On the twentieth day of October, 1880, the employees and the chiefs of the Nez Perce and Ponca tribes of Indians were collected
for the important event of laying a cornerstone in the school building, erected for the education of the youth of the two
tribes by the United States Government. The site of the school was seven miles northeast of the present town of Ponca City.
This dedication was well attended and practically every person present contributed something of value to himself to the dark
recesses of the stone, where the objects remained until they were removed when the building was torn down.
Through the kindness of the superintendent, P. W. Danielson, all the objects, pictures and documents that had been in the
cornerstone—that could be found—were delivered to the representative of the Oklahoma Historical Society.
The two documents quoted here were written in 1880 for the purpose of placing them within the cornerstone. The history of
the Poncas was written by the Acting Agent, A. R. Satterwhite, while the history of the Nez Perce was written by James Reuben,
a member of the tribe.
Ponca Agency, I. T.
October 20, 1880
The Ponca Indians were removed West from the Mississippi river about 1830, and for many years occupied a reservation in the
South East corner of Dakota, just north of the Nebraska line, immediately upon the banks of the Missouri river.
The Sioux a very powerful tribe of Indians made frequent incursions into the Ponca camps stealing their ponies, and killing
their people. The Poncas being a small tribe of about 800 people were powerless to resist these invasions and petitioned the
Government to move them to the Indian Territory. The Government finally consented to their request, and appropriated money
for their removal. In the meantime the Poncas and Sioux
Page 360
had become friends and when the time for their removal, arrived the Poncas were loth to leave their old home. But in the summer
of 1877, they were moved overland to the Quapaw reserve, three miles south of Baxter Springs, Kansas, arriving there June
12, 1877. The Poncas were not satisfied with the location and the President gave them permission to select any unoccupied
land in the Indian Territory, and the Chiefs under the leadership of Standing Bear selected their present reservation at the
confluence of the Arkansas and the Salt Fork Rivers, containing over 100,000 acres.
The Poncas were mover to their present reservation from Baxter Springs, Kansas, by their Agent, William H. Whiteman, who arrived
here July 29, 1878.
Immediately upon his arrival, Agent Whiteman, commenced the erection of suitable agency buildings, and box and log houses
for the Indians. The Poncas were under the charge of Agent Whiteman a year and a half, and he retires from the service December
31, 1879 and from January 1, 1880 to April 7, 1880, A. H. Satterwaite had temporary charge of Ponca Agency. Col. William Whiting
of Illinois, having been appointed Agent for the Poncas, he assumed charge, April 8, 1880, and has conducted the affairs of
the Agency up to the present time.
During the past summer Agent Whiting obtained authority to erect an Industrial school building as a cost of $10000.—to accommodate
the children of the Ponca tribem and those of Chief Joseph's Band of Nez Perces. About forty Indians are employed in the construction
of the above names building.
The Poncas at this time number 530 in the reservation and 115 among the agencies of Nebraska and Dakota.
During the first two years of their residence in the Indian Territory, a large number of the were sick and many died, but
for the past year, the health of the Poncas has been very goof for the three months ending September 30, 1880, there were
seventeen births against three deaths, a gain of fourteen. All deaths that have occurred, during the past year, have been
young children and aged people.
Quite a number of the Poncas were citizen's dress but the larger portion of the tribe still cling to the Indian cistume. (sic)
Page 361
The principle chief and headmen of the Ponca tribe are, White Eagle, Black Crow, Rush in the Battle, The Chief, Big Bull,
Big Soldier, and Child Chief.
Big Smoke, a prominent Chief of the tribe, was shot dead in the office of the Agent, October 3, 1879 by United States Soldiers,
who were attempting his arrest for alleged threats against the life of the Agent. The progress of the Poncas toward civilization
has been very much retarded the past two years by officious persons living in the vicinity of their old home, who have kept
them unsettled, by making extravagant promises of aid, if they would run off and return to their old reservation. At the present
time, the Poncas express themselves as satisfied with their present location and say that they intend to live and die here.
The Poncas at the present time have 80 good houses a good cooking stove for each house, and many of them are supplied with
chairs, dished, and other necessary articles to enable them to better their condition in life.
The Poncas have in their possession about 350 head of cattle, and over 600 ponies.
It is the intention of Agent Whiting to complete this school building at the earliest possible time and inaugurate a system
of education, that will lift the children of the tribe up to a higher level, and fit them for a life of usefulness, to themselves
and their people.
Okland Agency
Indian Territory, Oct. 20, 1880
History of Nez Perce Indians from 1805 up to the present time. Nez Perces formerally lived in Idaho Territory where they were
discovered by Lewis and Clark in 1805. At that time the tribe numbered from 6000 to 7000 and conquered all the surrounding
tribes of Indians. Nez Perces lived by hunting expeditions east of the Rocky Mountains in large numbers sometimes, as high
as 4,000 and leave the rest of the tribe to remain at their own country to protect it from being invaded by some other tribe
of Indians.
They lived and enjoyed the happiness and freedom and lived just as happy as any other Nation in the World.
Page 362
But alas, the day was coming when all their happy days was to be turned into day of sorrow and moening Their days of freedom
was turned to be the day of slavary. Their days of victory was turned to be conquered, and their rights to the country was
disregarded by another nations which is called "Whiteman" at present day.
In 1855 a treaty was made between the Nez Perce Nation and United States.
Wal-la-mot-kin (Hair tied on forehead) or Old Joseph, Hullal-ho-sot, or (Lawyer) were the two leading Chiefs of Nez Perce
Nation in 1855. both of these two Chiefs consented to the treaty and accordingly Nez Perce sold to the United States part
of their country.
In 1863 another treaty was made in which Lawyer and his people consented but Joseph and his people refused to make the second
treaty from that time Joseph's people were called None-treaty Nez Perces.
The treaty Nez Perces numbered 1800
None-treaty numbered 1000
The Nez Perse decreased greatly since 1805 up to 1863. The smallpox prevailed among the tribe which almost destroyed the tribe.
Lawer's people advanced in civilization. and became farmers ec. They had their children in schools. While Joseph's people
refused all these things and lived outside what was called Nez Perce Reservation. In 1877 Government undertook to move Young
Joseph people on the Res. At this date Young Joseph was the ruling chiefs son of Old Chief Joseph who died in 1868, and left
his people in charge of his own Son to take his place, as above stated in 1877, Joseph and his follower's broke out and there
was Nez Perce War bloody one. nine great battles were fought, the last battle lasted five days which Joseph surrendered with
his people with his people 1000. Indians had went on the war path but when Joseph surrendered there was only 600, 400 killed
during the wars or went to other tribes. after the capture Joseph was brought to this Territory as captives. at present Joseph
people numbers 350 out of 600, all are suffering on account of this Southern climate, result is he and his people will live
and die in this country exiled from home
Page 363
For the the last two years Joseph's people though in strange land, yet have made some progress in civilization. But take it
in the right light—Nez Perce have been wrongly treated by the Government and it cannot be denied, not Nez Perce only but all
other Indian Nations in America.
I wrote this about my own people. I am a member of Nez Perce tribe and Nephew of Chief Joseph at present I am employed by
the Government Interpreter and Teacher for my People. as before stated there are 1650 Nez Perce living now in Idaho Territory
of which I belong that's where I got my education.
When this is opened and read may be understood how the Indians have been treated by the Whiteman.

Despite the modern interior – pale wood, cream walls – this Mayfair restaurant (just off Regent Street) is traditional at heart. Oshibori (hand towels) are presented on arrival, service is low-key and considered, and saké is taken seriously (the lengthy list offers not only tasting notes, but also more detailed information on the region each bottle comes from).
The chefs pride themselves on the sushi and sashimi here – and the sourcing certainly can't be knocked. A plump botan prawn was served fanned on top of a nigiri rice pellet with an unusual accompaniment of the deep-fried head. Also from the deep-fryer, a chef's special of mini octopus in light batter (kodako no karaage) was pleasingly tender, with a citrus tang from the accompanying lemon. A summery dish of cucumber with pearls of sweet and salty barley miso was tasty too, though the decorative carving made the chunky cucumber a little tricky to eat elegantly.
At times we've found the service a little distant at Chisou, but become a regular (there are plenty) and you're sure to be treated with more warmth. There's also a branch in Knightsbridge.

Timeout came a long time ago!! Make sure you get a sushi counter seat in front of head chef Kodi san. Ask for the best fish that day and let him take care of your meal. You won't want to go anywhere else.
By far one of the best Japanese restaurant in London!
Great authentic Japanese in central London. Chef Kodi is very friendly and always remembers me!
Food is stunningly fresh and tasty, staffs are friendly and professional. place you want to take your love ones.
My favourite Japanese. Unpretentious great fresh Japanese food. I've been going there for eight years and have not had a bad meal.
I just can`t get enough of this place
Non in europe there`s a Japanese restaurant like Chisou, fantastic fresh fish and tremendous sake list. Do not hesitate to ask any member of staff for sake reccomendations as they`ll guide you through the entire list to reccomend you the best for your food.
Im a frequent visitor to Japan, and when i am at home in London, Chisou is my favourite Japanese Restaurant.
You reviewer certainly went to a different restaurant too, or perhaps he was just feeling grumpy that night. Mrs Diner and I went for lunch last week: the sashimi (particularly the mackerel) was outstanding, we had buttery, melting braised eel sushi, quality soft shelled crabs, and very good fried bean curd. I loved the beef (far too much, even for us) and the range of sakis was impressive. Warning: the portions are huge, particularly the "appetisers". And at £72 for two without drinks, this was not too pricey for what turned into quite a banquet. Oh, and the service was extraordinarily attentive (though one person - just one - needs a can of Sure. Please tell her quickly, rest of the staff, as I'm returning next week!).
This was some of the best Sushi I have eaten ! very fresh.
Sounds like Frank went to a different restaurant! Chisou is often mentioned as one of, if not, 'the' best sushi restaurant in London! Like the decor, the prices and service are not pretentious either. - I have eaten there at least 10 times and taken many friends there. The service has always been superb.
No 4 Chisou mayfair , chinese restaurant .Most of all waitresses are chinese and never lookafter to customers and talking too much in chinese language. That is so ugly..

Gender gap figures in student debt load
As students ask themselves if they dare take on the student loans they'll need for college, the questions are especially critical for women.
More women are going to college than men, and women are earning higher grades on average. But a year after graduating from college, they are earning less in their jobs than men who graduated when they did. Their lower salaries typically follow women throughout their careers, as raises build on the previous level of pay, according to a report by the American Association of University Women.
With lower pay than men, women could have a tougher time handling the same amount of student debt as their male peers.
Researchers Christianne Corbett and Catherine Hill used 2009 data from the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics and found that one year after graduating with a bachelor's degree, women were earning 82 percent of what their male peers were earning.
Women working full time earned $35,296 on average, while men working full time earned $42,918.
The researchers attributed the gap partially to the choices women make in their careers, choices that sometimes position them in occupations like teaching, which pay less than fields like engineering that tend to attract more men. But about a third of the gap in pay cannot be explained by factors such as a woman's major, career choice or hours worked, the researchers said.
They tested the impact of those factors on pay. They found that the caliber of a college made a difference in pay levels, and that people who went to more selective colleges tended to be paid more after graduation. But when men and women attended comparable selective colleges, women ended up earning between 81 and 84 percent of what men earned.
Across the occupational spectrum, too, women lagged. When women majored in business, they earned a little more than over $38,000, while men earned more than $45,000. In engineering and engineering technology and computer and information sciences, women earned between 77 and 88 percent of what men earned.
Part of the pay gap can be explained by the choices women made within those fields. For example, after studying engineering, 57 percent of men worked as engineers, but only 39 percent of women followed that path. Men were also more likely to go into management jobs that provided higher pay than staff positions.
But there were gaps in pay that could not be explained by those choices, the researchers said. Even in teaching, which attracts more women than men, the study showed that women earned 89 percent of what men earned.
With such research in mind, women need to be aware that they have to watch their debt, especially if they aren't inclined to pick lucrative career paths, the report said. They should know likely pay based on their interests and ambitions and match levels of debt to pay.

By Marna Borgstrom
We have seen significant changes in health care with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) almost two years ago. However, the most challenging part of our work is truly just beginning. To ensure that we play an essential role in the evolving health care market, academic health center providers must take the lead by tackling the difficult issues of changing a deeply-embedded individualistic culture, and move towards improved alignment within the academic and clinical enterprise.
As leaders of organizations training much of the future health care workforce, all eyes are upon us. We cannot afford to throw this opportunity away; we must embrace it and demonstrate we can effect sustainable change. Recognizing and mitigating the dissonance between components of the academic and clinical cultures should be a priority at our institutions. At Yale New Haven Hospital, we are working to do this by implementing a system-wide cultural integration initiative among the health system members and our partners at the Yale University School of Medicine to define and align the current and desired cultures across our organizations.
We must find clarity and alignment between and among our missions and business imperatives to develop a sustainable funds flow. Finding harmony between the academic model of medical schools and the evolving market model in which academic health centers operate is critical in order for us to affirm our value. We are no longer in a position to keep the business and academic models separate and isolated.
We must better relate the vital roles of medical school-based research and teaching to the creation of an innovative, sustainable future healthcare workforce providing evidence-based affordable care. We must better-articulate the role of graduate medical education (GME) in enhancing the care we provide. We must define that which distinguishes us most and adds value to the populations we serve, and be prepared to discontinue activities and services that don't.
The clinical enterprise needs to be great in order for the academic enterprise to operate with distinction and vice versa. Leaders at academic medical centers must seek common ground in order to fully align our business models and our culture.

Meet Satya Nadella, Microsoft's New Man in Charge
Well, isn't this sweet? Satya has been married for 22 years to the woman he met in high school. They met at Hyderabad Public School in Hyderabad, India, where he was born and raised. In fact, Satya joins a list of other notable alumni from the public school, including Adobe Systems CEO Shantanu Narayen.
Satya's also the ultimate family man and shared beautiful thoughts with The Indus Entrepreneurs on what it's like to raise three children, two with special needs: "At home, raising kids, or maintaining a loving relationship, realizing that you have achieved — something fantastic is much harder to see. For example, making sure you are at home, reading to your kids every night, just trying hard to be a great parent with just hope that it may make your children great people and parents themselves, but that for most people, you won't know the result of your efforts for 20 years, and nothing is certain."

New Training and Growth Programme for London's Most Promising Small Businesses
31 October 2011
UCL, one of the top-ten universities in the world, and the Goldman Sachs Foundation, are delighted to announce the launch of 10,000 Small Businesses UK, a programme designed to unlock the economic and job creation potential of small businesses and social enterprises.
The goal of the programme is to provide participants with tools and resources to help them lay the foundation for long-term sustainable growth and job creation. 10,000 Small Businesses is designed for leaders of established small businesses and social enterprises, who will benefit from targeted support and resources to help them define and achieve their business growth aspirations.
The core of the programme is high quality, practically-focused business and management training, delivered over twelve sessions lasting approximately 100 hours. To supplement this core learning, 10,000 Small Businesses provides a range of business support services to participants. During the application process and curriculum delivery, the specific needs of the participants are identified to inform the provision of appropriate support. UCL and Goldman Sachs will work with their network of local partners to coordinate the delivery of these services which will include but among others specialist workshops, one to one business advising, access to capital and alumni services. During the course of the programme every participant will develop a customised Growth Plan to direct their organisation's business strategy and expansion.
A crucial feature of the programme is the unique networking and peer learning opportunities created for participants. As leaders of small businesses from a wide range of industry sectors, programme participants offer complementary strengths, knowledge and skills to the collective group. The course is taught in a collaborative setting that creates community and trust, and builds off the real-world experiences of the participants and maximises opportunities to create and enhance valuable and networks.
The launch of the programme in London is an expansion of the 10,000 Small Businesses programme already running across the UK in Yorkshire, the North West and the Midlands. With over 100 participants having already taken part in the programme with promising results we are excited to be bringing the programme to London.

I hope you are having a pleasant summer despite the heat wave that some regions have had. We have had a few rainy days with nice temperatures :) Nice enough to continue to BBQ. As I stated in a previous post, Time for Barbecuing , I have taken a vacation from the "kitchen" and have been preparing almost everything on the grill. So when I saw this dessert, I went running to buy what I needed to make some grilled peaches PRONTO!
The recipe that I share below was inspired by Christina's grilled peaches and cinnamon ice-cream recipe. Feel free two visit her blog Desserts for Two , filled with awesome southern recipes.
|With Nectarines too!
- 5 ripe freestone peaches or nectarines (do not use cling peaches)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup Frangelico (hazelnut liquor) see notes
- Oil for greasing grille
- Ice cream of your choice (I used Vanilla)
a) For the cinnamon syrup you can use 40 ml of water or corn syrup + 2 teaspoons of vanilla instead of liquor.
b) DO use freestone peaches for a more pleasant experience and nicer finish.
c) Make sure the grates are clean and brushed with oil before the peaches go on, this keeps them from sticking.

Jean Carroll: Milliner hung up her hat at 89
Published: September 17 2013 - 3:00AM
Jean Carroll started work as an apprentice milliner before she was 14 and didn't retire until she was 89. She started on fashion hats, but when they began to lose their appeal, she switched to theatrical work and spent many years creating elegant head pieces for stage and screen.
Jean Robson was born on February 11, 1923, in Ryde, daughter of Robert and Jessie Robson. When she was 13 years and 11 months old, Robert took her to Moray Millinery in the city, one of Sydney most successful millinery businesses, to see if she would make a suitable apprentice and she was accepted.
Her first job was to put in headbands and take messages, roll up ribbons and veiling and put them away, and wipe down tables at the end of the day, all for 12 shillings and sixpence a week.
The strict work environment allowed no talking and at the head of the work table was the senior hat maker, who was in charge of six girls, and there were two apprentices. The senior hat maker allocated the hats to be made and if an apprentice was used extra hats had to be made to cover the apprentice's wage.
To keep up with fashion trends, the owner of Moray's, Heather Waddell, travelled to Europe every Christmas and brought back French hats and their blocks.
One of the first big changes to the industry came with World War II, when Moray's had to do a quota of war work, making hats for land army girls and air force berets before they could start on private hat orders. Wartime rationing also meant people renovated more, and to overcome shortages, hats and dresses were made from tablecloths because there was no rationing on those.
In 1944, Robson married Ron Carroll.
She continued to make fashion hats until the mid-1960s, when hats lost their appeal with the popularity of the beehive hairstyle. Women were also no longer required to wear hats in church, so the once thriving industry went into rapid decline. Instead of giving up, as many milliners did, Carroll simply changed careers within the industry and became a theatrical milliner, working in theatre, television, films and opera.
This opened up a whole new career and experiences for her. Different techniques are employed for theatrical hats because ''fashion hats are light with only the woman wearing it where theatrical hats are worn night after night and therefore a different technique is needed. The hats are hand sewn so they are stronger and so that they can be repaired,'' she explained.
A theatre hat is also important because it helps to form the character. ''There are also greater challenges with theatrical hats because you never know what style you'll be asked to make. They can come from any era and be any style. Sometimes they can be a real challenge. I go to bed some nights and I say please whoever is helping me up there give me the idea in the morning of what I've got to do for that hat and when I wake up I have it, so I think there are angels up there who love hats and they help you.''
As well, Carroll shared her vast millinery knowledge with students from NIDA, TAFE NSW, The Australian Forum for Textile Artists (TAFTA), Fibre Forum, the International Millinery Forum and the ''Hat's Off'' Millinery conventions, and gave private lessons.
In 2006, Carroll was awarded an Order of Australia medal for services to millinery and teaching, and in 2010 she was inducted into the Australian Millinery Association's Millinery Hall of Fame. She was featured in an exhibition and book Rare Trades.
Carroll retired in February last year but continued to give lectures about her work to community groups, and also continued attending TAFTA forums and millinery conventions.
Jean Carroll is survived by Ron, son Keith, daughter-in-law Robin, grandsons Grant and Dane and siblings Robert, Norman and Gwen.

|Girls, you're idiots. There's such a thing as a calendar.
There's also a little thing I like to call "reading".
You jackholes should combine the two and quit bitching.
We're sure, to those rational and sane people who register that time is passing, the fact that spring is coming and summer will follow was hardly big news. Yet to us, neither rational, sane nor often sentient - it was a total shock.
But then of course everything went to hell because nobody was not sick for like two months and it took til the end of January to actually recover from the holidays. Then there was this blur that was February...but we get a pass for that one because it has way less days than all the other months. It's like month lite.
- Let's not even talk about how much weight must be lost and wiggly things toned before a bathing suit can be worn in public.
- This also means that -- yet again -- it's nearly swimsuit buying time. If you're like us, your swimsuit spent its offseason basting in that marinade of chlorine, suntan lotion and saltwater and is now a faded bundle of snagged spandex with droopy flowers and a crotch that has lost so much elastic that we'll be lucky if it covers our kneecaps. Which means two things: One, we get to stand in overlit fluorescent Target dressing rooms jamming our lovely pasty white selves into technicolor sausage casings; and two, we have to do it yesterday because actual clothing stores operate on some whacked out calendar and the flip flops and tank tops that have been on display since late January are now on the clearance rack and they're toting out the "New Looks For Fall." We're tempted to go find upper management and practice our a-framing techniques, but we're pretty sure they're Druids.
- Spring sports will begin kicking our asses, hoovering our money, and eating our weekends in 3--2--1--now. Bye bye weekends! Bye bye Saturday mornings! See you in August!
- We're also right in the middle of the Schizophrenic Weather System, when it's 14 below when they leave for school and 126 on their way home. When did Sybil start controlling the weather? Was she a Druid? This lovely March-and-October phenomenon means that getting the kids to take off the flip flops and put on coats is met with such fierce resistance and crying and rending of freakin' garments that we pretty much just throw up our hands and say "FINE! Do whatever you want!" Then, on the walk to school, they're totally singing your praises about being the Best Mom Ever...or they would be, were it not for all the shivering and teeth clattering.
- Oh no. Camp registration started last week! GAAHHHHH!!! The good Girl Scout camp is already full! We're going to have start hustling - and we mean literally hustling on street corners - to get the kids into camps and on teams and all that crap for this summer and also be able to pay for it.
- Aaaaaaaannnnnnddd, just in case you don't have enough to do, don't forget that, with the change in clocks, the return of the birds, flowers and pollen, comes the Seasonal Clothing Migration. Which is the laundry equivalent of inviting Randy into your house to turn you into his laundry bitch for the next two weeks while Sybil decides if she's going to give you sweltering heat or that last snowstorm she's been holding back.
- You know what else normal people can deal with but causes us to stumble around in a confused stupor? Daylight's Savings Time. We get that it's an annual event and all, but we don't have to like it. What genius decided that losing an hour of sleep was a good idea? And right now, Lydia is looking at three different clocks and her cell phone and she still can't tell you what time it is. But she's a genius.
xoxo, Kate & Lydia


text: By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonsterNEW YORK -- The bulls hope for more good news from Fortinet ( FTNT), which gapped higher after a strong earnings report earlier this year. OptionMonster's tracking programs detected the purchase of 8,758 May 23 calls for $1.50 and the sale of an equal number of May 26 calls for 47.5 cents. Volume was more than triple the previous open interest at each strike, indicating that new positions were initiated. Owning calls locks in the level where investors can buy shares, while selling them fixes a potential exit price. Thursday's traders will buy the network-security stock for $23 and sell it for $26 if it rallies to the higher price. It cost them $1.025 to open that $3 spread, a profit of 193% on a move to $26. Fortinet shares rose 0.45% to $22.31 Thursday. Following the rally in late January, the stock consolidated and has now pulled back to the same $22 level that was resistance in December. The company hasn't yet announced the date for first-quarter earnings, but last year it occurred on April 24. Total option volume was 21 times greater than average in the session, with calls outnumbering puts by a bullish 96-to-1 ratio. Russell has no positions in FTNT.

Lancaster's Jeffrey Stribing dies unexpectedly
The unexpected death Thursday of Jeffrey Stribing has left the Village of Lancaster stunned and saddened.
The 55-year-old village development director was a fixture in the community and had served in many roles.
"Jeff is going to be deeply missed, not only because of his dedication to the village, but to many organizations. The man was amazing – from how he handled his disabilities, along with his love of community and his family. He was a great man," Village Trustee Kenneth L. O'Brien III said Friday.
A Lancaster native, Stribing was active in numerous civic organizations, among them the Lancaster Lions Club. A former village trustee who served on the board in two separate stints in the 1980s and '90s, Stribing had served as community development director since 2005 and as president of the Community Development Corp. He also was still serving as chairman of the local Citizens Party at the time of his death.
Stribing, also a former Erie County sheriff's deputy, was legally blind and unable to drive. He often was seen walking throughout the village with his white cane, and it was the norm for him to walk the mile to work each morning from his home in all kinds of weather, rarely asking for a ride.
"He called me for a ride one time to a meeting, and I didn't get the message for an hour, and when I later told him, he said, 'That's OK. The rain washed me off,' " recalled James Allein, village Planning Commission chairman who also served with Stribing on the board of the Lancaster Rural Cemetery.
Stribing's latest big project – for which he was instrumental in securing funding – was the effort to reopen West Main Street, an area that hasn't been accessible for more than 40 years. Part of the former BOCES building was recently razed to help restore the original street and re-establish the village center.
Mayor Paul Maute, also a personal friend, said Stribing's office lights were always on, sometimes as early as 6 a.m. and sometimes as late as 10 p.m. "As I'd walk by, he'd say, 'Mr. Mayor, do you have a minute to talk?' " Maute recalled. "It was never a minute. He'd talk for hours. I've never seen anyone put more time into their job."
Maute said he was speechless when he learned of Stribing's death. "He educated me on something every day," Maute said. "When it came to community development, he was my right-hand man, my go-to guy. His knowledge of government was fantastic."
Stribing also was heavily involved in securing grants to help revitalize Central Avenue and promote facade improvement.
During the last few years, Stribing also played the village's Santa Claus at Christmasville and appeared at the Bloomsbury Lane Toy Shoppe on Central Avenue. "He loved doing that for the kids," Allein said, noting he'd have his hair dyed each November to prepare just the right look.
One of Stribing's favorite sayings was "peace always."
"He signed every letter and email that way," Maute said.
Funeral arrangements were not yet available.

King Tut died of malaria and family bone disease, not murder, suggests a comprehensive new genetic and medical study of royal mummies.
The Journal of the American Medical Association analysis, out Tuesday, was led by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities head Zahi Hawass and looks at five generations of pharaohs. The 11 mummies, including King Tutankhamun, date from ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty, from 1410 B.C. to 1324 B.C.
SLIDESHOW: Items from King Tut's tomb and time
The boy king of Egypt, King Tut reigned for nine years, dying at age 19. Writers have seen foul play at work in his early death. But the new analysis found traces of malaria genes and showed a family plagued by bone necrosis.
"They were human. They suffered illness even if they were royal," says study team geneticist Carsten Pusch of Germany's University of Tubingen. "The DNA analysis puts names on some of these mummies and in a way brings them to life again."
From 2007 to 2009, the royal mummies underwent extensive examination, including X-rays and gene analysis. The results confirm that Pharaoh Akhenaten, who died in 1331 B.C. after attempting to turn Egyptian religion to monotheism, indeed fathered King Tut after marrying his sister. And they confirm a family line from Tut's great-grandfather, Yuya, through two fetuses buried in Tut's tomb that he fathered.
"You have to know that these mummies were hidden away at night by later priests, and they made some mistakes," switching names among mummies, Hawass says by e-mail. "So it is fascinating for us to try to use science to trace the truth."
One theory suggested the family suffered from Marfan's syndrome, based on the feminized appearance of the era's depiction of rulers. But the new study disproves that, showing the Pharoahs possessed standard male features and genes. Tut had a club foot and other bone loss, revealed by X-rays, and likely died of a broken leg added to the ravages of a malaria infection, the study concludes.
"A lot of Egyptologists are interested in these detective stories," says the University of Pennsylvania's David Silverman, curator of the Penn Museum's Egyptian section. "They can tell us a lot about the lives of these long-gone people."
The study relied on a $5 million genetic analysis lab built under the Cairo museum housing many of King Tut's artifacts, with funding from cable television's Discovery Channel. Several of the mummies, including Tut, were sampled from their tombs inside Egypt's storied Valley of the Kings.
Silverman, who is the curator of a King Tut exhibit at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, says the findings will allow him to remove the word "probable" from descriptions of King Tut's lineage, when the exhibit moves to New York in April. "We know they are real, not just probable, now."

The cost of health insurance in upcoming+news/published+news varies based on the type of insurance that one obtains. There are various types of health insurance plans. One common type of health insurance is the PPO plan. The PPO plan allows the insured to see whatever doctor they wish without the need for pre-approvals or authorizations from the health insurance plan. For example, if the insured wishes to go to a specialist for a second opinion on a diagnosis, they are free to do so without any previousapproval. Another type of plan is the HMO. An HMO differs from a PPO in that visits to specialists usually requires the insured visit his or her primary care physician first. If the primary care physician agrees, he or she will provide a referral to that particular specialist.
Most people begin life covered by their parents health insurance. Wherever you live in upcoming+news/published+news or anywhere else in the United States, health insurance is expected. If you don't have health insurance, you are apt to be embarrassed when trying to admit yourself into a hospital. A health insurance card is expected of anyone who lresides in the United States. Even when trying to make an appointment with a general doctor, you will be asked if you have health insurance. If you don't have health insurance, you might be refused an appointment. That is the way things are in the United States. Of course, if you can't afford health insurance, you might have to find some agency who can try and get you to qualify for health insurance paid for by the government. However, you get covered by health insurance, the facts are that you need health insurance if you ever need to be treated medically.
When it comes down to it, health care is not something that anyone can, or should, do without. Whether you get sick, you're in a car accident or something else happens that takes your health away from you, you need to have insurance to cover you when you don't beat the odds and your health is assaulted. Some people get insurance through their job, some get it through their spouse or parents, but if you don't get insurance at all it isn't a price that you can just defer and hope for the best. So if you're living without any form of safety net for your health, you need to check around upcoming+news/published+news for the best rates you can get to cover you. Because if you wait till something's happened, then it's already too late.

Kissing Connection: Kanye West's Love History (VIDEO)
Kanye West's romantic life has been filled with many trysts in his past — but has he found his love anchor in Kim Kardashian?
While the talk continue to circulate around Kanye and Kim's relationship, the Grammy winner has had other budding romances that some may have forgotten.
Watch the video above for the 808s & Heartbreak crooner's real and rumored love line!
Kanye's first serious romance began with designer Alexis Phifer. The relationship lasted for six years, with the rapper proposing to Phifer in 2006. Unfortunately, the couple broke up in 2008 amidst rumors that the rapper was devoting more time to his career.
Kanye moved onto to model Amber Rose. The couple's tumultuous relationship was speculated to have been caused by Kanye's infidelities, though nothing has been confirmed. The couple split in 2010 and was then followed by a slew of hookups for the rapper, including Kate Upton and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Nowadays, Kanye has been photographed with Kim and recently had dinner with her family. Could this be another whirlwind romance for the rapper? Or do you think Kim and Kanye would be a good match for the long haul?

American Perception of Space Exploration | CCSA
By Margaret J. King, Director, Center for Cultural Studies & Analysis, Posted 06/25/09
Link: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fesdepo...
This is a very useful report by the Center for Cultural Studies & Analysis (CCSA) that places the public view of the value of space exploration within the context of a national vision for the future. One conclusion is that "NASA does not have a branding problem; it has a communications problem, in that people do not understand the connection between the NASA brand and its current activities." Since space commerce is closely associated with NASA's brand, the conclusions reached are important for branding the emerging commercial space market and the potential value to its stakeholders. .

Repa (REgular PArallel arrays)
This is the developer's wiki for the Repa array library.
Repa provides high performance, regular, multi-dimensional, shape polymorphic parallel arrays. All numeric data is stored unboxed. Functions written with the Repa combinators are automatically parallel provided you supply +RTS -Nwhatever on the command line when running the program.
- Repa currently depends on the head branch of GHC to get decent performance. If you compile it with 6.12 then it'll run, but the programs will be very slow. It's been tested with GHC > 6.13.20100309.
- For performance reasons, we don't do bounds checking when indexing arrays. Indexing outside an array will likely cause heap corruption.
- Repa means "turnip" in Russian. If you don't like turnips then this library probably isn't for you.
State of Play
This section records what the Repa developers are actively working on. If you're hacking on something Repa related then by all means add yourself here. Records are dropped off if they haven't been updated for more than a month.
Ben (benl23) -- updated 28th April 2010
- The first version has just been released, and I'm working on getting the trac set up.
- I'm loading all outstanding issues into the tracker, and will put up pictures showing the output of some of the examples.
- I'm planning to split the core of the example programs into repa-algorithms, so they're easier to reuse.
- I need to use a better image format than ASCII PPM for the Laplace and FFT examples. Reading and writing >10k ASCII doubles is very slow.
- I'll also add some more examples. I've got QR decomposition and a fluid flow solver in mind.

A small but high-powered group of policy hawks has urged Reserve Bank of Australia governor
"They need to keep their powder dry because who knows what is going on?" former RBA board member
In addition to Mr McGaughie, members of the "shadow" central bank board, including former RBA board members
The Reserve Bank's board, which includes two new members who are potentially more dovish, is under pressure to spur the economy and support the federal government, which is constrained by the risk of losing its AAA rating if it racks up more deficits.
Former Future Fund chairman
Australia's high net foreign liabilities were a problem that needed to be taken more seriously, he said.
"Because the budget deficits have been too high and the world economy is in a bad place, the government has to protect its credit rating," he said.
Mr Murray joined the federal government's top infrastructure adviser,
Those calls add to the focus on monetary policy, with most economists forecasting a reduction of 0.25 of a percentage point today to 3.5 per cent. Interest rate futures swap pricing suggests the RBA will slash the benchmark to a record low by August.
Analysts believe two Reserve Bank board members appointed this year favour looser monetary policy: former manufacturing industry lobbyist Heather Ridout and former Labor government economics adviser John Edwards.
Saul Eslake, a member of the shadow board and Merrill Lynch Australia chief economist, said $2.5 billion in cash payments due this month from the government in compensation for the carbon tax was "stimulus enough".
The RBA could also afford to wait at least another month, and, depending on the outcome of the Greek elections on June 17, make "contingency plans for an inter-meeting cut", Mr Eslake said.
With further evidence that Europe's crisis is rippling around the global economy, Treasurer
Standard & Poor's told The Weekend Financial Review extended deficits would threaten the government's credit rating.
Mr Murray signalled that retaining the AAA rating was critical to ensuring borrowing costs remained low.
"The fact is as soon as the government starts borrowing to the point where it can lose its credit rating, it gets downgraded, everybody else gets downgraded and it means the government has crowded out the private sector," he said.
"When things in the rest of the world are the way they are, we're so heavily indebted to the rest of the world in the public and private sector, you have to clean it up with a disciplined budget and show the rest of the world your determination to run things prudently."
With much of the political and media focus being on whether the government could achieve a surplus this financial year, Mr Murray said that was only part of the equation.
"It's not just about the surplus, it's about stabilising the Commonwealth's debt," he said.
He noted some government projects, such as the national broadband network and Clean Energy Finance Corporation, were not included in the deficit but added to government debt.
Mr Swan has repeatedly said that getting the budget back to surplus gives the central bank maximum flexibility to cut interest rates, a position that opposition Treasury spokesman
In an interview with Bloomberg television, Mr Hockey said: "Unquestionably if the government does run a surplus then it does give the Reserve Bank more room to move".
HSBC Australia chief economist Paul Bloxham, another "shadow" board member, said the scope to cut official interest rates had narrowed with the dollar's recent drop under US97¢.
Mr Bloxham said the fall was likely to put upward pressure on inflation, while most domestic indicators for the economy remained firm, including the 4.9 per cent jobless rate.
"The 50 basis point cut by the RBA last month has yet to feed through the economy and almost all of the currently available economic indicators pre-date the May cut," he said.
Another shadow board member, University of NSW professor James Morley, said it was important that the RBA not be seen to be targeting house prices, which have fallen this year.
"The inflation-targeting mandate implies a need to focus on a broad basket of consumer goods, not on particular asset prices," Mr Morley said.
Mr McGauchie, who chairs the nation's biggest beef producer, Australian Agricultural Company, said cutting rates today was unlikely to improve consumer spending.
He said Australia should take heed of weak monetary policies that fuelled debt binges offshore, sparking many of the problems in Greece and elsewhere.

Willie Mitchell has been making the rounds among teams that have shown interest in signing him for this upcoming season. Today was his turn to work out with the Washington Capitals at the team's headquarters at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, V.A.
Because of Mitchell's injury history, particularly with concussions, several teams want to put him through tests to make sure he is 100% healthy before they sign him. He has already worked out with the Los Angeles Kings, and the San Jose Sharks as well as the Vancouver Canucks are still in the mix to sign the veteran shutdown defenseman.
Mitchell would be a great fit for the Caps. Something they are lacking is a physical, veteran presence on the blue line. The price isn't necessarily a concern because the Caps still have around 5 million in space, but George McPhee will want to keep it conservative since he likes to have the cap flexibility to make changes to the team mid season.
Last season Mitchell scored four goals and added eight assists for 12 points in 48 games. But teams aren't looking to sign him for his offensive output. The Capitals already have the best offensive defenseman in the league in Mike Green, but Mitchell has something they don't. In those 48 games, Mitchell recorded 48 penalty minutes and is always a physical presence in the defensive zone. That grit that is so valuable come playoff time is something the Caps have been lacking on the backend.
Not only would Mitchell's skills be put to good use by the Capitals, but his experience could easily help bring along the defensive skills of the Caps' young D-men. Green, Jeff Schultz, Karl Alzner, and John Carlson are all under 25. Both Schultz and Alzner seem to be taking paths toward becoming shutdown players, and the presence of Mitchell can only help improve the defensive skills of the whole blueline.
Mitchell could help turn the Capitals into a Stanley Cup winning team, but the other three teams have shortcomings at defense as well. Both San Jose and L.A. have few defensemen on their current rosters, and Vancouver isn't going to let Kevin Bieska's better half walk away without a fight.
With big defensive names getting snatched up early this free agent season, Willie Mitchell has become quite a hot commodity. He would be a great fit for the Capitals and would fill a much needed role. The Caps may have plenty of defensemen in the system, but none are the caliber or style of Mitchell. He would add yet another dynamic to a team that lapped the competition during the regular season last year. The Caps have been quiet this offseason, but that could all change as Mitchell inches closer to making a decision.

Freshman Josh Jenkins led the Aggies with 14 points, including a huge 3-point basket in overtime. The Aggies went 3-for-6 from the field and 1-for-1 from behind the 3-point line in extra period, while hitting 7-of-8 from the charity stripe to seal the game for NMSU.
Jenkins, from Albuquerque, hit four of his five 3-point baskets in the Aggies' win. Three other Aggies scored in double figures as Trevor Lawrence dropped in 12, Mike Mitchell scored 11 and Byron Davis added 10.
The Aggies shot 43 percent from the field, while holding Western Michigan to just 34 percent shooting.
The Aggies won despite being outrebounded by the Broncos 46-36 and turning the ball over 24 times.
The Broncos were led by Levi Rost with 17 points on the night, going 7-of-15 from the field.
The Aggies and Broncos both started the game with an up and down the court game but neither team could find the bottom of the net until the 17:40 mark in the half when Davis hit a 15-foot jumper from the corner.
Robert Frazier picked up his third foul of the half at the 11:32 mark, forcing him to the bench.
The Aggies held a 27-22 lead at the half. NMSU shot 40 percent from the floor, but hit just 1-of-8 from the 3-point line. The Aggies hit 76.9 percent of their free throws for the half.
The Aggies led by as much as eight in the second half, but couldn't shake the Broncos. WMU knocked down the long range 3-point basket to tie the game at 51-51 with :26 seconds to go.
NMSU held for the final shot, but an Allen Haynes jumber fell short, sending the game to overtime.
In overtime, tough defense on both ends shined early. NMSU hit a three and seven free throws in the extra period to take the win in their opening game, 65-61.

5 Min Read
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. regulators are launching a broad review into the business practices of failed futures brokerage MF Global Holdings Ltd as their hunt continues for over $600 million in missing customer money.
Round-the-clock shifts for examiners have become the norm as they sort through the collapse of the firm headed by former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine. MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Monday after risky bets on European debt scared away clients and investors.
"We will look at every aspect of how the firm conducted business," Mary Schapiro, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, told Reuters regarding the agency's review. She declined to discuss any potential action that the SEC's enforcement division may take.
Investor fears over European sovereign debt risks facing other investment houses hit shares of Jefferies Group Inc hard early on Thursday until it issued a statement saying it had no meaningful net exposure.
In other developments, the president of a congressionally chartered investor protection group said there were some problems finding firms to take over some former MF Global customer accounts because of questions about missing money.
Both SEC's Schapiro and Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, painted a picture on Thursday of close teamwork between regulators to get to the bottom of why the firm collapsed and track down the funds.
Gensler said CFTC staff has been on-site at the firm since last Thursday, and took part in calls in the middle of the night with other regulators about the fate of the firm.
"The first time that we actually knew there was a shortfall for me was when I got woken up 2:30 a.m. Monday," Gensler told reporters after testifying to the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on Thursday.
So far, the long hours have failed to turn up much in terms of money -- and that may not be an accident. CME Group, the biggest U.S. futures exchange operator, has said that MF Global appeared to have made "transfers of customer segregated funds in a manner that may have been designed to avoid detection.
"The most troubling aspect about the MF Global situation is the shortfall of customer money at the firm," Gensler said, adding that customer money may be tied up for a while as the bankruptcy court and trustee do a full accounting.
The CFTC, which oversees the futures markets, is the regulator working to track down the hundreds of millions of dollars missing from customer's futures accounts, which makes up the lion's share of the shortfall at the bankrupt brokerage.
As of now -- the regulators seem to have more questions than answers.
"It's extremely troubling the kinds of risks that were taken," Schapiro told Reuters. "We don't know yet what holes exist, whether they can or will be filled, and until we know that, we can't really do the post-mortem."
Brokerages like MF Global are required to keep their customers' money segregated from the firms' own cash. Questions about whether this took place at MF Global has attracted the Federal Bureau of Investigation in addition to regulators.
Neither MF Global nor Chief Executive Jon Corzine, who once ran Goldman Sachs, have been accused of any wrongdoing.
"Segregation of customer funds is the core foundation of customer protection in the commodity futures and swaps markets," said Gensler on Capitol Hill. "Segregation must be maintained at all times. That means at every moment of every day."
As customers of MF Global clamor to gain access to their frozen trading accounts, bankruptcy liquidators are having difficulty finding rival brokers willing to accept a court-approved transfer of these accounts, a top liquidator told Reuters on Thursday.
"The most elemental question is finding a home for these accounts, but given the fact questions (remain about the cash shortfall), it's proving to be a challenge," said Stephen Harbeck, president of Securities Investor Protection Corp, a group that recovers assets from failed brokerage firms.
In the 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers it took liquidators seven to ten days to begin reuniting retail customers with their accounts, Harbeck said.
Gensler made clear U.S. taxpayer money was not at risk in the MF Global meltdown. "This was an example, actually, of a financial institution having the freedom to fail," he said.
