Evaluating Instructional Materials
|This article originally appeared in Printed Sources: A Guide to Published Genealogical Records, edited by Kory L. Meyerink.
Gone are the days when researchers could learn their craft solely by practical application. Acquiring knowledge by trial and error is inefficient and unnecessary, and can jeopardize the research opportunities of those who follow.
Instructional material helps researchers progress from the personal to the universal. No longer can a family historian, a professional genealogist, or a teacher function autonomously. As members of the larger genealogical community, researchers must operate under a code of ethics and proper standards of conduct. This code includes not only adequately documenting and describing sources of information, but also developing an awareness of local and national concerns about records preservation and access. The best method of developing an appreciation of issues and a policy of responsible action is receiving quality instruction.
The introduction of online computer bulletin boards, the high attendance at national conferences, and the potential for networking among researchers certainly offer many instructional opportunities. But they do not alter a basic fact: the printed word reaches more researchers than any other medium and thus is most influential in transmitting skills, information, and attitudes. Genealogical society leaders, book reviewers, teachers, and professional genealogists are likely to be asked, How do I begin? These experienced researchers must be prepared to recommend the best instructional materials in the field. The following criteria should aid the selection process.
An important consideration in evaluating instructional material is the experience and expertise the author brings to the work.
- Is the author a practicing genealogist who has gained recognition among peers through writing or lecturing? Or is the author a professional writer who has chosen genealogy as the subject for a marketable book?
- Is the author familiar with the concepts, research principles, records, and regions that are described in the book?
- What training has the author received for this type of work?
- What other works have been prepared by this author and how well were they received by the genealogical community and reviewers?
This is not to imply that only a professional researcher can write a research guide or that only a practicing teacher can prepare instructional materials. Instead, it suggests that an author's credentials and reputation are a prime evaluative factor.
Another consideration in evaluation of instructional material is the reader's purpose. Is the reader seeking personal development? If so, on what skill level? Will the publication be used be as a classroom text or as reference material from which lessons or lectures will be prepared? With the purpose clearly in mind, book selectors first should examine the preface and the foreword. If readers need an authoritative reference on record categories, for instance, books that claim in the preface to focus upon methodology would be inappropriate. If a book's purpose, stated in the introduction, is to interest children in family history, adults may not find the guide compelling or helpful.
Book selectors should examine a work's table of contents closely.
- Do the topics parallel the author's stated intent?
- Does the selection of material seem comprehensive?
- Is the division of sources or methods reasonable?
- Is there adequate emphasis on the time periods and regions that readers are interested in?
- Are the topics appropriate to the skill level of readers? (An introductory how-to guide that purports to help readers take the first steps in writing a family history need not detail the deciphering of colonial handwriting or discuss the change to the Gregorian calendar. On the other hand, such discussions would be necessary in a how-to book intended for intermediate or advanced researchers.)
Next, book selectors should read a dozen or more pages of the publication.
- Is the writing clear and concise and the style pleasing?
- Are the examples drawn from a wide spectrum of experience rather than only the author's personal research?
- Are descriptions adequate or do they provide only a superficial account of topics for the sake of selling the book?
- Does the text contain typographical and grammatical errors? (Carefully edited books do not.)
- Did the editing process include a reading of the manuscript by an authority in the subject matter?
- Is the text free from technical errors?
Accuracy of information can be tested by checking some portion of the text against credible sources. For example, a typical error in material that discusses census records would be a statement like the following: The 1880 Soundex indexes heads of households having children under ten; actually, the 1880 Soundex indexes heads of households having children aged ten or under. This and other inaccuracies should be noted and weighed in the evaluation. Technical errors indicate that the author consulted mediocre sources in preparing the text.
Those who select books should also consider the currency and life span of the text.
- Does the publication address twentieth-century sources adequately?
- Is the information timeless, or does the book's focus limit its life?
Research methods do not change drastically over the years, but "shortcuts" may, as may prices, addresses, and locations of collections. Instructional materials that devote a great amount of space to these subjects are severely limited in their life span unless they also provide a worthwhile account of methodology or sources.
Next, book selectors should examine the bibliography.
- Does it contain an adequate number of titles for supplemental reading?
- Are these titles quality publications?
- Are the references divided into categories or annotated so that readers can identify works that will be helpful?
- Are the citations properly noted so that the reader can obtain them easily?
Book selectors should appraise maps, illustrations, charts, and tables. Are they relevant and legible? Poorly reproduced records and maps frustrate readers. Not all reproductions need to be in color nor of such high quality that the publication's cost soars beyond reason; however, illustrations and other graphics must be decipherable and appropriate to the text.
The index should be comprehensive enough to permit readers to locate specialized topics within larger categories. Broad index entries such as "Census" or "Military" are inadequate. Secondary entries, such as "Cross Index to Selected City Streets and Enumeration Districts, 1910 Census," or "War of 1812 Bounty Land Records," enable readers to access desired information quickly.
Finally, do book reviewers in respected genealogical journals and newsletters recommend the publication? If several reviewers recommend the book with a caution on its treatment of the Social Security Death Index, for example, readers can judge the usefulness of the book with confidence. While book selectors should use caution in making decisions on the basis of promotional material or paid advertisements, a publisher's notice that includes endorsements from recognized professionals serves as one measure of quality.

PHILADELPHIA - Four Quakers scored in double figures to lead the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team to its first-ever postseason win. The second-seeded Quakers outlasted seventh-seeded Howard, 65-60, on Thursday night in the First Round of the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) at The Palestra.
Penn, which has now won 17 games for just the fourth time in program history, advances to play Fairfield at home on Saturday at 7 p.m. The third-seeded Stags topped sixth-seeded St. Francis (Pa.), 71-51 on Thursday in Connecticut. It will mark the first all-time meeting between Penn and Fairfield.
Senior captain Brianna Bradford set a program postseason record with a career-high five threes and finished with a team-best 16 points. She and junior center Courtney Wilson, who finished with a career-high 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting, sparked the Quakers off the bench. Those two alone outscored the Bison subs, 27-10.
In their first game in nine days, the Quakers got off to a slow start. Howard jumped out to a 10-1 lead in the first four minutes. But Bradford checked in and hit her first two threes of the night to spark a 20-4 run. Wilson added six points in that stretch and her last jumper had Penn on top, 21-14 at the 7:05 mark.
The teams traded baskets for the remainder of the half until head coach Mike McLaughlin called a timeout with eight seconds remaining. He drew up a play for sophomore Kathleen Roche who buried a three as the buzzer sounded and put Penn up 36-28 heading into the break.
The Bison nearly erased all that deficit within the first four minutes of the second half. Howard started 8-of-9 (88%) from three-point range on the night and a pair of early second-half threes closed the Penn advantage to 41-40.
Penn never relinquished the lead though. After a pair of free throws from junior captain Alyssa Baron, Wilson hit a three for a six-point lead with 14:11 to go.
Neither team missed much on the night and the Red and Blue once again traded baskets with Howard over the next several minutes. The lead was still six, 55-49, when sophomore Katy Allen sunk two free throws and Bradford drained another three for the largest lead of the night, 60-49, with 6:42 remaining.
Leading by 10, 62-52, with 3:12 to play, Howard put on an aggresive full court press. It led to a quick 8-0 run and the MEAC opponent was within 62-60 with 1:20 left.
Sophomore Keiera Ray came down with a big offensive rebound on the ensuing possession and that led directly to a lay-in from sophomore Kara Bonenberger for a four-point edge with 43 seconds remaining.
Howard had three shots from beyond the arc on their final possession, but none fell and the Quakers held on for their eighth non-league win of the season - second-most all-time.
Baron and Bonenberger each finished with 10 points. Baron and Wilson added a team-high five rebounds. Baron had five assists and Ray had four. Bonenberger and Wilson, who finished first and second in the Ivy League in blocks, respectively, had two apiece on the night.
In its fourth season, the WBI is a 16-team tournament split into two regions. Minnesota, who qualified for the WNIT this season, is the defending champion. The winner of the Penn-Fairfield matchup will play either top-seeded Detroit or No.5 seed College of Charlston in the WBI semifinals.

Solar energy installers are expecting a boom then sharp contraction of their businesses as the Abbott government prepares to take an axe to renewable energy support.
Consumers now get an upfront discount of about $600 a kilowatt of solar capacity that will probably end if the government adopts the recommendations of the Renewable Energy Target review led by businessman Dick Warburton.
A typical solar system costing $6000 will rise to $8000, according to Rob Grant, chief executive of Mark Group, while other industry estimates place the increase closer to half. Solar hot water systems will be as much as 40 per cent more expensive.
About 45,000 households added solar panels in the June quarter and a short-term surge of orders is expected before the government's decision on whether to lower the target for large- and small-scale renewable generation.
"Inside their first year, the Abbott government has gone out of its way to renege on their promise" to leave the target unchanged, Mr Grant said.
Removal of the support "will have a devastating impact on the industry", he said, adding his British-based company had invested tens of millions of dollars in Australia on the Coalition's pledge to retain bipartisan support for renewables. "I don't think they'll ever consider investing here again."
The government's ability to alter the target, though, may be limited. Palmer United senator Glenn Lazarus said reducing the target would be "irresponsible" and his party would block any move.
"The majority of Australians want Australia to move away from dirty fuel like coal and to increase our use of renewable energy sources," Senator Lazarus said.
Both NSW Labor and the Greens called on the Baird government to pass legislation requiring the state meet its 2020 target of supplying 20 per cent of power from renewables regardless of Canberra.
"My challenge to [NSW Environment Minister] Rob Stokes is to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to supporting renewables," Labor's upper house leader Luke Foley said.
"Without a state-based guarantee of protection over $11 billion of investment in the wind industry with the potential to create nearly 4000 jobs in NSW will be at risk if the RET is weakened or abolished," Greens MP John Kaye said.
"We base our response on current policy, not hypothetical situations, so we await the federal response," a spokesman for Mr Stokes said.
The Warburton review also recommends wrapping the GreenPower program into the energy target, probably killing a scheme that has about 600,000 customers signed up for additional renewable energy.

Historically, lung cancer has been viewed as a disease of men. Over the past 50 years, however, there has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of lung cancer in women – even as lung cancer rates in men have declined.
Lung cancer is now the most common cause of cancer death in American women, accounting for more than one-quarter of all cancer deaths. In 2010, there were 105,770 new cases of lung cancer in women, with more than 71,080 deaths – more than breast, uterine and ovarian cancer deaths combined.
The rise in female lung cancer incidence has long been attributed to more women using tobacco, but 20 percent of women who develop lung cancer have never smoked. In the United States, 15 percent to 20 percent of lung cancers occur in people who have never smoked, but interestingly, 70 percent to 80 percent of "never-smokers" with lung cancer are women.
We asked Dr. Patricia Thistlethwaite, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the University of California San Diego and the first female program director of thoracic surgery in the nation, to shed more light on what the U.S. Surgeon General's office has called a "contemporary epidemic."
Q: Does anything explain the rise in cases of lung cancer in women, but not men?
A: Several factors may be contributing to the increased prevalence.
First, before 1940 few women in the United States smoked, but the integration of women into the workplace during World War II led to an increase in tobacco consumption. The prevalence of smoking in American women peaked in 1965 at 33 percent and remains at 22 percent today. In contrast, more than half of American men smoked before 1965, but the prevalence has decreased to 23 percent today. Thus, over time, there has been a more marked decrease in smoking in men compared to women.
Second, there has been a significant increase in two types of lung cancer in women: bronchoalveolar carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, which has not been seen in the male population in this country. Both of these types of lung cancer occur in younger, nonsmoking individuals, particularly women. The cause for the huge increase is not known and is being studied.
Third, there are important molecular differences in lung cancers that are suspected to be responsible for increased susceptibility in women. Women exhibit decreased DNA repair capability and increased mutations in specific cancer genes such as p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and K-ras. Mutations in these genes are found at a much higher frequency in adenocarcinomas, particularly in women.
Finally, one of the most obvious biologic differences between men and women is hormonal and related to estrogen, a recognized factor in the development of other types of cancer. The role of estrogen and synthetic estrogens in lung cancer in women is under investigation and somewhat controversial. Estrogens have been shown to stimulate growth of lung cancer cells in tissue culture, yet clinical studies suggest that estrogen-progesterone supplementation probably promotes lung cancer rather than just estrogen alone.
Q: Are there significant biological differences in how lung cancer manifests itself in men and women? Or in how it is treated in women compared to men?
A: We know that: 1) women are younger at the time of diagnosis of lung cancer than men; 2) the proportion of adenocarcinoma and bronchoalveolar carcinoma is higher in women than in men; and 3) women are less likely to have a smoking history.
Lung cancer presents in a similar way in men and women. A typical presentation for lung cancer would be the development of a chronic cough that does not go away with antibiotic treatment and rest. Sometimes symptoms of lung cancer include coughing up blood, chest pain and weight loss. Women tend to seek less medical treatment than men, so lung cancer may present at a more advanced stage in females than in males.
Lung cancer treatment is the same for men and women. Early stage disease is treated with surgery, while intermediate stage disease is treated with a combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Advanced lung cancers are usually treated with chemotherapy alone.
There are ongoing clinical trials in San Diego hospitals, including the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, to study better ways to treat and cure lung cancer. These studies provide patients with a way to potentially benefit from state-of-the-art drugs and technologies, and to help the fight against lung cancer. Within the last several years, for example, a major advance in the field of lung cancer treatment has been the identification of specific genetic mutations associated with lung cancers. These "molecular fingerprints" make each patient's tumor unique. Drugs that target mutations in EGFR, ALK, and EML4-ALK are being used now to treat patients with lung cancer with good success. The discovery of these mutations and the design of drugs to combat tumors harboring these mutations is the result of clinical trials funded both by the National Institutes of Health and private agencies.
Q: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the nation. It kills nearly twice as many women as breast cancer every year and three times as many men as prostate cancer. Yet, lung cancer receives measurably less research funding than either prostate or breast ($221 million in categorical funding from the National Institutes of Health in 2011 compared to $284 million for prostate and $715 million for breast). Why do you think that is?
A: Lung cancer has been tremendously underfunded compared to other types of cancer. This is because lung cancer has traditionally been considered a "smoker's disease." In other words, the patient is blamed for getting the disease.
With the awareness that lung cancer is increasing in women nonsmokers, it is imperative that funding is made available to study the biology of lung cancer and to design effective cures. The fact that lung cancer remains the number one cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States speaks for itself.
During my lifetime, I have witnessed the dramatic decrease in deaths from many forms of cancer, particularly breast cancer. This has been due, in part, to grass-roots efforts of individuals who have been affected by breast cancer, either directly or by knowing someone with the disease. Awareness and advocacy leads to raising money for research, sharing a common goal to cure cancer, and a common voice to stimulate the National Institutes of Health to allocate funding for particular forms of lung cancer. As a physician and surgeon who treats patients with lung cancer, I strongly believe that more funding for prevention and research is needed to combat this deadly disease.
Finally, gender-based differences in lung cancer make it imperative that both men and women are included in clinical trials and that gender stratification is used. Better elucidation of female-male differences will suggest new avenues of research to benefit both men and women at risk for lung cancer.

New Orleans, LA (SportsNetwork.com) - Tyreke Evans stuffed the stat sheet, pouring in 41 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the New Orleans Pelicans' surprising 101-89 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.
Evans shot 14-of-26 from the field and 12-of-16 from the free-throw line for New Orleans, which had lost eight straight games. Luke Babbitt donated 12 points off the bench, while Darius Miller and Alexis Ajinca had 10 points apiece.
Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka scored 25 and 22 points, respectively, in the setback, while the other three Thunder starters combined for just eight points on 3-for-17 shooting. With the playoffs approaching, Russell Westbrook took the game off to rest his surgically repaired knee.
"I'm not making any excuses, they just beat us," said Durant. "They got whatever they wanted at the offensive end, and it felt like we were just out of it."
Oklahoma City has now blown two opportunities to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference following Sunday's loss to Indiana. The Thunder need a win Wednesday against Detroit or a Clippers' loss in either of their final two games to lock up the two seed.
Despite playing without six of its seven top scorers, New Orleans found a way to take down the playoff-bound Thunder behind Evans, who nearly matched Oklahoma City's fourth quarter total by himself. The Pelicans outscored the Thunder, 31-20, in the fourth, with Evans netting 17.
"We've been short-handed all year," Evans said. "I wasn't supposed to play tonight. My knee was bothering me, but I knew we needed a win bad. Coach talked about finishing the season strong. That's what we wanted to do tonight. It was a team effort."
New Orleans led 70-69 through three quarters, but it was tied at 77 after Durant's short jumper at 7:34.
Miller's 3-ball restored the lead for the home team. Anthony Morrow followed with a triple of his own and after the teams traded baskets over the next few possessions, Evans hit from deep for a 90-82 margin with just over four minutes remaining.
Oklahoma City had one final push, with Durant's 3-pointer with 2:08 to play pulling it within seven, but Babbitt countered with a three at the other end.
Earlier, Pelicans guard Austin Rivers and Thunder forward Nick Collison were both ejected for their roles in an altercation midway through the second quarter.
New Orleans led 23-21 after the first quarter, but trailed 46-45 at intermission.
Game Notes
The Pelicans had lost 10 straight in this series ... Anthony Davis (back spasms) and Eric Gordon (knee tendinitis) were inactive and will not play the rest of the season for New Orleans, while Brian Roberts is day-to-day with an ankle injury. Ryan Anderson, Jrue Holiday and Jason Smith had already been ruled out for the season ... Ibaka had 16 rebounds and a career-high five assists ... There were 15 ties and 13 lead changes.

As a person with Medicare, you have certain rights and protections. And it's worth knowing what they are.
You have rights whether you're enrolled in original Medicare – in which you can choose any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare – or Medicare Advantage, in which you get care within a network of health care providers. Such networks are run by private companies approved by Medicare.
Your rights guarantee that you get the health services the law says you can get, protect you against unethical practices and ensure the privacy of your personal and medical information. You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect at all times, and to be protected from discrimination.
You also have the right to get information in a way you understand from Medicare, your health care providers and under certain circumstances, Medicare contractors. This includes information about what Medicare covers, what it pays, how much you have to pay, and how to file a complaint or appeal. Moreover, you're entitled to learn about your treatment choices in clear language that you can understand, and to participate in treatment decisions.
One very important right is to get emergency care when and where you need it anywhere in the United States.
If you have Medicare Advantage, your plan materials describe how to get emergency care. You don't need permission from your primary-care doctor (the doctor you see first for health problems) before you get emergency care. If you're admitted to the hospital, you, a family member or your primary-care doctor should contact your plan as soon as possible. If you get emergency care you'll have to pay your regular share of the cost or co-payment. Then your plan will pay its share.
If your plan doesn't pay its share, you have the right to appeal.
In fact, whenever a claim is filed for your care, you'll get a notice from Medicare or your Medicare Advantage plan letting you know what will and won't be covered. If you disagree with the decision, you have the right to appeal.
For more information on appeals, you can read "Medicare Appeals," available at
medicare.gov/Publications. Or call (800) MEDICARE.
You can also file a complaint about services you got from a hospital or other provider. If you're concerned about the quality of the care you're getting, call the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) in California to file a complaint. A QIO is a group of doctors and other health care experts who check on and improve the care given to people with Medicare. Call the Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG) California Medicare Beneficiary Complaints Hotline at (866) 800-8749.
Many people with Original Medicare also enroll in Medicare prescription drug plans. Here, too, you have certain rights.
For example, if your pharmacist tells you that your drug plan won't cover a drug you think should be covered, or it will cover the drug at a higher cost than you think you're required to pay, you can request a coverage determination.
If the decision isn't in your favor, you can appeal.
You don't need a lawyer to appeal in most cases, and filing an appeal is free. You won't be penalized in any way for challenging a decision by Medicare or your health or drug plan. And many people who file appeals wind up with a favorable outcome.

DIVISION two outfit Glastonbury triumphed in the John Hughes Cup final after a hard fought game against Seaford at Hailsham Memorial Club.
The Glastonbury A-team narrowly missed the Division Two league title after finishing runner's up.
Seaford Legion's season ended with relegation into division three so this was truly a David versus Goliath contest.
The match opened with the Glastonbury captain Matt Smith up against Martin Coombes. Matt took an early lead and was never headed winning with ease 67-29
Next up for Glastonbury was Tokki Yamaguchi against Matt Pynn. It was a scrappy game and the frame was decided when Matt potted a difficult long pink to win the frame 56-44.
Grant Martins for the Glastonbury was in fine form. He recorded a 32 break and won the frame in emphatic style 69-3 against Ian Robb.
The vital fourth frame for both teams was contested between the Snooker League secretary Richard Barnicoat and Andy Wells.
Richard took an early lead, Andy kept in touch with some fortunate snookers.
The frame came down to the last few colours but Richard held his nerve and took the frame win on the pink 49-33.
It gave some consolation for Glastonbury having missed out on the league title.
Colin Angior refereed the match.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can
cause pain and bleeding. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is an invasive
procedure that shrinks or destroys uterine fibroids by blocking the artery that
supplies blood to them.
During a UFE procedure, a radiologist places a thin, flexible tube
called a catheter into the upper thigh and guides it into the uterine artery
that supplies blood to the fibroid(s). A solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is
then injected into the uterine artery through the catheter. Normal uterine
tissue remains unharmed, because it is not supplied by the affected
Uterine fibroid embolization is a treatment option for women who do
not have pregnancy plans. Although it is possible to become pregnant after UFE,
it is also possible for UFE to cause early menopause and infertility.

A SHORT time ago, a radio station north of the border decided to ask a collection of famous Scots where they were when Archie Gemmill waltzed past three Dutch defenders to score one of the World Cup's most iconic goals.
For Scotland, this was their JFK moment.
They contacted Asa Hartford, currently the chief scout and reserve team manager of Accrington Stanley - the latter a role he previously held at Blackburn Rovers.
They were a little taken aback by his reply.
"I was 10 yards to his left, shouting, 'Pass it to me, you greedy so and so!'" Hartford laughs now.
It is fair to say that, in the thick of the action, the phrase 'so and so' may have been adapted.
"What people don't realise is that Archie never scored goals like that," says Hartford.
"It wasn't exactly his trademark.
"I was the first to get to him on his celebration run and, if I hadn't, he would still have been running today.
"In the end, I was glad he didn't pass it to me!"
While Hartford played in all three games for Scotland in 1978, he would feature only once four years later in Spain.
But, despite the frustration at a lack of action in 1982, it is his first World Cup that remains a recurring nightmare for him - and for everyone else who was there.
Scotland's campaign in Argentina has gone down in history as one of the great World Cup fiascos.
They went into the tournament with arguably their strongest ever squad, but departed after the group stage amid chaos and ignominy.
Their boss, the late former Blackburn Rovers player Ally McLeod, will forever be remembered for his rather misguided pre-tournament predictions.
"He said we would be coming back from the World Cup with a medal and in the end we did, but it was a wooden one," recalls Hartford, the former Manchester City and Everton midfielder.
"I think the players wished he hadn't said it.
"There was a lot of hullabaloo. Before the tournament we were all unveiled at Hampden one at a time.
"Looking back on it, it should have been low profile. Even at the time I didn't feel comfortable.
"We had players like Kenny Dalglish, Joe Jordan, Bruce Rioch and Lou Macari.
"The World Cup should have been the highlight of my career but in the end it wasn't.
"You saw the problem between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy with the Republic of Ireland in 2002, all the disputes over the facilities, and you can multiply that for us.
"The advance party had been out there and we were supposed to be able to train at the facility where we were staying, near Cordoba.
"But Derek Johnstone injured his ankle on the pitch and in the end we had to commute to a place 30 kilometres away to train.
"We were promised an Olympic-sized swimming pool, too. But there was no water in it. A lot of the players weren't happy."
If things had started on a bad note, they would only get worse when the matches began.
A shock 3-1 loss to Peru was followed by a 1-1 draw with Iran. Even a 3-2 win over Holland could not save them from an early exit.
"We played Peru and didn't know anything about them," said Hartford, who has been part of Accrington's backroom staff for two years after working for Blackburn under Don Mackay and Kenny Dalglish in the early 1990s.
"We didn't know they had two flying wingers. You don't expect a dossier but we needed to know something about them.
"But at the same time we as players didn't perform.
"Then we had the situation with Willie Johnston being sent home for drugs.
"I think it was caffeine, which was banned in those days.
"Sending him home really demoralised the squad.
"After that, the Iran game was the worst I have ever been involved in.
"It was a World Cup game but it was played in front of around 12,000 in a 30,000 stadium and there was no atmosphere.
"We went out of the tournament there and then really.
"We could still have gone through if we had won by three clear goals against Holland, but when we were winning 3-1 Gordon McQueen, who wasn't playing in that game, went to the bar.
"He just couldn't face spending another two weeks out there."
Four years later, Hartford was left out of Scotland's opening game against New Zealand, figuring only in the 4-1 loss to Brazil - a game that saw Zico score with a fine free kick.
Scotland failed to get beyond the first round once more, while even Brazil had a surprise exit in the second group phase.
"Brazil were fabulous and we made the mistake of upsetting them by scoring first. We should have just tried to hold out for a 0-0!
"I was in the wall for the Zico free kick. You just saw it go in the top corner and thought, 'Oh, well done'. There was nothing else you could do.
"We were better organised under Jock Stein in 1982. But the squad just wasn't as good."

Did you know?
The steam ship SS Kakapo ran aground on Noordhoek beach in 1900 when the captain mistook Chapman's Peak for Cape Point in a big storm and turned left.
A leisurely ride on horseback along a desolate beach is the stuff of dreams, but on Cape Town's Noordhoek Beach, at the foot of the Chapman's Peak Pass, you'll be able to turn your dreams into reality.
Noordhoek is a long stretch of sand linking the town of Noordhoek with the village of Kommetjie. Soft sand, gentle dunes and the wild approach of the Atlantic Ocean against the backdrop of Chapman's Peak Pass and the mountains towards Simon's Town round off the scene.
A number of local stables offer horse riding at Noordhoek at 9am and 1pm, and another in the late afternoon (time is determined by the seasons). The excursion is a two-hour beach horse ride, which also caters for children from the age of 12 as well as inexperienced riders. Riding schools in the area also offer lessons for those wanting more than just a one-off horse riding experience.
The beach is not popular among bathers, but is often dotted with surfers, bodyboarders and kitesurfers when the waves are good. It's also a favourite beach for long walks with dogs.
The rides offer unparalleled scenery, a visit to the wreck of the Kakapo (on the beach) and wonderful birdwatching for twitchers thanks to the indigenous fynbos vegetation that fringes the beach.
Knowledgeable guides and well-behaved horses are the hallmark of the experience, which caters for groups of up to six riders at a time.
Apart from Noordhoek horse rides, there are a rich variety of activities, so you can really make a day of it, with an early-morning ride followed by some surfing, cycling or trout fishing. There are also some beautiful nature walks.
Restaurants and curio shops in the area offer fine cuisine and shopping to round off a day spent at Noordhoek.

What will it cost
The cost of a riding expedition varies according to which operator you use, but budget for around R500 per person.
Length of stay
A beach ride takes about two hours but you should arrive at least 45 minutes before departure time.
Where to stay
Noordhoek has a great selection of guest houses and B&Bs nearby

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The $260 million initial public offering of electronic music festival producer SFX Entertainment ( SFXE) signals that not only is the music playing in IPO markets, you've got to get up and dance. But this offering could also indicate a bubble-like mentality spreading in IPO's, as investors and bankers try to launch the next billion-dollar business on public stock markets. If the company's primary business is putting on electronic dance festivals, investors would do well to question whether they are arriving late to the party. SFX Entertainment is a deeply unprofitable business that faces large competitive and legal risks. Nevertheless, the company is selling shares in an unusual IPO at a price that gives the firm a valuation of over $1 billion. The company's founder Robert F.X. Sillerman, however, has a significant track record in the concert and promotion industry after creating LiveNation ( LYV), a company he sold to Clear Channel for over $4 billion dollars, and CKX, Inc., a vehicle he used to acquire rights to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate and the hit TV show American Idol. Sillerman sold CKX to Apollo Management in 2011. With SFX Entertainment, Sillerman is seeking to grow the electronic dance music
EDM industry, what used to be known as raves, into bigger venues and new markets through an ambitious slate of acquisitions and international expansion. The company's IPO also comes at one of the busiest times for share listings since the financial crisis five years ago, and at a time when stock investors have bid up the valuations of recent high profile listings, including Tesla ( TSLA), Zillow ( Z), Trulia ( TRLA), Facebook ( FB) and Angies List ( ANGI). It may be time for some investors to slow down. SFX Entertainment's risks include steep losses, competitive pressure, high debts and restrictive covenants, admittedly weak accounting controls and a business model that faces significant legal liability. In its IPO documents, SFX notes that drug use at the company's electronic music festivals makes it vulnerable to litigation and injunctions from local authorities that could effectively throw a wench in its business. Two people died at Electric Zoo, a festival SFX is seeking to take control of, this past Labor Day as a result of drug overdoses. SFX Entertainment's IPO is unusual from the start. The business model, while already posting severe losses, is untested and will fundamentally change after the company's share offering. In addition, SFX was incorporated on June 5, 2012. Its predecessor entity was started in July of 2011, making the billion dollar company just over two years old. SFX is planning to use over half of the proceeds of its offering to exercise previously agreed upon joint venture acquisitions, with the remainder going to working capital and other corporate purposes. Of the $260 million SFX offered in its listing, the company will use about $150 million on acquisitions of joint venture stakes in competing concert promoters ID&T, i-Motion GmbH Events, Totem Onelove Group, Made Event and EZ Festivals, in an international expansion of its concert venues. Those acquisitions are targeted at firms that produce some of the most prominent electric music festivals in the world, including Electric Zoo, Tomorrowland, and Nature One in Germany. While the venues may be increasingly popular and are generally growing in audience by over 20% a year, they are also going to put SFX in a very stressed financial condition. Will Losses Dry up a Debt Punch Bowl? On a pro forma basis including SFX's planned acquisitions, the company would post revenue of $92.3 million and negative $15 million in adjusted EBITDA, and a net loss of $71.3 million for the first six months of 2013. That contrasts with SFX's 2012 revenue of $238.6 million, adjusted EBITDA of $14.6 million, and net loss of $67.4 million. As part of the acquisition agreements, which contained a set of stipulations that hinged on SFX's eventual IPO, the company is planning a major increase in its debt.

Felling like iOS has become a big burden for no value.
iPhone 4 with iOS 5 worked well but iPhone 4s with its origin iOS 5 does support many of the apps and features. Its just SIRI that made the way for iPhone 4s and SIRI hangs a lot.
iphone 4s is not doing better in the market.
"Questionably-illegal nature." Lol. I love how certain aspects of "illegal nature" are not only allowed to be discussed here, but there are entire posts about the subject(s), and discussion is encouraged.
If Grooveshark is perceived by some as stealing music...why is it allowed to be discussed? If this had anything to do with a certain other topic that we cannot even mention the name of here, we would not only not be allowed to discuss it, but are posts would be edited or deleteted entirely.....Double standards....so strange.
I use Grooveshark with the Groovin' greasy scrobbler for Chrome A LOT. If I could sign in and play my playlists this would be great, though it matches Last.fm for iPhone's functionality whilst being free so that's nice.
Pandora + skip hack
Don't know if it's just me, but when I save it to home screen there is no preset logo so you end up with an ugly screenshot icon. Also doesn't hide the address bar when you load it, so it's not fully optimised. Works though so I can't knock it on that basis.
Siri hangs while assisting. i had to reboot my device again and again.
Siri is not recognizing my accent properly and does something different than assisted.
It is better to do self rather assisting,

Despite all of the hard work Daniel Murphy did in the off-season and in Spring Training to be the starting first baseman, it will not come to pass on Opening Day. Murphy suffered a grade one knee sprain in a rundown in yesterday's game.
It looks to be Mike Jacobs' role now, with some of Fernando Tatis taking over against left-handed pitchers. It does not appear that the Mets will call up Ike Davis.
Mets fans can't help but think this might be the start of another year like 2009, when seemingly all of the Mets starters, except Luis Castillo, went on the disabled list. They can only hope it's an isolated incident and won't be as contagious as Francisco Rodriguez's former pink eye incident.
Meanwhile, it looks like Jose Reyes will not be available for Opening Day, either. The report is that he could return to the team as early as the first full weekend of the season. He will probably be placed retroactively on the 15-day DL. That means, by rule, he cannot return within five days of the start of the season.
The good news is Reyes played against some more minor leaguers, went 1-for-5 again at the plate and made a couple of good defensive plays. He also made a head-first slide. So, his rehab seems to be going well.

Damn these are expensive! Cute tho.
One time I saw a clippings pack for $50.00. So I emailed the seller and tried to get him to lower the price but he never did. So I never got it. It kills me to see them priced so high cause I want them all but not if they are that expensive. It is a good thing I have most of those.

The nation's first black president, Barack Obama rode a euphoric wave of "Yes we can" into the White House in 2008, although his approval ratings have plummeted in recent years as the economy continues to struggle and unemployment remains high.
He formally declared his intention to run for re-election in April 2011.
Born Barack Hussein Obama on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu to Ann Dunham and Barack Obama, Sr. Dunham, grew up in Wichita, Kan., where her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression.
Obama, Sr., was born of Luo ethnicity in Nyanza Province, Kenya, and met Obama's mother while studying at the University of Hawaii in Manoa. They married in February 1961, but divorced when he was a young child. Obama's father died in a car accident in 1982.
In 1966, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, another East–West Center student from Indonesia. A year later, the family moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, where Obama's half-sister Maya Soetoro Ng was born. Several incidents in Indonesia left Dunham afraid for her son's safety and education so, at the age of 10, Barack was sent back to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents. His mother and sister later joined them.
While living with his grandparents, Obama enrolled in the esteemed Punahou Academy, excelling in basketball and graduating with academic honors in 1979.
After high school, Obama studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years. He then transferred to Columbia University in New York, graduating in 1983 with a degree in political science.
After working in the business sector for two years, Obama moved to Chicago in 1985. There, he worked on the South Side as a community organizer for low-income residents in the Roseland and the Altgeld Gardens communities.
He entered Harvard Law School in 1988 and met Michelle Robinson, an associate at Sidley & Austin law firm in Chicago, the next year. The two married on Oct. 3, 1992. They moved to Kenwood, on Chicago's South Side, and welcomed two daughters: Malia (born 1998) and Sasha (born 2001).
Obama's advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate as a Democrat. He won election in 1996 and, four years later, made an unsuccessful Democratic primary run for the U. S. House of Representatives.
Undeterred, he ran for U.S. Senate in 2004 and beat diplomat and former presidential candidate Alan Keyes.
In February 2007, Obama made headlines when he announced his candidacy for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. After being locked in a tight battle with Hillary Clinton, Obama won the Democratic bid and then defeated GOP nominee John McCain in a historic victory, becoming the country's first African-American president.
As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 and the Job Creation Act in 2010. He also signed his controversial health care reform package into law, repealed the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and ordered the military operation that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden in May 2011.
Recent polls, however, put his approval ratings at around 40 percent as concerns mount over the country's struggling economy.
On The Issues:
Defense --Obama came through on a campaign promise to end the war in Iraq, and was behind the May 2011 operation that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. He's also laid out plans to begin troop withdrawal in Afghanistan.
Energy -- Obama wants to raise fuel efficiency standards, and has doubled the number of hybrid vehicles in the federal government's fleet. In 2010, he announced a decision to expand domestic offshore oil and gas exploration in Alaska, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and off the east coast of the United States.
Health Care -- Congress passed Obama's landmark health care reform law in March 2010. The package expanded health care access to the uninsured, did away with preexisting condition stipulations, made insurance companies pay for more services and requires all Americans to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
Jobs -- In response to the recession, Obama signed into law an economic stimulus package shortly after taking office featuring large amounts of infrastructure spending, funding for states, tax cuts and other stimulative measures. After the 2010 midterm elections,

Reviews of this property
Highly raccomended!
The house is very nice and clean and the room is just like in photos with a pretty balcony onto the street. Sagrada and metro are close and the neighborhood is well served!
Maria is a kind and discreet person.
Casa pulita e in ordine! Aveva tutto il necessario anche se noi l'abbiamo usata solo ed esclusivamente per dormire. Posizione ottima! Fermata della metro vicinissima e in 10 minuti a piedi ti ritroverai davanti alla Sagrada Familia! Nelle vicinanze ci sono bar, ristoranti e supermercato. María é gentilissima e disponibile..era come se non ci fosse neanche! Consigliatisssssssimo
Simpática y atenta. Respetuosa. Todo limpio, recogido, precioso. El sitio muy bien, el metro cerca. La habitación perfecta.
We had a real nice stay at Maria! The flat and bathroom was small but clean. The real advantage was the place of the flat. It is central and close to the subway and the Sagrada Familiar! Maria was seen just once we arrived and she is a real nice and kind person! So finally we can recommend this place, although it is not the quietest one but you want to to get up and discover beautiful Barcelona :)
La casa esta muy chula y bien ubicada. Te sientes como en casa. María es un encanto y se preocupa por tu bienestar. Merci!!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Barcelona!
Maria ist super nett und war sehr flexible was die An- und Abreise betraf! Das Zimmer war schön und mit allem ausgestattet...Allerdings sehr laut.
Preis/Leistung war aber super!
Gerne wieder :)
We spend great time in Barcelona! Maria speks fluent english, helped us to plan our stay. It was my first reservation via Wimdu, I didn't know what expect, but everything was fine. We had view to Sagrada Familia, neighbourhood was quiet, near to subway. We highly recommend Maria as host.

This has been taken from this website:
I am using the modules 'oauth 1.0.1', 'oauth-python-twitter 1.0' and 'twitter 1.14.2'. These have been installed to Python 3.3 using Pip. There no longer seems to be a standard package called 'twitter.py' like the one used in the above link, but I am presuming that 'twitter 1.14.2' is an evolution of that.
When I run the code I get the following error:
- Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python33\nettest.py", line 4, in <module>
import oauthtwitter
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\oauthtwitter.py", line 17, in <module>
from twitter import Api, User
ImportError: cannot import name Api
I understand that the error itself is being generated because the oauthtwitter module is trying to reference something within the 'twitter' module called 'api' that it cant find, however I can see than an API module of the twitter package has been installed.
Can anyone see what is going wrong here?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/9/2013 (1422 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I saw something terrifying when I looked in the mirror last night. It was a ghost standing behind me looking over my shoulder from a distance. I have never believed in ghosts in my whole life, but this person was known to me -- my dead grandfather -- and he was standing behind me shaking his finger in warning. I'm not a kid anymore, but I felt like a very bad girl as he was doing this.
I know why he was doing it. Back in my bedroom was a man who is my lover, but is married to my cousin. I know that's terrible, but she doesn't sleep with him any more and I'm lonely and he's a sweet guy. I want to defy the ghost, but I'm shaken. My grandfather knows how dangerous my affair is. He got into an affair and lost his whole family because of it, even his daughter -- my mother. Am I imagining things? It was a little misty in the mirror, but it was definitely my grandpa I never saw again after he got kicked out of the family. What should I do? Is it real or just a figment of my imagination? -- Freaking Out, North End
Dear Freaking Out: If you had been napping and this was the middle of a dream sequence, or if there really was a "ghost," the same message is coming through. You're feeling guilty and worried about your affair, especially since it's within the family. You know the consequences everyone suffered over your grandpa's affair. The vivid memories of your grandfather is bringing all this up. So, stop taking the same chance your grandfather took, which ended with his losing many people he loved including grandchildren like you.
By the way, the guy you're sneaking around with is "weak" not "sweet." Those are two very different concepts often confused by people who are lonely and lust-blinded. If he were truly sweet, he would have worked it out with his wife or parted honourably instead of cheating on her.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I ate so much at a dinner with my new girlfriend, she said, "There's something wrong with you." Hey, I was up for a pig-out and I found out she's a great cook. I went back for second and third helpings and could barely do anything but watch TV and sleep the rest of the night. I do a have a weight problem. I'm only about 30 pounds overweight now, but I was 85 pounds overweight before I went to my weight-loss group. I was pretty fat. I'm 19. I lost the weight so I'd be more attractive to girls, and it worked. My girlfriend says she's afraid I'm going to stop losing now because she cooks so well. Before we went to sleep she said she wasn't cooking for me any more. Isn't that extreme? -- Food Lover, St. Boniface
Dear Food Lover: Extreme or not, this girl is determined not to have a re-fattened boyfriend. You freaked her out with one of your old-style pig-outs. Could you have been testing your girlfriend, as in, "Will you still love me if I overeat like this and become obese again because you're such a good cook?" See the convenient blame off-load in that thought process?
You've been warned: If her cooking for you causes you to make a U-turn and gain back the weight she is not going to join you on that journey. You need to have a serious talk with your weight-loss leader and discuss the reason you pigged out in front of this young woman to the point where you could barely move, let alone have a sexy evening. Also, talk to your doctor about referring you to a psychiatrist to work out your deepest reasons for overeating.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I must have walked 100 miles this last weekend because I found out my wife has a relationship with her old lover -- a guy -- she has been hiding. My wife and I are a lesbian couple. I knew something was up, so I went through her drawers. There I found a printed-off email love letter, dated (last) month, under her socks in her second drawer. What was she thinking? Does she want to start seeing him again? His last sentence was "We have to keep seeing each other because, as you said to me last week, we will never stop loving one other." What now? -- Broken-Hearted, Winnipeg
Dreams Shattered: The 100-mile walks accomplish nothing except to make you tired enough to get through another night. Just hand your wife the letter and say, "We have to talk about this. You go first." No answer? Say: "It's obvious you've started seeing your old boyfriend." She may deny everything, in which case ask her to see a relationship counsellor with you where the truth will inevitably come out. Also ask her why she saved the letter -- open like that -- in a place that could be so easily found. She may break down and confess she wants out of your marriage. Then you need professional help. Breaking up a marriage still hurts terribly, but a good counsellor can give you tools to make the hurting shorter.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/4/2013 (1583 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There are, we are told, only two options. Either we stop burning fossil fuels before our carbon dioxide emissions drive the planet's average temperature up a full 2 degrees C, in which case we will push the world into the biggest-ever recession. Or we continue to burn fossil fuels and push the planet into runaway warming, with lethal consequences for a large part of the human race.
The 2008 bank crash that triggered the recent recession was caused mainly by reckless investment that created a bubble in house prices. When the bubble burst, hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of investments suddenly became worthless. The losses were so great that they nearly brought the whole banking system down.
This time, the problem is a carbon bubble. The market valuation of the world's 200 biggest oil, gas and coal companies is about $4 trillion, a figure based on the assumed value of their confirmed reserves that are still in the ground. Or, more precisely, a figure based on the assumption that they will eventually be able to sell all those reserves to customers who want to burn them.
On the strength of that assumption, the fossil-fuel companies have been able to take on $1.5 trillion of debt, and last year alone they spent $647 billion in the search for even more oil, gas and coal reserves. But what if they will never be able to sell all their reserves? What if the need to avoid runaway warming forces governments to curb the burning of fossil fuels so that much of those reserves has to stay underground forever?
This is the focus of a new report titled Unburnable Carbon 2013. The report's authors, the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics and the Carbon Tracker Initiative, have the support of organizations such as the HSBC and Citi banks, the Standard and Poor's rating agency and the International Energy Agency.
Their conclusion is that if we are to have a 50 per cent chance of stopping the warming before 2 degrees C, then at least two-thirds of the currently listed fossil-fuel reserves will have to stay in the ground permanently. If they cannot be burned, then they have no economic value. Therefore, the market valuation of the fossil-fuel companies is three times higher than it should be.
The report assumes rationality will prevail and that at some point, a limit will be imposed on the burning of fossil fuels. In this new reality, the debt burden of the fossil-fuel companies becomes unsustainable and there is a financial meltdown that dwarfs 2008. Global warming is held to 2 degrees C, but at the cost of the mother of all recessions.
The other option is that no controls are imposed on burning fossil fuels and the carbon bubble does not burst until the warming breaks through the two-degree limit and triggers the natural feedbacks that will carry us inexorably up to 6 degrees C. That implies mass death and possibly the collapse of civilization by the end of the century, but the fossil-fuel reserves will retain their assumed value for the meantime and there will be no financial crash.
This is the scenario the market is betting on, and at the moment, most of the evidence supports that wager. The ideological and commercial interests that oppose action on climate change have triumphed in the United States and Canada, and without the Americans, decisive action is hard to imagine.
The denial campaign has not explicitly defeated science elsewhere, but four years of recession in Europe have had much the same effect, sapping the will of governments to spend money fighting climate change. Last week, for example, the European Parliament refused to fund a scheme to rescue the carbon-emissions trading scheme, once the centrepiece of the EU's climate strategy.
In big, rapidly developing countries such as China and India, the race for growth takes priority over cutting carbon emissions. And just when you think things couldn't get worse, along comes shale gas to expand the fossil-fuel reserves even further.
It's a grim choice: either financial meltdown if we act decisively to halt climate change, or physical meltdown if we don't. But there is, unfortunately, a third alternative. In fact, it's the likeliest outcome by far.
First, we go on growing our emissions at the current rate (three per cent per year) for the next couple of decades, and the fossil fuel industry thrives. Then, when it's already too late and we have crossed the two-degree limit, the actual warming (which always lags the growth in emissions by a decade or more) frightens us into taking action at last.
So we lurch into a crash program to cut fossil-fuel use -- and suddenly the market wakes up to the fact that a lot of those reserves will have to stay in the ground forever. If you liked the sub-prime mortgage fiasco in 2008, you'll positively love this one.
It's not either Disaster A or Disaster B. It's first one and then the other, interlocking and mutually reinforcing. And Disaster B will mean there's no money left to do anything about Disaster A.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 9.14.12
"Apple proudly unveils the new iRRELEVANT."
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed that contains what could be my last Jon Hamm's humongous penis reference. (It absolutely won't be.) But first, we've got Selma Blair giving attachment parenting a whirl, using Mayim Bialik's new homeopathic and sustainable baby wash product, Maternamist,™ as well as Verne Troyer at [Insert short stack joke here], which brings me right back around to the aforementioned Dong Draper *tips cap,* which apparently the Boston Red Sox liked enough to toss up on the jumbotron, prompting Bill Cosby to reply, "On you missed it? It was exactly like this."
