Maybe it was getting that first win, at the 2007 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, after four years on the PGA Tour.
Maybe he relaxed. Maybe he felt he had made it.
Whatever it was, 2008 was a lost year for Nick Watney, by his own admission.
"Last year I didn't play real well, " he said. " I don't know what happened really. It was definitely a down year."
"Nick, after he won in New Orleans, it was totally natural to relax a little, (and say) 'Now I've got my two-year exemption, ' " said Mike Watney, Nick's uncle who started him in the game and recruited him to Fresno State.
That translated into a drop in money winnings of nearly $1 million. He fell to 109th in FedExCup points. He fell to 121st on the money list. He had one top-10 finish.
Basically, he fell.
But he didn't accept it.
When Watney's 2008 PGA Tour schedule was complete, he did what he loves to do, what he knew he had to do.
He went to work, he set goals and he threw away complacency like it was a pair of golf shoes that had worn out their welcome.
The result is that Watney, a lean 6-foot-2 Californian who will turn 28 on Saturday, is perhaps the most consistent player on the PGA Tour this year and certainly is the most improved. His world ranking is up to 36, and he is fourth in FedExCup points.
He has risen more than anyone else on the tour in terms of FedExCup points, has won a second tournament and has been outside the top 25 just once in nine starts, not missing the cut in any.
His season has surprised many, including Mike Watney.
"His short game was what they (Nick and noted swing coach Butch Harmon) worked so hard on this winter, " Mike Watney said. "At one point, Nick said to me, and I don't think many other people, 'I want to be the best putter in the world.' I kind of laughed. But that's his mind-set. Butch set up a lot of different things he could work on that would help him, and it was the entire short game. It's the short game that separates Tiger and Phil from everyone else."
This came after Watney was 127th on the tour in putting average in 2008. He is 44th this season.
"On the tour there is not much difference from most of the golfers, but the short game separates them, " Mike Watney said. "I'm a little surprised that he has done what he's done this year. It's one thing to get to the top five, and it's another things to stay there. Now we're in the fourth month, and he's still there."
It's all about the work, and the attitude that came with it.
"It's the chicken or the egg thing, " said his caddie, Tim Goodell. "Which came first, the change in attitude or the change in bad play? He had a bad attitude last year. But I could tell immediately when he showed up this year that the attitude had changed. The work gave him confidence. He was stuck in a rut last year. When he came back, it was with a clean slate."
Harmon and Watney broke his game down, particularly the short game.
"I worked on my short game, on my putting, " Watney said. "I thought that definitely is the weakest part of my game. There was not one time or one instance when I realized it had paid off. At Phoenix, the second tournament of the year, I could tell I was putting better."
He made his first noise at the FBR Open in Arizona in January, shooting 63 on the second day, finishing 12th. He told writers after that tournament he had simplified his putting by trying to do it like a kid does it, and immediately his new putting strength was evident.
Then came the Buick Invitational in early February at Torrey Pines.
Watney was three strokes back with five holes to play when that new putting strength again showed its head. He sank a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th, part of a three-hole run of birdies, that allowed him to catch and pass John Rollins and win his second tournament.
"That definitely was a lot of fun, " Watney said. "That made me feel a lot of confidence and let me know that what I had worked so hard on was paying off. My consistency was picking up early, and it continued. That was awesome. I think it's better to be consistent."
His scoring average has dropped to 69.51, which is second on the tour.
Harmon, who works with Phil Mickelson, among others, said he noticed Watney's strength quickly.
"(It's) his ability to shoot low, " Harmon said "He is not afraid of any one player. (The) last 36 (holes) with Phil at Doral showed that."
If any one tournament showed he had truly arrived it was the CA Championship at Doral. He played with Mickelson the final day and matched him stroke for stroke until his 20-footer for birdie on the final hole stopped a turn short.
Harmon said of watching two pupils fight it out, "It was great. It was a two-horse race, and I had both horses."
It's all part of the separation of 2008 and 2009. The distaste of last year lingers, but it's going away rapidly.
"When Nick graduated from high school, he wasn't that good. (Mike Watney's son) Josh (who was a senior at Fresno State at the time) kept telling him about how we traveled and how much fun it was and things like that, so Nick wanted to come to Fresno State and play with Josh, " Mike Watney said. "I gave him about as little scholarship help as one could get.
"But he improved so much from the time he arrived till he left. We had six seniors on the team when he got here. I suggested he redshirt because he wouldn't get to play in many tournaments. He said, 'No, . I want to room with Josh and play.'
"He beat out two seniors to make the traveling team. He continued to work hard and improve. He worked very, very hard. He always enjoyed practice. He would always ask, 'Coach, what do I need to work on?' There was a couple times I couldn't think of anything. He likes you to tell him he needs to work on things. That's why Butch is so good for him. Nick doesn't want to hear his swing looks good. Butch will say, that wedge game is not as good at it needs to be from 100 yards in. And Nick will go to work."
Everyone says that isn't a problem, because there still is work to do.
"He has so much room to improve, " Harmon said. "He will be a top 10 player in the world someday."
"When he is mentally into it, I expect him to contend in every tournament he plays, " said Goodell. "He started off with five straight tournaments, and in the fifth he didn't play well. That was the only time he hasn't been in the top 25 this year."
There are goals now that many would have thought impossible as the calendar turned to 2009.
"He wants to play for Freddie (Couples) on the Presidents Cup team. He wants to maybe play on the Ryder Cup next. To do that, you can't be a flash in the pan, " Mike Watney said. "Back in college, when he was a far less experienced golfer, he worked hard at what he wanted. He wants to have challenges and goals, and when he has them, he meets them. That's what he's doing now."
The road continues this week with a return to the Zurich Classic and TPC Louisiana, a place he showed his vast potential two years ago.
"There is no question I'm excited to get back there, " Watney said. "I have some special vibes from that tournament and that area. It's great to get back there."
In 2007, Watney became the first Zurich Classic winner to post all four rounds in the 60s (69-67-68-69) since Carlos Franco turned the trick in 2000 at English Turn Golf & Country Club.
Tommy Fonseca, president of the Fore!Kids Foundation, which runs the Zurich Classic, said Watney always will remember that first victory.
"He's a young man who will always come back, " Fonseca said. "He's a man of the world now, but he donated his time and his money after he won here. We have a special relationship with him now."
But that man of the world is showing the world his talent now. He has moved to fourth in the FedExCup standings and is third in money. Perhaps most important, his short game has been a strength, not a weakness.
"He has some special memories there, no doubt, " Goodell said. "But Nick has the game to play any course well."

text: Dear Parents In today's world where even educational institutes have lost sight of their noble ideals in a mad rush for money, we take pride in introducing ourselves as an academy committed to the idea of excellence in education for the past fifteen years. Genius Students Academy is the brainchild of academicians trying to cater to the educational requirements of school going children. Parents, afterall, cannot help in subjects like Maths, Science & Accountancy even if they have the time and the inclination to do so. G.S.A. (as the name might suggest) doesn't only take geniuses as students but endeavours to bring out the genius in every student. In this highly competitive world, the quest for excellence is a must. It is because of this quest for excellence that a student should be able to distinguish between the best institute and a good Institute. Students join a certain institute because of peer pressure, because of others' recommendations or certain other factors. But are they sure that the institute which they are joining is the best? There are enough reasons for us at 'Genius' to feel we are capable of giving the best impetus to them for the following reasons. Highly dedicated teachers associated with leading schools of the capital who are adepts at their subjects and in pace with the frequent changes in syllabus as they regularly attend seminars organized by the CBSE and NCERT. They guide the students from the basics of each topic to the intricacies as also to the very important aspect of exam guidance.Best quality notes, assignments and tests. Apt examination guidance and proper feedback mechanism like report card, personal phone calls, sms service & meetings.Ability grouping of the students for effective handling of their needs.Maximum number of teaching hours plus practice sessions after the class continuing till the last minutes of final examination.Individual doubt clearing classes for needy students.Regular Parent – Teacher interaction.Excellent track record of results for the past eighteen years.Apart from providing coaching for the subjects opted for by the student, we also provide special guidance to the students for competitive exams like N.T.S.E. Olympiad etc, at no extra cost.Career /psychological counseling is also done by guest speakers throughout the session. Subject experts from CBSE are also invited for exam guidance. We also have a well equipped Library to cater to the needs of the students, audio – visual aids and CD's as teaching tools.Best of infrastructure including air conditioned class rooms, generator backup, R.O. water and maths lab, projectors etc.Given an opportunity, we at Genius feel that probably we might be able to quench this thirst for "excellence in education". As a good will gesture, students are being given an opportunity to attend 4 (four) Trial classes at our Institute free of cost. In our last session we had a strength of over 800 students which sounds incredible in itself, considering that we are constrained to charge a fee (including service tax) which appears to be higher than that charged by many two room centres which have thronged the area and have nothing to offer in terms of quality. We at Genius feel that the hard – earned money shouldn't go waste and that the students get the best for every penny spent.We invite them to our free trial classes and then they can decide for themselves where we stand in comparison to others.We are also successfully running one/two year courses for engineering and medical entrance exams apart from crash courses for Engg. / Medical / B.B.A. / B.B.S. / Hotel Management / Law & Mass Media entrance exams. Scholarships to above 85% scorers shall be extended by us irrespective of where they were studying in the previous year.We hope that the academy achieves its aim in creating geniuses with your understanding support, students' own hard work and our faculty's expert guidance.Thank you,Yours faithfullySigned(VIPUL MEHRA)Director (Genius Students Academy)

For the first time in more than two decades, Hunterdon Central High has a state swimming champion.
Red Devils' junior Holly Christensen took first place in the 100-yard freestyle Sunday during the NJSIAA State Meet of Champions at the Gloucester County Institute of Technology in Sewell.
Christensen's time of 50.97 seconds was just .02 of a second off her school record and was good enough to nudge out Bishop Ahr's Katrina Kuhn (51.08) for the state championship.
"Katrina and I were neck and neck the whole race," said Christensen. "I actually thought she'd won when we touched. When you're in the water everything is just such a blur that you really don't know who's in front.
"I just kicked my heart out to the wall and was fortunate enough to get the win. Katrina is a great competitor."
Christensen entered the finals as the No. 1 seed and she did not disappoint. In victory, she became the first state champion for Hunterdon Central since Carrie Szulc in 1991. Szulc captured the 200 and 500 freestyle titles that year.
"My time was not my big concern," said Christensen, who finished third in the 50 and 100 free state finals a year ago. "I was just trying to get my hand on the wall first. I knew it would be a big deal to get a state title for Hunterdon Central and I'm glad I was able to do it."
Along with Julia Herman, Jessica Ambrose and Kirstin Peterson, Christensen also swam the anchor leg on the HCHS medley relay team that came in third place in 1:46.96 behind perennial nemesis Westfield (1:45.59) and Hillsborough (1:46.16).
Central's time was an All-America consideration cut as well as a school record. The new mark smashed the previous record (1:49.24) set last winter by Herman, Ambrose, Cassie Hubert and Christensen.
"Holly split an incredible 22.97 to anchor," said Central Head Coach Mike Aversano. "The swimmers all had a phenomenal finish to an incredible season.
"We saw five top-eight finishes, three All-America swims and four school records and crowned a new state champion. It's truly amazing they had any energy left in them this weekend after their state championship run. They just left it all in the pool."
The Central 200 free relay team of Ana White, Peterson, Maria Russo and Christensen finished fourth in 1:37.88, bettering the former school record of 1:39.20 set last year by Jane Higley, Hubert, Peterson and Christensen and qualified for All-America consideration cut.
The 400 free relay of Peterson, White, Russo and Christensen took fifth place (3:34.34). However their preliminary time of 3:34.14 was a school record, eclipsing the old school standard of 3:34.88 set last year by Peterson, Ambrose, Hubert and Christensen.
Ambrose, a junior, finished sixth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.87. Her earlier time in the states of 1:04.71 was also an All-America consideration cut. In the 100 butterfly, Peterson finished ninth in 57.41, another school record.
Robert Spichiger of North Hunterdon was another area swimmer who showed well during Sunday's Meet of Champions at Goucester Tech.
A sophomore, Spichiger finished third in the 500-yard freestyle in 4:38.72. Zach Fong of Moorestown was the champion in 4:33.03 and Freehold Township's Ryan O'Neill was next in 4:35.01.
Spichiger, who was seeded second, has improved by leaps and bounds from an already impressive freshman season. He finished 15th in the 500 last year in 4:48.4. He'd never been in an A Finals before.
"I'm very pleased with my performance and my progression as a swimmer," said Spichiger. "Just competing in the meet was a great experience. I was there with my coach, and I was able to hang out with the team from Warren Hills. They were great.
"I dropped a second off of my personal best. I've dropped nearly 10 seconds off my time from last year. It's great to medal but really, the medal is just going to go into a box. What matters to me is to continually improve as a swimmer and to be able to stand on that podium and represent North Hunterdon High School."
Spichiger also finished eighth in the 200 individual medley in 1:57.08, a bit slower than his 1:55.65 seed time. He was seeded No. 8.
"The IM wasn't the best race of my life," he said. "I wasn't so happy with the time itself, but I was really proud of the place and all the hard work that got me there."
The last time an NHHS swimmer finished in the top eight in the state was 1990, when Kent Tschannen won the IM.
Spichiger didn't taper for the MOC, He instead has chosen to taper for the Swiss Long Course Championships scheduled for later this month. He holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Switzerland.
Hunterdon Central's medley relay team of Chandler Amato, Christian Berardo, Ross Welsh and Alex Sutera, seeded 34th among 40, made a huge leap after dropping two seconds off its qualifying time and finished 24th by .01 of a second. The foursome was clocked in 1:42.93.
Karcs Szabo took over backstroke duties in the finals and the boys finished 23rd, beating rival Bridgewater-Raritan to the wall.

What is in this article?:
- Wiregrass Cotton Expo scheduled for Feb. 15 in Dothan, Ala.
- Early plan a must
• The Expo is an opportunity for growers to think strategically about all facets of their cotton program, from variety selection and planting to getting a handle on pest and weed problems.
More About:
The Wiregrass Cotton Expo, one of the Deep South's most comprehensive annual cotton meetings, is slated for Feb. 15 at the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds in Dothan, Ala.
The meeting, in its 14th year, serves cotton producers in Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
William Birdsong, a cotton agronomist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, says that at its core the Expo is an opportunity for growers to think strategically about all facets of their cotton program, from variety selection and planting to getting a handle on pest and weed problems.
"This is the time of year when producers are working out their plans for the upcoming season, and they've got to have the best information available to make informed decisions," Birdsong says.
"The annual Wiregrass Expo was designed for and functions with just that concern in mind," he says.
At the top of the list is variety selection.
"Producers want to stay on the cutting edge of variety selection, because crop genetics are so essential to their success."
As with previous expos, seed company representatives will be on hand to answer questions and to book purchases for the 2013 season, Birdsong says.
To complement these efforts, Extension economist Max Runge will discuss 2013 cropping decision-making, an especially important consideration for Wiregrass growers.
A major focus of Runge's remarks will be on how these decisions should be made in light of the near record yields in 2012, which, ironically, followed record drought in 2011.
The growing problem associated with resistant pigweed, an especially serious problem in the Wiregrass region, is also another issue that will be addressed at this year's expo.

Christopher Mominey has been named the new superintendent of Catholic schools for the Syracuse Diocese, succeeding Michael Colabufo, who is retiring.
Mominey, 37, is deputy superintendent of diocesan schools. He previously was principal of Rome Catholic School. Before that, he was director of campus ministry at Christian Brothers Academy.
His appointment is effective July 1, a day after Colabufo's retirement is effective. Colabufo has served as superintendent since January 2006.
Mominey earned a bachelor's degree in theology from St. Bonaventure University and a master's degree in religious studies from John Carroll University in Ohio. He lives in Jamesville with his wife, Stephanie, and their four children.
Colabufo formerly served as director for administrative services for the Solvay school district and previously was a teacher and administrator with the Syracuse school district.
When Colabufo started with the diocese, it had 39 schools in seven counties. The diocese now operates 29 schools. Enrollment for kindergarten through 12th grade is about 6,000, Mominey said. Enrollment for 2002-2003 was more than 10,665 pupils.
The challenges of declining enrollment and finances don't discourage Mominey.
"It offers the opportunity to be innovative and creative," he said. "We don't have a choice. We have to do something different than what we have been doing."
He said it's likely the diocese will continue to move toward creating regional schools, which may ultimately lead to more closures.
"The school system is going to look much different 10 years from now than it does now," he said by cell phone during a visit to potential donors in Atlanta.
He said raising money will be a priority.
"We've got to figure out how we can reach out to our alumni, our benefactors and have them sponsor kids in our schools and give money directly to our schools," he said.

Dr. Zelcer is an excellent cardiologist but his office staff leaves a lot to be desired. I don't think that are happy in their work. Office is generally a mess with files all over the place.
Great staff and office manager
He is probably a fine doctor but is undermined by a poor office staff. He is hard to reach. Getting test results is like pulling teeth. We asked for records and were told it would cost $1 per page (or they would be sent for free to another doctor.) My wife was freezing after a stress test and they would not lend her a jacket which was sitting unused on a chair! We won't be going back.
New to Florida, I had attempted to become a patient of this office but no one returned my call. I had to call again & leave yet another automated message; THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK WITH THERE!They finally called, no apology, & I went to to the office to sign authorization to obtain my records from another doctor. 3 women sitting at the reception desk & NO ONE OFFERED TO HELP ME. I signed the papers & left with an appointment scheduled. No one even asked me what type of insurance I had!.. Not only was the appt. canceled at the last minute (understandably due to a med. emergency) but when I asked if my records had arrived, they rudely explained that it was MY responsibility to obtain them; THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SENT FOR MY RECORDS! They have no idea what's going on in their own tiny office of 2 doctors! NO WAY WOULD I ENTRUST MY HEALTH WITH THESE PEOPLE. I NEVER EVEN MET THE DOCTOR BUT THE OFFICE IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE NIGHTMARE SO NO MATTER HOW WONDERFUL HE MIGHT BE, I WAS CONVINCED THAT YOUR RECORDS, OR TEST RESULTS, WOULD BE "MISPLACED" BY THE INCOMPETENTS WORKING THERE....
I had an office visit today with Dr. Zelcer, the young man called me in the room like I was in the army. he spoke to me harsh and rude rushing me to come in the door. Once I got into the room, it was filthy with paper on the floor. I was not giving a cape to have my EKG DONE! I was told to lift up my blouse, most doctors offices I am giving a cape. Dr. Zelcer is a wonderful doctor but on the other hand the male nurse was horrible and rude.
He is very sharp, and very much in demand. He has always been there for me, even late at night.
He stays on top of everything and takes time to call me back.
Excellent diagnostician. Lacks patience and very abrupt. Can be obnoxious as well as very sweet. Always seems to be under pressure and it reflects in his attitude towards his patients.
Very nice person and smart. Very good sense of humor. He put me at ease.
The office staff is very good and they are very organized. They helped me with paperwork I needed after I got sick and had to cancel a flight. The doctor was great and very friendly. He is knowledgable and spent time discussing all of my problems.
In in emergency office would not provide fax # to receive authorization for family memeber to act on behalf of alzhiemers patient who needed surgery. Office policy had to be mailed although the patient could be deceased by then. Non-thinking robot Moron's. No reflection on Dr. as he may be excellent, however whoever answered the phone was terrible.
Dr Zelcer is a great doctor who saved my life on two occasions. i recommend him without reservation.He is a truly sensitive and caring person.
I have seen this doctor for years. I know that he spends much time studying his craft, and is dedicated to keeping up with the latest in his field. I have gotten phone calls from him to check on me without any request, and he often informs me of new research pertaining to my condition. I have never had a doctor do that for me before.
My cholesterol has been high for years, and my old doctor did nothing about it. Dr Zelcer's office was very attentive to my problem. He gave me advice on diet that helped, and I didn't even have to take medication.His office is busy, but he makes time for his patients.
He was very attentive, and even explained all of my problems is a way I can understand. He took lots of time with me.

When the New Orleans Pelicans open their summer league mini camp on Monday in Las Vegas, Austin Rivers doesn't know what guard position he may play.
But whatever Pelicans coach Monty Williams has in mind, Rivers is eager to prove he can handle either role better than he did last season as a rookie.
Rivers, the 10th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, shared time at both shooting guard and point guard last season and it appeared to slow his progress during the first three months of the season. He was thrust into the starting lineup at shooting guard when Eric Gordon missed the first 29 games because of a lingering right knee injury.
Appearing overwhelmed, Rivers couldn't finish plays around the rim that forced him to shoot a dreadful 28.3 percent from the field after the first 16 games of the season.
When he finally appeared to get acclimated better after the All-Star break, Rivers' season abruptly ended in March when he sustained a fractured right hand. Starting with next week's summer league, Rivers is confident about a turnaround that he hopes will continue throughout next season.
``I've been trying to get better mostly,'' Rivers said by telephone earlier this week. `` I think this is the best that I've ever felt as far as my career goes. I've never been this athletic, never been this strong,never been able to shoot the ball like this.
``It's the hardest that I worked in a long time. Things went well just before I got hurt and it kind of made me have a chip on my shoulder.''
Besides Rivers, the Pelicans' 13-man summer league roster includes point guard Brian Roberts, forwards Darius Miller and Lance Thomas, who all played a significant role coming off the bench for the team last season. It's also likely point guard Pierre Jackson and center Jeff Withey could be added to the Pelicans' summer league roster on July 10. They were both acquired in recent trades that cannot become official until the league's moratorium is lifted next week.
After going through months of extensive rehabilitation after requiring surgery on his right hand, the summer league will be Rivers' first significant chance to show his growth whether he's found his niche at either guard spot.
With the Pelicans acquiring All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday from the Phiadelphia 76ers in a blockbuster draft night trade and sending last season's starter Greivis Vasquez to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade deal to acquire Tyreke Evans, Rivers could play more at point guard than shooting guard this upcoming season.
Most of the minutes at shooting guard could be divided between Gordon and Evans, who could also emerge as the starting small forward or as the team's sixth man.
Regardless, Rivers seems resigned that he needs to play well to have any chance of gaining a significant role in the rotation going into next fall's training camp. Last season, Rivers made only 37 percent of his shots from the field and averaged 6.2 points in 62 games, which included 26 as a starter. But from 15 to 19 feet, Rivers made only 29.6 percent of his shots, hitting 8-of-27 attempts.
`` My injury gave me a chance to work on my left hand,'' Rivers said. ``I'm kind of happy that it's been a blessing in disguise. I'm not trying to go out there and take it to a level where I am out there exhausting myself.
``I want to go out there and work as hard as I can and work on all my things. I want to develop my skills in the game and that will give me reps going into next year. We still got a lot of trade possibilities with our team, so you never know. I'm not focusing on that. I want to go out there and play and I believe I can.''**************

I've been trying for about two years now to determine where my gg-grandparents are buried in Pecs, Hungary. My grandmother had a xerox of a xerox of a xerox of a photo of their gravestones but I have been unable to track down the original.
I've been able to verify my gg-grandparents' names via the death certificate of one of their children. I have had zero luck in finding their death certificates or any record as to where they are buried. Their names were Jószef Szirovatka and Erzsébet Folge, here are their profiles:
If anyone sees this that speaks Hungarian and is looking for a research challenge please contact me :)

Daniel: Intriguing question I think there may be a fairly easy answer. I googled: pecs hungary cemeteries and up pops a map of the cemeteries with references for each. Why not send the picture you have with a note in English to each of the cemeteries and ask them if these folks are buried there. I also noticed in the Wikipedia entry that Pecs has two US sister cities, that probably means that someone in city government or the better business office speaks English. My travel experience leads me to believe there are many who speak English in Hungary. You may be able to just email. Make sure to use your very best English, no abbreviations or slang. It is worth a try.

My father's mother I believe was actually ethnic Serbian. I believe some of her family may have lived in Hungary. I grew up being told she was Hungarian, although the documents I have found list her as Serbian.
Both emigrated to this country and are buried here. I have been unable to find information about their ancestors. If you find any good resources, I hope you will share. I will do the same for you.

My father in law was born in Czechoslovakia. After WW II, any public records (which survived) for that area, including Hungary, ended up in the former Soviet Union.

have you had any luck with census trying to locate where they were living when they died? Or close to when they died?
Also where the children were living when they died, as they MIGHT have died on a visit - but even today people tend to have the remains shipped to the family stomping grounds to be buried in the family graveyard. Or at least hometown.

I'm no expert, but these are likely in the big main city cemetery; note similar gravestones at http://www.pbase.com/sweetanddeadly/image/69597814.

Wow, lots of great ideas/feedback here. Thanks! I'll just reply to everyone here instead of one by one.
Lori, I use findagrave a lot but unfortunately my gg-grandparents aren't listed in their database. If I can find out where they are buried though I hope to use findagrave to get a photo.
Jon, I have contacted a few cemeteries but so far no luck. The language barrier makes it challenging :(
Maria, I have a contact in Hungary that does genealogy research for $100 a day. He is who I used to track down the death certificate for one of my gg-grandparents children thus confirming their names. I will send you his contact info.
R. Lee - wow, that is the first I've heard of that. That will certainly make this a challenge won't it :)
Susie, do you know where I can find censuses from that area/timeframe? Ancestry.com doesn't have them yet and that's my main resource for censuses. As for the children, my g-grandfather and his brother both emigrated to the US and died here. I only know for sure about one of the other siblings, she died in Pecs and I was able to track down her death certificate. That part was an adventure too, I have a postcard that was written in Suetterlin style german script. I had to find someone who could translate it....it is kind of a neat postcard. Anyway, that's how I determined her date of death and thus the death certificate hunt.
George, Thanks! I may send you a message about writing a letter in Hungarian for me. Something that I could send to the cemeteries in the area to see if they have any records on them.
Brox, thanks, I will get in touch with him and see if he has any ideas.

Randy Foye, a former New Jersey high school player of the year and standout at Newark's East Side High School, will have his No. 2 jersey retired at Villanova on Saturday at the Pavilion, according to a post on the school's website.
Foye was a consensus All-American and the Big East's player of the year as a senior in 2005-06.
"I'm honored to be joining the elite company of Villanova Basketball players with their jersey retired," Foye said in a statement. "My four years on campus were extremely memorable and I appreciate everyone in the Nova Nation for their support. I'd like to thank Coach (Jay) Wright, my teammates and the entire staff who were instrumental in creating successful seasons during my career. Villanova Basketball is built on a tradition of hard work, togetherness and pride, and I've carried this positive attitude with me throughout my NBA career."
Foye was part of Villanova head coach Jay Wright's first full recruiting class.

Homer Tribune
The water-sewer billing system needs to be arranged more on principle than politics and a socialized system where everyone pays whether they use a gallon of water or not also doesn't work.
Those were observations of the water sewer task force that wrapped up its work and handed off new recommendations to the Homer City Council Monday night.
The council will present an ordinance soon that spells out the new rates. One of the chief changes will be a flat $18 service fee for all units. An additional $5 fee will be applied to each unit that doesn't have a separate water meter.
This does away with the $25 water and $20 sewer service fees that were applied to renters throughout the city in January 2012. The task force agreed it was unfair to target that single user group when the ailing system wasn't paying its own way.
Homer Mayor Beth Wythe, who served since May 2012 on the task force, gave a presentation Monday afternoon to the council outlining a new rate model. It begins with what is needed in revenue in order to supply water and sewer services to residents.
That number is $1,890,265 per year. The rates then need to reflect the cost of doing business in as fair and equitable way as possible, she told the council.
Looking at how Sitka, Kenai and other towns do it didn't help much, Wythe said.
"Our system doesn't give an-apples-to apples comparison with any community," she said. "The density is different… All the water is at the top of a hill, then to get it down the hill you have to have all these pressure reducing stations and then you need the lift stations for the solid waste to get it back to the treatment plant."
Homer has state-of-the-art facilities, she noted, that make it expensive. The challenge of the task force was how to make charges reflect actual costs to run it.
Councilman Beau Burgess, also on the task force along with Ken Castner and Sharon Minsch, described it this way.
"As the model currently stands, the biggest overall change is we're going from a fixed rate model based on type of user to a commodity based model, with a few exceptions," he said.
"A gallon of water is a gallon of water. A gallon of sewage is a gallon of sewage, but every two years we get to the same point politically where the council is moving back and forth between (adjusting rates for) residential and commercial, and between high volume and low volume," Burgess said. "This creates polarization that leads to our current deficit."
The task force broke it down to simple math.
"This takes the total number of gallons you think you're gong to sell and divide it by the total revenue requirement of the system," Burgess said.
When the administration set the most recent rates, they singled out the tenants of apartments. But no changes were made on commercial units where multiple offices each contained their own sink and toilet. Those units will now each pay the $5 unit fee in addition to the $18 service charge.
Another problem is that the lift station on the Homer Spit, and other low elevation lift stations, use more energy to transport solid waste to the sanitation system.
The new system assigns costs to those who cause costs, Burgess said. "If you have to pump sewage from sea level up hill to the sewer plant, it costs more than those who flush and it goes down hill," he said.
This impacts 200 people on the system who will see a .2 or .3 cent increase per gallon of sewage, if that recommendation is adopted by the council.
If the rates are set to reflect what it costs to operate, the council will be moving away from a political atmosphere for deciding water and sewer costs.
"Every two years we won't have the little older lady on a fixed income," or a business owner show up and say 'charge the other guy not me,' Burgess said.
The task force also found wasted water resources in the system. The hydrants are currently flushed in order to ensure non-stagnancy and other considerations to keep the water sanitary. Public Works is looking at a new system so that it doesn't see that many lost volumes.
Kachemak City also will need a new contract negotiated since the one in use hasn't been updated to reflect costs in several years, Wythe said.
The council's end goal is to leave time for the residents of the city to review the new rates and have time to testify before adjustments are adopted in June. Once adopted, the new rates will take effect July 1.
In other council matters:
• Introduced: an ordinance to pay $45,000 from the Water Reserve Fund for the demolition of the redwood tank at the Water Treatment Plant. Built in 1974, at the same time as the old water treatment plant was built, the tank is no longer useful. It leaks and may harbor organic sediments that create safety concerns, according to a memo from Public Works Director Carey Meyer to City Manager Walt Wrede. Funding would come from the Water Reserve Fund with help from an EPA grant.
• Passed: A resolution to create a new east-west road between Waddell Way and Bonanza Street and Waddell to Hazel. Eventually the Homer Transportation Plan is to have a route to Main Street in order to ease congestion on Pioneer Avenue.
• Approved: Pulling $110,000 from the Sewer Reserve fund to pay for damages to the waste water system after a Jan. 12 storm surge that flooded the city sewage plant by three and four feet. The insurance deductible is $100,000, which means the city will be paying out-of-pocket for the damage. But adjustments are being made to the insurance policies held by the city to account for severe storm damage.
"$45,000 from the Water Reserve Fund for the demolition of the redwood tank at the Water Treatment Plant"
Glad the city council has so much money to throw around…but c'mon, that is ridiculous.
"The water-sewer billing system needs to be arranged more on principle than politics and a socialized system where everyone pays whether they use a gallon of water or not also doesn't work."
Wouldn't this apply to the gas line as well?
Should people who don't want it be forced into socialized costs for other people who do want it?
Should some people on the system, say at the end of the spit, being paying more than someone right in town?

Temperatures topped 100 degrees in Springfield on Tuesday with heat indices reaching upwards of 105 degrees for several hours in the afternoon.
Hazy. Hot. Humid.
With no relief in sight -- a weekend thunderstorm at the earliest -- here are our top-10 ways to stay cool in Western Massachusetts:
10. Amelia Park in Westfield offers public ice skating on Thursday from 3 to 4 p.m. Don't know how? Take a "Learn to Skate" course Thursday at 6 p.m. to gear up for a Saturday doubleheader of open ice from 1 to 3 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.
9. Experience the chilly tundra of Alaska and Antarctica . . . with a stunning gallery in the air-conditioned Forbes Library in Northampton. Photography by Howell Lee and Eugenie Wu is on display all month, kicked off by a formal reception held Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. at the Hosmer Art Gallery.
8. Scrounge for loose change under your couch cushions as you wait for the dulcet tones of the ice cream truck circling your neighborhood. Then, spend the evening researching the origins of the term "ding-dong cart." Do they call it that anywhere outside of Western Massachusetts?
7. Hit the links in the comfort of air conditioning with West Springfield's Tee 2 Green Indoor Golf Club, which offers mini golf, a golf simulator, lessons, a sports bar and more. Reservations can be made by calling 737-9200.
6. View the Inner Beauty of Flowers at Smith College's Lyman Conservatory. It's open daily from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. with free admission (but donations are gratefully accepted and appreciated). The outdoor temperatures will almost seem cool by comparison.
5. Take a trip to the Holyoke Mall's Apple Store and play around with the newest iPhone 4. It's very cool.
4. Ice tub snorkeling: It's a classic heat wave twist to bobbing for apples. Just replace what-would-be coral reefs with goldfish.
3. Meet and greet NCAA champion, Olympian and WNBA superstar Cynthia Cooper at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday at noon. General Hall of Fame admission is $12 adults and $8 youth for pre-booked one week in advance, or $15 and $11 at the door.
2. It's always winter at the Bavarian Village section of Yankee Candle's flagship store in South Deerfield. With displays of nutcrackers, decorations and ornaments of all types - and artificial snow that falls periodically - you'll start worrying if there are enough shopping days left to find gifts for everyone on your Christmas shopping list.
1. Float along the Westfield River by access through Robinson State Park. It's Agawam's best lazy river without thousands of tourists and heavy traffic. For other quaint water reliefs around the area, check swimmingholes.org. Be aware of river conditions and make sure a lifeguard is on duty.

Grateful Dead
To Terrapin: Hartford, May 28, 1977
By Blair Jackson
And the whistle is screaming...
3 Disc Set
Whether or not the fabled spring tour of 1977 was, as many Dead Heads believe, the strongest Grateful Dead tour ever, it was unquestionably a magical time stuffed-to-overflowing with amazing shows. Say the word "Cornell" to any hardcore Head and it means one thing—the 5/8/77 show at Barton Hall on the august school's campus. But there were numerous other stops on the tour that produced monster shows, as well, from the five-night run at the Palladium in New York, to the incredible Fox Theatre in Atlanta (5/19 was part of the two-show Dick's Picks #29), to the two Florida shows—Lakeland and Pembroke Pines (Dick's Picks #29 and Dick's Picks #1, respectively)—Tuscaloosa, Richmond… the tour was a scorcher from beginning to end.
What was up? Well, by the spring of '77, the Dead had been back on the road for nearly a year following their famous performing hiatus, so Mickey Hart was thoroughly re-integrated into the band, and the septet was hitting a new stride. There was a handful of great new songs being integrated into the repertoire, including Garcia and Hunter's complex, epic "Terrapin Station" suite, Weir and John Barlow's cool, off-kilter reggae tune "Estimated Prophet," and Phil and Peter Monk's rollicking "Passenger." Those songs would form the core of the album that the Dead were recording in the winter of '77 with producer Keith Olsen down in Los Angeles. Olsen was a sharp guy with good ears (as they say in the biz), and he worked the Dead hard in the studio, forcing them to play perhaps a bit more precisely than they were accustomed to. Now, one can endlessly debate whether the result of Olsen's approach was ultimately an album that was a tad too precise—a criticism even the band leveled at Terrapin Station—but all the laboring over parts and arrangements in the studio seemed to have an extremely positive impact on how the band played live that spring.
Which brings us to Hartford, Connecticut on the night of May 28, 1977—the final night of this Tour for the Ages, and the source of our latest release, To Terrapin. You'd never know from listening to this show that the band had been on the road for more than a month and 25 previous concerts, because it has that sparkle and intensity the band only had when it was fresh, feelin' good and in full exploration mode. From the rippin' "Bertha" > "Good Lovin'" > "Sugaree" trifecta opening, through the spectacular second set sequence comprised of "Playing in the Band," a brisk and buoyant "Terrapin," a fantastic one-of-a-kind "Not Fade Away," "Wharf Rat," and the "Playing reprise." Definitely the band at its best!
So, why put this out now? Why the hell not? And what's with all the questions? Just enjoy it. OK, aside from it being a classic show worthy of release, we thought it might be fun to revisit a concert played in one of the venues The Dead are hitting this spring on their tour—that would be the Hartford Civic (now the XL Center) on 4/26/09… why, that's the 31-year, 11-month, 2-day anniversary show of this epic '77 show! Anyway, this three-disc complete show release has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs from the original reel-to-reel tapes by Jeffrey Norman utilizing the usual array of mysterious black boxes and sonic tools unavailable to us mere mortals. Artist Scott McDougal, who's done such a bang-up job for us on the Road Trips series, has designed a beautiful package, and the always erudite Gary Lambert has contributed a fine essay which is accompanied by glorious photos of the band in Hartford in 1977. And because we know that in these tough economic times everyone could use a bargain, we're offering To Terrapin at the very low price of $17.98 for all pre-orders placed on dead.net before the April 7th release date. That's $2 under the suggested retail price. For the complete track listing and ordering info, click here.
...complaining about this release. This EXACTLY what people have been asking for - a complete show from a great period, in a great tour, with a great set list, (most definitely) in great sound quality, at a good price!! This should silence the doubters.
This is going to be a classic...I can feel it.
This is great, but I'd also like to see a May '77 box set, featuring this show, 5/7, 5/8 and 5/9 (Boston Garden, Barton Hall and Buffalo War Memorial) as well as remastered versions of the two May '77 Dick's Picks*, since, as awesome as the Pembroke Pines show is, it sounds really thin compared to the recent Road Trips and Winterland '73 box set. I'll have to hand it to the Rhino engineers, they really know how to extract every last ounce of sonic goodness from the vault tapes.
*And heck, since I'm dreaming, why not a bonus disc or two with material from Mosque 5/25/77 and the Springfield show on 5/5/77.
i've got the charlie miller, but i'm gonna buy just to keep that release bus rollin'. pennies on the dollar boys and grrlz. no better investment in these times like the good ol' grateful dead. see y'all later!
My first show! I have had multiple copies over the years, each better than the next, but having an official release makes it even more special. I remember reading years ago that it was Dick Latvala's son's first show as well, but he was slightly younger!! Arriving into town on a clear Saturday afternoon, not really knowing what to expect, and then noticing that that no matter which direction I looked I saw nothing but hippies! As soon as I left the car I started floating, floating thru the crowds, getting inside and floating down the aisle, Bertha kicks in and leads to a classic 77' Good Lovin' which then leads to an awesome Sugaree. Some 30 minutes later and the band finally exhales!! 123 shows later, ending at RFK in 1995, sure there were better shows, crazier experiences, trips across this wonderful country, but nothing is like the first time, and no, I don't mean sex, but then again, that first time was fairly awesome too!! Thanks!!!
this run of shows is amazing.this is what got me into the dead and ive been on the long strange trip ever since.i remember hearing a live radio broadcasts of one of the shows from this tour,on WNEW fm. any one from the new york area who liked good music listend to WNEW fm 102.7. i was in 10th grade at the time i was listining to alot of led zep,yes,ELP,floyd that kind of stuff.i was at a party in my friend georges hood,some of the older dudes had been listining to the dead and hot tuna for years.i remember thinking wow this is good shit,so was the acid we took butt the cid wore off thank god the music never did.the release date april 7th happens to be my 47th birthday thanks for the memmories
Nice surprise..New Old Dead
Hey, man. I'm at wtofd at yahoo dot com. I'd like to talk to you about trading and those dvd's.
And, since I sound like such a prick, I'll try making amends by offering a few B&Ps for anyone who wants DVDs of that circulate of 4/26 or 4/27/77. Please contact me directly, not here.
This definitely is "warts and all" video, but totally watchable, and pretty spectacular to see what the band looked like onstage while playing that oh-so-familiar and incredible tunage during the Spring of '77.
Charlie Miller did well on this one...thats fer sure. I'll give her a buy just for the HDCD fact though...
Oh...and one month...lord all mighty...it's 2009...we need it NOW!!!

Many in Washington are confident that Congress will reach an eleventh-hour agreement that will avert the universally maligned sequestration process. The former defense secretary and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff aren't among them.
Speaking Sept. 17 at the Center for International and Strategic Studies, Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, respectively, took aim at Congress for its shortcomings, which they said has led the U.S. to the precipice of a "fiscal cliff." Blaming members for forgoing the greater good in favor of partisanship, the former top DOD brass warned of the dangers posed by the looming $1.2 trillion in across-the-board federal budget cuts – in addition to the burgeoning U.S. debt.
"A nation with our current levels of unsustainable debt, being this far out of fiscal balance, cannot hope to sustain for very long its superiority – from a military perspective or its influence in world affairs," Mullen said. Facing "abundant disorder in our fiscal house, brought upon us by ourselves, by our own doing," Mullen pointed out that baby boomers, including Vietnam veterans, have left the country in worse shape than it was received.
"This is a legacy for which we should all hang our heads," he said.
Mullen stopped short of saying he expects sequestration to happen, but he was not optimistic.
"I'm not as hopeful as others that we won't drive off this cliff. I'm worried sick about it, quite frankly," he said.
And while the former Joint Chiefs chairman said he wasn't there to point fingers – "I don't have enough fingers" – Gates set his crosshairs firmly on Capitol Hill. He outlined what he believes are the root causes for Capitol Hill's current state of dysfunction: gerrymandering, partisan ideological zeal, declining congressional power brokers and a 24/7 digital media spin cycle that has led to a "dumbing-down of the national political dialog."
"American politics has always been a shrill and ugly business, going back to the founding fathers. As the result of several polarizing trends, we have lost the ability to execute even the most basic functions of government, much less solve the most difficult, divisive problems facing this country," Gates said. "Too many of our politicians seem more concerned with winning elections and scoring ideological points than with saving the country."
Gates touched on his own cuts he instituted when in control at the Pentagon – nearly $80 billion in cuts he requested in his defense budget as he was stepping down in July 2011. By the time he retired, nearly $900 billion had been cut from defense spending over the next 10 years on paper – before sequestration was considered, he said.
The grim figures are compounded by history, Gates pointed out.

Help us identify the outstanding women and men in federal IT.
Hack the Pentagon proved to Defense Department officials that outside hackers can be assets, not adversaries.
Government cybersecurity officials say the presidential policy directive codifies cyber incident response protocols but doesn't radically change what's been in practice in recent years.
The government's departing top acquisition official said she leaves behind a solid foundation on which to build more effective and efficient federal IT.
The National Background Investigations Bureau announced the appointment of its first director as the agency prepares to take over processing government background checks.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said agencies are missing out on younger workers because of the government's rigidity, particularly its protracted hiring process.
The pointed stick has two ends. No Congress has NOT done their job. But neither has the management of DOD. Cut out the BS and the duplication and interservice rivalry (like Bob McNamara tried to do 50 years ago), and DOD could probably stand a 1/3 budget cut with no loss of mission capability.
Mike Mullen for President!
The era of partisan politics needs to come to a swift end. Our nation is in trouble and Democrats and Republics sqabbling over every issue has created a dysfunctional government. It's time for Patriots to stand up and take charge and for the American people to fire these politicians that can't get the job done - starting from the top down!
Bravo!!! Country first and politics last. If we don't save what we have, there won't be anything for congress to do except leave. Most of them should go now anyway since they are so ineffective. This may go down in history as the worst congress ever. They certainly don't know how to do the jobs they were sworn in to do. Get rid of them and the country would be more functional and much richer.

Spring is finally here, really
Back from a restful week in the Catskills! The gathering of friends from other places is always a great way to relax and recharge for the coming months. It is always "Old Home Week" when we go to the Villa Roma near Callicoon, N.Y. We park the car and take advantage of the shuttle to go to the events in which we take part. Two movies every day, if one wants to go, and trivia contests, bingo, crafts, bowling, hiking, the spa, horse racing (shipboard style), turtle races, games, activities for all ages all times of the year, and excellent food! My friend from New Jersey taught me how to make the latest craze in scarves. It was great to visit with all our friends in the area, too. I highly recommend the resort for everyone, including families, couples and business conventions. Of all the traveling we do, including Sanibel, Fla., this is our choice of where to be at any time. It is a nine-hour drive from Waterford, so you know we like it to make that drive several times a year!
While we were there, five basketball teams were housed there to practice for national tournaments. I mentioned the name of a great-nephew (D. J. Cunningham, UNC-Asheville) and some of them knew him and had played against him and had many good things to say about him and his playing ability. What a small world! His cousin, another great-nephew (Nathan Cunningham) had played with his music group from college at Carnegie Hall in February. I am so proud of this generation of family!
Is your tongue still green from St. Paddie's Day green beer? Hopefully, you passed on this part of the celebration. If not, maybe you have learned that it isn't all that great and will refrain from it in future years! The corned beef is great for the Rueben sandwiches, that is, if you had any left. We never do as it is one of our favorite meals. Usually I get a couple extra corned beef roasts to have in the freezer. That didn't happen this year – I am trying to get to the bottom of frozen food already in there (so I can put more in)! Summer is coming and the vegetables will want to be frozen. There is often a discussion about for which the space should be used, and ice cream on sale usually wins around here.
With the sun showing its face more now and the temperature slowly rising, there is the temptation to do some planting in the garden. Don't do it yet! The potatoes on St. Patrick's Day and the onion sets are about all that is safe to plant now. The spinach is jumping around, trying to get to the garden, and the radishes are saying, "Me, too!" but they just have to wait a few days. It is always so tempting to rush out and get flower plants to spruce up those ugly winter garden sites, but it can be money wasted. Husband Norm is determined to not plant a garden until June 1 as the ground is warm by then and the plants take off faster than the ones planted earlier who got cold feet. Of course, we really plan not to plant much this year (like always)!
With so many missed days of school, the young folks may not have all the summer they are used to having, so any vacation plans will have to be adjusted. This means, when you finally do get to go somewhere, you should have it planned so no days are wasted. I always pick up the new travel books at the West Virginia Welcome Station, and this year was no different. There are so many neat places to visit, and so many close to our valley, that it will be difficult picking out just a few. To get these travel ideas, go to a local Welcome Station – there is one in Williamstown – and start planning some trips. Two other ways to get information is to call 800-CALL WVA (800-225-5982) or go online to www.wvtourism.com. Too often we go to other places hundreds of miles away when great places to see are only a day's trip away.
The Wilds near Cumberland, Ohio, is world-renowned as a great open zoo, and they have more tours than just a day trip. I see no way for me to go to Africa, but I can drive less than an hour to see something even bigger (and much less expensive and everyone speaks English). This local trip is a must if you have kids. They will learn more in a day than in a week or month reading about it, and do it having fun. Another spot on my Bucket List is Prickett's Fort State Park near Fairmont, about two hours from Parkersburg – 304-363-3030 or www.prickettsfort.org for more information. I have been told that their Christmas celebration, the first two weekends in December, is wonderful, and the summer months should be even more enjoyable. For those who like adventure, the Ace Adventure Resort has lots to offer – 877-292-9937 or AceRaft.com/Guide. And there is always Bridge Day at New River Gorge. The train excursions will take one back in history for rides to remember, especially the one where one can overnight in Elkins and attend the Branson-style variety show at the American Mountain Theater. Boy Scouts from all over the country attended the 2013 National Scout Jamboree in the mountains of West Virginia, a happening of which every West Virginian should be proud.
Everything from local cooking shows to wonderful vacations can be had in our valley (or close to it). There is so much available to us that we have to plan so we can see and do as much as possible. Vacations will give your young ones memories to hold onto for all their lives.
Be thankful that spring is almost securely here and celebrate each day with joy. We all have sad and bad things happen, and we just have to keep going and put them where they belong and keep smiling. Help anyone you can and keep the others in your prayers. Use this Lenten season to strengthen your mind, body and heart. God bless!
Two (10-oz.) packages frozen chopped spinach
One-fourth cup chopped onion
One teaspoon salt
One-half teaspoon pepper
One-fourth cup olive oil
Two tablespoons butter
One and one-half tablespoons flour
One cup milk
One-fourth cup dry vermouth
Two pounds fish fillets (flounder is good), cut into serving-sized pieces
One cup grated Cheddar cheese
Cook and drain spinach. Place in a greased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with onion, seasonings and oil. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter. Stir in flour until smooth (do not brown) and blend in milk and stir constantly until thickened. Season with additional salt. Add vermouth. If using frozen fish, thaw and squeeze out water between paper towels. Place fillets over spinach and pour white sauce over all. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 45 minutes in pre-heated 350-degree oven.
Five pounds raw shrimp in shells
One-half of five-ounce bottle of Worcestershire sauce
One-half of five-ounce bottle of soy sauce
One pound butter or margarine
Two tablespoons cracked pepper
One-fourth cup lemon juice
Four tablespoons catsup
One tablespoon dried parsley, crumbled
Two tablespoons garlic salt
One teaspoon oregano
Wash shrimp, peel and devein. Drain and dry as thoroughly as possible. Combine all remaining ingredients and heat until butter has melted. Add shrimp and bake in preheated 350-degree oven for thirty minutes, stirring occasionally. Let set aside for about an hour to marinate before serving. Serve in individual bowls, pouring some sauce over each serving. Serve with French bread for dunking in the sauce.
Two medium sized eggplants
One-half teaspoon salt
One medium onion, chopped
Two cans cream of mushroom soup
Chopped pecans
One-half stick margarine or butter
Five or six saltine crackers, crushed
One-half cup grated cheese
Peel and cube eggplants into about three-quarter-inch cubes. Add chopped onion and salt. Cover with water and cook until tender. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Put one-half eggplant mixture into a buttered casserole. Cover with one can condensed mushroom soup. Sprinkle with a few pecans and dot with butter. Repeat layers. Top with cracker crumbs that have been mixed with the grated cheese. Dot with butter and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until cheese is melted and the top is brown.
This tastes like an oyster casserole and is a great Lenten dish.
One small head cabbage
Two or three cooking apples
Two to three tablespoons margarine or butter
One-fourth cup brown sugar
Core cabbage and cut into small wedges about one inch across (or cut cabbage into chunks). Core, but do not peel, apples and cut into slices. Melt butter or margarine in a large, heavy skillet over medium to low heat. Add the cabbage and the apples. Gently turn with a spatula occasionally as the cabbage and apples cook. Add more butter if they start to stick. As soon as the cabbage starts to wilt, sprinkle sugar over all and stir gently. Use medium to low heat throughout cooking. This cooks quicker if you cover the skillet with a lid and let the steam help cook the cabbage and apples. Stir occasionally. Uncover for the last part of cooking, though. Done when the cabbage and apples are limp and translucent.
For a different flavor, add a few caraway seeds when the sugar is added. Cooked without the sugar is more Irish and with the sugar, especially with the caraway, makes it a more German dish.

Today we have a glimpse of that mixtape, and it involves the rhyming skills of Gary, Indiana's own Freddie Gibbs. The two linked up recently at a music festival earlier this year and as they say, "The rest is history." You'll notice some subtle differences than the original, as the band rerecorded their vocals to blend with Freddie's verses, which in the end came out seamless and amazing. Cults are also planning an upcoming tour this January, stay tuned!

Tom Neil Promoted to Group President at Fiserv
BROOKFIELD, Wis. -- Fiserv has made some changes to its management ranks. It has added two group presidents and announced some other high-level executive moves, including one very close to credit unions. Tom Neil, who heads up the Fiserv Credit Union and Industry Products Group, is now group president for depository institution core processing. In this new role, Neil will still lead the credit union group, but is now taking on the bank and thrift division within Fiserv. Fiserv has seven credit union data processing subsidiaries. Other changes include the following: o Rahul Gupta has joined Fiserv as group president for payments and industry products. Gupta was most recently president of U.S. operations for eFunds; o Thomas Warsop has joined Fiserv as group president of financial institutions. Warsop hails from EDS. He had a 17-year career with EDS, most recently as vice president, U.S. financial services; o Mike Gantt has been named group president, health and insurance group. Gantt previously served as group president, bank systems; and
o Matthew Epstein has joined Fiserv as senior vice president, strategic partnerships. He comes from Merrill Lynch, where he was most recently director of the financial institutions group. He covered Fiserv in that role.

HOYLAKE, ENGLAND - There was a time when Jim Furyk believed the British Open would be his best chance to win a major. The 2003 U.S. Open champion hopes he's recovered that belief.
"I want to be back where I'm competing well in this championship," said Furyk after an opening-round 68 left him just two shots off the lead and in the thick of the hunt at Hoylake.
The British Open
Site: Royal Liverpool.
Length: 7,258 yards.
Par: 35-37-72
Purse: $7.35 million.
Winner's share: $1.32 million.
Defending champion: Tiger Woods.Surprise: Bad fashion on the links
Furyk took to the links style of golf immediately as he embarked on his career, finishing fourth, fourth and 10th in successive Opens at Royal Troon, Royal Birkdale and Carnoustie from 1997-99.
But then it all got away from him. Since 2001, Furyk has missed five straight cuts.
"All of the pre-tournament talk was that this course was perfect for me and that I should be right up there," he said. "But I was looking at the course thinking that even par around here would be spectacular. I don't know how I'm going to do it."
He obviously figured it out. Greeted with benign conditions on a course modestly softened by overnight rain, Furyk posted six birdies against two bogeys to basically hold the high ground on the leaderboard.
"It's just a day where you need to go out and post a good number and keep up with everyone else," he said.
It was a positive start for Furyk coming off his experience in the last major championship. He was a part of the rebound club from Winged Foot, having missed his own opportunity to win a second U.S. Open title last month.
Furyk's missed 5-footer for par on the final hole kept him from posting the first 5-over in the clubhouse that ultimately ended up being the winning number for Australian Geoff Ogilvy. Furyk believed he needed to get another birdie to have a chance to at least be in a playoff.
He stewed about his missed chance only for one night and let it go after a Monday golf outing and a week of family vacation.
"That's part of golf," he said. "I've felt worse after tournaments, I know that."
Like any of his last five British Opens.

As I noted last week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry plans to make a "major announcement" today about his future plans.
The Texas Tribune speculates that Perry will announce that he doesn't plan to seek reelection for governor:
Though he has stayed quiet about the contents of those plans, Perry is widely expected to announce that he will not seek an unprecedented fourth term as governor, likely clearing a path for Attorney General Greg Abbott to succeed him.
Small signs, like Abbott's fundraising edge and little movement inside Perry's campaign apparatus, have suggested that the governor may instead be prepping for another presidential run.
"Certainly, that's an option out there," Perry conceded yesterday on Fox News Sunday. "But again, we got a lot of work to do in [the state Capitol] over the course of the next couple of weeks that have my focus substantially more than even 2014 or 2016."
There's also the possibility that Perry may hint at possible plans for a presidential run in 2016. Whatever the announcement is, Perry plans to make his announcement at an event in San Antonio this afternoon. Stay tuned…
What do you think today's announcement will be?
Update: Perry is riding off into the sunset… for now. Do you think he will run in 2016? If he does, he'll definitely face some stiff competition from a fellow Texan, Sen. Ted Cruz.

On Wednesday Boise Police announced a break in the case when they announced that Patrick Zacharias was named as the main suspect in the case. He was arraigned in court just a few hours later.
Senior Pastor Bruce Young had only been in Boise for three years when the murder happened on Palm Sunday back in 1998. The news brought relief for those who had wanted answers for so long, but for many it also opened old wounds.
"Probably even more powerful feeling was sadness because it takes you back to when all this happened, and the lives it affected including mine," said Young.
Many described Kay Lynn as a quite and kind person who looked out for others, and was very involved in her church. There is still a plaque dedicated to her which hangs in one of the rooms there.
Pastor Young says while this new information may be hard for some to handle he says the congregation is comforted by their faith.
"We are comforted with the fact that she is with the lord, and we are comforted with the fact that we believe in god," said Young, "And that he sees and he knows and one day he will judge."
