The Jewish mayor of Ukraine's second-largest city underwent a second surgery in Israel for a gunshot wound from a suspected assassination attempt.
Gennady Kernes, who heads the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, was operated on Wednesday at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, according to hospital spokesman David Ratner. Ratner said Wednesday evening that Kernes was in "serious" condition.
Kernes also underwent surgery Tuesday at Rambam. He was not operated on at Haifa's Elisha Hospital, as originally reported by JTA, but was stabilized there after being flown to Israel early on Tuesday morning. He was transferred later on Tuesday to Rambam.
Kernes was flown to Israel on Tuesday morning after being shot in the neck a day earlier during his routine morning jog.
"Israeli doctors arrived last night, praised our doctors' work and recommended he be transferred for treatment in Israel," Kharkiv City Council member Yuri Sidorenko told Interfax Ukraine. "The doctors deemed his condition to be safe for travel and at 3:20 a.m. his plane took off from Kharkiv."
Ukrainian officials have opened an investigation into the shooting, according to Interfax.
Ukraine has seen deadly clashes between political opponents since the eruption in November of a revolution that started with protests over then-President Viktor Yanukovych's perceived pro-Russian policies. Yanukovych was ousted from power in February and replaced with an interim government that has scheduled elections for next month.
Kernes reportedly has played a major role in the confrontations between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian forces in the city. He had been a supporter of Yanukovych and then changed his stance, saying he does not support the pro-Russia insurgents or the annexation of Ukrainian territory.
Several anti-Semitic attacks, including two stabbings and two attempts to torch synagogues, have occurred since November in Ukraine, a country with relatively low levels of anti-Semitic violence.
According to the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, the 2009 election campaign in which Kernes became mayor was mired with anti-Semitic hate speech targeting him and other Jewish candidates.

Sunny-Side Up, Down, and Out
More than a quarter of a billion eggs—a quarter of a billion!—have reportedly been recalled because of an outbreak of salmonella that has sickened hundreds of people in at least three states. A nationwide recall of 13 brands sold by an Iowa egg factory farm has launched a multi-agency investigation that is only expected to grow in scope and scale.
It's heartbreaking to imagine how many hens lived and died in misery to lay and lose their now rejected eggs, when you consider that a hen has to endure 22 hours of confinement in a crowded battery cage to produce just one egg. Our friends at Mercy for Animals recently released undercover video footage from a California egg factory farm exposing row after multi-stacked row of chickens who live in filthy cages in which they can barely move, injured and sick birds who never see a veterinarian, and birds who are violently grabbed and thrown by their wings, necks, and legs:

The easiest way to steer clear of diarrhea, cramps, and a possible trip to the emergency room is to avoid eggs altogether. There are loads of ways to avoid eating chicken embryos—check out all these alternatives.

I can certainly sympathize with Megan. On my drive to work in the mornings I pass semitrucks filled with chickens headed to slaughter. Seeing this always makes me sick to my stomach and I have to look away. One time I saw one chicken sticking his head out of the cage trying to get some air. That image still haunts me. When I joined a protest outside a McDonalds last year I did it for him.
I wish PETA would do a commercial parody of the Foster Farms chickens. They could finally end up at a chicken farm where a worker hears them talking in their male voices checks and discovers they are in fact roosters attempts to kill them which they survive and throws them on the dead pile. Farm Sanctuary comes by discovers they are alive and rescues them. The last scene shows them talking with other chickens who really are females as evidenced by the female voices and it turns out that all this time they had Foster Farms mixed up with Farm Sanctuary…Foster Farms name implying they fostered rescued or abandoned animals…..
This makes me so sad. I just dont understand why society puts up with this disgusting nature of factory farms! I am so glad I dont eat animals but I wish that the rest of the world didnt turn a blind eye to the conditions of the farms we buy from
The recalled eggs come from Wright County Egg of Galt Iowa and are sold in a variety of packages under the brand names including Lucerne Alvertson Mountain Dairy Ralph's Boomsma's Sunshine Hillsdale Farm Fresh Trafficanda Shoreland Lund Dutch Farms and Kemps.
the fact is that virtually all chicken farms operate under the same conditions! the best way to stay clear of supporting the cruelty is to either become vegan and avoid eggs all together or to buy only free range eggs who offer the hens at least some space to roam. if you like eggs then the absolute best options is to have your own chicken or buy the eggs from a local farmer who only keeps a few in the yard but this is hard to find these days S
As a vegetarian and animal lover I sometimes hate to say that I live in this state Iowa. Bewteen having to drive by the Tyson factory living less than 100 miles from the Egg Farms and watching endless semis drive through full of helpless animals it just makes me sick to be an Iowan.

An Ode to the White Handkerchief
Patterned pocket squares may enjoy the limelight but a plain handkerchief can be put to tougher tests
WHEN I WAS A BOY in my first blue blazer, I inherited my father's habit of wearing a pocket square. By the time I entered college, the simple piece of cloth—arranged with devil-may-care rakishness or origami exactitude—became a psychological necessity when dressing for a spring formal or a summer-job interview. To lack one was to feel slightly naked.
One day, 14 years ago, I was heading back to my office and crossed paths with a bird that was likewise returning from lunch. With pigeon droppings befouling my jacket, I deployed my pocket square for latrine duty, which left my outfit incomplete. So I veered off to Brooks Brothers for a box of white cotton handkerchiefs. One went into my breast pocket, another inside a hip pocket, and now I habitually carry an extra hankie for the sake of practicality.
"A white handkerchief is the sartorial equivalent of a Swiss Army knife," said John Brodie, editor in chief of e-commerce site Mr Porter (which stocks Brooks' rolled handkerchiefs). As a father with young children, Mr. Brodie said he uses them to stop the bleeding on a skinned knee, to wipe a runny nose and "even to fend off a maple syrup-covered hand headed across the breakfast table toward Daddy's bespoke suit."
Since my emergency purchase, I've remained loyal to Brooks Brothers, in particular those priced at $45 for a folded set of 13. Still, I wouldn't turn up a sniffly nose at their slightly ritzier "cigar-rolled" handkerchiefs. At $50 per six-pack, those still represent a bargain investment in savoir faire.
The white cotton handkerchief as we know it, made of commonplace upland cotton, emerged in the 1940s, according to Kelly Stuart, Brooks Brothers' director of brand training and unofficial historian. "Irish linen or silk were the only fabrics for white handkerchiefs before the war, with cotton reserved for more colorful [styles]," she explained, noting the tony exception of a 1937 model made from Sea Island cotton.
Ms. Stuart supposed that upland cotton rose in importance "because the process of making linen is extremely labor intensive and because of the difficulty of getting any silk imported during World War II." My handkerchief's origins in wartime austerity chimes with my appreciation of its humble charms.
There's also something Zen about the white cotton handkerchief. Mainly that I don't know whether it will be in my pocket when I return home: To loan handkerchiefs out is to give them away. But I'm permanently attached to the practice of replacing them in perpetuity. They are the world's nattiest security blankets.

"Ramona is one of those people who, amidst adversity, she triumphs," Real Housewives of New York City costar Aviva Drescher told PEOPLE at Style for a Cause with Cozy's Cuts for Kids and The Max Cure Foundation. "It's incredible: She is solid."
Singer filed for divorce from husband Mario Singer, her husband of 22 years, in January, following reports that she caught him with his girlfriend in the Hamptons.
The housewife is moving on just fine, though.
"Ramona is surrounded by lots and lots of friends who love her and care for her," says Drescher, who adds despite their tumultuous onscreen history, "I've absolutely been there for her."
This revelation may come as a shock to RHONY fans, as Drescher and Singer were very much at odds last season.
A clip from the season premiere suggested that they may be on better terms, but you don't have to wait for the March 11 air date to find out: "Ramona and I make up, and it took a lot of alcohol, but we did it," Drescher says. "She is the mama bear on the show…and I certainly didn't want to stay on her bad side."
That's not to say season six is without its trademark catfights and confrontations. Drescher confirms that her and former Housewife pal Carole Radziwill's reported feud is real.
"It really had to do with our books – both of our books coming out," she says. "The whole thing just spirals out of control.
"Season six is dramatic right out the gate."

Smith and Wesson model 66/ 19

> Smith and Wesson model 66/ 19
August 23, 2006, 04:42 PM
I have a old smith and wesson that is marked as a model 66, but the gun is blued and appears to be a model 19. Anyone ever run into this before?

There were some places that were "blueing" Model 66s. It's not blueing as the process used on steel guns but they made for a passable blued look. Wonder if you have one of those.
August 23, 2006, 04:59 PM
No, the finish appears original. Most of it is worn off, lots of holster wear. Thanks.
August 23, 2006, 05:03 PM
The "blued" 66s will appear original and they will look like a blued steel gun. Some PDs and officers had their stainless "blued" thinking the stainless was too reflective. I looked into having a 659 "blued" but traded it for a 3rd gen S&W before I got it done.
August 23, 2006, 09:57 PM
Smith & Wesson did indeed "blue" some of their 66s and I believe your model is a stainless gun with some sort of a blue finish applied. I've often wondered what they looked like. It the blue highly reflective like Smith's royal blue, or is it matted in any way?
I remember back when gun magazines were still writing about double action revolvers a lot and talking about blue v. stainless (a topic they kept alive for years with banner headers). Pundits griped about stainless as being too reflective. I don't think too many of them took them into a darkened room to actually find out. (I did and my stainless Security-Six was about the same as my blued one.) Still, the argument went on for some time.
Leave your 66/19 on the lawn under a water sprinkler for a weekend. If it rusts, it's a 19. If it doesn't, well, you'll know it's stainless steel. Actually, a better test would be to take a cotton swab and put just a drop of cold blue solution on it. Clean and apply that drop to a hidden part of the gun and if it just beads up and doesn't change color, then you know it's stainless.
August 24, 2006, 04:08 PM
I just learned today that the gun is indeed stainless, a 66. The gun is an old Ct. State Police revolver that was purchased when the State went to Berretta 92's. I just got the Smith and Wesson box for the gun. The finish code is "BSS", blue stainless steel. Thanks for the help.
August 24, 2006, 07:19 PM
Now you have me curious as to what that looks like. I have never seen a blued stainless gun. Any chance you could post a good picture?

Though the non-waiver MLB trade deadline has come and gone, waiver trades are still able to go on until the end of the month. This is the time of year when non-playoff teams with high-priced players often place said player on waivers and if a team makes a claim on him, both sides attempt to work out a deal so that one squad may gain a star and another can dump some salary. It can get a bit messy, but some teams look all the better because of it.
This season, one name that has been tossed around quite a bit is that of Chicago Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano, who makes $19 million this season and has two years remaining on an eight-year, $136 million contract he signed with the team before the 2007 season. Though the seven-time All-Star has been decent this season, the Cubs are looking to get younger and more consistent, which means finding a buyer for the 36-year-old left fielder.
Still, that isn't to say that the only teams looking to make moves right now are ones with bad contracts. In other cases, some cellar-dwelling teams want to get younger and will dangle valuable and affordable pieces that contending teams would love to have. In either scenario, the market is anything but dry.

Cornelius Johnson refused to speak to officers who knocked on his Herman Drive door sometime after 10:30 p.m. to question him in the rape of a 15-year-old female relative, interim police Chief Lester Hargrove said.
Instead, a 17-year-old boy answered the front door, then tried to slam it shut when Johnson yelled from upstairs to close the door.
An officer shoved his foot forward and held the door open, Hargrove said, as Johnson emerged at the top of a staircase, his hand resting on a Smith & Wesson 9 mm handgun at his hip.
The officers shouted for the man to drop the weapon, but he would not, according to the police account.
Instead, Johnson raised the gun and opened fire, wounding one of the officers after bullet fragments ricocheted and struck him in the leg.
As the officers retreated from the door and the teenager fled, each officer fired a single shot at Johnson, Hargrove said.
"When officers are in danger," Hargrove said, "they don't take any chances."
Tuesday's officer-involved shooting was the fourth this year, police reported. Three of those shootings were fatal.
After each firing a shot Tuesday, the officers called for the department's tactical team, which surrounded the northside Mobile residence.
The team made repeated calls for Johnson, but the man and father of five never responded, Hargrove said.
At 1 a.m., the team knocked down the door and found Johnson dead.
Investigators were awaiting autopsy results to determine whether Johnson was hit once or twice on his upper body.
An 8-year-old boy, identified as Johnson's son, was found unharmed inside one of the bedrooms.
Both officers were placed on paid administrative leave until an internal investigation into the shooting is complete, Hargrove said. Neither of their names were released Wednesday.
Hargrove said police found out about the alleged rape Tuesday night when Child Protective Services called officers to the University of South Alabama Medical Center, where the girl had reported the abuse.
The girl told police that a relative had raped her numerous times over a five-year period.
"She had enough," Hargrove said, "and she was not going to take it anymore."
Both the girl and her mother identified Johnson as her rapist, Hargrove said, prompting police to make the late night call at his house.
Friends gathered at Johnson's home Wednesday afternoon defended him.
"I've never known him to be anything but a person who just made everyone feel comfortable," said Jennifer Norwood, a family friend. "He would do anything to make you feel better. I'm not sure how it could have happened the way police say."
James Priester, who said he worked with Johnson frequently on odds-and-ends jobs, fixing up homes and cars, said Johnson was "a really good dude" who "when he wasn't fixing up a house or a car, he was cutting hair."

Kerry Bolton
Kerry Raymond Bolton (born 1956) is a New Zealand[1] writer and political activist noted for his national-socialist ideology. He has written numerous publications focused around social credit, politics, ethnicity, metaphysics, religion, and the occult, particularly Freemasonry (his 2006 doctoral dissertation was From Knights Templar to New World Order: Occult Influences in History – an examination of theories), Christianity and Catholic social doctrine (Faith of Europe), among other topics.[2]
Bolton was educated at Hutt Valley Technical College, in Lower Hutt.
Bolton has published and edited several newsletters such as The Nexus, Western Destiny, and Restoration. He founded the Order of the Left Hand Path (OLHP) in 1992,[2] following a quarrel with other members of the Temple of Set.[3][dubious ] The Order of the Left Hand Path was a study group based around the ideas of Nietzsche, Jung, and Spengler, with some symbolic trappings.[2] Two years later it was renamed the Ordo Sinistra Vivendi ("Order of the Left Way"), and then the Order of Deorc Fyre under the direction of Thorsten Moar,[2] and in the same year created the Black Order.[2][4] It claimed to have a network of national lodges in six European countries plus Australia and the U.S.[2] It was intended to be an activist front promoting an "occult-fascist axis" by mobilising political groups and youth culture elements such as industrial music.[2] Bolton created and edited the Black Order newsletter, The Flaming Sword, and its successor,[discuss] The Nexus, a journal that focused largely on the politically heretical with special attention given to figures from neo-völkisch movements like Savitri Devi, Julius Evola, and Ezra Pound, and which especially catered to the 'Black heavy-metal' movement.[discuss] It later changed its name to Western Destiny.[2]
Bolton was a co-founder of the Nationalist Workers' Party,[2] and was briefly secretary for the New Zealand Fascist Union in 1997,[5] in which he promoted the 'patriotic socialism' of 1930s Labour hero John A. Lee.[6] In 2004 he was the secretary of the New Zealand National Front[7][8][9] and spokesman[discuss] for the New Right group.[10][11] He was also involved for several years with the New Zealand National Front during the late 1970s and in 2004.[12] However, Bolton soon resigned because of disputes with neo-Nazi and white supremacist factions.[13]
He has been published in recent years in journals and on the websites of politicians including Alfred Vierling[14] and that of the Centre for Conservative Studies, Sociology Department, at Moscow State University.[15] He publishes the journal Ab Aeterno, whose contributors have included Dr Dimitris Michalopoulos, Dr Tom Sunic, Prof. Alexander Dugin, et al. Bolton is a Fellow of the Academy of Social and Political Research. Bolton's 2003 book Thinkers of the Right was described by Paul Gottfried as one of the best he has read on the inter-war Right.[16]
In 2008, a masters thesis written about Bolton published by the Waikato University was temporarily pulled from the library pending investigation after Bolton complained to the vice-chancellor.[1][17][18] The thesis, titled "Dreamers of the Dark: Kerry Bolton and the Order of the Left Hand Path; a Case-study of a Satanic/Neo Nazi Synthesis", dealt with the link between neo-Nazi and satanic beliefs in New Zealand.[1][18] It had been passed by the university, had been reviewed by senior academics from two other universities, and had received full class honors.[1][17] Professor Dov Bing, who supervised the thesis, called it a first-class piece of work.[1][17] Bolton claimed the thesis was "poorly researched" and was "a poorly contrived smear-document against a private individual, namely myself".[1][11] After criticism from the Tertiary Education Union,[19] Vice Chancellor Crawford issued a one-page letter stating that the thesis was sound because it had been externally examined by "two well qualified academics".[20]
In December 2009 Bolton filed a complaint with the Broadcasting Standards Authority concerning the Ideas program on Radio New Zealand National, which featured Marxist poet and sociologist Scott Hamilton. Hamilton had stated that Bolton was an avid "holocaust denier", had a "close relationship" with the revisionist Adelaide Institute, insinuated himself into the anti-war movement where he made anti-Semitic and "holocaust denial" statements, and exercised a bad political influence over "unwary youth". Bolton claimed that all of Hamilton's allegations were incorrect. The Broadcasting Standards Authority initially upheld Bolton's complaint on all grounds, and criticised Radio New Zealand for not having verified the accuracy of Hamilton's statements before airing the program,[21] but reversed this decision in December 2010 and declined to uphold any of Bolton's complaints. However, the BSA also declined to form an opinion on the allegations made by Scott Hamilton, and stated "for the record" the complaint would have been better made under the "fairness" clause.[22]
In December 2009 Bolton complained to the Press Council against a lengthy feature article run by The Press, Christchurch, "A Right Muddle" by John McCrone. Bolton stated that the article wrongly implied that Bolton was a "neo-Nazi Satanist", that he was associated with "white power" and "pseudo-fascist views", that he was involved with the National Front and was the founder of New Right New Zealand, among other matters. The Press Council in a ruling dated for release as 26 March 2010, upheld the complaint, determining that the article is "inaccurate and biased".[23]

In the following video, Joel South reviews three important issues that investors need to watch regarding Energy Transfer Partners.
First, distributions. The company pays a 7.6% distribution yield, but the rate hasn't increased since 2008. The company should see revenue growth from its Sunoco acquisition and its $3.1 billion buildout since 2010, and distribution growth should follow.
Second, fee-based contracts. This type of agreement has a customer leasing pipelines from ETP, insuring cash flow and, in turn, lowering borrowing costs. ETP hasn't been effective in this area in the past. Watch to see whether management improves corporate cash flow with this sort of leasing term going forward.
Third, Sunoco's contribution. In theory, Sunoco should increase cash flow and earnings by giving ETP exposure to Eagle Ford shale oil and Utica and Marcellus shale gas.
The surge in oil and natural gas production from hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling is creating massive bottlenecks in takeaway capacity. However, this problem for producers creates a massive and immensely profitable opportunity for midstream companies. Energy Transfer Partners helps alleviate the gluts in supply with 23,500 miles of transformational pipelines. To see if ETP and its industry-leading yield will be a fit for you, click on this detailed premium report, which will supply you with a thorough analysis of this midstream.

Sadly, the sweeteners were straight out of the jello box. Another thing I did not even look at, knowing it was not primal. I do know how to make from-scratch primal desserts, but none of my friends are primal, and the palate really is different. What I find to be way too sweet now, is just right for them. And just right for me: well, the last thing I want to see when I give my friends dessert is a pucker and a forced smile.
So I poured sugar-free raspberry jello over a big pile of frozen organic raspberries, just enough to hold them all together. A scoop of that in a small bowl, topped with whipped cream (two cups of heavy whipping cream with 2 T of sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix). Top THAT with half a dozen fresh raspberries. Worth the vague jitters I have had today. Knowing I would be feeling antsy, and like I just wanted to put something in my mouth, made it easier to deal with the feeling. Granted, this does not always work. But today I was strong. I was going to see a movie ('Gone'- really enjoyed it) and was determined to eat nothing at the theater. Before I left I had a small Liquid Fat Bomb. I was able to smell the popcorn without wanting any. Two points for me.
And now, flush with success, I am going to bed ON TIME!
Night, night.

Luck and hard work helped reunite a local veteran with his stolen war medals.
A burglar stole nine engraved medals from Roy Hopper's home last month.
When a local business owner spotted someone trying to sell the medals at his store, he held onto the medals and scared the burglar off.
By coincidence, an off-duty police officer was walking into the store at the time. Nobody has been arrested yet, but the officer helped get the medals to the veteran's neighbor.
The 89-year-old veteran is still in the hospital after surgery. His neighbor plans to return the medals Wednesday.

Banner head
Late Tang to Five Dynasties, 800-900 AD
Plain and samite weave in silk
Width 82.5 cm x height 44 cm
Museum no. LOAN:STEIN.299 (Ch.0076)

On loan from Government of India and the Archaeological Survey of India
This triangular silk textile would once have formed the top part of a Buddhist ritual banner. The border is of samite showing orange floral roundels on a blue ground. The infill is of plain woven red silk with a glazed appearance and shows the painted outline in pale yellow of a seated Buddha figure with eyes in black. The textile has been analysed with Raman microscopy in an attempt to identify any pigments and dyes present. It revealed that the pale yellow lines were painted with the arsenic-containing pigment, orpiment, which is fairly common in Chinese paint.

2. She's not always cool, calm and collected: After being part of la famiglia for five years on The Sopranos, the idea of joining a new cast gave her butterflies. "(At first) I was very nervous going onto another set," she says. But Joey costar Matt LeBlanc put her at ease. "(He) sent me a huge thing of flowers with a note saying, 'You belong here.' That meant a lot to me." How about the change from drama to comedy? Not a bad deal, says de Matteo: "Palm trees. No heroin. No beating."
3. She's a rebel: At 18, de Matteo got her first tattoo – a tiny cross on her ankle. "My mom was so mad, she threw me out. So I went out and had her name tattooed on my wrist. My dad's too," says the New York University film school graduate. She's still every bit as spirited today: "You ask her something stupid, and you'll get a kick in the butt," says former Sopranos costar Tony Sirico.
4. She's got an eye for fashion: Unlike her Sopranos character, Adriana, de Matteo isn't partial to Prada and Gucci. In fact, her look is rock 'n' roll all the way. In 1997, de Matteo and ex-boyfriend Michael Sportes opened their own East Village boutique, Filth Mart, which specializes in vintage rock T-shirts, jeans and other hipster paraphernalia. Among the shop's celebrity fans: Lenny Kravitz, designer Stella McCartney and Liv Tyler.

The Kelowna International Airport is reporting another record breaking month.
Last month was the busiest March on record with 131,185 passengers. That's over 7,700 more than a year prior and almost 4000 more passengers compared to March 2010.
Communications manager, Jenelle Hynes says last month was actually one of the busiest ever for YLW.
"It came only second as our busiest month ever in YLW history. The closest number we had in YLW history came in August 2010 when we had 131,914 passengers."
Hynes says March hasn't been a record breaking month for a number of years.
She says there was an increase of passengers from Ontario flying into Kelowna for the end of ski season.

Growing up, I always wanted a treehouse. Nothing fancy, just a bunch of scrap boards nailed together.
I'm finally living my dream of building a house without a Dumpster, reusing framing materials and old wood from the original home. And even though I never got to hang out in my own fort in the trees, I can give that gift to our son, Chase. Staying true to the Reuse Everything eXperiment, nothing has been spent on materials other than the posts in the ground and the hardware.
I'm excited to see the 1/16-inch cedar shakes that adorned the old living room walls reused as roof shingles for the treehouse. The shakes filled three large garbage bags and took up a lot of space, so I'm relieved that they've been put to good use.
Chase will spend endless hours hanging out in his special place, and I will get the chance to join him and become a child again.
-- Shannon
Shannon Quimby is building a new house on Southeast Rex Street by using the pieces of an old house rather than putting a scrap of it into the landfill. She writes about the project -- called the Reuse Everything eXperiment -- each Tuesday and Thursday.

International Women's Day: Some of our heroes
Today is International Women's Day. The global day celebrates the achievements of women: past, present and future.
In honor of the day, we're showcasing and celebrating some remarkable women. There are so many that fit into this category but we'll start with just a few:
Marie Curie (1867-1934)
Polish-born physicist and chemist Marie Curie, who researched radioactivity, moved to France. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person to win in multiple sciences. Her work served as a foundation for modern day physics. She broke barriers and paved the way for women in her fields. Continue reading "International Women's Day: Some of our heroes" »
Celebrating: National Women's History Month
March is National Women's Month in the United States. It has been observed annually since 1987 to honor women's contributions to society, history and culture.
American women have achieved many firsts; here are a few:
- The first convention held to advocate women's rights was at Seneca Falls, New York in 1848.
- In 1869, Wyoming Territory was the first US territory to grant women the right to vote.
- The first woman elected to an American political office was Susanna Salter, mayor of Argonia, Kansas in April 1887.
- Elizabeth Blackwell was the first accredited American female doctor and founded the first medical school for women.
- Edith Wharton became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel - The Age of Innocence - in 1921.
- In 1928, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to successfully fly more than 20 hours across the Atlantic.
This year's theme is "Women Inspiring Innovation through Imagination," which recognizes the contributions and achievements of women in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering.
In honor of International Women's Day next week, we will publish some of our favorite inspirational stories of women in your family tree.
Do you have women in your family who were pioneer inventors? Do you have any stories of women ancestors' contribution to society, culture and innovation? We'd like to hear your stories. Share them in the comments below, or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Genealogy: Why women are hard to find
According to this article in News OK, it's more difficult to find female ancestors.
Some reasons are that women had no voting rights, no land ownership rights, and their names changed after marriage.
Thus, there were fewer documents containing relevant information, or it was hard to find the connections between existing documents and a later marriage, with a new surname.
This makes it hard to locate our female ancestors as well as their extended families.
Today, in most countries, women are equal citizens in every way, and enjoy full property ownership and voting rights. Many women either retain their maiden names or the new couple creates a double-barreled surname. These social changes could arguably make researching our female ancestors a bit easier - at least in the future.
People like genealogy because of the challenge of finding new family members.
Have you had problems locating female ancestors? Are there those you have not yet identified? Were you able to find them? What resources did you use to overcome a specific challenge?
We'd like to learn about your experiences via the comments below.
International Women's Day: Your stories
We've had a terrific response to our "International Women's Day: Heroines in your family" post, where we invited you to submit stories about the incredible women in your families.
The stories we received highlight how women left their mark on their families while remaining a shining example for future generations.
Here are a few examples to inspire you as much as they inspired us. Thank you for sharing them.

The posting brings her into an underworld of transvestite clubs and young homeless runaways—some of them with AIDS—rummaging through garbage cans for food and sniffing model-airplane glue to gain oblivion.
Tennison immediately tucks into a murder when the charred remains of a "rent boy" (male prostitute) are found in a flat. Things turn dicey when it becomes apparent that certain powerful men—some of them from Scotland Yard—do not want her looking too closely into the death. The investigation slowly uncovers a monstrous history of institutional pederasty.
In this tantalizing Mystery! feast airing over the next four weeks, Mirren is once again marvelous as a determined professional swimming against a tide of intrigue. In Prime Suspect 2 she gave up smoking; this time she gives up something considerably more precious. David Thewlis is memorable as a dissolute and dangerous chicken hawk. Tom Bell, Ciaran Hinds and Peter Capaldi costar.

It's 2005, and Motor City is a shambles. The forces of evil run rampant. Fortunately for us, a supremely efficient law-enforcement machine patrols the streets of Detroit. Yes, as you probably guessed from the title, the B-movie cyber-action series is now a TV cyber-action series.
Richard Eden plays the former cop killed in the line of duly, then reanimated and mechanized. He fights crime while haunted by visions from his human past. Yvette Nipar and Blu Mankuma play his allies on the force.
The formula translates well to the small screen in part because the original source material was pretty cheesy to begin with and in part because the RoboDude is one potent multimedia icon.
ABC (Sun., May 1, 9 p.m. ET)
In this Hallmark Hall of Fame production, Sissy Spacek plays a committed nurse, the supervisor of a pediatric intensive-care unit. She finds herself irresistibly drawn to her most helpless and heartbreaking patient, a 9-week-old baby girl, born HIV-positive and heroin-addicted to a junkie mother who promptly abandoned her.
Unwilling to accept the sad, short life for which this child appears fated as a ward of the state, Spacek, a single mother with a teenage son, volunteers to become Annie's foster mom. For help she hires an imposing recent widow (Joan Plowright) to care for the baby while she's at work.
The following year, Annie's bitter, hard-knocked mom (Mary-Louise Parker) turns up with advanced AIDS but claiming to have given up drugs and demanding her daughter back.
In a season of powerful performances by TV leading ladies (Diana Ross, Bette Midler, the aforementioned Helen Mirren), Spacek trumps them all with a remarkably natural and subtle portrait of compassion. Parker and Plowright provide strong support. You'll need sponges to watch this simple, affecting film. Tissues just ain't going to do it.
CBS (Sun., May 1, 9 p.m. ET)
On the threshold of her 100th birthday (phone Willard!), august Lucy Marsden sits swamped with memories in a retirement home in the South. She earns the distinction of the title by virtue of having married, at the tender age of 15, a Civil War veteran (a bushy-bearded Donald sutherland) older than her parents—a man who eventually becomes a living monument. Her husband, who is a little addled with ghosts from the past himself, fathers six children with her. Diane Lane plays Lucy the younger; Anne Bancroft plays Lucy the elder.
is maddeningly languorous in pace.
For anyone who has read the intoxicating novel by Allan Gurganus on which this is based, the TV version will seem paltry and rather shrill. Cicely Tyson, Blythe Danner and E.G. Marshall costar.
THE DISNEY CHANNEL PRESENTS THE Superstar Concert at Knebworth (Sun., May 1, 9 p.m. ET), a benefit show taped on a windy day in 1990 at the outdoor venue near London. The lineup pretty well simulates the core play-list at a "classic rock" radio station: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant (with his Led Zep mate Jimmy Page), Elton John, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd. As they prove in this economical concert film, these tour-tested troupers still know how to keep a stadium full of people swaying.
TWO HOUSEHOLD NAMES REPRISE TV roles this week. On Friday, NBC has MacShayne: Final Roll of the Dice (April 29, 9 p.m. ET). Kenny Rogers returns as the rakish troubleshooter at a Vegas hotel-casino. This time he's dealt a Latin spitfire singer (Maria Conchita Alonso) accused of murder. On Monday (May 2,9 p.m. ET), ABC's Columbo: Undercover is a nifty puzzle based on an Ed McBain story. Peter Falk chucks the raincoat for a series of bad disguises, which fool no one. Columbo's superior officer, by the way, is portrayed by Hank Garrett, who has been playing cops on TV since 1961 when he was officer Ed Nicholson on Car 54, Where Are You?

Awesome Potential Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 17th, 2013
Firstly let me say I am so glad I bought this trick. The beauty is in its simplicity and adaptability. You are given 8 different handlings plus some brief but useful passes and moves. If you can't find a way of incorporating this into your style of performance, then you're not even trying.
The teaching style is very impromptu (think youtube) and the video quality isn't polished (the autofocus on the camera constantly struggles to find its range) but it will not prevent you from learning these effects.
Although the beauty is in the simplicity, I did find it took quite a bit of practice to be able to repeatedly and cleanly execute the effect. It was time well spent, just don't expect to be expertly performing this 20mins after watching.
Overall, a great set of effects for those who know their basic card passes, lifts & flips. For beginners, definitely still buy this but get a card basics DVD too.
KILLER, visual magic! Report this review

I caught the trailer for John Stessel and JM's "Merge" and I was blown away by the visual changes. If it wasn't JM, I would have thought it was trick photography or some magicians punk'ing us on youtube. I hit the order button immediately! JM is the Paul Harris for a new generation! Justin's methods and routines have improved the way I perform magic!
Merge has something for everyone, from beginner to a seasoned worker. It's visual, in their face magic that you will do!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 24th, 2015
This is brilliant! The only criticism that I have is the production quality and the mobile phone that keeps going off in the background while the effects are explained. That I've still given this 5 stars despite that tells you how good this really is. It's not just the merge effect either, it's all the routines you get to use the principle with and the bonus extra moves and routines that you get with it. Amazing value and amazing magic.

Thousands Of Candles Used To Wish Tokyo Good Luck In Olympic Bid
Two days before Tokyo hears whether it will host the 2020 Olympics, a message of good luck was written out using 2,020 candles at a temple in the city.
Tokyo's bid was an early favorite compared to those of opponents Istanbul and Madrid, but continuing leaks at the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear plant have been seen by some Japanese themselves as threatening the city's chances, in spite of reassurances by the government.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC), meeting in Argentina, will decide on Saturday (September 7) who will get the 2020 Games.
Japan pledged nearly half a billion dollars this week to contain leaks and decontaminate radioactive water stored at Fukushima that threaten the clean-up from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that crippled the plant and almost brought the country's nuclear power industry to a halt.
As Saturday's decision approaches, Tokyo's Olympic bid team has emphasized what it says is Japan's economic strength and the opportunities available in Asia.

Western New York is rich with great places to get excellent Sahlen's hot dogs, fresh off the charcoal grill. But what if somebody in your group doesn't like hot dogs?
Milton's is one of the local places that does hot dogs right and also offers enough other choices so nobody feels left out.
Milton's has the bright blue and orange decor on the corner of the intersection of Union Road and Walden Avenue in Cheektowaga. It shares a parking lot with its brother restaurant, Alton's, which offers a wider variety of food. Both Milton's and Alton's have several Greek-accented choices.
The menu at Milton's starts with the dogs (single or red hot for $2.19, with cheese for $2.49, footlong for $3.29), but it also has burgers ($2.19); classic sandwiches such as honey Dijon turkey ($4.79) and chicken breast with lettuce and tomato ($4.49); subs (up to $7.29 for a whole steak and cheese); roast beef ($4.69, beef and cheddar for $4.99); and pita wraps ($4.69).
The place was quiet around noon on a Saturday, so although John, Pat, John and I needed a few minutes to examine the options, we had no trouble standing in front of the grill and reading the menu boards. There are also paper menus if you need to sit down and peruse. Don't miss the whiteboard list of specials and the soup of the day off to one side.
The dogs are thrown on the classic hardwood-charcoal grill when ordered and are dressed with all the usual condiments while you watch. We ordered and found a table in the adjacent bright, solariumlike room. Our food came out pretty quickly on two trays, and we all dug in.
The footlong ($3.29) was, as expected in a place where the standards are high, extremely good. It was charred just well enough to be delicious and served on a fresh roll (we watched the Costanzo's truck leave the parking lot after making another delivery). The long dog was accented by three pickle spears, which reached from end to end -- there was no need to have a bite without pickle.
A beef on weck ($4.69), another specialty of the house, was also nicely done. The beef was sliced medium-thick, not shaved, and still tender. It was the tiniest bit dry, but a smear of potent horseradish made that immaterial. The weck roll could have had more salt and caraway seeds, but it was fresh and delicious. We made this sandwich a combo for an extra $2.29, so it was served with fries and a fill-it-yourself fountain drink. The fries were pretty plain, and unfortunately, one of the two paper dishes of fries ($1.79 per serving when not in a combo) was cooling rapidly, while the other was much warmer.
A side of onion rings ($2.19) also seemed to have waited too long before being served, but they were good enough, with a crunchy, substantial, dark brown breading.
One of the day's specials was a sausage sandwich ($6.99 with a side and drink). The sausage patty was square, which for some reason amused us, and it was also delicious, mildly spiced and cooked on the grill to perfection. Soft cooked onions added flavor.
For a side, we ordered soup, which on this day was called country chicken. It sounded interesting, but when it arrived in a small bowl, the soup was far beyond interesting -- it was exceptional. It had a tomato base and was full of obviously home-chopped vegetables, including zucchini, broccoli, onions and red peppers, as well as small shell macaroni. It was delicious.
Also delicious, but a bit challenging to handle, was the chicken souvlaki pita wrap ($4.69). It was served in a soft pita bread that was thicker than a normal wrap and only large enough to enclose three-quarters of the filling. It could not be lifted up to be eaten and had to be attached with knife and fork. But it was worth the trouble because it was extremely good, with high-quality chunks of chicken breast, crisp lettuce, tomatoes and a delicious dill sauce, making it a harmonious combination.

Janus Clinical Trials Repository (CTR)
The Janus CTR is a data warehouse for subject-level clinical trial data submitted to FDA as part of a marketing application. The repository provides FDA review staff easy access to clinical trial data to support regulatory review and to support analyses across studies that address public health and research questions as they emerge. FDA developed the repository jointly with the National Cancer Institute. The CTR has been operational at the FDA's White Oak Data Center since January 2015.
FDA makes the conceptual model publicly available at no cost. The data themselves are proprietary and therefore not publicly releasable. The model is informed by the Biomedical Research Integrated Domain Group (BRIDG) Domain Model (see http://www.bridgmodel.org/). CTR is designed to receive data in CDISC SDTM[1] format and can support other emerging study data exchange standards, such as HL7 v3, FHIR,[2] and RDF.[3] Standardized study data submitted to FDA should adhere to the study data validation rules published on the Study Data Standards Resources page on fda.gov.
CTR development remains iterative, and we expect the model to evolve as new requirements emerge and alternative solutions are considered.
Viewing the model requires the use of Enterprise Architect. A free viewer (EALite) is available for download.
The FDA is providing the Janus CTR conceptual model for informational purposes only. The FDA is not able to answer specific questions related to any third party implementation. For general questions, please contact email@example.com.

Prime Minister Harper's Inaction on Climate Killed the Keystone XL Oilsands Pipeline
Emma Gilchrist | September 2, 2015
By Emma Gilchrist • Wednesday, September 2, 2015 - 13:43
With U.S. President Barack Obama expected to deny a permit to the Keystone XL pipeline this fall, Canada's oil industry is looking for someone to blame.
The National Post's Claudia Cattaneo wrote last week that "many Canadians … would see Obama's fatal stab as a betrayal by a close friend and ally" and that others "would see it as the product of failure by Stephen Harper's Conservative government to come up with a climate change plan."
The latter is the more logical conclusion. Obama has made his decision-making criteria clear: he won't approve the pipeline if it exacerbates the problem of carbon pollution.
Even the U.S. State Department's very conservative analysis states the Keystone XL pipeline would "substantially increase oilsands expansion and related emissions." The Environmental Protection Agency has agreed.
While Canada's energy reviews take into account "upstream benefits" — such as jobs created in the oilsands sector as a result of pipelines — they don't even consider the upstream environmental impacts created by the expansion of the oilsands.
For all the bluster and finger-pointing, there's no covering up the fact that Canada's record on climate change is one of broken promises.

Construction on the half million dollar Streetscape Project in downtown Stevensville is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 6. A groundbreaking ceremony was held last Friday.
The majority of the improvements will take place on the four corners of 2nd and Main Street, where existing sidewalks will be replaced with bulb-outs and landscaping. Other scheduled work includes replacing all the dips in the sidewalks on Main Street between 1st and 4th Streets that are no longer used as driveways, as well as some improvements at the corners of 1st and Main, 3rd and Main, 4th and Main, and East 2nd. The project is being coordinated with the Montana Department of Transportation which has planned a paving project for this summer through downtown Stevensville. The Town of Stevensville is also a major partner in the project, with town crews providing much of the demolition work. The project is being funded by Ravalli County through a federal Community Transportation Enhancement Program (CTEP) grant which the Stevensville Main Street Association applied for. The Main Street Association successfully raised about $60,000 in matching grant funds.
Sidewalk demolition work will start on the east side of the 100 block of Main, specifically in front of Blacksmith Brewery (114 Main Street), Lutzenhiser Jewelry (116 Main St.) and Primoris Jewelry (118 Main Street). The southeast corner at the Stevi Café will be left until a later time in the project to coordinate with a town water project involving the hydrant on that corner.
According to officials from Knife River and WGM Engineering, construction of sidewalks in front of businesses will be completed in the shortest time frame possible to minimize disruption to businesses. Every effort will be made to ensure customer accommodations and traffic safety.
Should you have other questions or concerns, contact the Stevensville Main Street Association at 777-3773.

The Lottery
If you've been following the news I'm sure you are well aware of the state budget crises and the effect this is having on teachers and other public service employees. Adding to their woes are two new documentaries about public schools and education. I had a chance to see "The Lottery". The library also owns, "Waiting for Superman" but I'm still waiting in line for that one. I've heard that both are great but I've only seen "The Lottery".
In a section of Harlem, New York there are a few public schools and a couple of abandoned buildings. A group of teachers and administrators apply for a charter to put schools in those abandoned buildings. The charter schools open their doors through the use of a process called a lottery; hence the title of the film. Applicants fill out forms for a limited number of spaces and then the applicants are randomly drawn for that year until the process repeats itself next year. Sounds good so far, right? Well, imagine how the regular public school teachers feel when the charter school teachers are receiving all the positive attention. Of course it's far more complex than that, but to give you an idea what it's like, please watch the trailer below.

LUBBOCK - In quiet moments, the tormenting demons resurface for Texas Tech guard Rene Hanebutt. She'll be walking to class or resting in bed when visions of leprechauns dance in her head.
Well, not exactly leprechauns. More like Notre Dame basketball players, firing in long-range jumpers over the top of Tech's matchup zone defense. Or scoring at will inside, when Hanebutt and friends scramble to stop the onslaught from outside.
It has been 51 weeks since Notre Dame put the brakes on Tech's 1998 NCAA Tournament run with a shocking, 74-59 upset in Lubbock. As the Red Raiders (28-3) prepare for today's opening-round game of the 1999 tournament against Stephen F. Austin (17-11) at Lubbock Municipal Coliseum, they are determined to use last year's surprising second-round exit as fuel toward the program's sixth trip to the Sweet 16 since 1991.
"I still have nightmares about that game," said Hanebutt, a senior from Bowie. "That was one of the most disturbing losses of my career. It's definitely been in the back of our minds all year that, once we get to the NCAAs, we won't let something like that happen to us again."
Other players echoed similar vows. In fact, the Notre Dame loss hit such a nerve with Tech coach Marsha Sharp that she used it as the springboard to overhauling her defensive philosophy.
After watching the Fighting Irish hit 50 percent from the field in that contest, Sharp switched her team's primary defensive alignment from zone to man-to-man. Tech, the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Midwest Region, has limited opponents to 40.1 percent shooting this season, with an increase of two turnovers per game by its foes.
The change, Sharp said, "makes me feel safer" in matchups against teams with top-notch perimeter shooters. In the estimation of rival Big 12 coaches, it also makes Tech a more versatile and more dangerous team than at this time last season.
"No question, they're better," said Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly, whose team fell to Tech, 73-59, last week in the final of the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo. "It takes a lot of courage for them to make a change like that to try and get to the next level. But it's worked out well and it's been a great step for them."
Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford said: "I think it's one of the best stories this season, from a national standpoint. Texas Tech had a great team last year. But Marsha was disappointed in what they did in the NCAAs. So she vowed that this team was going to be better on defense and be able to play more than a zone. Believe me, they've done it. We couldn't do anything against them."
During a 77-59 loss to Tech in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament, Nebraska's top scorers, guards Nicole Kubik and Brooke Schwartz, combined to shoot 25 percent from the field. In the first half of a regular-season meeting on Jan. 20, Tech limited Iowa State's starters to a combined 1 of 23 from the floor while amassing a 28-9 lead en route to a 71-47 rout.
Such numbers, Sharp said, are encouraging. But even more encouraging might be the resolve of the Lady Raiders to capitalize on lessons learned against Notre Dame. Of the nine members of Tech's regular player rotation, eight suited up in last year's loss to the Fighting Irish. All are eager to begin making amends for that debacle.
"It's still in the back of our minds and it's been there all year," point guard Melinda Schmucker said. "It's not going to go away until we do something about it. The lesson we learned is to take one game at a time and not take anyone lightly. Because of that game, we realize how critical every possession in each game is. Last year, we weren't ready to go out and play that type of game."

Originally published at: http://www.howtogeek.com/179789/htg-explains-what-is-bios-and-when-should-i-use-it/
The BIOS on your computer is essential for it to function, yet it remains behind the scenes. In this article, you will discover what this hidden software does, and the reasons why you may need to access it someday.
A Good Article but OEM Non-Builder Machines do not have very many configurable settings in their Bios thus leaving folks with Pre-Built Machines "up the preverbal creek without a paddle".
As a side note, I haven't found any instructions on How to Upgrade Flash a MS Surface Pro 2 or any other new mini machines either.
Im sorry, but you said to experiment with your BIOS:
Experiment for yourself so you can utilize BIOS in the future when you need to troubleshoot a problem or configure an advanced system setting.
This is an absolutely a horrible suggestion. Never change BIOS settings unless you have a very good idea what will happen, as well as know how to recover from making a change that breaks your system.
Intel Corporation does NOT agree with you. (LOL) (LOL)
Wait... what? Long as you don't mess with overclock settings that your processor hasn't been meant for, or don't flash wrong BIOSes, nothing can happen you can't reverse (far as I know).
As to remarks by ACF and NSDCars5: More like this - yes, whatever you do is reversable, but also yes, you can really mess things up. So, if you don't know what your doing (like moi), start by doing one thing at a time, keeping track of what you did and what effect that change had. Then you will not get in trouble you have no idea how to fix.
Disclaimer: this is a non expert opinion, subject to revision, but I think (for the moment, at least) good procedure.
Well, it's the way I learned my way around BIOS, and no harm ever came of it. As the article says, just be careful that, after messing around, you don't "exit and save changes". Just "discard changes and exit" - I believe that's the wording that most BIOS use.
How else are you supposed to practice using BIOS other than to use it? I definitely agree that you don't want to save any changes unless you're aware what that change does and how to recover from it, as you said.
