Dr. Paul Parker, medical examiner of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, wrapped up a 19 April 1935 coroner's inquest by ruling that "Dorothy McGaha Reeves came to her death on April 15th, 1935, of general peritonitis and perforated uterus as a direct result of a criminal abortion performed by Dr. N[elson]. F[rederick]. McNorton, of York County (Yorktown), Virginia, on the 9thday of April, 1935. Death occurred at the Dixie Hospital, Hampton, Virginia, on April 15th, 1935, about 12:20, A. M."
Dr. McNorton was arrested on 15 April but charges were not disclosed. Authorities were led to him based on a deathbed statement given by Reeves, as well as Dr. Parker's inquest findings. The Danville Bee reported that Reeves purportedly went to Dr. McNorton's office for the illegal operation on the evening of 9 April in the company of Nellie Frye. Five days later, without ever having returned to work, Reeves was taken to the hospital where she died the following morning. In addition to Dr. McNorton's arrest, later revealed to be on charges of second-degree murder and performing an illegal operation, Frye was also arrested. She was held as a material witness and also on the charge of being an accessory to the illegal operation.
Dr. McNorton belonged to a noted and influential African American family in Yorktown. His father, … read more »
The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce that digital images for Elizabeth City County (Va.) Chancery Causes, 1747-1913, are now available online through the Chancery Records Index on LVA's Virginia Memory website. Traditional wisdom has always held that not many pre-1865 chancery suits managed to survive the burnings of Elizabeth City County (now the City of Hampton) in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, and the great 1865 Richmond evacuation fire that consumed many locality records sent to the capital for safekeeping. While not all of the records that should have existed still survive, it is fortunate that 366 suits from Elizabeth City County dating 1865 and prior were discovered as part of this processing project allowing for a richer portrait of the locality to emerge.
The earliest surviving suit is that of John Hunt and wife vs. William Hunter, 1747-001, and concerns the estate of William Hunter. Hunt's wife was one of Hunter's children and as such the couple sued for their portion of her father's estate, which consisted of four slaves: Moll, Diana, Jemmie, and an unnamed child. The suit, which commenced in 1744, was continued for several years until it was finally sent on to the General Court in Richmond in 1747. The General Court papers burned completely in Richmond in 1865 so the ultimate disposition of this … read more »
Dr. Paul J. Parker ruled on 11 June 1935, that "James A. Branch came to his death of gun shot wound while gun was in hands of Lewis Smith at No 4 Curry St Phoebus Va [sic]." However, five months later he modified his ruling when he wrote, "James Branch came to his death by a gun shot wound just below the lobe of the left ear, this occurred at the corner of Curry and County Streets, Phoebus, Va." Lack of an explanation for this momentous change amplified the intrigue and portended a unique case in the otherwise straightforward files of Dr. Parker.
As the medical examiner for Elizabeth City County, later the City of Hampton, Dr. Parker was tasked with conducting coroner's inquiries into any sudden, violent, unnatural, or suspicious deaths, or any death which occurred without medical attendance. These inquiries included conducting depositions to determine how the victim came to his or her death and, if so warranted, forwarding his findings to the Elizabeth City County Circuit Court for grand jury consideration.
In the case of James Branch, Dr. Parker, after deposing eleven witnesses, found that Lewis Smith had held the gun that fired the fatal shot. Included in this group of witnesses was Mr. Smith, whom Dr. Parker advised had been charged with murder. Interestingly Dr. Parker then did what … read more »
16 August 2012 is the 100th anniversary of the execution of Virginia Christian for the brutal murder of Ida V. Belote in Hampton, Virginia, on 18 March 1912. Out of the Box featured select documents from the Christian case in September 2010. The 23 September 2010 execution of Teresa Lewis for her role in the murder of her husband, Julian Lewis, sparked new interest in Virginia Christian, who up to that time was the only woman to be executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia since the General Assembly centralized executions at the Virginia State Penitentiary in 1908.
Often in high-profile criminal cases, the victim and victim's family are an afterthought. To mark this infamous anniversary, I decided to write a post on Ida V. Belote. Who was she? What happened to her eight children? Two of her young daughters discovered their mother's body and testified at the coroner's inquisition. What became of them? My search for answers led me to the Belote coroner's inquisition, newspaper articles, and Ancestry.com. What follows is a fragmentary picture of Ida Belote and her family.
Ida Virginia Hobbs, the daughter of James and Harriette Hobbs, was born in March 1861 in North Carolina. Hobbs married James Edward Wadsworth Belote (17 February 1846-6 June 1911) on 5 November 1879 in Northampton County, North Carolina. By 1880 the … read more »
On Tuesday June 14, a team of archivists were in Hampton to assist circuit court clerk Linda Batchelor Smith in completing a records inventory of the court's record room and to transfer selected archival records to the Library of Virginia (LVA) Archive. This visit is but one part of the Circuit Court Records Preservation Program's (CCRP) effort to assist clerks and records officers statewide in managing their records more efficiently.
A records inventory is a tool employed by archivists and records managers to gain intellectual control over a group of records and to help institute more efficient records-keeping practices. Once an inventory is completed, a records analyst will apply relevant records retention and disposition schedules – documents that inform record keepers how long they must keep and maintain certain types of records.
The LVA is charged by the Virginia Public Records Act (PRA) with publishing these records retention and disposition schedules . The PRA also authorizes the LVA's role in ensuring that public records are maintained and available throughout their life cycle. The Library presents workshops, monitors the disposal of non-permanent records, and assists with the transfer of permanent records to the Archives.
Besides helping to better identify hundreds of years of records, the consultation in Hampton also resulted in the transfer of approximately 120 drawers of pre-1913 law and chancery case files to … read more »

Sources close to Prime Minister-elect Binyamin Netanyahu have warned that they anticipate "a tough time" from the Obama administration over the Middle East peace process.
Visiting Israel this week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a clear indication that she expected Israel to do more on both the Palestinian and Syrian fronts.
"Clinton left us with no illusions," said a senior adviser to Mr Netanyahu.
Six weeks since the end of Operation Cast Lead, Palestinian groups are still launching missiles, Hamas is busy replenishing its arsenal and Gilad Shalit remains incarcerated. Israelis are beginning to ask if it was all worth it.
Brigadier-General (res) Shmuel Zakai, former commander of the Gaza Division, fears that politicians will waste the IDF's military victory . "The political leadership has, in the past, proved incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities afforded it by the IDF's achievements."
Israeli tennis star Andy Ram has explained his reasons for deciding to go ahead and play in the Dubai Open after being labelled unpatriotic by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Mr Ram was given a visa to play in the UAE only after a high-profile controversy the previous week over the exclusion of his compatriot, Shahar Pe'er, from the women's tournament.
Ha'aretz quoted the Prime Minister as saying: "It would be highly worthwhile for someone to advise him to demonstrate patriotism and solidarity, and boycott the tournament."
The efforts to secure a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas are to proceed through two different channels in a last-gasp attempt to finalise the deal before a new right-wing government is formed in Israel.
Negotiations are taking place simultaneously in Cairo and Europe through joint mediation by the French and Qatari governments, both of which are eager to deepen their involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Senior figures in Kadima are putting pressure on leader Tzipi Livni to accept Prime Minister-elect Binyamin Netanyahu's offer to participate in a national unity coalition.
The two party leaders met on Sunday and Mr Netanyahu, tasked by President Shimon Peres last Friday with forming Israel's next government, offered Kadima eight ministerial positions — equal to that of Likud — including two out of the three senior portfolios of defence, finance and foreign affairs.
Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu has been asked to form a government and be the next prime minister of Israel.
President Shimon Peres met Mr Netanyahu and Kadima leader Tzipi Livni this morning, and will entrust the former PM with creating a coalition.
Mr Netanyahu is likely to ask Ms Livni and Labo u r party chairman Ehud Barak to join him in a broad administration, although Ms Livni has suggested she will turn down any approach.
The new prime minister will have six weeks to create a cabinet.
The head of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party has publically backed Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu to be the next prime minister of Israel.
Avigdor Lieberman told President Shimon Peres today that his party - which holds 15 seats in the Knesset - would endorse the Likud chairman, providing he could create a broad coalition.
Mr Lieberman said the options were "a broad government, which is what we want. A narrow government, that will be a government of paralysis, but we don't rule out sitting in it.
"And the third option is going to elections, which will achieve nothing."
President Shimon Peres is to spend the coming days trying to convince the leaders of Kadima and Likud to find a way of power-sharing in a national unity government.
Senior members of Kadima and Yisrael Beiteinu are already conducting quiet talks on a possible coalition of the three largest parties in the Knesset.
However, Likud is still trying to form a right-wing government as a first step before offering cabinet places to Kadima.
Israel will refuse to agree a new truce with Hamas unless the release of captured soldier Gilad Shalit is part of the deal.
The decision, approved unanimously by a cabinet vote on Wednesday, came as both Israel and Hamas appeared to toughen their negotiating positions.
The indirect talks over a ceasefire, mediated by the Egyptian government, reached an apparent impasse this week despite an earlier agreement by the Hamas leadership in Gaza to link a prisoner exchange deal to a two-year truce.
Hamas gunmen used last month's conflict in Gaza to murder, kneecap and torture Palestinian political opponents suspected of collaborating with Israel, Amnesty International has reported.
The human rights organisation said they had learnt of at least two dozen cases during Operation Cast Lead in which men were abducted from their homes and later dumped with horrific injuries or found dead in hospitals.

A recent trip back to Christchurch confirmed what we've been hearing: that while still bearing the scars of February's quake, the city is back on its feet as far as welcoming travellers. And that staying in Christchurch for two or three days is now thoroughly worthwhile.
The view from Worcester St into the 'red zone' and Christchurch Cathedral. Image by Errol Hunt.
The central city remains cordoned off, a relatively small area, but one where the city's main shops, restaurants and bars were clustered, not to mention its iconic Cathedral. Here's a wrap of where things are at:
The guidebook
After February's earthquake, our New Zealand guidebook's Christchurch content has been severely compromised (or to put it in NZ terms, it's munted). We've removed from the website any business, activity or landmark that's closed, so if you follow the links below, you'll be able to see what is still operating. (And please let us know if there's anything we've missed!) We've also started a Thorn Tree post to pull together comments from travellers in the city, as businesses re-open or new alternatives appear to fill the gaps.
Sights and activities
Most sights and activities in and around Christchurch remain open, certainly plenty to fill a few days based here. Attractions in the city include the Willowbank wildlife and Maori culture centre, the Antarctic Centre and punting on the Avon river. The Cathedral Square market has reopened at the YMCA carpark on Cashel St, and the displaced Arts Centre market is now at Ferrymead Heritage Centre every weekend. The Art Gallery and Museum will reopen in July and the gondola in October. See here for a constantly updated list. And as always the city is a great base for exploring Akaroa and other nearby localities.
Any traveller in the city since February has spent at least some time looking at some of the damaged buildings. Travellers are joined at the cordon's edge by locals doing the same thing, the mood usually one of somber reflection, as well as simple awe at the sight of some devastated buildings. No-one standing there forgets that deaths occurred in many of these now-ruined buildings.
While a large number of central-city accommodation providers have closed, plenty remain open. See the local tourism website for a complete list of operating accommodation.
The city's thriving downtown eateries were hit hard, although the famous Oxford St restaurants are hoping to open by the end of October. Meanwhile, some operators are filling the gap, including the very traveller-savvy Addington Coffee Coop, the funky Beat St Café and Canterbury Cheesemongers. A good online article gives some recent additions, and a full list of open restaurants can be found here.
Drinking and entertainment
The central city bars are yet to be replaced by any viable alternative, and one common quandary travellers report is a lack of good nightlife options. Other than isolated suburban bars, central city travellers are heading to three main places, none of them world class…
- The bogan bars of Riccarton, 3km west of the city. University students too have turned to these bars for night-time entertainment, prompting the local council to smack a liquor ban on the streets at night. There's decent shopping nearby.
- The more genteel bars of Merivale, 3km northwest of the CBD. A little snooty for our tastes, but near some good eating options.
- A couple of good bars down Lincoln Rd in Addington, just southwest of the CBD.
There are also two magnificent places re-opened through the tunnel at Lyttleton: the wonderful Wunderbar, and the live-performance venue Loons.
Around Christchurch
Other than Christchurch and Lyttleton, wider Canterbury wasn't damaged by February's quake and has remained 'open for business', although like the whole South Island, they've seen a sharp downturn in traveller numbers. Akaroa, Kaikoura and Hanmer are all unaffected and as fabulous as ever, while skiers are sharpening their poles in anticipation of the ski season opening at Methven, Mt Hutt, and other nearby ski fields.
Information and transport
The city information centre has relocated to the Chateau on the Park hotel, near Hagley Park. City buses and intercity buses are operating as usual, and the fabulous TranzAlpine continues to run between the city and the West Coast. More details on transport updates here.
PS. A word about the Rugby World Cup
There's no more rugby-focused part of NZ than Christchurch, and the city took an un-needed extra blow when this year's Rugby World Cup games had to be relocated due to quake damage to the city's stadium. To make sure they're still involved, the city is setting up what's described as a 'fan zone' in the central city in Hagley Park. For the duration of the RWC, there will be music, big-screen live TV, activities, and hordes of Kiwi supporters. If you're in the South Island during the tournament, and want to immerse yourself in the country's national obsession, our advice would be spend a bit of time in Christchurch.
Christchurch is certainly still reeling after February's belly punch, and the locals are understandably sick of all the bloody aftershocks. But there's an air of recovery too. For travellers, Christchurch is again a valid destination in its own right. And for travellers wanting to help, the best way to do so would be to aid the economy by visiting. (And to be perfectly mercenary, you'll seldom find a better chance for experiencing the South Island with reduced tourist numbers.)

Mortgage rates likely to sink on Fed actions
"They're looking to boost profitability," Cecala said. "Many of them already have all the business they can handle for the foreseeable future."
While the Fed's actions are likely to aid those who have saved up to make a down payment on their house, or have enough equity in their homes to refinance, they are less likely to benefit the nearly 14 million American households that owe more on their home loans than their houses are worth, or those on the verge of foreclosure.
The mortgage industry, armed with $75 billion in federal bailout money that President Barack Obama wants to use to prevent foreclosures, is receiving record-high levels of requests for help from troubled homeowners.
More than 13,500 homeowners a day have called the Homeownership Preservation Foundation's 1-888-995-HOPE hot line since the Obama administration's program launched earlier this month, about triple the daily level of calls received before the plan was announced.
Mortgage applications jumped 21 percent last week from a week earlier, as low interest rates fueled refinancing activity, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. About 73 percent of applications came from borrowers seeking to refinance home loans at lower rates.
Also Wednesday, Fannie Mae said the volume of mortgage loans it refinanced in February totaled $41 billion, nearly triple January's volume.
The mortgage finance company said Wednesday it was the largest figure in almost a year as a surge of homeowners took advantage of low interest rates and higher loan limits.
The Fed's actions mirror those being taken across the Atlantic, where the Bank of England last week began buying government bonds from financial institutions as it turned to other ways to help revive Britain's moribund economy. The Bank of England, like the Fed, already had lowered its key interest rate to a record low of 0.5 percent.
AP Business Writers Jeannine Aversa and J.W. Elphinstone contributed to this report.

For 33 years I have been a kindergarten teacher at Perry Elementary School. Although I am at the end of my teaching career, my love for the children at this school drives me to let the community of Perry know why they should approve a new school.
The time is now. The state has offered to pay 52 percent of our building project. If we wait the amount will decrease. The building is old and really needs renovation in many ways. It is crucial to take advantage of this offer.
Technology is the key to our future. Our current building cannot provide what the students need. Common Core Standards have great potential, but teachers and students need the necessary tools and resources to make implementation a success. We don't want the children of Perry to lack in the area of technology.
The school is definitely the heart of the community and what a tremendous opportunity we have in front of us. If your children are grown and you no longer have a connection, pay it forward like others did when your children attended Perry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Also, he took the time to make sure that we had the... more

I am really looking for a natural look I don't want the "fake" look!!! I have narrowed it down to 375cc or 400cc high profile gel implants under the muscle, crease incision. My surgeon told me that 25cc is only 2 tablespoons... more
"Had 3 Augmentations from Dr. Rai to..."
Dr. rai has ruined my breasts. They're uneven, painful and very scarred. He convinced me to go through the nipple and one is ruined plus barely goes hard and is vey sensitive. I've had them done 3 times and he still hasn't fixed the problem. I am now trying to find other doctors to fix his mistake. I am very embarrassed to wear anything that doesn't have a cup in my bra/swimsuit because one... more
"High profile gel 700cc under muscle..."
Its been four days now since surgery. I had so many questions and researched till I was absolutely sure about the direction I would take. I found an image of my ideal boobs, showed Dr Rai and asked how he would go about making those boobs my reality. After trying on several sizers I decided to go with Natrelle's high profile 700cc's gel implants. Im pretty tall, 5'9 and about 145 lb's. My pre... more
"62 Years Old - Vancouver, BC"
After thinking about having the procedure for years and years at the age of 61, I decided that it was time to just get it done. I was given Dr. Pugash's name from a previous patient and after again humming and hawing I went. WOW. What a breath of fresh air to meet a doctor who listened, who answered all my questions thoroughly, who explained everything and advised in such a clear and concise... more
"BREAST AUG - 425cc's high profile..."
So I have decided to go ahead with both a breast augmentation (gummy bear implants) and a brazilian butt lift. I am having both surgeries completed at one time by Dr. Kenneth Hughes in Culver City. I chose him because of his dramatic results. It was ultimately between him and Dr. Jugenburg here in Canada but Dr. Hughes before and after photos took the cake. Both my consultations were via email... more
"22 Years Old 550cc Silicone Gel..."
I am 22 years old and I just had my Breast Augmentation by Dr. Pugash. It has only been 9 days and I am already incredibly happy with my results. I got 550cc silicone gel implants under the muscle. When I first saw him back in December I wanted to have surgery right away. I was only 21 and he suggested I wait until I was 22 so I could get the Silicone implants instead of Saline. I was kind of... more
"29 W/2 Kids(5&6) Went 600cc -..."
Hi, I had a 600cc implant placed under the muscle a week ago and I felt horrible up until yesterday. I'm still in pain but sooo incredibly happy I went through with this life altering decision. I'm excited to see what size I turn out! As for Dr.Pugash, he has an amazing wealth of knowledge, so much in fact that I get the feeling that he thinks everything he tells u in the beginning will answer... more
My motivation to getting implants was to gain more confidence! I was very small chested and every summer was so self conscious in a bathing suit (I always said that I looked like a boy). I had wanted to get my boobs done for years and years and I finally was able to get them done. There were so many pros to getting my boobs done! My confidence went up, my body silhouette changed, I feel more... more
"Lacking Upper Breast Fullness -..."
I am so excited to have my breast augmentation performed by Dr. Pugash at the end of July. He decided on silicone under the muscle but my final appointment for sizing is June 13th and I'm getting nervous for it. So far, him and his staff have been absolutely wonderful, I knew right away I did not need to book any other consultations with other surgeons. In my eyes, all of his before and... more
"Pre-op 32C - BA Journey - 400/425cc..."
I feel like a bit of an outlier on here, but I will admit I had never put much thought into even considering breast implants. Obviously, the thought had flittered across my mind in passing, but in no way seriously at all. I've always been quite satisfied with my breasts. Over the past few months, I have found myself thinking, wouldn't it be nice to have a pair of super awesome boobs?! I've... more

Several women could make a title run at America's Open, which gets underway next week, but it looks like only a quartet of fellas have a realistic chance of going all the way in Flushing.
The ATP will be well represented in New York, but I have to single out defending champion Andy Roddick, reigning two-time Wimbledon titlist Roger Federer and former Open champs Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt as the favorites in the Big Apple.
Roddick, of course, bested Spanish slugger Juan Carlos Ferrero in last year's Open final to capture his first-ever Grand Slam title. The monster-serving American also performed in this year's Wimbledon finale, where he gave way to the mighty Federer in four quality sets.
Roddick's game is perhaps best-suited for the hardcourts, and he's probably my pick to run the table in NYC. You have to like his massive serve, and no doubt the majority of his matches will be under the bright lights at Ashe Stadium, where he'll have a huge advantage with some frenzied home crowd support.
There hasn't been a repeat men's champion in Flushing since Aussie Patrick Rafter in 1997-98 and an American male hasn't won back-to-back in New York since the legendary Pete Sampras turned the trick in 1995-96.
The incomparable Federer is the reigning Wimbledon, Australian Open and Masters Cup champion and running away with the Champions Race, with 887 points (290 points better than Roddick). The world No. 1 "Fed" also leads the circuit with a whopping eight titles this season, including two of the three majors thus far and a trio of Masters Series shields. If he's on, he'll be the man to beat, but something tells me he might fall prior to the final. Call it a hunch.
If Federer does prevail in the Apple, he would become the first man to win three majors in one year since Hall-of-Famer Mats Wilander did so way back in 1988, when the cool Swede nailed down the Aussie, French and U.S. Opens.
The former Open winners Agassi and Hewitt have also been gearing up their games for America's Open, as Hewitt is fresh off his hardcourt title in D.C. last week, while Agassi recently broke a long titleless drought by claiming a Tennis Masters shield in Cincy, where he outlasted the fiery Hewitt in a free- swinging marquee final. The 34-year-old Agassi stunned the soon-to-be-22-year- old Roddick in the Cincy semis. Roddick will turn 22 when the Open commences on Monday.
Agassi captured the U.S. Open in 1994 and 1999 and has appeared in three other finals, while Hewitt made his title run in 2001 and has reached at least the semis in three of the last four years at the USTA National Tennis Center.
I can give honorable mention, only, to a long list of men, but I don't expect to see an Open title coming from the likes of Carlos Moya, Tim Henman, 2003 U.S. Open finalist Juan Carlos Ferrero, David Nalbandian, Sebastien Grosjean, French Open winner Gaston Gaudio, duel Olympic gold medalist Nicolas Massu, former U.S. Open champ and 2004 Aussie Open runner-up Marat Safin, hot German Nicolas Kiefer or Athens silver medalist Mardy Fish. Speedy Argentine and 2004 Roland Garros runner-up Guillermo Coria will not be on hand in the Apple as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery.
When he's on, the big Safin can beat anybody. When he's on! More often than not, in recent months, however, he seems to be off (as evidenced by a first- round loss at Wimby).
The workhorse that is Nalbandian could be a darkhorse in Flushing. He was a point away from the final last year against Roddick and has played strong tennis in his last four majors.
For once, the women's side appears to be more wide open, with the recent health issues concerning Justine Henin-Hardenne, the absence of Kim Clijsters (wrist surgery), and the seeming slippage of the Williams sisters.
The top-ranked Henin-Hardenne returned to action last week after being sidelined for nearly three months while recovering from a bout with a viral illness. She appeared none the worse for wear, however, blowing away the field in Athens to capture gold. The diminutive star (who plays like a giant) currently holds the U.S. Open, Australian Open and Olympic titles and has already nailed down 4/5ths of the career Golden Slam -- the four majors, plus Olympic gold. Only the Wimbledon hardware is missing from her ever- expanding trophy case.
J H-H, who beat Clijsters in last year's all-Belgian Open final, can expect challenges from a boatload of women in Flushing, specifically scalding-hot Lindsay Davenport -- the 1998 Open winner and 2000 runner-up. Davenport has won her last four tournaments, all on hardcourts, and heads into this year's Open with an awesome head of steam...a 17-match winning streak head of steam.
Keep in mind, however, that Davenport hasn't won a major since the 2000 Aussie Open and her lone U.S. Open title was six long years ago. Her health has always been an issue, and nothing tests your physical well-being like two weeks of grueling tennis (a.k.a. a Slam).
Davenport pulled out of this week's Pilot Pen event, citing a "wrist injury."
Aside from J H-H and Davenport, two other former Open champions and the reigning Wimbledon winner could challenge for the title in Flushing. Serena and Venus are lurking, as is 17-year-old Wimbledon queen Maria Sharapova, who shocked Serena in the title match at the All England Club early last month. The cover girl Sharapova's victory at Wimbledon gave surging Russia its second straight Grand Slam champion, to go along with surprise French Open winner Anastasia Myskina.
Serena (knee surgery) and Venus (abdominal strain) both missed last year's Open due to injuries, leaving the door open for the high-flying Henin- Hardenne. Prior to last year, Serena and Venus combined to win the Open four years running (Serena in 1999 and 2002 and Venus in 2000 and 2001), with one of the siblings also finishing as the runner-up in '01 and '02.
Serena, like her big sister, owns two U.S. Open titles, with the first one coming at the tender age of 17 in 1999. Venus has reached at least the semifinals in all six of her previous trips to the Open and is 2-2 in four finals there.
Other serious contenders on the ladies' side are Myskina, Olympic silver medalist Amelie Mauresmo and perhaps even a seemingly-fading Jennifer Capriati, who was two points away from reaching her first U.S. Open final a year ago before the gritty Henin-Hardenne came from behind to win one of the Open's all-time great matches. Can Capriati forget that devastating setback?
The smooth Mauresmo always seems to be on the verge of greatness, but injuries and nerves have usually prevailed in the past. She has a complete all-around game, including that beautiful one-hand backhand, rivaled only by Henin- Hardenne's flyaway one-hander on the women's tour.
Honorable mention among the ladies goes to a trio of Russians -- Roland Garros runner-up Elena Dementieva, rising Svetlana Kuznetsova and last week's Cincinnati runner-up to Davenport, Vera Zvonareva. The up-and-down Dementieva has punishing groundstrokes, but her weak serve makes her vulnerable, especially at the fast-court tourneys such as the Open.
As I mentioned earlier, I like Roddick (or was it Federer?) to win the Open, and Henin-Hardenne and Davenport look like the favorites on the ladies' side, but this scribe's pickin' Serena to land in the Grand Slam win column again. Call it a hunch.

Xenia — The Greene County Department of Job & Family Services is stepping up its efforts to help adoption-eligible kids find a new home.
The department received a $70,000 grant from the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Wendy's Wonderful Kids to hire staff dedicated to helping place the approximately 19 Greene County residents looking for a family. At their regular meeting on Thursday, Greene County Commissioners authorized the department to move forward with the grant.
The staff member, who will be hired in as a case worker, will do things Wendy's way.
"They do training for all of their Wendy's Wonderful Kids," said Beth Rubin, director of job and family services. "They will train our staff their way. From what we heard it's a good program with a lot of successes. They engage in what they call child-focused recruitment activities."
The case worker will spend time getting to know the child, learning his or her history, establishing a relationship and assessing the child.
"In doing so, their goal is to get as many kids who are waiting for adoption with potential adoptive families," Rubin said. There is also a transition period to make sure there are no frosty feelings between child and adoptive parent.
While many associate adoption with younger kids, one of the focal points of Wendy's Wonderful Kids is to help adoption-eligible kids in their teens.
"The Wendy's Wonderful Kids believe very strongly, we do too, you don't give up on a kid when they're 16, 17-years-old," Rubin said. "They still need a forever family."
The grant pays for the salary of the staff person and will cover some associated costs as well, Rubin said. It is a one-year grant, but it could be renewed after that.
Commission President Bob Glaser was concerned that the case worker could be out of work after a year, but Rubin said that has already been addressed.
"There's high turnover," she said of case worker positions within her department.
The department would simply leave a future vacancy vacant for the sole purpose of retaining the Wendy's case worker.
In other commission news, the board cancelled it's next two Thursday meetings July 10, 17 and rescheduled them for July 8 and 15 at 9 a.m.

Space Missions
Our Emissaries Across the Solar System
Since 1957, humanity has launched thousands of spacecraft. These robotic emissaries follow in the footsteps of their predecessors—testaments to our long-lived desire to understand our place in the Cosmos.
There are currently spacecraft exploring Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn, as well as a comet and an asteroid. The Voyager spacecraft are hurtling out of our solar system, while New Horizons speeds toward a 2015 encounter with Pluto. Closer to home, we have probes in lunar orbit, a handful of solar physics missions, space telescopes, and a small army of Earth-observing satellites. In Earth orbit, the International Space Station continues to soar around the planet with a continually staffed crew of astronauts and cosmonauts.
Our space missions pages are your portal to news and facts about our ongoing exploration of the solar system.

Review Methodology and Measures
QOPI® includes a set of quality measures, a specified chart selection strategy, a secure system for data entry, automated data analysis and reporting, and a network of resources for improvement.
Twice per year, staff at participating practices conduct a retrospective review of patient charts. Practicing oncologists and quality experts developed the QOPI quality measures, which are:
- derived from clinical guidelines or published standards
- adapted from the National Initiative on Cancer Care Quality (NICCQ), ASCO/NCCN Quality Measures, ASTRO/ASCO/AMA PCPI Oncology Measures
- consensus-based and clinically relevant
View a summary of the measures:
QOPI practices submit limited data via a secure web-based application. This secure application prompts abstractors through the chart abstraction process.
Following every data collection period, reports that compare practice results to aggregate QOPI results are available within the QOPI web-based application for each participating practice. Practice-specific data are kept strictly confidential. The system reporting interface allows participants to generate reports in various formats based on the measures completed and levels of data entered into the system.
Documentation and Training
Prior to data collection, QOPI participants receive a manual that fully describes the chart selection methodology, sample size, measures, and data abstraction instructions. Definitions of the data elements collected are provided in a printable chart abstraction form. Training slides with audio are posted for each round, with versions tailored for returning participants and newcomers. Additionally, several teleconferences are offered for each round to highlight key points for the round, and provide participants an opportunity to ask questions. ASCO staff are available through the QOPI Help Desk to answer questions before, during, and after data entry.
IRB Approval and HIPAA Compliance
QOPI participation does not require IRB approval in most settings. The QOPI process is HIPAA compliant. A Business Associate Agreement has been developed for participating sites and must be agreed to within the QOPI web based application before data entry is permitted.

We have been putting the Apple iPhone to the test ever since it was launched in the UK. Here's our verdict on Apple's mobile phone and iPod, couple with the contract that O2 insists you take out.
Job application
One area where EDGE functions perfectly well though is with the built-in applications. The Stocks, Weather, Google Maps and - most importantly - Mail, all work without a glitch under EDGE, and perform adequately under GPRS. Even YouTube videos play back reasonably well under EDGE (although the iPhone doesn't allow you to load YouTube videos under GPRS).
Of course, the presence of Google Maps throws up another missing feature of the iPhone, the lack of built-in GPS (Global Positioning System). Unlike 3G this feature is hardly ubiquitous in mobile phones, however, it's very much a consumer technology of the moment and is a big selling point of the iPhone's main rival, the Nokia N95 (which we notice now comes with 8GB of built-in memory to directly match the iPhone.)
The style matters
But for all these failings, the iPhone has met with almost universal acclaim in the Macworld office. While it may be sorely missing some features, the large screen, multi-touch input, effective email, fantastic web browser and the wonderful animated interface (Core Animation and the stripped-down OS X system at work) make up for a lot of shortcomings. While the iPhone lacks the many features found on other phones, it offers something in abundance that no other phone on the market possesses - style.
Of course, this opens up the handset to accusations of style over substance; that the large screen and animated menu gloss over what is a fairly standard device. But we're not convinced the style of the iPhone interface is a bad, or even insignificant thing. While the fantastic menu design gives the iPhone a visual flair we'd associate with Apple, it also provides a level of interaction sorely missing in other mobile phones.
Your finger does almost all the navigation, because the iPhone has only four hardware buttons. Once you power it up, sliding your finger across the screen unlocks the phone. Pinching, a two-finger movement, zooms the part of the screen framed by the pinch. Flick or drag your finger to scroll through menus or web pages. The screen will auto-rotate content between landscape and portrait mode, depending on which application you're using.
For any feature that requires text input, the iPhone displays an on-screen keyboard that you can toggle between qwerty text keys and numbers/symbols. It's still no match for the hardware keyboard you get on a BlackBerry or Treo, but it certainly beats any standard mobile phone keypad.
Most importantly, perhaps, the iPhone works well as a phone. Touch-screen dialling is easy enough, although getting to a numeric keypad requires two taps of the phone icon (the first tap just brings up your contacts). We found this two-step process annoying when attempting to dial a number directly. The iPhone lacks voice dialling, and we're not convinced we could successfully dial blind, as we can on a hardware keypad.
Most calls sounded good, although the speakerphone is faint (as are the headphones when used for audio calling, oddly). The device also gets overly warm with constant use, and you'll need to wipe smudges from the glass screen frequently with the included cloth. The screen is smart enough to darken and deactivate some controls while you're on a call, so you don't accidentally press something with your cheek. We also loved the visual voicemail feature, because it lets you choose which voice messages (identified by number or address-book name) to listen to first. However, we wish that the phone also had multimedia messaging and instant messaging capabilities (it allows SMS text messaging, of course).
The SMS text messaging uses an iChat style interface, which comes as a revelation. Never before has SMS chat been so great to look at, and so easy to perform. The only problem is that - like the free iChat - it encourages you to text away, which stands at odds with the measly 200 free text messages included in the basic £35 per month contract. After they're used up you will be paying 12p a text - or be forced to upgrade to the £45 a month contract to get 500 free texts.
Visual Voicemail is another impressive feature, albeit in a less immediately dynamic way than mobile internet or email. After setting up the system it records missed calls and messages in an email style interface. It enables you to quickly skim through messages to home in on the one you want, which is a much faster and more impressive system than phoning up your voicemail and pressing the delete button endlessly.

CEU extends win run to 7
Centro Escolar demolished City University of Pasay, 81-31, Tuesday night to score its seventh victory in as many games in the National Athletic Association of Schools, Colleges and University (Naascu) at RTU Gym.
The Scorpions, setting their sights on the title which slipped from their hands last year, seemingly had a scrimmage against the Eagles who were never in the game.
CEU led beyond recall, 79-22, on a triple by playmaker Jonathan Costanos before coasting along to hand CUP its sixth loss in seven games.
Later, defending champion St. Clare drubbed New Era, 84-41, for its sixth win in seven games.
In the other seniors game, Fatima defeated Rizal Technological, 62-58, to improve to 4-3, tying its victim.

by James Slater - In what is exciting and great news for the sport of boxing, it is soon to be officially announced how the legendary 5th St. Gym in Miami, Florida is to reopen its doors later in the summer.
Once THE boxing gym of the sport and home to such all-time greats as Muhammad Ali, Archie Moore, Sonny Liston and countless others fistic immortals, The 5th St. Gym will reopen its doors and be a boxing gym as well as a veritable museum, crammed full of memorabilia that will be denoted by masterful old trainer Angelo Dundee..
Kindly taking time out to speak with me about the momentous occasion the reopening of the world famous gym is, boxing manager/promoter Tom Tsatas informed me further on the whole, hugely interesting development.
Here is what Tom had to say earlier today:
James Slater: It's great to speak with you again, Tom. The big news is the reopening of The 5th St. Gym. When will the reopening take place?
Tom Tsatas: It's a pleasure, James. Yes, it's all happening, just as I told you (off the record a few months back). I'm so excited! The announcement will come at The Hall of Fame this weekend, and we will do a press release as well. The gym will probably open in mid-July, that's what we're working on - and the grand opening will likely be in the middle of August.
J.S: The grand opening is sure to be a real event!
T.T: It sure will. They're going to close off the street that day, Muhammad Ali is coming with Angelo [Dundee] and the governor of Florida is coming and highly interested also. There will also be four A-list Hollywood celebrities, who have confirmed they'll be there - they asked me not to name them yet. David Haye, if he has no fight on, will also come. As a matter of fact, before he was world champion he used to train in Miami. He and Fres [Oquendo] sparred a hundred or more rounds I guess. It will be a fantastic day. I have to keep pinching myself, I really do!
J.S: Talking of Angelo Dundee, who of course ran the gym back in the day - will he be involved once the gym reopens?
T.T: Absolutely; he and Ferdie Pacheco. Angelo ran the place with his brother, Chris, and he and Ferdie will be in the gym as much as they can. Angelo is 88, but he's in great shape and he still has it. He says he wants to find one more great champion, and he still has the passion. You can go to angelodundee.com and he will also reply to fans' emails. Ferdie's also really excited about it all, I was talking with him for two hours the other day. Angelo's protégé, Matt Baiamonte, he'll be the main trainer at 5th St, and he's the linkage to the gym. Dino Spencer and myself make up the rest of the team.
J.S: You will have some big name fighters training there too?
T.T: Absolutely. It will take a little time, but back in the day, ALL the great fighters came through the 5th St. Gym, and the energy, the name of the place, will ensure that fighters will come again. Obviously there are a lot of great Cuban fighters out in Miami, and with my connections I'll be trying to get as many fighters as I can. Any fighters from the South Florida area, we want them to come. It's just a great place to train, right on the beach, in the same place as before - 5th and Washington. It won't just be boxing though.
J.S: You'll have MMA guys working there, too? And classes, of course, for people to get fit?
T.T: Yeah, we'll have some MMA there, and some Jujitsu. But also, Angelo is going to donate a load of his memorabilia, photos from the Ali days - basically stuff you simply can't get any longer - and you'll be able to get a real sense of the history of the gym. It will be a cross between boxing training and memorabilia. The gym will almost be like a museum.
J.S: Not to pry, but who funded the reopening of the gym? Was that mainly you yourself?
T.T: A lot of that came from me and we got funding from a couple of investors who love boxing. A lot of people really want this to happen, and they're all pitching in. It's just a great, great thing. I mean, everyone, even women in their sixties, know of The 5th St. Gym. They all know where it is! The energy of the place is still there, no doubt about it. We had an old guy, he must have been in his late-seventies, and he had a tear in his eye when he found out about the plans for the gym; he couldn't believe it. We won't try and tell you it will be the same as it was before, in the '50s and 60's, but we will keep the spirit of the old gym, as well as adding or own legacy to 5th St. We're all young guys, and we are so excited and enthusiastic about what we're doing. I can't actually remember the last time I was this excited!
J.S: It really is a great thing for the sport, and I can see you getting nothing but great and supportive publicity. As you know, The 5th St. Gym was THE number-one gym in all of boxing at one time. Today, Freddie Roach's Wild Card gym seems to be at the top. Can The 5th St. Gym rise back to the top?
T.T: Well, first of all, Freddie's a great guy. He also said he'd try and come and support us when we open. I guess you can say Wild Card is the best gym in the world right now, and Freddie's earned that. But there is room in the country for a number-one and a number-two I think. We don't mind being number-two. Really, though, we don't want to compete with anyone. We like the way the atmosphere is at Wild Card, with everyone so welcome and everything. We'd like our gym to be like that. The 5th Street Gym was the university of boxing back in the day, and it was the university of Chris and Angelo. We are so happy to be reopening that.
J.S: That grand opening is sure to be some big event, too. I take it you will have a lot of media interest?
T.T: Like I say, the street will be closed off and the governor of Florida will be attending. Sports Illustrated and a number of other publications want to do a story on us and you can see why. I mean, Muhammad Ali was THE number-one figure of the 20th century. People from all over the world know him and this is the gym where he trained with Angelo. It's a real honour to be part of this, it really is.
J.S: It's been great and also fascinating talking to you about the legendary gym, Tom. I wish you good luck with the big project. I think it's nothing but good for boxing.
T.T: Thank you. I'll keep you posted on developments before the grand opening.

Round Up: Online Markets and Galleries
Looking to sell your wares online? Or simply to shop for handmade gifts? After writing about DaWanda today, I thought it would be helpful to pull together some of the current online marketplaces and some online galleries out there aimed at making your life easier when it comes to shopping for high quality handmade. Here are some that come to mind. Please let me know if I've left anyone out!
Where products are offered in individual shops and you can purchase them directly from the shop owner via the website.
1. Etsy (USA)
2. DaWanda (Germany)
3. Georgie Love (Australia)
4. 1000 Markets (USA)
5. Leeloo (Australia)
6. NEW! Coriandr (UK)
7. NEW! Folksy (UK)
8. Modamuse (Australia)
9. My eHive (UK & Ireland)
10. Felt (New Zealand)
11. Breslo (Romania)
12. Signerat (Sweden)
13. Fler (Czech Republic)
14. Art Fire (USA)
These websites 'curate' stores and link you to the seller. If you want to purchase an item, you will then be directed to an outside website to complete the actual transaction.
1. Trunkt (USA)
2. Indie Fixx Galleria (USA)
3. Poppytalk Handmade (Canada)
4. Modish (USA)
If you know of others that I should add, please comment with the links below. I'll add them into this post so we can have it to refer to in the future as a complete guide to online markets and galleries online. Weeee! Kiss!

They seem to be kinda cool, newish, but it's free to join, they don't charge a posting fee, and don't take commission. Pretty cool. Don't know if it will really take off with all the publicity that dwanda, and etsy get, but maybe one day.

Leeloo is SO grateful and honoured to be part of such a list – thanks for including us Holly!
We've recently added a US Dollar (from Australian dollars) conversion tool within each item to the web site too – to give you an idea of how much you'll pay once the conversion has occurred to your credit card. We've also included Euros and Japanese Yen!
Take advantage of the exchange rate – our dollar isn't doing so well against the greenback right now so grab an Aussie designer bargain!
Lots of love

Hey, nice round up. I never knew there were so many and they seem to be more and more coming all the time. I'd be really interested to know from your audience what they think of the different services (pros and cons etc.) and whether the geographical element is important (as the Folksy community have recently mentioned) or whether it's other features.

As the owner/creator of LolliShops.com, I'd like to say that I don't feel LolliShops is in the same arena as all those other marketplaces.
We are a juried, niche market. We have a very significant "boutique" feel and we advertise in very specific magazines like
Somerset Studio and Artful Blogging
Not everyone can "try us out" because we are not an alternative to Etsy–we are a community driven venue–

I eat them afterwards
I sold all my games when I was younger for quick money to buy new games, but now as an adult I really wish I still had them, so starting with the games I have now (Wii U/3DS), I vowed to never sell a game again and keep them all in my collection for my son to enjoy too as he grows up. Who knows when I'll have an urge down the road to replay one..plus I like collecting things.
Playing: Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8
I have never sold a game. I prefer physical copies, because I want the option to sell them, if I want or need to, but I hang onto everything. I don't replay "finishable" games, either, since my backlog is fairly substantial and new games that interest me come in faster than I complete them. (Same with novels.)
Generally, if I like a game I keep it and every once in awhile I'll go back and play it again. Only if I don't like a game will I trade it in.
i usually sell long single player games like rpgs that i only play once .. but shorter platform games i love to keep and replay
I love collecting things too. But if it's something that's only going to devalue over time I sell it while i can get my money back. And I understand missing stuff you had from the 80s and stuff but nowadays it's a lot easier to get stuff again so if I wanted a 3ds game again I could just get it for cheap off eBay.

This is why I have digital. I like coming back to my games to play again... But I'm too weak to resist the temptation to trade in. At least with a digital collection, you have the weight of your ENTIRE collection to weigh against you.
If people want the Wii U Cheaper, and the cost of the White model is already the price of the 3DS XL, are they saying they want it the same price as a 3DS?
DESMONDmoonbear posted...
I eat them afterwards
I thought about going digital but 2 things stop me:
1. Nintendo is way behind the times as far as accounts go. You can't buy multiple systems and just log in and redown your games like you can on ps3/ps4/vita/360/xbone. I have multiple 3ds/2ds systems and it pisses me off that I can only have my stuff on one.
2. I've made SO much money back on selling my large collections, I'd be depressed if all my stuff was digital and someday I didn't want it anymore but couldn't sell it. I already feel this way about the few digital games I've purchased (VC games, animal crossing, the old FF games on my PSP...)

Help the Vets, Now!
"Help the Vets, Now" was the theme of the Saint Augustine Tea Party's presence at 4th of July celebration. During the course of the day, those who could be identified as veterans were invited to come to the Dartmouth for a photo op at 5 PM. A gusty thunderstorm cleared out most of the people in attendance. Only the hardy Tea Party personnel remained. Barbara Patterson, a Navy nurse during the Vietnam era, attended in her nurse's uniform. Lucky Howe, the SATP's only WWII member, spent his afternoon promoting the Tea Party effort. Lucky saw action in the South Pacific during World War II. Rod Heikkinen, a 20 year naval submarine veteran and Paul Hooker, an Army veteran who served in Europe during the World War II occupation, were on board.
Special recognition to Mary Basso Long
Also on board the Dartmouth was Mary Basso Long. Mary, now in her nineties, served as an Army nurse during World War II. She was assigned to George S. Patton's third Army. On October 22, 2012, she received the Legion of Honor from the French government for the effort she made in the liberation of France.
A petition to speed up VA acceptance for Vets
Volunteers of the St. Augustine Tea Party circulated petitions among Fourth of July celebrants. Scores of signatures were obtained, as shown in the photos to the left. One volunteer expressed disappointment in what appeared to be resistance, of some, to sign on. "It's hard to understand why people would resist signing a petition to speed up the process time for vets who need medical assistance. They deserve better," he continued. On display near the table where the petitions were being signed, were the signs that the Town Criers typically carry on St. George Street. The Criers report that "The Big Red Sign", which states that Barack Obama is a Communist, was present on the site. [See http://www.examiner.com/article/i-agree-obama-is-a-communist] It was intentionally not displayed. It was there in case there was a lull and the Criers could make a tour on St. George Street. That lull never came. Even though the sign was stored under the table, people, particularly the millennium generation, would ask if they could photograph it, or be photographed with it. One young man asked, "Why are you hiding it?" A sampling of interest in the sign is shown in the pictures to the left.
