Editorial: Increasing the decibels of reason
Congratulations to Democratic Sen. Angela Bryant and a sizable number of Republican senators. They stepped forward for everyone in our community Wednesday, speaking loudly with their support in the name of government transparency.
While attention was riveted on the state budget — the raises and perhaps not really raises for teachers — a regulatory reform bill was calendared for an afternoon vote.
Finding the bill by number on the General Assembly website wasn't possible. But it was happening, and the N.C. Press Association that includes this newspaper in its membership was fighting language in the bill to allow Guilford and Mecklenburg counties, and their cities, an option not to run public notices in newspapers.
Had the measure passed, 98 other counties would likely have followed suit.
Citizens must be responsive and realize this is another step allowing government at all levels, not just in Raleigh, to operate in darkness. A measure to do something on the street where we live? Raise taxes? Annexation? Zoning? Wastewater projects? If an obscure place to find notice about any of those isn't seen by the public, the government entity can surely expect to do as it pleases rather than what the constituents they represent desire.
The government works for us and with us. Anything less is bad and among the worst things a body can do.
When asked to have the public notices language removed or vote to kill the bill, Bryant responded by text message, "Of course." Bryant, as well as our House Rep. Nathan Baskerville, have continued to pledge support for keeping public notices in the place where the most members of the public can see them. It's common sense.
Now, Republican senators are breaking ranks from leadership. The bill ended the day in the Senate Rules Committee, a likely death through the end of the session but no sure thing.
And we won't be surprised to see something resurface in 2015's long session.
Last year, a state senator admonished a citizen to be quiet about public notices.
We didn't hush then. We won't now, and the voice of reason is growing.

Full detailed profile on Nick (Dominick) Marone Played by Jack Wagner on The Bold and the Beautiful Daytime Soap Opera.
Jack Wagner (CBS)
Birthday: 1959-10-03
Nick arrives at Jackie's to find movers hauling things out the door. Jackie appears and tells Nick they sold the loft. Owen marvels that the realtor called and said someone met their ridiculous asking price. Nick asks who it was. They didn't ask. Nick then asks where they're moving to. Jackie carefully let's him know that they want to live with him. They work on a skeptical Nick, who finally agrees, but says it's only temporary. Nick looks miserable as Jackie and Owen reminisce. He heads out. In a moment alone, Jackie thinks back on bubble baths and passionate moments with Owen in the loft.
Back in the guesthouse, Eric tells the group he doesn't have any answers. Steffy pleads with everyone to hang in there - she can't believe the wedding is off. Pam calls Stephen back and warns him not to get Brooke's hopes up - no one's been sent home. Stephanie opens the door. Everyone clamors to ask what's going on.
At the Forrester Mansion, Stephanie announces the she doesn't want the wedding to continue until she speaks to Taylor and Ridge alone. Steffy takes the guests to the guesthouse. Stephanie asks Thomas to stay. Taylor wants to know why Stephanie interrupted her wedding. Stephanie says she needs to tell them the truth about what happened between Thomas and Brooke on the island. They're bewildered and shocked that she wants Thomas to rehash the incident. Stephanie sighs that they don't know the truth and she can't let them get married until they do. After a few false starts, Stephanie tells them that she convinced Thomas to lie. She says, "Brooke and Thom didn't sleep together." Ridge's eyes grow wide. Stephanie apologizes and suggests they continue with the wedding. Ridge turns to Thomas, who says their clothes were on - nothing happened. Ridge shouts at Thomas. Stephanie murmurs that everyone knows Brooke has no decency. Ridge roars, "Brooke has no decency?" Stephanie insists this shouldn't change the wedding.
In the guesthouse, Nick speculates on whether they're violating the fire code. Thorne wonders what's going on and Felicia advises him not to go back to see - she saw the look on their mother's face! Pam grills Steffy on what sort of kitchen supplies they have in the guesthouse - she can't let everyone starve while they're waiting. Thorne and Felicia continue to speculate on why Stephanie would stop Ridge and Taylor's ceremony. Jackie wants a drink, and complains that it's the worst Forrester wedding she's ever been to. Nick watches her and Owen and admits he likes the way he loves her. Steffy chats to Dayzee, who is surprised she's being so nice. Steffy thinks she's good for her brother. She asks if Dayzee knows why Stephanie asked Thomas to stay behind. Marcus interrupts, sending Steffy to help Pam. Oliver tells Steffy not to worry, but she says she has to find out what's going on.
Taylor walks down the aisle to join Ridge as everyone looks on at the Forrester Mansion. Thomas looks distracted as the ceremony begins. Stephanie watches Thomas warily as he is asked to do the reading. He does it without incidence. Ridge says his own vows, and includes Steffy and Thomas in them. He tells Thomas it's a new beginning for them based on trust, noting that they've never purposely hurt each other. He tells Taylor that he misplaced his trust before, but she will give him security. Thomas has tears in his eyes and shakes his head. Taylor begins her vows; she talks about how amazing Stephanie is throughout. She tells Ridge how happy she is, and Dayzee watches Thomas. Stephanie and Thomas appear to wrestle with their guilt as the ceremony continues. When the reverend asks if anyone knows any reason why they shouldn't be married, Thomas opens his mouth to speak, but is cut off by Stephanie, who says she has something to say.
Stephanie, Nick, and Jackie all arrive at Brooke's house to help out with the foundation. When Stephanie expresses skepticism about the venture, Jackie wonders how she could even consider refusing Brooke's gesture. Brooke talks about throwing a few fundraisers each year. Stephanie's reluctance continues. Everyone assures her she deserves the honor. Brooke asks Stephanie to stay a moment when the others leave. Brooke checks on RJ, and tells Stephanie it's a difficult transition for him. Stephanie offers support. Brooke says she's lucky to have her in her life. Stephanie deflects the compliment, but Brooke continues to heap it on, and then hugs her. Stephanie looks guilty.
Nick pays Stephanie a visit in her office. She tells him that Brooke took her completely by surprise. Nick scoffs that she'll always be in love with Ridge when Stephanie tries to convince him to pursue her. Taylor comes in and tells him about the foundation Brooke is setting up. Nick wants to know exactly what happened to cause Brooke to put her fortune into a foundation like this. Taylor and Stephanie disagree over whether her intentions are genuine and heartfelt - Stephanie thinks they are. Nick leaves and Taylor and Stephanie continue to discuss Brooke.
At Jackie M Owen fits Jackie with a dress for the collection. He says he'd like it to be much smaller. They flirt, then he kisses her. Whip joins them, then Nick asks if they knew Ridge and Brooke broke up. Whip says he'd still been hoping he and Taylor would get back together. He hopes Ridge doesn't invite him to the wedding. Owen explains that Nick is still in love with Brooke. Whip comments that everyone is changing partners. Nick and Brooke stopped trying to make it work years ago and he has no expectations now.
Owen and Jackie are making out in Nick's office when Stephanie walks in. Nick arrives just after her and Owen and Jackie leave. Stephanie tells Nick she's looking for insurance. She says Ridge has moved out of the house. She hopes he will be Brooke's friend because she's going to need it. She says he still loves Brooke and should go after her. Nick smells a rat. She has to leave for a meeting. She tells him not to blow his opportunity.
Nick and Whip burst into Jackie's office, where Owen is kissing her. Nick tells Whip, "I told you! Pay up!" Whip informs everyone that they have to step up their game. They discuss working with Bill Spencer and everyone looks at Nick, who wryly says Bill punched him in the mouth - he hates him. Whip says he thinks their 'cougar' should prowl again. Nick holds his head.

CopyRecord Method (ADO)
Copies an entity represented by a record to another location.
The values of Source and Destination must not be identical; otherwise, a run-time error occurs. At least one of the server, path, or resource names must differ.
All children (for example, subdirectories) of Source are copied recursively, unless adCopyNonRecursive is specified. In a recursive operation, Destination must not be a subdirectory of Source; otherwise, the operation will not complete.
This method fails if Destination identifies an existing entity (for example, a file or directory), unless adCopyOverWrite is specified.
Use the adCopyOverWrite option judiciously. For example, specifying this option when copying a file to a directory will delete the directory and replace it with the file.
URLs using the http scheme will automatically invoke the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing. For more information, see Absolute and Relative URLs.

A federal appeals court on Monday upheld an injunction against Arizona's controversial illegal-immigration enforcement law that requires police officers to check immigration status during traffic stops and routine arrests. The United States sued the state after the measure was enacted last April, saying that immigration law falls squarely within federal purview. The decision sets up a battle that almost certainly will go to the Supreme Court.
Arizona argued that it has had no choice but to pass laws on immigration because Congress has failed to enact any changes that would stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the state. The Obama administration has been pushing back on claims that the border is overrun, stating that both its enforcement tactics at the border and elsewhere are more stringent than those of any previous administration.
The administration has impressive enforcement statistics to present to lawmakers in showing that their efforts are working, but the White House has a long way to go before convincing some Republicans on Capitol Hill that illegal immigration is under control.
The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit cited the Arizona law's broadly worded and sometimes conflicting requirements for police officers to act as immigration-enforcement officers. The court said the sweeping nature of Arizona's law is in conflict with the narrow leeway Congress granted state officers under the law: They can aid in federal immigration enforcement "only under particular conditions."
The extent to which Congress needs assistance from states in enforcing immigration law should be interpreted narrowly, the court said, noting that states do "not have the authority to remove immigrants; removal is exclusively the purview of the federal government."
The appeals court said the United States is correct in asserting that the country would face "irreparable harm" if the Arizona law were allowed to go into effect. Among the harms cited by the court are "constitutional infringement" and violations of "the requirements of federal law, especially when there are no adequate remedies available."

faith is anything, but wierd. In fact not haveing a faith is more of a minority throught the coarse of human existence. But thanks for nothing in terms of your useless comment
what you are hinting at is that they are white but i disagree . for one thing there are plenty of minority students in each of the schools you mentioned. And for another what you are thinking is black and white....have you been in a school lately ...any school? there are so many chinese, korean, japanese, indian, south amarican, caribian and mexican students that the race card can no longer be pulled the only disicive factor seperating people now a days is INCOME. plain and simple. but nice try bigot
"If someone had told me in '02, or '92, or '82, that Bernie Fine was a suspected child molester, don't you think that I would remember that? And that it would color my opinion of the guy? And I would look at him and say 'Oh my God?' and that type of thing? So that didn't happen," >>>>Im confused so is this how he approches all the cases he handles. If the person is accused then"that it would color my opinion of the guy'' so i guess innocent untill proven guility is not the case as spoken from our DA. Good to know that public opinion is the only consern of this country now
One of the many quetions that I have is if the "Syracuse City Police had declined to pursue the matter because the statute of limitations had expired." Then why would re- open a full investigation? It makes me sick that because of the media now days the police are even compromising there inteligince and resources for unfounded claims that have already been investigated. What a shame
TRUST!!! you are wrong acording to the state 70 percent of welfare recipients of Onandaga County are located within The City of Syaracuse. Also yes teenagers in the burbs are humping like crazy sure ill give you that, but they are much smarter about not getting pregnent because there are much higher cases of parent accountability in these houses and fear of the repercutions do make a diffrence in wheather they get pregnant. TRUST...lol
Is this a fact or are you being funny?
" marked the latest chapter in one of pop culture's most shocking tragedies — the death of the King of Pop ".... SHOCKING TRAGEDIES are you kidding me what is wrong with this world when we even think about describing the self induced death of a child molester a tragedy. I have been thankful ever since MJ was put down knowing that one less psycho child molester is no longer on this earth. And now we convict this doctor of killing him... I say we shake his hand and thank him.
I second this. Please follow up the whole time i was reading this is what i was thinking
Well i am a NY state teacher and I have yet to submit to a drug test in the years i have been employed. I guess i should withdraw my statement on the fire and police im sorry for being misinformed.
Well said. I do not disagree. And I appreciate the fact that you stated your point with out many insults and name calling.( unlike most people on here) And i know it sounds like i am flip flopping but i am not a radisson hater. I just felt the need to express myself on some things that i have grown up listening to and being around. And i agree that the pool should not be used by anyone other than radisson residance it is a perk of living there that you all pay for and should be for ressidence only. i respectfully disagree with the paths and ponds issue only for the sake that if you are respectful of the area anyone should be able to enjoy in those great attributes of the radisson community.( which i have and might i add i have never been harrased for not being a resident, so i know they dont enforce it for the most part unless warrented.) As for the school and fire department. Mind you i was in grad school when they proposed these ideas. So in a sence i am proving your point to a T as to it being a fallacy. I stand corrected and thank you for informing me of the truth which makes complete sence. uNTILL WE MEET AGAIN HAHAHAH This is officaly the best "discution" on this site i have had in years. Please forgive spelling im in a hurry cuz im on break at work...LOL
The village tax that i pay supplies me with all the amenities of the village. I was not saying that we were able to support the village based only on those taxes i was just stateing that spillchecks point about the village itself not being half of what it is without the radisson tax payer, i disagree on completely. It is a better place than what it would be if not for radisson, however this village has been a great place to live since the early 1800's. I would bet that it would be just as nice of a place had radisson never been or just went away. In fact dare i say radisson would not be what it is had it not been for the great village of baldwinsville to acomadate them. Also to address the point of a "we verses them mantality" That mat not be the case if radisson didn't always want to seperate THEMSELf. Just as an example they wanted there own fire department, elementary school and not allowing "outsiders" in to use the amenities such as fishing and use of the pool.
And your point is what? he pokes fun at all the idiots in politics maybe you need to lighten up and find a little humor in your life. Last time he made news was when he was billiteling our Democratic President about the whole telipropter deal. Get over yourself and go and listen to Fox news some more maybe they will let you know what your oppinon will be for next week...What a leming you are!!!
@spillchacker ...the last time i checked Radison is not in the village limits therefore they do not pay village tax...please correct me if i am wrong.
Why dont you smoke alittle more of that fairy dust. They were not gang affiliates they were college students that were catering to other college students....try reading the artical before you go on your incoherent pschysifrenic rants about homeland security and terrerisim.
actually teachers police and fire men have never had to take any drug screening to become employed the only time they may be forced to submit to a drug test is in the case of being hurt on the job.
Oh I see what you did there .. badah bah LOL
Does any one that supports this women ever think about all the other things the bible does not allow...like being married more than once or pre marital sex....there is no way that she can sit here and say she has never issued a marriage lisience to someone who has had a divorce or had pre marital sex. so not only is she picking and choising what laws to obey , but she is picking and chosing what religouse beliefs she wants to value higher than others... she is such a hypecrit and should step down from her elected position for refusing to do her job.
yes please provide any example of when bush was compaired to Hitler...Never remember hearing that?
You legaly can not have a buisness that employe's people without workers comp insurance... Yellow taxi workers need to start filloing claims and sue the pants off this company...that is what workers comp is for...not the workers...it is to protect the employer from being sued....what an idiot buisness owner
"It'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu." Ummm pull your head from you know where, he directly compaired The President of the Untited States to Hitler Last time i checked Hitler didn't play much golf. When you substitute the name of the single most hated man in modern history, inplace of the president of our country, what do you expect the american people to think. And on his statement, "Every time the media brings up the tea party it's painted as racist and extremists — but there's never a backlash — no outrage to those comparisons." The reason why there is no backlash is because the statement could not be more true. Its hard to argue with the truth.

Christie ads paint Lonegan as foolish
Posted By Michael Symons On May 19, 2009 @ 11:19 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
`The negative ads in the Republican gubernatorial primary race are flying back and forth between Chris Christie and Steve Lonegan, on the radio and online. That's not to say all the advertising has been negative — each candidate opened with biographical or positive pieces. But increasingly, as often in campaigns, the gloves are coming off. Below are a couple of videos released by the Christie campaign needling Lonegan — interestingly, neither of which are included in the ads that visitors to Christie's website can watch.
Here's part 1 …
And here's part 2 …

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — Firefighters brought a blaze that had spread in Yosemite National Park under control, and containment lines kept the wildfire from threatening some the treasured sequoias that are among the largest and oldest living trees on Earth.
The flames spread about a half-mile in the Crane Creek area Wednesday, park officials said in a statement, but it was brought under control.
The fire remained about 10 miles from Merced Grove, one of three Yosemite stands of giant sequoias. The towering trees grow only on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada and can live longer than 3,000 years.
Flames could reach the grove if the fire makes a significant surge, park spokesman Scott Gediman said.
"We're not looking at an imminent threat right now," he said.
Low humidity was likely to lead to an active night for the fire into Thursday, and thunderstorms brought the threat of lightning, the park's statement said.
With the exception of some smoke in Yosemite valley, the park itself was largely unaffected by the fire and remained open, Gediman said.
The fire was threatening about 50 homes that remained under evacuation orders. It has destroyed a home and a duplex and burned through more than 6 square miles since it began on Saturday. It was 34 percent contained.
Fire crews also were battling a blaze in Sierra National Forest about 60 miles northeast of Fresno that grew substantially late Tuesday and had spread across nearly 9 square miles. It was threatening about 20 homes, though they were not under mandatory evacuation orders, said Anne Grandy, a spokeswoman for the park.
Several campgrounds and cabins were evacuated and closed, the U.S. Forest Service said in a statement.
In Oregon, a firefighter battling a 100-acre blaze in the southern Cascade Range died in a fall while on a break. Authorities say he apparently lost his balance climbing over a rock and fell backward over a downed log, breaking his back.
In Washington state, officials were pleading with the public to stop donations for wildfire victims after community organizations were flooded with items. The largest wildfire in the state's history burned hundreds of homes and scorched hundreds of square miles.

Property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle expects the number of skyscrapers in Jakarta to double by 2015 as developers tap into the booming demand for property.
Anton Sitorus, head of research at the company's Indonesia arm, said that Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat data shows that Jakarta now has 75 skyscrapers — buildings with height of more than 150 meters — up from 40 skyscrapers in 2009 .
Anton said that proposed projects by property developers indicate the number of Jakarta skyscrapers will hit 150 by 2015. Another 100 skyscrapers are expected from 2015 to 2020, taking the total to 250.
The new skyscrapers combine office towers, hotels and residential buildings.
"Big institutional investors are returning to Indonesia, creating big corporate growth in the country and high demand for properties," Anton said on Tuesday. "Its the beginning of a property boom in Indonesia," he said.
Anton added that Indonesia had seen similar trends in 1995, when high economic growth resulted in an increasing number of high-rise buildings.
One high-profile project starting this year is The Signature, a 638-meter tower that will be build in South Jakarta's Sudirman Central Business District, Anton said. The project will be built by the Artha Graha Network, controlled by Tommy Winata, in partnership with MGM Hospitality. Requiring Rp 18 trillion ($1.9 billion) in investment, it will be the fifth tallest building in the world when completed in 2017.
At the moment, the tallest building in Jakarta is Wisma 46, a 262-meter office building in Sudirman built in 1996.
Anton expects there will be 3.2 million square meters of additional office space in the next six years in the Central Business District, which encompasses the SCBD. That would be almost double the existing 4.3 million square meters.
But expectations of a swath of new buildings raises concerns an oversupply may lead to a property bubble.
"If the price increases do not reflect the demand growth, it could cause a bubble," said Budhy Siallagan, property analyst with eTrading Securities.
He said demand needed to stay high to balance high supply, and to maintain property price stability.
Todd Lauchlan, country head of Jones Lang LaSalle Indonesia, said the property market in Dubai did see a bubble when the company launched Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, but he remained optimistic about the Indonesian market.

|AIA Applauds U.S. Mayors' Endorsement of International Green Construction Code (IGCC)
|Tuesday, 15 June 2010 09:19
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) applauded the U.S. Conference of Mayors' endorsement today of the International Green Construction Code (IGCC), a comprehensive set of requirements intended to reduce the negative impact of buildings on the natural environment while maintaining safety standards and increasing long term peak performance.
The Mayors' Conference endorsement today of the IGCC at its annual meeting is a major expression of support from an organization outside of the building and construction industry. Such resolutions document support for a policy and represent ways for mayors to learn about and support policies nationally that they are free to adopt in their communities.
"The IGCC needs the backing of leadership within local jurisdictions if it is to have any impact on the carbon footprint of the nation's building sector, which accounts for almost 40 percent of America's energy consumption and 72 percent of its electricity use," said George H. Miller, FAIA, president of the AIA. "This resolution by America's mayors is a huge step in that direction."
The Mayors Conference resolution calls on local governments "wishing to take a more holistic approach to incorporating energy efficiency, sustainable community planning and healthy and safe building practices into the codes to adopt the IGCC and consider its Standard 189.1 compliance path as base code in their jurisdiction."
The IGCC is a document which can be readily used by design professionals, builders and others in the industry. It was created with the intent to be administered by code officials and adopted by governmental units at any level as a tool to establish a green "floor" above which voluntary rating systems can continue to drive the cutting edge of sustainable and safe design.
The IGCC has been developed by the International Code Council (ICC) in association with cooperating sponsors ASTM International (ASTM) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Other organizations have joined the effort, including the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), producers of the LEED green building rating systems and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) responsible for developing the Standard 189.1 and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).
Version 1.0 of the International Green Construction Code was publicly released in Washington, D.C. on March 15th, 2010. Comments received and testimony presented at the August 14-22 hearings in Chicago will be the basis for Public Version 2.0 of the IGCC, scheduled for release in November 2010.

|Rev. Shuttlesworth was one of the founding members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Photo provided
"Rev. Shuttlesworth would say that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the voice of the Civil Rights Movement, and he was the soldier in the trenches," said Palm Beach Atlantic University Professor Terriel Byrd.
Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, the strong-willed civil rights leader of the 1950s and early 1960s in his native Birmingham, Ala. died Oct. 5 at the age of 89, leaving a legacy of freedom fighting and spreading the gospel, which included visits to Palm Beach Atlantic University through his connection with Byrd.
The special mentorship and friendship between Byrd, a professor of Urban Christian Ministry at PBA, and resident expert on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement, and Shuttlesworth began in Ohio. Byrd served as campus minister at Miami University in the 1980s, and was introduced to Shuttlesworth, then pastor of Greater New Light Baptist Church in Cincinnati.
According to Byrd, it was the continued threats on his life, which led Shuttlesworth to Ohio in the mid-1960s. The threats weren't to be taken lightly. His church, Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham was bombed Christmas day in 1956. Miraculously no one was killed, but it was the first of several such attacks in a city that came to be known as "Bombingham." And the violence didn't stop there. Shuttlesworth was brutally beaten with chains and brass knuckles, and his wife stabbed, when trying to enroll his children in an all-white school in Birmingham in 1957.
|Dr. Terriel Byrd during a visit to Rev. Shuttlesworth's church in Cincinnati in 2005.
"When Dr. King linked up with Rev. Shuttlesworth the infrastructure of the Civil Rights Movement was already in place," said Byrd. "Birmingham was the most racist city in the South as Eugene "Bull" Connor was such a brutal and vicious police commissioner. He (Shuttlesworth) knew if he invited Dr. King to bring the protest to Birmingham, Connor would respond in a way that would expose the hate and brutality that existed."
Shuttlesworth's logic proved to be correct as response by the authorities to the protests in Birmingham in 1963, known as the Birmingham Campaign, was so drastic, it drew the attention of the media allowing Americans and the world to watch what was happening on their TV sets.
"Even President Kennedy couldn't believe this was happening in a city in our nation," Byrd said. "It shamed America."
For this reason, and the many behind the scenes efforts of Shuttlesworth Byrd believes him to be the "unsung hero of the Civil Rights Movement."
In 2001, when Shuttlesworth visited Palm Beach Atlantic University at the invitation of Dr. Ken Mahanes and Byrd, he spoke to students in chapel, and afterwards they watched "Who Speaks for Birmingham?" The documentary produced by CBS News shows the racial climate of Birmingham in the late 1950s and early 1960s leading up to the protests there – the protests that opened the eyes of the nation.
"He (Shuttlesworth) was committed to fighting on the grounds of biblical mandate," said Byrd. "He was a preacher first."
As American mourns a civil rights leader, Byrd also mourns a friend who he said he misses. The final chapter of his upcoming book, "By This Shall We Be Known: Interpreting the Voice, Vision and Message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." is all about Shuttlesworth's influence on his life.
"Often he was a prophet without honor," said Byrd. "(But) I call him civil rights royalty."

if the computer has been running xp, then it may not be able to run win7 or win8. check with the computer's manufacturer to see if there are new drivers for your old machine that are compatible with the new o.s. - but it is highly doubtful that there will be any.
if not, then your only option will be to buy / acquire a newer machine engineered for the newer o.s.'s.
also, there is no upgrade scenario from xp. in other words, the new o.s.'s will have to be installed on a clean hard disk (per se). so to this end, i would not format your xp drive. instead install the new o.s. on a separate partition or secondary hard drive.
lastly, your old printers, peripherals and old software may not run on the new o.s.'s as well, because most software and hardware manufacturer's have stopped providing free updated drivers and software updates for use on newer o.s.'s.
for them, there is no money in providing free updates. instead, the revenue they generate comes from providing newer equipment and software that are compatible with the mainstream o.s.'s on the shelves.
You make good points about upgrading from XP, but you missed her first sentence where she said she was ready to buy a new computer.
Buy a 7 System and get a free upgrade to 8. As I'm not involved in this offer I have no idea what it actually covers so you could buy a 7 Ultimate and end up with a 8 Home Basic.
It'll end up being the same (or equivalent) edition just like it was for Vista. For example, you could not upgrade a Vista Ultimate machine to anything but 7 Ultimate.
Even if you don't like W8, you can always go back or downgrade to W7. Same as what they did with W7/Vista->XP
The upgrade to Windows 8 is not free this time around. They are going to charge an extra $15 for an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro which will make it possible for you to purchase the Windows Media pack - no Windows Media Player in Windows 8.
If it were me, I would buy a new system (desktop/laptop) with W7 OS installed. W7 is a very solid workhorse OS and will be supported for many years! You then have to decide if you want the 32 bit or 64 bit W7 OS. Of course if you want to take advantage of all the 64 bit OS goodness with more available memory etc. you will also have to upgrade your applications software to 64 bit versions to take full advantage or just go with the 32 bit W7 OS and keep your present app software. I tried the W8 Consumer Preview and did not like it for a non-touch based system. On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, Microsoft has a special deal going on where you can buy a W7 system now and later have the option to switch (notice I did not say upgrade) to W8 if you are so inclined. I think W8 is going to be very nice OS for new tablet hardware, but not on "my desktop" from my experience using W8 CP. Perhaps with a W9 release in a couple of years the intended convergence of the desktop/notebook/tablet/phone via the Metro UI will happen as it is even more refined and supported. I just don't see any need to displace W7 on a mouse driven desktop/laptop PC via W8. I think your productivity would suffer using W8's touch centric OS with mouse driven hdw and tiled metro interface. Not having a touch monitor seems to inhibit easy swipe scrolling via W8. I find it quicker to navigate via the W7 start menu Vs W8 tiles & search method. Plus, if you go multi-monitor W7 offers a much better experience using multiple windows with possibility for several open applications to view and work amongst. W8's multi-monitor support seemed almost non-existent, at least with W8 CP. These are just my opinions, YMMV.
"if you want to take advantage of all the 64 bit OS goodness with more available memory etc. you will also have to upgrade your applications software to 64 bit versions to take full advantage or just go with the 32 bit W7 OS and keep your present app software"
You make it sound like the 64-bit OS cannot run her current 32-bit apps which is patently false. Consider that Office 2007 does not have a 64-bit version, yet I am running O2K7 on my 64-bit Win7 machine right now. The browser I am using at this very moment is the 32-bit version of IE (which comes with the OS). You need to be more careful with either your wording or your research.
@ultimatloozer - I certainly didn't mean to imply that you can only run 64 bits apps with 64 bit OS. That is why I phrased it as: "Of course if you want to take advantage of all the 64 bit OS goodness with more available memory etc. you will also have to upgrade your applications software to 64 bit versions to take full advantage". Key words being to "...take full advantage...". I guess I could have made it clearer by saying "...you should upgrade..."
On the other hand, I don't know why anyone would suggest purchasing a 64 bit OS to run 32 bit apps. That's like buying an aircraft carrier and flying Piper Cubs off of it. Unless she plans to later update those applications to 64 bit or begin a forward migration to 64 bit apps suggesting a 64 bit OS would seem like overkill for her unless she needs the extra memory capacity.
If all your apps are 32 bit there can still be a great advantage in running a 64 OS if you're using 64 bit hardware as you then get the full advantage of the hardware as the OS will utilise the hardware for an improved performance of the 32 bit apps. It's been a few years since I've seen anyone sell 32 bit hardware as new, so why not run a 64 bit OS to best use the hardware!
I don't know if you were around at the time, bit Windows 3 was designed for working on 16 bit hardware, but 32 bit hardware was soon fairly common. A special patch came out to convert your 16 bit Windows 3 to be a 32 bit Windows 3, even though the apps were still all 16 bit - what the conversion did was allow the OS to use the full 16 bit capability of the hardware and the apps all ran faster better, especially when you were running more than one app at the time.
I stopped reading at "have to upgrade your applications software to 64 bit...
Look further down on the thread and let me tell you why, for most people in your situation, it is entirely advantageous to upgrade to Windows 7 from an operating system that's been out over a decade, and I will give you cold hard facts, not vague and incorrect concepts.
It may or may not be advantageous to upgrade from an older Microsoft Windows version as there's a lot more to it than just how great the latest version is or supposed to be. The situation for a business is a lot different for an individual. I know people who refuse to dump their XP at this point in time because they can NOT afford to buy replacement peripherals they use a lot - printer, scanner, slide and film scanner and the like. This is because the gear works perfectly with XP but does NOT work with Win 7. One person can't switch as they use a special piece of hardware and software that works with their throat microphone to allow them to use their VOIP phone service - neither works with Win 7.
The peripheral hardware compatibility issue and cost is often overlooked by people until AFTER they get the new fancy computer and they get upset when their existing gear doesn't work with the new one.
You do really have to consider your existing peripherals when deciding whether to go with a 32 bit or 64 bit OS and whether you might need to buy new periperals if there are not 64 bit drivers available. Printers/scanners are notoriously problematic.
From Microsoft:
If I'm running a 64-bit version of Windows, do I need 64-bit drivers for my devices?
Yes. All hardware devices need 64-bit drivers to work on a 64-bit version of Windows. Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows don't work on computers running 64-bit versions of Windows.
In addition, you should read this post in the Windows 7 forum regarding 32 bit vs 64 bit W7 OS decision:
The concerns re current drivers for hardware are real, but not that big an issue IF the hardware was originally designed to use the Industry Standard Command Set and not a specific Microsoft Windows Command Set. If built to use a Windows Command Set out of the box then it needs drivers for anything except that version of Windows, if built to the Industry Standard Commands then it needs drivers for use in any version of Windows.
I have a colour laser printer that I bought in 1996 and was built to use the Industry Standard Command Set, it plugs in and works wonderfully with my current 64 bit Linux operating system - Zorin OS 5; 16 years old and still going strong. This just shows how important it is to check out on the out of the box compatibility of all your hardware
One must consider the fact that the new pc may not have drivers for xp, for its internal components. It works both ways.
That's the point hardware built to the Industry Standards doesn't care what OS is installed as long as the OS is designed to the Industry Standards as well. The pity is that Windows isn't designed to the Industry Standards and they get some of the hardware manufacturers to design to the CURRENT Windows standard; that's what causes most of the driver issues. That and the fact Windows does not load their hardware command drivers for anything but the last couple of levels in their Current version of Windows.
This is some great advice. Thanks. Just to clarify my original question, when I said I'm preparing to "upgrade my Win XP computer," I meant that I will be buying a new computer. I will look into this Win 7 offer from Microsoft. Sounds like that could be a great option for me.
"upgrade my Win XP computer," definitely means you are looking to upgrade THAT computer. Should have said move up to a Windows 7 (or computer.
Buy a new computer wi7 and the free 8 upgrade. BEFORE shutting down your old computer, recover any product keys from your old software. Adobe has a tool that uninstall the license key so you can reuse it. Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html can tell you what you have loaded. Make sure you have an install path for loading you current programs onto your new computer. If you go 64 bit, you may want to go with the 64 bit of your applications to take better advantage of the chip. Belarc will also list out any free programs you have loaded. You will want them too. Make sure to back everything up to transfer to the new computer.
Just my opinion but go with Win 7 and 64 bit if possible. I doubt you will be disappointed. Approach Win 8 with caution. I just see no reason to use it on a non-tablet device.
agreed with sneymeyer. better option is to go with Win 7 64 bit.
system should have minimum 4 GB RAM
Speed, simplicity, an advantage of applications
Windows 8 is designed and optimised for use with a touch screen and is has huge difference in the way the Graphics User Interface looks, feels, and works you need to be aware of that. If what you're thinking of getting is a touch screen tablet or you use a touch screen tablet or smart phone a lot, then it won't be much of a change to go to Windows 8, if you don't use such a system a lot, get prepared for a case of culture shock.
However, don't forget that there are other options to going for the latest Microsoft offering as well, one of them may be better suited for you, that will depend on what you see as your mission critical software. Also, not all software that runs on Win XP will run on Win 8 or even Win 7, you should check that out first as well.

During another taping, a couple of days later, that closeness is even more in evidence. Instead of just letting their song "Look at Us" play, they act along, Slim adding some heartfelt counterpoints while holding Zella Mae's hand and she contributing some verses, too. Over the air, the feel is curious, to say the least: The hosts blend their live voices with the taped voices; in the studio, it's a completely different feel: The pair acts like a couple of teenagers, as connected after 51 years as any couple has a right to be. Stories roll through the show, many directly pertaining to the hosts.
Slim, in particular, likes to talk, and he'll entertain you with stories about touring with the kids; about his roles as president of both the Chippewa-Broadway Business Association and the Chippewa Neighborhood Association; about the community garden that Gateway Greening has established with neighborhood resident Mark Rice, just across the street; and even his continuing service as a block captain.
Solidly locked into the neighborhood, Slim and Zella Mae live in a house behind the store and own an old auto lot next door; Slim wavers between wanting to rebuild the furniture store on that space and leasing to a restaurant that would need to be built from scratch. Clearly no one's told him that the neighborhood -- an area he's known intimately since opening the furniture business there some three decades ago -- has lost any of its luster.
The community garden, for instance, is a positive presence, with its local volunteers and 4,000-pound Bob Cassilly frog. This space wouldn't necessarily be the first thing you'd associate with Cox. Instead, you'd probably think of him playing the piano on Channel 24, or his big voice cutting through the vaguely tinny din of WEW. But talk to him enough and you get the idea there's a lot more to Slim Cox than the limiting notion of a media evangelist.
The neighborhood, for example, takes up a big portion of his thoughts: "We're not out in Clayton; we're not out in Ladue. We have to create something that is going to show that there are people here who care," he says. "That garden was a brainstorm of Mark Rice. He leased the lot from the city. Together we went to work. It was made to show that there is someone interested, someone who cares. We've gotten more comments about that, because of the frog. No one's had any objections to it, but people aren't beating down the door to volunteer, either, you know what I mean?
"The garden's not the answer to what's wrong on Chippewa Street. There's buildings to fill up; problems with the landlords who live in the county and don't take care of their structures -- if we got rid of some of them, we'd solve problems. It has changed here. But when I was elected president of the association, I said, 'Some people think that South St. Louis and the 10th Ward have outlived their usefulness, are going down the drain.' And I said, 'That's not true. There's hope.'"
If you need a dose of city confidence, go talk to Slim Cox.
If you want to hear some foot-stompin' gospel, tune in to Slim Cox.
If you need a queen-size bed, talk prices with Slim Cox.
And say hello to Zella Mae! They're quite a team.

Most dangerous female sport.
The NYT has a good article on it called Pompoms, Pyramids and Peril:
The more athletic, more acrobatic era of cheerleading is widely linked to the 1980s, when hundreds of high school gymnastics teams were dropped, partly because school districts grew weary of paying off injury insurance claims for the sport. Many gifted female gymnasts gravitated toward cheerleading and, with their ability and competitive nature, they soon pushed halftime routines far beyond shaking pompoms and waving banners.

About Tom
I am currently an assistant professor at Lake Superior State University (LSSU) in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. I earned my Ph.D. in August, 2014 from the Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) Department and the Astrobiology Program at the University of Washington. My research interests include mass extinctions, paleontology, and geochemistry, but I enjoy almost any field work, something I consider an essential component of any geologist's training. Outside of work I spend my free time hiking, learning photography, and playing basketball.

Women in academia have struggled for centuries to establish levels of acceptance and credibility equal to men in the same fields, and anthropology has been no different. The women anthropologists in this book speak frankly about their challenges and successes as they navigated through their personal and professional lives. Riding the changing tides of social and disciplinary history, they struggled through various and sometimes conflicting arenas of life—marriage, raising children, caring for families, publishing, conducting research, going into the field, teaching, and mentoring. They did this during volatile periods in the twentieth century when the roles and expectations for women were being constantly reestablished and repositioned. For anyone interested in the cultural and demographic shifts that are fundamentally altering opportunities for women in the workplace, Women in Anthropology is a thought provoking and inspirational read. For anthropologists, it is an important and intimate portrait of the realities of professional life.
Maria G. Cattell is a research associate at The Field Museum of Natural History. She received her PhD in 1989 from Bryn Mawr College, and after completing a dissertation on aging and gender in rural Kenya, continued her research there for a quarter century.

Schweitzer received her PhD in 1978 from the University of Oklahoma, and wrote her dissertation on "The Power and Prestige of the Elderly in Two Indian Communities." In 1986 Marjorie retired as Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University. Her publications include two books, a bibliography and an edited volume on American Indian grandmothers. She continues to be an advocate for the survival of American Indian culture.
