I am unable to travel to different cities to search for gravesites of our relatives. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found the Find a Grave website and all the wonderful, helpful people on it. I have found so many of our relatives listed and have had wonderful people that have been willing to search and take photos for us.
If you would like to use one of my photos on your family tree, help yourself but please list me as the photographer.
DO NOT use my hard work on another cemetery website or put your name as the contributor on one of my photos. That's just not fair or considerate.
If you have data that you would like for me to add to the memorials that I have created, please send it to me and I will update it as soon as possible.
I am posting memorials using the Find a Grave guidelines as I see them. If it is not to your liking, I'm sorry. I WILL NOT respond back to hateful and ranting messages. So don't bother to send them.
I will be glad to transfer any memorial that I have listed to a family member if they are not in my family's trees. Please be sure to add your member #, the person's ID number and your reason for wanting the transfer when making the request.
Please use the edit button at the top of memorial pages to make data corrections or additions. I'm sorry but emails without a memorial # will be deleted. I don't have the time to search out the internet to find who you are talking about.

Cynthia Stoneberger Allman
Thank you for your interest in Cynthia Law? Hensley? Stoneberger Allman. I have deleted my memorial for her, because although she is named on Milton's tombstone, it appears she has another memorial at the cemetery where her previous husband is buried. She is more likely buried there because the death date was actually engraved on that stone.

To the Editor.—
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare complication of scleroderma of the small bowel. Previous reports have indicated that this late complication heralds a poor prognosis.1 We have observed one patient with pneumatosis for more than 6 1/2 years. This case is presented to suggest that this complication of intestinal scleroderma does not necessarily indicate a poorer life expectancy.
Report of a Case.—
A 48-year-old Negro housewife was seen in the Medical Clinic in March 1959. Dysphagia, tightness of the skin of the hands, Raynaud's phenomenon, and multiple joint stiffness had been present for one year. An esophagogram revealed a dilated esophagus with lack of peristalsis. A mecholyl test demonstrated lack of sensitivity of the esophagus. The hemoglobin level was 11 gm/100 with a sedimentation rate of 51 mm/hr. During the next four years, the patient was treated for reflux esophagitis with stricture formation. In May 1963,

• As trauma systems develop, more patients can potentially benefit from immediate surgery. With in-house surgeons available, enthusiasm for direct transfer from the scene to the operating room (OR) has developed in many institutions. The purpose of this study was to define precisely which patients should be taken to the OR for resuscitation. Three hundred twenty-three patients were taken to the OR directly from the field during a 4-year period (6.9% of trauma activations). Indications included the following: (1) cardiac arrest—one vital sign present, (2) persistent hypotension despite field intravenous fluid, and (3) uncontrolled external hemorrhage. A board-certified surgeon and resuscitation team met the field transport team in the OR in all cases. Cardiopulmonary recuscitation for patients with blunt trauma was not accompanied by survival even with immediate surgery by a trained surgeon and it wastes valuable OR resources. Patients with prehospital hypotension unresponsive to fluid resuscitation indicate the need for rapid surgery. Patients with blunt injuries even with hypotension infrequently undergo operations in less than 20 minutes and can be resuscitated in traditional areas where better roentgenograms are obtained. Penetrating injuries to the chest and abdomen with hypotension are the primary indications for OR resuscitation. It can be anticipated with field communication and accompanied by enhanced survival.

For maintenance of metabolic equilibrium physical activity, like nutrition, is basic; yet, unlike the latter, interest in the relation of exercise to health and disease has been slow in developing. It is true that from the time of Hippocrates, and even before, exercise was held important for the well as for the sick, but its use was intuitive or empirical and often postulated on erroneous "systems" irreconcilable with modern scientific knowledge. Only recently have studies begun to elucidate the relationship of activity to physiologic processes. Such investigations as those of Deitrick and Keyes indicate the deleterious effect of immobilization upon calcium and nitrogen balance, circulation, and behavior.1,2 During World War II clinicial evaluation of inactivity in convalescence led to the use of early ambulation, with consequent decrease in time of hospitalization and in incidence of secondary complications, such as pain, constipation, insomnia, and the more serious pneumonic and thromboembolic

NFL teams look at Aaron Maybin's weight the way a bachelor(ette) would look at the ideal first date.
On draft day, his size has every team thinking long-term potential. But is the exterior authentic or is the former Penn State defensive end just looking to make the perfect first impression?
For Maybin, the weight issue will be the issue as he waits to see when, and by whom, he is chosen on Saturday, the first day of the two-day NFL draft.
There are other knocks against the all-American - his lack of a true position, his inexperience - but it will likely be his dramatic two-month increase in weight that gives general managers pause when deciding whether to invest a No. 1 pick and millions of dollars in the athletically gifted 21-year-old.

HONOLULU — School bus service will be provided to about 200 more students under an expansion of the Hawaii State Department of Education (DOE)'s "Get on Board" pilot program.
This second phase of the Get on Board initiative will begin in November. It will apply to students from four schools in Waipahu and Pearl City.
The first phase of the pilot program restored school bus service to about 350 students at the beginning of the school year.
"Like the inaugural phase of Get on Board, this second phase is being offered at no additional cost to our families," said Ray L'Heureux, assistant superintendent of the DOE's Office of School Facilities and Support Services. "With the use of the computerized software, we're able to continue gathering data that is going to be important in our ongoing transportation reform efforts."
For the second phase of Get on Board, the DOE is working with contractor Tomasa's Bus Co. and will for the first time use Transfinder computerized software to determine bus stop times and route directions.
The Get on Board initiative is a multi-year, multi-phased commitment by the DOE to reform its public school student bus transportation system. The restoration of the additional routes in November increases total ridership in the Get on Board pilot area to approximately 4,000 students. DOE officials said that it represents a significant step toward full statewide program implementation over the next two school years.
In June 2012, the DOE announced that more than 100 bus routes were being eliminated statewide due to rising costs and a loss of funding. Since then, the DOE has streamlined services, restored a number of the routes and contracted Management Partnership Services to conduct a study of Hawaii's student bus transportation system.
Earlier this year, Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed into law two bills that give the DOE more flexibility in how it awards its bus contracts.

Emerging Typologies in the City-region: 2016 China Summer Program
~Campbell Hall, East Wing Gallery
UVA Architecture China program in summer 2016 identifies, documents, and analyses emerging architectural and urban typologies in two of China's most dynamic city-regions, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. With a combined population of 260 million people, both delta areas are made of clusters of cities and towns that provide vast design, production, and consumption capacities. Perhaps the most fascinating features to architecture and urbanism are new realities in city-making that demand knowledge and insights. We are witnessing the making of an urban age in which not only half of the world's population lives in cities, but also the very idea of the city is changing. Architecture and urbanism in China present rare opportunities to observe mutations of the city in response to contemporary world political and economic structures, as they take place.

Three music students involved in the Digital Humanities Student Fellow Program will present their work in the Music Library on Friday, April 29th from 4-5pm. In their projects, the fellows, Kevin Davis (CCT grad), and Matthew Leon and Jenny Xing (both undergraduates), explore a variety of questions ranging from how to encode non-standard notation to automated performance of music encoding. The fellows have worked with a wide range of music, beginning in the Italian Renaissance with Palestrina and ending in 1954 with Stockhausen's Studie II. Come to the library to learn more about the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) and future opportunities from the students and their mentor, Metadata Librarian for Research and Scholarship, Perry Roland.

There is a slab of concrete that was once a factory floor. What remains are various bits of material used by local skaters as obstacles. What strikes me is the directness and simplicity in creating what seemed to me as formal sculptures full of movement and transition. Through a photography and sculpture installation I challenged myself to use the material within the reclaimed skate park to create a series of arrangements employing a similar aesthetic. The sculptures draw from the raw and archetypal material used in creating DIY skate parks.

Jul 30, 2009 9:43AM PST
I love Wii games that make things even more super-fun with the Wii controllers. Mario Kart for the N64 and DS were already classics, but the Wii version is my favorite! An all time best!
Controlling your characters with the wii controllers is super easy and fun, and you'll be colliding back and forth with everyone you're playing with in the room. Great job nintendo on this one, it's a sure winner.

Newsletter LLECE: Education and socio–emotional skills: Much progress, many questions. By Marina Bassi, Economics Education Senior Specialist, Inter–American Development Bank (IADB)
All individuals possess a set of skills and talents that makes them unique and that has an impact on the achievements they reach throughout their lives. Cognitive, non–cognitive and socio–emotional skills have proven to be determinant for the results that different persons obtain in their educational and working careers. This conclusion is key to assess the relevance of the present education system, as it prepares youth to enter the labor market and modern society. Do schools provide the proper tools?
The Education Division of the IADB has been studying this issue in Latin America, extensively reviewing developed countries' literature, and implementing original surveys in order to collect information on what skills are required in the labor market, and what skills are associated to successful labor and education careers in the region. The results of that research were published in the book entitled Desconectados: Habilidades, educación y empleo en América Latina (Disconnected: Skills, Education, and Employment in Latin America), and suggest the existence of a significant gap between skills that are taught in Latin America's education systems and skills that are necessary to perform in today's world. However, before documenting the evidence for the region, basic questions emerged. We are trying to comprehend the situation using the literature that is available and that, as we have learned, is growing rapidly: How are cognitive and "soft" or socio–emotional skills defined and identified? Are both sets of skills related? What are the most relevant skills? Which skills better predict social and economic results in people's lives? How and when are they developed? How feasible is it to modify those skills through external interventions? These are some of the questions that may be asked.
For years, the economic literature has documented the link between educational results and advantages in terms of income and other labor outcomes. The relationship between intelligence or cognitive ability and problem solving or information processing is natural and intuitive. Intelligence is the capacity to understand complex ideas, to learn from experience, to adapt, and to transform the environment that surrounds us. Psychology addresses two components of intelligence, which help to understand its degree of pliancy. One of those components, fluid intelligence, is closer to genetic potential, is less malleable due to external interventions, and is developed during the first years of a person's life. The second component, crystallized intelligence, is manifested in learning, is more influenced by experience and by interaction with culture and the setting. The literature that points out that cognitive skills can be successfully influenced almost exclusively during early childhood, refer to the first component, usually expressed in the IQ, which is the result of specific intelligence tests, and that has been proven to stabilize after the age of 5 or 6. On the other hand, learning and knowledge undoubtedly develop throughout life under the influence of not only "hard" intelligence, but also of other "soft" characteristics linked to personality traits.
Research on the role of socio–emotional skills has begun, at least recently, among economists. The traits of an individual's personality are countless and diverse. Some researchers avoid the term "non–cognitive" when they refer to these skills, because they are not completely isolated from the cognition process.
Many aspects of personality traits are affected by cognition. At the same time, cognition depends to a certain extent on personality. Measures to avoid risk, for example, may be affected by intelligence or knowledge. Self–esteem or motivation may be fuelled by cognitive results. Meanwhile, intelligence test results are sensitive to a person's motivation, interest, and anxiety. Life–long learning and development of cognitive skills are influenced by personality traits such as curiosity, ambition, and perseverance.
The lack of a single taxonomy that would encompass the main personality traits is added to the difficulties to separate cognitive and socio–emotional skills in practice. The scale of the Big Five personality traits (adaptability or openness to new experiences; conscientiousness; extraversion; agreeableness; and neuroticism or emotional stability) has been the most utilized, and many tools have been developed to evaluate these traits. But, What are the most relevant socio–emotional skills? Are they associated to better social and economic results? This is still being discussed and researched.
Skills assessed for the study published in Desconectados included one cognitive skill (general intellectual skill, related to fluid intelligence) and three socio–emotional skills (self–efficacy or the capacity to achieve set goals, metacognitive strategies or planning of cognitive tasks, and social skills or leadership and adaptability). With the support of the Centro MIDE UC, special tools were developed and these skills were assessed in a group of almost 6,000 young adults (between ages 25 and 30) in Argentina and Chile. Among the main results was that the skill mostly related to salary range and the possibility of being employed was one of the socio–emotional ones: self–efficacy. Individuals with higher levels of confidence in their skills had higher salaries and better employment rates both in Argentina and in Chile. Undoubtedly, the reason is two–fold: better job results also improve self–esteem. However, the link between these variables was notably higher than the one found, for example, between intellectual skills or "hard" intelligence and achievements in the labor market.
On the other hand, when analyzing educational results such as completed educational level, cognitive skills showed a considerably higher correlation than any of the socio–emotional skills that were assessed in the study. In this case, intelligence seemed to weigh more than the capacity to organize and carry out cognitive tasks, social skills, or self–efficacy. Nonetheless, persons with higher levels of education also showed a certain increase in the three socio–emotional skills.
The research also included surveys of 1,200 employers from five specific industries (automotive, retail, banking, hotel, and food processing) in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. The objective was to learn about demand for the different types of skills. In this case, those who were interviewed had to grade three sets of skills on a scale of 1 to 100, according to the level of importance they
assigned to these skills for the fulfillment of their employees' duties: technical or sector–specific skills; socio–emotional or behavioral skills; and cognitive or knowledge skills. The results were overwhelming: in the three countries, and in the five industries, behavioral skills were graded significantly higher. In aggregate terms, behavioral skills were assigned 55 points, knowledge skills received 35 points, and sector–specific skills obtained 15 points. Moreover, employers were asked which skills were harder to find among workers who had just graduated from secondary school in Latin America. Again, there was consensus: socio–emotional or behavioral skills were the most scarce among Latin American youths. Close to 90% of business owners reported having difficulties finding the skills that their companies need, and most of them asserted that the biggest shortcoming is related to personality and behavior.
What do these results tell us about the relevance of education in the region, and about the role of schools in the development of skills that go beyond cognitive ones? Much remains to be done. We know that socio–emotional skills are more pliable for a longer period of time in the cycle of life than cognitive skills (up to early adulthood). Clearly, family plays a fundamental role. However, schools could have a much more active role if their field of action was extended to include socio–emotional skills, in order to compensate for disadvantages that originate in adverse settings or family contexts. The earlier these support actions happen in a child's life, the better the chances of success will be. This does not mean that efforts should be diminished in the teaching of cognitive skills, which is without a doubt the central role of schools. More has to be done in different ways.
The required change is significant, and there are many challenges. How should we assess these challenges at the school level or in the education system? What skills should be given priority? What are the most effective actions to develop those skills? While researchers continue making progress on this issue, let us hope that schools and the main stakeholders will recognize the significance of socio–emotional skills, and will make the development of those skills one of their main goals. This would represent great progress towards an education that is closer to today's needs and demands.

CLEVELAND - To hear Evan Turner tell it, once a star in the Buckeye state, always a star.
An all-American and player of the year while at Ohio State, Turner reconnected with his glory days here Friday, scoring a team-high 23 points and grabbing a team-high 13 rebounds to lead the 76ers to a 97-87 victory over the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers.
It was a great win. Any type of win is a great win," said Turner. "Obviously it was a great team effort. Everybody joined in once again and that's pretty much it."
A team effort, indeed.
Four of the five starters had four assists or more. Spencer Hawes finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and a pair blocks. Thaddeus Young added 18 points on 9-of-13 shooting. Jrue Holiday finished with 20 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds for the Sixers (29-43).

CFP: FORUM – University of Edinburgh Postgraduate Journal of Culture and the Arts. Issue 15: Imitation and Repetition
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
*Forum: Issue 15, Imitation and Repetition*
For the winter issue of FORUM, a peer-reviewed postgraduate journal based at the University of Edinburgh, we are seeking submissions from a range of disciplines relating to the arts or culture that consider the topic of IMITATION AND REPETITION.
As concepts which cross the disciplinary boundaries between the arts and the social sciences, imitation and repetition are frequently connoted in ways dependant on the contexts and time periods in which they occur. The ambivalence of the two terms has proved productive for numerous commentators dating from Plato, and his concern withmimesis, to Judith Butler, who identified the role which the repetition, or continued performance, of cultural norms has in constituting such central aspects of our identity as gender. Thinkers such as Adorno have suggested that 'a human being only becomes human at all by imitating other human beings,' while the subversive potential of the way in which repetition and imitation not only reflect but help form aspects of our reality is exploited in post-colonial and feminist theories via strategies of 'mimicry.'
In the artistic sphere, following the spread of the Romantic idea of the artistic genius, imitation has often been frowned upon as a failure to be 'original,' and the lines drawn in intellectual property laws highlight the ethical questions attached to degrees of repetition and imitation in the twentieth century. However, the recirculation and recoding of certain tropes and images which occurs in even the most radical attempts to break with the past, such as those embodied by movements like Dada, suggest that originality cannot be thought outside of its relationship to imitation and repetition. Even in today's growing digital environment the success of viral memes, news articles, or tweets is judged on the number of times they are shared, that is to say repeated, online.
Submissions may include, but are by no means limited to, examinations of the following:
Imitation or Repetition and Nostalgia
Repetition and the 'Viral'
Citation and Intertextuality
Cross-media or Cross-Cultural Adaptations of Texts, Images, Films
The Recycling of Images in Post-Modernism
The Use of Imitation and Repetition as Normative and/or Subversive in Visual or Literary Culture and Theory
Media-'Cycles', and Audio or Visual 'Looping'
The Relationship of Imitation and Repetition to Tradition or History
Imitation and Political or Cultural Legitimacy
Reproduction and the Work of Art
Repetition and Innovation in Labour and Capitalism
Repetition and Trauma/Compulsion
Figurations of Imitation and Repetition in non-contemporary contexts such as the Ancient World, Medieval Europe, the Early Modern Period.
Papers must be between 3,000 and 5,000 words in length, formatted according to MLA guidelines. Please email your paper, a short abstract and your academic CV in separate, clearly labelled .DOC files to email@example.com by Monday 24th September 2012. All eligible articles will be peer reviewed prior to publication. Only one submission per author per issue is permissible. More information on the journal can be found at www.forumjournal.org.
