BARACK OBAMA (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) by Calvin Woodard WASHINGTON (AP) — It's as if the United States has two governments, one open and one very much not. President Barack Obama leads both, trying not to butt heads with himself. Since becoming president, Obama has churned out an impressive stream of directives flowing from his promise to deliver "the most transparent administration in history." He established a center devoted to declassifying records and making them public. He announced an open government initiative. Dizzying quantities of information poured into public databases. New ways were devised to show taxpayers how their money is spent. Allegiance was pledged to the rule of law. Then there's the other government. It prosecutes leakers like no administration before it. It exercises state-secrets privileges to quash court cases against it. It hides a vast array of directives and legal opinions underpinning government actions — not just intelligence and not all of it about national security. Now it's known to conduct sweeping phone-records and Internet surveillance of ordinary people in programs kept on the lowdown until an employee of a National Security Agency contractor revealed them. Dick Cheney said this would happen.

To provide the highest quality of
mammography clinical services, to educate the next generation of
radiologists about breast imaging, and to collaborate with our Cancer Center
colleagues in breast cancer research at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
The Breast Imaging faculty consists
of three, fellowship-trained, board-certified radiologists.
Lara Hardesty, M.D. is an
Associate Professor, with 16 years of post-fellowship experience in Breast
Amy Yactor, M.D. is an Assistant Professor.
Together we offer full range of
clinical breast imaging services, which includes screening digital mammography,
diagnostic digital mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI.
All screening mammograms at the
University of Colorado Hospital Breast Imaging Center and the Lone Tree Breast
Center are performed using Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), a new
mammographic technology that increases cancer detection rates while lowering
the number of women who are unnecessarily recalled for additional testing.
The "Pink Lifesaver", our mobile screening
mammography unit, offers women the convenience of screening mammography in
their neighborhoods, increasing their compliance with screening mammography
Computer Aided Detection (CAD)
software is utilized on all mammograms and on breast MRIs. All of our breast
imaging physicians are highly skilled in the performance of image guided
percutaneous breast biopsies and preoperative needle localizations, including
those performed using stereotactic guidance, ultrasound guidance, and MRI
We also serve as a second opinion
referral center for patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer in the Rocky
Mountain region via our faculty's participation in the University of
Colorado Hospital's weekly Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Conference and
ResidentsThe one-on-one training that
radiology residents receive during their three months on the breast imaging
service, including daily teaching conferences, is highly praised. Our own Dr.
Hardesty was honored by the residents with the Teacher of the Year Award in
2009. Additionally, our faculty provide the Breast Imaging Core Lecture Series
and monthly case conferences for all radiology residents.
FellowshipsOur one year fellowship in Breast
Imaging provides advanced training in all aspects of breast imaging and the
opportunity to participate in ongoing research projects.
Medical Students
Dr. Hardesty lectures monthly to third and fourth-year medical students
enrolled in the Radiology Elective rotation.
The breast imaging section has
several ongoing projects evaluating current breast imaging techniques and
questions encountered in daily clinical practice.
There is ongoing collaboration with University
of Colorado Medical Oncologist Dr. Anthony Elias on ISPY-2, a
multi-institutional trial of the use of serial breast MRIs to evaluate the
effects of new neoadjuvent chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of advanced
breast cancer. There is also an additional collaboration with University of
Colorado Medical Oncologist Dr. Virginia Borges to investigate the involutional
changes in normal breast tissue after lactation ceases.

Lottery Doesn't Pay
There is a fight brewing to save the last glimmer of the American dream.
No, we're not talking about the dream of owning a home, a feat that is less common in the U.S. today than any time since 1967. Nor are we talking about the idea of sending your children to college so they can have a better life, a reality threatened by the fast rise in student loan defaults. And of course we're not talking about the ability to retire because, well, let's be honest: that dream is shot to hell.
The fight is to preserve what could more accurately be called the insurance policy for the American dream: winning the lottery.
When all else fails, as it too often does, you have the option to spend money you do not really have on lottery tickets you should not really buy in the hopes that it just might (but probably won't) pay for the dream you hoped hard work and a smooth functioning economy would provide. (Even though the lotto often ends up funding a nightmare of robberies, divorce and general burnout from the sudden wealth.)
In recent weeks, however, it has come to light that one state is reneging on this all-important obligation. The Illinois Lottery has stopped paying out prizes of $25,000 or more to winners as lawmakers have yet to pass a budget for the state which is about $5 billion in the red.
The money for the prizes is there, according to previous statements from Illinois Lottery officials, but the "legal authority" to issue the payments is not.
It's an issue that affects only a small number of people in the state who hit a jackpot of that size, but last week, two of those winners generated a disproportionate number of headlines and reactions online by filing a lawsuit against the Illinois Lottery demanding it cease lottery ticket sales and make immediate payments to the winners. The suit leaves open the possibility to represent other winners-in-waiting.
As Daniel Chasteen, one of the lotto winners ($250,000, in his case) behind the suit,explained to The Wall Street Journal, "You dream about winning the lottery all your life and it finally happened, and you don't get paid."
The idea of spending a lifetime dreaming of winning the lottery is sad enough, but the second half of the sentence damn near breaks your heart.
Some, like the editorial board at the Chicago Tribune, the paper of record in the region, appear to be scratching their heads at the fuss around this issue, of all issues.
"This isn't a problem that affects a lot of people," the paper wrote in an editorial on Monday, listing off the many ways that the state's budgetary crisis will hurt workers, retirees, students. "Perhaps two dozen winners are awaiting their checks."
The temporary halt on lotto jackpot payments may only affect a few individuals, but it cuts to the heart of two beliefs among many Americans: that the government should play fair and straight with us and our money — and that we have a right to dream irresponsibly big, all the more so as our modest dreams for a home, a steady job, a good education for our kids and a safe retirement slip out of reach.
Perhaps this incident will shake some from that more farfetched dream and encourage those in Illinois and beyond to re-double their efforts to be smart with their money and push for local legislators to do the same. If not, there are still dozens of other states where you can hope to win a lottery jackpot right now. To borrow from the wise words of the Illinois Lottery motto: "Anything's possible."

Oh the possibilities! Canadian Lottery Options
While I can assume that most of you visiting this site already have experience playing the lottery, I thought it might be helpful for newbies and those who wish to brush up on lottery choices available to us in Canada.
There are a number of Canadian Lotteries throughout the country both national and provincial.
There currently are two national Canadian Lotteries:
– Lotto 6/49
– Lotto Max
Lotto 6/49 is the most popular national Canadian Lottery, established in 1982 and the first nationwide game that allowed lottery players to choose their own numbers (can you imagine??) The game was originally played for $1 per ticket, but after 22 years in existence, the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation felt it necessary to increase the price. A survey was conducted, interviewing 4,500 Canadians who desired larger jackpot prices, agreeing an increase to $2 per ticket was acceptable. The original Canadian Lottery rarely exceeded a jackpot of $10 million – now the jackpot begins at $4 million, often reaching as high as $25 million.
The rules of Lotto 6/49 are simple and can probably be guessed by the name alone. Players select 6 numbers out of 1-49, or choose Quick Pick to let the Lottery Terminal select numbers for you. Select how many draws you wish to play for, 1 through 25. Each ticket cost $2 (example: a single ticket marked for 5 draws = $10). Canadian Lotto 6/49 is drawn every Saturday and Wednesday. Six numbers are drawn, followed by one bonus number. The jackpot prize is won by matching all six regular numbers. Match 5 regular numbers plus the bonus ball and you'll win a very large sum, but not the jackpot. The lowest winning combination is 2 numbers + bonus number, awarding $5.00 ( I'll still take it!)
Odds of winning Canadian Lotto 6/49:
Jackpot – 1 in 13,983,816
Any Prize – 1 in 32.3
Lotto Max is a Canadian lottery game that began sales on September 19, 2009 replacing the Lotto Super 7. The first set of winning numbers were drawn on September 25, 2009, and subsequent draws have been held every Friday.
For a $5 wager, a player chooses seven numbers from a field of 49. These are printed on a ticket with two additional sets of seven randomly generated numbers. Prizes are awarded based on how many numbers in each set on a ticket match the drawn numbers, with a minimum of three matching numbers required to win any prize. The jackpot is capped at $50 million, beyond which additional draws are conducted for $1 million each (the "Maxmillions" bonus draws).
The longest streak of $50 million jackpots in Lotto Max has been four weeks. The June 4, 2010 draw was estimated at the $50 million prize cap, with five "Maxmillions" draws. Subsequent drawings had 20 Maxmillions (June 11), 45 Maxmillions (June 18), and 49 "Maxmillions" (June 25). The June 25 jackpot drawing resulted in two winning tickets, one from Newfoundland and the other from Saskatchewan. Of the June 25 "Maxmillions" drawings, 26 were not won, and so those prize funds were rolled back into the July 1 Lotto Max drawing, making that week's prize pool $33.2 million.
Canadian Lotteries – Provincial
Various provinces of Canada hold their own lottery drawings, including Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Atlantic regions and Western regions.
Provincial Canadian Lotteries – Ontario
Ontario offers a host of Canadian Lotteries offering tickets and draws each and every day of the week. These include Daily Keno, Lottario, Ontario 49, Pick 3, Winner Take All, Encore and Instant Gift Pack.
Provincial Canadian Lotteries – Quebec
Quebec offers an array of fun lotto games including Quebec 49, Jour de Paye, Banco, La Mini, La Quotidienne 3, La Quotidienne 4 and Joker. Banco, La Quotidienne 3, La Quotidienne 4 and Joker are each held daily.
Provincial Canadian Lotteries – British Columbia
British Columbia presents 3 provincial Canadian Lotteries, the BC 49, BC Extra and BC Pick 3. Extra and Pick 3 lotto draws are held every day. The BC 49 is drawn each Wednesday and Saturday.
Provincial Canadian Lotteries – Atlantic Canada
The Atlantic Lottery Corporation provides lotto gaming for 4 provinces of Canada – Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Residents of this region can buy tickets for the following provincial Atlantic Canada Lottery drawings: Atlantic TAG, Atlantic 49, Twist, Bucko, Millionaire Life, Atlantic Payday, Atlantic Keno and PIK4.
Provincial Canadian Lotteries – Western Canada
The Western Canada Lottery Corporation provides lotto games for the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Western Canadian Lotteries include Western 49, Western PayDay, Pick 3 and Extra. Both Pick 3 and Extra are held daily, PayDay is drawn each Thursday and Western 49 is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday.
So basically what Im saying here is that no matter where you are in Canada, you have many choices to play!
Good luck and don't forget when you win who gave you all the great advice:)

I've had so many job applications come through that my computer grinds to a halt and my computer crashes because the applications page isn't paginated and it just list all of them in a ginormous list.
I can't really delete them because I guess there are laws requiring you keep applications for at least a year.
Functionality to filter applications older then 1 year would be great, but I'm more worried about my application page not crashing.
Thanks! Keep up the good work!

NEW YORK — Robust top-line growth led to even more robust bottom-line gains for Christopher & Banks Corp. in the second quarter and first half.
This story first appeared in the September 26, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
For the three months ended Aug. 31, the Minneapolis-based specialty retailer reported a 30.4 percent surge in net earnings to $6.9 million, or 26 cents a diluted share. That compares with last year's profits of $5.3 million, or 20 cents. Earnings per share matched Wall Street's consensus estimate.
Sales for the period ascended 27.8 percent to $73.9 million from $57.8 million last year, as same-store sales gained 6 percent.
"While we are very satisfied with our year-to-date results, the retail environment remains challenging," said chief executive officer Bill Prange in a statement. "Based on month-to-date results, which we believe have been impacted by a slowdown in customer traffic and spending, we anticipate September same-store sales will be essentially flat with last year. We continue to plan for mid-single-digit increases in same-store sales for the remainder of the fall and holiday seasons and we believe we are well positioned to achieve this stronger performance as external conditions improve."
Earnings growth was also fueled by a 130-basis-point improvement in gross margin.
In a conference call with analysts, chief operating officer Joseph Pennington said the 6 percent same-store sales gain was driven primarily by woven tops, bottoms and sweaters, as well as strong performance in C&B's outerwear segment. Geographically, the Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions reported the largest same-store gains.
Regarding September's anticipated flat comps, Pennington attributed the stagnation to the warmer-than-usual weather in the first three weeks of the month, which hurt sales of outerwear and woven tops.
Overall, for the first half of the fiscal year, net income gained 40.7 percent to $16.7 million, or 63 cents a diluted share, from $11.9 million, or 46 cents, a year ago.
Sales for the period increased 31.4 percent to $151.6 million from $115.4 million, and same-store sales grew 8 percent.
During the quarter, the company opened 18 stores, bringing the total number launched in the first six months to 63. C&B plans to open 30 new stores in the third quarter, which would exceed the company's original plan of opening 90 new stores by yearend. The company has 411 stores in 32 states.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 241734 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 1234 PM CDT WED AUG 24 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday) Issued at 342 AM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Summary: There are low chances of showers and storms early today, but the Northland can expect a clearing trend from this west this afternoon. Thursday will be cool and cloudy. As of early this morning: A shortwave trough was lifting through Wisconsin, upper Michigan, and Lake Superior region. There were associated storms across northeast Iowa to central Wisconsin, and showers as far north as northwest Wisconsin. There was an area of low pressure over the border between northwest Ontario and Manitoba, and its cold front stretch south through western Minnesota. There were isolated light showers along the cold front. Much of the Northland had partly to mostly cloudy skies. The temperatures were primarily in the lower and middle 60s. Early this morning: Parts of northwest Wisconsin will likely get showers, and maybe some weak thunderstorms, as the shortwave trough continues lifting through the region. There is a low chance of showers and weak storms along the cold front as moves into the western forecast area. Late this morning and this afternoon: There will be a clearing trend from the west in the wake of the cold front moving east through the Northland. Most of the models have no shower/storm development along the front, with the exception of the HRRR and RAP over northern Minnesota, which warranted low chances of pcpn for the Iron Range, Ely, and inland Arrowhead areas. The sunny skies, breezy westerly flow, and dry humidity this afternoon will promote good heating, so leaned on the warmer model guidance, such as the local wrf and 4 km NAM. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Park Point, downtown Duluth, and the city of Superior will experience downslope warming from the westerly flow, so bumped up the forecast for those areas to around 85 degrees. Tonight: An upper level low will be over southern Manitoba by tonight, and it will shift into Ontario by dawn Thursday. Cooler air will begin to pour into the Northland. Mostly clear skies and light winds speeds overnight should let temperatures drop to the lower and middle 50s. Thursday: The upper low will move east across northwest Ontario, and the Northland can expect cool and breezy weather. The west- northwest flow, with gusts to around 20 mph, will advect 850 hpa temperatures around 6 degrees Celsius. The cool and humid air aloft, combined with the synoptic lift from the upper low/trough, will contribute to the development of widespread broken/overcast cumulus by the early afternoon. Scattered showers and isolated weak storms are forecast for far northern Minnesota. Leaned on the cooler GFS model guidance since the extensive cloud cover will discourage heating, so highs are forecast to range from the lower 60s across the Borderland to the low 70s across northwest Wisconsin. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 342 AM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Thursday night through Friday to be relatively quiet across the region with cyclonic flow still producing some showers over the arrowhead Thursday night. These will end by Friday morning as a ridge of high pressure builds across the area. A large, longwave trough to move across the Rockies and towards the Midwest for this upcoming weekend, bringing chances for showers and thunderstorms to the area beginning Friday night and continuing through early Sunday depending on the model and the speed at which it brings that upper level trough through the area. The GFS is a little faster than the ECWMF this morning and for now favor this solution. Have kept at least some chance pops going through much of this period. Early next week still has a significant amount of disagreement between the models, with intermittent shower and thunderstorm chances through Wednesday.

Good luck.
I have it working with subdomains just fine. I am not sure if it works with subdirectories though as I have never tried it or know anyone that has.
It works with both subdirectories and subdomains.
I've just installed this. It created the 'tags' blog but it's empty:
and the 'Enabled' checkbox on the options page is unchecked after saving it as checked.
Any advice on resolving this is much appreciated.
Ah, OK. It only shows tags from blogs created after the plugin has been installed.
The "phantom checkbox" problem is quite common seeing as it's a bug in the plugin! Thankfully it was a simple one, and a 30 second fix. I've emailed Donncha so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
After having the same problem myself, I figured out that it was a simple bug in the plugin causing the issue. Here's all you need to do to solve the issue.
Line 40 of sitewide-tags.php has an if() line in it telling the plugin to output a certain code if it's enabled. This code will make the checkbox checked! However, rather than outputting the correct code, 'checked="checked"', it was simply outputting 'checked'. Just copy and paste in a new line 40:
<input name="tags_blog_enabled" type="checkbox" id="tags_blog_enabled" value="1" <?php if( get_site_option( 'tags_blog_enabled', 0 ) == 1 ) { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?>" /> <?php _e("Enabled","wpmu-sitewide-tags"); ?>

And things should work just fine. Tell your friends ;)
Thanks Dave. The "checked" code always worked for me in Firefox but I've changed the plugin now if you want to download the development version to test it.
look like is not working on WPMU 2.7.x even with changes mentioned by @davemoyer
Still can't get tags.mywpmu.xxx to show sitewide tags

Jul. 23, 1879
Sep. 7, 1976
Copyrighted by Catherine Byron and Marilyn Ballagh 2003
From Tartan Tales: Immigrants from Scotland to South Eastern Montana compiled by Jack McRae and Tootie Zook.
Agnes Murray was born on the Banks of Brechin, Forfar, Scotland, on July 23, 1879. Her parents were Alexander Murray and Agnes (Latto) Love Murray. Agnes Latto's father and uncle worked on the ships that transported Scottish emigrants from Glasgow, Scotland, to Auckland, New Zealand. Anges Latto's first husband, James Love (1835 - 1865) was a stonemason who died at the age of thirty before the couple had any children. As a young widow, Agnes Latto Love wore a bronze satin dress trimmed with ecru and beige lace for a wedding dress when she married Alexander Murray.
Alexander Murray worked as a coachman and kept the horses for the "swells," at Ardwall, Gatehouse of Fleet, Dunfrewshire, in Southern Scotland. The coachman was an expert horseman, and had a staff to look after the horses' feeding, bedding and grooming. He drove the elegant carriages with a groom seated beside him ready to hop down to open the carriage door. He knew he legendary faithful little Edinburgh terrier, Greyfriar's Bobby.
Agnes Murray, the fourth child in a family of five, attended Dean School that sat on the side of a hill overlooking Dean Village, Edinburgh. A tall stone wall with broken glass embedded in cement along the top insured the separation of girls and boys in the schoolyard. Children struck with severe bloody noses were sent to the janitor in the basement for first aid. He would place his large, cold keys under the backs of their necks as they lay on the cool floor waiting for the bleeding to stop.
At Dean School, Agnes learned to type on a monstrous typesetter's typewriter with separate keys for upper and lower case letters. All the students studied French.
At home the young Murray children learned to knit. Each morning they knit a few rows before dashing off to school. They knit their own stockings.
When Agnes was a child, a doctor arrived at their house in a horse-drawn buggy and shooed the children upstairs as he and the coachman began converting the dining room table into an operating table. His strong hands proceeded with the amputation of the leg while the coachman dripped chloroform onto a cloth gently draped over the patient's nose.
In her twenties, Agnes trained as a milliner - a hat maker and designer. She worked in a shop on the famous Princes Street in Edinburgh, and was often sent to London to bring back the latest designs. Carrying a sketchpad she stalked the sidewalks outside the best shops. She would draw the newest fashion hats and take notes to insure duplication of the hat in her Edinburgh shop. Occasionally, the London shopkeepers would spy her making the sketch, and would run out to the sidewalk ordering her to leave, scolding her for stealing the design. (Agnes also worked in a millinery shop in Dunoon on the West Coast of Scotland for a time.)
In those days it was the tradition and fashion for widows to wear veils for months after the loss of their husbands. Making these veils represented a significant part of the business in the millinery shops. Hemming the long black netting was tedious: lift one, skip two. The seamstress counted the threads in the finely woven net to stitch the hem in place. Working on black cloth in the dimly lighted workrooms challenged even the sharpest eyes.
Milliners frequently made special-order hats for elite customers. The process was one of precision. The woman's head was carefully measured, sketches were drawn as various styles were fitted, and special touches to the design were noted. Then the head milliner assigned the hat to one of the girls in the shop. Creating the hat to fill one of these orders nearly cost Agnes her job.
She measured, cut and stitched meticulously. It was indeed an honor to be requested by this particular customer. But, to everyone's dismay, when the woman came to pick up her hat, it was too big. The disappointed customer's loud and vocal disapproval could be heard throughout the entire shop. The head milliner took Agnes aside for a reprimand.
"Didn't you measure?" Accusation laced the sharp question.
Agnes pulled out her tape measure, and under her supervisor's watchful eye measured each dimension of the hat. The piece met every specification on the work order. The discovery cast suspicion on the measuring tapes. Ahah! The two discovered that Agnes' woven fabric measuring tape had stretched under heavy use. One inch on her tape measured longer than one inch on the head milliner's tape! The customer graciously accepted their sincere apologies, and came back another day to get her new hat in the proper size.
A handsome young man named Thomas Walker became an important part of future plans when Agnes was in her mid to late twenties. The young couple planned a life together in America - a land they felt offered greater opportunity than what they saw in Scotland. It was agreed that before they married Thomas would sail to America, get established, then return for Agnes. It was an emotional parting when he set sail.
Agnes anxiously waited two years, and never received a letter from her betrothed. Deciding that she had been jilted, she determined she would see the world for herself. She and a girl friend boarded a ship to visit mutual friends in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As her ship left the harbor bound for Toronto, a second ship pulled into the harbor. Agnes later learned that her beloved Tom Walker was aboard the other ship, coming to marry her. Years of silence swallowed all explanations.
Agnes readily found work in the milliner shop at the prestigious Toronto Simpson store. One of the girls sharing her apartment invited a friend over to visit one evening. Charles Henry Crane came along with the friend. Charlie swept Agnes off her feet because "he was the spittin' image of the other one." A born storyteller, he may well have charmed them with stories of filing on a timber claim at Livingston and later a homestead on the Seven Blackfoot (Garfield County, Montana), tales of his gold prospecting adventures or stories of surveying Alaska. Little is known of their courtship, except that they were married on January 12, 1912, in Toronto, Canada. Agnes was 32 years of age. Charlie was 44.
From Toronto, the couple traveled by train to Chicago then to Montana. In Miles City the couple stood in front of a Justice of the Peace and repeated their marriage vows 17 days after the Canadian ceremony - January 29, 1912. Agnes wanted to be certain that the marriage was recognized under American law. On the Custer County marriage license, Ella Julla Rogers from Mercer County, Illinois, is listed as Charles' mother; Henry F. Crane as his father. (Both parents were born in Vermont, according to the 1870 Mercer County Illinois census.) Charlie gave Leedy as his place of resident. That was the post office used by the early homesteaders on the Blackfoot.
After the ceremony, the couple boarded the train again bound for Ingomar where they stayed in a hotel and prepared to drive a team and wagon (or sleigh) to Melstone to spend the rest of the winter. While Charlie busied himself with the team and preparations for the last leg of their honeymoon trip, Agnes was back in the hotel room sorting her wardrobe and the contents of her hat boxes. Most of her Toronto work clothes were not practical for the mud and ruggedness she found in this new frontier. A black woman everyone knew as Nigger Belle had admired on one of Agnes' dresses the day before. Agnes invited her to the room to look at the impractical outfits now put up for sale. Belle fell in love with the fashionable collection, and bought the lot.
The next morning when Charlie and Agnes climbed into their wagon to leave for Melstone, a fashionable dressed Belle and her husband passed them. Charlie looked down his nose as the couple pulled ahead and said to Agnes, "There! See how ridiculous you would've looked in all those clothes you wanted to bring?" He never knew the outfit had been purchased from his wife's trunks.
In the spring they traveled 90 miles north to Charlie's homestead on the Seven Blackfoot. He chose the site for its springs and timber. He dreamed of selling lumber to the railroad that was rumored to be coming through the area linking Lewistown with the eastern flank of Montana, but it never came.
Early homesteaders on the Seven Blackfoot forded the river river horseback to get their mail from the Leedy post office on the north side of the Missouri River. Other post offices these used through the years were Hazny, Antrim, Trouble, Uebra, Bruce, and finally, Brusett.
Life on the homestead was an adventure Agnes took in stride. The hope chest with the appropriate pieces of linens for starting a household made its way from the cobblestone streets in Edinburgh and Toronto to the dirt-floored log cabin. The first year found a linen tablecloth on the table, and a quilted tea cozy on the teapot. She heard from a friend that a neighbor had gone down the countryside saying, "That woman of Crane's is crazy. She puts a hat on her teapot!" It took many hours of hard scrubbing on the washboard to remove the greasy stains out of the tablecloths after some of the old timers propped their elbows on the sparkling white linens.
New Years - Hogmanay - is a big day of celebration in Scotland. Agnes waited until the stroke of midnight the first New Year's Eve in her homestead cabin to grab a cowbell and run outside ringing it. In Edinburgh, it would have been small part of a clamor. In Montana, it was a lone cowbell ringing on a cold, snowy night.
Agnes' Uncle Tom Murray sent rhubarb seeds from Scotland that were planted and continue to yield an abundance of fruit to this very day. Agnes gardened with a passion, pampering strawberries and roses and in later years, a row of tulips. If there was one "hardest" adjustment coming to tame this new land, it was no doubt the climate. In Scotland, gooseberries grow the size of pullet eggs. In this new land, one near the size of a child's thumb was considered a trophy. Fierce determination to have a climbing rose hedge around the cemetery where Charlie Crane was buried drove Agnes to plant hundreds of roses in the sandy soil. In spite of barrels of water ladled onto each plant, drought and hot winds sucked the life from every root.
Scottish doctors told Agnes that she probably would never bear children, but to be sure to seek good medical care if she proved them wrong. Surprised to discover that she was with child, she immediately made plans to return to Edinburgh and family a few months before the baby was expected. Her first son, Charles Alexander "Alex" Crane, was born March 27, 1913 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His birth on his mother's home soil gave him dual citizenship, a right that was never explored. When they sailed back to America on the Donaldson Line of Steamers" T.S.S. Saturnia on May 24, 1913, Mrs. Crane and infant and the famous Annie Oakley were named in the passenger list.
Before returning to the States, Agnes attended a cooking school. The skills Agnes learned there were enjoyed by many over the course of her lifetime! The fare served from her quaint kitchen was seasoned to perfection. Homemade breads, homegrown vegetables - fresh or canned, home churned butter, homemade cottage cheese, relishes, chutneys and pickles all graced this homesteader's menu. Neighborhood favorites included her tasty steamed puddings and apricot-rhubarb jam. Her cookies filled cookies jars, tasty treats for grandchildren and neighbor's visits alike. Her jams and jellies swept the blue ribbons at the Garfield County Fair for years.
When Agnes returned to the "old country" for a visit soon after WWII ended, she wrote back to Montana telling of the stringent food rationing in Britain. That marked the beginning of food "pear-sells" (parcels) shipped every six weeks until into the mid 1950s. A tin-can canner preserved elk, pork, venison, chicken, vegetables and fruit. Tins were packed into boxes wrapped in brown paper salvaged from 25-pound sugar sacks and shipped to the relatives overseas. Ian Grieve, an elderly Scottish cousin reminds us even today that the canned elk in those packages was the best meat he ever tasted.
Agnes' tailoring skills fashioned more than one grandchild's coat from a worn adult garment. Brightly printed flour sacks and the thump of the old treadle sewing machine produced smart fashion statements for growing granddaughters. Boy's shirts won ribbons at the local fair. In homesteading days she remodeled an 1880s church dress into a wedding dress for a young neighbor, Louise Merlak.
The Murray family had the distinction of two members being awarded the Order of the British Empire, O.B.E., or knighthood. The ceremonies were held at Buckingham Palace. Agnes Crane's older brother Tom, a seaman in the Merchant Marines who had heroically saved a fellow seaman after a ship went down, became Sir Thomas Murray.
The generation before, her paternal uncle, Sir Robert Murray, was knighted in recognition of his success in business and his public work (charitable work).
In addition to their son Alex, Agnes and Charlie had one daughter, Agnes Helen, born July 25, 1914, at Bruce Montana, and a son, Robert, born June 22, 1917, at Miss Darcy's Hospital in Miles City.
Agnes Murray Crane died on September 7, 1976, in the nursing home at Jordan, at the age of 97. Her husband and two children preceded her in death. Charlie died on June 3, 1950. Her son Alex, often called "The Scotchman," died November 13, 1965, in a tractor rollover on the family farm. Her daughter Agnes Helen "Nellie" Kerry died March 13, 1972, in Glasgow where she taught. All of them are buried at the Hearts at Peace cemetery on the Crane ranch northwest of Brusett.
Robert Scott, Agnes and Charlie's second son, passed away May 14, 1980. He was buried at the Sunset Memorial Gardens, now known as Central Montana Memorial Gardens near Lewistown, Montana, where he and his wife, Ruth (Kleeberger) Crane raised six sons.
Story written by her granddaughter in December 1959 based on an interview with Agnes Crane regarding Christmas in Scotland when she was a child:
Christmas at Bemersyde, Scotland
Seventy-Five Years Ago
In Scotland seventy-five years ago, the land was divided up into huge estates. Each one of these estates was owned by the gentry (rich people). The gentry were the owners of castles and had many luxuries as well as the estates. They also had estate workers such as foresters, gardeners, keepers, and workers to do the work on their estates.
The estate workers had houses on the estate where they worked. My grandmother's family's house was located behind the stables. These workers were not slaves, but people hired by Colonel Haig to work on his estate.
On Christmas Eve Colonel Haig invited all of his estate workers into his house for a small celebration.
The guests, which were the workers, were welcomed into the public room. In this room there was a big Christmas tree. (In those days, only the gentry could afford having one.) There were some little presents hung on the tree and others were under it.
Mrs. Haig and her daughters, Cicely and Eve, and her son, Guy, passed out the gifts. There was a small present for each child. The adults received a blanket and some tea.
After the distribution of the gifts, cake was served to the children. Occasionally a child's eyes would carefully survey the pieces on the platter, trying to find a large one. Mrs. Haig would realize what they were doing and tell them, "Take the piece nearest to you."
The children were soon taken home to be put to bed after the party. They would hang their stockings on the mantelpiece and stumble off to bed.
In the morning when they looked in their stockings they would find a small gift on top. Under that there was an orange and an apple and some sweeties. In the very toe there were some cinders for a joke.
After they had opened their gifts and eaten some breakfast, they began their four-mile walk to school. They attended school for half a day and then they were excused.
The kiddies would walk much faster coming home because they were hungry and when they got there, a Christmas dinner would be waiting for them. Usually the dinner consisted of a meat course, plum pudding, and mince pies.
In the middle of the afternoon, people would visit one another. When some visitors arrived, wine was served to the ladies and a stronger brew was served to the men. Shortbread, Scotch bun and fruit cake were served also.
In Scotland at that time, the different parts of it had different customs for Christmas. This is the way my grandmother celebrated Christmas when she was there, however the customs have changed greatly since then.
Scotland still celebrates Christmas in a manner similar to the way they did then, but still, different communities have different customs which they use. Although Christmas customs differ in different countries, really, we are all doing it for the very same reason: the birth of Christ.
The following email came from John Collins, son of Ruby Grieve & Jim Collins in Glasgow, Scotland. Ruby was Granny Crane's first cousin. Jim was a highly esteemed physical science instructor at Glasgow University. John works for Rolls Royce. He is responding to receipt of the Bemersyde story in the spring of 2011.
Hi Catherine,
Bemersyde is about an hours drive south form Edinburgh so I guess about 40 miles. Nearest town is St Boswell's which in turn is close to Melrose , lovely country.
I have a memory myself and parents , Angela must have been out of the house by then , went down to stay in St Boswells for a long weekend. My mother I think trying to re trace some steps. We went to the small church on the Sunday and I was fascinated because it had a special pew for the Haig family. I have a vague memory that there was one of the family there and he participated in taking in the collection.
You caused me to Google the Haig's as I knew their claim to fame (or infamy) was Field Marshall Haig was the head of the British Army in WWI and many held him responsible for the tactics and hence deaths of so many soldiers. The major UK Military Charity the Poppy Fund was set up by him.
Interestingly sometime in late 19th century they seem to have had one of these dilemmas of the gentry that there were 3 daughters and no male heir so the estate was signed over to a cousin. We have had a superb Upstairs � Downstairs series on TV called �Downton Abbey.' Worth the watch if it is screened in the US; a family going through similar issues and so much just as Jenny described it.
Glad to say we are well. Lucy (22 in July) is heading off to Switzerland for a long weekend to catch up with one of her school chums. Viv and I are off in 3 weeks time to Kenya for a week's beach holiday. Wacky idea , I saw the offer for a ridiculously low price but we have since forked out a fortune for immunisations and anti malarial tablets. In between times I've got a business trip out to Kazakhstan but if it is like last year when I went it was rain and low cloud just like Glasgow so didn't see much.
Take care

Modern Romantic
By Ellen Pall
Published: May 11, 1997
Lar Lubovitch lies sprawled on the floor of a large rehearsal hall at the headquarters of American Ballet Theater in downtown Manhattan. His eyes are bloodshot, cheeks pale, chest heaving, T-shirt dark with sweat.
''God, I'm rusty,'' he howls. ''I feel like I've been beaten up.''
It is noon on the last, frigid day of 1996, and the dim corridors and lofty rehearsal rooms of A.B.T. are nearly empty, the dancers on vacation or doing guest appearances in ''Nutcracker'' performances across the country. But Lubovitch is preparing for the greatest challenge of his career: choreographing a full-length ballet based on Shakespeare's ''Othello,'' which will make its debut at the Metropolitan Opera House on May 23. He is not about to leave early.
He gets himself back to his feet. Compact, trim, earthbound, at 54, Lubovitch is still handsome, even boyish at times. His companions stand, too: Rebecca Rigert, Scott Rink and Ginger Thatcher, all longtime friends and sometime members of his own modern dance company. Next week, the A.B.T. dancers will return and choreography of ''Othello'' will officially begin; for now, these three stand in for them, allowing Lubovitch to sketch out in advance a solo and some of the complex corps work that will begin Act I. They range themselves across the floor as he presses the ''play'' button on a boombox.
The creation of ''Othello'' is a rare event, not only for Lubovitch personally but for the dance world in general. Though long story-ballets are more popular with American audiences than short, abstract dances, only a handful of evening-length narrative ballets have been made here in the last 30 years. In part, this is because abstraction has dominated the attention of choreographers. It is also because the expense of creating such works is staggering: production costs aside, rehearsal time at A.B.T. runs $200,000 a week.
Warm, delicate music fills the studio -- a rolling, generous harp accompanied by a piping oboe. Lubovitch listens, absolutely still. Freshly composed by Elliot Goldenthal, this is Cassio's first-act solo, which Lubovitch envisions as a kind of ''toast'' offered by the newly promoted lieutenant at a wedding celebration for his commander, Othello. Lubovitch considers even his abstract
works narrative in the sense that they explore subjects like grief or friendship through the interactions of nameless characters. though more explicitly narrative, his ''Othello'' will not act out the play using pantomime but rather seek to embody its characters, themes and emotions in pure dance. Ann Hould-Ward's costumes combine period and modern elements. And the choreography will blend ballet and modern dance, with the principal women en pointe but working within Lubovitch's signature style.
Finally, arms gently swinging, Lubovitch takes a small hop left, then right. Behind him, the three dancers hop left, then right. (All three dance, as each may make a different contribution.) He shuts off the tape, repeats the hops, broadens them into a series of lively, youthful sidelong leaps. Then, ''What'd I do?'' he asks, turning. The dancers repeat the sequence.
''Too busy,'' he decides, restarting the music. He listens again, tries moving backward, then once more stops still. He looks completely blank, like a man who has just come into a room to get something but suddenly can't remember what. When he choreographs, Lubovitch looks for ''the next inevitable step,'' the movement that flows naturally through the body from the previous one. After a long pause, he starts forward with a series of swift, springy steps. He asks the others to repeat the sequence, then copies it himself, refines, adds more. Back and forth, he and the dancers trade sequences, editing, extending, building the solo.
Half an hour in, Lubovitch takes off his glasses and briefly buries his eyes in his sleeve. Fifty-four is old for dancing. Moreover, a series of surgeries on a bad knee -- a souvenir of his own career as a dancer -- have left his skeleton realigned, his muscles out of shape. It is two years since he made his last concert dance, ''So in Love,'' a suite of five Cole Porter songs choreographed with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company. Since then, he has done the musical staging for the current Broadway revival of ''The King and I,'' adding two short dances, and (though he does not skate) has created several ice dances for champion skaters.
Gamely, sometimes grimly, he plugs away at the solo, adding a jut of the hips, a strange waggling of the head, an energetic double twirl. At last, consulting his watch, he asks the others to perform what now exists of the section.
''Something like that,'' he says dubiously, then collapses again on the floor. It is 1 o'clock, the end of the session, the end of the year and for now the end of what he can do to prepare for the coming challenge.

Having your own home is among the best liberties, however also takes place to be a fantastic responsibility, and a continuous dedication on behalf of the owner - you.
There are numerous things to think about and issues to represent when one remains in the procedure of selecting and purchasing their first home Time homeowners normally get too thrilled about the little things (which is completely understandable) and tend to forget or neglect problems of major value. Browse this web page to buy my house.
Financially, owning a home is a tight balancing act which takes discipline, commitment and cautious rationing of readily available funds. Maybe one of the most important pieces of advice for first time property owners is not to put the cart prior to the horse. In other words, it is very important to focus economically on the truly vital elements of having a home like convenience, safety, insurance etc. and then invest in luxury additions and extra features.
One department where first time property buyers have the tendency to get brought away is interior design and remodeling. Although looks are very important, they cannot be a concern over animal conveniences. Time property buyers must focus on maintaining the investment value of the home as a possession, and then start to enhance its appearances and design.
Normally, the added costs of purchasing a brand-new home are quite a few and fairly significant to bear by the typical very first time property buyer. Mindful factor to consider and sound financial (and home mortgage) advice is ultimate for new homeowners who have just spent their lifesavings on a home. , lots of first time property buyers get approved for specific government and taxation benefits which can lower additional expenses.
Possibly the most essential aspect of owning a home (apart from qualified, routine maintenance and repair) is home insurance. When in the procedure of choosing the most suitable home insurance policy, it is recommended to make use of the services of a certified insurance coverage agent or broker, and provide them with every small bit of info they require - this way they will certainly be able to discover, protect and sign you up for the most comprehensive and budget friendly insurance policy as per your budget and home.
The necessity to keep a home in perfect working order is enforced on any property owner. An appropriately maintained home is a safe home, don't forget that.
There are also certain tax advantages for very first time property owners, and numerous repair works done to the home can be included as part of your tax return. Having stated this, essential and un-postponable repair services should not be puzzled with enhancements for more luxury. Consult with a qualified tax accounting professional and have them speak with and guidance you on exactly what are thought about essential repairs, and exactly what cannot be consisted of as part of your tax refund.
Your home is far more than simply a shelter from bad weather condition; it is the center of your everyday life, and the material expression of your finances and cost savings. Since a home is a long term investment, it should be maintained as such, in order to protect or enhance its value and appeal.
Purchasing a Home? Factors to Consider
Trying to find a home to purchase is among the most important things you will certainly do in your life. This is because you will have made big strides in your life: you will certainly not be needed to pay rent, and you will have more space to take pleasure in with your household.
When looking for homes to buy, there are three primary elements you should consider: location, house type, and general layout of your home.
The typical property quote is, "area, place, location". There are two types of locations that you can live in: in the suburban areas and in the city locations.
Although, residing in the suburbs is more comfortable, it can get pricey on your part since you will be compelled to invest a lot of money on gas and other transportation costs.
When it concerns living in the city locations, you will spend less on gasoline and transportation costs and live closer to your place or work and shopping mall, but you will be exposed to high criminal offense rates that are prevalent in many urban locations. You will also be needed to pay greater taxes.
Type of home
If you have selected the most proper place for your home, you must go ahead and look at the type of home that you want. There are 3 main types of homes that you can select from: condominiums, townhouses, and single household houses.
Condos and townhouses are typically much less costly and have a more recent appeal than single family homes. These homes have these advantages; they tend to offer less privacy.
Single family homes on the other hand have the tendency to be pricey, however they are normally bigger hence have lots of living space.
Design of the home
Lots of people tend to consider the variety of bed rooms and bathrooms in the house. The number of stories in the house is likewise another important element that lots of people think about. Depending upon your choices and spending plan, you should choose the home that is most perfect for you.
In addition to the above aspects, other factors you ought to think about are: swimming pool, health spa, fireplace, garage, among many others.
Researching is paramount when purchasing a home. This is because you will understand houses offered for you therefore you will certainly be positive and pleased with your purchase.

Kermit Cintron vs. Alfredo Angulo
2009-05-30 : Kermit Cintron 153½ lbs beat Alfredo Angulo 153 lbs by UD in round 12 of 12
- Location: Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Hollywood, Florida, USA
- Referee: Telis Assimenios
- Judge: Michael Pernick 116-112
- Judge: Mike Ross 116-112
- Judge: Rocky Young 116-112
Ring Announcer: Jimmy Lennon Jr.
Aired On: HBO Boxing After Dark
Promoters: DiBella Entertainment/Seminole Warriors Boxing
- Alfredo Angulo 15-0 (12 KOs) vs. Kermit Cintron 30-2-1 (27 KOs)
- Fight was on the undercard of Andre Berto vs. Juan Urango.
- Both fighters' previous bouts were on the February 14th undercard of Nate Campbell vs. Ali Funeka. Angulo scored a 5th Round TKO over Cosme Rivera, while Cintron narrowly earned a draw against Sergio Gabriel Martinez.
- Cintron entered as a 3-1 underdog.
- It was the first fight for Angulo to go beyond 10 rounds.
Bout Summary
Cintron used movement and solid jab work to keep Angulo, for the most part, at a distance. In the opening round, Cintron landed at a higher rate and Angulo landed with greater power; connecting with a few solid right hands. In Round 3, however, Cintron began landing the right hand and was evidently the faster of the two fighters. Both fighters were warned in Round 4 for low blows and Cintron landed a right hand midway through the 4th that seemed to hurt Angulo. Too in the 4th, Cintron developed a small cut on his left eyebrow. Angulo came on in Round 5 with added pressure and landed well likely winning the round. Cintron was warned twice in Round 7 for low blows and Angulo fought the second half of the round in the southpaw stance. Cintron began to tire in the latter rounds but remained effective enough to keep Angulo at bay. Angulo was simply unable to land effectively on the faster Cintron. Cintron was warned in Round 12 for holding.
- "Cintron looked very confident. He looked very relaxed and he seemed like an improved fighter mentally and physically and he did what he needed to do and that's box." - Lennox Lewis

Over 100 have so far paid €300 to give their handsets given the Midas touch.
"It's very popular with some people, in December alone around four people a week have been using our gold-plating service," said Alan Donohoe, manager of the GSM Solutions store in Upper Abbey Street.
The thefts of smartphones remains high in Dublin, with gangs stealing some phones to order.
While some may dismiss the craze as a complete waste of money, demand shows others clearly like to 'dazzle as they dial' and 'glisten as they listen,' according to Mr Donohoe.
"As well as 24-carat gold, we have a platinum option which isn't popular because its silvery colour doesn't stand out," he said.
The process is carried out on the premises with an electro-plating technique involving several layers of liquid gold being brushed onto the steel chassis, outer-rims and backs of the phones.
Cobalt is then used to harden the substance in a chemical process.
For those wanting extra bling, the gold plating can be lacquered for extra shine.
A less expensive option is to fit a new gold-plated back for the iphone for €129.
"About a gram of gold is used in the process," he said.
The gold-plating is quite thin and can be worn off, depending on usage.
But Mr Donohoe said the plating can last "up to three years".
More than 100 people have had phones gold-plated in the past year.
"People usually get it done as a Christmas or a birthday gift or for Valentine's Day.
"We get people in from all over Ireland. I think it looks very well, people like gold," added Mr Donohue.
"For some the recession is bottoming out and retail sales are going up. Some are spending more but it's not across the board," he added.

Cow. Learning animal names.
Moo. Learning animal sounds.
Its a big part of the beginning stages of talking for a toddler.
Flying. Learning animal movements.
Nests. Learning animal habitats.
For a preschooler, animals become part of their world.
This week, Kate at An Amazing Child is celebrating Eric Carle.
We checked out a few books by Carle that we didn't have, from the library.
I noticed a theme of our books.
They're all animals.
(I'm not saying all Carle books are animal related, just the ones we're reading.)
While these playtime pals didn't necessarily create Eric Carle activities or crafts, they are all ways to enjoy and explore animals with your preschooler.
This cute caterpillar made with pipe cleaner legs at The Iowa Farmer's Wife caught my eye immediately. Being Eric Carle week, I definitely thought of the connection with The Hungry Caterpillar (affiliate link). The addition of the tissue paper wrapped around makes it very bright and cheery!
- Add an element of literacy while creating a zoo at Ready. Set. Read! Don't forget to feed and water the animals!
- StongStart melts crayons to make a fish, learning about the different materials and sizes of the fish reminds us of the differences of the fish in the ocean.
- Make ladybugs from bottle caps at Rub Some Dirt On It. Learn what not to do while creating this adorable craft!
- Learning about habitat, at Sun hats & Wellie Boots, of fish in a ocean of playdough. Enjoy some relaxing ocean wave sounds in the background, too!

The House of Representatives has detailed committees' planned reviews and investigations of the executive branch this Congress.
House Republicans have released a compilation of their committees' plans to review executive branch operations during the current session of Congress. Much of the 244-page report, which seeks to oversee the oversight, is legislative boilerplate of conventional inquiries. But the report also offers a useful insider look at some lawmakers' planned investigations and assertion of committee prerogatives.
IT, for example, appears prominently in the oversight plans of several House committees. The Oversight and Government Reform Committee said it is "critically important" to control federal contract spending, including "exorbitant" costs for support services and IT systems.
Other committees issued more targeted plans. At the Homeland Security Committee, new Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said the panel "will review the [Homeland Security] Department's efforts to address information technology challenges, including the management and integration of the department's IT systems."
The Armed Services Committee's plan underscored budget pressures, including deep cuts from sequestration, and said the panel will continue to review the Pentagon's IT spending "to reduce unwarranted duplication and eliminate programs of little value to the warfighter." And the Science and Technology Committee complained about continuing security threats to IT systems while previous oversight recommendations have gone unaddressed.
Other committees used this year's report to emphasize their legislative interests. Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee described plans for multiple hearings with Obama administration officials to discuss tax reform, which is that panel's chief priority in the new Congress. The committee also intends to explore the delivery of health services, reimbursement under Medicare and job requirements for welfare recipients.
Plans for the Appropriations Committee were far less specific. The panel did little more than list House rules and generic oversight responsibilities and stated its strong commitment to "stringent and comprehensive oversight of federal discretionary spending to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being invested wisely and prudently on behalf of the American people."
Because of "the nation's financial crisis, Congress must go further in exercising oversight than ever before," according to the committee. It used virtually identical language in its report two years ago.
The Agriculture Committee listed more than 100 topics that it plans to review, including the definition of "rural" under rural development programs and the Food and Drug Administration's recent egg safety rule. As did other House panels, members of the Financial Services Committee said they "will consult, as appropriate, with other committees of the House that may share jurisdiction" on issues that they plan to investigate.
The committee reports, which were compiled and issued by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee on March 25, are required by a rule the House adopted in 1971 that sought to make committees more responsive to House members and leaders.
The Senate has no companion set of committee reports. With Democrats in control of that chamber, its oversight of the administration would likely be more limited than the House's in any case.
