Police: Mom charged after heroin, kids found in filthy home
Buckets being used for toilets in parts of home, police say
A Middletown woman is accused of having several grams of heroin in a filthy home with her children.
Nicole Moland's home was raided by the city's special operations unit this week, police said.
"I was shocked by it. I pulled up to my house and saw all the police cars. They had a truck. I didn't know what was going on," neighbor James Livingston said.
Officers said they found 1.3 grams of heroin in the 33-year-old woman's bedroom, plus another 14 grams in a separate bag.
Police said the house was "extremely dirty and unsanitary and unfit for the children to be living there." Officers said there was no heat or running water, and several pots or buckets were being used as toilets in parts of the house.
Moland's four children were placed with her sister, Ethel Wallace, who told WLWT News 5's Brian Hamrick that things looked worse than they actually were.
"The wrong place at the wrong time. My sister's tried, (but) it just seems like trouble finds her," Wallace said.
Wallace says she believes the heroin belonged to someone else and that her sister and the kids rarely stayed at her home.
"That's her address, but you have to know my sister. I mean, she was here with my mom more than anything," Wallace said.
Moland was charged with endangering children and possession of drugs. She is being held on a $70,000 bond.

"A fur jacket is seriously fabulous". The resurgence of big, fluffy fur jackets on and off the runway gives quite a bit of authority to this claim. For many designers, nothing matches the play in proportions and textures quite like fur. For the wearer, very little can compete with the sensation of leaving the house wrapped in a warm fur coat.
Making a series of trans-Atlantic observations, the team at Mytheresa has noticed how each city has its own unique play on how a fur jacket is worn. In Sydney, where temperatures never go too low, Sydneysiders make good use of natural long wavy hair, denim and a fur gilet. A refreshingly upscale solution to beachside bohemia, and that pesky good weather. On the other end of the thermometer, are girls in Moscow. While fur in Russia has a long-held tradition, more recently we have seen some wonderfully new ways to wear fur jackets that are seriously inspiring our own wardrobes. Bold colours or, in contrast, a cream fur jacket and muted greys, worn either laidback with flared jeans or super glamorous, the girls wearing fur straight off the runway can certainly be found here.
The Parisians also have a fond history with fur. One of the things we love to observe on the streets of Paris, is that even young girls run about town in a perfect mink jacket. Classic and understated in their execution, French girls are often drawn to wearing classical coffee hues or furs in their natural state, with neat trousers and flat shoes or little black dresses. That said, Paris haute couture week is always an exception to the rule, with wild puffs of vibrant colours in the form of a short fur jacket, seen on iconic figures crossing the Jardin des Tuileries.
The Milanese women must be influenced by the high level of artistry that surrounds them. With labels such as Marni, Fendi and Prada close by, it's no wonder. A pair of driving shoes worn with skinny trousers and a creative fur jacket, finished off with a splattering of costume jewellery, is a very Milanese look. London girls really know how to wear a shearling jacket! High-waisted black jeans or girly dresses matched with heavy sheepskin jackets, the Burberry look can be seen across town from Shoreditch house to Sloane dinner parties.
Stockholm loves a black fur-lined jacket, understated but very warm! Swedish girls use their minimal aesthetic, not often associated with a black fur jacket, to create crisp, casual looks. This style can be easily replicated with oversized shirts, sneakers and the right climate.
There are a few fur trends that are stretching across all cities, a long-line fur vest belted at the waist worn with wide legs pants or knit dresses. A grey fur jacket in a variety of the finest furs, worn with leather trousers and often matched with an equally chic pair of Valentino pumps. Stella McCartney, champion of high quality faux fur, has created fur wraps that are as snuggly as they are chic. The rock'n'roll fox fur jacket is well and truly back on trend thanks to Saint Laurent
We love fur-lined and fur-hooded jackets from Yves Salomon, they're the kind of parka that packs well, can save you on days when the temperature makes an unexpected drop, and are a total saviour when a little brightening up is needed. So if you're going under the radar in a fur-lined jacket, going all out in a short fur jacket over an elaborate evening gown, or just being cosy in a fur wrap for a weekend away, we stand by where we started – a fur jacket is seriously fabulous.

Ice rink proposal on Fairfield Hills agenda
NEWTOWN -- With spring finally here, some might find it odd that folks are considering bringing ice sports to Newtown.
But as hockey and skating fans are aware, winter isn't necessary to play these sports.
The Fairfield Hills Authority is slated Monday to consider a proposal to build an ice arena suitable to accommodate a National Hockey League-size rink with seating for 1,200 spectators and an accompanying smaller rink with four curling lanes. Locker rooms, lounge areas, a restaurant, a pro shop and party rooms are part of a plan spelled out in a letter of intent forwarded in November to town Director of Planning and Land Use George Benson.
Fairfield Hills Authority Chairman Thomas Connors said the letter will be discussed before considering what the authority wants to require of prospective tenants and developers. Connors said the authority has at times wrestled with what constitutes a bona fide proposal.
"This fits into our effort to make the development process a little bit easier for potential tenants and developers," Connors said of crafting the criteria for the project approval.
The authority has not voted on letters of intent submitted to the land-use or economic development offices, nor has it established criteria to be contained in those letters, Connors said. Authority members have stated they want to give this more consideration so there is more uniformity for any campus proposal, he said.
In their initial letter, the Newtown Ice Arena principals Paul Esposito and Kris Kenny did not spell out particulars, but the two high school hockey coaches offered a concept that includes a draft plan they worked on with Claris Construction. They have consulted with Peter D'Amico, founder of the Newtown Youth Academy, the first private enterprise to be constructed on the campus after the town's 2004 purchase.
The Fairfield Hills master plan calls for the 187-acre campus to become a community destination incorporating recreation, municipal services, cultural and performing arts as well as commercial and retail activities.
The ice arena is one of several projects proposed to the authority for consideration.
"We need a checklist, a way to make the process better, and that will then help the people who come before us," Connors said.

It seems Microsoft may finally be pulling it all together. The upcoming Windows 8 shows all the necessary signs of a promising cloud strategy across devices, while the Nokia team up has brought some bling back to Microsoft's mobile line up. Factor in the latest SmartGlass revelation, and it's clear Microsoft is taking on the cloud full force.
Similar to Google, Microsoft's pooling a strategy around its existing products, from game consoles to office software. And similar to Apple's strategy, Microsoft is streamlining its OS around a narrow device lineup, connecting everything in the cloud. The payoff is already predicted to hit in 2016, when IDC expects Windows Phone to overtake Apple iOS as the second-most dominant mobile platform in the market. And taking a look at some recent developments from Microsoft, IDC's prediction may be onto something.
Their refocus has breathed new life into Microsoft's brand, garnering consumer and developer support, even if only demonstrated by a raised eyebrow of curiosity. And the third party frameworks are taking notice, shifting their own tactics to reflect the building buzz around Windows Phone in particular. This week alone Telerik affirmed its dedication to Windows Phone with a new toolkit for the Metro UI. And mobile ad network Millennial Media, recently gone public, has just added a Windows Phone SDK to their lineup. Certainly, more third party platforms are seeking ways to segue developers into the world of Windows Phone.

"The [Microsoft] form factor is so useful for enterprises," says Telerik's Chris Sells, VP of their Developer Tools division. "And the Metro-style dashboard is useful for presenting information at the higher level.
"The problem with Android and iOS is IT administrators have to make these work for the enterprise space, whereas the power of Metro UI combined with the fact that it's Windows means you can integrate with an enterprise network much easier. Microsoft is very interested in the consumerization of IT."
Who's pushing interest in Windows Phone now?
What is this resurgence of faith in Windows Phone and what's its origin? Is Microsoft pulling the strings, or has the Redmond, Wa. company truly struck a cord with developers and consumers?
It's likely a combination of all of the above, converging in time for a Windows 8 release. Microsoft's certainly upped the ante on its marketing, even luring developers with monetary incentives in hopes of distracting mobile app makers away from rival platforms Android and iOS. This week's E3 conference was a phenomenal display of consumer appeal, with the announcement of 35 new content partners for streaming media through its Xbox gaming console-turned home entertainment hub. There's now over 30 million songs, sports-streaming from ESPN, on-demand movies from Paramount and even popular cable lineups courtesy of a partnership with Comcast.
Let's not forget SmartGlass, an application connecting your smartphone, tablet, smartTV and Xbox console. Something like Apple AirPlay, Microsoft's taking the broader approach by supporting Android and iOS devices as well. SmartGlass lets you stream content across connected devices, providing a second screen that accompanies movies, TV shows or games from the main screen. SmartGlass will, for instance, automatically pull up an interactive map on your tablet while you watch HBO's Game of Thrones on TV. From there you can search cast members, pulling up their family trees to contextualize the show as you watch each episode.
Though SmartGlass isn't a commercially available product (look for it to hit the app stores sometime after this summer), it's already being hailed as a possible technology to help save Windows Phone, its smartphones and tablets. The potential game-changer really taps into the consumer market, and fits nicely with Microsoft's extended goals around Kinect, Xbox, search and mobile devices. Paul McDougall of InformationWeek sees this spilling into the enterprise sector, like the banking industry. The real promise of SmartGlass is its adhesiveness in an interactive ecosystem that spans the consumer and enterprise gadget space, relying heavily on Microsoft's pre-existing software outlets. Indeed, Microsoft's planted the seed, and the cloud is bringing the rain to make this ecosystem grow.
Cultivating loyal developers to boost the WP ecosystem
The result is a growing interest from developers, who tend to follow the consumer herd. Mobile development platform Appcelerator has noted an uptick in developer interest for Windows Phone over the last three quarters, even as interest in Android declines. "It's driven primarily, we think, by developers looking for alternatives, and there's a lot of promise around Windows, especially with the Nokia partnership and Windows 8," says Mike King, Appcelerator's principle mobile strategist. "Early work and beta testing on the OS has been positive."
Despite steadily growing developer interest and a massive PR effort, Windows Phone has barely gained OS market share in the last three years, hovering around three percent in the shadow of Android and iOS. With the cloud, Google's been able to tap into consumer activity beyond Microsoft Office. With device simplicity, Apple's been able to win consumer loyalty amidst Windows-powered PCs and smartphones. Many thought Microsoft had already missed the window of opportunity to translate its dominance over the PC world to the mobile space, but Microsoft is grasping at a self-imposed second chance. According to King, Microsoft really doesn't have a choice.
One key to a winning Microsoft strategy is to "narrow the scope of devices to minimize the amount of fragmentation developers will have to deal with," King explains. Fragmentation has been a heavy burden for Android, and Microsoft's advantage is a more streamlined device lineup around its OS. Unlike Google, Microsoft must remain focused on its OS, whereas Android's parent company still generates as much revenue from ad sales on iOS and Windows Phone devices as it does on its own Android handsets. The resulting loyalty Microsoft could gain from developers by reducing fragmentation is manifested in a burgeoning ecosystem of apps and services, working across Microsoft devices and leveraging Windows' unique capabilities around its native OS. This is Microsoft's big play to really own the mobile stack, and successful implementation of the cloud is the only way to win.

Adding Value with an MBA
What's the value of an MBA?
In the old days, great companies such as General Motors and DuPont emerged before educational programs in business administration existed, though they had their own "scientific" methods for training executives. More recently, some firms such as Microsoft were started by college dropouts. But today, even tech companies guided by visionaries employ businesspeople with advanced degrees such as MBAs.
That makes a ton of sense. In retrospect, it's amazing how much I learned in my own MBA program. The formal instruction came in classes on finance or taxation or marketing, all of which taught specific techniques, specific regulations and specific protocols.
But the real learning came in a deeper understanding of what "business" is all about — creating products that people want and will pay for. In MBA programs, students learn that business is a worthwhile endeavor, that profit is an honest motivator and that collaboration is necessary if you want to bring home the prize. In simple terms, the programs teach how to think in a businesslike manner and how best to evaluate the myriad choices that each of us faces in our professional lives.
Each year, Florida Trend explores the MBA programs offered in the state. What was once a fixed two-year regimen now ranges from the traditional schedule to weekend programs, online programs, accelerated programs and all manner of combinations. This year's report starts with a focus on how professors integrate their real-world experiences into the classroom. Textbooks and tax tables are a necessary evil, but the fun of business comes from the hustle and bustle of real companies making real products for real people.
This year, the two-month Legislative session starts March 4. But committees have been meeting since last September in anticipation of the heated frenzy that will play out over the next 60 days.
Florida Trend writes about the session in this edition. We lead with Amy Keller's article on gambling, an issue that will be contested by a host of big-money players. The atmosphere has every component that thriller authors like Carl Hiassen would want — money, tourism, addiction, religion, internationalism, dogs, horses and family values. Did I mention money? As you will read, the fact that it's an election year makes it unlikely that the state will see wholesale changes to our gambling laws. At a minimum, however, this session will preview fights that will play out in 2015.
Amy writes about other important topics as well. Lawmakers will have more money to spend — how much will they give back to citizens through tax cuts? Will Florida's bond indebtedness fall again? After a few tight years, can our universities and state colleges count on more funding? What about K-12 public schools? Will environmentalists be pacified by more money for the Everglades and other natural habitats?
While all of these issues are important, I believe we should look at the state's finances on a long-term basis. Two particular topics come to mind. One is pension reform, the need to make sure that state and local governments don't promise more than they can deliver over the coming decades. Call me a pessimist, but I'm concerned our governments are incurring debts that our children won't be able to pay. And second is the internet sales tax. Out of fairness to our local retailers, we must collect the taxes that are already due for online or mail-order purchases.
Pension reform involves the cost side of the business, while the internet sales tax would increase the state's revenue. As any businessperson knows — or as any MBA soon finds out — the strong executive works on both sides of the ledger sheet. Florida should, too.
— Andy Corty

Home Heating Systems

Heat is often taken for granted because for the most part our heating systems are controlled by a simple turn of the thermostat and magically we have heat! In recent times, homeowners are becoming more conscious of how much heat is used because energy costs are taking a bigger bite out of our household budgets.

11 Common Interview Questions That Are Actually Illegal
It's up to the interviewee to recognize these questions for what they are.
Any questions that reveal your age, race, national origin, gender, religion, marital status and sexual orientation are off-limits.
"State and federal laws make discrimination based on certain protected categories, such as national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, disabilities, arrest and conviction record, military discharge status, race, gender, or pregnancy status, illegal.
Any question that asks a candidate to reveal information about such topics without the question having a job related basis will violate the various state and federal discrimination laws," Lori Adelson, a labor and employment attorney and partner with law firm Arnstein & Lehr, tells Business Insider.
"However, if the employer states questions so that they directly relate to specific occupational qualifications, then the questions may be legitimate. Clearly, the intent behind the question needs to be examined."
If you are asked any inappropriate questions, Adelson advises not to lie, but, instead, politely decline to answer.
"Could they not give you a job because of that? Sure. But if they do, they would be doing exactly what they're not supposed to do."

Oakland pulled off a trade yesterday, sending Trevor Cahill, Craig Breslow and some cash to the Diamondbacks. In return, Oakland received "one of the Diamondbacks' top young pitching prospects, right-hander Jarrod Parker, plus outfielder Collin Cowgill and reliever Ryan Cook, a pair of rookies."
Twitter—and the world at large—however, received validation of its existence as Breslow finally relented his campaign of not believing in Twitter. As you can see, he can no longer deny its effectiveness as a news spreading, and breaking, tool. Tweets like this will now replace the typical quotes given to reporters we usually hear from salty athletes griping "this is news to me" or "I'm hearing it from you for the first time."
Breslow doesn't seem particularly salty, though. He seems downright nice. Just look at his timeline. He's thanked every Tom, DIck and Harry to wish him luck. And, any minute I'm sure, he'll be going wild on the #replacewordinmoviewith[curseword] hashtag.

I recently saw an explanation of Advent that said something to the effect that "If you're tired of Christmas by the 25th of December you are doing Advent wrong."
This is because Christmas, as per the Liturgical Calendar (the schedule of the seasons of the Church year) doesn't begin until Dec. 24 and lasts all the way to the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which this year is not until January 12.
Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus, in time, almost 2,000 years ago and in our lives all the time. Because the secular observance of Christmas seems to last until Jan 26 when all the stores re-open, so people can return all the gifts they opened the day before, we can lose sight of the opportunity to really celebrate, contemplate, and enjoy the reality of God's love for humanity revealed in the sending of his Son to save us for all eternity.
In the middle of the Christmas Season is the Feast of Epiphany, the remembrance of three visitors from the East who came bearing gifts for the newborn King of the Jews. This feast is a perfect opportunity to more deeply reflect on the coming of Jesus in our own lives.
Years ago on the Feast of Epiphany the homily at my parish was pretty much given by the congregation. My pastor began by reminding us that the Magi traveled a great distance following a star so they could find Jesus. He then asked the people in the church what was our "star," what lead us to find Jesus in our life; in short what was our personal epiphany moment?
For the next 20 minutes Father Beaumont scurried all over the church with the microphone as people shared about the people who helped them grow in faith, or the retreat they attended that changed their life, or the way the Scriptures had impacted their faith, or about a specific moment in prayer, or at Mass or in nature or in silence when they encountered the living God.
The stories were as varied as they were numerous. Each in their own way revealing the countless ways that God reveals himself to humanity. I can remember that Mass like it was yesterday, even though it was close to 20 years ago.
All of the decorating and cooking, and wrapping and unwrapping are important parts of celebrating Christmas, but if we are to successfully avoid the trap of kicking Christmas to the curb along with our Christmas tree a few days after Dec. 25 we have to intentionally find ways to make Christmas about the Incarnation.
If God had not emptied himself to embrace humanity, life, not just Christmas, would lose its meaning. The Incarnation is the seminal moment in creation. It simultaneously raised the dignity of the human person, opened the door for salvation, gave us a mediator and direct connection to the Father, and paved the way for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus the God, man is the focal point of our lives, even if we do not consciously think about it all that often. The season of Christmas is the perfect time to seriously consider our relationship with the Lord.
So, whether it is on the Feast of the Mother of God (January 1) or Epiphany (January 6) or the Baptism of the Lord (January 12) or even someplace in between, I encourage you to take a few moments to think about your "star." What led you to find Jesus in your life; in short what is your personal epiphany moment?
Then, once you know what it is, share it with someone, post it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or find a way to Instagram it. Knowing your story is one thing; sharing it is what we are called to do. Like the great Christmas song says: "Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus is Christ is born" (in your life).
But don't stop there, be like Pope Francis, live the words you speak. Put into action the love you have received from God. For when we do this, the truth of Christmas impacts the world around us every day of the year.
I recently saw an explanation of Advent that said something to the effect that "If you're tired of Christmas by the 25th of December you are doing Advent wrong."

Twenty years ago today, Kirby made his debut in Japan on the Gameboy in Kirby's Dream Land. Today, we celebrate the adorable ball of pink's birthday, and some of us commiserate with his inability to drink in certain countries. Fortunately I am not amongst those that do.
To celebrate, I've gathered some standout fan renditions of what is one of the cutest, most playful characters created in the video game world. Featured above is a yarn-laced Kirby from Kirby's Epic Yarn, because how can you not appreciate the soft colors and cute fabric stitching? But following in the gallery are many other interpretations, many of which include hybrid game characters. Be sure to click on the source links for full versions.
I want to stress that there are a *ton* more amazing pieces of fan art out there. These are just a few to commemorate Kirby's twenty years of existence.

USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 11, 2013) - The current U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Weekly update released on March 11 includes briefs on U.S. players.
AKINRADEWO WITH AZERBAIJAN'S RABITA BAKU: Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), a silver medalist with the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team at the 2012 Olympic Games, is competing for Rabita Baku in the Azerbaijan Super League. During the CEV Champions League semifinal round on March 9 at Istanbul, Turkey, Rabita Baku edged Italy's Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio 25-14, 25-16, 27-29, 19-25, 15-6. Akinradewo collected 13 kills on 21 attacks as part of a 62 kill percent, in addition to four blocks and an ace for 18 total points. In the title match, Rabita Baku lost to VakifBank Istanbul 25-17, 25-20, 25-23 on March 10. Akinradewo contributed nine points, all coming on kills via 16 attacks. Rabita Baku has reached the CEV Champions League title match twice (2011 and 2013), and both times have lost to VakifBank. To view a photo gallery of the CEV Champions League Final Four, click here. In the Azerbaijan Super League, Rabita Baku remains in first place with 37 points, or two points more than Igtisadchi despite playing one less match during the regular season.
HODGE, WILSON WITH AZERBAIJAN'S AZERRAIL BAKU: Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), a silver medalist on the 2012 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, is playing for Azerbaijan's Azerrail Baku in 2012-2013 along with fellow Penn State University alum Arielle Wilson (Broadview, Ill.). In the Azerbaijan Super League, Azerrail continues to hold third place in the league standings with 30 points, or five points behind second-place Igtisadchi and seven points behind league-leader Rabita Baku.
METCALF WITH AZERBAIJAN'S IGTISADCHI BAKU: Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa), an opposite on the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, is playing for Igtisadchi Baku of the Azerbaijan Super League in 2012-2013. In the Azerbaijan Super League, Igtisadchi is in second place with 35 points, two behind league-leader Rabita as the league has been on a short hiatus with the CEV Champions League Finals taking place.
TAMAS WITH AZERBAIJAN'S BAKI AZERYOLSERVIS: Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.), a 2008 silver medalist with the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, is playing for Baki Azeryolservis of the Azerbaijan Super League in 2012-2013. Baki Azeryolservis is in fifth place with 20 points, two points behind fourth-place Lokomotiv, as the league is on a short hiatus with the CEV Champions League this past weekend.
MIYASHIRO, SPICER WITH AZERBAIJAN'S LOKOMOTIV BAKU: Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii), a silver medalist with the 2012 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, signed mid-season with Azerbaijan's Lokomotiv Baku. Lokomotiv Baku dropped a 25-19, 25-15, 25-19 match to second-place Igtisadachi on March 3. Lokomotiv remains in fourth place in the league standings with 22 points through the 17th stop.
LLOYD, FAUCETTE WITH ITALY'S YAMAMAY BUSTO ARSIZIO: Carli Lloyd (Bonsall, Calif.), a setter with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, is competing in the Italian Serie A1 league with Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio in 2012-2013 along with American Juliann Faucette (San Diego). Both athletes played for Epic Volleyball Club in San Diego as juniors before going separate ways at the collegiate level. During the CEV Champions League semifinal round on March 9 at Istanbul, Turkey, Busto Arsizio nearly came back from a two-set deficit before falling 25-14, 25-16, 27-29, 19-25, 15-6 to Azerbaijan's Rabita Baku. Busto Arsizio was provided a lift off the bench from Lloyd, who had missed much of the season due to injury. She entered as a sub in the second set, helping to even up the match two sets apiece. Lloyd set the squad to a 45.3 percent in the three middle sets after the dismal start. Faucette was a reserve in the second and third sets, recording one kill one three attacks. In the CEV Champions League bronze-medal match, Busto Arsizio had the two set lead over Turkey's Galatsaray before claiming a hard-fought 25-21, 25-15, 23-25, 22-25, 15-11 victory. On the strength of her semifinal performance, Lloyd started the bronze medal match and helped Busto Arsizio to a 40 kill percent for the match. She added a kill and ace for two individual points. Faucette was a sub in the first and fifth sets, but did not score a point. To view a photo gallery of the match, click here. To view a photo gallery of the awarding ceremony, click here. With the CEV Champions League complete, Busto Arsizio now moves on to the Italian Cup semifinal match versus McCarnaghi Villa Cortese on March 16. The gold match will be played March 17 against the winner of semifinalists Foppapedretti Bergamo and Rebecchi Nordmeccanica Piacenza. Busto Arsizio (12-3, 37 points), which holds a seven-point lead over second-place Foppapedretti Bergamo, resumes Italian Serie A1 action on March 21 versus third-place McCarnaghi Villa Cortese (8-7, 26 points).
KLINEMAN WITH ITALY'S ASYSTEL McCARNAGHI VILLA CORTESE: Alix Klineman (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) returns to the Italian Serie A1 for a second season, but will compete for Asystel McCarnaghi Villa Cortese in 2012-2013. In the Italian Serie A1, third-place Villa Cortese (8-7, 26 points) challenges league-leader Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio (12-3, 37 points) on March 21 in its next league match which is delayed due to its opponent's participation in the CEV Champions League final round March 9-10. Prior to the resumption of the regular season action, Villa Cortese meets Busto Arsizio in the Italian Cup semifinals on March 16 with the gold match March 17.
GIBBEMEYER WITH ITALY'S VOLLEY PESARO: Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minn.), a middle blocker with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, is competing for KGS Robursport Volley Pesaro in the Italian Serie A1 league in 2012-2013. Pesaro edged Volley 2002 Forli Bologna 23-25, 25-22, 24-26, 25-21, 16-14 on March 10. Gibbemeyer recorded four kills on 18 attacks and four blocks in the victory. Pesaro (7-9, 18 points), which moved up to seventh place, challenges eighth-place Chateau D'Ax Urbino (6-9, 18 points) on March 23 in its next regular season match.
BERG WITH TURKEY'S FENERBAHCE: Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), a two-time Olympic Games silver medalist with the U.S. and three-time Olympian, signed to play with Fenerbahce in the Turkish League mid-way through the regular season. In the Turkish League, Fenerbahce swept Nilufer Belediye Sport 25-20, 25-15, 25-21 on March 6 in a match that was originally scheduled for Feb. 24 but delayed due to the CEV Cup. Berg did not play in the match. Fenerbahce holds a makeup match with Galatasaray still on the schedule back from March 3, plus its March 10 match versus Sanyer Bld due to the CEV Champions League competition that took place in Turkey over the weekend.
RICHARDS HILDEBRAND WITH TURKEY'S BAKIRKOY BELEDIYE YESILYURT: Kristin Richards Hildebrand (Orem, Utah), alternate for both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Teams, is competing for Bakirkoy Belediye Yesilyurt in the Turkish League. Yesilyurt was set to place Bursa B Sehir Bld on March 10, but the match was postponed with the CEV Champions League semifinals and finals taking place last weekend in Turkey.
TOM WITH BRAZIL'S UNILEVER: Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), a four-time U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball selection with two silver medals, is playing this winter with Unilever in Brazil's Superliga. Unilever, the top seed in the playoffs, started its best-of-three semifinal round series with fifth-seed Sesi-Sao Paulo with a 23-25, 25-17, 25-20, 25-16 victory on March 8. Tom remained out of the lineup with an injury. The second match of the semifinals takes place on March 16 at Rio De Janeiro's famed Maracanazinho Hall.

WCH-New York necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 95 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
Wesleyan Church of Hamburg
The Wesleyan Church of Hamburg (WCH) is a church for today's families. It is a place to come and be with people who've discovered the joy of Christian life! We believe that church should be fun, exciting, meaningful and relevant to the world we live in. We teach timeless truths from God's Word that can be applied to your daily life. We are a family-oriented church in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York. We have incredible ministries to children and youth, as well as, to those needed extra support to face additctions, grief, divorce and more. Casual church where relationships with each other are key to helping us grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thrity-somethings with children who are or have become dis-interested in church.
We do not want heavy religious icons used. WCH has a more contemporary style than traditional. Very family oriented. We are not very ethnically diverse because the make-up of our community is not very diverse. Middle-class white suburban families but very connected to outreach in the City of Buffalo.
Logo will be used as a strong image in branding ourselves within the community. We would like colors indicating life and growth, but more in the earthy colors. We want colors to reflect life, vitality, etc…, colors that bring emotion.
Logo will be used for letterhead, brochures, banners, media, etc… Portions of the logo may need to stand alone, away from the logo as a whole.
We want to stay away from religious icons that associate with other religions or denominations or those indoctrinated into other faiths.

UH files Terminal Disclaimer on taro patents
Action dissolves university proprietary or ownership interestsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
UH Manoa Vice Chancellor for Research
The University of Hawaiʻi has reached an agreement with representatives of the Native Hawaiian community that resolves issues surrounding patents on improvements to some varieties of taro created by UH research work.
Under terms of the agreement, the university has filed Terminal Disclaimers with the U.S. Patent Office that in effect dissolve all university proprietary or ownership interests of any kind in the three taro varieties under discussion.
"We are pleased that this issue has come to a resolution," said Manoa Vice Chancellor for Research Gary K. Ostrander. "he university has acted sincerely and in good faith to respect the rights of Native Hawaiians in this matter. We believe that our actions can be the foundation of a relationship based on mutual trust as we move forward on other issues we may face in the future."
In a statement this morning, Ostrander explained what filing Terminal Disclaimers on the patents means in the Western system:
The Disclaimers were filed on Friday, June 16, 2006. As of that date, neither the university nor anyone else "owns" an interest in the three taro varieties.
* Anyone may now plant them, propagate them, sell or transfer the corms or the complete plants (the huli) to anyone else, and use the varieties to breed new cultivars as if the patents had never existed.
* Existing licensees no longer owe the university any royalties on sales of the taro varieties and may hereafter sell both the corms and huli to anyone else without any accounting to UH at all.
* The UH Office of Technology Transfer and Economic Development (OTTED) will contact existing licensees to inform them of these developments and the termination of their obligations to the university.

Hands On Scotland: Dead Ancestors in Edinburgh
Historical Search Room, General Register House, Edinburgh; http://www.nas.gov.uk
Anticipation of an adventure, they say, is half the fun. Who said that, anyway? It may be the only fun. Time constraints allow for two days at NAS, within the specified hours of 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Every minute is precious. Who knows how much time is eaten up with registering (passport type photos required), orientation, filling out forms, and waiting for retrievals and printouts. Never mind the important in-between part of computer and microfilm searching.
My primary research goals are at the one facility. I pursue Donald McFadyen relentlessly in the perhaps mistaken hypothesis that he served in a militia unit during the 1790s. A previous search of the Breadalbane Muniments was negative, so I apply myself to the collections of the Earls of Airlie and Maclaine of Lochbuie. There are muster and pay rolls for the Breadalbane Fencibles and the Argyllshire Volunteers among them. Somewhere among the meters-long shelving of estate papers. White gloves time, I believe.
My Frasers will receive some attention at GRH since my little expedition has been ordered to make an ancestor detour to Killin in Perthshire. Cousin Lizzie paved the way for me—metaphorically speaking—into a village that may have looked like this when our mutual Duncan Fraser (1783-1867) was the village blacksmith.
Monemore Cottages, Killin, Perthshire; postcard.
I go to GRH armed with specific catalogue references. One collection alone took two days of trawling the online finding aid through hundreds of items. This is the fun part? Not that I'm complaining ... thank you, gods of the NAS for the finding aids! The kinks in my neck and shoulder muscles should recover just in time to assist my pilot in keeping the transatlantic Airbus aloft for seven hours (Monty Python helps ... "Always look on the briiight side ...").
My confidence is still a little shaky that I will understand the accents and vernacular of the native Scots. More archival time eaten up if I embarrass myself by asking them to repeat what they said several times. Or I could pretend to get it the first time, and proceed as if transmission went well. That usually lands me in some hopeless or hilarious (in hindsight) contre-temps but then again it could be a good diversion from intensive, eye-crossing research.
Edinburgh is really the only place on the itinerary that demands absolute research discipline. But only until 4:45 p.m.! What then? The map is mesmerizing. It promises historical sites of sin, depravity, and ancient murder mysteries. Whisky tasting and tartan weaving. Greyfriars Bobby. Campbell's Close. Grassmarket. Deacon Brodie's Tavern? Malt Shovel Inn? Ahhh ... the Hebridean Bar; surely a place for Celtic music.
Dominic Beddow and Claire Littlejohn, The Illustrated Edinburgh Map (Harper Collins Publishers Ltd., 2007).
Now that I've put myself on the published record, we know there must be follow-up. The netbook may or may not decide to obey me but I have Luddite backup. The adventure will unfold, as my granny never said but someone's did, the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise. Being translated means Icelandic volcano, hold your temper, eh? I mean aye.

Mark me jealous. Douglas and I spent a few days with his parents in North Berwick 4 or 5 years ago. No wait. It must be closer to 10 years ago. Never mind that.
We zipped in and out of Edinburgh by commuter train at odd hours and tramped around the center of the city. (North Berwick is about 30 minutes away by train and, for me, it's main draw is the ocean.)
One the the best places we visited was a cheesemongers -- on Victoria Road I think, just below Lawnmarket. It's tempting to go back just to get some Dunsyre Blue cheese (a local, fairly mild and creamy blue cheese.)
Happy hunting in the archives for the elusive and peskily named Donald.

Hi Brenda good luck
Since you have references order before you go they will have them there for you. Also ask them for a for a computor based table not all are. We Scots will happily repeat answers to those across the water so long as the original enquiry is polite. After you have finished at 4.45 if you are still up to it then Edinburgh City libraries on George the IV bridge is still open. . Although you will not have the time have you investgated the catalogue of the National Library of Scotland .
Good luck

Thanks for the tips, Anonymous! I do have one NLS reference I might get to, and then I'd like to drop by the SGS too ... so little time, and so much historical distraction.
