You'll need to divorce your finances, too
Credit Cards in a Divorce

Credit Card Tips During a Divorce
Divorced Mom's Finance
Divorce is more than ending a marriage. It is also requires splitting up your finances, including credit card debt. No matter how emotional the divorce may be, dealing with the debt requires a solid plan and cool heads. It may also require a lawyer. Here are some credit card tips when going through a divorce:
- Start with an investigation of all accounts for both spouses. Get a copy of a credit report from all three agencies. Make a list of every open credit account and whether it is a joint or individual account.
- Close all joint accounts. Joint accounts are held by you and your spouse together, and both of you are equally responsible for the debt, regardless of how the debt is distributed in the divorce. If an account is left open, your ex-spouse can add more debt, make a late payment, miss a payment or default, and you will also be held responsible. The creditor reports account activity to the credit bureau in both of your names. This affects the personal credit score for both individuals. It will not only be costly for you, but can trigger a rate increase for all of your other credit accounts. When you close the account, notify the credit card company about the divorce with a certified letter. Ask them to provide a current account statement and tell them that you do not intend to be held liable for any debt accumulated after the date of the written letter. Request that they put the account on inactive status so no new additional charges may be added, and stipulate that once the balance is paid in full, the account is to be closed completely. Follow up with a phone call to your credit card issuer.
- Remove your spouse's name from each other's individual accounts. This will limit your responsibility for new debts from your spouse. If your spouse is an authorized user for any of your accounts, revoke the authorization. Send the request by certified mail.
- If at all possible, pay off all credit card debt before the divorce is final, even if you have to liquidate marital assets. If you don't have enough cash, think about dividing up the debt, transferring your share to your own cards, and then canceling the joint accounts. If paying off all the debt is impossible, then create a payment plan and make sure that you continue making payments on time, so you won't hurt your credit score and incur the late fees. Monitor your account each month to make sure your ex-spouse is also making the correct payment. Pay off your balance as quickly as possible.
- If the two of you can't reach an agreement on your own, hire a mediator or financial planner to help you come to a resolution.
- After the divorce is finalized, monitor your credit report to see if any errors or problems pop up from the joint credit you had during your marriage. You can get a free copy of each report once a year from AnnualCreditReport.com. Sign up for a credit monitoring service if you are concerned about identity fraud or the possibility of new joint accounts opened after the divorce.
- If you don't have a credit card in your name only, apply for one now. It may be easier to get a credit card in your name now than after the divorce.
- If you are the one who moves out, notify your credit card companies of your change of address. Submit a change of address card with the Postal Service.

The General Education Task Force is a group of faculty and administrators that is charged with developing and implementing general education assessment practices for the institution. Using rubrics that have been internally developed for each general education outcome at the college, the group facilitates the collection of student artifacts across curricula, scores them in a two-week session in June, and helps to prepare a report to the campus community on the status of general education, making recommendations for better implementation of assessment practices and procedures and for improvement of student outcomes.
Constituted in April 2014, the task force has the following charge: to develop and recommend a process for regular, cross-disciplinary, anonymous review of student artifacts as evidence of student learning outcomes (college-wide) for each of the college's educational objectives. The original charge was expanded in fall 2014 to include: review Queensborough's existing Educational Outcomes and recommend possible modifications to the Academic Senate.
Led by the Interim Vice President for Strategic Planning, Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness and the Learning Outcomes Assessment Manager, the task force members include the Dean for Accreditation, Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness, a faculty representative from each academic department recommended by department chair, one representative from the Academic Senate Curriculum Committee and one from the Senate Assessment Committee.
Summary of work so far:
Planned work for 2015-16:
General Education Mission Statement
The goals of a General Education are to help students develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and habits of mind needed to live as informed citizens of the world. As part of each student's program of study, core components of a General Education include broad knowledge across disciplines; analytical reasoning and critical thinking; effective skills in communication and collaboration; and ethical reasoning and intercultural awareness. The design and delivery of the General Education stimulates students to see connections and integrate learning across disciplines.
Guiding Principles for Developing or Revising General Education Outcomes
The General Education Assessment Task Force plans to review, revise, and develop Core Learning Outcomes expected of students who graduate from Queensborough with an associate degree. The Task Force is also developing rubrics that seek to measure components of these Outcomes in order to:
Intellectual skills:
Attitudes, Habits, and Responsibilities:
Outcomes must be stated in a way that allows measurement through examination of student work.

Once you have separated from the service you have 10 years to use all of your benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill and 15 years to use your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. Although separating from service "starts the clock" on your 10-year time limit, you should know that if you rejoin active-duty service for more than 90 days during the 10- year period, your 10-year clock is reset. In other words, you get 10 years from your last discharge.
Example: Seaman Smith left active duty and joined the Navy Reserve. Three years later she returned to active duty with seven years remaining on the MGIB clock. At that point, the clock is reset at the 10-year mark when she leaves the active duty service again, at which point the 10 year clock will start ticking again. She now has a fresh 10 years left to use ALL of her benefits or she will lose her remaining balance, which then returns to Uncle Sam.
The GI Bill is not considered Financial Aid in the traditional sense. College and University financial aid departments do not consider the GI Bill financial aid because it is normally paid directly to you, not the school. Most schools will require you to sign a promissory note or apply for student loans to pay them upfront. You will then be required to pay these loans - hopefully with your GI Bill payments.
This also means that you are eligible for student loans, scholarships, and Pell Grants along with the GI Bill.
Note: Although un-taxable, GI Bill benefit payments reduce the amount of student financial aid you are eligible to receive.
Unfortunately, many people believe that once you apply for benefits you have to remain enrolled in school to get the full benefit. Thankfully that's not true; you can use the GI Bill for any period of time. Take time off and re-apply to use it again at a later date (keeping in mind fact number one).
You can also use it as you progress towards your education goal. If you use your benefits wisely, your GI Bill benefits can help you finish your associates, work on your bachelor's, and later, complete your master's degree.
The GI Bill benefit provides 36 months of education benefits. The term "months" can often be confusing. The "36 months" of benefits does not mean you have only 36 months to use it, nor does it mean you must use it all in one 36 month period.
There are two ways the term month is used. One way is for active duty, and the other is used for veterans. The following should help you to better understand this aspect of the GI Bill.
For the Post-9/11 GI Bill:
If you go to classes full time for either 1 month or 30 days you use 1 month worth of benefits. For example, if your classes go from February 1 to March 15 you use 1.5 months of benefits (1 month for February - since it is a calendar month, and 1/2 month for March - since you were in classes for 15 days.)
For the Montgomery GI Bill:
If you are a veteran you are basically charged one month of entitlement for each month of full-time training you take.
If you are on active duty and you go to school full-time for four months, but your tuition is only $1,000, you will still be charged for four months of your 36 month entitlement. In this example a "month" actually does mean a month.
If you are using your GI Bill for training other than college or vocational training, there are different rules. See our Flight Training, Apprenticeship/On-the-Job Training, or National Testing Programs pages for specific information.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays according to several factors, the main factors being number of months served on active duty and the number of credit pursued. If you are attending a public school, the Post-9/11 GI Bill can pay your full tuition directly to the school. You will receive a monthly housing allowance and up to $1000 a year for books and supplies. The housing allowance is paid at a percentage based on your active duty service, and your credit load. See our Post-9/11 Overview page for detailed information.
The Montgomery GI Bill payment rates are based on several factors, the biggest being your credit load. For example a full-time student using the Montgomery GI Bill will get up to $1,789, while a half-time student will only get half that amount. Learn more about how GI Bill Payment Rates work.
You can apply for the GI Bill online by going to the VA's VONAPP website and completing an online application. For more details, see the Post-9/11 GI Bill Application Process and get started using your benefits today!

Focus on "Retiree Friendly" is among the seven areas under consideration for Sturgis 2022.
"Retiree Friendly" addresses the possibility of Sturgis becoming a destination city for retirees.
Within the next 20 years, the retiree population will become increasingly important to a community, planners say.
Within 10 years, that age group will be shopping for places to retire.
Communities that have the right mix of affordability, senior-friendly housing, transportation, atmosphere and services have the best chance to experience a population boom.
People who are making the change from working to retirement are looking for ways to control their costs. They want to live where it's affordable, with a good quality of life.
Today's retirees are also becoming more and more active. They want to live in an area that has a good atmosphere, services and amenities that will keep them engaged through retirement.
Natural resources such as lakes, rivers and forests are a plus, as are arts and culture attractions.
For an aging population, a community must become more of a one-stop shop, since travel may become more problematic for some.
Shopping must be convenient and health care readily available. Having a variety of commercial and service opportunities will be important.
Many retirees are attracted to a rural or small-town community, which offers a slower pace of life and a place where they can feel comfortable.

Heidi Montag has had her share of boy problems – so who better to lean on when you become a real-life runaway bride?
Crystal Harris, who called off her wedding to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, 85, just days before they were set to tie the knot Saturday, kept close company with the reality star this weekend in Las Vegas, where she attended a pool party.
Trading her Romona Keveza wedding gown for a leopard print cover-up, this month's Playboy cover girl, 25, partied with Montag, 24, at Sin City's Wet Republic on Saturday.

With colleges and universities under pressure from the government, students, and parents to make higher education more efficient and cost-effective, there is a pressing need for institutions to adopt a three-year bachelor's degree program. Based on Southern New Hampshire University's highly successful integrated, competency-based three-year bachelor's degree program--the longest running in the country--Saving Higher Education provides administrators a blueprint for creating, sustaining, and growing such a program at higher education institutions of all types and sizes. The book compares compressed and accelerated three-year degree programs with its integrated program to reveal how the model cuts student costs by 25 percent and significantly reduces program delivery costs to colleges and universities, saving schools and their students time, money, and resources without sacrificing learning. The 120-credit six-semester competency-based integrated curriculum approach focuses on student learning as opposed to "seat-time," and research shows above average academic student success. The book also addresses retention and graduation rates, student experiences, employer reactions, accreditation reviews, and achievement on standardized tests. The authors answer university leaders' frequently asked questions and debunk commonly held myths about three-year degree programs. They include handy forms that can be used for curriculum design, academic planning, and data collection.show more
Back cover copy
Praise for Saving Higher Education "At last a book that answers one of higher education's most burning questions: How do we provide America a cheaper, faster undergraduate experience without cheating on the old family recipe and compromising standards? At a time when challenges of college value, quality, and mission are high on the public agenda and an unprecedented number of institutions are exploring three-year degree programs, we are provided a road map that maintains academic integrity by focusing on learning outcomes rather than process inputs. Bravo and about time. This book will add value and inform the thinking of all stakeholders, even the most skeptical of faculty. A three-year baccalaureate aligns the academy with the needs and aspirations of the future. While enhancing effectiveness, it affords students what they want and need while meeting the national agenda for socially and economically productive citizens."--Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president emeritus and University Professor of Public Service, George Washington University "This book provides a powerful model of how to redesign a university in the interests of student learning. The authors' proposed curriculum model addresses many of the fundamental dysfunctions of higher education--the fragmentation, incoherence, and unfocused activity that produces the dispiriting results of our enormous investment. They offer an evidence-based framework for reshaping our institutions to serve the goals we all wish to achieve while beginning to address the pervasive financial challenges that undermine our efforts. This book provides a vivid and stimulating analysis of how to think about and execute constructive change. Anyone concerned about the future of higher education should read it and learn from it."--John Tagg, professor emeritus, Palomar College, and author, The Learning Paradigm College "This book offers one thoughtful approach to a high-quality education at a significantly lower cost. If educators respond, students will win." --Margaret L. Drugovich, president, Hartwick Collegeshow more
Review quote
While the central focus of the book is on the three-year baccalaureate degree, one of its major strengths is a highly focused, research-based discussion of innovative approaches to curriculum and program design. These innovations, such as competency-driven curricula, collaborative learning, and course management systems, hold promise for improving both efficiency and quality. For example, applying the technique shown in the book for identifying duplication among courses and treating curriculum as an interconnected system for facilitating the attainment of program competencies could likely bring significant benefits for many postsecondary institutions and their students. Owing to the strength of such contributions, this book would be of value not just to those who may be interested in the adoption of three-year baccalaureate degrees, but to others with broader interests in the reform of education in universities and colleges.

To the Editor.
—We enjoyed reading Dr Levy's1 Controversies on surrogate markers in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research and concur with much of his analysis. However, on a few occasions, he may have carried his argument too far. For instance, we agree that the relationship between low viral load and favorable clinical outcomes seen in studies of the natural history of disease does not necessarily imply that similar benefits will be achieved when viral load is reduced by medication. But there is no logical reason to conclude that "a beneficial clinical outcome cannot be expected unless drug therapies mimic the natural cellular immune responses that lower the viral RNA." No clinically effective antiviral drug does this. Nor is this desirable, since natural immune responses have proved incapable of neutralizing the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the long run.

On two blogs I use this for (blog.r3mg.com and blog.colleenhurleyrd.com), the word "tweet" is now showing up at the start of every blog entry and I have no idea why.
It just randomly started one day. Perhaps it's something that has a conflict with another plugin? Not sure, but it's really aggravating.
Thanks for the help with a solution to this.

Midtown Traffic to Maybe Get Somewhat Less Horrible
Bloomberg unveiled a new, futuristic system today.
Someday, sophisticated computer systems and "microwave sensors" will control every facet of our lives. But for now, they'll be managing traffic in midtown Manhattan as part of a $1.6 million project called Midtown in Motion, which will allow "Department of Transportation engineers to conduct real-time analysis and change signal patterns at the touch of a button, helping to alleviate congestion before it worsens." If it works in midtown the system will be deployed citywide, and hopefully the machines will not rebel and permanently set all the lights to red, or worse, green. [NYC.gov]

Reviews for Giant Steps Illinois Inc
Giant Steps has helped provide me with hope and a new passion to do something about autism. Although my autistic son is an adult, there is so much more for him and others afflicted with autism, to experience and achieve. I have personally witnessed the progress of the children enrolled in our school as they advance from grades K-12 and to age 22 when they (by state law) must move on. Although Giant Steps education for autistics is second to none in Illinois, our training for the greater community may have even more far reaching impact. The training of first responders, firemen, police, DCFS, stadium security, schools and many other organizations can change lives and prevent tragedies. I have never been more proud of an organization dedicated to helping the helpless. Relieving the sufferings of autistic children and their families is the greatest opportunity of all, to join in doing God's work.

December 01. 2012 6:00AM
Holy Cross coach Paul Pearl did not hold back when asked about last night's hard-fought 4-3 loss to Robert Morris at the Hart Center.
"You cannot got 0 for 7 on the power play and give up four goals and expect to win many college hockey games," Pearl said. "There are too many good teams to do that and expect to be successful."
With the loss, the Crusaders fell to 7-4-1 overall and 6-3-1 in Atlantic Hockey. Holy Cross will face Robert Morris (5-4, 4-3) again this afternoon at 3 at the Hart Center.
Cody Wydo had two goals, including what proved to be the winner with 8:59 to play, to lead Robert Morris. Zach Hervato added his ninth of the season while David Friedmann also scored for the Colonials.
Sophomore forward Tommy Dwyer paced Holy Cross with his first two goals of the year. Shayne Stockton added a goal while Mark Williamson had two assists.
The Crusaders never led despite the seven power plays and a 36-24 shot advantage. Pearl noted that many of those shots came from the outside with little traffic in front of RMU goalie Eric Levine, who finished with 33 saves — including 14 in the third period.
As solid as Levine played, Pearl did not feel his team put enough pressure on and around the Colonials' goalie.
"We were just too passive on the power play," he said. "We were all too happy to keep the puck on the outside, which isn't good. It will be an area of focus (preparing for today's game)."
HC trailed, 3-2, heading into the third, but carried momentum after Dwyer scored a beautiful goal late in the second. The Crusaders had a few good chances in the first 10 minutes of the third to tie the game, but Levine made every stop — including a post-to-post save on Rob Linsmayer in the opening minute and a pad save on Kyle Fletcher's backhand with 9:30 to play.
Moments later, the Colonials rewarded their goaltender by adding an insurance goal. Adam Brace won a draw and the puck made its way to Wydo, who fired a shot that beat Matt Ginn (20 saves) for a 4-2 lead with 8:59 left.
"We played a strong third period, but that goal hurt," Pearl said. "Any goal off a faceoff is one you'd love to have back. Faceoffs will be another point of emphasis for us (today)."
Though the Crusaders were unable to convert on an immediate power play, they did pull to within 4-3 on Dwyer's second goal, a wrister from the top of the left circle, with exactly five minutes to play.
Though the Crusaders controlled most of the final five minutes, they were unable to put any real pressure on Levine, with all the shots in the final minutes coming from outside.
"He's too good of a goalie to expect to score on those outside shots, especially with no traffic," Pearl said. "Hopefully, we play with the same intensity (today), but smarter."

Anatomical landmarks, front view
There are three body views (front, back and side) that may be helpful if you are uncertain of a body area. Many areas are referred to by both descriptive and technical names. For example, the back of the knee is called the popliteal fossa. However, areas like the "flank" may not have both names, so the location may be unclear.

The arrest in London last October of Chile's aging former dictator, Augusto Pinochet, has, if nothing else, revealed some disturbing political fault lines that reach around the globe and even criss-cross the Vatican.
The eighty-three-year-old senator-for-life endures house arrest in a posh English country home awaiting the outcome of extradition hearings that may land him in a courtroom in Spain. Meanwhile, lawyers, activists, politicians, cardinals, and even the pope are arguing over his fate as well as related issues of national sovereignty and impunity for human-rights abusers.
In mid-January, I returned to one of the epicenters of this quake: Santiago, Chile. Under a gritty, gray sky, in the heart of the downtown shopping district, only blocks away from the site of Pinochet's bloody 1973 coup d'état, I walked alongside a demonstration organized by the Families of the Detained-Disappeared. Faces were familiar to me from the years I had served in Chile as a Maryknoll missioner. The protesters, mostly women, carried pictures of loved ones on placards with the words, "Where are they?" Even under civilian rule their question has not been answered satisfactorily. As they marched, they shouted their support for the Spanish judge who is trying to bring Pinochet to justice. They also demanded an end to impunity.
I have long considered the Families of the Detained-Disappeared the conscience of Chile....

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky
Installment two of Sunday Monster Mailbag takes us to Indianapolis.
Matt in Indy: Peyton'll start against the Bears, right? I keep having visions of Jim Sorgi running through the tunnel on Sept. 7th and I get a bit queasy. Also, to the Jags fan who is whining about the coverage their team sees: maybe if the Jags, I don't know, won their division and were located in a town people have heard of (and yes, I'm saying that from amongst the cornfields of Central Indiana) people outside of Northern Florida might care about their kitty cats.
Paul Kuharsky: Drop the Rolaids. With no setback, he starts, yes.
Jason in Palm Springs writes: Do you think that the Colts injured players can return to Pro Bowl/Super Bowl form? Early in his career Manning had what some called happy feet (that usually ended in poor plays) as the pressure was increased, will this happen again now that the knee surgery will be in the back of his mind? Dungy's theory of smaller faster defense has shown that durability can be a problem. Do you think that Sanders and Freeney will be able to stay healthy while still being as aggressive as they are thought to be.
Paul Kuharsky: I know I should probably be more cynical. But yes, I think Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney and Bob Sanders will all play well again.
I watched Harrison practice on two different trips to Terre Haute and thought he was impressive. I'd worry most about him over the long haul, however.
Sanders and Freeney are not able to play with any less intensity, nor could they resemble themselves if they tried.
I don't think there is any question about Manning once he's completely over this. The big concern with Manning now is with the loss of Saturday. Check out this excellent blog entry from Scouts Inc. on some issues he might face in a game with the knee.
Sergiu in Edmonton writes: How did the new speakers look in the Lucas Oil Stadium? High-quality artificial crowd noise will be coming out of them once the season starts.
Paul Kuharsky: Good one. Hard to gauge noise at a preseason game. And the press box is enclosed.
Peter in Boston writes: Hey Paul, Is there a chance Addai and the Indy run game is going to struggle with the offensive line problems they have? I feel like they didn't run the ball well at the end of last season. Your thoughts?
Paul Kuharsky: The focus has obviously been on protecting Peyton Manning after the knee injury. But getting a real read on anything with the Colts in the preseason is hard based on how they approach the games. We'll have to see if run blocking is an early issue with all the shuffling. The way they plug people in, I won't be surprised if they manage just fine. Scouts hit on the line issue as well.
James from parts unknown writes: Hey Paul, I'm not an Indy fan really at all. What I want to know concerns Peyton's legacy. Everyone who pays attention knows that his consecutive start streak is really important to him. Could you see Manning coming in week one for just a series or two to keep the streak alive then handing over the reigns to Sorgi for the rest of the Game? Brett did it a couple of times a few years ago when he had that thumb problem...I think. Would this surprise you at all and do you think the organization would go for that kind of thing?
Paul Kuharsky: I don't think he would ever consider starting just for the streak. I do expect he'll be healthy enough to start and preserve the streak for the right reasons.
Mark in Indianapolis writes: Paul, I think the AFC South is the most exciting division in football. All of the teams are great, in their own unique ways. A few years ago, this was hardly the case. The superstar Colts were alone in a notoriously under performing division, a little like the Patriots of last year. My question is, how much do you think having a strong team like the Colts in the division while other teams developed contributed to how great they are now, the Jaguars in particular? One reason coaches like to sign great receivers, for example, is because they make all the defensive backs on the team better in practice. How well does this analogy translate into intra-division play? Thanks, and keep up the great
Paul Kuharsky: Appreciate the kind words.
Great question. I address it in an upcoming column -- I go head to head with John Clayton on AFC South vs. NFC East. I'll spoil part of the surprise -- I've got the AFC South. Please look for it.

News The Children Are Our Future
posted by March 30 at 13:39 PMon
From the PI:
Two 12-year-old girls have been arrested for allegedly trying to poison their teacher on Thursday afternoon, police said. Bainbridge Police Deputy Chief Mark Duncan said the two girls did not want to attend the teacher's class at Sakai Intermediate School….
Duncan said the girls knew the teacher was highly allergic to strawberries, so they put strawberry lip gloss in the teacher's coffee and water bottle. The 58-year-old teacher drank from the cup and immediately had an allergic reaction that required medication to counteract.
"These students actually [discussed] whether they should use real strawberries or synthetic, and decided that if they used real strawberries that that might kill the teacher," Duncan said. "They just wanted to make here sick."

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Bill Shishima shares how he joined the Boy Scouts as a 12-year-old behind the barbed wire of a Japanese American internment camp, or how he had to work on a rabbit farm to earn his keep when his parents couldn't afford to move the family back to California after World War II.
The 81-year-old retired teacher answers the questions of those who ask — school groups, news reporters and sometimes his children and 14-year-old granddaughter — but he's never sat down and recorded his life story or that of his now-deceased parents, who lost the family's grocery and hotel business when they were sent to Wyoming's Heart Mountain camp.
"They just endured," he said. "My parents never talked about it."
Like many survivors, Shishima is now being asked to write down his memories with thousands of others before they're lost to time.
Seventy years after the U.S. government uprooted more than 110,000 people and shipped them off to remote, military-style camps, the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles has started a three-year project aimed at recruiting survivors and their descendants to share their stories and photos on a website poised to become a snapshot of history.
To this day, it is difficult for Japanese Americans to reconcile how the only country they knew, and a democratic one, could incarcerate them because of their ancestry. Many say it is vital to remember the order that forced people from their homes as the country waged war with Japan to prevent others in America from ever suffering the same fate.
Numerous efforts have recorded in-depth oral histories about internees' experiences. But many Japanese Americans have been reluctant to come forward because they don't recall the details of camp life or don't feel like their everyday lives there carry historical weight. Still others find talking about the past too painful, experts said.
"The last of the survivors are dying," said Chris Komai, a spokesman for the museum. "It is about trying to make this last push before everybody's gone."
More than 40 years after the war, the U.S. government issued a formal apology for the wartime camps with the signing of a law that included restitution for former internees.
In recent decades, there has been a broad effort to preserve survivors' stories for future generations. In Seattle, the nonprofit organization Densho has videotaped more than 600 oral histories of former internees since its start 16 years ago. In Hawaii, Oregon and Illinois, groups have been doing similar work.
"Every region has an organization — or organizations — who is trying to do this," said Tom Ikeda, Densho's executive director. "A lot of collecting is going on and has been going on and there are these amazing collections but not many people know about them. With the emergence of technology, we can now make these things much more accessible."
The Los Angeles museum — which opened in 1992 in the city's Little Tokyo neighborhood — also has roughly 300 oral histories on file. But they have not been digitized, and while used by scholars, they aren't easily accessible to the public, Komai said.
That's another reason museum leaders started the Remembrance Project, hoping the tech-savvy children and grandchildren of internees will log their stories online so they can be shared more easily. The stories don't have to be long or detailed or even written by camp survivors themselves, in contrast to more formal accounts, he said.
"The main point is we pay tribute so that we never forget," said George Takei, the actor who played Hikaru Sulu in the television series "Star Trek" and a museum trustee.

Since I was a child I have always had pets and this memorial is for ALL of them. My MUGGINS was the last to depart for the bridge and he is memorialized at a separate location. My pets start in 1945 and go through the present. Oh for the day when we will all be together again. I do animal rescue as KC Rescue of which I am the President and founder and even though many of my pets are at the Bridge I also have kept many animals from going there prematurely. I will rescue until I too go to the Bridge. www.carlnylund.com
05/11/09 Hey kids, sorry I haven't written here before but that doesn't mean I haven't thought of all of you often. MUGGINS got me into rescue and I've been pretty busy. Play nice and have fun and watch from the Bridge.
04/19/10 Hey Katie Lady, it is so sad here at home since you left us on the 7th after being here for over 15 years. My Brave Katie who fearlessly took on an adult Deer just as fearlessly took on Death and lost. We both knew that the day had come and as I watched you quietly slip away I prayed that you would feel no pain. Your breathing slowed and then stopped as your eyes closed and you took flight and my prayers had been answered. Such an active girl to have been a paraplegic for the last year you are now running and jumping and again playing with MUGGINS. Good girl Katie and hey to all the rest of you babies.
03/25/13 Sorry again kids that I haven't dropped by as often as I should but still busy saving lives. Since I last wrote here you have been joined by Puppylo', Mountain and Buppity and I love and miss you all very much. It seems that I stop by and see MUGGINS more often but I know you are all together so in my mind no matter where I go you are all hearing my words. I currently have 4 more fur kids with me here, Apollo, Dollie, Emma Rose and June Bug. I'll be back later to talk and hopefully it will always be good news. Love ya ALL.

Thanks for the information all.
Hello - I am close on making a DV decision for a new sunroom. I am leaning towards the HeatnGlo SL 750 TRS-IPI-D. I don't need a slim line, but this unit seemed to fit the bill otherwise.
Thanks for the feedback.
I will see if the pipes can be re-routed to a different spot. If not, I will extend both and insulate the exhause per the manual.
Any other does, dont's, or tips would...
I am planning to add a deck over where my air intake and exhaust vents are currently located.
I was wondering if I could leave the air intake under the deck and extend the exhaust vent to the end...

Lifts a motorcycle or sport bike via the triple tree pin system. An interchangeable pin locks in the top with a spring clip, the stand rolls and pivots into place, and allows one person to lift the motorcycle front end up with a single handle. The center supports have a 180° pivot point for optimal configuration during use.
The Black Widow Motorcycle Race Stand is an innovative way of lifting a motorcycle front end for wheel changes, fork maintenance, and off season storage. The top portion of the motorcycle race stand pivots on a 180° center point for positioning the stand into place and to fit a variety of motorcycle frames. An interchangeable pin locking system on the end of a 12-3/4" arm top-end, allows different motorcycle pins to be held into place with a spring clip. The motorcycle race stand then lifts from the motorcycle pin in the triple tree as the main, and only point of weight contact. Weight is then distributed evenly throughout the uniquely designed motorcycle race stand frame and dual 7-1/4"L gusset, providing optimal stability during maintenance and storage. Each motorcycle race stand includes 5 triple tree pins, sized: 0.507" (13mm), 0.588" (15mm), 0.645" (16.5mm), 0.668 "(17mm) and 0.704" (18mm).
The 12-1/2" wide tire area is complimented with four high traffic grade, 3" rubberized castor wheels allowing the entire black powder coat Motorcycle Race Stand to be maneuvered and tilted while lifting a motorcycle into place with an 8-1/2" handle. In the middle of the motorcycle race stand frame are two pivoting supports that provide optimal versatility for each motorcycle lift. The Black Widow Motorcycle Race stand is assembled in 3 easy steps, andweighs 14 lbs. While it is designed for single person operation, a second person is strongly recommended for the safest handling of your motorcycle. Comes with a one year manufacturer's warranty.
Please Note: These universal motorcycle stands are designed to work with a variety of motorcycles. However, the motorcycle stands will not work with every make and model, nor does DiscountRamps.com necessarily maintain a complete database of that information. To ensure correct size and compatibility, please measure the diameter of the hole in the frame, then compare to the stand pin sizes listed.
Delivered promptly, easy assembly, well packaged, sturdy construction, easily lifts bike. The only issue I have is that my adventure bike has a high fender and the stand interferes with it slightly, but since the fender is plastic and flexible the lift still works ok.
I bought this 4 years ago and it still works just fine on my 2007 Yamaha R6. I used it to rebuild the front forks and i use it to keep pressure off the front forks and tires when the bike is not used. Great build and great price.

New Zealand's men's Black Sticks hockey team will have a
tough quarter-final ahead of them at the Champion's Trophy in
Melbourne after they were held to a 1-1 draw with England in
their final pool game this afternoon.
The Colin Batch-coached outfit were in dire need of a victory
having dropped their opening two Pool A encounters against
Germany (3-2) and India (4-2) earlier in the week.
But despite a late rally the Black Sticks were unable to find
a winner and the result meant they finished pool play as the
fourth seed and will meet the No 1-ranked side from Pool B in
the knockout stages.
Pool B is tightly contested with Australia, Pakistan and the
Netherlands all in with a chance of claiming top spot pending
the result of their final pool game.
New Zealand had to come from behind this afternoon after an
early defensive lapse saw goalkeeper Hamish McGregor caught
out of position and England's Mark Gleghorne took advantage
as he put his team in front early in the first half.
After absorbing plenty of English pressure the Black Sticks
eventually worked their way back in to the game and won a
couple of penalty corners late in the first spell but they
were unable to convert their chances.
After their early worries the New Zealanders also managed to
add some steel to their defence as they kept the English
attackers largely in check.
As the game progressed the Black Sticks managed to assert a
level of dominance on the contest but struggled to find the
elusive last touch.
Wellington striker Stephen Jenness started the game from the
bench with a hand injury and he appeared to play through the
pain as he had a glove on his hand.
Jenness managed to turn provider with only seven minutes left
in the contest as he laid on a ball for veteran Phil Burrows
who found the back of the net to draw the sides level.
New Zealand surged in the final few minutes but were unable
to find a winner.
New Zealand's quarter-final will be played on Thursday.
England 1 (Mark Gleghorne 11) New Zealand 1
(Phil Burrows 63) HT: 1-0

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Continuing with our annual "Looking Forward, Looking Back" feature for our big fifth anniversary, we asked various comics folks what they liked in 2013, what they're looking forward to in 2014, and what projects they have planned for the coming year. In this edition, hear from Tim Seeley, Amy Reeder, Pat Aulisio, Andy Hirsch, David Gallaher, Amanda Meadows and Geoffrey Golden, Joey Weiser, Ian Brill, Philip Gelatt and Dave Dwonch!
Check out part one here, and don't forget to come back Tuesday to read more!
Have you ever played video games so much that you think you're in one? In May, a new comic series from Action Lab called Double Jumpers follow a group of friends who get stuck inside their characters in a video game, and see those characters take over their human bodies.
Coming from writer Dave Dwonch and artist Bill Blankenship, Double Jumpers promises a mature readers-only take on this video game switcheroo. The people at the center of it are a group of programmers marooned in their video game identities while on a trip to a huge convention in Las Vegas. As much fun and intrigue the hijinks inside their video game might be, it's only doubled when you think about video game personas coming to life inside a convention.
Action Lab also plans to release the comic simultaneously in print and digitally on Graphicly, Kindle, Kobo, Nook, the Apple Bookstore, Google books as well as other outlets.
Here's a six-page preview of this four-issue limited series set to debut in May.
Mention the word "Crisis" to a comics fan and the next thing that springs to mind is time-traveling, continuity-bending, cape-wearing antics on an epic scale. But what if it's all sent in an economy-size flat?
In Action Lab's Space-Time Condominium, writer/artist Dave Dwonch pairs Crisis On Infinite Earths with Three's Company as one man tries to live with four alternate reality versions of himself. With a mysterious figure known only as the Gatekeeper pulling the strings like some sort of Anti-Monitor version of Mr. Roper, this guy — Griffin Griffins — has to deal with four more Griffin Griffins. (Four Griffinses?)
The upstart company Action Lab is releasing this as a limited edition book, with all 500 copies hand-numbered and signed by Dwonch. It's the latest in the publisher's "Signature Series" showcasing up-and-coming talent with their first major work on comic shelves.

LAS VEGAS -- The line of people hoping for an autograph from Richard Petty at the Las Vegas Convention Center is overwhelming. The King seems just as popular now with car enthusiasts attending the SEMA Show as he was 34 years ago while owning NASCAR's premier series with four titles and 67 victories in a five-year span.
Petty never experienced the so-called fan hatred that Jimmie Johnson, on the brink of an unprecedented fourth-straight championship, has during his most dominating seasons. He never was made to feel like his overwhelming success stunk up the show or ruined the sport as Johnson has been.
So I asked why?
"A different society," said the man wearing his signature cowboy hat and dark sunglasses.
Well that explains it. No, really, it does.
Drivers during Petty's era were considered heroes. They could do things with a car that ordinary people couldn't, risking life and limb every time they climbed behind the wheel. Most of them endured incredibly hard times to reach their level of stardom.
They also represented the working-class man and woman. They drove from track to track in pickup trucks with their cars hitched to a trailer. They didn't own fancy jets or spend the weekend in motor coaches that cost more than many fans' homes.
Today's drivers, even the ones that endured hard times to get here, live a life most Americans can't relate to with jets and helicopters and celebrity friends. They drive machines that seemingly are indestructible and all look the same.
They still are heroes, but the larger-than-life image isn't quite the same.
Neither are the fans.
"Society has changed in terms of respect," Petty said. "Nobody respects things like they used to. Nobody. Even us old people."
Petty makes a good point, but in the interest of fair play, I sought the advice of others. I turned to the fans, asking why they can't embrace and appreciate the history that Johnson is about to achieve.
The response supported much of what Petty philosophized, but it went much deeper. It's not so much that fans hate Johnson and that he dominates. They hate what he represents.
As Jason explained, Johnson embodies everything he believes NASCAR chairman Brian France wants the sport to be: clean-cut with drivers who thank their sponsors and speak no ill will toward anyone "even if someone punched their grandmother."
Johnson is a lightning rod for those who hate the Chase, and his dominance of the 10-race playoff makes him a "natural target for anyone and everyone that has a beef with the flawed Chase system."
"Johnson is the physical embodiment of NASCAR's larger problems," Jason said. "His success makes him the face of the sport and so all of NASCAR's problems are cast upon him [fairly or unfairly].
"I know NASCAR claims the racing is more exciting than ever and stats prove this to a degree. Yes, the on-track performance is better but there is a major component missing: personalities."
Jason referred to the Darrell Waltrips and Cale Yarboroughs who were as legendary for the things they did and said off the track as they were for things they did on the track. He's got a point. Many credit the donnybrook between Yarborough and the Allison brothers following the 1979 Daytona 500 as the catalyst for taking the sport nationally.
"Yeah, the on-track stuff was boring and cumbersome back in the '70s and '80s, but there was no shortage of excitement with guys like Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarborough," Jason said. "But Johnson? I watched him on 'The Tonight Show' recently and he honestly was one of the most boring guests ever.
"People see that and how NASCAR seems to push him as their poster child. They see that and just take all their frustration with NASCAR out on the 48. So in short, he's a product of Brian France and NASCAR."
That's not entirely fair to Johnson. He is funny and engaging. He's far from vanilla, as many proclaim. Vanilla guys don't surf on the top of golf carts, or fall off of them and break their wrists.
"It's not Jimmie's fault," wrote another fan, Dave. "He's a product of the current NASCAR system. The way NASCAR penalizes drivers for showing emotion, the 10-race season that is the Chase, etc. Johnson is just the embodiment of that.
"I don't blame him and [crew chief Chad] Knaus for taking full advantage of the flawed Chase. I blame NASCAR."
And not all fans hate Johnson. As Scott said, "Hate is a strong word."
"I'm just bored with his dominance, which is in a way kind of a sideways comment," he wrote. "I don't think I can ever remember a time when Jimmie had a sound bite that was worthy of replay on 'SportsCenter' because he just doesn't seem to rock the boat.
"He seems robotic in how he approaches racing. He's obviously a great driver, but it helps that he's got a genius of some sort with him [in Chad] that has found some way to make this car work that no one else has."
Many I spoke with at the SEMA Show echoed these thoughts, but to be completely thorough I sought the thoughts of a sports psychologist. A member of the University of Nebraska athletic staff, Jack Stark has worked with professional athletes in all sports, including NASCAR.
He also has performed studies of fans, so he is somewhat of an expert on this subject. In essence, he agrees with Petty that as society has changed, so have fans. He says it goes all the way back to Shakespeare when it was about good versus evil, but Stark narrowed the real change to 20-25 years ago.
Some of it, Stark says, has to do with the media. Fans are exposed to so much more than they were in the past when many of the negative things their heroes did never saw the light of day.
Some of it, he says, has to do with the economy, with the split between the working middle class and the upper class becoming wider than ever.
"You want to see people that struggle and stuff do well," Stark said. "It seems like the same people get good things over and over. The rich get all the good stuff and the have-nots don't."
In other words, there are 48 Haters for the same reason there are the Hated Yankees.
"The Yankees are dominating, so people don't want to like them," Stark said. "The darn thing about those guys [Johnson's team] is they're so good they make it look easy. But they really work hard and this couldn't happen to a classier guy than Jimmie Johnson."
Unfortunately, the fans don't see the Johnson who grew up with little and struggled in lower series. They see the Johnson who stepped into great equipment at Hendrick Motorsports in 2002 and seemingly had the best of everything given to him.
As 381whyman wrote, "We don't hate Jimmie. We think he gets too much credit. His cars are better. Chad K. is the best by far."
This person went on to say he really hates Kurt Busch, but that's another story.
The bottom line, Stark surmised, is fans are fickle and always will complain.
"What happens is no matter who you are and what you do you're going to have some detractors," he said. "Sometimes it's from the smaller minority, but the smaller minority can be really vocal and seem like it's bigger than it is."
That's how Johnson believes and hopes it is. He reminds you his souvenir sales and fan base have risen steadily over the past few years and that there was a big spike after last season's championship run.
He also reminds you that he's been in the sport only eight years and wonders where the popularity of past stars such as Petty, Yarborough and even Dale Earnhardt was at the same point.
"I would love to have the largest fan base and other aspects of what other drivers have, but man, I'm really happy with what's gone on in my life," he said. "I'm very thankful for the solid fan base that I have and I think popularity is changing big-time."
There are a lot of people pulling against him. I hear it every day. I don't know why that's happening here. Jimmie is a fine fellow. I say if he can do it, then let him do it."
"-- Cale Yarborough
Teammate Jeff Gordon felt the same way when he dominated, winning three of four titles between 1995 and '98.
"I was loving it," the four-time champion said. "And it didn't matter to me what other people thought."
But Gordon wasn't hated just because he won. He was hated because he took wins and titles away from Earnhardt, whose popularity was at an all-time high.
He had a rival, so the fans were divided. Nobody has been good enough to give Johnson a consistent rival, so he gets ganged up on.
"The more you dominate, the more they divide and that's only a good thing for this sport, as well as for Jimmie," Gordon said.
Maybe he's right. Yarborough had plenty of rivals when he dominated with three consecutive titles (1976-78) and he never felt the hatred he's seen with Johnson.
"There are a lot of people pulling against him," Yarborough said. "I hear it every day. I don't know why that's happening here. Jimmie is a fine fellow. I say if he can do it, then let him do it."
Jeff Burton, who is somewhat of a resident psychologist for Cup drivers, said it best a few weeks ago in Charlotte.
"You never get your just due in the era that you're in," he said. "It's always appreciated more later because the people you are racing against, the people you are competing against, don't want to give it to you.
"They will look back on it later with much greater perspective and a much broader view."
They also will be from, as Petty says, a different society. Who knows what that will create?

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article
