Bio and Links
I am a native resident of Dayton, Ohio, son of Myron Dale and
Emma Lucille (Smith) Poling
. My favorite hobby has always been genealogy, but I started seriously studying my roots in 1993. I am single and retired after 30 combined years of service with the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts & Prosecuting Attorney offices. I enjoy entering information at Find A Grave. I have entered as much as I could find information on six cemeteries; Vernon Baptist Cemetery, Clinton County, Ohio; St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery, North Star, Ohio; Roxanna Cemetery, Roxanna, Ohio; Mount Holly Cemetery, Mount Holly, Ohio; McKnight Cemetery, Spring Valley, Ohio; Spring Valley Cemetery, Spring Valley, Ohio; and Sections A, B & C of Woodland Cemetery, Xenia, Ohio. I have a full subscription to ancestry.com, and access to other sources. I like to research a persons name and add a small bio where possible. Please contact me with corrections / suggestions / links for my entries. Also contact me if you would like me to transfer a relatives memorial page to you.
Personal Note: I do not see Find A Grave as an internet game, trying to get high numbers of memorials & pictures added. I have seen people who have been a member of Find A Grave for 1 year and have added 100,000 memorials. Then when you review their memorials I find names mis-spelled, birth & death dates wrong, either no places of birth & death or they are listed in the bio instead of the proper fields provided by Find A Grave. Then I see pictures upside down, part of the stone not in the picture, pictures on wrong graves. Then there are pictures that haven't been cropped and you see more grass than stone and you can't even read the stone. I have been a member of Find A Grave for over 10 years and I average 10 memorials weekly. I take time to research the person to see if I can add middle names, maiden names, full birth & death dates, places of birth & death, and a small bio. My advice is to please slow down & proof read your work before clicking save. Yes, I do make mistakes and appreciate you pointing them out to me. My mistakes are because I am human and not because I am in a hurry to get a high number of memorials & pictures added. Also, if you take time to proof read your work, and do a little research on the person you are creating a memorial page for, you won't receive dozen upon dozens of Edits requests.
Thank you for taking time to read my bio.

Hi John, I added Angeletta (Letta) Monnette, nee Smith several years ago and today I linked her to her parents - who you added (Henry B. Smith and Cassandra Smith in Spring Valley Cemetery). Are you any relation to Letta? She was married to a cousin, Arthur Monnette, but we don't have a picture of her or Arthur. Any chance you might if you are related?

Hadn't seen this one before. Veks constantly flipping styles and changing it up.
Just an R...Graffiti // Tuesday, October 09, 2012
A rather large upside down "R" passing by and the irony is you know who it is. Wonder if there are four other cars with the rest of Mecro's letters placed on them?
All you need sometimes....Graffiti // Tuesday, October 09, 2012
Is a simple, elegant handstyle, displaying your name to get the point across. A fine example being the following Hindue hand.

Playful, fun, and kid friendly. Sawe's graffiti keeps us smiling and uplifted.

Two timeless pieces painted by Dero and Westo incorporating Tigger and The Pink Panther at the NYC Graffiti Hall of Fame.
Now Streaming RoidsGraffiti // Monday, October 08, 2012
Roids makes his spray paint pieces look like they were created in Adobe Illustrator. Is that a cracked piece of a CD as an "O"? A crossed out VHS tape? There will be plenty of people shaking their heads saying "dahm" after viewing this.

More revitalization improvements for the city of Detroit courtesy of the spray duo, Rime and Chaos.
Nostalgic for the 90'sGraffiti // Monday, October 08, 2012
It's cool when writers can give some sort of context to their work. Kems speaks on this particular piece, "In the late 90's early 2000 we went on a killing spree of white filled pieces, not sure why? Doing this piece gave me flash backs of the Dojo production in Atlanta with Ges and Totem. The good times never last long enough. Fuck it, lets keep it moving."

· EnerNOC announced a new 10-year contract with PacifiCorp to deliver approximately 185 megawatts of electric reduction capability in Idaho and Utah, with the potential to expand into additional states in the future. PacifiCorp is a leading utility serving approximately 1.7 million customers in six Western states, providing electric service in Idaho and Utah as Rocky Mountain Power. EnerNOC says the contract represents one of the largest outsourced demand response programs in North America and its largest single contract in the agricultural sector. Read more >>
· Open Systems International has been selected by Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative to supply an advanced Distribution Management System for their members, based on OSI's state-of-the-art monarch (Multi-platform Open Network ARCHitecture) platform.

· Siemens Canada has won an order from Samsung Renewable Energy and Pattern Energy Group to supply and commission 124 wind turbines for the South Kent wind project.

Nearly three in five of Claims Supervisors in the United States are seasoned employees who have more than 10 years of experience in the field. Pay ranges from $41K to $90K per year, and the average comes out to $64K per year. Total cash compensation to Claims Supervisors bottoms out near $41K and approaches $90K on the high end; the biggest paychecks include approximately $10K from bonuses and almost $13K from profit sharing. This group's pay is mainly influenced by the specific employer, followed by the particular city and years of experience. Most Claims Supervisors report high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to almost all, and a large number earn dental coverage. Women make up the majority of Claims Supervisors (67 percent) who completed the questionnaire.

Claim supervisors oversee a staff of service representatives as they do intake on claims that clients present to the company. These supervisors help reduce the backlog of claims, communicate with their employees and clients about claim issues, instruct their employees and clients on the terms of service for insurance policies, and make decisions regarding the nature and validity of claims that are difficult for front-line employees to judge. Claims supervisors are also in charge of monitoring the progress of their staff and reporting that progress to upper management. Additionally, they may also train new subordinates.Read More...
Claims supervisors often review recorded client calls and documents to check for accuracy on behalf of the employee and validity on behalf of the client. They must also be ready to handle client calls or inquiries in need of elevation, whether at the request of the subordinate or the client. These positions require an extensive knowledge of policies, benefits, and terms of the firm's services. Claims supervisors work in a variety of fields, though most of these positions related to health, automotive, home, and other types of insurance services. These individuals usually work a full-time shift during regular business hours in an office environment.
Claims supervisors typically need an associate's degree or at least three years of related work experience for this position. Employers may also prefer previous management experience, as well as a bachelor's degree in a related field. Communication skills and proficiency in basic computer software are also preferred.
Claims Supervisors seeking a sizable paycheck can earn the most at Geico, where the average salary comes to $77K.
The smallest paychecks in the field are found at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, where the median salary is a mere $32K, less than half of the top paying employer's rate.
Professional skills reported by Claims Supervisors are few in number. Most notably, facility with Complex Litigation Case Management and People Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 30 percent and 5 percent, respectively. People Management is a skill commonly found among those who know Claim Handling.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $50K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $61K. Claims Supervisors claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $68K. Claims Supervisors who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $73K.

Whether he retains the crown or not is irrelevant to him at this stage.He will mark down Laguna 2012 as one of his fondest memories for sure. He was pretty confident all weekend. The lefty track causing less chatter. It was still a tough job beating George and Dani though,especially balancing the tire gamble against the track temperature.
The irony. Stoner's last duel at Laguna ends with Rossi in the gravel at the corkscrew on the Rossi Ducati. Sure it wasn't a duel with Rossi but they did line up on the same grid.
2007,2011 and 2012. A Laguna triple. Nice.

New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events. The study by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego provides strong evidence that a glacial ice cap, about half the size of the modern day glacial ice sheet, existed 91 million years ago during a period of intense global warming. This study offers valuable insight into current day climate conditions and the environmental mechanisms for global sea level rise.
The new study in the Jan. 11 issue of the journal Science titled, Isotopic Evidence for Glaciation During the Cretaceous Supergreenhouse, examines geochemical and sea level data retrieved from marine microfossils deposited on the ocean floor 91 million years ago during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum. This extreme warming event in Earths history raised tropical ocean temperatures to 35-37C (95-98.6F), about 10C (50F) warmer than today, thus creating an intense greenhouse climate.
Using two independent isotopic techniques, researchers at Scripps Oceanography studied the microfossils to gather geochemical data on the growth and eventual melting of large Cretaceous ice sheets. The researchers compared stable isotopes of oxygen molecules (d18O) in bottom-dwelling and near-surface marine microfossils, known as foraminifera, to show that changes in ocean chemistry were consistent with the growth of an ice sheet. The second method in which an ocean surface temperature record was subtracted from the stable isotope record of surface ocean microfossils yielded the same conclusion.
These independent methods provided Andre Bornemann, lead author of the study, with strong evidence to conclude that an ice sheet about 50-60 percent the size of the modern Antarctic ice cap existed for about 200,000 years. Bornemann conducted this study as a postdoctoral researcher at Scripps Oceanography and continues this r

When things aren't getting done, that's when the boss takes over. And that's the case in New York as MSG chairman James Dolan has now involved himself in the Carmelo Anthony trade talks.
According to the New York Daily News, Dolan has direct negotiations with Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke regarding Anthony.
"I would think that at this point everyone is looking to take credit if Carmelo comes to New York," a Knicks source tells the newspaper.Well that's an interesting way of putting it. So Dolan is just looking to create a little goodwill with fans? How can you blame him though with the repeated disasters that have happened under his regime.
Really, it's not a bad move by Dolan. General managers can hem and haw over players and picks all day long, but nothing is stopping the bosses from getting involved to get something done. So Dolan stepped right over Masai Ujiri's head and called up Kroenke to try and advance the talks. We all know Melo wants to be in New York so Dolan is trying to find out what it'll take to make that happen.
One thing the report mentions that is certainly interesting is that Dolan still talks with Isiah Thomas to which the Daily News speculates that this could mean Thomas is advising Dolan on the Melo talks. Thomas has a good relationship with William Wesley who works for CAA. Carmelo is represented by Leon Rose, who is also part of CAA.
As Ken Berger first reported, there is a deal on the table between the Wolves, Knicks and Nuggets that would send Anthony to New York. However, that deal isn't really all that close to happening, according to multiple outlets.
The Lakers have reportedly made inquiries about Anthony and have offered Andrew Bynum straight up for the Denver swingman. To me, that reeks of a Denver leak trying to up the ante for the Knicks. The Nuggets are trying to increase leverage there, no doubt.
The problem with the current deal is that the Nuggets aren't getting near what they had in the previous Nets deal that fell through. Right now, the biggest piece other than Minnesota's first round pick is Wilson Chandler from the Knicks. And as the Daily News reports, Chandler isn't totally healed from a repaired left ankle.
So even if the Nuggets like Chandler, this issue with his ankle could be a hangup in getting a deal done. Chandler is a restricted free agent this summer (if he gets a qualifying offer, which he will), but his ankle situation could affect his offers too.

2015 Super Bowl Odds
Super Bowl Odds Babes
Super Bowl XLIX Betting Odds
Super Bowl odds are the numbers every sports bettor craves. They are the little figures that determine the payout for those who place successful wagers. Analysts spend hours, and sometimes even days, researching and determining Super Bowl odds that will be used in Las Vegas casinos and online sportsbooks. Every football enthusiast knows that understanding Super Bowl odds is paramount to success in betting on the biggest single sporting event of the year. Even if the Super Bowl is the only time of the year you participate in sports betting, you need to have a good handle on Super Bowl odds.

Bet New England Patriots: Point Spread -1 --- Money Line -115
Bet Settle Seahawks: Point Spread +1 --- Money Line -105
Over 48 -110 --- Under 48 -110
In the strictest definition, Super Bowl odds are the numbers that state the likelihood of a particular outcome occurring. For example, if oddsmakers believe the New England Patriots have a good chance at winning the Super Bowl, they might list that team's Super Bowl odds at 2 to 1. One important thing to realize about Super Bowl odds is that they change throughout the season according to the performance of the team, the public opinion, and the number of people placing bets on certain odds. Sportsbooks adjust the betting lines in an attempt to maintain a balance between the bets on each side of the game; therefore, the Super Bowl odds change as the betting lines are adjusted.

If you would like to increase your chances at winning a Super Bowl bet, whether you are wagering in your office pool, at a casino, or through an online sportsbook, you should track Super Bowl odds and stay up to date on the latest football news throughout the season. Player injuries are often a major factor in the adjustment of the Super Bowl odds. For example, if the star quarterback for the Buffalo Bills were to be taken out of play toward the end of the season, and the Bills were previously favored to win the Super Bowl, their odds would be shifted accordingly.
Hundreds of Super Bowl proposition bets, futures and betting lines at Sportsbook.ag!
Fortunately, it is relatively easy to stay current with Super Bowl odds. You can find frequently updated Super Bowl odds posted at your favorite online sportsbook, at any of the hundreds of football and sportsbook forums on the Internet, or even in your local newspaper.

VA Tech Wabag Declines in Mumbai as Higher Costs Weigh on Profit
Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- VA Tech Wabag Ltd. fell the most in almost two years in Mumbai trading after India's biggest maker of water treatment plants reported quarterly profit that missed estimates.
VA Tech shares slumped 4.9 percent, the most since Dec. 20, 2011, after the company reported a second quarter profit of 174.2 million rupees ($2.8 million) yesterday. That fell short of the 207 million-rupee median of seven analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Total costs rose 37 percent to 4.37 billion rupees compared with a year earlier, the Chennai-based company said in a statement to the stock exchanges. Revenue from its Indian operations remained flat, at 1.56 billion rupees compared with 1.52 billion rupees a year earlier.
"Despite strong order book, standalone revenues were flat year-on-year (18 percent below our estimates), showing signs of an execution slowdown in India," Nitin Bhasin and Tanuj Mukhija, analysts at Ambit Capital Pvt., wrote in a note to clients today. They maintained a buy rating on the shares.
VA Tech has orders valued at more than 20 billion rupees including in India, Egypt, the Philippines and Romania, the company said in a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange today.
Net sales rose 34 percent to 4.65 billion rupees, it said.
VA Tech's shares closed at 535 rupees apiece at the end of the day's trade.

Fringe Presidential Candidates Complain They Are Pushed Aside Eugene McCarthy's Upset of President Johnson in 1968 Frequently Cited as Proof That an Unknown Can Sometimes Make Big Difference. US POLITICS
Elizabeth Ross, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
DEMOCRATIC presidential candidate Larry Agran arrives by car at a campaign event on a drizzly Saturday afternoon, quickly abandons his search for an umbrella, and dashes across the lonely parking lot in the rain.
It isn't always bright and sunny on the campaign path for president of the United States. But it's especially dreary for lesser-known candidates, like Mr. Agran, to compete against the five major Democratic hopefuls now campaigning in earnest before the Granite State's Feb. 18 primary.
Agran, former mayor of Irvine, Calif., has been campaigning hard ever since he set up headquarters here in the Granite State last fall and claims he's just as serious as any one of the "major" candidates. He is already on the primary ballot in 27 states.
But the media have primarily focused attention on the big-time candidates, including Democrats: Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas, US Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, former US Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts, former Gov. Jerry Brown of California, and US Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa; and Republicans: President George Bush and political commentator Patrick Buchanan.
Thus, Agran and other serious minority candidates here seem to be fighting a losing battle as they struggle for party recognition, debating opportunities, and air time against their better-known Democratic counterparts.
"All I've asked for is the opportunity, on a relatively equal footing, to compete with the others, measure my ideas, my intellect, my approach to government against theirs, and let the people decide," Agran says.
Agran is not alone in his frustration. There are a total of 62 presidential candidates on the Granite State ballot, including 36 Democrats, 25 Republicans, and one Libertarian. Of that lot, there are probably eight to 12 serious Democratic candidates, says Agran.
But the few small-time, albeit serious, candidates here are ignored and lumped in with the so-called publicity-seeking "fringe" candidates.
The high number of candidates may be due to the ease with which one can get on the primary ballot. Basically, all a candidate needs is $1,000.
"The field is wide open," says William Sneider, a visiting professor of American politics at Boston College. "Most of the people who are running are not running seriously and think: 'Gee, for $1,000 I can tell my children I ran for president.' "
But Agran complains that serious minority candidates aren't being treated fairly. At one state's Democratic Party convention in November, Agran was allotted only five minutes to speak instead of the 20 minutes given the major candidates. When his five minutes were over, his microphone was unplugged and music was played to drown out his voice. Last month, he was not invited to speak at a New Hampshire health-care forum with the other major candidates. When Agran stood up and demanded to be heard, he and another minority candidate, Lenore Fulani, were eventually summoned to come forward and participate in the forum.
"If you have something to say and you're running for president, I think you should be heard," says Madelyn Chapman, press secretary for Ms. …

It appears to us, from action 11 of the BEPS Action Plan, that the OECD has not yet given up on continued economic analysis of existing data to determine the scale of BEPS — and that the objective now is to establish methodologies to collect and analyse data on BEPS, and to focus on actions to address it. Our commentary is below.
19 August 2014
The OECD's request for input invites public comments regarding work on establishing methodologies to collect and analyse data on BEPS and the actions to address it but ...
it's largely targeted at academics. It may be useful at this stage though to see a commitment to principles that any BEPS measure should satisfy that would emphasize exploitation of existing data (including new transfer pricing and country-by-country information) rather than imposing additional reporting burdens on business.
The findings may not be that obvious and there could be a paradox that BEPS increases corporate tax revenues. The scale of productive activity in the host country could be greater in a similar way that it has been found that reductions in the statutory corporate tax rate have not reduced the tax to GDP ratio in many OECD countries.
There should be another opportunity to comment when the OECD sets forth proposed BEPS metrics in a future consultation document.
10 September 2013
The action point also recognises the importance of taking into account the need to respect taxpayer confidentiality, although there remain concerns …
about the security of data transmission and handling and a level of scepticism from business on use of data by some tax authorities. There may, for example, be commercial sensitivities around new ventures which aren't respected and disclosure of certain data may have an impact on price-sensitive information.
2 September 2013
Care will be needed to ensure that any new types of data to be collected for the purposes of assessing BEPS, and actions to address it, don't …
impose a significantly greater burden on business. That includes also any reference to more public reporting on a 'country by country' basis or otherwise.
28 August 2013
It makes considerable sense to try to work out what additional data would be needed in order to provide trend and impact information in future …
The G8 conclusions of the Northern Ireland summit included: commitments on reporting by large companies to tax authorities according to an agreed template; beneficial ownership registers; and automatic sharing of information. So it is possible that requests for information from business could be moulded into those requirements.
26 August 2013
The OECD's February 2013 report on BEPS considered available studies and found little of substance to shed light on…
the scale and impact of BEPS. It seems the OECD has not yet given up on continued economic analysis of that data — and that the objective now is to establish methodologies to collect and analyse data on BEPS and to focus on actions to address it.
19 July 2013
There is recognition that there has been a lack of hard evidence to quantify the extent to which governments lose substantial corporate tax revenue …
because of planning aimed at eroding the taxable base and/or shifting profits to locations where they are subject to a more favourable treatment. The Plan seeks to correct this in future and also to enable analysis of the impact of the various actions which are implemented. Part of this work will require an assessment of the kind of data which taxpayers are required to report to tax authorities.
It is welcome that the action, which will take two years to deliver, identifies the need for taxpayer confidentiality to be respected and for the administrative burden on business to be considered.

Too much talk?
Our Monday guy Sam Schneiderman, broker owner of Greater Boston Home Team, is back to discuss how much a seller or seller's agent should talk when showing a house.
When a prospective buyer views a home or condo for sale, how much talk from the seller or listing agent is enough and how much is too little?
Below is a partial list of the things that I have heard listing agents ask or say to buyers. In the parenthesis that follow some of their comments Ive included the real question that is often hidden behind the agents more Innocent question.
- Discuss potential improvements or modifications to the building that the buyer can make to each room in minute detail, often without disclosing that a variance would be required or lack of knowledge that such a modification would never get permitted.
- Discuss ways that the buyer can potentially decorate the home or show off the existing ugly decor.
- Talk about the way the current owners or the previous occupants, used the house for their family.
- Point out the obvious bathroom, master bedroom or walk in closet, etc.
- Ask the following questions to try to qualify my buyers:
o Where do you live now? (How well do you know the area?)
o What do you do for a living? (Trying to guess your income range or qualifications.)
o Do you have children? How many? (Does this house have enough bedrooms?)
o How old are your kids? Boys or girls? (Does this house have enough bedrooms? What sports and other programs can the agent highlight?)
o Are you looking only in the Brigham School district? (How important is this location to you?)
o Have you been looking long? (Are you desparate to buy the right home or are you a problem buyer?)
Sometimes, the agent will stand talking away between the buyers and the doorway to the room that the buyers are trying to leave or see. Meanwhile, all the buyers want to do is look at the house to see if the floor plan and amenities will work for their needs.
On the other hand, there are times that agents do not answer the obvious question that any buyer or buyers agent would be thinking in that room (i.e. is there hardwood under the carpet or does that two foot water stain on the ceiling mean that there is a current or past water problem?)
In many communities, buyers agents can get into homes for sale using lockboxes that are left for them by listing agents. The buyers agent and the buyer are free to explore at their own pace in peace and quiet.
What is your preference?
Would you prefer to see a home that is for sale with or without the seller or listing agent present?
Just how much talk is enough and how much is too little?

BEIJING - His real-life drama is edge-of-the-seat stuff: blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng, long persecuted for helping victims of injustice, escapes the government-paid thugs who turned his village home into a high-walled prison.
He then dodges Chinese security in Beijing to take refuge inside the U.S. Embassy, delivering a crisis for top U.S. diplomat Hilary Clinton, and making headlines around the world. But not in China, where government censors still dictate what the media can report.
Even Chen's name - let alone his story - has been mostly kept out of domestic media, leaving most Chinese in the dark about a case that is informing global views of China. As in decades past, the mainland's traditional and social media must avoid the sensitive topics laid down in regular lists by the ruling Communist Party.
Chen, 40, a self-taught legal activist, received occasional favorable reports in state media until 2004. The next year he was detained at home, and later imprisoned, by authorities in eastern Shandong province. They were angered by his advocacy for thousands of women forced to have abortions and be sterilized as part of China's strict family planning policy. Only foreign media reported on Chen's four-year jail term and his often brutal house arrest over the past 19 months.
China's foreign ministry announced a likely solution to the diplomatic standoff Friday, with a statement saying Chen, now in a Beijing hospital, would be allowed to go abroad to study. Earlier Friday, four Beijing newspapers, all overseen by the city's Communist Party, broke the almost complete silence with critical editorials.
Assailing the "hostile forces of the West" that Chen represents, the Beijing Daily said Chen had "become a tool and a pawn for American politicians to blacken China." U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke was singled out for criticism.
No further editorials followed Saturday, as Chinese newspapers used only a short statement by Xinhua, the state news agency, on Chen's freedom to study abroad. Brief Xinhua or foreign ministry statements were all any Chinese media outlets - print, online or broadcast - have been using this week.
Getting Chen's story out to the world is a crowd of television crews, photographers and other journalists camped on the sidewalk opposite the north gate of central Chaoyang Hospital. About 100 yards away is the VIP wing, closely watched by Chinese uniformed and plainclothes security, where Chen began medical treatment Wednesday after leaving the U.S. Embassy.
Neighborhood residents seem to know little, if anything, about Chen. Li Xinhua, who started work Wednesday at an adjacent store selling dried fruit and nuts, had no idea what had attracted the press gathering that day -- and ever since. "China needs legal experts to help the disadvantaged, but I don't know who this man is," she said Friday on learning of Chen and his legal activism. "I'll wait for a government investigation and trust their decision."
Interestingly, newspaper vendor Yan Jinzhang said you cannot trust what you read in the papers. "All the news in Chinese media is censored," he said. "I don't know what to think of this man Chen Guangcheng. There's no detail about what he's done."
Friday's editorials, and the absence of any photograph of Chen, left Yan in no doubt of official opinion. "The government doesn't like him. There need to be changes to the system before someone like that can live freely in China," he said.
Chinese authorities "are determined to control public opinion on stories like this," said David Bandurski, an expert on Chinese media at the University of Hong Kong. "They try to 'decapitate' a story."
State controls on the Internet also make it difficult to find information on Chen. On some sites, it was not possible to search for such terms as "blind man" or "blind person," Bandurski said.
"All we have had is an editorial stance but no news or reporting of the Chen Guangcheng story," he said. "There are no facts, so most Chinese have no idea who he is."

News articles on Coral Reefs and climate change
Mongabay.com news articles on Coral Reefs and climate change in blog format. Updated regularly.
The long-ignored ocean emergency and what can be done to address it
(08/18/2008) This year has been full of bad news regarding marine ecosystems: one-third of coral species threatened with extinction, dead-zones spread to 415 sites, half of U.S. reefs in fair or bad condition, increase in ocean acidification, tuna and shark populations collapsing, and only four percent of ocean considered pristine. Jeremy Jackson, director of the Scripps Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at the University of California, San Diego, synthesizes such reports and others into a new paper, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that boldly lays out the scope of the oceanic emergency and what urgently needs to be done.
Climate change will increase the erosion of coral reefs
(07/28/2008) Coral reefs are particularly susceptible to climate change. Warming waters have been shown to bleach coral, killing off symbiotic algae that provide them with sustenance, and often leading to the death of the coral itself. Much attention has been placed on bleaching coral, but now scientists have discovered an additional danger to coral reefs in a warming world: erosion.
Coral susceptibility to bleaching due to small differences in symbiotic relationship
(07/22/2008) Coral reefs are now considered the second most threatened group of animals in the world, with nearly one-third of corals listed as endangered (amphibians retain the dubious honor of being number one). Although corals face many threats, the greatest is bleaching caused by warming oceans due to climate change. However, some coral populations are more susceptible to bleaching than others, even including corals of the same species. New research has uncovered that the reason lies in small differences in the symbiotic relationship between corals and their symbionts, small marine animals and protozoa. Such differences, however minuscule, have a huge impact on the likelihood of a coral's ability to survive warming oceans.
Moving species may be only way to save them from climate change
(07/17/2008) Desperate times call for desperate measures, according to a new paper in Science. conservation scientists from the US, the UK, and Australia are calling for the consideration of a highly controversial conservation technique: assisted migration. According to the policy piece, species would be relocated to sites "where they do not currently occur or have not been known to occur in recent history".
1/3 of corals face extinction
(07/10/2008) Nearly one-third of reef-building corals are vulnerable to extinction, according to an assessment of 845 species of coral. Rising temperatures, increased incidence of disease, and human disturbance are driving the trend.
Good news for reefs: giant coral structure found off Brazil
(07/07/2008) Amid a series of dire reports on the status of coral reefs, scientists announced the discovery of a reef off the southern coast of Brazil's Bahia state that doubles the size of the Southern Atlantic Ocean's largest and richest reef system, the Abrolhos Bank.
U.S. coral reefs in trouble
(07/07/2008) Nearly half of U.S. coral reefs are in "poor" or "fair" condition according to a new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
CO2 emissions could doom fishing industry
(07/03/2008) Aside from warming climate, rising carbon dioxide emissions are contributing to ocean acidification, threatening sea live, warn researchers writing in the journal Science. This trend makes it all the more important to reduce emissions, argue the authors.
Microbes could be the key to coral death
(04/02/2008) Coral reefs could be dying out because of changes to the microbes that live in them just as much as from the direct rise in temperature caused by global warming, according to scientists speaking today at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Fast-growing coral may help reefs survive global warming
(03/13/2008) Two fast-growing coral species may hold the key to Caribbean reefs surviving global warming, report researchers writing in the journal Science.
Expedition finds inverted pyramid where sharks dominate marine ecology
(02/25/2008) A survey of a remote Pacific archipelago turned up pristine coral reefs that could offer a "baseline" for measuring the human impact on reefs worldwide, report researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the University of California at San Diego.
Widespread butterflyfish may go extinct due to global warming, pollution
(02/24/2008) The Chevroned Butterflyfish, a colorful fish found in tropical oceans around the world, faces extinction due to overexploitation, pollution and climate change, report researchers writing in the journal Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology. Despite its widespread distribution, the species could be doomed by its specialized feeding habitats: the Chevroned Butterflyfish (Chaetodon trifascialis) feeds on only one type of coral.
Why are oceans at risk from global warming?
(02/17/2008) Climate change is putting the world's oceans at risk by increasing the temperature and acidity of seawater, and altering atmospheric and oceanic circulation, warned a panel of scientists this week at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Boston.
Natural ocean thermostat may protect some coral reefs
(02/07/2008) Natural processes may prevent oceans from warming beyond a certain point, helping protect some coral reefs from the impacts of climate change, new research finds. The study provides evidence that an ocean "thermostat" may be helping regulate sea-surface temperatures in a biologically diverse region of the western Pacific.
Groups call for doubling of reef protection for International Year of the Reef
(01/25/2008) Thursday 17 countries and 30 organization launched the International Year of the Reef, a campaign to protect coral reefs increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution, and unsustainable activities.
Global warming will degrade 98% of coral reefs by 2050
(12/13/2007) Ocean acidification caused by human-induced carbon dioxide emissions could dramatically alter the planet's coral reefs and marine food chains, warns research published in the December 14 issue of Science and presented at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco.
Coral reefs with seasonal temperatures may survive climate change
(11/29/2007) Scientists have revealed an important discovery that raises doubts concerning the viability of plans to fertilize the ocean to solve global warming, a projected $100 billion venture.
Environmentalists may use Endangered Species Act to pressure gov't on global warming
(09/07/2007) The addition of elkhorn and staghorn corals to the Endangered Species Act due to threats from climbing ocean temperatures, may be environmentalists' best weapon for levering the U.S. government into action on global warming, writes Mark Clayton of The Christian Science Monitor.
"Weird" algae key to survival of coral reefs
(08/31/2007) A team of coral researchers has taken a major stride towards revealing the workings of the mysterious "engine" that drives Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and corals the world over.
Coral reefs declining faster than rainforests
(08/08/2007) Coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean are dying faster than previously thought due to costal development, climate change, and disease, reports a study published Wednesday in the online journal PLoS One. Nearly 600 square miles of reef have disappeared per year since the late 1960s, a rate twice that of tropical rainforest loss.
Hurricanes can help coral reefs
(07/17/2007) A close call with a hurricane can be beneficial to a stressed coral reef, reports a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Coral diseases largely result from human activities
(05/17/2007) The apparent increase in infectious disease among coral is likely the result of environmental change and, as such, researchers should focus on understanding the relationship between coral diseases and environmental changes, rather than the diseases themselves, argues a paper published in the August 2007 issue of the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology.
Global warming is killing coral reefs
(05/07/2007) A new study provides further evidence that climate change is adversely affecting coral reefs. While previous studies have linked higher ocean temperatures to coral bleaching events, the new research, published in PLoS Biology, found that climate change may increasing the incidence of disease in Great Barrier Reef corals. Omniously, the research also shows that healthy reefs, with the highest density of corals, are hit the hardest by disease.
Some corals may survive acidification caused by rising CO2 levels
(03/29/2007) Several studies have shown that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are acidifying the world's oceans. This is significant for coral reefs because acidification strips carbonate ions from seawater, making it more difficult for corals to build the calcium carbonate skeletons that serve as their structural basis. Research has shown that many species of coral, as well as other marine microorganisms, fare quite poorly under the increasingly acidic conditions forecast by some models. However, the news may not be bad for all types of corals. A study published in the March 30 issue of the journal Science, suggests that some corals may weather acidification better than others.
Carbon dioxide levels threaten oceans regardless of global warming
(03/08/2007) Rising levels of carbon dioxide will have wide-ranging impacts on the world's oceans regardless of climate change, reports a study published in the March 9, 2007, issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Some corals can adapt to ocean acidification
(07/06/2006) While scientists warn that increasing ocean acidity will doom marine animals that build skeletons and structural elements out of calcium carbonate, new research has found that corals can change their skeletons, building them out of different minerals depending on the chemical composition of the seawater around them. However, the research provides further evidence that corals are extremely sensitive to rapid environmental change and will be negatively affected by increased carbon dioxide levels in the short-term.
Increasingly acidic oceans damaging to marine life
(07/05/2006) Carbon dioxide emissions are altering ocean chemistry and putting sea life at risk according to a new report released today. The report, "Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coral Reefs and Other Marine Calcifiers," summarizes known effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate skeletal structures, such as corals. Oceans worldwide absorbed approximately 118 billion metric tons of carbon between 1800 and 1994 according to the report, resulting in increased ocean acidity, which reduces the availability of carbonate ions needed for the production of calcium carbonate structures.
Severe damage expected for Caribbean coral reefs in 2006
(07/04/2006) Caribbean Sea temperatures have reached their annual high two months ahead of schedule according to a report from The Associated Press. Scientists are concerned that the region's coral reefs may suffer even worse damage than last year when 70 percent of coral was bleached in some areas.
Madagascar's reefs escape damage from global warming
(06/22/2006) A survey of coral along Madagascar's northeast coast suggests that they island's reef may have so far escaped the damaging effects of warmer ocean temperatures attributed to global climate change. Researchers from conservation International (CI), a leading conservation group, found that the region's coral reefs have avoided the bleaching that has affected other Indian Ocean reefs. The scientists believe that cool water currents from adjacent deep ocean areas have helped offset the warming effects of climate change.
Global warming may cause permanent damage to coral reefs
(05/15/2006) Global warming has had a more devastating impact on coral reefs than previously believed says a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research, the first to show the long-term impact of rising sea temperatures on coral and fish communities, suggests that "large sections of coral reefs and much of the marine life they support may be wiped out for good," according to a news release from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, an institution involved in the project.
Corals may survive global warming by gorging themselves
(04/26/2006) A new study published in Nature says some coral are able to survive bleaching events by gorging themselves. An experiment with Hawaiian corals showed that when bleached, one species sharply increased its intake of food, increasing the likelihood that it would survive elevated water temperatures.
Damaged Caribbean reefs under attack
(04/10/2006) After experiencing one of the most devastating coral bleaching events on record during September and October of 2005, reefs in the Caribbean are under attack from deadly diseases according to Reuters.
Recent Coral Bleaching at Great Barrier Reef
(04/05/2006) An international team of scientists are working at a rapid pace to study environmental conditions behind the fast-acting and widespread coral bleaching currently plaguing Australia's Great Barrier Reef. NASA's satellite data supply scientists with near-real-time sea surface temperature and ocean color data to give them faster than ever insight into the impact coral bleaching can have on global ecology. Australia's Great Barrier Reef is a massive marine habitat system made up of 2,900 reefs spanning over 600 continental islands. Though coral reefs exist around the globe, researchers actually consider this network of reefs to be the center of the world's marine biodiversity, playing a critical role in human welfare, climate, and economics. Coral reefs are a multi-million dollar recreational destinations, and the Great Barrier Reef is an important part of Australia's economy.
Climate change threatens coldwater reefs
(04/03/2006) Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, are dissolving into the oceans, causing them to become slightly more acidic. This change in seawater chemistry could harm deep-sea calcifying animals like corals.
Pacific Ocean getting warmer and more acidic
(03/31/2006) The Pacific Ocean is getting warmer and more acidic, while the amount of oxygen is decreasing, due to increased absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide say scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and the University of Washington.
Great Barrier Reef in Trouble says Australian Scientist
(02/01/2006) Australia's Great Barrier Reef may be at risk of one of its worst coral bleaching event on record warned a leading Australian scientist Tuesday.
Caribbean reefs suffer severe coral bleaching event
(12/20/2005) The Caribbean experienced one of the most devastating coral bleaching events on record during September and October while hurricanes battered the Gulf of Mexico. In response, NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have sent a team to assess the situation.
Coral reefs decimated by 2050, Great Barrier Reef's coral 95% dead
(11/17/2005) Australia's Great Barrier Reef could lose 95 percent of its living coral by 2050 should ocean temperatures increase by the 1.5 degrees Celsius projected by climate scientists. The startling and controversial prediction, made last year in a report commissioned by the World Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Queensland government, is just one of the dire scenarios forecast for reefs in the near future. The degradation and possible disappearance of these ecosystems would have profound socioeconomic ramifications as well as ecological impacts says Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, head of the University of Queensland's Centre for Marine Studies.

Numismatic Correspondence Between B. Max MehlCompilation of approximately 60 documents pertaining to B. Max Mehl's business transactions. Important original correspondence, primarily of a testimonial nature, between B. Max Mehl and many of his most important customers. The lot includes approximately 60 items in various formats, some typed on letterhead, some carbon copies, and some hand written. The dates of correspondence range from the 1920s to the 1950s. The most important items include:
and Various Collectors, Including Waldo Newcomer, King Farouk, Fred Olsen, and Charles W. Green
and Various Collectors, Including Waldo Newcomer, King Farouk, Fred Olsen, and Charles W. Green
1. Waldo Newcomer's typed, signed letter, dated September 25, 1931, confidentially informing Mehl of his intention to sell his collection and soliciting his help with the dispersal.
2. A typed, signed letter, dated July 9, 1947, from King Farouk's Private Secretary, thanking Mehl for the successful sale of Farouk's duplicate 1913 Liberty Head nickel.
3. A typed, signed letter, dated July 9, 1921, from James H. Manning, thanking Mehl for the successful sale of his collection, including his 1804 dollar.
Other correspondents of note include William Cutler Atwater, Jr., Fred Olsen, Dr. Charles W. Green, Henry Elrod, William Philpott, Jr., George Bauer, Alex Rosborough, and Charles Slack.
While the correspondence is often testimonial, some little known facts emerge from careful reading of this compilation. For instance, a letter from James H. Manning, dated July 11, 1922, reveals James Ten Eyck's fabulous collection was originally bequeathed to the Albany Institute and Historical and Art Society in Ten Eyck's 1910 dated will. The Albany Institute was unable to properly care for the huge collection and secured court approval to offer the holding at public sale. A Committee on the Ten Eyck Memorial was formed to consider how best to dispose of the collection. The committee members were James Manning, Henry Kohn and Samuel W. Brown, (not the gentleman of 1913 Liberty Head nickel fame). The committee selected Mehl to auction the collection, which is remembered today as his first true blockbuster sale.
The present lot includes important documentation of celebrated numismatic transactions, little known information about behind-the-scenes maneuvers, and a general testimonial to one of the greatest coin dealers of all time.
