Subject: Re: [JENNINGS-L] William & Augustine Jennings
Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 19:13:16 EST
Dear Susan,
Hi. I am your distant cousin, Bellinda Myrick Barnett.
My 6th great grandparents were William Jennings, Jr., born: abt. 1695-1700,
died: 1733 and his wife, Ann ?, born: abt. 1695-1700, died: 1734.) (I do
not yet know Ann's last name.) He was a brother to your Augustine Jennings
and they were sons of my 7th great grandparents who were William Jennings,
Sr. and his wife, Mary Willoughby.
And the parents of William Jennings, Sr. were my 8th great grandparents, John
Jennings, born: abt. 1633 in England and emigrated to Old Rappahannock,
Virginia, and his wife,
Margaret Payne who thought by most to have been a daughter of Margaret
(Jennings?) Robinson, daughter of Richard Robinson, and John Payne.
My information shows that Augustine Jennings raised, at least, my 5th great
grandfather, Edward Salley Jennings, from the age of 15 years of age and
Edward Salley Jennings' sister and youngest child of Ann ? and Wiliam
Jennings, Jr., who was 5 years old at the time she was, also, bound out to
her uncle, Augustine Jennings. I thought I had the name of the 5 year old
and youngest daughter of Ann ? and William Jennings, Jr. but I am not finding
it and would like very much to have it.
I have seen information on a Sallee family that was related to this Jennings
line. I don't know if it is the same as the Salley in my Edward Salley
Jennings name or not. I have wondered if his mother's name might have been
Ann Sallee/Salley....but nothing to indicate it so far.
Edward Salley Jennings married Sarah More/Moore, born: ?? (and I am still
trying to find her family.) Their son, John Jennings, (fought in the
Revolutionary War,) married a Rachel ? (whose family I am looking for, as
well, and wondering if, perhaps, they might be named Bailey as my great,
great, great, grandfather, son of Rachel ? and John Jennings, was named
Bailey Jennings, born: abt. 1789 in Virginia. Bailey Jennings married Kitty
Earle in December, 1811 in Christian County, Kentucky.
Kitty Earle appears to be the daughter of Samuel Earle who descends from
several men named Samuel Noah Earle/Earles and Sir Richard Kane Earle.
Bailey Jennings second wife was named Sally (Sarah? with Sally nickname?)
Lee (what line does she descend from?)
The daughter of Bailey and Kitty Earle Jennings was my
great, great grandmother, Sarah 'Sallie/Sally' Jennings who married
Jerry/(poss. Jeremiah) Parker, born: 1795 in Maryland. I am still searching
for his family as well but it appears that they are probably descended from
the Elizabeth Barham and Drury Parker family.....there is also a Spencer and
Parker marriage back in that time that may or may not be part of this Barham
and Parker line that looks as if it may be Jerry's line....just not sure yet.
The son of Jerry Parker and Sarah 'Sallie' Jennings that was my
great grandfather was Spencer B. Parker. He married my
great grandmother, Rachael Moranda Lewis who was also known as Moranda
Coleman which, I think, was due to a stepfather named Coleman. Her
biological father was John Lewis, born: abt. 1820 in Jones Co., Mississippi,
son of Howell Lewis, born: abt. 1788 in Granville Co., North Carolina who was
descended from Charles Lewis and wife, Mary Howell, daughter of John Howell,
and, also, from the John Lewis referred to as John Lewis, the Emigrant, who
was the progenitor of the Warner Hall Lewis line.
My John Lewis, born: abt. 1820 in Jones Co., Mississippi, father of Rachael
Moranda Lewis, is shown in most information to have been married to Harriett
Ellzey in 1860 census and indicates that Moranda was abt. 9 or 10 years old
at the time which would indicate that she was older than Spencer Parker who
was her 2nd husband. At the time she married Spencer Parker she married him
under the name of Moranda Coleman as she did when she married her first
husband, Wesley Bright. In my direct family information I show that the
mother of Rachael Moranda Lewis was named
Carrie/Karrie Knight. But I have not been able to find yet whether
Carrie/Karrie Knight was the biological or step mother of Rachael Moranda
Lewis Coleman Bright Parker.
The above mentioned Harriett Ellzey.....that's a z as in x y z in case you
are not familiar with this font.....makes it a little hard to read....
but Harriett Ellzey appears to be the daughter of Evan Ellzey whose wife may
have been name Mary Lewis or Mary ?
The above mentioned Howell Lewis, father of John Lewis, married Nancy
Copeland, mother of John Lewis, and she was the daughter of Rachael Tucker
and Ripley Copeland, son of Dorothy Ripley and Nicholas Copeland, Jr., son of
Nicholas Copeland, Sr. and Nancy Lott, son of Joseph Copeland. I believe I
have that in correct order.....I have dates.....but just getting this off
Rachael Moranda Coleman Bright Parker and Wesley Bright had children Henry
Bright, Daisy Bright, Almeda 'Mead' Bright, Maggie Bright (Mangum.) Then
when Rachael Moranda married Spencer Parker they had children:
George Washington Parker, Ellis Neely Parker and twins,
Callie and Allie Artimissa Parker, my grandmother, born: August 11, 1892 near
Braxton, Simpson Co., Mississippi, who married James Martin Myrick, born:
1892 in Simpson Co., Mississippi, son of Harriet 'Hattie' Katherine
Herrington and Calvin Pierce Myrick, born: 1858 in Mississippi who were
actually 3rd cousins, once removed. Harriet Herrington was the daughter of
Rebecca Jane Dickson, born: abt. 1828 and Isom Daniel Herrington, born: 1828
in Covington Co., Mississippi, son of Harriet Stuckey, prob. daughter of
John Stuckey, and Harriet's husband, Enoch Herrington, born: abt. 1800 in
North Carolina, son of William Herrington, Sr., born: abt. 1755 in North
Carolina, son of Charles Herrington.
The abvoe mentioned Calvin Pierce Myrick, born: 1858 in Mississippi, was the
son of William H. Myrick, born: 1823-1827 in Mississippi, and wife, Phoebe
Catherine Herrington, born: abt. 1834-1836, and her parents were Cynthia
Grantham, born: 1800 in South Caorlina, (parents ??,) and William Herrington,
Jr., born: abt. 1794 in North Carolina, son of William Herrington, Sr., born:
abt. 1755 in North Carolina, son of Charles Herrington.
The above mentioned William H. Myrick, was the son of Elizabeth Pierce, born:
abt. 1790 in South Carolina, and
William Myrick, born: mid-late 1700's, (still looking to prove his parents.)
He, apparently, descends from the line from Owen Myrick and his descendants
two Francis Myrick men, father and son, who married two Carroll women,
Rebecca and Susannah.
My grandparents, Allie Parker and James Martin Myrick had 10 children
including my father, Billy Earle Myrick, born in Mississippi and moved to
Louisiana abt. 1930 and married my mother, Ethel LaVerne Slaughter who was
born in Louisiana and was the daughter of Louis Hector Slaughter, born: abt.
1870, in Louisiana and Ethel Rosalee Hatten (whose first husband was Joseph
Marion Womack.) Louis Hector Slaughter was married twice before this marriage
but I do not know their names. He was in his 60's when my mother was born.
He was the son of Clarissa 'Clara' Williams, born: abt. 1840, (daughter of
William Williams, born: abt. 1795 in Maryland, and Elizabeth Williams, born
in Ohio,) and Clarissa's husband, my great grandfather, Hudson/Hutson
H./(Harris?) Slaughter, born: 1844, son of Susan Crouch, born: abt. 1815,
died after childbirth in 1844, (dau of Sarah and Samuel Crouch, born: abt.
1785 in North Carolina,) and Susan's husband, John M. Slaughter, born: abt.
1795 in North Carolina, son of Mary McDonald and her husband,
Owen Slaughter, Jr., son of Elizabeth (Bolton?) and husband,
Owen Slaughter, Sr., son of William Slaughter, son of Edward Slaughter, son
of William Slaughter, son of John Slaughter.
The above mentioned Ethel Rosalee Hatten was the daughter of
Rodella 'Della' Jones, dau of Martha Ann Caroline McCarty, born: in
Mississippi, and her husband, William Tunley Jones, born: November 02, 1928,
son of Alford Jones.
Martha Ann Caroline McCarty, born: December 05, 1833, was the daughter of
Nancy Spoldy/Simot? and Hiram McCarty, who descends from Michael McCarty,
born: abt. 1728 in County Cork, Ireland and his son, Michael McCarty, who
fought in the Revolutionary War.
Ethel Rosalee Hatten's father and the husband of my great grandmother,
Rodella 'Della' Jones was Cicero Lamkin Hatten who was the son of Frances
Elizabeth Grisham, born: abt. 1840, daughter of Elizabeth Ann Ford, born:
1821, (daughter of Henry Ford and Mary Buckles,) and Elizabeth Ford's
husband, my great great grandfather, Jehu Madison Grisham, born: 1815 in
Mississippi, who descends from Jehu Grisham who was born in Ireland in the
mid-1700's and emigrated to America.
The above mentioned Cicero Lamkin Hatten's father and husband of Frances
Elizabeth Grisham was Lawrence M. Hatten, born: 1833 and died: 1865 as a
P.O.W. at Union Camp Chase in Ohio, he was a Confederate soldier in the Civil
War who, after fighting in the Battle of Franklin, was wounded in the Battle
of Nashville, where he was captured and taken prisoner of war never to return
Lawrence M. Hatten was the son of William Hatten, born:1800 in North
Carolina and Frances Lucretia 'Patsy' Lott,
born: 1800 in Alabama, daughter of Absalom Lott, born: in the mid-1700's, son
of Elizabeth Joyner, born: 1724 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, (dau of John
Joyner and Elizabeth Brown, dau of John Brown,) and John Lott, born: abt.
1720, son of John Lott, born: abt. 1690 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, son of
Bridgeman Joyner, born: 1655 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, and Ann Harris
Mayo. Bridgeman Joyner was the son of
Thomas Joyner, born: 1619 in Bere Regis, Dorset, England, and his wife,
Elizabeth Robins and Thomas Joyner was the son of
Thomas Joyner, Sr., born: abt. 1595 in Bere Regis, Dorset, England.
The above mentioned Frances Lucretia Lott was the daughter of Absalom Lott
and Martha Jane Dorsey Lightfoot, born: abt. 1763, possibly in Virginia or
Antigua. Her father is said to be a wealthy English descendant in Virginia,
and appears to be descended from the Jane Jones and Reverend Richard
Lightfoot line out of England in the late 1500's and in their church at Stoke
Bruerne, Northamptonshire, England. This line married into the Corbin,
Armistead, Lee, and other lines including Worthington, Arundel, and,
possibly, Dorsey and Howard.
The Hatten line descends from John Hatton an original and surviving settler
at Jamestown and married into Lamkin, Underwood, Lewis and other.
I am in the process of trying to finally finish compiling a lot of this
information to get off to several of the Jennings cousins that have been
waiting for a few months....for the copies of Jennings and Allied Families
(Jennings portion) book with additions that I have on this line. I received
my initial major amount of Jennings information from Sammy Jennings in Spring
or Springhill, Louisiana....and then Caren Tidwell sent me my copy of the
Jennings and Allied Families Jennings portion of the book that I am
forwarding to five other cousins who then have a list I am forwarding for
others who are awaiting their copies. Ill health and such delayed it all
from being mailed earlier but I am up and running on it all now and hope to
have it out very shortly now.
If you are in need of further information on this line please send me your
address and I will mail it to you as soon as possible. I do have Family Tree
Maker 5.0 and am installing 7.0 shortly.....but have had several problems
with my computer......so I am in the process of copying files and getting
them all installed in a new laptop to get me back on course.....so that is
why I can't send a whole file right now.....having problems with attaching
files and eveyrthing at the moment.....but will be past it shortly.
Well, this is about as far as I have time to go right now but wanted to shoot
this off to you.
Please get in touch with me at either or

When the US Supreme Court decided last year to extend full First Amendment protections to video games, many likely thought that was the last word on potential legal assaults on the medium. That's not the case though, as an Oklahoma lawmaker has now proposed a special tax to be focused on "violent video games."
Democrat Will Fourkiller has introduced HB2696 (full text, RTF download link), proposing to add a one percent excise tax on all "violent video games." The text defines that term as "a video or computer game that has received a rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board of Teen, Mature or Adult[s] Only."

A study of the $6 billion Iraqi electrical restoration project finds it's foundering because of poor planning, poor administration and insurgent attacks.
A 14-page investigative report in IEEE Spectrum magazine -- written by the magazine's executive editor, Glenn Zorpette -- is based on a trip late last year to several Iraqi construction sites. It also centers on conversations with scores of people, including Iraqi Minister of Electricity Muhsin Shlash and other key Iraqi and U.S. officials, engineers and workers.
The magazine says the report is the first of its kind to be based on extensive interviews with engineers risking their lives to get Iraq's electrical systems working again in one of the largest and most dangerous reconstruction efforts in history.
Although engineers working for U.S. government contractors are generally prohibited from speaking to reporters, they talked with Zorpette on condition of anonymity.
Zorpette says their sometimes brutally candid comments paint a picture of an effort that was hobbled from the start by bad decisions and administration.
The investigative study is published in the February issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine.

Children with special needs can thrive at jewish summer camps
For a Jewish kid growing up in the outskirts of L.A. County, Jewish summer camps were very special to me. At Habonim Dror, a Labor Zionist camp, I picked up my first conversational Hebrew words. I learned how to study Jewish texts at the former Camp Swig in Northern California. And even though I'm tone-deaf, I still got a part in "Fiddler on the Roof" at Camp JCA Barton Flats. My husband had enjoyed three summers at Camp Ramah on the East Coast, and because we are fairly observant, it seemed the most natural thing to send our kids to overnight Jewish camps.
With our oldest daughter, Rachel, it was easy. At age 8, she first went to JCA Shalom for a weeklong introduction to overnight camp, and then for longer sessions to Camp Ramah in Ojai, where she was a camper and, later, a staff member. Her favorite day of the week was Shabbat, with its special foods, songs and dances.
But with our son, Danny, who has significant developmental and physical disabilities, it was a whole different situation. He has complicated medication regimens and needs help with everything from toileting to dressing. Where would he go to summer overnight camp? None of the Jewish camps except for Ramah even had a special-needs program listed on the Internet, and he wasn't old enough for their program.
We finally found a beautiful special-needs-only camp in Malibu operated by a local nonprofit, overlooking the ocean with its own swimming pool and ramps for the disabled. Two full-time nurses were there to deal with the complex medical needs of the campers, and counselors skilled in working with people with disabilities were recruited from around the world. The camp was, of course, not kosher, so we sent our own hot dogs and told them not to give Danny any other meat products. And, of course, there was no Shabbat. Danny did OK, although once or twice we almost had to go get him prematurely when he wouldn't take his meds. He asked for Mommy all the time.
When we went to pick up Danny from that special-needs camp, we were handed a "memory book" that had an inscription from one of his counselors: "Danny, you are an awesome dude. Yours in Christ, Scotty." Making things even worse, the director of the special needs camp told me a group of Jewish campers from a nearby Wilshire Boulevard camp had come to visit for a "mitzvah day" and had focused in on Danny because he was the only Jewish camper there.
The next year, I started an early conversation with Shalom Institute Executive Director Bill Kaplan at Camp JCA Shalom, and along with a few Jewish friends who had boys around the same age with different developmental disabilities, we collectively figured out a creative solution. Without any red tape, JCA Shalom would create a special-needs bunk, with an extra counselor plus a few one-on-one aides for campers such as Danny who needed more intensive assistance. The kids would be part of the bigger camp experience, but the schedule would be adjusted to take into account their sensory or other special needs. Typical campers would serve as buddies and hang out with our boys a few times a week.
Danny came back from one week at camp talking about Shabbat, music and the Israeli scouts. No one had to call us to say that he wouldn't take his meds. Clearly, the Jewish camps were a better match.
We wanted to have the kids together at Ramah, so we started conversations about Danny participating in their special-needs Tikvah program. Only one camper before Danny had come with his own aide, and we weren't sure how it would work for him to be away two whole weeks, longer than he had ever been away before.
Elana Naftalin-Kelman, director of the Tikvah program, came over to our house a few months before camp and took notes about all the details of his daily schedule and exactly what would be needed to ensure a great camping experience. With partial funding for the one-on-one aide from the state-funded Lanterman Regional Center, we were able to swing the costs financially.
That was five years ago, and this summer Danny stayed for a month with a wonderful aide. Although he still gets homesick the first few nights, he looks forward to camp all year long. His favorite place at camp is the pool, and he especially enjoys imitating the other boys in the tent early in the morning.
On the last day of camp, Rachel sat next to Danny on the bus. As they pulled out of the long driveway away from Camp Ramah, she reminded Danny that camp was all done for the summer and they were heading home. He started to cry.
With more Jewish camps opening their tents to campers who have special needs, it is well worth the extra time and effort to find a Jewish camp that can be a good match for your child or teen with special needs. The memories and rewarding experiences at camp last long after they've outgrown that tie-dyed camp T-shirt.

Munich, Germany (SPX) Dec 06, 2006
An international team of researchers from the USA and Germany has published an explanation for life in the Deep Biosphere in the magazine "Science". Using a bunch of the latest technologies from biogeochemistry, molecular biology and microbiology, the scientists collected a wide range of samples from the bottom of the sea. After intensive analysis, Bo B. Jorgensen and Steven D'Hondt have now published a model with which they explain that microorganisms might survive due to the natural radioactivity deep under the sea floor (Science, 10th November 2006).
It is estimated today that between 10 and 50 percent of all the biomass on the Earth is found deep below ground. Researchers working with Steven D'Hondt from the University of Rhode Island, USA, and Bo B. Jorgensen from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen have confirmed this in the course of the Ocean Drilling Program. On a voyage on the research ship "Joides Resolution" they found life up to 400 meters below the sea floor. Tests revealed that the drilled cores contained living microorganisms; contamination was ruled out.
In the upper layers of sediment, the researchers counted up to 100 million unicellular organisms per millilitre; deeper, in the 35 million year old sediments on the Earth's crust, they still found one million microorganisms. This is a puzzle for scientists: only the upper layers of these deposits are in contact with the water - so where does the energy to provide life in the depths of the sediment come from?
Taking as a basis the energy sources in the deposits that are available to the cells in the form of organic carbon compounds, it is possible to calculate that the cells could only divide every thousand years. This extremely long period for reproduction cannot be reconciled with current understanding of living cells.
Jorgensen and D'Hondt are now proposing, on the basis of their data, a process which could represent an alternative source of energy for life deep under large sections of the Pacific - natural radioactivity. Water is broken down by radioactive radiation, which arises during the decomposition of naturally occurring potassium, thorium and uranium isotopes.
This process (radiolysis) creates hydrogen and oxygen. Estimates of the energy balance show that this process can supply sufficient energy for the microorganisms. This would make life forms in the Deep Biosphere independent of the processes on the Earth's surface. The authors point out that an exotic habitat like this could also have developed on other planets, far away from any suns.
In December 2006 the researchers will be taking the drilling ship "RV Roger Revelle" to the South Pacific. There, far away from the continental shelves, the quantity of carbon compounds which could serve the microorganisms as a basis for life is very low. This makes the researchers all the more curious about the sediment samples from the bottom of the sea.

Pendulums, Predators And Prey: The Ecology Of Coupled Oscillations
Flint MI (SPX) Dec 06, 2006
Connect one pendulum to another with a spring, and in time the motions of the two swinging levers will become coordinated. This behavior of coupled oscillators---long a fascination of physicists and mathematicians---also can help biologists seeking to understand such questions as why some locations overflow with plants and animals while others are bereft, University of Michigan theoretical ecologist John Vandermeer maintains.

The Householders
YAMA, the third album from The Householders, further integrates the bands' ongoing fusion of catchy EDM, in your face hiphop and Indian devotional chant (known as Kirtan).
The new release is a confident fusion of soulful melodies and poignant lyrics from songstress Jaylen Green, no-holds-barred hip-hop from poet/rapper Zach Ketterhagen and original Kirtan chants by Nema Nyar. This fusion of East and West is dished up in a musical melting pot of electronica, soul, jazz and whatever else producers David Goddard and Phil Petrie are serving on the menu.
Yogis out there may notice the significance of the album's title. Indeed the first five tracks on YAMA are modern interpretations of these ancient Yogic disciplines, common to many spiritual paths: Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (walking in God consciousness) and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness).
Don't expect a gentle hand holding "kum ba yah" as the Householders sound would sit most comfortably next to Skrillex or Kanye West. These Yogis are presenting something honest that holds the seed of something transcendent for us all.
With a claim that "devotional music should be of it's time", The Householders music builds a bridge between ancient and modern, East and West, and ultimately is an expression of the bridge between our inner and outer world.
The Householders are:
Phil Petrie, Jaylen Green, David Goddard, Zach Ketterhagen and Nema Nyar

7 Reasons I'm Glad I Have A Weird Dad
Whenever Father's Day rolls around I'm reminded, once again, that I don't have a "typical" dad. He doesn't own a tie. He's never worked in an office. As far as I know he's never touched a golf club (except maybe to use it as a weapon?). My dad, in a nutshell, is weird. He spent his career taking care of research monkeys. He spent his spare time turning our house into a fortress and collecting skulls. With the exception of guinea pigs, he likes animals way more than he likes people (that's him in the picture, holding a water moccasin he caught in a Florida swamp). And guess what? He's the best dad I could ever ask for. Here's why…
1. He provided constant entertainment. My dad's strange interests and complete lack of self-consciousness make him endlessly entertaining. It wasn't uncommon to find him watching "Star Trek" in a Kevlar helmet or training a crow to eat out of his hand. One of my writing teachers, after reading a story about my dad building a high-powered canon from which to launch my grandmother's ashes, said, "No wonder you're a writer. You were raised by an amazing character."
2. He taught me about weird things. I don't know how to order at a nice restaurant or French braid my hair. I do know how to incapacitate an intruder, discuss the intricacies of dark matter, create a shiv out of a toothbrush, and survive the apocalypse. I can thank my dad for that.
3. He challenged me to live differently. My dad doesn't measure success in the ways that normal people do: money, social status, and traditional life milestones don't really mean anything to him. It's easy to get caught up in the things that society deems important; my dad's constant rejection of these things opened my mind and showed me how to forge my own path in the world.
4. He helped me understand different kinds of people. My dad is–how should I put this?–a bit socially awkward. He can stay contentedly silent for days at a time before launching into a random 3-hour lecture about the mating habits of whale sharks. Learning how to communicate with him has come in surprisingly handy. When I worked at National Geographic, the office was filled with men that reminded me of my dad: obsessive science-y types who could care less about social graces. Thanks to my experience with my dad, I felt totally comfortable with them and was able to have some really fascinating conversations about their lives and research.
5. He showed me how to embrace my own aesthetic. When I was in high school, I came home one afternoon and found that my dad had hung a cow pelvis on our living room wall. "Why did you do that?" I asked. "Because it's beautiful," he said. My dad taught me that when it comes to personal taste, you should not only think outside the box, you should function as if the box never existed.
6. He made me appreciate nerdy guys. I've never been interested in quarterbacks or investment bankers; instead, I've always been drawn to guys who are awkward, brainy, and a little neurotic. Obviously my dad was a good role model in this regard.
7. He gave me a crazy, weird, unforgettable childhood. And for that, I am eternally grateful. Hopefully one day I can be half as weird as my dad, because let's be honest: that whole "normal" thing is completely overrated.

st: 2SLS IV estimation CODE
Thu, 9 May 2013 17:47:40 -0400
So I've been all over the web, the Stata Journal, and a few Stata books and I still haven't been able to find any code useful for building a three-level random coefficients model that can take advantage of the two-stage least squares instrumental variables estimator or similar.
I'd very much appreciate the help of a Stata pro to help me construct such a model.
As previously stated, my data are repeated measures (maximum of five) of students nested within schools. The endogenous variable I'm instrumenting for is a binary indicator for whether (1) or not (0) parents exercised choice to send their child(ren) to a school outside the zoned area. Controls include typical factors like race, gender, and poverty status at level 2, and school type (regular public, school-within-a-school, school-wide magnet) at level 3.
level-1: intercept year
level-2: intercept black hispan frlunch poverty
level-3: intercept swas swp
Anyone? Anyone?
I'm also open to suggestions for other approaches or data setup that might work as well.

Before kiley was born, they did not realize they were both silent carriers of the gene that causes the condition.
The kiley has always informed my music—particularly my solo stuff, because I had a rock band.
There were no neighbours except at the township of kiley's Crossing, which consisted of two public-houses and a store.
All the flats along kiley's River were knee-deep in green grass.
Perhaps as fine a sight as can be seen in the whole circle of native sports is the killing cockatoos with the kiley, or boomerang.
He looked beyond all this to the long drab-coloured stretch of road that led to kiley's, watching for the mailboy's arrival.
One of them had a kiley, or boomerang, and each carried a rude hatchet of stone.
He went out and found in the yard one of the telegraph operators from kiley's, on a smoking horse.
By four in the afternoon they reached kiley's River, running yellow and froth-covered with melting snow.
I heard you was goin' to settle at kiley's Crossin', lending money to the cockatoos.

The government is considering using reserves from the fiscal 2013 budget to deal with the leaks of radioactive water at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 power plant, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Monday.
Suga said he has instructed industry minister Toshimitsu Motegi to pursue all possible measures to deal with the leaks, including the money.
Motegi, who visited the plant Monday for an inspection, said Tepco's lax maintenance was largely to blame for the leaking storage tanks surrounding the poorly protected 40-year-old plant hit by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
He said the government would be taking charge and stepping up patrols of the tanks to prevent more problems.
Suga said the big problem is that Tepco has failed to properly manage tanks for storing contaminated water, unlike the structural factors behind the contamination of groundwater at the plant.
The building crisis involving leaks of radioactive water from the crippled plant will not hamper Japan's bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, Suga also said at the same press conference.
He acknowledged that Japanese diplomats have been briefing other countries on the escalating crisis at the plant, but added, "I believe this will not influence" the Olympics bid.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is scheduled to join a general meeting of the International Olympic Committee on Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires and make a final presentation for Tokyo's bid to host the games, which Madrid and Istanbul are also seeking to host.

but for the price of the swap and suspension, you can get a e36 and your off to the races with out much work.

Labor promises centres to help the older unemployed
Page Tools
Centres to help an estimated 63,000 older people retrain for new careers have been promised by Labor in a $212 million strategy to help the rising number of long-term unemployed.
The Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, also pledged a "rapid assistance service" for workers facing retrenchment, incentives for employers to retrain older workers, expanded incentives for those wishing to start their own business and a network of 125 trainers for industry retraining programs.
With a third of Australians aged over 50 on income support, the Howard Government had failed to meet its promise to combat the plight facing so many displaced workers, Mr Latham said.
"Too many Australians are finding that if they lose their job later in life, they never regain employment," Labor's policy document states.
"With an ageing population and growing skills shortages in key industries, wasting the skills and experience of mature-age Australians is not an option."
Launching the policy yesterday in Wyong, Mr Latham also said Labor would aim to reduce overall unemployment to 5 per cent in its first term.
With sound economic policies backed by schemes for older workers and the youth guarantee for 45,000 new "learning and earning" opportunities, "we should be able to make further progress on the unemployment front".
The promised funding includes about $86 million already announced by Labor in its plans to boost TAFE enrolment, information technology skills and literacy programs.
The new $26.5 million promise over four years for "mature-age career centres" is aimed at removing the barriers that now prevent those whose incomes preclude them from welfare assistance from using the full range of Job Network services.
Assistance provided at the centres could include help with resumes, counselling, skills assessment and identifying work experience and job opportunities.
The "rapid assistance service" would provide retrenched workers with help including relocation assistance and income assistance, and is expected to cost $47 million over four years.
Other features of Labor's policy include a $2000 learning bonus for older workers who take up apprenticeships in areas short of skills and a further 500 places in the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme earmarked for older job seekers who do not qualify for income support.
The Employment Minister, Kevin Andrews, defended the Government's record, and called Labor's policy an "uncosted and unfunded dog's breakfast".
Labor's plan to establish a rapid assistance service would only encourage employers to target older workers for retrenchment, he said.
A government report leaked this week says the privatised Jobs Network has let down older job seekers and recommends sweeping changes to the way older unemployed people are treated.
But the Employment Services Minister, Mal Brough, said yesterday that many of the issues raised in the report, submitted to the Government by peak body COTA National Seniors last year, were no longer relevant.
Yesterday the federal Treasurer, Peter Costello, said a shift away from part-time work in favour of full-time jobs underscored the strength of the jobs market, even though the unemployment rate has lifted.
Jobs figures showed full-time employment rose by 39,300 last month, but this was offset by a 43,100 plunge in part-time work.
This left total employment down 3800 in June, the second monthly fall, and pushed the jobless rate up from the 23-year low of 5.5 per cent in May to 5.6 per cent - the first rise in the unemployment rate since February.
"What we are seeing, I think, is a move out of part-time work into full-time job creation and I actually think that is a good thing," Mr Costello said.

Plum grad earns MVP honors in volleyball tourney triumph for Penn State-Behrend
Penn State-Behrend senior volleyball player Chelsea Magnusen, a Plum graduate, earned Morrisville State (N.Y.) Tournament Most Valuable Player honors as the Lions went undefeated last Friday and Saturday to capture the championship.
Behrend won four matches at the tournament and improved to 10-1 overall after a season-opening loss to Westminster at the Westminster Tournament.
On Saturday, Magnusen finished the first match two aces away from a triple-double. She dished out 21 assists, 11 digs and a career-best eight aces.
Magnusen completed her two-day tournament with 28 assists in the tournament-clinching victory over host Morrisville.
Fellow Plum graduate and Behrend freshman Alyssa Samarco earned a spot on the all-tournament team, as she posted seven kills and three blocks in the Morrisville win.
In action on the first day of the tournament, Samarco led the attack against Keystone College with nine kills and a team-best six aces, while Magnusen tallied 25 assists, six digs, three aces and three blocks.
Behrend also upended D'Youville on day one, and Magnusen registered 23 assists, seven digs, four kills and two blocks.
Samarco added nine kills, two blocks and two aces.
Behrend hosts Grove City in its final nonconference match before beginning Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference action with Franciscan and Penn-State-Altoona on Sept. 28.
The Lions were selected to finish first in the AMCC preseason coaches poll, and Magnusen was tabbed as the preseason player of the year.
The Behrend women's volleyball team is playing this season with heavy hearts and thoughts for former teammate Catherine Healy, who was killed in a June car crash near her Connellsville home.
Healy, a conference all-star in 2012, was set to be a team captain with Magnusen this season as a junior.

Ghost hunter lectures, plans SRU tour
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Lorraine Warren, a principal paranormal investigator of the Amityville Horror case, visits Slippery Rock University Monday to see for herself whether a ghost haunts Miller Auditorium as some claim. For years, faculty and students have reported hearing and seeing the spirit of "Emma the Ghost" in the theatre.
Warren, co-founder of the New England Society for Psychic Research, will lecture at 7 p.m. at the University Union Multi-Purpose Room. She will then lead 15-20 people, chosen by raffle, for a tour of Miller to search for ghosts.
Warren and her late husband Ed Warren authored several books about paranormal activity and claim to have researched 10,000 hauntings. The most well known, the Amityville case in upstate New York, involved a couple's claim their house was haunted by a demonic presence. The incident was the basis for a book and movie.
"Everyone has heard the stories about Miller being haunted," said David Wolfe, an SRU sport management major from Pittsburgh and vice president of speakers for University Program Board. This is an opportunity for people to go with this clairvoyant woman as she walks through Miller and see whether she feels a presence or sees anything."
"Emma the Ghost" is an SRU story that has been perpetuated for years. "Emma" is thought by many to be a spirit embodying Emma Guffey Miller, a prominent local political figure, SRU trustee and University supporter who died in 1950.
Over the years, SRU students have reported seeing a woman's figure out of the corner of their eye, or hearing pounding noises from a cove, but finding nothing when they check on the disturbance. Other stories tell of lights flickering during rehearsals.
They speculate that Emma, described as friendly, haunts Miller because the building was named after her, and she loved theatre. Students use many of her old clothes as costumes and store them in "Emma's Closet" inside Miller.
In 2009, SRU allowed Baelfire Paranormal Investigation to spend the night in Miller Auditorium searching for Emma. Owner John Lewis claimed his team captured pictures of primordial mists and electronic voice phenomena. He also said he felt pressure against his knee, and a K2 electromagnetic detector flashed on command, indicating the presence of spirits, Lewis said. Baelfire presented the University with a certificate officially designating Miller as being haunted.
University Program Board is sponsoring Warren's visit to SRU. Admission is free for students, $5 for the public.

Wiccan minister to run in the 51st District as a Green Party candidate
A Fayette County woman has announced her candidacy under the Green Party for state representative in the 51st district.
The Rev. Kathryn Jones will challenge incumbent state Rep. Tim Mahoney, a South Union Democrat, for the two-year seat.
A former Democrat, Jones said she believes the local Democratic party has failed the community and the party as a whole.
"I hope to put the brakes on this out-of-control cronyism and nepotism," Jones said. "We just need a two-year break to catch our breath and find a different direction, because the direction we are going is nowhere."
In a campaign announcement, Jones said she supports many of the Green Party's core principles, including raising the minimum wage and legalizing marijuana, with revenues from marijuana sales used to lower property taxes and fund education.
She said she "recognizes the struggles of the everyday citizen."
A 1980 graduate of Uniontown Area High School, Jones said she's a strong supporter of the Bill of Rights and an Occupy activist.
A self-described Wiccan who is ordained through Universal Ministries, Jones said she "specializes in interfaith relations."
Other Green Party principles Jones cited include political reform, individual participation in government, ending "government spying" and ensuring Fourth Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure are not violated.
Jones said she is attempting to collect enough signatures on nominating petitions to be placed on the November ballot.
Independent candidates or those running as a minority party candidate have until Aug. 1 to file nominating petitions, according to Ron Ruman of the Pennsylvania Department of State.
Ruman said Jones will need to acquire 300 signatures on nominating papers to get on the ballot.
The 51st district has a population of 63,028 in parts of Fayette and Somerset counties. In Fayette, it includes the city of Uniontown, the townships of Georges, German, Henry Clay, Nicholson, South Union, Springfield, Springhill, Stewart and Wharton; and Fairchance, Markleysburg, Ohiopyle, Point Marion and Smithfield boroughs. In Somerset, it includes the townships of Addison, Elk Lick, Lower Turkeyfoot, Summit and Upper Turkeyfoot; and Addison, Confluence, Garrett, Meyersdale, Salisbury and Ursina boroughs.

Nick Clegg: we got it wrong on Israel
Lib Dem leader says Israel's voice has not been well enough represented within party
Deputy prime Minister Nick Clegg attempted to open a new chapter in the relationship between the Liberal Democrats and British Jews this week when he emphasised his party's support for Israel and reiterated the coalition's pledge to change the law on universal jurisdiction.
He told a lunch held by Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel that he was aware of past tensions, and was engaged in "an operation to clarify misunderstandings".
He said that although the campaign for justice for the Palestinians remained an important cause, he recognised there had not always been an equal voice for Israel within his party.
"It should always have been accompanied, equally loudly and equally clearly, by an awareness of the security challenges faced by Israel and of the right of Israel to defend itself against the threats that it continually faces.
"I'm not certain that we have always made ourselves clearly heard on this, so let me say it again now: Israel's right to thrive in peace and security is non-negotiable for Liberal Democrats. No other country so continually has its right to exist called into question as does Israel, and that is intolerable.
"There can be no solution to the problems of the Middle East that does not include a full and proper recognition of Israel by all parties to the conflict."
He said he supported the principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows people suspected of war crimes around the world to be arrested in Britain.
However, he did not believe it was right that magistrates should be able to issue "politically motivated" warrants for visiting politicians and military figures. The issue reached a head last December when an arrest warrant was issued for Israeli Opposition leader Tzipi Livni for her role in Operation Cast Lead in Gaza.
"The issuing of such warrants should be a matter for one of central government's senior law officers, not for local magistrates," said Mr Clegg.
His audience at the National Liberal Club included ministers Lynne Featherstone and Norman Baker, former Chief Secretary to the Treasury David Laws, and prominent Lib Dem peers Lady Neuberger, Lord Carlile, Lord Dholakia and Lord Alliance.
He recognised that antisemitism remained a reality in Britain. "No amount of anger about overseas events can ever justify hostility, let alone hatred towards British Jews," he said.
On a range of issues Mr Clegg sought to reassure the community. He said he had always defended the right to shechitah (religious slaughter) and always would. On faith schools, he said his party was committed to parental choice. He was also tough on school security, saying: "It is outrageous that there should be such a threat to the safety of Jewish schoolchildren in Britain today."
He did not mention the LibDem peer Jenny Tonge, whose comments on Israel have alienated many Jewish voters. In February, Mr Clegg removed Baroness Tonge from his front bench team after she suggested there should be an investigation into whether the IDF was harvesting body parts in Haiti during the aid operation following the earthquake.
Nor did he refer to last week's comments by Lib Dem peer Lord Phillips to a Palestine Solidarity Campaign meeting in Westminster, that America was in the grip of the "Israel lobby" and that Europe was unable to think straight about Israel because of the Holocaust.
Lord Phillips' remarks are understood to have sparked a rare formal complaint to Mr Clegg by the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Leadership Council and the Community Security Trust. The complaint was followed by a meeting between the three organisations and LibDem Chief Whip Alastair Carmichael.

Geocaching Oregon
A few years ago I was introduced to a fun – many would say addicting – game of high-tech treasure hunting called geocaching. It is essentially a game of hide and seek using GPS devices. Geocachers hide a small container, called a geocache, or "cache", in a publicly accessible location and post the GPS coordinates online. Others will then load those coordinates into their GPS device and attempt to find it.
Those of us "bitten by the bug" invariably come to realize that one of the most rewarding benefits of geocaching is discovering new and interesting places the search takes us. If not for geocaching, we would never find some of these places. Here is an example:
Recently, a buddy and I took a whirlwind geocaching road trip from the coast to Central Oregon, looping south to the Klamath Basin and back – in two days!
We began looking for caches in the vicinity of Trail Bridge Reservoir along the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway. We found two caches in that quiet and serene spot. One had been placed there a few days prior and we were hoping to be the first finders – but alas, we were a day late! There were no fishermen about that morning, which made for an easier hunt. If not for geocaching we would not have known there was an access trailhead nearby to a rugged section of the McKenzie River Trail.
Later, we explored the Sisters area to look for a couple of caches in the surrounding pine forests. What a contrast to the thick, green coastal forests we left just five hours ago! One cache was placed by a forest fire fighter and had a Smokey Bear theme to it – an appropriate cache, since we are both foresters.
Over the course of the next few hours our geocaching hunts brought us to a quaint old German cemetery, the spectacular Crooked River Gorge, the Badlands OHV trails and the volcano-marred landscape of the Newberry Crater National Monument. If not for geocaching we would never have enjoyed the breath-taking views of this unique landscape from the top of a cinder cone!
Day two began early as we headed south to the Klamath Falls region. Along the way, we took a short diversion west to find a cache at Diamond Lake. There we were treated to a gorgeous view of Mt. Bailey with lingering clouds on its snow-covered peak – and nearly carried away by mosquitoes!
By early afternoon, we found caches at a wonderful viewpoint overlooking a crystal clear spring with pastoral views of snowy peaks like Mt. McLoughlin. Also in the area was the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge famous for its diverse population of birds and an old logging museum at Collier State Park. If not for geocaching we would never have walked down to the headwaters of Spring Creek and seen that gorgeous blue-green water bubbling out of the ground.
The final leg of our geocaching spree brought us to the heavily timbered Lake of the Woods along Highway 140, in addition to the crossing of the Pacific Crest Trail and ending with a few quick caches in the Medford valley near the unique Table Rock mesa butte formations.
While this particular excursion allowed us to explore a large area of terrain over a short period of time, geocachers can also discover new and interesting places without leaving their hometown. In fact, many have found after geocaching a while, that they didn't know their local area as well as they thought. I have lived in the Coos Bay area for over thirty years, but had never explored the nearby coastal dunes, until I became a geocacher. But that's another story…..watch for it!
Mike Davidson is a career forester and an outdoor enthusiast who uses the high-tech treasure hunting game of geocaching to lead him to the great variety of outdoor experiences in Oregon.

CIMB is bullish on Asian banks after an analysis of 18 industries across China showed most corporations were in better financial shape than previously thought.
Its top pick in the region is Axis Bank, India's third-largest private sector bank with assets of about $US52 billion.
Axis last week reported a better-than-expected 22 per cent improvement in net profit in the December quarter, buoyed by solid growth in net interest income, margins and asset quality, while provisions for bad loans fell.
"A bottom-up analysis of 2,472 corporates across 18 industry groups in China suggests that corporate health is better than we previously assumed," Hong Kong-based CIMB analyst Trevor Kalcic wrote in a note to clients on Wednesday.
Across the Asian banking sector, CIMB analysts have cut their non-performing loan ratio, a measure of bad assets, for fiscal 2013 by 6.6 basis points to 1.26 per cent, and lowered their estimate of loan impairment charges for fiscal 2014 by 14.5 basis points.
Last week, Indian press reported Axis Bank had appointed Citigroup and JPMorgan to help it raise more than $US1 billion in capital.
Axis Bank's share offering to institutional investors is expected to be launched within the next couple of weeks, depending on market conditions.
Axis Bank passed an enabling resolution to raise $1 billion through equity in December.

When is in-house disaster recovery the right fit for an enterprise?
Many organization officials today are choosing to bring all or some of their traditional or cloud-based disaster recovery services in-house. This is a reasonable choice for companies in highly regulated industries that must adhere to specific recovery requirements, as well as for enterprises that have the infrastructure, expertise and resources necessary to implement and maintain the systems needed to meet their disaster recovery requirements.
How do I measure the benefits, costs and risks of in-house disaster recovery?
Often, company leaders look to in-house disaster recovery in the hopes of saving money and wielding greater control over their infrastructure and information. While do-it-yourself can yield positive business outcomes, many business leaders report that the do-it-yourself approach created a number of unanticipated challenges. Forrester's 2013 study on the risks of "in-house" disaster recovery showed top challenges for a surveyed peer group.
Five questions you should ask before choosing in-house disaster recovery:
Do we have the expertise in-house needed to run and maintain an effective disaster recovery program?
In-house resources are needed to manage the hardware, software and business processes required to recover critical systems within established time frames. More than one-third of respondents in Forrester's survey indicated that this was a challenge for them.
Can we ensure the ongoing funding to make the program successful?
Almost 40% of Forrester's survey respondents indicated that this is a top challenge. The proportion of IT budgets spent on business continuity/disaster recovery is at an all-time high. In 2012, enterprises spent on average 6.2% of their IT budgets on business continuity/disaster recovery, and 28% of firms spent 6% - 10% of their budgets on business continuity/disaster recovery.
Can we dedicate proper resources to the program?
The need for human resources devoted to business continuity/disaster recovery support is on the rise. On average, peer companies in the Forrester study employed more than 31 FTEs dedicated to supporting their business continuity/disaster recovery programs.
Can we ensure a consistent testing and exercise regimen?
Forrester's study indicated that 48% of companies surveyed assessed their level of testing and exercise as "inadequate." In addition to testing being too infrequent, Forrester's survey found that 59% of firms were not entirely satisfied with the outcome of the tests performed.
Will we be able to keep focus for continuous improvement on the program?
Respondents to Forrester's study said lack of focus is the top challenge for organizations running disaster recovery in-house. "Lack of focus on [disaster recovery] relative to other IT projects" topped the list — more than half of the respondents indicated that this is one of their top three challenges.
Assess before you build
Outsourcing options typically fall into two major categories—traditional off-site services and cloud-based solutions. Before committing resources to a do-it-yourself recovery system that may not meet your needs, consider whether outsourcing to an external expert might save you time, money and complications in the long term.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
In Chapter 13 cases, many attorneys will allow you to pay their fees through the chapter 13 plan, however you will have to shop around for an attorney who would let you do this.
In NY, you should contact the county bar association and they will give you a list of NY bankruptcy attorneys to contact.
Most attorneys will take a small retainer up front and allow you to make a monthly payment plan
typically as low as $500 per month until the legal fee is paid.
What I need is a family law attorney who can modify my alimony ASAP - I already have the BK attorney who will do the Chap 13...Will a family law atty do the same?
A family law attorney would not allow their legal fees to be paid by a chapter 13 plan, for a modification you can go directly to the Family Court and try it yourself, but as a NY attorney I can tell you a Family law attorney would not make such an arrangement, but would allow a monthly payment plan
It seems almost impossible to do it myself. The legal system is so murky.
so it seems I need to find an atty who will take a monthly payment plan. Is there a trick to finding such a guy? I have called just about every atty in Poughkeepsie and couldn't find one guy who would do anything like that.
I would contact the bar association or even try Craigslist or a pre paid legal service, which will have attorneys who will do this for a discounted rate.
On craigslist under legal services many attorneys advertise low rates for legal documents and payment plans, you may have to use another County attorney, but a modification is not too hard
I tried to find legal services but only found pre-paid legal which is just this $19/month program that does nothing. Craig's list was pretty vague. Do you know of any sites where attorneys say they work on payment plans?
no, I do not, you would have to contact the attorneys directly. Their are many in NY that do work on payment plans, so you may want to have the bar association of your county provide you a list of local family court attorneys.

House Speaker John Boehner sent President Obama a letter today seeking a meeting on an "all of the above" energy strategy, including the full Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
"There are bipartisan majorities in Congress for an all-of-the-above approach, but it cannot become a reality without your participation," Boehner wrote to Obama. "As president, you hold the most influence over the supply of American-made energy."
"It's my hope that you will work with Republicans to make the all-of-the-above approach you've stated you support a reality," Boehner added.
The speaker also criticized the president in the letter, saying at one point: "Over the last three years, your administration has blocked, slowed, and discouraged the production of critical American energy sources."
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama is amenable to an energy meeting, but added that Republicans are politicizing the issue of higher gas prices.
Carney said critics are making an "empty promise" by suggesting that a "three-point" plan can bring gas prices down to $2.50 per gallon.
"There are a number of factors that go into a spike in oil prices," Carney said.
Gas prices figure to be a major campaign issue in the comings months, at least through the summer.
Carney also said the administration supports a Canadian company's alternate proposal to build part of the Keystone XL, from Oklahoma to the Gulf Coast of Texas.
The rest of the pipeline, running from Canada to Oklahoma, is subject to environmental review, Carney said, and an acceptable route through Nebraska has not been fully determined.
"You have to be direct and honest about the decisions we face," Carney said.

There may be an Alberta Advantage.
But not to Howard Stern.
The hugely successful New York radio host made his Canadian debut on CHOM-FM in Montreal and Q-107-FM in Toronto this week and already has some special interest groups angling to have him yanked off the air.
But there are no plans for stations in Edmonton or Calgary to sign up the most popular - and most fined - man in radio history.
Doug Rutherford, the vice-president of programming for the WIC radio network, which owns Q-107, Power 92 in Edmonton and Rock 107 in Calgary, said yesterday that "we really don't have any intention of bringing Stern into Alberta. His appeal is more for classic rock stations (such as Q-107 and Power 92 competitors the Bear and K-Rock), so I think we'll stay the course here."
Edmonton-based Rutherford, who negotiated the Stern deal for Q-107, said the shock jock's fee (rumored to be between $300,000 and $500,000 US per station) is "a bit pricey for a lot of markets."
Before he hit on American radio, Stern considered coming to Canada to helm the morning show at Toronto's CHUM-FM station.
"They offered me a job in 1981," Stern said last March after inviting The Edmonton Sun to sit in on his morning show at the CBS radio building in New York. "I know I've got a lot of fans in Canada."
Prime Minister Jean Chretien isn't among them, however, joking yesterday that he didn't know who Stern was when questioned by reporters.
From making jokes about masturbating to a picture of Aunt Jemima (fine: $1 million US), Stern has gone on to build his career on insulting all races and cultures and making fun of political correctness.
This week he's made jokes about Princess Diana's death ("What do you do when people want to take your picture? You have a drunk drive you through a tunnel at 120 miles an hour!") and Tom Cruise's angry Saturday-night call to CNN about paparazzi ("Does this guy have a penis? He cried like a woman on CNN. It sounded like Mrs. Tom Cruise").
For his Montreal debut, Stern lashed out at French people everywhere over France's fall to the Nazis in the Second World War ("Bend over, like you did for Hitler," he instructed his francophone audience) and belittled French language, which he called "archaic" and "about as relevant as Yiddish ... the world speaks English and Spanish."
Edmonton's K-Rock station programmer Kevin Grexton says Stern's popularity (roughly 30 million fans on radio and a best-of cable TV show daily) is proof of his talent, and he agrees the jock would be a huge success in Edmonton.
"I think that he's a real good short-term fix for ratings," Grexton says.
Stern himself agrees, telling reporters in Montreal Tuesday that "Most stations we go on are usually in the toilet. No successful station in its right mind would put us on. We are the nuclear bomb that you drop when all else fails."
The Bear's Marty Forbes - who runs the city's highest-rated rock station - doesn't care what Stern might do to increase his audience.
"The short answer is no," Forbes says.
"It's a broader picture than just Howard Stern. It's about Canadian broadcasting and community. We have a commitment to community and I believe you have a responsibility to the city you broadcast in and earn revenue from."
Forbes admires Stern's talent, he says, but "we're knocking Canadian jobs out by bringing in American hosts. I want our people to know and respect what goes on in the city of Edmonton."

Here's a quick recap of the beleaguered technology sector:
Technology is an important component of the broader stock market – making up 18-22% of sector representation. That's much larger compared to other sectors including financials (NYSE:XLF[13]) and healthcare (NYSE:XLV[14]). When it was rallying, the tech sector lifted the market. Conversely, its recent decline has acted as a major performance drag.
Even before the fall in tech shares, we correctly anticipated that bullish market sentiment in the sector was overheated. And besides other factors we track, the headlines proved us right. Here's a sample of the rosy outlook from just a few months ago:
"Wall Street Analysts Increasingly Bullish as Apple Hits Fresh Highs." – Wall Street Journal on 8/27/12
"Apple seen as 'trillion dollar baby'" – MarketWatch on 8/21/12
"Apple could be worth a trillion in one year" – The Atlantic Wire on 9/23/12
Fast forward to now.
It took Apple four months to rally 20% (Jun-Oct 2012) but just a little over one month to drop 20%. (Sep-Oct 2012) Right as Apple and the rest of the tech sector was topping, the ETF Profit Strategy newsletter alerted readers with this 9/20/12 update:
"In the short-run, technology ETFs look overstretched, so a pullback to $63-66 zone for QQQ, $27-29 for XLK wouldn't be out of order."
Since that 9/20 alert, the Nasdaq-100 (NASDAQ:QQQ[15]) has fallen almost 10%. (See chart above) Not only did we hit our target zones, but inverse 2x (NYSE:QID[16]) and 3x (NYSE:TECS[17]) are ahead between 15-25% over the past month. Anti-fragile investing at its finest, you might say. (See Nassim Taleb's wonderful WSJ article on "Learning to Love Volatility.")
The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter uses relative strength analysis along with common sense technical analysis to provide a short, mid, and long-term forecast along with actionable buy/sell recommendations. This is how we identify key trend changes in the sectors as well as the broader markets.
In summary, it will be difficult for the stock market to recover without the participation of the technology sector.

How else can these little ideas be strung together into new and simpler ways

Mine Safety and Health Administration
Contact: Katherine Snyder
Phone: (703) 235-1452

MSHA Alerts Underground Coal Mining Community On Silica Hazard
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has begun a special program to encourage adoption of improved techniques to control crystalline silica dust exposure in underground coal mines, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Davitt McAteer announced. Mines where substantial quantities of quartz-bearing rock must be mined through or drilled during the mining process are the most likely to have high concentrations of quartz in respirable dust.
"Crystalline silica or quartz dust is an especially hazardous component of respirable coal mine dust," McAteer said. "Overexposure can result in silicosis, a lung disease which in severe cases can be fatal. We have begun working with underground coal mine operators and miners to determine how successful their current methods to control silica dust are and to encourage adoption of the latest control techniques. Our agency also will be working to increase the awareness of the health risk from silica exposure by educating both miners and mine operators."
MSHA health specialists will visit selected underground coal mines over the next four to five months to discuss the silica hazard with miners and mine operators, take special samples, analyze the quartz dust control techniques in use, and assist mine operators in trying new control methods. The program will concentrate on mines that are likely to exhibit significant quartz concentrations in respirable dust due to their geologic features and mining methods.
Mine operators who are participating in the MSHA program will be encouraged to try innovative methods to control quartz dust. MSHA will help mine operators evaluate new control measures. If a particular method is tried but fails to achieve results at a given mine, the mine operator in this program will not be penalized for the failure but will be encouraged to continue experimenting until an effective combination of techniques for that mine is identified, McAteer emphasized. Mine operators who have not been contacted by MSHA, but are interested in participating in this program, should contact the MSHA district office which has jurisdiction over the mine.
"All of us in the mining community need to work together on the problem of reducing silica exposure," McAteer said.
The special quartz dust control program being conducted this year supplements MSHA's regular, ongoing program of respirable dust sampling by coal mine operators and MSHA inspectors to determine compliance with respirable dust standards. Currently, all coal mines are required to keep miners' respirable dust exposure levels at or below 2 milligrams per cubic meter of air. In the case of a mine with high levels of silica-containing dust, a standard below 2 milligrams per cubic meter is established to protect miners from overexposure to quartz.
Improved methods to control silica dust can include changing the size of the bits that cut coal and rock, locating water sprays where they will be more effective, and using different filters in machine-mounted air scrubbers. For instance, a recent study by J.F. Colinet and others, of the U.S. Bureau of Mines, "Laboratory Evaluation of Quartz Dust Capture of Irrigated-Filter Collection Systems for Continuous Miners," identified a synthetic filter medium that may more thoroughly remove quartz from the mine air than most other filters currently used in U.S. coal mines.
This synthetic filter medium is currently being evaluated by MSHA in several coal mines. In addition, several mines are exploring the use of a new wet roof drilling technique, utilizing less than 1 gallon of water per hole drilled, which results in the control of nearly all dust generated. The use of a specific water spray located under the boom of a continuous miner has been shown to reduce quartz dust concentrations.
According to a study by MSHA personnel T.F. Tomb, A.J. Gero and J. Kogut published last December in the Journal of Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, a substantial number of samples taken by MSHA in coal mines during recent years show quartz exposures in excess of 100 micrograms per cubic meter, the level at which current MSHA standards are intended to limit coal miners' quartz exposure. In addition, over the period 1985 through 1992, the article reported an increase in the quartz percentage to which coal miners in certain occupations were found to be exposed. Operators of continuous mining machines, cutting machines and roof bolting machines, along with these employees' helpers, are the underground coal mine employees most frequently exposed to excessive quartz dust.
McAteer said that MSHA has learned of several severe cases of silicosis among underground coal miners in recent years. "We are urging all coal mine operators and miners to take this hazard with the utmost seriousness.
"We know of one underground coal miner who died from silicosis while awaiting a lung transplant," McAteer said. "Another underground coal miner has been diagnosed with silicosis in his 40's. It is critical to make sure such tragedies do not recur." Last year, MSHA launched a special program focusing on silica exposure among drillers at surface coal mines after the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) discovered a number of cases of silicosis among surface coal mine employees in Pennsylvania. In 1994, the agency also issued a rule to require effective dust controls on drills.
In addition, Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich last January appointed a nine-member advisory committee to make recommendations on the elimination of black lung disease and silicosis among coal miners.

I documented some of the findings
But in regards to the theme of this thread, yes, linear springs are so much better. I switched to Hyperco all corners. At some pt I may need to Swift them out.
This is Tyler actually.
Thanks for the info on the KW's. I wasn't aware that they were still running progressive springs on their top of the line coilover offering. Hmm. That link had some good info in it.
The linear springs make such a difference as you've felt/seen. Let me know if you ever want to make the jump from Hyperco to Swift. There are performance gains to be had from the testing we have seen from indpendent research.
