The Mississippi Digital Library is the collaborative digital library program for the state. Our aim is to provide online access to primary source materials held by repositories in the state of Mississippi.
With a grant from the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Mississippi Digital Library began in December 2003 as a partnership between Delta State University, Jackson State University, The Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Tougaloo College, The University of Mississippi, and The University of Southern Mississippi. Initially, the project focused exclusively on primary sources associated with the civil rights era.
The Mississippi Digital Library has since expanded to include materials covering a wide range of subject areas, with contributions from museums, public libraries, historical societies and other cultural institutions throughout the entire state.
All cultural institutions in Mississippi are welcome to participate. Please contact us to find out how your institution can join the Mississippi Digital Library.

I've noticed that in trying to get seemingly simple node packages to install with npm (e.g. nerve, a "micro-framework") I often run into some form of dependency pain. After some digging, I tracked down the problem with nerve to the bcrypt module, which is apparently written in C/C++ and has to be compiled after the package manager downloads it.
Unfortunately, it seems like if you want this to work on Windows, the answer is (from one of the bcrypt issues threads) "install a Linux VM". So earlier today I did just that, and started running into other dependencies (you need certain unnamed apt packages installed before you can even think about building, despite GCC being installed), then eventually after seeing yet another C compiler error (about some package or other not being able to find "Arrays.c" I think), I actually gave up, and switched from nerve to express instead. Ironically, the larger and more complicated express installs with npm on Linux and Windows without a single issue.

NVIDIA are still riding the success-train of the GTX580 launch (with various countries experiencing way shorter than usual stock levels) and have now launched the GTX570. We talked about this not very long ago with spec details but pricing eluded us at the time.
The Palit GTX570 info we posted is still correct - 732MHz core, 480 CUDA cores with shader clocks at 1.4GHz. Pricing is set at £299 including VAT in the UK. This is interesting as it's now £100 more than the GTX470 but £100 less than the GTX580.
Hopefully TweakTown get a review sample this time? nVidia, please be our friend.

"At our shows, we want the kids to know that they're part of our team too," said Ambassadors coach Lade Majic. "We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat during the show and get involved in all of the fun stuff we do." Unlike other "Harlem- style" basketball teams, the Ambassadors team with local non-profit organizations to conduct community fund-raising events.

Domina Vick (Sir Vick)
About Domina/Sir Vick
I am a butch female with masculine energy. I am not a frilly female who will be wearing high heels or sexy outfits, so if you want that, look elsewhere. Nor do I go by the title Lady or Mistress. You may call me Sir, or Domina.
I've been involved with BDSM in my personal life for 10 years. I started offering professional domme services in 2010. I enjoy offering a safe place in which my clients can explore their kink.
My approach is different from that of many pro dommes. I do not create elaborate fetish illusions or humiliate my clients (unless specifically negotiated). I prefer to make people feel welcome and at ease the minute they walk in, and to maintain an environment of physical and emotional safety throughout each session. I am also a massage therapist and energy worker, and my BDSM sessions often include those components. Some people say that I am a healer or even a medicine woman, but I like to think that I offer you my service to lead you safely on your journey and safely bring you back.
In short, I will be real with you, so that you can be real with me--and more importantly, with yourself, as you explore your desires and limits in sadomasochism and submission.
Don't assume, however, that because I prefer to be more real with my clients, that you won't find the power and fierceness you are seeking. Rest assured that whatever the level of physical or emotional intensity you need, I will not flinch from providing it, provided it is within my skill set to do so. Your sessions with me may well be the most intense sessions you have ever had, both physically and emotionally.
I look forward to talking with you and finding the right session for you.

"If all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of woman were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war." — Abraham Lincoln
In 1862, the men of Water's Ford, Pennsylvania, rally to answer Mr. Lincoln's call to arms, spurring the women of the Elm Creek Valley into their own battle to preserve the nation. Dorothea Granger, dismayed by her scholarly husband's bleak descriptions of food shortages and illness in the soldiers' camps, marshals her friends to "wield their needles for the Union" and provide for the men's needs. Her friend Constance Wright staunchly supports her husband as he is repeatedly turned away from serving in the Union army because of the color of his skin, determined to help him secure both the privileges and the responsibilities of citizenship. Anneke Bergstrom's pacifist husband does not enlist, but his safety becomes her shame—one that compels her to work ceaselessly for the Union cause to prove her family's loyalty. A gifted writer committed to hastening the end of the war, Gerda Bergstrom takes on local southern sympathizers in the pages of the Water's Ford Register, risking the wrath of the Copperhead press—and the jealous wife of the regimental surgeon she loves.
While the women work, hope, and pray at home, the men they love confront loneliness, boredom, and harrowing danger on the bloody battlefields of Virginia and Pennsylvania. Anxious for news, the women share precious letters around the quilting circle, drawing strength and comfort from one another as they witness from afar the suffering and deprivation their husband, brothers, sons, and sweethearts must endure. It falls to the Union Quilters to provide for the soldiers at the front and the wounded veterans who have come home, to run farms and businesses, and to protect their homes and families when the Confederate army threatens the Elm Creek Valley. Their new independence will forever alter the patchwork of town life in ways that transcend even the ultimate sacrifices of war.
Jennifer Chiaverini has made quite a name for herself with her best-selling Elm Creek Quilts series. From the Civil War to the roaring '20s to contemporary settings, these novels have offered suspense, romance and, at times, in-depth looks into the social, political and cultural differences that helped shape a nation. In the latest Elm Creek Quilts novel, The Union Quilters, readers are introduced to Dorothea Granger—beloved wife of Thomas—as she stands in her kitchen, swallowing her tears, watching the man she loves prepare to cross Pennsylvania to enlist in the Union army in 1861. Dorothea is a true leader in her small town: She's constantly helping other families, running the sewing circle and even using her home as a station on the Underground Railroad. But having to keep the tears from her eyes as Thomas departs is almost impossible. Constance Wright and her boys live in the small town of Elm Creek as well. Her husband, Abel, is also packing to join the men on their march into battle, but Abel has an obstacle the others do not. He's African American, and the Union has yet to let men of color wear the blue uniform and stand up for their rights. Among the other residents in town are Gerda Bergstrom, a slightly bitter woman who's in love with a man she can never have, and her sister, Anneke, whose own husband refuses to join the fight, choosing instead to stand by his opinion that you should never kill your fellow man. Like the quilts that are created by these fantastic ladies' hands, Chiaverini's storylines are seamlessly united. Between the sewing circle becoming an organization that will do all they can to support their noble fighting men to the in-depth accounts of frightening battles to the vivid look at the intense prejudice that existed in a world teetering on the cusp of freedom, every moment of this story is truly unforgettable. Chiaverini has once again written an intense and beautiful book—so much so that readers will almost hear the hollow echo of the fife and drum as they immerse themselves in every compelling page.
— Amy Lignor, BookPage
Another in the fascinating Elm [Creek] Quilts series, this title is set during the Civil War, giving readers a look at the Union home front, with rallies, quilts for soldiers, fundraisers and the ladies who make up the Elm Creek Sewing and Quilting Circle... We seldom think beyond the battles and generals, but the story of the home [front] is a compelling one. Although we might know how the big picture turned out, the individual stories presented here are rivetingly new.
Elm Creek Farm is located in a little valley in Pennsylvania, near the town of Water's Ford. Like the towns around it, most people are strong Unionists and the farm was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. Now the townsfolk are getting ready to send their men off to fight. The ladies' sewing circle has organized to send them off in style, with bunting decorating the buildings, a pageant, a parade, and speeches by the mayor and local ministers. Little do they know, but they will need those organizing skills a lot in the next few years. The group is varied — some immigrants, a free black woman, some feminists who believe that would should vote and control property — but they are united in their desire to support the troops.
When letters home describe the lack of supplies and decent food, the ladies rally to quilt blankets and to raise funds for bandages and other necessities. They also must take up the reins of the farms and businesses that the men left behind. Each woman in the circle may have a different strength, but together they are a moving force. And they don't intend to let the town fathers take over their efforts. As the war goes on, and the battles around Gettysburg devastate families and towns, we see the characters of the ladies as windows into the life and times of small-town Northern life.
— Bunny Callahan, RT Book Reviews
The Union Quilters is Jennifer Chiaverini's newest novel, the 17th in her popular Elm Creek Quilts Series.
It takes a step back in history to the remarkable women who lived in Elm Creek Valley in Pennsylvania during the Civil War. The reader meets ancestors of some contemporary characters created by this author who skillfully blends quilting and history.
She will appear at 7:30 p.m. March 4 at the Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch for a reading, questions and answers and signing.
It's not necessary to read the earlier books to enjoy this one. It's a complete tale in itself, starting with the colorful endpapers that illustrate special quilt blocks these women used. Several of Chiaverini's earlier books were set during the Civil War and characters reappear here to continue their stories. Some, for instance hosted runaway slaves in the Underground Railroad network.
The Union Quilters takes place in a rural Pennsylvania valley — and with northern soldiers in the thick of battle, in a rustic hospital and more. She has obviously spent untold hours in researching the accounts of life at that time and historical detail is woven in with character development. (She writes that she lives in Madison, Wis., and has access to the fine university library there.)
Families are left with the women in charge when men leave for war. They decide to build a meeting house where they can work together, raise money to help their soldiers and host educational programs. Capable women that they are, they determine to operate it themselves, to the consternation of the mayor and town council.
Though each has an individual story, they sew and knit and quilt and gather food to send to the men at war. And to socialize and lend each other support.
Each character represents a way of thinking, a facet of political thought of the time and for those who have read other novels in the series, there may be connecting threads. The situation of the one black family tells another piece of the town's story, as does that of the German-born husband who doesn't believe in war.
The Union Quilters is well-crafted and will interest historical fiction buffs as well as quilters. Those who are new to the series will probably next want to look up earlier titles with various settings and timelines.
— Sonya Ellingboe, Highlands Ranch Herald
In 1862, war comes knocking at the door of the community of Water's Ford, Pa., and as Union supporters, the local men rally to answer the call to enlist. As their men march off to their unknown fates, the women of Elm Creek Valley are determined to contribute their share to the war effort and use their sewing and quilting skills to craft quilts and other items so desperately needed by their menfolk.
In "The Union Quilters," Jennifer Chiaverini's latest Elm Creek Quilts novel, the women left behind in times of war show their strength and compassion in a fascinating historical story that sheds a new light on the hardships faced at home during the arduous Civil War.
The ladies of Water's Ford each face widely varying yet common fears as the Civil War tearing their country apart rages on. Constance Wright's husband Abel is an accepted member of the community and a skilled rifleman, but is turned away from enlisting simply because he is black. Dorothea's pregnant sister-in-law Charlotte Granger is worried about her husband, Dr. [Jonathan] Granger, who sends comforting, regular updates on the men from home to his wife, but also sends more detailed letters to his former love, Gerda Berstrom, causing ill-will and strife among the two women.
Anneke Bergstrom must face whispers from the town since her husband refused to enlist, preferring to stay out of the fray, and Dorothea Granger Nelson worries about her educated schoolmaster husband Thomas who carried her Dove in the Window quilt into battle with him, not realizing that she was pregnant with their second child.
A patriotic project to supply new hospitals in Washington with quilts bands the women together, and the project turns into an opportunity for them to show they are capable of running their lives, families and community with great success. Though tension and worry reign over the small community, the women do their best to support one another and hold their families together until their men come marching home.
The 17th book in the Elm Creek Quilts series, "The Union Quilters" is a deeper look at the original group of women who began the quilting group that has been the focus of Chiaverini's novels. With a sharp eye to detail and historical fact, Chiaverini has combined the stories of the women left behind during war with how quilting allowed the women to cope to create an intriguing story that is timely with the 150th anniversary of the Civil War approaching. This novel is one of Chiaverini's best works to date.

Mission Kitchen Inspiration
Wood, beautiful joinery, handcrafted and simple. If a large oak tree falls on your property and you have the tools and know-how, or know a good carpenter...
Mission kitchen. Love the mullions and the white marble tile backsplash. The mullions look like they were based on those at the famous Gamble House in Pasadena, archdaily.com - Kitchen by Andrew Almeter: urbancraftsmenco.blogspot.com
Perfect! Note how the different cabinet depths and combination of drawers and doors add interest.
Local stone as backsplash. Drop in farm sink. Authentic pegs in the corners of cabinet doors hold the frame together, in lieu of glue. crown-point.com
Old fashioned wallpaper and wood backsplash. Cross mullions in upper cabinets. crown-point.com

Glass wall cabinets, farm sink, open shelves.

Old fashioned wallpaper and wood backsplash. Stickley said he designed with "simplicity, usefulness, and with the thoughtful use of natural materials." crown-point.com
Square feet and green tile backsplash behind antique stove. crown-point.com
Not all Mission cabinets are dark. crown-point.com
Love the combination of baby blue walls, white trim, medium toned wood and apothacary cabinets. crown-point.com
The stained oak cabinets perfectly match the backsplash art tiles. Craftsman and Mission design lines are usually straight and simple and are larger, heavier and thicker than those found in the Arts and Crafts style. Tiles: Handcraft Tile Company. oldhouseonline.com
See-through oak cabinets above the island let in more light. Orange walls go well with oak cabinets. White tile with gray grout lends an old fashioed feel.

Estimated Construction Dates:
Jan 06, 2018 - Oct 31, 2019
Project Status
Projected Funding:
Project Description:
This project is one of six projects funded by the 2007 1/2 cent sales tax renewal. This project will reconstruct the roadway as a 3-lane facility and acquire right-of-way for ultimate divided 4-lane facility with turn lanes. The existing one-lane RR tunnel will be removed, and widened to support two-way traffic. The project will not be constructed until the Union Pacific right-of-way is acquired by the city.
Project Rationale:
SAFETY: This project will improve safety by leveling the roadway and improving sight distance. The right of way component will preserve right of way for future capacity improvements.
Status Details:
Wilson and Company of Kansas City, MO began the conceptual study, design and survey work in July 2010. The Concept Phase studied the costs and impacts of several horizontal and vertical alignments. The Concept Phase Alignment report and Traffic Study were completed in January 2011. A public meeting was held on February 8, 2011 and the alignment options that were investigated were presented as well as the recommended alignment. The preliminary design began in May, 2011. Wilson completed preliminary design in October, 2011 and and completed the right-of-way plans, tract maps and legal descriptions in early 2012. Land acquisition for easements and right-of-way is on hold until the railroad right-of-way issue is resolved. Plans are 90% completed. The 90% Marking and Signing Plans are included below.

If you like my patterns checkout my patterns at Loveknitting.com or Ravelry. You can either search for stoperror or find me under the designers as Sandra Jaeger.
Please note: Due to the VAT-tax changes taking effect on January 1 2015 I had to delete my on sale Patterns on Craftsy as there is no way to handle the new tax Regulation affecting European buyers via Craftsy.
Ravelry tries to come up with a solution.
If you are from not EU-based countries or from Germany you can still buy my on sale Patterns as usual via Ravelry.
If you are from a European (not Germany) Country unfortunately there is no solution how to handle it at the Moment.
Ravelry tries to come up with a solution in the next 6 months.
Until then my sales are limited to non EU users and Germany.
I'm very sorry for that, but the new rule is very complicated.
Jippie we got ourself a Ravelry group: The knitting chartists where you can make pattern requests and take part in our pattern development.
T-Shirts gibt's von mir auch bei spreadshirt.
News 2016: I can now republish priced standalone Charts that were available at Craftsy on Loveknitting. If you are missing one, please let me know via
and I will offer it there and send you an update.

For Pittsburgh Steelers fans, the arrival of annual training camp at Saint Vincent College means football is just around the corner. At times, the arrival of players has taken on a surreal air, but not this year. With so many new faces entering camp, the Steelers players appear to have the season on their mind rather than headlines. Saturday marks the first official day of camp.
Turnovers on the roster has been key during the off-season. With the departure of many of familiar and veteran faces, Steelers fans are getting their first glimpse in person of what the 2014 team may look like during the regular season. The lone departure from the 'norm' was an appearance by 34-year-old Ike Taylor who came wearing a GPro camera that allowed him to take video of the media who had their cameras aimed at him.
When asked about camp and the upcoming season, Taylor said, "It's a god feeling. From the OTAs, to the mini camp, to right now...this team with all these young guys and the energy, it's like the 2004, 2005 feeling."
One of the first players to check in on Friday was center Maurkice Pouncey. After missing the 2013 season with a knee injury, Pouncey expressed excitement over being back in Latrobe. "It's like my rookie year all over again. I woke up this morning with more jitters than ever." Pouncey went on to add, "I missed the whole (2013) year. I am excited to be back out there...after so much success at the beginning [of my career] and it's all taken away from you. It's like your first day back on the football field. To get back out here with the guys is a great feeling for me."
During the offseason, young safety Shamarko Thomas spent time training with Troy Polamalu, and it started with a text according to Thomas. "I texted him and told him I want to be great," said Thomas. "He explained what it takes to be great. He said you have to show by actions first, by being mature and how you carry yourself off the field." Thomas got an experience many haven't had in that Polamalu typically works out on his own during the offseason. "It was an amazing experience," admitted Thomas.
Linebacker Sean Spence is nearly ecstatic to be back at training camp after missing the past two seasons with a knee injury that was serious enough to leave many, including Spence, wondering if he'd ever play in another football game. "Last year was full of a lot of down moments, sad times," said Spence. "I was away from football for my second year in a row. This year I am full of job, around the guys, taking advantage of every opportunity."
Monday will be the first day in which the Steelers players will put on pads in practice.
Note: The Steelers announced Friday that safety Mike Mitchell and running back Alvester Alexander have been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP) to begin camp.

Video: Va. police donate gifts to family in need
Officers gave scores of presents to a family with three autistic children
Inside NOVA
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Christmas came early for a less-fortunate Woodbridge family on Wednesday night.
Officers from the Prince William County police department's eastern end district, as well as Mrs. Claus, gave scores of presents to the Gizaw family — which includes single mother Sophia, and her three children, Martha, 15, Daniel, 13, and Hannah, 12 — all of whom have varying degrees of autism.
Sophia Gizaw, who recently graduated from Northern Virginia Community College with a nursing degree and recently accepted a position at a Fredericksburg-area rehabilitation center, said she recently had a lot of bills to pay which made it very difficult to provide the Christmas she wanted for her family.

Zoot Sims: Does the Sun Really Shine on the Moon?
Does the Sun Really Shine on the Moon?
Zoot Sims (tenor sax)
Waiting Game (Impulse A-9131)
Zoot Sims (tenor sax),
David Snell (harp), plus eleven violins, four violas, two celli, oboe/English horn, three French horns, classical guitar, bass and drums.
Composed & arranged by Gary McFarland. Conducted by Jack Parnell.
Recorded: London, November 28, 1966
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
This is one of my favorite jazz-soloist-with-strings albums, despite certain flaws. The usually impeccable Sims plays a bit sharp at times, and there's a decidedly out-of-tune oboe player. Regardless, Gary McFarland's scoring is gorgeous, and Sims's playing is consistently direct and moving in his best Lester Young/Ben Webster manner. "Does the Sun Really Shine on the Moon?" is one of three McFarland themes on the recording, and is among the composer's best melodies. The gifted British jazz harpist David Snell adds some unusual ingredients.

Hello folks, last week was truly one for the books! Easter 2014 will go down in the Tomlinson family chronicles as one glory-packed, God showing up and showing out celebration. If you haven't heard about our miracle, you can read my daughter-in-law's update here: ProvidenceCarey.com
You back? Cool! Wonderful, wasn't it?
And yet, life doesn't stop moving, which means I'm so far behind I don't know if I've found a rope or lost my horse. Who knows? Maybe you'll get another newsletter by the weekend. At any rate, here's the story I told on ATS LIVE radio's show last Monday that I promised to put on the site. Better late than never, let's chat…
What began with high heels, pouring rain, and wet pavement, ended with a night in the ER, a morning in the orthopedic clinic, and a verdict– fractured right arm. Excellent.
Within hours, I was scheduled to be in West Virginia speaking at The Greenbrier, known the world over as America's Resort!
On one hand, my remaining hand, I didn't want to cancel. However, I was quickly realizing that I didn't need to travel alone because heretofore I have not required enough of my left arm. It knows nothing. Who you gonna call? #911 BFF!
Sometime later, my BFF and I were sailing through the skies on the first leg of our trip, with me seated eight rows behind Rhonda. Did I mention I was in pain? Surely, no one will blame me for needing a distraction. Okay, maybe Rhonda, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
I had marked our jovial flight attendant as a practical joker from the get-go, (we people recognize each other.) On a whim, I waved him down and shared the details of what I must say was a brilliantly inspired prank. I knew he was in when his eyes began to gleam.
Within moments, under the gleeful eyes of those who had overheard our conversation, the attendant approached my unsuspecting friend resting at the front of the plane. After confirming that she was Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Rhonda Perry, he informed her the cockpit had received information about a security breach and her name was involved. Security personal were waiting for her at the gate in Atlanta where she would be detained for questioning. (Breathe, Rhonda.)
As he got to the part about having a card with the name of the person who'd be conducting the investigation, my accomplice reached for his pocket. Bless her heart. Rhonda was THIS close to panicking when he handed her that business card– my business card! Boo-ya!
I know payback is coming but hey, once we landed the attendant along with the pilot presented Rhonda with a little plastic badge of honor. Yep! BFF earned her wings! That should count for something…right?
Hugs, Shellie

Check out ESPN Boston's Chris Forsberg with the complete report.
"Numbers, just a lot of numbers [in front] of him," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said when asked about Gaffney's departure. "He plays extremely hard. He's one of those guys that you would love to figure out a way to keep him on the team. At the end of the day, the numbers got him.
Here is the comment from Gaffney's Facebook page.
"All good things must come to an end. It was a great time being w the celtics, it ended today. I appreciate all the love n support. You guys are the best. My agent is back to the drawing board and stirring up something. So when the next move is finalized you all will know. Thanks again everyone."

Nebraska cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste, who is a lanky and bigger defensive back, is exactly what Rob Ryan needs for his defense (Bleacher Report).
The careers of Stanley Jean-Baptiste and former Cornhusker-turned Tampa Bay Bucs linebacker Lavonte David continue to follow similar paths coming from Miami, attending the same junior college, playing for Nebraska, being picked No.58 in the NFL Draft a year apart and now both playing in the NFC South (Omaha World-Herald).

London black cab makers stage protest over job losses
15:23 01 November 2012
Staff at the maker of London black cabs held talks today with administrators after staging a protest after being told of potential job losses.
A handful of workers at Manganese Bronze locked themselves in the factory last night after administrators PWC were called in because of a failure to gain new funding.
A total of 156 workers are to be made redundant as a result of the firm's collapse, prompting an angry response from the Unite union. People working at the firm's London base are among those with a job is under threat.
Regional officer Peter Coulson said: "The parties held detailed discussions over the future of the plant and will continue to maintain a dialogue.
"Unite remains committed to securing the manufacturer's future and supporting the skilled workers who are facing extremely difficult times."
The administrators said later that they had met staff to explain that, "regrettably", there will be 156 redundancies with immediate effect.

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN ; 11 May 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570511-TC-JCA-01; CL 32: 144-145
Chelsea, 11 May, 1857—
Dear Sister,—I received that Letter (by T. C. in Canada) from the Dr this morning,1 with order to forward it to you directly. It is a very good Letter, and you will have pleasure in reading it. Tom is in a field fit for a strong young fellow;—and is very wise indeed to prefer the rugged independent plough to the contemptible implement recommended as substitute. That of boiling maple-sugar in the bush, and reading Homer by the light of the sticks, is quite great to me. I have sent Tom off his Cromwell (on hearing that the other has arrived): your Jim gets his, I doubt not, regularly?—
We are in our usual way of health here; Jane mostly a prisoner, but free of cold, and only waiting the sun in order to get out again, and gather some strength. We have had the bitterest three weeks of weather I can remember for the season: but today it is Summer all over; and May, I hope, will still do itself credit. I have fairly had to change my waistcoat, and cd stand other changes, tho' fire was indispensable two days ago.— My work is getting on laboriously, and in general ill: I am going to Press, however, this week; will do Two Volumes (half the work) off my hands; then wait to gather strength for the other Two,2—or leave them lying altogether, if I be not stronger. Never was such an undoable work cut out for me; and never was I in such case for doing any work whatever. But if we hold up till this time twelvemont[h];3 if we can;—and we must be canny! An immense rubbish mound will be rolled off one's poor downbroken old heart!—
The Death of Lady Ashburton, which you will see noted in the Examiner,4 was altogether unlooked-for by me, tho' a great deal of confused rumour, and direct tidings too, circulated round us, all winter, on the illness whh came on at Nice. I parted from her in October; fancying she & a group of friends5 she had gathered were to have the pleasantest winter; and it ends in this way. The event comes heavy upon me, and stretches far and wide as I consider it. A lesson sent me, and truly a very sad one; and a loss in several respects such as I need not hope to replace.6 Since our dear Mother's death, there has nothing like it come. "God sanctify it to those concerned!" as my Mother would have prayed,—the one wise prayer.— — Adieu, dear Jean: I hope to send you another line in not many days. Your affectionate
T. Carlyle

Accounting for Preferred Stock Redemption Rights
Original post by Shula Asher Silberstein of Demand Media
Preferred stock is a type of stock that gets priority if a company doesn't have enough funds available to pay dividends to all its stockholders. Companies can't pay dividends to common stockholders until they have paid all preferred stockholders, so in some cases preferred stockholders are the only stockholders receiving any dividend. In exchange for this privilege, preferred stockholders usually accept a flat dividend instead of a dividend based on the stock's current value.
Par Value
The par value of preferred stock tells stockholders the value of dividends they will receive for each share of preferred stock. For example, if the par value is 5 percent, stockholders will get $5 for every $100 they invested in the stock. Par value is usually listed as a percentage to make it easier to calculate how much the company must pay preferred stockholders.
Paid-In Capital
Accountants list preferred stock as a paid-in capital account. For example, if a preferred stock has a par value of $1,000, accountants list $1,000 as a paid-in capital account labeled "preferred stock." This tells the accountant how much preferred stock has been bought so that he can calculate the dividends the company must pay to preferred stockholders. If stockholders pay more than the par value to receive the preferred stock, the excess is listed as a separate paid-in capital account. For example, if an investor pays $1,200 for the stock, the excess $200 over par will be recorded as "Paid in Capital in Excess of Par - Preferred Stock."
Redemption Rights
Most preferred stock is nonparticipatory. This means that the preferred stockholders get the same dividend regardless of how much the company is worth. Preferred stockholders' dividends are based on the stock's par value, not on the company's total value. Thus accountants simply multiply the percentage of par value by the total par value to determine the dividends each preferred stockholder is entitled to. For example, if the par value is 5 percent and is $250 worth of stock, the stockholder is entitled to $12.50.
Cumulative Stock
Some preferred stock is cumulative. This means that the company didn't pay dividends to preferred stockholders in prior years and thus must pay them, along with current dividends, before paying common stockholders. If this is the case, the accountant records the entire amount of preferred dividends paid and puts a note in the business' financial statement explaining that the dividends were cumulative and the reason for the prior year's omission.

Two recent headlines featuring the risks of youth using social media reinforce the importance of parental presence on and off line. A recent article in iOL Lifestyle magazine, featured a story about how common it is for youth under 13 years to have established and use social media accounts on a regular basis, and a Chicago news story features a rash of fires set in garbage cans and playground equipment by juveniles who posted their arson acts on social media.
Law enforcement encourage parents to monitor their children's on-line world. And yet cyber-parent traps can make it difficult to be truly aware of what is happening in their children's lives.
Below are two cyber-parent traps to watch out for:
Hyper focus on the devices and apps. Rather the focus needs to be on the relationship with the child. Fearful and anxious efforts to control the technology and your child, or worse yet, abdication because you are overwhelmed, will weaken channels of communication and encourage kids to keep secrets. For information about parental control settings for devices and apps, go to: YourSphere. Engage your child in the process of setting controls so he can appreciate how such controls protect him from unwelcome influence and problems. The higher objective is to create a culture of transparency so your child is coming to you to or another trusted adult to discuss new apps and what is happening in their life.
Caving into pressure to grant privacy. Parents experience tremendous pressure to accept some fundamental untruths. One of the most common pressures modern parents experience is this notion that children need privacy from their parents. Clarify for your child that private is personal stuff you keep from the world; it is the antithesis of posting your emotions and issues on line. While secrets, on the other hand, harbor risks and are not in your best interest. In order to minimize your child's temptation to keep secrets, check your own motivation about the need to monitor. Are you seeking to be in control of your child, or are you seeking to help your child be in control?

Boston celebrated another team championship at home Saturday.
Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, who represent the Skating Club of Boston, defended their gold medal in the pairs competition of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships at TD Garden, all but locking them into one of the two spots on the Olympic team, which will be decided Sunday.
After winning Thursday's short, Castelli and Shnapir scored a third-best 132.58 long program for a combined 205.71, to edge out Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay (135.22/201.72) and free skate winners Caydee Denney and John Coughlin (136.03/201.43).
The committee will look at a wider resume of work in deciding who goes to Sochi.
"There was such depth in this competition," Shnapir said. "We're thrilled with the result, but it was a great job by everyone."
Although they hit two triple Salchows, Castelli and Shnapir, ages 23 and 26, failed on the quad throw Salchow.
Castelli said it was perfect in practice yesterday and it was the first time she fell all season. She also mentioned it was first done by Tiffany Vise, who represents the Coyotes Skating Club of Arizona. Plenty of Castelli's family also came up from Rhode Island and were sitting near the Kiss and Cry Area.
"We're in shock," Castelli said. "We're ready to do it again. The crowd was an amazing support."
It was a career-best for Denney and Coughlin at Nationals, surpassing the 128.82 they scored in winning the 2012 championship. Denney, 20, made it to the Olympics in 2010 as a 16 year old, with partner Jeremy Barrett, and Coughlin, 28, won the 2011 U.S. title with Caitlin Yankowskas, before they teamed up later that year. A hip injury for Coughlin knocked them out of this competition last year, but they were third in Paris and fourth in Skate America on the Grand Prix circuit this autumn.
"This is what we wanted to do, get U.S. Championships on our terms," Coughlin said. "It enhances everyone's legacy. Pairs is in good hands now….we felt that Olympic moment today."
Defending bronze medalists Zhang and Bartholomay, 20 and 24, finished seventh at Skate America and sixth in the Cup of China, so the selection committee will have its hands full in making its decision tonight.
"We felt like we didn't leave anything on the table," Bartholomay said. "We had so much passion. We are aware second place isn't locked in, but we gave it everything we had."
Alexia Scimeca and Christopher Knierim, silver medalists in 2013, finished fourth (189.67), while Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier, who is from Phoenix, placed fifth (181.59).

Date: Saturday, March 31, 2001
Time: 4:42 p.m. CST
Location: Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (46,000), Minneapolis, Minn.
Radio: Wildcat Radio Network (Brian Jeffries/Ryan Hansen)
TV: CBS (Jim Nantz/Billy Packer)
Game Data: Fifth-ranked Arizona (27-7, 15-3 Pac-10) earned the fourth Final Four appearance in school history as the Midwest Regional champion ... The No. 2 seed Wildcats face No. 1 seed and South Regional champion Michigan State (28-4, 13-3 Big Ten) in the National Semifinal ... Arizona has a 31-18 (.633) record its 20 tournament appearances ... Arizona is 14-3 this season against the 2001 NCAA Tournament field ... MSU is the second consecutive Big Ten Conference foe and No. 1 seed to face the Wildcats.
The Rankings: UA rose to No. 5 in the March 12 Associated Press poll and to No. 4 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll. Arizona opened the year as the nations top-ranked team in the media and coaches polls. Incidentally, UA has been ranked in the AP top 25 for 109 consecutive weeks, the longest active streak in the nation. The Cats have been ranked in 236 consecutive AP polls released during the regular season.
Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson . . . is in his 18th season at Arizona and his 28th overall as a head coach with a career record of 638-224 (.740) and 446-132 (.772)... He recorded his 600th career win and his 400th victory at Arizona last year and has the fourth most Pac-10 wins (250) in history, trailing UCLAs John Wooden (304, 1949-75), Oregon States Slats Gill (276, 1929-64) and Washingtons Hec Edmundson (266, 1921-47)... He has the second-best conference winning percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only Wooden (.810/304-74) ... During his 18-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship (1997), gone to four Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997, 2001), won nine Pac-10 Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 17 years in a row, which is the second-longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina, 27)... He also led Iowa to the 1980 Final Four... Olson has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88, 89, 93, 94, 98), the Big 10 Coach of the Year twice (1979 & 81) and directed the UA program to the nations best winning percentage over the past 13 years... In his collegiate career, he has produced 35 NBA Draft picks, including 20 at Arizona 15 alone in the 1990s... He has led Arizona to 14 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 23 overall in his career, making him one of only six head coaches in NCAA history to record 23 or more 20-win seasons... Under Olson, the Cats are 271-26 (.912) in McKale Center and have won 199 of its last 210 home games ... He is assisted by Jim Rosborough, Rodney Tention, Jay John and undergraduate assistant Josh Pastner. Olson is 36-21 in 22 career NCAA appearances, including a 29-15 mark at Arizona. He is 9-11 vs. Michigan State.
Last Time Out: The Wildcats won the Midwest Regional title at the free throw line as the team set NCAA Tournament records for free throws (43) and free throw attempts (56) in the 87-81 win. Gilbert Arenas, the Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player, scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half and Jason Gardner hit two key treys in the second half to lead the team to its fourth Final Four appearance. Six Illinois players fouled out in the game, which saw Arizona hit 16-of-21 FTs in the final three minutes.
Scouting Michigan State: The Spartans (28-4) come to Minneapolis having won 10 of its last 11 games. MSU is the nations top rebounding team, as it outrebounds the opposition by an average of +15.7 per game. Michigan State shoots 49 percent from the floor and averages 77.9 points per game, while holding the opposition to .389 shooting and 61.2 points. Four players average in double figures, led by Jason Richardsons 15.0 ppg average.
The Series: Saturdays National Semifinal is the fourth meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 3-0 series advantage. Arizona won the last meeting of the series, 79-68, in Tucson on Dec. 11, 1999. The two teams first met on Jan. 2, 1947. All-time, Arizona is 2-0 in series games played in Tucson, 1-0 in East Lansing and 0-0 in neutral-site games.
Last Meeting: Playing its third consecutive game against a top-10 opponent, No. 2 Arizona downed No. 5 Michigan State, 79-68, in McKale Center on Dec. 11, 1999. Arizona used a new starting lineup for the first time because Loren Woods was late getting to the arena after getting in a minor traffic accident on his way to the game. The Wildcats were undaunted however, as they raced out to a 31-15 lead just 12 minutes into the contest before the Spartans came back and cut the lead to just five (37-32) at the half. MSU tied the game at 59-59 with eight minutes left, but it would not get any closer after that, as Arizona scored eight straight points to help sway the momentum back to the UA side. The Cats would make 10-of-10 free throw attempts in the final four minutes to help seal the win. Jason Gardner scored 20 points to go with six rebounds, nine assists and two steals. Richard Jefferson was impressive as well, scoring 18 points, grabbing six boards and handing out six assists.
Final Four Facts: 2001 marks Arizonas fourth Final Four appearance in school history and the second in the second in the last five years. The Wildcats have a 2-2 record in three previous appearances and captured the 1997 National Championship. All told, the Cats have two West, one Southeast, and one Midwest Regional championships. The program has advanced to the Final Four twice as a No. 2 seed (1994, 2001), once as a No. 1 (1988) and once as a No. 4 (1997).
All-America: Arizona forward Michael Wright was named a third team All-American in voting released March 13 by the Associated Press. Wright, a 6-foot-7, 238-pound junior from Chicago, Ill., earned the honor after averaging 16.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while shooting .591 from the field in the regular season. He is the Pac-10 active leader with 33 double-doubles, and Wright is a finalist for both the Wooden and Naismith Player-of-the-Year Awards. He was a first team all-Pacific-10 Conference pick this year. Wright was also an Honorable Mention AP All-America selection last season.
Coming Home: Lute Olson will experience a homecoming of sorts this week. A native of Mayville, N.D. (262 miles northwest of Minneapolis), Olson was a three-sport athlete at Augsburg College in Minneapolis before graduating in 1956. His coaching career began with five years of prep experience in Minnesota before he headed west.
Father-Son Bonding: When Arizona sophomore Luke Walton makes his first appearance on the court in Minneapolis, he will join his father, Bill (UCLA 1972-74), as a Final Four participant and become part of a very select group in college basketball history. A quick perusal of the NCAA Final Four Records Book found only one other father-son Final Four combination: Marques (UCLA 1974-76) and Kris (UCLA 1995) Johnson. If anyone knows of other combinations, please notify a UA sports information representative.
On the Sidelines: Just how important is Lute Olsons presence on the sidelines to this team? Since Olson returned to the squad on Jan. 15, UA has been one of the nations hottest teams winning 17 of 19 games. Incidentally, Arizona won the last two games under Rosboroughs direction, making it 19 wins in the last 21 starts.
Select Company: The trio of Michael Wright (1,464 points), Loren Woods (1,155) and Gilbert Arenas (1,083) have each totaled 1,000 career points. It is the third time in school history that Arizona has had at least three active 1,000-point scorers on the same roster. Sean Elliott, Steve Kerr, Craig McMillan and Anthony Cook first accomplished the feat in 1988, while Miles Simon, Mike Bibby and Michael Dickerson matched it in 1998.
On Target: The Wildcats have found the range in the postseason, shooting a combined .507 percent (110-of-217) from the floor in the four wins. That is 2.8 percent higher than its season field goal percentage. Fifty-seven of the teams 110 postseason field goals have been either layups or dunks. On the season, Arizona is 13-0 when shooting 50 percent or better from the field.
Off Target: Arizona has held all four postseason opponents to less than 40 percent shooting from the floor. In those four NCAA Tournament games, UA opponents shot a cumulative .375 (93-of-248) percent from the field.
Balanced Attack: Despite a season-low 40 field goal attempts and 19 field goals in the regional final, Arizona placed four players in double figures for the fourth straight tournament game. The balance hasnt hurt the Wildcats productivity, as the team is averaging 81.8 points per game in the postseason and is the only club to have scored 100 points in this years NCAA Tournament.
Record-Setting Effort: The Wildcats set NCAA Tournament records with its 43 free throws and 56 free throws attempted in the regional final win over Illinois. The 43 free throws broke the previous record of 41, which was set twice, last by Navy vs. Syracuse in an East Regional second round game in 1986. The 56 attempts broke the previous mark of 55 set by UTEP vs. Tulsa in a West Regional first round game in 1985. Obviously, both marks are UA tournament records as well.
Reaching 1,000: Gilbert Arenas enters play today with 1,083 career points in less than two seasons. He became just the sixth player in school history to score 1,000 career points by the end of his sophomore season. Here are the others: 1. Coniel Popcorn Norman (1972-74) 1,194; 2. Bob Elliott (1973-75) 1,106; 3. Sean Elliott (1985-87) 1,077; 4. Mike Bibby (1996-98) 1,061; 5. Chris Mills* (1988-91) 1,004. *Mills scored 459 points as a freshman at the University of Kentucky in 1988-89 before transferring to Arizona.
In the Paint: Arizona has used its inside strength to great advantage in its last two wins. Through four games, 172 of the teams 327 points (.526) have been scored in the paint. In the NCAA Tournament, UA has a 172-96 advantage when it comes to points in the paint.
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of Wildcat success than the 80-point mark. This season, Arizona is 16-0 when scoring 80 points and 11-7 when it does not. Over the last three seasons, UA is 44-3 (.936) when scoring at least 80 points. Arizona is 19-4 (.826) in the NCAA Tournament when scoring 80 points since 1985.
Continuing his Climb: Michael Wright currently stands in 11th place on UA's career scoring list with 1,464 points. Just ahead of Wright in 10th place is Sean Rooks (1988-92) with 1,497 points.
Block Party: Loren Woods seven blocked shots vs. Illinois ranks as the fourth-highest total (tie) in NCAA Regional history. The record is nine by David Robinson (Navy) vs. Cleveland State in 1986. It was the second-highest total for Woods this season, ranking behind the 10 blocks vs. Washington on Jan. 13.
Top 10: By leading the Wildcats to the 2001 Final Four, Lute Olson is now tied for sixth place in NCAA Tournament history with five Final Four appearances. He is also one of just 11 coaches to have taken two different teams to the Final Four.
All-Tournament: Gilbert Arenas, Jason Gardner, Richard Jefferson and Loren Woods were each named to the all-Midwest Regional team. Arenas was named the regions Most Outstanding Player.
Bouncing Back: After getting outrebounded 19-13 in the first half vs. Illinois on March 25, Arizona responded by posting a 22-17 second half rebound advantage. Loren Woods led the way by grabbing all five of his rebounds in the second half.
M.O.P.: In earning Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player honors, Gilbert Arenas equaled an NCAA Tournament career high with 21 points and equaled a season high with four steals against Illinois. Incidentally, 18 of his 21 points came in the first half, matching a 2000-01 team high originally set Nov. 22 by Jason Gardner against Illinois.
Finding the Range: Bolstered by the strength of 55.6 percent shooting in the fist half and some sold defense, the Wildcats were able to outshoot Illinois 47.5-39.7 percent. How important is it for UA to outshoot its opponent? On the year, Arizona is 23-1 when accomplishing the feat.
Vs. The Big Ten: UAs win over Illinois improved the teams record against Big Ten foes to 2-2 this season. All-time, Arizona is 24-24 against the Big Ten Conference.
The Big House: In NCAA Tournament play, Arizona is 6-1 all-time in domed stadiums. The Cats have a pair of wins at the Kingdome in Seattle (1988 West Regional), two at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis (1997 Final Four) and two at the Alamodome (2001 Midwest Regional). The only defeat came in the 1991 West Regional Semifinal, an 81-77 loss to Seton Hall at the Kingdome.
Making Them Count: Jason Gardner may have hit the two biggest treys of the year in propelling the Cats to the Final Four. Eighteen seconds after Lucas Johnson gave Illinois its first lead of the second half, Gardner knocked down a trey with 10:48 remaining to give Arizona a two-point lead. At the 5:38 mark, Gardner hit a trey to give the Cats a 62-56 lead and followed it up with a steal and two free throws on the next possession to push the lead to eight.
In the Clutch: Arizona was 16-of-21 from the line in the final 3:00 vs. Illinois. Loren, who finished the game with a career-best 12-of-13 from the line, went 7-of-7 in that span to lead the way.
Rare Air: The 30,212 people in attendance at the Alamodome for the Midwest Regional Final witnessed the rarest of feats. Michael Wright failed to take a shot from the field. The All-American forward averages 9.26 shots per game for his career. His previous low of one field goal attempt came on Feb. 27, 1999, at Stanford.
Against the Best: UAs two wins vs. ranked opponents in the Midwest Regional raised the teams record this season to 7-4 against ranked teams. The Wildcats have won six of the last seven meetings against ranked opposition.
On the Defensive: Credit Richard Jefferson with another fine job of defense in the Regional Final. Jefferson drew the primary assignment on Illinois Frank Williams, the Big Ten Player of the Year, and limited him to nine points on 3-of-15 shooting. In the Regional Semifinal, Williams went for a career-high 30 points vs. Kansas. Efforts like that are nothing new to Jefferson, who has shut down some of the Pac-10s best scorers like Casey Jacobsen (Stanford), David Bluthenthal (USC) and Jason Kapono (UCLA).
Tournament Success: The senior trio of John Ash, Eugene Edgerson and Justin Wessel has quite a bit of NCAA tourney success under its collective belt. The last link to UAs 1997 National Championship team, the group is 14-3 in NCAA Tournament play.
Top Notch: When facing No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, Arizona has a 5-2 record. UA has won its last four games against No. 1 seeds dating back to 1997.
Olson Honors: UA head coach Lute Olson will be given the John R. Wooden Award Legends of Coaching award. The award was adopted by the Wooden Award Committee in 1999, and recognizes the lifetime achievement of coaches who exemplify Coach Woodens high standards of coaching success and personal achievement. Olson will be honored at the 25th annual John R. Wooden Awards program.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed five players to National Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period: Wil Bynum (5-10, 170, G, Chicago, Ill./Crane Tech Prep), Channing Frye (6-10, 230, C, Phoenix, Ariz./St. Marys H.S.), Isaiah Fox (6-9, 255, C, Santa Monica, Calif./Crossroads H.S.), Dennis Latimore (6-8, 230, F, Halsted, Kan./Halsted H.S.) and Salim Stoudamire (6-2, 175, G, Lake Oswego, Ore./Lake Oswego H.S.). It was ranked as the ninth-best recruiting class in the nation by Clark Francis Hoop Scoop magazine.
Farewell, Bobbi: A special memorial fund has been established in Bobbi Olson's name at the Arizona Cancer Center, where she had undergone treatment since her illness was diagnosed in June 1998.

The Ethnic Veggie Market
Not to mention, as a full-blooded Italian, I love to overhear older Italian couples bickering about which head of escarole smells fresher. "No stupido! Questo e piu fresco."
So naturally I think this next report is great. According to Associated Press, America's ethnic population is having significant influence on farmers. Causing more and more farmers to grow traditionally non-American produce. Janet Frankston Lorin reports:
The explosion of immigrant populations is fueling the growth of ethnic vegetables like cilantro and bok choy, giving farmers new, and potentially more profitable, revenue streams to add to their American staples of corn, sweet peppers and tomatoes. They'll have less competition for this narrow niche, crops that an ethnic population would have consumed in their home country, now growing in small quantities in the U.S.Anyone else adore those eggplants? I buy them every week.
"Cilantro is widely used almost everywhere today," said John Formisano, whose family has been farming for nearly a century. "When we first started, most people hadn't ever heard of it."
Today, the American public may not recognize Chinese eggplant's long, slender purple shape, or aji dulce — small, colorful sweet peppers — two vegetables commonly used in Asian and Hispanic cooking.
