In February I upgraded to DSL though PeoplePC from their dial up service. I have been a member since 2003. The modem quit working in July and I was sent a replacement one. I was told that as long as I sent the bad modem back I would not be charged. I sent the bad modem back using the box that the new modem came in and shipped it through FedEx using the pre-printed return label. This month (October) PeoplePC charged my credit card $49.95. I checked the FedEx tracking, since I had the original receipt, and they said that it had arrived on July 29th.
I then called PeoplePC customer service and was told that there was nothing that they would do, even after I spoke to a manager, and that they were going to charge me for the modem because their records show that they did not get it. I gave them the FedEx tracking number and they said that it was shipped to someplace else and not them. I used the pre-printed return label that they sent me!
I then told them that if the charges were not refunded that they would lose a long time customer. But the gentleman on the phone did not seem to care even when I told them I would file a credit card dispute. When I got off the phone, I went online and filed a credit card dispute the same day. This was on October 9th, so I have not heard anything back yet.
Update 10/17/2010. My credit card reversed the charges due to the information that I gave them. PeoplePC promptly shut off my internet service on 10/17/2010 and tried to charge me another $45 for disputing the charge. I called my credit card company about it and told them what happened. They said that they will block any charges that PeoplePC tries to put on the card as they are no longer providing me the service and are not authorized to charge my card as of today.
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE -- Two months ago, which was in the middle of November 2007, I cancelled PeoplePC internet Service by phone. Today I suddenly found that they continue charging me for the service. So I called them, what did they say? They said they had no record for my cancellation and asked me of the cancellation number!! I do not know when I cancel their service. They would give customer the cancellation no., and they didn't give me my cancellation no. two months ago!! At last, they gave me today's cancellation no. But where is my money for the last two months' service which I didn't use. How mean they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mistakenly tried a 30 day free trial of PeoplePC. The service was okay, but I decided to stick with my other provider. I had to email the company to get a phone number to call, to cancel. Here is the number 1-866-772-6277. It was easy enough to get through, but the customer service reps do not speak clear English (imagine that!!). They pressure you into accepting 2 more months of free service, and they lower the monthly price after that. Okay, so I call to cancel again before the time is up, and it is more of the same.
And, because you can barely understand the CSR, you don't really know what you are agreeing to. I just wanted to cancel!! Then they try to get you to keep the PeoplePC email address, for a fee of $1.50 per month. It goes on and on. I am now convinced that these companies benefit greatly from the consumer not being able to understand the CSRs. As far as I am concerned, this is horrible customer service. They make it nearly impossible to cancel. I will never try PeoplePC again!!
Recently, I got a mailer from PeoplePC containing a CD-ROM and an offer of "unlimited Internet access for just $5.47 a month." I was interested in a plain vanilla ISP, but I dislike proprietary dialers. I was a bit wary when I opened the cardboard mailer and saw that they touted a "Smart Dialer." I always set up my own shortcuts using Windows DUN.
So instead of installing the software on the CD-ROM, I went online and went to the PeoplePC website. The same offer was there on the site: "PeoplePC Unlimited $5.47/mo. for 3 months, then only $10.95/mo." There was also an option to try for free for 30 days. So I clicked. And it seems I had actually begin the process at some time in the past; the website remembered me and asked if I wanted to continue registration.
Eventually, I was asked for a credit/debit card, billing address and phone number, which I dutifully provided. I eventually got to a page that let me begin downloading the PeoplePC software. The red flag went up in my mind, as I had already decided I didn't want to use 3rd party software to connect. But I downloaded it anyway, figuring I could just get through to the end and then set up my own Windows DUN connection.
But after the software downloaded, it then executed on its own and presented me with the Terms of Service, with two buttons at the bottom labeled "Agree" and "Disagree." At this point I was getting cold feet, so I clicked on "Disagree." A dialog box popped up saying "You must click 'Agree' in order to use PeoplePC" - in other words: I COULD NOT DISAGREE TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND CANCEL THE PROCESS.
After clicking disagree 5 times and going in a circle 5 times, I just cancelled the app. I thought that would be the end of it. I checked my email as part of my daily routine, and found TWO notices from PeoplePC welcoming me to the service!!! THE SERVICE I HAD NEVER AGREED TO. I fired off an email to their Customer Service stating that I had not agreed to the Terms of Service, I had never logged on to PeoplePC and I had not intended to create an account. I also informed them I would be advising my bank not to accept charges from them.
But I was too slow. My bank statement is already showing the $1 transaction from PeoplePC that companies used to verify your credit/debit card accounts (just a verification transaction so far). They set the billing process in motion before I had even agreed to an account. I got an email back saying that I could not cancel an account by email. I would have to call a phone number and speak to a person to do this. GRRRRR. BUT PEOPLEPC CAN SET UP MY ACCOUNT AND START BILLING COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN.
Furthermore, the hours of operation for this number are M-F during daytime business hours. No way to speak to someone on the weekend or at night. Dear readers, you need to avoid this company at all costs. Their process does not let you disagree to Terms of Service once you start applying. They ask for your credit card information first, before you can even look at the fine print, much less agree or disagree to terms. This is not the way to run a business. Please learn from my mistake.
FARMINGTON, MISSOURI -- We are really getting tired of getting disconnected from the internet or seeing the page that says, "This page cannot be displayed". And it always says that it is due to our internet connection or that we are not connected when we are connected. We are starting to believe that AT&T was better than you guys and that we should never have switched just to save money. We have come to the conclusion that cheaper is not always better!!
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- RE: Past Due notice on account # **. Payments were made to this account on 1/17 for $10.95 (**) and 2/13 for $12.95 (**), on our Bank of America account and 3/19 for $12.95 (**); 4/10 for $12.95 (**); 4/18 for $12.95 (**); and 6/19 for $10.95 (**) on our Texas First account as billed. That's 6 months of payments for 6 months of service in 2007. I have not received billing for July as yet. Further more it appears that you over charged us for four of those payments by $2 for a total overpayment $8.00…almost another full month of service!
You say you never received/posted the 6/19 check and have been dunning us for a past due amount of $10.95. While we may owe for July, now half over, your accounts are in error on several other areas: 1. the phone line says we are paid to date when I call to check on balances (as of July 5); and 2. the online service keeps trying to dun us for 6 payments through a charge card or checking account debit for the last 6 months!
After 3 calls to your 800 number, I still have not received satisfactory service from you company and have been shut out of my account since July 3. We have gone to a cable modem service. I called to cancel the account yesterday, July 10, and they informed me that we were $23.95 overdue, but I have only received a past due notice for $10.95 yet the automatic phone service informed me that I was paid up on July 9. Please cancel the account and send me a final CORRECTED statement and make appropriate corrections to your records.
In January 2006 I got an invitation to try PeoplePC internet service for half-price for six months. I was using an old Windows 98 computer, and I just wanted a cheap internet service for this machine. I had no intention of keeping the service. In fact, I made a note in my computer to cancel the service on June 6 so I would not be charged full price for another month. I gave them my credit card number and tried to download the software. When I couldn't download, I called technical support.
With my computer being an older model, it did not have the resources to carry the load. She told me the only way it would load would be for me to upgrade my computer. I didn't want to put the money into it, and, since I couldn't download it, I wanted my money back. She told me they would refund my $44.95, but due to bookkeeping technicalities, it would not show on my credit card statement until June. My June credit card bill came in and no refund from PeoplePC. July came and no refund.
I called People PC and spoke to a person who was clearly from India, and told him what had happened. He was so sorry there was nothing he could do because no one had put any message on my account that I would be getting a refund. He did assure me that my account was not active and had never been active and I would not be charged any more money by PeoplePC. I told him that I knew I was not going to be charged anymore. But I wanted my money back that was promised, and he simply told me I would not be getting my money back. I feel I have been ripped off for a service I did not get.
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- My children received a new computer for Christmas. In their effort to get online, one of my children used my credit card to establish an account with PeoplePC. I discovered this the same day that it occurred and immediately contacted PeoplePC the same day requesting that they cancel the account and provide a refund. I was given a tracking number for e-mail correspondence - (Your Email Tracking Number is: **) - which changed with each e-mail correspondence.
I was instructed to contact a phone number and select member services, which does not exist on the 'new' phone menu. Upon return from a business trip that lasted 10 days, I did contact PeoplePC by phone and was told that I had only 7 days to cancel my account, and could not expect a refund. I then faxed PeoplePC's home office with a copy of the e-mail log attempting to cancel the account and have received no response in over 5 business days.
To top this all off, there was supposed to be a 30-day free trial before billing began. My son registered on Jan 3rd and the billing was posted Jan 4th. This company exhibits the worst customer service of any online company I've dealt with.
GALVESTON/HOUSTON, TEXAS -- Watch out! PeoplePC Internet Services sound like a great deal, but here in Galveston Texas, the service is sporadic and you can get bumped off anytime! I signed up for a 30 DAY FREE TRIAL and then called to CANCEL easily within and way before my 30 days were up. THEY tell you that they will give you two more free months and this is MISLEADING.
Even though you told them to cancel, they keep your account open for two more months and then hit you with another monthly charge. You have to call them AGAIN and then they act like you never told them to cancel in the first place. You have to cancel AGAIN and they won't refund your money, saying they can only cancel your account once.
So, moral of the story is: If you CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT, ASK FOR A CONFIRMATION NUMBER. Do not take the 2 additional free months. AND: When you call them, they have a recording that's say that they are experiencing "high volume calls" and it's better for you to call back. DO NOT HANG UP, STAY ON THE LINE. The wait is not that long at all (6 minutes). They are just trying to buy themselves time for their misleading, unethical policies. I will never recommend them to anyone!

Fund to Help Dance Program Step Up
On December 8, 2012, the American University Dance Program presented Initiation in conjunction with CityDance at Strathmore. The evening of dance was created to announce and celebrate the Dr. Naima Prevots Guest Artist Fund for the AU Dance Program.
The evening's program featured performances by the American University Dance Company, students and faculty of the AU Dance Program, and special guests from the CityDance Conservatory, under the direction of AU alum Lorraine Spiegler. Christopher K. Morgan & Artists also performed special work highlighting the AU dance apprenticeship program.
Proceeds from the event went to the newly formed Dr. Naima Prevots Guest Artist Fund. Professor Emerita Prevots, founder of the AU Dance Program and a pillar in establishing the AU Department of Performing Arts, originally came to AU in 1967. During her tenure, she was known for bringing in guest artists to enhance the dance students' education, and this fund is being established to continue that legacy at AU.
"AU has a long history under her tenure of having very prestigious guest artists," says Melanie George, director of the AU Dance Program. "Our dance company, as well as the general student population, really benefits when we bring in guest artists, such as Twyla Tharp, Meredith Monk, and Anna Sokolow."
"It is really important to work with people who have a variety of methods. Christopher K. Morgan (the current artist in residence) has one style, and they get very used to working with him. The same goes with me. They understand our beats, they understand how we move. But that is just two ways of teaching in a world of different methods. For our students, having a variety is part of that liberal arts education they are experiencing.
"The second thing is, any of them who are going to go out and have careers as dancers need to have experience with other methods. They are not going to only dance for Melanie George for the rest of their lives."
The Dr. Naima Prevots Guest Artist Fund will make it possible for George to invite several guests each year. It will support paying their fees, lodging, and other expenses. Past guest artists include Joan Meggit and Leanne Schmidt, two professional dancers who came to AU to choreograph pieces for AU students last year.
George explains, "For instance, this past weekend, there was a concert at the Kennedy Center called JUBA! Masters of Tap and Percussive Dance, and one of the companies in that concert was Jump Rhythm Jazz Project, with whom I worked in the past. This fund allows me to be able to invite people in and compensate them for their work."
The fund's benefit concert will also provide a valuable opportunity for students to showcase their work in the fall. "We are getting back into the swing of having a full season and not just a main-stage spring event," says George. "We have our Choreolab in the fall, but that is a different event, in that it is a workshop performance. I think it is important for (students) to have multiple performing opportunities. The spring dance concert is a wonderful main stage event, but the question is 'what happens for the rest of the months of the year?' We have this wonderful repertory that we are able to present, so we would like to give the students multiple opportunities to perform it."
The recent Initiation concert was the first of a number of events related to the fund. There will also be fund-related events surrounding the AU spring dance concert. On April 20, there will be a pre-show panel discussion with distinguished alumni, centered on leadership in the arts, and specifically women's leadership in the arts as a direct result of Prevots' legacy.
"If you look at all the major dance organizations in D.C., and really across the country, there is someone in a leadership role that came out of Dr. Prevots' graduate dance program," states George. "Joes Movement Emporium has Brooke Kidd, Joy of Motion Dance Center has Heidi Schimpf, the Kennedy Center has Christine Stone Martin, the Washington Ballet, Dance USA, Jacob's Pillow, and the list goes on and on. I am part of that legacy as well."
AU arts management professor Ximena Varela will moderate the panel at the April 20 event. After students perform their work, a reception and toast to Prevots will follow.
For more information, visit the AU Dance Program site. To donate to the Dr. Naima Prevots Guest Artist Fund for the AU Dance Program, contact Melanie George at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Somebody else is supposed to be in charge now.
I didn't get a chance to watch the game, but I checked the score when it was 84-80 OKC in the 4th quarter. What went wrong after that moment?
Durant/Westbrook started scoring, Pacers started turning it over.
I hope we are able to get some kind of offense off the bench at the deadline, otherwise we will probably lose in the first round. Mahinmi and Hans I guess can stick, but we need a player who can consistently score 10 points off the bench a night.
Played one of the best games of the year, just ran into a much better team. I cant even ***** about Franks rotations.
Well, it was a good game for the Pacers. It's too bad that we couldn't get a W out of it.
But you're not going to get a lot of Ws out of OKC in their home when Durant and Westbrook play that good during the 4th. And you certainly aren't going to do it without your best player.
All in all, I was happy and encouraged by this game
We only had 7 turnovers and we shot 45%. Looking purely at stats it looks like we would have won the game. I guess our defense didn't step up enough. Only 13 assists certainly didn't help though.
I'll keep saying that when (and if) DJ starts playing like he has shown that he can (ie. not terrible), this bench will prove that it's much better than last year's.
Also, I don't think that we will lose in the first round with Danny Granger. But time will tell, as always
Also, just a note, for the dozens of guests browsing this forum, you should join so you can give your input on the team.
I just feel that most of the bench's issues fall on Augustin
Unfortunately, DJ has lost all confidence in his shot, which does not bode well for the 2nd unit.
@haralabob: The NBA playcalling down the stretch has been comical. They keep on trying to get their bigs vs OKCs bigs.
DJ actually wasn't entirely worthless, I don't think you can put the blame on him this game.
Our defense in the first half was bad, and our offense in the second half was terrible. Both Hibbert and West were having success in the first half and we kind of went away from that in the second.
I was just talking generally. It would just be nice if DJ was to succeed here
DJ was pretty decent today, he was agressive and made some nice passes.
He had a good stretch for a minute or two, other than that eh.
Free Throws: 11 of 13 for the Pacers, 25 of 30 for the Thunder. That might have had something to do with it.
Frank played the starters a little more than normal, I think they were gassed at the end of the game.
Gerald Green actually looked half-ways decent
I knew Roy Hibbert was done after that Westbrook block. Just crushed his measly little confidence into oblivion.
Silver lining?
Durant has only shot under 40% four times this year......PG on Durant for most of the game had him shoot 8-24...shooting for .375 FG%.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Ok, I finally saw the Westbrook rejection. I just...don't want to talk about it.
Obligatory Free Lance post.......Lance was 4-8 from the Field....1-1 from the 3pt line, didn't turn the ball over and was the only Player on the court with a positive +/- ( +4 ).
Just sayin'
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.

Category: M.I.A. baby
*UPDATE! The M.I.A. baby had been named, and the name is….Ikhyd (first erroneously reported as Ickitt) Edgar Arular. Take that, Bronx Mowgli and Moxie Crimefighter! Congratulations, we think.
The M.I.A. baby is due on Sunday, the same day the nine months pregnant pop artist is set to perform at the Grammy Awards. But the event we're really anticipating is the announcement of the M.I.A. baby name.
Ever since Frank Zappa named his children Moon Unit and Dweezil, crazy baby names have become a rocker institution. Listen up, M.I.A.: Lesson 1 in naming your rocker or rapper baby is that you can never choose a regular old first name. Instead, consider the following baby-naming lessons from the musical mommies and daddies who came before you:
Name Your Baby After Another Musician
There are lots of good choices among the Musician Names. Your fellow rockers seems to be the name of someone cool and dead, as detailed by the following choices:
CASH (as in Johnny) – "Slash" Hudson from Guns N' Roses
DJANGO (as in Reinhart) — Siobhan (Bananarama) Fahey & Dave Stewart
EVERLY (as in Brothers) — Anthony (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Kiedis

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
There are some terms in IT that make their way straight into the hype stratosphere. Unfortunately "big data" is one of these. I see very few systems that I'd contend are actually "big data". However, I endlessly see the term applied to data stores that are trivial by today's standards. This might help the marketing teams but it's sad none-the-less. There are some technological challenges that really do start to bite as the data volume really does start to become large, and as the proportion of unstructured and semi-structured data increases. There are also some very interesting new tools that allow us to process larger volumes of data faster, particularly in relation to analytics, and a large market building around Hadoop and its derivatives.
I also see entire teams that claim to focus on big data, yet whenever I discuss the projects with them, none of them are working with databases that are even vaguely in the ballpark of what anyone would have considered big data ten years ago, let alone today. None of the people involved have ever dealt with even really large tables by today's standards. It's interesting that so many data-related jobs have suddenly become "big data" jobs. I'd love to know what these teams think they mean, when they say that they "focus" in these areas. It simply isn't possible for so many of them to do so.
I had a chuckle when I read this blog post from Warwick Leitch: Call it big data if you like... but you will look foolish. In that example, Warwick was referring to survey data that was held in a spreadsheet...
For a more serious take on this subject though, there is some interesting material in Stephen Few's recent blog post: Big Data, Big Deal. Stephen argues that big data is simply a marketing campaign. As always, the comments associated with the blog post make for reading that's as interesting as the post itself. I don't totally agree with Stephen on this, as there really has been quite a shift in the available tooling in recent years, but much of his discussion is right on target.
Ironically yesterday I was working with a team that has a project that I would qualify as "big data", yet they had never thought to call it that.
I suspect we as an industry need to start to quantify what the term "big data" really means, at a given point in time. It's clearly a relative term that changes over time. Otherwise, we should lose the term entirely or further define it, as there is currently a great deal of confusion around it.
The whole discussion reminded me of this wonderful xkcd cartoon that compared production levels in the energy industry: http://xkcd.com/1162/
One of the more amusing calls I had last year was with a US based fast food chain. They told me that they were ok using SQL Server for their analytic work but they'd decided they needed to use Oracle for the main database engine, based on the volume of data that they needed to handle efficiently. The Oracle sales guy had done a good job. I was intrigued about what volumes of data they thought would justify this. Later, it became apparent that it was about 30GB...
Without triggering a "that's not a knife, that's a knife" moment, I'd love to hear what others currently consider "big data". I don't consider "using Hadoop (or HDInsight) as a synonym for "working with big data".

Agree completely. Good post!
Absolutely agree 100%. I've just started a position that claimed 'big data'. I took the position. Um, yeah, 200GB is not big data. Needless to say, I will not be staying...
The data that I used to work with at my previous position was around 6 TB data. That, I would say is big data.
Big data, IMHO is being thrown in with the likes of Agile, Scrum and the Cloud. Mere marketing terms these days. I miss Bill Hicks.
Sounds very similar to the UK. I've been meeting with a big data user group for the last 6 months but finding very few people who actually have an appropriate data set - frequently big data would fit in main memory on a reasonable laptop. I think for many this is more an aspirational rather than a reality.
Part of the issue appears to be in the common definition. Volume, Velocity, Variability may cause you to have a big data problem, but very few are ready to stick their neck out and quantify what counts. A year ago I'd have loosely said it was any data analysis task where it was necessary or more economic to handle through scale out database systems rather than scale up, but the market place is now too polluted with v.small big data solutions for this to stick.
Amateurs talk strategy and tatics
veterans talk logistics
My view: Big is not about how big your data is, and whose "data" is bigger. it is about moving data from storage to cpu so you can do something with the data.
so perhaps the proper term should: Big Data Movement?
I like the big data "three vectors" definition...volume (huge amount of data), variety (lots of data with different schemas in a single context DB) and velocity (dramatic growth of data). If your data has one of these vectors, then you have a potential "big data" problem.
For example, you could have 0 gig of data initially...however, if you plan on storing every stock transaction going forward you will have a "big data" problem because of data velocity.
"Big Data" is well defined, although few are willing to openly admit what that definition is. To wit: Big Data is the excuse to dump standard RDBMS/SQL datastores with their (nearly) transparent, and client language agnostic, syntax in favour of bespoke file storage tied to a specific client language. The amount of data needed to meet "Big" threshold moves down as the Kiddie Koders flummox yet more Suits. Yet another attempt to get Back to the Future of COBOL/VSAM applications.
Ironically, those systems are finding that writing a TPM for each and every application is a pain, so some are setting out to reinvent CICS. Such folks are blind to the irony. But that shouldn't be surprising, they've already demonstrated their blindness to data management.
Great comments, BuggyFunBunny!
Oh good grief, "big data" is a set of techniques for analyzing data, not a quantity.
Good comment CodePro. I agree that it's more of a philosophy for how data is analyzed and for the use of newer techniques but that makes the name itself even inappropriate.
Big data is mostly big JUNK data when we look into what's really being stored in these BD solutions. Most of the "big data" platforms are used as containers for social network blogs, comments, ratings and so on. They are not ideal for RMDBs so BD comes in to help. So far so good.
Problems come up when we try to make use of such data. They are not really useful data to begin with (how much value is there when an anonymous poster gives some article 4 stars anyway). It's hard to efficiently analyse data that's stored in a nonstructural way. There's no short-cut here. We don't have a data-structure storing it, we pay the price later. Low efficiency + vast volume of data = analysis headache. To make matter worse, such "social" data decays. If we don't analyse it fast enough its value rots away so we end up with a big pile of worthless data (junk) wasting hard drives.
That "big data big deal" guy is right. Lots of the big data advocates are merely selling the perception of value to gullible CIOs / CEOs. Big data is a hype.
Like codepro said, what we're really talking about is storing and analyzing semi-structured data, in ways that can scale to many terabytes, but can also be applied to much smaller data sets. It's a question of the right tool for the job. Log files, social graph data etc don't fit well into an RDBMS, regardless of size.
"Big Data" is a marketing term, just like "In-Memory"
EVERYTHING runs in memory. If is cannot, it is moved into memory before hand!!
Hi Greg, Thanks for the mention. I had quite a lot of response from my blog you mentioned. ! had to write a follow up! http://www.calumo.com/blog/big-data-hit-a-nerve-ouch/
I am working for a large company that handles vldb's around the size of 4tb tables.. Regardsless of the db size totalling 8tb.
This is big - as everything takes long to maintain on these db's.
I have questions from DBAsa .
What is your Database engine?
what kind of reporting tools used?

(CORRECTED) The Mushroom Council offered a tasting event for school lunch mushroom-supplemented meat entrees at the U.S. Department of Agriculture offices in Washington, D.C.
Kathleen Merrigan, deputy secretary, and Janey Thornton, deputy undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, were on hand Aug. 21, as were members of the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service and Food Nutrition Service.
They sampled dishes including mushroom meatballs, turkey mushroom burgers, turkey mushroom spaghetti, mushroom meat tacos and mushroom meatloaf, according to a news release. Recipes are online.
Sample menu trays displayed how the entrees compliment school lunch meal plans and meet new USDA requirements. Mushrooms add a serving of vegetables to plates, according to the council.
"Chopped mushrooms look similar and blend seamlessly with meat, so students' favorite meals can be made healthier without losing taste, volume or satisfying texture," Bart Minor, president of the San Jose-based council, said in the release.
The council plans to work with meat processors to develop a ready to eat, meat-mushroom blend for school lunch programs.
The dishes have also been sampled at the School Nutrition Association convention and the Produce Marketing Association Foodservice Conference.
Correction: The original article misstated the location of the event.

The funeral of 10-year-old Jemima Prees, who died in a skiing accident in Austria last week, will take place in her home village on Friday.
Jemima was killed on Sunday, February 10, when she veered off-piste and collided into a tree at the Mayrhofen resort, while on holiday with her family.
Her father Tim, 50, a lawyer in Devizes, and her brother Barnaby, a student at Bangor University, both witnessed the accident.
Barnaby performed CPR for 40 minutes, which enabled her organs to be donated to potentially save four other lives.
Jemima was a pupil at Calder House School, in Colerne, while her older sisters Olivia and Annabel attend Hardenhuish School in Chippenham, where staff have pledged their support to the family.
Hardenhuish headteacher Jan Hatherell said: "Our job is to try and support the two siblings Olivia and Annabel, who are members of our school community in these most trying of times, to help them to continue to work on their schoolwork while being in a quite fragile state and give them every opportunity for support that they need.
"Our pastoral managers are available if they want to talk outside of the family. It is our job to provide a safe haven for our pupils."

Alecia Moore aka P!NK was amazing,
|reviewer: Rich from Salt Lake City, Utah
|That was an amazing show. Her vocals are spectacular. Her band, back-ups, dancers all did great. Of course her acrobatics was something else. The "MC" was somewhat kind of funny but went on too long in my opinion. Put him on for about 1/4 his allotted time and it would have been perfect….meaning we would have had her for another song or two. This is especially because everyone there was so excited to see Alecia Moore aka P!NK, as much as possible as she really is a superstar and there are so many people who really adore her beyond words….. wanting as much time seeing her as possible. Whenever she showed up on stage after the MC did his thing, the cheering and excitement was HUGE. She really is an amazing presence and I really respect her so much as she does sing…. no lip syncing from that girl whatsoever.

The bulls have done a nice job of delaying it, but some profit-taking is starting to kick in now. Apple (AAPL) is what's leading the action, and now that the selling has started to kick in there, it is spreading to the broader market.
Breadth is just mildly negative so far, but the reversal of the positive early action is giving the market a negative tone. As I discussed in my opening post, there are just too many stocks that are extended and not offering very good entry points right now. Apple is probably the most obvious example.
Just because the market is pulling back doesn't necessarily mean that this recent bounce has ended. In fact, the indices need to back-and-fill and consolidate in order to build the foundation for a further thrust higher. If the averages start to break some key support levels -- like 1384 on the S&P 500, which is the 200-day simple moving average -- then we might worry a bit. But that is long way to go from current levels.
I'm playing a little defense this morning and trying to protect some recent gains. I have few small trades going, but nothing more than a fairly fast flip. One stock I'm watching, and have as a technical buy, is First Solar (FSLR). There is a big short position there, and if the stock can take out that $26 level, it should squeeze. I'm just tracking it now, but that is one I'd look to add if the market action improves.
Take it slow, and let the setups develop.

Prone To Rattle
By JD Of NSC
from Boston, MA
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
I have used these levers on a number of bike builds and the lever bushing is very cheap and it all fits loose in the housing so it can rattle and be very annoying. Not all samples do it but I recommend the Shimano R550 or Tiagra 4700 for short reach (flat bar on dual pivot) applications for a much smoother and better contoured lever. For long reach (V-Brakes & Mech. discs, you can't beat the venerable Avid Speed Dial and the Shimano Deore 610 Trekking. Also, the new Shimano BL-780 works with all brakes including the new Super SLR brakes that I highly recommend for road bikes. Yes, standard short reach levers work fine with SLR brakes too but in braking, can you have too much power,smoothness, and modulation? These Nashbar brakes are low end Tekro which is normally a reliable company making value oriented products but this lever is the bottom of the heap. They won't break but I don't recommend them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Levers are great but included rear brake wire is to short for any cantilever setup.

Excellent Value in a break lever.
By Bob
from Las Vegas
I installed these break levers to replace the levers on my wife's Trek Sky. The levers were an excellent upgrade and greatly improved the stopping power.
You pull them, the brake activates
By Jake3D
from New York City
About Me Commuter
These work exactly as expected, but I should add that, contrary to some of Nashbar's claims, they will not work with road calipers nor cantilevers. Fine for V-brake/linear pull and disc. So if you're converting your road bike to flat bars these won't work. Unlike more expensive levers they cannot be switched at the cable attachment - it's riveted in place.

Decent Brake levers
By Milford biker
from Milford, Ct.
This was used to convert an older Puch 10-speed to a hybrid. The drop bar levers did not fit the mountain bar setup.
Cheap but effective
By Hunter
from Phoenix AZ
The reach adjustment screw is inaccessible when the levers are installed unless you have a very, very short driver (I don't). It's a hassle to remove the levers to adjust the reach, but oh well. They rattle some on rough surfaces but they work well otherwise. I would still recommend them though with the above caveats.
Good upgrade
By Toflylow
from Plano, Tx
The Nashbar Deluxe Mountain Bike Brake Levers are a good item for any stock bike that needs a make over.The original levers on this mountain bike were very low grade aluminum parts. One handle broke after some moderate abuse, but less than expected to break them. The Nashbar parts were easy to install and are a lot better than the originals. And do take abuse nicely.Would recommend them to anyone.
Nice levers
By Bill
from Nashville, TN
I used these levers when I converted my wife's bike from drop bars to a hybrid-type riser bar configuration. The installation was easy and they work nicely with a set of Shimano 105 brake calipers. Stopping power is very good. The cable length adjusters at the levers are nice. The price was good in that the kit included cables and housings. They look like they should be pretty durable. The one downside is that the levers are pretty short.

Bryan Adams Performs Solo-Acoustic Exclusive Engagement at the Merriam Theater, 1/25
Bryan Adams brings his highly successful solo-acoustic concert tour to Philadelphia with an intimate concert performance at the Merriam Theater on Friday, January 25 at 8 p.m. The St. Louis Post Dispatch writes "Armed only with a small array of acoustic guitars, Adams packed enthusiastic fans - sometimes a bit too enthusiastic - into the intimate Sheldon for a great night of music and insight." Tickets go sale to the public Friday, November 16 at noon.
Tickets are available for $49.50-$79.50, plus applicable service charges, and can be purchased at kimmelcenter.org, 215-893-1999, or at the box office located at Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, Pa. (open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., later on performance evenings).
"They sang along with the ever-so-familiar choruses, filled in vocal gaps he left for them, clapped the missing drum parts, hummed the missing solos, and roared their approval after every offering, right up to a long and hearty standing ovation after 'Run To You'." -Toronto Star
Bryan Adams has sold over 65 million records, toured six continents and achieved No.1 status in over 40 countries around the world. With hits like, "Cuts Like A Knife", "Summer of '69", "Kids Wanna Rock", "Can't Stop This Thing We've Started", "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", "Open Road" and most recently "Thought I'd Seen Everything", Adams has solidified his status as one of the best singer-songwriters of our time.

Detailed Description:
Babies in the newborn intensive care unit who are dependent upon intravenous nutrition for a long period of time frequently develop liver damage. The fat used is called intralipid and is made from soybean oil. There is a suggestion in the literature that using fishoil based fats called omega-3 fat emulsions can decrease or even reverse this liver damage. We will offer babies with evidence of liver damage and no ability to eat,the Omegaven and see if the liver damage reverses.

There are plenty of sources of nutrition information online - but how can you tell which ones to trust? The following guidelines will get you started with learning how to evaluate whether information you find on the Web is reliable.
It is possible to get good information and ideas on all sorts of sites, but you will want to use extra caution if someone is trying to sell you something or does not have highly regarded credentials. People can be passionate about their food and their diet, but that does not mean that they necessarily have the background and knowledge you are looking for.
If it sounds too good to be true – it probably is!
Look for signs of bias. Often, industry funding is necessary to conduct research or develop a website. That in itself does not mean the information is flawed. But it is a clue that should encourage you to investigate other sources on the same topic to see if there is another viewpoint.
Now that you have the basics, want to find out more about evaluating online health information? Please visit the following sites:

7 Suborbital Spaceships to Carry NASA's Experiments
This April, after only three and a half years of listening for life beyond our planet, the Allen Telescope Array suddenly closed its ears. The array, a collection of 42 radio telescopes in northern California, had to go into hibernation mode after money from the National Science Foundation and the state of California dried up. Allen can't be used to collect data but is being maintained by a reduced staff, says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer with the Mountain View, Calif.-based SETI Institute, which runs the observatory along with the University of California, Berkeley. (SETI, which stands for "search for extraterrestrial intelligence," is also the name for the entire field and not just the institute.) "It's changed our job description from collecting data using the array to finding resources to put it back on the air," Shostak says.
Jill Tarter, director of the group's Center for SETI Research, says that the program is working to get Allen back online through small donations from individuals–a project called "SETIStars." As of late July, she says, the program has progressed more than halfway toward its fundraising goal of $200,000 to get the array up and running in August, albeit temporarily.
But while the Allen Array hibernates, the number of promising places to look for alien life expands almost daily. For example, the Kepler Space Observatory has identified more than 1200 potential planets orbiting stars within the Milky Way that lay within the "habitable zone," where scientists calculate liquid water could exist–and possibly life too. Thankfully, SETI's budget woes don't mean that its scientists aren't looking and listening: A host of different creative projects around the world keep the search for intelligent aliens going.
UC Berkeley astronomer Dan Werthimer leads SETI projects at five different telescopes around the world; his primary work happens at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope. (Radio telescopes function as giant concave mirrors for radio waves, their dish-like shape focusing beams toward a single point, where a receiver detects and records them.) Werthimer's group has an arrangement with Arecibo to "piggyback" onto all other astronomer's projects, searching for radio signals emanating from wherever in the heavens the observatory is pointed. So though Werthimer and his team don't aim the telescope, they siphon off its data 24 hours a day.
Some of the data is analyzed on-site, but much of it is sent out to the volunteers of the SETI@Home program, a network of 8 million people who have downloaded Werthimer's computer program over the last decade. By tapping into the volunteers' computing power as their machines idle, Werthimer has created a supercomputer-like conglomeration to search for unusual patterns that could be of alien origin.
At the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia (the world's largest steerable telescope), Werthimer's doctoral student Andrew Siemion is listening, too. He's now sorting through his team's first round of observations, during which they pointed Green Bank's 330-foot dish at 90 planets the Kepler mission has picked out as having earth-like orbits around sun-like stars. Seimion just transferred 40 terabytes of data from the project–enough to fill more than 5000 DVDs–back to Berkeley and has begun analyzing it for possible alien signatures.
Green Bank was home to the first-ever SETI search, by Frank Drake, developer of the famous Drake equation that estimates the number of detectable civilizations in the Milky Way (He's still working, too–helping the SETI Institute in its attempt to secure addition funding from the Department of Defense, he tells PM). But where Drake's 1961 experiment with a vacuum-tube receiver searched for transmissions on a single channel, nowadays Werthimer and Siemion can monitor 10 billion radio wavelengths at the same time. "It's like listening to 10 billion radios at once," Werthimer says.
Larger telescopes such as Green Bank and Arecibo can detect more signals and fainter or more distant ones. But large telescopes are in high demand and cannot usually be quickly pointed toward a promising signal. To get around this problem, alien-hunters combined forces. A worldwide group of 1500 small-antenna operators called the SETI League now scans the whole sky. The group's leader, Paul Shuch, says that what their network lacks in sensitivity it makes up for in responsiveness and verifiability. If any of the 150 telescopes actively searching at any given time spot something weird, others in the group automatically receive an email telling them to check it out.

What Is Raynaud's Phenomenon?
Fast Facts: An Easy-to-Read Series of Publications for the Public
Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder that affects blood vessels, mostly in the fingers and toes. It causes the blood vessels to narrow when you are:
- Cold
- Feeling stress.
Primary Raynaud's phenomenon happens on its own. Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon happens along with some other health problem.
- Who Gets Raynaud's Phenomenon?
- What Are the Symptoms of Raynaud's Phenomenon?
- What Is the Difference Between Primary and Secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon?
- How Does a Doctor Diagnose Raynaud's Phenomenon?
- What Is the Treatment for Raynaud's Phenomenon?
- What Research Is Being Conducted to Help People Who Have Raynaud's Phenomenon?
Who Gets Raynaud's Phenomenon?
People of all ages can have Raynaud's phenomenon. Raynaud's phenomenon may run in families, but more research is needed.
The primary form is the most common. It most often starts between age 15 and 25. It is most common in:
- Women
- People living in cold places.
The secondary form tends to start after age 35 to 40. It is most common in people with connective tissue diseases, such as scleroderma, Sjögren's syndrome, and lupus. Other possible causes include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome, which affects nerves in the wrists
- Blood vessel disease
- Some medicines used to treat high blood pressure, migraines, or cancer
- Some over-the-counter cold medicines
- Some narcotics.
People with certain jobs may be more likely to get the secondary form:
- Workers who are around certain chemicals
- People who use tools that vibrate, such as a jackhammer.
What Are the Symptoms of Raynaud's Phenomenon?
The body saves heat when it is cold by slowing the supply of blood to the skin. It does this by making blood vessels more narrow.
With Raynaud's phenomenon, the body's reaction to cold or stress is stronger than normal. It makes blood vessels narrow faster and tighter than normal. When this happens, it is called an "attack."
During an attack, the fingers and toes can change colors. They may go from white to blue to red. They may also feel cold and numb from lack of blood flow. As the attack ends and blood flow returns, fingers or toes can throb and tingle. After the cold parts of the body warm up, normal blood flow returns in about 15 minutes.
What Is the Difference Between Primary and Secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon?
Primary Raynaud's phenomenon is often so mild a person never seeks treatment.
Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon is more serious and complex. It is caused when diseases reduce blood flow to fingers and toes.
How Does a Doctor Diagnose Raynaud's Phenomenon?
It is fairly easy to diagnose Raynaud's phenomenon. But it is harder to find out whether a person has the primary or the secondary form of the disorder.
Doctors will diagnose which form it is using a complete history, an exam, and tests. Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Looking at fingernail tissue with a microscope.
What Is the Treatment for Raynaud's Phenomenon?
Treatment aims to:
- Reduce how many attacks you have
- Make attacks less severe
- Prevent tissue damage
- Prevent loss of finger and toe tissue.
Primary Raynaud's phenomenon does not lead to tissue damage, so nondrug treatment is used first. Treatment with medicine is more common with secondary Raynaud's.
Severe cases of Raynaud's can lead to sores or gangrene (tissue death) in the fingers and toes. These cases can be painful and hard to treat. In severe cases that cause skin ulcers and serious tissue damage, surgery may be used.
Nondrug Treatments and Self-Help Measures
To reduce how long and severe attacks are:
- Keep your hands and feet warm and dry.
- Warm your hands and feet with warm water.
- Avoid air conditioning.
- Wear gloves to touch frozen or cold foods.
- Wear many layers of loose clothing and a hat when it's cold.
- Use chemical warmers, such as small heating pouches that can be placed in pockets, mittens, boots, or shoes.
- Talk to your doctor before exercising outside in cold weather.
- Don't smoke.
- Avoid medicines that make symptoms worse.
- Control stress.
- Exercise regularly.
See a doctor if:
- You worry about attacks.
- You have questions about self-care.
- Attacks happen on just one side of your body.
- You have sores or ulcers on your fingers or toes.
Treatment With Medications
People with secondary Raynaud's phenomenon are often treated with:
- Blood pressure medicines
- Medicines that relax blood vessels. One kind can be put on the fingers to heal ulcers.
If blood flow doesn't return and finger loss is a risk, you will need other medicines.
Pregnant woman should not take these medicines. Sometimes Raynaud's phenomenon gets better or goes away when a woman is pregnant.
What Research Is Being Conducted to Help People Who Have Raynaud's Phenomenon?
Current research is being done on:
- New ways to find and treat the problem
- New medicines to improve blood flow
- Supplements and herbal treatments, but these have been found ineffective in most studies
- Causes.

Hopes are high that parish councils will soon receive 100 per cent of funds which have been given to them by central government.
Swindon Council was the only local authority in England in 2013 to not pass on a grant from the Government, despite it being recommended to hand it over to parish councils.
The cash was made available following Government changes, which meant people receiving council tax benefits were no longer included in the council tax base.
The effect meant some parish councils had to increase their precepts in 2013, with Wroughton having to do so by five per cent.
But Coun Wayne Crabbe, (Con, Wroughton and Wichelstowe), said following discussions between his fellow ward councillors and the cabinet member for finance, Coun Russell Holland (Con, St Margaret & South Marston) he is confident the money will soon all be given out.
He said: "We are hoping to see movement on this issue very soon, even within the next month.
"Coun Holland has been very receptive and listened to what we have to say and understands the importance of the money.
"We are going for one final push and hope to have good news for residents very shortly."
Council Leader David Renard (saidthe full amount of money was likely to be handed over but added: "It is part of the budget that will be recommended to the cabinet and then the full council.
"I cannot say 100 per cent at this stage as it has to be voted on by full council but that is what is being put forward."
Coun Crabbe said the money will mean parishes do not have to put up their precept.
He said: "The extra £75,000 would go such a long way. Parish Councils are responsible for cutting grass and providing local amenities.
"It's not just Wroughton but all the parish councils would benefit. About a third of the town's population live in the parish and town councils and the £160,000 is such a small drop to the borough council.
"My worry is that if the money doesn't come then parishes will have to raise their precepts meaning a greater cost to residents but I think that will be avoided."

Yanks may shift Gardner to center, Granderson to left
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees are considering moving Curtis Granderson to left field and installing Brett Gardner in center field. Granderson said on Monday that he is on board with the idea.
Manager Joe Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman have said that their outfield alignment will be a topic of discussion this spring, with the belief that Gardner could offer a superior defensive option in center field.
"I played all three outfield positions coming up through college and the Minor Leagues," Granderson said. "It's been a while since I played there in the big leagues, but I have done it. I played a lot of games in left, and I could go to right.
"If they're open to it, I'm open to it, too. I feel like I can float around there wherever we need to be and whatever the best group happens to be, I've got no problem with doing it, especially when you add a guy like Ichiro [Suzuki] to the mix."
Granderson has made just 22 big league appearances in left field, the last of which came in 2007 with the Tigers. Granderson said that he has worked out in left field during previous Spring Trainings and wouldn't be opposed to the idea, but the Yanks have not addressed the topic with Granderson yet.
Cashman said last week that a defensive change is "something we'll talk about" and "certainly something that's possible, but it's not something we've moved on."
No matter how Gardner, Granderson and Ichiro wind up being aligned, Granderson said that he likes the idea of having three speedy players manning the outfield.
"Left-center in Yankee Stadium is a very big part of the field," Granderson said. "Everyone talks about how small right is, but left-center is still one of the biggest in all of baseball, and you've got to be able to cover that ground as well.
"The fact that guys can move very well, can swap, can get the ball in, does a lot of things for confidence for our pitching staff. I think it's going to be a good thing for us."

Like many researchers, I've always used city directories as cross confirmation of the location of a family. I locate family members on each census, and then check for city directories. If they are available, I can do a spot check to confirm that the family is where I expect to find them.
In an early city directory, you might find just a person's name and address, which may or may not be useful. As city directories developed over time, the information they provided became more detailed. In later city directories, you can have any of the following information in addition to a person's name and home address:
- The name of a person's spouse
- The person's occupation
- The name of the company where the person works
- The person's business address along with their home address
- The location to which a person moved if they've moved since the last directory
- The first name of a widow's husband
- The name of children when they are listed as students…children you might have no other way of finding out about.
The problem solving so far has been pretty limited. However, with a little imagination and rooting around, you can mine city directories for lots of information that narrows search criteria.
As I've nailed down more and more information about each person in my database, I've had to become more creative in my pursuit of additional information. Of late, I've been chasing the Anderson family in Biddeford, York County, Maine. One line of Andersons was easy because I could find dates of death and get obituaries from the local library. The other line of Andersons, who start out in Biddeford but wind up in Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, was proving to be more difficult.
As is my usual practice, I located every census entry for the family. The family moves from Biddeford to Springfield between the 1920 and 1930 censuses. One additional event occurs; the father of the family, John James Anderson, seems to die. He is on the 1920 census in Biddeford, Maine but not with the family in the 1930 census when they appear on the census in Springfield, Massachusetts. In the 1930 census, John's wife, Annie Ellen (Doran) Anderson, is listed as the head of the household and as a widow. Annie is living with her sons Edward and Norman, nephew Samuel Smith, daughter-in-law Elsie, and grandson Edward (Jr.). Previously located records confirmed that John and Annie had two living children, sons Edward and Norman.
In checking the Maine death index, I found that it stopped at 1922 and that John wasn't on it. So I knew that if he was indeed dead, it was after 1922 and before 1930. A quick check of Find A Grave gave me no easy answer.
In an effort to zero in on a year of death, I turned to the Biddeford and Saco, Maine City Directory.
- In the 1920-1921 directory, I found John living at 15 Fall Street and working as a machinist.
- In the 1920-1921 directory, son Edward is living at 15 Fall Street and working as an operator.
- In the 1922-1923 directory, John is there living at 15 Fall Street and working as a machinist.
- In the 1922-1923 directory, John's son, Edward, is noted as having moved to Worcester, Massachusetts.
With these pieces of information, I knew that John most likely died after 1923 but before 1926. As it so happens, the Biddeford Weekly Journal is one of the newspapers digitized by Google at Google News Archive. I used the advanced search to look for any article that contained the name Anderson in the Biddeford Weekly Journal between 1923 and 1926. Here's what I found.
Biddeford Weekly Journal, Biddeford, Maine, 18 Dec 1925, Page 7Norman, as noted above, is the younger of the two Anderson sons. Based on this article, I surmised that John died sometime in mid-December 1925. This date of death fits perfectly with the sequence of events compiled from entries in city directories. Unfortunately, further searching of the Biddeford Weekly Journal yielded no obituary. However, there is another newspaper in Biddeford. With at least a target date (probably sometime the week of 18 December 1925), I asked a librarian in Biddeford to see if an obituary was available. The McArthur Public Library provided the obituary.
Norman Anderson, a senior, was relieved of his school duties because of the death of his father, John J. Anderson. The senior class sent a beautiful floral piece and also extends sympathy to the family.
Biddeford Daily Journal, Biddeford, Maine, 7 Dec 1925In addition, the librarian pointed out an online index for the St. Mary's Cemetery. I used the index to locate the burials for several additional family members, most of whom died as small children.
John J. Anderson
Death of Hightly Esteemed Citizen at His Home on Pool Street
John J. Anderson, a highly respected member of St. Mary's parish died at his home, 6 Pool street, Sunday morning, following an extended illness from a heart trouble. His age was about 52 years.
Mr. Anderson was employed for many years in the Saco-Lowell shops. He was forced to give up work some months ago because of his ill health. He was a member of Biddeford council, Knights of Columbus, and had been active in St. Marys parish.
He is survived by a widow and two sons, Edward and Norman, all of this city, the latter a student at Biddeford high school and a prominent athlete.
The funeral will be held at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday morning from St. Marys church.
As my research becomes more detailed, my solutions become less direct. They almost always require the use of more than one set of records to puzzle my way to a solution. As more city directories have gone online, they've recently become a principle tool in my problem-solving toolkit.

WARMINSTER wrapped up a mid-table finish in Dorset & Wilts One South with a bonus-point success at Folly Lane.
The away side dominated the early territory and possession without ever really threatening the Warminster line but the home scrum was in control and, against the run of play, they took the lead.
Centre Alex Payne made a clean break from his own half and grubbered a kick forward for teammate Jason Sprangle hack on further. A defender beat him to it but made a hash of retrieving it and predatory winger Herbeline Biscette scooped up and dived over, Sprangle adding the conversion.
Biscette nearly doubled his tally before the half was out when Warminster broke down the right hand side, but the final scoring pass to the winger was adjudged forward.
Payne and an opponent were sin-binned before the break and Dorset reduced arrears with a penalty after it.
The home side then began to take control and scored their second try through flanker James Rowbotham, who pole axed a defender to gallop in under the posts for a converted score.
The visitors hit back with a try of their own after weak tackling but, from a close range scrum, Sprangle picked up the ball and danced his way over the line.
With ten minutes to go, a slightly fortuitous score brought the bonus point.
A break out on the right hand side saw good quick hands involving Payne, Rowbotham and finally Gavin Pratt, whose pass inside to Biscette was fortunate not to be adjudged forward, Biscette scoring his 16th try of the season.
East Dorset's afternoon ended in frustration with a man sent off.
