A new proposal would force people to make decisions about organ donation before they can get a driver's license. The way it would work is applicants are asked to declare if they want to be an organ donor when applying for a license or renewal. So far so good. But if they don't say yes, they would have to either (1) designate a decision-maker on their behalf or (2) check a box acknowledging the importance of making an organ donor decision. Sen. Dick Codey, a prime backer, says the idea is to move the decision from the emergency room, an awful place to decide anything, to the living room. I'm an organ donor. I once had power of attorney for a terminally ill friend who wanted me to make critical decisions if he became unable. But there is something disturbing about forcing people who don't volunteer to donate to take those second steps, something I can't quite pinpoint. Think it has to do more with Big Brother Government than sensible planning for the unexpected. Codey's proposal also calls for an education element on donation at the high school and college levels and for physicians, which is a good thing.

The book details Christie's combative public persona and deep family roots, tracing his improbable political rise from a bruising stint in county government to his anti-corruption crusade as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power goes behind the scenes to reveal his family life, his public life, and what the future might hold..

The Soprano State
"The Soprano State," written by Bob Ingle and Sandy McClure, details the you-couldn't-make-this-up true story of the corruption that has pervaded New Jersey politics, government, and business for the past thirty years. From Jimmy Hoffa purportedly being buried somewhere beneath the end zone in Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands, through allegations of a thoroughly corrupt medical and dental university, through Mafia influence at all levels, to a governor who suddenly declares himself a "gay American" and resigns, the Garden State might indeed be better named after the HBO mobsters.

The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the Potential Winner, or if Potential Winner is a minor, for late, lost, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts of Potential Winner to provide signed parental or guardian consent.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties.

Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn't apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles, County California. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

The Turkish parliament — dominated by a supermajority of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) — early this morning passed a law severely restricting and, in some cases, banning alcoholic beverages altogether. According to Hürriyet Daily News:
Parliament's General Assembly has adopted a highly controversial alcohol bill proposed by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), tightening restrictions on the sale and advertising of alcoholic beverages, despite strong objections against the bill on the grounds of personal freedom and respect for lifestyle choices. The proposal was swiftly put on the agenda, despite the protests from the opposition, and was eventually adopted early in the morning of May 24… According to the bill, retailers will no longer be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The opposition parties strongly criticized the amendments, arguing that such a ban should not include touristic regions… "No one can be forced to drink or not to drink. This is a religious and ideological imposition," Musa Çam, a deputy from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) said. "This is not a struggle against the ills of alcohol but an attempt to re-design the society according to their beliefs and lifestyle," he added….
The interesting thing to watch now will be the reactions of progressives and Turkish liberals who have seen in Erdoğan and his AKP a party bent on reforms and who have argued that criticism regarding Erdoğan's larger religious agenda was unwarranted at best and paranoid at worst. Çam is correct that laws like this are a direct attack on individual liberty and freedom of choice. The evidence that Erdoğan has sought fundamental social change along religious lines has been overwhelming. Let's hope analysts — especially those Ankara-based diplomats or Istanbul-based students and bloggers who have let their hopes and desires for Turkey outweigh analytical rigor — will question why they were so willing to ignore the social and religious aspects of Erdoğan's agenda or accept uncritically the notion that Erdoğan had dispensed with this aspect of his past.

Signing SignificanceBy The Bagger
Billboards, it seems to the Bagger, are one of the last effective vehicles of advertising. In an era when everything is companion media – you are probably checking your e-mail while you are reading this – signs offer by-the-way messages as you go about your business.
Some invite you to bask in the warm-fuzzies of feel-good to come.
Some seem designed to baffle you.
And some just tell you, "Hey, Will Smith's in this one, who cares what it's about?"

GSU is out -- initial thoughts and linksby Laura Quilter on Sat, Oct 18, 2014 at 09:40 am
in ALA Copyright Subcommittee
GSU decision is out -- I attached the PDF.
Don't panic! It's a reversal on fair use, but if you read more deeply, it's actually pretty good. My notes (written for my library director, on a first quick read, not yet edited) are below. I am posting them around because, frankly, I'm not going to have time to write up anything more formal for a few days -- still prepping for open access week!
This morning I was also pointed to Nancy Sims' blog post (h/t Kenny Crews); that's here: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/copyrightlibn/2014/10/11th-circuit-gsu-ruling.html
* Also just saw Mike Masnick @ TechDirt; his analysis comports with mine. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20141017/14481728861/appeals-court-ove...
GSU *looks* to have lost on appeal, because aspects of the fair use holding were reversed, and so the attorney's fees award was reversed. But if you read a little more deeply, you see that
(1) all the big pro-GSU decisions in the fair use analysis that the lower court made were affirmed, actually or in substance; and
(2) the ways that the court corrected the district court will not, on balance, do much to harm educators, and in one respect may be very helpful.
First factor ("purpose and character of the use")
- Like the lower court, the 11th Circuit said ereserves was not transformative.
- Like the lower court, the 11th Circuit (majority) said that nonprofit educational use was tilted toward fair use. This is great, I think. I'm very very happy about this.
Second factor ("nature of the work")
- The Court reversed the lower court on the 2nd factor, saying that the lower court was wrong to presume that nonfictional works tend more towards fair use. But then they said that this factor wasn't very important in this case.
- They talked about distinguishing between analysis and data, which I think is an unfortunate direction, but I have trouble seeing how it will make much of a difference in the near term to ereserves/courseware uses -- especially given the emphasis on how unimportant this factor is.
Third factor ("amount and substantiality taken")
- The Court said that the lower court was in error in establishing a fixed analysis -- 10% or 1 chapter. That's great, actually, because that was a troubling part of the lower court's analysis. Moreover, this was good because the 11th Circuit said the lower court can't just do it arithmetically, but has to actually look at the specific amount, the substantiality, and look at it individually for each use. The publishers definitely don't want this -- as soon as it gets into the details, and the facts of how works are used in the classroom, it starts to look better for faculty. And this is something that we can really help faculty with.
Needless to say, this sort of arithmetic formula is what's included in the classroom guidelines, which is what the publishers wanted. So another win for us.
Fourth factor ("effect on the market")
- The Court said the lower court got some things wrong here on a technical basis but basically did the analysis right in the end. In other words, the lower court gave a pass to GSU if there was no available license, and the 11th Circuit said that was the right approach.
- There was discussion about the burden of proof here. The publishers argued that by being forced to show they did or did not have licensing available, that was an unfair burden of proof; the 11th Circuit said it was fine, because the publishers are the only ones with that information, and the overall burden on this factor & fair use defense as a whole is still with the alleged infringer. (If plaintiff shows they had made licenses available, then defendant has to show why their use wasn't a harm to the market.) That's what CCC wants, of course, but that's not news to anybody, and doesn't change anybody's behavior.
- The court even went out of its way to note that the mere existence of a license, or failure to get a license, doesn't end the inquiry. I think that's helpful.
The 11th Circuit also found error in the lower court's "mechanical" assessment of the factors, weighting each of them the same, and this was part of the reversible error. But then they basically ratified the lower court's analysis of 1 and 4; said the court got it wrong on 2 but that is not important; and on 3 said look at each one individually. That does not help the publishers, who wanted a critique of the entire ereserves / course software program. The "concurrence" makes this clear when they complain about the majority's decision.
The 11th Circuit also found that the lower court's consideration of various extra factors was wrong -- but only because those extra factors could have fit into the four factor analysis.
The 11th Circuit did not reverse the holding that the proper calculation here was the entire work including index, table of contents, etc., rather than individual chapters of the work. For procedural reasons, sure, but a win is a win.
The majority also spurned both the classroom guidelines and the coursepack cases as NOT decisive (and noted that the coursepack cases aren't binding in the 11th Circuit, which was a nice reminder), which is huge. Again, not what the publishers wanted, and the concurring opinion (which reads more like a dissent) was not happy about this. The Court also went out of its way to note that if the classroom guidelines were applicable, the numerical limits establish floors not ceilings.
To me, reading (skimming) the concurrence brought this into focus: The concurrence really read as a dissent. Why? Because notwithstanding the form of the opinion (reversed on fair use), on the big decisions, GSU (well, educational uses) won, and the concurrence was not happy about that.
So, I am pretty darn happy. I really thought this could have gone way south, and it didn't, and in fact the 11th Circuit cleared up a couple of things that I wasn't happy with (the mechanical weighting of the factors, and the objective 10% / 1 chapter rule). The outcome is a remand to reconsider the evidence in light of the new test. What does that mean?
If this actually gets back to the lower court, then the lower court will have to make a nod to the nature of the work in her analysis, looking more closely at what each type of work is. Same with amount taken. Both of these will necessarily involve closer examination of the way the work was used, because the 11th Circuit made it clear that they want close analysis of each alleged infringement, and of each factor.
This is not what the publishers want. GSU doesn't either, of course, nobody does, but the publishers brought this suit because they wanted clear decisions that established mandatory licensing, or ratified the classroom guidelines, or defined ereserves / courseware as copyshop cases. In short, they wanted to kill ereserves / courseware. They didn't get this, and instead they got a decision that said (1) classroom guidelines & copyshop cases don't control; (2) nonprofit educational use is a win on the first factor even if non-transformative; (3) no we're not going to give you a fixed percentage; and (4) if you don't license it you can't really complain. They got a chump change win on nature of the work. At this point, they're litigating over a small number of individual uses, but they can't win what they want to win.
So, I bet this will settle. The publishers will claim victory, but they've lost, because they lost all their big arguments, and this decision does not kill ereserves or courseware use of content -- or require that all such uses be licensed by CCC -- which is what they wanted. Instead, it strongly affirms that educational uses are a big plus on the fair use factor. If there are available licenses for specific content (rarely available for monographs) then that can change things -- but then, we already knew that.
So, like I said, we dodged a bullet. This could have gone so badly, and in my read, I'm pretty happy.

 Hi, guys!
 I'm translating russian verse now, so I've faced lots of difficulties!

 Have a look at this stanza:

 Encouraged by love to fly,
 I'll straight face the battle with fate.
 As was burnt by lightning rye,
 I'll fall near you in ash state.

 My question is about the third line: may I use wrong word order in passive voice? Shall I put comma somewhere? If you find some awful mistakes - let me know about them! Thanks:)

Poetry is not always grammatically correct. It is art. This is where the term "poetic license" comes from. Word order, punctuation, and even the choice of words may be chosen to evoke a certain feeling, create an image graphically, or make the reader ponder. I don't know the poem you are translating, of course, but "straight face" and "in ash state" don't seem to have been translated well.

 Order of Adverbshttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/15937-order-of-adverbs/
 Hi.

 I was coming up with a sentence about a married couple and presented a question which I couldn't find the answer to.

 "They live happily together." vs. "They live together happily."

 Which one is right?

 That sentence would not have any more adverbs later.

 I looked it up and read a few articles about adverbs but still have no idea which would be correct. Can anyone help me out? I appreciate it.

asked May 23 '13 at 08:44 by C.H., New member

 Either one is correct, and their meanings are the same.

Apple isn't going to actively *prevent* anything
I'm getting fairly tired by the folks claiming that Apple is going to gout on a limb to not support Mac OS 9 in a future version of the hardware. As the hardware evolves, it becomes more and more expensive to port OS9 forward to support it. That is, Apple has to actively work and has to invest a boatload of money in making OS9 work on the new hardware. OS9 has its merits, but good separation between hardware and software above the kernel ain't one of 'em. Furthermore, OS9 can't take advantage of a number of the performance related features found on modern mac hardware. Example: a dual proc machine is basically pointless for OS9 except for a handful of PhotoShop plugins and some of the video production stuff. More information here...
Apple isn't going to actively *prevent* anything
... Maybe not actively - but certainly "passively", à la Steve-O's "reality distortion field", if one can say soo... ;-)

ATLANTA — Gov. Nathan Deal has signed a bill to standardize annual evaluations for Georgia teachers and principals based, in part, on student performance. Deal signed the legislation without comment on Tuesday, which is the last day for bill signings. The evaluation system is based on a pilot program launched a few years ago with federal funds and is expected to be implemented in every district by the 2014-15 school year. Georgia is the latest state to move toward a standardized evaluation system as advocates around the country have pushed for the change. The article is in the Athens Banner Herald.

The script played out the same for Valparaiso on Wednesday night as the Crusaders fell behind big in the opening moments, only to stage another late rally that came up short. Evansville led by 25 at the half and had the lead up to 27 before the Crusaders stormed back and cut the deficit to six. D.J. Balentine led five Evansville players in double figures with 32 points.
Game Ball -- What else can be said about Alec Peters? Alec's journey to his tornado-damaged hometown of Washington, Ill. was covered here, here and here before Wednesday's game against the Purple Aces. Peters traveled six hours back from Ohio on Sunday, hopped in a car Monday morning, worked all day in the tornado relief effort and drove back to Valpo Tuesday morning before taking an afternoon charter flight to Evansville with the team. Peters could've had the worst game of his career on Wednesday and he still would've been worthy of the Game Ball. Instead, the freshman connected on seven 3-pointers and had 30 points while wearing an orange ribbon that honored his family and friends in Washington. This kid really is something special.
Air Ball -- 5:36. 4:19. 6:13. That's how long it has taken Valparaiso to trail by double digits in each of the last three games. Valparaiso coach Bryce Drew mentioned five travel days in the last eight days and that Wednesday's game reminded him of the slow start at Nebraska last season after coming off the 7 a.m. ESPN Marathon tip against Northern Illinois. If fatigue is an issue, common sense would indicate that it would kick in late in the game, not in the early stages. I know adrenaline factors in and if that's the case, the Crusaders need to start playing five-on-five full-court during the 60 minutes they have on the court during warm-ups. This team is gutsy enough to battle back in these games, but sooner or later this team will realize that winning is a lot easier when there isn't a double digit margin hanging over their heads.
Quotable -- "We'll definitely evaluate where we are in terms of the starting lineup and we were are in terms of putting players in the best situations where we can be successful."
Whistle It, Just A Little Bit -- The Crusaders were called for 28 fouls while Evansville was whistled just 14 times on Wednesday night. Some of the calls against Valparaiso were bordering on absurd according to Valparaiso play-by-play announcer Todd Ickow. Granted, a chunk of the fouls were late in the game when the Crusaders were trying to battle back, but a +19 free throw attempt advantage for Evansville went a long way in determining the outcome of this game.
Catching Fire -- Jubril Adekoya was just the spark the Crusaders needed in the second half. The freshman entered the game with just over 15 minutes remaining and took just one short breather until the end of the game in his first extended Division I minutes of the season. The Chicago native delivered with four points, three rebounds and six assists. Drew prefers an eight-man rotation, but Adekoya may have earned some minutes on Wednesday night.
Goliath Lives -- Neither David Chadwick or Nick Davidson saw the floor against Evansville. Davidson has appeared sparingly early in the season while Chadwick averaged a handful of minutes in each of the first four games.
#More3sBobby -- Bobby Capobianco knocked down his only 3-pointer of the night and is now shooting 78 percent from the perimeter. The senior is the aim of plenty of message board angst, yet he has delivered when called upon from long distance. Capobianco is shooting 60 percent from the floor this season.
Up Next -- The Crusaders (2-3) return home from their three-game road trip for a four-game stay at the ARC beginning on Saturday afternoon against James Madison.

UK News
Insights from the UK and beyond
"Bigoted woman" brings election to life, but is it nail in Brown's coffin?
Forget the budget deficit, forget the jobless, forget the recession and forget the spending cuts to come.
The election is just over a week away. But the biggest issue for the media has become whether or not Gillian
Duffy, a pensioner in Rochdale, had accepted an apology from Gordon Brown after he was overheard calling her "bigoted."
Journalists on the campaign trail have been repeatedly complaining there's no spontaneity. What they mean is that no one has made any mistakes — gaffes as they call them or anything that can have "gate" attached to its end.
So "Duffygate" was manna from heaven. Unaware a broadcast microphone was still on when he got back into his car, the prime minister described Duffy as "sort of a bigoted woman".
Reporters immediately relayed the prime minister's comments to Duffy who said she would no longer vote Labour.
Brown was forced to apologise. And then even more bizarrely, the prime minister's cavalcade turned up at the pensioner's Rochdale home and Brown went into her house.
He was in there for nearly 45 minutes as 24-hour news channels kept the door in shot as if they were filming the outcome of a papal election.
He was grinning when he finally came out and said Duffy had accepted his apology. He was a "penitent sinner". There was no corroboration from her. She wanted the media to get out of her driveway.
So what does it mean for Brown? Probably a storm in a teacup. Cringeworthy as the apology was, he might get the benefit of the doubt from people who understand people make mistakes.
That is especially true when the ubiquity of mobile phones means everyone knows someone who has said the wrong thing while making a pocket call.
The danger for Brown is that he's seen as two-faced but the current state of the polls seem to indicate no one trusts politicians anyway.

The 3-year-old kid suckling from his mother's teet on the cover of Time Magazine is NOT too old to breastfeed ... so says a powerful breastfeeding organization -- but they do have one gripe.
TMZ spoke with Bettina Forbes -- co-founder of Best for Babes -- an advocacy group dedicated to educating moms about breastfeeding.
Forbes tells us, "We understand that Americans are uncomfortable with [the Time cover], but in cultures where babies wean themselves normally, usually somewhere around age 3 or 4, it is perfectly acceptable."
She adds, "Think of it this way -- some cultures have been drinking green tea for millennia, only recently has it become popular in the United States once the health benefits were understood and it was popularized by marketing ... breastfeeding is the same, it is accepted and valued in many cultures, but not yet fully in the U.S."
As for the gripe -- Forbes says her first choice would have been Jennifer Garner in the role of breastfeeder ... but "we're happy with anything that is an appealing image, provokes conversation, and ultimately desensitizes people to breastfeeding."
Sick sick sick
If that kid is the size of a midget. It's best to stop breast feeding him or her. That picture is not right. Not right at all. Time should put up proper picture of a woman breast feeding an "infant".
There is something wrong when a woman still allows a child of 3 or 4 to still breast feed. Breast feeding is to provide nourishment to the baby. If a child can eat regular food then it does not need to be breast feeding. Last I heard a 3 and 4 year old can eat regular food. We do not live in a country where food is scarce. So they do not need to continue breast feeding a 3 or 4 year old.
I don't have an issue with women breastfeeding in public, but do it respectively. Cover yourself up so that the entire world can't see everything that is going on. I am a women and I would not want everyone getting a free show. This cover is ridiculous. And I am sorry but that kid looks way too old to be breastfed.
They are correct...the vast majority of babies in this world are breastfed until 2-4, and weaning is a natural process, usually done by around 2, but some kids go longer. IN the US, it's ridiculous that there is this arbitrary 6 or 12 month cutoff date for weaning. Breastfeeding is very beneficial to the baby, both for immunity but also brain development. My own mom breastfed her 5 kids until we were between 18mos and 2.5 years old (this was in the 70's and 80's) and let us wean ourselves for the most part.
As the oldest of the 5, i saw all of my siblings breast fed and it seemed completely natural to me, no big deal....and do not come from a hippy-dippy family, either. I still don't get how some people are so uncomfortable with the idea that a breast being suckled. Although by 3-5, it could be that the parents aren't supplying proper nutritional supplements that the kids needs, or (and I know some women who do this!) they use nursing as a form of maintaining structure in their child's life, such as nursing before bed. I may not necessarily think that's a great idea, but I doubt that it's causing any major psychological issues with the child. It's the western culture that is telling mothers this is a bad thing...which is a shame.
The reality is this woman is young, attractive, fit, with small perky breasts. She had her son over 3 years ago. The reality is when you see a woman breastfeeding in public, they are 30 to 40lbs overweight from having a baby, she doesn't have time to fix her hair and make up, her breasts are huge and sagging from the weight of the milk.
This child will go from the teat of his mother to sucking the teat of the government. I see a future Occupier
hey TMZ, show the whole picture!
I think that pick is not what I want to see. If people choose to breast feed good for them but I believe they should cover up when the do it.
It's spelled T E A T, idiot.
That "3 year old" looks closer to 6!
Well...not the most accurate Time cover.....why?
1. Mom is too good looking, looks like she just got done working out.
2. NO WAY do those boobs have milk in them, too small.
3. No way is that kid 3 or 4....looks like 7,8 or 9.
Just a cheap 'get' for readership. 'nuff said.
Is it just me or does that kid have facial hair?
How to make print media relevant again....
...by turning a once reputable news magazine into a circus sideshow. Tacky yet refined? I think someone beat you to it, Time.
I breastfeed all my kids and when they were 6 months that was the end of it. If these women want to give there kids breast milk get a breast pump, There's no excuse for older children to be sucking on there mothers nipples, In the poor countries they do it because of the lack of food that's a big difference then living here, Whats that kid going to do when he is in school? Call mom.

With a history that dates back to 1920, the PGA of America – Aloha Section is proud to continue our partnership with MAUNA LANI RESORT as title sponsor of the HAWAII STATE OPEN – Hawaii's most prestigious and historic golf event of the year. Established as the ultimate golf championship for professionals and amateurs in Hawaii, the MAUNA LANI RESORT HAWAII STATE OPEN will be held December 12-14, 2014 on the emerald fairways of the Francis H. I'i Brown North and South courses.
The 54-hole stroke play championship event consists of four divisions: Men's Open, Men's SeniorOpen, Women's Open, and Men's A-Flight. Last year with volcanic fog looming over the horizon at the Mauna Lani North Course, Nick Mason birdied the third playoff hole to win his first Hawaii State Open over defending champion Dean Wilson. Mason posted a four under 68 in his final round, while Wilson shot a sizzling five under 67 to get in a two-way playoff at ten under par. The drama unfolded on the second playoff hole when Mason missed a 4-foot birdie putt to win, but steadied his play with a 25-foot birdie putt on the third playoff hole to pocket the $10,000 first place check. Amateur David Fink posted a three under 69 (-9), to finish one stroke out of the playoff but he would win the Low Amateur Championship for the Men's Open Championship Flight.
In addition to the Championship tournament the Aloha Section PGA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, announces the 2014 MAUNA LANI RESORT HAWAII STATE OPEN – PRO AM held on Thursday, December 11th, at Mauna Lani's Francis H. I'i Brown – South Course. As a fundraiser for the Foundation, monies raised will support the continued growth of the game in Hawaii. Participants in the Pro-Am can look forward to a memorable experience on the emerald fairways and have their breath taken away by the captivating ocean views of the Kohala coastline. The tournament format is a six-person team (five amateurs/one professional). If you would like to invite your own professional to play with your group, we can accommodate your request. Otherwise, the tournament committee will assign a pro for you. The format is a 2-Best Net Aggregate with a shotgun beginning promptly at 10:00AM on the South course. This event will be played the day before the HAWAII STATE OPEN – which means the course should be in pristine tournament condition.
On behalf of the tournament committee we invite you to join us at Mauna Lani for a tournament experience unlike any other in Hawaii. For more information about the Championship Event or Pro-Am Fundraiser please contact the Aloha Section PGA office (808) 593-2230.

Commemorative Roll of Honour
They shall grow not old,
Each year The Scots at War Programme receives hundreds of enquiries and requests for information concerning men and women who served their country.
We believe that you would wish to have their names recorded for others to see worldwide. We invite you therefore to contribute to this Roll of Honour by adding the name of a friend, relative, loved one, somebody that you know, have researched or that you feel should be included. You may like to add your own name if you qualify.
The concept of Scots at War is taken in its broadest sense. Serving in a Scottish or Commonwealth Scottish Regiment, a Scottish named ship or Scottish Squadron, serving in Scotland, or in Scottish waters, in the services or as a civilian, being Scots or having Scottish ancestry all qualifies your candidate.
The list is intended to include men and women who served in the armed and civilian services, those who lived and those who died. The names of those of any race, colour, creed, religion or status may be added. We would emphasise that Scots at War is a 20th and 21st Century Project and this roll is intended to cover the same period.
The Roll is organised on a simple A-Z index based on surname.
To do justice to the person that you have chosen we would ask you to add a few personal details if you have them.

Comments (6) Leave a comment
it is difficult to answer because we do not yet know the extent. Will we be able to find feed? will we be able to afford it, if we find it..what will the end of the crop year really look like. It is too soon to tell if in Ohio this will be worse than..say 1988
When I started farming in the mid 60's the northeast had 3 of 4 years when there was 50% first cutting, no regrowth or pasture and corn that stood 6-7' high with little grain and too dry to ensile properly. This was not national in scope so we could purchase hay at considerable expense and corn meal thru a disaster relief program. For us "here" that was far worse than anything I have seen since.
Last year was worse for us we had over 90 days of 100 plus degrees with no rain and there are still parts of the state that have not had rain for one year it is bad but God will send rain
Crop conditions are near excellent in northeast WI. We started off a little dry in early June but then we got about 3 inches the third week and then about 2 weeks later another 1 inch and now the end of July have gotten about 4 + inches in a week. I truly feel sorry for areas hit by the drought, as we have 400 cow dairy and cannot imagine trying to find feed for them to replace what should have been grown on our farm.
I am not sure that this is the worst drought we have ever faced, but the impact of it this year sure will be the worst we ever faced....
1962,63, part of 64 was far worse in PA. Mowed the thickest hay, raked the thickest of the mowed, and baled all in the same day. Corn crop was less than waist high. Hot, dry, lasting way too long. 1988 in Central PA was the same.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Brain Fog0
In this increasingly stressful world more and more people are finding themselves working two and three jobs or trying to raise their grandchildren. There is a billion dollar industry all wrapped around energy drinks. In a word, it seems everyone is tired and we wonder how much coffee it's going to take to get through the day. But what if something is nagging you that is something more? Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is medical condition where a person feels exhausted no matter how much they sleep or how little they exert themselves.
Symptoms of CFS
This list is not exclusive and may also be part of other medical conditions. If any of these symptoms can be attributed to other conditions (depression, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia) then chronic fatigue syndrome is ruled out.
• Brain Fog (feeling like you are in mental fog)
• Dizziness, trouble with balance or fainting
• Impaired memory or concentration
• Not feeling rested after sleep
• Muscle and joint pain
• Headaches that are new or have greater severity
• Sore throats recurring frequently
• Allergies to foods, odors, chemicals, or noise
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Chills and night sweats
Brain Fog and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Since chronic fatigue syndrome has so many overlapping symptoms with other conditions it is important to understand the symptom most idiosyncratic to the disease. Brain fog, like it implies, is the state of mind where a person feels cognitively foggy. The official medical term for brain fog is "Clouding of consciousness".
The sufferer experiences a subjective sensation of mental clouding. Some compare their overall experience as a bit like walking around in a dream. Like we perceive of dreams the person has trouble with balance, and concentrating on the task at hand. They struggle so much that the passage of time is lost on the sufferer. People walk around saying they are, "confused" or "not being able to think straight."
This frightens the person and/or their loved ones because CFS comes on many times after a "flu like" bug comes upon them. They kind of recover from the physical symptoms, but there is a marked change in their behavior that lasts six months a year later if not alleviated. For some people they are able to come back to some functioning but aren't 100%. Other people end up staying bedridden due to chronic fatigue syndrome.
Treatments include some form of psychological therapies for the adjustment to having a chronic illness. The physical symptoms are treated with various interventions.
