Brewer, H.M. and Eatough, Virginia and Smith, Jonathan A. and Stanley, C. and Glendinning, N.W. and Quarrell, O. (2008) The impact of juvenile Huntington's disease on the family - the case of a rare childhood condition. Journal of Health Psychology 13 (1), pp. 5-16. ISSN 1359-1053.Full text not available from this repository.
There has been little research into the impact of Juvenile Huntington's Disease (JHD) on the family, and the issues facing this group are poorly understood. The study reported here is part of larger project that aimed to address this. Ten semi-structured interviews with the main carer were carried out, and were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). This article reports three themes arising from the study relating to the psychosocial impact of JHD on the family: (1) dealing with something so different; (2) lack of understanding (3) isolation. This information is useful in developing appropriate services for families affected by JHD, as well as being of relevance to other childhood conditions.

Q&A: Thomas Ian Nicholas Returns For 'American Reunion' As Actor & Musician
American Reunion opens tomorrow, and for Thomas Ian Nicholas, it's not just returning to the role of Kevin Myers. One of his songs is featured on the film's soundtrack and his band is coming to Universal CityWalk this Saturday to mark the occasion.
I recently connected with Thomas, who is a true multi-hyphenate (actor, singer, musician, producer, director and writer), to ask what it's like to step back into an old role and just how he keeps all those pursuits straight!
With American Reunion, you stepped back into a role that you haven't played in a few years. What did you have to do in order to do that? Was it a challenge?
As an actor, the hardest work is creating the backstory, which I did on the first [film]. So it's really easy to go back to a sequel and reprise the role. If you forget it, just watch the movie. (laughs) I was a little nervous about it but there wasn't really anything I could do. At the very first table reading, even just being there, there's an energy that exists in this cast. I think it's the reason we all work so well together. I'm very thankful to be a part of this franchise.
It's not just an acting role for you this time. You've got a song on the soundtrack. How did that come about?
I've had a band for awhile. I've tried to get a song on the soundtrack of all of the films and it just never ended up working out. I ended up playing the wrap party, and they were all, "We have to put a song of yours on the soundtrack!"
You've got about six titles to your name. How did you get started trying all these different aspects of the business?
I like to stay busy and I never sleep. (laughs) I don't like waiting around for work, and sometimes as an actor you're forced into that position, so that's sort of how I got into writing, producing and directing. I didn't have the patience to wait around for my next role. Music is another aspect that keeps me busy, so that in between films, I'm touring around.
Did you have a particular moment when you decided this was going to be your career path?
That moment happened in 1986. I moved with my mom to Los Angeles for her to pursue her acting career, and she got a job casting atmosphere in some independent films. They needed an altar boy, so my mom was like, "You're coming to set with mom and playing this altar boy," because there was no other choice at the moment. I just loved being on set, and after that experience, I started pursuing my career.
Other than the American Pie series, is there a role that you'd say you're the most proud of or would like fans to check out?
I think most recently, that would be Please Give. I really enjoyed working on that film. Nicole Holofcener's movies always have such great, layered characters with flaws, and you don't find that a lot in movies. Jake Gyllenhaal was in one of her films and that really set things off for him. I ran into him at a restaurant last year and he was like, "I saw you in Please Give, you were amazing." We won the Robert Altman Award at the Independent Spirit Awards.
Are there certain actors who inspire you?
I'm a big fan of character actors like Johnny Depp and Gary Oldman. My goal is to continue playing character roles in indie films and move into playing character leads.
One of the things I found interesting about you is that you're also very active when it comes to social media.
I've been on like the forefront of social media. I run all my own pages, and this is back to MySpace and answering my own emails in like 2006. Even before that, I always had websites with emails that dropped directly to me. I always felt it was more interactive than fanmail. It breaks down the barrier. It gives people an opportunity to connect with their favorite actors in a different way.
What are the shows, movies or musical artists that you enjoy?
I definitely try to steer away from reality TV as much as possible. Just because that takes away work from my friends and myself. The only reality TV that's allowed is like, cooking shows. They're not trying to be actors and then we can find out where all their restaurants are.
I'm a big fan of all the HBO and Showtime original programming, like True Blood. I watch Modern Family. I am obsessed with the Foo Fighters. Musically speaking, I want to tour with the Foo Fighters. [And] Shawshank Redemption [is] the best movie ever.
My thanks to Thomas Ian Nicholas for taking the time for this interview! You can catch him in American Reunion, which opens April 6, and his band will be playing a concert at Universal CityWalk on April 7 at 8 PM. For more on him, check out his website and give him a follow on Twitter.

Airing Sunday, September 28, 2008 on PBS Check local listings
When an elderly client loses a fortune on an investment, fearless Sally Lockhart (Billie Piper, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Mansfield Park) will stop at nothing to rectify the situation — even if it means risking everything important to her in the process. As Sally sorts out the threads of the mystery — a magician being pursued by thugs, a clairvoyant who sees a brutal murder in the woods and a rich, heartless industrialist on a mad mission — nothing fits together. But as Sally closes in on the truth, it becomes devastatingly clear that her life will be forever altered. JJ Feild (Northanger Abbey) reprises his role as Frederick Garland in this adaptation of Philip Pullman's novel.

Part 3: Care Trusts and Partnership Arrangements
Sections 45 -47: Care Trusts and directed partnership arrangements
217.Section 45 provides for the designation of Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and NHS trusts as Care Trusts in cases where they have local authority health-related functions delegated to them by agreement. The Care Trust will then be able to commission and/or provide integrated services covering health, social services and other health-related local authority functions. Designation as a Care Trust will lead to a change in governance arrangements so that local authority interests are duly represented within the governance structures of the Care Trust. Care Trusts are intended to provide for a high level of integration between health and local authority services enabling patients' needs to be addressed holistically, the synergies of joint working to be exploited and patients to benefit from a seamless provision of their care needs.
218.Care Trust status will be conferred where an application is made to the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales jointly by the NHS bodies and local authorities involved. Under section 46, partnership arrangements will have to be set up where the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales directs that partnership arrangements are to be entered in to in order to address the inadequate performance of an NHS body or of a local authorities social services functions .
Section 45: Care Trusts where voluntary arrangements
219.Section 45 provides for the designation of a PCT or NHS trust as a Care Trust following an application to the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales by the partners in the proposed Care Trust.
220.Subsection (1) provides that the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales may designate a PCT or NHS trust that is, or is to be, party to local authority delegation arrangements as a Care Trust. Subsection (1)(b) requires the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to be of the opinion that Care Trust status is likely to promote the effective exercise by the trust of any delegated health-related functions of the local authority alongside the trust's existing NHS functions. This reflects the main aim of a Care Trust which is to improve services through effective integration of NHS and local authority services.
221.Subsection (2) sets out the voluntary nature of this approach to forming a Care Trust. The Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales will only be able to designate a Care Trust following a joint application by the local partners. The NHS partner could be a PCT, NHS trust or Health Authority, where a Care Trust is to be based on an existing Primary Care Group (see paragraph 225 below). Regulations will define the detailed arrangements for the applications. This will enable the arrangements for the different NHS partners to be specified, and allow regulations to be made governing the formation of a Care Trust where more than one local authority or health body has an interest.
222.Subsection (3) enables the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to direct that where a Care Trust is exercising health-related functions of a local authority alongside its NHS functions , it may exercise health-related functions of that local authority in relation to people for whom it does not exercise NHS functions. The intention is that the NHS and local authority health-related functions of the Care Trust should be exercised together as far as possible in order to provide integrated services. This flexibility will be required to cope with the different populations covered by local authorities and health bodies. A Care Trust may have responsibility for only NHS or only local authority health-related functions for some sections of the population.
223.Subsection (4) enables the designation of a Care Trust to be revoked by the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales. This may be of the Secretary of State's or National Assembly for Wales's own motion (after consultation) or following an application by one or more of the parties. In the latter case, the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales must revoke the designation at the earliest time considered appropriate having regard to the steps that need to be taken in connection with the revocation.
224.Subsection (5) provides for the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to designate a body as a Care Trust by order, either amending the establishment order of an existing PCT or NHS trust, or by creating a new PCT or NHS trust. A new body will be created where a Care Trust is to be formed from a partnership between a local authority and a Primary Care Group.
225.Subsection (6) contains provisions which enable the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to dissolve existing PCTs or NHS trusts where they think it is appropriate to do so in connection with the designation of another body as a Care Trust. Subsection (7) enables the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to make regulations dealing with matters which are consequential or supplementary to the formation of Care Trusts and the revocation of the designation of such trusts. Subsection (8) sets out particular circumstances for which such regulations may make provision. These include:
the process for applying for Care Trust status, the information to be supplied and the criteria to be met; and
the governance arrangements for a Care Trust. The intention is to include local authority members on the boards of Care Trusts and to increase the representation of social services professionals within the governance arrangements for a Care Trust.
226.Subsection (9) explains that the designation of a PCT or a NHS trust as a Care Trust will not affect its functions, rights or liabilities as a PCT or NHS trust.
227.Subsection (10) provides that where an NHS body is to exercise social services functions as a Care Trust, it must act in accordance with directions and guidance from the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales under certain powers relating to social services functions.
Sections 46 and 47: Directed partnership arrangements and further provisions about directions in connection with such arrangements and Care Trusts.
228.Section 46 provides a power for the Secretary of State or National Assembly for Wales to require local authorities and NHS bodies to enter into partnership arrangements and/or pooled funding arrangements.
229.Subsection (1) provides the power for the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to direct local authorities and NHS bodies to enter into delegation arrangements or pooled fund arrangements. The details of the arrangements are to be specified in the direction. Subsection (1)(a) limits the use of this power to circumstances where a local authority or NHS body is failing to deliver its functions adequately, and subsection (1)(b) further limits the use of the power to circumstances where the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales is of the opinion that a delegation or pooled fund arrangement would be likely to improve the delivery of the failing function .
230.Subsection (2) provides that the directed partnership arrangements may cover not only the function which is being delivered inadequately but also other functions exercised by the same body where this would be likely to contribute to an improvement in the delivery of the failing function.
231.Subsection (3) sets out that the power to direct bodies to enter into delegation or pooled fund arrangements applies to NHS bodies and local authorities. In the case of local authorities, these powers can only be triggered by a failure to perform their social services functions adequately. As far as the NHS is concerned, the powers of direction relate to functions prescribed for the purposes of partnership arrangements under section 31 of the Health Act 1999 (see the NHS Bodies and Local Authorities Partnership Arrangements Regulations 2000, SI 2000/617).
232.Subsection (4) makes it clear that an improvement in the way in which a function is exercised includes improvement of services to individuals.
233.Section 47 contains further provisions relating to the Secretary of State's and the National Assembly for Wales' powers to give directions given under sections 45 and 46. Subsection (1) enables directions under section 46 to deal with matters which are required to be dealt with by virtue of regulations made under section 31 of the Health Act 1999. The partnership arrangements authorised by the Health Act 1999 are first, pooled fund arrangements, whereby NHS bodies and local authorities contribute to a communal pot so that the money is neither health nor local authority money and is used to purchase integrated services; secondly, arrangements whereby a local authority can delegate its health-related functions to an NHS body; and thirdly, arrangements whereby an NHS body can delegate its functions to a local authority. Subsection (3) makes it possible for the Secretary of State and the National Assembly for Wales to issue directions to other NHS bodies and local authorities in connection with the principal direction.
234.Subsection (4) makes it possible for the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales to give directions requiring bodies to take such steps as are appropriate to enable a decision to be made about whether a direction under section 46 should be made.
235.Subsections (5) and (6) make it clear that directions have to be given in writing, that they can be revoked by further directions and that they must be adhered to.
236.Subsection (7) provides that where a direction is revoked any arrangements required by the direction may continue.
Section 48: Transfer of staff in connection with partnership arrangements
237.Section 48 inserts into the Health Act 1999 a new Schedule 2A, set out as schedule 4 to this Act. The new Schedule makes provision for the transfer of staff where any functions of a body are to be exercised by another body under section 31 of the Health Act (including where Care Trusts are established under section 45 of this Act). The Schedule enables staff transfer orders to be made which make the same provision as the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations 1981 (S.I. 1981/1794) ("the TUPE Regulations"). This is necessary because there is some doubt as whether the TUPE Regulations apply to transfers of functions in the public sector. Currently the TUPE Regulations exclude pensions, although the Acquired Rights Directive (which the TUPE Regulations implement) has just been amended to enable Member States to include pension provision. Orders under the new Schedule include the transfer of pension provision except in so far as the Order makes provision under paragraph 4 of the Schedule. This is so that the flexibility for Member States to make provision about pensions where the Acquired Rights Directive applies is also available in the case of staff transfers arising from partnership arrangements under section 31 of the 1999Act.

New Holland, PA (August 27, 2010) -
"Our new Boomer compact tractors focus on three key factors: visibility, ease of use and serviceability," says Rural Lifestyle Marketing Manager Ken Hough. "They have the durability, comfort, and productivity features customers tell us they want in a compact tractor, at a very competitive price."
New Holland Boomer tractors are designed with a sloped hood for outstanding visibility. Visibility is further enhanced by an industry-leading lighting package that illuminates both the front and side for safer, more productive work when operating in the low light conditions encountered early or late in the day.
The new Boomers are powered by quiet, durable, fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines that provide plenty of smooth power for loading, digging, mowing, blowing snow and much more. A dual-pump, high-capacity hydraulic system with an electro-hydraulic engaged independent PTO ensures fast implement and steering response. In addition to the rear PTO, a mid PTO for mid-mount mowers is also available.
The new Boomers are available with a choice of a smooth, synchronized gear transmission or a three-range hydrostatic transmission with two-pedal actuation. The smaller Boomer 30 and 35 models, 28 hp and 38 hp respectively, are available with a12 x12 synchronized shuttle shift (SSS) transmission while the larger Boomer 40 and 50 models, 41 hp and 47 hp respectively, are equipped with a 16 x16 SSS transmission. The synchronized shuttle shift transmission (SSS) make change of direction or speed easy because there's no need to come to a complete stop when shuttling or changing gears, a real plus for fast, efficient front-end loader work.
Boomer tractors are easy to operate with, labeled controls that are ergonomically positioned. The flat deck has plenty of legroom, as well as a comfortable, adjustable high-back seat and tilt steering column. For ease of maintenance, the one-piece hood lifts on a gas strut for quick access to routine maintenance areas.

Education Experts Say Cuomo's Budget Not Enough
Education advocates say New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to spend 4.4 percent more on schools in the next fiscal year falls short of what's needed.
The Alliance for Quality Education says Wednesday the state is still far behind what it's obligated to pay under a landmark school funding court ruling six years ago.
The group foresees another round of difficult program and staffing cuts by schools.
The New York State United Teachers Union says the proposal builds on positive education initiatives, but the increase doesn't make up for past cuts or money lost under the new property tax cap.
And the Council of School Superintendents and the School Boards Association warn against too much reliance on making districts compete for funding for new programs.

Standouts in preserving cultural resources were presented with 2016 Indiana Historic Preservation Awards at Preserving Historic Places: Indiana's Statewide Preservation Conference in Vincennes this past April.
The Indiana Historic Preservation Award for Outstanding HPF Grant Rehabilitation project was presented to the Lew Wallace Study Preservation Society for the rewiring and restoration of the original lighting in the Lew Wallace Study National Historic Landmark (Montgomery County).
The Indiana Historic Preservation Award for Outstanding Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit project was presented to Housing Partnerships, Inc., Historic Greensburg Square LP, and Flaherty & Collins for their rehabilitation of Seitz House Hotel Apartments in Greensburg (Decatur County).

The Indiana Archaeology Award was present to Amy Favret as Principal Investigator for her excellent coordination and communication throughout the course of a complex, and unique, archaeological project, the IndyGo Downtown Transit Center, City of Indianapolis (Marion County).
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) helps strengthen Indiana's historical and cultural heritage through annual federal grants it administers to local communities and not-for-profit groups that these organizations put toward preservation projects. This year, the DNR Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology has awarded ten federal grants for historic preservation and archaeology in Indiana communities (see list below). The grants, totaling $375,293, provide a match of $360,718 in local and private funds, for a total projected investment of $736,011.
The funds come from the National Park Service, a part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, which distributes federal funds to the states through the Historic Preservation Fund Program. Since 1974, the state has awarded more than $18 million to Indiana communities through this program.
Benton County: Ball State University's Department of Anthropology received a $49,972 grant to conduct an archaeological survey in Benton County. The focus of this investigation will be 900 acres in the seven central and southern townships of Benton County (Parish Grove, Center, Pine, Hickory Grove, Grant, Oak Grove, and Bolivar).
Fort Wayne: The City of Fort Wayne received a $6,891 grant to prepare a National Register nomination for the Lakeside Historic District, and also to design and print of brochures for downtown historic properties in Fort Wayne. The Lakeside Historic District is a residential neighborhood located east of downtown Fort Wayne. It was platted in 1890 by the Fort Wayne Land and Improvement Company in a peninsula at the junction of the St. Joseph, Maumee, and St. Mary's Rivers. There are approximately 460 contributing resources in the district that were built between 1890 and 1920 and represent styles including Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and American Foursquare. In addition, a brochure will be designed and printed to highlight the historic resources scattered through the central downtown area. It will contain a general history of Fort Wayne, offer a locator map, and highlight approximately 45 properties with histories and photos. The brochure will also function as a tour guide for the central downtown. The brochure is part of an ongoing series created by the City to promote historic areas and historic preservation.
Greencastle: The Heritage Preservation Society of Putnam County received a $50,000 grant to assist with the stabilization and restoration of the Putnam County Civil War Soldier's Monument, which was dedicated in July 1870, just five years after the conclusion of the war. This 29-foot-tall monument is located in Forest Hill Cemetery and was designed and sculpted by Thomas Dow Jones. The monument consists of three vertical sections: the top is the statue of a seated soldier, the middle section is a cylindrical shaft or pedestal consisting of eight courses of sandstone blocks, and the bottom section is a decorative base. The five lower courses of the pedestal consist of 40 rusticated blocks that bear the names of the 321 soldiers from Putnam County who were killed in the war. Extensive spalling of the faces of the stone blocks has begun to render many of the carved names unreadable. Elements of the original statuary have also been lost including the rifle, primer box, and bayonet. These elements will be replicated and replaced. The shaft of the monument requires the most attention: at least 26 of the 40 rusticated blocks will need to be replaced and names on those sections will be re-engraved.
Greenwood: The City of Greenwood will receive a $4,750 grant to prepare a National Register nomination for the identified Greenwood Historic District. This district includes approximately 300 contributing resources, most of which are residential and date from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. The district is included on the DHPA's priority list within the Architectural & Historical priorities in order to encourage more National Register listings in counties that are otherwise under-represented within the National Register. The residential district nomination will complement the existing Greenwood Commercial Historic District. The City is currently investing in the revitalization of the downtown historic district. By listing the Greenwood Residential Historic District, Greenwood will have another tool to promote economic revitalization within the area and continue to strengthen historic preservation efforts city-wide.
Indianapolis: The Indiana Medical History Museum received a $47,400 grant to assist in the exterior rehabilitation of the Old Pathology Building at the Central State Hospital complex, which now houses the Indiana Medical History Museum. Built in 1896, it was a state of the art medical research and teaching facility, and was in use until 1968. It is owned by the City of Indianapolis, but the Indiana Medical History Museum occupies the building under a 99-year lease, and uses the building's features, furnishings, and collections to interpret the history of medicine and medical research to many visitors, including doctors and medical students, each year. The scope of work for the grant proposes to stabilize the south and west elevations of the Old Pathology Building, repointing up to 50% of the masonry and replacing damaged bricks as needed. A great deal of water infiltration has caused significant damage to the interior structure and finishes.
Madison: Historic Madison, Inc. received a $50,000 grant to assist with restoration and rehabilitation of the iron fence and its stone base surrounding the Shrewsbury-Windle House in Madison. The property is a National Historic Landmark (NHL) that was designed by architect Francis Costigan and built by Charles Shrewsbury in 1849. The house is built on the northern quarter of a 129' by 326' lot and constructed with pink brick with stone and wrought iron balconies and elaborate cornice work. A significant exterior feature is the ornate iron fencing mounted on massive sandstone blocks believed to have been designed by Costigan, and likely the last remaining iron fence attributed to him.
Newton County: Ball State University's Department of Anthropology received a $49,972 grant to conduct a Phase I pedestrian survey of approximately 450 acres in central Newton County, in the two central townships (Beaver and Jackson), and an additional 450 acres targeting under-represented ecological communities elsewhere in the County. Specifically the project is intended to add to the understanding of the various prehistoric cultural periods of the county and of the Euro-American presence and Native American interaction.
Peru: The Miami of Indiana received a $40,000 grant to replace the roof on two portions of the Miami of Indiana's Tribal Complex. The campus consists of three buildings that were initially built as part of the City of Peru's schools. The central grade school was built in 1922, the industrial arts building in 1926, and the high school in 1939. The high school building includes the Tig-Arena, an octagonal shaped gymnasium with a wooden basketball floor and stone bleacher seats. The arena is the building most used by the tribe. The roof over the arena and classrooms is deteriorating. Leaks are evident along the points where the roof and walls meet, and also on the main portions of the roof as well. Water is leaking into the gym and creating problems in the lower level where the tribe stores archival materials and information. The scope of work includes removing the current roofing, inspecting the decking and support system and making any needed repairs, and installing a rubber membrane roof over the classroom section and the gymnasium.
Tippecanoe County: The University of Southern Indiana received a $26,308 grant to conduct non-invasive geophysical archaeological survey (magnetometry and soil resistivity) and more precise mapping of the numerous Native American villages that once surrounded Fort Ouiatenon on the Wabash River in Tippecanoe County. The project will target six Native American village sites to the north and east of the fort location for resistivity survey, and is designed to provide baseline data regarding the location and presence/absence of intact subsurface remains. Although the life within the Fort has been extensively investigated, there has been little attention paid to the Wea, Kickapoo, and Mascouten residents in the area.
Vincennes: The City of Vincennes received a $50,000 grant assist with window and masonry rehabilitation of the Vincennes Police Department building. The department is housed in the former United States Post Office building, built in 1907 and expanded in 1936. It is an ornate neo-classical revival style building with an Indiana limestone façade. The City purchased the building in 2000 and the police department has occupied it since. The proposed scope of work includes rehabilitating the 15 large double-hung wood windows and 20 smaller windows. Although maintenance was done in 1983, it only included repainting and reglazing but no substantial wood work or other repairs.
Starting in late 2016 or early 2017, the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) is making some key changes to its electronic survey program. At that point, all new surveys undertaken by the DHPA will only be documenting Outstanding and Notable rated properties in addition to every property in identified historic districts, all bridges, and all cemeteries. Contributing rated resources outside of those categories will not be surveyed.
After conducting electronic survey for almost eight years in rural, mid-size, and densely populated counties, the DHPA concluded that the current standard of surveying everything 40 years old or older that has reasonable integrity is not sustainable.
Based on the old survey approach and using previous survey statistics, the Marion County (Indianapolis) survey estimates are that DHPA would survey at least 79,972 sites and spend 3465.28 weeks (66.64 years) at a cost of $2,159,244 to survey all of the sites within the county. Therefore the new approach is being implemented at this time to allow for more precise planning in anticipation of an upcoming Marion County resurvey.
DHPA is federally mandated to update survey information based on the shifting 40-year cut-off. In order to continue Phase II of the comprehensive statewide survey program in a timely manner, this change in approach in necessary. The process will be streamlined and the program will reach counties faster than the previous 30-year cycle of Phase I. For questions or comments about the changes to the program, please contact Amy Borland at email@example.com or 317/ 232-1647.
From January, 2016, through April, 2016, Indiana added 6 listings to the National Register of Historic Places. These listings—houses, libraries, a Masonic lodge, and an archaeological site—have added approximately 6 historic resources to the National Register. Click here to see the complete list.
The annual Historic Preservation month photo contest was a great success. With over 75 entries, it was one of our largest year. The winners this year are:
Rachael Ackley—Most Artistic (St Mary's in Huntington)
Melanie Campbell—Best Overall Resource (Barn in winter)
Norberto V. Nunes—Best Overall Photo (Brown County Observation Tower)
The DHPA has already begun to receive information about events which will be held during Indiana Archaeology Month, September 2016! If your organization is planning on hosting an event, please complete and submit the form so that your event information will be included in the official Calendar of Events.
Volume 11, Number 1 of the journal Indiana Archaeology has been completed and is available on the DHPA website. This volume contains interesting articles on a variety of archaeological topics:
Per state statute (Indiana Code 14-21-1-12), one of the duties of the DHPA is to develop a program of archaeological research and development, including the publication of information regarding archaeological resources in the state. This journal is one of the ways the DHPA continues to address that mandate.
Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) grant proposals in the Architectural & Historical (A&H) category that seek to prepare nominations for National Register Historic Districts may require pre-verification of eligibility. To learn more visit the National Register process.
In early August, the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology will have Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) grant application packets available for FY2017 at the DHPA website: http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/3671.htm#hpf.
There are three categories of projects: Architectural & Historical, Archaeological, and Acquisition & Development (rehabilitation).

Families who lost everything in fires offered 'chance to start again'
- From: news.com.au
- January 09, 2013
- Tasmanian artist offers her home to fire victims
- More than 300 people received emergency housing
Phone 1800 567 567 for support services in Tasmania
IMAGINE losing your home, your belongings and your memories in a devastating bushfire.
Then imagine being given the chance to recuperate on an idyllic country property with animals, an organic garden with a pond and 1.2 acres to roam.
Among the offers of help for those left devastated by the Tasmanian bushfires, artist and pensioner Sarah King, 66, has offered to share her farm house for as long as it takes a family to rebuild their own home.
Prompted by her own experiences of homelessness and a desire to share her beautiful home, Ms King said she had opened her house to strangers many times over the past 18 years, and said all she wanted was to offer a chance at happiness.
"I've been struggling to keep my head above water my whole life, but my garden is beautiful, my house is a home and it's there for someone who needs it," Ms King said.
"I don't mind sharing my things."
Ms King said she had spent time living in her car while studying in Hobart, and knew what it was like to be homeless.
"What I want to offer is a chance to start again," she said.
"I have been homeless, and I will accept anyone as they are, as long as they accept me as I am."
She said her home had room for possibly a family with small children, as well as an elderly couple or single in another room. She also has plenty of room for camping on her property, which is close to the local school.
Ms King said that if her guests needed to stay longer and she was happy with the situation, they would be welcome to stay while she travelled overseas to spend time with her fiancé for several months.
"Some people might just need three months for respite, but because I'm going away, if it's working out they'll have seven months of privacy," she said.
"I would like this to be a starting place for people – it's just somebody offering their beautiful home to share, a wonderful life in the country that is really healthy, the warmth of a home and this country life."
Ms King's generous offer has already been shared by almost 50,000 Facebook users, where she posted her offer in a group dedicated to helping fire victims, Tassie Fires - We Can Help.
Ms King has registered her home with the Tasmanian Government as emergency housing.
Tasmanian Human Services Minister Cassy O'Connor said in a statement that more than 300 people had already received emergency housing.
"The level of community support for those who have either lost their homes or have been displaced by the fires is truly inspiring, and a reminder to us all what a generous and resilient people Tasmanians are," she said.
A government spokesperson said that Housing Tasmania has met demand for emergency accommodation at the moment. They advise people interested in helping out to keep checking their website for updates.
For more information on the fire situation and support services in Tasmania, contact 1800 567 567.
Up-to-date information on the fires can also be found at the Tasmania Fire Service website.
Information on grants and other support available to those affected by fires can be found at www.dpac.tas.gov.au/bushfires

7 years of blogging at RennyBA's Terella
Happy blogaversary to Terella.no! As many of you may remember from previous years, my adventure with blogging started out as an experiment. I was lecturing a class in "Technology Business and the Society" at the Norwegian School of Management and among the topics was a new phenomenon; Blogging. Considering myself a network evangelist, the concept fascinated me and I decided to try starting my own blog. After a short time I was addicted as it seems blogging filled several needs in my personal interests. It filled my need to be social and meet new people, it fulfilled my interest in networking, my passion for technology, and last but not least it enhanced my enthusiasm for photography providing a place to share my interests with people from all around the world.
Blogging connecting people:
Over the years I have experienced many new and interesting things because of my blog. I have met new people who over the years have become good friends to me. I now have friends all over the world, and have both visited other bloggers and had many visitors in my homeland because of our connection through blogging.
Oslo Blog Gathering in 2010 is a good example of how blogging has brought myself and others together. Not only did I get the opportunity to meet many of my readers face to face, but many of those who started reading my blog have become friends with each other have built new friendships and new networks out from people they met in Oslo.
Living the good life through blogging:
In recent years living a good life – or as the Italians say "La Dolce Vita" has become more and more important to me! When I came down with Parkinson's disease a few years ago I had to learn to slow down and give more focus to enjoying life. I quickly experienced that blogging also enhanced my personal enjoyment and quality time with my wife DianeCA. Diane shares my interest in photography and social media, and together our quality time together grows when we share it with others.
We both enjoy photo hunting and trying to capture the magic of the day, the season or the moment. We often enjoy what we are doing that much more while we are imprinting a memory that we will later share with others. We have also traveled around Europe over the last few years and met up with some of our blogging friends. Almost anywhere we wish to travel we already know someone we can contact in that land.
Expanding to other social media – a bonus not a replacement:
In the past couple of years some of the time I used to spend blogging has gone over to new forms for Social Media such as Twitter, Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. I don't see these things so much as a competition to my blog as an enhancement. I use them to keep in daily contact with friends from the blogsphere – and while I may blog less often than I did in the beginning, I like to keep my theme – Norway and the Nordic countries; our culture, traditions and habits while keeping the quality of my posts at a high level. I feel it is more important that the reader learn something interesting from my posts then that they follow my daily movements.

Congratulations! I'm a little late to the party but I wanted to stop by and wish you well. I began blogging in 2007 and I love it. I also like Facebook. I've reconnected with many friends from years ago, stay in touch with my relatives in Norway and even childhood friends. And I love the new friends I've made through social media.
Hey Renny! Congratulations on seven years of blogging. I've not been here for awhile, but it looks like I chose a good time to come back so I could join in the celebration! I've always enjoyed your blog.

Water is again flowing into the Goodale Park pond.
The question is, will it leak back out?
The city began filling the pond on Monday when workers stretched 1,000 feet of hose from a fire hydrant on Goodale Avenue.
City officials, residents and wedding planners are keeping their fingers crossed. A leak kept the pond empty for most of last year.
The pond was drained last year so that the Friends of Goodale Park could install a fountain and sculpture of two elephants. That work was to be finished last June, but it wasn't.
In August, the city refunded $2,400 to six bridal parties that had reserved the park's gazebo. The Friends of Goodale Park paid a wedding planner to design drapes and ferns to block the construction area from the gazebo.
When the construction was finished, city firefighters pumped more than 4 million gallons of water over three days into the pond, but the water slowly disappeared. No one, however, could find the source of the leak.
The city paid a contractor $144,600 to put down bentonite, a clay that expands when wet, to fix the problem. The company also repaired walls around the pond.
In anticipation of the refilling of the pond, the city has 19 weddings booked at the gazebo between April 28 and Oct. 13, said Terri Leist, assistant recreation and parks director.
Yesterday, visitors flocked to the park to watch the water fill the pond.
"I'm a big fan of Goodale Park. I'm hoping this is coming to a conclusion," Dominic Cavello said.
Jack Pine, who was walking his black Labrador retriever near the pond's edge, said the empty pond has been an eyesore.
"Of course it's been frustrating," said Pine, who has a glass- blowing studio on E. 5th Avenue.
The city plans to halt its pumping today to check the water level's stability, and then complete the filling on Thursday.

Researchers at NCSU use a magnet to better track a football in motion. Dr. Steve McKeand is the 2016 recipient of the Holshouser Award for Excellence in Public Service. Restaurateur Sammy Boyd works to make "local catch only" a workable restaurant model. And a WWII veteran looks back on Pearl Harbor 75 years later.
Decreasing supplies and increasing costs for serving fresh North Carolina seafood; along with the lure of cheaper, imported product; are presenting challenges to North Carolina's seafood restaurateurs. But a few, like Morehead City's Sammy Boyd, are carving out a niche for themselves by committing to serving local catch only.
December 7, 1941 is one date that has been remembered by Americans for 75 years now. For one North Carolinian Veteran who was on board a ship in Pearl Harbor on that historic day, it is more than just a date on a calendar or a mention in a history book. Jeff Smith sits down with Tom Shook who grew up in Valley Cruscis, NC and lives in Winston Salem now as he reflects on that historic day.
Asheville's Highland Brewing Company is one of the oldest native breweries in the NC. Johnson's Peaches has been producing fruit for more than 60 years in Candor. Counter Culture Coffee in Durham is one of the largest coffee roasters in the US. Bitty & Beau's Coffee Shop in Wilmington has drawn national attention. Plus Kings Restaurant in Kinston is still serving up southern comfort food.
Black Wall Street creates conversations around diversity, technology, & entrepreneurship. The Duke Marine Lab is the first facility approved by the FAA to use drones in marine research. Fishermen & foodies alike are focusing on the potential market for "cape shark." Amy Murphy takes community service to the streets, literally, serving breakfast weekly for her "friends who live outside."
Black Wall Street (BWS) celebrates innovation and entrepreneurship within diverse, multicultural communities. Created in honor and as an extension of what was built during the heyday of Durham, NC's Parrish Street, BWS creates conversations and promotes thought leadership around diversity, technology and entrepreneurship. BWS is the remix. Same vision. New day.
"Spiny Dogfish" – also known as "Cape Shark" - are abundant in North Carolina's fall & winter coastal waters. They're now shipped to Massachusetts for processing, then exported…mostly for fish & chips. But could they be filleted, flash frozen & exported directly from here - & is there an appetite and a market for local consumption, as well?
A pair of Carteret County oystermen have invented a special foundation material that speeds the collection & growth of wild oysters. 300 years of weather records are aiding researchers to predict future weather trends. Twin brothers Will & Zach Jackson manage their health while performing at a high level on the football team. A special program provides solace to disabled veterans.
A pair of Carteret county oystermen have invented a special foundation material that speeds the collection and growth of wild oysters in sounds and rivers. Their method is not only an alternate method of producing so-called "seed" oysters for aquaculture but also has implications for restoring wild oyster reefs and marine habitat to form "living shorelines."
For several years, Operation North State has held fishing festivals across NC. The events provide an opportunity for disabled veterans to enjoy the great outdoors with other veterans. The fresh air & fellowship act as a form of therapy, the fishing is fun, but secondary.
Researchers are studying spider silk with the goal of developing a more durable material to use in making protective gear for soldiers. Coastal residents work to make a living harvesting oysters. A Wilson man uses reclaimed wood to make beautiful snare drums. And a Reidsville man turns his hand to carving traditional wooden bowls.
NC's once plentiful stock of wild oysters has been depleted by as much as 95% during the last century. Wild oysters are making a comeback, but demand for NC oysters far outstrips supply.

Santa Claus was in my neighborhood yesterday. Before you roll your eyes and think I've had one eggnog too many, let me explain. I was out in my yard putting up Christmas lights when a white SUV pulled up in front of the house across the street. When I saw the occupant of the vehicle, I did a double take! It was Santa. Say what you want, but to anyone who knows anything about Christmas, this guy was the real deal. He had a white beard, a rather copious amount of white hair, and was wearing wire-rimmed spectacles. On this day, Santa wore a long-sleeved red undershirt with matching suspenders, but when he opened the door to his car, I could see that his traditional red, fur-trimmed suit and matching hat was lying on the seat. Now, since Santa Claus doesn't show up my neighborhood very often (ok, basically never) this jolly ol' elf definitely had my attention. What was going on? Within moments a woman from the other end of the street came bustling down the street to have what appeared to be a rather clandestine meeting with the old guy as they went over what seemed to be a list. Within minutes it was evident what was happening, and I had to smile. A children's Christmas party was at full throttle down the street, and ol' Kris Kringle was about to pay the little ones in attendance a surprise visit. This extraordinary fella wasn't THE Santa Claus at all - even though he could have fooled me, and indeed most anyone else. Although this pudgy and jovial gentleman looked an awful lot like the real deal, clearly this man was just another imposter. This guy was one of the thousands of Santa Claus impersonators that are out adding extra joy to the holidays during the Christmas season.
Retailers have been successfully using Santa impersonators as part of Christmas marketing strategy for well over a hundred years. Many years ago, an artist named Thomas Nast came up with the whole modern day concept of Santa Claus and his image as he is widely perceived today. Thomas Nast's drawings of Santa Claus were featured in 1862 in Harper's Bazaar magazine. In Thomas Nast's legendary illustrations, for the first time Santa was depicted as rather chubby, jolly, fully bearded, and wearing a bright red fur suit. In 1890, a merchant named James Edgar decided that dressing up as the beloved Kris Kringle might bring more business to his store. A Christmas tradition was born! For many generations afterward, retailers, shopping centers, shopping malls and many venues around the country have delighted children of all ages with their own hired Santa's. There's a good chance that even you have a planned outing to visit one of these characters over the holidays. Pictures are taken to capture the moment as children whisper their most heartfelt Christmas wishes into the old guy's ear. Whether he is "real" or not doesn't seem to matter--a visit to Santa has become an annual pilgrimage for the masses.
Regardless of where the roots of the real Santa Claus lie, there is no doubt that his status as one of the most legendary characters of Christmas is undeniable. If you are interested in upping your own Christmas game, creating your own "Santa" is very easy. With a proper Santa Claus style beard and a classic red Santa suit the transformation is complete. It's time to start practicing your best "ho, ho, ho!"

This blog post is by Noa Yachot, Communications Strategist for the National ACLU. It originally appeared on the ACLU's Blog of Rights.
After The Guardian and The Washington Post revealed the astonishing scope of some of the NSA's surveillance activities, some people claimed that Americans wouldn't care. But Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone doesn't accept that.
On Wednesday, June 25, Governor Sandoval signed a bill requiring the DNA collection and testing of all individuals arrested for a felony in Nevada. Today, in a case from Maryland, the United States Supreme Court ruled that DNA testing of arrestees is constitutional. Nevada's new law is much broader than the scheme in Maryland examined by the court. Nevada's law requires DNA testing for any person arrested for a felony, but Maryland's is limited to violent felonies. Similarly, Nevada's law does not prohibit familial searching and does not require automatic expungement of DNA records if an individual is not convicted of a crime. Maryland's law prohibits familiar searching and also requires automatic expungement of records. There are two known cases in Nevada where mistakes made in DNA testing by crime labs resulted in the conviction of innocent people. The ACLU of Nevada will closely monitor the implementation of this law while reviewing whether it meets the new constitutional bar.
Today is National DNA Day, which commemorates the anniversaries of the discovery of the double helix in 1953 and the completion of the National Genome Project in 2003. It is a day to celebrate and learn more about the marvels and technological advances in DNA. DNA analysis reveals a "treasure-trove" of information about an individual's medical and personal history and therefore is not simply a method of identification, like a fingerprint.
RENO, NV – The entire Northern Nevada community is invited to an eye-opening Reno event, the (Un)Civil Liberties Art Show, combining civil liberties with the arts to highlight the necessity of protecting our constitutional rights and liberties, and specifically focusing on fighting the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
The event, sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and local artist and art teacher Erik Holland, is at 5-8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 25, at Rainshadow Charter High School, 121 Vesta Street. It is free and open to the public.
Last week, the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a two-year bipartisan report of 141 pages concluding that the 70 state and local intelligence "fusion centers" have not produced significant, useful information to support federal counterterrorism intelligence efforts.
LAS VEGAS, NV – Several law enforcement agencies in Nevada have responded to the request by the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada for documents related to the acquisition and use of automatic license plate readers (ALPR) that can be used for important purposes, such catching a fleeing suspect, to tracking and recording the movements of huge numbers of innocent Americans going about their daily business.
The Henderson, Nevada, Police Department implemented automated license plate recognition (ALPR) in three patrol cars in May 2011 and the next month bragged that a stolen vehicle had been spotted and its driver arrested through use of the technology—which cost $160,000 to be installed in nine cars. Impressive technology, right? (Although it should be, with that pricetag!)
NEW YORK –American Civil Liberties Union affiliates in 35 states, including the ACLU of Nevada, sent requests today to local police departments and state agencies that demand information on how they use automatic license plate readers (ALPR) to track and record Americans' movements.
How do you feel about your DNA being collected and stored before ever being convicted of a crime? Some states have adopted a version of this policy, where the government collects DNA samples after every arrest. Thankfully, Nevada is not one of those states – yet. The ACLU of Nevada has helped fight off automatic DNA collection after felony arrests in 2011, but it could resurface in the next legislative session.
The idea of police drones flying over Nevada has attracted a great deal of media and public attention over the past few weeks even though no drones are FAA-licensed for use in our state.

Satyr with a Wineskin
JE 6102 (CG 26752) Cairo Antiquities Museum
Material: Terracotta
Size: Height: 8.5 cm
Location: Delta Region
Period: Ptolemaic Dynasty (304-30 BC
Terracotta was used early in Egyptian history, and its use continued into the Greek and Roman periods. This statue depicts a nude male figure crouching on the ground, covered only in a cloak fastened around his neck. Though of Egyptian Greek origin, this statue bears little resemblance to classic Egyptian art. It may depict Aeolus, but this is debatable.
Photographer: Unknown

When The Shining was first published in 1977, it left an immediate and indelible impression. At once terrifying and intensely human, it set the standard for the modern horror novel, and remains as vital and affecting today as it was thirty-five years ago.
The story The Shining tells has assumed a permanent place in American popular culture. It is, first of all, the story of a family: Jack and Wendy Torrance and their extraordinarily gifted son, Danny. The Torrances are a family in crisis. They have come to the Overlook Hotel, a deluxe resort set in an isolated corner of the Colorado Rockies, to serve as winter caretakers and to recover from a series of bruising personal defeats. But, as they soon discover, the Overlook is more than a hotel. It is a malign, voracious entity with an extravagantly violent history, and it is determined to absorb the Torrance family—Danny in particular—into its dark heart.
The Shining is a novel in which all of the varied elements—scenes, setting, character—come triumphantly together. The Overlook Hotel, with its haunted rooms, elaborate traps, and twisted secrets, is one of the most compelling backdrops in all of horror fiction. And the Torrances, with their tragic flaws, hidden wounds, and profound, often frustrated love for one another, are as real and credible as the people we encounter in our everyday lives. The result is a novel with the narrative power and emotional resonance of a classic. It is, and will always be, a consummate example of the storyteller's art.
The Subterranean Press edition of The Shining will be printed in two colors throughout, with a projected 40+ interior illustrations by Gabriel Rodriguez, best known for his work on the acclaimed comic series, Locke & Key.
Lettered: 52 signed, specially bound copies, housed in a custom traycase, with an original remarque by Gabriel Rodriguez: $2500
Limited: 750 signed numbered copies, housed in a custom traycase: $450
Gift: 1500 unsigned cloth bound copies, housed in a custom slipcase: $95
