Testing of a Downhole Sampler Incubator (DSI) for the Uncontaminated and Exogenous DNA-Free Sampling of Crustal Fluids from Deep-Sea Bore Holes
DOEI Project Funded: 2004
Proposed Research
What are the primary questions you are trying to address with this research?
The object of this project is to test a non-contaminating microbial sampling apparatus being developed under NSF SGER funding, a Downhole Sampler / Incubator (DSI), for sampling subsurface hydrothermal fluids accessed via Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) boreholes.
What is the significance of this research for others working in this field of inquiry and for the broader scientific community?
The study of the ecology, diversity and function of microbes in the marine or subsurface biosphere requires the marriage between culture independent, molecular techniques of DNA
sequencing and manipulation
to determine the important players and culture-dependent approaches to understand
their physiology and functioning. In either case it is essential that samples
be obtained that are free from cross-contamination by microbes and microbial
DNA from locations other than the site of sampling.
When and where will this investigation be conducted?
This study will be conducted at the WHOI dock using an apparatus simulating the casing of an ODP borehole (see figure to the right) to prove that the newly developed DSI is able to obtain contamination free samples.
What are the key tools or instruments needed to conduct this research? The DSI and the apparatus illustrated in the figure. The Borehole Simulating Apparatus injects a microbial tracer into a flowing stream of filtered seawater (shaded area in pipe). The DSI is to be lowered through the water that is purposely "contaminated" with a tracer organism into the tracer organism-free region and a sample taken. Successful operation of the instrument will reveal "no" tracer organisms in the sample.What are the greatest challenges – physical or intellectual – to conducting this investigation?
The biggest challenge will be the design and construction of the DSI so that it will fit within the 4" ID casing of an ODP borehole. The DSI will need to possess an OD no greater than 3", which will be a miniaturization engineering challenge. The objective of "this" project is a straightforward test of the ability of the DSI to obtain contamination-free samples, the results of which will serve as part of the technical foundation for acquiring funding for the study of sub-seafloor microbiology.
Is this research part of a larger project or program? A group of us [J.P. Cowen (U. Hawaii), F. Kenig (U. Illinois, Chicago), C.D. Taylor (WHOI) and S.J. Giovannoni (Oregon State U.)] had submitted a 5 yr. proposal to the Microbial Observatories and Microbial Interactions and Processes program at NSF entitled "Microbial metabolic activity, genetic and physiological diversity and biomass within aging (off axis) ocean crustal fluids: ODP Borehole Observatories" to study the microbes of this subsurface environment. A component of that proposal was development of the DSI for the in situ sampling of the deep borehole fluids to provide uncontaminated material for proposed microbial studies. Both the Panel and Reviewers praised the proposal as a "pioneer attempt to explore the biosphere present in the subseafloor." However, they were also concerned that the success of the project rested too much on the successful development of novel sampling instrumentation capable of obtaining "contamination-free" samples of crustal fluids. Once the DSI is developed (NSF SGER) and tested (this project) we will have addressed reviewer concerns and will proceed with the Microbial Observatory project.

The "Do Not Play List"…NEVER say never! Wedding General Party Tips
I just finished reading an article on a well-known bridal site listing songs the author felt should NEVER be played at a wedding. And it was all I could do NOT to comment. So, I'll use my personal forum to vent my particular feelings on this subject. In my opinion, any song that gets your family and friends out on the dance floor SHOULD be played. There is a time and a place for ALMOST any song, corny or not. The "YMCA' is listed as a no-no, yet it was requested just last week by The Groom's family. It was enjoyed by all. "The Chicken Dance" was also played and got representatives from all age groups out on the floor. Since small children are often times on the guest list, it's a special time when they can join in on the dance floor with adults and have fun. Line dances were not listed, but oftentimes a bride will tell me they don't want to have them played. Why not? As many times as I get to line dance in a year (probably close to 50), I never get tired of it. A lot of guests at a wedding look forward to being able to line dance. I've even taught a line dance or two, just to get people "involved". The only songs that should be on your "do not play list" are songs with overtly offensive lyrics, break-up songs (happy thoughts at a wedding, please!) or songs associated with an unhappy memory. I have avoided playing "The Anniversary Waltz" if I know that someone in the crowd has lost a long-time marriage partner and will be upset. A good DJ will listen to your ideas and plan a reception that works for YOU. But always keep in mind that your guests want to have fun, too! Maybe "Stayin' Alive" IS cheesy and DOES say "Disco". Why take the fun away from your guests who enjoy having a good time with it? YOUR tastes can always be incorporated into the music that is played during the 4-5 hours of your reception. With over 50,000 songs to choose from and more added weekly, we can find a blend of styles and genres that appeal to everyone in attendance. And if someone chooses "The Chicken Dance", so be it. It just might just end up making a memory.

Harry McCracken writes on PC World's TechBlog that after spending one week with an iPhone he found the device to be incredibly cool, but also impractical for his needs. So traded it in for a Windows Mobile device, the AT&T 8525 (HTC Hermes).
He outlines 13 reasons why he doesn't want the iPhone.
- The iPhone isn't 3G
- The iPhone can't serve as a modem
- The iPhone doesn't talk to Lotus Notes
- The iPhone doesn't have a chat client
- There's no Slingbox client for the iPhone
- The iPhone doesn't have enough storage to be my primary media player.
- The iPhone requires too many clicks to get stuff done.
- The iPhone is remarkably uncustomizable
- The iPhone doesn't let you edit office documents
- And it doesn't have a To-Do List
- And its note-taking app is too bare-bones to be very useful
- The iPhone's contract requirement rankles me
- The iPhone's virtual keyboard is surprisingly good; the 8525's real one is better

The latest TOC had Medaka Box placed in 6th - the highest its been all year ,
looks like its been on the rise in the rankings the last few weeks, lets hope that when the anime airs that it could go even higher..(though thats likely not going to happen )

God dammit I want to know what happened, but dont want to be spoiled, hurry up CXC!
You guys are talking about some trolling going on? Even though last chapter we saw A god like character get one-shotted. If that's not a troll then whatever is in those spoilers must be insane.
1. Medaka pwns in one page
2. This was all part of a plan and this guy is an illusion
3. Kumagawa oneshots(But then more people would be happy,so no)
4.He is of no threat and does not fight.

Of course, ratings for that entire arc were pretty terrible overall. Bottom 5 almost the entire way through, starting from pretty much the beginning; only to settle around 10th for two or three chapters just before the climax; and then only one chapter at all to make it into the upper ranges at number six with the ending. While we don't know for sure how this new arc is gonna turn out just yet, I'm expecting the first couple chapters to do quite well comparatively.

lol. The blatant disconnect between you guys' perceptions and the actual reception in Japan simply clearly shows that you don't really understand this manga. You don't understand its appeal, you don't understand its intentions, you don't even really understand the plot in terms of what's going on. Now, that isn't necessarily your fault; Nishio's stuff is always fairly convoluted in the first place and there are plenty of aspects of Medaka Box which might be said to be difficult to translate from Japanese. However, the joke that you guys would even presume to think that your highly subjective, ridiculously limited perspectives have any sort of objective weight on the quality of the series is plainly ridiculous.
Yeah, I can imagine you would think the Shiritori game was shit when you can't even be assed to pick up on and follow along the rules of a basic game of Shiritori. That doesn't say anything about the quality of the series, just your own complete lack of effort and ignorance.
If you can't even grasp the basic idea that a manga like Medaka Box isn't written for you, and that a high percentage of any supposed "shortcomings" you notice are actually your own inadequacies in being unable to comprehend the original intention and the native audience, then things are just hopeless for you.
Get over yourself, and scale back that judgemental personality. If something is (comparatively) well liked over in Japan, there's probably a significant reason for it, and you'd be well served trying to actually figure that reason out before you resort to "oh, the Japanese readers aren't exactly like me; they must be idiots" and start shitflinging.

I mean, why do you think Medaka Box's percentage of male readers far outweighs that of the female's. Haha!
I think the fap-stain speaks for it'self, really. Japan isn't know for it's acquired taste, which is part of the reason One-Piece is the highest selling manga there.
Though, you can consider this my unserious "theory". I have no idea for why the Jet-Black Wedding was liked other than the chance to see some fanservice.
But being more serious now:
Medaka Box went from being a developed, charming narrative with dynamic, evolving conflicts and characters...to one with little-to-no coherence, extreme convolutedness, shallow character development, extremely boring conflicts and absolutely no satisfying closure.
I thought this manga was awesome, until the quickly bogging down of the Jet-Black Wedding arc. Totally not what Nishio promised us after chapter 140.
Trying to pass off the current manga as something "so deep that you just can't get It", to me, is just ridiculous. I don't feel that way at all. The charming character development and interesting plots/conflicts this manga had has seemingly evaporated, unfortunately.
Maybe you're just reading too much into the manga, and substituting your own interpretation of the story instead of what's actually there, which is actually vapid and shallow? I've done it with several fiction, really. It's just a desire to see said work acheive it's full potential in our view.
But hey, that's just my opinion on this manga's current state of affairs.
What really concerns me is that you're clearly flustered and perturbed that two people are agreeing on said opinion. Even more so is that you accuse us of thinking our opinion is objective, when that clearly is ridiculous when dealing with fiction and I never said it was, yet you assumed I felt that way.
I don't know about you, but in the forums I visited, most agreed that the Jet-Black Bride Arc was utter shit. Well, true that there were no japanese readers there, but this isn't some obscure opinion that is completely unjustified simply because japanese readers continued to buy the manga. Or are you saying Japanese readers have reached some state of intellectual enlightenment or something? That seems far-fetched when they might or might not be reading the manga for the same reason you are.
Calm down. That rant was unescessary - I just don't view this manga like you do, that's no reason to insult someone's intelligence and call them "ignorant". Have some decorum, please. I don't see anyone insulting your intelligence due to your opinion.

I can understand why you're frustrated Sol, but I think you're jumping into the other end of fallacious thinking. So just because you're not the intended audience means you're not allowed to judge its quality? Yes, I don't think insulting the Japanese for their tastes is very constructive in this instance, but it's not as if understanding the intentions of this manga will make people like it. Medaka Box is a manga worth analyzing and discussing, but that may not necessarily impact people liking it. Execution also plays a part. Sure, opinions of people on an anime forum aren't always the most well constructed, but it's still plays a part in viewing the series.
Geh, I must grudgingly admit you do stimulate discussion though.

I'm not calling the current storyline "deep", either. My primary concern is if its entertaining. On some level that's because I know the exact nuances/workings of the explanations and the implications of Nishio's language can't be understood unless you have a naturalized Japanese fluency, some way to directly appreciate the source material. I prefer to trust that the explanation is there, and care most about whether the story is entertaining me in the present moment or not. On the occasions that I can afford to, I attempt to take a closer look at the text and draw out some of the more subtler nuances/meanings. These efforts are frequently fruitful.
(For example, when I casually went over the climax to the Black Wedding arc again earlier today, I noticed three things:
1. Momo's "trick the other two suitors into dropping their turns by speaking slowly" strategy meant that she had to distract people from the time for ~3 hours. However, although the dialogue shown in the chapter was nowhere near that much, that period actually included Momo's explanation of Medaka and Dr. Tsurubami's relationship/backstory. Thus making it somewhat more plausible that she filled up that time.
2. When Momo revealed that Medaka's strategy had involved controlling everybody so that nobody ever said the last three syllables, "u", "sa", and "n", she actually meant those three syllables in specific sequence. Not only is this actually verifiable from the (Japanese) text, but it was also that specific sequence which was required for Momo's last word ("kousan", surrender). Additionally, Medaka actually used that sequence in the very first Shiritori word which she used in setting up the strategy, "Ryuusanmu", after which point nobody else used it.
3. Torai mentioned that Medaka asking a bunch of detailed questions about the Shiritori game rules was to "induce the later plot". This was preceded by an earlier discussion from Wanizuka, etc. about whether or not ending a word with "n" on the last turn would make you disqualified. The revelation is, Medaka actually baited Momo to try to end her last word with "n" by purposely not clarifying that detail when she asked for rule explanations, which was part of how Medaka controlled/manipulated Momo into never using the syllables "u", "sa", or "n" until her last turn came up.)
The point is, yes, Nishio is very good at making entertaining twists that people can just enjoy brainlessly. That is one level to how Medaka Box has survived at all as a competitive manga, because you can't expect the Jump audience to generally read on the same level of Nishio's usual audience. However, another thing that Nishio is very good at is minute details. Attention to those details is what he is actually famous in his other writings for--particularly, it's specifically because of those details that it is common for him to be legitimately respected as an "epic troll". The way that Nishio's stories succeed is that, yes, on one level they manage to be entertaining even if you just forget and don't pay attention to the details. However, on the other level, when on occasion you actually do look for the details, it turns out they're actually there. In fact, Nishio often forces people to look at the details because that's precisely the sort of double punch which makes his works actually worth reading.

@Sol;, thank you for saying that none of us can understand this manga and that none of us are smart of enough to even realize that we can't understand this manga :P
"Yeah, I can imagine you would think the Shiritori game was shit when you can't even be assed to pick up on and follow along the rules of a basic game of Shiritori."
I understood the Shiritori game perfectly well, and I still thought the arc was overall crap. Simply knowing japanese doesn't necessarily make this arc better, sure, the word users and the shiritori game had some clever moments, but that's like having a candy bar in a pile of pig slop, sure, candy bars are great, but you don't care about the candy bar when it's buried in pig crap. Just my opinion, of course, I just reaaaally didn't like this arc.
and yet with all of my complaints, I still buy the manga. weird, aren't I.
Edit: and of course you somehow managed to write a huge wall of text in the time it took me to write a short paragraph..., oO

Fair enough that it has cover this week so its rankings might not bé ranked but you say it and gintama went from bottom to this rank is not true, these last few weeks medaka box has been just behind nisekoi and haikyuu so whos to say that when OP, Toriko and HQ are not ranked that it can't move up higher.

I guess I should clarify, as a Kumagawa x Medaka fan, I also thought that the arc mostly sucked also. I was never talking about the arc as a whole. I was talking about the specific chapter which looks like it had a decent rank, which was the climax chapter. The point isn't about tastes, it's about understanding a good reason for the rank without jumping to "Japanese readers have shit taste/are stupid".
As for the cover issue, I guess I would just say that ultimately we don't really know. I don't know whether there's any precedence for actually reordering a chapter based on a cover, without any colour pages. If there actually is a precedent for that, then I guess that's another possibility.

Though for us, that phrase applies to our feelings on the clothes most people choose to wear whilst traveling. While we're not delusional enough to suggest that airports should resemble fashion week, we'd be thrilled if more travelers took inspiration from the above jetsetters. Part of the reason we're fond of these just plane (if you will) cute ensembles is because unlike red carpet outings, these ladies have actually selected their own clothes sans stylist. As you can note, there are four key points: large sunglasses, lots of layers, closed-toe shoes, and in a surprise note, the return of a pashmina-esque shawl. Sunglasses hide makeup-free faces (the best thing for your skin when traveling), layers allow for appropriate attire for whatever climate, boots or sneakers for warmth and socks for the walk through security, and the pashmina is cozier than an airplane blanket.

House Republicans: Health care bill not perfect, but better than Obamacare
Despite lingering concerns within their party about its impact, several House Republicans said Wednesday that they believe the American Health Care Act (AHCA) will pass and they intend to support it.
"I'm a 'lean yes' on the bill as it currently stands," said Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark. "It's not ideal. There are some flaws in the legislation but I'm a big believer that when we united the government in the last election, then it was placed on us that we need to govern."
The AHCA is the first step in a three-phase Republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. Conservative and moderate Republicans have raised questions about the bill, but House leadership and the White House are firmly behind it.
One issue Womack hopes can be addressed during the legislative process is that the current bill gives much bigger financial benefits to top earners than to low-income seniors.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that 24 million fewer people will have health insurance if the bill is implemented, but Womack suggested that much of that will be by choice because of the elimination of the ACA's mandate to purchase insurance.
"Nobody is going to be subject to those mandates anymore if this thing passes, and naturally, I don't know how the CBO quantifies this, but there are going to be a number of people that don't buy health insurance," he said.
Womack noted that the CBO estimate also concluded the bill could reduce the deficit and slow the rising costs of insurance premiums.
"It is a bill that we can start with that accomplishes a number of things that we said we needed to do in a health care reform," he said.
One of the most important things to do, according to Rep. Paul Mitchell, R-Mich., is giving Americans more options instead of forcing them to comply with a government mandate.
"The choice for health care and to choose the type of health care is a right, like we have a right to choose a whole series of things in our lives," he said.
Mitchell criticized some opponents of the bill for trying to scare the public about what it will do to their insurance coverage.
"We're responsible as elected officials not to instill fear," he said. "It's to answer questions, not use fear for political gain or to raise money."
He urged people to have patience with Republican-led reforms, observing that the ACA took over a year to pass and several years to implement.
Critics have questioned whether the bill's tax credits provide sufficient funding to replace the ACA's subsidies and whether it will force poor patients off of Medicaid. Mitchell was confident those who want care would have access to it, though.
"I don't believe we're going to have anybody who's left without a choice for health care," he said.
Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., also emphasized that some who become uninsured will do so by choice.
"Many American people are going to opt out of a very expensive plan," he said.
McHenry said Republicans are working to ensure that the tax credits are as fair as possible and that states are given flexibility to reform and improve Medicaid to serve their citizens.
"I think we'll have some small changes to the legislation going into next week," he said.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., dismissed the notion that the AHCA gives patients more freedom and choices.
"They've got a lot of choices," he said. "They can go bankrupt or become homeless to pay for their health insurance. They can go uninsured and then go bankrupt when they have a health crisis."
DeFazio has pushed for changes to the Affordable Care Act since it was first passed, but he said Republicans have had no interest in trying to fix it. Instead, they are now promoting a bill that would provide massive tax breaks for the rich and health insurance companies while potentially raising costs for older Americans.
"They're much more interested in tax cuts than they are in providing meaningful health insurance coverage to all Americans," he said.
He also questioned GOP leadership's sudden rejection of CBO projections after citing the office's reports to attack Obama for years.
"One heck of a lot of people are going to lose their health insurance under this plan," he said.
Whatever their qualms with the specifics of the AHCA, Republican lawmakers agreed that it is better than the alternative because they believe Obamacare is an irredeemable disaster.
"Theoretically we could sit back and say we'll wait and see what happens and let it implode on its own weight," Mitchell said. "That's irresponsible. So I think the effort we're making really is a rescue mission."
Womack also portrayed the Republican effort as saving Americans from a failed system.
"This train wreck is going to happen anyway," he said. "We're trying to minimize the damage of an Obamacare train wreck by coming back and doing something that we think is much more workable."
Republicans hope to bring the AHCA to the House floor next week. If passed, it would then go on to the Senate, where it faces even more skeptical GOP senators and just three "no" votes from within the party could sink it.

What did the Road Runner saying.
I noticed they used scenes from Daffy's non-speedy cartoons, were they on the show too?

Road Runner says "Beep! Beep! Da fehlt noch einer... Road Runner, schneller ist keiner!" That translates to "Beep! Beep! One [star] is still missing... Road Runner, nobody's faster!" But it's spoken in rhyme, suggesting the influence of the Western comics (which were also published in Germany at the time).
I NEVER guessed any actual WB animation ever existed that showed a talking Road Runner. But this is the genuine article, if only produced for a foreign market.

Intrestingly credit is given to Bill Hendricks who directed four Daffy vs. Speedy shorts . While Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and Bob McKimson directed most of the Daffy/Speedy/Slyester cartoons.
Regarding the Road Runner segment I recall seeing artwork of the Road Runner in the same pose. Possibly the German market contracted Warner Bros to animate that scene. The Road Runner model looks more like Jones's.

Would this actually be the German equivalent of the 70's Merrie Melodies show, since the the two intros are about 95% identical?

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Charitable gaming on the tableBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
January 18. 2014 11:11PM
When is casino gambling not really casino gambling? When charities are the beneficiary.
Charitable gaming has been around for a long time, but in the last decade, it has grown by leaps and bounds.
Charities benefit to the tune of more than $13 million a year from table games, Lucky 7s and bingo, according to information supplied by the Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission to the Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority last fall.
The authority was appointed to determine a regulatory structure for casino gambling in the state, one of the main concerns raised last spring when the House defeated Senate Bill 152, which would have allowed one high-end casino in New Hampshire.
But during its work, the authority's consultant raised a red flag about the pervasiveness of charitable gaming. White Sand Gaming consultant Maureen Williamson said the state does not have the regulatory structure needed to determine how much is bet at the 10 charitable gaming sites across the state.
In addition, the state lacks controls to determine whether the games are run fairly or charities and the state receive all the money due them.
By law, charities have to receive 35 percent of net earnings from the gaming halls, but many do not because the game operators charge fees for such things as paperwork and hall rental.
As a result, the authority decided to propose two bills for this session: One would establish the regulatory structure to oversee all gaming in the state, including the New Hampshire Lottery; charitable gaming and racing; and a casino, if lawmakers decided to go down that road. The second bill would revamp the state's charitable gaming laws.
On Tuesday, the House Ways and Means Committee will hold a public hearing on House Bill 1630, which covers the charitable gaming changes.
The bill, sponsored by authority members Reps. Richard Ames, D-Jaffrey, and Lucy Weber, D-Walpole, and Sen. Jim Rausch, R-Derry, addresses many of the issues raised by Williamson, including background and criminal records checks for charitable gaming operators, site owners and senior staff.
Contracts would have much greater scrutiny under the bill, and the money trail would be more transparent.
The bill also deals with what are called "gray machines" - video lottery or poker machines that the state does not regulate but the cities and towns do, which essentially means no one is watching.
The bars, clubs and restaurants that have the machines are not allowed to make cash payments, but operators have been known to anyway.
Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission officials told the authority they had no way to determine how much money was being bet through the unregulated machines.
Williamson told the authority that people frequenting charitable gaming sites have a right to know the games and machines they are playing are on the up and up, just as a gambler at a casino does.
Oversight of the industry has bounced around state agencies for a while and has often been a political football.
Charitable gaming used to be regulated by the New Hampshire Lottery Commission, but game operators felt they were the poor stepchild receiving scant attention. So the charities and the operators pushed to move regulation to the racing commission, which made some sense because live racing was disappearing.
But the commission lacks the manpower to oversee the 10 sites, so the authority decided to put some teeth in state statutes.
House Bill 1630 would also establish a commission to study the situation, draft legislation and regulations, and finalize a report by December 2015 to get a better handle on charitable gaming.
Operators and charities turned out last summer for a public hearing urging the authority to leave the charitable gaming industry alone and regulation with the Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission.
The same folks are not likely to embrace the new bill and all the changes proposed.
To Investigate or Not: Whether former Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, faces a full-blown Legislative Ethics Committee investigation over how he came to be the executive director of what used to be the Local Government Center will be determined by the end of the month.
The Ethics Committee meets Jan. 27 and is expected to decide whether an investigation is warranted.
The committee voted last year, 6-0, to open a preliminary investigation after Rep. Rick Watrous, D-Concord, filed a complaint alleging Bragdon violated both legislative ethics guidelines and state law in taking the $180,000-a-year position with what is now HealthTrust.
Bragdon maintains he followed all the proper procedures and laws in taking the position, noting he has said repeatedly he would recuse himself from any legislation issue or discussions about the organization and its public risk pools.
The committee's decision to begin a preliminary investigation is the first since 2010, when the state GOP filed a complaint against Rep. Dan Eaton, D-Stoddard, over his involvement in a Liquor Commission enforcement action against a Keene bar owned by his friend.
Eaton lost a reelection bid, and the matter became moot.

Following Granny: Last week, activists began a trek from Dixville Notch, where voters typically gather to cast the first ballots of presidential primary and general elections, to Nashua to highlight concerns about corruption in Washington.
Those joining the trek include former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig, Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks and Ben and Jerry's founder Ben Cohen.
Dubbed the NH Rebellion, the group's goal is to recruit residents to ask one question of all 2016 presidential candidates: "How will you end the system of corruption in Washington?"
The question is, will "the question" move candidates off their scripted talking points?

Who Has the Bucks?: The Republican primary to fill the District 1 Executive Council seat, vacant since the death of longtime Councilor Ray Burton last year, will be held Tuesday.
The result of the three-way race among Christopher Boothby of Meredith, Joseph Kenney of Wakefield and Mark Aldrich of Lebanon will depend largely on who turns out to vote.
Two of the candidates have significantly more money to fuel their get-out-the-vote efforts, according to receipt and expenditure reports filed with Secretary of State Bill Gardner's office Wednesday.
Boothby raised $10,010 in the past two weeks for a total of $53,805 and has spent $39,960, with $13,845 in cash remaining.
Kenney raised $20,850 in the past two weeks, including a $20,000 loan to his campaign, for a total of $40,910. His campaign spent $10,071, leaving cash of $30,839.
Aldrich raised $550 for his campaign, $500 coming from his former boss' wife, Patricia Humphrey, for a total of $740. His campaign spent $645 and has cash of $95.
Democrat Michael Cryans of Hanover, who does not have a primary, raised $32,042 during the past two weeks, for a total of $50,152. His campaign has spent $2,063, leaving $48,089 in cash on hand.
Whoever wins the Republican nomination will have to do some serious fundraising after the primary to catch up to Cryans.
The special election for the District 1 seat is town meeting day, March 11.
Goodbye Stretch: The House on Wednesday will honor former Rep. Richard "Stretch" Kennedy, a Hopkinton Republican, who died last week at the age of 80.
Kennedy was tall, big and loud and was not the least bit politically correct.
He was gruff and could frame an issue in a very uncharitable manner.
But underneath, he was a kind and generous man who liked to remind me his family used to own a string of weekly newspapers from Connecticut to Maine.
There was no mistaking where Stretch stood on an issue, solidly to the right and feverish about gun rights. He backed Republicans.
But he counted liberal Democrats among his friends in the House and was very pragmatic.
One primary night when Jay Lucas prevailed as the Republican gubernatorial nominee over Fred Bramante, Jim Rubens and Emile Beaulieu in a hard-fought contest, we were waiting at CR Sparks in Bedford for the candidates to appear together to make it look like a united front.
Stretch sat down on the press platform and started talking. He told me Lucas better enjoy his evening because then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen was going to slaughter him in the general election, and she did.
You couldn't fool Stretch.

10 Photographers Who Captured the Spirit of New Orleans
Artsy Editorial
In the vein of such iconic photographers as Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Stephen Shore, Doug Rickard produces photographs of overlooked American communities and people—with a thoroughly 21st-century approach. Instead of crossing the country in a car with his camera, he uses the Internet as his vehicle, sourcing and re-photographing satellite images, snapshots, commercial and surveillance photographs, and, most recently, images from Google Street View. Walking the streets via his virtual proxy in places like Detroit and Dallas, Rickard captured individual street views, which he then re-photographed, printed, and compiled into a critically acclaimed book and exhibition, A New American Picture (2010). Summarizing the project, he explains: "In this case I really felt like I'm simply shining a point-of-view and a spotlight on specific parts of our country that need to be seen. It's as simple as that."

For anyone who has suffered from back pain inversion therapy can work miracles. I know this from personal experience. Right out of high school I joined the 82nd airborne branch or the US Army and during my third year of service suffered a lower back injury during a training exercise. The back injury caused me a lot of pain for years and just seemed to get worse over time. I tried many things to relieve the pain ranging from exercises to pills but nothing helped. Then one day I was browsing the internet and came across a site which talked about how effective inversion therapy is for alleviating back pain. Figuring I had very little to lose I ordered an inversion rack. To my astonishment after using it for one week my back pain was almost completely gone! I continued to use the inversion rack for a few more months and the pain went away completely. It has been about 10 years since I first discovered inversion and I am currently pain free. When I sold my house and moved into an apartment I got rid of my inversion rack and purchased an Omgym to save space. The Omgym works every bit as well as the inversion rack and actually lets me do a number of other exercises which is great! I highly recommend both inversion therapy and the omgym to anyone with back pain.

War Machine vs. Gideon Ray Scrapped Due to Injuries; Sean McCorkle Steps in as CCC 4 Headliner
Another super-fight, up in smoke. Chicago's MMA informs us that War Machine's post-prison return fight against Gideon Ray has been scratched from the main event of Chicago Cagefighting Championship 4 (October 15th; Villa Park, IL). From a press-release sent out by the promoter:
Over the weekend Gideon informed Chicago Cagefighting that he had suffered an injury to his hand and would not be able to compete. To compound problems, War Machine suffered a cut to his chin during training and is not able to train for at least a week. When a suitable replacement for Gideon could not be found, we made a tough decision. With only three weeks to the event we were forced to cancel the entire bout.Read More DIGG THIS

Gannett (NYSE:GCI) recorded a bigger-than-expected 33% jump in third-quarter profit on Monday, as a growth strategy announced in February started to pay off and the company recorded its first increase in company-wide circulation revenues in five years.
Stronger digital sales also contributed, led by Gannett's newly revamped USA Today brand and continued improvements within CareerBuilder.com.
Continue Reading Below
The McLean, Va.-based media and marketing company posted net income of $133.1 million, or 56 cents, compared with a year-earlier profit of $99.8 million, or 41 cents, topping average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll by three cents.
Revenue for the three months ended Sept. 23 was $1.31 billion, up 3.4% from $1.26 billion a year ago, narrowly missing the Street's view of $1.29 billion.
"Our results this quarter demonstrate that the growth strategy we announced in February is gaining traction," Gannett CEO Gracia Martore said in a statement. "We are seeing early successes and making great progress in positioning Gannett for growth in the digital era."
Fueling the quarter's revenue growth was record results in its broadcasting segment with the help of Olympics and political spending and its new all-access content subscription model that led to significant growth in company-wide circulation revenue, the first increase since 2007.
Digital revenues company-wide increased by 22.8% to $334.6 million and grew as a portion of total revenue. Now representing 25% of total sales, the gains were led by improvements as CareerBuilder.com.
Gannett re-launched the USA Today brand under a new digital image last quarter and said its domestic Internet audience share rose by 12% year-over-year to 57.6 million unique visitors.

Within weeks of taking office, President Bush started to dispense compassionate conservatism with a vengeance. As the first order of business, he moved to give a massive tax windfall to the rich, who got richer in the now-precarious boom economy. By impact and perhaps by design, this would hobble the capacity of the federal government to respond to escalating human need in the harder times that lie ahead. To get a head start on that, Bush asked Congress to shrink funding for Head Start, childcare block grants for poor families and programs to combat child abuse. If this seems like–to use another "c" word–old-fashioned cruelty instead of compassion, it should come as no surprise. The President did his best during last year's campaign, with the complicity of a timid press and a triangulating Democratic Party, to blur his intentions. But the blueprint for the second Bush Administration has been available to anyone who has followed the work of The Manhattan Institute and read its quarterly publication, City Journal.
Two recent books, both published by the Chicago-based Ivan R. Dee, bring together articles originally published in City Journal. At the risk of providing unwitting copy for a rave blurb, they are must reading for anyone who wants a window into the thinking of the people running all three branches of government in these trying days. (Or, as Bill Moyers is quoted as saying on the back of What Makes Charity Work?, "Even when I disagree with City Journal, I dare not ignore it.")
The Manhattan Institute came to prominence around the time of Rudolph Giuliani's election as mayor of New York, and they form a mutual admiration society. Giuliani has praised City Journal for puncturing a "tyranny of political correctness" in New York, which he likens to the Spanish Inquisition. (I thought the Mayor, who just installed a decency panel to monitor arts in city-funded institutions because he was offended by a few paintings at the Brooklyn Museum, and who slashed funds for the 150-year-old Legal Aid Society because it sued him and went on strike, was an admirer of the Spanish Inquisition.) And the Manhattan Institute loves him back. As Heather Mac Donald, City Journal contributing editor and the author of The Burden of Bad Ideas, writes: "From the day he took office, Rudy Giuliani threatened the foundations of the liberal worldview–denouncing identity politics, demanding work from welfare recipients, and above all, successfully fighting crime by fighting criminals, rather than blathering about crime's supposed 'root causes,' racism and poverty."
So far George W. Bush is shaping up as another star pupil. According to an April Washington Post article, Bush adviser Karl Rove considers The Dream and the Nightmare, an earlier book by City Journal editor Myron Magnet–editor of What Makes Charity Work?–a road map for Bush's approach to the role of government.
Neither road map nor blueprint seems quite the right metaphor for what is found in these books, since those imply a plan for getting somewhere or building something. The folks at the Manhattan Institute are more like demolition specialists, as their local hero, Mayor Giuliani, made clear in his call to blow up the New York City Board of Education. Their prescription for failing schools, poor inner-city neighborhoods, inadequate housing and every other shame of a rich industrialized nation is unfailingly the same: Get government out of the way, and let the market and private charity take care of it.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- In a change of schedule, the Golden Eagles will host Ohio in a double-header event on Friday, with game one starting at 2 p.m. and game two being played immediately after. Game three of the series is set to be played on Sunday at 1 p.m.
They'll be looking to carry their winning momentum into the weekend to improve their 3-6 overall record.
The Bobcats currently sit with a record of 2-6, having won two of their last four games in Davidson, N.C. -- splitting games with Lehigh, defeating Lafayette and taking a loss to Davidson in the three-day tournament.
Game one of the series will mark the first time that the two opponents have faced off in program history, and the Golden Eagles will look to sophomore right-hander Tristan Archer to set the tone on Friday afternoon. Archer has made two starts in three appearances this season and leads the Golden Eagles in innings pitched with 15. He's recorded a 1-1 record with one save, having faced 55 batters and allowing only 15 hits, striking out 13. His ERA 2.40 ranks second on the team.
The Golden Eagles will throw junior RHP Matt Shepherd (pictured) in game two. Shepherd has also made two starts in three outings, pitching 13 innings and allowing 15 hits. His 13 strikeouts ranks second on the team at present, and he maintains an ERA of 4.15. The hurler for game three is still yet to be determined for Tech.
Ohio will throw three of the following four pitchers, in a rotation that is still to be determined as well. Seth Streich is a sophomore righty who leads the Bobcats with an ERA of 2.61 in 10.1 innings pitched. He's struck out 11 and allowed three runs on five hits in two outings. He also contributes offensively with a .476 (10-21) batting average. Southpaw Tyler Backstrom has a 4.26 ERA and a 1-0 record, having pitched 6.1 innings on the season and allowing seven runs on 14 hits. Matt Robin (RHP) or Brent Choban (LHP) will fill the final rotation spot; Robin has a 2.89 ERA and a 1-1 record, while Choban sits with a 7.59 and one loss in two games started.
Game three of the series is set for Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.

I have always woundered why for so long. Why does everyone talk down on Peter Van Stolk. Why does everyone talk down on Jones. Why does everyone talk down on Urban Juice and Sode. Now I know why. Cause they are all a bunch of Jack Asses. The distributor that I am with has built Jones up in the Greater San Francisco area. Were supported with no P.O.S. No rep to help get accounts. No nothing for the company. But yet we built Jones up in less than 2 years from nothing, to an almost cult item in many stores...We are flying through 2 trucks a month in the winter time...gearing up for 4 trucks a month in the summer. So what is our thanks for making the Jones name known in the Bay Area. We get it taken away from us. 7-UP will be taking over Jones in the No. Cali area. 7-Up will only be doing 6 flavors and will not be doing Whoop Ass. Jones for all I am concerned can go bankrupt tomarrow...SCREW JONES...SCREW PETER VAN STOLK...AND SCREW EDIE BLACK

Hey Littleguy, there is no other story than we got screwed...We (millennium brands/bottoms up beverage) are Urbans #4 Jones distributor in the overall...We got the Soda into Cal Berkely, Chico, Cal State Hayward, Diablo Valley College, P.W. Supermarkets, Save-mart, Albertsons (and dont say Jones did anything to help us there, my boss Tom Deturk actually set everything up with no help from Jones) We are in numerous head shops, skate shops, Longs, Walgreens, 7-11's you name it, we are there...So what did we do wrong, I guess we sold to much with no support from jones, thats what we did wrong. Is Peter a genius, Yeah, he should be locked up in a room and just come up with ideas, but thats it. He had obviously shown he is not a business person. I always woundered why all the people on the bevnet talked **** about Jones and the company. Now I know why. They are back stabing, have no loyalty, and are only trying to please their stockholders before they sell out to Cadbery-schwebs. So once agin I will say. Screw Jones, Screw Peter Van Stolk, Screw Eddie Black, and you little guy. Screw You. Do I sound pissed. Yeah I am. Do I think Jones is an awsome selling Soda. Yeah, do I think there is really a replacement out there for Jones. No. But there are better selling brands. And that gap will just keep widening. JONES, GOOD JOB ON GOING WITH THE WORSE 7-UP DISTRIBUTOR IN THE US...WHOS AVERAGE SALESPERSONS' AGE IS 45, THEY ARE REALLY GOING TO GET BEHIND ALL 6 FLAVORS OF JONES THAT THEY WILL CARRY. AND SINCE THEY HAVE THUNDERBOLT, WHO NEEDS WHOOPASS...REALLY GOING DOWN THE RIGHT PATH NOW JONES...Here in northern cali...you can start putting your bottels right next to Tommy Knockers your **** is done here.

I want to start by saying that I admire your passion, and respect your opinion. Where we differ is on the facts. Without all the facts, it's hard to have a intellegent conversations. The facts are that on March 24/00 at 3pm. Eddie Black and Myself, were having a conference call with the president of your company to resolve the problem. The spirtit of the conversation was to find a solution with a win-win result for both companies. We had a great conversation. Now if I am bull****ting you, I would suggest that you call him, you have his number. Being that I am a dumb ass high pitched stupid business person, my approach would be to get all the facts, and close the deal before you insult the person your negotiating with, but your approach makes so much more sense, insult the person so he is motivated to get your company the best deal, and work with you in the future.
Maybe I should be locked in a room so that I could spend more time having conversations with intelligent people like yourself in the beverage industry.
How you feeling, your stomach ok. Good The phone is about to ring. Please explain your business savvy to Alex, or Mike, I'm sure they want to learn all your other business moves.

As a store owner, I've been getting Jones Soda from Millennium for about a year. I also deal with 7-Up Bottling, and cannot possibly understand why Jones would change from a good, upstart business that I'm satisfied with to a tired old company that calls me on the phone for orders. Ron is my salesman for Jones and that spot will be replaced with another of his items if/when he no longer sells Jones.
And for Mr. Van Stok, your slogan is "run with the little guy". Indeed, you have become very small.

My name is David, I own 3 7-11 stores in the East Bay Area. Ron Swedelson is my sales rep. from Millennium Brands. He has always given me great service. In each of my stores I have a full shelf of Jones sodas, and in 2 of my stores I show a display area for the Jones. I don't know who that Peter guy is, but if he says hes the one in negotiations with Ron's company. Then I just want him to know. If anyone other than Ron is servicing my stores, I will not Jones Soda. Even though I get weekley orders from Ron on the Jones soda. I will replace Jones with another one of Ron's items.

Hey Ron, I thought you were just talking up Jones Soda as recently as last week. This is what happens in the real world. Brands change hands all the time. Millenium Brands is and will always be a good brand builder, but your company is an inch thick and a mile wide. With Jones going to 7-Up it means a whole lot to the investors in Jones. They did the same thing up in Oregon and Washington last year. California is just a natural move. Next move is the sale. Sorry you're so disappointed, but this happens in the beverage business every day!

The wheels have come off the Stockton Safe Streets tax-for-cops plan. The mayor has said nothing, although it was his only major policy initiative.
The wheels have come off the Stockton Safe Streets tax-for-cops plan. The mayor has said nothing, although it was his only major policy initiative.
This is ... well, it's just weird.
Normally, when a politician changes or kills his major policy goal, he sees fit to mention it to the public. Not Mayor Anthony Silva.
We learned from sources outside Silva's camp that Safe Streets, a well-intentioned but controversial public safety plan, would not make the November ballot.
Silva's camp merely confirmed it. I say "camp" because Silva himself, as best as I can determine, has not said Word One to any news organization or issued any press release.
Until now. Late Tuesday Silva texted a statement:
"I did not want to move something forward that would be divisive. I want to find a compromise with the other members of the council on the one tax that we can all support."
Whew. Following this 180 is enough to injure your neck. From the day he took office, Silva went rogue, proclaiming a mandate to forge ahead, even if that meant marginalizing the council and city manager. He would gather signatures and qualify his plan for the ballot without them.
Now, all of a sudden, Safe Streets is just ... over.
Developer Matt Arnaiz, the plan's main architect, said Safe Streets' backers commissioned a poll - not the unscientific one on the website, but a professional poll - that showed the public marginally supports a tax.
But if both Safe Streets and the Marshall Plan go on the ballot simultaneously, they kill each other.
That would be a disaster.
So Safe Streets' backers agreed to stand down. For now. They hope to work with the city to insert language ensuring tax revenue collected for cops goes to cops.
"We've taken a sort of timeout," Arnaiz said. "We'd like to work on a compromise with the city. Not submitting the plan, that was an intentional move while we pursue this other venue. It's not like we just totally walked away from it."
If that's the case, Safe Streets backers deserve credit. They have done what's best for the city. That applies to the mayor, too.
"If it doesn't pass," Arnaiz said of the Marshall Plan tax, "then we'll relight the engine and get it going again."
Of course, it also is possible that Safe Streets lost support because of Mayor Silva's troubles. In the past week it has emerged that Silva is under criminal investigation for a third time.
He's never been charged with anything. Still, the news can't help Safe Streets' prospects. A national political figure would be dialing a PR crisis management firm right now.
Even more likely, Silva's camp didn't expect the city to be ready with its plan so soon. Because it is, they realized they stood to sabotage both plans. And be the goats through at least 2018.
What does this all mean for Stockton?
It means one tax measure is headed for the ballot, not two; a general sales tax, requiring only a simple majority, levied to fund a crime-fighting plan devised by top public safety officials and endorsed by six of seven council members and the city manager.
It means maybe, just maybe, everybody is trying to do the right thing.
The council has instructed the city manager to present a funding proposal for the Marshall Plan on June 25. The plan also must address Stockton's bankruptcy debt.
The council is scheduled to vote on the plan July 9.
The tax measure will go on the ballot Nov. 5.
And Bob's your uncle.
But there's a big "if."
Measures placed on odd-year ballots must be unanimously approved by the council. As in 7-0. Silva must vote to approve this plan, too.
He has, in other words, the power to move the city in the right direction. Toward law and order, fiscal recovery and a resurgence of Stockton's fortunes. Even though his own plan has been sidetracked.
"We need a unified council topass the tax measure," Silva text-ed. "I'm hopeful we can do that."

CORNING, AR (KAIT) - Several streets in Region 8 are under water after Sunday night's storms.
Flooding in Clay County has made it difficult for people to get around. Some home owners haven't been able to get in and out of their houses because of flooded front lawns.
"Corning is like the lost and the forgotten but there are a lot of people in this area that need help," said Resident Angela Craft. "I'm having to go clean the sewage out of my house."
Resident Sandra Carroll said as people drove through the flooded roads, it caused more problems for surrounding homes.
"They'll drive through and every time they do, they push water back into my house," said Carroll.
It's not just neighborhoods dealing with it, businesses in town have also been inconvenienced.
"I clean cars for J&S just east of Corning and the water is ankle deep in the shop," said J&S Employee Bobby Yates.

How to Use the Images
Drawing 2: Conjectural drawing of Almy, Brown,
and Slater's Mill, 1793.
Many factors influenced factory design. When the first mills in the Boott millyard were constructed in the 1830s, they reflected the standard type of factory construction for the times. Drawing 3 and Photo 1 show similar views of the Boott millyard approximately 75 years apart. Several of the original freestanding Boott mills appear to the left in Drawing 3. Secondary buildings, the canal, and boardinghouses for workers appear to the right.
Questions for Drawings 2, 3, & Photo 1
1. Many Americans were influenced by negative public opinion about industry in the early years of the Industrial Revolution. Which of the two mill designs shown in Drawings 2 and 3 do you feel would blend into the existing American landscape better and be a less threatening industrial form? Explain.
2. Based on what you already know, which type of mill looks as if it would better withstand machinery vibrations and better guard against fire? Explain.
3. What reasons can you give for constructing larger mills like those shown in Drawing 3?
4. Compare and contrast Drawing 3 and Photo 1. What features shown in the drawing do you see in the photo? What are some of the changes that appear to have taken place over time?
5. What evidence of a new source of power for the Boott Mills can be detected in Photo 1?
* The images on the screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Drawing 2, Drawing 3, & Photo 1, but be aware that each will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Are Genealogists being defined out of Family History?
This promotion goes on to list ten suggested activities. Interestingly, I have done every single one of the suggested activities at some time in my genealogical career and most of the genealogists I know have also done most if not all of the listed activities. Why then are these activities something that is in contrast to the core activities of dates, records and research? These are things we, as genealogists, have been doing all along and I might add, without recognition or an audience. For example, my daughter has had a fabulous family history blog for years and very, very few of the family members, even those who know about it, take the time to even read the stories and look at the photographs.
For example, I have been adding photos, sources and information to FamilySearch.org's Family Tree now for over a year. Unless I go back many generations, I can find no indication that anyone else (other than my one daughter) has even looked at the information online.
Interestingly, none of the suggested activities are directly aimed at finding and identifying your ancestors. How do you move from something such as interviewing family members and sharing their stories online, to finding the identity of unknown family members. How do you interview someone you cannot identify?
Dates, records and research are the engine that drives this family history vehicle, not something that can be ignored. Some of the suggested activities fall into the category of the survey in the research cycle, but other of the activities are things you do after your research has provided names, stories and photos to share. What is missing is the connection between the listed activities and where the information comes from. I fully realize that we can all ride in the car and that we don't all have to be mechanics, but without the mechanics, the car doesn't run.
I acknowledge that I personally have not done everything I could do to involve my family in family history. But it is hard to confront absolute and total indifference. I was talking to some friends I hadn't seen for a while and they politely asked what I had been doing lately, when I mentioned genealogy, they quickly changed the subject and walked away. What are the new, budding family historians going to do when they meet this kind of reaction?
I applaud the effort being made to involve a wider audience in family history, but how are these new family historians going to move on to the next step of research, records and yes, dates? Is this simply a public relations problem? Or is there something more to genealogy than meets the eye here?

We researchers won't become defined out of genealogy. The folk who come for flash only will become bored and leave. Gravy (or icing) is nice, but neither works without the meat (or the cake).ReplyDelete
I believe that the advertising department fails to understand its product in a great many industries. They sell the "sizzle" instead of the steak because they don't know (and seem to not care) about the steak.
In the long run such advertising campaigns are doomed. The sizzle may attract, but without the steak, the customers leave, unsatisfied.
I recently directed someone on Facebook as to how to search a census page-by-page instead of relying on the index. She found what she wanted and will stay. The easy to do people will go on to the next phase, leaving uw "hard-core" folk holding the fort (and expanding it).
I imagine they are just trying to attract more people to try family history. You know, get them in the door and get them hooked. Then teach them about the process of finding their ancestors. To represent the research aspect, maybe they could have included a picture of someone dressed in an old-time detective outfit with a magnifying glass. That would have been fun, 'cause isn't that how we genealogists picture ourselves anyway? :)ReplyDelete
Oddly, nearly half the items in the piece require that someone had done ~research~ or created ~records~.ReplyDelete
I agree with Geolover, without the 'oddly.' The ad is clearly, to me, attempting to place the ten activities, that are widely promoted in the media, in the context of family history. Involvement would be expected to result in digging out the details... sort of assumed, in my view.ReplyDelete
Interesting article and perspective.
Drawing people to do family history/genealogy work is a challenge. The new attempt to draw people in will be temporary until a few of them catch the desire to dig deeper. It is fun being a genealogist as we can encourage them in their digging, usually one step at a time. They will take breaks in the process and overlook much that could help in their research without understanding how. That is our role as genealogists, to be patient and slowly educate those who will listen.ReplyDelete
Looking at the promotion, it seems to me that this is geared toward an LDS audience (4 - Prepare Ancestor's Names For The Temple). Because of this, I think that the ad is geared, in part, toward engaging people who already have a knowledge of their family history or have family that does genealogy. Perhaps people whose grandmother did genealogy and left a stack of papers behind, younger generations who are more tech savvy and can help spread to word about FamilySearch's technology, etc. It might be about engaging people who already are familiar with genealogy, but don't participate themselves.ReplyDelete
I also think that the "more than dates, records, and research" goes, in part, to the religious aspect. I don't know what the #4 idea entails, but it's obviously religious. I think there's an implication that beyond the dates, etc., is a higher purpose. Genealogy is about family and spiritual fulfillment (don't know if that's the right word). It's not tedious, it's meaningful... and fun.
Speaking specifically to your critique, you say: "How do you move from something such as interviewing family members and sharing their stories online, to finding the identity of unknown family members." To me, this is a big part of genealogy. How can I not interview my relatives? They have a ton of information about people I never met. If I hadn't interview my Grandmother, I would have never known that her father's birth name was not "Mack," which he used on all of his records from his 20's on. I would never have found his childhood census records because he changed his name. Sure, it's not a primary document, but it can tell me where to look for those documents. When I've shared the information they gave me on my blog, I've connected with more cousins who have been able to give me more information. Again, you back up these stories with documents, but it's a place to start.

My family is rather busy but I suspect they will get the "bug" eventually. Some of that "glitz" and being shown and told has sparked an interest in my grandson (College age). He is quite interested in "roll playing" currently Vikings. Does his homework too. Knows quite a bit about them. He has also become interested in chain mail making. Why? His grandmother. Being told (and proved since I'm a Colonial Dame XVII Century) about some of his ancestor's (Knight's and a few Kings)gave him a feeling of "it's for real". Makes a difference. I was told some of my family history at age 12...Salem Witch trials, Rebecca Towne Nurse, Mary Towne Esty, and that got me curious. First step. May not always "take", but once in a while it does. At the very least he's into history. Which isn't a bad thing.ReplyDelete

After a four-month ordeal in a top security Mexican prison, U.S. Marine Jon Hammar came back home to his family in Palmetto Bay, Fla., Monday morning, just in time for Christmas.
Neighbors showed the Hammars their support by tying yellow ribbons on palm trees near their residence. "I can't imagine anything worse than having your kid locked up in a Mexican jail," said a neighbor interviewed by WSVN-7 in Miami.
But even though the worst may be over, the 27-year old is still recovering from a very bad chest cold and a stomach ailment he acquired in the Matamoros jail. His first stop in U.S. territory was actually a Louisiana hospital, where he was checked in and treated for the debilitating illness.
"He's still very sick, but we're taking care of him," said his father Jon Hammar, Sr. Monday to a local TV station. "We're trying to get on with the day and have a great Christmas," he added. "He can barely stand up right now."
Last week, it was unclear whether Hammar would make it home in time for the holidays.
Hammar was headed to Costa Rica in August when he drove across the Mexican border with a friend and was arrested over an antique gun he was carrying in his luggage. U.S. authorities had told him he could declare the unloaded shotgun at the border, but once there Mexican authorities held him saying they had yet to determined whether there was an intent to commit a crime.
Hammar was sent to the Matamoros prison, where, at one point, inmates affiliated with local drug cartels telephoned Hammar's parents to try to extort money from them.
U.S. officials intervened, and Hammar was separated from the general inmate population. But he still spent much of his time chained to a bed.
The case got national attention after the family pleaded for his release and several lawmakers, including Florida Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat, and U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla, urged the State Department to step in.

LMA sorry about Mackay statement
The League Managers Association has apologised for the statement it released yesterday regarding Malky Mackay, saying some of the wording "was inappropriate and has been perceived to trivialise matters of a racist, sexist or homophobic nature".
The LMA released a statement on behalf of former Cardiff manager Mackay on Thursday night after the 42-year-old Scot and Iain Moody were alleged to have shared racist, sexist and homophobic texts when they worked together at the Welsh club.
The initial statement said Mackay had been under pressure at the time of the messages and that he was ''letting off steam to a friend during some friendly text message banter".
Former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay is facing allegations of misconduct
That statement has been widely criticised by anti-discrimination campaigners within the game, and the LMA today felt compelled to apologise for how the first release had been worded.
"The LMA apologises for some of its wording, in its release yesterday, which was inappropriate and has been perceived to trivialise matters of a racist, sexist or homophobic nature. That was certainly not our intention," the statement read.
"It is beyond argument that any comments that are discriminatory, even used in private, are totally unacceptable. The LMA remains absolutely aware of our responsibility to the game and to promote and uphold the highest standards of behaviour."
The new LMA statement concluded: "The LMA will not be commenting further on the allegations relating to Malky Mackay whilst the Football Association conducts its investigation, other than to repeat that both the LMA and Malky will be co-operating fully.
"We will continue to work with all of the game's stakeholders to address the important issues of respect and discriminatory behaviour in all its forms."
Cardiff were also upset with the initial statement by the LMA, Press Association Sport understands.
Current Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, meanwhile, says he has not encountered any form of racism during his time in football.
Solskjaer, speaking at his press conference ahead of tomorrow's Sky Bet Championship game at Wolves, refused to comment on the specifics of the Mackay case.
But Solskjaer said: "From my experience I had no problem in my dressing rooms at Man United or Molde.
"We all have opinions and I think people know my stand on it.
"I will discuss mine in due time but I know if I say what happens, if I say something, it will create headlines.
"I don't want to say anything to take my focus away from the players."
Troy Townsend, the education and development manager for the anti-discrimination campaign group Kick It Out, said regarding the LMA's new statement: "I wish this was the statement they had prepared yesterday.
"Does today undo the damage from yesterday? I don't think it does. It is welcome but yesterday will stick in people's minds. I wish (the LMA) had taken a step back and said 'this would have been more appropriate' in the first place."
QPR manager Harry Redknapp has defended Mackay, admitting he made a mistake but that the matter "should not finish (Mackay's) life". Redknapp added: "He hasn't murdered anyone, he hasn't raped anyone and he is not a paedophile."
Townsend was dismayed by Redknapp's comments and told Press Association Sport: "What he has said has no benefit at all. I don't know what is in Harry's head when he's saying that.
"(Mackay's alleged comments) have anti-Semitic and racial connotations and at the end of the day it's affecting a group of people and we should be more respectful of those people.
"What Harry has said shows a lack of understanding about the situation. These are really sensitive issues and you have to respect the reasons behind them. He's almost saying 'it ain't that bad is it?', but unfortunately for some people, it is."
Former England striker Stan Collymore described the LMA's first statement as being ''f****** disgraceful''.
He said on Twitter: ''LMA statement. F****** disgraceful. Institutional acceptance of the 'banter' of casual racism.''
He does feel Mackay deserves a second chance, though, adding: ''Always kind to me, hope he says sorry (if true) and moves on.''
Another former player who has worked closely on eliminating discrimination, Jason Roberts, tweeted excerpts from the LMA's initial statement and then said: ''That's it..I'm done for the evening..The LMA said it better than I ever could.. They are actually being serious! Somebody drafted that..WOW!''
Moody resigned from his position as sporting director of Palace on Thursday after the allegations surfaced in a Daily Mail article.
Press Association Sport understands Cardiff's sending of the dossier to the FA was not deliberately timed to have any effect on Mackay's candidacy for the Palace job.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.
