A protocol for the determination of absorbed dose from high‐energy photon and electron beams10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595446View Description Hide Description
A protocol is given to provide radiological physicists with an accurate means of measuring radiation doses on phantoms. Plastics, as well as water, are considered as phantoms. A new quantity, the cavity‐gas calibration factor, is introduced.(AIP)
Determination of x‐ray spectral distribution from transmission measurements using K‐edge filters10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595418View Description Hide Description
Accurate high‐resolution x‐ray spectral distributions can be obtained with an intrinsic germanium crystal. This technique is difficult to implement since it requires expensive, complicated, and bulky equipment. If energy resolution requirements are relaxed, then the above drawbacks can be overcome and an x‐ray spectrometer that is small, inexpensive could be built. A technique that meets these requirements is described here. X‐ray spectra with about 7‐keV resolution can be achieved by obtaining transmission measurements through a number of differentK‐edge filters. Using these measurements, a system of equations is set up and solved giving the required spectral distribution. The technique has been tested using 80, 100, and 120‐kVcp x‐ray beams with total filtrations of 3.78, 5.78, 9.06 mm Al, and 3.78 mm Al+0.137 mm Ho. The results show that the calculated spectra closely resemble tabulated spectra. The errors ranged from 3% to 13%. The half‐value layers (HVL) were also calculated and compared to the HVL obtained from tabulated spectra and were found to differ by about 7%.
Reconstruction of 4‐MV bremsstrahlung spectra from measured transmission data10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595356View Description Hide Description
Transmission data for 4‐MV bremsstrahlung beams have been measured with a combination of lead and aluminum attenuators. From these data, the original energy spectra have been reconstructed using an iterative least‐squares technique, previously evaluated by simulation studies. The spectra on the central axis for three similar 4‐MV linear accelerators indicated no significant differences. When studying the spectra at 5° and 9° off the central axis, that at 9° showed the expected increase of low‐energy photons. All these spectra showed a maximum photon energy of 4.5±0.2 MeV. When the magnetron power was reduced, the spectrum on the central axis shifted to lower energies and the maximum photon energy decreased to 3.5±0.2 MeV. The result of this experimental study confirms the conclusions from the previous simulation, that the numerical technique for analysis of transmission data can accurately represent 4‐MV bremsstrahlung spectra and detect differences in energy distribution with changes in machine tuning and position in the radiation field for a 4‐MV bremsstrahlung beam.
Absorption and noise in cesium iodide x‐ray image intensifiers10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595357View Description Hide Description
The measured and theoretically predicted values of detective quantum efficiency (DQE) for a CsI x‐ray image intensifier are compared for nine monoenergetic beams of x rays. The agreement between measurement and theory of better than ±5% indicates that we have a sound understanding of the physical parameters controlling the DQE. It is shown that the fraction of K‐fluorescent x rays escaping from the input phosphor is independent of incident energy. The number of electrons released within the x‐ray image intensifier (XRII) by an incident x ray has been measured. The mechanism for energy broadening within the XRII is shown to be predominantly the limited number of electrons and not light absorption.
Air activation produced by high‐energy medical accelerators10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595358View Description Hide Description
The activity of 1 5O and 1 3N per unit volume of air produced by a 25 and a 45‐MeV medical accelerator was determined by direct measurement. The accelerators were operated in such a fashion as to produce maximum activation of the treatment room air. Levels of the order of 1% or less of the maximum permissible concentration in air for 1 5O and 1 3N were found immediately after accelerator shutdown. Three different techniques for calibrations of the air detector were investigated.
Selective iodine imaging using lanthanum K fluorescence10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595447View Description Hide Description
Time‐dependent subtraction techniques have tremendously improved the visualization of iodinated vessels. These techniques suffer from motion artifacts, however, since the mask image is acquired several seconds prior to the contrast image. A K‐edge subtraction technique for selectively imaging iodine using the characteristic x rays from a lanthanum secondary target is presented. The K α lines of lanthanum closely straddle the K edge of iodine. A prepatient iodine filter will alter the ratio of K α1 to K α2 intensities; by subtracting two images made with different K α1 /K α2 ratios, iodinated structures can be isolated. Since the method requires no mask image, motion artifacts are reduced. Preliminary images acquired with an image intensifier/photodiode array detector system are shown. Theoretical performance of this method is compared to other iodine‐selective imaging techniques on the basis of exposure and dose. The feasibility of using lanthanum K fluorescence for rapid clinical iodine‐selective imaging is discussed.
Peripheral dose from megavolt beams10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595359View Description Hide Description
The peripheral dose (PD), defined as the dose outside of therapeutic radiation beams, has been investigated for 6 0Co, 4‐, 6‐, and 10‐MV x‐ray machines. The measurements have been carried out down to dose levels of about 0.1% of the peak dose in the beam, since that dose level may be of clinical importance in some situations. The PD measurements for the various machines are qualitatively similar, which allows the identification of a simple basic data set which can characterize the PD for any particular machine. The PD has been separated into two components: in‐phantom scatter dose and transmission (leakage) dose. Knowledge of the two components is important clinically when shielding is considered.
On the significance of very small angle scattered radiation to radiographic imaging at low energies10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595360View Description Hide Description
We have studied the angular distribution of scattered radiation at low energies for angles between 2° and 15° from the outward normal to the exit surface of several phantoms, with 1° resolution. A cryogenically cooled germaniumdetector was used to measure the spectra of the scattered radiation. The differential scattering fluences, or numbers of photons per unit solid angle per unit surface area, exhibit distinct peaks at angles in the vicinity of 5°, with the angular position being only slightly energy dependent but very material dependent. The scattered spectra show large changes as a function of angle, in some cases actually becoming harder than the exit unscattered beam. The significance of this behavior relative to the imaging of targets in mammography examinations is discussed.
A Monte Carlo model for the absorption and flux distributions of light in tissue10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595361View Description Hide Description
A Monte Carlo computer model has been developed to study the propagation of light in tissues. Light attenuation is assumed to result from absorption and isotropic scattering. The model has been used to predict the distribution of absorbed dose in homogeneous tissues of different absorption/scattering ratios, for illumination both by external light beams and via implanted optical fibers. The photon flux into optical fibers placed in the tissue as detectors has also been investigated. The results are interpreted in relation to the use of visible light irradiation for photo radiation therapy.
Beam scanning for heavy charged particle radiotherapy10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595419View Description Hide Description
An important aspect of heavy charged particle radiotherapy is its ability to localize dose to the target volume. Current techniques generally employ beam delivery schemes which use range modulated beams in which the Bragg peak is spread out over a range of depths. The range modulation is constant over the entire beam cross section. This paper examines the potential gain from the use of variable range modulation over the beam cross section which can be achieved through beam scanning. An analytic technique has been developed to calculate a gain factor, related to integral dose, for a number of different charged particle beams. The dependence of the gain factor on tumor depth, diameter, and size has been examined. These analytic results have been compared with computer calculations of treatment plans simulating beam scanning and fixed modulation delivery techniques for actual clinical cases. The rationale for beam scanning, and its potential impact on tumor control is discussed.
Cumulated activities determined from biodistribution data in pregnant rats ranging from 13 to 21 days gestation. I. Tc‐99m pertechnetate10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595347View Description Hide Description
Cumulated activity estimates for Tc‐99m pertechnetate were determined using biodistribution data from pregnant and nonpregnant rats. The pregnant rats were studied at 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21 days gestation. The results indicate that maternal organ cumulated activities are not a simple function of gestational age. The organs into which Tc‐99m pertechnetate enters through passive diffusion follow the pattern established by the blood, generally resulting in an increase from the 13th through the 17th day with a decrease on the 19th and 21st day. The organs dominated by active transport follow unique and different patterns. The fetal cumulated activity estimates increased exponentially with gestational age and the placental estimates increased linearly.
Prospectively gated cardiac computed tomography10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595420View Description Hide Description
A fourth‐generation scanner has been modified to perform p r o s p e c t i v e l y g a t e d cardiac computed tomography (CT). A computer program monitors the electrocardiogram (ECG) and predicts when to initiate the next scan in a gated series in order to acquire all projection data for a desired phase of the heart cycle. The system has been tested with dogs and has produced cross‐sectional images of all phases of the cardiac cycle. Eight to ten scans per series were sufficient to obtain reproducible images of each transverse section in the end‐diastolic and end‐systolic phases. The radiation dose to the skin was ∼1.4 cGy per scan. The prospectively gated system is more than twice as efficient as a retrospectively gated system in obtaining complete angular projection data for a 10% heart cycle window. A temporal smoothing technique to suppress reconstruction artifacts due to sorting inconsistent projection data was developed and evaluated. Image noise was reduced by averaging together any overlapping projection data. Prospectively gated cardiac CT has also been used to demonstrate that the error in attenuation measured with a single n o ngated CT scan through the heart can be as large as 50–60 CT numbers o u t s i d e the heart in the lung field.
Sources of electron contamination for the Clinac‐35 25‐MV photon beam10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595348View Description Hide Description
A detailed Monte Carlo approach has been employed to investigate the sources of electron contamination for the 25‐MV photon beam generated by Varian's Clinac‐35. Three sources of contamination were examined: (a) the flattening filter and beam monitor chamber, (b) the fixed primary collimators downstream from the monitor chamber and the adjustable photon jaws, and (c) the air volume separating the treatment head from the observation point. Five source‐to‐surface distances (SSDs) were considered for a single field size, 28 cm in diameter at 80 cm SSD. It was found that for small SSDs (80–100 cm), the dominant sources of electron contamination were the flattening filter and the beam monitor chamber which accounted for 70% of the unwanted electrons. Thirteen percent of the remaining electrons originated in the downstream primary collimators and the photon jaws, and 17% were produced in air. At larger SSDs, the fraction of unwanted electrons originating in air increased. At 400 cm SSD, 61% of the contaminating electrons present in the beam were produced in air, 34% originated in the flattening filter and beam monitor chamber, and 5% were due to interactions in the fixed collimators downstream from the monitor chamber and the adjustable photon jaws. These calculated results are substantiated by recent experiments.
Evaluation of fetal dose from megavoltage irradiation of the knee and neonate followup10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595349View Description Hide Description
A 24‐yr‐old female patient who was to undergo radiation therapy management for a recurrent low‐grade fibrosarcoma on her right knee was found to be 9 weeks pregnant. The patient and her relatives insisted on carrying the pregnancy to maturity, despite undergoing irradiation of her right knee for local control of her disease and to take the teratological risk, if any, that it entails. This paper discusses the measurement of scattered dose in water, fetal dose estimation in an Alderson–Rando human phantom and possible ways of minimizing it.
Scatter/primary ratios for x‐ray spectra modified to enhance iodine contrast in screen–film mammography10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595350View Description Hide Description
Contrast mammography to detect the uptake of iodine‐containing contrast material may be enhanced by spectral modification of the x‐ray beam. Luminance scatter‐to‐primary ratios were measured for three candidate x‐ray tube anode/filter combinations (Mo/Mo, W/Ce, and Ce/Ce). Results show that scattered radiation is significant for all tubes, is lowest for the Mo/Mo system and is essentially the same for the tungsten and ceriumanode systems.
An overview of errors in line source dosimetry for gamma‐ray brachytherapy10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595351View Description Hide Description
The generally used approach for routine brachytherapydosimetry depends on a value of source strength provided by the source supplier, the theoretical concept of exposure rate constants for different nuclides, and the applicability of inverse square law to point sources. Corrections for filtration of the radiation within the capsule of the source and attenuation in tissue medium are effected based on attenuation coefficients and data published in the literature. Therefore there is no unique or ideal way of selecting the required data and there could be a spread in the dose values derived by different users. The errors inherent in the current practice of dosimetry of linear sources in brachytherapy are discussed. If the brachytherapy sources are specified in terms of exposure rate at a distance from the source by the source suppliers, the overall uncertainty in the dosimetry at regions of clinical interest around the source could be limited to about ±6%.
A Wiener filter for nuclear medicine images10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595352View Description Hide Description
To improve the quality of digital nuclear medicine images, we have developed a new implementation of the Wiener restoration filter. The Wiener filter uses as its optimality criterion the minimization of the mean‐square error between the undistorted image of the object and the filtered image. In order to form this filter, the object and noise power spectrums are needed. The noise power spectrum for the count‐dependent Poisson noise of nuclear medicine images is shown to have a constant average magnitude equal to the total count in the image. The object power spectrum is taken to be the image power spectrum minus the total count, except in the noise dominated region of the image power spectrum where a least‐squares‐fitted exponential is used. Processing time is kept to a clinically acceptable time frame through use of an array processor. Pronounced noise suppression and detail enhancement are noted with use of this filter with clinical images.
A comparison of high‐energy accelerator depth dose data10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595421View Description Hide Description
Accurate depth dose information is necessary for the use of high‐energy radiotherapyphoton beam units. It would be useful, therefore, to have one set of published data available for each different type unit manufactured to which physicists can compare their measured data. Pertinent questions are raised regarding the similarity between accelerators and their central axis depth dose characteristics, the availability of adequate published central axis depth dose data, and the minimum amount of data needed to determine the applicability of published data to a particular machine. Data taken by the Radiological Physics Center (RPC) for 4–10 MV units are analyzed and compared with published data in an attempt to answer these questions.
Some phantom designs for radiation dosimetry and CT applications10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595422View Description Hide Description
Solid phantoms designed with nesting, rotatable cylinders, allow increased flexibility in the positioning of dosimeters or test objects, permitting continuous movement as in a water phantom, but with increased ease of handling. Using such phantoms, measurements can be made at almost any point in the cross section of a phantom, an ability not achievable with currently existing solid or water phantoms. A separate phantom design allows easy measurement at points along circles or radii in a phantom.
Determination of the half‐life of I‐125 encapsulated clinical seeds using a Si(Li) detector10(1983); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.595423View Description Hide Description
The half‐life of two I‐125 encapsulated clinical seeds was measured with a Si(Li) semiconductor detector. Two measurements of each seed yielded an average half‐life of 59.56±0.17 days. The results are discussed in terms of the influence of possible I‐126 contamination and leakage of I‐125 activity through encapsulation. The present results are compared with a frequently cited value of 60.25±0.06 days. The difference between the two values was found to be statistically significant at a 95% confidence level.

If you like football-- well the high schools hit their third games Friday night-- Grand Ledge at Sexton the big one in this area-- take Grand Ledge to move to 3-0 although Sexton is still dangerous despite its first loss last Friday to Monroe, 32-31. Can Okemos move to 3-0 as expected with a home win over 1-1 Everett? Probably. Can Haslett move from 0-2 with a win at home over dangerous Owosso, 1-1? The Vikings sure need a win before facing DeWitt next week.
The game Saturday is Notre Dame at Michigan. A record NCAA crowd expected. More than 114,000 and Michigan doesn't have enough infra structure to do it all smoothly at night but it's on anyway and should be another terrific match up. Earlier in the day, can Michigan State look improved with a win over Florida Atlantic? I'll say yes. Florida Atlantic is awful and that 41-3 loss at Florida last Saturday was no fluke.
And Sunday do the Lions keep their overall 8-game win streak going forward? They are a one point underdog at Tampa Bay. I'll take the Lions. Matt Stafford is too good at quarterback. They won at Tampa last year without him.

Murray: Gays are 'The Most Violent of the Abusers of Children in Our Society'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 6/17/2013 11:05 am
Like other conservative writers, William Murray sees the 1950s as a utopian age, only to be ruined by struggles for civil rights later on. He writes today in WorldNetDaily that America is now suffering the consequences of conservatives having "lost' the culture war "in the 1960s in the midst of bean bag chairs, lava lamps, cheap wine and marijuana smoke" to the left and the gays.
Murray laments that while gays are "the most violent of the abusers of children in our society," they "are treated as a protected class" and helped usher in America's "moral decline."
He also blamed Social Security and Medicare for society's ills—again—and declared that Obamacare is "the final blow" to the American family.
Loving Christian couples often cannot adopt children in the current culture because they are declared bigots for not accepting anal sex as normal. Homosexuals, the most violent of the abusers of children in our society, are treated as a protected class. State welfare offices pay women not to marry the fathers of their children, and the elderly receive funds to disengage from their children and grandchildren and move to warmer climates.
Courts have ruled that a girl 13 or younger can buy an abortion drug – the "morning after" pill – over the counter, and use this powerful drug without permission of parents or a doctor.
During the 1960s, the drug and "gay" counter-culture of San Francisco flourished, and nude bathing at a park in Austin, Texas, began. New York City in the 1960s was far worse than portrayed in the movie "The Cross and the Switchblade"; the city was a hell hole on the edge of bankruptcy. Anti-war protests encouraged by money from the Soviet KGB filled the streets of cities with angry youth, and a communist by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy.
The first major blow to the family was Social Security, the second Medicare and the third welfare. These programs drove Grandma and Grandpa out of the home and to Florida. Free from the responsibility of caring for aging parents, the "me generation" was able to concentrate on pleasure and material success. Religion was seen as simply an impediment to pre-marital sex, divorce, alcohol, drug use, gambling and materialism. The final blow is Obamacare, which takes away even the responsibility of caring for children from families. The safety net is so broad that the family is simply no longer necessary.
Yes, I am very politically incorrect to those on both sides of the fence. The left will say I am gay bashing and against the "progress" of individual freedom from moral restraints and economic worries. The social conservative right will say I have abandoned prayer for our schools. Neither view is true. I am simply being honest about the date the cultural war was lost. The drift to defeat did not begin with the removal of prayer from the schools. The cultural war was lost in the 1960s in the midst of bean bag chairs, lava lamps, cheap wine and marijuana smoke. That loss has led America to its current financial, political and moral decline.

The inspiration for Scallop derives from observations of objects that are grouped on low tables.
Each of the variations includes a recessed area to help frame and organise objects like a vase, magazine, book or your phone. The sunken area also provides a border to keep smaller objects from falling off onto the floor. The uniquely v-shaped tubular legs give balance and lightness whilst still complementing the soft-edged plateau top. The name 'Scallop' means 'To edge with a series of curved projections'.

Cougar Weekly Roundup: October 30, 2013
CHARLESTON, S.C. – It was a relatively light week of action for College of Charleston athletics as men's and women's golf took over Kiawah Island, volleyball stayed undefeated in conference play, sailing won the SAISA Match Race on home water and women's soccer celebrated senior day.
Volleyball (18-4, 8-0) continue to make themselves at home in the Colonial Athletic Association, this time dispatching of rival UNC Wilmington, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon in the friendly confines of TD Arena. The Cougars outmatched the Seahawks in every major statistical category on their way to a comprehensive victory in front of their home fans. Senior Darcy Dorton again led the way for the College with 14 kills, five digs and three blocks. Sloane White, Emily Neideffer and last week's CAA Defensive Player of the Week, Andi Zbojniewicz also played well for the Cougars, who will put their undefeated record on the line this Friday night at 7 p.m., against Towson at home in TD Arena.
Both Men's and Women's Golf headed to Kiawah Island this past weekend where the men hosted The Invitational at the Ocean Course, held at the Kiawah Island Resort and the women hosted the Palmetto Intercollegiate at the Turtle Point golf course.
Freshman Laura Fuenfstueck finished in a tie for second place to lead the women to a fifth-place finish with a team score of 902 (+38). Back-to-back CAA Player of the Week, Fuenfstueck scored runner-up honors for her second consecutive tournament with a three-round score of 69-73-74=216 (E), two strokes behind individual medalist Melissa Siviter of Georgia State who fired a final-round 67 to capture the honors. Also performing well for the Cougars was Morgan Webber, who finished in seventh-place, as well as Louise Olssen and Julia Neumann.
Across the Island, in their final tournament of the fall season, the men finished in sixth-place at the Ocean Course, behind strong play from Zach Munroe and John Jonas. Playing on one of the toughest courses in the country, Jonas provided the highlight of the weekend draining an incredible hole-in-one on Monday with a 203 yard four iron gem on hole 14.
The defending national champion College of Charleston sailing team celebrated another victory this past weekend with a win at the home-hosted SAISA Match Race. Competing against Georgia Tech, Eckerd and the University of South Florida at the Walker Sailing Complex, the Cougars claimed victory on the last race of the day to secure the team win. Ryan Davidson, Brandon Folkman, Ali Blumenthal and Jake Reynolds were the Cougars' top performers.
Women's soccer celebrated senior day this past weekend prior to its match against CAA foe, Drexel. Five seniors were honored, including Jena Mohr, Jade Reynolds, McCallie Jones, Victoria Finchman and Eli Sarasola. Sarah Cardamone, a redshirt junior, also celebrated senior day with the class she's spent the last four seasons with despite having another year of eligibility. In the end, a Jade Reynolds goal wasn't enough as the Cougars eventually fell to the Dragons, 4-1.
In Birmingham, Ala., on Friday night, an upset bid by the men's soccer team was deflated after two late goals from UAB secured a 2-1 victory for the Blazers. Troy Peterson got the goal for the Cougars on an assist from Jake Currie.
CofC STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK sponsored by HARRIS TEETER
Darcy Dorton, Volleyball, RS-Sr., Muncie, Ind. – Dorton led CofC to a 3-0 sweep of UNCW by posting her most kills/set in a CAA match, tallying 14 kills with only three errors for a hitting percentage of .379. She also made five digs and had three blocks.
John Jonas, Men's Golf, So., Jacksonville, Fla. – Jonas, a transfer from LSU, provided the highlight of the tournament for men's golf this past weekend, sinking a hole-in-one at the famed Ocean Course on Kiawah Island. Hitting a four iron from 203 yards away, the sophomore hit his magical shot in front of his mother, who was in the gallery alongside the green. "She was going crazy," said Jonas. "It was special."
INSIDE THE LINES presented by HENDRICK HONDA
This week's Inside the Lines presented by Hendrick Honda keeps up with the volleyball team's perfect CAA record, previews the CAA Cross Country Championships, recaps baseball's Fall World Series and talks with John Jonas after his hole-in-one at the Ocean Course. Fans then get an inside look at the basketball block party from this past Sunday.
Just under two weeks away from the start of the season, the College of Charleston Men's and Women's Basketball teams kicked off the 2013-14 campaign in style on Sunday evening in downtown Charleston, on George Street, where CofC hosted the first annual Basketball Block Party.
Arriving together in a team bus, players and coaches alike were met on the corner of George and St. Philip on Sunday evening by hundreds of cougar faithful excited to get their first look at the year's edition of CofC basketball.
With bounce houses lining the street, as well as a regulation basketball goal, people of all ages spent the evening mingling with the players and coaches while the younger crowd made use of the face painting station, photo booths and balloon maker. With DJ Natty Heavy keeping the party going, senior Alyssa Frye delighted fans with a three-point clinic while redshirt freshman Canyon Barry taught people the nuances of the under-handed free throw.
The women officially open the season at TD Arena on Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. (ET) against Kennesaw State, while the men tip-off Saturday, Nov. 9, at 1 p.m. (ET), on the road against defending national champion, Louisville.

Providence Presbyterian – Lowndesville, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Abbeville County Photos | Providence Presbyterian
Providence Presbyterian Church in the Abbeville County town of Lowndesville was organized in 1841 as a result of the merging of two local smaller churches, New Harmony Presbyterian and Providence. This church was built the following year and originally included a slave gallery as well as a separate entrance for slaves.
Providence Presbyterian was significantly remodeled in 1886. Alterations included removing the slave gallery and adding the building's corner entrance and campanile, or bell tower. The stove that was placed in the church in 1842 remains there today. Providence Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denomination.

What a unique 1886 diagonal entrance modification for this 1841 Presbyterian church.
June 25th, 2014 at 10:11 am
I am searching for information on Mary Elizabeth Goff who was born Oct 30, 1830, in Lownesville, SC. She married 1850 Edward Washington Vann, son of Edward Vann and Rebecca Hinton. The marriage occurred in Madison County, Florida, and she remained there until her death. Is there any information in your records giving Mary E. Goff's parents' names, or anything about the Vann family? A response would be much appreciated…..Thank you

A big snowstorm is headed to the northeast, where snowfall is expected to reach one-to-two feet in some areas. For boat owners whose vehicles are located outdoors, whether they're situated on boat stands out of the water or tied to a dock, the threat of a storm can make them nervous about how their prized possession will hold up with all the wind and ice.
To make sure your boat survives the winter weather, make sure you've weatherized it properly. Here are some tips for preventing damage:
- Cover the decks. The easiest way to prevent snow from accumulating is to simply tie down a solid, resilient cover that won't blow off when the wind kicks up.
- If your vessel is sitting on stands in a boatyard, make sure they're secure and that they haven't been dislodged in any way by winds or someone accidentally bumping them.
- Remove your trolling motor if it's still connected to the boat and store it in your home. These aren't typically attached to the boat very strongly, so a good gust of wind could knock them loose.
- You may want to consider running some antifreeze through your engine if you didn't do so when you winterized your boat a few months ago.
By properly winterizing your boat, you can rest assured that when you go to check up on it after the storm dies down, none of your boat parts will need to be repaired or replaced. If you don't have the accessories, such as a winter cover, that you need to protect your boat from these storms, make sure you check out the latest weatherproof covers we have at ePal.

Palin Says She's Open to Releasing Her Medical Records
Elizabeth Holmes reports from Green, Ohio, on the presidential race.
Sarah Palin is open to releasing her medical records, the GOP vice-presidential candidate said during an interview Wednesday with Brian Williams from NBC Nightly News.
During a discussion between Williams, Palin and her running mate John McCain, Williams asked Palin about the records, which the campaign has kept private.
"If that will allow some curiosity seekers perhaps to have one more thing that they either check the box off that can find something to criticize or to rest them assured over," Palin said. "I'm healthy, happy and I've had five kids."
Palin said she's never been seriously hurt or injured, saying that that would be evident "if" the records are released.
Palin, an avid runner and outdoorswoman, gave birth to her fifth child just last April. She delivered a speech in Texas very near to the birth of her son, who has Down syndrome, and flew back home to Alaska despite signs that she had begun labor. Palin hid her pregnancy for nearly seven months before making it public, stirring completely unsubstantiated rumors that the child is not hers.
The network, which will air the sit-down in two parts beginning this evening, released only short excerpts of the interview—all focused on Palin.

Preparing for Your Hospital Stay - Topic Overview
Not all hospital stays begin in the emergency room. Sometimes you have time to prepare for a scheduled hospital stay. But even when you don't have an emergency medical problem, getting ready to go to the hospital may leave you feeling overwhelmed and even a little stressed. By taking steps to prepare for your stay ahead of time, you can get control of some of that stress and save that energy for feeling better as soon as possible.
Plan ahead for those medical bills
Most insurance plans require that you let them know ahead of time about your hospital stay. If you don't, there's a risk that the plan will refuse to cover your stay.
You'll also want to make sure that the hospital you're going to is covered under your plan.
If you have no insurance
If you don't have insurance, call the hospital's billing department before your stay and ask them what they can do to help you. Many hospitals have financial counselors. They will likely arrange a payment plan for you. They may even offer you a discount.
Your hospital may offer a larger discount if you pay all or some of the bill ahead of time. You may also be able to negotiate with various care providers to lower the cost of your stay and treatment.
If you have little or no income, you may qualify for a hospital's charity care program or government assistance.
Make your wishes known to loved ones
Before you go into the hospital, fill out a living will and medical power of attorney.
It's smart to have these documents ready-and to make sure your loved ones know where they are-because in the unlikely event that they're needed, they will be a huge help to your family.
- Living willLiving will. This is a document that states your wishes about end-of-life medical treatment if you are unable to speak for yourself.
- Medical power of attorney. This document names a health care agent, someone you choose who will make medical decisions on your behalf when you're not able to do so.

The University of Washington participates in the major federal student loan programs to give our students the full range of options available for paying for college. We know that students would prefer to receive grants and scholarships, but the reality is that many of our students must rely on loans to help pay for their education. The federal loan programs offer a secure, government-regulated, reasonably affordable way to invest in yourself and your goal of a higher education.
Federal Student Loan Program
Student loans are financial obligations that must be repaid. Pay careful attention to the terms and conditions of any loan you accept to help pay for school. Do not borrow more than you need or can repay comfortably after leaving school.
Short-Term Loan Program
The Office of Student Financial Aid has funds available for short-term loans to assist students with temporary cash flow problems. Funds are generally available within one to four working days, only to students who are currently attending the university (loans cannot be processed between quarters). Repayment is due by the next quarter, or whenever additional funds such as financial aid arrive on account, whichever comes first. There is no interest on the short-term loans, but there is a service charge added to the repayment amount.
Students may apply online through MyUW under "Personal Services." Paper application forms are also available in the Financial Aid Office, but the processing time is longer.

VESTAL, N.Y. -- Senior Terrance Hill scored 21 points and the Morehead State men's basketball team forced 21 turnovers in a 64-45 win over Binghamton on Monday night at BU's Events Center.
The Eagles improve to 5-7 overall with the victory, while the Bearcats slip to 0-9 on the season. MSU has now won both meetings in the all-time series against Binghamton.
Morehead State posted a 31-19 scoring advantage in the second half by forcing 12 BU turnovers and limiting the home team to just 29 percent from the field (6-of-21).
"Our press wore Binghamton down and it helped us force 21 turnovers," Morehead State Head Coach Donnie Tyndall said. "I was also pleased with our half-court defense. Binghamton has a few guys who can knock down shots, but we were there on the catch and we didn't let them dribble by us."
Hill tallied his ninth double-figure scoring effort of the campaign on 6-of-11 from the field, 4-of-6 from three-point land and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line. He also registered a team-best four steals, three rebounds and two assists in just 23 minutes.
Junior Marsell Holden recorded 10 points for the Eagles on 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Junior Milton Chavis contributed eight points, while junior Kahlil Owens and freshman Will Bailey added six apiece.
Owens also pulled down a team-high six rebounds and came up with both of MSU's blocked shots.
"I thought we had six or seven really good practices this past week, and that carried over to tonight's game," Tyndall said. "There's no doubt in my mind that, if you practice well, you will play well."
Morehead State used all 14 of its players en route to a 23-5 scoring advantage off the bench.
The Eagles knocked down 47 percent from the field (21-of-45), while limiting the Bearcats to a 37 percent clip (16-of-43). MSU also connected on 40 percent from long range (8-of-20), while holding BU to just 13 percent (2-of-15).
Both teams shot above their season average at the free-throw line. Morehead State drilled 88 percent (12-of-15), while Binghamton swished 92 percent (11-of-12).
Freshman Ben Dickinson led the Bearcats with 12 points, four rebounds and four assists, while sophomore Robert Mansell added 11 points and a pair of steals.
Morehead State returns to Johnson Arena on Friday when it hosts Mid-American Conference opponent Ball State at 6 p.m. ET. Fans who purchase a ticket to Friday's game will receive a free ticket to MSU's Dec. 31 home doubleheader against Ohio Valley Conference foe Austin Peay.
"The Ball State game will be another big test for us," Tyndall added. "Ball State was picked to win their side of the MAC, and they've already beaten a very good Butler team. We are very proud of our fan base back in Morehead and we need everyone to be at Johnson Arena on Friday night."

Oil Prices: Rising Supplies Help Explain Plunging Crude
Here's one simple reason oil prices keep falling: OPEC has steadily been pumping more oil than it was this spring, putting more crude on a market already awash in the stuff and further depressing prices.
OPEC nominally still has big oil-production cuts in place, but cartel members such as Iran and Angloa—both suffering from the recession—are looking for revenue in extra barrels of crude. Compliance among OPEC's 11 quota-bound members was down to 68% in June, after reaching 80% earlier this year, according to the International Energy Agency.
That compliance rate is par for the course, historically. But it means that since April, OPEC increased production by about 330,000 barrels a day. And additional oil has hit the market from other sources, the IEA says. Since demand is still fairly week and inventories are still bulging, that extra crude is simply feeding oil bears.
Crude oil futures were down almost 2% to $59.31 in midday trading.
The extra oil is coming from lots of places, in addition to countries backsliding on quotas. Iraq, not subject to output limits, raised production from April to June by 130,000 barrels a day, and has plans to pump another 100,000 to 250,000 barrels in coming months. Natural-gas liquids are also on the rise, the IEA says—NGL production in OPEC states will increase 850,000 barrels a day between now and 2010.
Even non-OPEC countries are pumping more these days. Non-OPEC supply is now expected to rise by almost 200,000 barrels a day this year—compared with a previous forecast of a 100,000 barrel decline, and could increase by another 400,000 barrels next year.
Anybody looking for an explanation for oil's biggest weekly drop since January might just want to take a gander at fundamentals, as quaint an idea as that may seem when it comes to oil prices.

Skype for Business Has Security Flaw, Researcher says
A researcher found Wednesday a security flaw which allows hackers to track the locations of users of the business version of Skype. The flaw in the consumer version has been known since November 2010, but has not been patched. CIO Journal asked the researchers to test the business version Wednesday. Microsoft, which owns the Skype service, would not comment beyond a prepared statement saying it was "investigating reports" of the flaw.
The business version of Skype might seem like a good way for CIOs to balance security and compliance needs against increasing pressure from employees to allow consumer technology into the workplace. Skype said last year about 37% of its 663 million community members already used the "Skype product platform occasionally or often for business-related purposes." But today's test, conducted at the request of CIO Journal, shows the business version users are no more protected from being tracked.
Stevens Le Blond, a researcher at Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Germany, found he was able to learn the location of a Skype member by using the same backdoor he used to track users of the consumer version of the product.
"It uses the same core, there are just some superficial differences in functionality," Le Blond said.
Researchers from INRIA, a research institute in France, and the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, first warned Skype of the vulnerability in the consumer version of the product in November 2010, Le Blond said, but the flaw still has not been fixed. The research, which was published in October 2011, showed the team was able to track the IP addresses of 10,000 Skype users for two weeks. IP addresses, which are numeric codes that identify every device connected to the World Wide Web, can easily be traced back to a user's city or workplace.
The researchers note the vulnerability could allow corporate rivals to track the movement of individuals from a given company as they travel between cities and states, potentially revealing business strategy. "I could see if you are going to visit people. This is all related to location," Le Blond said.
The researchers are also able to track smartphone users who use the Skype app with the same accuracy if they are on a wireless Wi-Fi connection. Smartphone users connecting to Skype over a cellular network are more difficult to trace accurately, they said.
Skype and Microsoft declined numerous requests to comment on the security gap, saying in an e-mail statement said they are "investigating reports of a new tool that captures a Skype user's last known IP address."
Until today the research team was unsure whether the security gap existed in the enterprise version of software. Skype's Business Version features the same video and chat features as the consumer version, but allows companies to name an administrator who can manage employee accounts and payments. And IT managers can deploy and update the software at the same time to all employees using the service. On its site, Skype does not claim the business version of the software has greater security than the consumer version.
Microsoft's purchase of Skype, closed in October 2011, means the company is likely to embed the software in many of its consumer platforms, analysts say. Skype is already part of Microsoft's consumer version of Office 365, an online software suite. But Skype is not on the enterprise version of the software. Henry Dewing, an analyst at Forrester Research, says it's unlikely that Microsoft would make Skype part of its business offerings.
Making Skype part of its enterprise Office suite, for example, would cause too much confusion, as Microsoft already offers Lync, a separate Internet calling service for businesses. The goal with voice-over-IP technology is to have fewer overlapping systems – not more, Dewing said.
By adding Skype to its offering, Microsoft would just be "adding layers of complexity," Dewing said.
While many employees use Skype individually, few companies make it a primary communication tool because of its spotty reliability and inability to make emergency 911 calls, Dewing said. He also questions whether the flaw is risky.
"You're exposing your location – but is that really so bad?" he said.

The word chairman found itself accused of sexism in the 1970s, with critics opposed to the way it combined the notion of power with a grammatical gender bias. Two neutral alternatives were proposed, chair (which was actually recorded in this sense in the 17th century) and the neologism chairperson. Both terms faced initial resistance, and although they have now become accepted in standard English, the Oxford English Corpus shows that they are still far less common than chairman.

All-America City Tupelo
Tupelo's recent designation as a winner of one of the 10 All-America Cities awards for this year is a marketing and public relations bonanza.
The awards, given by the National League of Cities, carry quite a bit of national publicity and allow local officials to trumpet the award for everything from tourism to economic development.
Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr. likened winning the award to winning a national championship in sports and said the ripple effect of it will be felt for a long time.
What's even more significant is that Tupelo has managed to win the award four times. The others were in 1967, 1989 and 1999.
Tupelo's entry this year focused on the Fairpark area, which turned a blighted area of downtown into a park, a new city hall, restaurants, businesses and a hotel. It also focused on efforts of the mayor's task forces on education and health and the Greenhouses at Traceway, a senior-living development.
Tupelo certainly gets kudos for the award and for being willing to spend thousands of dollars to create the presentation for judges and the surrounding hoopla necessary to get considered.
The city leadership thinks big, something that we sometimes quibble about here in New Albany.
But it seems to us that the award tends to mask very real problems facing Tupelo—especially real or perceived issues with the schools, middle-class white flight out of the city, and a stagnant population.
These are issues that could lead to the city's decline and will take much more than a public relations extravaganza to turn around over the next decade.

Something that never fails to amuse me are the covers of the tabloid newspapers one sometimes sees at the supermarket. Their headlines make the most outrageous claims, and their photographs are, shall we say, rather sensational. If they're to be believed, Elvis is alive and well, and our planet is populated with aliens from space.
Most of us scoff at such stories and recognize that they're pure and utter nonsense. But what would we do if, one day, while standing in the checkout line, we read a cover story which proclaimed: "Thirtysomething Carpenter Rises from the Dead Three Days After Execution?" We'd do a bit of a double take, because that's exactly what you and me and a billion other Christians around the globe believe and celebrate this Easter morning. And yes, like it or not, it's as outrageous as any tabloid headline.
What we commemorate today with great joy and fanfare is the simple but astonishing truth that Jesus is alive. Jesus of Nazareth, born over two thousand years ago, raised by a simple carpenter and his humble wife, and who died the death of a common criminal, is alive, even as we speak! The Jesus about whom we read in Scripture is watching over us at this very moment, pleading on our behalf to his heavenly Father. In fact, he's here with us right now, at this very church, because he promised us that whenever two or three are gathered together in his name, he would be there in the midst of them. And in just a matter of minutes, at the altar right behind me, Jesus will become present to us in a very special and real way, in the sacrament of his Body and Blood.
Jesus Christ, here in our town: Who would have guessed it? And yet it's absolutely true: Jesus has broken the bonds of death, he has risen from the tomb, good has triumphed over evil, and we receive the gift of forgiveness and the hope of everlasting life. Thanks be to God! As we sung in today's Psalm: "The right hand of the Lord has triumphed; the right hand of the Lord is exalted! This is the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful in our eyes."
Nevertheless, many people shake their heads in disbelief, just as we do at absurd tabloid headlines. "How can Christians, in our enlightened, technologically advanced age, believe such foolish nonsense?" they ask. It's not an unfair question. We have to admit that believing what we believe involves a giant leap of faith. Jesus' disciples, his closest friends, who had heard him predict his resurrection, and who had witnessed his miracles- which included restoring the dead to life- even they scoffed when they first heard of the resurrection.
When Mary Magdalene ran and told them about the angels and the empty tomb, they dismissed her story as a silly wives' tale, a hysterical delusion, perhaps even a lie. It wasn't until Jesus appeared to all of them in person, as they sat down for dinner, that they finally accepted the truth. And just to make sure that they didn't mistake him for a ghost or think that they were hallucinating, Jesus asked for and ate a broiled fish.
Like the disciples, there are many today who find talk of the resurrection a bit hard to swallow; they just can't fathom the reason for our Easter joy. But yet here we are, gathered in this place to celebrate an event and profess our belief in something our neighbors may think utterly absurd. God has touched our lives in some way, and we have bowed our heads in gratitude and said, "Yes Lord, I believe!"
But you know what? Big deal! So what if we believe in the resurrection? As my mother often says, "That and ten cents won't buy you a cup of coffee." Or to quote Jesus himself: "Even the demons believe- and shudder!" You see, belief in the resurrection won't do us a lick of good unless we allow the Resurrected One to change our lives. Our gathering here this morning is of no consequence whatsoever unless we allow the Lord to mold us into his image.
Those first disciples who had once found it so hard to believe: How did the resurrected Jesus change their lives? Most of them gave their life for him. Which begs the question: What is Jesus worth to you? An occasional Sunday morning? Or is he worth your life? There is no better day than today on which to renew our faith and allow Jesus to begin transforming us. As we heard
Allow the joy of this day to re-kindle the fire of your love for God; approach the altar with a renewed intention to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Receive the Body and Blood of Jesus with the resolution to go forth into the world, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to serve him wherever and whenever he chooses. Let Jesus take control of your entire life. Don't, for heaven's sake, pigeonhole him into a little corner at the fringes of your life labeled "religion." Instead, let the joy of this day fill your hearts and minds with a new zeal for the faith once delivered to the saints.
Jesus Christ has indeed overcome death and opened for us the gate of everlasting life. Without a doubt, this is an outrageous, but most wonderful truth. The Lord is risen; He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
