"The magic of the electronic village is transforming health information. The mouse and keyboard have extended the stethoscope to the 500 million people now online." — Dr. Edward Creagan
The power of the medium inspires Dr. Edward Creagan as he searches for ways to share Mayo Clinic's vast resources with the general public.
Dr. Creagan, a Newark, N.J., native, is board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice medicine and palliative care. He has been with Mayo Clinic since 1973 and in 1999 was president of the staff of Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Creagan, a professor of medical oncology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, was honored in 1995 with the John and Roma Rouse Professor of Humanism in Medicine Award and in 1992 with the Distinguished Mayo Clinician Award, Mayo's highest recognition. He has been recognized with the American Cancer Society Professorship of Clinical Oncology.
He describes his areas of special interest as "wellness as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual-financial model" and fitness, mind-body connection, aging and burnout.
Dr. Creagan has been an associate medical editor with Mayo Clinic's health information websites and has edited publications and CD-ROMs and reviewed articles.
"We the team of (the website) provide reliable, easy-to-understand health and wellness information so that each of us can have productive, meaningful lives," he says.

The power of being there
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.

How can you help a fellow traveler who is suffering? Be there.
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I'm reminded of the old line, "80 percent of life is just showing up." To me, this means the power of being present and available.
You don't have to have all the answers or say something profound. Your physical presence has a healing dimension.
You magnify that power by being totally engaged with and attentive to your loved one or friend in need.
Reaching out to others has an additional benefit. When you reach out, you feel better. You become less self-absorbed and less focused on your own problems.
We need one another. It's not rocket science. Please weigh in.

IRON MOUNTAIN -- This may seem like another day in the garage of the Dickinson County Road Commission. But crews are working tirelessly to prepare equipment for the upcoming snowstorm expected to hit the U.P.
That means making sure the trucks are in good shape and that the road commission is properly staffed.
"Since our crew is getting smaller over the last 5 to 10 years, we don't have enough guys to fill out our routes," said Road Commission Superintendent Jeff Hart. "So we have temporary drivers that we have to make sure we can get ahold of so they can come in on time for the snowstorm."
When a snowstorm hits, the road commission is on the streets as early as 4 a.m. and often continues plowing and salting well into the evening.
John McDonald has been plowing Dickinson County roads for five years. He said the secret is to be ready both physically and mentally.
"You just try to make sure everything is in order here so we have the parts and plow blades and whatever," said McDonald. "Then when the storm comes, you just kind of get ready and make sure you have enough sleep."
While the work continues in anticipation of the snow, Hart is hopeful this storm could just be a flash in the pan.
"One thing about when you get [snow] now, it usually doesn't last very long," he said. "You get them cleaned up and the temperature usually warms up enough where...it's going to melt the remaining that's left on the road. We've still got to take care of it when it happens."
Depending on the conditions, crew expect to be hitting the streets by 4 a.m. Wednesday.

I've never launched and affiliate program before but I would think directly contacting some of the more popular bloggers in your niche would help.
Posted 20 December 2008 - 11:06 PM
First and foremost, make sure you've got plenty of support information available for your affiliates. Graphics they can use, marketing messages, an email address they can contact if they have questions, etc, etc.
Then you can start looking for affiliates.

This is always worthy of a press release (maybe 2 - your broker co. too?) and dedicated pages on your website where visitors would 'land' (I foresee A/B testing too)
Also, the Broker or Managing firm should have roll-out plans or announcements as well (like to all their affiliates + a front page announcement for a week or so) - where their current affiliates log-in would be great.
Of course you could also find the top affiliates for a competitive or similar product online and contact them directly too, these individuals are always seeking new and hot opportunities to drive qualified traffic to - Especially if the program offerings are comparable or better. Who gets your potential customer right now? You can find them easy enough - Whether a firm or an individual website - I think they are always open to new joint ventures.
Good luck with that -

When I was under they severed the carotid artery, maybe this helped to make it harder for me to breathe. I felt ok yesterday in the hospital with the oxygen but fragile today. When in hospital they gave me a blood pressure tablet which lowered my BP to 50 so they did a lot of fussing over me plus put in a lot of saline solution fast.
My air is only 94 yesterday they wanted 96 but let me come home anyway.

Recently I've been working on decoding a video using MJPEG. The problem I encountered is that some of the buffers (JPEG images) were syntactically correct, meaning that the header and EOI code were correct, but the decoder wasn't able to decode it. This happened randomly, without a specific pattern or order. Looking around on the internet I found this:http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2010-December/021286.htmlWe implemented that solution on Diego Dompe's plugins branch for the DM365 and can confirm this behavior, we also noticed that adding less than 1024 bytes to the buffer wouldn't work as well.
Is there an explanation for this? If so, is there a "cleaner" way to solve this issue? I can provide example images for both cases.
Hi Pablo,
Are the images encoded with the DM365 JPEG Encoder only?
It would be great if you could send some samples across so that we can examine them and try to establish the cause of the problem.
I will also need the version number of the JPEG Decoder & Encoder and the parameters for the JPEG Encoder (if using DM365 based one).
Can you also detail the steps you've taken so far?
Hi Akshay,
I'm attaching some sample images that were encoded using the DM365 JPEG codec, files 0 and 3 can be decoded while 1 and 2 can't.
The encoder/decoder version used is the one in DVSDK 4.02, according to the codec release notes both the decoder and the encoder version is 01.00.00 and the parameters used are the default ones.
Now the steps:1. Recorded a video usinggst-launch -e videotestsrc ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)UYVY,width=720,height=480,pitch=736' ! dmaienc_mjpeg qValue=30 ! queue ! qtmux ! filesink location=test_mjpeg.mp4
2. Tried to decode using gst-launch filesrc location = test_mjpeg.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux .video_00 ! queue ! dmaidec_mjpeg ! 'video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)NV12' ! fakesink
3. Adding DMAI_DEBUG=2 to the previous pipeline got this error messages:
@0x000f4f82:[T:0x41b28490] ti.sdo.dmai - [Idec1] IMGDEC1_process() failed with error (-1 ext: 0x8800)
@0x000f87a4:[T:0x41b28490] ti.sdo.dmai - [Idec1] IMGDEC1_process() failed with error (-1 ext: 0xc000)
4. Separated the video in different images (buffers) using:
gst-launch filesrc location = test_mjpeg.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux .video_00 ! queue ! multifilesink location=test_%d.jpeg
5. Tried to decode the images individually using:
DMAI_DEBUG=2 gst-launch filesrc location = test_X.jpeg ! dmaidec_jpeg ! fakesink
and got:
@0x00068c70:[T:0x4125a490] ti.sdo.dmai - [Idec1] IMGDEC1_process() failed with error (-1 ext: 0x8800)
Apologies for the delay.
I checked your files with version 1.00.00.10 of the JPEG Decoder and they are decoding fine.
Were you using a large input buffer as inidicated on the link above? (http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2010-December/021286.html).Thanks,
I tried with both cases - with a much larger input buffer and with an input buffer which is the exact size of the codec requirement.
I am also working on JPEG decoder and I am also getting a similar error.
I am using dvsdk_4_02_00_06 and linux 126.96.36.199.
I am getting an extended error as "err: 0x8800" (XDM_FATALERROR) according to user guide.
Can anyone please tell me the reason for this error and how to avoid this error??
Thanks a lot
Hi Rohan,
Dis you follow the link on the very first post in this thread? They used a larger buffer and it worked fine, also that worked for me.Regards,
Extended error code "0x8800" corresponds to corrupted input JPEG data. Please check the input buffer size and make sure to provide complete JPEG frame data to decoder.
Regards, RSV
thanks for the reply. Even if I increase the buffer size, the same problem is observed but little later.
1. I observed that when the decoder fails the bytes consumed by the decoder are less than the actual number of bytes present in the buffer. i.e even if the data is present in the buffer the decoder is not reading the complete buffer. Any idea why this might be happening?
2. Is there any "End of Frame" or "Start of frame" sequence in case of MJPEG encoded data which I can look for? If there is please let me know.
3. I am also running H.264 decoder along with JPEG decoder. Can these two be run simultaneously? Is any synchronization required between these two?
4. Once the JPEG decoder fails with FATAL_ERROR, it does not recover. I tried XDM_RESET but it didn't help. Is there any way to recover the Jpeg decoder if it fails once?
Thanks for help.
Thanks and Regards,

This is a companion piece to Two Times Two in Depot Bay. The palate is my usual burnt sienna, cobalt blue, phthalo blue, and new gamgee.

This is a companion piece to Two Times Two in Depot Bay. The palate is my usual burnt sienna, cobalt blue, phthalo blue, and new gamgee.
I took the photo for this little painting in Depot Day, Oregon, last summer. Depot Bay itself is the smallest working bay I know of. It's completely sheltered and hidden from the ocean, which is a good thing because the town that surrounds it, is one of the best places for wave watching I know of, and the only place I regularly see waves splashing Highway 101. Despite the waves outside, the bay is usually calm and a great place to find reflections. One of these days I'm going to do it's cute little arched bridge entrance.
This painting is the first time I've used mask on clay-board. I used it just for the ropes and a couple of the highlights at the window edges.
Like the pears in my last post, this painting is painted on aquaboard mounted on two inch deep wooded frame. After I completed the paintings, I painted the wooden frame black and finished the watercolor with two coats of Krylon's UV Archival Varnish, and three coats of Golden's Polymer Varnish with UVLS (satin). The result is that the painting may be hung without a frame or glass. The coating is not only protective, but archival and removable for conservation purposes.

CHARLOTTE, NC - Join Presbyterian Healthcare experts for a free back pain seminar on Feb. 22 from 12-1 p.m. at Presbyterian Orthopaedic Hospital, located at 1901 Randolph Road, Charlotte. Lunch will be served. To register, call 704-384-CARE (2273).
Back pain is common – but in most cases, it can be prevented or treated. "Solutions for Back Pain," a free seminar for the community, is dedicated to sharing information on back pain, including prevention, tips for living with back pain and non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
"People who suffer from back pain often wait for the pain to go away on its own or think they have to live with it," said Tony Kwon, MD, a spine surgeon with Total Spine Specialists and the event's featured speaker. "But it's important not to suffer in silence. When it comes to treating or managing symptoms, there are a lot of effective options out there."
By attending this free seminar, back pain sufferers will learn ways to manage their conditions and get information about services available if they need more advanced care. Dr. Kwon and other experts will be on hand to offer advice and answer questions.

Agricultural economist Brian Hurd and his
colleagues at Stratus Consulting in Boulder, Colo., have taken analysis of U.S. water resources to a new level. They have measured the sensitivity of each of the 204 hydrological areas in the lower 48 states to current climate conditions, an indicator of their potential vulnerability to global climate change. Their findings, summarized in the map below, are not good news for the Southwest, already famous for its long-standing water problems. Its 1996 drought, for instance, destroyed $3.6 billion in livestock and crops in Texas and Oklahoma alone. Groundwater tables in many sections have been sinking alarmingly; levels in some sections in the Great Plains Aquifer have fallen by 50 percent or more from the area's predevelopment levels. The region relies heavily on rivers and streams whose flow can vary greatly.

Zune exec on phone future, new iPods
There are a number of businesses where Microsoft is playing catch-up these days. But arguably one where the company starts furthest behind is in the music business, where it decided two years ago to scrap its partner approach and go it alone with the Zune in its effort to catch the iPod.

0 Renault Alpine's For Sale
About Alpine
The Sunbeam Alpine is a beautiful open top two seated sports car, first launched in 1953. This was the first car to be produced by Sunbeam-Talbot which was part of the Roote's Group. The car was produced from 1953 until 1975.
The Alpine was originally designed as a rally car, based on the Sunbeam-Talbot saloon car. The car came with a 2.3 litre four cylinder engine, taken from the saloon model. All mark one and three models were handmade, of which the majority were exported to North America and only 445 remaining in the UK. Of these 445 it is said that as little as 200 remain to date.
The rally version won the Coupe des Alpes in 1953 and was driven by Stirling Moss. Unlike many other classic cars the Sunbeam Alpine has rarely featured in movies, though did make an appearance in "To Catch a Thief".
The series one was introduced in 1959, having been designed by Kenneth Howes and Jeff Crompton. The modified cars made use of parts from the Roote's Group including upgraded front disc brakes, an overdrive unit and independent front suspension.
An open model of the series one was tested in 1959 and was found to have a top speed of 99.5 mph with 0-62 at 13.6 seconds. In total, 11,904 series one cars were produced, costing Ј1,110 including taxes.
The series two was introduced in 1960 and continued until 1963 featuring a 1.6 litre engine. The 80 bhp engine produced the same 0-62 of 13.6 seconds and a top speed of 98.6 mph. The car also featured a revised rear suspension, with a total of 19,956 units being produced.
In 1963 the series three was launched, with a removable hard top version, as well as the standard open model. The engine power was reduced in a bid to increase internal space within the car. Rear wings were also fitted to the car to enhance the aesthetics along with twin fuel tanks to reduce the number of fuel stops.
The series four model ran from 1964 until 1965, the engine being maintained at 82 bhp. The exterior styling was reworked to remove the fins and an automatic transmission was introduced as an optional extra. In 1964 the company introduced a new manual gearbox.
The fifth instalment in the series saw a 1.7 litre engine added to the car with twin carburettors to produce 93 bhp. The automatic transmission from the fourth series was also dropped after it proved to be unpopular.

Milk is good for you, right? In general, it is. Sure, you can overdo it: 6 servings a day of whole milk has 900 calories, 48 grams of fat and 1,800 milligrams of calcium. Depending on the rest of your diet, that might be too much of a good thing. But, in general, moderate intake of low-fat or skim milk is an excellent drink choice, especially if it is replacing highly sweetened drinks, like soda, that have little nutritional value. There may be other "risks" associated with milk intake. There is a possible increased risk of prostate cancer among milk drinkers. The notion that milk intake is linked to prostate cancer comes from studies that look at the diets of men with prostate cancer and compare them to the diets of similar men who don't have prostate cancer. Some of these studies have concluded that the risk of prostate cancer rises with increasing milk intake:
One review published in July 2009 by researchers in Brazil did not find a convincing link between prostate cancer risk and milk intake. But the researchers suggested that the issue deserved more study. They also found that milk intake might reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Why Should Milk Increase Prostate Cancer Risk? One theory is that hormones in milk (including estrogen and "insulin like growth factor") might trigger prostate cancer or stimulate cancer cells to grow. Another theory links cancer risk to milk's effects on vitamin D regulation. Milk is high in calcium. Past studies suggested that high calcium intake reduces conversion of vitamin D into its most potent form (1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D). This form of vitamin D may have a protective effect against cancer. With less of this form of the vitamin, cancer risk may increase. However, this remains an unproven theory. And, a study published in July 2009 found that calcium intake did not lower 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D levels. Don't Throw Out Your Milk Just Yet Given some evidence linking milk to prostate cancer, why do nutritionists consider milk and other dairy products part of a healthy diet? There are several reasons:
In fact, most nutritionists do not warn of the dangers of milk because they don't believe the concern is needed. If you are a man who likes to drink milk, I find no compelling scientific evidence to discourage you from doing so. Then again, it's a good idea to keep an open mind. Future research could shed new light on the prostate cancer and milk connection. Whether we're talking about milk or another dietary choice, we need studies to accurately estimate the risks of increasing intake as well as the risks of reducing it. So, for now, consider milk a healthy food choice, as long as you stick with low-fat or nonfat versions and don't overdo it. Robert H.

The Field Museum will receive a high-quality meteorite from a fireball that exploded over California and Nevada last month. The 4.6-billion-year-old meteorite, donated by private collector Terry Boudreaux, is extremely rare and valuable to science. It weighs about one-third of an ounce (10 grams) and has been tentatively classified as carbonaceous chondrite.
Photo gallery from the 2012 members night at the Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies.
Robert A. Pritzker Assistant Curator of Meteoritics and Polar Studies Philipp Heck and co-authors from the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry in Germany had their paper on the first isotopic analysis of sulfur-rich comet dust published in the April issue of the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science. The dust was captured during a flyby of Comet Wild 2 by NASA's Stardust Mission and returned to Earth.
The Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies is proud to announce the newest addition to the meteorite collection. The newly named meteorite Thika, recently classified as a L6 ordinary chondrite, was donated to the Center by Collections and Research Committee member Terry Boudreaux in mid-September.
We mourn the loss of Robert A. Pritzker who passed away on October 27th, 2011. His generosity and passion for science supported research programs at the Field Museum.
Field Museum researchers at the Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies have received a second target foil from the Interstellar Dust Collector onboard NASA's Stardust Mission - that returned the first solid extraterrestrial material to Earth from beyond the Moon.
We announce a call for abstracts for the session P15 "Laboratory Analysis of Extraterrestrial Dust Returned to Earth" at the Fall Meeting 2011 of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), December 5-9, 2011 San Francisco, California, USA.
Collections & Research Committee member Terry Boudreaux donated a very unusual meteorite specimen to The Field Museum's Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies. The meteorite is named NWA 5492 after northwest Africa where it was found. Its petrology and chemical composition are very different compared to other meteorites and it cannot be classified with the existing scheme.
About 470 million years ago – in a time period called Ordovician – the parent asteroid of one of the L chondrites, one of the most common meteorite types, was disrupted in a collision with another body. This event led to a subsequent bombardment of Earth with collisional debris for at least 10 million years. This finding is reported in a recent study in Earth and Planetary Science Letters by Field Museum scientists Dr. Birger Schmitz (Research Associate), Robert A. Pritzker Assistant Curator of Meteoritics and Polar Studies Dr. Philipp Heck, and an international team of coauthors.

The Beatles – Abbey Road (1969)
In January 1967, a billboard promoting the debut album of LA rock band The Doors appeared on the Sunset Strip. It was a landmark moment in the history of music promotion, and ushered in an era lasting 15 years where hand-painted billboards promoting popular rock 'n' roll bands dominated the Strip. Photographer Robert Landau began taking pictures of the billboards in the late-Sixties.
"The image of the Beatles strolling across Abbey Road, just steps from my home," writes Landau, "spoke to me with a surreal immediacy. I knew I wanted to capture what I was feeling, so I began photographing the billboards. The Sunset Strip became my subject and my own walk-in/drive-through gallery."
The excerpts written by Robert Landau are taken from his book Rock 'n' Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip, published by Angel City Press (2012). The book also features interviews with the musicians, record producers, designers and painters behind the Sunset Strip billboards.

what if someone goes back to the Azores island of Santa Maria and check out the graveyard for Capt.Briggs or one of his crew. Maby even check the towns history of the people who lived there at that time or moved there and old records, newspapers etc. etc. I hope this helps in some way
Posted by unknown mystery on August 12,2013 | 06:17 AM
Having 'come through rough weather' means the rough weather is over. No need to abandon ship. Having 'finally ' sighted land. Why didn't he bear in closer if he thought something was seriously wrong with his ship? So nothing an experienced crew couldn't handle. "No way of determining' wether his ship would sink.? It was still sailing, in very good condition,not sinking. He would have waited till it was obviously sinking before abandoning. If he thought it was in ANY danger of sinking, he would hae headed for the nearest land which had already been sighted. With the pump out he would have been able to take some kind of measure. You can bet he knew ther wasn't enough water in the hold to sink the ship right away. She was sailing too good. No, something completely different caused them all to leave that ship.

I am looking for this information for English homework, I find this information very useful, but is there anyway you could add any more new information to the page? And if you could any pictures of the Ship itself and hyperlinks. The captain needs to be investigated thoroughly. Just saying he was well respected doesn't mean he was infallible or un-naive. A book could delve into captains' training and skills of the time and also, their knowledge of cargo and business, not just sailing and navigating. I think the captain was at fault and caused the deaths of 10 people through bad judgement, panic and ill-preparedness. In his last letter to his mother, he sounds like he wants nothing more than to enjoy quality time with his family. And also like he doesn't cotton to business too much. His father was also a bad businessman. So, maybe he didn't study up on his cargo and the dangers involved. What did this dude transport in previous voyages? But I think the fume theory of the alcohol almost poisoning the crew is preposterous. Before devising more theories research the world of shipping in the 1870's out of New York harbor. What did other captains do with similar cargoes, routes, etc. One commenter claims alot of ships went down that November but was that unusual? These books and articles on the Mary Celeste don't provide a vivid and detailed enough picture of the times. Instead, they overdo the research on nonsense like debunked theories and the inquiry with all its characters. Who cares? It's time someone looked at the person in charge of the ship.

Posted by anna on January 6,2012 | 04:42 PM
I am an avid fan of Clive Cussler, especially his two books "The Seahunters", And "Seahunters II", which document his searches and discoveries of famous historical lost ship wrecks. I'm not familiar with the coast surrounding Santa Maria Is., but if it was seen by Capt. Briggs and he felt his ship was in dire straits , would it have been possible to ground his ship on the beach if one was avaliable. Just a thought...
Posted by Bob A. on March 15,2010 | 11:26 PM
this was a good story what is the movie called i would like to watch it an learn some more facts about it
Posted by jason on March 15,2010 | 10:47 PM
"Coal dust and construction debris could have fouled the ship's pumps, which would explain the disassembled pump found on the Mary Celeste. With the pump inoperative, Briggs would not have known how much seawater was in his ship's hull, which was too fully packed for him to measure visually."
OK this is where I get confused. I've lived on boats, worked on boats, new boats, old boats, even very old wooden sailing ships and if they had a pump there had to be an access hatch to lower the pump into the water or lower a hose attached to the pump. It's a very simple an effective way to check the water level. I don't know of any captain that would abandon their ship and their cargo without being absolutely certain that the ship was going down. A responsible Captain which by all accounts Captain Briggs was, would of checked the water level in the ship first before ordering anyone to abandon ship even if they had to dump cargo over the sides to do it.

There is a book written by Brian Hicks called "Ghost ship: the mysterious true story of the Mary Celeste and her missing crew," which posits the most likely scenario.
The ship was carring industrial-grade alcohol, used to fortify wines. 9 barrels were found be empty. As alcohol is lighter than water, the leaking barrels would have filled the hold with noxious fumes. The fumes would have overcome anyone on board. The captain, with his wife and child to think of, would have not want to risk their lives, or the lives of his crew. He made the hasty decision to put everyone on the life boat, tethered to the ship until the fumes cleared.
One lone rope was found trailing in the water, not hooked up to any rigging, with the ends frayed. It likely snapped, causing all aboard to tragically, be lost at sea.
Curiously not mentioned in this article. I wish there was somewhere to rent this DVD or watch it online without having to pay for iTunes.

Common sense should explain the disappearance of the unfortunate crew of the Mary Celeste. First look at some vital clues such as clogged pump and missing life boat and possibility of alchol-caused explosion. Obviously Captain Briggs no longer trust his boat to be safe for long and therefore ordered everyone to abandon ship ASAP. The hapless souls simply drifted into the unknown in their life boat most likely victims of bad weather and rough seas- their remains became instant food to sharks and other creatures of the sea leaving no trace. It's people's love of mystery and intrigue that lives on!

I find a certain irony to the fact that the reason for the Mary Celeste to be abandoned was simply because of a clogged pump. Sea Monsters, tidal waves are theories that a fanciful mind would produce. It might be possible that the Mary Celeste might be last century's news and no one here would write about it today if people looked at the facts with a clear and sensible head. I'm glad the mystery has finally been brought to light.

I have been heavily researching MC for 10 years and the only known picture of her is by Honore Pellegrini of Marseille in 1861 as Amazon. As Mary Celeste she had an additional deck added in 1872 and the account of changes made do not correspond to the photograph. It is a different ship. The only known photos of her were taken by Clive Cussler's team, of the wreck such as it is, in Haiti. Capt Morehouse of Dei Gratia commissioned a painting of his ship by Giuseppi Coli in Sicily April 1873. I have nearly completed my book which will forever change what is known about Mary Celeste including how she got her name. Arthur Briggs died in 1931 sans issue. Benjamin's surviving brother James Cannon Briggs married Zenas Briggs' (1844-70) fiancee Mary Reynolds and had four sons. The lineage continues. P.S. I have now authenticated over 100 souls lost in the N Atlantic hurricane Nov 19-30 1872. I don't want to give too much away but can say without reservation that it was a "perfect hurricane" that caused her misfortune that November. You read it here first.

Derek, I would be interested in information regarding the descendents of Captain Briggs and any crew members. I know Captain Briggs left a son behind and beleive there are descendants from him. Do you know if any of the other crew members left children behind? Also interested in photos that you may have if possible to email. Thankyou

I spend every summer in Nova Scotia.In Spencers Island to be exact. The master builder of the Mary Celeste was an Uncle of mine. My great great Grandmother's sister was married to him. My great great Grandfather was a share holder as well. The Mary Celeste is family to me. Let me know what info or pictures anyone woulf like to see.

In reference to the comment from Roger Campbell 2/1/08 I believe that picture was a photo taken from a painting that Capt. Morehouse had done after his return home. My mothers oldest and dearest friend was his granddaughter, Elizabeth Jennings and that very large oil painting hung over her fireplace up until her death in her nineties. I imagine the Fairfield Historical Society probably has it as many of her priceless possessions were left to the Society.

What happened to the Marie Celeste after it was found. Was it for salvage, or was it preserved/reconstructed?
Posted by Gilly Thornton on June 24,2008 | 11:24 AM
The brothers,Volkert and Boy Lorenzen,who were part of the ship's crew, were more than likely from the Isle of Fohr in the North Fresian islands off the coast of Denmark and Germany where these names are very common. They were part of many generations of able-bodied seamen from that tiny island. My ancestry is riddled with these names and combinations of these names- Lorenz Boysen, Boy Volkerts, Volkert Lorenzen, etc.

I Think It Was A Fume Theory x!
Posted by Teagan on March 6,2008 | 12:22 PM
There's more than a few errors perpetuated in the article about Mary Celeste, the major being that the photo shown is definitely NOT Mary Celeste. I could digress but feel it more positive to add that my research has established the fact that 13 other sailing ships were abandoned in those waters at that time in what was called in ship's logs a "perfect hurricane". Many lives were lost. Furthermore there was a major meteor storm on that date. These facts were never introduced at the Gibraltar hearings and alone could have dispelled any mysteries to come. The reason for abandonment, known to me, is scientific, not imaginative.

Charles Fay certainly asked the Portuguese authorities about the weather and the possibility of earthquakes; The answer he received in 1940 was: "No record of any earthquake is kept in the registers, neither in the local newspapers which we have searched." Jim Watt www.maryceleste.net

I do not have cable or satellite tv... is there anyway to see this movie? Will it be made available on DVD?
Posted by Andrea on December 10,2007 | 05:22 PM
A few years ago I read a rather persuasive online article arguing that the Mary Celeste encountered a large wave generated by an earthquake (not uncommon in the vicinity of the Azores); it caused some of the damage that was later observed on the ship, and would likely have sent the panicked crew into the lifeboats. The author said that he'd attempted to research earthquakes in the area, but couldn't find any British record of them. A pity that none of the British investigators went out and ASKED the nearest people whether anything unusual had happened on Nov. 25; the Portuguese of the Azores were plenty familiar with the seas and the seismology. (My grandfather actually lived on Santa Maria, a few miles away from the Mary Celeste's position, but as he was only 1.5 years old in Nov. 1872 he couldn't have told them much.)

I wish to add my name to the list . The full value should be paid to the crews legacies.
Posted by Paul M McCluskey on November 19,2007 | 04:02 PM
Attorney general Frederick Sollyflood erred in his verdict.He found out that DeiGratias crew was not culpable in anyway towards the disaster that happened onboard MaryCeleste,yet he approved stipends for them,such action at that period of time could have sent wrong signals to other salvagers to be,innocent lifes could have been lost because of such decisions.It means back then that Captains who are not in good terms with another will definitely refused to render help and the spirit of crewmanship is destroyed.If modern forensic investigation proved them innocent which i believe they are,then the full wcrth of the monetary value should be paid to their legacies.

Holy Crap! I've heard about Lucas wanting to retire but I sure didn't see this coming. But if someone please help me clear my confusion with ILM and LucasArts. Are they completely separate companies or are they apart of LucasFilm, which in turn is now going to be apart of Disney.
Found my answer buried in the middle of the press release.
Lucasfilm, headquartered in San Francisco, operates under the names Lucasfilm Ltd., LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound, and the present intent is for Lucasfilm employees to remain in their current locations.
So that means TOR is going to be apart of Disney when the deal goes through.

Phil & Teds Nest Bed
Perfect for family travel or for grandma's house, the Nest from Phil & Teds answers the age-old question, "But where will the baby sleep?" It pops open and folds flat, and can even be used to pack baby's things.
See Full Details
Meets the following
giggle Criteria:
best basics
Dimensions--Bag: 31" x 17" x 5" Bed 30" x 15" x 13" ---Storage 10 gallons
Weight5.5 lbs.
AgeNewborn - 9 Months or Up to 20 lbs.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 5
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pepper Awesome product - for first 5-6 months
Love, love, love this ... for the first five months. It's super light-weight, easy to assemble and carry, stores anywhere (under sofa, back of door), packs at least a week's worth of diapers and clothes without blinking, comes with mesh roof. Getting four instead of five stars because of how quickly my 16lb, 6mo-old daughter outgrew it (she started moving too much, might work better if you have a heavy, deep sleeper) - which, in truth, we had anticipated based on prior reviews. We are now in the market for something new and underwhelmed by the choices after having used this.
November 22, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Greta Why aren't there wheels or a shoulder strap?
I think this bed is fantastic except for when you fill the bag with stuff, it gets very heavy! I'm not sure how the other reviewers found it light. So, dealing with this bag that has no wheels or even a shoulder strap becomes rather cumbersome when you also have your own luggage and a car seat/stroller, etc. You get the picture. Except for this major flaw, it's a great product.
November 16, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by schiff77 Great if your baby doesn't move
I loved this bed for about three months, but as soon as our baby started rolling in her sleep forget it. I can't imagine how this bed can make it to nine months. The bag part is great, I wish it would have worked longer, in theory it seems like the perfect travel solution.
September 12, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by designchica travelling made simple!
We love the nest! It was light enough to carry on the plane, easy to set up, and fit our 5 month old perfectly! I love that it's not bulky, it can store under the bed when not in use or that it's stylish enough to store my son's toys in his room! I wish phil & ted came out with this nifty bed earlier! We're ready to take it on our next trip to Hawaii. Hopefully the mesh section will keep the mosquitos away!
May 12, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by kate Bassinet + Suitcase = My Perfect Travel Accessory
A perfect product for traveling with an infant! The bassinet is comfy for my little one and sets up in mere seconds. And I love that it stores easily in the zippered carrying bag. But even better, flip the carrying bag over and the generous-sized top compartment can easily fit a week's worth of clothes and diapers. I've used it on weekend camping trips and visits to my in-laws. I only wish this product had come out sooner! My son just passed 8 months and won't be able to use it much longer, but for new parents this is a great choice for simplifying traveling with a baby.

(5 Questions : 5 Answers)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
Hi,Can we take this item as a carry-on on an airplane? I realize each airline have different rules regarding carry-on items, but in general terms, is this next too large to even be considered as a carry-on item or is it truly compact?
We definitely recommend checking with your airline about carrying-on gear and equipment. Phil & Teds Nest Bed measures 31" x 17" x 5" when it's used as a travel bag, and zippers-open into a bed that measures 30" x 15" x 13", so it' a bit more compact when it's in "bag" mode vs. "bed" mode. We think it's truly compact, and its versatility gives you extra functionality for your money!Answers
Phil & Ted's Nest is made in China.Q:
Hi, We will be flying across the country to stay with my parents for 2-3 weeks when the baby is approximately 2 months old. Is it safe to use the Nest Bed as the bassinet/crib for the duration of our stay or would it be better to use a pack n play? Thanks.Answers
Phil & Ted's Nest Bed is tested for use up to either 9 months or 20lbs, however, because infant developtment rates will vary with every baby (afterall, every baby is unique!), your baby may outgrow Nest a little bit earlier than the maximum tested age/weight.A rule of thumb that parent's can use, and that giggle recommends, for moses baskets, bassinets, cradles, and even the top position for crib mattresses is that when your infant begins showing active signs of movement, you should discontinue using your smaller bed, and transition to a travel crib/play yard and/or lower your crib mattress height.
Because different babies begin showing active signs of movement at different ages-and-stages, every product's usable life will vary from the product's "tested" life for every baby.
Would the Mountain Buggy Nest Bed work for twins? We are traveling this summer and they are still both tiny and sharing a crib so this seemed to be a good choice but I wasn't sure about the fit? They are both 6 lbs so they would be well under the weight limit.Answers
Phil & Ted's Nest Bed has been tested and approved for use with a single child who is younger than 9 months old, and weighs less than 20lbs.If you're traveling with twins, consider investing in two Nests -- not only is Nest a versatile travel bed, but it can also be used at home as a moses basket, and it acts as a travel bag, giving you extra functionality for your money. With one for each baby you'll have convenient portability at home and on-the-go, plus twice the room to pack baby's travel essentials!
Does the Nest have a mattress? Is it safe to have the baby in the Nest on the floor? In the crib?Answers
Perfect for family travel, and indoor and outdoor use, the Nest from Phil & Teds pops open and folds flat, and can even be used to pack baby's things. The included firm mattress offers comfort and support, and the strong and sturdy base of the nest is perforated both for added ventilation, and to avoid moisture build up. The Nest can be safely used on the floor, or you can place it in a crib to raise baby up off the floor. It's the perfect way to keep a newborn on-the-go AND comfortable!

An entirely different function of NGF came to light recently with the discovery that certain non-neuronal cells are able to respond to the protein. Lloyd A. Greene and Arthur S. Tischler of the Harvard Medical School demonstrated in 1977 that cells of the line designated PC12 (which are derived from a rat tumor) respond to NGF by acquiring properties characteristic of sympathetic neurons. The NGF-treated cells send out fibers, become electrically excitable and store and release neurotransmitters of the catecholamine type. When NGF is withdrawn from the culture medium, the cells retract their fibers, lose their other neuronal properties and resume the uncontrolled proliferation characteristic of neoplastic cells.
Shortly after this discovery K. Unsicker and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins University found that immature chromaffin cells obtained from the medulla (inner part) of the adrenal gland and cultured in the presence of NGF acquire the biochemical and morphological properties of sympathetic neurons. Subsequent experiments carried out at the Laboratory of Cell Biology in Rome by Luigi Aloe and one of us (Levi-Montalcini) demonstrated that this remarkable transformation can also take place in the intact animal: repeated injections of NGF into rat fetuses, continued for two to three weeks after birth, resulted in the differentiation of chromaffin cells into sympathetic neurons in the core of the adrenal gland! These findings indicate that NGF plays a much broader role in the living organism than had been supposed.
It should be obvious to the reader that the investigation of NGF, which began more than two decades ago, is far from over. Among the many unanswered questions is why NGF is manufactured and secreted by the venom gland of snakes and the salivary gland of rodents, even though neither of these glands is essential for the life of the organism and the sympathetic neurons that depend on NGF for their survival. The molecule is also manufactured and released in minute amounts by a wide range of normal and neoplastic cells.
The discovery of NGF has made it possible to experimentally manipulate sympathetic neurons with considerable ease, both in tissue culture and in the living animal. With the aid of purified NGF and NGF antibodies the neurobiologist is now able to increase the number of sympathetic neurons in an animal tenfold or to eliminate them altogether. Moreover, the catecholaminesecreting neurons in the brain are strikingly similar to the sympathetic neurons in the peripheral ganglia in both their morphological and biochemical properties. Already information gained from the study of sympathetic neurons has proved applicable to the treatment of disorders of the central catecholaminesecreting neurons, such as Parkinson's disease. A. Bjorklung, B. Bierre and U. Stenevi of the University of Lund recently obtained preliminary evidence that the catecholamine-secreting neurons in the brain respond to NGF with a profuse branching of their nerve fibers. If these findings are confirmed, a powerful tool will become available for modulating the function of such brain circuits, which play a crucial role in many kinds of behavior.

This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories
by Phillip Smith
Suspected dirty cops are under investigation in Texas and Alabama, a light-fingered (and well-connected) Philly cop gets suspended, a Texas cop gets in trouble for trying to set up the -ex, and an Indiana cop sells weed and guns to the wrong guy. Let's get to it:
In Dallas,
two Dallas police officers are under criminal investigation
after a judge determined that they repeatedly perjured themselves in testimony they gave about a 2011 drug arrest. The two officers, Randolph Dillon and John Llewellyn, claimed they were sitting in their squad car when they saw Melvin Williams get into a vehicle and hand the driver something. They then arrested Williams and searched his apartment, then claimed in court that Williams told them there were more drugs and guns in the apartment. An apartment manager who witnessed the search testified that the drugs were actually found in the bushes outside. After listening to other witnesses, the judge ruled, "there is doubt as to whether any illicit drugs that were alleged to have been found belonged to Williams, as opposed to having been planted."
In Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force is under investigation
by the FBI over its accounting practices. The probe began late last year, after discrepancies were found during a November audit. The previous task force commander, Captain Jeff Snyder of the Tuscaloosa Police, has been reassigned and a new commander named. The FBI has refused to comment on what it says is an ongoing investigation.
In Philadelphia,
a Philadelphia police narcotics officer was suspended without pay last Friday
for 30 days with the intent to fire him after that. Officer Gerold Gibson, the son-in-law of Gov. Tom Corbett (R), was suspended after an internal investigation that ended in a sting where he allegedly took $140 from a car wired with surveillance cameras. The investigation began last fall, when some of Gibson's colleagues voiced suspicions that he was stealing clothes, jewelry, and shoes from the homes of suspected drug dealers during raids.
In Madisonville, Texas,
a Madisonville police officer was indicted Monday
on charges that he planted drugs in his ex-wife's vehicle during a 2011 child custody dispute. Sgt. Jeffrey Covington is accused of planting methamphetamine in the vehicle, then informing a state trooper that the vehicle was carrying drugs. Covington's ex-wife was arrested by the trooper, who had no knowledge of the domestic dispute, but the charges were later dropped. Covington is charged with delivery of a controlled substance, obstruction or retaliation, and official oppression. He resigned last week and is free on a $5,500 bond.
In Hammond, Indiana,
a former Gary police officer pleaded guilty Wednesday
to selling drugs and a gun to a felon. David Finley Jr. went down when the felon, who was a snitch for the FBI, made a deal with Finley to buy him a gun. He pleaded guilty to lying during the purchase of a gun, selling a gun to a known felon, and delivery of marijuana. He had additionally faced four more drug charges, but those were dropped when authorities discovered the drugs were actually lawful synthetic stimulants.
