Introduction[edit | edit source]
This page explains what the Freedman's Savings and Trust records are, their value to family historians, lists branch locations, explains their content and how to use them, how to access the records, and lists related Internet sites.
The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company (often called the Freedman's Bank) was created to assist newly freed slaves and African American soldiers at the end of the Civil War. The bank failed in 1874 and many depositors lost their savings, but the records of the bank remain. Among the records are the registers of signatures of depositors. The registers from 29 branches from 1864 to 1871 show the names, residence, and description of each depositor. They may also include the genealogy and relatives of the depositor. Most depositors were African Americans. A few were European immigrants mostly in New York City.

Value[edit | edit source]
The registers of signatures of depositors have several indexes which are easy to use, and include about 480,000 personal names (61,131 depositors and their relatives). They cover a time period when many African Americans were newly freed and may be a source that bridges between their lives in slavery and freedom. The records sometimes show a variety of family history information such as birth date, birthplace, where raised, former owner, employer, occupation, residence, and relatives. Other unmicrofilmed and less well indexed records such as correspondence after the bank failure may also be available at the National Archives to shed further light on depositors.
Jurisdictions[edit | edit source]
The registers cover the years from 1864 to 1871 in 29 out of 37 branches, but you can search the computerized indexes without knowing a depositor's residence.

Content of the records[edit | edit source]
Include the account number, name of depositor, date of entry, and may include the place born, place brought up, residence, age, complexion, name of employer or occupation, wife or husband, children, father, mother, brothers and sisters, remarks, and signature. The early books sometimes also contain the name of the former master or mistress and the name of the plantation. In many entries not all the requested data are given. Copies of death certificates have been pinned to some of the entries. In each case the certificate has been filmed immediately after the page that shows the registration of the person's signature.
The registers are arranged alphabetically by name of state. The entries are arranged alphabetically by name of city where the bank was located, thereunder chronologically by date when the account was established, and thereunder numerically by account number. Many numbers are missing, a few are out of numerical order, and in some cases blocks of numbers were not used. Many registers seem to be missing.
How to Use the Records[edit | edit source]
Find the name in an index. Use either the United States, Freedman's Bank Records, 1865-1874, Heritage Quest Online index and images or Ancestry.com index and images, or compact disc index. If you do not find the person you seek at first, try all three indexes. It is usually best to enter a very simple search phrase such as a name only (no date, places, or other limiting factors). If there are too many matches, add an additional piece of data and then repeat the search. Add additional data piece-by-piece and then repeat the search until you have a reasonable list of matches.
If the first few searches fail to produce matches, try searching for the name by surname only, given name only, or with a variant spelling. Variant spelling may include the use of initials and abbreviations for given names, or try substituting different vowels in the surname. Also, look for the names of relatives and kin in the indexes, hoping their records will mention your ancestor. Keep in mind that after the Civil War, newly freed African American families sometimes changed their surnames several times.
View the record. Depending on where you view the Heritage Quest Online, or Ancestry. com indexes, you may also be able to view images of the original registers for details about ancestors. If not, obtain and view a microfilm copy of the registers. Make a photocopy of original and transfer all of the genealogical data to your family history notekeeping system. It may also be worth considering a trip to the National Archives to view the unmicrofilmed portion of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company records.
If the ancestor or his relatives are not in Freedman's Bank record indexes, other sources for African Americans in this time period include:
- Freedmen's Bureau Records
- 1870 Federal Census and indexes
- Civil War Soldiers and Sailors (U.S. Colored Troops)
- Southern Claims Commission records

Looking for a Skilled Machinist?
We hear it a lot: Shop floor jobs are plentiful, but skilled workers to fill them are not. Are we (collectively, as an industry) doing anything to improve the situation? We certainly are, but it's a long journey that requires perseverance.
In a column in December's Production Machining, PMPA Executive Director Mike Duffin cites several examples of shops that are leading the way with training programs and partnerships with technical colleges and other institutions, as well as with each other, to address this need.
In another example, Dayton Progress Corporation (Dayton, Ohio) offers a Manufacturing Challenge competition aimed at promoting careers in manufacturing to high school students. This year's winner, Greene County Career Center (Xenia, Ohio) received a scholarship grant valued at $40,000, providing its facility with three new computers (and monitors) equipped with up-to-date CAD packages, training for faculty, and five $1,000 student scholarships for Sinclair Community College's skilled manufacturing program. In addition, Dayton Progress is hiring four local high school seniors for after-school internships with the intended result of full-time employment after graduation.
In a similar program (but broader scale), Ronald Olkowski, a student at Ferris State University (Big Rapids, Mich.) has been chosen to represent the United States in Leipzig, Germany, in the CNC turning competition during the biennial WorldSkills Competition in July 2013. Mr. Olkowski was recently awarded the bronze medal in CNC turning during the WorldSkills Americas competition in Brazil, where the U.S. competed against 23 other countries. Besides meeting people from around the world and learning more about their approach to manufacturing, this competition is giving Mr. Olkowski the opportunity to see new types of machine tools and become more familiar with related software and processes.
Programs such as these can be major stepping stones for garnering interest in manufacturing and preparing young adults for careers in our industry. The more companies such as Dayton Progress that take it on themselves to contribute to this learning process, the sooner we can expect the pain of the shortage of skilled shopfloor employees to stop being a drag on our industry, and therefore, our economy.

BOSTON – The head of the FBI's Boston office, one of the main law enforcement figures during the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, announced Tuesday that he's stepping down to take a private-sector job.
Richard DesLauriers, who's been special agent in charge of the office since July 2010, said he will leave next month after more than 26 years with the FBI. He said he has accepted a position as vice-president of corporate security with Penske Corp., a transportation services company, in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
In an interview Tuesday, DesLauriers said he is most proud of his role in the apprehension of reputed mobster and longtime fugitive James "Whitey" Bulger; the arrests of two Boston-area Russian sleeper agents; the arrests and convictions of a man charged with conspiring to help al-Qaida and a man accused in a plot to fly remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives into the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol; and the investigation into the deadly Boston Marathon bombing.
DesLauriers was one of the main faces of law enforcement during the intense, five-day manhunt that led to the capture of the sole surviving suspect following the April 15 marathon bombing, which killed three people.
DesLauriers, 53, four years younger than the mandatory retirement age for FBI agents, said he first learned of the Penske job in March but delayed his decision because of the bombing investigation.
"My time was coming down the pike sooner or later, so this was a good time to pursue an opportunity with a real world-class organization in the private sector," he said.
Before moving to Boston, DesLauriers worked for the FBI in New York and Washington, earning broad experience in counterintelligence work. As special agent in charge of the Boston office, he oversaw the FBI in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
After arriving in Boston, DesLauriers said he would have a "laser-like focus" on the search for Bulger and the investigation into the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist, the largest art heist in U.S. history.
His first goal was reached when Bulger was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011, after more than 16 years on the run. Bulger, 83, is accused of participating in 19 murders during the 1970s and '80s but maintains his innocence. Opening statements in Bulger's trial are scheduled Wednesday.
The Gardner museum heist remains unsolved more than 23 years after two thieves disguised as police officers stole more than $500 million worth of art, but DesLauriers said the FBI had made significant progress.
"I certainly was hoping to recover that art prior to my departure," he said.

Comments about Spectrum™ Paddle Set - Senior (Set of 6):
Great with 3rd grade and up.2nd grade and under the paddle is a bit heavy.There is a cap on the butt of the handle and it falls out all the time. I just took them all off so the kids would stop bringing them to me and complaining. There is a string looped through the end and to tie it off inside the handle there is a cap to cover the hollow handle. I dont know if removing the caps will make the handle weak if dropped. But time will tell. All in All very Happy with the paddles!!

Expert assessment and reviewing of author's materials belong to specific conditions of publication of scientific studies in the journal, promoting the general control of quality and high scientific value of such reports.
Expert assessment and reviewing of author's materials may have 2 procedural forms:
I. Regarding scientific studies, presented for participation in the GISAP research analytics championships:
a) the average ranking mark, given to scientific studies by participants of the research analytics championship (scientific community) and professional scientific council acts as the result of peer review expertise of scientific studies;
b) scientific studies with the average ranking mark not less than 7.5 are accepted for publication;
c) works in high-quality English have the priority in the admission to publication. At the same time scientific works presented in other widespread (acknowledged as widespread) languages of international communication and also in other languages providing their understanding for a wide range of persons (in such cases materials must be accompanied by extended summaries (abstracts) in English) with high average marks achieved in research analytics championships are also accepted for publication. General number of scientific reports in Russian must not exceed 25% of reports in every issue of the journal. This means that scientific researchers in Russian are to be published in issues of the journal within the stated quote and in the order of subsequent following - in accordance with their assessment rankings. In case if certain report in Russian, meeting the above-mentioned requirements is not included in the following issue of the journal, such report will be obligatorily published in the next issue of such journal;
d) scientific reports presented for participation in research analytics championships and meeting the requirements for publication in the journal are also obligatorily published in relevant digests of scientific works of the GISAP project on a regular basis;
II. Regarding scientific studies, presented in the status of the reviewed publications the journal:
a) reviewed publications can only be presented in high quality English in the format, meeting the requirements of the IASHE, with abstract, innovation abstract and the author's questionnaire (CV) in English. In case if the author of the reviewed report in English is the resident of one of post-Soviet states, he must submit a Russian copy of the report (for us to provide Russian-speaking experts with it);
b) in order to be accepted for publication in the relevant issue of the journal original scientific studies, presented for publication without participation in research analytics championships must pass the procedure of scientific reviewing in the following regime: 1) the research must be a reviewed by three scientists - international experts of the IASHE in the relevant branch of science; 2) experts formulate their conclusions in the written form; 3) scientific study may be accepted for publication only upon condition of unanimous positive mark of all three experts; 4) if at least one expert objects the publication of the study in the current form, scientific work will be sent back to the author for additional revision; 5) term of the improvement of the research sent back to the author for independent revision can not exceed three calendar months; 6) scientific work, revised in accordance with the expert conclusions, is presented for the second reviewing to the same list of experts; 7) if all experts (or the majority of experts) make positive conclusions concerning the research during the second reviewing, such material will be accepted for publication in the relevant (next) issue of the journal; 8) term of the primary and secondary expert reviewing cannot exceed 10 calendar days in any case; 9) in case if all or the majority of experts make negative conclusion concerning the research during the secondary reviewing, the article will be sent back to the author for the additional revision in accordance with the above-mentioned rules again; 10) the third expert reviewing of that same scientific article is final. This means that the next negative conclusion concerning the research will bring the impossibility of publication of the report. The relevant agreement between the author and the IASHE is considered to be non-valid from this moment. All the amount of pre-payment for the publication excluding cost of expert services and administrational-organizational expenses of the Academy, will be sent back to the author or the other interested person;
c) Reviewed scientific reports must meet high generally accepted requirements of authors belonging (exclusion of plagiarism), innovativeness (novelty), scientific quality, reasonableness, ethics and tolerance of presentation;
d) Reviewed scientific studies are to be published in the next nearest issue of the journal, published after the admission of such report to the publication;
e) Scientific reports are published in the journals with mandatory listing of all the reviewers of such reports.
Certain peculiarities of the expert reviewing of scientific studies, subject to publication in the IASHE issues:
1. Consequences (factors) and criteria of the expert reviewing of scientific studies:
1) The expert must act on the basis of the following assessment factors while reviewing scientific studies (reports, articles)
a) scientific novelty of the scientific problem resolution method;
b) scientific novelty of the scientific problem statement;
c) degree of reasonableness of statements and conclusions;
d) compliance of goals stated for the scientific report with results presented in it;
e) scientific and practical usefulness and applicability of results of the study;
f) characteristics of general logic of research and the degree of compliance of questions (hypotheses) formulated in the report with answers (conclusions);
g) scale and adequacy of use of special logic-definitive and terminological apparatus in the report;
h) characteristics of structure of the report;
i) science linkage of the research and references studied by the author;
j) qualitative comparison of the report with other scientific works of similar direction;
k) characteristics of the language of presentation (style, orthography, punctuation);
l) other objective criteria of assessment;
m) sincere confidence of the expert concerning understanding of certain scientific factors;
2) While studying and assessing the scientific report the expert must:
a) show maximum objectivity, impartiality and honesty;
b) be absolutely independent in the decision-making process;
c) exclude any direct contacts with authors of scientific studies;
d) hold the scientific discussion with authors of scientific works only through the IASHE;
e) not to allow offensive, inappropriate, arrogant or too moralizing commentaries to scientific works in own expert conclusions;
f) timely correct mistakenly formulated conclusions, if such mistakes are revealed during the term of realization of the expert reviewing of scientific studies;
g) exclude dominance of personal sympathy or discrimination of any kind in the process of making expert conclusions.
3) By any objectively available and legal means the IASHE ensures independence, impartiality and objectivity of experts as well as the impossibility of their direct contacts with other experts and authors of scientific reports regarding their expert functions during the period of the expert reviewing and reasonable period of time after it.
2. Appeal of expert reviews on scientific studies:
a) The author of scientific research unsatisfied with the expert opinion regarding his research and convinced of bias or insufficient professionalism of the appropriate expert, has the right to address the IASHE with the well-reasoned petition for changing the expert at any stage of implementation of expert reviewing of the specified research;
b) after receiving the well-reasoned expert changing petition of the author, the IASHE is obliged to make the relevant decision within 10 calendar days;
c) if the IASHE refuses to satisfy the expert changing petition of the author of research, the author will have a right to break off the agreement with the IASHE concerning the publication unilaterally and to get back the amount of an advance payment excluding the cost of already given expert services and administrative-organizational expenses of the IASHE;
Document to formalization of publications
Document to formalization of publications in the journal:
a) the fact of submission of materials for publication in the journal (by the author or another interested person) to Editorial is the evidence of conclusion of a special publishing agreement on standard terms presented on this website between such person and the IASHE. This agreement comes into legal force from the moment of making (by the author or another interested person) of full preliminary (for reviewed materials) or factual (for materials of the GISAP project participants) publication fee payment. The author may be provided with electronic or printed copy of his personal publishing agreement verified by the IASHE (if necessary);
b) payment of publication cost is made by the author or others persons concerned according to an invoice given by the IASHE;
c) the legal fact and characteristics of publication of the original scientific research in the journal is legalized by the International authoring certificate.
Pricing policy and payment for publication
Establishing costs of publication in issues of the IASHE, the Academy holds on to the principle of maximum possible ensuring of availability of such publications for the international scientific community.
Cost of publication of scientific studies in issues of the IASHE is predetermined by objective economical prerequisites and the necessity to ensure the self-sufficiency mode of the expert, publishing and typographic activity;
The IASHE directs the major part of its profits as well as possible sponsor and investment contributions to the compensation of expenses, connected with publication of scientific studies. This way cost of such publication is decreased.
Payment for publication of materials in the journal is made by the author or another interested person on the basis of the invoice given by the IASHE on conditions of full preliminary (for reviewed materials) or factual (for materials of the GISAP project participants) payment.
Reviewed scientific studies can be published only upon condition of full preliminary payment (by the author or another interested person) for organizational, administrative and expert services, compensation of expenses of the IASHE and payment of the cost of the necessary number of copies of the journal and shipping.
Participant of the GISAP project research analytics championship must pay for publication of his scientific report in the relevant digest of scientific works. Report of such author corresponding to requirements of publication in the journal (following the results of the research analytics championship), will be automatically published in the journal on the basis of the qualified decision of the IASHE.
In case if the person, whose scientific study has been published in the digest of scientific works of the GISAP project and in the journal, considers it necessary to buy a printed copy of such journal, this person will have to remunerate organizational and administrative expenses of the IASHE, and also for shipping of the publication (this price will be the same as the price for the specified digest of scientific works).
Depending on the scale of scientometric indexing of the journal and the related actual expenses the IASHE additionally establishes payment for scientometric indexing of the relevant author's material (must be made by the author or another interested person).
Cost of realization of the whole procedure of publication of author's researches in periodical sectoral scientific journals is set by the IASHE in the first month of every reporting year. Once a year it may be reconsidered (objective economic reasons must exist for that). Such cost includes actual expenses of the IASHE on implementation of the stated procedure and awarding of experts (reviewers) involved.

I fell in love with The Chronicles of Narnia from the moment I saw Lucy pull aside fur coats to reveal snow-covered fir trees in the 1988 BBC TV series and my love for these books goes beyond obsession and into something else. I once won a prize at school for a poem which heavily featured the line 'Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen' (I can't remember the rest of it now - goodness knows where it is...).
Although I'm religious, I was actually really annoyed when I asked Mum what Aslan's name was in our world and she told me. As far as I was concerned, Jesus was a person and Aslan was a lion and Narnia was a series of exciting stories that should have nothing to do with church. As an adult, I have both a greater appreciation of the various spiritual themes in the books, and an ongoing frustration with the more in-your-face bits of evangelism, that seem to spoil the books for so many non-religious readers when they get old enough to understand them.
I'm also a fan of Lewis' other work, especially The Screwtape Letters, and one of these days I will get around to reading the Out of the Silent Planet trilogy.
Since Tolkien was unkind enough hardly ever to use Classics in his work, I'll throw any posts that manage to squeeze him in onto this page as well!

SANDY, Utah (Tuesday, July 3, 2012) – Real Salt Lake (10-6-2, 32 pts; West #2) kicks off July with four home games out of five by welcoming West rival Seattle Sounders FC (7-5-5, 26 pts; West #3) on Wednesday, July 4 at Rio Tinto Stadium, in RSL's eighth annual Independence Day celebration, complete with a post-game fireworks show.
Live television coverage of the 8:00 p.m. MT kickoff will air on CW30 with hosts Bill Riley and Brian Dunseth, and conclude with the 10:00 p.m. MT showing of the 30-minute RAM TRUCKS post-game show. Fans can also follow the action via the team's official radio partners: ESPN 700/ESPN700Sports.com and La Gran D 102.3 FM, and by live Twitter updates on Twitter.com/RealSaltLake.
Both teams look to earn a critical three points in Saturday's match. The Seattle Sounders FC are fresh off a 2-2 tie with New England and have not recorded a win since May 9, their eight-game winless streak in MLS play commencing with RSL's 1-0 win on May 12 at Century Link Field.
The Claret-and-Cobalt – which dropped back-to-back home MLS matches June 20 and June 23 for the first time since October, 2007 – seek to snap a three-game MLS losing streak, as well as an unprecedented three-game Rio Tinto Stadium losing streak in all competitions, its longest home skid since its inaugural 2005 season, when the 5-22-5 expansion club dropped its final six home matches.
However, despite back-to-back MLS home losses to Los Angeles (June 20) and San Jose (June 23), Real Salt Lake's record of 10-6-2 (32 points) through 18 games is second only to its 2010 start and its 4-3-2 road mark is the best in the team's eight-year history, surpassing the 3-4-2 road mark during its record-setting 2010 season.

RSL History v. Seattle Sounders
Last season, both teams attained 2-1 wins on the road in regular-season meetings - Seattle Sounders on May 28 at Rio Tinto, and RSL on September 10, in a game marred by first-half red cards to Tony Beltran and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado. Seattle then won 2-0 against RSL in the home leg of the 2011 MLS Western Conference Semifinals, falling a goal shy of forcing overtime due to RSL's 3-0 dominance in the first leg.
All-time, RSL is 4-4-2 against Seattle, including a 3-2-2 record in regular-season play. Each team has won a playoff game against the other, with only the 2009 MLS play-in victory by Seattle in a preliminary round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tipping the scales.
In their last meeting on May 12, 2012, RSL earned 3 points on the road with a 1-0 win at Century Link Stadium. FW Fabian Espindola found the back of the net for the game's only goal early on in the second half, the opportunity created by 18-year old MF Luis Gil and FW Alvaro Saborio.

So, now you know. The Tooth Fairy is an archaeologist.
Archaeologists get everywhere. Like sand. This also applies to jobs, so it's not totally impossible that someone who specialises in the minute structures of teeth (see my previous post from DayofArch 2011) would end up in the overwhelmingly awesome Human Origins Research Group at the Natural History Museum, London.
For starters, this is an awesome place to work. Yesterday I found out that during WWII, the collections were evacuated to stately homes across the country to escape the Blitz… complete with associated researchers. And there's a basement here that's really a bomb shelter which was used by Churchill as a telephone exchange – part of the secret tunnels which run all under this area up to the Palace and War Rooms. Herman Hess apparently even spent a few nights in the Anthro Stores before his trial.
And today, on the Day of Archaeology, this particular Tooth Fairy is gearing up for more research than you can shake a stick at. In relation to the main project I work on at the NHM I've:
I'm also getting ready to go out to the field to look at the teeth of children who died in central Anatolia (Turkey) sometime between 10,500-8,500 years ago. These are the remains of subadults from the amazing site of Aşıklı Höyük, the earliest settlement of the Anatolian Plateau.
I'll be looking at the microscopic records of growth captured on every tooth–perikymata–to see how these children lived and grew. Like tree-rings, the lines on the outside of our teeth give a lot of information on how we grew (here's a more in-depth explanation). It's a way to find out about health and development in early childhood at the very beginning of human settlement. Were there lots of growth disruptions? Can we see records of illness that might suggest seasonal diseases related to shifting subsistence patterns? That tell us about birth spacing?
I'm excited to find out. Even if I will totally get green dental impression material all over my nice new lab coat. It's the price you pay for science!
Anyway, my days are pretty varied, but you can certainly keep up with me @brennawalks, or follow @ah_arkeoloji for more on Aşıklı Höyük.
N.B. All opinions etc. are my own, and do not necessarily reflect those of my benevolent employer. Images under creative commons fair use.

Autocar's printing filthy rumors saying VW's planning to foist an R4-platformed car onto Stuttgart as a Porsche 356. Sure, everybody likes the idea of a 356, but not when it's a bastardized, pudgy, nostalgia-riding, baby-boomer-targeted beige-mobile.
Remember the second Audi E-Tron from this latest Detroit Auto Show this year? We'll forgive you if you've forgotten. It was the one which looked cool but stole pretty much everything under the skin of the first E-tron and shaped it like a bastard son of the R8 and the TT. Well Autocar is claiming VW is eyeballing that platform for both a new Audi called the R4 and a rebirth of the Porsche 356. Call us curmudgeons, but some things should just not be done. The Porsche 356 was lightning in a bottle, a one-time deal which can only disappoint if revisited.
Do we pine for a super lightweight, simple, entry-level sports car modeled after the original 356? Sure, but it's called the Cayman, and Porsche is pricing it above where it should be and artificially limiting its potential performance already. A car below it attempting to steal the spotlight of an automotive luminary can only succeed in disappointing. [Autocar]

Funeral of 16 year-old Muhammad Abu Khdeir. | Photo courtesy of The Times of Israel
Three Israelis were formally charged with the kidnapping and murder of 16-year-old Palestinian, Mohammed Abu Khdeir today.
The three suspects, which included one 29 year-old and two 16 year-olds confessed to the murder of Abu Khdeir last week. The perpetrators reenacted the crime for Israeli police, showing them the route they had taken from the site of the abduction in Shu'afat, an East Jerusalem neighborhood, to where Mohammed's body was left in an East Jerusalem forest. A trial date has not yet been reported.
"The indictment that was filed details a grave and shocking act, perpetrated against a background of racism, against an innocent teenager," said Yehuda Weinstein, Israel's Attorney General, in a Justice Ministry statement.
Additionally, two of the suspects were charged with incitement in the attempted kidnapping of 7-year-old Mussa Zalum, who, at the time, was walking with his mother and brother in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina. The attempted kidnapping took place less than a day before the murder of Abu Khdeir, which Israeli police believe was in revenge for the murder and kidnapping of Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaer and Eyal Yifrah who were hitchhiking in the occupied West Bank when they were abducted.
Israeli officials asserted that Hamas was responsible for the June 12 kidnapping of Fraenkel, Shaer and Yifrah, though no evidence of this has been presented to the public. The Israeli military carried out a punitive crackdown in the West Bank in tandem with the manhunt for the three boys in the weeks between their abduction and the discovery of their bodies in a field near the site of the kidnapping. Israeli forces raided over 1,000 homes, demolished 17, arrested 328 Palestinians and fatally shot five, two of which were children.
"Alongside mourning, we remain determined to punish evil terrorists with a firm hand. Our war on terrorism will only expand and will not be weakened so that murderous terrorism like this is able to raise its head." said Shimon Peres, Israel's President after the discovery of the three Israeli teens.
"I pledge that the perpetrators of this horrific crime will face the full weight of the law… That's the difference between us and our neighbours. They consider murderers to be heroes. They name public squares after them. We don't. We condemn them and we put them on trial and we'll put them in prison." said Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
After discovering the bodies of the three Israeli teenagers and the murder of Abu Khdeir, racial tensions are mounting. Protests have taken place involving both Palestinians and Israelis. On the eve of Fraenkel, Shaer and Yifrah's funeral, a march broke out in Jerusalem in which participants chanted 'Death to the Arabs.'
The news of Abu Khdeir's death ignited violent clashesin East Jerusalem between Palestinian protestors and Israeli security forces. Palestinian citizens within Israel have also held protests.
The sentiments behind the protests have changed. Originally fueled by outrage surrounding Abu Khdeir's death and the 'collective punishment' in the Israeli crackdown on the West Bank, now, Palestinians within Israel and the West Bank are demonstrating in solidarity with Gaza and in opposition to Israel's 'Operation Protective Edge'.

EW.com (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's electronic edition) reveals the official cover for MOBY (aka WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD). Here's the link to their piece, which has a few questions and answers (such as they are [cough]).
While I originally wanted an octopus on the cover–both because I really like octopuses and because of the symbolism (there are eight major characters whose stories I'm telling through this book–and it _is_ the eighth book, after all), there were certain technical issues that made that difficult. My husband–never a big fan of the octopus concept–asked whether I could think laterally; surely there were other ways to get an "8″ onto the cover.
So I thought. And almost at once, the word "octothorpe" sprang to mind. I've always liked the word, and it certainly was appropriate (you may or may not recognize it in its Very Artistic form here–but it's the lowly hashtag, or pound sign), as it not only has eight points (and eight "fields" of empty space surrounding it; one explanation of its origin is that it was a symbol on old English land documents for a farm surrounded by eight fields), but is a printing character–and the content of the book does indeed have a certain amount about the printer's trade in colonial America during the Revolution.
So I went at once to Google and typed in "octothorpe"–and pretty much the first thing I saw was this. I was so ravished by Conrad Altmann's beautiful octothorpe that I emailed it at once to my editor, with the suggestion that we use _this_ for the central icon of the new cover design.
Now, frankly, the Art Department was so relieved not to have to deal with any more octopuses that I'm sure they would have fallen on any alternate suggestion with cries of gladness. However, they were as pleased with this lovely octothorpe as I was, and came up with this elegant and striking concept, which I Really Like. Hope you will, too!

US researchers have fashioned the first self-replicating bacterial cell, "creating new life out of already existing life."
This momentous milestone — rife with both ethical quandries and immense potential — was reached by a team of two dozen researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JVCI) of Rockville, Maryland, and San Diego, California. Announced Thursday, their findings have been published (PDF) by the journal Science.
The JCVI team designed and then synthesized a 1.08 million base-pair bacterial chromosome out of DNA's four building blocks — adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine — then inserted it into a recipient yeast cell that had been stripped of its own DNA. The synthetic genome, as described by the researchers, was then "booted up" and the cell went on its merry, living way, replicating as an entirely new, synthetic life form.
The synthetic bacteria, happily reproducing themselves through cell division
In a FAQ describing the extent of this milestone, the JCVI team was careful to say that they aren't "creating life from scratch," but instead "creating new life out of already existing life using synthetic DNA to reprogram the cells to form new cells that are specified by the synthetic DNA."
The effort has taken nearly 15 years. Previous milestones have included the 2003 synthesizing of a small virus that could infect bacteria. In 2008, the JVCI team managed to synthesize a small bacterial genome, but at that time they weren't able to activate it in a cell. Now they have.
Say hello to M. mycoides JCVI-syn1.0
The ramifications of being able to design cell functions are far-reaching, so much so that: "Throughout the course of this work, the team contemplated, discussed, and engaged in outside review of the ethical and societal implications of their work," according to the JCVI.
But the potential benefits could also be enormous. The ability to "routinely write the software of life," as the JCVI poetically puts it, could create bacteria that might, for example, suck carbon out of the atmosphere, clean polluted water, or sacrifice their own microscopic lives to become energy-rich components of biofuels.
The JCVI team also notes that it's of the strong opinion that "no applications of this work will or should be attempted in humans." They also assure the environmentally worried that their creations can be "engineered with so called 'suicide genes' that kick in to prevent the organism from living outside of the lab or environment in which they were grown."
Clearly, the JCVI's work — and that of its funding source, Synthetic Genomics — is sure to attract attention not only from fundamentalists who fear that man is treading into religiously or ethically proscribed territory, but also from enviros who fear that an unholy marriage of Big Science and Big Business is about to unleash biohavoc on an unprepared world.
Let the moral and legislative wrangling begin. ®

NEW YORK, N.Y. - A tailor who counted star athletes including Rickey Henderson and Wilt Chamberlain among his clients has pleaded guilty to skirting about $2 million in sales and income taxes.
Mohanbhai Ramchandani pleaded guilty on Tuesday, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said. His company, Mohan's Custom Tailors Inc., also has had local stars Patrick Ewing and Darryl Strawberry among its clients and made an appearance on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York City."
Ramchandani and his business failed to pay at least $1.7 million in state and local sales taxes since 2002, Schneiderman said. The tailor failed to pay at least $256,000 in personal income taxes from 2007 to 2009, he said.
"There are no excuses for tax cheats, regardless of how prominent they are," Schneiderman said. "Mr. Ramchandani's conviction for orchestrating this multimillion-dollar scheme to defraud taxpayers sends a clear message that those who rip off the public will be held accountable for their crimes. Honest citizens are harmed by people who break the law to avoid paying their fair share, making it harder for New York state to provide essential services."
Authorities said a whistle-blower first raised concerns over Ramchandani's tax practices. They said one indication of fraud was the use of numbers on his tax forms that added up to multiples of 10, an outgrowth of his belief in numerology.
Ramchandani was born in Ahmadabad, India, and moved to the United States in 1972. He could face up to three years in prison at sentencing. He has agreed to pay $5.5 million to settle civil claims.
Ramchandani acknowledged making "several mistakes" regarding his taxes and said he took full responsibility for his actions.
"I apologize to my family, employees and customers for this mistake and will take all steps to rectify this matter," he said in a statement.

When civil unrest, violence, or natural disasters erupt in spots around the world, concerns arise over the safety of nationals from these troubled places who are in the United States. Provisions exist in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to offer temporary protected status (TPS) or relief from removal under specified circumstances. The United States currently provides TPS to nationals from seven countries: Burundi, El Salvador, Honduras, Liberia, Nicaragua, Somalia, and Sudan. Under the INA, the executive branch grants TPS. Congress, however, has also granted TPS legislatively, and legislation pertaining to TPS has received action in the 110th Congress.

Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) in Rottweilers
In Atrial Septal Defects (ASD), the blood tends to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium due to the relatively high pressure exerted by the blood returning to the heart from the body circulation. This phenomenon prevents blood in the heart from being pushed into the lungs leading to poor oxygenation of blood cells and consequently a decrease in the circulating oxygen in the body. Depending on the size and location of the hole in the cardiac muscle wall, minor defects may not result in any visible signs while larger defects often result in an imbalance in blood pressure within the heart.
Most Rottweilers diagnosed with the condition usually live normal lives but those with severe forms die from secondary defects of the heart.
A veterinarian can diagnose ASD in Rottweilers upon detecting a significant heart murmur while doing a thorough physical examination. Dogs suffering from the condition may show evidence of heart problems as shown by poor exercise tolerance and/or mucus membranes or tongue with a bluish tinge. Other signs include swelling of the abdomen, breathing difficulties, collapse or even death.
ASD may also incidentally show up on routine x-rays. Chest x-rays will demonstrate a right-side heart enlargement while an echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart) can reveal the abnormal physical changes in the dimensions of the heart and the blood flowing though from the heart to the lungs.
The treatment regimen for ASD depends on the size of the defect and the existence of other heart abnormalities. Although a puppy may already be diagnosed with the condition at an early age, no treatment is indicated until clinical signs are manifested. In moderate to severely affected Rottweilers, heart medications may be given to maintain normal functioning of the heart and for the relief of respiratory congestion. Most veterinarians prescribe a special heart-friendly diet and tell the dog owner to restrict the dog's activity.
Surgery has been done in some cases where an affected suffers from multiple heart problems but results were not as promising. Thus, most veterinarians believe that the condition is best left managed with drugs.
Since it is a hereditary condition, screening of Rottweilers which are predisposed to the disease as well as those whose littermates have been diagnosed with the disease should be done before breeding to prevent affected animals from passing on the defect to its offspring.

Pardon, parole board members turn themselves in
Bond set at $5,000 apiece
Members of the Oklahoma pardon and parole board surrendered to authorities on Thursday, a day after being charged with violating the state's Open Meeting Act.
Authorities confirmed that Richard Dugger, Arnold Dreyer, David Moore, Currie Ballard and Lynnell Harkins turned themselves in Thursday morning. They each posted $5,000 bond.
The charges were filed Wednesday by District Attorney David Prater. Each board member faces 10 misdemeanor counts that allege they violated the Open Meeting Act between May 2011 and July 2012 by conducting business not published and listed on the agenda of their meetings. Prater alleges the part-time board operated a secret parole docket and granted early parole to some state prison inmates who were not eligible for it.
Board members have denied wrongdoing.

Rihanna is a woman who seems to always be on a mission. From shocking people who think they've seen it all with her naked red carpet wear to getting herself kicked off Instagram to #freethenipple, RiRi is always up to something. Her latest cause: Abercrombie & Fitch.
Perhaps RiRi, like your former 13-year-old self, or your mom, was lured into her local Abercrombie & Fitch by the shirtless studs flanking the doors, the strong scent wafting from the dark depths, or the thumping house music coming from within. No matter how it happened, the fact remains: Rihanna is now wearing Abercrombie. The AF hoodie wearing teenager inside of us is dying.
The singer has been spotted out multiple times wearing an Abercrombie & Fitch signature denim jacket. Throwing it over everything from an LBD to a nightgown, RiRi is selling the thing hard. And well, we saw Rihanna wearing a mesh tank top and jean underwear, so we (almost) bought a mesh tank top and jean underwear. So, the Regina Georges of the world want to know, can Rihanna finally make 'Fitch happen?

Jayne Mansfield (April 19, 1933 – June 29, 1967) was an American actress working both on Broadway and in Hollywood. One of the leading blonde sex symbols of the 1950s, Mansfield starred in several popular Hollywood films that emphasized her platinum-blonde hair, hourglass figure and cleavage-revealing costumes.
While Mansfield's film career was short-lived, she had several box office successes. She won the Theatre World Award, a Golden Globe and a Golden Laurel. She's well-known for her starring roles in The Girl Can't Help It (1956) and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957).
As the demand for blonde bombshells declined in the 1960s, Mansfield was relegated to low-budget film melodramas and comedies, but remained a popular celebrity. Her most noted film in the '60s was the romantic-comedy, Promises! Promises! (1963), in which she appeared nude in four scenes.

Host, Friendship Families Sought for International Students
Last fall, Kristi Desaulniers, a fourth grade teacher at the Tea Area Intermediate School, and her husband, Ron, had an opportunity to experience another culture within their own home.
Having lived and traveled abroad, the Desaulniers said they "really enjoyed being with folks from other countries, as it's so interesting and there is so much to learn from them." When they learned about Augustana's Host Family and Friendship Family program, they jumped at the opportunity.
"It is important that our children are exposed to other ways of thinking and doing," Kristi Desaulniers said. "It gives them a better understanding of our interconnected world on a personal basis."
During the 2012-13 academic year, the Desaulniers family hosted Tanya Kulik, a junior education major from Kazakhstan. Kulik studied at Augustana as a part of the U.S. State Department Global UGRAD, a full-time, non-degree program that combines study with community service, internship and cultural enrichment elements.
The experience was memorable for both Kulik and the Desaulniers.

The IPO is seeking 50 area families to participate in the Friendship Family Program, providing support to students from various countries around the world during the 2013-14 academic year. Contact Erin Kane or call 605.274.5050.
"We showed (the students) different areas of South Dakota and let them experience life on a farm," Desaulniers said. "Sharing our family traditions and hearing about traditions of other cultures was a lot of fun!"
This year, families in the Sioux Falls area will, once again, have the opportunity to participate in the College's Host Family and/or Friendship Family program as Augustana welcomes approximately 75 new international students, representing more than 40 countries from all over the world. The program is an initiative designed by Augustana's International Program Office (IPO) to provide a support network for these students as they study and travel in the United States.
"Every staff member we've met at the IPO is very welcoming, friendly, and approachable," Desaulniers said. "When a question arose about something, communication was prompt and supporting and we didn't feel silly for asking."
Desaulniers says she recommends this program for families in the Sioux Falls community.
"The students we've hosted were involved in various aspects of our family's daily lives, which was enriching for all of us," she said. "We look forward to expanding our family once again this fall!"
Friendship Family Program
The Friendship Family Program is designed to give a new student a family contact in Sioux Falls. The family does not provide lodging. Instead, the family makes a commitment to befriend a new student and to provide opportunities to have a home-cooked meal once or twice a month or to participate in various cultural or community activities throughout the year.
