Chairman's Report
Since my December Message, the prevailing weather conditions have conspired against us playing anything like the home or away fixtures programmed for January, February and the start of March. Lets hope spring arrives with a settled period of weather to allow us catch up with our fixture commitments.
The New Spectator Enclosure
Well, it is with pleasure I report that on Friday March 4th, following a detailed inspection by the Highland Councils Building Control Officer, the new Spectator Enclosure received its Completion Certificate, thus allowing the main contractor, Lovie's Construction, to hand over the building to us. The next home game against Turriff United in the semi finals of the Highland League (Morganti) Cup will witness the new Enclosure in full operation, which, I trust, will prove to be an epic moment for the Club.
Interestingly, when checking back my file records, I noted that the feasibility study for the new Enclosure started on March 15th 2013. Completing the initial investigation, arriving at a suitable design solution, obtaining statutory planning permission and building warrant, arranging three separate tendering processes, being unsuccessful in our major grant support application involved volumes of paperwork, resubmissions and finally, through Narden (our Main Sponsor)'s, property development expertise, whose services were made available free-of-charge to the Club, a design and build solution was arrived at, allowing the project to proceed.
The main contractor, Lovie's Construction, took effective entry to the site on October 14th, following the completion of the two separate demolition and associated groundworks contracts. An autumn / winter build involving Christmas and New Year inevitably delayed the concrete groundworks by some six weeks - however, having seen the finished article, the Club, I feel, can be justifiably proud of a job well done.
Complementing the new Enclosure is the new purpose-built access pathway designed to provide unimpeded disabled access to the 10 dedicated areas for wheelchair users located at either end of the new Enclosure. The contract also allows pitch side viewing for the disabled along the entire length of the Balblair end of the pitch without interrupting the flow of movement for others attending the game. This provision from the main entrance to Station Park to the new Enclosure is, not to my knowledge, replicated elsewhere in a football ground north of Scotlands Central Belt.
I consider it fitting to record all those who contributed to the provision of the new Enclosure and associated access pathway. The names are not listed in any particular order:-
The Supporters Ground Improvement Fund, in association with the Panel Beaters Fund and contributors from the wider Nairnshire Community.
3 private Benefactors.
The Highland Council - Nairn Ward Discretionary Fund
The Co-operative Local Fund
Nairn County 50/50 Club
Nairn County Sportsmans Dinner
Nairn County Football Club
Narden - Clubs Main Sponsor
7 regular volunteers, who provided valued help and assistance throughout the length of the contract carrying out a variety of contract work to keep the overall cost of the project within budget.
The Club are, indeed, privileged to have such dedication and commitment in its pursuit of ensuring the infrastructure at Station Park is at the very highest standard achievable. To you all, on behalf of the Club and myself as Chairman, a very large and genuine thank you.
Wishing you all a very Happy Easter and end-of-season run of matches.
County 'til I die.
Chairman, Nairn County FC

Outgoing Oklahoma County court clerk leaves legacy of customer service
Patricia Presley looks back with fondness on her days as a young file clerk as she learned the ropes from then-Oklahoma County Court Clerk Dan Gray.
It was Gray who mentored Presley and stoked her passion for public service.
Those lessons were not lost on the impressionable 22-year-old, who would one day return to run the state's biggest and busiest court clerk's office.
"I aspired to be as good a public servant as Dan Gray was," Presley said recently. "He would work the counter. He was 'Steady as she goes.' Everybody admired him and respected him."
Presley, 61, of Oklahoma City, is retiring Monday after 16 years as court clerk of Oklahoma County.
Deputy Court Clerk Tim Rhodes, Presley's second-in-charge, will be sworn in Wednesday as the county's seventh court clerk since 1915.
Rhodes, 55, has known Presley since her days as a financial analyst at the federal courthouse in Oklahoma City, where she spent 10 years before running for public office.
He described his outgoing boss as parts friend, mentor, cheerleader and disciplinarian. Presley, he said, mixed traditional values with progressive ideas to stay one step ahead of reductions in budgets and staff.
"She's not afraid to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty and do the work," Rhodes said this week. "The things that I've learned from Patricia I didn't read in any of those law books."
The court clerk's primary responsibility is maintaining and recording all court documents filed in Oklahoma County — 120,000 new cases annually — and collecting as much as $70 million a year in court costs, fees and fines.
An estimated 1,500 people a day visit the courthouse, some to serve as jurors, others to apply for marriage licenses and still others to appear for civil and criminal hearings.
Not everyone is glad to be there.
"It's not like a shoe store or any kind of a retail department store where people can pick and choose where they take their business," Presley said. "The people that come in through those doors are coming in because they have to conduct their business here.
"That's why it's so very important that they be treated like customers regardless of why they're here."
Presley has a staff of 120, down 40 from when she took office in January 1997. Budgets to run the court and pay employees fell by a combined 25 percent since then, she said.
"We're still able to give good service," she said. "If you had asked me 16 years ago if we could have done that, I would have said no."
Personnel director Teresa Davis said Presley has been a good mentor to those who have worked under her. Presley's smile and upbeat personality will be missed, she said.
"We kind of refer to her as the office cheerleader," Davis said.
Presley made customer service a top priority and oversaw advancements in technology that improved efficiency and reduced costs.
Shortly after taking office in 1997, Presley spent $4,700 on a computer program to reduce the amount of time it took to register jurors by scanning a bar code attached to a summons. That investment saved the county approximately $3 million, she said.
During her tenure, Oklahoma County was the first county to image documents for judges, eliminating the need to carry files to the courthouse. At her request, Oklahoma County was the first to send traffic tickets electronically.
Plans are under way to roll out a new $30 million case management system for the state's courts, moving away from paper-based to electronic processes and linking all district and appeals courts under the same system.
Currently, 13 counties in the state, including Tulsa and Oklahoma counties, use one case management system; the 64 other counties use another.
Officials hope to have the system complete and all state trial courts online within the four years. The transition begins in 2013.
Eventually, attorneys will be able to file documents remotely, the court clerk's office will begin accepting credit card payments over the phone and most, if not all, files and records will be stored online instead of in stacks of boxes cluttering courthouse offices.
The new system will enable the clerk's office to serve people better and likely lower traffic going in and out of the courthouse, Presley said.
"It's going to save citizens a lot of money because their lawyers are not going to have to leave their offices to conduct business," she said. "It is very possible that everything that is filed of record, provided that it is not filed under seal, will be available online."
Rhodes has said that he wants to use the position to continue the work initiated during Presley's reign — using technology and proactive thinking to provide court services with less staff and with less funding.
"She has left this office in much better condition than she found it," Rhodes said. "Continuing that legacy is going to be a challenge for me."
The things that I've learned from Patricia I didn't read in any of those law books."

who will be sworn in Wednesday as court clerk, succeeding Patricia Presley

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

'Wild' Bill Bauer dead at 62
"Wild" Bill Bauer was a staple of the local comic scene. He was beloved and revered amongst local talent, including Scott Hansen, Louie Anderson, and Alex Cole. He died Thursday, August 30 in his sleep at his home in Inver Grove Heights. He was 62.
Bauer, a former paramedic, started doing comedy shortly after time spent serving in Vietnam. He was a trailblazer on the Minnesota standup scene, paving the way for Minnesota comics back in the 1970s. His current gigs included running New Hope's Big Laughs Comedy Club and performing the occasional solo show.
"My dad @TaoOfPooka died last night. He'd stated that he was either to be partially cremated or taxidermied. He was awesome and I love him," tweeted Bauer's son, Patrick, who is also a comedian.
Bryan Miller, City Pages proofreader and standup comic, recounts Bill's colorful career via email:
"He was one of the original crew who founded the Minneapolis comedy scene doing shows at Mickey Finn's, the first bar where standup was performed in town (the other guys were Louis Anderson, Alex Cole, and Scott Hansen). He continued to be a Twin Cities favorite and performed across the country throughout the comedy-club boom of the '80s.
The business slowed down in the '90s and a lot of people got out, but Bill never stopped touring. In addition to doing standup, he made a couple of cameos on the TV shows Roseanne and The Jackie Thomas Show.
In later years he continued performing, but also put together and booked a lot of shows (he was currently booking shows at Running Aces and the weekly Big Laughs series at the New Hope Cinema Grill).
One of the things he was best known for was discovering new talent. Moreso than almost any other booker, he encouraged new comics and helped them get stage time. (At least 10 or 15 people on Facebook yesterday said Bill gave them their first comedy job; he gave me mine, too.) His son Patrick Bauer is carrying on the family tradition (Pat's mother was also a comic) and continues to do standup in the Twin Cities and throughout the Midwest."
He is survived by his son and wife, Cheryl.
Bauer's infamous bit on Uncle Arnie, the number two ranked Russian roulette player in the country:

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One: Orphan
Under Waterloo Bridge Gilgamesh slept wrapped in darkness and the weak light of stars his breath feeble in the fog:
He dreamt of Ur, and of fish,
slow-roasting on an open fire,
and the scent of spring
– L.T., The Epic of Gilgamesh
Orphan came down to see the old man by the Thames. The old man sat alone on the embankment under Waterloo Bridge, wrapped in a horse blanket, beside a small fire, a rod extending from his gloved hands into the dark waters of the river below. Orphan came stealthily, but the old man's blind eyes nevertheless followed his progress. Orphan sat down beside Gilgamesh on the hard stone floor and warmed his hands on the fire. In the distance, whale song rose around the setting sun.
For a while there was silence. Then, "Did you catch anything?" Orphan asked.
Gilgamesh sighed and shook his head. His long hair was matted into grey locks that made a dry rustling sound as they moved. "Change is unsparing," he said enigmatically.
Orphan echoed his sigh. "But did you catch anything?"
"If I had," Gilgamesh said reasonably, "it would have been roasting on the fire by now."
"I brought bread," Orphan said, and he reached into his bag and brought out, like a magician, a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine, both wrapped in newspaper, which he put down carefully on the ground beside them.
"Red?" Gilgamesh said.
Instead of an answer Orphan uncorked the wine, allowing its aroma to escape into the cold air above the Thames.
Gilgamesh's brown fingers broke a piece of the bread and shoved it into his mouth, and he followed it by taking a swig of wine from the open bottle. "Château des Rêves," he said appreciatively, "now where would a young lad like you find a bottle like that?"
"I stole it," Orphan said.
The old man turned his blind eyes on Orphan and slowly nodded. "Yes," he said, "but where did you steal it, young Orphan?"
Orphan shrugged, suddenly uncomfortable. "From Mr Eliot's Wine Merchants on Gloucester Road. Why?"
"It's a long way to come, with a bottle of red wine," Gilgamesh said, as if reciting a half-forgotten poem. "As much as I appreciate the visit, I doubt you came all this way on a social call. So," the blind eyes held Orphan in their gaze, "what is it you want?"
Orphan smiled at that. "Tonight," he said, "is the night, I think."
"Indeed?" The eyes turned, the hands checked the anchored fishing-rod, returned to the bread. "Lucy?"
Orphan smiled. "Lucy," he said.
"You will ask her?"
"I will."
Gilgamesh smiled, but his face looked old and, for a moment, wistful. "But you are both so young…"
"I love her." It was said simply, with the honesty only the young possess. Gilgamesh rose, and surprised Orphan by hugging him. The old man felt frail in Orphan's arms. "Let's drink. For the two of you."
They drank, sharing the bottle, Orphan grinning inanely.
"Read me the paper," Gilgamesh said. They sat together, looking at the Thames.
Obligingly, Orphan reached for the stained newspaper. He scanned the small print, the ink already running, searching for an item of news to interest Gilgamesh. "Here," he said at last. He cleared his throat and read the title, which was: "Terrorist Gang Strikes Again!"
"Go on," Gilgamesh said, spraying him with crumbs of bread.
"Last night," read Orphan, "the notorious terrorist organisation known as the Persons from Porlock struck again at the very heart of the capital. Their target this time was none other than the famed playwright Oscar Wilde, who was engaged, by his own words, in a work of composition of the highest order when he heard an insistent knock on the door, followed by shouts from outside. Rising to see what the commotion was about – having, for reasons of his own, dismissed all his servants for the night – Wilde was confronted by several men dressed as clowns who shouted fragmented lines from Lear's A Book of Nonsense at him, enclosed him in a circle and danced around him until his mind, so he himself says, had been set awhirl with chaos. The Persons departed as suddenly as they had come, evading the police force that was already on its way to the scene. In his statement, a confused Wilde said the title of his new play was to be called The Importance of Being Something, but for the life of him he could no longer recall what that something was. "How long will this campaign of terror continue?" Wilde asked, and called for the Prime Minister's resignation. "This cannot go on," he said, "this is a violation of everything our country stands for." Prime Minister Moriarty's Office was not available for comment."
He finished, and all was quiet save for Gilgamesh's chuckle. "Was he really 'engaged in a work of composition of the highest order'?" he said, "or was he entertaining the young Alfred Douglas? I suspect the Persons from Porlock wasted their time on this one. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" he said.
Orphan glanced away and was silent. Again, Gilgamesh chuckled. He took another long swig on the bottle and said, "What else is there?"
"Moriarty to launch Martian space-probe," Orphan said, "ceremony to take place tomorrow at dusk. The probe will carry an Edison record containing the songs of birds and whales, as well as a small volume of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese."
Gilgamesh nodded approvingly. "Lucy is going to be there," Orphan said. "She has been doing the whale recordings for the past two months, and she was selected to put the record and the book into the probe at the ceremony." He grinned, trying to picture it. The Queen might be there!
"Whales are worth listening to," Gilgamesh said mildly, though his eyes twinkled. "Pray, continue."
Orphan continued. "Fresh fly supply for the Queen was halted temporarily on Tuesday due to suspicion of a contaminated source – most of her public appearances have been cancelled for the next week. The Byron simulacrum gave a poetry recital at the Royal Society…" he turned the page over, "oh, and rumours the Bookman is back in town."
Beside him, Gilgamesh had gone very still. "Says who?" he asked quietly.
"An unnamed source at the Metropolitan Police," Orphan said. "Why?"
Gilgamesh shook his head. "No one knows where the Bookman will strike. Not unless he chooses to make it known, for reasons of his own."
"I'm not sure I understand you," Orphan said patiently, "why would he do that?"
"As a warning, perhaps," Gilgamesh said, "to his next victim."
"The Bookman's only a myth," Orphan said. Beside him, Gilgamesh slowly smiled.
"A myth," he said. "Oh, Orphan. This is the time of myths. They are woven into the present like silk strands from the past, like a wire mesh from the future, creating an interlacing pattern, a grand design, a repeating motif. Don't dismiss myth, boy. And never, ever, dismiss the Bookman." And he touched his fingers to his blind eyes, and covered his face with his hands. Orphan knew he would speak no more that night.
That was how Orphan left him, there on the water's edge: an old man, hunched into an unmoving figure, like a pensive statue. Orphan never again saw him in life.
Who was Orphan and how had he come to inhabit that great city, the Capital of the Everlasting Empire, the seat of the royal family, the ancestral home of Les Lézards? His father was a Vespuccian sailor, his mother an enigma: both were dead, and had been so for many years. His skin was copper-red, his eyes green like the sea. He had spent his early life on the docks, running errands between the feet of sailors, a minute employee of the East India Company. His knowledge of languages was haphazard if wide, his education colourful and colloquial, his circle of friends and acquaintances far-ranging if odd.
He learned poetry in the gutter, and from the public readings given by the great men and women of the age; in pubs and dockyards, in halls of learning and in the streets at dawn – and once, from a sword-wielding girl from France, who appeared mysteriously on the deck of a ship Orphan was helping to load with cargo bound for China, and recounted to him, in glorious, beautiful verse, a vision of God (he had never forgotten her) – and he learned it from the books in the public library, until words spun in his head all day and all night, and he agonised at writing them down on paper, his hand bleeding as the pen scratched against the surface of the page.
Who was Orphan? A poet, certainly; a young man, that too. He had aspirations for greatness, and had once met, by chance, the ancient Wordsworth, as the great man was leaving a coffee house in Soho and the five-year-old Orphan was squatting in the street outside, talking to his friend, the beggar Lame Menachem. The great man had smiled at him then, and – perhaps mistaking him for a beggar himself – handed him a coin, a half-crown showing the profile of the mad old Lizard King, George III, which Orphan had kept ever since for good luck.
At present, Orphan was engaged, himself, in a "work of composition of the highest order": he was busy crafting a long poem, a cycle of poems in fact, about life in this great city. He was moderately proud of his efforts, though he felt the poem, somehow, lacked substance. But he was young, and could not worry himself too long; and, having seen his old friend Gilgamesh, the wanderer, and ascertained his (relative) well-being, he proceeded with a light heart to his primary destination of the evening, which was the newly rebuilt Rose Theatre in Southwark.
Orphan walked along the river; in the distance the constant song of whales rose and fell like the tides as the giant, mysterious beings rose from the dark waters for a breath of air. Occasionally he paused, and looked, with a poet's longing for the muse, at the cityscape sprawling before him on the other side of the river. Smoke rose from chimneys, low-lying and dense like industrial clouds, merging with the fog that wrapped itself about the buildings. In the distance, too, were the lights of the Babbage Tower, its arcane mechanisms pointed at the skies, its light a beacon and a warning to the mail airships that flew at night, like busy bumblebees delivering dew from flower to flower. Almost, he was tempted to stop, to scribble a hasty poem: but the cold of the air rising from the river compelled him onwards, and at his back Big Ben began to strike ten, hurrying him on. Already he was late for the performance.
Lucy wasn't there and must therefore have been inside; and so he bought a ticket outside the theatre and entered the courtyard, where people still milled about. So there was still time, he thought. He bought himself a mug of mulled wine and sipped at the hot, spicy drink gratefully before making his way inside the building, into the groundlings' floor.
In the spirit of authenticity the Rose was lit not with gas but burning torches, and their jumping light made the shadows dance and turned the faces of people into fantastical beings, so that Orphan imagined he was sharing this space with a race of lizards and porcupines, ravens and frogs. The thought amused him, for it occurred to him to wonder how he himself appeared: was he a raven, or a frog?
He settled himself against the balustrade separating the groundlings from the lower seats and waited. There was a slim, dark-haired girl standing beside him, whose face kept coming in and out of shadow. In her hands she held a pen and a notebook, in which she was scribbling notes. She had a pale, delicately drawn face – seen in profile it was quite remarkable, or so Orphan always thought – and her ears were small and pointed at their tip, and drawn back against her head so that she appeared to him in the light of the moon coming from above like some creature of legend and myth, an elf, perhaps, or a Muse.
He leaned towards her. "One day I will write a play for you they would show here at the Rose," he said.
Her smile was like moonlight. She grinned and said, "Do you say that to all the girls?"
"I don't need to," Orphan said, and he swept her to him and kissed her, the notebook pressed between their bodies. "Not when I have you."
"Let go!" she laughed. "You have to stop reading those romance novels, Orphan."
"I don't–"
"Sure." She grinned up at him again, and kissed him. Two old ladies close by tutted. "Now shush. It's about to start."
Orphan relented. They leaned together against the balustrade, fingers entwined. Presently, a hush fell over the crowd, and a moment later the empty stage was no longer empty, and Henry Irving had come on.
At the sight of the great actor the crowd burst into spontaneous applause. Orphan took another sip from his drink. The torchlight shuddered, and a cold wind blew from the open roof of the theatre, sending a shiver down Orphan's spine. On stage, Irving was saying, "…The bridegroom's doors are opened wide, and I am next of kin. The guests are met, the feast is set: may'st hear the merry din–" and the celebrated performance of the stage adaptation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner began.
Orphan, though he had seen the performance before, was nevertheless spellbound anew. As Irving's booming voice filled the theatre the strange and grotesque story took life, and the stage filled with masked dancers, enacting the wedding ball into which the Ancient Mariner had come like an ill-begotten creature rising from the Thames. The story took shape around Orphan: how the young mariner, Amerigo Vespucci, took sail on his voyage of exploration under the auspices of the British court; how, on Caliban's Island, he discovered and shot the lizard-like inhabitant of that island, by that callous act bringing upon himself unwanted, unwholesome immortality and on his masters, the British, the full might of Les Lézards, the Lizard Kings, who now sat on Britannia's throne. It was an old, fanciful story, woven together of gossip and myth. Irving's adaptation, Orphan knew, had been wildly popular with the theatre-going public – particularly those of a young, mildly radical disposition – but was decried as dangerous nonsense by the palace, though Prime Minister Moriarty himself had so far kept silent on the issue. Either way, it was becoming evident that the play's stage-life would be kept short – which only added to the public's enthusiasm. Speculation in the press as to Irving's motivations in staging it was rife, but insubstantial.
When Vespucci began his return journey home, Lucy leaned forward, focused, as he knew she would. It was the portion that told of the coming of the whales: how they had accompanied the ill-fated ship all through the crossing of the Atlantic, and further, until they arrived at Greenwich and the city awoke, for the first time, to their song.
He edged towards her. Her hair was pulled back behind her ears, and her fingers were long, smudged with ink and with dirt under the nails as if she had been digging in Thames mud.
"How are the whales today?" he asked.
"Restless. I'm not sure why. Have you noticed the change in their song when you walked along the embankment?"
Leaning together against the balustrade, the crowd closing them in, it was like they had found themselves, momentarily, in a small, dark, comfortable alcove, a private space in which they were alone.
"You're the marine biologist," Orphan said. "I'm only a poet."
"Working with whales is like working with poets," Lucy said. She put away her pad and her pen. She had a small bag hanging over her shoulder. "They're unruly, obtuse, and self-important."
Orphan laughed. He took her hand in his. The skin of her palm always surprised him in its roughness; it was a hand used to hard work. Her eyes were dark and mesmerising, like lode-stars, and small, almost invisible laughter-lines gathered like a fine web at the corners. "I love you," Orphan said.
She smiled, and he kissed her.
On stage, Henry Irving abandoned the role of narrator as the final act began to unfold. Now, with all the considerable verve and power he was capable of, he played Shakespeare, the poet and playwright who rose to prominence in the court of the Lizard King and became the first of the Poet-Prime Ministers. Both Orphan and Lucy watched as the Ancient Mariner shuffled onto the stage to deliver the story of his life to Lord Shakespeare: Orphan, who had a natural interest in books, observed it closely. It was a heavy, leather-bound folio, the spine facing the audience, with the title The Rime of the Ancient Mariner etched in gilt onto it.
"I pass," cried the Ancient Mariner (a young actor, Beerbohm Tree, whom Orphan vaguely recognised), "like night, from land to land, I have strange power of speech," (here he took a deep breath, and continued), "that morning that his face I see, I know the man that must hear me: to him my tale I teach!" and he passed the heavy book to Shakespeare, who took it from him with a graceful nod, laid it on the table before him, and opened it–
There was the sound of an explosion, a deafening bang (and for Orphan, everything slowed, as)–
The book disintegrated in a cloud of dust–
Not dust, shrapnel (and Orphan, moving in jerky, dreamlike motions, grabbed hold of Lucy and let himself fall to the ground, his weight dragging her with him, his body first cushioning her fall and then covering her in a protective embrace)–
That tore into Shakespeare/Irving and cut his head away from his body and sent plumes of blood into the air.
The air filled with screams. The stage collapsed. It was, Orphan thought in his dazed, confused state on the floor of the theatre, holding on to the girl he loved, the definite end of the performance.

It began with a simple phone call to my friend Auri, a computer geek. I asked for help with my very successful website, which right now is attracting up to three visitors a month.
To have a strong online presence, you have to spend several hours a day using social media, like Facebooking, tweeting and updating your blog. This means cutting yourself off from the outside world. But that's the price you pay for being social.
Auri and I decided to meet for coffee. I got out my trusty mini legal pad and wrote down the time and date. Then I put a sticky note on my bathroom mirror. At my age, I know I will see it there several times the night before, reminding me of any early-morning obligations.
This system seldom fails, although one day I accidentally grabbed a list from the previous day and started repeating everything on it. I'm glad I have an honest barber.
Auri and I set the time for 9 a.m. the following Tuesday at Starbucks. Auri entered our engagement on his Google calendar, which I soon discovered automatically synched to my AOL calendar, telling me the time and location of the appointment. I don't like it when other people tell me where to go, but that was happening way before computers.
A minute after our call, a "meeting alert" magically appeared on my computer screen. The message suggested I pick a color for this entry to make it stand out and distinguish it from other appointments on my calendar, except I didn't have any. I had no idea what color a morning at Starbucks should be.
Brown seemed appropriate for morning java, but I wanted something more festive. Mary Ellen suggested taupe or mauve. I told her I wanted the color to reflect the importance of our get-together, not match our bedspread. I went with red.
The following morning, I got an "Invitation Update" in my email as well as on my cellphone. It was a request by Auri to change the time of our Tuesday breakfast from 9 to 8:30 a.m. I agreed to the new time, telling him in a comment box that I was changing the color of our meeting from red to green. Although I'm sure this didn't matter to Auri, the Department of Homeland Security was probably relieved.
Included with the update was a link to MapQuest, informing me how long it would take to get to Starbucks from my house, which was either 3 minutes away, 4 minutes away, 7 minutes away or 8 minutes away, depending on which Starbucks in my neighborhood I was going to.
On Tuesday morning, I got another cellphone alert (an annoying ding) that my breakfast meeting was in half an hour. Then at 8:15, I was dinged again, warning that I only had 15 minutes to make it on time. I rushed out the door, afraid that if I were late, news of my tardiness would go viral.
I reached Starbucks at 8:25. Auri had not arrived yet. I bought a coffee and waited. And waited. I called his cellphone at 9 a.m. He answered right away. "Auri, where are you? I'm at Starbucks on 82nd," I said. "Oh my gosh, was that today?"

If this is a real bear rally I would imagine that it will go higher than just 7600 level. Closer to 9000-10,000 before dropping. Anything less I wouldn't even call a bear rally but a minor correction on a way to the abyss.

Four More Years of Scott?
Published: Monday, March 31, 2014 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 30, 2014 at 11:44 p.m.
I have seen numerous times an advertisement featuring Gov. Rick Scott telling about his humble beginnings, and the difficulty his mother and stepfather had making ends meet. The governor tells us this is the reason he is doing all he can to create jobs — jobs that will give all a chance to grow out of poverty and have a chance for success like he did.
If rising to CEO of your company, while it is committing massive Medicare fraud is a success, then making a $700 million payout to remove Scott meets your definition of success, we have different values. He did not go to prison. Does that make him successful?
One of the first major things Scott did after becoming governor was to cancel the high-speed-rail project between Orlando and Tampa, which cost many, many jobs and lots of funding from the federal government. This money was not saved but just went to other states for other projects.
Scott's Republican Party, to include Scott, is against raising the minimum wage and restoring long-term unemployment insurance. Scott has been for further cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations. He made massive cuts in education until he found out how unpopular it was with Florida residents. He may say he is for jobs, but his actions do not reflect that position.
I urge all to take a look at Scott's record, both as governor and his work in private industry. Then determine if we need four more years of Scott as governor.

The SoHo Playhouse stands on land that was once Richmond Hill, a colonial mansion that served as headquarters for General George Washington and later home to Aaron Burr. Purchased from Burr in 1817, the land was then developed into federalist-style row houses by fur magnate John Jacob Astor.
15 Van Dam Street, was designated at the Huron Club, a popular meeting house and night club for the Democratic Party. The turn of the century brought the Tammany Hall machine to the Huron Club. Prominent regulars included "Battery" Dan Finn and the infamous Jimmy "Beau James" Walker, known as "The night Mayor" due to his predilection for jazz clubs and chorus girls.
The main floor was transformed into a theater in the 1920's, and in the 60's operated as the Village South, home to Playwrights Unit Workshop under the direction of Edward Albee. It was on this stage that Mr. Albee produced many first works of Terrance Mcnally, John Guare, Lanford Wilson, Sam Shephard, AR Gurney and Leroi Jones.

The national gun-control advocacy group, Brady Campaign has criticized Washington for not having laws that prevent child access to firearms or require trigger locks for guns. Amina Kocer-Bowman's parents have the right to sue the Bremerton School District, but beyond restitution the goal should be preventing child access to firearms
It should not come as a surprise that parents of the 9-year-old girl accidentally shot by a classmate in a Bremerton school are suing the district for $10 million.
Amina almost died. She was hospitalized for six weeks, enduring five surgeries. Her ongoing recovery will eat up medical dollars the family likely doesn't have.
But are they right to target the Bremerton School District? The suit alleges school officials failed to grasp the potential danger posed by the troubled boy who bragged to friends about bringing a gun to school.
The Bowman's attorney talked to Times reporter Christine Clarridge and outlined their case, saying: "Despite a judicial finding that the (boy's) parents were unfit, they were allowed to raise their children, including the boy with the gun. They were present constantly and they were the example that the child followed. We have brought suit against them because they entrusted firearms to a child and also let this child believe that the .45 caliber handgun is approporiate protection against bullying at the school."

The Bowman's are also suing the boy's family, including his father, mother, the mother's boyfriend and an uncle who stepped into to help after the shooting. The boy, who is not being named because he's a minor, wrote a letter of apology to the girl. His mother and her boyfriend faced criminal charges. That's accountability, but clearly the Bowmans do not think it is enough.
People have the freedom to sue. Going beyond Amina, what might have prevented this tragedy was safe gun storage. Trigger lock laws, for example. A Times editorial argued in the days after the shooting that guns are already banned at school.
In the latest ratings by the Brady Campaign, a national gun-control-advocacy group, Washington scored no points in the child-safety category because the state does not require trigger locks for guns or have laws preventing child access to firearms.
Regardless of whether Bremerton fights this case or starts writing a check, state lawmakers ought to think about the next Amina and pass a safe gun storage law.

Reeling in foul "Catfish" is nothing new for Internet detectives Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, but on the show's third season, they're not letting Internet liars off the hook so easily.
Fans who have been keeping up with Nev and Max's most recent travels have noticed that the sleuths aren't mincing many words (look no further than Nev's now-infamous argument with Kidd Cole for evidence), and in the interview below, Nev explains that while filming the newest batch of episodes, he gave himself license to express his sincere anger when the online liars he met weren't playing nice.
"For me this season, I definitely made a decision that I was going to be a little more open and forthcoming with my feelings," Nev says in the clip. He adds that some of Season 3's offenders have been "acting out of anger or intent to hurt other people," and that when he felt like banging his head against the wall, he resolved to respond the way he believed a viewer might.
Still, he admits he's not always proud of his more aggressive confrontations.
"I don't always feel good about it, but I think it's important that if someone makes you feel a certain way, you should let them know that, so they hopefully understand that what they're doing is having a negative effect on someone," he explains.
Do you like the Gangsta Nev? Or do you prefer the kinder, gentler version? Sound off, and keep watching "Catfish" Wednesday nights at 10/9c!

I recently spoke at Yale University, where it was icy and Gothic, everyone was very nice and very smart, and I was reminded of what it was like to be 21 and not know how to order a cocktail yet. I was also reminded of what it was like to be able to say, "I study literature" (or philosophy, or economics) and have that mean basically full-time: I LIVE THE LIFE OF THE MIND. Oh, college!
Specifically, I was the guest at a Master's Tea, wherein the master of one of Yale's residential colleges chats with a guest about some interesting topic. We drank Earl Grey. It was very civilized. Although the posters for my talk said nothing gender-specific, almost everyone who showed up was female. I just have that vibe, I guess. More

I decided I wanted to be a prostitute when I was seventeen. Most people assume I made this decision because I had seen Pretty Woman too many times, because my parents didn't hug me enough, or because I was somehow coerced into my decision. None of these assumptions are correct. I've always been prone to viewing my life more as a story or a series of discrete experiences than as an actual life of connected events. However, saying I decided to join the oldest profession to advance my story is also overly simplistic. More

Ron is retired and enjoys doing his family's genealogy in the U.S. and Sweden and that of his wife's family from Australia and Ireland.
I'd be happy to transfer the memorial of anyone to whom I'm not more closely related. I find it rather selfish of those folks who require Mayflower Society standards before a transfer can be requested. This is not a competition to see who can "acquire" the most memorials - and what happens to them if you get hit by a truck.

Jean/Harold were actually my neighbors when they gave up farming and moved into Taylorville. I walked the cemetery three times and I don't think Gail has a headstone...which, of course, made me sad. But, I wondered, too, if she had gotten married and perhaps was under another name.

RE: George Miller
Hi Ron
The Social Security Application and Claims Index on Ancestry.com has the birth place as Taylorville. I did see that several family trees on Ancestry had the birth place listed as Tovey. I believe the Social Security Application would be a more reliable source. The Social Security Application also has the birth date as 28 Aug 1902, which is the same as what is on the gravestone.

Oh my that is not true at all!!! If you have any relatives or friends that you want transferred just let me know. I am happy to do it. :-) I will update my profile to include "loves to transfer."
I only ask that people let me know if they are related. Because, I am interested. Not to make it a barrier.

New Tracking Tool for NYPD
In a collaboration with software giant Microsoft Corp., the New York Police Department has developed a new tracking tool that gives police officials near-instant access to reams of law-enforcement data in one centralized location.
Microsoft plans to market the Domain Awareness System to other cities, and New York City will receive 30% of any revenue. "Microsoft provided the technical and engineering muscle, but NYPD personnel were the architects of this new system," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a Wednesday news conference.
The system can gather data from security cameras, license-plate readers, radiation detectors and 911 calls and hunt through dozens of existing law-enforcement databases for related information.
It is designed to eliminate several steps, making connections that might not be immediately obvious or finding information it might otherwise take days to find. Officials said they hoped the technology would enhance counterterrorism efforts and boost conventional crime-fighting efforts.
A 911 report of a suspicious package, for instance, could quickly trigger a review of a nearby security camera.
"The system allows us to connect the dots by instantly tapping into the details of crime records, 911 calls, license plate readers, videotape footage and more," NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at the news conference, held inside the department's Lower Manhattan Security Initiative headquarters.
The project cost an estimated $30 to $40 million, an amount Mr. Bloomberg said the city can "recoup…over a period of time and maybe even make a few bucks" under its agreement with Microsoft.
Civil-liberty advocates have long expressed concerns about law-enforcement expanding its reach through technology, particularly in retaining information on citizens who haven't committed a crime. The tool doesn't add any new surveillance technology. Instead, it combines existing technology in a new way.
"We fully support the police using technology to combat crime and terrorism, but law-abiding New Yorkers should not end up in a police database every time they walk their dog, go to the doctor, or drive around Manhattan," Christopher Dunn, associate legal director at the New York Civil Liberty Union, said. "The NYPD's camera system has enormous potential for abuse and therefore should have strict privacy protections and independent oversight."
Mr. Bloomberg said the city conducts surveillance within legal guidelines.
He said private buildings have long used security cameras, and cellphone companies track users' movements. "That's just something you're going to have to learn to deal with," he said.

cadmium (Cd), cultivars, phytoextraction, quantitative trait locus (QTL), rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Breed. Sci. : Vol. 61 (2011) No. 2 221
Phytoextraction by high-cadmium (Cd)–accumulating rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars has been proposed as an attractive technique for cleaning up Cd-contaminated paddy field soil. To breed rice cultivars useful for Cd phytoextraction, it is necessary to understand the genetic basis of Cd accumulation in aerial parts. We developed backcross inbred lines (BILs) derived from a cross between a low-Cd–accumulating cultivar, Koshihikari (japonica), and a relatively high-Cd–accumulating cultivar, Jarjan (indica). The BILs were grown in fields containing two low levels of Cd and in pots of soil containing a moderate level of Cd. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis revealed that a major QTL, qCdp7 (QTL potentially useful for Cd-phytoextraction on chromosome 7) contributed to accumulation of Cd in both brown rice and straw of plants grown in any of the three soils, and it accounted for 31% to 54% of the phenotypic variance. To confirm the phytoextraction-promotion ability of qCdp7, we grew BILs carrying the Jarjan allele of qCdp7 in Cd-contaminated soil, and confirmed the reduction of the Cd concentration in the shoots of Koshihikari subsequently grown in the phytoextracted soil. These results demonstrate that the Jarjan qCdp7 allele is effective at phytoextracting Cd from the soil.
