, like Blas. The number officially declared excess each year varies — 658 last year, 696 in 2011-12, 560 in 2010-11 and 347 in 2009-10, district records show.
This year, the district tried something new with excess teachers. As part of a wider an effort to avert layoffs last spring, the administration decided to meet all or most of its demands for new teacher positions by reassigning the excess teachers. Balancing that with natural attrition, the effort seems to have worked out.

The Baillargeon Blog: Sitting down with the B's on Day 3
By Robbie Baillargeon
Editor's note: Robbie Baillargeon (Enfield, Conn.) is a former Cushing Academy standout who shined for the USHL's Indiana Ice in 2011-12. He'll be filing an online diary of his experiences at the annual NHL Draft Combine in Toronto this week.
Today, Thursday, went very well. It was more of a relaxed type day. I woke up around 7:45 and got ready to go to my first interview.
I started off with Ottawa and had Nashville right after. Both interviews went great and were laid back and relaxed. Still, I have yet to be asked and weird or strange questions. I'm starting to think that's a myth!
After Nashville I went back to my room and watched tv until my next interview, which was at 10:50 with St. Louis. After my interview with them, which went very well also, I headed over to Subway with Jon Gillies (South Portland, Maine) to grab some lunch. On the way over, we were again, mobbed by different fans asking us to sign sticks, magazines, and NHL Draft cards.
We ate some lunch and then headed back over to the hotel to rest until our next interviews. My next one was at 1:45 with Winnipeg. I headed up to their room and had a great interview with them. So far, every team has had quite a bit of staff members with them except Ottawa -- they were on the smaller scale.
With four interviews down I had two left, one being with the Boston Bruins! I was very excited for this one, since they are my favorite team. I have been a fan my whole life and grew up watching them all the time. I was very excited to what they had to offer with the type of questions they asked and how many staff members they had with them. Going in, I wasn't nervous at all. I greeted everyone, sat down, and started answering questions just like every other interview. The atmosphere was very formal and relaxed, I felt very comfortable during it. The interview went great! I thanked everyone and headed back to my room.
I only had one interview left with about a four-hour break until my last one. With all the free time, I met up with Jon and we went back to the Reebok/CCM room. There, we tried out there new sticks at the shooting station and we played each other in a shooting accuracy game. We played tic tac toe and fastest shooting, which was whoever hit all nine targets in the fastest time won. Those were really fun and enjoyable.
It came time for me to start getting ready for my last interview, so I headed back to my room. I got ready and went to New Jersey's interview room. This one went well, which I was pleased to finish all my interviews on a good note.
After, I changed into street clothes and Jon Gillies, Matt DeBlouw, and I met up with Me and Jon's former teammate Boo Nieves (Kent School/Indiana- USHL), and his roommate, (Fargo - USHL defenseman) Brian Cooper. We went out to dinner at the same place we went the night before, Arizona's. We ordered some food, ate, and went back to the hotel to go to bed. Today was a good day, but tomorrow I have my fitness tests!
Tomorrow starts all the craziness with the media that's covering the combine. I start at 2:30 and should finish up around 5:10.
Thanks for checking in!
Be sure to check back here throughout the week for updates from one of the New England region's top draft eligible players.

I love food, so every Friday, I share a recipe of my own, or one that I've found online, etc. If you have a recipe you'd like to share, you can post it here!
Here's a couple of my favorite sites:
ShouldIWearPantsToday.com and IsItLunchtimeYet.com.
Please enjoy them! :)
Braciole, Stuffed Beef Rolls in Tomato Sauce
Serves 4
4 thin slices boneless beef round (about 1 pound)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 thin slices prosciutto
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
1 cup dry red wine
4 cups tomato puree
4 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
1 pound ziti or penne, cooked and still hot
Place the beef between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat pounder or rubber mallet to a 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness.
Sprinkle the beef with the garlic, cheese, parsley, and salt and pepper. Cover with the prosciutto slices. Roll up each piece like a sausage and tie it with kitchen string.
Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the braciole and garlic. Cook, turning the meat occasionally, until it is browned on all sides and the garlic is golden. Add the wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic.
Stir in the tomato puree and basil.
Cover and cook over low heat, turning the meat occasionally, until it is tender when pierced with a fork, about 2 hours. Add a little water if the sauce becomes too thick.
Serve the sauce over the hot cooked ziti as a first course, followed by the braciole.

The Legend of Gordon is a modification for Half Life 2. It is not a total conversion as it does take place within the Half Life universe. The mod takes place after the events of Half Life 2: Episode 2 (sort of my take on what happens afterwards). This mod is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda, so in essence I'm taking elements from two great games and putting them in to one package. This mod aims to create a unique atmosphere while not necessarily going crazy on the visualizations. I am the kind of person that cares much more about gameplay above anything else, so my aim is to make this game fun, challenging, while at the same time balanced and easy to learn for those who have never picked up an FPS before. The game does NOT contain spoilers of Episode 2 and does NOT require you to have episode 2 to play so don't worry! You can understand nothing about Half Life 2 and still have a good time. So relax and check out some of the media!

Moroccan prostitution market prospers
With the massive influx of Arab and foreign tourists to the cities of Morocco this summer as well as the return for vacation by Moroccans living abraod, the local prostitution market has shown signs of recovery as prices have gone up. According to Elaph website, it is a difficult task nowadays to find in a Casablanca nightclub a "good looking female candidate" to spend the night.
In the face of the growing demand, prostitutes increased their prices. In order to spend one night with a local prostitute, a man will have to pay from 500 dirhams (about 70 dollars) to over 1500 dirhams (about 170 dollars), the website reported.
An Elaph reporter in Morocco spoke with one of the prostitutes and asked her about the price for the night. The girl answered him: "If you have a place to spend the night, I will charge you 1000 dirhams (about 120 dollars), but if you do not have a place, you are asked to provide additional 400 dirhams (about 60 dollars), so I can hire an apartment from one of my friends. "
Sadly, for many young females in Morocco, prostitution is the "easy" way to earn money. Thus, the north African kingdom has a significant rate of prostitution. However, the authorities are trying to fight this industry from time to time. Since the beginning of 2009, there were hundreds of arrests of prostitutes in Morocco, according to local press reports.

s!@# i would like to go visit somedat and f!@# those women there never had moroccan p!@#$ before must be good!
for rel i like moroccan womens they have big boobs and soft body ans more
You have to be a real nasty evil person to say that. Just because the country is open minded and you can count everything with your hand does not mean that all are at it like your sisters who are doing in private. check on youtube how many women from khalijj are selling themselves for free. at least Moroccans are getting paid for it. where as your women are giving it for free and still no one want them. question why everyone is rushing to Morocco then? aren't your women good enough for you or you are simply being a twat?
moroccan women are the dirtiest women in the world
their pure evil
the islamic world is better off with all moroccan womne dead
moroccan women are destroying islam
I think that this social problem is due to poverty and ignorance of many young women who sell their bodies in return of money .Women need to understand that they to keep their reputation clean and preserve their dignity and honour.May Allah guide all of them.
Sadly there are some big 'Kawads' or pimps supporting the business of prostitution in Morocco by means of facilitating there night club business, hotel business, cafe and short-letting apartments. It is a shame the the woman have no regard for there dignity as Muslims and poverty in not a reason. The fact is any poor Moroccan can have olives and bread for 2 dirhams.
Why they are not curbing on this is because it is bringing the false economy of tourism in Morocco! This will not live for long and shame on all those Big Kawads!
Corruption and prostitution feed the greed of dirty, disgusting and selfish humans. Even animals are better than these humans.
Who Benefits from the revenue of this overall? I welcome your opinions!
i am working for overseas for so many years and i do agreed that a lot of moroccan ladies go into this business. i cannot blame them also because of poverty..what we can do?..do understand them and do take care always whenever we will used them. I know that if poverty do not exists they will not go into this kind of business
as a moroccan i have been to many countries and i f**** hookers in all of those countries. moroccans love to f*** and if you send in any of your females to morocco they will certainly be f**** willingly.
There are many Muslims countries are having high percentage of prostitution, even ladies with covered Abayas, but we never pointed any nationality or any country, why only Moroccans, because they dont hide, they are courageous, or because most of your Men fall in love with them,
ok , well the whole report is right , but why are we talking about morocco only , this trade is everywhere even in the rich countries like USA - England and even in the holy cities and so on . Everywhere where you go in this planet there are prostitution why are we targeting just morocco ,
i am not defending the case but when you talk about a subject that concern the whole communities of the world never a writer should target one country otherwise he looses the main core of the subject.
Women are treated like slaves in many countries of the world and are onsidered as not the creation of God. Are treated like disposable items which are thrown out of their matrimonial homes at the instances of their husbands and are enouraged to go into prostitution. We also treated our young girls as if we do not give birth to them. Lack of true love towards our young girls is causing them to go into prostitution. We should love our wives and give our daughters the right to education like the sons. Give them a say in every society both women and girls. As we are all aware prostitution is the major sources of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases in our socities so let us love the females and give them a sense of belonging in our socities especially the muslim socities in the world.
so what is new? it is always like this anywhere in the world ..prostitution is every where and it is on the rise .. so why particualarly targeting morroco? women are demeaned everywhere ...they have to make a living like everyone else..and in return for the money they get..they get disease as well ... it is not a fair trade
Math Correction:
a man will have to pay from 500 dirhams (about 58 dollars) to over 1500 dirhams (about 170 dollars), the website reported.
