The Age of Pirates has been so thoroughly romanticized in the popular imagination that many people do not know about the real lives of pirates. Films ranging from Captain Blood to the Pirates of the Caribbean series create the idea of piracy as freedom from the boring drudgery and stress of life on land. But how much did pirates' real lives resemble those of the fantastic swashbucklers of the silver screen? Terrance Zepke's book, Pirates of the Carolinas, is a series of short biographies of some of the best-known pirates who operated out of North Carolina. Although not as in-depth as some other accounts, such as Daniel Defoe's A General History of the Pirates, the book provides concise, factually accurate information on some of the most notorious figures in American history.
Dori Sanders was born in York County, South Carolina. Her father's farm, where her family still raises Georgia Belle and Elberta peaches, is one of the oldest black-owned farms in York County. Her father was a school principal and an author. She attended York County public schools and later studied at community colleges in Prince George's and Montgomery counties in Maryland. She does most of her writing during the winter months, in Maryland, where she is an associate banquet manager of a hotel near Andrews Air Force Base. In the growing season she farms the family land, cultivating peaches, watermelons, and vegetables, and helps staff Sanders' Peach Shed, her family's open-air produce stand.
Her recipes include not only new interpretations of old-time favorites such as Spoon Bread, Chicken and Dumplings, Corn Bread, and Buttermilk Biscuits, but also her "Cooking for Northerners"--original dishes such as Winter Greens Parmesan, Roasted Mild Peppers, Fresh Vegetable Stew--and, of course, great recipes for peaches. A Literary Guild and a Rodale Press Book Club selection.
"In Slaves in the Family, Edward Ball, a descendant of Elias, has written a nonfiction American saga like no other. Part history, part journey of discovery, this is the story of black and white families who lived side by side for five generations -- and a tale of everyday Americans confronting their vexed inheritance together. Using the copious plantation records of his family, supplemented by both black and white oral tradition, Ball uncovers the story of the people who lived on his ancestors' lands -- the violence and opulence, the slave uprisings and escapes, the dynastic struggles, and the mulatto children of Ball slaveholders and 'Ball slaves.' He identifies and travels to a prison in Africa from which his family once bought workers. Most remarkably of all, Ball also locates and visits some of the nearly 12,000 descendants of Ball slaves and reveals how slavery lives on in black and white memory and experience."

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is a page-turning story of star-crossed teenage love with a Southern gothic twist and a side of magic.
In the town of Gatlin, South Carolina, everyone knows everybody's business and nothing exciting ever happens, unless you count the annual re-enactment of a local Civil War battle. Unbeknownst to the residents of Gatlin (at least most residents) beneath the thick Southern accents and Spanish moss lurks a whole other magical world, one of hidden underground libraries, voodoo and deadly family curses.
Lena Duchannes and Ethan Wate bridge the gap between these two worlds - two worlds that were never meant to meet.

SAN FRANCISCO - Major international footwear companies would be wise to pay as much attention to the plight of their workers as their marketing campaigns during the World Cup, said the international human rights group Oxfam, which ranked each of the world's major sportswear companies for a new report, ''Offside! Labor Rights and Sportswear Production in Asia.'' According to Oxfam, workers making clothes, shoes, and other goods for global sports brands have been dismissed or threatened with violence when they have organized unions to lobby for better pay and conditions. The report said a majority of Asian sportswear workers are women from poor communities, many supporting children and families.
''If we were giving these companies a grade, none of them would receive a passmark,'' Oxfam's Tim Conner told OneWorld. ''If they were competing in the World Cup of labor rights, none of them would get past the preliminary rounds.'' Top on Oxfam's list is Adidas, which has spent an estimated $200 million dollars on marketing toward soccer fans this year. On the strength of World Cup hype, the company's sales rose 47% in the first quarter of 2006. Net profits rose 37% to $183 million.
But Oxfam charges those profits aren't trickling down to the people who make Adidas' soccer shoes. Their report catalogues abuses at a giant factory in Indonesia that dismissed 30 union workers who took part in a legal strike demanding more than their current salary of 60 cents an hour.
Some 11,000 people work at the Panarub factory near Jakarta, which makes Adidas' Predator Pulse boots promoted by soccer stars in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup including England's David Beckham and Frank Lampard, France's Zinedine Zidane and Patrick Viera, Spain's Raul and Brazil's Kaka. The factory also produces the +F50.6 Tunit boots promoted by the Netherlands' Arjen Robben, Germany's Kevin Kuranyi, and Brazil's Ze Roberto.
''We've been very disappointed with Adidas' response to the firings,'' Oxfam's Conner said. ''Rather than taking a firm decision to support the workers' right to strike they've allowed the case to drag on. Those workers have been without salary for many months now. We're strongly urging Adidas to make sure those workers are reinstated.'' Representatives from Adidas (which also owns Reebok and Rockport) did not return calls seeking comment for this story. But a statement on the company's Web site presents a complicated picture of labor relations at the factory, which is owned by an Indonesian subcontractor.
According to Adidas, strike organizers were dismissed because of ''violence, rude behavior, inciting others to act illegally, damaging company property, and placing themselves and others in danger.'' Nonetheless, the company said the incident remains under investigation. ''PT Panarub is an important and valued supplier. Nonetheless, the standards and expectations of the Adidas Group, its shareholders and other key stakeholders and, most importantly, the rights and welfare of the workers who make our product, are paramount. Adidas Group will provide an update on this case as soon as it becomes available,'' the statement said.
In its report, Oxfam saved its biggest wrath for FILA, a major U.S.-based sponsor in world tennis. Unlike other major athletic gear companies including Nike, Adidas, and Puma, FILA refuses to disclose which subcontractors it works with and where its products are made.
Through investigation, however, Oxfam discovered a FILA sport shoe supplier in Indonesia with an appalling record of worker abuse including long hours of compulsory overtime, verbal abuse, and sexual harassment.
In 2005, the factory closed suddenly and without warning. A year later, none of its 3,500 workers have received any back-pay or severance pay. Oxfam says FILA refuses to reveal its role in the closure or take responsibility for the workers.
Like Adidas, FILA refused to comment for this story. The company's Global Public Relations Director Amy Dimond would only send a statement reading: ''FILA believes strongly in fair labor practices. The company has and will continue to take any and all allegations regarding unfair labor practices issues seriously and will investigate as appropriate.'' Oxfam's Tim Conner says ultimately it may be up to sport stars who receive millions in endorsement deals to stand up for the rights of the workers who make their gear.
''Although the footballers are very busy at the moment, we're hoping that when the World Cup is over some of them will raise the issues quietly with these companies,'' Conner said. ''The footballers themselves are very well represented by players associations. We believe workers should have the same rights to represent themselves in trade unions.'' Copyright © 2006 OneWorld.net

Watchlist 2012
The Watchlist—based on an analysis of hundreds of Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigation reports, safety concerns and Board recommendations—identifies the transportation safety issues that pose the greatest risk to Canadians. In each case, the TSB has found that actions taken to date are inadequate, and that industry and regulators need to take additional concrete measures to eliminate the risks.
The first Watchlist was released in 2010. The TSB intended it to serve as a blueprint for change in the transportation sector—and that's exactly what it did. It generated broad discussion and engagement by the regulators and industry stakeholders. Now, two years later, 14 of the Board recommendations underpinning the Watchlist have received the TSB's highest rating of "Fully Satisfactory".
Our mission is far from complete: it's time for a Watchlist update—addressed issues have been removed; new ones have been added; and some still remain. As Canadians travel from coast to coast to coast, they can do so knowing that the TSB will continue to push for safety along our waterways, on our railroads, and in our skies.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Vols' offensive lineman Kevin Revis is transferring from Tennessee.
"It was a mixture of things," Revis told WVLT by phone Wednesday night.
Revis could not elaborate on the specifics of why he's leaving Tennessee, but he did say that head coach Derek Dooley granted him a full release.
"Some things that I couldn't control, that's basically all I can say right now. I made alot of great friends and I had a lot of great teammates. I love all my teammates that I played with, all the guys I know, a lot of them are like my brothers, all the offensive lineman, they're like my family," Revis said.
The 6'1" Revis signed with the Vols in 2009. He redshirted his freshman season. He played in one game in 2010.
Coming out of Rhea County High School, Revis was a finalist for the Tennessee Mr. Football award.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marcus Spears has agreed to a two-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens announced the move late Friday night. Spears is expected to take a physical and sign the deal within the next few days.
Although the Super Bowl champions have lost several key players during free agency, they've enhanced their defensive line by signing Chris Canty and Spears, who has 89 starts over his NFL career.
General manager Ozzie Newsome says, "The base of a good defense is to be good along the defensive line. Spears, like Canty, can play multiple positions along the line. He brings a lot of snaps and big game experience to us."
Spears was drafted in the first round of the 2005 draft by Dallas.

PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA) Overview Information
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a chemical found in the folic acid vitamin and also in several foods including grains, eggs, milk, and meat.
PABA is taken by mouth for skin conditions including vitiligo, pemphigus, dermatomyositis, morphea, lymphoblastoma cutis, Peyronie's disease, and scleroderma. PABA is also used to treat infertility in women, arthritis, "tired blood" (anemia), rheumatic fever, constipation, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and headaches. It is also used to darken gray hair, prevent hair loss, make skin look younger, and prevent sunburn.
PABA is best known as a sunscreen that is applied to the skin (used topically).
PABA doesn't seem to be taken by mouth as often as it used to be, possibly because some people question its safety and effectiveness.
How does it work?
PABA is used as a sunscreen because it can block ultraviolet (UV) radiation to the skin.
PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA) Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Treating a condition that causes hardening or thickening of the skin (scleroderma). Although PABA is FDA-approved for scleroderma, there is only limited evidence that it is effective. Some research studies suggest it might help for some symptoms of scleroderma, but the most convincing evidence shows that it does not help.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Various skin conditions such as dermatomyositis, vitiligo, pemphigus, morphea, Peyronie's disease. PABA is FDA-approved for use in these skin conditions, but there is only limited evidence that it is effective. Although PABA is sometimes used to treat vitiligo, it has also been reported to cause vitiligo.
- Infertility in women.
- Arthritis.
- "Tired blood" (anemia).
- Constipation.
- Headaches.
- Preventing hair loss.
- Darkening gray hair.
- Other conditions.
PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA) Side Effects & Safety
PABA is safe for most people when applied directly to the skin. There haven't been any reports of significant harm, although there have been reports that PABA increases the likelihood of sunburn in some people, even though it usually works as a sun block.
When taken by mouth, PABA seems safe if taken correctly. PABA can cause skin irritation and might also stain clothing with a yellow color. Nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea, and loss of appetite might sometimes occur. Taking more than 12 grams per day can cause serious side effects such as liver, kidney, and blood problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Children: When applied directly to the skin, PABA appears safe for children. Although PABA might be safe for children to take by mouth, serious side effects can occur. Dose is important. Some children who took doses of PABA greater than 220 mg/kg/day died.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: PABA seems to be safe when applied to the skin during pregnancy or breast-feeding. But don't take PABA by mouth until more is known about the safety of oral use.
Kidney disease: PABA might build up in the kidneys making kidney disease worse. Don't use it if you have kidney problems.
PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA) Interactions
Major Interaction Do not take this combination
- Antibiotics (Sulfonamide antibiotics) interacts with PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA)
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) can decrease the effectiveness of certain antibiotics called sulfonamides.
Some of these antibiotics include sulfamethoxazole (Gantanol), sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra).
- Dapsone (Avlosulfon) interacts with PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA)
Dapsone (Avlosulfon) is used as an antibiotic. Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) might decrease the effectiveness of dapsone (Avlosulfon) for treating infections.
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Cortisone (Cortisone Acetate) interacts with PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA)
The body breaks down cortisone to get rid of it. Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) might decrease how quickly the body breaks down cortisone. Taking PABA by mouth and getting a cortisone shot might increase the effects and side effects of cortisone.
PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID (PABA) Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- To prevent sunburn: PABA sunscreens come in concentrations of 1% to 15%.

This is not an OBE: Anya Hindmarch awarded MBE in Annual Honours List
Anya Hindmarch was awarded an MBE in the Queen's annual New Year's Honours List.
The designer of the controversial "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" eco-tote (pictured left) wasn't the only one with something to celebrate this New Year, Liz also awarded an MBE to Nicky Kinnaird, founder of Space NK.
The slightly more prestigious OBE was awarded to Hilary Riva, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, which should come as a nice pre-London Fashion Week treat. Also awarded an OBE was Gail Sackloff, the merchandise director of Saks Fifth Avenue in Britain.

This Little Underground
The best (and worst) of 2012
Published: December 26, 2012
Nation, it's that time again when we treat Orlando like the center of the motherfucking cosmos and dispense the annual Underground awards to the area's best (and worst) of 2012.
OW already recognized Orange You Glad Festival and Festival of Light & Sound in July's Best of Orlando issue, but I officially echo those picks here. As for the rest …
The Undies
Best new Orlando bands: It was a strong year for Florida with acts like Hundred Waters, Levek and Beach Day breaking nationally. But an inordinate amount of interesting new locals also stood out: Bog Prophet (one sick-ass sludge brute); Boy Division (thrillingly severe New Wave-steeped post-punk); the Dark Sixties (bad-tripping surf-rock for freaks); Day Joy (a bursting cloud of prismatic dream-folk); Girls on the Beach (the biggest garage-rock sonics in the city); Hau Zarest (a richly toned, highly musical hardcore outfit); Hussy (daring avant-punk noise); Jr. Meowzer (red-lining pop-punk revving with '90s fuzz); Portals (post-hardcore power, post-rock expansiveness); Shew'Bird (spare Americana with a deep country croon); Sowester (a spacey alloy of sludge, doom and stoner metal); Trails (mind-shattering, genre-splintering experimental rock duo); Wekiwa (a dark, atmosphere-thick guitar-and-electronics duo); xxyyxx (forward-thinking electronic beat-scaper already garnering national attention).
Best new Orlando releases: AMiAM – The Combine (golden-era hip-hop freshness by one of Orlando's most natural-born rappers); In Curses – Reaching Field (polished, genre-defying, vocal-centric album led by Solillaquist siren Alexandrah Sarton); Junior Bruce – The Headless King (a molten slab of murderous, skin-peeling Southern metal); the New Lows – I Couldn't Sleep (an energized album built on unassailable pop-punk fundamentals); Roadkill Ghost Choir – Quiet Light EP (a prime-time folk-rock work that's a dizzying tip of the iceberg for this band of seriously talented young men); Wet Nurse – Daily Whatever (perfectly pitched between scruff and punch, this is the year's best local garage-punk record); the Woolly Bushmen – self-titled (faithful but feverish, this is party-starting frat-rock straight outta the garage).
Biggest nightlife loss: Mark Wayne. Few have left a deeper, more distinctive mark on Orlando than this patriarch of legendary local lounge act Mark & Lorna.
Best sound experience: Steven Head's parking lot project. Appearing at the Tiny Waves anniversary and the Accidental Music Festival, this Flaming Lips-inspired multi-car experiment was a spatial sonic wonder.
Best new label/scene: Relief in Abstract Records. Besides just a banner, these kids created an entire micro-scene for themselves built on current, tasteful electronic music.

Stem Cell Research Restriction Lifted
Tara Dairman
March 13, 2009
On Monday, March 9, President Barack Obama signed an order lifting the ban on federal funding for certain types of embryonic stem cell research — a move that is being commended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
The order will now allow federal money to support research on lines of stem cells that were created after August 9, 2001. Under President George W. Bush's previous executive order, federally-funded research was limited to 21 stem cell lines created before this date so as not to promote the destruction of new embryos. Now, research on stem cell lines that have been created since then (using private funding) will be eligible for support from the federal government.
The ADA issued a statement on Monday applauding President Obama for "lifting existing restrictions on the use of embryonic stem cells, while maintaining strict ethical guidelines." R. Paul Robertson, MD, President of Medicine & Science at the ADA, said that the move "brings hope to the nearly 24 million American adults and children with diabetes" (you can read the full statement here).
Stem cell research may have the potential to find a cure for diabetes and many other diseases, possibly through the production of "replacement tissues," such as beta cells that could help people with Type 1 diabetes produce insulin again. You can listen to a National Public Radio (NPR) segment about how stem cell research may be able to help people with diabetes here.
What's your opinion on this news? Do you think it's a step in the right direction, or do you think that the research that was already going on was sufficient? Share your thoughts with a comment.
I think it's disgusting. Using babies for experimentation? They have a right to life, too.
Posted by: giantridersm | Mar 18, 2009 12:49 PM
I think lifting the stem cell ban was great!!!! It was too bad it was signed in the first place wasting 8 years of research. The potenial for improving health and lessening suffering is by far the greater good.
Posted by: CathytypeII | Mar 18, 2009 01:03 PM
Thanks to President Obama for lifting the Stem Cell Research ban. We have already lost 8 years in research to cure Type 1 diabetes thanks to the Bush Administration. Maybe now we can move forward to find a cure.
Posted by: gramma6 | Mar 18, 2009 01:23 PM
Just another case of politicians playing on the real needs of people with a problem, in this case those of us living with diabetes. There has not been one successful treatment come from the use of embryonic stem cells -- but many failed and even fatal treatment attempts (which spawned malignant cancer.) Adult stem cell research on the other hand has led to many successful treatments without the moral/ethical questions attached to the embryonic stem cells. This is a step in the wrong direction by Obama -- if he wants to help diabetes research he should increase funding to the adult stem cell programs or other ongoing research areas. It may just be politics to the politicians, but its life or death to us.
Posted by: Eric | Mar 18, 2009 01:55 PM
Well, I think it's a remarkable thing to have someone(the president) care for the 3rd leading cause of death in the US today. I have or suffer from this horrible disease and I do not feel optimal everyday because of the ups and downs of blood sugar readings.I do not like to test my blood nor inject insulin everyday. It is still very inconvenient and interruptive in my daily activities. I've had it since 1991 and I'm sure that complications will show up soon and I could benefit from the stem cell research. I was looking into becoming a candidate for the Islet transplant and I followed all their rules such as quitting smoking and excercising regularly just to be turned down for the injection of this beta cell.
Posted by: Gary | Mar 18, 2009 01:59 PM
I am sorry, I do not believe in stem cell research due to my religious belief and Obama should know better! Isn't he supposedly a Christian? It is not right and it IS controversial, it's no better than cloning it's insane! But to each their own belief and right, but I deffinitely will NOT support this.
Posted by: heavenly35 | Mar 18, 2009 02:00 PM
I fail to understand how anybody could object to use of embryonic stem cells for research for religous reasons. If you don't accept the practice practice, don't follow it, but don't prevent medical progress which will benefit others because of your beliefs. I applaud Pres Obama for this act even tho I am a Republican.
Posted by: Howard | Mar 18, 2009 03:52 PM
Federal funding was only being withheld for embryonic stem cell research. Adult cell reseach could be funded. My question has always been, If embryonic stem cell was such a hot deal how come private drug companies were not heavily into that reseach? Could it be it isn't such a hot area for reseach but if the taxpayers are going to fund it, why not do it?
Posted by: Jim | Mar 18, 2009 04:18 PM
I looked at the definition of embryo on dictionary.com. This is what I found: "the young of an animal, esp. of a mammal, in the early stages of development within the womb". An human embryo is simply a human being at at an early stage of development. I fail to see that using our young to develop possible solutions for those of us who are older is logical. To me it seems barbaric.

I would never want a cure for my diabetes if it meant that an unborn baby had to die for it.
Posted by: carol | Mar 19, 2009 06:50 PM
I have a precious husband who has diabetes. Our deepest desire is to grow old together. Do I want a cure for diabetes...absolutely. Do I want it at the cost of another's life...absolutely not. No person's life should be bought at the price of the life of another person. There has to be a way to find answers without harvesting the cells of our unborn children.
Posted by: CB | Mar 19, 2009 07:53 PM
All life is sacred. It is wrong to use embryos for research. An embryo is as human as a full-term baby. I would hate to think that a cure for diabetes or any other disease must come from the destruction of a life. How many babies have already been aborted that might have found the cure for diseases ethically?

I do not believe that creating life or cure life is our job. God is THE ONLY ONE that can create life and is THE ONLY ONE to cure life. In this day and age of obese children and adults, high fat intact by all, local government cutting costs in schools by eliminating PE, and medication given to "help" one health issue that may result in another health issue, it is or should be of no surprise by anyone that the human body is under attack, and the only way to heal our bodies is to treat it the way God intended it to be treated, as a temple.

Posted by: MarilynH | Mar 21, 2009 07:07 PM
I have diabetes and ethically speaking I don't want to take another life to save my own when I know that adult stem cell is making great strides to cures. Where is the success in embryonic stem cell research anyway?
Posted by: Jim S. | Mar 24, 2009 11:41 PM
I have Diabetes and most definetly won't support use of stem cells being used to test for a cure for diabetes. I would gladly continue having diabetes in order that a babys life wouldn't be taken!! I am most definetly a christian and would hate to be in anyones shoes that allowed this to happen as these babys are alive from the time they began to be formed and I will never understand how people don't realize that and Obama claims to be a christian!! Unreal what is happening in the United States.!! In God We Trust isn't even used anymore!!

God Bless Obama for this correct move.

Lifting the ban on stem cell research is vitally important. The living breathing human beings who might be helped to live a decent productive life are far more important than the might be embryo's that are used and discarded.
Posted by: Trevor | Apr 16, 2009 06:51 PM
The emotion of this disease sometimes overpowers insightful thinking. The vast majority of the research and confirmed breakthroughs have been with adult stem cells. The use of your own skin to make stem cells from your DNA and not some other source is much safer. We act like since the president lifted this ban everything will be cured from paralysis to diabetes. Researchers all over the world with FUNDING using embryonic stem cells for years have not had any major breakthroughs. They have some pretty smart researchers too.
Posted by: Larry | Apr 23, 2009 12:19 PM
welcome all researches help human to live without suffering, if i am right i don't think using stem cell will harm the new coming child , as this stem cells is taken from the cord which will be cut off and the newborn is no longer need it, is it correct? for those who relay on religions on rejecting this scientific researches i say God is kind and he never hate a thing the humanity will benefit from.

John J. Dugan Memorial Fund Continues to Benefit Cancer Care Center
The UVMC Cancer Care Center and the cancer patients it serves are the beneficiaries of the John J. Dugan Memorial Fund for Cancer Care. Since 2005, when the Dugan Memorial Fund was established, an annual fundraiser has raised a cumulative total of $185,000 to support the Cancer Center.
Local businessman and civic leader John J. Dugan died Nov. 1, 2003, from complications of cancer. He was 72. He lived with his wife, Jean, in Piqua. They are the parents of seven children.
In honor of her husband, Jean Dugan made a gift that established the John J. Dugan Memorial Fund for Cancer Care. "It's very important to have quality cancer care here in our community," she noted.
The fund was established not only to support the Cancer Center, but also to increase public awareness of its offerings.
The fund is administered by the UVMC Foundation. Kathie Scarbrough, Executive Director of the Foundation, reported the money raised by the Dugan Memorial Fund, combined with donations from the UVMC Foundation and the UVMC Auxiliary, provided a dedicated CT scanner for the Cancer Center. The CT scanner was installed in February 2007. Jean Heath, Director of the Cancer Care Center, stated, "To be able to provide scans in the Cancer Center, where the other services for cancer patients are provided, improves the quality of time, service and, more importantly, patient care." She said the Cancer Center performed more than 300 scans in 2007.
The fourth annual reception for the John J. Dugan Memorial Fund for Cancer Care was held recently in Covington. Scarbrough reported, "Over 150 people attended the successful event at Tom Hagan's lovely country home."
Jean Dugan said, "John would be honored that this event continues to grow and raise more funds for cancer care in Miami County at UVMC." Brian Dugan, his son, concurred. "Dad would be happy. He was very proud of Miami County and UVMC."
Proceeds from this year's fundraiser will be used to purchase portable patient monitoring systems and new patient treatment chairs for infusion therapy. Patients receiving chemotherapy are treated in the infusion therapy area of the Cancer Care Center.
More information on the John J. Dugan Memorial Fund is available from the UVMC Foundation, (937) 440-7541.

"THIS CASE WAS MODIFIED MAY 30, 2006."The 13,800-hour airline transport pilot and five passengers departed on a short pleasure flight after satisfactorily completing a maintenance check with the engines running on the ground. The pilot flew to a local airport and made a normal straight-in approach, executed an autorotation with a power recovery, then proceeded back to the home airport. While en route, after the helicopter crossed over a large row of power lines, the pilot reported the helicopter lost all engine power. However, none of the anticipated aural warnings, annuciator lights, abnormal vibrations or sounds associated with a power failure was observed. The pilot entered an autorotation and the helicopter contacted the ground hard and rolled over. Examination of the helicopter revealed continuity to all flight controls and the main gearbox. The #1 engine was placed on a test cell, started immediately, and was run at various power settings without interruption. Due to impact damage the #2 engine could not be test-run. Examination of the #1 and #2 engines' main gearbox coupling shafts by an NTSB Materials Specialist revealed that the shafts were both fractured at the reduced section adjacent to the main gear box input splines. The fracture plane, presence of dimpling, and direction of fracture were consistent with ductile torsional overstress with the engines running. In addition, data retrieved from the digital engine control units and damage to the main gear drive shafts indicated that both engines were operating at the time of impact. No mechanical deficiencies were noted that would have attributed to a loss of power on either engine. Several attempts were made to obtain a copy of NTSB Form 6120.1/2, Pilot/Operator Accident Report; however, the pilot failed to submit a completed report.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Melding ZDDs
Let be ZDDs in the same universe . How do we construct their union, ?
If one family is the empty or unit family then the question is easy, and these special cases also hint at the general solution. In particular, if (represented by the single node ) and (so contains a nonterminal node) then, if it does not already exist, we add a dotted edge so that we can travel from the root of to the by following the LO branch every time: bubbles down from the root of along dotted lines and then attaches itself to the ZDD with a dotted line.
Consider the case when both and contain more than one node, that is, neither is the empty or unit family. Suppose they both have a root node labelled for some . Let be the ZDDs on the LO and HI edges respectively. Define similarly:
Recall partition the families of sets of on whether they contain or not, and similarly for , hence our solution must be:
where we recursively find and .
This argument holds for any binary operation that distributes over union satisfying , namely the output lies within the union of the inputs. This ensures we can compute by solving two subproblems, one involving only sets of the families containing a particular element , and the other involving only those not containing .
Thus the only case requiring deeper investigation is when and have root nodes with differing integer labels. Suppose has root node with label and has root node with label , and . Let be the LO and HI children of respectively.
Now is the smallest integer contained in any set of , hence no set in contains . Thus is:
where . Hence "bubbles down the dotted line" whenever . Compare with the special case we discussed earlier, which we can accommodate by defining to be larger than every integer.
Thus we have described all cases of a top-down recursive algorithm for constructing the union of any two families. Observe we avoid creating nodes whose HI edges point to , and we avoid duplicating any nodes.
As all lie within , for these operations the above arguments apply when have root nodes with the same label. Similarly, the "bubble-down" argument still holds when the root of is greater than the root of . The only difference is in the handling of . For intersections, since this represents the sets of containing and since no set in contains , we lop off the entire branch leaving only the ZDD . For the difference and symmetric difference, as in the union, we leave intact as it represents sets of not present in .
One more wrinkle: the case is symmetric except for the asymmetric difference operation. We have in this case.
Let us summarize the nonterminal cases. Let be one of . We reuse the above notation, that is, are nontrivial ZDDs with roots labelled respectively, and are the LO and HI children of respectively and are similarly defined.
When , then is recursively defined by:
where .
When , let . If then , otherwise is:
Lastly, when the cases are symmetric except when , whence .

Findings for PPC in Omaha
Omaha Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Omaha was the 107th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of September 2014. Omaha also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Nebraska, ranking as number 1st. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Omaha Rise in September 2014
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Omaha keywords increased by 10% in September 2014.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 233% Higher in Omaha than Independence
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Omaha are 233% higher than in Independence. The average price of a click in Omaha is $11.16.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Independence is less than Omaha, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

"Won Ton Soup is a genial book, quirky and funny without being overbearingly so. It is a funny page-turner that just rolls on and on, soaking up the otherworldly scenery. It is a book more about just wandering around and experiencing-and taking joy in that experience-than about forcing its characters into artificial conflict for the sake of tension and drama."

Hotel Libertador Palacio del Inka
Cusco, Peru
A storied mansion dating back nearly five centuries, the Hotel Libertador Palacio del Inka is located in the historic center of the ancient Andean city of Cusco, directly opposite the Korikancha (Temple of the Sun) and just two blocks from the main square. The luxury hotel occupies the grandiose Casa de los Cuatro Bustos" where Francisco Pizarro, first Spanish governor of Peru, once lived. Built on the foundations of an old Inca site, some of its original walls still remain. The interior design, decor and handcrafted furnishings evoke Peru's colonial past. The hotel's 203 rooms have carved wooden doors, tapestries, and paintings and mirrors in gold frames. Though the ambience pays homage to bygone days, guests enjoy a full array of contemporary amenities, from luxury beds with fine linens to state-of-the-art technology, including an LED TV, high-speed Internet access, and an iPod docking station. A lavish breakfast buffet is served in the Inti Raymi restaurant, which specializes in haute Peruvian cuisine. Ranked by Conde Naste Traveler as one of the top hotels in South America, this classic property adds an opulent element to our Peruvian adventure.

News Release For Immediate Release Contact: Holly Givens413-774-7511, Ext. 18
GREENFIELD, Mass. (Jan. 23, 2006)-The Organic Trade Association (OTA) is seeking support for establishing an organic title within the next Farm Bill to draw attention to the organic sector and to consolidate provisions for U.S. organic agriculture and farmers.
"The 2007 Farm Bill is the key piece of legislation coming up that can influence organic agriculture and trade for years to come. We envision that all sectors of the organic business community can benefit if we work together on a Farm Bill that addresses the entire organic value chain," according to Katherine DiMatteo, OTA's executive director. A membership-based business association, OTA is seeking provisions within the Farm Bill to benefit the organic farm community and that, in turn, will benefit any businesses that depend on this community. As a result, OTA is currently reaching beyond its membership to encourage discussion of its Farm Bill proposal. The proposal OTA has drafted thus far calls for the following four major provisions:
1) A National Organic Agriculture Initiative to provide overall policy direction for increasing U.S. organic production, comparable to what many other countries have done.2) An Organic Production Office to be responsible for coordinating communication between all U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic programs to ensure the maximum amount of cooperative effort.3) Support and enhancement for existing legislation. Although progress was made in funding organic production in the 2002 Farm Bill, some items can be improved, and almost all need to be re-authorized.4) Agency Cooperative Programs: Many USDA agencies have existing programs that could be expanded to meet the needs of organic producers and the organic trade in general.
"The Organic Trade Association wants everyone in the organic community to have chance to get involved in this discussion, especially during this phase of gathering feedback," DiMatteo said.
As a result, OTA is urging those within the organic farm community to provide input. It will be accepting comments on its draft proposal from the wider community through April 24. You can submit comments by e-mail to email@example.com. For further information, contact email@example.com.
The mission of the Organic Trade Association is to promote and protect the growth of organic trade to benefit the environment, farmers, the public and the economy. OTA envisions organic products becoming a significant part of everyday life, enhancing people's lives and the environment. OTA's more than 1,600 members include farmers, processors, importers, exporters, distributors, retailers, certifiers, and more. For further information, visit OTA's web site at www.ota.com and its consumer web site at www.theorganicreport.org.

In our society, we're all so afraid to talk about money. Money seems like a dirty word in "civilized" society. My grandfather often accused me of needing to go to charm school, so in drawing on my crass roots, let me put it all out there. My grocery budget for my family of three is $350 a month (less in the summer when my garden is producing). That buys me local meat, milk, eggs (if my new chickens ever start laying, I won't have to buy them anymore!), produce, and some grains. The rest of our dietary needs are met by items from my garden, a standard grocery store, warehouse store or bulk purchasing club.
Walking through a traditional grocery store, it is simple to see how people can easily drop a large amount of money on groceries. There are so many items to choose from, and advertisers work hard to fight for your hard-earned dollars. My approach to cooking and food shopping confuses the heck out of food processors, but it serves the needs and stomachs of my family. So how do we do it? Read on to find out! Before we get too deep in the "art" of food shopping, please understand I am not telling you how to eat. The food my family enjoys may look very different from your family's, but ideas can be applied to any situation. Buy Ingredients, Not Food
Huh? Aren't ingredients also food? Well, yes and no. By purchasing components of a meal instead of a meal in a box, I'm spreading out my dollars amongst many food groups. Parts of a recipe can be used in multiple dishes, thereby maximizing my food dollars. Let me give you an example: I can buy a complete chicken meal at a fast food restaurant for about $25. That meal will feed my family for one dinner, and possibly lunch the next day. It will save me time by allowing me to pick up dinner through my car window.
On the flip side, I can wait patiently for my favorite local grocery store to have their twice annual organic free-range whole chicken buy one get one sale and fill my freezer to bursting. Digging some potatoes from my summer garden, I can make homemade "jo jo" fries to roast in the oven while I'm roasting the chicken. Veggies could be picked from the garden, or a simple and delicious salad could be made out of the spinach I purchased at the grocery store.

There are no reviews for situations such as the following:
If the ministry's distance calculation determines that a student is commuting more than 250 kilometers one way, the student will be issued a ministry-generated paragraph on the Notice of Assessment or Notice of Reassessment explaining that the ministry has determined that it is unlikely that the student is traveling daily to the institution and as a result, the student has not been assessed for the Ontario Distance Grant – Commuting. Additionally, if the student is commuting this distance daily, the student is advised to contact their financial aid office to initiate a review to prove that he or she meets the Ontario Distance Grant – Commuting criteria.
A commuting distance of more than 250 kilometers may be calculated erroneously, for example, in situations where the distance calculation is based on the main campus of a college or university and the student is attending a satellite campus that is nearer to home.
While it is unlikely that a student would be commuting more than 250 kilometers one-way to attend postsecondary studies, students who are found through the review to be commuting at least 80 kilometers are eligible for the Commuting Grant.
The FAA is required to confirm the actual driving distance between the student's home address and the address of the postsecondary institution campus that the student is attending.
Documentation required:
Currently, students who are married/common law or a sole support parents will be assessed for the Commuting Grant if their home address is more than 80 kilometers and less than 250 kilometers from the institution they are attending, regardless of whether or not the student is maintaining a separate residence from his or her family.
Under this review a student who is married/common-law or a sole support parent and has a home address that is more than 250 kilometers away from the institution they attend, would be eligible for the Commuting Grant, if the student actually commutes or if the student maintains a secondary residence closer to the institution. In cases where the student maintains a secondary residence, it is expected that they would be travelling regularly and frequently to their home to be with their spouse and/or children.
Documentation required:
There may be situations where the distance calculator used in the assessment process miscalculates a distance and does not identify a driving distance that is more than 80 kilometers one-way between student's home address and the nearest postsecondary institution of the type the student is attending.
While dependent students are expected to report their parent's home address as their permanent address when they move away from home to attend postsecondary studies, some dependent students may provide their local address on their OSAP application form. To consider these students for an Ontario Distance Grant – Travel, the FAA must confirm the following:
Documentation Required:
If a single dependent student is commuting more than 80 kilometers and is not living at home due to a family breakdown, the student may be considered for a commuting grant:
The FAA must confirm the following:

The Cross of Sacrifice instantly identifies a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) war cemetery.
It is a tall, carefully proportioned, sand or limestone [1] Latin cross usually standing on an octagonal base with a downward pointing bronze sword attached to its face. Together, the sword and cross embody the military and spiritual nature of the cemetery. The Cross was intended to represent the faith of the majority of the dead it overlooked.
A Cross of Sacrifice is a feature in all war cemeteries with 50 or more burials [2]. Depending upon the size of the cemetery, it can range in height from 4.5 to 9 metres. It is always precisely positioned so as to enhance the overall design of the cemetery and provide a point of focus.
Sir Reginald Blomfield designed the Cross of Sacrifice. Blomfield was one of the first principal architects for CWGC, and fought in WW1.

I play lead guitar and back up vocal harmonies so tap dancing is really tough. This thing makes life easy. one button to shut every pedal you activated or use it to get pedals out of your chain. Totally programable and i didn't even read manual and figured it out in no time at all. Love it. Can be controlled by an external midi controler so you can get the best of both worlds is you so desire.

Comments about Rocktron PatchMate Loop 8 Guitar Floor Audio Switcher:
I bought this thing based on the claims that there it is a seemless, transparent loop system. Wrong. The loop adds noise even if there is nothing plugged into the system. It also drains the signal in the normal input. The buffered input just increases the noise.
Not a good product for a pro system.
