I have four Czech immigrant lines, from different parts of Bohemia. In addition, my Chicago's Grand Crossing Czech Community project has led me to even broader Czech research. This web page gives information that I have learned about where and how to find Czech and Moravian church records on the Internet.
The Czech Republic is broken up into major regions, called Kraj. You can roughly think of a kraj as similar to a US state. Each kraj is sub-divided into districts, known as an okres.
Each okres has a principal city that is the name of the okres, which includes the small towns and villages that are part of the okres. You can roughly think of an okres as similar to a US county.
These are the civil units. The church units fit roughly within this same structure. But a church town served as the parish church for the smaller towns and villages nearby.

The map above is from the Czech Statistical Office web site (in English and Czech), which has many maps, including excellent maps of the central region.
German names of the towns, used under the Austrian empire, can be seen on the 1910 Austro-Hungarian military maps. Click here for the index map. Then click on the index map area you want to see, and it will open a high-resolution map of that section. I usually keep a Google Maps or Mapy.cz window open and go back and forth between the two, so that I can see both the Czech and German names and can keep my bearings on the very detailed German map.
There is one other nationwide map worth knowing about, if you have Evangelical (Lutheran) roots: the map of Evangelical parishes in 1937. This is a map that you might not find, since it is only on the Třeboň Archives web site. Here is the map:

There are also very important 1800's property maps of the towns of Bohemia. I have added a section on these maps at the bottom of this page. Click here to go there directly.
There are few Internet records of Czech and Moravian churches that have a computer-searchable index. For the most part, you will be paging through digitized records of church books. However, some of those books have hand-written indexes.
I rely very heavily on Google Translate. I keep a separate window open, sometimes more than one, so that I can copy and paste text into Google Translate. I also paste the URL of a web site, and Google Translate translates the web page -- and any web pages that you go to by clicking one of the links on the translated web page. The translations are rough, but I can usually understand the meaning, even if the translation distorts things a bit. The records themselves are in Latin, German and Czech, depending on when they were created.
While the country has 14 regions (13 kraje + Prague), there are only eight archives (listed at the top right of the above map). And since some of the archives have their records on the same web site, there are only 6 web sites. Note that the archival boundaries do not necessarily follow the boundaries of the regions. So some regions have their records in more than one archive. In particular, Kraj Vysočina has records in three different archives. The districts are not split between archives.
So the following sections have links to and information about the six online digital archive web sites, plus a seventh link and information about FamilySearch's holdings of Czech record images. Note that FamilySearch also has an excellent set of web pages on Czech research.
There appears to be a complete inventory of all known record books. (Each line of the "Matriky" is a record book.) They are listed in order (when you click on "Matriky" and choose the archive you are searching) by church, showing also the okres. So for very small towns, you do need to figure out which church they went to, since the small town with no church will not be listed. If there are images, then there will be a magnifying glass icon that you can click on to view the images. In some cases, there are also star, circle and cross icons. These indicate that the book has and index (or in some cases is entirely an index book): star = birth, O = marriages, + = deaths). If you hove your mouse over one of the icons, it will show which years the index covers.
If there is a "Strany" column, it lists the number of pages in the book. Unfortunately, there are many with zero, since this is an incomplete resource for now.
Click the "Ohdlásit" tab to log out of ActaPublica.
Státní oblastní archiv v Třeboni (State Regional Archive at Třeboň)
This is the best of the six web sites. That is not just because it is in English. Compared to other sites, this site has more complete holdings of parish registers, has many other online record sources, and is very elpful in its navigation to specific towns' records. You are fortunate if your records are at this archive.
This site works very differently from all the others. So here is how to find (1) whether they include your town, (2) whether they have yet digitized your town, and (3) the digital images of the records that include your town. You do need to be a bit computer savvy and to have a computer with good horsepower and disk space and a high speed internet connection. Also, this site has been prone to changing their web addresses, so that earlier versions of my own web page had links to it that no longer worked. So the following is going to be a bit tedious, but it will probably still work even if direct links have changed.
Step 1 - Click on the link to the State Regional Archives in Zámrsk at the top of this information box. It will be in Czech, but at the left side, you will see one item that says "English Page". Click on that, which at this writing takes you directly to their English page.
Step 2 - Scroll down the English page until you find the brief "Genealogical Research" section. There are three lines in this section.
Step 3 - The "Download" link
As of the last time I downloaded the file, the Catholic records are on pages 1-1557, and the Czech Brethren and Lutheran records are on pages 1558-1664. You definitely want to use the PDF search feature, since this is an enormous document. I search for the parish that I found on the maps, making sure that I am only looking at the pages in the section of the appropriate religion. Using the PDF search does require that you use the correct diacritical marks. So either search on a unique section of the town name that does not use diacritical marks or else Google on the town name without diacritical marks so that you can find some instance of it that you can then copy and paste into the PDF search.
The towns covered are in italics at the top of the first page of their section. The specific registers (matriky) then follow this text-block. For those that are digitized, there will be a URL for a ZIP file as the last entry for the register. Click on the URL to begin the download of the zip file.
The zip file contains every page of the register, with one JPG file for every pair of facing pages. Each JPG file is about 1.6MB. So the entire ZIP file can easily be on the order of 600MB and take as long as two hours to download, even with a powerful computer and excellent high-speed internet connection. But once you have this downloaded, it is very much worth having waited for.
Once the zip file has downloaded, you must then extract the files from the zip file, and you can then finally begin to search for specific records among the images.
The �Vital records search� near the top right is the place to find life event records. Click on that link, and then click on the �Archivn� VadeMecum - Vital records search� link and then click on the image of the front cover of a book. You are then at a good introduction to the search. You can click on the Search tab to begin the search for a town. There you can either pick the town from a list or enter it in the LOCATION box (without diacritical marks) at the top left of the screen. The results are listed in the box at the bottom half of the screen.
Click on the �Online Resources� tab at the top center of the page. This takes you to a page that includes a link to "Parish books". These are merely inventories; there is no access to online records. But it does show the coverage. The link to view the images of the books is the �Catalogue� link (upper left of the Online Resources screen). This takes you to an introductory page. If you click on the underlined words �The catalogue of the city archives of Prague� at the beginning of the text or on the �Search the Catalog� button, you are then taken to a page that lists all the types of records. You could have reached this same page from the main page of the Archive by clicking on the "Digital Collections" link, but then you would not have seen these other pages of very useful background information. But after the first time, you will probably want to use the direct "Digital Collections" link.
Click on the �Collection of Registry Books�. Then click the �Browse and Search� tab, where you can burrow down through the hierarchy of registers (Matriky) to find the one that you want.
Choosing several towns and registers at random, it appears that there are as yet very few digitized records available online, since none of them had links to view images. In fact, I found the site frustrating. They have a link to a PDF file of digital duplicates, but when I searched on one of the locations in the file by entering it, both with and without diacritical marks, the search found nothing. So I am unable to find any online images. The introduction indicates that there are some, but they appear to have much digitization work ahead of them.
The UAZK (Ústřední Archiv Zeměměřictví a Katastru = Central Archive of Surveying and Cadastry) web site has many maps. One collection is the cadastral (property definition) maps, which date to the 1840's and show who owned each tract or parcel of land. These can be very valuable for finding your ancestors' location, particularly for those places where the numbering system has changed and you only have the old house number.
Using the site is a bit difficult, since there is no overall search capability. But if you know the town for which you are looking, you can follow these instructions to locate the map of the town.
Instructions for Finding UAZK cadastral map of a specific town
Instructions for Using Google Maps to find correct diacritical spelling
The search by name in the steps above requires that the town name have the correct diacritical marks. The easiest way to obtain this is via Google Maps.

Third and fourth graders at Ryan Elementary weren't the only ones having fun at the Get Earthquakes Fit Family event presented by Kaiser Permanente on Friday. Quakes players, Rafa Baca and Mehdi Ballouchy, teamed up with Q and head athletic trainer Brian Lee to share their wisdom on eating healthy and exercising daily.
Ryan Elementary is one of 25 schools this year to participate in the Get Earthquakes Fit program. The San Jose Earthquakes and Kaiser Permanente partnered to create a curriculum designed to increase physical activity in the classroom and at home. Get EQ Fit requires students to engage in 20 minutes of physical activity each day. Each fun five-week program begins with a visit by a Kaiser Permanente physician and ends with a congratulatory visit from a Quakes player.
Friday marked the completion of Ryan Elementary's Get EQ Fit program. Families enjoyed a farmers market, raffle giveaway, Quakes swag and, of course, a visit from Rafa Baca and Mehdi Ballouchy.
Check out the photos below. Thanks for having us, Ryan Elementary!

Goonies were back at Buck Shaw tonight in a Western Conference showdown with the Colorado Rapids. The Rapids may have gotten on the board first, but in true Goonie fashion, the Quakes came back to equalize in the 78th minute.
Be sure to use #SJEarthquakes, and your Tweets could make our Storify:
Saturday was another memorable day at the office for the Earthquakes what with another Goonie moment courtesy of Sam Cronin(ja) & Co. However, the most touching storyline goes to Marcus Tracy making his MLS debut after more than three years away from first team competition.
The former Hermann Trophy winner at Wake Forest took his game to Aalborg BK out of college, but knee injuries forced his career to take a detour. In fact, his last first team appearance came on Dec. 5, 2009 in a 2-0 Aalborg loss against Sonderjyske (he did make a handful of reserve appearances in 2010).
Count it up and Tracy's 76th-minute substitution for Marvin Chavez was his first senior team appearance in 1,246 days or 3 years, 4 months and 29 days. In other words, the last time he suited up, President Barack Obama was wrapping up Year 1 in his new house, iPads had yet to hit the market and, fortunately, Bieber Fever wasn't quite a thing yet.
Tweet at this guy and welcome him back: @MarcusGTracy.
The accolades (?) keep coming for Earthquakes mascot Q and UFC fighter Luke Rockhold. This morning, the duo received co-No. 1 honors in ESPN SportsCenters' Not Top 10 for their "Mascot Hit in the Groin by Soccer Ball" affair from last weekend's ceremonial first goal.
The video is up against New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and his infamous "Butt Fumble" for Worst of the Worst. To vote, follow this link and click "SportsCenter: Worst of the Worst" on the left column.
UFC fighter Luke Rockhold might not have scored the ceremonial "First Goal" on Saturday, but the judges gave him a unanimous decision after drilling Earthquakes mascot 'Q' in the groin with his shot.
Rumor has it 'Q' was demanding a re-match in the Octogon after the incident to exact his revenge.
How much paperwork goes into building a stadium? Enough that you need a dolly to drag it all into City Hall.
Club president Dave Kaval did just that on Wednesday, offering up a few trees worth of building documents for the City of San Jose to peruse over the coming weeks.
In the meantime, prep work continues at the site.

How far will fans be from the field when the San Jose Earthquakes open their new stadium? Quite simply, not far.
Here's a comparitve look at the rakes of various venues from around the league:
Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski is back to baffling opposing defenses. His nifty trap-and-fire from Saturday won the Earthquakes three points and is nominated for AT&T Goal of the week.
Fans can click here to vote and/or text G4 to 22442. Voting is open until 11:59:59 p.m. PT on Thursday.
Earthquakes defender Justin Morrow scored his second career MLS goal on Saturday, equalizing in the 73rd minute of a 1-1 draw in Columbus. Even better, MLSsoccer.com's Greg Lalas breaks gave the strike some love in this week's Anatomy of a Goal.
Take a look below to see the build up to @jmo_row_15's impressive finish:

Last week part-owner Moby told BlackBook that even he finds the Box too depraved to visit, and today the magazine takes the first in-depth look at the cabaret since it opened almost a year ago. Of course, anyone who has dropped in after midnight (or auditioned there) knows that the shows involve more sex toys than a sale at Babeland its responses to employee allegations of backstage decadence that interested us.
Hammerstein tells the magazine that he has a set of ethics and did nothing wrong, and one performer backs him up (kind of): Ive never heard anybody say that Simon forced them to have sex. Hed push drugs and alcohol on you like crazy. Ive seen him get girls really fucked up, to the point where they werent making good choices. Theres a fine line there. Another former employee says: Simon created a culture. People smoked pot at staff meetings. Drank wine at rehearsal. The whole thing was fueled by drugs and alcohol. It changes the way you behave. I constantly had to make sure that Simon didnt fire the entire band and not remember the next day or belittle the stage crew in front of large groups. One performer says she was sexually harassed daily; another says Hammerstein is a harmless vanilla boy. Meanwhile, the Boxs liquor license expires at the end of this month no word yet as to whether or not it will be renewed.

Christmas is a joyful time of year that is usually spent with family, friends, and loved ones. It is a chance to get together, share memories, and enjoy giving. Christmas can also be thought of as a romantic holiday for new couples and for couples who have been together for half-a-lifetime. Christmas dinner is very important for couples who wish to spend the holiday together. There are ways to make Christmas dinnertime romantic.
Decorate festively
First, you should decorate. Try using silver and gold accents to add a romantic touch. Make the task of decorating a combined effort. Embellish the dining room, or the entire home, with ornaments, pictures, cards, crafts, wreaths, and other decorations that hold a special meaning for you two as a couple. You can also spend time helping each other decorate the Christmas tree. Then dim the lights, sit back in each other's arms and admire your handiwork.
Plan the dinner
Every important dinner needs a plan. What will you make? How much? What will you use for place settings? The two of you can discuss what you want for dinner and how you want the dinner to go, and then make a final decision based on the most agreed upon ideas. Print out the recipes you decide on, and choose which tasks you will each take care of. You may also want to decide how many plates and bowls you will need, and if you want to have a dessert.
Cook together
Now that there is a dinner plan, you can begin on the task of preparing and cooking the food. You can share the responsibilities when making your favorite dishes by helping each other with the cooking steps. What is most important is working together and both being equally involved. Make it special by tasting each other's recipes as they cook, and sharing ideas about what spices or ingredients to add. More essential than how the meal turns out, is the experience of creating it together in a loving way.
Set the table
The ambiance of the dinner is just as important the food. Work together on creating a romantic atmosphere. Start by clearing the dining table and covering it with an attractive table cloth that has a dreamy holiday design or image. Then, set out your best dinnerware and wine glasses. Use cloth napkins and napkin rings that are festive and pretty. Lastly, make sure to place a pair of taper candles between your place settings, and light the candles. Maybe you will also want to add some scented candles or incense in the background for a romantic aroma.
Enjoy the special dinner
Sit down at the table together and say a prayer for your love for each other, now and in the future. Take your time to enjoy the meal. Eat slowly, enjoy feeding each other small bites occasionally, touch hands, and converse softly about the day you met, Christmas memories you have shared, or simply what the holidays and love means to you both. Close the dinner with a kiss to show how much you appreciate each other as individuals and as a couple on this special day and always.
Exchange gifts
The dinner may be done, but the night is far from over. Now is the time to exchange gifts if you wish. Even if your gifts are inexpensive, they can still be loving and thoughtful. Maybe you will give each other handmade cards with your own personal messages of love and joy. Or you might have purchased some personalized gifts - such as shirts, hats, coffee mugs, or pens - with festive and romantic pictures, and messages that reflect your true feelings for each other.
Christmas is not just for children; it is also a perfect time for you to show love for your significant other. Christmas dinner is the most romantic aspect of the holiday. What is mainly special about a romantic Christmas dinner is enjoying the love and togetherness that you share with your partner, and making lasting memories that you both can share for years to come.

In an effort to keep residents of Nassau County more informed on county issues, presiding officer of the county legislature, Judy Jacobs, announced a new format for printing legal notices in official county newspapers. The new format, according to Jacobs, will not only simplify the process in notifying residents about certain issues, it will also save the county money.
In response to some community members' dissatisfaction with the initial design of the outdoor façade of the Willis Avenue early childhood learning center, The Spector Group, the architecture team the Mineola School District hired to design the new building and grounds, presented two alternate designs of the building's façade. However, even the alternate designs were met with by opposition by some residents who feel the building doesn't look like a school that promotes warmth to kindergarten and pre-kindergarten students.
Since the beginning of the football season, 20 warriors have courageously battled under pressure and against all odds, only to end up on the short end of the stick. Those 20 warriors are the Mineola Mustangs varsity football team. Outweighed and overpowered, these guys have shed blood, sweat and tears, digging deep inside themselves to match strength with opponents twice their size. Some tough breaks and mistakes due to inexperience led to back to back shutouts at home for the boys in red, white and black. These selfless men have walked off the field physically and emotionally drained, leaving every ounce of effort and energy on the field. On top of all of this, these figurative kamikazes have had to deal with the feeling of disappointing their peers and community as a whole.
Mineola U-11 girls took first place in their division, going undefeated in the two-day tournament. On Saturday, Oct. 7, the Mineola Wizards defeated the Hewlett Blue Stars 5-1. The second game was against the Alburndale Raiders, which Mineola won 4-0. Their third game was against the Wantagh-Seaford Slingshots and Mineola again came out on top, winning 4-1. The Wizards had a three-game winning streak, heading into Sunday.

Dozens of reports dating back more than 45 years show Jesuit officials ignored or covered up allegations that former priest Donald McGuire was sexually abusing boys, said attorneys representing three men who contend they were molested by McGuire.
More than 60 documents filed as part of a Cook County lawsuit against McGuire and his Roman Catholic religious order indicate Jesuit officials had repeated warnings that McGuire was sexually abusing teenage boys but took no action against him, attorney Marc Pearlman said.
"They knew about it the whole time," said Pearlman, who represents three men suing McGuire and the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus for alleged abuse by the now-defrocked 80-year-old priest.
McGuire, a longtime adviser to Mother Teresa, is serving a 25-year prison term after being convicted in 2008 of federal charges that he brought a minor across state lines to engage in sex. He also was convicted in 2006 of molesting two boys in Wisconsin during the 1960s.
The documents alleging a coverup by Jesuit leaders were filed this week as part of a motion seeking extra, punitive damages in the civil case being pressed by the three men who say they were repeatedly abused by McGuire. To obtain those damages, they must show Jesuit leaders were aware of his actions but took no steps to curtail his alleged abuse, Pearlman said.
"If this claim doesn't meet that burden, I don't know what does," Pearlman said.
The legal case is unusual because of the decades-long paper trail that appears to indicate officials in McGuire's order were told repeatedly of his behavior but did nothing to stop it, the leader of a victim's advocacy group said.
"I can't think of another case I've studied that has so much notice. Time and time and time again there were complaints — with no action," said Terence McKiernan, president of the Massachusetts-based BishopAccountability.org.
Citing the pending legal action, the religious order declined Tuesday to comment, but said in a statement that it "encourages anyone who has been abused by a member of the Chicago-Detroit Province to contact the appropriate authorities, regardless of when the alleged abuse occurred."

If you are an attorney with federal criminal defense experience, if you are licensed to practice in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas (WDTX), if you have an office address in the counties served within the San Antonio Division, and you are interested in receiving federal court appointments, this article will guide you through the application procedure for the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Panel in the San Antonio Division.
You need to read the Amended CJA Plan for the San Antonio Division and fill out the 3-page application available on the website of the United States Courts, WDTX. They can also be found on the website of the Federal Public Defender (FPD) WDTX. The website addresses are:
(U.S. Courts WDTX)
The CJA Plan explains the CJA Policy adopted by this division, it sets forth the CJA Panel terms (most terms are renewed every 3 years), and the panel categories available to apply for with the qualification requirements for each category. The six categories are: (1) General Felony; (2) Complex-Case; (3) Appellate; (4) Non-Capital Habeas; (5) Auxiliary; and (6) Material Witness. The CJA Plan also includes information on the appointment process, the duties of appointed counsel, compensation, and San Antonio's mentoring program unique to the WDTX.
Your completed application should be sent to the: CJA Panel Committee c/o Federal Public Defender, 727 E. Durango, Suite B-207, San Antonio, Texas 78206-1278, for consideration by the San Antonio CJA Panel Committee. The committee meets three times per year to review any pending applications, or reconsider prior applications. The committee will confirm that all applicants are in good standing in the State Bar of Texas and the U.S. District Court for the WDTX. Also, the applicant must have demonstrated experience and knowledge of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, the United States Sentencing Guidelines, current federal law (case and statutory) governing sentencing, and the local rules of the Court. The most common reasons that someone is not placed on the panel are because they office outside the counties served within this division, or due to lack of experience.
Shortly after the committee meets, the applicant will be notified of the committee's placement decision by the Committee Chair who is the Honorable United States Chief District Judge Fred Biery. If you are placed onto the CJA Panel, you must comply with annual Continuing Legal Education requirements. If you don't qualify for the CJA Panel, you may be asked to resubmit an application once you gain more substantial experience, or you may be placed in the mentoring program. The mentoring program teams you with a veteran federal lawyer to allow you to gain valuable federal experience.
The current hourly CJA rate is $125 per hour for non-capital cases. This hourly rate covers in-court, out-of-court, and travel time. The current hourly CJA rate for capital cases is $178 per hour. Again, this rate covers in-court, out-of-court, and travel time.
Two useful information sources of support for the San Antonio CJA Panel attorneys, as well as other attorneys practicing in federal court, are the United States Courts' website and the website of the FPD. The Court's website provides information regarding the resources available to CJA Panel attorneys, such as investigators, expert services, and the payment forms. The Local Rules and the Administrative Polices and Procedure for Electronic filing can also be found there.
The FPD website offers the Fifth Circuit Blog, legal publications on subjects such as the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, federal sentencing guidelines, federal criminal appeals, and an index to our appellate brief bank and numerous legal links. If there are legal issues you would like to discuss with an Assistant Federal Public Defender, or if you need help with motions, the office of the FPD is available to assist. All CJA Panel attorneys are welcome to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com with their legal questions or requests. Additionally, the FPD sponsors annual local CLE seminars open to the CJA Panel. I send notification of training opportunities out by e-mail. Additionally, local and national trainings opportunities are posted on our website.
The Western District of Texas is fortunate to have an accessible and knowledgeable CJA Panel District Representative, John A. Convery. Mr. Convery is a well-known local criminal defense attorney and has been our district's representative for many years. He can be reached by calling his office at 210-738-9060 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We have a high-quality CJA Panel here in the San Antonio Division of the United States District Court that I am proud to assist. Good luck applying!

A rather vague teaser for a story in the Monday edition of Crains indicates that Mario Batali has gotten on the bad side of the Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York, which has brought lawsuits against Daniel Boulud and others: Mr. Batali and the workers group have been negotiating quietly, said Fekkak Mamdouh, co-founder of ROC NY. The group declined to give further details of about the labor action. Silly workers dont they know the more entertaining way to air their complaints against Batali is in book form?

David Saltzman
David Saltzman
What I do for SportsRadio 610: Sports talk show host with a bevy of Rice Owls knowledge.
Birthday: 7/21/73
Hometown: Houston
College: University of Texas
High school: Stratford High School
How long at SportsRadio 610: since April, 2011
How long in radio business: 15 years (and I still have hair)
Coolest person at SR610: Dan Matthews and Robert Henslee, because they bust their tails travelling all over the city to get news and interviews.
What I love about Houston: Its sports teams and its multiple places to get really good sushi
Favorite four-letter word: RICE
Experience: Play-by-play radio voice of Rice Owls football and men's basketball, TV play-by-play for CBS Sports Network, Comcast Sports Southwest and XFinity On Demand.
Teams followed: Rice Owls, anything else in Houston, any college team in Texas, Winnipeg Jets (NHL), Arsenal (EPL), The Four Horsemen when they were cool in the '80s and when I actually watched wrestling (WCW)
Signature lines:
- Oy!
Favorite sports experiences: Celebrating with thousands of others on Richmond after the Rockets won the 1994 NBA Title, seeing Mike Scott's no-hitter to clinch the Astros' division title on TV twice in one day: as it happened and then on tape delay with my dad after he came home from work (hey, I was 13 at the time).
Family: Born and raised Houstonian, married to Amy Loar (even though she's a Cowboys fan), Uncle David to 11 awesome nieces and nephews
More: David Saltzman has trouble staying quiet, which is why he loves filling in on SportsRadio 610 to talk about all things Houston sports and share Passover Seder stories with Barry Warner. David is also the radio play-by-play voice of Rice Owl football and men's basketball and does TV play-by-play for Houston-area high school sports.
A born-and-raised Houstonian, David has suffered being a Houston sports fan like many of you. As a nine-year-old, he cried going to sleep after NC State beat UH at the buzzer in the NCAA men's basketball championship game, and while he didn't cry after the Oilers blew their big lead at Denver to lose to John Elway and the Broncos in the 1992 NFL Playoffs, he didn't talk to anyone the rest of the day. He actually laughed when the Oilers blew their 35-3 lead at Buffalo in the playoffs the next year because, well, he had seen it before and wasn't surprised when it happened. Yet he still can't help but cheer wholeheartedly for the Astros, Rockets, Texans, and of course the Rice Owls
Scott Hastings talks Nuggets and Rockets
Nuggets commentator Scott Hastings joins Barry and David to discuss the Rockets series against the Nuggets.
John McClain: Texans Focused on Right Side of O-Line
John McClain joins Barry and David to talk about the upcoming NFL Draft and who the Texans may take.

Important Changes in Computing Net Economic Loss
Date: August 17, 2012
The North Carolina Department of Revenue has issued new guidance regarding changes in the calculation of Net Economic Loss (NEL) for businesses.
North Carolina General Statute 105-130.8 allows a deduction to a corporation that has sustained a net economic loss in any or all of the 15 preceding income years. The purpose of allowing the deduction is to grant some financial relief to a corporation that has incurred economic misfortune.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Kiwanis Club in Clarksville is seeking information about any veterans who ever lived in the Clarksville-Montgomery County area to go into a new edition of the "Faces of Valor" history booklets.
The group is working on the third edition of the booklet that contains photos and data about county veterans going back as far as the Revolutionary War.

Make A Difference
Causes of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an auto immune disorder. Instead of attacking infection, as the immune system is supposed to; auto immune disorder attacks parts of the body instead. In the case of Alopecia Areata, the auto immune disorder attacks the hair follicles.
While the exact cause of alopecia areata is not clear, it appears to be a genetic predisposition that is triggered by an external variable. The trigger may be environmental .
Living with Alopecia Areata
Hair is an important part of self identity and is often glamorized by the media, movies and magazines. For a young child, teen or working adult, the unpredictability of Alopecia Areata can be devastating. Social reaction can create more problems including acting as a catalyst to agitate the frustration and isolation.
Wigs, eyebrow and eye lash options are available but often are expensive and sometimes make the situation appear worse if they are not well crafted.
Support groups, online sites and education can all help those suffering from the effects of Alopecia Areata.
Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Part of the unpredictability of Alopecia Areata is that it can change and shift in its progress without warning. The hair follicles can regrow hair, but are waiting, seemingly for a new trigger to start the regrowth. The hair can come and go several times.
For Mild, Patchy Alopecia Areata
Cortisone Treatments
A dermatologist can inject cortisone into the bald patches, which may stimulate new hair growth. Usually if there is hair regrowth it will be within four weeks of the injections, which will need to be repeated; generally once a month.
Topical Minoxidil
A 5% solution of Minoxidil can be applied twice a day to stimulate regrowth on scalp and eyebrow areas. It can be discontinued if the hair returns. A 2% topical solution of Minoxidil is not effective on its own but can be effective if cortisone cream is used 30 minutes after the application of Minoxidil.
Anthralin cream or ointment
This tar like synthetic substance was developed to treat psoriasis. Topically applied to the bald patches, then removed within 60 minutes; brown discoloration can occur and can be irritating to the skin.
Alopecia Areata Totalis and
Alopecia Areata Universalis (Hair loss over 50%)
In some cases the hair loss on the scalp is total; in other cases all body hair is lost. For these cases the treatment options are more limited.
Cortisone Pills
Cortisone taken internally is stronger than the injection application. There are side effects, the prevent cortisone pills from being used in alopecia areata patients and hair loss may return if the cortisone pills are stopped.
Topical Immunotherapy
An allergic reaction is created on the skin with using chemical application; the reaction will resemble poison ivy. 40% of patients undergoing this treatment will regrow hair within 6 months.

I knew a girl who had this in high school, although hers was really bad and she wore a wig.
by acrogodessJuly 1, 2012 at 4:00 PMMy friend from church, our reverend's daughter has this. She wears a wig unless she goes swimming. I told her she has nothing to be ashamed of, but she is still shy letting people see her without her wig

November 28, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- One of Gov. Scott Walker's top aides will soon find out how much restitution he owes following a conviction on a theft charge.
Timothy D. Russell pleaded guilty to stealing more than $20,000 from a nonprofit group that Walker appointed him to lead back when Walker was the Milwaukee County executive.
Russell was sentenced in January to two years in prison. At that hearing prosecutors sought restitution but turned down the defense's offer of $22,000, saying the amount should be higher. So a hearing to settle on an amount was set for Thursday afternoon.
Defense attorney Parker Mathers tells The Associated Press there's no pre-arranged agreement with the state heading into the hearing. He also adds that Russell has cooperated throughout the case.

There are several grammatical and stylistic things that I'm just uncomfortable with, but I'm frankly at a loss as to how to address them. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi LeeAnn,
I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to rent the chalet. We had a wonderful time there playing pool and being outside on the deck. I also wanted to say that the beds there were all very comfortable! I've stayed at a lot of places and it's always disappointing when the beds aren't good. The place was very nice and we had a great weekend.
Thanks again,

Police are asking for information about a crash that occurred on Interstate 93 near Exit 2. Troopers from New Hampshire State Police Troop B, Troop G and Salem Fire and Police responded to accident at about 1:15 PM, which caused major delays on I-93 south on Thursday. The initial investigation revealed a Chevy Suburban that was towing a camper was traveling in the left lane of the highway when it lost control.
The Suburban spun, crossed into the travel lane, and struck the guardrail. As the vehicle was striking the guardrail, a Kenworth tractor-trailer unit collided with the camper. The collision caused the camper to break apart and spread debris across the highway.
The driver of the Suburban, Faith Hanney, 70, along with the passenger, John Hanney, 77, both from Meredith, NH, were transported Lawrence General Hospital in Lawrence, MA. They both were suffering from non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Kenworth, Thomas Darcy, 56, of South Boston, MA, was uninjured and did not require medical attention.
Mr. Darcy attempted to avoid the vehicles by braking and moving his truck towards the passing lane, however, he was unable to do so. Drugs and alcohol have been determined to not be a factor in the crash. Speed and unsafe lane change were factors, however. No charges are being brought forward at this time.
If anyone has more information or witnessed this accident, they are urged to contact Trooper Jeffrey Tenczar at 603-271-1154.

EUTHYDEMUS by Plato, Part 08
And are you such an old fool, Socrates, rejoined Dionysodorus, that you bring up now what I said at first-and if I had said anything last year, I suppose that you would bring that up too-but are non-plussed at the words which I have just uttered? Why, I said, they are not easy to answer; for they are the words of wise men: and indeed I know not what to make of this word "nonplussed," which you used last: what do you mean by it, Dionysodorus? You must mean that I cannot refute your argument. Tell me if the words have any other sense. No, he replied, they mean what you say. And now answer. What, before you, Dionysodorus? I said. Answer, said he. And is that fair? Yes, quite fair, he said. Upon what principle? I said. I can only suppose that you are a very wise man who comes to us in the character of a great logician, and who knows when to answer and when not to answer-and now you will not open your mouth at all, because you know that you ought not. You prate, he said, instead of answering. But if, my good sir, you admit that I am wise, answer as I tell you. I suppose that I must obey, for you are master. Put the question. Are the things which have sense alive or lifeless? They are alive. And do you know of any word which is alive? I cannot say that I do. Then why did you ask me what sense my words had? Why, because I was stupid and made a mistake. And yet, perhaps, I was right after all in saying that words have a sense;-what do you say, wise man? If I was not in error, even you will not refute me, and all your wisdom will be non-plussed; but if I did fall into error, then again you are wrong in saying that there is no error,-and this remark was made by you not quite a year ago. I am inclined to think, however, Dionysodorus and Euthydemus, that this argument lies where it was and is not very likely to advance: even your skill in the subtleties of logic, which is really amazing, has not found out the way of throwing another and not falling yourself, now any more than of old. Ctesippus said: Men of Chios, Thurii, or however and whatever you call yourselves, I wonder at you, for you seem to have no objection to talking nonsense. Fearing that there would be high words, I again endeavoured to soothe Ctesippus, and said to him: To you, Ctesippus, I must repeat what I said before to Cleinias-that you do not understand the ways of these philosophers from abroad. They are not serious, but, like the Egyptian wizard, Proteus, they take different forms and deceive us by their enchantments: and let us, like Menelaus, refuse to let them go until they show themselves to us in earnest. When they begin to be in earnest their full beauty will appear: let us then beg and entreat and beseech them to shine forth. And I think that I had better once more exhibit the form in which I pray to behold them; it might be a guide to them. I will go on therefore where I left off, as well as I can, in the hope that I may touch their hearts and move them to pity, and that when they see me deeply serious and interested, they also may be serious. You, Cleinias, I said, shall remind me at what point we left off. Did we not agree that philosophy should be studied? and was not that our conclusion? Yes, he replied. And philosophy is the acquisition of knowledge? Yes, he said. And what knowledge ought we to acquire? May we not answer with absolute truth-A knowledge which will do us good? Certainly, he said. And should we be any the better if we went about having a knowledge of the places where most gold was hidden in the earth? Perhaps we should, he said. But have we not already proved, I said, that we should be none the better off, even if without trouble and digging all the gold which there is in the earth were ours? And if we knew how to convert stones into gold, the knowledge would be of no value to us, unless we also knew how to use the gold? Do you not remember? I said. I quite remember, he said. Nor would any other knowledge, whether of money-making, or of medicine, or of any other art which knows only how to make a thing, and not to use it when made, be of any good to us. Am I not right? He agreed. And if there were a knowledge which was able to make men immortal, without giving them the knowledge of the way to use the immortality, neither would there be any use in that, if we may argue from the analogy of the previous instances? To all this he agreed. Then, my dear boy, I said, the knowledge which we want is one that uses as well as makes? True, he said. And our desire is not to be skilful lyre-makers, or artists of that sort-far otherwise; for with them the art which makes is one, and the art which uses is another. Although they have to do with the same, they are divided: for the art which makes and the art which plays on the lyre differ widely from one another. Am I not right? He agreed. And clearly we do not want the art of the flute-maker; this is only another of the same sort? He assented. But suppose, I said, that we were to learn the art of making speeches-would that be the art which would make us happy? I should say no, rejoined Cleinias. And why should you say so? I asked. I see, he replied, that there are some composers of speeches who do not know how to use the speeches which they make, just as the makers of lyres do not know how to use the lyres; and also some who are of themselves unable to compose speeches, but are able to use the speeches which the others make for them; and this proves that the art of making speeches is not the same as the art of using them.

Through A Child's Eyes: The Lure of Painted Poetry
By Seema Rao
Museum Educator
The Lure of Painted Poetry: Japanese and Korean Art may not seem to have too much lure to someone who can't read English poetry, let alone Japanese. However, the exhibition can hold quite a draw to the under 5 set. Below is a tour of the exhibition by Maya, a 4-year-old visitor who chose a few of her favorite works.
"My name is Maya. I like to do stuff at school and home like painting. Here are some things here that I like."

Jackie O'Motherfucker Rollicks in The Freedom of Improv Rock
Greenwood knows the not necessarily sellable. He didn't co-found JOMF in Portland, Ore., in 1994 with the intention of not introducing the band's musical alchemy into the marketplace, just that whether or not what it concocted was marketable wasn't a concern. In fact, practically everything about the band would waver from the usual m.o. of the so-called industry. Then a duo, JOMF self-recorded wiggy, wandering instrumental albums released on Portland's small IMP Records, before growing amorphously into a rotating ensemble that rehearsed, occasionally toured, and documented its improvisation-based, primal cosmic-banshee Americana on Mike Hinds' now defunct Road Cone imprint. Membership is fluid--players come and go, the threads holding the band together are a shared think-space from playing together and being a part of the band's social network.
Currently, Greenwood says there are somewhere between 40 and 50 JOMF members around the country, and when it's time for a JOMF project--tour, sound installation, recording, festival appearance, whatever--calls are placed, schedules checked, and whoever is available meets up, discusses what sort of music they want to make, and rehearses and acclimates socially and musically. That may sound pant's-seat uncertain, but it's exactly why JOMF has been an exploratory entity for a decade, and why it is a sterling example that musical ideas--like any belief system put forth with conviction--can gain momentum over time. The constantly evolving, rapturous calamity kicked up by JOMF is a direct result of, not in spite of, its rubbery approach to music making, lineups, and life.
For its upcoming string of dates, the Hudson, N.Y.-based Greenwood has come down to Baltimore to assemble this version of JOMF at the recently purchased Roland Park home of friends who have yet to move in. Tall, lean, and affably unpretentious, Greenwood stands on the front porch enjoying a post-dinner smoke with four of the soon to be eight other JOMF members: David from Montreal ("David is OK, I like first names"), Andy Cvar, Genevieve Dellinger, and Brooke Crouser (yet to arrive are Fluffy, Vas drummer Jeff Mooridian, and Theo Angell). Greenwood arrived earlier in the week, the rest have showed up in the interim, and they've been hanging out, listening to music, and making music in the carriage house out back, picking their way through ideas for guitars, Fender Rhodes bass, vibraphone, electric saw, banjo, drums, autoharp, turntables, and whatever else may strike their fancy.
Improv-based rock bands can be a conundrum: What can sound like improv may merely be something tightly articulated, where the seeds of improv generate sonic ideas that are set into wiggle-room-free composition, à la Tortoise. Other multi-idiom and pan-ethnic musical travelers use improv as the entire raison d'être, the key that ignites the band's internal engine--see the Sun City Girls, the Dead C, Japanese power ensembles such as Vajra, et cetera.
Ask which side of the improv coin Jackie O'Motherfucker falls on and its members respond yes, yes, yes, and all of the above. JOMF's only musical norm appears to be that there are no norms, and bundled up against the wind sweeping off the porch, they all appear as relaxed as big cats sunning on a plain, even though the tour starts in less than a week and, to hear them talk about, they're still not entirely sure what they're going to be doing.
"We're actually working on some pretty heavy compositions on this tour," Greenwood says. "I mean, the last time we went out together with a similar group like this we just let it all fly wherever it came from. And we've talked about trying to work on something a little differently, though I can't really tell you how it's going to happen. We actually haven't got it going yet. There's more people turning up tomorrow, so we're hoping to spend the next few days working out some ideas."
"The great thing about this kind of thing is before this musical congregation happens already a certain language that people understand has slowly developed over the course of playing together," David says. "Most times we don't even know what we're going to do until we get to the space we're playing."
That may sound amorphous, but JOMF's recorded output speaks to its sprawling ability to go wherever the moment takes it. Last fall the label side of All Tomorrow's Parties reissued a double CD of JOMF's 1999's Wow! (Ecstatic Peace!) and 2000's The Magick Fire Music (Fisheye), both vinyl-only releases that were recorded in 1998 and '99 at Baltimore's ACR studios with Craig Bowen. Similar lineups smelted both, though Wow!'s three excursions sound like Far Eastern ramblers camping out in the Smoky Mountains, while Magick hijacks Hash Jar Tempo-droning blue guitar smoke cut with John Fahey-esque sound tapestries. Like an amoeba, this band can ooze practically in every direction at once and still maintain its singular identity.
"I think there's a pretty unselfconscious feeling in this group of people," Dellinger says. "There's a great deal of support for each one of us. We're in an environment where if we feel we want to play something, whatever it is, if it's bad it doesn't matter and if it's good that's great. It's great to be in a setting where you feel like there's no wrong."
"One of the primary ingredients [for making this music] is you have to be willing to fail," Greenwood adds. "Sometimes you can have a really failing section and then pull it together and have something really spectacular at the end. Or whatever. The point, I think, is just not to give up on it, really."
Relying entirely on the moment, fearlessly trying something that can veer into ugly beauty--"There's something also very beautiful about watching a sinking ship," David notes. "I love watching the awkwardness and the fragility of people trying to levitate a building, and sometimes it just doesn't work."--and not knowing what you're going to perform until you get to the performance space: These are hardly the working maxims of a band aiming for commercial success. Yet despite its underground dwellings, JOMF does enter the marketplace's fringes, releasing records and performing shows that achieve those ecstatic, sublime moments that music so rarely reaches for, let alone attains, that muddying with quasi explanations is one of the more pointless endeavors found outside an advertising agency.
"It's really hilarious to watch this shit try to be marketed, ourselves included," Greenwood says. "I just looked at this thing from Japan, a display for Jackie O'Motherfucker, and it looks like a soapbox or something. It's just crazy to look at."

Hoping to open them up beyond the 3,000 businesses who already have a presence.
Social location service Foursquare has announced that its Pages feature is now self-service for any brand, organisation or publication that wants a presence on the service.
The startup has been working with the likes of MTV, Intel, New York Times and NASA to create their Pages on Foursquare in the last 18 months, with around 3,000 Pages created so far.
Now it's being opened up to everyone. Why would a brand or company want a Foursquare Page? It lets them publish tips, check-ins and photos, while also having a team of people manage the Page. And, of course, the aim is to get Foursquare users to follow the brand, as another way to connect with people through social media.
The news comes as Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley revealed that Foursquare users are now checking in three million times every day. The service has 10 million registered users, while 500,000 venues have signed up to manage their profiles.

"Before the tsunami . . . I was a fisherman . . . I had a house . . . I had a son who spoke English . . . I had five grandchildren."
"Before the tsunami" is a phrase often on the lips of survivors. There were so many things before the tsunami where there are now only empty spaces—open fields speckled with house foundations wiped clean.
Two UMCOR Indonesia staff members drove me to see the damage in Banda Aceh. Time has done little to heal the gaping wounds the sea cut across this city and throughout the province. As we near the sea Ambiya, UMCOR's procurement officer in Banda Aceh, points to the left side of the road where I see an open field. "That was my mother's village," he says. We drive further and he points to the right, the land is filled with stagnant water and rubble. The shell of one large concrete house stands. "That was my father's village." Then he points to a driveway leading to an empty lot. "That was my house."
Everyone who lives here has a story to tell—a story of survival and loss, of bravery and brokenness. They are sacred tales that represent the rending of many lives in two: life before the tsunami, and life after.
A Better Future
UMCOR is working with survivors to make their lives after the tsunami better. In Banda Aceh UMCOR is reaching out to survivors still living in barracks-style temporary shelters because they have no where else to go. UMCOR is working with 100 families living in two of these temporary living centers, helping them make plans for a future. Most people already know what they need to do; they need income and a place to live. Some have specific ideas of how they want to go about this. They just need a hand up to make these plans a reality.
UMCOR is helping people like Rima who mistook the sound of the tsunami approaching her village for thunder and its dark appearance rising above the trees for a storm cloud. When she and her husband realized what they were seeing was nothing as ordinary as a quick-moving storm, they grabbed their two small children and ran. They didn't get far before the tsunami caught up with them. The family was separated in the roiling waves. Four days later Rima's relatives found her and brought her to their home where she met up with her husband and oldest child. Their youngest child was never found.
Rima and her family now live in a temporary living center just outside of Banda Aceh. Their house was completely destroyed and the little work Rima's husband can find barely covers their living expenses. They want to move out of the barracks, and UMCOR is helping them by providing livelihood training and assistance that will lead to more income for the family. UMCOR is also working to find permanent housing solutions for these displaced families.
The staff at the Banda Aceh office, like UMCOR's offices throughout Indonesia, is made up mostly of fellow Indonesians. Many of them experienced personal loss when the tsunami roared ashore. They have a personal commitment to helping survivors to not only have what they need for today, but to build a new future. "A new life started after the tsunami," said one survivor. UMCOR is working to make it the best one possible.
UMCOR is working on assisting displaced people in Indonesia and other places in South Asia to rebuild their lives and return to farming, fishing, or other work. United Methodists can get involved in ministries like these through giving to UMCOR Advance #982450, International Disaster Response. United Methodist Committee on Relief is a 501(c)(3) charity and all contributions are fully tax deductible. Checks may be mailed to UMCOR, PO Box 9068, New York, NY 10187-9068.
