An image processing technique called ASIR allows radiologists to reduce radiation levels in chest CT exams without sacrificing image quality or diagnostic confidence, according to a paper just published by Mass General researchers.
Mass General research: Image reconstruction slashes chest CT radiation
An image-reconstruction technique called ASIR (adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction) allows CT scanners to deliver high-quality chest CT images at radiation levels up to 75 percent lower than standard exams, according to a paper by several Mass General radiologists published in the May issue of Radiology. The researchers obtained raw CT data at four different radiation levels, and then processed those images using both ASIR and an alternative technique called FBP (filtered back projection). They then asked radiologists to rate the various images. The radiologists, who didn't know what type of image they were seeing at any time, reported confidence in the ASIR images down to much lower radiation levels than they did with the FBP images. In other words, ASIR enabled the use of less radiation in chest CT exams than did FBP.
The paper's Mass General-based authors are Sarabjeet Singh, MBBS, MMST; Mannudeep K. Kalra, MD; Matthew D. Gilman, MD; Homer H. Pien, PhD; Subba R. Digumarthy, MD; and Jo-Anne O. Shepard, MD.

Katie Paden
Hi, my name is Katie Paden, and I'm an Associate Director of Admission here at Oglethorpe. I joined the admission team in the summer of 2006. In addition to working with students whose school is in Fulton County, I have the privilege of managing our on-campus admission events. I also enjoy working with high school counselors through our advisory board and other programs.
Being a Memphis, TN, native and a Vanderbilt University alum, I first came to know Oglethorpe as a staff member rather than as a student. However, I remember vividly how it feels to move to Atlanta from out of state and to join the OU community. In a sense, then, I know what it's like to be a "prospective" and then a "freshman," just as you might as an applicant and a future Petrel. Oglethorpe is a special place. I value the rich academic environment that OU cultivates; the many chances for faculty, staff and students to get to know one another; and the variety and open-mindedness that characterize the OU community. Atlanta is a great city, too, with many districts, restaurants, and events to explore. When I'm not in the admission office, I enjoy reading a good book, following college basketball and football, and walking in my favorite Atlanta neighborhoods and parks.
Favorite spot on campus: The Conant Performing Arts Center (which often means I'm about to see a great show!).
Favorite OU tradition: The Carillon Ceremony.

|Multi-Alarm Structure Fire in Wilkes
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 07 April 2011 06:18
A large two-story chicken house burned totally in Millers Creek yesterday. The Millers Creek Fire Department found the Boone Trail structure fully involved in the early afternoon call, then found more danger in that propane tanks were at the building that was on fire, and that another large structure was also threatened, causing a call for Wilbar, Wilkesboro, and other departments.
Loss in the fire was said to have been extensive. The fire insures a bad week for poultry operations in the foothills. Earlier, the storms that struck the area early Tuesday took out several chicken houses--Paul Wells of Wells Hollow Road, just across the Wilkes line in Yadkin County, lost two side-by-side chicken houses between 12:30 and 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. Others in the area suffered roof damage.

The Lemelson Center's annual symposium took place on Oct. 25 and this year we explored the role technology and invention plays in our surveillance society. You can watch the archived video on UStream. In this post, we look at one invention that allowed for wartime surveillance from the sky.
Many of us who work at the National Museum of American History have a favorite object or two. Mine is part of the photographic history collections. It's a General Electric Mazda FT-17 flash lamp, whose prototype was invented by Harold "Doc" Edgerton at MIT to take aerial reconnaissance photographs at night. Why do I like it? Well, OK, I'm a photography geek. But the tube is elegant yet cool, and it has a great story.
Edgerton had originally invented an electronic stroboscope to study high-speed machinery in motion. But he soon turned his light (and camera) on a vast range of subjects. Applying his solid engineering training, vivid imagination, and good business sense, Edgerton continually adapted and commercialized the technology he had created. In the 1940s, this work took Doc into the sky.
Major George Goddard of the army's photographic laboratory at Wright Field (now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) visited Edgerton at MIT in 1939. Goddard had joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1917 and was appointed instructor of aerial photographic interpretation at the School of Military Aeronautics the following year. He knew firsthand both the value and limitations of aerial photography using existing technology. So he asked if Edgerton and his colleagues could build a strobe that would be powerful enough to take photographs from a plane, at night, from a height of a mile. "We can do that," Doc said. "We haven't got it in the house, but we can do that." (1) That confidence produced an electronic flash system for night aerial photography that delivered information impossible to obtain in any other way.
The strobe that Doc originally designed to photograph events from the bleachers of Boston Garden provided a technical foundation for his electronic flash for military night aerial photography. But the components of this new flash system were bigger and more powerful than anything Doc had yet built. The flash tube is a tough monster; its 30 inches of strong, quartz glass, coiled into a xenon-filled spiral, withstood the 4,000 volts discharged through it. The tube fit into a reflector mounted in the plane's belly or tail. Banks of capacitors, weighing up to 500 pounds each, were slung on the plane's bomb racks and supplied power to the flash tube. A direct contact synchronized the flash to the equally oversized aerial camera.
In April 1941, the first experimental unit–camera, capacitors, flash tube, and reflector–was mounted in a B-18 and tested over Boston. But the system's most famous test began on June 5, 1944, when an A-20 equipped with the flash took off for France, ahead of the D-day invasion forces. Doc recorded the results in his laboratory notebook on June 7, 1944: "The A-20 (No 449) went on its first mission on Monday night June 5 arriving at the target on June 6 around 130 am. The target was two road intersections south of Caen. Due to clouds the pictures were taken at 800 ft – 2000 ft. The photos were very good but there was no overlap. Some flack [sic] from ground machine guns was encountered at a town named Coustances. Villedieu-les-Poêles was photographed. I stayed up until 5 am to see the negatives out of the dryer." (2)
Doc continued to tweak the giant flash system even as it saw use in many more missions during the war. One of my favorite runs, though, took place in August 1944, when Edgerton was testing the flash in England. Stonehenge, standing alone on the Salisbury Plain, proved a perfect subject for his experiments.
The nighttime aerial reconnaissance photography system developed by Edgerton and his colleagues at MIT, in industry, and in the military, was used throughout the war. The adaptation of the flash tube from peacetime photography of things like rodeos in Boston Garden to wartime reconnaissance flights over Europe is a testament to Edgerton's creative mind. Throughout his life, Doc welcomed each new inquiry. "If you don't wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning and want to do something," Edgerton quipped, "why, you're wasting time." (3)

Victorian Photo Image
I have recently acquired a large oval portrait of a Victorian mother from the back with her frock pulled down over her shoulder seeming to nurse her baby. It is a very beautiful image and I couldn't pass it up because I felt it was quite unusual. It does a have a bit of water damage and it has a date of 1901. Has anyone ever seen such a thing? Have any idea of its value?

Read: Brad Richards Is Determined To Be Better This Season
Through two games, Brad Richards has two goals and one assist, four penalty minutes (interference and smothering the puck), six shots, two hits, two blocked shots, two giveaways and an average of 21:44 per game.
On faceoffs, Richards was 13-9 against the Penguins and 8-19 against the Bruins.
Last week in the NY Post, Richards said that he was putting a lot of pressure on himself to be better in his second year with the Rangers than he was in his first season.
Richards said that the vision he has on the ice that has propelled him to be an All-Star was "clogged up" last year and he wasn't feeling "free" with the puck.
He adds "I don't know what it is about me, but I need to be able to go on auto-pilot. Being here now for over a year, living here for most of the summer and staying through the lockout has really helped me. I'm much more comfortable. And I'm expecting that to translate onto the ice."
Richards first assist on Sunday came on the power play when he, at the point, took a one-timer that was stopped and the rebound was batted off the ice by Ryan Callahan.
His second assist saw him carry the puck into the zone, move towards the middle of the ice, lose the puck, get it back, circle near the blue line and make a short pass to Michael Del Zotto who then flipped the puck towards the middle of the ice for Taylor Pyatt to tap it in.

A recent study shows federal guidelines announced Monday to reduce carbon dioxide emissions could result in a cleaner New York by also reducing other harmful air pollutants from power plants.
Led by scientists at Syracuse and Harvard universities, the study released in May shows that carbon emission reduction goals also would reduce co-pollutants that can make people sick, damage forests, crops and lakes, and harm fish and wildlife. The study analyzed an option similar to the new Environmental Protection Agency rule. It found that it would cut emissions of other harmful power plant pollutants by about 750,000 tons per year nationwide. The study is available online at http://wdt.me/cgqCf5.
The EPA's proposal to combat the risks of climate change aims for a 30 percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions from 2005 levels by the year 2030, equal to the emissions from powering more than half of the homes in the U.S. for one year. The proposal assigned each state a reduction target under EPA's Clean Air Act. Some states will be allowed to emit more than others to reach the nationwide goal; New York has a targeted reduction of 44 percent.
The scientific study found that New York is expected to see major improvements in air quality, with less smog-forming ozone and particulate matter, as a result of the new carbon dioxide restrictions that will affect existing power plants.
The most recent EPA study that gauged annual carbon dioxide emissions across the country in 2011 showed that New York was ranked ninth, with about 150 million metric tons in annual emissions. The three states with the highest emissions were Texas, California and Pennsylvania.
Among the three options simulated by the study, the top-performing scenario decreased sulfur dioxide and mercury emissions by 27 percent and nitrogen oxide by 22 percent nationwide by 2020. These findings were compared with a reference case that assumes current EPA rules won't change. The optimal alternative is also projected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector by 35 percent from 2005 levels by 2020.
"When power plants limit carbon dioxide emissions, they can also release less sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutants," Syracuse University professor Charles Driscoll said in a statement. "We know that these other pollutants contribute to increased risk of premature death and heart attacks, as well as increased incidence and severity of asthma and other health effects. They also contribute to acid rain, ozone damage to trees and crops, and the accumulation of toxic mercury in fish."
National Grid, which issued a statement in support of the EPA regulations, established its own carbon dioxide reduction goals of 45 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050, compared with 1990 baseline levels. Total emissions across the utility's coverage area in New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have decreased by about 65 percent from 1990 to 2013, mainly because of investments in electricity generation operations and distribution networks for natural gas and electricity.
"We look forward to working with the Administration, EPA, members of the energy industry and other stakeholders to ensure the regulations reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector and advance America's efficient and clean energy future," Thomas B. King, president of National Grid US, said in a statement.
National Grid spokesperson Wendy Ladd said Tuesday that the utility plans to make improvements to its power plant on Long Island, if necessary, to meet the EPA's emission regulations in New York state.
"On Long Island, we are well-positioned to meet the New York state regulations from the EPA," Ms. Ladd said. "Our environmentalists are still going through the regulations to find out how this is going to affect our power generation in particular. New York state regulations are already very strict, and we've made a lot of investments to meet those requirements. We've made millions of dollars in investments to minimize our carbon footprint."
The EPA will accept comments on its proposal for 120 days. It plans to finalize standards in June 2015. A fact sheet about the proposal is available at www.epa.gov/cleanpowerplan.

HARTFORD – The Lady Rangers traveled to Hartford Friday afternoon to face off against the #2 seed Hurricanes, they battled hard, but in the end it wasn't enough as they fell 1-0.
The game started off rough as a communication breakdown inside the Ranger's 18 was cleaned up by Mariah Palmer, putting her team on top 1-0, just 90 seconds into the contest.
On the ensuing kick-off however, the Rangers went up the field with Tyrah Urie feeding Caitlyn Bernier, for what was thought to be the tying goal. But, the goal was waived off because of an offside call.
ORLEANS–Well what can you saw about Tyrah Urie. 19 regular season goals, and in game one of the play-offs, the freshman netted two more to give Lake Region the 2-1 win against Woodstock on Wednesday afternoon.
However, things are not all sugar and spice and everything nice in Coach Urie's mind, and he had no problem letting me know that his girls were not 100 percent in the game yesterday.
"We did not seem to be playing a very good mental game, which, when you get into the play-offs, you have got to be prepared. You can't make as many mental mistakes as we just did and expect to win."
NEWPORT-The stage was set. A rested healthy North Country Falcons girl's soccer team was poised and ready to defend home turf in Division One's first round. With ten victories recorded during the fall campaign, this team was coming off seven straight wins. A seasoned group of Falcons girls had gone through the soccer wars together with the core dominated by proud seniors.
Rice Memorial had other ideas. The Green Knights struck for two goals in the games first 7 minutes and controlled play for large segments of the game winning the first round match 3-0.
CHELSEA -- The #14 seed Craftsbury Academy Chargers faced off against the #3 seed Chelsea Red Devils in the opening round of the Division 4 State Playoffs. The Chargers gave it all they could, but it was not enough and the Red Devils walked away with a 6-1 victory.
Coach Mike Ruetz said that his team "Came out hot and was ready to play. The passes were on target and the touches on the ball were great. Our offense flowed and worked together and the defense played tremendous against the constant Chelsea pressure."
Craftsbury would head to the half only trailing by a score of 1-0.
ORLEANS–It took a long time, but it was well worth the wait as Shaquille Urie scored with just over four minutes to play in regulation to give Lake Region a 1-0 win over Mill River and send them into the second round of the play-offs.
"I thought we played relatively well given the field conditions," said Coach Evans.
For the bulk of game on Tuesday it was the Rangers who were dictating the pace of play on a beaten up and muddy LRUHS field. The team came out early and was aggressive on the ball, winning 50/50 battles and keeping the play in the Mill River end.
RICHFORD–To end the season, the UCA boys pulled out all the stops for their game against Richford.
"I can honestly say that each and every one of them played the best game of the season," said Coach DeLaBruere
With Dale Martell out due to a Concussion from their game in Canaan on Tuesday, the Crusaders went to Richford with an 11 man roster.
Chris DeLaBruere once again had a stand out performance in the net including a few saves that would make any highlight reel.
NEWPORT– The North Country Falcons opened the playbook up to a few more new chapters as the hometown boys knocked off Burr and Burton's Bulldogs 36-24 on senior night at Veterans Field.
The Falcons got a pair of scoring runs from their outstanding tailback Nick LeClair. The speedy number twenty-four went in from seven yards out as he veered right at the four, shrugging off the last linebacker in the first quarter. In the second quarter, with NC facing a fourth and four from the six, LeClair popped outside and ran over a safety at the goal line on his way to his second scoring play.
ST. JOHNSBURY–On Saturday, NCUHS's cross-country team raced at the NVAC Mountain Division XC Championships on a hilly and muddy St Johnsbury course.
The North Country girls finished 3rd out of 13 teams with the top North Country runner senior captain Steph Watson leading the charge in 4th (21:47). Haley Jo Tetreault also broke into the top ten with a strong race placing her 9th (22:05). North Country's next three scorers were Caitlin Smith (senior), Jordan Howell (freshmen) and Erika Fortin (senior) all finishing in the top 30 to help the Falcon's to the third place finish.
LYNDON– A late official and ensuing darkness combined to cheat the North Country Field hockey team out of a chance at win number two on Friday.
"We could have had the game," said Coach Bouchard, "We dominated the second half."
With only one official at the field for the start of the game the J/V teams got the chance at an early start time, delaying the start of the varsity match.
When the game finally got under way, Molly Manning put North Country ahead just 3 minutes into the contest.
STOWE–The North Country girls soccer team capped off a very successful regular season with a 2-0 win over Stowe.
The win put this year's Falcons in elite company in the history of the program, becoming the first team since 1982 to reach double digits in the win column.
"We are very happy with our girls," said Coach Alexander, "It was a team effort."
The Falcons got on the board ten minutes into the contest when Cara Worth fed Jaime Kramer who beat Stowe's Caroline Armbruster to go up 1-0.

As the National Museum of American History (of which the Lemelson Center is of course a part) is busy charting its way forward during strategic planning, its staff is asking a big question—What makes America…America?
Did your mind simultaneously go blank and run wild at the same time? I know mine did when we were asked to write down five things in a recent staff meeting. Here's what I came up with (no judgement!):
- The Statue of Liberty
- Hollywood/pop culture
- Inaugurations
- Fried foods on sticks at county fairs
- The sheer size of the nation
The staff here has had a chance to weigh in, and now the Museum REALLY, REALLY wants to know what YOU think. The survey asks two questions:
- When you think about America, what three objects or images come to mind?
- What inspires you about America and helps define its essential character?
Everyone's going to have different answers, though we can expect that certain themes will emerge. But this morning I got to thinking, how would the Lemelson Center answer? It'd be impossible to pick only three inventions! In technology, would it be the telephone or Technicolor? On the home front, disposable diapers or Tupperware? If we looked at medicine, could we decide between the implantable pacemaker and prosthetic legs? Would solar roofing shingles or a water purifier represent solving environmental problems?
The options are extensive and equally powerful in their own ways. It would take minds much wiser and greater than mine to pick just three. But I think the second question is easier to answer on behalf of the Lemelson Center. We believe that America is resilient, problem-solving, creative and resourceful—in short, inventive. America has always charged forward, hunting for the next big idea, solution, product, technology, what have you. The Lemelson Center thinks this inventive spirit is so integral to America that we document it—through our exhibitions, collections, programs, etc.—in order to foster that spirit. And we can't wait to see what America comes up with next.

Hi all!
New here but not new to dogs
My name is Val from Chester County, Pa. If you ask my family my life consists of dogs, dogs and more dogs! But I also enjoy my horses and of course my two kids and husband!
I have been involved in dog rescue for years, all breeds, but bullies are my heart dogs
We have 5 personal dogs:
Weis Timberwoof von Sangmeister- German Shepherd 3 years old
Roxy the Rockstar Kardashian- German Shepherd 2 years old
Spuds McSangmeister- Jack Russell/Rat Terrier 1 years old
Chili Chalupa- Chihuahua 12 years old
Big Mama My Girl- American Bully 9 years old
And yes, that is an eclectic collection but they were all 'rescue rejects' meaning for some reason or another they were unadoptable due to behavioral issues. Which relates to a lot of management and training to ensure everyone coexists happily. Add to that a foster dog or two at any given time and maybe my family is right, dogs dogs dogs!
We also have 3 horses:
Bailey's Paint- 19 year old APHA gelding
Charm- 13 year old Mini
Squeak- 13 year old Mini (brother to Charm)
And that rounds out the family...throwing in my 6 year old Son and 8 year old Daughter plus the husband.
Eventually I will add pics along the way of everyone, but to start off here is My Girl...Big Mama....

OmniGraffle 6.4
Taptic is here.
OmniGraffle for iOS
OmniGraffle for Mac
Version 6.4 • Requires OS X 10.10
Create Anything
OmniGraffle for Mac, iPad, and iPhone all come packed with features that make it really easy to get started on any type of sketch, wireframe, document, figure, or whatever.
Design how you like
Extensive options for objects, canvases, templates, inspectors, and stencils in OmniGraffle mean that you can set out to do something well, quickly. Exactly what you'd expect.
Design your own stencils, or benefit from the generosity of others. Search inside the app with Stenciltown or around the net—stencils help you create documents even faster. Featured: UX Kits
Save your best starting points for later—templates make for a strong foundation for quick, consistent graffles.
Vector Drawing
Don't do more work than you need to: create one infinitely resizable image for everywhere. OmniGraffle for Mac and iPad make getting your vector drawings out there easier—even SVGs for the web. (SVG = Pro)
Smart Guides
Evenly space out objects without thinking about it—smart guides are visual and super smart. Or, just use Snap to Grid. You'll see your objects rubberband to the grid you specify. Set it up in your 'Minor grid steps' inspector-box.
All the extras
You're not going to find a tediously navigable set of menubar items in OmniGraffle—just your favorite features, easy to find and easier than ever to use.
The Kitchen Sink
Add all the right elements to each and every document with friendly, understandable tools. Stuff like path-following text, custom diagram styling, and everlasting shape combinations.
Blending Modes
New Fill filters and effects have been added with the ability to blur, pixelate, and magnify content behind an object. Finally: simple fill effects are easy to pull off.
Filesharing & Visio Support
Share your Graffles with others—even those on PCs—with a vast selection of export formats. PNG, SVG, EPS…even the Photoshop image format.
Autolayout & more
Family trees, org charts, and brainstorming have never been easier. Turn it on, start typing, and you're practically done.
Doc Management
A novel way to check out all of your templates and recently opened documents. Get a quick preview and then straight to work. You'll even be able to group graffles on the iPad within folders—just like you can on Mac.
Work how you like
Make OmniGraffle yours, each and every way. From flexible inspectors to your own templates and stencils, it'll be your most used, most comfortable tool, every day.
Advanced Document Control
Pixel-perfect spacing, alignment, and sizing. Design by the pixel, point, inch or mile. You can change your document's scale at any time in the future, too.
A law-abiding citizen
Any app getting more than a few minutes of your time each day should fit in to its environment. And OmniGraffle does just that on both iOS 8 and Yosemite.
Flexible Inspectors
In OmniGraffle, inspectors are key to working fast. On the iPad, inspectors are smarter than ever—you'll find just the right setting. On the Mac, we really out-inspectored ourselves. Choose between sidebar, floating, or individualized palette inspectors.
Rapid Prototyping
Use your finger to start a lo-fi sketch or outline on the iPad. Add fidelity when you need it, or ship a rough draft off to your client in a PDF.
Sync Stuff
Sync all of your Graffle files with all of your devices with OmniPresence. It's a secure, free way to keep your documents in sync, and it's built in to OmniGraffle on iOS, and integrates natively on Mac.
What's in Pro
AppleScript & Actions Support
Code up your own workflow with AppleScript support. And, with Actions, set up basic automation like hiding layers, switching to a different view or canvas, and even running AppleScripts.
Resolution-independent creativity
For when you're designing for multiple screens, on multiple screens. When zoom is at 100%, match a screen pixel, Apple point, or PostScript point. All your design work will look the same on all your displays.
Shared Layers
We probably don't need to explain this, but here we go! Set a layer to be shared with every other canvas. Changes on Canvas A will automatically appear on Canvas B.
Make an expandable table out of any shape. To add another row or column, just resize the object.
Shape Combinations
Combine, unite, or subtract shapes from any other shape. OmniGraffle will automatically save the originals so you can always reverse and tweak.
Visio Support
Have a Microsoft Visio® document or stencil you need to work on? Import nearly all Visio® formats, or export a Graffle file to Visio® XML if someone is on a PC.
Object Properties Inspector
Store key:value pairs, insert links, or add notes on any object—you'll be able to use them later for AppleScript, if you'd like, or to have a searchable Stencil. AppleScript support is only available on OS X.
Blending & Fill Patterns
Never again will you need to switch over to an image-editing app for a simple mask or blending filter. You'll find dead simple effects and filters right inside OmniGraffle.
Multiple Editing Windows
Side-by-side or one per screen, use multiple windows to see both the big picture and tiny, zoomed details.
Pro Export Options
All the standards, like PNG, PDF, and JPEG. Plus extras like SVG, Photoshop (with layers!), and Visio for both Mac and iOS.
Object Geometry Controls
Get really specific with X- and Y-coordinates on any point on any object!
Subgraph Support
Use subgraphs to hide content you don't always need—or to make huge graphs more manageable—behind a collapsible or expandable object. It's there, but tidy.
Presentation Mode
Show off your work with a fullscreen, chromeless view into your Graffle diagram.
See it in action
Check it out.
OmniGraffle customers have created amazing stencils to work even faster. Stenciltown is where you can preview, download, and share stencils—you can even install new stencils within OmniGraffle itself. Enjoy.

Since I began writing this column a few weeks ago, I've had people stop me on the street to ask who Uncle Spud is. As you will recall, Uncle Spud is the wise old guy I talk to when I want to write about controversial subjects like where all the deer have gone.
My relationship with Uncle Spud began a few years ago when my LDS ward did a pioneer project. As a part of the project, members were asked to write stories about their pioneer ancestors. I was jealous.
My fathers' family came from Ireland in the late 1800s and they don't have any great pioneer stories. So, after listening to some nice people talk about family links to such notables as Porter Rockwell, Alfred Packer, and Butch Cassidy, I did what any Mormon Bishop with a sense of humor would do - I made up an ancestor. It was easy. I simply went to my computer and started a genealogy file that I named, Create an Ancestor File. Anyone can do it.
I now have a famous ancestor whose exploits top any pioneer story, anytime, anywhere. Uncle Spud from Ireland is quite a guy. I am constantly doing research on Uncle Spud and we are finding many amazing facts about his life and times.
For instance, when Uncle Spud first came west, he was stopped by a large body of water called Old Man River. Someone wrote a song about it. Uncle Spud couldn't swim, and so he went for miles along the river looking for someone to ferry him across. Finally, he found an old Italian lady who owned a boat. Her name was Mrs. Sippi. Uncle spud hired her to row him across. He was so grateful for her help that he re-named the river in her honor.
Also, back when Uncle Spud came west, the Gateway to the West in St. Louis Missouri was made of barbed wire. Uncle Spud was sure to close the gate behind him. But, just a few years later, someone left it open. That's what really happened to all the buffalo. They got out.
Uncle Spud actually came west a year before Brigham Young and the Mormons. There is a rumor that he was banished from the church after a torrid love affair with Brigham Young's bounteous daughter, Tooele. The church practiced polygamy in those days, and Tooele practiced often. Fortunately, she had no competition. She was a girl of biblical proportions who counted as a plural wife all by herself. Uncle Spud was lucky to escape.
When he first came to Utah, alone and down on his luck, Uncle Spud met the chief of the Ute Indians, a man named Williams, at his camp, known as Camp Williams. Uncle Spud had discovered a marble monument at the mouth of Immigration Canyon that said "This is the Place" and so he knew that Brigham Young would want to settle there. So, he bought the Salt Lake Valley from the Utes. Actually, he traded them Skull Valley and the University of Utah, home of the running Utes, for surface rights to the valley. A renegade named Kennecott still owns the mineral rights.
Chief Williams was so impressed with Uncle Spud's negotiating skills that he made him a chief of the tribe. He even wanted to make him a blood brother. But, when Uncle Spud saw the dull, flint knife, he declined. So, the Indians called him, Chief Timpa-noguts. They named a mountain in his honor.
Uncle Spud married Chief Williams' daughter, an Indian princess named Winnemucca. He named a town for her somewhere in Nevada. Winnemucca had a twin sister named Runnamucca. Runnamucca turned her back on the Indian ways and ran off with a riverboat gambler. They started the first gambling casino in Las Vegas, Nev.
And so, as you can see, Uncle Spud is quite a guy. I expect to consult with him often as we discuss local issues and topics of concern in this column.
Uncle Spud doesn't get out much. So, if you come across any gems of historical significance that might be of use to my illustrious family genealogy, please forward them to my attention. We are discovering more about Uncle Spud all the time.
Be sure to stay tuned.

Theft victim accused of firing at deputies
AGUILA — Authorities say a man whose truck was stolen in northwestern Maricopa County is accused of firing warning gun shots from a distance at sheriff's deputies who had found the vehicle.
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Joaquin Enriquez says the deputies weren't injured and didn't return fire.
Enriquez says the truck's owner was told to back off and let deputies handle the search in the desert near the community of Aguila early Sunday morning, but instead he drove around with two others looking for the truck.
Enriquez says the truck's owner initially denied involvement in the shooting and said he saw people running from the truck.
A helicopter and a SWAT team were then called to the area.
Enriquez says the truck's owner eventually admitted to firing the shots.

The governments and dictatorships ruling over the so-called BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — agreed to set up a new world bank that analysts say could further marginalize the increasingly unstable U.S. dollar, possibly helping to eventually dethrone it as the global reserve currency. Meeting in Durban, South Africa, last week at their fifth annual summit, the socialist and communist-minded BRICS regimes also announced their support for creating a new world currency and full-fledged global governance.
Other top priorities outlined in the final agreement, dubbed the "eThekwini Declaration," include promoting global so-called "sustainable development," which according to the United Nations entails a radical restructuring of human civilization. Also key on the list of BRICS rulers' demands: further centralization of power in the hands of the UN, more government meddling in the economy, ramped up attacks on national sovereignty, increased power for Third World dictators on the global stage, and much more.
In February, the premier alliance of socialist political parties, known as the Socialist International, gathered in Portugal for its "Council meeting." Following the recent Congress held in South Africa amid reports that the ruling communist-oriented regime is involved in genocide, the SI meeting adopted a declaration calling for "a new internationalism, proposing the creation of a new global set of agreements, the restructuring of the WTO to recycle trading profits from severe wage differentials toward authentic global income security, and a new IMF and global currency regime built on the multilateral synthetic 'bancor' system conceived by Keynes himself."
As The New American has been reporting for years, the push for a planetary fiat currency is gaining traction as the privately owned Federal Reserve continues to destroy the dollar. Unsurprisingly, the BRICS regimes agreed with the Socialist International and other powerful forces seeking to build a global central bank with a new world currency. In the final BRICS Durban declaration, signed by all five rulers on March 27, the totalitarian-minded alliance openly called for expanding the role of the International Monetary Fund's proto-global currency known as Special Drawing Rights.
"We support the reform and improvement of the international monetary system, with a broad based international reserve currency system providing stability and certainty," the five regimes said in the declaration, calling for Third World dictators to have a greater say in the IMF and the emerging global monetary regime. "We welcome the discussion about the role of the [IMF's] SDR in the existing international monetary system including the composition of SDR's basket of currencies."

Burglar Alarms, a Must Have
June 4, 2014 by
It is a sad fact of life that more and more burglaries and attempted burglaries are seemingly being carried out during the recent few years of economic uncertainty. However sturdy you believe your doors to be and however many chains and bolts you have on them the opportunist thief will still find a way in. You only have to look at some of the crime reality programmes on television to see how the police can enter a house so easily with a simple iron or steel enforcer. This is an excellent time to consider Phoenix Burglar alarms and Phoenix home security alarms. They are without doubt the primary method of helping to prevent burglaries and thus protecting your property.
They can be used in conjunction with shed alarms, garage alarms and even driveway and garden alarms providing overall security both indoors and outdoors. There are also panic alarms for anyone who considers they are vulnerable for example an elderly person living alone.
National Opinion Poll research has clearly shown that burglar and security alarms are a worthwhile investment and a good deterrent against burglaries and he continuing protection of all your worldly goods. Having a burglar alarm fitted may even save you money on your home and contents insurance. The insurance company may require a third-party verification inspection and confirmation that there is an effective operation of the system. Statistics from governmental sources show that almost two thirds of attempted burglaries meet with no success on homes with burglar alarms fitted. This is confirmation that their presence is a valuable tool thus the reasoning behind many offices and businesses now having them installed.
Although not too costly especially in view of what they might save you by deterring burglars these alarms are becoming an important partof everyday life. You can also purchase wireless alarms, also inexpensive and easy to work.
If you are considering the installation of a burglar alarm then do not hesitate. Too late and it may cost you more than you think! Try not to be too worried about how complex the installation of a burglar system is. They are easy to install but for a small extra cost any reputable company will install it for you professionally. They will certainly help deter would be burglars from entering your home.
The best way and probably the most effective way of protecting your home is to install a burglar alarm system and make it as difficult as you possibly can for any villain to enter. If they do manage to get in then ensure your valuables are well hidden and difficult to locate. Order your system right away.

SHAWNEE — Former McLoud elementary teacher Kimberly Crain sobbed Wednesday as she pleaded no contest to dozens of sex crimes against her former students and other girls.
Former Oklahoma teacher, former professor enter pleas to sex crimes against children
At the same time, one victim's mother laughed gleefully in the back of the courtroom.
Crain, who sat huddled and alone before standing before the judge, had good reason to break down.
Moments before, co-defendant Gary Doby, a former Oklahoma Baptist University professor, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the case. Doby, who has been known to use the name "Uncle G," pleaded guilty to 20 sex crimes.
Crain, a former third-grade teacher, is scheduled to be sentenced March 22.
Pottawatomie County District Judge John Canavan offered Crain little hope after she entered a blind plea — meaning the sentence will be left entirely up to the judge.
"The least I can sentence you to is 25 years," Canavan told Crain.
Doby, 66, will have to serve at least 38 years behind bars before becoming eligible for parole. His punishment was the result of a deal with prosecutors.
"He'll be something like 104 when he comes up for parole," Pottawatomie County District Attorney Richard Smothermon said after the pleas were entered Wednesday morning. "I don't think he's going to make it."
'Definition of a pedophile'
Doby, who the prosecutor described as the "definition of a pedophile," also asked to be admitted to a sexual predator treatment program.
"Mr. Doby, you're going to have a lot of time to sit there and think about what you've done to these victims, and I hope you do that," Canavan said.
"I will," Doby responded.
Parents of some of the young girls — most of them former students of Crain at McLoud Elementary School — attended the plea hearing Wednesday, some sitting for hours before the defendants stood in front of the judge just before noon.
One mother, who laughed out loud when it was announced Doby would serve a life sentence, lashed out at the defendants as court broke for lunch.
"I hope you rot in hell," the woman said to Doby as he sat in the courtroom. The mother was not told to stop by any court personnel in the building's largest courthouse.
Doby, who was called other names by the angry mother, seemed to nod his head in agreement during the exchange.
"It felt good," the mother said. "I think they deserve everything they're going to get."
Crain, 49, rocked from side to side as she stood before Canavan. As she pleaded no contest to each of the dozens of counts against her, her sobs grew more audible.
As she cried, some parents laughed.
"I'm just glad they're getting what they deserve," a father of one of the victims said afterward. "I just want this thing over."
After Canavan set her sentencing, Crain asked if she might be released to home confinement with electronic monitoring.
Noting she faced a long minimum sentence, Canavan said, "I'm not going to do that."
Crain's husband was not in court. Her mother was, Smothermon said.
While waiting for his case to be called, a gray-haired and bespectacled Doby sat with other inmates along a side wall in the seat farthest from courtroom spectators.

PETIT LARCENY - POTSDAM - Canton-based state police charged Sasha S. Monroe, 23, of 841 County Route 38, Norfolk with petit larceny Friday evening after responding to a shoplifting complaint at the Potsdam Wal-Mart. Monroe attempted to leave the store with merchandise hidden in her clothing. The merchandise consisted of batteries and various personal grooming products valued at $316.93. She was released on an appearance ticket for Jan. 17 in Potsdam Town Court.
It was Monroes third petit larceny arrest over the past two weeks.
Monroeinitially was charged with one count of petit larceny, a Class A misdemeanor, after attempting to steal items from Al Smiths Superette on the afternoon of Dec. 29, state police said.
Monroe was informed by store staff that she was not welcome to return, troopers said. Three days later, however, she allegedly went back to the market and tried to leave without paying for two bottles of soda.
The second incident earned her a second petit-larceny charge, as well as one count of third-degree criminal trespassing, a class B misdemeanor.
TRESPASSING - NORFOLK - Massena-based state police charged Serena H. McLaughlin, 40, of 100 Water St., Massena, with trespassing Friday following an investigation into a complaint received at 2:44 p.m. Dec. 2 from the town of Norfolk. A 15-year-old female from Massena was charged with criminal mischief as part of that same investigation.

The Temagami comes with a Scandinavian style pouch sheath retaining the knife securely without the need for snaps or straps.
