Did you know more than one million African Americans served in World War II?
This despite the rampant racism and segregation of the 1940s. Unfortunately, records and accounts of their service is hard to come by.
But now, Florida State University is launching Operation Recognition and Remembrance.
Archivists at the FSU Institute on World War II say their collection has grown by leaps and bounds since it was founded in 1997.
But what concerns Denman and FSU graduate student Corey Gray is the absence of stories involving African Americans.
Although blacks made up 10 percent of the military, the school's impressive collection doesn't show it. And considering even the military was segregated until the late 40's, Gray finds their contributions even more inspiring
The institute is seeking letters, photos or anything that can complete the picture.
If you have something to share with FSU's Institute on World War II, here's the number to call: 850-644-9033.

Russian woman keeps hold of dead husband's body
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 7:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 7:40 a.m.
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian authorities say a woman with five children kept her husband's body in their apartment for almost three years after his death.
Prosecutors in the central Yaroslavl region said the unidentified woman, described as a devout Pentecostal Christian with a psychiatric record, was so distraught when her husband died of natural causes in 2009 that she believed he "was bound to resurrect."
An investigation was opened after the body was found in a dumpster in a plastic bag in July.
The prosecutors' office said Monday that the woman kept the cadaver in a bed in a room of her apartment and asked her children to talk to it and feed it.
The office says two children decided to dispose of the body when the family moved to another apartment.

International Studies Abroad ®est. 1987
As one of the founding members of the European Union and also the home to the EU, Belgium holds a very important international seat in Western Europe. It is a tri-lingual country with different regions speaking French, Dutch and German. The capital, Brussels, is officially a bilingual city, conducting business and daily life in both French and Dutch.
Belgium gained independence from the Netherlands in 1830 but still holds close ties to both the Netherlands and France, making it a truly unique country. The Dutch mostly reside in the northern part of the country in the region of Flanders and the French reside in the southern part, called Wallonia.
Apart from Brussels, Belgium is known for the beautiful and touristic medieval cities such as Bruges and Ghent, the diamond capital of Europe in Antwerp and the gorgeous countryside in the southern region of Wallonia, with its rolling fields and picture perfect little houses.
Being a geographically small country with a great location, studying abroad in Belgium makes for the perfect jumping off point to explore other major European cities and tourist destinations just a short distance away.
Central Europe, bordered by France, Germany, Holland, and Luxembourg as well as the Atlantic Ocean.
Belgium has a generally mild climate most of the year. Layering clothing is helpful because it rains often, making the air feel colder than it really is. Winters can bring in strong winds and summers are never very hot but warm and comfortable with nice long days.
For over twenty-five years, International Studies Abroad (ISA) has provided college students in the United States and Canada the opportunity to explore the world.
ISA offers a wide variety of study abroad programs at accredited schools and universities in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, England, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, New Zealand, Peru, Scotland, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, and Thailand

It's hard to imagine the courage it took for Audrie Pott's parents to call a news conference Monday and describe their daughter, the pain she faced in the aftermath of an alleged sexual attack last September and their own struggle to cope with her suicide.
Whatever the outcome of court cases, the family has done a great service to this community and to the nation. Bringing Audrie's beautiful face and tragic story out of the shadows, they force the rest of us to confront behavioral trends that should unnerve parents of girls and boys everywhere.
Audrie suffered mightily. The pain she endured in the days following that alcohol-fueled party are stark evidence of a culture that still, inexplicably, blames victims for sexual assault.
The details of the attack and the bullying and intimidation Audrie faced are unclear.
But it appears that a photograph of her body -- partially nude and scribbled, essentially, with graffiti -- was shared at least with about 10 people.
Whether it was 10 people or 1,000 doesn't matter. Audrie believed that her body, her privacy, her very being had been violated, and that the whole world was smirking at the evidence. Thanks to her parents, we know precisely what that belief did to her.
"I'm in hell," Audrie wrote on Facebook. "The whole school is talking about it." And, "My life is ruined. I can't do anything to fix it."
This 15-year-old was so intoxicated she couldn't remember what happened that night. She was so ashamed, she felt the only answer was to take her own life.
We don't vilify burglary victims who leave their windows open, or murder victims who walk down dark streets. But young women like Audrie too often face what's popularly called "slut-shaming" in the wake of sexual attacks.
The Palo Alto High School magazine Verde bravely tackled this topic this week, interviewing rape victims about the bullying and intimidation they faced afterward. This is not rare. It is endemic to our culture. Texting and social media have made it easier and, as Audrie doubtless knew, less likely to quickly fade in memory. The boys accused of assaulting her are not charged with rape, but her emotional pain could hardly have been worse.
Audrie's parents say they will press for legislation to address aspects of this case, including bullying, and we look forward to their proposals. But laws alone can't change a culture that, on some level, holds women and girls responsible for whatever happens if they let down their guard and that sometimes even sympathizes with those who take advantage of them.
That's why what Audrie's parents did this week is so important.
Their openness about her pain can help to dispel some of the stigma she felt and, we hope, will inspire families to talk about the lessons of her life and death.
Among the most important: People don't feel ashamed of things that society doesn't find shameful. It's up to all of us to change cultural attitudes toward sexual assault.

Kind regards to all,
First - Awsome Program - I have done more in one hour then i don't know how long with T#$si#y.
My queston is about how to force transcoding under the default file listing - not under the transcoding directory.
I have a few files that play fine with Mencoder transcoding but are not identified as requiering such. I suspect I would have to identify them under Transcoding> Mencoder >expert settings as identified in the Readme file under Usage> Navigation / Transcode etc - Even with the examples I am not quite there.
The program is only the default install on a very clean XP box that I use as my home server.
Again Kind regards to all,
With greatest thanks for FTA HD recording to server (Nfusion) and playing back on PS3 . Wife is now a little more appreciative of cronic IT / FTA habit because it is simple enough to show of to her girlfriends

"Michigan needs to live within its' means, there needs to be value for money with measurements." Governor RIck Snyder - February 7, 2013
On Thursday, February 7, 2013 Gov. Rick Snyder, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley and State Budget Officer John Nixon will present 2014 budget recommendations to the Legislature.
Gov. Rick Snyder is calling for additional state funding to put more Michigan State Police troopers on the streets.
The Republican governor laid out his budget proposal Thursday. It includes putting $15.2 million toward training an additional 107 troopers in the Michigan State Police Training Academy. His plan also calls investing $18 million to train up to 790 corrections officers.
Snyder also is proposing adding $2 million to the state's mental health courts. Michigan currently has nine mental health courts and Snyder's proposal would allow for the creation of additional courts.
Public safety was also a major focus of Snyder's budget proposal last year. In 2012, Snyder called for a 16 percent funding boost for the Michigan State Police from the state's general fund.
Gov. Rick Snyder is proposing setting aside state funds to use in the case of natural disasters such as forest fires, tornadoes and floods.
Snyder is calling for $4 million in the budget for fiscal year 2014 that begins Oct. 1 to create a Disaster and Emergency Contingency Fund. The Republican governor's plan would also add $4 million to the fund in fiscal year 2015.
The emergency fund would allow Michigan to be financially ready to respond in the case of a natural disaster or state emergency, according to Snyder's proposal.
Last year, the Duck Lake fire in the Upper Peninsula's Luce County burned nearly 33 square miles of land and destroyed 136 homes, cabins and recreational vehicles.
Gov, Rick Snyder is asking Michigan lawmakers to raise the gas tax, expand Medicaid to more uninsured and put more money into early childhood education.
The Republican governor on Thursday unveiled his proposed $50.9 billion budget to lawmakers who sit on budget committees.
A major piece includes a call to raise the state gasoline tax from 19 cents a gallon to 33 cents and increase vehicle registration fees to fix ailing roads and bridges. Snyder says doing nothing will cost Michigan more down the line.
A typical family would pay $120 more per car each year if the changes go into effect.
Snyder argues that not extending Medicaid would harm people who are too poor to qualify for taxpayer-subsidized health insurance offered through online exchanges.
Gov. Rick Snyder wants to spend $21 million on dredging Michigan harbors that are becoming too shallow because of slumping Great Lakes water levels.
The governor's proposed budget released Thursday calls for an $11.5 million special appropriation for dredging. Additionally, he wants to transfer more than $9 million from the state waterway fund for the purpose.
That fund usually pays for maintenance of breakwalls, docks and other harbor infrastructure. Some of those projects would be delayed because of the short-term transfer.
Additionally, aides say Snyder want to build a long-term dredging fund with money that would come from a proposed increase in the state gasoline tax.
Federal funding for keeping harbors open has declined in recent years. State officials say it's essential to the Michigan economy to keep harbors open.
Gov. Rick Snyder wants to raise some of Michigan's hunting and fishing license fees.
The Republican governor included the fee increases in his proposed budget released Thursday. They are part of a broader plan to boost funding of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, which manages forests, wildlife and outdoor recreation programs.
Snyder's plan calls for creating a new "base" hunting license that would cost $10 for most in-state residents. Additional fees would be charged for hunting particular animals, such as deer, turkey and bear.
DNR Director Keith Creagh says the increases would raise $18 million in new revenue. Snyder also is requesting more money for the DNR in the state general fund. If legislators approve the plan, the department could hire 41 additional conservation officers.
Gov. Rick Snyder wants to expand an initiative to provide more low-income Michigan children with dental care.
The Republican governor is calling for $11.6 million in the state's budget to expand the Healthy Kids Dental program. Snyder's plan would cover an additional 70,500 children in Ottawa, Ingham and Washtenaw counties. Snyder revealed his budget proposal for lawmakers Thursday for fiscal year 2014 that begins Oct. 1.
The Healthy Kids Dental program is partnership between the Michigan Department of Community Health and Delta Dental of Michigan. It provides Medicaid-eligible Michigan residents under the age of 21 with dental benefits.
There governor's office says 440,000 Michigan children are currently enrolled in the Healthy Kids Dental program.

The Last D-Day Anniversary With WWII Vets in Congress
As world leaders met Friday to mark the 70th anniversary of WWII's pivotal battle, the D-Day memorial offered a stark reminder that the war's once significant influence on Congress is waning.
This year is likely to mark the last time a veteran from WWII will serve in Congress, the first time that can be said since 1944. While those who fought the Axis powers in Europe or the Pacific once made up a solid bloc in both the House and Senate, the number has dwindled to two and will soon slip to zero. Rep. John Dingell (D., Mich.), who was drafted into the Army in 1943, plans to retire at year end; Rep. Ralph Hall (R., Texas), a Navy pilot during the war, recently lost a primary while seeking re-election. The last Senate veteran of WWII, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D., N.J.), died last year.
The decline is part of a broader trend that has seen the percentage of lawmakers who served in the military fall steadily in recent decades. The post-WWII era saw the number of members of Congress grow steadily until the mid-1970s, when many veterans of the war reached their late 40s, early 50s. The influence of veterans peaked during the 92nd Congress (1971-1972), when a full 72% of House members and 78% of Senate members had served in the military, according to the Congressional Research Service.
Since the '70s, however, the number of members with military experience has generally fallen steadily. In the current 113th Congress, only 20 of the 100 senators and 89 of the 435 House members have military service.

- Democrat Xavier Becerra Sees House Control Within Reach
The departure of the Greatest Generation from the halls of the Capitol comes a time when the sober insight they've provided as top committee chairmen and congressional leaders for the last seventy years would be helpful as the U.S. wrestles with geopolitical challenges around the globe and domestic issues such as veterans' care.
The latter issue, sparked by a growing scandal within the VA system, has put a focus on how the country takes care of the men and women who serve in the military after their service is done. Long wait times and mismanagement have already cost Eric Shinseki his job as Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary, and lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol are expected to spend at least the next several months wrestling with how to overhaul the VA health-care system.
But while WWII veterans may soon be absent from the Capitol, lawmakers say they will not be forgotten. A number of House and Senate lawmakers, including Mr. Hall, traveled this week to take part in the D-Day memorial services. Rep. Buck McKeon (R., Calif.), who chairs the House Armed Services Committee and helped lead the House delegation to France for the occasion, cited a quote from former President Dwight Eisenhower to mark the anniversary:
"The eyes of the world are still upon these men. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere still march with them."

- Oct 7:
- Grant Balfour gives A's what they need
- Purdy: Oakland A's love to hit in Detroit
- Oakland A's notebook: Dan Otero gets 'six biggest outs of my life'
- Grant Balfour, Victor Martinez detail altercation in Game 3 of ALDS
- Purdy: Grant Balfour did NOT wake up sleeping Tigers
- Hickey: Balfour-Martinez confab was great theatre
DETROIT -- Victor Martinez's angry posturing notwithstanding, the A's are one step closer to the American League Championship Series.
And Martinez's Tigers are one step closer to an earlier-than-expected offseason after Oakland rattled Comerica Park for three homers en route to a 6-3 victory Monday. The A's have two of the three wins they need in the American League Division Series to advance.
The benches cleared in the ninth inning when Martinez, the Tigers' designated hitter, took exception to the nonstop talking of A's closer Grant Balfour, and took a step toward the mound. Nothing happened, which might be a metaphor for how the A's have taken the life out of the Tigers after suffering a Game 1 loss.
Oakland pitching has dominated Martinez and the Tigers offense to the point where Detroit has scored in just two innings in three games. With a win Tuesday in Game 4 at Comerica Park, the A's can advance to the A.L. championship series for the first time since 2006.
"The way we've played all year is that what happened yesterday, that's over," Balfour said. "What happened today, that's over, too. But the series isn't over. We've still got one game to win."
The A's, whose transformation from 2013 contender to division winner began six weeks ago at Comerica Park, used the Tigers' home to best advantage. Again. From Aug. 26-29, the A's hit seven homers and scored 34 runs in Motown. Monday, it was six runs and three homers.
More than that, Monday saw the A's put together one of their best postseason performances, mixing in defense and pitching with the offense while the Tigers struggled with all facets.
Afterward, there was such a sense of normality in the Oakland clubhouse that eighth-inning reliever Sean Doolittle was asked if the clubhouse was subdued because of the Martinez-Balfour two-step.
It wasn't subdued, Doolittle said. And the players didn't seem to put much stock in the benches clearing in the ninth inning.
"It's very businesslike in here," Doolittle said. "That's how it is here. We're enjoying being up 2-1. But tomorrow it'll be like any other game day."
Jarrod Parker, who had the hard luck to start two games in the 2012 ALDS when Justin Verlander was on the other side and dealing, was gifted with a 3-0 lead thanks to Coco Crisp, who scored one run and drove one in, and a Josh Reddick homer. That lead vanished in the space of five hitters in the bottom of the fourth, but Brandon Moss broke the tie in the top of the fifth with a solo homer. Seth Smith added a two-run bomb moments later.
"That was huge," Parker said of the offense regaining the game's momentum. "That's why I wanted to get back out there in the fifth and make it a quick one."
He did that, with the help of a double play started by third baseman Josh Donaldson. Then the bullpen came in, throwing up zeros. Balfour followed Dan Otero and Doolittle, and when Balfour got Omar Infante to fly out to Reddick in right, it was time to turn the page to Tuesday.
"One thing this team is good at," Smith said, "is playing with consistency. We'll go out there tomorrow just like we went out there today. There won't be any more emphasis on that game than on any of the playoff games."
The consistency Monday came in the form of setting up scoring chances. The A's got the leadoff man on base in each of the first four innings.
It came in the form of playing defense. Donaldson and Moss turned two fine double plays, and Jed Lowrie made two nice plays deep in the hole at shortstop.
The pitching had just one inning, the fourth, when more than one runner reached base.
"Getting the three-spot right back like that was huge," Balfour said. "It looked like they had some momentum going, and right there we got it back."
And the A's have the opportunity to carry that momentum forward Tuesday.

St. Gregory's University will present a month-long exhibit of university-created artwork titled "Nature in Prayer: Artwork from the St. Gregory's University Community" beginning Friday, March 1, at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art on the SGU campus.
A reception for the artists will take place Friday March 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art on the SGU campus. The reception is free and open to the general public, and refreshments will be served.
The exhibition, which will be on display through March 24, features a unique blend of icons, paintings, drawings, photographs, mixed media works, artist prints, ceramics and sculpture depicting a reverence for God reflected in a love of nature—all created by members of the St. Gregory's University visual arts faculty, administration, staff and alumni.
SGU Visual Arts Professor Sheryl Cozad curated the exhibition with the assistance of Mabee-Gerrer Preparator Daniel Lay.
"The exciting thing about this work is that it demonstrates the Benedictine mission of the St. Gregory's community while showing the way that artists search for God through looking at the natural world surrounding them," Cozad said. "As Fr. Thomas Berry states, 'The universe lives through us. We are the painter and the painting.'"
In addition to work presented by Cozad, St. Gregory's President Gregory Main also contributed pieces, including one entitled "The Cow."
"My work is about either people or animals, which are both a part of nature," Main said. "The horse and the cow have been important throughout history. I want people to enjoy the interplay of color and expression in my work describing the horse's movement and the cow's stability."
The exhibit will also feature "Sacred Cliff Swallow," which was painted by SGU Visual Arts professor Dr. Madeline Rugh.
"Within the movement, color and texture of wings, wind and weeds lies a deep and unfathomable silence," Rugh said of the piece. "This quality of nature draws me into a place of utter stillness and wonder where the sacred dimensions of life can be felt, first hand. My artwork represents a dialogue (prayer) with this awareness—a sacred exchange between breathing bodies."
Other exhibiting artists include Christopher Cunningham, M.F.A. and Rodica Focseneanu Cunningham, M.F.A., who will present Romanian glass iconography, photography by Brother George Hubl O.S.B., Carey Hughes, M.F.A. and SGU Vice President for Operations Harley Lingerfelt, paintings by SGU alum Yoko Yagi Lofis, B.A., drawings by SGU staff member Robert Pawnee, printmaking and ceramics by SGU Visual Arts professor Tim Sullivan, M.F.A. and artwork from alum Jesse Whittle, B.A.

His gift to a stranger earned the gratitude of a nation
Published: Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 10:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 10:58 p.m.
SARASOTA - More than a half century ago, Jim Welch was a fresh-faced copy boy whose job was to retrieve court documents and police reports for the reporters back at the Rochester Times-Union
"They'd yell, 'Boy!'" Welch said. "And you'd run."
At that newspaper is where Welch heard a plea for help that changed his life.
A radio broadcaster told the story of 11-year-old Mary Ann Ranney, who had suffered a crippling bone disease for most of her childhood. The girl, whose thin face was masked by thick glasses, was a stranger, although Welch recognized her from down the street.
The journalist asked the community in New York to help, but for the past month, the response had been silent.
"That's why I said, 'I'll do it,'" said Welch, now 78, living in Sarasota.
For four hours, doctors cut out a chunk of bone — about 8 inches long — from his left tibia to use it to reconstruct Mary Ann's leg in 1953.
For weeks, Welch recovered in the hospital until he was strong enough to use crutches to walk for nearly a year.
His random act of kindness was not unnoticed.
It sparked an outpouring of community support as the media picked up his story and dubbed him a hero in the headlines.
A stranger donated money. The "Wheel of Fortune" television show sent him a telegram. Even President Dwight Eisenhower wanted to meet him and awarded him the Young American Medal in December 1954.
"The President seemed to be a very easy person to talk to," Welch wrote in a newspaper story, once he returned home from the White House. "While he was pinning the medal on me, he asked me what sports I had played. I told him I played baseball and basketball and he said he always had been interested in those sports."
Now in his home on Honore Avenue, Welch still keeps the framed medal, the certificate and the old photographs of him shaking the president's outstretched hand.
Even the newspaper articles themselves are relics. Years ago, the Rochester Times-Union shut down and no longer prints newspapers.
As to whatever happened to the little girl, Welch doesn't know.
Welch said he doesn't speak to Mary Ann anymore nor does he know where she is.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis program will host one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the nation starting on Friday when the 47th Annual HEB Tournament of Champions kicks off at 9 a.m. on the courts at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. It is the longest running college team tournament in the United States.
The generous donations of HEB and several Islanders boosters have allowed the event to become one of the premier tournaments in the world of college tennis. In addition to monetary support, several families throughout the Corpus Christi tennis community have provided housing for teams during their stay in the Coastal Bend.
In an annual event that the Islanders have faired well in, they will face No. 30 BYU in the 9 a.m. match, with a match against either Louisiana – Lafayette or Western Michigan on tap at 4 p.m.
On the opposite side of the bracket, No. 34 Middle Tennessee and DePaul will do battle at the HEB Tennis Center in the 9 a.m. match, as will South Alabama and UTSA.
For Texas A&M – Corpus Christi (1-5), the team will face one of the toughest opponents in the field, with BYU (10-2) notching wins over four ranked teams, and the only losses coming against No. 3 UCLA and No. 18 Stanford.
It is a familiar field for the Islanders, with just two teams different from a season ago.
After the completion of the early matches on Friday morning, the winner and loser of each match will face their counterpart in a 4 p.m. match at the same sites from the morning.
On Saturday, six of the teams will play for spots 3-8 at 9 a.m., while the 12 p.m. championship match will take place at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. All Islanders matches will be played at the Henry Tennis Center on the Momentum Campus off of Nile Dr.

Take away the supernatural motivations and you have a bunch of very pretty art and architecture left, and there's no reason you can't have those without the supernatural motivations.

DNA Testing - know the In's and Out's of it. Genetic Genealogy, a new branch of genealogy combining genetics and traditional genealogy research, is the most accurate tool for the family historian. Family connections can be proven or disproven. DNA testing can support a paper trail which is often in question given the lack of surviving records. Its popularity grows daily with thousands testing monthly throughout the world.
01 November 2008
Why Test 67 Markers?
As genealogists, we want our test to further our research; therefore, it is imperative that the test be helpful within a genealogical time frame. The following numbers of markers that are tested give results which are and are not within genealogical time. Although the following are the tests provided by Family Tree DNA, any testing company using about that number of markers will produce a similar result. However, note that at this time, no other company tests 67 markers on the Y chromosome, except Family Tree DNA.
Thus chart indicates the time frame for a match within a set of markers.
DNA TMRCA (Time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor) and Probability to the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA)
12 marker Ydna test tells you only about your most ancient ancestry....over 600 yrs ago and before surnames. The Genographic Project uses only the 12 marker for males as they are only interested in tracking the migration pattern of our most ancient ancestors. Their project is an anthropological study; not a genealogical one, but in time their data will help us.
25 marker match gives you a 95% probability of having a common ancestor within the last 600 yrs.
37 marker match gives you a 95% probability of having a common ancestor within the last 300 yrs.
67 marker match gives you a 95% probability of having a common ancestor within the last 150-200 yrs.
This means that the 37 marker and the 67 marker are the genealogists' best choices as they fall withing a genealogical time frame. Prior to 600 years ago some cultures did not establish surnames. Actually, the Irish were probably the oldest culture and they began around 1000 years ago. However, the Welsh, the Jews and many others hae only had surnames for the last few hundred hears..
Although one can order the lesser number of markers (37) and upgrade at any time to a 67 marker test, the cost is a bit more than the difference between the two. There are also good reasons to update to a 67 marker and, in cases, reasons not to bother, at least until it is necessary.
So why upgrade to a 67 marker?
The following information will help the tester determine if a 67 marker is important to your goals.
It is important to know that a Ydna 67 marker test can:
* further refine the estimate of how closely related two individuals are.
* help groups of related testers find mutations which identify sub-branches in the family.
The following scenarios are good reasons to upgrade to a 67 marker:
If you are a member of a group of closely related testers with a good 37 marker match, but there is no paper trial to connect the croup, it may be wise to upgrade as:
* More mutations can result, giving you the opportunity to further subdivide the large group and look for more recent common ancestors.
(See Talley Project at www.familytreedna.com/puiblic/Talley-Tally)
If you are a member of a group with many mutations (more than the usually number…i.e., more than 3 with a 37 marker) and you think you are closely related with the paper trail.
* The marker increase may not increase the mutations.
* The marker mutations may increase, pushing the common ancestor too far away from the group.
* The marker mutations may help bridge the mutations within the group. Often this happens when you find a family who has many mutations and the paper trail supports a good connection. Some families do mutate more often than others. Finding more testers for the family may bridge the gap between those who have greater genetic differences. A 67 marker may also show the testers re closely related as the markers from 38-67 have few to no mutations. The more markers tested the greater number of genetic differences can be accepted for still being a close relationship.
Probability for Most Recent Common Ancestor
The following times back to the MRCA when ALL the markers match are based in the latest results of the mutation rate study conducted by the University of Arizona.
For example, with 37/37 match there is a 50% probability that the MRCA was no longer than 2 generations, and a 90% probability that the MRCA was within the last 5 generations.
Compare these with 25 and 12 -- with 25 markers, there is a 50% probability that the MRCA was within the last 3 generations, while with 12 markers, there is a 50% probability that the MRCA was within the last 7 generations.
For a chart showing the Probability for Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA), see: http://www.familytreedna.com/faq2.html
SO, in conclusion, if your test results fits within one of the above scenarios, it may be advantageous to upgrade to a 67 marker.
In time, there may be an increase in available markers to test so upgrading to a 67 marker may be only a step to the future and not the end.

Surely the better way to argue the case for more markers were if fewer markers weren't able to differentiate between the surname under research and other surnames. Even for the most common surnames (Smith, Walker, Brown etc.) it hasn't been necessary to go to 67 markers. The data at SMGF uses fewer markers with excellent resolution of groups.
I understand that additionally tested markers allow for additional chances to observe mutations and thus show sub-groups within a larger group, but is 67 the right number, or 670? Or could you have seen the same information at less than 67? What would you consider the best number and how would you quantify it?
In your own project, is there good evidence that 67 markers has resolved any further groups of significance? If so, at what cost? There was a time when genetic genealogists were told 12 markers was good enough. I believe by the same company. I guess I'm saying take caution in what you are being sold as it sounds like the message alters if you listen to the marketing dept vs. taking a hard look at data. There's a very good reason to question it as ultimately you are asking your own relatives to buy into it too.

Thank you for your comments. I was not suggesting that everyone should upgrade to a 67 marker. I was only giving some reason why it could help. It surely isn't necessary to have 67 markers to know if one belongs to a particular surname.
Sixty-seven is the current maximum amount for Ydna in the genealogy area. Only if more markers are determined to be helpful in breaking people down into subgroups even further would it be necessary to increase the number of markers. I doubt that 670 on the Y-chromsome would be practical.
There is no "best number" for any one situation. Much of it depends upon the tester's goals and the findings within the project.
In one of my projects we have a large group who matches with some mutations. Some of them with perfect matches until they upgraded to a 67 marker. In particular, one person who couldn't determine the common ancestor to the larger group found he had a mutation in the markers between 38 and 67. Now when he finds someone with the surname who matches him, but has that unique marker, he will know there is a closer match than with the group. This can help focus the research to a more specific situation.
I also have a group who matched at a 12 marker, but was all over the place with a 37 marker upgrade. It was just a bit more than the average mutations for a 37 marker. They sworn their paper trails were solid. We tested more people and found the newer testers were bridging the gap. After upgrading to 67 markers we found a better percentage of markers matching and led us to resolve that this family mutated more than the average.
SO...yes, one needs to set their own goals for testing, work with their administrator to understand all this and whether any upgrade could be helpful or not.

Emily - A little late to this conversation, but I discovered something tonight that makes me have more confidence in a very close 67 marker match my line has with another. My Cook line from KY has a 65/67 marker match with a Koch line from PA. One of my early Cooks went by "Dutch" and I could never figure out why. Then I found this tonight: "The Pennsylvania Dutch, are not Dutch, but are of German and German speaking heritage, They are the descendants of the early German speaking settlers of the inland counties of Pennsylvania who arrived in Pennsylvania prior to the Revolutionary War."
How much confidence can I have in a 67 marker match with 2 mutations?

- Genealem said...
You can have a lot of confidence in the 65/67 match. That's very good. AND...with your line being German, it is possible that Koch and Cook really have the same roots. Often names were altered. To know the really pronouciation of the German Koch could help. I have German line with the ancester being Thones Kunders. Surprisingly, I have learned that his being called Dennis Cunard isn't far from the German pronouciation. I was shocked, but this comes from a person who knows German and German research.

DOE Announces Inaugural Collegiate Wind Competition Teams
April 11, 2013
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is pleased to announce the teams selected to take part in the inaugural DOE Collegiate Wind Competition.
The following 10 student teams were selected through a competitive process to compete in this inaugural competition:
• Boise State University
• California Maritime Academy
• Colorado School of Mines
• James Madison University (VA)
• Kansas State University
• Northern Arizona University
• Pennsylvania State University
• University of Alaska Fairbanks
• University of Kansas
• University of Massachusetts Lowell
The elite educational programs have committed to formulating an interdisciplinary team, integrating the three principal competition contests into students' coursework and senior design projects. The competition contests are designed to reach students from various engineering and business programs to provide them with engaging, real-world project experience as they prepare to enter the workforce. The selected programs garnered organizational support from their institutions as well as private-sector and community support.
The Collegiate Wind Competition is a forum for undergraduate college students of multiple disciplines to investigate innovative wind energy concepts; gain experience designing, building, and testing a wind turbine to perform according to a customized market data-derived business plan; and increase their knowledge of wind industry barriers. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is facilitating the inaugural competition, which will take place in spring 2014.
"Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing electrical energy options in the United States, and the industry requires a skilled workforce with talented people from engineering, business, and communications backgrounds. This competition will help attract students from a wide range of disciplines into this exciting industry," said DOE Wind and Water Power Technologies Office Education and Outreach Lead Jonathan Bartlett.
The theme of the inaugural competition is to design and construct a lightweight, transportable wind turbine that can be used to power small electronic devices. A principal contest involves testing each team's prototype wind turbine in a wind tunnel under specific conditions. Each team's business plan and turbine will also be evaluated against other pre-weighted criteria. The third event of the competition will be a team-to-team debate relating to current wind market drivers and issues. Teams will be judged on the members' understanding of the issues posed to them, their communication of potential solutions, and their ability to promote constructive dialogue.
This competition is an opportunity for collegiate institutions to showcase student ingenuity and the programs that the students represent. In addition to this national recognition, the turbine from the college or university with the best overall score will be placed on temporary display at the DOE headquarters building in Washington, D.C.
The competition enables DOE to support innovative and forward-thinking educational institutions that incorporate renewable energy technologies, helping to foster the growth of the future wind energy industry and workforce.

The group of small children raced through the new Entertainment Center at North Canton Skate Center, grinning and laughing as if they'd just been let loose at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
It's not surprising. The 12,000-square-foot arcade, which opened Nov. 1, is full of color and sounds and flashing lights. In addition to a barrage of arcade games, there are bigger attractions such as:
• Spin Zone with eight bumper cars, accompanpied by lights and music.
• Euro Bungy, which combines trampolining with bungee cords.
• Lazer Runner, a laser-tag maze with fluorescent lights and a 23-player capacity.
• A three-sided rock-climbing wall — one side with rock-like formations, one with plastic piping and a third with holes simulating Swiss cheese.
About the skate center's expansion into other amusements, co-owner Aaron Rich said, "Other rinks around the country have done it. This is the way it's going. There's only a certain amount of kids that roller skate."
Rich's wife, April, grew up at the rink, which was built in 1960 by her aunt, Georgette Grabowski.
"I think my aunt would be thrilled with (the Entertainment Center). She liked to change with the times," said April, who inherited the rink in 2001 after Grabowski died.
In planning the new center, the Riches sought the input of their children, ages 9 and 11. "It's what the kids seemed to like," Aaron Rich said. "Their ages make them the perfect test subjects."
The plan is to keep adding attractions.
Birthday parties are a big part of the equation at the rink and entertainment center. "We get kids, colleges, adult parties," Rich said. The $13-per-person party package includes unlimited activities (including skating) plus food, drinks and arcade tokens.
A concession stand offers pizza, soft pretzels, corn dogs, cotton candy, Icees and more.
"The day after Christmas we get busy," Rich said. "People have to get their children out of the house."

WASHINGTON (January 3, 2013)—The Federal Election Commission is fining President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign $375,000 for reporting violations related to a set of donations received during the final days of the campaign.
The fines, which are among the largest ever levied against a presidential campaign by the FEC, stem from a series of missing filings for nearly 1,200 contributions totaling nearly $1.9 million.
Campaigns are required to file the reports during the final weeks of the campaign.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Katie Hogan said the 2008 campaign had more than 3 million donors and "the very few outstanding questions have now all been resolved."
Politico first reported the fines.

U.S. U19 Team Runs Past Long Island All-Stars
|California native Michael
Tagliaferri scored two goals for Team USA in a 12-4 exhibition win
over a group of Long Island all-stars on Saturday

UNIONDALE, N.Y. - Thanks to Michael Tagliaferri, when the U.S. Under-19 men's national team heads to Finland later this summer, the team will truly be representative of a country that stretches from sea to shining sea.
Tagliaferri, a Northern California native who will play at North Carolina next season, is the first player from California to make a national team.
"Back home it's a big deal, not just for me, but for everyone," said Tagliaferri, after Team USA defeated the Long Island All-Stars, 12-4, on Saturday night. "It's a big deal to represent not only my country, but California too."
And represent he did, scoring two goals to help Team USA past some of the best high school and college talent on Long Island.
Tagliaferri landed in New York earlier this week and missed his graduation from San Ramon Valley High School, but he didn't mind.
"You don't get an opportunity to play for a gold medal every summer." Tagliaferri said.
True, but in future summers, other Californians should get that chance.
"California's growing as a whole," Tagliaferri said. "I think we're catching up to these East Coast guys. Back here you just have so many players that are polished. They've played for a long time. The speed is a little better."
While the East Coast still dominates -- the team has 10 Long Islanders -- there is a cross country feel to the squad with Tagliaferri, Matthew Florence and Tanner Ottenbreit (Colorado) and Connor Buczek (Ohio).
"It's so cool to see how the game is spreading," said Harvard defender Stephen Jahelka, one of the aforementioned Long Islanders. "You get a Peter Baum at Colgate, he's from Oregon. The game is really moving across the country. That's really cool for kids to see when they come watch us. You don't have to be from the East Coast to make teams like this. You can be from anywhere."
Of course, those from traditional lacrosse hotbeds, will have an impact for the U.S. in Finland.
Matt Kavanagh played high school lacrosse at nearby Chaminade and led all players with four goals and one assist. His high school teammate Sean Mahon, currently of Harvard, added two goals. And the Long Island team, which was led by two goals from Garden City's Liam Kennedy, provided a solid opening test for Team USA to start its three game-exhibition schedule ahead of July's FIL World Championship.
"We said at tryouts you could take the next 23 guys and have a championship-caliber team," Tagliaferri said. "Playing against these guys, a lot of them tried out, this was a good test. It was a big deal for us."
It's all in preparation for the competition in a few weeks.
"I've never played against anybody from outside the United States," Tagliaferri said. "It will be an experience to see how lacrosse is played on a global scale. The Canadian game is a lot different. As for other countries, I don't really know. We just have to play our game."
A language barrier will also separate Team USA in many of its games, but the Americans' reaction to Tagliaferri's second goal, a rocket from in front of the cage, was familiar in any language: A team-wide whoop of awe.
The International Language
Saturday's exhibition was played with international rules, including four running 20-minute quarters. Learning the myriad of differences in international play will be one of the toughest adjustments for Team USA.
In fact, before they take on the Eastern Pennsylvania All-Stars, Saturday at Radnor High School, they'll take a quiz on international rules.
"International rules are kind of funny," Jahelka said. "It's a much quicker game, a lot of funky rules."
The quicker pace led to some problems on Saturday.
"It puts you in hairy transition situations," Jahelka said. "The middies got caught in transition. It's stuff we'll have to work on."
Another international issue for the American defense could be Canada's offense.
"When they play together it's pretty cool," Jahelka said. "They'll throw the ball in an area expecting you to get there. Off-ball [defense] is going to be huge."
Jahelka said the team did a good job with that against Long Island, but there is another potential worry regarding the talented Canadians.
"The big challenge for us is to make sure we realize there's more than one team," Jahelka said. "More than Canada. If we go in expecting it to be just us and Canada and we get knocked off by Australia, that's not gonna be good."
Kavanagh Leads Offense
Long Island native Matt Kavanagh scored as many goals as the Long Island All-Stars did on Saturday.
Scoring in front of a stellar defense should be familiar to Kavanagh, who is bound for Notre Dame, which had the No. 1 ranked defense in the NCAA this season.
This summer, he'll have the best defenders in America behind him. Kavanagh said that allows an attacker take some chances.
"You're gonna get the ball back," he said. "You can make some risky plays."
In addition to multi-goal scorers Kavanagh, Mahon and Tagliaferri, USA received goals from Buczek, Steve Pontrello, Ryan Tucker and Joseph Leonard. Brent Armstrong led the team with two assists.
All-American Bonding
With all the joking and hollering on the sideline, it was hard to imagine that the U-19 team had not played together since Thanksgiving. The team had no issue reconnecting this week, bonding over two-a-days and video games while training at C.W. Post.
"Everyone comes from good high school and college programs," Jahelka said. "It makes it easy to come together... It's been a bit of a grind, doing two-a-days. But we're all so close. The whole week at Post we've been playing FIFA, telling stories."
The team, which last played at an exhibition in Dallas in November, stayed in communication throughout the school year over the Internet.
"We were close from the beginning," Tagliaferri said. "It wasn't hard to keep in touch. We were always talking together. Seeing what guys we were doing. It was fun.
That includes Harvard men like Jahelka and Mahon and high schoolers like Tagliaferri and Armstrong. The team even fields a high school junior, Stephen Kelly of Calvert Hall.
"I don't see ages," Jahelka said. "I see middies and D's. Everyone has great lacrosse IQs."
Tagliaferri agreed that the high school players have had no issue fitting in.
"These guys have all played the college game, which is obviously a different speed," Tagliaferri said. "But they're always giving you pointers and we're such a tight-knit team. You see it how we play. With the chemistry it's almost like we have been playing together for a year. They bring me right in. It's awesome to see. There's a team atmosphere. I think when you look at championship teams it's always a team with chemistry that wins it."

Remember when you first finished Half-Life 2: Episode 2? The excitement? The shock? You were ready to set out with Alyx at your side, ready to show those alien bastards who's boss. The trilogy, and with it, the Combine's rule over Earth, would end soon.
Except it didn't. At the time of this writing, almost five years have passed since the supposed release date of the final installment in Gordon Freeman's saga. Half-Life 2: Episode Three was slated to arrive Christmas 2007. It didn't. As the weeks and months went by, confused fans tried to glean whatever information they could from Valve, but, by and large, they were unsuccessful. The company remained silent.
In this Kotaku Timeline, we follow the fans' process of dealing with Valve's silence, cataloging their forays into leaked code, and their communications with the developers. We detail the ways the gaming press interacted with Valve over the years, and list what little has been revealed. In addition, we will keep watch over the game, and take note of any events, good or bad, in the months and years to come.
There were no mentions of the final episode—called Half-Life 3 by some—between 1999, when Valve registered the domain halflife3.com, and 2006. But then, announcements were made, and names were dropped. And so this is where our timeline begins...
GTTV: Episode 3. What do we know about it? What can you tell us?
Gabe: From our point of view there's enough newness in there that we want to sort of spring it on people and say "here's a bunch of things you've never seen before" — we have multiple of those.
GTTV: And that's graphically, or in terms of the gameplay, or...
Gabe: There's stuff that visually hasn't been in games before, and there's certainly a bunch of game elements, on the order of Portal, that have never been done before.
GTTV: So even better than the portal gun?
Gabe: Oh yeah.
GTTV: Really? New gameplay paradigms?
Gabe: Uh-huh. I think that we're really happy with how the Orange Box did, and we'd do an Oranger Box next time, certainly.
Steamcast: Alright, first question: this is one of the most commonly asked questions that we had received and we've tried to format it into something you might be able to answer: you'd kept Episode 3 under incredibly heavy wraps thus far; we'd like to know why have you chosen to adapt such a reclusive approach this time around, as opposed to previous releases. Was it based on the reception you'd received about letting out too much info prior to Episode 2, or just something completely different?
Gabe Newell: I think that what's going on, you know, we're sort of always experimenting, we're always trying out different kinds of things, and that has positive as well as negative consequences for ourselves and for the community—so if you look at our different products, we're trying out these different rhythms. (Ed.: Here Gabe talks about how Valve handles updates for Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.) Right now, the Half-Life 2 episodes themselves are on a third sort of rhythm, and, you know, we think it makes sense for the product and for what we're trying to do there. The reason that we're not talking about anything is mainly that we don't have anything to say; it's not like we decided we released too much information, it's just that if we had information that we were in a position to deliver to people, we would—and right now we don't have anything to say about it.

Scientists found that dichlorophenols - which are pesticides found in both items - are associated with food allergies. They say their research showed the chemicals can weaken food tolerance in some people, leading to a possible food allergy. Purifying water may strip it of bacteria that could be beneficial to our immune systems. The study is found in the December issue of the Annals of Allergy and Asthma.

Bank of America to lay off 1,100, close Ohio sites
Published: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 7:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 7:53 a.m.
BEACHWOOD, Ohio (AP) — Bank of America Corp. will lay off more than 1,100 employees as it closes two suburban Cleveland offices and one in Cincinnati while shrinking its mortgage operations.
About 1,000 people will lose jobs when a mortgage and consumer banking office in Beachwood closes Oct. 31. Beachwood Mayor Merle Gorden says those facilities are owned by The Cleveland Clinic, and the city hopes to explore whether the Clinic's operations could expand to the affected spaces and employ some of the laid-off workers.
Workers will receive severance packages. The Plain Dealer reports transfer opportunities for them are limited because North Carolina-based Bank of America has no similar operations in the Cleveland area.
An Independence office with 55 employees and a Cincinnati office with 100 workers also will close Oct. 31.

New shopping centers usually bring more traffic dangers. One developer wants to bring a shopping center to a residential area off Fury's Ferry, and people who live there are not happy about it. News 12 is on your side with how zoning laws could affect your safety.
Deputies say there's an average of ten accidents a week, and 120 a year in busy intersections.
Leah Ronen wants to keep the kids at the Augusta Jewish Community Center away from that kind of traffic.
"In eight to ten years we could be looking at just the type of developments we don't think would help the area in any way," Ronen said.
Starting with the possibility of a shopping center across the street within the next year. Deputy Keith Warner says it could bring the same congestion that came with the Evans Wal-Mart.
"The more traffic you have in an area, of course it's gonna be more congested, more traffic accidents," Warner said.
Developer T.R. Reddy asked Columbia County to rezone nine acres off Fury's Ferry.
The Office of Planning and Development might consider rezoning residential land like this if they think the land can be put to better use by allowing businesses to move in. Another reason they might rezone is if the residential land is already surrounded by commercial property.
Senior Planner Tom Tully says Reddy's case doesn't fit those requirements.
"The 2000 growth management plan calls for that area to remain residential, so the developer has withdrawn his application," Tully said.
"We're concerned it could be brought up again in a matter of months," Ronen said.
And that's exactly what the developer plans to do, make a few changes and resend a new plan. The Office of Planning and Development says it will have to fit with Columbia County's growth management plan.
"I don't think that rezoning to C2 would be consistent with the vision that's part of that plan," Ronen said.
The developer will find out at Tuesday night's Board of Commission meeting when he will be able to offer up a new plan. The Office of Planning and Development says that area should stay residential. Commissioners will have the final say.

Dell 4350 review
Dell's straight-laced business beamer has home cinema pretensions, but can its bright images justify its high price?
Dell's straight-laced business beamer has home cinema pretensions, but can its bright images justify its high price?
When Sony says 'home cinema' it's not messing around. The heady combo of 4K and HDR makes the VW520ES a stunner.
This gold-coloured, single-chip DLP beamer provides detailed Full HD images coloured according to the Rec. 709 standard for Blu-ray, but don't mistake it with HDR.
If you're looking for a projector with a solid feature set at a great price, the Epson EX9200 Pro might be it.
If a movie theater experience is what you're looking for in a projector, the HT4050 comes pretty darn close.
Probably the most detailed Full HD picture we've seen from an affordable projector, but it doesn't come easy.
With Full HD, built-in 3D and an excellent out-of-the-box images for movies, this DLP projector is just lacking in its setup.
The first projector with a 16W sound system is all the more convenient for it, though it's not all sound and fury.
Can '4K Enhancement' impress enough for this excellent Full HD projector to justify its high price tag and allow it to compete at the very highest level?

Everyone should stay out of Syria. You only need to look at each Arab country that has overthrown A DICTATOR TO FIND THAT Islamic FUNDAMENTALISTS who are only 15 to 20 percent of the various countries population have usurped the popular uprisings to rain a worse terror down on the people. Egypt, Libya, Tunisia,etc. are now in the middle of a 2nd uprising and more deaths. Let them be.
Primary tabs
Traces of sarin have been linked to an attack in Damascus. What do you make of the discovery?
12 Comments
This is a UN problem not a US problem If the UN does nothing then why are they there .We should not go at this alone.
I think we should do a full military build-up in the Middle East. Poise our missiles, and then attack every possible nuclear development location in IRAN. Destroy their nuclear capabilities for decades. Syria has always been a proxy exporting terrorism for Iran. Iran is the real problem, the central main problem in the whole Middle East.
Both sides fighting in Syria are undesirable for the USA, therefore there is no good choice to support.
Our radicalized Muslim concerns should be Iran in the Middle East and the "Muslim Brotherhood" wherever it exists.
The bottom line for all this sarin gas issue is that the following; WMD, Chemical, and Biological weapons of mass destruction SHALL NOT be used in any manner on this planet, Except for the possible destruction of Aliens if they decide to attack us. The aftermath and lasting damage that can be and will be done by using WMD, Chemical weapons, and Biological weapons is something that needs to be brought to the forefront and the UN needs to push this insted of deciding who is going to war on who. NO one wins a war. Come on people, we are supposed to be intelligent, just imagine, IF YOU CAN, what we might of had or where we could be today if everyone would work together for the betterment of man kind. As it stands now and in the past or in the future the middle east has been waring for thousands of years and the US is NOT going to change that ever. Did someone somewhere appoint the US as the world policing entity and make us the go to country for every little squabble that comes up? If so I missed that one. No matter what we as the United States do it is not going to prevent any warring issues that are done in the middle east. Let them, inhabitants of the middle east, take care of their own issues, we as the United States have many issues here at home that need resolve instead of worrying about the middle east. We have 13 million children that go to bed hungry every night, The government allowed all our manufacturing and technology to be sent overseas, causing extreme issues here by increasing unemployment to a unacceptable level, losing the middle class, Losing the American dream, causing thousands to become homeless, We have the government trying to cut social security, there are a multitude of necessary needed fixes right here at home, FIX THESE NOW instead of giving aid to Egypt and other countries. All the aid money going overseas can fix a multitude of issues right here at home. STOP sending aid to other foreign countries and it could help the national budget, dont you think? Or is that too difficult and complicated for the supposed intelligence of the 535???? what happened to just plain old common sense? the 535 sure does not have a clue....
You left out us disabled veterans. I agree that we need to concentrate on our own problems. F_ck those elsewhere. Let them handle their own ...!
So who do we aid. No matter who wins they will take the weapons we gave them and try to kill us, just like the Afgans did. I say let them kill each other and be done with it!
Syria, along with the many other mid-east muslim nations seem to persist in their desire to return to shaira law and the 14th century. We should not bomb or attack Syria or any other country. Let the muslims kill each other as they have for thousands of years. Let Allah sort them out!
In the United States, 1,200,000 babies are killed in the womb each year!!!! How hypocritical of us to threaten the Syrian Govt. for killing 400 children
Well, I have been saying since the beginning of the Iraq war that we gave them 4 months to hide the chemical weapons by sending then to Syria. Heck, give me 4 months warning to hide something (WMD's or whatever) and I guarantee you won't find it. Anyways, back to the point. The USA has absolutely NO compelling national interest in messing around in Syria. It is a lose-lose scenario. Let them beat the crap out of themselves and watch from here.
The correct answer is missing. If sarin gas was indeed used, a much more likely scenario would be that it was Al-Qaida who used it. These are the same terrorists who Obama, Kerry, and others such as McCain are so eager to support to overthrow Assad. Even IF it was Assad, why in the world would we want to support Al-Qaida? The same question could be asked about Libya and why we supported Al-Qaida there. For the most part, there are no "good guys" in the Middle East. Interference by the United States isn't going to solve anything and most likely will just makes things worse. When a cobra and a rattlesnake do battle over a rat, American interference on either side will not save the rat and will likely just get us bit, too.
Foreign Leaders at the United Nations are saying that both Obama and Kerry are lying about the evidence.
So if Kerry and Obama have all of the evidence they say they have...why don't they present this evidence to the United Nations and the Free World?
I find the distinction of chemical weapons to be dubious. Gunpowder is a chemical weapon capable of mass destruction - especially in large quantities (think bunker busters). So is C-4, in even smaller quantities. And let's not forget about Napalm; it can clear the forest and anything in it. Every country would use these, and they can have collateral damage including children. Hmmm?
A ban on Biological weapons does make sense, because it is easy to see how they could easily get out of control and rage like a wildfire in a unintended population. Nuclear weapons have widespread and long lasting effects - again two negatives beyond the immediate devastation.
But back to chemical weapons; is dead by bullet to the chest preferable to dead by gas? I don't know, but I would probably prefer sarin gas to napalm. Burning alive with the flammable material stuck to your skin isn't preferable to anything I can think of.
I don't like war; it is about killing people, plain and simple. But if war is to be fought, the nit picking about what is used (except for biological and nuclear) seems a bit absurd. I would be more inclined to "punish" a country for cavalierly allowing collateral damage to women and children rather than what they use to kill enemy combatants.
That's just my two cents,

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State football players David Freeman and Chris Kearney have been suspended for the remainder of the season for undisclosed violation of team policy, Spartans coach Mike MacIntyre said Tuesday.
The players were both suspended Friday, just before the team left on its road trip to play New Mexico State in Las Cruces, N.M., MacIntyre said.
The suspension effectively ends an unsteady college career for Freeman, a senior backup running back.
The Inglewood native went to the University of Washington out of high school and saw action in four games as a freshman. He transferred to San Jose State and sat out a season under the NCAA's transfer policy.
The highlight of his sophomore season in 2010 was a 72-yard touchdown run against Idaho and he played in 10 games, gaining 163 yards on 39 carries.
Freeman began last season as the starting running back and had 52 yards and a touchdown on eight attempts against UCLA. But he later broke his arm and missed the remainder of the season.
He entered this season as a contender for playing time at running back, but ended up third on the depth chart behind De'Leon Eskridge and Tyler Ervin. His most extensive playing time came in a 31-20 win over Texas State after Ervin injured his shoulder.
Freeman caught a 78-yard touchdown pass -- the team's longest play from scrimmage this season -- and also had a 10-yard touchdown run in that victory.
Ervin's injury also opened up a spot at kick returner for Freeman. But against Idaho, he fumbled the opening kickoff to set up a Vandals' touchdown..
His final numbers this season are 73 yards on 21 carries and two catches for 76 yards. He averaged 17.5 yards on six kick returns.
Jason Simpson served as the backup running back against New Mexico State and will fulfill that role until Ervin returns. Forrest Hightower took over kick return duties against the Aggies.
The status of Kearney, a redshirt freshman, will be evaluated at the end of the season.
"We'll revisit it for spring (practice)," MacIntyre said.
Kearney was a backup wide receiver whose most extensive role was on special teams.
Kearney's season highlight came when he recovered a fumble for a touchdown against the University of Texas at San Antonio. It came on a bad snap on a punt and Kearney and Freeman both raced after it with Kearney securing the recovery.
"He's running and staying in shape and as soon as he's ready, he's going to go," MacIntyre said.
Even though he won't be able to play, MacIntyre said he would travel with the team for a potential bowl game.

"The invitations were beautiful. My daughter loved them. 2 were a little damaged upon arrival other then that they were awesome."
"I received so many comliments about this card for my daughters birthday. The colors are bright and very modern. The only thing that would have made them better was to have the option of having a photo in the back. But, still by far, my favorite card I've ever ordered. It also came earlier than expected, a bonus."
"Just got them in today and the quality is stunning! I am glad I did have a good high resolution picture for this project because the results were beautiful...crisp & clear image! Best invitaion I've ever done for sure =)."
"I made the card for my niece and she absolutely loved it. It would have been great to be able to edit or add more text to the standard wording on the card."

The York County Sheriff's Department is investigating a one-car crash in Waterboro.
Chief Deputy William King said said around 9 p.m. Friday, 44-year-old William Troy of Waterboro lost control of his Ford F-350 near 247 Middle Road in Waterboro.
According to King, the vehicle rolled over and was stopped by a tree. It took emergency crews from Waterboro and Alfred Fire and Rescue departments almost a half-hour to extricate Troy from the truck.
King said emergency crews rushed Troy to Southern Maine Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
According to King, speed, alcohol and black ice are all considered to be factors in the crash.

READ_ME_FIRST: What Do I Do With All of Those SPARC Threads?
By User12608550-Oracle on Aug 02, 2013
Executive Overview
With an amazing 1,536 threads in an Oracle M5-32 system, the number of threads in a single system has never been so high. This offers a tremendous processing capacity, but one may wonder how to make optimal use of all these resources.
In this technical white paper, we explain how the heavily threaded Oracle T5 and M5 servers can be deployed to efficiently consolidate and manage workloads using virtualization through Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle VM Server for SPARC, and Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, as well as how to improve the performance of a single application through multi-threading.

Solves the agonizingly slow redraws that occur when using OpenOffice under X.
An Office app that runs native on Intel Macs! However, it's slow at launching. I wish each component was a separate application. But it reads Excel and Word files very well. Unfortunately I may stick with M$'s Office when they go universal simply for the fact that each app is separate.
Glad to see this one is universial now! :)
Great app, though sometimes frustratingly slow.
I love NeoOffice, I think everyone should use it instead of stealing Microsoft's program, which is not even universal.
