Heung-min Son: The next 'Shinji Kagawa' coveted by Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal
When a player shines in the Bundesliga, it is only a matter of time before he is linked with a move to one of two destinations: Munich or England. In the case of Heung-min Son, it has been Blighty which has been more vigourously knocking on the door. In the last few weeks, Hamburger SV's Korean starlet has been linked with just about anyone who is anyone in the Premier League. And deservedly so.
Last summer, it would have seemed unthinkable that Hamburg would be fighting to keep a player from moving to one of Europe's top clubs. If the reports were to be believed, HSV were a club in crisis. Frank Arnesen's revolution of the playing staff had failed, the coach and the Director of Sport couldn't stand the sight of one another and 2012/13 was set to be the season in which the club ended its unique run of having competed in every single one of the Bundesliga's fifty seasons.
Fast forward to the first days of spring, and HSV are banking on European football next year. After an initial burst of energy thanks to the arrival of Rene Adler and the return of Rafael van der Vaart helped them through the early season, Thorsten Fink's side have cemented themselves in the mixer for the Champions League and Europa League spots. And while van der Vaart's performance level may have dropped, it has been more than compensated for in the form of Son – Hamburg's very own wonder from the Far East.
The 20 year old has scored 9 goals in the Bundesliga this season, a figure which appears a lot less modest when one examines the manner in which he scored each one. Elsewhere on the field he has been equally impressive, as efficient on the left as he is on the right, with a grace in possession which would not look out of place in the bowels of the Camp Nou, and a quiet confidence which seems, for this season at least, to be indestructible. Comparisons with Shinji Kagawa have been inevitable, and his performances this year have marked his arrival as an indispensable first team player, nearly five years after his cautious arrival in the HSV youth setup.
Such is the result of a rigid education in football, as imposed by a football coach father whose demanding nature has become a thing of legend in Hamburg. In an interview on German TV last month, Son recanted an anecdote in which his father, on a visit to Germany, forbade his son from relaxing with team mates after training, and instead put him through a gruelling workout in the gym. "I can relax a little more when he goes home, even these days", grinned Son.
Such, also, is the result of an astonishing natural talent, and one which is coveted by the likes of United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool. Son's agent, Thies Bliemeister, dangled a tit bit in front of the English press last week when he declared that "we are under no pressure from HSV", but reports from Germany would suggest that Hamburg are only a few details away from securing their new superstar until 2016.
One man urging Son to complete the deal is former Spurs man Rafael van der Vaart. The Dutchman told the German press that "I think it'd be better for Sonny to stay here. I'm not just saying that because I want him to be good for us. This is the first great season of his career, and he can't get excited and switch too soon. At big clubs, young players can often end up on the bench."
It is not just the words of more experienced players which will be keeping Son from moving to England, though. The Bundesliga has experienced a recent influx of players from Far East Asia, with many, like Kagawa, using the league as a stepping stone towards greater things. Having been snapped up in his teens, though, Son has professed to "feeling at home in Hamburg". Though he may not look as comfortable in front of the television camera as he does on the football field, his fluency in German is impressive, and with HSV's campaign for European football on solid ground at the moment, he has a handsome number of opportunities right where he is.Tagged in: Arsenal, football, Liverpool, Manchester City, manchester united, Tottenham

November 30, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. officials say the only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed and is in U.S. custody.
The officials say Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release was part of a negotiation that includes the release of five Afghan detainees held in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The negotiation between the U.S. and the Taliban was mediated by the government of Qatar.
The 28-year-old Berghdal had been held by the Taliban since June 30, 2009. The officials say he is in good condition and able to walk.
The officials insisted on anonymity in order to describe the details on Bergdahl's release.

City Council committee moves to restore AtWork! grant
November 19, 2008
By Jon Savelle
With one exception, grant funding recommendations by the Human Services Commission were endorsed Nov. 12 by the City Council's Services and Operations Committee.
Formed roughly a year ago, the volunteer citizens' commission has been working since December 2007 to evaluate and prioritize funding requests from 44 nonprofit service providers. The group's efforts won kudos from committee members Josh Schaer, Eileen Barber and John Rittenhouse, who declared themselves delighted with the results.
Except for one thing. The commission denied an $8,000 funding request from AtWork!, a sheltered workshop and job training organization for persons with disabilities. The Issaquah institution has had a long relationship with the city, and for years has received a small fraction of its funding in the form of city grants.
This year was different. Apparently working from incorrect information and simple misunderstandings, the commission concluded that AtWork! did not merit a grant for its employment referral program. It was the only agency that had been funded in previous years that was denied for 2009.
Not surprisingly, AtWork! administrators reacted with consternation and alarm — in part because they had had no inkling of the grant denial until contacted by The Press the previous week. When the committee meeting came up, AtWork! CEO Christina Brandt; Barbara di Michele, a former board president of the organization; and Cheryl Green, manager for King County's Working Age Adult program in the Developmental Disabilities Division, were there to protest.
They listened while commission members explained their decision, which relied on a belief that AtWork! had ample funds, had lots of other city support and planned to close its sheltered workshop.
Brandt said each of these is incorrect, and that the funding in question is used to find community jobs for AtWork! clients outside of the workshop. That program, she said, has a 100 percent success rate.
After hearing from Brandt, Green and di Michele, the committee was convinced.
"I've heard enough testimony for a decision to be made," said Councilman Josh Schaer.
He suggested that the city restore AtWork's funding for $8,000 by increasing the city's overall grant budget a like amount, to $219,000.
Barber and Rittenhouse agreed, saying they would pass that recommendation on to the full council at its Dec. 1 meeting. Rittenhouse suggested to Brandt that she attend that meeting and be prepared to describe the agency's work and funding request.
"I'll be there," she said.
After the committee's action, Brandt said she was happy with the outcome.
"The city has always been very supportive," she said. "This was a new process for them. It would have been helpful if AtWork! had been invited to the meetings where defunding was discussed, but I'm really pleased."

US Envoy Assures Israel: Attacking Iran Still an Option
Hours After Deal, Ambassador Is Talking Up War
"All options are on the table" has been a sort of punctuation in US foreign policy with respect to Iran, a tacit threat of a military strike designed to "reassure" hawks of their potential bellicosity. The weekend signing of an interim deal with Iran should've brought that to an end.
But not where US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro was concerned, as in an interview with Israeli TV Channel 2, Shapiro once again talked up the prospect of the US using "the military option" against Iran.
Shapiro's interview centered on downplaying the significance of the deal, which Israel's government opposes, and playing up the possibility of the US attacking Iran for some imagined violation.
They ring particularly hollow at this point, however, as the US attacking Iran now would be virtually unthinkable, and Israeli analysts, who by and large support the deal, say they don't see Iran violating it either. Rather, Shapiro's comments come off as an insincere attempt to keep Israeli hawks' hopes up about a war that, let's face it, isn't happening.

Goes to show PEACE never had a chance.
In the Iran preliminary six month deal the big winner is definitely Israel. Iran stops many of its programs but nothing was even mentioned about Israel joining the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT) or of any need for reduction or destruction of their stockpile of nuclear weapons. Israeli leaders are already discussing the need to increase their fleet of submarines capable or delivering nuclear war heads
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Now, if you can miss the prime movers there, you might also believe Saddam's gas moved to Syria, that North Vietnam attacked the Maddox, that Arabs run Hollywood, in Human-Amphibian transmogrification, in the aviational superiority of brooms, …, that certain bridges are 'reeeal cheap,' …., …
I am encouraged by the lack of pro-Israeli hasbara on Antiwar.com anymore. Several years ago, any realistic comment regarding Israel was attacked by hordes of these professional liars followed by a deluge of Islamo-bashing from the same. Now, nothing. What happened to them?
It is great to see the truth beginning to prevail – now if the truth would only start to appear in Congress and in a lot of pulpits on Sunday mornings.
More proof that Obama does not have control over messages being sent by his representatives. US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro makes it clear that he takes his direction from Tel Aviv and not Foggy Bottom…and most assuredly not from 1600. Time to replace the current ambassador with a non-Zionist, for a change.
About time Kerry pull that damn pacifier from the lips of Netanyahu and stop reassuring him that military options is still there on the table.
I think (hope) they are just trying to mollify the mad, foaming at the mouth dog, that is Israel, and privately telling Iran to please ignore this tactic since it means nothing.
Without the prospects of a genocide in Iran the Israelis will go into a deep depression. They have not had a bloodbath in several years now and the withdrawal syndrome is
They focused their efforts towards Reddit.
John F Kerry (the living JFK), could let Nutty Yahoo talk him into war with Iran. Kerry always flip flops. He supported the war in Iraq in the beginning. He opposed the war when the incumbent Democrats voting for the war lost their seats to Republicans. He regrets the Vietnam War but will do what Nutty Yahoo wants.
It's useless to argue much about Israel with people who hate Jews. That's what's happened to them. There is reason to criticize some of Israel's policies. But there is no reason to single Israel out, which is what makes it anti-Jewish.
Very good question. I wish I understood why. S'pect it only appears as dramatic as it has when it's congruent with a prevailing spirit. I also haven't seen a self-proclaimed vet/wounded vet come here to flag-wave; most recently I've seen one here writing thoughtfully.
Denis Praeger within the last hour: ~"if the American people aren't bothered by Iran and Syria…by Hezbolla and whoever…what are they bothered by?" I think a new pattern, if not here, is to wail about cynicism regarding militarism as something like 'moral' exhaustion or degeneracy. You've just lost you're passion, see, you're decadent. We're probably still not to the point where we see that the word 'moral' often means something very different coming from them –Praeger seems to run 80% on general appeal to e.g. gender relations, feel-good self-help/'cognitive therapy' etc. …building/maintaining his base with that branding, then occasionally I hear these insinuations that there's something wrong with you 'cause you're not killing Arabs… If that has any success, it'll be interesting to see how/when that success is expressed. I s'pect people taken in by that don't talk as much as the freaks from the last decade.
"All options are on the table" is an illegal threat of force by criminals.
"the deal" being forced on Iran is illegal dictatorial force, illegally limiting Iran's rights under international law, being carried out by isolated criminal states, the US, Britain, France, and Israel.
The rest of the world supports Iran's legal rights to use nuclear energy.
I wonder why the US doesn't? Could it be that it wants to invade Iran for a third time, perhaps kill another million Iranians, and go back to having complete control of Iran's energy resources?
And this illegal use of coercion and force, by the world's biggest violator of nuclear regulations, is considered laudable of Obama. It is a "great achievement" that he successfully used the strongest military force in world history, the US, to limit the rights of some small country who has never attacked anyone but has had over a million of its citizens killed in aggressive invasions by the US.
Typical second rate Hasbara BS.
of course reasonable people do not hate jews, so much as the actions of certain jews- israeli regime and its supporters spcifically. just as people hate the action of certain other racist movements in history
Nah. Look out for provocations in Jerusalem. The Israelis will try to start a Third Intifada so they can whine about 'poor defenseless Israel surrounded by anti-semites who deny the Holocaust (TM) and want to wipe Israel off the Map.'
Look out for false flag operations elsewhere. Naftali Bennett has stated that the world shouldn't be surprised if a dirty nuke goes off in the US or in Europe. Fortunately all of Iran's nuclear material is accounted for and fully monitored, unlike Israel's nuclear weapons.
I'd take issue with this no-reason-to-single-her-out biz. You can watch congress creatures parroting her, you can watch the rhetoric of her top banana (e.g., "it's 1938 again" and "world must" hurry to burn our witches for us), you can acknowledge her top notch espionage against the US generally –including e.g. the incestuous contracting with NSA, and you can watch as she sells nuclear fantasies (acknowledged to be fantasies by both US and Israeli intel) in her war against a potential technological and political rival. A good general rule is if there's someone other than her being 'singled out,' and you aint especially got 'em dead-to-rights, it's probably her scapegoat.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Drake Ortmann is one of 12 contestants in this year's Mr. THS pageant.
That's meant early morning rehearsals to work on the show's dance number and lots of fundraising for the Children's Miracle Network.
A tour through the neo-natal intensive care unit at Sacred Heart Medical Center really showed Drake and the other contestants how important their work really is, seeing the premature babies being helped by the money they're raising.
"I think that's the moment that hit a lot of people," Ortmann said. "I know I got kind of emotional, and a couple other guys did, and yeah, that was pretty serious."
But Drake doesn't have to look far to see how Children's Miracle Metwork is helping save lives every day.
He just has to look at his little sister Magnolia.
Now 15, she was born tiny and sick. Doctors told her parents she had no chance of surviving.
"I weighed 3 pounds and 12 ounces," she said.
"I was like 10 pounds, 4 ounces," her brother said.
"She said they were so scared, and they said to just abort and there was no chance, but that people like prayed for me and it was a true miracle," Magnolia said of her family's reaction, "and that the doctors were surprised, and they're still surprised today."
Doctors have reason to be surprised: Magnolia - Nolie for short - is completely healthy.
"I did cheer and I just finished basketball and now I'm doing softball," she said.
Like any normal siblings, Drake and Nolie sometimes argue, but they're very close.
"Well, he's really funny," Nolie said. "He's really crazy and he's really nice and he's my favorite sibling - don't tell Rhett and Athena, but yeah."
Knowing that his little sister was a miracle baby gives Drake extra incentive to work hard on the pageant.
"It's fun and great for the kids we're raising money for so it's all around great," he said.
When her brother hits the stage April 12 at 6 p.m., Nolie will be right there in the audience cheering on her big brother.

Hugh Hefner can't really accuse his estranged wife of cramping his style, but he's seeking more freedom just the same.
The Playboy founder and main man on The Girls Next Door has filed for divorce from Kimberley Conrad Hefner after 20 years of marriage—the last 11 of which they've spent separated.
In his petition filed Sept. 4 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Hef asks that a judge trim his monthly support payments from $40,000, the amount he's been shelling out since they split up in 1998, to $20,000.
The pajama-favoring publishing mogul has given Kimberley more than $12 million over the past decade, according to the filing. They have two teenage children together.
"There is no reason she cannot take the steps to become self-supporting immediately," Hef's lawyer states.
According to court docs, Hefner collects roughly $290,580 a month from Playboy, HMH Productions, Social Security, investments and other income channels.
But of course, all that money only leads to more problems.
Kimberley, 47, sued her 83-year-old hubby earlier this year, claiming she's owed about $4 million from the sale of their private Holmby Hills residence next door to the Playboy Mansion.
The 7,300-square-foot home sold for $18 million in August, per the Los Angeles Times.
This was Hefner's second marriage. He and first wife Mildred Williams played house from 1949 to 1959 and had two children together.

Orania inks deal with Xhosa communityComment on this story
Orania, Northern Cape -
The Afrikaner cultural separatist town of Orania and the Xhosa community of Mnyameni signed an agreement on Tuesday to help both settlements achieve greater self-reliance.
They had agreed that their communities should take greater responsibility for their own progress, Orania spokesman Jaco Kleynhans said in a statement.
"By signing this agreement today we prove that an alternative exists for the present syndrome of dependency that affects so many South African communities."
The agreement outlined the priorities of both parties.
The Mnyameni group wanted to move away from being "totally dependent" to an "economically, socially and environmentally" self-reliant community.
Orania aimed "to be a self-determining Afrikaner community taking responsibility for its own future in terms of economy, culture and labour".
They resolved to recognise their differences and commonalties for the purposes of working towards the improvement of both groups.
According to the agreement, they would share "the knowledge and experience at our disposal, to unlock the potential of our people, develop the assets of our areas, empower our members and capacitate our institutions". - Sapa

Moorestown Friends
League: Friends League
Key players: Jake Brown, G; Dan Richards, G; Michael Cunningham, F

League: Independent
Key players: Brandon Rembert, Jr., PG; Daison Long, Sr., F; Stacy Thomas, So., G/F
Outlook: With just two returning letterwinners, the Tornados lack the type of experience needed to compete on a nightly basis. A .500 record would be a realistic goal this season.

League: Independent
Key players: Mike Cruz, Sr., G; Dom Ransom, Sr., C; Breton Baker, Jr., F; Juan Ibarra, So., G; Edward Acuna, Sr., F

CEO Exit Interview
Two months ago, Spencer Brown was named CEO of Dial Global. After sharing the seat with Ken Williams and David Landau, Brown was chosen to lead the turnaround of Dial Global. And, by all indications, the company was making significant progress on turning around. When it became clear to the Dial Global board that Paul Caine was interested in the CEO position, Brown was surprised to learn his services at the company were no longer needed. Friday was Brown's last day. Caine starts today. We spoke to Brown about the details of his departure, the challenges of the network business, and we asked him if the Westwood One merger was a mistake? LISTEN HERE.

As for who I am, I am just a Season 3 Gold V player (mainly stopped after getting the rewards, honestly), and a Season 2 Silver player that watches high-level play and high-ranked players' streams often. This guide is a combination of what I see and what I practice in my games.
Please keep in mind this is still under construction for Season 4. As we are still in Preseason, this is a work-in-progress / under construction until we are into Season 4. For now, the basic stuff is in!
Update Log:
- 4/4/2013 - Expanded information, reworked some mastery pages, added in images to help make the guide feel a bit more smooth. Also cleaned up overall structure a bit.
- 7/24/2013 - Huge delay in updating. Basically revamped the AD carry section a bit; may work on the other sections later.
- 11/24/2013 - Season 4 is here. I slightly updated a few of the chapters, but am not sure how much more I will update. I may wait until later in the season. For now, the rune pages are still relevant.
- 11/27/2013 - Season 4 updates have been applied to AD Fighter / Marksman / Assassins sections for runes and masteries. Added rune page stuff to AP Carry sections. Will update later in the future most likely. Older pictures might be dead; if that is the case, use the text.
- 11/27/2013 ~ 2 - Updated more today. Will likely finish the whole guide over the next 2-3 days. Fixed pictures so far for Season 4.
- 11/27/2013 ~ 3 - All of the basic information for Preseason 4 is finished. As we go deeper into the Season, I will continue to update this, especially when the Rune rework happens. For now, I will update if I see anything interest that appears.
- 12/1/2013 - New month, new experiments. I added some nifty Support pages since they are getting more popular if you want to try out new stuff. I changed the title again because I'm not entirely sure how to describe exactly what I am doing.
- 12/17/2013 - Fixed guide structure a bit and added some new mastery pages.

Jeff Alona's Photo Contest Entry
I commute by bicycle for many reasons. When I realized that I could recycle soda cans, plastic, bottles, etc., I wanted to keep things environmentally conscious. My wife, children and I were able to save our cash earnings, purchase and restore vintage used bicycles for our family to enjoy. This has allowed us to spend more quality time outdoors together, stay fit and keep one less vehicle off the highway. From pulling my daughter to preschool in the bike trailer, riding with my son to Cub Scouts, to a midweek date with my wife for a glass of Pinot Noir, it has truly become a lifestyle.

About Rebecca Nurse
Rebecca Towne Nurse (1621 - 1692), daughter of William Towne and Joanna Blessing, was born in 1621 at Great Yarmouth, England, the second of eight children. She married Francis Nurse about 1645, with whom she had eight children. Rebecca Towne Nurse's conviction of witchcraft in the Salem Witch Trials, and subsequent 19 July 1692 execution of this extremely pious, frail 71-year-old woman, is credited as creating the impetus for a shift in public opinion about the validity of the witch trials.

Early Life
Although not known for certain, it is possible that the family emigrated aboard "Rose of Yarmouth" in April 1637. They settled in Salem Village in 1640. Around 1645, Rebecca married Francis Nurse, who had also been born in England. Her husband was a "tray maker" by trade, who likely made many other wooden household items. Due to the rarity of such household goods, artisans of that medium were esteemed. In 1672, Francis served as Salem's Constable. Together the couple had eight children, four daughters and four sons. Nurse frequently attended church and her family was well respected in Salem Village. It was later written that she had "acquired a reputation for exemplary piety that was virtually unchallenged in the community," making her one of the first "unlikely" witches to be accused.
Accusation and Trial
Nurse and her family lived on a vast homestead which was part of a 300-acre grant given to Townsend Bishop in 1636. The family had been involved in a number of acrimonious land disputes with the Putnam family. On 23 March 1692 a warrant was issued for her arrest based upon accusations made by Edward and John Putnam. Upon hearing of the accusations the frail 71 year old, "I am innocent as the child unborn, but surely, what sin hath God found out in me unrepented of, that He should lay such an affliction on me in my old age."
There was a public outcry over the accusations made against her, as she was considered to be of very pious character. Thirty-nine of the most prominent members of the community signed a petition on Nurse's behalf. At age 71, she was one of the oldest accused. Her ordeal is often credited as the impetus for a shift in public opinion about the validity of the witch trials.
Her trial began on 30 June 1692. Witnesses testified to her respectibility on her behalf, including her family members. However the young Ann Putnam and her siblings would break into fits and claim Nurse was tormenting them. In response to their outbursts Nurse stated, "I have got nobody to look to but God." Many of the other afflicted girls were hesitant to accuse Nurse.
In the end, the jury ruled Nurse not guilty. Due to public outcry and renewed fits and spasms by the girls, the magistrate asked that the verdict be reconsidered. At issue was the statement of another prisoner "[she] was one of us" to which Nurse did not reply, probably because of her loss of hearing. The jury took this as a sign of guilt and changed their verdict, sentencing Nurse to death on 19 July 1692.
Death and Aftermath
On 3 July 1692, Rebecca Nurse was excommunicated - "abandoned to the devil and eternally damned." Then on 19 July she was driven in a cart with four other women to Gallows Hill where she was hanged. Tradition says that at midnight Francis Nurse, his sons and sons-in-law found Rebecca's body in the common grave where it had been flung and carried it home for a proper burial in an unmarked grave.
On 2 March 1703 a "Petition to the Governor and General Court" requesting the reversal of Attainder "on thoses Executed and those Condemned in 1692" was made by "several of the Inhabitants of Andover, Salem Village, and Topsfield."
In 1710 Samuel Nurse made this statement: "We were at the whole charge of providing for her during her imprisonment in Salem and Boston for the space of almost four months. We spent much time and made many journeys to Boston, Salem and other places in order to have vindicated her innocence. Although we produced plentiful testimony that my honored mother had led a blameless life from her youth up, yet she was condemned and executed."
In March 1721at the request of her children, the notice of her excommunication was erased from church records.
Her accuser, Ann Putnam, Jr., publicly apologized to the Nurse family for accusing innocent people. In 1711, the government compensated her family for Nurse's wrongful death. In a bitter stroke of irony, the Nurse family homestead fell into the hands of Putnam family descendent, Phineas Putnam in 1784. The Putnam family maintained control of the property until 1908. Today, it is a tourist attraction that includes the original house and cemetery, on 27 of the original 300 acres.
In July 1885, her descendants erected a tall granite memorial over her grave in what is now called the Rebecca Nurse Homestead Cemetery in Danvers (formerly Salem Village), Massachusetts. The inscription is a verse from the poem "Christian Martyr," by John Greenleaf Whittier, "Rebecca Nurse, Yarmouth, England 1621. Salem, Mass., 1692. O Christian Martyr who for Truth could die When all about thee owned the hideous lie! The world redeemed from Superstition's sway Is breathing freer for thy sake today."
In 1892 a second monument was erected nearby recognizing the forty neighbors who took the risk of publicly supporting Nurse by signing a petition to the court in 1692.
Rebecca Nurse is a central character in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible as well as many other dramatic treatments of the Salem Witch Trials. The PBS film "Three Sovereigns For Sarah" features Vanessa Redgrave as Sarah Cloyce and depicts her sister Nurse and her family members as main characters. Nurse is also the subject of Lectures on Witchcraft, by Charles W. Upham.

Rebecca Nurse's Timeline
February 16, 1621
Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Unfortunately, birth records are not available for Rebecca Towne, only baptismal records. Her actual birth may have been one or two months before her February 21 baptism. According to descendant Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewska, she was the eldest of six children born in England (two other siblings were recorded as being born after reaching North America):
February 21, 1621
Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Unfortunately, birth records are not available for Rebecca Towne, only baptismal records. Her actual birth may have been one or two months before this date.
(Note on the date: the baptism took place on 21 February 1620/21. In the English calendar, February 21 was the 12th month of the year, and thus was recorded by their calendar as 1620. Because this was recognized as problematic when dealing with just about every other country, all of which used January 1 as New Years Day, these were customarily "double dated," i.e., 1620/21. To prevent confusion in our computerized date system, which inflexibly maintains a change of year at January 1, the second year is used, e.g., for this case, 1621.)
April 18, 1637
Age 16
Great Yarmouth, Norfolk County, England, (Present UK)
According to Rebecca Towne's Familypedia page (submitted by "Main Tour"):
Rebecca Towne's family departed England on the ship "Rose of Yarmouth" in April 1637, and says that the exact date of the ship's departure is uncertain.
Fellow passenger John Cutler, emigrating from Sprowston in Norfolk, embarked on the Rose of Yarmouth on April 18, 1637. By June 10, he had a lot assigned to him in Hingham, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The apparently partial list shows embarkations on April 8, 11, 12, and 13. The name Towne shows up on the list in one instance, with respect to the apprenticeship of an Edmund Towne to Henry Skerry:
Aprill 11th 1637
According to the Towne Family Association, this is not the same Edmund associated with William Towne's family. From a forum entry on 3 September 2007:
In 2006 it was determined Edmund Towne, son of William, was not apprenticed to Henry Skerry. There is no apprenticeship found in England by a professional researcher hired by Towne Family Association. The age of the Edmund Towne who boarded the ship with Skerry was much older than William's son Edmund. The original book has been viewed to determine if the age reported in the History of Salem and other publications is correct. The age entered in the boarding book is the age published. Because there was only one Edmund Towne in Salem/Topsfield, it has been determined the Edmund who left England with Skerry must have died on the trip over.
I believe Henry Skerry was a cordwainer. Check the History of Salem, MA by Sidney Perley.
Lois Payne Hoover
The transcription shows that at least 9 pages are torn in the original:
A small parchment volume (also in the Rolls Office) labelled on the cover "T G 27.299 A. D, 1637---13 Car. I" is occupied with a record of persons"desirous to pass beyond seas." Its upper right hand corner has been destroyed, by which much of the record is gone. What is not destroyed of the title of the volume is "A Register of the ... of such persons a ... and upwards and have ... to passe into formigne partes ... March 1637 to the 29th day of Septe... by verts of a commission granted to Mr Thomas Mayhew gentleman."
" These people went to New England with William Andrews of Ipswich, Mr of the John and Dorothay of Ipswich, and with William Andrewes his Sons Mr of the Rose of Yarmouth."
Michill Metcalfe of Norwich, a dornock weaver aged 45, later wrote that the ship sailed from Yarmouth on April 15, and disembarked his family (wife Sarah and 9 children) at Boston (footnote, page 96).
Hotten lists the ships as having passengers examined at Ipswich, instead of Yarmouth (April 8-15, same dates as the Massachusetts Historical Society).

London. [Reprinted Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1974.]
June 20, 1637
Age 16
Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, (Present USA)
Different dates are given for the arrival of the Rose of Yarmouth in Boston, ranging from June 8 to 20 (again, fellow passenger John Cutler is recorded as having a lot assigned him in Hingham, a town next to Weymouth south of Boston, on June 10). More than one port of arrival may have been used as well (Governor Winthrop's journal, according to the book "More Gleanings for New England History", notes arrival in Boston on June 20). The route of travel for the Rose and its sister ship "John and Dorothy of Ipswich" within Massachusetts Bay is unknown.
According to information from the Towne Family Memorial information pamphlet:
William Towne, Rebecca's father, became a freeman on 18 April (second month, OS) 1637, saying that he appeared before the General Court (this would have been on a Tuesday; General Courts did convene on Tuesdays once a month) and took "the requisite oath to become a freeman, or voter." This would be difficult, though, if he were aboard ship and still in English waters. Court of Assistants meetings that took place around the arrival of the ship include June 6 and September 19 (OS).
(Ben M. Angel notes: Possibly this was the date of his oath of allegiance before leaving England? If so, this would mean that the Towne family would have been among the last to board, and certainly act as proof that the ship left on April 18 rather than April 15. But this is speculation given lack of reliable documentation.)
October 11, 1640
Age 19
Town of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, (Present USA)
The Town of Salem, on 11 8mo 1640, "graunted to William Townde a little neck of land right over against his howse on the other side of the riuer to be sett out by the towne." This part of town was called "North Fields," and the home served the family until William and Joan moved to what will then be the newly-incorporated town of Topsfield 11 years later.
According to S.J. Walker:
Believe the home in Salem to have been on the south side of Waters River, about 1/8 mile east of Water Street. (Pope's Pioneers of Mass; Currents of Malice - McMillen, NEHGS, Vol. 21, p. 15)
August 24, 1644
Age 23
Town of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, (Present USA)
The couple married at the First Church of the Town of Salem on Sunday, August 24. Francis Nurse, a former indentured servant who after some struggles became a tray maker (a rather well-paying trade in colonial Massachusetts) had a place of his own already for the past six years on present Skerry Street ("not far from where the bridge now crosses to Beverley"), and so likely the couple moved straight into the home; they will continue to live there the next 34 years.
From the Familypedia page on Rebecca Towne:
Her husband was a "tray maker" by trade, who likely made many other wooden household items. Due to the rarity of such household goods, artisans of that medium were considered esteemed.
In the following year, their first child, John, would be born.
Age 23
Town of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony
The exact date of birth of eldest child John Nurse to father Francis and mother Rebecca Nurse is unrecorded, as is the date of baptism.
Age 25
Town of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, (Present USA)
The exact date of birth of eldest daughter Rebecca Nurse (future Rebecca Preston) to father Francis and mother Rebecca Nurse is unrecorded, as is the date of baptism. The infant has an older brother, a toddler named John (age 2).
February 1648
Age 26
Town of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, (Present USA)
Along with Thomas Odingsells, Francis Nurse is ordered to pay a fine or sit in stocks for defaming Daniel Rea, according to "Currents of Malice" by McMillen:
Age 26
Town of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, (Present USA)
The exact date of birth of Sarah Nurse (future Sarah Bowden) to father Francis and mother Rebecca Nurse is unrecorded, as is the date of baptism. The infant has two older brothers (a young boy named John - age 6, and a toddler named Samuel - age 2) and an older sister (a young girl named Rebecca, age 4).

November 28, 2015
MONTGGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Education Association is
seeking dismissal of a lawsuit it filed over an attempt by Gov. Bob Riley's administration to end payroll deductions for the political action committees of AEA, the Alabama State Employees Association and the Alabama State Troopers Association.
In a filing to the Alabama Supreme Court Thursday, AEA attorneys said the lawsuit should be dismissed because the Alabama Legislature passed a bill earlier this month that stopped the payroll deductions and made the suit moot.
AEA and ASEA earlier got Montgomery Circuit Judge Truman Hobbs Jr. to issue a preliminary injunction allowing the deductions to resume after the Riley administration had challenged them. The Riley administration had appealed that order. The AEA asked the Supreme Court Thursday to return the case to Hobbs with instructions to dismiss it.

Do you have Spiritual Sovereignty? My mission is to clear those deeply imbedded beliefs that hold you back from living a Limitless Life of Freedom~
Sacred Heart Ascension
Expanding Unity Consciousness through Spirituality and Self Empowerment
As we travel through our journey we encounter many adventures. When we tap into the forgotten memories of our Divine Self and who we are at a soul level we begin to awaken to our true calling. This is called ascension. As we connect into our heart truth and let go of patterns that no longer serve us we begin on a path of service to others opposed to being self serving. This is our connection to Oneness and an expansion into unity consciousness. We are all equals going through this process of ascension and I am delighted to be of service to those who are just beginning and to those who want more.
I offer several different types of energy modalities to track the root of the issue in which holds you back . I offer private session and personalize workshops to fit the needs of you and those attending. Many of us are well on our paths and have knowledge or experiences that need to be channeled into a constructive way, while others are just stepping on to this path and have much curiosity and need basic direction. No mater what level you are at, we all need an occasional clearing and a Spiritual time-out to reconnect and ground us from our busy life style.
I specialize in emotional balance, chakra alignment, energy clearing, power animal and soul retrieval, crystal healing, crystal grids, past life regressions, shamanic journey's, home and office clearings, aromatherapy and massage therapy.

Most office-based psychiatrists are providing medication rather than psychotherapy to their patients
Research Activities, February 2009, No. 358
The use of psychotherapy has declined markedly among U.S. office-based psychiatrists, reveals a new study. For instance, the percentage of visits to psychiatrists that included psychotherapy dropped from 44.4 percent during 1996-1997 to 28.9 percent in 2004-2005. Similarly, the number of psychiatrists who provided psychotherapy to all of their patients fell by nearly half from 19.1 percent to 10.8 percent during that time. The researchers attribute the decline in psychotherapy to a drop in the number of psychiatrists specializing in psychotherapy and a corresponding rise in those specializing in drug therapy. They note that these changes were likely sparked by reimbursement policies favoring brief medication management visits over psychotherapy and the introduction of new psychotropic medications with fewer adverse effects in recent years.
These developments continue the shift toward the medicalization of psychiatric practice. The magnitude of financial disincentives for providing psychotherapy was highlighted by a Practice Research Network study documenting that third-party reimbursement for one 45- to 50-minute outpatient psychotherapy session is 41 percent less than reimbursement for three 15-minute medication management visits.
Consistent with these findings, the current study found that psychiatrists who provided psychotherapy to all of their patients relied more extensively on self-pay patients, had fewer managed care visits, prescribed medications in fewer of their visits than psychiatrists who provided psychotherapy less often, and prescribed medications for only slightly more than half of their patients. A growing group of psychiatrists, in recent years, appeared not to deliver formal psychotherapy to patients. The study was supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS16097). More details are in "National trends in psychotherapy by office-based psychiatrists," by Ramin Mojtabai, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., and Mark Olfson, M.D., M.P.H., in the August 2008 Archives of General Psychiatry 65(8), pp. 962-970.

The body of a man in his 60s was recovered by divers in Methuen's Spicket River on Sunday, authorities said.
Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon said the body was removed by a Massachusetts state police diver who was assisting in the investigation. The remains were transported to the Medical Examiner's Office.
While the situation is under investigation, Solomon said no foul play is suspected.

ProcessControl[SChart] - generate the S chart
Calling Sequence
SChart(X, n, options, plotoptions)
(optional) sample size
(optional) equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of color, confidencelevel, controllimits, ignore, sigma, or speclimits; specify options for generating the S chart
(optional) parameters to pass to the plot command
The SChart command generates control chart for the standard deviation (S chart) for the specified observations. The chart also contains the upper control limit (UCL), the lower control limit (LCL), and the standard deviation (represented by the center line) of the underlying quality characteristic. Unless explicitly given, the standard deviation and the control limits are computed based on the data.
The first parameter X is either a single data sample - given as a Vector or list - or a list of data samples. Each value represents an individual observation. Note, that the individual samples can be of variable size.
If X is a single data sample, the second parameter n is used to specify the size of individual samples.
All computations involving data are performed in floating-point; therefore, all data provided must have type realcons and all returned solutions are floating-point, even if the problem is specified with exact values.
For more information about computation in the ProcessControl package, see the ProcessControl help page.
The options argument can contain one or more of the following options.
color=list -- This option specifies colors of the various components of the S chart. The value of this option must be a list containing the color of the control limits, center line, data to be plotted, and the specification limits.
confidencelevel=realcons -- This option specifies the required confidence level. The default value is 0.9973, corresponding to a 3 sigma confidence level.
controllimits=deduce or [realcons, realcons] -- This option specifies the values for the control limits. The first element is the value of the lower control limit. The second element is the value of the upper control limit. For data with variable sample size, the value of this option must be a list of control limits for each sample. If this option is set to deduce (the default value), the control limits are computed based on the data.
ignore=truefalse -- This option controls how missing values are handled by the SChart command. Missing values are represented by undefined or Float(undefined). So, if ignore=false and X contains missing data, the SChart command returns undefined. If ignore=trues all missing items in X are ignored. The default value is true.
sigma=deduce or realcons -- This option specifies the standard deviation of the underlying quality characteristic.
speclimits=none, [realcons, realcons] -- This option specifies the values for the specification limits. The first element is the value of the lower specification limit. The second element is the value of the upper specification limit. The default value is none.

© Copyright 2015 Rockdale Citizen
CONYERS -- For the last 20 years, Rockdale County Tax Commissioner Dan Ray has tried his best to make an unpleasant task as painless as possible.
"We treat people fairly and are nice to them, even when they're unhappy," said Ray, whose office has processed some 170,000 transactions each year. "We try to resolve the problems and issues the best way we can within the boundaries of the law."
Ray, a Republican, announced this spring that he would seek a sixth term as tax commissioner. He will be opposed by Democrat R.J. Hadley in November. He ran against -- and defeated -- incumbent Ray Singleton in 1992, but this will be the first time he's had opposition since taking office.
"Running a campaign is a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun," he said. "You get to see a lot of people who you either haven't seen in a while or you see over the counter. You get to knock on doors and visit with them or meet them at a forum. The best part is meeting with and talking to everybody in the county and to hear what's going on."
Despite technology making a visit to the Tax Commissioner's Office all but a quaint notion in the 21st century, Ray said the majority of citizens still come to pay their ad valorem taxes in person.
"I talked to the tax commissioner in DeKalb County recently and she said 70-80 percent of their work they do through the mail. For us, it's just the opposite," said Ray. "Around 15 percent of our workload with motor vehicle registration tags and renewals is done through the mail. That means 85 percent are coming through the door. It's easier to do it by mail or on the web, so why do they come in? I'd like to think it's because of the customer service we provide, minimizing the hassles and the haggles with pleasant people doing it. We like to continue that small-town, friendly atmosphere in the office."
Ray points with pride to Rockdale County's 99 percent collection rate, which he said benefits the citizenry in many ways.
"Delinquency has risen significantly, but we've worked to stay abreast of it to keep the collection rate up there," he said. "Like any other business, if you don't have that revenue, it has to be made up somewhere else to balance the budget. If we allowed 10 percent not to pay their taxes, then the taxes on everybody else would have to be raised.
"By keeping it at 99-plus percent, everybody pays their fair share. The other outcome of consistent collections is the county's bond rating for the county and the school. We're considered Superior Triple-A, and that's a result of lowering the risk to the bondholders. The bond agencies look at those collection rates and we have a history of high collections that has lowered our interest on our borrowing."
Ray's office has embraced technology, and he points out that desktop document scanners have saved time and money for the 14,000 transactions processed monthly. He adds that taxpayers have also appreciated real-time posting on the web of their tax-bill remittances. Ray also said he's working with Clerk of Courts Ruth Wilson's office on electronic filing of property fi fas (a lien placed on property for failure to pay taxes) and has plans to "piggyback" on the county water department's automated mass bill processing and check processing operation.
"It's always a continuous process of figuring out better ways to do the job," said Ray, who in 2005 was honored by his colleagues as the state's Tax Commissioner of the Year and in 2008 was named Constitutional Office of the Year by the Constitutional Officers Association of Georgia.
A member of the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia's Revenue and Finance Committee, Ray said he's taken advantage of every continuing education opportunity provided by the state's Department of Revenue and has also taught classes on the department's behalf. Ray said he hopes his office's accomplishments provide his constituency with confidence in him when they go to the polls.
"I would hope that the voters are happy and satisfied with the service they've received in the office. I am the most qualified through both experience and education and continuing education through the Department of Revenue," he said. "I am by far the most experienced and knowledgeable candidate; I've provided 20 years of customer service and I'm involved in legislative issues -- I'm chairman of the Tax Commissioners Legislative Committee and also I serve on the ACCG Finance Committee. And I've given many years of involvement to the community as a Rotarian, through my church and through fast-pitch softball coaching and many other agencies, like the library board. I've been an active participant in the community and would ask that the voters give me an opportunity to serve them four more years."

We must keep Dan in this offc. There is no comparison between him and his opponent. Rockdale please vote for who is best for all the citizen rather than basing your choice on a partisan note. Compare the candidates!!!
Rob 3 years, 1 month ago
Dan Ray is by far one of the nicest, most decent elected officials I have ever met! I know from personal experience that this man cares about the community and will do everything in his power to help any individual. I sure hope Rockdale residents are smart enough to keep this man around!
johnq123 3 years, 1 month ago
Voters, DAN RAY is the best candidate in this race.
johnq123 3 years, 1 month ago
HADLEY is smart, he realizes that he knows nothing about the Tax Commissioner job, so he keeps his mouth shut to avoid drawing attention to his race.. While the remaining SLATE OF 8 talks and remove all doubt.
You can remain as quiet as a church mouse Rakeem, but we are awake and voting for DAN RAY !!!!

Japan announces Olympic team as national champs conclude
Koji Murofushi throws a season's best 81.24 to win gold in Daegu (Getty Images) © Copyright
The championships doubled as the Olympic trials and the JAAF has announced that any athletes with the Olympic "A" standard will be automatically selected for the Olympic team if he/she wins the national championships. Ten athletes made the team satisfying the above criterion: Masashi Eriguchi in men's 100m, Kei Takase men's 200m, Yuzo Kanemaru men's 400m, Takayuki Kishimoto men's 400mH, Genki Dean men's JT, Chisato Fukushima women's 100m, Satomi Kubokura women's 400mH, Hitomi Niiya women's 5000m, Mika Yoshikawa women's 10,000m and Yuki Ebihara women's JT. All except for Kanemaru, Fukushima and Kubokura will be competing in their first Olympic Games.
18th straight title for Murofushi
Going into the National Championships, Koji Murofushi, who won the Hammer Throw in Daegu, was pre-selected for the team. He still competed in the national championships, returning from his training base in San Jose, California, and won for the 18th straight time starting in 1995. He could only throw 72.85m, however, because of driving rain during the first day of competition.
"There is a possibility of rain in London, so I think this could have been good preparation," Murofushi said. He will return to San Jose for his final preparation for London.
Dean wins thrilling javelin battle
The most exciting competition was in the Men's Javelin throw where Genki Dean, the 2010 World Junior Silver medallist who recently recorded 84.28m, and Yukifumi Murakami, 2009 World Championships bronze medalist, were expected to compete for the supremacy. Everyone knew that Dean was in great shape, but Murakami's form was in question, for he was injured earlier in the season.
But Murakami was back in shape. He threw 79.13m with his first throw, improving to 82.93m, a meet record, in the second round. In the third round Murakami threw a personal best of 83.95m. The competition, however, was not over yet. Dean who threw 81.62m in his second round improved to 84.03m in round four to take over the lead. Murakami failed to improve his best and thus his winning streak at the nationals came to an end at 12. "This (winning nationals) is not my final goal. The world number one is not out of my reach, so I would like to get there," said Dean, whose father is British.
Young sprinters on show
Chisato Fukushima, national record holder in the 100 and 200m, won both for the second consecutive year. She came from behind to catch and pass high school sensation Anna Doi at 90 metres to win the 100m for the third consecutive year. The 16-year-old Doi set a national junior as well as national high school record (11.50) this year. In the last two years, Doi set national youth as well as national junior high school record, all at 100m. A day later, Fukushima run away from the field to win the 200m from 21-year-old Kana Ichikawa. "I have much higher goal. I know I can do better. As you all know I need to improve my start," she said.
Yuki Ebihara broke her national record for women's Javelin throw with 62.36m, and thus made the Olympic team. Her previous national record, 61.56m, was recorded in 2010 Asian Games. Ebihara, fifth at the 2004 World Juniors, was ninth in the 2011 World Championships. "I am aiming higher at the Olympics. I am looking to throw similar distance in the Games," said Ebihara.
As on the women's side, young sprinters have dominated the men's sprints. At 100m, 23-year-old Masashi Eriguchi, thrice defending national champion, won from 20-year-old Takumi Kuki and 19-year-old Ryota Yamagata. Yamagata, fourth at the 2009 World Youths and the national junior record holder, recorded 10.08 in April. In the 200m, 23-year-old Kei Takase won from 20-year-old Shota Iizuka, 2010 World Junior Champion.
Five-time national 1500m champion Mika Yoshikawa won the 10,000m with a huge personal best of 31:28.71. She followed the pace set by seven-time national champion Kayoko Fukushi and then broke away from Fukushi at 9000 metres. Yoshikawa covered the final 1000 metres in 2:57 and won by nearly 15 seconds from Fukushi.
"This is my dream comes true. I am very happy," Yoshikawa said.
Two days later at 5000m, Fukushi finished second again. This time it was Hitomi Niiya who ran away from Fukushi in the last half of the race. Twenty-four years old Niiya, 2005 World Youth bronze medalist at 3000m, is a former high school sensation, and finished 13th at 5000m in the World Championships last year.
Takayuki Kishimoto, 22, won the 400m Hurdles, an event that is considered to be Japan's own forte because of Kazuhiko Yamazaki, Shunji Karube and most of all Tamesue Dai, two-time World Championships medallist. Kishimoto won with a personal best of 48.41 from Akihiko Nakamura, who also finished second in the national championships in the Decathlon a week ago. Tamesue fell in the first hurdle and thus failed to make the final, and thus he retired from the elite competition as he indicated previously.
Yuzo Kanemaru won the 400m for the eighth time, while Satomi Kubokura won women's 400m Hurdles for the sixth time, and thus both made the Olympic team for the second time.

Eudora High girls basketball coach calling it quits
After more than a decade of coaching Eudora High School girl's basketball, coach Don Grosdidier is calling it quits.
His resignation comes not after any losing streak or disagreement with players, but as a move to have more time quality time with his 6-month-old daughter, Catherine.
"It's a decision that I made over the course of several months, actually," Grosdidier said. "It's something that has to do with family."
Grosdidier has coached for 18 years overall, and has spent the last 12 coaching varsity girls basketball at EHS. He said he wants to concentrate his time on his family, and doesn't see himself going back to coaching anytime soon.
"Not at this time," he said. "You never know what the future is going to bring. I don't know, it's kind of premature for me."
Grosdidier will keep his day job at EHS, where he teaches history and economics. He recalls some of his big moments coaching the varsity girls include winning invitationals, and his team that was crowned sub-state champs in 1992.
"I think we've won more games than any other team sport in the last 10 years," said Grosdidier. "The 1992 team was a highlight."
He has also enjoyed seeing some of his players go on to become med. school students and teachers, an attribute he hopes can be attested to sports.
"I like to think they might have developed some of the work ethic or goal setting through basketball," he said.
And even though he's traded in his coaching whistle for diapers, he said it wasn't an easy choice to decide.
"It's been an enjoyable 12 years, and a difficult decision to make," Grosdidier said. "I didn't come to it easily, but I just felt like it was time for a change."

Patent leather pumps in the fall?
Q. I have a beautiful pair of black patent leather pumps that I wore a bit in the spring and not much in the summer. Can I wear them in the fall and winter? If so, what kind of hose? It would be too cold to go bare legged and I don't think I'd like black tights with the patent leather.
A. You absolutely can wear patent leather in the fall, in fact, you can wear your patent pumps year round. As for hosiery, black tights are a natural fit for your black patent pumps, you can also try a print or patterned tight like lace.
