A CHANCE meeting at a conference six months ago has led to JSE-listed Zeder Investments making its first acquisition outside SA with the purchase of a 96% stake in a Zambian agricultural operation for R375m.
Zeder, which is 42% owned by investments company PSG, is also spending R150m to fully acquire local seed company Agricol.
Announcing the two deals yesterday, PSG CEO Piet Mouton said they marked a new thrust in the group's expansion into Africa. The group is taking small steps into a region that is attracting local and international investors.
They are being drawn by high economic growth rates and an expanding middle class, and sectors attracting them include consumer and financial services and mining.
PSG, through a new unit, PSG Africa, has already entered the consumer sector through its purchase of consumer goods distributor CA Enterprises of Botswana for R300m.
Mr Mouton said the investment in Chayton Africa, the Zambian agricultural venture, was a bold statement by Zeder of its intention to become a major player in the commercial agricultural sector in the region.
"This marks something of a change of strategy for Zeder," Mr Mouton said. He said the deal had taken about six months to conclude - the first advance was made at a conference with investors in Chayton Africa.
The Zambian operation had 1250ha under commercial farming and it planned to extend this to about 10000ha over the next two years.
"Zeder believes the Chayton management is key to realising the full potential of this investment and takes significant comfort from management's proven track record in developing and managing large-scale African commercial farms," Zeder said in a regulatory announcement yesterday.
"Zeder is excited about the role that Africa, with its vast agricultural resources, could play in addressing the growing global demand for food and believes that Chayton is the appropriate vehicle to grow into a premier sub-Saharan African agribusiness," it said.
In the same announcement, Zeder said it would, through wholly owned subsidiary Zeder Financial Services, increase its stake in Agricol from 25,1% to 100% for R150,4m.
"Zeder views its acquisition of Agricol as an important phase in its investment strategy and plans to use this vehicle to drive a South African and an African expansion in the seed business," the company said.

Every year there is a small school prospect that takes the draftniks by surprise and gets drafted relatively early despite not receiving an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine. In 2009, Jason Williams of Western Illinois and Derek Cox of William & Mary were drafted in the top 75 picks even though they weren't in Indianapolis for the combine. In 2010, it was Larry Hart of Central Arkansas that didn't get a combine invite.
Southern Illinois cornerback Korey Lindsey-Woods would rank among the top small school players that will not get to display his talents at combine. On Josh Buchanan's latest small school draft board he ranked Lindsey-Woods as the 7th best small school prospect and the top small schooler to not receive a combine invite.
In his three seasons as starting cornerback for the Salukis, Lindsey-Woods was named to the first team All-MVFC all three times. He was a first team AP All-American in both his junior and senior season and a third team AP All-American in his sophomore season.
"I want to dominate every play. I feel that I am plus one against the receiver. I have the motor for just wanting to win."- Korey Lindsey-Woods
Without a combine invite, the pro day for the 5'11, 192 pound cornerback will become very important. He has good size for an NFL cornerback, but will need to display that he has enough speed to match. In NationalFootballPost's review of Lindsey-Woods, they described him as someone who would fit best in a zone scheme where he could key on the quarterback and break on the ball.
Despite not receiving an invite to the combine, Lindsey-Woods did relatively well at the shrine game practices and displayed a lot of talent albeit a little raw. He is likely to be a mid-round pick in April.

Paul George Leaves Cartoons Behind
Paul George projects his draft position somewhere between the late lottery and pick 29. His strong play during today's Combine activities only added to the increasingly noisy buzz associated with the Fresno State star.
George doesn't care where he is drafted, so long as he plays on the wing.
Paul George envisions himself as an NBA shooting guard, although he's fine switching between the 2, 3, and 4, depending on the floor match-ups. But mark this: he doesn't want to play center.
George is a self-made wing. And it's a fun story.
George's dalliance with tall began at an early age. During his early years of organized basketball, YMCA coaches preferred to play him at center, which he detested. So he struck back. He gave up cartoons.
"I stopped watching cartoons and practiced dribbling in the garage," George explained. "I wanted to be a wing. Wasn't gonna play center. Had to give up the cartoons."
I laughed, but George would have none of it. "I liked those cartoons. They weren't easy to give up."
George was the best interview from Day 1. Calm, professional, confident, genuine.
George was surprised to learn of internet reports suggesting he wowed the Spurs during his May 13 workout.
"I don't know about that, " he explained. "It was my first workout and I got jittery when I saw Pop on the sidelines."
George is not sure where he'll be drafted. His biggest concern is landing with a team that will provide him the playing time he needs to succeed. The situation with the Spurs is attractive, and George sees a great opportunity for himself playing behind Manu Ginobili and Richard Jefferson. "Maybe Manu could teach me that Eurostep," he joked.
But George is a hot name around the league, and, so far as we know, he possesses two functioning ACLs. It's hard to see him slipping to the Spurs at 20. But he was one of a few attractive wings that could, however remote the possibility, slide to the Spurs at 20.

Dear Mom
This article is a letter from Saint Vincent nurse Linda Lloyd to her mother, the late Muriel Lloyd, a former nurse and mentor who died this year.
Dear Mom,
Since Nurses Week and Mother's Day are so close together, I have been thinking of you a lot and wanted to write this letter to thank you for being my loving, caring, dedicated and fearless nurse and mother.
I followed you and your mother into nursing because of the qualities you exemplified daily in your lives and careers. The back of a shirt I bought reads: "If you want to know where health care is going, follow a nurse." I am so thankful for the experiences I had following in both of your footsteps.
Grandma nursed others during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 when many died. She also faced an angry dairy farmer holding a shotgun when she arrived on his property to test his well as the first Ashtabula County Health Nurse.
You joined the Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II to assist in the war effort on the homefront while still a nursing student. Your nursing career included hospital nursing in obstetrics and medical-surgical, public health nursing, and industrial nursing, with Girl Scout camp nursing and "neighborhood nurse" also under your cap.
When I was 12, you enlisted my help to take care of Grandma after she suffered a stroke. As a nursing student, you "hired" me to care for Grandma after surgery for a broken hip. It was a gift to me to have that time with Grandma and share nurse stories. It was a gift to you when 10 years later your mom died at home while you lovingly cared for her.
Because of these examples of love, I was able to experience the same gifts this year when you suffered a heart attack and congestive heart failure. After the physician explained your options, you agreed to go to the Cleveland Clinic for a heart catheterization and stent because you reasoned "the odds were better than winning the lottery." You met with the cardiologists and realistically told them, "You can't make me 50 again." When you added, "I really need a head transplant," they were puzzled. They laughed when you said, "because I can't remember s _ _ _!"
I was privileged to spend the next three weeks as your personal nurse. Our family surrounded you with hugs, flowers, love, prayers, broccoli cheddar soup (your favorite). You appreciated every visit.
You made me smile the day I shampooed and dried your hair with the body warmer on your bed (using all resources) and then filed your nails. Afterward, I leaned over and asked you if you knew where you were. You smiled and whispered, "beauty shop." You made my day, Mom!
Finally realizing that the efforts to improve your quality of life were not working, you courageously requested, "let me go." It was hard to hear you say these words.
I was amazed at all the Cleveland Clinic staff who wanted to say "goodbye" to you. They included the nurse aide on night shift, your cardiologist and his residents, and other staff who had taken care of you.
One of the residents came to see if you got your "head transplant" and said that he would never forget you because he had learned so much from you. He told me. "I must always listen to my patients, as they know best what they want."
Back home, I became your hospice caregiver. You died pain-free and peacefully seven days later. You were in the home that Dad built and surrounded by your loving family and friends. It was a gift and a privilege for all of us.
When I returned to work after being away for six weeks, I felt like a stranger. I put on a jacket that morning, and when I put my hands in the pockets, I found a crumpled tissue that had obviously been through the hospital laundry. I choked back the tears and then smiled. Thanks for coming to work with me to support me, Mom. You always told me to carry tissues because "you never know when you might need one." I laughed because you always had half a box of Puffs in every pocket so you would never be without.
A card I got from a friend says it all:
"They whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now ... wherever we are."
Mom, thanks for always being with me! Happy Nurses Week and happy Mother's Day!
Your loving daughter,
P.S. Give Grandma my love and a hug, too!
Linda Lloyd, R.N., B.S.N., C.N.O.R., C.R.N.F.A., is a certified nurse first assistant in the Saint Vincent Hospital operating rooms, where she has worked for more than 22 years. She credits her mother's love of nursing for steering her toward this career.

The Tel-Hai Academic College in Upper Galilee, Israel, is planning an international academic conference to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Palestine Campaign during the First World War and the British occupation of Jerusalem in 1917. The conference will be held on 3-6 September 2007 at the college's campus at Tel-Hai. Official languages: English and Hebrew with simultaneous translation.
The conference will examine the period and the campaign in historical perspective, emphasizing the broader context of the Great War in general and the war in the Middle Eastern theatre in particular.

The organizing committee seeks proposals on the following topics:
a) Strategy (including the campaign and region in the broader perspectives of a worldwide coalition war and a revolution in the military affairs).
b) Military and political dimensions (including topics of air warfare, technology, intelligence, military medicine, guerrilla warfare, political agreements, nationalism, peace negotiations and borders).
c) "Tommy" and "Johnny Turk" - the ordinary soldier and the campaign.
d) Civilian society and population in Palestine.
e) Cultural aspects (including images, literature, art and religion).
f) Historiography, ethos, commemoration and memory.
g) The significance of the campaign and the period for the country and the Middle East in general.

Sweeper System
The Sweeper System empties gaylords and octobins without human intervention
The Sweeper system is designed to automatically remove material from a gaylord or octobin type container without the need for human intervention.
The SWEEPER gets its name from the fact that it continuously "sweeps" the top level of the contents of the gaylord/octobin to the outer edges. The material is vacuumed up the rotating vertical pick up tube assembly, which in turn has a flexible hose and wand assembly that rotates. As the pick up tube assembly rotates the material is drawn up thru the vertical portion, and into the manufacturing process.
The motor that rotates the pick up tube is only activated when vacuum is sensed from the users conveying system. As the unit unloads the material from the gaylord/octobin, the counterbalance system allows the motor / control assembly to lower and follow the level of the material. When the sweeper reaches to the bottom of the container, there will be a small amount of material remaining, which can be easily removed with the Gaylord liner and returned to inventory.
Tel: 610-459-4300
Fax: 610-459-2700
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Available in the following models sizes.
Power Requirements: 120 VAC or 230 VAC, model dependent.
The Sweeper system is designed to automatically remove material from a gaylord type container without the need for human intervention. Learn more »
A vacuum switch allows the unit to operate only while your vacuum system is pulling material. Thus, this system is always ready, never has to be manually started or stopped. There is a Jog button to rotate the unit manually. Learn more »

Echoes of 9/11 in Highland
The Department of Homeland Security, formed in response to 9/11, made the initiative to put all responders on the same frequency range a priority. But it has failed to communicate adequately with localities about the matter, according to Yulan Fire Department president Jeff Haas.
The Yulan Fire Department objects to the proposal partly on financial grounds. To upgrade the equipment and shift bands would cost the county about $9 million, compared to $4 million to upgrade but stay low frequency. Furthermore, if a shift is made to high frequency, each individual fire department would have to come up with money in addition—in the case of Yulan, an estimated $40,000. As Hofaker complained, it would be, in effect, an unfunded mandate on the part of the county, similar to the unfunded mandates from the state that the county complains about.
Hofaker and other fire department personnel present also noted that the idea of fire departments communicating with police and other emergency responders directly is not in fact either necessary or in keeping with protocol; the protocol, and what they said works best, is to communicate to the various other emergency departments through their control centers. "They don't talk directly to us and I don't know that they ever will," said Haas.
Boyar noted that this is properly a county, not town, matter and proposed that the board confer with the Highland Lake Fire Department and other town emergency responders, to come up with a uniform response and decide what kind of intervention with the county on behalf of all such responders might be appropriate.

Timberland is saying goodbye to the only baseball coach it has ever known, Chris Pond.
After 17 years at the helm of the Wolves baseball program Pond announced last week he was leaving to become the baseball coach at Goose Creek.
It was a hard decision to leave, according to Pond, because of his players.
"Leaving the kids made it hard," said Pond, who was hired to start the Timberland baseball program at just 22 years of age after graduating from Coastal Carolina.
The opportunity to take over at GCHS was too big for Pond not to take. For one, living in Goose Creek, Pond is relieved of a 30-mile commute to work each day.
"The opportunity was great because their baseball team has been on the upswing," he said. "And I will be closer to home. I will get to see my daughter play a lot more as she plays for the middle school team at Stratford for volleyball and basketball."
Pond, who spent almost half his life wearing the Wolves' green and orange, will now sport the black and yellow of the Gators. But it's more than team spirit he's leaving behind.
"Leaving Timberland was tough because Art Craig is a close friend and boss," Pond said. "He and Coach Phillip Morgan taught me everything about being loyal and how to handle kids and any other type of situation that occurred.
"I owe my coaching success to them."
Craig said seeing Pond leave is tough, but coaching at Goose Creek is an excellent opportunity for his longtime coach.
"Coach Pond is one of those coaches that go beyond what is normally expected of a teacher and a coach," Craig said. "He takes a lot of these kids under his wing and becomes both a friend and a role model for them. All of our coaches do this but Chris is someone a lot of these kids look up to."
The move leaves Craig with a coaching vacancy in baseball and an assistant football coach position to fill as well. While Craig would have preferred the move to have happened earlier in the spring, he understands.
"It's a great opportunity for him and we wish him the best," Craig said. "He's left a great foundation with our baseball program at Timberland and we hope to find someone who can take what Coach Pond has built here forward to the next level."
Pond said the school, the students, parents and community embraced him for the past 17 years.
"I got along with everyone," he said. "I had a lot of community help and support from Danny Tracy who has volunteered for me for 10 years and also Duffy Wright and Herbie Orvin. Jerry Thrower would do anything I asked. If it needed to get done to the field it was done."
But at heart it's always about the kids.
"Literally I've known these kids since they were born and I treat my ball players like they're my own," he said. "I'm real close with my kids so it's tough."
Pond said he will take this same attitude to Goose Creek.
"I already know some of them already because my son grew up there playing at the rec center," he said. "In the next couple of weeks I'm going to watch some of them play and start to get to know them."
Pond moves from Region 7AA to Region 8AAAA that is stacked with solid rivals in Stratford, Cane Bay, Wando and West Ashley.
"I'm excited that I will have a lot of returners coming back, which is good coming into the region," he said. "I'm ready for challenge and I don't think I will have to motivate players to play."

Smells like team spirit
Every year, as we start to get Crew Shots submissions, I receive them as visual reminders of what a wide-ranging industry this is. It doesn't matter if I'm looking at a photo of a crew of 20 lined up around the fo'c'sle of a Bering Sea trawler or a chubby toddler plopped on a lobster trap, they always make me smile.

Easy winter brings bug boom and early shed, which causes prices to plummet
Low prices caused by the great lobster glut of 2012 echoed into the fall. Dockside lobster values remained far below pre-recession norms, and some fishermen pulled their gear early as Hurricane Sandy sounded a menacing finale to the season.

Caught by surprise
From U.S. Coast Guard reports
In February, the deck boss and crew of a catcher-processor began hauling back a last set in the Bering Sea west of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Steady snowfall and poor visibility had delayed the trip, and the crew had been working feverishly to make up for lost time.

After the man in the tote
By Tele Aadsen
Editor's note: This is the postscript of a Sept. 11 entry to the blog Hooked, titled "Lost at Sea: The Man in the Tote," about the crew of the boat who discovered Ryan Harris, a survivor of an Alaska fishing boat sinking, after he spent the night adrift in a fish tote.
After the Coast Guard hoisted Ryan Harris out of the sea, the helicopter disappeared into the clouds, Sitka-bound. Joel throttled up and angled the Nerka inland. I watched the empty tote bob in the waves behind us.

The American Fisherman
This is the third in a series of special sections which will feature in detail the commercial fisheries of the United States. A taste of the diversity of our fisheries was given in our earlier articles on Pacific trolling and trawling and New England longlining, lobstering, deep-sea scalloping and quahaugging.
On the following pages we get a close look at the small New England dragger, as typified by a Maine whiting boat out of Portland and a food fish dragger out of Stonington, Conn. Two Northwest fisheries - salmon gillnetting and halibut longlining - are also covered and we toke a look at the herring pound net fishery of the Chesapeake.
PHOTO BELOW shows Capt. Bob McLellan, right, and his brother Myron emptying the cod end of their trawl of a catch of whiting. Whiting is one of Maine's big summer fisheries and helps provide many small draggers with virtual year-round fishing - whiting in summer, shrimp in winter and groundfish in the 'tween seasons.

We're excited to announce that in July of 2003, Liverpool will be the focus of a range of training events in narrative therapy and community work, culminating in our 5th International Conference. This invigorating practice-based conference will be held over three days and two nights. Participants from a wide range of disciplines and countries will gather to explore the latest thinking in relation to narrative therapy and community work.
Carrying on the energy and thoughtfulness of this year's conference in Atlanta, USA, and previous conferences held in Australia, this Liverpool event promises the very latest thinking in narrative practice. Therapists, counsellors, nurses, teachers, doctors, psychologists, social workers and community workers from many different parts of the world will come together to discuss and share hopeful work that is happening with individuals, couples, families and communities.
We have chosen Liverpool as the venue for this conference because it is a port through which the histories of the peoples of Britain, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean and the Americas all intersect. We believe these histories will provide the context for a unique event.
Within the conference there will be a range of forums for conversations including: keynote addresses, skills-based seminars, practice- based workshops, and informal conversations in a range of settings. Launches of newly released books and journals will also take place, and throughout the event there will be many opportunities to talk informally with authors and presenters.
Working with issues associated with: children, mental health issues, couples, addictions, survivors and perpetrators of violence, young people, eating issues, mediation, supervision, teaching/training, death and dying, schools, practices of witnessing, reflecting teams, family therapy, HIV/AIDS, reclamation of cultural healing ways, coming to terms with family histories, working with gay, lesbian and transgender experiences, introductory and advanced practice-based sessions, community gatherings, spirituality, adoption, social services, considerations of culture and gender in therapy, healing the legacies of the past AND many more!
The conference is to be surrounded by a diversity of events. Experienced therapists and teachers will be holding one, two and five day workshops prior to the conference. Other events that will surround the conference include a women's gathering and a range of dinners and welcome lunches. A number of free events will also take place - including a free introductory workshop on narrative therapy, and a free evening talk by Michael White. We suggest you book in for a number of events and so make the most of your time in Liverpool!

Heidelberg- Johns Hopkins updates
May 28, 2010 - Zach Baker
Heidelberg puts runners on first and third with two out, but Lash is out looking at a pitch on the outside corner. No score through a half inning. Blue Jays coming up.
In the bottom half, Brian Youchak hits a ball down the right field line with two outs, but Ricardo Lizcano throws him out trying to make second. Good throw, better tag from Lash.
Threw 1 1/2 innings, no score. HU's Alex Monroe walked, and was at third with two outs, but Elvin Williams grounded to short to end the threat. So far, Heidelberg has been working the count, while Johns Hopkins has come up hacking.
Normally I'd say this favors Heidelberg, but the Blue Jays pitcher, Alex Eliopoulos, just threw 13 innings over a stretch of three days in their regional, so I'm not sure that's an issue here.
-Through five innings, still no score. Both starters are inducing grounders. Lots of them. I'm not sure if either team has really hit the ball hard yet. Under some circumstances, this upcoming inning would be Holt's last. But the freshman is pitching so well I don't see how Palm can pull him. Well, with a lead I can.
- Heidelberg breaks through in the sixth. Monroe walks to lead off, Andrew Buelow lays down a perfect bunt between the pitcher and first for a base hit. Andrzejczak bunts the runners over, then Elvin Williams fights off some tough pitches to ground out and plate Monroe. Lizcano follows with a single off the second baseman's glove for an RBI single and a 2-0 lead. Lizcano steals second and third, but Decker strikes out looking.
2-0 heading to the sixth. Maybe Holt's last inning.
Holt went 6 1/3, then was replaced by Andy Lowe. Lowe got a double play on his first pitch, and Heidelberg went to the bottom of the eighth up. 2-0.
Lowe retired the first batter in the eighth, but then Sam Wernick beat out an infield single, and the Chris Huisman and Brian Youchak each hit RBI doubles to right to tie the game.
Lowe retired the next two to get out of trouble. We're tied in the top of the ninth.
Decker led of the ninth with a sharp single to right center. Gar Keen bunted him to second, then Willie Brechun singled off the third baseman to put runners at the corners.
That brought up Lash, who was 0 for 4 to that point. He hit the first pitch he saw up the middle for an RBI single and a 3-2 HU lead. That's where we stand now with one out in the ninth and runners on first and second.
Ryan Scherich relieves and hits Monroe (the third time the outfielder has been hit) and gets Buelow to hit an infield grounder that forces the runner at home. So it's up to Andrzejczak.
He lines to second. 3-2, three outs from a win, and a shot for Lowe at a win.
Lowe gets the first batter in the bottom of the ninth on a grounder to short, then retires Stephen Bejsiuk on another grounder to Lash. Then Bolyard falls behind 0-2. then strikes out. Tiffin, Ohio, you have a team that just beat theb No. 1 team in the nation. See you tomorrow night.

Prior awarded fellowship
Carrie Moore
Published: Thursday, October 25th, 2012
Jeff Prior, owner of Dakota Greens of Custer, recently received a 2012 Dakota Rising Fellowship after partners at Dacotah Bank mentioned joining the Southern Hills on the Rise group — a local community group of a state program called Dakota Rising. Southern Hills on the Rise encompasses both Fall River and Custer counties.
The program is for business entrepreneurs who help facilitate personal and executive level growth, community involvement, economic development and sustainable quality of life improvements throughout rural South Dakota communities — something Dakota Greens fits.
"We became involved in late 2011 when Dacotah Bank mentioned the upcoming fellowship recruitment and how Dakota Greens fits the mold of applying for this program," Prior said.
In addition, Southern Hills on the Rise also works with youth in the communities of these two counties and budding entrepreneurs, involving them and encouraging them on their path to business success.
Family-owned Dakota Greens started in 1999 as a roadside flower stand on the family property until 2004, when the nursery and greenhouse business began to steadily grow. Now Dakota Greens retails a full line of garden plants and supplies the city's hanging gardens every spring.
Prior completed an application, wrote a business plan and submitted it for review. Southern Hills site coordinator Cindy Turner liked the plan and visited Prior.
"She has guided us successfully through the many segments of the application to the final announcement of the fellowship and membership to the 2012 class," Prior said.

Get your credit report for free
There was a time, a couple of years ago, when you couldn't watch TV without seeing a commercial for freecreditreport.com.
The company used a pop group to sing about how you could improve your life by visiting the website and getting your credit report for free.
Except the report wasn't free. You only got it if you applied for a credit monitoring service that cost $14.95 a month.
Some people didn't realize they had bought the service until they saw their credit card bill.
But you can get your credit report for free up to three times a year by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com, said Caitlin Vancas, director of public relations for the Better Business Bureau of Western Penn sylvania.
"You have to go directly to the website and not through any pop-ups or links," Vancas said. "You can request a report once a year from each of the three nationwide reporting agencies -- Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. We recommend staggering your requests to them, so you can get three reports each year."
Why do you want your credit report? Because it's a record of your loans and payments, including credit cards.
It also lists who has checked your credit and the loans for which you have applied.
"Once you get a report, you can look for any inaccuracies," Vancas said. "One in five reports has an error, and one in three of those affects your credit score."
A lower credit score makes it more difficult, or expensive, to get a mortgage, car loan or credit card. Some potential employers even check credit scores.
If you find an error in your credit report, you have the right to dispute it free of charge through the annualcreditreport.com website, Vancas said.
You can also request your child's credit report. The BBB recommends it as a way to see if any identity theft is taking place.
Credit reporting agencies do not knowingly maintain files on children.
"Scammers will use a child's identity because it's a blank slate," Vancas said.
"Most children's credit reports don't come into play until they apply for college or a job, so it might be 18 years before you notice any identity theft."
Another scam is businesses who claim they can "clean" your credit report and dramatically improve your credit score -- for a price.
"No one can magically clear a negative report that is accurate," Vancas said. "If it's inaccurate, you can fix it yourself for free."

"Treme's" economic effect is tangible but sometimes hard to measure. HBO spends upward of $30 million per season on the New Orleans-set-and-shot series. Local actors, technicians and musicians get some of that.
The two seasons of the series to air so far have exposed a weekly average of about 2 million viewers to corners of New Orleans culture – second-line organizations, Mardi Gras Indians, Davis Rogan -- that have never before seen such widespread attention. Some of those viewers are coming here, for the first time, to see it all for themselves. DVD boxes of the episodes – season two is due for release April 17 – add to the total.
Digital sales of soundtrack cuts have spiked from the HBO exposure.
Saturday (March 31), HBO and "Treme" stage their third annual "My Darlin' New Orleans" benefit event. It's scheduled for 7-11 p.m. at Generations Hall, 310 Andrew Higgins Dr.
In addition to music, food, auction items and a chance to mingle with cast and crew members, the evening offers attendees an opportunity to see and hear and taste the "Treme" effect in person.
The past two such events have raised more than $175,000 total to benefit organizations that provide support and safety-net services to the people who fuel the culture that the series spotlights.
This year, funds raised will go to Sweet Home New Orleans, the New Orleans Musicians Clinic and Assistance Foundation and The Roots of Music.
Online $150 ticket sales – click here: http://mydarlinneworleans.eventbrite.com -- conclude Friday (March 30). A limited number of tickets will be available at the door. Both previous "My Darlin' New Orleans" evenings sold out.
Sweet Home New Orleans concentrates on the business side of the sustainability struggle for musicians, second-line organizations and Mardi Gras Indians.
A couple of aims in that regard are "to make people a little more savvy about what they need to do to promote their musical careers, and trying to erase some of the digital divide, which is really an issue for our constituents," said Sue Mobley, executive director.
Mobley said one of the organization's current projects is working with Stafford Agee – who plays the notes that emerge from Antoine Batiste's trombone on "Treme" – to set up a horn-repair business in New Orleans.
"Which is something we really need here," Mobley said. "It would be tremendous for the brass bands. We're such a bigger brass town than anywhere."
Just as Sweet Home New Orleans helps musicians and others deal with fiscal-health issues, the New Orleans Musicians Clinic attends to their corporeal welfare, funding dental, hearing, diabetes and podiatric care, among many health-care needs.
Foot-care might seem minor, but in the community the clinic serves, it's not.
"When you look at Mardi Gras Indians and second-liners and the brass bands, you realize how many of them suffer from diabetes, (and you see) how vital it is that they have their legs," said Bethany Bultman, clinic founder and president.
For diabetic musicians who travel, the clinic arranges contacts and care in other cities when needed.
"So when our patients leave New Orleans on gigs out of town or even out of the country, we have a broad network of doctors that we can access for our patients," Bultman said. "We try to be a member of the band."
The Roots of Music, cofounded by drummer Derrick Tabb, is the pipeline for New Orleans' music of the future.
The after-school music program for local schoolkids also provides academic tutoring, a hot meal and transportation – no small job considering that some 70 percent of the band's members don't have family vehicles.
Some of "My Darlin' New Orleans" benefit money may help fund one upcoming super-sized road trip: The Roots of Music Crusaders have been invited to march in the 2013 Rose Bowl Parade.
"It's awesome," said Allison Reinhardt, executive director and co-founder. "It really is a great honor, but it's a steep cost."
Which goes atop year-round operating costs.
"All of our kids are low-income," Reinhardt said. "Our program is built to really accommodate children who don't have the resources for private academic tutoring or private music lessons. Even group lessons are just so expensive."
The Crusaders made a memorable entrance at last year's "My Darlin' New Orleans" benefit, and are slated for an appearance again this year.
"I've got to tell you, the people at HBO have been so amazing to us by putting the spotlight on our children," Reinhardt said. "We've gotten support from them individually. David Simon has been really great to us."
Simon, with "Treme" co-creator Eric Overmyer, will be in attendance Saturday night. Series actors Wendell Pierce, Melissa Leo, Lucia Micarelli, Clarke Peters and Michiel Huisman are also expected to attend. Irma Thomas headlines the music lineup. Food will be prepared by local super-chefs Susan Spicer, Tory McPhail and Alon Shaya. Auction items will include a signed Drew Brees jersey, a chance to appear on "Treme" during its third season (currently filming around town), a 1970 Jazzfest poster that until recently hung in Preservation Hall and a Hammond B3 organ signed by Dr. John, Art Neville, Gregg Allman and JoJo Hermann of Widespread Panic.
The "Treme" effect will be measurable.
The organizations that will benefit from funds raised have seen it on the street, too.
No question, interest in Mardi Gras Indians, both locally and from visitors, appears to be much higher than it was before the series made one of its characters a gang chief.
Sweet Home New Orleans' Mobley also believes the series has made a difference inside the communities from which future Indians will come.
"It's sort of a fascinating case, because it's such a private culture," Mobley said. "I think there's some sense of conflict about being thrown into the limelight, but I also think that people are valuing or reevaluating how they're seen.
"I think that it has helped interest more people who could be part of the culture in becoming part of it. I think it's interested more people who are outsiders to learn more about it, to be engaged with it.
"Super Sunday this year was the biggest crowd I've seen, ever."

Frederick H. Taylor, chairman of Campbell University's Board of Trustees, recently received the university's Alumni Service award. The keynote speaker for Campbell's 120th Founder's Day celebration, Taylor was presented the award on Tuesday, Jan. 31. A 1964 graduate, Taylor had many humorous memories to share with students. When Taylor first came to Campbell he lived in the home of Dr. Leslie H. Campbell, president of the university. "I loved Dr. Campbell, and it was a very pleasant experience, but you can imagine how I had to watch my 'P's and Q's,'" he said. Some time later, Taylor and three of his friends decided to rent an apartment in Dunn, but that experience didn't work out. "I stayed about one month," Taylor said. "I saw that I needed a lot more discipline to live on my own and go to school." Taylor commended Campbell professors for their personal attention, especially A.A. Burkot, vice president and academic dean of Campbell College, and Thomas Folwell, dean of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, both deceased. "This institution gave me a great education," Taylor said. "I was not just a number. I was a person who mattered." Taylor is CEO and chairman of the board of directors of Troy Lumber Company. He was also named a Distinguished Alumnus of Campbell and his parents, the late Frederick Leslie Taylor and Alliene Fresh Taylor, were trustees and generous benefactors of the university throughout their lifetime.

A & E (Sun., Aug. 14, 10 p.m. ET)
There's young, virile Robert Mitchum—in drag! Plus Jane Russell discussing the scanty outfits Howard Hughes tried to stuff her into; Ginger Rogers' mother, Lela, testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee; clips from It's All True, Orson Welles's aborted Brazilian epic; Fay Wray recounting a phone call in which she was offered a starring role opposite "the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood"; and a frame-by-frame look at the special effects that went into the making of the classic screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby—did you know the leopard that Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant seemed to be toting around was actually spliced in? Film buffs will go bonkers, and fittingly so. Never before on the home screen has there been such a detailed, introspective look at a movie studio. From 1928, when it was founded, to 1953, when it was bought by former contract player Lucille Ball, the financially unstable RKO turned out some of Hollywood's most innovative movies, including King Kong, Flying Down to Rio, Hitler's Children, Citizen Kane and The Outlaw. Leave it to the BBC to present a fascinating, six-part, weekly look at this American institution. This is not a glossy Hollywood tribute, but a no-holds-barred report on what it must have been like in the so-called golden days. In the second segment, Let's Face the Music and Dance, the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals are analyzed in microscopic detail, featuring present-day interviews with the team's choreographer, Hermes Pan, and the original costume designers. In Part Five: Dark Victory, the emergence of film noir is analyzed by the directors, scriptwriters and actors who made those grainy mysteries, never realizing they were creating (stand back!) a genre. In episode five, director Edward (Out of the Past) Dmytryk talks about being blacklisted during the McCarthy era and serving a prison term. Two parts are dedicated to Hollywood's quirkiest giants, Orson Welles and Howard Hughes. In scathing interviews, Jane Greer talks about how Hughes deliberately sabotaged her career because she wouldn't date him, while Stewart Granger, who was married to Jean Simmons when she was at RKO, recalls how he devised a plan to "accidentally" murder the tyrant tycoon because he was making his wife's life hell. Part of the fun of this series is seeing juxtapositions of what the stars looked like then and how they look now (Jane Greer and Fay Wray tie for Best Preserved). But the studio itself is the star, and the BBC has turned RKO into a dark, eccentric, splendiferous personality. The only sloppy note in what is otherwise a first-class presentation, produced by the BBC in association with RKO, is the misspelling of Katharine Hepburn's name superimposed onscreen as she talks.

Sinds some time, don't know exactly when, I cannot copy a cd. I have a writer
and a reader installed and both are recognised. In the window 'cd-copy' the
button 'start' is disabled.
The work arround I have is to mount the cd and drag the info to a project. For
a data cd this is no problem. But for a music cd it is while I would like to
do a direct copy and not decode - encode the music files.
Is there something I should do or is it a bug? I didn't found the bug on
debian bugtracking.
Kind regards.

DAVID REUTIMANN will replace suspended driver Kurt Busch at Pocono Raceway, but Busch's future with Phoenix Racing appears murky, at best.
Busch was suspended by NASCAR on Monday for verbally abusing a reporter following the Nationwide Series race at Dover. NASCAR said his behavior was in violation of the probation Busch was placed on last month.
Phoenix owner James Finch said their partnership will be on a race-by-race basis going forward.
"Here's the deal: Quit wrecking the cars, get a good finish, be nice to people. That's not real hard to do," Finch told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. "It's affecting me. If I can't get a sponsor, I can't keep running without a sponsor."

This week, coach Eric Wolford was asked during his weekly press conference what his biggest weakness was. The media meant as a team. Wolford had another answer.
"Biggest weakness is eating ice cream late at night when I get home, my wife says it isn't good for me," Wolford said jokingly.
He said his favorite flavor was Handel's Graham Central Station. He also added what YSU's biggest weakness was so far after two games.
"Really, I think overall we want to continue to execute better on third down," Wolford said. "We didn't do as well last week on third down, specifically offensively."
Third down could be a big factor this week as the Penguins try to improve their record to 3-0 against Albany. Cause while Wolford thinks the Penguins need to improve in that category, so do the Great Danes.
In two games, YSU is 15 of 25 on third down. On the other side, Albany is only converting 50 percent, as it is 13 of 26.
"In the first game, we felt we could have been better on third down on offense. And we definitely felt like we could have been better on defense on third-and-medium, third-and-long. I know 100 percent is not realistic, but we practice third down a lot around here and we need to be good at it."
The one thing YSU has been good at all season is putting points on the board. In the opener against Pitt, a game YSU was the underdog in, the potent offense scored 31 points against a Big East team. Last week against Valparaiso, the Penguins knotched 59, including the first touchdown 2 minutes into the game.
The offense will get a good test today against Albany, which is 2-0 on the season. An FCS playoff team last year, the Great Dane defense has allowed 33 points in two games. The defense also has registered five sacks this season and picked off three passes.
This game couldn't be played at a better time for the Penguins, because this is truly the first game on the Penguins' schedule that is just a game - no hoopla, no hype. Just a play four quarters football game.
Against Pitt, it was a quality YSU team going against a school from a major conference with the story line of "could they do it?" Against Valparaiso, it was a game everyone knew the Penguins were going to win by at least 40, so it was very clear that the backups were going to get plenty of playing time. Next week, it will be the beginning of conference play, with longtime nemesis UNI coming to town.
Every time you talk to a YSU player or coach, somehow the phrase "we want to go 1-0 every week" gets on the record. If the Penguins truly believe that statement, it will be shown this week. They are coming off two big wins and have a huge conference rival coming into town next week, if the Penguins were going to overlook a game, this would be the game they could do it.
But they can't. And according to everyone you talk to that wears a Penguin uniform, they won't. Albany made the FCS playoffs last year and though they aren't ranked, they have received votes in the The Sports Network FCS poll. Albany has been where YSU wants to go. Now the Penguins have to go through the Great Danes to get there.
And if they do, maybe Wolford will celebrate with a few scoops of Graham Central Station.

SPRINGFIELD – The city will conduct its first ballroom-style auction of the year on Tuesday, featuring 27 tax-title properties including six homes, two commercial buildings, and various residential and commercial lots.
The auctions have been very successful in recent years, returning many properties to the tax rolls, helping to reduce blight and creating some bargains for buyers, city officials said.
Registration begins at 5 p.m., and the auction begins at 6 p.m., at City Hall. The city conducts the auction in conjunction with Daniel J. Flynn & Co., of Quincy.
"The city has been very aggressive with its tax taking process and getting these properties back on the tax rolls is a huge benefit to the city," Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said in a prepared release. "More importantly, when these residences are rehabbed it has a tremendous impact on the abutting property owners' quality of life and adds to the overall aesthetics of our city's neighborhoods."
Previous auctions, beginning in 2008, have been well-attended, officials said.
"The wide selection of properties offers bidders a vast array of opportunity," auctioneer Daniel Flynn said. "The increasing popularity in these auctions brings many repeat customers, and a steady influx of newcomers, looking to invest in a great opportunity and purchase real estate at a great value."
The properties include a former automotive business at 93 Wilbraham Road, and a former hair salon at 30 Berkshire Ave., said Tina Quagliato, deputy director of neighborhood stabilization.
A 5 percent buyer's premium covers the auction fee so the cost is added to each high bid, which represents the final sale price.
Open houses are scheduled Sunday, from 10 a.m., to noon.
Auction participation requires bidders to come prepared with a certified or bank check, made out to themselves, in the amount of $5,000 per property.
Additional details are available on the city's website at www.springfieldcityhall.com, or Daniel J. Flynn & Co., Inc., at www.flynnauctions.com, including specific open house schedules and property information.

I have a birth certificate via www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for a Bridget Flaherty Father John Flaherty Mother Mary Belton, their marriage is Co. Galway 10th May 1845 can't find this, can anyone help?lway
on 2012-01-20 13:51:49
Belton has been a Family Tree Circles member since Jan 2012.
Civil registration of all births, marriages, and deaths in Ireland began in 1864 (except for non-Catholic marriages, for which registration started in 1845). Registration produced two sets of records: registers for births, marriages, and deaths and published indexes to these registers. The repositories for the records spilt in 1922, with the records for Northern Ireland being kept by the General Register Office (GRO) in Belfast, while records for the Republic of Ireland are housed at the GRO in Dublin. But the record set as a whole has survived and provides an invaluable source of vital information for Irish research.
This database contains details extracted from the published indexes of Irish marriage registers. Details provided include
marriage year
registration district
volume and page number in the original publication
You can use the information in the index entry to obtain a copy of the entry in the original register from the General Register Office.
Hi janilye,
On contacting Belfast last year, (by phone) I was told similar by an archivist there, my question was regarding another ancestor from Co. Down, I was told that fortunately the records for there had survived the fire damage for the most part, and was talked through their site, which can be difficult. I have't contacted Dublin yet, but on another family site I discovered that from 1840, according to them? there are 2 John Flaherty marriages for East Galway and 2 for West Galway, all very confusing when family info conflicts, but all in all it would seem a trip to both places is needed in my case. Thank you for your information, I need all the help I can get with this particular search.
HI MY NAME IS JOHN FAGAN AND I LIVE IN GLASGOW,MY GRANDMOTHER WAS ANNE CLANCY DAUGHTER OF BRIDGET FLAHERTY, WHO WAS MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER,AND THOMAS CLANCY,WHO WAS MY GRANDFATHER ALSO JOHN FLAHERTY AND MARY FLAHERTY WERE MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS,MARYS MAIDEN SURNAME WAS[ BELTON] THEY ALL STAYED IN THE SOUTHSIDE OF GLASGOW,I CAME UPON THIS SITE BY CHANCE I DO THINK WE ARE RELATED,MY MOTHER WOULD MENTION THE NAME BELTON EVERY NOW AND THEN.HOPE THIS HELPS YOU,CONTACT ME ANYTIME. [email protected][ tel:0141 429 1590]kind regards john.
Hi John,
I think we might be distant relatives. My nan is Mary Clancy(maiden name)and her mother (my great nan) was also Mary Clancy who's parents were Bridget and Thomas. It sounds like your great nan was my nans aunty!! Bit confusing but your information is very similar to mine. Also John Flaherty was married to Mary Belton in my family tree!!! Get in contact at [email protected]
My great Nan married Martin Folan
look forward to hearing from you both.

Many fans of recycled paper products like to use paper for all sorts of things. Reusing paper to make recycled, homemade paper is a fun way to conserve and create, but there are literally dozens of other ways to give old paper a new life.
Many of these ways include other paper products, many of which we've already discussed. But did you know that many non-paper products use recycled paper as an ingredient?More than 5,000 items can be made using recycled paper.
There's papercrete, for example. Papercrete is a construction material that's just like concrete–only it has any source of recycled paper as its base. Its composition is anywhere from 50% to 80% paper, and puts old paper back to use in the formation of new structures, such as business buildings and homes.
Hospital gowns can also be made of recycled paper. Given how thin and flimsy they are, this may not come as much of a surprise! Dust masks, bandages, and other products we use on our bodies can be created–and often are–using paper discards as well.
While it's not surprising that coffee filters, paper money, and egg cartons are often made out of recycled paper, the fact that globes can be created from old paper is a very interesting one.
Of course, insulation can be made out of paper as well–particularly for use in cars and pet bedding. Recycled paper can also be used in the production of lamp shades, wallets, vases, handbags and masking tape. Even office furniture can be made with paper castaways.

Importance This study evaluates the contribution of the individual components of an investigational non–β-antagonist fixed combination of brinzolamide, 1%, and brimonidine, 0.2%. This study and its sister study provide the first randomized data showing the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering activity and the toxicity profile of this novel topical antihypertensive fixed combination.
Objective To compare IOP-lowering efficacy of fixed-combination brinzolamide, 1%, and brimonidine, 0.2%, with that of its components in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Design In this phase 3, double-masked, parallel-group, multicenter study, eligible patients were randomized 1:1:1 to treatment with fixed-combination brinzolamide, 1%, and brimonidine, 0.2%; brinzolamide, 1%; or brimonidine, 0.2%, 3 times daily for 3 months.
Setting Sixty-six academic and private practice study sites throughout the United States.
Participants A total of 660 adults with a clinical diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension from a referred sample were enrolled. Thirty-four patients discontinued participation due to treatment-related nonserious adverse events.
Intervention Topical administration of study medication (fixed-combination brinzolamide, 1%, and brimonidine, 0.2%; brinzolamide, 1%; or brimonidine, 0.2%) 1 drop 3 times daily for 3 months.
Main Outcomes and Measures Mean IOP at the 3-month visit at all time points (8 AM, 10 AM, 3 PM, and 5 PM).
Results A total of 660 patients were enrolled. Baseline mean IOP values were similar among treatment groups at all 4 time points. At 3 months, the mean IOP of the brinzolamide-brimonidine group (16.3-19.8 mm Hg) was significantly lower than that of either the brinzolamide group (19.3-20.9 mm Hg; P ≤ .002) or the brimonidine group (17.9-22.5 mm Hg; P < .001) across all time points. One of 10 serious adverse events (chest pain, brinzolamide group) was judged as treatment related. A total of 129 patients experienced at least 1 treatment-related adverse effect (brinzolamide-brimonidine, 22.9%; brinzolamide, 18.6%; and brimonidine, 17.3%; P = .31), most of which were ocular.
Conclusions and Relevance This registrational study provides evidence that the fixed combination of brinzolamide, 1%, and brimonidine, 0.2%, can safely and effectively lower IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, showing significantly superior IOP-lowering activity compared with either brinzolamide or brimonidine monotherapy while providing a safety profile consistent with that of its individual components.
Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01297517

With a desire to pursue the best candidates available, the New Orleans Hornets already have made preliminary contact with representatives of Avery Johnson and Jeff Van Gundy to gauge their interest, according to league sources.
Detailing their search objectives earlier this week, Hornets president Hugh Weber said they have not officially interviewed anyone yet, but they have consulted with several.
Weber said several coaches, or their representatives, have reached out to the Hornets to express an interest in the job.
Through an extensive coaching search is planned, it appears Johnson and Van Gundy are the frontrunners. But Van Gundy's older brother, Orlando Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy, told reporters Wednesday that Jeff does not have a desire to get back into coaching.
"I think he's pretty happy and his family is happy where he is,'' Stan Van Gundy said to AOL Fanhouse. "He hasn't shown any great interest in getting back in.''
But a source close to Jeff Van Gundy on Thursday said he is unsure about his future, but is happy with his current job as an ESPN/ABC analyst.
Jeff Van Gundy, the former New York Knicks and Houston Rockets coach, is a close friend of Bower. Van Gundy has been out of coaching since the 2006-07 season when he was let go.
In four seasons, Van Gundy guided the Rockets to a 182-146 record that included three playoff appearances. Prior to that, Van Gundy coached the Knicks for seven years, leading them to the NBA Finals in 1999.
The Hornets' job became vacant Tuesday when Jeff Bower stepped down as coach, but retained his position as general manager.
Bower is heading the coaching search with Weber. Their list of potential candidates will include former and current head coaches, assistants and possibly even a few college coaches.
Weber said some coaches they may consider are currently participating in the NBA playoffs.
"We have a very good idea of what we are looking for now,'' Weber said. "The background work and the understanding of these candidates will be very diligent, and that's where we are.''
Though a long shot, Charlotte Bobcats Coach Larry Brown may be considered if he is interested.
Possible assistant coaches the Hornets may pursue are Dallas Mavericks' Dwane Casey, Boston Celtics' Tom Thibodeau, Portland's Monty Williams, Utah Jazz's Tyrone Corbin and former NBA player Mark Jackson.
There was a report Thursday that mentioned former New Jersey Nets coach Lawrence Frank would get serious consideration. But according to a team source, Frank is unlikely to emerge as a frontrunner.
The Hornets, along with the Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets are teams with coaching vacancies. The Nets are said to be interested in both Van Gundy and Johnson. A source close to Johnson, a New Orleans native and former Dallas Mavericks coach, said he is definitely interested in the Hornets' job.

After several hunting contests in Valencia County spurred community outrage, some law makers may soon officially oppose coyote and prairie dog hunts.
County commissioners said people came to them concerned the contests were damaging the area's reputation and wildlife. The commissioners are looking at how the events are affecting the community.
In November a coyote hunting contest was sponsored by a pawn shop in Los Lunas.
There have been four hunting contests based out of the county in the past year, most of them coyote themed.
The resolution in question wouldn't ban the contests; it would make the county commission's opposition to them official. Lawmakers could then decide whether to ban the contests.
It is not an ordinance.
The commissioners will vote on the resolution Wednesday.

Our family has lost two members to Alzheimer's Disease: our mother at 84 after five years of symptoms, and our brother at 67 after 12 years of symptoms. We had no family history of this disease, but no reliable diagnostic tests, either. All we could do was watch and learn; that led to the likely guess that each had AD. Today, we have highly reliable and valid tests, but some say we should not want to know the results ("Testing for Alzheimer's: Be careful what you ask for," editorial, Aug. 16). Think, then, about the consequences of not knowing.
Our mom was a bright, active spouse of 30 years, the mother of three sons, with a long career as a highly regarded hospital head nurse. In retirement, she continued to drive in Portland -- until one day when she got lost and was rescued by alert residents and police 20 miles south in Woodburn.
Over her strenuous objections to AD conditions that she couldn't understand or accept, we gently we took away the keys and sold her car. In generally good health, her AD symptoms were slow to appear, and without a conclusive diagnosis, it was most difficult for her physicians to choose the targeted medications and treatments that would be most helpful.
When she could no longer properly manage her finances, we realized she was slowly losing the very means required to secure and maintain her health care for the remainder of her life. With financial planners, we conserved her remaining assets to assure that her medical, social and lifestyle needs were fully covered.
Our brother had AD for about five years before the symptoms became incapacitating. Impaired, he continued managing his successful 30-year-old small business, eventually driving it into failure. We were forced to close the doors and liquidate the business he'd worked his whole career to grow and was to fund his retirement.
Then, without our knowledge, he became involved with a girlfriend with untreated alcohol disease. She quickly took up residence with him and grabbed control of everything to support her addiction. Undiagnosed and inadequately treated, he soon became more incapacitated. With the complicity of incompetent county court system personnel in Tacoma who were untrained in elder-abuse, the girlfriend began to liquidate his assets, sell off his family heirlooms, let his automobiles and real estate fall into disrepair, and severely restrict his access to family and friends.
After great costs in time and legal fees over the next three years, we arranged an irrevocable health care trust for him with his remaining assets. Gone was any inheritance for his three children and grandchildren.
We needed these now-available AD tests then to serve our impaired and vulnerable loved ones better and sooner. We'll use our new test results to effectively limit in advance any medical, social and financial consequences of this disease that may come to our family.

Konami has announced it will offer an exclusive, free downloadable version of the new Umbro England strip to players of PES 2009 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Umbro will unveil the innovative new kit on March 28, when England take on Slovakia at Wembley.
The new kit has been designed to a strict specification from the England manager to provide a bespoke tailored fit for each player.
Konami's download will be available at the same time as the Slovakia game's 5:15pm kick-off, and PES 2009 will be the only video game to feature the new kit.
"Konami is extremely proud of its status as the official video game of the England team, and this download showcases the strength of our relationship with The FA and Umbro," commented Jon Murphy, PES Team Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "Our Japanese team has been working closely with both parties to ensure the innovative new kit is faithfully recreated in the game, and we are delighted to be able to offer it as a free download to our millions of fans on the day it is revealed for the first time."
The England kit update will be free to download on March 28th from 5:15pm.
